Smarter Money Volume Rejection Blocks [PhenLabs]📊 Smarter Money Volume Rejection Blocks – Institutional Rejection Zone Detection
The Smarter Money Volume Rejection Blocks indicator combines high-volume analysis with statistical confidence intervals to identify where institutional traders are actively defending price levels through volume spikes and rejection patterns.
🔥 Core Methodology
Volume Spike Detection analyzes when current volume exceeds moving average by configurable multipliers (1.0-5.0x) to identify institutional activity
Rejection Candle Analysis uses dual-ratio system measuring wick percentage (30-90%) and maximum body ratio (10-60%) to confirm genuine rejections
Statistical Confidence Channels create three-level zones (upper, center, lower) based on ATR or Standard Deviation calculations
Smart Invalidation Logic automatically clears zones when price significantly breaches confidence levels to maintain relevance
Dynamic Channel Projection extends confidence intervals forward up to 200 bars with customizable length
Support Zone Identification detects bullish rejections where smart money absorbs selling pressure with high volume and strong lower wicks
Resistance Zone Mapping identifies bearish rejections where institutions defend price levels with volume spikes and pronounced upper wicks
Visual Information Dashboard displays real-time status table showing volume spike conditions and active support/resistance zones
⚙️ Technical Configuration
Dual Confidence Interval Methods: Choose between ATR-Based for trend-following environments or StdDev-Based for range-bound statistical precision
Volume Moving Average: Configurable period (default 20) for baseline volume comparison calculations
Volume Spike Multiplier: Adjustable threshold from 1.0 to 5.0 times average volume to filter institutional activity
Rejection Wick Percentage: Set minimum wick size from 30% to 90% of candle range for valid rejection detection
Maximum Body Ratio: Configure body-to-range ratio from 10% to 60% to ensure genuine rejection structures
Confidence Multiplier: Statistical multiplier (default 1.96) for 95% confidence interval calculations
Channel Projection Length: Extend confidence zones forward from 10 to 200 bars for anticipatory analysis
ATR Period: Customize Average True Range lookback from 5 to 50 bars for volatility-based calculations
StdDev Period: Adjust Standard Deviation period from 10 to 100 bars for statistical precision
🎯 Real-World Trading Applications
Identify high-probability support zones where institutional buyers have historically defended price with significant volume
Map resistance levels where smart money sellers consistently reject higher prices with volume confirmation
Combine with price action analysis to confirm breakout validity when price approaches confidence channel boundaries
Use invalidation signals to exit positions when smart money zones are definitively breached
Monitor the real-time dashboard to quickly assess current market structure and active rejection zones
Adapt strategy based on calculation method: ATR for trending markets, StdDev for ranging conditions
Set alerts on confidence level breaches to catch potential trend reversals or continuation patterns
📈 Visual Interpretation Guide
Green Zones indicate bullish rejection blocks where buyers defended with high volume and lower wicks
Red Zones indicate bearish rejection blocks where sellers defended with high volume and upper wicks
Solid Center Lines represent the core rejection price level where maximum volume activity occurred
Dashed Confidence Boundaries show upper and lower statistical limits based on volatility calculations
Zone Opacity decreases as channels extend forward to indicate decreasing confidence over time
Dashboard Color Coding provides instant visual feedback on active volume spike and zone conditions
⚠️ Important Considerations
Volume-based indicators identify historical rejection zones but cannot predict future price action with certainty
Market conditions change rapidly and institutional activity patterns evolve continuously
High volume does not guarantee level defense as market structure can shift without warning
Confidence intervals represent statistical probabilities, not guaranteed price boundaries

Moving Average Ribbon (10x, per-MA timeframe)A flexible moving‑average ribbon that plots up to 10 MAs, each with its own type, length, source, color, and independent timeframe selector for true multi‑timeframe analysis without repainting on higher‑timeframe pulls.
What it does
Plots ten moving averages with selectable types: SMA, EMA, SMMA (RMA), WMA, and VWMA.
Allows per‑line timeframe inputs (e.g., 5, 15, 60, 1D, 1W) so you can overlay higher‑ or equal‑timeframe MAs on the current chart.
Uses a non‑repainting request pattern for higher‑timeframe series to keep lines stable in realtime.
How to use
Leave a TF field blank to keep that MA on the chart’s timeframe; type a timeframe (like 15 or 1D) to fetch it from another timeframe.
Typical trend‑following setup: fast MAs (10–21) on chart TF, mid/slow MAs (34–200) from higher TFs for bias and dynamic support/resistance.
Color‑code faster vs slower lines and optionally hide lines you don’t need to reduce clutter.
Best practices
Prefer pulling equal or higher timeframes for stability; mixing lower TFs into a higher‑TF chart can create choppy visuals.
Combine with price action and volume/volatility tools (e.g., RSI, Bollinger Bands) for confirmation rather than standalone signals.
Showcase example charts in your publish post and explain default settings so users know how to interpret the ribbon.
Inputs
Show/Hide per MA, Type (SMA/EMA/SMMA/WMA/VWMA), Source, Length, Color, Timeframe.
Defaults cover common lengths (10/20/50/100/200 etc.) and can be customized to fit intraday or swing styles.
Limitations
This is an analysis overlay, not a signal generator; it doesn’t place trades or alerts by default.
Effectiveness depends on instrument liquidity and user configuration; avoid overfitting to one market or regime.
Attribution and etiquette
Provide a brief explanation of your calculation choices and note that MA formulas are standard; credit any borrowed concepts or snippets if used.

Clock&Flow – Market Pulse IndicatorClock&Flow – Market Pulse Indicator
1) General Purpose
The Market Pulse Indicator is designed to visualize the strength and direction of market flow in a clear, intuitive way.
Unlike common volume or momentum indicators, it blends three essential dimensions — price velocity, normalized volume, and volatility (ATR) — to highlight when market pressure is truly meaningful.
It helps identify genuine liquidity inflows/outflows, potential exhaustion zones, and moments of compression or expansion within the price structure.
2) Data Sources
All data is directly taken from the current chart’s feed on TradingView:
Price (close): to measure relative price change.
Volume: to detect the intensity of market participation (normalized to average).
ATR (Average True Range): to evaluate volatility relative to price levels.
No external data or off-platform sources are used.
3) Logic and Calculation Steps
Price Velocity: calculates the percentage change between the current close and the close N bars ago.
priceChange = (close - close ) / close
Normalized Volume: compares current volume to its moving average over the same period.
volNorm = volume / sma(volume, length)
Normalized Volatility: ATR divided by price to adjust for instrument scale.
atrNorm = atr(length) / close
Combination : multiplies the three components into one raw value that represents market pulse intensity.
rawPulse = priceChange * volNorm * (1 + atrNorm)
Smoothing: a moving average (smoothLen) is applied to create a cleaner and more readable oscillator line.
flowPulse = sma(rawPulse * multiplier, smoothLen)
4) Parameters (Default Settings)
length (20): analysis period for price change, volume, and ATR.
smoothLen (5): smoothing factor; higher values reduce noise.
multiplier (100): scales the output for readability; adjust to fit chart scale.
5) How to Read the Indicator
Market Pulse > 0 (green): net inflow of liquidity; buying pressure dominates.
Market Pulse < 0 (red): net outflow of liquidity; selling pressure dominates.
Near 0: neutral phase; market balance or consolidation.
Sudden peaks: strong bursts of flow — often coincide with news releases or session overlaps.
Confirmations: use as a second-level filter before entering trades or to confirm momentum behind a breakout.
6) Divergences
Divergences between price and Market Pulse are key signals of weakening flow strength:
Bullish divergence: price forms lower lows while Market Pulse forms higher lows → selling pressure is fading; potential reversal or bounce.
Bearish divergence: price forms higher highs while Market Pulse fails to confirm → buying momentum is losing strength; potential correction ahead.
For reliability, look for divergences on higher timeframes (H4, Daily).
On lower timeframes, treat them as early warnings.
7) Typical Use Cases
Breakout confirmation: price breaks resistance with a rising Market Pulse → confirms genuine participation.
False signal filter: price breaks a level but Market Pulse remains flat/negative → likely fake breakout.
Pullback entry: after a breakout, wait for a short retracement and a new positive pulse → safer entry point.
Exit signal: if you’re long and Market Pulse suddenly turns negative with strong volume → consider partial exit or tighter stops.
8) Recommended Timeframes
Intraday / Scalping: 5–30 min charts with length 10–14, smoothLen 3–5.
Swing trading: 1h–4h charts with length 20–50.
Position trading: Daily charts with larger length (50–100) for smoother data.
Always optimize parameters to the specific asset — there are no universal settings.
9) Limitations
This indicator is not a trading system — it’s a decision-support tool.
Results depend on the quality of the volume data available for the symbol.
Performance and sensitivity are influenced by length, smoothing, and multiplier values — always test before live trading.
Use alongside sound risk and money management.

Trading and investing involve significant risk, including the potential loss of capital.
Always test indicators in simulation environments and make independent decisions based on your own analysis and risk tolerance.

1) Scopo generale
Flow Pulse è un oscillatore pensato per visualizzare la forza e la direzione del flusso di mercato in modo immediato. Non è un semplice indicatore di volume né una copia di RSI/MACD: combina tre dimensioni fondamentali — variazione di prezzo, volume normalizzato e volatilità — per mettere in evidenza i momenti in cui la pressione dei partecipanti è realmente significativa.
È ideale per identificare: entrate guidate da flussi reali, potenziali esaurimenti, momenti di compressione/espansione del movimento e segnali di conferma per breakout o rimbalzi.
2) Dati utilizzati
L’indicatore usa esclusivamente dati disponibili sulla piattaforma TradingView del grafico corrente:
price (close) — per calcolare la variazione percentuale del prezzo;
volume per misurare l’intensità degli scambi (normalizzato su media);
ATR (Average True Range) — per normalizzare la volatilità rispetto al prezzo;
Tutti i feed (prezzo e volume) sono quelli forniti dall’exchange/fornitore dati collegato al simbolo sul grafico.
3) Logica e passaggi di calcolo
Velocità del prezzo: calcolo della variazione percentuale tra la chiusura corrente e la chiusura N barre fa:
priceChange = (close - close ) / close
— misura la direzione e magnitudine del movimento in termine relativo.
Volume normalizzato: rapporto tra il volume corrente e la media mobile semplice del volume su length barre:
volNorm = volume / sma(volume, length)
— evidenzia volumi anomali rispetto alla media.
Volatilità normalizzata (ATR): rapporto ATR/close per rendere la volatilità comparabile across price levels:
atrNorm = atr(length) / close
Combinazione: il prodotto di questi fattori (con un piccolo offset su ATR) genera un valore grezzo:
rawPulse = priceChange * volNorm * (1 + atrNorm)
— se priceChange e volNorm sono positivi e l’ATR è presente, il rawPulse sarà significativamente positivo.
Smoothing: media mobile semplice (SMA) applicata al rawPulse e moltiplicazione per un fattore scalare (multiplier) per portare il range su livelli leggibili:
flowPulse = sma(rawPulse * multiplier, smoothLen)
4) Parametri esposti (default consigliati)
length (periodo analisi) — default 20: influenza calcolo Δ% e media volumi; allunga la finestra storica.
smoothLen (smussamento) — default 5: smoothing del segnale per ridurre rumore.
multiplier — default 100: fattore di scala per rendere l’oscillatore più leggibile.
5) Interpretazione pratica dei valori
FlowPulse > 0 (verde): predominanza di flusso d’ingresso — pressione d’acquisto. Maggiore il valore, più forte la convinzione (volume + movimento + volatilità).
FlowPulse < 0 (rosso): predominanza di flusso in uscita — pressione di vendita.
Vicino a 0: assenza di flussi netti chiari; mercato piatto o bilanciato.
Picchi repentini: indicano accelerate di flusso — spesso coincidono con rotture, open/close session, news.
Sostegno al trade: usa FlowPulse come conferma prima di entrare su breakout o come avviso di attenzione su esaurimenti.
6) Divergenze (come leggerle)
Le divergenze tra prezzo e FlowPulse sono segnali importanti:
Divergenza rialzista (bullish divergence): prezzo fa nuovi minimi mentre FlowPulse non fa nuovi minimi (o forma minimo relativo più alto) → indica che la spinta di vendita non è supportata da volume/volatilità, possibile inversione/rimbalzo.
Divergenza ribassista (bearish divergence): prezzo fa nuovi massimi mentre FlowPulse non li conferma (o forma massimo relativo più basso) → la spinta d’acquisto è “debole”, possibile esaurimento e inversione.
Note pratiche: cercare divergenze su timeframe maggiori (H4, D) per maggiore attendibilità; sui timeframe minori prendere solo come early warning.
7) Esempi d’uso operativo
Conferma breakout: prezzo rompe resistenza + FlowPulse positivo e crescente → breakout più probabile e con volumi reali.
Filtro per falsi segnali: prezzo rompe ma FlowPulse è piatto/negativo → alto rischio di false breakout.
Entrata per pullback: dopo breakout, attendere un pullback con FlowPulse che torna positivo → ingresso più prudente.
Gestione delle uscite: se sei long e FlowPulse improvvisamente si inverte in negativo su volumi elevati → considerare riduzione posizione o stop.
8) Timeframe consigliati
Intraday / Scalping: M5–M30 con length ridotto (es. 10–14) e smoothLen piccolo.
Swing trading: H1–H4 con length 20–50.
Position trading: D1 con length maggiore per filtrare rumore.
Testa i parametri sul tuo asset e timeframe; nessun parametro è universale.
9) Limitazioni e avvertenze
L’indicatore non è un sistema di trading completo: è un tool di informazione e timing.
Dipende dalla qualità dei dati di volume del simbolo: su alcuni titoli/mercati (es. alcuni ETF, Forex su certi broker) il volume può essere parziale o non rappresentativo.
I valori di margine/multiplier e smoothing influenzano sensibilmente sensibilità e falsi segnali: backtest e ottimizzazione sono raccomandati.
Non usare il solo FlowPulse per entrare su leva elevata senza gestione del rischio12) Disclaimer da inserire
Disclaimer: Questo indicatore è fornito solo a scopo didattico e non costituisce consulenza finanziaria. L’uso comporta rischi: valuta sempre la gestione del rischio e testa su conto demo prima dell’applicazione in reale.
BB SPY Mean Reversion Investment StrategySummary
Mean reversion first, continuation second. This strategy targets equities and ETFs on daily timeframes. It waits for price to revert from a Bollinger location with candle and EMA agreement, then manages risk with ATR based exits. Uniqueness comes from two elements working together. One, an adaptive band multiplier driven by volatility of volatility that expands or contracts the envelope as conditions change. Two, a bias memory that re arms the same direction after any stop, target, or time exit until a true opposite signal appears. Add it to a clean chart, use the markers and levels, and select on bar close for conservative alerts. Shapes can move while the bar is open and settle on close.
Scope and intent
• Markets. Currently adapted for SPY, needs to be optimized for other assets
• Timeframes. Daily primary. Other frames are possible but not the default
• Default demo. SPY on daily
• Purpose. Trade mean reversion entries that can chain into a longer swing by splitting holds into ATR or time segments
Originality and usefulness
• Novelty. Adaptive band width from volatility of volatility plus a persistent bias array that keeps the original direction alive across sequential entries until an opposite setup is confirmed
• Failure modes mitigated. False starts in chop are reduced by candle color and EMA location. Missed continuation after a take profit or stop is addressed by the re arm engine. Oversized envelopes during quiet regimes are avoided by the adaptive multiplier
• Testability. Every module has Inputs and visible levels so users can see why a suggestion appears
• Portable yardstick. All risk and targets are expressed in ATR units
Method overview in plain language
The engine measures where price sits relative to Bollinger bands, confirms with candle color and EMA location, requires ADX for shorts(in our case long close since we use it currently as long only), and optionally requires a trend or mean reversion regime using band width percent rank and basis slope. Risk uses ATR for stop, target, and optional breakeven. A small array stores the last confirmed direction. While flat, the engine keeps a pending order in that direction. The array flips only when a true opposite setup appears.
Base measures
• Range basis. True Range smoothed over a user defined ATR Length
• Return basis. Not required
Components
• Bollinger envelope. SMA length and standard deviation multiplier. Entry is based on cross of close through the band with location bias
• Candle and EMA filter. Close relative to open and close relative to EMA align direction
• ADX gate for shorts. Requires minimum trend strength for short trades
• Adaptive multiplier. Band width scales using volatility of volatility so envelopes breathe with conditions
• Regime gate optional. Band width percent rank and basis slope identify trend or mean reversion regimes
• Risk manager. ATR stop, ATR target, optional breakeven, optional time exit
• Bias memory. Array stores last confirmed direction and re arms entries while flat
Fusion rule
Minimum satisfied gates count style. All required gates must be true. Optional gates are controlled in Inputs. Bias memory never overrides an opposite confirmed setup.
Signal rule
• Long setup when close crosses up through the lower band, the bar closes green, and close is above the long EMA
• Short setup when close crosses down through the upper band, the bar closes red, close is below the short EMA, and ADX is above the minimum
• While flat the model keeps a pending order in the stored direction until a true opposite setup appears
• IN LONG or IN SHORT describes states between entry and exit
What you will see on the chart
• Markers for Long and Short setups
• Exit markers from ATR or time rules
• Reference levels for entry, stop, and target
• Bollinger bands and optional adaptive bands
Inputs with guidance
Setup
• Signal timeframe. Uses the chart timeframe
• Invert direction optional. Flips long and short
Logic
• BB Length. Typical 10 to 50. Higher smooths more
• BB Mult. Typical 1.0 to 2.5. Higher widens entries
• EMA Length long. Typical 10 to 50
• EMA Length short. Typical 5 to 30
• ADX Minimum for short. Typical 15 to 35
Filters
• Regime Type. none or trend or mean reversion
• Rank Lookback. Typical 100 to 300
• Basis Slope Length and Threshold. Larger values reduce false trends
Risk
• ATR Length. Typical 10 to 21
• ATR Stop Mult. Typical 1.0 to 3.0
• ATR Take Profit Mult. Typical 2.0 to 5.0
• Breakeven Trigger R. Move stop to entry after the chosen multiple
• Time Exit. Minimum bars and extension when profit exceeds a fraction of ATR
Bias and rearm
• Bias flips kept. Array depth
• Keep rearm when flat. Maintain a pending order while flat
UI
• Show markers and levels. Clean defaults
Usage recipes
Alerts update in real time and can change while the bar forms. Select on bar close for conservative workflows.

Realism and responsible publication
No performance claims. Costs and fills vary by venue. Shapes can move intrabar and settle on close. Strategies use standard candles only.
Honest limitations and failure modes
High impact releases and thin liquidity can break assumptions. Gap heavy symbols may require larger ATR. Very quiet regimes can reduce contrast in the mean reversion signal. If stop and target can both be touched inside one bar, outcome follows the TradingView order model for that bar path.
Regimes with extreme one sided trend and very low volatility can reduce mean reversion edges. Results vary by symbol and venue. Past results never guarantee future outcomes.
Open source reuse and credits
None.
Backtest realism
Costs are realistic for liquid equities. Sizing does not exceed five percent per trade by default. Any departure should be justified by the user.

Directional Strength and Momentum Index█ OVERVIEW
“Directional Strength and Momentum Index” (DSMI) is a technical analysis indicator inspired by DMI, but due to different source data, it produces distinct results. DSMI combines direction measurement, trend strength, and overheat levels into a single index, enhanced with gradient fills, extreme zones, entry signals, candle coloring, and a summary table.
█ CONCEPT
The classic DMI, despite its relatively simple logic, can seem somewhat chaotic due to separate +DI and -DI lines and the need for manual interpretation of their relationships. The DSMI indicator was created to increase clarity and speed up results, consolidating key information into a single index from 0 to 100 that simultaneously:
- Indicates trend direction (bullish/bearish)
- Measures movement strength
- Identifies overheat levels
- Generates ready entry signals
DMI (ADX + +DI / -DI) measures trend direction and strength, but does so based solely on comparing price movements between candles. ADX shows whether the trend is orderly and growing (e.g., above 20–30), but does not assess how dynamic the movement is.
DSMI, on the other hand, takes into account candle size and actual market aggression, thus showing directional momentum — whether the trend has real “fuel” to sustain or accelerate, not just whether it is orderly.
The main calculation difference involves replacing True Range with candle size (high-low) and using directional EMA instead of Wilder smoothing. This allows DSMI to react faster to momentum changes, eliminating delays typical of classic DMI based on TR.
This gives the trader an immediate picture of the market situation without analyzing multiple lines.
█ FEATURES
DSMI Main Line:
- EMA(Directional Index) based on +DS and -DS
- Scale 0–100, smooth color gradient depending on strength
+DS / -DS:
- Positive and Negative Directional Strength
- Gradient fill between lines — more intense with stronger trend
Extreme Zones:
- Default 20 and 80
- Gradient fill outside zones
Trend Strength Levels:
- Weak (<10) → neutral
- Moderate (up to 35)
- Strong (up to 45)
- Overheated (up to 55)
- Extreme (>55)
All levels editable
Entry Signals:
- Activated on crossing entry level (default 20)
Or on direction change when DSMI already ≥ entry level
- Highlighted background (green/red)
Candle Coloring:
- According to current trend
Trend Strength Table:
- Top-right corner
- Shows current strength (WEAK/STRONG etc.) + DSMI value
Alerts:
- DSMI Bullish Entry
- DSMI Bearish Entry
█ HOW TO USE
Add to Chart: Paste code in Pine Editor or find in indicator library.
Settings:
DSMI Parameters:
- DSMI Period → default 20
- Show DSMI Line → on/off
Extreme Zones:
- Lower Level → default 20
- Upper Level → default 80
Trend Strength Levels:
- Weak, Moderate, Strong, Overheated → adjust to strategy
Trend Colors:
- BULLISH → default green
- BEARISH → default red
- NEUTRAL → gray
Entry Signals:
- Show Highlight → on/off
- DSMI Entry Level → default 20
Signal Interpretation:
- DSMI Line: Main strength indicator.
- Gradient between +DS and -DS: Visualizes side dominance.
- Crossing 18 with direction confirmation → entry signal.
- Extreme Zones: Potential reversal or continuation points after correction.
- Table: Quick overview of current trend condition.
█ APPLICATIONS
The indicator works well in:
- Trend-following: Enter on signal, exit on direction change or overheat. When a new trend appears, consider entering a position, preferably with a rising trend strength indicator.
- Scalping/daytrading: Shorter period (7–10), lower entry level.
- Swing/position: Longer period (20–30), higher entry level, extreme zones as filters.
- Noise filtering: Ignores consolidation below “Weak” – increasing value e.g. to 15 highlights consolidation zones, but no signals appear there.
Style Adjustment:
- Aggressive strategies → shorten period and entry level
- Conservative → extend period, raise entry level (25–30), watch “Overheated”
“Weak” level (<10 default) → neutral; increasing it e.g. to 15 gives fewer but higher-quality signals. The Weak zone value controls the level below which no signals appear, and the gradient turns gray (often aligned with consolidation zones).
Combine with:
- Support/resistance levels
- Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
- Volume (Volume Profile, VWAP)
- Other oscillators (RSI, Stochastic)
█ NOTES
- Works on all markets and timeframes.
- Adjust period and levels to instrument volatility.
- Higher entry level → fewer signals, higher quality.
- Neutral color below “Weak” – avoids trading in consolidation.
- Gradient and table enable quick assessment without line analysis.
VIX/VVIX Spike RiskVIX/VVIX Spike Risk Analyzer
The VIX/VVIX Spike Risk Analyzer analyzes historical VIX behavior under similar market conditions to forecast future VIX spike risk.
By combining current VIX and VVIX levels as dual filters, it identifies historical precedents and calculates the probability and magnitude of VIX spikes over the next 1, 5, and 10 trading days.
IMPORTANT: This indicator must be applied to the VIX chart (CBOE:VIX) to function correctly.
Methodology
1. Dual-Filter Pattern Matching
The indicator uses both VIX and VVIX as simultaneous filters to identify historically analogous market conditions:
By requiring BOTH metrics to match historical levels, the indicator creates more precise market condition filters than using VIX alone. This dual-filter approach significantly improves predictive accuracy because:
VIX alone might be at 15, but VVIX can tell us if that 15 is stable (low VVIX) or explosive (high VVIX)
High VVIX + Low VIX often precedes major spikes
Low VVIX + Low VIX suggests sustained calm
2. Tolerance Settings
VIX Matching (Default: ±10% Relative)
Uses relative percentage matching for consistency across different VIX regimes
Example: VIX at 15 matches 13.5-16.5 (±10%)
Can switch to absolute tolerance (±5 points) if preferred
VVIX Matching (Default: ±10 Points Absolute)
Uses absolute point matching as VVIX scales differently
Example: VVIX at 100 matches 90-110
Can switch to relative percentage if preferred
3. Historical Analysis Window
The indicator scans up to 500 bars backward (limited by VVIX data availability) to find all historical periods where both VIX and VVIX were at similar levels. Each match becomes a "sample" for statistical analysis.
4. Forward-Looking Spike Analysis
For each historical match, the indicator measures VIX behavior over the next 1, 5, and 10 days
Display Metrics Explained
Average Highest Spike
Shows the average of the maximum VIX spikes observed.
Highest Single Spike
Shows the single largest spike ever recorded
Probability No 10% Spike
Shows what percentage of historical cases stayed BELOW a 10% spike:
Probability No 20% Spike
Shows what percentage of historical cases stayed BELOW a 20% spike:
Note : You'll see many more shaded bars than the sample count because each match creates up to 5 consecutive shaded bars (bars 1-5 after the match all "look back" and see it).
Short Volatility Strategies:
Enter when there's a LOW probability of big vol spikes based on today's metrics
Long Volatility Strategies
Enter when there's a HIGH probability of big vol spikes based on today's metrics

managing higher-timeframe (HTF) periods.
- **Period Detection (`isNewPeriod`):** Detects the first bar
of a given timeframe. It includes custom logic to handle
multi-month and multi-year intervals where
`timeframe.change()` may not be sufficient.
- **Bar Counting (`sinceNewPeriod`):** Counts the number of
bars that have passed in the current HTF period or
returns the final count for a completed historical period.
2. **Automatic Timeframe Selection:** Offers functions for building
a top-down analysis framework:
- **Automatic HTF (`autoHTF`):** Suggests a higher timeframe
(HTF) for broader context based on the current timeframe.
- **Automatic LTF (`autoLTF`):** Suggests an appropriate lower
timeframe (LTF) for granular intra-bar analysis.
3. **Timeframe Manipulation and Comparison:** Includes tools for
working with timeframe strings:
- **Build & Split (`buildTF`, `splitTF`):** Functions to
programmatically construct valid Pine Script timeframe
strings (e.g., "4H") and parse them back into their
numeric and unit components.
- **Comparison (`isHigherTF`, `isActiveTF`, `isLowerTF`):**
A set of functions to check if a given timeframe is
higher, lower, or the same as the script's active timeframe.
- **Multiple Validation (`isMultipleTF`):** Checks if a
higher timeframe is a practical multiple of the current
timeframe. This is based on the assumption that checking
if recent, completed HTF periods contained more than one
bar is a valid proxy for preventing data gaps.
4. **Timestamp Interpolation:** Contains an `interpTimestamp()`
function that calculates an absolute timestamp by
interpolating at a given percentage across a specified
range of bars (e.g., 50% of the way through the last
20 bars), enabling time calculations at a resolution
finer than the chart's native bars.

buildTF(quantity, unit)
Builds a Pine Script timeframe string from a numeric quantity and a unit enum.
The resulting string can be used with `request.security()` or `input.timeframe`.
Parameters:
quantity (int) : series int Number to specifie how many `unit` the timeframe spans.
unit (series TFUnit) : series TFUnit The size category for the bars.
Returns: series string A Pine-style timeframe identifier, e.g.
"5S" → 5-seconds bars
"30" → 30-minute bars
"120" → 2-hour bars
"1D" → daily bars
"3M" → 3-month bars
"24M" → 2-year bars
splitTF(tf)
Splits a Pine‑timeframe identifier into numeric quantity and unit (TFUnit).
Parameters:
tf (string) : series string Timeframe string, e.g.
"5S", "30", "120", "1D", "3M", "24M".
Returns:
quantity series int The numeric value of the timeframe (e.g., 15 for "15", 3 for "3M").
unit series TFUnit The unit of the timeframe (e.g., TFUnit.minutes, TFUnit.months).
Notes on strings without a suffix:
• Pure digits are minutes; if divisible by 60, they are treated as hours.
• An "M" suffix is months; if divisible by 12, it is converted to years.
autoHTF(tf)
Picks an appropriate **higher timeframe (HTF)** relative to the selected timeframe.
It steps up along a coarse ladder to produce sensible jumps for top‑down analysis.
Mapping → chosen HTF:
≤ 1 min → 60 (1h) ≈ ×60
≤ 3 min → 180 (3h) ≈ ×60
≤ 5 min → 240 (4h) ≈ ×48
≤ 15 min → D (1 day) ≈ ×26–×32 (regular session 6.5–8 h)
> 15 min → W (1 week) ≈ ×64–×80 for 30m; varies with input
≤ 1 h → W (1 week) ≈ ×32–×40
≤ 4 h → M (1 month) ≈ ×36–×44 (~22 trading days / month)
> 4 h → 3M (3 months) ≈ ×36–×66 (e.g., 12h→×36–×44; 8h→×53–×66)
≤ 1 day → 3M (3 months) ≈ ×60–×66 (~20–22 trading days / month)
> 1 day → 12M (1 year) ≈ ×(252–264)/quantity
≤ 1 week → 12M (1 year) ≈ ×52
> 1 week → 48M (4 years) ≈ ×(208)/quantity
= 1 M → 48M (4 years) ≈ ×48
> 1 M → error ("HTF too big")
any → error ("HTF too big")
Notes:
• Inputs in months or years are restricted: only 1M is allowed; larger months/any years throw.
• Returns a Pine timeframe string usable in `request.security()` and `input.timeframe`.
Parameters:
tf (string) : series string Selected timeframe (e.g., "D", "240", or `timeframe.period`).
Returns: series string Suggested higher timeframe.
autoLTF(tf)
Selects an appropriate **lower timeframe LTF)** for intra‑bar evaluation
based on the selected timeframe. The goal is to keep intra‑bar
loops performant while providing enough granularity.
Mapping → chosen LTF:
≤ 1 min → 1S ≈ ×60
≤ 5 min → 5S ≈ ×60
≤ 15 min → 15S ≈ ×60
≤ 30 min → 30S ≈ ×60
> 30 min → 60S (1m) ≈ ×31–×59 (for 31–59 minute charts)
≤ 1 h → 1 (1m) ≈ ×60
≤ 2 h → 2 (2m) ≈ ×60
≤ 4 h → 5 (5m) ≈ ×48
> 4 h → 15 (15m) ≈ ×24–×48 (e.g., 6h→×24, 8h→×32, 12h→×48)
≤ 1 day → 15 (15m) ≈ ×26–×32 (regular sessions ~6.5–8h)
> 1 day → 60 (60m) ≈ ×(26–32) per day × quantity
≤ 1 week → 60 (60m) ≈ ×32–×40 (≈5 sessions of ~6.5–8h)
> 1 week → 240 (4h) ≈ ×(8–10) per week × quantity
≤ 1 M → 240 (4h) ≈ ×33–×44 (~20–22 sessions × 6.5–8h / 4h)
≤ 3 M → D (1d) ≈ ×(20–22) per month × quantity
> 3 M → W (1w) ≈ ×(4–5) per month × quantity
≤ 1 Y → W (1w) ≈ ×52
> 1 Y → M (1M) ≈ ×12 per year × quantity
Notes:
• Ratios for D/W/M are given as ranges because they depend on
**regular session length** (typically ~6.5–8h, not 24h).
• Returned strings can be used with `request.security()` and `input.timeframe`.
Parameters:
tf (string) : series string Selected timeframe (e.g., "D", "240", or timeframe.period).
Returns: series string Suggested lower TF to use for intra‑bar work.
isNewPeriod(tf, offset)
Returns `true` when a new session-aligned period begins, or on the Nth bar of that period.
Parameters:
tf (string) : series string Target higher timeframe (e.g., "D", "W", "M").
offset (simple int) : simple int 0 → checks for the first bar of the new period.
1+ → checks for the N-th bar of the period.
Returns: series bool `true` if the condition is met.
sinceNewPeriod(tf, offset)
Counts how many bars have passed within a higher timeframe (HTF) period.
For daily, weekly, and monthly resolutions, the period is aligned with the trading session.
Parameters:
tf (string) : series string Target parent timeframe (e.g., "60", "D").
offset (simple int) : simple int 0 → Running count for the current period.
1+ → Finalized count for the Nth most recent *completed* period.
Returns: series int Number of bars.
isHigherTF(tf, main)
Returns `true` when the selected timeframe represents a
higher resolution than the active timeframe.
Parameters:
tf (string) : series string Selected timeframe.
main (bool) : series bool When `true`, the comparison is made against the chart's main timeframe
instead of the script's active timeframe. Optional. Defaults to `false`.
Returns: series bool `true` if `tf` > active TF; otherwise `false`.
isActiveTF(tf, main)
Returns `true` when the selected timeframe represents the
exact resolution of the active timeframe.
Parameters:
tf (string) : series string Selected timeframe.
main (bool) : series bool When `true`, the comparison is made against the chart's main timeframe
instead of the script's active timeframe. Optional. Defaults to `false`.
Returns: series bool `true` if `tf` == active TF; otherwise `false`.
isLowerTF(tf, main)
Returns `true` when the selected timeframe represents a
lower resolution than the active timeframe.
Parameters:
tf (string) : series string Selected timeframe.
main (bool) : series bool When `true`, the comparison is made against the chart's main timeframe
instead of the script's active timeframe. Optional. Defaults to `false`.
Returns: series bool `true` if `tf` < active TF; otherwise `false`.
isMultipleTF(tf)
Returns `true` if the selected timeframe (`tf`) is a practical multiple
of the active skript's timeframe. It verifies this by checking if `tf` is a higher timeframe
that has consistently contained more than one bar of the skript's timeframe in recent periods.
The period detection is session-aware.
Parameters:
tf (string) : series string The higher timeframe to check.
Returns: series bool `true` if `tf` is a practical multiple; otherwise `false`.
interpTimestamp(offStart, offEnd, pct)
Calculates a precise absolute timestamp by interpolating within a bar range based on a percentage.
This version works with RELATIVE bar offsets from the current bar.
Parameters:
offStart (int) : series int The relative offset of the starting bar (e.g., 10 for 10 bars ago).
offEnd (int) : series int The relative offset of the ending bar (e.g., 1 for 1 bar ago). Must be <= offStart.
pct (float) : series float The percentage of the bar range to measure (e.g., 50.5 for 50.5%).
Values are clamped to the range.
Returns: series int The calculated, interpolated absolute Unix timestamp in milliseconds.

FVG MagicFVG Magic — Fair Value Gaps with Smart Mitigation, Inversion & Auto-Clean-up
FVG Magic finds every tradable Fair Value Gap (FVG), shows who powered it, and then manages each gap intelligently as price interacts with it—so your chart stays actionable and clean.
Attribution
This tool is inspired by the idea popularized in “Volumatic Fair Value Gaps ” by BigBeluga (licensed CC BY-NC-SA 4.0). Credit to BigBeluga for advancing FVG visualization in the community.
Important: This is a from-scratch implementation—no code was copied from the original. I expanded the concept substantially with a different detection stack, a gap state machine (ACTIVE → 50% SQ → MITIGATED → INVERSED), auto-clean up rules, lookback/nearest-per-side pruning, zoom-proof volume meters, and timeframe auto-tuning for 15m/H1/H4.
What makes this version more accurate
Full-coverage detection (no “missed” gaps)
Default ICT-minimal rule (Bullish: low > high , Bearish: high < low ) catches all valid 3-candle FVGs.
Optional Strict filter (stricter structure checks) for traders who prefer only “clean” gaps.
Optional size percentile filter—off by default so nothing is hidden unless you choose to filter.
Correct handling of confirmations (wick vs close)
Mitigation Source is user-selectable: high/low (wick-based) or close (strict).
This avoids false “misses” when you expect wick confirmations (50% or full fill) but your logic required closes.
State-aware labelling to prevent misleading data
The Bull%/Bear% meter is shown only while a gap is ACTIVE.
As soon as a gap is 50% SQ, MITIGATED, or INVERSED, the meter is hidden and replaced with a clear tag—so you never read stale participation stats.
Robust zoom behaviour
The meter uses a fixed bar-width (not pixels), so it stays proportional and readable at any zoom level.
Deterministic lifecycle (no stale boxes)
Remove on 50% SQ (instant or delayed).
Inversion window after first entry: if price enters but doesn’t invert within N bars, the box auto-removes once fully filled.
Inversion clean up: after a confirmed flip, keep for N bars (context) then delete (or 0 = immediate).
Result: charts auto-maintain themselves and never “lie” about relevance.
Clarity near current price
Nearest-per-side (keep N closest bullish & bearish gaps by distance to the midpoint) focuses attention where it matters without altering detection accuracy.
Lookback (bars) ensures reproducible behaviour across accounts with different data history.
Timeframe-aware defaults
Sensible auto-tuning for 15m / H1 / H4 (right-extension length, meter width, inversion windows, clean up bars) to reduce setup friction and improve consistency.
What it does (under the hood)
Detects FVGs using ICT-minimal (default) or a stricter rule.
Samples volume from a 10× lower timeframe to split participation into Bull % / Bear % (sum = 100%).
Manages each gap through a state machine:
ACTIVE → 50% SQ (midline) → MITIGATED (full) → INVERSED (SR flip after fill).
Auto-clean up keeps only relevant levels, per your rules.
Dashboard (top-right) displays counts by side and the active state tags.
How to use it
First run (show everything)
Use Strict FVG Filter: OFF
Enable Size Filter (percentile): OFF
Mitigation Source: high/low (wick-based) or close (stricter), as you prefer.
Remove on 50% SQ: ON, Delay: 0
Read the context
While ACTIVE, use the Bull%/Bear% meter to gauge demand/supply behind the impulse that created the gap.
Confluence with your HTF structure, sessions, VWAP, OB/FVG, RSI/MACD, etc.
Trade interactions
50% SQ: often the highest-quality interaction; if removal is ON, the box clears = “job done.”
Full mitigation then rejection through the other side → tag changes to INVERSED (acts like SR). Keep for N bars, then auto-remove.
Keep the chart tidy (optional)
If too busy, enable Size Filter or set Nearest per side to 2–4.
Use Lookback (bars) to make behaviour consistent across symbols and histories.
Inputs (key ones)
Use Strict FVG Filter: OFF(default)/ON
Enable Size Filter (percentile): OFF(default)/ON + threshold
Mitigation Source: high/low or close
Remove on 50% SQ + Delay
Inversion window after entry (bars)
Remove inversed after (bars)
Lookback (bars), Nearest per side (N)
Right Extension Bars, Max FVGs, Meter width (bars)
Colours: Bullish, Bearish, Inversed fill
Suggested defaults (per TF)
15m: Extension 50, Max 12, Inversion window 8, Clean up 8, Meter width 20
H1: Extension 25, Max 10, Inversion window 6, Clean up 6, Meter width 15
H4: Extension 15, Max 8, Inversion window 5, Clean up 5, Meter width 10
Notes & edge cases
If a wick hits 50% or the far edge but state doesn’t change, you’re likely on close mode—switch to high/low for wick-based behaviour.
If a gap disappears, it likely met a clean up condition (50% removal, inversion window, inversion clean up, nearest-per-side, lookback, or max-cap).
Meters are hidden after ACTIVE to avoid stale percentages.
Ultimate Oscillator (ULTOSC)The Ultimate Oscillator (ULTOSC) is a technical momentum indicator developed by Larry Williams that combines three different time periods to reduce the volatility and false signals common in single-period oscillators. By using a weighted average of three Stochastic-like calculations across short, medium, and long-term periods, the Ultimate Oscillator provides a more comprehensive view of market momentum while maintaining sensitivity to price changes.
The indicator addresses the common problem of oscillators being either too sensitive (generating many false signals) or too slow (missing opportunities). By incorporating multiple timeframes with decreasing weights for longer periods, ULTOSC attempts to capture both short-term momentum shifts and longer-term trend strength, making it particularly valuable for identifying divergences and potential reversal points.
## Core Concepts
* **Multi-timeframe analysis:** Combines three different periods (typically 7, 14, 28) to capture various momentum cycles
* **Weighted averaging:** Assigns higher weights to shorter periods for responsiveness while including longer periods for stability
* **Buying pressure focus:** Measures the relationship between closing price and the true range rather than just high-low range
* **Divergence detection:** Particularly effective at identifying momentum divergences that precede price reversals
* **Normalized scale:** Oscillates between 0 and 100, with clear overbought/oversold levels
## Common Settings and Parameters
| Parameter | Default | Function | When to Adjust |
|-----------|---------|----------|---------------|
| Fast Period | 7 | Short-term momentum calculation | Lower (5-6) for more sensitivity, higher (9-12) for smoother signals |
| Medium Period | 14 | Medium-term momentum calculation | Adjust based on typical swing duration in the market |
| Slow Period | 28 | Long-term momentum calculation | Higher values (35-42) for longer-term position trading |
| Fast Weight | 4.0 | Weight applied to fast period | Higher weight increases short-term sensitivity |
| Medium Weight | 2.0 | Weight applied to medium period | Adjust to balance medium-term influence |
| Slow Weight | 1.0 | Weight applied to slow period | Usually kept at 1.0 as the baseline weight |
**Pro Tip:** The classic 7/14/28 periods with 4/2/1 weights work well for most markets, but consider using 5/10/20 with adjusted weights for faster markets or 14/28/56 for longer-term analysis.
## Calculation and Mathematical Foundation
**Simplified explanation:**
The Ultimate Oscillator calculates three separate "buying pressure" ratios using different time periods, then combines them using weighted averaging. Buying pressure is defined as the close minus the true low, divided by the true range.
**Technical formula:**
```
BP = Close - Min(Low, Previous Close)
TR = Max(High, Previous Close) - Min(Low, Previous Close)
BP_Sum_Fast = Sum(BP, Fast Period)
TR_Sum_Fast = Sum(TR, Fast Period)
Raw_Fast = 100 × (BP_Sum_Fast / TR_Sum_Fast)
BP_Sum_Medium = Sum(BP, Medium Period)
TR_Sum_Medium = Sum(TR, Medium Period)
Raw_Medium = 100 × (BP_Sum_Medium / TR_Sum_Medium)
BP_Sum_Slow = Sum(BP, Slow Period)
TR_Sum_Slow = Sum(TR, Slow Period)
Raw_Slow = 100 × (BP_Sum_Slow / TR_Sum_Slow)
ULTOSC = 100 × / (Fast_Weight + Medium_Weight + Slow_Weight)
```
Where:
- BP = Buying Pressure
- TR = True Range
- Fast Period = 7, Medium Period = 14, Slow Period = 28 (defaults)
- Fast Weight = 4, Medium Weight = 2, Slow Weight = 1 (defaults)
> 🔍 **Technical Note:** The implementation uses efficient circular buffers for all three period calculations, maintaining O(1) time complexity per bar. The algorithm properly handles true range calculations including gaps and ensures accurate buying pressure measurements across all timeframes.
## Interpretation Details
ULTOSC provides several analytical perspectives:
* **Overbought/Oversold conditions:** Values above 70 suggest overbought conditions, below 30 suggest oversold conditions
* **Momentum direction:** Rising ULTOSC indicates increasing buying pressure, falling indicates increasing selling pressure
* **Divergence analysis:** Divergences between ULTOSC and price often precede significant reversals
* **Trend confirmation:** ULTOSC direction can confirm or question the prevailing price trend
* **Signal quality:** Extreme readings (>80 or <20) indicate strong momentum that may be unsustainable
* **Multiple timeframe consensus:** When all three underlying periods agree, signals are typically more reliable
## Trading Applications
**Primary Uses:**
- **Divergence trading:** Identify when momentum diverges from price for reversal signals
- **Overbought/oversold identification:** Find potential entry/exit points at extreme levels
- **Trend confirmation:** Validate breakouts and trend continuations
- **Momentum analysis:** Assess the strength of current price movements
**Advanced Strategies:**
- **Multi-divergence confirmation:** Look for divergences across multiple timeframes
- **Momentum breakouts:** Trade when ULTOSC breaks above/below key levels with volume
- **Swing trading entries:** Use oversold/overbought levels for swing position entries
- **Trend strength assessment:** Evaluate trend quality using momentum consistency
## Signal Combinations
**Strong Bullish Signals:**
- ULTOSC rises from oversold territory (<30) with positive price divergence
- ULTOSC breaks above 50 after forming a base near 30

- Combine with volume analysis for confirmation
- Use price action context (support/resistance levels)
- Consider market volatility when setting thresholds
- Look for convergence across multiple momentum indicators
## Historical Context and Development
The Ultimate Oscillator was developed by Larry Williams and introduced in his 1985 article "The Ultimate Oscillator" in Technical Analysis of Stocks and Commodities magazine. Williams designed it to address the limitations of single-period oscillators by:
- Reducing false signals through multi-timeframe analysis
- Maintaining sensitivity to short-term momentum changes
- Providing more reliable divergence signals
- Creating a more robust momentum measurement tool
The indicator has become a standard tool in technical analysis, particularly valued for its divergence detection capabilities and its balanced approach to momentum measurement.

Double Weighted Moving Average (DWMA)# DWMA: Double Weighted Moving Average
## Overview and Purpose
The Double Weighted Moving Average (DWMA) is a technical indicator that applies weighted averaging twice in sequence to create a smoother signal with enhanced noise reduction. Developed in the late 1990s as an evolution of traditional weighted moving averages, the DWMA was created by quantitative analysts seeking enhanced smoothing without the excessive lag typically associated with longer period averages. By applying a weighted moving average calculation to the results of an initial weighted moving average, DWMA achieves more effective filtering while preserving important trend characteristics.
## Core Concepts
* **Cascaded filtering:** DWMA applies weighted averaging twice in sequence for enhanced smoothing and superior noise reduction
* **Linear weighting:** Uses progressively increasing weights for more recent data in both calculation passes
* **Market application:** Particularly effective for trend following strategies where noise reduction is prioritized over rapid signal response
* **Timeframe flexibility:** Works across multiple timeframes but particularly valuable on daily and weekly charts for identifying significant trends
The core innovation of DWMA is its two-stage approach that creates more effective noise filtering while minimizing the additional lag typically associated with longer-period or higher-order filters. This sequential processing creates a more refined output that balances noise reduction and signal preservation better than simply increasing the length of a standard weighted moving average.
## Common Settings and Parameters
| Parameter | Default | Function | When to Adjust |
|-----------|---------|----------|---------------|
| Length | 14 | Controls the lookback period for both WMA calculations | Increase for smoother signals in volatile markets, decrease for more responsiveness |
| Source | close | Price data used for calculation | Consider using hlc3 for a more balanced price representation |
**Pro Tip:** For trend following, use a length of 10-14 with DWMA instead of a single WMA with double the period - this provides better smoothing with less lag than simply increasing the period of a standard WMA.
## Calculation and Mathematical Foundation
**Simplified explanation:**
DWMA first calculates a weighted moving average where recent prices have more importance than older prices. Then, it applies the same weighted calculation again to the results of the first calculation, creating a smoother line that reduces market noise more effectively.
**Technical formula:**
```
DWMA is calculated by applying WMA twice:
1. First WMA calculation:
WMA₁ = (P₁ × w₁ + P₂ × w₂ + ... + Pₙ × wₙ) / (w₁ + w₂ + ... + wₙ)
2. Second WMA calculation applied to WMA₁:
DWMA = (WMA₁₁ × w₁ + WMA₁₂ × w₂ + ... + WMA₁ₙ × wₙ) / (w₁ + w₂ + ... + wₙ)
```
Where:
- Linear weights: most recent value has weight = n, second most recent has weight = n-1, etc.
- n is the period length
- Sum of weights = n(n+1)/2
**O(1) Optimization - Inline Dual WMA Architecture:**
This implementation uses an advanced O(1) algorithm with two complete inline WMA calculations. Each WMA uses the dual running sums technique:
1. **First WMA (source → wma1)**:
- Maintains buffer1, sum1, weighted_sum1
- Recurrence: `W₁_new = W₁_old - S₁_old + (n × P_new)`
- Cached denominator norm1 after warmup
2. **Second WMA (wma1 → dwma)**:
- Maintains buffer2, sum2, weighted_sum2
- Recurrence: `W₂_new = W₂_old - S₂_old + (n × WMA₁_new)`
- Cached denominator norm2 after warmup
**Implementation details:**
- Both WMAs fully integrated inline (no helper functions)
- Each maintains independent state: buffers, sums, counters, norms
- Both warm up independently from bar 1
- Performance: ~16 operations per bar regardless of period (vs ~10,000 for naive O(n²) implementation)
**Why inline architecture:**
Unlike helper functions, the inline approach makes all state variables and calculations visible in a single scope, eliminating function call overhead and making the dual-pass nature explicit. This is ideal for educational purposes and when debugging complex cascaded filters.
> 🔍 **Technical Note:** The dual-pass O(1) approach creates a filter that effectively increases smoothing without the quadratic increase in computational cost. Original O(n²) implementations required ~10,000 operations for period=100; this optimized version requires only ~16 operations, achieving a 625x speedup while maintaining exact mathematical equivalence.
## Interpretation Details
DWMA can be used in various trading strategies:
* **Trend identification:** The direction of DWMA indicates the prevailing trend
* **Signal generation:** Crossovers between price and DWMA generate trade signals, though they occur later than with single WMA
* **Support/resistance levels:** DWMA can act as dynamic support during uptrends and resistance during downtrends
* **Trend strength assessment:** Distance between price and DWMA can indicate trend strength
* **Noise filtering:** Using DWMA to filter noisy price data before applying other indicators
## Limitations and Considerations
* **Market conditions:** Less effective in choppy, sideways markets where its lag becomes a disadvantage
* **Lag factor:** More lag than single WMA due to double calculation process
* **Initialization requirement:** Requires more data points for full calculation, showing more NA values at chart start
* **Short-term trading:** May miss short-term trading opportunities due to increased smoothing
* **Complementary tools:** Best used with momentum oscillators or volume indicators for confirmation

MACD-V Adaptive FluxProMACD-V Adaptive FluxPro
Type: Multi-Factor Volatility-Normalized Momentum & Regime Framework
Overlay: ✅ Yes (on price chart)
Purpose: Detect high-probability trend continuation or reversal zones through volatility-adjusted momentum, VWAP structure, and adaptive filters.
🧩 Concept Overview
MACD-V Adaptive FluxPro is a next-generation, multi-factor analytical framework that merges the principles of Linda Raschke’s 3-10-16 MACD with modern volatility normalization and adaptive filtering.
Instead of generating raw buy/sell signals, it builds a probability-driven environment model — showing when price action, volatility, and structure align for high-confidence trades.
The “V” in MACD-V stands for Volatility Normalization: every MACD component is divided by ATR to stabilize amplitude across fast or slow markets.
This enables the indicator to remain consistent across timeframes, instruments, and volatility regimes.
⚙️ Core Components
1️⃣ Volatility-Normalized MACD (MACD-V)
A traditional MACD built on Linda Raschke’s 3-10-16 structure, but adjusted by ATR to create a volatility-invariant momentum profile.
You can toggle to alternative presets (Scalp / Swing / Trend) for faster or slower environments.
2️⃣ Dynamic Regime Detection
A slope-based classifier that identifies whether the market is:
Trend Up 🟢
Trend Down 🔴
Compression / Squeeze 🟧
Transition / Neutral ⚫
The background color updates dynamically as momentum, volatility, and slope shift between these states.
3️⃣ VWAP Structure Bands
Adaptive VWAP with inner and outer ATR-scaled envelopes.
These act as short-term mean-reversion and breakout zones.
The indicator can optionally gate entries to occur only within defined VWAP proximity.
4️⃣ EMAs for Micro-Trend Confirmation
Includes 9-EMA and 21-EMA, color-configurable for visual crossovers and short-term momentum bias.
5️⃣ Multi-Timeframe Confirmation Tiles
Top-center dashboard tiles display directional bias from higher timeframes (e.g., 15m / 1h / 4h).
When all align, it confirms multi-frame trend coherence.
6️⃣ Adaptive Probability Engine
All subsystems — MACD-V, slope, compression, volume z-score, and VWAP distance — feed into a logistic scoring model that outputs a real-time AOI Probability (0-100%).
When conditions align, probabilities rise above 60% (long bias) or drop below 40% (short bias).
These are your high-probability “Areas of Interest.”
7️⃣ Dashboard HUD
The top-right status console provides a one-glance view of system state:
Field Meaning
AOI Prob Long Real-time probability of bullish bias
Regime Market state (Trend, Transition, Compression)
Risk Gate ATR-based volatility filter

🏁 Summary
“MACD-V Adaptive FluxPro” is not a simple MACD — it’s a volatility-normalized market state engine that adapts to changing conditions.
It fuses Linda Raschke’s timeless MACD logic with modern volatility, slope, and multi-timeframe analytics — giving you a live market dashboard that tells you when not to trade just as clearly as when you should.
Experimental Supertrend [CHE]Experimental Supertrend — Combines EMA crossovers for trend regime detection with an adaptive ATR-based hull that selects the narrowest band to contain recent highs and lows, minimizing false breaks in varying volatility.
Summary
This indicator overlays a dynamic supertrend boundary around a midline derived from dual EMAs, using EMA crossovers to switch between bullish and bearish regimes. The hull adapts by evaluating multiple ATR periods and selecting the tightest one that fully encloses price action over a specified window, which helps in creating more stable trend lines that hug price without excessive gaps or breaches. Fills between the midline and hull provide visual cues for trend strength, darkening temporarily after regime changes to highlight transitions. Alerts trigger on crossovers, and markers label entry points, making it suitable for trend-following setups where standard supertrends might whipsaw. Overall, it offers robustness through auto-adjustment, reducing sensitivity to noise while maintaining responsiveness to genuine shifts.
Motivation: Why this design?
Standard supertrend indicators often flip prematurely in choppy markets due to fixed multipliers that do not account for localized volatility patterns, leading to frequent false signals and eroded confidence in trends. This design addresses that by incorporating an EMA-based regime filter for directional bias and an auto-adaptive hull that dynamically tunes the band width based on recent price containment needs. By prioritizing the narrowest effective enclosure, it avoids over-wide bands in calm periods that cause lag or under-wide ones in volatility spikes that invite breaks, providing a more consistent trailing reference without manual tweaking.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
- Reference baseline: Diverges from the classic ATR-multiplier supertrend, which uses a single fixed period and constant factor applied to close or high/low deviations.
- Architecture differences:
- Auto-selection from candidate ATR lengths to find the optimal period for current conditions.
- Dynamic multiplier clamped between floor and cap values, adjusted by padding to ensure reliable containment.
- Regime-gated rendering, where hull position flips based on EMA relative positioning.
- Post-transition visual fading to emphasize change points without altering core logic.
- Practical effect: Charts show tighter, more reactive bands that rarely breach during trends, reducing visual clutter from flips; the adaptive nature means less intervention across assets, as the hull self-adjusts to volatility clusters rather than applying a one-size-fits-all scale.
How it works (technical)
The indicator first computes two EMAs from close prices using lengths derived from a preset pair or manual inputs, establishing a midline as their average. This midline serves as the central reference for the hull. True range values are then smoothed into multiple ATR candidates using exponential weighting over the specified lengths. For each candidate, deviations of recent highs and lows from the midline are ratioed against the ATR to determine a required multiplier that would enclose all extremes in the containment window—the highest ratio plus padding sets the base, clamped to user-defined bounds. Among valid candidates (those with sufficient history), the one yielding the narrowest overall band width is selected. The hull boundaries are then offset from the midline by this multiplier times the chosen ATR, and further smoothed with a fixed EMA to reduce jitter. Regime direction from EMA comparison gates which boundary acts as support or resistance, with initialization seeding arrays on the first bar to handle state persistence. No higher timeframe data is used, so all logic runs on the chart's native bars without lookahead.
Parameter Guide
EMA Pair — Selects preset lengths for fast and slow EMAs, influencing regime sensitivity and midline stability. Default: "21/55". Trade-offs/Tips: Faster pairs like "9/21" increase cross frequency for scalping but raise false signals; slower like "50/200" smooths for swings, potentially missing early turns. Use Manual for fine control.
Manual Fast — Sets fast EMA length when Manual mode is active; shorter values make regime switches quicker. Default: 21. Trade-offs/Tips: Lower than 10 risks over-reactivity; pair with slow at least double for clear separation.
Manual Slow — Sets slow EMA length when Manual mode is active; longer values anchor the midline more firmly. Default: 55. Trade-offs/Tips: Above 100 adds lag in trends; balance with fast to avoid perpetual neutrality.
ATR Lengths (comma-separated) — Defines candidate periods for ATR smoothing; more options allow finer auto-selection. Default: "7,10,14,21,28,35". Trade-offs/Tips: Fewer candidates speed computation but may miss optimal fits; keep under 10 for efficiency.
Containment Window — Number of recent bars the hull must fully enclose highs/lows of; larger windows favor stability. Default: 50. Trade-offs/Tips: Shorter (under 20) adapts faster to breaks but increases breach risk; longer smooths but delays response.
Min Multiplier Floor — Lowest allowed multiplier for hull width; prevents overly tight bands in low volatility. Default: 0.5. Trade-offs/Tips: Raise to 0.75 for conservative enclosures; too low allows pinches that flip easily.
Max Multiplier Cap — Highest allowed multiplier; caps expansion in spikes to avoid wide, lagging bands. Default: 1.0. Trade-offs/Tips: Lower to 0.75 tightens overall; higher permits more room but risks detachment from price.
Padding (+) — Adds buffer to the auto-multiplier for safer containment without exact touches. Default: 0.05. Trade-offs/Tips: Increase to 0.10 in gappy markets; minimal values hug closer but may still breach on outliers.
Fill Between (Mid ↔ Supertrend) — Toggles shaded area between midline and active hull for trend visualization. Default: true. Trade-offs/Tips: Disable for cleaner charts; pairs well with transparency tweaks.
Base Fill Transparency (0..100) — Sets default opacity of fills; higher values make them subtler. Default: 80. Trade-offs/Tips: Under 50 overwhelms price action; adjust with darken boost for emphasis.
Darken on Trend Change — Enables temporary opacity increase after regime shifts to spotlight transitions. Default: true. Trade-offs/Tips: Off for steady visuals; on aids spotting reversals in real-time.
Darken Fade Bars — Duration in bars for the darken effect to ramp back to base; longer prolongs highlight. Default: 8. Trade-offs/Tips: Shorter (4-6) for fast-paced charts; longer holds attention on changes.
Darken Boost at Change (Δ transp) — Intensity of opacity reduction at crossover; higher values make shifts more prominent. Default: 50. Trade-offs/Tips: Cap at 70 to avoid blackout; tune down if fades obscure details.
Show Supertrend Line — Displays the active hull boundary as a line. Default: true. Trade-offs/Tips: Hide for fill-only views; linewidth fixed at 3 for visibility.
Show EMA Cross Markers — Places circles and labels at crossover points for entry cues. Default: true. Trade-offs/Tips: Disable in clutter; labels show "Buy"/"Sell" at absolute positions.
Alert: EMA Cross Up (Long) — Triggers notification on bullish crossover. Default: true. Trade-offs/Tips: Pair with filters; once-per-bar frequency.
Alert: EMA Cross Down (Short) — Triggers notification on bearish crossover. Default: true. Trade-offs/Tips: Use for exits; ensure broker integration.
Show Debug — Reveals internal diagnostics like selected ATR details (if implemented). Default: false. Trade-offs/Tips: Enable for troubleshooting selections; minimal overhead.
Reading & Interpretation
Bullish regime shows a green line below price as support, with upward fill from midline; bearish uses red line above as resistance, downward fill. Crossovers flip the active boundary, marked by tiny green/red circles and "Buy"/"Sell" labels at the hull level. Fills start at base transparency but darken sharply at changes, fading over the specified bars to signal fresh momentum. If the hull rarely breaches during trends, containment is effective; frequent touches without flips indicate tight adaptation. Debug mode (when enabled) overlays text or plots for selected length and multiplier, helping verify auto-choices.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
- Trend following: Enter long on green "Buy" label above prior low structure; confirm with higher high. Trail stops along the green hull line, tightening as fills stabilize post-fade.
- Exits/Stops: Conservative exit on opposite crossover or hull breach; aggressive hold until fade completes if volume supports. Use darken boost as a volatility cue—high delta suggests waiting for confirmation.
- Multi-asset/Multi-TF: Defaults suit forex/stocks on 15m-4h; for crypto, widen containment to 75 for gaps. Layer on volume oscillator for cross filters; avoid on low-liquidity assets where ATR candidates skew.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Closed-bar logic ensures signals confirm at bar end, with live bars updating hull adaptively but no repaints since no future data or security calls are used. Arrays persist ATR states across bars, initialized once with candidates parsed from string. Small fixed loops (over 6 lengths max, inner up to 50) run per bar, capped by max_bars_back=500 for history needs. Resources stay low with 500 labels/lines limits, but dense charts may hit on markers. Known limits include initial lag until containment history builds (50+ bars), potential wide bands on gaps, and suboptimal selections if candidates omit ideal lengths.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Start with "21/55" pair, 50-window, 0.5-1.0 multipliers, and 80% transparency for balanced responsiveness on daily charts. For too many flips, raise min floor to 0.75 or add lengths like "42"; for sluggishness, shorten window to 30 or pick faster pair. In high-vol environments, boost padding to 0.10; for smoother visuals, extend fade bars to 12.
What this indicator is—and isn’t
This is a visualization and signal layer for trend regime and adaptive boundaries, aiding entry/exit timing in directional markets. It is not a standalone system—pair with price structure, risk sizing, and broader context. Not predictive of turns, just reactive to containment and crosses.

Smart Structure Pro - Market Structure & Smart Money Concepts═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
SMART STRUCTURE PRO
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
A comprehensive market structure analysis tool that identifies institutional trading
patterns and smart money concepts for improved trade timing and decision-making.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
📊 WHAT IT DOES
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
This indicator automatically detects and visualizes key market structure elements:
🔹 BOS (Break of Structure)
- Identifies trend continuation patterns
- Marks when price breaks above previous highs (bullish) or below previous lows (bearish)
- Confirms trend strength and momentum
🔹 CHoCH (Change of Character)
- Detects potential trend reversals
- Alerts when market structure shifts from bullish to bearish or vice versa
- Helps identify early reversal opportunities
🔹 Order Blocks
- Highlights institutional entry zones
- Identifies the last opposite candle before a structure break
- Shows areas where smart money likely entered positions
🔹 Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
- Detects price imbalances and inefficiencies
- Shows areas where price moved rapidly leaving gaps
- Often act as support/resistance when retested
🔹 Liquidity Zones
- Marks swing high and low levels
- Identifies areas where stop losses likely cluster
- Shows potential stop hunt and liquidity grab zones
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🎯 HOW TO USE
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
BULLISH SETUP:
1. Wait for Bullish CHoCH (trend reversal signal) or BOS ↑ (continuation)
2. Look for price to pull back into an Order Block or Fair Value Gap
3. Enter long when price bounces from these zones
4. Place stop loss below the Order Block
5. Target the next liquidity zone or resistance level
BEARISH SETUP:
1. Wait for Bearish CHoCH (trend reversal signal) or BOS ↓ (continuation)
2. Look for price to retrace into an Order Block or Fair Value Gap
3. Enter short when price rejects from these zones
4. Place stop loss above the Order Block
5. Target the next liquidity zone or support level
DASHBOARD INTERPRETATION:
• Trend: Current market direction (Bullish/Bearish)
• Volume: Confirmation strength (High volume = stronger signals)
• Signal: Latest structure break detected
• Key High/Low: Critical levels for the current trend
• Position: Price location (Premium = expensive, Discount = cheap)
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
⚙️ SETTINGS GUIDE
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
STRUCTURE DETECTION:
• Pivot Length (Default: 10)
- Lower values = More signals but potentially weaker
- Higher values = Fewer signals but stronger/more reliable
- Recommended: 8-12 for intraday, 10-15 for higher timeframes
• Structure Line Extension
- Visual preference for how far lines extend
- Does not affect signal detection
SMART MONEY CONCEPTS:
• Order Block Extension: How long OB boxes remain visible
• FVG Extension: How long gap boxes remain visible
• Min FVG Size: Filter out small gaps (0 = show all)
- Set to 10-20% to reduce noise
- Set to 0 to see all gaps
VOLUME FILTER:
• Volume Confirmation (Recommended: ON)
- Filters weak signals without volume support
- Reduces false breakouts
• Volume Multiplier (Default: 1.5)
- Higher = Stricter filtering (fewer but stronger signals)
- Lower = More signals (but may include weak ones)
DISPLAY:
• Dashboard: Toggle information panel
• Trend Background: Subtle color tint showing current trend
• Dashboard Position: Choose corner placement
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🔔 ALERTS
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Available alert conditions:
✓ Bullish BOS - Uptrend continuation confirmed
✓ Bearish BOS - Downtrend continuation confirmed
✓ Bullish CHoCH - Reversal to uptrend detected
✓ Bearish CHoCH - Reversal to downtrend detected
✓ Structure Break - Any significant market structure change
To set up alerts:
1. Click the "⏰" alert icon
2. Select "Smart Structure Pro"

═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
⚠️ IMPORTANT DISCLOSURES
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
REPAINTING BEHAVIOR:
• Pivot points WILL repaint until confirmed (this is by design and unavoidable)
• Structure breaks (BOS/CHoCH) use CLOSED candles and do NOT repaint after confirmation
• Order Blocks and FVGs are drawn on confirmed signals and do NOT repaint
• All signals wait for candle close before triggering
BEST PRACTICES:
• Use on higher timeframes (15min+) for more reliable signals
• Combine with other analysis (support/resistance, volume profile, etc.)
• Wait for candle close confirmation before acting on signals
• Use proper risk management - this is not a standalone trading system
• Backtest on your preferred instrument and timeframe
PERFORMANCE:
• Limited to 100 boxes, 100 lines, 100 labels for optimal performance
• Older objects automatically removed as new ones appear
• Works on all markets (Forex, Crypto, Stocks, Indices, Commodities)

📚 CONCEPTS EXPLAINED
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
MARKET STRUCTURE:
Market structure refers to the pattern of price movements creating swing highs
and lows. Understanding structure helps identify trend direction and potential
reversal points.
SMART MONEY CONCEPTS:
These are trading techniques based on tracking institutional order flow and
understanding where large players (banks, funds, institutions) enter and exit
positions.
ORDER BLOCKS:
The last opposing candle before a strong directional move. Institutions often
leave unfilled orders in these zones, which can act as support/resistance when
price returns.
FAIR VALUE GAPS:
Areas where price moved so quickly that it left an imbalance. These gaps often
get "filled" as price returns to find equilibrium, creating trading opportunities.

Gold ramon strategy based on 50 candles and atr of 12
You enter the maximum of 50 candles once the most bearish starts to rise, we expect 10 candles, if you don't go up in 10 candles, you don't enter, if you go up before 10 candles, you enter.
When is TP? Enough with 5 candles
The temporality is 1 hour. It can be adjusted to 1 minute temporality for scalping.
It is never lost, because it always exceeds the previous maximums.
Daily Levels: PD / PM / OR (RTH/Pre)# Daily Levels: PD / PM / OR (RTH/Pre)
## Overview
This indicator displays key intraday support and resistance levels for US equity markets, specifically designed for traders who use Previous Day, Pre-Market, and Opening Range levels in their trading strategy.
## Key Features
**Seven Critical Levels Displayed:**
- **PDH (Previous Day High)** - Blue line: The highest price from yesterday's regular trading hours (9:30 AM - 4:00 PM ET)
- **PDL (Previous Day Low)** - Blue line: The lowest price from yesterday's regular trading hours
- **PDC (Previous Day Close)** - Orange line: The closing price from yesterday's regular trading hours
- **PMH (Pre-Market High)** - Yellow line: The highest price during today's pre-market session (4:00 AM - 9:30 AM ET)
- **PML (Pre-Market Low)** - Yellow line: The lowest price during today's pre-market session
- **ORH (Opening Range High)** - Red line: The highest price during the first 30 minutes of trading (9:30 AM - 10:00 AM ET)
- **ORL (Opening Range Low)** - Red line: The lowest price during the first 30 minutes of trading
## How It Works
**At 9:30 AM ET (Market Open):**
- PDH, PDL, PDC levels appear (from previous day's RTH)
- PMH, PML levels appear (from today's pre-market session)
- All lines begin at the 9:30 AM bar and extend right
**At 10:00 AM ET (Opening Range Close):**
- ORH, ORL levels appear (from today's first 30 minutes)
- Lines begin at the 9:30 AM bar and extend right
**Level Persistence:**
- All levels remain visible until the next trading day at 9:30 AM ET
- Levels reset daily for the new trading session
## Use Cases
**Day Trading:**
- Identify key support and resistance zones before placing trades
- Use PDH/PDL as potential profit targets or stop loss areas
- Monitor price reaction at pre-market levels for early trading signals
- Trade breakouts or rejections at opening range levels
**Swing Trading:**
- Assess daily momentum by observing breaks above/below previous day levels
- Use multiple timeframes while maintaining consistent reference points
**Market Structure:**
- Quickly identify if the market is trading above or below key levels
- Recognize accumulation/distribution patterns around these zones
## Technical Details
- **Timezone:** All times referenced are US Eastern Time (America/New_York)
- **Session Windows:**
- Pre-Market: 4:00 AM - 9:30 AM ET
- Regular Trading Hours: 9:30 AM - 4:00 PM ET
- Opening Range: 9:30 AM - 10:00 AM ET
- **Timeframe Agnostic:** Works on any chart timeframe
- **Visual Clarity:** Color-coded lines and labels for easy identification
## Color Scheme
- **Blue:** Previous Day levels (PDH, PDL)
- **Orange:** Previous Day Close (PDC)
- **Yellow:** Pre-Market levels (PMH, PML)
- **Red:** Opening Range levels (ORH, ORL)
## Best Practices
1. Use on US equity indices (SPY, QQQ, ES, NQ) and liquid US stocks
2. Combine with volume analysis for confirmation
3. Pay attention to how price reacts at these levels (bounce vs. break)
4. Most effective during the first 2 hours of trading when volatility is highest
5. Consider the market context (trending vs. ranging) when interpreting these levels
## Note
This indicator is specifically designed for US market hours. Results may vary when applied to international markets or instruments with different trading sessions.
Quantum Flux Universal Strategy Summary in one paragraph
Quantum Flux Universal is a regime switching strategy for stocks, ETFs, index futures, major FX pairs, and liquid crypto on intraday and swing timeframes. It helps you act only when the normalized core signal and its guide agree on direction. It is original because the engine fuses three adaptive drivers into the smoothing gains itself. Directional intensity is measured with binary entropy, path efficiency shapes trend quality, and a volatility squash preserves contrast. Add it to a clean chart, watch the polarity lane and background, and trade from positive or negative alignment. For conservative workflows use on bar close in the alert settings when you add alerts in a later version.
Scope and intent
• Markets. Large cap equities and ETFs. Index futures. Major FX pairs. Liquid crypto
• Timeframes. One minute to daily
• Default demo used in the publication. QQQ on one hour
• Purpose. Provide a robust and portable way to detect when momentum and confirmation align, while dampening chop and preserving turns
• Limits. This is a strategy. Orders are simulated on standard candles only
Originality and usefulness
• Unique concept or fusion. The novelty sits in the gain map. Instead of gating separate indicators, the model mixes three drivers into the adaptive gains that power two one pole filters. Directional entropy measures how one sided recent movement has been. Kaufman style path efficiency scores how direct the path has been. A volatility squash stabilizes step size. The drivers are blended into the gains with visible inputs for strength, windows, and clamps.
• What failure mode it addresses. False starts in chop and whipsaw after fast spikes. Efficiency and the squash reduce over reaction in noise.
• Testability. Every component has an input. You can lengthen or shorten each window and change the normalization mode. The polarity plot and background provide a direct readout of state.
• Portable yardstick. The core is normalized with three options. Z score, percent rank mapped to a symmetric range, and MAD based Z score. Clamp bounds define the effective unit so context transfers across symbols.
Method overview in plain language
The strategy computes two smoothed tracks from the chart price source. The fast track and the slow track use gains that are not fixed. Each gain is modulated by three drivers. A driver for directional intensity, a driver for path efficiency, and a driver for volatility. The difference between the fast and the slow tracks forms the raw flux. A small phase assist reduces lag by subtracting a portion of the delayed value. The flux is then normalized. A guide line is an EMA of a small lead on the flux. When the flux and its guide are both above zero, the polarity is positive. When both are below zero, the polarity is negative. Polarity changes create the trade direction.
Base measures
• Return basis. The step is the change in the chosen price source. Its absolute value feeds the volatility estimate. Mean absolute step over the window gives a stable scale.
• Efficiency basis. The ratio of net move to the sum of absolute step over the window gives a value between zero and one. High values mean trend quality. Low values mean chop.
• Intensity basis. The fraction of up moves over the window plugs into binary entropy. Intensity is one minus entropy, which maps to zero in uncertainty and one in very one sided moves.
Components
• Directional Intensity. Measures how one sided recent bars have been. Smoothed with RMA. More intensity increases the gain and makes the fast and slow tracks react sooner.
• Path Efficiency. Measures the straightness of the price path. A gamma input shapes the curve so you can make trend quality count more or less. Higher efficiency lifts the gain in clean trends.
• Volatility Squash. Normalizes the absolute step with Z score then pushes it through an arctangent squash. This caps the effect of spikes so they do not dominate the response.
• Normalizer. Three modes. Z score for familiar units, percent rank for a robust monotone map to a symmetric range, and MAD based Z for outlier resistance.
• Guide Line. EMA of the flux with a small lead term that counteracts lag without heavy overshoot.
Fusion rule
• Weighted sum of the three drivers with fixed weights visible in the code comments. Intensity has fifty percent weight. Efficiency thirty percent. Volatility twenty percent.
• The blend power input scales the driver mix. Zero means fixed spans. One means full driver control.
• Minimum and maximum gain clamps bound the adaptive gain. This protects stability in quiet or violent regimes.
Signal rule
• Long suggestion appears when flux and guide are both above zero. That sets polarity to plus one.
• Short suggestion appears when flux and guide are both below zero. That sets polarity to minus one.
• When polarity flips from plus to minus, the strategy closes any long and enters a short.
• When flux crosses above the guide, the strategy closes any short.
What you will see on the chart
• White polarity plot around the zero line
• A dotted reference line at zero named Zen
• Green background tint for positive polarity and red background tint for negative polarity
• Strategy long and short markers placed by the TradingView engine at entry and at close conditions
• No table in this version to keep the visual clean and portable
Inputs with guidance
Setup
• Price source. Default ohlc4. Stable for noisy symbols.
• Fast span. Typical range 6 to 24. Raising it slows the fast track and can reduce churn. Lowering it makes entries more reactive.
• Slow span. Typical range 20 to 60. Raising it lengthens the baseline horizon. Lowering it brings the slow track closer to price.
Logic
• Guide span. Typical range 4 to 12. A small guide smooths without eating turns.
• Blend power. Typical range 0.25 to 0.85. Raising it lets the drivers modulate gains more. Lowering it pushes behavior toward fixed EMA style smoothing.
• Vol window. Typical range 20 to 80. Larger values calm the volatility driver. Smaller values adapt faster in intraday work.
• Efficiency window. Typical range 10 to 60. Larger values focus on smoother trends. Smaller values react faster but accept more noise.
• Efficiency gamma. Typical range 0.8 to 2.0. Above one increases contrast between clean trends and chop. Below one flattens the curve.
• Min alpha multiplier. Typical range 0.30 to 0.80. Lower values increase smoothing when the mix is weak.
• Max alpha multiplier. Typical range 1.2 to 3.0. Higher values shorten smoothing when the mix is strong.
• Normalization window. Typical range 100 to 300. Larger values reduce drift in the baseline.
• Normalization mode. Z score, percent rank, or MAD Z. Use MAD Z for outlier heavy symbols.
• Clamp level. Typical range 2.0 to 4.0. Lower clamps reduce the influence of extreme runs.
Filters
• Efficiency filter is implicit in the gain map. Raising efficiency gamma and the efficiency window increases the preference for clean trends.
• Micro versus macro relation is handled by the fast and slow spans. Increase separation for swing, reduce for scalping.
• Location filter is not included in v1.0. If you need distance gates from a reference such as VWAP or a moving mean, add them before publication of a new version.
Alerts
• This version does not include alertcondition lines to keep the core minimal. If you prefer alerts, add names Long Polarity Up, Short Polarity Down, Exit Short on Flux Cross Up in a later version and select on bar close for conservative workflows.
Strategy has been currently adapted for the QQQ asset with 30/60min timeframe.
