OA - PowerZones Support And ResistancePowerZones - Dynamic Support/Resistance Identifier
Overview
PowerZones is an advanced technical analysis tool that automatically detects significant support and resistance zones using volume data and pivot points. This indicator pulls data from higher timeframes (weekly by default) to help you identify strong and meaningful levels that are filtered from short-term "noise."
Features
Multi-Timeframe Analysis: Create support/resistance levels from daily, weekly, or monthly data
Volume Filtering: Detect high-volume pivot points to identify more reliable levels
Dynamic Threshold: Volume filter that automatically adjusts to market conditions
Visual Clarity: Support/resistance zones are displayed as boxes with adjustable transparency
Optimal Level Selection: Filter out close levels to focus on the most significant support/resistance points
Use Cases
Entry/Exit Points: Identify trading opportunities at important support and resistance levels
Stop-Loss Placement: Use natural support levels to set more effective stop-losses
Target Setting: Use potential resistance levels as profit-taking targets
Understanding Market Structure: Detect long-term support/resistance zones to better interpret price movement
Input Parameters
Lookback Period: The period used to determine pivot points
Box Width : Adjusts the width of support/resistance zones
Relative Volume Period: The period used for relative volume calculation
Maximum Number of Boxes: Maximum number of support/resistance zones to display on the chart
Box Transparency: Transparency value for the boxes
Timeframe: Timeframe to use for support/resistance detection (Daily, Weekly, Monthly)
How It Works
PowerZones identifies pivot highs and lows in the selected timeframe. It filters these points using volume data to show only meaningful and strong levels. The indicator also consolidates nearby levels, allowing you to focus only on the most important zones on the chart.
Best Practices
Weekly timeframe setting is ideal for identifying long-term important support/resistance levels
Working with weekly levels on a daily chart allows you to combine long-term levels with short-term trades
ATR-based box width creates support/resistance zones that adapt to market volatility
Use the indicator along with other technical indicators such as RSI, MACD, or moving averages to confirm trading signals
Note: Like all technical indicators, this indicator does not guarantee 100% accuracy. Always apply risk management principles and use it in conjunction with other analysis methods to achieve the best results.

Dskyz (DAFE) Aurora Divergence – Quant Master Dskyz (DAFE) Aurora Divergence – Quant Master
Introducing the Dskyz (DAFE) Aurora Divergence – Quant Master , a strategy that’s your secret weapon for mastering futures markets like MNQ, NQ, MES, and ES. Born from the legendary Aurora Divergence indicator, this fully automated system transforms raw divergence signals into a quant-grade trading machine, blending precision, risk management, and cyberpunk DAFE visuals that make your charts glow like a neon skyline. Crafted with care and driven by community passion, this strategy stands out in a sea of generic scripts, offering traders a unique edge to outsmart institutional traps and navigate volatile markets.
The Aurora Divergence indicator was a cult favorite for spotting price-OBV divergences with its aqua and fuchsia orbs, but traders craved a system to act on those signals with discipline and automation. This strategy delivers, layering advanced filters (z-score, ATR, multi-timeframe, session), dynamic risk controls (kill switches, adaptive stops/TPs), and a real-time dashboard to turn insights into profits. Whether you’re a newbie dipping into futures or a pro hunting reversals, this strat’s got your back with a beginner guide, alerts, and visuals that make trading feel like a sci-fi mission. Let’s dive into every detail and see why this original DAFE creation is a must-have.
Why Traders Need This Strategy
Futures markets are a battlefield—fast-paced, volatile, and riddled with institutional games that can wipe out undisciplined traders. From the April 28, 2025 NQ 1k-point drop to sneaky ES slippage, the stakes are high. Meanwhile, platforms are flooded with unoriginal, low-effort scripts that promise the moon but deliver noise. The Aurora Divergence – Quant Master rises above, offering:
Unmatched Originality: A bespoke system built from the ground up, with custom divergence logic, DAFE visuals, and quant filters that set it apart from copycat clutter.
Automation with Precision: Executes trades on divergence signals, eliminating emotional slip-ups and ensuring consistency, even in chaotic sessions.
Quant-Grade Filters: Z-score, ATR, multi-timeframe, and session checks filter out noise, targeting high-probability reversals.
Robust Risk Management: Daily loss and rolling drawdown kill switches, plus ATR-based stops/TPs, protect your capital like a fortress.
Stunning DAFE Visuals: Aqua/fuchsia orbs, aurora bands, and a glowing dashboard make signals intuitive and charts a work of art.
Community-Driven: Evolved from trader feedback, this strat’s a labor of love, not a recycled knockoff.
Traders need this because it’s a complete, original system that blends accessibility, sophistication, and style. It’s your edge to trade smarter, not harder, in a market full of traps and imitators.
1. Divergence Detection (Core Signal Logic)
The strategy’s core is its ability to detect bullish and bearish divergences between price and On-Balance Volume (OBV), pinpointing reversals with surgical accuracy.
How It Works:
Price Slope: Uses linear regression over a lookback (default: 9 bars) to measure price momentum (priceSlope).
OBV Slope: OBV tracks volume flow (+volume if price rises, -volume if falls), with its slope calculated similarly (obvSlope).
Bullish Divergence: Price slope negative (falling), OBV slope positive (rising), and price above 50-bar SMA (trend_ma).
Bearish Divergence: Price slope positive (rising), OBV slope negative (falling), and price below 50-bar SMA.
Smoothing: Requires two consecutive divergence bars (bullDiv2, bearDiv2) to confirm signals, reducing false positives.
Strength: Divergence intensity (divStrength = |priceSlope * obvSlope| * sensitivity) is normalized (0–1, divStrengthNorm) for visuals.
Why It’s Brilliant:
- Divergences catch hidden momentum shifts, often exploited by institutions, giving you an edge on reversals.
- The 50-bar SMA filter aligns signals with the broader trend, avoiding choppy markets.
- Adjustable lookback (min: 3) and sensitivity (default: 1.0) let you tune for different instruments or timeframes.
2. Filters for Precision
Four advanced filters ensure signals are high-probability and market-aligned, cutting through the noise of volatile futures.
Z-Score Filter:
Logic: Calculates z-score ((close - SMA) / stdev) over a lookback (default: 50 bars). Blocks entries if |z-score| > threshold (default: 1.5) unless disabled (useZFilter = false).
Impact: Avoids trades during extreme price moves (e.g., blow-off tops), keeping you in statistically safe zones.
ATR Percentile Volatility Filter:
Logic: Tracks 14-bar ATR in a 100-bar window (default). Requires current ATR > 80th percentile (percATR) to trade (tradeOk).
Impact: Ensures sufficient volatility for meaningful moves, filtering out low-volume chop.
Multi-Timeframe (HTF) Trend Filter:
Logic: Uses a 50-bar SMA on a higher timeframe (default: 60min). Longs require price > HTF MA (bullTrendOK), shorts < HTF MA (bearTrendOK).
Impact: Aligns trades with the bigger trend, reducing counter-trend losses.
US Session Filter:
Logic: Restricts trading to 9:30am–4:00pm ET (default: enabled, useSession = true) using America/New_York timezone.
Impact: Focuses on high-liquidity hours, avoiding overnight spreads and erratic moves.
Evolution:
- These filters create a robust signal pipeline, ensuring trades are timed for optimal conditions.
- Customizable inputs (e.g., zThreshold, atrPercentile) let traders adapt to their style without compromising quality.
3. Risk Management
The strategy’s risk controls are a masterclass in balancing aggression and safety, protecting capital in volatile markets.
Daily Loss Kill Switch:
Logic: Tracks daily loss (dayStartEquity - strategy.equity). Halts trading if loss ≥ $300 (default) and enabled (killSwitch = true, killSwitchActive).
Impact: Caps daily downside, crucial during events like April 27, 2025 ES slippage.
Rolling Drawdown Kill Switch:
Logic: Monitors drawdown (rollingPeak - strategy.equity) over 100 bars (default). Stops trading if > $1000 (rollingKill).
Impact: Prevents prolonged losing streaks, preserving capital for better setups.
Dynamic Stop-Loss and Take-Profit:
Logic: Stops = entry ± ATR * multiplier (default: 1.0x, stopDist). TPs = entry ± ATR * 1.5x (profitDist). Longs: stop below, TP above; shorts: vice versa.
Impact: Adapts to volatility, keeping stops tight but realistic, with TPs targeting 1.5:1 reward/risk.
Max Bars in Trade:
Logic: Closes trades after 8 bars (default) if not already exited.
Impact: Frees capital from stagnant trades, maintaining efficiency.
Kill Switch Buffer Dashboard:
Logic: Shows smallest buffer ($300 - daily loss or $1000 - rolling DD). Displays 0 (red) if kill switch active, else buffer (green).
Impact: Real-time risk visibility, letting traders adjust dynamically.
Why It’s Brilliant:
- Kill switches and ATR-based exits create a safety net, rare in generic scripts.
- Customizable risk inputs (maxDailyLoss, dynamicStopMult) suit different account sizes.
- Buffer metric empowers disciplined trading, a DAFE signature.
4. Trade Entry and Exit Logic
The entry/exit rules are precise, filtered, and adaptive, ensuring trades are deliberate and profitable.
Entry Conditions:
Long Entry: bullDiv2, cooldown passed (canSignal), ATR filter passed (tradeOk), in US session (inSession), no kill switches (not killSwitchActive, not rollingKill), z-score OK (zOk), HTF trend bullish (bullTrendOK), no existing long (lastDirection != 1, position_size <= 0). Closes shorts first.
Short Entry: Same, but for bearDiv2, bearTrendOK, no long (lastDirection != -1, position_size >= 0). Closes longs first.
Adaptive Cooldown: Default 2 bars (cooldownBars). Doubles (up to 10) after a losing trade, resets after wins (dynamicCooldown).
Exit Conditions:
Stop-Loss/Take-Profit: Set per trade (ATR-based). Exits on stop/TP hits.
Other Exits: Closes if maxBarsInTrade reached, ATR filter fails, or kill switch activates.
Position Management: Ensures no conflicting positions, closing opposites before new entries.
Built To Be Reliable and Consistent:
- Multi-filtered entries minimize false signals, a stark contrast to basic scripts.
- Adaptive cooldown prevents overtrading, especially after losses.
- Clean position handling ensures smooth execution, even in fast markets.
5. DAFE Visuals
The visuals are a DAFE hallmark, blending function with clean flair to make signals intuitive and charts stunning.
Aurora Bands:
Display: Bands around price during divergences (bullish: below low, bearish: above high), sized by ATR * bandwidth (default: 0.5).
Colors: Aqua (bullish), fuchsia (bearish), with transparency tied to divStrengthNorm.
Purpose: Highlights divergence zones with a glowing, futuristic vibe.
Divergence Orbs:
Display: Large/small circles (aqua below for bullish, fuchsia above for bearish) when bullDiv2/bearDiv2 and canSignal. Labels show strength (0–1).
Purpose: Pinpoints entries with eye-catching clarity.
Gradient Background:
Display: Green (bullish), red (bearish), or gray (neutral), 90–95% transparent.
Purpose: Sets the market mood without clutter.
Strategy Plots:
- Stop/TP Lines: Red (stops), green (TPs) for active trades.
- HTF MA: Yellow line for trend context.
- Z-Score: Blue step-line (if enabled).
- Kill Switch Warning: Red background flash when active.
What Makes This Next-Level?:
- Visuals make complex signals (divergences, filters) instantly clear, even for beginners.
- DAFE’s unique aesthetic (orbs, bands) sets it apart from generic scripts, reinforcing originality.
- Functional plots (stops, TPs) enhance trade management.
6. Metrics Dashboard
The top-right dashboard (2x8 table) is your command center, delivering real-time insights.
Metrics:
Daily Loss ($): Current loss vs. day’s start, red if > $300.
Rolling DD ($): Drawdown vs. 100-bar peak, red if > $1000.

Golden Setup V1Golden Setup V1 is an overlay indicator that automates Tony Rago’s “Golden Setup” price-level framework. It divides the chart into fixed “blockSize” intervals (default 100 points) and plots a series of key horizontal levels within each block—levels at 00, 12, 26, 33, 50, 62, 77 and 88 offsets. These levels act as dynamic support and resistance grids that roll up or down as price moves between blocks.
Key Features
Customizable Offsets
Define eight offset levels corresponding to Rago’s Golden Setup:
00 (Round Number)
12 (Target 12)
26 (First “Golden” level)
33 (Target 33)
50 (Mid-block pivot)
62 (Target 62)
77 (Second “Golden” level)
88 (Target 88)
Multi-Block Coverage
Choose how many blocks above and below the current 100-point block you wish to display, so you always have levels drawn for the surrounding price range.
Golden-Only Filter
A handy toggle lets you show only the two “Golden” offsets (26 & 77), which many traders prioritize for high-probability bounce or breakout areas.
Dynamic Nearest-Level Label
Highlights the closest Golden Setup level (to the right edge of the chart) with a movable label, so you always know which level price is approaching.
Full Styling Control
Customize line colors, widths, block size, label fonts and opacity to suit your charting style.
How It Works
Block Calculation
On each bar, the indicator computes the “current block” by flooring (close / blockSize) and multiplying back by blockSize.
Level Offsets
It adds each of the eight user-defined offsets to that block base (and, if price has moved below the lowest offset, shifts the block down one interval).
Drawing
Each level is drawn as a horizontal line extending across the chart for as many blocks above/below as you select.
Nearest-Level Detection
Within the present block, it calculates which of the plotted levels is closest to price and displays that value on the right edge.
Usage Tips
Use the Golden-Only filter to declutter and focus solely on the 26 & 77 levels, which often act as strong intra-block pivot points.
Combine with volume or momentum indicators to confirm bounces at these levels.
Adjust blockSize (e.g. 50 or 200) if you wish to work in smaller or larger price increments.
⚠️ Disclaimer: This script is for educational and illustrative purposes only. Trading involves risk—always back-test and validate any strategy on a demo account before going live.
Custom Rotatable PinwheelCustom Rotatable Pinwheel – Art Generator (Fully Color-Configurable)
This visual indicator draws a rotating pinwheel using radial spokes. It's designed purely for artistic and decorative purposes — not for trading signals. Use it to create abstract, mandala-like effects by layering multiple instances with different rotation angles and color palettes.
Fully Customizable Spoke Colors
You can now define up to 8 custom spoke colors, which cycle across the pinwheel arms.
Optionally, enable "Use Single Color" to override all spokes with a single color.
This gives full creative control over your color palette and design aesthetic.
Controls:
Number of Spokes – Total number of radial arms
Rotation Offset (°) – Adjusts the starting angle, useful when layering multiple instances
Spin Speed – Controls how fast the pinwheel rotates with each bar
Inner / Outer Radius – Adjusts the spoke arm lengths
Transparency – Controls how visible the lines are
Use Single Color – Toggle between a single color or a full custom palette
Color 1–8 – Set your preferred spoke colors (used when single color is off)
Setup for a Clean Chart Canvas (No Price Bars or Gridlines)
To hide all default chart visuals and show only the pinwheel design:
Right-click chart → Settings
Symbol tab: Uncheck "Show Bars"
Scales tab: Uncheck "Price Scale" and "Time Scale"
Appearance tab:
Set background to black
Uncheck grid lines, watermark, etc.
Status Line and Events: Uncheck all
Binary Strategy (with SMI logic)🧠 How to Use:
Chart Timeframe: 5-minute
Setup: Wait for an arrow to appear
Green arrow = BUY a 20-min binary in uptrend with positive momentum
Red arrow = SELL a 20-min binary in downtrend with negative momentum
SMI Logic: Entry only when SMI crosses its signal line in the trend direction and above/below zero
Works for Nadex 20-Minute $&P 500 Binary
If long at 75 get out at 50, or if short at 25 get out at 50. This allow you to be trading at a 1:1 ratio. (Approx.)

Strategy Components
1. Core Signal Logic (High-Speed Momentum)
The strategy’s engine is a momentum-based system using fast and slow Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), now tuned for faster, more frequent trades.
How It Works:
Fast/Slow EMAs: Fast EMA (Aggressive: 5, Balanced: 7, Conservative: 9 bars) and slow EMA (12/14/18 bars) track short-term vs. longer-term momentum.
Crossover Signals:
Buy: Fast EMA crosses above slow EMA, and trend_dir = 1 (fast EMA > slow EMA + ATR * strength threshold).
Sell: Fast EMA crosses below slow EMA, and trend_dir = -1 (fast EMA < slow EMA - ATR * strength threshold).
Strength Filter: ma_strength = fast EMA - slow EMA must exceed an ATR-scaled threshold (Aggressive: 0.15, Balanced: 0.18, Conservative: 0.25) for robust signals.
Trend Direction: trend_dir confirms momentum, filtering out weak crossovers in choppy markets.
Evolution:
Faster EMAs (down from 7–10/21–50) catch short-term trends, perfect for active futures markets.
Lower strength thresholds (0.15–0.25 vs. 0.3–0.5) make signals more sensitive, boosting trade frequency without sacrificing quality.
Preset tuning ensures beginners get optimized settings, while pros can tweak via mode selection.
2. Market Sentiment Filters
The strategy leans hard into market sentiment with a VIX filter, SPX trend analysis, and sector breadth visuals, keeping trades aligned with the big picture.
VIX Filter:
Logic: Blocks long entries if VIX > threshold (default: 20, can_long = vix_close < vix_limit). Shorts are always allowed (can_short = true).
Impact: Prevents longs during high-fear markets (e.g., VIX spikes in crashes), while allowing shorts to capitalize on downturns.
SPX Trend Filter:
Logic: Compares S&P 500 (SPX) close to its SMA (Aggressive: 5, Balanced: 8, Conservative: 12 bars). spx_trend = 1 (UP) if close > SMA, -1 (DOWN) if < SMA, 0 (FLAT) if neutral.
Impact: Provides dashboard context, encouraging trades that align with market direction (e.g., longs in UP trend).
Sector Breadth (Visual):
Logic: Tracks 10 sector ETFs (XLK, XLF, XLE, etc.) vs. their SMAs (same lengths as SPX). Each sector scores +1 (bullish), -1 (bearish), or 0 (neutral), summed as breadth (-10 to +10).
Display: Green background if breadth > 4, red if breadth < -4, else neutral. Dashboard shows sector trends (↑/↓/-).
Impact: Faster SMA lengths make breadth more responsive, reflecting sector rotations (e.g., tech surging, energy lagging).
Why It’s Brilliant:
- VIX filter adds pro-level volatility awareness, saving beginners from panic-driven losses.
- SPX and sector breadth give a 360° view of market health, boosting signal confidence (e.g., green BG + buy signal = high-probability trade).
- Shorter SMAs make sentiment visuals react faster, perfect for 5min charts.
3. Risk Management
The risk controls are a fortress, now tighter and more dynamic to support frequent trading while keeping accounts safe.
Preset-Based Risk:
Aggressive: Fast EMAs (5/12), tight stops (1.1x ATR), 1-bar cooldown. High trade frequency, higher risk.
Balanced: EMAs (7/14), 1.2x ATR stops, 1-bar cooldown. Versatile for most traders.
Conservative: EMAs (9/18), 1.3x ATR stops, 2-bar cooldown. Safer, fewer trades.
Impact: Auto-scales risk to match style, making it foolproof for beginners.
Adaptive Stops and Take-Profits:
Logic: Stops = entry ± ATR * atr_mult (1.1–1.3x, down from 1.2–2.0x). Take-profits = entry ± ATR * take_mult (2x stop distance, 2:1 reward/risk). Longs: stop below entry, TP above; shorts: vice versa.
Impact: Tighter stops increase trade turnover while maintaining solid risk/reward, adapting to volatility.
Trade Cooldown:
Logic: Preset-driven (Aggressive/Balanced: 1 bar, Conservative: 2 bars vs. old user-input 2). Ensures bar_index - last_trade_bar >= cooldown.
Impact: Faster cooldowns (especially Aggressive/Balanced) allow more trades, balanced by VIX and strength filters.
Contract Sizing:
Logic: User sets contracts (default: 1, max: 10), no preset cap (unlike old 7/5/3 suggestion).
Impact: Flexible but risks over-leverage; beginners should stick to low contracts.
Built To Be Reliable and Consistent:
- Tighter stops and faster cooldowns make it a high-octane system without blowing up accounts.
- Preset-driven risk removes guesswork, letting newbies trade confidently.
- 2:1 TPs ensure profitable trades outweigh losses, even in volatile sessions like April 27, 2025 ES slippage.
4. Trade Entry and Exit Logic
The entry/exit rules are simple yet razor-sharp, now with VIX filtering and faster signals:
Entry Conditions:
Long Entry: buy_signal (fast EMA crosses above slow EMA, trend_dir = 1), no position (strategy.position_size = 0), cooldown passed (can_trade), and VIX < 20 (can_long). Enters with user-defined contracts.
Short Entry: sell_signal (fast EMA crosses below slow EMA, trend_dir = -1), no position, cooldown passed, can_short (always true).
Logic: Tracks last_entry_bar for visuals, last_trade_bar for cooldowns.
Exit Conditions:
Stop-Loss/Take-Profit: ATR-based stops (1.1–1.3x) and TPs (2x stop distance). Longs exit if price hits stop (below) or TP (above); shorts vice versa.
No Other Exits: Keeps it straightforward, relying on stops/TPs.
5. DAFE Visuals
The visuals are pure DAFE magic, blending clean function with informative metrics utilized by professionals, now enhanced by faster signals and a responsive breadth background:
EMA Plots:
Display: Fast EMA (blue, 2px), slow EMA (orange, 2px), using faster lengths (5–9/12–18).
Purpose: Highlights momentum shifts, with crossovers signaling entries.
Sector Breadth Background:
Display: Green (90% transparent) if breadth > 4, red (90%) if breadth < -4, else neutral.
Purpose: Faster breadth_sma_len (5–12 vs. 10–50) reflects sector shifts in real-time, reinforcing signal strength.
- Visuals are intuitive, turning complex signals into clear buy/sell cues.
- Faster breadth background reacts to market rotations (e.g., tech vs. energy), giving a pro-level edge.
6. Sector Breadth Dashboard
The new bottom-left dashboard is a game-changer, a 3x16 table (black/gray theme) that’s your market command center:
Metrics:
VIX: Current VIX (red if > 20, gray if not).
SPX: Trend as “UP” (green), “DOWN” (red), or “FLAT” (gray).
Trade Longs: “OK” (green) if VIX < 20, “BLOCK” (red) if not.
Sector Breadth: 10 sectors (Tech, Financial, etc.) with trend arrows (↑ green, ↓ red, - gray).
Placeholder Row: Empty for future metrics (e.g., ATR, breadth score).
Purpose: Consolidates regime, volatility, market trend, and sector data, making decisions a breeze.
- VIX and SPX metrics add context, helping beginners avoid bad trades (e.g., no longs if “BLOCK”).
Sector arrows show market health at a glance, like a cheat code for sentiment.
Key Features
Beginner-Ready: Preset modes and clear visuals make futures trading a breeze.

Entropy Bands (TechnoBlooms)Entropy Bands — A New Era of Volatility and Trend Analysis
Entropy Bands is our next indicator as a part of the Quantum Price Theory (QPT) Series of indicators.
🧠 Overview
Entropy Bands are an advanced volatility-based indicator that reimagines traditional banded systems like Bollinger Bands.
Built on entropy theory, adaptive moving averages, and dynamic volatility measurement, Entropy Bands provide deeper insights into market randomness, trend strength, and breakout potential.
Instead of only relying on price deviation (like Bollinger Bands), Entropy Bands integrate chaos theory principles to create smarter, more responsive dynamic bands that adapt to real market behavior.
🚀Why is Entropy Bands Different — and Better
Dynamic Band Width : Adjusts using both entropy and ATR, creating smarter expansion/contraction.
Multi-Moving Average Core : Choose between SMA, EMA, or WMA for optimal centerline behavior.
Noise and Breakout Filtering : Filters fake breakouts by analyzing candle body size and entropy conditions.
Visual Clarity : Background and candle coloring highlight chaotic/noisy zones, trend zones, and breakout moments.
Entropy Bands don't just react to price — they analyze the underlying market behavior, offering superior decision-making signals.
📚 Watch Band Behavior:
Bands expand during volatility spikes or chaotic conditions.
Bands contract during low volatility or tight consolidation zones.
📚 Analyze Candle Coloring:
Green = Bullish breakout (closing above upper band).
Pink = Bearish breakout (closing below lower band).
Gray = Inside bands (neutral/random noise).
✨ Key Features of Entropy Bands:
Entropy-Based Band Width Calculation: A scientific edge over pure price deviation methods.
Dynamic Background Coloring: Highlights high entropy areas where randomness dominates.
Candle Breakout Coloring: Easy-to-spot trend breakouts and strength moves.
Multi-MA Flexibility: Adapt the bands’ core to trending, ranging, or volatile markets.
Body Size Filter: Protects against fake breakouts by requiring meaningful candle body moves.

DETAILED SIGNAL LOGIC
Trend Determination:
The script determines the trend direction by comparing leading_line1 and leading_line2.
If leading_line1 is above leading_line2, the trend is considered bullish (isBullish). Otherwise, it's bearish (isBearish).
Signal Conditions:
Long Entry (LE): Triggered when the trend turns bullish from bearish.
Short Entry (SE): Triggered when the trend turns bearish from bullish.
Exit Long (XL): Triggered when the price crosses below leading_line1 during an uptrend.
Re-enter Long (RL): Triggered when the price crosses above leading_line1 during an uptrend.
Exit Short (XS): Triggered when the price crosses above leading_line1 during a downtrend.
Re-enter Short (RS): Triggered when the price crosses below leading_line1 during a downtrend.
Label Styling:
Labels are color-coded for quick identification:
Green for long entries and re-entries.
Red for short entries and exits.
Blue for exiting long positions.
Orange for re-entering short positions.
Tooltips provide additional context for each label.
Alert Configuration:
Alerts are generated for each signal condition, ensuring traders are notified promptly.
Users can set up these alerts within TradingView by creating new alerts and selecting the appropriate conditions.
LIMITATIONS
The indicator may lag behind price action due to its use of moving averages and channel calculations 🕒.
False signals can occur in choppy or sideways markets 🌪️.
Users should always confirm signals with other forms of analysis.
NOTES
Ensure that you have sufficient historical data available for accurate calculations.
Test the indicator thoroughly on demo accounts before applying it to live trading 🔍.
Customize the appearance and parameters as needed to fit your trading strategy.
For better risk management, consider integrating stop-loss and take-profit levels into your trading plan.
To optimize performance, manage old labels by deleting them after a certain period to avoid clutter on the chart.
WaveTrend Matrix (1m-1w) – Custom ThresholdsA visual control panel for momentum exhaustion across ten key time-frames.
—
🧬 DNA
This is a fork of LazyBear’s original WaveTrend Oscillator .
The oscillator logic is 100 % intact; I simply stream the values into a compact table so that day- and swing-traders can see the “bigger picture” at a glance.
📈 What does it do?
Calculates WaveTrend on ten granularities: 1m, 3m, 5m, 15m, 30m, 1h, 2h, 4h, 1d, 1w.
Displays the current oscillator print in a color-coded matrix.
• Red = overbought (≥ high threshold)
• Green = oversold (≤ low threshold)
• Gray = neutral / in-range
All thresholds are user-adjustable.
Built on Pine v5, zero repainting, works on any symbol.
🛠 Parameters
Channel Length – WT “n1” (default 10)
Average Length – WT “n2” (default 21)
Red from – overbought cut-off (default +60)
Green under – oversold cut-off (default –60)
🚀 How to use it
1. Apply the indicator to your chart – no extra setup required.
2. Read the matrix top-down before every entry:
• Multiple deep-green rows → market broadly oversold → watch for longs.
• Multiple deep-red rows → market broadly overbought → watch for shorts or stay flat.
3. Combine with your trend filter (EMA-stack, VWAP, structure) to avoid counter-trend trades.
COT3 - Flip Strength Index - Invincible3This indicator uses the TradingView COT library to visualize institutional positioning and potential sentiment or trend shifts. It compares the long% vs short% of commercial and non-commercial traders for both Pair A and Pair B, helping traders identify trend strength, market overextension, and early reversal signals.
🔷 COT RSI
The COT RSI normalizes the net positioning difference between non-commercial and commercial traders over (N=13, 26, and 52)-week periods. It ranges from 0 to 100, highlighting when sentiment is at bullish or bearish extremes.
COT RSI (N)= ((NC - C)−min)/(max-min) x100
🟡 COT Index
The COT Index tracks where the current non-commercial net position lies within its 1-year and 3-year historical range. It reflects institutional accumulation or distribution phases.
Strength represents the magnitude of that positioning bias, visualized through normalized RSI-style metrics.
COT Index (N)= (NC net)/(max-min) x100
🔁 Flip Detection
Flip refers to the crossovers between long% and short%, indicating a change in directional bias among trader groups. When long positions exceed shorts (or vice versa), it signals a possible market flip in sentiment or trend.
For example, Pair B commercial flip is calculated as:
Long% = (Long/Open Interest)×100
Short% = (Short/Open Interest)×100
Flip = Long%−Short%
A bullish flip occurs when long% overtakes short%, and vice versa for a bearish flip. These flips often precede price trend changes or confirm sentiment breakouts.
Flip captures how far current positioning deviates from historical norms — highlighting periods of institutional overconfidence or exhaustion, often leading to significant market turns.
This combination offers a multi-layered edge for identifying when smart money is flipping direction, and whether that flip has strong conviction or is likely to fade.

CYCLE BY RiotWolftradingDescription of the "CYCLE" Indicator
The "CYCLE" indicator is a custom Pine Script v5 script for TradingView that visualizes cyclic patterns in price action, dividing the trading day into specific sessions and 90-minute quarters (Q1-Q4). It is designed to identify and display market phases (Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution, and Continuation/Reversal) along with key support and resistance levels within those sessions. Additionally, it allows customization of boxes, lines, labels, and colors to suit user preferences.
Main Features
Cycle Phases:
Accumulation (1900-0100): Represents the phase where large operators accumulate positions.
Manipulation (0100-0700): Identifies potential manipulative moves to mislead retail traders.
Distribution (0700-1300): The phase where large operators distribute their positions.
Continuation/Reversal (1300-1900): Indicates whether the price continues the trend or reverses.
90-Minute Quarters (Q1-Q4):
Divides each 6-hour cycle (360 minutes) into four 90-minute quarters (Q1: 00:00-01:30, Q2: 01:30-03:00, Q3: 03:00-04:30, Q4: 04:30-06:00 UTC).
Each quarter is displayed with a colored box (Q1: light purple, Q2: light blue, Q3: light gray, Q4: light pink) and labels (defaulted to black).
Support and Resistance Visualization:
Draws boxes or lines (based on settings) showing the high and low levels of each session.
Optionally displays accumulated volume at the highs and lows within the boxes.
Daily Lines and Last 3 Boxes:
How to Use the Indicator
Step 1: Add the Indicator to TradingView
Open TradingView and select the chart where you want to apply the indicator (e.g., UMG9OOR on a 5-minute timeframe, as shown in the screenshot).
Go to the Pine Editor (at the bottom of the TradingView interface).
Copy and paste the provided code.
Click Compile and then Add to Chart.
Step 2: Configure the Indicator
Click on the indicator name on the chart ("CYCLE") and select Settings (or double-click the name).
Adjust the options based on your needs:
Cycle Phases: Enable/disable phases (Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution, Continuation/Reversal) and adjust their time slots if needed.
90-Minute Quarters: Enable/disable quarters (Q1-Q4).
Step 3: Interpret the Indicator
Identify Cycle Phases:
Observe the red boxes indicating the phases (Accumulation, Manipulation, etc.).
The high and low levels within each phase are potential support/resistance zones.
If volume is enabled, pay attention to the accumulated volume at highs and lows, as it may indicate the strength of those levels.
Use the 90-Minute Quarters (Q1-Q4):
The colored boxes (Q1-Q4) divide the day into 90-minute segments.
Each quarter shows the price range (high and low) during that period.
Use these boxes to identify price patterns within each quarter, such as breakouts or consolidations.
The labels (Q1, Q2, etc.) help you track time and anticipate potential moves in the next quarter.
Analyze Support and Resistance:
The high and low levels of each phase/quarter act as support and resistance.
Daily lines (if enabled) show key levels from the previous day, useful for planning entries/exits.
The "last 3 boxes below price" (if enabled) highlight potential support levels the price might target.
Avoid Manipulation:
During the Manipulation phase (0100-0700), be cautious of sharp moves or false breakouts.
Use the high/low levels of this phase to identify potential traps (as explained in your first question about manipulation candles).
Step 4: Trading Strategy
Entries and Exits:
Support/Resistance: Use the high/low levels of phases and quarters to set entry or exit points.
For example, if the price bounces off a Q1 support level, consider a buy.
Breakouts: If the price breaks a high/low of a quarter (e.g., Q2), wait for confirmation to enter in the direction of the breakout.
Volume: If accumulated volume is high near a key level, that level may be more significant.
Risk Management:
Place stop-loss orders below lows (for buys) or above highs (for sells) identified by the indicator.
Avoid trading during the Manipulation phase unless you have a specific strategy to handle false breakouts.
Time Context:
Use the quarters (Q1-Q4) to plan your trades based on time. For example, if Q3 is typically volatile in your market, prepare for larger moves between 03:00-04:30 UTC.
Step 5: Adjustments and Testing
Test on Different Timeframes: The indicator is set for a 5-minute timeframe (as in the screenshot), but you can test it on other timeframes (e.g., 1-minute, 15-minute) by adjusting the time slots if needed.
Adjust Colors and Styles: If the default colors are not visible on your chart, change them for better clarity.
---
📌 1. **Accumulation: Strong Institutional Activity**
- During the **accumulation phase, we see **high volume: 82.773K, which suggests strong buying interest**, likely from institutional players.
- This sets the base for the following upward move in price.
---
📌 2. **Manipulation: False Breakout with Lower Volume**
- Later, there's a manipulation phase where price breaks above previous highs, but the volume (71.814K) is **lower than during accumulation**.
- This implies that buyers are not as aggressive as before—no real demandbehind the breakout.
- It’s likely a bull trap, where smart money is selling into the breakout to exit their positions.
---
### 📌 3. Distribution: Weakness and Lack of Demand
- The market enters a distribution phase, and volume drops even further (only 7.914K).
- Price struggles to go higher, and you start seeing rejections at the top.
- This shows that demand is drying up, and smart money is offloading positions**—not accumulating anymore.
---
### 💡 Why Take the Short Here?
- Volume is not increasing with new highs—showing weak demand**.
- The manipulation volume is weaker than the accumulation volume, confirming the breakout was likely false.
- Structure starts to break down (Q levels falling), which confirms weakness.
- This creates a high-probability short setup:
- **Entry:** after confirmation of distribution and structural breakdown.
- **Stop loss:** above the manipulation high.
- **Target:** down toward previous lows or value zones.
---
### ✅ Conclusion
Since the manipulation volume failed to exceed the accumulation volume, the breakout lacked real strength. Combined with decreasing volume in the distribution phase, this indicates fading demand and supply taking control—which justifies entering a short position.
Schaff Trend Cycle (STC) - t0rdn3Schaff Trend Cycle (STC)
By t0rdn3 (original STC by , now with more descriptive naming)
Description
The Schaff Trend Cycle (STC) is a momentum-based oscillator that combines the speed of a fast EMA crossover with cyclical normalization. Developed by Doug Schaff, it identifies market turning points more responsively than MACD or RSI.
How It Works
1. EMA Difference : Calculates the difference between two EMAs of the source series (default: close).
2. Cycle Percentage : Normalizes that difference to a 0–100 range over the cycle period.
3. Smoothing : Applies exponential smoothing twice—first to the cycle percentage, then to its normalized cycles—to reduce noise.
4. Final STC Line : Produces a smoothed oscillator oscillating between 0 and 100.
Alerts
- "STC turned down above 75" : Fires once when STC makes a local peak above the upper threshold ( 75 ).
- "STC turned up below 25" : Fires once when STC makes a local trough below the lower threshold ( 25 ).
Inputs
Cycle Period : 12 — Lookback in bars for normalization
Fast EMA Length : 26 — Period of the fast EMA
Slow EMA Length : 50 — Period of the slow EMA
Smoothing Factor : 0.5 — Exponential smoothing coefficient (0–1)
Usage
Readings above 75 indicate an overbought cycle; readings below 25 indicate an oversold cycle. Crossings of the 50 midline can confirm trend direction:
- STC rising through 50 → bullish shift
- STC falling through 50 → bearish shift
Combine STC with price action or other trend filters to improve signal quality. You can adjust the cycle period and EMA lengths to match different timeframes or instruments.
3+ Consecutive Higher or Lower Closes (Full Highlight)This indicator identifies 3 or more sequential bars of higher/lower candle closes and highlights them on the chart.
Candle colour is adjustable.
This is the first edition and has a small issue where it only starts highlighting from the 3rd bar in the sequence.
I'll continue working on this to try to debug
Price Channel MarkerThis indicator identifies a dynamic price channel based on the most relevant recent price action. It draws two horizontal lines:
* 🔴 Red Line – Marks the high of the most recent red candle (bearish) whose high is just below the current price. It selects the red candle with the high closest in price to the current close, and ensures it is from a valid historical context (ignoring recent highs above the current price).
* 🟢 Green Line – Marks the low of the most recent green candle (bullish) whose low is just above the current price, also selected based on proximity to the current price.
Together, these two lines define a potential price compression zone or "trap" area — showing where price may currently be trading between recent supply (red candle) and demand (green candle). The lines update dynamically and extend into the future to help visualize breakout or rejection levels.
Use Cases:
* Spot potential breakout zones.
* Define short-term support and resistance.
* Filter for entries in range-bound or squeeze conditions.
Customization:
* Adjustable lookback range (up to 5000 bars).
* Colors and line style are easily customizable.

MACD Multi-Timeframe x4 (Custom Params)■About this indicator
・This indicator can display 4 MACD lines for different time frames. (Multi-time framework)
・The color of the MACD line changes when the MACD has a golden or dead cross.
All MACDs can be set individually for long time period, short time period, and signal smoothing.
All MACDs can show/hide MACD lines, signal lines, histograms, and select colors.
■Explanation of effective usage
By displaying MACDs in multiple time frames, you can time the push.
For example, let's say you have three MACDs: one weekly, one daily, and one hour.
With the weekly and daily MACDs continuing to golden cross, the timing for the hourly MACD to golden cross is considered a push opportunity.
An example chart is attached below for your reference.
The area circled vertically is a push-buying opportunity.
Yellow-green: Weekly Green: Daily Light blue: Hourly

Multi-Timeframe Closures with Signals month week dayMulti-Timeframe Price Anchoring Indicator (Monthly, Weekly, Daily)
This indicator provides a powerful visual framework for analyzing price action across three major timeframes: monthly, weekly, and daily. It plots the closing prices of each timeframe directly on the chart to help traders assess where current price stands in relation to significant historical levels.
🔍 Core Features:
Monthly, Weekly, and Daily Close Lines: Automatically updated at the start of each new period.
Color-coded Price Anchors: Each timeframe is visually distinct for fast interpretation.
Multi-timeframe Awareness: Helps you identify trend alignment or divergence across different time horizons.
Long & Short Bias Signals: The script can optionally display long or short suggestions based on where the current price stands relative to the anchored closing prices.
📈 How to Use:
Trend Confirmation: If price is consistently above all three levels, it signals a strong bullish trend (potential long bias). If it’s below, the opposite applies (short bias).
Reversal or Pullback Zones: When price becomes extended far above/below the monthly and weekly closes, it may suggest overbought/oversold conditions and the possibility of a reversal or retracement.
Intraday Alignment: Useful for traders who want to enter positions on lower timeframes while being aware of higher timeframe trends.
This indicator is ideal for swing traders, day traders, and position traders who want to anchor their decisions to meaningful multi-timeframe reference points.
Smart Adaptive MACDAn advanced MACD variant that dynamically adapts to market volatility using ATR-based scaling.
Key Features:
Volatility-sensitive MACD and Signal lengths
Optional smoothed MACD line
Dynamic histogram heatmap (strong vs. weak momentum)
Built-in Regular and Hidden Divergence detection
Clear visual signals via solid (regular) and dashed (hidden) divergence lines
What makes this different:
Unlike traditional MACD indicators with fixed-length settings, this version adapts in real time
to changing volatility conditions. It shortens during high-momentum environments for faster
reaction, and lengthens during low-volatility phases to reduce noise. This allows better
alignment with market behavior and cleaner momentum signals.
Divergence Detection – How It Works
The Smart Adaptive MACD detects both regular and hidden divergences by comparing price action with the smoothed MACD line. It uses recent pivot highs and lows to evaluate divergence and draws lines on the chart when conditions are met.
Regular Divergence Detection
This type of divergence signals potential reversals. It occurs when the price moves in one
direction while the MACD moves in the opposite.
Bullish Regular Divergence:
Price makes lower lows, but MACD makes higher lows.
Result: A solid green line is plotted beneath the MACD curve.
Bearish Regular Divergence:
Price makes higher highs, but MACD makes lower highs.
Result: A solid red line is plotted above the MACD curve.
Hidden Divergence Detection
This type of divergence signals trend continuation. It occurs when price pulls back slightly,
but the MACD shows deeper movement in the opposite direction.
Bullish Hidden Divergence:
Price makes higher lows, but MACD makes lower lows.
Result: A dashed green line is plotted below the MACD curve.
Bearish Hidden Divergence:
Price makes lower highs, but MACD makes higher highs.
Result: A dashed red line is plotted above the MACD curve.
How to Use:
This tool is best used alongside price structure, key support/resistance levels, or as a
secondary confirmation for your trend or reversal strategy. It is designed to enhance your
interpretation of market momentum and divergence without needing extra chart clutter.

Median Price RSI DeviationThis indicator is a smoothed RSI-based trend filter that combines median price smoothing, customizable moving averages, and standard deviation bands to identify bullish or bearish conditions:
=> It first smooths price using a median filter.
=> Then it calculates RSI on that smoothed price.
=> The RSI is further smoothed using a selectable moving average (e.g., DEMA, EMA).
=> Standard deviation bands are applied around this smoothed RSI.
Signals:
=> A bullish signal is triggered when the upper band exceeds a long threshold (default 50).
=> A bearish signal occurs when the smoothed RSI drops below a short threshold (default 40).

3. **A composite “Weighted BBP” histogram** blending normalized RSI, MACD, and BBP into a single view.

### Key Inputs
- **Length (EMA)** – look-back for the underlying EMA (default 60)
- **Normalization Length** – look-back window for peak-normalization (default 60)
- **Use ATR for Norm.** – toggle ATR-based normalization vs. highest-abs(BBP)
- **Show Tables** – toggle the bottom-right 21×11 grid of raw and average BBP values

### What You See
#### 1. Colored Bars (Overlay = false)
- Bars are colored by normalized BBP intensity:
- Extreme Bull (≥+10): deep blue
- Strong Bull (+5 to +10): green/yellow
- Weak Bull (+0 to +5): dark green
- Weak Bear (–0 to –5): dark red
- Strong Bear (–5 to –10): pink/red
- Extreme Bear (<–10): magenta
#### 2. Bottom-Right Table (20 Bars of Data)
- Divided into four columns (0–4, 5–9, 10–14, 15–19 bars ago) and one “average” row.
- Each cell shows:
1. Bar index (1–20),
2. Normalized BBP value (to four decimals),
3. Direction symbol (↑/↓/=),
4. Bar-to-bar change (± value),
5. A separator “|”.
- At the very bottom, each column’s 5-bar average is displayed as “Avg: X.XXXX” with a dot marker.
#### 3. Top-Center Mini-Table
- When ≥20 bars have elapsed, shows the date at 20 bars ago and the average BBP across the full 20-bar window.
#### 4. Normalized RSI Line
- Rescales the classic 14-period RSI into a –20…+20 band to align with BBP.
#### 5. MACD Lines (Hidden) & Composite Histogram
- MACD and signal lines are calculated but not plotted by default.
- A “Weighted BBP” histogram combines:
- 20% normalized RSI,
- 20% average of (MACD + signal + normalized BBP),
- 60% normalized BBP
- Plotted as columns, color-coded by strength using the same palette as the main bars.
#### 6. Middle Reference Line
- A horizontal zero line to anchor over/under-zero readings.

### How to Use It
- **Trend confirmation**: Strong blue/green bars alongside a rising histogram suggest bull conviction; strong reds/magentas signal bear dominance.
- **Divergence spotting**: Watch for price making new highs/lows while BBP or the histogram fails to follow.
- **Quartal analysis**: The 5-bar group averages can reveal whether recent momentum is accelerating or waning.
- **Cross-indicator weighting**: Because RSI, MACD, and raw BBP all feed into the final histogram, you get a smoothed, blended view of momentum shifts.

**Tip:** Tweak the EMA and normalization length to suit your preferred timeframe (e.g. shorter for intraday scalps, longer for swing trades). Enable/disable the table if you prefer a cleaner pane.
