TPO[Fixed Range, Anchored, Bars Back]TPO Bars Back, Fixed Range and Anchored
Overview
The TPO Profile (Time Price Opportunity Profile) is a powerful market profile indicator that displays the amount of time price spent at different levels during a specified period. Unlike traditional volume profile indicators that show volume distribution, TPO Profile shows time distribution , providing insights into where price has spent the most time and identifying key support and resistance levels.

Liquidity Rush:VSMarkettrend Liquidity Rush (LR) Indicator – Market Move Detector
🔍 What is Liquidity Rush?
The Liquidity Rush (LR) indicator detects the flow of big money (institutional or high-volume traders) into a stock over a selected time frame. It visually represents the net liquidity inflow/outflow and compares it with the stock's total market capitalization (MC) to give you a contextual view of its significance.
📊 Indicator Output:
You’ll see a label like:
250.07 Cr / 0.23%MC
250.07 Cr → Liquidity change (buy/sell impact) in the selected timeframe.
0.23%MC → This liquidity is 0.23% of the stock’s market cap.
This helps you judge:
Whether the move is impactful or just noise.
If smart money is likely entering or exiting.
⚠️ Why % of Market Cap?
Volume or liquidity alone doesn't tell the full story. 100 Cr inflow in a 5,000 Cr company is significant (2%), but the same in a 50,000 Cr company is not impactful (0.2%). That’s why this indicator shows LR as a % of MC — to give you contextual importance.
🟢 When is it Powerful?
If LR % > 2% of market cap consistently → Strong entry signals likely from big players.
If LR jumps suddenly after a dull phase → Watch for breakout or reversal.
🎨 Color Coding (Based on Liquidity Amount):
<10 Cr → Low (likely retail-driven)
>10–20 Cr → Moderate (watchful)
>20–100 Cr → Heating up
>100 Cr → High liquidity activity (possible institutional move)
📅 Best Timeframes:
Use it on Daily, Weekly for quick flow detection.
Combine with price action or volume for confirmation.
Use Cases:
Identify breakouts with backing.
Filter fake moves with weak liquidity.
Spot smart money entry before price jumps.
Note : It does not means that stock with low LR are bad and not move, many stock move with low LR also, This indicator need not to be used in isolation.
SMA Background & Table Indicator# SMA Background & Table Indicator - User Guide
## What is this Indicator?
The **SMA Background & Table Indicator** is a powerful TradingView Pine Script tool that provides instant visual feedback about a stock's position relative to key Simple Moving Averages (SMAs). Instead of cluttering your chart with multiple SMA lines, this indicator uses background colors and a clean table to show you everything you need to know at a glance. You can also set custom time frame for SMA (i.e. Daily chart for SMA calculation) while watching price action in 15 min chart. You will quickly know if SMA200 losses its level on a daily without you having a need to switch back and worth between time frames. A very cool feature.

What is ATR?
The average true range (ATR) is a technical analysis indicator introduced by market technician J. Welles Wilder Jr. in his book New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems that measures security volatility by decomposing the entire range of an asset price for a time period.
Why do we use it?
Because converting price moves into ATR terms better contextualizes them relative to the asset's historical volatility!
Example: If the ATR is $2.50, it means the average price range each day is roughly $2.50.
We use an ATR length of 20 days in our calculation, and convert the 20D ATR into a 20D ATR %. The formula for ATR % is as follows:
ATR % = (ATR/Current Price) * 100
Why does MAx matter?
MAx measures the number of ATR % multiples a security is trading away from a key moving average.The default moving average length is 50 days.
MAx can be used to identify mean reversion trades . When a security trends strongly in one direction and moves significantly above or below its moving average, the price often tends to revert back toward the average.
Example, if the ATR % of the security is 5%, and the stock is trading 50% higher than the 50D SMA, the MAx would be 50%/5% = 10. A user might opt to take a countertrend trade when the MAx exceeds a predetermined level.
The MAx can also be useful when trading breakouts above or below the key moving average of your choosing. The lower the MAx, the tighter stop loss one can take if trading against that level.
Identifying an extreme price extension using MAx 👇
Price mean reverted immediately following the high MAx 👇
Why does 52WR matter?
Historical analysis conducted by market legends like William O’Neill and Mark Minervini indicates that stocks trading at or near 52wk highs tend to outperform over time, and vice versa for stocks trading close to 52wk lows. Avoiding stocks trading with a low 52WR metric can help traders avoid buying stocks in downtrends. Likewise, focusing on stocks trading with a high 52WR provides a technical edge.
💠 Stage Analysis Guide
Short-term and long-term stage analysis data is provided in the two rightmost columns of each table. The columns are labeled ST ⇅ and LT ⇅.
Why is Stage Analysis important? Popularized by Stan Weinstein, stage analysis is a trend following system that classifies assets into four stages based on price-trend analysis.
The problem? The interpretation of stage analysis is highly subjective. Based on the methodology provided in Stan Weinstein’s books, five different traders could look at the same chart, and come to different conclusions as to which stage the security is in!
We solved for this by creating our own methodology for classifying stocks into stages using moving averages. This indicator automates that analysis, and produces short-term and long-term trend signals based on user-defined key moving averages. You won’t find this in any textbook or course, because it’s completely unique to the Pristine trading methodology.
Our indicator calculates a short-term trend signal using two moving averages; a fast moving average, and a slow moving average. We default to the 10D EMA as the fast moving average & the 20D SMA as the slow moving average. A trend signal is generated based on where price is currently trading with respect to the fast moving average and the slow moving average. We use the signal to guide shorter-term swing trades.
In general, we want to take long trades in stocks with strengthening trends, and short trades in stocks with weakening trends. The user is free to change the moving averages based on their own short-term timeframe. Every trader is unique!
The same process is applied to calculate the long-term trend signal. We default to the 50D SMA as our fast moving average, and the 200D SMA as the slow moving average for the LT ⇅ signal calculation, but users can change these to fit their own unique trading style.
What is Stage 1?
Stage 1 identifies stocks that transitioned from downtrends, into bottoming bases.
Stage 1A - Bottom Signal: Marks the first day a security shows initial signs of recovery after a downtrend, with early indications of strength emerging.👇
Stage 1B - Bottoming Process: Identifies the ongoing phase where the security continues to stabilize and strengthen, confirming the base-building process after the initial signal.👇
Stage 1R - Failed Uptrend: Detects when a security that had entered an early uptrend loses momentum and slips back into a bottoming phase, signaling a failed breakout.👇
What is Stage 2?
Stage 2 identifies stocks that transitioned from bottoming bases to uptrends.
Stage 2A - Breakout: Marks the first day a security decisively breaks out, signaling the start of a new uptrend.👇
Stage 2B - Uptrend: Identifies when the security continues to trade in an established uptrend following the initial breakout, with momentum building but not yet showing full strength.👇
Stage 2C - Strong Uptrend: Detects when the uptrend strengthens further, with the security displaying clear signs of accelerating strength and buying pressure.👇
Stage 2R - Failed Breakdown: Detects when a security that had recently entered a corrective phase reverses course and reclaims its upward trajectory, moving back into an uptrend.👇
What is Stage 3?
Stage 3 identifies stocks that transitioned from uptrends to topping bases.
Stage 3A - Top Signal: Marks the first day a security shows initial signs of weakness after an uptrend, indicating the start of a potential topping phase.👇
Stage 3B - Topping Process: Identifies the period following the initial signal when the security continues to show signs of distribution and potential trend exhaustion.👇
Stage 3R - Failed Breakdown: Detects when a security that had entered a deeper corrective phase reverses upward, recovering enough strength to re-enter the topping phase.👇
What is Stage 4?
Stage 4 identifies stocks that transitioned from topping bases to downtrends.
Stage 4A - Breakdown: Marks the first day a security decisively breaks below key support levels, signaling the start of a new downward trend.👇
Stage 4B - Downtrend: Identifies when the security continues to trend lower following the initial breakdown, with sustained bearish momentum, though not yet fully entrenched.👇
Stage 4C - Strong Downtrend: Detects when the downtrend intensifies, with the security displaying clear signs of accelerating weakness and selling pressure.👇
Stage 4R - Failed Bottom: Detects when a security that had begun to show early signs of bottoming reverses course and resumes its decline, falling back into a downtrend.👇
Stage N/A - Recent IPO: Applies to stocks that recently IPO’ed and don’t have enough data to calculate all necessary moving averages.

Mongoose Conflict Risk Radar v1.1 (Separate Panel) description
The Mongoose Capital: Risk Rotation Index is a macro market sentiment tool designed to detect elevated risk conditions by aggregating signals across key asset classes.
This script evaluates trend strength across 8 ETFs representing major risk-on and risk-off flows:
GLD – Gold
VIXY – Volatility
TLT – Long-Term Bonds
SPY – S&P 500
UUP – U.S. Dollar Index
EEM – Emerging Markets
SLV – Silver
FXI – China Large-Cap
Each asset is assigned a binary signal based on price position vs. its 21-period SMA (or a crossover for bonds). The signals are then totaled into a composite Risk Rotation Score, plotted as a bar graph.
How to Use
0–2 = Low risk-on behavior
3–4 = Caution / Mixed regime
5–8 = Elevated conflict or macro stress
Use this as a macro confirmation layer for trend entries, risk reduction, or allocation shifts.
Alerts
Set alerts when the index exceeds 5 to track major rotations into defensive assets.
Velocity + Momentum (SMA-Based)Velocity + Momentum (SMA-Based) is a clean, powerful oscillator that measures price acceleration using SMA-derived velocity and dual momentum signals. This tool is ideal for identifying directional shifts, exhaustion points, and early entries across any market or timeframe.
How It Works:
This indicator calculates velocity as the distance between the current close and a simple moving average of the open price. Then, it applies two smoothed moving averages to this velocity line:
• Internal Momentum (shorter-term smoothing)
• External Momentum (longer-term context, hidden by default)
The result is a layered view of how fast price is moving and whether that move is gaining or losing strength.
How to Use:
• The green/red histogram shows current velocity (positive = bullish, negative = bearish)
• The teal/maroon line tracks internal momentum and provides short-term signal turns
• The black/gray (hidden) line reflects external momentum and supports broader trend alignment
• Watch for crosses above/below the zero line for confirmation of directional strength
• Use the built-in alerts to catch real-time shifts in all three layers of movement: velocity, internal, and external
Why It's Useful:
• Detects subtle transitions before price structure changes
• Helps filter out noise by comparing short-term vs long-term motion
• Ideal for scalpers, swing traders, and trend-followers alike
• Pairs well with structure-based tools or price action zones
• Works on any asset and timeframe
This indicator simplifies momentum analysis by giving you actionable, multi-layered feedback on how price is accelerating — and when that’s likely to reverse.

Short Volume % of Total VolumeShort Volume % of Total Volume
This indicator plots the daily short volume as a percentage of total volume for a specific U.S. stock. The short volume is sourced from FINRA’s reported short sale data and is compared against the stock’s total trading volume for the same day.
📊 Use Cases:
Monitor short-selling pressure over time.
Identify spikes in short volume % that may signal increased bearish positioning.
Use in conjunction with price action to gauge sentiment shifts or potential short squeezes.
⚠️ Note: FINRA data reflects activity from FINRA-regulated trading venues only and may not represent full market-wide short activity.
Open Interest Footprint IQ [TradingIQ]Hello Traders!
Th e Open Interest Footprint IQ indicator is an advanced visualization tool designed for cryptocurrency markets. It provides a granular, real-time breakdown of open interest changes across different price levels, allowing traders to see how aggressive market participation is distributed within each bar.
Unlike standard footprint charts that rely solely on volume, this indicator offers unique insights by focusing on the interaction between price action and changes in open interest (OI) — a leading metric often used to infer trader intent and positioning.
How it works
The Open Interest Footprint IQ processes lower timeframe price and open interest data to build a footprint-style chart that shows how traders are positioning themselves within each candle.
Here’s a breakdown of the process:
1. Granular OI & Price Sampling
The script retrieves lower-timeframe data (1-minute, 1-second, or 1-tick, based on your setting).
For each candle, it captures:
High and low prices
Price change direction
Change in open interest (OI)
2. Classifying Trader Behavior
For each lower-timeframe segment, the indicator determines the type of positioning occurring based on price movement and OI change:
If price is moving up and open interest is increasing, it suggests that long positions are being opened. This is considered a "Longs Opening" event, labeled as UU (Up/Up).
If price is moving up but open interest is decreasing, it indicates that short positions are being closed. This is referred to as UD (Up/Down), or "Shorts Closing."
If price is moving down and open interest is increasing, it signals that short positions are being opened. This is known as DU (Down/Up), or "Shorts Opening."
If price is moving down while open interest is also decreasing, it means that long positions are being closed. This is labeled as DD (Down/Down), or "Longs Closing."
These are stored in separate arrays and displayed at specific price levels.
It is particularly useful for identifying:
Where longs or shorts are opening/closing positions
Stacked imbalances (indicative of potential absorption or exhaustion)
Value area zones and POC (Point of Control) based on OI, not volume
This footprint runs on your choice of sub-bar granularity and is ideal for high-frequency trading, scalping, and entries based on order flow dynamics.
Key Features
Footprint Visualization
At each price level within a candle:
Long/short opening and closing behavior is broken down.
Delta (net open interest change) is displayed both numerically and color-coded.
Optional gradient coloring shows intensity and type of flow (longs/shorts opened/closed).
Cumulative or per-bar reset modes allow you to track OI evolution over time.
The image above explains the information that each Footprint box shows across a candlestick!
Each footprint box shows:
OI Delta
OI Delta %
Longs Opened (LO)
Longs Closed (LC)
Shorts Opened (SO)
Shorts Closed (SC)
The image above explains the color-coding feature of the indicator.
Boxes are color coded to show which position action
dominated at the price area.
For this example:
Green boxes = Long positions being opened dominated
Purple boxes = Long positions being closed dominated
Red boxes = Short positions being opened dominated
Yellow boxes = Short positions being closed dominated
All colors are customizable.
Additionally, for traders who are only interested in whether OI increased/decreased, a "two-color" option is available in the settings.
For the two-color option, footprint boxes can be one of two colors. Showing whether OI increased or decreased at the level.
Cumulative Levels
Open Interest Footprint IQ contains a "Cumulative Levels" feature that tracks/stores open interest change at tick levels over time, rather than resetting per bar.
With the "Cumulative Levels" feature enabled, traders can see open interest changes persist across all candlesticks. This feature is useful for determining whether longs opening, longs closing, shorts opening, or shorts closing are dominating at particular price areas over time rather than on a single bar.
A useful feature to see if shorts/longs are favoring certain price throughout the day, week, month, etc.
Input Settings Explained
Granularity (Dropdown: Granularity)
Options: 1-Minute, 1-Second, 1-Tick
Determines how finely the script samples the lower timeframe data to construct the footprint.
For precision:
1-Tick = Highest accuracy, but more resource-intensive.
1-Second/1-Minute = Suitable for broader or more zoomed-out analysis.
Tick Level Distance (Tick Level Distance (0 = Auto))
Defines the vertical spacing between levels in the footprint chart.
If 0, the script uses an automatic calculation based on ATR to adapt to volatility.
Set a manual value (e.g., 5) to control the height granularity of each level in ticks.
Cumulative Levels (Toggle)
If enabled, the footprint builds cumulatively over time, rather than resetting per candle.
Use case: Visualize ongoing buildup of OI activity across a session or day.
Cumulative Levels Reset TF (Timeframe)
Sets the reset interval for the cumulative view (e.g., reset daily, hourly, etc.)
Works only when Cumulative Levels is enabled.
Delta Box Display Settings
Show Delta Percentage
Toggles the display of the percentage change in OI across the footprint level.
Helpful to gauge how aggressive positioning is relative to total OI at that level.
Show Longs/Shorts (Opened/Closed)
Show Longs Opened: Displays OI increase in up candles (price ↑, OI ↑).
Show Longs Closed: Displays OI decrease in down candles (price ↓, OI ↓).
Show Shorts Opened: OI increase in down candles (price ↓, OI ↑).
Show Shorts Closed: OI decrease in up candles (price ↑, OI ↓).
These behaviors are color-coded to give traders instant context:
Blue-green for longs opening.
Purple for longs closing.
Red for shorts opening.
Yellow for shorts closing.
Value Area & POC
Value Area % (Value Area %)
Controls how much cumulative open interest is used to define the value area.
Example: 70% means the smallest range of prices that contains 70% of total OI in that bar will be marked.
Helps identify zones of interest, support/resistance, and institutional levels.
The image above explains how to identify the VAH/VAL/POC shown by Open Interest Footprint IQ.
VAH = Upper 🞂
POC = ●
VAL = Lower 🞂
Imbalances
Imbalance Percentage
Defines the minimum delta % required at a level to be marked as an imbalance.
If the net open interest change at a level exceeds this threshold, a visual marker appears.
Stacked Imbalance Count
If the number of consecutive imbalance levels meets this count, a “Stacked Imbalance” alert will trigger.
This can signal aggressive buying or selling pressure, potential breakout zones, or institutional absorption.
Color Settings
Longs Opened / Closed, Shorts Opened / Closed
Customize the color palette for each order flow behavior.
These colors appear in the background gradient of the footprint boxes.
Up/Down Only Mode
Toggle to override all behavior-based colors with a single Up Color and Down Color.
Useful if you prefer a simple bull/bear view.
Up Color / Down Color
If "Up/Down Only" is enabled, these two colors are used to represent all net positive or negative deltas.
Special Notes
Crypto only: This script works only with crypto tickers on TradingView.
For other assets (stocks, futures), a warning message will appear instead.
OI data must be available from the exchange (many perpetual pairs support this).
If the footprint is too small or invisible, increase your tick level spacing in the settings.
Alerts
When a stacked imbalance is detected, an alert is fired ("Stacked Imbalance").
This feature is useful for automated systems, bots, or simply staying informed of potential trade setups.
And that's all for now!

Initial balance - weeklyWeekly Initial Balance (IB) — Indicator Description
The Weekly Initial Balance (IB) is the price range (High–Low) established during the week’s first trading session (most commonly Monday). You can measure it over the entire day or just the first X hours (e.g. 60 or 120 minutes). Once that session ends, the IB High and IB Low define the key levels where the initial weekly range formed.
Why Measure the Weekly IB?
Week-Opening Sentiment:
Monday’s range often sets the tone for the rest of the week. Trading above the IB High signals bullish control; trading below the IB Low signals bearish control.
Key Liquidity Zones:
Large institutions tend to place orders around these extremes, so you’ll frequently see tests, breakouts, or rejections at these levels.
Support & Resistance:
The IB High and IB Low become natural barriers. Price will often return to them, bounce off them, or break through them—ideal spots for entries and exits.
Volatility Forecast:
The width of the IB (High minus Low) indicates whether to expect a volatile week (wide IB) or a quieter one (narrow IB).
Significance of IB Levels
Breakout:
A clear break above the IB High (for longs) or below the IB Low (for shorts) can ignite a strong trending move.
Fade:
A rejection off the IB High/Low during low momentum (e.g. low volume or pin-bar formations) offers a high-probability reversal trade.
Mid-Point:
The 50% level of the IB range often “magnetizes” price back to it, providing entry points for continuation or reversal strategies.
Three Core Monday IB Strategies
A. Breakout (Open-Range Breakout)
Entry: Wait for 1–2 candles (e.g. 5-minute) to close above IB High (long) or below IB Low (short).
Stop-Loss: A few pips below IB High (long) or above IB Low (short).
Profit-Target: 2–3× your risk (Reward:Risk ≥ 2:1).
Best When: You spot a clear impulse—such as a strong pre-open volume spike or news-driven move.
B. Fade (Reversal at Extremes)
Entry: When price tests IB High but shows weakening momentum (shrinking volume, upper-wick candles), enter short; vice versa for IB Low and longs.
Stop-Loss: Just beyond the IB extreme you’re fading.
Profit-Target: Back toward the IB mid-point (50% level) or all the way to the opposite IB extreme.
Best When: Monday’s action is range-bound and lacks a clear directional trend.
C. Mid-Point Trading
Entry: When price returns to the 50% level of the IB range.
In an up-trend: buy if it bounces off mid-point back toward IB High.
In a down-trend: sell if it reverses off mid-point back toward IB Low.
Stop-Loss: Just below the nearest swing-low (for longs) or above the nearest swing-high (for shorts).
Profit-Target: To the corresponding IB extreme (High or Low).
Best When: You see a strong initial move away from the IB, followed by a pullback to the mid-point.
Usage Steps
Configure your session: Measure IB over your chosen Monday timeframe (whole day or first X hours).
Choose your strategy: Align Breakout, Fade, or Mid-Point entries with the current market context (trend vs. range).
Manage risk: Keep risk per trade ≤ 1% of account and maintain at least a 2:1 Reward:Risk ratio.
Backtest & forward-test: Verify performance over multiple Mondays and in a paper-trading environment before going live.
RSI Divergence Pro+ VolumeRSI Divergence Pro+ Volume
What It Does:
RSI Divergence Pro+ Volume is a non-repainting indicator that helps traders spot potential bullish and bearish reversal zones using a classic technical analysis concept—RSI divergence—combined with advanced volume confirmation. The script highlights moments when price and RSI disagree, filtering for signals only when there is a significant volume spike, which helps reduce false positives in quiet or illiquid markets.
How It Works:
Bullish Divergence: Triggered when price makes a lower low but RSI forms a higher low, suggesting possible exhaustion in selling pressure.
Bearish Divergence: Triggered when price makes a higher high but RSI forms a lower high, signaling potential buying exhaustion.
Volume Confirmation: Signals only appear when trading volume exceeds a dynamic threshold (based on a user-defined moving average and multiplier), making alerts more reliable.
Visual Features: Customizable labels and optional gradient highlights mark the exact bars where divergence with volume confirmation occurs, making signals easy to see.
Alert System: Built-in alerts for both bullish and bearish divergences so traders can receive instant notifications.
How to Use:
Apply the script to any timeframe or liquid asset (15m–4H recommended for best results).
Watch for green “BULL↑” labels below bars (bullish divergence) and red “BEAR↓” labels above bars (bearish divergence).
Blue/violet background highlights confirm volume-verified signals.
Combine with your own risk management and confirmation tools for trade entries/exits.
Adjust lookback and volume settings to match your asset and style.
Originality & Usefulness:
This indicator stands out by combining traditional RSI divergence with advanced volume filtering, giving more credible and actionable reversal alerts. All logic is non-repainting and calculated on closed bars only. Settings are fully grouped and customizable, with professional visuals for clarity.
Limitations & Disclaimers:
Not every divergence results in a major reversal—use with other analysis.
More effective in trending or volatile markets; may produce more false signals in choppy/range conditions.
Signals are generated on bar close and do not repaint.
No indicator is a substitute for proper trading discipline and risk management.
Rapid ICT Suite - MTF Concepts & iFVGTitle: Rapid ICT Suite - MTF Concepts & iFVG
Overview
Unlock a new level of market analysis with the Rapid ICT Suite, a comprehensive, all-in-one indicator designed for the discerning price action trader. This powerful tool merges two distinct analytical engines into one seamless experience, allowing you to overlay critical Higher Timeframe (HTF) market structure onto your current chart while simultaneously tracking real-time Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) and their inversions (iFVGs).
Whether you are a scalper needing to respect 1H structure, a day trader aligning with the 4H bias, or a swing trader mapping the daily trend, this indicator provides the clarity and context you need to make higher-probability trading decisions. It was built from the ground up to solve common issues traders face, delivering stable, precise, and flexible analysis.
The Strategy: Targeting IRL with iFVG Entries
The Destination (The "Why"): Internal Range Liquidity (IRL)
On a Higher Timeframe (HTF), we will identify major Internal Range Liquidity (IRL) zones. In the context of ICT, IRL simply refers to unmitigated Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) that exist within a broader trading range.
These HTF FVGs act as powerful magnets for price. The market will often seek out these zones to rebalance before continuing its next major move. By plotting these on our chart, we establish a clear directional bias and a high-probability target. Our indicator will now label these HTF FVG boxes as "IRL".
The Entry Signal (The "How"): Inverted Fair Value Gaps (iFVG)
Once we have our HTF IRL target, we drop down to our Lower Timeframe (LTF) for execution.
We wait for price to create an Inverted Fair Value Gap (iFVG). An iFVG is a regular FVG that has failed and been traded through, signifying a shift in momentum.
An iFVG appearing on the LTF provides a high-precision entry signal to take a trade in the direction of the HTF IRL zone. It's our confirmation that the market is likely now making its move towards that destination.
Key Features
Multi-Timeframe Order Blocks (Boxes): Automatically identify and plot key HTF demand and supply zones (Order Blocks) onto your chart.
Multi-Timeframe Fair Value Gaps (Boxes): See where HTF imbalances exist, giving you a clear map of institutional reference points and potential targets.
Multi-Timeframe Liquidity Pools (Boxes): Pinpoint where buy-side and sell-side liquidity is likely resting, based on clusters of old highs and lows.
Current Timeframe FVG & iFVG (Lines/Labels): A second, independent engine tracks FVGs on your chosen timeframe, monitors them for mitigation, and automatically identifies when an FVG has been inverted (iFVG), a crucial shift in market dynamics.
The "Rapid" Advantage: Solving Trader Frustrations
This indicator was engineered to overcome three of the most common problems with technical indicators:
1. ✅ No More Flickering or "Ghost" Signals
The Problem: Many indicators show signals on the live, forming candle. This causes zones or signals to appear and disappear ("flicker"), leading to confusion and false entries.
The Solution: The Rapid ICT Suite uses 100% confirmed, closed-candle data for all its calculations (OB, FVG, and Liquidity). A zone will only appear on your chart after the price action that confirms it is complete. This means every signal is stable, reliable, and non-repainting.
2. ✅ Frame-Perfect, Precise Placement
The Problem: Indicators that use lookback logic often draw their signals one candle too late, causing a visual disconnect between the price pattern and the signal itself.
The Solution: We have corrected this common flaw. Every box and line is drawn starting from the exact confirmation candle of the pattern. This frame-perfect precision is critical for accurate analysis and planning your entries.
3. ✅ The Dual Analysis Engine: Uncluttered & Flexible
The Problem: Trying to analyze multiple timeframes at once can lead to cluttered charts and mental overload .
The Solution: This suite contains two independent parts that you can control separately.
Part 1 gives you the macro context—the HTF structure where big moves originate.
Part 2 gives you the micro details—the real-time FVG and iFVG story on your trading timeframe.
Use them together for a complete picture, or toggle one off to focus on a specific aspect of your strategy. This flexibility keeps your workspace clean and your analysis sharp.
How to Use & Settings Explained
The indicator settings are neatly organized into two main parts.
Part 1: MTF Concepts (OB, FVG, Liq)
This section controls the Higher Timeframe boxes that are overlaid onto your current chart.
Higher-TF for OB/FVG/Liq: This is the most important setting. Select the higher timeframe you want to analyze. For example, if you are trading on the 15-minute chart, you might set this to 240 (4-Hour) to see the key 4H zones.
Show Order-Blocks / FVGs / Liquidity: Simple toggles to turn each type of HTF zone on or off.
Max... Count: Controls how many of the most recent zones are displayed on the chart, preventing clutter from old, irrelevant zones.
Part 2: FVG & iFVG (Lines/Labels)
This section controls the second engine, which analyzes FVGs and iFVGs on its own selected timeframe.
Timeframe for FVG/iFVG: Choose the timeframe for this analysis. You can leave it blank to use your current chart's timeframe, or set it to a specific one.
Mitigation Type & Mitigation %: A powerful feature to define when an FVG is considered "used up."
Type: Choose if mitigation is counted from the candle's Wick or Close.
Percent: Set how far price must retrace into an FVG (e.g., 50%) before it is considered mitigated and the lines are removed from your chart.
FVG/iFVG Count: Controls how many of the most recent FVG/iFVG zones are displayed.
Style & Color Settings: Fully customize the appearance of the lines and labels to match your chart theme.
Final Words
This indicator was built to provide actionable clarity. By understanding the interplay between higher-timeframe structure and current price action, you can significantly enhance your trading edge. Thank you for choosing the Rapid ICT Suite.
Happy trading!
Deviation Rate From Dynamic MAThis indicator does the following; starting from the first bar (including the first bar) it calculates the average of the closings of the following bars, until the closing of a bar reaches the average. If the price has returned to the average, the starting bar for the average calculation is reset, that is, it starts calculating the average again from the bar where the return to the average (intersection) occurred.
If the deviation is greater than the entered percentage value (3% by default), it shows the deviation rate for each bar on the chart with a label. The color of the label text is shown as darker as the deviation rate increases, and more transparent as it decreases. You can change these settings according to your own preferences from the codes. You can create alarm conditions such as "If the deviation rate from the average is greater than x" to enter the transaction.

## Continuous Position Signals Implementation
The LongShortExit strategy can be enhanced with continuous position signals to provide visual feedback about the current position state. These signals can help you track when the strategy is in a long or short position.
### Adding Continuous Position Signals
Add the following code to implement continuous position signals (0 to 1):
```pine
// Continuous position signals (0 to 1)
var float longSignal = 0.0
var float shortSignal = 0.0
// Update position signals based on your indicator's conditions
longSignal := longCondition ? 1.0 : 0.0
shortSignal := shortCondition ? 1.0 : 0.0
// Plot continuous signals
plot(longSignal, title="Long Signal", color=#00FF00, linewidth=2, transp=0, style=plot.style_line)
plot(shortSignal, title="Short Signal", color=#FF0000, linewidth=2, transp=0, style=plot.style_line)
```
### Benefits of Continuous Position Signals
- Provides clear visual feedback of current position state (long/short)
- Signal values stay consistent (0 or 1) until condition changes
- Can be used for additional calculations or alert conditions
- Makes it easier to track when entry conditions are triggered
### Using with Custom Indicators
You can adapt the continuous position signals to work with any custom indicator by replacing the condition with your indicator's logic:
```pine
// Example with moving average crossover
longSignal := fastMA > slowMA ? 1.0 : 0.0
shortSignal := fastMA < slowMA ? 1.0 : 0.0
```
## Webhook Integration
The LongShortExit strategy is fully compatible with TradingView's webhook alerts, allowing you to connect your strategy to external trading platforms, brokers, or custom applications for automated trading execution.
### Setting Up Webhooks
1. Create an alert on your chart with the LongShortExit strategy
2. Enable the "Webhook URL" option in the alert dialog
3. Enter your webhook endpoint URL (from your broker or custom trading system)
4. Customize the alert message with relevant information using TradingView variables
### Webhook Message Format Example
```json
{
"strategy": "LongShortExit",
"action": "{{strategy.order.action}}",
"price": "{{strategy.order.price}}",
"quantity": "{{strategy.position_size}}",
"time": "{{time}}",
"ticker": "{{ticker}}",
"position_size": "{{strategy.position_size}}",
"position_value": "{{strategy.position_value}}",
"order_id": "{{strategy.order.id}}",
"order_comment": "{{strategy.order.comment}}"
}
```
### TradingView Alert Condition Examples
For effective webhook automation, set up these alert conditions:
#### Entry Alert
```
{{strategy.position_size}} != {{strategy.position_size}}
```
#### Exit Alert
```
{{strategy.position_size}} < {{strategy.position_size}} or {{strategy.position_size}} > {{strategy.position_size}}
```
#### Partial Take Profit Alert
```
strategy.order.comment contains "Partial TP"
```
### Benefits of Webhook Integration
- **Automated Trading**: Execute trades automatically through supported brokers
- **Cross-Platform**: Connect to custom trading bots and applications
- **Real-Time Notifications**: Receive trade signals on external platforms
- **Data Collection**: Log trade data for further analysis
- **Custom Order Management**: Implement advanced order types not available in TradingView
### Compatible External Applications

- Log all webhook activities for troubleshooting and performance tracking
## Strategy Customization Tips
### For Scalping
- Set smaller profit targets (1-3 points)
- Use tighter stop-losses
- Enable break-even feature after small profit
- Set higher max trades per day
### For Day Trading
- Use moderate profit targets
- Implement partial profit taking
- Enable trailing stops
- Set reasonable session trading hours
### For Swing Trading
- Use longer-term charts
- Set wider stops (ATR-based often works well)
- Use higher profit targets
- Disable daily streak reset
## Common Troubleshooting
### Low Win Rate
- Consider widening stop-losses
- Verify that entry conditions aren't triggering too frequently
- Check if the equals condition is too restrictive; consider small tolerances
### Missing Obvious Trades
- The equals condition is extremely precise. Price must exactly match the specified value.
- Consider using floating-point precision for more reliable triggers
### Frequent Stop-Outs
- Try ATR-based stops instead of fixed points
- Increase the stop-loss distance
- Enable break-even feature to protect profits
## Important Notes
- The exact equals condition is strict and may result in fewer trade signals compared to other conditions.
- For instruments with decimal prices, exact equality might be rare. Consider the precision of your value.
- Break-even and trailing stop calculations are based on points, not percentage.
- Partial take-profit levels are defined in points distance from entry.
- The continuous position signals (0 to 1) provide valuable visual feedback but don't affect the strategy's trading logic directly.
- When implementing continuous signals, ensure they're aligned with the actual entry conditions used by the strategy.

Ticker Pulse Meter BasicPairs nicely with the Contrarian 100 MA located here:
and the Enhanced Stock Ticker with 50MA vs 200MA located here:
Description
The Ticker Pulse Meter Basic is a dynamic Pine Script v6 indicator designed to provide traders with a visual representation of a stock’s price position relative to its short-term and long-term ranges, enabling clear entry and exit signals for long-only trading strategies. By calculating three normalized metrics—Percent Above Long & Above Short, Percent Above Long & Below Short, and Percent Below Long & Below Short—this indicator offers a unique "pulse" of market sentiment, plotted as stacked area charts in a separate pane. With customizable lookback periods, thresholds, and signal plotting options, it empowers traders to identify optimal entry points and profit-taking levels. The indicator leverages Pine Script’s force_overlay feature to plot signals on either the main price chart or the indicator pane, making it versatile for various trading styles.
Key Features
Pulse Meter Metrics:
Computes three percentages based on short-term (default: 50 bars) and long-term (default: 200 bars) lookback periods:
Percent Above Long & Above Short: Measures price strength when above both short and long ranges (green area).
Percent Above Long & Below Short: Indicates mixed momentum (orange area).
Percent Below Long & Below Short: Signals weakness when below both ranges (red area).
Flexible Signal Plotting:
Toggle between plotting entry (blue dots) and exit (white dots) signals on the main price chart (location.abovebar/belowbar) or in the indicator pane (location.top/bottom) using the Plot Signals on Main Chart option.
Entry/Exit Logic:
Long Entry: Triggered when Percent Above Long & Above Short crosses above the high threshold (default: 20%) and Percent Below Long & Below Short is below the low threshold (default: 40%).
Long Exit: Triggered when Percent Above Long & Above Short crosses above the profit-taking level (default: 95%).
Visual Enhancements:
Plots stacked area charts with semi-transparent colors (green, orange, red) for intuitive trend analysis.
Displays threshold lines for entry (high/low) and profit-taking levels.
Includes a ticker and timeframe table in the top-right corner for quick reference.
Alert Conditions: Supports alerts for long entry and exit signals, integrable with TradingView’s alert system for automated trading.
Technical Innovation: Combines normalized price metrics with Pine Script v6’s force_overlay for seamless signal integration on the price chart or indicator pane.
Technical Details
Calculation Logic:
Uses confirmed bars (barstate.isconfirmed) to calculate metrics, ensuring reliability.
Short-term percentage: (close - lowest(low, lookback_short)) / (highest(high, lookback_short) - lowest(low, lookback_short)).
Long-term percentage: (close - lowest(low, lookback_long)) / (highest(high, lookback_long) - lowest(low, lookback_long)).
Derived metrics:
pct_above_long_above_short = (pct_above_long * pct_above_short) * 100.
pct_above_long_below_short = (pct_above_long * (1 - pct_above_short)) * 100.
pct_below_long_below_short = ((1 - pct_above_long) * (1 - pct_above_short)) * 100.
Signal Plotting:
Entry signals (long_entry) use ta.crossover to detect when pct_above_long_above_short crosses above entryThresholdhigh and pct_below_long_below_short is below entryThresholdlow.
Exit signals (long_exit) use ta.crossover for pct_above_long_above_short crossing above profitTake.
Signals are plotted as tiny circles with force_overlay=true for main chart or standard plotting for the indicator pane.
Performance Considerations: Optimized for efficiency by calculating metrics only on confirmed bars and using lightweight plotting functions.
How to Use
Add to Chart:
Copy the script into TradingView’s Pine Editor and apply it to your chart.
Configure Settings:
Short Lookback Period: Adjust the short-term lookback (default: 50 bars) for sensitivity.
Long Lookback Period: Set the long-term lookback (default: 200 bars) for broader context.
Entry Thresholds: Modify high (default: 20%) and low (default: 40%) thresholds for entry conditions.
Profit Take Level: Set the exit threshold (default: 95%) for profit-taking.
Plot Signals on Main Chart: Check to display signals on the price chart; uncheck for the indicator pane.
Interpret Signals:
Long Entry: Blue dots indicate a strong bullish setup when price is high relative to both lookback ranges and weakness is low.
Long Exit: White dots signal profit-taking when strength reaches overbought levels.
Use the stacked area charts to assess trend strength and momentum.
Set Alerts:
Create alerts for Long Entry and Long Exit conditions using TradingView’s alert system.
Customize Visuals:
Adjust colors and thresholds via TradingView’s settings for better visibility.
The ticker table displays the symbol and timeframe in the top-right corner.
Example Use Cases
Swing Trading: Use entry signals to capture short-term bullish moves within a broader uptrend, exiting at profit-taking levels.
Trend Confirmation: Monitor the green area (Percent Above Long & Above Short) for sustained bullish momentum.
Market Sentiment Analysis: Use the stacked areas to gauge bullish vs. bearish sentiment across timeframes.
Notes
Testing: Backtest the indicator on your chosen market and timeframe to validate its effectiveness.
Compatibility: Built for Pine Script v6 and tested on TradingView as of June 20, 2025.
Limitations: Signals are long-only; adapt the script for short strategies if needed.
Enhancements: Consider adding a histogram for the difference between metrics or additional thresholds for nuanced trading.

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.

Tick Tack by TradeSeekers"Tick Tack" is a unique first of it's kind attempt at recreating market breadth index "TICK" for all sessions and all markets. Do not confuse this with tick charts.
Backstory
The fun aptly named "Tick Tack" has similar visuals to a market breadth indicator I created, MIT (Market Internal Trend) . For comparative demonstrations it has been included in the publication chart but is not required for Tick Tack usage.
MIT centers on the "TICK" index in a unique bias colored histogram display, where extreme high tick values indicate potential for buy side exhaustion, and inversely, extreme low tick values indicate potential for sell side exhaustion.
The issue with market breadth/internal data is the unavailability in non-RTH sessions, something this indicator resolves. Also TICK isn't available for crypto markets, non-US markets, etc. Tick Tack can be applied to virtually any market.
Neutral Range
Given that TICK index is a ratio and operates on a known range (~1000 +/-), many measures surrounding TICK are statically anchored.
When recreating the concept of TICK on an unbounded market, certain concessions had to be made, the first being the boundaries.
Tick Tack reads the market and creates a dynamic boundary for the "tick like" high and low extreme areas. That is the neutral range and is similarly colored to the MIT indicator.
Conventional trading wisdom indicates that TICK index values between 500 +/- are neutral/chop and have no edge.
Breaks
Any sufficiently high or low breaks beyond the neutral range are considered breaks and colored to indicate this event. Deviation calculations are used to indicate the strength level.
If a break of significant strength is detected, it'll be marked as "extreme" with color and a diamond plot, exactly like MIT.
"Tick" Trend
A simple SMA trend, like MIT, is made optionally available to show direction of the histogram measure.
"TRIN" Dots
TRIN, or "traders index", aims to present a numerical value indicating buy and sell sentiment. Intraday this index adjusts in realtime to market breadth price and volume advancement or decline with a publicly available formula for the entire market (NYSE typically).
Given that Tick Tack isn't making use of market breadth data, some creativity was employed here with a different take on the concept.
At times where measurement indicates directional movement, Tick Tack will display white dots at the histogram zero point, otherwise if balance is detected then the dots will be orange. If neither measure fires a detection, no dots will be displayed.
Usage
It's been primarily designed to emulate TICK index for intraday trading, scalping and similar.
Once sufficiently settled on directionality, range, etc. Utilize the histogram to find key break points to counter or join depending on market conditions.
Often times with TICK, the extreme breaks can be counter signals for quick mean reversion scalps.
Look for histogram and price action divergences for V signals near key pivots.
Tick Tack hasn't been tested nor designed for anything higher timeframe, but a benefit of this indicator vs TICK index is that it works on any timeframe with scaled resolution. It's entirely possible that this indicator has usefulness in higher timeframes.
Considerations
Tick Tack operates under the premise that mostly the market breadth will impact the market being charted and should provide a close approximation. If the charted market has low correlation to breadth then assume this TICK like display will have little to no similarity to the real TICK index (which may be acceptable).
Where Tick Tack and the TICK index will potentially see wide divergence will be near open of RTH. In many cases, with gaps in the NYSE or similar market breadth data, it will take some time for TICK index to catch up to current market conditions. Tick Tack will not suffer from this issue if utilizing extended session data and may provide a clearer picture.
Do note that Tick Tack is not claiming to present actual market breadth information and while it can be used for scalping, like TICK, I'm unsure it can be trusted for the same reasons as TICK.
Final Notes
I've received countless messages, questions and comments that my other market breadth tools be made available to extended sessions, non-US markets and crypto.
My thought process was that if I could create something that closely matched TICK index in regular trading hours, then perhaps it would provide similar indications and usefulness in extended session.

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.
