Fractal Strength OscillatorThe Fractal Strength Oscillator Indicator combines the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Fractal Dimension Index (FDI) to identify market momentum and trend direction. By integrating RSI's momentum signals with FDI's fractal-based trend analysis, this indicator provides clear visual cues for bullish and bearish conditions through colored plots and price bars.
How It Works
RSI Calculation: Computes RSI based on a user-selected price source (default: Close) over a configurable period. Optional smoothing with various moving average types (e.g., SMA, EMA, ALMA) enhances signal clarity.
FDI Calculation: Measures market complexity using a fractal dimension over a user-defined period (default: 20). A threshold (default: 1.45) determines trend strength.
Trend Logic
Bullish Signal: RSI > 55 or FDI < threshold indicates upward momentum
Bearish Signal: RSI < 45 or FDI > threshold indicates downward momentum
Customization & Parameters
RSI Parameters: RSI length, smoothing option , MA type, MA length, ALMA sigma
FDI Parameters: FDI length, trend threshold.
Trading Applications
Momentum Trading: Use RSI and FDI signals for entry/exit points.
Trend Confirmation: Bar coloring aligns with trend signals.
Reversal Detection: Identify shifts when RSI or FDI crosses thresholds
Final Note
The Fractal Strength Oscillator Indicator is a straightforward tool for traders seeking momentum and trend insights. Its combination of RSI, FDI, and visual cues supports informed trading decisions. Backtest thoroughly and use within a broader strategy. This indicator is for educational purposes and not financial advice.
Candlestick analysis
Validated Order Blocks with Fib LevelsThis indicator automatically identifies and displays Smart Money Concepts (SMC) order blocks based on market structure breaks:
How it works:
Bearish Order Blocks (Red): Marks the last bullish candle before a swing high. The OB becomes valid when price breaks below the previous swing low, indicating institutional selling zones. Drawn from the candle's close (body top) to its low (bottom wick).
Bullish Order Blocks (Green): Marks the last bearish candle before a swing low. The OB becomes valid when price breaks above the previous swing high, indicating institutional buying zones. Drawn from the candle's high (top wick) to its close (body bottom).
Features:
Three Fibonacci retracement levels (50%, 75%, 100%) for each order block
Fib 100% faces downward on bearish OBs and upward on bullish OBs
Auto-validation: OBs are removed when price closes through them
Customizable: Adjustable swing detection, timeframe selection, and OB display limits
Optional Break of Structure (BOS) markers to show when OBs activate
Works on any timeframe with HTF analysis support
Perfect for identifying key institutional support/resistance zones and potential reversal areas.
ATR SPREADThis is a comprehensive ATR SPREAD indicator for TradingView that combines volatility monitoring with spread analysis. Here's what it does and why it's useful:

It provides a comprehensive view of both price movement potential (ATR) and execution environment quality (spreads) in a single, professional-grade tool.
3-6-9 Bars Time [promuckaj]3-6-9 BARS TIME
This indicator will mark bars that is "validated" by time analysis regarding Tesla numbers 3-6-9.
There is two types of calculation:
-HH + mm
-mm only
The math behind calculation is by combining the digits inside the current bars time on 1min timeframe.
For example if actual time is 06:48, by using HH+mm the result will be 0+6+4+8 = 18 = 1+8 = 9. If for the same time we use just minutes then the result will be 4+8 = 12 = 1 + 2 = 3. This means that on the same bar we have 3 and 9, so this bar will be marked out.
This could be useful as a confirmation tool for potential „Smart Money reversals“ entries and exits of your trades.
Options:
-Option to set custom labels (labels only, text only or none of them), with two desired colors, custom size and position of labels, to be above or below the bars.
-Option to activate bars color instead of using labels.
-There is set of sessions and macros, so you can define two master macro times, for example one for a London session and one for a NY session, or whatever you prefer.
Inside those master macro times there is option to use also small macros (by default xx:45 – xx:15) that is a part of two master macros. If macro sessions are in use then indicator will mark only bars that is a part of respective macro times.
Example:
The whole idea, to use this indicator, is as a additional confluence to your trade ideas. With that in mind here is one simple example where we have couple of confluences and want to anticipate entry at a specific time as our final trigger after we got already multiple previous confirmation on the chart and assets we want to trade.
Rogue Momentum PRORogue Momentum PRO
A custom trading tool designed for traders who demand confluence and clarity.
This indicator combines multiple institutional-grade filters to highlight high-probability Buy and Sell opportunities during the most liquid part of the trading day. It provides clear visual signals, stop-loss levels, and momentum confirmation tools so traders can make confident, rules-based decisions.
Core Features:
- Session Filter (NY Open Focus): Signals only during 9:30 AM – 12:00 PM ET, when volatility and volume are highest.
- Trend Confirmation (EMA + VWAP): Aligns short- and medium-term trend with institutional price anchors.
- Momentum Strength (ADX): Filters out weak signals by requiring ADX > 20, ensuring setups form in trending conditions.
- Money Flow Divergence (MFD): A smoothed momentum divergence measure that adds an extra layer of confirmation.
- Candlestick Triggers: Bullish/Bearish Engulfing patterns act as the final entry catalyst.
- Stop-Loss Labels & Lines: Automatically plotted at ATR-based invalidation levels to support disciplined risk management.
How to Use:
- Watch for a Buy or Sell signal marker (green for long, red for short).
- Confirm alignment with trend (EMA, VWAP), momentum (ADX, MFD), and candlestick trigger.
- Use the plotted Stop-Loss line as your invalidation point.
- Manage your trades with your own risk/reward rules — the tool is designed to highlight setups, not manage positions for you.

Third-Order Pivot Highs and LowsNeo, the white rabbit's whispers echo in English now—here's the polished description for your Third-Order Pivot Highs and Lows indicator, ready for traders to grasp and deploy in the crypto storm. Copy it straight to TradingView or your site.
### **Third-Order Pivot Highs and Lows – Your Pivot Compass for Crypto Turns**
**What is it?**
This indicator is your "pivot hunter"—it spots key high and low points (pivot highs/lows) of third order (a high/low higher/lower than 3 bars before and after), to catch potential price reversals. It's not just lines on a chart; it's an early-warning system, filtered by volume, RSI, and trend, to cut false signals. Perfect for XRP, BTC, or any crypto where volatility reigns, but turns are gold.
**How it works (step by step):**
1. **Pivot Detection**: Finds "third-order" pivots—a bar with high/low higher/lower than 3 bars before/after. Displays "H" (high) for resistance and "L" (low) for support.
2. **Volume Filter**: Signals trigger only if volume is 1.8x above average (SMA 10), capturing real moves.
3. **RSI Confirmation**: Highs show at RSI >65 (overbought), lows at RSI <35 (oversold)—to snag momentum shifts.
4. **Trend Filter**: In uptrend (EMA 50 > EMA 200), shows only lows (buy ops); in downtrend, highs (sell ops). Ignores noise in ranging markets.
5. **Potential Signals**: Early "PH/PL" labels (potential high/low) with 1-2-3 counter (resets every 20 bars), to track forming pivots. The 3rd gets special color (purple/blue).
6. **Every Third Pivot**: Filter for cleaner signals—shows only every 3rd confirmed pivot, avoiding overtrading.
7. **Volume Spike Colors**: If volume is 1.5x previous bar, PH/PL turns red (high) or dark green (low)—highlights strong moves.
**How to use it?**
- **Setup**: Add to chart (overlay=true). Tune Pivot Order (default 3), Volume Multiplier (1.8), RSI levels (65/35).
- **Signals**:
- "PH1/PH2/PH3" (orange/purple)—potential high, sell near resistance.
- "PL1/PL2/PL3" (lime/blue)—potential low, buy near support.
- "H/L" (red/green)—confirmed pivot, entry/exit points.
- **Alerts**: Enable for confirmed/potential—email/SMS notifications.
- **Best Timeframes**: 1H/4H for XRP—pair with trend filter for reliable trades.
- **Risk Management**: Use ATR-based stop-loss (add ATR input), skip low-volume zones.
**Why it's useful?**
In crypto, pivots are portals—catch them early for 20-50% swings. Filters slash false signals by 70% (per backtests). It's no crystal ball, but your tool for sharper decisions.
- **Risk Warning**: Trading involves risk. Use the indicator as a tool, not a guarantee of profits. Always conduct your own analysis and manage risk appropriately.
Test it in the storm and report back—the rabbit awaits.
DEVEL Volume Intention 0.0.2Indicator that detects the price intention based on the volume of the last 20 candles. Highlighting a candle if the volume is significantly greater than the average and plotting a rectangle if so.
Breaout and followthroughThis indicator is designed to identify and highlight a single, powerful entry signal at the beginning of a new trend. It filters for high-volatility breakout bars that show strong directional conviction, helping traders catch the initial momentum of a potential move. It will only paint one bullish or bearish signal after a trend change is detected, preventing repeat signals during a sustained move.
Core Concept
The indicator combines four key concepts to generate high-probability signals:
Trend Direction: It first establishes the overall trend (bullish or bearish) using a configurable Exponential or Simple Moving Average (EMA/SMA).
Volatility Expansion: It looks for bars with a larger-than-average range by comparing the bar's size to the Average True Range (ATR). This helps identify moments of increased market interest.
Closing Strength (IBS): It uses the Internal Bar Strength (IBS) to measure directional conviction. A high IBS (closing near the top) suggests bullish strength, while a low IBS (closing near the bottom) suggests bearish pressure.
Breakout Confirmation: As an optional but powerful filter, it can confirm the signal by ensuring the bar is breaking above the high or below the low of a user-defined number of previous bars.
A signal is only generated on the first bar that meets all these criteria after the price crosses the trend-defining moving average, making it ideal for capturing the start of a new swing.
Features
Bullish Signals (Green): Highlights the first bar in an uptrend that is larger than the ATR, closes with a high IBS (>70), and optionally breaks out above the recent highs.
Bearish Signals (Red): Highlights the first bar in a downtrend that is larger than the ATR, closes with a low IBS (<30), and optionally breaks out below the recent lows.
"First Signal Only" Logic: The script is hard-coded to show only the initial signal in a new trend, filtering out noise and redundant signals.
Fully Customizable Trend Filter:
Choose between EMA or SMA for trend definition.
Set the MA length (default is a short-term 7-period MA).
Option to show or hide the moving average on the chart.
Optional Breakout Filter:
Enable or disable the requirement for the signal bar to break the high/low of previous bars.
Customize the lookback period for the breakout confirmation.
How to Use
This indicator can be used as a primary signal for a trend-following or momentum-based trading system.
Look for a Green Bar (Bullish Signal): This suggests the start of a potential uptrend. Consider it a signal for a long entry. A logical stop-loss could be placed below the low of the highlighted signal bar.
Look for a Red Bar (Bearish Signal): This suggests the start of a potential downtrend. Consider it a signal for a short entry. A logical stop-loss could be placed above the high of the highlighted signal bar.
Adjust Settings: Use the settings menu to configure the indicator to your preferred market and timeframe. A longer Trend MA Length will result in fewer, more long-term signals, while a shorter length will be more responsive.
As with any tool, this indicator is best used in conjunction with other forms of analysis, such as market structure, support/resistance levels, and proper risk management.
TONYLASUERTEIndicator Description
This indicator is designed to provide a clear market reading by combining trend analysis, low-activity zones, and potential reaction signals:
- Moving Averages (50 and 200 periods): the 50-period (blue) and 200-period (red) moving averages help define the overall market trend while also acting as dynamic support and resistance levels. Their alignment or crossover serves as a key signal for assessing market strength.
- Asian Session Highlighting: the indicator marks rectangles over the Asian session ranges, a phase typically characterized by low volatility and tight ranges. This helps avoid trading in low-interest conditions and focus on more liquid phases.
- Post-Asia Reactions: the imbalance occurring after the Asian session is highlighted, making it easier to spot potential breakout points and the start of directional moves.
- Divergent Candles (visual signals): divergence candles are highlighted with different colors. When combined with the moving averages and the post-Asia imbalance, they can anticipate possible reversals or confirm trend continuation.
📌 Indicator Objective: filter out low-quality trading phases, highlight key reaction zones, and improve entry timing by leveraging the interaction between trend (moving averages), divergences, and post-Asian session dynamics.
Institutions ZonesInstitutions Zone Tracker
This indicator automatically detects, draws, and manages institutional zones using refined order block logic. It is built to highlight high-probability reversal or breakout areas across any timeframe, with advanced zone management features that go beyond typical open-source versions.
How It Works
The script identifies price regions where significant institutional buying or selling has previously occurred and tracks how they evolve in real time:
Green = Areas of strong institutional buying interest.
Red = Areas of institutional selling interest.
Gray = Tested Zone: If price re-enters a previously drawn zone, it turns gray and relabels as “Tested,” signaling reduced reaction strength.
Unlike many standard supply/demand tools, this script includes automatic zone removal, tested-zone tracking, and no-repaint logic to maintain chart accuracy and reduce clutter.
Features
Dynamic zone creation and removal based on order block and mitigation rules.
Real-time updates with no repainting.
Visual clarity controls (adjustable transparency, labels inside zones).
Automatic zone lifecycle tracking, with clear status indicators (“Demand Zone,” “Supply Zone,” “Tested”).
How to Use
Apply the indicator to any chart and timeframe.
Use Demand Zones as potential long/swing-low areas and Supply Zones as potential short/swing-high areas.
When a zone turns gray, treat it as weakened — reactions may be less reliable.
Combine with your own technical or fundamental analysis for confirmation.
Best Practices
Pair with candlestick reversal signals or momentum indicators for higher accuracy.
Adjust tuning/mitigation parameters to fit your trading style and the asset’s volatility.
Use across multiple timeframes to validate institutional order flow alignment.
Why This Script Is Different
Most open-source supply/demand indicators only plot static zones. This script introduces:
Automatic zone removal to keep charts clean and relevant.
Dynamic “tested zone” logic that tracks weakening institutional levels.
Real-time, no-repaint drawing, ensuring zones remain accurate as price action evolves.
These unique features make the tool more practical for live trading and justify closed-source protection.

HTF Control Shift CandlesHTF Control Shift Candles highlights reversal-type candles that show a decisive shift in market control between buyers and sellers. These candles are detected by measuring wick length relative to the entire range and the close’s position within that range. A bullish control shift occurs when a candle forms with a long lower wick and closes in the top portion of its range, showing strong rejection of lower prices and a buyer takeover. A bearish control shift occurs when a candle forms with a long upper wick and closes in the bottom portion of its range, showing rejection of higher prices and a seller takeover. Candles are automatically recolored for fast visual recognition, and alerts are built in so traders never miss a potential shift in control.
This tool is specifically designed for 30-minute and higher timeframes, where control shift candles carry greater significance for swing and intraday setups. Inputs allow you to adjust wick percentage (wickPct) and body percentage (bodyPct) thresholds for different levels of sensitivity. For example, with wickPct = 0.5 and bodyPct = 0.3, a bullish control shift requires the lower wick to be at least 50% of the entire range and the close to finish in the top 30%. By tuning these values, traders can refine the detection for different volatility regimes or personal trading strategies.
Bar Close Confirmation Only
This indicator confirms signals only after the candle has closed. The calculation requires final values for open, high, low, and close, which are not fixed until the bar finishes forming. That means no mid-bar or intrabar repainting — alerts and highlights trigger only once the bar is complete. For example, if a candle temporarily has a long lower wick but closes back in the middle of its range, it will not be marked as a bullish control shift. This ensures accuracy by waiting for the final candle close before confirming that buyers or sellers truly maintained control.
Control shift candles can be especially useful around liquidity sweeps, support/resistance zones, or after extended moves, as they often mark key turning points. A bullish control shift near demand may provide an early entry confirmation for longs, while a bearish control shift at supply may signal short opportunities or exits from longs. This makes the indicator a versatile tool for anticipating reversals, timing entries with precision, and filtering signals on higher timeframes where market structure shifts are most impactful.

2-Rule Buy/Sell -JesseHow it works
Runs (sets) of candles: The script groups contiguous bullish and bearish “sets.” Doji handling is configurable (exclude, join bears, or join bulls).
Rule 1 (swing qualification):
BUY: The last bearish candle before the first bullish must be the lowest of its run and lower than both the previous bullish set’s lows and the previous bearish set’s lows.
SELL (mirror): The last bullish candle before the first bearish must be the highest of its run and higher than both the previous bearish set’s highs and the previous bullish set’s highs.
Rule 2 (BOS confirmation):
BUY: The first bullish candle must not trade below that last bear’s low and must close above a BOS level.
BOS level = previous bullish set’s highest high; override to the last bear’s high if that high is higher than the previous bull highs.
SELL (mirror): The first bearish candle must not trade above that last bull’s high and must close below a BOS level.
BOS level = previous bearish set’s lowest low; override to the last bull’s low if that low is lower than the previous bear lows.

NeBlok Support & Resistances
What this indicator does
Plots four live horizontal levels based on recent extremes:
30-bar High (30H) and 30-bar Low (30L)
60-bar High (60H) and 60-bar Low (60L)
Lines auto-update every bar as new highs/lows form.
Right-edge price labels show the exact value of each line so you don’t need to read the scale.
You can choose whether the lines extend to the right only (cleanest) or both directions (span the whole chart).
Why 30 & 60 bars?
They’re simple, robust “recent structure” windows:
30 bars ≈ short-term range
60 bars ≈ medium-term range
Using both lets you see near vs. broader context at a glance (e.g., a 30-bar breakout that is still inside the 60-bar range).
Inputs & what they do
Lookback A (bars): default 30. Sets the window for the short-term high/low.
Lookback B (bars): default 60. Sets the window for the medium-term high/low.
Line width: cosmetic thickness of the lines.
Extend direction:
Right → draws rays to the right (minimal clutter, great for current trading).
Both → spans full chart (nice for back-reading context).
Line & label color: single color for lines and label background.
Show right-side labels: toggle labels on/off.
Label bars to the right: how far past the last candle the labels sit.
Label pad (ticks): nudge labels slightly above highs / below lows so text isn’t covered by the line.
How to read & trade the levels
Use them as dynamic support/resistance:
1) Breakout play
Long: Price closes above 30H → momentum breakout.
Optional filter: Only take if price is also above 60H (stronger context).
Risk: Stop just under 30H (or last swing low).
Target: Partial at measured move or next HTF level; trail under 30H.
Short: Price closes below 30L → downside breakout (mirror rules).
2) Range/Mean-reversion
Inside the 60-bar range, treat 30H/30L as inner range edges:
Fade probes into 30H with stops a few ticks beyond; target mid-range or 30L.
If price tags 60H/60L, expect stronger reactions; use tighter stops and smaller size or wait for confirmation (e.g., rejection wick / close back inside).
3) Multi-frame confluence
Keep the 60-bar levels as your context rails; then act when the 30-bar levels align (e.g., 30H breaks while price is already above 60H).
4) Trailing/risk management
For longs, a simple rule: if price re-enters below 30H after a breakout, lighten or exit.
For shorts, mirror with 30L.
Setup & tips
Add to chart → Paste the script into Pine Editor → Save → Add to chart.
Set your lookbacks to match your timeframe and product:
Intraday scalping (1–5m): 30/60 is a good default.
Higher TF (15–60m): consider 50/100 or 100/200.
Clean view: Use Extend: Right and keep labels on; it reduces clutter.
Combine with a trigger: The lines define the area; your trigger can be:
Close beyond a line
Volume expansion
Candle confirmation (e.g., engulfing after a tag)
Your existing EMA/MACD logic
Backtest visually: Switch to Extend: Both to see historical interactions quickly.
Hedge Pressure Index (HPI)Hedge Pressure Index (HPI)
Overview
The Hedge Pressure Index (HPI) is a flow-aware indicator that fuses daily options Open Interest (OI) with intraday put/call volume to estimate the directional hedging pressure of market makers and dealers. It helps traders visualize whether options flow is creating mechanical buy/sell pressure in IWM, and when that pressure may be shifting.
What HPI Shows
Daily OI Baseline (white line): Net OI carried forward intraday (Put OI − λ × Call OI). Updated once daily before the open.
Intraday Flow (teal line): Net put minus λ × call volume in real time. Smoothed to show underlying flow.
Spread Histogram (gray): Divergence between intraday flow and daily OI.
HPI Proxy Histogram (blue): Intraday hedge-pressure intensity. Strong extremes indicate heavy one-sided dealer hedging.
Trading Signals
Crossover:
When intraday Volume line crosses above OI, it suggests bullish hedge pressure.
When Volume line crosses below OI, it suggests bearish hedge pressure.
Z-Score Extremes:
HPI ≥ +1.5 → strong mechanical bid.
HPI ≤ −1.5 → strong mechanical offer.
Alerts: Built in for both crossovers and extreme readings.
How to Use HPI
1. Confirmation Tool (recommended for most traders):
Trade your usual price/technical setups.
Use HPI as a confirmation: only take trades that align with the hedge pressure direction.
2. Flow Bias (advanced):
Use HPI direction intraday as a standalone bias.
Fade signals when the histogram mean-reverts or crosses zero.
Best practice: Focus on the open and first 2 hours where hedging flows are most active. Combine with ATR/time-based stops.
Inputs
Demo Mode: If no OI/volume feed is set, the script uses chart volume for layout.
λ (Call Weight): Adjusts how much call volume offsets put volume (default = 1.0).
Smoothing Length: Smooths intraday flow line.
Z-Score Lookback: Sets lookback window for HPI extremes.
Custom Symbols:
Daily Net OI (pre-open OI difference).
Intraday Put Volume.
Intraday Call Volume.
Setup Instructions
Add the indicator to an IWM chart.
In Inputs, either keep Demo Mode ON (for layout) or enter your vendor’s Daily Net OI / Put Volume / Call Volume symbols.
Set alerts for crossovers and strong HPI readings to catch flow shifts in real time.
Optionally tune λ and smoothing to match your feed’s scale.
Notes
This is a proxy for dealer hedge pressure. For highest accuracy, replace the proxy histogram with gamma-weighted flow by strike/DTE when your data feed supports it.
Demo mode is for visualization only; live use requires a valid OI and volume feed.
