Sweep2Trade Pro [CHE]Sweep2Trade Pro \ — Liquidity Sweep → Trend → Confirmation
Sweep2Trade Pro \ helps you catch high-probability reversals or continuations that start with a liquidity sweep, align with the T3 trend, and finalize with a structure confirmation (BOS). It’s designed to reduce noise, time your entries, and keep you out of weak, chop-driven signals.
What’s a “sweep”?
A liquidity sweep happens when price briefly breaks a prior swing high/low (where many stops sit), triggers those stops, and then snaps back. This “stop-hunt” creates liquidity for bigger players and often precedes a sharp move in the opposite direction if the break fails, or fuels continuation if structure actually shifts.
What’s a BOS (Break of Structure)?
A BOS is a price action event where the market takes out a recent swing level in the trend’s direction, signaling continuation and confirming that structure has shifted (bullish BOS through a recent swing high, bearish BOS through a recent swing low).
How the indicator works (at a glance)
1. Regime Filter (T3 + R²)
T3 Moving Average: A smoother, faster-responding moving average that aims to reduce lag while filtering noise, so trend direction changes are clearer.
R² (Coefficient of Determination): Measures how “linear” the recent price path is (0→1). Higher values = stronger, cleaner trend; lower values = more chop. Used here to allow trades only when trend quality exceeds a user-set threshold.
2. Sweep Detection
Bullish sweep: price pokes below a prior swing low and closes back above it.
Bearish sweep: price pokes above a prior swing high and closes back below it.
Lookback length is configurable.
3. Sequence Lock (built-in FSM)
The script manages state in phases so you don’t jump the gun:
Phase 1: Sweep detected → wait for T3 to turn in the corresponding direction.
Phase 2: T3 direction confirmed → show “SWEEP OK” and wait for final confirmation.
Trade Signal: Only fires if confirmation arrives before a timeout.
4. Confirmation Layer
BOS via wick or close (you choose),
Strong close toward the signal (top/bottom quartile of the candle),
Optional “close above/below T3” condition.
These checks help avoid weak sweeps that immediately fade.
5. Alerts & Visuals
“SWEEP OK” markers show when the sweep + T3 direction align.
Final BUY/SELL arrows appear only when the confirmation layer passes.
Ready-made alert conditions for automation.
What you can do with it
Time reversals after sweeps: Enter when a stop-hunt fades and structure confirms.
Ride continuations: Use BOS with the T3 trend to pyramid or re-enter with structure on your side.
Filter chop: Let R² gate entries to periods with cleaner directional drift.
Automate: Use the included alerts with your platform or webhook setup.
Inputs (key settings)
Regime Filter
T3 Length / Volume Factor: Controls smoothness and responsiveness. Smaller length → faster, more sensitive; higher volume factor → smoother curve.
R² Lookback & Threshold: Length of the linear fit window and the minimum “trend quality” required. Higher thresholds mean fewer, cleaner signals.
Sweep / Sequence
Swing Lookback: How far back to define the “reference” high/low for sweeps.
Timeout: Maximum bars allowed between phases to keep signals fresh.
Restart timeout on Phase 2: Optional safety so entries don’t go stale.
Confirmation
BOS Lookback: Micro-pivot window for structure breaks.
Wick vs Close BOS: Conservative traders may prefer close.
Require close above/below T3: Tightens confirmation with trend alignment.
Practical guide (quick start)
1. Timeframe & markets: Works across majors, indices, and crypto. Start with 5m–1h intraday or 1h–4h swing; adjust R² threshold upward on noisier pairs.
2. Entry recipe (Long):
Bullish sweep of a prior low → T3 turns up → BOS/strong close.
Optional: enable “close above T3” for extra confirmation.
3. Entry recipe (Short): Mirror the above.
4. Stops: Common choices are just beyond the sweep wick (tighter) or past the BOS invalidation (safer).
5. Targets: Previous structural levels, measured move, or a T3 trail (exit when price closes back through T3).
6. Avoid low-quality contexts: If R² is very low, market is likely ranging erratically—skip or widen filters.
Tips & best practices
Context first: The same sweep means different things in a strong trend vs. flat regime; that’s why the T3+R² filter exists.
BOS choice: Wick-based BOS is earlier but noisier; close-based BOS is slower but cleaner. Tune per market.
Backtest -> Forward test: Validate settings per symbol/timeframe; then paper trade before going live.
Risk: Fixed fractional risk with asymmetric R\:R (e.g., 1:1.5–1:3) generally performs better than “all-in” discretionary sizing.
Behind the scenes (for the curious)
T3 is a multi-stage EMA construction that produces a smooth curve with reduced lag versus simple/standard EMAs.
R² is the square of correlation (0–1). Here it’s used as a moving gauge of how well price aligns to a linear path—our “trend quality” dial.
Stop-hunts / sweeps are a recognized microstructure phenomenon where clustered stops provide the liquidity that fuels the next move.

Pure Price Zone Flow🔎 What this indicator is
It’s a price-action-based zone indicator. Unlike moving average systems, this one relies only on:
1. Swing Highs & Swing Lows → The highest and lowest points within a recent lookback period (like "mini support & resistance").
2. ATR (Average True Range) → A volatility measure that expands the zone, making it more adaptive to different market conditions.
3. Breakouts & Retests → When price breaks above a swing high (bullish) or below a swing low (bearish), the indicator marks it and highlights the new trend.
👉 The goal is to spot clean structure shifts and define clear trend zones where traders can position themselves.
________________________________________
⚙️ How it is calculated
1. Swing High & Swing Low
o We look back len candles (default 20).
o Find the highest high (swingHigh) and the lowest low (swingLow) in that window.
o This forms the price range zone.
2. ATR Expansion
o We calculate ATR over the same len.
o Add/subtract it (multiplied by atrMult) to the zone edges to expand them.
o This ensures the zones breathe with volatility (tight in quiet markets, wide in choppy ones).
3. Mid-Zone
o Simply the average of swingHigh and swingLow.
o If price is above mid → bullish bias.
o If below mid → bearish bias.
o This gives us the trend color for candles.
4. Breakouts
o If the close crosses above swingHigh, we mark a bullish breakout with a label.
o If the close crosses below swingLow, we mark a bearish breakdown.
________________________________________
📊 How it helps traders
This indicator helps by:
1. Identifying Structure Shifts
o Many traders watch swing highs/lows for breakouts or reversals.
o This automates the process and visually confirms when structure is broken.
2. Dynamic Zone Trading
o Instead of fixed support/resistance, the ATR expansion adapts to volatility.
o This avoids false signals in high-volatility conditions.
3. Trend Bias at a Glance
o Candle coloring instantly tells you whether price is in bullish or bearish territory relative to the mid-zone.
4. Breakout Confirmation
o The labels show when a breakout has occurred, so traders can react quickly (e.g., enter with trend, wait for retest, or avoid fading moves).
________________________________________
🌍 Markets it works best in
• Crypto (Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc.): Very effective since crypto is breakout-driven and respects swing levels.
• Forex: Good for volatility-adaptive structure analysis, especially in trending pairs.
• Indices (SPX, NASDAQ, DAX, NIFTY): Useful for breakout trading during session opens or key news events.
• Commodities (Gold, Oil, Silver): Works well to define intraday ranges and breakout levels.
⚠️ Less useful in low-volatility, mean-reverting assets (like some penny stocks or sideways ranges), because breakouts may be rare or fake.
________________________________________
💡 How it adds value
• Strips away unnecessary complexity (no lagging averages).
• Focuses directly on what price is doing structurally.
• Adaptive → works across different markets & timeframes.
• Easy visualization → zones, trend coloring, breakout markers.
• Helps traders trade with the flow of the market, instead of guessing tops/bottoms.
________________________________________
👉 In short:
This indicator turns raw price action into clear, actionable zones.
It highlights when the market shifts from balance to breakout, so traders can align with momentum rather than fighting it.
Advanced Volume Profile Pro Delta + POC + VAH/VAL# Advanced Volume Profile Pro - Delta + POC + VAH/VAL Analysis System
## WHAT THIS SCRIPT DOES
This script creates a comprehensive volume profile analysis system that combines traditional volume-at-price distribution with delta volume calculations, Point of Control (POC) identification, and Value Area (VAH/VAL) analysis. Unlike standard volume indicators that show only total volume over time, this script analyzes volume distribution across price levels and estimates buying vs selling pressure using multiple calculation methods to provide deeper market structure insights.
## WHY THIS COMBINATION IS ORIGINAL AND USEFUL
**The Problem Solved:** Traditional volume indicators show when volume occurs but not where price finds acceptance or rejection. Standalone volume profiles lack directional bias information, while basic delta calculations don't provide structural context. Traders need to understand both volume distribution AND directional sentiment at key price levels.
**The Solution:** This script implements an integrated approach that:
- Maps volume distribution across price levels using configurable row density
- Estimates delta (buying vs selling pressure) using three different methodologies
- Identifies Point of Control (highest volume price level) for key support/resistance
- Calculates Value Area boundaries where 70% of volume traded
- Provides real-time alerts for key level interactions and volume imbalances
**Unique Features:**
1. **Developing POC Visualization**: Real-time tracking of Point of Control migration throughout the session via blue dotted trail, revealing institutional accumulation/distribution patterns before they complete
2. **Multi-Method Delta Calculation**: Price Action-based, Bid/Ask estimation, and Cumulative methods for different market conditions
3. **Adaptive Timeframe System**: Auto-adjusts calculation parameters based on chart timeframe for optimal performance
4. **Flexible Profile Types**: N Bars Back (precise control), Days Back (calendar-based), and Session-based analysis modes
5. **Advanced Imbalance Detection**: Identifies and highlights significant buying/selling imbalances with configurable thresholds
6. **Comprehensive Alert System**: Monitors POC touches, Value Area entry/exit, and major volume imbalances
## HOW THE SCRIPT WORKS TECHNICALLY
### Core Volume Profile Methodology:
**1. Price Level Distribution:**
- Divides price range into user-defined rows (10-50 configurable)
- Calculates row height: `(Highest Price - Lowest Price) / Number of Rows`
- Distributes each bar's volume across price levels it touched proportionally
**2. Delta Volume Calculation Methods:**
**Price Action Method:**
```
Price Range = High - Low
Buy Pressure = (Close - Low) / Price Range
Sell Pressure = (High - Close) / Price Range
Buy Volume = Total Volume × Buy Pressure
Sell Volume = Total Volume × Sell Pressure
Delta = Buy Volume - Sell Volume
```
**Bid/Ask Estimation Method:**
```
Average Price = (High + Low + Close) / 3
Buy Volume = Close > Average ? Volume × 0.6 : Volume × 0.4
Sell Volume = Total Volume - Buy Volume
```
**Cumulative Method:**
```
Buy Volume = Close > Open ? Volume : Volume × 0.3
Sell Volume = Close ≤ Open ? Volume : Volume × 0.3
```
**3. Point of Control (POC) Identification:**
- Scans all price levels to find maximum volume concentration
- POC represents the price level with highest trading activity
- Acts as significant support/resistance level
- **Developing POC Feature**: Tracks POC evolution in real-time via blue dotted trail, showing how institutional interest migrates throughout the session. Upward POC migration indicates accumulation patterns, downward migration suggests distribution, providing early trend signals before price confirmation.
**4. Value Area Calculation:**
- Starts from POC and expands up/down to encompass 70% of total volume
- VAH (Value Area High): Upper boundary of value area
- VAL (Value Area Low): Lower boundary of value area
- Expansion algorithm prioritizes direction with higher volume
**5. Adaptive Range Selection:**
Based on profile type and timeframe optimization:
- **N Bars Back**: Fixed lookback period with performance optimization (20-500 bars)
- **Days Back**: Calendar-based analysis with automatic timeframe adjustment (1-365 days)
- **Session**: Current trading session or custom session times
### Performance Optimization Features:
- **Sampling Algorithm**: Reduces calculation load on large datasets while maintaining accuracy
- **Memory Management**: Clears previous drawings to prevent performance degradation
- **Safety Constraints**: Prevents excessive memory usage with configurable limits
## HOW TO USE THIS SCRIPT
### Initial Setup:
1. **Profile Configuration**: Select profile type based on trading style:
- N Bars Back: Precise control over data range
- Days Back: Intuitive calendar-based analysis
- Session: Real-time session development
2. **Row Density**: Set number of rows (30 default) - more rows = higher resolution, slower performance
3. **Delta Method**: Choose calculation method based on market type:
- Price Action: Best for trending markets
- Bid/Ask Estimate: Good for ranging markets
- Cumulative: Smoothed approach for volatile markets
4. **Visual Settings**: Configure colors, position (left/right), and display options
### Reading the Profile:
**Volume Bars:**
- **Length**: Represents relative volume at that price level
- **Color**: Green = net buying pressure, Red = net selling pressure
- **Intensity**: Darker colors indicate volume imbalances above threshold
**Key Levels:**
- **POC (Blue Line)**: Highest volume price - major support/resistance
- **VAH (Purple Dashed)**: Value Area High - upper boundary of fair value
- **VAL (Orange Dashed)**: Value Area Low - lower boundary of fair value
- **Value Area Fill**: Shaded region showing main trading range
**Developing POC Trail:**
- **Blue Dotted Lines**: Show real-time POC evolution throughout the session
- **Migration Patterns**: Upward trail indicates bullish accumulation, downward trail suggests bearish distribution
- **Early Signals**: POC movement often precedes price movement, providing advance warning of institutional activity
- **Institutional Footprints**: Reveals where smart money concentrated volume before final POC establishment
### Trading Applications:
**Support/Resistance Analysis:**
- POC acts as magnetic price level - expect reactions
- VAH/VAL provide intermediate support/resistance levels
- Profile edges show areas of low volume acceptance
**Developing POC Analysis:**
- **Upward Migration**: POC moving higher = institutional accumulation, bullish bias
- **Downward Migration**: POC moving lower = institutional distribution, bearish bias
- **Stable POC**: Tight clustering = balanced market, range-bound conditions
- **Early Trend Detection**: POC direction change often precedes price breakouts
**Entry Strategies:**
- Buy at VAL with POC as target (in uptrends)
- Sell at VAH with POC as target (in downtrends)
- Breakout plays above/below profile extremes
**Volume Imbalance Trading:**
- Strong buying imbalance (>60% threshold) suggests continued upward pressure
- Strong selling imbalance suggests continued downward pressure
- Imbalances near key levels provide high-probability setups
**Multi-Timeframe Context:**
- Use higher timeframe profiles for major levels
- Lower timeframe profiles for precise entries
- Session profiles for intraday trading structure

Multi-Band Trend LineThis Pine Script creates a versatile technical indicator called "Multi-Band Trend Line" that builds upon the concept of the popular "Follow Line Indicator" by Dreadblitz. While the original Follow Line Indicator uses simple trend detection to place a line at High or Low levels, this enhanced version combines multiple band-based trading strategies with dynamic trend line generation. The indicator supports five different band types and provides more sophisticated buy/sell signals based on price breakouts from various technical analysis bands.
Key Features
Multi-Band Support
The indicator supports five different band types:
- Bollinger Bands: Uses standard deviation to create bands around a moving average
- Keltner Channels: Uses ATR (Average True Range) to create bands around a moving average
- Donchian Channels: Uses the highest high and lowest low over a specified period
- Moving Average Envelopes: Creates bands as a percentage above and below a moving average
- ATR Bands: Uses ATR multiplier to create bands around a moving average
Dynamic Trend Line Generation (Enhanced Follow Line Concept)
- Similar to the Follow Line Indicator, the trend line is placed at High or Low levels based on trend direction
- Key Enhancement: Instead of simple trend detection, this version uses band breakouts to trigger trend changes
- When price breaks above the upper band (bullish signal), the trend line is set to the low (optionally adjusted with ATR) - similar to Follow Line's low placement
- When price breaks below the lower band (bearish signal), the trend line is set to the high (optionally adjusted with ATR) - similar to Follow Line's high placement
- The trend line acts as dynamic support/resistance, following the price action more precisely than the original Follow Line
ATR Filter (Follow Line Enhancement)
- Like the original Follow Line Indicator, an ATR filter can be selected to place the line at a more distance level than the normal mode settled at candles Highs/Lows
- When enabled, it adds/subtracts ATR value to provide more conservative trend line placement
- Helps reduce false signals in volatile markets
- This feature maintains the core philosophy of the Follow Line while adding more precision through band-based triggers
Signal Generation
- Buy Signal: Generated when trend changes from bearish to bullish (trend line starts rising)
- Sell Signal: Generated when trend changes from bullish to bearish (trend line starts falling)
- Signals are displayed as labels on the chart
Visual Elements
- Upper and lower bands are plotted in gray
- Trend line changes color based on direction (green for bullish, red for bearish)
- Background color changes based on trend direction
- Buy/sell signals are marked with labeled shapes
How It Works
Band Calculation: Based on the selected band type, upper and lower boundaries are calculated
Signal Detection: When price closes above the upper band or below the lower band, a breakout signal is generated
Trend Line Update: The trend line is updated based on the breakout direction and previous trend line value
Trend Direction: Determined by comparing current trend line with the previous value
Alert Generation: Buy/sell conditions trigger alerts and visual signals
Use Cases
Enhanced trend following strategies: More precise than basic Follow Line due to band-based triggers
Breakout trading: Multiple band types provide various breakout opportunities
Dynamic support/resistance identification: Combines Follow Line concept with band analysis
Multi-timeframe analysis with different band types: Choose the most suitable band for your timeframe

The ORB & Sessions Indicator provides a structured way to analyze intraday price action by combining two well-established concepts: global trading sessions and Opening Range Breakouts (ORB). It is designed to help traders identify where liquidity forms, when volatility expands, and how price behaves around key session and range levels.
Market Sessions Framework
Displays New York, London, and Asian sessions directly on the chart.
Each session can be shown as a highlighted background zone, or with extended highs and lows for liquidity tracking.
Session highs and lows remain projected forward after the session ends, allowing traders to monitor sweeps, retests, and reactions throughout the day.
Session times are fully customizable and can be aligned with the trader’s own timezone or broker feed.
This structure helps traders place price action into context, whether during quiet Asian trading, London-driven volatility, or New York reversals.
Opening Range Breakouts (ORB)
Supports three independent ORBs, each with configurable session times.
During the defined ORB window, the indicator captures the high and low of the range and plots a live updating box.
Once the ORB closes, the range locks and projects breakout targets (T1 and T2) based on user-defined risk-to-reward multiples.
Alerts are included for breakouts of highs, lows, or target levels.
Traders can use a single ORB or multiple—for example, tracking an Asian ORB into London, or London into New York.
Visualization and Clarity
Color-coded boxes and levels for sessions and ORBs.
Labels such as “Range High” and “Range Low” ensure clarity without clutter.
Flexible display settings allow highlighting full zones, just lines, or minimal markers depending on preference.
Practical Applications
This indicator is useful for:
Liquidity and volatility analysis: Observe where session highs and lows form and how they influence later trading.
Breakout and reversal strategies: Use ORB ranges to define risk and plan target projections.
Time-based research: Explore how different session overlaps or ORBs affect markets like indices, FX, and commodities.
Risk planning: Built-in R-multiple targets provide a consistent framework for evaluating setups.
Why It’s Different
Instead of showing sessions and ORBs separately, this indicator integrates them into one framework. Traders can:
See when and where sessions open and establish range levels.
Define precise ORBs with customizable timing.
Track breakout levels and targets in real time with alerts.
The result is a clear, time-structured view of the trading day, helping traders align setups with session dynamics and opening range behavior.
This indicator does not generate buy or sell signals. It is an analytical and visualization tool, providing structure for traders to better interpret intraday price action.
Gann Box LogicGann Box Logic
Overview
The Gann Box Logic indicator is a precision-based trading tool that combines the principles of Gann analysis with retracement logic to highlight high-probability zones of price action. It plots a structured box on the chart based on the previous day's high and low, overlays Fibonacci-derived retracement levels, and visually marks a critical “neutral zone” between 38.2% and 61.8% retracements.
This zone — shaded for emphasis — is a decision filter for traders:
- It warns against initiating trades in this area (low conviction zone).
- It identifies reversal pull targets when extremes are reached.
Core Principles Behind Gann Box Logic
Logic 1 — The Neutral Zone (38.2% ↔ 61.8%)
- The 38.2% and 61.8% retracement levels are key Fibonacci ratios often associated with consolidation or indecision.
- Price action between these two levels is considered a neutral, low-conviction zone.
- Trading Recommendation:
- Avoid initiating new trades while price remains within this shaded band.
- This zone tends to produce whipsaws and false signals.
- Wait for a decisive break above 61.8% or below 38.2% for clearer momentum.
- Why it matters:
- In Gann’s market structure thinking, the middle range of a swing is often a battleground where neither bulls nor bears are in full control.
- This is the zone where market makers often shake out weak hands before committing to a direction.
Logic 2 — Extremes Seek Balance (0% & 100% Reversal Bias)
- The indicator’s 0% and 100% levels represent the previous day’s low and high respectively.
- First Touch Rule:
- When the price touches 0% (previous low) or 100% (previous high) for the first time in the current session, there is a high probability it will attempt to revert toward the center zone (38.2% ↔ 61.8%).
- Trading Implication:
- If price spikes to an extreme, be alert for reversion trades toward the mid-zone rather than expecting a sustained breakout.
- Momentum traders may still pursue breakout trades, but this bias warns of potential pullbacks.
- Why it works:
- Extreme levels often trigger profit-taking by early entrants and counter-trend entries by mean-reversion traders.
- These forces naturally pull the market back toward equilibrium — often near the 50% level or within the shaded zone.
How the Indicator is Plotted
1. Previous Day High/Low Reference — The script locks onto the prior day’s range to establish the vertical bounds of the box.
2. Retracement Levels — Key Fibonacci levels plotted: 0%, 25%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, 75%, 100%.
3. Box Structure — Outer Border marks the full prior day range, Mid Fill Zone is shaded between 38.2% and 61.8%.
4. VWAP (Optional) — Daily VWAP overlay for intraday bias confirmation.
Practical Usage Guide
- Avoid Trades in Neutral Zone — Stay out of the shaded area unless you’re already in a trade from outside this zone.
- Watch for First Touch Extremes — First touch at 0% or 100% → anticipate a pullback toward the shaded zone.
- Breakout Confirmation — Only commit to breakout trades when price leaves the 38.2–61.8% zone with strong volume and momentum.
- VWAP Confluence — VWAP crossing through the shaded zone often signals a balance day — breakout expectations should be tempered.
Strengths of Gann Box Logic
- Removes noise trades during low-conviction periods.
- Encourages patience and discipline.
- Highlights key market turning points.
- Provides clear visual structure for both new and advanced traders.
Limitations & Warnings
- Not a standalone entry system — best used in conjunction with price action and volume analysis.
- Extreme moves can sometimes trend without reversion, especially during news-driven sessions.
- Works best on intraday timeframes when referencing the previous day’s range.
In Summary
The Gann Box Logic indicator’s philosophy can be boiled down to two golden rules:
1. Do nothing in the middle — Avoid trades between 38.2% and 61.8%.
2. Expect balance from extremes — First touches at 0% or 100% often pull back toward the shaded mid-zone.
This dual approach makes the indicator both a trade filter and a targeting guide, allowing traders to navigate markets with a structured, Gann-inspired framework.

Trishul Tap Signals (v6) — Liquidity Sweep + Imbalanced RetestTrishul Tap Signals — Liquidity Sweep + Imbalanced Retest
Type: Signal-only indicator (non-repainting)
Style: Price-action + Liquidity + Trend-following
Best for: Intraday & Swing Trading — any liquid market (stocks, futures, crypto, FX)
Timeframes: Any (5m–1D recommended)
Concept
The Trishul Tap setup is a liquidity-driven retest play inspired by order-flow and Smart Money Concepts.
It identifies one-sided impulse candles that also sweep liquidity (grab stops above/below a recent swing), then waits for price to retest the origin of that candle to enter in the trend direction.
Think of it as the three points of a trident:
Trend filter — Only signals with the prevailing trend.
Liquidity sweep — Candle takes out a recent swing high/low (stop-hunt).
Imbalanced retest — Price taps the candle’s open/low (bull) or open/high (bear).
Bullish Setup
Trend Filter: Price above EMA(200).
Impulse Candle:
Green close.
Upper wick ≥ (wickRatio × lower wick).
Lower wick ≤ (oppWickMaxFrac × full range).
Liquidity Sweep: Candle’s high exceeds the highest high of the last sweepLookback bars (excluding current).
Tap Entry: Buy signal triggers when price later taps the candle’s low or open (user choice) within expireBars.
Bearish Setup
Trend Filter: Price below EMA(200).
Impulse Candle:
Red close.
Lower wick ≥ (wickRatio × upper wick).
Upper wick ≤ (oppWickMaxFrac × full range).
Liquidity Sweep: Candle’s low breaks the lowest low of the last sweepLookback bars (excluding current).
Tap Entry: Sell signal triggers when price later taps the candle’s high or open (user choice) within expireBars.
Inputs
Trend EMA Length: Default 200.
Sweep Lookback: Number of bars for liquidity sweep check (default 20).
Wick Ratio: Required size ratio of dominant wick to opposite wick (default 2.0).
Opposite Wick Max %: Opposite wick must be ≤ this fraction of the candle’s range (default 25%).
Tap Tolerance (ticks): How close price must come to the level to count as a tap.
Expire Bars: Max bars after setup to allow a valid tap.
One Signal per Level: If ON, a base is “consumed” after first signal.
Plot Tap Levels: Show horizontal lines for active bases.
Show Setup Labels: Mark the origin sweep candle.
Plots & Visuals
EMA Trend Line — trend filter reference.
Tap Levels —
Green = bullish base (origin candle’s low/open).
Red = bearish base (origin candle’s high/open).
Labels — Show where the setup candle formed.
Signals —
BUY: triangle-up below bar at bullish tap.
SELL: triangle-down above bar at bearish tap.
Alerts
Two built-in conditions:
BUY Signal (Trishul Tap) — triggers on bullish tap.
SELL Signal (Trishul Tap) — triggers on bearish tap.
Set via Alerts panel → Condition = this indicator → Choose signal type.
How to Trade It
Use in liquid markets with clean price structure.
Confirm with HTF structure, volume spikes, or other confluence if desired.
Place stop just beyond the tap level (or ATR-based).
Target 1–2R or trail behind structure.
Why It Works
Liquidity sweep traps traders entering late (breakout buyers or panic sellers) and forces them to exit in the opposite direction, fueling your entry.
Wick imbalance confirms directional aggression by one side.
Trend filter keeps you aligned with the market’s dominant flow.
Retest entry lets you enter at a better price with reduced risk.
Non-Repainting
Setups form only on confirmed bar closes.
Signals trigger only on later bars that tap the stored level.
No lookahead functions are used.

Engulfing Pattern[SpeculationLab]Overview
This script detects two types of engulfing / outer bar patterns and marks them directly on the chart:
Body Engulfing – The current candle’s body range (open–close) completely covers the entire range (high–low) of the previous candle.
Range Engulfing – The current candle’s full range (high–low, including wicks) completely covers the entire range (high–low) of the previous candle.
Direction logic:
Bull – The previous candle is bearish and the selected engulfing rule is met.
Bear – The previous candle is bullish and the selected engulfing rule is met.
Optional: Require the current candle to have the opposite color of the previous one.
This is an open-source pattern recognition tool for learning, backtesting, and chart review. It is not financial advice.
Key Features
Two detection modes:
body – Body engulfs previous entire range
range – Wicks engulf previous entire range
Direction detection based on the previous candle’s color, with optional opposite-color confirmation
Chart markers: “BULL” /“BEAR” above bars
Alert-ready: built-in conditions for bullish and bearish engulfing patterns
Parameters
Engulfing Type: body / range
body: Current body must fully cover the previous candle’s high–low range
range: Current full range (high–low) must fully cover the previous candle’s high–low range
Require Opposite Previous Candle (default: off):
When enabled, the engulfing pattern must also have the opposite color from the previous candle to trigger
Usage Tips
Engulfing patterns are price action structures; combine with trend, key levels, and volume for context
Signals confirm on bar close (barstate.isconfirmed) to reduce repainting
Can be used with personal risk management rules (stop-loss, take-profit, filters)

Prev D/W/M + Asia & London Levels [Oeditrades]Prev D/W/M + Asia & London Levels
Author: Oeditrades
Platform: Pine Script® v6
What it does
Plots only the most recent, fully completed:
Previous Day / Week / Month highs & lows
Asia and London session highs & lows
Levels are drawn as true horizontal lines from the period/session start and extended to the right for easy confluence reading. The script is non-repainting.
How it works
Prev Day/Week/Month: Uses completed HTF candles (high / low ) so values are fixed for the entire next period.
Sessions (NY time): Asia (default 20:00–03:00) and London (default 03:00–08:00) are tracked in America/New_York time. High/low are locked when the session ends, and the line is anchored at that session’s start.
Inputs & customization
Visibility: toggle Previous Day/Week/Month, Asia, London, and labels.
Colors: highs default red; lows default green (user-configurable). Session highs default pink, lows aqua (also editable).
Style: line style (solid/dotted/dashed) and width.
Sessions: editable time windows for Asia and London (still interpreted in New York time).
Disclaimer: optional on-chart disclaimer panel with editable text.
Notes
Works on any timeframe. For intraday charts, the HTF values remain constant until the next HTF bar completes.
If your market’s overnight hours differ, simply adjust the session windows in Inputs.
Lines intentionally show only the latest completed period/session to keep charts clean.
Use cases
Quick view of PDH/PDL, PWH/PWL, PMH/PML for bias and liquidity.
Intraday planning around Asia/London range breaks, retests, and overlaps with prior levels.

Cumulative Volume Delta (SB-1) 2.0
📈 Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) — Stair-Step + Threshold Alerts
🔍 Overview
This Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) tool visualizes aggressive buying and selling pressure in the market by plotting candlestick-style bars based on volume delta. It helps traders understand which side — buyers or sellers — is exerting more control on lower timeframes and highlights momentum shifts through stair-step patterns and delta threshold breaks. Resets to zero at EOD
Ideal for futures traders, scalpers, and intraday strategists looking for orderflow-based confirmation.
🧠 What Is CVD?
CVD (Cumulative Volume Delta) measures the difference between market buys and sells over a specific timeframe. When the delta is rising, it suggests buyers are being more aggressive. Falling delta suggests seller dominance.
This script aggregates volume delta from a lower timeframe and plots it in a higher timeframe context, allowing you to track microstructure shifts within larger candles.
📊 Features
✅ CVD Candlesticks
Each bar represents volume delta as an OHLC-style candle using:
Open: Delta at the start of the bar
High/Low: Peak delta range
Close: Final delta value at bar close
Teal candles = Net buying pressure
Red candles = Net selling pressure
✅ Threshold Levels (Key Visual Zones)
The script includes horizontal dashed lines at:
+5,000 and +10,000 → Signify strong buying pressure
-5,000 and -10,000 → Signify strong selling pressure
0 line → Neutrality line (no net pressure)
These levels act as volume-based support/resistance zones and breakout confirmation tools. For example:
A CVD cross above +5,000 shows buyers taking control
A CVD cross above +10,000 implies strong bullish momentum
A CVD cross below -5,000 or -10,000 signals intense selling pressure
📈 Stair-Step Pattern Detection
Detects two specific volume-based continuation setups:
Bullish Stair-Step: Both the high and low of the CVD candle are higher than the previous candle
Bearish Stair-Step: Both the high and low of the CVD candle are lower than the previous candle
These patterns often appear during trending moves and serve as confirmation of strength or continuation.
Visual markers:
🟢 Green triangles below bars = Bullish stair-step
🔴 Red triangles above bars = Bearish stair-step
🔔 Alert Conditions
Get real-time alerts when:
Bullish Stair-Step is detected
Bearish Stair-Step is detected
CVD crosses above +5,000
CVD crosses below -5,000
📢 Alerts only trigger on crossover, not every time CVD remains above or below. This avoids repetitive notifications.
⚙️ Inputs & Customization
Anchor Timeframe: The higher timeframe to which CVD data is applied (default: 1D)
Lower Timeframe: The timeframe used to calculate the CVD delta (default: 5 minutes)
Optional Override: Use custom timeframe toggle to force your own micro timeframe
📌 How to Use This CVD Indicator (Step-by-Step Guide)
✅ 1. Confirm Bias Using the Zero Line
The zero line (0 CVD) represents neutral pressure — neither buyers nor sellers are dominating.
Use it as your first filter:
🔼 If CVD is above 0 and rising → Buyer control
🔽 If CVD is below 0 and falling → Seller control
🧠 Tip: CVD rising while price is consolidating may signal hidden buyer interest.
✅ 2. Watch for Crosses of Key Levels: +5,000 and +10,000
These levels act as momentum thresholds:
Level Signal Type What It Means
+5,000 Buyer breakout Buyers are starting to dominate
+10,000 Strong bull bias Strong institutional or algorithmic buying flow
-5,000 Seller breakout Sellers are taking control
-10,000 Strong bear bias Heavy selling pressure is entering the market
Wait for CVD to cross above +5K or below -5K to confirm the active side.
Use these crossovers as entry triggers, breakout confirmations, or trade filters.
🔔 Alerts fire only when the level is first crossed, not every bar above/below.
✅ 3. Use Stair-Step Patterns for Continuation Confirmation
The indicator shows stair-step patterns using triangle signals:
🟢 Green triangle below bar = Bullish stair-step
Suggests a higher high and higher low in delta → buyers stepping up
🔴 Red triangle above bar = Bearish stair-step
Suggests lower highs and lower lows in delta → selling pressure building
Use stair-step signals:
To confirm a continuation of trend
As an entry or add-on signal
Especially after a threshold breakout
🧠 Example: If CVD breaks above +5K and forms bullish stairs → confirms strong trend, ideal for momentum entries.
✅ 4. Combine with Price Action or Structure
CVD works best when used with price, not in isolation. For example:
📉 Price makes a new low but CVD doesn’t → potential bullish divergence
📈 CVD surges while price lags → buyers are absorbing, breakout likely
Use it with:
VWAP
Orderblocks
Liquidity sweeps
Break of market structure/MSS/BOS
✅ 5.
Set Anchor Timeframe = Daily
Set Lower Timeframe = 5 minutes (default)
This lets you:
See intraday flow inside daily bars
Confirm whether a daily candle is being built on net buying or selling
🧠 You’re essentially seeing intra-bar aggression within a bigger time structure.
🧭 Example Trading Setup
Bullish Scenario:
CVD is rising and above 0
CVD crosses above +5,000 → alert fires
Green stair-step appears
Price breaks local resistance or liquidity sweep completes
✅ Consider long entry with structure and CVD alignment
🎯 Place stops below last stair-step or structural low
📌 Final Notes
This tool does not repaint and is designed to work in real-time across all futures, crypto, and equity instruments that support volume data. If your symbol does not provide volume, the script will notify you.
Use it in confluence with VWAP, liquidity zones, or structure breaks for high-confidence trades.
Previous Levels by HAZEDPrevious Day/Week/Month High/Low Levels with 50% Equilibrium
🎯 Key Features:
- Previous Period Levels: Automatically plots previous Day, Week, and Month highs and lows
- 50% Equilibrium Zones: Shows the midpoint between each period's high and low
- Precise Line Placement: Lines start from the exact bar where the high/low occurred (not period beginning)
- Clean Visual Design: Solid lines for key levels, semi-transparent for equilibrium zones
- Customizable Display: Toggle each timeframe independently with custom colors and styles
📊 How It Works:
The indicator identifies the previous period's high and low points, then draws horizontal lines starting from the exact time those levels were created. The 50% equilibrium levels mark the midpoint between each period's range, providing additional support/resistance reference points.
⚙️ Settings:

Key Session LevelsKey Session Levels - Indicator Guide
Created by: MecarderoAurum
Why This Indicator Exists: An Overview
The "Key Session Levels" indicator is a comprehensive tool for day traders that automatically plots the most critical price levels from the current premarket and the previous two full trading days. These levels are watched by countless traders and often act as significant areas of support and resistance.
This indicator provides a clear, objective map of these key zones, helping traders anticipate potential turning points, identify areas of confluence, and make more informed trading decisions without having to manually draw and manage these lines every day.
Features & How to Use Them
This indicator plots several types of important historical levels on your chart. Each one is fully customizable.
1. Premarket Levels (PMH / PML)
What they are: The highest (PMH) and lowest (PML) prices reached during the current day's premarket session (04:00 - 09:30 ET).
Why they matter: The premarket high and low are the first significant levels established for the trading day. They often act as initial support or resistance once the market opens.
How to use them: In the settings under "Premarket Levels," you can toggle the visibility of the PMH and PML, and customize their color, line style, and width.
2. Prior Day Levels (PDH / PDL / PDM / PDP)
What they are: The key price points from the previous full trading day.
PDH: Prior Day High
PDL: Prior Day Low
PDM: Prior Day Midpoint (the exact middle of the PDH and PDL)
PDP: Prior Day Pivot (a classic pivot point calculation)
Why they matter: These are often the most important levels for the current trading day. The market frequently tests the previous day's high and low.
How to use them: Under the "Prior Day" settings, you can enable or disable each of these four levels and customize their appearance.
3. 2-Day Prior Levels (PDH2 / PDL2 / etc.)
What they are: The same set of key levels (High, Low, Mid, Pivot) from two trading days ago.
Why they matter: These levels can still be highly relevant, especially if the market is trading within a multi-day range or returning to test a significant prior level.
How to use them: Under the "2-Day Prior" settings, you can customize the visibility and style of these levels. They are styled with more transparency by default to distinguish them from the more recent prior day's levels.
4. General Settings
Days of History: This setting allows you to control how many past days of historical lines are kept on your chart. This is excellent for back-testing strategies and seeing how price has reacted to these levels in the past.
Label Settings: You can customize the color and size of the on-chart labels (e.g., "PDH," "PML") for better visibility.
Sample Strategy: The Key Level Rejection
This strategy focuses on using the indicator's levels to identify potential reversals at key areas of support or resistance.
Identify a Key Level: Watch as the price approaches a significant level plotted by the indicator, such as the Prior Day High (PDH) or the Premarket Low (PML).
Look for Rejection: Do not trade simply because the price touches the level. Wait for a price action signal that confirms the level is holding. This could be a bearish engulfing candle or a shooting star pattern at a resistance level like PDH, or a bullish hammer or morning star pattern at a support level like PML.
Entry: Once you see a clear rejection candle, enter a trade in the direction of the rejection. For a bearish rejection at the PDH, you would enter a short position.
Stop-Loss: A logical place for a stop-loss is just above the high of the rejection candle (for a short trade) or just below the low of the rejection candle (for a long trade). This defines your risk clearly.
Profit Target: Your first profit target could be the next key level plotted by the indicator. For example, if you shorted a rejection at the PDH, your first target might be the Premarket High (PMH) or the day's opening price.
Pre-Market High and LowThis Pine Script indicator automatically plots the pre-market high and low price levels for each trading day, helping traders identify key support and resistance zones based on pre-market activity. Designed for stocks and other assets with pre-market sessions, it draws horizontal lines at the pre-market high and low prices at the regular market open (9:30 AM EST) and resets automatically at the start of each new trading day.
Features:
Automatic Daily Reset: Tracks pre-market highs and lows without requiring manual date changes.
Customizable Timeframe: Set your preferred pre-market session (default: 4:00 AM to 9:30 AM EST).
Flexible Styling: Choose line styles (Solid, Dashed, Dotted) and colors for high/low lines.
Adjustable Panel Size: Control how far the lines extend across the chart (default: 50 bars).
Optional Labels: Toggle labels to display "Pre-Market High" and "Pre-Market Low" at the market open.
Overlay Display: Lines and labels are plotted directly on the price chart for easy reference.
HSI1! First 30m Candle Strategy (15m Chart)## HSI1! First 30-Minute Candle Breakout Strategy (15m Chart) — Description
### Overview
This strategy is designed for trading **Hang Seng Index (HSI) Futures** on a 15-minute chart. It uses the price range established during the first 30 minutes of the Hong Kong main session (09:15–09:44:59) to define key breakout levels for a systematic trade entry each day.
### How the Strategy Works
#### 1. Reference Candle Period
- **Aggregation Window:** The strategy monitors the first two 15-minute bars of the session (09:15:00–09:44:59 HKT).
- **Range Capture:** It records the highest and lowest prices (the "reference high/low") during this window.
#### 2. Trade Setup
- After the 09:45 bar completes, the reference range is locked in.
- Throughout the rest of the trading day (within session hours), the strategy looks for breakouts beyond the reference range.
#### 3. Entry Rules
- **Long Entry (Buy):**
- Triggered if price rises to or above the reference high.
- Only entered if the user's settings permit "Buy Only" or "Both".
- **Short Entry (Sell):**
- Triggered if price falls to or below the reference low.
- Only entered if the user's settings permit "Sell Only" or "Both".
- **Single trade per day:**
- Once any trade executes, no additional trades are opened until the next session.
#### 4. Exit Rules
- **Take Profit (TP):**
- Target profit is set to a distance equal to the initial range added above the long entry (or subtracted below the short entry).
- Example: For a 100-point range, a long trade targets entry + 100 points.
- **Stop Loss (SL):**
- Longs are stopped out if price falls back to the session's reference low; shorts are stopped out if price rallies to the reference high.
#### 5. Session Control
- Active only within the regular day session (09:15–12:00 and 13:00–16:00 HKT).
- Trade tracking resets each new trading day.
#### 6. Trade Direction Manual Setting
- A user input allows restriction to "Buy Only", "Sell Only" or "Both" directions, providing discretion over daily bias.
### Example Workflow
| Step | Action |
|---------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| 09:15–09:44 | Aggregate first two 15m candles; record daily high/low |
| After 09:45 | Wait for a breakout (price crossing either the high or the low) |
| Long trade triggered | Enter at the reference high, target is "high + range", SL is at the low |
| Short trade triggered | Enter at the reference low, target is "low - range", SL at the high |
| Trade management | No more trades for the day, regardless of further breakouts |
| End of session (if open) | Trades may be closed per further logic or left to strategy to handle |
### Key Features and Benefits
- **Discipline:** Only one trade per day, minimizing overtrading.
- **Clarity:** Transparent entry/exit rules; no discretionary execution.
- **Flexibility:** User can bias system to buy-only, sell-only, or allow both, depending on trend or personal view.
- **Simple Risk Control:** Pre-defined stop loss and profit target for every trade.
- **Works best in:** Trending, breakout-prone markets with a history of impulsive moves early in the session.
This strategy is ideal for systematic traders looking to capture the Hang Seng's early session momentum, with robust rule-based management and minimal intervention.
The Kyber Cell's – TTM Squeeze ProThe Kyber Cell’s TTM Squeeze Pro
TTM Squeeze + ALMA + VWAP for Precision Trade Timing
⸻
1. Introduction
Kyber Cell’s Squeeze Pro is a comprehensive, all-in-one overlay indicator built on top of John Carter’s famous TTM Squeeze concept. It integrates advanced momentum and trend analysis using Arnaud Legoux Moving Averages (ALMA), a scroll-aware VWAP with optional deviation bands, and a clean, user-friendly visual system. The goal is simple: give traders a clear and configurable chart that identifies price compression, detects release moments, confirms direction, and helps manage risk and reward visually and effectively.
This tool is intended for traders of all styles — scalpers, swing traders, or intraday strategists — looking for cleaner signals, better visual cues, and more confidence in entry/exit timing.
⸻
2. Core Concepts
At its heart, the Squeeze Pro builds an in-chart visualization of the TTM Squeeze, a strategy that identifies when price volatility compresses inside a Bollinger Band that is narrower than a Keltner Channel. These moments often precede explosive breakouts. This version categorizes squeezes into three levels of compression:
• Blue Dot – Low Compression
• Orange Dot – Medium Compression
• Red Dot – High Compression
When the squeeze “fires” (i.e., the Bollinger Bands expand beyond all Keltner thresholds), the indicator flips to a Green Dot, signaling potential entry if confirmed by trend direction.
The indicator also includes a momentum model using linear regression on smoothed price deviation to determine directional bias. Momentum is further reinforced by a customizable trend engine, allowing you to switch between EMA-21 or HMA 34/144 logic.
An ALMA ribbon is plotted across the chart to represent smoothed trend strength with minimal lag, and a scroll-aware VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price) line, optionally with ±σ bands, helps confirm mean-reversion or momentum continuation setups.
⸻
3. Visual Components
Squeeze Pro replaces the traditional histogram with bar coloring logic based on your selected overlay mode:
• Momentum Mode colors bars based on whether momentum is rising or falling and in which direction (aqua/blue for bullish, red/yellow for bearish).
• Trend Mode colors bars using EMA or HMA logic to identify whether price is in a bullish, bearish, or neutral trend state.
A colored backdrop is triggered when a squeeze fires and momentum direction is confirmed. It remains green for bullish runs and red for bearish runs. The background disappears when the trend exhausts or reverses.
Each squeeze level (low, medium, high) is plotted as tiny dots above or below candles, with configurable colors. On the exact bar where the squeeze fires, the indicator optionally plots entry markers — either arrows or triangles — which can be placed with adjustable padding using ATR. These provide an at-a-glance signal of possible long or short entries.
EXPERIMENTAL : For risk and reward management, protective stop lines and limit targets can be toggled on. Stops are calculated using either recent swing highs/lows or a fixed ATR multiple, depending on user preference. Limit targets are calculated from entry price using ATR-based projections.
All colors are customizable.
⸻
4. Multi-Timeframe Squeeze Panel
An optional MTF Squeeze Panel appears in the top-right corner of the chart, displaying the squeeze status across multiple timeframes — from 1-minute to Monthly. Each timeframe is color-coded:
• Red for High Compression
• Orange for Medium Compression
• Blue for Low Compression
• Yellow for Open/No Compression
This provides rapid context for whether multiple timeframes are simultaneously compressing (a common precursor to explosive moves), helping traders align higher- and lower-timeframe signals. Colors are customizable.
The MTF panel dynamically adjusts to chart space and only renders the selected intervals for clarity and performance.
⸻
5. Inputs and Configuration Options
Squeeze Pro offers a rich configuration suite:
• Squeeze Settings: Control the Bollinger Band standard deviation, and three separate Keltner Channel multipliers (for low, medium, and high compression zones).
• ALMA Controls: Adjust the smoothing length, offset, and σ factor to control ribbon sensitivity.
• VWAP Options: Toggle VWAP on/off and optionally show ±σ bands for mean reversion signals.
• Entry Markers: Customize marker shape (arrow or triangle), size (tiny to huge), color, and padding using ATR multipliers.
• Stops and Targets:
• Choose between Swing High/Low or ATR-based stop logic.
• Define separate ATR lengths and multipliers for stops and targets.
• Independently toggle their visibility and color.
• Bar Coloring Mode: Select either Momentum or Trend logic for bar overlays.
• Trend Engine: Choose between EMA-21 or HMA 34/144 for identifying trend direction.
• Squeeze Dot Colors: Customize the colors for each compression level and release state.
• MTF Panel: Toggle visibility per timeframe — from 1m to Monthly.
This high degree of customization ensures that the indicator can adapt to nearly any trading style or preference.
⸻
6. Trade Workflow Suggestions
To get the most out of this tool, traders can follow a consistent workflow:
1. Watch Dot Progression: Blue → Orange → Red indicates increasing compression and likelihood of breakout.
2. Enter on Green Dot: When the squeeze fires (green dot), confirm entry direction with bar color and backdrop.
3. Use Confirmation Tools:
• ALMA should slope in the trade direction.
• VWAP should support the price move or confirm expansion away from mean.
4. Manage Risk and Reward (experimental):
• Respect stop-loss placements (Swing/ATR).
• Use ATR-based limit targets if enabled.
5. Exit:
• Consider exiting when momentum crosses zero.
• Or exit when the background color disappears, signaling potential trend exhaustion.
⸻
7. Alerts
Includes built-in alert conditions to notify you when a squeeze fires in either direction:
• “Squeeze Long”: Triggers when a green dot appears and momentum is bullish.
• “Squeeze Short”: Triggers when a green dot appears and momentum is bearish.
You can use these alerts for automation or to stay notified of new setups even when away from the screen.

Apex Edge - VantageApex Edge – Vantage
Quarter-Wick Reversal System | Price Action Based | Non-Repainting | Visual Confirmation Tool
Overview:
Apex Edge – Vantage is a precision price action indicator built to assist traders in identifying high-probability reversal entries — not based on indicators, but on how candles behave at their extremes.
This tool implements a clean, repeatable framework that reflects how I personally trade:
Spot a candle that closes with strong directional intent,
Then wait for a controlled pullback into the outer quarter,
And strike — only if price respects that line.
There’s no magic here — just raw, tactical logic visualized clearly on your chart. It's not designed to predict the market — it's built to respond when price offers you Vantage.
Core Logic:
Dot Detection – Final Quarter Close Candles
A green dot prints below a bullish candle if it closes within the top 25% of its wick-to-wick range.
A red dot prints above a bearish candle if it closes within the bottom 25% of its range.
These dots signify candles that made a strong, deliberate move in one direction — where price was pushed to an extreme and held that extreme into the close. These candles often signal institutional intent or momentum imbalance.
Entry Confirmation – Controlled Wick Rebalance
On the very next candle only, price must wick into the prior dot candle's outer quarter — but must not pass beyond it.
For buy entries, the wick must enter the bottom 25% of the previous green dot candle, but not dip below it.
For sell entries, the wick must reach into the top 25% of the red dot candle, but not exceed it.
This wick into the quarter is seen as a controlled rebalancing — a tactical reaction back into the origin zone before potential continuation.
Arrow Printing – Visual Entry Signal
Once the entry criteria are confirmed, an arrow is printed after the candle closes.
This arrow continues to print on each new candle as long as price does not violate the original entry zone — giving visual confirmation that the trade thesis is still valid.
If price breaks above/below the quarter range, the arrow disappears.
This ongoing confirmation is useful for staying in trades, managing risk, or spotting failed setups early.
Automatic Stop Loss Level
A horizontal Stop Loss line is drawn from the extreme wick of the original dot candle.
For buy entries, SL is placed below the green dot candle's low.
For sell entries, SL is placed above the red dot candle's high.
This provides immediate risk context — perfect for traders using limit orders or looking to scale in.
Coding Logic:
This script uses plotshape() and plot() functions for all visual elements.
Dot candles are identified using quarter-range logic via:
pinescript
Copy
Edit
close >= high - (high - low) * 0.25 // for bullish
close <= low + (high - low) * 0.25 // for bearish
Entry validation logic triggers only on the next candle, using:
pinescript
Copy
Edit
low >= quarterLine and low <= high // for buy entries
high <= quarterLine and high >= low // for sell entries
Arrows and SL lines are plotted only on closed candles, ensuring non-repainting behavior.
alertcondition() is used for real-time alerts on valid buy/sell triggers.
How I Personally Use It:
I wait for a dot to print — this shows directional conviction.
On the next candle, I watch for a tap into the outer quarter.
If the wick meets the criteria and the candle closes, I’ll execute manually at the close of that candle.
As long as the arrow remains on the chart, I know the setup hasn’t been invalidated.
I combine this with market structure, session timing, and liquidity context to build confluence around each trade.
Alerts Included:
Buy Entry Alert: When a green arrow prints (entry confirmed)
Sell Entry Alert: When a red arrow prints (entry confirmed)
These fire once per confirmed signal, allowing you to react in real-time or automate if desired.
Who This Is For:
Manual traders who want clean price-based entries
Anyone who uses market structure, SMC, or liquidity concepts
Traders looking to replace indicators with pure candle logic
Discretionary or semi-systematic traders who want visual tools to guide their decisions
Final Word
Apex Edge – Vantage doesn’t predict price — it shows you where price is offering you control.
This is a surgical tool designed to help you act only when the market gives you a measurable edge — and to stay in the trade as long as that edge holds.
If you're ready to stop chasing trades and start striking from a position of Vantage, then this tool belongs on your chart.
HTF Candle Extremes Zigzag (Drawn on LTF)HTF Candle Extremes Zigzag (Drawn on LTF)
This indicator plots zigzag lines connecting the extremes (highs and lows) of Higher Timeframe (HTF) candles directly on your lower timeframe (LTF) chart. It visually highlights trend changes and HTF candle structure by drawing colored lines representing uptrends and downtrends based on HTF candle extremes.
"Key Features"
Higher Timeframe Tracking: Select any HTF to track candle extremes using the built-in security function.
Zigzag Lines: Connects HTF candle lows to highs in an intuitive zigzag pattern.
Trend Indication: Uptrend lines are green, downtrend lines are red (customizable colors).
Customizable Line Width: Adjust the thickness of the zigzag lines for better visibility.
Drawn on Lower Timeframe: All lines appear on your active lower timeframe chart, allowing easy visual correlation.
"How It Works"
The script fetches the open, high, low, close, and time data of the specified HTF candle. It detects new HTF bars and identifies trend direction changes by comparing the highs and lows of consecutive HTF candles.
- When an uptrend is detected, vertical lines are drawn from low to high of the HTF candle, connected to the previous extreme low.
- When a downtrend is detected, vertical lines are drawn from high to low, connected to the previous extreme high.
- Transitions between trends are highlighted by connecting the last extreme of the previous trend to the current extreme, creating a clean zigzag pattern.
Usage Notes:
Ideal for traders who want to visualize HTF market structure and trend changes while analyzing price action on lower timeframes.

All SMAs Bullish/Bearish Screener (Enhanced)All SMAs Bullish/Bearish Screener Enhanced: Uncover High-Conviction Trend Alignments with Confidence
Description:
Are you ready to elevate your trading from mere guesswork to precise, data-driven decisions? The "All SMAs Bullish/Bearish Screener Enhanced" is not just another indicator; it's a sophisticated, yet user-friendly, trend-following powerhouse designed to cut through market noise and pinpoint high-probability trading opportunities. Built on the foundational strength of comprehensive Moving Average confluence and fortified with critical confirmation signals from Momentum, Volume, and Relative Strength, this script empowers you to identify truly robust trends and manage your trades with unparalleled clarity.
The Power of Multi-Factor Confluence: Beyond Simple Averages
In the unpredictable world of financial markets, true strength or weakness is rarely an isolated event. It's the harmonious alignment of multiple technical factors that signals a high-conviction move. While our original "All SMAs Bullish/Bearish Screener" intelligently identified stocks where price was consistently above or below a full spectrum of Simple Moving Averages (5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200), this Enhanced version takes it a crucial step further.
We've integrated a powerful three-pronged confirmation system to filter out weaker signals and highlight only the most compelling setups:
Momentum (Rate of Change - ROC): A strong trend isn't just about price direction; it's about the speed and intensity of that movement. Positive momentum confirms that buyers are still aggressively pushing price higher (for bullish signals), while negative momentum validates selling pressure (for bearish signals).
Volume: No trend is truly trustworthy without the backing of smart money. Above-average volume accompanying an "All SMAs" alignment signifies strong institutional participation and conviction behind the move. It separates genuine trend starts from speculative whims.
Relative Strength Index (RSI): This versatile oscillator ensures the trend isn't just "there," but that it's developing healthily. We use RSI to confirm a bullish bias (above 50) or a bearish bias (below 50), adding another layer of confidence to the direction.
When the price aligns above ALL six critical SMAs, and is simultaneously confirmed by robust positive momentum, healthy volume, and a bullish RSI bias, you have an exceptionally strong "STRONGLY BULLISH" signal. This confluence often precedes sustained upward moves, signaling prime accumulation phases. Conversely, a "STRONGLY BEARISH" signal, where price is below ALL SMAs with negative momentum, confirming volume, and a bearish RSI bias, indicates powerful distribution and potential for significant downside.
How to Use This Enhanced Screener:
Add to Chart: Go to TradingView's Pine Editor, paste the script, and click "Add to Chart."
Customize Parameters: Fine-tune the lengths of your SMAs, RSI, Momentum, and Volume averages via the indicator's settings. Experiment to find what best suits your trading style and the assets you trade.
Choose Your Timeframe Wisely:
Daily (1D) and 4-Hour (240 min) are highly recommended. These timeframes cut through intraday noise and provide more reliable, actionable signals for swing and position trading.
Shorter timeframes (e.g., 15min, 60min) can be used by advanced day traders for very short-term entries, but be aware of increased volatility and noise.
Visual Confirmation:
Green/Red Triangles: Appear on your chart, indicating confirmed bullish or bearish signals.
Background Color: The chart background will subtly turn lime green for "STRONGLY BULLISH" and red for "STRONGLY BEARISH" conditions.
On-Chart Status Table: A clear table displays the current signal status ("STRONGLY BULLISH/BEARISH," or "SMAs Mixed") for immediate feedback.
Set Up Alerts (Your Primary Screener Tool): This is the game-changer! Create custom alerts on TradingView based on the "Confirmed Bullish Trade" and "Confirmed Bearish Trade" conditions. Receive instant notifications (email, pop-up, mobile) for any stock in your watchlist that meets these stringent criteria. This allows you to scan the entire market effortlessly and act decisively.
Strategic Stop-Loss Placement: The Trader's Lifeline
Even the most robust signals can fail. Protecting your capital is paramount. For this trend-following strategy, your stop-loss should be placed where the underlying trend structure is broken.
For a "STRONGLY BULLISH" Trade: Place your stop-loss just below the most recent significant swing low (higher low). This is the last point where buyers stepped in to support the price. If price breaks below this, your bullish thesis is invalidated.
For a "STRONGLY BEARISH" Trade: Place your stop-loss just above the most recent significant swing high (lower high). If price breaks above this, your bearish thesis is invalidated.
Alternatively, consider placing your stop-loss just below the 20-period SMA (for bullish trades) or above the 20-period SMA (for bearish trades). A significant close beyond this intermediate-term average often indicates a critical shift in momentum. Always ensure your chosen stop-loss adheres to your pre-defined risk per trade (e.g., 1-2% of capital).
Disciplined Profit Booking: Maximizing Gains
Just as important as knowing when you're wrong is knowing when to take profits.
Trailing Stop-Loss: As your trade moves into profit, trail your stop-loss upwards (for longs) or downwards (for shorts). You can trail it using:
Previous Swing Lows/Highs: Move your stop to just below each new higher low (for longs) or just above each new lower high (for shorts).
A Moving Average (e.g., 10-period or 20-period SMA): If price closes below your chosen trailing SMA, exit. This allows you to ride the trend while protecting accumulated profits.
Target Levels: Identify potential resistance levels (for longs) or support levels (for shorts) using pivot points, previous highs/lows, or Fibonacci extensions. Consider taking partial profits at these levels and letting the rest run with a trailing stop.
Loss of Confluence: If the "STRONGLY BULLISH/BEARISH" condition ceases to be met (e.g., RSI crosses below 50, or volume drops significantly), this can be a signal to reduce or exit your position, even if your stop-loss hasn't been hit.
The "All SMAs Bullish/Bearish Screener Enhanced" is your comprehensive partner in navigating the markets. By combining robust trend identification with critical confirmation signals and disciplined risk management, you're equipped to make smarter, more confident trading decisions. Add it to your favorites and unlock a new level of precision in your trading journey!

Ticker Pulse Meter BasicPairs nicely with the Contrarian 100 MA located here:
and the Enhanced Stock Ticker with 50MA vs 200MA located here:
Description
The Ticker Pulse Meter Basic is a dynamic Pine Script v6 indicator designed to provide traders with a visual representation of a stock’s price position relative to its short-term and long-term ranges, enabling clear entry and exit signals for long-only trading strategies. By calculating three normalized metrics—Percent Above Long & Above Short, Percent Above Long & Below Short, and Percent Below Long & Below Short—this indicator offers a unique "pulse" of market sentiment, plotted as stacked area charts in a separate pane. With customizable lookback periods, thresholds, and signal plotting options, it empowers traders to identify optimal entry points and profit-taking levels. The indicator leverages Pine Script’s force_overlay feature to plot signals on either the main price chart or the indicator pane, making it versatile for various trading styles.
Key Features
Pulse Meter Metrics:
Computes three percentages based on short-term (default: 50 bars) and long-term (default: 200 bars) lookback periods:
Percent Above Long & Above Short: Measures price strength when above both short and long ranges (green area).
Percent Above Long & Below Short: Indicates mixed momentum (orange area).
Percent Below Long & Below Short: Signals weakness when below both ranges (red area).
Flexible Signal Plotting:
Toggle between plotting entry (blue dots) and exit (white dots) signals on the main price chart (location.abovebar/belowbar) or in the indicator pane (location.top/bottom) using the Plot Signals on Main Chart option.
Entry/Exit Logic:
Long Entry: Triggered when Percent Above Long & Above Short crosses above the high threshold (default: 20%) and Percent Below Long & Below Short is below the low threshold (default: 40%).
Long Exit: Triggered when Percent Above Long & Above Short crosses above the profit-taking level (default: 95%).
Visual Enhancements:
Plots stacked area charts with semi-transparent colors (green, orange, red) for intuitive trend analysis.
Displays threshold lines for entry (high/low) and profit-taking levels.
Includes a ticker and timeframe table in the top-right corner for quick reference.
Alert Conditions: Supports alerts for long entry and exit signals, integrable with TradingView’s alert system for automated trading.
Technical Innovation: Combines normalized price metrics with Pine Script v6’s force_overlay for seamless signal integration on the price chart or indicator pane.
Technical Details
Calculation Logic:
Uses confirmed bars (barstate.isconfirmed) to calculate metrics, ensuring reliability.
Short-term percentage: (close - lowest(low, lookback_short)) / (highest(high, lookback_short) - lowest(low, lookback_short)).
Long-term percentage: (close - lowest(low, lookback_long)) / (highest(high, lookback_long) - lowest(low, lookback_long)).
Derived metrics:
pct_above_long_above_short = (pct_above_long * pct_above_short) * 100.
pct_above_long_below_short = (pct_above_long * (1 - pct_above_short)) * 100.
pct_below_long_below_short = ((1 - pct_above_long) * (1 - pct_above_short)) * 100.
Signal Plotting:
Entry signals (long_entry) use ta.crossover to detect when pct_above_long_above_short crosses above entryThresholdhigh and pct_below_long_below_short is below entryThresholdlow.
Exit signals (long_exit) use ta.crossover for pct_above_long_above_short crossing above profitTake.
Signals are plotted as tiny circles with force_overlay=true for main chart or standard plotting for the indicator pane.
Performance Considerations: Optimized for efficiency by calculating metrics only on confirmed bars and using lightweight plotting functions.
