Scalp Precision Matrix [BullByte]SCALP PRECISION MATRIX (SPM)
OVERVIEW
Scalp Precision Matrix (SPM) is a comprehensive decision-support framework designed specifically for scalpers and short-term traders. This indicator synthesizes five distinct analytical layers into a unified system that helps identify high-quality setups while avoiding common pitfalls that trap traders.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
THE CORE PROBLEM THIS INDICATOR ADDRESSES
Scalping demands rapid decision-making while simultaneously processing multiple data points. Traders constantly ask themselves: Is momentum still alive? Am I entering near a potential reversal zone? Is this the right session to trade? What is my actual risk-to-reward? Most traders either overwhelm themselves with too many separate indicators (creating analysis paralysis) or use too few (missing crucial context).
SPM was developed to consolidate these essential checks into one cohesive framework. Rather than overlaying disconnected indicators, each component in SPM directly informs and adjusts the others, creating an integrated analytical system.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
WHY THESE SPECIFIC COMPONENTS AND HOW THEY WORK TOGETHER
The five analytical layers in SPM are not arbitrarily combined. Each addresses a specific question in the scalping decision process, and together they form a logical workflow:
LAYER 1: MOMENTUM FUEL GAUGE
This answers the question: "Does the current move still have energy?"
After any impulse move (a significant directional price movement), momentum naturally decays over time. The Fuel Gauge estimates remaining momentum by analyzing four factors:
Body Strength (30% weight): Compares recent candle body sizes against the historical average. Strong momentum produces candles with large bodies relative to their wicks. The calculation takes the 3-bar average body size divided by the 20-bar average body size, then scales it to a 0-100 range.
Wick Rejection (25% weight): Measures the wick-to-body ratio. When wicks are large relative to bodies, it suggests rejection and weakening momentum. A ratio of 2.0 or higher (wicks twice the body size) scores low; smaller ratios score higher.
Volume Consistency (20% weight): Compares recent 3-bar average volume against the lookback period average. Sustained moves require consistent volume support. Volume dropping off suggests the move may be losing participation.
Time Decay (25% weight): Tracks how many bars have passed since the last detected impulse. Momentum naturally fades over time. The typical impulse duration is adjusted based on the current volatility regime.
These components are weighted and combined, then smoothed with a 3-period EMA to reduce noise. The result is a 0-100% gauge where:
- Above 70% = Strong momentum (green)
- 40-70% = Moderate momentum (amber)
- Below 40% = Weak momentum (red)
- Below 20% = Exhausted (triggers EXIT warning)
The Fuel Gauge also estimates how many bars of momentum remain based on the current burn rate.
IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER : The Fuel Gauge is NOT order flow, volume profile, or depth of market data. It is a technical proxy calculated entirely from standard OHLCV (Open, High, Low, Close, Volume) data. The term "Fuel" is used metaphorically to represent estimated remaining momentum energy.
LAYER 2: TRAP ZONE DETECTION
This answers the question: "Am I walking into a potential reversal area?"
Price tends to reverse at levels where it has reversed before. SPM identifies these zones by detecting clusters of historical swing points:
How it works:
1. The indicator detects swing highs and swing lows using the Swing Detection Length setting (default 5 bars on each side required to confirm a pivot).
2. Recent swing points are stored (up to 10 of each type).
3. For each potential zone, the algorithm counts how many swing points cluster within a tolerance of 0.5 ATR.
4. Zones with 2 or more clustered swing points, positioned between 0.3 and 4.0 ATR from current price, are marked as Trap Zones.
5. A Confluence Score is calculated based on cluster density and proximity to current price.
The percentage displayed (e.g., "TRAP 85%") is a CONFLUENCE SCORE, not a probability. Higher percentages mean more swing points cluster at that level and price is closer to it. This indicates stronger historical significance, not a prediction of future reversal.
CRITICAL DISCLAIMER : Trap Zones are NOT institutional order flow, liquidity pools, smart money footprints, or any proprietary data feed. They are calculated purely from historical swing point clustering using standard technical analysis. The term "trap" describes how price action has historically reversed at these levels, potentially trapping traders who enter prematurely. This is pattern recognition, not market structure data.
LAYER 3: VELOCITY ANALYSIS
This answers the question: "Is price moving favorably right now?"
Velocity measures how fast price is currently moving compared to its recent average:
Calculation:
- Current velocity = Absolute price change from previous bar divided by ATR
- Average velocity = Simple moving average of velocity over the lookback period
- Velocity ratio = Current velocity divided by average velocity
Classification:
- FAST (ratio above 1.5 ): Price is moving significantly faster than normal. Good for momentum continuation plays.
- NORMAL (ratio 0.5 to 1.5) : Typical price movement speed.
- SLOW (ratio below 0.5 ): Price is moving sluggishly. Often indicates ranging or choppy conditions where scalping becomes difficult.
The velocity score contributes 18% to the overall quality score calculation.
LAYER 4: SESSION AWARENESS
This answers the question: "Is this a good time to trade?"
Different trading sessions have different characteristics. SPM automatically detects which major session is active and adjusts its quality assessment:
Session Times (all in UTC):
- A sia Session : 00:00 - 08:00 UTC
- London Session : 08:00 - 16:00 UTC
- New York Session : 13:00 - 21:00 UTC
- London/NY Overlap : 13:00 - 16:00 UTC
- Off-Peak : Outside major sessions
Session Quality Weighting:
- Overlap : 100 points (highest liquidity, best movement)
- London : 85 points
- New York : 80 points
- Asia : 50 points (tends to range more)
- Off-Peak : 30 points (lower liquidity, more false signals)
The session score contributes 17% to the overall quality calculation. Signals are also filtered to prevent firing during off-peak hours.
Note : These are fixed UTC times and may not perfectly match your broker's session boundaries. Use them as general guidance rather than precise timing.
LAYER 5: VOLATILITY REGIME ADAPTATION
This answers the question: "How should I adjust for current market conditions?"
SPM compares current volatility (14-period ATR) against historical volatility (50-period ATR) to categorize the market:
HIGH Volatility (ratio above 1.3): Current ATR is 30%+ above normal. SPM widens thresholds to filter noise and extends target projections.
NORMAL Volatility (ratio 0.7 to 1.3): Typical conditions. Standard parameters apply.
LOW Volatility (ratio below 0.7): Current ATR is 30%+ below normal. SPM tightens thresholds for sensitivity and reduces target expectations. The market state may show AVOID during prolonged low volatility.
This adaptation prevents false signals during erratic markets and missed signals during quiet markets.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
THE SYNERGY: WHY THIS COMBINATION MATTERS
These five layers are not independent indicators placed on one chart. They form an interconnected system:
- A signal only fires when momentum exists (Fuel above 40%), price is away from danger zones (Trap Zones factored into quality score), movement is favorable (Velocity contributes to score), timing is appropriate (Session is not off-peak), and volatility is accounted for (thresholds adapt to regime).
- The Trap Zones directly influence Entry Zone placement. Entry zones are positioned beyond trap zones to avoid getting caught in reversals.
- Target projections automatically adjust to avoid placing take-profit levels inside detected trap zones.
- The Fuel Gauge affects which signal tier fires. Insufficient fuel prevents all signals.
- Session quality is weighted into the overall score, reducing signal quality during less favorable trading hours.
This integration is the core originality of SPM. Each component makes the others more useful than they would be in isolation.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
HOW THE QUALITY SCORE IS CALCULATED
The Quality Score (0-100) synthesizes all layers into a single number for each direction (long and short):
For Long Quality Score:
- Fuel Component (28% weight) : Full fuel value if impulse direction is bullish; 60% of fuel value otherwise
- Trap Avoidance (22% weight) : 75 points if no trap zone below; otherwise 100 minus the trap confluence score (minimum 20)
- Velocity Component (18% weight) : Direct velocity score
- Session Component (17% weight) : Current session quality score
- Trend Alignment (15% bonus) : Adds 12 points if price is above the 20-period SMA
For Short Quality Score:
- Same structure but reversed (bearish impulse direction, trap zone above, price below SMA)
The direction with the higher score becomes the current Bias. A 12-point difference is required to switch bias, preventing flip-flopping in neutral conditions.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SIGNAL TYPES AND WHAT THEY MEAN
SPM generates four types of signals, each with specific visual representation:
PRIME SIGNALS (Cyan Diamond)
These represent the highest quality confluence. Requirements:
- Quality score crosses above the Prime threshold (default 80)
- Bias aligns with signal direction
- Fuel is sufficient (above 40%)
- Session is active (not off-peak)
- Cooldown period has passed
Prime signals appear as cyan-colored diamond shapes. Long signals appear below the bar; short signals appear above.
STANDARD SIGNALS (Green Triangle Up / Red Triangle Down)
These represent good quality setups. Requirements:
- Quality score crosses above the Standard threshold (default 75) but below Prime
- Same bias, fuel, and cooldown requirements as Prime
Standard signals appear as small triangles in green (long) or red (short).
CAUTION SIGNALS (Small Faded Circle)
These represent minimum threshold setups. Requirements:
- Quality score crosses above the Caution threshold (default 65) but below Standard
- Same additional requirements
Caution signals appear as small, faded circles. These suggest the setup exists but with weaker confluence. Consider these only when broader market context supports them, or skip them entirely during uncertain conditions.
EXHAUSTION SIGNAL (Purple X with "EXIT" text)
This warning appears when the Fuel Gauge drops below 20% from above, indicating momentum has depleted. This is not a trade signal but a warning to:
- Consider exiting existing positions
- Avoid entering new trades in the current direction
- Wait for new momentum to develop
All signals use CONFIRMED bar data only (referencing the previous closed bar) to prevent repainting. Once a signal appears, it will never disappear or change position on historical bars.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
READING THE CHART ELEMENTS
TRAP ZONES (Red Dashed Box with "TRAP XX%" Label)
These mark price levels where multiple historical swing points cluster. The red dashed box shows the zone boundaries. The percentage is the confluence score indicating cluster strength and proximity.
How to use: When price approaches a trap zone, be cautious about entering in that direction. If your bias is LONG and there's a strong trap zone above, consider taking partial profits before price reaches it or adjusting your target below it.
ENTRY ZONES (Green Solid Box with "ENTRY" Label)
These show suggested entry areas based on the current bias direction. For LONG bias, the entry zone appears below the trap zone (buying the dip beyond support). For SHORT bias, it appears above the trap zone (selling the rally beyond resistance).
How to use: Rather than entering at current price, consider placing limit orders within the entry zone. This positions you beyond where typical trap reversals occur.
TARGET ZONES (Blue Dotted Box with "TARGET" Label)
These project potential take-profit areas based on ATR multiples, adjusted for:
- Current volatility regime (wider in high volatility, tighter in low)
- Impulse direction (larger targets when aligned with impulse)
- Nearby trap zones (targets adjust to avoid placing TP inside trap zones)
How to use: These are suggestions, not guarantees. Consider taking partial profits before the target or using trailing stops once price moves favorably.
STOP LEVEL (Orange Dashed Line with "STOP" Label)
This shows suggested stop-loss placement, calculated as 0.8 ATR beyond the trap zone (or 2.0 ATR from current price if no trap zone exists).
How to use: This provides a reference for risk calculation. The dashboard R:R ratio is calculated using this stop level.
Chart Example: Scalp Precision Matrix displays real-time market analysis through dynamic zones and quality scores. ENTRY/TARGET/STOP zones show potential price levels based on current market structure - they appear continuously as reference points, NOT as trade instructions. Actual trade signals (diamonds, triangles, circles) fire only when multiple conditions align: quality score thresholds are crossed, fuel gauge is sufficient, session is active, and cooldown period has passed. The zones help you understand market context; the signals tell you when to act.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SETTINGS EXPLAINED
CORE SETTINGS:
Analysis Lookback (Default: 20)
Number of bars used for statistical calculations including average volume and average body size. Higher values create smoother but slower-reacting analysis. Lower values are more responsive but may include more noise.
Swing Detection Length (Default: 5)
Bars required on each side to confirm a swing high or low. A setting of 5 means a swing high must have 5 lower highs on each side. Lower values detect more swings (more trap zones, more sensitivity). Higher values find only major pivots (fewer but more significant zones).
Impulse Sensitivity (Default: 1.5)
Multiplier for ATR when detecting impulse moves. Lower values (like 1.0) detect smaller price movements as impulses, refreshing the fuel gauge more frequently. Higher values (like 2.5) require larger moves, making impulse detection less frequent but more significant.
SIGNAL SETTINGS:
Prime/Standard/Caution Thresholds (Defaults: 80/75/65)
These control the quality score required for each signal tier. You can adjust these based on your preference:
- More conservative : Raise thresholds (e.g., 85/80/70) for fewer but higher-quality signals
- More aggressive : Lower thresholds (e.g., 75/70/60) for more signals with slightly lower quality
Signal Cooldown (Default: 8 bars)
Minimum bars between signals to prevent signal spam. After any signal fires, no new signals can appear until this many bars pass. Increase for fewer signals in choppy markets; decrease if you want faster signal refresh.
Show Prime/Standard/Caution/Exhaustion Signals
Toggle each signal type on or off based on your preference.
ZONE DISPLAY:
Show Trap Zones / Entry Zones / Target Zones / Stop Levels
Toggle each zone type on or off. Turning off zones you don't use reduces chart clutter.
Zone Transparency (Default: 88)
Controls how transparent zone boxes appear. Higher values (closer to 95) make zones barely visible; lower values (closer to 75) make them more prominent.
Zone History (Default: 25 bars)
How far back zone boxes extend on the chart. Purely visual preference.
BACKGROUND:
Background Mode (Options: Off, Subtle, Normal)
Controls whether and how intensely the chart background is colored. Subtle is barely noticeable; Normal is more visible; Off disables background coloring entirely.
Background Type (Options: Bias, Fuel)
- Bias : Colors background based on current directional lean (green for long, red for short)
- Fuel : Colors background based on momentum level (green for high fuel, amber for moderate, red for low)
DASHBOARD / QUICK PANEL:
Show Dashboard / Show Quick Panel
Toggle each panel on or off.
Compact Mode
When enabled, the main dashboard shows only essential rows (quality bars, bias, R:R, fuel, session) without entry/stop/target levels, volatility, velocity, or time remaining.
Position Settings
Choose where each panel appears on your chart from six options: Top Right, Top Left, Bottom Right, Bottom Left, Middle Right, Middle Left.
ALERTS:
Alert Prime Signals / Standard Signals / Fuel Exhaustion
Enable or disable TradingView alerts for each condition. When enabled, you can set up alerts in TradingView that will notify you when these conditions occur.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
RECOMMENDED TIMEFRAMES AND USAGE
OPTIMAL TIMEFRAMES:
- 1-minute to 5-minute : Best for active scalping with quick entries and exits
- 5-minute to 15-minute : Balanced scalping with slightly more confirmation
- 15-minute to 1-hour : Short-term swing entries, fewer but more significant signals
Zone visualizations only appear on intraday timeframes to prevent chart clutter on higher timeframes.
BEST PRACTICES:
1. Trade primarily during LONDON, NEW YORK, or OVERLAP sessions. The indicator weights these sessions higher for good reason - liquidity and movement are typically better.
2. Prioritize PRIME signals. These represent the highest confluence and have proven most reliable. Use STANDARD signals as secondary opportunities. Treat CAUTION signals with extra scrutiny.
3. Respect the Fuel Gauge. Avoid entering new positions when fuel is below 40%. When the EXIT signal appears, seriously consider closing or reducing positions.
4. Pay attention to TRAP warnings. When the dashboard shows a trap zone in your bias direction, be cautious about holding through that level.
5. Verify R:R before entry. The dashboard shows the risk-to-reward ratio. Ensure it meets your minimum requirements (many traders require at least 1.5:1 or 2:1).
6. When state shows AVOID or EXIT, step back. These conditions typically produce poor results.
7. Combine with your own analysis. SPM is a decision-support tool, not a standalone system. Use it alongside your understanding of market structure, news events, and overall context.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
PRACTICAL EXAMPLE
Scenario : You're watching a 5-minute chart during London session. A cyan diamond (Prime Long signal) appears below the bar.
Before entering, you check the dashboard:
- State shows "PRIME" - conditions are favorable
- Fuel shows "72% (8)" - plenty of momentum remaining (approximately 8 bars)
- R:R shows "1:2.3" - acceptable risk-to-reward ratio
- Session shows "LONDON" - active session with good liquidity
- No TRAP warning in dashboard - no immediate resistance cluster in your way
- Entry zone visible on chart at a lower price level
- Stop and Target zones clearly marked
With this confluence of factors, you have context for a more informed decision. The signal indicates quality, the fuel suggests momentum remains, the R:R is favorable, and no immediate trap threatens your trade.
However, you also notice the target zone sits just below where a trap zone would be if there were one. This is by design - SPM adjusts targets to avoid placing them inside reversal zones.
This multi-factor confirmation delivered in a single glance is what SPM provides.
Chart Example :This chart demonstrates how the Scalp Precision Matrix identifies key market transitions. After a strong bullish impulse (cyan PRIME signal at ~08:30), price reached a historical reversal cluster (TRAP ZONE at 92,300). The indicator detected momentum exhaustion (purple EXIT signal) as fuel dropped below 20%, warning traders to exit longs. Now showing a SHORT bias with entry/stop/target zones clearly marked. The 92% trap zone confluence indicates a strong cluster of previous swing highs where price historically reversed.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
DATA WINDOW VALUES
For detailed analysis and strategy development, SPM exports the following values to TradingView's Data Window (visible when you hover over the chart with the indicator selected):
- Long Quality Score (0-100)
- Short Quality Score (0-100)
- Fuel Gauge (0-100%)
- Risk:Reward Ratio
These values can be useful for understanding how the indicator behaves over time and for developing your own insights about when it works best for your trading style.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
NON-REPAINTING CONFIRMATION
All signals in SPM are generated using CONFIRMED bar data only. The signal logic references the previous closed bar's values ( and in Pine Script terms). This means:
- Signals appear at the OPEN of the new bar (after the previous bar closes)
- Signals will NEVER disappear once they appear
- Signals will NEVER change position on historical bars
- What you see in backtesting is what you would have seen in real-time
The dashboard and zones update in real-time to provide current market context, but the trading signals themselves are non-repainting.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
IMPORTANT DISCLAIMERS
TERMINOLOGY CLARIFICATION:
This indicator uses terms that might imply access to data it does not have. To be completely transparent:
- "Trap Zones" are calculated from historical swing point clustering. They are NOT institutional liquidity pools, order blocks, smart money footprints, or any form of order flow data. The term "trap" is metaphorical, describing how price has historically reversed at these levels.
- "Fuel Gauge" is a technical momentum proxy. It is NOT order flow, volume profile, depth of market, or bid/ask data. It estimates momentum remaining based entirely on standard OHLCV price and volume data.
- "Quality Scores" are weighted combinations of the technical factors described above. A high score indicates multiple conditions align favorably according to the indicator's logic. It does NOT predict or guarantee trade success.
- The percentages shown on trap zones are CONFLUENCE SCORES measuring cluster density and proximity. They are NOT probability predictions of reversal.
TRADING RISK WARNING:
Trading involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors. This indicator is a technical analysis tool designed to assist with decision-making. It does not constitute financial advice, trading advice, or any other sort of advice. Past performance of any signal or pattern does not guarantee future results. Markets are inherently unpredictable.
Always use proper risk management. Define your risk before entering any trade. Never risk more than you can afford to lose. Consider consulting with a licensed financial advisor before making trading decisions.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
ORIGINALITY STATEMENT - NOT A MASHUP
Scalp Precision Matrix is an original work that combines several analytical concepts into a purpose-built scalping framework. While individual components like ATR calculations, pivot detection, session timing, and trend alignment exist in various forms elsewhere, the specific implementation here represents original synthesis:
- The Fuel Gauge decay model with its four-component weighted calculation
- The Trap Zone cluster detection with confluence scoring
- The multi-factor quality scoring system that integrates all layers
- The trap-aware entry and target zone placement logic
- The volatility regime adaptation across all components
- The session weighting is integrated into the quality assessment
The indicator does not simply overlay separate indicators on one chart. It creates interconnected layers where each component informs and adjusts the others. This integration is the core originality of SPM.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
For best results, combine SPM with your own market understanding and always practice proper risk management.

Scalping
Aggressive ScalpingAggressive Scalping — EMA × RSI × VWAP × ADX Mesh-Up
Aggressive Scalping is a precision intraday indicator designed for range-to-early expansion environments, where most scalping strategies either over-trade or get chopped up.
This indicator intentionally meshes four complementary tools—EMA structure, RSI momentum, VWAP bias, and ADX regime detection—to isolate high-probability micro-moves while filtering out trend exhaustion and late entries.
The goal is simple:
trade only when price is aligned, momentum is controlled, and the market is quiet enough to move cleanly.
Why This Mesh-Up Exists
Most scalping indicators fail because they:
Trade every EMA cross
Ignore market regime
Chase overextended RSI
Enter against VWAP
This script solves that by assigning one clear job to each component:
1️⃣ EMA Structure (Fast vs Slow)
Defines short-term directional bias
Triggers precise entry timing
Provides clean crossover signals (▲ / ▼)
EMAs answer: Which side should I be on right now?
2️⃣ RSI Control (Not Overbought / Oversold)
Prevents chasing extended moves
Filters entries when momentum is already spent
Keeps scalps inside continuation windows
RSI answers: Is there still fuel left for a scalp?
3️⃣ VWAP Bias (Institutional Fair Value)
Aligns trades with institutional positioning
Blocks longs below VWAP and shorts above VWAP (optional)
Greatly reduces counter-trend noise
VWAP answers: Am I trading with or against the real money?
4️⃣ ADX Regime Filter (Range Detection)
Allows entries only when ADX is below a threshold
Avoids high-ADX trend exhaustion and fake pullbacks
Highlights scalp-friendly compression zones
ADX answers: Is the market calm enough to scalp?
How to Use the Signals
🔺 EMA Bullish Crossover (Green Triangle Up)
Fast EMA crosses above Slow EMA
Early directional shift
Can be used as:
Standalone momentum trigger
Confirmation for pullback entries
🔻 EMA Bearish Crossover (Red Triangle Down)
Fast EMA crosses below Slow EMA
Early downside signal
Ideal for quick downside scalps or fades
🟢 Long Entry Signal (Larger Green Triangle)
Triggers only when ALL conditions align:
EMA bullish structure
RSI not overbought
ADX below threshold (range mode)
Price above VWAP (if enabled)
🔴 Short Entry Signal (Larger Red Triangle)
Triggers only when:
EMA bearish structure
RSI not oversold
ADX below threshold
Price below VWAP (if enabled)
These are high-quality scalp entries, not constant signals.
Best Market Conditions
✔ Choppy to mildly trending sessions
✔ Open, mid-day, power hour rotations
✔ Large-cap & mega-cap stocks
✔ Index futures (ES, NQ)
✔ VWAP-respecting instruments
🚫 Not designed for:
Strong trend days
News-driven momentum explosions
Illiquid small caps
Final Notes
This indicator is not a prediction tool.
It is a structure-and-regime alignment tool.
Use it to:
Reduce over-trading
Improve entry precision
Trade fewer, cleaner setups
Stay aligned with market context
Pair it with:
Strict risk management
Session awareness
Price action confirmation
PLOW/PLHW (Potential weekly highs/lows)AP Capital – PLOW / PLHW (Potential Weekly Low / High)

Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) Suite [QuantAlgo]🟢 Overview
The Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) Suite is a comprehensive toolkit that tracks the net difference between buying and selling pressure over time, helping traders identify significant accumulation/distribution patterns, spot divergences with price action, and confirm trend strength. By visualizing the running balance of volume flow, this indicator reveals underlying market sentiment that often precedes significant price movements.
🟢 How It Works
The indicator begins by determining the optimal timeframe for delta calculation. When auto-select is enabled, it automatically chooses a lower timeframe based on your chart period, e.g., using 1-second bars for minute charts, 5-second bars for 5-minute charts, and progressively larger intervals for higher timeframes. This granular approach captures volume flow dynamics that might be missed at the chart level.
Once the timeframe is established, the indicator calculates volume delta for each bar using directional classification:
getDelta() =>
close > open ? volume : close < open ? -volume : 0
When a bar closes higher than it opens (bullish candle), the entire volume is counted as positive delta representing buying pressure. Conversely, when a bar closes lower than its open (bearish candle), volume becomes negative delta representing selling pressure. This classification is applied to every bar in the selected lower timeframe, then aggregated upward to construct the delta for each chart bar:
array deltaValues = request.security_lower_tf(syminfo.tickerid, lowerTimeframe, getDelta())
float barDelta = 0.0
if array.size(deltaValues) > 0
for i = 0 to array.size(deltaValues) - 1
barDelta := barDelta + array.get(deltaValues, i)
This aggregation process sums all the individual delta values from the lower timeframe bars that comprise each chart bar, capturing the complete volume flow activity within that period. The resulting bar delta then feeds into the various display calculations:
rawCVD = ta.cum(barDelta) // Cumulative sum from chart start
smoothCVD = ta.sma(rawCVD, smoothingLength) // Smoothed for noise reduction
rollingCVD = math.sum(barDelta, rollingLength) // Rolling window calculation
Note: This directional bar approach differs from exchange-level orderflow CVD, which uses tick data to separate aggressive buy orders (executed at the ask price) from aggressive sell orders (executed at the bid price). While this method provides a volume flow approximation rather than pure tape-reading precision, it offers a practical and accessible way to analyze buying and selling dynamics across all timeframes and instruments without requiring specialized data feeds on TradingView.
🟢 Key Features
The indicator offers five distinct visualization modes, each designed to reveal different aspects of volume flow dynamics and cater to various trading strategies and market conditions.
1. Oscillator (Raw): Displays the true cumulative volume delta from the beginning of chart history, accompanied by an EMA signal line that helps identify trend direction and momentum shifts. When CVD crosses above the signal line, it indicates strengthening buying pressure; crosses below suggest increasing selling pressure. This mode is particularly valuable for spotting long-term accumulation/distribution phases and identifying divergences where CVD makes new highs/lows while price fails to confirm, often signaling potential reversals.
2. Oscillator (Smooth): Applies a simple moving average to the raw CVD to filter out noise while preserving the underlying trend structure, creating smoother signal line crossovers. Use this when trading trending instruments where you need confirmation of genuine volume-backed moves versus temporary volatility spikes.
3. Oscillator (Rolling): Calculates cumulative delta over only the most recent N bars (configurable window length), effectively resetting the baseline and removing the influence of distant historical data. This approach focuses exclusively on current market dynamics, making it highly responsive to recent shifts in volume pressure and particularly useful in markets that have undergone regime changes or structural shifts. This mode can be beneficial for traders when they want to analyze "what's happening now" without legacy bias from months or years of prior data affecting the readings.
4. Histogram: Renders the per-bar volume delta as individual histogram bars rather than cumulative values, showing the immediate buying or selling pressure that occurred during each specific candle. Positive (green) bars indicate that bar closed higher than it opened with buying volume, while negative (red) bars show selling volume dominance. This mode excels at identifying sudden volume surges, exhaustion points where large delta bars fail to move price, and bar-by-bar absorption patterns where one side is aggressively consuming the other's volume.
5. Candles: Transforms CVD data into OHLC candlestick format, where each candle's open represents the CVD at the start of the bar and subsequent intra-bar delta changes create the high, low, and close values. This visualization reveals the internal volume flow dynamics within each time period, showing whether buying or selling pressure dominated throughout the bar's formation and exposing intra-bar reversals or sustained directional pressure. Use candle wicks and bodies to identify volume acceptance/rejection at specific CVD levels, similar to how price candles show acceptance/rejection at price levels.
▶ Built-in Alert System: Comprehensive alerts for all display modes including bullish/bearish momentum shifts (CVD crossing signal line), buying/selling pressure detection (histogram mode), and bullish/bearish CVD candle formations. Fully customizable with exchange and timeframe placeholders.
▶ Visual Customization: Choose from 5 color presets (Classic, Aqua, Cosmic, Ember, Neon) or create your own custom color schemes. Optional price bar coloring feature overlays CVD trend colors directly onto your main chart candles, providing instant visual confirmation of volume flow and making divergences immediately apparent. Optional info label with configurable position and size displays current CVD values, data source timeframe, and mode at a glance.

Scalp Hunter [Scalping-Algo]═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🎯 SCALP HUNTER
Precision ATR Momentum System for Fast Timeframes
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
📌 OVERVIEW
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Scalp Hunter is a high-accuracy scalping indicator designed specifically for
low timeframe trading (3M, 4M, 5M). It combines ATR-based trailing stops with
multiple confirmation filters to deliver clean, actionable signals.
✅ No Repaint
✅ No Delay
✅ Confirmed Signals Only
✅ Multi-Filter Validation
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
⚙️ HOW IT WORKS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The indicator uses an ATR Trailing Stop as its core engine. When price crosses
the trail line, a potential signal is generated. But here's what makes it
accurate — signals must pass through 4 additional filters:
│
├─ 📊 PRICE ACTION FILTER
│ • Candle must close in signal direction
│ • Body size > 50% of full candle range
│ • Confirms strong momentum, not weak wicks
│
├─ 📈 VOLUME FILTER
│ • Volume must exceed 1.1x of 10-period average
│ • Filters out low-conviction moves
│ • Toggle on/off in settings
│
├─ 📉 EMA TREND FILTER
│ • Long signals: price must be above 21 EMA
│ • Short signals: price must be below 21 EMA
│ • Keeps you trading with the trend
│
└─ 🔥 MOMENTUM FILTER (RSI)
• RSI must confirm direction (>50 for longs, <50 for shorts)
• Avoids overbought/oversold extremes
• Fast 7-period RSI tuned for scalping
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🎨 VISUAL GUIDE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🟢 GREEN TRIANGLE (▲) = Long Entry Signal
🔴 RED TRIANGLE (▼) = Short Entry Signal
━━ GREEN LINE = Bullish Trail Stop (support)
━━ RED LINE = Bearish Trail Stop (resistance)
🟢 GREEN BARS = Bullish Trend Active
🔴 RED BARS = Bearish Trend Active
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
📖 HOW TO USE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
STEP 1: Add to Chart
• Apply indicator to 3M, 4M, or 5M chart
• Works on any liquid market (crypto, forex, stocks, futures)
STEP 2: Wait for Signal
• 🟢 Triangle appears below bar = LONG opportunity
• 🔴 Triangle appears above bar = SHORT opportunity
• Signal fires at bar OPEN (no repaint, you can act immediately)
STEP 3: Entry
• Enter at market or use limit order near signal bar close
• Trail stop line shows your initial stop level
STEP 4: Stop Loss
• Place stop just beyond the trail line
• Long: stop below green trail line
• Short: stop above red trail line
STEP 5: Take Profit
• Option A: Fixed R:R (1:1.5 or 1:2 recommended)
• Option B: Trail your stop using the indicator line
• Option C: Exit when opposite signal appears
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

⚠️ RISK DISCLAIMER
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Trading involves substantial risk. This indicator is a tool, not financial
advice. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Always:
• Use proper position sizing
• Set stop losses on every trade
• Never risk more than you can afford to lose
• Backtest before live trading
• Combine with your own analysis
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
💡 TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
✦ Trade during high-volume sessions (London/NY open)
✦ Avoid signals during major news releases
✦ Confirm with higher timeframe trend
✦ Best results on liquid pairs/assets
✦ Keep all filters ON for highest accuracy
✦ Turn off filters only if you need more signals
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
📊 WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Most ATR trailing indicators give too many signals. Scalp Hunter is different:
❌ Other indicators: Signal on every trail cross
✅ Scalp Hunter: Signal only when 5 conditions align
This means fewer trades, but higher probability setups.

Direction Bias [ Scalping-Algo ]======================================================================
// 📊 Direction Bias
// ======================================================================
//
// 🎯 What this indicator does:
// This indicator colors your candles based on the current market bias.
// 🟢 Green bars = bullish momentum
// 🔴 Red bars = bearish momentum
// ⚪ Gray bars = choppy or undecided market
//
// ⚙️ How it works:
// It uses a range filter that adapts to volatility. When price pushes
// above the filter and keeps moving up, you get green bars. When price
// drops below and continues down, you get red bars. The filter smooths
// out the noise so you don't get whipsawed on every little move.
//
// 📈 How to trade with it:
//
// 1️⃣ Follow the color
// 🟢 Green bars = look for longs only
// 🔴 Red bars = look for shorts only
// ⚪ Gray bars = stay out or reduce size
//
// 2️⃣ Entry timing
// ✅ Wait for color change from gray to green/red
// ✅ Enter on pullbacks while color stays the same
// ❌ Don't chase if you're late to the move
//
// 3️⃣ Exit signals
// 💡 When bars turn gray, tighten your stop or take profits
// 🔄 Color flip to opposite = close the trade
//

PREMIUM TRADE ZONES - [EntryLab]PREMIUM Trade Zones was created to help both beginner and advanced traders avoid one of the most common causes of losses: trading during sideways, choppy market conditions.
Sideways price action often occurs around the RSI 50 level, where market indecision is high. This indicator visually highlights a No Trade Zone around that area, encouraging traders to stay patient and avoid low-probability setups. Above and below this zone, clearly defined Short Trade Zones and Long Trade Zones provide additional confluence for potential entries when momentum is more favorable.
Trade Zones is especially useful for traders who may occasionally struggle with discipline — something we all experience — by offering a constant visual reminder of where trading conditions are optimal versus where caution is warranted.
The indicator is fully customizable through the settings panel, allowing users to adjust zone levels, colors, text visibility, and signal elements to suit their individual trading style and strategy. We personally use Trade Zones as an added layer of confluence when market conditions feel uncertain, consistently steering clear of the No Trade Zone where indecision and chop are most likely to occur.
This free indicator was built to support our community in developing better trading habits, improving decision-making, and progressing toward long-term consistency and profitability.

RSI & BB Oversold Scalper with MACD Confirmation [DotGain]RSI & BB Oversold Scalper with MACD Confirmation
The RSI & BB Oversold Scalper is a mean reversion / dip-buying indicator designed for traders who want to combine oversold conditions with momentum confirmation .
It uses a multi-step logic: first detect an oversold setup, then wait for a MACD confirmation within a defined time window before issuing a buy signal.
---
Core Concept
1. Detect an oversold setup using Bollinger Bands %b, RSI and an optional DSS filter
2. Keep the setup active for a limited number of candles
3. Trigger the entry using a MACD bullish crossover
4. Reset after entry to avoid multiple signals from the same setup
---
Buy Signal Logic
A buy signal is generated when the following conditions are met:
1. Oversold Setup (filters can be enabled/disabled individually)
• Bollinger Bands %b Oversold (Lookback-based)
The price has traded below the lower Bollinger Band at least once within the last `lookbackBB` candles.
• RSI Oversold (Lookback-based)
The RSI has dropped below 30 at least once within the last `lookbackRSI` candles.
• DSS (Double Smoothed Stochastic) Reversal Filter
A bullish crossover of the DSS line above its signal line while the DSS value is below 20 , indicating a potential momentum reversal from oversold conditions.
Note:
BB %b and RSI are lookback filters , while the DSS condition is a single-bar crossover event .
---
2. MACD Confirmation (Entry Timing)
After the setup becomes active, the indicator waits for a bullish MACD crossover (`MACD line crosses above Signal line`) within a user-defined time window (`validWindow` candles).
If the MACD confirmation occurs within this window, a buy signal is printed.
If the window expires without confirmation, the setup is discarded automatically.
---
Reset Logic
• After a buy signal, the setup is reset immediately
• Only one signal is allowed per setup
• No late entries after the time window expires
---
Inputs & Customization
• Enable or disable BB, RSI and DSS filters individually
• Adjust lookback periods to control how recent oversold conditions must be
• Tune the MACD confirmation window to balance early vs. conservative entries
Smaller windows = faster, more aggressive entries
Larger windows = fewer but more confirmed signals
Recommended Markets & Timeframes
• Cryptocurrencies, Forex, Indices, liquid stocks
• Best suited for 1m – 15m scalping
• Also usable on 15m – 1h for slower mean-reversion trades
Visuals
• Buy signals are displayed as labels below the price candles
Important Notes
• This indicator is a signal and timing tool , not a complete trading system
• Always combine with higher-timeframe trend, support/resistance or volume analysis
• Backtesting and paper trading are strongly recommended

Smart Reversal [Scalping-Algo]════════════════════════════════════════════
Smart Reversal
This indicator identifies potential reversal points using a two-step confirmation method that I developed for my own scalping. Unlike typical reversal indicators that rely on RSI oversold/overbought or simple candlestick patterns, this uses a different approach.
🔹 HOW IT WORKS
The logic is based on two phases:
Phase 1 - Anchor Detection:
The indicator looks for candles where price closes beyond ALL previous candles in the lookback period. For a bullish setup, the close must be below the lows of the last N candles (default 20). This isn't just a "lower low" - it's an extreme extension where price has broken below every single candle in the range. I also require this candle to have above-average volume (2x the 20-period average) to confirm real selling pressure, not just a gap or low-liquidity move.
Phase 2 - Confirmation:
After an anchor forms, I wait for price to reverse and close above the anchor candle's high (for buys) or below the anchor's low (for sells). This must happen within 3 bars. If price makes a new extreme instead, the setup cancels.
🔹 SIGNAL QUALITY SCORING
Each signal gets a score from 3/5 to 5/5:
- 3/5: Basic confirmation occurred
- 4/5: Anchor or confirmation had strong volume
- 5/5: Both volume conditions met + aligned with 200 EMA trend
I focus on 4/5 and 5/5 signals personally.
🔹 WHAT YOU SEE ON CHART
- Green/Red boxes: Active setup waiting for confirmation
- B or S labels: Confirmed signals with quality score
- Dashboard: Shows current status and volume condition
🔹 SETTINGS
- Bars to Check: How many candles for the breakout comparison (default 20)
- Confirmation Window: Bars allowed after anchor for confirmation (default 3)
- Volume thresholds: Adjustable multipliers for anchor (2x) and confirmation (1.2x)
🔹 SUGGESTED USE
- Works on any timeframe, but I use it mainly on 5-15 min charts
- Better results when combined with key support/resistance levels
- Avoid trading during high-impact news

APC HIRO Proxy Flow PressureAP Capital – HIRO Proxy (Flow Pressure)
AP Capital – HIRO Proxy is a price- and volume-based flow pressure oscillator designed to approximate institutional hedging / directional pressure using only native chart data.
⚠️ This is a proxy model. It does not use options-market data or real SpotGamma HIRO feeds.
🔍 What this indicator does
The indicator measures directional efficiency × volume pressure on every bar, accumulates it intraday, and then normalizes the result using a Z-score so it adapts cleanly across symbols and timeframes.
The output is displayed as candle-style pressure bars, making momentum shifts and pressure flips visually obvious.
🧠 Core Logic
Directional Efficiency
Measures how effectively price closes within its candle range
Strong closes near highs/lows increase pressure
Volume Weighting
Pressure is weighted by volume (optionally logarithmic)
Prevents single spikes from distorting the signal
Cumulative Flow
Pressure accumulates bar-by-bar
Optional daily reset for intraday trading
Z-Score Normalization
Normalizes pressure relative to recent history
Allows consistent thresholds across assets
📊 How to read the indicator
Green candles above zero
→ Net bullish pressure (buyers in control)
Red candles below zero
→ Net bearish pressure (sellers in control)
Zero line
→ Neutral balance / transition zone
±1 / ±2 Z-Bands
→ Elevated or extreme pressure conditions
Triangle signals
▲ Up Pressure → Z-score crosses above positive threshold
▼ Down Pressure → Z-score crosses below negative threshold

15-Minute Squeeze Scalper (Traffic Light Edition)Overview This is a highly optimized version of the famous Squeeze Momentum Indicator, customized specifically for 15-minute scalping .
While the original indicator is powerful, the default colors can be confusing for new traders. I have recoded this to function as a simple "Traffic Light" system to help you identify periods of inaction vs. periods of high-probability breakouts.
How it Works This tool identifies when the market is "quiet" (low volatility) and getting ready to explode. It uses Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels to measure this energy.
The "Traffic Light" Visuals
🔴 RED Cross (Center Line): STOP / WAIT
Meaning: The Squeeze is ON. The market is coiling tight.
Action: Do not trade yet. Wait for the energy to release. The longer the line of red dots, the bigger the potential move.
🟢 GREEN Cross (Center Line): GO / ACTION
Meaning: The Squeeze has FIRED. Volatility is expanding.
Action: Look at the Histogram to determine the direction of the trade.
📊 Histogram Bars:
Lime/Green: Bullish Momentum (Trade Long).
Red/Maroon: Bearish Momentum (Trade Short).
The 15-Minute Scalping Strategy
Identify the Squeeze: Look for a series of Red Crosses on the zero line.
Wait for the Fire: Wait for the first Green Cross to appear.
Confirm Direction:
If the Cross turns Green AND the Histogram is above zero: LONG.
If the Cross turns Green AND the Histogram is below zero: SHORT.
Alerts Included I have added custom alerts so you don't have to stare at the screen:
"Squeeze Fired": Alerts you instantly when the Red Cross changes to Green.
"Momentum Long/Short": Alerts you when momentum flips direction.
Volume-Weighted Price Z-Score [QuantAlgo]🟢 Overview
The Volume-Weighted Price Z-Score indicator quantifies price deviations from volume-weighted equilibrium using statistical standardization. It combines volume-weighted moving average analysis with logarithmic deviation measurement and volatility normalization to identify when prices have moved to statistically extreme levels relative to their volume-weighted baseline, helping traders and investors spot potential mean reversion opportunities across multiple timeframes and asset classes.
🟢 How It Works
The indicator's core methodology lies in its volume-weighted statistical approach, where price displacement is measured through normalized deviations from volume-weighted price levels:
volumeWeightedAverage = ta.vwma(priceSource, lookbackPeriod)
logDeviation = math.log(priceSource / volumeWeightedAverage)
volatilityMeasure = ta.stdev(logDeviation, lookbackPeriod)
The script uses logarithmic transformation to capture proportional price changes rather than absolute differences, ensuring equal treatment of percentage moves regardless of price level:
rawZScore = logDeviation / volatilityMeasure
zScore = ta.ema(rawZScore, smoothingPeriod)
First, it establishes the volume-weighted baseline which gives greater weight to price levels where significant trading occurred, creating a more representative equilibrium point than simple moving averages.
Then, the logarithmic deviation measurement converts the price-to-average ratio into a normalized scale:
logDeviation = math.log(priceSource / volumeWeightedAverage)
Next, statistical normalization is achieved by dividing the deviation by its own historical volatility, creating a standardized z-score that measures how many standard deviations the current price sits from the volume-weighted mean.
Finally, EMA smoothing filters noise while preserving the signal's responsiveness to genuine market extremes:
rawZScore = logDeviation / volatilityMeasure
zScore = ta.ema(rawZScore, smoothingPeriod)
This creates a volume-anchored statistical oscillator that combines price-volume relationship analysis with volatility-adjusted normalization, providing traders with probabilistic insights into market extremes and mean reversion potential based on standard deviation thresholds.
🟢 Signal Interpretation
▶ Positive Values (Above Zero): Price trading above volume-weighted average indicating potential overvaluation relative to volume-weighted equilibrium = Caution on longs, potential mean reversion downward = Short/sell opportunities
▶ Negative Values (Below Zero): Price trading below volume-weighted average indicating potential undervaluation relative to volume-weighted equilibrium = Caution on shorts, potential mean reversion upward = Long/buy opportunities
▶ Zero Line Crosses: Mean reversion transitions where price crosses back through volume-weighted equilibrium, indicating shift from overvalued to undervalued (or vice versa) territory
▶ Extreme Positive Zone (Above +2.5σ default): Statistically rare overvaluation representing 98.8%+ confidence level deviation, indicating extremely stretched bullish conditions with high mean reversion probability = Strong correction warning/short signal
▶ Extreme Negative Zone (Below -2.5σ default): Statistically rare undervaluation representing 98.8%+ confidence level deviation, indicating extremely stretched bearish conditions with high mean reversion probability = Strong buying opportunity signal
▶ ±1σ Reference Levels: Moderate deviation zones (±1 standard deviation) marking common price fluctuation boundaries where approximately 68% of price action occurs under normal distribution
▶ ±2σ Reference Levels: Significant deviation zones (±2 standard deviations) marking unusual price extremes where approximately 95% of price action should be contained under normal conditions
🟢 Features
▶ Preconfigured Presets: Three optimized parameter sets accommodate different analytical approaches, instruments and timeframes. "Default" provides balanced statistical measurement suitable for swing trading and daily/4-hour analysis, offering deviation detection with moderate responsiveness to price dislocations. "Fast Response" delivers heightened sensitivity optimized for intraday trading and scalping on 15-minute to 1-hour charts, using shorter statistical windows and minimal smoothing to capture rapid mean reversion opportunities as they develop. "Smooth Trend" offers conservative extreme identification ideal for position trading on daily to weekly charts, employing extended statistical periods and heavy noise filtering to isolate only the most significant market extremes.
▶ Built-in Alerts: Seven alert conditions enable comprehensive automated monitoring of statistical extremes and mean reversion events. Extreme Overbought triggers when z-score crosses above the extreme threshold (default +2.5σ) signaling rare overvaluation, Extreme Oversold activates when z-score crosses below the negative extreme threshold (default -2.5σ) signaling rare undervaluation. Exit Extreme Overbought and Exit Extreme Oversold alert when prices begin reverting from these statistical extremes back toward the mean. Bullish Mean Reversion notifies when z-score crosses above zero indicating shift to overvalued territory, while Bearish Mean Reversion triggers on crosses below zero indicating shift to undervalued territory. Any Extreme Level provides a combined alert for any extreme threshold breach regardless of direction. These notifications allow you to capitalize on statistically significant price dislocations without continuous chart monitoring.
▶ Color Customization: Six visual themes (Classic, Aqua, Cosmic, Ember, Neon, plus Custom) accommodate different chart backgrounds and visual preferences, ensuring optimal contrast for identifying positive versus negative deviations across trading environments. The adjustable fill transparency control (0-100%) allows fine-tuning of the gradient area prominence between the z-score line and zero baseline, with higher opacity values creating subtle background context while lower values produce bold deviation emphasis. Optional bar coloring extends the z-score gradient directly to the indicator pane bars, providing immediate visual reinforcement of current deviation magnitude and direction without requiring reference to the plotted line itself.
*Note: This indicator requires volume data to function correctly, as it calculates deviations from a volume-weighted price average. Tickers with no volume data or extremely limited volume will not produce meaningful results, i.e., the indicator may display flat lines, erratic values, or fail to calculate properly. Using this indicator on assets without volume data (certain forex pairs, synthetic indices, or instruments with unreported/unavailable volume) will produce unreliable or no results at all. Additionally, ensure your chart has sufficient historical data to cover the selected lookback period, e.g., using a 100-bar lookback on a chart with only 50 bars of history will yield incomplete or inaccurate calculations. Always verify your chosen ticker has consistent, accurate volume information and adequate price history before applying this indicator.
Institutional Zone Detector [Scalping-Algo]█ OVERVIEW
The Institutional Zone Detector identifies key supply and demand zones where large market participants (institutions, banks, hedge funds) have likely placed significant orders. These zones often act as powerful support and resistance levels, making them strategic areas for trade entries and exits.
This indicator is non-repainting, meaning once a signal appears on your chart, it will never disappear or change position. What you see in backtesting is exactly what you would have seen in real-time.
█ CORE CONCEPT
Markets move when large players execute substantial orders. These orders leave footprints in the form of specific candlestick patterns:
Demand Zones (Bullish)
When institutions accumulate positions, we often see a bearish candle followed by a strong bullish sequence. The last bearish candle before this move marks the demand zone - an area where buying pressure overwhelmed sellers.
Supply Zones (Bearish)
When institutions distribute positions, we typically see a bullish candle followed by a strong bearish sequence. The last bullish candle before this move marks the supply zone - an area where selling pressure overwhelmed buyers.
Price has a tendency to revisit these zones, offering potential trade opportunities.
█ HOW IT WORKS
The indicator scans for:
1. A potential zone candle (bearish for demand, bullish for supply)
2. A sequence of consecutive candles in the opposite direction
3. Optional: A minimum percentage move to filter weak signals
When all conditions are met, the zone is marked on your chart with:
• Upper and lower boundaries (solid lines)
• Equilibrium/midpoint level (cross marker)
• Extended channel lines for easy visualization
█ SETTINGS
Consecutive Candles Required (Default: 5)
Number of same-direction candles needed after the zone candle to confirm the pattern. Higher values = fewer but stronger signals.
Minimum Move Threshold % (Default: 0.0)
Minimum percentage price movement required to validate a zone. Increase this to filter out weak moves and focus on significant institutional activity.
Display Full Candle Range (Default: Off)
• Off: Shows Open-to-Low for demand zones, Open-to-High for supply zones
• On: Shows complete High-to-Low range of the zone candle
Show Demand/Supply Zone Channel (Default: On)
Toggle extended horizontal lines that project the zone levels across your chart.
Visual Theme (Default: Dark)
Choose between Dark (white/blue) or Light (green/red) color schemes.
Show Statistics Panel (Default: Off)
Displays a floating panel with exact price levels of the most recent zones.
Display Info Tooltip (Default: Off)
Shows an information label with indicator documentation.
█ HOW TO USE
Entry Strategies
1. Zone Bounce (Mean Reversion)
• Wait for price to return to a previously identified zone
• Look for rejection candles (pin bars, engulfing patterns) at zone levels
• Enter in the direction of the original zone (long at demand, short at supply)
• Place stops beyond the zone boundary
2. Zone Break (Momentum)
• When price breaks through a zone with strong momentum
• The broken zone often becomes the opposite type (broken demand becomes supply)
• Use for trend continuation trades
3. Equilibrium Trades
• The midpoint (cross marker) often acts as a magnet for price
• Can be used as a first target or as an entry point for scaled positions
Risk Management
• Always place stop-loss orders beyond zone boundaries
• Consider the zone width when calculating position size
• Wider zones = wider stops = smaller position size
• Use the equilibrium level for partial profit taking
Best Practices
• Higher timeframes produce more reliable zones
• Zones on multiple timeframes (confluence) are stronger
• Fresh/untested zones are more powerful than zones that have been touched multiple times
• Combine with other analysis methods (trend direction, volume, market structure)
█ ALERTS
Two alert conditions are available:
• "Demand Zone Identified" - Triggers when a new demand zone is detected
• "Supply Zone Identified" - Triggers when a new supply zone is detected
To set up alerts: Click on the indicator name → Add Alert → Select condition
█ IMPORTANT NOTES
• This indicator is a tool for analysis, not a complete trading system
• Signals are NOT automatic buy/sell recommendations
• Always use proper risk management
• Past performance does not guarantee future results
• Works on all markets and timeframes
• Non-repainting: Signals appear only after bar close confirmation
█ ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Inspired by institutional order flow concepts and smart money trading methodologies. Built with a focus on reliability and practical application.
Golden Vector Trend Orchestrator (GVTO)Golden Vector Trend Orchestrator (GVTO) is a composite trend-following strategy specifically engineered for XAUUSD (Gold) and volatile assets on H4 (4-Hour) and Daily timeframes.
This script aims to solve a common problem in trend trading: "Whipsaws in Sideways Markets." Instead of relying on a single indicator, GVTO employs a Multi-Factor Confluence System that filters out low-probability trades by requiring alignment across Trend Structure, Momentum, and Volatility.
🛠 Methodology & Logic
The strategy executes trades only when four distinct technical conditions overlap (Confluence). If any single condition is not met, the trade is filtered out to preserve capital.
1. Market Structure Filter (200 EMA)
Indicator: Exponential Moving Average (Length 200).
Logic: The 200 EMA acts as the baseline for the long-term trend regime.
Bullish Regime: Price must close above the 200 EMA.
Bearish Regime: Price must close below the 200 EMA.
Purpose: Prevents counter-trend trading against the macro direction.
2. Signal Trigger & Trailing Stop (Supertrend)
Indicator: Supertrend (ATR Length 14, Factor 3.5).
Logic: Uses Average True Range (ATR) to detect trend reversals while accounting for volatility.
Purpose: Provides the specific entry signal and acts as a dynamic trailing stop-loss to let profits run while cutting losses when the trend invalidates.
3. Volatility Gatekeeper (ADX Filter)
Indicator: Average Directional Index (Length 14).
Threshold: > 25.
Logic: A high ADX value indicates a strong trend presence, regardless of direction.
Purpose: This is the most critical filter. It prevents the strategy from entering trades during "choppy" or ranging markets (consolidation zones) where trend-following systems typically fail.
4. Momentum Confirmation (DMI)
Indicator: Directional Movement Index (DI+ and DI-).
Logic: Checks if the buying pressure (DI+) is physically stronger than selling pressure (DI-), or vice versa.
Purpose: Ensures that the price movement is backed by genuine momentum, not just a momentary price spike.
📋 How to Use This Strategy
🟢 LONG (BUY) Setup
A Buy signal is generated only when ALL of the following occur simultaneously:
Price Action: Price closes ABOVE the 200 EMA (Orange Line).
Trigger: Supertrend flips to GREEN (Bullish).
Strength: ADX is greater than 25 (Strong Trend).
Momentum: DI+ (Plus Directional Indicator) is greater than DI- (Minus).
🔴 SHORT (SELL) Setup
A Sell signal is generated only when ALL of the following occur simultaneously:
Price Action: Price closes BELOW the 200 EMA (Orange Line).
Trigger: Supertrend flips to RED (Bearish).
Strength: ADX is greater than 25 (Strong Trend).
Momentum: DI- (Minus Directional Indicator) is greater than DI+ (Plus).
🛡 Exit Strategy
Stop Loss / Take Profit: The strategy utilizes the Supertrend Line as a dynamic Trailing Stop.
Exit Long: When Supertrend turns Red.
Exit Short: When Supertrend turns Green.
Note: Traders can also use the real-time P/L Dashboard included in the script to manually secure profits based on their personal Risk:Reward ratio.
📊 Included Features
Real-Time P/L Dashboard: A table in the top-right corner displays the current trend status, ADX strength, and the Unrealized Profit/Loss % of the current active position.
Smart Labeling: Buy/Sell labels are coded to appear only on the initial entry trigger. They do not repaint and do not spam the chart if the trend continues (no pyramiding visualization).
Visual Aids: Background color changes (Green/Red) to visually represent the active trend based on the Supertrend status.
⚠️ Risk Warning & Best Practices
Asset Class: Optimized for XAUUSD (Gold) due to its high volatility nature. It also works well on Crypto (BTC, ETH) and Major Forex Pairs.
Timeframe: Highly recommended for H4 (4 Hours) or D1 (Daily). Using this on lower timeframes (M5, M15) may result in false signals due to market noise.
News Events: Automated strategies cannot predict economic news (CPI, NFP). Exercise caution or pause trading during high-impact economic releases.
Volume Anomaly Reversal DetectionVolume Anomaly Reversal Detection (VARD System)
🎯 What This Indicator Does
This indicator identifies potential trend reversals by detecting abnormal volume activity that often precedes significant price movements. It combines volume anomaly detection with dynamic trend analysis to generate actionable BUY/SELL signals.
📊 Core Concept & Methodology
Volume Anomaly Detection
The indicator analyzes directional volume (buying vs selling pressure) from a lower timeframe and calculates Z-scores to identify statistically significant volume spikes.
Z-Score Formula:
Z = (Current Volume - Average Volume) / Standard Deviation
When volume exceeds the threshold (default: 3 standard deviations above mean), it signals unusual market activity - often caused by forced liquidations or capitulation.
Dynamic Trend Filter
A custom trend-following algorithm based on ATR (Average True Range) bands determines the current market direction:
Price above lower band = Uptrend
Price below upper band = Downtrend
Signal Logic
Volume anomaly detected during an existing trend
Trend reversal confirmed within the confirmation window
Signal generated = BUY or SELL label appears

LTF Distribution Analyzer█ OVERVIEW
LTF Distribution Analyzer reveals the hidden price distribution and order flow within each candle by sampling lower timeframe data. It visualizes where prices concentrated, how volume was distributed between buyers and sellers, and identifies divergences between price action and actual market participation.
Unlike traditional candlesticks showing only OHLC, this indicator exposes the statistical structure of price movement using quartile-based visualization combined with delta analysis.
█ CONCEPTS
The indicator is built on two core concepts:
1 — Statistical Price Distribution
Each candle contains many lower timeframe bars. By analyzing these bars, we calculate:
• Q1 (25th percentile) - 25% of prices traded below this level
• Q3 (75th percentile) - 75% of prices traded below this level
• Median - The middle price value
• IQR (Interquartile Range) - The Q3-Q1 spread containing 50% of all prices
2 — Volume Delta Analysis
Delta measures buying vs selling pressure:
• Delta = Buy Volume − Sell Volume
• Positive delta = More aggressive buying
• Negative delta = More aggressive selling
• Delta Ratio normalizes this as a percentage
█ HOW IT WORKS
The indicator fetches lower timeframe data using request.security_lower_tf() and processes it to create a statistical summary:
Step 1: Timeframe Calculation
• Auto mode: Chart timeframe ÷ Auto Divisor = LTF
• Example: 1H chart ÷ 1000 = ~3.6 second sampling
• Manual mode: User-specified timeframe
Step 2: Data Collection
• Collects all close prices from LTF bars within current candle
• Aggregates volume by candle direction (bullish/bearish)
Step 3: Statistical Analysis
• Calculates quartiles (Q1, Q3), median, and boundaries
• Identifies outliers using 1.5× and 3× IQR fences
• Finds Volume POC (price with highest volume)
Step 4: Delta Calculation
• Sums buy volume (from bullish LTF bars)
• Sums sell volume (from bearish LTF bars)
• Computes delta ratio for color determination

█ COLOR SYSTEM
Colors indicate the relationship between candle direction and order flow:
🟢 TEAL (Positive Flow)
Bullish candle + Positive delta
→ Strong buying confirmation
→ Trend continuation signal
🔴 RED (Negative Flow)
Bearish candle + Negative delta
→ Strong selling confirmation
→ Trend continuation signal
🟠 ORANGE (Mixed Signal A)
Bullish candle + Negative delta
→ Price up but sellers dominated
→ Potential weakness/reversal warning
🔵 BLUE (Mixed Signal B)
Bearish candle + Positive delta
→ Price down but buyers dominated
→ Potential accumulation/reversal signal

█ HOW TO USE
1. Divergence Detection
Look for color mismatches:
• Orange bars in uptrend = weakness, potential reversal
• Blue bars in downtrend = strength, potential reversal
• Multiple consecutive divergent bars strengthen signal
• Wait for confirmation before entry
2. Volume POC Trading
• POC marks where most volume traded
• POC clusters at similar levels = strong S/R zone
• Price often returns to POC before continuing
• Use POC for entry/exit targeting
3. Trend Confirmation
• Consecutive teal = strong uptrend
• Consecutive red = strong downtrend
• Median position shows intrabar momentum
• Wide boxes indicate high volatility
4. Outlier Analysis
• Extreme markers (▲▼) often mark stop hunts
• Consider fading extremes at key levels
• Mild markers (△▽) = areas to watch
█ RECOMMENDED SETTINGS
For different chart timeframes:
│ Chart TF │ Auto Divisor │ Resulting LTF │
├──────────┼──────────────┼───────────────┤
│ 15M │ 1500 │ ~1M │
│ 1H │ 1000 │ ~3-4s │
│ 4H │ 600 │ ~24s │
│ Daily │ 500 │ ~2-3M │
Tip: Check the TF badge to confirm active sampling timeframe.
█ BEST PRACTICES
Do:
✓ Use "Bars" chart style for cleanest display
✓ Combine with support/resistance analysis
✓ Wait for confirmation bars
✓ Note POC clusters across multiple bars
✓ Adjust divisor based on your timeframe
Avoid:
✗ Trading single bar signals alone
✗ Using during low volume periods
✗ Trading immediately after news releases
✗ Ignoring overall market context
█ LIMITATIONS
• Requires adequate market liquidity for reliable signals
• Sub-minute timeframes need Premium subscription
• Historical data depth depends on TradingView's data availability
• Delta calculation assumes volume direction matches candle direction
█ NOTES
This indicator works best on liquid markets (forex majors, major indices, popular stocks/crypto) where volume data is meaningful.
The gray dotted vertical line marks where LTF data becomes available - bars before this line won't display the indicator.

Triple EMA + Key Levels [Scalping-Algo]TITLE: Triple EMA Day Trading System with Multi-Timeframe Support/Resistance Levels
DESCRIPTION:
📊 Overview
This indicator combines trend-following EMAs with key historical price levels to create a complete day trading toolkit. It helps traders identify trend direction while highlighting important support and resistance zones from multiple timeframes.
🎯 Purpose & Trading Application
Day traders often need to quickly assess:
1. Current trend direction (using EMAs)
2. Key price levels where reversals or breakouts may occur
This indicator solves both needs in one tool, reducing chart clutter from multiple indicators.
📈 How It Works
TREND IDENTIFICATION (EMAs):
- EMA 13 (Yellow): Fast EMA for short-term momentum and entry timing
- EMA 48 (Purple): Medium EMA for intraday trend direction
- EMA 200 (Red): Slow EMA for overall trend bias
Trading Logic:
- When price is above all 3 EMAs = Strong bullish bias
- When price is below all 3 EMAs = Strong bearish bias
- EMA crossovers signal potential trend changes
- The 13/48 crossover is particularly useful for intraday entries
SUPPORT & RESISTANCE LEVELS:
- Previous Day High/Low (Green, Solid): Most recent daily range - high probability reaction zones
- 2-Day High/Low (Blue, Dashed): Extended lookback for stronger levels
- Previous Week High/Low (Orange, Dotted): Major institutional levels
Why These Levels Matter:
Previous day and weekly highs/lows are watched by many traders and algorithms. Price often:
- Reverses at these levels (support/resistance)
- Accelerates through them (breakout trades)
🔧 How To Use
FOR TREND TRADING:
1. Identify bias using EMA stack (all 3 aligned = strong trend)
2. Look for pullbacks to EMA 13 or 48 for entries
3. Use key levels as profit targets
FOR REVERSAL TRADING:
1. Watch for price approaching previous day/week levels
2. Look for rejection candles at these levels
3. Use EMA 13 break as confirmation
FOR BREAKOUT TRADING:
1. Identify consolidation near key levels
2. Enter on break of level with volume
3. Use opposite level as target
⚙️ Settings
All parameters are fixed for simplicity:
- EMAs: 13, 48, 200 periods
- Levels: Previous Day, 2-Day, Previous Week
- All lines thickness: 2
📝 Notes
- Best used on intraday timeframes (1min to 1hour)
- Levels update automatically each day/week
- Labels on right side identify each level (PDH, PDL, 2DH, 2DL, PWH, PWL)

Liquidity Sweep Sniper AP StyleAP Capital – Liquidity Sweep Sniper (Fab-Style)
📌 Overview
This indicator is a precision scalping tool inspired by professional liquidity-based trading concepts often demonstrated by elite intraday scalpers.
The script focuses on liquidity sweeps followed by strong displacement, aiming to capture short, high-probability momentum moves — particularly effective on lower timeframes (1–5 min) during active market sessions.
It is not a signal spam tool. Signals appear only when multiple objective conditions align.
🧠 Core Concept
Markets do not move randomly — they seek liquidity before expanding.
This indicator identifies:
Buy-side / Sell-side liquidity
Liquidity sweeps (stop-hunts)
Strong displacement candles reclaiming price
Optional higher-timeframe trend alignment
Only when all conditions are met does a signal print.
🔍 What the Indicator Detects
1️⃣ Liquidity Pools
Equal highs or equal lows detected within a configurable lookback
Minimum number of touches required
ATR-based tolerance to adapt to volatility
These levels represent areas where stop orders are likely resting.
2️⃣ Liquidity Sweep
A valid sweep requires:
Price to wick beyond the liquidity level
Candle to close back inside the range
This indicates failed breakout / stop-hunt behaviour.
3️⃣ Displacement Confirmation
After the sweep, the candle must show:
Strong body (default >60% of candle range)
Candle range large relative to ATR
Clear directional intent (momentum)
This filters out weak reactions and chop.
4️⃣ Optional Trend Filter
EMA-based higher-timeframe bias
Helps align scalps with dominant direction
Can be enabled or disabled
📈 Signals
BUY: Sell-side liquidity sweep → bullish displacement
SELL: Buy-side liquidity sweep → bearish displacement
Signals are plotted directly on the chart and can be used with alerts.
⚙️ Recommended Usage
Markets: XAUUSD, indices, liquid FX pairs
Timeframes: 1m–5m
Sessions: London & New York (best performance)
Risk Management: Always required — this tool does not place trades
Best used as a confirmation tool, not standalone.
⚠️ Important Notes
This indicator is inspired by liquidity-based scalping concepts, not an exact replication of any individual trader’s private strategy.
No indicator predicts the future — this tool highlights high-probability scenarios, not guarantees.
Past performance is not indicative of future results.
