ICC + Trident ORB UltimateICC + Trident ORB Ultimate – Indication / Correction / Continuation using multi-session ORB + confluence scoring
This tool is an intraday framework built around ICT-style Indication → Correction → Continuation (ICC) logic, using three coordinated Opening Range Boxes (“Trident ORB”) plus a confluence engine to grade breakouts and reversals.
It is not just a mashup of indicators. Each module has a specific role:
________________________________________
1. Core concept
The script combines:
• Three ORBs (“Trident”):
o European session ORB (bias & magnets)
o US Futures ORB (8:30 “engine” for the day)
o Cash session ORB (9:30 volatility filter)
• ICC structure:
o Indication – Directional bias from how price behaves around the Euro ORB (above = BULL, below = BEAR, inside = NEUTRAL).
o Correction – A dynamic Correction Zone built from the US Futures ORB (discount/premium area between ORB midline and range).
o Continuation – Qualified breakouts of the 8:30 ORB high/low, graded by a confluence score (A+/A/B/C).
• Confluence engine:
Optional filters (VWAP, RSI, FVG, SMT, swing structure, PDH/PDL, EMA stack, RTH) are combined into a single score and grade to highlight higher-probability continuation moves.
The goal is to give you one integrated view of:
session structure → day type → volatility → confluence → actionable breakouts/sweeps.
________________________________________
2. Trident ORB structure & day types
The script draws three configurable ORB boxes in your chosen timezone:
• Euro ORB (default 03:00–04:00)
o Defines early “indication” bias:
Above Euro high = BULL
Below Euro low = BEAR
Inside = NEUT
o On confirmed trend days, Euro high/low can be plotted as magnet levels (targets).
• US Futures ORB (8:30 ORB) (default 08:30–09:00)
o Main intraday “engine” box.
o The script tracks:
Breaks above/below the ORB
Rejections around the ORB midline
Sweeps – wicks that push past ORB high/low by a configurable % of the range, then close back inside.
• Cash ORB (default 09:30–10:00)
o Used as a volatility check: if the Cash ORB range is much wider than the 8:30 ORB, the day is flagged as “HIGH” volatility, and the confluence score is penalized.
Using the 8:30 ORB behavior, the script classifies the day type:
• TREND – multiple clean breaks and holding above/below the 8:30 ORB.
• RANGE – repeated rejections at the 8:30 midline with no clean break.
• TRAP – ORB sweeps (fake outs) that reverse back inside the range.
• TREND? / WAIT – early or uncertain structure.
Day type is shown both as a label on the chart and in the info table, and can optionally adjust the confluence score (e.g., penalty on TRAP/RANGE days, bonus on TREND days).
________________________________________
3. Confluence scoring (what feeds the A+/A/B/C grades)
For both long (BULL) and short (BEAR) directions, the indicator builds a score from several components:
• VWAP filter – price above/below VWAP.
• RSI filter – RSI within user-defined bullish/bearish bands.
• FVG detection – recent 3-bar Fair Value Gaps (weighted +2).
• SMT divergence – comparison vs. a second symbol (default ES1!):
o Bearish SMT = your chart makes a higher high while SMT ticker doesn’t confirm.
o Bullish SMT = your chart makes a lower low while SMT ticker doesn’t confirm.
• Swing / PDH-PDL proximity – recent swing highs/lows and prior-day high/low.
• EMA stack – 9/21/50 EMA alignment in trend direction.
• RTH session – optional extra point when inside regular trading hours.
On top of this base score, two modifiers can be applied:
• Day type modifier – e.g., +1 on TREND days, −1 on RANGE, −2 on TRAP (optional).
• Cash ORB volatility modifier – penalty when Cash ORB is abnormally wide.
The final result is:
• 0+ score per side (bull/bear)
• Letter grade:
o 5+ = A+
o 4 = A
o 3 = B
o <3 = C
Each label includes both the grade and the factors that contributed (e.g. A BULL (4pts) VWAP✓ RSI✓ FVG+2 ), so you can see why a signal printed.
________________________________________
4. Signals, sweeps & targets
Continuation signals (main entries)
• Bull continuation:
o Price crosses above the US Futures ORB high.
o Bull confluence score ≥ your Minimum Score to Show Signal.
o Not blocked by TRAP logic if ORB priority is enabled.
• Bear continuation:
o Price crosses below the US Futures ORB low.
o Bear confluence score meets the same threshold.
On these bars, the script plots BULL/BEAR labels with grade and factor list, colored by score. Optional alerts fire with the same information and day type included.
Sweep reversal signals (trap fades)
Separately from continuation, the script can highlight sweep reversals:
• Bull sweep signal:
o The 8:30 ORB low is swept (wick extends beyond low by X% of the ORB range and closes back inside).
o Euro indication is neutral or bullish.
• Bear sweep signal:
o The 8:30 ORB high is swept and price closes back inside, with a neutral or bearish indication.
These plot SWEEP↑ / SWEEP↓ labels and can trigger alerts, giving you a structured way to see trap-style reversals rather than random wicks.
Targets & correction zone
• Correction Zone:
o A shaded box extending right from the 8:30 ORB that marks the “correction” area between ORB midline and range boundary (different placement for long vs short bias).
o This is your primary pullback zone within the ICC framework.
• Expansion targets:
o Optional T1/T2/T3 lines at ±1.0, ±1.5 and ±2.0 times the 8:30 ORB range from the ORB high/low.
o These serve as simple volatility-based reference targets for partials or exhaustion zones.
________________________________________
5. Info table & optional overlays
A compact table in the top-right corner summarizes the environment at the latest bar:
• VWAP (above/below)
• RSI value (color-coded)
• FVG / SMT state (Bull/Bear/none)
• EMA stack (Bull/Bear/flat)
• Day type (TREND/TRAP/RANGE/etc.)
• Cash volatility (HIGH/OK)
• RTH (Yes/No)
• Last sweep (High/Low/none)
• Current bull/bear grades
Optional visual layers can be toggled on/off:
• FVG boxes
• SMT labels
• EMA lines
• VWAP line
• Prior Day High/Low lines
• Euro magnet levels
• ORB history, midlines, correction zone and targets
This allows you to keep the chart clean or fully instrumented depending on your preference.
________________________________________
6. How to use (practical workflow)
1. Load on an intraday timeframe (e.g., 1–5 minutes) and set the ORB times to match your broker/session if needed.
2. Watch the Trident ORBs form:
o Note the Euro “Indication” (BULL/BEAR/NEUT).
o Once the 8:30 ORB completes, monitor day type classification and Cash ORB volatility.
3. During the session:
o On trend days, focus on A+/A BULL/BEAR continuation labels that break the 8:30 ORB in the direction of Euro indication, ideally from inside the Correction Zone.
o On trap/range days, pay more attention to SWEEP↑ / SWEEP↓ signals and be conservative with continuation.
4. Use expansion targets as objective reference areas for partials and risk-to-reward planning.
5. Adapt filters & thresholds:
o Tighten Minimum Score to Show Signal for fewer, higher-quality signals.
o Turn specific filters on/off (FVG, SMT, EMA, VWAP, etc.) to match your own testing and market.
This script does not place trades or manage risk. It is a discretionary decision-support tool and should be combined with your own risk management and testing. Nothing here is financial advice.

Linear Trajectory & Volume StructureThe Linear Trajectory & Volume Structure indicator is a comprehensive trend-following system designed to identify market direction, volatility-adjusted channels, and high-probability entry points. Unlike standard Moving Averages, this tool utilizes Linear Regression logic to calculate the "best fit" trajectory of price, encased within volatility bands (ATR) to filter out market noise.
It integrates three core analytical components into a single interface:
Trend Engine: A Linear Regression Curve to determine the mean trajectory.
Volume Verification: Filters signals to ensure price movement is backed by market participation.
Market Structure: Identifies previous high-volume supply and demand zones for support and resistance analysis.
2. Core Components and Logic
The Trajectory Engine
The backbone of the system is a Linear Regression calculation. This statistical method fits a straight line through recent price data points to determine the current slope and direction.
The Baseline: Represents the "fair value" or mean trajectory of the asset.
The Cloud: Calculated using Average True Range (ATR). It expands during high volatility and contracts during consolidation.
Trend Definition:
Bullish: Price breaks above the Upper Deviation Band.
Bearish: Price breaks below the Lower Deviation Band.
Neutral/Chop: Price remains inside the cloud.
Smart Volume Filter
The indicator includes a toggleable volume filter. When enabled, the script calculates a Simple Moving Average (SMA) of the volume.
High Volume: Current volume is greater than the Volume SMA.
Signal Validation: Reversal signals and structure zones are only generated if High Volume is present, reducing the likelihood of trading false breakouts on low liquidity.
Volume Structure (Smart Liquidity)
The script automatically plots Support (Demand) and Resistance (Supply) boxes based on pivot points.
Creation: A box is drawn only if a pivot high or low is formed with High Volume (if the volume filter is active).
Mitigation: The boxes extend to the right. If price breaks through a zone, the box turns gray to indicate the level has been breached.
3. Signal Guide
Trend Reversals (Buy/Sell Labels)
These are the primary signals indicating a potential change in the macro trend.
BUY Signal: Appears when price closes above the upper volatility band after previously being in a downtrend.
SELL Signal: Appears when price closes below the lower volatility band after previously being in an uptrend.
Pullbacks (Small Circles)
These are continuation signals, useful for adding to positions or entering an existing trend.
Long Pullback: The trend is Bullish, but price dips momentarily below the baseline (into the "discount" area) and closes back above it.
Short Pullback: The trend is Bearish, but price rallies momentarily above the baseline (into the "premium" area) and closes back below it.
4. Configuration and Settings
Trend Engine Settings
Trajectory Length: The lookback period for the Linear Regression. This is the most critical setting for tuning sensitivity.
Channel Multiplier: Controls the width of the cloud.
1.0: Aggressive. Results in narrower bands and earlier signals, but more false positives.
1.5: Balanced (Default).
2.0+: Conservative. Creates a wide channel, filtering out significant noise but delaying entry signals.
Signal Logic
Show Trend Reversals: Toggles the main Buy/Sell labels.
Show Pullbacks: Toggles the re-entry circle signals.
Smart Volume Filter: If checked, signals require above-average volume. Unchecking this yields more signals but removes the volume confirmation requirement.
Volume Structure
Show Smart Liquidity: Toggles the Support/Resistance boxes.
Structure Lookback: Defines how many bars constitute a pivot. Higher numbers identify only major market structures.
Max Active Zones: Limits the number of boxes on the chart to prevent clutter.
5. Timeframe Optimization Guide
To maximize the effectiveness of the Linear Trajectory, you must adjust the Trajectory Length input based on your trading style and timeframe.
Scalping (1-Minute to 5-Minute Charts)
Recommended Length: 20 to 30
Multiplier: 1.2 to 1.5
Logic: Fast-moving markets require a shorter lookback to react quickly to micro-trend changes.
Day Trading (15-Minute to 1-Hour Charts)
Recommended Length: 55 (Default)
Multiplier: 1.5
Logic: A balance between responsiveness and noise filtering. The default setting of 55 is standard for identifying intraday sessions.
Swing Trading (4-Hour to Daily Charts)
Recommended Length: 89 to 100
Multiplier: 1.8 to 2.0
Logic: Swing trading requires filtering out intraday noise. A longer length ensures you stay in the trade during minor retracements.
6. Dashboard (HUD) Interpretation
The Head-Up Display (HUD) provides a summary of the current market state without needing to analyze the chart visually.
Bias: Displays the current trend direction (BULLISH or BEARISH).
Momentum:
ACCELERATING: Price is moving away from the baseline (strong trend).
WEAKENING: Price is compressing toward the baseline (potential consolidation or reversal).
Volume: Indicates if the current candle's volume is HIGH or LOW relative to the average.

ChronoFlow## ChronoFlow Sentinel
ChronoFlow Sentinel is a regime console that blends normalized fast/mid/slow regression slopes, phases them against a dual-speed EMA spread, and grades alignment so you instantly know whether the time stack is trending, rotating, or fighting itself.
HOW IT WORKS
Multi-Timeframe Slopes – Linear regression slopes are fetched via request.security() for your chosen fast, mid, and slow frames.
Normalized Weighting – User weights are rescaled so the composite chrono score is always on a consistent scale, regardless of configuration.
Phase Differential – The indicator subtracts a slow EMA from a fast EMA to detect whether price impulse confirms the slope mix.
Alignment Score – Signs of the three slopes are compared to compute a 0-1 alignment metric; backgrounds and alerts use this to signal confidence vs. chop.
Diagnostics Console – A bottom-right table streams each slope, the blended score, and which timeframe currently dominates.
HOW TO USE IT
Trend Qualification : Only push multi-contract positions when chrono score is positive, phase is positive, and alignment stays above your alert threshold (default 0.66).
Chop Defense : When alignment dips and conflict markers appear, immediately switch into mean-reversion tactics or sit flat.
Swing + Intraday Bridge : Pair ChronoFlow with other structure tools; require both aligned backgrounds and price confirmation before committing to swing entries.
CRYPTOCAP:SOL | CRYPTOCAP:XRP side by side view with ChronoFlow
VISUAL FEATURES
Optional flow curves: Enable Plot Raw Flows to audit each timeframe's slope when troubleshooting a signal.
Background intensity: Opacity auto-adjusts with alignment, so weak trends look faded while strong regimes glow vividly.
Signal/Conflict toggles: Long/short and chop markers are opt-in, keeping the panel pristine until you need annotations.
Conflict alerts: Built-in alert condition fires whenever alignment falls below your threshold, warning execution layers to scale down risk.
PARAMETERS
Fast Frame (default: 30): Fast timeframe for regression slope calculation.
Mid Frame (default: 120): Mid timeframe for regression slope calculation.
Slow Frame (default: D): Slow timeframe for regression slope calculation.
Fast Regression (default: 21): Regression length for fast timeframe.
Mid Regression (default: 34): Regression length for mid timeframe.
Slow Regression (default: 55): Regression length for slow timeframe.
Phase Length (default: 13): EMA period for phase differential calculation.
Fast Weight (default: 0.45): Influence of the fast timeframe in the composite score.
Mid Weight (default: 0.35): Influence of the mid timeframe in the composite score.
Slow Weight (default: 0.20): Influence of the slow timeframe in the composite score.
Plot Raw Flows (default: disabled): Enable to audit each timeframe's slope when troubleshooting.
Show Signal Labels (default: disabled): Toggle long/short signal markers.
Show Conflict Labels (default: disabled): Toggle conflict/chop markers.
Conflict Alert Level (default: 0.66): Set the alignment threshold that should trigger reduced size or flat positioning.
ALERTS
The indicator includes three alert conditions:
ChronoFlow Bullish: Detected a bullish regime shift
ChronoFlow Bearish: Detected a bearish regime shift
ChronoFlow Conflict: Flagged a low-alignment regime
LIMITATIONS
This indicator requires access to multiple timeframes via request.security() , which may consume additional resources. The alignment score is a simplified metric—real market conditions are more complex than a 0-1 scale can capture. The phase differential calculation assumes EMA spreads are meaningful proxies for momentum, which may not hold in all market regimes. Users should test parameter combinations on their specific instruments and timeframes, as default values are optimized for typical index futures trading.

Volumetric Inverse Fair Value Gap (IFVG) [Kodexius]The Volumetric Inverse Fair Value Gap (IFVG) indicator detects and visualizes inverse fair value gaps (IFVGs) zones where previous inefficiencies in price (fair value gaps) are later invalidated or “inverted.”
Unlike traditional FVG indicators, this tool integrates volume-based analysis to quantify the bullish, bearish, and overall strength of each inversion. It visually represents these metrics within a dynamically updating box on the chart, giving traders deeper insight into market reactions when liquidity imbalances are filled and reversed.
Features
Inverse fair value gap detection
The script identifies bullish and bearish fair value gaps, stores them as pending zones, and turns them into inverse fair value gaps when price trades back through the gap in the opposite direction. Each valid inversion becomes an active IFVG zone on the chart.
Sensitivity control with ATR filter and strict mode
A minimum gap size based on ATR is used to filter out small and noisy gaps. Strict mode can be enabled so that any wick contact between the relevant candles prevents the gap from being accepted as a fair value gap. This lets you decide how clean and selective the zones should be.
Show Last N Boxes control
The indicator can keep only the most recent N IFVG zones visible. Older zones are removed from the chart once the number of active objects exceeds the user setting. This prevents clutter on higher timeframes or long histories and keeps attention on the most relevant recent zones.
Ghost box for the original gap
When the ghost option is enabled, the script draws a faint box that marks the original fair value gap from which the inverse zone came. This makes it easy to see where the initial imbalance appeared and how price later inverted that area.
Volumetric bull, bear and strength metrics
For each IFVG, the script estimates how much of the bar volume is associated with buying and how much with selling, then computes bull percentage, bear percentage and a strength score that uses a percentile rank of volume. These values are stored with the IFVG object and drive the visualization inside the zone.
Three band visual layout inside each IFVG
Each active IFVG is drawn as a container with three horizontal sections. The top band represents the bull percentage, the middle band the bear percentage and the bottom band the strength metric. The width of each bar reflects its respective value so you can read the structure of the zone at a glance.
Customizable colors and label text
Colors for bull, bear, strength, the empty background area, the ghost box and label text can be adjusted in the inputs. This allows you to match the indicator to different chart themes or highlight specific aspects such as strength or direction.
Automatic invalidation and cleanup
When price clearly closes beyond the IFVG in a way that breaks the logic of that zone, the script marks it as inactive and deletes all boxes and labels linked to it. Only valid and active IFVGs remain on the chart, which keeps the display clean and focused.
Calculations
1. Detecting Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)
A fair value gap is identified when price action leaves an imbalance between candle wicks. Depending on the mode:
Bullish FVG: When low > high
Bearish FVG: When high < low
Optionally, the strict mode ensures wicks do not touch.
The gap’s significance is filtered using the ATR multiplier input to exclude minor noise.
Once detected, FVGs are stored as pending zones until inverted by opposite movement (price crossing through).
bool bull_cond = strict_mode ? (low > high ) : (close > high )
bool bear_cond = strict_mode ? (high < low ) : (close < low )
float gap_size = 0.0
if bull_cond and close > open
gap_size := low - high
if bear_cond and close < open
gap_size := low - high
2. Creating IFVGs (Inversions)
When price later moves through a previous FVG in the opposite direction, an Inverse FVG (IFVG) is created.
For example:
A previous bearish FVG becomes bullish IFVG if price moves upward through it.
A previous bullish FVG becomes bearish IFVG if price moves downward through it.
The IFVG is initialized with structural boundaries (top, bottom) and timestamp metadata to anchor visualization.
if not p.is_bull_gap and close > p.top
inverted := true
to_bull := true
if p.is_bull_gap and close < p.btm
inverted := true
to_bull := false
3. Volume Metrics (Bull, Bear, Strength)
Each IFVG calculates buy and sell volumes from the current bar’s price spread and total volume.
Bull % = proportion of upward (buy) volume
Bear % = proportion of downward (sell) volume
Strength % = normalized percentile rank of total volume
These are obtained through a custom function that estimates directional volume contribution:
calc_metrics(float o, float h, float l, float c, float v) =>
float rng = h - l
float buy_v = 0.0
if rng == 0
buy_v := v * 0.5
else
if c >= o
buy_v := v * ((math.abs(c - o) + (math.min(o, c) - l)) / rng)
else
buy_v := v * ((h - math.max(o, c)) / rng)
float sell_v = v - buy_v
float total = buy_v + sell_v
float p_bull = total > 0 ? buy_v / total : 0
float p_bear = total > 0 ? sell_v / total : 0
float p_str = ta.percentrank(v, 100) / 100.0
Nexural QWAPQWAP - Quantitative Weighted Average Price with True Order Flow Analysis
INTRODUCTION
This is legit one of the best indicators I can possibly make. Since I don't have access to tick data on tradingview I can't claim it's as accurate as possible but it is a very polished indicator for VWAP based trading and the bands are VERY useful for mean reverting trading.
QWAP Elite is an advanced Volume Weighted Average Price indicator that incorporates true order flow analysis through intrabar data decomposition. Unlike traditional VWAP indicators that simply calculate price multiplied by volume divided by total volume, this indicator attempts to identify the directional intent behind that volume by analyzing whether buying or selling pressure dominated each bar at a granular level.
The fundamental premise of this indicator is that not all volume is created equal. A bar with 10000 contracts where 8000 were aggressive buyers tells a very different story than a bar with 10000 contracts where 8000 were aggressive sellers, even if both bars close at the same price. Traditional VWAP treats these identically. QWAP attempts to weight the VWAP calculation based on this directional flow information.
This indicator was designed for traders who believe that institutional order flow leaves detectable footprints in price and volume data, and that identifying these footprints can provide an edge in determining likely future price direction. It is not a holy grail and it is not a replacement for proper risk management and trading discipline.
HOW THE INDICATOR WORKS
The True CVD Engine
The core of this indicator is its Cumulative Volume Delta calculation. Most indicators on TradingView approximate buying and selling volume by looking at whether a bar closed higher or lower than it opened. If the bar closed green, they assign all volume as buying volume. If it closed red, they assign all volume as selling volume. This is a crude approximation that misses significant nuance.
QWAP Elite uses the request security lower tf function to pull actual intrabar data. This means if you are on a 5 minute chart, the indicator is looking at the individual ticks or smaller timeframe bars that occurred within that 5 minute period. It then calculates how much volume occurred on up moves versus down moves within that bar, giving a much more accurate picture of whether buyers or sellers were more aggressive.
The Delta Ratio is calculated as the net delta divided by total volume, resulting in a value between negative one and positive one. A value of positive 0.6 means that 80 percent of volume was buying and 20 percent was selling. A value of negative 0.4 means that 70 percent was selling and 30 percent was buying. This ratio is then used to weight the VWAP calculation.
The intrabar precision is displayed in the dashboard as the number of bars analyzed. More bars means more granular data and theoretically more accurate delta calculation. The indicator automatically selects an appropriate lower timeframe based on your chart timeframe to balance accuracy with computational performance.
VIX Integration and Volatility Intelligence
The indicator pulls live VIX data and uses it to adjust its calculations dynamically. The VIX or CBOE Volatility Index represents the market expectation of 30 day forward looking volatility derived from SP500 option prices. When VIX is elevated, markets behave differently than when VIX is compressed.
Specifically, the indicator uses VIX to adjust the standard deviation bands around VWAP. In high volatility environments where VIX is above 25 or 30, the bands automatically widen to account for larger price swings. In low volatility environments where VIX is below 15, the bands tighten. This prevents false signals that would occur if static band widths were used across all market conditions.
The indicator also pulls VVIX which is the volatility of the VIX itself and VIX9D which is the 9 day VIX. By comparing VIX to VIX9D, the indicator can identify term structure conditions. When short term VIX is higher than longer term VIX, this is called backwardation and often indicates fear or stress in the market. When short term VIX is lower, this is contango and indicates complacency.
The VIX regime classification in the dashboard shows CALM when VIX is below 12, NORMAL between 12 and 20, ELEVATED between 20 and 30, and FEAR when above 30. Each regime suggests different trading approaches and position sizing considerations.
DETECTION SYSTEMS
Absorption Detection
Absorption occurs when large volume enters the market but price barely moves. This happens when one side is absorbing all the aggression from the other side. For example, if aggressive sellers are hitting the bid repeatedly but price is not dropping, it suggests there is a large buyer absorbing all that selling pressure. This often precedes reversals.
The indicator detects absorption by looking for bars with above average volume, below average range, and high wick ratios. A high wick ratio means the bar has long wicks relative to its body, indicating price moved but was pushed back. When these conditions coincide with strong delta in one direction, it suggests institutional absorption.
Liquidity Sweep Detection
Liquidity sweeps, also known as stop hunts, occur when price briefly exceeds a recent high or low to trigger stop losses, then reverses. Large traders need liquidity to fill their orders, and stops clustered above swing highs or below swing lows represent pools of liquidity they can tap into.
The indicator identifies sweeps by detecting when price exceeds the 5 or 20 bar high or low but closes back inside. A bull trap is identified when price sweeps above recent highs but closes below them, suggesting sellers trapped buyers who bought the breakout. A bear trap is the opposite, where price sweeps lows but closes above, trapping shorts.
Sweep detection is most useful when combined with delta analysis. A sweep with strong opposing delta, meaning price swept highs but delta was heavily negative, is a higher probability reversal signal than a sweep alone.
CVD Divergence Detection
Divergence between price and cumulative delta is one of the most reliable signals the indicator produces. When price is making higher highs but cumulative delta is making lower highs, it suggests that buying pressure is weakening even though price is still rising. This bearish divergence often precedes pullbacks or reversals.
Conversely, bullish divergence occurs when price makes lower lows but cumulative delta makes higher lows. This suggests that even though price is dropping, buying pressure is actually increasing, and sellers may be exhausted. These divergences are calculated over a 5 bar lookback period.
Stacked Imbalance Detection
Stacked imbalances occur when there are three or more consecutive bars with strong delta in the same direction. This represents sustained aggressive positioning by one side of the market. Three consecutive bars with delta above 0.5 suggests aggressive institutional buying. Three consecutive bars below negative 0.5 suggests aggressive institutional selling.
The count of consecutive imbalanced bars is displayed in the detection section. Four or more stacked imbalances is considered highly significant. This pattern often precedes continuation moves in the direction of the imbalance, as it suggests a committed directional player has entered the market.
Institutional Flow Detection
The indicator attempts to identify institutional activity by looking for the convergence of multiple factors. Specifically, it requires strong delta above 0.5 or below negative 0.5, volume persistence across multiple bars meaning above average volume for at least 2 to 3 bars in a row, and delta persistence meaning delta in the same direction for multiple consecutive bars.
When these factors align, the dashboard displays INST BUY or INST SELL instead of RETAIL. This classification should be viewed as a probability estimate rather than a certainty. Retail traders can produce similar patterns, and institutions can hide their activity. The designation is meant to highlight periods where the characteristics of flow are consistent with larger players.
ADAPTIVE WEIGHT SYSTEM
The indicator includes an adaptive system that automatically adjusts how much weight the CVD analysis has on the VWAP calculation. In quiet, low volatility markets, the CVD weight is reduced because the signal to noise ratio is lower. In active, high volatility markets with clear directional flow, the weight is increased.
The adaptation considers multiple factors including VIX regime, delta clarity meaning how strong and consistent the delta readings are, volume persistence, and time of day session weighting. The current adaptive weight is displayed in the dashboard and typically ranges from 0.05 to 0.50.
The adaptation speed setting controls how quickly the weight responds to changing conditions. A higher speed means faster adaptation but potentially more noise. A lower speed means smoother adaptation but potentially slower response to regime changes.
SESSION AWARENESS
Not all trading hours are equal. The indicator applies different weights to different trading sessions based on typical liquidity and reliability patterns. The open drive, which covers 9 30 to 10 30 AM Eastern time, receives a 1.4x weight multiplier because this is typically the highest volume and most directionally significant period of the day.
Power hour from 3 00 to 4 00 PM Eastern receives a 1.3x multiplier as institutional traders often execute their daily positioning in this final hour. The lunch hour from 11 00 AM to 2 00 PM receives a 0.9x multiplier due to typically lower volume and more choppy price action. Premarket receives 0.7x and after hours receives 0.5x due to thin liquidity and unreliable signals.
The current session is displayed in the dashboard header. Traders should consider reducing position sizes and widening stops during lower weight sessions, particularly premarket and after hours where the indicator readings are less reliable.
COMPOSITE SCORES
Bias Score
The Bias Score ranges from negative 100 to positive 100 and represents the indicators overall directional lean. It synthesizes delta analysis, VWAP momentum, and multi-timeframe confluence into a single number. A score above 50 indicates strong bullish bias. A score below negative 50 indicates strong bearish bias. Scores between negative 20 and positive 20 are considered neutral.
The visual bias meter in the dashboard shows this score as a bar that leans left for bearish or right for bullish. This provides an at a glance summary of the indicators current directional reading without needing to interpret multiple individual metrics.
Setup Quality Score
The Setup Quality Score ranges from 0 to 100 and measures how many factors are aligning to support a potential trade. It awards points for strong delta readings, volume persistence, multi-timeframe confluence, detection events like absorption or divergence, and favorable session timing. A score above 60 suggests multiple factors are confirming. A score below 30 suggests the setup lacks confirmation.
This score is designed to help traders filter trades. Rather than acting on every signal, traders can set a minimum quality threshold. For example, only taking trades when quality is above 50 will filter out lower probability setups. Higher thresholds mean fewer trades but potentially higher win rates.
Heat Score
The Heat Score measures overall market activity intensity and ranges from 0 to 100. It combines volume heat meaning how elevated current volume is relative to average, volatility heat based on ATR expansion or VIX levels, delta heat meaning how strong the current delta reading is, and deviation heat meaning how far price is from VWAP.
Markets with heat above 75 are classified as EXTREME and typically represent high opportunity but also high risk environments. Heat between 50 and 75 is ACTIVE and represents good trading conditions. Heat between 25 and 50 is NORMAL. Heat below 25 is QUIET and suggests range bound conditions where mean reversion strategies may outperform trend following.
DASHBOARD GUIDE
Header Row
The header row displays QWAP with a lightning bolt icon, the current session abbreviation like OPEN or POWER or LUNCH, the current regime classification, and VIX status with a colored indicator. Green indicates low VIX and favorable conditions. Yellow indicates elevated VIX. Red indicates high VIX or that VIX data is unavailable.
Signal Row
The signal row is the largest and most prominent element. It displays the primary signal which will be LONG, SHORT, REVERSAL, or WAIT. LONG appears when bias is strongly bullish and quality is high. SHORT appears when bias is strongly bearish and quality is high. REVERSAL appears when divergence or absorption is detected at an extreme sigma level. WAIT appears when conditions do not meet the threshold for a signal.
Next to the signal is the quality score displayed as Q followed by a number out of 100. This helps traders quickly assess how confirmed the signal is. A LONG signal with Q 72 is more compelling than a LONG signal with Q 45.
Order Flow Section
The delta row shows the current delta direction as BUY or SELL, the percentage strength, a visual indicator of strength with filled or empty circles, and an arrow indicating whether delta is accelerating or decelerating. The flow row shows whether activity is classified as INST BUY, INST SELL, or RETAIL, along with the number of intrabar data points used in the calculation.
Market Section
The heat row displays the heat score as a visual bar and numeric value. The vol row shows volatility state as EXPAND, COMPRESS, or NORMAL along with relative volume. The dist row shows distance from VWAP in sigmas and percentage, plus momentum direction.
Detection Section
This section only appears when detections are active. It displays warning icons next to detection types like BUY ABS, SELL ABS, BULL TRAP, BEAR TRAP, BULL DIV, BEAR DIV, BUY STACK, or SELL STACK. Each detection includes a score representing its strength or significance.
HOW TO USE THIS INDICATOR
Recommended Workflow
First, check the regime and session. If VIX is in FEAR mode or you are in premarket or after hours, consider reduced position sizing or waiting for better conditions.
Second, look at the primary signal and quality score. Signals with quality below 40 are low conviction. Consider requiring quality above 50 or 60 before acting.
Third, check the bias meter for overall directional lean. Ensure it aligns with your intended trade direction.
Fourth, review active detections. Absorption and divergence near VWAP bands increase reversal probability. Stacked imbalances support continuation.
Fifth, use VWAP and sigma bands for entry, stop, and target placement. The bands provide natural support and resistance levels based on statistical distribution.
Sixth, monitor for changes in delta and flow classification. Institutional activity transitioning to retail or delta reversing direction are warning signs.
TRADE EXAMPLES
Mean Reversion Setup
Price extended to 2.5 sigma above VWAP. Signal shows REVERSAL. Quality is 55. Absorption detected with BUY ABS showing score of 2.3. Delta is showing SELL at 45 percent despite price being elevated. This suggests buyers are being absorbed and a pullback to VWAP is likely. Enter short with stop above the 3 sigma band and target at VWAP or 1 sigma band.
Trend Continuation Setup
Signal shows LONG with quality 68. Bias meter shows STRONG BULL. BUY STACK detected with 4 consecutive imbalanced bars. Flow shows INST BUY. Price has pulled back to VWAP and is finding support. Heat is at 62 indicating ACTIVE conditions. Enter long on VWAP touch with stop below 1 sigma band and target at 2 sigma band.
Liquidity Sweep Setup
BEAR TRAP detected with score of 1.8. Price swept below recent lows but closed back above. Delta is showing BUY at 52 percent on the sweep bar. BULL DIV also active as price made lower low but delta made higher low. Signal shows REVERSAL with quality 58. Enter long with stop below the sweep low and target at VWAP.
HONEST ASSESSMENT OF STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES
Strengths
True CVD calculation using intrabar data is significantly more accurate than close greater than open approximations used by most indicators. This provides genuine insight into buying versus selling pressure.
VIX integration with term structure analysis is institutional grade thinking applied to a retail tool. Dynamic band adjustment prevents false signals in different volatility regimes.
Multiple detection systems provide different perspectives on the same market. Absorption, sweeps, divergence, and imbalances each capture different footprints of institutional activity.
Composite scores synthesize complex information into actionable numbers. Traders do not need to mentally integrate 15 different metrics. The quality score and bias score do this automatically.
Session awareness prevents trading during low quality periods. The automatic weighting helps filter out noise from premarket, after hours, and lunch periods.
Adaptive system self adjusts to market conditions. Traders do not need to manually tune parameters as volatility and activity change.
Weaknesses and Limitations
Intrabar data is still an approximation of true tick level order flow. Without actual tick data showing individual trades hitting bid versus lifting offer, even this calculation has error bars. Professional platforms like Sierra Chart or Quantower with direct exchange feeds will always have more accurate delta.
The indicator is computationally heavy. Users may experience slower chart loading particularly on lower end hardware or when viewing many bars. The optimization features help but cannot eliminate this cost entirely.
Institutional detection is probabilistic not definitive. Retail traders in aggregate can produce patterns that look institutional. Institutions can and do hide their activity. The INST BUY and INST SELL labels should be viewed as probability shifts not certainties.
The indicator works best on liquid instruments with significant volume. On thinly traded stocks or during illiquid periods, delta calculations become noisy and unreliable. The indicator is optimized for ES, NQ, SPY, QQQ, and similar high volume instruments.
VIX integration only works for US equity index products. If trading forex, crypto, or other asset classes, the VIX data is not directly applicable and should be disabled.
No indicator can predict the future. Order flow analysis shows what happened and what is happening. It cannot guarantee what will happen next. Large players can and do reverse their positioning. News events can invalidate any technical setup instantly.
The complexity of the indicator means there is a learning curve. New users may be overwhelmed by the number of metrics displayed. It takes time to develop intuition for what combinations of readings are significant.
The indicator does not include automated backtesting or historical performance statistics. Users cannot easily quantify the win rate or expected value of following its signals without manual journaling and analysis.
RISK MANAGEMENT GUIDELINES
This indicator is a tool not a trading system. It provides information that may help inform trading decisions but it does not make those decisions for you. Proper risk management is essential regardless of how compelling the indicator readings appear.
Position Sizing
Never risk more than 1 to 2 percent of your account on any single trade regardless of how high the quality score is. High quality setups still fail regularly. A setup with 70 percent win rate still loses 30 percent of the time, and those losses can come in clusters.
Consider reducing position size when VIX is in ELEVATED or FEAR regime, when trading during premarket or after hours sessions, when quality score is below 50, and when multiple detection systems are conflicting with each other.
Stop Loss Placement
The sigma bands provide natural levels for stop placement. For mean reversion trades, stops should typically be placed beyond the next sigma level. For example, if entering short at 2 sigma, place stop beyond 3 sigma. For trend trades entering at VWAP, consider stops beyond 1 sigma in the opposite direction.
Stops should also respect market structure. If there is a recent swing high or low near your calculated stop level, extend the stop beyond that swing point. Placing stops at obvious levels invites stop hunting.
In high VIX environments, consider wider stops. The VIX band multiplier automatically widens the sigma bands, and your stops should reflect this increased volatility. A stop that works in a 15 VIX environment may be too tight when VIX is 30.
Taking Profits
The sigma bands also provide natural profit targets. For mean reversion trades, VWAP itself is often the first target with the opposite 1 sigma band as an extended target. For trend trades, each sigma band can serve as a scaling point.
Pay attention to delta and flow changes as price approaches targets. If delta is weakening or flow classification shifts from institutional to retail, consider taking profits early. Conversely, if delta is strengthening into the target, consider holding for extension.
When to Avoid Trading
Consider sitting out when the signal shows WAIT and quality is below 30. In these conditions, the indicator is essentially saying there is no clear edge. Trading anyway is gambling not trading.
Avoid trading during major news events. The indicator cannot account for sudden information shocks. Economic releases, Fed announcements, earnings reports, and geopolitical events can invalidate any technical setup instantly.
Consider avoiding the first and last 5 minutes of regular trading hours. These periods often have erratic price action and unreliable delta calculations due to order imbalances at open and close.
SETTINGS REFERENCE
Core Engine Settings
VWAP Source determines what price is used for the VWAP calculation. The default HLC3 uses the average of high, low, and close which provides a balanced representation. HL2 uses just high and low average. Close uses only the closing price. Most traders should leave this at HLC3.
True CVD Engine should remain enabled for accurate order flow analysis. Disabling it falls back to close greater than open estimation which is significantly less accurate. Only disable if you are experiencing performance issues.
CVD Impact controls how much the delta analysis affects the VWAP calculation. Higher values mean delta has more influence. The default 0.2 provides a balance. Increase toward 0.5 if you want delta to have stronger effect. Decrease toward 0.1 if you want something closer to traditional VWAP.
Detection Sensitivity offers three presets. Conservative produces fewer signals but higher confidence. Balanced is the default middle ground. Aggressive produces more signals but with more false positives. New users should start with Balanced and adjust based on experience.
VIX Settings
VIX Integration should be enabled when trading US equity index products like ES, NQ, SPY, or QQQ. Disable it when trading forex, crypto, commodities, or individual stocks where VIX is not directly applicable.
VIX Symbol allows selection between VIX for SP500 volatility, VXN for Nasdaq volatility, and RVX for Russell 2000 volatility. Choose the one most relevant to your trading instrument.
VIX Baseline sets the historical average VIX level used for normalization. The default 16 represents the long term average. If trading in a persistently higher or lower VIX environment, adjusting this can help calibrate the regime classifications.
Display Settings
Dashboard Style offers three options. Compact shows only the signal and bias meter for minimal screen footprint. Elite adds order flow and market sections for balanced information. Full adds VIX details, detections, and adaptive system information for complete visibility.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why does the indicator sometimes show WAIT when there is an obvious trend
The signal system is designed to identify high probability entry points not to constantly indicate trend direction. A strong uptrend may show WAIT because price is extended from VWAP and a pullback is likely before continuation. The indicator is trying to prevent you from buying the top of an impulse move.
Why is my delta reading different from another order flow tool
Different platforms calculate delta differently. Some use tick data. Some use time based aggregation. Some use volume based aggregation. The timeframe being analyzed matters as well. QWAP uses intrabar data which is more accurate than close versus open approximations but less accurate than true tick data from professional platforms.
Can I use this indicator for scalping
The indicator can be used on lower timeframes but becomes less reliable. On 1 minute charts, the intrabar decomposition has fewer data points to work with. For scalping, consider using 3 to 5 minute charts as a minimum. Also note that the session weighting and detection systems are calibrated for swing and intraday trading, not ultra short term scalping.
Does this indicator repaint
The VWAP line and sigma bands can adjust slightly as intrabar data comes in during a live bar. Once a bar closes, those values are fixed. The signals and detections are calculated on closed bars and do not repaint. For live trading, wait for bar close confirmation before acting on signals.
What markets does this work best on
The indicator is optimized for high liquidity US equity index products including ES, NQ, SPY, QQQ, IWM, and DIA. It can work on other liquid instruments but the VIX integration should be disabled for non equity products. Avoid using on low volume stocks or illiquid markets where delta calculations will be noisy.

RED-E Institutional Flow Tracker ProRED-E Institutional Flow Tracker Pro
A histogram-based institutional activity detector for swing traders and options traders. Identifies institutional buying/selling pressure through volume analysis, money flow calculations, and manipulation detection algorithms.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
OVERVIEW
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
This indicator addresses two critical challenges in swing trading:
1. Exiting profitable positions prematurely due to normal market volatility
2. Holding positions during periods of market manipulation
The histogram display provides clear visual signals (BUY/HOLD/SELL) with educational tooltips explaining why each signal appeared and how to trade it.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
ORIGINALITY & METHODOLOGY
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Built from scratch using Pine Script v6, this indicator combines multiple analytical methods into a unified histogram system:
**Core Detection Methods:**
- **Dollar Volume Analysis** - Multiplies price by volume to identify institutional-sized trades. Default threshold: 3x average dollar volume over 20 periods.
- **Smart Money Flow Detection** - Combines three simultaneous conditions: unusual volume (1.5x+ average), large order size (3x+ average dollar volume), and directional price movement. All three must occur on the same bar for confirmation.
- **Money Flow Index Integration** - 14-period volume-weighted momentum indicator. Calculated as: typical price (HLC3) × volume, separated into positive flow (up bars) and negative flow (down bars), converted to 0-100 scale.
- **Manipulation Detection Algorithm** - Identifies suspicious patterns where volume spikes dramatically (>1.5x threshold) but price moves minimally (<0.5% volatility). This pattern is characteristic of spoofing, layering, and wash trading.
- **Market Regime Classification** - Uses Money Flow Index combined with flow strength to classify market state as Bullish (MFI >50 and positive flow), Bearish (MFI <50 and negative flow), or Neutral.
**Histogram Calculation:**
Formula: (Price Change % × Volume Ratio) × (1.5x multiplier if large order detected)
Smoothed with 3-period EMA for clean visualization
Values automatically scaled for optimal display
**21-Period Moving Average:**
Simple moving average of histogram values provides trend direction confirmation. Crossovers signal momentum shifts.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
HOW IT WORKS - TECHNICAL DETAILS
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
**1. Volume Analysis Foundation**
- 50-period SMA of volume establishes baseline
- Current volume compared to baseline creates Volume Ratio
- Unusual volume threshold (default 1.5x) flags institutional interest
**2. Money Flow Index (14-period default)**
- Typical price = (High + Low + Close) / 3
- Raw Money Flow = Typical Price × Volume
- Positive Flow = Raw Money Flow when price up
- Negative Flow = Raw Money Flow when price down
- MFI = 100 -
**3. Large Order Detection**
- Dollar Volume = Close Price × Volume
- 20-period average establishes baseline
- Orders exceeding 3x baseline flagged as institutional
**4. Smart Money Logic**
- Buying Signal: Positive price change AND large order AND volume >1.5x average (all simultaneous)
- Selling Signal: Negative price change AND large order AND volume >1.5x average (all simultaneous)
- Must occur on same bar for confirmation
**5. Flow Magnitude Tracking**
- Dollar volume tracked cumulatively
- Automatically resets daily at market open
- Formatted in readable units: K (thousands), M (millions), B (billions), T (trillions)
- Displayed in dashboard for easy monitoring
**6. Signal Classification**
- Strong Buy: Histogram >0.3 AND bullish regime AND unusual volume
- Buy: Histogram >0.15 AND bullish regime
- Hold: Histogram between ±0.15 OR neutral regime
- Sell: Histogram <-0.15 AND bearish regime
- Strong Sell: Histogram <-0.3 AND bearish regime AND unusual volume
**7. Manipulation Detection**
- Triggers when: Volume Ratio > threshold AND price volatility < 0.5%
- This pattern suggests large volume without corresponding price impact
- Common in spoofing (fake orders), layering (multiple false orders), and wash trading

Accumulation/Distribution Oscillator# Short description
A clean, volume-weighted Accumulation/Distribution Oscillator (ADO) that highlights buying/selling pressure by comparing cumulative AD to its EMA — ideal for confirming trends, spotting divergences, and timing entries with volume context.
# Full description
**Overview**
The Accumulation/Distribution Oscillator (ADO) measures the relationship between price and volume by taking a cumulative Accumulation/Distribution value and subtracting its exponential moving average. The resulting oscillator emphasizes recent shifts in accumulation (buying) and distribution (selling), making it easier to spot momentum changes and volume-driven confirmations or divergences.
**How it works (brief)**
* Computes the standard accumulation/distribution contribution each bar using price position within the range and multiplies it by volume.
* Builds a cumulative AD series and smooths it with an EMA.
* The oscillator = cumulative AD − EMA(cumulative AD). Positive values indicate rising accumulation relative to the trend, negative values indicate rising distribution.
**Inputs**
* `length` — EMA smoothing period (default: 20). Adjust to tune sensitivity: lower values = faster signals, higher values = smoother trend.
**Interpretation & signals**
* **Above zero**: recent accumulation momentum — bullish bias.
* **Below zero**: recent distribution momentum — bearish bias.
* **Crosses of zero**: simple entry/exit trigger (cross above = potential long, cross below = potential short).
* **Divergences**: price making new highs while ADO fails to make new highs → bearish divergence (sell signal). Price making new lows while ADO fails to make new lows → bullish divergence (buy signal).
* **Slope and magnitude**: steep, growing positive readings suggest strong buying pressure; steep, growing negative readings suggest strong selling pressure.
**Suggested usage**
* Use ADO to confirm breakout strength: a price breakout with ADO rising above zero has higher probability.
* Combine with trend filters (e.g., moving averages) to trade in the direction of the main trend.
* Use divergence with price action or candles for higher-probability reversal setups.
* Best applied on intraday and swing timeframes where volume data is reliable. May be less effective on low-volume or synthetic data.
**Alert examples (copy into TradingView alert message)**
* `ADO Bullish: Oscillator crossed above 0`
* `ADO Bearish: Oscillator crossed below 0`
* `ADO Momentum Up: Oscillator turned positive and rising`
* `ADO Divergence: Price made new high but ADO did not — check for potential reversal`
**Practical tips**
* Shorten `length` (e.g., 8–12) for more responsive signals on lower timeframes; lengthen (e.g., 30–50) for smoother, long-term signals.
* Confirm signals with volume profile or volume spike filters to avoid false breakouts.
* Always validate with support/resistance and manage risk with stops sized to your strategy.

NQ × ES SMT Panel — Ace v3.5NQ × ES SMT Panel — Ace v3.5 (6-Year Model)
This panel reads the 10:45 → 11:00 ET window on NQ and checks for sweeps of the 10:45 candle with SMT confirmation from ES.
It then shows you direction, quality of the signal, and 6-year follow-through stats.
🕒 Recommended Use
Chart: NQ / MNQ
Timeframe: 15-minute
Session: New York (focus on 10:45 and 11:00 ET)
ES symbol input: default ES1! (can be changed in settings)
The script only “makes decisions” on the 11:00 candle close.
🔍 What the Model Looks For
1. NQ Sweep of 10:45 Candle
Bull Sweep (Long bias)
11:00 low < 10:45 low
11:00 close > 10:45 low
Bear Sweep (Short bias)
11:00 high > 10:45 high
11:00 close < 10:45 high
This means: price took liquidity beyond 10:45, then closed back inside.
2. ES SMT Filter (Confirmation)
Bullish SMT
NQ does a bull sweep (takes the low)
ES does NOT make a lower low vs its own 10:45 low
Bearish SMT
NQ does a bear sweep (takes the high)
ES does NOT make a higher high vs its own 10:45 high
If NQ sweeps but ES doesn’t follow, you have SMT and a stronger signal.
📋 Panel Fields (What You See)

Sweeps without SMT show Sweep Stats (6y): …
No signal: Stats: n/a
⭐ Score Meaning
5★ → SMT present (A+ setup)
3★ → Clean sweep, no SMT (B setup)
0★ → No valid sweep (NO-GO)
Use the score + stats line to decide if the idea deserves risk today.
📈 How to Trade It (Conceptual)
Wait for 11:00 candle to close.
Check panel:
If BULLISH SMT, 5★ → bias long.
If BEARISH SMT, 5★ → bias short.
If Bull/Bear Sweep, 3★ → optional, lower priority.
If No Signal, 0★ → stand aside.
Use your own execution model for entries:
Look for FVG/OB setups in the direction the panel confirms.
Targets can be based on your handle objectives (e.g., 40–80 handles) and intraday structure.
⚠️ Important Notes
Panel is a bias and stats tool, not an auto-entry system.
Works best on regular trading days (avoid major news spikes if you choose).
All stats are based on a 6-year historical lookback on NQ vs ES in this exact 10:45→11:00 structure.
Bollinger Bands Delta Matrix Analytics [BDMA] Bollinger Bands Delta Matrix Analytics (BDMA) v7.0
Deep Kinetic Engine – 5x8 Volatility & Delta Decision Matrix
1. Introduction & Concept
Bollinger Bands Delta Matrix Analytics (BDMA) v7.0 is an analytical framework that merges:
- Spatial analysis via Bollinger Bands (%B location),
- with a 4-factor Deep Kinetic Engine based on:
• Total Volume
• Buy Volume
• Sell Volume
• Delta (Buy – Sell) Z-Scores
and converts them into an expanded 5×8 decision matrix that continuously tracks where price is trading and how the underlying orderflow is behaving.
BDMA is not a trading system or strategy. It does not generate entry/exit signals.
Instead, it provides a structured contextual map of volatility, volume, and delta so traders can:
- identify climactic extensions vs. fakeouts,
- distinguish strong initiative moves vs. passive absorption,
- and detect squeezes, traps, and liquidity voids with a unified visual dashboard.
2. Spatial Engine – Bollinger S-States (S1–S5)
The spatial dimension of BDMA comes from classic Bollinger Bands.
Price location is expressed as Percent B (%B) and mapped into 5 spatial states (S-States):
S1 – Hyper Extension (Above Upper Band)
Price has pushed beyond the upper Bollinger Band.
Often associated with parabolic or blow-off behavior, late-stage momentum, and elevated reversal risk.
S2 – Resistance Test (Upper Zone)
Price trades in the upper Bollinger region but remains inside the bands.
Represents a sustained test of resistance, typically within an established or emerging uptrend.
S3 – Neutral Zone (Middle)
Price hovers around the mid-band.
This is the mean reversion gravity field where the market often consolidates or transitions between regimes.
S4 – Support Test (Lower Zone)
Price trades in the lower Bollinger region but inside the bands.
Represents a sustained test of support within range or downtrend structures.
S5 – Hyper Drop (Below Lower Band)
Price extends below the lower Bollinger Band.
Often aligned with panic, forced liquidations, or capitulation-type behavior, with increased snap-back risk.
These 5 S-States define the vertical axis (rows) of the BDMA matrix.
3. Deep Kinetic Engine – 4-Factor Z-Score & D-States (D1–D8)
The Deep Kinetic Engine transforms raw volume and delta into standardized Z-Scores to measure how abnormal current activity is relative to its recent history.
For each bar:
- Raw Buy Volume is estimated from the candle’s position within its range
- Raw Sell Volume is complementary to buy volume
- Raw Delta = Buy Volume – Sell Volume
- Total Volume = Buy Volume + Sell Volume
These 4 series are then normalized using a unified Z-Score lookback to produce:
1. Z_Vol_Total – overall activity and liquidity intensity
2. Z_Vol_Buy – aggression from buyers (attack)
3. Z_Vol_Sell – aggression from sellers (defense or attack)
4. Z_Delta – net victory of one side over the other
Thresholds for Extreme, Significant, and Neutral Z-Score levels are fully configurable, allowing you to tune the sensitivity of the kinetic states.
Using Z_Vol_Total and Z_Delta (plus threshold logic), BDMA assigns one of 8 Deep Kinetic states (D-States):
D1 – Climax Buy
Extreme Total Volume + Extreme Positive Delta → Buying climax or blow-off behavior.
D2 – Strong Buy
High Volume + High Positive Delta → Confirmed bullish initiative activity.
D3 – Weak Buy / Fakeout
Low Volume + High Positive Delta → Bullish delta without commitment, low-liquidity breakout risk.
D4 – Absorption / Conflict
High Volume + Neutral Delta → Aggressive two-way trade, strong absorption, war zone behavior.
D5 – Neutral
Low Volume + Neutral Delta → Low-energy environment with low conviction.
D6 – Weak Sell / Fakeout
Low Volume + High Negative Delta → Bearish delta without commitment, low-liquidity breakdown risk.
D7 – Strong Sell
High Volume + High Negative Delta → Confirmed bearish initiative activity.
D8 – Capitulation
Extreme Volume + Extreme Negative Delta → Panic selling or capitulation regime.
These 8 D-States define the horizontal axis (columns) of the BDMA matrix.
4. The 5×8 BDMA Decision Matrix
The core of BDMA is a 5×8 matrix where:
- Rows (1–5) = Spatial S-States (S1…S5)
- Columns (1–8) = Kinetic D-States (D1…D8)
Each of the 40 possible combinations (SxDy) is pre-computed and mapped to:
- a Status or Regime Title (for example: Climax Breakout, Bear Trap Spring, Capitulation Breakdown),
- a Bias (Climactic Bull, Neutral, Strong Bear, Conflict or Reversal Risk, and similar labels),
- and a Strategic Signal or Consideration (for example: High reversal risk, Wait for confirmation, Low probability zone – avoid).
Internally, BDMA resolves all 40 regimes so the current state can be displayed on the dashboard without performance overhead.
5. Key Regime Families (How to Read the Matrix)
5.1. Breakouts and Breakdowns
Climax Breakout (Top-side)
Spatial S1 with Kinetic D1 or D2
Bias: Explosive or Extreme Bull
Signal:
- Strong or climactic upside extension with abnormal bullish orderflow.
- Trend continuation is possible, but reversal risk is extremely high after blow-off phases.
Low-Conviction Breakout (Fakeout Risk)
S1 with D3 (Weak Buy, low liquidity)
Bias: Weak Bull – Caution
Signal:
- Breakout not supported by volume.
- Elevated risk of failed auction or bull trap.
Capitulation Breakdown (Bottom-side)
Spatial S5 with Kinetic D8
Bias: Climactic Bear (panic)
Signal:
- Capitulation-type selling or forced liquidations.
- Trend can still proceed, but snap-back or violent short-covering risk is high.
Initiative Breakdown vs. Weak Breakdown
- Strong, high-volume breakdown typically corresponds to D7 (Strong Sell).
- Low-volume breakdown often corresponds to D6 (Weak Sell or Fakeout) with potential for failure.
5.2. Absorption, Traps and Springs
Absorption at Resistance (Top-side conflict)
S1 or S2 with D4 (Absorption or Conflict)
Bias: Conflict – Extreme Tension
Signal:
- Heavy two-way trade near resistance.
- Potential distribution or reversal if sellers begin to dominate.
Bull Trap or Failed Auction
Typically S1 with D6 (Weak Sell breakdown behavior after a top-side attempt)
Indicates a breakout attempt that fails and reverses, often after poor liquidity structure.
Absorption at Support and Bear Trap (Spring)
S4 or S5 with D4 or D3
Bias: Conflict or Weak Bear – Reversal Risk
Signal:
- Aggressive buying into lows (spring or shakeout behavior).
- Potential bear trap if price reclaims lost territory.
5.3. Trend Phases
Strong Uptrend Phases
Typically seen when S2–S3 combine with strong bullish kinetic behavior.
Bias: Strong or Extreme Bull
Signal:
- Pullbacks into S3 or S4 with supportive kinetic states often act as trend continuation zones.
Strong Downtrend Phases
Typically seen when S3–S4 combine with strong bearish kinetic behavior.
Bias: Strong or Extreme Bear
Signal:
- Rallies into resistance with strong bearish kinetic backing may act as continuation sell zones.
5.4. Neutral, Exhaustion and Squeeze
Exhaustion or Liquidity Void
S1 or S5 with D5 (Neutral kinetics)
Bias: Neutral or Exhaustion
Signal:
- Spatial extremes without kinetic confirmation.
- Often marks the end of a move, with poor follow-through.
Choppy, Low-Activity Range
S3 with D5
Bias: Neutral
Signal:
- Low volume, low conviction market.
- Typically a low-probability environment where standing aside can be logical.
Squeeze or High-Tension Zone
S3 with D4 or tightly clustered kinetic values
Bias: Conflict or High Tension
Signal:
- Hidden battle inside a volatility contraction.
- Often precedes large directionally-biased moves.
6. Dashboard Layout & Reading Guide
When Show Dashboard is enabled, BDMA displays:
1. Title and Status Line
Name of the current regime (for example: Climax Breakout, Bear Trap Spring, Mean Reversion).
2. Bias Line
Plain-language summary of directional context such as Climactic Bull, Strong Bear, Neutral, or Conflict and Reversal Risk.
3. Signal or Strategic Notes
Concise guidance focused on risk and context, not entries. For example:
- High reversal risk – aggressive traders only
- Wait for confirmation (break or rejection)
- Low probability zone – avoid taking new positions
4. Kinetic Profile (4-Factor Z-Score)
Shows the current Z-Scores for Total Volume (Activity), Buy Volume (Attack), Sell Volume (Defense), and Delta (Net Result).
5. Matrix Heatmap (5×8)
Visual representation of S-State vs. D-State with color coding:
- Bullish clusters in a green spectrum
- Bearish clusters in a red spectrum
- Conflict or exhaustion zones in yellow, amber, or neutral tones
The dashboard can be repositioned (top right, middle right, or bottom right) and its size can be adjusted (Tiny, Small, Normal, or Large) to fit different layouts.
7. Inputs & Customization
7.1. Core Parameters (Bollinger and Z-Score)
- Bollinger Length and Standard Deviation define the spatial engine.
- Z-Score Lookback (All Factors) defines how many bars are used to normalize volume and delta.
7.2. Deep Kinetic Thresholds
- Extreme Threshold defines what is considered climactic (D1 or D8).
- Significant Threshold distinguishes strong initiative vs. weak or fakeout behavior.
- Neutral Threshold is the band within which delta is treated as neutral.
These thresholds allow you to tune the sensitivity of the kinetic classification to fit different timeframes or instruments.
7.3. Calculation Method (Volume Delta)
Geometry (Approx)
- Fast, non-repainting approach based on candle geometry.
- Suitable for most users and real-time decision-making.
Intrabar (Precise)
- Uses lower-timeframe data for more precise volume delta estimation.
- Intrabar mode can repaint and requires compatible data and plan support on the platform.
- Best used for post-analysis or research, not blind automation.
7.4. Visuals and Interface
- Toggle Bollinger Bands visibility on or off.
- Switch between Dark and Light color themes.
- Configure dashboard visibility, matrix heatmap display, position, and size.
8. Multi-Language Semantic Engine (Asia and Middle East Focus)
BDMA v7.0 includes a fully integrated multi-language layer, targeting a wide geographic user base.
Supported Languages:
English, Türkçe, Русский, 简体中文, हिन्दी, العربية, فارسی, עברית
All dashboard labels, regime titles, bias descriptions, and signal texts are dynamically translated via an internal dictionary, while semantic meaning is kept consistent across languages.
This makes BDMA suitable for multi-language communities, study groups, and educational content across different regions.
However, due to the heavy computational load of the Deep Kinetic Engine and TradingView’s strict Pine Script execution limits, it was not possible to expand support to additional languages. Adding more translation layers would significantly increase memory usage and exceed runtime constraints. For this reason, the current language set represents the maximum optimized configuration achievable without compromising performance or stability.
9. Practical Usage Notes
BDMA is most powerful when used as a contextual overlay on top of market structure (HH, HL, LH, LL), higher-timeframe trend, key levels, and your own execution framework.
Recommended usage:
- Identify the current regime (Status and Bias).
- Check whether price location (S-State) and kinetic behavior (D-State) agree with your trade idea.
- Be especially cautious in climactic and absorption or conflict zones, where volatility and risk can be elevated.
Avoid treating BDMA as an automatic green equals buy, red equals sell tool.
The real edge comes from understanding where you are in the volatility or kinetic spectrum, not from forcing signals out of the matrix.
10. Limitations & Important Warnings
BDMA does not predict the future.
It organizes current and recent data into a structured context.
Volume data quality depends on the underlying symbol, exchange, and broker feed.
Forex, crypto, indices, and stocks may all behave differently.
Intrabar mode can repaint and is sensitive to lower-timeframe data availability and your plan type.
Use it with extra caution and primarily for research.
No indicator can remove the need for clear trading rules, disciplined risk management, and psychological control.

RSI cyclic smoothed ProCyclic Smoothed Relative Strength Indicator - Pro Version
The cyclic smoothed RSI indicator is an enhancement of the classic RSI, adding
additional smoothing according to the market vibration,
adaptive upper and lower bands according to the cyclic memory and
using the current dominant cycle length as input for the indicator.
The cRSI is used like a standard indicator. The chart highlights trading signals where the signal line crosses above or below the adaptive lower/upper bands. It is much more responsive to market moves than the basic RSI.
The indicator uses the dominant cycle as input to optimize signal, smoothing and cyclic memory. To get more in-depth information on the cyclic-smoothed RSI indicator, please read Chapter 4 "Fine tuning technical indicators" of the book "Decoding the Hidden Market Rhythm, Part 1" available at your favorite book store.
Info: Pro Version
This is the actively maintained and continuously enhanced edition of my free, open-source indicator “RSI Cyclic Smoothed v2” which was recognized with a TradingView Editors’ Pick. The Pro Version will remain fully up to date with the latest Pine Script standards and will receive ongoing refinements and feature improvements, all while preserving the core logic and intent of the original tool. The legacy version will continue to be available for code review and educational purposes, but it will no longer receive updates. The legacy open-source version is here
Pro Features V1:
1) Leveraging multi-timeframe analysis
Indicator can be used on one chart by using different time frames at the same time. Read more on TradingView here .
2) Scoring feature added for scanning and filtering
This indicator now provides four distinct scoring states for both bullish and bearish conditions, making it fully compatible with the TradingView Screener .
Each score reflects a specific market phase based on RSI behavior, slope, and crossover signals.
Bullish States (Positive Scores)
+1 – Bull Exhaustion: Price is above the upper threshold and still rising (upsloping).
+2 – Bull Fatigue: Price is above the upper threshold but losing momentum (downsloping).
+3 – Bull Exit: A fresh downward crossover has occurred.
+4 – Recent Bull Exit: A downward crossover occurred within the recent lookback window.
Bearish States (Negative Scores)
–1 – Bear Exhaustion: Price is below the lower threshold and still declining (downsloping).
–2 – Bear Fatigue: Price is below the lower threshold but starting to turn upward (upsloping).
–3 – Bear Exit: A fresh upward crossover has occurred.
–4 – Recent Bear Exit: An upward crossover occurred within the recent lookback window.
The scoring states are shown in the indicator status panel when plotting the indicator on the chart. For a Screener run, use a generic cycle length setting.
How to determine the current active cycle length?
You can use the following additional tools to fine-tune the current dominant cycle length:
1. The advanced dyanmic Cycle Spectrum Scanner

Confirmation FilterConfirmation Filter – BOS + Follow-Through
Confirmation Filter is a structure tool that only marks validated shifts in price delivery, not every break of structure.
The script:
Builds swing structure from pivots
Identifies the swing low that carried the last bullish leg and the swing high that carried the last bearish leg
Waits for a close through that key swing (your usual BOS)
Then requires follow-through:
Bearish: within N bars, price makes a new low below the break candle’s low
Bullish: within N bars, price makes a new high above the break candle’s high
Only when this follow-through occurs does the indicator print a Confirmation Bullish / Confirmation Bearish line from the originating swing.
Why use it
Filters out many “one-bar” fake BOS moves
Highlights only those breaks that actually extend in the same direction
Keeps the chart clean by tracking a single confirmed state at a time
Inputs
Pivot length – sensitivity of swing detection
Line extension bars – how far the confirmation level is projected
Max bars for follow-through – window (in bars) within which price must extend beyond the break candle
Show labels – toggle on-chart text tags
Best used together with your own BOS / structure tools:
BOS = first break
Confirmation Filter = breaks that proved themselves with follow-through.

DTR Volume TrendDTR Volume Trend is a volume-based oscillator designed to measure trend strength, momentum shifts, and mean-reversion opportunities using volume-weighted price data. The indicator analyzes recent volume profiles, VWAP deviation, and smoothed signals to create a responsive oscillator that adapts to market conditions.
Key Features:
- Volume-weighted oscillator based on VWAP and volume distribution.
- Mean reversion mode to detect when price deviates strongly from its volume-weighted average.
- Adaptive midline that adjusts automatically to recent oscillator behavior.
- Bull and bear zones that highlight potential exhaustion or reversal areas.
- Fast and slow signal lines to show momentum changes through crossovers.
- Optional bar coloring to highlight bullish or bearish conditions on the chart.
How to Use:
- When the oscillator is above the midline, momentum tends to be bullish.
- When it is below the midline, momentum tends to be bearish.
- Upper zones may indicate overbought or exhaustion levels.
- Lower zones may indicate oversold or accumulation levels.
- Crossovers between fast and slow signals can highlight early trend or momentum shifts.
Best For:
- Trend confirmation
- Mean-reversion strategies
- Identifying momentum changes
- Spotting volume-driven extremes
Relative Strength Heatmap [BackQuant]Relative Strength Heatmap
A multi-horizon RSI matrix that compresses 20 different lookbacks into a single panel, turning raw momentum into a visual “pressure gauge” for overbought and oversold clustering, trend exhaustion, and breadth of participation across time horizons.
What this is
This indicator builds a strip-style heatmap of 20 RSIs, each with a different length, and stacks them vertically as colored tiles in a single pane. Every tile is colored by its RSI value using your chosen palette, so you can see at a glance:
How many “fast” versus “slow” RSIs are overbought or oversold.
Whether momentum is concentrated in the short lookbacks or spread across the whole curve.
When momentum extremes cluster, signalling strong market pressure or exhaustion.
On top of the tiles, the script plots two simple breadth lines:
A white line that counts how many RSIs are above 70 (overbought cluster).
A black line that counts how many RSIs are below 30 (oversold cluster).
This turns a single symbol’s RSI ladder into a compact “market pressure gauge” that shows not only whether RSI is overbought or oversold, but how many different horizons agree at the same time.
Core idea
A single RSI looks at one length and one timescale. Markets, however, are driven by flows that operate on multiple horizons at once. By computing RSI over a ladder of lengths, you approximate a “term structure” of strength:
Short lengths react to immediate swings and very recent impulses.
Medium lengths reflect swing behaviour and local trends.
Long lengths reflect structural bias and higher timeframe regime.
When many lengths agree, for example 10 or more RSIs all above 70, it suggests broad participation and strong directional pressure. When only a few fast lengths stretch to extremes while longer ones stay neutral, the move is more fragile and more likely to mean-revert.
This script makes that structure visible as a heatmap instead of forcing you to run many separate RSI panes.
How it works
1) Generating RSI lengths
You control three parameters in the calculation settings:
RS Period – the base RSI length used for the shortest strip.
RSI Step – the amount added to each successive RSI length.
RSI Multiplier – a global scaling factor applied after the step.
Each of the 20 RSIs uses:
RSI length = round((base_length + step × index) × multiplier) , where the index goes from 0 to 19.
That means:
RSI 1 uses (len + step × 0) × mult.
RSI 2 uses (len + step × 1) × mult.
…
RSI 20 uses (len + step × 19) × mult.
You can keep the ladder dense (small step and multiplier) or stretch it across much longer horizons.
2) Heatmap layout and grouping
Each RSI is plotted as an “area” strip at a fixed vertical level using histbase to stack them:
RSI 1–5 form Group 1.
RSI 6–10 form Group 2.
RSI 11–15 form Group 3.
RSI 16–20 form Group 4.
Each group has a toggle:
Show only Group 1 and 2 if you care mainly about fast and medium horizons.
Show all groups for a full spectrum from very short to very long.
Hide any group that feels redundant for your workflow.
The actual numeric RSI values are not plotted as lines. Instead, each strip is drawn as a horizontal band whose fill color represents the current RSI regime.
3) Palette-based coloring
Each tile’s color is driven by the RSI value and your chosen palette. The script includes several palettes:
Viridis – smooth green to yellow, good for subtle reading.
Jet – strong blue to red sequence with high contrast.
Plasma – purple through orange to yellow.
Custom Heat – cool blues to neutral grey to hot reds.
Gray – grayscale from white to black for minimalistic layouts.
Cividis, Inferno, Magma, Turbo, Rainbow – additional scientific and rainbow-style maps.
Internally, RSI values are bucketed into ranges (for example, below 10, 10–20, …, 90–100). Each bucket maps to a unique colour for that palette. In all schemes, low RSI values are mapped to the “cold” or darker side and high RSI values to the “hot” or brighter side.
The result is a true momentum heatmap:
Cold or dark tiles show low RSI and oversold or compressed conditions.
Mid tones show neutral or mid-range RSI.
Warm or bright tiles show high RSI and overbought or stretched conditions.
4) Bull and bear breadth counts
All 20 RSI values are collected into an array each bar. Two counters are then calculated:
Bull count – how many RSIs are above 70.
Bear count – how many RSIs are below 30.
These are plotted as:
A white line (“RSI > 70 Count”) for the overbought cluster.
A black line (“RSI < 30 Count”) for the oversold cluster.
If you enable the “Show Bull and Bear Count” option, you get an immediate reading of how many of the 20 horizons are stretched at any moment.
5) Cluster alerts and background tagging
Two alert conditions monitor “strong cluster” regimes:
RSI Heatmap Strong Bull – triggers when at least 10 RSIs are above 70.
RSI Heatmap Strong Bear – triggers when at least 10 RSIs are below 30.
When one of these conditions is true, the indicator can tint the background of the chart using a soft version of the current palette. This visually marks stretches where momentum is extreme across many lengths at once, not just on a single RSI.
What it plots
In one oscillator window, the indicator provides:
Up to 20 horizontal RSI strips, each representing a different RSI length.
Color-coded tiles reflecting the current RSI value for each length.
Group toggles to show or hide each block of five RSIs.
An optional white line that counts how many RSIs are above 70.
An optional black line that counts how many RSIs are below 30.
Optional background highlights when the number of overbought or oversold RSIs passes the strong-cluster threshold.
How it measures breadth and pressure
Single-symbol breadth
Breadth is usually defined across a basket of symbols, such as how many stocks advance versus decline. This indicator uses the same concept across time horizons for a single symbol. The question becomes:
“How many different RSI lengths are stretched in the same direction at once?”
Examples:
If only 2 or 3 of the shortest RSIs are above 70, bull count stays low. The move is fast and local, but not yet broadly supported.
If 12 or more RSIs across short, medium and long lengths are above 70, the bull count spikes. The move has broad momentum and strong upside pressure.
If 10 or more RSIs are below 30, bear count spikes and you are in a broad oversold regime.
This is breadth of momentum within one market.
Market pressure gauge
The combination of heatmap tiles and breadth lines acts as a pressure gauge:
High bull count with warm colors across most strips indicates strong upside pressure and crowded long positioning.
High bear count with cold colors across most strips indicates strong downside pressure and capitulation or forced selling.
Low counts with a mixed heatmap indicate neutral pressure, fragmented flows, or range-bound conditions.
You can treat the strong-cluster alerts as “extreme pressure” signals. When they fire, the market is heavily skewed in one direction across many horizons.
How to read the heatmap
Horizontal patterns (through time)
Look along the time axis and watch how the colors evolve:
Persistent hot tiles across many strips show sustained bullish pressure and trend strength.
Persistent cold tiles across many strips show sustained bearish pressure and weak demand.
Frequent flipping between hot and cold colours indicates a choppy or mean-reverting environment.
Vertical structure (across lengths at one bar)
Focus on a single bar and read the column of tiles from top to bottom:
Short RSIs hot, long RSIs neutral or cool: early trend or short-term fomo. Price has moved fast, longer horizons have not caught up.
Short and long RSIs all hot: mature, entrenched uptrend. Broad participation, high pressure, greater risk of blow-off or late-entry vulnerability.
Short RSIs cold but long RSIs mid to high: pullback in a higher timeframe uptrend. Dip-buy and continuation setups are often found here.
Short RSIs high but long RSIs low: countertrend rallies within a broader downtrend. Good hunting ground for fades and short entries after a bounce.
Bull and bear breadth lines
Use the two lines as simple, numeric breadth indicators:
A rising white line shows more RSIs pushing above 70, so bullish pressure is expanding in breadth.
A rising black line shows more RSIs pushing below 30, so bearish pressure is expanding in breadth.
When both lines are low and flat, few horizons are extreme and the market is in mid-range territory.
Cluster zones
When either count crosses the strong threshold (for example 10 out of 20 RSIs in extreme territory):
A strong bull cluster marks a broadly overbought regime. Trend followers may see this as confirmation. Mean-reversion traders may see it as a late-stage or blow-off context.
A strong bear cluster marks a broadly oversold regime. Downtrend traders see strong pressure, but the risk of sharp short-covering bounces also increases.
Trading applications
Trend confirmation
Use the heatmap and breadth lines as a trend filter:
Prefer long setups when the heatmap shows mostly mid to high RSIs and the bull count is rising.
Avoid fresh shorts when there is a strong bull cluster, unless you are specifically trading exhaustion.
Prefer short setups when the heatmap is mostly low RSIs and the bear count is rising.
Avoid aggressive longs when a strong bear cluster is active, unless you are trading reflexive bounces.
Mean-reversion timing
Treat cluster extremes as exhaustion zones:
Look for reversal patterns, failed breakouts, or order flow shifts when bull count is very high and price starts to stall or diverge.
Look for reflexive bounce potential when bear count is very high and price stops making new lows or shows absorption at the lows.
Use the palette and counts together: hot tiles plus a peaking white line can mark blow-off conditions, cold tiles plus a peaking black line can mark capitulation.
Regime detection and risk toggling
Use the overall shape of the ladder over time:
If upper strips stay warm and lower strips stay neutral or warm for extended periods, the market is in an uptrend regime. You can justify higher risk for long-biased strategies.
If upper strips stay cold and lower strips stay neutral or cold, the market is in a downtrend regime. You can justify higher risk for short-biased strategies or defensive positioning.
If colours and counts flip frequently, you are likely in a range or choppy regime. Consider reducing size or using more tactical, short-term strategies.
Multi-horizon synchronization
You can think of each RSI length as a proxy for a different “speed” of the same market:
When only fast RSIs are stretched, the move is local and less robust.
When fast, medium and slow RSIs align, the move has multi-horizon confirmation.
You can require a minimum bull or bear count before allowing your main strategy to engage.
Spotting hidden shifts
Sometimes price appears flat or drifting, but the heatmap quietly cools or warms:
If price is sideways while many hot tiles fade toward neutral, momentum is decaying under the surface and trend risk is increasing.
If price is sideways while many cold tiles climb back toward neutral, selling pressure is decaying and the tape is repairing itself.

Tuning guidance
Fast, tactical configurations
Use a small base RS Period, for example 2 to 5.
Use a small RSI Step, for tight clustering around the fast horizon.
Keep the multiplier near 1.0 to avoid extreme long lengths.
Focus on Group 1 and Group 2 for intraday and short-term trading.
Swing and position configurations
Use a mid-range RS Period, for example 7 to 14.
Use a moderate RSI Step to fan out into slower horizons.
Optionally use a multiplier slightly above 1.0.
Keep all four groups enabled for a full view from fast to slow.
Macro or higher timeframe configurations
Use a larger base RS Period.
Use a larger RSI Step so the top of the ladder reaches very slow lengths.
Focus on Group 3 and Group 4 to see structural momentum.
Treat clusters as regime markers rather than frequent trading signals.
Notes
This indicator is a contextual tool, not a standalone trading system. It does not model execution, spreads, slippage or fundamental drivers. Use it to:
Understand whether momentum is narrow or broad across horizons.
Confirm or filter existing signals from your primary strategy.
Identify environments where the market is crowded into one side.
Distinguish between isolated spikes and truly broad pressure moves.
The Relative Strength Heatmap is designed to answer a simple but powerful question:
“How many versions of RSI agree with what I am seeing on the chart?”
By compressing those answers into a single panel with clear colour coding and breadth lines, it becomes a practical, visual gauge of momentum breadth and market pressure that you can overlay on any trading framework.
Confluence Engine [BullByte]CONFLUENCE ENGINE
Multi-Factor Technical Analysis Framework
OVERVIEW
Confluence Engine is a multi-dimensional technical analysis framework that evaluates market conditions across five distinct analytical pillars simultaneously. Rather than relying on a single indicator or signal source, this tool synthesizes Structure, Momentum, Volume, Volatility, and Pattern analysis into a unified scoring system that identifies high-probability trading opportunities when multiple technical factors align.
The core philosophy behind this indicator stems from a fundamental observation: isolated signals frequently fail, but when multiple independent analytical methods agree, the probability of a successful trade increases substantially. This indicator was developed after extensive research into why traders often receive conflicting signals from different indicators on their charts, leading to analysis paralysis and poor decision-making.
THE PROBLEM AND SOLUTION
The Problem:
Most traders use multiple indicators independently, often receiving contradictory signals. One indicator says "buy" while another says "wait." This creates confusion and leads to missed opportunities, premature entries based on incomplete analysis, difficulty quantifying how strong a setup actually is, and inconsistent decision-making across different market conditions.
The Solution:
Confluence Engine addresses this by providing a single, unified score (0-100) that represents the aggregate strength of a trading setup. Instead of mentally weighing five different indicators, traders receive a clear numerical score indicating setup quality, visual tier classification (ULTRA, HIGH, STANDARD), specific identification of which factors are strong or weak, and actionable guidance on what to watch for next.
THE FIVE ANALYTICAL DIMENSIONS
Each dimension was selected because it measures a fundamentally different aspect of market behavior:
STRUCTURE ANALYSIS
Evaluates price position relative to key levels and recent swing points. Markets respect structure - previous highs, lows, and areas where price reversed. This dimension identifies when price interacts with these critical levels and measures the quality of that interaction.
What it detects: Price approaching or sweeping swing highs/lows, reclaim patterns after false breakouts, EMA alignment and trend structure, exhaustion after extended moves.
MOMENTUM ANALYSIS
Measures the underlying strength and direction of price movement. Strong moves are characterized by momentum preceding price. This dimension evaluates whether momentum supports the current price direction.
What it detects: Oversold/overbought conditions with reversal potential, momentum divergence states, directional movement strength (ADX-based), momentum shifts before price confirmation.
VOLUME ANALYSIS
Volume validates price movement. Significant moves require participation. This dimension measures current volume relative to recent averages to determine if market participants are genuinely committing to the move.
What it detects: Volume spikes confirming price action, below-average volume warning of weak moves, climactic volume at potential reversals, volume confirmation of rejection patterns.
VOLATILITY ANALYSIS
Markets alternate between compression (low volatility) and expansion (high volatility). This dimension identifies these phases and recognizes when compression is likely to resolve into directional movement.
What it detects: Volatility squeeze conditions (Bollinger inside Keltner), squeeze release direction, ATR expansion indicating breakout potential, compression duration for timing breakouts.
PATTERN ANALYSIS
Candlestick patterns reflect the battle between buyers and sellers within each bar. This dimension evaluates the quality and context of reversal and continuation patterns.
What it detects: Engulfing patterns with quality scoring, hammer and shooting star formations, rejection wicks indicating trapped traders, pattern confluence with other factors.
WHAT MAKES THIS INDICATOR ORIGINAL Not a mashup
This is NOT a mashup of indicators displayed together. The Confluence Engine represents an integrated analytical framework with the following unique characteristics:
Unified Scoring System: All five dimensions feed into a proprietary scoring algorithm that weights and combines their signals. The output is a single 0-100 score, not five separate readings.
Multi-Factor Gate: Beyond just scoring, the system requires a minimum number of factors to be "active" (meeting their individual thresholds) before allowing signals. This prevents signals based on one extremely strong factor masking four weak ones.
Regime-Aware Adjustments: The engine detects the current market regime (trending, ranging, volatile, weak) and automatically adjusts factor weights and score multipliers. A structure signal means something different in a trending market versus a ranging market.
Adaptive Risk Management: Take-profit and stop-loss levels are not static. They adapt based on current volatility, market regime, and signal quality - providing tighter targets in low-volatility environments and wider targets when volatility expands.
Liquidity Sweep Detection: A distinctive feature that identifies when price has swept beyond a swing high/low and then reclaimed back inside. This pattern often indicates stop hunts followed by reversals.
Signal Quality Tiers: Rather than just "signal" or "no signal," the engine classifies setups into tiers. ULTRA (80+) represents highest probability setups with all factors aligned. HIGH (70-79) represents strong setups with multiple factors confirming. STANDARD meets minimum threshold for acceptable setups.
HOW THE SCORING WORKS
Each of the five factors generates a raw score from 0-100 based on current market conditions. These raw scores are then weighted according to the selected trading style (Balanced, Scalper, Swing, Range, Trend), adjusted based on current market regime detection, modified by higher timeframe alignment (if enabled), bonused when multiple factors exceed their activation thresholds simultaneously, and multiplied by session factors (if session filter is enabled).
The result is a final Bull Score and Bear Score, each ranging from 0-100, representing the current strength of long and short setups respectively.
Signal Generation Requirements:
- Score meets minimum threshold (configurable: 60-95)
- Required number of factors are "active" (default: 3 of 5)
- Market regime is not blocked (if blocking enabled)
- Higher timeframe alignment passes (if required)
- Cooldown period from last signal has elapsed
UNDERSTANDING THE DASHBOARDS
Main Dashboard (Top Right)
The main dashboard displays real-time scores and market context:
LONG Score - Current bullish setup strength (0-100) with quality tier displayed
SHORT Score - Current bearish setup strength (0-100) with quality tier displayed
Regime - Current market state showing TREND UP, TREND DN, VOLATILE, RANGE, or WEAK
HTF - Higher timeframe alignment showing BULL, BEAR, NEUT, or OFF
Squeeze - Volatility state showing SQZ (in squeeze), REL+ (bullish release), REL- (bearish release), or NORM
Gate - Factor count versus requirement, for example 4/3 means 4 factors active with 3 required
Sweep L/S - Liquidity sweep status for long and short setups
ATR% - Current ATR as percentile of recent range indicating relative volatility
Vol - Current volume relative to 20-period average
R:R - Current risk-reward ratio based on adaptive TP/SL calculations
Trade - Active trade status and unrealized profit/loss percentage
Analysis Dashboard (Bottom Left)
The analysis dashboard provides actionable guidance:
Signal Readiness - Visual progress bars showing how close each direction is to generating a signal
Blocking Factors - Identifies which specific factor is weakest and preventing signals
Recommended Action - Context-aware guidance such as WATCH, WAIT, MANAGE, or SCAN
Watch For - Specific events to monitor for setup completion
Opportunity Level - Overall market opportunity rating from EXCELLENT to VERY POOR
Timing - Contextual timing guidance based on current conditions
Status Bar (Bottom Center)
Compact view displaying Long Score, Gate Status, Current State, Gate Status, and Short Score in a single row for quick reference.
Dashboard Size - Auto Mode Explained
When Dashboard Size is set to "Auto", the indicator intelligently adjusts text size based on your current chart timeframe to optimize readability:
Auto-Sizing Logic:
1-Minute to 5-Minute Charts → Tiny
- Lower timeframes show more bars on screen
- Tiny text prevents dashboard from obscuring price action
- Recommended for scalping and high-frequency monitoring
15-Minute Charts → Small
- Balanced size for intraday trading
- Readable without being intrusive
1-Hour to Daily Charts → Normal
- Standard size for most trading styles
- Optimal readability for swing trading
Weekly and Monthly Charts → Large
- Larger text for position trading
- Fewer bars visible so space is available
Manual Override:
You can override auto-sizing for any dashboard individually:
- Dashboard Size (All): Sets master size applied to all dashboards
- Main Dashboard Size: Override for top-right dashboard specifically
- Analysis Panel Size: Override for bottom-left panel specifically
- Status Bar Size: Override for bottom-center bar specifically
Example Use Case:
Trading on 5m chart (default = Tiny) but you have good eyesight and large monitor:
- Set "Dashboard Size (All)" to "Small" or "Normal" for better readability
- Individual dashboards will use your override instead of auto-sizing
Recommendation:
Start with Auto mode and only adjust if dashboards are too large or too small for your monitor/eyesight.
UNDERSTANDING SIGNAL LABELS
When a signal generates, a label appears with trade information:
Minimal Style Example:
LONG 85
Shows tier icon, direction, and score only.
Detailed Style Example:
ULTRA LONG
Score: 85
Entry: 50250.50
TP1: 50650.25
TP2: 51500.75
SL: 49850.25
R:R 1:2.5
Regime: TREND UP
HTF: BULL
Tier Icons Explained:
indicates ULTRA quality with score 80 or higher
indicates HIGH quality with score between 70 and 79
indicates STANDARD quality with score meeting minimum threshold
UNDERSTANDING TRADE ZONES
When a signal generates, visual elements appear on the chart:
Entry Line (Purple) marks the entry price level
TP1 Line (Blue Dashed) marks the first take-profit target
TP2 Line (Cyan Dashed) marks the final take-profit target
SL Line (Orange Dotted) marks the stop-loss level
Trade Zone Box shows shaded area from SL to TP2
These elements extend forward as price progresses. When TP1 is hit, its line becomes solid to indicate achievement. When the trade completes at either TP2 or SL, all elements are cleaned up and the entry label converts to a compact ghost label for historical reference.
Exit Labels Explained:
+X.XX% indicates first target reached with partial profit secured
+X.XX% indicates full target reached with maximum profit achieved
-X.XX% indicates stop-loss triggered
TP1 Hit, SL... indicates stopped out after TP1 was already hit (optional display)
OPPOSITE SIGNAL HANDLING
When market conditions shift dramatically, the engine may generate a signal in the opposite direction while an existing trade is active. This represents a significant change in confluence and is handled automatically:
Automatic Trade Reversal Process:
1. Detection: New signal triggers opposite to current trade direction (e.g., SHORT signal while LONG trade is active)
2. Current Trade Closure:
- All visual elements (entry line, TP/SL lines, trade zone) are deleted
- Current trade is marked as closed
3. Entry Label Conversion:
- The detailed entry label is converted to a compact ghost label
- Ghost label shows direction + score (e.g., "LONG 75")
- Marked with "OPP" outcome to indicate opposite signal closure
- Moved to a non-interfering position below/above price
4. New Trade Initialization:
- Fresh entry label created for new direction
- New TP1, TP2, SL levels calculated based on new signal quality
- Trade zone and price lines drawn for new trade
Example Scenario:
You enter a LONG trade at score 72. Price moves sideways for 8 bars, then market structure breaks down. Confluence shifts heavily bearish with a sweep reclaim bear + momentum + volume spike, generating a SHORT signal at score 81. The engine automatically:
- Closes the LONG trade
- Converts "LONG 72" entry label to a small ghost label
- Opens new SHORT trade at current price
- Displays new SHORT entry label with full trade details
Trading Implication:
This behavior ensures the engine is always aligned with the highest-probability direction based on current confluence. It prevents you from holding a position when all five factors have flipped against you.
Note: This does NOT happen for every small score change. The opposite signal must meet all signal generation requirements (minimum score, gate pass, regime check, HTF alignment) before triggering. Typically occurs during strong trend reversals or major support/resistance breaks.

Interpretation
The engine produced a standard short (Score 64) while the market showed elevated volume and volatility but no HTF confirmation. Although the Gate passed (3/3), Structure = 0 blocks the indicator from issuing fresh entries — this is intentional and by design: one missing factor (structure) is enough to prevent new signals even when other factors look supportive. The currently open short is being managed (partial targets and SL visible), but the system's recommendation is to manage the existing trade only and not open new shorts until structure or HTF alignment improves.
Why this example matters (teaching point)
-Gate ≠ Go: Gate pass (factor count) alone does not force fresh trades — the system enforces additional checks (structure, regime, HTF) to avoid lower-quality setups.
-Volume & Volatility are necessary but not sufficient: High volume and wide ATR create movement but do not replace structural validation.
-Active trade vs new entries: The script will continue to manage an already open trade but will not create a new signal while a blocking factor remains. This prevents overtrading and reduces false positives.
-Practical trader actions shown by the example
-Manage existing SHORT only: Trail to breakeven if TP1 is taken; scale out at TP1; hold remaining if price respects trend and structure reclaims.
-Do not add fresh positions: Wait for Structure > 0 or a HTF alignment that lifts the block.
-Watch for signals that matter: Sweep reclaim, HTF alignment turning bullish for shorts (i.e., HTF changes to BEAR), or a squeeze release with volume spike — these can clear the blocker and validate new entries.
RECOMMENDED TIMEFRAMES
For Scalping on 1m, 5m, or 15m charts: Use higher factor thresholds and shorter cooldowns. The faster pace requires stricter filtering.
For Day Trading on 15m, 30m, or 1H charts: This provides a balance of signal frequency and reliability suitable for most active traders.
For Swing Trading on 1H, 4H, or Daily charts: Expect higher quality signals with longer hold periods and fewer false signals.
For Position Trading on Daily or Weekly charts: Focus on ULTRA signals only for maximum conviction on longer-term positions.
Higher Timeframe Alignment Recommendations:
When trading 5m, use 1H as your HTF
When trading 15m, use 1H or 4H as your HTF
When trading 1H, use 4H or Daily as your HTF
When trading 4H, use Daily as your HTF
The general rule is to select an HTF that is 4 to 12 times your trading timeframe.
TRADING STYLE PRESETS
Balanced (Default)
Equal weighting across all five factors at 20% each. Suitable for most market conditions and recommended as starting point.
Scalper
Emphasizes Volume at 30% and Volatility at 30%. Designed for quick in-and-out trades on lower timeframes where immediate momentum and volatility expansion matter most.
Swing Trader
Emphasizes Structure at 30% and Momentum at 30%. Focuses on catching larger moves where trend direction and key levels are paramount.
Range Trader
Emphasizes Structure at 35% and Pattern at 25%. Optimized for sideways markets where support/resistance levels and reversal patterns dominate.
Trend Follower
Emphasizes Momentum at 40%. Designed for trending markets where staying with the dominant direction is the priority.
QUALITY MODE SETTINGS
Custom Mode
Set your own minimum score threshold. Lower thresholds between 60 and 65 generate more signals but with lower average quality. Higher thresholds of 75 or above generate fewer but higher-quality signals.
High Quality Mode
Uses minimum score of 70. Recommended for most users as it filters out marginal setups while still providing reasonable signal frequency.
Ultra Only Mode
Uses minimum score of 80 for maximum selectivity. Only the highest-conviction setups generate signals. Recommended for swing and position traders or during uncertain market conditions.
REGIME DETECTION
The engine continuously evaluates market conditions and classifies them into five states:
TREND UP
Characteristics: Strong ADX reading with EMAs aligned in bullish order
Trading Implications: Long signals receive score boost while short signals are suppressed. Momentum factor gains additional weight.
TREND DN
Characteristics: Strong ADX reading with EMAs aligned in bearish order
Trading Implications: Short signals receive score boost while long signals are suppressed. Momentum factor gains additional weight.
VOLATILE
Characteristics: High ATR percentile, wide Bollinger Bands, elevated volume
Trading Implications: Both directions remain viable but wider stops are recommended. Volume factor gains additional weight.
RANGE
Characteristics: Low ADX reading, narrow Bollinger Bands, low ATR percentile
Trading Implications: Structure signals are emphasized while momentum signals are suppressed. Pattern recognition becomes more important.
WEAK
Characteristics: Unclear or mixed conditions that do not fit other categories
Trading Implications: Reduced confidence in all signals. Consider waiting for clearer market conditions.
Filter Mode Options:
Off - Regime is detected and displayed but no score adjustments are applied
Adjust Scores - Automatically modifies factor weights based on current regime
Block Weak Regimes - Prevents signals from generating when regime is RANGE or WEAK
VOLATILITY SQUEEZE DETECTION
A volatility squeeze occurs when Bollinger Bands contract inside the Keltner Channel, indicating reduced volatility and potential energy building for a breakout.
Squeeze States Explained:
SQZ with bar count (example: SQZ 15)
Indicates currently in squeeze for the displayed number of bars. A score penalty is applied during this phase because compression represents uncertainty about direction.
REL+ (Release Bullish)
Indicates squeeze has released with price above the basis line. Score bonus is applied for long setups as this often precedes strong upward moves.
REL- (Release Bearish)
Indicates squeeze has released with price below the basis line. Score bonus is applied for short setups as this often precedes strong downward moves.
NORM (Normal)
No active squeeze detected. Standard scoring applies.
Trading Implication:
Squeeze releases often produce strong directional moves. The engine detects both the squeeze duration and the release direction, awarding bonus points to signals that align with the release. Longer squeeze duration often corresponds to more powerful breakouts.
LIQUIDITY SWEEP DETECTION
Markets often sweep beyond obvious support and resistance levels to trigger stops before reversing. The engine detects these patterns:
Bullish Sweep Reclaim
Price sweeps below recent swing low, triggering stop losses, then reclaims back above the swing low. This often indicates smart money accumulation after retail stops are collected.
Bearish Sweep Reclaim
Price sweeps above recent swing high, triggering stop losses, then reclaims back below the swing high. This often indicates smart money distribution after retail stops are collected.
Sweep Status in Dashboard:
RCL (Reclaim) - Reclaim has been confirmed. This receives highest structure score as the pattern is complete.
PND (Pending) - Sweep has occurred and price is near the level but full reclaim not yet confirmed. Watching for completion.
ACT (Active) - Sweep is currently in progress with price beyond the swing level.
Dash (-) - No sweep activity detected.
MULTI-FACTOR GATE SYSTEM
Beyond overall score, the engine counts how many individual factors meet their activation threshold.
Example Calculation:
Structure score 45 with threshold 35 equals ACTIVE
Momentum score 25 with threshold 30 equals INACTIVE
Volume score 50 with threshold 35 equals ACTIVE
Volatility score 40 with threshold 30 equals ACTIVE
Pattern score 35 with threshold 30 equals ACTIVE
Result: 4 of 5 factors are active
If minimum required factors is set to 3, this example passes the gate and receives a 4-factor bonus.
Gate Bonuses:
4 factors active adds 8 points to final score (default setting)
5 factors active adds 15 points to final score (perfect confluence)
Purpose:
This mechanism prevents scenarios where one extremely high factor score masks four weak factors. A score of 75 with only 2 active factors is less reliable than a score of 70 with 4 active factors.
ADAPTIVE RISK MANAGEMENT
Take-profit and stop-loss distances adjust dynamically based on three inputs:
Volatility Influence (default 40% weight)
Low ATR percentile produces tighter targets
High ATR percentile produces wider targets
This ensures stops are not too tight in volatile conditions or too wide in calm conditions.
Regime Influence (default 30% weight)
Trending market with aligned signal produces extended targets
Ranging market produces contracted targets
Volatile regime produces wider stops for protection
Score Influence (default 30% weight)
ULTRA signals (high conviction) receive extended targets
STANDARD signals receive standard targets
Higher conviction justifies larger profit expectations.
You can configure the weight of each influence in settings to match your trading style.
SESSION FILTER (Optional Feature)
When enabled, the engine applies score multipliers based on the trading session:
Asian Session (default 0.9x multiplier)
Characterized by lower volatility and ranging tendency. Score reduction reflects reduced opportunity.
London Session (default 1.1x multiplier)
Characterized by high volatility and trend initiation. Score boost reflects increased opportunity.
London/NY Overlap (default 1.2x multiplier)
Characterized by highest liquidity and strongest moves. Maximum score boost reflects peak trading conditions.
New York Session (default 1.05x multiplier)
Characterized by volatility but typically after initial moves have occurred.
Configure your UTC offset in settings to align session detection with your chart timezone.

AUTOMATIC SETTINGS VALIDATION
The indicator performs comprehensive validation when first loaded on a chart. If configuration errors are detected, a warning label appears on the chart with specific guidance.
Critical Errors (Prevent Signal Generation):
ULTRA threshold must exceed HIGH threshold
- Example error: HIGH = 75, ULTRA = 70
- Fix: Ensure ULTRA threshold is higher than HIGH threshold
- Default safe values: HIGH = 70, ULTRA = 80
Minimum factors cannot exceed 5
- The gate requires 3 to 5 factors (you cannot require 6 of 5 factors)
- Fix: Set minimum active factors to 3, 4, or 5
TP2 multiplier must exceed TP1 multiplier
- Example error: TP1 = 3.0 ATR, TP2 = 2.0 ATR
- Fix: Ensure TP2 (final target) is farther than TP1 (partial target)
- Default safe values: TP1 = 2.0, TP2 = 5.0
Swing lookback minimum is 3 bars
- Liquidity sweep detection requires at least 3 bars to identify swing highs/lows
- Fix: Increase swing lookback period to 3 or higher
ATR period minimum is 5 bars
- ATR calculation requires sufficient data for accuracy
- Fix: Increase ATR period to 5 or higher (14 recommended)
Higher timeframe must be larger than chart timeframe
- Example error: Trading on 1H chart with MTF set to 15m
- Fix: Select HTF that is 4-12x your chart timeframe
- Example: If trading 15m, use 1H or 4H as HTF
Warnings (Signal Generation Continues):
Score threshold below 50 generates many signals
- Lower thresholds increase signal frequency but reduce quality
- Recommendation: Use minimum 60 for active trading, 70+ for swing trading
Cooldown below 3 bars may cause signal clustering
- Very short cooldowns can produce multiple signals in quick succession
- Recommendation: Use 5+ bars for lower timeframes, 3+ for higher timeframes

DEBUG MODE AND FACTOR MARKERS
The indicator includes optional debug tools for traders who want deeper insight into the scoring mechanics and factor analysis. These features are disabled by default to keep the chart clean but can be enabled in the Debug Mode settings group.
FACTOR MARKERS
When "Show Factor Markers" is enabled, visual shapes appear on the chart indicating confluence states:
Perfect Confluence (5/5 Factors Active)
A circle appears below the bar for bullish or above the bar for bearish setups. This represents maximum confluence where all five analytical dimensions meet their activation thresholds simultaneously. A small label showing "5/5" also appears. This is a rare occurrence and typically precedes the highest quality signals. Background color shifts to highlight this exceptional alignment.
Strong Confluence (4/5 Factors Active)
A diamond shape appears below the bar for bullish or above the bar for bearish setups. This represents strong confluence with four of five factors active. A label showing "4/5" appears when this state is first achieved. This level of confluence is associated with high-quality setups.
Ready Confluence (3/5 Factors Active)
A triangle appears below the bar (pointing up) for bullish or above the bar (pointing down) for bearish setups. This represents the minimum confluence level required when gate is set to 3 factors. No label appears for this level to reduce visual clutter.
Confluence Background
When factor markers are enabled, a subtle background color appears indicating the current confluence state. Stronger colors indicate higher confluence levels. Bullish confluence shows green tints while bearish confluence shows red tints.
Purpose of Factor Markers:
These markers help traders visualize when confluence is building before a signal triggers. You might see a 4/5 diamond appear one or two bars before the actual signal, giving you advance notice that conditions are aligning. This can help with preparation and timing.
DEBUG PANEL (Bottom Right)
When any debug option is enabled, a debug panel appears in the bottom right corner of the chart providing detailed scoring information.
Score Breakdown Table
When "Show Score Breakdown" is enabled, the panel displays:
Factor column showing Structure, Momentum, Volume, Volatility, and Pattern
Bull column showing raw score (0-100) for each bullish factor
Bear column showing raw score (0-100) for each bearish factor
Weight column showing current percentage weight for each factor
Below the factor rows :
FINAL row shows the calculated final Bull and Bear scores after all adjustments
Adj row shows total adjustments applied including gate bonus, squeeze adjustment, and exhaustion adjustment with positive or negative sign
This breakdown allows you to see exactly which factors are contributing to the score and which are lagging. If you notice Structure consistently low, you know to wait for better price positioning relative to swing levels.
Regime Debug
When "Show Regime Debug" is enabled, the panel displays:
Current regime state (TREND UP, TREND DN, VOLATILE, RANGE, WEAK)
Current ADX value driving the regime classification
This helps you understand why certain score adjustments are being applied and verify the regime detection is working as expected for current market conditions.
MTF Debug
When "Show MTF Debug" is enabled, the panel displays:
Current MTF alignment status (BULL, BEAR, NEUT)
The higher timeframe being analyzed
This confirms the higher timeframe data is being read correctly and shows you the trend bias from the larger timeframe perspective.
Using Debug Mode Effectively
For Learning: Enable all debug options when first using the indicator to understand how scores are calculated and what drives signal generation.
For Optimization: Use score breakdown to identify which factors are consistently weak in your chosen market and timeframe. This can inform whether to adjust factor thresholds or switch trading styles.
For Troubleshooting: If signals seem inconsistent, enable debug to see exactly what values the engine is working with. This helps identify if a specific factor is behaving unexpectedly.
For Live Trading: Disable debug features to keep chart clean and reduce visual distraction. The main dashboards provide sufficient information for trade execution.
Debug Settings Summary:
Show Factor Markers - Displays shapes on chart when 3, 4, or 5 factors align. Useful for seeing confluence build before signals trigger.
Show Score Breakdown - Displays detailed table with all raw factor scores, weights, and adjustments. Useful for understanding exactly how final score is calculated.
Show Regime Debug - Adds regime state and ADX value to debug panel. Useful for verifying regime detection accuracy.
Show MTF Debug - Adds higher timeframe status and timeframe to debug panel. Useful for confirming MTF data is loading correctly.
PERFORMANCE CONSIDERATIONS
On lower timeframes such as 1-minute and 5-minute charts, the indicator creates visual elements including labels, lines, and boxes that may impact performance on slower devices.
Performance Mode automatically reduces visual elements, optimizes calculation frequency, and limits historical ghost labels when enabled.
Configure Max Ghost Labels (default 50) to control how many historical signal labels are retained on the chart.
NON-REPAINTING DESIGN
Signal Integrity:
All entry and exit signals generate only on confirmed (closed) bars using barstate.isconfirmed checks. This ensures signals do not appear and disappear during bar formation.
Higher Timeframe Data:
MTF analysis uses request.security with lookahead disabled (barmerge.lookahead_off) to prevent future data from influencing current calculations.
Visual Elements:
Lines, boxes, and labels for active trades update in real-time for monitoring purposes but this visual updating does not affect signal generation logic. Entry decisions are made solely on confirmed bar data.

Pradeep Bonde (Stockbee) Momentum Pro TradingView Description for "Pradeep Bonde (Stockbee) Momentum Pro"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pradeep Bonde (Stockbee) Momentum Pro
The Complete Momentum & Episodic Pivot Trading System
Based on the proven methodology of Pradeep Bonde (Stockbee) — the legendary momentum trader and "Mentor to $100 Million Traders."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
📈 OVERVIEW
This indicator implements Stockbee's complete momentum trading system, designed to identify high-probability swing trade setups. It combines Episodic Pivots, Momentum Bursts, Anticipation Setups, and IBD-style Relative Strength analysis into a single professional tool.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
🔥 KEY FEATURES
1. EPISODIC PIVOT DETECTION (EP)
The crown jewel of Stockbee's methodology:
- Detects 10%+ gaps on massive volume (2x+ average) — true catalyst-driven breakouts
- Identifies Delayed EP Breakouts — consolidation after initial gap, then secondary breakout
- Tracks days since EP for optimal entry timing
- PEAD (Post Earnings Announcement Drift) opportunities
2. MOMENTUM BURST SIGNALS
- 4%+ moves on volume 40%+ above average
- Quality filters: Requires narrow range before breakout, close near high of day
- Tiered signals: Momentum Burst → Strong Momentum → Exceptional Momentum
- "Quality" prefix (★) indicates setups with all filters passed
3. ANTICIPATION SETUP DETECTION
Pre-breakout coiling patterns:
- Detects 1-3 week tight consolidations after prior 15-25%+ advances
- Volume dry-up analysis during consolidation (< 60% of prior average)
- Anticipation score helps identify coiled springs before they break out
4. IBD-STYLE RELATIVE STRENGTH
- Custom RS Rating (1-99 scale) weighted by recent performance
- RS New High detection — signals institutional accumulation
- Weighted calculation: 40% Q1, 20% Q2, 20% Q3, 20% Q4 performance
5. BAG HOLDER PROTECTION ⚠️
Stockbee's cardinal rule: "Never buy after 3+ consecutive up days"
- Automatic detection of late entries
- Visual warnings on chart
- Quality score penalty for bag holder territory
6. EXIT SIGNAL SYSTEM
- First down day after 3+ up days = EXIT
- Close below 5-day MA trigger
- Clear visual EXIT labels on chart
Signal Thresholds:
- 🎯 PERFECT: Score ≥ 8.5 (highest probability trades)
- 💪 STRONG BUY: Score ≥ 7.5
- BUY: Score ≥ 6.5
- WATCH: Score 5.0 - 6.5
- ⚠️ LATE ENTRY: High score but in bag holder territory
- BEARISH: Score ≤ 3.0 and below trend MA

Based on the research and methodology of Pradeep Bonde at Stockbee.com
Morning ORB FVG Trigger✅ Overview
Morning ORB FVG Trigger is a complete intraday trading framework built around:
A Morning Opening Range Breakout (ORB)
The first Fair Value Gap (FVG) after that breakout
Strict risk management and position sizing
Optional HTF trend filter (Daily / Weekly / Monthly)
Optional Daily ATR filter to avoid extreme days
The script is designed for futures / indices / FX on intraday charts up to 15 minutes and for traders who want a clean, mechanical entry framework with clear risk.
🧠 Core idea
Define a morning opening range (e.g. 09:30–09:45).
Wait for a clean breakout above/below that range.
After the breakout, wait for the first FVG in breakout direction,
confirmed by the next candle (no immediate full reclaim).
Use a chosen stop logic + R:R factor to build risk/reward boxes.
Calculate position size based on your account risk.
(Optional) Only take trades:
In the direction of the HTF EMA trend (D/W/M).
On days where the morning range is within a band of the Daily ATR.
You can also disable all signals/boxes and use the script just as a visual ORB tool.
⏰ 1. ORB / Morning Range
Inputs (Main section)
Morning Range Session
Time window of the opening range in exchange time
Example: 09:30–09:45 for a 15-minute ORB.
You can type custom ranges (e.g. 09:30–09:35 for a 5-minute ORB).
Risk/Reward (TP factor)
Multiplier for the take-profit distance relative to the stop.
2.0 = TP is 2× the stop distance
1.5 = TP is 1.5× the stop distance
Show ORB range
If enabled, draws:
ORB high/low lines
ORB labels (e.g. 15min ORB high / low)
Optional midline
Extend ORB lines to the right (bars)
How many bars to extend the ORB high/low horizontally beyond the ORB itself.
Trade box width (bars)
Horizontal width (in bars) of:
Red risk box (entry–stop)
Green reward box (entry–TP)
Implementation details
The ORB is always calculated on 1-minute data internally, so it stays precise even on 5m/15m charts.
The script only works on intraday timeframes up to 15 minutes.
📦 2. FVG Block
Group: “FVG”
Threshold %
Minimum size of an FVG in % of price.
0 = every FVG
Higher values = only larger gaps
Auto threshold (from volatility)
If enabled, the minimum FVG size is derived from historical volatility
instead of a fixed percentage.
Allow breakout FVG partly inside ORB
Off (default): the FVG must lie fully outside the ORB.
On: the breakout FVG itself may still overlap the ORB a bit,
as long as it is the first one attached to the breakout move.
Enable FVG entry signals, boxes & alerts
On: full system – FVG detection, entry labels, risk/TP boxes, alerts.
Off: no entries, no risk/TP boxes, no alerts.
You only get the ORB and (optionally) the HTF dashboard, so you can trade your own setups.
Entry mode
Entry mode (Mid / Edge / NextOpen)
Mid – Entry at the midpoint of the FVG.
Edge – Long at the upper FVG edge, short at the lower FVG edge.
NextOpen – No limit order in the gap. Entry is placed at the next bar open after FVG confirmation.
Edge offset (ticks)
Additional offset for Edge entries:
Long:
+ticks = a bit above the FVG (more conservative)
-ticks = deeper into the FVG (more aggressive)
Short:
+ticks = a bit below the FVG
-ticks = deeper into the FVG
FVG detection logic
Uses a LuxAlgo-style 3-candle FVG pattern (gap between candle 1 and 3).
Only one FVG is taken: the first valid FVG after the ORB breakout in breakup direction.
The FVG candle is the middle bar; the script:
Detects the FVG on the previous bar.
Waits for the current bar to confirm it:
Bullish: current low must stay above the lower FVG boundary
Bearish: current high must stay below the upper FVG boundary
Only then an entry signal is generated.
🛑 3. Stop Logic
Group: “Stop Logic”
Stop mode (PrevBar / Pivot / FVG Candle)
PrevBar – Stop at the low/high of the candle before the FVG
(tight/aggressive).
FVG Candle – Stop at the low/high of the FVG candle itself
(medium).
Pivot – Stop at the most recent swing high/low
using pivotLeft / pivotRight pivots (more conservative).
Ticks (stop buffer)
Offset (in ticks) from the selected stop level.
> 0 = further away (more room, more risk)
< 0 = closer (tighter stop)
Pivot left / Pivot right
Number of candles left/right to define a swing high/low
when using Pivot stop mode.
Typical intraday values: 2–3.
The script also sanity-checks the stop:
if the calculated stop would be invalid (e.g. above entry in a long), it moves it by a minimal distance (2 ticks) to keep a valid risk.
📈 4. HTF Trend Filter (Daily / Weekly / Monthly)
Group: “HTF Trend Filter”
Enable HTF trend filter
If enabled, trades are only allowed:
Long when at least 2 of D/W/M closes are above their EMA
Short when at least 2 of D/W/M closes are below their EMA
EMA length (D/W/M)
EMA length for all three higher timeframes (Daily, Weekly, Monthly).
This helps focus entries in the direction of the dominant higher-timeframe trend.
📊 5. ATR Filter (Daily)
Group: “ATR Filter (Daily)”
Use daily ATR filter
If enabled, the height of the ORB (ORB high – ORB low) must be within
a band of the Daily ATR to allow any signals.
Daily ATR length
ATR period on the Daily timeframe.
Min ORB size vs ATR
Lower bound:
Example: 0.3 → ORB must be at least 0.3 × Daily ATR
0.0 = no minimum.
Max ORB size vs ATR
Upper bound:
Example: 1.5 → ORB must be ≤ 1.5 × Daily ATR
0.0 = no maximum.
If the ORB is too small (choppy) or too large (exhausted move), no breakout or FVG signal will be generated on that day.
🧭 6. HTF Dashboard & Signal Labels
Group: “HTF Trend Dashboard”
Show HTF dashboard
Draws a small label at the top of the chart showing:
HTF Trend (EMA X)
D: UP/FLAT/DOWN
W: UP/FLAT/DOWN
M: UP/FLAT/DOWN
Dashboard position
Top Right, Top Center, Top Left – places the dashboard at the top.
Over Risk Info – no top dashboard; instead, the HTF trend info is shown as a label near the risk box when a new signal appears.
Lookback (bars) for top anchor
How many bars to use to determine the top price level for dashboard placement.
Show HTF trend above risk box on signal
Only relevant if Dashboard position = Over Risk Info.
When enabled, a small HTF label appears near the risk box for each new trade.
Signal label vertical offset (ticks)
Vertical spacing between risk info label and HTF label.
Minimum spacing HTF/Risk (ticks)
Ensures a minimum vertical distance so the two labels don’t overlap.
HTF signal label X offset (bars)
Horizontal offset (left/right) relative to the risk info label.
⏳ 7. ORB–FVG Filters (Session & Time Window)
Group: “ORB FVG Filter”
Only same session day
If enabled, FVG entries are only allowed on the same calendar day
as the ORB. When the date changes, all state & drawings are reset.
Limit hours after ORB
Enables a time window after the ORB end.
Trading window after ORB (hours)
Length of that window in hours.
Example: 2.0 → FVG signals only in the first 2 hours after ORB end.
💰 8. Risk Management & Position Sizing
Group: “Risk Management”
Calculate position size
If enabled, the script computes suggested mini and micro contract size for you.
Account size
Your trading account size (in account currency).
Risk mode
Percent – risk is a % of account size (Account risk %).
Fixed amount – risk is a fixed dollar amount (Fixed risk ($)).
Account risk %
Risk per trade as a percentage of account size (e.g. 1.0 for 1%).
Fixed risk ($)
Fixed risk per trade in dollars when using Fixed amount mode.
Micro factor (vs mini)
How much a micro contract is worth relative to a mini.
Example:
0.1 → one micro moves 1/10 of one mini.
Risk Info label
For each new trade, a label is shown above the boxes with:
Stop distance in price and $ risk per mini
Max risk allowed for the trade
Suggested mini and micro size
Text like:
Suggested: 2 mini
Suggested: 5 micro
or Suggested: no trade
This makes the script especially useful for prop-firm rules or strict risk discipline.
🎨 9. Visual Style (Boxes, Labels, ORB Lines)
Group: “Box & Label Style (Trade)”
Label font size (Very small, Small, Normal, Large)
Entry label BG / text color
Stop label BG / text color
TP label BG / text color
Risk info BG / text color
Risk box color (entry–stop zone)
Reward box color (entry–TP zone)
Group: “ORB Style”
ORB high line color
ORB low line color
ORB line width
ORB label font size
ORB label background color
ORB label text color
Show ORB midline
ORB midline color / width / style (Solid / Dashed / Dotted)
⚠️ 10. Alerts
Group: “Alerts”
The script defines three alert conditions:
Long entry FVG breakout
Triggered when a new long signal appears.
Short entry FVG breakout
Triggered when a new short signal appears.
FVG entry (long/short)
Generic alert for any new signal (long or short).
To use them:
Add the indicator to the chart.
Open the Alerts dialog → “Condition”.
Select this script and one of the alert conditions.
Set your preferred expiration and notification settings.
Alerts only fire when Enable FVG entry signals, boxes & alerts is on.
🧩 11. How the trading logic flows (summary)
Build ORB on 1-minute data during the selected session.
Optionally reject the day if ORB is outside the ATR bounds.
Wait for a breakout (close above high or below low), respecting HTF trend filter.
After breakout, look for the first valid FVG in that direction:
Outside the ORB (unless breakout FVG allowed inside)
Confirmed by the next candle (no full reclaim)
Once confirmed:
Compute entry, stop, target.
Draw risk/reward boxes and all labels.
Optionally show HTF signal label over the risk info.
Trigger alerts if enabled.
If you disable FVG signals, only steps 1–3 (plus dashboard) are effectively active.
⚠️ 12. Notes & Disclaimer
Script is intended for intraday trading up to 15-minute timeframes.
All signals are mechanical and do not guarantee profitability.
Always backtest and forward-test on your own data before risking real money.
This script is for educational purposes only and is not financial advice.
🚀 Quick-start guide
Add the script to your chart
Use an intraday timeframe ≤ 15 minutes (1m, 3m, 5m, 15m).
Works best on liquid indices, futures, FX and large-cap stocks.
Set the Morning Range
In “Morning Range Session” choose the exchange’s opening window.
Examples
US index futures (CME): 08:30–08:45 or 08:30–08:35
US stocks (NYSE/Nasdaq): 09:30–09:45 or 09:30–09:35
The ORB is always calculated on 1-minute data internally, so the range stays accurate on higher intraday charts.
Keep the default filters at first
HTF Trend Filter: ON
EMA length = 20
This will only allow trades in the direction of the dominant D/W/M trend.
ATR Filter: OFF (optional; you can enable later once you’re comfortable).
Use the full trade system
In the FVG group leave
“Enable FVG entry signals, boxes & alerts” = ON
Entry mode: Mid
Stop mode: FVG Candle or PrevBar
Risk/Reward: 2.0 as a starting point.
Set your risk
Turn on “Calculate position size”.
Enter your Account size and choose either:
Risk mode = Percent (e.g. 1.0 = 1% per trade), or
Risk mode = Fixed amount (e.g. $250 per trade).
The risk info label will show:
Stop distance in price and $/contract
Max allowed risk
Suggested mini and micro contract size.
Enable alerts (optional)
Open the Alerts dialog → Condition: this script.
Choose one of:
Long entry FVG breakout
Short entry FVG breakout
FVG entry (long/short)
Choose “Once per bar” or “Once per bar close”, and your preferred notification type.
Replay & journal
Use the TradingView bar replay tool to step through past days.
Focus on:
How the ORB defines the structure.
How the first confirmed FVG outside the ORB behaves.
Whether the risk/TP levels fit your own style and product.
🎛 Recommended settings & profiles
These are starting points, not rules. Always adapt to the instrument and your own risk tolerance.
1. Conservative / Trend-following
Timeframe: 5m or 15m

Edge offset (ticks): 0 or +1
Stop Logic
Stop mode: FVG Candle
Stop buffer: 0–1 ticks
HTF Trend Filter
Enabled: ON
ATR Filter
Enabled: OFF (optional)
Risk Management
Risk mode: Percent
Account risk: 1.0–1.5% (if this fits your plan)
Idea: Slightly more aggressive entries at the gap edge, still aligned with HTF trend, but with more flexibility on ATR.
3. Aggressive / Scalping around the ORB
Timeframe: 1m or 3m
FVG
Threshold %: 0.0–0.02
Auto threshold: ON
Allow breakout FVG partly inside ORB: ON
Entry mode: NextOpen or Edge with a negative offset (deeper into the gap)
Stop Logic
Stop mode: PrevBar
Stop buffer: 0 or -1 tick
HTF Trend Filter
Enabled: OFF (or ON but treat as soft guidance)
ATR Filter
Enabled: OFF
Risk Management
Risk mode: Percent
Account risk: lower, e.g. 0.25–0.5% per trade
Idea: More trades and tighter stops. Best for experienced traders who understand the limitations of scalping and whipsaw risk.
Final reminder
All of these are templates, not guarantees:
Always check how the system behaves on your market and session.
Start on replay and demo before trading real money.
Adjust filters (HTF, ATR, thresholds) until the signals fit your personal approach.
3-in-1 Oscillator Pro3-IN-1 OSCILLATOR PRO: PMO + MACD + OBV
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🎯 WHAT THIS INDICATOR DOES
The 3-in-1 Oscillator Pro combines three powerful momentum indicators into ONE clean, normalized oscillator panel. No more cluttered charts with multiple indicator windows - this combines Price Momentum Oscillator (PMO), MACD, and On-Balance Volume (OBV) into a single, actionable view.
**The Secret Sauce:** Advanced normalization technology puts all three indicators on the SAME SCALE, allowing you to compare momentum, trend, and volume flow side-by-side for the first time ever.
**Bonus Feature:** Automatic pattern detection for divergences, double tops/bottoms, and head & shoulders patterns across ALL THREE indicators simultaneously!
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🔥 WHY THIS IS A GAME CHANGER
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
**Traditional Problem:**
- PMO ranges from -10 to +10
- MACD ranges from -2 to +2
- OBV ranges in millions
→ You CAN'T plot them together or compare them directly!
**Our Solution:**
Advanced normalization (Z-Score, Min-Max, or Percentage) puts ALL indicators on the same -3 to +3 scale, allowing you to:
✅ See when all 3 indicators AGREE (high conviction setups)
✅ Spot DIVERGENCES between momentum, trend, and volume
✅ Identify which indicator is leading vs lagging
✅ Make faster, more confident trading decisions
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
📊 THE THREE INDICATORS EXPLAINED
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
**1️⃣ PMO (Price Momentum Oscillator)** - BLUE LINE
- Advanced momentum indicator based on Rate of Change
- Smoother than RSI, more responsive than MACD
- Double EMA smoothing eliminates false signals
- Best for: Identifying momentum shifts EARLY
**How to Use:**
- PMO crossing above signal = Bullish momentum
- PMO crossing below signal = Bearish momentum
- PMO above 0 = Bullish zone
- PMO below 0 = Bearish zone
**2️⃣ MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence)** - ORANGE LINE
- The industry standard trend-following indicator
- Shows relationship between two moving averages
- Histogram shows momentum strength
- Best for: Confirming trend direction
**How to Use:**
- MACD above signal = Uptrend
- MACD below signal = Downtrend
- Histogram growing = Momentum increasing
- Histogram shrinking = Momentum decreasing
**3️⃣ OBV (On-Balance Volume)** - GREEN LINE
- Measures buying vs selling pressure
- Uses volume to confirm price moves
- Leading indicator (moves before price)
- Best for: Validating breakouts and reversals
**How to Use:**
- OBV rising = Accumulation (smart money buying)
- OBV falling = Distribution (smart money selling)
- OBV divergence = Possible reversal ahead
- OBV confirms price = Strong trend
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🎨 NORMALIZATION METHODS
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Choose the normalization method that fits your trading style:
**Z-SCORE (DEFAULT - RECOMMENDED)**
- Statistical method measuring standard deviations from mean
- Values typically range from -3 to +3
- Best for: Identifying extreme readings and mean reversion
- Reading: -2 or below = Oversold | +2 or above = Overbought
**MIN-MAX SCALING**
- Scales to -1 to +1 range based on recent high/low
- Best for: Range-bound markets
- Reading: Shows position within recent range
**PERCENTAGE**
- Shows deviation from average as percentage
- Best for: Relative strength comparison
- Reading: Direct percentage above/below mean
**Normalization Period:** Adjustable from 20-500 bars (default 100)
- Shorter period = More reactive, more signals
- Longer period = Smoother, fewer false signals
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🎯 AUTOMATIC PATTERN DETECTION
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
The indicator automatically detects 6 powerful patterns across ALL THREE oscillators:
**BULLISH PATTERNS** 🟢
1. **Bullish Divergence** - Price makes lower low, indicator makes higher low
→ Signals: Downtrend losing momentum, reversal likely
2. **Double Bottom** - Two similar lows with bounce in between
→ Signals: Strong support level, upward reversal setup
3. **Inverse Head & Shoulders** - Three troughs with middle one lowest
→ Signals: Major reversal pattern, strong bullish signal
**BEARISH PATTERNS** 🔴
4. **Bearish Divergence** - Price makes higher high, indicator makes lower high
→ Signals: Uptrend losing momentum, reversal likely
5. **Double Top** - Two similar highs with dip in between
→ Signals: Strong resistance level, downward reversal setup
6. **Head & Shoulders** - Three peaks with middle one highest
→ Signals: Major reversal pattern, strong bearish signal
**Pattern Table Display:**
- Shows current pattern for each indicator
- 🟢 BULL / 🔴 BEAR / ⚪ None signal
- Updates in real-time as patterns develop
- Positioned at bottom right (non-intrusive)
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
💡 HOW TO TRADE WITH THIS INDICATOR
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
**STRATEGY 1: TRIPLE CONFIRMATION**
Wait for all 3 indicators to agree:
- All pointing up = Strong BUY signal
- All pointing down = Strong SELL signal
- Mixed signals = Stay out or reduce position size
**STRATEGY 2: DIVERGENCE HUNTER**
Watch for divergences between price and indicators:
1. Price makes new high but PMO/MACD/OBV doesn't = Bearish divergence (SHORT setup)
2. Price makes new low but PMO/MACD/OBV doesn't = Bullish divergence (LONG setup)
3. When 2 or 3 indicators show same divergence = HIGHEST probability
**STRATEGY 3: VOLUME CONFIRMATION**
Use OBV to confirm price moves:
- Price breaking out + OBV rising = Valid breakout (BUY)
- Price breaking out + OBV falling = False breakout (AVOID)
- Price dropping + OBV rising = Bullish accumulation (BUY DIP)
- Price rising + OBV falling = Distribution (PREPARE TO SHORT)
**STRATEGY 4: MOMENTUM SHIFTS**
Use PMO for early entries:
- PMO crosses signal line + MACD confirms = Early entry
- PMO extreme reading (>+2 or <-2) = Possible reversal zone
- PMO divergence + Pattern detection = High probability setup
**STRATEGY 5: PATTERN POWER PLAYS**
When pattern table shows same pattern on 2+ indicators:
- 2 indicators show Bull Divergence = Strong LONG setup
- 2 indicators show Double Bottom = Strong BUY signal
- 3 indicators show bearish pattern = MAXIMUM conviction SHORT

Adaptive Trend Mapper-ATM (Arjo)Adaptive Trend Mapper (ATM) is a multi-factor trend, momentum, and compression-analysis tool designed to help traders visually map the strength and direction of market pressure.
Instead of simply combining existing indicators, ATM creates a new composite framework that blends momentum imbalance, directional strength, volatility contraction, and adaptive smoothing into a single, unified model.
Originality and usefulness
Adaptive Trend Mapper (ATM) does not replicate any one indicator.
It generates two custom indices— Bull Pressure Index and Bear Pressure Index —derived from a mathematical combination of RSI, inverse-RSI, and ADX. These indices behave differently from traditional oscillators:
They represent directional pressure on a 0–100 scale , not momentum.
They are designed to converge/diverge, forming a basis for the built-in Squeeze Detection Engine.
They can be optionally step-compressed , making the movement easier to read on fast or small charts.
The script also integrates a custom SuperSmoother trend model (not TradingView’s built-in function), which acts as an adaptive trend curve on the chart.
All calculations are combined intentionally—not as a mashup—to create a framework that allows traders to understand trend strength, compression phases, and micro-trend shifts in one place.
How the Indicator Works
1. Bull & Bear Pressure Indices:
These indices measure directional imbalance:
Bull Index = ADX strength weighted against inverse-RSI
Bear Index = ADX strength weighted against normal RSI
This produces two opposing pressure curves that rise or fall depending on whether buyers or sellers dominate.
You can optionally smooth these using:
SMA / EMA / WMA / RMA via the “Smoothing Settings” panel.
2. Squeeze & Compression Detection:
A squeeze is detected when:
ADX stays below a user-defined threshold
Bull–Bear Index difference shrinks
Average difference is falling (convergence)
This is a volatility-contraction model inspired by squeeze logic but applied to directional pressure, not Bollinger Bands/Keltner Channels .
3. Adaptive Trend Curve (SuperSmoother Engine)
The indicator applies a two-pole SuperSmoother filter to the price, then smooths it again using EMA.
The slope color flips between bullish and bearish and is displayed using:
A thin SuperSmoother curve
A thicker band for visual context
4. EMA-50 Trend Context:
An optional EMA-50 helps identify broad directional bias .
5. Step-Based Scaling
You can quantize the Bull/Bear indices using custom step intervals.
This makes the indicator easier to read on noisy intraday charts.
How to Use the Indicator
1. Trend Analysis
A rising Bull Index shows strengthening upward pressure
A rising Bear Index shows strengthening downward pressure
Wide divergence between the indices signals a strong trend
2. Compression / Squeeze Analysis
Yellow background = volatility compression + pressure convergence
Breakouts from this zone often precede directional expansion
3. Trendline Reading
SuperSmoother line color flip = micro trend shift
EMA-50 slope gives macro-trend direction
Perfect for combining trend and momentum maps on the same chart
4. Visual Interpretation
Cyan/teal → strong bullish pressure
Purple/red/orange → various levels of bearish control
Neutral/teal background → weak ADX
Yellow background → squeeze zone
Open-Source Notes
This script uses:
TradingView built-in RSI, ADX/DMI, and smoothing functions
A SuperSmoother implementation based on known DSP filter coefficients
All remaining logic, signal methods, composite indices, and compression model are original developments by ARJO .
The script is published open-source to comply with TradingView’s reuse policy.

Zonas de Liquidez Pro + Puntos de GiroAnalysis of Your BTC/USDT 4H Chart
Here’s the breakdown of the liquidity zones shown on your chart and what each element means:
🔴 Resistance Zones (Red Lines)
R 126199.43 – Upper dotted line
Level: ~$126,199
Strength: = Moderate zone
Touch count: 1 touch | 1 rejection
Meaning: Weak resistance, price has only reacted here once.
Dotted line = few historical rejections.
R 111263.81 – Thick solid red line
Level: ~$111,263
Strength: = Strong zone
Touch count: 3 touches | 2 rejections
Meaning: Major resistance level, strongly defended multiple times.
Solid, thicker line = very respected zone.
R 111250.01 – Solid red line (high strength)
Level: ~$111,250
Strength: = Extremely strong
Touch count: 5 touches | 4 rejections
Meaning: This is a critical zone, heavy liquidity stacked here.
Score 19 = institutional-grade liquidity zone.
R 107508.00 – Lower dotted line
Level: ~$107,508
Strength: = Strong zone
Touch count: 4 touches | 1 rejection
Meaning: Previously acting as resistance, now above current price.
💧 “LIQ” Markers – Liquidity Grabs
The yellow LIQ tags signal liquidity grabs.
Pattern detected:
Price taps the strong resistance around $111,263
Wicks above → triggers stop-losses
Closes back below → fake breakout
High volume → institutional stop-hunting
This led directly to the strong downside move.
🎯 Current Price Context
Current price: ~$91,533
Price is below all major resistance zones
Market structure is bearish
Price is far from major liquidity areas
📉 What Happened
The 111k resistance cluster acted as a massive ceiling
Multiple failed breakouts = institutional selling
Liquidity grabs at the top → trap for late buyers
Price then dumped from $111k to $91k (≈ -18%)
🎲 Probable Scenarios
Bullish Scenario 📈
If price returns to the $107,508 zone → first resistance test
Break with volume → target $111,250
Needs a confirmed close above to validate a breakout
Bearish Scenario 📉
If demand remains weak → continuation lower
Watch for new demand zones forming below price
Rejection from $107k–$111k would confirm bearish continuation
🔍 Key Signals to Watch
Bullish:
Price revisits resistance zone
Liquidity grab below support (fake breakdown)
Strong close back above with volume
Bearish:
New lows below $91k
Volume increasing on down moves
New resistance forming overhead
💡 Trading Approach
If you're a buyer (long bias):
Wait for price to pull into a strong demand zone
Look for bullish rejection + volume
Stop-loss below the zone
If you're a seller (short bias):
Ideal entry already happened at 111k (liquidity trap)
Look for a pullback into $107k–$111k
Watch for bearish rejection signs
Conservative Approach
Don’t trade in the middle of nowhere
Wait for price to reach a liquidity zone
Liquidity zones act as magnets → safest places to form trades
🎓 Key Takeaways
High-score zones like are extremely difficult to break → respect them
Liquidity grabs signaled the reversal perfectly
Strong rejections at 111k = smart money unloading
Thicker solid lines = more reliable levels
Divergence Detector (MACD + Volume)Divergence Detector (MACD + Volume Confirmation)
This indicator automatically detects bullish and bearish divergences between price and MACD, enhanced with volume confirmation to filter out weak signals.
🔹 Core Logic
Pivot Detection:
The script identifies swing highs and lows (pivots) using customizable left/right lookback values.
Bullish Divergence:
Occurs when price makes a lower low, but MACD makes a higher low.
A label "Bull Div" appears below the bar; if confirmed by high volume, it shows "Bull Div 🔥".
Bearish Divergence:
Occurs when price makes a higher high, but MACD makes a lower high.
A label "Bear Div" appears above the bar; if confirmed by high volume, it shows "Bear Div 📉".
Volume Confirmation:
The indicator checks whether the volume at the pivot bar is above the moving average of volume (customizable length).
This ensures that divergence signals are backed by strong market participation.
Inputs
MACD Fast/Slow/Signal Length – standard MACD parameters
Pivot Lookback Left/Right – defines the swing structure sensitivity
Volume MA Length – defines how volume strength is validated
Output
Labels:
🔹 Bull Div / Bull Div 🔥 → Bullish divergence (confirmed with volume)
🔹 Bear Div / Bear Div 📉 → Bearish divergence (confirmed with volume)
Tips
Works best on higher timeframes and trending markets.
Volume confirmation helps filter false divergences in low liquidity conditions.
Combine with trend or structure indicators for better trade setups.
