SMC Strategy: Ultimate Combo + DR + GOLD [All-in-One]Этот индикатор представляет собой комплексный инструмент для торговли по концепциям Smart Money (SMC) и Price Action. Он объединяет в себе логику Dealing Range (DR), продвинутые паттерны входа (OB, Breaker, Combo) и фильтрацию трендов.
Основная цель скрипта — находить высоковероятные сетапы на разворот или продолжение тренда, фильтруя шум с помощью мульти-таймфрейм анализа и объемных фильтров.
### 💎 Основные функции и логика работы:
**1. Dealing Range (DR) & Premium/Discount**
Индикатор автоматически строит дневной (или настраиваемый) диапазон.
* **Правило:** Покупки рассматриваются только в зоне **Discount** (ниже 0.5), продажи — в зоне **Premium** (выше 0.5).
* Визуально отображаются зоны интереса и IDM (Inducement).
**2. SMC Сетапы (Входы)**
Скрипт ищет и подсвечивает следующие паттерны:
* **FVG Touch + OB:** Классический вход от Order Block при тесте FVG старшего таймфрейма.
* **Double OB:** Реакция цены на зону, где пересекаются два Order Block'а.
* **Breaker Block:** Вход на возврате к пробитому ордерблоку.
* **Combo Setup:** Комбинация снятия ликвидности (Sweep) + формирования OB.
* **Stop Hunt (SH):** Паттерн ложного пробоя уровня ликвидности с последующим разворотом.
**3. 🏆 GOLD Setup**
Специальный алгоритм для поиска сильных движений.
Сигнал **GOLD** появляется при совпадении трех факторов:
1. Цена закрепилась за уровнем 0.5 (EQ Hold).
2. Присутствует недавний тест FVG.
3. Направление DR (цвета свечи диапазона) совпадает с направлением сделки.
**4. Трендовые линии (Trend Lines Pro)**
Автоматическое построение трендовых линий с алертами на:
* Пробой (Break).
* Ретест (Retest).
* Отскок (Bounce/3rd Touch).
Включает поддержку MTF (Multi-Timeframe) линий и микро-трендов для скальпинга.
**5. Ликвидность (Liquidity Pools)**
Отображает уровни, за которыми скапливаются стоп-лоссы.
* Умный фильтр "3-Touch": показывает только сильные уровни с 3 и более касаниями.
---
### ⚙️ Фильтры и Панель
Для уменьшения количества ложных сигналов встроена мощная система фильтрации:
* **HTF Trend Filter:** Фильтр сделок по тренду старшего ТФ.
* **ADX Filter:** Игнорирование сигналов во флэте.
* **EMA 200:** Торговля только выше/ниже скользящей средней.
* **Info Panel:** Информационная панель справа показывает состояние рынка, волатильность и корреляцию с BTC.
### 🔔 Алерты
Скрипт поддерживает гибкую настройку алертов для каждого типа сигнала, а также общие алерты "ANY BUY" / "ANY SELL" для автоторговли.
**Дисклеймер:**

* Visually displays Interest Zones and IDM (Inducement).
**2. SMC Setups (Entries)**
The script scans and highlights the following patterns:
* **FVG Touch + OB:** Classic entry from an Order Block upon testing a Higher Timeframe FVG.
* **Double OB:** Price reaction at the intersection of two Order Blocks.
* **Breaker Block:** Entry on the retest of a broken Order Block.
* **Combo Setup:** A combination of Liquidity Sweep + OB formation.
* **Stop Hunt (SH):** False breakout pattern of a liquidity level followed by a reversal.
**3. 🏆 GOLD Setup**
A special algorithm designed to find strong moves.
A **GOLD** signal appears when three specific factors align:
1. Price holds/reclaims the 0.5 level (EQ Hold).
2. A recent FVG test is present.
3. DR Direction (Range candle color) matches the trade direction.
**4. Trend Lines Pro**
Automatic trend line plotting with alerts for:

The Stack8 ORB is a professional-grade execution strategy designed specifically for futures traders (MNQ, MES, NQ, ES) and Prop Firm evaluations. Unlike standard Opening Range Breakout (ORB) scripts that blindly buy every high or sell every low, Stack8 utilizes a proprietary Volatility Gate to filter out noise and only execute when institutional momentum is present.
🚀 Key Features
1. Smart Volatility Gating Most breakouts fail because the market lacks energy. This system includes a built-in Volatility Filter that detects "Choppy" market regimes. If the market is ranging or volume is low, the strategy forces itself to stay flat—saving your capital for high-probability moves.
2. The "Prop Firm Projector" (HUD) Designed for traders aiming to get funded. The on-screen Heads Up Display (HUD) includes a custom Risk Calculator that:
Auto-Calculates Drawdown: Tracks your current drawdown relative to your account tier (25k, 50k, 100k, etc.).
Safe Contract Sizing: Tells you exactly how many contracts you can trade based on your risk buffer.
Funding Estimation: Projects how many days until you hit your profit target based on current performance.
3. Zero-Repaint Logic We have strictly removed all "lookahead" bias. The Daily Trend filters and Signal logic rely purely on confirmed, closed data. What you see on the backtest is exactly how the strategy behaves in live conditions.
4. Multi-Timeframe Trend Bias The strategy aligns intraday setups with the higher-timeframe Daily Trend. It automatically detects if the Daily Regime is Bullish or Bearish and filters out counter-trend trades, increasing your win rate probability.
⚙️ Customizable Settings

VolumeProfile for Smart Money Range V4.5.2.2 3.13 Brief: This indicator is a volume profile and delta volume analysis tool on TradingView, written in Pine Script v6 (with import from the ta/10 library). It focuses on analyzing "Smart Money Range" (SMR) - a candle range (lookback period) to determine trends, extreme points (peaks/troughs), and volume distribution (volume) over time segments and price ranges. The code uses built-in functions such as ta.requestVolumeDelta to get volume delta data from a lower timeframe (customizable), and calculates cumulative delta with resets according to the anchor period (e.g., daily).
Strengths:
- Detailed and Flexible: Analyze volume by segment (A-M vs M-D) and levels (above/below X1/X2), support both total/delta mode, help detect imbalance more accurately than standard VP.
- Smart Money Insight: Identify trend/key levels automatically, compare cumulative arrays to catch cross/divergence/peaks – useful for SMC (Smart Money Concepts) like accumulation/distribution.
-Powerful Visualization: Boxes proportional, lines scaled to price, debug labels – easy to read, no clutter (limited boxes/lines).
- Delta Integration: Cumulative delta with divergence detection, top deltas/peaks – excellent for real-time buying/selling pressure analysis.
Applications:
- Trend and Reversal Analysis: Used to determine trend strength (compare VolumeTrend_BC vs Diff_MD), predict pullback/reversal if volume diff is high (e.g., VolumeUpperX1Diff_MD spikes → bearish continuation in downtrend).
- Smart Money Trading: Apply SMC – detect range accumulation (A-M volume high below X1), distribution (M-D volume high above X1), combine delta for entry/exit (bullish divergence → buy).
- Advanced Volume Profile: Replace basic VP, focus on pullback (showPullbackVolume), useful for day/swing trading on crypto/stock/forex.
- Combining Other Indicators: With ATR band for support/resistance, or overlay on price action to confirm breakout (e.g., cross cumulative lines → signal).

Brian Shannon Market Structure + Reversal Engine Shannon Market Structure & Reversal Engine
This indicator is based on the concepts from Brian Shannon's book, *Technical Analysis Using Multiple Timeframes*. It focuses on **Market Structure**, **Trend Alignment**, and **Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP)** to identify low-risk, high-probability trade setups. It automates the identification of the 4 Market Stages and provides actionable entry/exit signals based on momentum shifts and institutional value levels.
**Key Visuals:**
1. **Trend Ribbon:**
* **Green:** Stage 2 Markup (Bullish). The 10, 20, and 50 SMAs are aligned upward. Look for LONGS.
* **Red:** Stage 4 Decline (Bearish). The 10, 20, and 50 SMAs are aligned downward. Look for SHORTS.
* **Gray:** Stage 1 or 3 (Neutral). Moving averages are tangled. Avoid trading or reduce size.
2. **VWAP (Orange Line):** The "Institutional Truth." Used as a dynamic support/resistance level.
3. **Signals:**
* **"L" (Green):** Long Entry. Triggered when price reclaims the VWAP while the intermediate trend is bullish.
* **"S" (Red):** Short Entry. Triggered when price loses the VWAP while the intermediate trend is bearish.
* **"Rev" (X):** Reversal Warning. Triggered when the Short-Term trend (10 SMA) crosses the Intermediate-Term trend (20 SMA), signaling a loss of momentum.
-----
### **Instructions: How to Trade This**
**1. The Setup (Context)**
* **Check the Dashboard:** Look at the "Daily Trend" box in the top right. If it says "Stage 2 (Bull)," you are primarily looking for **Long** trades. Do not fight the Daily trend.
* **Check the Ribbon:** On your trading timeframe (e.g., 5m, 15m, 30m), wait for the ribbon to turn **Green**.
**2. The Entry (Timing)**
* **Wait for the "L":** Do not buy just because the ribbon is green. Wait for price to pull back towards the Orange VWAP line and then cross back above it.
* **The Signal:** When the **"L"** label appears, it means price has reclaimed value and momentum is aligned. This is your trigger.
**3. The Exit / Defense (Risk Management)**
* **Stop Loss:** Place your stop below the most recent swing low or below the VWAP.
* **Reversal Warning:** If you see an **Orange "Rev" X** appear at the top of a candle, the fast momentum is breaking down. This is not a signal to short, but a signal to **take profits** or tighten your stop loss immediately.
**4. The Rules (Brian Shannon's Philosophy)**
* **Innocent Until Proven Guilty:** If the ribbon is Green and rising, stay with the trend.
* **Guilty Until Proven Innocent:** If the ribbon is Red and falling, stay short or in cash.
* **Don't Predict:** Do not buy at the absolute bottom. Wait for the ribbon to turn and the VWAP to be reclaimed. Better to buy higher with confirmation than lower with hope.
Timeframe, Rating, Adjustments Needed
Intraday (1m - 4h), Perfect, "Use exactly as is. This is the ""sweet spot"" for this script."
Daily (1D),Good, "Turn OFF ""Show Session VWAP"" in settings. Use the Ribbon for Stage Identification."
Weekly/Monthly, Okay, "Turn OFF VWAP. Ignore the ""L/S"" entry signals (as they rely on VWAP). Use strictly for the Ribbon color (Green = Long Term Bull Market)."

Watchlist Volume Surge AlertOverview
This indicator is designed for traders who monitor large watchlists and need instant notification when a stock is experiencing unusual volume activity relative to its recent history.
Standard volume indicators often include the current day's volume in the average calculation. This causes a problem: if a stock is having a massive breakout, that high volume pulls the average up immediately, making it harder to hit the "relative" threshold.
This script solves that by comparing the current volume against the Simple Moving Average (SMA) of the previous n bars. This ensures a clean baseline and accurate alerts, even during massive volatility.
Key Features
Smart RVOL Calculation: Calculates Relative Volume (RVOL) based on the previous 30 bars (adjustable), ensuring the current breakout doesn't skew the average.
Visual Clarity:
Bars: Normal volume is transparent. Surge volume turns bright Teal (Bullish Close) or Red (Bearish Close).
Background: The indicator panel background highlights when a surge is active, making it impossible to miss when scanning visually.
Data Window: Displays the exact RVOL ratio (e.g., 2.11) in the Data Window for verification.
Watchlist Alert Optimized: Specifically designed to work with TradingView's "Any alert function call" or standard condition alerts across multiple tickers.
How to Set Up Alerts
This script is perfect for setting a single alert on a large watchlist to catch breakouts as they happen.
Add the indicator to your chart.
Go to the Alerts menu and create a new alert.
Condition: Select Watchlist Volume Surge Alert.
Trigger: Select "Once Per Bar".
Note: Using "Once Per Bar" ensures you are notified the moment the volume crosses the threshold during the trading day, rather than waiting for the market to close.
Message: The script includes a dynamic message: "Volume Surge! {{ticker}} volume is {{plot("RVOL Ratio")}}x the average."
Settings
Average Length (Days): The lookback period for the volume average (Default: 30).
Alert Threshold (x Average): The multiple required to trigger an alert (Default: 1.5x).
Note: This works better when you have a watchlist with similar volatility and/or market cap
Multi-Tool VWAP + EMAs (Multi-Timeframe) + Key LevelsDescription
This indicator combines several commonly used technical analysis tools into a single script, especially useful for traders using the free version of TradingView or anyone looking to reduce the number of indicators on their chart.
The goal is to provide clear visual references for trend, structure, and key levels—without generating buy/sell signals or automated trading functions.
Included Features

Source: HLC3
Purple line, thickness 2
Useful as a reference for daily institutional average price.
2. EMAs of the current timeframe
EMA 200 (red, thickness 3)
EMA 9 (green, thickness 1)
These EMAs help visualize long-term trend and short-term momentum.
3. Dynamic EMAs (MTF – Multi-Timeframe)
The indicator displays the 200 EMA from higher timeframes as dynamic horizontal levels:
5 minutes
15 minutes
30 minutes
1 hour
4 hours
1 day
Each level includes a descriptive label such as “15 min EMA 200”.
These EMAs serve as reference points for potential support/resistance areas coming from higher timeframes.
4. Automatic Key Levels
The indicator plots several important price levels:
Previous day:
PDH (Previous Day High)
PDL (Previous Day Low)
Previous Day 50% Fibonacci level
Pre-market (04:00–09:30 exchange time):
PMH (Pre-Market High)
PML (Pre-Market Low)
Current session:
Open (session opening price)
Previous Close (prior day’s closing price)

Nexural QWAPQWAP - Quantitative Weighted Average Price with True Order Flow Analysis
INTRODUCTION
This is legit one of the best indicators I can possibly make. Since I don't have access to tick data on tradingview I can't claim it's as accurate as possible but it is a very polished indicator for VWAP based trading and the bands are VERY useful for mean reverting trading.
QWAP Elite is an advanced Volume Weighted Average Price indicator that incorporates true order flow analysis through intrabar data decomposition. Unlike traditional VWAP indicators that simply calculate price multiplied by volume divided by total volume, this indicator attempts to identify the directional intent behind that volume by analyzing whether buying or selling pressure dominated each bar at a granular level.
The fundamental premise of this indicator is that not all volume is created equal. A bar with 10000 contracts where 8000 were aggressive buyers tells a very different story than a bar with 10000 contracts where 8000 were aggressive sellers, even if both bars close at the same price. Traditional VWAP treats these identically. QWAP attempts to weight the VWAP calculation based on this directional flow information.
This indicator was designed for traders who believe that institutional order flow leaves detectable footprints in price and volume data, and that identifying these footprints can provide an edge in determining likely future price direction. It is not a holy grail and it is not a replacement for proper risk management and trading discipline.
HOW THE INDICATOR WORKS
The True CVD Engine
The core of this indicator is its Cumulative Volume Delta calculation. Most indicators on TradingView approximate buying and selling volume by looking at whether a bar closed higher or lower than it opened. If the bar closed green, they assign all volume as buying volume. If it closed red, they assign all volume as selling volume. This is a crude approximation that misses significant nuance.
QWAP Elite uses the request security lower tf function to pull actual intrabar data. This means if you are on a 5 minute chart, the indicator is looking at the individual ticks or smaller timeframe bars that occurred within that 5 minute period. It then calculates how much volume occurred on up moves versus down moves within that bar, giving a much more accurate picture of whether buyers or sellers were more aggressive.
The Delta Ratio is calculated as the net delta divided by total volume, resulting in a value between negative one and positive one. A value of positive 0.6 means that 80 percent of volume was buying and 20 percent was selling. A value of negative 0.4 means that 70 percent was selling and 30 percent was buying. This ratio is then used to weight the VWAP calculation.
The intrabar precision is displayed in the dashboard as the number of bars analyzed. More bars means more granular data and theoretically more accurate delta calculation. The indicator automatically selects an appropriate lower timeframe based on your chart timeframe to balance accuracy with computational performance.
VIX Integration and Volatility Intelligence
The indicator pulls live VIX data and uses it to adjust its calculations dynamically. The VIX or CBOE Volatility Index represents the market expectation of 30 day forward looking volatility derived from SP500 option prices. When VIX is elevated, markets behave differently than when VIX is compressed.
Specifically, the indicator uses VIX to adjust the standard deviation bands around VWAP. In high volatility environments where VIX is above 25 or 30, the bands automatically widen to account for larger price swings. In low volatility environments where VIX is below 15, the bands tighten. This prevents false signals that would occur if static band widths were used across all market conditions.
The indicator also pulls VVIX which is the volatility of the VIX itself and VIX9D which is the 9 day VIX. By comparing VIX to VIX9D, the indicator can identify term structure conditions. When short term VIX is higher than longer term VIX, this is called backwardation and often indicates fear or stress in the market. When short term VIX is lower, this is contango and indicates complacency.
The VIX regime classification in the dashboard shows CALM when VIX is below 12, NORMAL between 12 and 20, ELEVATED between 20 and 30, and FEAR when above 30. Each regime suggests different trading approaches and position sizing considerations.
DETECTION SYSTEMS
Absorption Detection
Absorption occurs when large volume enters the market but price barely moves. This happens when one side is absorbing all the aggression from the other side. For example, if aggressive sellers are hitting the bid repeatedly but price is not dropping, it suggests there is a large buyer absorbing all that selling pressure. This often precedes reversals.
The indicator detects absorption by looking for bars with above average volume, below average range, and high wick ratios. A high wick ratio means the bar has long wicks relative to its body, indicating price moved but was pushed back. When these conditions coincide with strong delta in one direction, it suggests institutional absorption.
Liquidity Sweep Detection
Liquidity sweeps, also known as stop hunts, occur when price briefly exceeds a recent high or low to trigger stop losses, then reverses. Large traders need liquidity to fill their orders, and stops clustered above swing highs or below swing lows represent pools of liquidity they can tap into.
The indicator identifies sweeps by detecting when price exceeds the 5 or 20 bar high or low but closes back inside. A bull trap is identified when price sweeps above recent highs but closes below them, suggesting sellers trapped buyers who bought the breakout. A bear trap is the opposite, where price sweeps lows but closes above, trapping shorts.
Sweep detection is most useful when combined with delta analysis. A sweep with strong opposing delta, meaning price swept highs but delta was heavily negative, is a higher probability reversal signal than a sweep alone.
CVD Divergence Detection
Divergence between price and cumulative delta is one of the most reliable signals the indicator produces. When price is making higher highs but cumulative delta is making lower highs, it suggests that buying pressure is weakening even though price is still rising. This bearish divergence often precedes pullbacks or reversals.
Conversely, bullish divergence occurs when price makes lower lows but cumulative delta makes higher lows. This suggests that even though price is dropping, buying pressure is actually increasing, and sellers may be exhausted. These divergences are calculated over a 5 bar lookback period.
Stacked Imbalance Detection
Stacked imbalances occur when there are three or more consecutive bars with strong delta in the same direction. This represents sustained aggressive positioning by one side of the market. Three consecutive bars with delta above 0.5 suggests aggressive institutional buying. Three consecutive bars below negative 0.5 suggests aggressive institutional selling.
The count of consecutive imbalanced bars is displayed in the detection section. Four or more stacked imbalances is considered highly significant. This pattern often precedes continuation moves in the direction of the imbalance, as it suggests a committed directional player has entered the market.
Institutional Flow Detection
The indicator attempts to identify institutional activity by looking for the convergence of multiple factors. Specifically, it requires strong delta above 0.5 or below negative 0.5, volume persistence across multiple bars meaning above average volume for at least 2 to 3 bars in a row, and delta persistence meaning delta in the same direction for multiple consecutive bars.
When these factors align, the dashboard displays INST BUY or INST SELL instead of RETAIL. This classification should be viewed as a probability estimate rather than a certainty. Retail traders can produce similar patterns, and institutions can hide their activity. The designation is meant to highlight periods where the characteristics of flow are consistent with larger players.
ADAPTIVE WEIGHT SYSTEM
The indicator includes an adaptive system that automatically adjusts how much weight the CVD analysis has on the VWAP calculation. In quiet, low volatility markets, the CVD weight is reduced because the signal to noise ratio is lower. In active, high volatility markets with clear directional flow, the weight is increased.
The adaptation considers multiple factors including VIX regime, delta clarity meaning how strong and consistent the delta readings are, volume persistence, and time of day session weighting. The current adaptive weight is displayed in the dashboard and typically ranges from 0.05 to 0.50.
The adaptation speed setting controls how quickly the weight responds to changing conditions. A higher speed means faster adaptation but potentially more noise. A lower speed means smoother adaptation but potentially slower response to regime changes.
SESSION AWARENESS
Not all trading hours are equal. The indicator applies different weights to different trading sessions based on typical liquidity and reliability patterns. The open drive, which covers 9 30 to 10 30 AM Eastern time, receives a 1.4x weight multiplier because this is typically the highest volume and most directionally significant period of the day.
Power hour from 3 00 to 4 00 PM Eastern receives a 1.3x multiplier as institutional traders often execute their daily positioning in this final hour. The lunch hour from 11 00 AM to 2 00 PM receives a 0.9x multiplier due to typically lower volume and more choppy price action. Premarket receives 0.7x and after hours receives 0.5x due to thin liquidity and unreliable signals.
The current session is displayed in the dashboard header. Traders should consider reducing position sizes and widening stops during lower weight sessions, particularly premarket and after hours where the indicator readings are less reliable.
COMPOSITE SCORES
Bias Score
The Bias Score ranges from negative 100 to positive 100 and represents the indicators overall directional lean. It synthesizes delta analysis, VWAP momentum, and multi-timeframe confluence into a single number. A score above 50 indicates strong bullish bias. A score below negative 50 indicates strong bearish bias. Scores between negative 20 and positive 20 are considered neutral.
The visual bias meter in the dashboard shows this score as a bar that leans left for bearish or right for bullish. This provides an at a glance summary of the indicators current directional reading without needing to interpret multiple individual metrics.
Setup Quality Score
The Setup Quality Score ranges from 0 to 100 and measures how many factors are aligning to support a potential trade. It awards points for strong delta readings, volume persistence, multi-timeframe confluence, detection events like absorption or divergence, and favorable session timing. A score above 60 suggests multiple factors are confirming. A score below 30 suggests the setup lacks confirmation.
This score is designed to help traders filter trades. Rather than acting on every signal, traders can set a minimum quality threshold. For example, only taking trades when quality is above 50 will filter out lower probability setups. Higher thresholds mean fewer trades but potentially higher win rates.
Heat Score
The Heat Score measures overall market activity intensity and ranges from 0 to 100. It combines volume heat meaning how elevated current volume is relative to average, volatility heat based on ATR expansion or VIX levels, delta heat meaning how strong the current delta reading is, and deviation heat meaning how far price is from VWAP.
Markets with heat above 75 are classified as EXTREME and typically represent high opportunity but also high risk environments. Heat between 50 and 75 is ACTIVE and represents good trading conditions. Heat between 25 and 50 is NORMAL. Heat below 25 is QUIET and suggests range bound conditions where mean reversion strategies may outperform trend following.
DASHBOARD GUIDE
Header Row
The header row displays QWAP with a lightning bolt icon, the current session abbreviation like OPEN or POWER or LUNCH, the current regime classification, and VIX status with a colored indicator. Green indicates low VIX and favorable conditions. Yellow indicates elevated VIX. Red indicates high VIX or that VIX data is unavailable.
Signal Row
The signal row is the largest and most prominent element. It displays the primary signal which will be LONG, SHORT, REVERSAL, or WAIT. LONG appears when bias is strongly bullish and quality is high. SHORT appears when bias is strongly bearish and quality is high. REVERSAL appears when divergence or absorption is detected at an extreme sigma level. WAIT appears when conditions do not meet the threshold for a signal.
Next to the signal is the quality score displayed as Q followed by a number out of 100. This helps traders quickly assess how confirmed the signal is. A LONG signal with Q 72 is more compelling than a LONG signal with Q 45.
Order Flow Section
The delta row shows the current delta direction as BUY or SELL, the percentage strength, a visual indicator of strength with filled or empty circles, and an arrow indicating whether delta is accelerating or decelerating. The flow row shows whether activity is classified as INST BUY, INST SELL, or RETAIL, along with the number of intrabar data points used in the calculation.
Market Section
The heat row displays the heat score as a visual bar and numeric value. The vol row shows volatility state as EXPAND, COMPRESS, or NORMAL along with relative volume. The dist row shows distance from VWAP in sigmas and percentage, plus momentum direction.
Detection Section
This section only appears when detections are active. It displays warning icons next to detection types like BUY ABS, SELL ABS, BULL TRAP, BEAR TRAP, BULL DIV, BEAR DIV, BUY STACK, or SELL STACK. Each detection includes a score representing its strength or significance.
HOW TO USE THIS INDICATOR
Recommended Workflow
First, check the regime and session. If VIX is in FEAR mode or you are in premarket or after hours, consider reduced position sizing or waiting for better conditions.
Second, look at the primary signal and quality score. Signals with quality below 40 are low conviction. Consider requiring quality above 50 or 60 before acting.
Third, check the bias meter for overall directional lean. Ensure it aligns with your intended trade direction.
Fourth, review active detections. Absorption and divergence near VWAP bands increase reversal probability. Stacked imbalances support continuation.
Fifth, use VWAP and sigma bands for entry, stop, and target placement. The bands provide natural support and resistance levels based on statistical distribution.
Sixth, monitor for changes in delta and flow classification. Institutional activity transitioning to retail or delta reversing direction are warning signs.
TRADE EXAMPLES
Mean Reversion Setup
Price extended to 2.5 sigma above VWAP. Signal shows REVERSAL. Quality is 55. Absorption detected with BUY ABS showing score of 2.3. Delta is showing SELL at 45 percent despite price being elevated. This suggests buyers are being absorbed and a pullback to VWAP is likely. Enter short with stop above the 3 sigma band and target at VWAP or 1 sigma band.
Trend Continuation Setup
Signal shows LONG with quality 68. Bias meter shows STRONG BULL. BUY STACK detected with 4 consecutive imbalanced bars. Flow shows INST BUY. Price has pulled back to VWAP and is finding support. Heat is at 62 indicating ACTIVE conditions. Enter long on VWAP touch with stop below 1 sigma band and target at 2 sigma band.
Liquidity Sweep Setup
BEAR TRAP detected with score of 1.8. Price swept below recent lows but closed back above. Delta is showing BUY at 52 percent on the sweep bar. BULL DIV also active as price made lower low but delta made higher low. Signal shows REVERSAL with quality 58. Enter long with stop below the sweep low and target at VWAP.
HONEST ASSESSMENT OF STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES
Strengths
True CVD calculation using intrabar data is significantly more accurate than close greater than open approximations used by most indicators. This provides genuine insight into buying versus selling pressure.
VIX integration with term structure analysis is institutional grade thinking applied to a retail tool. Dynamic band adjustment prevents false signals in different volatility regimes.
Multiple detection systems provide different perspectives on the same market. Absorption, sweeps, divergence, and imbalances each capture different footprints of institutional activity.
Composite scores synthesize complex information into actionable numbers. Traders do not need to mentally integrate 15 different metrics. The quality score and bias score do this automatically.
Session awareness prevents trading during low quality periods. The automatic weighting helps filter out noise from premarket, after hours, and lunch periods.
Adaptive system self adjusts to market conditions. Traders do not need to manually tune parameters as volatility and activity change.
Weaknesses and Limitations
Intrabar data is still an approximation of true tick level order flow. Without actual tick data showing individual trades hitting bid versus lifting offer, even this calculation has error bars. Professional platforms like Sierra Chart or Quantower with direct exchange feeds will always have more accurate delta.
The indicator is computationally heavy. Users may experience slower chart loading particularly on lower end hardware or when viewing many bars. The optimization features help but cannot eliminate this cost entirely.
Institutional detection is probabilistic not definitive. Retail traders in aggregate can produce patterns that look institutional. Institutions can and do hide their activity. The INST BUY and INST SELL labels should be viewed as probability shifts not certainties.
The indicator works best on liquid instruments with significant volume. On thinly traded stocks or during illiquid periods, delta calculations become noisy and unreliable. The indicator is optimized for ES, NQ, SPY, QQQ, and similar high volume instruments.
VIX integration only works for US equity index products. If trading forex, crypto, or other asset classes, the VIX data is not directly applicable and should be disabled.
No indicator can predict the future. Order flow analysis shows what happened and what is happening. It cannot guarantee what will happen next. Large players can and do reverse their positioning. News events can invalidate any technical setup instantly.
The complexity of the indicator means there is a learning curve. New users may be overwhelmed by the number of metrics displayed. It takes time to develop intuition for what combinations of readings are significant.
The indicator does not include automated backtesting or historical performance statistics. Users cannot easily quantify the win rate or expected value of following its signals without manual journaling and analysis.
RISK MANAGEMENT GUIDELINES
This indicator is a tool not a trading system. It provides information that may help inform trading decisions but it does not make those decisions for you. Proper risk management is essential regardless of how compelling the indicator readings appear.
Position Sizing
Never risk more than 1 to 2 percent of your account on any single trade regardless of how high the quality score is. High quality setups still fail regularly. A setup with 70 percent win rate still loses 30 percent of the time, and those losses can come in clusters.
Consider reducing position size when VIX is in ELEVATED or FEAR regime, when trading during premarket or after hours sessions, when quality score is below 50, and when multiple detection systems are conflicting with each other.
Stop Loss Placement
The sigma bands provide natural levels for stop placement. For mean reversion trades, stops should typically be placed beyond the next sigma level. For example, if entering short at 2 sigma, place stop beyond 3 sigma. For trend trades entering at VWAP, consider stops beyond 1 sigma in the opposite direction.
Stops should also respect market structure. If there is a recent swing high or low near your calculated stop level, extend the stop beyond that swing point. Placing stops at obvious levels invites stop hunting.
In high VIX environments, consider wider stops. The VIX band multiplier automatically widens the sigma bands, and your stops should reflect this increased volatility. A stop that works in a 15 VIX environment may be too tight when VIX is 30.
Taking Profits
The sigma bands also provide natural profit targets. For mean reversion trades, VWAP itself is often the first target with the opposite 1 sigma band as an extended target. For trend trades, each sigma band can serve as a scaling point.
Pay attention to delta and flow changes as price approaches targets. If delta is weakening or flow classification shifts from institutional to retail, consider taking profits early. Conversely, if delta is strengthening into the target, consider holding for extension.
When to Avoid Trading
Consider sitting out when the signal shows WAIT and quality is below 30. In these conditions, the indicator is essentially saying there is no clear edge. Trading anyway is gambling not trading.
Avoid trading during major news events. The indicator cannot account for sudden information shocks. Economic releases, Fed announcements, earnings reports, and geopolitical events can invalidate any technical setup instantly.
Consider avoiding the first and last 5 minutes of regular trading hours. These periods often have erratic price action and unreliable delta calculations due to order imbalances at open and close.
SETTINGS REFERENCE
Core Engine Settings
VWAP Source determines what price is used for the VWAP calculation. The default HLC3 uses the average of high, low, and close which provides a balanced representation. HL2 uses just high and low average. Close uses only the closing price. Most traders should leave this at HLC3.
True CVD Engine should remain enabled for accurate order flow analysis. Disabling it falls back to close greater than open estimation which is significantly less accurate. Only disable if you are experiencing performance issues.
CVD Impact controls how much the delta analysis affects the VWAP calculation. Higher values mean delta has more influence. The default 0.2 provides a balance. Increase toward 0.5 if you want delta to have stronger effect. Decrease toward 0.1 if you want something closer to traditional VWAP.
Detection Sensitivity offers three presets. Conservative produces fewer signals but higher confidence. Balanced is the default middle ground. Aggressive produces more signals but with more false positives. New users should start with Balanced and adjust based on experience.
VIX Settings
VIX Integration should be enabled when trading US equity index products like ES, NQ, SPY, or QQQ. Disable it when trading forex, crypto, commodities, or individual stocks where VIX is not directly applicable.
VIX Symbol allows selection between VIX for SP500 volatility, VXN for Nasdaq volatility, and RVX for Russell 2000 volatility. Choose the one most relevant to your trading instrument.
VIX Baseline sets the historical average VIX level used for normalization. The default 16 represents the long term average. If trading in a persistently higher or lower VIX environment, adjusting this can help calibrate the regime classifications.
Display Settings
Dashboard Style offers three options. Compact shows only the signal and bias meter for minimal screen footprint. Elite adds order flow and market sections for balanced information. Full adds VIX details, detections, and adaptive system information for complete visibility.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why does the indicator sometimes show WAIT when there is an obvious trend
The signal system is designed to identify high probability entry points not to constantly indicate trend direction. A strong uptrend may show WAIT because price is extended from VWAP and a pullback is likely before continuation. The indicator is trying to prevent you from buying the top of an impulse move.
Why is my delta reading different from another order flow tool
Different platforms calculate delta differently. Some use tick data. Some use time based aggregation. Some use volume based aggregation. The timeframe being analyzed matters as well. QWAP uses intrabar data which is more accurate than close versus open approximations but less accurate than true tick data from professional platforms.
Can I use this indicator for scalping
The indicator can be used on lower timeframes but becomes less reliable. On 1 minute charts, the intrabar decomposition has fewer data points to work with. For scalping, consider using 3 to 5 minute charts as a minimum. Also note that the session weighting and detection systems are calibrated for swing and intraday trading, not ultra short term scalping.
Does this indicator repaint
The VWAP line and sigma bands can adjust slightly as intrabar data comes in during a live bar. Once a bar closes, those values are fixed. The signals and detections are calculated on closed bars and do not repaint. For live trading, wait for bar close confirmation before acting on signals.
What markets does this work best on
The indicator is optimized for high liquidity US equity index products including ES, NQ, SPY, QQQ, IWM, and DIA. It can work on other liquid instruments but the VIX integration should be disabled for non equity products. Avoid using on low volume stocks or illiquid markets where delta calculations will be noisy.

DIY ZP + Scalps: Multi-System Confirmation & Fast Scalping💡 Overview
This is an advanced, amalgamated trend-following and momentum indicator designed to provide dual-layer signals: a highly Confirmed (Low-Risk) Signal for swing/position trades, and a Fast Scalping Signal for high-frequency entries.
It combines the logic of a multi-indicator confirmation system (derived from "DIY ZP" concepts) with a sensitive momentum crossover system (derived from "Scalp Pro" concepts).
✨ Key Features
Dual-Signal Output: Separates signals into "CONFIRM" (high probability, slow) and "SP Buy/Sell" (high sensitivity, fast).
Multi-Confirmation Engine: The primary "CONFIRM" signals only fire when ALL enabled filtering criteria agree within a user-defined expiry window:
EMA 200 Filter (Trend Direction)
MACD Crossover (Momentum)
Supertrend (Volatility/Trend Structure)
Fast Scalp Pro Momentum: Uses a proprietary, low-latency, zero-lagged filter to generate rapid "SP Buy/Sell" signals for immediate execution.
Integrated Trend Lines: Plots EMA (200), MA (5, 13, 50), and Supertrend on the chart for visual context and trailing stops.
All-in-One Alerts: Features separate alertcondition() calls for Primary, Scalp Pro, and Supertrend Reversal events, making it easy to set up mobile notifications for specific trade styles.
⚙️ How to Use
Select Your Style: Use the input settings to enable/disable the primary filters (EMA, MACD, Supertrend) to customize the confirmation strictness.
CONFIRM LONG/SHORT (Primary Signal): Recommended for swing traders. These signals are delayed but offer higher probability as they satisfy all major trend and momentum conditions.
SP Buy/Sell (Scalp Pro Signal): Recommended for scalpers and day traders. Use this signal to enter early, but manage risk strictly (e.g., using a 1.0 ATR target to move to break-even immediately).
Risk Management: The integrated Supertrend line serves as an excellent dynamic trailing stop loss.
📝 Important Note
The indicator calculates internal momentum lines (Scalp Pro MACD/Signal) with high values to ensure accuracy. These lines are explicitly hidden (display.none) to prevent distortion of your main price chart's overlay.
Market Internals Dashboard: Trend, Breadth, Volume PressureOverview
The Market Internals Dashboard Pro is a professional-grade toolkit modeled after what prop firms and institutional desks use to understand real intraday market conditions.
Instead of relying solely on price, this indicator analyzes three critical internal forces:
USI:TICK : Microstructure buying/selling pressure
USI:ADD : Market breadth participation (advancers vs decliners proxy)
USI:VOLD : Volume pressure (buying vs selling volume)
These internals determine whether the market is:
Trending or ranging
Bullish or bearish
Likely to follow through or mean-revert
Favoring continuation trades or fade setups
The script also produces a Market Environment Score (–3 to +3) and a real-time Trade Recommendation Table that updates every bar. This helps answer the single most important question in intraday trading: “What type of trades should I be taking right now given current market conditions?”
1. TICK Proxy: Microstructure Pressure
Measures buying vs. selling aggressiveness across the market This proxy simulates the NYSE TICK index by evaluating whether bars close above or below the prior bar.
Positive TICK → Buyers lifting offers
Negative TICK → Sellers hitting bids
Neutral TICK → No microstructure conviction
Why it matters:
Strong TICK is often the earliest sign of:
Trend initiation
Algorithmic buy/sell programs
Shifts in short‑term sentiment
Weak or choppy TICK often signals:
Range conditions
Failed breakouts
Low‑quality trend attempts
2. ADD Proxy: Market Breadth Strength
Shows how many stocks are participating in a move Because real USI:ADD data isn't available for all users, this script uses a self-contained breadth approximation built from:
Price slope
Volatility expansion
Volume‑weighted directional pressure
Why it matters? Breadth reveals whether the move is:
Broad and healthy → likely to continue
Narrow and weak → vulnerable to reversal
Strong trends require strong breadth. Weak breadth often precedes:
Failed breakouts
Reversal setups
Chop (ewww)
3. VOLD Proxy: Volume Pressure
The most important internal of all. This proxy measures whether trading volume is flowing into up bars or down bars.
Positive VOLD → Net buying pressure
Negative VOLD → Net selling pressure
Why it matters:
VOLD is considered the "truth serum" of the tape:
Strong VOLD drives trend days
Negative VOLD kills long setups
Mixed VOLD creates chop
You should rarely trend trade against VOLD.
4. Market Environment Score (–3 to +3)
The Environment Score combines the three internals into a single view:
|| Score || Interpretation || Market Type ||
| +3 | Strong Bull | Trend Day (Long) |
| +2 | Bull | Pullback Buys / Breakout Continuation |
| +1 | Mild Bull | Conservative Long Scalps |
| 0 | Neutral | CHOP – VWAP Reversions / Fades |
| -1 | Mild Bear | Short Failed Breakouts |
| -2 | Bear | Trend Shorts / Breakdown Continuation |
| -3 | Strong Bear | Trend Day (Short) |
Why it matters:
The market behaves differently depending on internal alignment. This score prevents traders from:
Forcing trend trades on chop days
Chasing breakouts when breadth is weak
Fading strong directional days
It tells you in real time whether conditions favor:
Trend following
Mean reversion
Breakout continuation
Liquidity grabs
Or sitting out
5. Trade Recommendation Engine
Based on the Environment Score, the indicator outputs a real-time playbook recommending which trade types have the highest probability of success right now.
Examples:
Score = 0 (Neutral)
VWAP Reversions
Liquidity Grabs
Failed Breakouts
Quick Scalps
Score = +2/+3 (Strong Bull)
Pullback Buys
Breakout Continuation
Trend Longs
Score = -2/-3 (Strong Bear)
Pullback Shorts
Breakdown Continuation
Trend Shorts Only
This turns the internals into a trade selection engine, not just a data display.
Why Market Internals Matter
Most indicators look only at price, but price is the result, not the cause.
Market internals show:
Where volume is flowing
Whether buying is aggressive or passive
How many stocks are participating
Whether algorithms are supporting or fighting the move
This dashboard helps traders:
Avoid chop
Stay out of low‑quality setups
Time entries with institutional flows
Improve win rate by trading the right setups at the right times
Final Notes
Works on any symbol or timeframe
Fully customizable colors
Two clean visual tables: Internals + Trade Playbook
Ideal for futures, ETFs, and options day traders

Trade smart.
Titan AI: Smart MFI OscillatorTitan AI: Smart MFI Oscillator is not your standard Momentum indicator. It is a next-generation Hybrid Intelligence Engine designed to detect the true state of market liquidity. Unlike traditional oscillators that rely on static levels (like 80/20), Titan AI employs an Unsupervised Learning Algorithm (K-Means Clustering)** to adaptively classify Money Flow in real-time.
This indicator is built for traders who need to filter out noise and see the structural reality of the market. It answers the critical question: "Is the market actually trending with volume, or is it stuck in equilibrium?"
With the integrated "Smart MFI (INFO)" Dashboard, you get a tactical Heads-Up Display (HUD) that stabilizes complex volatility data into clear, institutional signals.
💎 Key Features
1. Adaptive AI Brain (K-Means Clustering):
Standard oscillators fail because they don't adapt to volatility changes. Titan AI solves this by running a clustering algorithm on historical data to define dynamic "Overbought" and "Oversold" zones.
- Result: The indicator "breathes" with the market, providing accurate signals in both low-volatility ranges and high-volatility trends.
2. Institutional Flow Classification:
The core logic doesn't just measure ups and downs; it classifies the **Money Flow Index (MFI)** into three institutional states displayed on the panel:
- 🟢 ACCUMULATION: Strong buying pressure detected (Smart Money Entry).
- 🔴 DISTRIBUTION: Strong selling pressure detected (Smart Money Exit).
- ⚪ EQUILIBRIUM: The market is balanced/ranging. (No Edge).
3. Visual Histogram & Whale Detector:
- Classic Flow: Green/Red bars for buying/selling pressure.
- 🐋 WHALE ACTIVITY (White Bars): The histogram turns WHITE when current volume exceeds 200% of the average**. This visually confirms that big players (Whales) are driving the price movement.
4. "Squeeze" & Extreme Blocks:
- Orange Blocks: These appear when momentum is statistically overextended. In a strong trend, this indicates a **"Turbo Zone"**. In a weak market, it signals imminent exhaustion.
- Peak Circles: Visual markers for potential tops and bottoms based on adaptive band crosses.
5. Smart MFI (INFO) Dashboard (HUD):
A professional panel fixed to your screen that uses Confirmed Data to prevent repainting.
- Trend: Macro direction (EMA 200).
- Momentum (AI): Immediate impulse direction.
- Flow (AI): The exact institutional state + numeric value.
🚀 How to Use
1. Trend Following (The Flow)
- Long Setup: Wait for the Dashboard to show TREND: BULLISH and FLOW: ACCUMULATION. Enter when the histogram is Green or White (Whale Volume).
- Short Setup: Wait for TREND: BEARISH and FLOW: DISTRIBUTION. Enter when the histogram is Red or White.
2. Trading Reversals (The Extremes)
- Exhaustion: If you see Orange Blocks followed by a Circle/Triangle, the move is overextended.
- Execution: Do not fade the move immediately. Wait for the Dashboard's Momentum to flip (e.g., from Bullish to Bearish) to confirm the reversal.
3. Filtering Noise (The Smart Filter)
- If the Dashboard says FLOW: EQUILIBRIUM (Grey), volatility is dead. Stay out of the market or wait for a breakout confirmed by an Accumulation/Distribution signal.
⚙️ Settings
- AI Training Data: Adjusts how much historical data the K-Means algorithm uses (Default: 300).
- Visuals: Toggle the classic Money Flow Histogram, Divergence Lines, or the Dashboard itself.
- Positions: You can move the panel to any corner of the chart.

SMT Divergence - Time & Calendar CyclesSMT Divergence - Time & Calendar Cycles
This indicator is a specialized tool designed to detect SMT divergences across multiple fractal structures.
It is powered by a proprietary Cycle Engine, which utilizes a dual-layer processing system to filter, rank, and render divergences based on strict Time Cycles (e.g., 90-minute rolling windows) and Calendar Cycles (e.g., Daily/Weekly structure).
Specifically engineered for precision analysis, this tool features a proprietary architecture that separates permanent historical data from real-time price action, ensuring both backtesting reliability and live execution speed.
1. Core Concept: Automated SMT Detection
SMT Divergences occur when correlated instruments fail to confirm each other's price action at key structural pivots. For example, if the Nasdaq (NQ) makes a higher high while the S&P 500 (ES) fails to do so, this crack in correlation can signal an engineered liquidity grab or an impending reversal.
This indicator automates this analysis by comparing the Main Chart against up to three user-defined "Witness" symbols. It supports Direct Correlation (e.g., NQ vs. ES) and Inverse Correlation (e.g., EURUSD vs. DXY), where the logic automatically inverts to flag Higher Highs vs. Higher Highs as valid divergences. It also features unique "Witness vs. Witness" logic, which cross-verifies the comparison symbols against each other (e.g., Symbol 1 vs. Symbol 2) to find internal market weakness, even if the main chart is currently neutral.
2. How It Works: The Dual-Engine System
To accurately map fractal price action, the indicator splits its logic into two distinct engines which run simultaneously:
2.1 Time Cycles (Intraday Analysis)
Designed for Intraday Macro analysis (targeting specific time windows like 90-minute or 30-minute cycles). These cycles are strictly bound to a user-defined trading session (e.g., 09:30 - 16:00) and repeat continuously (roll over) throughout the entire window until the session ends. At the beginning of every new session, all Time Cycle data is cleared. This ensures that the indicator searches for fresh liquidity voids specific to the current trading day, preventing data pollution from previous days.
2.2 Calendar Cycles (Macro Analysis)
Designed for Higher Timeframe (HTF) structural analysis, monitoring Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, and Yearly periods. Unlike Time Cycles, Calendar Cycles utilize persistent data arrays that survive session resets. This allows the tool to detect Multi-Day or Multi-Week divergences effectively. It offers smart calculation modes, including "Exchange Session" to prevent ghost lines on Futures charts.
3. The Unified SMT Visualization Architecture
The system's core achievement is the Fractal Time Synthesis , unifying micro (Intraday) and macro (Calendar) analysis by simultaneously projecting divergence signals from Session-Anchored Time Cycles and Continuous Calendar Cycles onto a single chart view. This provides immediate, comprehensive multi-timeframe structural bias verification.
The structural data is clearly delineated into two states: the correct past and the correct live divergences. Divergences from completed cycles are displayed as a definitive record, providing non-repainting historical validation. Concurrently, setups forming currently are tracked dynamically, ensuring real-time responsiveness for analysis across all cycles being monitored.
4. How To Use This Tool
Configuration: Set your Timezone and Session Start/End times in the settings. This ensures the "Time Cycles" align correctly with your specific market.
Select Symbols: Input your comparison symbols (e.g., ES, YM, or inversely DXY). Ensure the "Inverse" toggle is checked for negatively correlated assets.
Cycle Selection: Enable the specific cycles relevant to your strategy (e.g., Daily + 90m Macro).
Render History: Always scroll the chart back to the very beginning of your available price history after loading the indicator or changing timeframes. This ensures the maximum historical data is processed for accurate divergence calculation.
Interpretation - The system flags two conditions: 'Bearish SMT' (Price makes a Higher High, but the correlated asset makes a Lower High) & 'Bullish SMT' (Price makes a Lower Low, but the correlated asset makes a Higher Low)
Confluence: Use the "Live" lines for real-time analysis, and refer to the "Historian" lines to understand the higher timeframe bias.
5. Key Features
5.1 Multi-Symbol & Correlation
Triple-Check Logic: Capable of comparing the Main Chart against Symbol 1, Symbol 2, and Symbol 3 simultaneously.
Cross-Symbol Check: The script can optionally validate Symbol 1 against Symbol 2 (e.g., checking ES vs. YM) and plot the result on your NQ chart, giving you a complete market breadth view.
5.2 Structural Range Validation
The script includes strict validation logic to ensure high-quality data. It automatically verifies that the detected highs and lows are the true extremes of the cycle range. If price action within the cycle breaches the anchor points, the signal is considered structurally invalid and will not be drawn.
This validation process is dynamically controlled by the Lookback Cycles setting. Users define the exact number of preceding historical cycles the current structure must be compared against (e.g., comparing against the last 9 cycles), allowing for customization of the structural depth.
5.3 Professional Drawing & Chart Management
Collision Engine: A proprietary memory map tracks every pixel drawn on the chart. If a lower timeframe cycle tries to draw over a higher timeframe cycle, the engine blocks or suppresses the lower priority signal based on your settings.
Data Integrity: The script automatically validates cycle duration to ensure signals do not span across abnormal time gaps or missing data.
Garbage Collection: The script actively manages internal memory to prevent crashes, allowing for deep backtesting history on lower timeframes.
5.4 Full Customization
Adaptive Coloring: Labels and text automatically switch between black and white based on your background brightness to ensure readability.
Visual Control: Fully customizable line styles, widths, and colors for every individual cycle.

ADX with 20 ThresholdI wanted an ADX with a threshold line so I created an indicator.
ADX (20 Threshold) Cheat-Sheet
Purpose: Filter trades by trend strength.
Indicator: ADX (derived from DMI) with optional +DI/−DI lines.
Key Rules:
ADX > 20: Trend is strong → trade OK
ADX < 20: Trend is weak/choppy → avoid trades
Optional +DI / −DI: Shows momentum direction
HTF Use: Stable trend confirmation
LTF Use: Optional filter with EMA slope for entries
Tips:
Combine with EMAs or MACD for directional bias.
ADX does not indicate direction, only strength.
Best used to avoid low-probability trades in sideways markets.
Market Regime & Bias Assistant [Prototype v1.1]
Market Regime & Bias Assistant
### **Overview**
The **Market Regime & Bias Assistant** is an all-in-one trend filtration and trading system designed to keep traders on the right side of the market. Instead of relying on a single moving average, this indicator combines **ADX (Trend Strength)**, **Multi-Timeframe EMAs**, **RSI**, and **Volume Spread Analysis (VSA)** concepts to generate a quantitative "Confidence Score" for the current market bias.
It automatically adapts its settings based on your timeframe (Intraday vs. Swing) and provides clear visual cues via background shading, candle coloring, and a data panel.
---
### **Key Features**
* **Auto-Adaptive Modes:** Automatically switches between "Intraday" and "Swing" settings based on your timeframe.
* *Intraday:* Uses faster EMAs (Aggressive 9/30 or Conservative 20/50) and VWAP.
* *Swing:* Uses standard 20/50 EMAs with 200/800 long-term context moving averages.
* **Market Regime Detection:** Identifies if the market is in a **Trend (Bull/Bear)** or a **Range (Neutral)** using a combination of ADX thresholds and EMA alignment.
* **Confidence Scoring (0-100):** A proprietary algorithm that scores the quality of the trend based on RSI alignment, Volume confirmation, and Long-term EMA context.
* **Vector Volume Candles:** Color-coded candles to highlight institutional activity (High Volume) vs. Climactic Volume (Exhaustion).
* **Pullback Signals:** "L" and "S" markers indicating high-probability entries after a pullback into the EMA value zone.
* **Data Dashboard:** A bottom-right panel displaying the current Mode, Regime, Bias, and quantitative Confidence Score.
---
### **How to Read the Visuals**
#### **1. Background Colors (The Regime)**
* **Green Background:** Confirmed **Bullish Trend**. Only look for Longs.
* **Red Background:** Confirmed **Bearish Trend**. Only look for Shorts.
* **Gray Background:** **Neutral / Range**. The market is chopping or consolidating. Stand aside or trade strictly mean-reversion.
#### **2. Candle Colors (Vector Volume)**
* **Green/Red Borders:** Normal volume.
* **Blue / Fuchsia:** **High Volume (1.2x Average)**. Indicates institutional interest or a breakout.
* **Lime / Bright Red:** **Climactic Volume (1.8x Average)**. Indicates potential exhaustion or a stopping volume event.
#### **3. The EMAs**
* **Fast/Slow Lines:** Show the immediate trend direction.
* **Gray/White Lines:** The 200 and 800 EMAs. These act as major support/resistance levels and define the "Big Picture" bias.
* **Lime Line (Intraday Only):** The VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price).
---
### **How to Use This Indicator**
**Step 1: Check the Regime**
Look at the background color and the Dashboard panel. Is the Trend Strength "Strong" or "Very Strong"?
* *Rule:* Do not take trend-following trades if the Regime is "Range/Neutral."
**Step 2: Check the Confidence**
The dashboard calculates a score from 0 to 100.
* **High Confidence (>67):** All systems go. Alignment of RSI, Volume, and Trend.
* **Medium Confidence (34-66):** Caution warranted. Usually implies divergence in RSI or low volume.
* **Low Confidence (<34):** The trend is weak or failing.
**Step 3: Wait for the Setup (The Arrows)**
The indicator looks for pullbacks into the "Value Zone" (the space between the Fast and Slow EMA).
* **Triangle Up (L):** Appears when price pulls back into the zone during a Bull trend, then bounces out with volume confirmation.
* **Triangle Down (S):** Appears when price rallies into the zone during a Bear trend, then rejects lower.
---
### **Settings & Customization**
* **Mode:** Default is "Auto," but you can force "Intraday" or "Swing" manually.
* **Intraday Style:** Choose between "Aggressive" (9 EMA / 30 EMA) for scalping or "Conservative" (20 EMA / 50 EMA) for day trading.
* **ADX Threshold:** Adjusts how strict the trend filter is (Default: 20).
* **Visual Toggles:** Turn off/on the Panel, Background shading, or Vector candles to clean up your chart.
### **Alerts**
This script comes with built-in alert conditions for:
1. **Bullish Regime Start**
2. **Bearish Regime Start**
3. **High-Confidence Setup Detected**
HTF/CTF High/Low Mitigation with SignalsHTF/CTF High/Low Mitigation with Signals Indicator
Overview
HTF/CTF High/Low Mitigation with Signals (shortened as "H/L Signals+") is an advanced overlay indicator for TradingView, designed to identify and visualize higher timeframe (HTF) and current timeframe (CTF) swing highs/lows, track their mitigation, and generate filtered buy/sell signals using an EMA ribbon trend filter. It incorporates automated trade simulation with risk/reward (RR) visualization, position sizing based on user-defined risk, and a statistics table for performance evaluation. This tool is ideal for multi-timeframe traders focusing on swing trading, breakout strategies, or trend reversals across assets like forex, futures, metals (e.g., XAU/USD, XAG/USD), stocks, or cryptocurrencies.
The "meshup" (mashup) integrates several complementary elements: Multi-timeframe swing level detection (HTF for broader structure, CTF for finer details) with mitigation logic ensures signals align with market structure breaks; an EMA ribbon provides a dynamic trend bias to filter counter-trend trades; risk management automates position sizing and RR calculations for disciplined trading; and built-in backtesting stats offer quick insights into hypothetical performance. This combination reduces noise from isolated indicators—e.g., raw swings can be choppy, EMAs alone lag structure, and manual RR is error-prone—creating a cohesive system for spotting high-probability setups where structure, trend, and risk align. By meshing these, it aims to enhance decision-making in trending or ranging markets, though it's reactive and best used with confirmation. Note: This is a technical tool for educational purposes only; it does not provide financial advice, guarantees of profitability, or trading recommendations. Past performance is not indicative of future results, and users should backtest thoroughly on their specific assets/timeframes, in compliance with TradingView's house rules.
Key Features
• HTF Swing Levels: Detects and draws session highs/lows from a user-selected higher timeframe (e.g., Daily), extends lines until mitigated (by wick or body close), with alerts on mitigation.
• CTF Swing Levels: Identifies local swing highs/lows on the chart timeframe using a pivot candle formation (default 5-candle), with separate limits for unmitigated/mitigated lines.
• EMA Ribbon: A three-EMA system (fast 8, mid 13, slow 21) with gradient fills (green for bullish, red for bearish) to visualize trend strength and filter signals.
• Signal Generation: Buy/sell labels ("BUY"/"SELL") triggered post-mitigation when price aligns with EMA trend (e.g., above slow EMA with stacked bulls for buys).
• Trade Simulation & Risk Management: On signals, calculates stop-loss (SL) from recent extremes, position size based on fixed risk amount (e.g., $100 per trade, adjusted for asset type like futures point value or forex lots), and full take-profit (TP) at user-defined RR level (1-5). Draws RR boxes for visuals.
• Statistics Table: Displays total trades, wins/losses, win rate (%), net R-return, and max consecutive losses in a top-right table.
• Alerts: Customizable alerts for HTF mitigations and new trades (including entry, SL, TP, size).
• Visual Customizations: Toggle lines/ribbon/boxes, adjust colors/styles/widths for unmitigated/mitigated lines (HTF/CTF), min box width.
• Performance Optimization: Automatically cleans up excess lines to stay within max limits (e.g., 15 unmitigated HTF, 5 CTF).
How It Works
• HTF Logic: On new HTF bars (via time(htf_timeframe)), captures session high/low and draws extendable lines. Lines extend rightward until mitigated (high/close > high level for highs, low/close < low level for lows, toggle wick/body). Mitigation sets "waiting" flags for signals and triggers alerts.
• CTF Logic: Scans for pivot highs/lows using a user-defined candle count (e.g., 2 left/right for 5-candle swings). Draws and extends lines similarly, mitigating on wick touches, with separate styles for mitigated (e.g., dotted gray).
• EMA Ribbon Logic: Computes 8/13/21 EMAs; fills mid-slow and fast-mid with bullish green (close > slow EMA) or bearish red gradients.
• Signal Conditions: Post-mitigation (waiting_for_buy/sell true), checks EMA stack—buys require close > slow, fast > mid > slow; sells require close < slow, fast < mid < slow. Signals only on confirmed bars.
• Trade Execution: On signal, sets entry at close, scans back to mitigation bar for tightest SL (lowest low for buys, highest high for sells). Calculates risk points (entry - SL for buys), then position size via helper function (asset-specific: e.g., XAU *100, futures *pointvalue, forex 100000pointvalue). Sets full TP at entry ± (risk * full_tp_level). Draws risk/reward boxes (e.g., long: dark risk below entry, blue reward above) with RR and size text. Alerts with trade details.
• Trade Management: Monitors for SL hit (low <= SL for longs) or TP hit (high >= TP for longs); updates stats (wins if TP, losses if SL, tracks consec losses, net R as +full_tp_level or -1). Places summary label ("Hit TP5 (Win)" or "Stopped Out (Loss)").
• Cleanup: Counts unmitigated/mitigated lines; deletes oldest excess to respect max limits (e.g., max_lines_input=15 for HTF unmitigated, max_mit_lines_ctf=5 for CTF mitigated).
• Why This Meshup?: Standalone tools often fall short—HTF swings ignore local noise, but without CTF, miss entries; EMAs filter trends but overlook structure; manual RR lacks automation. Meshing them creates a "mitigation-to-signal" flow: HTF/CTF provide structural context (e.g., BOS/CHOCH), EMA ensures trend alignment (reducing whipsaws), and RR simulation adds practical risk control with stats for optimization. This holistic approach potentially improves edge in structure-based trading, especially in volatile markets, by combining macro/micro analysis with quantifiable risk—though it may lag in ranges or require tuning.
All logic uses arrays for line management, barstate.isconfirmed for reliability, and syminfo for asset-specific sizing. No repainting, but historical trades simulate based on chart data.

Usage Tips
• Multi-Timeframe Strategy: Use HTF (e.g., D1) for major levels, CTF for entries. Signals post-mitigation with EMA filter—enter on "BUY"/"SELL" labels, use boxes for RR visualization.
• Risk Management: Set risk_amount_per_trade to 1-2% of capital; adjust full_tp_level for strategy (e.g., 3 for conservative). Position size auto-adapts to asset (e.g., smaller for high-vol like XAU).
• Customization: Enable wick mitigation for aggressive setups; increase max lines in trending markets. Tune EMAs for asset (shorter for crypto).
• Alerts Integration: Use for notifications on mitigations or trades; messages include all details for quick action.
• Stats Analysis: Table shows hypothetical results—use for optimization (e.g., aim for >50% win rate, low consec losses). Reset on chart reload.
• Chart Compatibility: Best on candlestick charts; test on lower TFs with higher HTF for confluence.
Limitations
• Reactive Signals: Waits for mitigation + EMA alignment, so may miss early reversals or lag in fast markets.
• Chop in Ranges: Frequent mitigations without trend can generate false signals; EMA helps but not foolproof.
• Simulation Only: Trades are backtested on visible data—no live execution; stats assume full TP or SL hits, ignoring partials or slippage.
• Line Limits: Caps at user max to prevent overload; oldest deleted first.
• Asset Specificity: Position sizing tailored to forex/futures/metals; may need tweaks for others.
• Disclaimer: For informational use only. Trading involves risk of loss; results vary by market, timeframe, and settings. Consult professionals and backtest extensively. No profitability claims per TradingView rules.
EdgeFlow: Momentum RibbonThought for 11s
EdgeFlow: Momentum Ribbon Indicator
Overview
EdgeFlow: Momentum Ribbon is a versatile momentum-based trading indicator for TradingView, developed by @jay555b on X. This overlay tool combines a simple EMA ribbon for trend identification with a selectable oscillator (Stochastic RSI or Regular Stochastic) for detecting overbought/oversold conditions, all enhanced by higher timeframe (HTF) logic and price confirmation for robust entry signals. It's designed to help traders spot potential momentum shifts and trend continuations in various markets and timeframes, such as stocks, forex, or cryptocurrencies.
The "meshup" (mashup) of components—EMA crossovers, oscillator extremes, HTF filtering, and strict price-based confirmation—creates a multi-layered system that reduces false signals common in single-indicator strategies. EMAs provide the core trend bias, the oscillator adds momentum sensitivity, HTF ensures alignment with broader market structure, and the price close condition (e.g., closing above previous high for longs) acts as a final filter for conviction. This integration aims to capture "edge flows" where momentum aligns with trend, making it suitable for swing trading, scalping on lower timeframes, or confirming entries in trend-following systems. Note: This is a technical tool for educational purposes only; it does not provide financial advice, guarantees of profitability, or trading recommendations. Past performance is not indicative of future results, and users should backtest and use at their own risk, in compliance with TradingView's house rules.
Key Features
• EMA Ribbon: A visual band between fast (9-period) and slow (21-period) EMAs, filled green for bullish trends (fast > slow) or red for bearish, offering an at-a-glance trend overview.
• Selectable Oscillator: Choose between Stochastic RSI (for RSI-smoothed momentum) or Regular Stochastic (matching TradingView's default formula), with customizable lengths and smoothing.
• Setup and Confirmation Signals: Plots tiny squares for "setups" (oscillator crosses at extremes aligned with EMA trend) and triangles with "L"/"S" labels for confirmed entries (setup + HTF close + price break).
• Higher Timeframe (HTF) Integration: Processes logic on a user-defined HTF (or chart TF if blank), with a "max opposite-stack bars" tolerance to allow minor counter-trend bars before disarming signals.
• Persistent Arming Logic: Setups "arm" the system, persisting until confirmed or invalidated, preventing rapid flipping in choppy markets.
• Alerts: Built-in conditions for bullish/bearish setups and confirmations, with clean messages for easy integration into TradingView alerts.
How It Works
• EMA Trend Logic: The fast EMA (default 9) is compared to the slow EMA (default 21) to determine bullish (fast > slow) or bearish trends. This forms the ribbon's color and biases all signals—bullish setups require a bullish EMA, and vice versa.
• Oscillator Calculation:
o Stochastic RSI: Computes RSI (default 14 on close), then applies Stochastic (default length 8, %K smoothing 3, %D smoothing 3) to it, creating a bounded oscillator sensitive to relative strength momentum.
o Regular Stochastic: Uses high/low/close sources (defaults unchanged for accuracy), with %K length (8), %K smoothing (3), and %D smoothing (3), exactly matching TradingView's built-in Stochastic for consistency.
o Shared levels: Overbought (80) for bearish setups (crossover above), Oversold (20) for bullish setups (crossunder below).
• Setup Conditions: A bullish setup occurs on an oversold crossunder during a bullish EMA trend; bearish on overbought crossover during bearish EMA. These arm the system persistently.
• Confirmation Logic: On HTF bar close, confirm if armed, trend-aligned, within max opposite bars (default 0 for strictness), and price confirms (close > previous high for long, close < previous low for short). This meshup filters noise: EMAs ensure trend context, oscillator spots extremes, HTF adds multi-TF confluence, and price break demands immediate strength.
• Projection and Plotting: Signals project onto the chart's TF from HTF, plotting only on new HTF bars for clarity. Ribbon fill uses semi-transparent green/red based on trend.
• Why This Meshup?: Isolated indicators often fail in ranging or volatile markets—e.g., EMAs lag, oscillators whipsaw. By meshing them:
o EMAs provide directional bias to avoid counter-trend trades.
o Oscillator adds timing at extremes, catching pullbacks in trends.
o HTF reduces lower-TF noise, ensuring signals align with bigger-picture structure.
o Price confirmation (close beyond prior bar's extreme) adds a candlestick-like filter for momentum conviction, mimicking breakout strategies. This creates a "flow" of edges: trend + momentum + structure + price action, potentially improving signal quality over standalone tools. It's inspired by classic momentum strategies but customized for modern volatility.
All calculations use request.security for HTF data with lookahead off, ensuring real-time accuracy without repainting.

Usage Tips
• Trend Trading: Use the ribbon color as your primary filter—enter longs only in green, shorts in red. Confirmed triangles ("L"/"S") signal entries; setups (squares) as early warnings.
• Timeframe Strategy: Set HTF to 1-2 levels higher (e.g., 15m chart with 1H HTF) for confluence. Increase max opposite bars in trending markets to catch pullbacks.
• Oscillator Choice: Stochastic RSI for smoother, RSI-biased signals in volatile assets; Regular Stochastic for price-based purity in ranging markets.
• Alert Integration: Set up TradingView alerts for setups (potential watches) and confirmations (entries). Messages are concise for notifications.
• Combination Ideas: Pair with volume indicators or support/resistance for exits. Backtest on your asset/timeframe to optimize lengths.
• Chart Compatibility: Works on any chart type; signals plot small to avoid obstruction.
Limitations
• Reactive Nature: Signals confirm after HTF close and price break, so they may lag in fast markets. Not ideal for ultra-short scalps.
• False Signals in Ranges: Like all trend-momentum tools, performs best in trending conditions; chop can produce disarmed setups without confirmations.
• No Repainting: Uses lookahead off, but HTF projection means signals appear on new bars—test live.
• Customization Risks: Changing source inputs (e.g., in Regular Stochastic) may break accuracy; stick to tooltips.
• Disclaimer: This indicator is for informational use only. Trading involves risk; consult professionals. Abiding by TradingView rules, no claims of profitability are made—results vary by market conditions and user strategy.
