We Buy / We Sell - #TheStrat SignalsWe Buy / We Sell - #TheStrat SignalsDescription
This indicator is inspired by the #TheStrat methodology from Rob Smith, designed to identify high-probability "We Buy" (bullish) and "We Sell" (bearish) signals for trading stocks, ETFs, or futures like AMEX:SPY or $VSAT. It combines price action reversal patterns, higher timeframe continuity (HTFC), and optional broadening formation (BF) breaks to time entries with market momentum. Key Features: We Buy Signals: Triggered on a 2d-2u reversal (bearish to bullish candle) when the higher timeframe (HTF) is bullish (green) and optionally at a BF bottom (pivot low break). Labeled as "We Buy" at the candle’s low with a green triangle.
We Sell Signals: Triggered on a 2u-2d reversal (bullish to bearish candle) when the HTF is bearish (red) and optionally at a BF top (pivot high break). Labeled as "We Sell" at the candle’s high with a red triangle.
Candle Numbering: Displays #TheStrat candle types (1=Inside, 2u=Up, 2d=Down, 3=Outside) for context.
Debug Labels: Enabled by default, showing why signals don’t fire (e.g., "No HTFC Buy" if HTF isn’t bullish).
Partial Signals: Optional faint circles for 2d-2u or 2u-2d reversals (without HTFC/BF), disabled by default.
HTFC Background: Green (HTF bullish) or red (HTF bearish) background for timeframe alignment.
How It Works
Based on #TheStrat, the indicator seeks evidence of aggressive buying ("We Buy") or selling ("We Sell") by analyzing: Reversal Patterns: 2d-2u (We Buy): A bearish directional candle (2d) followed by a bullish directional candle (2u), signaling a potential bullish reversal.
2u-2d (We Sell): A bullish directional candle (2u) followed by a bearish directional candle (2d), signaling a potential bearish reversal.
Higher Timeframe Continuity (HTFC): We Buy requires the HTF (e.g., 1H or Daily) to close above its open (bullish).
We Sell requires the HTF to close below its open (bearish).
Broadening Formation (BF): Optional pivot high/low breaks approximate BF extremes (tops for We Sell, bottoms for We Buy).
Can be disabled (use_bf=false) for more frequent signals.
How to Use Setup: Apply to a 5min chart of a liquid asset (e.g., AMEX:SPY , NASDAQ:VSAT ) for intraday trading, or higher timeframes for swing trading.
Ensure sufficient chart history (TradingView > Chart Settings > Max Bars > 1000+).
Settings: Higher Timeframe (htf): Default "60" (1H). Try "15" (15min) for faster signals or "D" (Daily) for swing trades.
Pivot Lookback Length (pivot_len): Default 3. Lower to 1 for more signals, higher for stricter BF breaks.
Require Broadening Formation (use_bf): Default true. Set to false to skip BF checks, increasing signal frequency.
Show We Buy/We Sell Labels: Default true. Shows "We Buy" or "We Sell" on signal candles.
Show Candle Numbers: Default true. Displays 1/2u/2d/3 for #TheStrat context.
Show Debug Labels: Default true. Shows "No HTFC Buy", "No BF Buy", etc., to diagnose missing signals.
Show Partial Signals: Default false. Enable to show faint circles for 2d-2u/2u-2d reversals without HTFC/BF.
Trading: We Buy: Enter long on a green "We Buy" label (with triangle). Set stops below the signal candle’s low. Target BF highs or resistance.
We Sell: Enter short on a red "We Sell" label (with triangle). Set stops above the signal candle’s high. Target BF lows or support.
Use debug labels to understand why signals don’t fire (e.g., "No HTFC Buy" means HTF isn’t bullish).
Partial signals (faint circles) indicate reversals without full conditions, useful for discretionary setups.
Alerts: Right-click the indicator > "Add Alert" on we_buy or we_sell for real-time notifications.
Tips Best Assets: Use on liquid tickers like AMEX:SPY , NASDAQ:QQQ , or NASDAQ:VSAT , as seen in @AlexsOptions
’ examples.
Volatility: Signals are more frequent in trending or volatile markets. Check historical periods (e.g., September 2025) for testing.
Risk Management: Always use stops (e.g., 1-2% risk per trade) and validate signals with market context (e.g., sector/index alignment).
Learning #TheStrat: Study Rob Smith’s #TheStrat for deeper understanding of candle types and FTFC.
Troubleshooting No Signals? Check debug labels (e.g., "No HTFC Buy" means HTF isn’t bullish). Adjust htf (e.g., "15" or "D").
Set use_bf=false or lower pivot_len to 1 for more signals.
Ensure reversals (2d-2u or 2u-2d) are present (check candle numbers).
Test on volatile periods or liquid tickers.
No Partial Signals? Enable show_partial in settings to see faint circles for 2d-2u/2u-2d reversals.
Confirm reversal patterns exist (e.g., "2d" → "2u" in candle numbers).
Candlestick analysis
Wyckoff Accumulation / Distribution Detector (v3)🌱 Spring (Bullish Wyckoff Signature)
🧠 Definition
A Spring happens when price dips below a well-defined support level, usually near the end of an accumulation phase, then quickly reverses back above support.
This is not ordinary volatility — it's usually intentional by large operators (“Composite Man”) to:
Trigger stop-losses of weak holders
Create the illusion of a breakdown to scare late sellers in
Absorb all remaining supply at low prices
Launch the next markup leg once weak hands are flushed out
🧭 Typical Spring Characteristics
Feature Behavior
Location Near the bottom of a trading range after a decline
Price Action Temporary breakdown below support, then sharp reversal above
Volume Usually low to average on the break, indicating lack of real selling pressure. Sometimes a volume surge on the reversal as strong hands step in
Candle Often shows a long lower wick, closes back inside the range
Intent Shakeout of weak holders, allow institutions to accumulate more quietly
📈 Why It's Bullish
Springs typically mark the final test of supply. If price can dip below support and immediately recover, it means:
Selling pressure is exhausted (no follow-through)
Strong hands are absorbing remaining shares
A bullish breakout is often imminent
🪤 Upthrust (Bearish Wyckoff Signature)
🧠 Definition
An Upthrust is the mirror image of a Spring. It happens when price pokes above a resistance level, usually near the end of a distribution phase, but then fails to hold above it and falls back inside the range.
This is typically smart money distributing to eager buyers:
Late breakout traders pile in
Institutions sell into that strength
Price collapses back into the range, trapping breakout buyers
🧭 Typical Upthrust Characteristics
Feature Behavior
Location Near the top of a trading range after a rally
Price Action Temporary breakout above resistance, then quick reversal down
Volume Frequently low on the breakout, suggesting a lack of real buying interest — or sometimes high but with no progress, showing hidden selling
Candle Often shows a long upper wick, closes back inside the range
Intent Trap breakout buyers, provide liquidity for institutional sellers to unload near highs
📉 Why It's Bearish
Upthrusts show demand failure and supply swamping:
Buyers cannot sustain the breakout.
The sharp reversal signals large players are exiting.
Typically precedes markdown phases or sharp declines.
📝 Trading Implications
Spring → Often followed by a sign of strength rally → good long entry if confirmed with volume expansion and follow-through.
Upthrust → Often followed by a sign of weakness → short setups, especially if the next rally fails at lower highs.
The script looks for:
🌱 Spring:
Price makes a low below recent pivot support,
Closes back above,
Does so on low volume → likely a shakeout.
🪤 Upthrust:
Price makes a high above recent pivot resistance,
Closes back below,
On low volume → likely a bull trap.

Institutional Orderflow Pro — VWAP, Delta, and Liquidity
Institutional Orderflow Pro is a next-generation order flow analysis indicator designed to help traders identify institutional participation, directional bias, and exhaustion zones in real time.
Unlike traditional volume-based indicators, it merges VWAP dynamics, cumulative delta, relative volume, and liquidity proximity into a single unified dashboard that updates tick-by-tick — without repainting.
The indicator is open-source, transparent, and educational. It aims to provide traders with a clearer read on who controls the market — buyers or sellers — and where liquidity lies.
The indicator combines multiple institutional-grade analytics into one framework:
RVOL (Relative Volume) = Compares current volume against the average of recent bars to identify strong institutional participation.
zΔ (Delta Z-Score) = Normalizes the buying/selling delta to reveal unusually aggressive market behavior.
CVDΔ (Cumulative Volume Delta Change) = Shows which side (buyers/sellers) is dominating this bar’s order flow.
VWAP Direction & Slope = Determines whether price is trading above/below VWAP and whether VWAP is trending or flat.
PD Distance (Prev Day Confluence) = Measures the current price’s distance from previous day’s high, low, close, and VWAP in ATR units — highlighting liquidity zones.
ABS/EXH Detection = Identifies institutional absorption and exhaustion patterns where momentum may reverse.
Bias Computation = Combines VWAP direction + slope to give a simplified regime signal: UP, DOWN, or FLAT.
All metrics are displayed through a color-coded, non-repainting HUD:
🟢 = bullish / favorable conditions
🔴 = bearish / weak conditions
⚫ = neutral / flat
🟡 = absorption (potential trap zone)
🟠 = exhaustion (momentum fading)
| Metric | Signal | Meaning |
| ---------------------- | ------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
| **RVOL ≥ 1.3** | 🟢 | High institutional activity — valid setup zone |
| **zΔ ≥ 1.2 / ≤ -1.2** | 🟢 / 🔴 | Unusual buy/sell aggression |
| **CVDΔ > 0** | 🟢 | Buyers dominate this bar |
| **VWAP dir ↑ / ↓** | 🟢 / 🔴 | Institutional bias long/short |
| **Slope ok = YES** | 🟢 | Trending market |
| **PD dist ≤ 0.35 ATR** | 🟢 | Near key liquidity zones |
| **Bias = UP/DOWN** | 🟢 / 🔴 | Trend-aligned environment |
| **ABS/EXH active** | 🟡 / 🟠 | Caution — possible reversal zone |
How to Use
Confirm Volume Context → RVOL > 1.2
Align with Bias → Take longs only when Bias = UP, shorts only when Bias = DOWN.
Check Slope and VWAP Dir → Ensure trending context (Slope = YES).
Confirm CVD and zΔ → Flow should agree with price direction.
Avoid ABS/EXH Triggers → These signal exhaustion or absorption by large players.
Enter Near PD Zones → Ideal trade zones are within 0.35 ATR of prior-day levels.
This multi-factor confirmation reduces noise and focuses only on high-probability institutional setups.
Originality
This script was written from scratch in Pine v6.
It does not reuse existing public indicators except for standard built-ins (ta.vwap, ta.atr, etc.).
The unique combination of delta z-scoring, VWAP slope filtering, and real-time confluence zones distinguishes it from typical orderflow tools or cumulative delta overlays.
The core innovation is its merged real-time HUD that integrates institutional metrics and natural-language feedback directly on the chart, allowing traders to read market context intuitively rather than decode multiple subplots.
Notes & Disclaimers
This indicator does not repaint.
It’s intended for educational and analytical purposes only — not as financial advice or a guaranteed signal system.
Works best on liquid instruments (Futures, Indices, FX majors).
Avoid non-standard chart types (Heikin Ashi, Renko, etc.) for accurate readings.
Open-source, modifiable, and compatible with Pine v6.
Recommended Use
Apply it with clean charts and standard candles for the best clarity.
Use alongside a basic structure or volume profile to contextualize institutional bias zones.

HELAL TRICKS FOREX NY TimeThe indicator marks the New York session opening candle at 9:30 AM (New York time), drawing horizontal lines at its high and low. These levels remain visible until 7:00 PM, helping traders identify key breakout and reversal zones during the most volatile session of the day. Developed by Helal – Tricks Forex, this tool simplifies New York session analysis for smarter intraday trading decisions.
IB range + Breakout fibsThe IB High / Low + Auto-Fib indicator automatically plots the Initial Balance range and a Fibonacci projection for each trading day.
Define your IB start and end times (e.g., 09:30–10:30).
The indicator marks the IB High and IB Low from that session and extends them to the session close.
It keeps the last N days visible for context.
When price breaks outside the IB range, it automatically plots a Fibonacci retracement/extension from the opposite IB side to the breakout, using levels 0, 0.236, 0.382, 0.5, 0.618, 0.88, 1.
The Fib updates dynamically as the breakout extends, and labels are neatly aligned on the right side of the chart for clarity.
Ideal for traders who monitor Initial Balance breaks, range expansions, and Fibonacci reaction levels throughout the trading session.
3D Candles (Zeiierman)█ Overview
3D Candles (Zeiierman) is a unique 3D take on classic candlesticks, offering a fresh, high-clarity way to visualize price action directly on your chart. Visualizing price in alternative ways can help traders interpret the same data differently and potentially gain a new perspective.
█ How It Works
⚪ 3D Body Construction
For each bar, the script computes the candle body (open/close bounds), then projects a top face offset by a depth amount. The depth is proportional to that candle’s high–low range, so it looks consistent across symbols with different prices/precisions.
rng = math.max(1e-10, high - low ) // candle range
depthMag = rng * depthPct * factorMag // % of range, shaped by tilt amount
depth = depthMag * factorSign // direction from dev (up/down)
depthPct → how “thick” the 3D effect is, as a % of each candle’s own range.
factorMag → scales the effect based on your tilt input (dev), with a smooth curve so small tilts still show.
factorSign → applies the direction of the tilt (up or down).
⚪ Tilt & Perspective
Tilt is controlled by dev and translated into a gentle perspective factor:
slope = (4.0 * math.abs(dev)) / width
factorMag = math.pow(math.min(1.0, slope), 0.5) // sqrt softens response
factorSign = dev == 0 ? 0.0 : math.sign(dev) // direction (up/down)
Larger dev → stronger 3D presence (up to a cap).
The square-root curve makes small dev values noticeable without overdoing it.
█ How to Use
Traders can use 3D Candles just like regular candlesticks. The difference is the 3D visualization, which can broaden your view and help you notice price behavior from a fresh perspective.
⚪ Quick setup (dual-view):
Split your TradingView layout into two synchronized charts.
Right pane: keep your standard candlestick or bar chart for live execution.
Left pane: add 3D Candles (Zeiierman) to compare the same symbol/timeframe.
Observe differences: the 3D rendering can make expansion/contraction and body emphasis easier to spot at a glance.
█ Go Full 3D
Take the experience further by pairing 3D Candles (Zeiierman) with Volume Profile 3D (Zeiierman) , a perfect complement that shows where activity is concentrated, while your 3D candles show how the price unfolded.
█ Settings
Candles — How many 3D candles to draw. Higher values draw more shapes and may impact performance on slower machines.
Block Width (bars) — Visual thickness of each 3D candle along the x-axis. Larger values look chunkier but can overlap more.
Up/Down — Controls the tilt and strength of the 3D top face.
3D depth (% of range) — Thickness of the 3D effect as a percentage of each candle’s own high–low range. Larger values exaggerate the depth.

X Feigenbaumplots forward “projection zones” derived from a user-defined Feigenbaum Deterministic Range (FDR). Starting from two anchor prices (p01a, p01b) that define the initial condition, the tool computes successive expansion zones above and below that range using fixed scale factors. Each zone is rendered as a shaded box with optional edge outlines, an auto-midline, and an optional label—giving you an at-a-glance map of where price may propagate next.
This indicator is a visual framework, not a signal generator. It’s meant to be combined with your existing structure/flow reads (order flow, VWAPs, ORs, HTF levels, etc.) to plan scenarios, targets, and invalidation.
Key ideas (context)
Initial condition → expansions: You define a deterministic base range (FDR) from which the script projects outward “echoes.”
Bidirectional mapping: Zones are drawn symmetrically as +1, +2, +3, +4 (above) and −1, −2, −3, −4 (below) to reflect potential propagation in either direction.
Diminishing confidence with distance: Farther zones are for scenario planning/targets; nearer zones are more actionable for risk placement and management.
How the levels are built
Feigenbaum Deterministic Range (FDR):
Inputs p01a and p01b define the initial range (FDR = p01a − p01b).
Category “F Range” draws that base box.
Projection Zones:
The script computes zone pairs by offsetting from the initial range using fixed multipliers of FDR. In code, these are the pre-set coefficients:
±1: 0.6714 and 1.5029
±2: 2.5699 and 3.6692
±3: 6.1398 and 8.3384
±4: 13.2796 and 17.6768
Each zone is two prices (a, b) forming a band; the same logic mirrors below the range for the negative side.
Rendering & midlines:
Each enabled category draws a filled box from the anchor bar to the right edge (current bar + extend_len).
Optional outlines (solid/dashed/dotted) for top/bottom/left/right edges.
Optional midline (always dashed) bisects each zone for quick reference.
Anchoring & timeframe logic
Anchor refresh: interval1 sets an HTF “clock” (e.g., Daily). On each new HTF bar, all categories re-anchor at that bar’s index so new projections start cleanly with the fresh session/period.
Extend control: extend_len nudges the right boundary beyond the latest bar for label/edge clarity.
Inputs & styling
Settings group:
Anchor 1 Timeframe (e.g., D) defines the refresh cadence.
Label toggles: show/hide, size, text color, and background.
Feigenbaum DR group:
Enable the base F range, set p01a/p01b, choose fill/line colors, outline style, and the mid toggle.
Ranger Factors groups (Zones ±1…±4):
Each zone can be enabled/disabled, inherits its computed prices, and has independent fill/line color, outline style, and mid toggle.
Practical usage
Scenario mapping: Use +/−1 zones for near-term impulse tracking and intraday targets; treat +/−3 and +/−4 as stretch objectives or “if trend persists” waypoints.
Confluence first: Prioritize trades when a Feigenbaum zone aligns with a known liquidity pool, session level (e.g., OR, ETH/RTH AVWAP), HTF pivot, or key option-derived levels.
Risk & invalidation: The base FDR and nearest zone edges provide clean invalidation references and partial-take structures.
Notes & limitations
The coefficients are fixed in this version (you can expose them as inputs if you want to calibrate per market).
Projections are descriptive, not predictive; treat farther zones as lower-confidence context.
Because anchors reset on the selected HTF, choose interval1 consistent with your playbook (e.g., Daily for RTH framing, Weekly for swing maps).
Output summary
Boxes: FDR (base), Zones +1/−1, +2/−2, +3/−3, +4/−4
Edges: Optional top/bottom/left/right per zone (styleable)
Midlines: Optional dashed mid per zone
Labels: Optional, style-controlled, positioned just beyond the right edge
TrendShield Pro | DinkanWorldSmart Trailing Trend System Powered by EMA + ATR
TrendShield Pro is a powerful trend detection and trailing stop indicator designed for traders who rely on pure price movement and volatility tracking.
It dynamically adapts to market conditions using a combination of EMA (Exponential Moving Average) and ATR (Average True Range) to identify the active trend and place a visual trailing stop line.
🔍 How It Works
TrendShield Pro combines trend direction and volatility to create a self-adjusting trailing system:
EMA (Exponential Moving Average):
Smooths price fluctuations and identifies the overall market bias.
ATR (Average True Range):
Measures volatility to determine how far the trailing stop should follow the trend.
Dynamic Bands:
Two invisible thresholds are formed — up and down — around the EMA using the ATR and your chosen Factor value.
Trailing Logic:
When the EMA is rising, the Trailing Stop (TUp) locks in higher lows.
When the EMA is falling, the Trailing Stop (TDown) locks in lower highs.
The indicator switches trend automatically based on price crossing these trailing levels.
🧭 Visuals & Features
Green Trailing Line (Demand Trend): Indicates an active bullish trend.
Red Trailing Line (Supply Trend): Indicates an active bearish trend.
Arrow Signals:
🟢 Up Arrow → Bullish Trend Reversal
🔴 Down Arrow → Bearish Trend Reversal
Diamond Markers: Show points where the trailing line shifts, marking dynamic volatility changes.
⚙️ Inputs
Input Description
EMA Period Length of the Exponential Moving Average
ATR Period Period used for Average True Range calculation
Factor Multiplier for ATR-based volatility expansion
Fish OrbThis indicator marks and tracks the first 15-minute range of the New York session open (default 9:30–9:45 AM ET) — a critical volatility period for futures like NQ (Nasdaq).
It helps you visually anchor intraday price action to that initial opening range.
Core Functionality
1. Opening Range Calculation
It measures the High, Low, and Midpoint of the first 15 minutes after the NY market opens (default 09:30–09:45 ET).
You can change the window or timezone in the inputs.
2. Visual Overlays
During the 15-minute window:
A teal shaded box highlights the open range period.
Live white lines mark the current High and Low.
A red line marks the midpoint (mid-range).
These update in real-time as each bar forms.
3. Post-Window Behavior
When the 15-minute window ends:
The High, Low, and Midpoint are locked in.
The indicator draws persistent horizontal lines for those values.
4. Historical Days
You can keep today + a set number of previous days (configurable via “Previous Days to Keep”).
Older days automatically delete to keep charts clean.
5. Line Extension Control
Each day’s lines extend to the right after they form.
You can toggle “Stop Lines at Next NY Open”:
ON: Yesterday’s lines stop exactly at the next NY session open (09:30 ET).
OFF: Lines extend indefinitely across the chart.
ILM Checklist [Nix]ILM Checklist and Ratings Indicator!
This is a checklist type guide for those that trade the ILM model and are having trouble rating setups on their own.
You can double click on the checklist to open its settings where you can select all the confluences you see on the chart while a setup is forming.
Then the checklist will give you a mechanical estimate of what rating would Nix give it.
Obviously discretion is important as an A+ mechanical setup if still an F setup if you are executing it during a news event.
I have also added a dark / light mode theme toggle to suit your chart.
LEGEND IsoPulse Fusion Universal Volume Trend Buy Sell RadarLEGEND IsoPulse Fusion • Universal Volume Trend Buy Sell Radar
One line summary
LEGEND IsoPulse Fusion reads intent from price and volume together, learns which features matter most on your symbol, blends them into a single signed Fusion line in a stable unit range, and emits clear Buy Sell Close events with a structure gate and a liquidity safety gate so you act only when the tape is favorable.
What this script is and why it exists
Many traders keep separate windows for trend, volume, volatility, and regime filters. The result can feel fragmented. This script merges two complementary engines into one consistent view that is easy to read and simple to act on.
LEGEND Tensor estimates directional quality from five causally computed features that are normalized for stationarity. The features are Flow, Tail Pressure with Volume Mix, Path Curvature, Streak Persistence, and Entropy Order.
IsoPulse transforms raw volume into two decaying reservoirs for buy effort and sell effort using body location and wick geometry, then measures price travel per unit volume for efficiency, and detects volume bursts with a recency memory.
Both engines are mapped into the same unit range and fused by a regime aware mixer. When the tape is orderly the mixer leans toward trend features. When the tape is messy but a true push appears in volume efficiency with bursts the mixer allows IsoPulse to speak louder. The outcome is a single Fusion line that lives in a familiar range with calm behavior in quiet periods and expressive pushes when energy concentrates.
What makes it original and useful
Two reservoir volume split . The script assigns a portion of the bar volume to up effort and down effort using body location and wick geometry together. Effort decays through time using a forgetting factor so memory is present without becoming sticky.
Efficiency of move . Price travel per unit volume is often more informative than raw volume or raw range. The script normalizes both sides and centers the efficiency so it becomes signed fuel when multiplied by flow skew.
Burst detection with recency memory . Percent rank of volume highlights bursts. An exponential memory of how recently bursts clustered converts isolated blips into useful context.
Causal adaptive weighting . The LEGEND features do not receive static weights. The script learns, causally, which features have correlated with future returns on your symbol over a rolling window. Only positive contributions are allowed and weights are normalized for interpretability.
Regime aware fusion . Entropy based order and persistence create a mixer that blends IsoPulse with LEGEND. You see a single line rather than two competing panels, which reduces decision conflict.
How to read the screen in seconds
Fusion area . The pane fills above and below zero with a soft gradient. Deeper fill means stronger conviction. The white Fusion line sits on top for precise crossings.
Entry guides and exit guides . Two entry guides draw symmetrically at the active fused entry level. Two exit guides sit inside at a fraction of the entry. Think of them as an adaptive envelope.
Letters . B prints once when the script flips from flat to long. S prints once when the script flips from flat to short. C prints when a held position ends on the appropriate side. T prints when the structure gate first opens. A prints when the liquidity safety flag first appears.
Price bar paint . Bars tint green while long and red while short on the chart to mirror your virtual position.
HUD . A compact dashboard in the corner shows Fusion, IsoPulse, LEGEND, active entry and exit levels, regime status, current virtual position, and the vacuum z value with its avoid threshold.
What signals actually mean
Buy . A Buy prints when the Fusion line crosses above the active entry level while gates are open and the previous state was flat.
Sell . A Sell prints when the Fusion line crosses below the negative entry level while gates are open and the previous state was flat.
Close . A Close prints when Fusion cools back inside the exit envelope or when an opposite cross would occur or when a gate forces a stop, and the previous state was a hold.
Gates . The Trend gate requires sufficient entropy order or significant persistence. The Avoid gate uses a liquidity vacuum z score. Gates exist to protect you from weak tape and poor liquidity.
Inputs and practical tuning
Every input has a tooltip in the script. This section provides a concise reference that you can keep in mind while you work.
Setup
Core window . Controls statistics across features. Scalping often prefers the thirties or low fifties. Intraday often prefers the fifties to eighties. Swing often prefers the eighties to low hundreds. Smaller responds faster with more noise. Larger is calmer.
Smoothing . Short EMA on noisy features. A small value catches micro shifts. A larger value reduces whipsaw.
Fusion and thresholds
Weight lookback . Sample size for weight learning. Use at least five times the horizon. Larger is slower and more confident. Smaller is nimble and more reactive.
Weight horizon . How far ahead return is measured to assess feature value. Smaller favors quick reversion impulses. Larger favors continuation.
Adaptive thresholds . Entry and exit levels from rolling percentiles of the absolute LEGEND score. This self scales across assets and timeframes.
Entry percentile . Eighty selects the top quintile of pushes. Lower to seventy five for more signals. Raise for cleanliness.
Exit percentile . Mid fifties keeps trades honest without overstaying. Sixty holds longer with wider give back.
Order threshold . Minimum structure to trade. Zero point fifteen is a reasonable start. Lower to trade more. Raise to filter chop.
Avoid if Vac z . Liquidity safety level. One point two five is a good default on liquid markets. Thin markets may prefer a slightly higher setting to avoid permanent avoid mode.
IsoPulse
Iso forgetting per bar . Memory for the two reservoirs. Values near zero point nine eight to zero point nine nine five work across many symbols.
Wick weight in effort split . Balance between body location and wick geometry. Values near zero point three to zero point six capture useful behavior.
Efficiency window . Travel per volume window. Lower for snappy symbols. Higher for stability.
Burst percent rank window . Window for percent rank of volume. Around one hundred to three hundred covers most use cases.
Burst recency half life . How long burst clusters matter. Lower for quick fades. Higher for cluster memory.
IsoPulse gain . Pre compression gain before the atan mapping. Tune until the Fusion line lives inside a calm band most of the time with expressive spikes on true pushes.
Continuation and Reversal guides . Visual rails for IsoPulse that help you sense continuation or exhaustion zones. They do not force events.
Entry sensitivity and exit fraction
Entry sensitivity . Loose multiplies the fused entry level by a smaller factor which prints more trades. Strict multiplies by a larger factor which selects fewer and cleaner trades. Balanced is neutral.
Exit fraction . Exit level relative to the entry level in fused unit space. Values around one half to two thirds fit most symbols.
Visuals and UX
Columns and line . Use both to see context and precise crossings. If you present a very clean chart you can turn columns off and keep the line.
HUD . Keep it on while you learn the script. It teaches you how the gates and thresholds respond to your market.
Letters . B S C T A are informative and compact. For screenshots you can toggle them off.
Debug triggers . Show raw crosses even when gates block entries. This is useful when you tune the gates. Turn them off for normal use.

How to connect signals to your risk plan
This is an indicator. You remain in control of orders and risk.
Stops . A simple choice is an ATR multiple measured on your chart timeframe. Intraday often prefers one point two five to one point five ATR. Swing often prefers one point five to two ATR. Adjust to symbol behavior and personal risk tolerance.
Exits . The script already prints a Close when Fusion cools inside the exit envelope. If you prefer targets you can mirror the entry envelope distance and convert that to points or percent in your own plan.
Position size . Fixed fractional or fixed risk per trade remains a sound baseline. One percent or less per trade is a common starting point for testing.
Sessions and news . Even with self scaling, some traders prefer to skip the first minutes after an open or scheduled news. Gate with your own session logic if needed.
Limitations and honest notes
No look ahead . The script is causal. The adaptive learner uses a shifted correlation, crosses are evaluated without peeking into the future, and no lookahead security calls are used. If you enable intrabar calculations a letter may appear then disappear before the close if the condition fails. This is normal for any cross based logic in real time.
No performance promises . Markets change. This is a decision aid, not a prediction machine. It will not win every sequence and it cannot guarantee statistical outcomes.
No dependence on other indicators . The chart should remain clean. You can add personal tools in private use but publications should keep the example chart readable.
Standard candles only for public signals . Non standard chart types can change event timing and produce unrealistic sequences. Use regular candles for demonstrations and publications.
Internal logic walkthrough
LEGEND feature block
Flow . Current return normalized by ATR then smoothed by a short EMA. This gives directional intent scaled to recent volatility.
Tail pressure with volume mix . The relative sizes of upper and lower wicks inside the high to low range produce a tail asymmetry. A volume based mix can emphasize wick information when volume is meaningful.
Path curvature . Second difference of close normalized by ATR and smoothed. This captures changes in impulse shape that can precede pushes or fades.
Streak persistence . Up and down close streaks are counted and netted. The result is normalized for the window length to keep behavior stable across symbols.
Entropy order . Shannon entropy of the probability of an up close. Lower entropy means more order. The value is oriented by Flow to preserve sign.
Causal weights . Each feature becomes a z score. A shifted correlation against future returns over the horizon produces a positive weight per feature. Weights are normalized so they sum to one for clarity. The result is angle mapped into a compact unit.
IsoPulse block
Effort split . The script estimates up effort and down effort per bar using both body location and wick geometry. Effort is integrated through time into two reservoirs using a forgetting factor.
Skew . The reservoir difference over the sum yields a stable skew in a known range. A short EMA smooths it.
Efficiency . Move size divided by average volume produces travel per unit volume. Normalization and centering around zero produce a symmetric measure.
Bursts and recency . Percent rank of volume highlights bursts. An exponential function of bars since last burst adds the notion of cluster memory.
IsoPulse unit . Skew multiplied by centered efficiency then scaled by the burst factor produces the raw IsoPulse that is angle mapped into the unit range.
Fusion and events
Regime factor . Entropy order and streak persistence form a mixer. Low structure favors IsoPulse. Higher structure favors LEGEND. The blend is convex so it remains interpretable.
Blended guides . Entry and exit guides are blended in the same way as the line so they stay consistent when regimes change. The envelope does not jump unexpectedly.
Virtual position . The script maintains state. Buy and Sell require a cross while flat and gates open. Close requires an exit or force condition while holding. Letters print once at the state change.
Disclosures
This script and description are educational. They do not constitute investment advice. Markets involve risk. You are responsible for your own decisions and for compliance with local rules. The logic is causal and does not look ahead. Signals on non standard chart types can be misleading and are not recommended for publication. When you test a strategy wrapper, use realistic commission and slippage, moderate risk per trade, and enough trades to form a meaningful sample, then document those assumptions if you share results.
Closing thoughts
Clarity builds confidence. The Fusion line gives a single view of intent. The letters communicate action without clutter. The HUD confirms context at a glance. The gates protect you from weak tape and poor liquidity. Tune it to your instrument, observe it across regimes, and use it as a consistent lens rather than a prediction oracle. The goal is not to trade every wiggle. The goal is to pick your spots with a calm process and to stand aside when the tape is not inviting.
Session High/LowWhat it does:
Plots the High and Low of three sessions—Asia (19:00–02:00), London (02:00–08:00), New York (09:30–16:00)—all in UTC-4. After a session closes, it draws a horizontal line starting at the bar where the level first formed, extends it live to the current bar, and shows a label at the line’s end. If price sweeps the level (by wick or close, configurable), the line stops at that bar.
Settings: show/hide sessions, sweep on close toggle, how many past sessions to keep, line style/width, colors per session, and custom label text.
Works on any timeframe. Note: session times are fixed to UTC-4 (adjust if your market uses DST).
Candle Body Break (M/W/D/4H/1H)v5# Candle Body Break (M/W/D/4H/1H) Multi-Timeframe Indicator
This indicator identifies and plots **Candle Body Breaks** across five key timeframes: Monthly (M), Weekly (W), Daily (D), 4-Hour (4H), and 1-Hour (1H).
## Core Logic: Candle Body Break
The core concept is a break in the swing high/low defined by the body of the previous counter-trend candle(s). It focuses purely on **closing price breaks** of remembered highs/lows established by full candle bodies (close > open or close < open).
1. **Remembering the Swing:**
* After a bullish break (upward trend), the indicator waits for the first **bearish (close < open) candle** to appear. This bearish candle's high (`rememberedHigh`) and low (`rememberedLow`) are saved as the **breakout level**.
* Subsequent bearish candles that make a new low update this saved level, continuously adjusting the level to the most significant recent resistance/support established by the body's range.
2. **Executing the Break:**
* **Bull Break (Long signal):** Occurs when a **bullish candle's closing price** exceeds the last remembered bearish high (`rememberedHigh`).
* **Bear Break (Short signal):** Occurs when a **bearish candle's closing price** falls below the last remembered bullish low (`rememberedLow_Bull`).
Once a break occurs, the memory is cleared, and the indicator waits for the next counter-trend candle to establish a new level.
## Features
* **Multi-Timeframe Analysis:** Displays break lines and labels for M, W, D, 4H, and 1H timeframes on any chart.
* **Timeframe Filtering:** Break lines are only shown for timeframes **equal to or higher** than the current chart timeframe (e.g., on a 4H chart, only 4H, D, W, and M breaks are displayed).
* **Candidate Lines (Dotted Green):** Plots the current potential breakout level (the remembered high/low) that must be broken to trigger the next signal.
* **Direction Table:** A table in the top right corner summarizes the latest break direction (⇧ Up / ⇩ Down) for all five timeframes. This can be optionally limited to the 4H chart only.
* **1H Alert:** Triggers an alert when a 1-Hour break is detected.

ろうそく足実体ブレイク（M/W/D/4H/1H）マルチタイムフレーム・インジケーター（日本語訳）
このインジケーターは、月足（M）、週足（W）、日足（D）、4時間足（4H）、1時間足（1H）の5つの主要な時間足におけるろうそく足実体ブレイクを検出し、プロットします。
コアロジック：ろうそく足実体ブレイク
このロジックの中核は、直近の**逆行ろうそく足（カウンター・トレンド・キャンドル）**の実体によって定義されたスイングの高値/安値のブレイクです。終値が実体のレンジ外で確定することを純粋に追跡します。
スイングの記憶（Remembering the Swing）:
強気のブレイク（上昇トレンド）の後、インジケーターは最初に現れる弱気（終値＜始値）のろうそく足を待ちます。この弱気ろうそく足の高値（rememberedHigh）と安値（rememberedLow）が、ブレイクアウトレベルとして保存されます。
その後、安値を更新する弱気ろうそく足が続いた場合、この保存されたレベルが更新され、実体のレンジによって確立された最新の重要なレジスタンス/サポートにレベルが継続的に調整されます。
ブレイクの実行（Executing the Break）:
ブルブレイク（買いシグナル）: 最後に記憶された弱気ろうそく足の高値（rememberedHigh）を、強気ろうそく足の終値が上回ったときに発生します。
ベアブレイク（売りシグナル）: 最後に記憶された強気ろうそく足の安値（rememberedLow_Bull）を、弱気ろうそく足の終値が下回ったときに発生します。
一度ブレイクが発生すると、記憶されたレベルはクリアされ、インジケーターは次の逆行ろうそく足が出現し、新しいレベルを確立するのを待ちます。
機能
マルチタイムフレーム分析: 現在のチャートの時間足に関わらず、M、W、D、4H、1Hのブレイクラインとラベルを表示します。
時間足フィルタリング: ブレイクラインは、現在のチャート時間足と同じか、それよりも上位の時間足のもののみが表示されます（例：4時間足チャートでは、4H、D、W、Mのブレイクのみが表示されます）。
候補ライン（緑の点線）: 次のシグナルをトリガーするためにブレイクされる必要がある、現在の潜在的なブレイクアウトレベル（記憶された高値/安値）をプロットします。
方向テーブル: 右上隅のテーブルに、5つの全時間足の最新のブレイク方向（⇧ 上昇 / ⇩ 下降）をまとめて表示します。これは、オプションで4時間足チャートのみに表示するように制限できます。
1時間足アラート: 1時間足のブレイクが検出されたときにアラートをトリガーします。

Pump-Smart Shorting StrategyThis strategy is built to keep your portfolio hedged as much as possible while maximizing profitability. Shorts are opened after pumps cool off and on new highs (when safe), and closed quickly during strong upward moves or if stop loss/profit targets are hit. It uses visual overlays to clearly show when hedging is on, off, or blocked due to momentum, ensuring you’re protected in most market conditions but never short against the pump. Fast re-entry keeps the hedge active with minimal downtime.
Pump Detection:
RSI (Relative Strength Index): Calculated over a custom period (default 14 bars). If RSI rises above a threshold (default 70), the strategy considers the market to be in a pump (strong upward momentum).
Volume Spike: The current volume is compared to a 20-bar simple moving average of volume. If it exceeds the average by 1.5× and price increases at least 5% in one bar, pump conditions are triggered.
Price Jump: Measured by (close - close ) / close . A single-bar change > 5% helps confirm rapid momentum.
Pump Zone (No Short): If any of these conditions is true, an orange or red background is shown and shorts are blocked.
Cooldown and Re-Entry:
Cooldown Detection: After the pump ends, RSI must fall below a set value (default ≤ 60), and either volume returns towards average or price momentum is less than half the original spike (oneBarUp <= pctUp/2).
barsWait Parameter: You can specify a waiting period after cooldown before a short is allowed.
Short Entry After Pump/Cooldown: When these cooldown conditions are met, and no short is active, a blue background is shown and a short position is opened at the next signal.
New High Entry:
Lookback New High: If the current high is greater than the highest high in the last N bars (default 20), and pump is NOT active, a short can be opened.
Take Profit (TP) & Stop Loss (SL):
Take Profit: Short is closed if price falls to a threshold below the entry (minProfitPerc, default 2%).
Stop Loss: Short is closed if price rises to a threshold above the entry (stopLossPerc, default 6%).
Preemptive Exit:
Any time a pump is detected while a short position is open, the strategy closes the short immediately to avoid losses.
Visual Feedback:
Orange Background: Market is pumping, do not short.
Red Background: Other conditions block shorts (cooldown or waiting).
Blue Background: Shorts allowed.
Triangles/Circles: Mark entries, pump start/end, for clear trading signals.
ATR Adaptive (auto timeframe)This indicator automatically adjusts the Average True Range (ATR) period based on the current chart timeframe, helping traders define dynamic Stop Loss (SL) and Take Profit (TP) levels that adapt to market volatility.
The ATR measures the average range of price movement over a defined number of bars. By using adaptive periods, the indicator ensures that volatility is interpreted consistently across different timeframes — from 1-minute charts to daily or weekly charts.
It plots two main levels on the chart:
🔴 Low – ATR × Multiplier → Suggested Stop Loss (below the candle’s low)
🟢 High + ATR × Multiplier → Suggested Take Profit or trailing level (above the candle’s high)
Optional additional lines show ATR-based TP levels calculated from the current close.
💡 How to use
Select your desired ATR multiplier (e.g., 1.3× for SL, 1.0× for TP).
The script automatically detects the chart timeframe and uses an appropriate ATR length (e.g., ATR(30) on M5, ATR(21) on H1, ATR(14) on Daily).
Use the plotted levels to:
Set Stop Loss just below the red ATR band (for long trades).
Set Take Profit near or slightly below the green ATR band (for short trades, reverse logic).
⚙️ Why it helps
Maintains consistent volatility-based risk across multiple timeframes.
Avoids arbitrary fixed SL/TP values.
Makes the trading strategy more responsive in high-volatility markets and more conservative when volatility contracts.
Particularly useful for intraday and swing trading, where volatility varies significantly between sessions.

Measured Pattern Move (Bulkowski) [SS]Hey everyone,
This is the Measured Pattern Move using Bulkowski's process for measured move calculation.
What the indicator does:
The indicator has the associated measured move across 20 of the most common and frequent Bulkowski patterns, including:
Double Bottom / Adam Eve Bottom
Double Top / Adam Eve Top
Inverse Head and Shoulders
Bear Flag
Bull Flag
Horn Bottom
Horon Top
Broadening Top
Descending Broadening Wedge
Broadening Bottoms
Broadening Tops
Cup and Handle
Inverted cup and handle
Diamond Bottom
Diamond Top
Falling Wedge
Rising Wedge
Pipe Bottom
Pipe Top
Head and Shoulders
It will calculate the measured move according to the Bulkowski process.
What is the Bulkowski Process?
Each move has an associated continuation percentage, which Bulkowski has studied, analyzed and concluded statistically.
For example, Double tops have a continuation percent of 54%. Bear flags, 47%. These are "constants" that are associated with the pattern.
Bulkowski applies them to the daily, but how I have formulated this, it can be used on all timeframes, and with the constant, it will correctly calculate the measured move of the pattern.
What this indicator DOES NOT DO
This indicator will not identify the pattern for you.
I tried this using Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) using my own pre-trained Bulkowski model in R. I was successfully able to get Pinescript to calculate DTW which was amazing! But applying it to all these patterns actually went over the execution time limit, which is understandable.
As such, you will need to identify the pattern yourself, then use this indicator to hilight the pattern and it will calculate the measured move based on the constant and the pattern range.
Let's look at some examples:
Use examples
Double bottom / adam eve bottom on SPY on the 1-Minute chart
Adam and Eve Double Bottom QQQ 1-Hour Chart
Adam Eve Double Bottom MSFT Daily Chart
Bearish Head and Shoulders Pattern MSFT Daily
You get the point.
How to use the indicator
To use the indicator, identify the pattern of interest to you.
Then, highlight the pattern using the indicator (it will ask you to select start time of the pattern and end time of the pattern). The indicator will then highlight the pattern and calculate the measured move, as seen in the examples above.
Best approaches
To make the most of the indicator, its best to draw out your pattern and wait for an actual break, the point of the break is usually the end of the pattern formation.
From here, you will then apply this indicator to calculate the expected up or down move.
Let me show you an example:
Here we see CME_MINI:ES1! has made an Adam bottom pattern. We know the Eve should be forming soon and it indeed does:
We mark the top of the pattern like so:
Then we use our Measured move indicator to calculate the measured move:
Measured move here for CME_MINI:ES1! is 6,510.
Now let's see....
Voila!
Selecting the Pattern
After you highlight the selected pattern, in the indicator settings, simply select the type of pattern it is, for example "head and shoulders" or "Broadening wedge", etc.
The indicator will then adjust its measurements to the appropriate constant and direction.
Concluding remarks
That is the indicator!
It is helpful for determining the actual projected move of a pattern on breakout.
Remember, it does not find the pattern for you , you are responsible for identifying the pattern. But this will calculate the actual TP of the pattern for you, without you having to do your own calculations.
I hope you find it useful, I actually use this indicator every day, especially on the lower timeframes!
And you will find, the more you use it, the better you get at recognizing significant patterns!
If you are not aware of these patterns, Bulkowski lists all of this information freely accessible on his website. I cannot link it here but you can just Google him and he has graciously made his information public and free!
That's it, I hope you enjoy and safe trades!
