AutoPilot | FractalystWhat’s the purpose of this indicator?
The AutoPilot indicator automates the management of your active trades by:
Breaks Even: Moves the stop-loss to the entry price once the trade reaches a 1:1 risk-reward ratio.
Closes Trades: Automatically exits trades when trailing stop-losses are triggered.
This automation is facilitated through PineConnector and TradingView webhook integration, allowing traders to manage multiple positions across various markets effortlessly without any manual intervention.
----
How does this indicator trail stop-loss using market structure?
The AutoPilot indicator utilizes an advanced market structure trailing stop-loss mechanism to manage trades based on market dynamics and probabilities.
Here's how it works:
Market Structure Identification: The indicator first identifies key market structures such as higher highs, lower lows.
These structures are pivotal points where the market has shown a change in direction or momentum.
Probability-Based Trailing: Once a trade is active, the stop-loss isn't just set at a fixed distance or percentage but is dynamically adjusted based on the probability of the market structure holding or breaking.
This involves:
Trend Continuation Probability: If the market structure suggests a strong trend continuation (e.g., a series of higher highs in an uptrend), the stop-loss might trail closer to the price, but with a buffer calculated by the probability of the trend continuing versus reversing.
Reversal Probability: Conversely, if there's a high probability of a trend reversal based on recent market structures (like a significant lower high in an uptrend), the stop-loss might be adjusted to a point where the market structure would need to break to confirm the reversal, thus protecting potential profits or minimizing losses.
Dynamic Adjustment: The trailing stop-loss adjusts in real-time as new market structures form. For instance, if a new higher high is formed in an uptrend, the stop-loss might move up but not necessarily to the exact previous swing low. Instead, it's placed at a level where the probability of the next swing low not breaking this level is high, based on historical price action.
Risk Management: By using market structure and probabilities, the indicator aims to balance between giving the trade room to breathe (allowing for normal market fluctuations) and tightening the stop-loss when the market behavior suggests a potential trend change or continuation with high confidence.
This approach ensures that the stop-loss isn't just a static or simple trailing mechanism but a sophisticated tool that adapts to the evolving market conditions, aiming to maximize profit while minimizing the risk of being stopped out prematurely due to market noise.
----
How are the probabilities calculated? What are the underlying calculations?
The probability is designed to enhance trade management by using buyside liquidity and probability analysis to filter out low/high probability conditions.
This helps in identifying optimal trailing points where the likelihood of a price continuation is higher.
Calculations:
1. Understanding Swing highs and Swing Lows
Swing High: A Swing High is formed when there is a high with 2 lower highs to the left and right.
Swing Low: A Swing Low is formed when there is a low with 2 higher lows to the left and right.
2. Understanding the purpose and the underlying calculations behind Buyside, Sellside and Equilibrium levels.
3. Understanding probability calculations
1. Upon the formation of a new range, the script waits for the price to reach and tap into equilibrium or the 50% level. Status: "⏸" - Inactive
2. Once equilibrium is tapped into, the equilibrium status becomes activated and it waits for either liquidity side to be hit. Status: "▶" - Active
3. If the buyside liquidity is hit, the script adds to the count of successful buyside liquidity occurrences. Similarly, if the sellside is tapped, it records successful sellside liquidity occurrences.
5. Finally, the number of successful occurrences for each side is divided by the overall count individually to calculate the range probabilities.
Note: The calculations are performed independently for each directional range. A range is considered bearish if the previous breakout was through a sellside liquidity. Conversely, a range is considered bullish if the most recent breakout was through a buyside liquidity.
----
What does the automation table display?
The automation table in the AutoPilot indicator provides a summary of user-defined settings crucial for automated trade management through PineConnector and TradingView integration. It displays:
PineConnector License ID: This ensures that the indicator is linked to your specific PineConnector account, allowing for personalized and secure automation of your trades.
Order Type (Buy/Sell): Indicates whether the automation is set for buying or selling, which is essential for correctly executing your trading strategy.
Chosen Symbol: Specifies the trading pair or symbol in your broker's platform where the trade management commands (like closing orders) will be executed. This ensures that the automation targets the correct market or asset.
Risk Per Trade: Shows the percentage or amount of your capital you're willing to risk on each trade, helping you maintain consistent risk management across different trades.
Comment: A field for you to input notes or identifiers, particularly useful when trading across multiple markets or instruments. This helps in tracking and managing trades across different assets or strategies.
Comment: A field for you to input identifiers, particularly useful when trading across multiple timeframes or different enries.
Allowing users to manage specific comments for each previously taken entry, facilitating precise management of multiple trades with unique identifiers.
This table serves as a quick reference for your current settings, ensuring you're always aware of how your trades are being managed automatically before any adjustments are made or alerts are triggered.
----
How to use the indicator?
To use the AutoPilot indicator:
Purchase a License ID: Acquire a license ID from PineConnector.
Setup PineConnector EA: Install and configure the PineConnector Expert Advisor on your MetaTrader platform.
Input Settings: Enter your PineConnector license ID, choose the order type, set your risk per trade, add the order comment, and select the trading symbol in the indicator's settings.
Create Alert: Right-click on the automation table, and set up an alert with the provided webhook to connect with PineConnector.
Automatic Management: Once set, your active trades will be automatically managed according to the alert conditions you've set.
This setup ensures your trades are managed seamlessly without constant manual intervention.
----
What makes this indicator original?
Integration with PineConnector: The AutoPilot indicator's originality lies in its integration with PineConnector, which allows for real-time trade management directly from TradingView to your MetaTrader platform. This setup is unique as it combines the analytical capabilities of TradingView with the execution capabilities of MetaTrader through a custom indicator, providing a seamless bridge between analysis and action.
Market Structure-Based Trailing Stop-Loss: Unlike many indicators that might use fixed percentages or ATR (Average True Range) for stop-loss adjustments, the AutoPilot indicator uses market structure (higher highs, lower lows) to dynamically adjust the stop-loss.
Probability-Based Adjustments: The indicator doesn't just trail stop-losses based on price but incorporates the probability of market structure holding or breaking. This probability-based trailing mechanism is innovative, aiming to balance between giving trades room to breathe and tightening when market behavior suggests a potential reversal or continuation.
Customizable Automation Table: The automation table within the indicator allows for detailed customization, including setting specific comments for trades. This feature, while perhaps not unique in concept, is original in its implementation within trading indicators, providing users with a high degree of control and personalization over trade management.
Real-Time Trade Management Alerts: The ability to set up alerts directly from the indicator to manage trades in real-time via webhooks to PineConnector adds a layer of automation that's not commonly found in standard trading indicators. This real-time connection for trade management enhances its originality by reducing the lag between analysis and trade execution.
User-Centric Design: The design of the AutoPilot indicator focuses heavily on user interaction, allowing for inputs like risk per trade, specific order types, and comments. This user-centric approach, where the indicator adapts to the trader's strategy rather than the trader adapting to the tool, sets it apart.
External Integration for Enhanced Functionality: By leveraging external services like PineConnector for execution, the indicator extends its functionality beyond what's typically possible within TradingView alone, making it original in its ecosystem integration for trading purposes.
Practical Implication: This means if you're in a trade and the market structure suggests the trend is continuing (e.g., making higher highs in an uptrend), your stop-loss might trail closer to the price but not too close to avoid being stopped out by normal fluctuations. If the structure breaks (e.g., a lower high in an uptrend), the stop-loss could adjust more aggressively to protect profits or minimize losses, anticipating a potential trend change.
This combination of features creates an original tool that not only analyzes market conditions but actively manages trades based on sophisticated market structure analysis.

[VC] Cumulative Delta Volume BarsLet's first learn what is Delta & How to Use Cumulative Delta Volume Bars?
Cumulative Delta Volume Bars is one of the leading indicators that you can use when trading order flow. It gives you an instant snapshot of the buying and selling pressure in a market.
After reading the detailed description of "Cumulative Delta Volume Bars," you will understand how volume delta provides a critical edge by allowing you to spot significant potential reversals in the market. You will also learn to use this Cumulative Delta indicator in depth. (including rest session usability features)
What is Delta Volume?
Delta Volume is the difference between Buying and Selling Power. Delta Volume is calculated by taking the difference between the volume traded at the offer price and the volume traded at the bid price. (in simple words, the difference between buying pressure & selling pressure)
If delta volume is more than zero, you have more buying pressure than selling & vice versa, and if delta volume is less than zero, you have more selling pressure than buying.
In Order-Flow Analysis , traders used Cumulative Delta to measure the relationship between the Buying & Selling pressure Vs Price.
Cumulative delta volume takes the delta values for every bar and successively adds them together to provide a graph, as seen below visually.
Let me demonstrate by giving examples of how cumulative Delta can help measure the buying or selling pressure relative to the price move.
★ Trading Absorption & Exhaustion concepts with Delta
See the chart below & try to analyze the next possible move on the basses on the analysis mentioned on the chart.
➽➽ If you said Short, you were correct. ✅
Till Point A , both price & cumulative were aligned. (means there were no imbalances between Delta & Price).
But on Point B , the Cumulative Delta broke the previous resistance clearly and moved even further away from the resistance level, but the Price couldn't break the last resistance. It interprets that buyers applied a lot of buying pressure but no result. (Aggressive buying pressure absorbed by Passive sellers)
Due to this vast effort or failed attempt, buyers were exhausted and had no more strength to pull the Price up. That's why the Price reversed from Point B . See below image
★ Cumulative Delta Volume Bars is helpful when determining buying or selling pressure at different key price levels, such as swing highs or lows.
Let's recap on swing highs and swing lows.
➽ A swing high (S.H) is formed when the high reaches higher than the price action around it. Once the Price moves above a prior swing high and begins to retrace, a new swing high is formed.
➽ A swing low (S.L) is formed when the low reaches lower than price action around it. Once the Price moves below a prior swing low and begins to retrace, a new swing low is formed.
➽ When the Price makes higher highs and higher lows, a market is considered an uptrend.
➽ When the Price is making lower lows followed by lower highs, a market is considered a downtrend.
When evaluating Delta, it's beneficial to compare delta values at swing lows or swing highs to determine the amount of selling or buying pressure and how the market reacts.
The actual Power of Delta is revealed when we use it to determine the market's reaction to powerful buying or selling. We want to see if the market has reacted as we would expect or not.
In the above Example, you will notice that every time price breaks a swing, Delta does as well.
It makes sense as it takes selling pressure to break a swing low or buying pressure to break a swing high. In simple words, we can say that there is no anomaly between delta direction & price direction.
In simple words (No Absorption or Exhaustion)
But what's occurring when this isn't the case, and we have divergence between Price and Delta? Let's analyze it with real examples.
★ Understanding Delta Divergence.
(Lack of Harmony in Buying/Selling Pressure & Price Move)
Notice how the Price breaks out of the previous resistance level on the above chart, but the Delta didn't yet reach even close to its last resistance level. It's a clear divergence between Price and Delta. Buyers may be slightly exhausted at the previous resistance level, and Price & Delta may retrace slightly. But in a broader view, it reflects a strong bullish signal.
See the above chart & see when and why the Price moved. I hope it will help you understand the underlying relation & story between Price & Delta.
Cumulative Delta & Trade Management
Delta will help you spot significant reversals, but it can also be used to help manage your open trade. You want to see a high correlation between Delta and Price when in a long or short position.
Suppose you're short while the Price is breaking a new low. You want to see Delta breaking low if sellers aren't interested in selling at the recent lows, represented by Delta not breaking lows. The probability of a short term reversal or a significant retrace increases.
When in a position, always be on the lookout for exhaustion and absorption, signalling a reversal potential.

Delta Volume[integral]Delta Volume – Visualizing Accumulated Candle Dominance
This indicator measures and accumulates the net difference between bullish and bearish candle volumes over a user-defined range of bars. It integrates the volume dominance over time, offering traders a unique view into how buying or selling pressure has been distributed.
🔍 Concept & Logic
Delta Volume Calculation
For each bar, the script looks x to y bars back in time (e.g., from 10 bars ago to 5 bars ago) and:
Adds volume for bullish candles (close > open)
Subtracts volume for bearish candles (close < open)
This gives us a snapshot of volume dominance for that range.
What is Integration in This Context?
Integration, in this script, refers to the accumulation (summation) of these dominance differences over a period.
Much like integrating a function in calculus (i.e., area under the curve), here we are integrating the "net advantage" of buyers vs. sellers.
Over time, this builds a cumulative picture of directional pressure, showing whether buyers (positive integration) or sellers (negative integration) are in control.
Why It Matters
Unlike simple volume charts, this tool filters noise by focusing on who is dominating the market—buyers or sellers—and tracks that dominance over time.
It gives a macro-level view of pressure buildup, which can precede major breakouts or reversals.
📊 Visual Features
Buy Volume (green columns): Sum of volumes from bullish candles.
Sell Volume (red columns): Sum of volumes from bearish candles.
Candle Difference (white line): Net dominance difference (Buy - Sell).
Integrated Dominance Difference: Cumulative label showing the total buyer-seller dominance over the defined integration period.
Zero Line (dashed): Balance point.
🧠 Use Case
Detect divergences between price and cumulative volume pressure.
Confirm trend strength when integrated delta volume aligns with price movement.
Spot accumulation or distribution phases invisible on price action alone.
⚠️ If you're applying this to symbols with no volume data (e.g., certain Forex or indices), the script will stop with an error message.
Uptrick: Reversal Matrix +Overview
The Uptrick: Reversal Matrix + is designed as a comprehensive tool that organizes market information in a visually intuitive way. It presents a variety of signals and data points on the chart, aiming to provide clarity about potential reversals, directional momentum, and the broader context surrounding price behavior. By consolidating numerous indicators and statistics into a single interface, it serves as a versatile companion for different trading styles and time horizons.
Purpose
This indicator offers a multifunctional approach to market analysis. It seeks to help users gain a more holistic view of current conditions rather than focusing on isolated data points. Its primary goal is to guide traders toward recognizing evolving market structures, shifts in buying or selling pressure, and periods where price movement may exhibit stronger or weaker momentum. Because it is designed for adaptive use, it can cater to fast, intraday styles or more deliberate, long-term strategies, depending on how the user configures it.
Originality and Uniqueness
The Reversal Matrix + stands out by merging various categories of market data into cohesive visuals and tables. While many indicators offer singular signals or straightforward buy/sell prompts, this script integrates numerous underlying components and displays them in organized panels. Each piece of data, from volume characteristics to volatility states, is contextualized. This multi-layered approach helps traders see more than just a single dimension of the market. Whether one is exploring short-term breakouts, potential traps, or broader market regimes, the tool accommodates multiple perspectives within a single framework.
Inputs
1. Sensitivity.
This setting allows you to choose different levels based on how frequently you would like signals to appear. Selecting a higher sensitivity may capture faster changes but can produce a greater number of signals. More moderate or smoother settings can be preferable for users looking for less frequent but potentially clearer indications of shifts.
2. Trading Style.
This option adapts the tool to match conservative, normal, or more aggressive preferences. When choosing a conservative style, the script attempts to filter out smaller fluctuations, while the aggressive style might highlight more potential turning points as they emerge.
3. Potential Signal Threshold Difference
This setting adjusts the sensitivity of potential reversal signals. A lower value means the script will highlight only the most distinct setups, filtering out weaker or borderline scenarios. A higher value makes the tool more receptive to subtle shifts, potentially flagging more frequent signals. It allows users to fine-tune how responsive the script is to early momentum changes, depending on their preferred level of signal strictness.
4. Table Positions (Optional).
There are inputs that let you decide the on-chart position of the tables. You can enable or disable these tables and choose where they appear (for instance, top-right or bottom-left), depending on how you want the data displayed alongside price bars.
Table and Its Position
When enabled, a large table, known as the Full Metrics Table, offers extensive details about various technical and behavioral metrics. You can place it anywhere on your chart layout for convenience. It is designed to give you a granular view of current conditions without overwhelming the main price candles themselves.
Another, smaller panel known as the Final Verdict Table can also be displayed at a user-chosen position. This panel simplifies the script’s internal assessments into broader verdicts or summaries, allowing for a quick read on the market’s status.
Features
Multi-Faceted Signal and Alert System.
The indicator continuously scans market activity, highlighting events such as sudden rises or drops, changes in volatility, and shifts in momentum. Users can configure an array of alerts that instantly notify them of these occurrences, reducing the need to constantly monitor the chart.
Candle Overlays and Fading Effects .
In addition to standard chart candles, the script offers visual cues by shading or coloring candles differently when it detects certain signals. The fading mechanism gradually diminishes the bar color of older signals so that recent ones are more noticeable. This helps keep the focus on current opportunities while retaining a historical context.
Contextual Market Synopsis .
Each time a candle closes, the tool updates a variety of behind-the-scenes checks. This process helps the user see whether the market remains within the same general state (trending, ranging, or reversing) or is shifting rapidly. It also adds clarity when conditions may be transitioning between bullish and bearish inclinations.
Adaptable Settings for Different Styles .
Since traders differ in their tolerance for rapid fluctuations, the script’s adjustable Sensitivity and Trading Style inputs provide a way to fine-tune how it reacts. Someone trading on shorter timeframes can opt for more frequent signals that capture subtle changes, whereas a position trader might lean toward smoother outputs that highlight only stronger, more sustained conditions.
Extended Data Analysis .
Beyond immediate buy/sell possibilities, the Reversal Matrix+ delivers comprehensive data to help users confirm or question a market stance. A wide range of volume, volatility, and price action elements are factored in, giving each signal additional context rather than a simple green or red highlight.
Final Verdict Summaries .
When the second table is enabled, it condenses key aspects of the indicator’s internal logic into straightforward statements. Rather than navigating multiple data rows, you can check if the market appears more stable or volatile, potentially bullish or bearish, and whether a reversal probability is deemed high or low.
Large-Scale Alert Coverage .
More than fifty specialized alerts focus on distinct aspects, enabling users to track everything from volume anomalies to momentum acceleration.
Specialized Color Schemes .
To assist in quickly spotting bullish or bearish tendencies, candles and background components may be tinted in line with the latest recognized conditions. This visual reinforcement makes it easier to decide if ongoing signals confirm a previous stance or suggest a change.
Buy/Sell Signals
A core function of the script is to present buy and sell indications on the chart, identifying moments when price momentum may be shifting in a meaningful way. These signals come in two varieties: potential reversals and confirmed reversals. Potential reversals appear sooner, providing an early heads-up that market behavior could be turning. Confirmed reversals require a stronger confluence of underlying conditions, aiming to reduce the likelihood of false starts.
Internally, the script examines multiple facets—such as momentum flow, changes in volatility, and volume characteristics—to determine when a potential transition is noteworthy enough to highlight as a signal. As soon as those conditions line up, the script applies distinct markers or shapes to the candles, making it easy to spot these pivotal points on the chart. In addition, each new signal is emphasized through color-based candle shading, while older signals gradually fade to keep attention on the most relevant opportunities.
Although these signals can function as standalone cues, many traders pair them with the script’s other outputs—such as the Full Metrics Table, the Final Verdict Table, and specialized alerts—to form a more complete perspective. For instance, a potential buy signal spotted in real time may gain extra weight if certain metrics in the table reflect a constructive market backdrop. Meanwhile, the final verdict can offer a succinct confirmation or contradiction to what the buy or sell signal suggests. By combining these elements, traders can pursue strategies that balance both immediacy and context, tailoring their entries and exits to their own tolerance for risk and time horizon.
These features collectively allow users to explore the market from multiple angles. Whether one seeks a deeper technical dive or simpler guidance, the indicator’s layered design aims to cater to a broad spectrum of trading approaches.
Full Metrics Table
A key element of Uptrick: Reversal Matrix+ is the extensive set of data displayed within the Full Metrics Table. Below is an expanded explanation of the sixty-four core metrics. Each is accompanied by a brief statement about its practical significance.
Price
Displays current price.
Price Percent
Shows how much the price has shifted in percentage terms over a recent comparison point. Useful for gauging recent moves.
Vo Open
Presents price movement in relation to the candle’s open. Helps traders see if momentum favored bullish or bearish direction within the candle.
Range Percent
Depicts the span between high and low over the candle’s range, offering a measure of volatility within that candle.
Bodi Percent
Indicates how much of the candle is body as opposed to wick. Shows whether there was more decisive movement or more back-and-forth trading.
Volatility
Generically measures how dramatically price has been fluctuating over a given period. Helps users notice if the market is calm or very active.
Mpeed
Represents a sense of speed in price movement, potentially revealing if momentum is picking up or slowing down.
Accel
Points to how quickly price movement shifts from one level of speed to another. Can hint at a market that is accelerating or flattening out.
Volume
Reflects how many shares, contracts, or units are traded within the current bar. Higher volume may suggest stronger conviction.
Vol Percent
Shows how the volume compares, in percentage, to a previous period’s volume. Useful for spotting surges or drops in trading activity.
Mession Hi
Captures the highest point within a recent observed period or session. Often watched for potential breakout or reversal clues.
Mession Lo
Captures the lowest point within a recent observed period or session. Similarly, used to watch for support or breakdowns.
Pos Percent
Indicates how far the current price stands within its range. Being near the upper percentile suggests strength or an overbought scenario, depending on the viewpoint.
Mpread
Offers a sense of the overall spread in price action, which can reflect the determination of buyers or sellers within a candle.

Hist. Accum
Positions price within a more extended historical range, allowing one to see if the asset is near major peaks or troughs.
Trap Bias
Informs if the market may be showing conditions that lead to bull traps or bear traps, cautioning traders who chase rapid moves.
Final Verdict Table
The secondary table, known as the Final Verdict Table, condenses the tool’s main findings into concise statements. It watches for patterns such as alignment of trends, clarity of momentum, perceived volatility conditions, and possible reversals. Depending on what the script observes, the table might suggest a bullish confluence, a bearish confluence, an unstable market environment, or a more neutral outlook. This feature is particularly helpful for traders who prefer quick insights over a detailed breakdown of every metric.
Metrics Included in the Final Verdict Table
Directional Momentum Flow
This entry shows how the indicator interprets short-term momentum for the current market. If momentum appears to be gaining strength in one direction, it may indicate that buyers or sellers have a slight edge, whereas a flat reading might suggest indecision.
Volatility Regime Assessment
This metric provides insight into whether the market is relatively calm, moderate, or experiencing elevated volatility. A calmer volatility state might favor steadier strategies, while higher volatility could signal the potential for wider price swings.
Trend Continuity Confidence
This section reflects how confident the tool is in the market’s current trend. It helps traders see whether recent action supports a persistent uptrend, downtrend, or if there is ambiguity that undermines the idea of a consistent directional movement.
Reversal Probability Index
Here, the table evaluates whether conditions are conducive to a market turnaround. If the script observes signs of exhaustion or conflict in momentum, it may suggest an increased possibility of the price switching direction.
Manipulation Detector
This component looks for signals that the market may be attempting to trap buyers or sellers. For instance, a sudden shift might hint at a bull or bear trap scenario. This readout serves to caution against seemingly obvious moves that could quickly reverse.
Final Verdict
Below these metrics, the table presents a single overall statement that integrates the above factors. This final verdict can range from identifying a bullish or bearish confluence to calling the market unstable or neutral if conditions are inconclusive. It is intended to be a quick, high-level summary of the script’s general stance on the market.
Any Other Features
Users can access more than fifty specialized alerts that target different market conditions, from potential trap scenarios to shifts in volatility regimes. These alerts can be integrated into various platforms, ensuring that traders receive immediate notifications when critical triggers occur. The color-coded candle approach, combined with fading effects, helps maintain chart readability. Over time, this setup encourages a balance between a detailed backdrop of market data and a clear depiction of fresh signals.
Why More than One Indicator
Integrating multiple components under one roof offers several advantages. It reduces the chance of relying on a single dimension, such as price action alone, which can sometimes mislead or generate frequent false signals. By combining various measures of volatility, volume, and price structure, the script can reveal confluences or disagreements among different elements. This multi-faceted approach can improve clarity, making it easier to decide when conditions line up favorably or when they conflict, thereby prompting caution.
Conclusion
In summary, the Uptrick: Reversal Matrix + aims to deliver a sweeping overview of market dynamics. It guides users from raw observations—like price and volume—to broader insights concerning trend stability, potential reversals, and overall liquidity. Its dual-table system allows for both fine-grained analysis and fast verdicts, catering to traders with varying degrees of time and attention. The numerous alerts and color coding schemes further round out its capacity for real-time monitoring and visually clear signal presentation.

Nef33-Volume Footprint ApproximationDescription of the "Volume Footprint Approximation" Indicator
Purpose
The "Volume Footprint Approximation" indicator is a tool designed to assist traders in analyzing market volume dynamics and anticipating potential trend changes in price. It is inspired by the concept of a volume footprint chart, which visualizes the distribution of trading volume across different price levels. However, since TradingView does not provide detailed intrabar data for all users, this indicator approximates the behavior of a footprint chart by using available volume and price data (open, close, volume) to classify volume as buy or sell, calculate volume delta, detect imbalances, and generate trend change signals.
The indicator is particularly useful for identifying areas of high buying or selling activity, imbalances between supply and demand, delta divergences, and potential reversal points in the market. It provides specific signals for bullish and bearish trend changes, making it suitable for traders looking to trade reversals or confirm trends.
How It Works
The indicator uses volume and price data from each candlestick to perform the following calculations:
Volume Classification:
Classifies the volume of each candlestick as "buy" or "sell" based on price movement:
If the closing price is higher than the opening price (close > open), the volume is classified as "buy."
If the closing price is lower than the opening price (close < open), the volume is classified as "sell."
If the closing price equals the opening price (close == open), it compares with the previous close to determine the direction:
If the current close is higher than the previous close, it is classified as "buy."
If the current close is lower than the previous close, it is classified as "sell."
If the current close equals the previous close, the classification from the previous bar is used.
Delta Calculation:
Calculates the volume delta as the difference between buy volume and sell volume (buyVolume - sellVolume).
A positive delta indicates more buy volume; a negative delta indicates more sell volume.
Imbalance Detection:
Identifies imbalances between buy and sell volume:
A buy imbalance occurs when buy volume exceeds sell volume by a defined percentage (default is 300%).
A sell imbalance occurs when sell volume exceeds buy volume by the same percentage.
Delta Divergence Detection:
Positive Delta Divergence: Occurs when the price is falling (for at least 2 bars) but the delta is increasing or becomes positive, indicating that buyers are entering despite the price decline.
Negative Delta Divergence: Occurs when the price is rising (for at least 2 bars) but the delta is decreasing or becomes negative, indicating that sellers are entering despite the price increase.
Trend Change Signals:
Bullish Signal (trendChangeBullish): Generated when the following conditions are met:
There is a positive delta divergence.
The delta has moved from a negative value (e.g., -500) to a positive value (e.g., +200) over the last 3 bars.
There is a buy imbalance.
The price is near a historical support level (approximated as the lowest low of the last 50 bars).
Bearish Signal (trendChangeBearish): Generated when the following conditions are met:
There is a negative delta divergence.
The delta has moved from a positive value (e.g., +500) to a negative value (e.g., -200) over the last 3 bars.
There is a sell imbalance.
The price is near a historical resistance level (approximated as the highest high of the last 50 bars).
Visual Elements
The indicator is displayed in a separate panel below the price chart (overlay=false) and includes the following elements:
Volume Histograms:
Buy Volume: Represented by a green histogram. Shows the volume classified as "buy."
Sell Volume: Represented by a red histogram. Shows the volume classified as "sell."
Note: The histograms overlap, and the last plotted histogram (red) takes visual precedence, meaning the sell volume may cover the buy volume if it is larger.
Delta Line:
Delta Volume: Represented by a blue line. Shows the difference between buy and sell volume.
A line above zero indicates more buy volume; a line below zero indicates more sell volume.
A dashed gray horizontal line marks the zero level for easier interpretation.
Imbalance Backgrounds:
Buy Imbalance: Light green background when buy volume exceeds sell volume by the defined percentage.
Sell Imbalance: Light red background when sell volume exceeds buy volume by the defined percentage.
Divergence Backgrounds:
Positive Delta Divergence: Lime green background when a positive delta divergence is detected.
Negative Delta Divergence: Fuchsia background when a negative delta divergence is detected.
Trend Change Signals:
Bullish Signal: Green label with the text "Bullish Trend Change" when the conditions for a bullish trend change are met.
Bearish Signal: Red label with the text "Bearish Trend Change" when the conditions for a bearish trend change are met.
Information Labels:
Below each bar, a label displays:
Total Vol: The total volume of the bar.
Delta: The delta volume value.
Alerts
The indicator generates the following alerts:
Positive Delta Divergence: "Positive Delta Divergence Detected! Price is falling, but delta is increasing."
Negative Delta Divergence: "Negative Delta Divergence Detected! Price is rising, but delta is decreasing."
Bullish Trend Change Signal: "Bullish Trend Change Signal! Positive Delta Divergence, Delta Rise, Buy Imbalance, and Near Support."
Bearish Trend Change Signal: "Bearish Trend Change Signal! Negative Delta Divergence, Delta Drop, Sell Imbalance, and Near Resistance."
These alerts can be configured in TradingView to receive real-time notifications.
Adjustable Parameters
The indicator allows customization of the following parameters:
Imbalance Threshold (%): The percentage required to detect an imbalance between buy and sell volume (default is 300%).
Lookback Period for Divergence: Number of bars to look back for detecting price and delta trends (default is 2 bars).
Support/Resistance Lookback Period: Number of bars to look back for identifying historical support and resistance levels (default is 50 bars).
Delta High Threshold (Bearish): Minimum delta value 2 bars ago for the bearish signal (default is +500).
Delta Low Threshold (Bearish): Maximum delta value in the current bar for the bearish signal (default is -200).
Delta Low Threshold (Bullish): Maximum delta value 2 bars ago for the bullish signal (default is -500).
Delta High Threshold (Bullish): Minimum delta value in the current bar for the bullish signal (default is +200).
Practical Use
The indicator is useful for the following purposes:
Identifying Trend Changes:
The trend change signals (trendChangeBullish and trendChangeBearish) indicate potential price reversals. For example, a bullish signal near a support level may be an opportunity to enter a long position.
Detecting Divergences:
Delta divergences (positive and negative) can anticipate trend changes by showing a disagreement between price movement and underlying buying/selling pressure.
Finding Key Levels:
Imbalances (green and red backgrounds) often coincide with support and resistance levels, helping to identify areas where the market might react.
Confirming Trends:
A consistently positive delta in an uptrend or a negative delta in a downtrend can confirm the strength of the trend.
Identifying Failed Auctions:
Although not detected automatically, you can manually identify failed auctions by observing a price move to new highs/lows with decreasing volume in the direction of the move.
Limitations
Intrabar Data: It does not use detailed intrabar data, making it less precise than a native footprint chart.
Approximations: Volume classification and support/resistance detection are approximations, which may lead to false signals.
Volume Dependency: It requires reliable volume data, so it may be less effective on assets with inaccurate volume data (e.g., some forex pairs).
False Signals: Divergences and imbalances do not always indicate a trend change, especially in strongly trending markets.
Recommendations
Combine with Other Indicators: Use tools like RSI, MACD, support/resistance levels, or candlestick patterns to confirm signals.
Trade on Higher Timeframes: Signals are more reliable on higher timeframes like 1-hour or 4-hour charts.
Perform Backtesting: Evaluate the indicator's accuracy on historical data to adjust parameters and improve effectiveness.
Adjust Parameters: Modify thresholds (e.g., imbalanceThreshold or supportResistanceLookback) based on the asset and timeframe you are trading.
Conclusion
The "Volume Footprint Approximation" indicator is a powerful tool for analyzing volume dynamics and anticipating price trend changes. By classifying volume, calculating delta, detecting imbalances and divergences, and generating trend change signals, it provides traders with valuable insights into market buying and selling pressure. While it has limitations due to the lack of intrabar data, it can be highly effective when used in combination with other technical analysis tools and on assets with reliable volume data.
BE_VolumeAnalysis_ProTraders rely on volume as a key metric because it lets them know the liquidity level of an asset. If enough volumes are supplied (Buy | Sell) definitely prices respect the supplied volume.
However, the word “Supplied” is here indicated as “Pressure”. If there is enough Buying pressure then sellers will be kicked out easy and vis-versa.
Index traders normally refers to future contract volumes and hence we have provided an option to refer the volumes from the near expiry contracts.
Mathematical calculation is involved in this study to arrive at the Appx volume for the options such as Volume Splitter. If pressure is seen from buyer side, then volumes will be shown for buyers more and similarly for sellers. Each candle will have both buyers’ volume vs Seller Volume.
Similar study have be made along with some averages to arrive at the buying | Selling pressure for the Options “Volume Pressure & Vol Pres 2”. If price has to move up buying volumes should get pumped in and for prices to fall down selling volumes should be pumped in to the market. Quantum of pressure is being calculated accordingly and shown as the areas for option “Volume Pressure” and Candles for option “Vol Pres 2”.
Also we have shown some additional built in indicators like OBV and Price Volume Trend along with faith plots to show the traders extra information about the volumes to take some wise trades.
Note: Study involves more of price action calculations (mathematical calculations only).
The Amplifier - Two Day Historical Bitcoin Volatility PlotThe 3rd piece to the other two pieces to our CoT study. This is the Amplifier, which turns select signals into 'Super' Buys/Sells
The other two being the 'Bitcoin Insider CoT Delta', and the on chart Price indicator most will have, if no others the 'Hunt Bitcoin CoT Buy/Sell Signals' that will indicate the key signals, ave 4 a year on the chart as they occur.
Why Bother another CoT signal?
Its different & focused on the Insider's.
Performance -
This Indicator provided a
1. Signal 1 = 26th March 2019 = SUPER LONG at $4,500 that saw a near $14,000 run up
2. Signal 2 = 18th & 24th June 2019 = SHORT at the second & final level $11,700 after repeated attempts & failure in the $13K range, the mini Echo Bitcoin Bull of 2019
3. Signal 3 = 17th December 2019 = LONG $6,900, Bitcoin rallied to Mid $10,500's
4. Signal 4 = 18th Feb 2020 = SUPER SHORT from $9,700's to a final extreme Low of $3,000, calling the CV-19 collapse
5. Signal 5 = 17th March 2020 = LONG from $5,400 no closure point yet
6. Signal 6 = 29th June 2020 = SUPER LONG reiterate from $10,700 no closure sell signal yet
7. Signal 7 = 17th May 2020 = LONG another accumulate LONG with no sell signal yet generated at Post H&S's low of $33,000
Note - This indicator only commences March 2019, as Bitcoin futures were a recent introduction and needed to settle for 6 months in both use and data, no signals were meaningful prior & data was light.
What is Provided. - Please note the need to also add the Hunt Bitcoin Historical Volatility Indicator for full understanding.
We provide 3 things with the 3 indicators.
'Insider' indications from Largest players in the futures market.
1. Bitcoin Macro Buy Signals.
a) The Bitcoin Commitment of Traders results see us focus solely on Largest 4 Short Open Interest & Largest 4 Long Open Interest aspects of the CoT Release data.
When the difference - is tight, a kind of pinch, these have been great Buy signals in Bitcoin.
We call this difference the Delta & When Delta is 5% or less Bitcoin is a Buy.
2. Bitcoin Macro Sells.
a) A sell signal is Triggered in Bitcoin at any point the Largest 4 short OI > or = to 70
3. AMPLIFIER Trade signals 'Super' Longs or Shorts -
Extreme low volatility events leads to highly impulsive & volatile subsequent moves, if either of 1 or 2 above occur, combined with extreme low volatility
a 'Super Long' or 'SUPER SELL' is generated. In the case of the short side, given Bitcoins general expansive and MACRO Bull trend since inception, we seek an additional component
that is an extreme differential/Delta reading between 4 biggest Longs & Shorts OI.
Namely CoT Delta also must be > 47.5%
We also have a Cautionary level, where it is not necessarily a good idea to accumulate Bitcon, as a better opportunity lower may avail itself, see conditions below.
So the required logic explicitly stated below for all Signals.
1. Long - Hunt Bitcoin CoT Delta < or = 5
2. SUPER Long - Hunt Bitcoin CoT Delta < or = 5; and 2 Day Historical Bitcoin Volatility = or < 20
3. Short - Largest 4 Sellers OI = or > 70
4. SUPER Short - Largest 4 Sellers OI = or > 70; AND..
Hunt Bitcoin CoT Delta = or > 47.5 AND 2 Day Historical BTC Volatility = or < 20
5. Caution - Largest 4 Sellers OI = or > 67.5 AND Hunt Bitcoin CoT Delta = or > 45
WARNING SEE Notes Below
Note 1 - = Largest 4 Open Interest Shorts
Note 2 - = Largest 4 Open Interest Longs
Note 3 - = Hunt Cot Delta = (Largest 4 sellers OI) -( Largest 4 Buyers OI)
Caution = Avoid new Bitcoin Accumulation Right Now, A sell signal might follow Enter on next Long
Note 4 - The Hunt Bitcoin COT Delta signal is a Largest 'Insider' Tracking tool based on a segment of Commitment of Traders data on Bitcoin Futures, released once a week on a Friday.
It is a Macro Timeframe signal , and should not be used for Day trading and Short Timeframe analysis , Entries may be optimised after a Hunt Bitcoin CoT Signal is generated by separate shorter Timeframe analysis.
Note 5 - The Historical Bitcoin Volatility is an additional 'Amplifier' component to the 'Hunt Bitcoin Cot Delta' Insider Signal
Note 6 - The Historical Bitcoin Volatility criteria varies by timeframe, the above levels are those applying on a Two Day TF Chart, select this custom timeframe in Trading View.
if additional criteria are met for LONG & SHORT insider signals, they may become 'Super Longs/Shorts', see conditions box above.
CoffeeShopCrypto Supply Demand PPO AdvancedCoffeeShopCrypto PPO Advanced is a structure-aware momentum oscillator and price-trend overlay designed to help traders interpret momentum strength, exhaustion, and continuation across evolving market conditions. It’s not a “buy/sell” signal tool — it's a momentum context tool that helps confirm trend intent.
Original Code derived from the Price Oscillator Indicators (PPO) found in the TradingView Technical Indicators categories. You can view the info and calculation for the original PPO here
www.tradingview.com
Much like the MACD, the PPO uses a couple lagging indicators to present Momentum as a percentage. But it lacks context to market structure.
What It’s Based On
This tool is based on a dual-moving-average PPO oscillator structure (Percentage Price Oscillator) enhanced by:
Oscillator pivot structure: detection of Lower Highs (LH) and Higher Lows (HL) inside the oscillator.
Detection of Supply and Demand Trends via Market Absorption
Ability to transfer its average plots to price action
Detection of Trend Exhaustion
Real-time price-based exhaustion levels: projecting potential future supply and demand using trendlines from weakening momentum.
Integrated fast and slow Moving Averages on price using the same inputs as the oscillator, to visualize alignment between short- and long-term trends.
These elements combine momentum context with price action in a visual, intuitive system.
How It Works
1. Oscillator Structure
LHs (above zero): momentum weakening in uptrends.
HLs (below zero): momentum strengthening in downtrends.
Only valid pivots are shown (e.g., an LH must be preceded by a valid LL).
2. Exhaustion Levels
Green demand lines: price is making new lows, but oscillator prints HL → potential exhaustion.
Red supply lines: price is making new highs, but oscillator prints LH → potential exhaustion.
These lines are future-facing, projecting likely reaction zones based on momentum weakening.
3. Moving Averages on Price
Two MAs are drawn on the price chart:
Fast MA (same length as PPO short input)
Slow MA (same length as PPO long input)
These are not signal lines — they're visual guides for trend alignment.
MA crossover = PO crosses zero. This indicates short- and long-term momentum are syncing — a powerful signal of trend conviction.
When price is above both MAs, and the PO is rising above zero, bullish momentum is dominant.
When price is below both MAs, and the PO is falling below zero, bearish momentum dominates.
How Traders Can Use It
✅ Spot Trend Initiation
Wait for clear trend confirmation in price.
Use PPO Momentum+ to confirm momentum structure is aligned (e.g., HH/HL in oscillator + price above both MAs).
🔁 Track Continuations
In uptrends, look for oscillator HH and HL sequences with price holding above both MAs.
In downtrends, seek LL and LH sequences with price below both MAs.
⚠️ Watch for Exhaustion
Price breaking below red (supply) lines after oscillator LH = bearish exhaustion signal.
Price breaking above green (demand) lines after oscillator HL = bullish exhaustion signal.
These levels act like pre-mapped S/R zones, showing where momentum previously failed and price may react.
Why This Is Different
Momentum tools often lag or mislead when used blindly. This tool visualizes structural failure in momentum and maps potential outcomes. The integration of oscillator and price-based tools ensures traders are always reading context, not just raw signals.
Demand Trendlines
Demand trendlines show us Wykoff's law of "Absorbed Supply Reversal" In real time.
When aggressive selling pressure is persistently absorbed by passive buying interest without significant downward price continuation, and supply becomes exhausted, the market structure shifts as demand regains control—resulting in a directional reversal to the upside.
This commonly happens in a 3 phase interaction of price.
1. Selling pressure is absorbed quickly by buyers.
This PPO tool will calculate the trend of this absorption process
2. After there is a notable Bearish Exhaustion of price action, the PPO tool will draw a trendline of this absorption showing us the potential future prices where aggressive buyers will want to step in at lower prices.
3. After higher lows are defined in the oscillator, you'll see prices react in a strong bullish pattern at this trendline where aggressive buyers stepped in to reverse price action to the upside.
Supply Trendlines
Supply trendlines show us Wykoff's law of "Absorbed Demand Reversal" In real time.
When aggressive buying pressure is persistently absorbed by passive selling interest without significant downward price continuation, and demand becomes exhausted, the market structure shifts as supply regains control—resulting in a directional reversal to the downside.
This commonly happens in a 3 phase interaction of price.
1. Buying pressure is absorbed quickly by sellers.
This PPO tool will calculate the trend of this absorption process.
2. After there is a notable Bullish Exhaustion of price action, the PPO tool will draw a trendline of this absorption showing us the potential future prices where aggressive sellers will want to step in at higher prices.
3. After lower highs are defined in the oscillator, you'll see prices react in a strong bearish pattern at this trendline where aggressive sellers stepped in to reverse price action to the downside.
Lower High and Higher Low Signals
When the oscillator signals Lower Highs or High Lows its only noting that momentum in that trend direction is slowing. THis indicates a coming pause in the market and the proceeding longs of an uptrend or shorts of a downtrend should be taken with caution.
**These LH and HL markers are not reading as divergences in price vs momentum.**
They are simply registering against the highs and lows of itself..
Moving Averages on Price Action
The Oscillator will cross over its ZERO level the same time your Short and Long MAs cross each other. This will indicate that the short term average trend is moving ahead of the long term.
Crossovers are not an entry signal. It's a method in determining you current timeframe trend strength. Always observe price action as it passes through each of your moving averages and compare it to the positioning and direction of the oscillator.
If price dips in between the moving averages while the oscillator still shows a strong trend strength, you can wait for price to move ahead of your fast moving average.
Bar Colors and Signal Line for Trend Strength
Good Bullish Trend = Oscillator above zero + Signal rising below Oscillator
Weak Bullish Trend = Oscillator above zero + Signal above Oscillator
Good Bearish Trend = Oscillator below zero + Signal falling above Oscillator
Weak Bearish Trend = Oscillator below zero + Signal below Oscillator
Bar Colors
Bars are colored to match Oscillator Momentum Strength. Colors are set by user.
Why alter the known PPO (Percentage Price Oscillator) in this manner?
The PPO tool is great for measuring the strength as percentage of price action over and average amount of candles however, with these changes,
you know have the ability to correlate:
Wycoff theory of supply and demand,
Measure the depth of reversals and pullback by price positioning against moving averages,
Project potential reversal and exhaustion pricing,
Visibly note the structure of momentum much like you would note market structure,
Its not enough to know there is momentum. Its better to know
A) Is it enough
B) Is there something in the way which will cause price to push back
C) Does this momentum correlate to the prevailing trend
[Pandora's Chambers] Apex-Flux NavigatorThe " Apex Flux Navigator FC" indicator, whose name alludes to the unveiling of hidden market forces, offers a rich visual representation of market pressure by combining volume-based pivot analysis with RSI, including a dynamic Fibonacci grid, balanced pressure lines, and highlighted boxes for quick readability. The term "Chambers" in its name refers to the way the indicator frames the balance of power between buyers and sellers within the space defined by two consecutive pivot lines, essentially creating visual chambers that encapsulate this ongoing struggle. The grid is built according to the 25%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, and 75% levels, marking key support and resistance points. Crucially, this indicator allows you to spot pinpoint momentum divergences against volume, offering insights into potential trend reversals or continuations. The indicator also calculates cumulative buy/sell percentages since the formation of each pivot, displays an average Buy/Sell ratio for each point, uses a smart algorithm that analyzes the length of movement against speed, and draws backgrounds that outline liquidity zones based on Fibonacci ratios of volume and overbought/oversold areas (boxes) to clearly and legibly highlight buyer/seller pressure zones. Furthermore, the rapid identification of pressure zones and momentum shifts can assist in recognizing opportunities for quick scalping trades. Additionally, the width and spacing of the pressure lines visually represent the current market volatility and the difference in liquidity between buyers and sellers.
General Description
The indicator enables automatic identification of pivot points (highs and lows) based on buy/sell activity and TradingView RSI.
It draws vertical lines connecting the full pivot high to the full pivot low, creating a standard Fibonacci grid, and adds balanced pressure lines on the price sides with F--/F+/(F++) annotations corresponding to the degree of TradingView pressure.
How it Works
Pivot Identification – Uses ta.pivothigh and ta.pivotlow with the Pivot Sensitivity parameter to determine highs and lows.
Volume and RSI Collection – The f_addPivot function stores buy/sell volume according to the day's fluctuations and initial RSI; in each bar, the cumulative volume and RSI are updated to calculate a dynamic average.
Creation of Lines and Pressure Points – Calculates pressure percentages based on volume and displays them through dotted/solid lines and labels, including dynamic colors and backgrounds (boxes) for visual illustration using the TradingView “Pressure Lines” technique.
How to Interpret the Output
Dotted lines indicate Liquidity zones where the dominant side's volume is particularly strong and may mark areas that the price is drawn to in order to achieve equilibrium.
Labels with text (“B: xx% | RSI yy%”) display the buy/sell percentage and the average RSI since the pivot's creation together.
F--/F+/F++ annotations reflect a pressure quality scale using the f_getAnnotation function based on pressure percentages.
How to Use
Select “Add to chart” to attach the indicator to the chart.
Through the indicator's settings, you can change Pivot Sensitivity, Fibonacci Grid Length, RSI Period, and more.
Inputs and Settings
Pivot Sensitivity (default: 3)
Extend Pressure Lines (default: off)
RSI Period (default: 14)
Fibonacci Grid Length, Color, Offset
Colors and line styles for the reporting mode
Tips and Recommendations
Use a timeframe that reflects appropriate volatility (e.g., H4/D) to reduce noise; the shorter the timeframe, the more fluid the information the indicator presents.
To improve identification accuracy, combine with moving averages or additional Fibonacci tools.
Avoid automated trading based on the indicator alone – always require confirmation from an additional indicator.
Trade Smart – Let the Apex Flux Navigator FC guide you to significant market pressure levels!

LTF (Lower Timeframe): Displays a checkmark (✔) if the signal is confirmed on the LTF.
HTF (Higher Timeframe): Displays a checkmark (✔) if the signal is confirmed on the HTF.
Columns represent the five BBMA setups: EXT Buy, EXT Sell, CSD, CSM Buy, CSM Sell, RE Buy, RE Sell, and MHV.
Interpreting the Signals
1. EXT (Extreme) Setup
EXT Buy (Green Arrow):
Condition: Price touches or breaks below the BB lower band, closes above it, with high ATR volatility, strong volume, and additional confirmations (e.g., hammer candle, RSI oversold, MACD bullish, MAHI/MALO crossover, or bullish divergence).
Interpretation: A potential reversal buy signal. Look for confirmation in the subplot table (LTF and HTF rows).
Action: Consider a long position if LTF and HTF confirm (✔ in both rows). Use the BB middle or upper band as a target.
EXT Sell (Red Arrow):
Condition: Price touches or breaks above the BB upper band, closes below it, with high ATR volatility, strong volume, and additional confirmations (e.g., shooting star candle, RSI overbought, MACD bearish, MAHI/MALO crossunder, or bearish divergence).
Interpretation: A potential reversal sell signal.
Action: Consider a short position if LTF and HTF confirm. Use the BB middle or lower band as a target.
2. CSD (Consolidation) Setup
CSD (Yellow Diamond):
Condition: BB width is narrow (below its SMA), low ATR volatility, small candles, and no MAHI/MALO crossovers.
Interpretation: The market is consolidating, often preceding a breakout (e.g., MHV).
Action: Avoid trading during CSD unless preparing for an MHV breakout. Monitor the subplot for "Upcoming" MHV signals.
3. CSM (Continuation Setup Movement)
CSM Buy (Teal Arrow):
Condition: Price is above the BB middle, MAHI crossover, MALO crossover or MACD bullish, price above EMA 50, with additional confirmations (e.g., bullish engulfing or MACD bullish).
Interpretation: A continuation buy signal in an uptrend.
Action: Enter a long position if LTF and HTF confirm. Target the BB upper band or recent swing highs.
CSM Sell (Maroon Arrow):
Condition: Price is below the BB middle, MAHI crossunder, MALO crossunder or MACD bearish, price below EMA 50, with additional confirmations (e.g., bearish engulfing or MACD bearish).
Interpretation: A continuation sell signal in a downtrend.
Action: Enter a short position if LTF and HTF confirm. Target the BB lower band or recent swing lows.
4. RE (Re-Entry) Setup
RE Buy (Aqua Arrow):
Condition: Price is between the BB lower and middle bands, MAHI crossover, MALO crossover or MACD bullish, price above EMA 50, with additional confirmations (e.g., bullish engulfing or MACD bullish).
Interpretation: A re-entry buy signal after a pullback in an uptrend.
Action: Enter a long position if LTF and HTF confirm. Target the BB middle or upper band.
RE Sell (Fuchsia Arrow):
Condition: Price is between the BB upper and middle bands, MAHI crossunder, MALO crossunder or MACD bearish, price below EMA 50, with additional confirmations (e.g., bearish engulfing or MACD bearish).
Interpretation: A re-entry sell signal after a pullback in a downtrend.
Action: Enter a short position if LTF and HTF confirm. Target the BB middle or lower band.
5. MHV (Market High Volatility) Setup
MHV (Orange Label):
Condition: Follows a CSD signal, with expanding BB width, high ATR volatility, strong volume, and MAHI/MALO crossover or crossunder.
Interpretation: A breakout signal after consolidation, indicating high volatility and potential for a strong move.
Action: Trade in the direction of the breakout (e.g., buy if MAHI crossover, sell if MAHI crossunder). Confirm with LTF and HTF. Target significant levels like recent swing highs/lows.
6. Multi-Timeframe Confirmation
LTF Confirmation: A checkmark (✔) in the LTF row indicates the signal is also present on the lower timeframe (e.g., 5m). This adds confidence to the trade.
HTF Confirmation: A checkmark (✔) in the HTF row indicates alignment with the higher timeframe trend (e.g., 4h). This confirms the signal's strength.
Strongest Signals: Look for signals with both LTF and HTF confirmations (✔ in both rows). These have the highest probability of success.
7. Upcoming Signals
The CTF row in the subplot table may show "Upcoming" for a setup (e.g., EXT Buy: Upcoming). This indicates the setup is forming but not yet confirmed.
Action: Monitor these setups closely. They may turn "Active" on the next candle if conditions are met.
Trading Tips
Trend Alignment: Use the EMA 50 and market structure (is_uptrend) to ensure trades align with the overall trend. For example, prioritize CSM Buy signals in an uptrend.
Risk Management:
Set stop-losses below recent swing lows (for buys) or above recent swing highs (for sells).
Use the BB middle or opposite band as a target for most setups.
Avoid Overtrading: Focus on signals with LTF and HTF confirmations to filter out noise.
Timeframe Selection:
Scalping: Use 1m or 5m CTF with 1m LTF and 15m HTF.
Day Trading: Use 15m or 1h CTF with 5m LTF and 4h HTF.
Swing Trading: Use 4h or 1D CTF with 1h LTF and 1D HTF.
Backtesting: Test the indicator on historical data for your chosen asset and timeframe to understand its performance.
Alerts
The indicator includes built-in alerts for each setup:
EXT Buy/Sell: Triggers when an EXT signal is confirmed.
CSD: Triggers during consolidation.
CSM Buy/Sell: Triggers for continuation signals.
RE Buy/Sell: Triggers for re-entry signals.
MHV: Triggers for high volatility breakouts. To set up alerts:
Right-click on the chart and select "Add Alert."
Choose the condition (e.g., "BBMA EXT Buy").
Set your preferred notification method (e.g., email, SMS).
Limitations
Lagging Indicators: The indicator uses moving averages and other lagging tools, which may delay signals in fast-moving markets.
False Signals: Like all indicators, it can produce false signals, especially in choppy markets. Use LTF/HTF confirmations to filter trades.
Timeframe Dependency: Ensure your CTF, LTF, and HTF are properly aligned to avoid conflicting signals.
ZenAlgo - BenderThis script combines several volume-based methodologies into a single chart overlay to help traders analyze market participation and volume distribution. It aggregates volume from multiple sources—spot and perpetual markets across different exchanges—and processes it to display various insights directly on the chart.
The script provides a detailed view of both individual-bar volume and broader aggregated trends. It calculates certain values, plots different shapes and overlays, and includes an optional informational table. However, it does not offer financial signals or predict future price movements. Instead, it presents multiple volume and range-related highlights for educational or analytical observations.
Below is a detailed breakdown of the core elements in this script:
Core Data Calculation and Aggregation
To build a comprehensive volume picture, the script retrieves volume data from multiple predefined exchanges for both Spot and Perpetual pairs. The volume for each bar is processed in Aggregated mode , meaning it combines data across selected sources to produce a single composite volume value.
The script applies average-based aggregation to calculate the final volume figures. The total volume is then used as the basis for further calculations, such as buy/sell volume decomposition and Delta analysis.
Buy/Sell Volume Decomposition
Each bar’s total volume is separated into an estimated buy portion and a sell portion. This decomposition uses logic that considers wick length, body size, and whether the bar closed higher or lower than it opened. The script assigns fractions of the total volume to the upper wick, lower wick, and body, then multiplies these by the total aggregated volume to estimate buy and sell volumes.
This breakdown is calculated separately for spot-only volume , perp-only volume , and their aggregated sums, allowing traders to analyze how much of each bar’s volume is estimated as "buy" or "sell."
Delta and Cumulative Delta
The script computes a Delta (buy volume minus sell volume) for each bar. A positive Delta suggests more buying during that bar, while a negative Delta suggests more selling.
It also computes Cumulative Delta , summing this Delta over 14 bars (a fixed period). This allows users to observe how short-term buy/sell imbalances accumulate over time.
Visual Bar Coloring (PVSRA Logic)
The script includes logic based on PVSRA (Price Volume Support Resistance Analysis) , which examines average volume over a recent lookback period to determine whether a bar meets certain "climax" or "above-average" thresholds.
Bars are categorized as:
Climax Up or Climax Down: If a bar meets strong volume and range conditions, it is identified as a high-activity bar.
Neutral Colors: Bars that do not meet the threshold are identified as standard volume bars.
Table Summaries
The script includes an optional Spot vs. Perpetual volume table that provides:
Aggregated Spot vs. Perpetual buy/sell volumes
The net difference between buying and selling
The total sum across all included sources
Percentage breakdown of buying vs. selling
A separate multi-timeframe table calculates volume-related metrics for fixed timeframes (15, 60, and 240 minutes), allowing traders to compare their current timeframe with broader trends.
Highlighted Shapes and Diamonds
The script places shape markers above or below bars when certain conditions are met, including:
Dots (circles): Representing a significant increase in net Delta compared to the previous bar.
Diamonds: Markers that appear when volume-based conditions align with predefined thresholds. These vary in size and include an optional "Hardcore Mode" , which applies stricter filtering.
Crossover Triangles: These appear when the internally computed Delta MA (a moving average of Delta) crosses above or below a predefined EMA.
These markers highlight notable changes in volume, Delta, or price action but do not constitute predictive trading signals.
Delta Averages and Overlaid EMAs
The script plots a histogram of the current net Delta (buy minus sell) . Additionally, a Delta Moving Average (Delta MA) is used for tracking trends. The Delta MA is plotted alongside predefined Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) , such as:
A Delta MA calculated using an exponential moving average (EMA) over 21 bars.
A set of predefined EMAs (lengths such as 3, 5, 7, 10, 13, 16, 21, 25, etc.) plotted to visualize momentum changes.
Areas between these EMAs can be filled with translucent shading to highlight momentum shifts.
Comparing the Delta MA to the overlaid EMAs helps track changes in Delta momentum over time.
Interpreting the Elements
When using this script, consider the following:
Volume Aggregation: The script aggregates volume across multiple Spot and Perpetual sources to provide a broad market view.
Delta and Cumulative Delta: The Delta histogram may spike positively or negatively, highlighting areas of potential buying or selling pressure.
Table Data: If enabled, the tables display buy/sell volume splits for Spot and Perpetual markets, along with multi-timeframe comparisons.
EMA Overlays on Delta: The stacked EMAs help visualize short-term vs. longer-term Delta changes.
Shape Markers: Dots, diamonds, and triangles emphasize notable shifts in volume or Delta but do not imply recommendations for action.
Usage Tips
Toggle "Hardcore Mode" to apply stricter filtering to highlight conditions.
Enable or disable the Spot vs. Perpetual Table to see if the breakdown of volume sources is useful.
Use the multi-timeframe table to compare intraday data with broader trends.
If the chart appears too cluttered, toggle off features like PVSRA color tints or some EMAs to focus on specific elements.
Final Thoughts
This script integrates multiple volume-based calculations, range analysis, aggregated volume from predefined tickers, and various moving averages for Delta. Its visual layers—color-coded bars, histograms, shape markers, and tables—offer a rich perspective on market activity.
Users can analyze these elements across any timeframe or market combination they prefer. The script does not provide buy/sell signals or make predictions —it is purely an analytical tool for understanding volume-based market dynamics.
Traders should interpret these visual elements according to their own strategy and trading approach.
Buyside/Sellside Liquidity [Real-Time] (Expo)█ Overview
Buyside/Sellside Liquidity (Expo) is an indicator that identifies buy-side and sell-side liquidity in real time. Buy-side liquidity represents a level on the chart where short sellers will have their stops positioned. Sell-side liquidity represents a level on the chart where long-buyers will place their stops. These levels are found in areas where traders are "proven wrong" and, therefore, want to get out of their trades. Smart money will accumulate or distribute positions near these levels where many stops are placed and absorb all provided liquidity.
█ What is Buy-side and Sell-side liquidity?
Liquidity is the ability of a market to absorb large orders without significantly affecting the asset's price. Buy-side liquidity refers to the ability of buyers to buy large amounts of contracts without significantly affecting the price. Sell-side liquidity refers to the ability of sellers to sell large amounts of contracts without significantly affecting the price. This type of liquidity is important for large institutional investors, such as hedge funds and investment banks, who need to buy/sell large amounts of contracts without significantly affecting the price.
█ How to use
The price will always seek liquidity to either reverse or continue in the current move.
Reversals
Reversals are common around these levels since many traders are forced to close their positions, pushing the price in the other direction. Look for price actions that confirm a reversal around those levels.
Continuations
Liquidity is also a must for a trend to continue. If the price pushes through the liquidity levels and the current order flow structure is intact, traders should look for a continuation setup.
Inducement
Inducement is the act where smart money manipulates the price to access liquidity. Buy-side and Sell-side liquidity levels can be used to identify potential areas of inducement.

Buyer to Seller Volume (BSV) Indicator As promised, here is the buyer to seller volume indicator!
About it/How it works:
The indicator tracks buying and selling volume. It does it simplistically but effectively simply by looking at red vs green candles and averaging out the volume of each respective candle.
It uses the SMA of buying/selling and overall volume to track buyers to sellers and also display the average volume traded over a designated period of time.
Legend:
Green lines = buying volume
Red lines = selling volume
Yellow lines = SMA over designated period of time (user input defined, default is 14 candles).
Buyers are shown in green and sellers are shown in red:
How to Use it:
Default, the indicator goes to 1 Day, 14 candle period.
My preference personally is to use to have it go to "chart" but you can view any time period on the chart that you want and designate the time period of volume you want to view independently.
This can be used for:
1. Identify trends: When buying or selling volume is above selling volume and above the SMA, you know that this persuasively supports a bullish trend. Inverse for the opposite (see below):
2. To identify fakeouts and whether there is volume backing a move:
3. To identify potential changes in trends via a cross:
Its also a great reference when you are unsure of a move. This indicator literally just saved me from wrongfully shorting the FOMC bear flag today:
Probably many other uses you can find, but these are the things I like to use it for!
As always, I have posted a tutorial video for your reference:
As always though, if you have any questions, comments or suggestions for the indicator, please share them below!
Safe trades and best of luck to all!
CroSel Indicator ToolboxA value-packed or all-in-one indicator. The main one is probably the algorithmic signal. I have noticed a few trading groups that rely solely on their algo trading signals. I have derived my own using MACD . I find that it works better or just as good as what I have seen. The others indicators are also very powerful and could even be used on a stand alone basis. There are different variations included. I wanted to provide 10x the value at whatever price I would put on this. However I think I've provided at least 20x the expected value. What I like about this is that with more signals, we can visually see confluence. In turn, that should give us traders confidence. The follow is a list of all the indicators I've included so far:
How to use (for all indicators): I suggest using these trade signals as confluence for the main algorithmic trade signals. Aside from MACD and RSI , there are a limited number of signals, but they will all show up within the most recent bars that have passed. Buy when green/lime and sell when red/fuchsia. I suggest experimenting with the the different modes to see what you believe works best for your trading style.
I prefer to use the last signal provided, but I also like to rely on looking at signals as a group, if they are all rising, I'm bullish ; if they are all falling, I'm bearish .
Note on Color Scheme: Red/Fuchsia color means to short/sell and green/lime color means to long/buy.
- Algorithmic signal - provides trade signals. How to use: When there is a green arrow up, it means you should go long. When there is a red arrow down, it means you should exit your long or short sell. If the arrow is lime colored, it means the stock is trending upwards and if the arrow is fuchsia, it means the stock is trending downwards.
- Band and hit count - provides bands to track volatility , as well as tracks the number of times the price hits the upper or lower bands. It also provides candle-to-candle slope as a %. How to use: You can use this to play the odds in your favor. For example: if a stock hits the upper bands 13 times during the morning, and then hits the lower bands 4 times afterwards and then moves upwards away from the lower bands towards the middle of the bands, from here we may be able to say that since 13 is greater than 4, that the stock price may rise again and start hitting the upper bands. Another way I like to use this indicator, is if a stock hits the upper bands more than 16 to 20 times, I like to exit the trade before it has a chance to drop. Lastly, there are zones where a stock price will go above or below 100% or 0% respectively. For example, a stock starts to hit the 110% area of the bands. This could be an excellent time to sell/short the stock.
- Volume surge - provides signals of when volume is increasing/decreasing depending on the color and direction. How to use: Gives you confidence that the price will rise higher/lower.
- EMA 5 & 10 - It is the exponential moving average of the past 5 or 10 bars. It will be either be red or green depending on the slope. How to use: I like to use it as if it were a trend line (which I like to call slanted support/resistance ). For example, if I buy a stock and it falls below EMA 10 I will generally sell the stock, and if it rises past EMA 5 I will generally buy the stock.
- Background color - Background color shows whether the stock is bullish or bearish . If it is green/red, it is slightly bullish / bearish respectively. If it is lime/fuchsia, it is very bullish / bearish respectively. How to use: Take long positions if the background color is greenish(i.e. green/lime) and take short position if the background color is reddish (i.e.red/fuchsia). Please bear in mind, background color will look slightly different if you are already coloring the extended hour session backgrounds.
- Channel Breakout Lines - These lines show the rigid channel that the stock will travel through. How to use: Watch a stock that is in a channel, if it is going up, watch the red dotted line which extends into the future,
if it the stock falls below that previous red dotted line you should sell/short the stock. If a stock is going down, watch the green dotted line, and if the stock goes past the previous green dotted line, you should buy.
- MACD - Moving Average Convergence and Divergence provides trade signals. How to use: 1 turns it off. 2 provides the classic, buy and sell signals based on when the MACD line crosses over or under the signal line. 3 provides faster trade
signals. 4 provides the algorithmic signals. All variations can change according to Algo sensitivity and Algo Signal speed since the algo uses MACD as it's base.
- RSI - Relative Strength Index provides trade signals. How to use: 1 turn it off, 2 turns on and provides the buy and sell signals for above 70 and below 30 RSI respectively. 3 and 4 provide slow and fast RSI trade signals respectively.
4 is my favorite and can be used to provide confluence.
- VWAP - Volume Weighted Average Price . a 2 value is the regular vwap line. A value of 3 or 4 will show that the VWAP line or fill from line until the close is colored
according to slope of EMA 5. How to use: Buy below the VWAP if it shows some support and sell/Short above if it shows some resistance. When the color is red it will show the
- ROC - Rate of Change trade signals. Take note of the circle shaped symbols. Normal mode shows you when the rate of change has crossed the zero line; this can be a very bullish or bearish signal. 3rd mode will gives signals based on whether ROC has stopped making new highs or new lows. 4th mode gives the fastest signals, making it the least risky.
- MFI - Money Flow Index trade Signals. Take note of the Long arrow symbols. Modes work as described.
- BOP - Balance of power trade signals. Take note of the square symbols. The simple mode provides only the biggest trade signals, and the complex mode provides both the biggest and smallest trade signals.
- OBV - A running total of positive and negative volume . Take note of the diamond shaped symbols. Slow signals are really slow. Fast signals are really fast. Use according to your trading speed preference.
- Stochastics - A momentum oscillator that provides trade signals. Take note of the plus shaped symbols and factor them into your judgement on when to trade.
- CCI - Commodity Channel Index trade signals based on momentum. Take note of the X symbols.
- CMF - Chaikin Money Flow trade signals. Take note of the flag symbols.
- ADX - ADX is a component of the Directional Movement System developed by Welles Wilder. When it says to buy, I suggest that you go long, and then before it says to sell you try to sell. And then you can also try to go long before it says to buy. As soon as I see buy, I want to be in the stock and conversely, when I see sell I want to be out of it.
- Price-Volume Divergence - This indicator is a candle by candle indicator which shows that if volume is rising and price is falling, then there is bullish divergence , Conversely if price is rising and volume is falling there is bearish divergence. This a leading indicator.
- Ichimoku Clouds - This indicator just shows the clouds in the Ichimoku cloud system. It can be used to buy under the clouds and sell over the clouds. It can also be used as a possible support/resistance level during an uptrend/downtrend respectively.
- PSAR - Parabolic Stop and Reverse . Denotes uptrends/downtrends, by multiple dotted lines. You can use it by buying/selling when it breaks out of a downtrend/uptrend respectively. Or you can use it to sell/buy during an uptrend/downtrend respectively. Warning: it is generally slow. I find that it's very reliable from a 5 minute perspective.
- Fibonacci levels - People generally use Fibonacci levels for retracement for when a stock pulls back. I personally like to use it as a predictive tool along with looking at the slope. If the slope is negative/positive and moving away/near from 50% line then, I would be bearish / bullish respectively.
- Moving Average ( EMA and SMA ) lines - Exponential moving average and Smooth moving average lines. EMA lines move faster and SMA lines move slower. I like to use these lines as trend lines which can tell me if there is an uptrend or downtrend. The strength of the trend is shown by the distance away from the slowest EMA / SMA lines. I like to sell when it's far above the trendline, and buy when it's closer to the trendline. Be weary of the price crossing trendlines .
- Information Panel - (Price location, Trend Strength, Volatilty Ratio, Current State, Reversal/Continuation Odds): Mode 2 will give you basic price location info. Mode 3 is my favorite and will give you the most info. and Mode 4 will give you the Schwager volatility ratio which can help with stock selection; the higher the ratio, the more movement can be expected.
- Support & Resistance levels - Horizontal dotted lines which show the stock price and where it experiences support/resistance . Can be used in many ways. I like to use it by counting the number of support/resistance lines provided and if support lines exceed resistance lines, I will be more likely to go long.
- Candle Colors - Overlay a color onto the Candles. Note: I encourage the use of Heiken Ashi which helps a lot with low volume candles. Candles can be colored according to their location within the bands, and also according to a trailing stop loss based on Average True Range . Buy low, sell high for the location mode and for the stop loss mode, selling/buying is encouraged when the bars go completely red/green respectively.
- Linear Regression - Draws a (black) line of best fit, and shows 2 standard deviations away from the line of best fit above(red) and below(green). I suggest buying/selling below/above the line of best fit respectively. Strong buys or sells generally occur below or above the standard deviation lines respectively.
Power Trader Study The Power Trader is an indicator based around the Balance of Power Oscillator. Balance of Power is a price-based measurement that evaluates and compares the strength of buyers and sellers by assessing their respective abilities to push prices to extreme points(both extreme highs and extreme lows).
BoP values fluctuate between a maximum value of 100 and a minimum value of -100. When the BoP value is greater than 0, it indicates that buying pressure is greater than selling pressure. Conversely, negative BoP readings mean that selling pressure is greater than buying pressure.
The exponential moving average of Balance of Power values is displayed as a gray line on the chart. The upper red line represents the upper bound at which a security is considered overbought. The lower green line represents the threshold where we start to consider a security to be in an oversold state.
When the gray BoP EMA line crosses below the lower green line, it changes color to green then changes back to gray once it crosses back above that lower threshold. Similarly, the line turns red when it crosses above the upper red line.
When the EMA line is between the upper and lower bounds, it signifies that there is no significant difference between the power of buyers versus the power of sellers. The top red area indicates that the amount of buying pressure is relatively high. The lower green area means that selling pressure is abnormally high.
When the BoP line falls between the red and green areas, do not take action. When the BoP line turns green and is inside the green area, enter a long position. When the BoP line rises above the red line and into the upper red area, exit the long position.
Entry signals are displayed as vertical green lines that extend the length of the chart. Exit signals are represented by the same lines, except in red.
Users can decide the order of signals in the input option menu through the ‘allow repeat signals’ parameter. If this is set to false, the study will generate signals in the logical chronologic order of . If it is set to true, then signals will be generated as they come, regardless of whether the last signal was its inverse. This means that it could generate sequences like this for example .
Additionally, the stop and limit can also be set in the input menu through the ‘stop’ and ‘limit’ options. This input option accepts parameters of type float (ie: numbers that contain decimals).
The 'Upper Bound for BoP Values' and 'Lower Bound for BoP Values' input options gives traders the option to adjust the upper and lower thresholds for buy and sell signals. It is important to note that setting the upper bound higher or the lower bound lower will result in less frequent signals (and vice versa).
When it is time to enter a long position, an alert with the following message is sent “Power Trader - High Sell Pressure, Enter Long”.
When it is time to exit a long position, an alert with the following message is sent “Power Trader - High Buy Pressure, Exit Long”.

™TradeChartist Entry/Exit Indicator™TradeChartist Entry/Exit Indicator is an easy to use indicator that plots very high probability BUY and SELL signals on the chart along with an optional dynamic trigger line for SELL and BUY which can be used as a reference for Stop Loss/ Trailing Stop Loss.
What does the ™TradeChartist Entry/Exit Indicator do?
Plots very high probability BUY and SELL signals on chart
Plots dynamic BUY or SELL trigger lines that can be used to
---------1. Set Stop Loss reference or Trailing Stop Loss.
---------2. Anticipate change in trend/momentum when price breaches the trigger line.
Plots BUY and SELL price lines which are Candle open prices when BUY/SELL signals are posted.
Alert traders when BUY/SELL signal is generated and Trigger for BUY/SELL is breached.
Plots Background vertical Signal break lines at BUYs in green and at SELLs in red.
Plots % Gains based on candle close in real-time and based on candle high for BUY/candle low for SELL on previous candles calculated from the candle open price at BUY/SELL.
Plots RSI colour candles based on user preferred Overbought and Oversold RSI levels from indicator settings.
Paints background colour for BUY and SELL zones which can be changed from indicator settings under Style tab to personalise the chart screen.
What markets can this indicator be used on?
Forex
Stocks
Commodities
Cryptocurrencies
and almost any asset on Trading View
Works really well when there is good volume, volatility or both in the asset observed/traded.
Does this indicator repaint?
No and Yes
Once the confirmed BUY (in green) and SELL (in red) signals are posted after a candle close, it doesn't repaint.
Repainting happens for real time BUY and SELL trigger plots on the current candle as price tries to breach the trigger line.
For confirmed BUY and SELL alerts, use alerts on candle close. Real-time BUY and SELL trigger alerts can also be set.
Does the indicator send alerts when a signal is generated?
Yes, traders can get alerts by setting Trading View alerts for BUY/SELL Signals and BUY/SELL Triggers. For confirmed BUY/SELL alerts, 'Once per bar close' must be used.
Why are there two Signal Generator types in the indicator settings?
The two types of signal generators cater to almost all types of traders and trade types. Some assets perform well with Type 1 and some assets with Type 2. Also some traders prefer Type 1 and some prefer Type 2 based on variation in frequency of signals on the asset observed. Both types can be used along with 'Use Heikin Ashi Candles' from the indicator settings to have more combinations to test on an asset for maximising gains.
Type 1 on GBPUSD 1hr chart
Type 2 on GBPUSD 1hr chart
Type 1 normally works well with most types of assets.
Should the indicator be used on normal candles or Heikin Ashi candles?
The indicator can be used on either of the candle types. If signals from Heikin Ashi chart needs to be plotted on normal chart, just check 'Use Heikin Ashi Candles' from indicator settings. It may not be exact, but very close as it mimics Heikin Ashi chart trend.
Heikin Ashi charts are recommended to spot trends and reversals but they don't reflect real OHLC values in the candles, so BUY/SELL entry price points may not be ideal using Heikin Ashi charts especially when there are gaps in price action (example Stocks, FOREX, Commodities). For real OHLC prices and to know exact price points for entering/exiting trade, use normal candlestick charts. It is purely for this reason Heikin Ashi chart signals can be mimicked on normal candles using 'Use Heikin Ashi Candles' option from settings without having to switch between the two.
It can be seen from the GOLD 1hr charts above (Heikin Ashi on left and normal candlestick chart on right), the indicator mimics signals sensibly (not copy) and doesn't use same entry values as Heikin Ashi chart to aid the trader with practical trade execution.
How do the Trigger Lines work and should they be used?
Trigger for BUY/SELL lines are coded to adapt to bull and bear power in the asset trading environment and helps the trader to anticipate change in trend based on direction of price momentum when enabled from indicator settings (On by default). Traders can use trigger lines as reference for Stop Loss points. For example, when a BUY signal is posted, the 'Trigger for SELL' can be used as initial Stop Loss reference and as price starts going up, the trigger line starts moving up enabling the trader to use it as a trailing stop loss point which helps secure or lock profits as they act as ideal support/resistance lines based on the type of trade too. BUY/SELL Trigger lines can be enabled or disabled from indicator settings 'Inputs' tab.
Also, the trigger lines can alert traders to anticipate change in trend/momentum when price hits them and it helps them take a position, either Long or Short when confirmed BUY/SELL signal is posted. As price tries to breach the trigger lines, they change from 'Trigger to BUY/SELL' to 'BUY/SELL Triggered' as shown below on 1hr Gold chart. This feature is coded purely to signal the trader a potential change in trend/momentum. The trigger lines also act as strong support/resistance so only a confirmed close above them will ensure a High Probability Trade.
It should also be noted that price tends to test the BUY/SELL trigger lines to see if a breach is possible. A rejection at trigger lines could mean trend continuation in the signal direction. Traders could use other trend indicators like Ichimoku cloud, stoch, TRIX etc. to make an informed trade decision here. In the chart below, the 'BUY triggered' label has changed back to 'Trigger for BUY' as price failed to close above it.
What is the use of 'Plot BUY/SELL Price Line'?
Enabling BUY/SELL price line from settings (On by default) plots the price line corresponding to candle open when BUY/SELL signals were posted on the chart by the indicator. Open price is used as it is close to the trigger lines and is a fair reference point for indicator to calculate the gains plot on chart since BUY/SELL signals.
Can trade gains be plotted on chart and how are they calculated?
To show percentage gains on chart, just enable 'Show % Gains on Chart' from indicator settings (Off by default). As explained above, % gains are calculated from BUY/SELL candle Open price to high (for Long trades) or low (for Short trades) and to current candle close (for both Long and Short trades) as it helps see real-time gains from BUY/SELL candle Open price. The % gains are plotted as below.
0 - 0.75% - ↑ in green
0.75-1.5% - 1% in green
1.51-2.5% - 2% in green
2.51-3.5% - 3% in green
3.51-4.5% - 4% in green
4.51-5.5% - 5% in green
5.51-10.5% - 5+% in green
10.51-20% - 10+% in green
20+% - 20+% in green
Down from Entry - ↓ in red
What are RSI Colour Candles?
RSI Colour Candles are visual candle plots in colour (Blue when RSI>60, Yellow when RSI<30 and On by default) that help trades spot RSI levels at a glance visually from the chart in real-time without the need for another indicator on screen. Traders can also choose the source to be used for plotting RSI colour candles from indicator settings input tab and change candle colours from indicator settings style tab. The length for RSI calculation is 14 and works well for almost any trading scenario and cannot be changed from indicator settings. The default overbought RSI is set at 60 as it helps spot momentum increase and big moves happen above 60 RSI. When deciding to sell or buy, RSI can be tuned from settings to spot decent entry or exit. For example, RSI>80 on a red Heikin Ashi candle (blue body and red border) after an uptrend could signal potential sell-off or RSI<30 on a green Heikin Ashi candle (yellow body and green border) after a down trend could signal a good move up. In the example daily chart of RVN-BTC below, RSI>75 on a red Heikin Ashi candle signalled a potential sell off way before the actual SELL signal plot on chart.
What is the use of Signal Break Line Plot and Paint Background options from indicator settings?
Signal break lines can be useful if traders prefer to switch off BUY/SELL signals from indicator settings to show where previous signals were generated. (On by default)
Paint Background is just a nice to have feature that paints the signal zones to personalise the chart screen. (Off by default). The background paint colours can be changed from indicator settings style tab.
4hr SPX chart below showcases the difference when the Signal Break Lines and Background Paint options are used with BUY/SELL signals switched off.
Important Note:
When using this indicator on a chart, check 'Scale Price Chart Only' and 'Auto (Fits Data to Screen)' by clicking on settings wheel on the bottom right under the chart screen as shown below. If not checked, the chart screen will look like one on the left as shown below.

[Stoxello] Linear Regression Chop Zone Indicator📊 Linear Regression Chop Zone Indicator – Description
The Stoxello Linear Regression Chop Zone Indicator is a custom-built, multi-functional visual tool for identifying market trend direction, strength, and potential entry/exit signals using a combination of linear regression, EMA slope angles, and volatility-adjusted smoothing.
🧠 Core Features:
🔶 1. Chop Zone Color Coding (Trend Strength via EMA Angle)
The script calculates the angle of a 34-period EMA, representing momentum and trend steepness.
This angle is then translated into color-coded bars on the chart to help traders visually identify chop zones and trend strength.
Turquoise / Dark Green / Pale Green = Increasing bullish trend.
Lime / Yellow = Neutral or low momentum (choppy zones).
Orange / Red / Dark Red = Increasing bearish trend.
🔶 2. Linear Regression Deviation Channels (Trend Path)
A custom linear regression line is drawn with +/- deviation bands above and below it.
These lines track the expected price path and visually define upper/lower zones, similar to regression channels.
The correlation (R) and determination (R²) values are displayed as labels on the chart, measuring the strength and reliability of the linear fit.
🔶 3. Linear Regression-Adjusted EMA (Smoothing with Volatility)
A novel volatility-adaptive EMA is computed by combining a traditional EMA with distance from a linear regression line.
The result is a dynamic EMA that becomes more reactive in volatile conditions and smoother in stable ones.
Two lines are plotted:
Primary EMA (Yellow)
Trigger Line (Lagged by 2 bars, Fuchsia)
The fill color between these two helps visualize short-term bullish or bearish pressure.
🔶 4. Buy/Sell Signal Logic with De-Duplication
Buy signals are triggered when:
The adjusted EMA crosses above its previous value (bullish inflection).
Or when the EMA angle exceeds +5° (strong trend detected).
Sell signals occur when:
The adjusted EMA crosses below its previous value.
Each signal is deduplicated by tracking the last signal using var string lastSignal:
No repeat buys after a buy, or sells after a sell.
Signals are marked on the chart using clean text labels:
Buy: "•Entry• = Price"
Sell: "•Exit• = Price"
🔶 5. Alerts
Two alertconditions are included for:
BUY signals (long_signal)
SELL signals (short_signal)
Can be used with webhooks, email, or app notifications to automate or monitor trades.
🔍 Ideal Use Cases:
Traders who want a clear visual aid for market chop vs. trend.
Swing or intraday traders looking for adaptive entry/exit points.
Anyone combining regression analysis and momentum tracking into one indicator.
Polarity-VoVix Fusion Index (PVFI) Polarity-VoVix Fusion Index (PVFI) - Order Flow and Volatility Regime Detector
The PVFI is a next-generation indicator that fuses the Order Flow Polarity Index (OFPI) with a proprietary VoVix Volume Delta (VVD) engine. This tool is designed for traders who want to see not just how much volume is trading, but who is in control and how volatility is shifting beneath the surface.
What Makes PVFI Standout from the rest?
- Dual Engine: PVFI combines two advanced signals:
* OFPI: Measures real-time buy/sell pressure using candle body position and volume, then smooths it with a T3 moving average for clarity and responsiveness.
* VVD: Captures the "volatility of volume delta" - a normalized, memory-boosted measure of aggressive buying/selling, with a custom non-linear clamp for organic, non-pegged signals.
- Visual Clarity: Neon-glow OFPI line and shadowed, color-gradient VVD area make regime shifts and momentum instantly visible.
- Adaptive Dashboard: Toggle between a full-featured dashboard (desktop) and a compact info line (mobile) for seamless use on any device.
- Universal: Works on any asset - crypto, stocks, futures, forex - and any timeframe.
- No Chart Clutter: Clean, modern visuals and toggles for a pro look.
Inputs:
OFPI Lookback Length (ofpi_len): Sets the window for order flow pressure calculation. Shorter = more sensitive, longer = smoother. For scalping, try 5-10. For swing trading, 15-30. Crypto often benefits from shorter windows due to volatility.
OFPI T3 Smoothing Length (t3_len): Controls the smoothness of the OFPI line. Lower = more responsive, higher = smoother. Use 3-7 for fast markets, 8-15 for slow or higher timeframes.
OFPI T3 Volume Factor (t3_vf): Adjusts the T3’s sensitivity. Higher = more responsive, lower = more stable. 0.6-0.8 is typical. Raise for more “snappy” signals, lower for less noise.
VVD Delta Lookback (delta_len): Sets the window for VVD’s volume delta calculation. 10-20 for most assets. Shorter for high-volatility, longer for slow markets.
VVD Volatility Normalization Length (vol_norm_len): Normalizes VVD by recent volume. 15-30 is typical. Use higher for assets with wild volume swings.
VVD Momentum Memory (momentum_mem): Adds a “memory” boost to VVD, amplifying persistent buying/selling. 2-5 is common. Lower for choppy markets, higher for trending.
Show Dashboard (showDash): Toggles the full dashboard table (best for desktop). Turn off for a minimalist or mobile setup.
Show Compact Info Line (showInfoLabel): Toggles a single-line info label (best for mobile). Turn on for mobile or minimalist setups.
How PVFI Works:
- OFPI Calculation: Splits each candle’s volume into buy/sell pressure based on where the close is within the range. Aggregates over your chosen lookback, then smooths with a T3 moving average for a neon, lag-minimized signal.
- VVD Calculation: Measures the “aggression” of volume (body-weighted), normalizes by recent volume, and applies a memory boost for persistent trends. Uses a custom tanh clamp for a natural, non-pegged range.
- Visuals: OFPI is plotted as a neon line (with glow). VVD is a color-gradient area with a soft shadow, instantly showing regime shifts.
- Dashboard/Info Line: Desktop: Full dashboard with all key stats, color-coded and branded. Mobile: Compact info line with arrows for quick reads.
How you'll use PVFI:
- Bullish OFPI (Teal Neon, Up Arrow): Buyers are dominating. Look for breakouts, trend continuations, or confirmation with your own system.
- Bearish OFPI (Green Neon, Down Arrow): Sellers are in control. Watch for breakdowns or short setups.
- VVD Positive (Teal Area): Aggressive buying is increasing. Confirm with price action.
- VVD Negative (Purple Area): Aggressive selling is increasing. Use for risk management or short bias.
- Neutral/Flat: Market is balanced or indecisive. Consider waiting for a clear regime shift.
- Dashboard/Info Line: Use the dashboard for full context, or the info line for a quick glance on mobile.
Tips:
- For scalping, use lower lookbacks and smoothing.
- For swing trading, increase lookbacks and smoothing for stability.
- Works on all assets and timeframes - tune to your style.
Why PVFI is Unique:
- Fusion of Order Flow and Volatility: No other indicator combines body-based order flow with a volatility-of-volume delta, both visualized with modern, pro-grade graphics.
- Adaptive, Not Static: PVFI adapts to market regime, not just price movement.
- Mobile-Ready: Dashboard and info line toggles for any device.
- No Chart Clutter: Clean, color-coded, and easy to read.
For Educational Use Only
PVFI is a research and educational tool, not financial advice. Always use proper risk management and combine with your own strategy.
Trade with clarity. Trade with edge.

Volume Aggression Monitor📌 Volume Aggression Monitor — Overview
This indicator helps identify buying and selling pressure (aggression) in real-time by analyzing how market participants are executing trades. It is composed of three main components:
🔍 What Does It Show?
🧭 1. The Thermometer (Above Candles)
🟢 Green Arrow (▲) → Buy Aggression: Buyers are lifting the ask.
🔴 Red Arrow (▼) → Sell Aggression: Sellers are hitting the bid.
⚪ Gray Square (■) → Neutral: No significant price movement or aggression.
💡 Neutral in this context means:
The price barely moved during the candle (open-close % change < direction_threshold, default 0.05%).
No clear buyer or seller dominance. It often appears during low volatility, equilibrium, or market indecision periods. This prevents noise and false directional readings due to random micro-movements.
📊 2. Percentage Panel
A table displaying recent trades or candle data (from a lower timeframe). Colored arrows indicate the direction of aggression (buy/sell). Shows volume, delta, and aggression %.
✅ Use it to:
Track clusters of buy/sell aggression. Spot momentum builds.
⏱️ 3. Cumulative Times & Sales Bar
A horizontal progress bar representing cumulative aggression.
Positive = Buy Aggression dominates.
Negative = Sell Aggression dominates.
📉 Even in sideways price movement, this bar shows who is winning the fight under the surface.
---
🧠 How to Use It:
🔹 Confirm Trades
Use the thermometer and aggression signals to confirm your strategy entries (e.g., breakouts, pullbacks, support/resistance).
🔹 Detect Dominance
Observe who is in control: buyers or sellers? Are they pressing or hesitating?
🔹 Filter Market Noise
The neutral state avoids misinterpreting small, meaningless movements as strong signals.

Component | Meaning
🌡️ Thermometer (▲ ▼ ■) | Who’s in control in each candle
📊 Percentage Panel | Trade details: direction, delta, aggression
📈 Cumulative T&S Bar | Overall aggression bias over time

Combined + Reversal By DemirkanThis indicator is a comprehensive tool designed to identify potential trend reversals, trend direction, and entry/exit points by combining multiple technical analysis instruments. It includes the following components:
Two Reversal Lines (Based on Donchian Channel): Two lines with different periods indicate potential support/resistance levels and trend changes.
Hull Moving Average (HMA): A smoother, less lagging moving average helps determine trend direction and short-term momentum.
Fibonacci Level: A dynamic Fibonacci retracement level, calculated based on the highest high and lowest low over a specific period, serves as a potential support or area of interest.
Signal Generation: Produces Buy/Sell signals based on the crossovers and conditions of these components.
Visual Aids: Enhances interpretation by coloring the area between lines, coloring candlesticks, and adding labels.
Detailed Component Description:
Input Parameters (Settings):
Reversal Line 1 Length (Default: 100): The period (number of bars) used to calculate the first reversal line. Longer periods capture slower, more significant trends.
Reversal Line 2 Length (Default: 33): The period used to calculate the second reversal line. Shorter periods react to faster, shorter-term changes.
HMA Length (Default: 100): The period for calculating the Hull Moving Average.
Source (Default: close): The price source used for all calculations (close, open, high, low, etc.).
Reversal Line Bar Offset (Default: 3): Determines how many bars forward the Reversal Lines are shifted on the chart. This can make signals appear slightly earlier (or later, depending on the strategy). 0 means no shift.
Fibonacci Level (Default: 0.382): Specifies the Fibonacci retracement level (between 0.0 and 1.0). Common levels like 0.382, 0.5, 0.618 can be used.
Lookback Period (Default: 20): The period (number of bars) over which to look back for the highest high and lowest low to calculate the Fibonacci level.
Price Margin (Default: 0.005): Tolerance (as a percentage) determining how close the price needs to be to the Fibonacci level to be considered "at the level". E.g., 0.005 = 0.5%. If the price is within 0.5% of the calculated Fibonacci level, the condition is met.
Calculations:
donchian(len) Function: Calculates the average (math.avg) of the highest high (ta.highest) and lowest low (ta.lowest) over a specific period (len). This is effectively the midline of a classic Donchian Channel and is used here as the "Reversal Line".
Reversal Lines (conversionLine1, conversionLine2): Calculated using the donchian function based on the user-defined conversionPeriods1 and conversionPeriods2 lengths.
Hull Moving Average (hullMA): Calculated using the hma function. This function uniquely combines Weighted Moving Averages (WMA) to achieve less lag.
Fibonacci Level Calculation (fibLevel1, isAtFibLevel): Finds the highest high and lowest low within the lookbackPeriod, calculates the range (priceRange). fibLevel1 is determined by subtracting priceRange * fibLevel from the highest high (representing a retracement level). isAtFibLevel checks if the current closing price is within the priceMargin tolerance of the calculated fibLevel1.
Visual Elements (Plots/Drawing):
plot(conversionLine1 , ...): Plots the first reversal line in blue, shifted forward by barOffset.
plot(conversionLine2 , ...): Plots the second reversal line in black, shifted forward by barOffset.
plot(hullMA, ...): Plots the Hull Moving Average in orange.
plot(fibLevel1, ...): Plots the calculated Fibonacci level as a light blue, dashed line.
fill(...): Fills the area between the two (shifted) reversal lines. The area is colored blue if conversionLine1 > conversionLine2 (often interpreted as bullish) and red otherwise (bearish). The color transparency is set to 90 (almost opaque).
label.*: Adds labels at trend change points. A "Buy" label appears when the area turns blue (Line 1 crosses above Line 2), and a "Sell" label appears when it turns red (Line 1 crosses below Line 2). Labels appear once when the trend starts and are updated/deleted when the trend changes.
plotshape(...): Plots shapes (arrows/labels) on the chart when specific conditions are met:
Reversal Crossover Signals: A green up arrow (shape.labelup) appears when conversionLine2 crosses above conversionLine1 (Buy Signal - buySignal). A red down arrow (shape.labeldown) appears when conversionLine1 crosses below conversionLine2 (Sell Signal - sellSignal).
Hull MA Signals: A green up arrow (hullBuySignal) appears when the price closes above the HMA after being below it. A red down arrow (hullSellSignal) appears when the price closes below the HMA after being above it.
Fibonacci Buy Signal: A purple up arrow (fibBuySignal) appears when both the price is near the calculated Fibonacci level (isAtFibLevel) and a Hull MA Buy signal (hullBuySignal) occurs simultaneously. This signifies a "confluence" signal.
barcolor(...): Changes the color of the candlesticks. Bars turn blue on a Hull MA Buy signal (hullBuySignal) and red on a Hull MA Sell signal (hullSellSignal). Otherwise, the bar color remains the default chart color.
How to Use / Interpret:
Trend Direction:
Observe the color of the filled area between the reversal lines (Blue = Uptrend, Red = Downtrend).
Note whether the price is above or below the Hull MA.
Consider the slope of the Hull MA (upward or downward).
Entry/Exit Signals:
Aggressive: Use the crossovers of the reversal lines (buySignal, sellSignal). Green arrow suggests buy, red arrow suggests sell.
Trend Following: Use the HMA crossovers (hullBuySignal, hullSellSignal). Green arrow suggests buy, red arrow suggests sell. The bar colors also confirm these signals visually.
Confirmed Buy: Look for the Fibonacci Buy Signal (Purple arrow). When the price reaches a potential support level (Fibonacci) and simultaneously gets an HMA Buy signal, it can be considered a stronger buy indication.
Support/Resistance:
The reversal lines themselves can act as dynamic support/resistance levels.
The plotted Fibonacci level (fibLevel1) can be monitored as a potential retracement and support zone.
Strategy:
Confluence (multiple signals aligning) can increase confidence. For example, a buySignal or hullBuySignal occurring while the HMA is pointing up and the fill area is blue might be considered stronger.
Adjust the barOffset parameter to fine-tune the timing of the visual signals according to your trading style.
Use the Fibonacci Buy signal to potentially find entry points after pullbacks in an uptrend or near potential bottoms after a decline.
Important Notes:
No single indicator provides 100% accurate signals. It's crucial to use this indicator in conjunction with other analysis methods (price action, chart patterns, volume, etc.) and sound risk management strategies.
The indicator's performance might vary in different market conditions (trending, sideways) and across different timeframes. Backtesting before live trading is recommended.
The barOffset value shifts the plotting of the lines forward visually but does not change the time at which the underlying calculation occurs (it's still based on the data up to the current closing bar).
Market Push Meter - CoffeeStyleMarket Push Meter - CoffeeKiller Indicator Guide
Welcome traders! This guide will walk you through the Market Push Meter indicator, a sophisticated volume analysis tool developed by CoffeeKiller with the help and assistance of FindBetterTrades that measures and visualizes the ongoing battle between buyers and sellers through volume pressure analysis.
🔔 **Warning: This Is Not a Standard Volume Indicator** 🔔 This indicator analyzes volume pressure in a unique way, combining directional volume with price action to identify market imbalances between buyers and sellers. All credit for the core logic for this indicator goes to FindBetterTrades and his/hers Volume Pressure Histogram (Normalized) (this is my adaptation and style added to that core logic, thus the CoffeeStyle name was added).
Core Concept: Volume Pressure Analysis
The foundation of this indicator lies in measuring the imbalance between buying and selling volume, providing insights into which market participants are exerting more pressure on price movements.
Volume Pressure Columns: Buying vs Selling Force
- Positive Green Columns: Net buying pressure
- Negative Red Columns: Net selling pressure
- Color intensity varies based on pressure strength
- Special coloring for new high/low boundaries
Marker Lines: Dynamic Support/Resistance
- High Marker Line (Magenta): Tracks the highest point reached during buying phases
- Low Marker Line (Cyan): Tracks the lowest point reached during selling phases
- Creates visual boundaries showing pressure extremes
Peak Detection System:
- Triangular markers identify significant local maxima and minima
- Background highlighting shows important pressure peaks
- Helps identify potential reversal points and pressure exhaustion
Reference Lines:
- Overbought Level: Threshold for extreme selling pressure
- Oversold Level: Threshold for extreme buying pressure
- Used to identify potential reversal zones
Core Components
1. Volume Pressure Calculation
- Separation of up-volume and down-volume
- Calculation of net volume pressure
- Smoothing for consistent visualization
- Normalization against total volume for percentage scaling
2. Boundary Tracking System
- Automatic detection of highest values in buying phases
- Automatic detection of lowest values in selling phases

Trading Applications
1. Trend Identification
- Volume pressure crossing above zero: buying pressure emerging
- Volume pressure crossing below zero: selling pressure emerging
- Column color: indicates pressure direction
- Column height: indicates pressure strength
- Signal line: confirms overall trend direction
2. Reversal Detection
- Peak triangles after extended trend: potential exhaustion
- Background highlighting: significant reversal points
- Volume pressure approaching marker lines: potential trend change
- Color shifts from bright to muted: decreasing pressure
- Readings beyond overbought/oversold levels: potential reversal zones
3. Pressure Analysis
- Breaking above previous high boundary: accelerating buying pressure
- Breaking below previous low boundary: accelerating selling pressure
- Special coloring (magenta/cyan): boundary breaks indicating strength
- Extreme readings: potential climactic buying/selling
4. Market Structure Assessment
- Consecutive higher peaks: strengthening buying structure
- Consecutive lower troughs: strengthening selling structure
- Peak comparisons: relative strength of pressure phases
- Boundary line steps: market structure levels
Optimization Guide
1. Volume Analysis Settings
- Volume MA Length: Default 25 provides balanced signals
- Lower values (10-15): More responsive, potentially noisier
- Higher values (30-50): Smoother, fewer false signals
- Signal Smoothing Length: Default 8 provides good balance
- Lower values: More responsive to pressure changes
- Higher values: Smoother trend identification
2. Threshold Settings
- Extreme Threshold Multiplier: Default 20.0
- Lower values: More signals, potentially more noise
- Higher values: Fewer signals, but more significant
- Overbought/Oversold Levels: Defaults at 20/-20
- Adjust based on instrument volatility
- Wider settings for more volatile instruments
3. Visual Customization
- Marker Line Colors: Adjust for visibility on your chart
- Peak Marker Color: Default yellow provides good contrast
- Enable/disable background highlights based on preference
- Consider log scale for instruments with wide volume ranges
4. Alert Settings
- Configure alerts for high buying pressure
- Configure alerts for high selling pressure
- Set additional alerts for zero-line crosses
- Consider timeframe when setting alert sensitivity
Best Practices
1. Signal Confirmation
- Wait for zero-line crosses to confirm pressure changes
- Look for peak formations to identify potential reversals
- Check for boundary breaks to confirm strong pressure
- Use with price action for entry/exit precision
- Consider extreme threshold crossings as significant signals
2. Timeframe Selection
- Lower timeframes: more signals, potential noise
- Higher timeframes: cleaner signals, less frequent
- Multiple timeframes: confirm signals across time horizons
- Match to your trading style and holding period
3. Market Context
- Strong buying phase: positive columns breaking above marker line
- Strong selling phase: negative columns breaking below marker line
- Columns approaching zero: potential pressure shift
- Columns beyond overbought/oversold: extreme conditions, potential reversal
4. Combining with Other Indicators
- Use with trend indicators for confirmation
- Pair with price action oscillators for divergence detection
- Combine with traditional volume indicators for validation
- Consider support/resistance levels with boundary lines
Advanced Trading Strategies
1. Boundary Break Strategy
- Enter long when volume pressure breaks above previous high marker line
- Enter short when volume pressure breaks below previous low marker line
- Use zero-line as initial stop-loss reference
- Take profits at formation of opposing peaks
2. Peak Trading Strategy
- Identify significant peaks with triangular markers
- Look for consecutive lower peaks in buying phases for shorting opportunities
- Look for consecutive higher troughs in selling phases for buying opportunities
- Use zero-line crosses as confirmation
3. Extreme Reading Strategy
- Look for volume pressure beyond overbought/oversold levels
- Watch for color changes and peak formations
- Enter counter-trend positions after confirmed peaks
- Use tight stops due to extreme market conditions
4. Volume Color Strategy
- Enter long when columns turn bright green (increasing buying pressure)
- Enter short when columns turn bright red (increasing selling pressure)
- Exit when color intensity fades (decreasing pressure)
- Use marker lines as dynamic support/resistance
Practical Analysis Examples
Bullish Market Scenario
- Volume pressure crosses above zero line
- Green columns grow in height and intensity
- High marker line forms steps upward
- Peak triangles appear at local maxima
- Background highlights appear at significant buying pressure peaks
Bearish Market Scenario
- Volume pressure crosses below zero line
- Red columns grow in depth and intensity
- Low marker line forms steps downward
- Peak triangles appear at local minima
- Background highlights appear at significant selling pressure troughs
Consolidation Scenario
- Volume pressure oscillates around zero line
- Column colors alternate frequently
- Marker lines remain relatively flat
- Few or no new peak highlights appear
- Pressure values remain small
Understanding Market Dynamics Through Market Push Meter
At its core, this indicator provides a unique lens to visualize market pressure through volume analysis:
1. Volume Imbalance: By separating and comparing buying volume (up candles) from selling volume (down candles), the indicator provides insights into which side is exerting more pressure in the market.
2. Normalized Pressure: The indicator normalizes volume pressure as a percentage of total volume, making it more comparable across different market conditions and instruments.
3. Dynamic Boundaries: The marker lines create a visual representation of the "high water marks" of pressure in both directions, helping to identify when markets are making new pressure extremes.
4. Exhaustion Signals: The peak detection system highlights moments where pressure has reached a local maximum or minimum, often precursors to reversals or consolidations.
Remember:
- Combine signals from volume pressure, marker lines, and peak formations
- Use appropriate timeframe settings for your trading style
- Customize the indicator to match your visual preferences and market
- Consider overall market conditions and correlate with price action
This indicator works best when:
- Used as part of a comprehensive trading system
- Combined with proper risk management
- Applied with an understanding of current market conditions
- Signals are confirmed by price action and other indicators
