MFM - Light Context HUD (Free)Overview
MFM Light Context HUD is the free version of the Market Framework Model. It gives you a fast and clean view of the current market regime and phase without signals or chart noise. The HUD shows whether the asset is in a bullish or bearish environment and whether it is in a volatile, compression, drift, or neutral phase. This helps you read structure at a glance.
Asset availability
The free version works only on a selected list of five assets.
Supported symbols are
SP:SPX
TVC:GOLD
BINANCE:BTCUSD
BINANCE:ETHUSDT
OANDA:EURUSD
All other assets show a context banner only.
How it works
The free version uses fixed settings based on the original MFM model. It calculates the regime using a higher timeframe RSI ratio and identifies the current phase using simplified momentum conditions. The chart stays clean. Only a small HUD appears in the top corner. Full visual phases, ratio logic, signals, and auto tune are part of the paid version.
The free version shows the phase name only. It does not display colored phase zones on the chart.
Phase meaning
The Market Framework Model uses four structural phases to describe how the market behaves. These are not signals but context layers that show the underlying environment.
Volatile (Phase 1)
The market is in a fast, unstable or directional environment. Price can move aggressively with stronger momentum swings.
Compression (Phase 2)
The market is in a contracting state. Momentum slows and volatility decreases. This phase often appears before expansion, but it does not predict direction.
Drift (Phase 3)
The market moves in a more controlled, persistent manner. Trends are cleaner and volatility is lower compared to volatile phases.
No phase
No clear structural condition is active.
These phases describe market structure, not trade entries. They help you understand the conditions you are trading in.
Cross asset context
The Market Framework Model reads markets as a multi layer system. The full version includes cross asset analysis to show whether the asset is acting as a leader or lagger relative to its benchmark. The free version uses the same internal benchmark logic for regime detection but does not display the cross asset layer on the chart.
Cross asset structure is a core part of the MFM model and is fully available in the paid version.

$MTF Fractal Echo DetectorMIL:MTVFR FRACTAL ECHO DETECTOR by Timmy741
The first public multi-timeframe fractal convergence system that actually works.
Market makers don’t move price randomly.
They test the same fractal structure on lower timeframes first → then execute the real move on higher timeframes.
This indicator catches the “echo” — when 3–5 timeframes are printing fractals at almost the exact same price level.
That’s not coincidence. That’s preparation.
FEATURES
• 5 simultaneous timeframes (1min → 4H by default)
• Real Williams Fractal detection (configurable period)
• Dynamic echo tolerance & minimum TF alignment
• Visual S/R zones from every timeframe
• Bullish / Bearish echo convergence signals
• Strength meter (3/5, 4/5, 5/5 TF alignment)
• Zero repainting — uses proper lookahead=off
• Fully Pine v6 typed + optimized
USE CASE
When you see a 4/5 or 5/5 echo:
→ That level is being defended or attacked with intent
→ 80%+ chance the next real move comes from there
→ Trade the breakout or reversal at that exact fractal cluster
Works insane on:
• BTC / ETH (all timeframes)
• Nasdaq / SPX futures
• Forex majors (especially GBP & gold)
• 2025 small-cap rotation setups
100% Open Source • MPL 2.0 • Built by Timmy741 • December 2024
If you know about fractal echoes… you already know.

Tomo's Pivots // last W, last M, last Q, last30d, last90d.These are pivots that you can use to look back at various time periods to find magnetic Price points of support and resistance. There are: weekly, last 30 days, last month, last 90 days, and last quarter. You can change the color and style of every indicator and its label. So if it happens to be November 29 today, you will see the last 90 days representing 90 days before November 29. But you will also see last quarter which represents from July 1 to September 30. These values are fair value equilibrium price point by averaging the high low and close of that time period. Weekly is great for intraday trading and the last 30 is great for momentum. Consider using the monthly for swing trading. Stay in the green.

Renko + PnF Bias Overlay v6Description:
The Renko + PnF Bias Overlay indicator provides a synthesized directional bias derived from manual implementations of both Renko and Point & Figure charting methodologies applied to standard time-based price data.
The indicator calculates Renko brick movements based on ATR-derived brick sizes, creating a noise-filtered representation that only registers significant price movements exceeding the specified brick size threshold. Renko direction changes occur only when price moves a full brick size beyond the previous brick.
Simultaneously, the indicator implements Point & Figure box counting logic with reversal requirements, where directional changes require a minimum of three boxes in the opposite direction, providing additional filtering of minor price fluctuations.
By combining these two price transformation methodologies, the indicator generates a composite directional bias that emphasizes sustained price movements while filtering out minor fluctuations and noise. The resulting bias reflects the underlying trend direction as determined by both the brick-based momentum filtering of Renko charts and the reversal confirmation requirements of Point & Figure charting.
This approach provides a robust trend-following signal that requires both significant price displacement and sustained directional commitment before registering a change in bias.
@DARKPOOL Magnet - MEMEDescription:
The @DARKPOOL Magnet indicator identifies and displays significant price levels where institutional buying and selling activity has created persistent support and resistance zones. The indicator focuses on three primary types of institutional footprints:
Pin Zone Detection: Identifies price levels where multiple pin bars (high volume, narrow range candles) have clustered within a specified tolerance, indicating repeated institutional defense of those levels.
Whale Footprint Detection: Detects absorption events where significant volume occurs with minimal net price movement, suggesting large institutional orders being filled without allowing substantial directional movement.
Dark Pool Detection: Identifies potential dark pool prints characterized by unexplained price gaps that occur without visible tape activity, indicating off-exchange institutional transactions.
The indicator draws horizontal lines at these identified institutional price levels and highlights areas where multiple detection methods converge, creating confluence zones that represent higher probability support and resistance levels.
Confluence lines are displayed when multiple independently identified institutional levels occur within a user-specified proximity, providing visual emphasis on price levels with the strongest institutional interest.
Santhosh Zero lag Trend change AlertThis indicator alert whenever these is a change in trend direction. Change input to match with your Asset/Index. This works well in all time frame, I recommend this for Scalping and Position trading

Classic Wave: The Easy WayClassic Wave is a simple strategy with few rules and no over-optimization. Despite its simplicity, it is backed by a nearly century-long historical track record, delivering excellent returns on the weekly chart of the SPX (TVC).
I also recommend observing its strong performance on the SPY (weekly), which is the perfect instrument for executing this strategy with futures in the future.
Strategy Rules and Parameters
When a bullish candle closes above the 20-period EMA, we place the stop-loss below the low of that candle and target a risk-reward ratio of 1:1.
A second, more profitable variant is to change the risk-reward ratio in the code to 2:1.
-Total capital: $10,000
-We use 10% of the total capital per trade.
-Commissions: 0.1% per trade.
The code construction is simple and very well detailed within the script itself.
Risk-Reward Ratio 2:1
Using a 2:1 risk-reward ratio reduces the win rate but significantly increases profitability.
Across the full historical data of the SPX index (weekly), the system would have generated 236 trades, with a win rate of 51.27% and a profit factor of 2.53.
From January 1, 2023, to November 28, 2025, the system would have generated 5 trades, with an 80% win rate and a profit factor of 9.244.
What makes this system so good?
-It takes advantage of the long-term bullish bias of U.S. stock indices and traditional markets.
-It filters out a lot of noise thanks to the weekly timeframe.
-It uses simple parameters with no over-optimization.
Final Notes:
This strategy has consistently outperformed the returns offered by most traditional funds over time, with fewer drawdowns and significantly less stress. I hope you like it.

Trend Breakout & Ratchet Stop System [Market Filter]Description:
This strategy implements a robust trend-following system designed to capture momentum moves while strictly managing downside risk through a multi-stage "Ratchet" exit mechanism and broad market filters.
It is designed for swing traders who want to align individual stock entries with the overall market direction.
How it works:
1. Market Regime Filters (The "Safety Check") Before taking any position, the strategy checks the health of the broader market to avoid "catching falling knives."
Broad Market Filter: By default, it checks NASDAQ:QQQ (adjustable). If the benchmark is trading below its SMA 200, the strategy assumes a Bear Market and suppresses all new long entries.
Volatility Filter (VIX): Uses CBOE:VIX to gauge fear. If the VIX is above a specific threshold (Default: 32), entries are paused, and existing positions can optionally be closed to preserve capital.
2. Entry Logic Entries are based on Momentum and Trend confirmation. A position is opened if filters are clear AND one of the following occurs:
Golden Cross: SMA 25 crosses over SMA 50.
SMA Breakouts: A "Three-Bar-Break" logic confirms a breakout above the SMA 50, 100, or 200 (price must establish itself above the moving average).
3. The "Ratchet" Exit System The exit logic evolves as the trade progresses, tightening risk like a ratchet:
Stage 0 (Initial Risk): Starts with a standard percentage Stop Loss from the entry price.
Stage 1 (Breakeven/Lock): Once the price rises by Profit Step 1 (e.g., +10%), the Stop Loss jumps to a tighter level and locks there. This secures the initial move.
Stage 2 (Trailing Mode): If the price continues to rise to Profit Step 2 (e.g., +15%), the Stop Loss converts into a dynamic Trailing Stop relative to the Highest High. This allows the trade to run as long as the trend persists.
Additional Exits:
Dead Cross: Closes position if SMA 25 crosses under SMA 50.
VIX Panic: Emergency exit if volatility spikes above the threshold.
Settings & Customization:
SMAs: Adjustable lengths for all Moving Averages.
Filters: Toggle Market/VIX filters on/off and choose your benchmark ticker (e.g., SPY or QQQ).
Risk Management: Fully customizable percentages for the Ratchet steps (Initial SL, Stage 1 Trigger, Trailing distance).
Elite Commodities AIThe Elite Commodities AI indicator provides a comprehensive analytical framework designed specifically for commodities trading. It combines multiple technical components to assess price action within the unique characteristics of commodity markets.
The indicator incorporates the following key elements:
Multi-timeframe RSI analysis across the primary timeframe, 4-hour, and daily periods
Multiple exponential moving averages (fast, slow, and trend) to establish directional context
Volume rate analysis measuring current volume relative to recent average volume
Bollinger Band width analysis to identify periods of volatility contraction
True Range volatility expressed as a percentage of price
The indicator evaluates the interaction between momentum, trend structure, volume participation, and volatility dynamics, which are particularly significant in commodities markets due to their sensitivity to changes in supply-demand fundamentals and large institutional order flow.
By combining these analytical components, the indicator provides a layered assessment of price behavior that captures the interplay between trend development, momentum characteristics, participation levels, and volatility compression—key factors that drive commodity market movements.
This approach enables traders to identify significant price action within the context of prevailing market structure, making it suitable for analyzing both directional trends and consolidation periods that are common in commodity price behavior.2.2s
Elite Bond Market AIDescription:
The Elite Bond Market AI indicator provides a comprehensive analytical framework specifically designed for bond market price action.

This combination provides a layered analytical approach that captures the interplay between momentum, trend structure, participation levels, and volatility compression—key factors in bond market price discovery and directional moves.
Local Watchlist Gauge v6The Local Watchlist Gauge displays a compact monitoring table for a user-defined list of symbols, showing their current trend status and performance relative to their 52-week high.
The indicator presents a table that simultaneously tracks multiple symbols and displays:
• Trend direction for each symbol, determined by whether the closing price is above or below a user-defined moving average
• Percentage distance from the 52-week high, providing a clear measure of recent performance relative to the yearly peak
Each symbol is displayed with:
Trend indicator showing whether the symbol is in an uptrend (above moving average) or downtrend (below moving average)
Distance from 52-week high expressed as a percentage, with color coding to indicate proximity to recent highs
Green indicates symbols trading within 5% of their 52-week high, orange indicates symbols between 5% and 20% below their 52-week high, and red indicates symbols trading more than 20% below their 52-week high.
The table provides an at-a-glance summary of the trend status and relative performance of all symbols in the specified watchlist, allowing users to quickly identify which instruments are maintaining trend strength near their recent highs and which have experienced significant pullbacks from their yearly peaks.
Granville 8-Rule Engine — v6Description:
The Granville 8-Rule Engine systematically implements Joseph Granville's eight original trading rules, which provide a comprehensive framework for interpreting price action relative to a moving average to identify genuine trend changes and avoid false signals.
Granville's methodology focuses on the critical relationship between price movement and the direction of the moving average, recognizing that valid trend changes and continuations exhibit specific behavioral patterns while false breakouts and reversals show characteristic divergences.
The indicator evaluates all eight of Granville's rules and assigns a composite score based on their fulfillment:
Bullish Rules:
Rule 1: Price crosses above a rising moving average (+3 points)
Rule 2: Price remains above a rising moving average after testing support (+2 points)
Rule 3: Price remains above a rising moving average after penetrating below it (+1 point)
Rule 4: Moving average changes from declining to rising (+1 point)
Bearish Rules:
Rule 5: Price crosses below a declining moving average (-3 points)
Rule 6: Price remains below a declining moving average after testing resistance (-2 points)
Rule 7: Price remains below a declining moving average after penetrating above it (-1 point)
The indicator incorporates volume confirmation by adding or subtracting additional points when significant volume accompanies the fulfillment of bullish or bearish rules, respectively.
A buy signal is generated when the composite score reaches +4 or higher, indicating multiple bullish rules are simultaneously satisfied. A sell signal is generated when the score reaches -4 or lower, indicating multiple bearish rules are in effect.
This systematic approach filters out many false breakout and whipsaw signals by requiring multiple confirmatory conditions rather than relying on simple moving average crossovers. The scoring mechanism provides a quantitative measure of the strength of the prevailing trend relationship, enabling traders to distinguish between genuine trend development and deceptive price movements that fail to confirm with the moving average direction.
The Granville 8-Rule Engine provides a disciplined, rule-based method for determining whether price movements represent valid trend continuation, genuine trend reversal, or potentially misleading counter-trend activity that is likely to fail. By requiring multiple confirmatory conditions from Granville's established rules, the indicator helps traders avoid premature entries and provides higher-probability signals for participating in sustained trend movements.
Smart Money Toolkit - PD Engine Bias Map [KedArc Quant]Description
Smart Money is an advanced multi-layer Smart Money Concepts framework that automatically detects structure shifts, premium-discount zones, and institutional order flow.
It is built around the PD Engine, which calculates the midpoint of the most recent market swing and dynamically determines BUY or SELL bias based on where current price trades relative to that equilibrium. This toolkit visualizes structure, order blocks, and bias context in one clean map, giving traders an institutional-grade view without unnecessary signal clutter.
Why It Is Unique
- All CHoCH, BOS, Order Block, FVG, and PD logic are coded from scratch.
- Uses true equilibrium (50 percent PD midpoint) for dynamic bias.
- Optimized for stability and non-repainting behavior.
- Designed for clarity with minimal, performance-safe visuals.
Entry and Exit Logic (Discretionary Framework)
- This toolkit is not a signal generator. It provides market context that guides discretionary trading.
BUY Bias (Discount Zone)
- Price trades below PD Mid: the market is in discount.
- Wait for a bullish CHoCH or reaction from a demand OB or FVG before buying.
- Target 1 = PD Mid. Target 2 = next opposite OB or FVG.
SELL Bias (Premium Zone)
- Price trades above PD Mid: the market is in premium.
- Wait for a bearish CHoCH or reaction from a supply OB or FVG before shorting.
- Target 1 = PD Mid. Target 2 = next opposite OB or FVG.
Institutional concept sequence: Bias → Structure Shift → Confirmation → Execution.
Input Configuration
Swing Sensitivity - Determines how far back to identify HH and LL pivots.
OB / FVG Detection - Toggles visual Order Block or Fair Value Gap zones.
PD Engine - Shows PD midpoint line, zone shading, and bias table.
Multi-TF Bias Sync - Optionally reads a higher timeframe bias for confirmation.
Color Themes - Switch between light, dark, or institutional palettes.
Formula / Logic Summary
Concept Formula
PD Mid (Equilibrium) (Recent Swing High + Recent Swing Low) / 2
BUY Bias close < PD Mid
SELL Bias close > PD Mid
CHoCH / BOS Pivot-based structure reversal: HH→LL or LL→HH
Order Block Last bullish or bearish candle before displacement.
FVG Gap between prior candle high/low and next candle range.
These formulas follow the structure used in institutional Smart Money Concepts.
How It Helps Traders
- Shows institutional premium and discount zones visually.
- Defines clear directional bias before entry.
- Combines structure, order blocks, FVG, and equilibrium in one layout.
- Works on any timeframe or asset.
- Prevents emotional trades by giving objective bias context.
Glossary
PD Mid Midpoint between recent swing high and low (market fair value).

Ratchet Exit Trend Strategy with VIX FilterThis strategy is a trend-following system designed specifically for volatile markets. Instead of focusing solely on the "perfect entry," this script emphasizes intelligent trade management using a custom **"Ratchet Exit System."**
Additionally, it integrates a volatility filter based on the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) to minimize risk during extreme market phases.
### 🎯 The Concept: Ratchet Exit
The "Ratchet" system operates like a mechanical ratchet tool: the Stop Loss can only move in one direction (up, for long trades) and "locks" into specific stages. The goal is to give the trade "room to breathe" initially to avoid being stopped out by noise, then aggressively reduce risk as the trade moves into profit.
The exit logic moves through 3 distinct phases:
1. **Phase 0 (Initial Risk):** At the start of the trade, a wide Stop Loss is set (Default: 10%) to tolerate normal market volatility.
2. **Phase 1 (Risk Reduction):** Once the trade reaches a specific floating profit (Default: +10%), the Stop Loss is raised and "pinned" to a fixed value (Default: -8% from entry). This drastically reduces risk while keeping the trade alive.
3. **Phase 2 (Trailing Mode):** If the trend extends to a higher profit zone (Default: +15%), the Stop switches to a dynamic Trailing Mode. It follows the **Highest High** at a fixed percentage distance (Default: 8%).
### 🛡️ VIX Filter & Panic Exit
High volatility is often the enemy of trend-following strategies.
* **Entry Filter:** The system will not enter new positions if the VIX is above a user-defined threshold (Default: 32). This helps avoid entering "falling knife" markets.
* **Panic Exit:** If the VIX spikes above the threshold (32) while a trade is open, the position is closed immediately to protect capital (Emergency Exit).
### 📈 Entry Signals
The strategy trades **LONG only** and uses Simple Moving Averages (SMAs) to identify trends:
* **Golden Cross:** SMA 25 crosses over SMA 50.
* **3-Bar Breakouts:** A confirmation logic where the price must close above the SMA 50, 100, or 200 for 3 consecutive bars.
### ⚙️ Settings (Inputs)
All parameters are fully customizable via the settings menu:
* **SMAs:** Lengths for the trend indicators (Default: 25, 50, 100, 200).
* **VIX Filter:** Toggle the filter on/off and adjust the panic threshold.
* **Ratchet Settings:** Percentages for Initial Stop, Trigger Levels for Stages 1 & 2, and the Trailing Distance.
### ⚠️ Technical Note & Risk Warning
This script uses `request.security` to fetch VIX data. Please ensure you understand the risks associated with trading leveraged or volatile assets. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
