Contrarian 100 MAPairs nicely with Enhanced-Stock-Ticker-with-50MA-vs-200MA located here:
Description
The Contrarian 100 MA is a sophisticated Pine Script v6 indicator designed for traders seeking to identify key market structure shifts and trend reversals using a combination of a 100-period Simple Moving Average (SMA) envelope and Inner Circle Trader (ICT) Break of Structure (BoS) and Market Structure Shift (MSS) logic. By overlaying a semi-transparent SMA-based shadow on the price chart and plotting bullish and bearish structure signals, this indicator helps traders visualize critical price levels and potential trend changes. It leverages higher timeframe (HTF) pivot points and dynamic logic to adapt to various chart timeframes, making it ideal for swing and contrarian trading strategies. Customizable colors, timeframes, and alert conditions enhance its versatility for manual and automated trading setups.
Key Features
SMA Envelope: Plots a 100-period SMA for high and low prices, creating a semi-transparent (50% opacity) purple shadow to highlight the price range and provide context for price movements.
ICT BoS/MSS Logic: Identifies Break of Structure (BoS) and Market Structure Shift (MSS) signals for both bullish and bearish conditions, based on HTF pivot points.
Dynamic Timeframe Support: Adjusts pivot detection based on user-selected HTF (default: 1D) and chart timeframe (1M, 5M, 15M, 30M, 1H, 4H, 1D), ensuring adaptability across markets.
Visual Signals: Draws dotted lines for BoS (bullish/bearish) and MSS (bullish/bearish) signals at pivot levels, with customizable colors for easy identification.
Contrarian Approach: Signals potential reversals by combining SMA context with ICT structure breaks, ideal for traders looking to capitalize on trend shifts.
Alert Conditions: Supports alerts for bullish/bearish BoS and MSS signals, enabling integration with TradingView’s alert system for automated trading.
Performance Optimization: Uses efficient pivot detection and line management to minimize resource usage while maintaining accuracy.
Technical Details
SMA Calculation:
Computes 100-period SMAs for high (smaHigh) and low (smaLow) prices.
Plots invisible SMAs (fully transparent) and fills the area between them with 50% transparent purple for visual context.
Pivot Detection:
Uses ta.pivothigh and ta.pivotlow to identify HTF swing points, with dynamic lookback periods (rlBars: 5 for daily, 2 for intraday).
Tracks pivot highs (pH, nPh) and lows (pL, nPl) using a custom piv type for price and time.
BoS/MSS Logic:
Bullish BoS: Triggered when price breaks above a pivot high in a bullish trend, drawing a line at the pivot level.
Bearish BoS: Triggered when price breaks below a pivot low in a bearish trend.
Bullish MSS: Occurs when price breaks a pivot high in a bearish trend, signaling a potential trend reversal.
Bearish MSS: Occurs when price breaks a pivot low in a bullish trend.
Lines are drawn using line.new with xloc.bar_time for precise alignment, styled as dotted with customizable colors.
HTF Integration: Fetches HTF close prices and pivot data using request.security with lookahead_on for accurate signal timing.
Line Management: Maintains an array of lines (lin), removing outdated lines when new MSS signals occur to keep the chart clean.
Pivot Reset: Clears broken pivots (e.g., when price exceeds a pivot high or falls below a pivot low) to ensure fresh signal generation.
How to Use
Add to Chart:
Copy the script into TradingView’s Pine Editor and apply it to your chart.
Configure Settings:
SMA Length: Adjust the SMA period (default: 100 bars) to suit your trading style.

Chart Timeframe: Select the chart timeframe (1M, 5M, 15M, 30M, 1H, 4H, 1D) to adjust pivot sensitivity.
Colors: Customize bullish/bearish BoS and MSS line colors via input settings.
Interpret Signals:
Bullish BoS: White dotted line (default) at a broken pivot high in a bullish trend, indicating trend continuation.
Bearish BoS: White dotted line at a broken pivot low in a bearish trend.
Bullish MSS: White dotted line at a broken pivot high in a bearish trend, suggesting a reversal to bullish.
Bearish MSS: White dotted line at a broken pivot low in a bullish trend, suggesting a reversal to bearish.
Use the SMA shadow to gauge price position within the recent range.
Set Alerts:
Create alerts for bullish/bearish BoS and MSS signals using TradingView’s alert system.
Customize Visuals:
Adjust line colors or SMA fill transparency via TradingView’s settings for better visibility.
Example Use Cases
Swing Trading: Use MSS signals to enter trades at potential trend reversals, with the SMA envelope confirming price extremes.
Contrarian Trading: Capitalize on BoS and MSS signals to trade against prevailing trends, using the SMA shadow for context.
Automated Trading: Integrate BoS/MSS alerts with trading bots for systematic entries and exits.
Multi-Timeframe Analysis: Combine HTF signals (e.g., 1D) with lower timeframe charts (e.g., 1H) for precise entries.
Notes
Testing: Backtest the indicator on your chosen market and timeframe to validate performance.
Compatibility: Built for Pine Script v6 and tested on TradingView as of June 19, 2025.

Modified Fractal Open/CloseModified Fractal (Open/Close Based) - Indicator
The Modified Fractal (Open/Close Based) indicator offers a new way to detect fractal patterns on your chart by analyzing the open and close prices instead of the traditional high and low values.
🧮 How it works:
The indicator evaluates a group of 5 consecutive candles.
The central candle (2 bars ago) is analyzed.
For a Bullish Fractal:
The open or close of the central candle must be lower than the open and close of the other 4 surrounding candles.
For a Bearish Fractal:
The open or close of the central candle must be higher than the open and close of the other 4 surrounding candles.
Once a valid pattern is detected, a visual symbol (triangle) is plotted directly on the chart and an alert can be triggered.
✅ Key Features:
Non-repainting signals (evaluated after candle close)
Fully mechanical detection logic
Easy-to-use visual signals
Alert conditions ready to be integrated into TradingView’s alert system
Suitable for multiple timeframes (can be used from M1 to Daily and beyond)
🎯 Use case:
This modified fractal approach can help traders:
Spot potential swing points
Identify possible reversals
Confirm price exhaustion zones
Support breakout or mean reversion strategies
⚠ Note:
This indicator does not provide trade signals by itself. It is recommended to be combined with additional tools, price action analysis, or risk management rules.
ADR % RangesThis indicator is designed to visually represent percentage lines from the open of the day. The % amount is determined by X amount of the last days to create an average...or Average Daily Range (ADR).
1. ADR Percentage Lines: The core function of the script is to apply lines to the chart that represent specific percentage changes from the daily open. It first calculates the average over X amount of days and then displays two lines that are 1/3rd of that average. One line goes above the other line goes below. The other two lines are the full "range" of the average. These lines can act as boundaries or targets to know how an asset has moved recently. *Past performance is not indicative of current or future results.
The calculation for ADR is:
Step 1. Calculate Today's Range = DailyHigh - DailyLow
Step 2. Store this average after the day has completed
Step 3. Sum all day's ranges
Step 4. Divide by total number of days
Step 5. Draw on chart
2. Customizable Inputs: Users have the flexibility to customize the script through various inputs. This includes the option to display lines only for the current trading day (`todayonly`), and to select which lines are displayed. The user can also opt to show a table the displays the total range of previous days and the average range of those previous days.
3. No Secondary Timeframe: The ADR is computed based on whatever timeframe the chart is and does not reference secondary periods. Therefore the script cannot be used on charts greater than daily.
This script is can be used by all traders for any market. The trader might have to adjust the "X" number of days back to compute a historical average. Maybe they only want to know the average over the past week (5 days) or maybe the past month (20 days).

Humble Student OB/OS Trifecta indicatorAfter reading Cam Hui's blog post about his "Trifecta" bottom spotting model I thought I'd try my hand at scripting it as an indicator. The results are pretty close to what he describes. Though the data TradingView feeds me doesn't seem to be identical to what he's using on StockCharts.com the results are close enough that I will call the effort a success worth publishing.
BTC Backwardation SearcherThis Pine Script code is a custom indicator named "BTC Backwardation Searcher" designed for the TradingView platform. The indicator aims to identify and visualize the price difference between two Bitcoin futures contracts: CME:BTC1! and CME:BTC2!.
Here's a breakdown of the code:
1. The script fetches the daily close prices of CME:BTC1! and CME:BTC2! using the security() function.
2. It calculates the percentage price difference between the two contracts using the formula: (btc1Price - btc2Price) / btc2Price * 100.
3. The script also calculates the price difference for the previous two days (2 days ago and 3 days ago) using the same formula.
4. Two conditions are defined:
(1) dailyGreenCondition: If the price difference is greater than or equal to 0.3% for three
consecutive days, including the current day and the previous two days.
(2) dailyRedCondition(commented): If the price difference is less than or equal to -1% for three consecutive days, including the current day and the previous two days.
(I commented it out because I don't think it's useful.)
5. The plotshape() function is used to display green triangles on the chart when the dailyGreenCondition is met, and red triangles when the dailyRedCondition is met. These triangles are displayed on the daily, weekly, and monthly timeframes.
The purpose of this indicator is to help traders identify potential trading opportunities based on the price difference between the two Bitcoin futures contracts. The green triangles suggest a bullish scenario where CME:BTC1! is significantly higher than CME:BTC2!, while the red triangles indicate a bearish scenario where CME:BTC2! is significantly lower than CME:BTC1!.
However, it's important to note that this indicator should be used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and fundamental analysis. Traders should also consider their risk tolerance, investment goals, and market conditions before making any trading decisions based on this indicator.

9. dailyminutesfromSource: Calculation for the daily minutes from the source
10. anyminSrcArray: Request security lower timeframe array for the source
11. ltf (lower timeframe): Integer variable for tracking the lower timeframe
12. Sourcevalue: Float variable for storing the source value
13. linetimeExt: Integer variable for line extension (calculated from linetimeExtMulti)
Logic:
1. Check if the current time matches the input start time or is within the session
2. If true, plot a line and label with the source value and formatted time
3. If not, check if the current time is within the daily session and plot a line and label accordingly
Notes:
- The script uses request.security_lower_tf to request data from a lower timeframe
- The script uses line.new and label.new to plot lines and labels on the chart
- The script uses str.format_time to format timestamps as strings (HH:mm)
- The script uses xloc.bar_time to position lines and labels at the bar time
This script allows users to input a specific start time and display the price of a lower timeframe on a higher timeframe chart, with options for customizing the display name, label color, and line extension.

Ichimoku DoubleTF overlay
Hello guys, this code allow to overlay a second ichimoku over the first one loaded on the used time-frame.
It's simple.
Choose your preferred Time-frame.
Set the Time-frame for the second Ichimoku in the settings menu .
Now you can see two Ichimoku clouds based on two different time-frame.
It can be very usefull and more ordered of a multi-windows layout.
On second Ichimoku the Chikou-span is omitted 'cause i think that is useless and cumbersome.
To help to reading the graph i set two labels to identify the "2nds" tenkan and kijun.
Tell me if this script was useful and remember to follow me and adding a like.
Available combinations:
DAILY: WEEKLY AND MONTLY
4H: WEEKLY, DAILY
1H: WEEKLY, DAILY, 4H
30m: DAILY, 4H, 1H
15m: DAILY, 4H, 1H, 30m
5m: DAILY, 4H, 1H, 30m, 15m
3m: 1H, 30m, 15m
1m: 1H, 30m, 15m,5m,3min
Thanks, bhutano
*****************************************************************************************************
Ciao ragazzi, questo codice permette di sovrapporre un secondo Ichimoku a quello del time-frame utilizzato.
Scegliete il vostro time-frame preferito.
Impostate il time-frame del secondo Ichimoku dalle impostazioni dello script .
Adesso vedrete due Nuvole Ichimoku basati su due time-frame diversi.
Può essere davvero utile e più ordinato di un layout multi-window.
Sul secondo Ichimoku la Chickou è stata omessa perchè penso che sia inutile e ingombrante.
Per aiutare la lettura del grafico ho impostato due etichette per identificare le seconde tenkan e kijun.
Ditemi se questo script vi è stato utile e ricordatevi di seguirmi e aggiungere un mi piace.

SUPER EMA SMA 16x [GUSLM]█ Author's Note:
After extensively reviewing the EMA and SMA consolidation tools in the TradingView library, I found that none fully met my expectations or those of friends and colleagues. Some tools were too specific or not configurable enough, with varying sensitivities. Others lacked options or produced many invalid and incorrect ranges when viewed across different timeframes. Some were fixed in their options, others did not allow visualization on different timeframes or lacked crossover signals and customization options for turning each option on or off. Additionally, there was no custom function to view one or more configurable moving averages from different timeframes in the current view, serving as a time-saving shortcut to avoid switching between timeframes to record values. Consequently, I decided to develop my own tool. I hope that you, fellow traders, find it valuable and enjoy using it.
█ Description:
The GUSLM SUPER EMA SMA 16x allows traders to configure and visualize multiple labeled trendlines for various periods on a single chart, all at once. highlighting how prices move over time. It enables simultaneous display of trendlines for different timeframes, with customizable colors and thicknesses. Designed for traders who use moving averages in their strategies, it simplifies the analysis of key moving averages like the 200-period, 100 50 12 26 and 20-period etc, offering a clear, configurable tool to try to identify reactions, trends, supports, and resistances.. This indicator employs algorithms to detect and show signals where price movements are confined, all that can be usefull for helping traders spot potential breakout zones and make informed trading decisions.
█ Key Features:

█ How It Works:
► Range Detection: The indicator scans the charts in different timeframes of the same asset, based on options, and plot them on the actual view, even if they are from another timeframe. And label it based on configuration, telling wich one is from where as H 4h W etc, and its lenght and range. also for collors widths etc. It calculates the average or exponential average price from other timeframes, and plot it in the current view.
► Visualization: Validated ranges and lines are highlighted on the chart with colored optimized lines, providing a clear visual cue of potential zones.
█ Usage Examples:
► Example 1:
You can configure the ranges you want and timeframes you want and see how it interact with the prices. and can expect eventual future reactions.
█ Practical Applications:
► Identify and Confirm Breakout Zones: Use the lines to identify potential breakout zones and limits, Ex: if is there a key level above your breakout, you may expect a reaction, maybe changing your plan to make an entrance above the initial resistance, you can see eventual resistance and support zones. helping to anticipate significant price movements.
► Identify Key Price Levels: The tool helps in pointing key price levels where there is a high probability of significant price reactions, providing crucial insights for trading strategies.
► Enhance Technical Analysis: Integrate the SUPER EMA SMA 16x into your existing technical analysis toolkits to improve the accuracy of your trading decisions.
█ Conclusion:

While the SUPER EMA SMA 16x is a powerful tool to see many relevant SMAS and EMAS and signals, it's important to combine it with other indicators and analysis methods for comprehensive trading decisions. Always consider market context and external factors when interpreting detected consolidation ranges.
TrendPredator PROThe TrendPredator PRO
Stacey Burke, a seasoned trader and mentor, developed his trading system over the years, drawing insights from influential figures such as George Douglas Taylor, Tony Crabel, Steve Mauro, and Robert Schabacker. His popular system integrates select concepts from these experts into a consistent framework. While powerful, it remains highly discretionary, requiring significant real-time analysis, which can be challenging for novice traders.
The TrendPredator indicators support this approach by automating the essential analysis required to trade the system effectively and incorporating mechanical bias and a multi-timeframe concept. They provide value to traders by significantly reducing the time needed for session preparation, offering all relevant chart analysis and signals for live trading in real-time.
The PRO version offers an advanced pattern identification logic that highlights developing context as well as setups related to the constellation of the signals provided. It provides real-time interpretation of the multi-timeframe analysis table, following an extensive underlying logic with more than 150 different setup variations specifically developed for the system and indicator. These setups are constantly back- and forward-tested and updated according to the results. This version is tailored to traders primarily trading this system and following the related setups in detail.
The former TrendPredator ES version does not provide that option. It is significantly leaner and is designed for traders who want to use the multi-timeframe logic as additional confluence for their trading style. It is very well suited to support many other trading styles, including SMC and ICT.
The Multi-timeframe Master Pattern
Inspired by Taylor’s 3-day cycle and Steve Mauro’s work with “Beat the Market Maker,” Burke’s system views markets as cyclical, driven by the manipulative patterns of market makers. These patterns often trap traders at the extremes of moves above or below significant levels with peak formations, then reverse to utilize their liquidity, initiating the next phase. Breakouts away from these traps often lead to range expansions, as described by Tony Crabel and Robert Schabacker. After multiple consecutive breakouts, especially after the psychological number three, overextension might develop. A break in structure may then lead to reversals or pullbacks. The TrendPredator Indicator and the related multi-timeframe trading system are designed to track these cycles on the daily timeframe and provide signals and trade setups to navigate them.
Bias Logic and Multi-Timeframe Concept
The indicator covers the basic signals of Stacey Burke's system:
- First Red Day (FRD): Bearish break in structure, signalling weak longs in the market.
- First Green Day (FGD): Bullish break in structure signalling weak shorts in the markt.
- Three Days of Longs (3DL): Overextension signalling potential weak longs in the market.
- Three Days of Shorts (3DS): Overextension signalling potential weak shorts in the market.
- Inside Day (ID): Contraction, signalling potential impulsive reversal or range expansion move.
It enhances the original system by introducing:
Structured Bias Logic:
Tracks bias by following how price trades concerning the last previous candle high or low that was hit. For example if the high was hit, we are bullish above and bearish below.
- Bullish state: Breakout (BO), Fakeout Low (FOL)
- Bearish state: Breakdown (BD), Fakeout High (FOH)
Multi-Timeframe Perspective:
- Tracks all signals across H4, H8, D, W, and M timeframes, to look for alignment and follow trends and momentum in a mechanical way.
Developing Context:
- Identifies specific predefined context states based on the monthly, weekly and daily bias.
Developing Setups:
- Identifies specific predefined setups based on context and H8 bias as well as SB signals.
The indicator monitors the bias and signals of the system across all relevant timeframes and automates the related graphical chart analysis as well as context and setup zone identification. In addition to the master pattern, the system helps to identify the higher timeframe situation and follow the moves driven by other timeframe traders to then identify favourable context and setup situations for the trader.
Example: Full Bullish Cycle on the Daily Timeframe with Multi-Timeframe Signals
- The Trap/Peak Formation
The market breaks down from a previous day’s and maybe week’s low—potentially after multiple breakdowns—but fails to move lower and pulls back up to form a peak formation low and closes as a first green day.
MTF Signals: Bullish daily and weekly fakeout low; three consecutive breakdown days (1W Curr FOL, 1D Curr FOL, BO 3S).
Context: Reversal (REV)
Setup: Fakeout low continuation low of day (FOL Cont LOD)
- Pullback and Consolidation
The next day pulls further up after first green day signal, potentially consolidates inside the previous day’s range.
MTF Signals: Fakeout low and first green day closing as an inside day (1D Curr IS, Prev FOL, First G).
Context: Reversal continuation (REV Cont)
Setup: Previous fakeout low continuation low handing fruit (Prev FOL Cont LHF)
- Range Expansion/Trend
The following day breaks up through the previous day’s high, launching a range expansion away from the trap.
MTF Signals: Bullish daily breakout of an inside day (1D Curr BO, Prev IS).
Context: Uptrend healthy (UT)
Setup: Breakout continuation low hanging fruit (BO Cont LHF)
- Overextension
After multiple consecutive breakouts, the market reaches a state of overextension, signalling a possible reversal or pullback.
MTF Signals: Three days of breakout longs (1D Curr BO, Prev BO, BO 3L).
Context: Uptrend extended (UT)
- Reversal
After a breakout of previous days high that fails, price pulls away from the high showing a rollover of momentum across all timeframes and a potential short setup.
MTF Signals: Three days of breakout longs, daily fakeout high (1D 3L, FOH)
Context: Reversal countertrend (REV)
Setup: Fakeout high continuation high of day (FOH Cont HOD)
Note: This is only one possible illustrative scenario; there are many variations and combinations.

Context and Setups examples:
Note: The signals shown along the move are manually added illustrations. The indicator shows these in realtime in the table at top and bottom right. This is only one possible scenario; there are many variations and combinations.
Due to the fractal nature of markets, this cycle can be observed across all timeframes. The strongest setups occur when there is multi-timeframe alignment. For example, a peak formation and potential reversal on the daily timeframe have higher probability and follow-through when they align with bearish signals on higher timeframes (e.g., weekly/monthly BD/FOH) and confirmation on lower timeframes (H4/H8 FOH/BD). With this perspective, the system enables the trader to follow the trend and momentum while identifying rollover points in a highly differentiated and precise way.
Using the Indicator for Trading
The automated analysis provided by the indicator can be used for thesis generation in preparation for a session as well as for live trading, leveraging the real-time updates as well as the context and setup indicated or alerted. It is recommended to customize the settings deeply, such as hiding the lower timeframes for thesis generation or the specific alert time window and settings to the specific trading schedule and playbook of the trader.
1. Context Assessment:
Evaluate alignment of higher timeframes (e.g., Month/Week, Week/Day). More alignment → Stronger setups.
- The context table offers an interpretation of the higher timeframe automatically. See below for further details.
2. Setup Identification:
Follow the bias of daily and H8 timeframes. A setup mostly requires alignment of these.
Setup Types:
- Trend Trade: Trade in alignment with the previous day’s trend.
Example: Price above the previous day’s high → Focus on long setups (dBO, H8 FOL) until overextension or reversal signs appear (H8 BO 3L, First R).
- Reversal Trade: Identify reversal setups when lower timeframes show rollovers after higher timeframe weakness.
Example: Price below the previous day’s high → Look for reversal signals at the current high of day (H8 FOH, BO 3L, First R).
- The setup table shows potential setups for the specific price zone in the table automatically. See below for further details.
3. Entry Confirmation:
Confirm entries based on H8 and H4 alignment, candle closes and lower timeframe fakeouts.
- H8 and H4 should always align for a final confirmation, meaning the breach lines should be both in the back of a potential trade setup.
- M15/ 5 candle close can be seen as acceptance beyond a level or within the setup zone.
- M15/5 FOH/ FOL signals lower timeframe traps potentially indicating further confirmation.
Example Chart Reversal Trade:
Context: REV (yellow), Reversal counter trend, Month in FOL with bearish First R, Week in BO but bearishly overextended with BO 3L, Day in Fakeout high reversing bearishly.
Setup: FOH Cont HOD (red), Day in Fakeout high after BO 3L overextension, confirmed by H8 FOH high of day, First R as further confluence. Two star quality and countertrend.
Entry: H4 BD, M15 close below followed by M15 FOH.
Detailed Features and Options
1. Context and Setup table
The Context and Setup Table is the core feature of the TrendPredator PRO indicator. It delivers real-time interpretation of the multi-timeframe analysis based on an extensive underlying logic table with over 150 variations, specifically developed for this system and indicator. This logic is continuously updated and optimized to ensure accuracy and performance.
1.1. Developing Context
States for developing higher timeframe context are determined based on signals from the monthly, weekly, and daily timeframes.
- Green and Red indicate alignment and potentially interesting developing setups.
- Yellow signals a mixed or conflicting bias, suggesting caution when taking trades.
The specific states are:
- UT (yellow): Uptrend extended
- UT (green): Uptrend healthy
- REV (yellow): Reversal day counter trend
- REV (green): Reversal day mixed trend
- REV Cont (green): Reversal continuation mixed trend
- REV Cont (yellow): Reversal continuation counter trend
- REV into UT (green): Reversal day into uptrend
- REV Cont into UT (green): Reversal continuation into uptrend
- UT Pullback (yellow): Counter uptrend breakdown day
- Conflicting (yellow): Conflicting signals
- Consolidating (yellow): Consolidating sideways
- Inside (yellow): Trading inside after an inside week
- DT Pullback (yellow): Counter downtrend breakout day
- REV Cont into DT (red): Reversal continuation into downtrend
- REV into DT (red): Reversal day into downtrend
- REV Cont (yellow): Reversal continuation counter trend
- REV Cont (red): Reversal continuation mixed trend
- REV (red): Reversal day mixed trend
- REV (yellow): Reversal day countertrend
- DT (red): Downtrend healthy
- DT (yellow): Downtrend extended
Example: Uptrend
The Uptrend Context (UT, green) indicates a healthy uptrend with all timeframes aligning bullishly. In this case, the monthly is in a Fakeout Low (FOL) and currently inside the range, while the weekly and daily are both in Breakout (BO) states. This context is favorable for developing long setups in the direction of the trend.
Example: Uptrend pullback
The Uptrend Pullback Context (UT Pullback, yellow) indicates a Breakdown (BD) on the daily timeframe against a higher timeframe uptrend. In this case, the monthly is in a Fakeout Low (FOL) and currently inside its range, the weekly is in Breakout (BO) and also currently inside, while the daily is in Breakdown (BD). This context reflects a conflicting situation—potentially signaling either an early reversal back into the uptrend or, if the breakdown extends, the beginning of a possible trend change.
Example: Reversal into Uptrend
The Reversal into Uptrend Context (REV into UT, green) indicates a lower timeframe reversal aligning with a higher timeframe uptrend. In this case, the monthly is in Breakout (BO), the weekly is in Breakout (BO) and currently inside its range, while the daily is showing a bullish Fakeout Low (FOL) reversal. This context is potentially very favorable for long setups, as it signals a strong continuation of the uptrend supported across multiple timeframes.
Example: Reversal
The Bearish Reversal Context indicates a lower timeframe rollover within an ongoing higher timeframe uptrend. In this case, the monthly remains in Breakout (BO), the weekly has shifted into a Fakeout High (FOH) after three weeks of breakout longs, and the daily is already in Breakdown (BD). This context suggests a potentially favorable developing short setup, as early signs of weakness appear across timeframes.
1.2. Developing Setup
The states for specific setups are based on the context and the signals from the daily timeframe and H8, indicating that price is in the zone of alignment. The setup description refers to the state of the daily timeframe, while the suffix relates to the H8 timeframe. For example, "prev FOH Cont LHF" means that the previous day is in FOH (Fakeout High) relative to yesterday's breakout level, currently trading inside, and we are in an H8 breakdown, indicating a potential LHF (Lower High Formation) short trade if the entry confirms. The suffix HOD means that H8 is in FOH or BO (Breakout).
The specific states are:
- REV HOD (red): Reversal high of day
- REV Cont LHF (red): Reversal continuation low hanging fruit
- BO Cont LHF (green): Breakout continuation low hanging fruit
- BO Cont LOD (green): Breakout continuation low of day
- FOH Cont HOD (red): Fakeout high continuation high of day
- FOH Cont LHF ((red): Fakeout high continuation low hanging fruit
- prev BD Cont HOD (red): Previous breakdown continuation high of day
- prev BD Cont LHF (red): Previous breakdown continuation low hanging fruit
- prev FOH Cont HOD (red): Previous fakeout high continuation high of day
- prev FOH Cont LHF (red): Previous fakeout high continuation low hanging fruit
- prev FOL Cont LOD (green): Previous fakeout low continuation low of day
- prev FOL Cont LHF (green): Previous fakeout low continuation low hanging fruit
- prev BO Cont LOD (green): Previous breakout continuation low of day
- prev BO Cont LHF (green): Previous breakout continuation low hanging fruit
- FOL Cont LHF (green): Fakeout low continuation low hanging fruit
- FOL Cont LOD (green): Fakeout low continuation low of day
- BD Cont LHF (red): BD continuation low hanging fruit
- BD Cont LOD (red): Breakdown continuation low of day
- REV Cont LHF (green): Reversal continuation low hanging fruit
- REV LOD (green): Reversal low of day
- Inside: Trading inside after an inside day
Type: Indicates the situation of the indicated setup concerning:
- Trend: Following higher timeframe trend
- Mixed: Mixed higher timeframe signals
- Counter: Against higher timeframe bias
Quality: Indicates the quality of the indicated setup according to the specified logic table
No star: Very low quality
* One star: Low quality
** Two star: Medium quality
*** Three star: High quality
Example: Breakout Continuation Trend Setup
This setup highlights a healthy uptrend where the month is in a breakout, the week is in a fakeout low, and the day is in a breakout after a first green day. As the H8 breaks out to the upside, a long setup zone is triggered, presenting a breakout continuation low-hanging fruit trade. This is a trend trade in an overextended situation on the H8, with an H8 3L, resulting in an overall quality rating of one star.
Example: Fakeout Low Continuation Trend Setup
This setup shows a reversal into uptrend, with the month in a breakout, the week in a breakout, and the day in a fakeout low after breaking down the previous day and now reversing back up. As H8 breaks out to the upside, a long setup zone is triggered, presenting a previous fakeout low continuation, low-hanging fruit trade. This is a medium-quality trend trade.
Example: Reversal Setup - Mixed Trend
This setup shows a reversal setup in line with the weekly trend, with the month in a fakeout low, the week in a fakeout high, and the day in a fakeout high after breaking out earlier in the day and now reversing back down. As H8 loses the previous breakout level after 3 breakouts (with H8 3L), a short setup zone is triggered, presenting a fakeout high continuation at the high of the day. This is a high-quality trade in a mixed trend situation.
Setup Alerts:
Alerts can be activated for setups freshly triggered on the chart within your trading window.
Detailed filter logic for setup alerts:
- Setup quality: 1-3 star
- Setup type: Counter, Mixed and Trend
- Setup category: e.g. Reversal Bearish, Breakout, Previous Fakeout High
- 1D BO and First signals: 3DS, 3DL, FRD, FGD, ID
Options:
- Alerts on/ off
- Alert time window (from/ to)
- Alert filter customization
Note: To activate alerts from a script in TradingView, some settings need to be adjusted. Open the "Create Alert" dialog and select the option "Any alert() function call" in the "Condition" section. Choose "TrendPredator PRO" to ensure that alerts trigger properly from the code. Alerts can be activated for entire watchlists or individual pairs. Once activated, the alerts run in the background and notify the user whenever a setup is freshly triggered according to the filter settings.
2. Multi-Timeframe Table
Provides a real-time view of system signals, including:
Current Timeframe (Curr): Bias states.
- Breakout (green BO): Bullish after breaking above the previous high.
- Fakeout High (red FOH): Bearish after breaking above the previous high but pulling back down.
- Breakdown (red BD): Bearish after breaking below the previous low.
- Fakeout Low (green FOL): Bullish after breaking below the previous low but pulling back up.
- Inside (IS): Price trading neutral inside the previous range, taking the previous bias (color indicates the previous bias).
Previous Timeframe (Prev): Tracks last candle bias state and transitions dynamically.
- Bias for last candle: BO, FOH, BD, FOL in respective colors.
- Inside bar (yellow IS): Indicated as standalone signal.
Note: Also previous timeframes get constantly updated in real time to track the bias state in relation to the level that was hit. This means a BO can still lose the level and become a FOH, and vice versa, and a BD can still become a FOL, and vice versa. This is critical to see for example if traders that are trapped in that timeframe with a FOH or FOL are released. An inside bar stays fixed, though, since no level was hit in that timeframe.
Breakouts (BO): Breakout count 3 longs and 3 shorts.
- 3 Longs (red 3L): Bearish after three breakouts without hitting a previous low.
- 3 Shorts (green 3S): Bullish after three breakdowns without hitting a previous high.
First Countertrend Close (First): Tracks First Red or Green Day.
- First Green (G): After two consecutive red closes.
- First Red (R): After two consecutive green closes.
Options: Customizable font size and label colors.
3. Historic Highs and Lows
Displays historic highs and lows per timeframe for added context, enabling users to track sequences over time.
Timeframes: H4, H8, D, W, M
Options: Customize for timeframes shown, number of historic candles per timeframe, colors, formats, and labels.
4. Previous High and Low Extensions
Displays extended previous levels (high, low, and close) for each timeframe to assess how price trades relative to these levels.
H4: P4H, P4L, P4C
H8: P8H, P8L, P8C
Daily: PDH, PDL, PDC
Weekly: PWH, PWL, PWC
Monthly: PMH, PML, PMC
Options: Fully customizable for timeframes shown, colors, formats, and labels.
5. Breach Lines
Tracks live market reactions (e.g., breakouts or fakeouts) per timeframe for the last previous high or low that was hit, highlighting these levels originating at the breached candle to indicate bias (color-coded).
Red: Bearish below
Green: Bullish above
H4: 4FOL, 4FOH, 4BO, 4BD
H8: 8FOL, 8FOH, 8BO, 8BD
D: dFOL, dFOH, dBO, dBD

Options: Fully customizable for timeframes shown, colors, formats, and labels.
Overall Options:
Toggle single feature groups on/off.
Customize H8 open/close time as an offset to UTC to be provider independent.
Colour settings con be adjusted for dark or bright backgrounds.
Higher Timeframe Use Case Examples
Example Use Case: Weekly Template Analysis
The Weekly Template is a core concept in Stacey Burke’s trading style. The analysis is conducted on the daily timeframe, focusing on the higher timeframe bias and identifying overextended conditions within the week—such as multiple breakouts and peak formations signaling potential reversals.
In this example, the candles are colored by the TrendPredator FO indicator, which highlights the state of individual candles. This allows for precise evaluation of both the trend state and the developing weekly template. It is a valuable tool for thesis generation before a trading session and for backtesting purposes.
Example Use Case: High Timeframe 5-Star Setup Analysis (Stacey Burke "ain't coming back" ACB Template)
This analysis identifies high-probability trade opportunities when daily breakout or breakdown closes occur near key monthly levels mid-week, signaling overextensions and potentially large parabolic moves. The key signal to look for is a breakout or breakdown close on a Wednesday. This is useful for thesis generation before a session and also for backtesting.
In this example, the TrendPredator FO indicator colors the candles to highlight individual candle states, particularly those that close in breakout or breakdown. Additionally, an indicator is shown on the chart shading every Wednesday, making it easier to visually identify the signals.
5 Star Alerts:
Alerts can be activated for this potential 5-Star setup constellation. The alert is triggered when there is a breakout or breakdown close on a Wednesday.
Further recommendations:
- Higher timeframe context: TPO or volume profile indicators can be used to gain an even better overview.
- Late session trading: Entries later in the session, such as during the 3rd hour of the NY session, offer better analysis and follow-through on setups.
- Entry confirmation: Momentum indicators like VWAP, Supertrend, or EMA are helpful for increasing precision. Additionally, tracking lower timeframe fakeouts can provide powerful confluence. To track those the TrendPredator Fakeout Highlighter (FO), that has been specifically developed for this can be of great help:
Limitations:
Data availability using TradingView has its limitations. The indicator leverages only the real-time data available for the specific timeframe being used. This means it cannot access data from timeframes lower than the one displayed on the chart. For example, if you are on a daily chart, it cannot use H8 data. Additionally, on very low timeframes, the historical availability of data might be limited, making higher timeframe signals unreliable.
To address this, the indicator automatically hides the affected columns in these specific situations, preventing false signals.

Universal RPPI Indices & Futures [SS Premium]Hello everyone,
For the much-anticipated indicator release, the universal RPPI for Futures and Indices!
If you follow me, chances are you know this indicator by now, since its the basis of all of my analyses and target prices, but if not, let me introduce you!
What is it?
The RPPI for Indices & Futures is essentially a compendium indicator. It contains hundreds of, just over 100 different math models of various futures and indices.
These models are designed to forecast the current targets on multiple timeframes including:
1. The daily
2. The weekly
3. The monthly
4. The Three Month (for SPY and QQQ ONLY)
5. The 6 Month (for DJI, SPX and USOIL/CLI1! ONLY)
6. The annual (for DJI, SPX and USOIL/CLI1! ONLY)
7. The 3 hour
So I will go over the details of the models within the indicators compendium and how they are produced. If you are not interested, just skip to the next section!
What is a model and how is it produced?
Models are math equations and frameworks that attempt to predict future behavior. They are developed in many ways and through many methods. In this particular indicator, each index and future is unique and has been created in various ways, such as using principles of data smoothing, data interpolation, data substitution and data omission.
All this means is, I have manually adjusted model parameters to correct for rare, outlier events. The outcome is having a more accurate model that is better prepared to predict what you want it to predict.
Now let's get into the indicator use.
The first thing we need to talk about is selecting a model type. Different model types are available on a handful of stocks in the indicator, such as SPY, QQQ, DJI and DIA, and so it is important to explain the difference.
Corrected vs Uncorrected Models (i.e. Low Precision vs High Precision Models)
In the settings menu, you will see the second option that reads "Precision". This is where you have the ability to select the model type.
"High Precision" is a corrected model. It is a model that I have used data manipulation for (like the examples above) to enhance its accuracy.
"Low Precision" is a UNCORRECTED model. These models have undergone no data manipulation and are just raw projections.
Which do you use?
There are only a handful of tickers that have both models, like SPY, GLD1! and DJI (among others). Some tickers perform better with low precision models, others perform better with high precision models.
To know what model works best with which stock, the indicator will tell you. At the bottom of the settings table, simply select "Show Model Data":
Selecting this, you will get a table that looks like this:
It will tell you the available model types and which one works best. For IWM, the high-precision corrected model is best. This is true for QQQ and NQ1! as well. However, for SPY and ES1!, the uncorrected model is actually better:
Sometimes, different models perform better at various levels of precision, for example, high on the monthly but low on the daily.
This is why I have omitted this option for the majority of stocks. I don't want this to be confusing to use. For 90% of the included tickers, I have selected the model of best fit. However, for a few of the very popular and volatile tickers (ES, NQ specifically), I have included the ability to use both.
Rule of Thumb:
The rule of thumb with selecting high vs low, is essentially this:
a) If the market is hugely volatility with major swings intraday that exceed its normal behaviour, switch to the low precesion model. This will not be skewed by the massive swings.
b) If the market is stable, trendy or range bound, but not trending beyond its normal, general behaviour, keep it at high precision.
With that, you will be good to go!
Using the indicator:
The indicator is intended as a standalone indicator. Of course, you can combine other indicators that you like to help you out, but there is a strategy version of this that will be released within the coming days/weeks, as this is intended to be a full strategy in and of itself.
As with the universal forecaster, you are given threshold levels that are labelled "Bullish Condition" and "Bearish Condition", a break and hold of the "Bullish Condition" and it is a long to the high targets. Inverse for the bearish condition.
In addition to these conditionals, the indicator also provides you with a high probability retracement level. These are available on the weekly, monthly and higher timeframes. A special moving retracement level is available for SPY only, however it moves based on the PA to give you a sort of POC.
Testing Model Performance:
It is possible to see model performance. At the bottom of the settings menu, select the option to "Show Demographic Data". You need to be sure you are on the chart of the selected timeframe.
This is ES1! on the daily timeframe. It shows you the demographics, i.e. the extent targets are hit, the extent that the high prob retracement targets are missed, the extent that ES closes in and out of its daily range.
This is very valuable information. This table is essentially saying there is only a 10% chance that ES will close above its range and a 9% chance ES closes below its range. This means, that the most ideal setups are a move outside of its range!!
You can view it on all timeframes. If your chart isn't aligned with the lookback, you will get a warning sign:
Misc Functions:
Show price accumulation:
There is an option to toggle on price accumulation. It will show you the amount of accumulation in each of the ranges:
This will show where the accumulation of price rests in relation to the targets.
Autoregression Assessment:
You can have the indicator plot an autoregressive trendline of the expected stock trajectory. You can select the forecast length and it will plot the direction it suspects the stock will go:
Show Standard Deviation:
In the menu, you can toggle on the show standard deviation function. This will plot the standard deviation that each price rests at. The default timeframe for standard deviation is the daily. If you are looking at the weekly, please select the weekly timeframe.
This is helpful because you can see which targets are likely based on where the standard deviation rests. In the above example, a move to the low range would be a move to -2 standard deviations and beyond. This is not something that a ticker would normally do in general circumstances.
FAQ Table:
There is also an option to display an FAQ table. This will show you model revisions and pending revision dates. This will allow you to see when each model was last updated and when new updates will be pushed:
Which models does this contain?
The indicator contains models for the following stocks:
SPY
QQQ
DIA
DJI
ES1!
SPX
NQ1!
NDX
SOXX
IWM
RTY
GCL1! (Gold)
CL1! / USOIL (Oil)
XLE
XLF
YM1!
And some more are in the works (like JETS).
NOTE: Feel free to leave a comment of future ones you would like to see!
The indicator will automatically select the model for whichever ticker you are on.
Some models are cross-compatible, such as CL1! and USOIL, but the indicator is programmed to recognize those that are cross-compatible and auto-select those models.
From there, you just need to select the timeframe you wish to view!
And that is the indicator! I know very wordy explanation but wanted to cover all basis on the indicator so you can be well prepared!
As always, leave your questions, and comments below, and safe trades!
Haye VWAPThis is VWAP but instead of average price resetting daily, you choose the VWAP reset period.
You could choose an Hourly VWAP, or a 2D VWAP, the choice is yours.
To show the functionality compared to normal VWAP, the below shows Haye VWAP (White) and normal VWAP (red), both set to Daily timeframes and on a Daily Chart.
As you can see, they're identical.
Then the following shows a 15min chart, with VWAP set to 15min timeframe and Haye VWAP set to Daily.
Again, notice they're identical because even when you change the timeframe of the regular VWAP, it still "resets" the average price calculation Daily.
Finally you can see what happens when we change the Haye VWAP period, the average price calculation resets based on the period you choose.
In this case Haye VWAP and regular VWAP are both set to 240 (4Hour) on a 5min chart.
The regular VWAP is displaying the 4Hour data of the VWAP (which resets Daily).
The Haye VWAP (in White) is displaying the Volume Weighted Average Price of the 5min bars, resetting every 4Hours.
This allows us to use the principles of VWAP but apply it to shorter (or longer) timeframes. For example, you could have a VWAP that resets hourly, or a longer VWAP that resets every 2Days.
Time & Price1. Swing Trading (Holding for Days to Weeks)
Your goal is to catch major market swings. You are concerned with the major structural turning points.
Chart Timeframe: Daily (D) or 4-Hour (4H). The Daily chart is your primary tool for identifying the major price structure.
Planet Selection (The "Generals"): You focus exclusively on the slow-moving outer planets. Their movements define the major trends and turning points over weeks and months.
Primary Planets: Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto.
Trigger Planet: Mars. You watch for when Mars makes a hard aspect (conjunction, square, opposition) to one of the primary planets. That date is your high-alert time window for a major swing point.
How to Use the Indicator:
Set your chart to Daily.
In the indicator settings, set Scale Method to "Auto".
Enter the 360° degrees for Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune.
The lines that appear are your major weekly support and resistance zones. These are the levels where you look to enter a swing trade.
Entry: You wait for the price to reach one of these major levels. You then look for a strong daily confirmation candle (like a Bullish/Bearish Engulfing pattern that takes out the entire previous day's candle) before entering. Your holding time is days or weeks.
2. Day Trading (Holding for Hours, Closing by End of Day)
Your goal is to catch the primary trend of the day. You need to know the major daily boundaries and the key intraday pivots.
Chart Timeframe:
Preparation: Daily (D) chart for pre-market analysis.
Execution: 15-minute (15m) or 5-minute (5m) chart for entering and managing trades.
Planet Selection (The "Top-Down" Approach): You use a mix of slow and fast planets.
Major "Walls" (from Daily Chart): Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus. These set your absolute ceiling and floor for the day.
Daily "Hot Spots": Mars, The Sun. These levels are magnets for the day's price action.
Intraday "Timing Tool": The Moon. This is your real-time pivot for timing entries.
How to Use the Indicator:
Pre-Market Prep: On the Daily chart, use "Auto Scale" and enter the degrees for the "Walls" (Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus) and "Hot Spots" (Mars, Sun). Identify your major support/resistance zones for the day.
Intraday Trading: Switch to your 5-minute chart. Add The Moon's degree to the indicator.
Entry: The A+ setup is a Convergence: when the price hits a major "Wall" level at the same time it hits the dynamic "Timing Tool" level from the Moon. Wait for a 5-minute confirmation candle (A-C-E method) to enter.
3. Scalping (Holding for Seconds to Minutes)
Your goal is to catch very small, rapid price movements. This is the most difficult application and requires extreme precision.
Chart Timeframe: 1-minute (1m) or a Tick/Range Chart.
Planet Selection (The "Micro-Timers"): The slow planets are almost irrelevant for scalping. You focus almost exclusively on the fastest-moving bodies as their levels will shift most frequently.
Primary Pivot: The Moon. This is your most important level. It moves fast enough to provide new pivots every couple of hours.
Secondary Pivots: Mercury and Venus. These are the next fastest planets and can provide additional minor levels to trade between.
The "Static Line": You might include one major slow planet, like Uranus (for MNQ), just to know where the absolute "do not cross" line is for the day.
How to Use the Indicator:
On your 1-minute chart, open the settings. You might need to use a Manual Scale for scalping, as the "Auto" mode on a 1-minute chart can be too noisy. You'll need to find a scale that produces tight, relevant levels.
Enter the degrees for The Moon, Mercury, and Venus. You can add Uranus as your one major "wall."
Update Frequently: For scalping, you need to update the Moon's degree every hour to keep the pivot sharp.
Entry: You are looking for quick "rejection" or "bounce" scalps at these fast-moving levels. When the price hits a Moon level, you look for a single 1-minute reversal candle and try to capture the immediate reaction. This is a high-frequency strategy that requires excellent execution skills.

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

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

LDO Virgin Levels from Candle Patterns (Multi-Timeframe)User Guide: LDO Virgin Levels from Candle Patterns (Multi-Timeframe)
Overview
The "LDO Virgin Levels from Candle Patterns (Multi-Timeframe)" script is a TradingView indicator that identifies and plots "virgin levels" across multiple timeframes (15-minute, 4-hour, daily, weekly, and monthly). Virgin levels are price levels drawn at key reversal points based on candlestick patterns—specifically, the high or low of a candle preceding a bullish-to-bearish or bearish-to-bullish transition. These levels remain active ("virgin") until the price crosses them, at which point they are removed, and an alert can be triggered.
Key Features
Multi-Timeframe Support: Plots virgin levels on 15-minute, 4-hour, daily, weekly, and monthly timeframes.
Customizable Display: Enable/disable specific timeframes and customize line colors and width.
Alerts: Triggers alerts when the price crosses a virgin level on any enabled timeframe.
Version Tracking: Displays the script version on the chart for easy reference (current version: 1.1.0).
How It Works
Level Detection:
On each timeframe, the script detects candlestick pattern reversals:
Bullish-to-bearish: A bullish candle (close > open) followed by a bearish candle (close < open). A level is drawn at the high of the previous (bullish) candle.
Bearish-to-bullish: A bearish candle followed by a bullish candle. A level is drawn at the low of the previous (bearish) candle.
Levels are drawn as horizontal lines extending to the right, with a label showing the price.
Virgin Status:
A level remains "virgin" until the price closes across it on a new bar for that timeframe (e.g., a new 15-minute bar for 15m levels).
Once crossed, the level is removed from the chart.
Alerting:
When a virgin level is crossed, an alert is triggered for the corresponding timeframe (if enabled).
Setup Instructions
Add the Script to TradingView:
Open TradingView and go to the Pine Editor (bottom panel).
Copy and paste the script code into the editor.
Click "Add to Chart" to apply it to your active chart.
Configure Settings:
Timeframe Selection:
Toggle which timeframes to display levels for (default: all enabled):
Show Daily Levels
Show 4H Levels
Show 15M Levels
Show Weekly Levels
Show Monthly Levels
Disabling a timeframe clears its levels from the chart.
Line Settings:
Adjust the line width (default: 1).
Customize colors for each timeframe (default colors):
Daily: White
4H: Yellow
15M: Green
Weekly: Blue
Monthly: Red
Max Lines: Set the maximum number of lines to draw (default: 500, TradingView’s limit).
Verify Version:
The script version (e.g., "Version: 1.1.0") is displayed at the top of the chart for reference.
Using the Alerting Feature
The script includes the ability to set alerts when virgin levels are crossed, with separate alerts for each timeframe. Here’s how to set them up:
Enable Desired Timeframes:
Ensure the timeframe(s) you want alerts for are enabled in the settings (e.g., "Show 15M Levels").
Create an Alert:
Right-click on the chart and select "Create Alert" (or use the bell icon in TradingView).
In the alert dialog:
Condition: Select the script ("LDO Virgin Levels from Candle Patterns (Multi-Timeframe)").
Condition Dropdown: Choose the specific alert condition for the timeframe you want to monitor:
"15m Virgin Line Crossed"
"4h Virgin Line Crossed"
"Daily Virgin Line Crossed"
"Weekly Virgin Line Crossed"
"Monthly Virgin Line Crossed"
Message: The default message (e.g., "A virgin line on the 15m timeframe has been crossed.") will be sent, but you can customize it if needed.
Notifications: Choose your preferred notification method (e.g., email, SMS, popup, webhook).
Frequency: Set to "Once Per Bar Close" to avoid multiple triggers within the same bar.
Click "Create" to activate the alert.
Repeat for Other Timeframes:
You can create separate alerts for each timeframe by repeating the process and selecting the appropriate condition.
Behavior:
Alerts trigger when the price closes across a virgin level on a new bar for that timeframe (e.g., a new 15-minute bar for 15m levels).
If multiple levels are crossed on the same bar, only one alert per timeframe will fire.
Example Use Case
Scenario: You’re trading SUIUSDT on a 15-minute chart and want alerts for 15-minute and 4-hour virgin level crossings.
Setup:
Enable "Show 15M Levels" and "Show 4H Levels" in the script settings.
Create two alerts:
One with the condition "15m Virgin Line Crossed".
Another with the condition "4h Virgin Line Crossed".
Configure notifications (e.g., email or popup).
Result: When the price crosses a 15m virgin level (e.g., at 3.3901 USD), you’ll receive an alert. Similarly, a 4h level crossing will trigger its own alert.
Notes
Chart Timeframe: The script works on any chart timeframe because it uses request.security to fetch data for higher timeframes (e.g., 15m levels will work even on a 1m chart).
Line Limit: The script caps at 500 lines total (TradingView’s limit). Older levels may be overwritten if this limit is reached.
Version Updates: Check the version number on the chart and the changelog in the script comments for updates.
Troubleshooting
No Levels Visible: Ensure the desired timeframes are enabled and that price action has triggered reversal patterns.
Alerts Not Firing: Verify that alerts are set to "Once Per Bar Close" and that the timeframe is enabled in the script settings.
Too Many Lines: Adjust the "Max number of lines to draw" setting if levels are being overwritten.
This script provides a powerful tool for traders to identify key reversal levels across multiple timeframes, with the added benefit of customizable alerts to stay informed of significant price movements.
Advanced ORB IndicatorAdvanced ORB (Opening Range Breakout) Indicator
Overview
The Advanced ORB Indicator is a sophisticated trading tool designed to capture high-probability breakout opportunities across multiple markets. By identifying the opening range of a trading session and detecting meaningful breakouts, this indicator helps traders enter trending moves with strong momentum while filtering out false signals.
Core Concept
The Opening Range Breakout strategy is based on the principle that the initial trading range of a session often defines key support and resistance levels. When price breaks convincingly beyond this range with proper confirmation, it frequently indicates the beginning of a directional move that can persist throughout the session.
Key Features
### Intelligent Market Detection
- Automatically identifies market type (US Stocks, Forex, Crypto, EU/Asia Stocks)
- Applies optimal default timings based on market characteristics
- Configurable time zones (Exchange, UTC, Local) for precise session timing
Customizable Session Settings
- Adjustable opening range duration (15-240 minutes)
- Flexible reset periods (Daily, Weekly, Monthly, or Never)
- Custom session start times to match specific market opens or pre-market periods
Advanced Signal Filtering
- Multi-factor confirmation system requiring strong candle bodies, proper wick ratios, and minimum breakout percentages
- Smart cooldown periods preventing clustered signals
- Retracement detection that resets signals after meaningful pullbacks
Quality Control Mechanisms
- Volume threshold filter for stronger conviction entries
- RSI-based filters to avoid overbought/oversold conditions
- Trend alignment validation using EMA and directional analysis
- Consecutive candle confirmation for higher reliability
Visual Clarity
- Clear high/low boundary visualization
- Comprehensive status panel showing current levels, trend status, and filter conditions
- Clean, non-repainting signal triangles at breakout points
Trading Applications
Stocks & ETFs
Perfect for capturing morning momentum after market open, especially effective on US equities where the first 30-60 minutes often set the tone for the day. Excellent for gap fills, trend continuations, and reversal confirmations.
Forex & Futures
Ideal for session-based strategies around London/New York opens, capturing institutional order flow as major players enter the market. Can be configured for H4/H1 longer-term breakouts in 24-hour markets.
Cryptocurrency
Powerful for identifying key breakout levels in volatile crypto markets, with adjustable parameters to filter out noise while catching significant moves. Especially effective during high-volume periods following consolidation.
Strategic Implementation
The indicator excels when used as part of a complete trading system. Consider these approaches:
1. Pure Momentum Strategy: Enter on signal, exit at fixed R:R or end of session
2. Trend Continuation: Only take signals in the direction of the higher timeframe trend
3. Support/Resistance Validation: Combine with key S/R levels for higher probability entries
4. Volume Profile Confirmation: Use in conjunction with volume profile to verify breakout significance
Optimization Tips
- Adjust Opening Range Duration based on market volatility (shorter for choppy markets, longer for trending)
- Increase filter requirements during uncertain market conditions
- Loosen filters during strong trending environments
- Use longer durations (120+ minutes) for swing trading setups
- Consider Weekly/Monthly reset periods for positional trading approaches
Performance Notes
The Advanced ORB Indicator is designed to produce fewer, higher-quality signals rather than frequent low-conviction entries. The multiple confirmation requirements mean you'll catch fewer false breakouts at the expense of occasionally later entries.
For best results, combine with proper risk management, position sizing, and an understanding of the broader market context.
*This indicator works on all timeframes but performs optimally on 1-minute to 15-minute charts for intraday trading and 1-hour to 4-hour charts for swing trading opportunities.*

Multi-Timeframe Liquidity Zones V6 (Table)Multi-Timeframe Liquidity Zones V6 (Table) Indicator: Functionality and Uses
Overview: The Multi-Timeframe Liquidity Zones V6 (Table) indicator is a technical analysis tool that highlights key volume-based support and resistance levels across multiple timeframes. It leverages volume profile concepts – specifically the Point of Control (POC) and Value Area High/Low (VAH/VAL) – to identify “liquidity zones” where trading activity was heaviest . Unlike a standard single-timeframe volume profile, this indicator compiles data from several timeframes (e.g. monthly, weekly, daily, intraday) and displays the results in a convenient table format on the chart. The goal is to give traders a consolidated view of important price levels (derived from volume concentrations) across different horizons, helping them plan trades with a broader market perspective.
Purpose and Functionality of the Indicator
Multi-Timeframe Analysis: The primary objective of this indicator is to simplify multi-timeframe analysis of volume distribution. Rather than manually checking volume profiles on separate charts for each timeframe, the tool automatically calculates the key levels for each selected timeframe and presents them together. This includes higher-level perspectives (like monthly or weekly volume hotspots) alongside shorter-term levels (daily or hourly), ensuring that traders don’t miss significant zones from any timeframe . By offering a broader perspective on support and resistance levels, multi-timeframe tools help improve risk management and signal confirmation , and this indicator is designed to provide that volume-based perspective at a glance.
Table Format Display: Multi-Timeframe Liquidity Zones V6 (Table) specifically presents the information as a table (as opposed to plotting lines on the chart). Each row in the table typically corresponds to a timeframe (for example, Monthly, Weekly, Daily, 4H, 1H, 30M, 15M), and the columns list the calculated POC, VAH, VAL, and possibly the average volume for that timeframe’s look-back period. By structuring the data in a table, traders can quickly read off the exact price levels of these liquidity zones without having to visually trace lines. This format makes it easy to compare levels across timeframes or note where multiple timeframes’ levels cluster near the same price – a sign of especially strong support/resistance. The indicator uses a user-defined number of bars or length of history for each timeframe to calculate these values (so you can adjust how far back it looks to define the volume profile for each period).
Objective: In summary, the functionality is geared toward identifying high-liquidity price zones across multiple time scales and presenting them clearly. These high-liquidity zones often coincide with areas where price reacts (stalls, reverses, or accelerates) because a lot of trading activity (hence, orders and volume) took place there in the past. The indicator’s objective is to alert the trader to those areas in advance. It effectively answers questions like: “Where are the major volume concentration levels on the 1-hour, daily, and weekly charts right now?” and “Are there overlapping volume-based support/resistance levels from different timeframes around the current price?” By compiling this information, the indicator helps traders incorporate context from multiple timeframes in their decision-making, without needing to flip through numerous charts.
Identifying Liquidity Zones with POC, VAH, and VAL
Liquidity Zones Defined: In market terms, a “liquidity zone” is an area of the chart where a significant amount of trading occurred, meaning high liquidity (many buyers and sellers exchanged volume there). These zones often act as support or resistance because past heavy trading indicates consensus or interest around those price levels. This indicator identifies liquidity zones through volume profile analysis on each timeframe’s recent price action. Essentially, it looks at the distribution of trading volume at different prices over the specified period and finds the value area – the range of prices that encompassed the majority of that volume (commonly around 70% of the total volume ). Within that value area, it pinpoints the Point of Control (POC), which is the single price level that had the highest traded volume (the peak of the volume profile) . The upper and lower boundaries of that high-volume range are marked as Value Area High (VAH) and Value Area Low (VAL) respectively . Together, the VAH and VAL define the liquidity zone where the market spent most of its time and volume, and POC highlights the most traded price in that zone.
• Point of Control (POC): The POC is the price level with the greatest volume traded for the given period. It represents the price at which the most liquidity was exchanged – effectively the market’s “center of gravity” for that timeframe’s trading activity . The indicator calculates the POC for each selected timeframe by scanning the volume at each price; the price with maximum volume is flagged as that timeframe’s POC. In the table, the POC might be highlighted or listed as a key level (sometimes traders color-code it or mark it for emphasis). Because so many positions were opened or closed at the POC, it often serves as a strong support/resistance. For example, if price falls to a major POC from above, traders expect buyers may step in there (since it was a popular buy/sell level historically), potentially causing a bounce. Conversely, if price breaks through a POC decisively, it may signal a significant shift in market acceptance.
• Value Area High (VAH) and Low (VAL): The VAH and VAL are the price boundaries of the value area, which is typically defined to contain about 70% of the total traded volume for the period . In other words, between VAH and VAL is where the “bulk” of trading occurred, and outside this range is where relatively less volume traded. The indicator derives VAH/VAL by accumulating volume from the highest-volume price (POC) outward until ~70% of volume is covered (this is a common method for volume profile value area). VAH is the top of this high-volume region and VAL is the bottom. These levels are important because they often act like support/resistance boundaries: when price is inside the value area, it’s in a high-liquidity zone and tends to oscillate between VAH and VAL; when price moves above VAH or below VAL, it’s leaving the high-volume zone, which can indicate a potential trend or imbalance (price entering a lower-liquidity area where it might move faster until finding the next liquidity zone). Traders watch VAH/VAL for signs of rejection or acceptance: for instance, a price rally that falters at VAH suggests that level is acting as resistance (sellers defending that high-volume area), whereas if price pushes above VAH, it may continue until the next timeframe’s zone or until it finds new interest. The Multi-Timeframe Liquidity Zones V6 indicator gives the VAH and VAL for each timeframe, essentially mapping out the upper and lower bounds of key liquidity zones at those scales.
How the Indicator Identifies These: Under the hood, the indicator likely uses historical price and volume data for each timeframe’s lookback window. For each timeframe (say the last 20 weekly bars for a weekly profile, last 100 daily bars for a daily profile, etc.), it constructs a volume profile (a histogram of volume at each price). From that distribution, it finds the POC (highest volume bin) and calculates VAH/VAL around it. The output is a set of numbers (price levels) that mark where those zones lie. In practice, if using the Lines version of this indicator, those levels are drawn as horizontal lines on the chart and labeled by timeframe (e.g., a line at 1.2345 labeled “D POC” for Daily POC) . In the Table version, those values are instead listed in text form. Either way, the identification process is the same – it’s finding the high-volume price regions on each timeframe and calling them out. By doing this for multiple timeframes concurrently, the indicator reveals how these liquidity zones from different periods relate to each other. For example, you might discover that a daily-chart value area overlaps with a weekly-chart POC, creating a particularly strong zone of interest. This kind of insight is hard to get from a single timeframe analysis alone.
Volume Profile Data Across Multiple Timeframes
Multiple Timeframes in One View: One of the biggest advantages of this indicator is the ability to see volume profile information from various timeframes side by side. Traders often perform multiple timeframe analysis to get a fuller picture — for instance, checking monthly or weekly levels for long-term context while planning a trade on a 4-hour chart. This indicator automates that process for volume-based levels. The table will typically list each chosen timeframe (which could be preset or user-selected). For each timeframe, you get the POC, VAH, VAL, and possibly an average volume metric. The “average volume” likely refers to the average volume per bar or the average volume traded over the profile’s duration for that timeframe, which gives a sense of how significant that period’s activity is. For example, a weekly profile might show an average volume of say 500k per week, versus a daily profile average of 80k per day – indicating the scale of trading on weekly vs daily. High average volume on a timeframe means its liquidity zones were formed with a lot of participation, possibly making them more reliable support/resistance. By comparing these, traders can gauge which timeframes had unusually high or low activity recently. The table format makes such comparisons straightforward.
Identification of Confluence: Because all the data is presented together, traders can quickly spot confluence or overlaps between timeframes. If two different timeframes show liquidity zones at similar price levels, that price becomes extremely noteworthy. For instance, suppose the indicator shows: a 1-hour POC at 1.1300, a 4-hour VAL at 1.1280, and a daily VAL at 1.1290. These are all in a tight range – effectively indicating a multi-timeframe liquidity zone around 1.1280–1.1300. A trader seeing this cluster in the table will recognize that as a strong support area, since multiple profiles from intraday to daily all suggest heavy trading interest there. Similarly, overlaps of VAH (resistance zone) from different timeframes could signal a strong ceiling. The multi-timeframe view prevents a trader from, say, going long into a major weekly POC above, or shorting when there’s a huge monthly value-area low just below – situations where awareness of higher timeframe volume structure can make the difference between a good and bad trade.
User Customization: The indicator is flexible in that you can typically adjust which timeframes to include and how many bars to use for each timeframe’s calculation. For example, one might configure it to calculate monthly levels using the past 12 monthly bars (1 year of data), weekly levels using the past 20 weeks, daily using 100 days, etc., depending on preference. By tuning the “bars count” or period length , the trader can focus on recent liquidity zones or incorporate more history if desired. Shorter lookback might catch more recent shifts in volume distribution (important if the market structure changed recently), while longer lookback gives more established levels. This customization ensures the indicator’s output can be tailored to different trading styles (short-term vs swing vs long-term investing). Regardless of settings, the multi-timeframe table allows simultaneous visibility of the chosen timeframes’ volume landscape. This comprehensive view is the core strength: it consolidates data that normally requires flipping through multiple charts.
Using the Liquidity Zones Data for Trading Decisions
Traders can use the information from the MTF Liquidity Zones V6 (Table) indicator in several practical ways to enhance their decision-making:
• Identify Support and Resistance: Each liquidity zone acts as a potential support or resistance area. For example, if the table shows a daily VAH at a certain level above the current price, that level might serve as resistance if the price rallies up to it (since it marks the top of a high-volume region where sellers might step in). Conversely, a weekly VAL below current price could act as support on a dip. By noting these levels in the table, a trader planning an entry or exit can anticipate where the price might stall or reverse. Essentially, you get a map of high-interest price levels from different timeframes, which you can mark on your trading chart for guidance.
• Plan Entries and Exits Around Key Levels: Many traders incorporate volume profile levels into their strategies, for instance: buying near VAL (betting that the value area will hold and price will revert upward), or selling/shorting near VAH (expecting the top of value to hold as resistance), or trading breakouts when price moves outside the value area. With the multi-timeframe table, one can refine these tactics by also considering higher timeframe levels. Suppose you see that on the 1-hour chart the price is just above its 1H POC, but the table indicates that just slightly above, there’s also the daily POC. You might delay a long entry until price clears that daily POC, because that could be a stronger intraday barrier. Or if you intend to take profit on a long trade, you might choose a target just below a weekly VAH since price may struggle to climb past that on the first attempt. The indicator thus acts as a guide for precision in entry/exit decisions, aligning them with where liquidity is high.
• Gauge Trend Strength and Directional Bias: By observing where current price is relative to these volume zones, traders can infer certain market conditions. For instance, if price is trading above the VAH of multiple timeframes’ value areas, it suggests the market is in a more bullish or overextended territory (price accepted above prior value), whereas if price is below multiple VALs, it’s in bearish or undervalued territory relative to recent history. If the price stays around a POC, it indicates consolidation or equilibrium (market comfortable at that price). Traders can use this context for bias – e.g., if price is above the weekly VAH, you might lean bullish but watch for potential pullbacks to that VAH level (now a support). If price is below the monthly VAL, you might avoid longs until it re-enters that value area. In essence, the liquidity zones provide context of value vs. price: is price trading within the high-volume areas (implying range-bound behavior) or outside them (implying a breakout or trending move)? This can prevent chasing trades at poor locations.
• Combine with Other Indicators/Analysis: It’s generally advised to not use any single indicator in isolation, and this holds true here. The liquidity zones from this indicator are best used alongside price action or other technical signals for confirmation . For example, if a bullish candlestick reversal pattern forms right at a confluence of a 4H VAL and Daily POC, that’s a stronger buy signal than the pattern alone. Or if an oscillator shows overbought exactly as price hits a weekly VAH, it adds conviction to a possible short. The indicator’s table basically gives you a shortlist of critical price levels; you can then watch how price behaves at those levels (via candlesticks, order flow, etc.) to make the final trade decision. Traders might set alerts for when price approaches one of the listed levels, or they might drop down to a lower timeframe to fine-tune an entry once a key zone is reached. By integrating this volume-based insight with trend analysis, chart patterns, or momentum indicators, one can make more informed and high-probability decisions rather than trading in the dark.
• Risk Management and Stop Placement: High-liquidity zones can also inform stop-loss placement. Ideally, you want your stop on the other side of a strong support/resistance. If you go long near a VAL, you might place your stop just below the VAL (since a move beyond that suggests the high-volume zone didn’t hold). If you short near a VAH, a stop just above the VAH or POC could be logical. Moreover, if multiple timeframes show overlapping zones, a stop beyond all of them could be even safer (albeit at the cost of a wider stop). The indicator helps identify those spots. It also warns you of where not to put a stop – for example, placing a stop-loss right at a POC might be unwise because price could gravitate to that POC repeatedly (due to its magnetic effect as a high-volume price). Instead, a trader might choose a stop beyond the far side of the value area. By using the table’s information, you can align your risk management with areas of high liquidity, reducing the chance of being whipsawed by normal volatility around heavily traded levels .
Benefits of the Multi-Timeframe Liquidity Zones Indicator
Using the Multi-Timeframe Liquidity Zones V6 (Table) indicator offers several key benefits for traders, ultimately aiming to streamline analysis and improve decision quality:
• Consolidated Key Levels: It provides a clear, consolidated view of crucial volume-driven levels from multiple timeframes all at once . This saves time and ensures you always account for major support/resistance zones that come from higher or lower timeframe volume clusters. You won’t accidentally overlook a significant weekly level while focused on a 15-minute chart, for example.
• Enhanced Multi-Timeframe Insight: By aligning information from long-term and short-term periods, the indicator helps traders see the “bigger picture” while still operating on their preferred timeframe. This multi-scale awareness can improve trade timing and confidence. You’re effectively doing multi-timeframe analysis with volume profiles in an efficient manner, which can confirm or caution your trade ideas (e.g., a trend looks strong on the 1H, but the table shows a huge monthly VAH just overhead – a reason to be cautious or take profit early).
• Improved Decision Making and Precision: Knowing where liquidity zones lie allows for more precise entries, exits, and stop placements. Traders can make informed decisions such as waiting for a pullback to a value area before entering, or taking profits before price hits a major POC from a higher timeframe. These decisions are grounded in objectively important price levels, potentially leading to higher probability trades and better risk-reward setups. It essentially enhances your strategy by adding a layer of volume context – you’re trading with an awareness of where the market’s interest is heaviest.
• Volume-Based Confirmation: Price alone can sometimes be deceptive, but volume tells the true story of participation. The liquidity zones indicator provides volume-based confirmation of support/resistance. If a price level is identified by this tool, it’s because significant volume happened there – adding weight to that level’s importance. This can help filter out false support/resistance levels that aren’t backed by volume. In other words, it highlights high-quality levels that many traders (and possibly institutions) have shown interest in.
• Adaptable to Different Trading Styles: Whether one is a scalper looking at intraday (15M, 5M charts) or a swing trader focusing on daily/weekly, the indicator can be configured to those needs. You choose which timeframes and how much data to consider. This means the concept of liquidity zones can be applied universally – from spotting intraday pivot levels with volume, to seeing long-term value zones on an investment. The consistent methodology of POC/VAH/VAL across scales provides a common framework to analyze any market and timeframe.
• Informed Risk Management: As discussed, the knowledge of multi-timeframe volume zones aids in risk management. By placing stops beyond major liquidity areas or avoiding trades that run into strong volume walls, traders can reduce the likelihood of whipsaw losses. It’s an extra layer of defense to ensure your trade plan accounts for where the market has historically found lots of interest (hence likely friction). This level of informed planning can be the difference between a well-managed trade and an avoidable loss.
In conclusion, the Multi-Timeframe Liquidity Zones V6 (Table) indicator serves as a powerful analytical aid, giving traders a structured view of where price is likely to encounter support or resistance based on volume concentrations across timeframes. Its functionality centers on identifying those liquidity zones (via POC, VAH, VAL) and presenting them in an easy-to-read format, while its ultimate purpose is to help traders make more informed decisions. By integrating this tool into their workflow, traders can more confidently navigate price action, knowing the objective volume-based landmarks that lie ahead. Remember that while these volume levels often coincide with strong S/R zones, it’s best to use them in conjunction with other technical or fundamental analysis for confirmation . When used appropriately, the indicator can streamline multi-timeframe analysis and enhance your overall trading strategy , giving you an edge in identifying where the market’s liquidity (and opportunity) resides.
ICT Smart Money Liquidity LevelsThe ICT Smart Money Liquidity Levels indicator is designed to visualize key liquidity areas across multiple timeframes. Based on ICT concepts, this tool can help traders analyze price movement, liquidity sweeps, and expansion levels without switching between timeframes.
This indicator highlights liquidity levels at significant highs and lows, allowing users to track potential areas of interest where price may react. By also incorporating historical measurements, it also provides forecasted average sweep and expansion zones.
Features:
- Liquidity Levels
Plots previous HTF candle highs and lows. Available for 1H, 4H, Daily.
- Major Liquidity Levels
Highlights areas where price previously reached a significant high or low within 10 HTF candles. Available for 1H, 4H, Daily.
- Sweep and Expansion Forecast
Uses historical price data to forecast the average sweep and expansion levels for the next HTF candle. Available for 4H, Daily, Weekly, Monthly.
Why Is This Indicator Useful?
Based on ICT concepts, price seeks liquidity, often targeting trapped stops above highs and below lows before reversing or continuing its trend. High-timeframe (HTF) highs and lows, such as 1H, 4H, and Daily liquidity levels, act as natural draw points where price is likely to react. These levels represent areas where stop hunts, liquidity grabs, and institutional order flow often take place. By marking these zones, traders can anticipate where price may seek liquidity before making a significant move.
Additionally, historical liquidity sweeps and expansion zones provide insight into how price has behaved in similar situations in the past. According to ICT methodology, price often manipulates liquidity before expanding in the intended direction. By tracking average sweep and expansion levels, traders can forecast potential price movement, aligning their entries with areas where liquidity has historically been taken or distributed.
