VXN Net VolumeThis indicator is based on other open source scripts. It displays net volume (buying minus selling) approximated from lower timeframe data, helping traders gauge buying/selling pressure.
It uses the CBOE Nasdaq Volatility Index (VXN) to color the chart background: green for low volatility (bullish) when VXN's short-term EMA is below its long-term SMA, and red for high volatility (bearish) when above.
The net volume color is not filtered by the VXN Index trend direction (background color). It’s highly recommended to align with the VXN Index trend direction when using net volume to confirm your entry. A red net volume with a red background or a green net volume with a green background provides a high-probability setup.
A moving average of net volume is optionally plotted as a blue area to highlight significant volume levels.

SMA MAD SuperTrend | OquantThe SMA MAD SuperTrend | Oquant is an trend-following indicator designed to help traders identify potential trend directions and reversals using a unique combination of a Simple Moving Average (SMA), Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD), and a SuperTrend mechanism. This script aims to provide clear visual signals for trend entries and exits, making it suitable for traders looking to capture trends.
This indicator innovatively combines the smoothing properties of an SMA with the volatility-adaptive qualities of MAD to create dynamic SuperTrend bands. Unlike traditional SuperTrend indicators that rely on Average True Range (ATR) for volatility, this script uses Mean Absolute Deviation(MAD) to measure the average absolute deviation from the mean price, providing a different perspective on price volatility. The result is a SuperTrend system that adapts to market conditions with a focus on price deviation, offering a unique tool for trend detection.
Components and Calculations
Simple Moving Average (SMA):
The SMA is a widely used indicator that calculates the average of a specified number of closing prices. It smooths price data to identify the overall trend direction. In this script, the SMA serves as the baseline for calculating dynamic upper and lower bands.
Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD):
MAD measures the average absolute deviation of the price from its mean. It quantifies volatility by calculating how far prices deviate from the mean price, offering an alternative to ATR.
SuperTrend Mechanism:
This SuperTrend indicator generates dynamic upper and lower bands around the Simple Moving Average (SMA) using mean absolute deviation as measure of volatility.
It tracks trend direction by comparing the close price to the bands:
If the price crosses above the upper band, the trend turns bullish, and the SuperTrend follows the lower band.
If the price crosses below the lower band, the trend turns bearish, and the SuperTrend follows the upper band.
The bands adjust based on their previous values, updating only when the price crosses a band or the band shifts in the correct direction, reducing false signals and ensuring stable trend detection.
How to Use the Indicator
Trend Signals:
Green Line: Indicates a bullish trend (price above the SuperTrend line).
Purple Line: Indicates a bearish trend (price below the SuperTrend line).
Bar and Candle Coloring: Bars and candles are colored green for bullish trends and purple for bearish trends, making it easy to visualize trend direction.
Filled Areas: The area between the price and the SuperTrend line is filled with transparent colors (green for bullish, purple for bearish) to highlight trend.
Inputs:
Source: Choose the price data for calculations.
SMA Length: Adjust the period for the SMA. Longer periods smooth the trend further.
MAD Length: Set the period for MAD calculation. Shorter periods make the MAD more sensitive.
Factor: Control the distance of the SuperTrend bands from the SMA. Higher values widen the bands, reducing sensitivity to price fluctuations.
Alerts:
The script includes alert conditions for trend changes:
SMA MAD SuperTrend Long: Triggered when the trend turns bullish.
SMA MAD SuperTrend Short: Triggered when the trend turns bearish.
Set up alerts in TradingView to receive notifications for these conditions.
Why Use This Script?
The SMA MAD SuperTrend | Oquant offers a fresh take on trend-following by integrating SMA as baseline and MAD for volatility measurement, providing an alternative to ATR-based SuperTrend indicators. Its clear visual signals, customizable inputs, and alert conditions make it versatile for traders of all levels.

VXN filtered CHOCH Pattern LevelsThis indicator is based on other open source scripts. It identifies Change of Character (CHOCH) patterns on Nasdaq futures (NQ and MNQ) charts, using pivot points to detect potential trend reversals.
Signals (horizontal levels) are filtered by VXN background color: bullish levels only on green background, bearish on red.
If a CHOCH occurs on the wrong background, it is remembered (pending), and triggered when the background aligns. The last CHOCH signal is remembered to avoid wasting it.
It plots horizontal levels anchored to the extreme points of CHOCH patterns (lowest low for bullish, highest high for bearish), using the labeling and line-drawing style from the VXN Anchored VWAP indicator.
Lines are drawn as polylines (horizontal) with labels at the anchor point and current bar showing the level value.
The VXN index provides background color for market sentiment (green for bullish, red for bearish).
Historical levels are plotted semi-transparently when a new filtered signal is confirmed (on detection if aligned or on trigger).

Luxy trend & Momentum Indicators Suit V2Luxy Trend & Momentum Indicator Suite V2
The Luxy Trend & Momentum Suite V2 is a multi-purpose technical analysis tool designed to help traders quickly identify high-probability trend-following and momentum-based entries across timeframes.
This tool combines the most battle-tested market filters (EMAs, VWAP, MACD, ZLSMA, Supertrend, UT Bot, Volume/ADX/RSI filters) into a unified signal framework — backed by an optional Bias Table that displays alignment across methods and timeframes.
BACKGROUND — ABOUT THIS METHOD
This Indicators Suite is based on momentum-trend alignment , a trading methodology that:
* Confirms trend structure using moving averages (EMA crossovers & price vs EMA-200),
* Validates trend strength using MACD separation, volume pressure, and ADX confirmation,
* Confirms timing using momentum oscillators (RSI pullbacks), VWAP positioning, and trend filters,
* Optionally delays entries using the UT Bot trailing confirmation or Supertrend .
It's a multi-layered filtering helps reduce false signals, especially in choppy conditions.
USAGE
This indicator is best suited for:
Intraday trend trading (scalping or day trading),
Swing trading based on HTF confirmation (1D/1W),
Combining bias + technical signal + volume + price context for cleaner entries.
It is especially powerful on assets with well-defined structure (e.g., crypto, indices, high-volume stocks).
Signal Labels
The script plots `LONG` (green) or `SHORT` (red) labels when all your configured filters align.
✅ To use these labels effectively:
Only take LONG signals when the bias table shows green ("BULLISH"),
Only take SHORT when the bias table shows red ("BEARISH"),
Avoid signals on NEUTRAL bias (gray), or consider smaller positions.
Bias Table Panel
The indicator features a compact Bias summary table , showing the current directional bias from:
Timeframe trends (1H, 4H, 1D)
Indicator states (EMA cross, EMA200, VWAP, MACD, ZLSMA, UT Bot, Supertrend)
Each cell is color-coded:
🟢 Green = Bullish
🔴 Red = Bearish
⚪ Gray = Neutral
Trend Filters
These are the primary trend components:
EMA Short vs Long : Fast/Slow structure
EMA-200 : Long-term bias
ZLSMA : Zero-lag regression slope
Supertrend : Dynamic trendline with noise-filtering
UT Bot : ATR-based trailing signal with optional filters (swing, %change, delay)
Momentum & Entry Filters
The indicator offers several modular filters to refine entry signals:
✅ MACD Separation : Requires a minimum spread between MACD and Signal line (adjustable in ATR units).
✅ VWAP Filter : Confirms that price is above/below anchored VWAP.
✅ RSI Pullback Zone : Only triggers signals when RSI is between configured pullback ranges.
✅ Volume Strength : Only confirms signals when current volume is above SMA × factor (e.g. 1.2×).

ZLEMA Trend Index 2.0ZTI — ZLEMA Trend Index 2.0 (0–1000)
Overview
Price Mapped ZTI v2.0 - Enhanced Zero-Lag Trend Index.
This indicator is a significant upgrade to the original ZTI v1.0, featuring enhanced resolution from 0-100 to 0-1000 levels for dramatically improved price action accuracy. The Price Mapped ZTI uses direct price-to-level mapping to eliminate statistical noise and provide true proportional representation of market movements.
Key Innovation: Instead of statistical normalization, this version maps current price position within a user-defined lookback period directly to the ZTI scale, ensuring perfect correlation with actual price movements. I believe this is the best way to capture trends instead of directly on the charts using a plethora of indicators which introduces bad signals resulting in drawdowns. The RSI-like ZTI overbought and oversold lines filter valid trends by slicing through the current trading zone. Unlike RSI that can introduce false signals, the ZTI levels 1 to 1000 is faithfully mapped to the lowest to highest price in the current trading zone (lookback period in days) which can be changed in the settings. The ZTI line will never go off the beyond the ZTI levels in case of extreme trend continuation as the trading zone is constantly updated to reflect only the most recent bars based on lookback days.
Core Features
✅ 10x Higher Resolution - 0-1000 scale provides granular movement detection
✅ Adjustable Trading Zone - Customizable lookback period from 1-50 days
✅ Price-Proportional Mapping - Direct correlation between price position and ZTI level
✅ Zero Statistical Lag - No rolling averages or standard deviation calculations
✅ Multi-Strategy Adaptability - Single parameter adjustment for different trading styles

How It Works
The indicator maps the current price position within the specified lookback period directly to a 0-1000 scale and plots it using ZLEMA (Zero Lag Exponential Moving Average) which has the least lag of the available popular moving averages:
Price at recent high = ZTI at 1000
Price at recent low = ZTI at 1
Price at mid-range = ZTI at 500
This creates perfect proportional representation where every price movement translates directly to corresponding ZTI movement, eliminating the false signals common in traditional oscillators.
This single, versatile indicator adapts to any market condition, timeframe, or trading style through one simple parameter adjustment, making it an essential tool for traders at every level.

VXN EMA BandThis indicator is based on other open source scripts. It's designed for Nasdaq futures (NQ or MNQ). It plots an EMA Band consisting of three exponential moving averages (EMAs) with a period of 96, each using a different price source: low, (high + low + close)/3, and high. The EMAs are colored to indicate their source: darkest turquoise for the low-based EMA, medium turquoise for the (high + low + close)/3-based EMA, and lightest turquoise for the high-based EMA. This visual distinction helps traders identify price trends relative to these key levels.
The indicator also includes background coloring based on the VXN index direction (using CBOE:VXN) to highlight bullish or bearish market conditions. A bullish trend is suggested when the EMAs are aligned (EMA-High above EMA-Mid above EMA-Low) and the VXN EMA is below its SMA, indicated by a green background. A bearish trend is suggested when the EMAs are aligned (EMA-High below EMA-Mid below EMA-Low) and the VXN EMA is above its SMA, indicated by a red background.
VXN Range FilterThis indicator is based on other open source scripts. It's designed for Nasdaq futures (NQ and MNQ), combining a range filter with CBOE VXN Index (Nasdaq-100 volatility) signals to identify buy and sell opportunities.
It overlays on the price chart, using a smoothed price filter to reduce noise and dynamic bands for target zones. The VXN's EMA and SMA determine bullish (EMA < SMA, green background)
or bearish (EMA > SMA, red background) market conditions to confirm signals. Buy/sell signals are generated when the price breaks out of the filter in the trend direction, confirmed by the VXN state and a change in prior condition to avoid redundant signals.
The indicator is suitable for swing or trend-following strategies, with adjustable parameters
for customization. Visuals include colored bars (white: bullish, blue: bearish, light blue: neutral), target bands, and labeled signals. Alerts are provided for buy, sell, or both.

VXN OBV Traffic LightsThe VXN OBV Traffic Lights indicator is based on other open source scripts. It's designed for Nasdaq futures (NQ/MNQ) uses On-Balance Volume (OBV) to gauge buying and selling pressure, filtered by the VXN (CBOE Nasdaq Volatility Index) trend. OBV accumulates volume based on price direction: positive volume when the Heikin Ashi smoothed close rises, negative when it falls, and zero when unchanged. Three EMAs (fast, medium, slow) of OBV act as "traffic lights" to signal momentum strength, with a Donchian baseline providing a midpoint reference. Buy/sell signals are visually reinforced when OBV crosses its slow EMA, colored green (bullish) or red (bearish). The VXN trend (EMA vs. 200-period SMA) sets the background: green for bullish (lower volatility, VXN EMA < SMA) or red for bearish (higher volatility, VXN EMA > SMA), helping traders align trades with market conditions.
VXN RSI VWAP basedThis indicator is based on other open source scripts. It's designed for trading Nasdaq futures (NQ and MNQ). It generates trading signals based on the Relative Strength Index (RSI) calculated from multiple VWAP-based price series with different lengths. The VXN index (CBOE Nasdaq Volatility Index) is used to filter signals via background color.
- RSI Signals: Bullish signals occur when any RSI crosses above the 20 level (oversold), and bearish signals occur when any RSI crosses below the 80 level (overbought). These are plotted as green/red circles.
- VXN Filter: Traders should only take bullish signals (RSI > 20) when the background is green (VXN 1-period EMA < 200-period SMA, indicating bullish sentiment) and bearish signals (RSI < 80) when the background is red (VXN 1-period EMA > 200-period SMA, indicating bearish sentiment).
- Additional Signals: Optional signals are generated when all RSI lines are simultaneously bullish (green) or bearish (red), plotted as triangles if enabled.
Usage: Apply this indicator to a Nasdaq futures chart (NQ or MNQ) in TradingView. Wait for RSI crossovers above 20 when the background is green for long trades, and crossunders below 80 when the background is red for short trades. Adjust VWAP lengths, RSI length, and VXN settings to suit your trading strategy.
VXN VWAP & TWAPThis indicator is based on other open source scripts. It's designed for trading Nasdaq futures (NQ and MNQ). It provides directional guidance by combining the VXN index (CBOE Nasdaq Volatility Index) with VWAP and TWAP.
- VXN: Helps assess market volatility and sentiment for Nasdaq futures. A 1-period EMA and 200-period SMA of VXN are used to determine bullish (EMA < SMA) or bearish (EMA > SMA) conditions, visualized via background color.
- VWAP: Calculates the volume-weighted average price, serving as a dynamic support/resistance level. Its direction (rising or falling) indicates bullish or bearish momentum.
- TWAP: Calculates the time-weighted average price over a user-defined anchor period, useful for identifying average price trends over time.
Usage: Traders should align their trades with the direction of VWAP and TWAP (green for bullish, red for bearish) and use the VXN EMA vs. SMA crossover to confirm market sentiment (green background for bullish, red for bearish).

LogPressure Envelope [BOSWaves]LogPressure Envelope – Adaptive Volatility & Trend Visualizer
Overview
LogPressure Envelope is a specialized trading tool designed to normalize market behavior using logarithmic price scaling while providing an adaptive framework for volatility and trend detection. The indicator calculates a log-based moving average midline, surrounds it with asymmetric volatility envelopes, and replaces the conventional cloud with progressive fan lines to present price action in a more interpretable form.
By integrating rate-of-change midline coloring, fading trend strength, and structured buy/sell markers, LogPressure Envelope simplifies the reading of complex market dynamics. Its design makes it suitable for multiple trading approaches, including scalping, intraday, and swing trading, where volatility behavior and trend shifts must be understood quickly and objectively.
Unlike static envelope indicators, LogPressure Envelope adapts continuously to price scale and volatility conditions. It evaluates log-transformed prices, applies configurable moving average methods (EMA, SMA, WMA), and derives asymmetric standard-deviation bands for both upside and downside moves. These envelopes are projected as fan lines with adjustable opacity, producing a layered volatility map that evolves with the market.
This system ensures each visual element—midline shading, candle coloring, fan structure, and signal markers—reflects real-time market conditions, allowing traders to interpret volatility expansion, contraction, and directional bias with clarity.
How It Works
The foundation of LogPressure Envelope is the logarithmic transformation of price. By operating in log space, the indicator removes distortions caused by large nominal price differences across assets, enabling consistent analysis of both low-priced and high-priced instruments.
A moving average of log prices is calculated (EMA, SMA, or WMA depending on user input) and then re-converted to normal price scale, forming the log midline. Standard deviation of log prices is then measured over a separate period, with independent multipliers for upside and downside deviations. This asymmetry captures the fact that markets often expand differently in bullish versus bearish phases.
Instead of plotting a filled cloud, the envelope is expressed as ten equidistant fan lines stretching from the lower to upper boundary. Each line is shaded progressively to visualize volatility clustering and directional strength without overloading the chart.
Trend determination is smoothed using a fade mechanism: shifts in bias do not flip instantly but gradually move toward the new state, producing fewer false transitions. Buy and sell markers are generated when trend strength crosses confirmation thresholds, ensuring signals are event-driven and contextually meaningful.
Signals and Visuals
LogPressure Envelope provides multiple layers of structured signals:
Midline Bias – Central moving average colored by rate-of-change, reflecting directional acceleration or deceleration.
Volatility Fan – Ten progressive lines forming a gradient between lower and upper bands, visually encoding volatility spread.
Buy Signals – Labels below bars when upward trend strength is confirmed.
Sell Signals – Labels above bars when downward trend strength is confirmed.
Candle Coloring – Optional shading of candles based on trend alignment with the log midline, highlighting bullish, bearish, or neutral conditions.
These signals remain clear even during high-volatility phases, with visual hierarchy maintained through progressive opacity control.
Interpretation
Trend Analysis : Midline direction and candle coloring provide continuous feedback on prevailing bias. Upward-sloping midlines with blue shading indicate bullish phases, while downward slopes with orange shading confirm bearish conditions.
Volatility and Risk Assessment : Expansion of fan lines indicates rising volatility and potential breakout conditions; contraction indicates consolidation and possible mean reversion.
Signal Confirmation : Buy and sell markers validate transitions when trend strength thresholds are crossed, aligning with volatility envelope dynamics.
Market Context : Asymmetric envelopes allow traders to see where bearish acceleration differs from bullish expansion, improving interpretation of liquidity conditions and institutional pressure.
Strategy Integration
LogPressure Envelope can be applied across trading styles:
Trend Following : Enter trades in the direction of midline bias, confirmed by buy or sell markers.
Pullback Entries : Use midline retests during trending conditions as lower-risk continuation points.
Volatility Breakouts : Identify sharp expansions in fan line spacing as early signals of directional moves.
Reversal Strategies : Fade extreme envelope touches when momentum shows exhaustion and fan contraction begins.
Multi-Timeframe Confirmation : Align signals from higher and lower timeframes to reduce noise and validate trade setups.
Stop-loss levels can be set near the opposite envelope boundary, while targets may be managed through progressive volatility zones or midline convergence.
Advanced Techniques
For greater precision, LogPressure Envelope can be combined with other analytical tools:
Pair with volume or liquidity measures to validate breakout or reversal conditions.
Use momentum indicators to confirm ROC-based midline bias.
Track sequences of fan line expansions and contractions to anticipate regime shifts in volatility.
Apply across multiple timeframes to monitor how volatility clusters align at different market scales.
Adjusting parameters such as envelope multipliers, moving average type, and fade bars allows the indicator to adapt to diverse asset classes and volatility environments.
Inputs and Customization
Midline Type : Select EMA, SMA, or WMA.
Line Opacity : Control visibility of fan lines.
Enable Candle Coloring : Toggle trend-based bar shading.
MA Length / StdDev Length : Define periods for midline and volatility calculation.
Multipliers : Set asymmetric scaling for upside and downside envelopes.
Fade Bars : Control smoothness of trend strength transitions.
Fan Lines : Adjust number of envelope subdivisions for visualization granularity.
Why Use LogPressure Envelope
LogPressure Envelope translates complex volatility and trend interactions into a structured and adaptive framework. By combining logarithmic normalization, asymmetric standard deviation envelopes, and smoothed trend confirmation, it allows traders to:
Normalize price analysis across assets of different scales.
Visualize volatility expansion and contraction in real time.
Identify and confirm directional shifts with objective signal markers.
Apply a disciplined system for trend, breakout, and reversal strategies.
This indicator is designed for traders who want a systematic, visually clear approach to volatility-based market analysis without relying on static bands or arbitrary scaling.
Moving Average Adaptive RSI [BackQuant]Moving Average Adaptive RSI
What this is
A momentum oscillator that reshapes classic RSI into a zero-centered column plot and makes it adaptive. It builds RSI from two parts:
• A sensitivity window that scans several recent bars to capture the strongest up and down impulses.
• A selectable moving average that smooths those impulses before computing RSI.
The output ranges roughly from −100 to +100 with 0 as the midline, with optional extra smoothing and built-in divergence detection.
How it works
Impulse extraction
• For each bar the script inspects the last rsi_sen bars and collects upward and downward price changes versus the current price.
• It keeps the maximum upward change and maximum downward change from that window, emphasizing true bursts over single-bar noise.
MA-based averaging
• The up and down impulse series are averaged with your chosen MA over rsi_len bars.
• Supported MA types: SMA, EMA, DEMA, WMA, HMA, SMMA (RMA), TEMA.
Zero-centered RSI transform
• RS = UpMA ÷ DownMA, then mapped to a symmetric scale: 100 − 200 ÷ (1 + RS) .
• Above 0 implies positive momentum bias. Below 0 implies negative momentum bias.
Optional extra smoothing
• A second smoothing pass can be applied to the final oscillator using smoothing_len and smooth_type . Toggle with “Use Extra Smoothing”.
Visual encoding
• The oscillator is drawn as columns around the zero line with a gradient that intensifies toward extremes.
• Static bands mark 80 to 100 and −80 to −100 for extreme conditions.
Key inputs and what they change
• Price Source : input series for momentum.
• Calculation Period (rsi_len) : primary averaging window on up and down components. Higher = smoother, slower.
• Sensitivity (rsi_sen) : how many recent bars are scanned to find max impulses. Higher = more responsive to bursts.
• Calculation Type (ma_type) : MA family that shapes the core behavior. HMA or DEMA is faster, SMA or SMMA is slower.
• Smoothing Type and Length : optional second pass to calm noise on the final output.
• UI toggles : show or hide the oscillator, candle painting, and extreme bands.
Reading the oscillator
• Midline cross up (0) : momentum bias turning positive.
• Midline cross down (0) : momentum bias turning negative.
• Positive territory :
– 0 to 40: constructive but not stretched.
– 40 to 80: strong momentum, continuation more likely.
– Above 80: extreme risk of mean reversion grows.
• Negative territory : mirror the same levels for the downside.
Divergence detection
The script plots four divergence types using pivot highs and lows on both price and the oscillator. Lookbacks are set by lbL and lbR .
• Regular bullish : price lower low, oscillator higher low. Possible downside exhaustion.
• Hidden bullish : price higher low, oscillator lower low. Bias to trend continuation up.
• Regular bearish : price higher high, oscillator lower high. Possible upside exhaustion.
• Hidden bearish : price lower high, oscillator higher high. Bias to trend continuation down.
Labels: ℝ for regular, ℍ for hidden. Green for bullish, red for bearish.
Candle coloring
• Optional bar painting: green when the oscillator is above 0, red when below 0. This is for visual scanning only.
Strengths
• Adaptive sensitivity via a rolling impulse window that responds to genuine bursts.
• Configurable MA core so you can match responsiveness to the instrument.
• Zero-centered scale for simple regime reads with 0 as a clear bias line.
• Built-in regular and hidden divergence mapping.
• Flexible across symbols and timeframes once tuned.
Limitations and cautions
• Trends can remain extended. Treat extremes as context rather than automatic reversal signals.
• Divergence quality depends on pivot lookbacks. Short lookbacks give more signals with more noise. Long lookbacks reduce noise but add lag.
• Double smoothing can delay zero-line transitions. Balance smoothness and timeliness.
Practical usage ideas
• Regime filter : only take long setups from your separate method when the oscillator is above 0, shorts when below 0.
• Pullback confirmation : in uptrends, look for dips that hold above 0 or turn up from 0 to 40. Reverse for downtrends.
• Divergence as a heads-up : wait for a zero-line cross or a price trigger before acting on divergence.
• Sensitivity tuning : start with rsi_sen 2 to 5 on faster timeframes, increase slightly on slower charts.
Alerts
• MA-A RSI Long : oscillator crosses above 0.
• MA-A RSI Short : oscillator crosses below 0.
Use these as bias or timing aids, not standalone trade commands.
Settings quick reference
• Calculation : Price Source, Calculation Type, Calculation Period, Sensitivity.
• Smoothing : Smoothing Type, Smoothing Length, Use Extra Smoothing.
• UI : Show Oscillator, Paint Candles, Show Static High and Low Levels.
• Divergences : Pivot Lookback Left and Right, Div Signal Length, Show Detected Divergences.
Final thoughts
This tool reframes RSI by extracting strong short-term impulses and averaging them with a moving-average model of your choice, then presenting a zero-centered output for clear regime reads. Pair it with your structure, risk and execution process, and tune sensitivity and smoothing to the market you trade.
Price Heat Meter [ChartPrime]⯁ OVERVIEW
Price Heat Meter visualizes where price sits inside its recent range and turns that into an intuitive “temperature” read. Using rolling extremes, candles fade from ❄️ aqua (cold) near the lower bound to 🔥 red (hot) near the upper bound. The tool also trails recent extreme levels, tags unusually persistent extremes with a % “heat” label, and shows a bottom gauge (0–100%) with a live arrow so you can read market heat at a glance.
⯁ KEY FEATURES
Rolling Heat Map (0–100%):
The script measures where the close sits between the current Lowest Low and Highest High over the chosen Length (default 50).
Candles use a two-stage gradient: aqua → yellow (0–50%), then yellow → red (50–100%). This makes “how stretched are we?” instantly visible.
Dynamic Extremes with Time Decay:
When a new rolling High or Low is set, the script starts a faint horizontal trail at that price. Each bar that passes without a new extreme increases a counter; the line’s color gradually fades over time and fully disappears after ~100 bars, keeping the chart clean.
Persistent-Extreme Tags (Reversal Hints):
If an extreme persists for 40 bars (i.e., price hasn’t reclaimed or surpassed it), the tool stamps the original extreme pivot with its recorded Heat% at the moment the extreme formed.
• Upper extremes print a red % label (possible exhaustion/resistance context).
• Lower extremes print an aqua % label (possible exhaustion/support context).
Bottom Heat Gauge (0–100% Scale):
A compact, gradient bar renders at the bottom center showing the current Heat% with an arrow/label. ❄️ anchors the left (0%), 🔥 anchors the right (100%). The arrow adopts the same candle heat color for consistency.
Minimal Inputs, Clear Theme:
• Length (lookback window for H/L)
• Heat Color set (Cold / Mid / Hot)
The defaults give a balanced, legible gradient on most assets/timeframes.
Signal Hygiene by Design:
The meter doesn’t “call” reversals. Instead, it contextualizes price within its range and highlights the aging of extremes. That keeps it robust across regimes and assets, and ideal as a confluence layer with your existing triggers.
⯁ HOW IT WORKS (UNDER THE HOOD)
Range Model:
H = Highest(High, Length), L = Lowest(Low, Length). Heat% = 100 × (Close − L) / (H − L).
Extreme Tracking & Fade:
When High == H , we record/update the current upper extreme; same for Low == L on the lower side. If the extreme doesn’t change on the next bar, a counter increments and the plotted line’s opacity shifts along a 0→100 fade scale (visual decay).
40-Bar Persistence Labels:
On the bar after the extreme forms, the code stores the bar_index and the contemporaneous Heat% . If the extreme survives 40 bars, it places a % label at the original pivot price and index—flagging levels that were meaningfully “tested by time.”
Unified Color Logic:
Both candles and the gauge use the same two-stage gradient (Cold→Mid, then Mid→Hot), so your eye reads “heat” consistently across all elements.
⯁ USAGE
Treat >80% as “hot” and <20% as “cold” context; combine with your trigger (e.g., structure, OB, div, breakouts) instead of acting on heat alone.
Watch persistent extreme labels (40-bar marks) as reference zones for reaction or liquidity grabs.
Use the fading extreme lines as a memory map of where price last stretched—levels that slowly matter less as they decay.
Tighten Length for intraday sensitivity or increase it for swing stability.
⯁ WHY IT’S UNIQUE
Rather than another oscillator, Price Heat Meter translates simple market geometry (rolling extremes) into a readable temperature layer with time-aware extremes and a synchronized gauge . You get a continuously updated sense of stretch, persistence, and potential reversal context—without clutter or overfitting.
(LES/SES) Compliment Net Volume(LES/SES) Compliment Net Volume
(LES/SES) Compliment Net Volume is a volume-based confirmation tool designed to show whether buyers or sellers are truly in control behind the candles. It acts as a compliment to the Long Elite Squeeze (LES) and Short Elite Squeeze (SES) frameworks, giving traders a clearer view of momentum strength.
Note! {Short Elite Squeeze (SES) Will be released in the Future}
-Designed to take shorts opposite of the long trades from LES
🔹 Core Logic
Net Volume Calculation – Positive volume when price closes higher, negative when price closes lower.
Cumulative Smoothing – Uses a rolling SMA of cumulative differences to remove noise.
Color Coding –
Green → Buyer dominance
Red → Seller dominance
Gray → Neutral pressure
🔹 How to Use
Above zero (green) → Buyers dominate → supports long setups (LES).
Below zero (red) → Sellers dominate → supports short setups (SES).
Flat/gray → No clear pressure → signals caution or chop.
This makes it easier to confirm when market participation aligns with a potential entry or exit.
🔹 Credit
The Compliment Net Volume was developed by Hunter Hammond (Elite x FineFir) as part of the LES/SES system.
The concept builds on classic Net Volume and cumulative volume analysis principles shared by the TradingView community, but has been uniquely adapted into the LES/SES framework.
⚠️ Disclaimer: This is a framework tool, not financial advice. Use with proper risk management.
Long Elite Squeeze (LES) — H.H 22 Lindsay (AI)LES (Long Elite Squeeze)
LES (Long Elite Squeeze) is a trading framework designed to capture the highest-probability long setups. It’s not just another signal script — it’s a structured system built to filter noise, manage risk, and keep you aligned with real momentum.
🔹 Core Logic
Breakout Confirmation – Ensures moves have structure, not just random spikes.
Relative Volume (RVOL) – Confirms participation and fuel behind the move.
RSI Alignment – Avoids overextended traps and fakeouts.
Squeeze Momentum – The backbone of LES. Signals fire only after a defined squeeze pattern shift (6+ dark green bars followed by a light green bar).
🔹 Trade Management Built In
Automated Sell Signals – Trigger on either:
2 consecutive dark green bars on Squeeze Momentum
WaveTrend cross down
(only valid after a Buy signal — no random shorts)
HUD Entry Checklist – Live conditions shown on chart.
Status Tracker HUD – Flips between “Waiting for Entry” and “In Trade” for clear context.
🔹 Flexibility
3 switchable squeeze versions (V1, V2, V3) for different market conditions.
Customizable EMA & ATR settings (with color options).
Session-aware logic — filter signals to prime trading hours.
🔹 Blueprint & Credits
LES is a fusion of proven concepts, standing on the shoulders of respected creators:
-Squeeze Momentum – LazyBear
-WaveTrend Oscillator – LazyBear
-Relative Volume – LonesomeTheBlue
Breakout/structural logic – refined from classic frameworks
Their work laid the foundation — LES expands and integrates them into a complete trading system.
⚡ Why LES Stands Out
LES wasn’t coded overnight. It’s the result of countless hours of live testing, rebuilding, and refining. Every feature earned its place by proving value in real trading, not theory.
LES is more than an indicator. It’s a disciplined framework — crafted to turn chaos into structure, randomness into probability, and noise into clarity.
⚠️ Disclaimer: This is a trading framework, not financial advice. Performance depends on trader discipline, risk management, and market conditions.

Tide Tracker ZonesTide Tracker Zones – Advanced Trend & Pullback Visualizer
Overview
Tide Tracker Zones is a sophisticated trading tool designed for traders who require clarity, precision, and actionable insights in real time. The indicator converts price action into dynamic trend zones, allowing users to instantly recognize market direction, potential reversals, and low-risk entry opportunities. By visualizing the market in this way, traders can focus on execution rather than deciphering complex charts.
Unlike static indicators, Tide Tracker Zones adapts to market volatility, providing a clear picture of bullish and bearish pressure across multiple timeframes. Its visual design, including color-coded trend zones, a prominent guide line, and carefully placed signals, ensures that market behavior is easy to interpret, making it suitable for scalping, swing trading, and longer-term strategies alike.
How It Works
The indicator relies on dynamic upper and lower bands derived from recent price ranges and a configurable multiplier. These bands expand during volatile periods and contract when price action stabilizes, creating flexible zones that reflect the dominant market tide.
A guide line tracks the active band, serving as a continuous reference for trend direction. Unlike traditional moving averages, the guide line does not clutter the chart but instead provides a subtle, intuitive indication of whether the market is in a bullish or bearish phase. Background shading reinforces this trend visually, highlighting bullish zones in one color and bearish zones in another, so the prevailing market flow is immediately clear.
The system continuously evaluates price relative to the bands to determine trend direction and detect potential reversals. When price crosses a band and flips the trend, the guide line updates, and signals are generated, providing traders with actionable information without overwhelming the chart.
Signals and Pullbacks
Tide Tracker Zones offers visual cues that make entry points more obvious and less speculative. Trend reversal arrows are plotted when the market changes direction: BUY arrows indicate a shift from bearish to bullish, and SELL arrows indicate a shift from bullish to bearish.
The indicator also highlights first pullbacks within an active trend. These pullback dots mark low-risk opportunities to enter a trend in progress, filtered to ensure that only the most relevant signals are displayed. The system uses ATR-based spacing to place arrows and dots vertically on the chart, preventing visual clutter and ensuring readability even during periods of high volatility.
Color-coded zones enhance situational awareness. Bullish zones are displayed in a customizable orange, while bearish zones are shown in green. Transparency is dynamically adjusted to maintain chart clarity while still providing a clear indication of trend strength.
Strategy Integration
Tide Tracker Zones can be used effectively for both trend-following and pullback strategies. Traders may enter positions in the direction of the guide line and colored zone, using trend reversal arrows for confirmation. First pullback dots offer tactical entries with reduced risk, allowing traders to enter a trend after a brief retracement.
Stop-loss levels can be placed just beyond the opposing trend zone, while take-profit targets may be determined using the width of the bands to account for market volatility. The indicator adapts seamlessly across multiple timeframes. Higher timeframes provide context and filter noise, while lower timeframes allow traders to refine entry timing. This makes it a versatile tool for scalping, swing trading, or longer-term positions.
Advanced Techniques
For traders seeking greater precision, Tide Tracker Zones can be combined with volume or momentum indicators to validate signals. Observing the sequence of trend arrows and pullback dots allows users to develop a systematic approach to entries and exits. Monitoring the width and behavior of the bands over time can also provide insights into periods of expanding or contracting volatility, helping traders anticipate market shifts.
Adjustments to the spread length and multiplier allow the indicator to be tuned for different assets and market conditions. By understanding the interaction between the guide line, trend zones, and pullback signals, traders can create a robust framework for decision-making, reducing guesswork and improving consistency.
Why Use Tide Tracker Zones
Tide Tracker Zones provides instant clarity and actionable insight in any market. Its dynamic zones and guide line give a clear visual understanding of trend direction, while trend reversal arrows and pullback dots highlight potential entry points. Unlike traditional indicators, it adapts to volatility and changing conditions, making it reliable across multiple asset classes and timeframes.
By combining trend detection, pullback analysis, and intuitive visual guidance, Tide Tracker Zones equips traders with a complete framework for disciplined, confident trading, transforming complex price action into a visual map of opportunity.
VWAP For Loop [BackQuant]VWAP For Loop
What this tool does—in one sentence
A volume-weighted trend gauge that anchors VWAP to a calendar period (day/week/month/quarter/year) and then scores the persistence of that VWAP trend with a simple for-loop “breadth” count; the result is a clean, threshold-driven oscillator plus an optional VWAP overlay and alerts.
Plain-English overview
Instead of judging raw price alone, this indicator focuses on anchored VWAP —the market’s average price paid during your chosen institutional period. It then asks a simple question across a configurable set of lookback steps: “Is the current anchored VWAP higher than it was i bars ago—or lower?” Each “yes” adds +1, each “no” adds −1. Summing those answers creates a score that reflects how consistently the volume-weighted trend has been rising or falling. Extreme positive scores imply persistent, broad strength; deeply negative scores imply persistent weakness. Crossing predefined thresholds produces objective long/short events and color-coded context.
Under the hood
• Anchoring — VWAP using hlc3 × volume resets exactly when the selected period rolls:
Day → session change, Week → new week, Month → new month, Quarter/Year → calendar quarter/year.
• For-loop scoring — For lag steps i = , compare today’s VWAP to VWAP .
– If VWAP > VWAP , add +1.
– Else, add −1.
The final score ∈ , where N = (end − start + 1). With defaults (1→45), N = 45.
• Signal logic (stateful)
– Long when score > upper (e.g., > 40 with N = 45 → VWAP higher than ~89% of checked lags).
– Short on crossunder of lower (e.g., dropping below −10).
– A compact state variable ( out ) holds the current regime: +1 (long), −1 (short), otherwise unchanged. This “stickiness” avoids constant flipping between bars without sufficient evidence.
Why VWAP + a breadth score?
• VWAP aggregates both price and volume—where participants actually traded.
• The breadth-style count rewards consistency of the anchored trend, not one-off spikes.
• Thresholds give you binary structure when you need it (alerts, automation), without complex math.
What you’ll see on the chart
• Sub-pane oscillator — The for-loop score line, colored by regime (long/short/neutral).
• Main-pane VWAP (optional) — Even though the indicator runs off-chart, the anchored VWAP can be overlaid on price (toggle visibility and whether it inherits trend colors).
• Threshold guides — Horizontal lines for the long/short bands (toggle).
• Cosmetics — Optional candle painting and background shading by regime; adjustable line width and colors.
Input map (quick reference)
• VWAP Anchor Period — Day, Week, Month, Quarter, Year.
• Calculation Start/End — The for-loop lag window . With 1→45, you evaluate 45 comparisons.
• Long/Short Thresholds — Default upper=40, lower=−10 (asymmetric by design; see below).
• UI/Style — Show thresholds, paint candles, background color, line width, VWAP visibility and coloring, custom long/short colors.
Interpreting the score
• Near +N — Current anchored VWAP is above most historical VWAP checkpoints in the window → entrenched strength.
• Near −N — Current anchored VWAP is below most checkpoints → entrenched weakness.
• Between — Mixed, choppy, or transitioning regimes; use thresholds to avoid reacting to noise.
Why the asymmetric default thresholds?
• Long = score > upper (40) — Demands unusually broad upside persistence before declaring “long regime.”
• Short = crossunder lower (−10) — Triggers only on downward momentum events (a fresh breach), not merely being below −10. This combination tends to:
– Capture sustained uptrends only when they’re very strong.
– Flag downside turns as they occur, rather than waiting for an extreme negative breadth.
Tuning guide
Choose an anchor that matches your horizon
– Intraday scalps : Day anchor on intraday charts.
– Swing/position : Month or Quarter anchor on 1h/4h/D charts to capture institutional cycles.
Pick the for-loop window
– Larger N (bigger end) = stronger evidence requirement, smoother oscillator.
– Smaller N = faster, more reactive score.
Set achievable thresholds
– Ensure upper ≤ N and lower ≥ −N ; if N=30, an upper of 40 can never trigger.
– Symmetric setups (e.g., +20/−20) are fine if you want balanced behavior.
Match visuals to intent
– Enabling VWAP coloring lets you see regime directly on price.
– Background shading is useful for discretionary reading; turn it off for cleaner automation displays.
Playbook examples
• Trend confirmation with disciplined entries — On Month anchor, N=45, upper=38–42: when the long regime engages, use pullbacks toward anchored VWAP on the main pane for entries, with stops just beyond VWAP or a recent swing.
• Downside transition detection — Keep lower around −8…−12 and watch for crossunders; combine with price losing anchored VWAP to validate risk-off.
• Intraday bias filter — Day anchor on a 5–15m chart, N=20–30, upper ~ 16–20, lower ~ −6…−10. Only take longs while score is positive and above a midline you define (e.g., 0), and shorts only after a genuine crossunder.
Behavior around resets (important)
Anchored VWAP is hard-reset each period. Immediately after a reset, the series can be young and comparisons to pre-reset values may span two periods. If you prefer within-period evaluation only, choose end small enough not to bridge typical period length on your timeframe, or accept that the breadth test intentionally spans regimes.
Alerts included
• VWAP FL Long — Fires when the long condition is true (score > upper and not in short).
• VWAP FL Short — Fires on crossunder of the lower threshold (event-driven).
Messages include {{ticker}} and {{interval}} placeholders for routing.
Strengths
• Simple, transparent math — Easy to reason about and validate.
• Volume-aware by construction — Decisions reference VWAP, not just price.
• Robust to single-bar noise — Needs many lags to agree before flipping state (by design, via thresholds and the stateful output).
Limitations & cautions
• Threshold feasibility — If N < upper or |lower| > N, signals will never trigger; always cross-check N.
• Path dependence — The state variable persists until a new event; if you want frequent re-evaluation, lower thresholds or reduce N.
• Regime changes — Calendar resets can produce early ambiguity; expect a few bars for the breadth to mature.
• VWAP sensitivity to volume spikes — Large prints can tilt VWAP abruptly; that behavior is intentional in VWAP-based logic.
Suggested starting profiles
• Intraday trend bias : Anchor=Day, N=25 (1→25), upper=18–20, lower=−8, paint candles ON.
• Swing bias : Anchor=Month, N=45 (1→45), upper=38–42, lower=−10, VWAP coloring ON, background OFF.
• Balanced reactivity : Anchor=Week, N=30 (1→30), upper=20–22, lower=−10…−12, symmetric if desired.
Implementation notes
• The indicator runs in a separate pane (oscillator), but VWAP itself is drawn on price using forced overlay so you can see interactions (touches, reclaim/loss).
• HLC3 is used for VWAP price; that’s a common choice to dampen wick noise while still reflecting intrabar range.
• For-loop cap is kept modest (≤50) for performance and clarity.
How to use this responsibly
Treat the oscillator as a bias and persistence meter . Combine it with your entry framework (structure breaks, liquidity zones, higher-timeframe context) and risk controls. The design emphasizes clarity over complexity—its edge is in how strictly it demands agreement before declaring a regime, not in predicting specific turns.
Summary
VWAP For Loop distills the question “How broadly is the anchored, volume-weighted trend advancing or retreating?” into a single, thresholded score you can read at a glance, alert on, and color through your chart. With careful anchoring and thresholds sized to your window length, it becomes a pragmatic bias filter for both systematic and discretionary workflows.
Forecasting Quadratic Regression [UPDATED V6] Forecasting Quadratic Regression applies a second-degree polynomial regression model to price data, offering a non-linear alternative to traditional linear regression. By fitting a quadratic curve of the form:
y=a+bx+cx2
the indicator captures both directional trend and curvature, allowing traders to detect momentum shifts earlier than with straight-line models.
🔹 Core Features
Fits a quadratic regression curve to user-defined lookback periods
Extends the fitted curve forward to generate forecast projections
Calculates slope curvature to highlight trend acceleration or deceleration
Adapts dynamically as new bars are added
🔹 Trading Applications
Identify potential reversal zones when the curve inflects (2nd derivative sign change)
Forecast near-term mean reversion targets or extended trend continuations
Filter trades by measuring momentum curvature rather than linear slope
Visualize higher-order structure in price beyond standard regression lines
⚠️ Note: This model is statistical and assumes past curvature informs short-term future price paths. It should be combined with confirmation signals (volume, oscillators, support/resistance) to reduce false inflection points.
