Piv X# Piv X Pro - Multi-Layer Reversal Detection System
## Overview
Piv X Pro is an advanced technical analysis indicator that combines dynamic pivot detection, Williams %R momentum divergence analysis, and multiple VWAP anchoring methods to identify high-probability mean reversion opportunities. Unlike simple indicator combinations, this script implements a layered filtration system where each component validates and refines signals from the previous layer, resulting in significantly fewer but higher-quality reversal setups.
## Core Methodology
### 1. Dynamic ATR-Based Pivot Detection
The script uses an adaptive pivot detection algorithm that adjusts sensitivity based on market volatility. Instead of fixed lookback periods, pivot strength is calculated dynamically using Average True Range (ATR):
**Calculation:** `pivot_strength = max(min_strength, min(ATR / mintick * multiplier, max_strength))`
This ensures:
- More sensitive pivots in low volatility (smaller ATR)
- More significant pivots in high volatility (larger ATR)
- Automatic adaptation across different market conditions and timeframes
**Significance Filtering:** Pivots must exceed a minimum ATR distance from recent price action (default 0.3 ATR) to filter noise. This prevents minor price fluctuations from being marked as significant pivots.
**Volume Confirmation (Optional):** Pivots can optionally require volume spikes (default 1.5x average volume) to ensure institutional participation.
### 2. Williams %R Momentum Divergence Engine
The script detects classic and hidden divergences between price pivots and Williams %R oscillator readings:
**Bullish Divergence Detection:**
- Price makes a lower low (confirmed pivot low)
- Williams %R makes a higher low (momentum improving)
- Divergence occurs in oversold zone (Williams %R ≤ -80)
- Lookback range: 60 bars maximum
**Bearish Divergence Detection:**
- Price makes a higher high (confirmed pivot high)
- Williams %R makes a lower high (momentum weakening)
- Divergence occurs in overbought zone (Williams %R ≥ -20)
- Lookback range: 60 bars maximum
**Divergence-Anchored VWAPs:** When a divergence is detected, a new VWAP calculation begins from that point, tracking institutional positioning relative to the momentum shift. This provides a dynamic mean reversion target that resets at each confirmed divergence.
### 3. Confluence Scoring System
Each detected pivot receives a numerical score (0-150+ points) based on multiple independent confirmation factors:
**Scoring Components:**
- Base Pivot Detection: 10 points
- Volume Spike Confirmation: 15 points
- Higher Timeframe Trend Alignment (4H EMA): 20 points
- RSI Extreme Levels (oversold/overbought): 25 points
- Mean Reversion Distance (>2.5 ATR from HTF MA): 20 points
- Exhaustion Patterns (price move + volume spike): 10 points
- ATR Price Confirmation: 10 points
- RSI Divergence: 15 points
- Swing Failure Pattern (SFP): 15 points
- Liquidity Sweep: 10 points
- Candle Reversal Confirmation: 10 points
- Key Level Alignment (previous day/week highs/lows): 10 points
- Fair Value Gap (FVG) Fill: 10 points
- Session Weighting (London/NY sessions): 10 points
- Multi-Timeframe Pivot Confluence: 15 points
**Zone Classification:**
- Regular Zones: Score 60-89 (green/purple boxes)
- Golden Zones: Score 90+ (yellow boxes with thicker borders)
Higher scores indicate stronger confluence and higher probability setups, but no prediction is guaranteed.
### 4. Mean Reversion Distance Filter
The script calculates how far price has stretched from the higher timeframe moving average:
**Calculation:** `distance_from_htf_ma = (close - HTF_EMA) / ATR`
**Mean Reversion Condition:**
- For long setups: Price >2.5 ATR below HTF EMA when HTF trend is up
- For short setups: Price >2.5 ATR above HTF EMA when HTF trend is down
This ensures pivots are only highlighted when price is statistically stretched and likely to revert toward the mean.
### 5. Multi-Period VWAP Framework
The script provides multiple VWAP calculations for different analysis purposes:
**Extreme VWAPs:**
- Bottom VWAP: Anchored to the absolute lowest low in the lookback period (default 50 bars)
- Top VWAP: Anchored to the absolute highest high in the lookback period
**Periodic VWAPs:**
- 4D VWAP: Resets every 4 days
- 9D VWAP: Resets every 9 days
- 4H VWAP: Resets every 4 hours
- 8H VWAP: Resets every 8 hours
- Weekly VWAP: Resets at the start of each week
- Monthly VWAP: Resets at the start of each month
- Yearly VWAP: Resets at the start of each year
**Previous Period VWAPs:**
- Previous Weekly, Monthly, and Yearly VWAPs are displayed as reference levels for support/resistance
**Divergence VWAPs:**
- Bullish Divergence VWAP: Resets at each bullish Williams %R divergence
- Bearish Divergence VWAP: Resets at each bearish Williams %R divergence
### 6. IBSS Pro Mean Reversion System
An integrated scalping system that provides entry signals within high-probability pivot zones:
**Components:**
- Dual EMA System: Fast EMA (12) and Slow EMA (26) with color-coded trend visualization
- RSI Oversold/Overbought Detection: Configurable levels (default 30/70)
- Zone-Based Entry: Signals only trigger when price is within active pivot zones (0.3 ATR around confirmed pivots)
- ATR-Based Dynamic Stops: Stop losses trail with position using ATR multiplier
**Signal Generation:**
- Buy signals: RSI crosses above oversold + Fast EMA > Slow EMA + Price in pivot low zone
- Sell signals: RSI crosses below overbought + Fast EMA < Slow EMA + Price in pivot high zone
## Why This Combination is Unique
This is not a simple indicator mashup. The components work together in a specific hierarchy:
1. **Williams %R Divergence** identifies momentum shifts before price confirms the reversal
2. **Dynamic Pivots** mark actual price structure extremes with ATR-based significance filtering
3. **Confluence Scoring** quantifies setup quality using 10+ independent confirmation factors
4. **Mean Reversion Distance** confirms price is statistically stretched (>2.5 ATR from HTF MA)
5. **VWAP Framework** tracks institutional positioning and provides objective mean levels
6. **IBSS Signals** provide precise entries within high-probability zones
Each layer filters the previous one, resulting in significantly fewer but higher-quality signals than any single indicator alone. The divergence-anchored VWAPs are unique - they reset at momentum shifts rather than arbitrary time periods, providing more relevant mean reversion targets.
## How to Use This Indicator
### For Swing Trading (15m-1H Charts)
1. Wait for a major pivot to form (diamond marker appears below/above bars)
2. Check the confluence score displayed in the zone label
3. Look for Golden Zones (score 90+, yellow boxes with thicker borders)
4. Enter when price enters the pivot zone (0.3 ATR around the pivot)
5. Use the nearest VWAP level as first target
6. Set stop loss beyond the pivot zone (typically 0.5-1 ATR)
### For Scalping (5m-15m Charts)
1. Enable IBSS Pro Signals in settings
2. Wait for price to enter an active pivot zone (colored boxes appear)
3. Take IBSS diamond signals that form within zones
4. Use ATR-based stop losses (dashed lines appear automatically if enabled)
5. Exit at pivot VWAP or opposite zone edge
### Visual Elements Explained
- **White/Purple Crosses**: Williams Divergence VWAPs (momentum-based mean reversion targets)
- **Green/Red Crosses**: Bottom/Top VWAPs (absolute extreme levels)
- **Colored Boxes**: Pivot reversal zones (opacity indicates confluence score)
- **Yellow Boxes**: Golden zones (90+ score, highest probability setups)
- **Small Diamonds**: Regular pivot detections
- **Green/Red Tiny Diamonds**: IBSS scalp entry signals (if enabled)
- **White/Purple MAs**: IBSS trend filter (12/26 EMA with cloud)
- **Dotted Lines**: Structure lines connecting consecutive pivots of same type

## Chart Requirements
This indicator should be used **alone on a clean chart** with:
- Standard candlestick or bar chart type (NO Heikin Ashi, Renko, Point & Figure, or Range charts)
- No other indicators overlaid (all functionality is self-contained)
- Symbol and timeframe clearly visible in chart
- Full indicator name "Piv X Pro" visible in chart legend
## Important Disclaimers
- Past performance does not guarantee future results
- All signals are probabilistic indicators, not trading guarantees
- Use proper risk management and position sizing
- Test thoroughly on demo accounts before live trading
- Higher confluence scores indicate better setups but no prediction is certain
- Mean reversion strategies work best in ranging/choppy markets; may underperform in strong trending markets
- The lookahead bias warning: HTF EMA uses `barmerge.lookahead_on` for trend filtering only (not for signal generation), which may cause historical bars to show different trend states than real-time
## Key Differentiators
Unlike basic pivot or VWAP indicators:
- **Dynamic ATR-based pivot detection** vs static lookback periods
- **Quantified confluence scoring** vs subjective interpretation
- **Mean reversion distance filtering** (>2.5 ATR from HTF MA) vs all pivots shown
- **Divergence-anchored VWAPs** vs static period VWAPs
- **Multi-layer confirmation system** (10+ independent factors) vs single signal generation
- **Integrated scalping system** that only triggers in high-probability zones
This script is open-source and available for educational purposes. Users are encouraged to understand the methodology before using it for live trading decisions.
Reversal
Reversal Trading ChecklistUse to grade your reversal trades before execution.
Middle Half of hour refers to :15ish-:45ish when reversals are higher probability. After :45-:15 reversals have lower chance of occurring. Not a super highly weighted item but it will help.
Institutional Scanner FixHere is a professional Pine Script (Version 5) for TradingView. It is optimized to precisely identify the "Absorption" and "Reversal" signals.
What this script does for you:
Auto-Fibonacci: It automatically calculates the 0.618 Golden Ratio of the last 50 candles.
Volume Delta Check: It calculates the delta (buy volume minus sell volume) per candle.
Signal: It marks a "Buy Absorption" when the price touches the 0.618 level but the delta turns positive (green arrow).
The Volume Multiplier is your scanner's "sensitivity knob." It determines how much more volume compared to the average must flow for a signal to be classified as institutionally relevant. Here is the bank standard for calibration, based on your trading strategy and the asset's liquidity:
The rule-of-thumb values for the multiplier
Strategy Type | Recommended Value | Logic
Conservative (High Conviction) | 2.0 to 2.5 | Only extreme volume spikes are marked. Good for swing trades on a daily basis.
Standard (Day Trading) | 1.5 to 1.8 | The "sweet spot." Marks volume that is approximately 50-80% above average.
Aggressive (Scalping) | 1.2 to 1.3 | Reacts very quickly to small order flow changes but produces more "noise" (false signals).

Mkt-Viper ProMkt-Viper Pro
🔶 Overview
Mkt-Viper Pro is a comprehensive market intelligence suite designed to unify trend detection, structural analysis, and price action geometry into a single decision-making framework. Rather than relying on a single lagging calculation, Viper Pro utilizes a "Path Efficiency" model that weighs price movement against the energy (volatility and volume) required to achieve it.
The result is a chart overlay that separates statistically significant trend shifts from market noise. Traders receive adaptive Trend Signals based on volume and volatility thresholds, a background Trend Navigator Cloud for trend context, dynamic Kinetic Ranges for support/resistance, candle pattern detection, an automated Geometric Pattern engine, and much more detailed below. Internally, the system functions as a synaptic network—where momentum, volume, and price structure must align before a signal is validated.
In short, Mkt-Viper Pro is designed for traders who require a trend following and technical roadmap for filtering out low-quality volatility to focus on structural expansions and high-probability reversals.
🔶 What makes Mkt-Viper Pro unique?
Mkt-Viper Pro stands out by combining a volatility-adaptive trend engine with a complete confluence suite. Uniquely, it uses a "Path Efficiency" calculation to separate messy price action from true momentum, automatically filtering out noise during choppy markets. This core logic is then reinforced by multiple layers of environmental context—allowing you to check every move against the background Trend Navigator, Viper Band, Kinetic Ranges, geometric pattern engine and much more. Instead of relying on a single data point, the system provides you with suite of confluences to help you make well informed trading decisions.
Main Features
🔶 Viper Trend Signals
The core of the system is a sophisticated trend detection engine designed to filter out market noise. Instead of reacting to every minor price fluctuation, the algorithm evaluates momentum pressure relative to current volatility. It validates a directional shift only when the market exerts enough "energy" to breach calculated stability thresholds, ensuring that changes in trend are statistically significant rather than random noise.
These mechanics are translated onto the chart through a clean and intuitive visual interface:
Signal Logic:
Trend signals are generated when the price decisively shifts directional momentum. These are marked by clean Triangle Signals at the exact moment of the shift, keeping the chart uncluttered.
Trend Coloring:
To provide instant visual feedback on the market state, the indicator applies Candle Coloring in two distinct modes. Traders can choose a Static mode for clear, binary directional cues, or a Gradient mode that intensifies the color saturation as the trend gains strength and momentum.
Strong vs. Normal:
The system automatically grades every signal. A "Strong" classification is issued when the immediate momentum shift aligns perfectly with the broader, longer-term market context, identifying high-confluence setups with greater weight.
Auto-Tuning & Sensitivity Control
Market conditions are never static; volatility expands and contracts constantly. To address this, Viper Pro is equipped with a dual-mode calibration engine:
Auto-Tuning:
When enabled, the system actively measures "Path Efficiency"—calculating in real-time how choppy or direct price action is. It automatically adjusts its sensitivity, tightening validation criteria during clean trends and loosening them during chop to prevent false signals. Users can select from Fast, Moderate, or Slow profiles to suit their trading style.
Manual Tuning:
For traders who require fixed parameters for backtesting or specific asset classes, the system offers a granular 1–50 sensitivity dial. This allows for precise manual calibration to specific timeframes, giving you total control over how reactive the signals should be.
⚠️ Important:
These signals identify potential momentum shifts and should not be traded blindly. For high-probability outcomes, always validate the signal by ensuring it aligns with other confluences within the suite or other forms of technical analysis.
🔶 Trend Navigator Cloud
The Trend Navigator serves as the indicator’s "Context Awareness" layer, visualizing the broader ambient direction or "weather" of the market. Solving the classic dilemma between "lag" and "noise," this feature utilizes an Adaptive Flow Algorithm that adjusts its internal responsiveness based on real-time RSI and market velocity.
Smart Adaptation:
Instead of using a fixed lookback period that fails when market conditions change, the Navigator automatically detects the speed of price action. It tightens its tracking during impulsive trends to reduce lag, while loosening and smoothing itself during choppy consolidation to prevent false reversals.
Dynamic Structure:
The feature renders as a background cloud that expands and contracts with volatility. This creates a visual "breathing" support and resistance structure that naturally contains price action during healthy trends.
Usage:
Directional Bias:
When the Cloud is bullish color and below the trend, the macro environment is Bullish; look primarily for Long signals. When below the price action and bearish color, the environment is Bearish; focus on Short signals.
Trend Floor:
In established trends, the Cloud acts as a dynamic floor (or ceiling), highlighting high-probability zones for pullbacks and potential continuation entries.
Custom Tuning:
Users retain full control over the Navigator's behavior. You can enable Auto-Tuning to let the engine select the optimal sensitivity (Fast, Medium, or Slow) based on current conditions, or use the Manual Speed Dial (1–50) to fine-tune the cloud's reactivity to your specific timeframe or asset class.
🔶 Viper Band
The Viper Band is engineered as a multi-dimensional market utility, seamlessly consolidating four distinct technical concepts into a single, adaptive overlay. This unified approach provides a complete view of immediate price dynamics:
Trend Following:
It acts as an immediate directional filter. When the price is holding above the band, the short-term structure is Bullish; when below, it is Bearish. The band changes color dynamically to reinforce this state.
Dynamic Support & Resistance:
The outer edges of the band are volatility-adjusted. In a strong trend, the band creates a rising floor (or falling ceiling), acting as a trailing support zone where price often bounces to continue the move.
Market Equilibrium:
The center of the band represents the market's "fair value" or equilibrium point relative to the current timeframe. It filters out tick-by-tick noise to show the true mean price.
Price Magnet:
Because markets cannot stay overextended indefinitely, the Viper Band acts as a gravitational magnet. When price deviates too far from the band, it signals an overextended state, often preceding a "snap-back" or mean reversion event where price returns to the Band.
Usage:
Trend Health:
In a healthy, sustainable trend, the band often acts as a continuous trailing support or resistance zone.
Re-Entry:
For trend-followers, pullbacks that touch or test the Viper Band often present high-probability, low-risk opportunities to rejoin the dominant move.
🔶 Viper Kinetic Ranges (VKR)
Standard pivot points and static support lines often fail because they treat every trading session the same, ignoring the unique volatility profile of the current day. Viper Kinetic Ranges (VKR) solves this by generating dynamic Support and Resistance structures that actively adapt to the market's physical "energy."
Volume-Weighted Expansion:
Unlike standard volatility envelopes that rely solely on price range, VKR incorporates Volume Weighting. When volume flows into the market (e.g., during market opens or news events), the defined range automatically expands. This helps prevent "fake-out" signals by proving that the market needs more energy to validate a true breakout during high-activity periods.
State-Change Logic:
The levels do not drift aimlessly with every tick. Instead, they operate on a State-Change basis. The Support and Resistance levels remain locked and stable until the market exerts enough directional force to force a "state transition." When this happens, the levels "step" up or down to a new equilibrium zone. This stepping behavior helps traders visualize exactly when the market has accepted a new value area versus when it is simply ranging.
Concept:
Think of these levels as the "lungs" of the market. They expand and contract to show where price is statistically likely to find equilibrium or rejection based on the current expenditure of buying and selling energy.
Usage:
Trend Validation:
Use the central Equilibrium Level (Datum) as your directional "Line in the Sand." As long as price holds above this stepped line, the immediate value area is Bullish. A breach below signals a potential regime change.
Precision Targeting:
The outer Major Structures represent statistical exhaustion points extended by volatility. These are ideal, scientifically derived locations to set Take Profit orders or anticipate a mean-reversion bounce.
Support and Resistance:
Each level may produce some type of reaction and can act as support and resistance levels presenting potential opportunities for entries or profit taking.
🔶 Auto-Geometric Chart Patterns
Viper Pro features a "V7" pattern recognition engine that runs a continuous, frame-by-frame structural analysis of price action. Instead of waiting for a pattern to complete before drawing it (hindsight), this engine detects Wedges, Channels, and Triangles as they form in real-time.
Vertex Array Technology:
Unlike basic scripts that simply connect the highest highs and lowest lows, the Viper Engine stores historical pivot points in dynamic arrays. It analyzes the mathematical relationship between these points—calculating slope ratios and width consistency—to determine if a valid geometric structure exists.
⚠️ Technical Disclosure: Pattern Dynamic Regeneration
The Geometric Pattern Engine utilizes a process of "Functional Repainting" (Dynamic Object Regeneration). Because chart patterns such as Wedges and Channels are evolving structures, the indicator continuously re-evaluates the validity of vertices in real-time. As the price expands, trend lines will adjust to new market data to keep information relevant. Additionally, as price data unfolds, old patterns or invalidated patterns will be removed from the chart automatically in order to print a newer more recent pattern to keep your charts clean and up to date on the most recent price data.
🔶 Candle Pattern Recognition
The Candle Pattern Recognition Module utilizes a Context-Aware Engine to scan for high-probability Reversal and Continuation structures (Hammers, Stars, Dojis, and Absorptions).
Trend & Context Filtering:
A pattern is only as good as its location. The engine filters signals based on the broader trend (e.g., looking for Hammer candles only during downtrends and Falling Stars only during uptrends). This ensures you are trading reversals at logical structural points, not random noise.
Quality & Volume Logic:
The system includes an integrated "Quality Filter." It ignores patterns formed on low liquidity. For a signal to be valid, it must demonstrate a "Footprint of Interest"—verified by a relative spike in Volume or an expansion in ATR (Range) relative to the recent lookback period.
The Patterns:
Absorption:
Highlights powerful shifts in control (often called Engulfing) where one side decisively overtakes the other.
Stars & Hammers:
Pinpoints rejection wicks that signal exhaustion.
Dojis:
Identifies moments of indecision and potential equilibrium.
🔶 Swing Failure Pattern (SFP) Detection
Institutional trading often involves seeking liquidity at obvious structural levels. The SFP engine is designed to automatically detect these "Liquidity Sweeps" or "Bull/Bear Traps" where the market hunts for stop-losses before reversing.
The Logic:
The system actively monitors significant Pivot Points. An SFP is validated when the price pierces a key Pivot High or Low—taking out liquidity—but subsequently fails to hold that level and closes back within the previous range.
Visuals:
When a sweep occurs, the indicator plots a discrete dashed line connecting the original pivot to the current "sweep" candle. This visualizes the exact "Trap Zone" where breakout traders were caught offside, signaling a potential high-probability reversal opportunity.
Usage:
Fade the Breakout:
An SFP is a classic "Fade" signal. When a Bearish SFP appears at a high, it implies that buyers have potentially been trapped; traders often look for Short entries here. Conversely, a Bullish SFP at a low suggests sellers are trapped, offering a potential Long opportunity.
🔶 Reversal Cloud
The Reversal Cloud acts as a statistical boundary gauge, designed to visualize when price action has extended significantly beyond its average value. Markets typically spend the majority of their time within a standard distribution; this feature highlights the rare moments when volatility pushes price into statistical extremes.
The Logic:
The engine calculates a dynamic deviation envelope based on recent market volatility. Rather than predicting a specific turning point, it identifies zones where the market is "stretched" relative to its baseline. When price enters this colored "Horizon," it indicates that the current move is statistically extended, which historically correlates with periods of consolidation or mean reversion.
Visuals:
The feature renders as a shaded zone at the upper and lower limits of the chart. It remains passive during normal price action but highlights "Breach" events when price pushes into these outer deviation bands.
Usage:
Context Awareness:
Use the Cloud to gauge the maturity of a move. Entering new impulsive trades while inside the Reversal Cloud carries higher statistical risk, as the price is already far from equilibrium.
Reaction Watch:
For traders already in a position, a breach of the Cloud serves as a cue to tighten risk management or monitor for signs of momentum loss, as the market digests the recent expansion.
⚠️ Important Note:
While these zones represent statistical extremes, they are not hard barriers. In powerfully trending markets or during high-impact news events, price can "ride" or expand these bands for extended periods without reversing immediately. Do not trade these zones blindly; always wait for secondary confirmation of momentum loss (such as a structural break or a rejection candle) before anticipating a reversal.
🔶 Key Levels & Session Structure
Successful trading requires knowing where liquidity resides. Viper Pro automates the analysis of "Market Memory" by mapping significant historical and time-based structures directly onto your chart.
The Logic:
It automatically plots the Previous Day (PDH/PDL), Previous Week (PWH/PWL), and Previous Month (PMH/PML). These levels often act as major "Magnets" where price reverses or accelerates as it seeks liquidity.
Session Profiles:
Intraday price action is heavily influenced by the distinct behaviors of the global trading centers. This module highlights the trading ranges of the Asia, London, and New York sessions.
The Logic:
By visualizing the High and Low of the previous session, traders can spot "Session Sweeps"—a common phenomenon where the market manipulates price to break a prior session's high or low to trap traders before reversing.
Usage:
Confluence:
These levels serve as an excellent filter for Trend Signals. For example, a "Buy" signal generated directly below a Weekly High requires caution, whereas a signal bouncing off a Daily Low carries higher conviction.
Targeting:
Use these static structural levels as scientifically derived potential Take Profit zones, as price often pauses or reacts when testing these historical boundaries.
🔶 Opening Range Breakout (ORB)
The first 15 minutes of the trading session (09:30–09:45 ET) often establish the initial balance and sentiment for the entire trading day. The Viper ORB engine automates the identification of this critical volatility window.
The Logic:
The system defines the "Opening Range" by capturing the highest high and lowest low of the session's first 15 minutes. It waits for the opening time window to fully close before projecting the levels, ensuring you are planning trades against confirmed structure rather than developing noise.
Visuals:
Once the opening window concludes, two distinct levels (High and Low) are projected forward for the remainder of the session.
Usage:
Breakout Plays:
A clean close above the Opening Range High often signals strong buying intent, suggesting a trend day.
Range Fading:
If price breaks the range but fails to hold, price often rotates back to the opposite side of the opening range.
Support/Resistance Flip:
Later in the day, these levels often act as strong support or resistance when retested.
🔶 Visual Intelligence (Color Themes)
Visual clarity is essential for rapid decision-making. A cluttered or poorly contrasted chart can lead to cognitive fatigue. To address this, Mkt-Viper Pro features a global Color Theme Engine that instantly synchronizes every element of the suite—signals, candles, clouds, and text—to a unified palette.
The Presets:
The system comes with five professionally designed profiles to suit different trading environments and lighting conditions:
Viper Original: High-contrast Neon Green & Purple (Optimized for Dark Mode).
Classic: Standard Green/Red configuration for traditionalists.
Cool Blues: A calming Blue/Violet palette designed to reduce emotional reactivity.
Ember & Ash: High-warmth Orange/Slate contrast.
Monochrome: Grayscale/Silver logic for distraction-free structural analysis.
Customization:
Traders with specific branding requirements or accessibility needs (such as color blindness) can select "Custom Theme." This unlocks distinct color inputs, allowing you to define your own specific Bullish, Bearish, and Neutral colors that instantly propagate across the entire indicator suite.
🔶 How to use:
Mkt-Viper Pro is designed to reduce "Analysis Paralysis" by organizing data into a clear decision hierarchy. Rather than chasing every signal, we recommend a workflow based on Confluence:
Trend Continuation (The Pullback)
This is the highest probability approach, trading with the momentum.
1. Identify Trend:
Ensure the Viper Trend Signal is Bullish and the Navigator Cloud is bullish.
2. Wait for Value:
Do not chase pumps. Wait for price to pull back into the Navigator Cloud or the center of the Viper Band .
3. Trigger:
Look for a specific confirmation candle (e.g., a Hammer or Bullish Absorption ) to form within that support zone.
4. Target:
Target the next Kinetic Range (VKR) resistance level above.
Structural Reversal (The Fade)
1. Identify Exhaustion:
Wait for price to push into the Reversal Cloud (Statistical Extreme) or hit a major HTF Level (e.g., Previous Week High).
2. Spot the Trap:
Watch for an SFP (Swing Failure Pattern) or a Geometric Wedge pattern to form, indicating momentum loss.
3. Confirmation:
Wait for a counter-trend Candle Pattern (e.g., Falling Star) or a flip in the Viper Trend Signal before entering. Trying to catch a falling knife without this confirmation is not recommended.
The Breakout
Trading expansion from consolidation.
Context: Identify a tightening Geometric Pattern (Triangle) or a clearly defined
Opening Range (ORB) .
Expansion: Wait for a clean candle close outside of the pattern/range.
Validation: Ensure the breakout moves through the Kinetic Range Equilibrium , proving that real volume is backing the move.
Note:
Mkt-Viper Pro is engineered as a complete standalone system for Trend and Structural analysis. However, it also functions as the core "Chart Overlay" module within the wider Mkt-Viper 3-part ecosystem. It is calibrated to synchronize visually and mathematically with its sister scripts, ensuring a unified data view without conflicting signals.
🔶 Realistic Expectations & Risk Management
It is vital to understand that Mkt-Viper Pro is a technical analysis instrument, not a crystal ball. No algorithm can predict the future with 100% certainty. The goal of this system is not to eliminate losses, but to provide a statistical edge by aligning multiple factors of confluence.
Win Rate vs. Risk/Reward:
High-probability trading is not just about "Win Rate"; it is about the relationship between Risk and Reward.
The Edge:
By using the SFP wicks or Viper Band extremes for tight stop-loss placement, and targeting the Kinetic Ranges for exits, the system is designed to identify setups with favorable Risk-to-Reward ratios (e.g., 1:2 or 1:3).
The Reality:
Even a system with a modest win rate can be highly profitable if the winning trades are larger than the losing trades. This suite is built to help you identify those skewed opportunities.
Market Conditions & Drawdown:
Like all trend-following systems, the greatest risk occurs during undefined, choppy range-bound markets where price whipsaws without momentum.
While the "Path Efficiency" filter is designed to minimize this, false signals can and will occur during periods of low liquidity.
Mitigation:
We strongly recommend avoiding entries when the Navigator Cloud is flat/contracted (indicating zero momentum) or when price is stuck between two tight Kinetic Range levels.

Viper Oscillator🔶 Overview
The Mkt-Viper Oscillator is a specialized Kinetic Momentum Engine engineered for Precision Timing and energy measurement. It serves as a high-fidelity market oscilloscope, designed to decode the raw velocity of price action and identify high-probability entry and exit points with enhanced clarity.
Markets move with varying degrees of force and resistance. Mkt-Viper Oscillator analyzes this behavior by utilizing a Kinetic Momentum Model. It measures Price Displacement against Market Viscosity (a dynamic resistance filter) to determine the true energy behind a move. By filtering out low-energy "drift," this approach allows traders to gauge the true strength of a trend and identify moments of momentum exhaustion or renewal.
🔶 What makes Mkt-Viper Oscillator unique?
The Viper Oscillator distinguishes itself through its Multi-Dimensional Calculation Matrix. Rather than relying on a single data source, it fuses Price Action, Volume Flow, and Volatility (Z-Score) into a single output.
The core engine measures Market Inertia. By applying a "Denoising Kernel" and recursive smoothing algorithms, it filters out erratic ticks to visualize the smooth, hydrodynamic flow of money entering and exiting the asset, providing a clearer picture of market intent.
Main Features
🔶 The Core Oscillator
The central Line or Ribbon of the oscillator represents the "Engine Core." It visualizes the battle between momentum (Torque) and resistance (Drag).
Visual Modes:
Standard:
Uses a multi-layered rendering technique (Core + Outer Glow) to create a crisp, high-visibility "Neon" line.
Ribbon Mode:
Displays a Signal Line cross system. When the fast line crosses the slow "Trail," it signals a micro-shift in momentum.
Momentum Flips:
The oscillator plots discrete Circles on the ribbon when the slope flips direction. These mark the precise moment momentum shifts from expansion to contraction.
🔶 Kinetic Exhaustion Zones
Standard oscillators often use static lines (like 70/30) that provide little context on trend strength. The Viper Oscillator replaces these with dynamic Kinetic Exhaustion Zones.
The Logic:
These zones represent the limits of "Market Torque." Instead of a binary On/Off signal, the zones function as a gradient stress field.
Visuals (Adaptive Glow):
The system utilizes a programmed opacity gradient.
Fade In:
The zones begin to materialize when the Core passes a certain threshhold (Moderate Momentum).
Maximum Glow:
As the oscillator begins to travel deeper beyond the threshold (Peak Torque), the zones glow with maximum intensity, signaling that the move is becoming statistically stretched or overextended.
Usage:
In a strong trend, the oscillator can "pin" inside the glow zone. This is a sign of immense strength, not a reversal. The reversal signal occurs when the Core exits the glow zone and returns toward the mean.
🔶 Z-Score Velocity Line
Floating above the main oscillator is the Velocity Line (Thin Line). This is not just a second oscillator; it is a volatility-adjusted Z-Score.
The Logic:
It measures the speed of price change relative to the current volatility conditions.
Usage:
When the Velocity Line spikes aggressively while the main Oscillator moves slowly, it is an early warning sign for a potential pullback.
🔶 Money Flow Wave (Background)
The background of the oscillator features a subtle, filled "Wave." This is the Money Flow Index (MFI) overlay.
The Logic:
This layer tracks volume-weighted price action. It allows you to see Divergences between Price and Volume.
Usage:
If the Kinetic Core (Price Momentum) is making a Higher High, but the Money Flow Wave (Volume) is making a Lower Low, it indicates a "Hollow Rally" lacking institutional backing.
🔶 Sigma Sniper Signals
The system constantly monitors Volume Volatility using a 3.0 Sigma (Standard Deviation) threshold.
Visuals:
When a volume spike exceeds 3 standard deviations from the mean (a statistical anomaly), a small "⌃" or "⌄" symbol appears at the top or bottom of the panel.
Meaning:
This marks a potential Volume Climax. It signifies potential capitulation (panic selling) or euphoria (fomo buying). These points are possibly probable reversal areas.
🔶 Trend Power Bar
Located at the very bottom of the pane is the Trend Power Bar. This is a binary filter designed to keep you on the right side of the macro flow.
The Logic:
It uses a "Linkage Kernel" (Correlation Coefficient) to measure the alignment of the trend.
Green:
Macro Trend is Bullish.
Red:
Macro Trend is Bearish.
Opacity:
The bar becomes transparent when the trend is weakening, warning you of potential consolidation.
🔶 Fractal Divergences
Timing reversals requires spotting the disconnect between price and momentum. The Divergence Engine uses Fractal Geometry to detect these setups automatically.
Regular Divergence:
Draws lines connecting peaks or valleys where Price pushes further but Momentum fails to follow. These are potential reversal signals.
🔶 Synthetic Resolution Scaler (MTF)
Traders often need to see higher-timeframe momentum without changing charts. The Resolution Scaler allows you to project higher-timeframe data onto your current chart.
How it works:
Instead of using repainting request.security calls, the script mathematically scales the internal lookback periods (Lengths) to simulate higher timeframes (e.g., viewing Hourly momentum on a 15-minute chart) while maintaining smooth, real-time updates.
🔶 Visual Intelligence (Theme Engine)
Visual clarity is essential for rapid decision-making. A cluttered or poorly contrasted chart can lead to cognitive fatigue. To address this, the Viper Oscillator features a global Color Theme Engine that instantly synchronizes every element of the suite—signals, candles, clouds, and text—to a unified palette.
The Presets:
The system comes with five professionally designed profiles to suit different trading environments and lighting conditions:
Viper Original: High-contrast Neon Green & Purple (Optimized for Dark Mode).
Classic: Standard Green/Red configuration for traditionalists.
Cool Blues: A calming Blue/Violet palette designed to reduce emotional reactivity.
Ember & Ash: High-warmth Orange/Slate contrast.
Monochrome: Grayscale/Silver logic for distraction-free structural analysis.
Customization:
Traders with specific branding requirements or accessibility needs (such as color blindness) can select "Custom Theme." This unlocks distinct color inputs, allowing you to define your own specific Bullish, Bearish, and Neutral colors that instantly propagate across the entire indicator suite.
🔶 How to use: The "Timing" Workflow
Mkt-Viper Oscillator is designed to filter out premature entries. Rather than catching falling knives, we recommend a workflow based on Momentum Structure:
Strategy: Momentum Continuation (The HL/LH Setup)
The highest probability entries occur when momentum resets but the trend structure remains intact.
Trend Context:
Ensure the Trend Power Bar is Green (Bullish) or Red (Bearish).
Wait for Structure:
Do not buy the first dip. Wait for the Kinetic Core to print a Higher Low (HL) in a bullish trend or a Lower High (LH) in a bearish trend. This "Momentum Stair-Step" confirms that counter-trend energy has been exhausted.
The Trigger:
Enter when a Momentum Flip Circle (Dot) appears after this Higher Low or Lower High is established.
Exit:
Take profits when the Velocity Line spikes into the extremes or a Divergence line appears.
While powerful as a standalone unit, this engine is mathematically calibrated to pair with the Mkt-Viper Pro (Trend) and Mkt-Viper Edge (Structure) indicators.
Important:
This indicator is intended to be used with additional confluences and key areas. It is not recommended to blindly buy or sell the momentum flip dots.
🔶 Realistic Expectations & Methodology
Oscillator Lag:
All oscillators are derivative of price and inherently possess some lag. The "Kinetic" math reduces this lag significantly, but it cannot eliminate it entirely as it must process past data.
Signal Confirmation:
The "Flip Circles" and Reversal signals are confirmed on candle close. While they do not repaint history, they will wait for the bar to close before locking in. This is a safety feature to prevent fake-outs.
Trending vs. Ranging:
Oscillators perform best in Ranging markets or during Pullbacks in a trend. Using Overbought/Oversold signals blindly during a parabolic trend is dangerous, as momentum can stay "Overbought" for extended periods. Always check the Trend Power Bar context.

Manipulation Candle IndicatorManipulation Candle Indicator – User Guide
Overview
This indicator identifies potential reversal setups based on larger 15-minute “manipulation” candles and provides entry signals on the 5-minute chart. A manipulation candle is defined as a 15-minute candle whose range exceeds a user-defined percentage of the daily ATR. The reversal entry is triggered when the next 5-minute candle breaks the close of the first opposite-color 5-minute candle following the manipulation candle.
This tool is designed for intraday traders who want a visual representation of high-probability reversal zones without cluttering the chart with additional lines or automated orders.
Inputs
General
Daily ATR Length: Number of periods to calculate the daily ATR.
15m Manipulation (% Daily ATR): Minimum percentage of the daily ATR required for a 15-minute candle to be considered a manipulation candle.
Session Filters
Use Session Filters: Enable or disable session filtering.
Session 1 / Session 2: Define time windows when the indicator will detect manipulation candles and trigger entries.
Label Toggles
Show Bull Manipulation Label: Show or hide the label for bullish manipulation candles.
Show Bear Manipulation Label: Show or hide the label for bearish manipulation candles.
Show Long Entry Label: Show or hide the label for long reversal entry.
Show Short Entry Label: Show or hide the label for short reversal entry.
How It Works
Identify Manipulation Candles (15m)
The indicator continuously monitors 15-minute candles.
If a candle’s range exceeds the defined percentage of the daily ATR, it is marked as a manipulation candle.
Labels are plotted for bullish or bearish manipulation candles depending on candle direction, if toggled on.
Arm Reversal Setup
After a manipulation candle, the script waits for the first opposite-color 5-minute candle.
For a bullish manipulation, the script waits for a red 5-minute candle.
For a bearish manipulation, the script waits for a green 5-minute candle.
Trigger Entry
Once the opposite 5-minute candle is confirmed, the next 5-minute candle breaking the close of that candle triggers a reversal entry.
Labels are plotted for long or short entries based on the reversal direction, if toggled on.
Session Filtering
The indicator only detects manipulation candles and triggers entries during active session windows if session filters are enabled.
Usage Tips
Apply the indicator to a 5-minute chart. The 15-minute manipulation candle is calculated in the background.
Adjust the ATR length and manipulation percentage to match the volatility of your instrument.
Use session filters to restrict signals to the most active trading periods.
Use label toggles to declutter the chart or focus only on certain signals.
This indicator does not execute trades automatically. It is meant for visual analysis and manual entries.

Mr. SnappyMr. Snappy is an advanced VWAP mean reversion indicator designed to identify high-probability price reversals when markets become overextended from the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP). Like a curveball that appears to be going one direction before snapping back, Mr. Snappy identifies when price has stretched too far from VWAP and is primed to snap back to equilibrium. Built for intraday traders seeking precision entries with clearly defined risk management.
CORE FEATURES:
Adaptive ATR-Based Bands - Dynamic threshold zones that adjust to market volatility
Auto ATR Technology - Automatically calibrates band placement based on historical price behavior within a 20-40% ATR range, analyzing where price has historically reversed near VWAP to create "brick wall" resistance levels
Predictive Band Algorithms - Five experimental modes for advanced traders:
• Recent Reversal Points: Averages historical reversal distances
• Volume-Weighted Reversal: Weights reversals by volume significance
• Failed Breakout Detection: Tracks where momentum breaks failed
• Multi-Timeframe Confluence: Analyzes higher timeframe VWAP distances
• Linear Regression Channel: Statistical deviation bands
Dual Signal System - Overextended mean reversion signals for stretched price action plus VWAP reaction signals for bounces and rejections in trending markets
Automatic SL/TP Lines - Extends stop loss and take profit lines forward until price hits them, keeping your risk management visible throughout the trade
Flexible Take Profit Targeting - Multiple TP calculation methods:
• VWAP (classic mean reversion target)
• VWAP Bands (opposite band target)
• Fixed Risk-Reward Ratios (1:1 through 7:1)
• 50% Pivot Retracement
• Percentage to Daily High/Low
Confirmation Logic - Optional two-candle confirmation system requiring directional movement before signal trigger, filtering whipsaw entries while adding slight delay
Overextended Tolerance - Adjustable buffer zone from 0-50% requiring price to extend beyond the bands by a specified amount before triggering signals, preventing premature entries on minor extensions
CUSTOMIZATION OPTIONS:
Toggle between manual ATR threshold or Auto ATR for dynamic adjustment
Show or hide bands and fills for clean chart presentation while keeping signals visible
Adjustable pivot types - Local pivots for recent price action or Swing pivots for longer-term reference points
Multi-timeframe analysis support for confluence trading
Fully customizable ATR length, lookback periods, tolerance levels, and band calculation methods
USE CASES:
Scalping overextended moves that snap back to VWAP
Day trading mean reversion setups on liquid instruments
Fading extreme deviations when price stretches beyond statistical norms
VWAP bounce and rejection plays in trending conditions
Quick reaction trades when price touches VWAP in a defined trend
RISK DISCLAIMER:
VWAP resets daily at the start of each trading session. If holding trades across sessions, take profit targets may become invalid as VWAP recalculates. Always reference the NEW VWAP level as your exit target after reset. Consider closing positions before session end or manually adjusting targets. TP lines do NOT auto-update after VWAP reset.
This indicator is a tool for technical analysis and does not constitute financial advice. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Always use proper risk management and position sizing.
BEST PERFORMANCE:
Mr. Snappy works optimally on liquid instruments including stocks, futures, forex majors, and cryptocurrency on intraday timeframes ranging from 1-minute to 15-minute charts. Higher timeframes may produce signals but mean reversion setups are strongest on shorter intervals where VWAP acts as a strong gravitational center.
Experimental features including Auto ATR and Predictive Bands are clearly marked with visual warnings when active. These advanced algorithms may impact performance on lower-end devices when analyzing extensive historical data.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS:
Uses daily ATR for volatility-adjusted bands
VWAP calculation includes volume weighting for institutional price levels
Pivot-based stop loss placement using recent swing highs and lows
Local pivot lookback default: 2 bars | Swing pivot lookback default: 5 bars
Auto ATR analysis period: 50 bars (configurable 20-200)
Maximum active SL/TP lines: 50 (automatic cleanup)
Overextended tolerance default: 1%
Manual ATR threshold default: 30%
Premium indicator developed for serious intraday traders who demand precise entries, disciplined exits, and adaptive market analysis. Mr. Snappy identifies when price has thrown a curveball and is ready to snap back to the mean.
SA Trump Volatility Pattern Wick + Volume Shock ReversalDisclaimer (read first)
Educational use only — not financial advice. This script does not provide entries/exits, targets, position sizing, or profit guarantees. Trading (especially options/futures) involves substantial risk and can result in loss of principal (and more for leveraged products). Use at your own discretion.
Best use cases on the 2-Hour timeframe
On 2H, this script becomes a high-signal-quality “shock reversal” detector instead of a noisy candle toy. You’re essentially filtering for:
Large wick rejection
Small real body
Statistically unusual volume (Z-score > threshold)
Context alignment (trend filter + prior bar direction + optional RSI)
What 2H is best for
1) Detecting “event shock” reversals
2H bars often capture:
Macro headlines
Fed commentary
earnings reactions (for equities)
sudden volatility expansions
When the script fires on 2H, it often means:
“Aggressive push happened, liquidity got rejected, and participation was unusually high.”
That’s a structural clue, not a trade instruction.
2) Filtering false breakouts / breakdowns
The wick requirement is basically “failed continuation.”
On 2H, this is powerful around:
prior day highs/lows
weekly pivots
obvious consolidation edges
key moving averages (fast SMA / slow SMA gate)
Bull pattern = flush + reclaim behavior.
Bear pattern = pop + rejection behavior.
3) Options traders: timing “premium exposure windows”
On 2H, this is great for options traders who want to avoid buying premium into a fake move.
BullTrump on 2H can be used as a “don’t chase puts / be cautious short” context shift.
BearTrump on 2H can be used as a “don’t chase calls / be cautious long” context shift.
It’s a “regime hint” for the next few sessions, not a one-bar command.
4) Futures traders: rotation vs continuation framework
A 2H “Trump Candle” often marks:
the end of a liquidation leg
a stop-run / squeeze peak
a pivot moment where the market shifts from impulse to balance
Use it to decide whether you’re in:
continuation mode (trend carries)
or rotation mode (mean-reversion / two-way)
How to use it (2H workflow)
Step A — Keep it strict at first
Recommended defaults for 2H:
wickFracThreshold: 0.40–0.55
bodyMaxFrac: 0.35–0.45
volZThresh: 1.0–1.5
useRSIFilter: ON
RSI bull min / bear max: 45 / 55 (good baseline)
Step B — Treat triggers as “context events”
When it prints, ask 3 questions:
Where did it happen? (key level or random spot)
Was it aligned with trend gate? (SMA fast/slow)
Did volume Z-score spike? (true shock vs normal wick)
Higher quality triggers happen when:
the wick pierces a known level (prior swing / range edge)
and the close re-enters the range
and volume Z-score is meaningfully positive
Step C — Confirm with the next 1–2 candles (optional)
On 2H, it’s reasonable to wait for:
a follow-through close
or a hold above/below fast SMA
or a second “acceptance” candle
You can do this manually without changing code.
Other recommended timeframes (best to worst)
✅ 4H (even cleaner, fewer signals)
Use for:
swing context
multi-day pivots
big reversal points
✅ 1H (more signals, still structured)
Use for:
intraday + overnight context
day-trade bias shifts
✅ 30m (for active traders)
Use for:
tighter responsiveness
more setups
But requires more discretion; noise increases.
⚠️ 15m and below (only if you increase strictness)
If you want to run it on 5m/15m:
raise volZThresh (ex: 1.5–2.0)
raise wickFracThreshold (ex: 0.50–0.65)
lower bodyMaxFrac (ex: 0.25–0.35)
Otherwise it will trigger too often.
Best markets for this script
Works best on:
Index futures: /NQ, /ES (big volume makes Z-score meaningful)
Liquid ETFs: SPY, QQQ
High-volume large caps (AAPL, MSFT, NVDA etc.)
Less reliable on:
thin small caps (volume Z-score gets weird)
low-volume premarket candles
illiquid options underlyings

Signal Architect Stop-HuntStop-Hunt Proxy (Auto-Config) — Signal Architect™
What this script does
The Stop-Hunt Proxy is a market-structure and liquidity observation tool designed to highlight areas where stop-loss liquidity is likely raided and price fails to continue, often revealing absorption or auction failure behavior.
This script does not predict direction.
It does not authorize trades.
It identifies where intent failed, not what price must do next.
Think of it as a liquidity awareness layer, not a signal system.
Core behavior detected
The script combines several structural components:
Prior swing highs / lows
Areas where stop-loss orders often cluster.
ATR-scaled liquidity zones
Zones automatically expand or contract based on volatility.
Wick dominance
Long wicks relative to range suggest failed continuation.
Absorption proxies (BSP / VDP)
Volume-weighted pressure imbalance that may indicate opposition.
VWAP interaction (optional)
Reclaim or failure provides auction context.
When these align, the script highlights a stop-hunt (liquidity harvest) event.
Visual elements
Liquidity Zones (Clouds)
Zones appear above prior highs and below prior lows.
Thickness adapts automatically to current volatility.
These represent areas of potential stop-loss concentration.
Stop-Hunt Arrows
Arrows appear only when multiple filters align, such as:
Liquidity zone is raided
Wick structure shows rejection
Optional absorption behavior is present
Optional VWAP context confirms failure or reclaim
An arrow means:
Liquidity was taken and continuation failed.
It does NOT mean:
A reversal is guaranteed
A trade should be taken
Price must move in a certain direction
Suggested timeframes (IMPORTANT)
This script is most reliable on larger intraday and higher timeframes, where liquidity structure is clearer and noise is reduced.
⭐ Best-performing timeframes
30-minute
1-hour
2-hour
4-hour
Daily (context only)
Acceptable lower timeframes (with caution)
15-minute
5-minute (structure confirmation only)
Lower timeframes may produce more frequent signals, but also more noise and false context. The strength of this tool increases as timeframe increases.
Best use cases
This script is best used for:
Identifying liquidity harvest events
Detecting failed breakouts or breakdowns
Providing context for WAIT vs observe
Confirming auction failure before continuation elsewhere
Complementing:
VWAP / Anchored VWAP
Auction or market-state models
Volatility and participation analysis
It is especially useful during:
Range-to-rotational markets
Post-breakout failures
Areas of obvious prior highs/lows
What this script is NOT designed for
❌ Trade automation
❌ Buy/sell alerts
❌ Scalping systems
❌ Predictive forecasting
❌ Profit modeling
If you are looking for explicit trade instructions, this script is not intended for that purpose.
How to use it correctly
Observe the zone
Did price raid a prior high or low?
Observe the reaction
Did price fail to continue after taking liquidity?
Check the context
VWAP behavior
Volatility regime
Higher-timeframe structure
Assign NO immediate outcome
The correct response is often WAIT.
This tool helps answer:
Where was liquidity taken?
Did price accept or reject after?
Is intent being revealed or denied?
Design philosophy — Signal Architect™
Markets move through liquidity, not opinion.
This script exists to highlight where the market attempted something and failed, which is often more informative than where it succeeded.
Liquidity was taken. Intent was revealed. Outcome remains unassigned.
Final reminder
Educational use only.
Not financial advice.
Trading and investing involve substantial risk, including possible loss of principal.
Signal Architect Stop-Hunt (Auto-Config) 🧠 Signal Architect™
Stop-Hunt Proxy (Auto-Config) — HOW TO USE IT
What this is:
A liquidity-raid + absorption detector that highlights when stops are likely swept and price fails to continue, implying forced positioning + reversal risk.
This is NOT:
a momentum indicator
a breakout tool
a trend follower
It is a reaction-point locator.
1️⃣ WHAT THE STUDY IS ACTUALLY SHOWING
A. Zones (the clouds)
These are where stops cluster:
🔴 Red Zone (Above highs) → short stops likely
🟢 Green Zone (Below lows) → long stops likely
They are built from:
prior swing high / swing low
ATR-scaled thickness
volatility-adaptive sizing
👉 If price never enters a zone, nothing is happening.
B. The Trigger (arrows)
An arrow only prints when ALL of this occurs:
Price raids stops
wicks into a stop zone
Fails to continue
wick dominance ≥ threshold
Absorption occurs
volume shows opposition (BSP vs VDP)
VWAP context holds
reclaim (bull) or failure (bear)
This is liquidity taken — not continuation.
2️⃣ WHEN THIS STUDY IS VALID (VERY IMPORTANT)
✅ BEST CONDITIONS
Use this only when:
Market is range-to-rotational
VWAP is active and respected
ATR is expanding or elevated
Prior highs/lows are obvious
This is excellent for:
/NQ, /ES, /RTY
QQQ, SPY
Large-cap equities
❌ DO NOT USE WHEN
Strong trend day
VWAP is irrelevant
News-driven vertical expansion
Low-volume chop
If you ignore this, it will intentionally NOT perform.
3️⃣ HOW TO EXECUTE A SIGNAL (STRUCTURAL LOGIC)
This is not “buy/sell” — this is position framing.
🟢 Bullish Stop-Hunt Arrow (below price)
Meaning
Long stops were raided → sellers absorbed → price failed lower.
Correct response
Expect mean reversion
Expect VWAP / value re-test
Expect range repair
DO NOT
Chase the arrow
Assume trend reversal
Ignore higher-TF bias
🔴 Bearish Stop-Hunt Arrow (above price)
Meaning
Short stops were raided → buyers absorbed → price failed higher.
Correct response
Expect pullback
Expect VWAP fade
Expect range rotation
4️⃣ TIMEFRAME USAGE (THIS MATTERS)
Chart TF Use Case
1–3m Entry refinement only
5–15m ⭐ PRIMARY
30m Range structure
1H Bias only
This study is NOT designed for:
Daily charts
Very low-liquidity names
5️⃣ HOW IT FITS INTO YOUR SYSTEM (KEY)
This study should NEVER stand alone.
Best pairings:
VWAP / Anchored VWAP
Your Auction / Trap studies
Gamma / Charm context
Range / balance logic
Think of it as:
“The market tried to go somewhere… and failed.”
That’s information — not a trade.
6️⃣ INPUT TUNING (PRACTICAL)
Default (balanced)
swingLookback: 20
wickRatio: 0.60
autoZoneScale: ON
useVWAPfilter: ON
useAbsorption: ON
More aggressive (scalp)
wickRatio: 0.50
confirmWithinBars: 1
More selective (swing)
wickRatio: 0.65–0.70
confirmWithinBars: 0
7️⃣ WHAT THIS STUDY MAKES YOU AWARE OF
This tool teaches you to see:
where liquidity was taken
where institutions opposed
where retail is trapped
where price is vulnerable
That awareness is the edge.
✅ 1) WHY YOU MIGHT NOT SEE ARROWS FIRING
There are a few reasons this can happen:
🔹 A) SIGNAL LOGIC IS TOO STRICT
This indicator only prints arrows when all of these conditions are met:
A stop zone is raided (wick touches the zone)
Wick shape passes the ratio filter
VWAP requirement passes (if enabled)
Absorption tell passes (if enabled)
Optional confirm within N bars logic passes
If your market / timeframe never satisfies all, arrows won’t show.
🔹 B) INPUTS MAY BE TOO SELECTIVE
Defaults are conservative:
wickRatio = 0.60
confirmWithinBars = 0
Try these relaxed settings:
wickRatio -> 0.50
useVWAPfilter -> false
useAbsorptionOK -> false
confirmWithinBars -> 1
That means:
👉 Loose filter → more possible arrow prints
🔹 C) ZONE DEFINITIONS MAY BE OFF FOR YOUR TF OR MARKET
Zones are drawn off the last 20-bar swing. If your chart isn’t finding sharp swings, raids may be rare.
Try:
swingLookback -> 10
🔹 D) VISUAL SETTINGS BLOCK THEM
If showArrows = false or labels are overlapping, arrows may not draw clearly.
Set:
showArrows -> true
👉 QUICK TEST MODE
Apply these settings on a live chart (like /ES 5m):
swingLookback = 10
wickRatio = 0.50
useVWAPfilter = false
useAbsorptionOK = false
confirmWithinBars = 1
Then scroll a few bars back and reload.
If arrows still don’t show, tell me:
📌 which ticker
📌 which timeframe
📌 a sample date/time range

EMA Spread Exhaustion DetectorEMA Spread Exhaustion – Reversal Scalper's Tool
Identifies trend exhaustion for high-probability counter-trend entries. Triggers when EMA(4/9/20) stack is fully aligned and spread stretches beyond ±ATR threshold. Ideal confluence for TDI hooks + strong rejection candles on 15s charts. Visual markers, fills, and alerts for quick scalps.
Advanced Momentum TrackerThe Advanced Momentum Tracker (AMT) is a technical indicator designed to identify high-probability trend reversals and momentum shifts in real-time. Unlike traditional indicators that rely solely on mathematical formulas, AMT analyzes price action structure and historical patterns to detect when market momentum is shifting from bullish to bearish (and vice versa).
Core Methodology:
The indicator tracks consecutive price movements and maintains a comprehensive database of historical momentum patterns. It identifies trend changes by analyzing:
Sequential candle relationships (opens and closes)
Break of key trailing stop levels formed by recent price action
Historical success rates of similar momentum patterns
Key Features
1. Dynamic Levels:
Automatically plots real-time dynamic trailing stop levels based on current momentum
Color-coded lines: Green for bullish momentum, Red for bearish momentum
These levels act as trigger points for potential trend changes
2. Entry Signal Markers:
Clear BUY (↑) and SELL (↓) arrows when momentum shifts are detected
Arrows positioned above/below candles for maximum visibility ,Signals only appear on confirmed trend changes
3. Momentum Score Display:
Shows statistical probability based on historical pattern analysis
Displays strength percentage of current momentum continuation
Helps traders assess confidence level of the current trend
4. Exit Zone Indicator:
Plots recommended exit levels for active positions
Dynamic color coding: Red for long exits, Green for short exits
Warning system (orange) when price breaches exit zones
5. Position Management Filter:
Optional risk filter to avoid trades with excessive distance from trigger level
Customizable position threshold percentage
Helps maintain consistent risk-reward ratios
6. Comprehensive Alert System:
Customizable alert messages for both long and short signals
Configurable alert frequency (once per bar or once per bar close)
Real-time notifications for all signal types
Customization Options-
Visual Settings:
Toggle visibility of current price level, momentum score, and exit zones
Customizable colors for all elements (bullish/bearish themes)
Adjustable line thickness for dynamic levels
Entry Markers:
Custom colors for long and short entry signals
Adjustable arrow distance from candles
Core Parameters:
Historical Depth: Amount of past data to analyze (default: 20,000 bars)
Sensitivity Level: Controls how strong a move must be to trigger signals (default: 4)
Higher values = fewer but stronger signals
Lower values = more signals with earlier entries
Position Management:
Enable/disable position filter
Set maximum acceptable risk threshold as percentage
How It Works:-
Momentum Detection Engine: The script continuously monitors price action, tracking each bullish and bearish leg. It maintains arrays of opens, closes, and counts to build a comprehensive picture of market structure.
Pattern Recognition: When price breaks key levels (minimum/maximum of recent candles based on sensitivity), the indicator recognizes a potential momentum shift.
Statistical Validation: The script compares the current pattern against its historical database to calculate the probability of momentum continuation.
Signal Generation: When a valid trend change is detected (and passes the position filter if enabled), entry signals are displayed with corresponding exit zones.
Best Use Cases:
Swing trading on any timeframe (works on 1m to 1D charts)
Trend reversal identification
Momentum trading strategies
Works on all markets: Forex, Stocks, Crypto, Indices, Commodities etc
Recommended Settings:
Scalping/Day Trading: Sensitivity 2-3, Historical Depth 10,000-20,000
Swing Trading: Sensitivity 3-4, Historical Depth 20,000-30,000
Position Trading: Sensitivity 4-5, Historical Depth 30,000+
Important Notes:
Signals appear only on confirmed bars (not on real-time candles unless confirmed)
The momentum score becomes more accurate as more historical data is processed
Position filter should be adjusted based on the volatility of the instrument being traded
Best used in conjunction with proper risk management and position sizing
What Makes This Indicator Unique:
Unlike indicators that simply apply mathematical formulas to price data, AMT learns from historical price behavior. It doesn't just tell you what happened—it tells you what's likely to happen next based on thousands of similar situations in the past. The statistical momentum score provides an edge that pure technical indicators cannot offer.
Disclaimer: This indicator is a tool for technical analysis and should not be used as the sole basis for trading decisions. Always use proper risk management and combine with your own analysis. Happy Trading !!
MACD Sticky Dots Bull & Bear
**Sticky Dots – Multi-Confirmation Momentum & Trend Indicator**
What is it?
Dots designed to show momentum of trend, weak or strong illustrated through size and color. Certain thresholds give GREEN DOTS OR RED DOTS, when strong the dots are LARGER. Colors of candles are plotted along with Buy and Sell signals and rare reversal signals (these are all plotted based on inputs in the indicator). Along with these Dots is a moving average derived from Bollinger Bands, this acts as both support and resistance to price. Also Pivot Highs and Pivot Lows get plotted based on all these inputs and price action combined.
BELOW IS MORE DETAILS
**Key Visual Elements & Color/Symbol Meaning**
**1. Candlestick Colors** (toggle: "Show Candle Colors")
- **Bright Green** (#00FF00 shades): Price closes ≥ upper dispersion band (close ≥ disp_up). Strong bullish momentum.
- **Bright Red** (#FF0000 shades): Price closes ≤ lower dispersion band (close ≤ disp_down). Strong bearish momentum.
- **Yellow** (#FFEA00): Price inside the dispersion bands (neutral zone). Trend is consolidating or weak.
**2. Basis Moving Average Line** (20-period EMA, toggle: "Show Price Basis MA")
The thick line on price follows the same coloring logic as candles derived from thresholds that deem them bullish(green), consolidating(yellow) or bearish(red):
- **Dark Green** (rgb(0,162,30)): Strong bullish
- **Lime Green** (rgb(153,253,2)): Moderate bullish
- **Yellow** (#FFEA00): Neutral or weak.
- **Red** (rgb(243,13,13)): Bearish
**3. MACD Dots/Circles** (below bars, toggle: "Show Dots")
Normalized & sigmoid-compressed MACD histogram plotted as sticky dots:
- **small Green Dots** MACD positive:
- Solid bright green (#00FF00): Increasing momentum.
- Slightly transparent green (#16FF0A): Decreasing but still bullish.
- **Large Circle** (instead of small dot): Stochastic Momentum is in strong bull zone→ overbought emphasis.
- **Red Dots/Circles** (condensed_histNorm < 50):
- Solid bright red (#FF0000): Decreasing momentum (stronger bearish).
- Slightly transparent red (#FF0707): Increasing but still bearish.
- **Large Circle**: Stochastic Momentum is in strong bear zone → oversold emphasis.
**4. Buy/Sell Signals**
- **"B"** (green, below bar): Buy signal – confluence of all inputs in indicator in bullish state prints B
- **"S"** (red, above bar): Sell signal – confluence of all inputs in indicator in bearish state prints S
- **"R"** (yellow, below bar): Reversal – appears only after a completed downswing when price closes back above basis with new green dots (signals potential bottom).
**5. Pivot High / Pivot Low Lines** (horizontal) DESIGNED TO FIND PIVOT TOPS/BOTTOMS
- **Red horizontal line** (from swing high): Marks confirmed Pivot High during an active long (buy) position. Triggered when red circles appear after a bright red condition.
- **Green horizontal line** (from swing low): Marks confirmed Pivot Low during an active short (sell) position. Triggered on fresh green circles.
**6. Optional Plots**
- **Outer Bollinger Bands**: Standard Bollinger bands by the Great John Bollinger.
- **Dispersion Bands** (white, with translucent fill matching Trend color)
**How to Read & Trade the Indicator**
1. **Overall Trend Direction**
- Look at the Basis MA color first:
- Green → Uptrend bias.
- Red → Downtrend bias.
- Yellow → Range/Consolidation.
2. **Momentum Strength**
- Green dots/circles (especially large ones) = bullish momentum building.
- Red dots/circles (especially large) = bearish momentum building.
- Brighter dots + price outside dispersion = stronger conviction.
3. **Candle Coloring for Quick Bias**
- Green candles = price in strong bullish zone.
- Red candles = strong bearish zone.
- Yellow = indecision/consolidation – wait for breakout.
4. **Entry Signals**
- Wait for a **"B"** in a green/yellow candle context with green dots appearing.
- Best entries when price is above basis and Green dots are Large
- **"R"** label =potential big Reversal
5. **Exit / Reversal Management**
- Active long → watch for red circles → confirmed PH line = potential exit zone.
- Active short → watch for green circles → confirmed PL line = potential cover zone.
- **"R"** label = early warning of possible reversal after a downswing.
2H ReversalsThis is a combination of many reversal strategies rolled into one including but not limited to MACD crossover, RSI, Stochastic Oscillator, EMA crossover, Parabolic SR.... This indicator is best on the 2hour timeframe. It only trades in the direction of the daily timeframe trend bias.
Master Chief V3 Protocol Omega - Institutional Order Flow SystemDescription:
"Stop analyzing. Start executing."
Master Chief V3 is not just an indicator; it is a complete Trading Operating System (TOS) designed for the serious day trader. It fuses Institutional Order Flow, Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD), and Multi-Timeframe Momentum into a single, heads-up "Command Center."
This system eliminates analysis paralysis by processing thousands of data points per second and simplifying them into two distinct battle protocols: Sniper (Reversals) and Tactician (Momentum).
🔥 KEY FEATURES
1. The Command Dashboard (HUD) The heart of the system. A real-time data matrix that monitors:
Dominance: Who owns the current session? (Buyers vs. Sellers).
Tape Speed (RVOL): Detects when institutional volume hits the tape.
CVD Flow: Tracks the 5m and Live Delta to spot absorption.
The Announcer: A dynamic text engine that tells you exactly what the market condition is (e.g., "Power Push," "Accumulation," "Scanning").
2. 🎯 Protocol: SNIPER (Reversal Engine)
Strategy: Counter-trend / Mean Reversion.
Logic: Hunts for exhaustion at the edges of the "Darwin Box."
Trigger: It waits for price to hit a statistical extreme, checks for Volume/Delta divergence, and locks onto a target.
Visuals: You will see a "TARGET LOCKED" tracker appear. Once the proprietary CVD threshold (default: 1500) is breached, it prints a massive "BUY NOW" or "SELL NOW" signal.
3. ⚔️ Protocol: TACTICIAN (Scalper Engine)
Strategy: Trend Continuation / Breakout.
Logic: Uses the "SwingArm" Trend Filter to identify the dominant direction.
Trigger: Fires instant scalp entries when momentum aligns with the trend and breaks key structure.
Visuals: Prints clear "SCALP" triangles with automatic Stop Loss and Take Profit lines drawn on your chart.
4. The Darwin Box (Structure) A dynamic price window (focusing on the 40th-50th minute liquidity cycle) that automatically draws Level 1-4 support and resistance zones. These zones act as the battlefield where the Sniper and Tactician engines look for entries.
🚀 HOW TO USE
Check the HUD: Is the "Mission" Green (Buy) or Red (Sell)?
Wait for a Protocol:
If you see "TARGET LOCKED", prepare for a Sniper Reversal. Wait for the "EXECUTE" signal.
If you see a Triangle, execute a Tactician Scalp in the direction of the trend.
Manage Risk: Use the automatic ATR lines provided by the Tactician engine to place your stops.
⚙️ SETTINGS & CUSTOMIZATION
Master Chief is fully customizable to fit your asset class (ES, NQ, Crypto, Forex):
Sniper Protocol: Adjust the CVD Threshold (1500 default) and Sensitivity.
Tactician: Adjust Risk/Reward ratios and ATR lengths.
Visuals: Toggle the dashboard size, position, and box visibility.
"The battlefield is chaotic. Your chart shouldn't be."

SDP Top & Bottom Reversal with VolumeSDP Top & Bottom Reversal with Volume in some important levels.
Ping-Pong Fade (BB + Absorption Proxy)Ping-Pong Fade is a mean-reversion fade indicator designed to capture short-term reversals at statistically extreme price levels only when real participation and absorption behavior are present.
This script intentionally mashes up Bollinger Bands, volume expansion, and candle structure to filter out weak band touches and isolate defended extremes.
Why This Mashup Exists
Bollinger Band fades fail most often when:
Price is expanding with conviction
Breakouts are supported by strong directional bodies
There is no opposing liquidity at the extremes
This indicator solves that by requiring three independent confirmations before signaling a fade:
Statistical Extremity (Bollinger Bands)
Participation (Volume Expansion)
Absorption / Rejection (Candle Structure)
Only when all three align does the script trigger a signal.
Component Breakdown & How They Work Together
1. Bollinger Bands – Where price should react
Uses a standard SMA + standard deviation envelope
Defines upper and lower statistical extremes
Provides the location for potential fades, not the signal by itself
Bands answer where, not whether.
2. Volume Spike Filter – Who is involved
Compares current volume to a moving average
Requires volume to exceed a configurable multiple
Ensures the interaction at the band is meaningful, not illiquid noise
No volume = no real defense = no trade.
3. Candle Body % (Absorption Proxy) – How price is behaving
Measures candle body relative to full range
Small bodies at the band imply:
Heavy two-sided trading
Aggression being absorbed
Failure to close through the extreme
This acts as a practical proxy for order-flow absorption without requiring Level II or footprint data.
Big range + small body + high volume = pressure met with resistance.
Signal Logic (The “Ping-Pong” Effect)
🔽 Short Fade
Triggered when:
Price probes above the upper Bollinger Band
Volume spikes above normal
Candle shows a small body and fails to close strong at highs
Interpretation:
Buyers pushed price to an extreme, but were absorbed. Expect rotation back toward the mean.
🔼 Long Fade
Triggered when:
Price probes below the lower Bollinger Band
Volume spikes above normal
Candle shows a small body and fails to close strong at lows
Interpretation:
Sellers forced price down, but were absorbed. Expect a bounce toward the mean.
What This Indicator Is Best Used For
Intraday mean-reversion setups
Range-bound or rotational markets
Scalping and short-term fades near extremes
Confirmation layer alongside VWAP, structure, or HTF bias
What It Is Not
A breakout tool
A trend-following indicator
A standalone system without context
Core Philosophy
Extreme + Volume + Failure = Opportunity
Ping-Pong Fade is designed to show you when price tries to escape its range — and fails — allowing you to fade the move with structure and intent.

Oscillator Suite [BackQuant]Oscillator Suite
Oscillator Suite is built for one job: turn live market noise into a readable sequence of conditions.
Not “one signal.” Not “one oscillator.” A coordinated set of modules that track momentum , money pressure , and agreement between them so you can see when moves have real backing, when they are fading, and when reversal conditions are worth treating as a serious event.
Why this suite feels different in live markets
This suite is designed to show the why behind the candle :
Is the move being driven or just drifting ?
Is participation accumulating or exiting ?
Are your components telling the same story , or is the market split?
When a reversal appears, is it a real shift in conditions or a random wiggle ?
The goal is simple: when components converge, you get higher clarity. When they diverge, you get a warning before price makes it obvious.
How to read the suite in order
If you want the indicator to feel “alive” instead of confusing, use this order of operations:
Money Flow for pressure and participation
Momentum Ribbon for direction and shift timing
Confluence to measure agreement and regime quality
Reversals to mark turning points inside those regimes
Divergences for early “engine weakness” warnings
Bar Coloring to project the whole read onto price
Money Flow (pressure, accumulation, and the “truth layer”)
The Money Flow wave is your context filter. It exists to separate:
A push that has real buy-side pressure behind it
A move that looks bullish but has weak participation
A selloff that is heavy distribution
A dip where selling is running out of fuel
This is where the suite becomes practical. You can watch money flow transition from heavy selling to stabilization and then to early accumulation. Those transitions are where many of the best trades are born because the crowd is still reacting to the last move while conditions are already shifting.
Money Flow showing strong accumulation behavior:
Momentum Ribbon (the timing engine)
Momentum Ribbon is designed to lead. It is your “timing layer” that reads the market’s directional energy and highlights meaningful shifts.
The ribbon changes character when momentum strength changes, not after the fact.
The signal line smoothing lets you choose how sharp or how filtered your momentum read should be.
Crossover/crossunder events are emphasized so you can spot momentum flips without hunting.
In live markets, this is what you watch when price is chopping. The ribbon will often show when momentum is actually resolving even if price looks messy for a few candles.
Momentum Ribbon with longer-term momentum alignment influence:
Confluence Zones (regimes, not random signals)
Confluence zones are the difference between “I saw a signal” and “I saw conditions.”
They highlight when Momentum and Money Flow are aligned and when they are fighting each other.
Bullish confluence means momentum is constructive and pressure supports it.
Bearish confluence means momentum is bearish and selling pressure supports it.
Mixed conditions mean you should expect chop, fakeouts, and low follow-through unless a transition is underway.
This is how you stop forcing trades. When confluence is strong, you can hold with more confidence. When confluence fades, you tighten expectations and demand better structure or confirmation.
Reversal Signals (turning points that matter when the environment agrees)
Reversal signals are not meant to be blind buy/sell commands. They are “pay attention” events designed to become high value when stacked with the suite’s context.
You will see two main behaviors:
“ℝ” labels marking stronger reversal events near the extreme bands
Cross markers that can appear more frequently to highlight earlier swing warnings
Here’s the live-market mindset:
A reversal print during heavy opposing pressure is often just a pause.
A reversal print when money flow pressure is weakening or shifting is a different animal.
A reversal print as confluence transitions is where dips and tops become actionable ideas rather than guesses.
Strong reversal examples:
Reversals used to catch dips and sell strong turns:
Divergences (selective, threshold-based, and meant to reduce noise)
Divergences in this suite are designed to appear when momentum is meaningfully extended, so you’re not flooded with low-quality divergence spam in the middle of ranges.
What divergence is used for here:
Spot “engine weakness” when price attempts to extend but momentum does not match.
Warn you early so you can manage risk before the obvious reversal candle shows up.
Help you identify when a trend is losing quality, especially when confluence begins fading.
This becomes especially powerful when you treat divergence as step one, then look for step two:
Momentum ribbon begins to shift
Money flow pressure eases or flips
Confluence transitions
A reversal marker appears at a meaningful location
Momentum Velocity (longer-term push vs pull insight)
Momentum Velocity adds a second momentum lens that is slower and more “structural.” It helps you see whether the broader momentum environment is supporting what the ribbon is doing.
How traders use this in practice:
As a “permission layer” to avoid fighting stronger background pressure.
To confirm when momentum shifts are likely to hold, not just flip for a bar.
To spot when short-term momentum is turning inside a larger supportive environment.
Momentum Ribbon leading with added longer-term momentum confluence:
Bar Coloring (put the suite onto price)
Bar coloring exists for one reason: speed. It projects the suite’s current read directly onto candles so you can process conditions without staring at the panel nonstop.
Modes include:
Momentum direction
Momentum above/below midline
MFI above/below midline
Confluence (Momentum + Money Flow)
Strong Confluence Only
Momentum Velocity
Strong confluence coloring can help you stop taking trades in mixed conditions and focus on the regimes that actually trend or mean-revert with quality.
Multiple bar coloring methods:
Practical playbooks
1) Trend participation without chasing
Start with confluence. Only get aggressive when the suite shows agreement.
Use the ribbon to time entries on momentum shifts instead of random candles.
Use money flow to confirm that the trend has real pressure behind it.
When confluence fades, manage tighter. That is where follow-through weakens.
2) Dip catching that is not blind
Let price pull back while you watch money flow pressure.
If selling pressure is still heavy, you are early. If it is easing, you are getting close.
When a reversal appears, check whether momentum is stabilizing or flipping.
Best dips often show up during a confluence transition, not when everything is still bearish.
3) Selling tops without guessing
Watch for momentum weakening while price tries to extend.
Divergence becomes your first warning when conditions are stretched.
If confluence fades and money flow begins shifting, reversal signals become high-interest events.
This sequence is how you catch “strong reversals,” not random pullbacks.
Settings that matter (what to tune and why)
Momentum Calculation Period
Lower: faster, more reactive, more signals
Higher: smoother, fewer signals, cleaner regimes
Signal Line Type + Smoothing
More smoothing: cleaner shifts, less noise
Less smoothing: earlier shifts, more activity
MFI Calculation + Smoothing
Lower: faster pressure read
Higher: clearer accumulation/distribution structure
Divergence Threshold
Lower: more divergence events (shorter-term)
Higher: fewer events (more selective, longer-term)
Reversal Factor
Lower: more reversal events
Higher: fewer, stronger events through heavier filtering
How to know you are reading it right
When you get comfortable, you will start noticing the suite produces “states,” not random prints:
State: strong bullish agreement -> momentum drives, pressure supports, candles align.
State: bullish but weakening -> momentum begins fading, pressure cools, divergence may warn.
State: mixed -> more fakeouts, fewer clean runs, demand stronger confirmation.
State: transition -> this is where the best reversals and dip catches often appear.
State: strong bearish agreement -> downside pressure is real, short-side regimes behave cleaner.
If you trade based on states instead of isolated signals, the suite stops being “an indicator” and becomes a live market interpreter.

AlphaStrike: Zen ModeDescription:
1. The Philosophy: Reducing Cognitive Load Modern charts are often cluttered with dozens of noisy lines (Bollinger Bands, Moving Averages, Oscillators) that lead to "Analysis Paralysis." This script is designed with a "Zen" philosophy: P rocess the complexity in the background, but display only the decision.
This is not a simple indicator overlay. It is a Risk-Based Trading Engine that runs multiple validation checks (Momentum, Volatility, and Price Action) simultaneously but hides the underlying calculations to keep the chart clean. It focuses the trader's attention on the two things that matter most: Trend Direction and Position Sizing.
2. The "Invisible" Technical Engine The script operates on a Dual-State Logic system that adapts to market conditions. It uses standard indicators as filters, not just visuals.
A. Trend State (The Backbone) The script calculates a volatility-adjusted Trend Baseline (SuperTrend).
Green State: The market is in a markup phase. The script looks for continuation.
Red State: The market is in a markdown phase. The script looks for defense.
B. The "Confluence" Reversal Logic Instead of cluttering the screen with Bollinger Bands and RSI windows, the script performs these checks internally:
Condition 1 (Volatility): Is price extending beyond the 2.0 Standard Deviation (Bollinger Lower/Upper)?
Condition 2 (Momentum): Is RSI overextended (<35 or >65)?
Condition 3 (Price Action): Is there a specific Pin Bar candle pattern (Long wick rejection)?
Result: Only when all three conditions align does the script print a "Reversal Circle." This filters out weak signals that usually occur in strong trends.
3. The Risk Management Calculator (Key Feature) Most traders fail not because of bad entries, but because of inconsistent sizing. This script features a built-in Dynamic Position Sizing Dashboard located in the bottom right.
Adaptive Stop Loss:
In a Trend: The Stop Loss is automatically set to the Trend Line (SuperTrend).
In a Reversal: The script internally scans for the nearest Swing Low/High (using hidden Pivot calculations) and sets the Stop Loss there.
Position Sizing Math: The dashboard reads your Account Size and Risk % inputs. It instantly calculates the "Max Size" (contract/share amount) allowed for the current trade.
Formula: Position Size = (Account Value * Risk %) / Distance to Stop.
Benefit: This ensures you risk the exact same dollar amount on every trade, whether the stop loss is 1% away or 10% away.
4. How to Read the Signals
Triangles (Breakouts): These represent a shift in the dominant trend direction.
Green Triangle: Bullish Trend Start.
Red Triangle: Bearish Trend Start.
Circles (Mean Reversion): These are high-probability counter-trend plays.
Blue Circle: Buy Reversal (Oversold + Pinbar + Bollinger Support).
Orange Circle: Sell Reversal (Overbought + Pinbar + Bollinger Resistance).
5. Settings
Trend Settings: Adjust the ATR Period and Factor to change the sensitivity of the trend line.
Reversal Settings: Tweak the RSI and Bollinger thresholds to filter out more/less signals.
Risk Management: Input your total Account Size and desired Risk Per Trade (e.g., 1%) to calibrate the Dashboard.
Disclaimer This tool provides algorithmic analysis and risk calculations. It does not guarantee profits or provide financial advice. Always verify position sizes before executing.
Pressure Reversal Engine - Scalp [BullByte]PRESSURE REVERSAL ENGINE - SCALP
OVERVIEW
Pressure Reversal Engine - Scalp is a professional reversal indicator built for scalping and active trading on any market including Forex, CFDs, crypto, and stocks. This multi-engine buy sell signal system works without volume data, making it ideal for instruments where volume is unavailable or unreliable.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
THE PROBLEM THIS INDICATOR SOLVES
Traditional reversal indicators and buy sell signal systems often struggle with:
- Dependence on volume data (unavailable for Forex pairs, CFD instruments, and many markets)
- Single-indicator approaches that generate excessive false signals and noise
- Static parameters that fail to adapt to changing volatility conditions
- Lack of confluence validation across multiple analytical dimensions
PRE Scalp addresses these limitations through a six-engine confluence architecture. Signals generate only when multiple independent analytical engines align, filtering noise while identifying potential reversal conditions across any timeframe.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
DEVELOPMENT APPROACH - MULTI-ENGINE ARCHITECTURE - NOT A MASHUP
The Pressure Reversal Engine was developed to address specific limitations observed in traditional reversal detection and scalping indicator methods:
Challenge 1: Volume Dependency
Most reversal indicators require volume data, which is unreliable or unavailable for Forex, CFDs, indices, and many international instruments. The SAI engine was specifically designed to derive activity measurements purely from price action and candle structure.
Challenge 2: Single-Dimension Analysis
Individual indicators measuring only one aspect of price action generate excessive false signals. The multi-engine confluence approach requires confirmation across six independent analytical dimensions before generating buy or sell signals.
Challenge 3: Static Parameters
Fixed lookback periods fail during changing volatility conditions. The AVR engine dynamically adapts all parameters based on current market state, improving signal quality across different market environments.
Challenge 4: Subjective Pattern Recognition
Visual pattern identification is subjective and inconsistent. The DNA engine provides objective mathematical pattern matching with quantifiable scores for reversal candle detection.
Each engine addresses a specific analytical dimension. The confluence requirement emerged from observation that aligned signals across multiple engines produced significantly higher quality reversal identification than any single method.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
THE SIX ANALYTICAL ENGINES EXPLAINED
Each engine provides a unique analytical perspective. Buy and sell signals generate only when multiple engines confirm confluence:
ENGINE 1: SYNTHETIC ACTIVITY INDEX (SAI) - Volumeless Activity Detection
Purpose: Derives market activity from price structure without requiring volume data. Essential for Forex trading, CFD analysis, and any instrument lacking reliable volume.
Calculation: Weighted composite of range expansion, body momentum, directional pressure, wick rejection, price acceleration, and volatility burst measurements.
Formula: SAI = (RangeExpansion x 0.25) + (BodyMomentum x 0.20) + (DirectionalPressure x 0.15) + (WickRejection x 0.15) + (PriceAcceleration x 0.15) + (VolatilityBurst x 0.10)
Signal Contribution: Validates that meaningful market activity is occurring at the potential reversal point. Without activity confirmation, apparent reversals may lack follow-through.
ENGINE 2: PRESSURE WAVE OSCILLATOR (PWO) - Exhaustion Detection
Purpose: Measures the balance between buying pressure and selling pressure through price geometry analysis.
Calculation: Net pressure (buying minus selling) weighted by activity level, normalized by standard deviation over extended period.
Formula: PWO = SMA(NetPressure x SAI, length) / StdDev(cumulative, length x 2)
Signal Contribution: Identifies pressure exhaustion conditions using percentile ranking to detect when buyers or sellers are running out of momentum. Exhaustion often precedes trend reversal.
ENGINE 3: FRACTAL CONFLUENCE MATRIX (FCM) - Multi-Timeframe Structure Analysis
Purpose: Analyzes price position across multiple structural timeframes simultaneously for multi-timeframe confluence.
Calculation: Evaluates price position within range at five Fibonacci-based periods (5, 8, 13, 21, 34 bars). These periods capture nested market structures from micro to macro.
Formula: FractalPosition = (Close - LowestLow) / (HighestHigh - LowestLow) at each period
Signal Contribution: Confirms that multiple structural levels align at extremes, indicating potential reversal zones where larger and smaller timeframes agree on price position.
ENGINE 4: ENTROPIC EXHAUSTION DETECTOR (EED) - Information Theory Analysis
Purpose: Applies Shannon entropy from information theory to measure market disorder and directional exhaustion.
Calculation: Shannon entropy of bullish/bearish bar distribution over the lookback period.
Formula: H = -Sum(p(x) x log2(p(x))) where p(x) is probability of bullish or bearish bars
Range: 0 (complete order, all bars same direction) to 1 (maximum disorder, 50/50 distribution)
Signal Contribution: High entropy combined with a directional streak breaking suggests the market has reached maximum uncertainty and may resolve in a new direction.
ENGINE 5: CANDLE DNA FINGERPRINTING - Pattern Recognition System
Purpose: Mathematical pattern recognition comparing current candle structure against ideal reversal patterns including hammer, shooting star, and engulfing formations.
Calculation: Weighted similarity scoring across body ratio, upper wick ratio, lower wick ratio, close position, and range versus ATR.
Formula: Score = Sum((1 - |actual - ideal|) x weight) for each metric
Signal Contribution: Identifies candles with reversal characteristics through objective mathematical measurement rather than subjective visual pattern recognition.
ENGINE 6: ADAPTIVE VOLATILITY REGIME (AVR) - Dynamic Parameter Adjustment
Purpose: Dynamically adjusts all lookback parameters based on current volatility conditions for adaptive indicator behavior.
Calculation: Ratio of fast ATR to slow ATR determines volatility regime classification.
Formula: VolatilityRatio = ATR(fast period) / ATR(slow period)
States: High volatility (ratio > 1.3) uses shorter lookbacks for faster adaptation. Low volatility (ratio < 0.7) uses longer lookbacks for noise reduction. Normal volatility maintains base parameters.
Signal Contribution: Ensures the entire system adapts appropriately to current market conditions rather than using static parameters that may fail in different environments.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
WHY ENGINE SYNERGY MATTERS FOR SIGNAL QUALITY
The effectiveness of PRE comes from requiring multiple engines to align before generating buy or sell signals:
- SAI confirms activity is present (something meaningful is happening in price action)
- PWO confirms pressure exhaustion (the current move is running out of steam)
- FCM confirms structural alignment (multiple timeframes agree on position)
- EED confirms disorder state (market uncertainty is elevated near potential turning point)
- DNA confirms candle structure (the bar exhibits reversal pattern characteristics)
- AVR ensures parameters are appropriate (system is calibrated to current volatility)
A single indicator measuring one dimension generates many false signals. By requiring confluence across six independent analytical dimensions, this reversal indicator filters noise while identifying potential trading opportunities.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SIGNAL GENERATION PROCESS FOR BUY AND SELL SIGNALS
Step 1: ANCHOR DETECTION
The system identifies potential reversal anchors when price breaks beyond recent structure using a mean-reversion approach. A bullish anchor forms when price breaks below prior lows, suggesting potential oversold conditions. A bearish anchor forms when price breaks above prior highs, suggesting potential overbought conditions.
Step 2: ENGINE SCORING
Each enabled engine contributes to a cumulative quality score. The anchor must achieve minimum scoring thresholds to activate a setup.
Step 3: CONFIRMATION TRIGGER
Price must confirm the setup by crossing back through the anchor zone within the confirmation window. This crossover or crossunder is validated at bar close to prevent repainting.
Step 4: SIGNAL QUALITY SCORE
The final buy or sell signal displays a quality score representing the total engine confluence. Higher scores indicate stronger alignment across more analytical engines.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
READING THE BUY SELL SIGNAL LABELS
BUY Signal Label:
- Displays "BUY" with quality score in brackets
- Shows engine contribution breakdown when enabled in settings
- indicates engine contributed to signal
- indicates engine did not contribute
- Higher total scores suggest stronger multi-engine confluence
SELL Signal Label:
- Displays "SELL" with quality score in brackets
- Same engine breakdown format as BUY signals
- Identical scoring interpretation
Score Interpretation Guide:
- Score 3-4: Minimum threshold met, basic confluence achieved
- Score 5-6: Good confluence across multiple engines
- S core 7-8: Strong confluence with most engines aligned
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
ENGINE STATUS DASHBOARD - REAL-TIME ANALYSIS DISPLAY
The Engine Status Panel displays real-time readings from all six analytical engines:
Synthetic Activity Row:
- HIGH ACTIVITY: SAI above threshold, significant price action detected (value shown)
- ACTIVE: SAI above confirmation level, moderate activity present
- LOW: SAI below activity thresholds, quiet market conditions
- DISABLED: Engine turned off in settings
Pressure Wave Row:
- BULL EXHAUSTION: PWO in lower percentile tail and reversing upward, potential bottom
- BEAR EXHAUSTION: PWO in upper percentile tail and reversing downward, potential top
- NEUTRAL: PWO in normal range, no exhaustion detected
Fractal Matrix Row:
- BULL CONFLUENCE: Multiple fractal levels show price near structural lows (score shown)
- BEAR CONFLUENCE: Multiple fractal levels show price near structural highs
- NO CONFLUENCE: Insufficient alignment across fractal timeframe levels
Entropic Exhaustion Row:
- HIGH ENTROPY: Shannon entropy above threshold, maximum market disorder detected
- ORDERED: Entropy below threshold, clear directional consistency present
Candle DNA Row:
- BULL PATTERN: Current candle matches bullish reversal profile (hammer-like structure)
- BEAR PATTERN: Current candle matches bearish reversal profile (shooting star-like)
- NO MATCH: Current candle does not match reversal pattern characteristics
Market Regime Row:
Shows DETECTED market conditions based on price action analysis:
- FRESH MOVE: New directional move beginning, momentum increasing
- NORMAL: Standard market conditions, no extreme factors detected
- SCALP CONDITIONS: Extended move or decreasing momentum detected
- CAUTION ZONE: Multiple warning factors present requiring conservative approach
Note : This displays what market conditions look like, not necessarily what targets will be applied.
Applied Style Row:
Shows what target style is ACTUALLY being applied to trades and why:
When Trade Style Setting = Auto:
- RUNNER (Auto): System detected FRESH conditions, applying wide targets (0.8R, 1.8R, 3.0R)
- EXTENDED (Auto): System detected NORMAL conditions, applying balanced targets (0.6R, 1.2R, 2.0R)
- SCALP (Auto): System detected SCALP conditions, applying tight targets (0.4R, 0.8R, 1.2R)
- CAUTION (Auto): System detected CAUTION conditions, applying very tight targets (0.3R, 0.5R, 0.8R)
When Trade Style Setting = User Override:
- SCALP (User): You selected Scalp style manually
- EXTENDED (User): You selected Extended style manually
- RUNNER (User): You selected Runner style manually
This dual-row display ensures complete transparency. You always see both what market conditions exist AND what targets you are receiving.
Volatility State Row:
- HIGH VOLATILITY: Fast ATR significantly exceeds slow ATR, adaptive parameters shortened
- NORMAL: Volatility ratio within standard range
- LOW VOLATILITY: Fast ATR significantly below slow ATR, adaptive parameters extended
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
REGIME VS APPLIED STYLE - COMPLETE TRANSPARENCY
The Engine Status Panel displays TWO separate rows for complete trading transparency:
1. Market Regime: What current market conditions look like based on analysis
2. Applied Style: What target calculations are actually being used for trades
Why Two Separate Rows?
When Trade Style is set to "Auto", the Applied Style will match the detected Regime automatically. For example:
- Regime: FRESH MOVE leads to Applied Style: RUNNER (Auto)
- Regime : NORMAL leads to Applied Style: EXTENDED (Auto)
When you manually select a Trade Style (Scalp, Extended, or Runner), the Applied Style will show your selection regardless of the detected Regime:
- Regime: FRESH MOVE but Applied Style: SCALP (User)
(Market conditions look fresh, but you chose tight targets)
This transparency ensures you always know:
- What conditions is the market is currently showing
- What targets you will you actually receive on signals
- Whether the system chose automatically or you overrode the selection
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
TRADE PANEL - POSITION MANAGEMENT DISPLAY
During Active Trade:
- Position type (LONG/SHORT) with entry price level
- Running P&L displayed in points (current price versus entry)

Chart 1: Dashboard and Engine Status Overview
This chart demonstrates the PRE indicator in scanning mode, showing the comprehensive Engine Status Panel (top right) and Trade Panel (bottom right). The dashboard provides real-time visibility into all six analytical engines and current market conditions.
Key Features Shown:
- Synthetic Activity Index (SAI): Currently showing HIGH ACTIVITY (50.6) detecting significant price action
- Pressure Wave Oscillator (PWO): NEUTRAL (2.99) with no exhaustion detected yet
- F ractal Confluence Matrix (FCM): BEAR CONFLUENCE (5) showing price at multi-timeframe highs
- Entropic Exhaustion Detector (EED): HIGH ENTROPY (0.99) indicating maximum market uncertainty
- Candle DNA Fingerprinting: BULL PATTERN (0.74) with reversal pattern detected
- Market Regime: SCALP CONDITIONS suggesting tighter targets appropriate
- Applied Style: SCALP (Auto) with system automatically selecting scalp mode based on regime
- Volatility State: NORMAL (0.76)
- Trade Panel: Shows SCANNING FOR SIGNALS with a BEARISH setup active (3 bars remaining)
What This Demonstrates:
The dashboard provides complete transparency into the indicator decision-making process. You can see exactly which engines are active, their current readings, and what trade style will be applied to the next signal. The Applied Style row shows both the detected regime AND the style that will be used.
Chart 2: Trade Style Comparison - Extended vs Runner
This split-screen comparison shows the SAME SELL signal and trade with two different trade style settings applied. The left panel uses EXTENDED (User) style while the right panel uses RUNNER (User) style. This demonstrates how manually selecting different trade styles affects take profit targets and position booking strategy for identical market conditions.
Key Features Shown:
LEFT PANEL - EXTENDED (User) Style:
- Engine Status: Market Regime shows FRESH MOVE but Applied Style shows EXTENDED (User)
- Entry: 4492.5
- TP1: 4487.75 at 4.6 pts away
- TP2: 4483.01 at 9.4 pts away
- Stop Loss: 4500.4 (8 pts)
- Risk to Reward: 1:0.6
- Running P&L: -0.13 points
- Position Booking: Balanced 50/50 split
RIGHT PANEL - RUNNER (User) Style:
- Engine Status: Same FRESH MOVE regime but Applied Style shows RUNNER (User)
- Entry: 4492.5 (same entry)
- TP1: 4486.17 at 6.2 pts away (WIDER target)
- TP2: 4478.26 at 14.1 pts away (MUCH WIDER target)
- Stop Loss: 4500.4 (8 pts - same stop)
- Risk to Reward: 1:0.8 (better ratio)
- Running P&L: -0.13 points (same moment)
- Position Booking: Aggressive 35/65 split keeping more for runner
What This Demonstrates:
Both panels show the exact same trade at the same moment with same P&L, entry, and stop. The ONLY difference is the trade style setting. EXTENDED uses balanced approach with 50/50 booking at closer targets. RUNNER uses wider targets with 35/65 booking to let winners run further.
Chart 3: Auto Mode vs Manual Override Comparison
This split-screen comparison shows the SAME SELL signal with two different style control modes. The left panel uses RUNNER (Auto) where the system automatically selected Runner style based on detecting FRESH MOVE conditions. The right panel uses SCALP (User) where the trader manually forced Scalp style, overriding the system recommendation.
Key Features Shown:
LEFT PANEL - RUNNER (Auto) Style:
- Engine Status: Market Regime shows FRESH MOVE and Applied Style shows RUNNER (Auto)
- Entry: 4492.5
- TP1: 4489.33 at 3 pts away
- TP2: 4487.17 at 6.2 pts away
- Stop Loss : 4500.4 (8 pts)
- Control Mode: System automatically selected this style
RIGHT PANEL - SCALP (User) Style:
- Engine Status: Same FRESH MOVE regime but Applied Style shows SCALP (User)
- Entry: 4492.5 (same)
- TP1: 4489.33 at 3 pts away (TIGHTER booking percentage)
- TP2: 4487.17 at 6.2 pts away (SMALLER remainder)
- Risk to Reward: 1:0.4 (more conservative)
- Control Mode: User manually forced this style overriding system
What This Demonstrates:
The Applied Style row shows WHO is in control. (Auto) means system decides based on regime. (User) means you override. This complete transparency shows when you are trading WITH or AGAINST the system analysis.
Chart 4: Trade Management and Protection System
This split-screen comparison shows the SAME SHORT trade at DIFFERENT stages of execution. The left panel shows the trade at entry and setup phase while the right panel shows the trade after TP1 has been hit with protection activated.
Key Features Shown:
LEFT PANEL - Trade Setup and Initial Entry:
- Engine Status: Market Regime shows FRESH MOVE and Applied Style shows RUNNER (Auto)
- Trade Panel: Shows SCANNING FOR SIGNALS with BULLISH setup active (3 bars remaining)
- TP Mode: Auto with Next Signal TP showing 0.8R / 1.8R (Runner style targets)
- Exit Marker: Shows Exit @ +50% label indicating completed previous trade
- Setup Phase: System ready for next signal with runner-focused targets pre-calculated

Orion (Market Structure & Confluence Framework)Orion (Market Structure & Confluence Framework • Premium • Closed)
Orion is a professional-grade market structure and execution framework designed for serious intraday traders who want clarity, precision, and discipline — not signal spam.
This indicator was developed and refined through extensive live trading and backtesting in Natural Gas, one of the most volatile and difficult markets to master. While NG was the primary proving ground, Orion is market-agnostic and works across commodities, stocks, indices, forex, and crypto.
What Orion Does
Orion continuously evaluates higher-timeframe structure and lower-timeframe execution conditions, then only presents trade opportunities when conditions are clean, aligned, and favorable.
It helps traders:
Capture large directional moves
Participate in confirmed reversals
Stand down during choppy or mean-reversion days
Avoid overtrading and noise
Trade signals are intentionally selective. When signals are mixed, Orion does nothing — by design.
Core Concepts (High Level)
Market Structure Context
Determines whether the market environment is bullish, bearish, or mixed.
Key Levels & Structural Zones
User-defined levels are evaluated based on how price last interacted with them to determine bias and probable targets.
Trendlines (Manual, Human-Defined)
Orion interprets price interaction with trader-drawn trendlines, preserving human discretion and avoiding unreliable auto-drawn logic.
Confluence Logic
Signals only appear when multiple independent factors agree. No alignment = no trade.
Trade Signals (When Appropriate)
Based on extensive testing, signal days have historically been profitable roughly 80% of the time (about 4 out of 5 days), with an emphasis on capturing meaningful market moves, not scalping.
Ease of Use
Simple initial setup (define key levels, draw trendlines)
Minimal upkeep (occasional adjustments as structure evolves)
Once set, Orion handles the heavy lifting
This is not a fully automated system. It is a decision-support tool that rewards discipline, patience, and proper risk management.
Transparency & Risk
No guarantees are made
Losses are part of trading
Stop losses and position sizing are essential
Results depend on trader discipline and execution
Educational resources on trendlines and support/resistance (e.g., creators like Tori Trades or WyseTrade) can be helpful for newer users.
Support & Mentorship
24/7 support included for all users
A limited number of users, upon request, may receive direct mentorship from the creator
The creator combined personal trading experience, discretionary strategy design, and AI-assisted development to build Orion, and trades Natural Gas profitably using this framework.
Pricing
NORMALLY $129.99 per month / $999.99 per year
(One solid trading day can easily justify the cost)
HOWEVER it is currently provided for free (for limited time only).
Who Orion Is For
✅ Serious intraday traders
✅ Structure-focused traders
✅ Traders who value quality over quantity
❌ Beginners seeking guaranteed signals
❌ Fully automated trading seekers
