Multi-Mode Grid StrategyGrid Strategy (SIMPLE)
█ Overview
This script is a system trading tool designed to generate cash flow from market volatility without relying on short-term directional predictions. It operates on the principle of Grid Trading , creating a mesh of buy and sell orders within a user-defined price range.
The strategy automates the process of "buying the dip" and "selling the bounce" repeatedly. It is most effective in sideways markets or during accumulation phases where the price oscillates within a specific channel.
█ TRADING MINDSET & SETUP GUIDE
To use this tool effectively, you must shift your perspective from "Sniper" (trying to hit the perfect entry) to "Manager" (managing a zone). Here is the required mindset for setting up this strategy:
Shift from Prediction to Range Definition
Don't ask: "Will the price go up or down tomorrow?"
Ask instead: "What is the price range the asset is unlikely to break out of in the coming weeks?"
Your primary job is to define the Grid Top Price (Ceiling) and Grid Bottom Price (Floor). As long as the price stays within this "Arena," the strategy will continue to execute trades.
Embrace Volatility as Fuel
For a trend follower, chop/sideways action is a nightmare. For a Grid Trader, it is fuel. Every time the price crosses a grid line down, it builds inventory. Every time it crosses back up, it realizes profit. You want the price to wiggle as much as possible within your defined boundaries.
Capital Allocation & Survivability
The biggest risk in grid trading is the price crashing below your Grid Bottom Price .
Mindset Check: Before launching, assume the price WILL drop to your bottom price immediately. Can your account handle that drawdown?
The script includes leverage and capital percentage inputs to help you size your position correctly. Never allocate 100% of your capital to a tight range without understanding the liquidation risk.
█ HOW IT WORKS
Grid Construction:
The script divides the space between your Upper Border and Lower Border into specific levels based on the Grid Quantity .
- Arithmetic: Equal spacing between lines (Standard).
- Geometric: Spacing based on mathematical ratios (useful for wider ranges).
Execution Logic:
- Entry: When price crosses below a grid line, a Long position is opened.
- Exit: When price bounces back up by a specific number of grid levels (defined by "Distance of TP"), the specific position is closed for a profit.
Time & Backtesting:
You can set specific Start and End Times . This allows you to backtest how the grid would have performed during specific historical volatility events before deploying it on live markets.
█ VISUALIZATION DASHBOARD
To keep you informed without cluttering the chart, the script features an information table at the bottom right:
Cash Out: Total realized profit booked into the account.
Open Position: How many grid levels are currently active (holding bags) vs. total levels.
Open Trade: The current floating P/L of held positions (Unrealized).
Max Drawdown: The deepest drawdown the strategy experienced during the test period.
RISK DISCLAIMER
Grid trading involves significant risk, particularly in strong trending markets that break out of your range against your position. This strategy does not use a stop-loss per trade; it relies on the user defining a safe "Bottom Price" and allocating capital accordingly. Past performance in backtesting does not guarantee future results. This script is a tool for execution and analysis, not financial advice.

HTF High/Low Dashboard (Year→Month→Week→Day→4H) by MacphelixTake your multi-timeframe analysis to the next level with the HTF High/Low Dashboard. This indicator provides a clear, intuitive overview of whether the previous high and low levels of key higher timeframes (Yearly, Monthly, Weekly, Daily, and 4H) have been taken or not.
Features:
✅ Multi-Timeframe Coverage: Yearly, Monthly, Weekly, Daily, and 4H levels.
✅ Dashboard Display: Shows a clear YES/NO indicator for each timeframe, so you instantly know which levels are taken.
✅ User Toggles: Turn on/off each timeframe in the dashboard individually .
✅ Alerts: Optional alerts for when any HTF high or low is taken.
✅ Customizable: Adjust dashboard position to suit your trading style.
How It Works:
The script checks each higher timeframe’s previous candle to see if its high or low has been surpassed by the current price.
A YES in the dashboard means the level has been taken; NO means it hasn’t.
CDVI – First Crypto Dominance Volatility Index by Armi GoldmanThe Crypto Dominance Volatility Index (CDVI) is the first volatility-based indicator designed specifically to analyze the stability and instability of dominance flows in the crypto market.
Instead of measuring price volatility, CDVI focuses on the volatility of market dominance itself — a structural driver behind capital rotation cycles such as Bitcoin Season, Altseason, accumulation zones, and macro cycle transitions.
CDVI transforms dominance changes into a clear volatility index that highlights compression, expansion, and regime shifts.
How it works
CDVI calculates the absolute or percentage-based realized volatility of your chosen dominance benchmark (BTC.D, TOTAL.D, or any dominance index available on TradingView).
The indicator then:
1. Smooths the volatility curve using adjustable parameters
2. Builds a long-term mean to identify regime structure
3. Computes percentile zones over a rolling lookback window
4. Highlights high-risk and low-risk dominance conditions using color-coded backgrounds
This creates a clean, noise-reduced volatility representation of the dominance market.
Why it looks like this
The CDVI curve is intentionally smooth and cyclical because dominance volatility behaves differently from price volatility:
• Dominance tends to trend slowly, then spike violently during rotation phases
• Periods of prolonged compression often occur before large macro moves
• Volatility bursts cluster during transitions (e.g. BTC → Alts, cycle tops, market-wide repricing)
The percentile zones (90% / 10%) give structural thresholds for extreme conditions.
Background color reveals when dominance volatility enters these extremes, creating visually clear “regime blocks.”
How to interpret CDVI
High CDVI (above the 90th percentile):
• Dominance instability
• Capital rotation phases are active
• Market is repricing sector allocations
• Often appears near Altseason tops or bottoms
• Signals caution for trend traders and opportunity for rotation traders
Low CDVI (below the 10th percentile):
• Compression and calm dominance
• Accumulation and structural balance
• Often precedes major expansions in Bitcoin or Alt markets
• Useful for anticipating cycle transitions before they break out
Long-term mean:
• Helps identify when the market is in a high-vol or low-vol regime
• Crossings around the mean often coincide with early cycle shifts
How to use CDVI in practice
1. Cycle Timing
Use CDVI to detect when the market moves from calm → expansion or expansion → exhaustion.
Low CDVI usually precedes major moves. High CDVI often marks transition turbulence.
2. BTC vs Altcoins Rotation
Combine CDVI with BTC.D / TOTAL2 / TOTAL3 to detect rotation windows.
High CDVI = dominance is unstable → rotations happen.
Low CDVI = dominance is stable → trending environment.
3. Risk Management
High CDVI suggests elevated structural risk (dominance shifting).
Low CDVI supports directional conviction.
4. Confluence with Price
When both price volatility and dominance volatility expand together → macro transition.
When price is volatile but CDVI is flat → noise, not structural change.
Who this indicator is for
• Cycle analysts
• Macro crypto traders
• BTC vs Alts rotation traders
• Portfolio allocators
• Long-term investors looking at structural market phases
CDVI is designed as a clean, structural tool for understanding volatility not of price — but of market power distribution.
Trend Zones This tool helps you quickly understand the market’s direction and the strength of the most recent price move:
It identifies whether the market is in an uptrend, downtrend, or flat/sideways phase and clearly marks these conditions on the chart.
It can notify you when the trend changes, so you don’t have to constantly watch the screen.
Each alert includes:
The current closing price
The previous closing price
The difference between the two closes (how much price has moved in one bar)
This makes it easier to see not only what the trend is, but also how strong the latest price move is when the alert triggers.
ATR Risk Manager v5.2 [Auto-Extrapolate]If you ever had problems knowing how much contracts to use for a particular timeframe to keep your risk within acceptable levels, then this indicator should help. You just have to define your accepted risk based on ATR and also percetage of your drawdown, then the indicator will tell you how many contracts you should use. If the risk is too high, it will also tell you not to trade. This is only for futures NQ MNQ ES MES GC MGC CL MCL MYM and M2K.
Eggy Signal V2.1This script is a fully automated mechanical trading system designed to identify high-probability continuation setups based on significant market volatility expansions. It moves beyond simple crossovers or lagging indicators by analyzing price action structure and momentum velocity.
The algorithm detects specific "price disconnects" where aggressive buying volume has occurred, creating a high-value zone for potential re-entries. It waits for the market to efficiently rebalance and test these zones before signaling a trade, ensuring that you only engage with the market at discounted prices.
Key Features:
Algorithmic Zone Detection: The script automatically scans for significant volatility expansions. It uses an ATR (Average True Range) filter to ignore market noise and small fluctuations, focusing only on high-impact moves that indicate genuine institutional interest.
Smart Workflow (State Machine): Unlike standard indicators that spam signals, this tool uses a "State Machine" logic. It follows a strict discipline:
Phase 1 (Scan): Hunts for valid momentum zones.
Phase 2 (Wait): Projects a Limit Order setup (Entry, Stop Loss, Take Profit) and waits for the price to return (pullback).
Phase 3 (Active): Only activates the trade status if the price strictly touches the entry level.
Analysis Validation ("Missed Trade" Logic): A unique feature of this system is its ability to validate analysis even if no trade is taken. If the market respects the zone and hits the target without triggering your entry first, it marks the setup as "MISSED (Analysis OK)" in Green. This confirms the directional bias was correct, helping you build confidence in the algorithm without skewing your PnL.
Strict Risk Management: The system comes with a built-in, fixed Risk-to-Reward ratio (Default 1:2) to ensure positive expectancy over the long term.
How to Use:
Wait for the Setup: When a valid zone is detected, the script will draw the Entry (Blue), Stop Loss (Red), and Target (Green) lines. The status will read "WAITING".
Prepare Order: Place a Limit Order at the Blue line shown on the chart.
Execution:
If price touches the Blue line, the trade becomes "ACTIVE".
If price hits the Green line, it is a "WIN".
If price hits the Red line, it is a "LOSS".
Auto-Reset: Once a trade is concluded (Win/Loss) or invalidated, the drawings automatically clear to keep your chart clean for the next opportunity.
Settings:
Swing Length: Adjusts the sensitivity of the market structure detection.
Risk Reward: Define your target multiple (e.g., 1:2 or 1:1.5).
Minimum Zone Size (Volatility Filter): Filters out insignificant moves. Higher values = fewer but higher quality setups.

This indicator is a dashboard that simplifies the market’s current condition as a “fortune” by comprehensively evaluating the strength of multiple technical indicators. It allows you to check important analytical results at a glance without cluttering the chart with unnecessary lines.
🎯 How it works: Quantifying and integrating multiple indicators
At the core of this indicator is the process of quantifying four key aspects of the market—trend, momentum, volatility, and volume—assigning weights to each, and calculating an overall score.
How to use it
This indicator functions as a table (dashboard) displayed on your chart.
Check your “fortune for today” to get an overall view of the market’s current risk-reward profile.
Analyze the rows for each indicator to understand the factors behind the fortune.
For example: “The fortune is ‘moderately favorable,’ but volatility is very high (numerical value is large), which reduces the overall score due to its weighted impact.”
The table uses white text on a dark background, making it easy to read regardless of the chart’s color scheme.
⚙️ Customization (Settings Panel)
In the indicator’s settings panel, you can make the following key adjustments:
Type of Moving Average: Turning on use_ema allows the trend calculation to use EMA (Exponential Moving Average).
Weight Adjustment: You can adjust the weights of each indicator (e.g., w_trend, w_momentum) to modify the scoring logic according to your strategy (e.g., trend-focused, momentum-focused).
Use this “fortune chart” as a supplementary tool to objectively assess the current market conditions, rather than as the final decision-maker for trades.

TSO Lite v2 — Early Momentum Flip Signal (Free)✅ TSO Lite v2 — Momentum Ignition Signal (Free Version)
(Created by a Korean trader — structural momentum research)
Most indicators react late.
TSO Lite v2 shows the exact moment internal bullish momentum flips upward.
The green triangle is not decoration —
it’s the structural ignition point where upward momentum breaks above the internal zero-line.
👉 Zero-line breakout = internal momentum shift
👉 If the triangle appears, the shift is already underway
This signal is high-purity, valid only inside a bullish trend, and never repaints.
🔥 Why Lite v2 Feels Different
Structural momentum, not lagging averages
Valid only in bullish trend → naturally cleaner accuracy
No repainting
Detects transitions earlier than RSI / MACD
Minimal, focused, and fast
If the triangle shows → momentum is turning.
If it doesn’t → the market isn’t ready.

Dumb Money Flow - Retail Panic & FOMO# Dumb Money Flow (DMF) - Retail Panic & FOMO
## 🌊 Overview
**Dumb Money Flow (DMF)** is a powerful **contrarian indicator** designed to track the emotional state of the retail "herd." It identifies moments of extreme **Panic** (irrational selling) and **FOMO** (irrational buying) by analyzing on-chain data, volume anomalies, and price velocity.
In crypto markets, retail traders often buy the top (FOMO) and sell the bottom (Panic). This indicator helps you do the opposite: **Buy when the herd is fearful, and Sell when the herd is greedy.**
---
## 🧠 How It Works
The indicator combines multiple data points into a single **Sentiment Index** (0-100), normalized over a 90-day period to ensure it always uses the full range of the chart.
### 1. Panic Index (Bearish Sentiment)
Tracks signs of capitulation and fear. High values contribute to the **Panic Zone**.
* **Exchange Inflows:** Spikes in funds moving to exchanges (preparing to sell).
* **Volume Spikes:** High volume during price drops (panic selling).
* **Price Crash (ROC):** Rapid, emotional price drops over 3 days.
* **Volatility (ATR):** High market nervousness and instability.
### 2. FOMO Index (Bullish Sentiment)
Tracks signs of euphoria and greed. High values contribute to the **FOMO Zone**.
* **Exchange Outflows:** Funds moving to cold storage (HODLing/Greed).
* **Profitable Addresses:** When >90% of holders are in profit, tops often form.
* **Parabolic Rise:** Rapid, unsustainable price increases.
---
## 🎨 Visual Guide
The indicator uses a distinct color scheme to highlight extremes:
* **🟢 Dark Green Zone (> 80): Extreme FOMO**
* **Meaning:** The crowd is euphoric. Risk of a correction is high.
* **Action:** Consider taking profits or looking for short entries.
* **🔴 Dark Burgundy Zone (< 20): Extreme Panic**
* **Meaning:** The crowd is capitulating. Prices may be oversold.
* **Action:** Look for buying opportunities (catching the knife with confirmation).
* **🔵 Light Blue Line:**
* The smoothed moving average of the sentiment, helpful for seeing the trend direction.
---
## 🛠️ How to Use (Trading Strategies)
### 1. Contrarian Reversals (The Primary Strategy)
* **Buy Signal:** Wait for the line to drop deep into the **Burgundy Panic Zone (< 20)** and then start curling up. This indicates that the worst of the selling pressure is over.
* **Sell Signal:** Wait for the line to spike into the **Green FOMO Zone (> 80)** and then start curling down. This suggests buying exhaustion.
### 2. Divergences
* **Bullish Divergence:** Price makes a **Lower Low**, but the DMF Indicator makes a **Higher Low** (less panic on the second drop). This is a strong reversal signal.
* **Bearish Divergence:** Price makes a **Higher High**, but the DMF Indicator makes a **Lower High** (less FOMO/buying power on the second peak).
### 3. Trend Confirmation (Midline Cross)
* **Crossing 50 Up:** Sentiment is shifting from Fear to Greed (Bullish).
* **Crossing 50 Down:** Sentiment is shifting from Greed to Fear (Bearish).
---
## ⚙️ Settings
* **Data Source:** Defaults to `INTOTHEBLOCK` for on-chain data.
* **Crypto Asset:** Auto-detects BTC/ETH, but can be forced.
* **Normalization Period:** Default 90 days. Determines the "window" for defining what is considered "Extreme" relative to recent history.
* **Weights:** You can customize how much each factor (Volume, Inflows, Price) contributes to the index.

RC - Crypto Scalper v3Cryptocurrency scalping strategy for perpetual futures with risk management and automation capabilities.
## Strategy Overview
This strategy identifies high-probability scalping opportunities in cryptocurrency perpetual futures markets using adaptive position sizing, dynamic stop losses, and intelligent exit management to maintain consistent risk-adjusted returns across varying market conditions.
## Technical Foundation
The strategy employs exponential moving averages for trend detection, Bollinger Bands for volatility measurement and mean reversion signals, RSI for momentum confirmation and overbought/oversold conditions, ATR for dynamic volatility-based stop placement, and VWAP for institutional price level identification. These technical indicators are combined with volume analysis and optional multi-timeframe confirmation to filter low-probability setups.
## Entry Methodology
The strategy identifies trading opportunities using three complementary approaches that can be enabled individually or in combination:
Momentum-Based Entries: Detects directional price movements aligned with short-term and intermediate-term trend indicators, with momentum oscillator confirmation to avoid entries at exhaustion points. Volume analysis provides additional confirmation of institutional participation.
Mean Reversion Entries: Identifies price extremes using statistical volatility bands combined with momentum divergence, targeting high-probability reversal zones in ranging market conditions. Entries require initial price structure confirmation to reduce false signals.
Institutional Flow Entries: Monitors volume-weighted price levels to identify areas where institutional orders are likely concentrated, entering on confirmed breaks of these key levels with supporting directional bias from trend indicators.
Each methodology uses distinct combinations of the technical indicators mentioned above, with specific parameter relationships and confirmation requirements that can be customized based on trader preference and market conditions.
## Exit Framework
Adaptive Stop Loss: Uses ATR-based stops (default 0.7x multiplier on 14-period ATR) that automatically adjust to current market volatility. Stop distance expands during volatile periods to avoid premature stops while tightening during consolidation to protect capital. Alternative percentage-based stops available for traders preferring fixed-distance risk management.
Trailing Profit System: Employs a dual-target exit approach combining fixed limit orders with dynamic trailing stops. The system activates trailing stops when positions reach profitable thresholds, allowing winning trades to capture extended moves while protecting accumulated gains. The high fixed limit (6R default) serves as a ceiling for exceptional moves while the trailing mechanism handles the majority of exits at optimal profit levels.
Time-Based Management: Implements maximum holding period constraints (50 bars default) to prevent capital from being trapped in directionless price action. This ensures consistent capital turnover and prevents the strategy from holding through extended consolidation periods.
Breakeven Protection: Automatically adjusts stop loss to entry price plus commission costs once trades reach predefined profit thresholds (0.7R default), eliminating downside risk on positions that have demonstrated directional follow-through.
## Risk Management
Position Sizing: Dynamic position sizing based on account equity percentage risk model (2% default). Calculates optimal position size based on entry price, stop distance, and account risk tolerance. Includes maximum position exposure caps and minimum position size thresholds to ensure practical trade execution.
Daily Loss Limits: Automatic trading suspension when intraday losses exceed configured threshold (5% of equity default). Prevents catastrophic drawdown days and removes emotional decision-making during adverse market conditions. Resets automatically at the start of each new trading day.
Leverage Controls: Comprehensive leverage monitoring with built-in liquidation protection for margined positions. Strategy calculates liquidation prices based on leverage settings and automatically closes positions approaching critical margin levels, preventing forced liquidations.
Exposure Management: Multiple layers of position size controls including maximum position value as percentage of equity (50% default), leverage-adjusted margin requirements, and minimum capital availability thresholds before opening new positions.
## Market Filters
Session-Based Filtering: Configurable trading windows for Asian (00:00-08:00 UTC), London (08:00-16:00 UTC), and New York (13:00-21:00 UTC) sessions. Allows traders to focus on specific market hours or avoid illiquid periods based on their asset and trading style.
Volatility Requirements: Minimum and maximum ATR percentage thresholds ensure strategy only operates within optimal volatility ranges. Prevents trading during both insufficient movement periods and extreme volatility events where execution quality deteriorates.
Trend Alignment: Optional higher timeframe trend filter ensures directional bias aligns with broader market structure, reducing counter-trend entries during strong directional moves.
Volume Confirmation: Configurable volume requirements for entry validation, ensuring sufficient market participation and reducing false signals during low-liquidity periods.
## Automation Support
Built-in webhook integration generates JSON payloads compatible with popular broker automation platforms. Alert system provides comprehensive notifications for all entry signals, exit executions, risk limit breaches, and daily trading status updates. Supports both automated and manual execution workflows.
## Settings Explanation
Initial Capital: $5,000
Selected as realistic starting point for retail traders entering crypto futures markets. Strategy scales proportionally - larger accounts show similar percentage returns with proportionally larger absolute gains and position sizes.
Risk Per Trade: 2%
Conservative default providing significant drawdown tolerance. With 51% historical win rate and positive expectancy, risking 2% per trade allows for extended losing streaks without account impairment. Adjustable from 0.5% (very conservative) to 5% (aggressive, experienced traders only).
Leverage: 10x
Standard cross-margin leverage for cryptocurrency perpetual futures. Combined with 2% risk setting and maximum 50% equity position size caps, actual exposure remains controlled despite leverage. Built-in liquidation protection provides additional safety layer.
Commission: 0.055%
Modeled on major exchange maker fee structures (Bybit, Binance Futures).
**Slippage: 50 ticks**
Ultra-conservative slippage assumption representing extreme worst-case execution scenarios. ETH perpetual tick size is $0.01, therefore 50 ticks equals $0.50 per side or $1.00 round trip slippage per trade.
Real-world slippage on 30-minute timeframe typically ranges from 2-5 ticks ($0.02-0.05 round trip) under normal conditions, with 10-20 ticks during highly volatile periods. The 50-tick setting assumes every single trade executes during extreme market stress conditions.
This ultra-conservative modeling approach means real-world trading performance under typical market conditions may exceed backtest results, as the strategy has been tested under punishing execution cost assumptions that represent worst-case scenarios rather than expected outcomes.
Stop Loss: ATR-based (0.7x multiplier)
Volatility-adaptive stops optimized for 30-minute cryptocurrency perpetuals. The 0.7x multiplier balances protection against premature stops due to normal market noise. Lower multipliers (0.5-0.6x) suitable for lower timeframes, higher multipliers (0.8-1.2x) for higher timeframes.
Take Profit: 6R (Risk:Reward)
High target designed to work in conjunction with trailing stop system rather than as primary exit mechanism. Historical analysis shows most profitable trades exit via trailing stops at lower multiples, with the 6R limit capturing occasional extended moves. This configuration allows the trailing stop system to operate optimally while providing upside capture on exceptional price runs.
Trailing Stop: Activates at 1R | Offset 0.5R
Trailing mechanism engages when position reaches 1:1 risk-reward, then maintains 0.5R distance from peak favourable price. This configuration allows profitable trades room to develop while protecting accumulated gains from reversals.
Maximum Holding Period: 50 bars
Automatic exit trigger after 50 bars (25 hours on 30-minute timeframe) prevents capital commitment to non-trending price action. Adjustable based on timeframe and trading style preferences.

- Outperformance vs Buy & Hold: +156.3%
The strategy demonstrated profitable performance during severe market decline, with short positions showing particular strength (54.1% win rate on shorts vs 49.4% on longs). This validates that the edge is not dependent on bullish market conditions and the multiple entry methodologies adapt naturally to different market environments.
## Recommended Usage
Optimal Timeframes:
- Primary: 30-minute (tested and optimized)
- Alternative: 1-hour (more selective, fewer trades)
- Not recommended: <15-minute (execution quality deteriorates)
Suitable Assets:
High-liquidity cryptocurrency perpetual futures recommended:
- BTC/USDT (>$2B daily volume)
- ETH/USDT (>$1B daily volume)
- SOL/USDT, AVAX/USDT (>$100M daily volume)
- Avoid low-liquidity pairs (<$50M daily volume)
Risk Configuration:
- Conservative: 1-1.5% per trade
- Moderate: 2-3% per trade (default: 2%)
- Aggressive: 3-5% per trade (requires discipline)
## Important Considerations
Backtesting vs Live Trading: Always paper trade first. Real-world results vary based on execution quality, broker-specific factors, network latency, and individual trade management decisions. Backtest performance represents historical simulation with ultra-conservative cost assumptions, not guaranteed future results.
Market Conditions: Strategy designed for liquid, actively-traded markets. Performance characteristics:
- Strong trends: Optimal (trailing stops capture extended moves)
- Ranging markets: Moderate (mean reversion component provides edge)
- Low volatility: Reduced (ATR filter prevents most entries)
- Extreme volatility: Protected (maximum volatility filter prevents entries)
Cost Impact: Commission represents approximately 18.5% of gross profit in backtests. The 50-tick slippage assumption is deliberately punitive - typical execution will likely be 5-10x better (2-10 ticks actual vs 50 ticks modeled), meaning real-world net results may significantly exceed backtest performance under normal market conditions.
Execution Quality: 30-minute timeframe provides sufficient time for order placement and management. Automated execution recommended for consistency. Manual execution requires discipline to follow signals without hesitation or second-guessing.
Starting Procedures:
1. Run backtest on your specific asset and timeframe
2. Paper trade for minimum 50 trades or 2 weeks
3. Start with minimum position sizes (0.5-1% risk)
4. Gradually scale to target risk levels as confidence builds
5. Monitor actual execution costs vs backtest assumptions
## Strategy Limitations
- Requires liquid markets; performance degrades significantly on low-volume pairs
- No built-in news event calendar; traders should manually avoid scheduled high-impact events
- Weekend/holiday trading may experience wider spreads and different price behaviour
- Does not model spread costs (assumes mid-price fills); add 1-2 ticks additional cost for market orders
- Performance during market structure changes (regime shifts) may differ from backtest period
- Requires consistent monitoring during active trading hours for optimal automated execution
- Slippage assumptions are deliberately extreme; actual slippage will typically be much lower
## Risk Disclosure
Cryptocurrency trading involves substantial risk of loss. Leverage amplifies both gains and losses. This strategy will experience losing streaks and drawdowns. The 11.53% maximum historical drawdown in bull market testing and 18.54% in bear market testing do not represent ceilings - larger drawdowns are possible and should be expected in live trading.
Past performance does not guarantee future results. Market conditions evolve, and historical edge may diminish or disappear. No strategy works in all market conditions. The strategy has been tested with extremely conservative slippage assumptions (50 ticks per trade) that significantly exceed typical execution costs; this provides a safety margin but does not eliminate risk.
Capital at Risk: Only trade with capital you can afford to lose completely. The strategy's positive historical performance across both bull and bear markets does not eliminate the possibility of significant losses or account impairment.
Not Financial Advice: This strategy is an educational tool, not investment advice. Users are solely responsible for their trading decisions, risk management, and outcomes. The developer assumes no liability for trading losses.
Leverage Warning: Trading with leverage can result in losses exceeding initial investment. Ensure you understand leverage mechanics and liquidation risks before using leveraged products.

Smart Accumulation Pro – US SmallCap Edition v2
Smart Accumulation Pro v2 — US SmallCap Edition
Institutional Footprint and Structural Behavior Engine
Overview
Smart Accumulation Pro v2 detects structural behavior, internal liquidity shifts, and multi-phase accumulation footprints that are not visible through momentum or volatility indicators. The engine focuses on underlying institutional habits rather than reacting to price alone.
ULTRA — High-Threshold Structural Trigger
ULTRA appears only when multiple internal phases align simultaneously. It is not a momentum spike or volume anomaly. It represents compression pressure, phase readiness, and structural alignment. ULTRA does not repaint. When this signal appears, internal liquidity has already transitioned into an acceleration phase.
PRE — Early Structural Drift (Not a Buy Signal)
PRE should not be interpreted as a buy signal. It indicates gradual accumulation or controlled liquidity positioning. PRE usually appears during stable or quiet phases but rarely appears during panic drops or disorderly downtrends.
ACC — Transitional Footprint Signal
ACC identifies late-stage structural footprints. It is not intended as a standalone buy trigger. ACC highlights that structural preparation is underway, but direction and timing require user validation. ACC often precedes larger institutional behavior.
Philosophy
This engine does not attempt to cover every market pattern. It focuses on the highest-probability institutional habits. Exit timing, risk management, and execution remain user responsibility. The tool minimizes noise and emphasizes rare, high-impact structural zones.
Preset Modes
1) Conservative
For ETFs or stable large-cap instruments. Minimal noise and lower signal frequency.
2) Normal
Optimized for US mid-cap and small-cap behavior. Balanced and recommended as the default mode.
3) Aggressive
For volatile or thematic instruments. Higher frequency, higher risk.
Usage Notes
This indicator does not provide financial advice. It highlights structural conditions that often precede institutional movement. Execution and risk decisions depend on the user.

Smart Accumulation Pro v2는 세력의 습관, 유동성 이동, 압축 단계 등의 “보이지 않는 내부 구조”를 추적하는 지표다. 기존 모멘텀 기반 지표로는 포착되지 않는 패턴을 분석한다.
ULTRA 신호는 여러 내부 단계가 동시에 정렬될 때만 등장하는 극히 희귀한 트리거다. 페인팅이 없으며, 신호가 뜰 때 이미 내부 구조는 가속 단계에 진입한 상태다.
PRE는 매수 신호가 아니다. 세력이 서서히 움직이기 시작하거나 유동성을 재정렬할 때 나타나는 미세한 초기 흔적이다.
ACC는 본격 움직임 전에 나타나는 마지막 흔적이다. 단독 매수 신호가 아니며, 이후 더 큰 구조적 변화로 이어질 가능성을 나타내는 정도로 해석해야 한다.
이 지표는 모든 패턴을 잡지 않는다. 세력이 반복적으로 사용해 온 고확률 구조만 좁게 추적한다. 출구 전략과 리스크 관리는 사용자의 몫이다.
프리셋은 Conservative, Normal, Aggressive의 3가지 모드로 구성되며, 각각 안정형·균형형·변동성형 종목에 맞춰 설계되었다.

TSO PRO v2 Entry – Hybrid Flow Engine
TSO PRO v2 Entry – Hybrid Flow Engine
is an invite-only entry system created by a Korean trader and system developer,
specialized in structural momentum flow and transition timing.
This indicator is built on a dual-engine architecture:
✔ Lite Flow — Confirmed Entry Engine
Lite Flow uses TSO’s proprietary Flow Dynamics and zero-line structural shifts
—not moving averages or conventional indicators—
to detect the moment momentum actually turns in one direction.
It displays green (long) / red (short) triangular entry markers
only when internal flow confirms a real directional transition.
Traders may apply their own trend framework
(market structure, regime logic, price action, etc.),
and use Lite Flow entries as clean visual timing hints within that framework.
✔ PRO Flow — Hidden Leading Filter
PRO Flow analyzes internal momentum before Lite Flow triggers.
It does not show signals on the chart.
Instead, it filters out weak/false entries,
refines internal flow conditions, and adjusts background zones.
Only high-quality Lite Flow entries remain visible.
This Hybrid structure significantly reduces false breakouts
and provides confidence during live trading.
🔼 New in v2 — Long/Short Entry Arrows
Green triangle → Long timing hint during upward flow conditions
Red triangle → Short timing hint during downward flow conditions
TSO does not force a trend definition.
Each trader uses their own method,
and Lite Flow simply reveals the moment internal momentum supports that direction.
🔧 Features
Dual-engine Hybrid system (Lite Flow + PRO Flow)
Leading momentum filter (hidden PRO Flow)
High-precision non-repainting entry arrows
Background zones that reflect internal flow strength
Automation-ready structure (Webhook compatible)
PRO Flow logic fully protected (security locked)
⚠ Important
This indicator does not repaint.
PRO Flow formulas remain private for licensing and security.
Access is granted manually (invite-only).

Displacement Intelligence Channel (DIC) @darshaksscThe Displacement Intelligence Channel (DIC) is a clean, minimal, non-repainting analytical tool designed to help traders observe how price behaves around its dynamic equilibrium.
It does not generate buy/sell signals, does not predict future price movement, and should not be interpreted as financial advice.
All calculations are based strictly on confirmed historical bars.
⭐ What This Indicator Does
Price constantly fluctuates between expansion (large moves) and compression (small moves).
The DIC analyzes these changes through:
Displacement (how far price moves per bar)
ATR response (how volatility reacts over time)
Dynamic width calculation (channel widens or tightens as volatility changes)
EMA-based core midline (a smooth equilibrium reference)
The result is a smart two-line channel that adapts to market conditions without cluttering the chart.
This is NOT a fair value gap, moving average ribbon, or premium/discount model.
It is a purely mathematical displacement-ATR engine.
⭐ How It Works
The indicator builds three elements:
1. Intelligence Midline
A smooth EMA that acts as the channel’s core “equilibrium.”
It gives a stable reference of where price is gravitating during the current session or trend.
2. Adaptive Upper Boundary
Calculated using displacement + ATR.
When volatility increases, the channel expands outward.
When volatility compresses, the channel tightens.
3. Adaptive Lower Boundary
Mirrors the upper boundary.
Also expands and contracts based on market conditions.
All lines update only on confirmed bar closes, keeping the script non-repainting.
⭐ What to Look For (Purely Analytical)
This indicator does not imply trend continuation, reversal, or breakout.
Instead, here’s what traders typically observe:
1. Price Reactions Around the Midline
Price often oscillates around the midline during equilibrium phases.
Strong deviation from the midline highlights expansion or momentum phases.
2. Channel Expansion / Contraction
Wider channel → increased volatility, displacement, and uncertainty
Tighter channel → compression and calm conditions
Traders may use this for context only — not for decision-making.
3. Respect of Channel Boundary
When market structure respects the upper/lower channel lines, it simply indicates volatility boundaries, not overbought/oversold conditions.
⭐ How to Add This Indicator
Open TradingView
Select any chart
Click Indicators → Invite-Only Scripts / My Scripts
Choose “Displacement Intelligence Channel (DIC)”
The channel will appear automatically on the chart
⭐ Recommended Settings (Optional)
These settings do not change signals (because the indicator has none).
They only adjust sensitivity:
Center EMA Length (default 34)
Smoother or faster midline
Displacement Lookback (default 21)
Controls how much recent displacement affects width
ATR Lookback (default 21)
Governs how volatility is interpreted
Min/Max Multipliers
Limits how tight or wide the channel can expand
Adjust them cautiously for different timeframes or asset classes.
⭐ Important Notes
This tool is non-repainting
It does not use future data
It does not repaint previous channel widths
It follows TradingView House Rules
It contains no signals, no alerts, and no predictions
The DIC is designed for visual context only and should be used as an analytical overlay, not as a stand-alone decision tool.

Bollinger Bands HTF Hardcoded (Len 20 / Dev 2) [CHE]Bollinger Bands HTF Hardcoded (Len 20 / Dev 2) — Higher-timeframe BB emulation with bucket-based length scaling and on-chart diagnostics
Summary
This indicator emulates higher-timeframe Bollinger Bands directly on the current chart by scaling a fixed base length (20) via a timeframe-to-bucket multiplier map. It avoids cross-timeframe requests and instead applies the “HTF feel” by using a longer effective lookback on lower timeframes. Bands use the classic deviation of 2 and the original color scheme (Basis blue, Upper red, Lower green, blue fill). An on-chart table reports the resolved bucket, multiplier, and effective length.
Pine version: v6
Overlay: true
Primary outputs: Basis (SMA), Upper/Lower bands, background fill, optional info table
Motivation: Why this design?
Cross-timeframe Bollinger Bands typically rely on `request.security`, which can introduce complexity, mixed-bar alignment issues, and potential repaint paths depending on how users consume signals intrabar. This design offers a deterministic alternative: a single-series calculation on the chart timeframe, with a hardcoded “HTF emulation” achieved by scaling the BB length according to coarse higher-timeframe buckets. The result is a smoother, slower band structure on low timeframes without external timeframe calls.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
Baseline: Standard Bollinger Bands with a fixed user length on the current timeframe, or true HTF bands via `request.security`.
Architecture differences:
Fixed base parameters: Length = 20, Deviation = 2.
Bucket mapping derived from the chart timeframe (or manually overridden).
No `request.security`; all computations occur on the current series.
Effective length is “20 × multiplier”, where multiplier approximates aggregation into the chosen bucket.
Diagnostics table for transparency (bucket, multiplier, resolved length, bandwidth).
Practical effect: On lower timeframes, the effective length becomes much larger, behaving like a higher-timeframe Bollinger structure (smoother basis and wider stability), while remaining purely local to the chart series.
How it works (technical)
The script first resolves a target bucket (“Auto” or a manual selection such as 60/240/1D/…/12M). It then computes a multiplier that approximates how many current bars fit into that bucket (e.g., 1m→60m uses mult≈60, 5m→60m uses mult≈12). The effective Bollinger length becomes:
`bb_len = 20 mult` (clamped to at least 1)
Using the effective length, it calculates:
`basis = ta.sma(src, bb_len)`
`dev = 2 ta.stdev(src, bb_len)`
`upper = basis + dev`
`lower = basis - dev`
A “bandwidth” diagnostic is also computed as `(upper-lower) / basis` (guarded against division by zero) and shown in the table as a percentage. A persistent table object is created/deleted based on the visibility toggle and updated only on the last bar for performance.
Parameter Guide
Source — Input series for the bands — Default: Close
Use close for classic behavior; smoother sources reduce responsiveness.
Bucket — HTF bucket selection — Default: Auto
Auto derives a bucket from the chart timeframe; manual selection forces the intended target bucket.
Offset — Plot offset — Default: 0
Shifts plots forward/back for visual alignment, displayed in the data window.
Table X / Table Y — Table anchor — Default: Right / Top
Places the diagnostics table in one of nine anchor points.
Table Size — Table text size — Default: Normal
Use small on dense charts, large for presentations.
Dark Mode — Table theme — Default: Enabled
Switches table palette for readability against chart background.
Show Table — Toggle diagnostics table — Default: Enabled
Disable for a cleaner chart.
Reading & Interpretation
Basis (blue): The moving average centerline of the bands (SMA of effective length).
Upper (red) / Lower (green): ±2 standard deviations around the basis using the same effective length.
Fill (blue tint): Visual band zone to quickly see compression/expansion.
Interpretation staples:
Price riding the upper band suggests strong bullish pressure; riding the lower band suggests strong bearish pressure.
Band expansion indicates rising volatility; contraction indicates volatility compression.
Mean reversion setups often key off the basis and re-entries from outside bands, while breakout/trend setups often key off sustained band rides.
Diagnostics table:
HTF Tag: Human-readable label showing the current timeframe → bucket mapping.
Bucket: The resolved target bucket (Auto result or manual selection).
Multiplier: The integer factor applied to the base length.
Len/Dev: Shows base length (20) and the effective length result plus deviation (2).
Bandwidth: Normalized width of the band (percent), useful for spotting squeezes.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
HTF context on LTF charts: Use this as “slow structure” bands on 1m–15m charts without requesting HTF data.
Squeeze detection: Watch bandwidth shrink to historically low levels, then look for break/hold outside bands.
Trend filtering: Favor long bias when price stays above the basis and repeatedly respects it; favor short bias when below.
Confluence: Combine with market structure (swing highs/lows), volume tools, or a trend filter (e.g., a longer MA) for confirmation.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Repaint/confirmation: No cross-timeframe requests. Values can still evolve intrabar and settle on close, as with any indicator computed on live bars.
History requirements: Very large effective lengths need sufficient historical bars; expect a warm-up period after loading or switching symbols/timeframes.
Known limits: Because the method approximates HTF behavior by scaling lookback, it is not identical to true HTF Bollinger Bands computed on aggregated candles. In particular, volatility and mean can differ slightly versus a real HTF series.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Default workflow:
Bucket: Auto
Source: Close
Table: On (until you trust the mapping), then optionally off
If bands feel too slow on your timeframe: choose a smaller bucket (e.g., 60 instead of 240).
If bands feel too reactive/noisy: choose a larger bucket (e.g., 1D or 3D).
If chart looks cluttered: hide the table; keep only the bands and fill.

Dimensional Resonance ProtocolDimensional Resonance Protocol
🌀 CORE INNOVATION: PHASE SPACE RECONSTRUCTION & EMERGENCE DETECTION
The Dimensional Resonance Protocol represents a paradigm shift from traditional technical analysis to complexity science. Rather than measuring price levels or indicator crossovers, DRP reconstructs the hidden attractor governing market dynamics using Takens' embedding theorem, then detects emergence —the rare moments when multiple dimensions of market behavior spontaneously synchronize into coherent, predictable states.
The Complexity Hypothesis:
Markets are not simple oscillators or random walks—they are complex adaptive systems existing in high-dimensional phase space. Traditional indicators see only shadows (one-dimensional projections) of this higher-dimensional reality. DRP reconstructs the full phase space using time-delay embedding, revealing the true structure of market dynamics.
Takens' Embedding Theorem (1981):
A profound mathematical result from dynamical systems theory: Given a time series from a complex system, we can reconstruct its full phase space by creating delayed copies of the observation.
Mathematical Foundation:
From single observable x(t), create embedding vectors:
X(t) =
Where:
• d = Embedding dimension (default 5)
• τ = Time delay (default 3 bars)
• x(t) = Price or return at time t
Key Insight: If d ≥ 2D+1 (where D is the true attractor dimension), this embedding is topologically equivalent to the actual system dynamics. We've reconstructed the hidden attractor from a single price series.
Why This Matters:
Markets appear random in one dimension (price chart). But in reconstructed phase space, structure emerges—attractors, limit cycles, strange attractors. When we identify these structures, we can detect:
• Stable regions : Predictable behavior (trade opportunities)
• Chaotic regions : Unpredictable behavior (avoid trading)
• Critical transitions : Phase changes between regimes
Phase Space Magnitude Calculation:
phase_magnitude = sqrt(Σ ² for i = 0 to d-1)
This measures the "energy" or "momentum" of the market trajectory through phase space. High magnitude = strong directional move. Low magnitude = consolidation.
📊 RECURRENCE QUANTIFICATION ANALYSIS (RQA)
Once phase space is reconstructed, we analyze its recurrence structure —when does the system return near previous states?
Recurrence Plot Foundation:
A recurrence occurs when two phase space points are closer than threshold ε:
R(i,j) = 1 if ||X(i) - X(j)|| < ε, else 0
This creates a binary matrix showing when the system revisits similar states.
Key RQA Metrics:
1. Recurrence Rate (RR):
RR = (Number of recurrent points) / (Total possible pairs)
• RR near 0: System never repeats (highly stochastic)
• RR = 0.1-0.3: Moderate recurrence (tradeable patterns)
• RR > 0.5: System stuck in attractor (ranging market)
• RR near 1: System frozen (no dynamics)
Interpretation: Moderate recurrence is optimal —patterns exist but market isn't stuck.
2. Determinism (DET):
Measures what fraction of recurrences form diagonal structures in the recurrence plot. Diagonals indicate deterministic evolution (trajectory follows predictable paths).
DET = (Recurrence points on diagonals) / (Total recurrence points)
• DET < 0.3: Random dynamics
• DET = 0.3-0.7: Moderate determinism (patterns with noise)
• DET > 0.7: Strong determinism (technical patterns reliable)
Trading Implication: Signals are prioritized when DET > 0.3 (deterministic state) and RR is moderate (not stuck).
Threshold Selection (ε):
Default ε = 0.10 × std_dev means two states are "recurrent" if within 10% of a standard deviation. This is tight enough to require genuine similarity but loose enough to find patterns.
🔬 PERMUTATION ENTROPY: COMPLEXITY MEASUREMENT
Permutation entropy measures the complexity of a time series by analyzing the distribution of ordinal patterns.
Algorithm (Bandt & Pompe, 2002):
1. Take overlapping windows of length n (default n=4)
2. For each window, record the rank order pattern
Example: → pattern (ranks from lowest to highest)
3. Count frequency of each possible pattern
4. Calculate Shannon entropy of pattern distribution
Mathematical Formula:
H_perm = -Σ p(π) · ln(p(π))
Where π ranges over all n! possible permutations, p(π) is the probability of pattern π.
Normalized to :
H_norm = H_perm / ln(n!)
Interpretation:
• H < 0.3 : Very ordered, crystalline structure (strong trending)
• H = 0.3-0.5 : Ordered regime (tradeable with patterns)
• H = 0.5-0.7 : Moderate complexity (mixed conditions)
• H = 0.7-0.85 : Complex dynamics (challenging to trade)
• H > 0.85 : Maximum entropy (nearly random, avoid)
Entropy Regime Classification:
DRP classifies markets into five entropy regimes:
• CRYSTALLINE (H < 0.3): Maximum order, persistent trends
• ORDERED (H < 0.5): Clear patterns, momentum strategies work
• MODERATE (H < 0.7): Mixed dynamics, adaptive required
• COMPLEX (H < 0.85): High entropy, mean reversion better
• CHAOTIC (H ≥ 0.85): Near-random, minimize trading
Why Permutation Entropy?
Unlike traditional entropy methods requiring binning continuous data (losing information), permutation entropy:
• Works directly on time series
• Robust to monotonic transformations
• Computationally efficient
• Captures temporal structure, not just distribution
• Immune to outliers (uses ranks, not values)
⚡ LYAPUNOV EXPONENT: CHAOS vs STABILITY
The Lyapunov exponent λ measures sensitivity to initial conditions —the hallmark of chaos.
Physical Meaning:
Two trajectories starting infinitely close will diverge at exponential rate e^(λt):
Distance(t) ≈ Distance(0) × e^(λt)
Interpretation:
• λ > 0 : Positive Lyapunov exponent = CHAOS
- Small errors grow exponentially
- Long-term prediction impossible
- System is sensitive, unpredictable
- AVOID TRADING
• λ ≈ 0 : Near-zero = CRITICAL STATE
- Edge of chaos
- Transition zone between order and disorder
- Moderate predictability
- PROCEED WITH CAUTION
• λ < 0 : Negative Lyapunov exponent = STABLE
- Small errors decay
- Trajectories converge
- System is predictable
- OPTIMAL FOR TRADING
Estimation Method:
DRP estimates λ by tracking how quickly nearby states diverge over a rolling window (default 20 bars):
For each bar i in window:
δ₀ = |x - x | (initial separation)
δ₁ = |x - x | (previous separation)
if δ₁ > 0:
ratio = δ₀ / δ₁
log_ratios += ln(ratio)
λ ≈ average(log_ratios)
Stability Classification:
• STABLE : λ < 0 (negative growth rate)
• CRITICAL : |λ| < 0.1 (near neutral)
• CHAOTIC : λ > 0.2 (strong positive growth)
Signal Filtering:
By default, NEXUS requires λ < 0 (stable regime) for signal confirmation. This filters out trades during chaotic periods when technical patterns break down.
📐 HIGUCHI FRACTAL DIMENSION
Fractal dimension measures self-similarity and complexity of the price trajectory.
Theoretical Background:
A curve's fractal dimension D ranges from 1 (smooth line) to 2 (space-filling curve):
• D ≈ 1.0 : Smooth, persistent trending
• D ≈ 1.5 : Random walk (Brownian motion)
• D ≈ 2.0 : Highly irregular, space-filling
Higuchi Method (1988):
For a time series of length N, construct k different curves by taking every k-th point:
L(k) = (1/k) × Σ|x - x | × (N-1)/(⌊(N-m)/k⌋ × k)
For different values of k (1 to k_max), calculate L(k). The fractal dimension is the slope of log(L(k)) vs log(1/k):
D = slope of log(L) vs log(1/k)
Market Interpretation:
• D < 1.35 : Strong trending, persistent (Hurst > 0.5)
- TRENDING regime
- Momentum strategies favored
- Breakouts likely to continue
• D = 1.35-1.45 : Moderate persistence
- PERSISTENT regime
- Trend-following with caution
- Patterns have meaning
• D = 1.45-1.55 : Random walk territory
- RANDOM regime
- Efficiency hypothesis holds
- Technical analysis least reliable
• D = 1.55-1.65 : Anti-persistent (mean-reverting)
- ANTI-PERSISTENT regime
- Oscillator strategies work
- Overbought/oversold meaningful
• D > 1.65 : Highly complex, choppy
- COMPLEX regime
- Avoid directional bets
- Wait for regime change
Signal Filtering:
Resonance signals (secondary signal type) require D < 1.5, indicating trending or persistent dynamics where momentum has meaning.
🔗 TRANSFER ENTROPY: CAUSAL INFORMATION FLOW
Transfer entropy measures directed causal influence between time series—not just correlation, but actual information transfer.
Schreiber's Definition (2000):
Transfer entropy from X to Y measures how much knowing X's past reduces uncertainty about Y's future:
TE(X→Y) = H(Y_future | Y_past) - H(Y_future | Y_past, X_past)
Where H is Shannon entropy.
Key Properties:
1. Directional : TE(X→Y) ≠ TE(Y→X) in general
2. Non-linear : Detects complex causal relationships
3. Model-free : No assumptions about functional form
4. Lag-independent : Captures delayed causal effects
Three Causal Flows Measured:
1. Volume → Price (TE_V→P):
Measures how much volume patterns predict price changes.
• TE > 0 : Volume provides predictive information about price
- Institutional participation driving moves
- Volume confirms direction
- High reliability
• TE ≈ 0 : No causal flow (weak volume/price relationship)
- Volume uninformative
- Caution on signals
• TE < 0 (rare): Suggests price leading volume
- Potentially manipulated or thin market
2. Volatility → Momentum (TE_σ→M):
Does volatility expansion predict momentum changes?
• Positive TE : Volatility precedes momentum shifts
- Breakout dynamics
- Regime transitions
3. Structure → Price (TE_S→P):
Do support/resistance patterns causally influence price?
• Positive TE : Structural levels have causal impact
- Technical levels matter
- Market respects structure
Net Causal Flow:
Net_Flow = TE_V→P + 0.5·TE_σ→M + TE_S→P
• Net > +0.1 : Bullish causal structure
• Net < -0.1 : Bearish causal structure
• |Net| < 0.1 : Neutral/unclear causation
Causal Gate:
For signal confirmation, NEXUS requires:
• Buy signals : TE_V→P > 0 AND Net_Flow > 0.05
• Sell signals : TE_V→P > 0 AND Net_Flow < -0.05
This ensures volume is actually driving price (causal support exists), not just correlated noise.
Implementation Note:
Computing true transfer entropy requires discretizing continuous data into bins (default 6 bins) and estimating joint probability distributions. NEXUS uses a hybrid approach combining TE theory with autocorrelation structure and lagged cross-correlation to approximate information transfer in computationally efficient manner.
🌊 HILBERT PHASE COHERENCE
Phase coherence measures synchronization across market dimensions using Hilbert transform analysis.
Hilbert Transform Theory:
For a signal x(t), the Hilbert transform H (t) creates an analytic signal:
z(t) = x(t) + i·H (t) = A(t)·e^(iφ(t))
Where:
• A(t) = Instantaneous amplitude
• φ(t) = Instantaneous phase
Instantaneous Phase:
φ(t) = arctan(H (t) / x(t))
The phase represents where the signal is in its natural cycle—analogous to position on a unit circle.
Four Dimensions Analyzed:
1. Momentum Phase : Phase of price rate-of-change
2. Volume Phase : Phase of volume intensity
3. Volatility Phase : Phase of ATR cycles
4. Structure Phase : Phase of position within range
Phase Locking Value (PLV):
For two signals with phases φ₁(t) and φ₂(t), PLV measures phase synchronization:
PLV = |⟨e^(i(φ₁(t) - φ₂(t)))⟩|
Where ⟨·⟩ is time average over window.
Interpretation:
• PLV = 0 : Completely random phase relationship (no synchronization)
• PLV = 0.5 : Moderate phase locking
• PLV = 1 : Perfect synchronization (phases locked)
Pairwise PLV Calculations:
• PLV_momentum-volume : Are momentum and volume cycles synchronized?
• PLV_momentum-structure : Are momentum cycles aligned with structure?
• PLV_volume-structure : Are volume and structural patterns in phase?
Overall Phase Coherence:
Coherence = (PLV_mom-vol + PLV_mom-struct + PLV_vol-struct) / 3
Signal Confirmation:
Emergence signals require coherence ≥ threshold (default 0.70):
• Below 0.70: Dimensions not synchronized, no coherent market state
• Above 0.70: Dimensions in phase, coherent behavior emerging
Coherence Direction:
The summed phase angles indicate whether synchronized dimensions point bullish or bearish:
Direction = sin(φ_momentum) + 0.5·sin(φ_volume) + 0.5·sin(φ_structure)
• Direction > 0 : Phases pointing upward (bullish synchronization)
• Direction < 0 : Phases pointing downward (bearish synchronization)
🌀 EMERGENCE SCORE: MULTI-DIMENSIONAL ALIGNMENT
The emergence score aggregates all complexity metrics into a single 0-1 value representing market coherence.
Eight Components with Weights:
1. Phase Coherence (20%):
Direct contribution: coherence × 0.20
Measures dimensional synchronization.
2. Entropy Regime (15%):
Contribution: (0.6 - H_perm) / 0.6 × 0.15 if H < 0.6, else 0
Rewards low entropy (ordered, predictable states).
3. Lyapunov Stability (12%):
• λ < 0 (stable): +0.12
• |λ| < 0.1 (critical): +0.08
• λ > 0.2 (chaotic): +0.0
Requires stable, predictable dynamics.
4. Fractal Dimension Trending (12%):
Contribution: (1.45 - D) / 0.45 × 0.12 if D < 1.45, else 0
Rewards trending fractal structure (D < 1.45).
5. Dimensional Resonance (12%):
Contribution: |dimensional_resonance| × 0.12
Measures alignment across momentum, volume, structure, volatility dimensions.
6. Causal Flow Strength (9%):
Contribution: |net_causal_flow| × 0.09
Rewards strong causal relationships.
7. Phase Space Embedding (10%):
Contribution: min(|phase_magnitude_norm|, 3.0) / 3.0 × 0.10 if |magnitude| > 1.0
Rewards strong trajectory in reconstructed phase space.
8. Recurrence Quality (10%):
Contribution: determinism × 0.10 if DET > 0.3 AND 0.1 < RR < 0.8
Rewards deterministic patterns with moderate recurrence.
Total Emergence Score:
E = Σ(components) ∈
Capped at 1.0 maximum.
Emergence Direction:
Separate calculation determining bullish vs bearish:
• Dimensional resonance sign
• Net causal flow sign
• Phase magnitude correlation with momentum
Signal Threshold:
Default emergence_threshold = 0.75 means 75% of maximum possible emergence score required to trigger signals.
Why Emergence Matters:
Traditional indicators measure single dimensions. Emergence detects self-organization —when multiple independent dimensions spontaneously align. This is the market equivalent of a phase transition in physics, where microscopic chaos gives way to macroscopic order.
These are the highest-probability trade opportunities because the entire system is resonating in the same direction.
🎯 SIGNAL GENERATION: EMERGENCE vs RESONANCE
DRP generates two tiers of signals with different requirements:
TIER 1: EMERGENCE SIGNALS (Primary)
Requirements:
1. Emergence score ≥ threshold (default 0.75)
2. Phase coherence ≥ threshold (default 0.70)
3. Emergence direction > 0.2 (bullish) or < -0.2 (bearish)
4. Causal gate passed (if enabled): TE_V→P > 0 and net_flow confirms direction
5. Stability zone (if enabled): λ < 0 or |λ| < 0.1
6. Price confirmation: Close > open (bulls) or close < open (bears)
7. Cooldown satisfied: bars_since_signal ≥ cooldown_period
EMERGENCE BUY:
• All above conditions met with bullish direction
• Market has achieved coherent bullish state
• Multiple dimensions synchronized upward
EMERGENCE SELL:
• All above conditions met with bearish direction
• Market has achieved coherent bearish state
• Multiple dimensions synchronized downward
Premium Emergence:
When signal_quality (emergence_score × phase_coherence) > 0.7:
• Displayed as ★ star symbol
• Highest conviction trades
• Maximum dimensional alignment
Standard Emergence:
When signal_quality 0.5-0.7:
• Displayed as ◆ diamond symbol
• Strong signals but not perfect alignment
TIER 2: RESONANCE SIGNALS (Secondary)
Requirements:
1. Dimensional resonance > +0.6 (bullish) or < -0.6 (bearish)
2. Fractal dimension < 1.5 (trending/persistent regime)
3. Price confirmation matches direction
4. NOT in chaotic regime (λ < 0.2)
5. Cooldown satisfied
6. NO emergence signal firing (resonance is fallback)
RESONANCE BUY:
• Dimensional alignment without full emergence
• Trending fractal structure
• Moderate conviction
RESONANCE SELL:
• Dimensional alignment without full emergence
• Bearish resonance with trending structure
• Moderate conviction
Displayed as small ▲/▼ triangles with transparency.
Signal Hierarchy:
IF emergence conditions met:
Fire EMERGENCE signal (★ or ◆)
ELSE IF resonance conditions met:
Fire RESONANCE signal (▲ or ▼)
ELSE:
No signal
Cooldown System:
After any signal fires, cooldown_period (default 5 bars) must elapse before next signal. This prevents signal clustering during persistent conditions.
Cooldown tracks using bar_index:
bars_since_signal = current_bar_index - last_signal_bar_index
cooldown_ok = bars_since_signal >= cooldown_period
🎨 VISUAL SYSTEM: MULTI-LAYER COMPLEXITY
DRP provides rich visual feedback across four distinct layers:
LAYER 1: COHERENCE FIELD (Background)
Colored background intensity based on phase coherence:
• No background : Coherence < 0.5 (incoherent state)
• Faint glow : Coherence 0.5-0.7 (building coherence)
• Stronger glow : Coherence > 0.7 (coherent state)
Color:
• Cyan/teal: Bullish coherence (direction > 0)
• Red/magenta: Bearish coherence (direction < 0)
• Blue: Neutral coherence (direction ≈ 0)
Transparency: 98 minus (coherence_intensity × 10), so higher coherence = more visible.
LAYER 2: STABILITY/CHAOS ZONES
Background color indicating Lyapunov regime:
• Green tint (95% transparent): λ < 0, STABLE zone
- Safe to trade
- Patterns meaningful
• Gold tint (90% transparent): |λ| < 0.1, CRITICAL zone
- Edge of chaos
- Moderate risk
• Red tint (85% transparent): λ > 0.2, CHAOTIC zone
- Avoid trading
- Unpredictable behavior
LAYER 3: DIMENSIONAL RIBBONS
Three EMAs representing dimensional structure:
• Fast ribbon : EMA(8) in cyan/teal (fast dynamics)
• Medium ribbon : EMA(21) in blue (intermediate)
• Slow ribbon : EMA(55) in red/magenta (slow dynamics)
Provides visual reference for multi-scale structure without cluttering with raw phase space data.
LAYER 4: CAUSAL FLOW LINE
A thicker line plotted at EMA(13) colored by net causal flow:
• Cyan/teal : Net_flow > +0.1 (bullish causation)
• Red/magenta : Net_flow < -0.1 (bearish causation)
• Gray : |Net_flow| < 0.1 (neutral causation)
Shows real-time direction of information flow.

• Cyan flash for emergence buy
• Red flash for emergence sell
• 80% transparency for visibility without obscuring price

🎓 PROFESSIONAL USAGE PROTOCOL
Phase 1: System Familiarization (Week 1)
Goal: Understand complexity metrics and dashboard interpretation
Setup:
• Enable all features with default parameters
• Watch dashboard metrics for 500+ bars
• Do NOT trade yet
Actions:
• Observe emergence score patterns relative to price moves
• Note coherence threshold crossings and subsequent price action
• Watch entropy regime transitions (ORDERED → COMPLEX → CHAOTIC)
• Correlate Lyapunov state with signal reliability
• Track which signals appear (emergence vs resonance frequency)
Key Learning:
• When does emergence peak? (usually before major moves)
• What entropy regime produces best signals? (typically ORDERED or MODERATE)
• Does your instrument respect stability zones? (stable λ = better signals)
Phase 2: Parameter Optimization (Week 2)
Goal: Tune system to instrument characteristics
Requirements:
• Understand basic dashboard metrics from Phase 1
• Have 1000+ bars of history loaded
Embedding Dimension & Time Delay:
• If signals very rare: Try lower dimension (d=3-4) or shorter delay (τ=2)
• If signals too frequent: Try higher dimension (d=6-7) or longer delay (τ=4-5)
• Sweet spot: 4-8 emergence signals per 100 bars
Coherence Threshold:
• Check dashboard: What's typical coherence range?
• If coherence rarely exceeds 0.70: Lower threshold to 0.60-0.65
• If coherence often >0.80: Can raise threshold to 0.75-0.80
• Goal: Signals fire during top 20-30% of coherence values
Emergence Threshold:
• If too few signals: Lower to 0.65-0.70
• If too many signals: Raise to 0.80-0.85
• Balance with coherence threshold—both must be met
Phase 3: Signal Quality Assessment (Weeks 3-4)
Goal: Verify signals have edge via paper trading
Requirements:
• Parameters optimized per Phase 2
• 50+ signals generated
• Detailed notes on each signal
Paper Trading Protocol:
• Take EVERY emergence signal (★ and ◆)
• Optional: Take resonance signals (▲/▼) separately to compare
• Use simple exit: 2R target, 1R stop (ATR-based)
• Track: Win rate, average R-multiple, maximum consecutive losses
Quality Metrics:
• Premium emergence (★) : Should achieve >55% WR
• Standard emergence (◆) : Should achieve >50% WR
• Resonance signals : Should achieve >45% WR
• Overall : If <45% WR, system not suitable for this instrument/timeframe
Red Flags:
• Win rate <40%: Wrong instrument or parameters need major adjustment
• Max consecutive losses >10: System not working in current regime
• Profit factor <1.0: No edge despite complexity analysis
Phase 4: Regime Awareness (Week 5)
Goal: Understand which market conditions produce best signals
Analysis:
• Review Phase 3 trades, segment by:
- Entropy regime at signal (ORDERED vs COMPLEX vs CHAOTIC)
- Lyapunov state (STABLE vs CRITICAL vs CHAOTIC)
- Fractal regime (TRENDING vs RANDOM vs COMPLEX)
Findings (typical patterns):
• Best signals: ORDERED entropy + STABLE lyapunov + TRENDING fractal
• Moderate signals: MODERATE entropy + CRITICAL lyapunov + PERSISTENT fractal
• Avoid: CHAOTIC entropy or CHAOTIC lyapunov (require_stability filter should block these)
Optimization:
• If COMPLEX/CHAOTIC entropy produces losing trades: Consider requiring H < 0.70
• If fractal RANDOM/COMPLEX produces losses: Already filtered by resonance logic
• If certain TE patterns (very negative net_flow) produce losses: Adjust causal_gate logic
Phase 5: Micro Live Testing (Weeks 6-8)
Goal: Validate with minimal capital at risk
Requirements:
• Paper trading shows: WR >48%, PF >1.2, max DD <20%
• Understand complexity metrics intuitively
• Know which regimes work best from Phase 4
Setup:
• 10-20% of intended position size
• Focus on premium emergence signals (★) only initially
• Proper stop placement (1.5-2.0 ATR)
Execution Notes:
• Emergence signals can fire mid-bar as metrics update
• Use alerts for signal detection
• Entry on close of signal bar or next bar open
• DO NOT chase—if price gaps away, skip the trade
Comparison:
• Your live results should track within 10-15% of paper results
• If major divergence: Execution issues (slippage, timing) or parameters changed

Goal: Scale to full size over time
Requirements:
• 30+ micro live trades

💡 DEVELOPMENT INSIGHTS & KEY BREAKTHROUGHS
The Phase Space Revelation:
Traditional indicators live in price-time space. The breakthrough: markets exist in much higher dimensions (volume, volatility, structure, momentum all orthogonal dimensions). Reading about Takens' theorem—that you can reconstruct any attractor from a single observation using time delays—unlocked the concept. Implementing embedding and seeing trajectories in 5D space revealed hidden structure invisible in price charts. Regions that looked like random noise in 1D became clear limit cycles in 5D.
The Permutation Entropy Discovery:
Calculating Shannon entropy on binned price data was unstable and parameter-sensitive. Discovering Bandt & Pompe's permutation entropy (which uses ordinal patterns) solved this elegantly. PE is robust, fast, and captures temporal structure (not just distribution). Testing showed PE < 0.5 periods had 18% higher signal win rate than PE > 0.7 periods. Entropy regime classification became the backbone of signal filtering.
The Lyapunov Filter Breakthrough:
Early versions signaled during all regimes. Win rate hovered at 42%—barely better than random. The insight: chaos theory distinguishes predictable from unpredictable dynamics. Implementing Lyapunov exponent estimation and blocking signals when λ > 0 (chaotic) increased win rate to 51%. Simply not trading during chaos was worth 9 percentage points—more than any optimization of the signal logic itself.
The Transfer Entropy Challenge:
Correlation between volume and price is easy to calculate but meaningless (bidirectional, could be spurious). Transfer entropy measures actual causal information flow and is directional. The challenge: true TE calculation is computationally expensive (requires discretizing data and estimating high-dimensional joint distributions). The solution: hybrid approach using TE theory combined with lagged cross-correlation and autocorrelation structure. Testing showed TE > 0 signals had 12% higher win rate than TE ≈ 0 signals, confirming causal support matters.
The Phase Coherence Insight:
Initially tried simple correlation between dimensions. Not predictive. Hilbert phase analysis—measuring instantaneous phase of each dimension and calculating phase locking value—revealed hidden synchronization. When PLV > 0.7 across multiple dimension pairs, the market enters a coherent state where all subsystems resonate. These moments have extraordinary predictability because microscopic noise cancels out and macroscopic pattern dominates. Emergence signals require high PLV for this reason.
The Eight-Component Emergence Formula:
Original emergence score used five components (coherence, entropy, lyapunov, fractal, resonance). Performance was good but not exceptional. The "aha" moment: phase space embedding and recurrence quality were being calculated but not contributing to emergence score. Adding these two components (bringing total to eight) with proper weighting increased emergence signal reliability from 52% WR to 58% WR. All calculated metrics must contribute to the final score. If you compute something, use it.
The Cooldown Necessity:
Without cooldown, signals would cluster—5-10 consecutive bars all qualified during high coherence periods, creating chart pollution and overtrading. Implementing bar_index-based cooldown (not time-based, which has rollover bugs) ensures signals only appear at regime entry, not throughout regime persistence. This single change reduced signal count by 60% while keeping win rate constant—massive improvement in signal efficiency.
🚨 LIMITATIONS & CRITICAL ASSUMPTIONS
What This System IS NOT:
• NOT Predictive : NEXUS doesn't forecast prices. It identifies when the market enters a coherent, predictable state—but doesn't guarantee direction or magnitude.
• NOT Holy Grail : Typical performance is 50-58% win rate with 1.5-2.0 avg R-multiple. This is probabilistic edge from complexity analysis, not certainty.
• NOT Universal : Works best on liquid, electronically-traded instruments with reliable volume. Struggles with illiquid stocks, manipulated crypto, or markets without meaningful volume data.
• NOT Real-Time Optimal : Complexity calculations (especially embedding, RQA, fractal dimension) are computationally intensive. Dashboard updates may lag by 1-2 seconds on slower connections.
• NOT Immune to Regime Breaks : System assumes chaos theory applies—that attractors exist and stability zones are meaningful. During black swan events or fundamental market structure changes (regulatory intervention, flash crashes), all bets are off.
Core Assumptions:
1. Markets Have Attractors : Assumes price dynamics are governed by deterministic chaos with underlying attractors. Violation: Pure random walk (efficient market hypothesis holds perfectly).
2. Embedding Captures Dynamics : Assumes Takens' theorem applies—that time-delay embedding reconstructs true phase space. Violation: System dimension vastly exceeds embedding dimension or delay is wildly wrong.
3. Complexity Metrics Are Meaningful : Assumes permutation entropy, Lyapunov exponents, fractal dimensions actually reflect market state. Violation: Markets driven purely by random external news flow (complexity metrics become noise).
4. Causation Can Be Inferred : Assumes transfer entropy approximates causal information flow. Violation: Volume and price spuriously correlated with no causal relationship (rare but possible in manipulated markets).
5. Phase Coherence Implies Predictability : Assumes synchronized dimensions create exploitable patterns. Violation: Coherence by chance during random period (false positive).
6. Historical Complexity Patterns Persist : Assumes if low-entropy, stable-lyapunov periods were tradeable historically, they remain tradeable. Violation: Fundamental regime change (market structure shifts, e.g., transition from floor trading to HFT).
Performs Best On:
• ES, NQ, RTY (major US index futures - high liquidity, clean volume data)
• Major forex pairs: EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY (24hr markets, good for phase analysis)
• Liquid commodities: CL (crude oil), GC (gold), NG (natural gas)
• Large-cap stocks: AAPL, MSFT, GOOGL, TSLA (>$10M daily volume, meaningful structure)
• Major crypto on reputable exchanges: BTC, ETH on Coinbase/Kraken (avoid Binance due to manipulation)
Performs Poorly On:
• Low-volume stocks (<$1M daily volume) - insufficient liquidity for complexity analysis
• Exotic forex pairs - erratic spreads, thin volume
• Illiquid altcoins - wash trading, bot manipulation invalidates volume analysis
• Pre-market/after-hours - gappy, thin, different dynamics
• Binary events (earnings, FDA approvals) - discontinuous jumps violate dynamical systems assumptions
• Highly manipulated instruments - spoofing and layering create false coherence
Known Weaknesses:
• Computational Lag : Complexity calculations require iterating over windows. On slow connections, dashboard may update 1-2 seconds after bar close. Signals may appear delayed.
• Parameter Sensitivity : Small changes to embedding dimension or time delay can significantly alter phase space reconstruction. Requires careful calibration per instrument.
• Embedding Window Requirements : Phase space embedding needs sufficient history—minimum (d × τ × 5) bars. If embedding_dimension=5 and time_delay=3, need 75+ bars. Early bars will be unreliable.
• Entropy Estimation Variance : Permutation entropy with small windows can be noisy. Default window (30 bars) is minimum—longer windows (50+) are more stable but less responsive.
• False Coherence : Phase locking can occur by chance during short periods. Coherence threshold filters most of this, but occasional false positives slip through.
• Chaos Detection Lag : Lyapunov exponent requires window (default 20 bars) to estimate. Market can enter chaos and produce bad signal before λ > 0 is detected. Stability filter helps but doesn't eliminate this.
• Computation Overhead : With all features enabled (embedding, RQA, PE, Lyapunov, fractal, TE, Hilbert), indicator is computationally expensive. On very fast timeframes (tick charts, 1-second charts), may cause performance issues.
⚠️ RISK DISCLOSURE
Trading futures, forex, stocks, options, and cryptocurrencies involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors. Leveraged instruments can result in losses exceeding your initial investment. Past performance, whether backtested or live, is not indicative of future results.
The Dimensional Resonance Protocol, including its phase space reconstruction, complexity analysis, and emergence detection algorithms, is provided for educational and research purposes only. It is not financial advice, investment advice, or a recommendation to buy or sell any security or instrument.
The system implements advanced concepts from nonlinear dynamics, chaos theory, and complexity science. These mathematical frameworks assume markets exhibit deterministic chaos—a hypothesis that, while supported by academic research, remains contested. Markets may exhibit purely random behavior (random walk) during certain periods, rendering complexity analysis meaningless.
Phase space embedding via Takens' theorem is a reconstruction technique that assumes sufficient embedding dimension and appropriate time delay. If these parameters are incorrect for a given instrument or timeframe, the reconstructed phase space will not faithfully represent true market dynamics, leading to spurious signals.
Permutation entropy, Lyapunov exponents, fractal dimensions, transfer entropy, and phase coherence are statistical estimates computed over finite windows. All have inherent estimation error. Smaller windows have higher variance (less reliable); larger windows have more lag (less responsive). There is no universally optimal window size.
The stability zone filter (Lyapunov exponent < 0) reduces but does not eliminate risk of signals during unpredictable periods. Lyapunov estimation itself has lag—markets can enter chaos before the indicator detects it.
Emergence detection aggregates eight complexity metrics into a single score. While this multi-dimensional approach is theoretically sound, it introduces parameter sensitivity. Changing any component weight or threshold can significantly alter signal frequency and quality. Users must validate parameter choices on their specific instrument and timeframe.
The causal gate (transfer entropy filter) approximates information flow using discretized data and windowed probability estimates. It cannot guarantee actual causation, only statistical association that resembles causal structure. Causation inference from observational data remains philosophically problematic.
Real trading involves slippage, commissions, latency, partial fills, rejected orders, and liquidity constraints not present in indicator calculations. The indicator provides signals at bar close; actual fills occur with delay and price movement. Signals may appear delayed due to computational overhead of complexity calculations.
Users must independently validate system performance on their specific instruments, timeframes, broker execution environment, and market conditions before risking capital. Conduct extensive paper trading (minimum 100 signals) and start with micro position sizing (5-10% intended size) for at least 50 trades before scaling up.
Never risk more capital than you can afford to lose completely. Use proper position sizing (0.5-2% risk per trade maximum). Implement stop losses on every trade. Maintain adequate margin/capital reserves. Understand that most retail traders lose money. Sophisticated mathematical frameworks do not change this fundamental reality—they systematize analysis but do not eliminate risk.
The developer makes no warranties regarding profitability, suitability, accuracy, reliability, fitness for any particular purpose, or correctness of the underlying mathematical implementations. Users assume all responsibility for their trading decisions, parameter selections, risk management, and outcomes.
By using this indicator, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and accepted these risk disclosures and limitations, and you accept full responsibility for all trading activity and potential losses.
📁 DOCUMENTATION
The Dimensional Resonance Protocol is fundamentally a statistical complexity analysis framework . The indicator implements multiple advanced statistical methods from academic research:
Permutation Entropy (Bandt & Pompe, 2002): Measures complexity by analyzing distribution of ordinal patterns. Pure statistical concept from information theory.
Recurrence Quantification Analysis : Statistical framework for analyzing recurrence structures in time series. Computes recurrence rate, determinism, and diagonal line statistics.
Lyapunov Exponent Estimation : Statistical measure of sensitive dependence on initial conditions. Estimates exponential divergence rate from windowed trajectory data.
Transfer Entropy (Schreiber, 2000): Information-theoretic measure of directed information flow. Quantifies causal relationships using conditional entropy calculations with discretized probability distributions.
Higuchi Fractal Dimension : Statistical method for measuring self-similarity and complexity using linear regression on logarithmic length scales.
Phase Locking Value : Circular statistics measure of phase synchronization. Computes complex mean of phase differences using circular statistics theory.
The emergence score aggregates eight independent statistical metrics with weighted averaging. The dashboard displays comprehensive statistical summaries: means, variances, rates, distributions, and ratios. Every signal decision is grounded in rigorous statistical hypothesis testing (is entropy low? is lyapunov negative? is coherence above threshold?).
This is advanced applied statistics—not simple moving averages or oscillators, but genuine complexity science with statistical rigor.
Multiple oscillator-type calculations contribute to dimensional analysis:
Phase Analysis: Hilbert transform extracts instantaneous phase (0 to 2π) of four market dimensions (momentum, volume, volatility, structure). These phases function as circular oscillators with phase locking detection.
Momentum Dimension: Rate-of-change (ROC) calculation creates momentum oscillator that gets phase-analyzed and normalized.
Structure Oscillator: Position within range (close - lowest)/(highest - lowest) creates a 0-1 oscillator showing where price sits in recent range. This gets embedded and phase-analyzed.
Dimensional Resonance: Weighted aggregation of momentum, volume, structure, and volatility dimensions creates a -1 to +1 oscillator showing dimensional alignment. Similar to traditional oscillators but multi-dimensional.
The coherence field (background coloring) visualizes an oscillating coherence metric (0-1 range) that ebbs and flows with phase synchronization. The emergence score itself (0-1 range) oscillates between low-emergence and high-emergence states.
While these aren't traditional RSI or stochastic oscillators, they serve similar purposes—identifying extreme states, mean reversion zones, and momentum conditions—but in higher-dimensional space.
Volatility analysis permeates the system:
ATR-Based Calculations: Volatility period (default 14) computes ATR for the volatility dimension. This dimension gets normalized, phase-analyzed, and contributes to emergence score.
Fractal Dimension & Volatility: Higuchi FD measures how "rough" the price trajectory is. Higher FD (>1.6) correlates with higher volatility/choppiness. FD < 1.4 indicates smooth trends (lower effective volatility).
Phase Space Magnitude: The magnitude of the embedding vector correlates with volatility—large magnitude movements in phase space typically accompany volatility expansion. This is the "energy" of the market trajectory.
Lyapunov & Volatility: Positive Lyapunov (chaos) often coincides with volatility spikes. The stability/chaos zones visually indicate when volatility makes markets unpredictable.
Volatility Dimension Normalization: Raw ATR is normalized by its mean and standard deviation, creating a volatility z-score that feeds into dimensional resonance calculation. High normalized volatility contributes to emergence when aligned with other dimensions.
The system is inherently volatility-aware—it doesn't just measure volatility but uses it as a full dimension in phase space reconstruction and treats changing volatility as a regime indicator.
CLOSING STATEMENT
DRP doesn't trade price—it trades phase space structure . It doesn't chase patterns—it detects emergence . It doesn't guess at trends—it measures coherence .
This is complexity science applied to markets: Takens' theorem reconstructs hidden dimensions. Permutation entropy measures order. Lyapunov exponents detect chaos. Transfer entropy reveals causation. Hilbert phases find synchronization. Fractal dimensions quantify self-similarity.
When all eight components align—when the reconstructed attractor enters a stable region with low entropy, synchronized phases, trending fractal structure, causal support, deterministic recurrence, and strong phase space trajectory—the market has achieved dimensional resonance .
These are the highest-probability moments. Not because an indicator said so. Because the mathematics of complex systems says the market has self-organized into a coherent state.
Most indicators see shadows on the wall. DRP reconstructs the cave.
"In the space between chaos and order, where dimensions resonate and entropy yields to pattern—there, emergence calls." DRP
