Top-Down Analysis - Multi-Timeframe AlignmentThis indicator implements a Top-Down Multi-Timeframe Trading Analysis System. Here's what it does:
Core Functionality
1. Multi-Timeframe Bias Detection
Monitors three timeframes: Daily, 4-Hour, and 1-Hour
Determines if each timeframe is bullish, bearish, or neutral based on two EMAs (9 and 21 period by default)
A timeframe is bullish when: Fast EMA > Slow EMA AND price is above Fast EMA
A timeframe is bearish when: Fast EMA < Slow EMA AND price is below Fast EMA
2. Alignment Tier System
Tier 1 (Full Alignment): All three timeframes agree (Daily = 4H = 1H direction)
Tier 2 (Partial Alignment): Daily and 1H agree, but 4H differs
No Alignment: Timeframes disagree
3. Previous Day Support & Resistance Levels
Automatically plots key levels from the previous day:
Previous Day High (PDH) - resistance
Previous Day Low (PDL) - support
Previous Day Close (PDC)
Previous Day Midpoint (PDM)
4. Execution Zone (15-Minute Window)
Highlights the first 15 minutes after each new 4H candle opens
This is the optimal entry window when alignment conditions are met
5. Pattern Recognition
Detects trading setups:
Double tops/bottoms
Long wicks at support/resistance
Bullish/bearish closes aligned with bias
6. Trade Signals
Generates entry signals when:
There's Tier 1 or Tier 2 alignment
Price is in the 15-minute execution zone
A valid pattern forms (double top/bottom or wick rejection)
7. Visual Dashboard
Shows a real-time table with:
Each timeframe's current bias
Alignment status
Next 4H prediction
Whether price is at a key support/resistance level
Trading Strategy
The indicator helps traders follow the principle of "trade with the higher timeframe trend" by only taking trades when multiple timeframes agree, focusing entries during specific windows, and respecting previous day's key price levels as potential reaction zones.

Dobrusky Pressure CoreWhat it does & who it’s for
Dobrusky Pressure Core is a volume by time replacement for traders who care about which side actually controls each bar. Instead of just plotting total volume, it splits each bar into estimated buy vs sell pressure and overlays a custom, session-aware volume baseline. It’s built for discretionary traders who want more nuanced volume context for entries, breakouts, and pullbacks.
Core ideas
Buy/sell pressure split: Each bar’s volume is broken into estimated buying and selling pressure.
Dominant side highlighting: The dominant side (buy or sell) is always displayed starting from the bottom of the bar, so you can quickly see who “owned” that bar.
Median-based baseline: Uses the median of the last N bars (50 by default) to build a robust volume baseline that’s less sensitive to one-off spikes.
Session-aware behavior: Baseline is calculated from Regular Trading Hours (RTH) by default, with an option to include Extended Hours (ETH) and a control to force Regular data on higher timeframes.
Volume regimes: Three multipliers (1x, 1.5x, 2x by default) show normal, high, and extreme volume regions.
Flexible display: Baseline can be shown as lines or as columns behind the volume, with full color customization.
How the pressure logic works
For each bar, the script:
Adjusts the range for gaps relative to the prior close so the “true” traded range is more consistent.
Computes buy pressure as a proportion of the adjusted range from low to close.
Defines sell pressure as: total volume minus buy pressure.
Marks the bar as buy-dominant if buy pressure ≥ sell pressure, otherwise sell-dominant, and colors the dominant side from the bottom to at least the midpoint using the selected buy/sell colors.
In practice, this turns basic volume columns into bars where the internal split and dominant side are clearly visible, helping you judge whether aggressive buyers or sellers truly controlled the bar instead of just looking at the price action.
Volume baseline & session logic
The script builds a session-aware baseline from recent volume:
Baseline length: A rolling window (default 50 bars) is used to compute a median volume value instead of a simple moving average.
RTH-only by default: By default, the baseline is built from Regular Trading Hours bars only. During extended hours, the baseline effectively “freezes” at the last RTH-derived value unless you choose to include extended session data.
Extended mode: If you select Extended mode, the script builds separate rolling baselines for RTH and ETH trading, using the appropriate one depending on the current session.
Force Regular Above Timeframe: On timeframes equal to or higher than your chosen threshold, the baseline automatically uses Regular session data, even if Extended is selected.
Multipliers: Three adjustable multipliers (1x, 1.5x, 2x by default) create normal, high, and extreme volume bands for quick identification.
This lets you choose whether you want a pure RTH reference or a baseline that adapts to extended-session activity.
Example ways to use it
1. Replace standard volume bars
Add Dobrusky Pressure Core to your volume pane and hide the default volume if you prefer a clean look.
Use the colors and split to see at a glance whether buyers or sellers were dominant on each bar.
2. Pressure confirmation for entries
For longs (example concept; adapt to your own rules):
Require that the entry bar’s buy pressure is greater than the previous bar’s sell pressure , or
If the entry and prior bar are both buy-dominant, require that the entry bar has more buy pressure than the prior bar.
This helps avoid taking a long when buying pressure is clearly fading relative to what sellers recently showed. A mirrored idea can be used for short setups with sell pressure.
3. Context from baseline multipliers
Use ~1x baseline as “normal” volume.
Watch for bars at or above 1.5x baseline when you want to see increased participation.
Treat 2x baseline and above as “extreme” volume zones that may mark climactic or especially important bars.
In practice, the baseline and multipliers are best used as context and filters, not as rigid rules.
Settings overview
Display
- Show Volume Baseline: toggle the baseline and its levels on or off.
- Baseline Display: choose between Line or Bars for the baseline visualization.
Baseline Calculation
- Length: lookback for the median baseline (default 50, configurable).
- Baseline Session Data: choose Regular or Extended to control which session data feeds the baseline.
Session Controls
- Regular Session (Local to TZ): define your RTH window (e.g., 0930-1600).
- Session Time Zone: choose the time zone used for that window.
- Force Regular Above Timeframe: on higher timeframes, force the baseline to use Regular session data only.
Baseline Levels
- Show Level x Multiplier 1/2/3: toggle each volume regime level.
- Multiplier 1/2/3: define what you consider normal, high, and extreme volume (defaults: 1.0, 1.5, 2.0).
Colors
- Buy Volume / Sell Volume: choose colors for buy and sell pressure.
- Baseline Bars (Base / x2 / x3): colors when the baseline is drawn as columns.
- Baseline Line (Base / x2 / x3): colors when the baseline is drawn as lines.
Limitations & best practices
This is a decision-support and visualization tool, not a buy/sell signal generator.
Best suited to markets where volume data is meaningful (e.g., index futures, liquid equities, liquid crypto).
The usefulness of any volume-based metric depends on the underlying data feed and instrument structure.
Always combine pressure and baseline context with your own strategy, risk management, and testing.
Originality
Most volume tools either show total volume only or compare it to a simple moving average. Dobrusky Pressure Core combines:
An intrabar buy/sell pressure split based on a gap-adjusted price range.
A median-based, configurable baseline built from session-specific data.
Session-aware behavior that keeps the baseline focused on Regular hours by default, with the option to incorporate Extended hours and force Regular data on higher timeframes.
The goal is to give traders a richer, session-aware view of participation and pressure that standard volume bars and simple SMA overlays don’t provide, while keeping everything transparent and open-source so users can review and adapt the logic.
Macketings 1min ScalpingThis is a hyper-reactive scalping strategy designed for the 1-minute chart. It utilizes a strict four-EMA hierarchy (80/90/340/500) to ensure trades are only taken in the strongest aligned market trend. The strategy is built to be extremely tight on risk and focuses on capturing the immediate, high-momentum swing that follows a confirmed EMA retest or breakout.
Key Mechanics (How it Works):
Strict Trend Alignment: Entry is only permitted when the faster EMA band (80/90) and the price action are correctly aligned with the slow trend (340/500).
Long: EMA 80/90 must be above EMA 340/500, AND EMA 340 must be above EMA 500. (And vice-versa for Short.)
Expanded Retest Entry: The strategy waits for the price to retest or briefly enter the 80/90 band, then immediately enters upon the confirmed momentum breakout from that band.
Dynamic Risk Management (Tight Ride): The strategy is engineered to ride the wave aggressively while protecting capital immediately:
Extremely Tight Initial Stop Loss (0.2% default): Limits initial risk instantly.
Break-Even Security: Once profit hits 0.3%, the Stop Loss is automatically trailed to secure 0.2% profit (a risk-free trade).
Aggressive Exit Logic: Positions are closed not only upon hitting the Take Profit target (2.5%) but also immediately if the 80/90 EMA band crosses the 340 EMA, signaling a critical loss of momentum.
Disclaimer:
This strategy requires high-liquidity instruments and is best used on low timeframes (1-minute) due to its dependency on fast momentum shifts and tight stops. Backtesting and forward testing are crucial before deployment.

Footprint Safe FinalThis script is made for guide purpose only. It has some few important functions that can help you with your trading strategy.
Institutional Volume Flow (IVF) with VWAP & Zones. Accumulation Zone (Green Background)Logic: Signals potential institutional buying at the low.Conditions: The current close price is below VWAP $\text{(close} < \text{VWAP)}$, AND there has been at least one Aggressive Buy (IVF) bar within the last $\text{N}$ bars.2. Manipulation Zone (Red Background)Logic: Signals a Stop Hunt or False Breakout where the market briefly takes out a previous extreme before reversing with institutional conviction.Conditions:False Break High: Current high is a new 2-bar high, immediately followed by an Aggressive Sell (IVF) bar.False Break Low: Current low is a new 2-bar low, immediately followed by an Aggressive Buy (IVF) bar.3. Compression Zone (Purple Background)Logic: Signals a period of low volatility where price is "coiling up" for a large move.Conditions: The bar's range $\text{(high} - \text{low)}$ is consistently small (less than a multiplier of the Average True Range (ATR)) for a specific number of bars.The zones are plotted using bgcolor() for a visual area on the chart and plotshape() to mark the specific bar where the condition is met. Manipulation is given the highest plotting priority to ensure it's visible over other zones if conditions overlap.Would you like me to elaborate on the typical trading strategy associated with any of these three zones (Accumulation, Manipulation, or Compression)?

Energy Meter (Candle Range/ATR Ratio)Purpose:
This indicator is a simple, intuitive way to visualize auction energy — the actual force behind a price move — rather than just its appearance on the chart. It’s built on a single idea:
If a bar travels farther than normal in its fixed amount of time, something pushed harder than usual.
That “push” is auction energy, and it’s the raw material of microstructure inference: reading intent and imbalance from nothing more than candles, tempo, and volatility.
Traditional indicators focus on price patterns or volume. This one focuses on pressure — the underlying imbalance driving each bar.
How It Works
Each bar’s True Range is divided by its ATR, producing a normalized ratio:
1.0 = Average energy
>1.2 (default) = Above-normal energy
<1.0 = Quiet, low-pressure bars
This ratio is plotted as a histogram to highlight bursts of force, with a smoothed line added to show the tempo of recent energy changes.
When the histogram spikes, you’re seeing the auction flash its teeth: aggression, initiative, failed absorption, breakout ignition, or the first punch of a reversal.
When the line rolls over, you’re seeing the engine lose torque.
It’s a minimalist tool for seeing who is actually winning the auction, even when price looks deceptively calm.
Why It Matters
Price moves because of imbalance, not geometry. Two candles that look identical can represent completely different internal dynamics.
This indicator helps you see:
Breakout strength vs. fakeouts
Acceleration vs. drift
Exhaustion after extended runs
Reversal attempts with real intent
Quiet absorption before explosive moves
Shifts in aggression hidden inside consolidation
For new traders, it’s a clean introduction to microstructure inference — extracting meaningful order-flow insights without needing L2, DOM, or volume profile.
For experienced traders, it's a compact impulse detector that complements trend, volatility, and liquidity models.
Summary
This is a lightweight, first-principles tool designed to expose the energy signature of the auction: how hard the market is trying to go somewhere.
It doesn’t predict direction — it reveals pressure, so you can judge the quality of the move you’re trading.
Energy beats geometry.
Intent beats patterns.
Microstructure is hiding in every candle; this indicator makes it visible.

Smart Margin Zone
SMART MARGIN ZONE - CME-BASED SUPPORT & RESISTANCE INDICATOR
TITLE FOR PUBLICATION:
Smart Margin Zone - CME Margin-Based Support and Resistance
CATEGORY:
Support and Resistance
SHORT DESCRIPTION (for preview):
Automatically plots margin zones based on CME Group requirements. These zones represent critical price levels where leveraged traders face margin calls, creating natural support and resistance through forced liquidations.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
FULL DESCRIPTION FOR TRADINGVIEW:
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
📊 Smart Margin Zone - Professional Trading Zones Based on CME Data
This indicator automatically calculates and displays margin zones derived from official CME Group margin requirements. These zones represent critical price levels where traders using leverage receive margin calls, triggering forced position closures that create natural support and resistance levels.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🎯 CORE CONCEPT
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
When price reaches calculated margin zones, traders using 2:1 or 4:1 leverage on CME futures receive margin calls. Brokers automatically liquidate these positions, creating waves of buying or selling pressure that form strong support and resistance levels.
This is not theoretical - it's based on actual margin requirements from CME Group, the world's largest derivatives marketplace.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
📐 CALCULATION METHODOLOGY
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
The indicator uses the following formula to calculate zone sizes:
Zone Size = (Margin Requirement / Tick Value) × Tick Size × 1.10
Where:
• Margin Requirement = Official CME initial margin (updated November 2024)
• Tick Value = Dollar value of minimum price movement
• Tick Size = Minimum price increment
• 1.10 = 10% buffer for realistic zone width
SUPPORTED INSTRUMENTS WITH CME DATA:
Currency Pairs:
• EURUSD: $2,100 margin → 0.0168 zone size
• GBPUSD: $1,800 margin → 0.0144 zone size
• AUDUSD: $1,300 margin → 0.0065 zone size
• NZDUSD: $1,100 margin → 0.0055 zone size
• USDJPY: $3,200 margin → custom calculation
• USDCAD: $950 margin → calculated
• USDCHF: $1,650 margin → calculated
Commodities:
• Gold (XAUUSD): $8,000 margin → 80 points zone size
• Silver (XAGUSD): $6,500 margin → calculated
• WTI Crude Oil: $4,500 margin → calculated
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🔍 HOW IT WORKS
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
1. SWING POINT DETECTION
The indicator automatically identifies swing highs and swing lows using a configurable lookback period (default 10 bars). These become anchor points for zone calculations.
2. FIVE ZONE LEVELS
From each swing point, five zone levels are calculated:
• Zone 1/4 (25%) - First correction level
• Zone 1/2 (50%) - KEY ZONE for trend determination
• Zone 3/4 (75%) - Intermediate level
• Zone 1/1 (100%) - Full margin zone (strongest level)
• Zone 5/4 (125%) - Extended zone
3. TREND IDENTIFICATION
• Close above Zone 1/2 resistance = Bullish trend
• Close below Zone 1/2 support = Bearish trend
• Between zones = Range/consolidation
4. HISTORICAL CONTEXT
Current zones are displayed prominently with fills and labels. Historical zones appear as thin, semi-transparent lines for context without cluttering the chart.

Simple VP Shape DetectorSimple VP Shape Detector is a lightweight Pine Script tool designed to help traders quickly identify the four major Volume Profile shapes commonly used in orderflow and auction-market theory:
D-Shape (Balanced Profile)
P-Shape (Short-Covering / Buyer-Dominant)
B-Shape (Long-Liquidation / Seller-Dominant)
Thin Profile (Trend Profile)
This indicator uses candle statistics (range, body size, volume distribution approximation, and directional movement) to estimate the underlying shape of the volume profile when the full Volume Profile tool is not available.
✔️ What this indicator does
Analyzes recent bars to estimate volume concentration vs. price movement
Flags possible VP shapes using simple logic
Displays labels above/below candles showing:
“D” → Balanced
“P” → Buyer-heavy
“B” → Seller-heavy
“T” → Trending / Thin profile
Helps traders quickly identify auction conditions
✔️ Why this is useful
Volume Profile tools require premium data or heavy visual processing.
This script provides a simple, fast, CPU-light alternative that still captures the essential behavior of profile shapes.
✔️ How shapes are detected
D-Shape: small directional movement + larger body clustering
P-Shape: strong upward move + volume weighted to upper half
B-Shape: strong downward move + volume weighted to lower half
Thin: long range candles with little internal consolidation
⚠️ Disclaimer
This script is an approximation. It does NOT replace full Volume Profile tools.
It is designed as an educational / supplemental tool for market structure analysis.

— Priority level ladder (footprint‑first & ATR alignment) — (emoji = confidence • 🔥 = high • ✅ = footprint confirmed • 🟡 = medium)
🔥🟢 PM_LOW / D1 — ~659.95 → 660.50 ✅ (FOOTPRINT CONFIRMED)
Why: repeated 30m+1h absorption (sold‑into then bought up). DEEP confidence. 🧯🔁
🔥🔴 ORBH / U2 cluster — ~663.98 → 665.87 ✅ (FOOTPRINT SUPPLY)
Why: repeated rejections / sell MaxDelta rows on 30m & 1h. Treat as overhead supply / shelf. 🪓📉
🔥🟦 D3 / ORBL corridor — ~658.64 ✅ (TF confluence: 1h+4h MaxDelta)
Why: single‑row institutional sells map here; structural LVN / open‑range low. 🛡️📌
🟡⭐ START / U1 pivot zone — ~662.63 – 662.70 ✅ (session pivot, 1h absorption)
Why: session magnet—use for intraday bias pivot / quick confirms. 👀⚖️
🟡🔥 U4 / U5 upper HVN band — ~666.7 → 669.3 (ATR UPPER)
Why: strong HVN / stop‑run evidence on higher TFs — needs large buy MaxDelta to flip. 🚧🚀
⚪ D5 lower expansion support — ~654.3–656.7 (deeper target if sellers run)
Why: longer‑TF expansion area; lower immediate probability but high impact if hit. ⚠️📉
CRT / ORB Signals [Yosiet]What is the CRT Pattern?
The Counter-Retracement Pattern is a classic three-candle setup that reveals moments of market structure weakness and potential reversal. It occurs when a strong move is temporarily rejected, signaling a possible continuation.
Several names for the same candlestick pattern: CRT, ORB, Morning Star, Evening Star, and others, but I'm not going to talk about it.
Here’s the anatomy of a Bullish CRT:
Candle 1 (C1: The Signal Candle): A significant momentum candle in a downtrend.
Candle 2 (C2: The Retracement/Sweep Candle): This is the critical candle. It must sweep the low of C1 (liquidity grab / sweep) but then close with its body inside the range of C1 .
Candle 3 (C3: The Confirmation/Entry Candle): A bullish candle that closes above C2's close, confirming the pattern.
Here’s the anatomy of a Bearish CRT:
The bearish pattern is the exact inverse, sweeping the high of Candle 1.
Why This Indicator?
Clarity and Precision. This script is built for accuracy and minimalism.
No Repainting: The logic is calculated on the closed historical bars. The signal is only plotted on the entry candle (Candle 3) after it has closed.
Clean Visuals: Instead of cluttering every candle, it shows you only what you need:
Green Up Arrow: Signals a confirmed Bullish CRT, suggesting a Long entry.
Red Down Arrow: Signals a confirmed Bearish CRT, suggesting a Short entry.
Faint Circles: Subtle white circles mark the high/low of Candle 1 and Candle 2, helping you visually trace the pattern structure without obstruction.
High Volume Bars (Advanced)High Volume Bars (Advanced)
High Volume Bars (Advanced) is a Pine Script v6 indicator for TradingView that highlights bars with unusually high volume, with several ways to define “unusual”:
Classic: volume > moving average + N × standard deviation
Change-based: large change in volume vs previous bar
Z-score: statistically extreme volume values
Robust mode (optional): median + MAD, less sensitive to outliers
It can:
Recolor candles when volume is high
Optionally highlight the background
Optionally plot volume bands (center ± spread × multiplier)
⸻
1. How it works
At each bar the script:
Picks the volume source:
If Use Volume Change vs Previous Bar? is off → uses raw volume
If on → uses abs(volume - volume )
Computes baseline statistics over the chosen source:
Lookback bars
Moving average (SMA or EMA)
Standard deviation
Optionally replaces mean/std with robust stats:
Center = median (50th percentile)
Spread = MAD (median absolute deviation, scaled to approx σ)
Builds bands:
upper = center + spread * multiplier
lower = max(center - spread * multiplier, 0)
Flags a bar as “high volume” if:
It passes the mode logic:
Classic abs: volume > upper
Change mode: abs(volume - volume ) > upper
Z-score mode: z-score ≥ multiplier
AND the relative filter (optional): volume > average_volume * Min Volume vs Avg
AND it is past the first Skip First N Bars from the start of the chart
Colors the bar and (optionally) the background accordingly.
⸻
2. Inputs
2.1. Statistics
Lookback (len)
Number of bars used to compute the baseline stats (mean / median, std / MAD).
Typical values: 50–200.
StdDev / Z-Score Multiplier (mult)
How far from the baseline a bar must be to count as “high volume”.
In classic mode: volume > mean + mult × std
In z-score mode: z ≥ mult
Typical values: 1.0–2.5.
Use EMA Instead of SMA? (smooth_with_ema)
Off → uses SMA (slower but smoother).
On → uses EMA (reacts faster to recent changes).
Use Robust Stats (Median & MAD)? (use_robust)
Off → mean + standard deviation
On → median + MAD (less sensitive to a few insane spikes)
Useful for assets with occasional volume blow-ups.
⸻
2.2. Detection Mode
These inputs control how “unusual” is defined.
• Use Volume Change vs Previous Bar? (mode_change)
• Off (default) → uses absolute volume.
• On → uses abs(volume - volume ).
You then detect jumps in volume rather than absolute size.
Note: This is ignored if Z-Score mode is switched on (see below).
• Use Z-Score on Volume? (Overrides change) (mode_zscore)
• Off → high volume when raw value exceeds the upper band.
• On → computes z-score = (value − center) / spread and flags a bar as high when z ≥ multiplier.
Z-score mode can be combined with robust stats for more stable thresholds.
• Min Volume vs Avg (Filter) (min_rel_mult)
An extra filter to ignore tiny-volume bars that are statistically “weird” but not meaningful.
• 0.0 → no filter (all stats-based candidates allowed).
• 1.0 → high-volume bar must also be at least equal to average volume.
• 1.5 → bar must be ≥ 1.5 × average volume.
• Skip First N Bars (from start of chart) (skip_open_bars)
Skips the first N bars of the chart when evaluating high-volume conditions.
This is mostly a safety / cosmetic option to avoid weird behavior on very early bars or backfill.
⸻
2.3. Visuals
• Show Volume Bands? (show_bands)
• If on, plots:
• Upper band (upper)
• Lower band (lower)
• Center line (vol_center)
These are plotted on the same pane as the script (usually the price chart).
• Also Highlight Background? (use_bg)
• If on, fills the background on high-volume bars with High-Vol Background.
• High-Vol Bar Transparency (0–100) (bar_transp)
Controls the opacity of the high-volume bar colors (up / down).
• 0 → fully opaque
• 100 → fully transparent (no visible effect)
• Up Color (upColor) / Down Color (dnColor)
• Regular bar colors (non high-volume) for up and down bars.
• Up High-Vol Base Color (upHighVolBase) / Down High-Vol Base Color (dnHighVolBase)
Base colors used for high-volume up/down bars. Transparency is applied on top of these via bar_transp.
• High-Vol Background (bgHighVolColor)
Background color used when Also Highlight Background? is enabled.
⸻
3. What gets colored and how
• Bar color (barcolor)
• Up bar:
• High volume → Up High-Vol Color
• Normal volume → Up Color
• Down bar:
• High volume → Down High-Vol Color
• Normal volume → Down Color
• Flat bar → neutral gray
• Background color (bgcolor)
• If Also Highlight Background? is on, high-volume bars get High-Vol Background.
• Otherwise, background is unchanged.
⸻
4. Alerts
The indicator exposes three alert conditions:
• High Volume Bar
Triggers whenever is_high is true (up or down).
• High Volume Up Bar
Triggers only when is_high is true and the bar closed up (close > open).
• High Volume Down Bar
Triggers only when is_high is true and the bar closed down (close < open).
You can use these in TradingView’s “Create Alert” dialog to:
• Get notified of potential breakout / exhaustion bars.
• Trigger webhook events for bots / custom infra.
⸻
5. Recommended presets
5.1. “Classic” high-volume detector (closest to original)
• Lookback: 150–200
• StdDev / Z-Score Multiplier: 1.0–1.5
• Use EMA Instead of SMA?: off
• Use Robust Stats?: off
• Use Volume Change vs Previous Bar?: off
• Use Z-Score on Volume?: off
• Min Volume vs Avg (Filter): 0.0–1.0
Behavior: Flags bars whose volume is notably above the recent average (plus a bit of noise filtering), same spirit as your initial implementation.
⸻
5.2. Volatility-aware (Z-score) mode
• Lookback: 100–200
• StdDev / Z-Score Multiplier: 1.5–2.0
• Use EMA Instead of SMA?: on
• Use Robust Stats?: on (if asset has huge spikes)
• Use Volume Change vs Previous Bar?: off (ignored anyway in z-score mode)
• Use Z-Score on Volume?: on
• Min Volume vs Avg (Filter): 0.5–1.0
Behavior: Flags bars that are “statistically extreme” relative to recent volume behavior, not just absolutely large. Good for assets where baseline volume drifts over time.
⸻
5.3. “Wake-up bar” (volume acceleration)
• Lookback: 50–100
• StdDev / Z-Score Multiplier: 1.0–1.5
• Use EMA Instead of SMA?: on
• Use Robust Stats?: optional
• Use Volume Change vs Previous Bar?: on
• Use Z-Score on Volume?: off
• Min Volume vs Avg (Filter): 0.5–1.0
Behavior: Emphasis on sudden increases in volume rather than absolute size – useful to catch “first active bar” after a quiet period.
⸻
6. Limitations / notes
• Time-of-day effects
The script currently treats the entire chart as one continuous “session”. On 24/7 markets (crypto) this is fine. For regular-session assets (equities, futures), volume naturally spikes at open/close; you may want to:
• Use a shorter Lookback, or
• Add a session-aware filter in a future iteration.
• Illiquid symbols
On very low-liquidity symbols, robust stats (Use Robust Stats) and a non-zero Min Volume vs Avg can help avoid “everything looks extreme” problems.
• Overlay behavior
overlay = true means:
• Bars are recolored on the price pane.
• Volume bands are also drawn on the price pane if enabled.
If you want a dedicated panel for the bands, duplicate the logic in a separate script with overlay = false.
