Price Reaction Analysis by Day of WeekOverview
The "Price Reaction Analysis by Day of Week" indicator is a tool that enables traders to analyze historical price reaction patterns to technical indicator signals on a selected day of the week. It examines price behavior on a chosen candle (from 1 to 30) in the next day or subsequent days after a signal, depending on the timeframe, and provides success rate statistics to support data-driven trading decisions. The indicator is optimized for timeframes up to 1 day (e.g., 1D, 12H, 8H, 6H, 4H, 1H, 15M), as the analysis relies on day-of-week comparisons. Lower timeframes generate more signals due to the higher number of candles per day.
Key Features
1. Flexible Technical Indicator Selection
Users can choose one of four technical indicators: RSI, SMI, MA, or Bollinger Bands. Each indicator has configurable parameters, such as:
RSI length, oversold/overbought levels.
SMI length, %K and %D smoothing, signal levels.
MA length.
Bollinger Bands length and multiplier.
2. Day-of-Week Analysis
The indicator allows users to select a day of the week (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday) for generating signals. It analyzes price reactions on a selected candle (from 1 to 30) in the next day or subsequent days after the signal. Examples:
On a daily timeframe, a signal on Monday can be analyzed for the first, fourth, or later candle (up to 30) in subsequent days (e.g., Tuesday, Wednesday).
On timeframes lower than 1 day (e.g., 12H, 8H, 6H, 4H, 1H, 15M), the analysis targets the selected candle in the next day or subsequent days. For example, on a 4H timeframe, you can analyze the second Tuesday candle following a Monday signal. The maximum timeframe is 1 day to ensure consistent day-of-week analysis.
3. Visual Signals
Signals for the analysis period are marked with background highlights in real-time when the indicator’s conditions are met. The last highlighted candle of the selected day is always analyzed. Arrows are displayed on the chart at the candle specified by the “Candles to Compare” setting (e.g., the first candle if set to 1):
Green upward triangles (below the candle) for successful buy signals (the closing price of the selected candle is higher than the signal candle’s close).
Red downward triangles (above the candle) for successful sell signals (the closing price of the selected candle is lower than the signal candle’s close).
Gray “x” marks for unsuccessful signals (no price reversal in the expected direction). Arrow positions are intuitive: buy signals below the candle, sell signals above. Highlights and arrows do not require waiting for future signals but are essential for calculating statistics.
Note: The first candle of the next day may appear shifted on the chart due to timezone differences, which can affect the timing of signal appearance.
4. Signal Conditions (Highlights) for Each Indicator
RSI: The oscillator is in oversold (buy) or overbought (sell) zones.
SMI: SMI returns from oversold (buy) or overbought (sell) zones.
MA: Price crosses the MA (upward for buy, downward for sell).
Bollinger Bands: Price returns inside the bands (from below for buy, from above for sell).
5. Success Rate Statistics
A table in the top-right corner of the chart displays:
The number of buy and sell signals for the selected day of the week.
The percentage of cases where the price of the selected candle in the next day or subsequent days reversed as expected (e.g., rising after a buy signal). Statistics are based on comparing the closing price of the signal candle with the closing price of the selected candle (e.g., first, fourth) in the next day or subsequent days.
Important: Statistics do not account for price movements within the candle or after its close. The price on the selected candle (e.g., fourth) may be lower than earlier candles but still higher than the signal candle, counting as a positive buy signal, though it does not guarantee profit.
6. Date Range
Users can specify the analysis date range, enabling strategy testing on historical data from a chosen period. Ensure the start and end dates are set correctly.
Applications
The indicator is designed for traders who want to leverage historical patterns for position planning. Examples:
On a 4-hour timeframe: If a sell signal highlight appears on Monday and statistics show an 80% chance that the fourth Tuesday candle is bearish, traders may consider playing a correction at the open of that candle.
On a daily timeframe: If a highlight indicates market overheating, traders may consider entering a position at the open of the first candle after the signal (e.g., Tuesday), provided statistics suggest an edge. Users can analyze the signal on the first candle and check later candles to validate results, increasing confidence in consistent patterns.
Key Settings
Indicator Type: Choose between RSI, SMI, MA, or Bollinger Bands.
Selected Day: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday.
Candles to Compare: The number of the candle in the next day or subsequent days (from 1 to 30).
Indicator Parameters: Lengths, levels (e.g., oversold/overbought for RSI).
Background Colors: Configurable highlights for buy and sell signals.
Notes
Timeframes: The indicator is optimized for timeframes up to 1 day (e.g., 1D, 12H, 8H, 6H, 4H, 1H, 15M), as the analysis relies on day-of-week patterns. Timeframes lower than 1 day generate more signals due to the higher number of candles per day.
Candle Shift: The first candle of the next day may appear shifted on the chart due to timezone differences, affecting the timing of signals across markets or platforms.
Statistical Limitations: Results are based on the closing prices of the selected candle, ignoring fluctuations in earlier candles, within the candle, or subsequent price movements. Traders must assess whether entering at the open or after the close of the selected candle is profitable.
Testing: Effectiveness depends on historical data and parameter settings. Testing different configurations across markets and timeframes is recommended.
Who Is It For?
Swing and position traders who base decisions on technical analysis and historical patterns.
Market analysts seeking patterns in price behavior by day of the week.
TradingView users of all experience levels, thanks to an intuitive interface and flexible settings.
Statistics
NQ Hourly Stats - Detailed Prob (24h)Hourly Sweep Statistics - Probability Engine (Credits to nqstats.com)
Overview
This indicator is a powerful statistical tool designed for intraday traders, particularly those focused on session-based patterns and mean reversion strategies. It automatically tracks the previous hour's high, low, and open, and when a sweep of the high or low occurs, it instantly displays the historical probability of the price returning to the hourly open within that same hour.
The core of this indicator is a comprehensive probability model built on historical price data, providing traders with an objective, data-driven edge.
Key Concepts
The indicator operates on a simple but effective premise: after the high or low of the previous hour is taken, what is the statistical likelihood that price will revert back to the opening price of the current hour?
• Previous Hour High (PHH) & Previous Hour Low (PHL): These levels often act as key liquidity zones. A sweep of these levels can signify either a stop run before a reversal or the start of a strong continuation.
• Return to Open: This is a classic mean-reversion concept. The indicator quantifies the probability of this event happening based on the exact time the sweep occurs.
• Time-Based Probability: The probability of returning to the open is not static; it changes depending on when the sweep happens. A sweep in the first 5 minutes of the hour has a different statistical outcome than a sweep in the last 5 minutes. This indicator accounts for that variance by breaking down the hour into 12 distinct 5-minute buckets.
How It Works
1. Automatic Level Plotting: At the start of each new hour, the indicator automatically draws three lines on your chart:
o The Previous Hour's High (Teal, solid line)
o The Previous Hour's Low (Maroon, solid line)
o The Current Hour's Open (Gray, dotted line)
2. Sweep Detection & Labeling: The script constantly monitors price action. The moment the current price action sweeps (touches or breaks) the PHH or PHL, a label appears.
o High Sweep: A label will appear above the PHH line.
o Low Sweep: A label will appear below the PHL line.
3. Information-Rich Labels: Each label provides crucial, real-time information:
o Direction: "Took PHH" or "Took PHL".
o Time: The exact time (@ HH:MM) the sweep occurred.
o Probability: The historical probability ("Prob to Open: XX.XX%") of price returning to the hourly open after that specific sweep.
4. Dynamic Color-Coding: The labels are color-coded for at-a-glance interpretation:
o Green: High probability (>70%) - Strong statistical likelihood of returning to the open.
o Orange: Medium probability (40%-70%) - Neutral/moderate likelihood.
o Red: Low probability (<40%) - Weak statistical likelihood of returning to the open; may suggest trend continuation.
How to Use in Your Trading
This indicator is not a standalone signal generator but a powerful confluence tool to enhance your decision-making.
• Mean Reversion Setups: When a sweep occurs and a high-probability (green) label appears, it can serve as strong confirmation for a mean-reversion trade. You can look for entries on a lower timeframe, targeting the hourly open.
• Trend Continuation Setups: If a sweep generates a low-probability (red) label, it suggests that the move has strength and is less likely to reverse. This can be used to validate a breakout or trend-following strategy, or to avoid taking a counter-trend trade.
• Filtering Trades: Use the probabilities to filter your existing setups. You might choose to only take reversion trades when the probability is above a certain threshold (e.g., 70%) or avoid them entirely when the probability is low.
Features & Customization
• Full 24-Hour Data: The statistical model includes data for all 24 hours of the day, making it useful for trading any session (Asia, London, New York).
• Timezone Setting: Ensure you set the Chart Timezone input to match your chart's timezone (e.g., 'America/New_York') for the probabilities to be accurate.
• Custom Colors: All line colors are fully customizable to match your chart's theme.
Disclaimer: This indicator is based on historical statistics and does not guarantee future results. It should be used as part of a comprehensive trading plan that includes proper risk management. Always do your own research and backtesting.
Icy-Hot Visual Indicator [SciQua]🧊 Icy-Hot Visual Indicator
This indicator colors your price bars and/or chart background based on a normalized & smoothed transform of any price-based input (default: close). It gives you a quick “temperature map” of market momentum or volatility—cool blues for low readings, hot reds for high readings—without cluttering your chart.
🔍 Key Features
1. Dual Visual Layers
Candle Gradient: Applies a smooth, multi-color gradient to candle bodies and wicks based on normalized, smoothed input data
Background Gradient: Adds a semi-transparent gradient behind the candles to highlight broader trend zones or volatility regimes
2. Advanced Customization
Normalization Types: bounded, unbounded, z-score, MAD, percentile, sigmoid, tanh, rank, robust, and more
Smoothing Methods: EMA, SMA, WMA, RMA, HMA, TEMA, VWMA, Gaussian, LinReg, ExpReg, and others (12+ options)
3. Gradient Control: Choose 2–7 color stops, reverse direction, adjust display length
Flexible Source Inputs
Use any built-in price series (close, hl2, volume, etc.)
Feed outputs from external indicators (RSI, custom oscillators, moving averages) into either layer
❓How It Works
Inputs are normalized (z-score, bounded, etc.) then smoothed (EMA, LinReg, etc.) in the order you choose. The result is clamped to 0–1 and passed through a multi-stop gradient engine for precise color mapping.
✨ What Makes It Original
While many indicators apply colors or smoothing, this script combines multi-stage normalization, adaptive smoothing, and a modular gradient rendering engine in a highly customizable dual-layer system. It’s built using proprietary functions from the SciQua suite that are not available in public libraries and allow for advanced visual encoding without relying on alerts, signals, or extra panes.
This makes it original in both design and execution—offering a visual-first approach with unique depth, clarity, and flexibility.
🔐 Why This Script Is Closed-Source
While the underlying functions are published in the open-source SciQua library, this indicator’s specific implementation, configuration architecture, and visual behavior are proprietary. It combines multiple library utilities into a dual-layer adaptive system that handles advanced gradient rendering, multi-stage normalization, and smoothing pipelines in a unique way.
The source is closed to protect the design logic, interface abstraction, and fine-tuned behaviors that make this indicator commercially valuable. The building blocks are open to the Pine community, but this assembled product is not meant for replication or redistribution.
How to Use It
1. Highlight Trend Strength
Source: RSI percentile
Setup: 200-bar look-back, mild smoothing
Result: Warm tones when momentum is peaking; cool when it’s fading. Use as a quick filter for entries in the direction of the trend.
2. Visualize Volatility Regimes
Source: ATR or True Range
Setup: Bounded normalization with tighter smoothing bar color off, bg color on.
Result: Background bands that shade when volatility spikes. Helps you avoid low-volatility breakouts or throttle position sizing in choppy markets.
3. Combine with Other Indicators
Source: Output of your custom indicator (e.g., a Keltner Band width)
Setup: Match normalization period to your strategy’s timeframe
Result: Bars colored by your own logic—no extra panes, just enhanced candles.
4. Background Only Heatmap
Turn off bar coloring and dial in semi-transparent background shades—keeps candles crisp while still giving you a context heat-map behind price.
long short ratioSummary
Transform your analysis with a clear view of the market's true engine: capital.
The Long/Short Ratio HUD is a visual analysis tool designed to offer an instant perspective on the battle between buyers and sellers. Unlike traditional volume indicators that only measure the quantity of assets traded, this HUD measures the actual monetary value (e.g., USD, USDT) flowing into the market, giving you a much more accurate reading of true sentiment and conviction.
This indicator is presented as a clean, non-intrusive Heads-Up Display (HUD) in a corner of your chart, allowing you to keep your workspace clear while receiving high-value information.
Key Features
Intuitive Sentiment Bar: Instantly visualize the percentage of dominance between buyers (green) and sellers (red) in the current timeframe.
True Monetary Volume: Calculations are not based on simple volume (number of shares or coins) but on quote volume (Volume x Price). Discover how much real capital is backing the bulls and bears.
Data Smoothing: It uses an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) to smooth the volume data, showing the trend in sentiment rather than the noise of a single candle.
Non-Intrusive HUD: Docks to your chosen corner, displaying essential information without cluttering your price action and analysis.
Smart Number Formatting: Large monetary volumes are automatically abbreviated (e.g., 2.1M for millions, 850K for thousands) for a quick and easy read.
Fully Customizable: Easily adjust the HUD's position and the EMA's length (sensitivity) to fit your trading style.
How It Works & How to Interpret It
The indicator analyzes each candle's structure (body and wicks) along with its monetary volume to determine the buying and selling pressure.
Sentiment Calculation:
A green candle with a large body and a high close indicates strong buying pressure.
A red candle with a large body and a low close indicates strong selling pressure.
Long wicks signify a battle; the indicator intelligently distributes the volume to reflect who won that intra-bar fight.
Practical Interpretation:
Clear Dominance (e.g., > 70% Green): Suggests strong control by buyers. Look for confirmation of a trend continuation.
Balance (~50%/50%) with High Monetary Volume: Indicates a major battle or an absorption phase. Although significant capital is being traded, there is no clear winner. This is a key signal to be alert for a potential reversal or consolidation.
Divergences: One of the most powerful signals. If the price is rising but the buying sentiment on the HUD is decreasing, it could indicate that the uptrend is losing capital momentum and is vulnerable to a correction.

Max Value Gap [MOT]📊 Max Value Gap — Intraday Fill Zones + Stats Dashboard
Max Value Gap is a real-time gap fill detection system that visualizes institutional-style intraday price inefficiencies on major indices like SPX and NDX. Built for scalpers and short-term traders, it helps identify prime reversal areas where price is likely to return — often within the same session.
This script tracks U.S. regular market hour gaps only (9:30 AM to 4:00 PM ET) and is designed for high-precision execution on the 1-minute chart.
🧠 What Is an SPX Intraday Gap?
An SPX intraday gap occurs when the market creates a void between candles due to rapid price movement — often following volatility spikes, liquidation breaks, or aggressive buyer/seller imbalances. These unfilled zones act like magnetic targets, drawing price back into them as liquidity rebalances.
Unlike overnight gaps, these are formed and resolved within the same session, making them ideal for intraday strategies.
🔍 Key Features
✅ 1. Automatic Gap Detection
Scans only during official U.S. equity market hours (9:30 AM – 4:00 PM EST)
Gap Up: A green candle opens above the previous high
Gap Down: A red candle opens below the previous low
Each valid gap is outlined using colored boxes:
🟩 Green Box = Gap Up
🟥 Red Box = Gap Down
📸 Image : Chart with both green and red boxes marking gaps on SPX.
✅ 2. Dynamic Gap Zone Tracking
Once a gap is identified, the box extends forward until price fills the zone
A gap is considered filled when:
Price trades back into the gap zone
For gap ups: price crosses below the bottom of the gap
For gap downs: price crosses above the top of the gap
Users have the option to auto-delete filled boxes for clarity
📸 Image: Chart with price re-entering and completing a gap fill with box extending only until that point.
✅ 3. Real-Time Statistics Table
Located in the bottom-right of your chart, the built-in dashboard shows:
Total gaps formed
Gaps filled intraday
Gaps filled same day
Percentages of successful fills
📸 Image: Picture of statistics table
This live table helps assess whether the current day’s gaps are behaving in line with historical probabilities — no guesswork required.
🔄 Futures Execution Strategy
While the gaps are plotted on the SPX (or index) chart, the actual trades are taken on MNQ, NQ, or ES, using the gap levels as entry targets.
Sample Trading Flow:
A gap down forms on SPX at 1:45 PM (EST)
Price starts showing reversal signs back toward the gap
Enter long MNQ or NQ targeting a move into the gap zone
Take profit once price fully fills the zone
Repeat throughout the session — trend or chop, gaps are a magnet
This method mirrors institutional mean reversion techniques, capitalizing on market inefficiencies without chasing momentum.
📸 SPX Gap Being Filled with Corresponding MNQ Move Overlay
✅ Best Practices
Works best during morning session volatility (9:30–11:30 AM ET)
Combine with reversal candles or momentum tools for high-quality entries
Avoid during low-volume lunch chop unless tracking larger gap zones
Use on SPX while executing trades on MNQ/NQ/ES

Boomerang Trading Indicator# Boomerang News Trading Indicator
## Overview
The Boomerang Trading Indicator is designed to identify potential reversal opportunities following major economic news releases. This indicator analyzes the initial market reaction to news events and provides visual cues for potential counter-trend trading opportunities based on Fibonacci retracement levels.
## How It Works
### News Event Detection
- Automatically detects major news release times (NFP, CPI, FOMC, etc.)
- Analyzes the first significant price movement following news releases
- Requires minimum candle size threshold to filter out weak reactions
### First Move Analysis
The indicator employs multiple analytical methods to determine the initial market direction:
**Simple Analysis (High Confidence):**
- When the news candle has ≥70% body-to-total ratio, uses straightforward bullish/bearish classification
**Advanced Analysis (Complex Cases):**
- Volume-weighted direction analysis
- Momentum and wick pattern analysis
- Market structure and gap analysis
- Weighted voting system combining all methods
### Entry Signal Generation
Based on the "boomerang" concept where markets often reverse after initial news reactions:
**For Bullish First Moves (Price Up Initially):**
- Generates SHORT entry signals when price retraces to 1.25-1.5 Fibonacci levels
- Visual: Red triangles above price bars
**For Bearish First Moves (Price Down Initially):**
- Generates LONG entry signals when price retraces to -0.25 to -0.5 Fibonacci levels
- Visual: Green triangles below price bars
## Key Features
### Visual Elements
- **Fibonacci Levels**: Displays key retracement levels based on the initial reaction range
- **Entry Zones**: Clear visual marking of optimal entry areas
- **Direction Arrows**: Shows the initial market reaction direction
- **Target Levels**: Displays profit target zones at 50% and 100% retracement levels
### Information Panel

- Producer Price Index (PPI) - Monthly, 8:30 AM ET
- Gross Domestic Product (GDP) - Quarterly, 8:30 AM ET
- FOMC Interest Rate Decisions - 8 times yearly, 2:00 PM ET
## Trading Strategy Framework
### Core Principle
Markets often overreact to news initially, then reverse toward more rational price levels. This "boomerang effect" creates short-term trading opportunities.
### Entry Strategy
1. Wait for significant initial reaction (>10 points minimum)
2. Identify the initial direction using multi-factor analysis
3. Trade opposite to the initial reaction when price reaches sweet spot zones
4. Use Fibonacci retracement levels as entry triggers
### Risk Management
- Always use appropriate position sizing
- Set stop losses beyond recent swing levels
- Consider market volatility and news importance
- Monitor for setup invalidation signals

Fractal Manipulation Projections [keypoems]Fractal Manipulation Projections 0-30 minutes
This study draws statistical hourly rails that help visualize how far price normally travels during the first half‑hour of each hour.
How it works
On the first bar of every clock hour (New York time) the script records the hourly open.
It then looks up the historical mean (μ) and standard deviations (σ) of (open - low for bearish| high - open for bullish candles) of the first 5 / 10 / 15 / 20 / 25 / 30‑minute candle that followed that open.
Lines are plotted at ±0.5 σ, ±1 σ and ±1.5 σ above and below the open; optional polylines or smooth curves can connect equal‑σ levels.
A small on‑chart table shows the current ±1.5 σ ranges for quick reference.
Data set
Pre‑computed distributions were built from 1‑minute CME Nasdaq‑100 futures (NQ1!) data:
2020‑present for all other hours (default).
2010‑present for the 02:00 hour (optional toggle).
No external data or HTTP requests are used; the script is fully self‑contained.
Inputs
Select which time‑slices (5 m … 30 m) and which σ levels to draw.
Choose straight or Catmull‑Rom curves, colors, line styles, and how many past hours (1‑6) remain visible.
Intended use
These projections do not predict direction or supply trade signals; they simply show where price would lie if it moved a typical ±σ distance from the hourly open. Use them as a contextual volatility gauge alongside your own strategy.
For educational purposes only. Nothing in this script constitutes financial advice. Past performance‑based statistics do not guarantee future results.
Micro Futures Contract Calculator Micro Futures Contract Calculator
Synopsis: The Micro Futures Contract Calculator is a sleek, minimalist indicator that calculates the number of Micro E-mini Nasdaq-100 (MNQ) or S&P 500 (MES) contracts you can trade based on a fixed dollar risk and stop-loss (in ticks). Displayed in a compact, professional table in the top-right corner, it shows your risk, stop-loss, contract type, and calculated contracts, helping traders maintain consistent risk management.
How to Use:
Add the indicator to your chart (search “Micro Futures Contract Calculator”).
In settings, input:
Maximum Risk ($): Your total risk per trade (e.g., $100).
Stop-Loss (Ticks): Stop-loss size in ticks (e.g., 20 ticks = 5 points).
Contract Type: Select MNQ or MES.
Check the top-right table for:
Risk, stop-loss, contract type, and number of contracts (e.g., “10” for MNQ, “4” for MES).
Use the contract number to size trades, ensuring risk stays fixed.
Why Standardized Risk is Important:
Consistency: Fixed risk per trade (e.g., $100) prevents oversized losses, stabilizing long-term performance.
Discipline: Removes emotional guesswork, enforcing a systematic approach across MNQ/MES trades.
Capital Protection: Limits exposure, preserving your account during losing streaks and volatile markets.
Scalability: Aligns position sizing with your risk tolerance, enabling confident scaling as your account grows.
This indicator simplifies risk management, making it essential for disciplined futures trading.

Price Range Retrace statisticks [HERMAN]📈 Price Range Retrace Stats
This indicator is designed to help traders quantify how often price retraces to a selected equilibrium level (e.g., 50%) after sweeping the high/low of a defined time-based range.
It is especially useful for modeling sessions such as the London Opening Range (e.g., 02:00–03:00 NY time), checking if price sweeps that range in a subsequent window (e.g., 03:00–04:00), and returns to its 50% level.
✅ What does it do?
Lets you define multiple time ranges (e.g. London, NY Open, custom ranges).
Draws the range box for the selected session time.
Calculates and plots the retracement level (default 50%).
Checks if price sweeps the high/low of the range before retracing.
Tracks success rate, average distance, sample size and displays these stats in a table.
⚙️ Key Features:
Fully customizable time windows (range box time and retracement check time).
-Configurable retracement % (default 50% equilibrium).
-Optional sweep condition (only count retracements if price sweeps the high/low first).
-Clean, theme-adaptive stats table with success rates and averages.
-Supports two independent levels (e.g. London and NY sessions).
📊 Why use it?
This tool turns session-based setups into statistical models:
Backtest session strategies over many days.
Quantify edge with % success over time.
Validate trading ideas with data.
Use probabilities instead of gut feeling.
Example insight you can track:
“Between 3–4 AM NY time, price swept the high/low of the 2–3 AM London Opening Range and returned to its 50% equilibrium level in 64% of 234 sessions.”
📌 Ideal for:
ICT concepts (Opening Range, Sweep, Equilibrium Return).
Algo developers wanting probabilities.
Anyone who wants data-driven confirmation for session range mean-reversion.
Instructions:
1️⃣ Enable the desired Price Range (1 or 2).
2️⃣ Set your Range Time (e.g. 02:00–03:00).
3️⃣ Set your Retracement Check Time (e.g. 03:00–04:00).
4️⃣ Choose retracement % (e.g. 50%).
5️⃣ Watch the box and retrace line plot on chart.
6️⃣ Review the success statistics in the table.
OI Bahavior MapThis indicator visualizes Open Interest (OI) changes for Binance Futures and highlights the behavior of market participants — whether takers or makers are opening or closing positions.
📊 Supported display modes:
• Taker or Maker
• Longs or Shorts
• Cumulative or Per-Bar
• Displayed in USD or Coins
💡 Each candle color reflects the dominant trade direction (delta):
🟢 Green = Aggressive buying (Delta Buy)
🔴 Red = Aggressive selling (Delta Sell)
OI direction (↑/↓) determines whether positions are being opened or closed.
🛠️ Optional metrics:
• Moving average of OI (SMA, EMA, WMA, VWMA, LSMA)
• Volatility channels (Bollinger Bands or Extremums)
⚙️ How it works:
• Fetches OI data from the SYMBOL_OI ticker (e.g., BTCUSDT_OI)
• Compares current OI with the previous bar
• Uses signed volume delta (close - open) to infer intent
• Classifies bar as open/close, long/short, taker/maker
• Displays the net effect as a colored candle on a secondary chart
🤔 How to interpret Taker and Maker?
• Taker: The aggressive participant who removes liquidity (initiates the trade)
• Maker: The passive participant who provides liquidity (places resting orders)
You can choose to display the same event from either the Taker or Maker perspective — the chart will look the same, but the interpretation changes.
🧠 Core Logic Mapping
```
🟢 Green: Taker Longs (Buy, OI↑) | Maker Shorts (Buy, OI↓)
🔴 Red: Taker Shorts (Sell, OI↑) | Maker Longs (Sell, OI↓)
```
⚠️ Limitations:
• Works only for Binance Futures
• Requires existence of SYMBOL_OI ticker on TradingView
• Represents approximate intent based on OI + volume behavior
💬 Open Source

• Классифицирует бар как открытие/закрытие, лонг/шорт, тейкер/мейкер
• Отображает итог в виде цветной свечи на дополнительном графике
🤔 Как интерпретировать Taker и Maker?
• Taker: Агрессивный участник, который изымает ликвидность (инициирует сделку)
• Maker: Пассивный участник, который создает ликвидность (выставляет лимитные заявки)
Вы можете выбрать отображение события с позиции тейкера или мейкера — график будет одинаковым, но смысл меняется.
🧠 Схема логики
```
🟢 Зеленый: Taker Longs (Покупка, OI↑) | Maker Shorts (Покупка, OI↓)
🔴 Красный: Taker Shorts (Продажа, OI↑) | Maker Longs (Продажа, OI↓)
```

Uptrick: Universal Z-Score ValuationOverview
The Uptrick: Universal Z-Score Valuation is a tool designed to help traders spot when the market might be overreacting—whether that’s on the upside or the downside. It does this by combining the Z-scores of multiple key indicators into a single average, letting you see how far the current market conditions have stretched away from “normal.” This average is shown as a smooth line, supported by color-coded visuals, signal markers, optional background highlights, and a live breakdown table that shows the contribution of each indicator in real time. The focus here is on spotting potential reversals, not following trends. The indicator works well across all timeframes and asset classes, from fast intraday charts like the 1-minute and 5-minute, to higher timeframes such as the 4-hour, daily, or even weekly. Its universal design makes it suitable for any market — whether you're trading crypto, stocks, forex, or commodities.
Introduction
To understand what this indicator does, let’s start with the idea of a Z-score. In simple terms, a Z-score tells you how far a number is from the average of its recent history, measured in standard deviations. If the price of an asset is two standard deviations above its mean, that means it’s statistically “rare” or extended. That doesn’t guarantee a reversal—but it suggests the move is unusual enough to pay attention.
This concept isn’t new, but what this indicator does differently is apply the Z-score to a wide set of market signals—not just price. It looks at momentum, volatility, volume, risk-adjusted performance, and even institutional price baselines. Each of those indicators is normalized using Z-scores, and then they’re combined into one average. This gives you a single, easy-to-read line that summarizes whether the entire market is behaving abnormally. Instead of reacting to one indicator, you’re reacting to a statistically balanced blend.
Purpose
The goal of this script is to catch turning points—places where the market may be topping out or bottoming after becoming overstretched. It’s built for traders who want to fade sharp moves rather than follow trends. Think of moments when price explodes upward and starts pulling away from every moving average, volume spikes, volatility rises, and RSI shoots up. This tool is meant to spot those situations—not just when price is stretched, but when multiple different indicators agree that something is overdone.
Originality and Uniqueness
Most indicators that use Z-scores only apply them to one thing—price, RSI, or maybe Bollinger Bands. This one is different because it treats each indicator as a contributor to the full picture. You decide which ones to include, and the script averages them out. This makes the tool flexible but also deeply informative.
It doesn’t rely on complex or hidden math. It uses basic Z-score formulas, applies them to well-known indicators, and shows you the result. What makes it unique is the way it brings those signals together—statistically, visually, and interactively—so you can see what’s happening in the moment with full transparency. It’s not trying to be flashy or predictive. It’s just showing you when things have gone too far, too fast.
Inputs and Parameters
This indicator includes a wide range of configurable inputs, allowing users to customize which components are included in the Z-score average, how each indicator is calculated, and how results are displayed visually. Below is a detailed explanation of each input:
General Settings
Z-Score Lookback (default: 100): Number of bars used to calculate the mean and standard deviation for Z-score normalization. Larger values smooth the Z-scores; smaller values make them more reactive.
Bar Color Mode (default: None): Determines how bars are visually colored. Options include: None: No candle coloring applied. - Heat: Smooth gradient based on the Z-score value. - Latest Signal: Applies a solid color based on the most recent buy or sell signal
Boolean - General
Plot Universal Valuation Line (default: true): If enabled, plots the average Z-score (zAvg) line in the separate pane.
Show Signals (default: true): Displays labels ("𝓤𝓹" for buy, "𝓓𝓸𝔀𝓷" for sell) when zAvg crosses above or below user-defined thresholds.
Show Z-Score Table (default: true): Displays a live table listing each enabled indicator's Z-score and the current average.
Select Indicators
These toggles enable or disable each indicator from contributing to the Z-score average:
Use VWAP Z-Score (default: true)
Use Sortino Z-Score (default: true)
Use ROC Z-Score (default: true)
Use Price Z-Score (default: true)
Use MACD Histogram Z-Score (default: false)
Use Bollinger %B Z-Score (default: false)
Use Stochastic K Z-Score (default: false)
Use Volume Z-Score (default: false)
Use ATR Z-Score (default: false)
Use RSI Z-Score (default: false)
Use Omega Z-Score (default: true)
Use Sharpe Z-Score (default: true)
Only enabled indicators are included in the average. This modular design allows traders to tailor the signal mix to their preferences.
Indicator Lengths
These inputs control how each individual indicator is calculated:
MACD Fast Length (default: 12)
MACD Slow Length (default: 26)
MACD Signal Length (default: 9)
Bollinger Basis Length (default: 20): Used to compute the Bollinger %B.
Bollinger Deviation Multiplier (default: 2.0): Standard deviation multiplier for the Bollinger Band calculation.
Stochastic Length (default: 14)
ATR Length (default: 14)
RSI Length (default: 14)
ROC Length (default: 10)
Zones
These thresholds define key signal levels for the Z-score average:
Neutral Line Level (default: 0): Baseline for the average Z-score.
Bullish Zone Level (default: -1): Optional intermediate zone suggesting early bullish conditions.
Bearish Zone Level (default: 1): Optional intermediate zone suggesting early bearish conditions.
Z = +2 Line Level (default: 2): Primary threshold for bearish signals.
Z = +3 Line Level (default: 3): Extreme bearish warning level.
Z = -2 Line Level (default: -2): Primary threshold for bullish signals.
Z = -3 Line Level (default: -3): Extreme bullish warning level.
These zone levels are used to generate signals, fill background shading, and draw horizontal lines for visual reference.
Why These Indicators Were Merged
Each indicator in this script was chosen for a specific reason. They all measure something different but complementary.
The VWAP Z-score helps you see when price has moved far from the volume-weighted average, often used by institutions.
Sortino Ratio Z-score focuses only on downside risk, which is often more relevant to traders than overall volatility.
ROC Z-score shows how fast price is changing—strong momentum may burn out quickly.
Price Z-score is the raw measure of how far current price has moved from its mean.
RSI Z-score shows whether momentum itself is stretched.
MACD Histogram Z-score captures shifts in trend strength and acceleration.
%B (Bollinger) Z-score indicates how close price is to the upper or lower volatility envelope.
Stochastic K Z-score gives a sense of how high or low price is relative to its recent range.
Volume Z-score shows when trading activity is unusually high or low.
ATR Z-score gives a read on volatility, showing if price movement is expanding or contracting.
Sharpe Z-score measures reward-to-risk performance, useful for evaluating trend quality.
Omega Z-score looks at the ratio of good returns to bad ones, offering a more nuanced view of efficiency.
By normalizing each of these using Z-scores and averaging only the ones you turn on, the script creates a flexible, balanced view of the market’s statistical stretch.
Calculations
The core formula is the standard Z-score:
Z = (current value - average) / standard deviation
Every indicator uses this formula after it’s calculated using your chosen settings. For example, RSI is first calculated as usual, then its Z-score is calculated over your selected lookback period. The script does this for every indicator you enable. Then it averages those Z-scores together to create a single value: zAvg. That value is plotted and used to generate visual cues, signals, table values, background color changes, and candle coloring.
Sequence
Each selected indicator is calculated using your custom input lengths.
The Z-score of each indicator is computed using the shared lookback period.
All active Z-scores are added up and averaged.
The resulting zAvg value is plotted as a line.
Signal conditions check if zAvg crosses user-defined thresholds (default: ±2).
If enabled, the script plots buy/sell signal labels at those crossover points.
The candle color is updated using your selected mode (heatmap or signal-based).
If extreme Z-scores are reached, background highlighting is applied.
A live table updates with each individual Z-score so you know what’s driving the signal.
Features
This script isn’t just about stats—it’s about making them usable in real time. Every feature has a clear reason to exist, and they’re all there to give you a better read on market conditions.
1. Universal Z-Score Line
This is your primary reference. It reflects the average Z-score across all selected indicators. The line updates live and is color-coded to show how far it is from neutral. The further it gets from 0, the brighter the color becomes—cyan for deeply oversold conditions, magenta for overbought. This gives you instant feedback on how statistically “hot” or “cold” the market is, without needing to read any numbers.
2. Signal Labels (“𝓤𝓹” and “𝓓𝓸𝔀𝓷”)
When the average Z-score drops below your lower bound, you’ll see a "𝓤𝓹" label below the bar, suggesting potential bullish reversal conditions. When it rises above the upper bound, a "𝓓𝓸𝔀𝓷" label is shown above the bar—indicating possible bearish exhaustion. These labels are visually clear and minimal so they don’t clutter your chart. They're based on clear crossover logic and do not repaint.
3. Real-Time Z-Score Table
The table shows each indicator's individual Z-score and the final average. It updates every bar, giving you a transparent breakdown of what’s happening under the hood. If the market is showing an extreme average score, this table helps you pinpoint which indicators are contributing the most—so you’re not just guessing where the pressure is coming from.
4. Bar Coloring Modes
You can choose from three modes:
None: Keeps your candles clean and untouched.
Heat: Applies a smooth gradient color based on Z-score intensity. As conditions become more extreme, candle color transitions from neutral to either cyan (bullish pressure) or magenta (bearish pressure).
Latest Signal: Applies hard coloring based on the most recent signal—greenish for a buy, purple for a sell. This mode is great for tracking market state at a glance without relying on a gradient.
Every part of the candle is colored—body, wick, and border—for full visibility.
5. Background Highlighting
When zAvg enters an extreme zone (typically above +2 or below -2), the background shifts color to reflect the market’s intensity. These changes aren’t overwhelming—they’re light fills that act as ambient warnings, helping you stay aware of when price might be reaching a tipping point.
6. Customizable Zone Lines and Fills
You can define what counts as neutral, overbought, and oversold using manual inputs. Horizontal lines show your thresholds, and shaded regions highlight the most extreme zones (+2 to +3 and -2 to -3). These lines give you visual structure to understand where price currently stands in relation to your personal reversal model.
7. Modular Indicator Control
You don’t have to use all the indicators. You can enable or disable any of the 12 with a simple checkbox. This means you can build your own “blend” of market context—maybe you only care about RSI, price, and volume. Or maybe you want everything on. The script adapts accordingly, only averaging what you select.
8. Fully Customizable Sensitivity and Lengths
You can adjust the Z-score lookback length globally (default 100), and tweak individual indicator lengths separately. This lets you tune the indicator’s responsiveness to suit your trading style—slower for longer swings, faster for scalping.
9. Clean Integration with Any Chart Layout
All visual elements are designed to be informative without taking over your chart. The coloring is soft but clear, the labels are readable without being huge, and you can turn off any feature you don’t need. The indicator can work as a full dashboard or as a simple line with a couple of alerts—it’s up to you.
10. Precise, Real-Time Signal Logic
The crossover logic for signals is exact and only fires when the Z-score moves across your defined boundary. No estimation, no delay. Everything is calculated based on current and previous bar data, and nothing repaints or back-adjusts.
Conclusion
The Universal Z-Score Valuation indicator is a tool for traders who want a clear, unbiased way to detect overextension. Instead of relying on a single signal, you get a composite of several market perspectives—momentum, volatility, volume, and more—all standardized into a single view. The script gives you the freedom to control the logic, the visuals, and the components. Whether you use it as a confirmation tool or a primary signal source, it’s designed to give you clarity when markets become chaotic.

Pristine Fundamental AnalysisThe Pristine Fundamental Analysis indicator enables users to perform comprehensive fundamental stock analysis in a fraction of the time! 🏆
For swing/position traders, fundamental analysis is essential—it informs stock selection and strengthens conviction, enabling traders to stay in positions long enough to capture larger moves. Since every ticker represents both a business and a tradable asset, fundamental analysis perfectly complements technical analysis.
💠 Fundamental Analysis Insights - Weekly Timeframe
EPS & sales trends, margins & ratios, and valuation metrics are displayed on the weekly timeframe for in-depth analysis outside market hours.
💠 Fundamental Analysis Insights - Daily Timeframe
A slimmed down version of the fundamental analysis table is displayed on the daily timeframe to provide users quick insights into the fundamentals, while allowing them to focus on technical analysis during market hours.
💠 Fundamental Analysis Metrics to Deepen Understanding of Companies!
EARNINGS & SALES TRENDS
Why does it matter? Company stock prices tend to track the growth trajectory of earnings and sales over time. By analyzing fundamentals, users can gain an edge that pure technical traders do not have. This edge is most pronounced during big market dislocations when investors are forced to liquidate their top holdings.
▪ EPS - Measures year-over-year growth, quarter-over-quarter growth, and the surprise between actuals & analyst estimates
▪ Sales Analysis - Measures year-over-year growth, quarter-over-quarter growth, and the surprise between actuals & analyst estimates
MARGIN ANALYSIS
Why does it matter? Revenue is the lifeblood of a company. Margins measure company profits and expenditures as a percentage of revenue
▪ G% - Gross margin measures the percentage of revenue a company retained after subtracting the direct costs of producing the goods or services it sells, known as the cost of goods sold (COGS)
▪ CFO% - Measures the percentage of a company's revenue that was converted to Cash flow from operations (CFO). CFO, also known as operating cash flow (OCF), is the amount of cash a company generated from its core business activities over a specific period. It reflects the actual cash inflows and outflows resulting from the company’s main operations, such as selling products or providing services, and excludes cash flows from investing and financing activities.
▪ Net% - Net margin measures the percentage of revenue that was converted to net profit
▪ ROE% - Return on Equity measures how much net income a company produced for each dollar of equity invested by shareholders
▪ R&D% - R&D margin measures how much the company invested in research & development as a percentage of revenue
▪ D/E - The Debt to Equity ratio measures how much of a company’s financing comes from creditors (debt) versus owners (equity), providing insight into the company’s financial leverage and risk profile. The indicator tracks changes in the ratio over time
VALUATION METRICS
Why does it matter? Valuation metrics provide users an understanding of the potential risk if the fundamental trajectory of the company, or the broad market, changes! The more highly valued a company is, the more downside risk is present if conditions worsen, and vice versa.
▪ PE - The Price-to-Earnings ratio measures a company’s current share price relative to its trailing twelve-month(TTM) earnings per share (EPS). It helps investors assess how much they are paying for each dollar of a company’s earnings and is often used to gauge whether a stock is overvalued, undervalued, or fairly valued compared to its peers or historical averages.
▪ PS - The Price-to-Sales ratio measures a company’s current share price relative to its trailing twelve-month(TTM) sales per share. It helps investors assess how much they are paying for each dollar of a company’s sales and is often used to gauge whether a stock is overvalued, undervalued, or fairly valued compared to its peers or historical averages.
▪ BB% - Buyback yield measures the annual percentage of stock repurchased by the company. Share buybacks reduce total share count, which directly increases earnings per share!
💠 What Makes This Indicator Unique
There are many fundamental dashboards, however, what makes this indicator unique is customized metrics that were used to achieve back-to-back top finishes in the US Investing Championship. The main purpose of the indicator is to highlight companies with a history of EPS and sales acceleration , rather than focusing on the values in isolation, or even the growth of the values. Our goal is further evolution of the metrics and color signals based on continued backtesting and analysis of real-time market data.
▪ Custom Margin Metrics : Several of the margin metrics are unique and offer significant value beyond EPS and sales data alone.
For example, there are plenty of companies that have negative EPS due to non-cash expenses and/or investments they are making into their business, but that does not by itself mean that the companies are not worthy of an investment. Roblox (RBLX) is a great example. The company has consistently negative EPS, but the CFO% margin is positive! That means the core business throws off significant amounts of cash, and a large amount of it is being allocated to aggressive R&D spend, which is captured by the R&D% metric. This could propel the fundamentals of the business well into the future.
▪ Color Signals Based on Thresholds : The background colors of metrics are based on historical analysis and apply relevant thresholds to help users identify companies with strong fundamentals
▪ Comprehensive Inline Documentation : All headers cells offer detailed information about the relevant calculations/metrics as well as in-depth information on color coding and how to interpret each value. This small, yet important detail, allows users to quickly identify accelerating fundamental trends

The indicator automatically sorts from greatest to least based on the %Δ column 👇
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.

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.👇

FeraTrading Pattern Recognition Engine🧠 Overview:
The FeraTrading Pattern Recognition Engine (PRE) is a lightweight, adaptive model that transforms raw chart data into pattern signatures and tracks their performance in real time.
Instead of relying on fixed formulas or lagging indicators, it learns from what has worked before on your chart—highlighting bull and bear patterns that have a track record of hitting a profit target within a specified number of bars.
This system is ideal for traders who want evolving entries that reflect live market behavior without repainting or hardcoding.
⚙️ How It Works:
🔹 Pattern Encoding:
The script monitors recent price action and builds a unique pattern ID using selected features:
Up to 10 feature toggles (detailed below)
Each feature is converted into a categorical value
The combination of features over a lookback window defines the pattern signature
Bullish and bearish patterns are tracked separately.
🔹 Pattern Evaluation & Learning:
As each pattern appears:
A unique ID is generated.
The script checks if price reaches the required % move within N bars.
If successful, it logs the pattern as a win.
Accuracy and sample size are updated.
Only patterns with 10+ past samples are eligible for live signals.
🔹 Signal Generation:
When today's pattern matches one of the top historically successful bull or bear patterns:
🟢 Green Triangle (below bar) = Bullish pattern match
🔴 Red Triangle (above bar) = Bearish pattern match
Signals are confirmed one bar after pattern completion to avoid repainting.
🧶 Feature Toggles:
Each of the following can be turned on/off to customize the pattern logic:
Candle Type: Bullish, Bearish, or Doji classification.
RSI > 50: Adds momentum context.
Higher High / Lower Low: Tracks continuation or breakout structure.
Volume Spike: Flags volume > 1.5x 20-bar average.
Relative Range: True if bar range > 5-bar average.
Body-to-Range > 60%: Filters for full-bodied candles.
Wick Dominance: Flags wicky/exhaustion candles.
EMA Alignment: Checks if price is in directional alignment with fast/slow EMAs.
Gap From Prior Close: Flags price gaps from previous close.
RSI Slope: Captures trend acceleration or deceleration in RSI.
Tip: 2–3 features = broader learning. 5+ features = more selective precision.
🤷 Inputs & Customization:
Target Move %: How far price must move to qualify as a win.
Lookback Bars: How far back to check for pattern definition.
Bars Forward: How much time the pattern has to hit target.
Signal Toggles: Enable/disable bullish and bearish signals.
🎯 What Makes It Original:
Learns from live data—no static formulas or preset patterns.
Signals only appear if historical accuracy + sample size threshold is met.
One-bar delayed confirmation = no repainting.
Configurable features allow full user control of complexity.
Works on any asset, any timeframe.
✅ How to Use:
Add to any intraday chart (1m–30m ideal).
Start with 2–3 features toggled on.
Let the script learn as data comes in.
Watch for triangle signals (green = bullish, red = bearish).
Combine with other tools for added confluence.
Over time, the engine becomes more selective and accurate.
💎 Why It’s Worth Paying For
The PRE isn’t a repackaged signal script—it’s a real-time learning engine. It provides:
A dynamic model that evolves with your chart
Customizable pattern encoding across 10 behavioral features
Verified, statistically accurate signals
Confirmed, non-repainting outputs
Applicability to any asset or market condition
This isn't theoretical—it's performance-driven signal logic trained by your own chart.
✅ Compliance & Originality This tool was developed from scratch by FeraTrading using fully original logic. No open-source logic or reused libraries were used. All detection methods, signal logic, and pattern encodings are unique and built with compliance in mind. This is absolutely an original script, one we think may be unique to TradingView completely and never seen before.
⚠️ Risk Disclaimer & Access Policy
This script is a historical pattern tracker—not a forecasting engine. No prediction of future price behavior is implied or guaranteed.
Use with proper risk management and trade discretion.
To protect the core pattern engine, this script is invite-only and closed-source. Opening the source would allow cloning of its real-time pattern encoding and filtering logic.
Restricting access ensures:
Proper use by qualified traders
Prevention of misuse or unauthorized distribution
Protection of the tool’s proprietary logic and long-term value
The PRE is designed to be part of a professional workflow, and its access model reflects that goal.
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!

Thank you traders!
Z Score Overlay [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
A clean and effective Z-score overlay that visually tracks how far price deviates from its moving average. By standardizing price movements, this tool helps traders understand when price is statistically extended or compressed—up to ±4 standard deviations. The built-in scale and real-time bin markers offer immediate context on where price stands in relation to its recent mean.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Z Score Calculation:
Z = (Close − SMA) ÷ Standard Deviation
This formula shows how many standard deviations the current price is from its mean.
Statistical Extremes:
• Z > +2 or Z < −2 suggests statistically significant deviation.
• Z near 0 implies price is close to its average.
Standardization of Price Behavior: Makes it easier to compare volatility and overextension across timeframes and assets.
🔵 FEATURES
Colored Z Line: Gradient coloring based on how far price deviates—
• Red = oversold (−4),
• Green = overbought (+4),
• Yellow = neutral (~0).
Deviation Scale Bar: A vertical scale from −4 to +4 standard deviations plotted to the right of price.
Active Z Score Bin: Highlights the current Z-score bin with a “◀” arrow
Context Labels: Clear numeric labels for each Z-level from −4 to +4 along the side.
Live Value Display: Shows exact Z-score on the active level.
Non-intrusive Overlay: Can be applied directly to price chart without changing scaling behavior.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Identify overbought/oversold areas based on +2 / −2 thresholds.
Spot potential mean reversion trades when Z returns from extreme levels.
Confirm strong trends when price remains consistently outside ±2.
Use in multi-timeframe setups to compare strength across contexts.
🔵 CONCLUSION
Z Score Overlay transforms raw price action into a normalized statistical view, allowing traders to easily assess deviation strength and mean-reversion potential. The intuitive scale and color-coded display make it ideal for traders seeking objective, volatility-aware entries and exits.
Daily Trading Barometer (DTB) with DJIA OverlayThe "Daily Trading Barometer (DTB) with DJIA Overlay" is a custom technical indicator designed to identify intermediate-term overbought and oversold conditions in the stock market, inspired by Edson Gould's original DTB methodology. This indicator combines three key components:
A 7-day advance-decline oscillator, a 20-day volume oscillator, and a 28-day DJIA price ratio, normalized into a composite index scaled around 110–135. Values below 110 signal potential oversold conditions, while values above 135 indicate overbought territory, aiding in timing market reversals.
The overlay of a normalized DJIA plot allows for visual correlation with the broader market trend. Use this tool to anticipate turning points in oscillating markets, though it’s best combined with other indicators for confirmation. Ideal for traders seeking probabilistic insights into bear or bull market transitions.
How to use -
If the DTB line (blue) and normalized DJIA (orange) are under the green dashed line, high probability for a long and reversal.
Use with the symbol SPX/QQQ

PRICE MOVEMENT STATISTICS# Price Movement Statistics - Advanced Pattern Recognition System
## Foundation
Price Movement Statistics (PMS) represents a fundamentally different approach to market analysis compared to traditional indicators like RSI, Moving Averages, or Bollinger Bands. While most indicators rely on mathematical transformations of price data, PMS implements a **machine learning-inspired nearest-neighbor algorithm** that compares current market conditions against thousands of historical patterns across multiple correlated instruments.
### What Makes This Original
Unlike standard indicators that follow predetermined formulas, PMS:
1. **Multi-Symbol Pattern Database**: Analyzes up to 4 different but correlated symbols simultaneously, creating a massive historical pattern database that single-symbol indicators cannot access
2. **8-Feature Normalized Vector Comparison**: Converts each candlestick into 8 numerical features (body-to-range ratios, wick proportions, relative positioning, momentum characteristics) and uses Manhattan distance calculations to find statistically similar historical situations
3. **Forward-Looking Statistical Validation**: Instead of just identifying patterns, PMS tracks what actually happened 1-5 bars after similar patterns occurred historically, providing probabilistic forecasts with sample sizes and confidence levels
4. **Adaptive Similarity Scoring**: Uses real-time distance calculations between current conditions and historical patterns, allowing traders to see exactly how many similar cases existed and their outcomes
## Technical Methodology Explained
### Pattern Recognition Engine
The core algorithm transforms each market condition into a normalized 8-dimensional vector containing:
- Short vs. long-term range ratios computed using proprietary envelope calculations
- Price position relative to recent ranges using adaptive scaling methods
- Volatility comparisons across multiple timeframes with logarithmic return analysis
- Momentum divergences between short and long-term linear regression slopes
- Volume behavior patterns using statistical deviation scoring
- Candlestick structure metrics including ATR ratios and boundary touch frequencies
### Advanced Code Architecture
**Multi-Symbol Data Pipeline**: The system employs Pine Script's `request.security()` function in a sophisticated loop structure that simultaneously processes up to 4 different instruments. Each symbol contributes its own 8-feature vector, creating a 32-dimensional search space that dramatically expands pattern recognition capabilities beyond single-symbol analysis.
**Adaptive Normalization Engine**: Rather than using simple percentage changes, the code implements a custom `scale_adaptive()` function that ranks current values against rolling historical distributions. This percentile-based approach ensures pattern recognition remains consistent across different market volatility regimes and price levels.
**Distance Matrix Calculations**: The matching algorithm runs nested loops through thousands of historical bars, computing Manhattan distances for each potential match. The code optimizes performance by using vectorized operations and early termination conditions when similarity thresholds aren't met.
**Forward-Looking Analysis Pipeline**: Once matches are identified, the system implements a sophisticated outcome tracking mechanism that categorizes future price movements, volume behaviors, and candle characteristics. This requires careful index management to avoid look-ahead bias while maintaining real-time calculation efficiency.
### Similarity Matching Process
1. **Data Normalization**: Features are processed through custom percentile ranking against 500-bar rolling windows
2. **Distance Calculation**: Optimized Manhattan distance computation across 8-dimensional vectors with early exit conditions
3. **Multi-Symbol Aggregation**: Matches from different symbols are weighted and combined using statistical averaging techniques
4. **Threshold Filtering**: Dynamic similarity boundaries that adapt to market volatility conditions
5. **Outcome Analysis**: Forward-looking statistical compilation with bias tracking and magnitude calculations
### Statistical Output Generation
The system's proprietary aggregation engine provides:
- **Win/Loss Ratios**: Calculated from actual forward-price movements with statistical weighting
- **Sample Sizes**: Match counts across all symbols with confidence scoring algorithms
- **Average Magnitude**: Expected move calculations using historical outcome distributions
- **Volume Context**: Pattern-specific volume analysis using normalized scoring methods
- **Directional Bias**: Multi-timeframe probability calculations with cross-symbol validation
## Why This Approach is Worth the Investment
### Beyond Traditional Indicators
Standard indicators like RSI or MACD give you oversold/overbought signals or momentum divergences, but they don't answer the crucial question: "What happened historically when similar conditions occurred?" PMS bridges this gap by providing:
1. **Quantified Probabilities**: Instead of subjective pattern recognition, you get actual win rates and sample sizes
2. **Cross-Market Validation**: Patterns confirmed across multiple correlated instruments carry more statistical weight
3. **Sample Size Transparency**: You can see whether a signal is based on 5 occurrences or 500, adjusting confidence accordingly
4. **Magnitude Expectations**: Historical data shows not just direction, but expected move sizes
### Practical Trading Applications
**Entry Timing**: When PMS shows >70% historical win rate with 100+ matches, you have statistical evidence supporting your entry rather than relying on visual pattern interpretation.
**Risk Management**: Historical magnitude data helps size positions appropriately based on expected adverse moves in similar past situations.
**Confirmation**: Multi-symbol analysis provides cross-market confirmation that single-symbol indicators cannot offer.
## How to Use the System
### Signal Interpretation
- **Bias Ratio >1.5**: Historically bullish (more winning long trades than losing ones)
- **Bias Ratio <0.67**: Historically bearish (more winning short trades than losing ones)
- **Sample Size >50**: High confidence (sufficient historical data)
- **Sample Size <20**: Low confidence (limited historical precedent)
### Setup Optimization
- **Symbol Selection**: Choose 3-4 correlated instruments (e.g., stock + sector ETF + index, or currency pairs with base currency relationships)
- **Timeframe Coordination**: Use higher timeframes for broader context, lower timeframes for precise entry timing
- **Threshold Adjustment**: Lower similarity thresholds find more specific matches; higher thresholds increase sample sizes
## Technical Requirements and Limitations
**Data Depth**: Requires minimum 1000 bars per symbol for meaningful analysis; 3000+ bars recommended for optimal performance.
**Computational Load**: Real-time pattern matching across multiple symbols and thousands of historical bars requires TradingView's advanced Pine Script capabilities.
**Market Applicability**: Most effective in liquid markets with sufficient historical data; less reliable in newly listed instruments or during unprecedented market conditions.
## Important Disclaimers
This system identifies historical statistical patterns under similar conditions—it does not predict future movements with certainty. Effectiveness depends on intelligent symbol selection, appropriate timeframe usage, and integration with proper risk management. Past performance patterns do not guarantee future results, and all trading involves substantial risk of loss.
The algorithm's sophistication lies not in complex mathematical formulas, but in its ability to efficiently search through massive historical datasets and quantify pattern outcomes—something impossible to do manually and unavailable in standard technical indicators.
