Scalp Precision Matrix [BullByte]SCALP PRECISION MATRIX (SPM)
OVERVIEW
Scalp Precision Matrix (SPM) is a comprehensive decision-support framework designed specifically for scalpers and short-term traders. This indicator synthesizes five distinct analytical layers into a unified system that helps identify high-quality setups while avoiding common pitfalls that trap traders.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
THE CORE PROBLEM THIS INDICATOR ADDRESSES
Scalping demands rapid decision-making while simultaneously processing multiple data points. Traders constantly ask themselves: Is momentum still alive? Am I entering near a potential reversal zone? Is this the right session to trade? What is my actual risk-to-reward? Most traders either overwhelm themselves with too many separate indicators (creating analysis paralysis) or use too few (missing crucial context).
SPM was developed to consolidate these essential checks into one cohesive framework. Rather than overlaying disconnected indicators, each component in SPM directly informs and adjusts the others, creating an integrated analytical system.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
WHY THESE SPECIFIC COMPONENTS AND HOW THEY WORK TOGETHER
The five analytical layers in SPM are not arbitrarily combined. Each addresses a specific question in the scalping decision process, and together they form a logical workflow:
LAYER 1: MOMENTUM FUEL GAUGE
This answers the question: "Does the current move still have energy?"
After any impulse move (a significant directional price movement), momentum naturally decays over time. The Fuel Gauge estimates remaining momentum by analyzing four factors:
Body Strength (30% weight): Compares recent candle body sizes against the historical average. Strong momentum produces candles with large bodies relative to their wicks. The calculation takes the 3-bar average body size divided by the 20-bar average body size, then scales it to a 0-100 range.
Wick Rejection (25% weight): Measures the wick-to-body ratio. When wicks are large relative to bodies, it suggests rejection and weakening momentum. A ratio of 2.0 or higher (wicks twice the body size) scores low; smaller ratios score higher.
Volume Consistency (20% weight): Compares recent 3-bar average volume against the lookback period average. Sustained moves require consistent volume support. Volume dropping off suggests the move may be losing participation.
Time Decay (25% weight): Tracks how many bars have passed since the last detected impulse. Momentum naturally fades over time. The typical impulse duration is adjusted based on the current volatility regime.
These components are weighted and combined, then smoothed with a 3-period EMA to reduce noise. The result is a 0-100% gauge where:
- Above 70% = Strong momentum (green)
- 40-70% = Moderate momentum (amber)
- Below 40% = Weak momentum (red)
- Below 20% = Exhausted (triggers EXIT warning)
The Fuel Gauge also estimates how many bars of momentum remain based on the current burn rate.
IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER : The Fuel Gauge is NOT order flow, volume profile, or depth of market data. It is a technical proxy calculated entirely from standard OHLCV (Open, High, Low, Close, Volume) data. The term "Fuel" is used metaphorically to represent estimated remaining momentum energy.
LAYER 2: TRAP ZONE DETECTION
This answers the question: "Am I walking into a potential reversal area?"
Price tends to reverse at levels where it has reversed before. SPM identifies these zones by detecting clusters of historical swing points:
How it works:
1. The indicator detects swing highs and swing lows using the Swing Detection Length setting (default 5 bars on each side required to confirm a pivot).
2. Recent swing points are stored (up to 10 of each type).
3. For each potential zone, the algorithm counts how many swing points cluster within a tolerance of 0.5 ATR.
4. Zones with 2 or more clustered swing points, positioned between 0.3 and 4.0 ATR from current price, are marked as Trap Zones.
5. A Confluence Score is calculated based on cluster density and proximity to current price.
The percentage displayed (e.g., "TRAP 85%") is a CONFLUENCE SCORE, not a probability. Higher percentages mean more swing points cluster at that level and price is closer to it. This indicates stronger historical significance, not a prediction of future reversal.
CRITICAL DISCLAIMER : Trap Zones are NOT institutional order flow, liquidity pools, smart money footprints, or any proprietary data feed. They are calculated purely from historical swing point clustering using standard technical analysis. The term "trap" describes how price action has historically reversed at these levels, potentially trapping traders who enter prematurely. This is pattern recognition, not market structure data.
LAYER 3: VELOCITY ANALYSIS
This answers the question: "Is price moving favorably right now?"
Velocity measures how fast price is currently moving compared to its recent average:
Calculation:
- Current velocity = Absolute price change from previous bar divided by ATR
- Average velocity = Simple moving average of velocity over the lookback period
- Velocity ratio = Current velocity divided by average velocity
Classification:
- FAST (ratio above 1.5 ): Price is moving significantly faster than normal. Good for momentum continuation plays.
- NORMAL (ratio 0.5 to 1.5) : Typical price movement speed.
- SLOW (ratio below 0.5 ): Price is moving sluggishly. Often indicates ranging or choppy conditions where scalping becomes difficult.
The velocity score contributes 18% to the overall quality score calculation.
LAYER 4: SESSION AWARENESS
This answers the question: "Is this a good time to trade?"
Different trading sessions have different characteristics. SPM automatically detects which major session is active and adjusts its quality assessment:
Session Times (all in UTC):
- A sia Session : 00:00 - 08:00 UTC
- London Session : 08:00 - 16:00 UTC
- New York Session : 13:00 - 21:00 UTC
- London/NY Overlap : 13:00 - 16:00 UTC
- Off-Peak : Outside major sessions
Session Quality Weighting:
- Overlap : 100 points (highest liquidity, best movement)
- London : 85 points
- New York : 80 points
- Asia : 50 points (tends to range more)
- Off-Peak : 30 points (lower liquidity, more false signals)
The session score contributes 17% to the overall quality calculation. Signals are also filtered to prevent firing during off-peak hours.
Note : These are fixed UTC times and may not perfectly match your broker's session boundaries. Use them as general guidance rather than precise timing.
LAYER 5: VOLATILITY REGIME ADAPTATION
This answers the question: "How should I adjust for current market conditions?"
SPM compares current volatility (14-period ATR) against historical volatility (50-period ATR) to categorize the market:
HIGH Volatility (ratio above 1.3): Current ATR is 30%+ above normal. SPM widens thresholds to filter noise and extends target projections.
NORMAL Volatility (ratio 0.7 to 1.3): Typical conditions. Standard parameters apply.
LOW Volatility (ratio below 0.7): Current ATR is 30%+ below normal. SPM tightens thresholds for sensitivity and reduces target expectations. The market state may show AVOID during prolonged low volatility.
This adaptation prevents false signals during erratic markets and missed signals during quiet markets.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
THE SYNERGY: WHY THIS COMBINATION MATTERS
These five layers are not independent indicators placed on one chart. They form an interconnected system:
- A signal only fires when momentum exists (Fuel above 40%), price is away from danger zones (Trap Zones factored into quality score), movement is favorable (Velocity contributes to score), timing is appropriate (Session is not off-peak), and volatility is accounted for (thresholds adapt to regime).
- The Trap Zones directly influence Entry Zone placement. Entry zones are positioned beyond trap zones to avoid getting caught in reversals.
- Target projections automatically adjust to avoid placing take-profit levels inside detected trap zones.
- The Fuel Gauge affects which signal tier fires. Insufficient fuel prevents all signals.
- Session quality is weighted into the overall score, reducing signal quality during less favorable trading hours.
This integration is the core originality of SPM. Each component makes the others more useful than they would be in isolation.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
HOW THE QUALITY SCORE IS CALCULATED
The Quality Score (0-100) synthesizes all layers into a single number for each direction (long and short):
For Long Quality Score:
- Fuel Component (28% weight) : Full fuel value if impulse direction is bullish; 60% of fuel value otherwise
- Trap Avoidance (22% weight) : 75 points if no trap zone below; otherwise 100 minus the trap confluence score (minimum 20)
- Velocity Component (18% weight) : Direct velocity score
- Session Component (17% weight) : Current session quality score
- Trend Alignment (15% bonus) : Adds 12 points if price is above the 20-period SMA
For Short Quality Score:
- Same structure but reversed (bearish impulse direction, trap zone above, price below SMA)
The direction with the higher score becomes the current Bias. A 12-point difference is required to switch bias, preventing flip-flopping in neutral conditions.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SIGNAL TYPES AND WHAT THEY MEAN
SPM generates four types of signals, each with specific visual representation:
PRIME SIGNALS (Cyan Diamond)
These represent the highest quality confluence. Requirements:
- Quality score crosses above the Prime threshold (default 80)
- Bias aligns with signal direction
- Fuel is sufficient (above 40%)
- Session is active (not off-peak)
- Cooldown period has passed
Prime signals appear as cyan-colored diamond shapes. Long signals appear below the bar; short signals appear above.
STANDARD SIGNALS (Green Triangle Up / Red Triangle Down)
These represent good quality setups. Requirements:
- Quality score crosses above the Standard threshold (default 75) but below Prime
- Same bias, fuel, and cooldown requirements as Prime
Standard signals appear as small triangles in green (long) or red (short).
CAUTION SIGNALS (Small Faded Circle)
These represent minimum threshold setups. Requirements:
- Quality score crosses above the Caution threshold (default 65) but below Standard
- Same additional requirements
Caution signals appear as small, faded circles. These suggest the setup exists but with weaker confluence. Consider these only when broader market context supports them, or skip them entirely during uncertain conditions.
EXHAUSTION SIGNAL (Purple X with "EXIT" text)
This warning appears when the Fuel Gauge drops below 20% from above, indicating momentum has depleted. This is not a trade signal but a warning to:
- Consider exiting existing positions
- Avoid entering new trades in the current direction
- Wait for new momentum to develop
All signals use CONFIRMED bar data only (referencing the previous closed bar) to prevent repainting. Once a signal appears, it will never disappear or change position on historical bars.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
READING THE CHART ELEMENTS
TRAP ZONES (Red Dashed Box with "TRAP XX%" Label)
These mark price levels where multiple historical swing points cluster. The red dashed box shows the zone boundaries. The percentage is the confluence score indicating cluster strength and proximity.
How to use: When price approaches a trap zone, be cautious about entering in that direction. If your bias is LONG and there's a strong trap zone above, consider taking partial profits before price reaches it or adjusting your target below it.
ENTRY ZONES (Green Solid Box with "ENTRY" Label)
These show suggested entry areas based on the current bias direction. For LONG bias, the entry zone appears below the trap zone (buying the dip beyond support). For SHORT bias, it appears above the trap zone (selling the rally beyond resistance).
How to use: Rather than entering at current price, consider placing limit orders within the entry zone. This positions you beyond where typical trap reversals occur.
TARGET ZONES (Blue Dotted Box with "TARGET" Label)
These project potential take-profit areas based on ATR multiples, adjusted for:
- Current volatility regime (wider in high volatility, tighter in low)
- Impulse direction (larger targets when aligned with impulse)
- Nearby trap zones (targets adjust to avoid placing TP inside trap zones)
How to use: These are suggestions, not guarantees. Consider taking partial profits before the target or using trailing stops once price moves favorably.
STOP LEVEL (Orange Dashed Line with "STOP" Label)
This shows suggested stop-loss placement, calculated as 0.8 ATR beyond the trap zone (or 2.0 ATR from current price if no trap zone exists).
How to use: This provides a reference for risk calculation. The dashboard R:R ratio is calculated using this stop level.
Chart Example: Scalp Precision Matrix displays real-time market analysis through dynamic zones and quality scores. ENTRY/TARGET/STOP zones show potential price levels based on current market structure - they appear continuously as reference points, NOT as trade instructions. Actual trade signals (diamonds, triangles, circles) fire only when multiple conditions align: quality score thresholds are crossed, fuel gauge is sufficient, session is active, and cooldown period has passed. The zones help you understand market context; the signals tell you when to act.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SETTINGS EXPLAINED
CORE SETTINGS:
Analysis Lookback (Default: 20)
Number of bars used for statistical calculations including average volume and average body size. Higher values create smoother but slower-reacting analysis. Lower values are more responsive but may include more noise.
Swing Detection Length (Default: 5)
Bars required on each side to confirm a swing high or low. A setting of 5 means a swing high must have 5 lower highs on each side. Lower values detect more swings (more trap zones, more sensitivity). Higher values find only major pivots (fewer but more significant zones).
Impulse Sensitivity (Default: 1.5)
Multiplier for ATR when detecting impulse moves. Lower values (like 1.0) detect smaller price movements as impulses, refreshing the fuel gauge more frequently. Higher values (like 2.5) require larger moves, making impulse detection less frequent but more significant.
SIGNAL SETTINGS:
Prime/Standard/Caution Thresholds (Defaults: 80/75/65)
These control the quality score required for each signal tier. You can adjust these based on your preference:
- More conservative : Raise thresholds (e.g., 85/80/70) for fewer but higher-quality signals
- More aggressive : Lower thresholds (e.g., 75/70/60) for more signals with slightly lower quality
Signal Cooldown (Default: 8 bars)
Minimum bars between signals to prevent signal spam. After any signal fires, no new signals can appear until this many bars pass. Increase for fewer signals in choppy markets; decrease if you want faster signal refresh.
Show Prime/Standard/Caution/Exhaustion Signals
Toggle each signal type on or off based on your preference.
ZONE DISPLAY:
Show Trap Zones / Entry Zones / Target Zones / Stop Levels
Toggle each zone type on or off. Turning off zones you don't use reduces chart clutter.
Zone Transparency (Default: 88)
Controls how transparent zone boxes appear. Higher values (closer to 95) make zones barely visible; lower values (closer to 75) make them more prominent.
Zone History (Default: 25 bars)
How far back zone boxes extend on the chart. Purely visual preference.
BACKGROUND:
Background Mode (Options: Off, Subtle, Normal)
Controls whether and how intensely the chart background is colored. Subtle is barely noticeable; Normal is more visible; Off disables background coloring entirely.
Background Type (Options: Bias, Fuel)
- Bias : Colors background based on current directional lean (green for long, red for short)
- Fuel : Colors background based on momentum level (green for high fuel, amber for moderate, red for low)
DASHBOARD / QUICK PANEL:
Show Dashboard / Show Quick Panel
Toggle each panel on or off.
Compact Mode
When enabled, the main dashboard shows only essential rows (quality bars, bias, R:R, fuel, session) without entry/stop/target levels, volatility, velocity, or time remaining.
Position Settings
Choose where each panel appears on your chart from six options: Top Right, Top Left, Bottom Right, Bottom Left, Middle Right, Middle Left.
ALERTS:
Alert Prime Signals / Standard Signals / Fuel Exhaustion
Enable or disable TradingView alerts for each condition. When enabled, you can set up alerts in TradingView that will notify you when these conditions occur.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
RECOMMENDED TIMEFRAMES AND USAGE
OPTIMAL TIMEFRAMES:
- 1-minute to 5-minute : Best for active scalping with quick entries and exits
- 5-minute to 15-minute : Balanced scalping with slightly more confirmation
- 15-minute to 1-hour : Short-term swing entries, fewer but more significant signals
Zone visualizations only appear on intraday timeframes to prevent chart clutter on higher timeframes.
BEST PRACTICES:
1. Trade primarily during LONDON, NEW YORK, or OVERLAP sessions. The indicator weights these sessions higher for good reason - liquidity and movement are typically better.
2. Prioritize PRIME signals. These represent the highest confluence and have proven most reliable. Use STANDARD signals as secondary opportunities. Treat CAUTION signals with extra scrutiny.
3. Respect the Fuel Gauge. Avoid entering new positions when fuel is below 40%. When the EXIT signal appears, seriously consider closing or reducing positions.
4. Pay attention to TRAP warnings. When the dashboard shows a trap zone in your bias direction, be cautious about holding through that level.
5. Verify R:R before entry. The dashboard shows the risk-to-reward ratio. Ensure it meets your minimum requirements (many traders require at least 1.5:1 or 2:1).
6. When state shows AVOID or EXIT, step back. These conditions typically produce poor results.
7. Combine with your own analysis. SPM is a decision-support tool, not a standalone system. Use it alongside your understanding of market structure, news events, and overall context.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
PRACTICAL EXAMPLE
Scenario : You're watching a 5-minute chart during London session. A cyan diamond (Prime Long signal) appears below the bar.
Before entering, you check the dashboard:
- State shows "PRIME" - conditions are favorable
- Fuel shows "72% (8)" - plenty of momentum remaining (approximately 8 bars)
- R:R shows "1:2.3" - acceptable risk-to-reward ratio
- Session shows "LONDON" - active session with good liquidity
- No TRAP warning in dashboard - no immediate resistance cluster in your way
- Entry zone visible on chart at a lower price level
- Stop and Target zones clearly marked
With this confluence of factors, you have context for a more informed decision. The signal indicates quality, the fuel suggests momentum remains, the R:R is favorable, and no immediate trap threatens your trade.
However, you also notice the target zone sits just below where a trap zone would be if there were one. This is by design - SPM adjusts targets to avoid placing them inside reversal zones.
This multi-factor confirmation delivered in a single glance is what SPM provides.
Chart Example :This chart demonstrates how the Scalp Precision Matrix identifies key market transitions. After a strong bullish impulse (cyan PRIME signal at ~08:30), price reached a historical reversal cluster (TRAP ZONE at 92,300). The indicator detected momentum exhaustion (purple EXIT signal) as fuel dropped below 20%, warning traders to exit longs. Now showing a SHORT bias with entry/stop/target zones clearly marked. The 92% trap zone confluence indicates a strong cluster of previous swing highs where price historically reversed.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
DATA WINDOW VALUES
For detailed analysis and strategy development, SPM exports the following values to TradingView's Data Window (visible when you hover over the chart with the indicator selected):
- Long Quality Score (0-100)
- Short Quality Score (0-100)
- Fuel Gauge (0-100%)
- Risk:Reward Ratio
These values can be useful for understanding how the indicator behaves over time and for developing your own insights about when it works best for your trading style.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
NON-REPAINTING CONFIRMATION
All signals in SPM are generated using CONFIRMED bar data only. The signal logic references the previous closed bar's values ( and in Pine Script terms). This means:
- Signals appear at the OPEN of the new bar (after the previous bar closes)
- Signals will NEVER disappear once they appear
- Signals will NEVER change position on historical bars
- What you see in backtesting is what you would have seen in real-time
The dashboard and zones update in real-time to provide current market context, but the trading signals themselves are non-repainting.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
IMPORTANT DISCLAIMERS
TERMINOLOGY CLARIFICATION:
This indicator uses terms that might imply access to data it does not have. To be completely transparent:
- "Trap Zones" are calculated from historical swing point clustering. They are NOT institutional liquidity pools, order blocks, smart money footprints, or any form of order flow data. The term "trap" is metaphorical, describing how price has historically reversed at these levels.
- "Fuel Gauge" is a technical momentum proxy. It is NOT order flow, volume profile, depth of market, or bid/ask data. It estimates momentum remaining based entirely on standard OHLCV price and volume data.
- "Quality Scores" are weighted combinations of the technical factors described above. A high score indicates multiple conditions align favorably according to the indicator's logic. It does NOT predict or guarantee trade success.
- The percentages shown on trap zones are CONFLUENCE SCORES measuring cluster density and proximity. They are NOT probability predictions of reversal.
TRADING RISK WARNING:
Trading involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors. This indicator is a technical analysis tool designed to assist with decision-making. It does not constitute financial advice, trading advice, or any other sort of advice. Past performance of any signal or pattern does not guarantee future results. Markets are inherently unpredictable.
Always use proper risk management. Define your risk before entering any trade. Never risk more than you can afford to lose. Consider consulting with a licensed financial advisor before making trading decisions.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
ORIGINALITY STATEMENT - NOT A MASHUP
Scalp Precision Matrix is an original work that combines several analytical concepts into a purpose-built scalping framework. While individual components like ATR calculations, pivot detection, session timing, and trend alignment exist in various forms elsewhere, the specific implementation here represents original synthesis:
- The Fuel Gauge decay model with its four-component weighted calculation
- The Trap Zone cluster detection with confluence scoring
- The multi-factor quality scoring system that integrates all layers
- The trap-aware entry and target zone placement logic
- The volatility regime adaptation across all components
- The session weighting is integrated into the quality assessment
The indicator does not simply overlay separate indicators on one chart. It creates interconnected layers where each component informs and adjusts the others. This integration is the core originality of SPM.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
For best results, combine SPM with your own market understanding and always practice proper risk management.

Supertrend Nova Cloud [Pineify]Supertrend Nova Cloud
Overview
The Supertrend Nova Cloud is a sophisticated trend-following system designed to filter market noise and provide clear, actionable insights into market direction and volatility. By combining two distinct Supertrend calculations—the fast-acting "Nova" and the slower, more robust "Nebula"—this indicator creates a dynamic "Cloud" that visualizes the strength and stability of the current trend. It is engineered to help traders identify strong trending periods, potential pullbacks, and major reversals with greater confidence than a single Supertrend indicator.
Key Features
Dual-Trend Architecture: Utilizes a two-layer approach with a Fast (Nova) and Slow (Nebula) Supertrend to define market structure.
Dynamic Nova Cloud: A visual gradient fill between the two trendlines that adjusts its intensity ("Glow") based on the spread between the trends, representing market volatility.
Smart Candle Coloring: Candles are colored based on the consensus between the two trends, clearly distinguishing between strong trends, pullbacks, and recovery phases.
High-Quality Signals: Buy and Sell signals are filtered and only generated when the major (Slow) trend reverses, reducing false signals during chop.
Real-time Dashboard: An on-chart dashboard displays the current state of both the Nova and Nebula trends for instant analysis.
How It Works
The Supertrend Nova Cloud operates on the principles of Average True Range (ATR) volatility to determine trend direction.
Nova (Fast Trend): Calculated using a shorter ATR length (default 10) and a lower multiplier (default 2.0). This line reacts quickly to price changes, serving as an early warning system or trailing stop for aggressive entries.
Nebula (Slow Trend): Calculated using a longer ATR length (default 20) and a higher multiplier (default 4.0). This line defines the overall market bias and acts as significant support/resistance.
Cloud Gradient Logic: The script calculates the absolute difference (delta) between the Nova and Nebula lines. It compares this delta to its recent historical maximum to determine the opacity of the fill color. A wider spread (higher volatility) results in a brighter, more opaque cloud, while a narrow spread (consolidation) results in a more transparent cloud.
How multiple indicators work together
In trading, a single trend indicator often faces a dilemma: if it's too fast, it gives false signals; if it's too slow, it lags significantly. The Supertrend Nova Cloud solves this by combining both:
The Fast Supertrend captures immediate momentum and provides potential re-entry points during strong trends.
The Slow Supertrend acts as a filter. The script logic enforces that major reversal signals ("NOVA BUY/SELL") are only triggered when this slower, dominant trend changes direction.
By requiring the Slow trend to confirm the reversal, the indicator filters out the "noise" that would typically whip-saw a standard Supertrend.
Trading Ideas and Insights
Trend Riding: When the Cloud is fully Green (Strong Bull) or Red (Strong Bear), and the candles match this color, the trend is established. These are ideal conditions for holding positions.
Pullback Opportunities: If the candles turn a lighter shade (e.g., light red during an uptrend), it indicates the price has broken the Fast trend but holds above the Slow trend. This "Mixed" state often represents a buying opportunity in an uptrend (or selling in a downtrend).
Volatility Expansion: A widening cloud (brighter glow) indicates expanding volatility and often accompanies a strong breakout or trend acceleration.
Unique Aspects
Visual Volatility Feedback: Unlike standard fills, the "Nova Cloud" uses a custom algorithm to adjust transparency based on the relative distance between the two trendlines. This gives traders an intuitive sense of market expansion and contraction.
Nuanced State Detection: The script doesn't just show Up or Down. It identifies four states: Strong Bull, Strong Bear, Fast Bull/Slow Bear (Recovery), and Fast Bear/Slow Bull (Pullback), coding the candles accordingly.
How to Use
Entry: Look for "NOVA BUY" or "NOVA SELL" labels. These appear when the major trend (Nebula) flips, confirming a significant shift in market structure.
Stop Loss: The Nebula (thick) line serves as a robust trailing stop loss. As long as price holds beyond this line, the macro trend remains intact.
Re-Entry/Pyramiding: During a strong trend, if price dips into the cloud (changing candle color to mixed/neutral) and then resumes the trend color, it can be a valid re-entry signal.
Customization
Users can fully customize the indicator via the settings menu:
Nova & Nebula Settings: Adjust the ATR Length and Factor for both the Fast and Slow trends to tune sensitivity for different timeframes or assets.
Visuals: Toggle the Dashboard, Candle Coloring, and customize the colors for Bullish, Bearish, and Neutral states.
Conclusion
The Supertrend Nova Cloud offers a comprehensive visual interface for trend traders. By harmonizing two time horizons of volatility analysis into a single, cohesive display, it simplifies decision-making and helps traders stay on the right side of the major trend while identifying granular opportunities within it.
Guac's MAs, BBs, and ADX (SMA/EMA/BB + ADX/DI + Daily ATR)As someone who browses through numerous TradingView scripts, I find many ideas/functions that I find useful. However, sometimes I find certain features that I don't find useful or that could be added to make something more useful. Because of this I designed this script to collectively encompass functionality of the items/indicators I find useful when looking at an index/equity chart.
This script was desgined/inspired to keep the chart clean while providing signal context for trend, volatility, price action, and regime conditions.
Summary of what this script does:
Plots a compact, customizable set of SMAs + EMAs for structure and trend layering.
Adds Bollinger Bands with expansion/contraction coloring to visualize volatility state.
Optionally overlays ADX/DI regime context, including:
• an ADX-based “regime fill” (temperature-style colors) on the BB fill
• optional DI+ / DI- cross markers for directional shift awareness
• expanded ADX regime labels (Dead Chop → Very Strong/Extended)
• optional “ADX momentum” (smoothed ADX slope) in the status label to show regime acceleration/decay
Provides a small corner “Regime Status Label” that summarizes ADX regime (with numeric ADX) when enabled.
Optionally appends Daily ATR (value + momentum) to the same label for range/volatility context that is consistent across intraday timeframes.
I always find it frustrating when I am testing or playing with someones indicator and they don't have tooltips implemented so that I can understand the purpose of their parameters and the inputs. I have specifically tried to implement tooltip info bubbles next to every parameter input to give a short explanation of the parameter and it's purpose
Advanced Momentum TrackerThe Advanced Momentum Tracker (AMT) is a technical indicator designed to identify high-probability trend reversals and momentum shifts in real-time. Unlike traditional indicators that rely solely on mathematical formulas, AMT analyzes price action structure and historical patterns to detect when market momentum is shifting from bullish to bearish (and vice versa).

Sensitivity Level: Controls how strong a move must be to trigger signals (default: 4)
Higher values = fewer but stronger signals
Lower values = more signals with earlier entries
Position Management:
Enable/disable position filter
Set maximum acceptable risk threshold as percentage
How It Works:-
Momentum Detection Engine: The script continuously monitors price action, tracking each bullish and bearish leg. It maintains arrays of opens, closes, and counts to build a comprehensive picture of market structure.
Pattern Recognition: When price breaks key levels (minimum/maximum of recent candles based on sensitivity), the indicator recognizes a potential momentum shift.
Statistical Validation: The script compares the current pattern against its historical database to calculate the probability of momentum continuation.
Signal Generation: When a valid trend change is detected (and passes the position filter if enabled), entry signals are displayed with corresponding exit zones.
Best Use Cases:
Swing trading on any timeframe (works on 1m to 1D charts)
Trend reversal identification
Momentum trading strategies
Works on all markets: Forex, Stocks, Crypto, Indices, Commodities etc
Recommended Settings:
Scalping/Day Trading: Sensitivity 2-3, Historical Depth 10,000-20,000
Swing Trading: Sensitivity 3-4, Historical Depth 20,000-30,000
Position Trading: Sensitivity 4-5, Historical Depth 30,000+
Important Notes:
Signals appear only on confirmed bars (not on real-time candles unless confirmed)
The momentum score becomes more accurate as more historical data is processed
Position filter should be adjusted based on the volatility of the instrument being traded
Best used in conjunction with proper risk management and position sizing
What Makes This Indicator Unique:
Unlike indicators that simply apply mathematical formulas to price data, AMT learns from historical price behavior. It doesn't just tell you what happened—it tells you what's likely to happen next based on thousands of similar situations in the past. The statistical momentum score provides an edge that pure technical indicators cannot offer.
Disclaimer: This indicator is a tool for technical analysis and should not be used as the sole basis for trading decisions. Always use proper risk management and combine with your own analysis. Happy Trading !!
Liquidity Trend Horizon [Pineify]Pineify - Liquidity Trend Horizon
The Liquidity Trend Horizon is a sophisticated trend-following indicator designed to identify potential liquidity sweep zones while providing clear visual trend direction. It combines adaptive volatility bands with smart liquidity detection to help traders spot high-probability reversal points where institutional activity may be occurring.
Key Features
Dynamic trend baseline using WMA and EMA smoothing
ATR-based volatility bands that adapt to market conditions
Automatic liquidity sweep detection with visual alerts
Gradient-filled channels for intuitive trend visualization
Real-time candle coloring based on trend direction
How It Works
The indicator calculates a weighted moving average (WMA) of the closing price, then applies exponential smoothing (EMA) to create a responsive yet stable baseline. This dual-smoothing approach filters out market noise while maintaining sensitivity to genuine trend changes.
Volatility bands are constructed using a 200-period Average True Range (ATR) multiplied by a user-defined factor. This creates dynamic support and resistance zones that automatically widen during volatile periods and contract during consolidation.
How Multiple Indicators Work Together
The synergy between WMA, EMA, and ATR creates a comprehensive trend analysis system:
The WMA provides the initial trend estimation with emphasis on recent price action
The EMA layer adds smoothness to reduce false signals
The ATR bands define probabilistic boundaries where price is likely to find support or resistance
Trading Ideas and Insights
Liquidity sweeps occur when price wicks beyond the volatility bands but closes back within the channel. These events often indicate:
Stop-loss hunting by larger market participants
False breakouts that may lead to reversals
Areas of accumulated liquidity being absorbed
A bullish sweep (wick below lower band, close above) suggests potential buying opportunity. A bearish sweep (wick above upper band, close below) may signal selling pressure.
Unique Aspects
Unlike traditional channel indicators, the Liquidity Trend Horizon specifically identifies sweep events where price temporarily breaks boundaries before reverting. This behavior is commonly associated with institutional order flow and smart money concepts.
How to Use
Observe the baseline color for overall trend direction (cyan for bullish, purple for bearish)
Watch for sweep markers (🚀 BULL / 📉 BEAR) at band extremes
Use background flashes as immediate alerts for sweep events
Consider entries when sweeps align with the prevailing trend direction
Customization
Trend Period - Adjust baseline sensitivity (default: 24)
Channel Width Multiplier - Control band distance from baseline (default: 2.0)
Smoothness - Fine-tune signal responsiveness (default: 5)
Color Settings - Personalize bullish/bearish colors and transparency
Conclusion
The Liquidity Trend Horizon bridges technical analysis with liquidity concepts, offering traders a unique perspective on market structure. By highlighting potential sweep zones within an adaptive trend framework, it helps identify areas where reversals are statistically more likely to occur.
EMA Slope - RSI Indicator# EMA Slope - RSI Indicator
## Script Description (for Publishing Page)
**EMA Slope - RSI Indicator** combines normalized EMA slope momentum analysis with RSI divergence detection and momentum comparison to create a visual signal indicator with five distinct signal types. The indicator's originality lies in its unique "No Trade Zone" (NTZ) concept applied to slope momentum, combined with centered RSI format for direct comparison, and multiple complementary signal methods that work together to identify both trend-following and reversal opportunities across different market conditions.
**Core Concept - EMA Slope Normalization:** Calculates rate of change of long MA (default 160 EMA) by comparing current value to N bars ago (default 3 bars). Raw slope difference normalized to -100 to +100 scale using 500-bar rolling range: normalizedSlope = 100 * (longMA - longMA ) / (highest(maDF, 500) - lowest(maDF, 500)). Creates consistent momentum oscillator comparable across price levels and timeframes.
**No Trade Zone (NTZ) Logic:** NTZ (±8 default) creates neutral zone where slope momentum is too weak for reliable signals. Indicator only triggers NTZ Cross signals when slope crosses out of threshold zone, ensuring signals occur only when momentum is sufficiently strong.
**Centered RSI Format (RSI-50):** Traditional RSI (0-100 range) difficult to compare with slope. This indicator uses centered RSI = (RSI - 50), creating -50 to +50 range zero-centered on same scale as normalized slope. Enables direct visual and mathematical comparison between RSI and slope momentum, enabling Slope-RSI exhaustion detection and RSI-Slope Oscillator signals.
**Component Integration:** Five signal types target different market conditions. NTZ Cross and Acceleration target trend-following when momentum strong. RSI Divergence and Slope-RSI Divergence target reversals when price/momentum diverge. RSI-Slope Oscillator targets momentum alignment when RSI and slope converge. Multi-method approach provides signals across trending, reversing, and ranging markets.
### 📊 Technical Calculations
**Slope Normalization:** maDF = longMA - longMA , normalized: maDf = 100 * maDF / (highest(maDF, 500) - lowest(maDF, 500)), ranges -100 to +100.
**Acceleration Detection:** maAcce = abs(maDf - maDf ) * smoothBars * 2, normalized: maAcc = 50 * maAcce / highest(maAcce, 200). Values above threshold (35 display, 40 signals) indicate sudden momentum shifts. Visualized as colored circles: cyan (bullish), red (bearish).
**RSI Calculation:** rsi = sma(rsi(source, length), smoothing), centered: cRsi = rsi - 50 (ranges -50 to +50). Smoothed using SMA (default 3 bars) to reduce noise.
**RSI Divergence:** Uses pivot high/low detection on smoothed RSI. Pivot lookback = 16 - sensitivityInput (inverse: sensitivity 6 = 10-bar lookback, sensitivity 10 = 6-bar lookback). Compares price pivots (actual high/low including wicks) against RSI pivots. Bullish: priceLowerLow AND rsiHigherLow. Bearish: priceHigherHigh AND rsiLowerHigh. Stores multiple previous pivots (default 8 max) for comparison.
**Slope-RSI Exhaustion:** Compares normalized slope against centered RSI on same scale. Bearish: slope accelerating up (delta > 0, slope > NTZ) BUT RSI declining (cRsi < cRsi AND cRsi < cRsi ). Bullish: slope accelerating down (delta < 0, slope < -NTZ) BUT RSI rising. Gap threshold (default 10.0 points) filters noise. Visualized with dashed lines and gap labels.
**RSI-Slope Oscillator:** State machine tracks cross events (rsiSlopeCrossUp = cRsi > maDf AND cRsi <= maDf ), waits for confirmation: both RSI and slope heading same direction. Long: RSI crosses above slope AND both heading UP. Short: RSI crosses below slope AND both heading DOWN. Useful for range-bound markets.
**Stretch Filter:** maPercentDiff = (longMA - shortMA) / shortMA * 100. Blocks long signals if longMA > shortMA by threshold (overextended up). Blocks short signals if shortMA > longMA by threshold (overextended down). Default 0.45% prevents signals when MAs too far apart.
**Delta Calculation:** Measures change in normalized slope between bars. Timeframe mode: compares current confirmed slope with previous confirmed (more reliable, slight delay). Standard mode: compares current with previous bar (faster, may use unconfirmed). Minimum threshold (default 3.4) filters weak momentum changes.
**Trailing Stop (Blackflag FTS Swingarm):** Uses Wilder's MA of true range. Modified mode: trueRange = max(HiLo, HRef, LRef) with enhanced gap handling. Unmodified: standard true range. Trailing stop calculated based on ATR factor and price trend direction. Separate settings for divergence signals (wider stops, grace periods).
### 🚀 Signal Types and Conditions
**1. NTZ Cross Signals:** Long: Slope crosses above +NTZ (default +8) AND positive delta ≥ threshold (default 3.4) AND stretch filter allows AND optional trend confirmation (short MA > long MA). Short: Slope crosses below -NTZ AND negative delta ≥ threshold AND filters allow. Exit: Slope re-enters NTZ OR reverses direction for confirmation bars OR trailing stop.
**2. Acceleration Signals:** Long: Acceleration ≥ threshold (default 40) AND slope above NTZ AND positive delta sufficient AND filters allow. Short: Acceleration ≥ threshold AND slope below -NTZ AND negative delta sufficient AND filters allow. Visual: Colored circles (cyan bullish, red bearish). Works independently to catch sudden momentum bursts.
**3. RSI Divergence Signals:** Bullish: Price lower low while smoothed RSI higher low, detected via pivot comparison (default up to 8 pivots). Bearish: Price higher high while RSI lower high. Optional Slope-RSI confirmation. Visual: Purple lines (bearish), lime lines (bullish). Exit: Divergence-specific trailing stop (wider ATR, grace period).
**4. Slope-RSI Divergence Signals:** Bullish: Slope accelerating down (negative delta, slope < -NTZ) BUT RSI rising over lookback AND gap exceeds threshold (default 10.0 points). Bearish: Slope accelerating up (positive delta, slope > NTZ) BUT RSI declining AND gap exceeds threshold. Visual: Orange triangles (bullish exhaustion), yellow triangles (bearish exhaustion) with dashed lines. Exit: Divergence-specific trailing stop.
**5. RSI-Slope Oscillator Signals:** Long: RSI crosses above slope AND both heading upward. Short: RSI crosses below slope AND both heading downward. State machine tracks cross then confirms direction. Exit: Opposite oscillator condition (allows reversal) OR trailing stop after grace period.
### 📖 How to Use

BB Squeeze - HighQToolsBBW Squeeze — HighQTools
As always, if anyone has any tips or additional features they'd like to see, feel free to reach out!
Overview
The BBW Percentile Squeeze highlights periods of exceptionally compressed volatility by measuring Bollinger Band Width (BBW) and ranking it within a rolling historical percentile. When BBW falls into the lowest portion of its own distribution, price is statistically “tight” relative to recent history—a condition that often precedes volatility expansion.
Instead of plotting an oscillator in a separate pane, this tool expresses information directly on the price chart by changing bar colors during squeeze conditions, keeping charts clean and execution-focused.
How It Works
Standard Bollinger Bands are calculated using a configurable length and standard deviation.
Band width is normalized and evaluated against a rolling lookback window.
The current width is converted into a percentile rank (0–100):
Lower percentile = tighter volatility
Higher percentile = expanded volatility
When the percentile drops below the user-defined threshold, the market is considered to be in a squeeze.
An optional RTH-only mode allows the percentile calculation to consider Regular Trading Hours bars only, which is especially useful for futures traders who want to ignore overnight volatility distortions.
Visual Signals
Squeeze Bars
Bars are recolored when BBW percentile falls below the selected threshold, indicating extreme compression.
Release Bar (optional)
The first bar exiting the squeeze can be highlighted separately, marking the resolution of compression.
No oscillator, no bands, no shapes—only context applied directly to price.
How to Use It
The squeeze itself is not a trade signal.
Squeeze conditions indicate stored energy—expect range expansion, not direction.
Focus on:
Market structure
Higher-timeframe context
Volume, delta, or acceptance/rejection
The release from squeeze often provides the best opportunity, especially when aligned with directional bias or structural breaks.
For best results, use this tool as a context filter alongside execution setups rather than as a standalone entry signal.
Recommended Settings
BB Length: 10
Std Dev: 2.0
Percentile Lookback: 200–300 bars
Squeeze Threshold: 5-10 percentile
RTH-only: Enabled for index futures
Disclaimer
This indicator is designed to provide context, not predictions. Always combine volatility information with sound risk management and a complete trading plan.
QUANT TRADING ENGINE [PointAlgo]Quant Trading Engine is a quantitative market-analysis indicator that combines multiple statistical factors to study trend behavior, mean reversion, volatility, execution efficiency, and market stability.
The indicator converts raw price behavior into standardized signals to help evaluate directional bias and risk conditions in a systematic way.
This script focuses on factor alignment and regime awareness, not prediction certainty.
Design Philosophy
Markets move through different regimes such as trending, ranging, volatile expansion, and instability.
This indicator attempts to model these regimes by blending:
Momentum strength
Mean-reversion pressure
Volatility risk
Trend filtering
Execution context (VWAP)
Correlation structure
Each component is normalized and combined into a single Quant Alpha framework.
Factor Construction
1. Momentum Factor
Measures directional strength using percentage price change over a rolling window.
Standardized using mean and standard deviation.
Represents trend continuation pressure.
2. Mean Reversion Factor
Measures deviation from a longer moving average.
Standardized to identify stretched conditions.
Designed to capture counter-trend behavior.
Directional Clamping
Mean-reversion signals are dynamically restricted:
No counter-trend buying during downtrends.
No counter-trend selling during uptrends.
Allows both sides only in neutral regimes.
This prevents conflicting signals in strong trends.
3. Volatility Factor
Uses realized volatility derived from price changes.
Penalizes environments where volatility deviates significantly from its norm.
Acts as a risk adjustment rather than a directional driver.
4. Composite Quant Alpha
The final Quant Alpha is a weighted blend of:
Momentum
Mean reversion (trend-clamped)
Volatility risk
The composite is standardized into a Z-score, allowing consistent interpretation across instruments and timeframes.
Signal Logic
Buy signal occurs when Quant Alpha crosses above zero.
Sell signal occurs when Quant Alpha crosses below zero.
Zero-cross logic is used to represent shifts from negative to positive statistical bias and vice versa.
Signals reflect statistical regime change, not trade instructions.
Volatility Smile Context
Measures price deviation from its statistical distribution.
Identifies skewed conditions where upside or downside volatility becomes dominant.
Highlights extreme deviations that may imply elevated derivative risk.
Exotic Risk Conditions
Detects sudden price expansion combined with volatility spikes.
Highlights environments where execution and risk become unstable.
Visual background cues are used for awareness only.
Execution Context (VWAP)
Measures price distance from VWAP.
Used to assess execution efficiency rather than direction.
Helps identify stretched conditions relative to average traded price.
Correlation Structure
Evaluates short-term return correlations.
Detects when price behavior becomes less predictable.
Flags structural instability rather than trend direction.
Visualization
The indicator plots:
Quant Alpha (scaled) with directional coloring
Volatility smile deviation
Price vs VWAP distance
Correlation structure
Signal markers indicate Quant Alpha zero-cross events and risk conditions.
Dashboard
A compact dashboard summarizes:
Trend filter state
Quant Alpha polarity and value
Individual factor readings
Current action state (Buy / Sell / Wait / Risk)
The dashboard provides a real-time snapshot of internal model conditions.
Usage Notes
Designed for analytical interpretation and research.
Best used alongside price action and risk management tools.
Factor behavior depends on instrument liquidity and volatility.
Not optimized for illiquid or irregular markets.

MFM – Light Context HUD (Minimal)Overview
MFM Light Context HUD is the free version of the Market Framework Model. It gives you a fast and clean view of the current market regime and phase without signals or chart noise. The HUD shows whether the asset is in a bullish or bearish environment and whether it is in a volatile, compression, drift, or neutral phase. This helps you read structure at a glance.
Asset availability
The free version works only on a selected list of five assets.
Supported symbols are
SP:SPX
TVC:GOLD
BINANCE:BTCUSD
BINANCE:ETHUSDT
OANDA:EURUSD
All other assets show a context banner only.
How it works
The free version uses fixed settings based on the original MFM model. It calculates the regime using a higher timeframe RSI ratio and identifies the current phase using simplified momentum conditions. The chart stays clean. Only a small HUD appears in the top corner. Full visual phases, ratio logic, signals, and auto tune are part of the paid version.
The free version shows the phase name only. It does not display colored phase zones on the chart.
Phase meaning
The Market Framework Model uses four structural phases to describe how the market
behaves. These are not signals but context layers that show the underlying environment.
Volatile (Phase 1)
The market is in a fast, unstable or directional environment. Price can move aggressively with
stronger momentum swings.
Compression (Phase 2)
The market is in a contracting state. Momentum slows and volatility decreases. This phase
often appears before expansion, but it does not predict direction.
Drift (Phase 3)
The market moves in a more controlled, persistent manner. Trends are cleaner and volatility
is lower compared to volatile phases.
No phase
No clear structural condition is active.
These phases describe market structure, not trade entries. They help you understand the conditions you are trading in.
Cross asset context
The Market Framework Model reads markets as a multi layer system. The full version includes cross asset analysis to show whether the asset is acting as a leader or lagger relative to its benchmark. The free version uses the same internal benchmark logic for regime detection but does not display the cross asset layer on the chart.
Cross asset structure is a core part of the MFM model and is fully available in the paid version.
Included in this free version
Higher timeframe regime
Current phase name
Clean chart output
Context only
Works on a selected set of assets
Not included
No forecast signals

True Strength Index with Crossovers Alerts🚀 True Strength Index (TSI) with Visual Crossover Alerts
Hey everyone! I’m sharing my customized True Strength Index (TSI) indicator, which I've boosted with clear visual signals and alert conditions based on my personal, high-probability trading strategy.
The True Strength Index is a powerful, oscillation-based momentum indicator that smooths price movements twice using Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs). This double-smoothing process helps to filter out market noise, giving you a much clearer view of momentum changes than basic indicators.
🛠️ How This Script Works
This script focuses on the crucial interaction between the TSI line and its Signal Line:
TSI Line (Blue): Tracks momentum direction and strength.
Signal Line (Red): A simple EMA of the TSI line, used to determine short-term trend shifts.
Visual Buy/Sell Signals:
To make signals impossible to miss, I've added distinct visual markers:
🟢 Green Dot: A "Buy Signal" is plotted at the bottom of the indicator pane when the TSI crosses above the Signal Line (bullish crossover).
🔴 Red Dot: A "Sell Signal" is plotted at the bottom when the TSI crosses below the Signal Line (bearish crossover).
Additionally, I've included named alertconditions so you can set up real-time notifications for these exact crossovers in the TradingView Alert system.
🧠 My Trading Logic: Combining TSI with RSI
I don't use the TSI in isolation. My favorite approach is to use this TSI indicator as a timing tool, but only when it aligns with the overall momentum context defined by the Relative Strength Index (RSI).
This is the key to my strategy:
Bullish Trade Filter: I only take a BUY signal (Green Dot) when my RSI indicator is already in a bullish territory (above 50).
Bearish Trade Filter: I only take a SELL signal (Red Dot) when my RSI indicator is already in a bearish territory (below 50).
This combination ensures you are trading with the underlying momentum trend, improving the probability of success.
⚙️ My Recommended Custom Settings
For the best results with this strategy, I recommend using the following custom settings. You can enter these values in the "Inputs" tab when adding the indicator to your chart.
1. TSI (Alerts) Settings
Long Length - 60
Higher value for smoother price change data.
Short Length -30
Medium-term smoothing for clearer momentum shifts.
Signal Length - 9
Short length for a responsive signal line.
2. Companion RSI Settings (RSI+)
RSI Length - 150
A long look-back period for highly accurate trend filtering.
MA1 Length - 60
Used for additional smoothing.
MA2 Length - 150
Used for powerful trend confluence.
🔥 QUANT MOMENTUM SKORQUANT MOMENTUM SCORE – Description (EN)
Summary: This indicator fuses Price ROC, RSI, MACD, Trend Strength (ADX+EMA) and Volume into a single 0-100 “Momentum Score.” Guide bands (50/60/70/80) and ready-to-use alert conditions are included.
How it works
Price Momentum (ROC): Rate of change normalized to 0-100.
RSI Momentum: RSI treated as a momentum proxy and mapped to 0-100.
MACD Momentum: MACD histogram normalized to capture acceleration.
Trend Strength: ADX is direction-aware (DI+ vs DI–) and blended with EMA state (above/below) to form a combined trend score.
Volume Momentum: Volume relative to its moving average (ratio-based).
Weighting: All five components are weighted, auto-normalized, and summed into the final 0-100 score.
Visuals & Alerts: Score line with 50/60/70/80 guides; threshold-cross alerts for High/Strong/Ultra-Strong regimes.
Inputs, weights and thresholds are configurable; total weights are normalized automatically.
How to use
Timeframes: Works on any timeframe—lower TFs react faster; higher TFs reduce noise.
Reading the score:
<50: Weak momentum
50-60: Transition
60-70: Moderate-Strong (potential acceleration)
≥70: Strong, ≥80: Ultra Strong
Practical tip: Use it as a filter, not a stand-alone signal. Combine score breakouts with market structure/trend context (e.g., pullback-then-re-acceleration) to improve selectivity.

HTF Candles with PVSRA Volume Coloring (PCS Series)This indicator displays higher timeframe (HTF) candles using a PVSRA-inspired color model that blends price and volume strength, allowing traders to visualize higher-timeframe activity directly on lower-timeframe charts without switching screens.
OVERVIEW
This script visualizes higher-timeframe (HTF) candles directly on lower-timeframe charts using a custom PVSRA (Price, Volume & Support/Resistance Analysis) color model.
Unlike standard HTF indicators, it aggregates real-time OHLC and volume data bar-by-bar and dynamically draws synthetic HTF candles that update as the higher-timeframe bar evolves.
This allows traders to interpret momentum, trend continuation, and volume pressure from broader market structures without switching charts.
INTEGRATION LOGIC
This script merges higher-timeframe candle projection with PVSRA volume analysis to provide a single, multi-timeframe momentum view.
The HTF structure reveals directional context, while PVSRA coloring exposes the underlying strength of buying and selling pressure.
By combining both, traders can see when a higher-timeframe candle is building with strong or weak volume, enabling more informed intraday decisions than either tool could offer alone.
HOW IT WORKS
Aggregates price data : Groups lower-timeframe bars to calculate higher-timeframe Open, High, Low, Close, and total Volume.
Applies PVSRA logic : Compares each HTF candle’s volume to the average of the last 10 bars:
• >200% of average = strong activity
• >150% of average = moderate activity
• ≤150% = normal activity
Assigns colors :
• Green/Blue = bullish high-volume
• Red/Fuchsia = bearish high-volume
• White/Gray = neutral or low-volume moves
Draws dynamic outlines : Outlines update live while the current HTF candle is forming.
Supports symbol override : Calculations can use another instrument for correlation analysis.
This multi-timeframe aggregation avoids repainting issues in request.security() and ensures accurate real-time HTF representation.
FEATURES
Dual HTF Display : Visualize two higher timeframes simultaneously (e.g., 4H and 1D).
Dynamic PVSRA Coloring : Volume-weighted candle colors reveal bullish or bearish dominance.

TRADING STRATEGY
Strategy Overview : Combine HTF structure and PVSRA volume signals to
• Identify zones of high institutional activity and potential reversals.
• Wait for confirmation through consolidation or a pullback to key levels.
• Trade in alignment with dominant higher-timeframe structure rather than chasing volatility.
Setup :
• Chart timeframe: lower (5m, 15m, 1H)
• HTF 1: 4H or 1D
• HTF 2: 1D or 1W
• PVSRA Colors: enabled
• Outlines: enabled
Entry Concept :
High-volume candles (green or red) often indicate market-maker activity , such zones often reflect liquidity absorption by larger players and are not necessarily ideal entry points.
Wait for the next consolidation or pullback toward a support or resistance level before acting.
Bullish scenario :
• After a high-volume or rejection candle near a low, price consolidates and forms a higher low.
• Enter long only when structure confirms strength above support.
Bearish scenario :
• After a high-volume or rejection candle near a top, price consolidates and forms a lower high.
• Enter short once resistance holds and momentum weakens.
Exit Guidelines :
• Exit when next HTF candle shifts in color or momentum fades.
• Exit if price structure breaks opposite to your trade direction.
• Always use stop-loss and take-profit levels.
Additional Tips :
• Never enter directly on strong green/red high-volume candles, these are usually areas of institutional absorption.
• Wait for market structure confirmation and volume normalization.
• Combine with RSI, moving averages, or support/resistance for timing.
• Avoid trading when HTF candles are mixed or low-volume (unclear bias).
• Outlines hidden below 5m charts.
Risk Management :
• Use stop-loss and take-profit on all positions.
• Limit risk to 1–2% per trade.
• Adjust position size for volatility.

Momentum Variance OscillatorWhat MVO measures:
-PV (Price-Volume) Oscillator – how far price is from a volatility-scaled basis, then weighted by relative volume.
- > 0 = bullish pressure; < 0 = bearish pressure.
-|PV| larger ⇒ stronger momentum.
-Signal line (EMA of PV) – a smoother track of PV; crossings flag momentum shifts.
-Zero line gradient – instantly shows direction (greenish bull / reddish bear) and strength (paler → stronger).
-Extreme bands (±obLevel) – “hot zone” thresholds; being beyond them = exceptional push.
-Variance histogram – MACD-like view (PV minus slower PV-EMA) to see thrust building vs. fading.
-(Optional) Bar coloring & background tint – paints price bars and/or the panel on key events so you can read the regime at a glance.
-Auto-Tune – searches a grid of (obLevel, weakLvl) pairs and (optionally) auto-applies the best, ranked by CAGR vs. drawdown.
Core signals & how to trade them:
1) Define the regime:
-Bullish regime: PV above 0 and/or PV above Signal; zero line is in bull gradient.
-Bearish regime: PV below 0 and/or PV below Signal; zero line is in bear gradient.
-Action: Prefer trades with the regime (avoid fading strong color/strength unless you have a clear reversal setup).
2) Entries:
Momentum entry:
-Long: PV crosses above Signal while PV > 0.
-Short: PV crosses below Signal while PV < 0.
Breakout/acceleration:
-Long add-on: PV crosses above +obLevel (extreme top) and holds.
-Short add-on: PV crosses below −obLevel (extreme bottom) and holds.
-Histogram confirm: Growing bars in your direction = thrust improving; shrinking/flip = thrust stalling.
3) Exits / risk:
-Soft exit / tighten stops: PV loses the extreme and re-enters inside, or histogram fades/turns against you.
-Hard exit / reverse: Opposite PV↔Signal crossover and PV crosses the zero line.
-Weak zone filter: If |PV| < weakLvl, treat signals as lower quality (smaller size or skip).
4) Practical setup - Suggested defaults (good starting point):
-Signal length: 26
-Volume power: 0.50
-obLevel (extreme): 2.00
-weakLvl: 0.75
-Show histogram & dots: On
-Auto-Tune (recommended)
-Turn Auto-Select Best ON. MVO will scan obLevel 1.50→3.00 (step 0.05) and weakLvl 0.50→1.00 (step 0.05), then use the top-ranked pair (CAGR/(1+MDD)).
-If you want to see the top combos, enable the Optimizer Table (Top-3).
5) Visual options
-Bar Colors: Regime+Strength – bars follow the zero-line gradient (great for quick read).
-Extremes – paint only when beyond ±obLevel.
-Cross Signals – paint only on the bar that crosses an extreme.
-Background on breach: A one-bar tint when PV crosses an extreme.
6) Example playbook:
Long setup:
-Zero line shows bull gradient and PV > 0.
-PV crosses above Signal (entry).
-If PV drives above +obLevel, consider add-on; trail under the last minor swing or use ATR.
-Exit/trim on PV crossing below Signal or histogram turning negative; flatten on a drop through 0.
Short setup mirrors the above on the bear side.
7) Tips to avoid common traps:
-Don’t fade strong extremes without clear confirmation (e.g., PV re-entering inside + histogram flip).
-Respect the weak zone: if |PV| < weakLvl, signals are fragile—size down or wait.
-Align with structure: higher-timeframe trend and SR improve expectancy.
-Instrument personality matters: use Auto-Tune or re-calibrate obLevel/weakLvl across assets/timeframes.
8) Alerts you can set:
-Bull Signal X – PV crossed above Signal
-Bear Signal X – PV crossed below Signal
-Bull Baseline X – PV crossed above 0
-Bear Baseline X – PV crossed below 0
Cycle-Synced Channel Breakout📌 Cycle-Synced Channel Breakout – Detect Breakouts Confirmed by Candles and Momentum Cycles
📖 Overview
The Cycle-Synced Channel Breakout indicator is a precision breakout detection tool that combines the power of:
• Adaptive Keltner Channels
• Dominant Cycle Period Analysis (Ehlers-inspired)
• Candlestick Pattern Recognition (Engulfing)
This multi-layered approach helps identify true breakout opportunities by filtering out noise and false signals, making it ideal for swing traders and intraday traders seeking high-probability directional moves.
⚙️ How It Works
1. Keltner Channel Envelope
A dynamic volatility channel based on the EMA and ATR defines the upper and lower bounds of price movement.
2. Engulfing Candle Detection
The script detects strong bullish and bearish engulfing patterns, which often signal trend reversals or momentum continuations.
3. Dominant Cycle Momentum (Ehlers-inspired)
Using a smoothed power oscillator derived from a detrended price series, the indicator assesses whether momentum is accelerating during the breakout — filtering out weak moves.
4. Signal Confirmation Logic
A signal is only shown when:
• An engulfing pattern is detected, and
• Price breaks out of the Keltner Channel, and
• Momentum (cycle power) is rising
5. Visual Feedback
• Breakout signals are plotted with “BUY” or “SELL” labels
• Faded green/red background highlights confirmed breakouts
• Optional display of engulfing candles with triangle markers
⸻
🛠️ Key Features
• ✅ Adaptive Keltner Channels
• ✅ Bullish/Bearish Engulfing Candle Recognition
• ✅ Ehlers-style Cycle Momentum Confirmation
• ✅ Background highlights for confirmed breakouts
• ✅ Optional candle pattern visualization
• ✅ Lightweight and Pine v6 compatible
⸻
🧪 Inputs
• Keltner Length – EMA period for channel basis
• Multiplier – Multiplied with ATR to determine band width
• Cycle Lookback – Used to calculate smoothed cycle power
• Show Engulfing Candles? – Toggles candlestick signals
• Show Breakout Signals? – Toggles breakout labels and backgrounds
⸻
🧠 How to Use
• Look for “BUY” or “SELL” labels when:
• An engulfing candle breaks through the Keltner Channel
• Cycle momentum confirms strength behind the move
• The background color will faintly highlight the breakout direction.
• Use in combination with other trend or volume indicators for added confluence.
🔒 Notes
• This indicator is not repainting.
• It is designed for educational and research purposes only.
• Works across all timeframes and asset classes (stocks, crypto, forex, etc.)
Momentum Shift Oscillator (MSO) [SharpStrat]Momentum Shift Oscillator (MSO)
The Momentum Shift Oscillator (MSO) is a custom-built oscillator that combines the best parts of RSI, ROC, and MACD into one clean, powerful indicator. Its goal is to identify when momentum shifts are happening in the market, filtering out noise that a single momentum tool might miss.
Why MSO?
Most traders rely on just one momentum indicator like RSI, MACD, or ROC. Each has strengths, but also weaknesses:
RSI → great for overbought/oversold, but often lags in strong trends.
ROC (Rate of Change) → captures price velocity, but can be too noisy.
MACD Histogram → shows trend strength shifts, but reacts slowly at times.
By blending all three (with adjustable weights), MSO gives a balanced view of momentum. It captures trend strength, velocity, and exhaustion in one oscillator.
How MSO Works
Inputs:
RSI, ROC, and MACD Histogram are calculated with user-defined lengths.
Each is normalized (so they share the same scale of -100 to +100).
You can set weights for RSI, ROC, and MACD to emphasize different components.
The components are blended into a single oscillator value.
Smoothing (SMA, EMA, or WMA) is applied.
MSO plots as a smooth line, color-coded by slope (green rising, red falling).
Overbought and oversold levels are plotted (default: +60 / -60).
A zero line helps identify bullish vs bearish momentum shifts.
How to trade with MSO
Zero line crossovers → crossing above zero suggests bullish momentum; crossing below zero suggests bearish momentum.
Overbought and oversold zones → values above +60 may indicate exhaustion in bullish moves; values below -60 may signal exhaustion in bearish moves.
Slope of the line → a rising line shows strengthening momentum, while a falling line signals fading momentum.
Divergences → if price makes new highs or lows but MSO does not, it can point to a possible reversal.
Why MSO is Unique
Combines trend + momentum + velocity into one view.
Filters noise better than standalone RSI/MACD.
Adapts to both trend-following and mean-reversion styles.
Can be used across any timeframe for confirmation.
Yelober - Market Internal direction+ Key levelsYelober – Market Internals + Key Levels is a focused intraday trading tool that helps you spot high-probability price direction by anchoring decisions to structure that matters: yesterday’s RTH High/Low, today’s pre-market High/Low, and a fast Value Area/POC from the prior session. Paired with a compact market internals dashboard (NYSE/NASDAQ UVOL vs. DVOL ratios, VOLD slopes, TICK/TICKQ momentum, and optional VIX trend), it gives you a real-time read on breadth so you can choose which direction to trade, when to enter (breaks, retests, or fades at PMH/PML/VAH/VAL/POC), and how to plan exits as internals confirm or deteriorate. On top of these intraday decision benefits, it also allows traders—in a very subtle but powerful way—to keep an eye on the VIX and immediately recognize significant spikes or sharp decreases that should be factored in before entering a trade, or used as a quick signal to modify an existing position. In short: clear levels for the chart, live internals for the context, and a smarter, rules-based path to execution.
# Yelober – Market Internals + Key Levels
*A TradingView indicator for session key levels + real‑time market internals (NYSE/NASDAQ TICK, UVOL/DVOL/VOLD, and VIX).*
**Script name in Pine:** `Yelober - Market Internal direction+ Key levels` (Pine v6)
---
## 1) What this indicator does
**Purpose:** Help intraday traders quickly find high‑probability reaction zones and read market internals momentum without switching charts. It overlays yesterday/today’s **automatic price levels** on your active chart and shows a **market breadth table** that summarizes NYSE/NASDAQ buying pressure and TICK direction, with an optional VIX trend read.
### Key features at a glance
* **Automatic Price Levels (overlay on chart)**
* Yesterday’s High/Low of Day (**yHoD**, **yLoD**)
* Extended Hours High/Low (**yEHH**, **yEHL**) across yesterday AH + today pre‑market
* Today’s Pre‑Market High/Low (**PMH**, **PML**)
* Yesterday’s **Value Area High/Low** (**VAH/VAL**) and **Point of Control (POC)** computed from a volume profile of yesterday’s **regular session**
* Smart de‑duplication:
* Shows **only the higher** of (yEHH vs PMH) and **only the lower** of (yEHL vs PML) to avoid redundant bands
* **Market Breadth Table (on‑chart table)**
* **NYSE ratio** = UVOL/DVOL (signed) with **VOLD slope** from session open
* **NASDAQ ratio** = UVOLQ/DVOLQ (signed) with **VOLDQ slope** from session open
* **TICK** and **TICKQ**: live cumulative ratio and short‑term slope
* **VIX** (optional): current value + slope over a configurable lookback/timeframe
* Color‑coded trends with sensible thresholds and optional normalization
---
## 2) How to use it (trader workflow)
1. **Mark your reaction zones**
* Watch **yHoD/yLoD**, **PMH/PML**, and **VAH/VAL/POC** for first touches, break/retest, and failure tests.
* Expect increased responsiveness when multiple levels cluster (e.g., PMH ≈ VAH ≈ daily pivot).
2. **Read the breadth panel for context**
* **NYSE/NASDAQ ratio** (>1 = more up‑volume than down‑volume; <−1 = down‑dominant). Strong green across both favors long setups; red favors short setups.
* **VOLD slopes** (NYSE & NASDAQ): positive and accelerating → broadening participation; negative → persistent pressure.
* **TICK/TICKQ**: cumulative ratio and **slope arrows** (↗ / ↘ / →). Use the slope to gauge **near‑term thrust or fade**.
* **VIX slope**: rising VIX (red) often coincides with risk‑off; falling VIX (green) with risk‑on.
3. **Confluence = higher confidence**
* Example: Price reclaims **PMH** while **NYSE/NASDAQ ratios** print green and **TICK slopes** point ↗ — consider break‑and‑go; if VIX slope is ↘, that adds risk‑on confidence.
* Example: Price rejects **VAH** while **VOLD slopes** roll negative and VIX ↗ — consider fade/reversal.
4. **Risk management**
* Place stops just beyond key levels tested; if breadth flips, tighten or exit.
> **Timeframes:** Works best on 1–15m charts for intraday. Value Area is computed from **yesterday’s RTH**; choose a smaller calculation timeframe (e.g., 5–15m) for stable profiles.
---
## 3) Inputs & settings (what each option controls)
### Global Style
* **Enable all automatic price levels**: master toggle for yHoD/yLoD, yEHH/yEHL, PMH/PML, VAH/VAL/POC.
* **Line style/width**: applies to all drawn levels.
* **Label size/style** and **label color linking**: use the same color as the line or override with a global label color.
* **Maximum bars lookback**: how far the script scans to build yesterday metrics (performance‑sensitive).
### Value Area / Volume Profile
* **Enable Value Area calculations** *(on by default)*: computes yesterday’s **POC**, **VAH**, **VAL** from a simplified intraday volume profile built from yesterday’s **regular session bars**.
* **Max Volume Profile Points** *(default 50)*: lower values = faster; higher = more precise.
* **Value Area Calculation Timeframe** *(default 15)*: the security timeframe used when collecting yesterday’s highs/lows/volumes.
### Individual Level Toggles & Colors
* **yHoD / yLoD** (yesterday high/low)
* **yEHH / yEHL** (yesterday AH + today pre‑market extremes)
* **PMH / PML** (today pre‑market extremes)
* **VAH / VAL / POC** (yesterday RTH value area + point of control)
### Market Breadth Panel
* **Show NYSE / NASDAQ / VIX**: choose which series to display in the table.
* **Table Position / Size / Background Color**: UI placement and legibility.
* **Slope Averaging Periods** *(default 5)*: number of recent TICK/TICKQ ratio points used in slope calculation.
* **Candles for Rate** *(default 10)* & **Normalize Rate**: VIX slope calculation as % change between `now` and `n` candles ago; normalize divides by `n`.
* **VIX Timeframe**: optionally compute VIX on a higher TF (e.g., 15, 30, 60) for a smoother regime read.
* **Volume Normalization** (NYSE & NASDAQ): display VOLD slopes scaled to `tens/thousands/millions/10th millions` for readable magnitudes; color thresholds adapt to your choice.
---
## 4) Data sources & definitions
* **UVOL/VOLD (NYSE)** and **UVOLQ/DVOLQ/VOLDQ (NASDAQ)** via `request.security()`
* **Ratio** = `UVOL/DVOL` (signed; negative when down‑volume dominates)
* **VOLD slope** ≈ `(VOLD_now − VOLD_open) / bars_since_open`, then normalized per your setting
* **TICK/TICKQ**: cumulative sum of prints this session with **positives vs negatives ratio**, plus a simple linear regression **slope** of the last `N` ratio values
* **VIX**: value and slope across a user‑selected timeframe and lookback
* **Sessions (EST/EDT)**
* **Regular:** 09:30–16:00
* **Pre‑Market:** 04:00–09:30
* **After Hours:** 16:00–20:00
* **Extended‑hours extremes** combine **yesterday AH** + **today PM**
> **Note:** All session checks are done with TradingView’s `time(…,"America/New_York")` context. If your broker’s RTH differs (e.g., futures), adjust expectations accordingly.
---
## 5) How the algorithms work (plain English)
### A) Key Levels
* **Yesterday’s RTH High/Low**: scans yesterday’s bars within 09:30–16:00 and records the extremes + bar indices.
* **Extended Hours**: scans yesterday AH and today PM to get **yEHH/yEHL**. Script shows **either yEHH or PMH** (whichever is **higher**) and **either yEHL or PML** (whichever is **lower**) to avoid duplicate bands stacked together.
* **Value Area & POC (RTH only)**
* Build a coarse volume profile with `Max Volume Profile Points` buckets across the price range formed by yesterday’s RTH bars.
* Distribute each bar’s volume uniformly across the buckets it spans (fast approximation to keep Pine within execution limits).
* **POC** = bucket with max volume. **VA** expands from POC outward until **70%** of cumulative volume is enclosed → yields **VAH/VAL**.
### B) Market Breadth Table
* **NYSE/NASDAQ Ratio**: signed UVOL/DVOL with basic coloring.
* **VOLD Slopes**: from session open to current, normalized to human‑readable units; colors flip green/red based on thresholds that map to your normalization setting (e.g., ±2M for NYSE, ±3.5×10M for NASDAQ).
* **TICK/TICKQ Slope**: linear regression over the last `N` ratio points → **↗ / → / ↘** with the rounded slope value.
* **VIX Slope**: % change between now and `n` candles ago (optionally divided by `n`). Red when rising beyond threshold; green when falling.
---
## 6) Recommended presets
* **Stocks (liquid, intraday)**
* Value Area **ON**, `Max Volume Points` = **40–60**, **Timeframe** = **5–15**
* Breadth: show **NYSE & NASDAQ & VIX**, `Slope periods` = **5–8**, `Candles for rate` = **10–20**, **Normalize VIX** = **ON**
* **Index futures / very high‑volume symbols**
* If you see Pine timeouts, set `Max Volume Points` = **20–40** or temporarily **disable Value Area**.
* Keep breadth panel **ON** (it’s light). Consider **VIX timeframe = 15/30** for regime clarity.
---
## 7) Tips, edge cases & performance
* **Performance:** The volume profile is capped (`maxBarsToProcess ≤ 500` and bucketed) to keep it responsive. If you experience slowdowns, reduce `Max Volume Points`, `Maximum bars lookback`, or disable Value Area.
* **Redundant lines:** The script **intentionally suppresses** PMH/PML when yEHH/yEHL are more extreme, and vice‑versa.
* **Label visibility:** Use `Label style = none` if you only want clean lines and read values from the right‑end labels.
* **Futures/RTH differences:** Value Area is from **yesterday’s RTH** only; for 24h instruments the RTH period may not reflect overnight structure.
* **Session transitions:** PMH/PML tracking stops as soon as RTH starts; values persist as static levels for the session.
---
## 8) Known limitations
* Uses public TradingView symbols: `UVOL`, `VOLD`, `UVOLQ`, `DVOLQ`, `VOLDQ`, `TICK`, `TICKQ`, `VIX`. If your data plan or region limits any symbol, the corresponding table rows may show `na`.
* The VA/POC approximation assumes uniform distribution of each bar’s volume across its high–low. That’s fast but not a tick‑level profile.
* Works best on US equities with standard NY session; alternative sessions may need code changes.
---
## 9) Troubleshooting
* **“Script is too slow / timed out”** → Lower `Max Volume Points`, lower `Maximum bars lookback`, or toggle **OFF** `Enable Value Area calculations` for that instrument.
* **Missing breadth values** → Ensure the symbols above load on your account; try reloading chart or switching timeframes once.
* **Overlapping labels** → Set `Label style = none` or reduce label size.
---
## 10) Version / license / contribution

---
## 11) Quick start (TL;DR)
1. Add the indicator and **keep default settings**.
2. Trade **reactions** at yHoD/yLoD/PMH/PML/VAH/VAL/POC.
3. Use the **breadth table**: look for **green ratios + ↗ slopes** (risk‑on) or **red ratios + ↘ slopes** (risk‑off). Check **VIX** slope for confirmation.
4. Manage risk around levels; when breadth flips against you, tighten or exit.

The Great Anchors: Dual AVWAP Powered by RSI
The Great Anchors
*Dual Anchored Volume Weighted Average Price Powered by RSI*
---
📌 Overview
The Great Anchors is a dual AVWAP-based indicator that resets dynamically using RSI extremes — either from the current asset or a master symbol (e.g., BTCUSDT). It identifies meaningful shifts in price structure and momentum using these "anchored" levels.
It’s designed to help traders spot trend continuations, momentum inflection points, and entry signals aligned with overbought/oversold conditions — but only when the market confirms through volume-weighted price direction.
---
🛠 Core Logic
• AVWAP 1 (favwap): Anchored when RSI reaches overbought levels (top anchor)
• AVWAP 2 (savwap): Anchored when RSI reaches oversold levels (bottom anchor)
• AVWAPs are recalculated each time a new OB/OS condition is triggered — acting like "fresh anchors" at key market turning points.
---
⚙️ Key Features
🔁 Auto or Manual RSI Thresholds
→ Automatically determines dynamic RSI OB/OS levels based on past peaks and troughs, or lets you set fixed levels.
🧠 Master Symbol Control
→ Use the RSI of a separate asset (like BTCUSDT, ETHUSDT, SOLUSDT, BNBUSDT, SUPRAUSDT) or indices (like TOTAL, TOTAL2, BFR) to control resets — ideal for tracking how BTC/major coins impacts altcoins/others.
🔍 Trend-Filtering Signal Logic
→ Signals are filtered for less noise and are triggered when:
- Both AVWAPs are rising (bullish) or falling (bearish)
- Price action confirms the structure
🎯 Visual Markers & Alerts
→ "💥" for bullish signals and "🔥" for bearish ones. Alerts included for automation or push notifications.
---
🎯 How to Use It
1. Add the indicator to your chart.
2. Choose whether to use RSI from the current symbol or a master symbol (e.g., BTC).
3. Select auto-adjusted or manual OB/OS levels.
4. Watch for:
- AVWAP(s) making a significant change (at this point it's one of the AVWAPs resetting)
- Check if price flip it upwards or downwards
- If price goes above both AVWAPs thats a likely bullish trend
- If price can't go above both AVWAPs up and fall bellow both that's a likely bearish trend
- Price retesting upper AVWAP and bounce
- likely bullish continuation
- Price retesting lower AVWAP and dip
- likely bearish continuation
- Signal icons on chart ("💥 - Bullish" or "🔥- Bearish")
Best suited for:
• Swing traders
• Momentum traders
• Traders timing altcoin entries using BTC/Major asset's RSI
---
🔔 Signal Explanation
💥 Bullish Signal =
• Both AVWAPs rising
• Higher lows in price structure
• Bullish candle close
• Triggered from overbought RSI reset
🔥 Bearish Signal =
• Both AVWAPs falling
• Lower highs in price structure
• Bearish candle close
• Triggered from oversold RSI reset
Signals reset by opposite signals to prevent noise or overfitting.
---
⚠️ Tips & Notes
• Use AVWAPs as dynamic support/resistance, even without signal triggers
• Pair with volume or divergence tools for stronger confirmation
---
🧩 Credits & Philosophy
This tool is built with a simple philosophy:
"Anchor your trades to meaningful moments in price — not arbitrary time."
The dual AVWAP concept helps you see how price reacts after momentum peaks, giving you a cleaner bias and more precise trade setups.

Zigzag Simple [SCL]🟩 OVERVIEW
Draws zigzag lines from pivot Highs to pivot Lows. You can choose between three different ways of calculating pivots:
• True Highs and Lows
• Williams pivots
• Oscillator pivots
🟩 HOW TO USE
This indicator can be used to understand market structure, which is arguably the primary thing you need to be aware of when trading. The zigzag by itself does not display a market structure bias, nor any information about prices of pivots, HH and HL labels, or anything like that. Nevertheless, a simple zigzag is perhaps the easiest and most intuitive way to understand what price is doing.
Choose a pivot style that you like, customise the colours and line style, and enjoy!
🟩 PIVOT TYPES EXPLAINED
True Highs and Lows
This is not an invention of mine (all credit to my humble mentor), but I haven't seen anyone else code them up. A true High is a close below the low of the candle with the highest high. A true Low is a close above the high of a candle with the lowest low. These are solid, price action-based pivots that can sometimes confirm quickly.
Williams pivots
This is how most people calculate pivots. They're simply the highest high for x bars back and x bars forwards. They're the vanilla of pivots IMO: serviceable but not very interesting. They're very convenient to code because there are built-in Pine functions for them: ta.pivothigh and ta.pivotlow . They confirm a predictable number of bars after they happen, which is great for coding but also makes the trader wait for confirmation.
Oscillator pivots
This is a completely different concept, which uses momentum in order to define pivots. For example, when you get a rise in momentum and momentum then drops a configurable amount, it confirms a pivot high, and vice versa for a pivot low. I don't know if anyone else does it –- although some indicators do mark pivots in momentum itself, and plenty do divergences, I wasn't able to find one that specifically marked *pivots in price* because of pivots in momentum 🤷♂️
Anyway, while this approach needs a whole investigation on its own, here we simply plot some pivots in a smoothed RSI. This indicator doesn't plot the actual momentum values -- for a more visual understanding of how this works, refer to the examples in the OscillatorPivots library.

In contrast to other zigzag indicators available, this one lets you choose between the standard and some more unique methods of generating the zigzags. Additionally, because it's based on libraries, it is relatively easy for programmers to use as a basis for experimentation.
🟩 GEEK STUFF
Although there is considerable practical use for pivot-based zigzags in trading, this script is primarily a demonstration in coding -- specifically the power of libraries!
Most of the script consists of setup, especially defining inputs. The final section sacrifices some readability for conciseness, simply to emphasise how little code you need when the heavy lifting is done by libraries .
The actual calculations and drawing are achieved in just 8 lines.
The equivalent code in the libraries is ~250 lines long.
All libraries used are my own, public and open-source:
• MarketStructure
• DrawZigZag
• OscillatorPivots
Momentum TrackerDescription
To screen for momentum movers, one can filter for stocks that have made a noticeable move over a set period. This initial move defines the momentum or swing move. From this list of candidates, we can create a watchlist by selecting those showing a momentum pause, such as a pullback or consolidation, which later could set up for a continuation.
Momentum = Magnitude × Time
This Momentum Tracker indicator serves as a study tool to visualize when stocks historically met these momentum conditions. It marks on the chart where a stock would have appeared on the screener, allowing us to review past momentum patterns and screener requirements. The indicator measures momentum in three different ways:
Normalized Momentum
Identifies when the current price reaches a new high or low compared to a historical window. This is the most standardized measurement and adapts well across markets.
Normalized = Current Price ≥ Maximum Price in Lookback
Normalized = Current Price ≤ Minimum Price in Lookback
Relative Momentum
Measures the percentage difference between a fast and a slow moving average. This method helps capture acceleration, the rate at which momentum is building over time.
Relative = |Fast MA − Slow MA| ÷ Slow MA × 100
Absolute Momentum
Measures how far price has moved from the highest or lowest point within a defined lookback period.
Absolute = (Current Price − Lowest Price) ÷ Lowest Price × 100
Absolute = (Highest Price − Current Price) ÷ Highest Price × 100
Customization
The tool is customizable in terms of lookback period and thresholds to accommodate different trading styles and timeframes, allowing users to set criteria that align with specific hold times and momentum requirements. While the various calculations can be enabled, the tool is best used in isolation of each to visualize different momentum conditions.
