Liquidity Grab Strategy SuvorovLiquidity grab strategy
Description:
This indicator is built around the Liquidity Grab Strategy, which identifies and reacts to stop hunts and false breakouts at key swing highs and lows. It detects where liquidity is likely to be resting (e.g., above highs or below lows) and provides trade signals when that liquidity is taken and price begins to reverse.
Core Features:
Liquidity Detection: Automatically identifies and marks key swing highs and lows where stop-losses are likely to accumulate.
Entry Signals: Generates BUY/SELL signals after a liquidity sweep and a confirmed reversal — based on price action, volume, or structure shifts.
Stop Loss & Take Profit Zones: Visualizes stop-loss just beyond the liquidity wick and take-profit near the next major structure point, with configurable Risk/Reward ratios.
False Signal Filters: Optional filters based on volume spikes, RSI divergence, or market structure confirmation.
Multi-Timeframe Logic: Supports separate timeframes for structure detection and signal confirmation (e.g., structure on 1H, entry on 5m).
Swing Failure Pattern SuvorovIndicator: Logic-based Swing Failure Pattern (SFP)
What is the logic of my indicator based on and what makes it unique:
1. The indicator can calculate extreme candles that close with huge shadows and a small body and it works on any timeframe.
2. The indicator analyzes the volumes on which the desired bar was closed. This function is customizable. That is, you can build a search for signals according to your trading strategy, based on the number of volumes. What does this mean - you select the number of previous bars where the indicator calculates the average value and based on these numbers, you can set up: how many times the desired candle should be larger than the previous average volume.
3. Since SFP is based on the removal of important liquidity, the search for such situations occurs from swing structures (swing high/low). When these parameters are found on the chart (on history), the indicator draws the situation and shows where important liquidity was removed and why the trading situation appeared right now.
4. The indicator gives recommendations on possible takes and stops.
The structure of takes has a built-in logic for searching for previous swings to remove liquidity, as well as searching for imbalances to cover them (50 and 100%).
5. For TP (Take Profit): there are 3 TPthat can be adjusted to your trading strategy (Risk/Profit). For example: you always trade from 2 to 1 on the 1st Take, 3 to 1 on the second, 5 to 1 on the third: you can set all this in the indicator and all your targets will be detected by the indicator, taking into account the logic of searching for important ranges. If, for example, in your 3 to 1 range there are no important zones for TP, then the indicator writes that NaN (not found).
6. The indicator works on any timeframe.
7. The indicator has a built-in RSI logic, which comes as an additional function to the indicator. If this function is enabled, then trading situations are detected only when there is a divergence (from the swing point to the extreme bar that has formed).

VMS Momentum Trend Matrix Indicator [09.15 to 15.30]VMS Momentum Trend Matrix Indicator - Detailed Explanation
🎯 Overview & Core Philosophy
This is a multi-dimensional trading and a multi-confirmation system that combines 4 independent analytical approaches into one unified framework. The indicator operates on the principle of "consensus trading" - where signals are only considered reliable when multiple systems confirm each other. The system is designed for 9:15 AM to 3:30 PM trading sessions (Indian Market) with dynamic support/resistance levels.
Five Pillars of Analysis:
1. Trend Matrix – Multiple indicator voting system
2. Momentum Suite – Multiple Hybrid oscillator
3. Volume Analysis - Buy/sell pressure quantification
4. Key Level Identification - Dynamic support/resistance
5. EMA Trend: Indicates the overall long-term direction.
📊 DASHBOARD INTERPRETATION - ROW BY ROW
ROW 1: Indicator Name and Cell background colour changes with Trend Matrix
ROW 2: EMA ANALYSIS (It analyses independently and does not combine this analysis with the Combined Analysis and Trading View. Background Colour on price chart is based on this)
Purpose: Long-term trend identification using Exponential Moving Averages
What to Watch:
• Major Trend: Overall market direction (Bullish/Bearish/Neutral)
• Bullish Condition: All EMAs aligned upward
• Bearish Condition: All EMAs aligned downward
• Neutral: Mixed alignment
Trading Significance:
• Trading Condition: Current bias based on EMA alignment
• Bullish Market: Focus on LONG positions only
• Bearish Market: Focus on SHORT positions only
• Neutral Market: Wait for clearer direction
ROW 3-4: KEY LEVELS
Purpose: Dynamic support and resistance identification
Levels to Monitor:
• VMS Line-1 (Support): Dynamic Support for long positions
• VMS Line-2 (Resistance): Dynamic Resistance for short positions
• Up/Down: Daily base levels from opening price calculations
• Up: Daily support level based on opening price
• Down: Daily resistance level based on opening price
How Levels Work:
• Wait for Line-1 and 2 Crossing
• In the Upward movement, Line-1 will move with the price, and Line-2 will be moved as a straight line
• In the Downward movement, Line-2 will move with the price, and Line-2 will be moved as a straight line
• Provide clear entry/exit points
• If the price is between these levels, it is mostly a sideways market. After the Upward movement, if the price crosses Line-1 and other bearish conditions are supported, a short position can be taken. And in the Downward movement, it is the reverse condition.
• If the price is above the up level, it can be considered as bullish and below as bearish
ROW 5-6: VOLUME ANALYSIS
Purpose: Measure buying vs selling pressure
Key Metrics:
• Total Buy Volume: Cumulative buying pressure
• Total Sell Volume: Cumulative selling pressure
• Bullish Candles: Number of up-candles in session
• Bearish Candles: Number of down-candles in session
Interpretation:
• Buy Volume > Sell Volume: Bullish sentiment
• Sell Volume > Buy Volume: Bearish sentiment
• Bullish Candles Dominating: Upward momentum
• Bearish Candles Dominating: Downward momentum

This system works best when you wait for all conditions to align. Patience is key - only trade when all systems confirm the same direction with adequate strength. The multiple confirmation layers significantly increase the probability of success but reduce trading frequency.
RSI Momentum ScalperOverview
The "RSI Momentum Scalper" is a Pine Script v5 strategy crafted for trading highly volatile markets, with a special focus on newly listed cryptocurrencies. This strategy harnesses the Relative Strength Index (RSI) alongside volume analysis and momentum thresholds to pinpoint short-term trading opportunities. It supports both long and short trades, managed with customizable take profit, stop loss, and trailing stop levels, which are visually plotted on the chart for easy tracking.
Why I Created This Strategy
I developed the "RSI Momentum Scalper" because I was seeking a reliable trading strategy tailored to newly listed, highly volatile cryptocurrencies. These assets often experience rapid price fluctuations, rendering traditional strategies less effective. I aimed to create a tool that could exploit momentum and volume spikes while managing risk through adaptable exit parameters. This strategy is designed to address that need, offering a flexible approach for traders in dynamic crypto markets.
How It Works
The strategy utilizes RSI to identify momentum shifts, combined with volume confirmation, to trigger long or short entries. Trades are controlled with take profit, stop loss, and trailing stop levels, which adjust dynamically as the price moves in your favor. The trailing stop helps lock in profits, while the plotted exit levels provide clear visual cues for trade management.
Customizable Settings
The script is highly customizable, allowing you to adjust it to various market conditions and trading styles. Here’s a brief overview of the key settings:
Trade Mode: Select "Both," "Long Only," or "Short Only" to determine the trade direction.
(Default: Both)
RSI Length: Sets the lookback period for the RSI calculation (2 to 30).
(Default: 8)
A shorter length increases RSI sensitivity, suitable for volatile assets.
RSI Overbought: Defines the upper RSI threshold (60 to 99) for short entries.
(Default: 90)
Higher values signal stronger overbought conditions.
RSI Oversold: Defines the lower RSI threshold (1 to 40) for long entries.
(Default: 10)
Lower values indicate stronger oversold conditions.
RSI Momentum Threshold: Sets the minimum RSI momentum change (1 to 15) to trigger entries.
(Default: 14)
Adjusts the sensitivity to price momentum.
Volume Multiplier: Multiplies the volume moving average to filter high-volume bars (1.0 to 3.0).
(Default: 1)
Higher values require stronger volume confirmation.
Volume MA Length: Sets the lookback period for the volume moving average (5 to 50).
(Default: 13)
Influences the volume trend sensitivity.
Take Profit %: Sets the profit target as a percentage of the entry price (0.1 to 10.0).
(Default: 4.15)
Determines when to close a winning trade.
Stop Loss %: Sets the loss limit as a percentage of the entry price (0.1 to 6.0).
(Default: 1.85)
Protects against significant losses.
Trailing Stop %: Sets the trailing stop distance as a percentage (0.1 to 4.0).
(Default: 2.55)
Locks in profits as the price moves favorably.
Visual Features
Exit Levels: Take profit (green), fixed stop loss (red), and trailing stop (orange) levels are plotted when in a position.
Performance Table: Displays win rate, total trades, and net profit in the top-right corner.
How to Use
Add the strategy to your chart in TradingView.
Adjust the input settings based on the cryptocurrency and timeframe you’re trading.
Monitor the plotted exit levels for trade management.
Use the performance table to assess the strategy’s performance over time.
Notes
Test the strategy on a demo account or with historical data before live trading.
The strategy is optimized for short-term scalping; adjust settings for longer timeframes if needed.
Dark Pool Estimate Signal TrackerDark Pool Estimate Signal — Detect Potential Institutional Activity
Overview
The Dark Pool Signal v1.6 indicator is designed to detect unusual trading activity near VWAP zones, which can be associated with institutional dark pool transactions. By combining volume spikes, VWAP proximity, and optional trend filters, it provides clear visual cues of potential hidden accumulation or distribution zones.
Disclaimer: This script is for informational and educational purposes only. It does not constitute financial advice. All trading involves risk. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
🔍 Core Logic
This indicator identifies potential off-exchange activity by analyzing three key factors:
Unusual Volume Spikes: Highlights bars where the current volume significantly exceeds its moving average by a user-defined multiplier.
VWAP Proximity: Triggers when the price stays within a volatility-adjusted range (ATR-based) of the VWAP, a common characteristic of algorithmic execution.
Trend Confirmation: An optional EMA filter helps align signals with the broader market direction.
Accumulation Detection: Counts repeated signals within a lookback period to identify persistent institutional buying or selling pressure.
The result is a set of visual and alert signals indicating possible institutional footprints.
🧩 Features
Dynamic VWAP Range (ATR-based): Automatically adjusts VWAP proximity sensitivity based on current market volatility.
Multi-tiered Signal Strength: Differentiates between Normal, Strong, and Accumulated signals to visualize the intensity of activity.
Non-Repainting Confirmation: Signals are confirmed only on bar close to ensure they do not repaint.
Language Support: Dual-language display (English / Korean).
Customizable Visualization: Easily adjust label size, color transparency, offset, and the duration of highlighted zones.
Smart Alert System (v1.6): Provides comprehensive alert() and alertcondition() calls for real-time push notifications.
Recommended Timeframe Notice (v1.6): Displays a small on-chart note suggesting optimal timeframes for analysis.
🕒 Recommended Timeframes
Type Recommended Use Description
1-Hour (default) Primary Analysis Offers a good balance between signal clarity and noise reduction. Ideal for most equities and ETFs.
30-Minute Short-term Confirmation Useful for intraday analysis and refining entry/exit points.
Daily Macro View Helps identify long-term institutional positioning and potential trend reversal zones.
< 15-Minute Experimental May generate excessive noise due to market micro-volatility. Not recommended for primary analysis.
💡 Tip: Combine 1H detection with Daily chart confirmation for a more robust, dual-layer view of institutional flow.
📊 Visualization
Purple Diamonds: Strong or Normal Buy signals
Red Diamonds: Strong or Normal Sell signals
Translucent Boxes: Highlight the estimated duration of dark pool activity.
Optional Labels: Display volume, VWAP delta, and signal strength for detailed analysis.
All visual components can be toggled on or off in the settings.
⚙️ Alert System
Create alerts for each specific signal type directly from the chart's alert menu or your script settings.
⚡ Strong Buy/Sell
📡 Accumulated Buy/Sell
⬆️ Normal Buy/Sell
➖ Neutral Activity (Volume spike near VWAP without clear direction)
Set alert frequency to Once Per Bar Close for confirmed, non-repainting signals.
🧭 How to Use
Add the indicator to your chart.
Select your preferred language and timeframe.
Customize visualization and alert settings to your preference.
Observe how the combination of volume + VWAP + trend reveals potential accumulation or distribution zones.
Use alerts to monitor for significant institutional activity in real-time.
🧠 Important Notes
This indicator is non-repainting. Signals are confirmed at the close of each bar.
It is intended for analytical and educational use, not as a direct trading system.
It works across equities, ETFs, and crypto, but volume data reliability can vary by exchange. Always confirm signals with your own strategy and risk management.
Delta Volume Signals by Claudio [hapharmonic]Modifications:
Percentages without decimals.
I replaced the 'Current Volume' row with two boxes: "Δ Vol" and its value, which changes color depending on the direction of the bearish/bullish candle.
Signals can change color in the settings.
Box spacing so the table doesn't constantly change size.
To be modified:
The Net Volume sign shouldn't change to negative when the candle is red.
If anyone does this, let me know...

BOCS Channel Scalper Indicator - Mean Reversion Alert System# BOCS Channel Scalper Indicator - Mean Reversion Alert System
## WHAT THIS INDICATOR DOES:
This is a mean reversion trading indicator that identifies consolidation channels through volatility analysis and generates alert signals when price enters entry zones near channel boundaries. **This indicator version is designed for manual trading with comprehensive alert functionality.** Unlike automated strategies, this tool sends notifications (via popup, email, SMS, or webhook) when trading opportunities occur, allowing you to manually review and execute trades. The system assumes price will revert to the channel mean, identifying scalp opportunities as price reaches extremes and preparing to bounce back toward center.
## INDICATOR VS STRATEGY - KEY DISTINCTION:
**This is an INDICATOR with alerts, not an automated strategy.** It does not execute trades automatically. Instead, it:
- Displays visual signals on your chart when entry conditions are met
- Sends customizable alerts to your device/email when opportunities arise
- Shows TP/SL levels for reference but does not place orders
- Requires you to manually enter and exit positions based on signals
- Works with all TradingView subscription levels (alerts included on all plans)
**For automated trading with backtesting**, use the strategy version. For manual control with notifications, use this indicator version.
## ALERT CAPABILITIES:
This indicator includes four distinct alert conditions that can be configured independently:
**1. New Channel Formation Alert**
- Triggers when a fresh BOCS channel is identified
- Message: "New BOCS channel formed - potential scalp setup ready"
- Use this to prepare for upcoming trading opportunities
**2. Long Scalp Entry Alert**
- Fires when price touches the long entry zone
- Message includes current price, calculated TP, and SL levels
- Notification example: "LONG scalp signal at 24731.75 | TP: 24743.2 | SL: 24716.5"
**3. Short Scalp Entry Alert**
- Fires when price touches the short entry zone
- Message includes current price, calculated TP, and SL levels
- Notification example: "SHORT scalp signal at 24747.50 | TP: 24735.0 | SL: 24762.75"
**4. Any Entry Signal Alert**
- Combined alert for both long and short entries
- Use this if you want a single alert stream for all opportunities
- Message: "BOCS Scalp Entry: at "
**Setting Up Alerts:**
1. Add indicator to chart and configure settings
2. Click the Alert (⏰) button in TradingView toolbar
3. Select "BOCS Channel Scalper" from condition dropdown
4. Choose desired alert type (Long, Short, Any, or Channel Formation)
5. Set "Once Per Bar Close" to avoid false signals during bar formation
6. Configure delivery method (popup, email, webhook for automation platforms)
7. Save alert - it will fire automatically when conditions are met
**Alert Message Placeholders:**
Alerts use TradingView's dynamic placeholder system:
- {{ticker}} = Symbol name (e.g., NQ1!)
- {{close}} = Current price at signal
- {{plot_1}} = Calculated take profit level
- {{plot_2}} = Calculated stop loss level
These placeholders populate automatically, creating detailed notification messages without manual configuration.
## KEY DIFFERENCE FROM ORIGINAL BOCS:
**This indicator is designed for traders seeking higher trade frequency.** The original BOCS indicator trades breakouts OUTSIDE channels, waiting for price to escape consolidation before entering. This scalper version trades mean reversion INSIDE channels, entering when price reaches channel extremes and betting on a bounce back to center. The result is significantly more trading opportunities:
- **Original BOCS**: 1-3 signals per channel (only on breakout)
- **Scalper Indicator**: 5-15+ signals per channel (every touch of entry zones)
- **Trade Style**: Mean reversion vs trend following
- **Hold Time**: Seconds to minutes vs minutes to hours
- **Best Markets**: Ranging/choppy conditions vs trending breakouts
This makes the indicator ideal for active day traders who want continuous alert opportunities within consolidation zones rather than waiting for breakout confirmation. However, increased signal frequency also means higher potential commission costs and requires disciplined trade selection when acting on alerts.
## TECHNICAL METHODOLOGY:
### Price Normalization Process:
The indicator normalizes price data to create consistent volatility measurements across different instruments and price levels. It calculates the highest high and lowest low over a user-defined lookback period (default 100 bars). Current close price is normalized using: (close - lowest_low) / (highest_high - lowest_low), producing values between 0 and 1 for standardized volatility analysis.
### Volatility Detection:
A 14-period standard deviation is applied to the normalized price series to measure price deviation from the mean. Higher standard deviation values indicate volatility expansion; lower values indicate consolidation. The indicator uses ta.highestbars() and ta.lowestbars() to identify when volatility peaks and troughs occur over the detection period (default 14 bars).
### Channel Formation Logic:
When volatility crosses from a high level to a low level (ta.crossover(upper, lower)), a consolidation phase begins. The indicator tracks the highest and lowest prices during this period, which become the channel boundaries. Minimum duration of 10+ bars is required to filter out brief volatility spikes. Channels are rendered as box objects with defined upper and lower boundaries, with colored zones indicating entry areas.
### Entry Signal Generation:
The indicator uses immediate touch-based entry logic. Entry zones are defined as a percentage from channel edges (default 20%):
- **Long Entry Zone**: Bottom 20% of channel (bottomBound + channelRange × 0.2)
- **Short Entry Zone**: Top 20% of channel (topBound - channelRange × 0.2)
Long signals trigger when candle low touches or enters the long entry zone. Short signals trigger when candle high touches or enters the short entry zone. Visual markers (arrows and labels) appear on chart, and configured alerts fire immediately.
### Cooldown Filter:
An optional cooldown period (measured in bars) prevents alert spam by enforcing minimum spacing between consecutive signals. If cooldown is set to 3 bars, no new long alert will fire until 3 bars after the previous long signal. Long and short cooldowns are tracked independently, allowing both directions to signal within the same period.
### ATR Volatility Filter:
The indicator includes a multi-timeframe ATR filter to avoid alerts during low-volatility conditions. Using request.security(), it fetches ATR values from a specified timeframe (e.g., 1-minute ATR while viewing 5-minute charts). The filter compares current ATR to a user-defined minimum threshold:
- If ATR ≥ threshold: Alerts enabled
- If ATR < threshold: No alerts fire
This prevents notifications during dead zones where mean reversion is unreliable due to insufficient price movement. The ATR status is displayed in the info table with visual confirmation (✓ or ✗).
### Take Profit Calculation:
Two TP methods are available:
**Fixed Points Mode**:
- Long TP = Entry + (TP_Ticks × syminfo.mintick)
- Short TP = Entry - (TP_Ticks × syminfo.mintick)
**Channel Percentage Mode**:
- Long TP = Entry + (ChannelRange × TP_Percent)
- Short TP = Entry - (ChannelRange × TP_Percent)
Default 50% targets the channel midline, a natural mean reversion target. These levels are displayed as visual lines with labels and included in alert messages for reference when manually placing orders.
### Stop Loss Placement:
Stop losses are calculated just outside the channel boundary by a user-defined tick offset:
- Long SL = ChannelBottom - (SL_Offset_Ticks × syminfo.mintick)
- Short SL = ChannelTop + (SL_Offset_Ticks × syminfo.mintick)
This logic assumes channel breaks invalidate the mean reversion thesis. SL levels are displayed on chart and included in alert notifications as suggested stop placement.
### Channel Breakout Management:
Channels are removed when price closes more than 10 ticks outside boundaries. This tolerance prevents premature channel deletion from minor breaks or wicks, allowing the mean reversion setup to persist through small boundary violations.
## INPUT PARAMETERS:
### Channel Settings:
- **Nested Channels**: Allow multiple overlapping channels vs single channel
- **Normalization Length**: Lookback for high/low calculation (1-500, default 100)

- **Colored entry zones** labeled "LONG ZONE ▲" and "SHORT ZONE ▼"
- **Entry signal arrows** below/above bars marking long/short alerts
- **TP/SL reference lines** with emoji labels (⊕ Entry, 🎯 TP, 🛑 SL)
- **Info table** showing channel status, last signal, entry/TP/SL prices, risk/reward ratio, and ATR filter status
- **Visual confirmation** when alerts fire via on-chart markers synchronized with notifications
## HOW TO USE:
### For 1-3 Minute Scalping with Alerts (NQ/ES):
- ATR Timeframe: "1" (1-minute)
- ATR Min Value: 10.0 (for NQ), adjust per instrument
- Entry Zone %: 20-25%
- TP Method: Fixed Points, 20-40 ticks
- SL Offset: 5-10 ticks
- Cooldown: 2-3 bars to reduce alert spam
- **Alert Setup**: Configure "Any Entry Signal" for combined long/short notifications
- **Execution**: When alert fires, verify chart visuals, then manually place limit order at entry zone with provided TP/SL levels
### For 5-15 Minute Day Trading with Alerts:
- ATR Timeframe: "5" or match chart
- ATR Min Value: Adjust to instrument (test 8-15 for NQ)
- Entry Zone %: 20-30%
- TP Method: % of Channel, 40-60%
- SL Offset: 5-10 ticks
- Cooldown: 3-5 bars
- **Alert Setup**: Configure separate "Long Scalp Entry" and "Short Scalp Entry" alerts if you trade directionally based on bias
- **Execution**: Review channel structure on alert, confirm ATR filter shows ✓, then enter manually
### For 30-60 Minute Swing Scalping with Alerts:
- ATR Timeframe: "15" or "30"
- ATR Min Value: Lower threshold for broader market
- Entry Zone %: 25-35%
- TP Method: % of Channel, 50-70%
- SL Offset: 10-15 ticks
- Cooldown: 5+ bars or disable
- **Alert Setup**: Use "New Channel Formation" to prepare for setups, then "Any Entry Signal" for execution alerts
- **Execution**: Larger timeframes allow more analysis time between alert and entry
### Webhook Integration for Semi-Automation:
- Configure alert webhook URL to connect with platforms like TradersPost, TradingView Paper Trading, or custom automation
- Alert message includes all necessary order parameters (direction, entry, TP, SL)
- Webhook receives structured data when signal fires
- External platform can auto-execute based on alert payload
- Still maintains manual oversight vs full strategy automation
## USAGE CONSIDERATIONS:
- **Manual Discipline Required**: Alerts provide opportunities but execution requires judgment. Not all alerts should be taken - consider market context, trend, and channel quality
- **Alert Timing**: Alerts fire on bar close by default. Ensure "Once Per Bar Close" is selected to avoid false signals during bar formation
- **Notification Delivery**: Mobile/email alerts may have 1-3 second delay. For immediate execution, use desktop popups or webhook automation
- **Cooldown Necessity**: Without cooldown, rapidly touching price action can generate excessive alerts. Start with 3-bar cooldown and adjust based on alert volume
- **ATR Filter Impact**: Enabling ATR filter dramatically reduces alert count but improves quality. Track filter status in info table to understand when you're receiving fewer alerts
- **Commission Awareness**: High alert frequency means high potential trade count. Calculate if your commission structure supports frequent scalping before acting on all alerts
## COMPATIBLE MARKETS:
Works on any instrument with price data including stock indices (NQ, ES, YM, RTY), individual stocks, forex pairs (EUR/USD, GBP/USD), cryptocurrency (BTC, ETH), and commodities. Volume-based features are not included in this indicator version. Multi-timeframe ATR requires higher-tier TradingView subscription for request.security() functionality on timeframes below chart timeframe.
## KNOWN LIMITATIONS:
- **Indicator does not execute trades** - alerts are informational only; you must manually place all orders
- **Alert delivery depends on TradingView infrastructure** - delays or failures possible during platform issues
- **No position tracking** - indicator doesn't know if you're in a trade; you must manage open positions independently
- **TP/SL levels are reference only** - you must manually set these on your broker platform; they are not live orders
- **Immediate touch entry can generate many alerts** in choppy zones without adequate cooldown
- **Channel deletion at 10-tick breaks** may be too aggressive or lenient depending on instrument tick size
- **ATR filter from lower timeframes** requires TradingView Premium/Pro+ for request.security()
- **Mean reversion logic fails** in strong breakout scenarios - alerts will fire but trades may hit stops
- **No partial closing capability** - full position management is manual; you determine scaling out
- **Alerts do not account for gaps** or overnight price changes; morning alerts may be stale
## RISK DISCLOSURE:
Trading involves substantial risk of loss. This indicator provides signals for educational and informational purposes only and does not constitute financial advice. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Mean reversion strategies can experience extended drawdowns during trending markets. Alerts are not guaranteed to be profitable and should be combined with your own analysis. Stop losses may not fill at intended levels during extreme volatility or gaps. Never trade with capital you cannot afford to lose. Consider consulting a licensed financial advisor before making trading decisions. Always verify alerts against current market conditions before executing trades manually.
## ACKNOWLEDGMENT & CREDITS:
This indicator is built upon the channel detection methodology created by **AlgoAlpha** in the "Smart Money Breakout Channels" indicator. Full credit and appreciation to AlgoAlpha for pioneering the normalized volatility approach to identifying consolidation patterns. The core channel formation logic using normalized price standard deviation is AlgoAlpha's original contribution to the TradingView community.
Enhancements to the original concept include: mean reversion entry logic (vs breakout), immediate touch-based alert generation, comprehensive alert condition system with customizable notifications, multi-timeframe ATR volatility filtering, cooldown period for alert management, dual TP methods (fixed points vs channel percentage), visual TP/SL reference lines, and real-time status monitoring table. This indicator version is specifically designed for manual traders who prefer alert-based decision making over automated execution.
BOCS Channel Scalper Strategy - Automated Mean Reversion System# BOCS Channel Scalper Strategy - Automated Mean Reversion System
## WHAT THIS STRATEGY DOES:
This is an automated mean reversion trading strategy that identifies consolidation channels through volatility analysis and executes scalp trades when price enters entry zones near channel boundaries. Unlike breakout strategies, this system assumes price will revert to the channel mean, taking profits as price bounces back from extremes. Position sizing is fully customizable with three methods: fixed contracts, percentage of equity, or fixed dollar amount. Stop losses are placed just outside channel boundaries with take profits calculated either as fixed points or as a percentage of channel range.
## KEY DIFFERENCE FROM ORIGINAL BOCS:
**This strategy is designed for traders seeking higher trade frequency.** The original BOCS indicator trades breakouts OUTSIDE channels, waiting for price to escape consolidation before entering. This scalper version trades mean reversion INSIDE channels, entering when price reaches channel extremes and betting on a bounce back to center. The result is significantly more trading opportunities:
- **Original BOCS**: 1-3 signals per channel (only on breakout)
- **Scalper Version**: 5-15+ signals per channel (every touch of entry zones)
- **Trade Style**: Mean reversion vs trend following
- **Hold Time**: Seconds to minutes vs minutes to hours
- **Best Markets**: Ranging/choppy conditions vs trending breakouts
This makes the scalper ideal for active day traders who want continuous opportunities within consolidation zones rather than waiting for breakout confirmation. However, increased trade frequency also means higher commission costs and requires tighter risk management.
## TECHNICAL METHODOLOGY:
### Price Normalization Process:
The strategy normalizes price data to create consistent volatility measurements across different instruments and price levels. It calculates the highest high and lowest low over a user-defined lookback period (default 100 bars). Current close price is normalized using: (close - lowest_low) / (highest_high - lowest_low), producing values between 0 and 1 for standardized volatility analysis.
### Volatility Detection:
A 14-period standard deviation is applied to the normalized price series to measure price deviation from the mean. Higher standard deviation values indicate volatility expansion; lower values indicate consolidation. The strategy uses ta.highestbars() and ta.lowestbars() to identify when volatility peaks and troughs occur over the detection period (default 14 bars).
### Channel Formation Logic:
When volatility crosses from a high level to a low level (ta.crossover(upper, lower)), a consolidation phase begins. The strategy tracks the highest and lowest prices during this period, which become the channel boundaries. Minimum duration of 10+ bars is required to filter out brief volatility spikes. Channels are rendered as box objects with defined upper and lower boundaries, with colored zones indicating entry areas.
### Entry Signal Generation:
The strategy uses immediate touch-based entry logic. Entry zones are defined as a percentage from channel edges (default 20%):
- **Long Entry Zone**: Bottom 20% of channel (bottomBound + channelRange × 0.2)
- **Short Entry Zone**: Top 20% of channel (topBound - channelRange × 0.2)
Long signals trigger when candle low touches or enters the long entry zone. Short signals trigger when candle high touches or enters the short entry zone. This captures mean reversion opportunities as price reaches channel extremes.
### Cooldown Filter:
An optional cooldown period (measured in bars) prevents signal spam by enforcing minimum spacing between consecutive signals. If cooldown is set to 3 bars, no new long signal will fire until 3 bars after the previous long signal. Long and short cooldowns are tracked independently, allowing both directions to signal within the same period.

Using request.security(), it fetches ATR values from a specified timeframe (e.g., 1-minute ATR while trading on 5-minute charts). The filter compares current ATR to a user-defined minimum threshold:
- If ATR ≥ threshold: Trading enabled
- If ATR < threshold: No signals fire
This prevents entries during dead zones where mean reversion is unreliable due to insufficient price movement.
### Take Profit Calculation:
Two TP methods are available:
**Fixed Points Mode**:
- Long TP = Entry + (TP_Ticks × syminfo.mintick)
- Short TP = Entry - (TP_Ticks × syminfo.mintick)
**Channel Percentage Mode**:
- Long TP = Entry + (ChannelRange × TP_Percent)
- Short TP = Entry - (ChannelRange × TP_Percent)
Default 50% targets the channel midline, a natural mean reversion target. Larger percentages aim for opposite channel edge.
### Stop Loss Placement:
Stop losses are placed just outside the channel boundary by a user-defined tick offset:
- Long SL = ChannelBottom - (SL_Offset_Ticks × syminfo.mintick)
- Short SL = ChannelTop + (SL_Offset_Ticks × syminfo.mintick)
This logic assumes channel breaks invalidate the mean reversion thesis. If price breaks through, the range is no longer valid and position exits.
### Trade Execution Logic:
When entry conditions are met (price in zone, cooldown satisfied, ATR filter passed, no existing position):
1. Calculate entry price at zone boundary
2. Calculate TP and SL based on selected method
3. Execute strategy.entry() with calculated position size
4. Place strategy.exit() with TP limit and SL stop orders
5. Update info table with active trade details
The strategy enforces one position at a time by checking strategy.position_size == 0 before entry.
### Channel Breakout Management:
Channels are removed when price closes more than 10 ticks outside boundaries. This tolerance prevents premature channel deletion from minor breaks or wicks, allowing the mean reversion setup to persist through small boundary violations.
### Position Sizing System:
Three methods calculate position size:
**Fixed Contracts**:
- Uses exact contract quantity specified in settings
- Best for futures traders (e.g., "trade 2 NQ contracts")
**Percentage of Equity**:
- position_size = (strategy.equity × equity_pct / 100) / close
- Dynamically scales with account growth
**Cash Amount**:
- position_size = cash_amount / close
- Maintains consistent dollar exposure regardless of price
## INPUT PARAMETERS:
### Position Sizing:
- **Position Size Type**: Choose Fixed Contracts, % of Equity, or Cash Amount
- **Number of Contracts**: Fixed quantity per trade (1-1000)
- **% of Equity**: Percentage of account to allocate (1-100%)
- **Cash Amount**: Dollar value per position ($100+)
### Channel Settings:
- **Nested Channels**: Allow multiple overlapping channels vs single channel
- **Normalization Length**: Lookback for high/low calculation (1-500, default 100)
- **Box Detection Length**: Period for volatility detection (1-100, default 14)
### Scalping Settings:
- **Enable Long Scalps**: Toggle long entries on/off
- **Enable Short Scalps**: Toggle short entries on/off
- **Entry Zone % from Edge**: Size of entry zone (5-50%, default 20%)
- **SL Offset (Ticks)**: Distance beyond channel for stop (1+, default 5)
- **Cooldown Period (Bars)**: Minimum spacing between signals (0 = no cooldown)
### ATR Filter:
- **Enable ATR Filter**: Toggle volatility filter on/off
- **ATR Timeframe**: Source timeframe for ATR (1, 5, 15, 60 min, etc.)
- **ATR Length**: Smoothing period (1-100, default 14)
- **Min ATR Value**: Threshold for trade enablement (0.1+, default 10.0)
### Take Profit Settings:
- **TP Method**: Choose Fixed Points or % of Channel
- **TP Fixed (Ticks)**: Static distance in ticks (1+, default 30)
- **TP % of Channel**: Dynamic target as channel percentage (10-100%, default 50%)
### Appearance:
- **Show Entry Zones**: Toggle zone labels on channels
- **Show Info Table**: Display real-time strategy status
- **Table Position**: Corner placement (Top Left/Right, Bottom Left/Right)
- **Color Settings**: Customize long/short/TP/SL colors
## VISUAL INDICATORS:
- **Channel boxes** with semi-transparent fill showing consolidation zones
- **Colored entry zones** labeled "LONG ZONE ▲" and "SHORT ZONE ▼"

- **Active TP/SL lines** with emoji labels (⊕ Entry, 🎯 TP, 🛑 SL)
- **Info table** showing position status, channel state, last signal, entry/TP/SL prices, and ATR status
## HOW TO USE:
### For 1-3 Minute Scalping (NQ/ES):
- ATR Timeframe: "1" (1-minute)
- ATR Min Value: 10.0 (for NQ), adjust per instrument
- Entry Zone %: 20-25%
- TP Method: Fixed Points, 20-40 ticks
- SL Offset: 5-10 ticks
- Cooldown: 2-3 bars
- Position Size: 1-2 contracts
### For 5-15 Minute Day Trading:
- ATR Timeframe: "5" or match chart
- ATR Min Value: Adjust to instrument (test 8-15 for NQ)
- Entry Zone %: 20-30%
- TP Method: % of Channel, 40-60%
- SL Offset: 5-10 ticks
- Cooldown: 3-5 bars
- Position Size: Fixed contracts or 5-10% equity
### For 30-60 Minute Swing Scalping:
- ATR Timeframe: "15" or "30"
- ATR Min Value: Lower threshold for broader market
- Entry Zone %: 25-35%
- TP Method: % of Channel, 50-70%
- SL Offset: 10-15 ticks
- Cooldown: 5+ bars or disable
- Position Size: % of equity recommended
## BACKTEST CONSIDERATIONS:
- Strategy performs best in ranging, mean-reverting markets
- Strong trending markets produce more stop losses as price breaks channels
- ATR filter significantly reduces trade count but improves quality during low volatility
- Cooldown period trades signal quantity for signal quality
- Commission and slippage materially impact sub-5-minute timeframe performance
- Shorter timeframes require tighter entry zones (15-20%) to catch quick reversions
- % of Channel TP adapts better to varying channel sizes than fixed points
- Fixed contract sizing recommended for consistent risk per trade in futures
**Backtesting Parameters Used**: This strategy was developed and tested using realistic commission and slippage values to provide accurate performance expectations. Recommended settings: Commission of $1.40 per side (typical for NQ futures through discount brokers), slippage of 2 ticks to account for execution delays on fast-moving scalp entries. These values reflect real-world trading costs that active scalpers will encounter. Backtest results without proper cost simulation will significantly overstate profitability.

Works on any instrument with price data including stock indices (NQ, ES, YM, RTY), individual stocks, forex pairs (EUR/USD, GBP/USD), cryptocurrency (BTC, ETH), and commodities. Volume-based features require data feed with volume information but are optional for core functionality.
## KNOWN LIMITATIONS:
- Immediate touch entry can fire multiple times in choppy zones without adequate cooldown
- Channel deletion at 10-tick breaks may be too aggressive or lenient depending on instrument tick size
- ATR filter from lower timeframes requires higher-tier TradingView subscription (request.security limitation)
- Mean reversion logic fails in strong breakout scenarios leading to stop loss hits
- Position sizing via % of equity or cash amount calculates based on close price, may differ from actual fill price
- No partial closing capability - full position exits at TP or SL only
- Strategy does not account for gap openings or overnight holds
## RISK DISCLOSURE:
Trading involves substantial risk of loss. Past performance does not guarantee future results. This strategy is for educational purposes and backtesting only. Mean reversion strategies can experience extended drawdowns during trending markets. Stop losses may not fill at intended levels during extreme volatility or gaps. Thoroughly test on historical data and paper trade before risking real capital. Use appropriate position sizing and never risk more than you can afford to lose. Consider consulting a licensed financial advisor before making trading decisions. Automated trading systems can malfunction - monitor all live positions actively.
## ACKNOWLEDGMENT & CREDITS:
This strategy is built upon the channel detection methodology created by **AlgoAlpha** in the "Smart Money Breakout Channels" indicator. Full credit and appreciation to AlgoAlpha for pioneering the normalized volatility approach to identifying consolidation patterns. The core channel formation logic using normalized price standard deviation is AlgoAlpha's original contribution to the TradingView community.
Enhancements to the original concept include: mean reversion entry logic (vs breakout), immediate touch-based signals, multi-timeframe ATR volatility filtering, flexible position sizing (fixed/percentage/cash), cooldown period filtering, dual TP methods (fixed points vs channel percentage), automated strategy execution with exit management, and real-time position monitoring table.

Smart Money Support/Resistance — LiteSmart Money Support/Resistance — Lite
Overview & Methodology
This indicator identifies support and resistance as zones derived from concentrated buying and selling pressure, rather than relying solely on traditional swing highs/lows. Its design focuses on transparency: how data is sourced, how zones are computed, and how the on‑chart display should be interpreted.
Lower‑Timeframe (LTF) Data
The script requests Up Volume, Down Volume, and Volume Delta from a lower timeframe to expose intrabar order‑flow structure that the chart’s native timeframe cannot show. In practical terms, this lets you see where buyers or sellers briefly dominated inside the body of a higher‑timeframe bar.
bool use_custom_tf_input = input.bool(true, title="Use custom lower timeframe", tooltip="Override the automatically chosen lower timeframe for volume calculations.", group=grpVolume)
string custom_tf_input = input. Timeframe("1", title="Lower timeframe", tooltip="Lower timeframe used for up/down volume calculations (default 5 seconds).", group=grpVolume)
import TradingView/ta/10 as tvta
resolve_lower_tf(useCustom, customTF) =>
useCustom ? customTF :
timeframe.isseconds ? "1S" :
timeframe.isintraday ? "1" :
timeframe.isdaily ? "5" : "60"
get_up_down_volume(lowerTf) =>
= tvta.requestUpAndDownVolume(lowerTf)
var float upVolume = na
var float downVolume = na
var float deltaVolume = na
string lower_tf = resolve_lower_tf(use_custom_tf_input, custom_tf_input)
= get_up_down_volume(lower_tf)
upVolume := u_tmp
downVolume := d_tmp
deltaVolume := dl_tmp
• Data source: TradingView’s ta.requestUpAndDownVolume(lowerTf) via the official TA library.
• Plan capabilities: higher‑tier subscriptions unlock seconds‑based charts and allow more historical bars per chart. This expands both the temporal depth of LTF data and the precision of short‑horizon analysis, while base tiers provide minute‑level data suitable for day/short‑swing studies.
• Coverage clarity: a small on‑chart Coverage Panel reports the active lower timeframe, the number of bars covered, and the latest computed support/resistance ranges so you always know the bounds of valid LTF input.
Core Method
1) Data acquisition (LTF)
The script retrieves three series from the chosen lower timeframe:
– Up Volume (buyers)
– Down Volume (sellers)
– Delta (Up – Down)
2) Rolling window & extrema
Over a user‑defined lookback (Global Volume Period), the algorithm builds rolling arrays of completed bars and scans for extrema:
– Buyers_max / Buyers_min from Up Volume
– Sellers_max / Sellers_min from Down Volume
Only completed bars are considered; the current bar is excluded for stability.
3) Price mapping
The extrema are mapped back to their source candles to obtain price bounds:
– For “maximum” roles the algorithm uses the relevant candle highs.
– For “minimum” roles it uses the relevant candle lows.
These pairs define candidate resistance (max‑based) and support (min‑based) zones or vice versa.
4) Zone construction & minimum width
To ensure practicality on all symbols, zones enforce a minimum vertical thickness of two ticks. This prevents visually invisible or overly thin ranges on instruments with tight ticks.
5) Vertical role resolution
When both max‑ and min‑based zones exist, the script compares their midpoints. If, due to local price structure, the min‑based zone sits above the max‑based zone, display roles are swapped so the higher zone is labeled Resistance and the lower zone Support. Colors/widths are updated accordingly to keep the visual legend consistent.
6) Rendering & panel
Two horizontal lines and a filled box represent each active zone. The Coverage Panel (bottom‑right by default) prints:
– Lower‑timeframe in use
– Number of bars covered by LTF data
– Current Support and Resistance ranges
If the two zones overlap, an additional “Range Market” note is shown.
Key Inputs
• Global Volume Period: shared lookback window for the extrema search.
• Lower timeframe: user‑selectable override of the automatically resolved lower timeframe.
• Visualization toggles: independent show/hide controls and colors for maximum (resistance) and minimum (support) zones.
• Coverage Panel: enable/disable the single‑cell table and its readout.
Operational Notes
• The algorithm aligns all lookups to completed bars (no peeking). Price references are shifted appropriately to avoid using the still‑forming bar in calculations.
• Second‑based lower timeframes improve granularity for scalping and very short‑term entries. Minute‑based lower timeframes provide broader coverage for intraday and short‑swing contexts.
• Use the Coverage Panel to confirm the true extent of available LTF history on your symbol/plan before drawing conclusions from very deep lookbacks.
Visual Walkthrough
A step‑by‑step image sequence accompanies this description. Each figure demonstrates how the indicator reads LTF volume, locates extrema, builds price‑mapped zones, and updates labels/colors when vertical order requires it.
Chart Interpretation
This chart illustrates two distinct perspectives of the Smart Money Support/Resistance — Lite indicator, each derived from different lookback horizons and lower-timeframe (LTF) resolutions.
1- Short-term view (43 bars, 10-second LTF)
Using the most recent 43 completed bars with 10-second intrabar data, the algorithm detects that both maximum and minimum volume extrema fall within a narrow range. The result is a clearly identified range market: resistance between 178.15–184.55 and support between 175.02–179.38.
The Coverage Panel (bottom-right) confirms the scope of valid input: the lower timeframe used, number of bars covered, and the resulting zones. This short-term scan highlights how the indicator adapts to limited data depth, flagging sideways structure where neither side dominates.
2 - Long-term view (120 bars, 30-second LTF)
Over a wider 120-bar lookback with higher-granularity 30-second data, broader supply and demand zones emerge.
– The long-term resistance zone captures the concentration of buyers and sellers at the upper boundary of recent price history.
– The long-term support zone anchors to the opposite side of the distribution, derived from maxima and minima of both buying and selling pressure.
These zones reflect deeper structural levels where market participants previously committed significant volume.
Combined Perspective
By aligning the short-term and long-term outputs, the chart shows how the indicator distinguishes immediate consolidation (range market) from more durable support and resistance levels derived from extended history. This dual resolution approach makes clear that support and resistance are not static lines but dynamic zones, dependent on both timeframe depth and the resolution of intrabar volume data.
FSVZO | Lyro RSFSVZO | Lyro RS
This script is a technical analysis tool called the FSVZO, or Fourier Smoothed Volume Zone Oscillator. It is designed to analyze market momentum and trend strength by combining price and volume data with advanced smoothing techniques. The goal is to help identify potential trends, overbought/oversold conditions, and divergence signals in a clear visual format.
Understanding the Indicator's Components
The indicator plots a main oscillator line and several supporting elements on a separate pane below the chart.
The Main Oscillator: This is the primary, colored wave. Its movement and color are key to interpretation.
Trend Direction: The color shifts between bullish and bearish tones based on the momentum of the oscillator. This provides a quick visual reference for the prevailing short-term trend.
Key Levels: Horizontal lines mark significant levels such as +60, +85, -60, and -85. Movements above +60 or below -60 can indicate strong momentum, while approaches to the extreme levels (+85/-85) may suggest overbought or oversold conditions.
Divergence Detection: The indicator can plot labels ("ℝ" for Regular, "ℍ" for Hidden) on the oscillator to signal potential divergences. These occur when the indicator's direction differs from the price action on the main chart and can sometimes foreshadow reversals or continuations.
Moving Average (MA): A central moving average line, based on the oscillator, helps to smooth out the data further and can act as a dynamic support or resistance level within the indicator pane.
White Noise Filter (Optional): This feature displays a histogram that represents market noise. It can be toggled on or off. Analyzing the histogram's behavior may provide additional context on the stability or volatility of the current trend.
Dynamic Background: The background of the indicator pane can change color to highlight periods where the momentum is particularly strong, based on the position of the moving average.
Suggested Use and Interpretation
Traders might use this indicator in several ways:
Trend Identification: Observe the color and position of the main oscillator. A predominantly bullish-colored oscillator above the zero line may suggest an upward trend, while a bearish-colored one below zero may suggest a downward trend.
Signal Confirmation: Look for the oscillator to cross key levels (like +/-40 or +/-60) in the direction of a suspected trend as a confirmation signal.
Divergence Analysis: When the price makes a new high or low that is not confirmed by a new high or low on the FSVZO oscillator (a divergence), it can be a warning of potential weakness in the trend. The "ℝ" and "ℍ" labels help to identify these scenarios.
Extreme Readings: Readings near the +85 or -85 levels can indicate that a price move may be overextended, which could precede a pause or reversal.
Customization Options
The indicator includes settings groups that allow you to adjust its behavior and appearance:
FSVZO Settings: Adjust parameters like Length and Sensitivity to make the oscillator more or less responsive to market movements.
Signals & Display: Modify visual aspects such as Smooth Length and Glowing Amount, or toggle features like the dynamic background on and off.
Colors: Choose from several pre-set color palettes to suit your visual preferences.

Momentum Volume Analyzer [CHE] Momentum Volume Analyzer — Adaptive momentum with volume-gated signals and expressive visual cues
Summary
This indicator combines a normalized momentum oscillator with a volume Z-score gate and adaptive gradient visuals. The oscillator centers around a midline and scales between a lower and an upper bound. Intensity is derived from the distance to the midline and is normalized inside a rolling window, which helps keep contrast consistent across regimes. Volume pressure is compressed to a discrete level between one and ten and is used to qualify momentum flips and extremes. Layered “burst” markers and optional background gradients provide immediate visual emphasis without adding new data sources. Pine version is v6. The script runs in a separate pane.
Motivation: Why this design?
Common oscillators flip rapidly during noisy conditions or flatten during calm periods, which obscures actionable shifts. A rolling normalization keeps the visual intensity stable across different regimes, and a volume gate reduces reactions when participation is weak. The goal is clearer momentum shifts that are supported by measurable activity rather than cosmetic smoothing alone.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
Baseline reference: Classical RSI-style oscillators or simple filtered momentum without volume gating.
Architecture differences:
Local window normalization with gamma control for contrast.
Volume converted to a Z-score and compressed into a discrete level between one and ten with a configurable cap.
Directional color gradients that intensify with distance from the midline.
Layered glow markers with optional trail and an internal label budget to avoid UI overload.
Practical effect: Signals are visually stronger only when both momentum and volume align; background and line colors convey regime strength at a glance.
How it works (technical)
Momentum core: A high-pass path with automatic gain control produces a bounded oscillator centered around a midline. A simple moving average smooths the result over a short window.
Normalization and contrast: The absolute distance from the midline is scaled inside a rolling window and limited between zero and one. Two gamma parameters separately shape contrast for the line and for labels.
Coloring: When the oscillator is above the midline, a green gradient is used; below the midline, a red gradient is used. Intensity increases with normalized distance. Optional area fill to the midline and a background gradient reinforce strength.
Volume levels: Volume is standardized over a lookback window, clipped by a user cap, and mapped to a level between one and ten. Only positive excursions are considered; non-positive values map to zero.
Event markers: When the oscillator reaches extreme zones and the volume level is positive, the script spawns layered circular labels at fixed y-positions. A small trail can extend behind the event. An internal queue discards the oldest labels when a user-defined maximum is exceeded.
Alerts: Alerts fire on overbought and oversold spikes, midline shifts with minimum intensity and volume, and continuation patterns inside strong zones.
Parameter Guide
TFRSI length (default six): Core momentum lookback. Shorter values react faster but are less stable.
Signal SMA (default two): Light smoothing of the oscillator. Larger values reduce jitter.
Gradient window (default one hundred): Normalization window for intensity. Longer values produce steadier contrast but slower adaptation.
Line/marker transparency (default zero): Visual prominence of drawings. Higher values reduce dominance.
Background on and BG transparency (defaults true and eighty-five): Enables and tunes the pane background gradient.
Area fill to fifty and Fill transparency (defaults true and eighty): Fills between the oscillator and the midline.
Gamma bars/labels and Gamma plot (defaults zero point seven and zero point eight): Contrast shapers for markers and line. Higher values compress low intensities.
Bottom marker and Show last N (defaults true and three hundred thirty-three): Optional compact heat markers with a display cap.
Up/Down colors: Dark and neon pairs for positive and negative regimes.
Lookback (default two hundred) and Z cap (default five): Volume standardization window and clipping level before scaling to one through ten.
Enable bursts, Layers, Trail, Trail transparency, Max live labels, Size scale: Control the layered glow effect, trail length, opacity, label budget, and size multiplier. Reducing the size scale lowers visual dominance.
Spike min level, Shift min level, Min intensity, Rise/Fall length: Gates for alerts; adjust to balance sensitivity and false positives.
Reading & Interpretation
Line color and intensity: Green shades above the midline indicate bullish pressure; red shades below indicate bearish pressure. Stronger color corresponds to stronger normalized distance.
Background and fill: Reinforce regime strength; consider reducing transparency when the pane feels too busy.
Bursts and trails: Emphasize volume-backed extremes. Larger bursts reflect stronger volume levels or scaling choices.
Volume level: Internal level between one and ten. Levels near the upper bound signal exceptional activity.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
Trend following: Use midline cross upward with minimum shift level and intensity as a trigger. Confirm with structure such as higher highs and higher lows. For shorts, reverse the conditions.
Exits and risk: Fade exposure when intensity weakens toward the midline or when volume level drops below the shift threshold. Consider disabling bursts when monitoring many symbols.
Multi-asset and multi-timeframe: Defaults are designed to travel across liquid futures, large-cap equities, and major crypto pairs. For higher timeframes, increase the lookback window and consider reducing the Z cap.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Repaint and confirmation: Signals are evaluated on the live bar. They can appear and withdraw before bar close. For confirmed signals, require closed-bar alerts or manual confirmation.
Higher-timeframe sources: Not used. No `security` calls.
Resources: `max_bars_back` is two thousand. The script uses arrays and label objects, including loops for trails. The label budget mitigates clutter.
Known limits: Very illiquid symbols with unstable volume can reduce the usefulness of the Z-score. Sharp regime changes can still produce brief flips.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Starting point: TFRSI length six, Signal two, Gradient window one hundred, Z cap five, Spike level six, Shift level four, Min intensity zero point four, Rise length three, Size scale zero point five.
Too many flips: Increase Signal, increase Gradient window, or raise Shift level.
Too sluggish: Decrease TFRSI length or reduce Gradient window.
Bursts too dominant: Lower Size scale or reduce Layers; increase Trail transparency or set Trail length to zero.

VWAP Momentum Oscillator How It Works
Core Calculation Method
The oscillator combines four key market measurements into a single, normalized reading:
1. Price-VWAP Deviation: `(Close - VWAP) / VWAP × 100`
2. VWAP-MA Momentum: `(VWAP - MovingAverage) / MovingAverage × 100`
3. Anchored VWAP Strength: Average of high/low anchor deviations from rolling VWAP
4. Range Position: `(Close - PeriodLow) / (PeriodHigh - PeriodLow) × 100 - 50`

Version History & Development
This oscillator evolved from advanced VWAP overlay strategies, transforming complex multi-line analysis into a single, actionable momentum gauge. The indicator maintains the sophistication of institutional VWAP analysis while providing the clarity needed for retail trading decisions.
Core Philosophy
Traditional VWAP indicators show where price is relative to volume-weighted averages, but they don't quantify momentum or provide clear entry/exit signals. This oscillator solves that problem by normalizing all VWAP relationships into a single, bounded indicator that works consistently across all timeframes and asset classes.

Inversion Fair Value Gap Signals [AlgoAlpha]🟠 OVERVIEW
This script is a custom signal tool called Inversion Fair Value Gap Signals (IFVG) , designed to detect, track, and visualize fair value gaps (FVGs) and their inversions directly on price charts. It identifies bullish and bearish imbalances, monitors when these zones are mitigated or rejected, and extends them until resolution or expiration. What makes this script original is the inclusion of inversion logic—when a gap is filled, the area flips into an opposite "inversion fair value gap," creating potential reversal or continuation zones that give traders additional context beyond classic FVG analysis.
🟠 CONCEPTS
The script builds on the Smart Money Concepts (SMC) principle of fair value gaps, where inefficiencies form when price moves too quickly in one direction. Detection requires a three-bar sequence: a strong up or down move that leaves untraded price between bar highs and lows. To refine reliability, the script adds an ATR-based size filter and prevents overlap between zones. Once created, gaps are tracked in arrays until mitigation (price closing back into the gap), expiration, or transformation into an inversion zone. Inversions act as polarity flips, where bullish gaps become bearish resistance and bearish gaps become bullish support. Lower-timeframe volume data is also displayed inside zones to highlight whether buying or selling pressure dominated during gap creation.
🟠 FEATURES
Automatic detection of bullish and bearish FVGs with ATR-based thresholding.
Inversion logic: mitigated gaps flip into opposite-colored IFVG zones.
Volume text overlay inside each zone showing up vs down volume.
Visual markers (△/▽ for FVG, ▲/▼ for IFVG) when price exits a zone without mitigation.
🟠 USAGE
Apply the indicator to any chart and enable/disable bullish or bearish FVG detection depending on your focus. Use the colored gap zones as areas of interest: bullish gaps suggest possible continuation to the upside until mitigated, while bearish gaps suggest continuation down. When a gap flips into an inversion zone, treat it as potential support/resistance—bullish IFVGs below price may act as demand, while bearish IFVGs above price may act as supply. Watch the embedded up/down volume data to gauge the strength of participants during gap formation. Use the △/▽ and ▲/▼ markers to spot when price rejects gaps or inversions without filling them, which can indicate strong trending momentum. For practical use, combine alerts with your trade plan to track when new gaps form, when old ones are resolved, or when key zones flip into inversions, helping you align entries, targets, or reversals with institutional order flow logic.
