Statistics
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.

BTC D-AccumulatorBTC D-Accumulator — Adaptive Bitcoin Macro Accumulation System
Overview
BTC D-Accumulator is an advanced Bitcoin-focused accumulation detection and signal generation tool designed for daily timeframe traders and long-term investors. Its main purpose is to help users identify potential macro accumulation zones and market cycle resets with high statistical confidence. By combining on-chain metrics (NUPL, CVDD), adaptive EMA-based trend filtering, and a proprietary math-driven crossover logic, it delivers clear accumulation signals classified into four levels of conviction: AI BUY, BUY, Low Accumulation, and Risky Accumulation.
What It Does
BTC D-Accumulator analyzes BTC price action and market health across several complementary dimensions:
1. On-Chain Valuation Metrics - NUPL (Net Unrealized Profit/Loss) is used to gauge sentiment extremes and potential undervaluation. CVDD (Cumulative Value Days Destroyed) defines probabilistic long-term floor values based on historical spending behavior.
2. Macro Crossover Logic - A custom math-based moving average crossover system dynamically adjusts its periods to the timeframe. Detects major market cycle resets or restarts (AI SELL / AI BUY signals).
3. Dynamic EMA Filtering - Evaluates BTC’s position relative to EMA50, EMA100, and EMA200 to confirm broader trend context and filter signals.
4. Momentum and Mean Reversion Conditions - RSI and smoothed RSI values ensure that signals are only triggered when the market is statistically oversold. A custom dual-line momentum engine measures directional bias and deceleration.
5. Visual Labels & Alerts - Each signal is displayed with a label directly on the chart (AI BUY, BUY, or arrows for other accumulation levels). Built-in alerts allow traders to be notified instantly when accumulation signals appear.
How It Works
BTC D-Accumulator uses the combined state of these components to classify price action into four actionable accumulation signals:
1. AI BUY – Strongest macro accumulation signal triggered by a proprietary math crossover and confirmed by other criteria.
2. BUY – High-probability accumulation signal combining on-chain undervaluation and momentum exhaustion.
3. GREEN ARROW – Moderate accumulation signal triggered when BTC is below major EMAs and shows volatility compression.
4. ORANGE ARROW – Early accumulation attempt during oversold conditions but with less confluence; higher risk.
Result: Signals only appear when multiple valuation, momentum, and trend filters align, improving selectivity and reducing noise.
How To Use It
1. Confirm the Context: Always ensure you are viewing BTC pairs (BTCUSD, BTCUSDT, BTCUSDC) on the Daily timeframe. Assess the overall market trend and sentiment before taking action.
2. Act According to the Signal Type:
-- AI BUY: Indicates a major cycle reset or strong accumulation opportunity; suitable for scaling into long-term positions.
-- BUY: Signals a statistically favorable zone for adding exposure with high confidence.
-- Low Accumulation: Moderate conviction entry; consider using partial position size.
-- Risky Accumulation: Early accumulation in potentially unstable market conditions; requires tighter risk control.
3. Manage Exposure: Use stop losses and scale entries progressively rather than committing all capital at once. Combine with your macro thesis and portfolio objectives.
Why It Is Unique
1. Integrates on-chain valuation metrics (NUPL, CVDD) with adaptive EMA filtering and math-based cycle detection.
2. Designed specifically for Bitcoin daily charts, avoiding false signals in other pairs or timeframes.
3. Provides four clearly classified accumulation signals, enabling flexible strategy deployment across different conviction levels.
4. Includes real-time visual labels and alerts for improved situational awareness and automation.
Apply Risk Management
Never rely exclusively on signals without understanding Bitcoin’s broader context. Maintain a clear risk/reward plan, diversify across entries, and size positions responsibly.
Timeframe Selection
Optimized for the Daily timeframe only. Using lower or higher timeframes will disable or distort signals.
Asset Selection
Only applicable to BTCUSD/BTCUSDT/BTCUSDC
Best Suited For
Bitcoin investors, swing traders, and position traders who want a systematic framework to identify macro accumulation opportunities.
Important Notes
The signals generated by BTC D-Accumulator are intended to support informed decisions, not to replace independent analysis. While the indicator incorporates advanced on-chain and price-based metrics, it does not guarantee outcomes. Use all information in combination with your trading plan and risk management practices.

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
The script is open for the community. Suggestions and feedback are welcome in the comments!
__________________________________________________________________________________
Этот индикатор визуализирует изменения открытого интереса (OI) для Binance Futures и показывает поведение участников рынка — открывают или закрывают позиции тейкеры или мейкеры.
📊 Доступные режимы отображения:
• Taker или Maker
• Longs или Shorts
• Кумулятивный или по бару
• В USD или в монетах
💡 Каждый цвет свечи отражает преобладающее направление сделок (дельта):
🟢 Зеленый = Агрессивные покупки (Delta Buy)
🔴 Красный = Агрессивные продажи (Delta Sell)
Направление OI (↑/↓) показывает, открываются или закрываются позиции.
🛠️ Дополнительные метрики:
• Скользящая средняя OI (SMA, EMA, WMA, VWMA, LSMA)
• Волатильностные каналы (Bollinger Bands или экстремумы)
⚙️ Как работает:
• Получает данные OI из тикера SYMBOL_OI (например, BTCUSDT_OI)
• Сравнивает текущий OI с предыдущим баром
• Использует направленную дельту объема (close - open) для определения намерения
• 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↓)
```
⚠️ Ограничения:
• Работает только для Binance Futures
• Требуется наличие тикера SYMBOL_OI на TradingView
• Показывает приблизительное намерение на основе OI и дельты объема

Haruto Developing VWAP & Value AreaDescription:
This indicator provides a comprehensive look at market dynamics by calculating a developing Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP) and its corresponding standard deviation bands. Unlike a fixed VWAP that only appears at the end of a period, this "developing" version updates on each bar, offering real-time insight into the current session's average traded price.
This tool is designed for traders who use intraday data to analyze market sentiment and identify key levels of support and resistance as they form. The standard deviation bands create a "value area," helping you to quickly visualize where the majority of trading volume is concentrated relative to the weighted average price.
Key Features:
Developing VWAP: The core VWAP line is calculated cumulatively and updates with each new bar throughout the session.
Customizable Timeframe: Choose the session period that fits your trading style, including Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, or Yearly VWAP.
Standard Deviation Bands: Automatically plots standard deviation bands above and below the VWAP, forming a dynamic "value area." You can customize the multiplier for these bands.
Previous Period Levels: For crucial context, the indicator can display the final VWAP and value area levels from the previous period. These historical levels often act as significant support or resistance in the current session.
Clean & Clear Visualization: Uses clean lines and subtle fills to make the current and previous period levels easy to distinguish without cluttering your chart.
How to Use:
Identify the Trend: Observe whether the price is trading above or below the developing VWAP to gauge the intraday trend bias (bullish or bearish).
Spot Value: The area between the standard deviation bands represents the session's "value area." Prices inside this zone are considered to be at a "fair" value, while prices outside may indicate overbought or oversold conditions.
Find Key Levels: Use the previous period's VWAP and band edges as potential targets or areas of support and resistance. A rejection from or acceptance around these levels can provide powerful trading signals.
This indicator is a powerful tool for volume and price analysis, helping traders stay aligned with the market's flow throughout any given session.
[DEM] Chaikin Money Flow Signal (With Backtesting) Chaikin Money Flow Signal (With Backtesting) generates buy and sell signals based on the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) indicator, combined with a Parabolic SAR (Stop And Reverse) filter, and includes a comprehensive backtesting framework to evaluate signal performance. The indicator overlays directly on the price chart, plotting signals and displaying performance statistics in a table.

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 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.

CLMM Vault策略回测 (专业版) v5Explanation of the CLMM (Concentrated Liquidity - Market Maker) Strategy Backtesting Model Developed for the Sui Chain Vaults Protocol
Why Are We Doing This?
Conducting strategy backtesting is a crucial step for us to make data-driven decisions, validate the feasibility of strategies, and manage potential risks before committing real funds and significant development resources. A strategy that appears to have a high APY may perform entirely differently once real-world frictional costs (such as rebalancing fees and slippage) are deducted. The goal of this backtesting model is to quickly and cost-effectively identify which strategy parameter combinations have the potential to be profitable and which ones pose risks before formal development, thereby avoiding significant losses and providing data support for the project's direction.
Core Features of the Backtesting Model
We have built a "pro version" (v5) strategy simulator using TradingView's Pine Script. It can quickly simulate the core performance of our auto-compounding and rebalancing Vaults on historical price data, with the following main features:
Auto-Compounding: Continuously adds the generated fee income to the principal based on the set profit range (e.g., 0.01%).
Auto-Rebalancing: Simulates automatic rebalancing actions when the price exceeds the preset profit range and deducts the corresponding costs.
Smart Filtering Mechanism: To make the simulation closer to our ideal "smart" decision-making, it integrates three freely combinable filtering mechanisms:
Buffer Zone: Tolerates minor and temporary breaches of the profit range to avoid unnecessary rebalancing.
Breakout Confirmation: Requires the price to be in the trigger zone for N consecutive candles to confirm a breakout, filtering out market noise from "false breakouts."
Time Cooldown: Enforces a minimum time interval between two rebalances to prevent value-destroying high-frequency trading in extreme market conditions.
Important: Simplifications and Assumptions of the Model
To quickly prototype and iterate on the TradingView platform, we have made some key simplifications to the model.
A fully accurate backtest would require a deep simulation of on-chain liquidity pools (Pool Pair), calculating the price impact (Slippage) and impermanent loss (IL) caused by each rebalance on the pool. Since TradingView cannot access real-time on-chain liquidity data, we have made the following simplifications:
Simplified Rebalancing Costs: Instead of simulating real transaction slippage, we use a unified input parameter of single rebalance cost (%) to "bundle" and approximate the total of Gas fees, slippage, and realized impermanent loss.
Simplified Fee Income: Instead of calculating fees based on real-time trading volume, we directly input an average fee annualized return (%) as the core income assumption for our strategy.
How to Use and Test
Team members can load this script and test different strategies by adjusting the input parameters on the panel. The most critical parameters include: position profit range, average fee annualized return, single rebalance cost, and the switches and corresponding values of the above three smart filters.

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.
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.
