Floor Trader PivotsGenerated by: Claude Sonnet 4.5
Pine Script that draws Floor Trader Pivots using 'daily' price levels with configurable options.
Key Features:
Pivot Calculation: Uses the classic formula: Pivot = (High + Low + Close) / 3
Resistance levels: R1, R2, R3
Support levels: S1, S2, S3
Optional mid-pivots between main levels
Configurable Settings:
Timeframe: Choose Daily, Weekly, or Monthly pivots
Display toggles: Show/hide individual levels
Colors: Customize each level's color
Line style: Solid, dashed, or dotted
Line width: 1-5 pixels
Extension: None, right, or both directions
Labels: Show/hide with left or right positioning
Calculations:
R1 = 2×Pivot - Low
R2 = Pivot + (High - Low)
R3 = R1 + (High - Low)
S1 = 2×Pivot - High
S2 = Pivot - (High - Low)
S3 = S1 - (High - Low)
Uses daily price levels specifically.
Added daily-specific data fetching: The script now explicitly fetches both current day and previous day's high, low, and close prices
Calculations use daily data: All pivot calculations now use prevDailyH, prevDailyL, and prevDailyC (previous day's high, low, close)
Kept the timeframe input: You can still change it if you want weekly or monthly pivots, but it now defaults to and emphasizes daily calculations
The Floor Trader Pivots will now always be based on the previous day's price action, which is the traditional method floor traders use. This is particularly useful for intraday trading as these levels update daily and provide key support/resistance zones.
RSI HTF Hardcoded (A/B Presets) + Regimes [CHE]RSI HTF Hardcoded (A/B Presets) + Regimes — Higher-timeframe RSI emulation with acceptance-based regime filter and on-chart diagnostics
Summary
This indicator emulates a higher-timeframe RSI on the current chart by resolving hardcoded “HTF-like” lengths from a time-bucket mapping, avoiding cross-timeframe requests. It computes RSI on a resolved length, smooths it with a resolved moving average, and derives a histogram-style difference (RSI minus its smoother). A four-state regime classifier is gated by a dead-band and an acceptance filter requiring consecutive bars before a regime is considered valid. An on-chart table reports the active preset, resolved mapping tag, resolved lengths, and the current filtered regime.
Pine version: v6
Overlay: false
Primary outputs: RSI line, SMA(RSI) line, RSI–SMA histogram columns, reference levels (30/50/70), regime-change alert, info table
Motivation
Cross-timeframe RSI implementations often rely on `request.security`, which can introduce repaint pathways and additional update latency. This design uses deterministic, on-series computation: it infers a coarse target bucket (or uses a forced bucket) and resolves lengths accordingly. The dead-band reduces noise at the decision boundaries (around RSI 50 and around the RSI–SMA difference), while the acceptance filter suppresses rapid flip-flops by requiring sustained agreement across bars.
Differences
Baseline: Standard RSI with a user-selected length on the same timeframe, or HTF RSI via cross-timeframe requests.
Key differences:
Hardcoded preset families and a bucket-based mapping to resolve “HTF-like” lengths on the current chart.
No `request.security`; all calculations run on the chart’s own series.
Regime classification uses two independent signals (RSI relative to 50 and RSI–SMA difference), gated by a configurable dead-band and an acceptance counter.
Always-on diagnostics via a persistent table (optional), showing preset, mapping tag, resolved lengths, and filtered regime.
Practical effect: The oscillator behaves like a slower, higher-timeframe variant with more stable regime transitions, at the cost of delayed recognition around sharp turns (by design).
How it works
1. Bucket selection: The script derives a coarse “target bucket” from the chart timeframe (Auto) or uses a user-forced bucket.
2. Length resolution: A chosen preset defines base lengths (RSI length and smoothing length). A bucket/timeframe mapping resolves a multiplier, producing final lengths used for RSI and smoothing.
3. Oscillator construction: RSI is computed on the resolved RSI length. A moving average of RSI is computed on the resolved smoothing length. The difference (RSI minus its smoother) is used as the histogram series.
4. Regime classification: Four regimes are defined from:
RSI relative to 50 (bullish above, bearish below), with a dead-band around 50
Difference relative to 0 (positive/negative), with a dead-band around 0
These two axes produce strong/weak bull and bear states, plus a neutral state when inside the dead-band(s).
5. Acceptance filter: The raw regime must persist for `n` consecutive bars before it becomes the filtered regime. The alert triggers when the filtered regime changes.
6. Diagnostics and visualization: Histogram columns change shade based on sign and whether the difference is rising/falling. The table displays preset, mapping tag, resolved lengths, and the filtered regime description.
Parameter Guide
Source — Input series for RSI — Default: Close — Smoother sources reduce noise but add lag.
Preset — Base lengths family — Default: A(14/14) — Switch presets to change RSI and smoothing responsiveness.
Target Bucket — Auto or forced bucket — Default: Auto — Force a bucket to lock behavior across chart timeframe changes.
Table X / Table Y — Table anchor — Default: right / top — Move to avoid covering content.
Table Size — Table text size — Default: normal — Increase for presentations, decrease for dense layouts.
Dark Mode — Table theme — Default: enabled — Match chart background for readability.
Show Table — Toggle diagnostics table — Default: enabled — Disable for a cleaner pane.
Epsilon (dead-band) — Noise gate for decisions — Default: 1.0 — Raise to reduce flips near boundaries; lower to react faster.
Acceptance bars (n) — Bars required to confirm a regime — Default: 3 — Higher reduces whipsaw; lower increases reactivity.
Reading
Histogram (RSI–SMA):
Above zero indicates RSI is above its smoother (positive momentum bias).
Below zero indicates RSI is below its smoother (negative momentum bias).
Darker/lighter shading indicates whether the difference is increasing or decreasing versus the previous bar.
RSI vs SMA(RSI):
RSI’s position relative to 50 provides broad directional bias.
RSI’s position relative to its smoother provides momentum confirmation/contra-signal.
Regimes:
Strong bull: RSI meaningfully above 50 and difference meaningfully above 0.
Weak bull: RSI above 50 but difference below 0 (pullback/transition).
Strong bear: RSI meaningfully below 50 and difference meaningfully below 0.
Weak bear: RSI below 50 but difference above 0 (pullback/transition).
Neutral: inside the dead-band(s).
Table:
Use it to validate the active preset, the mapping tag, the resolved lengths, and the filtered regime output.
Workflows
Trend confirmation:
Favor long bias when strong bull is active; favor short bias when strong bear is active.
Treat weak regimes as pullback/transition context rather than immediate reversals, especially with higher acceptance.
Structure + oscillator:
Combine regimes with swing structure, breakouts, or a baseline trend filter to avoid trading against dominant structure.
Use regime change alerts as a “state change” notification, not as a standalone entry.
Multi-asset consistency:
The bucket mapping helps keep a consistent “feel” across different chart timeframes without relying on external timeframe series.
Behavior/Constraints
Intrabar behavior:
No cross-timeframe requests are used; values can still evolve on the live bar and settle at close depending on your chart/update timing.
Warm-up requirements:
Large resolved lengths require sufficient history to seed RSI and smoothing. Expect a warm-up period after loading or switching symbols/timeframes.
Latency by design:
Dead-band and acceptance filtering reduce noise but can delay regime changes during sharp reversals.
Chart types:
Intended for standard time-based charts. Non-time-based or synthetic chart types (e.g., Heikin-Ashi, Renko, Kagi, Point-and-Figure, Range) can distort oscillator behavior and regime stability.
Tuning
Too many flips near decision boundaries:
Increase Epsilon and/or increase Acceptance bars.
Too sluggish in clean trends:
Reduce Acceptance bars by one, or choose a faster preset (shorter base lengths).
Too sensitive on lower timeframes:
Choose a slower preset (longer base lengths) or force a higher Target Bucket.
Want less clutter:
Disable the table and keep only the alert + plots you need.

ATR Trailing Stop (Long or Short Selectable)The ATR Trailing Stop (Long or Short Selectable) will start calculating on a set date that you specify. This is great because you want to trail the price from the breakout day or even after exceeding specific price level (can be your breakeven level or even to capture more of the upside after the price target is met).
Entry price: If you act at the close of the day, you can leave this value as 0 and it will take the close of the day for the initial protective stop-loss calculation. You can choose to add a value such as the pattern boundary and in that case it will subtract the initial protective stop-loss from the pattern boundary and not the close of the day. If you use a scaling in tactic during the day (buying in tranches intraday as the breakout takes place) and your average purchase price is different than the close of the day, you can also plug that number in to calculate the initial protective stop-loss.
This is a modified version as many followers asked for ATR trailing for short setups. Now you can select the Long/Short trade setup from the drop down menu.
ATR period: You can select the ATR period. It can be 10 day, 14 day or 30 day or any ATR period of your choice.
ATR Multiplier for Stop-loss: This is the multiplier that you want to trail the price with. From the highest level price reached it will trail the price with a 3 x ATR () distance. The higher the number, the wider the trailing stop-loss. A multiplier of 1 will trail the price so close that and adverse movement can result in triggering the stop-loss.
Custom Value for First day Trailing Stop: This is my favorite part. For aggressive risk management, your initial protective stop can be smaller than what the ATR Trailing Stop will use in its calculation after entry day. In this case you can take 1xATR () or even with FX and Futures you can apply 0.5xATR() as the first day to calculate initial protective stop. The protective stop turns into a trailing stop after the first day.

Advanced FVG Detector Pro📊 Advanced FVG Detector Pro - Smart Money Analysis Tool
Overview
The Advanced FVG Detector Pro is a sophisticated Pine Script v6 indicator designed to identify and track Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) with institutional-grade precision. This tool goes beyond basic gap detection by incorporating volume analysis, smart money scoring, and adaptive filtering to help traders identify high-probability trading opportunities.
What are Fair Value Gaps?
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) are price inefficiencies that occur when the market moves so quickly that it leaves behind an imbalance or "gap" in price action. These gaps often act as magnets for future price movement as the market seeks to fill these inefficiencies. Professional traders and institutions closely monitor FVGs as they represent areas of potential support, resistance, and high-probability trade setups.
🎯 Key Features
1. Smart Money Scoring System
Proprietary algorithm that rates each FVG on a 0-100 scale Combines gap size, volume strength, price location, and trend alignment Filter out low-quality setups by setting minimum score thresholdsFocus on institutional-grade opportunities with scores above 70
2. Advanced Volume Validation
Validates FVGs with volume analysis to reduce false signals Only displays gaps formed during significant volume periods Customizable volume multiplier for different market conditions
Visual volume strength indicators on chart
3. Flexible Mitigation Options
Full Fill: Traditional complete gap closure Midpoint Touch: More aggressive entry strategy
Partial Fill: Customizable percentage-based mitigation (10-90%) Choose the strategy that matches your trading style

Wait for price to create a high-score FVG (70+)
Enter on the first retest of the gap
Place stop loss beyond the gap
Target the opposite side of the gap or next FVG
2. Confluence Trading
Combine FVGs with support/resistance levels
Look for FVGs near key moving averages (20/50 EMA)
Higher probability when FVG aligns with trendlines
Use multiple timeframe analysis
3. Breakout Confirmation
FVGs often form during strong breakouts
High-volume FVGs confirm breakout strength
Enter on mitigation of breakout FVG
Trail stops as new FVGs form in trend direction
⚡ Performance Optimizations
Efficient memory management for smooth chart performance
Optimized calculations run only once per bar

Works smoothly even with 100+ active FVGs
🔔 Alert System
Customizable alerts for new bullish FVGs
Customizable alerts for new bearish FVGs
Mitigation alerts for active gaps
Frequency control to avoid alert spam
💡 Pro Tips
Multi-Timeframe Approach: Identify major FVGs on higher timeframes (Daily/4H) and use lower timeframes (15M/5M) for precise entries
Volume Confirmation: The highest probability setups occur when FVGs form with 2x+ average volume
Trend Alignment: Trade FVGs in the direction of the major trend for best results
Patience Pays: Wait for price to return to the FVG rather than chasing breakouts
Risk Management: Always use stop losses beyond the FVG boundaries

Fibonacci Degree System This Pine Script creates a sophisticated technical analysis tool that combines Fibonacci retracements with a degree-based cycle system. Here's a comprehensive breakdown:
Core Concept
The indicator maps price movements onto a 360-degree circular framework, treating market cycles like geometric angles. It creates a visual "mesh" where Fibonacci ratios intersect in both price (horizontal) and time (vertical) dimensions.
How It Works
1. Finding Reference Points
The script looks back over a specified period (default 100 bars) to identify:
Highest High: The peak price point
Lowest Low: The trough price point
Time Locations: Exactly which bars these extremes occurred on
These two points form the boundaries of your analysis window.
2. Creating the Fibonacci Grid
Horizontal Lines (Price Levels):
The script divides the price range between high and low into seven key Fibonacci ratios:
0% (Low) - Bottom boundary in red
23.6% - Minor retracement in orange
38.2% - Shallow retracement in yellow
50% - Midpoint in lime green
61.8% - Golden ratio in aqua (most significant)
78.6% - Deep retracement in blue
100% (High) - Top boundary in purple
Each line represents a potential support/resistance level where price might react.
Vertical Lines (Time Cycles):
The same Fibonacci ratios are applied to the time dimension between the high and low bars. If your high and low are 50 bars apart, vertical lines appear at:
Bar 0 (0%)
Bar 12 (23.6%)
Bar 19 (38.2%)
Bar 25 (50%)
Bar 31 (61.8%)
Bar 39 (78.6%)
Bar 50 (100%)
These suggest when price might make significant moves.
3. The Degree Mapping System
The innovative feature maps the time progression to degrees:
0° = Start point (0% time)
85° = 23.6% through the cycle
138° = 38.2% through the cycle
180° = Midpoint (50%)
222° = 61.8% through the cycle (golden angle)
283° = 78.6% through the cycle
360° = Complete cycle (100%)
This treats market movements as circular patterns, similar to how planets orbit or pendulums swing.
Visual Output
When you apply this indicator, you'll see:
A rectangular mesh extending beyond your high-low range (by 150% default)
Color-coded horizontal lines showing price Fibonacci levels
Matching vertical lines showing time Fibonacci intervals
Price labels on the right showing percentage levels
Degree labels at the bottom showing the angular position in the cycle
Intersection points creating a grid of potentially significant price-time coordinates
Trading Application
Traders use this to identify:
Support/Resistance Zones: Where horizontal and vertical lines intersect
Time Targets: When price might reverse (at vertical Fibonacci times)
Cycle Completion: When approaching 360°, a new cycle may begin
Harmonic Patterns: Geometric relationships between price and time
Customization Features
The script offers extensive control:
Lookback period: Adjust cycle length (10-500 bars)
Mesh extension: How far to project the grid forward
Visual toggles: Show/hide horizontal lines, vertical lines, labels
Styling: Line thickness, style (solid/dashed/dotted), colors
Label positioning: Fine-tune text placement for readability
The intersection at 61.8% time and 61.8% price at 222° becomes a key target zone.
This tool essentially converts the abstract concept of market cycles into a concrete, visual geometric framework that traders can analyze and act upon.

[ICT] Advance Orderblocks, FVG and Liquidity levels [TDT]🚀 Overview
The Advance Orderblocks, FVG and Liquidity levels Suite is a precision-focused toolkit designed for Smart Money Concepts (SMC) and ICT traders. Unlike standard Order Block indicators that spam the chart with weak pivots, this script employs a strict validation algorithm to identify high-probability institutional reference points.
It combines Market Structure, Displacement (FVG), and Liquidity Sweeps into a single, clean overlay, allowing you to focus on execution rather than analysis.
🧠 The Logic: Quality Over Quantity
This indicator does not simply mark every 3-candle fractal. It filters for Displacement.
Fractal Identification: The script first identifies a valid 3-bar Swing High or Swing Low.
Displacement Validation: An Order Block is ONLY painted if it is immediately followed by a Fair Value Gap (FVG).
No FVG? No Order Block.
This ensures momentum and institutional intent are present in the move.
Strict Marking: The script marks the exact Fractal Candle (the pivot) as the Order Block, providing precise entry zones.
✨ Key Features
High-Probability Order Blocks (OB)
Validation: Requires an immediate FVG to form after the pivot to confirm the zone.
Mitigation Tracking: Zones change style (dashed/dotted) when touched to indicate they are being tested.
Auto-Cleanup: OBs disappear automatically after they are fully mitigated or "killed" based on your settings.
Strong OBs: Zones turn darker and solid if they lead to a Break of Structure (BOS).
Displacement Gaps (FVG)
Visualizes the Imbalance: Automatically draws the FVG that validated the Order Block.
Consequent Encroachment (CE): Optionally plots the 50% equilibrium level of the FVG.
Smart Limits: The FVG count is strictly tied to your "Max OB" setting to prevent chart clutter.
Liquidity Levels (BSL / SSL)
Fractal-Based: Identifies Buy-Side (BSL) and Sell-Side (SSL) liquidity pools based on swing points.
Sweep Detection: Detects when price runs (sweeps) a level. The line turns dashed to indicate the liquidity has been taken.
Smart Clean-up: Lines remain visible for a set number of bars after a sweep, then delete automatically to keep the chart fresh.
⚙️ Settings Guide
🧱 Order Blocks: Detection
Max OBs (Per Side): Controls the buffer size. If set to 5, only the 5 most recent valid Bullish and Bearish OBs (and their corresponding FVGs) are shown.
Overlap Cleanup: If enabled, the script deletes older OBs if a new, fresher OB forms overlapping the old one.
♻️ Order Blocks: Mitigation
Mitigation Rule: Define when an OB is considered "Dead."
Entered: Any touch invalidates it.
Reached 50%: Price hits the Mean Threshold (CE).
Full Crossing: Price closes or wicks fully beyond the OB.
Delete Delay: How many bars to keep the "ghost" OB on the chart after it is mitigated (useful for spotting Breakers).
🌊 FVG Settings (Displacement)
Show FVG: Toggle the Fair Value Gap boxes on/off.
Show CE: Toggle the 50% line inside the FVG.
Colors/Style: Fully customizable colors for Unmitigated vs. Mitigated FVGs.
💧 Liquidity (BSL / SSL)
Fractal Length: Sensitivity. Higher numbers = Major external liquidity. Lower numbers = Internal structure.
Count: Maximum number of liquidity lines to display.

Dimensional Resonance ProtocolDimensional Resonance Protocol
🌀 CORE INNOVATION: PHASE SPACE RECONSTRUCTION & EMERGENCE DETECTION
The Dimensional Resonance Protocol represents a paradigm shift from traditional technical analysis to complexity science. Rather than measuring price levels or indicator crossovers, DRP reconstructs the hidden attractor governing market dynamics using Takens' embedding theorem, then detects emergence —the rare moments when multiple dimensions of market behavior spontaneously synchronize into coherent, predictable states.
The Complexity Hypothesis:
Markets are not simple oscillators or random walks—they are complex adaptive systems existing in high-dimensional phase space. Traditional indicators see only shadows (one-dimensional projections) of this higher-dimensional reality. DRP reconstructs the full phase space using time-delay embedding, revealing the true structure of market dynamics.
Takens' Embedding Theorem (1981):
A profound mathematical result from dynamical systems theory: Given a time series from a complex system, we can reconstruct its full phase space by creating delayed copies of the observation.
Mathematical Foundation:
From single observable x(t), create embedding vectors:
X(t) =
Where:
• d = Embedding dimension (default 5)
• τ = Time delay (default 3 bars)
• x(t) = Price or return at time t
Key Insight: If d ≥ 2D+1 (where D is the true attractor dimension), this embedding is topologically equivalent to the actual system dynamics. We've reconstructed the hidden attractor from a single price series.
Why This Matters:
Markets appear random in one dimension (price chart). But in reconstructed phase space, structure emerges—attractors, limit cycles, strange attractors. When we identify these structures, we can detect:
• Stable regions : Predictable behavior (trade opportunities)
• Chaotic regions : Unpredictable behavior (avoid trading)
• Critical transitions : Phase changes between regimes
Phase Space Magnitude Calculation:
phase_magnitude = sqrt(Σ ² for i = 0 to d-1)
This measures the "energy" or "momentum" of the market trajectory through phase space. High magnitude = strong directional move. Low magnitude = consolidation.
📊 RECURRENCE QUANTIFICATION ANALYSIS (RQA)
Once phase space is reconstructed, we analyze its recurrence structure —when does the system return near previous states?
Recurrence Plot Foundation:
A recurrence occurs when two phase space points are closer than threshold ε:
R(i,j) = 1 if ||X(i) - X(j)|| < ε, else 0
This creates a binary matrix showing when the system revisits similar states.
Key RQA Metrics:
1. Recurrence Rate (RR):
RR = (Number of recurrent points) / (Total possible pairs)
• RR near 0: System never repeats (highly stochastic)
• RR = 0.1-0.3: Moderate recurrence (tradeable patterns)
• RR > 0.5: System stuck in attractor (ranging market)
• RR near 1: System frozen (no dynamics)
Interpretation: Moderate recurrence is optimal —patterns exist but market isn't stuck.
2. Determinism (DET):
Measures what fraction of recurrences form diagonal structures in the recurrence plot. Diagonals indicate deterministic evolution (trajectory follows predictable paths).
DET = (Recurrence points on diagonals) / (Total recurrence points)
• DET < 0.3: Random dynamics
• DET = 0.3-0.7: Moderate determinism (patterns with noise)
• DET > 0.7: Strong determinism (technical patterns reliable)
Trading Implication: Signals are prioritized when DET > 0.3 (deterministic state) and RR is moderate (not stuck).
Threshold Selection (ε):
Default ε = 0.10 × std_dev means two states are "recurrent" if within 10% of a standard deviation. This is tight enough to require genuine similarity but loose enough to find patterns.
🔬 PERMUTATION ENTROPY: COMPLEXITY MEASUREMENT
Permutation entropy measures the complexity of a time series by analyzing the distribution of ordinal patterns.
Algorithm (Bandt & Pompe, 2002):
1. Take overlapping windows of length n (default n=4)
2. For each window, record the rank order pattern
Example: → pattern (ranks from lowest to highest)
3. Count frequency of each possible pattern
4. Calculate Shannon entropy of pattern distribution
Mathematical Formula:
H_perm = -Σ p(π) · ln(p(π))
Where π ranges over all n! possible permutations, p(π) is the probability of pattern π.
Normalized to :
H_norm = H_perm / ln(n!)
Interpretation:
• H < 0.3 : Very ordered, crystalline structure (strong trending)
• H = 0.3-0.5 : Ordered regime (tradeable with patterns)
• H = 0.5-0.7 : Moderate complexity (mixed conditions)
• H = 0.7-0.85 : Complex dynamics (challenging to trade)
• H > 0.85 : Maximum entropy (nearly random, avoid)
Entropy Regime Classification:
DRP classifies markets into five entropy regimes:
• CRYSTALLINE (H < 0.3): Maximum order, persistent trends
• ORDERED (H < 0.5): Clear patterns, momentum strategies work
• MODERATE (H < 0.7): Mixed dynamics, adaptive required
• COMPLEX (H < 0.85): High entropy, mean reversion better
• CHAOTIC (H ≥ 0.85): Near-random, minimize trading
Why Permutation Entropy?
Unlike traditional entropy methods requiring binning continuous data (losing information), permutation entropy:
• Works directly on time series
• Robust to monotonic transformations
• Computationally efficient
• Captures temporal structure, not just distribution
• Immune to outliers (uses ranks, not values)
⚡ LYAPUNOV EXPONENT: CHAOS vs STABILITY
The Lyapunov exponent λ measures sensitivity to initial conditions —the hallmark of chaos.
Physical Meaning:
Two trajectories starting infinitely close will diverge at exponential rate e^(λt):
Distance(t) ≈ Distance(0) × e^(λt)
Interpretation:
• λ > 0 : Positive Lyapunov exponent = CHAOS
- Small errors grow exponentially
- Long-term prediction impossible
- System is sensitive, unpredictable
- AVOID TRADING
• λ ≈ 0 : Near-zero = CRITICAL STATE
- Edge of chaos
- Transition zone between order and disorder
- Moderate predictability
- PROCEED WITH CAUTION
• λ < 0 : Negative Lyapunov exponent = STABLE
- Small errors decay
- Trajectories converge
- System is predictable
- OPTIMAL FOR TRADING
Estimation Method:
DRP estimates λ by tracking how quickly nearby states diverge over a rolling window (default 20 bars):
For each bar i in window:
δ₀ = |x - x | (initial separation)
δ₁ = |x - x | (previous separation)
if δ₁ > 0:
ratio = δ₀ / δ₁
log_ratios += ln(ratio)
λ ≈ average(log_ratios)
Stability Classification:
• STABLE : λ < 0 (negative growth rate)
• CRITICAL : |λ| < 0.1 (near neutral)
• CHAOTIC : λ > 0.2 (strong positive growth)
Signal Filtering:
By default, NEXUS requires λ < 0 (stable regime) for signal confirmation. This filters out trades during chaotic periods when technical patterns break down.
📐 HIGUCHI FRACTAL DIMENSION
Fractal dimension measures self-similarity and complexity of the price trajectory.
Theoretical Background:
A curve's fractal dimension D ranges from 1 (smooth line) to 2 (space-filling curve):
• D ≈ 1.0 : Smooth, persistent trending
• D ≈ 1.5 : Random walk (Brownian motion)
• D ≈ 2.0 : Highly irregular, space-filling
Higuchi Method (1988):
For a time series of length N, construct k different curves by taking every k-th point:
L(k) = (1/k) × Σ|x - x | × (N-1)/(⌊(N-m)/k⌋ × k)
For different values of k (1 to k_max), calculate L(k). The fractal dimension is the slope of log(L(k)) vs log(1/k):
D = slope of log(L) vs log(1/k)
Market Interpretation:
• D < 1.35 : Strong trending, persistent (Hurst > 0.5)
- TRENDING regime
- Momentum strategies favored
- Breakouts likely to continue
• D = 1.35-1.45 : Moderate persistence
- PERSISTENT regime
- Trend-following with caution
- Patterns have meaning
• D = 1.45-1.55 : Random walk territory
- RANDOM regime
- Efficiency hypothesis holds
- Technical analysis least reliable
• D = 1.55-1.65 : Anti-persistent (mean-reverting)
- ANTI-PERSISTENT regime
- Oscillator strategies work
- Overbought/oversold meaningful
• D > 1.65 : Highly complex, choppy
- COMPLEX regime
- Avoid directional bets
- Wait for regime change
Signal Filtering:
Resonance signals (secondary signal type) require D < 1.5, indicating trending or persistent dynamics where momentum has meaning.
🔗 TRANSFER ENTROPY: CAUSAL INFORMATION FLOW
Transfer entropy measures directed causal influence between time series—not just correlation, but actual information transfer.
Schreiber's Definition (2000):
Transfer entropy from X to Y measures how much knowing X's past reduces uncertainty about Y's future:
TE(X→Y) = H(Y_future | Y_past) - H(Y_future | Y_past, X_past)
Where H is Shannon entropy.
Key Properties:
1. Directional : TE(X→Y) ≠ TE(Y→X) in general
2. Non-linear : Detects complex causal relationships
3. Model-free : No assumptions about functional form
4. Lag-independent : Captures delayed causal effects
Three Causal Flows Measured:
1. Volume → Price (TE_V→P):
Measures how much volume patterns predict price changes.
• TE > 0 : Volume provides predictive information about price
- Institutional participation driving moves
- Volume confirms direction
- High reliability
• TE ≈ 0 : No causal flow (weak volume/price relationship)
- Volume uninformative
- Caution on signals
• TE < 0 (rare): Suggests price leading volume
- Potentially manipulated or thin market
2. Volatility → Momentum (TE_σ→M):
Does volatility expansion predict momentum changes?
• Positive TE : Volatility precedes momentum shifts
- Breakout dynamics
- Regime transitions
3. Structure → Price (TE_S→P):
Do support/resistance patterns causally influence price?
• Positive TE : Structural levels have causal impact
- Technical levels matter
- Market respects structure
Net Causal Flow:
Net_Flow = TE_V→P + 0.5·TE_σ→M + TE_S→P
• Net > +0.1 : Bullish causal structure
• Net < -0.1 : Bearish causal structure
• |Net| < 0.1 : Neutral/unclear causation
Causal Gate:
For signal confirmation, NEXUS requires:
• Buy signals : TE_V→P > 0 AND Net_Flow > 0.05
• Sell signals : TE_V→P > 0 AND Net_Flow < -0.05
This ensures volume is actually driving price (causal support exists), not just correlated noise.
Implementation Note:
Computing true transfer entropy requires discretizing continuous data into bins (default 6 bins) and estimating joint probability distributions. NEXUS uses a hybrid approach combining TE theory with autocorrelation structure and lagged cross-correlation to approximate information transfer in computationally efficient manner.
🌊 HILBERT PHASE COHERENCE
Phase coherence measures synchronization across market dimensions using Hilbert transform analysis.
Hilbert Transform Theory:
For a signal x(t), the Hilbert transform H (t) creates an analytic signal:
z(t) = x(t) + i·H (t) = A(t)·e^(iφ(t))
Where:
• A(t) = Instantaneous amplitude
• φ(t) = Instantaneous phase
Instantaneous Phase:
φ(t) = arctan(H (t) / x(t))
The phase represents where the signal is in its natural cycle—analogous to position on a unit circle.
Four Dimensions Analyzed:
1. Momentum Phase : Phase of price rate-of-change
2. Volume Phase : Phase of volume intensity
3. Volatility Phase : Phase of ATR cycles
4. Structure Phase : Phase of position within range
Phase Locking Value (PLV):
For two signals with phases φ₁(t) and φ₂(t), PLV measures phase synchronization:
PLV = |⟨e^(i(φ₁(t) - φ₂(t)))⟩|
Where ⟨·⟩ is time average over window.
Interpretation:
• PLV = 0 : Completely random phase relationship (no synchronization)
• PLV = 0.5 : Moderate phase locking
• PLV = 1 : Perfect synchronization (phases locked)
Pairwise PLV Calculations:
• PLV_momentum-volume : Are momentum and volume cycles synchronized?
• PLV_momentum-structure : Are momentum cycles aligned with structure?
• PLV_volume-structure : Are volume and structural patterns in phase?
Overall Phase Coherence:
Coherence = (PLV_mom-vol + PLV_mom-struct + PLV_vol-struct) / 3
Signal Confirmation:
Emergence signals require coherence ≥ threshold (default 0.70):
• Below 0.70: Dimensions not synchronized, no coherent market state
• Above 0.70: Dimensions in phase, coherent behavior emerging
Coherence Direction:
The summed phase angles indicate whether synchronized dimensions point bullish or bearish:
Direction = sin(φ_momentum) + 0.5·sin(φ_volume) + 0.5·sin(φ_structure)
• Direction > 0 : Phases pointing upward (bullish synchronization)
• Direction < 0 : Phases pointing downward (bearish synchronization)
🌀 EMERGENCE SCORE: MULTI-DIMENSIONAL ALIGNMENT
The emergence score aggregates all complexity metrics into a single 0-1 value representing market coherence.
Eight Components with Weights:
1. Phase Coherence (20%):
Direct contribution: coherence × 0.20
Measures dimensional synchronization.
2. Entropy Regime (15%):
Contribution: (0.6 - H_perm) / 0.6 × 0.15 if H < 0.6, else 0
Rewards low entropy (ordered, predictable states).
3. Lyapunov Stability (12%):
• λ < 0 (stable): +0.12
• |λ| < 0.1 (critical): +0.08
• λ > 0.2 (chaotic): +0.0
Requires stable, predictable dynamics.
4. Fractal Dimension Trending (12%):
Contribution: (1.45 - D) / 0.45 × 0.12 if D < 1.45, else 0
Rewards trending fractal structure (D < 1.45).
5. Dimensional Resonance (12%):
Contribution: |dimensional_resonance| × 0.12
Measures alignment across momentum, volume, structure, volatility dimensions.
6. Causal Flow Strength (9%):
Contribution: |net_causal_flow| × 0.09
Rewards strong causal relationships.
7. Phase Space Embedding (10%):
Contribution: min(|phase_magnitude_norm|, 3.0) / 3.0 × 0.10 if |magnitude| > 1.0
Rewards strong trajectory in reconstructed phase space.
8. Recurrence Quality (10%):
Contribution: determinism × 0.10 if DET > 0.3 AND 0.1 < RR < 0.8
Rewards deterministic patterns with moderate recurrence.
Total Emergence Score:
E = Σ(components) ∈
Capped at 1.0 maximum.
Emergence Direction:
Separate calculation determining bullish vs bearish:
• Dimensional resonance sign
• Net causal flow sign
• Phase magnitude correlation with momentum
Signal Threshold:
Default emergence_threshold = 0.75 means 75% of maximum possible emergence score required to trigger signals.
Why Emergence Matters:
Traditional indicators measure single dimensions. Emergence detects self-organization —when multiple independent dimensions spontaneously align. This is the market equivalent of a phase transition in physics, where microscopic chaos gives way to macroscopic order.
These are the highest-probability trade opportunities because the entire system is resonating in the same direction.
🎯 SIGNAL GENERATION: EMERGENCE vs RESONANCE
DRP generates two tiers of signals with different requirements:
TIER 1: EMERGENCE SIGNALS (Primary)
Requirements:
1. Emergence score ≥ threshold (default 0.75)
2. Phase coherence ≥ threshold (default 0.70)
3. Emergence direction > 0.2 (bullish) or < -0.2 (bearish)
4. Causal gate passed (if enabled): TE_V→P > 0 and net_flow confirms direction
5. Stability zone (if enabled): λ < 0 or |λ| < 0.1
6. Price confirmation: Close > open (bulls) or close < open (bears)
7. Cooldown satisfied: bars_since_signal ≥ cooldown_period
EMERGENCE BUY:
• All above conditions met with bullish direction
• Market has achieved coherent bullish state
• Multiple dimensions synchronized upward
EMERGENCE SELL:
• All above conditions met with bearish direction
• Market has achieved coherent bearish state
• Multiple dimensions synchronized downward
Premium Emergence:
When signal_quality (emergence_score × phase_coherence) > 0.7:
• Displayed as ★ star symbol
• Highest conviction trades
• Maximum dimensional alignment
Standard Emergence:
When signal_quality 0.5-0.7:
• Displayed as ◆ diamond symbol
• Strong signals but not perfect alignment
TIER 2: RESONANCE SIGNALS (Secondary)
Requirements:
1. Dimensional resonance > +0.6 (bullish) or < -0.6 (bearish)
2. Fractal dimension < 1.5 (trending/persistent regime)
3. Price confirmation matches direction
4. NOT in chaotic regime (λ < 0.2)
5. Cooldown satisfied
6. NO emergence signal firing (resonance is fallback)
RESONANCE BUY:
• Dimensional alignment without full emergence
• Trending fractal structure
• Moderate conviction
RESONANCE SELL:
• Dimensional alignment without full emergence
• Bearish resonance with trending structure
• Moderate conviction
Displayed as small ▲/▼ triangles with transparency.
Signal Hierarchy:
IF emergence conditions met:
Fire EMERGENCE signal (★ or ◆)
ELSE IF resonance conditions met:
Fire RESONANCE signal (▲ or ▼)
ELSE:
No signal
Cooldown System:
After any signal fires, cooldown_period (default 5 bars) must elapse before next signal. This prevents signal clustering during persistent conditions.
Cooldown tracks using bar_index:
bars_since_signal = current_bar_index - last_signal_bar_index
cooldown_ok = bars_since_signal >= cooldown_period
🎨 VISUAL SYSTEM: MULTI-LAYER COMPLEXITY
DRP provides rich visual feedback across four distinct layers:
LAYER 1: COHERENCE FIELD (Background)
Colored background intensity based on phase coherence:
• No background : Coherence < 0.5 (incoherent state)
• Faint glow : Coherence 0.5-0.7 (building coherence)
• Stronger glow : Coherence > 0.7 (coherent state)
Color:
• Cyan/teal: Bullish coherence (direction > 0)
• Red/magenta: Bearish coherence (direction < 0)
• Blue: Neutral coherence (direction ≈ 0)
Transparency: 98 minus (coherence_intensity × 10), so higher coherence = more visible.
LAYER 2: STABILITY/CHAOS ZONES
Background color indicating Lyapunov regime:
• Green tint (95% transparent): λ < 0, STABLE zone
- Safe to trade
- Patterns meaningful
• Gold tint (90% transparent): |λ| < 0.1, CRITICAL zone
- Edge of chaos
- Moderate risk
• Red tint (85% transparent): λ > 0.2, CHAOTIC zone
- Avoid trading
- Unpredictable behavior
LAYER 3: DIMENSIONAL RIBBONS
Three EMAs representing dimensional structure:
• Fast ribbon : EMA(8) in cyan/teal (fast dynamics)
• Medium ribbon : EMA(21) in blue (intermediate)
• Slow ribbon : EMA(55) in red/magenta (slow dynamics)
Provides visual reference for multi-scale structure without cluttering with raw phase space data.
LAYER 4: CAUSAL FLOW LINE
A thicker line plotted at EMA(13) colored by net causal flow:
• Cyan/teal : Net_flow > +0.1 (bullish causation)
• Red/magenta : Net_flow < -0.1 (bearish causation)
• Gray : |Net_flow| < 0.1 (neutral causation)
Shows real-time direction of information flow.
EMERGENCE FLASH:

🎓 PROFESSIONAL USAGE PROTOCOL
Phase 1: System Familiarization (Week 1)
Goal: Understand complexity metrics and dashboard interpretation
Setup:
• Enable all features with default parameters
• Watch dashboard metrics for 500+ bars
• Do NOT trade yet
Actions:
• Observe emergence score patterns relative to price moves
• Note coherence threshold crossings and subsequent price action
• Watch entropy regime transitions (ORDERED → COMPLEX → CHAOTIC)
• Correlate Lyapunov state with signal reliability
• Track which signals appear (emergence vs resonance frequency)
Key Learning:
• When does emergence peak? (usually before major moves)
• What entropy regime produces best signals? (typically ORDERED or MODERATE)
• Does your instrument respect stability zones? (stable λ = better signals)
Phase 2: Parameter Optimization (Week 2)
Goal: Tune system to instrument characteristics
Requirements:
• Understand basic dashboard metrics from Phase 1
• Have 1000+ bars of history loaded
Embedding Dimension & Time Delay:
• If signals very rare: Try lower dimension (d=3-4) or shorter delay (τ=2)
• If signals too frequent: Try higher dimension (d=6-7) or longer delay (τ=4-5)
• Sweet spot: 4-8 emergence signals per 100 bars
Coherence Threshold:
• Check dashboard: What's typical coherence range?
• If coherence rarely exceeds 0.70: Lower threshold to 0.60-0.65
• If coherence often >0.80: Can raise threshold to 0.75-0.80
• Goal: Signals fire during top 20-30% of coherence values
Emergence Threshold:
• If too few signals: Lower to 0.65-0.70
• If too many signals: Raise to 0.80-0.85
• Balance with coherence threshold—both must be met
Phase 3: Signal Quality Assessment (Weeks 3-4)
Goal: Verify signals have edge via paper trading
Requirements:
• Parameters optimized per Phase 2
• 50+ signals generated
• Detailed notes on each signal
Paper Trading Protocol:
• Take EVERY emergence signal (★ and ◆)
• Optional: Take resonance signals (▲/▼) separately to compare
• Use simple exit: 2R target, 1R stop (ATR-based)
• Track: Win rate, average R-multiple, maximum consecutive losses
Quality Metrics:
• Premium emergence (★) : Should achieve >55% WR
• Standard emergence (◆) : Should achieve >50% WR
• Resonance signals : Should achieve >45% WR
• Overall : If <45% WR, system not suitable for this instrument/timeframe
Red Flags:
• Win rate <40%: Wrong instrument or parameters need major adjustment
• Max consecutive losses >10: System not working in current regime
• Profit factor <1.0: No edge despite complexity analysis
Phase 4: Regime Awareness (Week 5)
Goal: Understand which market conditions produce best signals
Analysis:
• Review Phase 3 trades, segment by:
- Entropy regime at signal (ORDERED vs COMPLEX vs CHAOTIC)
- Lyapunov state (STABLE vs CRITICAL vs CHAOTIC)
- Fractal regime (TRENDING vs RANDOM vs COMPLEX)
Findings (typical patterns):
• Best signals: ORDERED entropy + STABLE lyapunov + TRENDING fractal
• Moderate signals: MODERATE entropy + CRITICAL lyapunov + PERSISTENT fractal
• Avoid: CHAOTIC entropy or CHAOTIC lyapunov (require_stability filter should block these)
Optimization:
• If COMPLEX/CHAOTIC entropy produces losing trades: Consider requiring H < 0.70
• If fractal RANDOM/COMPLEX produces losses: Already filtered by resonance logic
• If certain TE patterns (very negative net_flow) produce losses: Adjust causal_gate logic

Setup:
• 10-20% of intended position size
• Focus on premium emergence signals (★) only initially
• Proper stop placement (1.5-2.0 ATR)
Execution Notes:
• Emergence signals can fire mid-bar as metrics update
• Use alerts for signal detection
• Entry on close of signal bar or next bar open
• DO NOT chase—if price gaps away, skip the trade
Comparison:
• Your live results should track within 10-15% of paper results

• Track phase space magnitude patterns before major moves
• Combine with other indicators for confluence
💡 DEVELOPMENT INSIGHTS & KEY BREAKTHROUGHS
The Phase Space Revelation:
Traditional indicators live in price-time space. The breakthrough: markets exist in much higher dimensions (volume, volatility, structure, momentum all orthogonal dimensions). Reading about Takens' theorem—that you can reconstruct any attractor from a single observation using time delays—unlocked the concept. Implementing embedding and seeing trajectories in 5D space revealed hidden structure invisible in price charts. Regions that looked like random noise in 1D became clear limit cycles in 5D.
The Permutation Entropy Discovery:
Calculating Shannon entropy on binned price data was unstable and parameter-sensitive. Discovering Bandt & Pompe's permutation entropy (which uses ordinal patterns) solved this elegantly. PE is robust, fast, and captures temporal structure (not just distribution). Testing showed PE < 0.5 periods had 18% higher signal win rate than PE > 0.7 periods. Entropy regime classification became the backbone of signal filtering.
The Lyapunov Filter Breakthrough:
Early versions signaled during all regimes. Win rate hovered at 42%—barely better than random. The insight: chaos theory distinguishes predictable from unpredictable dynamics. Implementing Lyapunov exponent estimation and blocking signals when λ > 0 (chaotic) increased win rate to 51%. Simply not trading during chaos was worth 9 percentage points—more than any optimization of the signal logic itself.
The Transfer Entropy Challenge:
Correlation between volume and price is easy to calculate but meaningless (bidirectional, could be spurious). Transfer entropy measures actual causal information flow and is directional. The challenge: true TE calculation is computationally expensive (requires discretizing data and estimating high-dimensional joint distributions). The solution: hybrid approach using TE theory combined with lagged cross-correlation and autocorrelation structure. Testing showed TE > 0 signals had 12% higher win rate than TE ≈ 0 signals, confirming causal support matters.
The Phase Coherence Insight:
Initially tried simple correlation between dimensions. Not predictive. Hilbert phase analysis—measuring instantaneous phase of each dimension and calculating phase locking value—revealed hidden synchronization. When PLV > 0.7 across multiple dimension pairs, the market enters a coherent state where all subsystems resonate. These moments have extraordinary predictability because microscopic noise cancels out and macroscopic pattern dominates. Emergence signals require high PLV for this reason.
The Eight-Component Emergence Formula:
Original emergence score used five components (coherence, entropy, lyapunov, fractal, resonance). Performance was good but not exceptional. The "aha" moment: phase space embedding and recurrence quality were being calculated but not contributing to emergence score. Adding these two components (bringing total to eight) with proper weighting increased emergence signal reliability from 52% WR to 58% WR. All calculated metrics must contribute to the final score. If you compute something, use it.
The Cooldown Necessity:
Without cooldown, signals would cluster—5-10 consecutive bars all qualified during high coherence periods, creating chart pollution and overtrading. Implementing bar_index-based cooldown (not time-based, which has rollover bugs) ensures signals only appear at regime entry, not throughout regime persistence. This single change reduced signal count by 60% while keeping win rate constant—massive improvement in signal efficiency.
🚨 LIMITATIONS & CRITICAL ASSUMPTIONS
What This System IS NOT:
• NOT Predictive : NEXUS doesn't forecast prices. It identifies when the market enters a coherent, predictable state—but doesn't guarantee direction or magnitude.
• NOT Holy Grail : Typical performance is 50-58% win rate with 1.5-2.0 avg R-multiple. This is probabilistic edge from complexity analysis, not certainty.
• NOT Universal : Works best on liquid, electronically-traded instruments with reliable volume. Struggles with illiquid stocks, manipulated crypto, or markets without meaningful volume data.
• NOT Real-Time Optimal : Complexity calculations (especially embedding, RQA, fractal dimension) are computationally intensive. Dashboard updates may lag by 1-2 seconds on slower connections.
• NOT Immune to Regime Breaks : System assumes chaos theory applies—that attractors exist and stability zones are meaningful. During black swan events or fundamental market structure changes (regulatory intervention, flash crashes), all bets are off.
Core Assumptions:
1. Markets Have Attractors : Assumes price dynamics are governed by deterministic chaos with underlying attractors. Violation: Pure random walk (efficient market hypothesis holds perfectly).
2. Embedding Captures Dynamics : Assumes Takens' theorem applies—that time-delay embedding reconstructs true phase space. Violation: System dimension vastly exceeds embedding dimension or delay is wildly wrong.
3. Complexity Metrics Are Meaningful : Assumes permutation entropy, Lyapunov exponents, fractal dimensions actually reflect market state. Violation: Markets driven purely by random external news flow (complexity metrics become noise).
4. Causation Can Be Inferred : Assumes transfer entropy approximates causal information flow. Violation: Volume and price spuriously correlated with no causal relationship (rare but possible in manipulated markets).
5. Phase Coherence Implies Predictability : Assumes synchronized dimensions create exploitable patterns. Violation: Coherence by chance during random period (false positive).
6. Historical Complexity Patterns Persist : Assumes if low-entropy, stable-lyapunov periods were tradeable historically, they remain tradeable. Violation: Fundamental regime change (market structure shifts, e.g., transition from floor trading to HFT).
Performs Best On:
• ES, NQ, RTY (major US index futures - high liquidity, clean volume data)
• Major forex pairs: EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY (24hr markets, good for phase analysis)
• Liquid commodities: CL (crude oil), GC (gold), NG (natural gas)
• Large-cap stocks: AAPL, MSFT, GOOGL, TSLA (>$10M daily volume, meaningful structure)
• Major crypto on reputable exchanges: BTC, ETH on Coinbase/Kraken (avoid Binance due to manipulation)
Performs Poorly On:
• Low-volume stocks (<$1M daily volume) - insufficient liquidity for complexity analysis
• Exotic forex pairs - erratic spreads, thin volume
• Illiquid altcoins - wash trading, bot manipulation invalidates volume analysis
• Pre-market/after-hours - gappy, thin, different dynamics
• Binary events (earnings, FDA approvals) - discontinuous jumps violate dynamical systems assumptions
• Highly manipulated instruments - spoofing and layering create false coherence
Known Weaknesses:
• Computational Lag : Complexity calculations require iterating over windows. On slow connections, dashboard may update 1-2 seconds after bar close. Signals may appear delayed.
• Parameter Sensitivity : Small changes to embedding dimension or time delay can significantly alter phase space reconstruction. Requires careful calibration per instrument.
• Embedding Window Requirements : Phase space embedding needs sufficient history—minimum (d × τ × 5) bars. If embedding_dimension=5 and time_delay=3, need 75+ bars. Early bars will be unreliable.
• Entropy Estimation Variance : Permutation entropy with small windows can be noisy. Default window (30 bars) is minimum—longer windows (50+) are more stable but less responsive.
• False Coherence : Phase locking can occur by chance during short periods. Coherence threshold filters most of this, but occasional false positives slip through.
• Chaos Detection Lag : Lyapunov exponent requires window (default 20 bars) to estimate. Market can enter chaos and produce bad signal before λ > 0 is detected. Stability filter helps but doesn't eliminate this.
• Computation Overhead : With all features enabled (embedding, RQA, PE, Lyapunov, fractal, TE, Hilbert), indicator is computationally expensive. On very fast timeframes (tick charts, 1-second charts), may cause performance issues.
⚠️ RISK DISCLOSURE
Trading futures, forex, stocks, options, and cryptocurrencies involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors. Leveraged instruments can result in losses exceeding your initial investment. Past performance, whether backtested or live, is not indicative of future results.
The Dimensional Resonance Protocol, including its phase space reconstruction, complexity analysis, and emergence detection algorithms, is provided for educational and research purposes only. It is not financial advice, investment advice, or a recommendation to buy or sell any security or instrument.
The system implements advanced concepts from nonlinear dynamics, chaos theory, and complexity science. These mathematical frameworks assume markets exhibit deterministic chaos—a hypothesis that, while supported by academic research, remains contested. Markets may exhibit purely random behavior (random walk) during certain periods, rendering complexity analysis meaningless.
Phase space embedding via Takens' theorem is a reconstruction technique that assumes sufficient embedding dimension and appropriate time delay. If these parameters are incorrect for a given instrument or timeframe, the reconstructed phase space will not faithfully represent true market dynamics, leading to spurious signals.
Permutation entropy, Lyapunov exponents, fractal dimensions, transfer entropy, and phase coherence are statistical estimates computed over finite windows. All have inherent estimation error. Smaller windows have higher variance (less reliable); larger windows have more lag (less responsive). There is no universally optimal window size.
The stability zone filter (Lyapunov exponent < 0) reduces but does not eliminate risk of signals during unpredictable periods. Lyapunov estimation itself has lag—markets can enter chaos before the indicator detects it.
Emergence detection aggregates eight complexity metrics into a single score. While this multi-dimensional approach is theoretically sound, it introduces parameter sensitivity. Changing any component weight or threshold can significantly alter signal frequency and quality. Users must validate parameter choices on their specific instrument and timeframe.
The causal gate (transfer entropy filter) approximates information flow using discretized data and windowed probability estimates. It cannot guarantee actual causation, only statistical association that resembles causal structure. Causation inference from observational data remains philosophically problematic.
Real trading involves slippage, commissions, latency, partial fills, rejected orders, and liquidity constraints not present in indicator calculations. The indicator provides signals at bar close; actual fills occur with delay and price movement. Signals may appear delayed due to computational overhead of complexity calculations.
Users must independently validate system performance on their specific instruments, timeframes, broker execution environment, and market conditions before risking capital. Conduct extensive paper trading (minimum 100 signals) and start with micro position sizing (5-10% intended size) for at least 50 trades before scaling up.
Never risk more capital than you can afford to lose completely. Use proper position sizing (0.5-2% risk per trade maximum). Implement stop losses on every trade. Maintain adequate margin/capital reserves. Understand that most retail traders lose money. Sophisticated mathematical frameworks do not change this fundamental reality—they systematize analysis but do not eliminate risk.
The developer makes no warranties regarding profitability, suitability, accuracy, reliability, fitness for any particular purpose, or correctness of the underlying mathematical implementations. Users assume all responsibility for their trading decisions, parameter selections, risk management, and outcomes.
By using this indicator, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and accepted these risk disclosures and limitations, and you accept full responsibility for all trading activity and potential losses.
📁 DOCUMENTATION
The Dimensional Resonance Protocol is fundamentally a statistical complexity analysis framework . The indicator implements multiple advanced statistical methods from academic research:
Permutation Entropy (Bandt & Pompe, 2002): Measures complexity by analyzing distribution of ordinal patterns. Pure statistical concept from information theory.
Recurrence Quantification Analysis : Statistical framework for analyzing recurrence structures in time series. Computes recurrence rate, determinism, and diagonal line statistics.
Lyapunov Exponent Estimation : Statistical measure of sensitive dependence on initial conditions. Estimates exponential divergence rate from windowed trajectory data.
Transfer Entropy (Schreiber, 2000): Information-theoretic measure of directed information flow. Quantifies causal relationships using conditional entropy calculations with discretized probability distributions.
Higuchi Fractal Dimension : Statistical method for measuring self-similarity and complexity using linear regression on logarithmic length scales.
Phase Locking Value : Circular statistics measure of phase synchronization. Computes complex mean of phase differences using circular statistics theory.
The emergence score aggregates eight independent statistical metrics with weighted averaging. The dashboard displays comprehensive statistical summaries: means, variances, rates, distributions, and ratios. Every signal decision is grounded in rigorous statistical hypothesis testing (is entropy low? is lyapunov negative? is coherence above threshold?).
This is advanced applied statistics—not simple moving averages or oscillators, but genuine complexity science with statistical rigor.
Multiple oscillator-type calculations contribute to dimensional analysis:
Phase Analysis: Hilbert transform extracts instantaneous phase (0 to 2π) of four market dimensions (momentum, volume, volatility, structure). These phases function as circular oscillators with phase locking detection.
Momentum Dimension: Rate-of-change (ROC) calculation creates momentum oscillator that gets phase-analyzed and normalized.
Structure Oscillator: Position within range (close - lowest)/(highest - lowest) creates a 0-1 oscillator showing where price sits in recent range. This gets embedded and phase-analyzed.
Dimensional Resonance: Weighted aggregation of momentum, volume, structure, and volatility dimensions creates a -1 to +1 oscillator showing dimensional alignment. Similar to traditional oscillators but multi-dimensional.
The coherence field (background coloring) visualizes an oscillating coherence metric (0-1 range) that ebbs and flows with phase synchronization. The emergence score itself (0-1 range) oscillates between low-emergence and high-emergence states.
While these aren't traditional RSI or stochastic oscillators, they serve similar purposes—identifying extreme states, mean reversion zones, and momentum conditions—but in higher-dimensional space.
Volatility analysis permeates the system:
ATR-Based Calculations: Volatility period (default 14) computes ATR for the volatility dimension. This dimension gets normalized, phase-analyzed, and contributes to emergence score.
Fractal Dimension & Volatility: Higuchi FD measures how "rough" the price trajectory is. Higher FD (>1.6) correlates with higher volatility/choppiness. FD < 1.4 indicates smooth trends (lower effective volatility).
Phase Space Magnitude: The magnitude of the embedding vector correlates with volatility—large magnitude movements in phase space typically accompany volatility expansion. This is the "energy" of the market trajectory.
Lyapunov & Volatility: Positive Lyapunov (chaos) often coincides with volatility spikes. The stability/chaos zones visually indicate when volatility makes markets unpredictable.
Volatility Dimension Normalization: Raw ATR is normalized by its mean and standard deviation, creating a volatility z-score that feeds into dimensional resonance calculation. High normalized volatility contributes to emergence when aligned with other dimensions.
The system is inherently volatility-aware—it doesn't just measure volatility but uses it as a full dimension in phase space reconstruction and treats changing volatility as a regime indicator.
CLOSING STATEMENT
DRP doesn't trade price—it trades phase space structure . It doesn't chase patterns—it detects emergence . It doesn't guess at trends—it measures coherence .
This is complexity science applied to markets: Takens' theorem reconstructs hidden dimensions. Permutation entropy measures order. Lyapunov exponents detect chaos. Transfer entropy reveals causation. Hilbert phases find synchronization. Fractal dimensions quantify self-similarity.
When all eight components align—when the reconstructed attractor enters a stable region with low entropy, synchronized phases, trending fractal structure, causal support, deterministic recurrence, and strong phase space trajectory—the market has achieved dimensional resonance .
These are the highest-probability moments. Not because an indicator said so. Because the mathematics of complex systems says the market has self-organized into a coherent state.
Most indicators see shadows on the wall. DRP reconstructs the cave.
"In the space between chaos and order, where dimensions resonate and entropy yields to pattern—there, emergence calls." DRP
