Trend/Range Composite (Single-Line) v1.4🔹 Step 1: Add it to your chart
Copy the whole script.
In TradingView → Pine Editor → paste it.
Click Add to chart.
It will show a white line in a subwindow, plus thresholds at 40 and 60, and a colored background.
Optional: You’ll see a status box (top-right of chart) with details like ADX, ATR, slope, etc.
🔹 Step 2: Understand the Score
The indicator compresses all signals into a 0–100 “Trend Strength Score”:
≥ 60 = TREND (teal background)
→ Market is trending, consider trend strategies like vertical spreads, runners, breakouts.
≤ 40 = RANGE (orange background)
→ Market is choppy/sideways, consider range strategies like butterflies, condors, mean-reversion fades.
40–60 = MIXED (gray background)
→ Indecision / chop. Best to reduce size or wait for clarity.
🔹 Step 3: Use with Your Trading Plan
Intraday (5m, 15m, 30m)
Score < 40 → play support/resistance bounces, fade extremes.
Score > 60 → play momentum breakouts or pullback continuations.
Daily chart
Good for swing context (is this month trending or just chopping?).
🔹 Step 4: Alerts
You can set TradingView alerts:
Cross above 60 → market entering trend mode.
Cross below 40 → market entering range mode.
Useful if you don’t want to watch constantly.
🔹 Step 5: Confirm with Price Levels
The score tells you “trend vs range”, but you still need levels:
If score < 40 → mark PDH / PDL (previous day high/low), VAH/VAL, VWAP. Expect rejections/fades.
If score > 60 → watch for breakouts beyond PDH/PDL or supply/demand zones.

Custom Choppiness HistogramThe Custom Choppiness Histogram is a visually enhanced, multi-timeframe version of the traditional Choppiness Index , designed to make it easier to spot when the market is trending vs. ranging.
🔹 Key Features:
Histogram Visualization: Clear, color-coded bars for instant interpretation.
Two Coloring Modes:
1.Change Mode → Colors based on increase/decrease vs. previous CI value.
2.Absolute Levels → Uses common CI thresholds (e.g., >61.8 = choppy, <38.2 = trending).
Grey Bars / Neutral Zone: Bars turn grey when the market is neither strongly trending nor strongly choppy — signaling a neutral or indecisive market.
Multi-Timeframe Option: Analyze Choppiness from any higher timeframe while trading on a lower chart.
Custom Thresholds: Adjust high/low CI levels to fit your strategy.
🔹 How to Use:
Green bars → Market is becoming more trending.
Red bars → Market is becoming more choppy/ranging.
Grey bars → Market is in a neutral zone; use caution and combine with other signals.
Use the timeframe input to filter trades (e.g., check if the 1H is trending before entering on the 5M).
🔹 Best Practice:
Use as a context filter alongside your entry/exit strategy (e.g., MACD, ICT/Smart Money, Supply & Demand).
Helps reduce false entries by avoiding trades during sideways conditions.

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.

ICT Venom Trading Model [TradingFinder] SMC NY Session 2025SetupIntroduction
The ICT Venom Model is one of the most advanced strategies in the ICT framework, designed for intraday trading on major US indices such as US100, US30, and US500. This model is rooted in liquidity theory, time and price dynamics, and institutional order flow.
The Venom Model focuses on detecting Liquidity Sweeps, identifying Fair Value Gaps (FVG), and analyzing Market Structure Shifts (MSS). By combining these ICT core concepts, traders can filter false breakouts, capture sharp reversals, and align their entries with the real institutional liquidity flow during the New York Session.
Key Highlights of ICT Venom Model :
Intraday focus : Optimized for US indices (US100, US30, US500).
Time element : Critical window is 08:00–09:30 AM (Venom Box).
Liquidity sweep logic : Price grabs liquidity at 09:30 AM open.
Confirmation tools : MSS, CISD, FVG, and Order Blocks.
Dual setups : Works in both Bullish Venom and Bearish Venom conditions.
At its core, the ICT Venom Strategy is a framework that explains how institutional players manipulate liquidity pools by engineering false breakouts around the initial range of the market. Between 08:00 and 09:30 AM New York time, a range called the “Venom Box” is formed.
This range acts as a trap for retail traders, and once the 09:30 AM market open occurs, price usually sweeps either the high or the low of this box to collect stop-loss liquidity. After this liquidity grab, the market often reverses sharply, giving birth to a classic Bullish Venom Setup or Bearish Venom Setup
The Venom Model (ICT Venom Trading Strategy) is not just a pattern recognition tool but a precise institutional trading model based on time, liquidity, and market structure. By understanding the Initial Balance Range, watching for Liquidity Sweeps, and entering trades from FVG zones or Order Blocks, traders can anticipate market reversals with high accuracy. This strategy is widely respected among ICT followers because it offers both risk management discipline and clear entry/exit conditions. In short, the Venom Model transforms liquidity manipulation into actionable trading opportunities.
Bullish Setup :
Bearish Setup :
🔵 How to Use
The ICT Venom Model is applied by observing price behavior during the early hours of the New York session. The first step is to define the Initial Range, also called the Venom Box, which is formed between 08:00 and 09:30 AM EST. This range marks the high and low points where institutional traders often create traps for retail participants. Once the official market opens at 09:30 AM, price usually sweeps either the top or bottom of this box to collect liquidity.
After this liquidity grab, the market tends to reverse in alignment with the true directional bias. To confirm the setup, traders look for signals such as a Market Structure Shift (MSS), Change in State of Delivery (CISD), or the appearance of a Fair Value Gap (FVG). These elements validate the reversal and provide precise levels for trade execution.
🟣 Bullish Setup
In a Bullish Venom Setup, the market first sweeps the low of the Venom Box after 09:30 AM, triggering sell-side liquidity collection. This downward move is often sharp and deceptive, designed to stop out retail long positions and attract new sellers. Once liquidity is taken, the market typically shifts direction, forming an MSS or CISD that signals a reversal to the upside.
Traders then wait for price to retrace into a Fair Value Gap or a demand-side Order Block created during the reversal leg. This retracement offers the ideal entry point for long positions. Stop-loss placement should be just below the liquidity sweep low, while profit targets are set at the Venom Box high and, if momentum continues, at higher session or daily highs.
🟣 Bearish Setup
In a Bearish Venom Setup, the process is similar but reversed. After the Initial Range is defined, if price breaks above the Venom Box high following the 09:30 AM open, it signals a false breakout designed to collect buy-side liquidity. This move usually traps eager buyers and clears out stop-losses above the high.
After the liquidity sweep, confirmation comes through an MSS or CISD pointing to a reversal downward. At this stage, traders anticipate a retracement into a Fair Value Gap or a supply-side Order Block formed during the reversal. Short entries are taken within this zone, with stop-loss positioned just above the liquidity sweep high. The logical profit targets include the Venom Box low and, in stronger bearish momentum, deeper session or daily lows.
🔵 Settings
Refine Order Block : Enables finer adjustments to Order Block levels for more accurate price responses.
Mitigation Level OB : Allows users to set specific reaction points within an Order Block, including: Proximal: Closest level to the current price. 50% OB: Midpoint of the Order Block. Distal: Farthest level from the current price.
FVG Filter : The Judas Swing indicator includes a filter for Fair Value Gap (FVG), allowing different filtering based on FVG width: FVG Filter Type: Can be set to "Very Aggressive," "Aggressive," "Defensive," or "Very Defensive." Higher defensiveness narrows the FVG width, focusing on narrower gaps.
Mitigation Level FVG : Like the Order Block, you can set price reaction levels for FVG with options such as Proximal, 50% OB, and Distal.
CISD : The Bar Back Check option enables traders to specify the number of past candles checked for identifying the CISD Level, enhancing CISD Level accuracy on the chart.
🔵 Conclusion
The ICT Venom Model is more than just a reversal setup; it is a complete intraday trading framework that blends liquidity theory, time precision, and market structure analysis. By focusing on the Initial Range between 08:00 and 09:30 AM New York time and observing how price reacts at the 09:30 AM open, traders can identify liquidity sweeps that reveal institutional intentions.
Whether in a Bullish Venom Setup or a Bearish Venom Setup, the model allows for precise entries through Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) and Order Blocks, while maintaining clear risk management with well-defined stop-loss and target levels.
Ultimately, the ICT Venom Model provides traders with a structured way to filter false moves and align their trades with institutional order flow. Its strength lies in transforming liquidity manipulation into actionable opportunities, giving intraday traders an edge in timing, accuracy, and consistency. For those who master its logic, the Venom Model becomes not only a strategy for entry and exit, but also a deeper framework for understanding how liquidity truly drives price in the New York session.
Advanced Market Structure [OmegaTools]📌 Market Structure
Advanced Market Structure is a next–generation indicator designed to decode price structure in real time by combining classical swing–based analysis with modern quantitative confirmation techniques. Built for traders who demand both precision and adaptability, it provides a robust multi–layered framework to identify structural shifts, trend continuations, and potential reversals across any asset class or timeframe.
Unlike traditional structure indicators that rely solely on visual swing identification, Market Structure introduces an integrated methodology: pivot detection, Donchian trend modeling, statistical confirmation via Z–Score, and volume–based validation. Each element contributes to a comprehensive, systematic representation of the underlying market dynamics.
🔑 Core Features
1. Five Distinct Market Structure Modes
Standard Mode:
Captures structural breaks through classical swing high/low pivots. Ideal for discretionary traders looking for clarity in directional bias.
Confirmed Breakout Mode:
Requires validation beyond the initial pivot break, filtering out noise and reducing false positives.
Donchian Trend HL (High/Low):
Establishes structure based on absolute highs and lows over rolling lookback windows. This approach highlights broader momentum shifts and trend–defining extremes.
Donchian Trend CC (Close/Close):
Similar to HL mode, but calculated using closing prices, enabling more precise bias identification where close–to–close structure carries stronger statistical weight.
Average Mode:
A composite methodology that synthesizes the four models into a weighted signal, producing a balanced structural bias designed to minimize model–specific weaknesses.
2. Dynamic Pivot Recognition with Auto–Updating Levels
Swing highs and lows are automatically detected and plotted with adaptive horizontal levels. These dynamic support/resistance markers continuously extend into the future, ensuring that historically significant levels remain visible and actionable.
3. Color–Adaptive Candlesticks
Price bars are dynamically recolored to reflect the prevailing structural regime: bullish (default blue), bearish (default red), or neutral (gray). This enables instant visual recognition of regime changes without requiring external confirmation.
4. Statistical Reversal Triggers
The script integrates a 21–period Z–Score calculation applied to closing prices, combined with multi–layered volume confirmation (SMA and EMA convergence).
Bullish trigger: Z–Score < –2 with structural confirmation and volume support.
Bearish trigger: Z–Score > +2 with structural confirmation and volume support.
Signals are plotted as diamond markers above or below the bars, identifying potential high–probability reversal setups in real time.
5. Integrated Alpha Backtesting Engine
Each market structure mode is evaluated through a built–in backtesting routine, tracking hit ratios and consistency across the most recent ~2000 structural events.
Performance metrics (“Alpha”) are displayed directly on–chart via a dedicated Performance Dashboard Table, allowing side–by–side comparison of Standard, Confirmed Breakout, Donchian HL, Donchian CC, and Average models.
Traders can instantly evaluate which structural methodology best adapts to the current market conditions.
🎯 Practical Advantages
Systematic Clarity: Eliminates subjectivity in defining structural bias, offering a rules–based framework.
Statistical Transparency: Built–in performance metrics validate each mode in real time, allowing informed decision–making.
Noise Reduction: Confirmed Breakouts and Donchian modes filter out common traps in structural trading.
Multi–Asset Adaptability: Optimized for scalping, intraday, swing, and multi–day strategies across FX, equities, futures, commodities, and crypto.
Complementary Usage: Works as a stand–alone structure identifier or as a quantitative filter in larger algorithmic/trading frameworks.
⚙️ Ideal Users
Discretionary traders seeking an objective reference for structural bias.
Quantitative/systematic traders requiring on–chart statistical validation of structural regimes.
Technical analysts leveraging pivots, Donchian channels, and price action as part of broader frameworks.
Portfolio traders integrating structure into multi–factor models.
💡 Why This Tool?
Market Structure is not a static indicator — it is an adaptive framework. By merging classical pivot theory with Donchian–style momentum analysis, and reinforcing both with statistical backtesting and volume confirmation, it provides traders with a unique ability:
To see the structure,
To measure its reliability,
And to act with confidence on quantifiably validated signals.
HTF Control Shift CandlesHTF Control Shift Candles highlights reversal-type candles that show a decisive shift in market control between buyers and sellers. These candles are detected by measuring wick length relative to the entire range and the close’s position within that range. A bullish control shift occurs when a candle forms with a long lower wick and closes in the top portion of its range, showing strong rejection of lower prices and a buyer takeover. A bearish control shift occurs when a candle forms with a long upper wick and closes in the bottom portion of its range, showing rejection of higher prices and a seller takeover. Candles are automatically recolored for fast visual recognition, and alerts are built in so traders never miss a potential shift in control.
This tool is specifically designed for 30-minute and higher timeframes, where control shift candles carry greater significance for swing and intraday setups. Inputs allow you to adjust wick percentage (wickPct) and body percentage (bodyPct) thresholds for different levels of sensitivity. For example, with wickPct = 0.5 and bodyPct = 0.3, a bullish control shift requires the lower wick to be at least 50% of the entire range and the close to finish in the top 30%. By tuning these values, traders can refine the detection for different volatility regimes or personal trading strategies.
Bar Close Confirmation Only
This indicator confirms signals only after the candle has closed. The calculation requires final values for open, high, low, and close, which are not fixed until the bar finishes forming. That means no mid-bar or intrabar repainting — alerts and highlights trigger only once the bar is complete. For example, if a candle temporarily has a long lower wick but closes back in the middle of its range, it will not be marked as a bullish control shift. This ensures accuracy by waiting for the final candle close before confirming that buyers or sellers truly maintained control.
Control shift candles can be especially useful around liquidity sweeps, support/resistance zones, or after extended moves, as they often mark key turning points. A bullish control shift near demand may provide an early entry confirmation for longs, while a bearish control shift at supply may signal short opportunities or exits from longs. This makes the indicator a versatile tool for anticipating reversals, timing entries with precision, and filtering signals on higher timeframes where market structure shifts are most impactful.

**ACD Indicator: Mark Fisher's Opening Range Breakout Strategy**
**Overview**
The ACD system, developed by legendary trader Mark Fisher in his book *The Logical Trader*, is a powerful methodology for identifying high-probability trade setups based on the market's opening range (OR). This indicator automates Layers 1 and 2 of the ACD strategy, helping you spot breakout opportunities, trend direction, and key support/resistance levels. Perfect for day traders, scalpers, and swing traders in forex, stocks, futures, or crypto.
**How It Works**
1. **Opening Range (OR)**: Calculated from the high/low of the first X minutes (default: 30-60 min) of major sessions (e.g., Tokyo, London, New York).
2. **A Levels**: Drawn at a percentage (default: 0.5% of OR range or ATR-based) above/below the OR. A breakout above A-Up signals a bullish setup; below A-Down signals bearish.
3. **C Levels**: Wider levels (default: 1-2% or ATR multiplier) for stronger confirmation. Breakouts here confirm trend strength and filter fakeouts.
4. **Pivot Ranges**: Includes daily and N-day pivots to gauge overall market bias (above pivots = bullish; below = bearish).
**Key Features**
- **Customizable Sessions**: Tokyo (00:00-01:00 GMT), London (08:00-09:00 GMT), New York (13:30-14:30 GMT) – adjustable.
- **ATR Integration**: Uses Average True Range for dynamic A/C levels (period: 14 by default).
- **Visual Alerts**: Color-coded lines (green for bullish, red for bearish) + optional labels for breakouts.
- **Pivot Display**: Show/hide daily or multi-day pivots with customizable colors.
- **Risk Management**: Built-in stop-loss suggestions based on OR width.
**Trading Rules**
- **Bullish Setup**: Price breaks and holds above A-Up → Enter long at C-Up confirmation. Target: Next pivot or 1:2 risk-reward.
- **Bearish Setup**: Price breaks below A-Down → Enter short at C-Down.
- **Avoid Fakeouts**: Wait for stabilization (e.g., close above/below level).
- **Trend Filter**: Combine with PMA (Pivot Moving Average) for Layer 3 confirmation (search "ACD PMA" in TradingView).
**Settings Guide**
- **OR Timeframe**: Session start time and duration (e.g., 30 min).
- **A Multiplier (%)**: Distance for A levels (default: 0.5).
- **C Multiplier (%)**: Distance for C levels (default: 1.0).
- **ATR Period**: For volatility-based levels (default: 14).
- **Show Pivots**: Toggle daily/N-day ranges.
This indicator balances supply/demand by analyzing volume and price action within the opening range. Backtest on your favorite pairs (e.g., EURUSD, BTCUSD) and adjust for your style. Not financial advice – always use proper risk management!

Smart Money Support/Resistance — LiteSmart Money Support/Resistance — Lite
Overview & Methodology
This indicator identifies support and resistance as zones derived from concentrated buying and selling pressure, rather than relying solely on traditional swing highs/lows. Its design focuses on transparency: how data is sourced, how zones are computed, and how the on‑chart display should be interpreted.
Lower‑Timeframe (LTF) Data
The script requests Up Volume, Down Volume, and Volume Delta from a lower timeframe to expose intrabar order‑flow structure that the chart’s native timeframe cannot show. In practical terms, this lets you see where buyers or sellers briefly dominated inside the body of a higher‑timeframe bar.

• Data source: TradingView’s ta.requestUpAndDownVolume(lowerTf) via the official TA library.
• Plan capabilities: higher‑tier subscriptions unlock seconds‑based charts and allow more historical bars per chart. This expands both the temporal depth of LTF data and the precision of short‑horizon analysis, while base tiers provide minute‑level data suitable for day/short‑swing studies.
• Coverage clarity: a small on‑chart Coverage Panel reports the active lower timeframe, the number of bars covered, and the latest computed support/resistance ranges so you always know the bounds of valid LTF input.
Core Method
1) Data acquisition (LTF)
The script retrieves three series from the chosen lower timeframe:
– Up Volume (buyers)
– Down Volume (sellers)
– Delta (Up – Down)
2) Rolling window & extrema
Over a user‑defined lookback (Global Volume Period), the algorithm builds rolling arrays of completed bars and scans for extrema:
– Buyers_max / Buyers_min from Up Volume
– Sellers_max / Sellers_min from Down Volume
Only completed bars are considered; the current bar is excluded for stability.
3) Price mapping
The extrema are mapped back to their source candles to obtain price bounds:
– For “maximum” roles the algorithm uses the relevant candle highs.
– For “minimum” roles it uses the relevant candle lows.
These pairs define candidate resistance (max‑based) and support (min‑based) zones or vice versa.
4) Zone construction & minimum width
To ensure practicality on all symbols, zones enforce a minimum vertical thickness of two ticks. This prevents visually invisible or overly thin ranges on instruments with tight ticks.
5) Vertical role resolution
When both max‑ and min‑based zones exist, the script compares their midpoints. If, due to local price structure, the min‑based zone sits above the max‑based zone, display roles are swapped so the higher zone is labeled Resistance and the lower zone Support. Colors/widths are updated accordingly to keep the visual legend consistent.
6) Rendering & panel
Two horizontal lines and a filled box represent each active zone. The Coverage Panel (bottom‑right by default) prints:
– Lower‑timeframe in use
– Number of bars covered by LTF data
– Current Support and Resistance ranges
If the two zones overlap, an additional “Range Market” note is shown.
Key Inputs
• Global Volume Period: shared lookback window for the extrema search.
• Lower timeframe: user‑selectable override of the automatically resolved lower timeframe.
• Visualization toggles: independent show/hide controls and colors for maximum (resistance) and minimum (support) zones.
• Coverage Panel: enable/disable the single‑cell table and its readout.
Operational Notes
• The algorithm aligns all lookups to completed bars (no peeking). Price references are shifted appropriately to avoid using the still‑forming bar in calculations.
• Second‑based lower timeframes improve granularity for scalping and very short‑term entries. Minute‑based lower timeframes provide broader coverage for intraday and short‑swing contexts.
• Use the Coverage Panel to confirm the true extent of available LTF history on your symbol/plan before drawing conclusions from very deep lookbacks.
Visual Walkthrough
A step‑by‑step image sequence accompanies this description. Each figure demonstrates how the indicator reads LTF volume, locates extrema, builds price‑mapped zones, and updates labels/colors when vertical order requires it.
Chart Interpretation
This chart illustrates two distinct perspectives of the Smart Money Support/Resistance — Lite indicator, each derived from different lookback horizons and lower-timeframe (LTF) resolutions.
1- Short-term view (43 bars, 10-second LTF)
Using the most recent 43 completed bars with 10-second intrabar data, the algorithm detects that both maximum and minimum volume extrema fall within a narrow range. The result is a clearly identified range market: resistance between 178.15–184.55 and support between 175.02–179.38.
The Coverage Panel (bottom-right) confirms the scope of valid input: the lower timeframe used, number of bars covered, and the resulting zones. This short-term scan highlights how the indicator adapts to limited data depth, flagging sideways structure where neither side dominates.
2 - Long-term view (120 bars, 30-second LTF)
Over a wider 120-bar lookback with higher-granularity 30-second data, broader supply and demand zones emerge.
– The long-term resistance zone captures the concentration of buyers and sellers at the upper boundary of recent price history.
– The long-term support zone anchors to the opposite side of the distribution, derived from maxima and minima of both buying and selling pressure.
These zones reflect deeper structural levels where market participants previously committed significant volume.
Combined Perspective
By aligning the short-term and long-term outputs, the chart shows how the indicator distinguishes immediate consolidation (range market) from more durable support and resistance levels derived from extended history. This dual resolution approach makes clear that support and resistance are not static lines but dynamic zones, dependent on both timeframe depth and the resolution of intrabar volume data.
Inversion Fair Value Gap Signals [AlgoAlpha]🟠 OVERVIEW
This script is a custom signal tool called Inversion Fair Value Gap Signals (IFVG) , designed to detect, track, and visualize fair value gaps (FVGs) and their inversions directly on price charts. It identifies bullish and bearish imbalances, monitors when these zones are mitigated or rejected, and extends them until resolution or expiration. What makes this script original is the inclusion of inversion logic—when a gap is filled, the area flips into an opposite "inversion fair value gap," creating potential reversal or continuation zones that give traders additional context beyond classic FVG analysis.
🟠 CONCEPTS
The script builds on the Smart Money Concepts (SMC) principle of fair value gaps, where inefficiencies form when price moves too quickly in one direction. Detection requires a three-bar sequence: a strong up or down move that leaves untraded price between bar highs and lows. To refine reliability, the script adds an ATR-based size filter and prevents overlap between zones. Once created, gaps are tracked in arrays until mitigation (price closing back into the gap), expiration, or transformation into an inversion zone. Inversions act as polarity flips, where bullish gaps become bearish resistance and bearish gaps become bullish support. Lower-timeframe volume data is also displayed inside zones to highlight whether buying or selling pressure dominated during gap creation.
🟠 FEATURES
Automatic detection of bullish and bearish FVGs with ATR-based thresholding.
Inversion logic: mitigated gaps flip into opposite-colored IFVG zones.
Volume text overlay inside each zone showing up vs down volume.
Visual markers (△/▽ for FVG, ▲/▼ for IFVG) when price exits a zone without mitigation.
🟠 USAGE
Apply the indicator to any chart and enable/disable bullish or bearish FVG detection depending on your focus. Use the colored gap zones as areas of interest: bullish gaps suggest possible continuation to the upside until mitigated, while bearish gaps suggest continuation down. When a gap flips into an inversion zone, treat it as potential support/resistance—bullish IFVGs below price may act as demand, while bearish IFVGs above price may act as supply. Watch the embedded up/down volume data to gauge the strength of participants during gap formation. Use the △/▽ and ▲/▼ markers to spot when price rejects gaps or inversions without filling them, which can indicate strong trending momentum. For practical use, combine alerts with your trade plan to track when new gaps form, when old ones are resolved, or when key zones flip into inversions, helping you align entries, targets, or reversals with institutional order flow logic.
ORB 15m + MAs (v4.1)Session ORB Live Pro — Pre-Market Boxes & MA Suite (v4.1)
What it is
A precision Opening Range Breakout (ORB) tool that anchors every session to one specific 15-minute candle—then projects that same high/low onto lower timeframes so your 1m/5m levels always match the source 15m bar. Perfect for scalpers who want session structure without drift.
What it draws
Asia, Pre-London, London, Pre-New York, New York session boxes.
On 15m: only the high/low of the first 15-minute bar of each window (optionally persists for extra bars).
On 5m: mirrors the same 15m range, visible up to 10 bars.
On 1m: mirrors the same 15m range, visible up to 15 bars.
Levels update live while the 15m candle is forming, then lock.
Fully editable windows (easy UX)
Change session times with TradingView’s native input.session fields using the familiar format HHMM-HHMM:1234567. You can tweak each window independently:
Asia
Pre-London
London
Pre-New York
New York
Multi-TF logic (no guesswork)
Designed to show only on 1m, 5m, 15m (by default).
15m = ground truth. Lower timeframes never “recalculate a different range”—they mirror the 15m bar for that session, exactly.
Alerts
Optional breakout alerts when price closes above/below the session range.
Clean visuals
Per-session color controls (box + lines). Boxes extend only for the configured number of bars per timeframe, keeping charts uncluttered.

Gold Lagging (N days)This indicator overlays the price of gold (XAUUSD) on any chart with a customizable lag in days. You can choose the price source (open, high, low, close, hlc3, ohlc4), shift the series by a set number of daily bars, and optionally normalize the values so that the first visible bar equals 100. The original gold line can also be displayed alongside the lagged series for direct comparison.
It is especially useful for analyzing delayed correlations between gold and other assets, observing shifts in safe-haven demand, or testing hypotheses about lagging market reactions. Since the lag is calculated on daily data, it remains consistent even if applied on intraday charts, while the indicator itself can be plotted on a separate price scale for clarity.
이 지표는 금(XAUUSD) 가격을 원하는 차트 위에 N일 지연된 형태로 표시합니다. 가격 소스(시가, 고가, 저가, 종가, hlc3, ohlc4)를 선택할 수 있으며, 지정한 일 수만큼 시리즈를 뒤로 이동시킬 수 있습니다. 또한 첫 값 기준으로 100에 맞춰 정규화하거나, 원래 금 가격선을 함께 표시해 비교할 수도 있습니다.
금과 다른 자산 간의 지연 상관관계를 분석하거나 안전자산 수요 변화를 관찰할 때 유용하며, 시장 반응의 시차 효과를 검증하는 데에도 활용할 수 있습니다. 지연은 일봉 데이터 기준으로 계산되므로 단기 차트에 적용해도 일 단위 기준이 유지되며, 별도의 가격 스케일에 표시되어 가독성을 높일 수 있습니다.
Stochastic [Paifc0de]Stochastic — clean stochastic oscillator with visual masking, neutral markers, and basic filters
What it does
This indicator plots a standard stochastic oscillator (%K with smoothing and %D) and adds practical quality-of-life features for lower timeframes: optional visual masking when %K hugs overbought/oversold, neutral K–D cross markers, session-gated edge triangles (K crossing 20/80), and simple filters (minimum %K slope, minimum |K–D| gap, optional %D slope agreement, mid-zone mute, and a cooldown between markers). Display values are clamped to 0–100 to keep the panel scale stable. The tool is for research/education and does not generate entries/exits or financial advice.
Default preset: 20 / 10 / 10
K Length = 20
Classic lookback used in many textbooks. On intraday charts it balances responsiveness and stability: short enough to react to momentum shifts, long enough to avoid constant whipsaws. In practice it captures ~the last 20 bars’ position of close within the high–low range.
K Smoothing = 10
A 10-period SMA applied to the raw %K moderates the “saw-tooth” effect that raw stochastic can exhibit in choppy phases. The smoothing reduces over-reaction to micro spikes while preserving the main rhythm of swings; visually, %K becomes a continuous path that is easier to read.
D Length = 10
%D is the moving average of smoothed %K. With 10, %D becomes a clearly slower guide line. The larger separation between %K(10-SMA) and %D(10-SMA of %K) produces cleaner crosses and fewer spurious toggles than micro settings (e.g., 3/3/3). On M5–M15 this pair often yields readable cross cycles without flooding the chart.
How the 20/10/10 trio behaves
In persistent trends, %K will spend more time near 20 or 80; the 10-period smoothing delays flips slightly and emphasizes only meaningful turn attempts.
In ranges, %K oscillates around mid-zone (40–60). With 10/10 smoothing, cross signals cluster less densely; combining with the |K–D| gap filter helps keep only decisive crosses.
If your symbol is unusually volatile or illiquid, reduce K Length (e.g., 14) or reduce K Smoothing (e.g., 7) to keep responsiveness. If crosses feel late, decrease D Length (e.g., 7). If noise is excessive, increase K Smoothing first, then consider raising D Length.
Visuals
OB/OS lines: default 80/20 reference levels and a midline at 50.
Masking near edges: %K can be temporarily hidden when it is pressing an edge, approaching it with low slope, or going nearly flat near the boundary. This keeps the panel readable during “stuck at the edge” phases.
Soft glow (optional): highlights %K’s active path; can be turned off.
Light/Dark palette: quick toggle to match your chart theme.
Scale safety: all plotted values (lines, fills, markers) are clamped to 0–100 to prevent the axis from expanding beyond the stochastic range.
Markers and filters
Neutral K–D cross markers: circles in the mid-zone when %K crosses %D.
Edge triangles: show when %K crosses 20 or 80; can be restricted to a session window (02:00–12:00 ET).
Filters (optional):
Min %K slope: require a minimum absolute slope so very flat crosses are ignored.
Min |K–D| gap: demand separation between lines at the cross moment.
%D slope agreement: keep crosses that align with %D’s direction.
Mid-zone mute: suppress crosses inside a user-defined 40–60 band (defaults).
Cooldown: minimum bars between successive markers.
Parameters (quick guide)
K Length / K Smoothing / D Length: core stochastic settings. Start with 20/10/10; tune K Smoothing first if you see too much jitter.
Overbought / Oversold (80/20): adjust for assets that tend to trend (raise to 85/15) or mean-revert (lower to 75/25).
Slope & gap filters: increase on very noisy symbols; reduce if you miss too many crosses.
Session window (triangles only): use if you want edge markers only during active hours.
Marker size and offset: cosmetic; they do not affect calculations.
Alerts
K–D Cross Up (filtered) and K–D Cross Down (filtered): fire when a cross passes your filters/cooldown.
Edge Up / Edge Down: fire when %K crosses the 20/80 levels.
All alerts confirm on bar close.

Initial Balance SMC-V3
Initial Balance SMC-V3 – An Advanced Mean Reversion Indicator for Index Markets
The Initial Balance SMC-V3 indicator is the result of continuous refinement in mean reversion trading, with a specific focus on index markets (such as DAX, NASDAQ, S&P 500, etc.). Designed for high-liquidity environments with controlled volatility, it excels at precisely identifying value zones and statistical reversal points within market structure.
🔁 Mean Reversion at Its Core
At the heart of this indicator lies a robust mean reversion logic: rather than chasing extreme breakouts, it seeks returns toward equilibrium levels after impulsive moves. This makes it especially effective in ranging markets or corrective phases within broader trends—situations where many traders get caught in false breakouts.
🎯 Signals Require Breakout + Confirmation
Signals are never generated impulsively. Instead, they require a clear sequence of confirmations:
Break of a key level (e.g., Initial Balance high/low or an SMC zone);
Price re-entry into the range accompanied by a crossover of customizable moving averages (SMA, EMA, HULL, TEMA, etc.);
RSI filter to avoid entries in overbought/oversold extremes;
Volatility filter (ATR) to skip low-volatility, choppy conditions.
This multi-layered approach drastically reduces false signals and significantly improves trade quality.
📊 Built-in Multi-Timeframe Analysis
The indicator features native multi-timeframe logic:
H1 / 15-minute charts: for structural analysis and identification of Supply & Demand zones (SMC);
M1 / M5 charts: for precise trade execution, with targeted entries and dynamic risk management.
SMC zones are calculated on higher timeframes (e.g., 4H) to ensure structural reliability, while actual trade signals trigger on lower timeframes for maximum precision.
⚙️ Advanced Customization
Full choice of moving average type (SMA, EMA, WMA, RMA, VWMA, HULL, TEMA, ZLEMA, etc.);
Revenge Trading logic: after a stop loss is hit without reaching the 1:1 breakeven level, the indicator automatically prepares for a counter-trade;
Dynamic ATR-based stop loss with customizable multiplier;
Session filters to trade only during optimal liquidity windows (e.g., European session).
🧠 Who Is It For?
This indicator is ideal for traders who:
Primarily trade indices;
Prefer mean reversion strategies over pure trend-following;
Seek a disciplined, rule-based system with multiple confluence filters;
Use a multi-timeframe approach to separate analysis from execution.
In short: Initial Balance SMC-V3 is more than just an indicator—it’s a complete trading framework for mean reversion on index markets, where every signal emerges from a confluence of statistical, structural, and temporal factors.
Happy trading! 📈
EMP Probabilistic [CHE]Part 1 — For Traders (Practical Overview, no formulas)
What this tool does
EMP Probabilistic \ turns raw price action into a clean, probability-aware map. It builds two adaptive bands around the session open of a higher timeframe you choose (called the S-timeframe) and highlights a robust median threshold. At a glance you know:
Where price has recently tended to stay,
Whether current momentum sits above or below the median, and
A live Long vs. Short probability based on recent outcomes.
Why it improves decisions
Objective context in any regime: The nonparametric band comes straight from recent market behavior, without assuming a particular distribution.
Volatility-aware risk lens: The parametric band adapts to current volatility, helping you judge stretch and room for continuation or snap-back.
No lookahead: All stats update only after an S-bar is finished. That means the panel reflects information you truly had at that time.
How to read the chart
Orange band = empirical, distribution-free range derived from recent session returns (nonparametric).
Teal band = volatility-scaled range around the session open (parametric).
Median dots: green when close is above the median threshold, red when below.
Info panel: shows the active S-timeframe, window sizes, live coverage for both bands, the internal width parameter and volatility estimate, plus a one-line summary.
Probability label: “Long XX% • Short YY%” — a simple read on the recent balance of up vs. down S-bars.
How to use it (quick start)
1. Choose S-timeframe with Auto, Multiplier, or Manual. “Auto” scales your chart TF up to a sensible higher step.
2. Set alpha to control how tight the inner band should be. A typical value gives you a comfortable center zone without cutting off healthy trends.
3. Trade the context:
Trend-following: Prefer longs when price holds above the median; prefer shorts when it stays below.
Mean-reversion: Fade moves near the outer edges during ranges; look for reversion back toward the median.
Breakout filter: Require closes that push and hold beyond the volatility band for momentum plays; avoid noise when price chops inside the middle of the orange band.
Risk management made practical
Size positions relative to the teal band width to keep risk consistent across instruments and regimes.
For stops, many traders set them just beyond the opposite orange bound or use a fraction of the teal band.
Watch the panel’s coverage readouts and Brier score; when they deteriorate, the market may be shifting — reduce size or demand stronger confirmation.
Suggested presets
Scalping (Crypto/FX): Auto S-TF, alpha around a fifth, calibration window near two hundred, RS volatility, metrics window near two hundred.
Intraday Futures: Multiplier 3–5× your chart TF; similar alpha and window sizes; RS volatility is a solid default.
Swing/Equities: S-TF at least daily; test both RS and GK volatility modes; keep windows on the larger side for stability.
What makes it different
Two complementary lenses: a distribution-free read of recent behavior and a volatility-scaled read for risk and stretch.
Self-calibrating width: the parametric band quietly nudges its internal multiplier so actual coverage tracks your target.
Clean UX: grouped inputs, tooltips, an info panel that tells you what’s going on, and a simple median bias you can act on.
Repainting & timing
The logic updates only when the S-bar closes. On lower-timeframe charts you’ll see intrabar flips of the dot color — that’s just live price moving around. For strict signals, confirm on S-bar close.
Friendly note (not financial advice)
Use this as a context engine. It won’t predict the future, but it will keep you on the right side of probability and volatility more often, which is exactly where consistency starts.
Part 2 — Under the Hood (Conceptual, no formulas)
Data and timeframe design
The script works on a higher S-timeframe you select. It fetches the open, high, low, close, and time of that S-bar. Internally, it only updates its rolling windows after an S-bar has finished. It then pushes the previous S-bar’s statistics into its arrays. That design removes lookahead and keeps the metrics out-of-sample relative to the current S-bar.
Nonparametric band (distribution-free)
The orange band comes from the empirical distribution of recent session-level close-minus-open moves. The script keeps a rolling window, sorts a safe copy, and reads three key points: a lower bound, a median, and an upper bound. Because it’s based purely on observed outcomes, it adapts naturally to skew, fat tails, and regime shifts without assuming any particular shape. The orange range shows “where price has tended to live” lately on the chosen S-timeframe.
Parametric band (volatility-scaled)
The teal band models log-space variability around the session open using one of two well-known OHLC volatility estimators: Rogers–Satchell or Garman–Klass. Each estimator contributes a per-bar variance figure; the script averages these across the rolling window to form a current volatility scale. It then builds a symmetric band around the session open in price space. This gives you a volatility-aware notion of stretch that complements the distribution-free orange band.
Self-calibration of band width
The teal band has an internal width multiplier. After each completed S-bar the script checks whether the realized move stayed inside that band. If the band was too tight, the multiplier is nudged upward; if it was too loose, it’s eased downward. A simple learning rate governs how quickly it adapts. Over time this keeps the realized inside-coverage close to the target implied by your alpha setting, without you having to hand-tune anything.
Long/Short probability and calibration quality
The Long vs. Short probability is a transparent statistic: it’s just the recent fraction of up sessions in the rolling window. It is not a complex model — and that’s the point. You get an honest, intuitive read on directional tendency.
To monitor how well this simple probability lines up with reality, the script tracks a Brier-style score over a separate metrics window. Lower is better: it means your recent probability read has matched outcomes more closely.
Coverage tracking for both bands
The panel reports coverage for the orange band (nonparametric) and the teal band (parametric). These are rolling averages of how often recent S-bar moves landed inside each band. Watching these two numbers tells you whether market behavior still aligns with the recent distribution and with the current volatility model.
Why it doesn’t repaint
Because the arrays update only when an S-bar closes and only push the previous bar’s stats, the panel and metrics reflect information you had at the time. Intrabar visuals can change while a bar is forming — that’s expected — but the decision framework itself is anchored to completed S-bars.
Performance and practicality
The heaviest step is sorting a copy of the window for the nonparametric band. With typical window sizes this stays responsive on TradingView. The volatility estimators and rolling averages are lightweight. Inputs are grouped with clear tooltips so you can tune without hunting.
Limitations and good practice
In thin or gappy markets the bands can jump; consider a larger window or a higher S-timeframe.
During violent regime shifts, shorten the window and increase the learning rate slightly so the teal band catches up faster — but don’t overdo it, or you’ll chase noise.
The Long/Short probability is intentionally simple; it’s a context indicator, not a standalone signal factory. Combine it with structure, volume, or your execution rules.
Takeaway
Under the hood, the script blends empirical behavior and volatility scaling, then self-calibrates so the teal band’s real-world coverage stays near your target. You get clarity, consistency, and a dashboard that tells you when its own assumptions are holding up — exactly what you need to trade with confidence.

Omega ATR Indicator📖 Introduction
The Ω ATR Indicator was created to provide a more complete and professional framework for volatility analysis than the classic Average True Range (ATR).
While the traditional ATR is a useful tool, it has limitations: it delivers a simple rolling average of volatility, but it does not adapt to market regimes, it does not highlight extreme events, and it often leaves the trader with incomplete information about risk.
The Ω ATR takes the same foundation and elevates it into a multi-dimensional volatility dashboard, adding statistical layers, adaptive calculations, and clear visual references that allow traders to interpret volatility in a way that is immediately actionable.
🔎 What makes it different from a standard ATR?
This indicator introduces several features beyond the classic formula:
True Range Core – plots the raw True Range (TR) for each bar, providing a direct, bar-by-bar view of volatility impulses.
Standard & Adjusted ATR – includes both the conventional ATR (smoothed average) and an Adjusted ATR that automatically corrects for extreme conditions by incorporating percentile rescaling.
Percentile Volatility Levels – dynamically calculated extreme thresholds (99.8%, 75%, 50%, 25%), plotted as dotted levels across the chart. These act as reference lines for “normal” vs. “abnormal” volatility, useful for spotting unusual price expansions or contractions.
Linear Regression Volatility Trend – overlays a regression line of volatility, showing whether the market is moving toward expansion (rising vol), contraction (falling vol), or stability.
Monetary Value Translation – the indicator converts volatility into points, ticks, and dollar values (based on the instrument’s point value). This allows futures traders and high-value instruments users to immediately see how much volatility is “worth” in cash terms.
Interactive Table Display – a real-time statistics table is displayed directly on the chart, showing:
SMA of ATR in $ and points
Percentile-based volatility range (VAR) in $ and points
Tick equivalences, for quick position sizing
⚡ How traders can use it
The Ω ATR Indicator is designed to be versatile, fitting both discretionary traders and systematic strategy developers.
Risk Management: ATR-based stop losses and position sizing are significantly improved by using the adjusted ATR and percentile thresholds. Traders can size their positions according to volatility regimes, not just raw averages.
Breakout & Exhaustion Detection: When TR or ATR values spike above the 99.8% or 95% percentile levels, this often corresponds to breakout conditions or volatility exhaustion — useful for breakout strategies, mean-reversion setups, and volatility fades.
Market Regime Identification: The regression line helps distinguish if volatility is rising (trending environment, larger swings expected) or compressing (range-bound environment, lower risk opportunities).
Multi-Asset Flexibility: Works equally well on equities, futures, crypto, and FX. Its point/tick/dollar conversion makes it especially powerful for futures traders who need to quantify risk precisely.
Scalping to Swing Trading: On lower timeframes, it acts as a micro-volatility detector; on higher timeframes, it functions as a strategic risk gauge for position management.
⚙️ Settings and Customization
Length: The ATR lookback period (default = 34).
Shorter lengths (14–21) for intraday traders who want fast response.
Longer lengths (34–55) for swing/position traders who want smoother readings.
AVG / ADJ AVG: Toggle to display the standard ATR or the adjusted ATR.
Volatility Levels: Enable/disable up to 4 percentile-based levels (1st = 25%, 2nd = 50%, 3rd = 75%, 4th = 99.8%). Recommended: keep 3 levels active for clarity.
Color Controls: All plots and levels are fully customizable to match your chart style.
Table Display: Positioned on the chart (default: middle-right) with key values updated in real time.
🧭 Best Practices for Use
Combine with Trend Tools: Volatility readings are most powerful when combined with trend filters or volume analysis. For example, a breakout with both high volatility and trend confirmation is stronger than either alone.
ATR Stops: Use the Adjusted ATR rather than the standard one when trailing stops in highly volatile instruments like crypto or Nasdaq futures, as it adapts to outlier spikes.
Dollar Risk Translation: Use the dollar-value outputs to predefine maximum acceptable risk per trade (e.g., “I only risk $250 per position”). This bridges volatility to portfolio risk management.
Event Monitoring: Around economic events or earnings, expect volatility spikes above higher percentile levels. The indicator makes these moves instantly visible.
📌 Summary
The Ω ATR Indicator is not just “another ATR.” It is a comprehensive volatility framework that transforms volatility from a simple statistic into an actionable trading signal.
By combining:
the classic ATR,
an adjusted ATR,
percentile extremes,
regression-based volatility trends,
and real-time dollar conversions,
…this tool allows traders to precisely understand, visualize, and act on volatility in ways that a standard ATR simply cannot provide.
Whether you are scalping intraday moves, swing trading equities, or managing futures positions, the Ω ATR equips you with a professional-grade volatility dashboard that clarifies risk, highlights opportunity, and adapts across all markets and timeframes.

Hazel nut BB Strategy, volume base- lite versionHazel nut BB Strategy, volume base — lite version
Having knowledge and information in financial markets is only useful when a trader operates with a well-defined trading strategy. Trading strategies assist in capital management, profit-taking, and reducing potential losses.
This strategy is built upon the core principle of supply and demand dynamics. Alongside this foundation, one of the widely used technical tools — the Bollinger Bands — is employed to structure a framework for profit management and risk control.
In this strategy, the interaction of these tools is explained in detail. A key point to note is that for calculating buy and sell volumes, a lower timeframe function is used. When applied with a tick-level resolution, this provides the most precise measurement of buyer/seller flows. However, this comes with a limitation of reduced historical depth. Users should be aware of this trade-off: if precise tick-level data is required, shorter timeframes should be considered to extend historical coverage .
The strategy offers multiple configuration options. Nevertheless, it should be treated strictly as a supportive tool rather than a standalone trading system. Decisions must integrate personal analysis and other instruments. For example, in highly volatile assets with narrow ranges, it is recommended to adjust profit-taking and stop-loss percentages to smaller values.
◉ Volume Settings
• Buyer and seller volume (up/down volume) are requested from a lower timeframe, with an option to override the automatic resolution.
• A global lookback period is applied to calculate moving averages and cumulative sums of buy/sell/delta volumes.
• Ratios of buyers/sellers to total volume are derived both on the current bar and across the lookback window.
◉ Bollinger Band
• Bands are computed using configurable moving averages (SMA, EMA, RMA, WMA, VWMA).
• Inputs allow control of length, standard deviation multiplier, and offset.
• The basis, upper, and lower bands are plotted, with a shaded background between them.
◉ Progress & Proximity
• Relative position of the price to the Bollinger basis is expressed as percentages (qPlus/qMinus).
• “Near band” conditions are triggered when price progress toward the upper or lower band exceeds a user-defined threshold (%).
• A signed score (sScore) represents how far the close has moved above or below the basis relative to band width.
◉ Info Table
• Optional compact table summarizing:
• - Upper/lower band margins
• - Buyer/seller volumes with moving averages
• - Delta and cumulative delta
• - Buyer/seller ratios per bar and across the window
• - Money flow values (buy/sell/delta × price) for bar-level and summed periods
• The table is neutral-colored and resizable for different chart layouts.
◉ Zone Event Gate
• Tracks entry into and exit from “near band” zones.
• Arming logic: a side is armed when price enters a band proximity zone.
• Trigger logic: on exit, a trade event is generated if cumulative buyer or seller volume dominates over a configurable window.
◉ Trading Logic
• Orders are placed only on zone-exit events, conditional on volume dominance.
• Position sizing is defined as a fixed percentage of strategy equity.
• Long entries occur when leaving the lower zone with buyer dominance; short entries occur when leaving the upper zone with seller dominance.
◉ Exit Rules
• Open positions are managed by a strict priority sequence:
• 1. Stop-loss (% of entry price)
• 2. Take-profit (% of entry price)
• 3. Opposite-side event (zone exit with dominance in the other direction)
• Stop-loss and take-profit levels are configurable
◉ Notes
• This lite version is intended to demonstrate the interaction of Bollinger Bands and volume-based dominance logic.
• It provides a framework to observe how price reacts at band boundaries under varying buy/sell pressure, and how zone exits can be systematically converted into entry/exit signals.
When configuring this strategy, it is essential to carefully review the settings within the Strategy Tester. Ensure that the chosen parameters and historical data options are correctly aligned with the intended use. Accurate back testing depends on applying proper configurations for historical reference. The figure below illustrates sample result and configuration type.
BTCUSD Dual Thrust (1H)BTCUSD Dual Thrust (1H) — Indicator
Overview
The Dual Thrust is a classic breakout-type strategy designed to capture strong directional moves when markets show imbalance between buyers and sellers. This indicator adapts the method specifically for BTCUSD on the 1-Hour timeframe, showing dynamic Buy/Sell trigger levels and live signals.
Origin
The Dual Thrust system was originally introduced by Michael Vitucci and has been widely used in futures and high-volatility markets. It was designed as a day-trading breakout framework, where daily high/low and close data define the range for the next session’s trade triggers.
How it Works
Each new day, the indicator calculates a “breakout range” using daily price data.
Two trigger levels are projected from the daily open:
Buy Trigger: Open + Range × KUp
Sell Trigger: Open - Range × KDn
Range can be built from either:
Classic Dual Thrust formula: max(High - Close , Close - Low) over a lookback period, or
ATR-based range: for volatility-adaptive signals.
A LONG signal fires when price crosses above the Buy Trigger.
An EXIT signal fires when price crosses below the Sell Trigger.
Buy/Sell lines step forward across each intraday bar until recalculated at the next daily open.
Practical Use
Optimized for BTCUSD 1-Hour charts (crypto’s volatility provides stronger follow-through).
Use the Buy/Sell levels as dynamic breakout lines or as confluence with your own setups.
Alerts are built in, so you can receive notifications when a LONG or EXIT condition triggers.
Designed as an indicator only (not a backtest strategy).
Key Features
✅ Daily Buy/Sell trigger lines auto-calculated and forward-filled
✅ LONG / EXIT labels on signals
✅ Optional ATR mode for volatility regimes
✅ Optional bar coloring for easy visual scanning
✅ Alerts ready for live monitoring
⚡️ Tip: While this indicator highlights breakout opportunities, effectiveness can improve when combined with trend filters (e.g., 200-SMA) or when aligned with higher timeframe supply/demand zones.
Chartlense Dashboard (Data, Trend & Levels)Chartlense Dashboard (Data, Trend & Levels)
Overview
This dashboard is designed to solve two common problems for traders: chart clutter and the manual drawing of support and resistance levels . It consolidates critical data from multiple indicators into a clean table overlay and automatically plots the most relevant S&R levels based on recent price action. The primary goal is to provide a clear, at-a-glance overview of the market's structure and data.
It offers both a vertical and horizontal layout to fit any trader's workspace.
Key Concepts & Calculations Explained
This indicator is more than a simple collection of values; it synthesizes data to provide unique insights. Here’s a conceptual look at how its core components work:
Automatic Support & Resistance (Pivot-Based):
The dashed support (green) and resistance (red) lines are not manually drawn. They are dynamically calculated based on the most recent confirmed pivot highs and pivot lows . A pivot is a foundational concept in technical analysis that identifies potential turning points in price action.
How it works: A pivot high is a candle whose `high` is higher than a specific number of candles to its left and right (the "Pivot Lookback" is set to 5 by default in the settings). A pivot low is the inverse. By automatically identifying these confirmed structural points, the script visualizes the most relevant levels of potential supply and demand on the chart.
Relative Volume (RVOL):
This value in the table is not the standard volume. It measures the current bar's volume against its recent average (specifically, `current volume / 10-period simple moving average of volume`).
Interpretation: A reading above 2.0 (indicated by green text) suggests that the current volume is more than double the recent average. This technique is used to identify significant volume spikes, which can add conviction to breakouts or signal potential market climaxes.
Consolidated Data for Context:
Other values displayed in the table, such as the EMAs (9, 20, 200) , Bollinger Bands (20, 2) , RSI (14) , MACD (12, 26, 9) , and VWAP (on intraday charts), use their standard industry calculations. They are included to provide a complete contextual picture without needing to load each indicator separately, saving valuable chart space.
How to Use This in Your Trading
This dashboard is designed as a tool for confluence and context , not as a standalone signal generator. Here are some ways to integrate it into your analysis workflow:
As a Trend Filter: Before considering a trade, quickly glance at the EMAs and the MACD values in the table. A price above the key EMAs and a positive MACD can serve as a quick confirmation that you are aligned with the dominant trend.
To Validate Breakouts: When the price is approaching a key Resistance level (red pivot line), watch the RVOL value . A reading above 2.0 on the breakout candle adds significant confirmation that the move is backed by strong interest. The same logic applies to breakdowns below a support level.
To Spot Potential Reversals: Confluence is key. For example, if the price is testing a Support level (green pivot line) AND the RSI in the table is approaching oversold levels (e.g., near 30), it can signal a higher probability reversal setup.
About This Indicator
This indicator was developed by the team at ChartLense to help traders declutter their charts and focus on the data that matters. We believe in making complex analysis more accessible and organized. We hope this free tool is a valuable addition to your trading process.
Bias + VWAP Pullback — v4 (PA + BOS/CHOCH)Simple idea: I identify the trend (bias) from the larger timeframe, and only trade pullbacks to the VWAP/EMA during liquidity (London/New York). When the trend is clear, gold moves strongly, and its pullbacks to the balance lines provide clear opportunities.
Timeframe and Sessions (Cairo Time)
Analysis: H1 to determine the trend.
Implementation: 5m (or 1m if professional).
Trading window:
London Opening: 10:00–12:30
New York Opening: 16:30–19:00
(avoid the rest of the day unless there is exceptional traffic).
Direction determination (BIAS)
On H1:
If the price is above the 200 EMA and the daily VWAP is bullish and the price is above it → uptrend (long-only).
If the price is below the 200 EMA and the daily VWAP is bearish and the price is below it → bearish trend (short-only).
Determine your levels: yesterday's high/low (PDH/PDL) + approximate Asia range (03:00–09:30).
Entry Rules (Setup A: Trend Continuation)
Asia range breakout towards Bias during liquidity window.
Wait for a withdrawal to:
Daily VWAP, or
EMA50 on 5m frame (best if both cross).
Confirmation: Confirmation low/high on 5m (HL buy/LH sell) + clear impulse candle (Body is greater than average of last 10 candles).
Entry:
Buy: When the price returns above VWAP/EMA50 with a confirmation candle close.
Sell: The exact opposite.
Stop Loss (SL): Below/above the last confirmation low/high or ATR(14, 5m) x 1.5 (largest).
Objectives:
TP1 = 1R (Close 50% and move the rest Break-even).
TP2 = 2.5R to 3R or at an important HTF level (PDH/PDL/Bid/Demand Zone).
Entry Rules (Setup B: Reversion to VWAP – “Mean Reversion”)
Use with extreme caution, once daily maximum:
Price deviation from VWAP by more than ~1.5 x ATR(14, 5m) with rejection candles appearing near PDH/PDL.
Reverse entry towards the return of VWAP.
SL small behind rejection top/bottom.
Main target: VWAP. (Don't get greedy — this scenario is for extended periods only.)
News Filtering and Risk Management
Avoid trading 15–30 minutes before/after strong US news (CPI, NFP, FOMC).
Maximum daily loss: 1.5–2% of account balance.
Risk per trade: 0.25–0.5% (if you are learning) or 0.5–1% (if you are experienced).
Do not exceed two consecutive losing trades per day.
Don't chase the market after the opportunity has passed — wait for the next pullback.
Smart Deal Management
After TP1: Move stop to entry point + trail the rest with EMA20 on 5m or ATR Trailing = ATR(14)×1.0.
If the price touches a strong daily level (PDH/PDL) and fails to break, consider taking additional profit.
If VWAP starts to flatten and breaks against the trend on H1, stop trading for the day.
Quick Checklist (Before Entry)
H1 trend is clear and consistent with 200EMA + VWAP.
Penetrating the Asia range towards Bias.
Clean pull to VWAP/EMA50 on 5m.
Confirmation candle and real push.
SL is logical (behind swing/ATR×1.5) and R :R ≥ 1:2.
No red news coming soon.
Example of "ready-made" settings
EMA: 20, 50, 200 on 5m, 200 only on H1.
VWAP: Daily (reset daily).
ATR: 14 on 5m.
Levels: PDH/PDL + Asia Band (03:00–09:30 Cairo).
Gold Notes
Gold is fast and sharp at the open; don't get in early — wait for the draw.
Fakeouts are common before news: it is best to call with the trend after the price returns above/below VWAP.
Don't expect 80% consistent wins every day — the advantage comes from discipline, filtering out bad days, and only withdrawing when you're on the right track.
