Auto Trend Channel [TCMaster]This indicator automatically identifies key swing highs and lows to draw dynamic trend channels on your chart. It works on the current timeframe or any higher timeframe of your choice. The trend channel is extended into the future to help visualize potential price movement.
Features:
Detects significant pivot highs and pivot lows based on configurable sensitivity.
Automatically plots an upper resistance line and a lower support line to form a trend channel.
Extends the trend channel into the future by a configurable number of bars.
Optionally supports higher timeframe analysis to smooth out price action.
Fills the area between the upper and lower trend lines for better visualization.
Inputs:
Pivot Sensitivity: Number of bars used to detect pivot highs/lows. Higher values filter out minor swings.
Extend Future (bars): How many bars the trend lines should be extended forward.
Timeframe: Choose a higher timeframe to calculate pivots, or leave blank to use the current chart timeframe.
Usage:
Use this indicator to visually identify trending price channels and potential support/resistance zones. It can be helpful for trend trading, breakout strategies, and swing analysis.
Lorentzian Length Adaptive Moving Average [LLAMA] Adaptation of "Machine Learning: Lorentzian Classification" by
Gradient color by base on work by
LLAMA: A regime-aware adaptive moving average that bends with the market.
Start with a problem traders know:
Traditional moving averages are either too slow (EMA200) or too fast (EMA9)
Adaptive MAs exist, but they often hug price too tightly or smooth too much, failing to balance bias and tactics
LLAMA uses a Lorentzian distance function to adapt its length dynamically. Instead of a fixed smoothing window, it stretches or contracts depending on market conditions. This distortion reduces lag while still providing a clear bias line.
The indicator looks back at recent bars and measures how similar they are using a Lorentzian distance (a log‑scaled absolute difference). It keeps track of the “nearest neighbors” — bars that most resemble the current regime. Each neighbor carries a label (long, short, neutral) based on simple price comparisons. By averaging these labels, LLAMA predicts whether the market is leaning bullish or bearish. That prediction is then mapped into a dynamic length between and .
Bullish bias -> length stretches toward max (smoother, more stable).
Bearish bias -> length contracts toward min (snappier, more reactive).
During breakouts, LLAMA tightens and comes into contact with bars, giving actionable signals. During chop, it stretches to avoid false triggers. It covers both ends of the spectrum (bias and tactics) in one line, something static MA's can't do.
Think of LLAMA as a lens that bends with the market:
Wide lens (max length) for big picture bias.
Narrow lens (min length) for tactical precision.
The "Lorentzian Loop" is the math that decides when to widen or narrow.
Volume Spike HighlighterVolume Spike Highlighter is a simple and effective volume-based tool designed to highlight abnormal trading activity.
It detects when the current volume exceeds the average volume by a customizable multiplier and visually emphasizes those bars with bright colors, making unusual buying or selling pressure easy to spot.
Features:
Highlights volume spikes with enhanced green/orange color
Normal volume remains standard red/green
Adjustable lookback period and spike multiplier
Includes a smooth volume moving average for context
Clean and lightweight, ideal for intraday or swing traders
This indicator helps traders quickly identify strong participation, breakouts, absorption zones, trap candles, and areas where institutions may be active.
ATR Risk Display - Multi FuturesWhat This Does
I got tired of manually calculating my ATR stops and risk for different futures contracts, especially when switching between ES, NQ, and their micro versions. This indicator automatically detects what futures symbol you're trading and shows you the exact tick count and dollar risk for your stop loss.
The Problem It Solves
If you trade futures with ATR-based stops, you know the hassle:
Different contracts have different tick values
You need to calculate position risk in dollars
Switching between symbols means redoing all the math
Renko charts make it even more confusing since ATR needs to come from regular candles
This handles all of that automatically.
Key Features
Auto-detects futures symbols - ES, NQ, YM, RTY, GC, CL, and all the micros (MES, MNQ, etc.)
Shows everything you need in one line: ATR(timeframe) × multiplier = X ticks ($XXX)
Works on Renko charts - pulls ATR from regular timeframe charts (super important if you use Renko)
Adjustable position sizing - set your contract count and see total risk instantly
Clean, minimal display - just the info you need, no clutter
How to Use
Add it to any futures chart
Set your preferred ATR timeframe (I use 5-minute)
Set your ATR multiplier (I use 1.5x for my stops)
Set your contract size
That's it - the indicator handles the rest
The display will show something like: "ES ATR(5) × 1.5 = 12 ticks ($150)"
Settings Explained
ATR Timeframe: What timeframe to calculate ATR from (always uses regular candles, even on Renko)
ATR Multiplier: How many ATRs for your stop (1.5 is common, 2.0 for wider stops)
Number of Contracts: Your position size for risk calculation
Auto-Detect Symbol: Leave on unless you want to manually override
Supported Futures
Full size: ES, NQ, YM, RTY, GC, CL, ZB, ZN, 6E, 6J
Micros: MES, MNQ, MYM, M2K, MGC, MCL
Notes
Made this primarily for my own ES trading but figured others might find it useful
The tick values are based on standard CME specs
If you trade other futures, you can modify the code to add them
Works great alongside level indicators for risk management
Why This Exists
I use ATR trailing stops on all my trades and got tired of doing mental math every time I switched between charts or contracts. Especially useful if you trade both full-size and micro contracts - the risk difference is huge and easy to mess up.
Hope this helps your trading! Feel free to suggest improvements.
🎯 Wyckoff Order Block Entry System🎯 Wyckoff Order Block Entry System
📝 INDICATOR DESCRIPTION
🎯 Wyckoff Order Block Entry System Short Description:
Professional institutional zone trading combined with Wyckoff methodology. Identifies high-probability entries where smart money meets classic price action patterns.
Full Description:
Wyckoff Order Block Entry System is a precision trading tool that combines two powerful concepts:
Order Blocks - Institutional zones where large players place their orders
Wyckoff Method - Classic price action patterns revealing smart money behavior
🎯 What Makes This Different?
Unlike traditional indicators that flood your chart with signals, this system only triggers entries when BOTH conditions are met:
Price enters an institutional Order Block zone (current timeframe OR higher timeframe)
A Wyckoff pattern occurs (Spring, SOS, Upthrust, or SOW)
This dual-confirmation approach ensures you're trading with institutional flow at optimal entry points.
📊 Key Features:
✅ Order Block Detection
Automatically identifies institutional buying/selling zones
Current timeframe order blocks (solid lines)
Higher timeframe order blocks (dashed lines) for stronger zones
Customizable strength and extension settings
✅ 4 Wyckoff Entry Patterns
SPRING (Bullish Reversal): Fake breakdown below support → Quick recovery
SOS (Sign of Strength): Strong bullish candle after accumulation
UPTHRUST (Bearish Reversal): Fake breakout above resistance → Quick rejection
SOW (Sign of Weakness): Strong bearish candle after distribution
✅ Clean Visual Design
Minimalist approach - only essential information
Color-coded zones (Green = Bullish, Red = Bearish, Cyan/Magenta = HTF)
Clear entry signals with pattern type labels
No chart clutter - focus on what matters
✅ Multi-Timeframe Analysis
Integrates higher timeframe order blocks
HTF signals marked with "+HTF" tag for extra confidence
Fully customizable HTF selection (H1, H4, Daily, etc.)
✅ Smart Alerts
Entry signal alerts (Long/Short)
Order block formation alerts
HTF order block alerts
Customizable alert messages
💡 How To Use:
Setup: Add indicator to your chart, configure HTF timeframe (default H1)
Wait: Let order blocks form (green/red boxes appear)
Watch: Price returns to order block zone
Entry: Signal appears when Wyckoff pattern confirms
Trade: Enter with the signal, stop below/above order block
📈 Best For:
Forex pairs (all majors and crosses)
Gold (XAUUSD)
Crypto (BTC, ETH, etc.)
Indices (SPX, NAS100, etc.)
Stocks
Commodities
⏱️ Recommended Timeframes:
M15 for scalping
M30 for day trading
H1 for swing trading
H4 for position trading
🎯 Win Rate Expectations:
Current TF signals: 60-70%
HTF signals (+HTF tag): 70-80%
Spring/Upthrust patterns: Highest probability
Works on ALL liquid markets
⚙️ Customizable Settings:
Order block detection parameters
HTF timeframe selection
Wyckoff sensitivity (swing length, volume threshold)
Zone extension duration
Color schemes
📚 Trading Strategy:
This indicator works best when:
Trading in the direction of higher timeframe trend
Using proper risk management (1-2% per trade)
Placing stops just outside order block zones
Taking profits at opposite order blocks
Focusing on HTF signals for higher quality
🔒 Risk Management:
Always use stop losses! Recommended placement:
LONG: 10-20 pips below order block
SHORT: 10-20 pips above order block
Target: Minimum 1:2 risk/reward ratio
💎 Why Traders Love This System:
"Finally, an indicator that doesn't spam my chart with useless signals!" - The quality-over-quantity approach means you only get high-probability setups.
"The HTF order blocks changed my trading!" - Multi-timeframe analysis built-in removes the need for manual higher timeframe checks.
"Wyckoff + Order Blocks = Perfect combination!" - Two proven concepts working together create powerful confluence.
📊 Universal Application:
This system works on ANY liquid market with sufficient volume:
✅ Forex (EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY, etc.)
✅ Commodities (Gold, Silver, Oil, etc.)
✅ Indices (S&P 500, NASDAQ, DAX, etc.)
✅ Cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc.)
✅ Stocks (Large cap with good liquidity)

Fractional Candlestick Long Only Experimental V10Fractional Candlestick Long-Only Strategy – Technical Description
This document provides a professional English description of the "Fractional Candlestick Long Only Experimental V6" strategy using pure CF/AB fractional kernels and wavelet-based filtering.
1. Fractional Candlesticks (CF / AB)
The strategy computes two fractional representations of price using Caputo–Fabrizio (CF) and Atangana–Baleanu (AB) kernels. These provide long-memory filtering without EMA approximations. Both CF and AB versions are applied to O/H/L/C, producing fractional candlesticks and fractional Heikin-Ashi variants.
2. Trend Stack Logic
Trend confirmation is based on a 4-component stack:
- CF close > AB close
- HA_CF close > HA_AB close
- HA_CF bullish
- HA_AB bullish
The user selects how many components must align (4, 3, or any 2).
3. Wavelet Filtering
A wavelet transform (Haar, Daubechies-4, Mexican Hat) is applied to a chosen source (e.g., HA_CF close). The wavelet response is used as:
- entry filter (4 modes)
- exit filter (4 modes)
Wavelet modes: off, confirm, wavelet-only, block adverse signals.
4. Trailing System
Trailing stop uses fractional AB low × buffer, providing long-memory dynamic trailing behavior. A fractional trend channel (CF/AB lows vs HA highs) is also plotted.
5. Exit Framework
Exit options include: stack flip, CF

O'Neil Market TimingBill O'Neil Market Timing Indicator - User Guide
Overview
This Pine Script indicator implements William O'Neil's market timing methodology, which assigns one of four distinct states to a market index (such as SPY or QQQ) to help traders identify optimal market conditions for investing. The indicator is designed to work exclusively on Daily timeframe charts.
The Four Market States
The indicator tracks the market through four distinct states, with specific transition rules between them:
1. Confirmed Uptrend (Green)
- Meaning: The market is in a healthy uptrend with institutional support
- Action: Favorable conditions for building positions in leading stocks
- Can transition to: State 2 (Uptrend Under Pressure)
2. Uptrend Under Pressure (Yellow)
- Meaning: The uptrend is showing signs of weakness with increasing distribution
- Action: Be cautious, tighten stops, reduce position sizes
- Can transition to: State 1 (Confirmed Uptrend) or State 3 (Downtrend)
3. Downtrend (Red)
- Meaning: The market is in a confirmed downtrend
- Action: Stay mostly in cash, avoid new purchases
- Can transition to: State 4 (Rally Attempt)
4. Rally Attempt (Pink/Fuchsia)
- Meaning: The market is attempting to bottom and reverse
- Action: Watch for Follow-Through Day to confirm new uptrend
- Can transition to: State 1 (Confirmed Uptrend) or State 3 (Downtrend)
Key Concepts
Distribution Day
A distribution day occurs when:
1. The index closes down by more than the critical percentage (default 0.2%)
2. Volume is higher than the previous day's volume
Distribution days indicate institutional selling and are marked with red triangles on the indicator.
Follow-Through Day
A follow-through day occurs during a Rally Attempt when:
1. The index closes up by more than the critical percentage (default 1.6%)
2. Volume is higher than the previous day's volume
A Follow-Through Day confirms a new uptrend and triggers the transition from Rally Attempt to Confirmed Uptrend.
State Transition Logic
Valid Transitions
The system only allows specific transitions:
- 1 → 2: When distribution days reach the "pressure number" (default 5) within the lookback period (default 25 bars)
- 2 → 1: When distribution days drop below the pressure number
- 2 → 3: When distribution days reach "downtrend number" (default 7) AND price drops by "downtrend criterion" (default 6%) from the lookback high
- 3 → 4: When the market doesn't make a new low for 3 consecutive days
- 4 → 3: When a new low is made, undercutting the downtrend low
- 4 → 1: When a Follow-Through Day occurs during the Rally Attempt
Input Parameters
Distribution Day Parameters
- Distribution Day % Threshold (default 0.2%, range 0.1-2.0%)
- Minimum percentage decline required to qualify as a distribution day. While 0.2% seems to be the canonical number I see in literature about this, I use a much higher threshold (at least 0.5%)
Follow-Through Day Parameters
- Follow-Through Day % Threshold (default 1.6%, range 1.0-2.0%)
- Minimum percentage gain required to qualify as a follow-through day
### State Transition Parameters
- Pressure Number (default 5, range 3-6)
- Number of distribution days needed to transition from Confirmed Uptrend to Uptrend Under Pressure
- Lookback Period (default 25 bars, range 20-30)
- Number of days to count distribution days
- Downtrend Number (default 7, range 4-10)
- Number of distribution days needed (with price drop) to transition to Downtrend
- Downtrend % Drop from High (default 6%, range 5-10%)
- Percentage drop from lookback high required for downtrend confirmation
Visual Settings
- Color customization for each state
- Table position selection (Top Left, Top Right, Bottom Left, Bottom Right)
## How to Use This Indicator
### Installation
1. Open TradingView and navigate to SPY or QQQ (or another major index)
2. **Important**: Switch to the Daily (1D) timeframe
3. Click on "Indicators" at the top of the chart
4. Click "Pine Editor" at the bottom of the screen
5. Copy and paste the Pine Script code
6. Click "Add to Chart"
### Interpretation
**When the indicator shows:**
- **Green (State 1)**: Market is healthy - consider adding quality positions
- **Yellow (State 2)**: Exercise caution - tighten stops, be selective
- **Red (State 3)**: Defensive mode - preserve capital, avoid new buys
- **Pink (State 4)**: Watch closely - prepare for potential Follow-Through Day
### The Information Table
The table displays:
- **Current State**: The current market condition
- **Distribution Days**: Number of distribution days in the lookback period
- **Lookback Period**: Number of bars being analyzed
- **Rally Attempt Day**: (Only in State 4) Days into the current rally attempt
### Visual Elements
1. **State Line**: A stepped line showing the current state (1-4)
2. **Red Triangles**: Mark each distribution day
3. **Horizontal Reference Lines**: Dotted lines marking each state level
4. **Color-Coded Display**: The state line changes color based on the current market condition
## Trading Strategy Guidelines
### In Confirmed Uptrend (State 1)
- Build positions in stocks breaking out of proper bases
- Use normal position sizing
- Focus on stocks showing institutional accumulation
- Hold winners as long as they act properly
### In Uptrend Under Pressure (State 2)
- Take partial profits in extended positions
- Tighten stop losses
- Be more selective with new entries
- Reduce overall exposure
### In Downtrend (State 3)
- Move to cash or maintain very light exposure
- Avoid new purchases
- Focus on preservation of capital
- Use the time for research and watchlist building
### In Rally Attempt (State 4)
- Stay mostly in cash but prepare
- Build a watchlist of strong stocks
- On Day 4+ of the rally attempt, watch for Follow-Through Day
- If FTD occurs, begin cautiously adding positions
## Best Practices
1. **Use with Major Indices**: This indicator works best with SPY, QQQ, or other broad market indices
2. **Daily Timeframe Only**: The indicator is designed for daily bars - do not use on intraday timeframes
3. **Combine with Stock Analysis**: Use the market state as a filter for individual stock decisions
4. **Respect the Signals**: When the market enters Downtrend, reduce exposure regardless of individual stock setups
5. **Monitor Distribution Days**: Pay attention when distribution days accumulate - it's a warning sign
6. **Wait for Follow-Through**: Don't jump back in too early during Rally Attempt - wait for confirmation
## Alert Conditions
The indicator includes built-in alert conditions for:
- State changes (entering any of the four states)
- Distribution Day detection
- Follow-Through Day detection during Rally Attempt
To set up alerts:
1. Click the "Alert" button while the indicator is on your chart
2. Select "O'Neil Market Timing"
3. Choose your desired alert condition
4. Configure notification preferences
## Customization Tips
### For More Sensitive Detection
- Lower the "Pressure Number" to 3-4
- Lower the "Distribution Day % Threshold" to 0.15%
- Reduce the "Downtrend Number" to 5-6
### For More Conservative Detection
- Raise the "Pressure Number" to 6
- Raise the "Distribution Day % Threshold" to 0.3-0.5%
- Increase the "Downtrend Number" to 8-9
### For Different Market Conditions
- **Bull Market**: Consider slightly higher thresholds
- **Bear Market**: Consider slightly lower thresholds
- **Volatile Market**: May need to increase percentage thresholds
## Limitations and Considerations
1. **Not a Crystal Ball**: The indicator identifies conditions but doesn't predict the future
2. **False Signals**: Follow-Through Days can fail - use proper risk management
3. **Whipsaws Possible**: In choppy markets, the indicator may switch states frequently
4. **Confirmation Lag**: By design, there's a lag as the system waits for confirmation
5. **Works Best with Price Action**: Combine with your analysis of individual stocks
## Historical Context
This methodology is based on William J. O'Neil's decades of market research, documented in books like "How to Make Money in Stocks" and through Investor's Business Daily. O'Neil's research showed that:
- Most major market tops are preceded by accumulation of distribution days
- Most successful rallies begin with a Follow-Through Day on Day 4-7 of a rally attempt
- Identifying market state helps prevent buying during unfavorable conditions
## Troubleshooting
**Problem**: Indicator shows "Initializing"
- **Solution**: Let the chart load at least 5 bars to establish the initial state
**Problem**: No distribution day markers appear
- **Solution**: Verify you're on daily timeframe and check if volume data is available
**Problem**: Table not visible
- **Solution**: Check the table position setting and ensure it's not off-screen
**Problem**: State seems to change too frequently
- **Solution**: Increase the lookback period or adjust threshold parameters

Trend Following Volatility TrailThe Trend Following Volatility Trail is a dynamic trend-following tool that adapts its stop, bias, and zones to real-time volatility and trend strength. Instead of using static ATR multiples like a normal Supertrend or Chandelier Stop, it continuously adjusts itself based on how stretched the market is and how persistent the trend has been.
This makes the system far more reactive during momentum phases and more conservative during consolidation, helping avoid fake flips and late entries.
How It Works
The indicator builds an adaptive trail around a smoothed price basis:
It starts with a short EMA as the “core trend line.”
It measures volatility expansion versus normal volatility.
It measures trend persistence by reading whether price has been rising or falling consistently.
These two components combine to adjust the ATR multiplier dynamically.
As volatility expands or the trend becomes more persistent, the bands widen. When volatility compresses or the trend weakens, the bands tighten.
These adaptive bands form the foundation of the trailing system.
Bull & Bear State Logic
The tool constantly tracks whether price is above or below the adaptive trail:
Price above the upper trail → Bullish regime
Price below the lower trail → Bearish regime
But instead of flipping immediately, it waits for confirmation bars to avoid noise. This greatly reduces whipsaws and keeps the focus on sustained moves.
Once a new regime is confirmed:
A coloured cloud appears (bull or bear)
A label marks the flip point
Alerts can be triggered automatically
Best Uses
Identifying regime shifts early
Riding sustained trends with confidence
Avoiding choppy markets by requiring confirmation
Using the adaptive cloud as a directional bias layer

Slope Rank ReversalThis tool is designed to solve the fundamental problem of "buying low and selling high" by providing objective entry/exit signals based on momentum extremes and inflection points.
The System employs three core components:
Trend Detection (PSAR): The Parabolic SAR is used as a filter to confirm that a trend reversal or transition is currently underway, isolating actionable trade setups.
Dynamic Momentum Ranking: The indicator continuously measures the slope of the price action. This slope is then ranked against historical data to objectively identify when an asset is in an extreme state (overbought or oversold).
Signal Generation (Inflection Points):
Oversold/Buy: A 🟢 Green X is generated only when the slope ranking indicates the market is steeply negative (oversold), and the slope value begins to tick upwards (the inflection point), signaling potential mean reversion.
Overbought/Sell: A 🔴 Red X is generated only when the slope ranking indicates the market is steeply positive (overbought), and the slope value begins to tick downwards, signaling momentum exhaustion.
The core philosophy is simple: Enter only when the market is exhausted and has started to turn.

Consolidation Tracker🧭 Consolidation Tracker — Visualize Market Reversals in Real Time
The Consolidation Tracker is a minimalist yet powerful tool designed to map the anatomy of market reversals and trend transitions. It highlights the structural evolution of price through four key phases, helping traders anticipate shifts with clarity and confidence.
🔄 The Four Stages of a Market Reversal:
Failure to Displace — Price fails to break beyond recent highs or lows, signaling potential exhaustion of the current trend.
Consolidation (CAMP) — A range-bound phase where price compresses between a dynamic high and low. These zones are shaded gray, representing indecision and balance.
Engulfing (ENGULF) — A decisive candle closes beyond the CAMP high or low, suggesting a directional shift. These are highlighted in orange.
Fair Value Gap (FVG) — A three-candle pattern forms a price imbalance. If this FVG also engulfs the CAMP range, it confirms the reversal and resets the CAMP. Bullish FVGs are shaded green, bearish FVGs in red.
🔁 From Reversal to Trend:
Once a reversal is confirmed via an FVG, the market often transitions into a trend cycle characterized by:
Displacement — Strong directional movement away from the prior range.
Fair Value Gaps — Continuation imbalances that offer high-probability entries on retracements.
🧠 How It Works:
The indicator dynamically tracks CAMP highs and lows, updating only when a candle engulfs the range or a valid FVG forms.
FVGs are detected when a three-candle sequence creates a gap between candle 2 and 0, and the middle candle (candle 1) breaks the CAMP boundary.
CAMP levels are plotted as horizontal lines, while background colors narrate the evolving structure in real time.
This tool is ideal for traders who value market structure, price efficiency, and narrative clarity. Whether you're anticipating reversals or riding trends, the Consolidation Tracker offers a clean, actionable lens into price behavior.

Absorption DetectorAbsorption Detector is a clean and effective tool designed to identify institutional absorption at key turning points of the market.
It highlights candles where volume surges but the real body remains small, indicating potential absorption of liquidity before a reversal move.
Key Features
Volume Spike Detection – identifies abnormal increases in traded volume
Small Body Recognition – pinpoints candles with low real-body percentage
Delta Simulation (Fake Delta) – uses close–open behavior to approximate bullish/bearish delta
Bullish Absorption – highlights potential low-side absorption (green dots + green candles)
Bearish Absorption – highlights potential high-side absorption (red dots + red candles)
Background Highlighting – visual emphasis on absorption zones
Clean, lightweight and non-repainter
How It Helps
Absorption often occurs before strong moves:
Large players fill opposite orders
Stops are triggered and absorbed
Liquidity on one side dries up
Reversal or continuation moves follow
This indicator makes it easy to spot these moments in real time.
