Z-Cum Delta 4U [ZuperView]Z-Cum Delta 4U is an order flow indicator that helps traders see through price action and determine whether aggressive buying or selling pressure is dominating the market.
By accumulating delta volume over time, it paints a clear picture of how control shifts between buyers and sellers.
📌 Key features
🔸 Market control transition
Z-Cum Delta 4U detects when market pressure is likely to shift from one side to the other.
Bullish reversal signal
When the histogram turns from red (negative) to green (positive), buyers have absorbed selling pressure.
This indicates accumulation at the bottom and offers a strong Buy opportunity.
Bearish reversal signal
When the histogram turns from green to red, selling pressure has overtaken buying pressure.
This often marks a market top and the start of a distribution phase, providing a reliable Sell opportunity.
🔸 Early momentum warnings
Traders usually don’t wait for the histogram to change color. They compare it with moving averages to identify early signs of momentum exhaustion, serving as an early warning of a potential reversal.
When the histogram reaches extreme positive or negative levels, it reflects strong momentum, making an immediate reversal unlikely.
Momentum weakening in an uptrend:
This is an early warning that the uptrend may be weakening before the histogram turns red.
Interpretation: Aggressive buying momentum is fading; upward strength is weakening.
Action: Tighten risk management, adjust stop-loss levels, or take partial profits to protect gains and prepare for a potential pullback.
Momentum weakening in a downtrend:
This is an early warning that the downtrend may be weakening before the histogram turns green.
Interpretation: Selling pressure is fading as buyers begin to absorb volume quietly.
Action: Close short positions, lock in profits, and prepare for potential long entries once a reversal confirmation appears.
🔸 Divergence detection
Divergence between price and the histogram of Z-Cum Delta 4U highlights a mismatch between price action and actual market pressure.
Positive divergence
Condition: Price forms a lower low, while the indicator forms a higher low.
Interpretation: Selling pressure is losing momentum while smart money accumulates – signaling a potential bullish reversal.
Negative divergence
Condition: Price forms a higher high, while the histogram forms a lower high.
Interpretation: Price is being pushed higher by weak or declining buying pressure – a potential bull trap warning of a sell-off.
🔸 Volume exhaustion and absorption
Z-Cum Delta 4U also helps identify final moves by dominant participants – often marking the end of a major trend.
Volume exhaustion
When the histogram spikes sharply to an extreme (positive or negative) and immediately reverses, it indicates that the last buyers or sellers have stepped in.
The market has run out of opposing liquidity, often leading to a sharp reversal.
Volume absorption
When the histogram rises or falls strongly near a key support or resistance level but the price fails to move further, it shows that large opposing orders are being absorbed.
Once absorption is complete, the price often breaks out decisively in the direction of the absorbing side.
In summary, the indicator enables traders to interpret smart money behavior through order flow dynamics.
By combining early warning signals (via the MA), divergence analysis, and volume absorption patterns, traders can move from reacting to price action to anticipating it – gaining a genuine strategic edge.
📌 Signal mechanism
These 3 signal types form an analytical framework for understanding market behavior, from confirming trend reversals and assessing momentum strength to detecting early reversal warnings.
🔸 Reversal signal
Based on the histogram color transitions, this signal represents a shift in control between buyers and sellers.
Bullish reversal signal
When the histogram changes from red to green.
→ Selling pressure has been absorbed, and aggressive buyers have regained control, confirming a likely bottom and a strong buy signal.
Bearish reversal signal
When the histogram changes from green to red.
→ Buying pressure is exhausted, and aggressive sellers dominate, confirming a likely top and a strong sell signal.
🔸 Momentum signal
This signal uses the indicator’s moving average as a benchmark to gauge the strength and sustainability of order flow.
Mechanism: Triggered when the histogram crosses its MA in the direction of the trend.
Meaning:
Uptrend: When the histogram rises above its MA → strong, sustained buying pressure from institutional activity.
Downtrend: When the histogram falls below its MA → dominant selling pressure drives continuation.
Action: Hold or scale into positions aligned with the trend, as the move is supported by persistent order flow.
🔸 Early reversal signal
This signal allows traders to optimize entry and exit points before a reversal occurs.
Mechanism:
Uptrend: When the histogram remains positive but declines and crosses below its MA.
Downtrend: When the histogram remains negative but rises and crosses above its MA.
Meaning: Momentum exhaustion in the dominant force (buyers in uptrends or sellers in downtrends). The color hasn’t flipped yet, but the intensity has weakened significantly.
Action:
Tighten stop-loss levels
Take partial profits
Prepare for a possible reversal signal

Statistical Price Deviation Index (MAD/VWMA)SPDI is a statistical oscillator designed to detect potential price reversal zones by measuring how far price deviates from its typical behavior within a defined rolling window.
Instead of using momentum or moving averages like traditional indicators, SPDI applies robust statistics - a rolling median and Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD) - to calculate a normalized measure of price displacement. This normalization keeps the output bounded (from −1 to +1 by default), producing a stable and consistent oscillator that adapts to changing volatility conditions.
The second line in SPDI uses a Volume-Weighted Moving Average (VWMA) instead of a simple price median. This creates a complementary oscillator showing statistically weighted deviations based on traded volume. When both oscillators align in their extremes, strong confluence reversal signals are generated.
How It Works
For each bar, SPDI calculates the median price of the last N bars (default 100).
It then measures how far the current bar’s midpoint deviates from that rolling median.
The Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD) of those distances defines a “normal” range of fluctuation.
The deviation is normalized and compressed via a tanh mapping, keeping the oscillator in fixed boundaries (−1 to +1).
The same logic is applied to the VWMA line to gauge volume-weighted deviations.
How to Use
The blue line (Price MAD) represents pure price deviation.
The green line (VWMA Disp) shows the volume-weighted deviation.
Overbought (red) zones indicate statistically extreme upward deviation -> potential short-term overextension.
Oversold (green) zones indicate statistically extreme downward deviation -> potential rebound area.
Confluence signals (both lines hitting the same extreme) often mark strong reversal points.
Settings Tips
Lookback length controls how much historical data defines “normal” behavior. Larger = smoother, smaller = more sensitive.
Smoothing (RMA length) can reduce noise without changing the overall statistical logic.
Output scale can be set to either −1..+1 or 0..100, depending on your visual preference.
Alerts and color fills are fully customizable in the Style tab.
Summary:
SPDI transforms raw price and volume data into a statistically bounded deviation index. When both Price MAD and VWMA Disp reach joint extremes, it highlights probable market turning points - offering traders a clean, data-driven way to spot potential reversals ahead of time.
AUTOMATIC ANALYSIS MODULE🧭 Overview
“Automatic Analysis Module” is a professional, multi-indicator system that interprets market conditions in real time using TSI, RSI, and ATR metrics.
It automatically detects trend reversals, volatility compressions, and momentum exhaustion, helping traders identify high-probability setups without manual analysis.
⚙️ Core Logic
The script continuously evaluates:
TSI (True Strength Index) → trend direction, strength, and early reversal zones.
RSI (Relative Strength Index) → momentum extremes and technical divergences.
ATR (Average True Range) → volatility expansion or compression phases.
Multi-timeframe ATR comparison → detects whether the weekly structure supports or contradicts the local move.
The system combines these signals to produce an automatic interpretation displayed directly on the chart.
📊 Interpretation Table
At every new bar close, the indicator updates a compact dashboard (bottom right corner) showing:
🔵 Main interpretation → trend, reversal, exhaustion, or trap scenario.
🟢 Micro ATR context → volatility check and flow analysis (stable / expanding / contracting).
Each condition is expressed in plain English for quick decision-making — ideal for professional traders who manage multiple charts.
📈 How to Use
1️⃣ Load the indicator on your preferred asset and timeframe (recommended: Daily or 4H).
2️⃣ Watch the blue line message for the main trend interpretation.
3️⃣ Use the green line message as a volatility gauge before entering.
4️⃣ Confirm entries with your own strategy or price structure.
Typical examples:
“Possible bullish reversal” → early accumulation signal.
“Compression phase → wait for breakout” → avoid premature trades.
“Confirmed uptrend” → trend continuation zone.
⚡ Key Features
Real-time auto-interpretation of TSI/RSI/ATR signals.
Detects both bull/bear traps and trend exhaustion zones.
Highlights volatility transitions before breakouts occur.
Works across all assets and timeframes.
No repainting — stable on historical data.
✅ Ideal For
Swing traders, position traders, and institutional analysts who want automated context recognition instead of manual indicator reading.
Reversal Super ScalperUsing Grok I've combined several indicators to be used for scalping reversals. My goal is to make sure it alerts me when all of the below conditions have been met.
Indicators that were combined to make this
FluidTrades - SMC Lite indicator - by Pmgjiv
Money Flow Index MTF + Alerts - by DreamsDefined
WaveTrend Filtered Signals (LazyBear Style) - by Uncle_the_shooter
Q-Trend - by tarasenko_
This strategy is for scalping on the 5 minute timeframe.
This way I can set alerts when the price action is close to demand or support levels marked out by the FluidTrades - SMC Lite indicator, the Money Flow Index MTF + Alerts indicator shows oversold if i'm trying to enter a long position or overbought if I'm trying to enter a short position, and the WaveTrend Filtered Signals indicator pops up a buy/sell signal either on the same 5 min candle or two 5 min candles before the Q-Trend buy/sell signal pops up. Once all of these conditions are met, this is when I would enter into a position at the close of the trigger candle from Q-Trend.
Here is an example of how to use this strategy
BUY (LONG) SIGNAL CONDITIONS
Price action must fall back into a level of demand marked out by the FluidTrades indicator.
The candle wick may cross below the demand level, and the candle body may cross slightly below it, as long as the candle does not close below the demand zone.
If any candle closes below the demand level, the buy signal created by the Q-Trend indicator is canceled. The WaveTrend Filtered Signals indicator should generate an alert on the current 5 min candle that Q-trend is generating a buy signal or two 5 min candles before it.
Money Flow Index (MFI) Condition:
On the candle where the buy signal is triggered by the Q-Trend indicator, the MFI must be oversold, with the white line below the 40 level, inside the Red Zone.
When the above conditions are met, enter after the close of the BUY signal trigger candle.
For the short signal it is the opposite of these conditions.

First-Move-Wrong Toolkit [CHE] First-Move-Wrong Toolkit — Session-bound sweep rejection with structure confirmation
Summary
This indicator marks potential “first move wrong” reversals during a defined trading session. It looks for a quick sweep beyond the prior day high or low, or the opening range high or low, followed by rejection and a basic structure confirmation. Optional rules require a retest and a VWAP reclaim in the direction of the trade idea. The script renders session levels as right-extended lines, signals as labels, optional SL/TP guide lines for visualization, and background tints during sweep events. Pivots are confirmed using swing width, which reduces repaint risk compared to live swings.
Motivation: Why this design?
Intraday reversals often start with a liquidity sweep around obvious highs or lows. Acting on the sweep alone can be noisy, while waiting for structure break and a retest can be slow. This tool balances both by checking a sweep and rejection at session-relevant levels, then requiring a simple structure cue and, optionally, a retest and a VWAP filter. The goal is a clear, rule-based signal layer that is easy to audit on chart without hidden state.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
Baseline reference: Simple sweep detectors or basic CHOCH markers that ignore session context and liquidity anchors.
Architecture differences:
Session-aware opening range tracking that finalizes after the chosen minutes from session start.
Daily previous high and low pulled without lookahead, then extended forward as visual anchors.
Confirmed pivot highs and lows to avoid repaint from live, unconfirmed swings.
Optional retest rule using crossover or crossunder at the trigger level.
Optional VWAP filter to demand reclaim in the intended direction.
Global label cooldown to prevent clusters of signals.
Practical effect: Fewer one-off flips around noisy levels, clearer alignment with session structure, and compact visual feedback through lines, labels, and tints.
How it works (technical)
Levels: During the defined session, the script builds an opening range high and low until the configured minute mark after session start, then freezes those levels for the day. It also fetches the previous day high and low from the daily timeframe without lookahead and extends them forward.
Sweep and rejection: A sweep is defined as price moving beyond a target level and then rejecting back inside on the same bar. The script checks this condition separately for highs and lows against opening range and previous-day levels.
Structure validation: Confirmed pivot highs and lows are computed using a symmetric swing width. A bearish idea requires a prior sweep of a high plus a break through the last confirmed swing low. A bullish idea requires a prior sweep of a low plus a break through the last confirmed swing high.
Optional retest: If enabled, a bearish signal needs a cross under the bearish trigger level; a bullish signal needs a cross over the bullish trigger level.
VWAP filter (optional): The script requires a reclaim of VWAP in the intended direction when enabled.
State handling: Opening range values, previous-day lines, and the label cooldown timestamp are stored in persistent variables. Lines are created once and updated each bar to extend forward.
Repaint considerations: Pivots confirm only after the specified swing width, reducing repaint. The daily level request is performed without lookahead. Signals use closed-bar checks implied by crossover and crossunder logic.
Parameter Guide
Session (local) — Defines the active trading window. Default nine to seventeen. Narrower windows focus on the main session drive.
Opening Range (min) — Minutes from session start to finalize OR levels. Default fifteen. Shorter values react faster; longer values stabilize levels.
Use PrevDay H/L levels — Toggle previous-day anchors. On by default.
Use OR H/L levels — Toggle opening range anchors. On by default.
Equal H/L tolerance (ticks) — Intended tolerance for equal highs or lows. Default one. (Unknown/Optional) in current signals.
Swing width — Bars on both sides for confirmed pivots. Default two. Larger values reduce noise but confirm later.
Require CHOCH after sweep — Enforces structure break after a sweep. On by default.
Prefer retest entries — Requires crossover or crossunder of the trigger level. On by default.
VWAP filter — Demands a reclaim of VWAP in signal direction. Off by default.
TP in R (guide) — Multiplier for visual TP guides. Default one. Visualization only.
Show levels / Show signals / Show R-guides — Rendering toggles. R-guides are visual aids, not orders.
Label cooldown (bars) — Minimum bars between labels. Default five. Higher values reduce clusters.
Palette inputs — Colors and transparencies for levels, labels, VWAP, and tints.
Reading & Interpretation
Lines: Dotted lines represent opening range high and low after the OR window completes. Dashed lines represent previous-day high and low.
Signals: “Long” labels appear after a low-side sweep with rejection and structure confirmation, subject to optional retest and VWAP rules. “Short” labels mirror this on the high side.
Background tints: Red-tinted bars indicate a high-side sweep and rejection. Green-tinted bars indicate a low-side sweep and rejection.
R-guides: Circles display a visual stop level at the bar extreme and a target guide based on the selected multiple. They are informational only.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
Session reversal scans: During the first hour, watch for sweeps around previous-day or opening range levels, then wait for structure confirmation and optional retest.
Trend following with filters: Combine signals with higher-timeframe structure or a moving average regime check. Ignore signals against the dominant regime.
Exits and stops: Use the visual stop as a reference near the sweep extreme; adapt the target guide to volatility and market conditions.
Multi-asset / Multi-TF: Works on intraday timeframes for liquid futures, indices, forex, and large-cap equities. Start with default settings and adjust swing width and OR minutes to instrument volatility.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Repaint/confirmation: Pivots confirm after the swing window completes. Signals occur only when conditions are met on closed bars.
security()/HTF: Daily previous-day levels are requested without lookahead to reduce repaint.
Resources: Uses persistent variables and line updates per bar; no heavy loops or arrays.
Known limits: Signals can arrive later when swing width is large. Gaps around session boundaries may distort OR levels. VWAP behavior may vary with partial sessions or illiquid assets.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Starting point: Session nine to seventeen, opening range fifteen minutes, swing width two, CHOCH required, retest on, VWAP off, cooldown five bars.
Too many flips: Increase swing width, enable VWAP filter, or raise label cooldown.
Too sluggish: Reduce swing width or shorten the opening range window.
Too many session-level hits: Disable either previous-day levels or opening range levels to simplify context.

Session Gap Fill [LuxAlgo]The Session Gap Fill tool detects and highlights filled and unfilled price gaps between regular sessions. It features a dashboard with key statistics about the detected gaps.
The tool is highly customizable, allowing users to filter by different types of gaps and customize how they are displayed on the chart.
🔶 USAGE
By default, the tool detects all price gaps between sessions. A price gap is defined as a difference between the opening price of one session and the closing price of the previous session. In this case, the tool uses the opening price of the first bar of the session against the closing price of the previous bar.
A bullish gap is detected when the session open price is higher than the last close, and a bearish gap is detected when the session open price is lower than the last close.
Gaps represent a change in market sentiment, a difference in what market participants think between the close of one trading session and the open of the next.
What is useful to traders is not the gap itself, but how the market reacts to it.
Unfilled gaps occur when prices do not return to the previous session's closing price.
Filled gaps occur when prices come back to the previous session's close price.
By analyzing how markets react to gaps, traders can understand market sentiment, whether different prices are accepted or rejected, and take advantage of this information to position themselves in favor of bullish or bearish market sentiment.
Next, we will cover the Gap Type Filter and Statistics Dashboard.
🔹 Gap Type Filter
Traders can choose from three options: display all gaps, display only overlapping gaps, or display only non-overlapping gaps. All gaps are displayed by default.
An overlapping gap is defined when the first bar of the session has any price in common with the previous bar. No overlapping gap is defined when the two bars do not share any price levels.
As we will see in the next section, there are clear differences in market behavior around these types of gaps.
🔹 Statistics Dashboard
The Statistics Dashboard displays key metrics that help traders understand market behavior around each type of gap.
Gaps: The percentage of bullish and bearish gaps.
Filled: The percentage of filled bullish and bearish gaps.
Reversed: The percentage of filled gaps that move in favor of the gap
Bars Avg.: The average number of bars for a gap to be filled.
Now, let's analyze the chart on the left of the image to understand those stats. These are the stats for all gaps, both overlapping and non-overlapping.
Of the total, bullish gaps represent 55%, and bearish ones represent 44%. The gap bias is pretty balanced in this market.
The second statistic, Filled, shows that 63% of gaps are filled, both bullish and bearish. Therefore, there is a higher probability that a gap will be filled than not.
The third statistic is reversed. This is the percentage of filled gaps where prices move in favor of the gap. This applies to filled bullish gaps when the close of the session is above the open, and to filled bearish gaps when the close of the session is below the open. In other words, first there is a gap, then it fills, and finally it reverses. As we can see in the chart, this only happens 35% of the time for bullish gaps and 29% of the time for bearish gaps.
The last statistic is Bars Avg., which is the average number of bars for a gap to be filled. On average, it takes between one and two bars for both bullish and bearish gaps. On average, gaps fill quickly.
As we can see on the chart, selecting different types of gaps yields different statistics and market behavior. For example, overlapping gaps have a greater than 90% chance of being filled, whereas non-overlapping gaps have a less than 40% chance.

Volume-Confirmed Reversal Engine [AlgoPoint]Volume-Confirmed Reversal Engine v2.0
Overview
A price pattern alone is not enough to signal a high-probability reversal. True market turning points—moments of capitulation or euphoria—are almost always confirmed by a significant spike in volume.
The Volume-Confirmed Reversal Engine is designed to identify these exact moments. It filters out low-conviction price movements and focuses only on reversal patterns that are backed by meaningful volume activity.
How It Works
The indicator's logic is based on a sequential confirmation process:
- High-Volume Anchor Candle: The engine first scans for an "Anchor Candle"—a candle that makes a new high or low over a user-defined look_back period. Critically, this candle's volume must also be significantly higher than the recent average. Low-volume breakouts are ignored.
- Setup Activation & Visualization: When a valid Anchor Candle is detected, the indicator enters a "setup" phase. It visually marks this on your chart by drawing a Setup Box around the high and low of the Anchor Candle, extending it forward for the duration of the confirm_in window.
- Confirmation & Signal: A final signal is only triggered if the price breaks out of the opposite side of the Setup Box within the confirmation window. This action, combined with the initial volume spike, confirms the reversal.
- Setup Box Visualization: See exactly which candle the indicator is watching and the key price levels (the box boundaries) that need to be broken for a signal.
Signal Strength Score (1-4): Every signal now comes with a score, providing insight into its quality based on four factors:
- The base price pattern is met.
- The initial Anchor Candle had high volume.
- The final Confirmation Candle also had high volume.
- The signal is aligned with the long-term macro trend (e.g., a BUY signal above the 200 EMA).
Status Dashboard: A simple panel on your chart tells you what the indicator is doing in real-time ("Scanning for Setups," "Watching Bullish Setup," etc.) and displays a countdown for how many bars are left for a confirmation.
How to Interpret & Use
- The Box: When a colored box appears, it's an early warning that a reversal setup is active. Watch the boundaries of the box for a potential breakout.
- The Score: Use the score to gauge the quality of a signal. A 3/4 or 4/4 score represents a very high-conviction setup where multiple technical factors are aligned.
- The Dashboard: Use the panel to understand the indicator's current state and the time-sensitivity of an active setup.
- The BUY/SELL Labels: These are the final, actionable triggers, appearing only after the full price and volume confirmation process is complete.
Extreme Pressure Zones Indicator (EPZ) [BullByte]Extreme Pressure Zones Indicator(EPZ)
The Extreme Pressure Zones (EPZ) Indicator is a proprietary market analysis tool designed to highlight potential overbought and oversold "pressure zones" in any financial chart. It does this by combining several unique measurements of price action and volume into a single, bounded oscillator (0–100). Unlike simple momentum or volatility indicators, EPZ captures multiple facets of market pressure: price rejection, trend momentum, supply/demand imbalance, and institutional (smart money) flow. This is not a random mashup of generic indicators; each component was chosen and weighted to reveal extreme market conditions that often precede reversals or strong continuations.
What it is?
EPZ estimates buying/selling pressure and highlights potential extreme zones with a single, bounded 0–100 oscillator built from four normalized components. Context-aware weighting adapts to volatility, trendiness, and relative volume. Visual tools include adaptive thresholds, confirmed-on-close extremes, divergence, an MTF dashboard, and optional gradient candles.
Purpose and originality (not a mashup)
Purpose: Identify when pressure is building or reaching potential extremes while filtering noise across regimes and symbols.
Originality: EPZ integrates price rejection, momentum cascade, pressure distribution, and smart money flow into one bounded scale with context-aware weighting. It is not a cosmetic mashup of public indicators.
Why a trader might use EPZ
EPZ provides a multi-dimensional gauge of market extremes that standalone indicators may miss. Traders might use it to:
Spot Reversals: When EPZ enters an "Extreme High" zone (high red), it implies selling pressure might soon dominate. This can hint at a topside reversal or at least a pause in rallies. Conversely, "Extreme Low" (green) can highlight bottom-fish opportunities. The indicator's divergence module (optional) also finds hidden bullish/bearish divergences between price and EPZ, a clue that price momentum is weakening.
Measure Momentum Shifts: Because EPZ blends momentum and volume, it reacts faster than many single metrics. A rising MPO indicates building bullish pressure, while a falling MPO shows increasing bearish pressure. Traders can use this like a refined RSI: above 50 means bullish bias, below 50 means bearish bias, but with context provided by the thresholds.
Filter Trades: In trend-following systems, one could require EPZ to be in the bullish (green) zone before taking longs, or avoid new trades when EPZ is extreme. In mean-reversion systems, one might specifically look to fade extremes flagged by EPZ.
Multi-Timeframe Confirmation: The dashboard can fetch a higher timeframe EPZ value. For example, you might trade a 15-minute chart only when the 60-minute EPZ agrees on pressure direction.
Components and how they're combined
Rejection (PRV) – Captures price rejection based on candle wicks and volume (see Price Rejection Volume).
Momentum Cascade (MCD) – Blends multiple momentum periods (3,5,8,13) into a normalized momentum score.
Pressure Distribution (PDI) – Measures net buy/sell pressure by comparing volume on up vs down candles.
Smart Money Flow (SMF) – An adaptation of money flow index that emphasizes unusual volume spikes.
Each of these components produces a 0–100 value (higher means more bullish pressure). They are then weighted and averaged into the final Market Pressure Oscillator (MPO), which is smoothed and scaled. By combining these four views, EPZ stands out as a comprehensive pressure gauge – the whole is greater than the sum of parts
Context-aware weighting:
Higher volatility → more PRV weight
Trendiness up (RSI of ATR > 25) → more MCD weight
Relative volume > 1.2x → more PDI weight
SMF holds a stable weight
The weighted average is smoothed and scaled into MPO ∈ with 50 as the neutral midline.
What makes EPZ stand out
Four orthogonal inputs (price action, momentum, pressure, flow) unified in a single bounded oscillator with consistent thresholds.
Adaptive thresholds (optional) plus robust extreme detection that also triggers on crossovers, so static thresholds work reliably too.
Confirm Extremes on Bar Close (default ON): dots/arrows/labels/alerts print on closed bars to avoid repaint confusion.
Clean dashboard, divergence tools, pre-alerts, and optional on-price gradients. Visual 3D layering uses offsets for depth only,no lookahead.
Recommended markets and timeframes
Best: liquid symbols (index futures, large-cap equities, major FX, BTC/ETH).
Timeframes: 5–15m (more signals; consider higher thresholds), 1H–4H (balanced), 1D (clear regimes).
Use caution on illiquid or very low TFs where wick/volume geometry is erratic.
Logic and thresholds
MPO ∈ ; 50 = neutral. Above 50 = bullish pressure; below 50 = bearish.
Static thresholds (defaults): thrHigh = 70, thrLow = 30; warning bands 5 pts inside extremes (65/35).
Adaptive thresholds (optional):
thrHigh = min(BaseHigh + 5, mean(MPO,100) + stdev(MPO,100) × ExtremeSensitivity)
thrLow = max(BaseLow − 5, mean(MPO,100) − stdev(MPO,100) × ExtremeSensitivity)
Extreme detection
High: MPO ≥ thrHigh with peak/slope or crossover filter.
Low: MPO ≤ thrLow with trough/slope or crossover filter.
Cooldown: 5 bars (default). A new extreme will not print until the cooldown elapses, even if MPO re-enters the zone.
Confirmation
"Confirm Extremes on Bar Close" (default ON) gates extreme markers, pre-alerts, and alerts to closed bars (non-repainting).
Divergences
Pivot-based bullish/bearish divergence; tags appear only after left/right bars elapse (lookbackPivot).
MTF
HTF MPO retrieved with lookahead_off; values can update intrabar and finalize at HTF close. This is disclosed and expected.
Inputs and defaults (key ones)
Core: Sensitivity=1.0; Analysis Period=14; Smoothing=3; Adaptive Thresholds=OFF.
Extremes: Base High=70, Base Low=30; Extreme Sensitivity=1.5; Confirm Extremes on Bar Close=ON; Cooldown=5; Dot size Small/Tiny.
Visuals: Heatmap ON; 3D depth optional; Strength bars ON; Pre-alerts OFF; Divergences ON with tags ON; Gradient candles OFF; Glow ON.
Dashboard: ON; Position=Top Right; Size=Normal; MTF ON; HTF=60m; compact overlay table on price chart.
Advanced caps: Max Oscillator Labels=80; Max Extreme Guide Lines=80; Divergence objects=60.
Dashboard: what each element means
Header: EPZ ANALYSIS.
Large readout: Current MPO; color reflects state (extreme, approaching, or neutral).
Status badge: "Extreme High/Low", "Approaching High/Low", "Bullish/Neutral/Bearish".
HTF cell (when MTF ON): Higher-timeframe MPO, color-coded vs extremes; updates intrabar, settles at HTF close.
Predicted (when MTF OFF): Simple MPO extrapolation using momentum/acceleration—illustrative only.
Thresholds: Current thrHigh/thrLow (static or adaptive).
Components: ASCII bars + values for PRV, MCD, PDI, SMF.
Market metrics: Volume Ratio (x) and ATR% of price.
Strength: Bar indicator of |MPO − 50| × 2.
Confidence: Heuristic gauge (100 in extremes, 70 in warnings, 50 with divergence, else |MPO − 50|). Convenience only, not probability.
How to read the oscillator
MPO Value (0–100): A reading of 50 is neutral. Values above ~55 are increasingly bullish (green), while below ~45 are increasingly bearish (red). Think of these as "market pressure".
Extreme Zones: When MPO climbs into the bright orange/red area (above the base-high line, default 70), the chart will display a dot and downward arrow marking that extreme. Traders often treat this as a sign to tighten stops or look for shorts. Similarly, a bright green dot/up-arrow appears when MPO falls below the base-low (30), hinting at a bullish setup.
Heatmap/Candles: If "Pressure Heatmap" is enabled, the background of the oscillator pane will fade green or red depending on MPO. Users can optionally color the price candles by MPO value (gradient candles) to see these extremes on the main chart.
Prediction Zone(optional): A dashed projection line extends the MPO forward by a small number of bars (prediction_bars) using current MPO momentum and acceleration. This is a heuristic extrapolation best used for short horizons (1–5 bars) to anticipate whether MPO may touch a warning or extreme zone. It is provisional and becomes less reliable with longer projection lengths — always confirm predicted moves with bar-close MPO and HTF context before acting.
Divergences: When price makes a higher high but EPZ makes a lower high (bearish divergence), the indicator can draw dotted lines and a "Bear Div" tag. The opposite (lower low price, higher EPZ) gives "Bull Div". These signals confirm waning momentum at extremes.
Zones: Warning bands near extremes; Extreme zones beyond thresholds.
Crossovers: MPO rising through 35 suggests easing downside pressure; falling through 65 suggests waning upside pressure.
Dots/arrows: Extreme markers appear on closed bars when confirmation is ON and respect the 5-bar cooldown.
Pre-alert dots (optional): Proximity cues in warning zones; also gated to bar close when confirmation is ON.
Histogram: Distance from neutral (50); highlights strengthening or weakening pressure.
Divergence tags: "Bear Div" = higher price high with lower MPO high; "Bull Div" = lower price low with higher MPO low.
Pressure Heatmap : Layered gradient background that visually highlights pressure strength across the MPO scale; adjustable intensity and optional zone overlays (warning / extreme) for quick visual scanning.
A typical reading: If the oscillator is rising from neutral towards the high zone (green→orange→red), the chart may see strong buying culminating in a stall. If it then turns down from the extreme, that peak EPZ dot signals sell pressure.
Alerts
EPZ: Extreme Context — fires on confirmed extremes (respects cooldown).
EPZ: Approaching Threshold — fires in warning zones if no extreme.
EPZ: Divergence — fires on confirmed pivot divergences.
Tip: Set alerts to "Once per bar close" to align with confirmation and avoid intrabar repaint.
Practical usage ideas
Trend continuation: In positive regimes (MPO > 50 and rising), pullbacks holding above 50 often precede continuation; mirror for bearish regimes.
Exhaustion caution: E High/E Low can mark exhaustion risk; many wait for MPO rollover or divergence to time fades or partial exits.
Adaptive thresholds: Useful on assets with shifting volatility regimes to maintain meaningful "extreme" levels.
MTF alignment: Prefer setups that agree with the HTF MPO to reduce countertrend noise.
Examples
Screenshots captured in TradingView Replay to freeze the bar at close so values don't fluctuate intrabar. These examples use default settings and are reproducible on the same bars; they are for illustration, not cherry-picking or performance claims.
Example 1 — BTCUSDT, 1h — E Low
MPO closed at 26.6 (below the 30 extreme), printing a confirmed E Low. HTF MPO is 26.6, so higher-timeframe pressure remains bearish. Components are subdued (Momentum/Pressure/Smart$ ≈ 29–37), with Vol Ratio ≈ 1.19x and ATR% ≈ 0.37%. A prior Bear Div flagged weakening impulse into the drop. With cooldown set to 5 bars, new extremes are rate-limited. Many traders wait for MPO to curl up and reclaim 35 or for a fresh Bull Div before considering countertrend ideas; if MPO cannot reclaim 35 and HTF stays weak, treat bounces cautiously. Educational illustration only.
Example 2 — ETHUSD, 30m — E High
A strong impulse pushed MPO into the extreme zone (≥ 70), printing a confirmed E High on close. Shortly after, MPO cooled to ~61.5 while a Bear Div appeared, showing momentum lag as price pushed a higher high. Volume and volatility were elevated (≈ 1.79x / 1.25%). With a 5-bar cooldown, additional extremes won't print immediately. Some treat E High as exhaustion risk—either waiting for MPO rollover under 65/50 to fade, or for a pullback that holds above 50 to re-join the trend if higher-timeframe pressure remains constructive. Educational illustration only.
Known limitations and caveats
The MPO line itself can change intrabar; extreme markers/alerts do not repaint when "Confirm Extremes on Bar Close" is ON.
HTF values settle at the close of the HTF bar.
Illiquid symbols or very low TFs can be noisy; consider higher thresholds or longer smoothing.
Prediction line (when enabled) is a visual extrapolation only.
For coders
Pine v6. MTF via request.security with lookahead_off.
Extremes include crossover triggers so static thresholds also yield E High/E Low.
Extreme markers and pre-alerts are gated by barstate.isconfirmed when confirmation is ON.
Arrays prune oldest objects to respect resource limits; defaults (80/80/60) are conservative for low TFs.
3D layering uses negative offsets purely for drawing depth (no lookahead).
Screenshot methodology:
To make labels legible and to demonstrate non-repainting behavior, the examples were captured in TradingView Replay with "Confirm Extremes on Bar Close" enabled. Replay is used only to freeze the bar at close so plots don't change intrabar. The examples use default settings, include both Extreme Low and Extreme High cases, and can be reproduced by scrolling to the same bars outside Replay. This is an educational illustration, not a performance claim.

Jasons Bullish Reversal DetectorThis bullish reversal detector is designed to spot higher-quality turning points instead of shallow bounces. At its core, it looks for candles closing above the 20-period SMA, a MACD bullish crossover, and RSI strength above 50. On top of that, it layers in “depth” filters: price must reclaim and retest a long-term baseline (like the 200-period VWMA), momentum should confirm with RSI and +DI leading, short-term EMAs need to slope upward, and conditions like overheated ATR or strong downside ADX will block false signals. When all of these align, the script flags a depth-confirmed bullish reversal, aiming to highlight spots where structure, momentum, and volatility all support a sustainable shift upward.
Oscillator Matrix [Alpha Extract]A comprehensive multi-oscillator system that combines volume-weighted money flow analysis with enhanced momentum detection, providing traders with a unified framework for identifying high-probability market opportunities across all timeframes. By integrating two powerful oscillators with advanced confluence analysis, this indicator delivers precise entry and exit signals while filtering out market noise through sophisticated threshold-based regime detection.
🔶 Volume-Weighted Money Flow Analysis
Utilizes an advanced money flow calculation that tracks volume-weighted price movements to identify institutional activity and smart money flow. This approach provides superior signal quality by emphasizing high-volume price movements while filtering out low-volume market noise.
// Volume-weighted flows
up_volume = price_up ? volume : 0
down_volume = price_down ? volume : 0
// Money Flow calculation
up_vol_sum = ta.sma(up_volume, mf_length)
down_vol_sum = ta.sma(down_volume, mf_length)
total_volume = up_vol_sum + down_vol_sum
money_flow_ratio = total_volume > 0 ? (up_vol_sum - down_vol_sum) / total_volume : 0
🔶 Enhanced Hyper Wave Oscillator
Features a sophisticated MACD-based momentum oscillator with advanced normalization techniques that adapt to different price ranges and market volatility. The system uses percentage-based calculations to ensure consistent performance across various instruments and timeframes.
// Enhanced MACD-based oscillator
fast_ma = ta.ema(src, hw_fast)
slow_ma = ta.ema(src, hw_slow)
macd_line = fast_ma - slow_ma
signal_line = ta.ema(macd_line, hw_signal)
// Proper normalization using percentage of price
price_base = ta.sma(close, 50)
macd_normalized = macd_line / price_base
hyper_wave = macd_range > 0 ? macd_normalized / macd_range : 0
🔶 Multi-Factor Confluence System
Implements an intelligent confluence scoring mechanism that combines signals from both oscillators to identify high-probability trading opportunities. The system assigns strength scores based on multiple confirmation factors, significantly reducing false signals.
🔶 Fixed Threshold Levels
Uses predefined threshold levels optimized for standard oscillator ranges to distinguish between normal market fluctuations and significant momentum shifts. The dual-threshold system provides clear visual cues for overbought/oversold conditions while maintaining consistent signal criteria across different market conditions.
🔶 Overflow Detection Technology
Advanced overflow indicators identify extreme market conditions that often precede major reversals or continuation patterns. These signals highlight moments when market momentum reaches critical levels, providing early warning for potential turning points.
🔶 Dual Oscillator Integration
The indicator simultaneously tracks volume-weighted money flow and momentum-based price action through two independent oscillators. This dual approach ensures comprehensive market analysis by capturing both institutional activity and technical momentum patterns.
// Multi-factor confluence scoring
confluence_bull = (mf_bullish ? 1 : 0) + (hw_bullish ? 1 : 0) +
(mf_overflow_bull ? 1 : 0) + (hw_overflow_bull ? 1 : 0)
confluence_bear = (mf_bearish ? 1 : 0) + (hw_bearish ? 1 : 0) +
(mf_overflow_bear ? 1 : 0) + (hw_overflow_bear ? 1 : 0)
confluence_strength = confluence_bull > confluence_bear ? confluence_bull / 4 : -confluence_bear / 4
🔶 Intelligent Signal Generation
The system generates two tiers of reversal signals: strong signals that require multiple confirmations across both oscillators, and weak signals that identify early momentum shifts. This hierarchical approach allows traders to adjust position sizing based on signal strength.
🔶 Visual Confluence Zones
Background coloring dynamically adjusts based on confluence strength, creating visual zones that immediately communicate market sentiment. The intensity of background shading corresponds to the strength of the confluent signals, making pattern recognition effortless.
🔶 Threshold Visualization
Color-coded threshold zones provide instant visual feedback about oscillator positions relative to key levels. The fill areas between thresholds create clear overbought and oversold regions with graduated color intensity.
🔶 Candle Color Integration
Optional candle coloring applies confluence-based color logic directly to price bars, creating a unified visual framework that helps traders correlate indicator signals with actual price movements for enhanced decision-making.
🔶 Overflow Alert System
Specialized circular markers highlight extreme overflow conditions on both oscillators, drawing attention to potential climax moves that often precede significant reversals or accelerated trend continuation.
🔶 Customizable Display Options
Comprehensive display controls allow traders to toggle individual components on or off, enabling focused analysis on specific aspects of the indicator. This modularity ensures the indicator adapts to different trading styles and analytical preferences.

Estimated Manipulation Movement Signal [AlgoPoint]Follow the Footprints of Whale Movements That Drive the Market
Overview
The market is not always driven by natural supply and demand. Large players—often called "whales" or institutions—can create artificial price movements to trigger stop-losses, induce panic or FOMO, and build their large positions at favorable prices. These events are known as "stop hunts" or "liquidity grabs."
The EMMS indicator is a specialized tool designed to detect these specific moments of potential market manipulation. It does not follow trends in a traditional sense; instead, it identifies high-probability reversal points created by the calculated actions of Smart Money trapping other market participants.
How It Works: The 3-Module Logic
The indicator uses a multi-stage confirmation process to identify a potential stop hunt:
1. Anomaly Detection: The engine first scans the chart for "Anomaly Candles." These are candles with unusually high volume and a very long wick relative to their body. This combination signals a sudden, forceful, and potentially unnatural price push.
2. Liquidity Zone Detection: The indicator automatically identifies and tracks recent significant swing highs and lows. These levels are considered "Liquidity Zones" because they are areas where a large number of stop-loss orders are likely clustered. These are the "hunting grounds" for whales.
3. The Stop Hunt Signal: A final signal is generated only when these two events align in a specific sequence:
An Anomaly Candle (high volume, long wick) spikes through a previously identified Liquidity Zone.
The same candle then reverses, closing back inside the previous price range.
This sequence confirms that the move was likely a "trap" designed to engineer liquidity, and a reversal in the opposite direction is now highly probable.
How to Interpret & Use This Indicator
BUY Signal: A BUY signal appears after a sharp price drop that pierces a recent swing low (taking out the stops of long positions) and then aggressively reverses to close higher. This suggests that Smart Money has absorbed the panic selling they just induced. The signal indicates a potential move UP.
SELL Signal: A SELL signal appears after a sharp price spike that pierces a recent swing high (taking out the stops of short positions) and then aggressively reverses to close lower. This suggests that Smart Money has sold into the FOMO buying they just created. The signal indicates a potential move DOWN.
This indicator is best used as a high-probability confirmation tool, ideally in conjunction with your understanding of the overall market trend and structure.
Tristan's Star: 15m Shooting Star DetectorThis script is designed to be used on the 1-minute chart , but it analyzes the market as if you were watching the 15-minute candles.
Every cluster of 15 one-minute candles is grouped together and treated as a single 15-minute candle.
When that 15-minute “synthetic” candle looks like a shooting star pattern (small body near the low, long upper wick, short lower wick, bearish bias), the script triggers a signal.
At the close of that 15-minute cluster, the script will:
Plot a single “Sell” label on the last 1-minute bar of the group.
Draw a horizontal line across the 15 bars at the high, showing the level that created the shooting star.
Optionally display a table cell in the corner with the word “SELL.”
This lets you stay on the 1-minute timeframe for precision entries and exits, while still being alerted when the higher-timeframe (15-minute) shows a bearish reversal pattern.
Algorithmic Value Oscillator [CRYPTIK1]Algorithmic Value Oscillator
Introduction: What is the AVO? Welcome to the Algorithmic Value Oscillator (AVO), a powerful, modern momentum indicator that reframes the classic "overbought" and "oversold" concept. Instead of relying on a fixed lookback period like a standard RSI, the AVO measures the current price relative to a significant, higher-timeframe Value Zone .
This gives you a more contextual and structural understanding of price. The core question it answers is not just "Is the price moving up or down quickly?" but rather, " Where is the current price in relation to its recently established area of value? "
This allows traders to identify true "premium" (overbought) and "discount" (oversold) levels with greater accuracy, all presented with a clean, futuristic aesthetic designed for the modern trader.
The Core Concept: Price vs. Value The market is constantly trying to find equilibrium. The AVO is built on the principle that the high and low of a significant prior period (like the previous day or week) create a powerful area of perceived value.
The Value Zone: The range between the high and low of the selected higher timeframe.
Premium Territory (Distribution Zone): When the oscillator moves into the glowing pink/purple zone above +100, it is trading at a premium.
Discount Territory (Accumulation Zone): When the oscillator moves into the glowing teal/blue zone below -100, it is trading at a discount.
Key Features
1. Glowing Gradient Oscillator: The main oscillator line is a dynamic visual guide to momentum.
The line changes color smoothly from light blue to neon teal as bullish momentum increases.
It shifts from hot pink to bright purple as bearish momentum increases.
Multiple transparent layers create a professional "glow" effect, making the trend easy to see at a glance.
2. Dynamic Volatility Histogram: This histogram at the bottom of the indicator is a custom volatility meter. It has been engineered to be adaptive, ensuring that the visual differences between high and low volatility are always clear and dramatic, no matter your zoom level. It uses a multi-color gradient to visualize the intensity of market volatility.
3. Volatility Regime Dashboard: This simple on-screen table analyzes the histogram and provides a clear, one-word summary of the current market state: Compressing, Stable, or Expanding.
How to Use the AVO: Trading Strategies
1. Reversion Trading This is the most direct way to use the indicator.
Look for Buys: When the AVO line drops into the teal "Accumulation Zone" (below -100), the price is trading at a discount. Watch for the oscillator to form a bottom and start turning up as a signal that buying pressure is returning.
Look for Sells: When the AVO line moves into the pink "Distribution Zone" (above +100), the price is trading at a premium. Watch for the oscillator to form a peak and start turning down as a signal that selling pressure is increasing.
2. Best Practices & Settings
Timeframe Synergy: The AVO is most effective when your chart timeframe is lower than your selected "Value Zone Source." For example, if you trade on the 1-hour chart, set your Value Zone to "Previous Day."
Confirmation is Key: This indicator provides powerful context, but it should not be used in isolation. Always combine its readings with your primary analysis, such as market structure and support/resistance levels.
Mean Reversion Probability Zones [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
The Mean Reversion Probability Zones indicator measures the likelihood of price reverting back toward its mean . By analyzing oscillator dynamics (RSI, MFI, or Stochastic), it calculates probability zones both above and below the oscillator. These zones are visualized as histograms, colored regions on the main chart, and a compact dashboard, helping traders spot when the market is statistically stretched and more likely to revert.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Mean Reversion : The tendency of price to return to its average after significant extensions.
Oscillator-Based Analysis : Uses RSI, MFI, or Stochastic as the base signal for detecting overextension.
Probability Model : The probability of reversion is computed using three factors:
Whether the oscillator is rising or declining.
Whether the oscillator is above or below user-defined thresholds.
The oscillator’s actual value (distance from equilibrium).
Dual-Zone Output :
Upper histogram = probability of downward mean reversion.
Lower histogram = probability of upward mean reversion.
Historical Extremes : The dashboard highlights the recent maximum probability values for both upward and downward scenarios.
🔵 FEATURES
Oscillator Choice : Switch between RSI, MFI, and Stochastic.
Customizable Zones : User-defined upper/lower thresholds with independent colors.
Probability Histograms :
Above oscillator → down reversion probability.
Below oscillator → up reversion probability.
Colored Gradient Zones on Chart : Visual overlays showing where mean reversion probabilities are strongest.
Probability Labels : Percentages displayed next to histogram values for clarity.
Dashboard : Compact table in the corner showing the recent maximum probabilities for both upward and downward mean reversion.
Overlay Compatibility : Works in both chart pane and sub-pane with oscillators.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Set Oscillator : Choose RSI, MFI, or Stochastic depending on your strategy style.
Adjust Zones : Define upper/lower bounds for when oscillator values indicate strong overbought/oversold conditions.
Interpret Histograms :
Orange (upper) histogram → higher chance of a pullback/downward mean reversion.
Green (lower) histogram → higher chance of upward reversion/bounce.
Watch Gradient Zones : On the main chart, shaded areas highlight where probability of mean reversion is elevated.
Consult Dashboard : Use the “Recent MAX” values to understand how strong recent reversion probabilities have been in either direction.
Confluence Strategy : Combine with support/resistance, order flow, or trend filters to avoid counter-trend trades.
🔵 CONCLUSION
The Mean Reversion Probability Zones provides traders with an advanced way to quantify and visualize mean reversion opportunities. By blending oscillator momentum, threshold logic, and probability calculations, it highlights when markets are statistically stretched and primed for reversal. Whether you are a contrarian trader or simply looking for exhaustion signals to fade, this tool helps bring structure and clarity to mean reversion setups.
Climax Absorption Engine [AlgoPoint]Overview
Have you ever noticed that during a sharp, fast-moving trend, the single candle with the highest volume often appears right at the end, just before the price reverses? This is no coincidence. It's the footprint of a Climax Event.
This indicator is designed to detect these critical moments of maximum panic (capitulation) and maximum euphoria (FOMO). These are the moments when retail traders are driven by emotion, creating a massive pool of liquidity. The "Climax Absorption Engine" identifies when Smart Money is likely absorbing this liquidity to enter large positions against the crowd, right before a potential reversal.
It's a tool built not just on mathematical formulas, but on the principles of market psychology and smart money activity.
How It Works: The 3-Step Logic
The indicator uses a sequential, three-step process to identify high-probability reversal setups:
1. Momentum Move Detection: First, the engine identifies a period of strong, directional momentum. It looks for a series of consecutive, same-colored candles and confirms that the move is backed by a steeply sloped moving average. This ensures we are only looking for climactic events at the end of a significant, non-random move.
2. Climax Candle Identification: Within this momentum move, the indicator scans for a candle with abnormally high volume—a volume spike that is significantly larger than the recent average. This candle is marked on your chart with a diamond shape and is identified as the Climax Candle. This is the point of peak emotion and the primary area of interest. No signal is generated yet.
3. Absorption & Reversal Confirmation: A climax is a warning, not a signal. The final signal is only triggered after the market confirms the reversal.
- For a BUY Signal: After a bearish (red) Climax Candle, the indicator waits for a subsequent green candle to close decisively above the midpoint of the Climax Candle. This confirms that the panic selling has been absorbed by buyers.
- For a SELL Signal: After a bullish (green) Climax Candle, it waits for a subsequent red candle to close decisively below the midpoint. This confirms that the euphoric buying has evaporated.
How to Interpret & Use This Indicator
- The Diamond Shape: A diamond shape on your chart is an early warning. It signifies that a climax event has occurred and the underlying trend is exhausted. This is the time to pay close attention and prepare for a potential reversal.
- The BUY/SELL Labels: These are the final, actionable signals. They appear only after the reversal has been confirmed by price action.
- A BUY signal suggests that capitulation selling is over, and buyers have absorbed the pressure.
- A SELL signal suggests that FOMO buying is over, and sellers are now in control.
Key Settings
- Momentum Detection: Adjust the number of consecutive bars and the EMA slope required to define a valid momentum move.
- Climax Detection: Fine-tune the sensitivity of the volume spike detection using the Volume Multiplier. Higher values will find only the most extreme events.
- Confirmation Window: Define how many bars the indicator should wait for a reversal candle after a climax event before the setup is cancelled.
Cyclic Reversal Engine [AlgoPoint]Overview
Most indicators focus on price and momentum, but they often ignore a critical third dimension: time. Markets move in rhythmic cycles of expansion and contraction, but these cycles are not fixed; they speed up in trending markets and slow down in choppy conditions.
The Cyclic Reversal Engine is an advanced analytical tool designed to decode this rhythm. Instead of relying on static, lagging formulas, this indicator learns from past market behavior to anticipate when the current trend is statistically likely to reach its exhaustion point, providing high-probability reversal signals.
It achieves this by combining a sophisticated time analysis with a robust price-action confirmation.
How It Works: The Core Logic
The indicator operates on a multi-stage process to identify potential turning points in the market.
1. Market Regime Analysis (The Brain): Before analyzing any cycles, the indicator first diagnoses the current "personality" of the market. Using a combination of the ADX, Choppiness Index, and RSI, it classifies the market into one of three primary regimes:
- Trending: Strong, directional movement.
- Ranging: Sideways, non-directional chop.
- Reversal: An over-extended state (overbought/oversold) where a turn is imminent.
2. Adaptive Cycle Learning (The "Machine Learning" Aspect): This is the indicator's smartest feature. It constantly analyzes past cycles by measuring the bar-count between significant swing highs and swing lows. Crucially, it learns the average cycle duration for each specific market regime. For example, it learns that "in a strong trending market, a new swing low tends to occur every 35 bars," while "in a ranging market, this extends to 60 bars."
3. The Countdown & Timing Signal: The indicator identifies the last major swing high or low and starts a bar-by-bar countdown. Based on the current market regime, it selects the appropriate learned cycle length from its memory. When the bar count approaches this adaptive target, the indicator determines that a reversal is "due" from a timing perspective.
4. Price Confirmation (The Trigger): A signal is never generated based on timing alone. Once the timing condition is met (the cycle is "due"), the indicator waits for a final price-action confirmation. The default confirmation is the RSI entering an extreme overbought or oversold zone, signaling momentum exhaustion. The signal is only triggered when Time + Price Confirmation align.
How to Use This Indicator
- The Dashboard: The panel in the bottom-right corner is your command center.
- Market Regime: Shows the current market personality analyzed by the engine.
- Adaptive Cycle / Bar Count: This is the core of the indicator. It shows the target cycle length for the current regime (e.g., 50) and the current bar count since the last swing point (e.g., 45). The background turns orange when the bar count enters the "due zone," indicating that you should be on high alert for a reversal.
- BUY/SELL Signals: A label appears on the chart only when the two primary conditions are met:
The timing is right (Bar Count has reached the Adaptive Cycle target).
The price confirms exhaustion (RSI is in an extreme zone).
A BUY signal suggests a downtrend cycle is likely complete, and a SELL signal suggests an uptrend cycle is likely complete.
Key Settings
- Pivot Lookback: Controls the sensitivity of the swing point detection. Higher values will identify more significant, longer-term cycles.
- Market Regime Engine: The ADX, Choppiness, and RSI settings can be fine-tuned to adjust how the indicator classifies the market's personality.
- Require Price Confirmation: You can toggle the RSI confirmation on or off. It is highly recommended to keep it enabled for higher-quality signals.
RB — Rejection Blocks (Price Structure)This indicator detects and visualizes Rejection Blocks (RBs) using pure price action logic.
A bullish RB occurs when a down candle forms a lower low than both its neighbors. A bearish RB occurs when an up candle forms a higher high than both its neighbors.
Validated RBs are displayed as boxes, optional lines, or labels. Blocks are automatically removed when invalidated (price closes through them), keeping the chart uncluttered and focused.
How to use
• Apply on any timeframe, from intraday to higher timeframes.
• Watch how price reacts when revisiting RB zones.
• Treat these zones as contextual areas, not entry signals.
• Combine with your own trading methods for confirmation.
Originality
Unlike generic support/resistance tools, this indicator isolates a specific structural pattern (rejection blocks) and renders it visually on the chart. This selective focus allows traders to study structural reactions with more clarity and precision.
⚠️ Disclaimer: This is not a trading system or a signal provider. It is a visual analysis tool designed for structural and educational purposes.

This indicator provides estimated POC calculations based on available OHLC data and should be used in conjunction with other analysis methods. The velocity-based approach offers unique insights into market structure dynamics but requires proper risk management and complementary analysis for optimal trading decisions.
Pivot Points. High & Lows By Reversal PercentageLibrary "Pivot Points. High & Lows By Reversal Percentage" by Jal9000
This Pine Script library provides a robust function for identifying and tracking pivot points (reversal points) in price data, suitable for integration into custom trading indicators and strategies.
🛠️ Main Features:
- ✅ Identifies pivot highs and lows based on configurable price movement thresholds.
- ✅ Lightweight. No candle backtracing used. Much less computation heavy.
- ✅ Supports multiple calls (with different values) within a single script.
- ✅ Compatible with request.security for multi-timeframe analysis.
- ✅ Returns both confirmed and temporary pivots for flexible integration.
- ✅ Pinescript V5 and V6 compliant code.
Purpose:
The pivots library enables Pine Script developers to easily add pivot point detection to their scripts. It identifies significant price reversals by evaluating price movements against a minimum range threshold ( min_range_pct ) and confirming reversals based on a percentage ( reversal_pct ) of the prior trend’s magnitude. The library supports multiple simultaneous calls with different settings, making it ideal for multi-timeframe strategies.
How It Works:
The library’s f_calculatePivot function tracks price movements to detect pivot points:
Minimum Range Threshold : A potential pivot is considered if the price moves beyond the min_range_pct percentage of the current high (for a high pivot) or low (for a low pivot), ensuring sufficient movement.
Reversal Confirmation : A pivot is confirmed if the price reverses from the potential pivot by at least the reversal_pct percentage of the distance between the last confirmed pivot and the current potential pivot, measuring the retracement relative to the prior trend’s magnitude.
The function alternates between tracking highs (in an uptrend) and lows (in a downtrend), updating the trend when a pivot is confirmed.
State management uses an array of pivot_state objects, allowing independent calculations for different timeframes and min_range_pct values within the same script.

Reverse RSI Signals [AlgoAlpha]🟠 OVERVIEW
This script introduces the Reverse RSI Signals system, an original approach that inverts traditional RSI values back into price levels and then overlays them directly on the chart as dynamic bands. Instead of showing RSI in a subwindow, the script calculates the exact price thresholds that correspond to common RSI levels (30/70/50) and displays them as upper, lower, and midline bands. These are further enhanced with an adaptive Supertrend filter and divergence detection, allowing traders to see overbought/oversold zones translated into actionable price ranges and trend signals. The script combines concepts of RSI inversion, volatility envelopes, and divergence tracking to provide a context-driven tool for spotting reversals and regime shifts.
🟠 CONCEPTS
The script relies on inverting RSI math: by solving for the price that would yield a given RSI level, it generates real chart levels tied to oscillator conditions. These RSI-derived price bands act like support/resistance, adapting each bar as RSI changes. On top of this, a Supertrend built around the RSI midline introduces directional bias, switching regimes when the midline is breached. Regular bullish and bearish divergences are detected by comparing RSI pivots against price pivots, highlighting early reversal conditions. This layered approach means the indicator is not just RSI on price but a hybrid of oscillator translation, volatility-tracking midline envelopes, and divergence analysis.
🟠 FEATURES
Inverted RSI bands: upper (70), lower (30), and midline (50), smoothed with EMA for noise reduction.
Supertrend overlay on the RSI midline to confirm regime direction (bullish or bearish).
Gradient-filled zones between outer and inner RSI bands to visualize proximity and exhaustion.
Non-repainting bullish and bearish divergence markers plotted directly on chart highs/lows.
🟠 USAGE
Apply the indicator to any chart and use the plotted RSI price bands as adaptive support/resistance. The midline defines equilibrium, while upper and lower bands represent classic RSI thresholds translated into real price action. In bullish regimes (green candles), long trades are stronger when price approaches or bounces from the lower band; in bearish regimes (red candles), shorts are favored near the upper band. Divergence markers (▲ for bullish, ▼ for bearish) flag potential reversal points early. Traders can combine the band proximity, divergence alerts, and Supertrend context to time entries, exits, or to refine ongoing trend trades. Adjust smoothing and Supertrend ATR settings to match the volatility of the instrument being analyzed.
CVD Absorption + Confirmation [Orderflow & Volume]This indicator detects bullish and bearish absorption setups by combining Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) with price action, candlestick, and volume confirmations.
🔹 What is Absorption?
Absorption happens when aggressive buyers/sellers push CVD to new highs or lows, but price fails to follow through.
Bearish absorption: CVD makes a higher high, but price does not.
Bullish absorption: CVD makes a lower low, but price does not.
This often signals that limit orders are absorbing aggressive market orders, creating potential reversal points.
🔹 Confirmation Patterns
Absorption signals are only shown if they are validated by one of the following patterns:
Engulfing candle with low volume → reversal faces little resistance.
Engulfing candle with high volume → strong aggressive participation.
Pin bar with high volume → absorption visible in the wick.
CVD flattening / slope reversal → shift in aggressive order flow.
🔹 Signals
✅ Bullish absorption confirmed → Green label below the bar.
❌ Bearish absorption confirmed → Red label above the bar.
Each label represents a potential reversal setup after orderflow absorption is validated.
🔹 Alerts
Built-in alerts are included for both bullish and bearish confirmations, so you can track setups in real-time without watching the chart 24/7.
📌 How to Use:
Best applied at key levels (supply/demand, VWAP, OR, liquidity zones).
Look for confluence with your trading strategy before taking entries.
Works on all markets and timeframes where volume is reliable.
Trendlines Oscillator [LuxAlgo]The Trendlines Oscillator helps traders identify trends and momentum based on the normalized distances between the current price and the most recently detected bullish and bearish trend lines.
The indicator features bullish and bearish momentum, a signal line with crossings, and multiple smoothing options.
🔶 USAGE
The indicator displays three lines: two for momentum and one for the signal. When one of the momentum lines (bullish or bearish) crosses the signal line, the tool displays a dot to indicate which momentum is gaining strength.
As a general rule, when the green bullish momentum line is above the red bearish momentum line, it indicates buyer strength. This means that the actual prices are farther from the support trend lines than the resistance trend lines. The opposite is true for seller strength.
To calculate bullish momentum, the tool first identifies bullish trend lines acting as support below the price. Then, it measures the delta between the price and those trend lines and normalizes the reading into the displayed momentum values.
The same process is used for bearish momentum, but with bearish trendlines acting as resistance above the price.
🔹 Length & Memory
Modifying the Length and Memory values will cause the tool to display different momentum values.
Traders can adjust the length to detect larger trendlines and adjust the memory to indicate how many trendlines the tool should consider.
As the chart above shows, smaller values make the tool more responsive, while larger values are useful for detecting larger trends.
🔹 Smoothing
By default, the data is not smoothed, and the signal uses a triangular moving average with a length of 10. Traders can smooth both the data and the signal line.
Traders can choose from up to ten different methods, or none. Some examples are shown on the chart above.
🔶 DETAILS
The steps for the calculations are as follows:
1. Gather the pivots, highs, and lows.
ph = fixnan(ta.pivothigh(lengthInput, lengthInput))
pl = fixnan(ta.pivotlow(lengthInput, lengthInput))
2. Calculate the slope and y-intercept for each trendline between contiguous lower highs (resistance) or higher lows (support).
if ph < ph
slope = (ph - ph )/(n-lengthInput - phx1)
res.unshift(l.new(ph - slope * phx1, slope))
if pl > pl
slope = (pl - pl )/(n-lengthInput - plx1)
sup.unshift(l.new(pl - slope * plx1, slope))
3. Calculate the value of each trendline on the current bar, then calculate the difference with the current price (delta). To calculate the relative sum of deltas, only consider trendlines below the price for support or above the price for resistance.
method get_point(l id, x)=>
id.slope * x + id.intercept
for element in sup
point = element.get_point(n)
if sourceInput > point
sup_sum += sourceInput - point
sup_den += math.abs(sourceInput - point)
for element in res
point = element.get_point(n)
if sourceInput < point
res_sum += point - sourceInput
res_den += math.abs(point - sourceInput)
4. Normalize the value from 0 to 100 by taking the sum of the relative values of the deltas divided by the sum of the absolute values of the deltas.
float supportLine = sup_sum / sup_den * 100
float resistanceLine = res_sum / res_den * 100
5. Smooth both values, then calculate the signal line as the difference between them.
float smoothSupport = smooth(supportLine,dataSmoothingInput,dataSmoothingLengthInput)
float smoothResistance = smooth(resistanceLine,dataSmoothingInput,dataSmoothingLengthInput)
float signal = math.abs(smoothSupport - smoothResistance)
float signalLine = smooth(signal,smoothingInput,smoothingLengthInput)
6. Calculate the crossing signals against the signal line, using only the first signal from each series of bullish or bearish crossings.
bullSignal = smoothSupport > signalLine and smoothSupport < signalLine
bearSignal = smoothResistance > signalLine and smoothResistance < signalLine
lastSignal := bullSignal and lastSignal == BEAR ? BULL : bearSignal and lastSignal == BULL ? BEAR : lastSignal
firstBull = ta.change(lastSignal) > 0
firstBear = ta.change(lastSignal) < 0
