Precision Trendlines - Relevant Current TFPrecision Structural Trendlines (Current TF)
Overview
The Precision Structural Trendlines indicator is a high-performance price action tool designed for traders who rely on market structure and trend convergence. Unlike standard trendline scripts that clutter the chart with every possible connection, this indicator strictly follows professional structural rules—connecting Lower Highs for resistance and Higher Lows for support.
Key Features
Structural Integrity: The engine ensures that resistance lines are only drawn during bearish sequences (Lower Highs) and support lines during bullish sequences (Higher Lows), aligning with core Price Action principles.
Dynamic Relevance Filter: Solve the "web of lines" problem. By default, the script only shows trendlines that are currently relevant to price. As price moves away from old trends, they fade out, keeping your workspace clean.
Zero Drift Synchronization: Built using absolute time-anchoring (xloc.bar_time), ensuring that trendlines stay perfectly "glued" to the candle wicks regardless of how much you scroll or zoom.
Customizable Aesthetics: Choose between Random Dark Colors to easily distinguish overlapping trends or a Static Color for a unified look. Global width controls allow for instant visibility adjustments.
How to Use
Trend Confirmation: Use the Minimum Points setting. Set it to 2 for aggressive, early trend detection, or 3 to only see lines that have been validated by multiple touches.
Major vs. Minor Swings: Adjust the Pivot Strength. A value of 30 (default) captures significant intraday turns, while 20+ is ideal for identifying major swing structure.
Relevance Buffer: Tune the Price Buffer % to determine how close price must be to a historical trendline before it reappears on your chart.
Settings Breakdown
Minimum Points: Number of pivot points required to anchor a line.
Pivot Strength: The "look-left/look-right" requirement to confirm a peak or valley.
Validation Tolerance: The vertical buffer allowed for a 3rd point to "hit" the trendline.
Show Relevant Only: Toggles the visibility filter (highly recommended for high-volume traders).
趨勢分析
AperonFx Pivot Points 1.1This indicator plots ATR-based pivot levels with a clean, institutional layout.
The central pivot (P) is calculated from the selected timeframe and price formula, while support and resistance levels are placed at equal distance steps above and below the pivot.
Users can choose between an automatic step based on ATR or a fixed price step for fully controlled, symmetric levels.
All levels are drawn as continuous segments that align precisely with the active pivot period.
Price annotations are displayed in a minimal, unobtrusive style and always match the exact level values.
The indicator is designed to remain consistent across chart timeframes without recalculation drift.
It is intended for traders who want clear, structured reference levels rather than reactive signals.

Smart Money Concept Change of Character Break of StructureSMC Structure
Visualizes Change of Character (CHoCH) and Break of Structure (BoS) - two fundamental Smart Money Concepts for identifying trend reversals and continuations.
This is the 1st version of an implementation of this concept.
It is NOT supposed to be used as a signal but a confirmation. Best use during NYSE hours.
Full Description
Overview
This indicator automatically detects and displays two core Smart Money Concepts (SMC) directly on your chart:
CHoCH (Change of Character) – The first structural break against the prevailing trend, signaling a potential reversal
BoS (Break of Structure) – A structural break in the direction of the current trend, confirming continuation
These concepts are essential building blocks of SMC trading methodology, helping traders identify where institutional players may be entering or exiting positions.
How It Works
The indicator uses pivot-based swing detection to identify significant highs and lows. When price breaks through these levels, it classifies the move as either a CHoCH or BoS based on the current trend context.
CHoCH (Change of Character)
Occurs when price breaks structure AGAINST the current trend
First warning sign that the trend may be reversing
Displayed as a solid horizontal line with "CHoCH" label
Green = Bullish reversal | Red = Bearish reversal
BoS (Break of Structure)
Occurs when price breaks structure IN THE DIRECTION of the current trend
Confirms that the existing trend remains intact
Displayed as a dashed horizontal line with "BoS" label
Teal = Bullish continuation | Maroon = Bearish continuation
Visual Example
Uptrend with BoS (continuation):
HH ◄── BoS (trend continues)
/
HL
/
HH
/
HL
Uptrend → CHoCH → Downtrend (reversal):
HH

HL \
LL ◄── CHoCH (trend reversal!)
Settings
Pivot Settings
Pivot Lookback: Number of bars used to identify swing highs/lows (default: 5). Higher values = fewer but more significant structure points.
Display Options
Show CHoCH: Toggle CHoCH visualization
Show BoS: Toggle BoS visualization
Show Swing Points: Display SH/SL labels at detected pivots
Extend Lines to Right: Extend structure lines into future bars
Show Info Table: Display current trend and last swing levels
Show Trend Background: Color the chart background based on trend direction
Colors
Fully customizable colors for all elements
How to Use
Identify the trend: Look at the sequence of CHoCH and BoS signals to understand market structure
Watch for CHoCH: A CHoCH signals potential reversal – wait for confirmation before trading against the previous trend
Trade with BoS: BoS confirms trend continuation – look for entries on pullbacks in the direction of the trend
Combine with other SMC concepts: Works great alongside Order Blocks, Fair Value Gaps, and liquidity concepts
Tips
Use higher pivot lookback values on higher timeframes for cleaner signals
A CHoCH doesn't guarantee reversal – it's the first warning sign, not confirmation
Multiple BoS signals in a row indicate a strong, healthy trend
Look for CHoCH occurring at key levels (support/resistance, order blocks) for higher probability setups

Elite Monday Range V3- ProfessionalElite Monday Range V3 - Advanced Institutional Bias & Analysis
Overview
The Elite Monday Range V3 is a high-performance decision-support tool designed for traders who utilize the "Weekly Open" and "Monday's Range" as their primary benchmark for the trading week. Unlike standard range indicators, this script employs an advanced Multi-Asset Analysis Engine to determine the weekly bias with institutional-grade precision.
It doesn't just draw lines; it analyzes Previous Week's Close (PWC), Monday's Candle Structures (Price Action), and Internal Liquidity to provide a definitive "Directional Bias" and "Confidence Score."
Key Features
Smart Multi-Asset Detection: Automatically detects if you are trading Forex, Crypto, or Indices and adjusts its internal logic and strategy suggestions accordingly.
Institutional Bias Engine: Calculates a Confidence Score (from -4 to +4) based on 4 critical criteria:
Price vs. Previous Week Close: Checks if the bulls or bears are maintaining momentum from the prior week.
Monday Candle Analysis: Automatically identifies Pin Bars (Liquidity Grabs) or Strong Engulfing movements.
Price vs. Monday Midpoint (Equilibrium): The ultimate pivot point for weekly trend direction.
Price vs. Weekly Open: Tracks the "true" opening sentiment.
Liquidity Hunt Signals (Judas Swing): Visual alerts for LIQ BUY and LIQ SELL when price sweeps Monday's extremes and returns inside the range—a classic sign of institutional manipulation before a trend.
Symmetric Expansion Levels: Projects +50%, +100%, -50%, and -100% extensions of the Monday range to identify high-probability Take Profit (TP) and reversal zones.
Dynamic Professional Dashboard: A sleek, real-time table on your chart that summarizes Asset Type, Weekly Bias, Candle Info, and the Confidence Score.
Force Overlay Technology: Ensures all lines and labels remain visible and crisp on the top layer, above candles and other indicators.
How to Trade with the Elite Dashboard
Check the "Net Weekly Bias": Look for STRONG BULL or STRONG BEAR.
Verify Confidence Score: A score of 3 or 4 (or -3/-4 for shorts) indicates high-probability conditions.
Identify Entry: If the Bias is "STRONG BULL," wait for a retest of the Monday Mid (MID) or Monday High (MON H).
Confirm with Liquidity: Look for a LIQ BUY signal near the Monday Low for the highest-quality "A+ Setup."
Target: Use the Expansion Levels (+50% / +100%) as your primary targets for the week.
Technical Settings
Lookback Weeks: Choose exactly how many historical weeks to display to keep your chart clean.
Customizable Colors: Fully adjustable colors for Monday ranges and expansion projections.
Line Width: User-defined thickness for professional visual clarity.
3MA Alignment Ribbon [AlgoTraderPro]3MA Alignment Ribbon is a clean, visual trend-structure indicator based on the alignment of three moving averages.
Instead of focusing on crossovers, it highlights trend quality and direction by dynamically coloring the moving averages and the ribbon between them.
The goal is simple : See at a glance whether the market structure is bullish, bearish, or neutral.
⸻
How It Works
The indicator plots three moving averages (Fast, Medium, Slow) and evaluates their alignment:
Bullish → Fast > Medium > Slow
Bearish → Fast < Medium < Slow
Neutral → Any other configuration
The moving averages and the filled ribbon between them are automatically colored based on this alignment, making trend conditions immediately visible.
⸻
Key Features
✅Multi-MA Support
Choose between:
EMA (default)
SMA
WMA
VWMA
RMA
HMA
✅ Alignment Modes
Strict: classic Fast > Medium > Slow logic
Tolerant: requires a minimum percentage separation between averages to reduce noise in ranging markets
✅ Optional Slope Filter
Filter signals by requiring the slow MA to be rising or falling, helping avoid false trend states during flat conditions.
✅ Higher Timeframe (HTF) Ribbon
Overlay the same 3MA alignment logic from a higher timeframe on your current chart:
Fully optional
Correctly calculated on the HTF itself
Option to use confirmed HTF bars only (reduces repaint confusion)
✅ Alerts & Visual Signals
Alerts when alignment turns Bullish, Bearish, or Neutral
Optional on-chart markers when the alignment flips
✅ Custom Styling
Fully customizable colors and transparency
Designed to remain readable without cluttering the chart
⸻
How to Use It
This indicator works best as:
A trend filter for discretionary trading
A context tool for entries using other setups
A market structure overlay for scalping, swing trading, or position trading
It does not generate buy/sell signals by itself — instead, it helps you trade aligned with market structure.
⸻
Default Settings
The default lengths (50 / 100 / 200 EMA) are suitable for most markets and timeframes, including crypto, forex, indices, and equities.
Daily/Weekly Swing Highs-Lows + Candle PatternsDescription
Daily/Weekly Swing Highs-Lows + Candle Patterns
This indicator plots the most recent Daily and Weekly Swing Highs and Lows (key support/resistance levels) using a simple and effective logic: a swing high/low is confirmed when the previous bar's extreme is higher/lower than both the current and the one before it.
Features:
• Daily Swing Highs/Lows (teal/maroon circles) – toggleable
• Weekly Swing Highs/Lows (blue/purple circles) – optional
• Visual separators for new daily and weekly bars (light background color)
• Daily candle pattern labels (optional):
- US = Up Swing (strong bullish continuation)
- DS = Down Swing (strong bearish continuation)
- IN = Inside Bar
- OUT = Outside Bar
• Daily close position labels (optional):
- P = Positive (close in upper 25% of the range)
- mP = minor Positive (50–75%)
- mN = minor Negative (25–50%)
- N = Negative (lower 25%)
All elements are fully customizable (colors, visibility) and work on any timeframe.
Best suited for intraday timeframes (1 min to 4 hours) where daily and weekly key levels provide important context for price action and reversals.
The optional "Trading session length" input is mainly useful for markets with shorter sessions (e.g., European indices) and does not affect swing detection.
Open-source, free to use and modify.
How to Use the Indicator + Practical Use Case
Key Settings (Inputs)
Trading session length (hours) → Default 8.5 h (useful for FTSEMIB, DAX, etc.). Leave it as is unless you trade a market with a different session length.
Daily Swing Levels → Show/Hide daily swing highs (teal) and lows (maroon).
Weekly Swing Levels → Usually keep off on intraday charts to avoid clutter (turn on for higher-timeframe context).
Daily Candle Patterns → Enable only if you want to see US/DS/IN/OUT labels on the daily close.
Close Position (P/mP/mN/N) → Enable if you want to quickly see how strong/weak the daily close was.
What You See on the Chart
Teal circles = Last confirmed daily swing high (resistance).
Maroon circles = Last confirmed daily swing low (support).
Blue/purple circles (if enabled) = Weekly swing high/low.
Light gray background = Start of a new trading day.
Purple background (if weekly enabled) = Start of a new week.
Small labels on daily close (if enabled):
- US = strong bullish day
- DS = strong bearish day
- IN = inside bar (consolidation)
- OUT = outside bar (expansion)
- P/mP/mN/N = how far the close was from the high/low of the day.
Best Timeframes 1 min to 240 min charts → Daily levels act as major support/resistance zones for intraday trading.
Avoid using on daily or higher charts (the logic is designed for intraday context).
Why this works well intraday:
The daily swing high/low levels are high-probability zones where institutions and algorithms often defend positions. On intraday charts, they act as “magnets” for price, giving you clean entries and exits with clear invalidation levels.
This indicator keeps your chart clean while providing exactly the context most intraday traders need: key daily levels + daily momentum context.
Rainbow Road [kingthies]Rainbow Road
Rainbow Road is a trend-structure and momentum visualization tool built around a cascading chain of smoothed simple moving averages. Instead of plotting independent moving averages on price, each line is progressively smoothed from the prior one using the same length, creating a layered “road” that reveals trend strength, direction, and transition with exceptional clarity.
OVERVIEW
Rainbow Road visualizes trend quality using a spectrum of fast-to-slow moving averages derived from one another. Because each average is smoothed from the prior line, the indicator forms a continuous structure rather than a collection of unrelated signals. This makes trend alignment, momentum expansion, and compression immediately visible.
HOW IT WORKS
The first average is a Simple Moving Average of price
Each subsequent average is an SMA of the previous average using the same length
This creates a cascading chain of averages with increasing smoothness
Colors progress from red (fastest) to purple (slowest) to represent trend hierarchy
HOW TO READ IT
Strong Trend : All averages are aligned and expanding in the same direction
Acceleration : Spacing between averages increases
Deceleration : Spacing narrows while direction remains intact
Consolidation : Averages converge and overlap
Reversal Risk : Faster averages cross back through the slowest average
TREND CONTEXT
The optional fill between the fastest and slowest averages visualizes overall trend pressure. Expanding fill suggests strengthening momentum, while contracting fill highlights compression and potential regime change.
USE CASES
Trend confirmation and directional bias
Momentum expansion vs compression analysis
Identifying trend exhaustion and early reversal zones
Contextual filtering for entries and exits
WHY RAINBOW ROAD
Traditional moving average stacks often produce clutter and redundant signals. Rainbow Road focuses on structure and flow, helping traders evaluate the quality of a trend rather than reacting to individual crossovers.
BEST USED WITH
Price action and market structure
Support and resistance
Volatility or range-based tools
Higher-timeframe trend bias
Rainbow Road is designed to sit quietly on your chart and clearly communicate whether the market is flowing, stalling, or preparing to turn.
SMH DualMomentum Signals (ROC + Volume)SMH Dual Momentum (ROC + Volume Confirmation)
This indicator identifies high-quality bullish trends by combining price momentum (Rate of Change) with volume confirmation, and exits when momentum structurally fails.
Core Logic
BUY signal
Rate of Change (ROC) over N periods is above a positive threshold (strong upside momentum)
Current volume is above its moving average (rising market participation)
SELL signal
ROC crosses below zero, indicating loss of bullish momentum
Why It Works
ROC measures the speed and strength of price movement, filtering out weak or drifting trends
Volume confirmation ensures momentum is supported by real capital flow, reducing false breakouts
Momentum-based exit avoids prolonged drawdowns and capital stagnation
Key Advantages
Focuses on trend continuation, not prediction
Filters out low-quality price moves and range-bound markets
Captures long, high-conviction trends with relatively few trades
Simple, robust rules using only price and volume
Best Use Cases
Designed for trend-driven ETFs such as SMH (Semiconductors)
Suitable for swing to position trading on daily charts
Works best in markets with strong sector rotation and institutional participation
Notes
This is a trend-following momentum tool, not a mean-reversion indicator
No stop-loss is built in; risk management should be handled externally if required
Parameters can be adjusted to match different timeframes or assets
Monday Range - User Defined LookbackEnglish Description
Monday Range Expansion & Multi-Week Projections
This indicator identifies the Monday Range (the price action from Monday's open at 00:00) and projects symmetric expansion levels across the entire trading week. It is designed for traders who use the weekly open and Monday's volatility as a benchmark for the week's price action.
Key Features:
Exact Monday 00:00 Start: Using advanced logic, the indicator pins the starting point precisely to the weekly open (Monday 00:00), ensuring no lag or offset regardless of your timeframe.
Symmetric Expansion Levels: It calculates the Monday High-Low range and projects a +100%, +50%, -50%, and -100% expansion, providing clear support and resistance targets.
User-Defined Lookback: You can choose exactly how many past weeks to display on your chart, keeping your workspace clean and focused.
Force Overlay Technology: All lines and labels use force_overlay, ensuring they always stay on the top layer, above candles and other indicators.
Weekly Freeze: Historical weeks stay "frozen" at their Friday closing points, allowing for clear backtesting of previous weekly levels.
Daily SMA 20/50/100/200Simple Moving Averages indicator displaying four commonly used trend lines on the price chart. Plots the 20, 50, 100, and 200 period SMAs to help identify short-, medium-, and long-term trend direction, dynamic support and resistance, and overall market structure. Color-coded for clarity: 20 SMA in green, 50 SMA in blue, 100 SMA in orange, and 200 SMA in red, with uniform line thickness for clean visual consistency.
Market Pressure Regime [Interakktive]The Market Pressure Regime (MPR) is a 4-state market classifier that models how structural forces create "pressure zones" — regions where price movement is either supported (Release) or suppressed (Pinned) by market microstructure.
It combines compression analysis, follow-through efficiency, and stress detection into a composite pressure score, classifying markets into Release, Suppressed, Transition, or Trap states — helping traders understand WHY price is moving (or not moving) in the current environment.
█ USAGE
MPR addresses a core question traders face: Is the market in a regime where directional moves are likely to follow through, or is it structurally pinned?
For swing traders, MPR identifies Release phases where momentum strategies work best, and Suppressed phases where mean reversion dominates.
For day traders, it highlights Trap conditions — high effort with no follow-through — where reversals are probable and trend entries fail.
🔹 The 4-State Model
The indicator classifies markets into four distinct regimes:
• Release (Teal): Pressure score ≥ +5. Directional flow dominates. Price moves efficiently with follow-through. Favor trend continuation.
• Suppressed (Grey): Pressure score ≤ -5. Compression dominates. Price is range-bound or pinned. Fade extremes, expect reversion.
• Transition (Amber): Score between thresholds OR instability detected. Regime is uncertain — wait for confirmation before committing.
• Trap (Magenta): High stress + low follow-through. Effort without result. Expect reversals.
🔹 Reading the Pressure Histogram
The histogram displays the composite Pressure Score (range approximately -100 to +100):
• Positive values: Follow-through exceeds compression. Market is "releasing" — directional moves are supported.
• Negative values: Compression exceeds follow-through. Market is "suppressed" — price movement is constrained.
• Color reflects confirmed state: The histogram uses persistence filtering — a state must hold for N bars before the color changes, preventing false signals from noise.
🔹 The 5-Stage Calculation
MPR synthesizes five analytical stages into the final state:
1. Compression Score: Measures how tight the current range is relative to ATR. High compression suggests structural forces are pinning price.
2. Follow-Through Score: Measures price path efficiency (MER-style). Efficient moves indicate genuine directional flow, not chop.
3. Stress Score: Detects effort-without-result (ERD-style). High volume or range with no price progress = absorption.
4. Composite Pressure: Combines follow-through and compression into a single directional score.
5. Persistence Filter: Requires states to hold for configurable bars before confirming, eliminating flickering.
█ SETTINGS
Core Settings
• ATR Length: Period for volatility normalization. Default 14.
• Baseline Lookback: Period for compression and efficiency baselines. Default 20.
• Volume Average Length: Period for stress calculation baseline. Default 20.
State Classification
• Release Threshold: Pressure score above this = Release. Default +5.
• Suppressed Threshold: Pressure score below this = Suppressed. Default -5.
• Trap Threshold: Stress score above this (with low follow-through) = Trap. Default 30.
• Persistence Bars: Bars required to confirm state change. Default 3.
• Stability Lookback: Period for stability calculation. Default 20.
• Stability Threshold: Below this = forced Transition state. Default 0.5.
Visual Settings
• Show Pressure Histogram: Display the main pressure score histogram.
• Show Zero Line: Display the zero reference line.
• Show Background Tint: Subtle background color by state (default OFF).
Data Window
• Show Data Window Values: Export all calculated scores for analysis.
█ INTERPRETATION GUIDE
When to Use Trend Strategies (Release):
• Histogram tall and positive
• Teal coloring confirmed
• Price making efficient higher highs or lower lows
When to Use Mean Reversion (Suppressed):
• Histogram flat or negative
• Grey coloring confirmed
• Price oscillating without follow-through
When to Wait (Transition):
• Amber coloring
• Mixed signals — don't force trades
• Wait for state to resolve
When to Expect Reversals (Trap):
• Magenta coloring
• High volume moves that don't stick
• Often occurs at structural inflection points
█ COMPLEMENTARY TOOLS
MPR pairs well with:
• Volatility State Index (VSI) — Confirms whether volatility is expanding into the pressure regime
• Effort-Result Divergence (ERD) — Provides bar-by-bar absorption/vacuum detection
• Market Efficiency Ratio (MER) — Validates follow-through quality
█ SUITABLE MARKETS
Works across all liquid markets:
• Equities: SPY, QQQ, liquid single stocks
• Futures: ES, NQ, CL, GC
• Crypto: BTC, ETH
• Forex: Major pairs
Works on any timeframe, but 1H–Daily provides cleanest regime classification. Intraday (5m–15m) useful for session-level tactical decisions.

Candle Strength Analyzer by The Ultimate Bull Run# Candle Strength Analyzer
## 📊 Complete Beginner's Guide
---
### 🎯 What This Indicator Does
The **Candle Strength Analyzer** measures how "strong" or "weak" each candlestick is and displays a **score from 0 to 100** above or below every candle.
- **Green numbers** = Bullish (price went UP)
- **Red numbers** = Bearish (price went DOWN)
- **Gray numbers** = Doji (price barely moved)
**Higher score = Stronger candle = More reliable signal**
---
### 🕯️ Understanding Candlesticks (The Basics)
If you're new to trading, here's what a candlestick shows:
```
│ ← Upper Wick (prices that were rejected)
│
┌───┐
│ │ ← Body (the "real" price movement)
│ │ • Green/White body = Price went UP (Bullish)
│ │ • Red/Black body = Price went DOWN (Bearish)
└───┘
│
│ ← Lower Wick (prices that were rejected)
```
**Key Terms:**
- **Open**: The price when the candle started
- **Close**: The price when the candle ended
- **High**: The highest price during the candle
- **Low**: The lowest price during the candle
- **Body**: The rectangle between Open and Close
- **Wick/Shadow**: The thin lines above and below the body
---
## 📐 The 4 Components of Candle Strength
This indicator combines **4 measurements** to calculate the final strength score. Let's understand each one:
---
### 1️⃣ Body Ratio (30% of score)
**What it is:**
The percentage of the candle that is "body" versus "wicks."
**Formula:**
```
Body Ratio = Size of Body ÷ Total Candle Size × 100
```
**What it tells you:**
- **High Body Ratio (70-100%)**: Bulls or bears were in FULL control. The price moved in one direction and STAYED there. This is strong.
- **Low Body Ratio (0-30%)**: There was a fight. Price moved up AND down but ended up roughly where it started. This is weak/indecisive.
**Visual Example:**
```
Strong Candle (90% body): Weak Candle (20% body):
│ │
┌───┐ │
│ │ ┌─┴─┐
│ │ ← Mostly body │ │ ← Tiny body
│ │ └─┬─┘
└───┘ │
│ │
```
**How to interpret:**
| Body Ratio | Meaning |
|------------|---------|
| 90-100% | **Marubozu** - Extremely strong, full commitment |
| 70-90% | **Strong** - Clear winner (bulls or bears) |
| 40-70% | **Normal** - Typical market activity |
| 10-40% | **Weak** - Significant indecision |
| 0-10% | **Doji** - Complete indecision, no winner |
---
### 2️⃣ Close Position Score (25% of score)
**What it is:**
WHERE the candle closed within its range (high to low).
**What it tells you:**
- For a **bullish (green) candle**: Closing near the HIGH means buyers were still eager at the end = STRONG
- For a **bearish (red) candle**: Closing near the LOW means sellers were still eager at the end = STRONG
**Visual Example:**
```
Strong Bullish: Weak Bullish:
(closes near high) (closes near middle)
┌───┐ ← Close here │
│ │ ┌─┴─┐ ← Close here
│ │ │ │
│ │ │ │
└───┘ └───┘
│ │
```
**Why it matters:**
If price went UP but then sellers pushed it back down before the candle closed, that's a sign of weakness. The bulls couldn't hold their ground.
**How to interpret:**
| Close Position | For Bullish Candle | For Bearish Candle |
|----------------|-------------------|-------------------|
| 80-100% | Strong (near high) | Weak (near high) |
| 50-80% | Moderate | Moderate |
| 20-50% | Weak | Moderate |
| 0-20% | Very Weak (near low) | Strong (near low) |
---
### 3️⃣ Relative Volume - RVOL (25% of score)
**What is Volume?**
Volume is the NUMBER of shares/contracts traded during that candle. Think of it as "how many people participated."
**What is RVOL?**
RVOL compares TODAY'S volume to the AVERAGE volume.
**Formula:**
```
RVOL = Current Volume ÷ Average Volume (last 20 candles)
```
**What it tells you:**
- **RVOL = 1.0**: Normal activity (same as average)
- **RVOL = 2.0**: DOUBLE the normal activity (2x more traders involved)
- **RVOL = 0.5**: HALF the normal activity (fewer traders involved)
**Why it matters:**
A big price move with LOW volume is suspicious - it might not last.
A big price move with HIGH volume is confirmed - many traders agree.
**Think of it like voting:**
- High volume = Many people voted for this direction
- Low volume = Only a few people voted, decision might change
**How to interpret:**
| RVOL | Meaning | Signal Quality |
|------|---------|----------------|
| 2.0+ | Very High - Institutional activity likely | ⭐⭐⭐ Excellent |
| 1.5-2.0 | High - Significant interest | ⭐⭐ Good |
| 1.0-1.5 | Above Average | ⭐ Acceptable |
| 0.7-1.0 | Below Average | ⚠️ Caution |
| < 0.7 | Low - Lack of interest | ❌ Unreliable |
---
### 4️⃣ Size vs ATR (20% of score)
**What is ATR?**
ATR stands for "Average True Range." It measures how much the price TYPICALLY moves.
**What this component measures:**
How big is THIS candle compared to how big candles USUALLY are?
**Formula:**
```
ATR Ratio = This Candle's Size ÷ Average Candle Size (ATR)
```
**What it tells you:**
- **ATR Ratio = 2.0**: This candle is TWICE as big as normal = Significant move
- **ATR Ratio = 1.0**: This candle is normal sized
- **ATR Ratio = 0.5**: This candle is HALF the normal size = Minor move
**Why it matters:**
A 50-point move in a stock that normally moves 100 points is small.
A 50-point move in a stock that normally moves 20 points is HUGE.
Context matters!
**How to interpret:**
| ATR Ratio | Meaning |
|-----------|---------|
| 2.0+ | **Expansion** - Unusually large move, potential breakout |
| 1.5-2.0 | **Large** - Significant momentum |
| 1.0-1.5 | **Above Average** - Notable move |
| 0.5-1.0 | **Normal** - Typical movement |
| < 0.5 | **Small** - Insignificant, might be noise |

## 🧮 How the Final Score is Calculated
The indicator combines all 4 components with these weights:
```
Final Score = (Body Ratio × 30%) +
(Close Position × 25%) +
(RVOL Score × 25%) +
(Size Score × 20%)
```
**Result: A score from 0 to 100**

## 📊 Understanding the Strength Score
| Score | Classification | What It Means | Should You Trade It? |
|-------|---------------|---------------|---------------------|
| **70-100** | 🟢 STRONG | High conviction move, reliable signal | ✅ Yes - Good setup |
| **40-70** | 🟡 MODERATE | Average move, needs confirmation | ⚠️ Maybe - Add other indicators |
| **0-40** | 🔴 WEAK | Low conviction, unreliable | ❌ No - Wait for better setup |

## 💡 Trading Tips for Beginners
### ✅ DO:
1. **Wait for strong candles (70+)** before entering trades
2. **Confirm with volume** - Look for RVOL > 1.5
3. **Use at support/resistance levels** - Strong candles at key levels are more meaningful
4. **Combine with other indicators** - RSI, MACD, or moving averages
5. **Practice on demo first** - Learn to recognize strong vs weak candles
### ❌ DON'T:
1. **Trade every candle** - Not all candles are worth trading
2. **Ignore volume** - A strong candle with low volume is suspicious
3. **Fight the trend** - Strong bearish candles in an uptrend might just be pullbacks
4. **Over-leverage** - Even strong signals can fail

SMH_DualMomentum (ROC + Volume Trend)SMH Dual Momentum (ROC + Volume Confirmation)
This indicator identifies high-quality bullish trends by combining price momentum (Rate of Change) with volume confirmation, and exits when momentum structurally fails.
Core Logic
BUY signal
Rate of Change (ROC) over N periods is above a positive threshold (strong upside momentum)
Current volume is above its moving average (rising market participation)
SELL signal
ROC crosses below zero, indicating loss of bullish momentum
Why It Works
ROC measures the speed and strength of price movement, filtering out weak or drifting trends
Volume confirmation ensures momentum is supported by real capital flow, reducing false breakouts
Momentum-based exit avoids prolonged drawdowns and capital stagnation
Key Advantages
Focuses on trend continuation, not prediction
Filters out low-quality price moves and range-bound markets
Captures long, high-conviction trends with relatively few trades
Simple, robust rules using only price and volume
Best Use Cases
Designed for trend-driven ETFs such as SMH (Semiconductors)
Suitable for swing to position trading on daily charts
Works best in markets with strong sector rotation and institutional participation
Notes
This is a trend-following momentum tool, not a mean-reversion indicator
No stop-loss is built in; risk management should be handled externally if required
Parameters can be adjusted to match different timeframes or assets
ARM-EMA TREND BARSPrice action trading is about reading what the market is doing, so you can deploy the right trading strategy to reap the maximum benefits. In simple words, price action is a trading technique in which a trader reads the market and makes subjective trading decisions based on the price movements, rather than relying on technical indicators or other factors.
At its most simplistic, it attempts to describe the human thought processes invoked by experienced, non-disciplinary traders as they observe and trade their markets. Price action is simply how prices change - the action of price. It is most noticeable in markets with high liquidity and price volatility, but anything that is traded freely (in price) in a market will per se demonstrate price action.
Market Efficiency DashboardDescription
This indicator is an analytical tool designed to visualize the relationship between price action and market efficiency. Based on the Choppiness Index (CI), this indicator identifies whether the market is in a state of Range Contraction (Consolidation) or Range Expansion (Trending) . This implementation introduces a unique 50-pivot baseline to better differentiate between these two market characters, providing traders with an objective view of volatility cycles.
Key Features
Volatility Cycle Logic: A refined implementation of the Choppiness Index that assists in filtering market noise during low-volatility periods.
Pivot-50 Visualization: A custom geometric layout that separates range contraction from trend expansion for faster visual interpretation.
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Data Handling: Enables the monitoring of higher-timeframe efficiency cycles without switching charts.
Trend Context Filter: Integrates a 200-period EMA to provide a directional baseline relative to the current market state.
Real-Time Status Dashboard: A real-time data table providing a summary of current market efficiency and trend bias.
Signal Refinement: Includes optional smoothing (EMA/SMA/WMA) to reduce calculation "jitter" and provide clearer structural signals.
Inputs Overview
Choppiness Length: Sets the lookback period for the efficiency calculation (Default: 14).
Calculation Timeframe: Allows the user to select the source timeframe for the index data.
Smoothing Method: Users can choose between multiple moving average types to filter the raw index output.
Threshold Levels: Customizable Fibonacci-based levels (61.8 and 38.2) used to define the boundaries of "Choppy" and "Trending" environments.
EMA Filter: Toggle for the 200-period Exponential Moving Average used for directional bias.
How to Use
Context Identification: Observe the histogram’s position relative to the 50-pivot. Bars expanding upward toward the 61.8 level indicate the market is coiling/congested.
Trend Confirmation: Bars expanding downward toward the 38.2 level indicate the market is moving efficiently in a specific direction.
Bias Alignment: When the Trend Bias is Bullish and the state is Trending, price discovery is likely occurring to the upside. Conversely, a Bearish bias in a Trending state suggests efficient movement to the downside.
Risk Management: Rising choppiness levels often precede a period of trend exhaustion or reversal, signaling a potential time to reduce exposure.
How it Helps
This tool is designed to assist in objective decision-making by identifying the current "market character." By distinguishing between trending and non-trending environments, it helps traders select the appropriate strategy for the current context—avoiding trend-following entries during sideways markets and identifying when a market has entered a period of price expansion.
Alerts
Trend Starting: Triggers when the index crosses below the lower threshold, suggesting a transition into an efficient trend.
Squeeze/Consolidation: Notifies the user when the index crosses above the upper threshold, indicating range contraction.
Midpoint Cross: Signals when the index crosses the 50-level, marking a shift in market momentum.

Volatility State Index [Interakktive]The Volatility State Index (VSI) classifies market volatility into three behavioral states: Expansion, Decay, and Transition. It answers one question visually: Is volatility supporting price movement, withdrawing, or unstable?
Unlike traditional volatility indicators that show levels or bands, VSI diagnoses the current volatility regime so traders can adapt their approach accordingly.
█ WHAT IT DOES
• Classifies volatility into three states: Expansion (teal), Decay (grey), Transition (amber)
• Measures volatility momentum as a percentage rate-of-change
• Applies stability filtering to detect unstable/choppy conditions
• Uses persistence logic to prevent state flickering
• Exports state data for use in alerts and strategies
█ WHAT IT DOES NOT DO
• NO buy/sell signals
• NO entry/exit recommendations
• NO alerts (v1 is diagnostic only)
• NO performance claims
This is a volatility diagnostic tool, not a trading system.
█ HOW IT WORKS
The VSI processes volatility through a five-stage pipeline:
STAGE 1 — Base Volatility
Calculates ATR as the foundation for volatility measurement.
STAGE 2 — Smoothing
Applies EMA smoothing to reduce noise in the volatility series.
STAGE 3 — Volatility Momentum
Computes the percentage rate-of-change of smoothed volatility:
Volatility Momentum (%) = ((Current ATR - Previous ATR) / Previous ATR) × 100
Positive values indicate expanding volatility; negative values indicate contracting volatility.
STAGE 4 — Stability Filter
Tracks how frequently volatility momentum changes direction. Frequent sign changes indicate unstable, choppy conditions.
Stability Score = 1 - (Average Flip Rate)
Low stability forces the Transition state regardless of momentum level.
STAGE 5 — State Classification
Combines momentum thresholds and stability to determine the final state:
• Expansion: Momentum ≥ +5% (default threshold)
• Decay: Momentum ≤ -5% (default threshold)
• Transition: Between thresholds OR low stability
A persistence filter requires states to hold for multiple bars before confirming, preventing visual noise.
█ INTERPRETATION
EXPANSION (Teal)
Volatility is increasing in a sustained way. Price moves are becoming larger.
What it suggests:
• Breakouts are more likely to follow through
• Stops may need wider placement
• Trend-following approaches tend to work better
• Mean-reversion weakens
DECAY (Grey)
Volatility is decreasing. Price is compressing into tighter ranges.
What it suggests:
• Breakouts are more likely to fail
• Ranges tend to hold
• Trend-following underperforms
• Mean-reversion strengthens
TRANSITION (Amber)
Volatility behavior is unclear or unstable. This is NOT neutral — it is uncertainty.
What it suggests:
• Mixed signals — one bar huge, next bar dead
• Higher whipsaw risk
• Reduced conviction in either direction
• Consider waiting for clarity
The key insight: Amber is a warning, not a middle ground. It appears when volatility cannot decide what it wants to do.
█ VISUAL DESIGN
The indicator uses a state-first histogram design:
• Histogram height shows volatility momentum percentage
• Histogram color shows the classified state
• Zero line provides visual anchor
• Optional momentum line for confirmation
• Optional background tint (default OFF for clean charts)
The visual hierarchy prioritizes instant state recognition. A trader should understand the volatility environment in under one second without reading numbers.
█ INPUTS
Core Settings
• ATR Length: Base volatility measurement period (default: 14)
• Smoothing Length: EMA smoothing applied to ATR (default: 10)
• Momentum Length: Rate-of-change lookback (default: 10)
State Classification
• Expansion Threshold (%): Momentum above this = Expansion (default: 5.0)
• Decay Threshold (%): Momentum below this = Decay (default: -5.0)
• Persistence Bars: Bars required to confirm state change (default: 3)
• Stability Lookback: Window for stability calculation (default: 20)
• Stability Threshold: Below this = forced Transition (default: 0.5)
Visual Settings
• Show State Histogram: Toggle main display (default: ON)
• Show Momentum Line: Thin confirmation line (default: OFF)
• Show Zero Line: Baseline reference (default: ON)
• Show Background Tint: Subtle state coloring (default: OFF)
█ DATA WINDOW EXPORTS
When enabled, the following values are exported:
• ATR (Raw)
• ATR (Smoothed)
• Volatility Momentum (%)
• Stability Score (0-1)
• State (-1/0/1): Decay = -1, Transition = 0, Expansion = 1
• Is Expansion (0/1)
• Is Decay (0/1)
• Is Transition (0/1)
These exports allow VSI to be used as a filter in Pine Script strategies or alert conditions.
█ ORIGINALITY
While ATR and volatility indicators are common, VSI is original because it:
1. Classifies volatility into behavioral states rather than showing raw levels
2. Applies momentum analysis to volatility itself (rate-of-change of ATR)
3. Uses stability filtering to detect genuinely unstable conditions
4. Implements persistence logic to prevent state flickering
5. Provides a state-first visual design optimized for instant recognition
VSI is state-first: it classifies volatility regimes (Expansion/Decay/Transition) rather than plotting volatility level alone, using momentum and stability to reduce false regime reads.
This is not a modified ATR or Bollinger Band — it is a volatility regime classifier.
█ SUITABLE MARKETS
Works on: Stocks, Futures, Forex, Crypto
Timeframes: All timeframes — state classification adapts accordingly
Best on: Instruments with consistent volatility patterns
█ RELATED
• Market Efficiency Ratio — measures price path efficiency
• Effort-Result Divergence — compares volume effort to price result
