Volume HeatMap Divergence [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
The Volume HeatMap Divergence is a smart volume visualization tool that overlays normalized volume data directly on the chart. Using a color heatmap from aqua to red, it transforms raw volume into an intuitive scale — highlighting areas of weak to intense market participation. Additionally, it detects volume-based divergences from price to signal potential reversals or exhaustion zones. Combined with clear visual labeling, this tool empowers traders with actionable volume insights.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Normalized Volume Heatmap : Volume is normalized to a 0–100% scale and visually represented as candles below the chart.
float vol = volume / ta.percentile_nearest_rank(volume, 1000, 100) * 100
Bar Coloring : Price candles are dynamically colored based on volume intensity.
Volume Divergence Logic :
Bullish Divergence : Price forms a lower low, but volume forms a higher low.
Bearish Divergence : Price forms a higher high, but volume forms a lower high.
Dynamic Detection Range : Customizable range ensures divergence signals are meaningful and not random.
Volume Labels : Additional info on divergence bars shows both the actual volume and its normalized % score.
🔵 FEATURES
Volume Heatmap Plot : Normalized volume values colored using a smooth gradient from aqua (low) to red (high).
Price Bar Coloring : Candlesticks on the main chart adopt the same heatmap color based on volume.
Divergence Detection :
Bullish divergence with label and low marker
Bearish divergence with label and high marker
Dual Divergence Labels :
On the volume plot : Direction (Bull/Bear), raw volume, and normalized %
On the price chart : Shape labels showing "Bull" or "Bear" at local highs/lows
Custom Inputs :
Divergence range (min & max), pivot detection distance (left/right)
Toggle to show/hide divergence labels, volume, and % text
Clear Bull/Bear Coloring : Fully customizable label and line colors for both bullish and bearish signals.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Use the indicator as an overlay to monitor real-time volume strength using the heatmap color.
Watch for divergence markers:
Bullish divergence: Candle shows higher volume while price makes a new low
Bearish divergence: Candle shows lower volume while price makes a new high
Use the volume info labels to verify the context of divergence:
Actual volume at divergence candle
Normalized % of that volume compared to past 1000 bars
Adjust pivot sensitivity using "Pivot Left" and "Pivot Right" to tune signal frequency and lag with a right pivot length.
Use divergence zones as early warnings for potential reversals or trend shifts.
Disable or customize labels in settings depending on your charting preferences.
🔵 CONCLUSION
Volume HeatMap Divergence merges heatmap-style volume visualization with intelligent divergence detection — giving traders a clean yet powerful edge. By revealing hidden disconnections between price and participation, it helps users spot exhaustion moves or hidden accumulation zones before the market reacts. Whether you’re a scalper, swing trader, or intraday strategist, this tool offers real-time clarity on who’s in control behind the candles.

Major exchages total Open interest & Long/Short OI trends📊 Indicator: Major Exchanges Total OI & Long/Short Trends
This Pine Script™ indicator is designed to provide a comprehensive analysis of Open Interest (OI) and Long/Short position trends across major cryptocurrency exchanges (Binance, Bybit, OKX, Bitget, HTX, Deribit). It serves as a powerful tool for traders seeking to understand market liquidity, participant positioning, and overall market sentiment.
🔑 Key Features and Functionalities
Aggregated Multi-Exchange Open Interest (OI):
Consolidates real-time Open Interest data from user-selected major cryptocurrency exchanges.
Provides a unified view of the total OI, offering insights into the collective market liquidity and the aggregate size of participants' open positions.
Visualized Combined OI Candles:
Presents the aggregated total OI data in a candlestick chart format.
Displays the Open, High, Low, and Close of the combined OI, with color variations indicating increases or decreases from the previous period. This enables intuitive visualization of OI trend shifts.
Estimated Long/Short OI and Visualization:
Calculates and visualizes estimated Long and Short position Open Interest based on the total aggregated OI data.
Estimation Logic:
Employs a sophisticated logic that considers both price changes and OI fluctuations to infer the balance between Long and Short positions. For instance, an increase in both price and OI may suggest an accumulation of Long positions, while a price decrease coupled with an OI increase might indicate growing Short positions.
Initial 50:50 Ratio:
The estimation for Long/Short OI begins with an assumption of a 50:50 ratio at the initial data point available for the selected timeframe. This establishes a neutral baseline, from which subsequent price and OI changes drive the divergence and evolution of the estimated Long/Short balance.
Flexible Visualization Options:
Allows users to display Long/Short OI data in either line or candlestick styles, with customizable color schemes. This flexibility aids in clearly discerning bullish or bearish positioning trends.
💡 Development Background
The development of this indicator stems from the critical importance of Open Interest data in the cryptocurrency derivatives market. Recognizing the limitations of analyzing individual exchange OI in isolation, the primary objective was to integrate data from leading exchanges to offer a holistic perspective on market sentiment and overall positioning dynamics.
The inclusion of the Long/Short position estimation feature is crucial for deciphering the specific directional biases of market participants, which is often not evident from raw OI data alone. This enables a deeper understanding of how positions are being accumulated or liquidated, moving beyond simple OI change analysis.
Furthermore, a key design consideration was to leverage the characteristic where the indicator's data start point dynamically adjusts with the chart's timeframe selection. This allows for the analysis of short-term Long/Short trends on shorter timeframes and long-term trends on longer timeframes. This inherent flexibility empowers traders to conduct analyses across various time scales, aligning with their diverse trading strategies.
🚀 Trading Applications
Leveraging Combined Open Interest (OI):
Trend Confirmation: A sustained increase in total OI signifies growing market interest and capital inflow, potentially confirming the strength of an existing trend. Conversely, decreasing OI may suggest diminishing participant interest or widespread position liquidation.
Validation of Price Extremes: If price forms a new high but OI fails to increase or declines, it could signal a potential trend reversal (divergence). Conversely, a sharp increase in OI during a price decline might indicate a surge in short positions or renewed selling pressure.
Identifying Volatility Triggers: Monitoring rapid shifts in OI during significant news events or market catalysts can help assess immediate market reactions and liquidity changes.
📈Utilizing Long/Short OI Trends
Assessing Market Bias: A sustained dominance or rapid increase in Long OI suggests a prevalent bullish sentiment, which could inform decisions to enter or maintain long positions. The inverse scenario indicates bearish sentiment and potential short entry opportunities.
Anticipating Squeezes: The indicator can help identify scenarios conducive to short or long squeezes. Excessive short positioning followed by a price uptick can trigger a short squeeze, leading to rapid price appreciation. Conversely, an oversupply of long positions preceding a price drop can result in a long squeeze and sharp declines.
Divergence Analysis: Divergences between price action and Long/Short OI estimates can signal potential trend reversals. For example, if price is rising but the increase in Long OI slows down or Short OI begins to grow, it may suggest weakening buying pressure.
🕔Timeframe-Specific Trend Analysis:
Shorter Timeframes (e.g., 1m, 5m, 15m): Ideal for identifying short-term shifts in participant positioning, beneficial for day trading and scalping strategies. Provides insights into immediate market reactions to price movements.
Longer Timeframes (e.g., 1h, 4h, Daily): Valuable for evaluating broader positioning trends and the sustainability or potential reversal of medium-to-long-term trends. Offers a macro perspective on Long/Short dynamics, suitable for swing trading or long-term investment strategies.
This indicator integrates complex market data, provides nuanced Long/Short position estimations, and offers multi-timeframe analytical capabilities, empowering traders to make more informed and strategic decisions.

SuperTrend Dual RMAOverview
The SuperTrend Dual RMA is a hybrid volatility-based trend-following system that merges two Relative Moving Averages (RMAs) with an Average True Range (ATR)–anchored SuperTrend framework. The primary purpose of this indicator is to offer a smoother and more reliable depiction of directional bias while maintaining sensitivity to price volatility and market volume.
Traditional SuperTrend implementations typically rely on a single moving average and a fixed volatility envelope. This dual RMA structure introduces an adaptive central tendency line that reacts proportionally to both price and volume, allowing for more nuanced identification of trend reversals and continuation patterns.
**Core Concept**
The indicator is built around two key principles — smoothing and volatility adaptation.
1. **Smoothing:** The use of two separate RMAs with configurable lengths creates a dynamic equilibrium between short-term responsiveness and long-term stability. The first RMA captures near-term directional shifts, while the second provides broader market context. The average of both becomes the foundation of the SuperTrend bands.
2. **Volatility Adaptation:** The ATR multiplier and period define the distance between upper and lower bands relative to recent volatility. This ensures that the SuperTrend line remains flexible across varying market conditions — expanding during high volatility and contracting during calm phases.
**Calculation Steps**
* The indicator first computes two volume-weighted RMAs based on the typical price (`hlc3`) multiplied by trading volume.
* Each RMA is normalized by the smoothed volume to maintain proportional weighting.
* These two RMAs are averaged to produce a “basis line” that reflects the current market consensus price.
* The ATR is calculated over a user-defined period, then multiplied by a volatility factor (ATR multiplier).
* The resulting ATR value defines dynamic upper and lower thresholds around the basis line.
* Trend direction is determined by price closing behavior relative to these thresholds:
* When the closing price exceeds the upper band, the trend is considered bullish.
* When it drops below the lower band, the trend turns bearish.
* If price remains within the bands, the prior trend direction is maintained for consistency.
**Visual Structure**
The SuperTrend Dual RMA provides multiple layers of visual feedback for enhanced interpretation:
* Two distinct RMA lines (short and long) are plotted with complementary colors for contrast and clarity.
* A soft fill between the RMA lines highlights the interaction between short- and medium-term momentum.
* The ATR-based SuperTrend bands are drawn above and below the basis, with adaptive coloring that corresponds to the prevailing trend direction.
* Bar colors automatically adjust to reflect bullish or bearish bias, making it easy to identify trend shifts without relying solely on crossovers.
* Optional triangle markers appear below or above bars to signal potential buy or sell opportunities based on crossover logic.
**Signals and Alerts**
The indicator provides real-time crossover detection:
* **Buy Signal:** Triggered when the closing price moves above the SuperTrend line, confirming potential bullish continuation or reversal.
* **Sell Signal:** Triggered when the closing price drops below the SuperTrend line, indicating possible bearish momentum or reversal.
Both conditions have built-in `alertcondition()` functions, allowing users to set automated alerts for trading or monitoring purposes. This enables integration with TradingView’s alert system for push notifications, emails, or webhook connections.
**Usage Guidelines**
* **Trend Identification:** Use the color-coded trend line and bar color as a visual guide to the current directional bias.
* **Entry and Exit Timing:** Consider entering trades when a new crossover alert appears, preferably in the direction of the overall higher-timeframe trend.
* **Parameter Tuning:** Adjust the RMA lengths and ATR parameters based on asset volatility. Shorter RMA and ATR settings provide faster reactions, suitable for intraday or high-frequency trading, while longer configurations better fit swing or position strategies.
* **Risk Management:** Because the SuperTrend inherently acts as a dynamic stop level, traders can use the opposite band or SuperTrend line as a trailing stop or exit signal.
**Practical Applications**
* Trend confirmation in multi-timeframe strategies.
* Adaptive trailing stop placement using the lower or upper band.
* Visual comparison of volume-weighted price movement against volatility envelopes.
* Integration into algorithmic trading systems as a signal filter or trend bias component.
* Identification of overextended conditions when price significantly diverges from the SuperTrend basis.
**Originality and Advantages**
The SuperTrend Dual RMA differentiates itself from conventional SuperTrend scripts through three innovative design choices:
1. **Dual Volume-Weighted RMAs:** By incorporating two RMAs weighted by trading volume, the indicator accounts for liquidity dynamics, producing smoother and more reliable averages compared to price-only calculations.
2. **Anchored SuperTrend Framework:** The SuperTrend bands are not derived from a fixed source (such as a single close or median price) but from a blended RMA basis, making them more adaptable to varying market behaviors.
3. **Integrated Multi-Layer Visualization:** The inclusion of filled regions between RMAs, dynamic band coloring, and bar tinting enhances readability and analytical depth without overwhelming the chart.
These improvements collectively create a more balanced and data-rich representation of market structure, offering a higher degree of analytical precision. It’s suitable for traders seeking both discretionary and systematic use, as the indicator’s logic is transparent and compatible with alert-based or automated workflows.
**Summary**
The SuperTrend Dual RMA is a refined evolution of the classic SuperTrend, optimized for traders who value smoother directional tracking and more intelligent volatility adaptation. It blends two time-sensitive, volume-aware moving averages with an ATR-derived volatility system to deliver reliable, actionable trend information. Its visual design, adaptive responsiveness, and integrated alert functionality make it a complete solution for identifying and managing trends across multiple asset classes and timeframes.
Quasimodo Pattern Strategy Back Test [TradingFinder] QM Trading🔵 Introduction
The QM pattern, also known as the Quasimodo pattern, is one of the popular patterns in price action, and it is often used by technical analysts. The QM pattern is used to identify trend reversals and provides a very good risk-to-reward ratio. One of the advantages of the QM pattern is its high frequency and visibility in charts.
Additionally, due to its strength, it is highly profitable, and as mentioned, its risk-to-reward ratio is very good. The QM pattern is highly popular among traders in supply and demand, and traders also use this pattern.
The Price Action QM pattern, like other Price Action patterns, has two types: Bullish QM and Bearish QM patterns. To identify this pattern, you need to be familiar with its types to recognize it.
🔵 Identifying the QM Pattern
🟣 Bullish QM
In the bullish QM pattern, as you can see in the image below, an LL and HH are formed. As you can see, the neckline is marked as a dashed line. When the price reaches this range, it will start its upward movement.
🟣 Bearish QM
The Price Action QM pattern also has a bearish pattern. As you can see in the image below, initially, an HH and LL are formed. The neckline in this image is the dashed line, and when the LL is formed, the price reaches this neckline. However, it cannot pass it, and the downward trend resumes.
🔵 How to Use
The Quasimodo pattern is one of the clearest structures used to identify market reversals. It is built around the concept of a structural break followed by a pullback into an area of trapped liquidity. Instead of relying on lagging indicators, this pattern focuses purely on price action and how the market reacts after exhausting one side of liquidity. When understood correctly, it provides traders with precise entry points at the transition between trend phases.
🟣 Bullish Quasimodo
A bullish Quasimodo forms after a clear downtrend when sellers start losing control. The market continues to make lower lows until a sudden higher high appears, signaling that buyers are entering with strength. Price then pulls back to retest the previous low, creating what is known as the Quasimodo low.
This area often becomes the final trap for sellers before the market shifts upward. A visible rejection or displacement from this zone confirms bullish momentum. Traders usually place entries near this level, stops below the low, and targets at previous highs or the next resistance zone. Combining the setup with demand zones or Fair Value Gaps increases its accuracy.
🟣 Bearish Quasimodo
A bearish Quasimodo forms near the top of an uptrend when buyers begin to lose strength. The market continues to make higher highs until a sudden lower low breaks the bullish structure, showing that selling pressure is entering the market. Price then retraces upward to retest the previous high, forming the Quasimodo high, where breakout buyers are often trapped.
Once rejection appears at this level, it indicates a likely reversal. Traders can enter short near this area, with stop-losses placed above the high and targets near the next support or previous lows. The setup gains more reliability when aligned with supply zones, SMT divergence, or bearish Fair Value Gaps.
🔵 Setting
Pivot Period : You can use this parameter to use your desired period to identify the QM pattern. By default, this parameter is set to the number 5.
Take Profit Mode : You can choose your desired Take Profit in three ways. Based on the logic of the QM strategy, you can select two Take Profit levels, TP1 and TP2. You can also choose your take profit based on the Reward to Risk ratio. You must enter your desired R/R in the Reward to Risk Ratio parameter.
Stop Loss Refine : The loss limit of the QM strategy is based on its logic on the Head pattern. You can refine it using the ATR Refine option to prevent Stop Hunt. You can enter your desired coefficient in the Stop Loss ATR Adjustment Coefficient parameter.
Reward to Risk Ratio : If you set Take Profit Mode to R/R, you must enter your desired R/R here. For example, if your loss limit is 10 pips and you set R/R to 2, your take profit will be reached when the price is 20 pips away from your entry point.
Stop Loss ATR Adjustment Coefficient : If you set Stop Loss Refine to ATR Refine, you must adjust your loss limit coefficient here. For example, if your buy position's loss limit is at the price of 1000, and your ATR is 10, if you set Stop Loss ATR Adjustment Coefficient to 2, your loss limit will be at the price of 980.
Entry Level Validity : Determines how long the Entry level remains valid. The higher the level, the longer the entry level will remain valid. By default it is 2 and it can be set between 2 and 15.

Robust Scaled Dema | OquantOverview
The Robust Scaled DEMA indicator is a tool designed for traders seeking to identify potential trend directions in financial markets. It combines the smoothing capabilities of a Double Exponential Moving Average (DEMA) with a robust scaling mechanism to normalize the data, making it more resilient to outliers and extreme price movements. This scaling helps in generating long and short signals based on predefined thresholds, visualized through color-coded plots and bars. The indicator aims to provide a balanced view of market momentum, reducing the impact of noise while highlighting significant shifts in price behavior.
Key Factors/Components
DEMA (Double Exponential Moving Average): Serves as the core smoothing component, reducing lag compared to simple averages by emphasizing recent price action more effectively.
Robust Scaling Mechanism: Utilizes statistical measures like median and interquartile range to normalize the DEMA values, ensuring the indicator is less sensitive to extreme values or price spikes.
Thresholds: User-defined upper and lower levels that trigger long or short signals when the scaled DEMA crosses them.
Visual Elements: Includes plotted lines for the scaled DEMA and thresholds, plus color-coded candlestick bars for intuitive interpretation.
Alerts: Built-in conditions for notifying users of potential entry points for long or short positions.
How It Works
The indicator starts by applying a DEMA to the chosen price source to create a smoothed representation of the market's direction. This smoothed value is then scaled using a robust statistical approach that accounts for the distribution of recent DEMA values, centering it around a median and adjusting for variability to minimize the influence of outliers. The resulting scaled metric is compared against user-set upper and lower thresholds: crossing above the upper suggests a bullish momentum (long signal), while dipping below the lower indicates bearish conditions (short signal). A state variable tracks these conditions to color the chart accordingly, helping traders visualize regime changes. Optional alerts fire on transitions.
For Who Is Best/Recommended Use Cases
This indicator is ideal for traders who employ trend-following or momentum-based strategies and need tools that perform well in non-normal market conditions, such as during high volatility or in assets prone to spikes. Use cases include identifying entry/exit points in trending environments, confirming breakouts, or integrating into multi-indicator systems for added confirmation. Quantitative traders or those backtesting strategies will appreciate its customizable parameters for optimization.
Settings and Default Settings
Source: The price data input for calculations, such as close, open, high, or low. Default: close.
DEMA Length: Controls the period for the DEMA smoothing; shorter values increase responsiveness but may add noise, longer ones provide more lag but smoother signals. Default: 25.
Robust Scaling Length: Defines the lookback period for the scaling statistics; affects how adaptive the normalization is to recent data distributions. Default: 40.
Upper Threshold: The level above which a long signal is triggered; higher values make signals rarer but potentially more reliable. Default: 0.5.
Lower Threshold: The level below which a short signal is triggered; lower values allow for more aggressive bearish detection. Default: 0.
Conclusion
The Robust Scaled DEMA offers an outlier-resistant alternative to traditional moving average indicators, empowering traders to navigate volatile markets. By blending exponential smoothing with statistical robustness, it provides actionable insights into trend shifts while minimizing false positives from extreme events..

TopBot [CHE] TopBot — Structure pivots with buffered acceptance and gradient trend visualization
Summary
TopBot detects swing structure from confirmed pivot highs and lows, derives support and resistance levels, and switches trend only after a buffered and accepted break. It renders labels for recent structure points, maintains dynamic support and resistance lines that freeze on contact, and colors candles using a gradient that reflects consecutive trend persistence. The gradient communicates strength without extra panels, while the buffered acceptance reduces fragile flips around key levels. Everything runs in the main chart for immediate context.
Motivation: Why this design?
Classical swing tools often flip on single-bar spikes and produce lines that extend forever without acknowledging when price invalidates them. This script addresses that by requiring a user-controlled buffer and a run of consecutive closes before changing trend, while also freezing lines once price interacts with them. The gradient color layer communicates regime persistence so users can quickly judge whether a move is maturing or just starting.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
Baseline reference: Simple pivot labeling and unbuffered break-of-structure tools.
Architecture differences:
Buffered level testing using ticks, percent, or ATR.
Acceptance logic that requires multiple consecutive closes.
Synchronized structure labeling with a single Top and Bottom within the active set.
Progressive support and resistance management that freezes lines on first contact.
Gradient candle and wick coloring driven by consecutive trend counts with windowed normalization and gamma control.
Practical effect: Fewer whipsaw flips, clearer status of active levels, and visual feedback about trend persistence without a secondary pane.
How it works (technical)
The script confirms swing points using left and right bar pivots, then forms a current structure window to classify each pivot as higher high, lower high, higher low, or lower low. Recent labels are trimmed to a user cap, and a postprocess step ensures one highest and one lowest label while preserving side information for the others. Support updates on higher low events, resistance on lower high events. Trend flips only after the close has moved beyond the active level by a chosen buffer and this condition holds for a chosen number of consecutive bars. Lines for new levels extend to the right and freeze once price touches them. A running count of consecutive trend bars produces a strength score, which is normalized over a rolling window, shaped by gamma, and mapped to user-defined dark and neon colors for both up and down regimes. Wick coloring uses `plotcandle`; fallback bar coloring uses `barcolor`. No higher-timeframe data is requested. Signals confirm only after the right-bar lookback of the pivot function.

Gamma Bars / Gamma Plots (defaults zero point seven and zero point eight): Shapes perceived contrast of bar and wick gradients. Lower values brighten early; higher values compress until stronger runs appear.
Gradient Transparency / Wick Transparency (default zero): Visual transparency for bodies and wicks.
Up/Down Trend Dark and Neon Colors: Endpoints for gradient mapping in each regime.
Acceptance closes (n) (default two): Number of consecutive closes beyond a level required before trend flips. Larger values reduce false breaks but react later.
Break buffer (None, Ticks, Percent, ATR; default ATR) and Value (default zero point five) and ATR Len (default fourteen): Defines the safety margin beyond the level. ATR mode adapts to volatility; Percent and Ticks are static.
Reading & Interpretation
Labels: “Top” and “Bottom” mark the most extreme points in the active set; “LT” and “HB” indicate side labels for lower top and higher bottom.
Lines: New support or resistance is drawn when structure confirms. A line freezes once price touches it, signaling that the dynamic phase ended.
Trend: Internal state switches to up or down only after buffered acceptance.
Colors: Brighter neon tones indicate stronger and more persistent runs; darker tones suggest early or weakening runs. When gradients are off, fallback bar colors indicate trend sign.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
Trend following: Wait for a buffered and accepted break through the most recent level, then use gradient intensity to stage entries or scale-ins.
Structure-first filtering: Trade only in the direction of the last accepted trend while price remains above support or below resistance.
Exits and stops: Consider exiting on loss of gradient intensity combined with a return through the most recent structure level.
Multi-asset / Multi-timeframe: Works on liquid symbols across common timeframes. Use larger pivot bars and higher acceptance on lower timeframes. No built-in higher-timeframe aggregation is used.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Repaint/confirmation: Pivot confirmation waits for the right bar window; trend acceptance is based on closes and can change during a live bar. Final signals stabilize on bar close.
security/HTF: Not used. No cross-timeframe data.
Resources: Arrays and loops are used for labels, lines, and structure search up to a capped historical span. Object counts are clamped by user input and platform limits.
Known limits: Delayed confirmation at sharp turns due to pivot windows; rapid gaps can jump over buffers; gradient scaling depends on the chosen collection period.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Start with the defaults: pivot windows at five, ATR buffer with value near one half, acceptance at two, collection period near one hundred, gamma near zero point seven to zero point eight.
Too many flips: increase acceptance, increase buffer value, or increase pivot windows.
Too sluggish: reduce acceptance, reduce buffer value, or reduce pivot windows.
Colors too flat: lower gamma or shorten the collection period.
Visual clutter: reduce the max labels and lines cap or disable wicks.

Contango/Backwardation Monitor
This is an indicator to display the spread difference between two products. I designed it around VX1! and VX2! but any other two products can be chosen. It is a simple subtraction of VX2-VX1. I will go through the options first and what they do followed by what contango/backwardation is in my own words. You will need the data package for VX futures for the default version to work.
INPUTS
-Apply Smoothing: choose to apply smoothing or not.
-Smoothing Method: choose between SMA,EMA,WMA, etc.
-Line Width: Width of line if line is chosen style(can be changed in style section)
-Threshold 1-5: This is the level at which the line will change colors(defaults are for VX)
-Color 1-5: The color the line will change to when crossing threshold.
Towards Backwardation: Background color change when line is slanted down
Towards Contango: Background color change when line is slanted up
Bars to Confirm Trend: This is my method to cut down on background color changes. It is how many bars consecutive going back needed to change color.
STYLE
-All colors and whatnot can be changed here(threshold colors can be changed here or on the input page).
T1 Line-T5 line: These are simple horizontal lines that can be used to denote threshold areas or whatever you want.
Contango/Backwardation-These terms are used mostly with futures to define the calendar spread between two contracts. Contango is when that spread is is getting longer and backwardation is when that spread is closing. In terms of VIX futures, Contango would imply that volatility is stabilizing and the S and P will likely gain. Backwardation, woudl eb the opposite.
The most simple way to read this indicator with default settings- If the line is up, red, and the background is red, then you can assume S and P prices are going down. And if the opposite is true, then prices are likely going up.
Please feel free to ask any questions and I will do my best to answer them.
RastaRasta — Educational Strategy (Pine v5)
Momentum · Smoothing · Trend Study
Overview
The Rasta Strategy is a visual and educational framework designed to help traders study momentum transitions using the interaction between a fast-reacting EMA line and a slower smoothed reference line.
It is not a signal generator or profit system; it’s a learning tool for understanding how smoothing, crossovers, and filters interact under different market conditions.
The script displays:
A primary EMA line (the fast reactive wave).
A Smoothed line (using your chosen smoothing method).
Optional fog zones between them for quick visual context.
Optional DNA rungs connecting both lines to illustrate volatility compression and expansion.
Optional EMA 8 / EMA 21 trend filter to observe higher-time-frame alignment.
Core Idea
The Rasta model focuses on wave interaction. When the fast EMA crosses above the smoothed line, it reflects a shift in short-term momentum relative to background trend pressure. Cross-unders suggest weakening or reversal.
Rather than treating this as a trading “signal,” use it to observe structure, study trend alignment, and test how smoothing type affects reaction speed.
Smoothing Types Explained
The script lets you experiment with multiple smoothing techniques:
Type Description Use Case
SMA (Simple Moving Average) Arithmetic mean of the last n values. Smooth and steady, but slower. Trend-following studies; filters noise on higher time frames.
EMA (Exponential Moving Average) Weights recent data more. Responds faster to new price action. Momentum or reactive strategies; quick shifts and reversals.
RMA (Relative Moving Average) Used internally by RSI; smooths exponentially but slower than EMA. Momentum confirmation; balanced response.
WMA (Weighted Moving Average) Linear weights emphasizing the most recent data strongly. Intraday scalping; crisp but potentially noisy.
None Disables smoothing; uses the EMA line alone. Raw comparison baseline.
Each smoothing method changes how early or late the strategy reacts:
Faster smoothing (EMA/WMA) = more responsive, good for scalping.
Slower smoothing (SMA/RMA) = more stable, good for trend following.
Modes of Study
🔹 Scalper Mode
Use short EMA lengths (e.g., 3–5) and fast smoothing (EMA or WMA).
Focus on 1 min – 15 min charts.
Watch how quick crossovers appear near local tops/bottoms.
Fog and rung compression reveal volatility contraction before bursts.
Goal: study short-term rhythm and liquidity pulses.
🔹 Momentum Mode
Use moderate EMA (5–9) and RMA smoothing.
Ideal for 1 H–4 H charts.
Observe how the fog color aligns with trend shifts.
EMA 8 / 21 filter can act as macro bias; “Enter” labels will appear only in its direction when enabled.
Goal: study sustained motion between pullbacks and acceleration waves.
🔹 Trend-Follower Mode
Use longer EMA (13–21) with SMA smoothing.
Great for daily/weekly charts.
Focus on periods where fog stays unbroken for long stretches — these illustrate clear trend dominance.
Watch rung spacing: tight clusters often precede consolidations; wide rungs signal expanding volatility.
Goal: visualize slow-motion trend transitions and filter whipsaw conditions.
Components
EMA Line (Red): Fast-reacting short-term direction.
Smoothed Line (Yellow): Reference trend baseline.
Fog Zone: Green when EMA > Smoothed (up-momentum), red when below.
DNA Rungs: Thin connectors showing volatility structure.
EMA 8 / 21 Filter (optional):
When enabled, the strategy will only allow Enter events if EMA 8 > EMA 21.
Use this to study higher-trend gating effects.
Educational Applications
Momentum Visualization: Observe how the fast EMA “breathes” around the smoothed baseline.
Trend Transitions: Compare different smoothing types to see how early or late reversals are detected.
Noise Filtering: Experiment with fog opacity and smoothing lengths to understand trade-off between responsiveness and stability.
Risk Concept Simulation: Includes a simple fixed stop-loss parameter (default 13%) for educational demonstrations of position management in the Strategy Tester.
How to Use
Add to Chart → “Strategy.”
Works on any timeframe and instrument.
Adjust Parameters:
Length: base EMA speed.
Smoothing Type: choose SMA, EMA, RMA, or WMA.
Smoothing Length: controls delay and smoothness.
EMA 8 / 21 Filter: toggles trend gating.
Fog & Rungs: visual study options only.
Study Behavior:
Use Strategy Tester → List of Trades for entry/exit context.
Observe how different smoothing types affect early vs. late “Enter” points.
Compare trend periods vs. ranging periods to evaluate efficiency.
Combine with External Tools:
Overlay RSI, MACD, or Volume for deeper correlation analysis.
Use replay mode to visualize crossovers in live sequence.
Interpreting the Labels
Enter: Marks where fast EMA crosses above the smoothed line (or when filter flips positive).
Exit: Marks where fast EMA crosses back below.
These are purely analytical markers — they do not represent trade advice.
Educational Value
The Rasta framework helps learners explore:
Reaction time differences between moving-average algorithms.
Impact of smoothing on signal clarity.
Interaction of local and global trends.
Visualization of volatility contraction (tight DNA rungs) and expansion (wide fog zones).
It’s a sandbox for studying price structure, not a promise of profit.

Multi Market Structure TrendOVERVIEW
Multi Market Structure Trend is a multi-layered market structure analyzer that detects trend shifts across five independent pivot-based structures . Each pivot uses a different lookback length, offering a comprehensive view of structural momentum from short-term to long-term.
The indicator visually displays the net trend direction using colored candlesticks and a dynamic gauge that tracks how many of the 5 market structure layers are currently bullish or bearish.
⯁ STRUCTURE TRACKING SYSTEM
The indicator tracks five separate market structure layers in parallel using pivot-based breakouts. Each one can be individually enabled or disabled.
Each structure works as follows:
A bullish MSB (Market Structure Break) occurs when price breaks above the most recent swing high.
A bearish MSB occurs when price breaks below the most recent swing low.
Structure breaks are plotted as horizontal lines and labeled with the number (1 to 5) corresponding to their pivot layer.
⯁ CANDLE COLOR GRADIENT SYSTEM
The indicator calculates the average directional bias from all enabled market structures to determine the current trend score.
Each structure contributes a score of +1 for bullish and -1 for bearish.
The total score ranges from -5 (all bearish) to +5 (all bullish) .
Candlesticks are colored using a smooth gradient:
Bright Green: Strong bullish trend (e.g., +5).
Orange: Neutral mixed trend (e.g., 0).
Red: Strong bearish trend (e.g., -5).
⯁ TREND GAUGE PANEL
Displayed at the middle-right side of the chart, the gauge shows the current trend strength in real time.
The bar consists of up to 10 gradient cells (5 up, 5 down).
Each active market structure pushes the score in one direction.
The central cell displays a numeric trend score:
+5 = All 5 market structures bullish
0 = Mixed/neutral trend
-5 = All 5 market structures bearish
Colors of the gauge bars match the candle gradient system.
⯁ USAGE
This indicator is highly effective for traders who want to:
Monitor short- and long-term structure shifts simultaneously on a single chart.
Use structure alignment as a trend confirmation tool — for example, waiting for at least 2 out of 5 structures to align before entering a trade.
Visually filter noise from different time horizons using the gauge and candle gradient.
Track CHoCH (Change of Character) transitions clearly and across multiple scales.
⯁ CONCLUSION
Multi Market Structure Trend offers a unique and powerful way to assess trend direction using stacked market structure logic. With five independently calculated structure layers, colored candle feedback, and a real-time trend gauge, traders can better time entries, filter noise, and confirm multi-timeframe alignment — all within a single chart overlay.
ES VIX on MNQ🧭 ES + VIX Overlay on MNQ
This indicator overlays the ES (S&P 500 futures) and VIX (Volatility Index) directly on the MNQ (Micro Nasdaq Futures) chart, allowing traders to visualize in real time the correlation, divergence, and volatility influence between the three instruments.
⸻
⚙️ How It Works
• The VIX is dynamically rescaled to the MNQ’s daily open, so its moves appear on the same price scale.
• The ES line is projected based on its percentage move relative to the session open (18:00 NY).
• Both are plotted in sync with MNQ to expose relative strength and divergence zones that often precede strong directional moves.
⸻
🧩 Inputs
• VIX Symbol: choose between VIX, CBOE:VIX, TVC:VIX
• Invert VIX Correlation: flips the VIX line for inverse-correlation setups
• VIX Step: controls how sensitively the VIX moves on the MNQ scale
• ES Symbol: defines the ES contract (e.g. ES1!)
• Show Signals: toggles on/off buy & sell markers
• Step (points): minimum distance between MNQ and VIX for a valid signal
• Block Signals: disables signals between 16:15 – 03:15 (illiquid hours)
⸻
💡 Signal Logic
The system tracks crossings between MNQ and the projected VIX line:
• Buy signal → when MNQ crosses above the VIX and expands upward by ≥ X points.
• Sell signal → when MNQ crosses below the VIX and expands downward by ≥ X points.
A time filter avoids noise during low-volume sessions.
⸻
📊 Visual Guide
• Cyan line = VIX on MNQ scale
• Orange line = ES on MNQ scale
• Labels on the right = current VIX / ES values
• BUY/SELL markers = potential volatility-based reversals
⸻
🚀 Practical Use
Perfect for traders who monitor:
• VIX–price divergence
• ES vs MNQ momentum confirmation
• Early volatility expansions before trend moves
⸻

“Volatility leads — price confirms.”
iFVG CE Break with alertHere’s a clear, user-friendly rundown of what the indicator does and how to tune it.
What it does
- Detects Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) in both directions:
- UP FVG (bearish imbalance) and DOWN FVG (bullish imbalance).
- Draws the CE (Consequence/Equilibrium) line for each FVG (default yellow, dotted).
- Entry arrows (iFVG): plots an arrow when the candle body breaks & closes across a stored CE, both up and down.
- Keeps a history of past CEs (per side) and will still signal even if the original FVG has been mitigated/filled
Signals & logic
- Body break rules:
- Up arrow: open <= CE and close > CE.
- Down arrow: open >= CE and close < CE.
- Multiple triggers per CE: each CE can fire up to 3 times (configurable).
- One arrow per bar per direction: if several CEs are crossed the same bar, you still get a single up and/or down arrow on that bar (cleaner chart).
- History window: checks the last N CEs per side (default 1 for early entry, range 1–10)
Top Finder & Dip Hunter [BackQuant]Top Finder & Dip Hunter
A practical tool to map where price is statistically most likely to exhaust or mean-revert. It builds objective support for dips and resistance for tops from multiple methodologies, then filters raw touches with volume, momentum, trend, and price-action context to surface higher-quality reversal opportunities.
What this does
Draws a Dip Support line and a Top Resistance line using the method you select, or a blended hybrid.
Evaluates each touch/penetration against Quality Filters and assigns a 0–100 composite score.
Prints clean DIP and TOP signals only when depth/extension and quality pass your thresholds.
Optionally annotates the chart with the computed quality score at signal time.
Why it’s useful
Objectivity: Converts vague “looks extended” into rules, reduces discretion creep.
Signal hygiene: Filters raw touches using trend, volume, momentum, and candle structure to avoid obvious traps.
Adaptable regimes: Switch methods, sensitivity, and lookbacks to match choppy vs trending conditions.
How support and resistance are built
Pick one per side, or use “Hybrid.”
Dynamic: Anchors to the extreme of a lookback window, padded by recent ATR, so buffers expand in volatile periods and contract when calm.
Fibonacci: Uses the 0.618/0.786 retracement pair inside the current swing window to target common reaction zones.
Volatility: Uses a moving-average basis with standard-deviation bands to capture statistically stretched moves.
Volume-Weighted: Centers off VWAP and penalizes deviations using dispersion of price around VWAP, helpful on intraday instruments.
Hybrid: A weighted average of the above to smooth out single-method biases.
When a touch becomes a signal
Depth/extension test:
Dips must penetrate their support by at least Min Dip Depth % .
Tops must extend above resistance by at least Min Top Rise % .
Quality Score gate: The composite must clear Min Quality Score . Components:
Trend alignment: Favor dips in bullish regimes and tops in bearish regimes using EMAs and RSI.
Volume confirmation: Reward expansion or spikes versus a 20-period baseline.
RSI context: Prefer oversold for dips, overbought for tops.
Momentum shift: Look for short-term momentum turning in the expected direction.
Candle structure: Reward hammer/shooting-star style responses at the level.
How to use it
Pick your regime:
Range/chop, small caps, mean-revert intraday → Volatility or Volume Weighted .
Cleaner swings/trends → Dynamic or Fibonacci .
Unsure or mixed conditions → Hybrid .
Set windows: Start with Lookback = 50 for both sides. Increase in higher timeframes or slow assets, decrease for fast scalps.
Tune sensitivity: Raise Dip/Top Sensitivity to widen buffers and reduce noise. Lower to be more aggressive.
Gate with quality: Begin with Min Quality Score = 60 . Push to 70–80 for cleaner swing entries, relax to 50–60 for scalps.
Act on first prints: The script only fires on new qualified events. Use the score label to prioritize A-setups.
Typical workflows
Intraday futures/crypto: Volume-Weighted or Volatility methods for both sides, higher Sensitivity , require Volume Filter and Momentum Filter on. Look for DIP during opening drive exhaustion and TOP near late-session fatigue.
Swing equities/FX: Dynamic or Fibonacci with moderate sensitivity. Keep Trend Filter on to only take dips above the 200-EMA and tops below it.
Countertrend scouts: Lower Min Dip Depth % / Min Top Rise % slightly, but raise Min Quality Score to compensate.
Reading the chart
Lines: “Dip Support” and “Top Resistance” are the current actionable rails, lightly smoothed to reduce flicker.
Signals: “DIP” prints below bars when a qualified dip appears, “TOP” prints above for qualified tops.
Scores: Optional labels show the composite at signal time. Favor higher numbers, especially when aligned with higher-timeframe trend.
Background hints: Light highlights mark raw touches meeting depth/extension, even if they fail quality. Treat these as early warnings.
Tuning tips
If you get too many false DIP signals in downtrends, raise Min Dip Depth % and keep Trend Filter on.
If tops appear late in squeezes, lower Top Sensitivity slightly or switch top side to Fibonacci .
On assets with erratic volume, prefer Volatility or Dynamic methods and down-weight the Volume Filter .
For strict systems, increase Min Quality Score and require both Volume and Momentum filters.
What this is not
It is not a blind reversal signal. It’s a structured context tool. Combine with your risk plan and higher-timeframe map.
It is not a guarantee of mean reversion. In strong trends, expect fewer, higher-score opportunities and respect invalidation quickly.
Suggested presets
Scalp preset: Lookback 30–40, Sensitivity 1.2–1.5, Quality ≥ 55, Volume & Momentum filters ON.
Swing preset: Lookback 75–100, Sensitivity 1.0–1.2, Quality ≥ 70, Trend & Volume filters ON.
Chop preset: Volatility/Volume-Weighted methods, Quality ≥ 60, Momentum filter ON, RSI emphasis.
Input quick reference
Dip/Top Method: Choose the model for each side or “Hybrid” to blend.
Lookback: Swing window the levels are built from.
Sensitivity: Scales volatility padding around levels.
Min Dip Depth % / Min Top Rise %: Minimum breach/extension to qualify.
Quality Filters: Trend, Volume, Momentum toggles, plus Min Quality Score gate.
Visuals: Colors and whether to print score labels.
Best practices
Map higher-timeframe trend first, then act on lower-timeframe DIP/TOP in the trend’s favor.
Use the score as triage. Skip mediocre prints into news or at session open unless score is exceptional.
Pre-define stop placement relative to the level you used. If a DIP fails, exit on loss of structure rather than waiting for the next print.
Bottom line: Top Finder & Dip Hunter codifies where reversals are most defensible and only flags the ones with supportive context. Tune the method and filters to your market, then let the score keep your playbook disciplined.
Liquidity + Order-Flow Exhaustion (Smart-Money Logic)Liquidity + Order-Flow Exhaustion (Smart-Money Logic) is a visual tool that helps traders recognize where big market participants (“smart money”) are likely accumulating or distributing positions.
It identifies liquidity sweeps (stop-hunts above or below previous swing levels) and market structure shifts (reversals confirmed by price closing back in the opposite direction).
In simple terms, it shows where price “tricks” retail traders into chasing breakouts — right before reversing.
How it works:
The script scans recent highs and lows to find when price breaks them and quickly rejects — a sign of stop-hunts or liquidity grabs.
It then checks for a close back inside the previous range to confirm a possible Market Structure Shift (MSS).
When this happens, the chart highlights the zone and optionally adds directional labels (🔹 or 🔸) to mark where the liquidity event occurred.
How to read the signals:
🟢 Bullish shift — Price takes out a previous low, then closes higher. This often marks the end of a short-term down-move.
🔴 Bearish shift — Price sweeps a previous high, then closes lower. This often marks the end of a short-term rally.
Colored backgrounds and labels help visualize these key reversals directly on the chart.
How to use it:
Apply to any timeframe; 15-minute to 4-hour charts work best.
Use it to confirm reversals near major swing points or liquidity zones.
Combine with volume spikes, displacement candles, or Fair-Value Gaps (FVGs) for stronger confirmation.
What makes it original:
Simple, self-contained logic inspired by Smart Money Concepts (SMC).
Automatically detects both liquidity sweeps and the subsequent structural shift.
Visual and alert-ready design — perfect for discretionary or algorithmic strategies.
Tip: For even better accuracy, align detected shifts with higher-timeframe bias or VWAP deviations.
Holographic Market Microstructure | AlphaNattHolographic Market Microstructure | AlphaNatt
A multidimensional, holographically-rendered framework designed to expose the invisible forces shaping every candle — liquidity voids, smart money footprints, order flow imbalances, and structural evolution — in real time.
---
📘 Overview
The Holographic Market Microstructure (HMS) is not a traditional indicator. It’s a visual architecture built to interpret the true anatomy of the market — a living data structure that fuses price, volume, and liquidity into one coherent holographic layer.
Instead of reacting to candles, HMS visualizes the market’s underlying micro-dynamics : where liquidity hides, where volume flows, and how structure morphs as smart money accumulates or distributes.
Designed for system-based traders, volume analysts, and liquidity theorists who demand to see the unseen — the invisible grid driving every price movement.

🔬 Core Analytical Modules
Microstructure Analysis
Deconstructs each bar’s internal composition to identify imbalance between aggressive buying and selling. Using a configurable Imbalance Ratio and Liquidity Threshold , the algorithm marks low-liquidity zones and price inefficiencies as “liquidity voids.”
• Detects hidden supply/demand gaps.
• Quantifies micro-level absorption and exhaustion.
• Reveals flow compression and expansion phases.
Smart Money Tracking
Applies advanced volume-rate-of-change and price momentum relationships to map institutional activity.
• Accumulation Zones – Where price rises on expanding volume.
• Distribution Zones – Where price declines on rising volume.
• Automatically visualized as glowing boxes, layered through time to simulate footprint persistence.
Fractal Structure Mapping
Reveals the recursive nature of price formation. HMS detects fractal highs/lows, then connects them into an evolving structure.
• Defines nested market structure across multiple scales.
• Maps trend progression and transition points.
• Renders with adaptive glow lines to reflect depth and strength.
Volume Heat Map
Transforms historical volume data into a 3D holographic heat projection.
• Each band represents a volume-weighted price level.
• Gradient brightness = relative participation intensity.
• Helps identify volume nodes, voids, and liquidity corridors.
HUD Display System
Real-time analytical dashboard summarizing the system’s internal metrics directly on the chart.
• Flow, Structure, Smart$, Liquidity, and Divergence — all live.
• Designed for both scalpers and swing traders to assess micro-context instantly.
---
🧠 Smart Money Intelligence Layer
The Smart Money Index dynamically evaluates the harmony (or conflict) between price momentum and volume acceleration. When institutions accumulate or distribute discreetly, volume surges ahead of price. HMS detects this divergence and overlays it as glowing smart money zones.
◈ ACCUM → Institutional absorption, early uptrend formation.
◈ DISTRIB → Distribution and top-heavy conditions.
○ IDLE → Neutral flow equilibrium.
Divergences between price and volume are signaled using holographic alerts ( ⚠ ALERT ) to highlight exhaustion or trap conditions — often precursors to structural reversals.
---
🌀 Fractal Market Structure Engine
The fractal subsystem recursively identifies local pivot symmetry, connecting micro-structural highs and lows into a holographic skeleton.
• Bullish Structure — Higher highs & higher lows align (▲ BULLISH).
• Bearish Structure — Lower highs & lower lows dominate (▼ BEARISH).
• Ranging — Fractal symmetry balance (◆ RANGING).
Each transition is visually represented through adaptive glow intensity, producing a living contour of market evolution .
---
🔥 Volume Heat Map Projection
The heatmap acts as a volumetric X-ray of the recent 100–300 bars. Each horizontal segment reflects liquidity density, rendered with gradient opacity from cold (inactive) to hot (highly active).
• Detects hidden accumulation shelves and distribution ridges.
• Identifies imbalanced liquidity corridors (voids).
• Reveals the invisible scaffolding of the order book.
When combined with smart money zones and structure lines, it creates a multi-layered holographic perspective — allowing traders to see liquidity clusters and their interaction with evolving structure in real time.

💎 Holographic Visual Engine
Every element of HMS is dynamically color-mapped to its visual theme . Each theme carries a distinct personality:
Aeon — Neon blue plasma aesthetic; futuristic and fluid.
Cyber — High-contrast digital energy; circuit-like clarity.
Quantum — Deep space gradients; reflective of non-linear flow.
Neural — Organic transitions; biological intelligence simulation.
Plasma — Vapor-bright gradients; high-energy reactive feedback.
Crystal — Minimalist, transparent geometry; pristine data visibility.
Optional Glow Effects and Pulse Animations create a living hologram that responds to real-time market conditions.

Higher Timeframe Candle LevelsThis is an indicator that shows higher time frame candle levels from various preset timeframes. These higher time frame candles act as support and resistance levels, so look for reversals and continuations off of these levels. When price exceeds the high or low of these levels, you should look for breakouts in the same direction and trade with the trend.
It includes candle levels for the following timeframes: 1 hour, 4 hour, 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 1 quarter and 1 year. The indicator also includes a trend candle coloring feature, trend strength scoring table, stop loss feature, line identification labels, alerts for trend changes, alerts for level touches and full customization of all options.
How To Trade With This Indicator
These higher timeframe candle levels will act as support and resistance levels, so look for price to react at any of the levels you have turned on and then look for potential bounce or reversal signs at those levels so you can trade those direction changes. Price outside of the higher timeframe candle highs and low typically signals a breakout as well, so look for price to continue after passing the highs or lows.
You can use the direction of the higher timeframe candles as your trend as well. Try to only trade in the direction of the trend of the higher timeframes to increase the likelihood of your trade going in your favor.
The highs and lows of daily and up levels are excellent levels to find quick reversal off of. Watch for price action to struggle to break through these levels and then trade the reversal. If price breaks through these levels easily, watch for price to retest the level and then continue beyond that level. Trade the retest in the direction of the trend.
The open, close and midline levels are excellent for trading bounces. Watch for price to form wicks beyond these levels and close on the other side and use that as a sign that price may bounce there. Use that with price action to confirm your trade and then take trades off of those level bounces.
Use the alerts for daily and up timeframe level touches across all of your favorite markets so that way you are always notified in real time when price is at a level that could provide a potential trading opportunity.
Higher Time Frame Candle Levels
The indicator shows the current candle open, previous open, previous high, previous low, previous close and previous candle body midline levels of each candle for each time frame. This helps you easily see what is going on with the higher time frame candles and read the price action from your lower time frame charts.
Each candle level will paint red if it was a down candle or green if it was an up candle, except the midlines and current candle open lines, those are a different color for easy differentiation. The line colors can be customized to your preferences in the settings and you can also toggle the candle body coloring on or off, as well as change the color of the candle body background.
Each timeframe can be adjusted to your preferences, allowing you to turn all of the levels on or off. You can also adjust how many previous candles show up on your chart so you can backtest it and see for yourself how accurate these levels are.
When adjusting the number of candles, you will get a notification if you have more than 500 lines turned on, so just turn down the number of levels for whatever timeframe you can’t see on your chart to lower that number below 500. The notification will go away once you are under 500 lines again. Each candle has 6 lines if all levels are turned on for that timeframe: open, current candle open, close, high, low and midline. The default settings keep you under 500 lines total, so just be aware of that limitation when adjusting those numbers and adjust the number of levels down on the timeframes that are not useful on the current chart bar.
You can also extend the levels right on any time frame from the daily levels and above. This is useful when price is breaking above or below all levels and you need to know if there are any other previous candle levels in the way as price moves away from the most recent higher time frame candles.
To understand the intraday trend of each higher time frame, look to see where price is at according to each higher time frame candle. If the price is above the midline of the candle, it is bullish. If the price is above the candle body it is more bullish. If the price is above the high, it is very bullish. If the price is below the midline of the candle, it is bearish. If the price is below the candle body it is more bearish. If the price is below the low, it is very bearish. Make sure you backtest this yourself and go through lots of historical data to get a feel for how price reacts to these levels and establishes the trend. Then use that trend information to your advantage and trade in the direction of the trend.
Since users are limited to a certain amount of historical bars based on which Tradingview plan you have, some longer timeframe levels won’t show up because the start of that candle is too far back in history. You will get a notification at the top of that chart if that happens. It will tell you to lower the display timeframe for that timeframe until that notification goes away, which means it was able to plot the most recent candle for that timeframe on your chart.
Trend Candle Coloring
The indicator includes a feature that paints the candles based on whether the current time frame candles are above or below the most recent midline, candle body or high & low of a higher time frame candle of your choice. This helps you see the overall trend of the higher timeframe so you can trade with the trend.
The candle coloring will have an up color, down color and neutral color which can all be customized to suit your preferences. If the current time frame candle close is above the setting you choose, it will show the up color. If the current time frame candle close is below the setting you choose, it will show the down color. If the current time frame candle close is equal to or in the middle of the setting you chose, it will show the neutral color.
So, for example if you set it to candle body, then it will show the up color if the current candle is above the top of the candle body, down color if it is below the bottom of the candle body and neutral color if it is inside the candle body. This helps you wait for price action to move beyond the inside of the previous higher time frame candle before taking a position when price is breaking out of that previous candle so you can trade the momentum of that move. The candle coloring is fully customizable, but make sure to turn off your candle coloring on other indicators and your chart settings for it to show up properly.
Trend Strength Scoring Table
The trend strength scoring table displays a table at the bottom of the screen(table position is customizable), showing a score for the trend strength of each higher time frame. If the current candle close is above the midline, its strength is 1. If the current candle close is above the midline, but below the top of the candle body, its strength is 2. If the current candle close is above the high, its strength is 3. The same goes for below the midline, bottom of the candle body and below the low, but the scores would be negative 1, 2 or 3 instead.
This trend strength table allows you to quickly identify the trend on each higher time frame so you can wait until the trend is the same across all time frames before placing a trade in the direction of the trend. It also shows a total score on the far right side that adds all of the current trend scores together to give you a total strength score. Try to only trade when that number is very high compared to how many time frames you have turned on. Each time frame can have up to a maximum score of 3 if bullish and -3 if bearish. Each time frame in the table can be turned on or off to suit your preferences.
Stop Loss Feature
There is also a stop loss feature that you can set to whatever time frame you choose and whatever direction you chose, such as long or short. It will follow the most recent higher time frame candle’s trend using one of the following settings: candle body, high & low or midline. Once a new higher time frame candle is created, the stop loss will update to the most recent candle’s levels so you can use these levels as a trailing stop loss to maximize your wins.
If you have it set to use the candle body and it is set to long mode, then the stop loss will use the previous higher time frame candle’s lowest candle body level. So if it was an up candle previously, it will use the open. If it was a down candle previously, it will use the close. The opposite is true for short positions.
The stop loss will start working once you turn it on in the settings and will update automatically as new higher time frame candles are formed. It also shows a line of where the stop loss was previously since it was turned on.
I recommend using the high & low setting, especially when the market starts trending.
Candle Level Identification Labels
There are labels for each level starting with the 4 hour time frame and above so you can easily tell what level of each candle you are looking at, even if the rest of the candle is not showing within the chart pane. You can customize the label coloring for up candles and down candles and midlines as well as adjust the number of bars that the labels are offset from the current bar so they are visible on your chart without overlapping the current price action or other indicator labels. Labels for each time frame can be turned on or off as needed. The 1 hour labels were not included because it clogs up the chart, but it has labels for all time frames from the 4 hour candles and up.
Alerts
The indicator includes alerts for when the trend has changed to the opposite direction. The trend change alert is based on your settings for the Trend Candle Coloring. Whatever settings you have the trend candle coloring set to, will be used to set up your alerts. The Trend Candle Coloring setting must be turned on as well when creating your alerts for it to work properly. Make sure to backtest your settings and then create your alerts.
It also has alerts for when price is touching an open or close, high or low, midline or any of those levels for each timeframe. This allows you to be notified when price touches one of these levels so you can check the chart and look for potential trade opportunities if price wants to bounce off of that level. To make it easy for you to get alerts on many different tickers, just use the alert for any level touch on whatever timeframes you want.
Other Indicators To Pair This With
Use this in combination with our Trend Strength Indicator so you can visually see the historic and current trend for all of these levels. You should also use our Breakout Scanner to find other markets with strong trends so you always know which market is trending the strongest and can trade those. Trend Strength Indicator, Higher Timeframe Candle Levels and the Breakout Scanner all use the same levels and calculate the trend scores the same way so they are designed to work together to help you quickly be able to read a chart and find what direction to trade in.
Inverse Fair Value Gaps (Wicks) v6 — Sticky + IFVG
This script identifies Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) and Inverse FVGs (IFVGs) using wicks (high/low) rather than candle bodies. It helps traders identify price gaps that could act as potential support/resistance or trigger reversals.
FVGs: Unfilled gaps in price caused by rapid price movement.
IFVGs: Occur when price breaks beyond a previous FVG, signaling potential continuation or reversal
X ATM Option Ladder FlowX ATM Option Ladder Flow is a specialized options-market visualization tool designed for intraday tracking of at-the-money (ATM) option volume flow in index ETFs such as QQQ and SPY.
The script dynamically identifies the ATM contract on every bar and plots real-time call-versus-put volume distributions and marker to represent if the volume corresponded with the price of the option going up or down.
By analyzing volume and direction data from multiple strikes within an ±8-point range, the indicator produces a real-time histogram that reflects how order flow evolves relative to the underlying price.
Complementary status tables display the active strike, ladder position, and warnings when the underlying moves outside the monitored range.
Core Features
Dynamic ATM selection – Each bar automatically maps to the option contract closest to the underlying’s price.
Bidirectional volume comparison – Visual separation of call and put volume, with “up” markers highlighting contracts trading above their prior close.
Multi-strike ladder analysis – Samples strikes ±8 points from the defined center to capture flow skew and momentum near the money.
Optimized data calls – Uses tuple requests to minimize request.security() load, enabling a deeper ladder within TradingView limits.
Session awareness – Restricts processing to the 9:30 AM – 4:15 PM ET option-trading window.
Status dashboard – Displays date, active strike, warning flags (“⚠︎ / •outside”), and ladder parameters directly on chart.
Use Case
The indicator is intended for intraday traders and options-flow analysts who want to visualize how short-term liquidity and sentiment migrate across the ATM region as the underlying moves. Typical applications include:
Monitoring real-time call/put volume balance to confirm directional momentum or detect absorption zones.
Identifying volatility clustering near the money—where hedging pressure or gamma concentration can influence underlying price stability.
Detecting when price exits the monitored ladder (⚠︎ / •outside), signaling a potential shift to a new dominant option band or requiring manual recentering.
Integrating option flow into broader futures or ETF bias models (e.g., NQ/ES alignment or QQQ/SPY flow confirmation).
Technical Notes
Static-center architecture ensures historical consistency: prior bars remain fixed even after re-centering.
Ladder depth is hard-coded to ±8, the maximum possible within TradingView’s security-call limits.
auto_nudge is enabled to smoothly align the selected lane with the active ATM without requiring user intervention.
Indicator is optimized for 1-minute to 5-minute charts; use overlay = false to preserve scale clarity.
Choch Pattern Levels WITH ALERTS [credit to: @BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
The Choch Pattern Levels WITH ALERTS indicator automatically detects Change of Character (CHoCH) shifts in market structure — crucial moments that often signal early trend reversals or major directional transitions. It plots the structural break level, visualizes the pattern zone with triangle overlays, and tracks delta volume to help traders assess the strength behind each move. Now, an additional feature of alerts have been included!
🔵 CONCEPTS
CHoCH Pattern: A bullish CHoCH forms when price breaks a previous swing high after a swing low, while a bearish CHoCH appears when price breaks a swing low after a prior swing high.
snapshot
Break Level Mapping: The indicator identifies the highest or lowest point between the pivot and the breakout, marking it with a clean horizontal level where price often reacts.
snapshot
Delta Volume Tracking: Net bullish or bearish volume is accumulated between the pivot and the breakout, revealing the momentum and conviction behind each CHoCH.
snapshot
Chart Clean-Up: If price later closes through the CHoCH level, the zone is automatically removed to maintain clarity and focus on active setups only.
🔵 FEATURES
Automatic CHoCH pattern detection using pivot-based logic.
Triangle shapes show structure break: pivot → breakout → internal high/low.
snapshot

Optional delta volume label with directional sign (+/−).
Green visuals for bullish CHoCHs, red for bearish.
Fully auto-cleaning invalidated levels to reduce clutter.
Clean organization of all lines, labels, and overlays.
User-defined Length input to adjust pivot sensitivity.
snapshot
NEW! - alert system inserted to Pinescript for either: any triangle forms or whether a bullish "green" triangle or bearish "red" triangle forms - providing real-time alerts for whenever timeframe chart you've selected while creating the alert.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Use CHoCH levels as early trend reversal zones or confirmation signals.
Treat bullish CHoCHs as support zones, bearish CHoCHs as resistance.
Look for high delta volume to validate the strength behind each CHoCH.
Combine with other BigBeluga tools like supply/demand, FVGs, or liquidity maps for confluence.
Adjust pivot Length based on your strategy — shorter for intraday, longer for swing trading.
🔵 CONCLUSION
Choch Pattern Levels WITH ALERTS highlights key structural breaks that can mark the start of new trends. By combining precise break detection with volume analytics and automatic cleanup, it provides actionable insights into the true intent behind price moves — giving traders a clean edge in spotting early reversals and key reaction zones with real-time alerts for precision to evaluate and enter markets.
