Zero-Lag ATR Trend [BackQuant]Zero-Lag ATR Trend
Overview
Zero-Lag ATR Trend is a volatility-adaptive trend-following overlay designed to identify directional market regimes with minimal delay while preserving structural clarity. The indicator combines a zero-lag moving average framework with a zero-lag volatility model to produce a trailing trend line that reacts quickly to meaningful price changes without becoming unstable or overly sensitive.
Unlike conventional ATR-based trend tools that rely on lagging averages and delayed volatility estimates, this indicator applies zero-lag logic to both the trend centerline and the volatility calculation. The result is a trend structure that aligns more closely with real-time price action while still maintaining the discipline required for trend continuation trading.
Core design philosophy
The core idea behind Zero-Lag ATR Trend is simple:
Reduce signal delay without sacrificing trend integrity.
Adapt dynamically to changing volatility regimes.
Provide a single, clean structure that defines trend direction, continuation, and invalidation.
Instead of stacking multiple indicators, the script builds a complete trend framework from two tightly integrated components: a zero-lag trend spine and a zero-lag ATR trailing mechanism.
Zero-lag trend spine
The trend spine is constructed using a zero-lag moving average (ZLMA). This is achieved by applying a corrective step to a traditional moving average, effectively compensating for smoothing delay.
Conceptually, the process works as follows:
A base moving average is calculated from the selected price source.
That moving average is then passed through a zero-lag correction.
The correction pulls the line closer to current price without introducing noise.
This produces a trend line that reacts faster than standard EMA, SMA, or HMA signals, particularly during early trend acceleration phases. Multiple moving-average types can be used inside the zero-lag framework, allowing traders to fine-tune responsiveness based on asset behavior and timeframe.
Zero-lag volatility model
Volatility is measured using True Range, but instead of applying classic ATR smoothing, the indicator uses a zero-lag smoothing pass on the True Range itself.
This approach offers several advantages:
Volatility expands more quickly during impulse moves.
Volatility contracts faster during consolidations.
Band width adjusts in near real-time to changing conditions.
The smoothed zero-lag ATR is multiplied by a user-defined factor to create adaptive upper and lower boundaries around the trend spine. These boundaries define how much counter-movement price is allowed before the trend structure is invalidated.
Volatility-aware trailing structure
The trailing output is the defining feature of the indicator. It behaves as a one-directional trailing structure:
In bullish conditions, the trailing line can only move upward.
In bearish conditions, the trailing line can only move downward.
Minor pullbacks inside the volatility envelope do not flip the trend.
This logic prevents the indicator from reacting to shallow retracements and focuses instead on structural trend changes. Because the trailing behavior is volatility-scaled, the indicator remains stable during high volatility while still responding promptly during regime shifts.
Trend flips and regime transitions
Trend direction is determined by changes in the trailing structure itself rather than raw price crosses. A trend flip occurs only when price movement is strong enough, relative to current volatility, to force the trailing line to reverse direction.
This means:
Bullish flips represent genuine transitions into upward regimes.
Bearish flips represent genuine transitions into downward regimes.
Sideways noise is largely filtered out.
As a result, the indicator is well suited for identifying medium-to-long trend phases rather than short-term oscillations.
Visual structure and chart clarity
The visual design is intentionally minimal and functional:
The main trailing line is color-coded by trend direction.
An optional ribbon or cloud reinforces directional bias.
Optional candle coloring aligns price bars with the active trend.
These elements allow traders to assess trend state instantly without interpreting multiple signals or overlays.
How to use for trend following
Trend bias
Maintain a bullish bias while price holds above the trailing line.
Maintain a bearish bias while price holds below the trailing line.
Entries
Trend flips can be used as initial directional entries.
Pullbacks toward the trailing line often act as continuation opportunities.
Momentum confirmation can be layered on top for additional confluence.
Trend management
The trailing line naturally functions as a dynamic stop reference.
As long as price respects the trailing structure, the trend remains valid.
A flip in direction signals a full regime transition rather than a minor correction.
Why zero-lag matters for trend trading
Traditional trend indicators often react late, especially during fast expansions, resulting in delayed entries and early exits. By reducing lag in both the trend calculation and the volatility model, Zero-Lag ATR Trend aims to capture a larger portion of directional moves while maintaining consistency and discipline.
This makes it particularly effective for momentum-based trend following, breakout continuation strategies, and traders who prioritize staying aligned with dominant market structure rather than predicting reversals.
Summary
Zero-Lag ATR Trend is a complete trend-following framework built around responsiveness, adaptability, and clarity. Its zero-lag architecture allows it to respond earlier to meaningful price changes, while its volatility-aware trailing logic ensures that trends are only invalidated when structure truly breaks. The result is a clean, intuitive tool that supports disciplined trend participation across assets and timeframes.

Order Blocks Volume Delta 3D | Flux ChartsGENERAL OVERVIEW:
Order Blocks Volume Delta 3D by Flux Charts is a rule-based order block and volume delta visualization tool. It detects bullish and bearish order blocks using a profile-of-price approach: the indicator finds the most actively traded price area (Point of Control, or POC) between a swing high/low and the Break of Structure (BOS), then anchors the order block to the earliest still-valid candle that traded through that POC band. From there, it tracks all candles that continue to interact with that zone and overlays both 2D and 3D volume delta views directly inside the order block.
Unlike traditional order block tools that simply use candle bodies or wicks, this indicator is volume-aware. It lets you optionally pull volume from a lower timeframe feed (for example, using 1-minute data while watching a 5-minute chart) to build a much more accurate picture of how buyers and sellers actually traded inside the zone. This makes every block not just a price box, but a volume story: which side dominated, where, and by how much.
All order blocks printed by this indicator are confirmed: BOS and retests are evaluated strictly on closed candles. Nothing is drawn or alerted on partially formed bars, which helps avoid repaint-style flicker and keeps the signals clean and stable.
What is the theory behind the indicator?:
The core idea behind Order Blocks Volume Delta 3D is that not all price levels inside an order block are equal. Some prices are barely touched, while others act like magnets where candles repeatedly trade and heavy volume passes through.
The indicator first finds a swing high or swing low, waits for a clear Break of Structure (BOS), then scans the candles between the swing point and the BOS to find the price level that was touched the most. That level is treated as the POC.
From all candles in the swing-to-BOS range that interact with this POC band, the indicator looks for the earliest candle that is not already mitigated and uses that as the anchor candle for the order block:
The top of the block equals the anchor candle’s high (for a bearish OB) or the top of its wick zone.
The bottom equals the anchor candle’s low (for a bullish OB) or the bottom of its wick zone.
This “earliest valid POC-touching candle” rule makes it easier to visualize how price and volume developed from the very start of a meaningful zone, while ignoring POC touches that are already fully mitigated by the time the structure is confirmed. On top of that, each candle is split into bullish and bearish volume. If you choose a lower timeframe volume input, the tool aggregates lower timeframe candles into your chart timeframe, giving a more granular bull-versus-bear breakdown for each bar. The result is
an order block that not only shows where price moved but also which side pushed it, how aggressively, and how that balance shifted over time.
ORDER BLOCKS VOLUME DELTA 3D FEATURES:
The Order Blocks Volume Delta 3D indicator includes 4 main features:
1. Order Blocks
2. Volume Delta
3. 3D Visualization
4. Alerts
ORDER BLOCKS:
🔹What is an Order Block
An order block is a price zone where a clear displacement move began after liquidity was taken. It usually forms around the last consolidation or cluster of candles before price breaks structure with a strong move.
In this indicator, order blocks are defined as structured zones that:
Begin at the earliest unmitigated candle that interacted with the most-touched price level (POC) between swing and BOS.
Extend through the full wick range of that anchor candle.
Stretch forward in time, tracking how price continues to trade through, respect, retest, or invalidate the zone.
Are only printed once the BOS is fully confirmed on closed candles (confirmed order blocks only).
Example of bullish and bearish order blocks anchored at the earliest unmitigated candle in the POC zone:
🔹How are Order Blocks detected
The indicator uses a step-by-step, rules-based process to detect bullish and bearish order blocks. The logic is designed to match discretionary Smart Money concepts but with strict, repeatable rules.
Step 1: Detect swing highs and swing lows
Swing High: a candle whose high is higher than the highs of surrounding candles.
Swing Low: a candle whose low is lower than the lows of surrounding candles.
The Swing Length input controls how many candles are checked to the left and right.
Example of swing high and swing low detection:
Step 2: Confirm Break of Structure (BOS)
Once a swing is confirmed, the indicator waits for price to break past that swing:
Bullish BOS: price closes above a previous swing high.
Bearish BOS: price closes below a previous swing low.
To avoid “live” flicker, BOS logic is evaluated based on the previous closed candle. The order block is only confirmed once the BOS candle has fully closed and the next bar has opened. This is one of the reasons the script only shows confirmed, non-repainting order blocks.
Example of bullish BOS and bearish BOS:
Step 3: Build the POC range between swing and BOS
Between the swing candle and the BOS candle, the indicator:
Scans all candles in that range.
Tracks every price level touched using binning (POC bins).
Counts how many times each price band was touched by candle wicks.
The bin with the highest touch count becomes the POC band. This is where price traded most often, not necessarily where volume was highest.
Example of the POC band between swing and BOS.
Step 4 – Anchor the order block to the earliest valid POC candle
From all candles in the swing-to-BOS range, the indicator finds the earliest candle whose high/low overlaps the POC band and whose zone is not already mitigated. That candle becomes the anchor candle for the order block:
For a bearish OB, the block spans the anchor candle’s full wick range, with its top at the high.
For a bullish OB, the block spans the anchor candle’s full wick range, with its bottom at the low.
By requiring the anchor to be the earliest unmitigated interaction with POC, the script avoids building blocks from price action that has already been fully traded through and is less relevant.
Step 5: Extend and manage the order block
Once created, the block:
Extends to the right by a configurable number of candles (Extend Zones).
Continues until it is invalidated by wick or close, depending on the chosen method.
Can show retest labels when price revisits the zone after creation.
Is included or excluded from display depending on the Show Nearest and Hide Invalidated Zones settings.
Example of active and invalidated OB.
🔹Order Block Settings
◇ Swing Length
Swing Length controls how sensitive swing highs and lows are.
Lower Swing Length: Swings form more frequently, which leads to more frequent BOS events and order block formations.
Higher Swing Length: Only larger, more meaningful swings are detected, which leads to less frequent BOS events and less order block formations.
◇ Invalidation
Invalidation determines how an order block is considered “mitigated” or no longer valid.
Wick: For bullish OBs, if price wicks completely through the bottom of the zone, the order block is invalidated. For bearish OBs, if price wicks completely through the top, the order block is invalidated.
Close: For bullish OBs, the block is invalidated only when a candle closes below the bottom. For bearish OBs, it is invalidated only when a candle closes above the top.
Example of wick invalidation:
Example of close invalidation:
◇ Show Nearest
Show Nearest limits how many active order blocks are displayed based on proximity to current price. For example, a value of 2 will display only the two nearest bullish order blocks and two nearest bearish order blocks.
Chart with Show Nearest set to 3:
◇ Extend Zones
Extend Zones define how many candles forward each order block should project beyond the right most candle on the chart.
Chart with Extend Zones set to 10:
◇ Retest Labels
When enabled, the indicator prints labels on every clean retest of an active order block, as long as that block remains valid. Key points:
A retest label is only printed once the retest candle has fully closed – you always see confirmed retests, not intrabar tests.
Retest labels are positioned on the actual retest candle so you can visually see which bar interacted with the zone.
In addition, if multiple retests occur in quick succession, the indicator applies a built-in three-candle buffer between retests. That means only the first valid retest within each three-bar window is labeled (and can trigger an alert), helping to reduce clutter while still highlighting meaningful interactions with the zone.
Example of retest labels on bullish and bearish order blocks.
◇ Hide Invalidated Zones
Hide Invalidated Zones controls whether mitigated/invalidated blocks stay drawn.
Enabled: Only currently valid, unmitigated order blocks are shown (subject to Show Nearest)
Disabled: Both active and invalidated order blocks are displayed.
VOLUME DELTA:
🔹What is Volume Delta
Volume delta measures the difference between buying and selling volume. Instead of only showing “how much volume traded”, it separates volume into bullish and bearish components.
In this indicator:
Bullish volume = volume from candles (or lower timeframe candles) that closed higher.
Bearish volume = volume from candles that closed lower.
Delta % shows how dominant one side was compared to the total.
Example of bullish and bearish order blocks with volume delta and total volume.
🔹How is Volume Delta calculated?
The indicator uses a flexible, timeframe-aware volume engine.
1. Choose a Volume Delta Timeframe.
If the selected timeframe is equal to or higher than the chart timeframe, the indicator simply uses chart-volume per candle.
If the selected timeframe is lower than the chart timeframe (for example, 1‑minute volume on a 5‑minute chart), the indicator pulls all lower timeframe candles for each chart bar and sums them.
2. Split each bar into bull and bear volume.
For each contributing candle:
If close > open → its volume is added to bullish volume.
If close < open → its volume is added to bearish volume.
If close == open → its volume is split evenly between bullish and bearish.
3. Aggregate for each order block.
For each order block:
The indicator loops once from the swing candle to the BOS candle.
It records every candle that touches the POC band.
For each touching candle, it adds its bull and bear volumes (either directly from chart candles or from aggregated lower timeframe candles).
Total volume = bullish volume + bearish volume
Delta % = (bullish volume or bearish volume / total volume ) * 100, depending on which side is dominant.
🔹Volume Delta Settings:
◇ Display Style
Display Style controls how the volume delta is drawn inside each order block:
Horizontal:
Bullish and bearish fills extend horizontally from left to right.
The filled strip sits along the base of the block, with a bull vs bear gradient.
Vertical:
Bullish and bearish fills stretch vertically inside the zone.
The bullish percentage controls how much of the block is filled with the “dominant” color.
Example of Horizontal display style.
Example of Vertical display style.
◇ Volume Delta Timeframe
Volume Delta Timeframe tells the indicator whether to use chart volume or lower timeframe volume. When set to a lower timeframe, the indicator aggregates all lower timeframe candles that fall inside each chart bar, splitting their volume into bullish and bearish components before summing.
Using a lower timeframe:
Increases precision for how volume truly behaved inside each bar.
Helps reveal hidden absorption and aggressive flows that a higher timeframe candle might hide.
Example of volume delta based on chart timeframe.
Example of volume delta based on lower timeframe than chart(same OB as above)
◇ Display Total Volume
When enabled, the indicator prints the total volume for each order block as a label positioned inside the zone, near the bottom-right corner. This total is the sum of bullish and bearish volume used in the delta calculation and gives you a quick sense of how “heavy” the trading was in that block compared to others.
Example of total volume label inside multiple order blocks.
◇ Show Delta %
Show Delta % draws a small text label on the strip of the block that displays the dominant side’s percentage. For example, a bullish block might show “72%” if 72% of all volume inside that POC band came from bullish volume.
Example of Delta %:
3D VISUALIZATION:
The 3D Visualization feature turns each order block into a 3D plot.
🔹What the 3D Visualization does:
Wraps the order block with side faces and a top face to create a 3D bar effect.
Uses delta percentages to tilt the top face toward the dominant side.
Projects blocks into the future using Extend Zones, making the 3D blocks visually stand out.
🔹How it works:
The front face of the OB shows the standard 2D zone.
The side face extends forward in time based on the 3D depth setting.
The top face is angled depending on the Display Style and bull vs bear delta, making strong bullish blocks “rise” and strong bearish blocks “sink”.
🔹How the 3D depth setting affects visuals
Lower 3D depth:
Shorter side faces.
Subtle 3D effect.
Higher 3D depth:
Longer side faces projecting further into the future.
Stronger 3D effect that visually highlights key zones.
Example of lower 3D depth:
Example of higher 3D depth:
ALERTS:
The indicator supports alert conditions through TradingView’s AnyAlert() engine, allowing you to set alerts for the following:
New Bullish Order Block formed
New Bearish Order Block formed
Bullish OB Retest
Bearish OB Retest
Important alert behavior:
Order block alerts only fire when a new block is confirmed (after BOS closes and the next bar opens).
Retest alerts only fire when a retest candle has completely finished, matching the behavior of the visual retest labels.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
3D faces for order blocks are built using polylines. In some situations, especially when an order block’s starting point (its left edge) is beyond the chart’s left-most visible bar, the top 3D face may appear slightly irregular, skewed, or incomplete. This is purely a drawing limitation related to how the chart engine handles off-screen polyline points. Once the starting point of that order block comes into view (by zooming out or scrolling back), the 3D top face corrects itself and the visual becomes fully consistent. This issue affects only the 3D top face drawing, not the actual order-block box itself. The underlying zone, prices, and volume calculations remain accurate at all times.
If all conditions are met to create a new order block but the resulting zone would overlap an existing active order block, the new block is intentionally not created. A built-in guard prevents overlapping active zones to keep the structure clean and easier to interpret.
3D face drawing is implemented using an adaptive polyline method, which can be relatively calculation-heavy on certain symbols, timeframes, or chart histories. In some cases this may lead to calculation timeout error from TradingView.
UNIQUENESS:
This indicator is unique because it:
Anchors each order block to the earliest unmitigated candle that traded through the most-touched POC band between swing and BOS, rather than a generic “last up/down candle” or a random volume spike.
Builds a dedicated volume engine that can pull either chart timeframe volume or aggregated lower timeframe volume, then splits it into bull and bear components.
Adds 3D visualization on top of standard zones, turning each OB into a visually weighted slab rather than a flat rectangle.
Provides clean toggles (Show Nearest, Hide Invalidated Zones, Extend Zones, Display Style, Delta %, and total volume labels) so you can dial the indicator from extremely minimal to fully detailed, depending on your trading workflow.
Combined, these features make the indicator not just an order block plotter, but a complete volume‑informed structure tool tailored for traders who want to see where price actually traded and whether bulls or bears truly controlled the move inside each order block.
Daily Floor PivotsDaily Floor Pivots with Comprehensive Statistical Analysis
Overview
This indicator combines traditional floor pivot levels with golden zone analysis and comprehensive statistical insights derived from 15 years of historical NQ futures data. While the pivot levels and golden zones can be applied to any instrument, the statistical tables are specifically calibrated for NQ/MNQ futures based on analysis of 2,482 NY Regular Trading Hours (RTH) sessions from 2010-2025.
What Makes This Indicator Original
Unlike standard pivot indicators that merely plot levels, this tool provides:
Enhanced Golden Zone Analysis: Calculates not only the main golden zone (0.5-0.618 retracement of previous day's range) but also golden zones between each pivot pair (PP-R1, R1-R2, R2-R3, PP-S1, S1-S2, S2-S3)
Data-Driven Statistical Tables: Two comprehensive tables displaying real statistics from 2,482 trading days of NQ analysis, including:
Probability-based touch rates and continuation patterns
Context-aware statistics based on opening position
Gap analysis and behavioral patterns
First touch dynamics and time-to-reach averages
Granular Customization: Every visual element and statistical section can be independently toggled, allowing traders to focus on what matters most to their strategy
How It Works
Pivot Calculation Methodology
The indicator uses the standard floor pivot formula based on the previous day's price action:
Pivot Point (PP) = (Previous High + Previous Low + Previous Close) / 3
Resistance Levels: R1, R2, R3 calculated from PP and previous range
Support Levels: S1, S2, S3 calculated from PP and previous range
Golden Zone Calculations
Main Golden Zone: The 0.5 to 0.618 Fibonacci retracement of the previous day's range, representing a key reversal and continuation area.
Inter-Pivot Golden Zones: For each adjacent pivot pair, golden zones are calculated as:
Resistance pairs (PP→R1, R1→R2, R2→R3): 0.5-0.618 range from the lower pivot
Support pairs (PP→S1, S1→S2, S2→S3): 0.382-0.5 range from the upper pivot
These zones represent high-probability areas where price tends to react when moving between pivot levels.
Statistical Analysis Source
All statistics displayed in the tables are derived from external Python analysis of 15 years of 1-minute NQ futures data (2010-2025), specifically analyzing NY RTH sessions (9:30 AM - 4:00 PM EST). The analysis tracked:
2,482 complete trading days
Intraday pivot touches and closes
Opening position context
Gap behavior relative to previous day
Time-of-day patterns
Sequential pivot interactions
IMPORTANT: While the pivot levels and golden zones are universally applicable mathematical calculations that work on any instrument, the statistical percentages shown in the tables are specific to NQ/MNQ behavior only. Do not assume these statistics transfer to other instruments.

Understanding the Statistical Tables
TABLE 1: OVERALL STATISTICS
This table presents universal statistics from 2,482 days of NQ analysis.
Current Session Info
Displays real-time context for the active session:
Open: Where the current RTH session opened relative to pivots (e.g., "GZ_TO_R1" means opened between the PP-R1 golden zone and R1)
Now: Current price position relative to pivots
Direction: Bull (close > open), Bear (close < open), or Flat
How to use: This section helps you quickly understand where price opened and where it currently is, providing immediate context for the day's action.
Touch & Close Rates
Shows probability that each pivot level will be reached during RTH:
Touch %: Percentage of days where price touched this level at any point
Example: R1 touched 38.9% of days, PP touched 57.5% of days
Close %: Percentage of days where price closed beyond this level
Example: R1 close beyond happened 39.8% of days
How to interpret:
Higher touch rates indicate more reliable levels for intraday targeting
The difference between touch and close rates shows rejection frequency
PP has the highest touch rate (57.5%), making it the most magnetic level
Outer levels (R3/S3) have low touch rates (5.1%/7.3%), indicating rare extension days
Continue & Reject Rates
When a level is touched, these statistics show what happens next:
Continue %: Probability price continues through the level
Example: When PP is touched, price continues 88.1% of the time
Reject %: Probability price rejects from the level and reverses
Example: When R1 is touched, price rejects 50.9% of the time
How to interpret:
PP shows highest continuation (88.1%), confirming it's a poor reversal level
Support levels (S1/S2/S3) show strong rejection rates (62.5%/60.7%/56.1%), making them better reversal candidates
Continuation rates above 80% suggest the level is better as a target than an entry
First Touch Statistics
Analyzes which pivot is typically touched first during RTH:
1st Touch %: Probability this level is the first pivot encountered
PP is first touched 37.1% of days (most common)
R1 is first touched 26.0% of days
S1 is first touched 10.9% of days
1st→Continue: If this level is touched first, probability of continuation
S1-S3 show 95.6%-100% continuation when touched first
This means when price reaches support first, it usually continues lower
Avg Time: Minutes after 9:30 AM EST before first touch
PP: 1h 6m average
S3: 19m average (when bearish)
R3: 3h 19m average (when bullish)
How to interpret:
Opening away from PP means higher probability of reaching extremes (R2/R3 or S2/S3)
When support is touched first (within first 2 hours), expect continuation lower
Late-day first touches (after 2 PM) often indicate strong trending days
Multi-Touch: Shows how often levels are tested multiple times (92.8%-95.0% across all levels)
Golden Zone Statistics
Main GZ: 58.5% touch rate for the 0.5-0.618 zone
Inter-Pivot zones:
PP-R1: 60.8% (highest probability)
PP-S1: 50.9%
R1-R2: 25.2%
S1-S2: 24.0%
R2-R3: 9.4%
S2-S3: 10.5%
How to interpret:
Main GZ is touched more often than any individual resistance level
PP-R1 and PP-S1 golden zones are high-probability mean reversion areas
Outer golden zones (R2-R3, S2-S3) are only relevant on high volatility days
Daily Close Distribution
Shows where RTH sessions typically close:
Above/Below PP: 58.5% close above, 41.5% below (slight bullish bias)
Above R1: 24.5% of days
Below S1: 18.7% of days
In GZ: Only 6.3% close in the golden zone (typically transits through it)
How to interpret:
Most days (58.5%) have bullish bias (close above PP)
Less than 25% of days are strong trending days (beyond R1/S1)
Golden zone is an action area, not a resting area
Highest/Lowest Levels Reached
Distribution of the most extreme level reached:
High Resist: R1 (26.0%), R2 (10.8%), R3 (5.1%)
Low Support: S1 (35.4%), S2 (1.9%), S3 (0.6%)
How to interpret:
Most days don't reach beyond R1 or S1
R3/S3 are rare events (5.1%/0.6%), indicating major trending days
S1 is reached as lowest level more often than R1 as highest, suggesting downside is more frequently tested
TABLE 2: CONTEXT STATISTICS
This table provides conditional statistics based on how the session opened.
Current Opening Zone
Displays which of 13 possible zones the RTH session opened in:
ABOVE_R3, R2_TO_R3, R1_TO_R2, GZ_TO_R1, IN_GZ, PP_TO_GZ, AT_PP, GZ_TO_PP, S1_TO_GZ, S2_TO_S1, S3_TO_S2, BELOW_S3
How to use: This immediately tells you the market structure and what type of day to expect.
Opening Zone Statistics
Detailed statistics for the current opening zone (only shows for 6 major zones):
For each zone, you see:
Occurs: How often this opening scenario happens
GZ_TO_R1: 38.4% (most common)
AT_PP: 12.8%
S1_TO_GZ: 24.2%
R1_TO_R2: 9.4%
S2_TO_S1: 6.3%
IN_GZ: 3.8%
Bull/Bear %: Close direction probability
Example: GZ_TO_R1 is perfectly balanced (50.0% bull / 49.6% bear)
R1_TO_R2 is bullish (58.1% bull / 41.0% bear)
Levels Hit: Probability of reaching each pivot level from this opening
Helps identify high-probability targets
Example: From GZ_TO_R1, PP is hit 52.9%, R1 is hit 49.0%, S1 is hit 21.6%
How to interpret:
GZ_TO_R1 (most common): Balanced day, watch PP and GZ for direction clues
AT_PP: Slight bullish bias (56.9%), high chance of touching both PP (92.8%) and GZ (90.3%)
R1_TO_R2: Bullish bias (58.1%), expect continuation to R2 (58.1% chance)
S2_TO_S1: Bullish reversal setup (59.9%), very high chance of S1 touch (82.8%)
IN_GZ: Rare opening (3.8%), bullish bias, virtually guaranteed GZ touch (100%)
Previous Day Gap Context
Shows current gap scenario and typical behavior:
Three scenarios:
GAP UP: Opened Above Yesterday's High (20.5% of days)
R1 Touch: 65.9% (high probability)
R2 Touch: 42.1%
S1 Touch: 15.0% (low probability)
Bias: Bullish continuation
GAP DOWN: Opened Below Yesterday's Low (11.3% of days)
S1 Touch: 71.5% (high probability)
S2 Touch: 55.2%
R1 Touch: 12.1% (low probability)
Bias: Bearish continuation
NO GAP: Opened Within Yesterday's Range (68.2% of days)
PP Touch: 69.5%
GZ Touch: 71.7%
R1 Touch: 35.2%
Bias: Balanced (watch for direction at PP/GZ)
How to interpret:
Gap days (up or down) tend to continue in the gap direction
When gapping, fade trades are low probability (15.0% and 12.1%)
Most days (68.2%) open within previous range, making PP and GZ critical decision zones
The "bias" line provides clear directional guidance for trade selection
Practical Application Examples
Example 1: Standard Day Setup
Scenario: RTH opens at 20,450
PP: 20,400
GZ: 20,390-20,395
R1: 20,425
Previous day high: 20,460
What the tables tell you:
Opening Zone: "GZ_TO_R1" (38.4% occurrence)
Gap Context: "NO GAP" (68.2% occurrence)
Expected behavior: Balanced (50/50 bull/bear)
High probability: PP touch (52.9%), GZ touch (56.8%)
Moderate probability: R1 touch (49.0%), S1 touch (21.6%)
Trade plan:
Wait for price to reach PP (52.9% chance) or GZ (56.8% chance)
Look for directional confirmation at these levels
First target R1 if bullish, S1 if bearish
Avoid assuming direction without confirmation (perfectly balanced opening)
Example 2: Gap Up Day
Scenario: RTH opens at 20,510
Previous day high: 20,460
R1: 20,425
R2: 20,475
What the tables tell you:
Gap Context: "GAP UP" (20.5% occurrence)
R1 touch: 65.9% probability
R2 touch: 42.1% probability
S1 touch: Only 15.0% probability
Bias: Bullish continuation
Trade plan:
Favor long setups
Target R1 first (65.9% chance), then R2 (42.1%)
If R1 breaks, R2 becomes likely target
Shorting is low probability (only 15.0% reach S1)
Example 3: Opening in Golden Zone
Scenario: RTH opens at 20,393
PP: 20,400
GZ: 20,390-20,395
What the tables tell you:
Opening Zone: "IN_GZ" (rare, only 3.8% occurrence)
Bullish bias: 58.1%
GZ touch: 100% (guaranteed - already there)
PP touch: 75.3%
R1 touch: 41.9%
Trade plan:
Expect price to test PP (75.3% chance)
Slight bullish bias suggests long setups better than shorts
Watch how price reacts at PP - likely to continue to R1 (41.9%)
This is an uncommon opening, suggesting potential for larger moves
Best Practices
Match Your Instrument: Remember, statistics are NQ-specific. If trading other instruments, use the levels but disregard the statistical percentages.
Combine with Price Action: Use the statistics for probability context, not as standalone signals. Always confirm with price action, volume, and your trading methodology.
Adapt Table Display: Don't display all sections all the time. Toggle based on your trading phase:
Pre-market: Focus on "Gap Context" to understand the setup
Market open: Watch "Opening Zone Statistics" for directional bias
Intraday: Monitor "Current Session Info" for position tracking
Understand Context: A 60% touch rate doesn't mean guaranteed—it means 40% of days don't touch. Use these probabilities to size positions and manage expectations.
Inter-Pivot Golden Zones: These are most useful when price is already in motion toward a level. For example, if price breaks above PP heading to R1, the PP-R1 golden zone (60.8% touch rate) becomes a high-probability pullback area.
Time Awareness: The "Avg Time" statistics help you understand urgency. If it's 10:30 AM and S1 hasn't been touched (average is 55 minutes), the window for bearish moves is closing.

Volatility Trend Score [BackQuant]Volatility Trend Score
Overview
Volatility Trend Score is a trend-strength and regime-evaluation indicator built to measure directional persistence, not just direction. Most trend tools answer “up or down” using slope, crossovers, or a single condition. This indicator answers a more useful question for real trading: “How consistently is trend structure holding up once volatility is accounted for?”
It does this by building a volatility-scaled trailing structure (ATR-based) and then scoring how that structure evolves over a configurable lookback range. The output is a continuous score that rises when trend is persistent and decays when price action becomes noisy, mean-reverting, or unstable.
What it is measuring (the real goal)
This indicator is not trying to predict reversals. It is trying to quantify whether the market is behaving like a trend market or a chop market. It focuses on:
Persistence: does structure keep pushing in one direction bar after bar?
Stability: are pullbacks being absorbed without breaking the trailing structure?
Regime: is the market trending strongly enough to justify directional bias?
If you already have entries from other systems, this becomes a high-quality trend filter and trade management layer.
Core idea
At its foundation, the indicator combines two parts:
A volatility-adjusted trailing level derived from ATR and a user-defined factor.
A rolling persistence score that compares the current trail to prior trail values over a configurable loop window.
The trailing structure adapts to volatility and enforces one-sided movement, while the scoring logic converts that behavior into a numeric measure of trend quality.
Inputs and what they actually control
Average True Range Period (calc_p)
Defines the ATR window used to estimate volatility. A higher value smooths the volatility estimate and makes the trailing structure less reactive.
Factor (atr_factor)
Scales the ATR band size. Higher values widen the trailing band, filtering more noise, reducing flip frequency, and generally producing slower but more stable regimes.
For Loop Start/End (start/end)
Defines the comparison window used to build the score. It effectively sets how many historical trail values the current trail is compared against.
Shorter ranges produce a faster, more responsive score.
Longer ranges produce a slower, more “confidence-based” score that only climbs when trend persistence is sustained.
Long/Short Thresholds (thresL/thresS)
Convert a continuous score into regime thresholds.
Long threshold is a “trend quality requirement” for bullish bias.
Short threshold is used as a deterioration / breakdown trigger via crossunder logic.
Volatility-adjusted trailing structure
The trailing line is built from ATR bands around price:
up = close + ATR * factor
dn = close - ATR * factor
Then a trailing value is maintained with one-sided ratcheting behavior:
If dn rises above the previous trail, the trail steps up (ratchets upward).
If up drops below the previous trail, the trail steps down (ratchets downward).
This “ratchet” behavior is important. It prevents the trail from oscillating with small countertrend moves, forcing the trail to represent meaningful structure rather than micro-noise. On-chart, this trail often behaves like dynamic support/resistance in trends.
Why the trail is a better base than raw price
Price itself is noisy, and volatility changes the meaning of “big move” vs “small move.” By anchoring structure to ATR:
A move is interpreted relative to current volatility, not in absolute points.
High-volatility chop is less likely to be misread as a trend.
Trend structure is normalized across assets and timeframes more reliably.
This is why the score remains usable even when switching from low-vol assets to high-vol crypto pairs.
Trend scoring logic
The score is built by repeatedly comparing the current trailing value to trailing values from prior bars across a loop window:
If current trail > trail , add +1
If current trail < trail , add -1
This is a persistence test, not a momentum calculation. In a strong trend, the trail should generally keep stepping in the trend direction, so current values will be greater than many past values (bullish) or lower than many past values (bearish). In chop, the trail fails to progress meaningfully, so the score compresses, oscillates, or bleeds out.
How to interpret the score
Think of the score as a “trend conviction meter”:
High positive values: bullish persistence, structure is advancing consistently.
Low positive values: bullish bias may exist, but trend quality is weak or unstable.
Near zero: indecision, range behavior, or frequent structure challenges.
Negative values: bearish dominance or sustained deterioration in structure.
The speed of score change matters too:
Fast expansion suggests a fresh regime gaining traction.
Slow grind suggests mature trend continuation.
Rapid compression often signals consolidation, exhaustion, or a transition phase.
Signals and regime transitions
This script uses two different styles of conditions (important detail):
Long condition: score > long threshold (state-based, persistent while true).
Short condition: crossunder(score, short threshold) (event-based trigger).
That means:
Long bias can remain active as long as score stays above the long threshold.
Short regime flips are triggered at the moment the score breaks down through the short threshold.
On the chart, long/short shapes are only plotted when the regime flips (first bar of the change), not on every bar, using:
Long shape when signal becomes 1 and previous signal was -1
Short shape when signal becomes -1 and previous signal was 1
This keeps signals clean and avoids spam, making it usable for alerts and regime tagging.
Visual presentation
The indicator is designed to work both as a panel oscillator and as an on-chart overlay:
Score plot (oscillator): color reflects active regime state.
Optional trail on price: volatility-scaled structure line on chart.
Optional threshold reference lines: clear regime boundaries.
Optional candle coloring: makes regime obvious without reading the panel.
Optional background shading: useful for quick scanning and backtesting visually.
You can use only the score, only the trail, or both together depending on your workflow.
Practical use cases
1) Trend filter for systems
Use the score as a regime gate:
Allow long entries only when score is above the long threshold.
Avoid longs when score compresses toward zero or loses the threshold.
Treat the short threshold break as “trend is no longer healthy.”
This often improves system expectancy by reducing exposure during low-conviction conditions.
2) Trend quality grading
Instead of treating all uptrends as equal:
Higher score = higher persistence, better continuation odds.
Score plateau = trend losing pressure, continuation becomes less reliable.
Score decay while price rises = trend is getting weaker under the hood.
This is useful for position sizing or deciding whether to add to winners.
3) Trade management and exits
Two complementary tools exist here:
Trail line can act as a dynamic stop reference or structure invalidation level.
Score behavior can be used to scale out when persistence fades (before a full flip).
Many traders use the trail for “hard structure” and the score for “soft deterioration.”
4) Breakout confirmation vs fakeouts
A breakout that immediately fails to build score is often low quality.
Healthy breakouts usually come with score expansion as structure advances.
Fakeouts often revert quickly, score fails to climb, and regime stays unstable.
Tuning guidelines
These are general behaviors you can expect when adjusting settings:
Higher ATR period and factor: slower regimes, fewer flips, cleaner structure.
Lower ATR period and factor: faster reaction, more sensitivity, more noise risk.
Longer loop range: score becomes more “confidence-based,” slower to change.
Shorter loop range: score becomes more “tactical,” faster but more jittery.
A good way to tune is to pick the trail behavior first (ATR period and factor), then tune the score window (loop) to match how quickly you want “trend conviction” to build.
Market behavior focus
Volatility Trend Score is most valuable in markets where volatility shifts frequently and fake trends are common, especially crypto. It is designed to:
Stay out of low-quality chop where most indicators whipsaw.
Quantify when volatility is being expressed directionally (constructive trend).
Provide a clean regime framework for filtering, alignment, and management.
Summary
Volatility Trend Score converts volatility-adjusted structure into a quantified measure of trend persistence. By combining an ATR-based trailing mechanism with a rolling comparison score, it provides a more reliable read on trend quality than single-condition indicators. It is best used as a regime filter, a trend strength gauge, and a trade management layer, helping you stay aligned with strong directional phases while avoiding low-conviction envir
RSI Trend Authority [JOAT]RSI Trend Authority - VAR-RSI with OTT Trend Detection System
Introduction
RSI Trend Authority is an open-source overlay indicator that combines Variable Index Dynamic Average (VAR) smoothed RSI with the Optimized Trend Tracker (OTT) to create a complete trend detection and signal generation system. Unlike traditional RSI which oscillates in a separate pane, this indicator scales the RSI to price and overlays it directly on your chart, making trend analysis more intuitive.
The indicator generates clear BUY and SELL signals when the smoothed RSI crosses the OTT trailing stop line, providing actionable entry points with trend confirmation.
Originality and Purpose
This indicator is NOT a simple mashup of RSI and moving averages. It is an original implementation that transforms RSI into a trend-following overlay system:
Why VAR Smoothing? Traditional RSI is noisy and produces many false signals. The Variable Index Dynamic Average (VAR) is an adaptive smoothing algorithm based on the Chande Momentum Oscillator principle. It adjusts its smoothing factor based on market conditions - responding quickly during trends and smoothing out during choppy markets. This creates an RSI that filters noise while preserving genuine momentum shifts.
Why OTT Trailing Stop? The Optimized Trend Tracker (OTT) is a percentage-based trailing stop mechanism that only moves in the direction of the trend. When VAR-RSI crosses above OTT, a bullish trend is confirmed; when it crosses below, a bearish trend is confirmed. This provides clear, actionable signals rather than subjective interpretation.
Price Scaling Innovation: By scaling RSI (0-100) to price using the formula (RSI * close / 50), the indicator overlays directly on the price chart. This allows traders to see how momentum relates to actual price levels, making trend analysis more intuitive than a separate oscillator pane.
ATR Boundaries: Optional volatility-based boundaries show when price is extended relative to its normal range, helping identify potential reversal zones.
How the components work together:
VAR smoothing removes RSI noise while preserving trend information
OTT provides a dynamic trailing stop that generates clear crossover signals
Price scaling allows direct overlay on the chart for intuitive analysis
ATR boundaries add volatility context for profit target estimation
Core Components
1. VAR-RSI (Variable Index Dynamic Average RSI)
The foundation of this indicator is the VAR smoothing algorithm applied to RSI. VAR is an adaptive moving average that adjusts its smoothing factor based on the Chande Momentum Oscillator principle:
f_var_calc(float data, int length) =>
int a = 9
float b = data > nz(data ) ? data - nz(data ) : 0.0
float c = data < nz(data ) ? nz(data ) - data : 0.0
float d = math.sum(b, a)
float e = math.sum(c, a)
float f = nz((d - e) / (d + e))
float g = math.abs(f)
float h = 2.0 / (length + 1)
float x = ta.sma(data, length)
This creates an RSI that:
Responds quickly during trending conditions
Smooths out during choppy, sideways markets
Reduces false signals compared to raw RSI
2. OTT (Optimized Trend Tracker)
The OTT acts as a dynamic trailing stop that follows the VAR-RSI:
In uptrends, OTT trails below the VAR-RSI line
In downtrends, OTT trails above the VAR-RSI line
The OTT Percent parameter controls how closely it follows
When VAR-RSI crosses above OTT, a bullish trend is confirmed. When VAR-RSI crosses below OTT, a bearish trend is confirmed.
3. Price Scaling
The RSI (0-100 scale) is converted to price scale using:
float scaleFactor = close / 50.0
float varRSIScaled = varRSI * scaleFactor
This allows the indicator to overlay directly on price, showing how momentum relates to actual price levels.
Visual Components

Parameter Optimization
For Faster Signals:
Decrease RSI Length (try 50-80)
Decrease VAR Length (try 30-40)
Decrease OTT Period (try 15-25)
For Smoother Signals:
Increase RSI Length (try 120-150)
Increase VAR Length (try 60-80)
Increase OTT Period (try 40-50)
For Tighter Stops:
Decrease OTT Percent (try 0.1-0.15)
For Wider Stops:
Increase OTT Percent (try 0.3-0.5)
Alert Conditions
Three alert conditions are available:
Buy Signal: VAR-RSI crosses above OTT
Sell Signal: VAR-RSI crosses below OTT
Trend Change: OTT direction changes
Understanding the OTT Calculation
The OTT uses a percentage-based trailing mechanism:
float farkOTT = mavgOTT * ottPercent * 0.01
float longStopCalc = mavgOTT - farkOTT
float shortStopCalc = mavgOTT + farkOTT
longStop := mavgOTT > nz(longStop ) ? math.max(longStopCalc, nz(longStop )) : longStopCalc
shortStop := mavgOTT < nz(shortStop ) ? math.min(shortStopCalc, nz(shortStop )) : shortStopCalc
This ensures the trailing stop only moves in the direction of the trend, never against it.
Best Practices
Use on 1H timeframe or higher for more reliable signals
Wait for signal confirmation before entering trades
Consider RSI State when evaluating signal quality
Use ATR boundaries for profit target estimation
The longer RSI length (100) provides smoother trend detection
Combine with support/resistance analysis for better entries
Limitations
Signals may lag during rapid price movements due to smoothing
Works best in trending markets; may whipsaw in ranges
The overlay nature means RSI values are scaled, not absolute
Default parameters are optimized for crypto and forex; adjust for other markets
Technical Notes
This indicator is written in Pine Script v6 and uses:
VAR (Variable Index Dynamic Average) for adaptive smoothing
OTT (Optimized Trend Tracker) for trailing stop calculation
ATR for volatility-based boundaries
Gradient coloring for intuitive trend visualization

CISD Projections [LuxAlgo]The CISD Projections tool automatically plots mechanical price projection targets based on fractal market structure and swing manipulation legs. These projections offer dynamic, statistically informed targets that align with how prices tend to expand after a reversal point is confirmed.
🔶 USAGE
Projections are mechanical target levels derived from the manipulation leg following a confirmed change in state of delivery (CISD). They estimate where price is most likely to travel next by applying extended Fibonacci projection levels off the swing that initiated the move.
The tool works in the following way:
1. Detect the reversal bar that signals a shift in delivery.
2. Identify the manipulation leg: the swing that caused the reversal.
3. Anchor projections from this leg using customized Fibonacci levels such as 1, 2, 2.5, 4, 4.5 — each representing a potential target based on leg size and market expansion expectation.
For a correct target interpretation:
Average-sized legs often target between 2 and 2.5 levels.
Expanding legs may reach 4 to 4.5.
Large manipulation legs may warrant conservative expectations, focusing on 1 target.
As we can see in the image, traders must be aware of current market conditions and manipulation leg size in order to decide which levels to target and ask the right questions: Is volatility contracting or expanding? Is this manipulation leg smaller or larger than the previous ones?
Ultimately, projections provide objective, mechanical targets rather than subjective guesswork. They can be used on their own or in conjunction with liquidity zones, CISDs, and structural levels. They also help identify realistic price targets based on measured swing magnitude.
🔹 Filtering Setups
The chart shows how the output is affected by different filtering options:
Bars Threshold: show setups with a minimum number of bars in the manipulation leg.
CISD Filter: show setups only at the top or bottom of the range for the last X bars.
Invalidate CISDs on CHoCH: setups stop expanding after the first close beyond the manipulation leg.
We can obtain more meaningful setups with larger filter values by filtering the setups, or we can zoom in on details at the trader's discretion by disabling all filters.
🔶 SETTINGS
Bars Threshold: Minimum number of bars of each setup.
CISD Filter: Enable or disable the filter and select the length. This filter identifies setups at the top or bottom of the range over the last X bars.
Invalidate CISDs on CHoCH: Stop the level extension on ChoCH against CISD. This occurs when there is a close below the bottom on bullish setups and a close above the top on bearish setups.
🔹 Projections
Enable or disable each projection, select the projection level, and choose a style.
🔹 Style
CISD Level: Enable or disable CISD price level and select style.
Labels size: Select the size of the labels.
Bullish Color: Select a color for bullish setups.
Bearish Color: Select a color for bearish setups.
Background Fill: Enable or disable the background fill between the price and the extreme projection.
Lakshmi - Low Volatility Range Breakout (LVRB)⚡️ Overview
The Low Volatility Range Breakout (LVRB) indicator is designed to identify consolidation phases characterized by suppressed volatility and generate actionable signals when price breaks out of these ranges. The underlying premise is rooted in the market principle that periods of low volatility often precede significant directional moves—volatility contraction leads to expansion.
Important Note on Optimization: The default parameter settings of this indicator have been specifically optimized for BTCUSDT on the 2-hour (2H) timeframe. While the indicator can be applied to other instruments and timeframes, users are encouraged to adjust the parameters accordingly to suit different trading conditions and asset characteristics.
This indicator automates the detection of "quiet" accumulation/distribution zones and provides clear visual cues and alerts when a breakout occurs.
⚡️ How to Use
1. Add the indicator to your chart. Default settings are optimized for BTCUSDT 2H.
2. Wait for a gray box to appear—this indicates a qualified low-volatility range is forming.
3. Monitor for breakout signals:
• LONG (green triangle below bar): Price broke above the range. Consider entering a long position.
• SHORT (red triangle above bar): Price broke below the range. Consider entering a short position.
4. Set alerts using "LVRB LONG" or "LVRB SHORT" to receive notifications on confirmed breakouts.
5. Adjust parameters as needed for different instruments or timeframes.
Tip: Combine with volume analysis or trend filters for higher-probability setups.
⚡️ How It Works
1. Low Volatility Bar Detection
A bar is classified as "low volatility" when it meets the following criteria:
• True Range (TR) is at or below the average TR (Simple Moving Average) multiplied by a user-defined threshold.
• (Optional) Candle Body is at or below the average body size multiplied by a separate threshold.
This dual-filter approach helps isolate bars that exhibit genuine compression in both range and directional commitment.
2. Range Box Formation
When consecutive low-volatility bars are detected, the indicator begins constructing a consolidation box:
• The box expands to encompass the high and low of qualifying bars.
• A minimum number of bars and a minimum fraction of low-volatility bars are required for the box to become "qualified" (active).
• A configurable tolerance allows for a limited number of consecutive non-low-vol bars within the sequence, accommodating minor noise without invalidating the range.
• If the box height exceeds a maximum threshold (defined as a multiple of the base ATR at sequence start), the range is invalidated.
3. Breakout Detection
Once a qualified range is established, the indicator monitors for breakouts:
• Wick Mode: Requires both a wick pierce beyond the range boundary AND a close outside the range.
• Close Mode: Requires only a close beyond the range boundary.
• (Optional) Breakout Body Filter: The breakout candle's body must exceed a multiple of the average body size at range formation.
• (Optional) Candle Direction Filter: Bullish breakouts require a green candle; bearish breakouts require a red candle.
Signals are displayed in real-time and confirmed upon bar close.
⚡️ Inputs & Parameters
• Volatility Window: Lookback period for calculating average TR and average body size.
• TR Multiplier: A bar's TR must be ≤ avgTR × this value to qualify as low-vol.
• Body Multiplier: A bar's body must be ≤ avgBody × this value (if body filter is enabled).
• Use Body Filter: Toggle the body size filter on/off.
• Min Bars in Box: Minimum number of bars required for a range to become qualified.
• Min Low-Vol Fraction: Minimum proportion of bars in the sequence that must be low-vol.
• Allowed Consecutive Non-Low-Vol Bars: Tolerance for consecutive bars that do not meet low-vol criteria.
• Max Box Height: Maximum allowed range height as a multiple of the base ATR.
• Breakout Mode: Choose between "Wick" (pierce + close) or "Close" (close only).
• Breakout Body Multiplier: Require breakout candle body ≥ avgBody × this value (1.0 = OFF).
• Require Candle Direction: Enforce green candle for LONG, red candle for SHORT.
⚡️ Visual Features
• Consolidation Boxes: Displayed in neutral (gray) color during formation. Upon a confirmed breakout, the box is colored green for bullish breakouts or red for bearish breakouts.
• Breakout Signals:
• LONG: Green upward triangle displayed below the price bar with "LONG" label.
• SHORT: Red downward triangle displayed above the price bar with "SHORT" label.
• Range Levels: Optional horizontal plots for the active range's high and low.
• Invalidated Boxes: Optionally retained in neutral (gray) color or deleted from the chart.
• Full Customization: Colors, transparency, and border width are all adjustable.
⚡️ Alerts
Two alert conditions are available:
• LVRB LONG: Triggered on a confirmed bullish breakout (bar close).
• LVRB SHORT: Triggered on a confirmed bearish breakout (bar close).
⚡️ Use Cases
• Breakout Trading: Enter positions when price escapes a well-defined low-volatility range.
• Volatility Expansion Plays: Anticipate increased volatility following periods of compression.
• Filtering Choppy Markets: Avoid trading during extended consolidation; wait for confirmed breakouts.
• Multi-Timeframe Analysis: Use on higher timeframes to identify major consolidation zones.
⚡️ Notes
• Best used in conjunction with volume analysis, trend context, or support/resistance levels for confirmation.
• Performance varies across instruments and timeframes; backtesting and parameter optimization are recommended.

How It Works:-
Momentum Detection Engine: The script continuously monitors price action, tracking each bullish and bearish leg. It maintains arrays of opens, closes, and counts to build a comprehensive picture of market structure.
Pattern Recognition: When price breaks key levels (minimum/maximum of recent candles based on sensitivity), the indicator recognizes a potential momentum shift.
Statistical Validation: The script compares the current pattern against its historical database to calculate the probability of momentum continuation.
Signal Generation: When a valid trend change is detected (and passes the position filter if enabled), entry signals are displayed with corresponding exit zones.
Best Use Cases:
Swing trading on any timeframe (works on 1m to 1D charts)
Trend reversal identification
Momentum trading strategies
Works on all markets: Forex, Stocks, Crypto, Indices, Commodities etc
Recommended Settings:
Scalping/Day Trading: Sensitivity 2-3, Historical Depth 10,000-20,000
Swing Trading: Sensitivity 3-4, Historical Depth 20,000-30,000
Position Trading: Sensitivity 4-5, Historical Depth 30,000+
Important Notes:
Signals appear only on confirmed bars (not on real-time candles unless confirmed)
The momentum score becomes more accurate as more historical data is processed
Position filter should be adjusted based on the volatility of the instrument being traded
Best used in conjunction with proper risk management and position sizing
What Makes This Indicator Unique:
Unlike indicators that simply apply mathematical formulas to price data, AMT learns from historical price behavior. It doesn't just tell you what happened—it tells you what's likely to happen next based on thousands of similar situations in the past. The statistical momentum score provides an edge that pure technical indicators cannot offer.
Disclaimer: This indicator is a tool for technical analysis and should not be used as the sole basis for trading decisions. Always use proper risk management and combine with your own analysis. Happy Trading !!

Institutional Confluence Mapper [JOAT]Institutional Confluence Mapper (ICM)
Introduction
The Institutional Confluence Mapper is an open-source multi-factor analysis tool that combines five analytical modules into a unified confluence scoring system. It synthesizes institutional trading concepts including Relative Rotation analysis, Smart Money flow detection, Liquidity zone mapping, Session-based timing, and Volatility regime classification.
Rather than relying on a single indicator, ICM evaluates market conditions through multiple lenses simultaneously, presenting a clear confluence score (0-100%) that reflects the alignment of various market factors.
This script is fully open-source under the Mozilla Public License 2.0.
Originality and Purpose
This indicator is NOT a random mashup of existing indicators. It is an original implementation that creates a unified institutional analysis framework:
Why Multiple Modules? Most retail traders struggle because they rely on single indicators that provide conflicting signals. Institutional traders evaluate markets through multiple frameworks simultaneously. ICM bridges this gap by providing a unified view of complementary analysis methods.
The Confluence Scoring System: Each module contributes to a weighted confluence score (0-100%). Scores above 65% indicate bullish confluence; below 35% indicates bearish confluence.
How Components Work Together:
RRG (Relative Rotation) determines macro bias - is this asset outperforming or underperforming its benchmark?
Institutional Flow confirms smart money activity - are institutions accumulating or distributing?
Volatility Regime determines strategy selection - trend-follow or mean-revert?
Liquidity Detection identifies key levels - where are the stop hunts happening?
Session Analysis optimizes timing - when should you trade?
The Five Core Modules
1. Relative Rotation Momentum Matrix (RRG)
Compares the current symbol against a benchmark (default: SPY) using the JdK RS-Ratio methodology with double-smoothed EMA. Assets rotate through four quadrants:
LEADING: Outperforming with positive momentum (strongest bullish)
WEAKENING: Outperforming but losing momentum
LAGGING: Underperforming with negative momentum (strongest bearish)
IMPROVING: Underperforming but gaining momentum
2. Institutional Flow Analysis
Analyzes volume patterns to detect smart money activity:
Volume Z-Score measures how unusual current volume is
Buy/Sell pressure estimation based on candle structure
Unusual volume detection highlights institutional activity
3. Volatility Regime System
Uses ATR percentile ranking to classify market conditions:
COMPRESSION: Low volatility (ATR < 20th percentile) - potential breakout
EXPANSION: High volatility (ATR > 80th percentile) - trending
TRENDING_BULL/BEAR: Directional trends based on EMA alignment
RANGING: Sideways consolidation
4. Liquidity Detection
Identifies institutional liquidity targets using swing point analysis:
Swing highs/lows are tracked and displayed as dashed lines
Purple dashed lines mark resistance/sell-side liquidity
Teal dashed lines mark support/buy-side liquidity
Gold diamonds appear when liquidity sweeps are detected (potential reversals)
5. Session Momentum Profiler
Tracks trading sessions based on your selected timezone:
Asian Session: 7PM - 4AM EST
London Session: 3AM - 12PM EST
New York Session: 9:30AM - 4PM EST
London/NY Overlap: 8AM - 12PM EST (peak liquidity)
Visual Elements
Main Dashboard (Top-Right):
BIAS: Overall direction with confluence percentage
RRG: Current quadrant and momentum
FLOW: Smart money bias and volume status
REGIME: Market condition and volatility percentile
SESSION: Active trading session and current time
LIQUIDITY: Active zones and grab signals
SIGNAL: Actionable recommendation
Chart Elements:
Gold Diamond: Liquidity grab (potential reversal point)
Teal Dashed Line: Support / Buy-side liquidity zone
Purple Dashed Line: Resistance / Sell-side liquidity zone
EMA 21/55/200: Trend structure with cloud fill
Volatility Bands: ATR-based channels
How to Use
Step 1: Check the BIAS row for overall market direction
Step 2: Check REGIME to understand market conditions
Step 3: Identify key levels using liquidity zones and EMAs
Step 4: Wait for confluence above 65% (bullish) or below 35% (bearish)
Step 5: Look for gold diamond signals at key levels
Best Setups
Bullish: Confluence >65%, RRG in LEADING/IMPROVING, bullish flow, price near teal support zone.
Bearish: Confluence <35%, RRG in LAGGING/WEAKENING, bearish flow, price near purple resistance zone.
Reversal: Gold diamond appears after price sweeps a liquidity zone.
Key Input Parameters
Benchmark Symbol: Compare against (default: SPY)
RS-Ratio/Momentum Lookback: RRG calculation periods
Volume Analysis Period: Flow detection lookback
Swing Length: Liquidity zone detection
ATR Period/Rank Period: Regime classification
Timezone: Session detection timezone
Alerts
Liquidity Grab Bull: Bullish sweep detected
Liquidity Grab Bear: Bearish sweep detected
High Confluence Bull: Confluence above 70%
High Confluence Bear: Confluence below 30%
Best Practices
Use on 1H, 4H, or Daily timeframes for reliable signals
Combine with price action for confirmation
Respect the regime - don't fight strong trends
Trade during London/NY overlap for best liquidity
Wait for high confluence scores before entering
Always use proper risk management
Limitations
Works best on liquid markets with sufficient volume
Session features optimized for forex/crypto markets
RRG requires a valid benchmark symbol
No indicator predicts the future - use proper risk management

MATATABI SP Ver.1Specifications & Features
This indicator is a comprehensive tool designed to monitor trend inception (Squeeze), key reversal zones (Smart SR), and market context (Range Analysis) on a single chart. It is updated for Pine Script v6.
1. 10 Moving Averages (MA)
Spec: Displays a total of 10 Moving Averages.
Defaults: All set to EMA (Exponential Moving Average) with periods 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65 (increments of 5).
Customization: Period, type (SMA, EMA, SMMA, WMA), color, and width for each line can be adjusted in the settings.
Visibility: MA01-MA08 are visible by default; MA09-MA10 are hidden by default.
2. MA Squeeze Detection Alert
Feature: Detects when all 10 MAs contract (cluster together) and flatten out, indicating potential energy buildup for a move.
Behavior: No background color change on the chart; it functions purely as an Alert condition configurable in TradingView.
Logic: Triggered when the spread between the highest and lowest MA is below a specific ATR threshold AND the slope of the longest MA is near zero.
3. Smart Support & Resistance (Smart SR)
Zone Display: Draws Support/Resistance as zones (bands) rather than thin lines. The width adapts automatically based on volatility (ATR).
Auto-Removal on Break: When price breaks through a zone, the line stops extending to the right automatically. This ensures only currently active/unbroken levels remain visible on the chart.
Significance Filter: Filters out minor noise, using a longer Pivot length (15) to identify only significant peaks and troughs. It also prevents drawing duplicate zones near existing ones.
Multi-Timeframe (MTF): Can display SR zones from a higher timeframe (e.g., 4H SR on a 15m chart) alongside current timeframe zones.
4. Range Analysis
Range Detection: Visualizes consolidation areas (boxes) based on price deviation and volume analysis.
Info Dashboard: Displays a table (top-right) showing the range strength and a statistical "Directional Probability (Bullish/Bearish %)" for the potential breakout.
Breakout Signals: Highlights the box border and triggers alerts when price breaks out of the detected range.

動作: チャートの背景色は変更せず、アラート通知のみを行う仕様です（設定画面でアラート条件を作成可能）。
判定ロジック: 「MA全体の最大幅がATRの一定倍率以下」かつ「長期MAの傾きがほぼゼロ」の場合に検知します。
3. スマート・レジサポ (Smart Support & Resistance)
ゾーン表示: 単なる線ではなく、価格帯（ゾーン）として描画されます。幅はボラティリティ（ATR）に基づいて自動調整されます。
ブレイクで自動消去: 価格がゾーンを実体でブレイク（上抜け/下抜け）すると、そのラインは「役割を終えた」と判断され、右側への延長が自動的に停止します。これにより、チャート上には「現在有効なレジサポ」のみが残ります。
重要度フィルター: 小さな値動きを除外し、目立つ山や谷（Pivot期間15）のみを抽出して描画します。また、既存のラインと近い場合は重複して描画しません。

Elliott Wave Pattern AnalyzerElliott Wave Pattern Analyzer
Overview
This indicator automatically detects Elliott Wave impulse patterns and diagonal formations on your chart. It analyzes price structure based on classic Elliott Wave rules and displays wave counts with confidence scores, Fibonacci projections, and invalidation levels.
Why I Built This
After reading Glenn Neely's book on Elliott Wave theory, I wanted to put my learning into practice by building something tangible. There's no better way to understand a concept than trying to code it!
I'll be honest – corrective wave patterns (zigzags, flats, triangles, combinations) were simply too complex for me to implement reliably. So instead, I focused on what I could manage: impulse waves and diagonal patterns. Maybe someday I'll tackle the corrections, but for now, this is my humble contribution.
The retracement visualization style was inspired by LuxAlgo's elegant approach – credit where credit is due!
How It Works
1. Wave Detection
The indicator uses pivot points to identify potential 5-wave structures:
WaveRuleWave 2Cannot retrace more than 100% of Wave 1Wave 3Cannot be the shortest among Waves 1, 3, 5Wave 4Should not overlap Wave 1 territory (impulse)Wave 5Completes the motive structure
2. Pattern Types
Impulse Waves
Classic 5-wave motive structure
Wave 3 typically extends (≥1.618 of Wave 1)
Strict mode enforces all Elliott rules
Diagonal Patterns
Ending diagonal (wedge-shaped)
Waves progressively contract
Lines 1-3 and 2-4 converge to an apex
Often signals trend exhaustion
3. Confidence Scoring
Each pattern receives a confidence score (0-100%) based on:
Fibonacci ratio adherence
Wave proportion relationships
Rule compliance
Structural clarity
Only patterns exceeding your threshold (default: 60%) are displayed.
4. Fibonacci Projections
After Wave 5 completion, the indicator projects potential retracement levels:
0.382, 0.500, 0.618, 0.786 of the entire impulse
5. Extension Channel
Connects Wave 0 origin to the retracement low, projecting:
0.618, 1.000, 1.272, 1.618 extensions
Optional extended levels: 2.000, 2.618, 4.236
6. Invalidation Levels
Shows the price level where the wave count becomes invalid – helping you know when your analysis is wrong.
Settings Explained
Impulse Wave Settings
Pivot Length: Sensitivity of wave detection (recommended: 5, 7, 14)
Strict Mode: Enforce all classic Elliott rules
Min Wave 3 Extension: Minimum ratio for Wave 3 (default: 1.618)
Diagonal Wave Settings
Allow Wave 4-1 Overlap: Required for valid diagonals
Extend Trendline: Project diagonal boundaries forward
Projection Settings
Fibonacci Levels: Customize retracement targets
Extension Bars: How far projections extend on chart
Pattern Management
Max Patterns: Limit displayed patterns to reduce clutter
Pattern Lifetime: Auto-remove old patterns after X bars
Use Cases
Trend Trading: Enter on Wave 3 or Wave 5 breakouts
Reversal Spotting: Diagonal completion often signals reversals
Target Setting: Use Fibonacci extensions for take-profit levels
Risk Management: Invalidation levels provide clear stop-loss references
Notes
This indicator uses pivot detection and may repaint – signals are confirmed after the specified pivot length
Designed for educational and analytical purposes, not as a signal generator
Elliott Wave analysis is subjective – this is my algorithmic interpretation
Works best on liquid markets with clear trend structure
Not financial advice – always do your own research
Re-publishing Notice
This indicator was previously blocked due to some house rule violations on my part. I've recently had time to review and fix those issues, and I'm now re-publishing a compliant version. Thanks for your patience!
Feedback Welcome
I'm still learning Elliott Wave theory myself, so if you spot any issues or have suggestions for improvement, please leave a comment. Let's learn together!

Bollinger Aurora Velocity [Pineify]Pineify - Bollinger Aurora Velocity
The Bollinger Aurora Velocity is an enhanced volatility and trend analysis indicator that transforms the classic Bollinger Bands into a visually stunning, multi-dimensional trading tool. By combining standard deviation bands with historical extreme tracking and dynamic momentum coloring, this indicator provides traders with deeper insights into volatility cycles, squeeze conditions, and trend strength all in one overlay.
Key Features
Classic Bollinger Bands with customizable period and standard deviation multiplier
Nebula Memory Cloud tracking historical band extremes for volatility context
Volatility Squeeze Detection with visual dot indicators on the basis line
Gradient-based candle coloring reflecting normalized price position
Multi-layer aurora gradient fills for intuitive visual analysis
How It Works
The indicator begins with a standard Bollinger Bands calculation using a simple moving average as the basis line, with upper and lower bands placed at a user-defined multiple of standard deviation. This core structure measures price volatility and identifies overbought/oversold conditions.
The Nebula Memory Cloud extends beyond traditional bands by tracking the highest point of the upper band and lowest point of the lower band over a configurable lookback period. This creates an outer envelope showing the maximum volatility expansion in recent history.
Trading Ideas and Insights
The Volatility Squeeze is a powerful concept where contracting Bollinger Bands often precede significant price breakouts. This indicator detects squeezes by comparing the current band width to its 100-period simple moving average. When the current range falls below this average, yellow dots appear on the basis line, alerting traders to potential explosive moves ahead.
When squeeze dots appear and the outer nebula cloud shows significant distance from the current bands, it suggests volatility is at a historical low relative to recent extremes—a setup often followed by strong directional moves.
How Multiple Indicators Work Together
Bollinger Bands establish the primary volatility envelope and mean-reversion zones
The Nebula Cloud provides historical context, showing how current volatility compares to recent extremes
Squeeze Detection identifies compression phases using relative bandwidth analysis
Normalized Scoring translates price position into a 0-100 scale for gradient coloring
Unique Aspects
Unlike standard Bollinger Bands indicators, the Aurora Velocity creates a heat-map effect on price bars. The normalized score calculates where price sits within the bands as a percentage, then applies a smooth gradient from bearish to bullish colors. This allows traders to instantly perceive momentum strength—saturated bullish colors near the upper band indicate strong upward pressure, while saturated bearish colors near the lower band signal selling dominance.
The aurora-style gradient fills between band layers create visual depth, making it easy to distinguish the core volatility zone from the historical extreme boundaries.
How to Use
Monitor candle colors for momentum direction—bright green indicates bullish positioning, bright red signals bearish pressure
Watch for yellow squeeze dots on the basis line as early warning for potential breakouts
Use the outer nebula cloud to assess if current volatility is testing historical extremes
Set alerts for price breakouts above the upper band or below the lower band
Combine squeeze conditions with the nebula cloud width to gauge breakout potential
Customization
Base Period - Controls Bollinger Bands calculation length (default: 20)
Standard Deviation Multiplier - Adjusts band width from the basis (default: 2.0)
Price Source - Select the price input for calculations (default: close)
Nebula Memory Length - Lookback period for tracking historical extremes (default: 50)
Color Settings - Customize bullish and bearish gradient colors
Conclusion
The Bollinger Aurora Velocity elevates traditional Bollinger Bands analysis by adding historical volatility context through the Nebula Cloud, precise squeeze detection for breakout anticipation, and intuitive momentum visualization through gradient candle coloring. This combination helps traders identify not just where price is relative to volatility bands, but how that volatility compares to recent history and when compression may lead to expansion.

Support and Resistance Breakout Signals [MarkitTick]💡 This indicator provides a comprehensive, automated system for identifying, tracking, and trading Support and Resistance (S/R) breakouts. By synthesizing classic Swing High and Swing Low pivot analysis with Multi-Timeframe (HTF) capabilities and Volume confirmation, it transforms raw price action into actionable structural data. It is designed to declutter charts by automatically managing active levels and highlighting significant market structure shifts (Higher Highs, Lower Lows) alongside verified breakout signals.
✨ Originality and Utility
While many indicators draw static pivot points, this tool distinguishes itself through "State Management." It treats Support and Resistance not just as historical markers, but as active zones that evolve.
Dynamic Level Management: Instead of flooding the chart with infinite lines, the script uses arrays to store a specific number of recent levels. As price action progresses, invalid or broken levels are removed or updated, keeping the analysis focused on current relevance.
Multi-Timeframe Confluence: Uniquely, it allows you to overlay higher timeframe support and resistance levels (e.g., Daily levels on a 4-hours chart) without changing your chart view, enabling top-down analysis instantly.
Market Structure Labeling: It automatically tags pivot points with Dow Theory labels (HH, LH, LL, HL), aiding traders in instantly recognizing trend direction without manual charting.
🔬 Methodology and Concepts
The script operates on three core technical pillars:
● Swing Pivot Detection
The foundation is the detection of local extrema using a "Left/Right" bar lookback mechanism. A Swing High is identified when a high is greater than the L bars preceding it and the R bars following it. This confirms a fractal peak or valley.
Note on Confirmation: Because the script waits for R bars to close to confirm a pivot, the lines appear retroactively. However, the extension of these lines and subsequent breakout signals occur in real-time.
● Breakout Logic with Volume Integration
A breakout is triggered when the Close price crosses an active S/R line.
Resistance Break: Current Close > Resistance Level (and Previous Close ≤ Level).
Support Break: Current Close < Support Level (and Previous Close ≥ Level).
Volume Confirmation: An optional filter requires the breakout bar's volume to exceed a Moving Average of volume, ensuring momentum backs the move.
● Time Decay
To mimic the reduced relevance of stale levels, the script includes a "Time Decay" feature. If a level is not interacted with for a user-defined number of bars, it is automatically purged from the system, ensuring the chart reflects only fresh interest levels.
🎨 Visual Guide
The indicator uses a specific color-coding and labeling system to convey information quickly:
● Support & Resistance Lines
Red Lines (Thin): Represent active Resistance levels on the current timeframe.
Green Lines (Thin): Represent active Support levels on the current timeframe.
Fuchsia Lines (Thick): Represent Higher Timeframe (HTF) Resistance levels.
Aqua Lines (Thick): Represent Higher Timeframe (HTF) Support levels.
● Market Structure Labels
Located at the pivot points, these text labels define the trend structure:
HH / LH: Higher High / Lower High (Red Text).
LL / HL: Lower Low / Higher Low (Green/Aqua Text).
HTF-R / HTF-S: Indicates major structural pivots from the higher timeframe.
● Breakout Signals
When a valid break occurs, a label appears above or below the bar:
Blue Triangle Up (▲): Bullish breakout through resistance.
Blue Triangle Down (▼): Bearish breakout through support.
Number in Label: Indicates the cumulative count of breaks for that specific trend sequence (e.g., "1" is the first break, "2" is the second).
The breakout count represents the intensity of the move. A reading greater than 1 signals exceptional market strength, indicating the penetration of multiple Key Levels (Support or Resistance) within a single candle.

Trend Continuation: In an uptrend (sequence of HH/HL), wait for a Blue Triangle Up (▲) occurring at a Red Resistance line. This signals the continuation of the trend.
Trend Reversal: Watch for a "Structure Break." If price is making Higher Highs, but then breaks a Green Support line (generating a ▼ signal) and forms a Lower Low (LL), the trend may be reversing.
HTF "Bounce" Plays: Use the thick Fuchsia/Aqua lines as major zones. If price approaches a thick Aqua line (HTF Support) and fails to break it, look for LTF bullish structure (HH/HL) to form for an entry.
Volume Filtering: Enable the "Volume Confirmation" setting to filter out "fakeouts" (breaks on low volume).
⚙️ Inputs and Settings
● Swing Settings
Left/Right Bars: Determines the sensitivity of the pivot detection. Higher numbers = fewer, more significant pivots.
Max Stored Levels: How many S/R lines to keep in memory at once.
Max Break Labels: Limits visual clutter by capping the number of signal labels.
● Usability & HTF
Enable Time Decay: If true, deletes lines that are older than "Decay Period" bars.
Enable HTF Levels: Toggles the display of higher timeframe pivots.
HTF Timeframe: Select the specific timeframe for the macro view (e.g., "D" for Daily).
● Analysis
Volume Confirmation: Toggles the requirement for volume to be above its average for a signal to fire.
Show Market Structure: Toggles the HH/LL text labels.
🔍 Deconstruction of the Underlying Scientific and Academic Framework
The script's logic is rooted in Fractal Geometry and Auction Market Theory .
● Mandelbrot's Fractals: The use of `leftBars` and `rightBars` is a direct application of identifying market fractals. Markets are self-similar across timeframes; a pivot on a 5-minute chart is structurally identical to one on a Weekly chart. This script exploits this property by allowing nested timeframe analysis (LTF inside HTF).
● Memory of Price (Behavioral Finance): Support and resistance lines represent zones where market participants have previously established value (Price Memory). The "Breakout" signal is mathematically significant because it represents a shift in the supply/demand equilibrium. When price closes beyond a stored array value (the pivot price), it signifies that the aggressive limit orders that created the pivot have been exhausted or withdrawn, validating a new search for value.

Scalp Hunter [Scalping-Algo]═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🎯 SCALP HUNTER
Precision ATR Momentum System for Fast Timeframes
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
📌 OVERVIEW
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Scalp Hunter is a high-accuracy scalping indicator designed specifically for
low timeframe trading (3M, 4M, 5M). It combines ATR-based trailing stops with
multiple confirmation filters to deliver clean, actionable signals.
✅ No Repaint
✅ No Delay
✅ Confirmed Signals Only
✅ Multi-Filter Validation
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
⚙️ HOW IT WORKS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The indicator uses an ATR Trailing Stop as its core engine. When price crosses
the trail line, a potential signal is generated. But here's what makes it
accurate — signals must pass through 4 additional filters:
│
├─ 📊 PRICE ACTION FILTER
│ • Candle must close in signal direction
│ • Body size > 50% of full candle range
│ • Confirms strong momentum, not weak wicks
│
├─ 📈 VOLUME FILTER
│ • Volume must exceed 1.1x of 10-period average
│ • Filters out low-conviction moves
│ • Toggle on/off in settings
│
├─ 📉 EMA TREND FILTER
│ • Long signals: price must be above 21 EMA
│ • Short signals: price must be below 21 EMA
│ • Keeps you trading with the trend
│
└─ 🔥 MOMENTUM FILTER (RSI)
• RSI must confirm direction (>50 for longs, <50 for shorts)
• Avoids overbought/oversold extremes
• Fast 7-period RSI tuned for scalping

⚠️ RISK DISCLAIMER
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Trading involves substantial risk. This indicator is a tool, not financial
advice. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Always:
• Use proper position sizing
• Set stop losses on every trade
• Never risk more than you can afford to lose
• Backtest before live trading
• Combine with your own analysis
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
💡 TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
✦ Trade during high-volume sessions (London/NY open)
✦ Avoid signals during major news releases
✦ Confirm with higher timeframe trend
✦ Best results on liquid pairs/assets
✦ Keep all filters ON for highest accuracy
✦ Turn off filters only if you need more signals
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
📊 WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Most ATR trailing indicators give too many signals. Scalp Hunter is different:
❌ Other indicators: Signal on every trail cross
✅ Scalp Hunter: Signal only when 5 conditions align
This means fewer trades, but higher probability setups.

Liquidity Trend Horizon [Pineify]Pineify - Liquidity Trend Horizon
The Liquidity Trend Horizon is a sophisticated trend-following indicator designed to identify potential liquidity sweep zones while providing clear visual trend direction. It combines adaptive volatility bands with smart liquidity detection to help traders spot high-probability reversal points where institutional activity may be occurring.
Key Features
Dynamic trend baseline using WMA and EMA smoothing
ATR-based volatility bands that adapt to market conditions
Automatic liquidity sweep detection with visual alerts
Gradient-filled channels for intuitive trend visualization
Real-time candle coloring based on trend direction
How It Works
The indicator calculates a weighted moving average (WMA) of the closing price, then applies exponential smoothing (EMA) to create a responsive yet stable baseline. This dual-smoothing approach filters out market noise while maintaining sensitivity to genuine trend changes.
Volatility bands are constructed using a 200-period Average True Range (ATR) multiplied by a user-defined factor. This creates dynamic support and resistance zones that automatically widen during volatile periods and contract during consolidation.
How Multiple Indicators Work Together
The synergy between WMA, EMA, and ATR creates a comprehensive trend analysis system:
The WMA provides the initial trend estimation with emphasis on recent price action
The EMA layer adds smoothness to reduce false signals
The ATR bands define probabilistic boundaries where price is likely to find support or resistance
Trading Ideas and Insights
Liquidity sweeps occur when price wicks beyond the volatility bands but closes back within the channel. These events often indicate:
Stop-loss hunting by larger market participants
False breakouts that may lead to reversals
Areas of accumulated liquidity being absorbed
A bullish sweep (wick below lower band, close above) suggests potential buying opportunity. A bearish sweep (wick above upper band, close below) may signal selling pressure.
Unique Aspects
Unlike traditional channel indicators, the Liquidity Trend Horizon specifically identifies sweep events where price temporarily breaks boundaries before reverting. This behavior is commonly associated with institutional order flow and smart money concepts.
How to Use
Observe the baseline color for overall trend direction (cyan for bullish, purple for bearish)
Watch for sweep markers (🚀 BULL / 📉 BEAR) at band extremes
Use background flashes as immediate alerts for sweep events
Consider entries when sweeps align with the prevailing trend direction
Customization
Trend Period - Adjust baseline sensitivity (default: 24)
Channel Width Multiplier - Control band distance from baseline (default: 2.0)
Smoothness - Fine-tune signal responsiveness (default: 5)
Color Settings - Personalize bullish/bearish colors and transparency
Conclusion
The Liquidity Trend Horizon bridges technical analysis with liquidity concepts, offering traders a unique perspective on market structure. By highlighting potential sweep zones within an adaptive trend framework, it helps identify areas where reversals are statistically more likely to occur.
