Hybrid Smart Money Concepts [MarkitTick]💡This indicator provides a comprehensive technical analysis system that combines Market Structure concepts (Smart Money Concepts) with advanced Gap Analysis and a statistical Stress Model. It is designed to help traders identify trend direction, structural pivot points, potential reversal zones (Order Blocks), significant price gaps, and moments of market exhaustion.
Unlike standard ZigZag or Fractal indicators, this script integrates volume, trend maturity, and statistical volatility (Z-Score) to contextually classify price action. By overlaying these elements with a robust Market Structure engine—which identifies Change of Character (CHoCH) and Order Blocks—the tool provides a confluent view of price action.
It automates the detection of institutional footprints, allowing traders to see the structural trend, momentum drivers, and potential exhaustion points simultaneously.
● METHODOLOGY
The script operates on three distinct but complementary logic engines:
• Gap Analysis Engine
This module detects gaps between the previous high/low and the current open. It classifies them into three specific types based on volume and structural context:
Breakaway Gaps: Identified when a gap creates a breakout above a recent Pivot High or below a Pivot Low. This signals the start of a potential new trend.
Exhaustion Gaps: Identified when a gap occurs with high relative volume and meets the Trend Maturity criteria. This often signals the end of a trend.
Runaway Gaps: Standard continuation gaps that occur within a trend.
• Market Structure Engine
Swings and CHoCH: The script uses a left-and-right bar lookback to identify Pivot Highs and Lows. A Change of Character (CHoCH) is plotted when price closes beyond the most recent major pivot.
Order Blocks (OB): Upon a continuation of the trend, the script scans backward to find the extreme candle (the origin of the move) and highlights this zone as an Order Block.
Dynamic Cleanup: Gaps and Order Blocks are automatically removed (mitigated) when price aggressively crosses through their levels.
• Exhaustion & Stress Model
This statistical engine measures market "Stress" by analyzing the impact of price range relative to volume (True Range / Volume).
Calculation: It calculates a Z-Score (Standard Deviation) of this impact.
Logic: When the Z-Score exceeds a specific threshold (Sigma), it indicates a statistical anomaly or "Stress."
Signal: If high stress occurs while price is significantly above the trend baseline, it signals "Buyer Exhaustion." Conversely, high stress below the baseline signals "Seller Exhaustion."
● VISUALS & LEGEND
Before trading, you need to know what the indicator is drawing on your chart:
• Change of Character (CHoCH)
Green Dashed Line: Indicates a Bullish reversal.
Red Dashed Line: Indicates a Bearish reversal.
• Order Blocks (OB)
Green Boxes: Bullish support zones (Buy interest).
Red Boxes: Bearish resistance zones (Sell interest).
Note: Invalidated boxes are automatically deleted.
• Gaps
Blue Box (Breakaway): Strong momentum gap starting a new trend.
Orange Box (Runaway): Continuation gap.
Red Box (Exhaustion): Warning signal; trend may be ending.
• Stress Model Signals
Label "BE" (Red): Buyer Exhaustion. Suggests the bullish move is overextended relative to volume participation.
Label "SE" (Green): Seller Exhaustion. Suggests the bearish move is overextended.
● TRADING STRATEGY
You can use a "Pullback, Continuation & Exhaustion" strategy with this indicator.
• Scenario A: Long Setup (Buying)
Trend Change: Look for a CHoCH label with a Green Dashed Line.
Entry Zone: Look for a Green Order Block (OB) to form.
Confirmation: A Breakaway Gap (Blue) validates the breakout.
Entry: Enter Long when price pulls back into the Green OB.
Exit Warning: If a "BE" (Buyer Exhaustion) label appears, consider tightening stops or taking profit.
• Scenario B: Short Setup (Selling)
Trend Change: Look for a CHoCH label with a Red Dashed Line.
Entry Zone: Look for a Red Order Block (OB) to form.
Confirmation: A Breakaway Gap downwards validates the move.
Entry: Enter Short when price rallies back into the Red OB.
Exit Warning: If an "SE" (Seller Exhaustion) label appears, consider tightening stops or taking profit.

Candle 2 Closure [LuxAlgo]The Candle 2 Closure tool detects a specific reversal pattern on the chart spanning four bars. The first bar trades into a key price level. The second bar trades outside the first bar's range, but closes inside, indicating a reversal. The third bar closes outside the second bar's range, in the direction of the reversal, creating a price expansion. The fourth bar is a continuation of prices in that same direction.
This tool features key levels, equilibrium zones, and real-time alarms upon confirmation of the second and third candles of the pattern.
This specific part of the more complete Fractal model by TTrades was requested by a lot of you. We are happy to bring it to you and wish you a merry Christmas!
🔶 USAGE
This pattern is a TTrades concept: a reversal setup that is very easy to understand. It occurs when the current bar trades outside of the previous bar's range, but closes inside it. In other words, traders try to push prices outside of the previous bar's range, but fail. This is considered a reversal, meaning that traders encountered opposing forces that overwhelmed them. Thus, the expectation is that prices will trade in the new direction, changing the market bias from bullish to bearish, or vice versa.
Let's look at the example in the chart, where the four candles of this setup are marked. Note that we have selected a perfect setup, where all conditions are met.
Candle 1: This bar traded into a key price area at the top of the range, spanning several months.
Candle 2: This bar traded outside the range of Candle 1, but failed to close outside. This is the reversal.
Candle 3: The wick of this bar formed at or below the equilibrium zone of Candle 2, and it closed outside the range of Candle 2. This is the expansion.
Candle 4: At this point, the setup is complete, and the expectation for this candle is that it will trade in the same direction. The top of the candle is at or below the equilibrium zone of Candle 3. This is the continuation.
In a strong setup, the top or bottom of the next bar will form inside the equilibrium zone defined by the highlighted areas on candles 2 and 3.
This is a perfect bearish setup, featuring all elements. Not all setups will be like this, but when this setup occurs, it is important for traders to be aware of it.
The tool is highly customizable from the settings panel and features real-time alerts at candle 2 and 3 confirmations.
Now, let's take a broader view of the same chart. We have disabled the display of candle 2 and filtered the setups with a length of 50.
As we can see, most of the last 17 setups found on the EUR/USD daily chart lead to multi-day or multi-month price movements.
🔹 Filtering Reversals
The tool features a reversals filter that is disabled by default. This filter allows us to filter out minor reversals and display only those that are important.
Traders can adjust the length parameter to display reversals only at the top or bottom of the last N specified bars. We can see some examples in the chart.
🔹 Wick Threshold
From the settings panel, traders can fine-tune the equilibrium zone for candle 2.
If the wick exceeds the threshold expressed as a percentage of the total bar range, the equilibrium zone will be calculated based only on the wick. In all other cases, the full bar range will be used.
🔶 SETTINGS
Candle 2 (Reversal): Enable or disable Candle 2 reversals.
Candle 3 (Expansion): Enable or disable Candle 3 expansions.
Reversals Filter: Filter reversals as the highest or lowest of the last N bars.
Wick Threshold %: Filter wicks as percentage of total bar range.
🔹 Style
Bullish Color: Select bullish color.
Bearish Color: Select bearish color.
Transparency: Select the transparency level. 0 is solid and 100 is fully transparent.
Levels: Enable or disable the horizontal levels.
Candle 2 Zone: Enable or disable the Candle 2 equilibrium zones.
Candle 3 Zone: Enable or disable the Candle 3 equilibrium zones.
🔹 Alerts
Candle 2 Alerts: Enable or disable Candle 2 alerts.
Candle 3 Alerts: Enable or disable Candle 3 alerts.
Liquidity Sweeps [Kodexius]Liquidity Sweeps is a price action indicator built to visualize and react to common “stop run” behavior around recent swing highs and swing lows. It continuously detects pivot-based liquidity levels (recent resistance and support), extends them forward in time, and then classifies the interaction when price probes beyond a level but fails to hold through it.
The script focuses on two outcomes:
Buy-Side Liquidity Sweep (BSL): price takes liquidity above a recent swing high (high breaks above the level) but closes back at or below the level.
Sell-Side Liquidity Sweep (SSL): price takes liquidity below a recent swing low (low breaks below the level) but closes back at or above the level.
To support real trading workflows, it keeps charts readable by limiting active levels, offers clean styling options, and optionally filters sweep signals using relative volume (RVOL) so you can require participation before a sweep is considered valid.
🔹 Features
🔸 Pivot-Based Liquidity Level Detection (Swing Highs and Swing Lows)
The indicator uses a user-defined Pivot Length to identify confirmed swing points:
Pivot Highs become resistance liquidity levels (buy-side liquidity above highs).
Pivot Lows become support liquidity levels (sell-side liquidity below lows).
Each detected level is drawn as a horizontal line and automatically extended to the current bar until it is swept or broken.
🔸 Automatic Level Management (De-Cluttering)
To prevent chart overload, the script stores levels in internal arrays and enforces Maximum Active Levels:
When new levels are added and the limit is exceeded, the oldest level is removed.
This keeps only the most relevant, recent liquidity zones visible.
🔸 Clear Sweep Classification (BSL and SSL)
The sweep logic is intentionally strict and practical:
- BSL Sweep triggers when the bar’s high is above resistance but the close is back below or at resistance.
- SSL Sweep triggers when the bar’s low is below support but the close is back above or at support.
This models the “probe and reject” behavior typical of liquidity grabs.
🔸 Optional Volume Confirmation Using RVOL
When Enable Volume Filter is turned on, sweeps are only valid if the current bar’s volume is strong relative to the last 20 bars:
The script computes a 20-period volume average.
You can require volume to exceed the average by a chosen Volume Multiplier (example: 1.5 means 150% of the average).
If the filter is disabled, sweeps are evaluated purely on price conditions.
🔸 Sweep Labels and Level Highlighting
On a valid sweep:
A label is printed on the sweep bar:
- ▼ BSL for buy-side liquidity sweeps (yellow)
- ▲ SSL for sell-side liquidity sweeps (blue)
The swept level is highlighted by drawing an additional colored line over the swept range.
The script also prints the bar’s RVOL percentage near the midpoint of the swept line segment:
- BSL volume text is placed above the line midpoint
- SSL volume text is placed below the line midpoint
This makes it easy to see whether a sweep was low-effort or supported by strong participation.
🔸 Styling Controls
You can fully tailor the visual output:
Resistance and support line colors
Line style selection: Solid, Dotted, Dashed
Toggle sweep labels on or off
🔸 Alerts
The indicator exposes alert conditions for both sweep types and also fires explicit alert messages once per bar close when a sweep is confirmed:
- Buy Liquidity Sweep (BSL)
- Sell Liquidity Sweep (SSL)
🔹 Calculations
1) Pivot High / Pivot Low Detection
float ph = ta.pivothigh(high, pivotPeriodInput, pivotPeriodInput)
float pl = ta.pivotlow(low, pivotPeriodInput, pivotPeriodInput)
Interpretation:
A pivot is only confirmed after pivotPeriodInput bars have passed.
Once confirmed, the level is anchored at the pivot bar and then extended forward.
2) Creating and Storing Liquidity Levels
New Resistance (Pivot High):
if not na(ph)
line newL = line.new(bar_index , ph, bar_index, ph,
color = resistanceColorInput, width = 1, style = getLineStyle(lineStyleInput))
resistanceLevels.push(LiquidityLevel.new(ph, bar_index , newL))
if resistanceLevels.size() > maxLinesInput
(resistanceLevels.shift()).delete()
New Support (Pivot Low):
if not na(pl)
line newL = line.new(bar_index , pl, bar_index, pl,
color = supportColorInput, width = 1, style = getLineStyle(lineStyleInput))
supportLevels.push(LiquidityLevel.new(pl, bar_index , newL))
if supportLevels.size() > maxLinesInput
(supportLevels.shift()).delete()
This enforces the “Maximum Active Levels” limit by deleting the oldest stored level when the cap is exceeded.
3) Relative Volume (RVOL) and Volume Filter
float volAvg = ta.sma(volume, 20)
float volRelative = (volume / volAvg) * 100
bool isVolStrong = not useVolFilterInput or (volume > volAvg * volMultiplierInput)
volRelative expresses the sweep bar’s volume as a percentage of the last 20-bar average.
If the filter is enabled, a sweep is valid only when isVolStrong is true.
4) Sweep Conditions (Core Logic)
Buy-Side Liquidity Sweep (Resistance Sweep)
A resistance level is considered swept when price trades above it but closes back at or below it.
bool priceSwept = high > lvl.price and close <= lvl.price
bool broken = close > lvl.price
priceSwept captures the “probe and reject” behavior.
broken invalidates the level if price closes above it.
The confirmation and cleanup flow:
if priceSwept and isVolStrong
buySweepOccurred := true
if showLabelsInput
label.new(bar_index, high, "▼ BSL",
style = label.style_label_down, color = #00000000,
textcolor = C_SWEEP_BUY, size = size.small)
line.new(lvl.startBar, lvl.price, bar_index, lvl.price, color = C_SWEEP_BUY, width = 1)
int midX = math.round((lvl.startBar + bar_index) / 2)
label.new(midX, lvl.price, str.tostring(volRelative, "#") + "% VOL",
color = #00000000, textcolor = color.new(C_SWEEP_BUY, 20),
style = label.style_label_down, size = size.tiny)
resistanceLevels.remove(i).delete()
else if broken
resistanceLevels.remove(i).delete()
Sell-Side Liquidity Sweep (Support Sweep)
A support level is considered swept when price trades below it but closes back at or above it.
bool priceSwept = low < lvl.price and close >= lvl.price
bool broken = close < lvl.price
The confirmation and cleanup flow:
if priceSwept and isVolStrong
sellSweepOccurred := true
if showLabelsInput
label.new(bar_index, low, "▲ SSL",
style = label.style_label_up, color = #00000000,
textcolor = C_SWEEP_SELL, size = size.small)
line.new(lvl.startBar, lvl.price, bar_index, lvl.price, color = C_SWEEP_SELL, width = 1)
int midX = math.round((lvl.startBar + bar_index) / 2)
label.new(midX, lvl.price, str.tostring(volRelative, "#") + "% VOL",
color = #00000000, textcolor = color.new(C_SWEEP_SELL, 20),
style = label.style_label_up, size = size.tiny)
supportLevels.remove(i).delete()
else if broken
supportLevels.remove(i).delete()
5) Level Extension to Current Bar
method update(LiquidityLevel this) =>
line.set_x2(this.lineObj, bar_index)
This keeps each active liquidity level extended to the current candle until it is swept or decisively broken.
6) Alerts
alertcondition(buySweepOccurred, "Buy Liquidity Sweep", "BSL Swept!")
alertcondition(sellSweepOccurred, "Sell Liquidity Sweep", "SSL Swept!")
if buySweepOccurred
alert("Kodexius BSL Sweep: " + str.tostring(close), alert.freq_once_per_bar_close)
if sellSweepOccurred
alert("Kodexius SSL Sweep: " + str.tostring(close), alert.freq_once_per_bar_close)
Next Candle PredictorAdvanced TradingView Indicator for Precise Buy and Sell Signals
Overview:
The Predicta Futures - Next Candle Predictor is a cutting-edge TradingView indicator designed to forecast the next candle's direction in futures and cryptocurrency markets. Leveraging a multi-indicator confluence strategy, this tool provides traders with actionable long and short prediction percentages, enhanced by dynamic ADX-based thresholds and visual projection candles. Ideal for scalping, day trading, or swing trading on platforms like MEXC or Binance futures, it combines Supertrend, MACD, RSI, Stochastic, ADX, and volume analysis to deliver high-probability buy and sell signals while minimizing false positives.
Key Features:
• Multi-Indicator Confluence Scoring:
Integrates Supertrend for trend direction, EMAs (8, 21, 50) for alignment, MACD for momentum crossovers, RSI for overbought/oversold conditions, Stochastic for divergence detection, ADX for trend strength, and volume ratios for confirmation. A customizable confluence score (0-6) ensures signals meet user-defined criteria, reducing whipsaws in volatile markets.
• Dynamic Prediction Thresholds:
ADX-driven adjustments lower the required prediction percentage (e.g., 60% in strong trends) for "PERFECT TIME" entries, adapting to market conditions like ranging or trending phases.
• Visual Analysis Table:
A sleek, color-coded dashboard displays progress bars for each indicator, prediction percentages, and status (e.g., "PERFECT TIME" or "WAIT"). Supports long and short analyses with intuitive ASCII bars for quick scans.
• Projection Candles:
Simulates potential next-candle outcomes with volatility-scaled (via Bollinger Bands width) green long and red short candles, aiding in visualizing price targets.
• Buy/Sell Signals and Alerts:
Generates labeled "BUY" and "SELL" arrows on EMA crossovers within confirmed trends, with separate alerts for basic signals and high-confluence "PERFECT TIME" opportunities.
• Customizable Inputs:
Adjust ATR periods, Supertrend factors, minimum confluence scores, and volume ratios to tailor the indicator for stocks, forex, or crypto perpetual futures.
How It Works:
This TradingView script calculates long and short scores using weighted contributions from key indicators, normalizing them into prediction percentages. A confluence check—factoring trend, EMA alignment, MACD, Stochastic, volume, and ADX—triggers "PERFECT TIME" only when conditions align robustly. For example:
• In a downtrend (Supertrend red), with bearish MACD and Stochastic, and sufficient volume, the indicator highlights short opportunities.
• Dynamic thresholds ensure aggressive entries in strong trends (ADX >25) and conservative ones in weak trends.
• Backtested for reliability, it excels in identifying reversals and continuations, making it a must-have for traders seeking an edge in futures trading strategies.
Usage Instructions:
1. Add the indicator to your TradingView chart. (Search: Next Candle Predictor)
2. Customize settings via the inputs panel (e.g., set minConfluence to 5 for stricter signals).
3. Monitor the analysis table for predictions and confluence scores.
4. Act on "BUY/SELL" labels or "PERFECT TIME" alerts, combining with your risk management.
5. Enable projection candles for visual forecasting of the next bar.

NW Curved Interest ZonesThis indicator automatically scans and plots curved (non-linear) interest zones using Nadaraya-Watson kernel regression smoothing to create a dynamic, adaptive "mean" curve. It then identifies and draws the strongest parallel curved zones where price has repeatedly bounced with statistical validation – perfect for non-linear, organic trending or ranging markets.
How It Works (Technical Methodology)
Curved Mean Calculation
The core curve is generated via Nadaraya-Watson kernel regression (Gaussian weighting):
Smooths closing prices over the lookback period with user-adjustable bandwidth (default 30.0) – higher = smoother/less reactive, lower = tighter fit.
Range methods: "Lookback Bars" (default 400), "Fixed Start Date", or "Entire History".
Channel Envelope Detection
Measures maximum deviations above/below the smoothed curve across the period.
Defines full channel height and base offset for percentage-based zoning.
Stable Update & Anti-Repaint Logic
Full recalculation only after user-defined closed bars (default 50) OR on forced break (if price escapes visible zone envelope).
All data (curve points, slope for projection, levels, scores) snapshotted and frozen until next confirmed update.
Prevents flickering/live-bar repainting while allowing adaptive refresh.
Auto Mode Scanning
When enabled:
Scans channel height in % steps (default 1.0%).
Each candidate creates a thin curved zone parallel to the NW curve (thickness % of price, default 0.01%).
Counts valid "hits": Price touches zone and holds without break for user-defined bars (default 20).
Break source: "Close" (conservative) or "Wick" (sensitive).
Direction inferred from close relative to zone center.
Level Selection
Ranks by hit count, filters close clusters (min distance %), limits to max zones (default 8).
Manual mode: Directly applies user percentages (e.g., 0/50/100 for bottom/median/top).
Curved Zone Construction
Zones drawn as smooth, filled polylines (curved=true) following the kernel regression shape.
Historical section uses exact smoothed points; future projection uses last slope for realistic extension.
Optional long future extension or limited projection.
Dynamic coloring: Supply (above price), Demand (below price).
Dashboard
Table displays current price at each zone (stable during bar), % level, hit count (green when strong).
Update status with countdown or "TRIGGERED!" on force break.
How to Use
Ideal for markets with natural curvature (parabolic moves, rounded bottoms/tops, organic trends).
High hit counts: Proven curved support/resistance – expect strong reactions.
Bandwidth: Higher (50+) for major structural curves; lower (10–20) for shorter-term adaptive zones.
Hold Bars: Increase for stricter validation in noisy assets.
Force Break Update: Keeps zones relevant during strong trends/breakouts.
Supply Zones (Curved above price): Dynamic overhead resistance.
Demand Zones (Curved below price): Dynamic underlying support.
Confluence: Excellent with volume, order blocks, or divergence for entries/exits.
Manual Mode: Quickly overlay classic % (e.g., channel parallels).
Smooth, non-repainting curved zones provide superior visual alignment to real price action compared to linear channels.

Pivots MTF -WinCAlgo/// 🇬🇧
Pivots MTF -WinCAlgo is a precision-engineered Price Action tool designed to declutter your chart while providing a comprehensive view of market equilibrium points across multiple timeframes.
Unlike standard Pivot indicators that often flood the screen with too many lines or restrict you to a single timeframe, this tool consolidates Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, and Yearly central pivots into a clean, "Step-Line" visual format with an intelligent status dashboard.
It is built for traders who focus on Bias and Equilibrium rather than just S/R lines.
1. Multi-Timeframe Central Pivots (Step-Line Technology)
* Displays Daily (D), Weekly (W), Monthly (M), Quarterly (Q), and Yearly (Y) pivots simultaneously.
* Infinite History: Uses a specialized plot logic instead of limited lines, allowing you to see the pivot history as far back as data exists without gaps.
* Step-Line Visual: Levels remain flat and constant throughout their respective periods (e.g., the Daily pivot draws as a straight line from 00:00 to 23:59), creating a clear "ladder" of price levels.
2. Intelligent Status Dashboard (Auto-Sorting)
* Smart Sorting: The on-chart table automatically sorts all active pivot levels by price (Highest to Lowest). This creates an instant "Support & Resistance Ladder" regardless of the timeframe.
* Dynamic Coloring: Levels in the table light up Green (Support) if the price is above them, or Red (Resistance) if the price is below.
* Touched vs. Naked: The table tracks whether price has tested the level in the current period. "Naked" levels (untested) often act as strong magnets for price action.
3. Optional Deviations (S1 / R1)
* Includes a toggle for Deviations (S1 & R1) for each timeframe.
* Calculated using classic pivot logic based on the previous period's Close:
- R1 = (2 * Pivot) - Low
- S1 = (2 * Pivot) - High
* Deviations are drawn as dashed lines to distinguish them from the main trend bias.
4. Performance & Customization
* History Limit: Adjustable history depth for line objects to ensure maximum chart performance.
* Hybrid Design: Combines the infinite history of plot drawings with the precision of line objects.
* Visual Control: Fully customizable colors, line widths, and table position/size.
* Trend Bias: If price is holding above the Daily and Weekly central pivots, the immediate bias is Bullish.
* Targeting: Use "Naked" pivots shown in the table as high-probability take-profit targets or reversal zones.
* Confluence: Look for areas where a higher timeframe pivot (e.g., Monthly) overlaps with a lower timeframe pivot (e.g., Daily) to identify critical structural levels.

* Projection Candles: Simulates potential next-candle outcomes with volatility-scaled (via Bollinger Bands width) green long and red short candles, aiding in visualizing price targets.
Buy/Sell Signals and Alerts: Generates labeled "BUY" and "SELL" arrows on EMA crossovers within confirmed trends, with separate alerts for basic signals and high-confluence "PERFECT TIME" opportunities.
* Customizable Inputs: Adjust ATR periods, Supertrend factors, minimum confluence scores, and volume ratios to tailor the indicator for stocks, forex, or crypto perpetual futures.
How It Works:
This TradingView script calculates long and short scores using weighted contributions from key indicators, normalizing them into prediction percentages. A confluence check—factoring trend, EMA alignment, MACD, Stochastic, volume, and ADX—triggers "PERFECT TIME" only when conditions align robustly. For example:
In a downtrend (Supertrend red), with bearish MACD and Stochastic, and sufficient volume, the indicator highlights short opportunities.
Dynamic thresholds ensure aggressive entries in strong trends (ADX >25) and conservative ones in weak trends.
Backtested for reliability, it excels in identifying reversals and continuations, making it a must-have for traders seeking an edge in futures trading strategies.
Usage Instructions:
1. Add the indicator to your TradingView chart.
2. Customize settings via the inputs panel (e.g., set minConfluence to 5 for stricter signals).
3. Monitor the analysis table for predictions and confluence scores.
4. Act on "BUY/SELL" labels or "PERFECT TIME" alerts, combining with your risk management.
5. Enable projection candles for visual forecasting of the next bar.
Compatible with all timeframes, from 1-minute scalping to daily swings. Note: This is not financial advice; always verify signals with additional analysis.

Trinity Inside & 3-Candle Sweep Breakout with TargetsTrinity Intraday Inside Candle / 3-Candle Sweep + Breakout with Inside Bar Indicator
This Pine Script indicator is built specifically for **intraday trading on the 15-minute timeframe**, but can be used on any timeframes.
It identifies two closely related price action setups: the classic **Inside Candle Breakout** and the higher-probability **3-Candle Liquidity Sweep** (also called a reversal or false breakout setup). Both are filtered by Previous Day High/Low for directional bias, and the entire system is highly visual with customizable lines, labels, highlights, signals, and projected targets.
#### Core Functionality
When an **inside candle** forms (current candle’s high is below the previous candle’s high AND its low is above the previous candle’s low), the indicator activates the setup visualization. The previous candle becomes the **mother candle**, and its high and low define the consolidation range.
- **Inside Bar Highlight**: The current inside candle is filled with a solid color (default bright yellow) so you can instantly identify it on the chart.
- **Mother Candle Range Visualization**:
- A green dotted line with label “Range High - ” marks the mother candle’s high (the upside breakout level).
- A red dotted line with label “Range Low - ” marks the mother candle’s low (the downside breakout level).
These lines extend to the right, making it very clear what levels need to be broken for a valid signal.
- **Signals**:
- **Inside Candle Breakout**: Triggers when the candle after the inside bar closes decisively above the mother high (bullish) or below the mother low (bearish). Shows blue arrows for long, fuchsia arrows for short, plus clear labels (“LONG Inside Breakout” or “SHORT Inside Breakout”).
- **3-Candle Liquidity Sweep**: A more refined reversal setup. After the mother + inside, the third candle sweeps beyond the mother low (for longs) or high (for shorts) to grab liquidity, but closes back inside the mother range without breaking the opposite inside extreme. Shows large green/red triangles with labels (“LONG 3-Candle Sweep” or “SHORT 3-Candle Sweep”).
- **Directional Filter (PDH/PDL)**:
- Long signals only appear when price is above Previous Day High (PDH).
- Short signals only appear when price is below Previous Day Low (PDL).
This keeps you trading with intraday momentum rather than against it.
- **Targets**: Automatically plotted only on Inside Breakout signals (can be extended to sweeps if desired). Uses the mother candle range size multiplied by two customizable risk-reward factors:
- T1 = entry + (range × 0.56) for longs (or minus for shorts) – default partial target.
- T2 = entry + (range × 0.84) for longs (or minus for shorts) – default full target.
Shows dotted lines extending right with labels like “T1 - 208.20 (0.56) points” in blue for longs or orange for shorts.
- **Additional Elements**:
- Previous Day High/Low dashed lines with moving labels (“PDH” and “PDL”) that follow the price action.
- Optional 20-period and 50-period EMAs for trend context.
- All lines and labels clear automatically once a signal triggers to keep the chart clean.
#### How to Use It
1. Apply the indicator to a **15-minute chart** of any instrument (best on liquid stocks, indices, or futures).
2. Wait for an **inside bar** to form – you’ll see it highlighted in yellow and the green/red Range High/Low lines + labels appear.
3. Monitor for a close **above Range High** (potential long) or **below Range Low** (potential short), respecting the PDH/PDL filter.
4. If the third candle sweeps liquidity but reverses properly, you get the higher-conviction 3-candle sweep signal.
5. Enter on the close of the signal candle or a small retest.
6. Stop loss typically just beyond the swept extreme or mother range opposite side.
7. Take partial profits at T1 and let the rest run to T2 (or trail).
8. Use alerts (built-in alertconditions) for all four signal types.
#### All Settings (Customizable in TradingView Inputs)
- **Visibility toggles**: Turn on/off PDH/PDL lines, moving PDH/PDL labels, 20/50 EMAs, signals, inside breakout signals, targets, mother range lines/labels, and inside bar highlight.
- **Filters**: Toggle the PDH/PDL requirement for longs/shorts and separately for breakout signals.
- **Colors**: Every single element has its own color input – PDH/PDL lines & labels, EMAs, sweep signals (shapes & labels), inside breakout signals (shapes & labels), target lines & labels (long/short separately), mother range high/low lines & labels, and inside bar fill color.
- **Risk-Reward Multipliers**: Adjust the T1 multiplier (default 0.56) and T2 multiplier (default 0.84) to match your preferred measured-move projection.
The result is a clean, professional, all-in-one intraday tool that clearly shows consolidation, breakout levels, liquidity grabs, directional bias, and projected rewards, and helps you spot high-probability inside bar continuations or reversals quickly.
Note:
You can use this indicator with **either standard (normal) candlesticks or Heikin Ashi candles**, but **standard candles are strongly recommended** for the most accurate and reliable signals.
### Why Standard Candles Are Preferred
The entire logic of the indicator — inside candle detection, 3-candle liquidity sweep validation, breakout closes, and mother candle range measurement — is based on **actual price action** using real open, high, low, and close (OHLC) values.
- **Standard candles** show the true highs and lows where liquidity (stop-loss orders) actually sits, and where real breaks/sweeps occur.
- The setups (especially the liquidity sweep) rely on price **sweeping a prior low/high but closing back inside** — this is measured using the real candle extremes.
### What Happens with Heikin Ashi
Heikin Ashi candles are **averaged/smoothened** versions of price:
- Their highs and lows are calculated differently (not the true session extremes).
- Wicks are often shorter or artificial, and closes are averaged.
This can cause:
- False or missed inside candle detections.
- Incorrect range high/low measurements (the mother candle range won't match real price).
- Sweeps or breakouts that appear on Heikin Ashi but didn't actually happen in real price (or vice versa).
- Targets (T1/T2) projected from a distorted range size.
In short, Heikin Ashi will make the indicator **less accurate** and potentially generate misleading signals.
### Recommendation
- Use **standard candlesticks** on your 15-minute chart for this indicator.
- If you like the smoother look of Heikin Ashi for trend filtering, you can overlay it on a separate panel or use the built-in 20/50 EMAs for trend context instead.
Always backtest on your instruments and use proper risk management. This is not financial advice. Enjoy trading with it!
Quant-Action Pro: Triple Confluence EngineQuant-Action Pro: Triple Confluence Engine
Systematic Framework for Structural Price Action Analysis
Quant-Action Pro is a high-performance analytical engine designed to synchronize institutional liquidity flow with market geometry. Instead of traditional "signals," this framework identifies Structural States where three independent algorithmic layers align, providing a objective roadmap for the current price action context.
1. Core Algorithmic Matrix
The engine operates by monitoring the interaction between price and three proprietary logic layers:
A. Institutional Flow Node (SP2L) —
Logic: Monitors "Passive Liquidity Absorption" at the 20-period EMA.
Function: Identifies zones where institutional buyers/sellers are defending the trend's equilibrium. This is not a simple touch; it requires a validated "Touch-and-Hold" sequence.
B. Structural Flip Scanner (BTB) —
Logic: Detects the transition from old supply to new demand (S/R Flip).
Function: Uses a 3-phase Break-Test-Break verification to confirm that a structural breakout is backed by volume, reducing the risk of "Fake-outs."
C. Liquidity Compression Monitor (Micro Map) —
Logic: Statistical range-contraction analysis (Volatility Squeeze).
Function: Signals a High-Density State where price is coiling for an expansion move.
2. The Golden State: Triple Confluence Logic
The GOLD label represents the "Apex" of this engine. It is triggered only when the SP2L, BTB, and Micro Map layers synchronize on a single candle. In structural terms, this means:
Trend Defense (SP2L) is active.
Structural Breakout (BTB) is confirmed.
Volatility Expansion (MM) is imminent.
This Triple-Layer filtering ensures that Golden Signals only appear during periods of maximum market conviction.
3. Professional Implementation (Structural View)
MTF Trend Matrix: A built-in dashboard provides a 1H, 4H, and 1D diagnosis to ensure local setups align with the Macro Trend.
Smart Invalidation (Adaptive Trendlines): The engine draws dynamic geometry to define the current "Structural Floor/Ceiling." A decisive close beyond these lines acts as a clear Invalidation Point for the current thesis.
Mean Reversion: The system uses the 200-EMA as the primary directional filter, defining whether the market is in a "Bullish Expansion" or "Bearish Correction" state.
⚠️ Risk Disclaimer
Trading financial instruments involves significant risk. Quant-Action Pro is an educational tool designed for research and structural analysis. It does not provide financial advice. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Always use strict risk management.
Market State Intelligence [Interakktive]Market State Intelligence (MSI) is a diagnostic market-context indicator that reveals how the market is behaving — not where price "should" go.
MSI does not generate buy/sell signals. Instead, it classifies market conditions into clear behavioural regimes by continuously measuring:
- DRIVE (directional effort)
- OPPOSITION (absorption / resistance)
- STABILITY (structural persistence)
MSI is designed to answer three practical questions:
- What state is the market in right now?
- Is energy building, releasing, or decaying?
- Is participation aligned with price, or opposing it?
█ WHAT MSI DOES
MSI operates as a real-time regime classification engine that processes each closed bar through three independent measurement systems:
DRIVE — Directional Effort (0–100)
- Displacement efficiency (net progress vs total path)
- Range expansion quality (actual range vs expected ATR range)
- Body dominance (body vs candle range)
OPPOSITION — Absorption / Resistance (0–100)
- Wick pressure (rejection relative to attempt)
- Effort–result gap (high effort, low progress)
- Reversal density (counter-moves frequency)
STABILITY — Persistence (0–100)
- Condition persistence (how long conditions hold)
- Variance score (flip frequency)
- Follow-through consistency (reaction continuity)
These three forces feed a deterministic classifier with hysteresis (anti-flicker) to identify five regimes:
COMPRESSION — low drive, low opposition, higher stability (pressure building, direction unclear)
EXPANSION — high drive, low opposition (directional energy release)
TREND — medium-high drive, higher stability, low-medium opposition (healthy continuation)
DISTRIBUTION — medium drive, high opposition (effort absorbed; progress blocked)
TRANSITION — rapidly rising opposition, low stability (regime breakdown / uncertainty)
█ WHAT MSI DOES NOT DO
- No buy/sell signals, entries/exits, or performance claims
- No prediction of future direction
- No repainting: calculations use closed-bar data only
MSI is a market state layer intended to support your execution framework.
█ VISUAL SYSTEM
MSI uses a layered visual grammar designed to remain readable on live charts:
Regime Ribbon
A thin horizontal band showing the current regime via colour. Ribbon opacity reflects regime confidence (stronger confidence = more visible).
Pressure Envelope (core visual)
A soft corridor around price that expands with Drive and becomes more visible as Opposition increases. This visualises "pressure thickness" around current action (not a volatility band for entries).
Structural Memory
Faint background stains appear where regimes previously failed (e.g., expansion collapsing into absorption). These are behavioural context zones showing where market intention was rejected — not support/resistance.
Regime Change Markers (optional)
Subtle labels appear when regimes transition after confirmation. Useful for replay and education.
Effort Halo (optional)
Candle highlighting when Opposition materially exceeds Drive, indicating absorption/inefficiency.
█ HUD PANEL
The HUD displays:
- Current regime name + colour indicator
- A context gate showing whether conditions are aligned with long-bias or short-bias context (not an entry/exit system)
█ REGIME LEGEND
When enabled, displays:
- A one-line definition of the current regime
- Live Drive / Opposition / Stability values for interpretation
█ TIME-TO-DECISION METER
A visual pressure gauge that tends to fill during Compression (energy building) and drain during Expansion (energy releasing). It is a state-tracking meter, not a timing tool.
█ SETTINGS
MSI — Settings
- Preset Mode: Scalper / Swing / Position
- Analysis Mode (Minimal): ON = subtle visuals, OFF = full intensity
- Regime Ribbon, Structural Memory, HUD Panel, Time-to-Decision Meter, Effort Halo
MSI — Visual Options
- Show Regime Changes: Labels when regime transitions occur
- Show Regime Legend: Definition and live values display
- Panel Position: Move the entire panel anywhere on chart
MSI — Advanced (Tuning)
- Sensitivity (0.5–2.0)
- Smoothing (0.5–2.0)
- Memory Decay (0.5–2.0)
- Visual Intensity (Low / Medium / High)
█ PRESETS EXPLAINED
Scalper
Higher sensitivity + lower smoothing + faster memory decay. Best for 1m–15m monitoring.
Swing (default)
Balanced behaviour. Best for 15m–4H analysis.
Position
Lower sensitivity + higher smoothing + slower memory decay. Best for 4H–1D macro context.
█ STRUCTURAL MEMORY
When a regime fails (example: Expansion → Distribution), MSI creates a memory imprint:
- Fixed stain window (preset dependent)
- Strength decays over time
- Limited to a maximum number of imprints to reduce chart clutter
These zones represent behavioural rejection, not levels.
█ SUITABLE MARKETS
MSI is designed for Forex, Crypto, Indices, Stocks, and Commodities.
Works from intraday to Daily, with particularly strong readability on 15m–4H.
█ DISCLAIMER
This indicator is for educational and informational purposes only. It does not constitute financial advice, trading recommendations, or solicitation. Trading involves substantial risk. Always use proper risk management and make independent decisions.
Swing Trade System# Swing Trade Strategy - Complete Guide
## Overview
This is a comprehensive swing trading indicator for TradingView that identifies high-probability trend continuation setups using multi-timeframe analysis, pullback patterns, and momentum confirmation. The strategy combines technical indicators with risk management tools to help traders capture swing moves with defined risk-reward parameters.
## What It Does
The indicator identifies two types of signals:
1. **Base Signals** (small markers) - Initial setup detection with basic criteria met
2. **High Confidence (HC) Signals** (large markers) - Fully confirmed setups with all filters passed, including optional higher timeframe confirmation
Once a HC signal triggers, the indicator automatically plots:
- Dynamic stop loss levels (trailing, break-even, or static)
- Partial take profit (TP1) at 1R
- Final take profit (TP2) at your chosen risk-reward multiple
- Real-time R-multiple tracking
- Confluence dashboard showing all conditions
## How It Works
### Core Signal Logic
The strategy identifies pullback-to-trend entries using this sequence:
**For LONG signals:**
1. **Trend Filter**: Fast EMA (20) above Slow EMA (50) = uptrend confirmed
2. **Pullback**: Previous candle closed between the two EMAs (pulled back but didn't break structure)
3. **RSI Swing Zone**: RSI between 40-60 (not overbought/oversold, just resting)
4. **Reclaim**: Current candle crosses back above Fast EMA (momentum returning)
5. **Volume Spike** (optional): Current volume > 1.5x the 20-period average
6. **HTF Confirmation** (optional): Daily timeframe shows: price > 50 EMA, RSI > 50, and rising momentum
**For SHORT signals:**
The same logic applies in reverse (downtrend, pullback above fast EMA, reclaim below, etc.)
### Risk Management Features
**Stop Loss Placement:**
- Initial stop: Swing low/high over the last 10 bars
- Can upgrade to ATR trailing stop (2x ATR below/above price)
- Can move to break-even after reaching 1R profit
**Take Profit Levels:**
- TP1: 1R (optional partial exit point)
- TP2: 2R default (adjustable to your preference)
**Position Monitoring:**
- Live R-multiple display shows current profit/loss in risk units
- Dynamic stop updates visually on chart
- Color-coded confidence score (0-100%) based on confluence of factors
## Best Way to Use These Signals
### 1. **Wait for High Confidence Signals Only**
- Don't trade every base signal (small markers)
- Only take trades when you see the large "HC L" or "HC S" markers
- These have passed all your filters including higher timeframe alignment
### 2. **Ideal Entry Timing**
**On the Signal Candle:**
- Enter at market close when HC signal fires
- This ensures all conditions were met by candle close
- Your stop and targets are calculated from this close price
**On the Next Candle (more conservative):**
- Wait for the candle after the signal
- Enter if price continues in the signal direction
- Helps avoid false breakouts but may miss some moves
### 3. **Position Sizing**
Use the automatic risk calculation:
- Your risk = Entry price - Stop loss
- Position size = (Account Risk %) ÷ (Entry - Stop)
- Example: Risk $100 on account, Entry $50, Stop $48 = $100 ÷ $2 = 50 shares
### 4. **Trade Management**
**Scaling Out:**
- Exit 50% position at TP1 (1R) to lock profits
- Move stop to break-even on remaining position
- Let rest run to TP2 (2R) or trail with ATR stop
**Manual Override:**
- If price action deteriorates (breaks below both EMAs, RSI divergence), consider early exit
- The dynamic stop is a guide, not gospel—trust price action
## Breakout vs. Retest Strategy
### Understanding Breakout Types
**1. First Touch Breakout (Aggressive)**
- HC signal fires on first touch of fast EMA after pullback
- Higher win rate if volume is strong
- Best in strongly trending markets
- Risk: Could be a false breakout if momentum weak
**2. Retest Entry (Conservative)**
- Wait for price to pull back *again* after initial HC signal
- Enter when price retests the fast EMA a second time
- Look for: lower volume on retest, RSI still in swing zone, fast EMA still above slow EMA
- Lower risk but may miss some fast moves
### Which Breakouts to Take
**Take the FIRST breakout (signal candle) when:**
- ✅ Higher timeframe is strongly aligned (HTF confirmation on)
- ✅ Volume spike is present (>1.5x average)
- ✅ Confidence score ≥70%
- ✅ Trend is fresh (EMAs recently crossed, not extended)
- ✅ Price closed strongly above/below fast EMA (not barely crossed)
- ✅ No major resistance/support nearby
**Wait for a RETEST when:**
- ⚠️ No volume confirmation on first signal
- ⚠️ Confidence score 40-69% (moderate)
- ⚠️ Price barely crossed the fast EMA (weak momentum)
- ⚠️ Trend is extended (price far from slow EMA)
- ⚠️ Major resistance/support level just ahead
- ⚠️ Late in the trading day/week (could see pullback)
### How to Trade Retests
**Setup:**
1. HC signal fires but you decide to wait
2. Price pulls back toward fast EMA over next 1-3 candles
3. Watch for second bounce at the fast EMA
**Confirmation for Retest Entry:**
- Price holds above fast EMA (for longs) without closing below it
- Volume decreases on the pullback (profit-taking, not reversal)
- RSI stays above 50 for longs (or below 50 for shorts)
- Bullish candlestick pattern forms (hammer, engulfing, etc.)
- Slow EMA is still providing support/resistance
**Retest Entry Trigger:**
- Enter when price crosses back in signal direction with momentum
- Or enter with a limit order at the fast EMA
- Use same stop loss as original signal (swing low/high)
- Targets remain the same (measured from your new entry)
## Dashboard Reference
The top confluence table shows real-time status:
- **Trend**: Current trend direction based on EMAs
- **HTF**: Higher timeframe alignment (if enabled)
- **RSI Zone**: Whether RSI is in the 40-60 swing zone
- **Volume**: Volume spike present or not
- **Signal**: Current signal status (HC LONG/SHORT or None)
- **R Risk**: Current profit/loss in R-multiples
- **Stop**: Current stop loss price
- **TP1/TP2**: Status of take profit levels

## Alert Setup
The indicator includes 8 alert types:
1. **HC LONG/SHORT ENTRY** - Main trade signals
2. **LONG/SHORT TP1 Reached** - Partial profit alerts
3. **LONG/SHORT Final TP Reached** - Full target hit
4. **LONG/SHORT Stop Hit** - Exit alerts
Set up alerts in TradingView:
- Click "Create Alert" on the indicator
- Choose the specific alert condition
- Set to "Once Per Bar Close" to avoid false alerts
- Configure notification method (app, email, webhook, etc.)
## Recommended Settings
**For Stock Swing Trading (4H-Daily):**
- Fast EMA: 20 | Slow EMA: 50
- Swing Lookback: 10
- RSI Zone: 40-60
- HTF: Daily (if trading 4H charts)
- Risk-Reward: 2R minimum
**For Crypto (faster moves):**
- Fast EMA: 12 | Slow EMA: 26
- Swing Lookback: 7
- RSI Zone: 35-65
- Volume Spike: ON
- Risk-Reward: 1.5-2R
**For Conservative Trading:**
- Enable HTF Confirmation
- Enable Volume Spike requirement
- Use Break-even stop (move after 1R)
- Only trade when Confidence ≥70%
- Wait for retests on marginal setups
## Risk Warning
This indicator is a tool, not a guarantee. Always:
- Use proper position sizing (risk 1-2% per trade)
- Respect the stop losses
- Consider market context (news, earnings, major levels)
- Backtest on your instruments before live trading
- Never override risk management for FOMO
The best signals combine technical confluence with good market conditions and disciplined execution.
Volatility Squeeze Pro [JOAT]
Volatility Squeeze Pro — Advanced Volatility Compression Analysis System
This indicator addresses a specific analytical challenge in volatility analysis: how to identify periods when different volatility measurements show compression relationships that may indicate potential energy buildup in the market. It combines two distinct volatility calculation methods—standard deviation-based bands and ATR-based channels—with a momentum oscillator to provide comprehensive volatility state analysis.
Why This Combination Provides Unique Analytical Value
Traditional volatility indicators typically focus on single measurements, but markets exhibit different types of volatility that require different analytical approaches:
1. **Closing Price Volatility** (Standard Deviation): Measures how much closing prices deviate from their average
2. **Trading Range Volatility** (ATR): Measures the actual high-to-low trading ranges
3. **Directional Momentum**: Measures where price sits within its recent range
The problem with using these individually:
- Standard deviation alone doesn't account for intraday volatility
- ATR alone doesn't consider closing price clustering
- Momentum alone doesn't provide volatility context
- No single measurement captures the complete volatility picture
This indicator's originality lies in creating a comprehensive volatility analysis system that:
**Identifies Volatility Compression**: When closing price volatility contracts inside trading range volatility, it suggests potential energy buildup
**Provides Momentum Context**: Shows directional bias during compression periods
**Offers Multi-Dimensional Analysis**: Combines three different analytical approaches into one coherent system
**Delivers Real-Time Assessment**: Continuously monitors the relationship between different volatility types
Technical Innovation and Originality
While individual components (Bollinger Bands, Keltner Channels, Linear Regression) are standard, the innovation lies in:
1. **Volatility Relationship Detection**: The mathematical comparison between standard deviation bands and ATR channels creates a unique compression identification system
2. **Integrated Momentum Analysis**: Linear regression-based momentum calculation provides directional context specifically during volatility compression periods
3. **Multi-State Visualization**: The indicator provides clear visual encoding of different volatility states (compressed vs. normal) with momentum direction
4. **Adaptive Threshold System**: The squeeze detection automatically adapts to different instruments and timeframes without manual calibration
How the Components Work Together Analytically
The three components create a comprehensive volatility analysis framework:
**Standard Deviation Component**: Measures closing price dispersion around the mean
float bbBasis = ta.sma(close, bbLength)
float bbDev = bbMult * ta.stdev(close, bbLength)
float bbUpper = bbBasis + bbDev
float bbLower = bbBasis - bbDev
**ATR Channel Component**: Measures actual trading range volatility
float kcBasis = ta.ema(close, kcLength)
float kcRange = ta.atr(atrLength)
float kcUpper = kcBasis + kcRange * kcMult
float kcLower = kcBasis - kcRange * kcMult
**Squeeze Detection Logic**: Identifies when closing price volatility compresses within trading range volatility
bool squeezeOn = bbLower > kcLower and bbUpper < kcUpper
// This condition indicates closing prices are clustering more tightly
// than the typical trading range would suggest
**Momentum Context Component**: Provides directional bias during compression
float highestHigh = ta.highest(high, momLength)
float lowestLow = ta.lowest(low, momLength)
float momentum = ta.linreg(close - math.avg(highestHigh, lowestLow), momLength, 0)
float momSmooth = ta.sma(momentum, smoothLength)
The analytical relationship creates a system where:
- Squeeze detection identifies WHEN volatility compression occurs
- Momentum analysis shows WHERE price is positioned during compression
- Combined analysis provides both timing and directional context
How the Volatility Comparison Works
The indicator compares two volatility measurements:
Standard Deviation Bands
These measure how much closing prices deviate from their average. When prices cluster tightly around the average, the bands contract.
// Standard deviation bands calculation
float bbBasis = ta.sma(close, bbLength)
float bbDev = bbMult * ta.stdev(close, bbLength)
float bbUpper = bbBasis + bbDev
float bbLower = bbBasis - bbDev
ATR-Based Channels
These measure volatility using Average True Range—the typical distance between high and low prices. They respond to the actual trading range rather than closing price dispersion.
// ATR-based channels calculation
float kcBasis = ta.ema(close, kcLength)
float kcRange = ta.atr(atrLength)
float kcUpper = kcBasis + kcRange * kcMult
float kcLower = kcBasis - kcRange * kcMult
The Squeeze Condition
A "squeeze" is detected when the standard deviation bands are completely contained within the ATR channels:
// Squeeze detection
bool squeezeOn = bbLower > kcLower and bbUpper < kcUpper
This condition indicates that closing price volatility has compressed relative to the overall trading range.
The Momentum Component
The momentum oscillator measures where price sits relative to its recent high-low range, using linear regression for smoothing:
// Momentum calculation
float highestHigh = ta.highest(high, momLength)
float lowestLow = ta.lowest(low, momLength)
float momentum = ta.linreg(close - math.avg(highestHigh, lowestLow), momLength, 0)
float momSmooth = ta.sma(momentum, smoothLength)
Positive values indicate price is above the midpoint of its recent range; negative values indicate below.
Why Display Both Together
The squeeze detection shows WHEN volatility is compressed. The momentum reading shows the current directional bias of price within that compression. Together, they provide two pieces of information:
1. Is volatility currently compressed? (squeeze status)
2. Where is price leaning within the current range? (momentum)
These are observations about current conditions, not predictions about future movement.

Important Limitations and Realistic Expectations
Volatility compression detection is a mathematical relationship between calculations—it does not predict future price movements
Many compression periods do not result in significant price expansion or directional moves
Momentum direction during compression does not reliably indicate future breakout direction
This indicator analyzes current and historical volatility conditions only—it cannot predict future volatility
False signals are common—not every squeeze leads to tradeable price movement
Different parameter settings will produce different compression detection sensitivity
Market conditions, news events, and fundamental factors often override technical volatility patterns
No volatility indicator can predict the timing, direction, or magnitude of future price movements
This tool should be used as one component of comprehensive market analysis
Appropriate Use Cases
This indicator is designed for:
- Volatility state analysis and monitoring
- Educational study of volatility relationships
- Multi-dimensional volatility assessment
- Supplementary analysis alongside other technical tools
- Understanding market compression/expansion cycles
This indicator is NOT designed for:
- Standalone trading signal generation
- Guaranteed breakout prediction
- Automated trading system triggers
- Market timing precision
- Replacement of fundamental analysis
Understanding Volatility Analysis Limitations
Volatility analysis, while useful for understanding market conditions, has inherent limitations:
- Past volatility patterns do not guarantee future patterns
- Compression periods can extend much longer than expected
- Expansion periods may be brief and insufficient for trading
- External factors (news, fundamentals) often override technical patterns
- Different markets and timeframes exhibit different volatility characteristics

## Understanding the Levels
**Pivot Point (P)** - Yellow line, central reference point
- Price above = bullish bias
- Price below = bearish bias
**Support Levels (S1, S2, S3)** - Green "BUY" labels
- Demand zones where price may bounce up
- Use as long entry targets or short exit points
- S1 strongest, S3 weakest
**Resistance Levels (R1, R2, R3)** - Red "SELL" labels
- Supply zones where price may reverse down
- Use as short entry targets or long exit points
- R1 strongest, R3 weakest
## How to Use
**For Longs:**
- Buy near green support levels
- Target red resistance levels or pivot
- Stop loss below the support level
**For Shorts:**
- Sell near red resistance levels
- Target green support levels or pivot
- Stop loss above the resistance level
**For Ranging Markets:**
- Buy support, sell resistance
- Use pivot as mid-range guide
## Settings
**Display:** Toggle pivot point, support, or resistance on/off
**Line Extension:** Adjust how far lines project forward (default: 50 bars)
**Colors:** Customize pivot (yellow), support (green), resistance (red)
**Style:** Change line width (1-5) and style (solid/dashed/dotted)
## Tips
- Works on any timeframe but best on 15min-4H charts
- R1/S1 are typically the strongest levels
- Always use with price action confirmation and stop losses
- Levels update every 4 hours based on previous 4H candle
- Combine with volume and other indicators for best results
## Quick Strategy
1. Identify the trend (above/below pivot)
2. Wait for price to approach a level
3. Look for confirmation (candlestick pattern, volume)
4. Enter with stop beyond the level
5. Target next level or pivot point

## What This Indicator Does
This indicator combines two powerful concepts to identify complete market cycles:
### 1. Squeeze Momentum (LazyBear)
Detects **volatility compression** (consolidation) and subsequent **expansion** (breakout).
**Think of it like:** A spring being compressed, then released.
### 2. Multi-Timeframe Trend Exhaustion
Measures how far price has moved from its moving averages across multiple timeframes.
**Think of it like:** A rubber band being stretched—eventually it must snap back.
### The Complete Cycle
```
Consolidation → Breakout → Trend → Exhaustion → Reversion → Consolidation
```
This indicator shows you exactly where you are in this cycle.

## Visual Components
### Main Panel (Bottom)
| Element | What It Looks Like | Meaning |
|---------|-------------------|---------|
| **Colored Bars** | Green/Red histogram | Momentum strength and direction |
| **Filled Area** | Yellow/Lime/Red gradient area | Price extension from moving averages |
| **Cross at Zero** | Black/Gray/Blue cross | Squeeze state (volatility) |
| **Dashed Lines** | Horizontal red/green lines | Extension thresholds (±2σ scaled) |
---
### 1. Momentum Histogram (Colored Bars)
| Color | Direction | Meaning |
|-------|-----------|---------|
| **Bright Green** (Lime) | Up ↑ | Strong bullish momentum (increasing) |
| **Dark Green** | Up ↑ | Weak bullish momentum (decreasing) |
| **Bright Red** | Down ↓ | Strong bearish momentum (increasing) |
| **Dark Red** (Maroon) | Down ↓ | Weak bearish momentum (decreasing) |
**Key insight:** When bars change from bright to dark, momentum is fading.
---
### 2. Extension Area (Filled Gradient)
Shows how extended price is from its moving averages across 5 timeframes (5m, 15m, 1h, 4h, Daily).
| Color | Position | Meaning |
|-------|----------|---------|
| **Red** | High above zero | Severely overbought (>2σ scaled) |
| **Orange/Yellow** | Above zero | Moderately overbought |
| **Lime/Green** | Below zero | Moderately oversold |
| **Teal** | Deep below zero | Severely oversold (<-2σ scaled) |
**The area is scaled 3x** for better visibility. Actual values shown in table.
**Reading it:**
- **Area touching upper dashed line** = Price very far above averages (exhaustion territory)
- **Area touching lower dashed line** = Price very far below averages (exhaustion territory)
- **Area near zero** = Price near its averages (normal/neutral)
---
### 3. Squeeze Indicator (Cross at Zero Line)
| Color | Status | Meaning |
|-------|--------|---------|
| **Black** ⚫ | Squeeze ON | Bollinger Bands inside Keltner Channels → Low volatility, consolidation |
| **Gray** ⚪ | Squeeze OFF | Bollinger Bands outside Keltner Channels → Volatility expanding, breakout |
| **Blue** 🔵 | No Squeeze | Normal volatility conditions |
**Critical:** The transition from Black → Gray is where explosive moves begin.

## How to Read Signals
### Perfect Long Entry (High Confidence ⭐)
**Requirements (all must be true):**
1. ⚫→⚪ Squeeze just turned OFF (gray cross)
2. 📊 Momentum bars bright GREEN and rising
3. 🔻 Extension area BELOW lower dashed line (oversold)
4. ⭐ Confluence: 3/5 or more timeframes agree (shown as "🔻" in table)
**Visual:** Large green triangle appears
**What this means:** Price was oversold across multiple timeframes, consolidated, and is now breaking out upward with fresh momentum.
**Entry:** Next candle after signal
**Stop Loss:** Below recent consolidation low
**Take Profit:** When extension area crosses back above zero, or when exit signal appears
---
### Perfect Short Entry (High Confidence ⭐)
**Requirements (all must be true):**
1. ⚫→⚪ Squeeze just turned OFF (gray cross)
2. 📊 Momentum bars bright RED and falling
3. 🔺 Extension area ABOVE upper dashed line (overbought)
4. ⭐ Confluence: 3/5 or more timeframes agree (shown as "🔺" in table)
**Visual:** Large red triangle appears
**What this means:** Price was overbought across multiple timeframes, consolidated, and is now breaking down with fresh momentum.
**Entry:** Next candle after signal
**Stop Loss:** Above recent consolidation high
**Take Profit:** When extension area crosses back below zero, or when exit signal appears
---
### Exit Signals
#### Exit Long (Orange X)
**Appears when:**
- Extension area reaches upper dashed line (>2σ)
- Momentum bars turning from bright green to dark green
- Price losing upward velocity
**Action:** Close 50-100% of position. Move stop to breakeven on remainder.
#### Exit Short (Teal X)
**Appears when:**

- Price losing downward velocity
**Action:** Close 50-100% of position. Move stop to breakeven on remainder.
---
### Medium Confidence Signals (Small Triangles)
These appear when squeeze is OFF and momentum is directional, but:
- Extension is only moderate (not extreme), OR
- Confluence is weak (<3/5 timeframes)
**How to trade:**
- Use smaller position size (50% of normal)
- Tighter stops
- Only take if other factors align (support/resistance, volume, etc.)
---
## Trading Examples
### Example 1: Classic Squeeze Play into Trend
```
Step 1: CONSOLIDATION (💤)
Chart: Price moving sideways for 10-20 candles
Indicator: Black cross at zero (Squeeze ON)
Extension: Yellow/Lime area near zero line
Action: Set alert for Squeeze OFF
Step 2: BREAKOUT (⚡)
Chart: Strong green candle breaks resistance
Indicator: Cross turns GRAY (Squeeze OFF)
Bright GREEN momentum bars appear
Extension area still near zero or slightly below
Signal: Large green triangle appears
Action: ENTER LONG
Stop loss below consolidation
Target: Extension upper line
Step 3: TRENDING (↗️)
Chart: Series of higher highs and higher lows
Indicator: Momentum bars stay bright green
Extension area rising toward upper line
Area color transitions yellow → orange → red
Action: HOLD, trailing stop
Step 4: EXHAUSTION (🔴)
Chart: Price makes new high but with smaller candle
Indicator: Extension area touches upper dashed line
Momentum bars turn DARK green (weakening)
Orange X appears
Table shows "EXHAUSTION BULL"
Action: EXIT position
Book profits
Step 5: REVERSION
Chart: Price falls back toward moving averages
Indicator: Extension area shrinks back toward zero
Red momentum bars appear
Action: Wait for next setup
```
**Result:** Caught the entire trend from breakout to exhaustion.
---
### Example 2: Failed Breakout (What NOT to Trade)
```
Situation:
- Squeeze OFF (gray cross) ✓
- Momentum bars bright green ✓
- BUT extension area ABOVE upper line (already overbought) ✗
- Confluence shows 1/5 (only one timeframe agrees) ✗
Indicator: Small green triangle (medium confidence) or no triangle
What happens: Price makes small move up, then reverses
Lesson: Don't chase extended moves even if squeeze fires.
Wait for price to be on the RIGHT SIDE of the extension lines.
```

### Understanding the Table
Located in top-right corner:
| Row | Meaning |
|-----|---------|
| **Market State** | Current cycle phase (Consolidation/Breakout/Trending/Exhaustion) |
| **Squeeze** | 🔴 ON / 🟢 OFF / 🔵 No |
| **Momentum** | ↑ Bull / ↓ Bear / ~ Weak / — Neutral |
| **Extension** | Actual value in standard deviations (σ) - NOT scaled |
| **Confluence** | How many timeframes agree (X/5 🔺 or 🔻) |
| **Velocity** | Speed of extension change (↑ increasing, ↓ decreasing) |
| **ACTION** | What to do right now |
**Most important rows:**
1. **Market State** - Quick glance at current cycle
2. **Confluence** - Determines signal quality
3. **ACTION** - Direct guidance
---
## Best Practices
### ✅ DO
1. **Wait for High Confidence signals** (large triangles)
- Don't trade every small signal
- Quality over quantity
2. **Use the complete cycle**
- Enter on Breakout (⚡)
- Hold through Trending (↗️/↘️)
- Exit on Exhaustion (🔴/🟢)
3. **Respect confluence**
- 4/5 or 5/5 = Excellent probability
- 3/5 = Good probability
- 1-2/5 = Skip
4. **Combine with price action**
- Support/resistance levels
- Volume confirmation
- Candlestick patterns
5. **Set alerts**
- "Squeeze OFF" - Don't miss breakouts
- "HC Long Setup" / "HC Short Setup"
- "Exit Long" / "Exit Short"
6. **Scale positions**
- Enter 50% on signal
- Add 25% if extension confirms
- Add final 25% if momentum sustains
7. **Use proper risk management**
- Stop loss: Below/above consolidation
- Position size: 1-2% account risk
- Take profit: Extension targets or signals
---
### ❌ DON'T
1. **Don't trade Consolidation state**
- Black cross (Squeeze ON) = Wait mode
- No signals during consolidation
2. **Don't chase Extended moves**
- If extension already >2σ when Squeeze fires
- Even if momentum looks good
- Wait for reversion first
3. **Don't fight strong trends**
- If extension is growing and momentum strong
- Don't counter-trend trade
- Wait for exhaustion signals
4. **Don't ignore velocity**
- If velocity is ↑ and extension high = still dangerous
- If velocity is ↓ and extension high = safer reversal
5. **Don't trade low confluence**
- 1/5 or 2/5 = Different timeframes disagree
- High chance of false signal
6. **Don't use blindly**
- Check overall market context
- Major news events can override signals
- Trend on higher timeframe matters
7. **Don't overtrade**
- Good setups are rare (that's why they work)
- Wait for complete setup formation
---
## Quick Reference Card
### Signal Quality Checklist
**⭐⭐⭐ PERFECT SETUP (Trade this)**
- Squeeze just turned OFF (⚫→⚪)
- Momentum bright and directional
- Extension >2σ (OPPOSITE direction of entry)
- Confluence ≥3/5
- Large triangle signal
- Action says "LONG/SHORT ENTRY ⭐"
**⭐⭐ GOOD SETUP (Trade with caution)**
- Squeeze OFF
- Momentum directional
- Extension moderate
- Confluence ≥3/5
- Small triangle or Action confirms
**⭐ WEAK SETUP (Skip)**
- Low confluence (<3/5)
- Extension same direction as entry
- Momentum weak or conflicting
- Already in Extended/Exhaustion state
---
### State → Action Quick Guide
| See This State | Do This |
|---------------|---------|
| 💤 CONSOLIDATION | Wait, set alerts |
| ⚡ BREAKOUT | Enter in direction |
| ↗️/↘️ TRENDING | Hold positions |
| ⚠️ EXTENDED | Tighten stops, no new entries |
| 🔴/🟢 EXHAUSTION | Exit, consider reversal |
| — NEUTRAL | No trade |
---
## Troubleshooting
**Q: Indicator shows Exhaustion but price keeps going**
**A:** Check velocity and momentum. If still bright bars + velocity ↑, wait. True exhaustion needs momentum weakening.
**Q: Too many false signals**
**A:** Increase Min Confluence to 4/5. Use longer timeframe chart (4h instead of 1h).
**Q: Missing good trades**
**A:** Set alerts for "Squeeze OFF" and "HC Entry" signals. You can't watch charts 24/7.
**Q: Extension area looks weird**
**A:** Remember it's scaled 3x for visibility. Check table for actual values.
**Q: Which timeframe is best?**
**A:** 4H for swing trading, 1H for day trading. Lower = more signals but more noise.
**Q: Can I use this with other indicators?**
**A:** Yes! Combine with:
- Volume profile
- Support/resistance levels
- Moving averages on chart
- RSI for additional confirmation
---
## Final Thoughts
This indicator gives you a complete picture of market structure:
- **Where are we?** (Market State)
- **Where are we going?** (Momentum)
- **How far can it go?** (Extension)
- **When will it reverse?** (Exhaustion)
The key is **patience**. Wait for the complete setup:
1. Consolidation (⚫ Squeeze ON)
2. Breakout (⚪ Squeeze OFF)
3. Right extension direction (oversold for longs, overbought for shorts)
4. Strong confluence (3/5+)
When all pieces align, you get high-probability trades with clear entries, targets, and exits.
**Trade the cycle, not every wiggle.**

**Good trading! 📈**
Market Acceptance Envelope [Interakktive]The Market Acceptance Envelope (MAE) is a diagnostic tool that shows where price statistically belongs — not where it might go. Unlike traditional bands that expand with volatility, MAE expands with acceptance: regions where price rotates comfortably, efficiency drops, and the market agrees on fair value.
This is the anti-Bollinger thesis: bands should represent where price IS accepted, not where it MIGHT reach based on standard deviation.
█ USAGE
The filled corridor represents the current acceptance zone — where price has demonstrated rotational behavior with low directional efficiency. When price is inside the corridor, it's "home." When outside, it's exploring territory the market hasn't yet accepted.
For discretionary traders, MAE provides instant context: "Is price where it belongs, or is it extended?"
For systematic traders, the exported values (confidence, asymmetry, position) can inform position sizing and filter logic.
█ ACCEPTANCE CENTROID
Unlike traditional bands centered on a moving average, MAE uses an Acceptance Centroid — a time-weighted price level where acceptance behavior concentrates. The centroid is calculated by weighting price by:
• Inverse efficiency (low efficiency = high acceptance)
• Volatility stability (stable vol = higher weight)
• Dwell factor (time spent near level)
This means the centroid drifts toward where price actually rotates, not simply where it averages.
█ ASYMMETRIC BOUNDARIES
MAE calculates upper and lower boundaries independently. Markets rarely treat up and down equally — during uptrends, the upper boundary may be wider (more accepted upside exploration), while the lower boundary stays tight (quick rejection of dips).
This asymmetry is visible on the chart and exported as a metric (-1 to +1).
█ CONFIDENCE-BASED VISIBILITY
The corridor's opacity reflects acceptance confidence:
• High confidence → clearly visible corridor (price is in accepted rotation)
• Low confidence → faded corridor (trending/directional market, acceptance not established)
When the corridor fades, it's telling you: "Acceptance hasn't been earned here yet."
█ WHAT THIS INDICATOR IS
• A diagnostic acceptance envelope showing where price statistically belongs
• Asymmetric by design — upper and lower calculated independently
• Confidence-weighted visibility — fades when acceptance is not earned
• Non-repainting — uses closed-bar data only
█ WHAT THIS INDICATOR IS NOT
• NOT Bollinger Bands (no standard deviation around a mean)
• NOT Keltner Channels (no ATR-scaled envelope)
• NOT a signal generator — no touches = signals philosophy
• NO arrows, NO entries/exits, NO buy/sell recommendations
█ HOW IT WORKS
MAE uses an acceptance-weighted calculation approach:
1. ACCEPTANCE WEIGHT
Each bar receives a weight based on:
• Efficiency: (1 - efficiency) — low efficiency = rotational = high acceptance
• Volatility Stability: stable vol environment = higher weight
• Dwell Factor: price staying near central tendency = higher weight
2. ACCEPTANCE CENTROID
Weighted average of price using acceptance weights:
centroid = Σ(price × weight) / Σ(weight)
Smoothed adaptively — faster during drift, slower when stable.
3. ASYMMETRIC BOUNDARIES
Upper and lower distances calculated separately:
• rngUp = acceptance-weighted average of (price - centroid) when price > centroid
• rngDn = acceptance-weighted average of (centroid - price) when price < centroid
4. CONFIDENCE SCORE
Composite of average acceptance weight, volatility stability, and centroid stability.
Maps to corridor opacity: high confidence = visible, low confidence = faded.
█ SETTINGS
Market Acceptance Envelope — Core
• Acceptance Lookback (20): Bars to evaluate for acceptance conditions. Higher = smoother, slower response.
• Preset (Swing): Scalper = tight/fast, Swing = balanced, Position = wide/stable.
• Envelope Sensitivity (1.0): Width multiplier. Higher = wider corridor.
Market Acceptance Envelope — Visuals
• Show Corridor (true): Display the acceptance corridor.
• Show Centroid (false): Display the acceptance centroid line.
Market Acceptance Envelope — Data Window
• Show Data Window Values (false): Export MAE metrics for external use.
█ EXPORTED VALUES
When Data Window is enabled:
• mae_upper: Upper boundary value
• mae_lower: Lower boundary value
• mae_centroid: Acceptance centroid value
• mae_width: Corridor width (upper - lower)
• mae_asymmetry: Asymmetry ratio (-1 to +1, negative = lower wider)
• mae_confidence: Acceptance confidence (0-100)
• mae_position: Price position (-1 = below, 0 = inside, +1 = above)
█ SUITABLE MARKETS
Works on all markets: Stocks, Futures, Forex, Crypto, Indices.
Works on all timeframes. Higher timeframes show more stable acceptance zones.

Advanced Power Index (GGE)# Advanced Power Index (GGE)
## Overview
The Advanced Power Index is a momentum oscillator that provides faster and more responsive signals compared to traditional RSI indicators. It uses direct summation calculations instead of exponential smoothing, making it particularly effective for short to medium-term trading.
## Key Features
- **Faster Response**: Reacts more quickly to price changes than standard RSI
- **Clearer Signals**: Provides sharper, more defined momentum shifts
- **Customizable Levels**: Overbought (68) and Oversold (32) zones
- **Visual Alerts**: Color-coded plot and background highlighting for critical zones
- **Adaptive**: Works well in both trending and ranging markets
## How It Works
The indicator calculates the ratio between positive and negative price changes over a specified period, converting this into a 0-100 scale oscillator. Unlike traditional RSI which uses Wilder's smoothing method, this approach delivers more immediate signals for momentum changes.
## Trading Applications
### 1. Overbought/Oversold Strategy
- **Oversold (< 32)**: Potential buying opportunity when indicator rises back above 32
- **Overbought (> 68)**: Potential selling opportunity when indicator falls back below 68
### 2. Midline Crossovers
- **Above 50**: Bullish momentum, consider long positions
- **Below 50**: Bearish momentum, consider short positions
### 3. Divergence Trading
- **Bullish Divergence**: Price makes lower lows while indicator makes higher lows
- **Bearish Divergence**: Price makes higher highs while indicator makes lower highs
### 4. Trend Following
- In uptrends: Use pullbacks to the 50 level as entry points
- In downtrends: Use rallies to the 50 level as exit/short points
## Color Coding
- **Green**: Strong bullish momentum (> 68)
- **Red**: Strong bearish momentum (< 32)
- **Yellow**: Neutral zone (32-68)
## Settings
- **Period**: Default 14, adjustable based on your trading timeframe
- **Price Type**: Close, Open, High, Low, or custom source
- **Highlight Zones**: Toggle background highlighting for critical levels
## Best Timeframes
- Most effective on 5-minute to 4-hour charts
- Ideal for day trading and scalping strategies
- Can be combined with trend indicators for confirmation
## Tips for Use
- Don't use in isolation - combine with volume, support/resistance levels
- Works best in liquid, actively traded markets
- Consider using alongside moving averages or MACD
- Always implement proper risk management and stop-losses
## Advantages Over Standard RSI
✓ Faster signal generation
✓ Less lag in volatile markets
✓ Better suited for short-term trading
✓ Clearer momentum shifts
✓ More responsive to sudden price changes

ProphetQuant LevelsProphetQuant Levels
ProphetQuant Levels is an open-source chart tool that helps you display your own price levels in a clean, organized way.
You enter levels directly into the script using simple level names and prices (for example: HV 415.00, B+ 432.10, B- 421.00, VAH/VAL, VIX R1/R2/S1/S2). The script reads your input and plots each level as a horizontal line with optional right-side labels and styling controls. Levels are plotted from the Globex session start by default, so they align consistently across sessions.
You can enter a single set of levels, or include multiple lines labeled by symbol. When multiple lines are present, the script automatically uses the line that matches the current chart symbol.
The indicator also includes an Initial Balance (IB) display with automatic session selection based on the instrument, along with optional labels and a midline.
This script is intended as a visual reference tool only. It does not calculate price levels, generate trade signals, or automate trading decisions.
Provided for educational and informational purposes only. This is not financial or trading advice.
Session Levels (3of3)This system is designed to strip away market noise and highlight the areas where institutional capital is actually active.
Most retail traders fail because they treat every price movement with equal importance. They often enter trades in the "middle of nowhere" or get trapped by "fakeouts" at standard support/resistance levels.
This tool solves:
Context Blindness: It defines the "playing field" by marking institutional session boundaries (Asia, London, NY), so you know exactly where liquidity resides.
Computation Lag: Standard Volume Profiles often slow down a chart. Our Optimized VPC provides the "Magnet" price without the lag.
Indecision: By requiring a Market Structure Shift (MSS) alongside a Fair Value Gap (FVG), it removes the guesswork of "Is this a reversal or a continuation?"
Why It Is Unique:
Unlike standard indicators that look at a single data point (like just price or just volume), this is a Holistic System.
Auto-Mitigation: Most FVG indicators clutter your screen with old boxes. This tool automatically deletes zones once price "fills" them, keeping your focus on live opportunities.
Institutional "Sweep" Logic: It specifically tracks if price has "stolen" the liquidity from a previous session before issuing a signal.
The "Vegas" Filter: It uses the 144 EMA (Vegas Floor) as a high-probability institutional trend filter, ensuring you aren't fighting the primary trend.
When testing this, track one specific stat: "Did price hit the VPC after the MSS?" You will likely find that even when the trade doesn't reach the far PRZ targets, it reaches the VPC Magnet over 70% of the time. Focusing on that "snap-back" to the orange line is the secret to a high win rate with this tool.
Intraday Sentiment DynamicsThe purpose of this script is to create a structured model of intraday sentiment by analyzing how price behaves relative to VWAP. Instead of treating VWAP deviation as a simple overbought or oversold measure, the script aims to understand the dynamics behind that deviation — how quickly sentiment is shifting, whether that shift is strengthening or weakening, and when abrupt changes in behaviour occur. Its goal is to provide a standardized, volatility‑adjusted framework that helps traders identify trend continuation, trend exhaustion, mean‑reversion setups, and early regime shifts.
To achieve this, the script begins by calculating the difference between the bar’s midpoint and VWAP. This raw deviation is then standardized using a rolling mean and standard deviation, producing a z‑score that expresses how far price is from VWAP in statistical terms. Standardization removes volatility bias, session drift, and asset‑specific scaling issues, making the signal comparable across different market conditions. A weighted moving average smooths this standardized deviation to reduce noise and prepare it for slope‑based analysis.
The core of the script is a slope‑normalization mechanism that measures how the standardized VWAP deviation changes over time. For each bar, the script computes the slope over a user‑defined length, separates positive and negative slope events, and maintains these in arrays that track their recent behaviour. From these arrays, it calculates average magnitudes and standard deviations, allowing it to normalize the current slope into a consistent, volatility‑adjusted scale. This ensures that both small and extreme slope events are interpreted meaningfully.
This normalization function is applied recursively to generate three higher‑order derivatives. The first derivative, velocity, represents the rate at which sentiment is moving toward or away from VWAP. The second derivative, acceleration, measures whether this movement is strengthening or weakening. The third derivative, jerk, captures sudden changes in acceleration and serves as an early indicator of shifts in market behaviour. Together, these derivatives form a multi‑layered behavioural model that reveals the internal structure of intraday sentiment.
The script visualizes these components using distinct color families and filled regions that highlight positive and negative behaviour. Background shading reinforces the dominant direction of each derivative, making it easy to see when sentiment is building, fading, or reversing. The standardized VWAP deviation is plotted alongside these derivatives, and horizontal lines at ±1, ±2, and ±3 standard deviations provide a statistical frame of reference for identifying extreme conditions.
In practical trading terms, the indicator helps identify strong continuation environments when velocity, acceleration, and jerk align in the same direction. It highlights early signs of trend exhaustion when jerk flips before acceleration, often preceding reversals. It supports mean‑reversion trades when VWAP deviation reaches extreme levels and the derivative chain begins to weaken. It also detects regime shifts when jerk spikes, helping traders avoid traps during sudden liquidity events or fake breakouts. By converting VWAP deviation into a structured, derivative‑based model, the script provides a clear and actionable view of intraday sentiment dynamics.
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.

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.
