Donchian Breakout Strategy📈 Donchian Breakout Strategy (Inspired by Way of the Turtle)
This strategy is a modern adaptation of the legendary Turtle Trading system as taught in Way of the Turtle by Curtis Faith — re-engineered for the crypto market’s volatility, 24/7 nature, and frequent fakeouts.
⸻
🐢 Original Inspiration
The original Turtle system, created by Richard Dennis and William Eckhardt, used:
• Breakouts of Donchian Channels (20-day for entry, 10-day for exit)
• Volatility-based position sizing using ATR (N)
• Simple rules, big trend exposure, and pyramiding to grow winners
It was built for futures and commodities, trading daily bars, assuming stable trading hours and regulated markets.
⸻
🚀 What’s Different in This Strategy?
✅ Optimized for Crypto
• Adapts to constant volatility and price manipulation common in crypto
• Adds commission modeling for realistic results (0.045% default)
✅ Improved Entry Filtering
• Uses EMA filter to align with trend direction
• Adds RSI momentum check to avoid early or weak breakouts
• Optional volatility and volume filters to reduce false signals
✅ Smarter Exits
• ATR-based volatility stop loss, not just Donchian reversal
• Avoids pyramiding to reduce risk from sudden reversals
✅ Backtest-Friendly
• Default backtest window starts from 2025-01-01
• Fully configurable: long/short toggle, filter control, stop loss multiplier
⸻
🧪 Use Case
• Best on trending coins with strong directional moves
• Avoids chop via filters, preserving capital
• Can be tuned for aggressive or conservative setups with just a few tweaks
Adaptable Relative Momentum Index [ParadoxAlgo]The Adaptable Relative Momentum Index (RMI) by ParadoxAlgo is an advanced momentum-based indicator that builds upon the well-known RSI (Relative Strength Index) concept by introducing a customizable momentum length. This indicator measures price momentum over a specified number of periods and applies a Rolling Moving Average (RMA) to both the positive and negative price changes. The result is a versatile tool that can help traders gauge the strength of a trend, pinpoint overbought/oversold levels, and potentially identify breakout opportunities.
⸻
Smart Configuration Feature
What sets this version of the RMI apart is ParadoxAlgo’s exclusive “Smart Configuration” functionality. Instead of manually adjusting parameters, traders can simply select their Asset Class (e.g., Stocks, Forex, Futures/Indices, Crypto, Commodities) and Trading Style (e.g., Scalping, Day Trading, Swing Trading, Short-Term Investing, Long-Term Investing). Based on these selections, the indicator automatically optimizes its core parameters:
• Length – The period over which the price changes are smoothed.
• Momentum Length – The number of bars used to calculate the price change.
By automating this process, users save time on tedious trial-and-error adjustments, ensuring that the RMI’s settings are tailored to the characteristics of specific markets and personal trading horizons.
⸻
Key Features & Benefits
1. Momentum-Based Insights
• Uses RMA to smooth price movements, helping identify shifts in market momentum more clearly than a basic RSI.
• Enhanced adaptability for a wide range of asset classes and time horizons.
2. Simple Yet Powerful Configuration
• Smart Configuration automatically sets optimal parameter values for each combination of asset class and trading style.
• Eliminates guesswork and manual recalibration when switching between markets or timeframes.
3. Overbought & Oversold Visualization
• Integrated highlight zones mark potential overbought and oversold extremes (default at 80 and 20).
• Optional breakout highlighting draws attention to times when the indicator crosses these key thresholds, helping spot possible entry or exit signals.
4. Intuitive Design & Ease of Use
• Clean plotting and color-coded signal lines make it easy to interpret bullish or bearish shifts in momentum.
• Straightforward dropdown menus keep the interface user-friendly, even for novice traders.
⸻
Practical Applications

🤔 "What's with the indicator mashup/How do these components work together? 🤔
The 7-Channel Trend Meter is designed as an original and useful tool that integrates multiple indicators to enhance trading decisions, rather than merely combining existing tools without logical coherence. This strategic mashup creates a comprehensive analysis framework that offers deeper insights into market conditions by capitalizing on each component's unique strengths. The careful integration of seven indicators creates a unified system that eliminates conflicting signals and enhances the decision-making process. Rather than simply merging indicators for the sake of it, the 7-Channel Trend Meter is designed to streamline trading strategies, making it a practical tool for traders across various markets. By leveraging the combined strengths of these indicators, traders can act with greater confidence, backed by comprehensive data rather than fragmented insights. Here’s how they synergistically work together:
Average Directional Index (ADX) and Directional Movement Index (DMI): The reason for this mashup is because ADX indicates the strength of the prevailing trend, while the DMI pinpoints its direction. Together, they equip traders with a dual framework that not only identifies whether to engage with a trend but also quantifies its strength, allowing for more decisive trading strategies.
EMA Cross: The reason for this addition to the mashup is because this tool signals potential trend reversals by identifying moving average crossovers. When combined with the ADX and DMI, traders can better differentiate between genuine trend shifts and market noise, leading to more accurate entries.
Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Stochastic Oscillator: The reason for this mashup is because by using both momentum indicators, traders gain a multifaceted view of market dynamics. The RSI assesses overbought or oversold conditions, while the Stochastic Oscillator confirms momentum shifts. When both agree with the trend signals from the DMI, it enhances the reliability of reversal or continuation strategies.
Supertrend: The reason for this addition to the mashup is because as a trailing stop based on market volatility, the Supertrend indicator works hand-in-hand with the ADX’s strength assessment, allowing traders to ride strong trends while managing risk. This cohesion prevents premature exits during minor pullbacks.
Volume Delta: The reason for this addition to the mashup is because integrating volume analysis helps validate signals from the price action indicators. Significant volume behind a price movement reinforces the likelihood of its continuation, ensuring that traders can act on well-supported signals.
🔍 How it does what it says it does 🔍
While the exact calculations remain proprietary, the following outlines how the components synergistically work to aid traders in making informed decisions:
Market Strength Assessment: Average Directional Index (ADX)
This component is used as confirmation by measuring the strength of the market trend on a scale from 0 to 100. A reading above 20 generally indicates a strong trend, while readings below 20 suggest sideways movement. The Trend Meter flags strong trends, effectively helping traders identify optimal conditions for entering positions.
Trend Direction Confirmation: Directional Movement Index (DMI)
This component is used as confirmation by distinguishing between bullish and bearish trends by evaluating price movements. This combination allows traders to confirm not only if a trend exists but also its direction, informing whether to buy or sell.
Trend Reversal Detection: Exponential Moving Average (EMA) Cross
This component is used as confirmation by calculating two EMAs (one shorter and one longer) to identify potential reversal points. When the shorter EMA crosses above the longer EMA, it signals a bullish reversal, and vice versa for bearish reversals. This helps traders pinpoint optimal entry or exit points.
Momentum Analysis: Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Stochastic Oscillator
These components are used as confirmation by providing insights into momentum. The RSI assesses the speed and change of price movements, indicating overbought or oversold conditions. The Stochastic Oscillator compares a particular closing price to a range of prices over a specified period. This helps identify whether momentum is slowing or speeding up, offering a clear view of potential reversal points. When both the RSI and Stochastic Oscillator converge on signals, it increases the reliability of those signals in trading decisions.
Volatility-Based Trend Following: Supertrend
This component is used as confirmation by utilizing Average True Range (ATR) calculations to help traders stay in momentum-driven trades by providing dynamic support and resistance levels that adapt to volatility. This enables better risk management while allowing traders to capture stronger trends.
Volume Confirmation: Volume Delta
This component is used as confirmation by analyzing buying and selling pressure by measuring the difference between buy and sell volumes, offering critical insights into market sentiment. Significant volume behind a price movement increases confidence in the sustainability of that move.
🧠 Pro Tip:
When all 7 bars line up in green or red, it’s time to take action: load up for a confirmed move or sit back and wait for market confirmation. Let the Trend Meter guide your strategy with precision.
Conclusion:
Integrate the 7-Channel Trend Meter as useful confirmation for your TradingView strategy and stop trading like the average retail trader. This tool eliminates the noise and helps you stay focused on high-confidence trades.

Normalized DEMA Oscillator SD| QuantEdgeB📊 Introducing Normalized DEMA Oscillator SD (NDOSD) by QuantEdgeB
🛠️ Overview
Normalized DEMA Oscillator SD (NDOSD) is a powerful trend and momentum indicator that blends DEMA-based smoothing with a standard deviation-based normalization engine. The result is an oscillator that adapts to volatility, filters noise, and highlights both trend continuations and reversal zones with exceptional clarity.
It normalizes price momentum within an adaptive SD envelope, allowing comparisons across assets and market conditions. Whether you're a trend trader or mean-reverter, NDOSD provides the insight needed for smarter decision-making.
✨ Key Features
🔹 DEMA-Powered Momentum Core
Utilizes a Double EMA (DEMA) for smoother trend detection with reduced lag.
🔹 Normalized SD Bands
Price momentum is standardized using a dynamic 2× standard deviation range—enabling consistent interpretation across assets and timeframes.
🔹 Overbought/Oversold Detection
Includes clear OB/OS zones with shaded thresholds to identify potential reversals or trend exhaustion areas.
🔹 Visual Trend Feedback
Color-coded oscillator zones, candle coloring, and optional signal labels help traders immediately see trend direction and strength.
📐 How It Works
1️⃣ DEMA Calculation
The core of NDOSD is a smoothed price line using a Double EMA, designed to reduce false signals in choppy markets.
2️⃣ Normalization with SD
The DEMA is normalized within a volatility range using a 2x SD calculation, producing a bounded oscillator from 0–100. This transforms the raw signal into a structured format, allowing for OB/OS detection and trend entry clarity.
3️⃣ Signal Generation
• ✅ Long Signal → Oscillator crosses above the long threshold (default: 55) and price holds above the lower SD boundary.
• ❌ Short Signal → Oscillator drops below short threshold (default: 45), often within upper SD boundary context.
4️⃣ OB/OS Thresholds
• Overbought Zone: Above 100 → Caution / Consider profit-taking.
• Oversold Zone: Below 0 → Watch for accumulation setups.
⚙️ Custom Settings
• Calculation Source: Default = close
• DEMA Period: Default = 30
• Base SMA Period: Default = 20
• Long Threshold: Default = 55
• Short Threshold: Default = 45
• Color Mode: Choose from Strategy, Solar, Warm, Cool, Classic, or Magic
• Signal Labels Toggle: Show/hide Long/Short markers on chart
👥 Ideal For
✅ Trend Followers – Identify breakout continuation zones using oscillator thrust and SD structure
✅ Swing Traders – Catch mid-trend entries or mean reversion setups at OB/OS extremes

Median RSI SD| QuantEdgeB📈 Introducing Median RSI SD by QuantEdgeB
🛠️ Overview
Median RSI SD is a hybrid momentum tool that fuses two powerful techniques: Median Price Filtering and RSI-based Momentum. The result? A cleaner, more responsive oscillator designed to reduce noise and increase clarity in trend detection and potential reversals.
By applying the RSI not to raw price but to the percentile-based median, the indicator adapts better to real structural shifts in the market while filtering out temporary price spikes.
✨ Key Features
🔹 Smoothed RSI Momentum
Utilizes a percentile-based median as input to RSI, reducing volatility and enhancing signal reliability.
🔹 Volatility-Weighted SD Zones
Automatically detects overbought/oversold extremes using ±1 standard deviation bands on the median, adapting to current market volatility.
🔹 Trend Signal Overlay
A directional trend signal (Long / Short / Neutral) is derived from the RSI crossing custom thresholds, combined with position relative to SD bands.
🔹 Visual Labeling System
Optional in-chart labels for Long / Short signals and fully color-customizable theme modes.
📊 How It Works
1️⃣ Median RSI Calculation
Instead of using the close price directly, the script first computes a smoothed median via percentile ranking. RSI is then applied to this filtered stream, improving reactivity without overfitting to short-term noise.
2️⃣ Standard Deviation Filtering
Upper and lower SD bands are calculated around the median to identify extreme conditions. A position near the upper SD while RSI is below the short threshold triggers bearish bias. The reverse applies for longs.
3️⃣ Signal Generation
• ✅ Long Signal → RSI crosses above the Long Threshold (default: 65) and price holds above lower SD.
• ❌ Short Signal → RSI crosses below the Short Threshold (default: 45), typically within upper SD range.
4️⃣ Contextual Highlighting
Zone fills on the chart and RSI subgraph indicate Overbought (>75) and Oversold (<25) conditions for added clarity.
⚙️ Custom Settings
• RSI Length → Default: 21
• Median Length → Default: 10
• Long Threshold → Default: 65
• Short Threshold → Default: 45
• Color Mode → Choose from Strategy, Solar, Warm, Cool, Classic, Magic
• Signal Labels Toggle → Optional in-chart long/short labels
👥 Who Should Use It?
✅ Swing & Momentum Traders → Filter entries based on confirmed directional RSI setups.
✅ Range-Bound Traders → Use SD thresholds to spot fakeouts or exhaustion zones.
✅ Intraday Strategists → Enhanced signal clarity makes it usable even on lower timeframes.
✅ System Builders → Combine this signal with price action or confluence layers for smarter rules.
📌 Conclusion
Median RSI SD by QuantEdgeB is more than just a modified oscillator—it's a robust momentum confirmation framework designed for modern volatility. By replacing noisy price feeds with a statistically stable input and layering RSI + SD logic, this tool provides high-clarity signals without sacrificing responsiveness.
🔹 Key Takeaways:
1️⃣ Median-filtered RSI eliminates noise without lag
2️⃣ Standard deviation bands identify exhaustion zones
3️⃣ Reliable for both trend continuation and mean-reversion strategies
📌 Disclaimer: Past performance is not indicative of future results. No trading strategy can guarantee success in financial markets.
📌 Strategic Advice: Always backtest, optimize, and align parameters with your trading objectives and risk tolerance before live trading.

Relative Directional Index (RDI)🔍 Overview
The Relative Directional Index (RDI) is a hybrid tool that fuses the Average Directional and the Relative Strength Indices (ADX and RSI) into a single, highly visual interface. While the former captures trend strength, the latter reveals momentum shifts and potential exhaustion. Together, they can confirm trend structure, anticipate reversals, and sharpen the timing entries and exits.
📌 Why Combine ADX with RSI?
Most indicators focus on either trend-following (like ADX) or momentum detection (like RSI)—but rarely both. Each comes with trade-offs:
- ADX alone confirms trend strength but ignores momentum.
- RSI alone signals overbought/oversold, but lacks trend context.
The RDI resolves this by integrating both, offering:
- Smarter filters for trend entries
- Early warnings of momentum breakdowns
- More confident signal validation
🧠 Design Note: Fibonacci Harmony
All default values—5, 13, 21—are Fibonacci numbers. This is intentional, as these values reflect the natural rhythm of market cycles, and promote harmonic calibration between price action and indicator logic.
🔥 Key Features
✅ ADX Histogram
- Green bars = trend gaining strength
- Red bars = trend weakening
- Adjustable transparency for visual tuning
✅ ADX Line (Orange)
- Measures trend strength over time
- Rising = accelerating trend
- Falling = trend may be fading
✅ RSI Line (Lemon Yellow)
- Captures momentum surges and slowdowns
- Above 50 = bullish control
- Below 50 = bearish pressure
✅ Trend Strength Squares
- Bright green = strong uptrend
- Bright red = strong downtrend
- Faded colors = range-bound or indecisive
✅ ADX/RSI Crossover Markers
- Yellow square = RSI crosses above ADX → momentum building
- Orange square = ADX crosses above RSI → trend still dominant
✅ Customizable Reference Lines
- Yellow (50) = strong trend threshold
- Red (30) = weak trend zone
- Green (70) = overextended, potential exhaustion
_______________________________________________________
🎯 How to Trade with the RDI
The RDI helps traders identify momentum-supported trends, catch early reversals, and avoid false signals during consolidation.
✅ Trend Confirmation Entries
🔼 Bullish → Enter long on pullbacks or resistance breakouts
- ADX rising above 30
- RSI above 50
- Green trend square visible
🔽 Bearish → Enter short on breakdowns or failed retests
- ADX rising
- RSI below 50
- Red trend square visible
🧯 Exit if RSI crosses back against trend direction or ADX flattens
🚨 Reversal Setups Using Divergence
📈 Bullish Divergence → Long entry after confirmation (e.g. engulfing bar, volume spike)
- Price prints lower low
- RSI prints higher low
- Green triangle
📉 Bearish Divergence → Short entry on breakdown
- Price prints higher high
- RSI prints lower high
- Red triangle
Tip: Stronger if ADX is declining (fading trend strength)
🔂 Breakout Detection via Cross Markers
- Yellow square = RSI > ADX → breakout brewing
- Orange square = ADX > RSI → trend continuation likely
⏸️ Avoid Choppy Markets
- RSI between 45–55
- Faded trend squares
- Flat ADX below 20–30
🧠 Pro Tips
- Combine RDI with VWAPs, moving averages and/or pitchforks
- Watch for alignment between trend and momentum
- Use divergence markers as confirmation, not stand-alone triggers
_______________________________________________________
⚠️ Hidden Divergence (Optional)
The RDI includes optional hidden divergence detection. These signals suggest trend continuation but are off by default. Use with discretion—best in established trends, not sideways markets.
🙈 Hidden Bullish
- Price prints higher low
- RSI prints lower low
🙈 Hidden Bearish
- Price prints lower high
- RSI prints higher high

I’m excited to introduce a powerful trend filtering method that I’ve been working on—Magnetic Trend Filter (MTF). If you’ve ever struggled with noisy price action, false signals, or unclear trends, this indicator might be just what you need!
🔍 What is the Magnetic Trend Filter?
MTF is designed to smooth out market noise and help traders focus on clean, high-probability trend signals. It works by applying an intelligent filtering mechanism to Close price data, reducing whipsaws while maintaining trend sensitivity.
Instead of relying solely on conventional moving averages or lagging indicators, MTF adapts dynamically to market conditions, providing a more refined view of trend direction.
🎯 How it Works
• MTF processes filtered Close price data, making trends more visible.
• It reduces unnecessary price fluctuations, helping you stay in trades longer.
• The filtering mechanism ensures better accuracy in defining trend direction.
📈 How to Use It
• Buy Signals: When the trend filter turns bullish (uptrend confirmation).
• Sell Signals: When the trend filter turns bearish (downtrend confirmation).
• Combine with Other Indicators: MTF works great alongside VWAP, Bollinger Bands, and Ichimoku Cloud for added confluence.
Personally, I use it with my price range filter to catch good exits. Have added that to the Magnetic trend filter and will also publish advanced version independently.
🛠 Customization & Optimization
I’ve optimized the script to reduce computation load, making it efficient and responsive even on lower timeframes. You can tweak smoothing parameters to adjust the sensitivity of the filter based on your trading style.
📌 Final Thoughts
Magnetic Trend Filter is an efficient way to identify trends while avoiding unnecessary noise in price movements. Whether you’re a day trader or swing trader, this tool can help improve decision-making and increase trading accuracy.
💡 Try it out and let me know your thoughts! I’d love to hear feedback and explore potential improvements together. 🚀

CVD Divergence Insights📘 CVD Divergence Insights – by Colicoid
Pine Script v6 | Volume Delta Divergence Oscillator with Spike Detection
⸻
🔍 Overview
CVD Divergence Insights is a volume-aware oscillator and divergence spike detector that helps you spot smart money activity, absorption, failed pressure, and hidden strength or weakness — even when price action alone gives little away.
It works by comparing normalized Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) against normalized price movement, and optionally applying a volume-weighting layer to highlight when aggressive participation is truly behind the divergence. The result is a dynamic visual tool that identifies tension in the market, and helps you trade based on how that tension resolves.
⸻
🧠 Core Concept
• When price moves one way and CVD moves another, it reflects imbalance between aggression and result.
• Divergence is not a trigger — it’s a build-up of pressure.
• The real edge lies in the resolution of that pressure.
• Optional volume-weighting helps you ignore noise and focus on high-conviction moves only.
⸻
⚙️ How It Works
1. CVD Calculation
CVD is generated using lower-timeframe delta volume (buy vs. sell pressure), accumulated per bar.
2. Oscillator
A normalized divergence between the smoothed CVD and smoothed price.
3. Volume Weighting (optional)
Emphasizes divergences occurring on higher-than-normal volume, deprioritizes low-volume noise.
4. Signal Line (optional)
A short EMA of the oscillator to help track momentum shifts (hidden by default).
5. Divergence Spikes
Statistical spike detection using standard deviation — green/red dots highlight unusually large divergence activity.
⸻
🎛️ Inputs
Anchor Period
Higher timeframe where the CVD is accumulated and processed.
Lower Timeframe
Optional override for granularity of buy/sell volume data.
SMA Length
Used for smoothing both price and CVD before divergence is calculated.
Volume Weighted?
Enables adaptive weighting based on relative volume size.
Volume Normalization Length
Lookback period used to define what is “normal” volume.
Divergence Spike Threshold
StdDev-based threshold to detect abnormally large divergences.
Signal Line Length
Controls the EMA smoothing of the optional signal line (hidden by default).
⸻
📈 Trade Setup Example: Hidden Bullish Divergence
1. Price forms a higher low, but CVD forms a lower low — hidden bullish divergence.
2. This shows aggressive sellers are trying, but price is resilient — likely absorption.
3. You wait for a "convergent signal bar":
• A bullish candle with strong structure or body
• Confirmed by CVD starting to turn upward
4. That’s your trigger bar — the tension resolves upward.
⸻
🤝 Recommended Pairings
For best results, combine CVD Divergence Insights with the companion script:
🔗 Cumulative Volume Delta Line (also by Colicoid)
This lets you:
• See the raw CVD line and its SMA visually
• Spot standard and hidden divergences in price/CVD directly
• Use the Insights indicator to evaluate divergence quality and flag aggressive bull/bear behavior
• Use the same SMA length on both indicators for alignment
👉 Tip: To save screen space, drag the CVD Line indicator into the same panel as CVD Divergence Insights.
⸻
🧰 Why Use This?
• ✅ Catch absorption setups and failed pressure zones
• ✅ Filter out low-quality divergences using volume context
• ✅ Understand why price is hesitating or breaking out
• ✅ Add smart confirmation to breakout/reversal trades
• ✅ Align your execution with who’s actually in control

Four-Color Order Flow System Four-Color Order Flow System – Smart Money Liquidity Tracking
Revolutionizing Market Structure with a Four-Color Candle System
Traditional candlestick charts lack real-time liquidity visibility, forcing traders to rely on lagging indicators. The Four-Color Order Flow System solves this by integrating Order Blocks (OBs), Accumulation/Distribution (AD), Swing High/Low (SH/SL), and Delta metrics directly into the candle structure. This mashup of volume, price action, and liquidity flow gives traders an intuitive and immediate read on market conditions.
📌 Key Features & How They Work Together
🔹 Four-Color Candles – A Visual Edge Over Traditional Charts
Instead of basic red/green candles, we introduce a four-color system to highlight key liquidity shifts:
• 🔴 Red – Bearish pressure, aggressive sellers dominating.
• 🟢 Green – Bullish pressure, buyers stepping in.
• 🔵 Blue – Swing Highs (SH), Bullish Order Blocks (OBs), Accumulation zones.
• 🟡 Yellow – Swing Lows (SL), areas of liquidity sweep or potential reversal.
This eliminates the need to switch between multiple indicators—price structure, liquidity zones, and order flow are embedded directly into the chart.
🔹 EMA Logic – The Trend Foundation
The EMA acts as the core trend filter, dynamically adjusting to market bias. When combined with delta and liquidity flow, it helps traders confirm whether price action aligns with smart money movements.
🔹 Order Flow & Liquidity Mashup – What’s Really Moving the Market?
📊 Rolling Delta & Cumulative Delta – Track aggressive buyers/sellers and confirm if momentum is sustained or fading.
💰 Liquidity Flow & Shift – Shows whether market makers are accumulating or distributing, helping traders avoid fake breakouts.
📈 Money Flow Index & Value – Measures real institutional participation vs. retail noise.
These elements combine to validate price moves, making it clear when smart money is truly in control.
🔹 Swing Highs & Lows – Market Structure in Real-Time
SH/SL markers don’t lag behind multiple candles like in traditional indicators. Instead, they align with OBs and liquidity flow, giving a strong confirmation of trend continuation or reversal.
🔹 Live Label Update – Real-Time Market Intelligence
The dynamic label box provides a live feed of critical metrics, including:
✅ EMA Bias – Confirms market direction.
✅ Rolling & Cumulative Delta – Tracks aggressive buy/sell imbalances.
✅ Liquidity Flow & Money Flow Index – Confirms institutional strength.
✅ FVG Execution Scanning (Coming Soon!)
This ensures traders have instant insight into market conditions without needing to check multiple sources.
📈 Why Traders Need This System
🔹 Faster Decision-Making – No need to flip between indicators; everything is visible on the chart.
🔹 Clearer Liquidity Insights – Order flow, delta, and structure all in sync.
🔹 Works for Scalping & Day Trading – Designed for real-time execution, not lagging signals.
By integrating order blocks, liquidity shifts, and a four-color candle system, this tool provides the most complete view of market control in a single chart.
📌 Stop reacting. Start anticipating. Trade with the flow of smart money.
CandelaCharts - CRT Model📝 Overview
The Candle Range Theory (CRT) is a trading concept that focuses on analyzing the price movement within the range of individual candlesticks to understand market dynamics and predict future price actions.
It posits that each candlestick represents a distinct range of price action, defined by its high, low, open, and close, and that price movements are structured within these ranges.
📦 Features

ICT SMT (fadi)The ICT SMT (fadi) Indicator is a powerful indicator inspired by the Inner Circle Trader (ICT) methodology, designed to identify Smart Money Technique (SMT) divergences between correlated assets. This indicator helps traders spot potential reversal points or trend shifts by comparing price action of a user-defined symbol (e.g., “ES1!” for E-mini S&P 500 futures) against the current chart’s price structure. Ideal for forex, indices, futures, and crypto markets, it highlights discrepancies in correlated asset behavior to enhance trading decisions.
These discrepancies occur when one asset shows signs of strength—such as holding support or rallying—while the other weakens or drops, signaling potential manipulation or a shift in smart money activity. This is relevant because it reveals where institutional traders may be accumulating or distributing positions, giving insight into impending trend changes. This indicator offers higher accuracy and detects nearly every SMT present on the chart by calculating multiple possibilities.
Features
• Smart Algorithmic detection of high probability SMTs
• Detect SMT with two other symbols
• Detect 2-Candle SMT as an additional configurable option
• Confirmation and Invalidation levels
• Expand or narrow the detection range by changing the number of pivots to use
• Raise alerts when SMT has been detected
Usage
1. Apply the indicator to your chart.
2. In the settings, input a correlated symbol (e.g., “NQ1!” for Nasdaq futures if charting “ES1!”, or “EURUSD” if analyzing “GBPUSD”).
3. Monitor the plotted markers and labels:
• Green markers for bullish divergences.
• Red markers for bearish divergences.
4. Combine with other ICT concepts (e.g., order blocks, liquidity zones) for higher-probability setups.
Best Practices
• Pair with strongly correlated assets (e.g., ES vs. NQ, EURUSD vs. GBPUSD) for reliable signals.
• Backtest on your chosen market to confirm effectiveness.
mrD Open InterestIntroduction
"mrD Open Interest" is a technical analysis reference tool that can help investors monitor and analyze Open Interest data from various cryptocurrency exchanges. This indicator provides insights into Open Interest data through patterns, bursts, and money flow based on proprietary algorithms.
Important Note
Trading always involves risk and can lead to capital loss. This indicator should only be used as a supplementary tool in technical analysis and should not be considered as an accurate forecasting tool or the sole basis for trading decisions. Past results do not guarantee future results.
Proprietary Features of the Indicator
"mrD Open Interest" has been developed with several proprietary features, qualifying it for source code protection when published:
- Unique Multi-Source Integration Algorithm: The indicator uses a smart aggregation method to combine OI data from multiple exchanges, creating a holistic view of market pressure that is not dependent on a single exchange. This method employs special weighting and noise filtering to ensure the aggregated data accurately reflects market conditions.
- Proprietary OI-Price Correlation Analysis Algorithm: Unlike traditional OI indicators that simply display OI values, this indicator uses a complex algorithm to analyze the correlation between price movements and OI changes. This algorithm automatically identifies four money flow patterns (Buy Inflow, Sell Inflow, Buy Outflow, Sell Outflow) and ranks them by potential market impact.
- Advanced Burst Detection Technology: The proprietary algorithm identifies "bursts" - sudden changes in OI that can lead to significant market volatility. This system relies not only on absolute change but also analyzes the rate of change, amplitude, and correlation with historical peaks/troughs to determine the significance of a burst.
- Integrated Smart Alert System: The indicator features a smart alert algorithm, only sending notifications when patterns with high statistical significance are detected, reducing "alert noise" and helping users focus on the most potential opportunities.
- Visual Representation Technology: The user interface design uses proprietary visual representation technology, allowing users to easily identify important patterns and signals through a special system of colors, icons, and display formats.
Features That May Assist
1. Reference Data from Multiple Exchanges: The indicator can collect Open Interest information from various exchanges (Binance, BitMEX, Kraken) and different currency pairs (USDT, USD, BUSD), potentially providing investors with more information about the market.
2.Money Flow Pattern Analysis: The indicator suggests 4 patterns that may help identify market conditions:
Buy Inflow: Potential opening of new long positions (price up, OI up)
Buy Outflow: Potential closing of long positions (price down, OI down)
Sell Inflow: Potential opening of new short positions (price down, OI up)
Sell Outflow: Potential closing of short positions (price up, OI down)
Burst Identification: The indicator attempts to detect "bursts" - notable changes in Open Interest that may signal changes in money flow. Bursts are divided into two types: Up Burst and Down Burst.
3. Price-OI Correlation Reference: The tool provides information about the relationship between price movement and OI changes, potentially helping to assess whether current price momentum is supported by new money flow.
4. Diverse Display Modes: The indicator offers 3 display modes (Columns, Candles, Columns, and Price Line) that may suit different analytical approaches.
Setup and Usage Guide
1. Basic Setup
Select Data Sources (Exchange Settings):
By default, the indicator uses data from Binance USDT Perpetual.
Depending on the coin pair and exchange you're interested in, you can enable/disable different data sources (Binance USD, BUSD, BitMEX USD, USDT, or Kraken).
Recommendation: For popular coins like BTC or ETH, consider combining data from 2-3 major exchanges for a more comprehensive view.
2. Display Customization (Visuals Settings):
OI Display Type: Choose a display type that suits your analysis style:
"Columns": Column format, making it easy to identify OI changes.
"Candles": Candle format, similar to price charts, helps identify candlestick patterns in OI.
"Columns and Price Line": Combines OI columns and price line, helping directly compare OI with price movements.
Show background: Enable to highlight burst periods with a colored background (recommended when using candle mode).
Show signals: Enable to display of burst indicators on the chart (recommended to keep enabled).
Text Color: Customize text color to match your chart background.
3. Alert Settings:
hoose alert types that suit your trading strategy:
"Inflows Only": Only alerts when new money flows into the market.
"Outflows Only": Only alerts when money flows out of the market.
"Bursts Only": Only alerts when there's a strong burst in OI.
"All": Alerts for all the above events.
Effective Usage
Trend Analysis Based on Money Flow Patterns:
Buy Inflow (Green): When the price increases along with OI, it may indicate new buying pressure. Can be considered as a supportive signal for an uptrend.
Sell Inflow (Red): When price decreases along with increasing OI, it may indicate new selling pressure. Can be considered as a supportive signal for a downtrend.
Buy Outflow (Teal): When price decreases but OI also decreases, it may indicate taking profit/cutting loss from long positions. Usually not strong selling pressure and may be ending soon.
Sell Outflow (Dark Red): When the price increases but OI decreases, it may indicate closing of short positions. Usually not strong buying pressure and may be ending soon.
Burst Analysis:
Up Burst: Strong and positive change in OI, most notable when occurring in a Buy Inflow pattern, may signal strong buying money flow into the market.
Down Burst: Strong and negative change in OI, most notable when occurring in a Sell Inflow pattern, may signal strong selling money flow into the market.
Bursts are often signals that deserve special attention and may indicate strong changes in market sentiment.
Using the Information Table:
Monitor "Aggregated OI" to capture the total amount of open contracts.
Pay attention to "OI Change (%)" to assess the degree of change compared to the previous candle.
"Relative OI" provides information about the relative level of OI compared to the average.
"Flow Type" indicates the current money flow pattern.
"Burst Status" displays the burst status if any.
Combining with Other Indicators:
Use in combination with trend indicators (MA, MACD) to confirm trends.
Combine with volume indicators for a more comprehensive view of market activity.
Reference additional momentum indicators to assess trend strength.
Customizing According to Timeframe:
Short timeframes (1m-15m): May show more noise signals.
Medium timeframes (30m-4h): Often provide a good balance between sensitivity and noise filtering.
Long timeframes (D-W): Suitable for monitoring long-term OI trends.

• Wave N Pattern (Price Action)
• KDJ Oscillator (Momentum)
• Volume Filtering (Confirmation)
• Smart Money Concepts (Order Blocks) (Institutional Activity)
• Ichimoku Cloud (Trend and Support/Resistance)
By integrating these components, the indicator identifies high-probability trading signals, early warnings of trend shifts, and institutional price zones to improve decision-making in volatile markets.
⸻
How It Works
1️⃣ Wave N Pattern (Price Action Structure)
The Wave N pattern is a classic price action formation that helps spot potential trend reversals and continuations:
• A Bullish Wave N is detected when a higher low and a higher high structure appears.
• A Bearish Wave N is detected when a lower high and a lower low structure forms.
2️⃣ KDJ Oscillator (Momentum & Trend Strength)
The KDJ Indicator is a variation of the Stochastic Oscillator that adds a third line, J, to amplify sensitivity to trend movements.
• J > 50 indicates bullish momentum.
• J < 50 indicates bearish momentum.
• The script includes an early warning signal when J crosses 50, suggesting a possible trend shift.
3️⃣ Volume Filtering (Trade Confirmation)
To avoid false signals, the script integrates volume confirmation:
• A signal is valid only if the volume is above the 20-period EMA of volume.
• This ensures that trade signals are supported by strong market participation.
4️⃣ Smart Money Concepts (Order Blocks)
Order Blocks represent areas of institutional interest, where large traders accumulate or distribute positions.
• The script detects bullish order blocks (potential support) and bearish order blocks (potential resistance).
• These areas help identify optimal entry and exit points.
5️⃣ Ichimoku Cloud (Trend & Dynamic Support/Resistance)
The Ichimoku Cloud is used to confirm trend direction:
• Baseline (Kijun-sen) acts as a key trend filter.
• Senkou Span A & B form the cloud (Kumo), indicating dynamic support/resistance.
• Buy signals require price to be above the baseline, while sell signals require price to be below the baseline.
⸻
Trading Signals & Visual Elements
✅ BUY Signal (Green Arrow)
Occurs when:
• A Bullish Wave N forms
• J > 50 (Bullish KDJ Signal)
• Volume is above EMA threshold
• Price is above the Ichimoku Baseline
❌ SELL Signal (Red Arrow)
Occurs when:
• A Bearish Wave N forms
• J < 50 (Bearish KDJ Signal)
• Volume is above EMA threshold
• Price is below the Ichimoku Baseline
⚠️ Early Warning (Trend Shift Signal)
• An early warning appears when J crosses 50, indicating a possible upcoming trend shift.
• The line color changes based on the potential move:
• Green/Blue → Possible Uptrend
• Red/Orange → Possible Downtrend
⸻

Quarterly Theory ICT 01 [TradingFinder] XAMD + Q1-Q4 Sessions🔵 Introduction
The Quarterly Theory ICT indicator is an advanced analytical system based on the concepts of ICT (Inner Circle Trader) and fractal time. It divides time into quarterly periods and accurately determines entry and exit points for trades by using the True Open as the starting point of each cycle. This system is applicable across various time frames including annual, monthly, weekly, daily, and even 90-minute sessions.
Time is divided into four quarters: in the first quarter (Q1), which is dedicated to the Accumulation phase, the market is in a consolidation state, laying the groundwork for a new trend; in the second quarter (Q2), allocated to the Manipulation phase (also known as Judas Swing), sudden price changes and false moves occur, marking the true starting point of a trend change; the third quarter (Q3) is dedicated to the Distribution phase, during which prices are broadly distributed and price volatility peaks; and the fourth quarter (Q4), corresponding to the Continuation/Reversal phase, either continues or reverses the previous trend.
By leveraging smart algorithms and technical analysis, this system identifies optimal price patterns and trading positions through the precise detection of stop-run and liquidity zones.
With the division of time into Q1 through Q4 and by incorporating key terms such as Quarterly Theory ICT, True Open, Accumulation, Manipulation (Judas Swing), Distribution, Continuation/Reversal, ICT, fractal time, smart algorithms, technical analysis, price patterns, trading positions, stop-run, and liquidity, this system enables traders to identify market trends and make informed trading decisions using real data and precise analysis.
♦ Important Note :
This indicator and the "Quarterly Theory ICT" concept have been developed based on material published in primary sources, notably the articles on Daye( traderdaye ) and Joshuuu . All copyright rights are reserved.
🔵 How to Use
The Quarterly Theory ICT strategy is built on dividing time into four distinct periods across various time frames such as annual, monthly, weekly, daily, and even 90-minute sessions. In this approach, time is segmented into four quarters, during which the phases of Accumulation, Manipulation (Judas Swing), Distribution, and Continuation/Reversal appear in a systematic and recurring manner.
The first segment (Q1) functions as the Accumulation phase, where the market consolidates and lays the foundation for future movement; the second segment (Q2) represents the Manipulation phase, during which prices experience sudden initial changes, and with the aid of the True Open concept, the real starting point of the market’s movement is determined; in the third segment (Q3), the Distribution phase takes place, where prices are widely dispersed and price volatility reaches its peak; and finally, the fourth segment (Q4) is recognized as the Continuation/Reversal phase, in which the previous trend either continues or reverses.
This strategy, by harnessing the concepts of fractal time and smart algorithms, enables precise analysis of price patterns across multiple time frames and, through the identification of key points such as stop-run and liquidity zones, assists traders in optimizing their trading positions. Utilizing real market data and dividing time into Q1 through Q4 allows for a comprehensive and multi-level technical analysis in which optimal entry and exit points are identified by comparing prices to the True Open.
Thus, by focusing on keywords like Quarterly Theory ICT, True Open, Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution, Continuation/Reversal, ICT, fractal time, smart algorithms, technical analysis, price patterns, trading positions, stop-run, and liquidity, the Quarterly Theory ICT strategy acts as a coherent framework for predicting market trends and developing trading strategies.

🔵 Conclusion
Quarterly Theory ICT provides a fractal and recurring approach to analyzing price behavior by dividing time into four quarters (Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4) and defining the True Open at the beginning of the second phase.
The Accumulation, Manipulation (Judas Swing), Distribution, and Continuation/Reversal phases repeat in each cycle, allowing traders to identify price patterns with greater precision across annual, monthly, weekly, daily, and even micro-level time frames.
Focusing on the True Open as the primary reference point enables faster recognition of potential trend changes and facilitates optimal management of trading positions. In summary, this strategy, based on ICT principles and fractal time concepts, offers a powerful framework for predicting future market movements, identifying optimal entry and exit points, and managing risk in various trading conditions.
[TehThomas] - ICT Volume ImbalanceThis script is a Volume Imbalance (VI) detector and visualizer for use on the TradingView platform. The goal of the script is to automatically identify areas where there are significant imbalances in the volume of trades between consecutive candlesticks and visually highlight these areas. These imbalances can provide traders with valuable insights about the market’s current condition, often signaling potential reversal or continuation points based on price and volume action.
ICT (Inner Circle Trader) Concept of Volume Imbalances
Volume imbalances are a critical concept in the ICT trading methodology. They refer to situations where there is an unusual or significant difference in volume between two consecutive candlesticks, which might indicate institutional or large player activity. According to ICT principles, these imbalances can show us areas of market inefficiency or potential price manipulation. By identifying these imbalances, traders can gain an edge in understanding where the market is likely to move next.
Bullish and Bearish Volume Imbalances:
Bullish Volume Imbalance: This occurs when there is a strong increase in buying pressure, typically indicated by a higher volume on a candle that closes significantly above the previous one, often leaving a gap or larger price movement. The market could be preparing to push higher, and the volume shows a clear shift in buying demand.
Bearish Volume Imbalance:
Conversely, a bearish imbalance occurs when there is a strong increase in selling pressure, typically signaled by a candle that closes significantly lower than the previous one, again with higher volume. This could indicate that large players are offloading positions, and the price is likely to drop further.
Key Features and Functions of the Script
The script automates the process of detecting these volume imbalances and visually marking them on a price chart. Let’s explore its functionality in detail.
1. Inputs Section
The script allows for significant customization through its input options, which help traders adjust the detection and visualization of volume imbalances based on their individual preferences and trading style. Below are the details:
lookback (250 bars): This input specifies the number of bars (or candles) the script should look back when analyzing the volume imbalance. By setting this to 250, the user is looking at the last 250 bars on the chart to detect any significant volume imbalances. This period is adjustable between 50 to 500 bars.
volumeThreshold (1.0 multiplier): This input helps set the sensitivity for identifying volume imbalances. The script compares the volume of the current candle with the previous one, and if the current volume exceeds the previous volume by this threshold multiplier (in this case, 1.0 means at least equal to the previous volume), then it triggers an imbalance. Users can adjust the multiplier to suit different market conditions.
showBoxes (true/false): This toggle determines whether the boxes representing volume imbalances are drawn on the chart. When enabled, the script visually highlights the imbalances with colored boxes.
fillBaseColor (orange with 80% opacity): This is the color setting for the background of the imbalance boxes. A softer color (like orange with opacity) ensures the imbalance is highlighted without obscuring the price action.
borderColor (gray): The color of the border around the imbalance boxes. This adds a visual distinction to make the imbalance areas more visible.
borderWidth (1 pixel): This controls the width of the box's border to adjust how prominent it appears.
rightOffset (30 bars): This input controls how far the imbalance box extends to the right on the chart. It helps users anticipate the potential continuation of the imbalance beyond the current candle.
allowWickOverlap (true/false): This setting allows imbalances to be identified even if the wicks of the two consecutive candlesticks overlap. If set to false, only imbalances where the bodies of the candlesticks don’t overlap are considered.
showBrokenBoxes (true/false): If enabled, once a volume imbalance no longer holds true (i.e., the price breaks through the box), the box is marked as "broken." If disabled, the box is deleted when the imbalance condition no longer applies.
brokenBoxColor (red): This controls the color of the box when it is broken, which can be used as a visual cue that the imbalance was invalidated or no longer valid for analysis.
2. Volume Imbalance Function
This is the core function of the script, where the logic to detect bullish and bearish volume imbalances is implemented.
Bullish Imbalance Condition:
The first condition checks if the low of the current candle is greater than the high of the previous candle. This suggests that the market is moving upward with buying pressure.
The second condition checks whether the volume of the current candle is higher than the previous candle by the volumeThreshold multiplier. If both conditions are satisfied, a bullish imbalance is detected.
Bearish Imbalance Condition:
The first condition checks if the high of the current candle is lower than the low of the previous candle. This suggests downward price action with selling pressure.
The second condition checks whether the current volume exceeds the previous volume by the threshold
Allow Wick Overlap: If allowWickOverlap is set to true, the script will still detect imbalances if the wicks of the two candles overlap (common in volatile markets). If false, imbalances are only considered if the wicks do not overlap.
3. Box Creation and Management
When a volume imbalance is detected, the script creates a box on the chart:
The bullish imbalance box is drawn using the minimum of the open and close of the current bar as the top boundary and the maximum of the open and close of the previous bar as the bottom boundary.
Conversely, the bearish imbalance box is drawn in reverse, using the maximum of the current bar’s open and close as the top boundary and the minimum of the previous bar’s open and close as the bottom boundary.
Once the box is created, it is displayed on the chart with the specified background color, border color, and width.
4. Processing Existing Boxes
After detecting a new imbalance and drawing a box, the script checks whether the box should still remain on the chart:
If the price moves beyond the boundaries of the imbalance box, the box is marked as broken (if showBrokenBoxes is enabled), and its color is changed to red, signifying that the imbalance is no longer valid.
If the box remains intact (i.e., the price has not broken the defined boundaries), the script keeps the box extended to the right as the market continues to evolve.
5. Removing Outdated Boxes
Lastly, the script removes boxes that are older than the specified lookback period. For example, if a box was created 250 bars ago, it will be deleted after that period. This ensures the chart stays clean and only focuses on relevant imbalances.
Why This Script is Useful for Traders
This script is extremely valuable for traders, especially those following the ICT methodology, because it automates the process of detecting market inefficiencies or imbalances that might signal future price action. Here’s why it’s particularly useful:
Identifying Key Areas of Interest: Volume imbalances often point to areas where institutional or large-scale traders have entered the market. These areas could provide clues about the next significant move in the market.
Visualizing Market Structure: By automatically drawing boxes around volume imbalances, the script helps traders visually identify potential areas of support, resistance, or turning points, enabling them to make informed trading decisions.
Time Efficiency: Instead of manually analyzing each candlestick and volume spike, this script does the heavy lifting, saving traders valuable time and allowing them to focus on other aspects of their strategy.
Enhanced Trade Entries and Exits: By understanding where volume imbalances are occurring, traders can time their entries (buying during bullish imbalances and selling during bearish ones) and exits (as imbalances break) more effectively, thus improving their chances of success.
Conclusion
In summary, this script is a powerful tool for traders looking to implement volume imbalance strategies based on the ICT methodology. It automates the identification and visualization of significant imbalances in price and volume, offering traders a clear visual representation of potential market turning points. By customizing the settings, traders can tailor the script to their preferred timeframes and sensitivity, making it a flexible and effective tool for any trading strategy.
