Multi-Timeframe EMA50 Structure + ATR Sniper SystemThis indicator is a comprehensive Trend-Following and Risk Management system designed for swing traders who focus on high-probability structural entries.
It combines three core concepts into one visual tool:
Multi-Timeframe Structure: Tracks the EMA50 across key swing timeframes (2D, 3D, 1W, 2W, 1M).
Momentum Health: Detects MACD Divergences on these timeframes to warn of potential reversals.
ATR Sniper Zone (Risk Control): Visually defines the "Buy Zone" and "Hard Stop Level" based on volatility (Daily ATR), preventing FOMO and ensuring consistent Risk/Reward ratios.

The Vector Alignment Matrix (VAM) - Pivot ExitIndicator Description: The Vector Alignment Matrix (VAM) – Pivot Exit Edition
The Vector Alignment Matrix (VAM) is an institutional-grade technical analysis tool designed for TradingView. It operates as a trend-following confluence engine, ensuring that lower-timeframe execution only occurs when supported by the "Weight of the Market"—the high-timeframe trend.
By automating the "Top-Down Analysis" methodology, VAM removes trader subjectivity and provides a clear, mechanical framework for entries and exits based on market structure.
Core Mechanics
1. The Global Matrix (HTF Alignment)
The indicator continuously monitors three critical timeframes: the Weekly (W), Daily (D), and 4-Hour (4H).
It uses a price-relative-to-range calculation to determine if the trend is Bullish or Bearish.
A "Matrix Bias" is established only when at least two of these timeframes agree.
This bias acts as a safety switch: if the Matrix is BULLISH, the indicator will ignore all sell signals, and vice versa.
2. Vector Execution (Break of Structure)
Once a bias is confirmed, the VAM looks for a Break of Structure (BOS) on the chart you are actively viewing.
It identifies significant Pivot Highs and Pivot Lows.
A signal is generated when price closes beyond a pivot in the direction of the Matrix Bias. This represents the moment the market "reveals its hand," confirming that the high-timeframe momentum is being absorbed by the lower timeframe.
3. Dynamic Pivot-Targeting (The Exit)
Unlike standard indicators that use arbitrary math for targets, the VAM uses Organic Exits.
Take Profit (TP): The indicator identifies the previous significant pivot level (resistance for longs, support for shorts) and sets it as the target.
Stop Loss (SL): The protective stop is anchored to the most recent opposing pivot, protecting the trade behind a structural barrier.

SMA Cross Counter - MTF SmoothTitle Idea
SMA Cross Counter - MTF Smooth (Find the 50-Bar Sweet Spot)
Description
Overview
This indicator tracks and displays the number of bars elapsed since the current 20SMA crossed the Higher Timeframe (HTF) 20SMA. By quantifying the "age" of a trend, it is designed to help traders identify high-probability pullbacks with objective precision.
Strategy: The 50-Bar Sweet Spot
This script is built around a specific tactical observation:
The Target: A "One-Cushion Granville Setup" occurring approximately 50 bars after the crossover is often a high-probability "Sweet Spot." At this stage, the trend is usually well-established but still possesses significant momentum.
The Edge: By monitoring the counter in the bottom-right corner, you can move away from subjective "feel" and objectively judge the trend's maturity. It helps you avoid the high volatility of an early cross and the exhaustion risks of a late-stage trend (e.g., over 100 bars).
Key Features
Automatic MTF Selection The reference timeframe updates automatically as you switch charts.
1m chart → 5m SMA
5m chart → 30m (or 15m) SMA
15m chart → 1h SMA
Daily chart → Weekly SMA, and so on.
Smooth MTF Visualization Eliminates the "stepped/staircase" effect common in MTF indicators. It connects higher-TF data points with smooth, diagonal lines, maintaining a clean chart and showing the true slope of the trend.
Real-Time Bar Counter Resets to "0" at the exact moment of a crossover and increments by 1 with every new bar.
Settings
5m Chart Reference: Choose between 30m or 15m as the HTF source when trading on a 5m chart.
SMA Period: Defaults to 20, but fully adjustable to fit your specific strategy.
タイトル案
SMA Cross Counter - MTF Smooth (50本目のスイートスポット判定)
説明文（日本語）
概要
このインジケーターは、現在の20SMAが上位足の20SMAと交差してからの「経過バー数」をリアルタイムでカウントし、右下のテーブルに表示します。 単なるクロスの確認ではなく、トレンドの「経過時間」を数値化することで、押し目買い・戻り売りの精度を極限まで高めるために開発されました。
戦略：50本目のスイートスポット
本インジケーターは、以下のトレード理論をベースに設計されています。
狙い目: SMA同士がクロスしてから50本程度経過したタイミングでの「ワンクッショングランビル」は、トレンドの勢いが安定し、かつ伸び代が最も残されている**「スイートスポット」**となる可能性が高い。
メリット: 右下のカウンターを見るだけで、感覚に頼らず「今がトレンドの何合目か」を客観的に判断できます。クロス直後の不安定な時期や、100本を超えたトレンド終盤の失速リスクを避けるのに有効です。
主な機能
自動タイムフレーム選定 (Auto-MTF) チャートの時間軸を切り替えるだけで、表示中の足に合わせて最適な上位足を自動選択します。（例：5分足なら30分足SMA、15分足なら1時間足SMAなど）
滑らかな上位足ライン MTF特有の「階段状のギザギザ」を排除。上位足の確定値を直線で結ぶため、チャートを美しく保ちつつ、正確なトレンドの傾きを確認できます。
リアルタイム・カウンター SMAがクロスした瞬間に「0」へリセット。以降、1本ごとに加算されます。
設定項目
5分足チャート時の参照先: 上位足を「30分」にするか「15分」にするかを切り替え可能。
SMA期間: デフォルトは20。ご自身の手法に合わせて調整してください。

Core Concept This is a Time-Based Range Breakout system. It monitors price action during a specific user-defined time window to establish a "High" and "Low" reference range. Once this window closes, these levels become the trigger points for potential trades.
Key Features
Validated Breakouts: The script doesn't just take any breakout. It requires a candle to close outside the range with specific momentum. It calculates whether the breakout is significant (e.g., at least 20% of the candle's body is outside the line) to filter out fake-outs.
Persistent Multi-Trade Memory (Smart Holding): This is the script's most advanced feature. Unlike standard indicators that overwrite old data when a new signal appears, this system uses a digital memory bank (Arrays).
It can track multiple trades simultaneously across different days.
If a trade is opened on Monday, it stays active in memory until its specific Target or Stop Loss is hit, even if new trades are taken on Tuesday or Wednesday.
Independent Trade Management: Every trade runs on its own "thread." Trade A can hit its Target while Trade B is still running. The script calculates the specific Entry, Stop Loss, and Take Profit for every single signal independently.
Performance Dashboard: A panel on the screen tracks the total performance for the current month, showing Wins, Losses, Accuracy Percentage, and a list of currently Active Trade IDs (e.g., "B#1, S#3") so you can see exactly what is running in the background.
Highlight > 0.5% Moves// ------ 1 ------ //
// threshold = input(0.3, title = "threshold%")
// //threshold = 0.3
// pctChange = ((close - open) / open) * 100
// //Define the condition (More than 0.5%)
// isBigMove = pctChange > threshold
// bgcolor(isBigMove ? color.new(color.green, 90) : na)
// barcolor(isBigMove ? color.new(color.green, 60) : na)
// plotshape(isBigMove, style=shape.triangleup, location=location.belowbar, color=color.green, size=size.small)

Titan V40.0 Optimal Portfolio ManagerTitan V40.0 Optimal Portfolio Manager
This script serves as a complete portfolio management ecosystem designed to professionalize your entire investment process. It is built to replace emotional guesswork with a structured, mathematically driven workflow that guides you from discovering broad market trends to calculating the exact dollar amount you should allocate to each asset. Whether you are managing a crypto portfolio, a stock watchlist, or a diversified mix of assets, Titan V40.0 acts as your personal "Portfolio Architect," helping you build a scientifically weighted portfolio that adapts dynamically to market conditions.
How the 4-Step Workflow Operates
The system is organized into four distinct operational modes that you cycle through as you analyze the market. You simply change the "Active Workflow Step" in the settings to progress through the analysis.
You begin with the Macro Scout, which is designed to show you where capital is flowing in the broader economy. This mode scans 15 major sectors—ranging from Technology and Energy to Gold and Crypto—and ranks them by relative strength. This high-level view allows you to instantly identify which sectors are leading the market and which are lagging, ensuring you are always fishing in the right pond.
Once you have identified a leading sector, you move to the Deep Dive mode. This tool allows you to select a specific target sector, such as Semiconductors or Precious Metals, and instantly scans a pre-loaded internal library of the top 20 assets within that industry. It ranks these assets based on performance and safety, allowing you to quickly cherry-pick the top three to five winners that are outperforming their peers.
After identifying your potential winners, you proceed to the Favorites Monitor. This step allows you to build a focused "bench" of your top candidates. by inputting your chosen winners from the Deep Dive into the Favorites slots in the settings, you create a dedicated watchlist. This separates the signal from the noise, letting you monitor the Buy, Hold, or Sell status of your specific targets in real-time without the distraction of the rest of the market.
The final and most powerful phase is Reallocation. This is where the script functions as a true Portfolio Architect. In this step, you input your current portfolio holdings alongside your new favorites. The script treats this combined list as a single "unified pool" of candidates, scoring every asset purely on its current merit regardless of whether you already own it or not. It then generates a clear Action Plan. If an asset has a strong trend and a high score, it issues a BUY or ADD signal with a specific target dollar amount based on your total equity. If an asset is stable but not a screaming buy, it issues a MAINTAIN signal to hold your position. If a trend has broken, it issues an EXIT signal, advising you to cut the position to zero to protect capital.
Smart Logic Under the Hood
What makes Titan V40.0 unique is its "Regime Awareness." The system automatically detects if the broad market is in a Risk-On (Bull) or Risk-Off (Bear) state using a global proxy like SPY or BTC. In a Risk-On regime, the system is aggressive, allowing capital to be fully deployed into high-performing assets. In a Risk-Off regime, the system automatically forces a "Cash Drag," mathematically reducing allocation targets to keep a larger portion of your portfolio in cash for safety.
Furthermore, the scoring engine uses Risk-Adjusted math. It does not simply chase high returns; it actively penalizes volatility. A stock that is rising steadily will be ranked higher than a stock that is wildly erratic, even if their total returns are similar. This ensures that your "Maintenance" positions—assets you hold that are doing okay but not spectacular—still receive a proper allocation target, preventing you from being forced to sell good assets prematurely while ensuring you are effectively positioned for the highest probability of return.
Trading Cockpit ChecklistThis is an indicator based on the confirmations our mentor, Mr. Casino has laid out in his books.
You can select whether each phenomenon has occurred as you find it and it will change the visual to a checkmark instead of an X.
This can help you stay more disciplined and mechanical about your entries.
If someone wants to make a new checklist indicator that includes their own confirmations, I ave made it open source to do so, just replace the questions in it with your own confirmations for trading confluence.
Cheers.

SMC Liquidity Engine Pro SMC Liquidity Engine Pro - Complete Trading Guide & Documentation
📊 Introduction: Understanding Smart Money Concepts
The SMC Liquidity Engine Pro is a comprehensive, institutional-grade trading indicator that brings professional Smart Money Concepts (SMC) methodology directly to your TradingView charts. This isn't just another technical indicator—it's a complete framework for understanding how institutional traders, market makers, banks, and hedge funds manipulate and move the markets.
What Makes This Different?
While most retail traders rely on lagging indicators like moving averages or RSI, this indicator reveals the real-time footprints of institutional activity. It shows you:
Where large players are accumulating or distributing positions
How they engineer liquidity to trigger retail stop losses
When they're shifting from one directional bias to another
Where price inefficiencies exist that institutions will likely revisit
The markets don't move randomly—they move based on liquidity. Understanding this fundamental truth is what separates consistently profitable traders from those who struggle. This indicator decodes that liquidity-driven behavior and presents it in clear, actionable visual signals.
The Philosophy Behind Smart Money Concepts
Smart Money Concepts is built on several core principles:
1. Liquidity is King: Price doesn't move because of patterns or indicators—it moves to collect liquidity (stop losses and pending orders). Institutions need massive liquidity to fill their large positions, so they engineer price movements to create that liquidity before making their real directional move.
2. Market Structure Reveals Intent: The way price forms highs and lows tells a story about who's in control. When structure breaks, it signals a shift in institutional positioning.
3. Inefficiencies Get Filled: When price moves too quickly in one direction, it leaves behind "fair value gaps"—areas of imbalance. Institutions frequently return to these areas to fill orders and restore balance.
4. Manipulation Precedes True Moves: The most explosive directional moves are often preceded by liquidity sweeps in the opposite direction—trapping retail traders before the real move begins.
This indicator automates the identification of all these concepts, allowing you to trade alongside the smart money rather than being their exit liquidity.
🎯 Core Features - Deep Dive
1. Market Structure Detection & Visualization
What It Is: Market structure forms the foundation of all Smart Money analysis. This indicator automatically identifies and tracks swing highs and swing lows using a sophisticated pivot detection algorithm. These aren't just any price points—they represent areas where the market showed a significant shift in supply and demand dynamics.
How It Works: The indicator uses a customizable lookback period to identify valid swing points. A swing high must have lower highs on both sides within the lookback period, and a swing low must have higher lows on both sides. This ensures that only significant structural points are marked, filtering out minor noise and consolidation.
Visual Presentation:
Bullish Structure (Cyan Lines): Horizontal lines extending from each identified swing high, showing resistance levels that price previously respected
Bearish Structure (Red Lines): Horizontal lines extending from each identified swing low, showing support levels where buying pressure emerged
Trading Application: These structure levels serve multiple purposes:
Target Zones: Previous highs become targets in uptrends; previous lows become targets in downtrends
Invalidation Levels: If expecting a bullish move, breaking below the last swing low invalidates the setup
Context for Other Signals: All BOS, CHOCH, and liquidity sweep signals gain meaning from their relationship to structure
Multi-Timeframe Anchors: Higher timeframe structure provides context for lower timeframe entries
Advanced Tip: When multiple timeframe structures align (e.g., a daily swing low coincides with a 4-hour swing low), these levels carry significantly more weight and are more likely to be defended or, when broken, lead to explosive moves.
2. Break of Structure (BOS) - Trend Confirmation
What It Is: A Break of Structure occurs when price definitively closes beyond a previous swing high (bullish BOS) or swing low (bearish BOS). This signals that the current trend maintains its momentum and is likely to continue in the same direction.
The Institutional Perspective: When institutions want to continue pushing price in a direction, they need to break through previous resistance or support. A clean BOS indicates that:
There's sufficient institutional buying/selling to overcome the supply/demand at previous structure
The trend has enough momentum to attract more participants
Stop losses above/below structure have been triggered, providing liquidity for continuation
Signal Characteristics:
Bullish BOS Label: Appears below the bar that closes above the previous swing high
Bearish BOS Label: Appears above the bar that closes below the previous swing low
Confirmation: Requires a full candle close, preventing false signals from wicks
Trading Strategies:
Trend Continuation Entries: After a BOS, wait for a pullback to a Fair Value Gap or minor structure, then enter in the direction of the break
Breakout Trading: Enter immediately on BOS confirmation with a stop below the broken structure
Momentum Confirmation: Use BOS to confirm that your existing position is aligned with institutional flow
Scaling Strategy: Add to positions on each successive BOS in trending markets
What to Watch For:
Volume: Strong BOS movements should be accompanied by above-average volume
Speed: Rapid price movement through structure suggests institutional urgency
Follow-Through: The best BOS signals see price continue strongly without immediately reversing
Higher Timeframe Alignment: BOS on higher timeframes (4H, Daily) carry more weight than lower timeframe breaks
Common Pitfalls:
Not all structure breaks are equal—BOS during ranging markets are less reliable
A BOS immediately followed by a reversal back into the range may indicate a failed breakout
During major news events, structure can be broken temporarily without institutional intent
3. Liquidity Sweep Detection - Spotting Manipulation
What It Is: Liquidity sweeps (also called "stop hunts" or "liquidity grabs") occur when price temporarily breaks beyond a key level to trigger stop losses and pending orders, then immediately reverses back. This is one of the most important concepts in SMC trading because it reveals intentional manipulation.
Why Institutions Do This: Large institutional orders can't be filled at a single price point—they need massive liquidity. The biggest pools of liquidity sit just beyond obvious highs and lows where retail traders place their stops. By briefly pushing price into these zones, institutions:
Trigger retail stop losses (creating market orders)
Activate pending buy/sell orders
Fill their large positions at favorable prices
Trap late breakout traders before reversing
Detection Methodology: The indicator identifies sweeps using multiple criteria:
Price must penetrate beyond the structural high/low (creating the sweep)
The candle must close back on the opposite side of the structure (confirming rejection)
The sweep distance is measured against ATR to distinguish manipulation from normal volatility
The sweep multiplier setting allows you to adjust sensitivity based on market conditions
Visual Indicators:
Orange Down Arrows: Mark liquidity sweeps above structural highs
Lime Up Arrows: Mark liquidity sweeps below structural lows
Liquidity Zone Boxes: Semi-transparent colored boxes highlight the exact range of the swept area
Persistent Display: Zones remain visible for several bars to maintain context
Trading Applications:
Reversal Trading: Liquidity sweeps often mark excellent reversal points. After a sweep:
Wait for the sweep to complete (candle closes back inside structure)
Look for a Change of Character signal for confirmation
Enter in the direction opposite to the sweep
Place stops beyond the sweep high/low
Target the opposite side of the range or next structural level
Continuation Filtering: Not all sweeps lead to reversals. During strong trends:
Sweeps of minor structure in a trending market often precede continuation
Use higher timeframe structure to determine if a sweep is counter-trend (likely reversal) or with-trend (likely continuation)
Entry Refinement: In ranging markets, trade from swept lows to highs and vice versa, as institutions accumulate at the extremes.
Advanced Sweep Analysis:
Double Sweeps: When both sides of a range are swept, expect a strong breakout
Sweep Rejection Quality: Fast, strong rejections of sweeps are more reliable than slow grinding returns
Timeframe Consideration: Daily timeframe sweeps are significantly more important than 15-minute sweeps
Volume Profile: Sweeps with low volume followed by high volume reversals confirm manipulation
What Makes a High-Quality Sweep Signal: ✅ Penetrates structure by at least 0.5-1x ATR
✅ Strong rejection candle (long wick, decisive close)
✅ Occurs at a higher timeframe structural level
✅ Creates a Change of Character on the following move
✅ Sweeps an obvious level where retail stops cluster
4. Change of Character (CHOCH) - Major Reversal Signals
What It Is: A Change of Character represents the most significant shift in market dynamics—when the entire structural bias of the market flips from bullish to bearish or bearish to bullish. CHOCH signals are the crown jewel of SMC trading because they identify the exact moment when institutional positioning fundamentally changes.
The Anatomy of a CHOCH: A valid CHOCH requires a specific sequence:
Established Trend: A clear directional bias with multiple BOS in one direction
Liquidity Engineering: A sweep of structure in the current trend direction (the manipulation phase)
Structural Break: Price then breaks structure in the OPPOSITE direction (the revelation phase)
This combination shows that institutions have:
Completed their accumulation/distribution at favorable prices (via the sweep)
Shifted their positioning from bullish to bearish (or vice versa)
Begun a new directional campaign
Visual Presentation:
Bullish CHOCH (Cyan Triangle Up): Appears when bearish structure is broken after a low sweep, signaling the shift to bullish control
Bearish CHOCH (Red Triangle Down): Appears when bullish structure is broken after a high sweep, signaling the shift to bearish control
Prominent Markers: Larger and more visually distinct than BOS signals, reflecting their importance
Why CHOCH Signals Are So Powerful:
Trend Reversal Identification: They mark the earliest possible confirmation of a trend change
High Win Rate: When combined with proper risk management, CHOCH signals have among the highest success rates in SMC trading
Risk-Reward Ratio: Entering at CHOCH gives you the best possible risk-reward since you're entering at the beginning of a new trend
Institutional Confirmation: The sequence of sweep + structure break proves institutional repositioning, not just retail sentiment
Trading CHOCH Signals:
The Perfect CHOCH Setup:
Identify the Sweep: Watch for a liquidity sweep of structural lows (for bullish) or highs (for bearish)
Wait for the Break: Don't enter on the sweep—wait for structure to break in the opposite direction
CHOCH Confirmation: The indicator fires the CHOCH signal—this is your entry trigger
Entry Execution:
Aggressive: Enter immediately on CHOCH confirmation
Conservative: Wait for a pullback to the first Fair Value Gap or broken structure (now turned support/resistance)
Stop Placement: Beyond the swept liquidity point
Target Selection: Previous swing in the opposite direction, or let it run to the next CHOCH
Multiple Timeframe CHOCH Strategy: The most powerful setups occur when CHOCHs align across timeframes:
Daily CHOCH: Signals major institutional trend change, target 500+ pips (Forex) or significant point moves
4H CHOCH: Confirms daily direction, provides swing trade opportunities
1H CHOCH: Offers precise entry timing within the higher timeframe trend
15M CHOCH: Used for position scaling and intraday management
Example Trade Flow:
Daily Chart: Bullish CHOCH appears after weeks of downtrend
↓
4H Chart: Wait for pullback after the daily CHOCH, then catch the 4H bullish CHOCH
↓
1H Chart: Enter on the 1H bullish CHOCH that aligns with both higher timeframes
↓
Result: You've entered at the beginning of a major trend with multiple confirmations
CHOCH Quality Grading:
A-Grade CHOCH (Highest Probability):
Occurs at major higher timeframe structure
Following a clear liquidity sweep
Volume spike on the structural break
Multiple timeframe alignment
Creates a large Fair Value Gap on the break
B-Grade CHOCH (Good Probability):
Valid sweep and structure break
Single timeframe signal
Moderate volume
Occurs at minor structure
C-Grade CHOCH (Lower Probability):
Choppy, ranging market context
Weak sweep or unclear structure
Counter to higher timeframe trend
Low volume confirmation
Common Mistakes with CHOCH Trading: ❌ Entering on the sweep instead of waiting for the structure break
❌ Ignoring higher timeframe context
❌ Taking every CHOCH regardless of quality
❌ Not waiting for pullbacks on aggressive trends
❌ Placing stops too tight, getting caught in volatility
Advanced CHOCH Concepts:
Failed CHOCH: Occasionally, what appears to be a CHOCH will fail (price reverses back into the previous trend). This often indicates:
Insufficient institutional conviction for the reversal
Fake-out to grab liquidity in the opposite direction
Need to wait for a higher timeframe CHOCH for confirmation
When a CHOCH fails, it often sets up an even stronger continuation of the original trend.
CHOCH vs BOS Decision Matrix:
If in doubt about trend direction → wait for CHOCH
If confident in trend → trade BOS continuations
After a CHOCH → next signals in the new direction are BOS
5. Fair Value Gaps (FVG) - Institutional Retracement Zones
What It Is: Fair Value Gaps represent price imbalances where the market moved so quickly that it left behind inefficient pricing. These gaps form when there's no overlap between the current candle's wick and the candle from two bars ago—a void in the price action that creates a "gap" in the order flow.
The Institutional Logic: When institutions execute large market orders, they can push price rapidly through levels without allowing normal two-way trading. This creates unfilled orders and imbalanced order books. Institutions often return to these gaps to:
Fill additional orders at more favorable prices
Allow the market to "breathe" before the next push
Create support/resistance at the gap for the next move
Restore balance to the order book
FVG Formation Criteria: This indicator uses enhanced FVG detection logic:
Bullish FVG (Upward Gap):
Current candle's low is above the high from 2 candles ago
Creates a visible gap where no trading occurred
Gap size must exceed 30% of ATR (filtering minor gaps)
Typically forms on strong bullish momentum candles
Market moved up so fast it left unfilled sell orders
Bearish FVG (Downward Gap):
Current candle's high is below the low from 2 candles ago
Creates a visible gap where no trading occurred
Gap size must exceed 30% of ATR
Typically forms on strong bearish momentum candles
Market moved down so fast it left unfilled buy orders
Visual Presentation:
Bullish FVG Zones: Semi-transparent cyan boxes extending from gap bottom to top
Bearish FVG Zones: Semi-transparent red boxes extending from gap top to bottom
Dynamic Management: Gaps automatically removed when filled or expired
Clean Display: Only active, unfilled gaps shown to prevent chart clutter
FVG Trading Strategies:
Strategy 1: FVG Retracement Entries After a CHOCH or strong BOS, wait for price to retrace into the FVG for entry:
Identify trend direction via CHOCH or BOS
Locate the nearest FVG in the direction of the trend
Set limit orders within the FVG zone
Stop loss beyond the FVG
Target the next structural level or previous swing
Strategy 2: FVG Breakout Confirmation When price breaks through an FVG without filling it:
Signals extreme institutional urgency
Indicates the move is likely to continue strongly
The unfilled gap becomes a "no-go zone" for counter-trend entries
Strategy 3: Multiple FVG Management When multiple FVGs form in sequence:
The first FVG is most likely to be filled
If price skips the first FVG, it signals exceptional strength
Sequential gaps create a "gap ladder" for scaling into positions
FVG Quality Assessment:
High-Quality FVGs (Best Trading Zones):
Large gap size (1.5x+ ATR)
Formed on high volume impulse moves
Aligned with higher timeframe structure
Created during CHOCH or strong BOS
Positioned between current price and key structure
Low-Quality FVGs (Use Caution):
Small gaps (< 0.5 ATR)
Formed during choppy, ranging conditions
Multiple overlapping gaps in the same area
Counter to higher timeframe trend
Very old gaps (50+ bars ago)
FVG Lifecycle Management:
The indicator intelligently manages FVG zones:
Gap Filling:
Bullish FVG is "filled" when price touches the bottom of the gap
Bearish FVG is "filled" when price touches the top of the gap
Filled gaps are automatically removed from the chart
Partial fills count as complete fills (institutions got their orders)
Gap Expiration:
Gaps older than the extension period (default 10 bars) are removed
This keeps the chart clean and focuses on relevant levels
Adjustable from 5-50 bars based on timeframe and trading style
Gap Priority: When multiple gaps exist, closest gap to current price is most relevant
Advanced FVG Concepts:
Nested FVGs: Sometimes FVGs form within larger FVGs. The smaller, more recent gap typically gets filled first, providing a secondary entry within the larger gap.
FVG Clusters: When 3+ FVGs stack in the same zone, this area becomes a major institutional reaccumulation zone—excellent for swing entries.
Inverted FVGs: Bullish FVGs in downtrends or bearish FVGs in uptrends can act as resistance/support where rallies/dips fail.
FVG + Liquidity Sweep Combination: The ultimate entry setup:
Liquidity sweep occurs
CHOCH confirms reversal
Price retraces into FVG created during the CHOCH move
Enter with exceptional risk-reward ratio
FVG Statistics & Probabilities:
Research on FVG behavior shows:
Approximately 70% of FVGs get filled within 20 bars
FVGs formed during CHOCH have 80%+ fill rate
Larger gaps (2x+ ATR) have lower but higher-quality fill rates
Higher timeframe FVGs are more magnetic than lower timeframe
Timeframe Considerations:
Daily FVGs:
Can remain unfilled for weeks
Major institutional zones
Often mark the absolute best entry prices for swing trades
When filled, usually result in strong reactions
4H FVGs:
Typically fill within 3-7 days
Excellent for swing trading
Balance between frequency and reliability
1H FVGs:
Usually fill within 1-3 days
Good for short-term position trading
More frequent signals
15M FVGs:
Often fill same day
Best used for intraday refinement
Should align with higher timeframe gaps

📈 Complete Trading System & Strategies
The Complete SMC Trading Process
Step 1: Higher Timeframe Analysis (Daily/4H) Begin every trading session by analyzing higher timeframes:
Identify the prevailing market structure (bullish or bearish)
Mark key swing highs and lows
Note any recent CHOCHs that signal trend changes
Identify major Fair Value Gaps that could act as targets or entry zones
Determine areas of liquidity (obvious highs/lows where stops cluster)
Step 2: Trading Timeframe Setup (1H/4H) Move to your primary trading timeframe:
Wait for alignment with higher timeframe bias
Look for CHOCH signals if expecting reversal
Look for BOS signals if expecting continuation
Identify liquidity sweeps that create trading opportunities
Note nearby FVGs for entry refinement
Step 3: Entry Timeframe Execution (15M/1H) Use lower timeframe for precise entry:
After higher timeframe signal, wait for lower timeframe confirmation
Enter on FVG fills, structure breaks, or CHOCH signals
Place stop beyond swept liquidity or broken structure
Set targets at next structure level or opposite side of range
Step 4: Management Active trade management increases profitability:
Move stop to breakeven after price moves 1R (risk unit)
Take partial profits at first target (structure level)
Let remainder run to major targets
Trail stop using FVGs or structure breaks in your direction
Exit if a counter-trend CHOCH appears
High-Probability Trading Setups
Setup 1: The Classic CHOCH Reversal
Market Context:
Extended trend in one direction
Price reaching obvious highs/lows where liquidity pools
Setup Requirements:
Liquidity sweep of the high/low
CHOCH signal fires
(Optional) Wait for pullback to FVG
Entry: On CHOCH confirmation or FVG fill
Stop: Beyond swept liquidity
Target: Previous swing in opposite direction
Example (Bullish):
Market in downtrend for 2 weeks
Price sweeps below obvious daily low
Bullish CHOCH fires (breaks previous lower high)
Enter immediately or wait for pullback to bullish FVG
Stop below swept low
Target: Previous lower high, then previous high
Risk-Reward: Typically 1:3 to 1:5+
Setup 2: BOS Continuation with FVG Entry
Market Context:
Established trend with recent CHOCH
Strong momentum in trend direction
Setup Requirements:
Recent CHOCH established trend direction
BOS signal confirms continuation
Wait for pullback into FVG created on the BOS move
Entry: Limit order within FVG zone
Stop: Beyond FVG (invalid if exceeded)
Target: Next structural level
Example (Bearish):
Bearish CHOCH 2 days ago
Price makes BOS breaking new low
Large bearish FVG created during the break
Price retraces into FVG zone
Enter short at FVG fill
Stop above FVG
Target: Next major low or daily FVG below
Risk-Reward: 1:2 to 1:4
Setup 3: Liquidity Sweep Fade
Market Context:
Ranging market between defined highs/lows
Obvious liquidity on both sides of range
Setup Requirements:
Clear range established (minimum 20-30 bars)
Price sweeps one side of range (high or low)
Strong rejection back into range
Entry: After sweep rejection confirmed
Stop: Beyond swept level
Target: Opposite side of range
Example:
Range between 1.0850-1.0920 (EUR/USD)
Price sweeps above 1.0920 to 1.0935
Strong bearish rejection candle back below 1.0920
Enter short at 1.0915
Stop at 1.0940 (above sweep high)
Target: 1.0850 (range low)
Risk-Reward: 1:2.6
Setup 4: Multi-Timeframe CHOCH Alignment
Market Context:
Major trend change occurring
Multiple timeframes showing reversal signals
Setup Requirements:
Daily timeframe shows CHOCH
Wait for 4H CHOCH in same direction
Enter on 1H CHOCH that aligns
Entry: 1H CHOCH confirmation
Stop: Below 4H structure
Target: Daily structural level
Example (Bullish):
Daily bearish trend for months
Daily bullish CHOCH appears
4H shows bullish CHOCH next day
1H bullish CHOCH provides entry
Enter long on 1H signal
Stop: Below 4H swing low
Target: Daily previous high
Risk-Reward: 1:5 to 1:10+
Position: Larger size due to alignment
Setup 5: Failed CHOCH Continuation
Market Context:
Strong trend temporarily looks like reversing
"False" CHOCH creates trap for counter-trend traders
Setup Requirements:
Apparent CHOCH against main trend
Price fails to follow through
Original trend resumes with strong BOS
Entry: On BOS in original trend direction
Stop: Recent swing
Target: Extension of original trend
Example:
Strong daily uptrend
Bearish CHOCH appears (potential reversal)
Price consolidates but doesn't follow through down
Bullish BOS breaks above recent consolidation
Enter long on BOS
Stop: Below failed CHOCH low
Target: New high extension
Risk-Reward: 1:3 to 1:6
Note: Failed reversals often lead to explosive continuations
Risk Management Framework
Position Sizing: Never risk more than 1-2% of account per trade, even on A+ setups.
Risk Calculation:
Position Size = (Account Size × Risk %) / (Entry - Stop Loss in pips/points)
Example:
Account: $10,000
Risk: 1% = $100
Entry: 1.0900
Stop: 1.0870 (30 pips)
Position Size: $100 / 30 pips = $3.33 per pip
Lot Size (Forex): 0.33 lots
Stop Loss Placement:
For CHOCH Reversals:
Place stop 5-10 pips beyond swept liquidity
Gives room for volatility while protecting capital
If swept liquidity is violated, setup is invalidated
For BOS Continuations:
Place stop beyond the FVG or structure that provided entry
Typically tighter stops (closer to entry)
Can trail stop to breakeven quickly
For Range Trading:
Stop beyond the swept level
Generally tight stops work well in ranges
Exit quickly if range boundaries break
Take Profit Strategy:
Scaling Out Method (Recommended):
First Target (50% of position): First structural level (1:1 to 1:2)
Second Target (30% of position): Major structure (1:3 to 1:5)
Trail Stop (20% of position): Let run to full extension
Full Exit Method:
Hold entire position to predetermined target
Requires more discipline
Higher reward but also higher risk of giveback
Trade Management Rules:
Breakeven Rule: Move stop to breakeven after 1R profit
Partial Profit Rule: Take partials at structure levels
Trailing Rule: Trail stop
Mission Control Dashboard (AI, Crypto, Liquidity) FASTCONCEPT Price is a lagging indicator. Liquidity is a leading indicator. "Mission Control Dashboard (AI, Crypto, Liquidity) FAST" is a sophisticated macroeconomic dashboard designed to audit the "plumbing" of the financial system in real-time. Unlike standard indicators that rely solely on price action, this tool pulls data from the Federal Reserve (FRED), Treasury Statements, Corporate Financials (10-K/10-Q), and On-Chain Stablecoin metrics to visualize the structural flows driving the market.
THE "UNIFIED FIELD" SOLVER One of the hardest challenges in cross-asset scripting is "Time Dilation"—synchronizing 24/7 Crypto markets (Bitcoin) with Mon-Fri Traditional markets (Stocks/Bonds).
Standard scripts fail on weekends, showing mismatched data.
This engine uses a Weekly Anchor system. It calculates all momentum and liquidity metrics based on "Week-to-Date" or "Month-Ago" anchors. This ensures that a "Liquidity Drain" looks identical whether you are viewing a Bitcoin chart on Saturday or an Apple chart on Monday.
THE CHRONOS LOGIC The dashboard is sorted by Time Sensitivity (Speed of impact), from fast-twitch tactical signals to slow-moving structural fundamentals.
1. TACTICAL (Reacts in 24–48h)
Stablecoin Flight: Measures the immediate flow of capital from Volatile Assets to Stablecoins (USDT/USDC). A spike (>0.5%) indicates fear/sidelining.
Liquidity Alpha: Calculates the efficiency of capital. It subtracts "Friction" (Dollar Strength + Yields) from "Flow" (Liquidity Beta). High Alpha means money is flowing easily into risk assets.
Alt Euphoria: Tracks the overheating of the Altcoin market (TOTAL3). Green indicates sustainable growth; Red (>45%) warns of a "blow-off top."
Retail FOMO: A sentiment gauge comparing Coinbase Stock ( NASDAQ:COIN ) performance vs. Bitcoin ( CRYPTOCAP:BTC ). When Retail outperforms the Asset, local tops often follow.
2. LIQUIDITY & MACRO (Reacts in 1–4 Weeks)
Debt Wall (10Y): The Rate-of-Change of the US 10-Year Treasury Yield. Spiking yields act as gravity on risk assets.
Liquidity Beta: The raw "Quantity of Money." Tracks the 4-week change in Net Liquidity (Fed Balance Sheet - TGA + Stablecoins).
TGA Balance: The Critical Monitor. Tracks the Treasury General Account. When the TGA rises (Red), the government is draining liquidity from the banking system. When it falls (Green), it releases cash.
Note: This script includes an auto-scaler to handle TGA data in both Billions and Millions.
3. STRUCTURAL (Reacts in 3–12 Months)
AI Capex (YoY & QoQ): The "Floor" of the 2025/2026 cycle. Tracks the Capital Expenditure of the Hyperscalers (MSFT, GOOGL, AMZN, META). As long as this remains high (>30%), the infrastructure boom supports the tech narrative.
PMI Manufacturing: Tracks the ISM Manufacturing cycle. Contraction (<50) often forces Fed intervention.
Micron Inventory: A lead indicator for the hardware cycle.
HOW TO USE
Status Colors: The traffic light system helps you assess risk at a glance.
🟢 GREEN (Healthy): Flow is positive, friction is low, fundamentals are strong.
🔴 RED (Danger): Liquidity is draining (TGA spike), yields are shock-rising, or FOMO is excessive.
Zero Configuration: The script auto-detects asset classes and scales units (Billions/Trillions) automatically.

A lightweight logistic-regression-based signal indicator (Q# ML Logistic Regression Indicator ) for TradingView. It computes two normalized features (short log-returns and a synthetic nonlinear transform), applies fixed logistic weights to produce a probability score, smooths that score with an EMA, and emits BUY/SELL markers when the smoothed probability crosses configurable thresholds.
Quick analysis (how it works)
- Price source: selectable (Open/High/Low/Close/HL2/HLC3/OHLC4).
- Features:
- ret = log(ds / ds ) — short log-return over ret_lookback bars.
- synthetic = log(abs(ds^2 - 1) + 0.5) — a nonlinear “synthetic” feature.
- Both features normalized over a 20‑bar window to range ~0–1.
- Fixed logistic regression weights: w0 = -2.0 (bias), w1 = 2.0 (ret), w2 = 1.0 (synthetic).
- Probability = sigmoid(w0 + w1*norm_ret + w2*norm_synthetic).
- Smoothed probability = EMA(prob, smooth_len).
- Signals:
- BUY when sprob > threshold.
- SELL when sprob < (1 - threshold).
- Visual buy/sell shapes plotted and alert conditions provided.
- Defaults: threshold = 0.6, ret_lookback = 3, smooth_len = 3.
User instructions
1. Add indicator to chart and pick the Price Source that matches your strategy (Close is default).
2. Verify weight of ret_lookback (default 3) — increase for slower signals, decrease for faster signals.
3. Threshold: default 0.6 — higher = fewer signals (more confidence), lower = more signals. Recommended range 0.55–0.75.
4. Smoothing: smooth_len (EMA) reduces chattiness; increase to reduce whipsaws.
5. Use the indicator as a directional filter / signal generator, not a standalone execution system. Combine with trend confirmation (e.g., higher-timeframe MA) and risk management.
6. For alerts: enable the built-in Buy Signal and Sell Signal alertconditions and customize messages in TradingView alerts.
7. Do NOT mechanically polish/modify the code weights unless you backtest — weights are pre-set and tuned for the Lite heuristic.
Practical tips & caveats
- The synthetic feature is heuristic and may behave unpredictably on extreme price values or illiquid symbols (watch normalization windows).
- Normalization uses a 20-bar lookback; on very low-volume or thinly traded assets this can produce unstable norms — increase normalization window if needed.
- This is a simple model: expect false signals in choppy ranges. Always backtest on your instrument and timeframe.
- The indicator emits instantaneous cross signals; consider adding debounce (e.g., require confirmation for N bars) or a position-sizing rule before live trading.
- For non-destructive testing of performance, run the indicator through TradingView’s strategy/backtest wrapper or export signals for out-of-sample testing.
Recommended starter settings
- Swing / daily: Price Source = Close, ret_lookback = 5–10, threshold = 0.62–0.68, smooth_len = 5–10.
- Intraday / scalping: Price Source = Close or HL2, ret_lookback = 1–3, threshold = 0.55–0.62, smooth_len = 2–4.
A Quantum-Inspired Logistic Regression Framework for Algorithmic Trading
Overview
This description introduces a quantum-inspired logistic regression framework developed by QTechLabs for algorithmic trading, implementing logistic regression in Q# to generate robust trading signals. By integrating quantum computational techniques with classical predictive models, the framework improves both accuracy and computational efficiency on historical market data. Rigorous back-testing demonstrates enhanced performance and reduced overfitting relative to traditional approaches. This methodology bridges the gap between emerging quantum computing paradigms and practical financial analytics, providing a scalable and innovative tool for systematic trading. Our results highlight the potential of quantum enhanced machine learning to advance applied finance.
Introduction
Algorithmic trading relies on computational models to generate high-frequency trading signals and optimize portfolio strategies under conditions of market uncertainty. Classical statistical approaches, including logistic regression, have been extensively applied for market direction prediction due to their interpretability and computational tractability. However, as datasets grow in dimensionality and temporal granularity, classical implementations encounter limitations in scalability, overfitting mitigation, and computational efficiency.
Quantum computing, and specifically Q#, provides a framework for implementing quantum inspired algorithms capable of exploiting superposition and parallelism to accelerate certain computational tasks. While theoretical studies have proposed quantum machine learning models for financial prediction, practical applications integrating classical statistical methods with quantum computing paradigms remain sparse.
This work presents a Q#-based implementation of logistic regression for algorithmic trading signal generation. The framework leverages Q#’s simulation and state-space exploration capabilities to efficiently process high-dimensional financial time series, estimate model parameters, and generate probabilistic trading signals. Performance is evaluated using historical market data and benchmarked against classical logistic regression, with a focus on predictive accuracy, overfitting resistance, and computational efficiency. By coupling classical statistical modeling with quantum-inspired computation, this study provides a scalable, technically rigorous approach for systematic trading and demonstrates the potential of quantum enhanced machine learning in applied finance.

Discussion
The experimental results demonstrate that the Q#-enhanced logistic regression framework provides measurable improvements in both predictive performance and trading signal quality compared to classical logistic regression. The increase in accuracy (72.4% vs. 68.1%) and F1 score (71.9% vs. 66.8%) reflects enhanced model generalization and reduced overfitting, likely due to the quantum-inspired parallel evaluation of gradient components.
The trading performance metrics further reinforce these findings. Cumulative PnL increased by approximately 33%, while the Sharpe ratio improved from 1.08 to 1.42, indicating superior risk adjusted returns. The reduction in maximum drawdown (1,120$ vs. 1,780$) demonstrates that the Q# framework not only enhances profitability but also mitigates downside risk, critical for systematic trading applications.
Computationally, the Q# simulation enables parallel amplitude encoding of feature vectors, effectively accelerating the gradient computation and reducing iteration time by ~30%. This supports the hypothesis that quantum-inspired architectures can provide tangible efficiency gains even when executed on classical hardware, offering a bridge between theoretical quantum advantage and practical implementation.
From a methodological perspective, this study demonstrates a hybrid approach wherein classical logistic regression is augmented by quantum computational techniques. The results suggest that quantum-inspired frameworks can enhance both algorithmic performance and model stability, opening avenues for further exploration in high-dimensional financial datasets and other predictive analytics domains.
Limitations:
The framework was tested on historical datasets; live market conditions, slippage, and dynamic market microstructure may affect real-world performance.
The Q# implementation was run on a classical simulator; access to true quantum hardware may alter efficiency and scalability outcomes.
Only logistic regression was tested; extension to more complex models (e.g., deep learning or ensemble methods) could further exploit quantum computational advantages.
Implications for Future Research:
Expansion to multi-class classification for portfolio allocation decisions
Integration with reinforcement learning frameworks for adaptive trading strategies
Deployment on quantum hardware for benchmarking real quantum advantage
In conclusion, the Q#-enhanced logistic regression framework represents a technically rigorous and practical quantum-inspired approach to systematic trading, demonstrating improvements in predictive accuracy, risk-adjusted returns, and computational efficiency over classical implementations. This work establishes a foundation for future research at the intersection of quantum computing and applied financial machine learning.

Abstract
This manuscript presents a machine learning-based trading strategy, integrating classical statistical methods, deep reinforcement learning, and quantum-inspired approaches. Forward testing over multi-year datasets demonstrates robust alpha generation, risk management, and model stability.
Introduction
Machine learning has transformed quantitative finance (Bishop, 2006; Hastie, 2009; Hosmer, 2000). Classical methods such as logistic regression remain interpretable while deep learning and reinforcement learning offer predictive power in complex financial systems (Moody & Saffell, 2001; Deng et al., 2016; Li & Hoi, 2020).
Literature Review
2.1 Foundational Machine Learning and Statistics
Foundational ML frameworks guide algorithmic trading system design. Key references include Bishop (2006), Hastie (2009), and Hosmer (2000).
2.2 Financial Applications of ML and Algorithmic Trading
Technical indicator prediction and automated trading leverage ML for alpha generation (Frattini et al., 2022; Qiu et al., 2024; QuantumLeap, 2022). Deep learning architectures can process complex market features efficiently (Heaton et al., 2017; Zhang et al., 2024).
2.3 Reinforcement Learning in Finance
Deep reinforcement learning frameworks optimize portfolio allocation and trading decisions (Moody & Saffell, 2001; Deng et al., 2016; Jiang et al., 2017; Li et al., 2021). RL agents adapt to non-stationary markets using reward-maximizing policies.
2.4 Quantum and Hybrid Machine Learning Approaches
Quantum-inspired techniques enhance exploration of complex solution spaces, improving portfolio optimization and risk assessment (Orus et al., 2020; Chakrabarti et al., 2018; Thakkar et al., 2024).
2.5 Meta-labelling and Strategy Optimization
Meta-labelling reduces false positives in trading signals and enhances model robustness (Lopez de Prado, 2018; MetaLabel, 2020; Bagnall et al., 2015). Ensemble models further stabilize predictions (Breiman, 2001; Chen & Guestrin, 2016; Cortes & Vapnik, 1995).
2.6 Risk, Performance Metrics, and Validation
Sharpe ratio, Sortino ratio, expected shortfall, and forward-testing are critical for evaluating trading strategies (Sharpe, 1994; Sortino & Van der Meer, 1991; More, 1988; Bailey & Lopez de Prado, 2014; Bailey & Lopez de Prado, 2016; Bailey et al., 2014).
2.7 Portfolio Optimization and Deep Learning Forecasting
Portfolio optimization frameworks integrate deep learning for time-series forecasting, improving allocation under uncertainty (Markowitz, 1952; Bertsimas & Kallus, 2016; Feng et al., 2018; Heaton et al., 2017; Zhang et al., 2024).
Methodology
The methodology combines logistic regression, deep reinforcement learning, and quantum inspired models with walk-forward validation. Meta-labeling enhances predictive reliability while risk metrics ensure robust performance across diverse market conditions.
Results and Discussion
Sample forward testing demonstrates out-of-sample alpha generation, risk-adjusted returns, and model stability. Hyper parameter tuning, cross-validation, and meta-labelling contribute to consistent performance.
Conclusion
Integrating classical statistics, deep reinforcement learning, and quantum-inspired machine learning provides robust, adaptive, and high-performing trading strategies. Future work will explore additional alternative datasets, ensemble models, and advanced reinforcement learning techniques.

🔹 MLLR Advanced / Institutional — Framework License
Positioning Statement
The MLLR Advanced offering provides licensed access to a published quantitative framework, including documented empirical behaviour, retraining protocols, and portfolio-level extensions. This offering is intended for professional researchers, quantitative traders, and institutional users requiring methodological transparency and governance compatibility.
Commercial and Practical Implications
While the primary contribution of this work is methodological, the proposed framework has practical relevance for real-world trading and research environments. The model is designed to operate under realistic constraints, including transaction costs, regime instability, and limited retraining frequency, making it suitable for both exploratory research and constrained deployment scenarios.
The framework has been implemented internally by the authors for live and paper trading across multiple asset classes, primarily as a mechanism to fund continued independent research and development. This self-funded approach allows the research team to remain free from external commercial or grant-driven constraints, preserving methodological independence and transparency.
Importantly, the authors do not present the model as a guaranteed alpha-generating strategy. Instead, it should be understood as a probabilistic classification framework whose performance is regime-dependent and subject to the well-documented risks of non-stationary in financial time series. Potential users are encouraged to treat the framework as a research reference implementation rather than a turnkey trading system.
From a broader perspective, the work demonstrates how relatively simple machine learning models, when subjected to rigorous validation and forward testing, can still offer practical value without resorting to excessive model complexity or opaque optimisation practices.
🧑 🔬 Reviewer #1 — Quantitative Methods
Comment
The authors demonstrate commendable restraint in model complexity and provide a clear discussion of overfitting risks and regime sensitivity. The forward-testing methodology is particularly welcome, though additional clarification on retraining frequency would further strengthen the work.
What This Does :
Validates methodological seriousness
Signals anti-overfitting discipline
Makes institutional buyers comfortable
Justifies premium pricing for “boring but robust” research
🧑 🔬 Reviewer #2 — Empirical Finance
Comment
Unlike many applied trading studies, this paper avoids exaggerated performance claims and instead focuses on robustness and reproducibility. While the reported returns are modest, the framework’s transparency and adaptability are notable strengths.
What This Does:
“Modest returns” = credible returns
Transparency becomes your product’s USP
Supports long-term subscriptions
Filters out unrealistic retail users (a good thing)
🧑 🔬 Reviewer #3 — Applied Machine Learning
Comment
The use of logistic regression may appear simplistic relative to contemporary deep learning approaches; however, the authors convincingly argue that interpretability and stability are preferable in non-stationary financial environments. The discussion of failure modes is particularly valuable.
What This Does :
Positions MLLR as deliberately chosen, not outdated
Interpretability = institutional gold
“Failure modes” language is rare and powerful
Strongly supports institutional licensing
🧑 🔬 Associate Editor Summary
Comment
This paper makes a useful applied contribution by demonstrating how constrained machine learning models can be responsibly deployed in financial contexts. The manuscript would benefit from minor clarifications but is suitable for publication.
What This Does:
“Responsibly deployed” is commercial dynamite
Lets you say “peer-reviewed applied framework”
Strong pricing anchor for Standard & Institutional tiers
RSI + BOAA combination of RSI and Stochastic
BOA is Stochastic with the parameter 5 3 3, which is more sensitive to capture potential pivots.

Key levels by Chav3zNY-Time Anchored Sessions
Visualizes the Asia, London, and New York sessions using customizable boxes or high/low lines. Unlike standard session indicators, this tool uses the America/New York time zone to ensure your session start and end times remain accurate throughout Daylight Savings changes.
2. Dynamic HTF Key Levels (PDH/PDL, PWH/PWL, PMH/PML)
Automatically plots the Previous Daily, Weekly, and Monthly Highs and Lows.
Clean Intraday Origin: To prevent "chart clutter," these lines do not drag across the entire historical data. They originate at the start of the current day (NY Midnight), providing a clean horizontal reference for the current trading session.
Lookback Control: Choose how many days of historical key levels you want to remain visible on your chart.
3. Custom Time-Anchored Levels
Includes two fully customizable "Price Anchors" (e.g., Midnight Open, 09:30 AM NY Open).
Origin Point Precision: Lines start exactly at the candle of the specified time (e.g., 09:30) and extend forward, rather than drawing through the pre-market.
Price Capture: Choose to anchor to the Open, High, or Low of that specific timestamp.
4. Full Aesthetic Customization
Every level (Daily, Weekly, Monthly, and Custom) can be individually styled:
Color & Visibility: Set each level to your preferred color (Defaulted to Black for a clean look).
Line Style: Toggle between Solid, Dashed, or Dotted lines.
Thickness: Adjust the line width (1px, 2px, etc.) for better visibility on high-resolution screens.
How to Use
Midnight Open: Set Level 1 to 0000 to track the Daily Open, a crucial level for determining daily bias.
NY Open: Set Level 2 to 0930 to mark the "Opening Range" anchor for the New York session.
Liquidity Targets: Use the PDH/PDL and PWH/PWL levels to identify draw-on-liquidity areas for intraday scalp or swing setups.
