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

5DMA Optional HMA Entry📈 5DMA Optional HMA Entry Signal – Precision-Based Momentum Trigger
Category: Trend-Following / Reversal Timing / Entry Optimization
🔍 Overview:
The 5DMA Optional HMA Entry indicator is a refined price-action entry tool built for traders who rely on clean trend alignment and precise timing. This script identifies breakout-style entry points when price gains upward momentum relative to short-term moving averages — specifically the 5-day Simple Moving Average (5DMA) and an optional Hull Moving Average (HMA).
Whether you're swing trading stocks, scalping ETFs like UVXY or VXX, or looking for pullback recovery entries, this tool helps time your long entries with clarity and flexibility.
⚙️ Core Logic:
Primary Condition (Always On):
🔹 Close must be above the 5DMA – ensuring upward short-term momentum is confirmed.
Optional Condition (Toggled by User):
🔹 Close above the HMA – adds slope-responsive trend filtering for smoother setups. Enable or disable via checkbox.
Bonus Entry Filter (Optional):
🔹 Green Candle Wick Breakout – optional pattern logic that detects bullish momentum when the high pierces above both MAs, with a green body.
Reset Mechanism:
🔁 Signal resets only after price closes back below all active MAs (5DMA and HMA if enabled), reducing noise and avoiding repeated signals during chop.
🧠 Why This Works:
This indicator captures the kind of setups that professional traders look for:
Momentum crossovers without chasing late.
Mean reversion snapbacks that align with fresh bullish moves.
Avoids premature entries by requiring clear structure above moving averages.
Optional HMA filter allows adaptability: turn it off during choppy markets or range conditions, and on during trending environments.
🔔 Features:
✅ Adjustable HMA Length
✅ Enable/Disable HMA Filter
✅ Optional Green Wick Breakout Detection
✅ Visual “Buy” label plotted below qualifying bars
✅ Real-time Alert Conditions for automated trading or manual alerts
🎯 Use Cases:
VIX-based ETFs (e.g., UVXY, VXX): Catch early breakouts aligned with volatility spikes.
Growth Stocks: Time pullback entries during bullish runs.
Futures/Indices: Combine with macro levels for intraday scalps or swing setups.
Overlay on Trend Filters: Combine with RSI, MACD, or VWAP for confirmation.
🛠️ Recommended Settings:
For smooth setups in volatile names, use:
HMA Length: 20
Keep green wick filter ON
For fast momentum trades, disable the HMA filter to act on 5DMA alone.
⭐ Final Thoughts:
This script is built to serve both systematic traders and discretionary scalpers who want actionable signals without noise or lag. The toggleable HMA feature lets you adjust sensitivity depending on market conditions — a key edge in adapting to volatility cycles.
Perfect for those who value clean, non-repainting entries rooted in logical structure.
Yelober_Momentum_BreadthMI# Yelober_Momentum_BreadthMI: Market Breadth Indicator Analysis
## Overview
The Yelober_Momentum_BreadthMI is a comprehensive market breadth indicator designed to monitor market internals across NYSE and NASDAQ exchanges. It tracks several key metrics including up/down volume ratios, TICK readings, and trend momentum to provide traders with real-time insights into market direction, strength, and potential turning points.
## Indicator Components
This indicator displays a table with data for:
- NYSE breadth metrics
- NASDAQ breadth metrics
- NYSE TICK data and trends
- NASDAQ TICK (TICKQ) data and trends
## Table Columns and Interpretation
### Column 1: Market
Identifies the data source:
- **NYSE**: New York Stock Exchange data
- **NASDAQ**: NASDAQ exchange data
- **Tick**: NYSE TICK index
- **TickQ**: NASDAQ TICK index
### Column 2: Ratio
Shows the current ratio values with different calculations depending on the row:
- **For NYSE/NASDAQ rows**: Displays the up/down volume ratio
- Positive values (green): More up volume than down volume
- Negative values (red): More down volume than up volume
- The magnitude indicates the strength of the imbalance
- **For Tick/TickQ rows**: Shows the ratio of positive to negative ticks plus the current TICK reading in parentheses
- Format: "Ratio (Current TICK value)"
- Positive values (green): More stocks ticking up than down
- Negative values (red): More stocks ticking down than up
### Column 3: Trend
Displays the directional trend with both a symbol and value:
- **For NYSE/NASDAQ rows**: Shows the VOLD (volume difference) slope
- "↗": Rising trend (positive slope)
- "↘": Falling trend (negative slope)
- "→": Neutral/flat trend (minimal slope)
- **For Tick/TickQ rows**: Shows the slope of the ratio history
- Color-coding: Green for positive momentum, Red for negative momentum, Gray for neutral
The trend column is particularly important as it shows the current momentum of the market. The indicator applies specific thresholds for color-coding:
- NYSE: Green when normalized value > 2, Red when < -2
- NASDAQ: Green when normalized value > 3.5, Red when < -3.5
- TICK/TICKQ: Green when slope > 0.01, Red when slope < -0.01
## How to Use This Indicator
### Basic Interpretation
1. **Market Direction**: When multiple rows show green ratios and upward trends, it suggests strong bullish market internals. Conversely, red ratios and downward trends indicate bearish internals.
2. **Market Breadth**: The magnitude of the ratios indicates how broad-based the market movement is. Higher absolute values suggest stronger market breadth.
3. **Momentum Shifts**: When trend arrows change direction or colors shift, it may signal a potential reversal or change in market momentum.
4. **Divergences**: Look for divergences between different markets (NYSE vs NASDAQ) or between ratios and trends, which can indicate potential market turning points.
### Advanced Usage
- **Volume Normalization**: The indicator includes options to normalize volume data (none, tens, thousands, millions, 10th millions) to handle different exchange scales.
- **Trend Averaging**: The slope calculation uses an averaging period (default: 5) to smooth out noise and identify more reliable trend signals.
## Examples for Interpretation
### Example 1: Strong Bullish Market
```
| Market | Ratio | Trend |
|--------|---------|-----------|
| NYSE | 1.75 | ↗ 2.85 |
| NASDAQ | 2.10 | ↗ 4.12 |
| Tick | 2.45 (485) | ↗ 0.05 |
| TickQ | 1.95 (320) | ↗ 0.03 |
```
**Interpretation**: All metrics are positive and trending upward (green), indicating a strong, broad-based rally. The high ratio values show significant bullish dominance. This suggests continuation of the upward move with good momentum.
### Example 2: Weakening Market
```
| Market | Ratio | Trend |
|--------|---------|-----------|
| NYSE | 0.45 | ↘ -1.50 |
| NASDAQ | 0.85 | → 0.30 |
| Tick | 0.95 (105) | ↘ -0.02 |
| TickQ | 1.20 (160) | → 0.00 |
```
**Interpretation**: The market is showing mixed signals with positive but low ratios, while NYSE and TICK trends are turning negative. NASDAQ shows neutral to slightly positive momentum. This divergence often occurs near market tops or during consolidation phases. Traders should be cautious and consider reducing position sizes.
### Example 3: Negative Market Turning Positive
```
| Market | Ratio | Trend |
|--------|---------|-----------|
| NYSE | -1.25 | ↗ 1.75 |
| NASDAQ | -0.95 | ↗ 2.80 |
| Tick | -1.35 (-250) | ↗ 0.04 |
| TickQ | -1.10 (-180) | ↗ 0.02 |
```
**Interpretation**: This is a potential bottoming pattern. Current ratios are still negative (red) showing overall negative breadth, but the trends are all positive (green arrows), indicating improving momentum. This divergence often occurs at market bottoms and could signal an upcoming reversal. Look for confirmation with price action before establishing long positions.
### Example 4: Mixed Market with Divergence
```
| Market | Ratio | Trend |
|--------|---------|-----------|
| NYSE | 1.45 | ↘ -2.25 |
| NASDAQ | -0.85 | ↘ -3.80 |
| Tick | 1.20 (230) | ↘ -0.03 |
| TickQ | -0.75 (-120) | ↘ -0.02 |
```
**Interpretation**: There's a significant divergence between NYSE (positive ratio) and NASDAQ (negative ratio), while all trends are negative. This suggests sector rotation or a market that's weakening but with certain segments still showing strength. Often seen during late-stage bull markets or in transitions between leadership groups. Consider reducing risk exposure and focusing on relative strength sectors.
## Practical Trading Applications
1. **Confirmation Tool**: Use this indicator to confirm price movements. Strong breadth readings in the direction of the price trend increase confidence in trade decisions.
2. **Early Warning System**: Watch for divergences between price and breadth metrics, which often precede market turns.
3. **Intraday Trading**: The real-time nature of TICK and volume data makes this indicator valuable for day traders to gauge intraday momentum shifts.
4. **Market Regime Identification**: Sustained readings can help identify whether the market is in a trend or chop regime, allowing for appropriate strategy selection.
This breadth indicator is most effective when used in conjunction with price action and other technical indicators rather than in isolation.
Yelober - Sector Rotation Detector# Yelober - Sector Rotation Detector: User Guide
## Overview
The Yelober - Sector Rotation Detector is a TradingView indicator designed to track sector performance and identify market rotations in real-time. It monitors key sector ETFs, calculates performance metrics, and provides actionable stock recommendations based on sector strength and weakness.
## Purpose
This indicator helps traders identify when capital is moving from one sector to another (sector rotation), which can provide valuable trading opportunities. It also detects risk-off conditions in the market and highlights sectors with abnormal trading volume.
## Table Columns Explained
### 1. Sector
Displays the sector name being monitored. The indicator tracks six primary sectors plus the S&P 500:
- Energy (XLE)
- Financial (XLF)
- Technology (XLK)
- Consumer Staples (XLP)
- Utilities (XLU)
- Consumer Discretionary (XLY)
- S&P 500 (SPY)
### 2. Perf %
Shows the daily percentage performance of each sector ETF. Values are color-coded:
- Green: Positive performance
- Red: Negative performance
Positive values display with a "+" sign (e.g., +1.25%)
### 3. RSI
Displays the Relative Strength Index value for each sector, which helps identify overbought or oversold conditions:
- Values above 70 (highlighted in red): Potentially overbought
- Values below 30 (highlighted in green): Potentially oversold
- Values between 30-70 (highlighted in blue): Neutral territory
### 4. Vol Ratio
Shows the volume ratio, which compares today's volume to the average volume over the lookback period:
- Values above 1.5x (highlighted in yellow): Indicates abnormally high trading volume
- Values below 1.5x (highlighted in blue): Normal trading volume
This helps identify sectors with unusual activity that may signal important price movements.
### 5. Trend
Displays the current price trend direction with symbols:
- ▲ (green): Uptrend (today's close > yesterday's close)
- ▼ (red): Downtrend (today's close < yesterday's close)
- ◆ (gray): Neutral (today's close = yesterday's close)
## Summary & Recommendations Section
The summary section provides:
1. **Sector Rotation Detection**: Identifies when there's a significant performance gap (>2%) between the strongest and weakest sectors.
2. **Risk-Off Mode Detection**: Alerts when defensive sectors (Consumer Staples and Utilities) are positive while Technology is negative, which often signals investors are moving to safer assets.
3. **Strong Volume Detection**: Indicates when any sector shows abnormally high trading volume.
4. **Stock Recommendations**: Suggests specific stocks to consider for long positions (from the strongest sectors) and short positions (from the weakest sectors).
## Example Interpretations
### Example 1: Sector Rotation
If you see:
- Technology: -1.85%
- Financial: +2.10%
- Summary shows: "SECTOR ROTATION DETECTED: Rotation from Technology to Financial"
**Interpretation**: Capital is moving out of tech stocks and into financial stocks. This could be due to rising interest rates, which typically benefit banks while pressuring high-growth tech companies. Consider looking at financial stocks like JPM, BAC, and WFC for potential long positions.
### Example 2: Risk-Off Conditions
If you see:
- Consumer Staples: +0.80%
- Utilities: +1.20%
- Technology: -1.50%
- Summary shows: "RISK-OFF MODE DETECTED"
**Interpretation**: Investors are seeking safety in defensive sectors while selling growth-oriented tech stocks. This often occurs during market uncertainty or ahead of economic concerns. Consider reducing exposure to high-beta stocks and possibly adding defensive names like PG, KO, or NEE.
### Example 3: Volume Spike
If you see:
- Energy: +3.20% with Volume Ratio 2.5x (highlighted in yellow)
- Summary shows: "STRONG VOLUME DETECTED"
**Interpretation**: The energy sector is making a strong move with significantly higher-than-average volume, suggesting conviction behind the price movement. This could indicate the beginning of a sustained trend in energy stocks. Consider names like XOM, CVX, and COP.
## How to Use the Indicator
1. Apply the indicator to any chart (works best on daily timeframes).
2. Customize settings if needed:
- Timeframe: Choose between intraday (60 or 240 minutes), daily, or weekly
- Lookback Period: Adjust the historical comparison period (default: 20)
- RSI Period: Modify the RSI calculation period (default: 14)
3. To refresh the data: Click the settings icon, increase the "Click + to refresh data" counter, and click "OK".
4. Identify opportunities based on sector performance, RSI levels, volume ratios, and the summary recommendations.
This indicator helps traders align with market rotation trends and identify which sectors (and specific stocks) may outperform or underperform in the near term.

TradeQUO Herrick Payoff RSIHerrick Payoff Index RSI (HPI-RSI) with Signal Line
An advanced oscillator that measures market strength not just by price, but by "smart money flow."
This indicator is not a typical RSI. Instead of applying the Relative Strength Index to price alone, it calculates it on the cumulative Herrick Payoff Index (HPI) . This creates a unique oscillator that reflects the underlying sentiment and capital flow in the market.
What is the Herrick Payoff Index (HPI)?
The HPI is a classic sentiment indicator that combines three crucial elements to determine if money is flowing into or out of an asset:
Price Change: The direction and momentum of the market.
Trading Volume: The conviction behind the price movement.
Open Interest (OI): The total number of open contracts (mainly in futures), which indicates if new capital is entering the market.
By combining these factors, the HPI provides a more comprehensive picture of market strength than indicators based solely on price.
How This Indicator Works
The script follows a logical, multi-step process:
It calculates the raw Herrick Payoff Index for each bar.
It creates a cumulative sum of this index to generate a continuous money flow value.
This cumulative value is smoothed with a short-period EMA to reduce noise.
The RSI is then applied to this smoothed HPI value.
An additional, configurable signal line (moving average) is added to facilitate trading signals.
Interpretation and Application
You can use this indicator much like a standard RSI, but with the added context of money flow:
Overbought/Oversold: Values above 70 suggest an overbought condition, while values below 30 signal an oversold condition.
Signal Line Crossovers: A cross of the HPI-RSI line above the signal line can be seen as a bullish signal. A cross below can be seen as a bearish signal.
Divergences: Look for divergences between the indicator and the price. A bullish divergence (price makes a lower low, indicator makes a higher low) can indicate an upcoming move to the upside. A bearish divergence (price makes a higher high, indicator makes a lower high) can signal a potential move to the downside.
Settings
The indicator has been deliberately kept simple:
HPI Smoothing Length: Smoothing length (1-5) for the cumulative HPI.
RSI Length: The lookback period for the RSI calculation.
Signal Line Settings: Here you can enable/disable the signal line and customize its type and length.
Display Settings: Adjust the colors of the RSI and signal lines to your preference.
This indicator is a tool for analysis and should always be used in combination with other methods and a solid risk management strategy. Happy trading!
StochFusion – Multi D-LineStochFusion – Multi D-Line
An advanced fusion of four Stochastic %D lines into one powerful oscillator.
What it does:
Combines four user-weighted Stochastic %D lines—from fastest (9,3) to slowest (60,10)—into a single “Fusion” line that captures both short-term and long-term momentum in one view.
How to use:
Adjust the four weights (0–10) to emphasize the speed of each %D component.
Watch the Fusion line crossing key zones:
– Above 80 → overbought condition, potential short entry.
– Below 20 → oversold condition, potential long entry.
– Around 50 → neutral/midline, watch for trend shifts.
Applications:
Entry/exit filter: Only take trades when the Fusion line confirms zone exits.
Trend confirmation: Analyze slope and cross of the midline for momentum strength.
Multi-timeframe alignment: Use on different chart resolutions to find confluence.
Tips & Tricks:
Default weights give more influence to slower %D—good for trend-focused strategies.
Equal weights provide a balanced oscillator that mimics an ensemble average.
Experiment: Increase the fastest weight to capture early reversal signals.

DCI### 📌 **DCI – Direction Correlation Index**
#### 🔹 **What It Is**
The **Direction Correlation Index (DCI)** is a tool for measuring how closely a group of up to 10 symbols move together in both *trend correlation* and *short-term direction*. It helps identify whether a group of assets is acting in unison or moving independently.
---
#### ⚙️ **How It Works**
DCI outputs three key metrics:
1. **Average Correlation**
* Measures the average of all pairwise correlations between the selected symbols.
* Prices are first standardized using a z-score (based on simple moving average and standard deviation over a user-defined lookback period).
* Correlation is calculated using Pearson’s method for all 45 symbol pairs.
* Result ranges from:
* `+1.00` = strong positive correlation
* `0.00` = no correlation
* `-1.00` = strong inverse correlation
2. **Direction Agreement %**
* Checks whether each symbol is moving up or down compared to its previous bar.
* Calculates the percentage of symbols moving in the same direction.
* For example: if 7 of 10 symbols are moving up and 3 are moving down, the direction agreement is 70%.
3. **Strong Correlation Count**
* Counts how many of the 45 symbol pairs have an absolute correlation above `0.7`.
* Helps highlight how many pairs are currently highly correlated.
---
#### 📈 **How to Use It**
1. **Select Symbols**
* In the **Settings**, you can input up to 10 custom symbols. These can be stocks, indices, forex pairs, crypto, or any tradable asset.
2. **Adjust the Lookback Period**
* Defines how many bars back are used to calculate z-scores and correlations.
* Default is `12`. Use shorter periods for faster response; longer periods for smoother, slower data.
3. **Interpret the Table (Plotted on Chart)**
* **Avg Corr**: Tells you how much the group is co-moving. High correlation often reflects unified market behavior.
* **Dir Agr %**: Shows directional sync. High values mean most instruments are trending the same way in the current bar.
* **> 0.7**: The number of pairs currently strongly correlated (|corr| > 0.7).
---
#### 🧠 **Practical Usage Tips**
* Use DCI to monitor **sector alignment**, **portfolio behavior**, or **market group momentum**.
* Confirm trend strength by checking if high correlation aligns with a strong direction agreement.
* Low correlation + mixed direction can signal **choppy or indecisive markets**.
* High correlation + strong direction = **trend confirmation** across your selected instruments.

HTF Overlay Candles (Aggregated)🕯️ Synthetic Aggregated Candles
Created by: The_Forex_Steward
License: Mozilla Public License 2.0
🔍 Description
This indicator creates visually aggregated candles directly on your chart, allowing you to view synthetic candlesticks that combine multiple bars into one. It enables a higher-level perspective of price action without switching timeframes.
Each synthetic candle is built by combining a user-defined number of consecutive bars (e.g., 4 bars from the current timeframe form one aggregated candle). It accurately tracks open, high, low, and close values, then draws a colored box and wick to represent the aggregated data.
⚙️ Features
Aggregation Factor: Combine candles over a custom number of bars (e.g., 4 = 4x current TF)
Timezone Alignment: Aggregation is aligned with midnight in UTC-5 (modifiable in code)
Custom Colors: Choose colors for bullish and bearish synthetic candles
Body Opacity: Control the opacity of the candle body for visual clarity
Wick Width: Customize the thickness of the candle wick
📌 Use Case
Ideal for traders looking to:
- Reduce noise in lower timeframes
- Visualize price action in broader chunks
- Spot larger structure and swing patterns without switching charts
📈 How It Works
At every bar, the script checks whether a new aggregation interval has begun (aligned to the day start). If so, it finalizes the previous candle and starts a new one. On the last bar of the chart, it ensures the final synthetic candle is drawn.
✅ Tip
For best results, apply this script on intraday timeframes and experiment with different aggregation factors (4, 6, 12, etc.) to discover the most insightful compression for your strategy.
Note: This script is optimized for visual representation only. It does not repaint, but it is not intended for algorithmic strategies or alerts.
15Min Opening Range & Midline (UTC+2) This TradingView script draws the 15-minute Opening Range of the day based on a user-defined start time and plots the high, low, and midline of this range. It works by capturing the high and low of the first 15 minutes of the session, and then extending them for the rest of the trading day. The midline is calculated as the average of the high and low values.

COT-Index-NocTradingCOT Index Indicator
The COT Index Indicator is a powerful tool designed to visualize the Commitment of Traders (COT) data and offer insights into market sentiment. The COT Index is a measurement of the relative positioning of commercial traders versus non-commercial and retail traders in the futures market. It is widely used to identify potential market reversals by observing the extremes in trader positioning.
Customizable Timeframe: The indicator allows you to choose a custom time interval (in months) to visualize the COT data, making it flexible to fit different trading styles and strategies.
How to Use:
Visualize Market Sentiment: A COT Index near extremes (close to 0 or 100) can indicate potential turning points in the market, as it reflects extreme positioning of different market participant groups.
Adjust the Time Interval: The ability to adjust the time interval (in months) gives traders the flexibility to analyze the market over different periods, which can be useful in detecting longer-term trends or short-term shifts in sentiment.
Combine with Other Indicators: To enhance your analysis, combine the COT Index with your technical analysis.
This tool can serve as an invaluable addition to your trading strategy, providing a deeper understanding of the market dynamics and the positioning of major market participants.
Consolidation Range with Signals (Zeiierman)█ Overview
Consolidation Range with Signals (Zeiierman) is a precision tool for identifying and trading market consolidation zones, where price contracts into tight ranges before significant movement. It provides dynamic range detection using either ADX-based trend strength or volatility compression metrics, and offers built-in take profit and stop loss signals based on breakout dynamics.
Whether you trade breakouts, range reversals, or trend continuation setups, this indicator visualizes the balance between supply and demand with clearly defined mid-bands, breakout zones, and momentum-sensitive TP/SL placements.
█ How It Works
⚪ Multi-Method Range Detection
ADX Mode
Uses the Average Directional Index (ADX) to detect low-trend-strength environments. When ADX is below your selected threshold, price is considered to be in consolidation.
Volatility Mode
This mode detects consolidation by identifying periods of volatility compression. It evaluates whether the following metrics are simultaneously below their respective historical rolling averages:
Standard Deviation
Variance
Average True Range (ATR)
⚪ Dynamic Range Band System
Once a range is confirmed, the system builds a dynamic band structure using a volatility-based filter and price-jump logic:
Middle Line (Trend Filter): Reacts to price imbalance using adaptive jump logic.
Upper & Lower Bands: Calculated by expanding from the middle line using a configurable multiplier.
This creates a clean, visual box that reflects current consolidation conditions and adapts as price fluctuates within or escapes the zone.
⚪ SL/TP Signal Engine
On detection of a breakout from the range, the indicator generates up to 3 Take Profit levels and one Stop Loss, based on the breakout direction:
All TP/SL levels are calculated using the filtered base range and multipliers.
Cooldown logic ensures signals are not spammed bar-to-bar.
Entries are visualized with colored lines and labeled levels.
This feature is ideal for traders who want automated risk and reward reference points for range breakout plays.
█ How to Use
⚪ Breakout Traders
Use the SL/TP signals when the price breaks above or below the range bands, especially after extended sideways movement. You can customize how far TP1, TP2, and TP3 sit from the entry using your own risk/reward profile.
⚪ Mean Reversion Traders
Use the bands to locate high-probability reversion zones. These serve as reference zones for scalping or fade entries within stable consolidation phases.
█ Settings
Range Detection Method – Choose between ADX or Volatility compression to define range criteria.
Range Period – Determines how many bars are used to compute trend/volatility.
Range Multiplier – Scales the width of the consolidation zone.
SL/TP System – Optional levels that project TP1/TP2/TP3 and SL from the base price using multipliers.
Cooldown – Prevents repeated SL/TP signals from triggering too frequently.
ADX Threshold & Smoothing – Adjusts sensitivity of trend strength detection.
StdDev / Variance / ATR Multipliers – Fine-tune compression detection logic.

Project SynthIntroducing Project Synth !
Inspired by Pace of Tape and Cumulative Delta I created Project Synth in order to aggregate volume flow data across multiple marketsfor two primary reasions:
Traditional orderflow tools are not available on Tradingview. My script attempts to bring an original; calculus-based approach to creating not only an alternative for traditional orderflow tools, but also a more accurate one.
In order to detect genuine buying and selling pressure that cannot be easily manipulated. I did this because while I've always enjoyed concept behind both of those tools, I did not think they captured enough data to be useful. By analyzing assets that move together (positive correlation) and assets that move inversely (negative correlation), my system aims to fix the fundamental problems with those indicators and create an objective view of market sentiment based on aggregate orderflow.
Some more detailed explanations (using QQQ and SQQQ as an example):
Inverse Market Dynamics (QQQ vs SQQQ):
In an inverse market like SQQQ, aggressive buyers hit the ask when they expect the underlying (QQQ) to fall, while passive buyers wait on the bid hoping for cheaper inverse exposure. When QQQ rallies, SQQQ sees aggressive selling (people dumping their bearish bets) hitting bids, while passive sellers sit on the ask hoping to exit at better prices. The aggression flows opposite to the underlying market direction.
Why Utilizing Both Markets Provides A More Accurate Delta:
Watching both QQQ and SQQQ gives cross-validation - real buying pressure in QQQ should coincide with selling pressure in SQQQ. If you see buying in QQQ but also buying in SQQQ, that's a conflicting signal suggesting the move might be artificial or driven by other factors. The inverse relationship acts as a confirmation filter, making false signals much harder to generate.
Multiple Markets = Authentic Pressure:
The more unique, important markets you track, the harder it becomes to create fake delta moves. Real institutional buying/selling pressure affects multiple correlated assets simultaneously in predictable patterns - you can't easily manipulate tech stocks, treasury bonds, VIX, and currency pairs all at once to create a false signal. Each additional market acts as a fraud detection layer, ensuring the delta measurement reflects genuine ecosystem-wide buying and selling pressure rather than isolated manipulation or noise.
My Suggestions For Usage:
In order to keep the explanation simple and short for now, I suggest using it just like a cumulative delta indicator. For example: let's say you were watching CME_MINI:ES1! , and you had a resistance level at 6000. When the price reaches your resistance level, you would be looking for a significant divergence between price and Delta. Price : rising, Delta : falling. This means that even though the price was going up, strong and aggressive sellers are jumping in more and more, this can be used as a confirmation tool for a resistance level.
Notes For Moderators, Authors and Users:
Firstly, to the best of my knowledge, I have not been able to find many tools built around the concept of cumulative delta or pace of tape. While I know there are a couple projects, none to the magnitude of synthetically recreating these tools via an algorithm designed around basic calculus principles. While tools like Volume Delta are built in, they do not attempt to capture an accurate picture of aggregated orderflow from what I understand.
Secondly, it needs to be noted that tool aims to create an approximation of buying and selling pressure. To my knowledge it is not possible to create an accurate full picture, at least not within the limitations of Tradingview.
My scriptImplied Volatility vs Historical Volatility
**Uncheck Plot box**
IV > HV = Overvalued
IV = HV = Fair Value
IV > HV = Undervalued
1. Pair with IV Rank: Use IV vs HV to confirm the setup, but IV Rank (50+, 70+) tells you how “high” IV is relative to its own history.
2. Timeframe: Use daily charts — IV is not meaningful on intraday timeframes.
3. Avoid noise: Use a smoothed HV (e.g., 20-day) and don’t chase small crossovers — look for clear divergence.
