Vdubus Divergence Wave Pattern Generator V1The Vdubus Divergence Wave Theory
10 years in the making & now finally thanks to AI I have attempted to put my Trading strategy & logic into a visual representation of how I analyse and project market using Core price action & MacD. Enjoy :)
A Proprietary Structural & Momentum Confluence SystemPart 1: The Strategic Concept1. The Core Philosophy: "Geometry + Physics"Traditional technical analysis often fails because traders confuse location with timing.Geometry (Price Patterns): Tells us WHERE the market is likely to reverse (e.g., at a resistance level or harmonic D-point).Physics (Momentum): Tells us WHEN the energy driving the trend has actually shifted. The Vdubus Theory posits that a trade should never be taken based on Geometry alone. A valid signal requires a specific, fractal decay in momentum—a "Handshake" between price structure and energy exhaustion.2. The 3-Wave Momentum Filter (The Engine)Most traders look for simple divergence (2 points). The Vdubus Theory demands a 3-Wave Structure to confirm the true state of the market.A. The Standard Reversal (Exhaustion)This is the "Safe" entry, catching the slow death of a trend.Wave 1 $\rightarrow$ 2 (The Warning): Price pushes higher, but momentum is lower (Standard Divergence). This signals that the trend is tapping the brakes.Wave 2 $\rightarrow$ 3 (The Confirmation): Price pushes to a final extreme (often a stop-hunt), but momentum is flat or lower than Wave 2 ("No Divergence").The Logic: This confirms that the buyers have expended all remaining energy. The engine is dead.
B. The Climax Reversal (The Trap)This is the "Aggressive" entry, catching V-shape reversals.Wave 1 $\rightarrow$ 2 (The Bait): Price pushes higher, and momentum is Stronger/Higher (No Divergence). This sucks in retail traders who believe the trend is accelerating.Wave 2 $\rightarrow$ 3 (The Snap): Price pushes again, but momentum suddenly collapses (Divergence).The Logic: A "Strong to Weak" shift. The market traps traders with a show of strength before hitting a "concrete wall" of limit orders.C. The Predator (The Trend Continuation)The Logic: Trends rarely move in straight lines. The "Predator" looks for Hidden Divergence during a pullback.The Signal: Price makes a Higher Low (Trend Structure Intact), but Momentum makes a Lower Low (Oversold Trap). This signals the end of the correction and the resumption of the main trend.3. The "Clean Path" PrincipleA trade is only valid if there is no opposing force. If you are looking to Sell (Bearish Reversal), the opposing Bullish momentum must be weak or neutral. If the "Enemy" is strong, the trade is skipped.
Part 2: The Indicator Breakdown
Tool Name: Vdubus Divergence Wave Pattern Generator V1
This script automates your analysis by combining ZigZag Pattern Recognition (Geometry) with your Custom MACD Logic (Physics).
1. The "Golden" Settings
The physics engine is tuned to your specific discovery:
Fast Length: 8
Slow Length: 21
Signal Length: 5
Lookback: 3 (Sensitive enough to catch the exact pivot points).
2. Signal Generation Logic
The indicator scans for four distinct setups. Here is the exact logic code translated into English:
Signal 1: Standard Reversal (Green/Red Pattern)
Geometry: The ZigZag algorithm identifies a 5-point structure (X-A-B-C-D), such as a Gartley, Bat, or Butterfly.
Physics Check:
Finds the last 3 momentum peaks matching the price highs.
Rule: Momentum Peak 2 must be < Peak 1 (Divergence).
Rule: Momentum Peak 3 must be <= Peak 2 (Confirmation/No Div).
Output: Draws the colored pattern and labels it (e.g., "Bearish Gartley (Exhaustion)").
Signal 2: Climax Reversal (Orange Pattern)
Geometry: Identifies the same 5-point structures.
Physics Check:
Rule: Momentum Peak 2 is >= Peak 1 (Strength/No Div).
Rule: Momentum Peak 3 is < Peak 2 (Sudden Failure/Div).
Output: Draws the pattern in Orange labeled "⚠️ CLIMAX REVERSAL". This is your "Trap" detector.
Signal 3: Rounded Top/Bottom (Navy/Maroon Label)
Geometry: Price is compressing or rounding over.
Physics Check:
Scans for 4 consecutive waves of momentum decay.
Rule: Peak 1 > Peak 2 > Peak 3 > Peak 4.
Output: Places a label indicating a "Multi-Wave Decay," identifying turns that don't have sharp pivots.
Signal 4: The Predator (Purple Pattern)
Geometry: Identifies a trend pullback (Higher Low for Buys).
Physics Check:
Rule: Momentum makes a Lower Low while Price makes a Higher Low (Hidden Divergence).
Output: Draws a Purple pattern labeled "🦖 PREDATOR" to signal trend continuation.
3. The Confluence Dashboard
Located in the corner of the screen, this provides a final "Safety Check."
Logic: It compares the absolute value (strength) of the most recent Bearish Momentum Peak vs. the most recent Bullish Momentum Low.
Output:
Green (Bulls Strong): Buying pressure is dominant. Safe to Buy, Dangerous to Sell.
Red (Bears Strong): Selling pressure is dominant. Safe to Sell, Dangerous to Buy.
Grey (Neutral): Forces are balanced.
Summary of Potential
This system solves the "Trader's Dilemma" of entering too early or too late. By waiting for the 3rd Wave, you effectively filter out the market noise and only commit capital when the opposing side has structurally and physically collapsed. It transforms trading from a guessing game into a disciplined execution of identifying Geometric Exhaustion.

Reverse logic: Wave 1 to 2 = NO Divergence / Wave 2 to 3 = Divergence = Signal

Kill Zones Trading
Kill zones are ICT's high-probability trading windows:
1. Enable individual kill zones or use "Show All Kill Zones"
2. **Asian Kill Zone** (2000-0000 GMT): Early positioning and smart money accumulation
3. **London Kill Zone** (0300-0500 GMT): European market opening volatility
4. **NY AM Kill Zone** (0930-1100 EST): Post-NYSE open expansion
5. **NY Lunch Kill Zone** (1200-1300 EST): Midday consolidation or manipulation
6. **NY PM Kill Zone** (1330-1600 EST): Afternoon positioning and closes
7. Customize colors and times to match your trading style
8. Set max days display to control historical visibility (default: 30 days)
Use Case: Focus entries during high-probability windows. Watch for liquidity sweeps at kill zone openings and institutional positioning.
Previous Period High/Low Levels
Previous period levels act as magnetic price targets and support/resistance:
1. Enable Daily (PDH/PDL), Weekly (PWH/PWL), or Monthly (PMH/PML) levels individually
2. Set lookback period (how many previous periods to display)
3. Choose line style: Solid (current emphasis), Dashed (standard), or Dotted (subtle)
4. Customize colors per timeframe for visual hierarchy
5. Adjust line width (1-5) for visibility preference
6. Enable gradient effect to fade older periods
7. Position labels left or right based on chart layout
8. Customize label text for your preferred notation

Higher Timeframe (HTF) Candles
HTF candles reveal the larger market context while trading lower timeframes:
1. Enable up to 5 HTF slots simultaneously (default: 5m, 15m, 1H, 4H, Daily)
2. Choose display mode: "Below Chart" (stacked rows) or "Right Side" (compact column)
3. Customize timeframe, colors (bull/bear), and titles for each slot
4. **OHLC Trace Lines**: Visual lines connecting HTF candle levels to chart bars
5. **HTF Timer**: Countdown showing time remaining until HTF candle close
6. **Interval Labels**: Display day of week (Daily+) or time (intraday) on each candle
7. For Daily candles: Choose open time (Midnight, 8:30, 9:30) to match your market structure preference
Use Case: Trade lower timeframes while respecting higher timeframe structure. Watch for HTF candle closes to confirm directional bias.
FVG & VI Detection
Fair Value Gaps and Volume Imbalances highlight inefficiencies that price often revisits:
1. **Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)**: Detected when HTF candle wicks don't overlap between 3 consecutive candles
- Bullish FVG: Gap between candle 1 high and candle 3 low (green box by default)
- Bearish FVG: Gap between candle 1 low and candle 3 high (red box by default)
2. **Volume Imbalances (VIs)**: Similar detection but focuses on body gaps
- Bullish VI: Gap between candle 1 close and candle 3 open
- Bearish VI: Gap between candle 1 open and candle 3 close
3. Enable FVG/VI detection per HTF slot individually
4. Customize colors and transparency for each imbalance type
5. Boxes appear on chart at formation and remain visible as retracement targets
**Use Case**: Identify high-probability retracement zones. Price often returns to fill FVGs and VIs before continuing the trend. Use as entry zones or profit targets.
🎨 Customization
OFA is built for flexibility. Every feature includes extensive customization options:
Visual Customization
- **Colors**: Independent color control for every element (sessions, kill zones, lines, labels, FVGs, VIs)
- **Transparency**: Adjust box and label transparency (0-100%) for clean charts
- **Line Styles**: Choose Solid, Dashed, or Dotted for previous period lines

- **Session Times**: Customize each session's start/end times
- **Kill Zone Times**: Adjust kill zone windows to match your market's characteristics
- **Daily Open**: Choose Midnight, 8:30, or 9:30 for Daily HTF candle open time
💡 Best Practices
1. Start Simple: Enable one feature at a time to learn how each element affects your analysis
2. Match Your Timeframe: Use Daily levels on intraday charts, Weekly on daily charts, HTF candles one or two levels above your trading timeframe
3. Kill Zone Focus: Concentrate your trading activity during kill zones for higher probability setups
4. HTF Confirmation: Wait for HTF candle closes before committing to directional bias
5. FVG/VI Entries: Look for price to return to unfilled FVGs/VIs for entry opportunities with favorable risk/reward
6. Customize Colors: Use a consistent color scheme that matches your chart theme and reduces visual fatigue
7. Reduce Clutter: Disable features you're not actively using in your current trading plan
8. Session Context: Understand which session controls the market—trade with session direction or anticipate reversals at session transitions

IU Momentum OscillatorDESCRIPTION:
The IU Momentum Oscillator is a specialized trend-following tool designed to visualize the raw "energy" of price action. Unlike traditional oscillators that rely solely on closing prices relative to a range (like RSI), this indicator calculates momentum based on the ratio of bullish candles over a specific lookback period.
This "Neon Edition" has been engineered with a focus on visual clarity and aesthetic depth. It utilizes "Shadow Plotting" to create a glowing effect and dynamic "Trend Clouds" to highlight the strength of the move. The result is a clean, modern interface that allows traders to instantly gauge market sentiment—whether the bulls or bears are in control—without cluttering the chart with complex lines.
USER INPUTS:
- Momentum Length (Default: 20): The number of past candles analyzed to count bullish occurrences.
- Momentum Smoothing (Default: 20): An SMA filter applied to the raw data to reduce noise and provide a cleaner wave.
- Signal Line Length (Default: 5): The length of the EMA signal line used to generate crossover signals and the "Trend Cloud."
- Overbought / Oversold Levels (Default: 60 / 40): Thresholds that define extreme market conditions.
- Colors: Fully customizable Neon Cyan (Bullish) and Neon Magenta (Bearish) inputs to match your chart theme.
LONG CONDITION:
- Signal: A Buy signal is indicated by a small Cyan Circle.
- Logic: Occurs when the Main Momentum Line (Glowing) crosses ABOVE the Grey Signal Line.
- Visual Confirmation: The "Trend Cloud" turns Cyan and expands, indicating that bullish momentum is accelerating relative to the recent average.
SHORT CONDITIONS:
- Signal: A Sell signal is indicated by a small Magenta Circle.
- Logic: Occurs when the Main Momentum Line (Glowing) crosses BELOW the Grey Signal Line.
- Visual Confirmation: The "Trend Cloud" turns Magenta, indicating that bearish pressure is increasing.
WHY IT IS UNIQUE:
1. Candle-Count Logic: Most oscillators calculate price distance. This indicator calculates price participation (how many candles were actually green vs red). This offers a different perspective on trend sustainability.
2. Optimized Performance: The script uses math.sum functions rather than heavy for loops, ensuring it loads instantly and runs smoothly on all timeframes.
3. Visual Hierarchy: It uses dynamic gradients and transparency (Alpha channels) to create a "Glow" and "Cloud" effect. This makes the chart easier to read at a glance compared to flat, single-line oscillators.
HOW USER CAN BENEFIT FROM IT:
- Trend Confirmation: Traders can use the "Trend Cloud" to stay in trades longer. As long as the cloud is thick and colored, the trend is strong.
- Divergence Spotting: Because this calculates momentum differently than RSI, it can often show divergences (price goes up, but the count of bullish candles goes down) earlier than standard tools.
- Scalping: The crisp crossover signals (Circles) provide excellent entry triggers for scalpers on lower timeframes when combined with key support/resistance levels.

## 🟩 FVG ZONES
### What Are FVG Zones?
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) are price gaps between candles where price moved so fast that a gap was left. These gaps often act as support/resistance.
### Zone Requirements
- Gap size ≥ 25% of ATR
- Impulse candle has strong body (≥ 70%)
- Impulse candle is 1.5x average range
- Volume above average on impulse
- Created during active session
### Zone States
1. **Fresh** (bright color) - Just created, untested
2. **Tested** (gray) - Price touched zone midpoint
3. **Broken** (removed) - Price closed through zone
### Trading FVG Zones
| Zone | Approach From | Expected |
|------|--------------|----------|
| 🟩 Bull | Above (falling) | Support - look for bounce |
| 🟥 Bear | Below (rising) | Resistance - look for rejection |
---
## 🟣 SINGLE PRINTS
Single prints mark candles with:
- Range > 1.3x average
- Body > 70% of range
- Volume > 1.8x average
- Clear delta dominance
These become horizontal support/resistance lines extending into the future.

VB-MainLiteVB-MainLite – v1.0 Initial Release
Overview
VB-MainLite is a consolidated market-structure and execution framework designed to streamline decision-making into a single chart-level view. The script combines multi-timeframe trend, volatility, volume, and liquidity signals into one cohesive visual layer, reducing indicator clutter while preserving depth of information for active traders.
Core Architecture
Trend Backbone – EMA 200
Dedicated EMA 200 acts as the primary trend filter and higher-timeframe bias reference.
Serves as the “spine” of the system for contextualizing all secondary signals (swings, reversals, volume events, etc.).
Custom MA Suite (Envelope Ready)
Four configurable moving averages with flexible source, length, and smoothing.
Default configuration (preset idea: “8/89 Envelope”):
MA #1: EMA 8 on high
MA #2: EMA 8 on low
MA #3: EMA 89 on high
MA #4: EMA 89 on low
All four are disabled by default to keep the chart minimal. Users can toggle them on from the Custom MAs group for envelope or cloud-style configurations.
Nadaraya–Watson Smoother (Swing Framework)
Gaussian-kernel Nadaraya–Watson regression applied to price (hl2) to build a smooth synthetic curve.
Two layers of functionality:
Swing labels (▲ / ▼) at inflection points in the smoothed curve.
Optional curve line that visually tracks the turning structure over the last ~500 bars.
Designed to surface early swing potential before standard MAs react.
Hull Moving Average (Trend Overlay)
Optional Hull MA (HMA) for faster trend visualization.
Color-coded by slope (buy/sell bias).
Default: off to prevent overloading the chart; can be enabled under Hull MA settings.
Momentum, Exhaustion & Pattern Engine
CCI-Based Bar Coloring
CCI applied to close with configurable thresholds.
Overbought / oversold CCI zones map directly into candle coloring to visually highlight short-term momentum extremes.
RSI Top / Bottom Exhaustion Finder
RSI logic applied separately to high-driven (tops) and low-driven (bottoms) sequences.
Plots:
Top arrows where high-side RSI stretches into high-risk territory.
Bottom arrows where low-side RSI indicates exhaustion on the downside.
Useful as confluence around the Nadaraya swing turns and EMA 200 regime.
Engulfing + MA Trend Engine (“Fat Bull / Fat Bear”)
Detects bullish and bearish engulfing patterns, then combines them with MA trend cross logic.
Only when both pattern and MA regime align does the engine flag:
Fat Bull (Engulf + MA aligned long)
Fat Bear (Engulf + MA aligned short)
Candles are marked via conditional barcolor to highlight strong, structured shifts in control.
Fat Finger Detection (Wick Spikes / Stop Runs)
Identifies abnormal wick extensions relative to the prior bar’s body range with configurable tolerance.
Supports detection of potential liquidity grabs, stop runs, or “excess” that may precede reversals or mean-reversion behavior.
Volume & Liquidity Intelligence
Bull Snort (Aggressive Buy Spikes)
Flags events where:
Volume is significantly above the 50-period average, and
Price closes in the upper portion of the bar and above prior close.
Plots a labeled marker below the bar to indicate aggressive upside initiative by buyers.
Pocket Pivots (Accumulation Flags)
Compares current volume vs prior 10 sessions with a filter on prior “up” days.
Highlights pocket pivot days where current green candle volume outclasses recent down-day volumes, suggesting stealth accumulation.
Delta Volume Core (Directional Volume by Price)
Internal volume-by-price style engine over a user-defined lookback.
Splits volume into up-close and down-close buckets across dynamic price bins.
Feeds into S&R and ICT zone logic to quantify where buying vs selling pressure built up.
Structural Context: S&R and ICT Zones
S&R Power Channel
Computes local high/low band over a configurable lookback window.
Renders:
Upper and lower S&R channel lines.
Shaded support / resistance zones using boxes.
Adds Buy Power / Sell Power metrics based on the ratio of up vs down bars inside the window, displayed directly in the zone overlays.
Drops ◈ markers where price interacts dynamically with the top or bottom band, highlighting reaction points.
ICT-Style Premium / Discount & Macro Zones
Two tiered structures:
Local Premium / Discount zones over a shorter SR window.
Macro Premium / Discount zones over a longer macro window.
Each zone:
Uses underlying directional volume to annotate accumulation vs distribution bias.
Provides Delta Volume Bias shading in the mid-band region, visually encoding whether local power flows are net-buying or net-selling.
Enables traders to quickly see whether current trade location is in a local/macro discount or premium context while still respecting volume profile.
Positioning Intelligence: PCD (Stocks)
Position Cost Distribution (PCD) – Stocks Only
Available for stock symbols on intraday up to daily timeframe (≤ 1D).
Uses:
TOTAL_SHARES_OUTSTANDING fundamentals,
Daily OHLCV snapshot, and
A bucketed distribution engine
to approximate cost basis distribution across price.
Outputs:
Horizontal “PCD bars” to the right of current price, density-scaled by estimated share concentration.
Color-coding by profitability relative to current price (profitable vs unprofitable positions).
Labels for:
Current price
Average cost
Profit ratio (share % below current price)
90% cost range
70% cost range
Range overlap as a measure of clustering / concentration.
Multi-Timeframe Trend: Two-Pole Gaussian Dashboard
Two-Pole Gaussian Filter (Line + Cloud)
Smooths a user-selected source (default: close) using a two-pole Gaussian filter with tunable alpha.
Plots:
A thin Gaussian trend line, and
A thick Gaussian “cloud” line with transparency, colored by slope vs past (offsetG).
Functions as a responsive trend backbone that is more sensitive than EMA 200 but less noisy than raw price.
Multi-Timeframe Gaussian Dashboard
Evaluates Gaussian trend direction across up to six timeframes (e.g., 1H / 2H / 4H / Daily / Weekly).
Renders a compact bottom-right table:
Header: symbol + overall bias arrow (up / down) based on average trend alignment.
Row of colored cells per timeframe (green for uptrend, magenta for downtrend) with human-readable TF labels (e.g., “60M”, “4H”, “1D”).
Gives an immediate read on whether intraday, swing, and higher-timeframe flows are aligned or fragmented.
Default Configuration & Usage Guidance
Default state after adding the script:
Enabled by default:
EMA 200 trend backbone
Nadaraya–Watson swing labels and curve
CCI bar coloring
RSI top/bottom arrows
Fat Bull / Fat Bear engine
Bull Snort & Pocket Pivots
S&R Power Channel
ICT Local + Macro zones
Two-pole Gaussian line + cloud + dashboard
PCD engine for stocks (auto-active where data is available)
Disabled by default (opt-in):
Custom MA suite (4x MAs, preset as EMA 8/8/89/89)
Hull MA overlay
How traders can use VB-MainLite in practice:
Use EMA 200 + Gaussian dashboard to define top-down directional bias and avoid trading directly against multi-TF trend.
Use Nadaraya swing labels, RSI exhaustion arrows, and CCI bar colors to time entries within that higher-timeframe bias.
Use Fat Bull / Fat Bear events as structured confirmation that both pattern and MA regime have flipped in the same direction.
Use Bull Snort, Pocket Pivots, and S&R / ICT zones to align execution with liquidity, volume, and location (premium vs discount).
On stocks, use PCD as a positioning map to understand trapped supply, support zones near crowded cost basis, and where profit-taking is likely.
MACD Momentum Structure & Volume Profile Sniper [MTF]**Description and Methodology**
This script offers a unique approach to Market Structure by moving away from traditional fractal-based highs and lows (which can be noisy). Instead, it utilizes **MACD Momentum Swings** to identify significant structural points, combined with an automated Fixed Range Volume Profile to pinpoint high-probability entry zones.
**1. Why MACD Structure? (The Core Concept)**
Traditional "ZigZag" or Fractal indicators rely solely on price action, often leading to fake-outs during low-volume consolidation.
* This script defines a "Swing High" only when the MACD Histogram crosses below zero (Momentum shifts Bearish).
* This script defines a "Swing Low" only when MACD crosses above zero (Momentum shifts Bullish).
By linking structure to momentum, we filter out weak price movements and focus on the true "heartbeat" of the trend.
**2. The "Mashup" Synergy: Structure + Volume + Logic**
This is not a random combination of indicators. Each component serves a specific step in the trading execution sequence:
* **Step 1 (Structure):** The script identifies a Change of Character (CHoCH) based on the MACD peaks described above.
* **Step 2 (Liquidity/Value):** When a CHoCH occurs, the script *automatically* draws a **Fixed Range Volume Profile (FRVP)** specifically covering the impulse leg that caused the break. This reveals the "Point of Control" (POC)—the hidden price level where the most volume occurred during the move.
* **Step 3 (The Sniper Entry):** The script creates a "Zone" around that POC. It then waits for Price to retrace into this zone.
* **Step 4 (Confirmation):** Once the zone is touched, the script monitors a lower timeframe (User selectable, default M1) for a fresh MACD crossover to trigger the final entry signal.
**Features**
* **Multi-Timeframe Dashboard:** Monitor the MACD Trend direction across 4 different timeframes simultaneously.
* **Dynamic Trendlines:** Automatically connects confirmed MACD peaks to visualize trend integrity.
* **Fibo Time Zones:** Projects potential future pivot points based on the duration of the previous swing.
* **Alert System:** Integrated alerts for Zone Touches and "Sniper" entries (Zone Touch + LTF Momentum Confirmation).
**How to Use**
1. **Identify Trend:** Look for the CHoCH labels. Green indicates a shift to Bullish, Red to Bearish.
2. **Wait for Pullback:** Do not chase the break. Wait for price to return to the Yellow POC Zone generated by the Volume Profile.
3. **Entry Trigger:** Watch for the "BUY" or "SELL" marks. These appear only when price hits the zone AND the lower-timeframe momentum aligns with the trade direction.
**Settings & Inputs**
* **Global MACD:** Adjust the sensitivity of the swing detection (Default 12, 26, 9).
* **Sniper Entry:** Select the timeframe used for the final confirmation (e.g., use M1 confirmation for an H1 chart structure).
* **VP Settings:** Customize how the Volume Profile looks on the chart.

Trinity CCI Pro PlusWhat It Is
Trinity CCI Pro Plus is an innovative overlay indicator that reimagines the classic Commodity Channel Index (CCI) by plotting its levels directly on the price chart. No more separate oscillator panel—instead, you get dynamic price-based bands and lines for instant momentum insights.
What You See on the Chart
Orange line: The CCI zero line (20-period SMA of typical price, hlc3)—acts as the baseline.
Aqua line: Dynamic upper band at CCI = +100 (overbought threshold).
Purple line: Dynamic lower band at CCI = -100 (oversold threshold).
Optional thick purple line: The extra SMA of CCI (14-period smooth) scaled back to price—serves as a signal line for crossovers.
Optional outer zones: ±200 bands (aqua/purple extensions) for extreme momentum levels, often added as dotted or filled areas to spot blow-off tops/bottoms.
Key Differences from Regular CCI
Standard CCI lives in a lower pane with fixed horizontal lines at +100, 0, and -100, forcing you to split your focus. This version overlays everything on price: the bands curve with market volatility, the zero line becomes a moving average, and the extra SMA/signal line integrates seamlessly for price-action trading. Plus, it naturally supports outer ±200 zones without extra coding, making extremes visually pop.
How Traders Use It
Momentum breakouts: Buy when price closes above the +100 aqua band (or +200 for aggressive entries); sell below -100 purple (or -200).
Mean reversion: Fade touches on the bands—take profits if price rejects the +100/-100 levels, or watch for exhaustion at ±200.
Trend bias: Price above orange zero = bullish filter; below = bearish. Use the extra SMA for confirmation (e.g., price crossing above it signals upside).
Crossover signals: Price vs. the thick purple SMA line—bullish above, bearish below—pairs perfectly with band breaks.
Range trading: Treat ±100 bands as dynamic support/resistance; outer ±200 zones highlight potential breakout setups.
This setup shines in trending markets (e.g., stocks or forex on 1H/daily charts), turning CCI into a one-glance channel system. Start with the defaults, add the ±200 and extra SMA via simple code tweaks, and backtest for your style—it's versatile and reduces screen clutter dramatically.
More Info
The 20 period MA is the original and still the most common setting for CCI, and it is exactly what the creator of the CCI, Donald Lambert, published it in 1980 with these exact parameters:
Length: 20 periods
Constant: 0.015 (to make CCI fall between +100 and –100 about 70–80 % of the time)
Typical Price: hlc3 (or sometimes (high + low + close)/3)
Deviation measure: Mean Deviation (not standard deviation)
So the “Trinity CCI Pro Plus” you are using is 100 % faithful to Lambert’s original design when the length is set to 20.
Titan AI: EWO Pro + Divergencias de VolumenBINANCE:BTCUSDT.P The indicator is only in Spanish.
Titan AI: EWO Pro is not your standard Elliott Wave Oscillator. It is a next-generation Order Flow & Volume engine designed to detect the true intent of the market. Unlike traditional oscillators that rely solely on price action, Titan EWO Pro incorporates a "Volume Efficiency" algorithm normalized via Z-Score (Standard Deviation).
This indicator is built for traders who need to see what is happening inside the candles. It answers the critical question: "Is the price moving with real institutional backing, or is it a fake-out with no volume?"
With the integrated "GOD MODE" Dashboard, you get a tactical Heads-Up Display (HUD) that translates complex mathematical data into clear, actionable signals in real-time.
💎 Key Features
Z-Score Normalized EWO:
Standard EWO indicators can vary wildly depending on the asset price (BTC vs. Forex).
Titan EWO Pro normalizes the data using Standard Deviations (Z-Score). This means a value of +2.0 represents a statistically significant extreme move, regardless of the timeframe or asset.
Volume Efficiency Algorithm:
The core calculation measures (Close - Open) / Volume. This determines how much volume was required to move the price.
High efficiency means price is moving easily (strong trend). Low efficiency means high volume but little movement (absorption/reversal).
Volume Divergences:
Automatically detects discrepancies between Price Action and Order Flow.
Bullish Divergence: Price makes a Lower Low, but Titan EWO makes a Higher Low (Accumulation).
Bearish Divergence: Price makes a Higher High, but Titan EWO makes a Lower High (Distribution).
Institutional Extremes (Reversals):
The indicator marks the +2.0 and -2.0 Standard Deviation levels.
When the histogram crosses these levels, the market is statistically overextended. Watch for Triangle Signals indicating a potential "V" reversal or exhaustion.
GOD MODE Dashboard (HUD):
A professional panel fixed to your screen (customizable position).
Trend: Displays strict Bullish (Green) or Bearish (Red) status.
Strength (Z): The exact Z-Score value.
Momentum: Tells you if the move is "Accelerating" or "Braking" (Decelerating).
Divergence: Real-time alert status.
🚀 How to Use
1. Trend Following (The Wave)
Green Bars: Look for Longs. Momentum is bullish and Order Flow supports the move.
Red Bars: Look for Shorts. Momentum is bearish.
Darker Colors: If the bars turn dark green or dark red, momentum is slowing down (Deceleration). This is a warning to tighten Stop Losses or wait for a new impulse.
2. Trading Reversals (The Extremes)
Statistical Extremes: If the histogram punches through the +2.0 or -2.0 dotted lines, the move is overextended (climax).
Triangles: Small triangles appear at the top/bottom of the chart when these extremes are hit. This is often a "Take Profit" signal or a contrarian entry point if confirmed by price action.
3. Divergences (The Smart Entry)
Look for the "Vol" circles.
A Green Circle at the bottom indicates that sellers are exhausted, but volume flow is shifting bullish.
A Red Circle at the top indicates that buyers are exhausted (price up, but volume flow down).
4. The Dashboard
Use the dashboard for confirmation.
Ideally: You want "ALCISTA" (Bullish), "ACELERANDO" (Accelerating), and a high Z-Score (> 0.5) for a strong Long trade.
⚙️ Settings
EWO Length: The lookback period for the oscillator (Default: 12).
Smoothing: Helps reduce noise in the histogram (Default: 10).
Pivot Lookback: Sensitivity for divergence detection (Default: 5).
Dashboard: You can toggle the panel ON/OFF, change its size (Tiny/Small/Normal), and move it to any corner of the chart.

XAU Macro Regime + Mispricing OscillatorThis indicator is designed to measure the true macro environment behind gold (XAUUSD) and identify when price is aligned with macro flows or mispriced relative to them.
It combines a macro composite index, a mispricing spread oscillator, and automatic divergence detection into one tool.
1. Macro Composite Index (Regime Filter)
The top layer of the indicator constructs a macro regime score derived from:
A basket of gold FX pairs (XAUJPY, XAUAUD, XAUCHF, XAUNZD, XAUSGD)
The inverted DXY (to represent USD pressure on gold)
US30 (to capture global risk appetite and macro sentiment)
Each component is normalized and weighted, then combined into a composite macro index.
A smoothed baseline (SMA) is subtracted from this composite to form the Regime Line.
Interpretation
Regime > 0 (Green background):
Macro environment is supportive for gold.
XAUUSD is more likely to rise, consolidate, or mean revert upward.
Regime < 0 (Red background):
Macro environment is hostile for gold.
XAUUSD is more likely to fall, struggle, or mean revert downward.
This creates a macro trend filter that tells you when it is safer to prefer longs, shorts, or stay out.
2. Mispricing Spread Oscillator (Spread MACD)
The second layer measures the difference between XAUUSD and the macro composite index:
Spread = (Macro Composite) – (Normalized XAUUSD)
This spread is then smoothed into a signal line, and a histogram is plotted from their difference (MACD-style).
Interpretation
Spread > 0:
Gold is undervalued relative to macro conditions.
Macro strength > price strength.
Spread < 0:
Gold is overvalued relative to macro conditions.
Price strength > macro strength.
Spread crossing above signal:
Macro momentum turning bullish relative to price.
Spread crossing below signal:
Macro momentum turning bearish relative to price.
Green histogram: acceleration upward
Red histogram: acceleration downward
This oscillator captures mispricing, momentum shifts, and macro-pressure reversals.
3. Automatic Divergence Detection
The indicator automatically detects:
-Bullish Divergence-
XAUUSD makes a lower low
Spread makes a higher low
→ Price is weaker than macro reality → potential bullish reversal or mispricing reversion.
-Bearish Divergence-
XAUUSD makes a higher high
Spread makes a lower high
→ Price is stronger than macro reality → potential bearish reversal or exhaustion.
Labels (“Bull div” / “Bear div”) appear directly on the oscillator for clarity.
4. What The Indicator Seeks To Do
This indicator aims to answer the question:
“Is gold moving with the true macro pressure behind it, or diverging from it?”
Most gold indicators only watch XAUUSD price.
This one watches:
-gold cross-currency flows
-USD strength
-global risk sentiment
-gold’s relative position vs macro
-mispricing momentum
-divergence between price and macro reality
This creates a unique tool that:
-Detects when gold is overextended
-Detects when gold is undervalued
-Reveals hidden macro strength or weakness
-Highlights turning points and exhaustion
-Shows when a pullback is likely to end
-Shows when a rally is likely to fail
-Gives regime-aware trade direction (long vs short bias)
-Adds divergence labels for precision entries

## 🔧 YM-SPECIFIC OPTIMIZATIONS
This unified indicator has been specifically tuned for YM's characteristics:
### Tier Thresholds
| Tier | NQ (Original) | YM (Optimized) | Rationale |
|------|---------------|----------------|-----------|
| S-Tier | 100 pts | **50 pts** | YM's daily range is ~50% of NQ |
| A-Tier | 50 pts | **25 pts** | Proportional scaling |
| B-Tier | 20 pts | **12 pts** | Still 5%+ of typical daily range |
### Filter Adjustments
| Filter | NQ Value | YM Value | Why |
|--------|----------|----------|-----|
| Volume Ratio | 1.5x | **1.8x** | Higher bar = less retail noise |
| Delta Threshold | 60% | **62%** | Tighter for cleaner signals |
| Body Ratio | 70% | **72%** | More conviction required |
| Range Multiplier | 1.3x | **1.4x** | Bigger move = real signal |
| Gap ATR% | 30% | **25%** | Smaller gaps still significant |
| Zone Age | 50 bars | **75 bars** | Zones last longer in slow market |
### Why These Changes Work
1. **Higher Volume Bar**: YM has more institutional flow. Requiring 1.8x volume ensures we're catching real moves, not retail chop.
2. **Tighter Delta**: With less noise, we can demand clearer buyer/seller dominance before entering.
3. **Longer Zone Life**: YM trends persist longer. A zone that would be stale in NQ is still viable in YM.
4. **Smaller Gap Threshold**: YM gaps are naturally smaller. 25% of ATR in YM is significant institutional activity.

---
## 🎯 TRADING STRATEGIES
### Strategy 1: Zone + Tier Confluence (Highest Probability)
```
THE ULTIMATE YM SETUP:
═══════════════════════
Setup:
1. Active DeepFlow zone exists (green box below for long)
2. Price pulls back INTO the zone
3. Tier signal fires INSIDE the zone (S🎯/A🎯)
4. Score shows 7+/10
Entry: Signal candle close
Stop: Below zone bottom (for longs)
Target: Based on tier (1.5-2.5:1 R:R)
Why It Works:
• Zone = institutional limit orders
• Tier signal = momentum confirmation
• Double confirmation = high probability
Expected Win Rate: 70-75%
```
### Strategy 2: Pure Tier Signal with POC Stop
```
SNIPER TIER TRADE:
══════════════════
Setup:
1. Tier signal appears (preferably A or S)
2. Score ≥ 5/10
3. Note POC level on signal candle
4. Red/green stop/target lines appear
Entry: Signal candle close
Stop: Beyond POC (shown on chart)
Target: Auto-calculated based on tier
Key: POC placement matters
• POC near candle bottom (longs) = STRONG
• POC in middle = weaker signal
• POC at extreme = possible exhaustion
Expected Win Rate: 60-65%
```
### Strategy 3: Zone Bounce (Continuation)
```
ZONE BOUNCE TRADE:
══════════════════
Setup:
1. Fresh zone created during session
2. Price leaves zone, moves in zone direction
3. Price returns to test zone (within 15 bars)
4. Z🎯 signal appears or rejection candle forms
Entry: At CE line (middle of zone)
Stop: Beyond zone edge
Target: Previous swing high/low
Why It Works:
• Zones represent unfilled orders
• First retest often finds support/resistance
• Lower volatility = cleaner bounces
Expected Win Rate: 55-60%
```
### Strategy 4: Single Print Scalp
```
SINGLE PRINT SCALP:
═══════════════════
Setup:
1. Single Print (SP) marker appears
2. Note the gold/purple lines at high/low
3. Wait for price to return to SP level
4. Look for rejection or tier signal at level
Entry: At SP line with confirmation
Stop: Beyond the SP line
Target: Quick 1:1 or to next structure
Why It Works:
• SP = price moved too fast, orders unfilled
• Price often returns to "fill" these levels
• YM's slower pace makes retests likely
Expected Win Rate: 55-60%

Smart Money Setup 08 [TradingFinder] Binary Options Gold Scalper🔵 Introduction
In the Smart Money methodology, the market is understood as a structure driven by liquidity flow. This structure forms through the movement of large orders, the accumulation of liquidity, and the reactions that occur around key price zones. The logic of Smart Money is based on the idea that price movement is not random and usually evolves with the intention of collecting liquidity and creating price inefficiencies known as imbalances.
Within this framework, several important stages including the liquidity sweep, the formation of a point of interest, the appearance of an imbalance and the transition of market structure play major roles and collectively define the broader direction of price.
In many bullish scenarios, the market begins by sweeping sell side liquidity and targeting important lows in order to collect the liquidity resting below them. This liquidity collection often becomes the starting point for creating a point of interest which usually marks the area where Smart Money begins to enter the market.
After price moves away from this point, it breaks a structural high and forms a change of character. This shift marks a transition in the balance of power between buyers and sellers and is considered the first clear signal that the market structure is changing.
After the change of character, new institutional order flow often creates a strong and rapid movement that leaves behind an imbalance. This imbalance is one of the most important elements in Smart Money analysis because price tends to return to this area in order to complete structure and restore balance.
The return into the imbalance becomes meaningful when it occurs together with the liquidity sweep, the presence of a validated point of interest and a confirmed structural transition. These conditions frequently mark the beginning of powerful movements within the Smart Money cycle.
Understanding the sequence of liquidity, point of interest, imbalance, change of character and market structure builds the foundation of Smart Money analysis and provides a clear view of the true direction of institutional strength.
Bullish Setup :
Bearish Setup :
🔵 How to Use
To use this framework effectively, the trader must analyze the market through the principles of Smart Money and observe how liquidity drives price. A trade becomes valid only when several essential components appear together in a clear and consistent order.
These components include the liquidity sweep, the formation of a point of interest, the confirmation of a change of character, the transition of market structure and the return of price into an imbalance. The method is built on the understanding that the market first collects liquidity, then shifts order flow and finally provides an entry opportunity inside an inefficient area or inside a point of interest.
For this reason, the trader must follow the path of liquidity from the moment the sweep occurs, through the point of interest and the change of character and finally into the return of price toward the imbalance. When applied correctly, this approach creates entries that are more precise, more structural and more aligned with the real behavior of the market rather than with superficial signals.
🟣 Long Position
A bullish setup in Smart Money structure begins with a liquidity sweep on the sell side. The market first targets the areas where sell side liquidity is located and collects the stops and resting liquidity under previous lows. This collection is the condition that Smart Money requires to begin creating a new order flow. After this liquidity has been taken, a point of interest forms which is usually the last bearish candle or the effective demand zone that initiated the upward movement.
Price then moves away from the point of interest and breaks a structural high which creates a change of character. This event confirms that the market structure has moved from a bearish state to a bullish one and that buying pressure has taken control of the order flow. Following this shift, a strong upward movement often occurs and creates an imbalance between candles. This imbalance reflects the entrance of strong Smart Money orders and is seen as an important confirmation of bullish strength.
When price returns to this imbalance after the displacement, the market enters a phase where Smart Money aims to complete the corrective movement and continue the upward direction. The reaction inside the imbalance when combined with the liquidity sweep, the confirmed point of interest and the change of character completes the bullish setup and forms a structure that often leads to a continuation of the bullish trend.
🟣 Short Position
A bearish setup follows the same Smart Money logic but in the opposite direction. The market begins by collecting buy side liquidity and targets the highs where buy side liquidity and resting stops are located. This liquidity sweep on the buy side becomes the starting phase for Smart Money to initiate a downward order flow. After the liquidity is collected, a bearish point of interest forms which is usually the last bullish candle or the supply zone that created the initial drop.
Price then moves away from this point and breaks the first structural low. This creates a change of character to the downside which confirms that the market structure has transitioned from bullish to bearish and that selling pressure has gained control. After this shift, a strong downward displacement appears and leaves behind a bearish imbalance that clearly shows the dominance of sellers.
As price returns to this imbalance and corrects the inefficient movement, the bearish setup becomes complete as long as the market structure remains bearish. The combination of the buy side liquidity sweep, the bearish point of interest, the change of character, the imbalance and the corrective return creates the ideal structure that Smart Money uses to continue the downward movement and develop a reliable selling opportunity.

🔵 Conclusion
The Smart Money approach demonstrates that price movement is not random or based on surface level patterns. Instead, it develops through a clear cycle of liquidity collection, structural transition and corrective movement toward key price zones. By recognizing events such as the liquidity sweep, the formation of the point of interest, the change of character and the return into the imbalance, the trader gains the ability to understand order flow more accurately and identify the true direction of market structure.
Both bullish and bearish setups show that the alignment of these elements creates a transparent view of institutional behavior and reveals the source of strong movements in the market. When the trader correctly identifies this sequence, entry points become more reliable and more aligned with liquidity flow. The combination of liquidity, structure and imbalance provides a consistent framework that removes guesswork and guides decisions through the real logic of the market.
Market Regime Flip (Dunk)This indicator is a trend regime flip tool built on top of MACD. Instead of reacting to every little wiggle, it waits for several bars in a row where the MACD stays either above or below zero (by default, 3 consecutive bars). When the MACD has been above zero for 3 bars, it declares a bull regime and marks that bar on the price chart with a green “BULL” triangle above the candle. When the MACD has been below zero for 3 bars, it declares a bear regime and marks that bar with a red “BEAR” triangle below the candle. It also lightly colors the chart background green in bull regimes and red in bear regimes, so you can see at a glance which side of the market you’re in.
In other words, it turns the MACD’s usual “above/below zero” behavior into a clean, slower-changing on/off regime switch. Instead of giving you constant signals, it focuses on the moments where momentum truly shifts and sticks around for a few bars, helping you avoid getting faked out by single-bar noise. The alerts are wired to those flip moments, so you can get notified when the market transitions from bearish to bullish (or vice versa) according to this MACD-based regime logic.
Sector Rotation - Risk Preference Indicator# Sector Rotation - Risk Preference Indicator
## Overview
This indicator measures market risk appetite by comparing the relative strength between **Aggressive** and **Defensive** sectors. It provides a clean, single-line visualization to help traders identify market sentiment shifts and potential trend reversals.
## How It Works
The indicator calculates a **Bullish/Bearish Ratio** by dividing the average price of aggressive sector ETFs by defensive sector ETFs, then normalizing to a baseline of 100.
**Formula:**
- Ratio = (Aggressive Sectors Average / Defensive Sectors Average) × 100
**Interpretation:**
- **Ratio > 100**: Risk-on sentiment (Aggressive sectors outperforming Defensive)
- **Ratio < 100**: Risk-off sentiment (Defensive sectors outperforming Aggressive)
- **Ratio ≈ 100**: Neutral (Both sector groups performing equally)
## Default Sectors
**Defensive Sectors** (Safe havens during uncertainty):
- XLP - Consumer Staples Select Sector SPDR Fund
- XLU - Utilities Select Sector SPDR Fund
- XLV - Health Care Select Sector SPDR Fund
**Aggressive Sectors** (Growth-oriented, higher risk):
- XLK - Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund
- XBI - SPDR S&P Biotech ETF
- XRT - SPDR S&P Retail ETF
## Features
✅ **Fully Customizable Sectors** - Choose any ETFs/tickers for each sector group
✅ **Smoothing Control** - Adjustable SMA period to reduce noise (default: 2)
✅ **Clean Visualization** - Single blue line for easy interpretation
✅ **Multi-timeframe Support** - Works on any timeframe
✅ **Lightweight** - Minimal calculations for fast performance
## Settings
### Defensive Sectors Group
- **Defensive Sector 1**: First defensive ETF ticker (default: XLP)
- **Defensive Sector 2**: Second defensive ETF ticker (default: XLU)
- **Defensive Sector 3**: Third defensive ETF ticker (default: XLV)
### Aggressive Sectors Group
- **Aggressive Sector 1**: First aggressive ETF ticker (default: XLK)
- **Aggressive Sector 2**: Second aggressive ETF ticker (default: XBI)
- **Aggressive Sector 3**: Third aggressive ETF ticker (default: XRT)
### Display Settings
- **Smoothing Length**: SMA period for ratio smoothing (default: 2, range: 1-50)
- Lower values = More responsive but noisier
- Higher values = Smoother but more lagging
## Use Cases
### 1. Market Regime Identification
- **Rising Ratio (trending up)** → Bull market / Risk-on environment
- Aggressive sectors leading, investors chasing growth
- Favorable for long positions in tech, growth stocks
- **Falling Ratio (trending down)** → Bear market / Risk-off environment
- Defensive sectors leading, investors seeking safety
- Consider defensive positioning or short opportunities
### 2. Divergence Analysis
- **Bullish Divergence**: Price makes new lows but ratio rises
- Suggests underlying strength returning
- Potential market bottom forming
- **Bearish Divergence**: Price makes new highs but ratio falls
- Suggests weakening momentum
- Potential market top forming
### 3. Trend Confirmation
- **Strong uptrend + Rising ratio** → Confirmed bullish trend
- **Strong downtrend + Falling ratio** → Confirmed bearish trend
- **Uptrend + Falling ratio** → Weakening trend, watch for reversal
- **Downtrend + Rising ratio** → Potential trend exhaustion
## Best Practices
⚠️ **Timeframe Selection**
- Recommended: Daily, 4H, 1H for cleaner signals
- Lower timeframes (15m, 5m) may produce noisy signals
⚠️ **Complementary Analysis**
- Use alongside price action and volume analysis
- Combine with support/resistance levels
- Not designed as a standalone trading system
⚠️ **Market Conditions**
- Most effective in trending markets
- Less reliable during ranging/consolidation periods
- Works best in liquid, well-traded sectors
⚠️ **Customization Tips**
- Can substitute with international sectors (EWU, EWZ, etc.)
- Can use crypto sectors (DeFi vs Layer1, etc.)
- Adjust smoothing based on trading style (day trading = 2-5, swing = 10-20)
## Display Options
### Default View (overlay=false)
- Shows in separate pane below chart
- Dedicated scale for ratio values
### Alternative View
- Can be moved to main chart pane (drag indicator)
I typically overlay this indicator on the SPY daily chart to observe divergences. I don’t focus on specific values but rather on the direction of the trend.

Trendshift [CHE] StrategyTrendshift Strategy — First-Shift Structural Regime Trading
Profitfactor 2,603
Summary
Trendshift Strategy implements a structural regime-shift trading model built around the earliest confirmed change in directional structure. It identifies major swing highs and lows, validates breakouts through optional ATR-based conviction, and reacts only to the first confirmed shift in each direction. After a regime reversal, the strategy constructs a premium and discount band between the breakout candle and the previous opposite swing. This band is used as contextual bias and may optionally inform stop placement and position sizing.
The strategy focuses on clear, interpretable structural events rather than continuous signal generation. By limiting entries to the first valid shift, it reduces false recycles and allows the structural state to stabilize before a new trade occurs. All signals operate on closed-bar logic, and the strategy avoids higher-timeframe calls to stabilize execution behavior.
Motivation: Why this design?
Many structure-based systems repeatedly trigger as price fluctuates around prior highs and lows. This often leads to multiple flips during volatile or choppy conditions. Trendshift Strategy addresses this problem by restricting execution to the first confirmed structural event in each direction. ATR-based filters help differentiate genuine structural breaks from noise, while the contextual band ensures that the breakout is meaningful in relation to recent volatility.
The design aims to represent a minimalistic structural trading framework focused on regime turns rather than continuous trend signaling. This reduces chart noise and clarifies where the market transitions from one regime to another.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
Baseline reference
Typical swing-based structure indicators report every break above or below recent swing points.
Architecture differences
First-shift-only regime logic that blocks repeated signals until direction reverses
ATR-filtered validation to avoid weak or momentum-less breaks
Premium and discount bands derived from breakout structure
Optional band-driven stop placement
Optional band-dependent position-sizing factor
Regime timeout system to neutralize structure after extended inactivity
Persistent-state architecture to prevent re-triggering
Practical effect
Only the earliest actionable structure change is traded
Fewer but higher-quality signals
Premium/discount tint assists contextual evaluation
Stops and sizing can be aligned with structural context rather than arbitrary volatility measures
Improved chart interpretability due to reduced marker frequency
How it works (technical)
The algorithm evaluates symmetric swing points using a fixed bar window. When a swing forms, its value and bar index are stored as persistent state. A structural shift occurs when price closes beyond the most recent major swing on the opposite side. If ATR filtering is enabled, the breakout must exceed a volatility-scaled distance to prevent micro-breaks from firing.
Once a valid shift is confirmed, the regime is updated to bullish or bearish. The script records the breakout level, the opposite swing, and derives a band between them. This band is checked for minimum size relative to ATR to avoid unrealistic contexts.
The first shift in a new direction generates both the strategy entry and a visual marker. Additional shifts in the same direction are suppressed until a reversal occurs. If a timeout is enabled, the regime resets after a specified number of bars without structural change, optionally clearing the band.
Stop placement, if enabled, uses either the opposite or same band edge depending on configuration. Position size is computed from account percentage and may optionally scale with the price-span-to-ATR relationship.
Parameter Guide
Market Structure
Swing length (default 5): Controls swing sensitivity. Lower values increase responsiveness.
Use ATR filter (default true): Requires breakouts to show momentum relative to ATR. Reduces false shifts.
ATR length (default 14): Volatility estimation for breakout and band validation.
Break ATR multiplier (default 1.0): Required breakout strength relative to ATR.
Premium/Discount Framework
Enable framework (default true): Activates premium/discount evaluation.
Persist band on timeout (default true): Keeps structural band after timeout.
Min band ATR mult (default 0.5): Rejects narrow bands.
Regime timeout bars (default 500): Neutralizes regime after inactivity.
Invert colors (default false): Color scheme toggle.
Visuals
Show zone tint (default true): Background shade in premium or discount region.
Show shift markers (default true): Display first-shift markers.
Execution and Risk
Risk per trade percent (default 1.0): Determines position size as account percentage.
Use band for size (default false): Scales size relative to band width behavior.
Flat on opposite shift (default true): Forces reversal behavior.
Use stop at band (default false): Stop anchored to band edges.
Stop band side: Chooses which band edge is used for stop generation.
Reading & Interpretation
A green background indicates discount conditions within the structural band; red indicates premium conditions. A green triangle below price marks the first bullish structural shift after a bearish regime. A red triangle above price marks the first bearish structural shift after a bullish regime.
When stops are active, the opposite band edge typically defines the protective level. Band width relative to ATR indicates how significant a structural change is: wider bands imply stronger volatility structure, while narrow bands may be suppressed by the minimum-size filter.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
Trend following: Use first-shift entries as initial regime confirmation. Add higher-timeframe trend filters for additional context.
Swing trading: Combine with simple liquidity or fair-value-gap concepts to refine entries.
Bias mapping: Use higher timeframes for structural regime and lower timeframes for execution within the premium/discount context.
Exit management: When using stops, consider ATR-scaling or multi-stage profit targets. When not using stops, reversals become the primary exit.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
The strategy uses only confirmed swings and closed-bar logic, avoiding intrabar repaint. Pivot-based swings inherently appear after the pivot window completes, which is standard behavior. No higher-timeframe calls are used, preventing HTF-related repaint issues.
Persistent variables track regime and structural levels, minimizing recomputation. The maximum bars back setting is five-thousand. The design avoids loops and arrays, keeping performance stable.
Known limitations include limited signal density during consolidations, delayed swing confirmation, and sensitivity to extreme gaps that stretch band logic. ATR filtering mitigates some of these effects but does not eliminate them entirely.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Fewer but stronger entries: Increase swing length or ATR breakout multiplier.
More responsive entries: Reduce swing length to capture earlier shifts.
More active band behavior: Lower the minimum band ATR threshold.
Stricter stop logic: Use the opposite band edge for stop placement.
Volatile markets: Increase ATR length slightly to stabilize behavior.
What this indicator is—and isn’t
Trendshift Strategy is a structural-regime trading engine that evaluates major directional shifts. It is not a complete trading system and does not include take-profit logic or prediction features. It does not attempt to forecast future price movement and should be used alongside broader market structure, volatility context, and disciplined risk management.

Every Hour 1st/Last FVG vTDL OVERVIEW - Shoutout to Micheal J. Huddleston aka ICT
This indicator identifies the first Fair Value Gap (FVG) that forms within each trading hour, providing traders with potential entry zones, reversal points, and unmitigated gap targets. Based on the concept that the first presented FVG of each hour represents a significant price delivery array where institutional order flow occurred.
The indicator detects FVGs on a lower timeframe (1-minute default) and displays them as boxes on your chart, tracking which gaps get filled and which remain open as potential draw-on-liquidity targets.
WHAT IS A FAIR VALUE GAP
A Fair Value Gap is a 3-candle price pattern representing an imbalance between buyers and sellers:
Bullish FVG: Forms when candle 3's low is above candle 1's high, leaving a gap
Bearish FVG: Forms when candle 3's high is below candle 1's low, leaving a gap
These gaps often act as magnets for price, which tends to return and "fill" the imbalance before continuing. They function as dynamic support and resistance zones.
KEY FEATURES
Detection Types
FVG: Standard fair value gap detection with volume imbalance expansion
Suspension FVG Blocks: Requires outside prints on both sides for more refined signals
Hourly Display Modes
First Only: Shows whichever FVG appears first each hour (bullish or bearish)
Show Both: Shows first bullish AND first bearish FVG independently each hour
Last FVG Tracking
Optionally display the last FVG of each hour
Useful for comparing how the hour developed
Can extend into the next hour for continued tracking
Breakaway Gap Detection
Gaps not traded into during their formation hour extend forward

Touch Midpoint: Marks filled when price reaches the 50 percent level
Fill Completely: Marks filled when price fills the entire gap with visual progress
HOW TO USE
Entry Points
The first FVG of each hour provides potential entry zones based on price reaction:
When price returns to an FVG and shows rejection, enter in the direction of rejection
The gap zone represents where institutional orders likely reside
Use the boundaries of the gap for stop loss placement
A clean rejection of the zone confirms it as valid support or resistance
Reversal Points
Unmitigated gaps that extend beyond their formation hour are high-probability reaction zones:
Extended boxes with labels indicate unfilled gaps
When price finally reaches these zones, expect a reaction
The longer a gap remains unfilled, the stronger the expected response
These zones act as magnets drawing price back to them
Price Targets
Use unmitigated gaps as draw-on-liquidity targets:
Look for extended boxes above or below current price
Price tends to seek out and fill imbalances
The midpoint line often serves as a minimum target
Multiple unfilled gaps in one direction suggest strong momentum potential
FRAMING DIRECTIONAL BIAS
The first presented FVG of each hour acts as a support or resistance zone. The direction of the FVG itself does not determine bias - it is how price reacts to that FVG that reveals the true market intention.
Reading Price Reaction
Price respects a bullish FVG as support and bounces higher = bullish bias confirmed
Price respects a bearish FVG as resistance and rejects lower = bearish bias confirmed
Price fails to hold a bullish FVG and breaks through = potential inversion, look for shorts
Price fails to hold a bearish FVG and breaks through = potential inversion, look for longs
Inversion Fair Value Gaps (IFVG)
When price trades through an FVG and closes beyond it, that gap can invert its role:
A bullish FVG that fails becomes resistance - use it as a short entry zone
A bearish FVG that fails becomes support - use it as a long entry zone
The inversion signals a shift in control from one side to the other
Watch for price to retest the inverted gap before continuing
Support and Resistance Framework
Think of each hourly first FVG as a key level:
Price above the FVG: the gap acts as potential support
Price below the FVG: the gap acts as potential resistance
Watch how price behaves when it returns to the gap zone
A clean rejection confirms the level; a break through signals inversion
SHORT-TERM SCALPING APPLICATION
These FVGs provide scalping opportunities each hour:
Identify the first FVG of the hour as your key level
Wait for price to trade away from it and return
Observe the reaction at the gap zone
Enter in the direction of the reaction with tight risk
Target the next FVG, midpoint, or nearby liquidity
Trade Management
Use the opposite side of the FVG box as your stop loss zone
The midpoint of the gap often provides first target or decision point
Scale out at nearby unmitigated gaps or key levels
If the gap inverts, flip your bias and look for entries in the new direction
MULTI-HOUR CONTEXT
If price consistently respects FVGs as support across hours = uptrend context
If price consistently respects FVGs as resistance across hours = downtrend context
If FVGs keep inverting = choppy or transitional market
Use higher timeframe direction to filter which reactions to trade
Compare first and last FVG of each hour to see how momentum developed
SESSION FILTERING
The indicator automatically excludes unreliable periods:
4 PM to 5 PM New York time (market close hours 16-17)
Weekend closed periods (Saturday and Sunday before 6 PM)
All timestamps use New York timezone for consistency with futures market hours.

PRACTICAL TIPS
The first FVG of each hour is a hidden PD array - treat it as a significant level
Not every gap produces a tradeable reaction - wait for confirmation
Gaps that remain unfilled for multiple hours carry more weight
Use the Show Both mode to see both bullish and bearish opportunities each hour
When multiple gaps cluster in one zone, that area becomes even more significant
Inversions are powerful signals - a failed level often leads to acceleration
NOTES

Best used on intraday charts (1 minute to 15 minute) viewing 1 minute LTF gaps
Combine with higher timeframe analysis for confluence
These are probability zones, not guarantees - always use proper risk management
The indicator handles HTF to LTF data fetching automatically

Best Practices:✅ Wait for confirmation - Don't trade pattern alone, check context
✅ Combine patterns - Retest + Candlestick = 80%+ win rate
✅ Check trend - Bullish patterns in uptrend work best
✅ Volume matters - Larger patterns with volume = stronger
✅ Fresh retests - First retest after break = highest probability
✅ Use alerts - Set alerts for Engulfing, Retest, Morning/Evening Star
✅ Size matters - Bigger candles = stronger signals❌ Don't trade every pattern - Quality over quantity
❌ Don't ignore context - Hammer at resistance = weak signal
❌ Don't trade against trend - Bearish in strong uptrend = risky
❌ Don't skip stop loss - Always protect your trades
❌ Don't trade small patterns - Need clear, visible patterns
Z-EMA Fusion BandsDesigned with crypto markets in mind, particularly Bitcoin , it builds on the concept that the 1-Week 50 EMA often serves as a long-term bull/bear market threshold — an area where institutional bias, momentum shifts, and cyclical rotations tend to occur.
🔹 Core Components & Synergies:
1. 1W 50 EMA (Higher Timeframe)
- This EMA is calculated on a weekly timeframe, regardless of your current chart.
- In crypto, price above the 1W 50 EMA typically aligns with long-term bull market phases, while extended periods below can signify bearish macro structure.
- The slope of the EMA is also analyzed to add directional confidence to trend strength.
2. ±1 Standard Deviation Bands
- Surrounding the 50 EMA, these bands visualize normal price dispersion relative to trend.
- When price consistently hugs or breaks outside these bands, it often reflects market expansion, volatility events, or mean-reversion opportunity.
3. Z-Score Gradient Fill
- The area between the bands is filled using a Z-score-based gradient, which dynamically adjusts color based on how far price is from the EMA (in terms of standard deviations).
- Color shifts from aqua (near EMA) to fuchsia (far from EMA) help you spot price compression, equilibrium, or overextension at a glance.
- The fill also uses transparency scaling, making it fade as price stretches further, emphasizing the core structure.
4. Directional EMA Coloring
- The EMA line itself is colored based on:
- The slope of the EMA (rising/falling)
- Whether the HTF candle is bullish or bearish
- This provides intuitive color-coded confirmation of momentum alignment or potential exhaustion.
5. Price/EMA Divergence Detection
- The script detects bullish and bearish divergence between price and the EMA (rather than using a traditional oscillator).
- Bullish Divergence: Price makes a lower low, EMA makes a higher low.
- Bearish Divergence: Price makes a higher high, EMA makes a lower high.
- These signals often mark transitional zones where momentum fades before a trend reversal or correction.
📊 Suggested Uses:
🔸 Swing and Position Trading:
- Use the 1W 50 EMA as a macro-trend anchor.
- Stay long-biased when price is above with positive slope, and short-biased when below.
- Consider entries near band edges for mean-reversion plays, especially if confluence forms with divergence signals.
🔸 Volatility-Based Filtering:
- Use the Z-score fill to identify volatility compression (near EMA) or expansion (edge of bands).
- Combine this with breakout strategies or dynamic position sizing.
🔸 Divergence Confirmation:
- Combine divergence markers with HTF EMA slope for high-probability setups.
- Bullish div + EMA flattening/rising can signal the start of accumulation after a macro dip.
🔸 Multi-Timeframe Analysis:
- Works well as a structural overlay on intraday charts (1H, 4H, 1D).
- Use this indicator to track long-term bias while executing lower timeframe trades.

Session Markers - JDK AnalysisSession Markers is a tool designed to study how markets behave during specific, recurring time windows. Many traders know that price behaves differently depending on the day of the week, the time of the day, or particular market sessions such as the weekly open, the London session, or the New York open. This indicator makes those recurring windows visible on the chart and then analyzes what price typically does inside them. The result is a clear statistical understanding of how a chosen session behaves, both in direction and in strength.
The script works by allowing the trader to define any time window using a start day and time and an end day and time. Every time this window occurs on the chart, the indicator highlights it with a full-height vertical band. These visual markers reveal patterns that are otherwise difficult to detect manually, such as whether certain sessions tend to trend, reverse, consolidate, or create large imbalances. They also help the trader quickly scan through historical price action to see how the market has behaved under similar conditions.
For every completed session window, the indicator measures how much price changed from the moment the window began to the moment it ended. Instead of using raw price differences, it converts these changes into percentage moves. This makes the measurement consistent across different price ranges and market regimes. A one-percent move always has the same meaning, whether the asset is trading at 100 or 50,000. These percentage moves are collected for a user-selected number of past sessions, creating a dataset of how the market has behaved in the chosen time window.
Based on this dataset, the indicator generates several statistics. It counts how many past sessions closed higher and how many closed lower, producing a directional tendency. It also computes the probability of an upward session by dividing the number of positive sessions by the total. More importantly, it calculates the average percentage movement for all sessions in the lookback period. This average move reflects not just the direction but also the magnitude of price changes. A session with frequent small upward moves but occasional large downward moves will show a negative average movement, even if more sessions ended positive. This creates a more realistic representation of true market behavior.
Using this average movement, the script determines a “Bias” for the session. If the average percentage move is positive, the bias is considered bullish. If it is negative, the bias is bearish. If the values are very close to zero, the bias is neutral. This way, the indicator takes both frequency and impact into account, producing a magnitude-aware assessment instead of one that only counts wins and losses. A sequence such as +5%, –1% results in a bullish bias because the overall impact is strongly positive. On the other hand, a series of small gains followed by a large drop produces a bearish bias even if more sessions ended positive, because the large move dominates the average. This provides a far more truthful picture of what the market tends to do during the chosen window.
All relevant statistics are displayed neatly in a small panel in the top-right corner of the chart. The panel updates in real time as new sessions complete and older ones fall out of the lookback range. It shows how many sessions were analyzed, how many ended up or down, the probability of an upward move, the average percentage change, and the final bias. The background color of the panel instantly reflects that bias, making it easy to interpret at a glance.
To use the tool effectively, the trader simply needs to define a time window of interest. This could be something like the weekly opening window from Sunday to Monday, the London open each day, or even a unique custom window. After selecting how many past sessions to analyze, the indicator takes care of the rest. The vertical session markers reveal the structure visually. The statistics summarize the historical behavior objectively. The magnitude-weighted bias provides a realistic indication of whether the window tends to produce upward or downward movement on average.
Session Markers is helpful because it translates repeated market timing behavior into measurable data. It exposes hidden tendencies that are easy to feel intuitively but hard to quantify manually. By analyzing both direction and magnitude, it prevents misleading interpretations that can arise from looking only at win rates. It helps traders understand whether a session typically produces meaningful moves or just small noise, whether it tends to trend or reverse, and whether its behavior has recently changed. Whether used for bias building, session filtering, or deeper market research, it offers a structured framework for understanding the market through time-based patterns.
Money Flow Matrix This comprehensive indicator is a multi-faceted momentum and volume oscillator designed to identify trend strength, potential reversals, and market confluence. It combines a volume-weighted RSI (Money Flow) with a double-smoothed momentum oscillator (Hyper Wave) to filter out noise and provide high-probability signals.
Core Components
1. Money Flow (The Columns) This is the backbone of the indicator. It calculates a normalized RSI and weights it by relative volume.
Green Columns: Positive money flow (Buying pressure).
Red Columns: Negative money flow (Selling pressure).
Neon Colors (Overflow): When the columns turn bright Neon Green or Neon Red, the Money Flow has breached the dynamic Bollinger Band thresholds. This indicates an extreme overbought or oversold condition, suggesting a potential climax in the current move.
2. Hyper Wave (The Line) This is a double-smoothed Exponential Moving Average (EMA) derived from price changes. It acts as the "signal line" for the system. It is smoother than standard RSI or MACD, reducing false signals during choppy markets.
Green Line: Momentum is increasing.
Red Line: Momentum is decreasing.
3. Confluence Zones (Background) The background color changes based on the agreement between Money Flow and Hyper Wave.
Green Background: Both Money Flow and Hyper Wave are bullish. This represents a high-probability long environment.
Red Background: Both Money Flow and Hyper Wave are bearish. This represents a high-probability short environment.
Signal Guide
The Matrix provides three tiers of signals, ranging from early warnings to confirmation entries.
1. Warning Dots (Circles) These appear when the Hyper Wave crosses specific internal levels (-30/30).
Green Dot: Early warning of a bullish rotation.
Red Dot: Early warning of a bearish rotation.
Usage: These are not immediate entry signals but warnings to tighten stop-losses or prepare for a reversal.
2. Major Crosses (Triangles) These occur when Money Flow crosses the zero line, confirmed by momentum direction.
Green Triangle Up: Major Buy Signal (Money Flow crosses above 0).
Red Triangle Down: Major Sell Signal (Money Flow crosses below 0).
Usage: These are the primary trend-following entry signals.
3. Divergences (Labels "R" and "H") The script automatically detects discrepancies between Price action and the Hyper Wave oscillator.
"R" (Regular Divergence): Indicates a potential Reversal.
Bullish R: Price makes a lower low, but Oscillator makes a higher low.
Bearish R: Price makes a higher high, but Oscillator makes a lower high.
"H" (Hidden Divergence): Indicates a potential Trend Continuation.
Bullish H: Price makes a higher low, but Oscillator makes a lower low.
Bearish H: Price makes a lower high, but Oscillator makes a higher high.
Dashboard (Confluence Meter)
Located in the bottom right of the chart, the dashboard provides a snapshot of the current candle's status. It calculates a score based on three factors:
Is Money Flow positive?
Is Hyper Wave positive?
Is Hyper Wave trending up?
Readings:
STRONG BUY: All metrics are bullish.
WEAK BUY: Mixed metrics, but leaning bullish.
NEUTRAL: Metrics are conflicting.
WEAK/STRONG SELL: Bearish equivalents of the buy signals.
Trading Strategies
Strategy A: The Trend Rider
Entry: Wait for a Green Triangle (Major Buy).
Confirmation: Ensure the Background is highlighted Green (Confluence).
Exit: Exit when the background turns off or a Red Warning Dot appears.
Strategy B: The Reversal Catch
Setup: Look for a Neon Red Column (Overflow/Oversold).
Trigger: Wait for a Green "R" Label (Regular Bullish Divergence) or a Green Warning Dot.
Confirmation: Wait for the Hyper Wave line to turn green.
Strategy C: The Pullback (Continuation)
Context: The market is in a strong trend (Green Background).
Trigger: Price pulls back, but a Green "H" Label (Hidden Bullish Divergence) appears.
Action: Enter in the direction of the original trend.
Settings Configuration
The code includes tooltips for all inputs to assist with configuration.
Money Flow Length: Adjusts the sensitivity of the volume calculation. Lower numbers are faster but noisier; higher numbers are smoother.
Threshold Multiplier: Controls the "Neon" overflow bars. Increasing this (e.g., to 2.5 or 3.0) will result in fewer, more extreme signals.
Divergence Lookback: Determines how many candles back the script looks to identify pivots. Increase this number to find larger, macro divergences.

Liquidity Trend & Squeeze RadarThe Liquidity Trend & Squeeze Radar is a comprehensive trading system designed to visualize the three most critical components of price action: Trend, Volatility, and Momentum. The core philosophy of this tool is to identify periods of market "compression" (low volatility), where energy builds up, and then signal when that energy is released (expansion) for a potential breakout trade. It combines an EMA Cloud for trend direction with a TTM-style Squeeze indicator and a linear regression momentum filter.
Key Components
Trend Cloud (Structure) This component identifies the overall market bias. It uses a Fast EMA and a Slow EMA to create a shaded "Cloud."
Uptrend: The Fast EMA is above the Slow EMA. The Cloud is shaded green (default).
Downtrend: The Fast EMA is below the Slow EMA. The Cloud is shaded red (default).
Usage: Generally, traders should look to take Long signals only when the Trend Cloud is bullish and Short signals when the Trend Cloud is bearish.
Volatility Radar (The Squeeze) This logic detects when the market enters a period of low volatility. It calculates this by comparing Bollinger Bands (Expansion) against Keltner Channels (Average Range).
Squeeze Active: When the Bollinger Bands narrow and go inside the Keltner Channels, a "Squeeze" is active. This is represented by gray dots plotted along the Fast EMA and gray-colored price candles.
Usage: Do not trade during a Squeeze. This indicates indecision and chop. Treat this as a "Wait" signal while potential energy builds.
Momentum Filter (Hidden Logic) While the Squeeze is active, the script calculates the underlying momentum using Linear Regression. This predicts the likely direction of the breakout before it happens. This data is displayed in the Dashboard.
Breakout Signals (Fire) When the Squeeze condition ends (volatility expands), the script checks the Momentum filter.
Bullish Breakout: If the Squeeze ends and Momentum is positive, a triangle pointing up is plotted below the bar.
Bearish Breakout: If the Squeeze ends and Momentum is negative, a triangle pointing down is plotted above the bar.
Status Dashboard A table located in the top-right corner provides a real-time summary of the market state without needing to interpret the chart visuals manually. It lists the current Trend direction, Volatility state (Squeeze vs. Expansion), and Momentum value (Positive vs. Negative).
How to Trade This Indicator
Step 1: Identify the Trend Observe the background Cloud. Ensure you are trading in the direction of the dominant flow. If the Cloud is green, favor Longs. If red, favor Shorts.
Step 2: Wait for the Squeeze Look for the gray dots to appear on the moving average line and for the candles to turn gray. This indicates the market is resting and building energy. During this phase, you are stalking the trade. Avoid entering positions while the gray dots remain visible.
Step 3: The Breakout (The Trigger) Wait for the gray dots to disappear. This means the Squeeze has "Fired."
Long Entry: Look for a Triangle Up signal. Ideally, this should occur when the Trend Cloud is green.
Short Entry: Look for a Triangle Down signal. Ideally, this should occur when the Trend Cloud is red.
Step 4: Confirmation Check the Dashboard table. High-probability trades occur when all three metrics align (e.g., Trend is BULL, Volatility is EXPANSION, and Momentum is POSITIVE).
Settings Guide
Trend Structure:
Fast/Slow EMA Length: Adjusts the sensitivity of the Trend Cloud. Higher numbers effectively smooth out noise but react slower to trend changes.
Show Trend Cloud: Toggles the shaded area between EMAs on or off.
Volatility Radar:
Bollinger/Keltner Settings: These define the Squeeze sensitivity.
Keltner Mult: The most important setting. The default is 1.5. Lowering this to 1.0 will make the Squeeze harder to trigger (requiring extreme compression), leading to fewer but potentially more explosive signals.
Momentum:
Momentum Length: The lookback period for the linear regression calculation used to determine breakout direction.
Visuals:
Colorize Candles: Paints the price bars based on the current state (Gray for Squeeze, Green/Red for Trend).
Show Dashboard: Toggles the visibility of the data table.

DarkPool's Squeeze Momentum @author LazyBearDarkPool's Squeeze Momentum Pro is a comprehensive overhaul of the classic volatility indicator, designed for the modern trader who requires deeper market insight. While staying true to the core logic of the original TTM Squeeze, this version introduces advanced features like automatic divergence detection, dynamic moving average selection, and main-chart integration to help you time entries and exits with precision.
Credit: This script is built upon the foundational "Squeeze Momentum Indicator" originally developed by LazyBear. This version expands on that legacy with enhanced visualization, alert systems, and divergence logic.
Key Features
1. Advanced Divergence Detection
The indicator automatically scans for Regular Bullish and Regular Bearish divergences between price action and momentum.
Bullish Divergence (Green "BULL" Label): Occurs when Price makes a Lower Low, but Momentum makes a Higher Low. This often precedes a bullish reversal.
Bearish Divergence (Red "BEAR" Label): Occurs when Price makes a Higher High, but Momentum makes a Lower High. This often precedes a bearish reversal.
2. Multi-Mode Squeeze Detection
The central dots on the zero line tell you the state of market volatility:
Red Dot (Squeeze ON): Volatility is compressed. The Bollinger Bands are inside the Keltner Channels. The market is "coiling" and preparing for an explosive move. Do not trade yet—wait for the fire.
Grey Dot (Squeeze OFF): The squeeze has "fired." Volatility is expanding, and price is moving.
Blue Dot (Wide Bands): Volatility is extremely high. The bands are exceptionally wide, often indicating the end of a trend or a period of high risk.
3. "Ghost" Histogram & Visual Depth
The momentum histogram features a "Ghost" fill (transparent background) to help visualize the volume of momentum without cluttering the screen.
Bright Green: Strong Bullish Momentum (Rising).
Dark Green: Weakening Bullish Momentum (Fading).
Bright Red: Strong Bearish Momentum (Falling).
Dark Red: Weakening Bearish Momentum (Recovering).
4. Dynamic Candle Coloring
Enabled by default, this feature colors the candles on your main chart to match the momentum histogram. This allows you to instantly gauge the trend strength without looking down at the oscillator pane.
5. Adaptive Calculation Engines
Unlike standard versions fixed to SMA, you can now select the moving average algorithm that drives the Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels:
SMA: Standard, stable signals.
EMA: More reactive to recent price action.
WMA/RMA: Weighted options for specific strategies.
🛠 How to Operate
The "Squeeze & Fire" Strategy
Identify the Squeeze: Look for a series of Red Dots on the zero line. This indicates the market is resting and building energy.
The Trigger: Wait for the dot to turn Gray AND for the histogram to expand clearly in one direction.
Long Signal: Squeeze fires (Red -> Gray) + Histogram turns Green.
Short Signal: Squeeze fires (Red -> Gray) + Histogram turns Red.
The "Divergence Reversal" Strategy
Watch for "BULL" or "BEAR" labels appearing near the peaks or valleys of the histogram.
Confirmation: A divergence is a warning. Wait for the histogram color to change (e.g., from Bright Red to Dark Red) before entering a reversal trade.
⚙️ Settings Guide
Basis MA Type: Choose between SMA, EMA, WMA, or RMA to tune the sensitivity of the squeeze.
BB/KC Settings: Fully customizable Length and Multipliers to adapt to different assets (Crypto, Forex, or Stocks).
Pivot Lookback: Controls how strict the divergence detection is. Higher numbers = fewer, more significant signals.
Colour Main Chart Candles: Toggle this OFF if you prefer your standard candle colours.
