VolatilityLibrary "Volatility"
Functions for determining if volatility (true range) is within or exceeds normal.
The "True Range" (ta.tr) is used for measuring volatility.
Values are normalized by the volume adjusted weighted moving average (VAWMA) to be more like percent moves than price.
current(len) Returns the current price adjusted volatitlity ratio.
Parameters:
len : Number of bars to get a volume adjusted weighted average price.
normal(len, maxDeviation, level, gapDays, spec, res) Returns the normal upper range of volatility. Compensates for overnight gaps within a regular session.
Parameters:
len : Number of bars to measure volatility.
maxDeviation : The limit of volatility before considered an outlier.
level : The amount of standard deviation after cleaning outliers to be considered within normal.
gapDays : The number of days in the past to measure overnight gap volaility.
spec : session.regular (default), session.extended or other time spec.
res : The resolution (default = '1440').
isNormal(len, maxDeviation, level, gapDays, spec, res) Returns true if the volatility (true range) is within normal levels. Compensates for overnight gaps within a regular session.
Parameters:
len : Number of bars to measure volatility.
maxDeviation : The limit of volatility before considered an outlier.
level : The amount of standard deviation after cleaning outliers to be considered within normal.
gapDays : The number of days in the past to measure overnight gap volaility.
spec : session.regular (default), session.extended or other time spec.

XAUUSD Scalping Strategy - FVG + CISD📈 XAUUSD Scalping Strategy – FVG + CISD (3M/5M)
This strategy is designed for high-probability scalping on gold (XAU/USD) using a blend of Smart Money Concepts (SMC) and momentum-based price action. It works best on the 3-minute and 5-minute charts with bias from the 15M or 1H timeframe.
🔍 Core Concepts:
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs): Price inefficiencies created when strong displacement candles leave behind imbalanced zones. Used as retracement entry points.
CISD (Change in State of Delivery): Detects momentum shifts using strong displacement candles following a liquidity sweep or market structure break.
Liquidity Sweeps: Identifies stops being taken above recent highs or below recent lows, often leading to a reversal.
Market Structure Break (MSB): Confirms the change in directional bias after a liquidity sweep and displacement.
🧠 Strategy Logic:
Buy Conditions:
Bias is set to “Bullish”
Price sweeps a recent swing low (liquidity grab)
A strong bullish displacement candle confirms momentum (CISD)
A bullish Fair Value Gap forms
A bullish Market Structure Break occurs
Sell Conditions:
Bias is set to “Bearish”
Price sweeps a recent swing high
A strong bearish displacement candle confirms reversal
A bearish Fair Value Gap forms
A bearish Market Structure Break occurs
🎯 Entry & Risk Management:
Entry: Upon retracement into the Fair Value Gap (FVG)
Stop-Loss: Below swing low (for buys) or above swing high (for sells)
Take-Profit: 2x Reward-to-Risk ratio (adjustable)
Alerts: Configurable alerts notify you of qualified trade setups in real time
✅ Best Use Practices:
Use only during high-volume sessions (London/NY open)
Confirm direction using M15 or H1 bias
Avoid ranging markets or choppy sessions
Combine with liquidity zones or higher timeframe supply/demand for stronger confluence
ORB2The "ORB2" Indicator (Opening Range Breakout 2) is designed to identify the key price range at the beginning of the trading day—commonly referred to as the opening range. Its main purpose is to help traders detect potential breakout points from this range, which are often used as signals for trade entries.
📌 Purpose
The indicator visually marks the highest (high) and lowest (low) price within a defined time interval at the start of the session (e.g., from 09:15 to 09:20). These values form what’s known as the opening range, which is often considered a consolidation zone before the market chooses a direction.
⚙️ How It Works
Time Setup:
The user defines the time window during which the opening range is monitored (default: 09:15–09:20).
The high and low values are tracked within this interval.
Session Detection:
When the defined session begins (is_first), the indicator records the current high and low as the initial ORB levels.
Range Updating:
During the session, if a new candle has a higher high or a lower low than the previously recorded ORB range, the indicator updates the levels accordingly.
Visualization:
The ORB zone is displayed as a shaded area (a blue fill between a green upper line and a red lower line)—but only when applied to intra-day charts with a time interval less than or equal to the specified inputMax (e.g., 5 minutes).
🎯 Purpose and Benefits
Quick breakout detection – Helps traders easily identify when price breaks out of the initial consolidation.
Clear visualization – Highlights the high/low boundaries and range area, making breakout strategies more effective.
Customizability – The user can adjust the session time and the maximum allowed chart resolution for display.

LANZ Strategy 4.0🔷 LANZ Strategy 4.0 — Trend Impulse Detection with Risk Management
LANZ Strategy 4.0 is a multi-indicator trend strategy designed for short to medium-term trading on any asset or timeframe. It combines Parabolic SAR, Supertrend, ADX, and time zone highlighting to detect and confirm trend impulses, while managing entries with dynamic Stop Loss (SL) and Take Profit (TP) levels.
🧠 Core Components:
Parabolic SAR: Identifies short-term trend reversals.
Supertrend: Highlights trend continuation zones.
ADX Filter: Ensures trend strength by filtering entries when ADX exceeds a defined threshold.
Impulse Detection Logic: Detects and confirms movement impulses with a counter, only generating trade signals on confirmed sequences.
Risk Management: Calculates dynamic SL/TP with a default risk-reward ratio of 1:2, minimum SL of 4 pts, and maximum of 12 pts.
📊 Visual Features:
Trend lines from Supertrend and SAR.
Colored background zones for different sessions (Asia, NY).
Labels and lines for entry, SL, and TP.
Movement number labels help visualize impulse progression.
Alerts when a new impulse is confirmed.
⚙️ How It Works:
The strategy waits for a confirmed impulse (i.e., change in SAR + Supertrend + ADX filter).
Once a valid impulse is confirmed:
A trade signal (BUY/SELL) is shown.
SL and TP levels are calculated and drawn.
The script monitors live price to determine if SL or TP is hit.
Impulse counter advances to label movement progression.
🔔 Alerts:
You will receive an alert each time a new valid impulse is confirmed, indicating a potential trading opportunity.
📝 Notes:
Script is intended for discretionary or assisted trading, not automated execution.
Works best during active sessions with visible trend direction.
You can adjust ATR period, multiplier, SL padding, and impulse thresholds.

Developed by LANZ combines established technical indicators and original impulse-count logic.
EXODUS EXODUS by (DAFE) Trading Systems
EXODUS is a sophisticated trading algorithm built by Dskyz (DAFE) Trading Systems for competitive and competition purposes, designed to identify high-probability trades with robust risk management. this strategy leverages a multi-signal voting system, combining three core components—SPR, VWMO, and VEI—alongside ADX, choppiness filters, and ATR-based volatility gates to ensure trades are taken only in favorable market conditions. the algo uses a take-profit to stop-loss ratio, dynamic position sizing, and a strict voting mechanism requiring all signals to align before entering a trade.
EXODUS was not overfitted for any specific symbol. instead, it uses a generic tuned setting, making it versatile across various markets. while it can trade futures, it’s not currently set up for it but has the potential to do more with further development. visuals are intentionally minimal due to its competition focus, prioritizing performance over aesthetics. a more visually stunning version may be released in the future with enhanced graphics.
The Unique Core Components Developed for EXODUS
SPR (Session Price Recalibration)
SPR measures momentum during regular trading hours (RTH, 0930-1600, America/New_York) to catch session-specific trends.
spr_lookback = input.int(15, "SPR Lookback") this sets how many bars back SPR looks to calculate momentum (default 15 bars). it compares the current session’s price-volume score to the score 15 bars ago to gauge momentum strength.
how it works: a longer lookback smooths out the signal, focusing on bigger trends. a shorter one makes SPR more sensitive to recent moves.
how to adjust: on a 1-hour chart, 15 bars is 15 hours (about 2 trading days). if you’re on a shorter timeframe like 5 minutes, 15 bars is just 75 minutes, so you might want to increase it to 50 or 100 to capture more meaningful trends. if you’re trading a choppy stock, a shorter lookback (like 5) can help catch quick moves, but it might give more false signals.
spr_threshold = input.float (0.7, "SPR Threshold")
this is the cutoff for SPR to vote for a trade (default 0.7). if SPR’s normalized value is above 0.7, it votes for a long; below -0.7, it votes for a short.
how it works: SPR normalizes its momentum score by ATR, so this threshold ensures only strong moves count. a higher threshold means fewer trades but higher conviction.
how to adjust: if you’re getting too few trades, lower it to 0.5 to let more signals through. if you’re seeing too many false entries, raise it to 1.0 for stricter filtering. test on your chart to find a balance.
spr_atr_length = input.int(21, "SPR ATR Length") this sets the ATR period (default 21 bars) used to normalize SPR’s momentum score. ATR measures volatility, so this makes SPR’s signal relative to market conditions.
how it works: a longer ATR period (like 21) smooths out volatility, making SPR less jumpy. a shorter one makes it more reactive.
how to adjust: if you’re trading a volatile stock like TSLA, a longer period (30 or 50) can help avoid noise. for a calmer stock, try 10 to make SPR more responsive. match this to your timeframe—shorter timeframes might need a shorter ATR.
rth_session = input.session("0930-1600","SPR: RTH Sess.") rth_timezone = "America/New_York" this defines the session SPR uses (0930-1600, New York time). SPR only calculates momentum during these hours to focus on RTH activity.
how it works: it ignores pre-market or after-hours noise, ensuring SPR captures the main market action.
how to adjust: if you trade a different session (like London hours, 0300-1200 EST), change the session to match. you can also adjust the timezone if you’re in a different region, like "Europe/London". just make sure your chart’s timezone aligns with this setting.
VWMO (Volume-Weighted Momentum Oscillator)
VWMO measures momentum weighted by volume to spot sustained, high-conviction moves.
vwmo_momlen = input.int(21, "VWMO Momentum Length") this sets how many bars back VWMO looks to calculate price momentum (default 21 bars). it takes the price change (close minus close 21 bars ago).
how it works: a longer period captures bigger trends, while a shorter one reacts to recent swings.
how to adjust: on a daily chart, 21 bars is about a month—good for trend trading. on a 5-minute chart, it’s just 105 minutes, so you might bump it to 50 or 100 for more meaningful moves. if you want faster signals, drop it to 10, but expect more noise.
vwmo_volback = input.int(30, "VWMO Volume Lookback") this sets the period for calculating average volume (default 30 bars). VWMO weights momentum by volume divided by this average.
how it works: it compares current volume to the average to see if a move has strong participation. a longer lookback smooths the average, while a shorter one makes it more sensitive.
how to adjust: for stocks with spiky volume (like NVDA on earnings), a longer lookback (50 or 100) avoids overreacting to one-off spikes. for steady volume stocks, try 20. match this to your timeframe—shorter timeframes might need a shorter lookback.
vwmo_smooth = input.int(9, "VWMO Smoothing")
this sets the SMA period to smooth VWMO’s raw momentum (default 9 bars).
how it works: smoothing reduces noise in the signal, making VWMO more reliable for voting. a longer smoothing period cuts more noise but adds lag.
how to adjust: if VWMO is too jumpy (lots of false votes), increase to 15. if it’s too slow and missing trades, drop to 5. test on your chart to see what keeps the signal clean but responsive.
vwmo_threshold = input.float(10, "VWMO Threshold") this is the cutoff for VWMO to vote for a trade (default 10). above 10, it votes for a long; below -10, a short.
how it works: it ensures only strong momentum signals count. a higher threshold means fewer but stronger trades.
how to adjust: if you want more trades, lower it to 5. if you’re getting too many weak signals, raise it to 15. this depends on your market—volatile stocks might need a higher threshold to filter noise.
VEI (Velocity Efficiency Index)
VEI measures market efficiency and velocity to filter out choppy moves and focus on strong trends.
vei_eflen = input.int(14, "VEI Efficiency Smoothing") this sets the EMA period for smoothing VEI’s efficiency calc (bar range / volume, default 14 bars).
how it works: efficiency is how much price moves per unit of volume. smoothing it with an EMA reduces noise, focusing on consistent efficiency. a longer period smooths more but adds lag.
how to adjust: for choppy markets, increase to 20 to filter out noise. for faster markets, drop to 10 for quicker signals. this should match your timeframe—shorter timeframes might need a shorter period.
vei_momlen = input.int(8, "VEI Momentum Length") this sets how many bars back VEI looks to calculate momentum in efficiency (default 8 bars).
how it works: it measures the change in smoothed efficiency over 8 bars, then adjusts for inertia (volume-to-range). a longer period captures bigger shifts, while a shorter one reacts faster.
how to adjust: if VEI is missing quick reversals, drop to 5. if it’s too noisy, raise to 12. test on your chart to see what catches the right moves without too many false signals.
vei_threshold = input.float(4.5, "VEI Threshold") this is the cutoff for VEI to vote for a trade (default 4.5). above 4.5, it votes for a long; below -4.5, a short.
how it works: it ensures only strong, efficient moves count. a higher threshold means fewer trades but higher quality.
how to adjust: if you’re not getting enough trades, lower to 3. if you’re seeing too many false entries, raise to 6. this depends on your market—fast stocks like NQ1 might need a lower threshold.
Features
Multi-Signal Voting: requires all three signals (SPR, VWMO, VEI) to align for a trade, ensuring high-probability setups.
Risk Management: uses ATR-based stops (2.1x) and take-profits (4.1x), with dynamic position sizing based on a risk percentage (default 0.4%).
Market Filters: ADX (default 27) ensures trending conditions, choppiness index (default 54.5) avoids sideways markets, and ATR expansion (default 1.12) confirms volatility.
Dashboard: provides real-time stats like SPR, VWMO, VEI values, net P/L, win rate, and streak, with a clean, functional design.
Visuals
EXODUS prioritizes performance over visuals, as it was built for competitive and competition purposes. entry/exit signals are marked with simple labels and shapes, and a basic heatmap highlights market regimes. a more visually stunning update may be released later, with enhanced graphics and overlays.
Usage
EXODUS is designed for stocks and ETFs but can be adapted for futures with adjustments. it performs best in trending markets with sufficient volatility, as confirmed by its generic tuning across symbols like TSLA, AMD, NVDA, and NQ1. adjust inputs like SPR threshold, VWMO smoothing, or VEI momentum length to suit specific assets or timeframes.
Setting I used: (Again, these are a generic setting, each security needs to be fine tuned)
SPR LB = 19 SPR TH = 0.5 SPR ATR L= 21 SPR RTH Sess: 9:30 – 16:00
VWMO L = 21 VWMO LB = 18 VWMO S = 6 VWMO T = 8
VEI ES = 14 VEI ML = 21 VEI T = 4
R % = 0.4
ATR L = 21 ATR M (S) =1.1 TP Multi = 2.1 ATR min mult = 0.8 ATR Expansion = 1.02

Daily separator, Open, HTF candlesScript Overview
This TradingView script is designed to enhance market structure analysis by providing a clear visual representation of key trading elements. It integrates multiple technical features that help traders assess price action, trend direction, and potential trade setups efficiently.
Main Features & Functionality
1. Daily Separator
• A vertical line is plotted to clearly mark the start of each trading day.
• Helps traders visually differentiate daily sessions, making it easier to analyze price action over different periods.
2. Exponential Moving Average (EMA) with EMA Continuity Table
• The script calculates an EMA of choice and displays whether the price is above or below it across five customizable timeframes.
• Use Case:
• Identifies if the price is in a retracement or a trend continuation phase.
• Helps determine trend strength—if price is consistently above the EMA across multiple timeframes, the trend is bullish; if below, it’s bearish.
• Aids in making trading decisions such as whether to go long or short.
3. Higher Timeframe (HTF) Candles
• Plots candles from a higher timeframe (HTF) onto the current chart.
• Use Case:
• Provides a macro view of price action while trading on a lower timeframe.
• Helps traders see if the price is interacting with HTF support/resistance levels.
• Useful for confirming entries/exits based on the HTF trend.
4. Opening Line
• Draws a daily opening price level, allowing traders to track price movement relative to the open.
• Use Case:
• Useful for intraday traders who analyze whether price is holding above or below the daily open.
• Helps in identifying key price behaviors, such as breakouts, fakeouts, or potential reversals.
Additional Considerations
• Customization: The script allows traders to adjust key parameters such as the EMA length, timeframes for EMA continuity, and HTF candle settings.
• Market Structure & Decision Making: By combining EMAs, HTF analysis, and the daily open, the script assists traders in determining whether price action aligns with their trade thesis.
• Potential Enhancements:
• Adding alerts for EMA crossovers or when price crosses the daily open.
• Incorporating color coding for the EMA table to improve readability.
Use Case Summary
This script is particularly beneficial for trend-following traders, intraday traders, and swing traders who want to:
1. Confirm market direction with EMA-based trend analysis.
2. Monitor HTF price action while trading on lower timeframes.
3. Track intraday price movement relative to the daily open.
4. Differentiate trading sessions for better structure analysis.
Gap Down Reversal Strategy█ STRATEGY OVERVIEW
The "Gap Down Reversal Strategy" capitalizes on price recovery patterns following bearish gap-down openings. This mean-reversion approach enters long positions on confirmed intraday recoveries and exits when prices breach previous session highs. This strategy is NOT optimized.
█ What is a Gap Down Reversal?
A gap down reversal occurs when:
An instrument opens significantly below its prior session's low (price gap)
Selling pressure exhausts itself during the session
Buyers regain control, pushing price back above the opening level
Creates a candlestick with:
• Open < Prior Session Low (true gap)
• Close > Open (bullish reversal candle)
█ SIGNAL GENERATION
1. LONG ENTRY CONDITION
Previous candle closes BELOW its opening price (bearish candle)
Current session opens BELOW prior candle's low (gap down)
Current candle closes ABOVE its opening price (bullish reversal)
Executes market order at session close
2. EXIT CONDITION
A Sell Signal is generated when the current closing price exceeds the highest high of the previous seven bars (`close > _highest `). This indicates that the price has shown strength, potentially confirming the reversal and prompting the strategy to exit the position.
█ PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW
Ideal Market: High volatility instruments with frequent gaps
Key Risk: False reversals in sustained downtrends
Optimization Tip: Test varying gap thresholds (1-3% ranges)
Volume EquilibriumThe intent behind this indicator is to provide comprehensive information relating to volume compared to multiple timeframes. This indicator allows one to see what the market 'theoretically' sees as 'fair-value' whilst also allowing one to gauge where the price of a stock is headed.
Volume Equilibrium
The main indicator finds the difference between buying volume and selling volume, under the basic presumption that more buying volume indicates greater bullish sentiment and vice versa.
Buying Volume = volume when close price is higher than open price.
Selling Volume = volume when close price is lower than open price.
Volume Balance = Cumulative Buying Volume − Cumulative Selling Volume
Volume Balance is then expressed as a percentage by dividing by total volume
This indicator is composed of three different lengths of the same indicator. Short, Mid, and Long term representations of Volume Equilibrium. The difference between the mid and long term are highlighted so to make it easy to see where volume is going relative to a longer time frame.
HOW TO USE:
At 0 ---> Equilibrium ---> Equal Buying/Selling Volume
Above 0 ---> More buying Volume
Below 0 ---> More selling Volume
Using theory, it is assumed that the price is at a 'fair-value' when the buying/selling volume is at 0. This is of course relative to the respective timeframe of your choosing. More weight given to larger timeframes.
Volume Histogram
It is a basic volume chart that represents the total volume though has highlighted bars so to indicate buying(green) and selling(red) volume. This allows one to see what the indicator is based off of.
Open-Close Oscillator(not needed)
Calculates the average open-close for a selected timeframe and then provides the current closing price relative to that average open-close. Very simply put, values below 0 indicate bearish and values above 0 generally indicate bullishness. This indicator is for a quick reference of price action relative to volume.
Another way to use this indicator, though unique, is to analyze the separate open-close lines themselves. Using the open-close bands, bullishness is defined as increasing closing prices and bearish as decreasing closing prices. So, in regard to this indicator, bear sessions can be indicated by the opening line being below the closing line and bull sessions as the opening line being above. Use the 'flip' of these lines to your advantage, they are very helpful at capturing long continuous sentiment.
This indicator is composed of great information though I still think it best to use many different indicators to help you with your trades.
NOTE: Be aware of what we are trying to analyze, Volume. This means that one should also look out for divergences to capture early indications of reversals. This indicator can be leveraged greatly.

Gap Detector [MS]This indicator helps traders identify and visualize price gaps in market data. When price movements create gaps between trading sessions or periods, the script highlights these areas with colored clouds and markers.
Key Features:
Automatically detects price gaps based on a customizable gap percentage threshold
Visualizes gaps using color-coded clouds (green when price moves upward, red for downward price action)
Places small triangle markers at gap locations for easy identification of gaps, and if many happen close together
Shows gray clouds when price is within the last gap
Use it For:
Watching for gap-fills
Gap support/resistance levels
Trading gap breakouts
...and more
How it Works:
The script compares each bar's opening price with the previous bar's closing price. A gap is identified when the opening price is significantly different from the previous close (beyond the user-defined gap percentage). The gap area is then marked with a colored cloud:
Green clouds: Show gaps where price jumped higher
Red clouds: Show gaps where price dropped lower
Gray clouds: Indicate price action within the gap
Settings:
Gap %: Controls the minimum price difference required to identify a gap (default 0.01 or 1%)
This indicator can help traders:
Identify potential support/resistance levels at gap areas
Monitor gap-filling scenarios
Spot significant price movements between trading sessions
The script is designed to work across all timeframes and markets.
