Volume Delta MontoscaTechnical Summary: Volume Delta Montosca + Market Bias V3
The Volume Delta Montosca + Market Bias V3 is a multi-layered analysis tool designed to decode market sentiment through volume decomposition and relative strength. Instead of looking at volume as a single metric, this indicator splits every bar into its buy and sell components to reveal the true intent behind price movements.
Core Volume Analysis and Delta Logic
The indicator uses a calculation based on price movement within each bar to estimate Buy and Sell Delta. It measures the relationship between the close, high, and low to determine how much of the total volume was aggressive buying versus aggressive selling. Users can define a Dominance Threshold (typically 80%), which acts as a filter to identify bars where one side has a "substantial majority," effectively ignoring noise and focusing on high-conviction moves.
Signal Generation and FVG Filtering
Signals are categorized into two levels of importance. Base Signals (represented by small circles) occur when there is a significant volume spike—defined by a 20-period SMA—combined with high dominance. However, the indicator also features an internal Fair Value Gap (FVG) Filter. When price action "inverts" or breaks through a recent price imbalance while showing dominant volume, the indicator triggers a High-Priority Signal (represented by triangles). This specific logic ensures that signals are not just based on volume, but on the successful reclamation of key price areas.
Dynamic Market Bias and Comparative Strength
Beyond individual asset analysis, the script includes a Market Bias Engine that compares the current ticker against a benchmark, such as the S&P 500 (ES1!). It calculates a ratio between the two assets and applies a "Volume Supremacy" logic. If the current asset shows expanding volume and higher dominance percentages than the benchmark, the Bias Panel updates to show which asset is leading the market. This allows traders to see at a glance if they are trading the strongest available asset or if the broader market bias is shifting against them.
Visual Elements and Customization
The tool offers a clean visual experience by plotting a dual-colored histogram where the dominant volume color takes priority. It also includes Volume Candles, which paint the bars on the main chart to match the volume sentiment, and Top Diamonds to mark the peaks of volume expansion. All features, including the FVG lookback range and the SMA adjustment factor, are fully customizable to fit different trading timeframes and styles.

Engulfing Breakout StructureEngulfing Breakout Structure (EBS)
" Identify High-Probability Market Structures, Not Just Patterns. "
The E ngulfing Breakout Structure (EBS) is a professional-grade analysis tool designed to filter market noise and identify the true origins of significant price movements. While standard Engulfing patterns occur frequently, many lead to "fakeouts" within a range. EBS solves this by treating an engulfing candle as a potential "structure" that is only validated once a decisive Break-away occurs.
How it Works: The EBS Logic
Unlike traditional indicators that plot signals immediately, EBS follows a strict confirmation process:
Structure Formation (Invisible): The script internally tracks "Candidate" engulfing candles.
Break-away Validation: The structure is only drawn on the chart after price aggressively breaks out of the engulfing range, accompanied by a Fair Value Gap (FVG).
Historical Anchoring: Once confirmed, the block is plotted back to its origin, highlighting the exact zone where the market imbalance was created.
Key Features
Break-away Filter: Eliminates low-probability signals by ensuring price has left the "zone of indecision."
Dynamic Structure Plotting: Automatically draws the supply/demand blocks that acted as the catalyst for the breakout.
Smart FVG Integration: Detects and highlights the gaps created during the breakout, providing additional confluence for entry.
EBS Break-away Confirmed: Triggered the moment a new structure is validated by a decisive price breakout. This alert signals that a new supply or demand zone has been established.
EBS Structure Tested (Mitigation): Triggered when price returns to touch a previously confirmed EBS block. This "Mitigation" often presents the highest risk-to-reward entry opportunity as it tests the origin of the breakout.
Trading Strategy
The Breakout (Aggressive): Enter as soon as the EBS block and FVG appear, following the momentum.
The Retest (Conservative): Wait for price to return and "mitigate" the EBS block. This retest of a confirmed breakout structure is a classic institutional entry pattern.
Predictive Candle and Accuracy CoreThis Predictive Candle – Accuracy Core indicator is designed to project the likely direction and size of the next candle based on market microstructure, volatility, momentum, and volume dynamics. It calculates a delta-based volume imbalance, RSI, EMA distances, ATR, and ADX to assess both the strength and trend of the market. The script applies a market regime filter to allow predictions only when trends are strong and aligned, then computes weighted bullish and bearish scores, normalizes them into probabilities, and self-measures its historical accuracy. Using this, it projects the next candle’s body and wicks, color-coded green or red for bullish or bearish, with a confidence percentage label. The projection adjusts dynamically for volatility, ADX strength, and prediction accuracy, providing traders with a quantitative, adaptive visual cue for potential price movement without repainting.

Mean Reversion Mirror📌 Mean Reversion Mirror — Multi‑Level Mean Reversion Strategy
Mean Reversion Mirror is an advanced modular mean‑reversion strategy built around dynamic and static deviation levels from a moving average.
The strategy automatically scales into positions across six levels (LONG and SHORT), using both dynamic MA‑based deviation levels and static levels that lock in after entry.
🔍 Core Concept
Price tends to revert toward its mean.
This strategy exploits that behavior by opening an initial base entry at the first deviation and adding positions as the imbalance grows.
Each additional level improves the average entry price and increases the probability of exiting profitably.
⚙️ Key Features
📈 Six Dynamic Deviation Levels
Levels are calculated as percentage deviations from a selected MA (WMA, SMA, EMA, RMA, HMA).
This makes the strategy adaptive to volatility and market structure.
📉 Six Static Levels
Once triggered, each level becomes fixed and no longer changes.
This creates a stable averaging grid independent of future MA movement.
🎯 Flexible Take‑Profit System
fixed take‑profit
or trailing take‑profit with dynamic offset
🖐 Manual Entry Support
You can manually set a price for LONG or SHORT, and the strategy will execute the base entry automatically.
📊 Rich Visualization
dynamic deviation levels
static levels
dotted “last chance” levels
average position price
take‑profit line
compact mini‑table with key position metrics
📦 Two Operating Modes
STK Mode — fixed unit size
Classic Mode — quantity calculated from USD value
🧠 Entry Logic
The strategy uses sequences B1–B6 (LONG) and S1–S6 (SHORT):
B1/S1 — base entry
B2–B6 / S2–S6 — averaging entries as deviation increases
L6/S6 — “last chance” level with its own size
Each level activates only after the previous one.
📌 Who This Strategy Is For
mean‑reversion traders
grid/averaging system users
pullback‑based investors
traders who want clear visual levels
users who prefer manual control over entry points
⚠️ Disclaimer
This strategy is not financial advice.
Always backtest and adjust parameters according to your risk tolerance before using it in live markets.

Gamma of Gamma - AnticipationGamma of Gamma — Anticipation Engine
What if you could detect market inflections before they become obvious? Not react to momentum — anticipate the momentum itself.
"Gamma here refers to mathematical acceleration (2nd derivative), NOT options Gamma"
Gamma of Gamma (GoG) operates one abstraction layer above conventional indicators. While RSI tells you what momentum did , GoG tells you what momentum is about to do . This is the difference between chasing price and positioning ahead of it.
Core Innovation: Traditional indicators measure first-order effects (price change) or second-order effects (momentum/acceleration). This system measures the third derivative — the rate of change of acceleration itself. When Gamma-of-Gamma reaches extremes, it signals that pressure dynamics are about to flip — often 2-5 bars before price visibly reacts.
Target Users: Discretionary traders, scalpers, and swing traders who want early positioning signals with statistical rigor. Effective on stocks, crypto, forex, and futures with meaningful volume data.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
WHY THIRD-DERIVATIVE ANALYSIS?
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The Hierarchy of Market Information
Most traders operate at the wrong level of abstraction:
• Price → What happened (lagging)
• Momentum → How fast it happened (still lagging)
• Gamma (2nd Derivative) → How momentum is changing (coincident)
• Gamma of Gamma (3rd Derivative) → How FAST that change is changing ( leading )
The third derivative captures inflection acceleration — the mathematical signature of regime transition. When GoG reaches extreme values, the market is telegraphing that current pressure dynamics are unsustainable.
Why This Beats RSI
RSI measures momentum magnitude. GoG measures momentum trajectory .
Consider this scenario: RSI reads 70 (overbought). Is the move exhausted or just getting started? RSI cannot tell you. GoG can — because it measures whether buying pressure is accelerating into the high RSI reading (continuation likely) or decelerating despite high RSI (reversal imminent).
RSI answers: "How strong was the move?"
GoG answers: "Is the move strengthening or weakening right now ?"
The first is historical. The second is predictive.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
MATHEMATICAL FOUNDATION
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Layer 1: Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD)
The foundation is order flow approximation:
• Up bar (close > prior close): Volume classified as buying pressure
• Down bar (close < prior close): Volume classified as selling pressure
• CVD = Running sum of signed volume
Interpretation: Rising CVD indicates net aggressive buying. Falling CVD indicates net aggressive selling. CVD divergence from price often precedes reversals.
Layer 2: Gamma (Second Derivative)
Gamma measures acceleration of order flow:
Formula: Gamma = CVD - 2×CVD + CVD
This is the discrete second derivative — the rate of change of the rate of change. When Gamma spikes positive, buying pressure is accelerating . When Gamma spikes negative, selling pressure is accelerating.
Layer 3: Gamma of Gamma (Third Derivative)
GoG measures jerk — the acceleration of acceleration:
Formula: GoG = Gamma - 2×Gamma + Gamma
Critical insight: Extreme GoG readings indicate that current pressure dynamics are reaching an inflection point. The system is "overextended" in its current trajectory and will likely revert or reverse.
Layer 4: Z-Score Normalization
Raw GoG values are normalized against their 50-period distribution:
Formula: GoG_Z = (GoG - Mean_50) / StdDev_50
Benefit: Z-scores are regime-adaptive. A "2.0" reading always means "2 standard deviations from normal" regardless of whether you're trading a penny stock or ES futures. This makes thresholds consistent across instruments and timeframes.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SIGNAL GENERATION LOGIC
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Long Signal (Bullish Anticipation)
Triggers when:
• GoG Z-score < -Threshold (default -2.0)
• Volume > Average Volume × Minimum Multiple (default 1.2×)
Interpretation: Selling pressure acceleration has reached an extreme negative reading. The selling is "exhausting itself" — acceleration is peaking and will soon decelerate. Buyers are likely to step in.
Short Signal (Bearish Anticipation)
Triggers when:
• GoG Z-score > +Threshold (default +2.0)
• Volume > Average Volume × Minimum Multiple (default 1.2×)
Interpretation: Buying pressure acceleration has reached an extreme positive reading. The buying is "exhausting itself" — often occurs at blow-off tops, failed breakouts, or momentum climaxes.
Why Volume Confirmation?
Gamma acceleration in thin liquidity is meaningless noise. The volume filter ensures signals occur only when meaningful participation backs the pressure dynamics. This dramatically reduces false signals during low-activity periods.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
CONFIDENCE ENGINE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Not all signals are equal. The Confidence Engine quantifies signal strength:
Confidence Calculation:
Confidence = 50 + ((|Z-Score| - Threshold) / Threshold) × 100
Capped at 100%
Visual Representation:
• Small orb = Low confidence (50-65%)
• Normal orb = Medium confidence (65-80%)
• Large orb = High confidence (80-100%)
Orb transparency also adjusts — high-confidence signals appear brighter and more prominent. This creates intuitive visual hierarchy where stronger signals demand more attention.
Practical Use:
• High confidence (>80%): Consider larger position size, tighter stops
• Medium confidence (50-80%): Standard position size
• Low confidence (<50%): Reduced size or wait for confirmation
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
INTEGRATED BACKTESTER
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Every signal system needs accountability. The onboard backtester provides real-time performance tracking:
Core Metrics:
• Total Trades
• Win Rate
• Profit Factor
• Expectancy (average P&L per trade)
• Net P&L
• Max Drawdown
• Average Win / Average Loss
Methodology:
• Positions held for configurable bar count (default 10 bars)
• Forces objective evaluation independent of discretionary exits
• Updates in real-time as new trades complete
Optimizer Mode:
Enable for parameter tuning research:
• Stability Score (0-100 points): Composite evaluation of parameter robustness
• Trade Density : Signals per 1000 bars — monitors over/under-trading
• Parameter Display : Current settings for documentation
• Robustness Rating : ROBUST / STABLE / FRAGILE / OVERFIT
Stability Scoring Breakdown:
• Win Rate ≥55%: +25 points | ≥50%: +15 points | ≥45%: +5 points
• Expectancy >0.5%: +25 points | >0.1%: +15 points | >0%: +5 points
• Total Trades ≥30: +25 points | ≥20: +15 points | ≥10: +5 points
• Profit Factor ≥1.5: +25 points | ≥1.2: +15 points | ≥1.0: +5 points
Target: 60+ points indicates stable parameters. Below 40 suggests overfitting risk.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
CHART EXECUTION SIGNALS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Unique feature: Entry and exit markers display directly on the price chart via force_overlay, even though the indicator runs in a separate pane.
Visual Markers:
• ▲ Green Triangle (below bar): Long entry at exact price level
• ▼ Red Triangle (above bar): Short entry at exact price level
• ✕ Gold X-Cross : Position exit after hold period
Benefit: Immediate visual correlation between GoG signals and price action. Review historical trades without switching between panes.

PARAMETER GUIDE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Calculation Settings
• GoG Extreme Threshold (default 2.0): Z-score level for signal generation. Higher = fewer but stronger signals. Range: 0.5-5.0
• Gamma Smoothing (default 3): SMA period for Gamma. Lower = more responsive, more noise. Higher = smoother, more lag. Range: 1-20
• GoG Smoothing (default 5): SMA period for GoG. Filters micro-spikes while preserving structural inflections. Range: 1-20
• Min Volume Multiple (default 1.2): Volume must exceed this multiple of 20-period average. Ensures signals have participation backing. Range: 0.5-3.0
Backtester Settings
• Backtest Hold Bars (default 10): Forced holding period for backtester evaluation. Adjust based on timeframe and trading style.
• Parameter Optimizer Mode : Enables extended metrics for tuning research.
Tuning by Timeframe
Scalping (1-5 min):
Threshold: 1.5-2.0 | Gamma Smooth: 2-3 | GoG Smooth: 3-4 | Hold: 5-8 bars
Day Trading (15-60 min):
Threshold: 2.0-2.5 | Gamma Smooth: 3-5 | GoG Smooth: 5-7 | Hold: 8-12 bars
Swing Trading (4H-Daily):
Threshold: 2.5-3.0 | Gamma Smooth: 5-7 | GoG Smooth: 7-10 | Hold: 10-15 bars
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
HOW TO USE: PRACTICAL WORKFLOW
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Step 1: Identify Regime
Watch the GoG Z-score line. Most of the time it oscillates within the neutral zone (between thresholds). This is "scanning" mode — no actionable signal.
Step 2: Wait for Extreme
When Z-score crosses threshold AND volume confirms, a signal fires. The orb appears in the indicator pane; the triangle appears on price chart.
Step 3: Assess Confidence
Check orb size and dashboard confidence reading:
• Large bright orb + 80%+ confidence = High conviction setup
• Small faint orb + <60% confidence = Requires additional confirmation
Step 4: Execute with Context
GoG signals anticipate — they don't confirm. Use price structure (support/resistance), higher timeframe trend, or other confirmation before entry.
Step 5: Manage Position
Exit markers show backtester exits. For live trading, consider:
• Time-based exit (signal's hold period)
• Opposite signal exit
• Fixed R:R targets
Step 6: Review Performance
Check Backtest Dashboard regularly. If Win Rate drops below 45% or Expectancy goes negative, reassess parameters or market conditions.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
ORIGINALITY STATEMENT
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Innovation 1: Third-Derivative Order Flow Analysis
While first and second derivatives are common, applying third-derivative (jerk) analysis to cumulative volume delta is novel. This captures inflection points that lower-order analysis misses entirely.
Innovation 2: Z-Score Adaptive Thresholds
Rather than fixed thresholds that require per-instrument tuning, z-score normalization creates self-adapting signal levels that work consistently across any liquid instrument.
Innovation 3: Confidence-Weighted Visual System
Dynamic orb sizing and transparency based on signal strength provides intuitive visual hierarchy. Stronger signals literally appear larger and brighter.
Innovation 4: Integrated Accountability
Built-in backtester with optimizer mode enables parameter validation directly on chart. No external tools or spreadsheets required.
Innovation 5: Dual-Pane Execution Visualization
Force-overlay chart signals bridge the gap between indicator pane and price action, enabling immediate visual trade review.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
LIMITATIONS & DISCLAIMERS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Technical Limitations
• Volume classification uses bar direction (close vs prior close), not tick-level aggressor data. Precision loss estimated 10-15% vs institutional-grade data.
• CVD approximation assumes volume follows price direction. Works well in trending conditions; less precise in choppy markets.
• Backtester uses fixed hold period, not optimal exit logic. Real performance may vary with proper trade management.
Market Limitations
• Requires meaningful volume data. Avoid instruments with reported volume issues.
• Signals may cluster during high-volatility events. Not every signal should be traded.
• Anticipation signals appear early by design. Patience required — price may continue against signal briefly before reversing.
Risk Disclosure
• Trading involves risk of loss. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
• This indicator provides analysis tools, not financial advice.
• Always use proper position sizing and risk management.
• Backtest results are hypothetical and do not include slippage, commissions, or fees.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
RECOMMENDED SETTINGS BY MARKET
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Crypto (BTC, ETH, SOL)
Threshold: 1.8-2.2 | Gamma: 3 | GoG: 5 | Volume: 1.3x | TF: 15min-4H
Notes: Higher volatility produces more signals. Consider higher threshold to filter.
Forex Majors (EURUSD, GBPUSD)
Threshold: 2.0-2.5 | Gamma: 4 | GoG: 6 | Volume: 1.2x | TF: 5min-1H
Notes: Lower volatility requires patience. Volume proxy via tick volume works adequately.
Stocks (Large Cap)
Threshold: 2.0-2.5 | Gamma: 3-4 | GoG: 5-6 | Volume: 1.2x | TF: 15min-Daily
Notes: Real volume data provides cleanest signals. Watch for opening/closing auction distortions.
Futures (ES, NQ, CL)
Threshold: 2.0-2.3 | Gamma: 3 | GoG: 5 | Volume: 1.2x | TF: 5min-1H
Notes: Excellent volume data. Session boundaries may produce false signals — consider RTH only.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
CONCLUSION
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Gamma of Gamma represents a fundamental shift in signal philosophy: from reacting to momentum to anticipating momentum.
By operating at the third derivative of order flow, this system detects the mathematical signatures of regime transition — the moments when current pressure dynamics become unsustainable and reversal becomes probable.
This is not another oscillator telling you what already happened. This is an anticipation engine positioning you for what's about to happen.
Stop chasing. Start anticipating.
RSI tells you where momentum was. GoG tells you where it's going.

Mismatch Strategy | Madrimov tradeTitle
Mismatch Strategy by Madrimov trade – Gold vs DXY Impulse and Compression
Description
Concept
This indicator is based on a cross-market mismatch principle between Gold (XAUUSD) and the US Dollar Index (DXY).
It looks for situations where DXY expands aggressively while Gold temporarily fails to respond, creating a build-up of directional pressure that is often released once Gold breaks its short-term range.
Methodology (High-Level Overview)
The script evaluates three conditions on the same chart timeframe:
DXY Impulse Detection
A directional impulse on DXY is detected when the candle’s range exceeds a multiple of its ATR, indicating unusually strong participation rather than normal fluctuation.
Gold Compression Filter
At the same time, Gold must remain compressed, defined as a candle range significantly smaller than its own ATR.
This represents under-reaction or absorption despite external pressure.
Delayed Breakout Confirmation
Trades are triggered only after the mismatch occurs and Gold subsequently breaks its recent high or low over a configurable lookback period.
This delay avoids chasing impulses and focuses on release after compression.
Why This Is Different
Unlike traditional trend or correlation indicators, this script does not trade direction directly.
Instead, it evaluates effort versus response across two related markets, filtering out low-quality momentum and false breakouts.
The strategy focuses on:
Cross-asset pressure imbalance
Volatility-normalized conditions
Sequential confirmation rather than instant signals
How to Use
Designed primarily for XAUUSD charts
Works best on intraday timeframes (5m–15m)
Signals are strongest when aligned with higher-timeframe bias
Buy and sell signals are plotted directly on candles
Optional RR visualization can be enabled for reference
Limitations
Not predictive; signals are generated after candle close
Performance degrades during extremely low-liquidity or news-driven spikes
Intended as a decision-support tool, not a standalone trading system
Smart Money Structure | GainzAlgo📊 OVERVIEW:
================
Smart Money Structure Analysis is a professional-grade market structure and order-flow system designed to identify institutional trading behavior through volatility-adaptive logic, multi-timeframe trend alignment, and volume-based confirmation.
This indicator implements original mathematical models to detect Change of Character (CHoCH), Break of Structure (BOS), cumulative volume dynamics, and trend convergence across seven timeframes — delivering high-probability trade signals with significantly reduced noise.
Unlike basic indicator combinations, this system functions as a unified trading framework, where volatility adaptation, structure analysis, and volume confirmation continuously reinforce each other to provide precise, context-aware signals.
⭐ WHY THIS SYSTEM IS UNIQUE AND WORTHY OF PUBLICATION:
=====================================================
This is not a collection of common indicators placed together.
Smart Money Structure Analysis represents a cohesive institutional methodology, engineered so that:
- Volatility adjusts signal sensitivity in real time
- Multi-timeframe trends define directional bias
- Market structure determines timing
- Volume confirms institutional participation
- Advanced filters eliminate low-quality setups
Each component is mathematically linked to the others, creating a workflow that cannot be replicated by stacking separate indicators.
🔗 SYNERGISTIC INTEGRATION – HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS TOGETHER:
==========================================================
🧠 1. CONTEXT-AWARE VOLATILITY ADAPTATION
ATR-based volatility logic dynamically adjusts all momentum thresholds:
- Higher volatility → stronger confirmation required
- Lower volatility → sensitivity increases to capture valid moves
This prevents over-signaling in choppy markets and under-signaling during expansion phases — a core flaw in static indicators.
📐 2. MULTI-TIMEFRAME TREND CONVERGENCE ENGINE
Seven timeframes are analyzed simultaneously:
1M • 5M • 15M • 30M • 1H • 4H • 1D
Each timeframe is scored using EMA + VWAP alignment, producing a composite Trend Strength Score from -100 to +100.
The stronger the alignment across timeframes, the higher the probability of continuation — instantly visible through the real-time dashboard.
🏗️ 3. INSTITUTIONAL MARKET STRUCTURE (CHoCH & BOS)
The system automatically identifies the two core smart money concepts:
- CHoCH (Change of Character):
Signals potential trend exhaustion or reversal zones
- BOS (Break of Structure):
Confirms trend continuation and institutional commitment
Structure zones are visualized with persistent, color-coded levels and clouds, providing precise contextual timing rather than lagging signals.
📊 4. CUMULATIVE VOLUME DELTA (CVD) CONFIRMATION
CVD tracks the cumulative difference between buying and selling pressure:
- Rising CVD → accumulation
- Falling CVD → distribution
- Divergence vs price → early reversal warning
Volume participation is categorized into Low / Medium / High, adding depth beyond simple volume bars.
🛡️ 5. SIX-LAYER PROFESSIONAL SIGNAL FILTERING
Every signal must pass through up to six independent confirmation layers:
1. Volatility-adjusted momentum
2. Higher timeframe trend alignment
3. Lower timeframe conflict prevention
4. Institutional volume confirmation
5. Structural breakout validation
6. Repeated-signal restriction
This dramatically reduces false positives while preserving only high-quality institutional setups.
🧮 DETAILED CORE SYSTEMS:
========================
📏 ADAPTIVE MOMENTUM FORMULA
- Momentum Threshold = Base × (1 + (ATR ÷ Price) × 2)
- Pre-Momentum Factor = Base × (1 − (ATR ÷ Price) × 0.5)
📊 TREND STRENGTH CALCULATION
- Trend Strength = (Sum of 7 timeframe scores ÷ 7) × 100
📦 CVD LOGIC
- Close > Previous Close → Buy volume added
- Close < Previous Close → Sell volume subtracted
- Cumulative sum reveals institutional intent
🧠 STRUCTURE DETECTION
- Pivot-based swing logic
- Candle confirmation
- Configurable lookback periods
- Non-repainting visualization
🧩 ADVANCED ANALYSIS TOOLS:
==========================
🧲 LIQUIDITY ZONE DETECTION
Identifies probable retail stop-loss clusters where institutions often initiate stop hunts before true directional moves.
📦 MARKET PROFILE & ORDER FLOW IMBALANCE
Detects buy/sell dominance using volume ratios, highlighting accumulation and distribution zones before large price moves.
🔄 RSI DIVERGENCE SCANNER
Identifies bullish and bearish divergences that frequently precede structure shifts and trend reversals.

CandelaCharts - SMT 📝 Overview
The CandelaCharts – SMT indicator is a professional-grade Smart Money Technique (SMT) divergence detector designed to compare price action between correlated markets (intermarket analysis).
It identifies moments where the main chart makes a swing high or low while one or more comparison symbols fail to confirm the move—revealing potential institutional imbalance, distribution, or accumulation .
By automatically detecting pivot-based divergences and drawing clean, contextual lines and labels directly on price, SMT helps traders spot high-probability reversal or continuation zones driven by relative strength and weakness across markets.
📦 Features
Automatic SMT divergence detection – Identifies divergences between the main chart and up to two comparison symbols.
Pivot-based logic – Uses swing highs and swing lows to ensure structurally meaningful SMT signals.
Dual-symbol comparison – Compare the main market against one or two correlated instruments simultaneously.
Bullish & bearish SMT filtering – Show only bullish, bearish, or both divergence types.
Clear visual mapping – Divergence lines are drawn directly between pivots for intuitive price-context reading.
Smart labels – Compact labels display symbol(s), volume, and directional markers.
Detailed tooltips – Hover tooltips include divergence type, symbols involved, prices, volume, timestamps, and pivot settings.
Highly customizable visuals – Control colors, line width, and label styling.
⚙️ Settings
Lookback – Pivot lookback length used to detect swing highs and lows. Higher values produce fewer but more significant SMT signals.
Bias – Control which SMTs are displayed: Both, Bearish or Bullish
Swing High Color – Line and label color for SMT at swing highs.
Swing Low Color – Line and label color for SMT at swing lows.
Line Width – Thickness of SMT divergence lines.
Symbol 1 – Enable and select the first comparison instrument (e.g., NQ vs ES).
Symbol 2 – Enable and select the second comparison instrument (optional).

CBDR Standard Deviation V2CBDR
Standard Deviation measures how far price statistically deviates from the central bank dealer range before institutional rebalancing occurs. CBDR defines fair value, while standard deviation highlights liquidity expansion zones. Moves into ±2 SD or beyond often signal stop-loss sweeps and inventory imbalance, where institutions favor mean reversion, not breakouts.
CBDR SD Core Checklist
□ Daily IPDA bias defined
□ Clean CBDR formed (Asia / early London)
□ CBDR high & low marked
□ ±1 and ±2 SD levels plotted
□ Liquidity sweep beyond CBDR
□ No high-impact news in session
CBDR SD Reversal Trade Checklist
□ Price taps ±2 SD or ±2.5 SD
□ Clear rejection (wick / displacement)
□ Entry against the expansion, not on breakout
□ Stop placed beyond liquidity extreme
□ TP1: CBDR boundary
□ TP2: CBDR midpoint (mean)
□ TP3 (optional): Opposite CBDR extreme
□ Invalidate if strong trend displacement continues
This reversal model captures institutional fade trades after liquidity is harvested, keeping execution statistical, disciplined, and prop-firm resilient.
5 Layer Script FVG P3 Identifier Package True vs FalseThis script is a Fair Value Gap (FVG) identification framework designed to highlight price inefficiencies created by displacement, not to predict reversals or force entries. The script automatically detects and plots true three candle fair value gaps, allowing traders to objectively identify areas where price moved with imbalance and may later seek re-equilibration. Where you will see the FVG will update from a regular fvg to a True FVG.
How it works
-Identifies valid FVGs based on price displacement, not arbitrary candle size
-Plots FVG zones only after they are fully formed and confirmed
-Zones remain on the chart until price interacts with them
-No repainting once an FVG is printed
How to use it
-Use FVGs as areas of interest, not entry signals
-Best applied when price is returning after expansion
-Combine with: Higher-timeframe bias and Midpoint equilibrium levels
-Market structure shifts
-Liquidity sweeps or session timing
Entries should be taken only after confirmation (reaction, rejection, or shift)
This can be a good entry tool.
Power Candle Morphology Power Score Only- By DaliliPower Candle Morphology Indicator
By Dalili
Overview
This indicator is a price-action–only candle morphology engine designed to identify moments of genuine directional intent rather than noise. It operates strictly on single-bar geometry and immediate context, without moving averages, oscillators, volatility smoothing, or historical aggregation. Each qualifying candle is scored in real time and labeled only when structural dominance is present.
Core Philosophy
Markets move when one side overwhelms the other. This tool quantifies that imbalance directly from the candle itself. It ignores indicators derived from price and instead evaluates how price behaved inside the bar: body dominance, wick asymmetry, closing authority, and classic institutional candle patterns. No hindsight. No averaging. One bar, one judgment.
Morphology Detection
The indicator classifies only high-conviction candle structures:
1. Marubozu variants, where the body controls the full range and the close asserts dominance at the extreme.
2. Engulfing structures, where a current candle decisively absorbs prior opposing intent.
3. Directional pin bars, where rejection is violent and asymmetric, signaling forced participation failure on one side.
If none of these conditions are met, the candle is ignored entirely.
Power Scoring System
Each qualifying candle receives a Power Score from 1 to 10, derived from four independent components:
1. Body dominance as a percentage of total range.
2. Wick asymmetry relative to the body, measuring rejection or control.
3. Close location within the range, measuring who won the bar.
4. Pattern boost for structurally dominant formations.
The score is intentionally capped and discrete. There is no smoothing, rolling average, or cumulative bias.
Signal Output
Only candles that meet both structural qualification and a minimum power threshold are labeled. Labels are minimal by design:
“P#” only, plotted above or below the candle in the direction of dominance. Green denotes bullish control. Red denotes bearish control. No additional text, shapes, or overlays are introduced.
What This Indicator Is Not
It is not predictive.
It is not trend-following.
It is not confirmation-stacking.
It does not care about indicators agreeing with it.
What It Is Used For
This indicator is best used as a decision-quality filter. It answers a single question with precision: Was this candle structurally strong enough to matter? When combined with context such as support and resistance, volume expansion, or volatility contraction, it highlights the exact bars where professional participation is most likely present.
In short, this is a candle truth detector. It strips price action down to dominance, grades it objectively, and stays silent unless something real just happened.
PSP (Precision Swing Point - CIC SMT)PSP SMT – Correlation Stages Indicator
The PSP SMT – Correlation Stages indicator is designed to identify Smart Money divergences (SMT) between correlated markets through a progressive, stage-based model.
It visually classifies price behavior into correlation stages, helping traders detect early imbalance, confirmation, and distribution phases used by institutional participants.
By comparing a primary asset with a correlated symbol, the indicator highlights loss of correlation, displacement, and confirmation signals, offering a structured framework to anticipate potential reversals or continuations within ICT-based market models.
Ideal for traders who apply ICT concepts, intermarket analysis, and liquidity-based strategies, the PSP SMT enhances timing, context, and confidence in decision-making.

Volume-Based Indicator — Data Granularity & Table Guide
1) Critical warning about data granularity (read first)
Important: This indicator is built entirely on volume-derived calculations (volume, volume delta, and related flow metrics). Because of that, its precision is only as good as the granularity and history of the data you feed it.
The most granular view is a tick-based interval (e.g., 1T = one trade/tick). If tick-based intervals are not available for your symbol or your plan, the closest time-based approximation is a 1-second chart (1S).
If you enable any "high-precision / intrabar" options (anything that relies on the smallest updates), make sure you understand which TradingView plan you are using, because intrabar historical depth (how many bars you can load) varies by plan. More history generally means more stable baselines for volume statistics, regime detection, and long lookback features.
Plan-related notes (TradingView)
TradingView limits how many intrabar historical bars can be loaded, depending on your plan. The exact limits are defined by TradingView and can change over time, but as of the current documentation, the intrabar limits are:
• Basic: 5,000 bars
• Essential: 10,000 bars
• Plus: 10,000 bars
• Premium: 20,000 bars
• Expert: 25,000 bars
• Ultimate: 40,000 bars
Tick charts / tick-based intervals are currently positioned as a feature of professional-tier plans (e.g., Expert/Elite/Ultimate). Availability may also vary by symbol and data feed.

Smart Money Zones (FVG + OB) + MTF Trend Panel## Overview
Professional-grade institutional trading zones indicator that identifies **Fair Value Gaps (FVG)** and **Order Blocks (OB)** - key price inefficiencies where smart money operates. Includes a comprehensive **Multi-Timeframe Trend Panel** for complete market context at a glance.
## Core Features
### 🎯 Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
Fair Value Gaps occur when price moves so aggressively that it leaves an "imbalance" or "gap" in the market structure. These zones often act as magnets where price returns to find liquidity.
**Detection Logic:**
- **Bullish FVG**: When current candle's low is above the high of the candle 2 bars ago
- **Bearish FVG**: When current candle's high is below the low of the candle 2 bars ago
- Requires strong impulse candle (configurable body percentage threshold)
- Color-coded zones: Green for bullish, Red for bearish
### 📦 Order Blocks (OB)
Order Blocks represent the last opposite candle before a significant price move - the zone where institutional orders were placed before the breakout.
**Detection Logic:**
- Identifies the last bearish candle before a strong bullish breakout (Bullish OB)
- Identifies the last bullish candle before a strong bearish breakout (Bearish OB)
- Validates breakout strength using ATR multiplier (1.2x default)
- Color-coded zones: Blue for bullish, Orange for bearish
### 📊 Multi-Timeframe Trend Panel
Real-time trend analysis across **7 timeframes** displayed in an elegant dashboard:
- **1 Minute** - Ultra short-term scalping
- **5 Minutes** - Short-term momentum
- **15 Minutes** - Intraday swings
- **30 Minutes** - Session trends
- **1 Hour** - Multi-session trends
- **4 Hours** - Daily structure
- **Daily** - Long-term direction
**Visual Indicators:**
- 🟢 Green circle = Bullish trend
- 🔴 Red circle = Bearish trend
- Clean, professional table design with customizable position and size

### 🧠 Zone Strength Rating
Every zone is automatically classified by strength based on size relative to ATR:
- **VERY STRONG** - 2.0x ATR or more (major institutional zones)
- **STRONG** - 1.5x to 2.0x ATR (significant zones)
- **MEDIUM** - 1.0x to 1.5x ATR (moderate zones)
- **WEAK** - Below 1.0x ATR (minor zones)
Strength rating helps you prioritize which zones to trade from!
### 📉 Smart Mitigation Tracking
Zones automatically track how much they've been "filled" or mitigated:
- Calculates penetration percentage as price enters the zone
- Zones turn **gray** when 50%+ mitigated or fully filled
- Option to **auto-delete** mitigated zones to keep chart clean
- Live zones extend dynamically with price action
### 🎨 Trend Filter (Optional)
When enabled, only shows zones aligned with the current trend:
- Uses customizable MA period (default 50)
- Bullish zones only appear in uptrend
- Bearish zones only appear in downtrend
- Reduces noise and false signals significantly
## Customization Options
### Display Settings
- Toggle FVGs and OBs independently
- Adjust max zones per type (5-200)
- Choose to remove or gray out mitigated zones
- Color customization for all zone types
### Detection Parameters
- **Min Impulse Body %**: Controls how strong the impulse candle must be (0.3-1.0)
- **Order Block Lookback**: How many bars to look back for OB validation (5-50)
- **ATR Length**: Period for ATR calculation (5-50)
### Trend Filter
- Enable/disable trend filtering
- Adjustable MA period for trend determination
### MTF Panel
- Show/hide the trend panel
- 4 position options: Top Right, Top Left, Bottom Right, Bottom Left
- 3 size options: Small, Normal, Large
- Customizable MA period for trend calculation across all timeframes
## Trading Applications
### 1. **Liquidity Grab Entries**
Wait for price to sweep a zone (50%+ mitigation) then enter on reversal. Smart money often "hunts" these zones before the real move begins.
### 2. **Confluence Trading**
Look for zones that align with:
- Multiple timeframe trends showing same direction
- Multiple FVGs/OBs stacking in same area
- Key support/resistance levels
### 3. **Breakout Confirmation**
Use Order Blocks to confirm the strength of breakouts. Strong OBs indicate institutional participation.
### 4. **Retracement Entries**
Enter when price returns to a fresh, unmitigated zone in the direction of the higher timeframe trend.
### 5. **Range Trading**
Identify FVG zones at range extremes - price often reverses at these inefficiencies.
## How It Works
**Fair Value Gaps** form when the middle candle creates such aggressive movement that it leaves a price gap between the high/low of surrounding candles. Institutional traders know these gaps get filled.
**Order Blocks** mark the origin of major moves. The last opposite-colored candle before a breakout is where large orders were placed. Price often returns to these zones for "retests" before continuing.
**Mitigation** happens when price returns to fill these zones. The indicator tracks this automatically, showing you which zones are still "fresh" and which have been used up.
## Best Practices
✅ **Use higher timeframe trends** - Always check the MTF panel before taking trades
✅ **Trade fresh zones** - Unmitigated zones (not gray) have the highest probability
✅ **Combine with price action** - Look for rejection wicks and engulfing candles at zones
✅ **Respect zone strength** - VERY STRONG and STRONG zones are most reliable
✅ **Use trend filter** - Especially on lower timeframes to reduce false signals
❌ **Don't overtrade** - Not every zone will react, wait for confirmation
❌ **Don't ignore context** - Check the MTF panel for conflicting trends
❌ **Don't chase** - Wait for price to come to the zone, don't enter mid-zone
## Technical Details
- **Non-repainting**: All zones are drawn on confirmed candles only
- **Performance optimized**: Uses efficient array management with per-type caps
- **Real-time updates**: Zones extend and track mitigation as price moves
- **Universal compatibility**: Works on all markets and timeframes

Smart Money Zones (FVG + OB) + MTF Trend Panel## Overview
Professional-grade institutional trading zones indicator that identifies **Fair Value Gaps (FVG)** and **Order Blocks (OB)** - key price inefficiencies where smart money operates. Includes a comprehensive **Multi-Timeframe Trend Panel** for complete market context at a glance.
## Core Features
### 🎯 Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
Fair Value Gaps occur when price moves so aggressively that it leaves an "imbalance" or "gap" in the market structure. These zones often act as magnets where price returns to find liquidity.
**Detection Logic:**
- **Bullish FVG**: When current candle's low is above the high of the candle 2 bars ago
- **Bearish FVG**: When current candle's high is below the low of the candle 2 bars ago
- Requires strong impulse candle (configurable body percentage threshold)
- Color-coded zones: Green for bullish, Red for bearish
### 📦 Order Blocks (OB)
Order Blocks represent the last opposite candle before a significant price move - the zone where institutional orders were placed before the breakout.
**Detection Logic:**
- Identifies the last bearish candle before a strong bullish breakout (Bullish OB)
- Identifies the last bullish candle before a strong bearish breakout (Bearish OB)
- Validates breakout strength using ATR multiplier (1.2x default)
- Color-coded zones: Blue for bullish, Orange for bearish
### 📊 Multi-Timeframe Trend Panel
Real-time trend analysis across **7 timeframes** displayed in an elegant dashboard:
- **1 Minute** - Ultra short-term scalping

LiquidityPulse Volume-Weighted Price Movement OverlayLiquidityPulse Volume-Weighted Price Movement Overlay (VWPM)
-This is a non-repainting indicator.
What this indicator does
This overlay is designed to make directional pressure + participation + wick rejection readable directly on price.
It combines:
Volume-Weighted directional pressure (bull vs bear pressure on the current timeframe)
Wick rejection “heat bands” (strength of upper/lower wick pressure, with optional volatility adaptation)
Lower-timeframe (LTF) trend + wick context (auto-selected or manual LTFs)
Chart markers for:
VOL = participation spike aligned with the current pressure direction
EXH = exhaustion warning when trend direction is met with strong opposite-wick pressure
This script is intended as an overlay/structure companion to the separate Volume-Weighted Price Movement (Oscillator) script (pane-based), which focuses on oscillator-style pressure/participation metrics.
Image: Overlay indicator applied to price
How to read it on the chart
1) Pressure Cloud + Candle Tint
The cloud and optional candle tint reflect the current timeframe’s pressure direction:
Green = bullish pressure dominant
Red = bearish pressure dominant
Brightness/opacity scales with pressure strength (normalized by a lookback period).
2) Wick Pressure Heat Bands
The lower band represents bullish wick pressure (lower-wick rejection/absorption).
The upper band represents bearish wick pressure (upper-wick rejection/supply).
Brighter = stronger wick pressure relative to its recent baseline.
Optional Adaptive bands to volatility uses ATR to keep band scaling more consistent across changing volatility regimes.
Image: Overlay + Oscillator working together
This chart highlights how volume participation and wick behaviour can be observed during periods of increased market interaction.
The arrows are used for visual reference only:
Red arrows indicate rising volume participation during the move.
Green arrows highlight increasing wick pressure, suggesting stronger rejection or absorption at those points.
3) VOL signal (Participation Spike)
A VOL marker appears when volume % of average exceeds your threshold and aligns with the current pressure direction.
This is a quick filter for:
“The current pressure direction is being supported by above-average participation.”
4) EXH signal (Exhaustion)
An EXH marker appears when the current trend is met with strong/extreme opposite wick pressure, e.g.:
Trend is Bullish but Bear wick becomes Strong/Extreme → possible bullish exhaustion / rejection risk
Trend is Bearish but Bull wick becomes Strong/Extreme → possible bearish exhaustion / absorption risk
Table (top-right)
You can toggle individual rows on or off in the settings. The table can display:
Trend (Chart)- Directional volume-weighted pressure on the chart timeframe (Bullish / Bearish, shown with ▲ ▼ icons)
Wick (Chart)- A real-time summary of wick pressure on the chart timeframe, reflecting how price is being rejected or absorbed within candles.
Possible states include:
Strong Bull – dominant lower-wick rejection (bullish absorption), shown with a green ▲
Strong Bear – dominant upper-wick rejection (bearish pressure), shown with a red ▼
Neutral – no meaningful wick imbalance, shown with a ●
Strong Both – elevated rejection on both sides, shown with a dual-pressure marker, often seen during volatility expansion or transitional conditions
Trend + Wick (Lower Timeframes)- Trend and wick context for two lower timeframes (auto-selected or manually chosen), allowing short-term behaviour to be viewed within the higher-timeframe structure
Core metrics- Bull Avg / Bear Avg, Bull–Bear Difference, Volume % Avg, and related participation statistics
Additional metrics- Further table rows can be enabled or disabled via the settings panel
How traders can use this indicator
Traders can use LiquidityPulse VWPM as a contextual tool to observe how price movement, volume participation, and wick behaviour interact.
Common use cases include:
Identifying periods where bullish or bearish pressure is dominant on the current timeframe
Observing wick rejection or absorption near highs/lows, especially during strong moves
Monitoring lower-timeframe trend and wick alignment within a higher-timeframe move
Noticing participation spikes (VOL) that confirm increased market involvement
Spotting exhaustion conditions (EXH) where strong opposing wick pressure appears against the prevailing trend
Image: This example highlights how the overlay can be used to monitor directional pressure on the chart timeframe while simultaneously observing trend and wick conditions from selected lower timeframes. The statistics table shows instances where lower-timeframe trend readings diverge from the chart-level pressure, alongside changes in wick behaviour. This allows traders to visually contextualise short-term shifts in participation and rejection within the broader structure.
Key settings (what they change)
Presets: Scalp / Intraday / Swing adjusts effective smoothing/normalization defaults to fit different trading speeds.
Lookback Period + Smoothing: These control how fast/slow the pressure model responds.
Lower values = faster response (more reactive/noisier)
Higher values = smoother response (slower/more stable)
Wick thresholds + Wick row mode: Strong / Extreme thresholds define when wick pressure is classified as Strong/Extreme relative to baseline.
Wick rows show can filter table wick rows to Extreme-only, Strong + Extreme, or Full.
Wick bands- Volatility Adapt: Adaptive bands to volatility (ATR-based) helps wick band height/offset remain visually consistent as volatility expands/contracts.
Adapt Strength controls how much the ATR regime affects the bands.
Visual controls: Transparency controls let you make the overlay more subtle or more prominent without changing calculations.
Why there is an Overlay and Oscillator version
This tool is intentionally split into two complementary indicators to preserve clarity and usability
Overlay version (this script): Focuses on price-level context, structure, wick pressure, lower-timeframe alignment, and event markers directly on the chart.
Oscillator companion version: Provides a dedicated pane for pressure balance, participation, and momentum acceleration metrics that benefit from oscillator-style visualisation.
Separating these views avoids overcrowding the price chart and allows each component to be interpreted more clearly in its appropriate context.
Disclaimer
This indicator is designed to visualise price–volume interaction, pressure, and wick behaviour.
It does not generate trade entries or exits signals and should be used as analytical context alongside a trader’s existing methodology and risk management only.
