Linear Regression CVDHere is the complete user manual and introduction for the Linear Regression CVD indicator in English. You can save this as your documentation for your trading system.
📊 Linear Regression CVD – Trader’s Manual
1. Introduction
Core Concept:
Standard Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) indicators are often noisy and jagged, making it difficult to decipher the true direction of capital flow. This indicator applies a Linear Regression algorithm to smooth out the CVD data and adds a Standard Deviation Channel. It is designed to answer two critical questions:
What is the "True Trend" of the money flow? (Filtering out noise)
Is the market sentiment currently overheated? (Using the channel to spot extremes)
Best Markets:
Crypto Perpetual Futures (e.g., BTCUSDT.P) — Highly Recommended.
Stocks & Forex (Must have volume data).
Timeframes:
Scalping: 1m, 5m, 15m (To catch rapid capital inflows/outflows).
Swing Trading: 1H, 4H (To identify the dominant direction of "Smart Money").
2. Visual Guide
When you load the indicator, you will see the following elements:
A. The Main Line (Linear Regression)
Appearance: A smooth, thick line.
Meaning: The average trend of capital flow.
Color Logic:
🟢 Green: Money flow is trending UP (Buyers are dominant).
🔴 Red: Money flow is trending DOWN (Sellers are dominant).
B. The Raw Line (Gray Hairline)
Appearance: A thin, jagged gray line fluctuating around the main line.
Meaning: The Raw, Real-time CVD. It calculates the volume delta (Close vs. Open) for every single candle without smoothing.
C. The Channel (Blue Background)
Appearance: A blue shaded area around the main line.
Meaning: The "Normal Volatility Range."
Calculated based on 2 Standard Deviations (2σ) from the Linear Regression.
If the Gray Line stays inside this channel, the market is stable/balanced.
D. The Signal Dots
🟢 Green Dot (Upside Extension): The Raw CVD has broken above the upper channel.
Meaning: Extreme Greed / Aggressive Buying / FOMO.
🔴 Red Dot (Downside Extension): The Raw CVD has broken below the lower channel.
Meaning: Extreme Fear / Panic Selling / Capitulation.
3. Trading Strategies
Strategy 1: Trend Confirmation
The basic "Follow the Money" approach.
Bullish Signal (Long):
Price is making Higher Highs.
CVD Main Line turns Green and slopes upward.
Action: Confirms that the price rise is backed by real volume. Hold or Add to Longs.
Bearish Signal (Short):
Price is making Lower Lows.
CVD Main Line turns Red and slopes downward.
Action: Confirms that sellers are in control. Hold Shorts.
Strategy 2: Divergence (High Win Rate)
Finding disagreements between "Price" and "Money Flow".
Bearish Divergence (Top Signal):
Price makes a Higher High.
CVD Main Line makes a Lower High (or fails to break out).
Meaning: Price is rising, but buying effort is fading (Exhaustion) or Limit Sellers are absorbing the buy orders (Absorption).
Action: Look for Short entries.
Bullish Divergence (Bottom Signal):
Price makes a Lower Low.
CVD Main Line makes a Higher Low.
Meaning: Price is dropping, but selling pressure is drying up, or Smart Money is absorbing sell orders via limit buy orders.
Action: Look for Long entries.
Strategy 3: Mean Reversion (Extreme Extensions)
Using the Red/Green dots to fade extremes.
Long Opportunity (Bounce):
Price crashes rapidly.
Cluster of Red Dots appears at the bottom.
Meaning: Panic selling has peaked (Capitulation). The market is oversold on a volume basis.
Action: Wait for a candle reversal pattern, then Long for a bounce.
Short Opportunity (Pullback):
Price pumps vertically.
Cluster of Green Dots appears at the bottom.
Meaning: Retail traders are chasing the pump (FOMO). Buying power is overextended.
Action: Wait for momentum to stall, then Short.
4. Important Limitations & Notes
Data Source Accuracy:
TradingView Standard Volume is an approximation (Close vs. Open logic).
It is not perfect "Tick Data" (like professional Orderflow software), but it is 90% accurate for trend analysis on 1H/4H charts.
Tip: Always use Perpetual Contract charts (e.g., BTCUSDT.P) for Crypto, not Spot charts, to get the correct volume data.
The "Extension" Trap:
Do not Short just because you see a Green Dot. In a strong parabolic bull run, you will see many Green Dots in a row while price keeps flying.
These dots indicate velocity, not necessarily a reversal. Always look for resistance levels or divergence before fading the move.
Settings:
Default Length: 20.
For faster signals: Try 10 or 14.
For smoother trends: Try 50.
5. Pre-Trade Checklist
Before entering a trade, check the Linear CVD:
Color: Is the CVD Line Green or Red? Does it match my trade direction?
Slope: Is the CVD accelerating or flattening out?
Divergence: Did price break a level, but CVD failed to follow? (Fakeout warning).
Extremes: Are there Red/Green dots appearing? If yes, am I chasing a trade too late?

📊 线性回归 CVD (Linear Regression CVD) —— 交易员手册
1. 指标简介 (Introduction)
核心理念：
普通的 CVD（累积成交量差）往往噪音很大，线条锯齿状严重，导致交易者难以看清真正的资金流向趋势。本指标通过线性回归算法 (Linear Regression) 对 CVD 进行平滑处理，并结合标准差通道 (Standard Deviation Channel)，试图解决两个核心问题：
资金流向的真实趋势是什么？（排除噪音）
当前的情绪是否过热？（通过通道判定）
适用市场：
加密货币合约 (BTC, ETH 等永续合约) —— 效果最佳
股票、外汇 (需有成交量数据)
适用周期：
日内短线：1分钟、5分钟、15分钟（捕捉快速的资金进出）。
趋势波段：1小时、4小时（判断主力资金的大方向）。
2. 视觉元素说明 (Visual Guide)
当你加载指标后，你会看到以下几个部分：
A. 彩色主线 (The LinReg Line)
形态：一条平滑的粗线。
含义：资金流向的**“平均趋势”**。
颜色：
🟢 绿色：资金流向趋势向上（买盘主导）。
🔴 红色：资金流向趋势向下（卖盘主导）。
B. 灰色背景细线 (Raw CVD)
形态：一条充满锯齿的灰色细线，在主线周围波动。
含义：原始的、实时的累积成交量。它反应了当下的每一根K线的实际买卖差额。
C. 蓝色背景通道 (The Channel)
形态：包裹在主线周围的深蓝色带状区域。
含义：“正常波动范围”。
基于线性回归的 2倍标准差计算。
如果灰色细线在通道内运行，说明市场情绪稳定，多空力量均衡。
D. 信号点 (The Dots)
🟢 绿点 (底部出现)：原始 CVD 向上突破了通道上轨。代表极度贪婪 / 抢筹。
🔴 红点 (底部出现)：原始 CVD 向下跌破了通道下轨。代表极度恐慌 / 抛售。
3. 实战交易策略 (Trading Strategies)
策略一：趋势确认 (Trend Following)
这是最基础的顺势用法。
做多信号：
价格处于上升趋势（如在均线之上）。
CVD 主线由红变绿，且持续向上倾斜。
操作：这确认了价格的上涨有真金白银的买盘支持，可以持有或加仓。
做空信号：
价格处于下降趋势。
CVD 主线由绿变红，且持续向下倾斜。
操作：确认卖盘主导，价格下跌是健康的。
策略二：背离交易 (Divergence) —— 胜率最高的用法
寻找“主力资金”与“价格”不一致的地方。
顶背离 (看跌)：
价格创出了新高 (Higher High)。
CVD 主线却没有创新高，或者形成更低的高点 (Lower High)。
含义：价格在涨，但买入的资金在减少。这通常是主力在通过限价单悄悄出货，或者是买盘枯竭。
操作：准备做空，或多单止盈。
底背离 (看涨)：
价格创出了新低 (Lower Low)。
CVD 主线却形成了更高的低点 (Higher Low)。
含义：价格在跌，但卖出的资金在减少，或者有大资金在底部通过挂单吸筹 (Absorption)。
操作：准备做多，或空单止盈。
策略三：极端情绪反转 (Mean Reversion)
利用红绿点判断短期的超买超卖。
做多机会 (反弹)：
价格快速下跌，甚至暴跌。
指标底部出现密集的红点 (Downside Extension)。
含义：恐慌盘被杀出来了 (Capitulation)，市场短期内无可再卖。
操作：等待K线出现反转形态（如长下影线）后尝试博反弹。
做空机会 (回调)：
价格快速拉升（垂直上涨）。
指标底部出现密集的绿点 (Upside Extension)。
含义：大量的散户在追涨 (FOMO)，透支了买盘动能。
操作：等待上涨停滞后尝试做空。
4. 关键注意事项 (Limitations)
数据源区别：
TradingView 的普通 Volume 是基于 K 线的近似计算（Close > Open 算买，Close < Open 算卖）。
这与专业的 Orderflow 软件（如 Exocharts）使用的逐笔 Tick 数据有一定误差，但在 1小时/4小时 级别上，趋势方向基本一致。
建议：如果你是做合约，请务必加载 合约图表（如 BTCUSDT.P），不要用现货图表看 CVD。
红绿点的陷阱：
不要一看到绿点就做空！ 在超级大单边行情（比如牛市主升浪）中，绿点会连续出现，价格会一直涨。
红绿点必须配合 关键支撑/阻力位 使用。如果在“半空中”出现绿点，往往意味着趋势加速，而不是反转。
参数调整：
默认 LinReg Length = 20。
如果你觉得反应太慢，可以改为 10 或 14。
如果你觉得假信号太多，可以改为 50，但这会牺牲灵敏度。
5. 快速检查清单 (Checklist)
在开单前，看一眼 CVD：
颜色：CVD 是绿的还是红的？和我想做的方向一致吗？
斜率：CVD 是在加速上升/下降，还是开始变平了？
背离：价格破位了，CVD 跟着破位了吗？如果没跟，就是假突破。
极值：有没有出现红点/绿点？如果出现了，是不是应该等回调再进场？

CANDLE_TIME_RDThis tool displays the time of each candle directly on the chart by placing a label below
the bar with an upward-pointing arrow for clear visual alignment. It helps traders quickly
identify the exact timestamp of any candle during fast intraday analysis or historical review.
OVERVIEW
The script extracts the hour and minute of each bar, formats the timestamp according to the
user’s preference, and prints it beneath the candle. This removes the need to rely on the
data window or crosshair for time inspection. It is ideal for ITI evaluation, timestamp
journaling, and precise replay study.
FEATURES
- Prints the time under each candle or every N-th candle using a simple step input.
- Supports both AM/PM and military time through a toggle input.
- Builds all hour and minute text manually to ensure consistent formatting.
- Uses label.style_label_up to draw an arrow pointing toward the candle.
- Positions labels with yloc.belowbar so they do not overlap price bars.
USE CASES
- Reviewing setups with ChatGPT where exact candle timing matters.
- Studying EMA touches, VWAP interactions, or momentum shifts that occur at specific times.
- Journaling entries and exits with precise timestamps.
- Quickly identifying candle times without zooming or opening data windows.
This script is designed for clarity and convenience, improving workflow for structured
intraday traders and replay analysts.
First Green/Red Day of Week (Break Prior Day) + Linesfirst red day high first green day low looking for false breakouts on lower time frames
Daily Pivots (17:00 OHLC)These pivots are based on OHLC of previous 17:00 CT day (Futures reopen). If it doesn't look right try to click three dots on indicator and select "pin to right scale".
Daily Settlement High LowThis script extends a line from the high and low of the 14:59:30 CT Candle which is the CME daily settlement window for the SP500 and Emini500. Only works on the 30 second chart.
XAUUSD Liquidity Sweep + Engulfing (4H/2H/15m)Key Features in This Script:
4H Bias (Trend): We use RSI on 4H to determine if the market is in a bullish or bearish trend.
2H Setup: When price sweeps below previous lows or above previous highs (liquidity sweep), we confirm it with RSI and an engulfing candle.
15m Entry: After the liquidity sweep is confirmed on the 15m chart, we check for a bullish engulfing (for buys) or bearish engulfing (for sells) with RSI confirmation.
How to Use It:
Add the Script: Copy-paste the code above into TradingView’s Pine Editor.
Apply it to the 15-minute chart for XAUUSD (Gold).
Alerts: Set up alerts when a Buy or Sell signal appears based on the conditions.
Alerts Example:
When a liquidity sweep and RSI flip happens with an engulfing candle, TradingView will notify you, helping you enter at the right time.
🚀 Next Steps:
Try it out and let me know how the alerts and signals are working for you.
If you'd like to add custom stop-loss or take-profit calculations, or include Fibonacci levels, let me know!
VPOCS ZScoreAn indicator Showing Candle POC's.
Added a Zscore Filter to filter out the High volume candle's.
I like to use at Key Support and resistance Area's to see Absorbtion and Offside positions only on High volume Candles ( The high volume candle part is Key! ). Thoose candles Generally indicate forced participants opening or closing positions, or "Breakout traders entering" positions. When i see a Hi-Volume at S/R levels and price is rejecting ( trading away from the POC ) ill take that as a trigger for a trade.
- Dynamic Support and resistance.
- Show Offside and and Trapped traders
You can tweak the Zscore nominator for Less of more Frequent hits.

New York Midnight Day Separator by JPThis is an updated script with setting added for transparency, line type etc., thanks to the original publisher of this code.
XRP Non-Stop Strategy (TP 25% / SL 15%)This strategy performs continuous automated trading exclusively on XRP. It opens long positions during favorable trend conditions, using a fixed Take Profit target of 25% above the entry price and a fixed Stop Loss of 15% below the entry. Once a trade is closed (either TP or SL), the strategy automatically re-enters on the next valid signal, enabling uninterrupted trading.
The script includes:
Dynamic Take Profit & Stop Loss lines
Optional EMA trend filter
Visual BUY and EXIT markers
TradingView alerts for automation or notifications
This strategy is built for traders who want a simple, price-action-driven system without fixed price levels, relying only on percentage-based movement from each entry.
KENW Liq Sweep 17This indicator is designed to alert on potential liquidity sweep events:
- In uptrends, it tracks Sell-Side Liquidity (SSL) by marking swing lows that occur during negative MACD histogram periods. It generates a long entry alert when price makes a lower low in SSL (i.e., the most recent SSL level is below the prior one), suggesting a sweep of sell-side liquidity before a potential bullish continuation.
- In downtrends, it tracks Buy-Side Liquidity (BSL) by marking swing highs that occur during positive MACD histogram periods. It generates a short entry alert when price makes a higher high in BSL (i.e., the most recent BSL level is above the prior one), indicating a sweep of buy-side liquidity before a potential bearish continuation.
Matt's Multi-Timeframe MACD Direction AlertThe indicator monitors the direction of the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) lines on four specific timeframes: 1-hour, 15-minute, 5-minute, and 1-minute.
It only generates a signal when the MACD in all four timeframes is trending in the same direction (either all are bullish, or all are bearish). This alignment suggests a strong, synchronized market momentum from short-term scalping views up to immediate-term swing views.
Key Features:
Multi-Timeframe Confirmation: Uses TradingView's request.security() function to fetch data from different timeframes (1h, 15m, 5m, 1m), preventing the need to manually switch charts.
Visual Dashboard: A dashboard table is displayed on your chart, providing an immediate visual status (Bullish/Bearish/Neutral) for each of the four timeframes.
On-Chart Signals: The indicator plots visual shapes (green triangles for bullish alignment, red triangles for bearish alignment) directly on the sub-chart when the condition is met.
Custom Alert Integration: It includes a built-in alertcondition() function, allowing traders to set up real-time, hands-free notifications whenever a synchronized trading opportunity arises.
This tool helps filter out noise and potential false signals that might appear on a single timeframe, focusing instead on robust signals confirmed by a consensus of time perspectives.

VWAP mit StdDev + 0,25 Bändern (dezent)This indicator displays the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) together with standard deviation bands and additional ±0.25 offset bands. VWAP serves as the central reference line, while the deviation bands show how far price typically moves away from VWAP.
1 standard deviation (±1σ) covers roughly 68% of all price movements around VWAP.
2 standard deviations (±2σ) cover about 95% of price movements.
3 standard deviations (±3σ) cover approximately 99.7% of price movements.
Around VWAP and the first deviation level, extra ±0.25 offset bands are added to highlight tighter ranges. These shaded zones help traders identify areas of expected price concentration, potential support and resistance, and volatility boundaries.
Purpose: The tool provides a statistical framework for intraday trading. VWAP shows the average traded price weighted by volume, while the deviation bands indicate probability zones where price is most likely to remain.
Sessions + VWAP + MA [Kilesa]This tool visualizes global trading sessions directly on the chart by plotting real-time session ranges, VWAP levels, and customizable moving averages. It highlights session highs and lows using dynamic range boxes with selectable border styles, and allows traders to track trends with both standard and fixed-timeframe MAs. Designed for clarity and precision, the indicator helps identify liquidity zones, volatility windows, session-to-session structure, and intraday directional bias across any timeframe.
IDWM Master StructureExecutive Summary
The IDWM Master Structure is a Multi-Timeframe (MTF) trading tool designed to force discipline by aligning traders with the "Parent" trend. It functions by locking onto the "Completed Auction" of a higher timeframe candle (like a Daily or Weekly bar) and projecting that structure onto your lower timeframe chart. Its primary goal is to define the "Dealing Range"—the hard boundaries where value was previously established—so you don't get lost in the noise of smaller price movements.
1. The Principle of Completed Auctions (Hierarchy)
Most technical indicators curve dynamically with every price tick. This script acts differently because it relies on "Settled Arguments." A closed Daily candle represents a finished battle between buyers and sellers; the High and Low are the historical results of that battle.
To enforce this, the script automatically selects a "Parent" timeframe based on your view:
Scalping (charts below 15 minutes) uses the 4-Hour Auction.
Intraday trading (15 minutes to 4 Hours) uses the Daily Auction.
Swing trading (Daily chart) uses the Weekly Auction.
2. Liquidity Pools & The Sticky Range
The High and Low lines drawn by the indicator are not just support and resistance; they represent Liquidity Pools. In market theory, stop-losses (Sell Stops below Lows, Buy Stops above Highs) accumulate at these edges.
Smart money often pushes price just past these lines to grab this liquidity (a "Stop Hunt") before reversing direction. To account for this, the script uses a "Sticky Range" mechanism. It refuses to redraw the box simply because price touched the line. Instead, it uses an Average True Range (ATR) Buffer. A new structure is only formed if the candle closes decisively outside the range plus this volatility buffer. This ensures you are trading real breakouts, not liquidity sweeps.
3. Internal Range Mechanics (Premium vs. Discount)
Inside the Master Box, the script applies Equilibrium Theory to help with trade location.
The most important internal line is the Equilibrium (EQ), which marks the exact 50% point of the range.
Premium Zone (Above EQ): Price is mathematically "expensive" relative to the recent range. Algorithms generally look to establish Short positions here.
Discount Zone (Below EQ): Price is considered "cheap." Algorithms generally look to establish Long positions here.
It also plots the Master Open, which acts as a "Line in the Sand." If price is currently trading above the Master Open, the higher timeframe candle is Green (Bullish), suggesting longs have a higher probability. If below, the candle is Red (Bearish).
4. Wick Theory (Failed Auctions)
The script places special emphasis on the wicks of the Master Candle because a wick represents a "Failed Auction"—a price level the market tried to explore but ultimately rejected.
The indicator highlights the background of the wick area (from the High to the Body). On a retest, these zones often act as supply or demand blocks because the market remembers the previous failure.
It also calculates the "Consequent Encroachment," which is the 50% midpoint of the wick. The rule of thumb here is that if a candle body can close past 50% of a wick, the rejection is nullified, and price will likely travel to fill the entire wick.
5. Energy Expansion (Breakout Targets)
Market energy transfers from Consolidation (inside the box) to Expansion (the breakout). When the price finally breaks the "Sticky Range" (confirming via the ATR buffer), the script projects where that energy will go.
It uses the height of the previous range to calculate Fibonacci extensions. Specifically, it targets the 1.618 Extension, often called the "Golden Ratio." This is a statistically significant level where expansion moves tend to exhaust themselves and reverse.
6. Safety Protocol: Live Detection
A dashboard monitors the state of the parent candle. If the text turns Magenta with a warning symbol, it means the Higher Timeframe candle is "Live" (still forming).
Trading off a live structure is considered higher risk because the "Auction" isn't finished—the High or Low can still shift. The safest approach is to trade when the dashboard indicates a standard, locked, historical structure.
