PPAO - Propagator Price Action Oscillator
How PPAO works in one cycle (what it does every candle)
PPAO has 3 moving parts that run every bar:
1) It measures new candle pressure (the “push”)
This is the forcing term.
Return (ret): did price go up or down from last close?
Body: did the candle close above or below its open?
CLV: did the candle close near the high or near the low of its range?
With Option B, the “price action push” is directional:
Body is positive on bullish candles, negative on bearish candles.
CLV is:
near +1 if the candle closes near the high (buying strength),
near -1 if it closes near the low (selling strength).
So a candle that closes weak (near the low) pushes PPAO downward even if the candle range is large.
2) It decides how much to remember vs forget (the “friction”)
This is damping / decay.
High volatility (noisy market) → forget faster
Low volatility (cleaner market) → remember longer
So PPAO adapts: in chop it won’t hold bias for long; in smooth trends it will.
3) It updates a hidden “momentum engine” (state)
Internally it keeps two numbers (p and q) that store the market’s impulse with memory.
Every candle:
it shrinks the old state (decay),
rotates it a bit (momentum/volatility creates oscillation),
then adds the candle push (forcing).
Finally, it converts that hidden state into a 0–100 line:
> 50 means the state is aligned bullish,
< 50 means it’s aligned bearish.
The image below will give you an example of a deep analysis using the Propagator Price Action Oscillator (PPAO).
PPAO below 30
What that means mechanically
Below 30 = bearish impulse extreme.
It happens when the recent candles are consistently “bearish pressure” according to the forcing inputs:
returns are negative and/or
candles close weak inside their range (CLV negative) and/or
bodies are bearish (close < open)
Also, if volatility is elevated, damping can make this flip faster and stay extreme during a strong impulse.
What it means behaviorally
PPAO < 30 is not “prediction.” It is diagnosis:
“Recent candle pressure has been strongly bearish.”
This can show up in two common market contexts:
Continuation context
Price is breaking structure down, and candles keep closing weak → PPAO stays < 30.
Distribution / hidden weakness context (important)
Price may look stable or near a high, but candles are repeatedly closing poorly inside their ranges (negative CLV).
That makes PPAO drop under 30 even if price hasn’t collapsed yet.
That second case is exactly why Option B (Body + CLV) is useful: it can flag weak closes / selling absorption earlier than “price-only” oscillators.
PPAO above 70
What that means mechanically
Above 70 = bullish impulse extreme.
It occurs when the forcing inputs are strongly positive:
returns are positive and/or
candles close strong inside their range (CLV positive) and/or
bodies are bullish (close > open)
If volatility is not exploding, damping won’t erase the accumulated bullish state quickly, so PPAO can stay above 70 during sustained buying pressure.
What it means behaviorally
Again: not a prophecy, but an impulse read:
“Recent candle pressure has been strongly bullish.”
Two common contexts:
Trend continuation
Price is pushing higher and closes are strong → PPAO remains > 70.
Exhaustion risk
If price is hitting major resistance/liquidity and you start seeing weaker closes (CLV drops) while PPAO stops making new highs → that’s where reversals begin to appear.
The key takeaway using both images
PPAO extremes are best understood as:
Below 30: “Sellers are currently dominating candle pressure.”
Above 70: “Buyers are currently dominating candle pressure.”
Whether that dominance leads to continuation or reversal depends on what price does next (structure + where you are on the chart). PPAO is measuring pressure, not guaranteeing outcome.
Candlestick analysis
ICT Professional OB HunterICT Professional OB Hunter
A professional-grade Order Block mapping tool designed for traders following Smart Money Concepts to track institutional order flow and significant market structures.
This tool identifies validated Order Blocks with Break of Structure confirmation, filtering out market noise and focusing only on high-probability levels where institutional participation is evident.
How It Works
The script operates without repainting, using historical swing highs and lows as reference points rather than future data. Three core criteria must be satisfied before an Order Block is drawn:
Strong Candle Formation: The candle must have a significant body (no dojis), exceeding the ATR threshold—indicating genuine institutional participation rather than indecision.
Displacement: Following the Order Block candle, price must move with momentum exceeding 1.5x the ATR. This captures true "market shifting" moves while ignoring slow, low-volume price action.
Break of Structure: Price must definitively break the previous swing high or low to confirm momentum before the Order Block is validated and drawn.
What You See on the Chart
Thick Blue Lines: Bullish Order Blocks representing demand zones where price historically finds support and reacts upward.
Thick Orange Lines: Bearish Order Blocks representing supply zones that act as resistance.
Yellow Boxes: OTE (Optimal Trade Entry) zones between the 50% and 61.8% retracement levels of the Order Block—ICT's preferred fib confluence area for precision entries.
Dashed Lines: Breaker Blocks indicating former Order Blocks that have been violated by price and now act as reverse levels or "mitigated" areas.
Key Differences from Standard Tools
Most available Order Block indicators mark every red or green candle indiscriminately, creating excessive noise and poor trading opportunities. This code implements a displacement filter to capture only structures formed after significant, volume-backed institutional moves. It contains no future reference or repainting logic—all decisions finalize strictly on bar close based on confirmed historical data.
Settings
Displacement Lookback (2-5 bars): Determines how many subsequent bars to analyze for momentum confirmation after the initial Order Block candle. Three bars provides the optimal balance between responsiveness and confirmation.
ATR Multiplier (0.5+): Sets the sensitivity for displacement detection. A value of 1.5 works well for Gold (XAU/USD). Lower values generate more Order Blocks but decrease quality and reliability.
Mitigation Zones: Toggle the display of OTE (Optimal Trade Entry) boxes on or off.
Usage Recommendations
This indicator is not a standalone buy/sell signal generator—it marks zones where institutional capital is likely positioned.
Recommended approach:
Apply to 15-minute or 1-hour charts, particularly during the New York session (14:30-17:00 EST) when institutional volume peaks.
Wait for price to reach the confluence of the Blue Line and Yellow OTE box.
The setup invalidates if price closes below the OTE zone boundary.
When Orange lines transition to dashed (Breaker Block), recognize that former support has become resistance; adjust position management accordingly.
Risk Warning
This is a statistical model based on historical price behavior, not a "holy grail" solution. Market conditions change, particularly during high-volatility macroeconomic news events (FOMC, CPI, NFP), where Order Blocks may fail. Always employ stop-loss protection and integrate this tool as one component of a comprehensive risk management strategy rather than relying on it exclusively.
Written in Pine Script v6 utilizing array structures for efficient real-time line updates and optimized for performance even on older hardware configurations.
Developer Note: Historical backtest analysis indicates that BOS-validated Order Blocks, particularly in Gold (XAU/USD) and major indices, demonstrate improved win rates when combined with disciplined entry criteria and proper risk management. However, the market retains ultimate authority—respect price action above all indicators.

Crypto MMFCrypto MMF Indicator:
The Crypto Money Flow (MMF) indicator represents an advanced technical analysis tool specifically designed for cryptocurrency markets. This document outlines the logical foundation for its component integration, explains the synergistic mechanisms between its constituent elements, and provides practical implementation guidance without making unrealistic performance claims.
Integration Rationale
Volume-Weighted Momentum Analysis
The primary integration rationale combines price momentum with trading volume—two fundamental market dimensions frequently analyzed in isolation. Traditional momentum oscillators like RSI measure price velocity but ignore transaction volume, potentially misrepresenting conviction behind price movements. By multiplying price changes by corresponding volume, the indicator creates a conviction-weighted momentum measure that distinguishes between high-volume breakouts and low-volume price fluctuations.
The theoretical foundation for this integration stems from market microstructure theory, which posits that volume accompanies informed trading. In cryptocurrency markets—where volatility is pronounced and manipulation attempts occur—volume confirmation provides valuable filtering of meaningful price movements from noise.
Multi-Timeframe Momentum Convergence
The second integration layer incorporates higher timeframe analysis, acknowledging that markets function across temporal hierarchies. While shorter timeframes offer precision for entry and exit timing, longer timeframes establish directional bias and filter out insignificant counter-trend movements. This multi-timeframe approach follows established technical analysis principles that prioritize trend alignment across time horizons.
This integration is particularly relevant for cryptocurrency traders, as these markets exhibit strong momentum characteristics where higher timeframe trends often dominate shorter-term fluctuations. The higher timeframe component serves as both a trend filter and early warning system for momentum divergences.
Component Synergy Mechanism
Core Calculation Components
Price-Volume Integration Engine
The indicator begins by calculating the average of open, high, low, and close prices (OHLC4), providing a balanced price representation less susceptible to intra-period anomalies. This value undergoes differencing to establish direction, then multiplies by volume to create volume-weighted momentum values. This transformation produces two separate data streams: upward volume-weighted momentum and downward volume-weighted momentum.
Exponential Smoothing Application
Both momentum streams undergo exponential smoothing using Wilder's Relative Moving Average methodology. This approach applies greater weight to recent observations while maintaining memory of historical patterns, striking an optimal balance between responsiveness and noise reduction. The smoothed upward and downward momentum values create a ratio representing the relative strength between buying and selling pressure.
Normalization Process
The momentum ratio undergoes mathematical normalization to produce a bounded oscillator ranging from 0 to 100. This normalization enables consistent interpretation across different market conditions, timeframes, and cryptocurrency pairs, establishing standardized overbought and oversold thresholds.
Multi-Timeframe Synchronization System
Hierarchical Timeframe Calculation
The indicator dynamically determines appropriate higher timeframes based on user-defined multipliers and current chart intervals. This automated calculation eliminates manual timeframe selection errors while ensuring logical temporal relationships between analyzed periods.
Cross-Timeframe Data Retrieval
A secure data retrieval mechanism accesses higher timeframe momentum calculations without introducing future bias or repainting. This process maintains data integrity while enabling direct comparison between current and higher timeframe momentum conditions.
Higher Timeframe Smoothing Layer
An additional exponential moving average smooths the higher timeframe data, reducing noise and creating a stable reference signal for divergence analysis. This smoothing parameter is independently adjustable, allowing users to balance sensitivity and stability according to their trading style.
Signal Generation Framework
Threshold-Based Zone Analysis
The indicator establishes three operational zones based on statistical observations of momentum extremes:
Neutral zone (25-75): Represents balanced market conditions
Lower extreme zone (0-25): Indicates potential oversold conditions
Upper extreme zone (75-100): Indicates potential overbought conditions
These threshold levels derive from empirical observations of momentum oscillator behavior in trending and ranging cryptocurrency markets, though optimal values may vary across different market regimes.
Conditional Signal Categorization
The system monitors four distinct momentum conditions:
Initial extreme readings: Momentum enters extreme zones without confirmation
Confirmed extremes: Smoothed momentum follows into extreme zones
Multi-timeframe alignment: Current and higher timeframe momentum move in concert
Multi-timeframe divergence: Current and higher timeframe momentum diverge
Each condition category carries different interpretive implications, with stronger signals emerging when multiple conditions converge.
Practical Implementation Guidelines
Functional Applications
Trend Confirmation Protocol
When price trends directionally with momentum maintaining consistent readings above or below the midpoint (50), and higher timeframe momentum confirms the direction, this suggests sustainable trend conditions. The volume-weighting component further validates whether significant trading activity supports the price movement.
Divergence Detection Methodology
Three divergence types merit monitoring:
Classic divergence: Price reaches new extremes while momentum fails to confirm
Hidden divergence: Price retraces within a trend while momentum suggests trend continuation
Timeframe divergence: Momentum moves opposite directions across timeframes
Divergence analysis proves most reliable when occurring in conjunction with other technical factors such as support/resistance levels or chart patterns.
Zone-Based Risk Assessment
The oscillator's bounded nature facilitates structured risk assessment:
Extreme zone entries: Higher potential reward but require confirmation
Neutral zone movements: Lower signal clarity but potentially favorable risk-reward ratios
Zone transitions: Often precede accelerated price movements
Parameter Configuration Philosophy
Core Parameter Settings
The default parameters balance responsiveness and reliability across diverse cryptocurrency market conditions. The 14-period calculation length aligns with conventional momentum oscillator standards, providing sufficient data for meaningful smoothing while maintaining sensitivity to recent market developments.
Multi-Timeframe Multiplier Selection
The default 3x multiplier creates meaningful temporal separation without introducing excessive lag. This multiplier proves particularly effective for swing trading horizons, though position traders may benefit from larger multipliers while shorter-term traders might reduce this value.
Smoothing Parameter Considerations
Dual smoothing parameters (primary and higher timeframe) allow independent adjustment of sensitivity. More volatile cryptocurrency pairs typically benefit from increased smoothing, while less volatile conditions may permit reduced smoothing for earlier signal generation.
Interpretation Protocol
Step 1: Momentum Context Assessment
Begin analysis by determining the current momentum context:
Absolute level relative to threshold zones
Direction and velocity of recent momentum changes
Relationship to the midpoint (50) level
Step 2: Timeframe Alignment Evaluation
Compare current and higher timeframe momentum:
Confirm directional alignment for trend trading
Identify divergences for potential reversal scenarios
Assess convergence strength for position sizing decisions
Step 3: Volume Confirmation Analysis
Evaluate whether recent volume patterns support momentum readings:
Extreme momentum with declining volume: Caution warranted
Neutral momentum with increasing volume: Potential breakout precursor
Confirmed momentum with expanding volume: Higher conviction signal
Step 4: Market Context Integration
Correlate momentum readings with broader market context:
Correlated cryptocurrency movements
Overall market capitalization trends
Relevant news or fundamental developments
Originality and Differentiation
Innovative Design Elements
Volume-Integrated Momentum Calculation
Unlike conventional momentum oscillators that analyze price in isolation, this indicator integrates volume as a conviction multiplier. This integration follows logical market principles where volume validates price movements, creating a more robust momentum assessment particularly valuable in cryptocurrency markets where volume manipulation attempts occasionally occur.
Dynamic Timeframe Adaptation
The automated timeframe calculation system eliminates manual timeframe selection while ensuring logical temporal relationships. This approach reduces user error and maintains consistency across different charting intervals and trading instruments.
Multi-Layer Confirmation Framework
The indicator employs three analytical layers: raw momentum, smoothed momentum, and higher timeframe momentum. This layered approach provides graduated confirmation levels, allowing traders to distinguish between preliminary signals and confirmed conditions.
Theoretical Foundations
The indicator's design incorporates elements from multiple technical analysis disciplines:
Momentum analysis principles from oscillator theory
Volume-price relationships from market microstructure
Multi-timeframe analysis from hierarchical trend theory
Statistical normalization from quantitative analysis
This interdisciplinary approach creates a comprehensive tool addressing multiple dimensions of market analysis rather than focusing on isolated phenomena.
Risk Management Integration
Signal Quality Assessment
The indicator facilitates signal quality evaluation through multiple confirmation requirements:
Primary momentum extreme reading
Smoothed momentum confirmation
Higher timeframe alignment or constructive divergence
Supporting volume characteristics
Signal strength varies with the number of confirmed elements, enabling proportionate position sizing and risk allocation.
False Signal Mitigation
Several design elements reduce false signal susceptibility:
Volume-weighting filters low-conviction price movements
Exponential smoothing reduces noise-induced fluctuations
Multi-timeframe analysis filters counter-trend movements
Graduated confirmation requirements prevent premature action
These mechanisms collectively improve signal reliability while acknowledging that no technical indicator eliminates false signals entirely.
Implementation Considerations
Cryptocurrency Market Specificity
The indicator incorporates design elements particularly relevant to cryptocurrency markets:
24/7 market operation accommodation
High volatility regime compatibility
Volume data availability considerations
Cross-market correlation awareness
These adaptations enhance effectiveness in cryptocurrency trading environments while maintaining applicability to traditional financial markets.
Customization Guidelines
Users may adjust parameters based on:
Trading timeframe (scalping, day trading, swing trading)
Cryptocurrency pair characteristics (volatility, volume profile)
Risk tolerance and trading style
Market regime (trending, ranging, transitional)
Empirical testing across different parameter sets and market conditions provides the most reliable customization guidance.
Conclusion
The Crypto MMF indicator represents a logically integrated analytical tool combining volume-weighted momentum analysis with multi-timeframe perspective. Its component synergy creates a comprehensive market assessment framework while maintaining practical implementation feasibility. Users should integrate this tool within broader trading methodologies, combining its signals with additional technical, fundamental, and risk management considerations.
The indicator's value derives from its structured approach to market analysis rather than predictive capabilities. By providing organized information about momentum, volume relationships, and timeframe interactions, it supports informed trading decisions within appropriate risk parameters.

EURUSD Timing Composite (5-Component)Overview
An advanced multi-component oscillator designed specifically for intraday EURUSD trading. This indicator synthesizes four correlated FX pairs plus US yield dynamics to isolate genuine EUR strength and USD weakness from market noise, providing high-probability timing signals through multi-layer cross-validation.
Components & Methodology
The indicator employs z-score normalization (default 20-period lookback) to harmonize five distinct market signals into a unified composite reading:
Primary USD Strength Signals (50%):
GBPUSD (25%) - GBP/USD serves as a USD strength proxy with high correlation to EURUSD
-USDCHF (25%) - Inverted USD/CHF provides independent USD strength confirmation
Yield Differential Signal (25%):
-US02Y (25%) - Inverted 2-Year Treasury yield captures Fed policy expectations and rate differentials
EUR-Specific Strength Signals (25%):
EURGBP (12.5%) - EUR/GBP isolates EUR performance against its closest rival
EURCHF (12.5%) - EUR/CHF confirms broad EUR strength beyond USD dynamics
Key Features
✅ Triple-Layer Validation - Combines USD FX signals, yield differentials, and EUR crosses
✅ Rate Differential Integration - Captures Fed policy repricing and carry trade dynamics
✅ Cross-Pair Confirmation - Filters false signals from GBP/CHF-specific events
✅ Alignment Indicator - Visual dots highlight when 4+ components agree (high-confidence setups)
✅ Mean-Reversion Zones - Overbought/oversold thresholds at ±1.5 standard deviations
✅ Clean Visualization - Candle-based display (no wicks) for rapid interpretation
How to Use
Basic Signals:
Green candles = Bullish EURUSD pressure (EUR strengthening / USD weakening / yields falling)
Red candles = Bearish EURUSD pressure (EUR weakening / USD strengthening / yields rising)
Above +1.5 = Overbought zone → look for mean-reversion shorts
Below -1.5 = Oversold zone → look for mean-reversion longs
High-Confidence Setups (Alignment Dots):
Lime dot at top = 4+ components bullish → strong long bias
Magenta dot at bottom = 4+ components bearish → strong short bias
No dots = Mixed signals → reduce position size or wait for clarity
Divergence Trading:
EURUSD makes new high but composite doesn't confirm → potential reversal down
EURUSD makes new low but composite doesn't confirm → potential reversal up
Best Practices
Timeframes: 5-minute to 15-minute charts for intraday trading
Session Focus: London session and London/New York overlap (peak EUR liquidity)
Pair With: Key technical levels, pivot points, or session open ranges
Risk Management: Scale position size based on alignment strength (larger when dots appear)
Component Interpretation:
GBPUSD + USDCHF + US02Y all aligned = USD-driven move (highest confidence)
EURGBP + EURCHF both strong = EUR-specific strength (independent of USD)
All five aligned = Maximum confidence (broad market agreement)
FX pairs vs yields diverging = Mixed regime (be cautious)
Weight Adjustments:
Fed data days (CPI, NFP, FOMC): Increase US02Y weight to 35%, reduce FX to 20% each
Brexit/BOE events: Reduce GBPUSD to 15%, increase EURCHF to 20%
ECB policy days: Increase EUR cross weights (EURGBP/EURCHF) to 17.5% each
SNB intervention risk: Monitor USDCHF and EURCHF for anomalies
Technical Details
Calculation Method: Z-score normalization with configurable lookback period
Default Weights: GBPUSD 25% | -USDCHF 25% | -US02Y 25% | EURGBP 12.5% | EURCHF 12.5%
Extreme Threshold: ±1.5 standard deviations (adjustable)
Alignment Trigger: 4 out of 5 components in agreement
Customizable Parameters:
Z-score lookback period (default: 20)
Individual component weights
Extreme threshold levels
Alignment indicator toggle
Advantages Over Simple Indicators
Unlike single-pair or DXY-based indicators, this composite:
Integrates yield dynamics - Captures Fed repricing that drives USD independently of FX flows
Isolates EUR strength - EUR crosses separate EUR-specific moves from USD dynamics
Triple confirmation - FX pairs + yields + EUR crosses must align for high-confidence signals
Filters rate/FX divergence - When yields and FX disagree, indicator shows mixed signals
Regime adaptability - Adjustable weights for different market conditions
Understanding Component Relationships
Normal Correlation Environment:
GBPUSD ↑ + USDCHF ↓ + US02Y ↓ → USD weakness → EURUSD ↑
EURGBP ↑ + EURCHF ↑ → EUR strength → EURUSD ↑
When Components Diverge (Critical Signals):
FX says USD weak, but US02Y rising → Yields attracting capital despite FX → Weak EURUSD signal
GBPUSD ↑ but EURGBP ↓ → GBP-specific strength, not EUR → Neutral for EURUSD
Only yields moving, FX flat → Pure rate story, wait for FX confirmation
Only EUR crosses rising → EUR strength independent of USD → Strong EUR-specific signal
Regime Examples:
Fed hawkish surprise: US02Y spikes (bearish), FX confirms → Strong EURUSD short
ECB policy shift: EURGBP/EURCHF move, but USD signals mixed → EUR-specific trade
Risk-off: All USD signals bullish, EUR crosses bearish → Maximum EURUSD short confidence
Suggested Complementary Analysis
ECB vs Fed policy divergence and forward guidance
US-Germany 2-year yield differential
European equity market performance (Euro Stoxx 50)
EUR-denominated commodity prices
PMI differentials (Eurozone vs US)
Political risk events (elections, Brexit, fiscal policy)
Real yield differentials (when TIPS data available)
Limitations & Considerations
Fed/ECB simultaneous announcements can create temporary whipsaws
Brexit volatility may distort GBPUSD signals (reduce weight during UK events)
SNB interventions spike USDCHF/EURCHF (monitor for anomalies)
Yield curve inversions may affect US02Y signal interpretation
Works best in normal conditions (less reliable during market dislocations)
Requires understanding of intermarket dynamics for optimal use

SIDDAMRAJUThat is fantastic news! I am really glad we finally nailed it.
To recap, the "magic" that made this version work where the others failed was:
Auto-Reset: It forces a fresh start every morning, even if the price gaps up 200 points.
Continuous Hunting: It doesn't stop after the first confirmation; if the market crashes lower, it adapts instantly.
Back-Anchoring: Using lowBar as the start point ensures the line is visually connected to the exact candle wick.

Infinity XAUUSD (Gold Spot) Cycle EngineThis indicator is a time-based cycle mapping tool designed for Gold (XAUUSD and related feeds).
It identifies repeating bar-count timing structures in historical price data rather than forecasting price targets.
The script combines cycle timing proximity, basic directional alignment, and volatility-based runway context into a single chart overlay and summary table. It is intended to provide structured context, not trade signals or predictions.
What This Script Displays
1) Cycle Map (42-Bar Structure)
The script applies a fixed 42-bar repeating cycle to Gold price history.
Each cycle is divided into 9 predefined timing points (P1–P9), drawn as vertical dotted lines on the chart.
Past and current cycles are displayed for historical reference, with optional forward time projection for structural context only.
Optional timing windows visualize bar-distance proximity to each cycle point.
This component is time-based only and does not generate price targets.
2) Directional Confluence (Table-Based)
A lightweight directional filter evaluates short-term alignment using a moving-average reference and smoothed momentum comparison.
The output is a simple directional state: Long, Short, or Stand Aside.
This module is designed as a directional filter, not a standalone signal generator.
3) Reward-to-Risk Context
A volatility component uses ATR-based ranges to estimate whether price has available movement relative to recent volatility.
The result is expressed as a relative quality score, not a price target or forecast.
4) Composite Setup Score
The table combines the three components into a single Setup Score (0–100) using fixed weights:
Directional Confluence (50%)
Cycle Map Proximity (30%)
Reward-to-Risk Context (20%)
The score functions as a contextual alignment measure, not a trading instruction.
5) Bias & Inversion Control
A single Inversion switch allows users to flip the displayed Long/Short bias in the table and optional markers.
This does not alter the underlying calculations or plotted cycle structure.
How to Use
Apply the indicator to a Gold symbol (XAUUSD or related feeds).
Use the cycle map to understand where price is within a repeating time structure, not where it “should go.”
Use the table to assess whether directional alignment and volatility conditions are supportive.
The indicator is designed to be used standalone. Other tools are not required for operation.
Chart Setup Notes
This script plots price-aligned objects and should be merged with the chart’s price scale for correct visual alignment.
The script uses extended historical data to draw past cycles. Symbols or data feeds with limited historical bars may not display the full cycle structure.
Symbol Scope
This script is asset-specific and calibrated for Gold.
A built-in symbol lock can restrict rendering to Gold symbols to prevent misapplication.
Important Notes
This indicator does not predict price or guarantee outcomes.
Cycle points represent timing reference zones, not reversal guarantees.
Always combine with independent analysis and risk management.

Gold Timing Composite (EURUSD + DXY + US02Y)Here's the publication-ready description for TradingView:
Gold Timing Composite Indicator - 3-Component Model
Overview
A precision-engineered multi-component oscillator designed specifically for intraday gold trading. This indicator synthesizes three critical market drivers—EUR/USD dynamics, broad US Dollar strength, and Treasury yield movements—to isolate genuine gold price catalysts from market noise, delivering high-probability timing signals through triple-layer confirmation.
Components & Methodology
The indicator employs z-score normalization (default 20-period lookback) to harmonize three distinct but correlated market signals into a unified composite reading:
Fast Price Discovery Signal (40%):
EURUSD (40%) - EUR/USD captures rapid USD repricing with the deepest FX liquidity globally
Broad USD Strength Confirmation (35%):
-DXY (35%) - Inverted US Dollar Index measures comprehensive USD strength across six major currencies (EUR 57%, JPY 14%, GBP 12%, CAD 9%, SEK 4%, CHF 4%)
Real Yield Proxy (25%):
-US02Y (25%) - Inverted 2-Year Treasury yield captures Fed policy expectations and real rate dynamics
Key Features
✅ Dual USD Validation - EURUSD (speed) + DXY (breadth) filter EUR-specific moves from true USD weakness
✅ Real Yield Sensitivity - US02Y isolates rate-driven gold moves from pure currency effects
✅ Triple Confirmation System - Visual alignment dots when all three components agree simultaneously
✅ Mean-Reversion Zones - Overbought/oversold thresholds at ±1.5 standard deviations
✅ Clean Visualization - Candle-based display (no wicks) for rapid pattern recognition
✅ EUR/USD Divergence Detection - Identifies when EURUSD moves are EUR-specific vs broad USD moves
How to Use
Basic Signals:
Green candles = Bullish gold pressure (USD weakening / yields falling)
Red candles = Bearish gold pressure (USD strengthening / yields rising)
Above +1.5 = Overbought zone → look for mean-reversion shorts
Below -1.5 = Oversold zone → look for mean-reversion longs
High-Confidence Setups (Alignment Dots):
Lime dot at top = All 3 components bullish → maximum gold long confidence
Magenta dot at bottom = All 3 components bearish → maximum gold short confidence
No dots = Components diverging → reduce position size or wait for clarity
Divergence Trading:
Gold makes new high but composite doesn't confirm → potential reversal down
Gold makes new low but composite doesn't confirm → potential reversal up

EURUSD ↑ + DXY ↓ + US02Y ↓ → Broad USD weakness + falling yields → Strong gold bull signal
EURUSD ↓ + DXY ↑ + US02Y ↑ → Broad USD strength + rising yields → Strong gold bear signal
EURUSD/DXY Divergence (Critical Filter):
EURUSD ↑ but DXY flat/up → EUR-specific strength (ECB, Eurozone news) → Weak gold signal
DXY flat = USD not actually weak, just EUR strong → Gold may not follow EURUSD
EURUSD flat but DXY ↓ → Broad USD weakness (JPY, GBP, CAD all strong) → Strong gold signal
True USD weakness beyond just EUR → High-probability gold long
FX vs Yields Divergence:
EURUSD ↑ + DXY ↓ but US02Y ↑ → USD weak in FX but yields rising → Mixed signal
Hawkish Fed repricing vs currency weakness → Medium confidence, smaller size
EURUSD ↓ + DXY ↑ but US02Y ↓ → USD strong but yields falling → Conflicting drivers
Could be risk-off (safe haven bid to Treasuries) → Analyze broader market context
Best Practices
Timeframes: 5-minute to 15-minute charts for intraday trading
Session Focus: London fix (10:30 AM GMT) and New York open (8:20 AM EST) for peak gold liquidity
Pair With:
Key gold technical levels (round numbers, previous highs/lows)
COMEX gold futures volume profile
Real yield charts (when available)
VIX for risk sentiment context
Risk Management:
Full position: When alignment dots appear (all 3 components agree)
Half position: When 2 of 3 components align
Wait/reduce: When all three components diverge
Weight Adjustments:
Fed announcement days (FOMC, CPI, NFP): Increase US02Y to 35%, reduce EURUSD to 35%
ECB policy days: Monitor EURUSD/DXY divergence closely (EUR-specific moves may not affect gold)
Geopolitical events: DXY and yields may diverge (safe-haven flows) → Focus on DXY + yields, reduce EURUSD weight
Asian session: EURUSD less reliable (lower liquidity), consider increasing DXY weight to 45%

Advantages Over Simple Indicators
Unlike single-instrument or DXY-only indicators, this composite:
Filters EUR-specific noise - When EURUSD moves but DXY doesn't confirm, gold often doesn't follow
Combines speed + breadth - EURUSD for fast entries, DXY for broad confirmation
Isolates real yield drivers - US02Y separates rate-driven moves from pure FX effects
Identifies regime shifts - When FX and yields diverge, signals changing market dynamics
Adaptable weighting - Adjust for different sessions, events, or market regimes
Real-World Signal Examples
Example 1: High-Confidence Long (All Aligned)
Fed dovish surprise → US02Y falls sharply
USD sells off → EURUSD rises + DXY falls
Composite surges, lime dot appears
Action: Full position gold long
Example 2: False Signal (EUR-Specific)
ECB hawkish statement → EURUSD rallies
But DXY unchanged (JPY, GBP, CAD not moving)
US02Y also unchanged
Composite rises but no alignment dot
Action: Small/no gold position (move is EUR-specific, not USD weakness)
Example 3: Mixed Signal (FX vs Yields)
Strong US jobs data → US02Y spikes (bearish gold)
But USD sells off in FX → EURUSD up + DXY down (bullish gold)
Composite shows divergence, no dots
Action: Wait for clarity or trade with tight stops
Example 4: Divergence Entry
Gold makes new intraday high
But composite fails to confirm (makes lower high)
Bearish divergence forms
Action: Short gold on next pullback
Suggested Complementary Analysis
Fundamental:
Fed vs ECB policy divergence and forward guidance
Real yield trends (10Y TIPS when available)
Inflation expectations (breakevens)
Central bank balance sheet changes
Geopolitical risk premium

Intermarket:
US equity market performance (risk-on/risk-off context)
Crude oil (inflation proxy)
Copper (growth expectations)
Bitcoin correlation (alternative store of value narrative)
Limitations & Considerations
When the Indicator Struggles:
Flash crashes or circuit breakers - Extreme events can break normal correlations temporarily
Asian session gaps - Lower EURUSD liquidity can cause false signals
Central bank interventions - SNB or BOJ FX intervention distorts DXY temporarily
Geopolitical shocks - Gold can decouple from USD/yields during wars, crises (safe-haven bid)
Quarter-end flows - Rebalancing can create temporary USD moves unrelated to fundamentals
Best Used When:
Normal market conditions (liquid sessions, no major shocks)
Clear trending or mean-reverting environment
Components showing consistent correlations
Combined with price action and volume confirmation
Performance Optimization Tips
Backtest your timeframe - Test 15-25 lookback periods to find optimal sensitivity
Session-specific weights - Use different weight profiles for London vs New York vs Asia
Combine with price action - Don't trade composites alone; wait for gold to confirm with candle patterns
Monitor component correlations - If EURUSD/DXY correlation breaks down, reduce both weights temporarily
Use with stop-loss discipline - Composite extremes suggest mean-reversion, but trends can extend
Disclaimer
This indicator is a technical analysis tool and does not guarantee profitable trades. Gold markets are influenced by numerous factors including geopolitics, central bank policy, inflation, and market sentiment that cannot be fully captured by any indicator. Always employ proper risk management, position sizing, and stop-losses. Backtest thoroughly before live implementation. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

USDJPY Timing Composite (5-Component)Overview
A sophisticated multi-component oscillator designed specifically for intraday USDJPY trading. This indicator combines five key market drivers to provide high-probability timing signals by isolating true USD strength and JPY weakness from noise.
Components & Methodology
The indicator uses z-score normalization (default 20-period lookback) to make five distinct market signals comparable and combines them into a single composite reading:
Primary USD Strength Signals (60%):
-EURUSD (30%) - Inverted EUR/USD measures USD strength against the Euro
USDCHF (30%) - USD strength against the Swiss Franc
Yield Differential (25%):
US02Y (25%) - 2-Year Treasury yield captures Fed policy expectations and carry trade dynamics
JPY Weakness Confirmation (15%):
CHFJPY (7.5%) - CHF/JPY cross isolates JPY-specific weakness
EURJPY (7.5%) - EUR/JPY cross provides additional JPY context
Key Features
✅ Multi-Source Validation - Separates real USD strength from currency-specific noise
✅ JPY Context Filter - Confirms whether moves are driven by USD strength, JPY weakness, or both
✅ Alignment Indicator - Visual dots show when 4+ components agree (high-confidence setups)
✅ Mean-Reversion Zones - Overbought/oversold thresholds at ±1.5 standard deviations
✅ Clean Visualization - Candle-based display (no wicks) for easy interpretation
How to Use
Basic Signals:
Green candles = Bullish USDJPY pressure (USD strengthening / JPY weakening)
Red candles = Bearish USDJPY pressure (USD weakening / JPY strengthening)
Above +1.5 = Overbought zone → look for mean-reversion shorts
Below -1.5 = Oversold zone → look for mean-reversion longs
High-Confidence Setups (Alignment Dots):
Lime dot at top = 4+ components bullish → strong long bias
Magenta dot at bottom = 4+ components bearish → strong short bias
No dots = Mixed signals → reduce position size or wait for clarity
Divergence Trading:
USDJPY makes new high but composite doesn't confirm → potential reversal down
USDJPY makes new low but composite doesn't confirm → potential reversal up
Best Practices
Timeframes: 5-minute to 15-minute charts for intraday trading
Session Focus: London and New York overlap (peak liquidity)
Pair With: Support/resistance levels, volume profile, or session highs/lows
Risk Management: Use alignment indicator to size positions (larger size when dots present)
Weight Adjustments:
Fed data days (CPI, NFP, FOMC): Increase US02Y weight to 30-35%
Pure FX sessions: Increase -EURUSD/USDCHF weights to 35% each
Risk-off events: Monitor CHFJPY/EURJPY for safe-haven JPY flows
Technical Details
Calculation Method: Z-score normalization with configurable lookback period
Default Weights: -EURUSD 30% | USDCHF 30% | US02Y 25% | CHFJPY 7.5% | EURJPY 7.5%

Impulse Move FVG TrackerThis script identifies strong directional impulse moves and automatically plots Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) only in locations that are contextually relevant to those moves. It tracks consecutive candle bodies to determine when a large move up or down has occurred, calculates the midpoint of that impulse, and then displays bullish FVGs above the midpoint after strong upward moves and bearish FVGs below the midpoint after strong downward moves. The script operates only within a user-selected, scrollable time-of-day window and allows full control over FVG colors, extension length, minimum impulse size, and how many of the most recent FVGs remain on the chart. It is designed to reduce noise by showing FVGs only where price displacement suggests meaningful imbalance rather than marking every gap indiscriminately.
Engulfing Candle Mid-pointsThis Pine Script, “Engulfing Candle Mid-points,” identifies bullish and bearish engulfing candles within a user-selected intraday time range. For a candle to qualify, it must fully engulf the previous candle’s body in the opposite direction and meet a configurable minimum body size in points. When such a candle is detected, the script draws a horizontal line at the mid-point of the candle’s body, extending forward for a user-defined number of bars. The script stores only the five most recent bullish and bearish lines to keep the chart clean, and all line colors, widths, and extension lengths are configurable, allowing traders to visually track significant price moves during specific trading sessions.
