Chuck Dukas Market Phases of Trends (based on 2 Moving Averages)This script is based on the article “Defining The Bull And The Bear” by Chuck Duckas, published in Stocks & Commodities V. 25:13 (14-22); (S&C Bonus Issue, 2007).
The article “Defining The Bull And The Bear” discusses the concepts of “bullish” and “bearish” in relation to the price behavior of financial instruments. Chuck Dukas explains the importance of analyzing price trends and provides a framework for categorizing price activity into six phases. These phases, including recovery, accumulation, bullish, warning, distribution, and bearish, help to assess the quality of the price structure and guide decision-making in trading. Moving averages are used as tools for determining the context preceding the current price action, and the slope of a moving average is seen as an indicator of trend and price phase analysis.
The six phases of trends
// Definitions of Market Phases
recovery_phase = src > ma050 and src < ma200 and ma050 < ma200 // color: blue
accumulation_phase = src > ma050 and src > ma200 and ma050 < ma200 // color: purple
bullish_phase = src > ma050 and src > ma200 and ma050 > ma200 // color: green
warning_phase = src < ma050 and src > ma200 and ma050 > ma200 // color: yellow
distribution_phase = src < ma050 and src < ma200 and ma050 > ma200 // color: orange
bearish_phase = src < ma050 and src < ma200 and ma050 < ma200 // color red
Recovery Phase : This phase marks the beginning of a new trend after a period of consolidation or downtrend. It is characterized by the gradual increase in prices as the market starts to recover from previous losses.
Accumulation Phase : In this phase, the market continues to build a base as prices stabilize before making a significant move. It is a period of consolidation where buying and selling are balanced.
Bullish Phase : The bullish phase indicates a strong upward trend in prices with higher highs and higher lows. It is a period of optimism and positive sentiment in the market.
Warning Phase : This phase occurs when the bullish trend starts to show signs of weakness or exhaustion. It serves as a cautionary signal to traders and investors that a potential reversal or correction may be imminent.
Distribution Phase : The distribution phase is characterized by the market topping out as selling pressure increases. It is a period where supply exceeds demand, leading to a potential shift in trend direction.
Bearish Phase : The bearish phase signifies a strong downward trend in prices with lower lows and lower highs. It is a period of pessimism and negative sentiment in the market.
These rules of the six phases outline the cyclical nature of market trends and provide traders with a framework for understanding and analyzing price behavior to make informed trading decisions based on the current market phase.
60-period channel
The 60-period channel should be applied differently in each phase of the market cycle.
Recovery Phase : In this phase, the 60-period channel can help identify the beginning of a potential uptrend as price stabilizes or improves. Traders can look for new highs frequently in the 60-period channel to confirm the trend initiation or continuation.
Accumulation Phase : During the accumulation phase, the 60-period channel can highlight that the current price is sufficiently strong to be above recent price and longer-term price. Traders may observe new highs frequently in the 60-period channel as the slope of the 50-period moving average (SMA) trends upwards while the 200-period moving average (SMA) slope is losing its downward slope.
Bullish Phase : In the bullish phase, the 60-period channel showing a series of higher highs is crucial for confirming the uptrend. Additionally, traders should observe an upward-sloping 50-period SMA above an upward-sloping 200-period SMA for further validation of the bullish phase.
Warning Phase : When in the warning phase, the 60-period channel can provide insights into whether the current price is weaker than recent prices. Traders should pay attention to the relationship between the price close, the 50-period SMA, and the 200-period SMA to gauge the strength of the phase.
Distribution Phase : In the distribution phase, traders should look for new lows frequently in the 60-period channel, hinting at a weakening trend. It is crucial to observe that the 50-period SMA is still above the 200-period SMA in this phase.
Bearish Phase : Lastly, in the bearish phase, the 60-period channel reflecting a series of lower lows confirms the downtrend. Traders should also note that the price close is below both the 50-period SMA and the 200-period SMA, with the relationship of the 50-period SMA being less than the 200-period SMA.
By carefully analyzing the 60-period channel in each phase, traders can better understand market trends and make informed decisions regarding their investments.

TARVIS Labs - Alts Macro Bottom/Top SignalsSCRIPT DESCRIPTION
PLEASE READ THROUGH THIS CAREFULLY.
This is a script specifically written to help provide indicators from a macro view for ALTS. This script needs to be run on the 1 day. It helps indicate when to accumulate alts, and when its in a bull run when this a bull run top beginning to form with warnings, and a indicator that a top is in. This is described further below.
NOTE - in order to accomodate most alts the script had to be broad enough in its indicators to cover many different scenarios. If you are trading a smaller altcoin I suggest taking a more conservative approach to accumulation.
FAQs:
1. Why is there no accumulation zone showing up before an uptrend?
This could be because the trend has been so strong for this coin that there hasn't been a strong enough signal to accumulate or this could be that the chart doesnt have enough historical data (needs over 2 years) for the indicators to flash green.
2. Why is there no tops shown for a chart Im looking at?
This is either because there isn't enough historical data (needs over 2 years) for the indicators to build or because the altcoin didnt perform as well as the rest of the market. The altcoin has to perform as well as the market over the length of the bull run in order for the signals to show. Typically an altcoin that shows sharp increases and sharp drops shortly after will not have signals show up.
3. The "Potential End of Bull Run Top Indicator" showed up but we weren't near the top yet, why is that?
The alts indicator has to work across many altcoins, and their trends are not all the same. This can lead to the indicator showing but not necessarily being the exact top. The data from the alts macro bottom/top signals should be paired with the "TARVIS Labs bitcoin macro bottom/top signals" indicator for BTC. The reasoning is because if the top is not showing that its in for Bitcoin its likely that the altcoin's top is also not in. You should use the two in tandem to know if the bull run top is very likely in.
ACCUMULATION ZONE INDICATOR - LIGHT GREEN
Description
When we look at the general crypto landscape, the 200d & 300d EMAs are extremely useful. We can use their cross and momentum in order to determine a bottom forming. If the price has fallen over 40% below the 200 day EMA and the 200 day EMA has crossed below the 300d EMA, its a downtrend with a steep fall, which could indicate a good time to accumulate. When we see the 200 day EMA's slope drop drastically (over 5% w/w) it is also a good signal to accumulate.
Strategy for Usage
For alts, the strategy can vary drastically. You need to take into account:
1. the market cap of the altcoin, is it a smaller market cap altcoin or a larger one?
2. historical trend, does it typically trend strongly with a smaller accumulation zone?
Once you've taken these into account you can form a strategy. For example, if the altcoin has had smaller accumulation zones historically you'll want to take advantage of the accumulation zones when they pop up and be more aggressive (say a 30 day accumulation). If the altcoin has historically had longer accumulation zones then you'll want to be more conservative with your strategy and potentially have a 100 day (or even longer) accumulation period. If the altcoin is a smaller market cap alt, you will want to also take that into account. You'll want to likely be more conservative,
STRONG BUY IN ACCUMULATION ZONE INDICATOR - DARK GREEN
Description
We can add to the bottoming signal by looking for strong downtrends inside the bottoming signal. We do this by seeing when the 36 day EMA has a slope decreasing by 2% day/day.
Strategy for Usage
These strong downtrend days can be used to add more to our accumulation strategy. We can add more on these days (ex. double what you were planning to on a typical accumulation day).
LOCAL TOP NEAR BULL RUN TOP INDICATOR - RED
Description
When the 100 week EMA is in a strong uptrend (4% increase w/w) we can look for significant loss of momentum in order to determine if a local top is in near a bull run top. This strategy uses a MACD with 9/36/9 config for the daily chart. We look for the signals momentum loss, when the slope becomes negative.
Strategy for Usage
Ideally the right strategy to use here is to exit the market when this indicator starts. When the indicator ends if the "Potential End of Bull Run Top Indicator" is not showing on the chart you can buy back into the market.
POTENTIAL END OF BULL RUN TOP INDICATOR - DARK RED
Description
When the 100 week EMA is in a strong uptrend (3% increase w/w), and a MACD config of 108/234/9 has a negative signal slope signifying a very large momentum loss, but the 1d 18 EMA is still above the 1d 63 EMA we show this signal.
Strategy for Usage
This is a strong indicator that the top is in, and it potentially being the bull run top. Because alts can vary strongly in their charts, this should be a strong warning but not necessarily a certainty that the bull run is over.
Volume Trend Signals | iSolani
Volume Trend Signals | iSolani: Syncing Price Momentum with Volume Confirmation
In the dance between price action and volume, discerning true trend commitment requires seeing how institutional players vote with their capital. The Volume Trend Signals | iSolani illuminates this interplay by generating precise crossover signals when volume-accelerated price movements gain sustained traction. Unlike conventional volume oscillators, it employs a two-layered confirmation system —blending volatility-adjusted thresholds with adaptive smoothing—to spotlight high-probability entries aligned with smart-money activity.
Core Methodology
The indicator executes a five-phase process to filter meaningful trends:
Logarithmic Price Scaling: Measures percentage-based price changes via HLC3 typical price, reducing large-value bias in volatile markets.
Volatility Dynamic Filter: Uses a 30-bar standard deviation of price changes, scaled by user sensitivity (default 2x), to set momentum thresholds.
Volume Governance: Caps raw volume at 3x its 40-bar SMA, neutralizing outlier spikes while preserving institutional footprints.
Directional Flow Accumulation: Sums volume as positive/negative based on whether price movement breaches volatility-derived boundaries.
Signal Refinement: Smooths the Volume Flow Indicator (VFI) with a 3-bar SMA, then triggers alerts via crosses over a 20-bar EMA signal line.
Breaking New Ground
This tool introduces three evolutionary improvements over traditional volume indicators:
EMA Convergence Signals: Unlike basic zero-cross systems, it requires VFI to overtake its own EMA, confirming sustained momentum shifts.
Context-Aware Volume: The 3x volume cap adapts to current market activity, preventing false signals during news-driven liquidity spikes.
Minimalist Visual Alerts: Uses and symbols below/above candles, reducing chart clutter while emphasizing pivotal moments.
Engine Under the Hood
The script’s logic flows through four computational stages:
Data Conditioning: Computes HLC3 and its log-based rate of change for normalized price analysis.
Threshold Calibration: Derives dynamic entry/exit levels from 30-period volatility multiplied by user sensitivity.
Volume Processing: Filters and signs volume based on price meeting threshold criteria.
Signal Generation: Triggers buy/sell labels when the 3-bar SMA of cumulative flow crosses the 20-bar EMA.
Standard Configuration
Optimized defaults balance responsiveness and reliability:
VFI Length: 40-bar accumulation window
Sensitivity: 2.0 (double the volatility-derived threshold)
Signal Smoothing: 20-bar EMA
Volume Cap: 3x average (hidden parameter)
Smoothing: Enabled (3-bar SMA on VFI)
By fusing adaptive volume filtering with EMA-confirmed momentum, the Volume Trend Signals | iSolani cuts through market noise to reveal institutional-grade trend inflection points. Its unique crossover logic—prioritizing confirmation over speed—makes it particularly effective in swing trading and trend-following strategies across equities, commodities, and forex markets.

Trading Desk - OPEN SOURCEThe Trading Desk - is a powerful tool designed to identify key market stages based on Break of Structure (BOS) patterns. This indicator tracks Bullish and Bearish Market Breaks (MBs) to determine four crucial market stages: Accumulation, Distribution, Reaccumulation, and Redistribution.
Accumulation: Identified when a series of Bullish MBs dominate the market, signaling a potential upward trend.
Distribution: Triggered by dominant Bearish MBs, indicating a possible market decline.
Reaccumulation: Occurs after a sequence of Bullish MBs is followed by up to three Bearish MBs, suggesting a continuation of the upward trend after a temporary pullback.
Redistribution: Appears when a sequence of Bearish MBs is followed by up to three Bullish MBs, indicating a potential continuation of the downward trend after a brief upward correction.
The indicator also includes a dynamic table displayed at the top right of the chart, showing the current market stage in real-time. This helps traders quickly assess the market environment and make informed trading decisions.
Ideal for: Traders looking to understand market structure and identify trend continuation or reversal phases.

Chaikin Oscillator Multi-Timeframe BiasOverview
Chaikin Oscillator Multi-Timeframe Bias is an indicator designed to help traders align with institutional buying and selling activity by analyzing Chaikin Oscillator signals across two timeframes—a higher timeframe (HTF) for trend bias and a lower timeframe (LTF) for timing. This dual-confirmation model helps traders avoid false breakouts and trade in sync with market momentum and accumulation or distribution dynamics.
Core Concepts
The Chaikin Oscillator measures the momentum of accumulation and distribution based on price and volume. Institutional traders typically accumulate slowly and steadily, and the Chaikin Oscillator helps reveal this pattern. Multi-timeframe analysis confirms whether short-term price action supports the longer-term trend. This indicator applies a smoothing EMA to each Chaikin Oscillator to help confirm direction and reduce noise.
How to Use the Indicator
Start by selecting your timeframes. The higher timeframe, set by default to Daily, establishes the broader directional bias. The lower timeframe, defaulted to 30 minutes, identifies short-term momentum confirmation. The indicator displays one of five labels: CALL Bias, CALL Wait, PUT Bias, PUT Wait, or NEUTRAL. CALL Bias means both HTF and LTF are bullish, signaling a potential opportunity for long or call trades. CALL Wait indicates that the HTF is bullish, but the LTF hasn’t confirmed yet. PUT Bias signals bearish alignment in both HTF and LTF, while PUT Wait indicates HTF is bearish and LTF has not yet confirmed. NEUTRAL means there is no alignment between timeframes and directional trades are not advised.
Interpretation
When the Chaikin Oscillator is above zero and also above its EMA, this indicates bullish momentum and accumulation. When the oscillator is below zero and below its EMA, it suggests bearish momentum and distribution. Bias labels identify when both timeframes are aligned for a higher-probability directional setup. When a “Wait” label appears, it means one timeframe has confirmed bias but the other has not, suggesting the trader should monitor closely but delay entry.
Notes
This indicator includes alerts for both CALL and PUT bias confirmation when both timeframes are aligned. It works on all asset classes, including stocks, ETFs, cryptocurrencies, and futures. Timeframes are fully customizable, and users may explore combinations such as 1D and 1H, or 4H and 15M depending on their strategy. For best results, consider pairing this tool with volume, volatility, or price action analysis.
Exposure Oscillator (Cumulative 0 to ±100%)
Exposure Oscillator (Cumulative 0 to ±100%)
This Pine Script indicator plots an "Exposure Oscillator" on the chart, which tracks the cumulative market exposure from a range of technical buy and sell signals. The exposure is measured on a scale from -100% (maximum short exposure) to +100% (maximum long exposure), helping traders assess the strength of their position in the market. It provides an intuitive visual cue to aid decision-making for trend-following strategies.
Buy Signals (Increase Exposure Score by +10%)
Buy Signal 1 (Cross Above 21 EMA):
This signal is triggered when the price crosses above the 21-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA), where the current bar closes above the EMA21, and the previous bar closed below the EMA21. This indicates a potential upward price movement as the market shifts into a bullish trend.
buySignal1 = ta.crossover(close, ema21)
Buy Signal 2 (Trending Above 21 EMA):
This signal is triggered when the price closes above the 21-period EMA for each of the last 5 bars, indicating a sustained bullish trend. It confirms that the price is consistently above the EMA21 for a significant period.

buySignal6 = low > sma50
Buy Signal 7 (Accumulation Day):
An accumulation day occurs when the closing price is in the upper half of the daily range (greater than 50%) and the volume is larger than the previous bar's volume, suggesting buying pressure and accumulation.
buySignal7 = (close - low) / (high - low) > 0.5 and volume > volume
Buy Signal 8 (Higher High):
This signal occurs when the current bar’s high exceeds the highest high of the previous 14 bars, indicating a breakout or strong upward momentum.
buySignal8 = high > ta.highest(high, 14)
Buy Signal 9 (Key Reversal Bar):
This signal is generated when the stock opens below the low of the previous bar but rallies to close above the previous bar’s high, signaling a potential reversal from bearish to bullish.
buySignal9 = open < low and close > high
Buy Signal 10 (Distribution Day Fall Off):
This signal is triggered when a distribution day (a day with high volume and a close near the low of the range) "falls off" the rolling 25-bar period, indicating the end of a bearish trend or selling pressure.

This signal is true when the highest price of the current bar is below the 50-period SMA, indicating weak bullishness or a potential bearish reversal.
sellSignal6 = high < sma50
Sell Signal 7 (Distribution Day):
A distribution day is identified when the closing range of a bar is less than 50% and the volume is larger than the previous bar's volume, suggesting that selling pressure is increasing.
sellSignal7 = (close - low) / (high - low) < 0.5 and volume > volume
Sell Signal 8 (Lower Low):
This signal occurs when the current bar's low is less than the lowest low of the previous 14 bars, indicating a breakdown or strong downward momentum.
sellSignal8 = low < ta.lowest(low, 14)
Sell Signal 9 (Downside Reversal Bar):
A downside reversal bar occurs when the stock opens above the previous bar's high but falls to close below the previous bar’s low, signaling a reversal from bullish to bearish.
sellSignal9 = open > high and close < low
Sell Signal 10 (Distribution Cluster):
This signal is triggered when a distribution day occurs three times in the rolling 7-bar period, indicating significant selling pressure.
sellSignal10 = ta.valuewhen((close < low) and volume > volume , 1, 7) >= 3
Theme Mode:
Users can select the theme mode (Auto, Dark, or Light) to match the chart's background or to manually choose a light or dark theme for the oscillator's appearance.
Exposure Score Calculation: The script calculates a cumulative exposure score based on a series of buy and sell signals.
Buy signals increase the exposure score, while sell signals decrease it. Each signal impacts the score by ±10%.
Signal Conditions: The buy and sell signals are derived from multiple conditions, including crossovers with moving averages (EMA21, SMA50, SMA200), trend behavior, and price/volume analysis.
Oscillator Visualization: The exposure score is visualized as a line on the chart, changing color based on whether the exposure is positive (long position) or negative (short position). It is limited to the range of -100% to +100%.
Position Type: The indicator also indicates the position type based on the exposure score, labeling it as "Long," "Short," or "Neutral."
Horizontal Lines: Reference lines at 0%, 100%, and -100% visually mark neutral, increasing long, and increasing short exposure levels.
Exposure Table: A table displays the current exposure level (in percentage) and position type ("Long," "Short," or "Neutral"), updated dynamically based on the oscillator’s value.
Inputs:
Theme Mode: Choose "Auto" to use the default chart theme, or manually select "Dark" or "Light."
Usage:
This oscillator is designed to help traders track market sentiment, gauge exposure levels, and manage risk. It can be used for long-term trend-following strategies or short-term trades based on moving average crossovers and volume analysis.
The oscillator operates in conjunction with the chart’s price action and provides a visual representation of the market’s current trend strength and exposure.
Important Considerations:
Risk Management: While the exposure score provides valuable insight, it should be combined with other risk management tools and analysis for optimal trading decisions.
Signal Sensitivity: The accuracy and effectiveness of the signals depend on market conditions and may require adjustments based on the user’s trading strategy or timeframe.
Disclaimer:
This script is for educational purposes only. Trading involves significant risk, and users should carefully evaluate all market conditions and apply appropriate risk management strategies before using this tool in live trading environments.
Buy/Sell Volume Totals for PeriodThis indicator can be used to help you tell the difference between Wyckoff Accumulation and Distribution.
The idea is to add up all the Buy Volume and all the Sell Volume separately from the beginning of the Trading Range (TR) for each candle. You can define the Start and End dates in the settings of the indicator.
The indicator will show you 3 numbers of interest:
GREEN = Total Buy Volume from beginning of date range
RED = Total Sell Volume from beginning of date range
YELLOW = Ratio of Total Buy / Total Sell Volume from beginning of date range
When the Total Buy Volume exceeds the Total Sell Volume in the TR, the indicator will color the background in GREEN color, to indicate possible accumulation. Otherwise the background will be RED, to indicate possible distribution.
You can float your cursor over any candle to see the current Volume Totals at that candle from the beginning of the TR (set by you in settings to a specific date).
Here's a few examples of the indicator in action:
1) Accumulation
2) Distribution
3) Possible Re-distribution
Please note that this indicator is meant to be used in combination with other analysis techniques from the Wyckoff Methodology!
Nightrangers IndicatorDescription
This indicator combines three EMA's, Ichimoku Cloud, RSI and MACD. By combining and modifying their use case this turns into an extremely powerful and accessible indicator for finding long and short position entries, below is a description of how to use this indicator, and what makes it different.
Primary Use case
The three EMA's would be the initial indicators you would be looking at, they are based on the 7d, 25d and 200d MA - Used on their own, they would be worthless, and this is where the Ichimoku Cloud comes into it, I have removed all other aspects of the Ichimoku Cloud and only kept the baseline, combine this with the three MA's and we have a very powerful indicator for finding Long entries, that is used uniquely in a way to which the Ichimoku Cloud is not originally meant to be used for.
An early indication of a LONG entry would be when the 7d MA crosses above the Ichimoku Baseline, through this early indicator, you are able to watch and monitor the chart, you would be waiting to see if the 25d MA then also crosses above the Ichimoku Baseline, This would be the second important indication of a long entry. The 200d MA helps here when making decisions on where to set your own personal take profits - If the Ichimoku baseline, and the MA's are below the 200d MA, you would be expecting a bounce point here, or heavy resistance so the long entry could be over a shorter period, than that if it was above the 200d MA, which is why it is included here, to help make a better informed choice.
The latter is reversed for finding short positions, and entries. This indicator is completely reliant on each other to find the best possible entry/exit by complementing each other, and by using the Ichimoku Baseline on it's own, and not as the Ichimoku Cloud is intended.
Just using these though, is not enough, which is why the RSI and MACD are also combined, once the conditions are met above, You may find that there can be false positives for entries, and this is where the RSI has multiple use cases within this script.
Firstly the backdrop colour will change based on whether the chart is in an uptrend or downtrend, This is a visual indicator provided to work simultaneaously on the chart itself to help identification of entries/exits easier to identify in conjunction with the above.
Secondly, It is used to display in the top right, The current Trend in a text format, as well as if the current chart is in one of three phases, these are Overbrought, Oversold and accumulation.
And finally it will display the current RSI Value on the last candle in a clear to see blue Label, This helps with the visual accessible side, to help you make a more informed choice depending on your own personal tolerance.
This ties into the above Indicators, by combining the information, you would not be looking to take a long, if for example, the RSI showed it was over-brought, and in a downtrend, even if the MA's had crossed above the Baseline, as this would most likely be a fakeout.
However if the Indicators above, showed a potential long, and the backdrop had flipped green, indicating an uptrend, and it was in an accumulation phase, you would consider this position. and this is where the MACD comes into play.
You would use the MACD to see whether or not the Signal line has crossed over the MACD line, and vice versa - However this script uses it to simplify and portray current market sentiment, and visually display by reducing clutter on screen, and making it more accessible.
It is designed to portray an easy to read and understand visual indicator by displaying in the top right simply as Bullish or Bearish, with markers above the candles ( "M" and "MX" ).
The M indicator is to show where the MACD Crosses above the Signal, and if aligned with all the other indicators within the script, shows a very strong confirmation for a buying opportunity, and vice versa for the "MX" indicator if aligned with the other indicators in reverse, provides a very strong confirmation for opening a short position or for selling.
Secondary Use case
By combining the indicators above, the secondary conditions you would be looking for, If you opened a LONG position, would be knowing when to sell, On top of what has been described above already regarding this, you would be looking to start taking profits, when the 7d MA crosses above or across the candles, and looking to close the position, when the 25d MA also crosses above the candles, and respectively, in reverse for closing short positions. This is shown across the charts to be extremely useful, however, combine this with the other indicators, portrayed in an easy to use and understand visual representation, you are now able to make more informed decisions, on whether to close a position or not.
How is it different and not just a mash up
I have combined these indicators to make the world of trading more accessible for everyone regardless of circumstances, by creating an easy to understand visual representation, keeping colours vibrant and easy to stand out, with clear and simple to read text indications. So whether you are a seasoned trader, or just starting out, you can make more informed choices, without the need of learning how to use multiple different indicators, and learning how to combine them all, or if you have difficulties learning, this indicator also simplifies a lot of the more technical intricacies, by still allowing you to make a more informed choice.
Distribution Histogram [SS]This is the frequency histogram indicator. It does just that—creates a frequency histogram distribution based on your desired lookback period. It then uses Pine's new Polyline function to plot a normal curve of the expected results for a normal distribution. This allows you to see quite a few things:
🎯 Firstly, it allows you to see where the accumulation rests in terms of a bell curve. The histogram represents a bell curve, and you can visually observe what the curve would look like.
🎯 Secondly, it will assess the normal distribution and the degree of skewness based on the curve itself. The indicator imports the SPTS statistics library to assess the distribution using Kurtosis and Skewness. However, it also adds functionality in this regard by making a qualitative assessment of the data. For example, if there are heavy left tails or heavier right tails present in the histogram, the indicator will alert you that a heavier left or right tail has been observed.
🎯 Thirdly, it provides you with the kurtosis and skewness of the dataset.
🎯 Fourthly, it provides the mean, median, and mode of the dataset, as well as the maximum and minimum values within the dataset.
🎯 Lastly, it provides you with the ability to toggle on tips/explanations of the curve itself. Simply toggle on "Show Distribution Explanation" in the settings menu:
How is the indicator helpful for trading?
If you are a mean reversion trader, this helps you identify the areas and price ranges of high and low accumulation. It also allows you to ascertain the probability by looking at the standard deviation of the bell curve. Remember, the majority of values should fall between -1 and 1 standard deviation of the mean (68%).
If it is revealed that the distribution has a heavier right or left tail, you will know that the stock is more likely to experience sudden drops and shifts in the curve in one direction or the other. Heavier left tails will tend to shift to the values on the far left, and vice versa for right tails.
Customization
You can turn off and on the following:
👉 The normal curve,
👉 The standard deviation levels, and
👉 The distribution explanations and tips.
Conclusion: And that is the indicator! Hope you enjoy it!
Chips MasterChips Master, a way to tell potential chips accumulation.
There are a couple of situation where Chips Master's Yellow Bars will show up.
Firstly,
When an uptrend trend completed Dow's 12345 waves, moving into ABC waves, yellow bars will show up between MA21 and MA60
if we refer to Granville rules, it is in the vicinity of buy point number 4.
Secondly,
During a down trend, when new low is created, potentially, yellow bars will show up, an indication of chips accumulation at low price.

Average Volume at Time (AVAT)Calculation of average volume at current time for a number of previous sessions, known as Average Volume at Time (AVAT).
Inputs:
* period to use for accumulation. "D" is the default value, useful to view data for each session.

TODO: interpolate volume according to current time, inside of the last bar
Advanced Chaikin Money Flow (CMF)TL;DR: change the aggregation to EMA to achieve similar results to Twiggs Money Flow. Play with the rest of parameters to get the desired results.
This script allows customization of CMF. It also includes all the improvements made by Twiggs Money flow.
Regular CMF does not take price gaps into account as you can see in the chart below. True range fixes this issue, as done in Twiggs Money flow (TMF).
More info here: www.incrediblecharts.com
Customization Options:
- You can change the effect of volume by setting volume exponent. 0 to 10 reduces the effect and 10+ increases it. In exchanges with too much wash trading, you may want to reduce volume effect.
- You can factor in price in CMF. It gives you a slightly different results. See my Volume x price (VxP) indicator for why it might be useful.
- The range can be changed to percentage (similar to RSI)
PS: I do not recommend using CMF in today's Crypto markets. Chaikin uses the same multiplier in CMF and Accumulation/Distribution Line (ADL). ADL is a totally broken indicator for BTC. If you look at the period after ATH (chart below), you will notice that ADL keeps increasing implying accumulation. While it is clear that there was distribution going on. The reason might be the artificially inflated prices in Crypto that is achieved by the help of bots and having "certain" exchanges as a price reference. So, my reasoning is that if ADL is a broken indicator, so should be CMF. CMF diverges from BTC price frequently. This is a double edged sword IMO. Still CMF is a much better indicator than ADL because it works relative to prior periods which covers some of its flaws.
Note for super nerds: Twiggs Money Flow includes true range and Welles Wilder's Moving Average (WWMA). I have seen some other scripts using their own calculations for WWMA which is not efficient. WWMA is equal to built-in RMA/SMMA which is equal to EMA with length 2x-1.
ICT Dealing RangeICT Dealing Range
This indicator identifies and plots ICT (Inner Circle Trader) Dealing Ranges - key institutional areas where smart money accumulates or distributes positions before significant moves.
What is a Dealing Range?
A Dealing Range is a significant price area where institutional traders accumulate or distribute their positions. These ranges form through a specific sequence of price movements that indicate institutional order flow:
Bullish Dealing Range Sequence:
1. Initial High (H)
2. Initial Low (L)
3. Higher High (HH)
4. Lower Low (LL)
5. Break above HH (confirmation)
Bearish Dealing Range Sequence:
1. Initial Low (L)
2. Initial High (H)
3. Lower Low (LL)
4. Higher High (HH)
5. Break below LL (confirmation)
My Trading Strategy
Entry Methods:

Notes
This tool is based on ICT concepts but should be used in conjunction with other forms of analysis. The dealing range provides a framework for understanding institutional order flow, but proper risk management and market context are essential for successful trading.
Remember: The best trades often come from clean retests of these ranges after their initial formation. Patience in waiting for proper setups is key to successful implementation.
ADMAThe ADMA indicator is a technical analysis tool designed to identify trends and potential reversal points in a financial market. The indicator is based on the cumulative difference between the closing price and the high and low points of a candle. Two moving averages (MAs) are used to smooth the trend dynamics and generate clear signals.
Calculation:
The indicator calculates the trend as the cumulative difference between the current closing price and the maximum (or minimum) value of the current and previous candle, depending on market development.
The ADMA indicator is particularly useful for recognizing market dynamics and making trading decisions based on them. By using double smoothing, false signals are reduced, and the signals generated by the indicator are clear and easy to interpret. It is a flexible tool that can be adapted to different trading strategies.

Unlocking the Power of Long Candle MidpointI'm excited to share with you a fascinating concept that can help you identify potential breakout points in the market.
The Pine Script code provided below is designed to identify the midpoint of a long candle, which can be a crucial level for traders to watch.
In this blog post, we'll dive deeper into the concept, explore its applications, and analyze a real-life example of TATACHEM listed on NSE, which is currently trading around a potential psychology line.
What is the Long Candle Midpoint?
The long candle midpoint is a technical indicator that calculates the midpoint of a candlestick that has a significant price movement. This midpoint is then used to draw a horizontal line, which can serve as a potential support or resistance level. The idea is that if a candlestick has a large price movement, it's likely that the market will react to this movement by testing the midpoint of the candle.
How Does the Long Candle Midpoint Indicator Work?
The Pine Script code provided above is designed to calculate the midpoint of a long candle based on the following parameters:
Length: The length of the candlestick is calculated using the len input parameter.
Line Length: The length of the line is calculated using the linExt input parameter.
Calculation Method: The calculation method can be set to either "Highest True Range", "Average True Range", or "Both".
Multiplier: The multiplier is used to adjust the midpoint calculation based on the average range of the candlestick.
The script then plots a horizontal line at the midpoint of the long candle, which can be used as a potential support or resistance level.
Real-Life Example:
Let's take a look at TATACHEM, a stock listed on the National Stock Exchange of India (NSE). As you can see in the chart below,
TATACHEM has been trading around a potential psychology line drawn from the midpoint of a large candle.
As you can see, the stock has previously failed to break above this line, but it's currently trading around it. This could be a sign that the market is preparing for a potential breakout. If the stock can break above this line, it could lead to a bullish rally.
Conclusion
The long candle midpoint indicator is a powerful tool that can help traders identify potential breakout points in the market. By analyzing the midpoint of a long candle, traders can gain insights into the market's sentiment and potential areas of support or resistance.
In the case of TATACHEM, the stock is currently trading around a potential psychology line, which could be a sign of a potential breakout. Traders can consider this point in their watch list for a potential entry. Tips for Traders
Use the long candle midpoint indicator in conjunction with other technical indicators to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the market.
Look for confirmation from other indicators before entering a trade.
Set stop-loss and take-profit levels based on the potential breakout point.
Monitor the market closely and be prepared to adjust your strategy if the market doesn't behave as expected.
By incorporating the long candle midpoint indicator into your trading strategy, you can gain an edge in the market and make more informed trading decisions.

Volume Risk Avoidance IndicatorPrice Pattern Analysis is the core of trading. But price patterns often fails.
VRAI (Volume Risk Avoidance Indicator) shows Volume Pressure, so that you can avoid volume-based risks.
For example, never short when you see green (buying pressure). Never long when you see red (selling pressure).
You still need to pick good price patterns, because the crossover of volume pressure is not reliable.
Enjoy!
