MA Crossover Detector
The Moving Average Crossover Detector is a custom indicator that visually shows buy and sell signals clearly on the chart. based on the crossing of two moving averages — a popular and beginner-friendly tool in technical analysis.
It plots two moving averages — One fast (short period) and one slow (long period) — and highlights crossover points:
✅ Buy Signal (Golden Cross) – When the fast MA crosses above the slow MA.
❌ Sell Signal (Death Cross) – When the fast MA crosses below the slow MA.
✅ Features
Visual: Clearly shows crossovers on the chart.
Customizable: Choose periods, types, styles, etc.
Alert-ready: You can set alerts for crossovers.
The Moving Average (MA) Crossover Strategy is one of the simplest and most widely used strategies in technical analysis for trading stocks, forex, crypto, and other markets. It relies on the interaction between two moving averages to generate buy and sell signals.
Core Components
Short-Term Moving Average (Fast MA) : Reacts quickly to price changes (e.g., 9-period or 20-period).
Long-Term Moving Average (Slow MA) : Reacts more slowly to price changes (e.g., 21-period or 200-period).
How the Strategy Works
Bullish Crossover (Golden Cross):
Occurs when the fast MA crosses above the slow MA. Interpreted as a buy signal, indicating a potential uptrend.
Bearish Crossover (Death Cross):
Occurs when the fast MA crosses below the slow MA. Interpreted as a sell signal, indicating a potential downtrend.
Common Variants
Short-term trading
9 EMA
21 EMA
Swing trading
20 SMA
50 SMA
Long-term investing

Pros
Easy to understand and implement
Works well in trending markets
Can be automated for backtesting and execution
Cons
Lagging indicator: MAs are based on past prices, so signals come after the move has started.
Choppy markets = whipsaws: Generates false signals in sideways/range-bound conditions.
May underperform in volatile or mean-reverting environments
Tips for Improvement
Use confirmation tools : e.g., RSI, MACD, volume analysis, price action
Add filters : Trend filter (ADX), volatility filter (ATR), or time filter (session-based)
Combine with price structure : Support/resistance, breakouts, pullbacks

Hopiplaka's Twin Tower Levels (Variable multiplier)Indicator i made for myself to study and apply Hopiplaka's teachings (www.hopiplaka.com).
If you know what you are doing, you just need to enter the latest 3 fix prices manually in the options. Then select your circuit breaker multiplier (decimated 7% by default, but freely variable). Change the style of the indicator however you like.
I'm not a pro coder, i made this to play with it and add more ranges as i learn pine script v6. I just needed to change between multipliers on a session without messing with layers. Use it if you like it.

SMAs Ghost in the Machine v3SMAs Ghost in the Machine v3
Created by: MecarderoAurum
Overview
The "SMAs Ghost in the Machine" is a powerful multi-timeframe analysis tool designed for traders who want to align their entries and exits with the trend on several different chart periods simultaneously. At its core, the indicator plots the 9-period and 20-period Simple Moving Averages (SMAs) from up to three user-defined timeframes directly onto your active chart.
Its most powerful feature is the Combined Crossover Signal, which allows you to create highly specific, custom trading setups by defining conditions that must occur at the same time across any of the enabled timeframes. This eliminates guesswork and helps you visually confirm when your precise market conditions are met.
Important Note on Line Drawing
This indicator allows you to see trends of other timeframes. A specific design choice was made not to smooth the moving average lines. This is to ensure that the crossover signals appear on the exact candle where the cross occurs in real-time. Smoothing the lines can cause a delay and shift the signal to a later candle.
The side effect of this accuracy is that the lines will appear "stepped." As new data comes in on your current chart, you may need to refresh the chart to keep the higher timeframe lines updated. We are working on a solution to this.
Capabilities
Multi-Timeframe Analysis: Plot the 9 and 20 SMAs from three different timeframes (e.g., 1-minute, 5-minute, and 30-minute) on a single chart.
Individual Crossover Signals: Automatically plots a green triangle (▲) for a "Golden Cross" (9 SMA crosses above 20) and a red triangle (▼) for a "Death Cross" (9 SMA crosses below 20) on each individual timeframe.
Combined Crossover Engine: Define a custom bullish or bearish signal by combining multiple events. The indicator will plot a green diamond (◆) for your bullish setup and a red diamond (◆) for your bearish setup when all specified conditions are met on the same candle.
Customizable Alerts: Create alerts for both the individual 9/20 SMA crosses and your custom Combined Crossover Signal to ensure you never miss a potential setup.
How to Use the Indicator
Basic Setup
Add the "SMAs Ghost in the Machine v3" indicator to your TradingView chart.
Open the indicator settings.
Under the Timeframe Settings, enable the timeframes you want to monitor and select the desired period for each (e.g., TF1: '1', TF2: '5', TF3: '30').
Configuring the Combined Crossover Signal
This is the core feature for defining your specific trading setups.
In the settings, go to the "Combined Crossover Signal" group and check the box to "Enable Combined Signal."
Decide if you are building a bullish (long) or bearish (short) setup.
Under the "Bullish Setup" or "Bearish Setup" sections, check the boxes for every event that must happen at the same time for your signal to trigger.
Example Bullish Setup:
Let's say your strategy is to go long when:
On the 1-minute chart (TF1), the price crosses above the 9 SMA.
AND, on the 5-minute chart (TF3), the price also crosses above its 9 SMA.
To configure this, you would check the following two boxes under the "Bullish Setup":
TF1: Price crosses above 9 SMA
TF3: Price crosses above 9 SMA
Now, a green diamond (◆) will only appear on your chart when both of those conditions are true on the exact same bar, giving you a precise entry signal.
Setting Up Alerts
Go to the "Alert Settings" tab in the indicator options.
Check the boxes for the alerts you want to enable (e.g., "Alert on TF1 SMA Cross," "Alert on Combined Signal").
Close the settings. Now, right-click on the chart and choose "Add alert."
In the "Condition" dropdown, select "SMA Ghosts v3."
A second dropdown will appear. Choose the specific event you want an alert for, such as Combined Bullish Signal or TF1 Golden Cross.
Configure the alert options as desired and click "Create."
Trading Strategies
Trend Confirmation: Use the indicator on a 1-minute chart with the 5-minute 9/20 SMA lines enabled to see the 5-minute trend. Only take 1-minute trades that are in the same direction as the 5-minute SMAs.
Multi-Flow Alignment: Keep track of bigger timeframes (like the 30-min or 4-hour) to also match your entries with longer-term market flows.
Avoid Flat Markets: Avoid taking trades when the SMA lines from multiple timeframes are flat or moving sideways, as this indicates a lack of clear trend.

Fibonacci Sequence Moving Average [BackQuant]Fibonacci Sequence Moving Average with Adaptive Oscillator
1. Overview
The Fibonacci Sequence Moving Average indicator is a two‑part trading framework that combines a custom moving average built from the famous Fibonacci number set with a fully featured oscillator, normalisation engine and divergence suite. The moving average half delivers an adaptive trend line that respects natural market rhythms, while the oscillator half translates that trend information into a bounded momentum stream that is easy to read, easy to compare across assets and rich in confluence signals. Everything from weighting logic to colour palettes can be customised, so the tool comfortably fits scalpers zooming into one‑minute candles as well as position traders running multi‑month trend following campaigns.
2. Core Calculation
Fibonacci periods – The default length array is 5, 8, 13, 21, 34. A single multiplier input lets you scale the whole family up or down without breaking the golden‑ratio spacing. For example a multiplier of 3 yields 15, 24, 39, 63, 102.
Component averages – Each period is passed through Simple Moving Average logic to produce five baseline curves (ma1 through ma5).
Weighting methods – You decide how those five values are blended:
• Equal weighting treats every curve the same.
• Linear weighting applies factors 1‑to‑5 so the slowest curve counts five times as much as the fastest.
• Exponential weighting doubles each step for a fast‑reacting yet still smooth line.
• Fibonacci weighting multiplies each curve by its own period value, honouring the spirit of ratio mathematics.
Smoothing engine – The blended average is then smoothed a second time with your choice of SMA, EMA, DEMA, TEMA, RMA, WMA or HMA. A short smoothing length keeps the result lively, while longer lengths create institution‑grade glide paths that act like dynamic support and resistance.
3. Oscillator Construction
Once the smoothed Fib MA is in place, the script generates a raw oscillator value in one of three flavours:
• Distance – Percentage distance between price and the average. Great for mean‑reversion.
• Momentum – Percentage change of the average itself. Ideal for trend acceleration studies.
• Relative – Distance divided by Average True Range for volatility‑aware scaling.
That raw series is pushed through a look‑back normaliser that rescales every reading into a fixed −100 to +100 window. The normalisation window defaults to 100 bars but can be tightened for fast markets or expanded to capture long regimes.
4. Visual Layer
The oscillator line is gradient‑coloured from deep red through sky blue into bright green, so you can spot subtle momentum shifts with peripheral vision alone. There are four horizontal guide lines: Extreme Bear at −50, Bear Threshold at −20, Bull Threshold at +20 and Extreme Bull at +50. Soft fills above and below the thresholds reinforce the zones without cluttering the chart.
The smoothed Fib MA can be plotted directly on price for immediate trend context, and each of the five component averages can be revealed for educational or research purposes. Optional bar‑painting mirrors oscillator polarity, tinting candles green when momentum is bullish and red when momentum is bearish.
5. Divergence Detection
The script automatically looks for four classes of divergences between price pivots and oscillator pivots:
Regular Bullish, signalling a possible bottom when price prints a lower low but the oscillator prints a higher low.
Hidden Bullish, often a trend‑continuation cue when price makes a higher low while the oscillator slips to a lower low.
Regular Bearish, marking potential tops when price carves a higher high yet the oscillator steps down.
Hidden Bearish, hinting at ongoing downside when price posts a lower high while the oscillator pushes to a higher high.
Each event is tagged with an ℝ or ℍ label at the oscillator pivot, colour‑coded for clarity. Look‑back distances for left and right pivots are fully adjustable so you can fine‑tune sensitivity.
6. Alerts
Five ready‑to‑use alert conditions are included:
• Bullish when the oscillator crosses above +20.
• Bearish when it crosses below −20.
• Extreme Bullish when it pops above +50.
• Extreme Bearish when it dives below −50.
• Zero Cross for momentum inflection.
Attach any of these to TradingView notifications and stay updated without staring at charts.
7. Practical Applications
Swing trading trend filter – Plot the smoothed Fib MA on daily candles and only trade in its direction. Enter on oscillator retracements to the 0 line.
Intraday reversal scouting – On short‑term charts let Distance mode highlight overshoots beyond ±40, then fade those moves back to mean.
Volatility breakout timing – Use Relative mode during earnings season or crypto news cycles to spot momentum surges that adjust for changing ATR.
Divergence confirmation – Layer the oscillator beneath price structure to validate double bottoms, double tops and head‑and‑shoulders patterns.
8. Input Summary
• Source, Fibonacci multiplier, weighting method, smoothing length and type
• Oscillator calculation mode and normalisation look‑back
• Divergence look‑back settings and signal length
• Show or hide options for every visual element
• Full colour and line width customisation
9. Best Practices
Avoid using tiny multipliers on illiquid assets where the shortest Fibonacci window may drop under three bars. In strong trends reduce divergence sensitivity or you may see false counter‑trend flags. For portfolio scanning set oscillator to Momentum mode, hide thresholds and colour bars only, which turns the indicator into a heat‑map that quickly highlights leaders and laggards.
10. Final Notes
The Fibonacci Sequence Moving Average indicator seeks to fuse the mathematical elegance of the golden ratio with modern signal‑processing techniques. It is not a standalone trading system, rather a multi‑purpose information layer that shines when combined with market structure, volume analysis and disciplined risk management. Always test parameters on historical data, be mindful of slippage and remember that past performance is never a guarantee of future results. Trade wisely and enjoy the harmony of Fibonacci mathematics in your technical toolkit.
Apex Edge - RSI Trend LinesThe Apex Edge - RSI Trend Lines indicator is a precision tool that automatically draws real-time trendlines on the RSI oscillator using confirmed pivot highs and lows. These dynamic trendlines track RSI structure in motion, helping you anticipate breakout zones, reversals, and hidden divergences.
Every time a new pivot forms, the indicator automatically re-draws the RSI trendline between the two most recent pivots — giving you an always-current view of momentum structure. You’ll instantly see when RSI begins compressing or expanding, long before price reacts.
Key Features: • Dynamic RSI trendlines drawn from the last 2 pivots
• Auto re-draws in real-time as new pivots form
• Optional "Full Extend" or "Pivot Only" modes
• Slope color-coded: green = support, red = resistance
• Built-in dotted RSI levels (30/70 default)
• Alert conditions for RSI trendline breakout signals
• Ideal for spotting divergence, compression, and early SMC confluence
This is not your average RSI — it’s a fully reactive momentum edge overlay designed to give you clarity, structure, and timing from within the oscillator itself. Perfect for traders using Smart Money Concepts, divergence setups, or algorithmic trend tracking.

Polaris Trend All-in-One📘 Polaris Trend Indicator: Trading Rules & Strategy
Guide
The Polaris Trend Indicator is designed to simplify trading decisions by identifying key entry
and exit signals without the need for excessive technical analysis. This system combines the
Polaris Trend with the Polaris Golden Wave and Market Bias tools to give you confidence
across multiple timeframes.
This guide outlines clear trading rules for two use cases:
● Swing Trading
● Long-Term Investing and Holding
⚡ Swing Trading Strategy
Swing trading can be challenging when the market direction is unclear. The Polaris Trend helps
traders stay on the right side of momentum with straightforward visual signals. This approach is
best used on the Daily or Weekly chart.
✅ Entry Criteria (Bullish Trades)
● A solid green column appears above the zero line.
● A green upward arrow confirms bullish momentum.
● Enter your trade immediately when the green column first appears.
● Hold the trade until a red column appears, signaling a shift in momentum.
🚫 Exit Criteria (Bullish Trades)
● The first appearance of a red column after a green run.
● Multiple green columns followed by a red column.
● Do not enter trades mid-trend; always enter on the first green flip.
***Recommended Swing Strategy
● When a new daily green column appears but the weekly columns are still red, stay
nimble. Enter your position when the Polaris Trend Indicator turns green and displays an
upward-pointing arrow.
● If the price pulls back to a higher low but a red daily column forms, sell 50% of your
position and move your stop loss to your original entry. Then, wait for the next daily
green column and arrow to reappear, this is your signal to reenter the 50% you exited.
● If the price continues to rise and the weekly columns also turn green, shift your focus
to the weekly chart. Ignore daily signals and hold the trade until the weekly column
turns red, which will be your cue to exit. The weekly green column is your confirmation of
a stronger uptrend and a potential longer hold.
🔻 Entry Criteria (Bearish Trades)
● A solid red column appears below the zero line.
● A red downward arrow confirms bearish momentum.
● Enter your short trade immediately when the red column first appears.
● Hold until a green column appears, indicating momentum has shifted.
🔁 Exit Criteria (Bearish Trades)
● The first green column that follows a red sequence.
● Same rule applies: enter only on the initial flip, not mid-trend.
Note: The first color flip is the most reliable entry point. Avoid entering positions
deep into a trend, wait for the clear signal from Polaris.
🧭 Long-Term Investing Strategy
This approach combines the Polaris Golden Wave, Polaris Trend, and Market Bias to help
long-term investors buy at deep value levels and scale into positions over time.
📉 Ideal Entry: Golden Zone + Polaris Trend Signal
● Use the Golden Wave to identify the monthly 0.618–0.826 retracement zone
(significant discount levels).
● When price enters the Golden Zone and the Polaris Trend shows a green column on
the Daily or Weekly, this is your optimal entry point.
● If the trend turns red inside the zone, consider trimming positions and re-entering on the
next bullish signal.
If price drops below the Golden Zone, the stock becomes even more undervalued,
wait for the next green Polaris Trend signal to enter.
💰 Secondary Entry: Market Bias Rebounds
● If you miss the Golden Zone entry or are dollar-cost averaging:
○ Use the Market Bias on a Weekly timeframe.
○ Wait for price to retrace into the Market Bias band after moving higher.
○ Look for a red Polaris Trend column, then wait for price to enter the Market
Bias band and once it enters, wait for Polaris Trend signal to flip back to green
for your entry. If the trend turns red inside the zone, consider trimming positions
and re-entering on the next bullish signal.
Think of the Market Bias like a lake and price like a skipping stone—you want to
buy when the stone comes down and touches the surface.

Advanced Range Theory - ART📊 Advanced Range Theory (ART): The Institutional Blueprint
Stop drawing lines. Start reading the blueprint of the market. Advanced Range Theory (ART) is not another support and resistance indicator; it is a military-grade market structure engine designed to decode the language of institutional capital. It operates on a single, powerful premise: markets move in phases of consolidation and expansion, and the key to anticipation lies in understanding the complete lifecycle of these phases.
ART provides a living, breathing map of the battlefield, identifying institutional accumulation zones and tracking them with unparalleled precision from their inception as "Pending" ranges to their ultimate classification after a breakout. This is your X-ray into the market's skeletal structure.
🔬 THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK: THE ARCHITECTURE OF PRICE ACTION
ART is built on a multi-layered system of logic that moves beyond static levels. It treats ranges as dynamic entities with a narrative—a beginning, a middle, and an end. The core of the system is the dynamic classification engine, which analyzes not just the range, but the character of the price action that resolves it.
1. The Range Lifecycle: From Accumulation to Classification
This is the revolutionary heart of ART. A range's true identity is only revealed by how it is broken.
Phase 1: PENDING (Yellow): A new range is identified based on a period of price consolidation (a "parent" candle followed by a minimum number of "inside" candles). At this stage, it is a neutral zone of potential energy—an area where institutions are likely building positions. It is a question the market has not yet answered.
Phase 2: MITIGATION & CLASSIFICATION: When price breaks out and reaches a calculated extension level, the range is considered "mitigated." At this exact moment, ART analyzes the breakout's DNA to classify the range's true intent:
TYPE 1 - BREAKOUT (Blue): Characterized by a strong, impulsive move with confirming volume. This is a high-conviction breakout, signaling aggressive institutional participation and the likely start of a new trend. It is a statement of intent.
TYPE 2 - REVERSAL (Orange): Occurs when price attempts to break one way but is aggressively rejected, reversing and breaking out the other side. This signals absorption and a "failed auction," often marking significant market turning points.
TYPE 3 - PIVOT (Green): A more balanced breakout, lacking the explosive momentum of a Type 1. This often represents a resolution after a period of indecision or a pivot within a larger trading range.
2. The Hierarchical Map: Source & S/R Levels
ART doesn't just draw boxes; it builds a genealogical map of market structure.
SOURCE LEVEL (Thick Gold Line): This is the "genesis" point—the most recently mitigated range. It acts as the primary point of origin for the current market swing and serves as a critical level for determining overall bias. Price action above the Source is generally bullish; below is bearish.
S/R LEVELS (Cyan Lines): When a range is mitigated, the price level where it broke becomes a key Support/Resistance zone for the future. ART tracks the two most recent S/R levels, as these often act as powerful magnets or rejection points for price.
3. The Multi-Factor Validation Engine
To eliminate noise and focus only on institutionally significant ranges, every potential range must pass a rigorous quality control check:
Time-Based Consolidation: Requires a minimum number of consecutive inside candles (minInsideCandles), ensuring a true period of balance.
Volatility-Based Significance: The range's size must be greater than a multiple of the Average True Range (minRangeSize), filtering out insignificant micro-consolidations.
Participation Confirmation: The parent candle of the range is checked against average volume to ensure there was meaningful activity during its formation.
⚙️ THE COMMAND CONSOLE: CONFIGURING YOUR ART ENGINE
Every input is designed to give you granular control over the detection engine, allowing you to tune ART to any market or timeframe with precision. Each tooltip in the script provides a deep dive, but here is a summary of the core controls.
🎯 ART Detection Engine
Minimum Inside Candles: The soul of the detection algorithm. It defines the minimum number of bars that must be contained within a single "parent" candle to qualify as a range. Higher values (3-4) find major, significant consolidation zones. Lower values (1-2) are more sensitive and will identify shorter-term accumulation patterns.
Extension Multiplier & Fibonacci Extension: These control the profit target projections. The Extension Multiplier uses a simple measured move (e.g., 1.0 = a 1:1 projection of the range's height). The Fibonacci Extension uses the golden ratio (1.618) for harmonically-derived targets.
Mitigation Method (Cross vs. Close): Determines how a breakout is confirmed. Cross is more responsive, triggering as soon as price touches the extension. Close is more conservative, requiring a full candle to close beyond the level, which helps filter out fake-outs from wicks.
Min Range Size (ATR): A crucial noise filter. It ensures that ART ignores tiny, insignificant ranges by requiring a range's height to be a certain multiple of the current market volatility (ATR).
📊 Display & Visual Configuration
These settings give you full control over the visual interface. You can toggle every single element—from the Webb Scanner to the S/R Levels—to create a clean or a comprehensive view. Choose a color theme that suits your charting environment or define a fully custom palette.
🕸️ Webb Analysis Scanner
This is a unique real-time flow analysis tool. It draws dynamic, animated lines from the current price to recent historical points. This visualization helps reveal hidden "tendrils" of momentum and short-term support/resistance that are not immediately obvious, acting as a "sonar" for immediate price flow.
📊 THE ANALYTICS HUB: YOUR DASHBOARD DECODED
The dashboard provides a real-time, at-a-glance intelligence briefing on the current state of market structure as seen by the ART engine.
RANGE METRICS: This section is a "census" of the market's structure. It tells you the total number of ranges identified, how many are still Pending (awaiting a breakout), how many are Unmitigated (active but not yet broken), and how many have been Mitigated (classified and complete).
TYPE BREAKDOWN: This is a powerful gauge of market character. A high count of Type 1 (Breakout) ranges suggests a strong, trending environment. A rising number of Type 2 (Reversal) ranges can signal market exhaustion and potential trend changes. A dominant Type 3 (Pivot) count indicates a balanced, rotational market.
KEY GUIDE: The Large dashboard includes a full legend, so you never have to guess what a line or color represents. It's your built-in user manual.
🎨 DECODING THE BLUEPRINT: A VISUAL INTERPRETATION GUIDE
Every line and color in ART is designed for instant, intuitive understanding.
The Range Lines:
Yellow Lines: A Pending range. This is an active zone of accumulation. Pay close attention.
Colored Lines (Blue/Orange/Green): An unmitigated, classified range. The color tells you its breakout character.
Dotted Lines: A Mitigated range. Its story has been told. These historical levels can still act as support or resistance.
The Identification Zones: These colored boxes appear at a range's origin point after it has been classified. They are the "birth certificate" of the range, permanently marking its type (Breakout, Reversal, or Pivot) and providing an immediate visual history of market behavior.
The Hierarchical Lines:
Thick Gold Line (Source): The most important line on your chart. It is the anchor for your bias.
Cyan Lines (S/R): High-probability decision points. Expect reactions here.
Purple Dotted Lines (Extensions): Logical, calculated profit targets for breaking ranges.
🔧 THE ARCHITECT'S VISION: THE DEVELOPMENT JOURNEY
ART was born from a deep frustration with the static and subjective nature of traditional market structure analysis. Drawing lines by hand is inconsistent, and most indicators are reactive, only confirming what has already happened. The goal was to create a proactive, objective, and dynamic framework that could think about the market in terms of phases and lifecycles.
The breakthrough came from a simple shift in perspective: a range's true character isn't defined when it forms, but by how it resolves. This led to the development of the "post-breakout classification engine," which waits for the market to show its hand before assigning a definitive type. The Webb Scanner was inspired by the desire to visualize the unseen, to create a tool that could feel the immediate "pull" and "push" of price flow. The result is not just an indicator; it is a new language for interpreting price action, built on a foundation of logic, clarity, and precision.
⚠️ RISK DISCLAIMER & BEST PRACTICES
Advanced Range Theory is a professional-grade analytical tool designed to enhance a trader's decision-making process. It does not provide direct buy or sell signals. The levels and classifications it generates are based on historical price action and mathematical probabilities. All trading involves substantial risk, and past performance is not indicative of future results. Always use this tool in conjunction with a robust risk management plan.

Fibonacci retracementHi all!
This indicator will show you the most recent Fibonacci retracement in the current trend. So if the trend is bullish the Fibonacci retracement will be drawn from swing low to high and from swing high to low in a bearish trend.
The uniqueness in this script lies in the adaptation to trend. To only plot the Fibonacci retracements according to the current market trend.
The trend is determined through break of structures (BOS) and change of characters (CHoCH). A change of character can be of type change of character plus (with a failed swing) and will then be shown as CHoCH+. This is possible through my library 'MarketStructure' (). It only uses break of structures and change of characters to be able to determine the trend, if you want a more detailed picture of the market structure you can use my script 'Market structure' ().
History and what to look for
Fibonacci retracement levels are used by many traders and are levels that are not Fibonacci sequence numbers themselves but they deriver from them. Some examples are:
23,6% - Divide a number by one three places ahead (e.g. 13/55)
38,2% - Divide a number by the one two places ahead (e.g. 21/55)
50% - Not from the Fibonacci sequence, but it's a number that price has reacted from in the past. Markets tend to retrace half a move before continuing
61,8% - The "golden retracement level". It derives from the "golden ratio" and is a core component of the Fibonacci sequence. The further you go in the Fibonacci sequence the preceding number divided by the current number will get closer and closer to this "golden ratio". This level is considered the most important Fibonacci retracement level by many traders
78,6% - Square root of 61.8%. This is often considered a deep correction (but not a trend reversal) and are often used for late entries
These levels are considered "key" and most significant. You want to look for a retracement of the price (down in a bullish trend and up in a bearish trend) to give you good entries.
Settings
For the trend you can set the pivot/swing lengths (right and left) and use the checkbox if you want these pivots to have labels. This can be done in the 'Market strucure' section.
In the 'Fibonacci retracement' section there is settings for the actual Fibonacci retracement. You can enable the trendline, set the color and the style of it. You can select which levels that should be shown by the indicator. There are 11 levels enabled by default, they are; 0-4.236. All settings in this section tries to be as similar to the "Fib Retracement" tool in Tradingview. You can also select the style of these lines (solid, dashed or dotted) and if you want them to extend to the right or not.
After this you can select if the Fibonacci retracement should be reversed or not, if prices should be displayed, if levels should be displayed and if to show the decimal levels or percentages and lastly the font size of these labels.
All defaults are based on the "Fib Retracement" tool by Tradingview.
Visualization
This indicator aims to be as visually similar to the default ("Fib Retracement") tool here on Tradingview. It will plot the Fibonacci retracement (called Auto Fibonacci/Auto fib) according to the trend from the library 'MarketStrucure'. The big differences from the "Fib Retracement" tool by Tradingview is that it's automatic (that adapts to trend), the market structure is visualized through lines and labels (showing 'BOS' for break of structures and 'CHoCH'/'CHoCH+' for change of characters) and that the labels showing information about the levels are positioned to be highly visible (left if <50% otherwise right if in a bullish trend, vice versa in a bearish trend or if reversed).
Don't hesitate if you have any feedback or nice feature suggestions!
Best of trading luck!
Fibonacci Extension Distance Table## 🧾 **Script Name**: Fibonacci Extension Distance Table
### 🎯 Purpose:
This script helps traders visually track **key Fibonacci extension levels** on any chart and immediately see:
* The **price target** at each extension
* The **distance in percentage** from the current market price
It is especially helpful for:
* **Profit targets in trending trades**
* Monitoring **potential resistance zones** in uptrends
* Planning **entry/exit timing**
---
## 🧮 **How It Works**
1. **Swing Logic (A → B → C)**
* It automatically finds:
* `A`: the **lowest low** in the last `swingLen` bars
* `B`: the **highest high** in that same lookback
* `C`: current bar’s low is used as the **retracement point** (simplified)
2. **Extension Formula**
Using the Fibonacci formula:
```text
Extension Price = C + (B - A) × Fibonacci Ratio
```
The script calculates projected target prices at:
* **100%**
* **127.2%**
* **161.8%** (Golden Ratio)
* **200%**
* **261.8%**
3. **Distance Calculation**
For each level, it calculates:
* The **absolute difference** between current price and the extension level
* The **percentage difference**, which helps quickly assess how close or far the market is from that target
---
## 📋 **Table Output in Top Right**
| Level | Target ₹ | Dist % from current price |
| ------ | ---------- | ------------------------- |
| 100% | Calculated | % Above/Below |
| 127.2% | Calculated | % Above/Below |
| 161.8% | Calculated | % Above/Below |
| 200% | Calculated | % Above/Below |
| 261.8% | Calculated | % Above/Below |
* The table updates **live on each bar**
* It **highlights levels** where price is nearing
* Useful in **any time frame** and **any market** (stocks, crypto, forex)
---
## 🔔 Example Use Case
You bought a stock at ₹100, and recent swing shows:
* A = ₹80
* B = ₹110
* C = ₹100
The 161.8% extension = 100 + (110 − 80) × 1.618 = ₹148.54
If the current price is ₹144, the table will show:
* Golden Ratio Target: ₹148.54
* Distance: −4.54
* Distance %: −3.05%
You now know your **target is near** and can plan your **exit or trailing stop**.
---
## 🧠 Benefits
* No need to draw extensions manually
* Automatically adapts to new swing structures
* Supports **scalping**, **swing**, and **positional** strategies
XAU/USD Lot Size CalculatorThis indicator automatically calculates the optimal lot size for XAUUSD (gold) based on the level of risk the trader wants to take. It is designed for traders using MetaTrader 4 or 5 and helps adjust position size according to the specific volatility of gold. The user can set the percentage of capital they are willing to risk on a single trade, for example 1%. The indicator also takes into account the stop loss level, which can be entered in pips or in dollars, as well as the account size (balance or equity).
Based on these parameters, it calculates the exact lot size that matches the risk amount. It then displays on the chart the recommended lot size, the risk amount in dollars, the pip value for XAUUSD, and a confirmation of the stop loss level. This type of indicator is useful for maintaining disciplined risk management and avoiding position sizing errors, especially on a highly volatile asset like gold.
Rpaid Killzone Breakout v3.6Final Indicator Title: Rapid Killzone Break & HTF Levels
Overview
Welcome to the Rapid Killzone Break & HTF Levels, an all-in-one trading toolkit designed for precision and context. This indicator was built to solve a common problem for day traders: how to combine a precise, lower-timeframe (LTF) entry model with the essential context of higher-timeframe (HTF) levels.
This tool is founded on a session-based breakout strategy, leveraging the volatility and liquidity generated during specific market hours (the "Killzones"). It then layers critical HTF support and resistance levels onto your chart, allowing you to make more informed trading decisions without ever needing to switch timeframes.
Whether you trade Forex, Gold, or major Indices, this indicator provides a comprehensive framework for identifying high-probability breakout opportunities.
The Core Strategy
The methodology is a powerful three-step process based on session liquidity and qualified breakouts:
The Killzone Range: The indicator first identifies the high and low established during a specific, high-volatility trading session (e.g., the first hour of London or New York). This range acts as a pool of liquidity. The core idea is that the market will often seek to "sweep" or run the liquidity resting above the session high or below the session low.
The Qualified Breakout: This is not just any breakout strategy. A valid entry signal only appears when price closes decisively outside the Killzone range with significant momentum. To ensure the quality of the signal, the breakout must meet several user-defined criteria:
The Killzone must have a minimum pip range.
The breakout candle must have a strong body-to-wick ratio.
The breakout must be accompanied by a spike in volume.
Higher Timeframe Confluence: A breakout is more likely to succeed if it aligns with the HTF narrative. This indicator plots the previous higher-timeframe candle's high and low directly onto your chart. These levels act as powerful magnets for price or as formidable support/resistance zones. A breakout on the LTF that targets the HTF previous high is a much higher-probability setup than one trading directly into it.
Key Features
📊 DST-Aware Killzones: Automatically adjusting session boxes for London and New York. The timezones are fully configurable (e.g., Europe/London, America/New_York) and automatically handle Daylight Saving Time changes so you never have to manually adjust them.
📈 Killzone Pivots: Automatically draws the High, Low, and a dotted Midpoint from each Killzone session, acting as key intraday levels.
🏛️ Higher Timeframe (HTF) Levels: Plots the previous HTF candle's High and Low as dashed lines on your chart, providing critical context for support, resistance, and targets.
🕯️ HTF Mini-Candles: Displays a visual summary of the last three HTF candles on the right side of your chart, so you can see the HTF trend at a glance.
⏰ Custom Vertical Timestamps: Up to three configurable vertical lines with labels to mark key events like other session opens (e.g., "Sydney Open").
🎛️ Advanced Breakout Filters: Fine-tune your signals with filters for minimum Killzone range, minimum candle body percentage, and volume spikes. (Important: The volume filter requires a data feed that provides real volume, such as OANDA, FXCM, or futures/stock data).
✅ Dynamic Entry Advice Table: After a signal, a table provides a suggested entry technique (e.g., "50% retrace to signal candle") based on how far price has moved from the breakout level.
📋 Killzone Range Stats Table: A clean table shows the current and average pip range for both the London and New York sessions, helping you gauge current volatility.
🛠️ Fully Customizable: Nearly every visual element can be toggled on/off or have its color and style changed to suit your personal chart theme.
How to Use This Indicator
This tool is designed to provide a clear, step-by-step workflow for your trading sessions.
Setup: In the settings, choose your desired Reference Timeframe (e.g., 240 for 4-Hour). Configure your Killzone session times and colors.
Context is King: Before the session begins, take note of where price is in relation to the dashed HTF High/Low lines. Is price consolidating below the previous HTF low? A breakout might target it. Is price approaching the HTF high? This could be a take-profit area or a point of resistance.
Wait for the Range: Allow the London or New York Killzone (the colored box) to form completely.
Anticipate the Breakout: Once the session box is closed, the indicator is now hunting for a valid breakout.
Validate the Signal: When a "Long" or "Short" label appears, this is your entry signal. Check the Info-Box data (RSI, volume, candle body %) to confirm the strength of the move.
Manage the Trade: Use the Killzone pivots and the HTF High/Low lines as potential areas to manage your trade, take partial profits, or identify a final target. Check the Entry Advice table for ideas on refined entries if you miss the initial move.
Applicable Markets
This strategy is most effective on instruments known for their session-based volatility. It has been tested and works exceptionally well on:
Forex Majors: EUR/USD, GBP/USD, etc.
Gold: XAU/USD
Indices: NASDAQ 100 (NQ100), S&P 500 (SPX500)
It is best used on lower timeframes (such as the 5-minute or 15-minute chart) for trade execution.
Pristine Value Areas & MGIThe Pristine Value Areas indicator enables users to perform comprehensive technical analysis through the lens of the market profile in a fraction of the time! 🏆
A Market Profile is a charting technique devised by J. Peter Steidlmayer, a trader at the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT), in the 1980's. He created it to gain a deeper understanding of market behavior and to analyze the auction process in financial markets. A market profile is used to analyze an auction using price, volume, and time to create a distribution-based view of trading activity. It organizes market data into a bell-curve-like structure, which reveals areas of value, balance, and imbalance.
💠 How is a Value Area Calculated?
A value area is a distribution of 68%-70% of the trading volume over a specific time interval, which represents one standard deviation above and below the point of control, which is the most highly traded level over that period.
The key reference points are as follows:
Value area low (VAL) - The lower boundary of a value area
Value area high (VAH) - The upper boundary of a value area
Point of Control (POC) - The price level at which the highest amount of a trading period's volume occurred
If we take the probability distribution of trading activity and flip it 90 degrees, the result is our Pristine Value Area!
Market Profile is our preferred method of technical analysis at Pristine Capital because it provides an objective and repeatable assessment of whether an asset is being accumulated or distributed by institutional investors. Market Profile levels work remarkably well for identifying areas of interest, because so many institutional trading algorithms have been programmed to use these levels since the 1980's!
The benefits of using Market Profile include better trade location, improved risk management, and enhanced market context. It helps traders differentiate between trending and consolidating markets, identify high-probability trade setups, and adjust their strategies based on whether the market is in balance (consolidation) or imbalance (trending). Unlike traditional indicators that rely on past price movements, Market Profile provides real-time insights into trader behavior, giving an edge to those who can interpret its nuances effectively.
Virgin Point of Control (VPOC) - A point of control from a previous time period that has not yet been revisited in subsequent periods. VPOCs are great for identifying prior supply or demand zones.
Below is a great example of price reversing lower after taking out an upside VPOC
💠 Are all POCs Created Equal?
If POCs are used to gauge supply & demand zones at key levels, then a POC with higher volume should be viewed as more significant than a POC that traded lower volume, right? We created Golden POCs as a tool to identify high volume POCs on all timeframes.
Golden POC (GPOC) - A POC that traded the highest volume compared to prior POCs (proprietary to Pristine Capital)
We calculate value areas for the following time intervals based on the user selected timeframe:
5 Minute and 15 Minute Timeframes -> Daily Value Area
The daily value area paints the distribution of the PRIOR session's trading activity. The "d" in the label references for VAHd, POCd and VALd is a visual cue that value area shown is daily.
1 Hour Timeframe -> Weekly Value Area
The weekly value area paints the distribution of the PRIOR week's trading activity. The "w" in the label references for VAHw, POCw and VALw is a visual cue that value area shown is weekly.
1 Day Timeframe -> Monthly Value Area
The monthly value area paints the distribution of the PRIOR month's trading activity. The "m" in the label references for VAHm, POCm and VALm is a visual cue that value area shown is monthly.
1 Week Timeframe -> Yearly Value Area
The yearly value area paints the distribution of the PRIOR year's trading activity. The "y" in the label references for VAHy, POCy and VALy is a visual cue that value area shown is yearly.
💠 What is a developing value area?
The developing value area provides insight into the upcoming value area while it is still forming! It appears when 80% of the way through the current value area. As the end of a trading period approaches, it can make sense to start trading off the developing value area. When the time period flips, the developing value area becomes the active value area!
💠 Value Areas Trading Setups
Two popular market profile concepts are the bullish and bearish 80% rules. The concept is that there is an 80% probability that the market will traverse the entire relevant value area.
Bullish 80% Rule - If a security opens a period below the value area low , and subsequently closes above it, the bullish 80% rule triggers, turning the value area green. One can trade for a move to the top of the value area, using a close below the value area low as a potential stop!
In the below example, HOOD triggered the bullish 80% rule after it reclaimed the monthly value area!
HOOD proceeded to rally through the monthly value area and beyond in subsequent trading sessions. Finding the first stocks to trigger the bullish 80% rule after a market correction is key for spotting the next market leaders!
Bearish 80% Rule - If a security opens a period above the value area high , and subsequently closes below it, the bearish 80% rule triggers, turning the value area red. One can trade for a move to the bottom of the value area, using a close above the value area high as a potential stop!
ES proceeded to follow through and test the value area low before trending below the weekly value area
Value Area Breakouts - When a security is inside of value, the auction is in balance. When it breaks out from a value area, it could be entering a period of price discovery. One can trade these breaks out of value with tight risk control by setting a stop inside the value area! These breakouts can be traded on all chart timeframes depending on the timeframe of the individual trader. Combining multiple timeframes can result in even more effective trading setups.
RBLX broke out from the monthly value area on 4/22/25👇
RBLX proceeded to rally +62.78% in 39 trading sessions following the monthly VAH breakout!
💠 Market Generated Information to Improve Your Situational Awareness!
In addition to the value areas, we've also included stat tables with useful market generated information. The stats displayed vary based on the timeframe the user has up on their screen. This incentivizes traders to check the chart on multiple timeframes before taking a trade!
Metrics Grouped By Use Case
Performance
▪ YTD α - YTD Alpha (α) measures the risk-adjusted, excess return of a security over its user defined benchmark, on a year-to-date basis.
▪ MTD α - MTD Alpha (α) measures the risk-adjusted, excess return of a security over its user defined benchmark, on a month-to-date basis.
▪ WTD α - WTD Alpha (α) measures the risk-adjusted, excess return of a security over its user defined benchmark, on a week-to-date basis.
▪ YTD %Δ - Year-to-date percent change in price
▪ MTD %Δ - Month-to-date percent change in price
▪ WTD %Δ - Week-to-date percent change in price
Volatility
▪ ATR % - The Average True Range (ATR) expressed as a percentage of an asset's price.
▪ Beta - Measures the price volatility of a security compared to the S&P 500 over the prior 5 years (since inception if 5 years of data is not available)
Risk Analysis
▪ LODx - Low-of-day extension - ATR % multiple from the low of day (measures how extended a stock is from its low of day)
▪ MAx - Moving average extension - ATR % multiple from the user-defined moving average (measures how extended a security is from its moving average). Default moving average = 50D SMA
Why does MAx matter?
MAx measures the number of ATR % multiples a security is trading away from a key moving average. The default moving average length is 50 days.
MAx can be used to identify mean reversion trades . When a security trends strongly in one direction and moves significantly above or below its moving average, the price often tends to revert back toward the average.
Example, if the ATR % of the security is 5%, and the stock is trading 50% higher than the 50D SMA, the MAx would be 50%/5% = 10. A user might opt to take a countertrend trade when the MAx exceeds a predetermined level.
The MAx can also be useful when trading breakouts above or below the key moving average of your choosing. The lower the MAx, the tighter stop loss one can take if trading against that level.

Short-term and long-term stage analysis data is provided in the two rightmost columns of each table. The columns are labeled ST ⇅ and LT ⇅.
Why is Stage Analysis important? Popularized by Stan Weinstein, stage analysis is a trend following system that classifies assets into four stages based on price-trend analysis.
The problem? The interpretation of stage analysis is highly subjective. Based on the methodology provided in Stan Weinstein’s books, five different traders could look at the same chart, and come to different conclusions as to which stage the security is in!
We solved for this by creating our own methodology for classifying stocks into stages using moving averages. This indicator automates that analysis, and produces short-term and long-term trend signals based on user-defined key moving averages. You won’t find this in any textbook or course, because it’s completely unique to the Pristine trading methodology.
Our indicator calculates a short-term trend signal using two moving averages; a fast moving average, and a slow moving average. We default to the 10D EMA as the fast moving average & the 20D SMA as the slow moving average. A trend signal is generated based on where price is currently trading with respect to the fast moving average and the slow moving average. We use the signal to guide shorter-term swing trades.
In general, we want to take long trades in stocks with strengthening trends, and short trades in stocks with weakening trends. The user is free to change the moving averages based on their own short-term timeframe. Every trader is unique!
The same process is applied to calculate the long-term trend signal. We default to the 50D SMA as our fast moving average, and the 200D SMA as the slow moving average for the LT ⇅ signal calculation, but users can change these to fit their own unique trading style.
What is Stage 1?
Stage 1 identifies stocks that transitioned from downtrends, into bottoming bases.
Stage 1A - Bottom Signal: Marks the first day a security shows initial signs of recovery after a downtrend, with early indications of strength emerging.👇
Stage 1B - Bottoming Process: Identifies the ongoing phase where the security continues to stabilize and strengthen, confirming the base-building process after the initial signal.👇
Stage 1R - Failed Uptrend: Detects when a security that had entered an early uptrend loses momentum and slips back into a bottoming phase, signaling a failed breakout.👇
What is Stage 2?
Stage 2 identifies stocks that transitioned from bottoming bases to uptrends.
Stage 2A - Breakout: Marks the first day a security decisively breaks out, signaling the start of a new uptrend.👇
Stage 2B - Uptrend: Identifies when the security continues to trade in an established uptrend following the initial breakout, with momentum building but not yet showing full strength.👇
Stage 2C - Strong Uptrend: Detects when the uptrend strengthens further, with the security displaying clear signs of accelerating strength and buying pressure.👇
Stage 2R - Failed Breakdown: Detects when a security that had recently entered a corrective phase reverses course and reclaims its upward trajectory, moving back into an uptrend.👇
What is Stage 3?
Stage 3 identifies stocks that transitioned from uptrends to topping bases.
Stage 3A - Top Signal: Marks the first day a security shows initial signs of weakness after an uptrend, indicating the start of a potential topping phase.👇
Stage 3B - Topping Process: Identifies the period following the initial signal when the security continues to show signs of distribution and potential trend exhaustion.👇
Stage 3R - Failed Breakdown: Detects when a security that had entered a deeper corrective phase reverses upward, recovering enough strength to re-enter the topping phase.👇
What is Stage 4?
Stage 4 identifies stocks that transitioned from topping bases to downtrends.
Stage 4A - Breakdown: Marks the first day a security decisively breaks below key support levels, signaling the start of a new downward trend.👇
Stage 4B - Downtrend: Identifies when the security continues to trend lower following the initial breakdown, with sustained bearish momentum, though not yet fully entrenched.👇
Stage 4C - Strong Downtrend: Detects when the downtrend intensifies, with the security displaying clear signs of accelerating weakness and selling pressure.👇
Stage 4R - Failed Bottom: Detects when a security that had begun to show early signs of bottoming reverses course and resumes its decline, falling back into a downtrend.👇
Stage N/A - Recent IPO: Applies to stocks that recently IPO’ed and don’t have enough data to calculate all necessary moving averages.
Value Area
In Trend Analysis, the value area information is helpful to gauge price in relation to the value area.
▪ VA(y) - Categorizes the security based on the relation of price to the yearly value area
▪ VA(m) - Categorizes the security based on the relation of price to the monthly value area
▪ VA(w) - Categorizes the security based on the relation of price to the weekly value area
Value area states:
▪ ABOVE = Price above the value area high
▪ BELOW = Price below the value area low
▪ INSIDE = Price inside the value area
▪ Bull 80% = Bullish 80% rule in effect
▪ Bear 80% rule = Bearish 80% rule in effect
For example, in the chart above, VA(m) - ABOVE indicates a monthly value area and price is above the VAH.
💠 What Makes This Indicator Unique
There are many value area indicators, however...
Value Area
▪ Golden POC (GPOC) - This is a proprietary concept.
▪ Unique Label Customization
Pristine value areas often comprehensive and unique label customizations. Styles include options to display any combination of the following on your labels:
• Price levels associated with market profile levels
• % distance of market profile levels from security price
• ATR% extension of market profile levels from security price
Multi-Timeframe Analysis
Based on the chart timeframe, unique market generated information is shown to facilitate multi-timeframe analysis.
▪ Weekly Timeframe
On the weekly timeframe the focus is the bigger picture and the metrics reflect this perspective. Performance data includes YTD Alpha and YTD percent change in price. Volatility is measured using ATR % and the industry standard beta. Trend analysis for this higher timeframe include the 52-week range, which measures where a security is trading in relation to its 52wk high and 52wk low. Also included is the where price is in relation to yearly value area.
▪ Daily Timeframe
As one drills down to the daily timeframe, the performance metrics include MTD alpha and MTD percent change in price.
Risk analysis includes the low-of-day extension (LODx), which is the ATR % multiple from the low of the day, to measures how extended a stock is from its low of day. In addition, the moving average extension (MAx) is the ATR % multiple from the user-defined moving average, measures how extended a security is from its
moving average. The default moving average is the 50D SMA, however this can be customized in Settings.
Trend Analysis on the daily timeframe includes the Pristine Capital methodology for classifying stocks into stages using moving averages. Both short-term and long-term stage analysis data is included. Finally, price in relation to monthly value area is shown.
▪ Hourly Timeframe
An the hourly timeframe, performance metrics include WTD alpha and WTD percent change in price. Trend analysis includes the daily closing range (DCR) and price in relation to weekly value area.

Time-Based Filtering: Optionally limits signals to specific hours, with a background fill showing the active period.
Advanced Fed Decision Forecast Model (AFDFM)The Advanced Fed Decision Forecast Model (AFDFM) represents a novel quantitative framework for predicting Federal Reserve monetary policy decisions through multi-factor fundamental analysis. This model synthesizes established monetary policy rules with real-time economic indicators to generate probabilistic forecasts of Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) decisions. Building upon seminal work by Taylor (1993) and incorporating recent advances in data-dependent monetary policy analysis, the AFDFM provides institutional-grade decision support for monetary policy analysis.
## 1. Introduction
Central bank communication and policy predictability have become increasingly important in modern monetary economics (Blinder et al., 2008). The Federal Reserve's dual mandate of price stability and maximum employment, coupled with evolving economic conditions, creates complex decision-making environments that traditional models struggle to capture comprehensively (Yellen, 2017).
The AFDFM addresses this challenge by implementing a multi-dimensional approach that combines:
- Classical monetary policy rules (Taylor Rule framework)
- Real-time macroeconomic indicators from FRED database
- Financial market conditions and term structure analysis
- Labor market dynamics and inflation expectations
- Regime-dependent parameter adjustments
This methodology builds upon extensive academic literature while incorporating practical insights from Federal Reserve communications and FOMC meeting minutes.
## 2. Literature Review and Theoretical Foundation
### 2.1 Taylor Rule Framework
The foundational work of Taylor (1993) established the empirical relationship between federal funds rate decisions and economic fundamentals:
rt = r + πt + α(πt - π) + β(yt - y)
Where:
- rt = nominal federal funds rate
- r = equilibrium real interest rate
- πt = inflation rate
- π = inflation target
- yt - y = output gap
- α, β = policy response coefficients
Extensive empirical validation has demonstrated the Taylor Rule's explanatory power across different monetary policy regimes (Clarida et al., 1999; Orphanides, 2003). Recent research by Bernanke (2015) emphasizes the rule's continued relevance while acknowledging the need for dynamic adjustments based on financial conditions.
### 2.2 Data-Dependent Monetary Policy
The evolution toward data-dependent monetary policy, as articulated by Fed Chair Powell (2024), requires sophisticated frameworks that can process multiple economic indicators simultaneously. Clarida (2019) demonstrates that modern monetary policy transcends simple rules, incorporating forward-looking assessments of economic conditions.
### 2.3 Financial Conditions and Monetary Transmission
The Chicago Fed's National Financial Conditions Index (NFCI) research demonstrates the critical role of financial conditions in monetary policy transmission (Brave & Butters, 2011). Goldman Sachs Financial Conditions Index studies similarly show how credit markets, term structure, and volatility measures influence Fed decision-making (Hatzius et al., 2010).
### 2.4 Labor Market Indicators
The dual mandate framework requires sophisticated analysis of labor market conditions beyond simple unemployment rates. Daly et al. (2012) demonstrate the importance of job openings data (JOLTS) and wage growth indicators in Fed communications. Recent research by Aaronson et al. (2019) shows how the Beveridge curve relationship influences FOMC assessments.
## 3. Methodology
### 3.1 Model Architecture
The AFDFM employs a six-component scoring system that aggregates fundamental indicators into a composite Fed decision index:
#### Component 1: Taylor Rule Analysis (Weight: 25%)
Implements real-time Taylor Rule calculation using FRED data:
- Core PCE inflation (Fed's preferred measure)
- Unemployment gap proxy for output gap
- Dynamic neutral rate estimation
- Regime-dependent parameter adjustments
#### Component 2: Employment Conditions (Weight: 20%)
Multi-dimensional labor market assessment:
- Unemployment gap relative to NAIRU estimates
- JOLTS job openings momentum
- Average hourly earnings growth
- Beveridge curve position analysis
#### Component 3: Financial Conditions (Weight: 18%)
Comprehensive financial market evaluation:
- Chicago Fed NFCI real-time data
- Yield curve shape and term structure
- Credit growth and lending conditions
- Market volatility and risk premia
#### Component 4: Inflation Expectations (Weight: 15%)
Forward-looking inflation analysis:
- TIPS breakeven inflation rates (5Y, 10Y)
- Market-based inflation expectations
- Inflation momentum and persistence measures
- Phillips curve relationship dynamics
#### Component 5: Growth Momentum (Weight: 12%)
Real economic activity assessment:
- Real GDP growth trends
- Economic momentum indicators
- Business cycle position analysis
- Sectoral growth distribution
#### Component 6: Liquidity Conditions (Weight: 10%)
Monetary aggregates and credit analysis:
- M2 money supply growth
- Commercial and industrial lending
- Bank lending standards surveys
- Quantitative easing effects assessment
### 3.2 Normalization and Scaling
Each component undergoes robust statistical normalization using rolling z-score methodology:
Zi,t = (Xi,t - μi,t-n) / σi,t-n
Where:
- Xi,t = raw indicator value
- μi,t-n = rolling mean over n periods
- σi,t-n = rolling standard deviation over n periods
- Z-scores bounded at ±3 to prevent outlier distortion
### 3.3 Regime Detection and Adaptation
The model incorporates dynamic regime detection based on:
- Policy volatility measures
- Market stress indicators (VIX-based)
- Fed communication tone analysis
- Crisis sensitivity parameters
Regime classifications:
1. Crisis: Emergency policy measures likely
2. Tightening: Restrictive monetary policy cycle
3. Easing: Accommodative monetary policy cycle
4. Neutral: Stable policy maintenance
### 3.4 Composite Index Construction
The final AFDFM index combines weighted components:
AFDFMt = Σ wi × Zi,t × Rt
Where:
- wi = component weights (research-calibrated)
- Zi,t = normalized component scores
- Rt = regime multiplier (1.0-1.5)
Index scaled to range for intuitive interpretation.
### 3.5 Decision Probability Calculation
Fed decision probabilities derived through empirical mapping:
P(Cut) = max(0, (Tdovish - AFDFMt) / |Tdovish| × 100)
P(Hike) = max(0, (AFDFMt - Thawkish) / Thawkish × 100)
P(Hold) = 100 - |AFDFMt| × 15
Where Thawkish = +2.0 and Tdovish = -2.0 (empirically calibrated thresholds).

LiquidEdge Original1️⃣ Why Most Traders Miss Key Market Turning Points
Most traders (you) struggle to identify true market pivots THE REAL TOP and BOTTOMS where reversals begin.
❌ You enter too early or too late because price alone doesn’t give enough confirmation
❌ You follow price blindly, unaware of the volume pressure building underneath
❌ You get caught in sideways markets, not realizing they’re often accumulation or distribution zones
❌ You can’t tell if momentum is building or fading, which leads to low confidence and inconsistent results
👉 LiquidEdge helps solve this by tracking volume momentum through a modified MFI slope and scoring system. It highlights potential pivots with real context, so you can see where smart money might be entering or exiting before price makes it obvious.
2️⃣ What LiquidEdge Actually Does and How
LiquidEdge helps solve common trading problems by adding structure and clarity to volume analysis.
✅ It builds on the classic Money Flow Index (MFI), but instead of just showing overbought/oversold levels, it calculates the slope of MFI to track real-time changes in volume momentum
✅ Each setup is scored based on a combination of factors: divergence strength, trend alignment using EMA, and whether the signal occurs inside a liquidity zone
✅ Hidden accumulation or distribution is revealed when volume pressure increases or fades while price remains flat or moves slightly, a sign of smart money positioning
✅ Divergences are only flagged when they occur near pivot zones and align with overall trend conditions, helping reduce false signals
✅ Potential pivots are identified when multiple factors overlap such as a liquidity zone breach, volume slope shift, and valid divergence which often signals entry or exit points for institutional players
👉 The result is a structured interpretation of price and volume flow, helping traders read momentum shifts and potential reversals more clearly in both trending and ranging markets.
3️⃣ What Makes LiquidEdge Different
LiquidEdge is built on top of the classic Money Flow Index (MFI), but adds structure that transforms it from a basic momentum tool into a decision-support system.
Instead of simply showing highs and lows, it scores each potential setup based on:
✅ The steepness and direction of the MFI slope (used to measure volume pressure)
✅ Whether the setup aligns with the broader trend using an EMA filter (default: 200 EMA)
✅ Whether the signal appears inside predefined liquidity zones (MFI above 80 or below 20)
👉 This scoring system reduces noise and helps you focus only on high-probability setups.
👉 It also checks volume pressure across multiple timeframes using MFI slope on 5M, 15M, 1H, 4H, and Daily charts. This reveals whether short-term moves are backed by longer-term volume momentum.
Color changes in the line and histogram are not decorative they reflect real shifts in volume pressure. Every visual cue is linked to live market logic.
What Makes It Stand Out
👉 Setup Scoring That Makes Sense
Each setup is scored by combining:
Signal strength (MFI slope intensity and stability)
Trend direction (via customizable EMA)
Liquidity zone relevance (MFI range filtering)
This structured scoring means you spend less time second-guessing and more time reading clean signals.
👉 Flow That Follows Real Momentum
The slope of the MFI tracks whether volume pressure is rising or falling:
🟢 Green = increasing inflow (buying pressure)
🔴 Red = increasing outflow (selling pressure)
👉 Multi-Timeframe Volume Context
LiquidEdge calculates flow direction independently on each major timeframe. You’ll know if short-term setups are confirmed by higher timeframe volume or going against it.
👉 Smart Divergence Filtering
Unlike simple divergence tools that compare price highs/lows directly, LiquidEdge filters divergences based on:
Local pivot zones (defined by lookback periods)
Trend confirmation (to eliminate countertrend noise)
4️⃣ How LiquidEdge Works (Under the Hood)
LiquidEdge tracks directional momentum using the slope of the Money Flow Index (MFI) giving you a real-time read on buying and selling pressure.
When the slope rises, it means buyers are stepping in and volume is supporting the move.
When it falls, sellers are taking control and volume outflow is increasing.
This slope acts like a pressure gauge for the market, helping you spot when a trend has strength or when it's starting to fade.
💡 Quick Comparison
RSI = momentum from price
MFI = momentum from price + volume
LiquidEdge takes it one step further by calculating the rate of change (slope) in MFI. That’s where the pressure signal comes from not just value, but directional flow.
Core Calculations (Simplified)
Typical Price = (High + Low + Close) ÷ 3
Raw Money Flow = Typical Price × Volume
MFI = 100 −
MFI ranges from 0 to 100.
High = strong buying volume
Low = growing selling pressure
LiquidEdge then calculates the slope of this MFI over time to track volume momentum dynamically.
Divergence Engine
LiquidEdge detects divergence by comparing price pivots with the direction of MFI slope.
❌ If price makes a higher high but MFI slope turns down, it’s a bearish divergence
✅ If price makes a lower low but MFI slope rises, it’s a bullish divergence
Divergences are only confirmed when they occur:
Near local pivot zones (defined by configurable lookback windows)
And, optionally, in alignment with the broader trend using an EMA filter
This filtering helps reduce false positives and keeps you focused on clean setups.
Structured Confidence Scoring
Each signal is visually scored based on:
➡️ Whether a valid divergence is detected
➡️ Whether the signal occurs inside a liquidity zone (MFI > 80 or < 20)
➡️ Whether the setup aligns with the overall trend direction (EMA filter)
More confluence = higher confidence
The scoring system helps prioritize setups that meet multiple criteria, not just one.
Liquidity Zones
Above 80: Signals possible buying exhaustion 👉 risk of reversal
Below 20: Indicates potential selling exhaustion 👉 watch for a bounce
Zones are shaded directly on the chart to highlight pressure extremes in real time.
Price + Volume Fusion
LiquidEdge blends price action with volume pressure using MFI slope and histogram behavior. It doesn’t just show you where price is moving. it shows whether the move is backed by real volume.
This lets you see:
Whether volume is confirming or fading behind a move
If a reversal is building even before price confirms it
Visual Feedback That Speaks Clearly
🟢 Green slope = increasing buying pressure
🔴 Red slope = increasing selling pressure
5️⃣ When Price Is Flat but LiquidEdge Moves: Volume Tells the Truth
One of the most useful things LiquidEdge can do is reveal pressure shifts when price looks neutral.
If price is moving sideways but the MFI slope or histogram rises, it may suggest that buying pressure is quietly increasing possibly pointing to early accumulation.
If price stays flat while the volume slope or histogram drops, this could indicate distribution, where sellers are exiting without moving the market noticeably.
These changes don’t guarantee a breakout or breakdown, but they often precede key moves especially when combined with other confluences like trend alignment or liquidity zones.
👉 LiquidEdge helps spot these setups by measuring volume momentum shifts beneath price action.
It doesn’t predict the future, but it gives you additional context to evaluate what may be developing before it’s visible on price alone.
6️⃣ Multi-Timeframe Flow Table
LiquidEdge includes a real-time table that tracks volume pressure across multiple timeframes including 5-minute, 15-minute, 1-hour, 4-hour, and daily charts.
Each row reflects the direction of the MFI slope on that timeframe, indicating whether volume pressure is increasing (inflow) or decreasing (outflow).
🟢 A rising slope suggests that buying momentum is building
🔴 A falling slope suggests selling pressure may be increasing
👉 This lets traders quickly assess whether short-term setups are aligned with higher timeframe volume trends a useful layer of confirmation for both intraday and swing strategies.
Rather than flipping between charts, the table gives you a snapshot of flow strength across the board, helping you stay focused on opportunities that align with broader market pressure.
7️⃣ Timeframes & Assets
Where LiquidEdge Works Best:
✅ Crypto: Supports major coins and high-volume altcoins (BTC, ETH, Top 100)
✅ Stocks: Effective on large-cap and mid-cap equities with consistent volume
✅ Futures: Tested on instruments like NQ, MNQ, ES, and MES
✅ Any liquid market where volume data is reliable and stable
For best results, use LiquidEdge on assets with consistent trading volume. It’s not recommended for ultra-low volume crypto pairs or micro-cap stocks, where irregular volume can distort signals.
Recommended Timeframes:
👉 Intraday trading: Works well on 3-minute, 5-minute, 15-minute, and 1-hour charts
👉 Swing trading: Performs reliably on 4-hour, daily, and weekly charts
👉 Ultra short-term (1-minute or less): Not recommended due to high noise and low reliability
LiquidEdge adapts to various trading styles from scalping short-term momentum shifts to analyzing broader volume trends across swing and positional setups. The key is choosing assets and timeframes with reliable volume flow for the tool to work effectively.
8️⃣ Common Mistakes to Avoid When Using LiquidEdge
❌ Using It in Isolation
LiquidEdge offers valuable context, but it’s not designed to function as a standalone trading system. Always combine it with key tools such as trendlines, support/resistance zones, chart structure, or fundamental data. The more supporting evidence you have, the stronger your analysis becomes.
❌ Relying on a Single Indicator
No indicator, including LiquidEdge, can account for every market condition. It’s important to use it alongside other forms of confirmation to avoid making decisions based on limited data.
❌ Misinterpreting Divergences as Reversals
A divergence between price and volume pressure doesn't always signal the end of a trend. If the broader direction remains strong (based on EMAs or higher timeframe volume flow), a divergence could reflect temporary consolidation rather than reversal.
❌ Ignoring Trend Alignment and Confidence Scoring
LiquidEdge includes confidence scoring to help validate signals. Disregarding this structure can lead to reacting to weak or out-of-context divergences, especially in choppy or low-volume environments.
❌ Using It on Second-Based or Tick Charts
Very low timeframes introduce too much noise, which can distort volume slope and divergence signals. For intraday analysis, start with 3-minute charts or higher. For swing trading, use 4H and up for clearer, more reliable structure.
9️⃣ LiquidEdge Settings Overview
A quick breakdown of what you can customize in the indicator and how each option affects what you see:
➡️ LiquidEdge Length
Controls how sensitive the indicator is to changes in volume pressure (via MFI slope).
Shorter values = faster response, more frequent signals
Longer values = smoother output, less noise
👉 Default: 14
➡️ EMA Trend Filter
Determines overall trend direction based on EMA slope. Used to filter out signals that go against the broader move.
Helps reduce countertrend entries
Adjustable to suit your strategy
👉 Recommended: 200 EMA
➡️ Pivot Lookback (Left & Right)
Defines how many bars the system looks back and forward to identify swing highs/lows for divergence detection.
Narrow: more responsive but can be noisy
Wide: slower but more stable pivot zones
👉 Default: 5 left / 5 right
➡️ Histogram Toggle
Enables a visual histogram showing how volume pressure deviates from its recent average.
Useful for spotting shifts in flow intensity
👉 Optional for added visual detail
➡️ Liquidity Zones
Highlights potential exhaustion zones based on MFI value:
Above 80 = potential distribution (buying pressure peaking)
Below 20 = possible accumulation (selling pressure fading)
👉 Zones are fully customizable (color, opacity, background)
➡️ Custom Threshold Zones
Set your own upper/lower boundaries for liquidity extremes helpful when adapting to different markets or asset classes.
👉 Especially useful outside of crypto/forex
➡️ Show LiquidEdge Line
Toggle the main MFI slope line. When turned off, liquidity zones and levels also disappear.
👉 Use if you prefer to focus only on histogram/divergences
➡️ Style Settings
Customize line colors, histogram appearance, and background shading
👉 Helps tailor visuals to your chart layout
➡️ Simplified Mode
Removes all colors and replaces visuals with a clean, grayscale output.
👉 Ideal for minimalist or distraction-free charting

Color-coded (faded green/red) for clarity
👉 Table position is customizable on your chart
➡️ Alerts
Get notified when any of these conditions are met:
✅ Bullish or bearish divergence detected
✅ Price enters high/low liquidity zones
✅ Signal score reaches a defined value
➡️ Visibility Settings
Control which timeframes display the LiquidEdge indicator
👉 Best used on 3-minute and above
⚠️ Not recommended on ultra-low or second-based charts due to noise
🔟 Q&A – What Traders Usually Ask
➡️ Can this help reduce bad trades?
To a degree, yes. LiquidEdge is built to highlight areas where price may react, based on volume pressure, liquidity zones, and divergence patterns. It can offer clarity in sideways or messy markets, helping traders avoid impulsive or poorly timed entries.
That said, it’s not predictive or guaranteed. It works best when used with broader context including structure, support/resistance, trend, and volume-based confluence.
👉 Reminder: LiquidEdge is not a signal tool. It’s a decision-support framework designed to help you assess potential shifts, not replace judgment or trading rules.
➡️ Is this just another flashy signal tool?
No. LiquidEdge doesn’t give buy/sell alerts. Instead, it visualizes volume shifts using MFI slope, divergence filtering, and trend-based scoring. It’s built to help you understand why price action may be changing not just react to a one-dimensional signal.
You’re seeing how volume pressure evolves across timeframes, which gives added context to what’s unfolding in the market.
➡️ How do I know this isn’t just another overhyped tool?
LiquidEdge is based on real trading logic: volume pressure (via MFI slope), price behavior, and divergence within trend and liquidity zones. It was developed and tested by traders, not packaged by marketers.
No performance is guaranteed. It’s designed to support your decisions not promise results.
➡️ Will this work with my trading style?
If you trade any market with volume crypto, stocks, or futures LiquidEdge can add value.
✔️ Scalpers: Best from 3-minute and up
✔️ Swing traders: Works well on 4H, Daily, Weekly
✔️ Investors: Weekly charts show pressure buildup over time
⚠️ Avoid ultra-low timeframes (under 1M) or illiquid markets, as noise and irregular data can reduce reliability.
➡️ Can I trust the signals?
These are not buy/sell signals. LiquidEdge offers confidence-weighted insights based on:
✔️ Valid divergence
✔️ Zone positioning (above 80 / below 20)
✔️ Optional trend alignment (via EMA)
Each setup is scored visually to reflect how much confluence exists. You can combine that information with structure, price action, or your existing tools to evaluate opportunities.
👉 Think of LiquidEdge as a decision filter not a trigger.
It’s meant to slow down impulsive trades and help you make more context-aware decisions.
1️⃣1️⃣ Limitations – Know When It’s Less Effective
LiquidEdge performs best in stable, high-volume markets where volume data is consistent and structure is visible.
It’s not recommended for:
❌ Low-volume tokens
❌ Micro-cap or penny stocks
❌ Newly listed assets with limited trading history
These types of markets often show inconsistent or erratic volume behavior, making it difficult for LiquidEdge to accurately assess pressure or identify reliable divergences.
⚠️ During major news events or sudden volatility spikes, volume and price behavior can become disconnected or extreme. This may distort MFI slope calculations and reduce the accuracy of divergence or confidence scoring.
LiquidEdge is built to read structured volume flow. When market conditions become highly erratic or unpredictable, it's best to:
Wait for structure to return
Use it alongside other filters for additional confirmation
This isn't a flaw it's simply the nature of tools that rely on consistency in price and volume data.
1️⃣2️⃣ Real Chart Examples – See It in Action
Now that you’ve seen how LiquidEdge works, here are real-world chart examples from various asset classes
including:
✅ Crypto
✅ Stocks
✅ Futures
✅ Commodities
These examples demonstrate how LiquidEdge behaves under different conditions, and how both the line (MFI slope) and histogram (volume deviation) can be used to interpret market flow.
In each walkthrough, you’ll see:
How the histogram can highlight potential momentum shifts
When the slope line provides stronger directional clarity
Examples of possible hidden accumulation or distribution (before price responds)
What to watch out for such as weak volume, false divergences, or conflicting flow signals
👉 These are real examples based on live market data not theoretical setups. They’re meant to help you recognize how LiquidEdge reacts across multiple styles and timeframes.
Let’s walk through each one and break down the logic step by step, so you can understand how to evaluate setups using structure, volume behavior, and context-driven confluence.
Example: Microsoft (MSFT) – Possible Hidden Accumulation
In this setup, price was moving lower within a short-term downtrend. However, LiquidEdge began showing signs of increasing inflow pressure a common characteristic of accumulation, where volume rises even as price declines.
This divergence suggested that buying interest may have been increasing behind the scenes, despite weak price action on the surface.
Step-by-step breakdown:
👉 Trend context – Price was clearly trending down at the time
👉 Volume divergence – Price made lower lows, but LiquidEdge slope was rising = possible bullish divergence
👉 Accumulation clue – The rising slope, despite falling price, pointed to volume inflow often seen during quiet accumulation
👉 Histogram support – Volume pressure (via the histogram) also increased, confirming the flow shift
👉 Anticipating reaction – When liquidity pressure rises ahead of price, it can signal potential reversal interest
In this case, price later moved sharply higher. While not guaranteed, setups like this illustrate how divergence + volume flow may help highlight early accumulation zones before price confirms the shift.
Same Setup – Focusing on the Histogram Alone
Here, we’re revisiting the Microsoft setup but this time focusing only on the histogram, without the MFI slope line.
Even without the directional slope, the histogram showed rising volume pressure while price continued to drift lower. This visual pattern may indicate that buying interest was quietly increasing, despite weak price movement.
This is where the histogram adds value: it helps visualize the intensity of volume flow over time. When volume pressure builds during a flat or declining price phase, it can be consistent with accumulation where larger participants begin positioning before the market responds.
This example highlights how the histogram alone can provide early insight into underlying volume dynamics even before price shifts noticeably.
Filtering with EMA and why It Matters
Here, we revisit the Microsoft example this time applying the 200 EMA filter, which helps define the broader trend.
Once enabled, LiquidEdge automatically removed any bullish or bearish divergence signals that were against the prevailing trend. This helped reduce noise and focus only on setups aligned with market structure.
✅ The EMA acts as a contextual filter.
For example, if a bullish divergence occurs during a confirmed downtrend, LiquidEdge suppresses that signal helping you avoid setups that may carry more risk.
This filtering mechanism is especially useful in fast or choppy markets, where not all divergences are meaningful.
Want More Flexibility? Adjust the Filter
If you're a more aggressive trader or prefer shorter-term signals, you can reduce the EMA length (e.g., to 150, 50, or even 25). This increases the number of setups shown but also raises the importance of additional context and confirmation.
⚠️ Keep in mind:
❌ More signals doesn’t always mean better outcomes
✅ Focused, context-aware signals tend to be more consistent with broader market pressure
If you’re using this in combination with strategies like options trading, this filter can help refine your entry zones especially when paired with other structure or volatility tools.
Distribution Example and Bitcoin Setup Before a Major Drop
In this example, Bitcoin was trading in a relatively tight range while price continued to push upward. However, LiquidEdge began to show signs of volume outflow, which can suggest potential distribution.
Here’s what was observed:
🔴 Price was moving up inside a horizontal range
🔴 LiquidEdge’s slope indicated declining volume pressure
🔴 Several bearish divergence signals appeared during this consolidation phase
🔴 The histogram also showed weakening flow, even before price broke down
These overlapping signals pointed to a possible distribution phase, where buying momentum was fading despite price still holding up.
🧭 Signs to Watch for in Potential Distribution:
1️⃣ Price holding flat or rising slightly within a tight range
2️⃣ Volume pressure (line or histogram) sloping downward
3️⃣ Repeated bearish divergences forming at the highs
4️⃣ Lack of follow-through on bullish setups signaling hesitation in demand
While LiquidEdge can’t predict market outcomes, this scenario demonstrates how a combination of divergence, outflow, and failure to break out may serve as early warnings that momentum is shifting beneath the surface.
Failed Auction Example – Volume Shift Before a Breakdown
In this example, price attempted to break out above a recent high, creating the appearance of a bullish continuation. However, LiquidEdge began to signal volume outflow, despite the upward price move a potential sign of a failed auction.
Here’s what was observed:
👉 Price made a new high, appearing to break resistance
👉 LiquidEdge slope and histogram both showed declining liquidity
👉 The indicator formed lower lows, even as price pushed higher
👉 This divergence suggested that volume wasn’t supporting the breakout
Shortly after, price reversed and returned back inside the range which is a common characteristic of failed auction behavior.
🧭 Spotting a Potential Failed Auction with LiquidEdge:
1️⃣ Price breaks above a recent high
2️⃣ Volume flow (line + histogram) shows outflow, not inflow
3️⃣ Indicator forms lower lows while price makes higher highs (bearish divergence)
4️⃣ Market reverts back into the previous range without follow-through
While no tool can predict outcomes, this setup demonstrated how volume pressure and divergence can help identify moments where a breakout may lack real support offering context before price action confirms the shift.
Reading the Histogram - Spotting Pressure Fades
In this example, price was still rising but the LiquidEdge histogram showed falling volume pressure. This type of divergence between price and volume can serve as a potential early signal that momentum may be fading.
🔻 Histogram levels declined while price continued higher
🔻 This suggested that buying pressure was weakening, even though price hadn’t turned
🔻 Volume flow behavior didn’t support the continuation possibly indicating buyer exhaustion
Just before the peak, the histogram nearly reached its lower threshold, despite price still being near its highs.
💡 How to Read It:
When volume pressure (shown by the histogram) starts to fade while price is still rising, it can indicate that momentum is weakening. This may precede a pullback or reversal particularly if other factors like divergence or zone exhaustion are also present.
Conversely, rising histogram values during a price drop may suggest potential accumulation.
👉 Use the histogram as a volume intensity gauge, not a signal on its own especially when evaluating whether a move is supported by actual flow, or just price momentum.
The Table – Fast, Visual Multi-Timeframe Flow Insight
The multi-timeframe flow table in LiquidEdge provides a consolidated view of volume momentum across several key timeframes so you don’t need to switch between charts to compare flow strength.
👉 Instead of flipping from 5-minute to 15M, 1H, 4H, and Daily, the table displays flow direction on all of them at a glance.
Example layout:
🔼 Daily: Up
🔽 1H: Down
🔼 15M: Up
🔽 5M: Down
This setup gives you a quick read on whether volume momentum is aligned across multiple timeframes or diverging which can help frame your trade approach.
🧠 Why It’s Useful:
✅ Supports timeframe alignment
If higher timeframes show strong inflow while lower ones are mixed, you may interpret it as a swing-based opportunity. If short timeframes show pressure but higher frames are flat, it might suggest short-term setups with caution.
✅ Improves context awareness
Instead of interpreting a move in isolation, the table helps you assess whether short-term signals are part of a broader shift or going against higher timeframe flow.
💡 Pro Tip: Use the table as a starting point in your analysis. It’s a simple but effective snapshot of current liquidity pressure across the board helping you plan trades with broader context, rather than reacting chart-by-chart.
🔚 Final Thoughts
If you're focused on trading with better clarity and structure, LiquidEdge is designed to help you interpret what’s happening beneath the surface not just follow price movement.
While many tools highlight price alone, LiquidEdge combines volume pressure, divergence filtering, and trend-based context to help identify potential areas of accumulation, distribution, or momentum shifts even before they become obvious on a chart.
👉 This isn’t just another signal tool. It’s a framework to support smarter decision-making:
✔️ One that helps you filter out noise
✔️ One that scores setups using multiple layers of confirmation
✔️ One that brings volume context into every trade idea
Whether you're scalping on a 5-minute chart or managing a longer-term swing trade, LiquidEdge is built to help you stay aligned with volume-driven behavior not just react to price alone.
If you've struggled with late entries, unreliable setups, or second-guessing trades, this tool was designed to bring more structure to your process. It won’t remove all uncertainty but it can help you stay more selective, confident, and intentional.
✅ Trade with clarity
✅ Stay process-driven
✅ Focus on structure, not noise
LiquidEdge is not meant to replace your strategy. It’s here to enhance it.
In this chart, the 200 EMA filter was applied. As a result, only signals that aligned with the dominant trend direction were displayed helping to reduce distractions and focus on setups with stronger context.
💡 Using a higher EMA setting like 200 can reduce the number of signals shown, but may help you focus on higher-conviction opportunities.
That said, every trader is different:
Longer EMAs = fewer signals, but more trend-filtered setups
Shorter EMAs = more signals, faster entries but with potentially more noise
👉 Adjust the filter based on your trading style. Use a 200 EMA for swing trading, or reduce it to 50, 25, or even 5 if you're trading more aggressively or intraday.
LiquidEdge adapts to you not the other way around.
🔁 Adjusting EMA for Your Trading Style
Personal Tip: When trading more aggressively, I often use a 5 EMA filter especially when combining histogram strength with other tools. This increases signal responsiveness and may help highlight short-term flow shifts more quickly.
Below are visual examples that show how different EMA lengths impact the behavior of LiquidEdge:
50 EMA ON
25 EMA ON
5 EMA ON
Lower EMA Example – Gold with the 5 EMA
In this example, the 5 EMA filter was applied to Gold. As expected, more signals were plotted compared to higher EMA settings. The tool became more responsive to rapid shifts in volume momentum, making it more suitable for fast-paced trading environments.
This setting can help traders who prefer early entries but it also introduces more sensitivity, so context and additional confirmation become even more important.
Each setting affects signal frequency and filtering:
Higher EMA → fewer signals, more trend-confirmed setups
Lower EMA → more signals, quicker responses, but with more potential for noise
Choose what fits your approach:
Long-term swing → Stick with 200 EMA
Intraday or scalping → Consider shorter EMAs (50, 25, or 5)
💡 Reminder: EMA filtering is fully adjustable. LiquidEdge doesn’t lock you into one trading style it’s meant to adapt to your process, whether you’re swing trading or scalping short-term moves.
But There’s a Catch…
Using a lower EMA setting (like 5) opens up faster, more frequent signals but it also increases the need for precision and stronger trade management.
❗ More signals = More responsiveness
❗ Faster setups mean quicker decisions
❗ Risk control becomes even more important
💡 Lower Timeframes = More Detail, Less Margin for Error
A short EMA (like 5) can help you:
✅ Identify early momentum shifts
✅ Respond before traditional trend-followers
✅ Highlight short-term divergence and volume changes
But it also comes with tradeoffs:
❌ Greater signal noise
❌ Higher potential for misreads or fakeouts
❌ Requires clear structure and disciplined entries
🚩 Watch Out for Liquidity Grabs
In lower timeframes, a common trap is the liquidity grab where price pushes beyond recent highs or lows, triggers stops, then quickly reverses.
📌 These moves can look like breakouts, but often reverse quickly possibly reflecting institutional order placement or low-liquidity manipulation.
🧭 How to Approach It Smartly
✅ Use structure: Mark support and resistance to frame moves
✅ Confirm volume behavior: Is histogram strength rising or fading?
✅ Avoid chasing: Look for confluence, not just a single signal
✅ Be intentional with stops: Place them with structure in mind to avoid being swept out
NASDAQ Futures Example – Low Timeframe Setups with LiquidEdge
In this example, we look at how LiquidEdge was used to identify both short and long setups on the NASDAQ Futures (NQ) particularly on a low timeframe (5M), where quick decision-making and volume precision matter most.
⚠️ A Note on Futures and Volume
When trading futures, especially on intraday charts, it’s important to separate overnight volume from regular session activity.
🕒 Overnight Volume ≠ Real Volume Context
Overnight price action is informative, but the volume data itself may not reflect true market participation. In LiquidEdge, histogram and pressure calculations emphasize regular session flow helping avoid skewed signals that could come from low-volume overnight moves.
Using the Histogram to Spot Potential Shifts
One of the key cues I use is color transition in the histogram:
🔴 A flip from strong green to red can signal fading buying pressure, sometimes marking the beginning of a potential short setup.
🟢 A shift from red to green may indicate that buyers are returning, suggesting possible accumulation.
These shifts serve as early visual cues of changing pressure especially when confirmed by other tools or context.
🔁 Adding Context with the Line + Structure
After spotting a histogram shift, I look at:
1️⃣ Slope Line – Is it confirming the same directional pressure?
2️⃣ Support/Resistance – Are we near a meaningful zone?
3️⃣ Additional Tools – This includes trendlines, VWAP, EMAs, and overall price structure.
On lower timeframes like 5M, these pieces become even more important. LiquidEdge gives directional insight, but your full setup provides confirmation and execution logic.
⚠️ Disclaimer
LiquidEdge is not a signal tool. It’s a visual representation of market pressure and flow designed to help you make more informed trading and investing decisions. It shows you what’s happening beneath the price action but you are still responsible for your decisions.
Always combine LiquidEdge with your own strategy, research, and supporting tools. That includes trend analysis, support/resistance levels, chart patterns, and fundamentals (like P/E ratios, price-to-sales, debt ratios, etc.).
This tool should never be used alone or treated as financial advice.

Fibonacci Optimal Entry Zone [OTE] (Zeiierman)█ Overview
Fibonacci Optimal Entry Zone (Zeiierman) is a high-precision market structure tool designed to help traders identify ideal entry zones during trending markets. Built on the principles of Smart Money Concepts (SMC) and Fibonacci retracements, this indicator highlights key areas where price is most likely to react — specifically within the "Golden Zone" (between the 50% and 61.8% retracement).
It tracks structural pivot shifts (CHoCH) and dynamically adjusts Fibonacci levels based on real-time swing tracking. Whether you're trading breakouts, pullbacks, or optimal entries, this tool brings unparalleled clarity to structure-based strategies.
Ideal for traders who rely on confluence, this indicator visually synchronizes swing highs/lows, market structure shifts, Fibonacci retracement levels, and trend alignment — all without clutter or lag.
⚪ The Structural Assumption
Price moves in waves, but key retracements often lead to continuation or reversal — especially when aligned with structure breaks and trend shifts.
The Optimal Entry Zone captures this behavior by anchoring Fibonacci levels between recent swing extremes. The most powerful area — the Golden Zone — marks where institutional re-entry is likely, providing traders with a sniper-like roadmap to structure-based entries.
█ How It Works
⚪ Structure Tracking Engine
At its core, the indicator detects pivots and classifies trend direction:
Structure Period – Determines the depth of pivots used to detect swing highs/lows.
CHoCH – Break of structure logic identifies where the trend shifts or continues, marked visually on the chart.
Bullish & Bearish Modes – Independently toggle uptrend and downtrend detection and styling.
⚪ Fibonacci Engine
Upon each confirmed structural shift, Fibonacci retracement levels are projected between swing extremes:
Custom Levels – Choose which retracements (0.50, 0.618, etc.) are shown.
Real-Time Adjustments – When "Swing Tracker" is enabled, levels and labels update dynamically as price forms new swings.
Example:
If you disable the Swing Tracker, the Golden Level is calculated using the most recent confirmed swing high and low.
If you enable the Swing Tracker, the Golden Level is calculated from the latest swing high or low, making it more adaptive as the trend evolves in real time.
█ How to Use
⚪ Structure-Based Entry
Wait for CHoCH events and use the resulting Fibonacci projection to identify entry points. Enter trades as price taps into the Golden Zone, especially when confluence forms with swing structure or order blocks.
⚪ Real-Time Reaction Tracking
Enable Swing Tracker to keep the tool live — constantly updating zones as price shifts. This is especially useful for scalpers or intraday traders who rely on fresh swing zones.
█ Settings
Structure Period – Number of bars used to define swing pivots. Larger values = stronger structure.
Swing Tracker – Auto-updates fib levels as new highs/lows form.
Show Previous Levels – Keep older fib zones on chart or reset with each structure shift.
