Grok/Claude AI Regime Engine • Grok/Claude X SeriesGrok/Claude AI Regime Engine
This is a TradingView indicator designed to identify market regimes (bullish, bearish, or neutral) and generate buy/sell signals based on multiple technical factors working together.
Core Concept
At its heart, this indicator tries to answer a simple question: "What kind of market are we in right now, and when should I consider buying or selling?"
It does this by blending several well-known technical analysis tools into a unified system. Think of it as a dashboard that synthesizes multiple indicators into clear, actionable information.
How It Determines Market Regime
The indicator creates what it calls a "Money Line" by combining two exponential moving averages (EMAs) — a fast one (default 8 periods) and a slow one (default 24 periods). These are weighted together, with the fast EMA getting 60% influence by default. This blended line serves as the primary trend reference.
Bullish regime is declared when the short EMA crosses above the long EMA, provided the RSI isn't already in overbought territory. Bearish regime kicks in when the opposite happens — short EMA crosses below long, as long as RSI isn't oversold. Neutral regime occurs when the indicator detects sideways, choppy conditions.
The neutral detection is particularly interesting. It uses two optional methods: one looks at how flat the Money Line's slope is (compared to recent volatility via ATR), and the other checks how close together the two EMAs are as a percentage of price. When the market is grinding sideways, these methods help the indicator avoid falsely calling a trend.
Signal Generation Logic
Buy and sell signals are generated using Donchian Channel breakouts as the trigger mechanism. The Donchian Channel tracks the highest high and lowest low over a lookback period (default 20 bars), using the previous bar's values to avoid repainting issues.
A buy signal fires when price touches or breaks below the lower Donchian band, suggesting a potential reversal from oversold conditions. A sell signal fires when price reaches the upper band. However, these raw breakout signals pass through several filters before being displayed:
FilterPurposeADX thresholdOnly signals when the market has sufficient trend strength (default: ADX > 25)RSI filterBuy signals require RSI to be oversold; sell signals require overbought RSICooldown periodPrevents signal spam by requiring a minimum number of bars between signalsClose confirmationOptional setting to require a candle close beyond the band, not just a wick
Additional Metrics Displayed
The indicator calculates and displays several supplementary metrics in an information panel. ADX (Average Directional Index) measures trend strength — values below 15 suggest a weak, ranging market, while above 25 indicates a strong trend. The colored dots at the bottom of the chart reflect this: white for weak, orange for moderate, blue for strong.
BBWP (Bollinger Band Width Percentile) measures current volatility relative to historical volatility over roughly a year of data. High readings suggest volatility expansion; low readings suggest compression, which often precedes significant moves.
Alerts and Notifications
The indicator generates alerts in two scenarios: when the market regime changes (bullish to bearish, etc.) and when buy/sell signals trigger. Alert messages include the ticker symbol, timeframe, current price, RSI, ADX, and other relevant context so you can quickly assess the situation without opening the chart.
Visual Customization
Users can toggle various display elements on or off, including the EMA lines, Donchian bands, shaded regime zones between the bands, and price labels at signal points. The shading between the upper and lower bands changes color based on the current regime — green for bullish, magenta for bearish, and blue for neutral — providing an at-a-glance view of market conditions over time.
Summary
This is essentially a trend-following system with mean-reversion entry signals, filtered by momentum and trend strength indicators. It's designed to help traders identify favorable market conditions and time entries while avoiding signals during choppy, directionless periods. The multiple confirmation layers aim to reduce false signals, though like any technical system, it will still produce losing trades in certain market conditions.

Version: Pine Script v6
Overlay: Yes (plots directly on price chart)
MTF EMA Hariss 369The strategy has been prepared in a simplistic manner and easy to understand the concept by any novice trader.
Indicators used:
Current Time frame 20 EMA- Gives clear look about current time frame dynamic support and resistance and trend as well.
Higher Time Frame 20 EMA: Gives macro level trend, support and resistance
Kama: Capture volatility and trend direction.
RVOL: Main factor of price movement.
Buy when price closes above current time frame 20 ema and current time frame 20 ema is above higher time frame 20 ema. Stop loss just below the low of last candle. One can use current time frame 20 ema, higher time frame 20 ema or kama as stop loss depending upon type of asset class and risk appetite. The ideal way is to keep 20 ema as trailing sl if one wants to trail with trend.
Sell when price closes below current time frame 20 ema and current time frame 20 ema is lower than higher time frame 20 ema. Stop loss just above high of last candle.
Ideal target is 1.5 or 2 times of stop loss.
Entry and exit time depends on trading style. Eg. if you want to enter and exit in 5 min time frame, then choose 15 min or 1h as higher time frame as trend filter. Buy and sell signals are also plotted based on this strategy. One should always go with the higher time frame trend. Opting higher time frame trend filter always filters out market noises.
CoreTFRSIMD CoreTFRSIMD library — Reusable TFRSI core for consistent momentum inputs across scripts
The library provides a reusable exported function such as calcTfrsi(src, len, signalLen) so you can compute TFRSI in your own indicators or strategies, e.g. tfrsi = CoreTFRSIMD.calcTfrsi(close, 6, 2)
Summary
CoreTFRSIMD is a Pine Script v6 library that implements a TFRSI-style oscillator core and exposes it as a reusable exported function. It is designed for authors who want the same TFRSI calculation across multiple indicators or strategies without duplicating logic. The library includes a simple demo plot and band styling so you can visually sanity-check the output. No higher-timeframe sampling is used, and there are no loops or arrays, so runtime cost is minimal for typical chart usage.
Motivation: Why this design?
When you reuse an oscillator across different tools, small implementation differences create inconsistent signals and hard-to-debug results. This library isolates the signal path into one exported function so that every dependent script consumes the exact same oscillator output. The design combines filtering, normalization, and a final smoothing pass to produce a stable, RSI-like readout intended for momentum and regime context.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
Baseline: Traditional RSI computed directly from gains and losses with standard smoothing.
Architecture differences:
A high-pass stage to attenuate slower components before the main smoothing.
A multi-pole smoothing stage implemented with persistent state to reduce noise.
A running peak-tracker style normalization that adapts to changing signal amplitude.
A final signal smoothing layer using a simple moving average.
Practical effect:
The oscillator output tends to be less dominated by raw volatility spikes and more consistent across changing conditions.
The normalization step helps keep the output in an RSI-like reading space without relying on fixed scaling.
How it works (technical)
1. Input source: The exported function accepts a source series and two integer parameters controlling responsiveness and final smoothing.
2. High-pass stage: A recursive filter is applied to the source to emphasize shorter-term movement. This stage uses persistent storage so it can reference prior internal states across bars.
3. Smoothing stage: The filtered stream is passed through a SuperSmoother-like recursive smoother derived from the chosen length. This again uses persistent state and prior values for continuity.
4. Adaptive normalization: The absolute magnitude of the smoothed stream is compared to a slowly decaying reference level. If the current magnitude exceeds the reference, the reference is updated. This acts like a “peak hold with decay” so the oscillator scales relative to recent conditions.
5. Oscillator mapping: The normalized value is mapped into an RSI-like reading range.
6. Signal smoothing: A simple moving average is applied over the requested signal length to reduce bar-to-bar chatter.
7. Demo rendering: The library script plots the oscillator, draws horizontal guide levels, and applies background plus gradient fills for overbought and oversold regions.
Parameter Guide
Parameter — Effect — Default — Trade-offs/Tips
src — Input series used by the oscillator — close in demo — Use close for general momentum, or a derived series if you want to emphasize a specific behavior.
len — Controls the responsiveness of internal filtering and smoothing — six in demo — Smaller values react faster but can increase short-term noise; larger values smooth more but can lag turns.
signalLen — Controls the final smoothing of the mapped oscillator — two in demo — Smaller values preserve detail but can flicker; larger values reduce flicker but can delay transitions.
Reading & Interpretation
The plot is an oscillator intended to be read similarly to an RSI-style momentum gauge.
The demo includes three reference levels: upper at one hundred, mid at fifty, and lower at zero.
The fills visually emphasize zones above the midline and below the midline. Treat these as context, not as standalone entries.
If the oscillator appears unusually compressed or unusually jumpy, the normalization reference may be adapting to an abrupt change in amplitude. That is expected behavior for adaptive normalization.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
Trend following:
Use structure first, then confirm with oscillator behavior around the midline.
Prefer signals aligned with higher-high higher-low or lower-low lower-high context from price.
Exits/Stops:
Use oscillator loss of momentum as a caution flag rather than an automatic exit trigger.
In strong trends, consider keeping risk rules price-based and use the oscillator mainly to avoid adding into exhaustion.
Multi-asset/Multi-timeframe:
Start with the demo defaults when you want a responsive oscillator.
If an asset is noisier, increase the main length or the signal smoothing length to reduce false flips.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Repaint/confirmation: No higher-timeframe sampling is used. Output updates on the live bar like any normal series. There is no explicit closed-bar gating in the library.
security or HTF: Not used, so there is no HTF synchronization risk.
Resources: No loops, no arrays, no large history buffers. Persistent variables are used for filter state.
Known limits: Like any filtered oscillator, sharp gaps and extreme one-bar events can produce transient distortions. The adaptive normalization can also make early bars unstable until enough history has accumulated.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Starting values: length six, signal smoothing two.
Too many flips: Increase signal smoothing length, or increase the main length.
Too sluggish: Reduce the main length, or reduce signal smoothing length.
Choppy around midline: Increase signal smoothing length slightly and rely more on price structure filters.
What this indicator is—and isn’t
This library is a reusable signal component and visualization aid. It is not a complete trading system, not predictive, and not a substitute for market structure, execution rules, and risk controls. Use it as a momentum and regime context layer, and validate behavior per asset and timeframe before relying on it.

◆ DETAILS
The Strat is a trading methodology developed by Rob Smith that offers an objective approach to trading by focusing on the 3 universal scenarios regarding candle behavior:
SCENARIO ONE
The 1 Bar - Inside Bar: A candle that doesn't take out the highs or the lows of the previous candle; aka consolidation.
These are shown as gray candles by default.
SCENARIO TWO
The 2 Bar - Directional Bar: A candle that takes out one side of the previous candle; aka trending (or at least attempting to trend).
SCENARIO THREE
The 3 Bar - Outside Bar: A candle that takes out both sides of the previous candle; aka broadening formation.
In addition to Rob's 3 universal scenarios, this indicator identifies two variations of 2 bars:
Failed 2 up: A candle that takes out the high of the previous candle but closes bearish.
Failed 2 down: A candle that takes out the low of the previous candle but closes bullish.

Color 4 (2 up) - Default is aqua
Color 5 (2 down) - Default is white
◆ USAGE
It's recommended to use The Strat Lite with a top down analysis so you can find lower timeframe positions with higher timeframe context.
◇ TOP DOWN ANALYSIS
MONTHLY LEVELS
Starting on a monthly chart, the previous month's high and low are manually plotted.
WEEKLY LEVELS
Dropping down to a weekly chart, the previous week's high and low are manually plotted.
DAILY LEVELS
Dropping down to a daily chart, the previous day's high and low are manually plotted.
12H LEVELS
Dropping down to a 12h chart, the previous 12h's high and low are manually plotted.
ANALYSIS
The monthly low was broken, creating a lower low (aka a broadening formation), signalling potential exhaustion risk, which can be a catalyst for reversals. The daily candle that tested the monthly low closed as a Failed 2 Down—potentially an early sign of a reversal. With these 2 confluences, it's reasonable to expect the next daily candle to be a 2 Up. Now it's time to look for a lower timeframe entry.
◇ LOWER TIMEFRAME POSITION
HOURLY PRICE ACTION
Dropping down to an hourly chart, we're anticipating a 2 Up on the daily timeframe, so we're looking for a bullish pattern to enter a position long. I personally like the 6:00 AM UTC-5 hourly candle, as it's the midpoint of the day (for futures).
In this specific example, we see the opening gap was filled and there's a potential 2-1-2 bullish reversal set up.
At this point, price can either do one of 5 things:
Form another 1 (inside) candle
Form a 2 up (directional) candle
Form a 2 down (directional) candle
Form a 2 up, fail, and potentially flip to form a bearish 3 (outside) candle
Form a 2 down, fail, and potentially flip to form a bullish 3 (outside) candle
Knowing the finite potential outcomes helps us set up our positions, manage them accordingly, and flip bias if needed.
POSITION SETUP
Here we can set up a position long AND short. To go long, we set a buy stop at the 1h high and stop loss just below the 50% level of the inside candle; to go short, we set a sell stop at 1h low and stop loss just above the 50% level of the inside candle.
If the short gets triggered first, we can wait for price to move in our favor before cancelling the buy order. If the short becomes a failed 2 down, potentially reversing to become a bullish 3, we can either wait for the stop loss to trigger and for the long position to trigger OR we can move the buy stop to our short stop loss and move the long stop loss to the low of the 1h candle.
POSITION REFINEMENT
For an even tighter risk-to-reward, we can drop to a lower timeframe and look for setups that would be an early trigger of the 1h entry. Just know, the lower you go the more noise there is—increasing risk of getting stopped out before the 1h trigger.
Above are 30m refined entries.
In this example, the long buy stop was triggered. It closed bullish, so the sell stop order can be cancelled.
◇ TARGETS & POSITION MANAGEMENT
TARGETS
These depend on whether you intend to scalp, day trade, or swing trade, but targets are typically the highs of previous candles (when bullish) and lows of previous candles (when bearish). It's advised to be cautious of swing pivots as there's a risk of exhaustion and reversal at these levels.
In this example, the nearest target was the previous 12h high and the next target was the previous day high; if you're a swing trader, you could target previous week's high and previous month's high.
POSITION MANAGEMENT
This largely depends on your risk tolerance, but it's common to either:
Move stop loss slightly into profit
Trail stop loss behind higher highs (bullish) or lower lows (bearish)
Scale out of positions at potential pivot points, leaving a runner
Scale into positions on pullbacks on the way to target
◆ WRAP UP
As demonstrated, The Strat Lite offers a stripped down version of the Strat Assistant—making it visually simple for more experienced Strat traders. By following a top-down approach with The Strat methodology, you can find high probability setups and manage risk with relative ease.

KEY FEATURES
1. TREND DURATION ANALYSIS SYSTEM - The Core Innovation
The statistical analysis engine is what sets this indicator apart from standard SuperTrend systems. It doesn't just identify trend changes - it provides statistical analysis of potential duration.
How It Works:
Step 1: Historical Tracking
• Automatically records every completed SuperTrend trend (duration in bars)
• Maintains separate databases for bullish trends and bearish trends
• Stores up to 15 most recent trends of each type
• Captures market conditions at each trend flip: volume ratio, ATR ratio, quality score, price distance from SuperTrend, proximity to support/resistance
Step 2: Similarity Matching (k-Nearest Neighbors)
• When new trend begins, system compares current conditions to ALL historical flips
• Calculates similarity score based on:
- Volume similarity (30% weight) - Is volume behaving similarly?
- Volatility similarity (30% weight) - Is ATR/volatility similar?
- Quality similarity (20% weight) - Is setup strength comparable?
- Distance similarity (10% weight) - Is price distance from ST similar?
- Support/Resistance proximity (10% weight) - Similar structural context?
• Selects the 15 MOST SIMILAR historical trends (not just all trends)
• This is like asking: "When conditions looked like this before, how long did trends last?"
Step 3: Statistical Analysis
• Calculates median duration (most common outcome)
• Calculates average duration (mean of similar trends)
• Determines realistic range (min to max of similar trends)
• Applies exponential weighting (recent trends weighted more heavily)
• Outputs confidence-weighted statistical estimate
Step 4: Advanced Intelligence (Advanced Mode Only)
The Advanced mode applies five sophisticated multipliers to refine estimates:
A) Market Structure Multiplier (±30%):
• Detects nearby support/resistance levels using pivot detection
• If flip occurs NEAR a key level: Estimate adjusted -30% (expect bounce/rejection)
• If flip occurs in open space: Estimate adjusted +30% (clear path for continuation)
• Uses configurable lookback period and ATR-based proximity threshold
B) Asset Type Multiplier (±40%):
• Adjusts duration estimates based on asset volatility characteristics
• Small Cap / Biotech: +40% (explosive, extended moves)
• Tech Growth: +20% (momentum-driven, longer trends)
• Blue Chip / Large Cap: 0% (baseline, steady trends)
• Dividend / Value: -20% (slower, grinding trends)
• Cyclical: Variable based on macro regime
• Crypto / High Volatility: +30% (parabolic potential)
C) Flip Strength Multiplier (±20%):
• Analyzes the QUALITY of the trend flip itself
• Strong flip (high volume + expanding ATR + quality score 60+): +20%
• Weak flip (low volume + contracting ATR + quality score under 40): -20%
• Logic: Historical data shows that powerful flips tend to be followed by longer trends
D) Error Learning Multiplier (±15%):
• Tracks Statistical accuracy over last 10 completed trends
• Calculates error ratio: (estimated duration / Actual Duration)
• If system consistently over-estimates: Apply -15% correction
• If system consistently under-estimates: Apply +15% correction
• Learns and adapts to current market regime
E) Regime Detection Multiplier (±20%):
• Analyzes last 3 trends of SAME TYPE (bull-to-bull or bear-to-bear)
• Compares recent trend durations to historical average
• If recent trends 20%+ longer than average: +20% adjustment (trending regime detected)
• If recent trends 20%+ shorter than average: -20% adjustment (choppy regime detected)
• Detects whether market is in trending or mean-reversion mode
Three analysis modes:
SIMPLE MODE - Basic Statistics
• Uses raw median of similar trends only
• No multipliers, no adjustments
• Best for: Beginners, clean trending markets
• Fastest calculations, minimal complexity
STANDARD MODE - Full Statistical Analysis

• Maximum intelligence, most adaptive
Visual Duration Analysis Box:
When a new trend begins (SuperTrend flip), a box appears on your chart showing:
• Analysis Mode (Simple / Standard / Advanced)
• Number of historical trends analyzed
• Median expected duration (most likely outcome)
• Average expected duration (mean of similar trends)
• Range (minimum to maximum from similar trends)
• Advanced multipliers breakdown (Advanced mode only)
• Backtest accuracy statistics (if available)
The box extends from the flip bar to the estimated endpoint based on historical data, giving you a visual target for trend duration. Box updates in real-time as trend progresses.
Backtest & Accuracy Tracking:
• System backtests its own duration estimates using historical data
• Shows accuracy metrics: how well duration estimates matched actual durations
• Tracks last 10 completed duration estimates separately
• Displays statistics in dashboard and duration analysis boxes
• Helps you understand statistical reliability on your specific symbol/timeframe
Anti-Repaint Guarantee:
• duration analysis boxes only appear AFTER bar close (barstate.isconfirmed)
• Historical duration estimates never disappear or change
• What you see in history is exactly what you would have seen real-time
• No future data leakage, no lookahead bias

3. QUALITY SCORING SYSTEM (0-70 Points)
Every signal is rated in real-time across three dimensions:
Volume Confirmation (0-30 points):
• Volume Spike (2.5x+ average): 30 points
• High Volume (1.5x+ average): 20 points
• Above Average (1.0x+ average): 10 points
• Below Average: 0 points
Volatility Assessment (0-30 points):
• Expanding ATR (1.2x+ average): 30 points
• Rising ATR (1.0-1.2x average): 15 points
• Contracting/Stable ATR: 0 points
Volume Momentum (0-10 points):
• Strong Momentum (1.2x+ ratio): 10 points
• Rising Momentum (1.0-1.2x ratio): 5 points
• Weak/Neutral Momentum: 0 points
Score Interpretation:
60-70 points - EXCELLENT:
• All factors aligned
• High conviction setup
• Maximum position size (within risk limits)
• Primary trading opportunities
45-59 points - STRONG:
• Multiple confirmations present
• Above-average setup quality
• Standard position size
• Good trading opportunities
30-44 points - GOOD:
• Basic confirmations met
• Acceptable setup quality
• Reduced position size
• Wait for additional confirmation or trade smaller
Below 30 points - WEAK:
• Minimal confirmations
• Low probability setup
• Consider passing
• Only for aggressive traders in strong trends
Only signals meeting your minimum quality threshold (configurable per preset) generate alerts and labels.
4. MULTI-TIMEFRAME CONFLUENCE ANALYSIS
The system can simultaneously analyze trend alignment across 6 timeframes (optional feature):
Timeframes analyzed:
• 5-minute (scalping context)
• 15-minute (intraday momentum)
• 1-hour (day trading bias)
• 4-hour (swing context)
• Daily (primary trend)
• Weekly (macro trend)
Confluence Interpretation:
• 5-6/6 aligned - Very strong multi-timeframe agreement (highest confidence)
• 3-4/6 aligned - Moderate agreement (standard setup)
• 1-2/6 aligned - Weak agreement (caution advised)
Dashboard shows real-time alignment count with color-coding. Higher confluence typically correlates with longer, stronger trends.
5. VOLUME MOMENTUM FILTER - Institutional Money Flow
Unlike traditional volume indicators that just measure size, Volume Momentum tracks the RATE OF CHANGE in volume:
How it works:
• Compares short-term volume average (fast period) to long-term average (slow period)
• Ratio above 1.0 = Volume accelerating (money flowing IN)
• Ratio above 1.2 = Strong acceleration (institutional participation likely)
• Ratio below 0.8 = Volume decelerating (money flowing OUT)
Why it matters:
• Confirms trend with actual money flow, not just price
• Leading indicator (volume often leads price)
• Catches accumulation/distribution before breakouts
• More intuitive than complex mathematical filters
Integration with signals:
• Optional filter - can be enabled/disabled per preset
• When enabled: Only signals with rising volume momentum fire
• AUTO-DISABLED in Scalping mode (too restrictive for fast trading)
• Configurable fast/slow periods per trading style
6. ADAPTIVE SUPERTREND MULTIPLIER
Traditional SuperTrend uses fixed ATR multiplier. This system dynamically adjusts the multiplier (0.8x to 1.2x base) based on:
• Trend Strength: Price correlation over lookback period
• Volume Weight: Current volume relative to average
Benefits:
• Tighter bands in calm markets (less premature exits)
• Wider bands in volatile conditions (avoids whipsaws)
• Better adaptation to biotech, small-cap, and crypto volatility
• Optional - can be disabled for classic constant multiplier
7. VISUAL GRADIENT RIBBON
26-layer exponential gradient fill between price and SuperTrend line provides instant visual trend strength assessment:
Color System:
• Green shades - Bullish trend + volume confirmation (strongest)
• Blue shades - Bullish trend, normal volume
• Orange shades - Bearish trend + volume confirmation
• Red shades - Bearish trend (weakest)
Opacity varies based on:
• Distance from SuperTrend (farther = more opaque)
• Volume intensity (higher volume = stronger color)
The ribbon provides at-a-glance trend strength without cluttering your chart. Can be toggled on/off.
8. INTELLIGENT ALERT SYSTEM
Two-tier alert architecture for flexibility:
Automatic Alerts:
• Fire automatically on BUY and SELL signals
• Include full context: quality score, volume state, volume momentum
• One alert per bar close (alert.freq_once_per_bar_close)
• Message format: "BUY: Supertrend bullish + Quality: 65/70 | Volume: HIGH | Vol Momentum: STRONG (1.35x)"
Customizable Alert Conditions:
• Appear in TradingView's "Create Alert" dialog
• Three options: BUY Signal Only, SELL Signal Only, ANY Signal (BUY or SELL)
• Use TradingView placeholders: {{ticker}}, {{interval}}, {{close}}, {{time}}
• Fully customizable message templates
All alerts use barstate.isconfirmed - Zero repaint guarantee.
9. ANTI-REPAINT ARCHITECTURE
Every component guaranteed non-repainting:
• Entry signals: Only appear after bar close
• duration analysis boxes: Created only on confirmed SuperTrend flips
• Informative labels: Wait for bar confirmation
• Alerts: Fire once per closed bar
• Multi-timeframe data: Uses lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_off
What you see in history is exactly what you would have seen in real-time. No disappearing signals, no changed duration estimates.

USING duration analysis boxES FOR TRADE MANAGEMENT:
Entry Timing:
• Enter on SuperTrend flip (signal bar close)
• duration analysis box appears simultaneously
• Note the median duration - this is your expected hold time
Profit Targets:
• Conservative: Use MEDIAN duration as profit target (50% probability)
• Moderate: Use AVERAGE duration (mean of similar trends)
• Aggressive: Aim for MAX duration from range (best historical outcome)
Position Management:
• Scale out at median duration (take partial profits)
• Trail stop as trend extends beyond median
• Full exit at average duration or SuperTrend flip (whichever comes first)
• Re-evaluate if trend exceeds estimated range
analysis mode Selection:
• Simple: Clean trending markets, beginners, minimal complexity
• Standard: Most markets, most traders (recommended default)
• Advanced: Volatile markets, complex instruments, experienced traders seeking highest accuracy
Asset Type Configuration (Advanced Mode):
If using Advanced analysis mode, configure Asset Type for optimal accuracy:
• Small Cap: Stocks under $2B market cap, low liquidity
• Biotech / Speculative: Clinical-stage pharma, penny stocks, high-risk
• Blue Chip / Large Cap: S&P 500, mega-cap tech, stable large companies
• Tech Growth: High-growth tech (TSLA, NVDA, growth SaaS)
• Dividend / Value: Dividend aristocrats, value stocks, utilities
• Cyclical: Energy, materials, industrials (macro-driven)
• Crypto / High Volatility: Bitcoin, altcoins, highly volatile assets
Correct asset type selection improves Statistical accuracy by 15-20%.
RISK MANAGEMENT GUIDELINES:
1. Stop Loss Placement:
Long positions:
• Place stop below recent swing low OR
• Place stop below SuperTrend level (whichever is tighter)
• Use 1-2 ATR distance as guideline
• Recommended: SuperTrend level (built-in volatility adjustment)
Short positions:
• Place stop above recent swing high OR
• Place stop above SuperTrend level (whichever is tighter)
• Use 1-2 ATR distance as guideline
• Recommended: SuperTrend level
2. Position Sizing by Quality Score:
• Excellent (60-70): Maximum position size (2% risk per trade)
• Strong (45-59): Standard position size (1.5% risk per trade)
• Good (30-44): Reduced position size (1% risk per trade)
• Weak (Below 30): Pass or micro position (0.5% risk - learning trades only)
3. Exit Strategy Options:
Option A - Statistical Duration-Based Exit:
• Exit at median estimated duration (conservative)
• Exit at average estimated duration (moderate)
• Trail stop beyond average duration (aggressive)
Option B - Signal-Based Exit:
• Exit on opposite signal (SELL after BUY, or vice versa)
• Exit on SuperTrend flip (trend reversal)
• Exit if quality score drops below 30 mid-trend
Option C - Hybrid (Recommended):
• Take 50% profit at median estimated duration
• Trail stop on remaining 50% using SuperTrend as trailing level
• Full exit on SuperTrend flip or quality collapse
4. Trade Filtering:
For higher win-rate (fewer trades, better quality):
• Increase minimum quality score (try 60 for swing, 50 for day trading)
• Enable volume momentum filter (ensure institutional participation)
• Require higher MTF confluence (5-6/6 alignment)
• Use Advanced analysis mode with appropriate asset type
For more opportunities (more trades, lower quality threshold):
• Decrease minimum quality score (40 for day trading, 35 for scalping)
• Disable volume momentum filter
• Lower MTF confluence requirement
• Use Simple or Standard analysis mode

ADVANCED FEATURES
1. Scalpel Mode (Optional)
Advanced pullback entry system that waits for healthy retracements within established trends before signaling entry:
• Monitors price distance from SuperTrend levels
• Requires pullback to configurable range (default: 30-50%)
• Ensures trend remains intact before entry signal
• Reduces whipsaw and false breakouts
• Inspired by Mark Minervini's VCP pullback entries
Best for: Swing traders and day traders seeking precision entries
Scalpers: Consider disabling for faster entries
2. Error Learning System (Advanced analysis mode Only)
The system learns from its own estimation errors:
• Tracks last 10-20 completed duration estimates (configurable memory depth)
• Calculates error ratio for each: estimated duration / Actual Duration
• If system consistently over-estimates: Applies negative correction (-15%)
• If system consistently under-estimates: Applies positive correction (+15%)
• Adapts to current market regime automatically
This self-correction mechanism improves accuracy over time as the system gathers more data on your specific symbol and timeframe.
3. Regime Detection (Advanced analysis mode Only)
Automatically detects whether market is in trending or choppy regime:
• Compares last 3 trends to historical average
• Recent trends 20%+ longer → Trending regime (+20% to estimates)
• Recent trends 20%+ shorter → Choppy regime (-20% to estimates)
• Applied separately to bullish and bearish trends
Helps duration estimates adapt to changing market conditions without manual intervention.
4. Exponential Weighting
Option to weight recent trends more heavily than distant history:
• Default decay factor: 0.9
• Recent trends get higher weight in statistical calculations
• Older trends gradually decay in importance
• Rationale: Recent market behavior more relevant than old data
• Can be disabled for equal weighting
5. Backtest Statistics
System backtests its own duration estimates using historical data:
• Walks through past trends chronologically
• Calculates what duration estimate WOULD have been at each flip
• Compares to actual duration that occurred
• Displays accuracy metrics in duration analysis boxes and dashboard
• Helps assess statistical reliability on your specific chart
Note: Backtest uses only data available AT THE TIME of each historical flip (no lookahead bias).

KNOWN LIMITATIONS
• Trending Markets Only: Performs best in clear trends. May generate false signals in choppy/sideways markets (use quality score filtering and regime detection to mitigate)
• Lagging Nature: Like all trend-following systems, signals occur AFTER trend establishment, not at exact tops/bottoms. Use duration analysis boxes to set realistic profit targets.
• Initial Learning Period: Duration analysis system requires 10-15 completed trends to build reliable historical database. Early duration estimates less accurate (first few weeks on new symbol/timeframe).
• Visual Load: 26-layer gradient ribbon may slow performance on older devices. Disable ribbon if experiencing lag.
• Statistical accuracy Variables: Duration estimates are statistical estimates, not guarantees. Accuracy varies by:
- Market regime (trending vs choppy)
- Asset volatility characteristics
- Quality of historical pattern matches
- Timeframe traded (higher TF = more reliable)
• Not Best Suitable For:
- Ultra-short-term scalping (sub-1-minute charts)
- Mean-reversion strategies (designed for trend-following)
- Range-bound trading (requires trending conditions)
- News-driven spikes (estimates based on technical patterns, not fundamentals)
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: Does this indicator repaint?
A: Absolutely not. All signals, duration analysis boxes, labels, and alerts use barstate.isconfirmed checks. They only appear after the bar closes. What you see in history is exactly what you would have seen in real-time. Zero repaint guarantee.
Q: How accurate are the trend duration estimates?
A: Accuracy varies by mode, market conditions, and historical data quality:
• Simple mode: 60-70% accuracy (within ±20% of actual duration)
• Standard mode: 70-80% accuracy (within ±20% of actual duration)
• Advanced mode: 75-85% accuracy (within ±20% of actual duration)
Best accuracy achieved on:
• Higher timeframes (4H, Daily, Weekly)
• Trending markets (not choppy/sideways)
• Assets with consistent behavior (Blue Chip, Large Cap)
• After 20+ historical trends analyzed (builds robust database)
Remember: All duration estimates are statistical calculations based on historical patterns, not guarantees.
Q: Which analysis mode should I use?
A:
• Simple: Beginners, clean trending markets, want minimal complexity
• Standard: Most traders, general market conditions (RECOMMENDED DEFAULT)
• Advanced: Experienced traders, volatile/complex markets (biotech, small-cap, crypto), seeking maximum accuracy
Advanced mode requires correct Asset Type configuration for optimal results.
Q: What's the difference between the trading style presets?
A: Each preset optimizes ALL parameters for a specific trading approach:
• Scalping: Ultra-sensitive (ATR 7, Mult 2.0), more signals, shorter holds
• Day Trading: Balanced (ATR 10, Mult 2.5), moderate signals, intraday holds
• Swing Trading: Stable (ATR 14, Mult 3.0), fewer signals, multi-day holds
• Position Trading: Very stable (ATR 21, Mult 4.0), rare signals, week/month holds
Auto mode automatically selects based on your chart timeframe.
Q: Should I use Auto mode or manually select a preset?
A: Auto mode is recommended for most traders. It automatically matches settings to your timeframe and re-optimizes if you switch charts. Only use manual preset selection if:
• You want scalping settings on a 15m chart (overriding auto-detection)
• You want swing settings on a 1h chart (more conservative than auto would give)
• You're testing different approaches on same timeframe
Q: Can I use this for scalping and day trading?
A: Absolutely! The preset system is specifically designed for all trading styles:
• Select "Scalping (1-5m)" for 1-5 minute charts
• Select "Day Trading (15m-1h)" for 15m-1h charts
• Or use "Auto" mode and it configures automatically
Volume momentum filter is auto-disabled in Scalping mode for faster signals.
Q: What is Volume Momentum and why does it matter?
A: Volume Momentum compares short-term volume (fast MA) to long-term volume (slow MA). It answers: "Is money flowing into this asset faster now than historically?"
Why it matters:
• Volume often leads price (early warning system)
• Confirms institutional participation (smart money)
• No lag like price-based indicators
• More intuitive than complex mathematical filters
When the ratio is above 1.2, you have strong evidence that institutions are accumulating (bullish) or distributing (bearish).
Q: How do I set up alerts?
A: Two options:
Option 1 - Automatic Alerts:
1. Right-click on chart → Add Alert
2. Condition: Select this indicator
3. Choose "Any alert() function call"
4. Configure notification method (app, email, webhook)
5. You'll receive detailed alerts on every BUY and SELL signal
Option 2 - Customizable Alert Conditions:
1. Right-click on chart → Add Alert
2. Condition: Select this indicator
3. You'll see three options in dropdown:
- "BUY Signal" (long signals only)
- "SELL Signal" (short signals only)
- "ANY Signal" (both BUY and SELL)
4. Choose desired option and customize message template
5. Uses TradingView placeholders: {{ticker}}, {{close}}, {{time}}, etc.
All alerts fire only on confirmed bar close (no repaint).
Q: What is Scalpel Mode and should I use it?
A: Scalpel Mode waits for healthy pullbacks within established trends before signaling entry. It reduces whipsaws and improves entry timing.
Recommended ON for:
• Swing traders (want precision entries on pullbacks)
• Day traders (willing to wait for better prices)
• Risk-averse traders (prefer fewer but higher-quality entries)
Recommended OFF for:
• Scalpers (need immediate entries, can't wait for pullbacks)
• Momentum traders (want to enter on breakout, not pullback)
• Aggressive traders (prefer more opportunities over precision)
Q: Why do some duration estimates show wider ranges than others?
A: Range width reflects historical trend variability:
• Narrow range: Similar historical trends had consistent durations (high confidence)
• Wide range: Similar historical trends had varying durations (lower confidence)
Wide ranges often occur:
• Early in analysis (fewer historical trends to learn from)
• In volatile/choppy markets (inconsistent trend behavior)
• On lower timeframes (more noise, less consistency)
The median and average still provide useful targets even when range is wide.
Q: Can I customize the dashboard position and appearance?
A: Yes! Dashboard settings include:
• Position: 9 options (Top/Middle/Bottom + Left/Center/Right)
• Text Size: Auto, Tiny, Small, Normal, Large, Huge
• Show/Hide: Toggle entire dashboard on/off
Choose position that doesn't overlap important price action on your specific chart.
Q: Which timeframe should I trade on?
A: Depends on your trading style and time availability:
• 1-5 minute: Active scalping, requires constant monitoring
• 15m-1h: Day trading, check few times per session
• 4h-Daily: Swing trading, check once or twice daily
• Daily-Weekly: Position trading, check weekly
General principle: Higher timeframes produce:
• Fewer signals (less frequent)
• Higher quality setups (stronger confirmations)
• More reliable duration estimates (better statistical data)
• Less noise (clearer trends)
Start with Daily chart if new to trading. Move to lower timeframes as you gain experience.
Q: Does this work on all markets (stocks, crypto, forex)?
A: Yes, it works on all markets with trending characteristics:
Excellent for:
• Stocks (especially growth and momentum names)
• Crypto (BTC, ETH, major altcoins)
• Futures (indices, commodities)
• Forex majors (EUR/USD, GBP/USD, etc.)
Best results on:
• Trending markets (not range-bound)
• Liquid instruments (tight spreads, good fills)
• Volatile assets (clear trend development)
Less effective on:
• Range-bound/sideways markets
• Ultra-low volatility instruments
• Illiquid small-caps (use caution)
Configure Asset Type (in Advanced analysis mode) to match your instrument for best accuracy.
Q: How many signals should I expect per day/week?
A: Highly variable based on:
By Timeframe:
• 1-5 minute: 5-15 signals per session
• 15m-1h: 2-5 signals per day
• 4h-Daily: 2-5 signals per week
• Daily-Weekly: 1-2 signals per month
By Market Volatility:
• High volatility = more SuperTrend flips = more signals
• Low volatility = fewer flips = fewer signals
By Quality Filter:
• Higher threshold (60-70) = fewer but better signals
• Lower threshold (30-40) = more signals, lower quality
By Volume Momentum Filter:
• Enabled = Fewer signals (only volume-confirmed)
• Disabled = More signals (all SuperTrend flips)
Adjust quality threshold and filters to match your desired signal frequency.
Q: What's the difference between entry labels and info labels?
A:
Entry Labels (BUY/SELL):
• Your primary trading signals
• Based on SuperTrend flip + all confirmations (quality, volume, momentum)
• Include quality score and confirmation icons
• These are actionable entry points
Info Labels (Volume Spike):
• Additional market context
• Show volume events that may support or contradict trend
• 8-bar cooldown to prevent spam
• NOT necessarily entry points - contextual information only
Control separately: Can show entry labels without info labels (recommended for clean charts).
Q: Can I combine this with other indicators?
A: Absolutely! This works well with:
• RSI: For divergences and overbought/oversold conditions
• Support/Resistance: Confluence with key levels
• Fibonacci Retracements: Pullback targets in Scalpel Mode
• Price Action Patterns: Flags, pennants, cup-and-handle
• MACD: Additional momentum confirmation
• Bollinger Bands: Volatility context
This indicator provides trend direction and duration estimates - complement with other tools for entry refinement and additional confluence.
Q: Why did I get a low-quality signal? Can I filter them out?
A: Yes! Increase the Minimum Quality Score in settings.
If you're seeing signals with quality below your preference:
• Day Trading: Set minimum to 50
• Swing Trading: Set minimum to 60
• Position Trading: Set minimum to 70
Only signals meeting the threshold will appear. This reduces frequency but improves win-rate.
Q: How do I interpret the MTF Confluence count?
A: Shows how many of 6 timeframes agree with current trend:
• 6/6 aligned: Perfect agreement (extremely rare, highest confidence)
• 5/6 aligned: Very strong alignment (high confidence)
• 4/6 aligned: Good alignment (standard quality setup)
• 3/6 aligned: Moderate alignment (acceptable)
• 2/6 aligned: Weak alignment (caution)
• 1/6 aligned: Very weak (likely counter-trend)
Higher confluence typically correlates with longer, stronger trends. However, MTF analysis is optional - you can disable it and rely solely on quality scoring.
Q: Is this suitable for beginners?
A: Yes, but requires foundational knowledge:
You should understand:
• Basic trend-following concepts (higher highs, higher lows)
• Risk management principles (position sizing, stop losses)
• How to read candlestick charts
• What volume and volatility mean
Beginner-friendly features:
• Auto preset mode (zero configuration)
• Quality scoring (tells you signal strength)
• Dashboard tooltips (hover for explanations)
• duration analysis boxes (visual profit targets)
Recommended for beginners:
1. Start with "Auto" or "Swing Trading" preset on Daily chart
2. Use Standard Analysis Mode (not Advanced)
3. Set minimum quality to 60 (fewer but better signals)
4. Paper trade first for 2-4 weeks
5. Study methodology references (Minervini, O'Neil, Zanger)
Q: What is the Asset Type setting and why does it matter?
A: Asset Type (in Advanced analysis mode) adjusts duration estimates based on volatility characteristics:
• Small Cap: Explosive moves, extended trends (+30-40%)
• Biotech / Speculative: Parabolic potential, news-driven (+40%)
• Blue Chip / Large Cap: Baseline, steady trends (0% adjustment)
• Tech Growth: Momentum-driven, longer trends (+20%)
• Dividend / Value: Slower, grinding trends (-20%)
• Cyclical: Macro-driven, variable (±10%)
• Crypto / High Volatility: Parabolic potential (+30%)
Correct configuration improves Statistical accuracy by 15-20%. Using Blue Chip settings on a biotech stock may underestimate trend length (you'll exit too early).
Q: Can I backtest this indicator?
A: Yes! TradingView's Strategy Tester works with this indicator's signals.
To backtest:
1. Note the entry conditions (SuperTrend flip + quality threshold + filters)
2. Create a strategy script using same logic
3. Run Strategy Tester on historical data
Additionally, the indicator includes BUILT-IN duration estimate validation:
• System backtests its own duration estimates
• Shows accuracy metrics in dashboard and duration analysis boxes
• Helps assess reliability on your specific symbol/timeframe
Q: Why does Volume Momentum auto-disable in Scalping mode?
A: Scalping requires ultra-fast entries to catch quick moves. Volume Momentum filter adds friction by requiring volume confirmation before signaling, which can cause missed opportunities in rapid scalping.
Scalping preset is optimized for speed and frequency - the filter is counterproductive for that style. It remains enabled for Day Trading, Swing Trading, and Position Trading presets where patience improves results.
You can manually enable it in Custom mode if desired.
Q: How much historical data do I need for accurate duration estimates?
A:
Minimum: 50-100 bars (indicator will function but duration estimates less reliable)
Recommended: 500+ bars (robust statistical database)
Optimal: 1000+ bars (maximum Statistical accuracy)
More history = more completed trends = better pattern matching = more accurate duration estimates.
New symbols or newly-switched timeframes will have lower Statistical accuracy initially. Allow 2-4 weeks for the system to build historical database.

Z-Fusion Oscillator | Lyro RSThe Z-Fusion Oscillator converts five momentum indicators into Z-scores and blends them into one normalized signal that adapts across markets.
By combining normalization, smoothing, and divergence detection, users can easily identify when momentum is accelerating, weakening, reversing, or entering extreme zones
🔶 USAGE
The Z-Fusion Oscillator is designed to give traders a unified reading of market momentum—removing the noise of comparing tools that normally run on different scales.
By transforming RSI, MACD histogram, Stochastic, Momentum, and Rate of Change into Z-scores, this tool standardizes all inputs, making trend strength and shifts easier to interpret.
A dual-line system (fast Z-fusion line + slower baseline) highlights turning points, while overbought/oversold bands and “X-marks” help traders spot exhaustion and potential reversals.
🔹 Unified Momentum Structure
The indicator’s core strength comes from combining five Z-scored signals into one average.
Which makes momentum behavior more consistent across assets, reduces false extremes, and highlights true shifts in trend conviction.
🔹 Divergence Detection
The tool includes fully integrated divergence detection:
Regular Bullish Divergence: Price makes a lower low while Z-Fusion forms a higher low.
Regular Bearish Divergence: Price makes a higher high while Z-Fusion forms a lower high
Bullish and bearish divergences are marked directly on the oscillator with labels and colored pivot connections, making hidden momentum shifts obvious.
🔹 Visual Extremes
Two sets of upper and lower Z-score thresholds help identify:
Extreme overbought surges
Extreme oversold drops
Reversal zones
Potential exhaustion conditions
Background coloring reinforces when the oscillator moves beyond major levels, helping traders quickly assess momentum pressure.
🔹 Detecting Momentum Anomalies
Z-scores allow the oscillator to highlight when market momentum behaves abnormally relative to its own recent history.
For example:
The oscillator reaching +1 or –1 after an extended trend may indicate a climax.
A sharp Z-score reversal within an extreme zone can signal a trend exhaustion or a corrective move.
Divergences often appear earlier due to normalization smoothing out indicator noise.
This makes the Z-Fusion Oscillator particularly useful for spotting subtle shifts in trend direction that traditional indicators may miss.
🔶 DETAILS
🔹 Composite Z-Score Framework
Each momentum tool is smoothed, normalized, and transformed:
RSI → EMA-smoothed, Z-scored
MACD histogram → Z-scored
Stochastic → EMA + SMA smoothing, then Z-scored
Momentum → EMA-smoothed, Z-scored
Rate of Change → EMA-smoothed, Z-scored
These are averaged into one composite Z-score to provide a consistent reading across assets and market conditions.
🔹 Fusion Trend Lines
Two lines serve as the core signal:
Fast Line (savg) – reacts quicker to trend changes
Slow Line (savg2) – acts as a baseline filter
Crossovers between these lines highlight momentum shifts, while their color reflects trend bias.
🔹 Overbought/Oversold Zones
Two upper and two lower Z-score thresholds define “zones”:
Upper zones highlight overheated momentum or potential bearish reversals
Lower zones highlight depressed momentum or potential bullish reversals
Filled regions and background colors help visually confirm extreme conditions.
🔹 Pivot-Based Divergence Engine
The script includes filtered pivot detection with customizable look-backs and range limits to ensure divergences are meaningful, not noise-driven.
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹 Indicator Settings

🔶 SUMMARY
The Z-Fusion Oscillator combines multiple momentum signatures into a single normalized signal, enabling traders to:
Identify reversals early
Detect momentum exhaustion
Spot bullish and bearish divergences
Track overbought/oversold conditions
Visualize trend strength with clarity
Whether you're a swing trader, intraday analyst, or trend-reversal hunter, the Z-Fusion Oscillator provides a powerful and adaptive way to read momentum.
Mars Signals - Ultimate Institutional Suite v3.0(Joker)Comprehensive Trading Manual
Mars Signals – Ultimate Institutional Suite v3.0 (Joker)
## Chapter 1 – Philosophy & System Architecture
This script is not a simple “buy/sell” indicator.
Mars Signals – UIS v3.0 (Joker) is designed as an institutional-style analytical assistant that layers several methodologies into a single, coherent framework.
The system is built on four core pillars:
1. Smart Money Concepts (SMC)
- Detection of Order Blocks (professional demand/supply zones).
- Detection of Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) (price imbalances).
2. Smart DCA Strategy
- Combination of RSI and Bollinger Bands
- Identifies statistically discounted zones for scaling into spot positions or exiting shorts.
3. Volume Profile (Visible Range Simulation)
- Distribution of volume by price, not by time.
- Identification of POC (Point of Control) and high-/low-volume areas.
4. Wyckoff Helper – Spring
- Detection of bear traps, liquidity grabs, and sharp bullish reversals.
All four pillars feed into a Confluence Engine (Scoring System).
The final output is presented in the Dashboard, with a clear, human-readable signal:
- STRONG LONG 🚀
- WEAK LONG ↗
- NEUTRAL / WAIT
- WEAK SHORT ↘
- STRONG SHORT 🩸
This allows the trader to see *how many* and *which* layers of the system support a bullish or bearish bias at any given time.
## Chapter 2 – Settings Overview
### 2.1 General & Dashboard Group
- Show Dashboard Panel (`show_dash`)
Turns the dashboard table in the corner of the chart ON/OFF.
- Show Signal Recommendation (`show_rec`)
- If enabled, the textual signal (STRONG LONG, WEAK SHORT, etc.) is displayed.
- If disabled, you only see feature status (ON/OFF) and the current price.
- Dashboard Position (`dash_pos`)
Determines where the dashboard appears on the chart:
- `Top Right`
- `Bottom Right`
- `Top Left`
### 2.2 Smart Money (SMC) Group
- Enable SMC Strategy (`show_smc`)
Globally enables or disables the Order Block and FVG logic.
- Order Block Pivot Lookback (`ob_period`)
Main parameter for detecting key pivot highs/lows (swing points).
- Default value: 5
- Concept:
A bar is considered a pivot low if its low is lower than the lows of the previous 5 and the next 5 bars.
Similarly, a pivot high has a high higher than the previous 5 and the next 5 bars.
These pivots are used as anchors for Order Blocks.
- Increasing `ob_period`:
- Fewer levels.
- But levels tend to be more significant and reliable.
- In highly volatile markets (major news, war events, FOMC, etc.),
using values 7–10 is recommended to filter out weak levels.
- Show Fair Value Gaps (`show_fvg`)
Enables/disables the drawing of FVG zones (imbalances).
- Bullish OB Color (`c_ob_bull`)
- Color of Bullish Order Blocks (Demand Zones).
- Default: semi-transparent green (transparency ≈ 80).
- Bearish OB Color (`c_ob_bear`)
- Color of Bearish Order Blocks (Supply Zones).
- Default: semi-transparent red.
- Bullish FVG Color (`c_fvg_bull`)
- Color of Bullish FVG (upward imbalance), typically yellow.
- Bearish FVG Color (`c_fvg_bear`)
- Color of Bearish FVG (downward imbalance), typically purple.
### 2.3 Smart DCA Strategy Group
- Enable DCA Zones (`show_dca`)
Enables the Smart DCA logic and visual labels.
- RSI Length (`rsi_len`)
Lookback period for RSI (default: 14).
- Shorter → more sensitive, more noise.
- Longer → fewer signals, higher reliability.
- Bollinger Bands Length (`bb_len`)
Moving average period for Bollinger Bands (default: 20).
- BB Multiplier (`bb_mult`)
Standard deviation multiplier for Bollinger Bands (default: 2.0).
- For extremely volatile markets, values like 2.5–3.0 can be used so that only extreme deviations trigger a DCA signal.
### 2.4 Volume Profile (Visible Range Sim) Group
- Show Volume Profile (`show_vp`)
Enables the simulated Volume Profile bars on the right side of the chart.
- Volume Lookback Bars (`vp_lookback`)
Number of bars used to compute the Volume Profile (default: 150).
- Higher values → broader historical context, heavier computation.
- Row Count (`vp_rows`)
Number of vertical price segments (rows) to divide the total price range into (default: 30).
- Width (%) (`vp_width`)
Relative width of each volume bar as a percentage.
In the code, bar widths are scaled relative to the row with the maximum volume.
> Technical note: Volume Profile calculations are executed only on the last bar (`barstate.islast`) to keep the script performant even on higher timeframes.
### 2.5 Wyckoff Helper Group
- Show Wyckoff Events (`show_wyc`)
Enables detection and plotting of Wyckoff Spring events.
- Volume MA Length (`vol_ma_len`)
Length of the moving average on volume.
A bar is considered to have Ultra Volume if its volume is more than 2× the volume MA.
## Chapter 3 – Smart Money Strategy (Order Blocks & FVG)
### 3.1 What Is an Order Block?
An Order Block (OB) represents the footprint of large institutional orders:
- Bullish Order Block (Demand Zone)
The last selling region (bearish candle/cluster) before a strong upward move.
- Bearish Order Block (Supply Zone)
The last buying region (bullish candle/cluster) before a strong downward move.
Institutions and large players place heavy orders in these regions. Typical price behavior:
- Price moves away from the zone.
- Later returns to the same zone to fill unfilled orders.
- Then continues the larger trend.
In the script:
- If `pl` (pivot low) forms → a Bullish OB is created.
- If `ph` (pivot high) forms → a Bearish OB is created.
The box is drawn:
- From `bar_index ` to `bar_index`.
- Between `low ` and `high `.
- `extend=extend.right` extends the OB into the future, so it acts as a dynamic support/resistance zone.
- Only the last 4 OB boxes are kept to avoid clutter.
### 3.2 Order Block Color Guide
- Semi-transparent Green (`c_ob_bull`)
- Represents a Bullish Order Block (Demand Zone).
- Interpretation: a price region with a high probability of bullish reaction.
- Semi-transparent Red (`c_ob_bear`)
- Represents a Bearish Order Block (Supply Zone).
- Interpretation: a price region with a high probability of bearish reaction.
Overlap (Multiple OBs in the Same Area)
When two or more Order Blocks overlap:
- The shared area appears visually denser/stronger.
- This suggests higher order density.
- Such zones can be treated as high-priority levels for entries, exits, and stop-loss placement.
### 3.3 Demand/Supply Logic in the Scoring Engine
is_in_demand = low <= ta.lowest(low, 20)
is_in_supply = high >= ta.highest(high, 20)
- If current price is near the lowest lows of the last 20 bars, it is considered in a Demand Zone → positive impact on score.
- If current price is near the highest highs of the last 20 bars, it is considered in a Supply Zone → negative impact on score.
This logic complements Order Blocks and helps the Dashboard distinguish whether:
- Market is currently in a statistically cheap (long-friendly) area, or
- In a statistically expensive (short-friendly) area.
### 3.4 Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
#### Concept
When the market moves aggressively:
- Some price levels are skipped and never traded.
- A gap between wicks/shadows of consecutive candles appears.
- These regions are called Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) or Imbalances.
The market generally “dislikes” imbalance and often:
- Returns to these zones in the future.
- Fills the gap (rebalance).
- Then resumes its dominant direction.
#### Implementation in the Code
Bullish FVG (Yellow)
fvg_bull_cond = show_smc and show_fvg and low > high and close > high
if fvg_bull_cond
box.new(bar_index , high , bar_index, low, ...)
Core condition:
`low > high ` → the current low is above the high of two bars ago; the space between them is an untraded gap.
Bearish FVG (Purple)
fvg_bear_cond = show_smc and show_fvg and high < low and close < low
if fvg_bear_cond
box.new(bar_index , low , bar_index, high, ...)
Core condition:
`high < low ` → the current high is below the low of two bars ago; again a price gap exists.
#### FVG Color Guide
- Transparent Yellow (`c_fvg_bull`) – Bullish FVG
Often acts like a magnet for price:
- Price tends to retrace into this zone,
- Fill the imbalance,
- And then continue higher.
- Transparent Purple (`c_fvg_bear`) – Bearish FVG
Price tends to:
- Retrace upward into the purple area,
- Fill the imbalance,
- And then resume downward movement.
#### Trading with FVGs
- FVGs are *not* standalone entry signals.
They are best used as:
- Targets (take-profit zones), or
- Reaction areas where you expect a pause or reversal.
Examples:
- If you are long, a bearish FVG above is often an excellent take-profit zone.
- If you are short, a bullish FVG below is often a good cover/exit zone.
### 3.5 Core SMC Trading Templates
#### Reversal Long
1. Price trades down into a green Order Block (Demand Zone).
2. A bullish confirmation candle (Close > Open) forms inside or just above the OB.
3. If this zone is close to or aligned with a bullish FVG (yellow), the signal is reinforced.
4. Entry:
- At the close of the confirmation candle, or
- Using a limit order near the upper boundary of the OB.
5. Stop-loss:
- Slightly below the OB.
- If the OB is broken decisively and price consolidates below it, the zone loses validity.
6. Targets:
- The next FVG,
- Or the next red Order Block (Supply Zone) above.
#### Reversal Short
The mirror scenario:
- Price rallies into a red Order Block (Supply).
- A bearish confirmation candle forms (Close < Open).
- FVG/premium structure above can act as a confluence.
- Stop-loss goes above the OB.
- Targets: lower FVGs or subsequent green OBs below.
## Chapter 4 – Smart DCA Strategy (RSI + Bollinger Bands)
### 4.1 Smart DCA Concept
- Classic DCA = buying at fixed time intervals regardless of price.
- Smart DCA = scaling in only when:
- Price is statistically cheaper than usual, and
- The market is in a clear oversold condition.
Code logic:
rsi_val = ta.rsi(close, rsi_len)
= ta.bb(close, bb_len, bb_mult)
dca_buy = show_dca and rsi_val < 30 and close < bb_lower
dca_sell = show_dca and rsi_val > 70 and close > bb_upper
Conditions:
- DCA Buy – Smart Scale-In Zone
- RSI < 30 → oversold.
- Close < lower Bollinger Band → price has broken below its typical volatility envelope.
- DCA Sell – Overbought/Distribution Zone
- RSI > 70 → overbought.
- Close > upper Bollinger Band → price is extended far above the mean.
### 4.2 Visual Representation on the Chart
- Green “DCA” Label Below Candle
- Shape: `labelup`.
- Color: lime background, white text.
- Meaning: statistically attractive level for laddered spot entries or short exits.
- Red “SELL” Label Above Candle
- Warning that the market is in an extended, overbought condition.
- Suitable for profit-taking on longs or considering short entries (with proper confluence and risk management).
- Light Green Background (`bgcolor`)
- When `dca_buy` is true, the candle background turns very light green (high transparency).
- This helps visually identify DCA Zones across the chart at a glance.
### 4.3 Practical Use in Trading
#### Spot Trading
Used to build a better average entry price:
- Every time a DCA label appears, allocate a fixed portion of capital (e.g., 2–5%).
- Combining DCA signals with:
- Green OBs (Demand Zones), and/or
- The Volume Profile POC
makes the zone structurally more important.
#### Futures Trading
- Longs
- Use DCA Buy signals as low-risk zones for opening or adding to longs when:
- Price is inside a green OB, or
- The Dashboard already leans LONG.
- Shorts
- Use DCA Sell signals as:
- Exit zones for longs, or
- Areas to initiate shorts with stops above structural highs.
## Chapter 5 – Volume Profile (Visible Range Simulation)
### 5.1 Concept
Traditional volume (histogram under the chart) shows volume over time.
Volume Profile shows volume by price level:
- At which prices has the highest trading activity occurred?
- Where did buyers and sellers agree the most (High Volume Nodes – HVNs)?
- Where did price move quickly due to low participation (Low Volume Nodes – LVNs)?
### 5.2 Implementation in the Script
Executed only when `show_vp` is enabled and on the last bar:
1. The last `vp_lookback` bars (default 150) are processed.
2. The minimum low and maximum high over this window define the price range.
3. This price range is divided into `vp_rows` segments (e.g., 30 rows).
4. For each row:
- All bars are scanned.
- If the mid-price `(high + low ) / 2` falls inside a row, that bar’s volume is added to the row total.
5. The row with the greatest volume is stored as `max_vol_idx` (the POC row).
6. For each row, a volume box is drawn on the right side of the chart.
### 5.3 Color Scheme
- Semi-transparent Orange
- The row with the maximum volume – the Point of Control (POC).
- Represents the strongest support/resistance level from a volume perspective.
- Semi-transparent Blue
- Other volume rows.
- The taller the bar → the higher the volume → the stronger the interest at that price band.
### 5.4 Trading Applications
- If price is above POC and retraces back into it:
→ POC often acts as support, suitable for long setups.
- If price is below POC and rallies into it:
→ POC often acts as resistance, suitable for short setups or profit-taking.
HVNs (Tall Blue Bars)
- Represent areas of equilibrium where the market has spent time and traded heavily.
- Price tends to consolidate here before choosing a direction.
LVNs (Short or Nearly Empty Bars)
- Represent low participation zones.
- Price often moves quickly through these areas – useful for targeting fast moves.
## Chapter 6 – Wyckoff Helper – Spring
### 6.1 Spring Concept
In the Wyckoff framework:
- A Spring is a false break of support.
- The market briefly trades below a well-defined support level, triggers stop losses,
then sharply reverses upward as institutional buyers absorb liquidity.
This movement:
- Clears out weak hands (retail sellers).
- Provides large players with liquidity to enter long positions.
- Often initiates a new uptrend.
### 6.2 Code Logic
Conditions for a Spring:
1. The current low is lower than the lowest low of the previous 50 bars
→ apparent break of a long-standing support.
2. The bar closes bullish (Close > Open)
→ the breakdown was rejected.
3. Volume is significantly elevated:
→ `volume > 2 × volume_MA` (Ultra Volume).
When all conditions are met and `show_wyc` is enabled:
- A pink diamond is plotted below the bar,
- With the label “Spring” – one of the strongest long signals in this system.
### 6.3 Trading Use
- After a valid Spring, markets frequently enter a meaningful bullish phase.
- The highest quality setups occur when:
- The Spring forms inside a green Order Block, and
- Near or on the Volume Profile POC.
Entries:
- At the close of the Spring bar, or
- On the first pullback into the mid-range of the Spring candle.
Stop-loss:
- Slightly below the Spring’s lowest point (wick low plus a small buffer).
## Chapter 7 – Confluence Engine & Dashboard
### 7.1 Scoring Logic
For each bar, the script:
1. Resets `score` to 0.
2. Adjusts the score based on different signals.
SMC Contribution
if show_smc
if is_in_demand
score += 1
if is_in_supply
score -= 1
- Being in Demand → `+1`
- Being in Supply → `-1`
DCA Contribution
if show_dca
if dca_buy
score += 2
if dca_sell
score -= 2
- DCA Buy → `+2` (strong, statistically driven long signal)
- DCA Sell → `-2`
Wyckoff Spring Contribution
if show_wyc
if wyc_spring
score += 2
- Spring → `+2` (entry of strong money)
### 7.2 Mapping Score to Dashboard Signal
- score ≥ 2 → STRONG LONG 🚀
Multiple bullish conditions aligned.
- score = 1 → WEAK LONG ↗
Some bullish bias, but only one layer clearly positive.
- score = 0 → NEUTRAL / WAIT
Rough balance between buying and selling forces; staying flat is usually preferable.
- score = -1 → WEAK SHORT ↘
Mild bearish bias, suited for cautious or short-term plays.
- score ≤ -2 → STRONG SHORT 🩸
Convergence of several bearish signals.
### 7.3 Dashboard Structure
The dashboard is a two-column table:
- Row 0
- Column 0: `"Mars Signals"` – black background, white text.
- Column 1: `"UIS v3.0"` – black background, yellow text.
- Row 1
- Column 0: `"Price:"` (light grey background).
- Column 1: current closing price (`close`) with a semi-transparent blue background.
- Row 2
- Column 0: `"SMC:"`
- Column 1:
- `"ON"` (green) if `show_smc = true`
- `"OFF"` (grey) otherwise.
- Row 3
- Column 0: `"DCA:"`
- Column 1:
- `"ON"` (green) if `show_dca = true`
- `"OFF"` (grey) otherwise.
- Row 4
- Column 0: `"Signal:"`
- Column 1: signal text (`status_txt`) with background color `status_col`
(green, red, teal, maroon, etc.)
- If `show_rec = false`, these cells are cleared.

## Chapter 9 – Timeframe-Based Trading Playbook
### 9.1 Timeframe Selection
- Scalping
- Timeframes: 1M, 5M, 15M
- Objective: fast intraday moves (minutes to a few hours).
- Recommendation: focus on SMC + Wyckoff.
Smart DCA on very low timeframes may introduce excessive noise.
- Day Trading
- Timeframes: 15M, 1H, 4H
- Provides a good balance between signal quality and frequency.
- Recommendation: use the full stack – SMC + DCA + Volume Profile + Wyckoff + Dashboard.
- Swing Trading & Position Investing
- Timeframes: Daily, Weekly
- Emphasis on Smart DCA + Volume Profile.
- SMC and Wyckoff are used mainly to fine-tune swing entries within larger trends.
### 9.2 Scenario A – Scalping Long
Example: 5-Minute Chart
1. Price is declining into a green OB (Bullish Demand).
2. A candle with a long lower wick and bullish close (Pin Bar / Rejection) forms inside the OB.
3. A Spring diamond appears below the same candle → very strong confluence.
4. The Dashboard shows at least WEAK LONG ↗, ideally STRONG LONG 🚀.
5. Entry:
- On the close of the confirmation candle, or
- On the first pullback into the mid-range of that candle.
6. Stop-loss:
- Slightly below the OB.
7. Targets:
- Nearby bearish FVG above, and/or
- The next red OB.
### 9.3 Scenario B – Day-Trading Short
Recommended Timeframes: 1H or 4H
1. The market completes a strong impulsive move upward.
2. Price enters a red Order Block (Supply).
3. In the same zone, a purple FVG appears or remains unfilled.
4. On a lower timeframe (e.g., 15M), RSI enters overbought territory and a DCA Sell signal appears.
5. The main timeframe Dashboard (1H) shows WEAK SHORT ↘ or STRONG SHORT 🩸.
Trade Plan
- Open a short near the upper boundary of the red OB.
- Place the stop above the OB or above the last swing high.
- Targets:
- A yellow FVG lower on the chart, and/or
- The next green OB (Demand) below.
### 9.4 Scenario C – Swing / Investment with Smart DCA
Timeframes: Daily / Weekly
1. On the daily or weekly chart, each time a green “DCA” label appears:
- Allocate a fixed fraction of your capital (e.g., 3–5%) to that asset.
2. Check whether this DCA zone aligns with the orange POC of the Volume Profile:
- If yes → the quality of the entry zone is significantly higher.
3. If the DCA signal sits inside a daily green OB, the probability of a medium-term bottom increases.
4. Always build the position laddered, never all-in at a single price.
Exits for investors:
- Near weekly red OBs or large purple FVG zones.
- Ideally via partial profit-taking rather than closing 100% at once.
### 9.5 Case Study 1 – BTCUSDT (15-Minute)
- Context: Price has sold off down towards 65,000 USD.
- A green OB had previously formed at that level.
- Near the lower boundary of this OB, a partially filled yellow FVG is present.
- As price returns to this region, a Spring appears.
- The Dashboard shifts from NEUTRAL / WAIT to WEAK LONG ↗.
Plan
- Enter a long near the OB low.
- Place stop below the Spring low.
- First target: a purple FVG around 66,200.
- Second (optional) target: the first red OB above that level.
### 9.6 Case Study 2 – Meme Coin (PEPE – 4H)
- After a strong pump, price enters a corrective phase.
- On the 4H chart, RSI drops below 30; price breaks below the lower Bollinger Band → a DCA label prints.
- The Volume Profile shows the POC at approximately the same level.
- The Dashboard displays STRONG LONG 🚀.
Plan
- Execute laddered buys in the combined DCA + POC zone.
- Place a protective stop below the last significant swing low.
- Target: an expected 20–30% upside move towards the next red OB or purple FVG.
## Chapter 10 – Risk Management, Psychology & Advanced Tuning
### 10.1 Risk Management
No signal, regardless of its strength, replaces risk control.
Recommendations:
- In futures, do not expose more than 1–3% of account equity to risk per trade.
- Adjust leverage to the volatility of the instrument (lower leverage for highly volatile altcoins).
- Place stop-losses in zones where the idea is clearly invalidated:
- Below/above the relevant Order Block or Spring, not randomly in the middle of the structure.
### 10.2 Market-Specific Parameter Tuning
- Calmer Markets (e.g., major FX pairs)
- `ob_period`: 3–5.
- `bb_mult`: 2.0 is usually sufficient.
- Highly Volatile Markets (Crypto, news-driven assets)
- `ob_period`: 7–10 to highlight only the most robust OBs.
- `bb_mult`: 2.5–3.0 so that only extreme deviations trigger DCA.
- `vol_ma_len`: increase (e.g., to ~30) so that Spring triggers only on truly exceptional
volume spikes.
### 10.3 Trading Psychology
- STRONG LONG 🚀 does not mean “risk-free”.
It means the probability of a successful long, given the model’s logic, is higher than average.
- Treat Mars Signals as a confirmation and context system, not a full replacement for your own decision-making.
- Example of disciplined thinking:
- The Dashboard prints STRONG LONG,
- But price is simultaneously testing a multi-month macro resistance or a major negative news event is imminent,
- In such cases, trade smaller, widen stops appropriately, or skip the trade.
## Chapter 11 – Technical Notes & FAQ
### 11.1 Does the Script Repaint?
- Order Blocks and Springs are based on completed pivot structures and confirmed candles.
- Until a pivot is confirmed, an OB does not exist; after confirmation, behavior is stable under classic SMC assumptions.
- The script is designed to be structurally consistent rather than repainting signals arbitrarily.
### 11.2 Computational Load of Volume Profile
- On the last bar, the script processes up to `vp_lookback` bars × `vp_rows` rows.
- On very low timeframes with heavy zooming, this can become demanding.
- If you experience performance issues:
- Reduce `vp_lookback` or `vp_rows`, or
- Temporarily disable Volume Profile (`show_vp = false`).
### 11.3 Multi-Timeframe Behavior
- This version of the script is not internally multi-timeframe.
All logic (OB, DCA, Spring, Volume Profile) is computed on the active timeframe only.
- Practical workflow:
- Analyze overall structure and key zones on higher timeframes (4H / Daily).
- Use lower timeframes (15M / 1H) with the same tool for timing entries and exits.

Simple MA Crossover w/ SLTPPicture two cheetahs on a racetrack made of price candles. One cheetah is fast and twitchy (the short-term EMA). The other is chill, lumbering, and takes its sweet time (the long-term EMA). When the twitchy cheetah sprints ahead and crosses above the chill one → “BUY, YOU MAGNIFICENT DEGEN!” When the twitchy one gets tired, slows down, and gets lapped from above → “SELL before this turns into a horror movie!”
That, my friend, is the EMA crossover strategy in its purest, most dramatic form.
Weekday Close vs Open — Last N (per weekday)# Weekday Close vs Open - Last N Occurrences
This indicator distills every weekday's historical open-to-close behavior into a compact table so you can see how "typical" the current session is before the day even closes. It runs independently of your chart timeframe by pulling daily OHLCV data under the hood, tracking the last **N** completed occurrences for each weekday, and refreshing only when a daily bar closes. On daily charts you can also shade every past bar that matches today's weekday (excluding the in-progress session) to reinforce the pattern visually while the table remains non-repainting.
## What It Shows
- **Win/Loss/Tie counts** - how many of the last `N` occurrences closed above the open (wins), below (losses), or inside the tie threshold you define as "flat".
- **Win % heatmap** - the win column is color-coded (deep green > deep red) so you immediately recognize strong or weak weekdays.
- **Advanced metrics (optional)** - average daily volume plus the average percentage excursion above/below the open (`AvgUp%`, `AvgDn%`) for that weekday.
- **Totals row** - aggregates every weekday into one row to estimate overall hit rate and average stats across the entire data set.
- **Weekday shading (optional)** - on daily charts you can tint every bar that matches today's weekday (all Mondays, all Fridays, etc.) for instant pattern recognition.
## How It Works
1. The script requests daily OHLCV data (non-repainting) regardless of the chart timeframe.
2. When a new daily bar confirms, it packs that day's data into one of seven arrays (one per weekday). Each day contributes five floats (O/H/L/C/V) so trimming and statistics stay in lockstep.
3. A helper function (`f_dayMetrics`) scans daily history to compute average volume, average excursion above/below the open, and win/loss/tie counts for the requested weekday.
4. The table populates on the last bar of the chart session, respecting your advanced/totals toggles and keeping text at `size.normal`.
## Reading the Table
- **Win/Loss/Tie columns**: raw counts taken from your chosen `N`.
- **Win %***: excludes ties from the denominator so it reflects only decisive closes.
- **AvgUp% / AvgDn%**: typical intraday extension (high vs open, open vs low) in percent.
- **Avg Vol**: arithmetic mean of daily volume for that weekday.
- **TOTAL row**: provides a global win rate plus volume/up/down averages weighted by how many samples each weekday contributed.
## Practical Uses
- Spot weekdays that historically trend higher or lower before entering a trade.
- Compare current price action against the typical intraday range (`AvgUp%` vs today's move).
- Filter mean-reversion vs breakout setups based on the most reliable weekday patterns.
- Quickly gauge whether today is behaving "in character" by referencing the highlighted row or the optional whole-chart weekday shading.
> **Tip:** Use smaller `N` values (e.g., 10-20) for adaptive, recent behavior and larger values (50+) to capture longer-term seasonality. Tighten the tie threshold if you want almost every candle to register as win/loss, or widen it to focus only on meaningful moves.
FxAST Ichi ProSeries Enhanced Full Market Regime EngineFxAST Ichi ProSeries v1.x is a modernized Ichimoku engine that keeps the classic logic but adds a full market regime engine for any market and instrument.”
Multi-timeframe cloud overlay
Oracle long-term baseline
Trend regime classifier (Bull / Bear / Transition / Range)
Chikou & Cloud breakout signals
HTF + Oracle + Trend dashboard
Alert-ready structure for automation
No repainting: all HTF calls use lookahead_off.
1. Core Ichimoku Engine
Code sections:
Input group: Core Ichimoku
Function: ichiCalc()
Variables: tenkan, kijun, spanA, spanB, chikou
What it does
Calculates the classic Ichimoku components:
Tenkan (Conversion Line) – fast Donchian average (convLen)
Kijun (Base Line) – slower Donchian average (baseLen)
Senkou Span A (Span A / Lead1) – (Tenkan + Kijun)/2
Senkou Span B (Span B / Lead2) – Donchian over spanBLen
Chikou – current close shifted back in time (displace)
Everything else in the indicator builds on this engine.
How to use it (trading)
Tenkan vs Kijun = short-term vs medium-term balance.
Tenkan above Kijun = short-term bullish control; below = bearish control.
Span A / B defines the cloud, which represents equilibrium and support/resistance.
Price above cloud = bullish bias; price below cloud = bearish bias.
Graphic
2. Display & Cloud Styling
Code sections:
Input groups: Display Options, Cloud Styling, Lagging Span & Signals
Variables: showTenkan, showKijun, showChikou, showCloud, bullCloudColor, bearCloudColor, cloudLineWidth, laggingColor
Plots: plot(tenkan), plot(kijun), plot(chikou), p1, p2, fill(p1, p2, ...)
What it does
Lets you toggle individual components:
Show/hide Tenkan, Kijun, Chikou, and the cloud.
Customize cloud colors & opacity:
bullCloudColor when Span A > Span B
bearCloudColor when Span A < Span B
Adjust cloud line width for clarity.
How to use it
Turn off components you don’t use (e.g., hide Chikou if you only want cloud + Tenkan/Kijun).
For higher-timeframe or noisy charts, use thicker Kijun & cloud so structure is easier to see.
Graphic
Before
After
3. HTF Cloud Overlay (Multi-Timeframe)
Code sections:
Input group: HTF Cloud Overlay
Vars: showHTFCloud, htfTf, htfAlpha
Logic: request.security(..., ichiCalc(...)) → htfSpanA, htfSpanB
Plots: pHTF1, pHTF2, fill(pHTF1, pHTF2, ...)
What it does
Pulls higher-timeframe Ichimoku cloud (e.g., 1H, 4H, Daily) onto your current chart.
Uses the same Ichimoku settings but aggregates on htfTf.
Plots an extra, semi-transparent cloud ahead of price:
Greenish when HTF Span A > Span B
Reddish when HTF Span B > Span A
How to use it
Trade LTF (e.g., 5m/15m) only in alignment with HTF trend:
HTF cloud bullish + LTF Ichi bullish → look for longs
HTF cloud bearish + LTF Ichi bearish → look for shorts
Treat HTF cloud boundaries as major S/R zones.
Graphic
4. Oracle Module
Code sections:
Input group: Oracle Module
Vars: useOracle, oracleLen, oracleColor, oracleWidth, oracleSlopeLen
Logic: oracleLine = donchian(oracleLen); slope check vs oracleLine
Plot: plot(useOracle ? oracleLine : na, "Oracle", ...)
What it does
Creates a long-term Donchian baseline (default 208 bars).
Uses a simple slope check:
Current Oracle > Oracle oracleSlopeLen bars ago → Oracle Bull
Current Oracle < Oracle oracleSlopeLen bars ago → Oracle Bear
Slope state is also shown in the dashboard (“Bull / Bear / Flat”).
How to use it
Think of Oracle as your macro anchor :
Only take longs when Oracle is sloping up or flat.
Only take shorts when Oracle is sloping down or flat.
Works well combined with HTF cloud:
HTF cloud bullish + Oracle Bull = higher conviction long bias.
Ideal for Gold / Indices swing trades as a trend filter.
Graphic idea
5. Trend Regime Classifier
Code sections:
Input group: Trend Regime Logic
Vars: useTrendRegime, bgTrendOpacity, minTrendScore
Logic:
priceAboveCloud, priceBelowCloud, priceInsideCloud
Tenkan vs Kijun alignment
Cloud bullish/bearish
bullScore / bearScore (0–3)
regime + regimeLabel + regimeColor
Visuals: bgcolor(regimeColor) and optional barcolor() in priceColoring mode.
What it does
Scores the market in three dimensions :
Price vs Cloud
Tenkan vs Kijun
Cloud Direction (Span A vs Span B)
Each condition contributes +1 to either bullScore or bearScore .
Then:
Bull regime when:
bullScore >= minTrendScore and bullScore > bearScore
Price in cloud → “Range”
Everything else → “Transition”
These regimes are shown as:
Background colors:
Teal = Bull
Maroon = Bear
Orange = Range
Silver = Transition
Optional candle recoloring when priceColoring = true.
How to use it
Filters:
Only buy when regime = Bull or Transition and Oracle/HTF agree.
Only sell when regime = Bear or Transition and Oracle/HTF agree.
No trade zone:
When regime = Range (price inside cloud), avoid new entries; wait for break.
Aggressiveness:
Adjust minTrendScore to be stricter (3) or looser (1).
Graphic
6. Signals: Chikou & Cloud Breakout
Code sections :
Logic:
chikouBuySignal = ta.crossover(chikou, close)
chikouSellSignal = ta.crossunder(chikou, close)
cloudBreakUp = priceInsideCloud and priceAboveCloud
cloudBreakDown = priceInsideCloud and priceBelowCloud
What it does
1. Two key signal groups:
Chikou Cross Signals
Buy when Chikou crosses up through price.
Sell when Chikou crosses down through price.
Classic Ichi confirmation idea: Chikou breaking free of price cluster.
2. Cloud Breakout Signals
Long trigger: yesterday inside cloud → today price breaks above cloud.
Short trigger: yesterday inside cloud → today price breaks below cloud.
Captures “equilibrium → expansion” moves.
These are conditions only in this version (no chart shapes yet) but are fully wired for alerts. (Future Updates)
How to use it
Use Chikou signals as confirmation, not standalone entries:
Eg., Bull regime + Oracle Bull + cloud breakout + Chikou Buy.
Use Cloud Breakouts to catch the first impulsive leg after consolidation.
Graphic
7. Alerts (Automation Ready)
[
b]Code sections:
Input group: Alerts
Vars: useAlertTrend, useAlertChikou, useAlertCloudBO
Alert lines like: "FxAST Ichi Bull Trend", "FxAST Ichi Bull Trend", "FxAST Ichi Cloud Break Up"
What it does
Provides ready-made alert hooks for:
Trend regime (Bull / Bear)
Chikou cross buy/sell
Cloud breakout up/down
Each type can be globally toggled on/off via the inputs (helpful if a user only wants one kind).
How to use it
In TradingView: set alerts using “Any alert() function call” on this indicator.
Then filter which ones fire by:
Turning specific alert toggles on/off in input panel, or
Filtering text in your external bot / webhook side.
Example simple workflow ---> Indicator ---> TV Alert ---> Webhook ---> Bot/Broker
8. FxAST Dashboard
Code sections:
Input group: Dashboard
Vars: showDashboard, dashPos, dash, dashInit
Helper: getDashPos() → position.*
Table cells (updated on barstate.islast):
Row 0: Regime + label
Row 1: Oracle status (Bull / Bear / Flat / Off)
Row 2: HTF Cloud (On + TF / Off)
Row 3: Scores (BullScore / BearScore)
What it does
Displays a compact panel with the state of the whole system :
Current Trend Regime (Bull / Bear / Transition / Range)
Oracle slope state
Whether HTF Cloud is active + which timeframe
Raw Bull / Bear scores (0–3 each)
Position can be set: Top Right, Top Left, Bottom Right, Bottom Left.
How to use it
Treat it like a pilot instrument cluster :
Quick glance: “Are my trend, oracle and HTF all aligned?”
Great for streaming / screenshots: everything important is visible in one place without reading the code.

Luxy Sector & Industry RS AnalyzerEver wonder why some stocks soar while others in the same sector barely move? Or why your perfectly timed entry still loses money? Possibly the answer can be found in Relative Strength.
The Luxy Sector & Industry RS Analyzer solves a critical problem that most traders overlook: picking strong stocks in strong sectors AND strong industries . It's not enough for a stock to go up - you want stocks that are crushing their competition at both the sector AND industry level. This indicator does the heavy lifting by automatically comparing your stock against its sector ETF, industry ETF, the broader market, sector leader, and industry leader, giving you a complete multi-level picture of relative performance.
What makes this different?
- Automatic sector AND industry detection - no manual setup required
- Multi-level hierarchy analysis: Market → Sector → Industry → Stock
- Multi-timeframe analysis (1 month to 1 year) in one glance
- Industry ETF mapping (30+ industries covered)
- Clear 0-100 scoring system with letter grades (A+ to F)
- Works on stocks, crypto, forex, and commodities
- Real-time updates with anti-repaint protection
Think of it as your performance dashboard - instantly showing you if you're trading a champion or a laggard at every level of the market hierarchy.
METHODOLOGY & ATTRIBUTION
This indicator is based on classical Relative Strength (RS) analysis principles from technical analysis. RS methodology compares an asset's price performance against a benchmark to identify relative outperformance or underperformance. This concept has been used by professional traders and institutions for decades.
Key Concepts Used:
Relative Strength (RS) - Classical technical analysis concept measuring comparative performance
Multi-Level Hierarchy Analysis - Market → Sector → Industry → Stock comparison
Sector Rotation Analysis - Identifying which sectors are leading or lagging the market
Industry Rotation Analysis - Identifying which industries are leading within their sectors
Multi-period Performance Analysis - Evaluating strength across multiple timeframes
Beta Calculation - Standard statistical measure of volatility relative to a benchmark
DISCLAIMER: This indicator is for educational and informational purposes only. It should not be considered financial advice or a recommendation to buy or sell. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Trading involves risk and may not be suitable for all investors. Always do your own research and consult with a financial advisor before making investment decisions.
with all rows visible - capture when stock has strong RS score (70+) so users can see what a "good" setup looks like]
WHAT THE INDICATOR SHOWS
1. AUTOMATIC ASSET TYPE DETECTION
The indicator automatically identifies what you're analyzing and adjusts accordingly:
Stocks - Compares to sector ETF (XLK, XLF, XLV, etc.) and SPY
Crypto - Compares to Total Crypto Market Cap and Bitcoin
Forex - Compares to relevant currency index (DXY, EXY, etc.)
Commodities - Compares to Gold (GLD) as benchmark
Indices - Compares to broader market indices
How it works: The indicator reads your chart's asset type and ticker, then automatically maps it to the correct sector or benchmark. For stocks, it uses intelligent sector detection (looking at the sector field) to match you with the right sector ETF. For example:
- Technology stocks get compared to XLK (Technology Select Sector SPDR)
- Financial stocks get compared to XLF (Financial Select Sector SPDR)
- Healthcare stocks get compared to XLV (Health Care Select Sector SPDR)
This happens instantly when you add the indicator to any chart - no configuration needed.
2. SECTOR & MARKET BENCHMARKS
What is a Sector ETF?
A sector ETF is an exchange-traded fund that tracks a specific industry group. For example, XLK contains all major technology companies. By comparing your stock to its sector ETF, you can see if your stock is outperforming or underperforming its peers.
The indicator shows three key comparison points:
Stock vs Sector (Benchmark)
This tells you how your stock performs compared to companies in the same industry. Positive numbers mean your stock is beating the sector average. Negative numbers mean it's lagging behind.
Stock vs Market (SPY)
This shows performance against the broader S&P 500 index. This is important because even if a stock beats its sector, the entire sector might be weak. You want stocks that beat both their sector AND the market.
Sector vs Market
This reveals "sector rotation" - whether money is flowing into or out of this sector. When this number is positive, the whole sector is hot and leading the market. This is powerful because strong sectors tend to lift all boats, making it easier to find winners.
3. MULTI-PERIOD PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS
The indicator calculates performance across four timeframes simultaneously:
1 Month (1M) - Recent short-term momentum
3 Months (3M) - Medium-term trend strength
6 Months (6M) - Longer-term positioning
1 Year (1Y) - Full-cycle performance view
Why multiple periods matter:
A stock might look great over 1 month but terrible over 6 months - that's a red flag. The best stocks show consistent strength across all timeframes . When you see positive RS (Relative Strength) values across all four periods, you've found a stock with sustained outperformance.
Each row in the table shows:
- Raw performance percentage for that period
- RS value (the difference compared to benchmark)
- Color coding: Green for positive, red for negative, white for neutral
4. SECTOR LEADER COMPARISON
The indicator automatically identifies and compares your stock to the sector leader - the dominant stock in that industry.
Sector leaders by industry:
Technology: Apple (AAPL)
Healthcare: UnitedHealth (UNH)
Financial: JPMorgan Chase (JPM)
Energy: ExxonMobil (XOM)
Consumer Discretionary: Amazon (AMZN)
Consumer Staples: Walmart (WMT)
And more...
Why this matters:
Comparing to the leader shows you if you're trading a champion or a follower. If your stock consistently beats the sector leader, you've found something special. If it's lagging the leader, you might want to trade the leader instead.
Optional Custom Leader:
You can override the automatic leader and compare to any stock you choose. This is useful if you want to benchmark against a specific competitor or reference stock.
NEW! INDUSTRY ANALYSIS (STOCKS ONLY)
The indicator now provides multi-level analysis by automatically detecting and comparing your stock to its specific industry , not just the broad sector.
Why Industry matters:
Technology sector (XLK) contains many different industries: Software, Semiconductors, Hardware, etc. A software stock might beat the broad tech sector but lag behind other software companies. Industry analysis provides this granular view.
Industry ETF Mapping (30+ industries):
Software/Applications: IGV (iShares Software ETF)
Semiconductors: SMH (VanEck Semiconductor ETF)
Biotech: IBB (iShares Biotechnology ETF)
Pharmaceuticals: XPH (SPDR Pharmaceuticals ETF)
Banks: KBE (SPDR S&P Bank ETF)
Regional Banks: KRE (SPDR Regional Banking ETF)
Oil & Gas Exploration: XOP (SPDR Oil & Gas Exploration ETF)
Homebuilders: XHB (SPDR Homebuilders ETF)
Retail: XRT (SPDR S&P Retail ETF)
Aerospace & Defense: ITA (iShares U.S. Aerospace & Defense ETF)
And many more...
Industry Leader Mapping:
The indicator also identifies the leader within each industry:
Software: Microsoft (MSFT)
Semiconductors: NVIDIA (NVDA)
Biotech: Amgen (AMGN)
Pharmaceuticals: Eli Lilly (LLY)
Banks: JPMorgan (JPM)
Oil Exploration: ConocoPhillips (COP)
And more...
New Table Rows for Stocks:
Industry ETF Performance - How the specific industry performed (green background)
Industry Leader Performance - How the top stock in the industry performed
vs Industry RS - Your stock's outperformance vs its industry ETF
Industry vs Sector RS - Is this industry hot or cold within its sector?
vs Industry Leader RS - Your stock's performance vs the industry's best
Why this is powerful:
A stock that beats both its sector AND its industry is showing strength at every level. This indicates true relative strength, not just riding sector-wide momentum.
Optional Custom Industry:
You can override automatic detection for both Industry ETF and Industry Leader in settings.
5. RS SCORE & GRADING SYSTEM (0-100)
The heart of the indicator is the RS Score - a weighted calculation that distills all the performance data into one clear number from 0 to 100.
How the score is calculated:
FOR STOCKS (with Industry data):
The indicator splits the weight between Sector (60%) and Industry (40%):
SECTOR RS (60% of total weight):
1 Month RS: 24% weight (40% × 0.6)
3 Month RS: 18% weight (30% × 0.6)
6 Month RS: 12% weight (20% × 0.6)
1 Year RS: 6% weight (10% × 0.6)
INDUSTRY RS (40% of total weight):
1 Month RS: 16% weight (40% × 0.4)
3 Month RS: 12% weight (30% × 0.4)
6 Month RS: 8% weight (20% × 0.4)
1 Year RS: 4% weight (10% × 0.4)
FOR OTHER ASSETS (Crypto, Forex, Commodities):
Uses full 100% weight on benchmark:
1 Month RS: 40% weight
3 Month RS: 30% weight
6 Month RS: 20% weight
1 Year RS: 10% weight
It starts at 50 (neutral) and adds or subtracts points based on your asset's relative strength in each period.
Bonus points:
+5 points if the sector is outperforming the market (sector rotation is bullish)
+5 points if the industry is outperforming its sector (hot industry) - STOCKS ONLY
+5 points if RS momentum is improving (getting stronger over time)
-5 points if RS momentum is declining (getting weaker)
The final score is capped between 0-100.
Letter Grade System:
90-100: A+ - Elite performer, crushing the sector
85-89: A - Excellent, strong outperformer
80-84: A- - Very good, above average
75-79: B+ - Good, solid performer
70-74: B - Above average, decent strength
65-69: B- - Slightly above average
60-64: C+ - Average, neutral strength
55-59: C - Below average
50-54: C- - Weak, slight underperformance
45-49: D+ - Concerning weakness
40-44: D - Poor, significant underperformance
0-39: F - Failing, avoid this stock
What scores mean for trading:
- RS Score above 70: Strong stocks worth considering for long positions
- RS Score 50-70: Average stocks, better opportunities elsewhere
- RS Score below 50: Weak stocks, avoid or consider for shorts
6. CONSISTENCY SCORE
This metric shows what percentage of time periods show positive RS .
For STOCKS (with Industry data):
Counts both Sector RS periods AND Industry RS periods (up to 8 total periods):
- If a stock beats both sector and industry in all 4 periods each: Consistency = 100% (8/8)
- If it beats in 6 out of 8 total periods: Consistency = 75%
- If it beats in 4 out of 8 total periods: Consistency = 50%
For OTHER ASSETS:
Counts benchmark periods only (4 total):
- If it beats benchmark in all 4 periods (1M, 3M, 6M, 1Y): Consistency = 100%
- If it beats in 3 out of 4 periods: Consistency = 75%
- If it beats in 2 out of 4 periods: Consistency = 50%
Why consistency matters:
A high RS Score with low consistency might indicate a recent spike that could fade. The best stocks show both high RS Score AND high consistency - they're strong now AND have been strong historically at both the sector AND industry level.
Look for stocks with:
Consistency above 75%: Very reliable strength across all levels
Consistency 50-75%: Decent but check other metrics
Consistency below 50%: Weak or erratic, proceed with caution
7. BETA CALCULATION (Volatility Measure)
Beta measures how much more volatile your stock is compared to its sector.
Beta > 1.2 : High volatility - stock moves more aggressively than sector (marked as "High")
Beta 0.8-1.2 : Normal volatility - moves roughly in line with sector
Beta < 0.8 : Low volatility - stock is more stable than sector (marked as "Low")
Formula used:
Beta = Correlation(Stock, Sector) × (Standard Deviation of Stock / Standard Deviation of Sector)
This uses a 20-period calculation for reliability.
How to use Beta:
- High Beta stocks offer bigger gains but also bigger risks - good for aggressive traders
- Low Beta stocks are more defensive - good for conservative positions
- Match Beta to your risk tolerance and strategy
8. DAYS ABOVE/BELOW SECTOR
This tracks consecutive periods (bars) where your stock outperforms or underperforms its sector.
Days Above Sector:
Counts how many bars in a row your stock has beaten the sector.
10+ days: Strong sustained strength (shown in bright green)
5-9 days: Building momentum (shown in yellow)
1-4 days: Early strength (shown in white)
0 days: Not currently outperforming
Days Below Sector:
Counts how many bars in a row your stock has lagged the sector.
10+ days: Sustained weakness (shown in bright red)
5-9 days: Losing momentum (shown in orange)
1-4 days: Minor weakness (shown in white)
0 days: Not underperforming (this is good!)
Why this matters:
Long streaks show trend persistence. A stock with 15+ days above sector is riding strong momentum. A stock with 15+ days below sector is in a sustained downtrend relative to peers.
9. PRICE VS 52-WEEK HIGH
Shows where current price sits relative to its 52-week high (or equivalent for your timeframe).
95%+ (green) : Stock is near all-time highs - strong positioning
80-94% (yellow) : Stock is in a pullback but still relatively strong
Below 80% : Stock has pulled back significantly from highs
Why this matters:
The strongest stocks stay near their highs. When you see a stock with high RS Score AND price near 52W high, you've found a stock with institutional support and strong buying pressure.
10. RELATIVE VOLUME
Compares current volume to the 20-period average volume.
1.5x+ (green) : High volume - significant interest and participation
Around 1.0x : Average volume - normal trading activity
Below 1.0x : Low volume - less interest or inactive period
Why volume matters:
High relative volume confirms price moves. When a stock makes a strong move on 2x or 3x normal volume, it's more likely to sustain. Low volume moves are often just noise.
11. AVERAGE RS STRENGTH
This calculates the average absolute value of all RS readings across the four timeframes.
It shows the magnitude of divergence from the sector, regardless of direction. A high number means the stock moves very differently from its sector (could be much stronger or much weaker). A low number means it tracks closely with the sector.
High Average RS: Stock has strong character, moves independently
Low Average RS: Stock follows sector closely, lacks individual strength
12. SECTOR ROTATION SIGNAL
This indicator automatically detects when a sector is experiencing bullish rotation - meaning money is flowing into the sector and it's outperforming the broader market.
Condition for bullish rotation:
Sector must be beating SPY (market) in both 1-month AND 3-month periods.
Why this matters:
Stocks in hot sectors tend to perform better because they have tailwinds from sector-wide buying. When sector rotation is bullish and your stock has a high RS Score, you've found an ideal setup.
The indicator adds +5 bonus points to the RS Score when sector rotation is bullish.
13. MOMENTUM DETECTION
The indicator compares 1-month RS to 3-month RS to detect if momentum is improving or declining.
RS Momentum Improving: 1M RS is better than 3M RS - stock is getting stronger (adds +5 to score)
RS Momentum Declining: 1M RS is worse than 3M RS - stock is getting weaker (subtracts -5 from score)
Why momentum matters:
You want to catch stocks as momentum is building, not after it's already peaked. Improving momentum suggests the strength is accelerating, not fading.
14. OVERALL ASSESSMENT & RECOMMENDATION
The indicator provides two quick summary rows:
Overall Rating:
Based on grade and RS Score, you get an instant quality rating:
Strong Leader (A/A+) - Top tier stock, crushing it
Above Average (A-/B+) - Solid performer, better than most
Average (B/B-) - Middle of the pack
Below Average (C/C+) - Struggling, watch carefully
Underperformer (D/F) - Weak stock, underperforming badly
Trading Signal:
Combines multiple factors to give setup quality:
STRONG BUY SETUP - RS Score 70+, Consistency 75+, AND sector rotation bullish. This is the perfect storm - strong stock, consistent strength, hot sector.
BULLISH - RS Score 60+, Consistency 50+. Good quality stock worth considering.
NEUTRAL - RS Score 50+. Okay but not exciting, better opportunities exist.
WEAK - RS Score 40-49. Below average, risky.
AVOID - RS Score below 40. Stay away, too weak.
IMPORTANT: These are educational signals only, not financial advice. Always do your own analysis and risk management.

Bearish Divergence: Stock losing to sector by threshold percentage
Set your threshold (default 5%) - this determines how big a divergence triggers the alert.
RS Score Alerts:
Get notified when RS Score crosses your threshold:
Crossed Above: RS Score went from below to above your threshold (bullish)
Crossed Below: RS Score dropped from above to below threshold (bearish)
Set your threshold (default 70) to focus on strong stocks.
Sector Rotation Alert:
Fires when sector shows bullish rotation (outperforming market).
HOW TO USE THE INDICATOR
FOR SWING TRADERS:
1. Add indicator to your watchlist stocks
2. Look for RS Score 70+ with Consistency 75%+
3. Check if sector rotation is bullish (bonus!)
4. Verify price is near 52W high (95%+)
5. Wait for entry setup on your chart
6. Use stop loss below key support
Example Setup:
Stock shows:
- RS Score: 82 (Grade: A-)
- Consistency: 100% (strong across all periods)
- Sector Rotation: Bullish
- Price vs 52W High: 96%
- Days Above Sector: 12 days
- Relative Volume: 1.8x
This is a textbook strong stock in a hot sector near highs - ideal for swing long.
FOR POSITION TRADERS:
1. Focus on 6-month and 1-year RS values
2. Look for sustained outperformance (Consistency 75%+)
3. Prefer lower Beta stocks (less volatility)
4. Check Days Above Sector for trend persistence
5. Monitor RS Score monthly, exit if drops below 60
FOR ACTIVE TRADERS:
1. Use on intraday timeframes (1H or 4H)
2. Set RS Score filter to 60+ for quick screening
3. Enable Divergence Alerts
4. Watch for momentum improving signal
5. Higher Beta stocks offer more movement
FOR SHORT SELLERS:
1. Look for RS Score below 40 (Grade: D or F)
2. Check for declining momentum
3. Verify Days Below Sector is increasing (10+)
4. Sector rotation should be bearish
5. Price should be well off 52W high
WHAT MAKES A PERFECT SETUP:
The holy grail combination:
RS Score: 75+ (A- or better)
Consistency: 80%+ (strong across time - beats sector AND industry)
Sector Rotation: Bullish (hot sector)
Industry vs Sector: Positive (hot industry within sector)
Days Above Sector: 10+ (sustained strength)
Momentum: Improving (getting stronger)
Price vs 52W High: 90%+ (near highs)
Relative Volume: 1.5x+ (volume confirmation)
When you find this combination, you've located a stock with every advantage in its favor - strong at the stock level, industry level, AND sector level. That's multi-level confirmation of relative strength.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: What does RS Score of 75 actually mean?
A: It means your stock is strongly outperforming its sector across multiple timeframes. The score is weighted toward recent performance (1-month gets 40% weight), so 75 indicates sustained relative strength with emphasis on current momentum.
Q: My stock has high RS Score but is going down. Why?
A: RS Score measures relative performance (vs sector/market), not absolute price direction. A stock can fall 5% while its sector falls 10% - that's still positive relative strength. In bear markets or sector corrections, high RS stocks often fall less than peers.
Q: Should I only trade stocks with RS Score above 70?
A: For long positions, yes - focus on 70+ scores. These stocks have proven they can beat their sector. However, for pairs trading or relative value plays, you might also short stocks with scores below 40 while longing stocks above 70.
Q: What if my stock doesn't have a sector?
A: The indicator handles this gracefully. If no sector is detected, it will compare directly to the market (SPY for stocks). Some rows may show N/A, but the indicator will still provide useful market-relative data.
Q: Why does the sector sometimes show N/A?
A: This happens when: 1) Your asset has no sector classification, 2) The stock IS the sector ETF itself, 3) You're analyzing a non-stock asset (crypto, forex, commodity). The indicator adapts by focusing on market-relative metrics instead.
Q: Can I use this on cryptocurrencies?
A: Yes! The indicator automatically detects crypto and compares to the Total Crypto Market Cap (CRYPTOCAP:TOTAL). You can also set a custom leader like Bitcoin (BTCUSD) to compare against the dominant crypto.
Q: What's the difference between RS Score and Consistency?
A: RS Score is the weighted average of how much you're beating the sector (magnitude). Consistency is what percentage of time periods show outperformance (reliability). You want both high - that means strong AND consistent.
Q: Do the alerts repaint?
A: No. All alerts fire only on bar close (barstate.isconfirmed) and use properly configured data with lookahead=off. Once an alert fires, it's final and won't change.
Q: What timeframe should I use?
A: For swing trading: Daily or Weekly. For day trading: 1H or 4H. For position trading: Weekly. Use "Chart Timeframe" mode and switch your chart timeframe to change the analysis period easily.
Q: Why is Days Above Sector showing 0?
A: This means your stock is not currently outperforming its sector. If Days Below Sector is also 0, it means the RS is exactly neutral (very rare). Check the actual RS values to see current standing.
Q: Can I compare to a different market benchmark than SPY?
A: Currently the indicator uses SPY (S&P 500) as the default US stock market benchmark. For crypto it uses CRYPTOCAP:TOTAL, for forex it uses currency indices, etc. The benchmark auto-adjusts based on asset type.
Q: What's a good Beta value?
A: It depends on your strategy. Aggressive traders prefer Beta above 1.2 (more volatility = bigger moves). Conservative traders prefer Beta 0.8-1.0 (more stable). Beta is neutral - it's about matching your risk tolerance.
Q: How often does the table update?
A: With Real-time Indicator enabled: Every tick (constant updates). With it disabled: Only on bar close. Either way, the underlying data is identical and non-repainting - the toggle only affects update frequency and the clock icon display.
Q: My stock is showing "AVOID" but it's up 50% this year. Is the indicator wrong?
A: Not necessarily. The indicator measures RELATIVE performance. If your stock is up 50% but the sector is up 100%, your stock is actually underperforming by 50%. The indicator helps you identify when you should switch to stronger stocks in the same sector.
Q: What does "Strong Buy Setup" really mean?
A: It means three things aligned: 1) RS Score above 70 (strong stock), 2) Consistency above 75% (reliable strength), 3) Sector rotation is bullish (hot sector). This combination historically correlates with stocks that continue outperforming. However, this is NOT financial advice - always do your own analysis.
Q: Can I use this for options trading?
A: Yes! High RS Score stocks make good candidates for call options (bullish bets) while low RS Score stocks may work for puts (bearish bets). Higher Beta stocks will have more volatile options (higher premiums but more movement).
Q: Why is my crypto showing N/A for sector?
A: Cryptocurrencies don't have "sectors" like stocks do. Instead, the indicator compares crypto to the total crypto market cap. This is normal and expected behavior.
Q: What happens if I'm analyzing an ETF?
A: If you're analyzing a sector ETF (like XLK), it will compare to SPY (market). If you're analyzing SPY itself, some comparisons won't be available (can't compare SPY to itself). The indicator intelligently adapts to avoid circular comparisons.
Q: What if my stock doesn't have industry data?
A: Not all stocks are mapped to specific industries (only 30+ major industries are covered). If no industry is detected, the indicator will still work using only sector analysis. The RS Score calculation will use 100% sector weight instead of the 60%/40% split.
Q: Why does Industry vs Sector matter?
A: Industry vs Sector shows if your specific industry is hot or cold within its broader sector. For example, Semiconductors (SMH) might be outperforming Technology sector (XLK) even though both are up. This helps you find not just strong sectors, but the strongest industries within those sectors.
Q: Can I disable Industry analysis?
A: Yes! In the "Industry Analysis" settings group, you can toggle off "Show Industry Analysis in Table" to hide all industry rows. However, even when hidden, industry data still contributes to the RS Score calculation for stocks.
Q: Why is my Consistency Score lower for stocks than other assets?
A: For stocks with industry data, Consistency counts 8 periods (4 Sector + 4 Industry periods) instead of just 4. This means the bar is higher - your stock needs to beat both sector AND industry consistently. A stock that beats sector in all 4 periods but lags industry in 2 periods will show 75% consistency (6/8), not 100%.
BEST PRACTICES
Use as a screening tool - Set RS Score filter to 70+ and quickly scan your watchlist. Only strong stocks will show the table.
Combine with technical analysis - RS Score tells you WHAT to trade, your chart tells you WHEN to enter.
Check multiple timeframes - Switch between Daily and Weekly to see if strength holds across different time horizons.
Monitor sector rotation - When sector goes from bearish to bullish rotation, it's often a great time to enter stocks in that sector.
Watch Industry vs Sector - Stocks in hot industries within hot sectors have double tailwinds. Prioritize Industry vs Sector positive values.
Pay attention to consistency - High RS Score with low consistency might be a spike that fades. Look for 70%+ consistency across BOTH sector and industry.
Use the leader comparison - If your stock consistently beats both sector leader AND industry leader, you may have found the next champion.
Watch days above/below sector - Long streaks (15+ days) indicate strong trends. Look for these in conjunction with high RS Score.
Set alerts on key stocks - Enable RS Score alerts at 70 threshold to get notified when watchlist stocks become strong.
Consider Beta for position sizing - Size smaller positions in high Beta stocks, larger in low Beta stocks for balanced risk.
Exit when RS Score drops - If a stock's RS Score falls below 60, consider reducing or exiting - the strength may be fading.
Leverage industry-level insight - If Industry ETF is weak but stock is strong, that's standout strength. If Industry is hot but stock is lagging, consider switching to the industry leader instead.

WHAT THIS INDICATOR DOESN'T DO
To set proper expectations:
Does NOT provide entry/exit signals - this is a strength analyzer, not a trading system
Does NOT predict future price movement - shows current and historical relative strength
Does NOT guarantee profits - strong RS stocks can still decline
Does NOT replace your own analysis - use as one tool among many
Does NOT work on stocks with no sector data - will adapt but some rows show N/A
This indicator is a decision support tool . It helps you identify which stocks are showing relative strength so you can make more informed trading decisions. You still need your own entry strategy, risk management, and position sizing rules.

FINAL REMINDER
This indicator is a tool for analyzing relative strength - it shows you which stocks are outperforming their sector and market. It does NOT provide financial advice or trade signals. Always conduct your own research, manage your risk appropriately, and consult with a financial advisor before making investment decisions.
Past performance of relative strength does not guarantee future results. Strong stocks can become weak, and sectors rotate in and out of favor. Use this indicator as part of a comprehensive trading strategy, not as a standalone decision-making system.
Trade smart, manage risk, and may your RS Scores stay high!

Multi-Symbol EMA Crossover Scanner with Multi-Timeframe AnalysisDescription
What This Indicator Does:
This indicator is a comprehensive market scanner that monitors up to 10 symbols simultaneously across 4 different timeframes (15-minute, 1-hour, 4-hour, and daily) to detect exponential moving average (EMA) crossovers in real-time. Instead of manually checking multiple charts and timeframes for EMA crossover signals, this scanner automatically does the work for you and presents all detected signals in a clean, organized table that updates continuously throughout the trading session.
Key Features:
Multi-Symbol Monitoring: Scan up to 10 different symbols at once (stocks, forex, crypto, or any TradingView symbol)
Multi-Timeframe Analysis: Simultaneously tracks 4 timeframes (15m, 1H, 4H, 1D) with toggle options to enable/disable each
Comprehensive EMA Pairs: Detects crossovers between all major EMA combinations: 20×50, 20×100, 20×200, 50×100, 50×200, and 100×200
Real-Time Signal Feed: Displays the most recent signals in a sorted table (newest first) with timestamp, direction, price, and EMA pair information
Session Filter: Built-in time filter (default 10:00-18:00) to focus on specific trading hours and avoid pre-market/after-hours noise
Pagination System: Navigate through signals using a page selector when you have more signals than fit in one view
Signal Statistics: Footer displays total signals, bullish/bearish breakdown, and page navigation hints
Customizable Display: Choose table position (4 corners), signals per page (5-20), and maximum signal history (10-100)
How It Works:
The scanner uses the request.security() function to fetch EMA data from multiple symbols and timeframes simultaneously. For each symbol-timeframe combination, it calculates four exponential moving averages (20, 50, 100, and 200 periods) and monitors for crossovers:
Bullish Crossovers (▲ Green):
Faster EMA crosses above slower EMA
Indicates potential upward momentum
Common entry signals for long positions
Bearish Crossovers (▼ Red):
Faster EMA crosses below slower EMA
Indicates potential downward momentum
Common entry signals for short positions or exits
The scanner prioritizes crossovers involving faster EMAs (20×50) over slower ones (100×200), as faster crossovers typically generate more frequent signals. Each detected crossover is stored with its timestamp, allowing the scanner to sort signals chronologically and remove duplicates within the same timeframe.
Signal Table Columns:
Sym: Symbol name (abbreviated, e.g., "ASELS" instead of "BIST:ASELS")
TF: Timeframe where the crossover occurred (15m, 1h, 4h, 1D)
⏰: Exact time of the crossover (HH:MM format in Istanbul timezone)
↕: Direction indicator (▲ bullish green / ▼ bearish red)
₺: Price level where the crossover occurred (average of the two EMAs)
MA: Which EMA pair crossed (e.g., "20×50", "50×200")
How to Use:
For Day Traders:
Enable 15m and 1h timeframes
Monitor symbols from your watchlist
Use crossovers as entry timing signals in the direction of the larger trend
Adjust the time filter to match your trading session (e.g., market open to 2 hours before close)
For Swing Traders:
Enable 4h and 1D timeframes
Focus on 50×200 and 100×200 crossovers (golden/death crosses)
Look for multiple timeframe confluence (same symbol showing bullish crossovers on both 4h and 1D)
Use as a pre-market scanner to identify potential setups for the day
For Multi-Market Traders:
Mix symbols from different markets (stocks, forex, crypto)
Use the scanner to identify which markets are showing the most momentum
Track relative strength by comparing crossover frequency across symbols
Identify rotation opportunities when one asset shows bullish signals while another shows bearish
Setup Recommendations:
Default BIST (Turkish Stock Market) Setup:
The code comes pre-configured with 10 popular BIST stocks:
ASELS, EKGYO, THYAO, AKBNK, PGSUS, ASTOR, OTKAR, ALARK, ISCTR, BIMAS
For US Stocks:
Replace with symbols like: NASDAQ:AAPL, NASDAQ:TSLA, NASDAQ:NVDA, NYSE:JPM, etc.
For Forex:
Use pairs like: FX:EURUSD, FX:GBPUSD, FX:USDJPY, OANDA:XAUUSD, etc.
For Crypto:
Use exchanges like: BINANCE:BTCUSDT, COINBASE:ETHUSD, BINANCE:SOLUSDT, etc.
Settings Guide:
Symbol List (10 inputs):
Enter any valid TradingView symbol in "EXCHANGE:TICKER" format
Use symbols you actively trade or monitor
Mix different asset classes if desired
Timeframe Toggles:
15 Minutes: High-frequency signals, best for day trading
1 Hour: Balanced frequency, good for intraday swing trades
4 Hours: Lower frequency, quality swing trade signals
1 Day: Low frequency, major trend changes only
Time Filter:
Start Hour (10): Beginning of your trading session
End Hour (18): End of your trading session
Prevents signals during low-liquidity periods
Adjust to match your market's active hours
Display Settings:
Table Position: Choose corner placement (doesn't interfere with other indicators)
Max Signals (40): Total historical signals to keep in memory
Signals Per Page (10): How many rows to show at once
Page Number: Navigate through signal history (auto-adjusts to available pages)
What Makes This Original:
Multi-symbol scanners exist on TradingView, but this indicator's originality comes from:
Comprehensive EMA Pair Coverage: Most scanners focus on 1-2 EMA pairs, this monitors 6 different combinations simultaneously
Unified Multi-Timeframe View: Presents signals from 4 timeframes in a single, chronologically sorted feed rather than separate panels
Session-Aware Filtering: Built-in time filter prevents signal overload from 24-hour markets
Smart Pagination: Handles large signal volumes gracefully with page navigation instead of scrolling
Signal Deduplication: Prevents the same crossover from appearing multiple times if it persists across several bars
Price-at-Cross Recording: Captures the exact price where the crossover occurred, not just that it happened
Real-Time Statistics: Live tracking of bullish vs bearish signal distribution
Trading Strategy Examples:
Trend Confirmation Strategy:
Find a symbol showing bullish crossover on 1D (major trend change)
Wait for pullback
Enter when 1h shows bullish crossover (confirmation)
Exit when 1h shows bearish crossover
Multi-Timeframe Confluence:
Look for symbols appearing multiple times with same direction
Example: ASELS shows ▲ on both 4h and 1D = strong bullish signal
Avoid symbols showing conflicting signals (▲ on 1h but ▼ on 4h)
Rotation Scanner:
Monitor 10+ symbols from the same sector
Identify which are turning bullish (▲) first
Enter leaders, avoid laggards
Rotate out when crossovers turn bearish (▼)
Important Considerations:
Not a Complete System: EMA crossovers should be confirmed with price action, volume, and support/resistance analysis
Whipsaw Risk: During consolidation, EMAs can cross back and forth frequently (especially on 15m timeframe)
Lag: EMAs are lagging indicators; crossovers occur after the move has already begun
False Signals: More common during sideways markets; work best in trending environments
Symbol Limits: TradingView has limits on request.security() calls; this scanner uses 40 calls (10 symbols × 4 timeframes)
Performance: On lower-end devices, scanning 10 symbols across 4 timeframes may cause slight delays in chart updates
Best Practices:
Start with 5 symbols and 2 timeframes, then expand as you get comfortable
Use in conjunction with a main chart for price context
Don't trade every signal—filter for high-quality setups
Backtest your favorite EMA pairs on your symbols to understand their reliability
Adjust the time filter to exclude lunch hours if your market has low midday volume
Check the footer statistics—if you're getting 50+ signals per day, tighten your time filter or reduce symbols
Technical Notes:
Uses lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_off to prevent future data leakage
Signals are stored in arrays and sorted by timestamp (newest first)
Automatic daily reset clears old signals to prevent memory buildup
Table dynamically resizes based on signal count
All times displayed in Europe/Istanbul timezone (configurable in code)
RSI Regime: Continuation vs Reversal Indicator Description: RSI Regime (Continuation vs. Reversal)
This indicator uses the standard Relative Strength Index (RSI) to analyze market momentum and categorize it into three "regimes." Its primary goal is to help you determine if an overbought (OB) or oversold (OS) signal is likely to be a continuation of the current trend or a reversal point.
It also identifies "Fast Trend Starts," which are exceptionally fast and powerful moves from one extreme to the other.
Core Features & How to Read It
1. The Three RSI Regimes (Background Color) The script calculates a moving average (SMA) of the RSI to determine the dominant medium-term momentum. This is shown as the background color:
Bull Regime (Green Background): The RSI's average is high (e.g., above 55). The market is in a clear uptrend.
Bear Regime (Red Background): The RSI's average is low (e.g., below 45). The market is in a clear downtrend.
Range Regime (Orange Background): The RSI's average is in the middle. The market is consolidating or undecided.
2. Overbought (OB) & Oversold (OS) Signals
When the RSI line crosses into the overbought (e.g., >70) or oversold (e.g., <30) zones, the indicator generates one of two types of signals:
A) Continuation Signals (Small Triangles: ►)
These signals suggest an OB/OS reading is just a "pause" and the main trend will likely continue.
Orange ► (at the top): Appears when RSI becomes overbought while the market is already in a Bull Regime. This suggests the uptrend is strong, and this OB signal may not lead to a big drop.
Teal ► (at the bottom): Appears when RSI becomes oversold while the market is already in a Bear Regime. This suggests the downtrend is strong, and this OS signal may not lead to a big bounce.
(Note: An optional Price EMA filter can be enabled to make these signals more strict.)
B) Reversal Signals (Small Labels: "OS→>50" / "OB→<50")
These labels appear after an OB/OS signal to confirm that a reversal has actually occurred.
"OS→>50 Reversal" (Aqua Label): Appears if the RSI becomes oversold and then recovers back above the 50 midline within a set number of bars. This confirms the oversold dip was a reversal point.
"OB→<50 Reversal" (Orange Label): Appears if the RSI becomes overbought and then falls back below the 50 midline within a set number of bars. This confirms the overbought peak was a reversal point.
3. "Fast Trend Starts" (Large Labels)
This is a unique feature that identifies the fastest percentile of market moves. It measures how many bars it takes for the RSI to go from one extreme to the other and flags when a move is in the top 5% (default) of all historical moves.
"Long Pullbacks (Fast OS→BullRange)" (Large Green Label): This powerful signal appears when the RSI moves from oversold (<30) all the way up to the bull range (>60) exceptionally fast. It identifies a very strong, fast, and decisive bounce that could signal the start of a new uptrend.
"Short Pumps (Fast OB→BearRange)" (Large Red Label): This appears when the RSI moves from overbought (>70) all the way down to the bear range (<40) exceptionally fast. It identifies a very sharp, fast rejection or "pump-and-dump" that could signal the start of a new downtrend.
Key User Inputs
RSI Length (14): The lookback period for the main RSI calculation.
OB (70) / OS (30): The standard overbought and oversold levels.
Bull/Bear Range Threshold (60/40): These are the levels used to confirm the "Fast Trend Starts." They are separate from the OB/OS levels.
RSI Regime SMA Length (21): The lookback period for the moving average that determines the background regime.
Use Price EMA filter (true): If checked, the small "Continuation" triangles will only appear if the price is also above (for bulls) or below (for bears) its own 50-period EMA.
Fastest X% duration (5.0): This sets the percentile for the "Fast Trend Start" labels. 5.0 means it only flags moves that are in the fastest 5% of all recorded moves.
Trend Strength IndicatorThis is a Trend Strength Indicator that shows you the immediate trend and historical trend of price for up to 7 higher timeframes.
It shows the strength of each timeframe by showing a red or green dot based on where price is at compared to the previous higher timeframe candle. The brighter red or green the dot is, the stronger the trend is compared to that higher timeframe candle.
The colors and timeframes can be customized to suit your preference and you can also turn off as many timeframes as you’d like if you want less time frames to show up on the indicator.
It also includes alerts for when all timeframes are bullish or all timeframes are bearish.
Keep these timeframes set to higher time frames than your chart so you can trade in the direction of the overall higher timeframe trend.
Bullish Scoring & Colors
If the current candle close is above the midline of the higher time frame candle, it is given a score of 1 and a dark green dot. If the current candle close is above the higher timeframe candle body, then it is given a score of 2 and a medium green dot. If the current candle close is above the high of the higher time frame candle, it is given a score of 3 and a bright green dot.
The higher the score the stronger the bullish trend and the brighter green the dot will be.
Bearish Scoring & Colors
If the current candle close is below the midline of the higher timeframe candle, it is given a score of -1 and a dark red dot. If the current candle close is below the higher timeframe candle body, then it is given a score of -2 and a medium red dot. If the current candle close is below the low of the higher timeframe candle, it is given a score of -3 and a bright red dot.
The lower the score, the stronger the bearish trend and the brighter red the dot will be.

We gave you the option to set the trend scoring mode to either score based on price above or below the midline for quick and easy trend identification, or using the midline, candle body and highs and lows to give you a more detailed view of the trend strength. You can switch between these modes by selecting your preferred mode in the settings panel. The default is Open, High, Low, Close + Midline.
Sending Trend Direction To External Indicators
We coded in the ability to use the trend strength score as a signal that you can use to filter other indicators. This feature is great for notifying signal generating indicators what direction the market is trending in so that the signal generating indicator only gives signals in the direction of the trend.
This feature works by providing a data output of 1, 0 or -1. 1 means the trend is bullish, 0 means the trend is neutral and -1 means the trend is bearish.
This score is calculated by using the score of each timeframe that is turned on and checking if all timeframes are in the same direction or not. So if 3 timeframes are turned on and they are all bullish, the indicator will provide a data output of 1. This tells your external indicators that the trend is bullish.
This data output can be found in the data window and is labeled Trend Direction To Send To External Indicators.
At the bottom of the settings panel, there is a setting called Trend Score Threshold For External Indicators. This setting is the score threshold that all timeframes will need to meet to allow a trend strength signal to go through. So if set to 1, then all timeframes must be scored 1 or higher for bullish or -1 or lower for bearish. If set to 2, then all timeframes must be 2 or higher for bullish or -2 or lower for bearish. If set to 3, then all timeframes must be 3 for bullish or -3 for bearish. If all timeframes have met this threshold, then a bullish or bearish signal can be sent to your external indicator as a trend filter.
Labels
There are labels to the right of each row of dots, telling you which timeframe is which so you can easily identify what timeframe each row is showing the trend for.
Alerts
You can set alerts for when all timeframes are bullish or when all timeframes are bearish. If you have some time frames turned off at the time of creating your alerts, then it will only require all timeframes that are on to be all bullish or bearish to generate an alert. Make sure to set your alerts to once per bar close to ensure you don’t get premature alerts that aren’t yet valid.
Backtesting
This indicator helps you quickly identify and backtest the trend direction, how strong that trend is on multiple timeframes and helps you spot reversals and trend continuations. Make sure you look back at a lot of historical data to see how price moves when trend changes take place and how well price continues in each direction compared to the overall trend. This will help you gain confidence in reading the indicator and using it to your advantage when trading.
Best Way To Use The Indicator
This indicator is designed to help you quickly identify the trend on various different timeframes. The brighter the green dots are, the stronger the bullish trend is. The brighter the red dots are, the stronger the bearish trend is.
Trade in the direction of the trend. If the colors are mixed green and red, then price is likely to chop back and forth, so only trade the extremes of the ranges when that happens.
When most of the lower timeframe dots are the same color, that means it is a strong trend and you should place trades in the direction of the trend to be safe. The lower timeframes will start trending before the higher timeframes, so take notice of the lower timeframe colors starting to agree with each other and then take advantage of the trend that is forming.
You can also spot reversals with this indicator by watching for the lower timeframes to start changing color after a strong trend in one direction. The lower timeframes will start to change color one by one, indicating that the trend is actually changing direction.
For best results, make sure you wait for the trend to show all bullish or all bearish at the same time before you place any trades. If you can be patient enough to do that, you will increase the probability of winning your trade because you are trading with the direction of the overall higher timeframe trend which is typically an easy way to win more trades. Of course wait for pullbacks during the trend so you can keep a tight stop loss after entering your trade.
If you are scalping, you can turn off the higher timeframes and just use the 1 hour through 1 day. This won’t be as reliable as using all timeframes and waiting for them to align, but it is suitable for scalping quick intraday movements.
Other Indicators To Pair This With
Use this in combination with our Higher Timeframe Candle Levels indicator so you can see all of these levels being used to calculate the trend strength scores and watch how price reacts to those levels. You should also use our Breakout Scanner to find other markets with strong trends so you always know which market is trending the strongest and can trade those. Trend Strength Indicator, Higher Timeframe Candle Levels and the Breakout Scanner all use the same levels and calculate the trend scores the same way so they are designed to work all together to help you quickly be able to read a chart and find what direction to trade in.
ALN Sessions Box Breakout — Auto- DSTDevoleper: Sheikh Rakib
What it does
This indicator draws session range boxes for Asia (Dhaka), London, and New York using each market’s own local time (DST-aware). After a session closes, it watches for the first close above the session high or below the session low and then marks that breakout once per session with clear chart markers and optional alerts.
Key features
Auto-DST, per-city timezones
London session uses Europe/London
New York session uses America/New_York
Asia session uses Asia/Dhaka
Your chart timezone doesn’t matter—the sessions track real local hours.
Clean range boxes with adjustable opacity and optional outlines.
Session labels that auto-center at the end of each session.
One-shot breakout signals per session:
Triangle up when price closes above the session high.
Triangle down when price closes below the session low.
Built-in alerts for: session starts and each breakout direction.
Inputs
London / New York / Asia (Dhaka)
Show Session: toggle each session on/off
Time Range: default London 08:00–17:00 (local), New York 08:00–17:00 (local), Asia 06:00–15:00 (Dhaka)
Colour: box color for each session
Settings
Show Session Labels
Show Range Outline
Opacity Preset: Dark / Medium / Light
(UTC Offset input is kept for display, not used in session detection.)
Visuals & alerts
Boxes extend from session open to close, continually updating the high/low.
When the session ends, the final high/low are locked in, the label is centered, and the indicator begins monitoring for a breakout.
Alerts
Session start: Asia/London/New York
Breakouts: “High Breakout” (close > high) and “Low Breakout” (close < low) for each session
Create alerts from the TradingView alert dialog and choose the desired alertcondition.
Logic notes (how signals fire)
While a session is open, its box grows to contain all highs/lows.
On the first bar after close, the script starts listening for a breakout:
Close > session high → one up signal (fires once)
Close < session low → one down signal (fires once)
When the next same session begins, internal flags reset and a new box starts—so signals are inherently scoped to the period between that session’s close and its next open.
Tips
Use on intraday timeframes (e.g., 1m–30m) for clearer box structure.
If you only want specific markets, toggle others off for a cleaner chart.
For systematic entries, combine with your trend/volatility filters and use the breakout alerts as triggers or confirmations—this script doesn’t place trades.
Disclaimer: Market timing and risk management are your responsibility. Past session behavior does not guarantee future performance.
BB SPY Mean Reversion Investment StrategySummary
Mean reversion first, continuation second. This strategy targets equities and ETFs on daily timeframes. It waits for price to revert from a Bollinger location with candle and EMA agreement, then manages risk with ATR based exits. Uniqueness comes from two elements working together. One, an adaptive band multiplier driven by volatility of volatility that expands or contracts the envelope as conditions change. Two, a bias memory that re arms the same direction after any stop, target, or time exit until a true opposite signal appears. Add it to a clean chart, use the markers and levels, and select on bar close for conservative alerts. Shapes can move while the bar is open and settle on close.
Scope and intent
• Markets. Currently adapted for SPY, needs to be optimized for other assets
• Timeframes. Daily primary. Other frames are possible but not the default
• Default demo. SPY on daily
• Purpose. Trade mean reversion entries that can chain into a longer swing by splitting holds into ATR or time segments
Originality and usefulness
• Novelty. Adaptive band width from volatility of volatility plus a persistent bias array that keeps the original direction alive across sequential entries until an opposite setup is confirmed
• Failure modes mitigated. False starts in chop are reduced by candle color and EMA location. Missed continuation after a take profit or stop is addressed by the re arm engine. Oversized envelopes during quiet regimes are avoided by the adaptive multiplier
• Testability. Every module has Inputs and visible levels so users can see why a suggestion appears
• Portable yardstick. All risk and targets are expressed in ATR units
Method overview in plain language
The engine measures where price sits relative to Bollinger bands, confirms with candle color and EMA location, requires ADX for shorts(in our case long close since we use it currently as long only), and optionally requires a trend or mean reversion regime using band width percent rank and basis slope. Risk uses ATR for stop, target, and optional breakeven. A small array stores the last confirmed direction. While flat, the engine keeps a pending order in that direction. The array flips only when a true opposite setup appears.
Base measures
• Range basis. True Range smoothed over a user defined ATR Length
• Return basis. Not required
Components
• Bollinger envelope. SMA length and standard deviation multiplier. Entry is based on cross of close through the band with location bias
• Candle and EMA filter. Close relative to open and close relative to EMA align direction
• ADX gate for shorts. Requires minimum trend strength for short trades
• Adaptive multiplier. Band width scales using volatility of volatility so envelopes breathe with conditions
• Regime gate optional. Band width percent rank and basis slope identify trend or mean reversion regimes
• Risk manager. ATR stop, ATR target, optional breakeven, optional time exit
• Bias memory. Array stores last confirmed direction and re arms entries while flat
Fusion rule
Minimum satisfied gates count style. All required gates must be true. Optional gates are controlled in Inputs. Bias memory never overrides an opposite confirmed setup.
Signal rule
• Long setup when close crosses up through the lower band, the bar closes green, and close is above the long EMA
• Short setup when close crosses down through the upper band, the bar closes red, close is below the short EMA, and ADX is above the minimum
• While flat the model keeps a pending order in the stored direction until a true opposite setup appears
• IN LONG or IN SHORT describes states between entry and exit
What you will see on the chart
• Markers for Long and Short setups
• Exit markers from ATR or time rules
• Reference levels for entry, stop, and target
• Bollinger bands and optional adaptive bands
Inputs with guidance
Setup
• Signal timeframe. Uses the chart timeframe
• Invert direction optional. Flips long and short
Logic
• BB Length. Typical 10 to 50. Higher smooths more
• BB Mult. Typical 1.0 to 2.5. Higher widens entries
• EMA Length long. Typical 10 to 50
• EMA Length short. Typical 5 to 30
• ADX Minimum for short. Typical 15 to 35
Filters
• Regime Type. none or trend or mean reversion
• Rank Lookback. Typical 100 to 300
• Basis Slope Length and Threshold. Larger values reduce false trends
Risk
• ATR Length. Typical 10 to 21
• ATR Stop Mult. Typical 1.0 to 3.0
• ATR Take Profit Mult. Typical 2.0 to 5.0
• Breakeven Trigger R. Move stop to entry after the chosen multiple
• Time Exit. Minimum bars and extension when profit exceeds a fraction of ATR
Bias and rearm
• Bias flips kept. Array depth
• Keep rearm when flat. Maintain a pending order while flat
UI
• Show markers and levels. Clean defaults
Usage recipes
Alerts update in real time and can change while the bar forms. Select on bar close for conservative workflows.

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

EMA100 Breakout by shubhThis indicator is a clean, price-action-based breakout system designed for disciplined trend trading on any timeframe — especially for Nifty and Bank Nifty spot, futures, and options charts.
It uses a single 100-period EMA to define trend direction and waits for decisive candle closes across the EMA to trigger potential entries.
The logic ensures only one active trade at a time, enforcing patience and clarity in decision-making.
⚙️ Core Logic
Buy Setup
A bullish candle closes above the 100 EMA while its open was below the EMA.
Entry occurs at candle close.
Stop-Loss (SL): Low of the signal candle.
Target (TP): 4 × the SL distance (Risk : Reward = 1 : 4).
Sell Setup
A bearish candle closes below the 100 EMA while its open was above the EMA.
Entry occurs at candle close.
Stop-Loss (SL): High of the signal candle.
Target (TP): 4 × the SL distance.
Trade Management
Only one trade may run at a time (either long or short).
New signals are ignored until the current position hits SL or TP.
Transparent labels show Entry, SL, and TP levels on chart.
Dotted lines visualize active Stop-Loss (red) and Target (green).
Exit markers:
✅ Target Hit
❌ Stop Loss Hit
🧠 Key Advantages
Simple and transparent trend-following logic.
Enforces disciplined “one-trade-at-a-time” behavior.
High risk-to-reward (1 : 4).
Works across timeframes — 5 min to Daily.
Ideal for intraday and positional setups.
📊 Suggested Use
Apply on Nifty / Bank Nifty spot or futures charts.
Works on any instrument with clear momentum swings.
Best confirmation when EMA 100 acts as dynamic support/resistance.

Weis Wave Volume MTF 🎯 Indicator Name
Weis Wave Volume (Multi‑Timeframe) — adapted from the original “Weis Wave Volume by LazyBear.”
This version adds multi‑timeframe (MTF) readings, configurable colors, font size, and screen position for clear dashboard‑style display.
🧠 Concept Background — What is Weis Wave Volume (WWV)?
The Weis Wave Volume indicator originates from Wyckoff and David Weis’ techniques.
Its purpose is to link price movement “waves” with the amount of traded volume to reveal how strong or weak each wave is.
Instead of showing bars one by one, WWV accumulates the total volume while price keeps moving in the same direction.
When price direction changes (up → down or down → up), it:
Finishes the previous wave volume total.
Starts a new wave and begins accumulating again.
Those wave volumes help traders see:
Effort vs Result: Big volume with small price move ⇒ absorption; low volume with big move ⇒ weak participation.
Trend confirmation or exhaustion: High volume waves in trend direction strengthen it, while low‑volume waves hint exhaustion.
⚙️ How this Script Works
Trend & Wave Detection
Compares close with the previous bar to determine up or down movement (mov).
Detects trend reversals (when mov direction changes).
Builds “waves,” each representing a continuous run of bars in one direction.
Volume Accumulation
While price keeps the same direction, the script adds each bar’s volume to the running total (vol).
When direction flips, it resets that total and starts a new wave.
Multi‑Timeframe Computation
Calculates these wave volumes on three timeframes at once, chosen dynamically:
Active Chart Timeframe Displays WWV for:
1 min 1 min
5 min 5 min
15 min 15 min
Any other Chart TF
It uses request.security() to pull each timeframe’s latest WWV value and current wave direction.
Visual Output
Instead of plotting histogram bars, it shows a table with three numeric values:
WWV (1): 25.3 M | (15): 312 M | (240): 2.46 B
Each value is color‑coded:
user‑selected Uptrend Color when price wave = up
user‑selected Downtrend Color when wave = down
You can position this small table in any corner/center (top / bottom × left / center / right).
Font size is user‑adjustable (Tiny → Huge).
📈 How Traders Use It
Quickly gauge buying vs selling effort across multiple horizons.
Compare short‑term wave volume to higher‑timeframe waves to spot:
Alignment → all up and big volumes = strong trend
Divergence → small or opposite‑colored higher‑TF wave = potential reversal or pause
Combine with Wyckoff, VSA, or standard trend analysis to judge if a breakout or pullback has real participation.
🧩 Key Features of This Version
Feature Description
Multi‑Timeframe Panel Displays WWV values for 3 selected TFs at once
Dynamic TF Mapping Auto‑adjusts which TFs to use based on chart
Up/Down Color Coding Customizable colors for wave direction
Adjustable Font and Placement Set font size (Tiny→Huge) and screen corner/center
No Histograms Keeps chart clean; acts as a compact WWV dashboard
ATR x Trend x Volume SignalsATR x Trend x Volume Signals is a multi-factor indicator that combines volatility, trend, and volume analysis into one adaptive framework. It is designed for traders who use technical confluence and prefer clear, rule-based setups.
🎯 Purpose
This tool identifies high-probability market moments when volatility structure (ATR), momentum direction (CCI-based trend logic), and volume expansion all align. It helps filter out noise and focus on clean, actionable trade conditions.
⚙️ Structure
The indicator consists of three main analytical layers:
1️⃣ ATR Trailing Stop – calculates two adaptive ATR lines (fast and slow) that define volatility context, trend bias, and potential reversal points.
2️⃣ Trend Indicator (CCI + ATR) – uses a CCI-based logic combined with ATR smoothing to determine the dominant trend direction and reduce false flips.
3️⃣ Volume Analysis – evaluates volume deviations from their historical average using standard deviation. Bars are highlighted as medium, high, or extra-high volume depending on intensity.
💡 Signal Logic
A Buy Signal (green) appears when all of the following are true:
• The ATR (slow) line is green.
• The Trend Indicator is blue.
• A bullish candle closes above both the ATR (slow) and the Trend Indicator.
• The candle shows medium, high, or extra-high volume.
A Sell Signal (red) appears when:
• The ATR (slow) line is red.
• The Trend Indicator is red.
• A bearish candle closes below both the ATR (slow) and the Trend Indicator.
• The candle shows medium, high, or extra-high volume.
Only one signal can appear per ATR trend phase. A new signal is generated only after the ATR direction changes.
❌ Exit Logic
Exit markers are shown when price crosses the slow ATR line. This behavior simulates a trailing stop exit. The exit is triggered one bar after entry to prevent same-bar exits.
⏰ Session Filter
Signals are generated only between the user-defined session start and end times (default: 14:00–18:00 chart time). This allows the trader to limit signal generation to active trading hours.
💬 Practical Use
It is recommended to trade with a fixed risk-reward ratio such as 1 : 1.5. Stop-loss placement should be beyond the slow ATR line and adjusted gradually as the trade develops.
For better confirmation, the Trend Indicator timeframe should be higher than the chart timeframe (for example: trading on 1 min → set Trend Indicator timeframe to 15 min; trading on 5 min → set to 1 hour).
🧠 Main Features
• Dual ATR volatility structure (fast and slow)
• CCI-based trend direction filtering
• Volume deviation heatmap logic
• Time-restricted signal generation
• Dynamic trailing-stop exit system
• Non-repainting logic
• Fully optimized for Pine Script v6
📊 Usage Tip
Best results are achieved when combining this indicator with additional technical context such as support-resistance, higher-timeframe confirmation, or market structure analysis.

DTCC RECAPS Dates 2020-2025This is a simple indicator which marks the RECAPS dates of the DTCC, during the periods of 2020 to 2025.
These dates have marked clear settlement squeezes in the past, such as GME's squeeze of January 2021.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) has published the 2025 schedule for its Reconfirmation and Re-pricing Service (RECAPS) through the National Securities Clearing Corporation (NSCC). RECAPS is a monthly process for comparing and re-pricing eligible equities, municipals, corporate bonds, and Unit Investment Trusts (UITs) that have aged two business days or more .
At its core, the Reconfirmation and Re-pricing Service (RECAPS) is a risk management tool used by the National Securities Clearing Corporation (NSCC), a subsidiary of the DTCC. Its primary purpose is to reduce the risks associated with aged, unsettled trades in the U.S. securities market .
When a trade is executed, it is sent to the NSCC for clearing and settlement. However, for various reasons, some trades may not settle on their scheduled date and become "aged." These unsettled trades create risk for both the trading parties and the clearinghouse (NSCC) because the value of the underlying securities can change over time. If a trade fails to settle and one of the parties defaults, the NSCC may have to step in to complete the transaction at the current market price, which could result in a loss.
RECAPS mitigates this risk by systematically re-pricing these aged, open trading obligations to the current market value. This process ensures that the financial obligations of the clearing members accurately reflect the present value of the securities, preventing the accumulation of significant, unmanaged market risk .
Detailed Mechanics: How Does it Work?
The RECAPS process revolves around two key dates you asked about: the RECAPS Date and the Settlement Date .
The RECAPS Date: On this day, the NSCC runs a process to identify all eligible trades that have remained unsettled for two business days or more. These "aged" trades are then re-priced to the current market value. This re-pricing is not just a simple recalculation; it generates new settlement instructions. The original, unsettled trade is effectively cancelled and replaced with a new one at the current market price. This is done through the NSCC's Obligation Warehouse.
The Settlement Date: This is typically the business day following the RECAPS date. On this date, the financial settlement of the re-priced trades occurs. The difference in value between the original trade price and the new, re-priced value is settled between the two trading parties. This "mark-to-market" adjustment is processed through the members' settlement accounts at the DTCC.
Essentially, the process ensures that any gains or losses due to price changes in the underlying security are realized and settled periodically, rather than being deferred until the trade is ultimately settled or cancelled.
Are These Dates Used to Check Margin Requirements?
Yes, indirectly, this process is closely tied to managing margin and collateral requirements for NSCC members. Here’s how:
The NSCC requires its members to post collateral to a clearing fund, which acts as a mutualized guarantee against defaults. The amount of collateral each member must provide is calculated based on their potential risk exposure to the clearinghouse.
By re-pricing aged trades to current market values through RECAPS, the NSCC gets a more accurate picture of each member's outstanding obligations and, therefore, their current risk profile. If a member has a large number of unsettled trades that have moved against them in value, the re-pricing will crystallize that loss, which will be settled the next day.
This regular re-pricing and settlement of aged trades prevent the build-up of large, unrealized losses that could increase a member's risk profile beyond what their posted collateral can cover. While RECAPS is not the only mechanism for calculating margin (the NSCC has a complex system for daily margin calls based on overall portfolio risk), it is a crucial component for managing the specific risk posed by aged, unsettled transactions. It ensures that the value of these obligations is kept current, which in turn helps ensure that collateral levels remain adequate.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Future dates of 2025:
- November 12, 2025 (Wed)
- November 25, 2025 (Tue)
- December 11, 2025 (Thu)
- December 29, 2025 (Mon)
The dates for 2026 haven't been published yet at this time.
The RECAPS process is essentially the industry's way of retrying the settlement of all unresolved FTDs, netting outstanding obligations, and gradually forcing resolution (either delivery or buy-in). Monitoring RECAPS cycles is one way to track the lifecycle, accumulation, and eventual resolution (or persistence) of failures to deliver in the U.S. market.
The US Stock market has become a game of settlement dates and FTDs, therefore this can be useful to track.
DayFlow VWAP Relay Forex Majors StrategySummary in one paragraph
DayFlow VWAP Relay is a day-trading strategy for major FX pairs on intraday timeframes, demonstrated on EURUSD 15 minutes. It waits for alignment between a daily anchored VWAP regime check, residual percentiles, and lower-timeframe micro flow before suggesting trades. The originality is the fusion of daily VWAP residual percentiles with a live micro-flow score from 1 minute data to switch between fade and breakout behavior inside the same session. Add it to a clean chart and use the markers and alerts.
Scope and intent
• Markets: Major FX pairs such as EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDJPY, AUDUSD, USDCHF, USDCAD
• Timeframes: One minute to one hour
• Default demo in this publication: EURUSD on 15 minutes
• Purpose: Reduce false starts by acting only when context, location and micro flow agree
• Limits: This is a strategy. Orders are simulated on standard candles only
Originality and usefulness
• Core novelty: Residual percentiles to daily anchored VWAP decide “balanced versus expanding day”. A separate 1 minute micro-flow score confirms direction, so the same model fades extremes in balance and rides range breaks in expansion
• Failure modes addressed: Chop fakeouts and unconfirmed breakouts are filtered by the expansion gate and micro-flow threshold
• Testability: Every input is exposed. Bands, background regime color, and markers show why a suggestion appears
• Portable yardstick: Stops and targets are ATR multiples converted to ticks, which transfer across symbols
• Open source status: No reused third-party code that requires attribution
Method overview in plain language
The day is anchored with a VWAP that updates from the daily session start. Price minus VWAP is the residual. Percentiles of that residual measured over a rolling window define location extremes for the current day. A regime score compares residual volatility to price volatility. When expansion is low, the day is treated as balanced and the model fades residual extremes if 1 minute micro flow points back to VWAP. When expansion is high, the model trades breakouts outside the VWAP bands if slope and micro flow agree with the move.
Base measures
• Range basis: True Range smoothed by ATR for stops and targets, length 14
• Return basis: Not required for signals; residuals are absolute price distance to VWAP
Components
• Daily Anchor VWAP Bands. VWAP with standard-deviation bands. Slope sign is used for trend confirmation on breakouts
• Residual Percentiles. Rolling percentiles of close minus VWAP over Signal length. Identify location extremes inside the day
• Expansion Ratio. Standard deviation of residuals divided by standard deviation of price over Signal length. Classifies balanced versus expanding day
• Micro Flow. Net up minus down closes from 1 minute data across a short span, normalized to −1..+1. Confirms direction and avoids fades against pressure
• Session Window optional. Restricts trading to your configured hours to avoid thin periods
• Cooldown optional. Bars to wait after a position closes to prevent immediate re-entry
Fusion rule
Gating rather than weighting. First choose regime by Expansion Ratio versus the Expansion gate. Inside each regime all listed conditions must be true: location test plus micro-flow threshold plus session window plus cooldown. Breakouts also require VWAP slope alignment.
Signal rule
• Long suggestion on balanced day: residual at or below the lower percentile and micro flow positive above the gate while inside session and cooldown is satisfied
• Short suggestion on balanced day: residual at or above the upper percentile and micro flow negative below the gate while inside session and cooldown is satisfied
• Long suggestion on expanding day: close above the upper VWAP band, VWAP slope positive, micro flow positive, session and cooldown satisfied
• Short suggestion on expanding day: close below the lower VWAP band, VWAP slope negative, micro flow negative, session and cooldown satisfied
• Positions flip on opposite suggestions or exit by brackets
What you will see on the chart
• Markers on suggestion bars: L for long, S for short
• Exit occurs on reverse signal or when a bracket order is filled
• Reference lines: daily anchored VWAP with upper and lower bands
• Optional background: teal for balanced day, orange for expanding day
Inputs with guidance
Setup
• Signal length. Residual and regime window. Typical 40 to 100. Higher smooths, lower reacts faster
Micro Flow
• Micro TF. Lower timeframe used for micro flow, default 1 minute
• Micro span bars. Count of lower-TF bars. Typical 5 to 20
• Micro flow gate 0..1. Minimum absolute flow. Raising it demands stronger confirmation and reduces trade count
VWAP Bands
• VWAP stdev multiplier. Band width. Typical 0.8 to 1.6. Wider bands reduce breakout frequency and increase fade distance
• Expansion gate 0..3. Threshold to switch from fades to breakouts. Raising it favors fades, lowering it favors breakouts
Sessions
• Use session filter. Enable to trade only inside your window
• Trade window UTC. Default 07:00 to 17:00
Risk
• ATR length. Stop and target basis. Typical 10 to 21
• Stop ATR x. Initial stop distance in ATR multiples
• Target ATR x. Profit target distance in ATR multiples
• Cooldown bars after close. Wait bars before a new entry
• Side. Both, long only, or short only
View
• Show VWAP and bands
• Color bars by residual regime
Properties visible in this publication
• Initial capital 10000
• Base currency Default
• request.security uses lookahead off everywhere
• Strategy: Percent of equity with value 3. Pyramiding 0. Commission cash per order 0.0001 USD. Slippage 3 ticks. Process orders on close ON. Bar magnifier ON. Recalculate after order is filled OFF. Calc on every tick OFF. Using standard OHLC fills ON.
Realism and responsible publication
No performance claims. Past results never guarantee future outcomes. Fills and slippage vary by venue. Shapes can move while a bar forms and settle on close. Strategies must run on standard candles for signals and orders.
Honest limitations and failure modes
High impact news, session opens, and thin liquidity can invalidate assumptions. Very quiet days can reduce contrast between residuals and price volatility. Session windows use the chart exchange time. If both stop and target are touched within a single bar, TradingView’s standard OHLC price-movement model decides the outcome.
Expect different behavior on illiquid pairs or during holidays. The model is sensitive to session definitions and feed time. Past results never guarantee future outcomes.

[LTS] Marubozu Candle StrategyOVERVIEW
The Marubozu Candle Strategy identifies and trades wickless candles (Marubozu patterns) with dynamic take-profit and stop-loss levels based on market volatility. This indicator combines traditional Japanese candlestick pattern recognition with modern volatility-adjusted risk management and includes a comprehensive performance tracking dashboard.
A Marubozu candle is a powerful continuation pattern characterized by the complete absence of wicks on one side, indicating strong directional momentum. This strategy specifically detects:
- Bullish Marubozu: Close > Open AND Low = Open (no lower wick)
- Bearish Marubozu: Close < Open AND High = Open (no upper wick)
When price returns to test these levels, the indicator generates trading signals with predefined risk-reward parameters.
CORE METHODOLOGY
Detection Logic:
The script scans each bar for Marubozu formations using precise price comparisons. When a wickless candle appears, a horizontal line extends from the opening price, marking it as a potential support (bullish) or resistance (bearish) level. These levels remain active until price touches them or until the maximum line limit is reached.
EMA Filter (Optional):
An exponential moving average filter enhances signal quality by requiring proper trend alignment. For bullish signals, price must be above the EMA when touching the level. For bearish signals, price must be below the EMA. This filter reduces counter-trend trades and improves win rates in trending markets. Users can disable this filter for range-bound conditions.
Dynamic Risk Management:
The strategy employs ATR-based (Average True Range) position sizing rather than fixed point values. This approach adapts to market volatility automatically:
- In low volatility: Tighter stops and targets
- In high volatility: Wider stops and targets proportional to market movement
Default settings use a 2:1 reward-to-risk ratio (1x ATR for take-profit, 0.5x ATR for stop-loss), but users can adjust these multipliers to match their trading style.
HOW IT WORKS
Step 1 - Pattern Detection:
On each bar, the indicator evaluates whether the candle qualifies as a Marubozu by comparing the high, low, open, and close prices. When detected, the opening price becomes the key level.
Step 2 - Level Management:
Horizontal lines extend from each Marubozu's opening price. The indicator maintains two separate arrays: one for unbroken levels (actively extending) and one for broken levels (historical reference). Users can configure how many of each type to display, preventing chart clutter while maintaining relevant context.
Step 3 - Signal Generation:
When price returns to touch a Marubozu level, the indicator evaluates the EMA filter condition. If the filter passes (or is disabled), the script draws TP/SL boxes showing the expected profit and loss zones based on current ATR values.
Step 4 - Trade Tracking:
Each valid signal enters the tracking system, which monitors subsequent price action to determine outcomes. The script identifies whether the take-profit or stop-loss was hit first (discarding trades where both trigger on the same candle to avoid ambiguous results).
PERFORMANCE DASHBOARD
The integrated dashboard provides real-time strategy analytics to automatically convert results to dollar values for any instrument:
Tracked Metrics:
- Total Trades: Complete count of closed positions
- Wins/Losses: Individual counts with color coding
- Win Rate: Success percentage with dynamic color (green >= 50%, red < 50%)
- Total P&L: Cumulative profit/loss in dollars
- Avg Win: Mean dollar amount per winning trade
- Avg Loss: Mean dollar amount per losing trade
NOTE: The dollar values shown in the dashboard are for trading only a single share/contract/etc. You will need to manually multiply those numbers by the amount of shares/contracts you are trading to get a true value.
The dollar conversion works automatically across all markets:
- Futures contracts (ES, NQ, CL, etc.) use their contract specifications
- Forex pairs use standard lot calculations
- Stocks and crypto use their respective point values
This eliminates manual calculation and provides immediate performance feedback in meaningful currency terms.

HOW TO USE
1. Add the indicator to your chart
2. Adjust ATR multipliers based on your risk tolerance (higher values = more conservative)
3. Configure the EMA filter based on market conditions (enable for trending, disable for ranging)
4. Set line limits to match your visual preference and chart timeframe
5. Monitor the dashboard to track strategy performance in real-time
6. Use the TP/SL boxes as reference levels for manual trades or automation
Best Practices:
- Enable EMA filter in strongly trending markets
- Disable EMA filter if you want more trade signals but at lower quality
- Increase ATR multipliers in highly volatile markets
- Decrease ATR multipliers for tighter, more frequent trades
- Review avg win/loss ratio to ensure positive expectancy
