Inside Candle DivergenceStudy Material: Inside Candle Divergence Indicator (aiTrendview)
1. Introduction
The Inside Candle Divergence Indicator is a custom tool built on TradingView using Pine Script. It is designed to help traders identify potential reversal points or trend continuations using a mix of candlestick analysis, RSI (Relative Strength Index), VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price), Pivot Points, and Volume analytics. The tool also provides a dashboard table on the chart, summarizing all key values in a single glance for traders and analysts.
This indicator is not just a signal generator but also an educational framework—explaining how different concepts in technical analysis combine to build a systematic approach for market entries and exits.

2. Core Concepts Behind the Tool
A. Inside Candle Pattern
An Inside Candle forms when the current candle’s high is lower than or equal to the previous candle’s high, and the low is higher than or equal to the previous candle’s low.
• This means the entire price action of the current candle is "inside" the range of the previous candle.
• A bullish inside candle occurs when the close is higher than the open.
• A bearish inside candle occurs when the close is lower than the open.
This pattern shows market indecision but also sets up potential breakouts or trend reversals.
________________________________________
B. RSI (Relative Strength Index)
The indicator calculates RSI using the formula from the ta.rsi() function in TradingView. RSI helps measure momentum in the market.
• A low RSI (below 25) signals an oversold zone → possible buy.
• A high RSI (above 75) signals an overbought zone → possible sell.
By combining RSI with the Inside Candle, the indicator ensures that signals are triggered only when momentum and price patterns confirm each other.
________________________________________
C. Buy & Sell Signals
• Buy Signal: Triggered when RSI < Buy Level (default 25) and a bullish inside candle forms.
• Sell Signal: Triggered when RSI > Sell Level (default 75) and a bearish inside candle forms.
When triggered, the chart displays a BUY (green label below candle) or SELL (red label above candle) marker. The indicator also saves the entry price and signal bar for future reference inside the dashboard.
________________________________________
D. VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price)
VWAP is calculated using the typical price (H+L+C)/3 and weighting it by volume.
• VWAP shows the average trading price weighted by volume, widely used by institutions.
• The tool calculates the distance of price from VWAP in % terms.
• If price is far above VWAP, the market may be overheated (overbought). If far below, it may be undervalued (oversold).
________________________________________
E. Volume Analysis
The tool splits volume into Buy Volume and Sell Volume:
• Buy Volume: If close > open.
• Sell Volume: If close ≤ open.
• Cumulative totals are maintained, and percentages are calculated to show what proportion of total market volume is bullish vs bearish.
• A progress bar style visual (using blocks █) shows the dominance of buyers or sellers.
This allows traders to quickly measure whether buyers or sellers are controlling the market trend.
________________________________________
F. Daily Pivot Points
Pivot Points are calculated using the previous day’s high, low, and close:
• Pivot = (High + Low + Close) / 3
• R1, S1, R2, S2, R3, S3 levels are derived from this pivot.
• These levels act as support and resistance zones.
The script plots Pivot, R1, and S1 lines on the chart for easy reference.
________________________________________
G. Trend Direction
The indicator checks where the price is compared to R1 and S1:
• If price > R1 → Bullish Trend
• If price < S1 → Bearish Trend
• Otherwise → Neutral Trend
The trend direction is displayed in the dashboard with arrows (↑, ↓, →).
________________________________________
H. Price Change Calculation
The tool calculates:
• Price Change = Current Close – Previous Close
• Percentage Change = (Change / Previous Close) × 100
• Displays ▲ (green upward) or ▼ (red downward) with the exact percentage.
This gives traders a quick snapshot of intraday price movement.
________________________________________
I. Dashboard Table
One of the most powerful features is the real-time dashboard table shown on the chart. It contains:
1. Symbol & Price Info (Current ticker, price, change %)
2. RSI Reading (with color coding: green for oversold, red for overbought)
3. VWAP and Distance from VWAP
4. Volume Analysis with Progress Bar (Buy vs Sell %)
5. Pivot Levels (Pivot, R1, S1)
6. Trend Direction (Bullish, Bearish, Neutral)
7. Signal Status (Last Buy/Sell signal with entry price)
This reduces the need for multiple indicators and gives traders a command-center view directly on the chart.
________________________________________
J. Alerts
The tool generates alerts whenever a Buy or Sell condition is met. Traders can set up TradingView alerts to be notified instantly when:
• Buy Signal Alert → RSI oversold + Bullish inside candle
• Sell Signal Alert → RSI overbought + Bearish inside candle
This ensures no opportunity is missed even if you’re not actively monitoring the chart.
________________________________________
K. Background Highlights
The chart background also changes faintly (light green or light red) when a Buy or Sell condition is triggered. This gives traders visual confirmation along with signals and alerts.
________________________________________
3. Practical Use of This Tool
• Scalpers & Intraday Traders can use it for quick momentum-based entries.
• Swing Traders can use the RSI + Inside Candle + Pivot Points to find medium-term reversals.
• Analysts can use the dashboard for real-time summaries in reports.
• Volume Analysis helps understand institutional activity.
Remember: This is not a standalone holy grail. It must be used with proper risk management and confirmation from higher timeframes.

Intraday Volume Pulse GSK-VIZAG-AP-INDIAIntraday Volume Pulse Indicator
Overview
This indicator is designed to track and visualize intraday volume dynamics during a user-defined trading session. It calculates and displays key volume metrics such as buy volume, sell volume, cumulative delta (difference between buy and sell volumes), and total volume. The data is presented in a customizable table overlay on the chart, making it easy to monitor volume pulses throughout the session. This can help traders identify buying or selling pressure in real-time, particularly useful for intraday strategies.
The indicator resets its calculations at the start of each new day and only accumulates volume data from the specified session start time onward. It uses simple logic to classify volume as buy or sell based on candle direction:
Buy Volume: Assigned to green (up) candles or half of neutral (doji) candles.
Sell Volume: Assigned to red (down) candles or half of neutral (doji) candles.
All calculations are approximate and based on available volume data from the chart. This script does not incorporate external data sources, order flow, or tick-level information—it's purely derived from standard OHLCV (Open, High, Low, Close, Volume) bars.
Key Features
Session Customization: Define the start time of your trading session (e.g., market open) and select from common timezones like Asia/Kolkata, America/New_York, etc.
Volume Metrics:
Buy Volume: Total volume attributed to bullish activity.
Sell Volume: Total volume attributed to bearish activity.
Cumulative Delta: Net difference (Buy - Sell), highlighting overall market bias.
Total Volume: Sum of all volume during the session.
Formatted Display: Volumes are formatted for readability (e.g., in thousands "K", lakhs "L", or crores "Cr" for large numbers).
Color-Coded Table: Uses a patriotic color scheme inspired by general themes (Saffron, White, Green) with dynamic backgrounds based on positive/negative values for quick visual interpretation.
Table Options: Toggle visibility and position (top-right, top-left, etc.) for a clean chart layout.
How to Use
Add to Chart: Apply this indicator to any symbol's chart (works best on intraday timeframes like 1-min, 5-min, or 15-min).
Configure Inputs:
Session Start Hour/Minute: Set to your market's open time (default: 9:15 for Indian markets).
Timezone: Choose the appropriate timezone to align with your trading hours.
Show Table: Enable/disable the metrics table.
Table Position: Place the table where it doesn't obstruct your view.
Interpret the Table:
Monitor for spikes in buy/sell volume or shifts in cumulative delta.
Positive delta (green) suggests buying pressure; negative (red) suggests selling.
Use alongside price action or other indicators for confirmation—e.g., high total volume with positive delta could indicate bullish momentum.
Limitations:
Volume classification is heuristic and not based on actual order flow (e.g., it splits doji volume evenly).
Data accumulation starts from the session time and resets daily; historical backtesting may be limited by the max_bars_back=500 setting.
This is for educational and visualization purposes only—do not use as sole basis for trading decisions.
Calculation Details
Session Filter: Uses timestamp() to define the session start and filters bars with time >= sessionStart.
New Day Detection: Resets volumes on daily changes via ta.change(time("D")).
Volume Assignment:
Buy: Full volume if close > open; half if close == open.
Sell: Full volume if close < open; half if close == open.
Cumulative Metrics: Accumulated only during the session.
Formatting: Custom function f_format() scales large numbers for brevity.
Disclaimer
This script is for educational and informational purposes only. It does not provide financial advice or signals to buy/sell any security. Always perform your own analysis and consult a qualified financial professional before making trading decisions.

Polarity-VoVix Fusion Index (PVFI) Polarity-VoVix Fusion Index (PVFI) - Order Flow and Volatility Regime Detector
The PVFI is a next-generation indicator that fuses the Order Flow Polarity Index (OFPI) with a proprietary VoVix Volume Delta (VVD) engine. This tool is designed for traders who want to see not just how much volume is trading, but who is in control and how volatility is shifting beneath the surface.
What Makes PVFI Standout from the rest?
- Dual Engine: PVFI combines two advanced signals:
* OFPI: Measures real-time buy/sell pressure using candle body position and volume, then smooths it with a T3 moving average for clarity and responsiveness.
* VVD: Captures the "volatility of volume delta" - a normalized, memory-boosted measure of aggressive buying/selling, with a custom non-linear clamp for organic, non-pegged signals.
- Visual Clarity: Neon-glow OFPI line and shadowed, color-gradient VVD area make regime shifts and momentum instantly visible.
- Adaptive Dashboard: Toggle between a full-featured dashboard (desktop) and a compact info line (mobile) for seamless use on any device.
- Universal: Works on any asset - crypto, stocks, futures, forex - and any timeframe.
- No Chart Clutter: Clean, modern visuals and toggles for a pro look.
Inputs:
OFPI Lookback Length (ofpi_len): Sets the window for order flow pressure calculation. Shorter = more sensitive, longer = smoother. For scalping, try 5-10. For swing trading, 15-30. Crypto often benefits from shorter windows due to volatility.
OFPI T3 Smoothing Length (t3_len): Controls the smoothness of the OFPI line. Lower = more responsive, higher = smoother. Use 3-7 for fast markets, 8-15 for slow or higher timeframes.
OFPI T3 Volume Factor (t3_vf): Adjusts the T3’s sensitivity. Higher = more responsive, lower = more stable. 0.6-0.8 is typical. Raise for more “snappy” signals, lower for less noise.
VVD Delta Lookback (delta_len): Sets the window for VVD’s volume delta calculation. 10-20 for most assets. Shorter for high-volatility, longer for slow markets.
VVD Volatility Normalization Length (vol_norm_len): Normalizes VVD by recent volume. 15-30 is typical. Use higher for assets with wild volume swings.
VVD Momentum Memory (momentum_mem): Adds a “memory” boost to VVD, amplifying persistent buying/selling. 2-5 is common. Lower for choppy markets, higher for trending.
Show Dashboard (showDash): Toggles the full dashboard table (best for desktop). Turn off for a minimalist or mobile setup.
Show Compact Info Line (showInfoLabel): Toggles a single-line info label (best for mobile). Turn on for mobile or minimalist setups.
How PVFI Works:
- OFPI Calculation: Splits each candle’s volume into buy/sell pressure based on where the close is within the range. Aggregates over your chosen lookback, then smooths with a T3 moving average for a neon, lag-minimized signal.
- VVD Calculation: Measures the “aggression” of volume (body-weighted), normalizes by recent volume, and applies a memory boost for persistent trends. Uses a custom tanh clamp for a natural, non-pegged range.
- Visuals: OFPI is plotted as a neon line (with glow). VVD is a color-gradient area with a soft shadow, instantly showing regime shifts.
- Dashboard/Info Line: Desktop: Full dashboard with all key stats, color-coded and branded. Mobile: Compact info line with arrows for quick reads.
How you'll use PVFI:
- Bullish OFPI (Teal Neon, Up Arrow): Buyers are dominating. Look for breakouts, trend continuations, or confirmation with your own system.
- Bearish OFPI (Green Neon, Down Arrow): Sellers are in control. Watch for breakdowns or short setups.
- VVD Positive (Teal Area): Aggressive buying is increasing. Confirm with price action.
- VVD Negative (Purple Area): Aggressive selling is increasing. Use for risk management or short bias.
- Neutral/Flat: Market is balanced or indecisive. Consider waiting for a clear regime shift.
- Dashboard/Info Line: Use the dashboard for full context, or the info line for a quick glance on mobile.
Tips:
- For scalping, use lower lookbacks and smoothing.
- For swing trading, increase lookbacks and smoothing for stability.
- Works on all assets and timeframes - tune to your style.
Why PVFI is Unique:
- Fusion of Order Flow and Volatility: No other indicator combines body-based order flow with a volatility-of-volume delta, both visualized with modern, pro-grade graphics.
- Adaptive, Not Static: PVFI adapts to market regime, not just price movement.
- Mobile-Ready: Dashboard and info line toggles for any device.
- No Chart Clutter: Clean, color-coded, and easy to read.
For Educational Use Only
PVFI is a research and educational tool, not financial advice. Always use proper risk management and combine with your own strategy.
Trade with clarity. Trade with edge.

CoffeeShopCrypto Supply Demand PPO AdvancedCoffeeShopCrypto PPO Advanced is a structure-aware momentum oscillator and price-trend overlay designed to help traders interpret momentum strength, exhaustion, and continuation across evolving market conditions. It’s not a “buy/sell” signal tool — it's a momentum context tool that helps confirm trend intent.
Original Code derived from the Price Oscillator Indicators (PPO) found in the TradingView Technical Indicators categories. You can view the info and calculation for the original PPO here
www.tradingview.com
Much like the MACD, the PPO uses a couple lagging indicators to present Momentum as a percentage. But it lacks context to market structure.
What It’s Based On
This tool is based on a dual-moving-average PPO oscillator structure (Percentage Price Oscillator) enhanced by:
Oscillator pivot structure: detection of Lower Highs (LH) and Higher Lows (HL) inside the oscillator.
Detection of Supply and Demand Trends via Market Absorption
Ability to transfer its average plots to price action
Detection of Trend Exhaustion
Real-time price-based exhaustion levels: projecting potential future supply and demand using trendlines from weakening momentum.
Integrated fast and slow Moving Averages on price using the same inputs as the oscillator, to visualize alignment between short- and long-term trends.
These elements combine momentum context with price action in a visual, intuitive system.
How It Works
1. Oscillator Structure
LHs (above zero): momentum weakening in uptrends.
HLs (below zero): momentum strengthening in downtrends.
Only valid pivots are shown (e.g., an LH must be preceded by a valid LL).
2. Exhaustion Levels
Green demand lines: price is making new lows, but oscillator prints HL → potential exhaustion.
Red supply lines: price is making new highs, but oscillator prints LH → potential exhaustion.
These lines are future-facing, projecting likely reaction zones based on momentum weakening.
3. Moving Averages on Price
Two MAs are drawn on the price chart:
Fast MA (same length as PPO short input)
Slow MA (same length as PPO long input)
These are not signal lines — they're visual guides for trend alignment.
MA crossover = PO crosses zero. This indicates short- and long-term momentum are syncing — a powerful signal of trend conviction.
When price is above both MAs, and the PO is rising above zero, bullish momentum is dominant.
When price is below both MAs, and the PO is falling below zero, bearish momentum dominates.
How Traders Can Use It
✅ Spot Trend Initiation
Wait for clear trend confirmation in price.
Use PPO Momentum+ to confirm momentum structure is aligned (e.g., HH/HL in oscillator + price above both MAs).
🔁 Track Continuations
In uptrends, look for oscillator HH and HL sequences with price holding above both MAs.
In downtrends, seek LL and LH sequences with price below both MAs.
⚠️ Watch for Exhaustion
Price breaking below red (supply) lines after oscillator LH = bearish exhaustion signal.
Price breaking above green (demand) lines after oscillator HL = bullish exhaustion signal.
These levels act like pre-mapped S/R zones, showing where momentum previously failed and price may react.
Why This Is Different
Momentum tools often lag or mislead when used blindly. This tool visualizes structural failure in momentum and maps potential outcomes. The integration of oscillator and price-based tools ensures traders are always reading context, not just raw signals.
Demand Trendlines
Demand trendlines show us Wykoff's law of "Absorbed Supply Reversal" In real time.
When aggressive selling pressure is persistently absorbed by passive buying interest without significant downward price continuation, and supply becomes exhausted, the market structure shifts as demand regains control—resulting in a directional reversal to the upside.
This commonly happens in a 3 phase interaction of price.
1. Selling pressure is absorbed quickly by buyers.
This PPO tool will calculate the trend of this absorption process
2. After there is a notable Bearish Exhaustion of price action, the PPO tool will draw a trendline of this absorption showing us the potential future prices where aggressive buyers will want to step in at lower prices.
3. After higher lows are defined in the oscillator, you'll see prices react in a strong bullish pattern at this trendline where aggressive buyers stepped in to reverse price action to the upside.
Supply Trendlines
Supply trendlines show us Wykoff's law of "Absorbed Demand Reversal" In real time.
When aggressive buying pressure is persistently absorbed by passive selling interest without significant downward price continuation, and demand becomes exhausted, the market structure shifts as supply regains control—resulting in a directional reversal to the downside.
This commonly happens in a 3 phase interaction of price.
1. Buying pressure is absorbed quickly by sellers.
This PPO tool will calculate the trend of this absorption process.
2. After there is a notable Bullish Exhaustion of price action, the PPO tool will draw a trendline of this absorption showing us the potential future prices where aggressive sellers will want to step in at higher prices.
3. After lower highs are defined in the oscillator, you'll see prices react in a strong bearish pattern at this trendline where aggressive sellers stepped in to reverse price action to the downside.
Lower High and Higher Low Signals
When the oscillator signals Lower Highs or High Lows its only noting that momentum in that trend direction is slowing. THis indicates a coming pause in the market and the proceeding longs of an uptrend or shorts of a downtrend should be taken with caution.
**These LH and HL markers are not reading as divergences in price vs momentum.**
They are simply registering against the highs and lows of itself..
Moving Averages on Price Action
The Oscillator will cross over its ZERO level the same time your Short and Long MAs cross each other. This will indicate that the short term average trend is moving ahead of the long term.
Crossovers are not an entry signal. It's a method in determining you current timeframe trend strength. Always observe price action as it passes through each of your moving averages and compare it to the positioning and direction of the oscillator.
If price dips in between the moving averages while the oscillator still shows a strong trend strength, you can wait for price to move ahead of your fast moving average.
Bar Colors and Signal Line for Trend Strength
Good Bullish Trend = Oscillator above zero + Signal rising below Oscillator
Weak Bullish Trend = Oscillator above zero + Signal above Oscillator
Good Bearish Trend = Oscillator below zero + Signal falling above Oscillator
Weak Bearish Trend = Oscillator below zero + Signal below Oscillator
Bar Colors
Bars are colored to match Oscillator Momentum Strength. Colors are set by user.
Why alter the known PPO (Percentage Price Oscillator) in this manner?
The PPO tool is great for measuring the strength as percentage of price action over and average amount of candles however, with these changes,
you know have the ability to correlate:
Wycoff theory of supply and demand,
Measure the depth of reversals and pullback by price positioning against moving averages,
Project potential reversal and exhaustion pricing,
Visibly note the structure of momentum much like you would note market structure,
Its not enough to know there is momentum. Its better to know
A) Is it enough
B) Is there something in the way which will cause price to push back
C) Does this momentum correlate to the prevailing trend
Volume Aggression Monitor📌 Volume Aggression Monitor — Overview
This indicator helps identify buying and selling pressure (aggression) in real-time by analyzing how market participants are executing trades. It is composed of three main components:
🔍 What Does It Show?
🧭 1. The Thermometer (Above Candles)
🟢 Green Arrow (▲) → Buy Aggression: Buyers are lifting the ask.
🔴 Red Arrow (▼) → Sell Aggression: Sellers are hitting the bid.
⚪ Gray Square (■) → Neutral: No significant price movement or aggression.
💡 Neutral in this context means:
The price barely moved during the candle (open-close % change < direction_threshold, default 0.05%).
No clear buyer or seller dominance. It often appears during low volatility, equilibrium, or market indecision periods. This prevents noise and false directional readings due to random micro-movements.
📊 2. Percentage Panel
A table displaying recent trades or candle data (from a lower timeframe). Colored arrows indicate the direction of aggression (buy/sell). Shows volume, delta, and aggression %.
✅ Use it to:
Track clusters of buy/sell aggression. Spot momentum builds.
⏱️ 3. Cumulative Times & Sales Bar
A horizontal progress bar representing cumulative aggression.
Positive = Buy Aggression dominates.
Negative = Sell Aggression dominates.
📉 Even in sideways price movement, this bar shows who is winning the fight under the surface.
---
🧠 How to Use It:
🔹 Confirm Trades
Use the thermometer and aggression signals to confirm your strategy entries (e.g., breakouts, pullbacks, support/resistance).
🔹 Detect Dominance
Observe who is in control: buyers or sellers? Are they pressing or hesitating?
🔹 Filter Market Noise
The neutral state avoids misinterpreting small, meaningless movements as strong signals.

Component | Meaning
🌡️ Thermometer (▲ ▼ ■) | Who’s in control in each candle
📊 Percentage Panel | Trade details: direction, delta, aggression
📈 Cumulative T&S Bar | Overall aggression bias over time

- Strong selling phase: negative columns breaking below marker line
- Columns approaching zero: potential pressure shift
- Columns beyond overbought/oversold: extreme conditions, potential reversal
4. Combining with Other Indicators
- Use with trend indicators for confirmation
- Pair with price action oscillators for divergence detection
- Combine with traditional volume indicators for validation
- Consider support/resistance levels with boundary lines
Advanced Trading Strategies
1. Boundary Break Strategy
- Enter long when volume pressure breaks above previous high marker line
- Enter short when volume pressure breaks below previous low marker line
- Use zero-line as initial stop-loss reference
- Take profits at formation of opposing peaks
2. Peak Trading Strategy
- Identify significant peaks with triangular markers
- Look for consecutive lower peaks in buying phases for shorting opportunities
- Look for consecutive higher troughs in selling phases for buying opportunities
- Use zero-line crosses as confirmation
3. Extreme Reading Strategy
- Look for volume pressure beyond overbought/oversold levels
- Watch for color changes and peak formations
- Enter counter-trend positions after confirmed peaks
- Use tight stops due to extreme market conditions
4. Volume Color Strategy
- Enter long when columns turn bright green (increasing buying pressure)
- Enter short when columns turn bright red (increasing selling pressure)
- Exit when color intensity fades (decreasing pressure)
- Use marker lines as dynamic support/resistance
Practical Analysis Examples
Bullish Market Scenario
- Volume pressure crosses above zero line
- Green columns grow in height and intensity
- High marker line forms steps upward
- Peak triangles appear at local maxima
- Background highlights appear at significant buying pressure peaks
Bearish Market Scenario
- Volume pressure crosses below zero line
- Red columns grow in depth and intensity
- Low marker line forms steps downward
- Peak triangles appear at local minima
- Background highlights appear at significant selling pressure troughs
Consolidation Scenario
- Volume pressure oscillates around zero line
- Column colors alternate frequently
- Marker lines remain relatively flat
- Few or no new peak highlights appear
- Pressure values remain small
Understanding Market Dynamics Through Market Push Meter
At its core, this indicator provides a unique lens to visualize market pressure through volume analysis:
1. Volume Imbalance: By separating and comparing buying volume (up candles) from selling volume (down candles), the indicator provides insights into which side is exerting more pressure in the market.
2. Normalized Pressure: The indicator normalizes volume pressure as a percentage of total volume, making it more comparable across different market conditions and instruments.
3. Dynamic Boundaries: The marker lines create a visual representation of the "high water marks" of pressure in both directions, helping to identify when markets are making new pressure extremes.
4. Exhaustion Signals: The peak detection system highlights moments where pressure has reached a local maximum or minimum, often precursors to reversals or consolidations.
Remember:
- Combine signals from volume pressure, marker lines, and peak formations
- Use appropriate timeframe settings for your trading style
- Customize the indicator to match your visual preferences and market
- Consider overall market conditions and correlate with price action
This indicator works best when:
- Used as part of a comprehensive trading system
- Combined with proper risk management
- Applied with an understanding of current market conditions

ICT Judas Swing | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing our new ICT Judas Swing Indicator! This indicator is built around the ICT's "Judas Swing" strategy. The strategy looks for a liquidity grab around NY 9:30 session and a Fair Value Gap for entry confirmation. For more information about the process, check the "HOW DOES IT WORK" section.
Features of the new ICT Judas Swing :
Implementation of ICT's Judas Swing Strategy
2 Different TP / SL Methods
Customizable Execution Settings
Customizable Backtesting Dashboard
Alerts for Buy, Sell, TP & SL Signals
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
The strategy begins by identifying the New York session from 9:30 to 9:45 and marking recent liquidity zones. These liquidity zones are determined by locating high and low pivot points: buyside liquidity zones are identified using high pivots that haven't been invalidated, while sellside liquidity zones are found using low pivots. A break of either buyside or sellside liquidity must occur during the 9:30-9:45 session, which is interpreted as a liquidity grab by smart money. The strategy assumes that after this liquidity grab, the price will reverse and move in the opposite direction. For entry confirmation, a fair value gap (FVG) in the opposite direction of the liquidity grab is required. A buyside liquidity grab calls for a bearish FVG, while a sellside grab requires a bullish FVG. Based on the type of FVG—bullish for buys and bearish for sells—the indicator will then generate a Buy or Sell signal.
After the Buy or Sell signal, the indicator immediately draws the take-profit (TP) and stop-loss (SL) targets. The indicator has three different TP & SL modes, explained in the "Settings" section of this write-up.
You can set up alerts for entry and TP & SL signals, and also check the current performance of the indicator and adjust the settings accordingly to the current ticker using the backtesting dashboard.
🚩 UNIQUENESS
This indicator is an all-in-one suit for the ICT's Judas Swing concept. It's capable of plotting the strategy, giving signals, a backtesting dashboard and alerts feature. Different and customizable algorithm modes will help the trader fine-tune the indicator for the asset they are currently trading. Three different TP / SL modes are available to suit your needs. The backtesting dashboard allows you to see how your settings perform in the current ticker. You can also set up alerts to get informed when the strategy is executable for different tickers.
⚙️ SETTINGS
1. General Configuration
Swing Length -> The swing length for pivot detection. Higher settings will result in
FVG Detection Sensitivity -> You may select between Low, Normal, High or Extreme FVG detection sensitivity. This will essentially determine the size of the spotted FVGs, with lower sensitivies resulting in spotting bigger FVGs, and higher sensitivies resulting in spotting all sizes of FVGs.
2. TP / SL
TP / SL Method ->
a) Dynamic: The TP / SL zones will be auto-determined by the algorithm based on the Average True Range (ATR) of the current ticker.
b) Fixed : You can adjust the exact TP / SL ratios from the settings below.
Dynamic Risk -> The risk you're willing to take if "Dynamic" TP / SL Method is selected. Higher risk usually means a better winrate at the cost of losing more if the strategy fails. This setting is has a crucial effect on the performance of the indicator, as different tickers may have different volatility so the indicator may have increased performance when this setting is correctly adjusted.
Whale Trading SystemThis script is an advanced version of the distributional blocks script.
In distributional buys and sells:
I used a high - low cloud filter, which makes it more prudent to sell the next sell higher for sells and to buy the next purchase lower for buys.
I also used the Stochastic Money Flow Index function because it also uses volume to separate regions.
The long period is 52 weeks, which is equal to one year,
The short period is one-fourth of its value, which is equal to a financial quarter.
Then the values calculated with these periods are calculated by stochastic - rsi logic within the function, giving us two averages and separating the regions according to crossovers and crossunders .
In buys and sales, the higher your next distributional position size makes your profit more .
In the old system, there was a confusion as it was not divided into zones.
Because we divide into zones here, zone changes are the last stop to free up existing positions, and you must reopen each time you change zones.
And I changed standard distribution days, depending on the price change and the histogram, as StochMFI also took into account the volume.
In this way, there is sustainability.
I am also sharing my educational idea that explains the logic of this system in more detail :
Now that we have been divided into regions, a maximum of 10 pieces will suffice us.
And the regional shifts will allow us to sell and buy all of our position size, and now we will feel much more comfortable.
The most timeframe I find most accurate are the weekly bars.
Even in the example, we see how we have benefited from the sharp drop in bitcoin, while the price is falling, and we have lowered the average with higher-weight purchases than the previous one.
In both buys and sales here, both the histogram intensities and the average of the purchases you have reduced with the transactions, or the earnings you have increased with the sales, guide you.
In areas with high volatility ,if we adjust our positions properly, even if we follow the changes in the region, we will get rid of those situations with few wounds and we will surely catch the trend!
NOTE : Crossover/crossunder and distributional buy/sell alerts added.
Best regards , Noldo.
Adaptive MVRV & RSI Strategy V6 (Dynamic Thresholds)Strategy Explanation
This is an advanced Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) strategy for Bitcoin that aims to adapt to long-term market cycles and changing volatility. Instead of relying on fixed buy/sell signals, it uses a dynamic, weighted approach based on a combination of on-chain data and classic momentum.
Core Components:
Dual-Indicator Signal: The strategy combines two powerful indicators for a more robust signal:
MVRV Ratio: An on-chain metric to identify when Bitcoin is fundamentally over or undervalued relative to its historical cost basis.
Weekly RSI: A classic momentum indicator to gauge long-term market strength and identify overbought/oversold conditions.
Dynamic, Self-Adjusting Thresholds: The core innovation of this strategy is that it avoids fixed thresholds (e.g., "sell when RSI is 70"). Instead, the buy and sell zones are dynamically calculated based on a long-term (2-year) moving average and standard deviation of each indicator. This allows the strategy to automatically adapt to Bitcoin's decreasing volatility and changing market structure over time.
Weighted DCA (Scaling In & Out): The strategy doesn't just buy or sell a fixed amount. The size of its trades is scaled based on conviction:
Buying: As the MVRV and RSI fall deeper into their "undervalued" zones, the percentage of available cash used for each purchase increases.
Selling: As the indicators rise further into "overvalued" territory, the percentage of the current position sold also increases.
This creates an adaptive system that systematically accumulates during periods of fear and distributes during periods of euphoria, with the intensity of its actions directly tied to the extremity of market conditions.
Volume Footprint Anomaly Scanner [PhenLabs]📊 PhenLabs - Volume Footprint Anomaly Scanner (VFAS)
Version: PineScript™ v6
📌 Description
The PhenLabs Volume Footprint Anomaly Scanner (VFAS) is an advanced Pine Script indicator designed to detect and highlight significant imbalances in buying and selling pressure within individual price bars. By analyzing a calculated "Delta" – the net difference between estimated buy and sell volume – and employing statistical Z-score analysis, VFAS pinpoints moments when buying or selling activity becomes unusually dominant. This script was created not in hopes of creating a "Buy and Sell" indicator but rather providing the user with a more in-depth insight into the intrabar volume delta and how it can fluctuate in unusual ways, leading to anomalies that can be capitalized on.
This indicator helps traders identify high-conviction points where strong market participants are active, signaling potential shifts in momentum or continuation of a trend. It aims to provide a clearer understanding of underlying market dynamics, allowing for more informed decision-making in various trading strategies, from identifying entry points to confirming trend strength.
🚀 Points of Innovation
● Z-Score for Delta Analysis : Utilizes statistical Z-scores to objectively identify statistically significant anomalies in buying/selling pressure, moving beyond simple, arbitrary thresholds.
● Dynamic Confidence Scoring : Assigns a multi-star confidence rating (1-4 stars) to each signal, factoring in high volume, trend alignment, and specific confirmation criteria, providing a nuanced view of signal strength.
● Integrated Trend Filtering : Offers an optional Exponential Moving Average (EMA)-based trend filter to ensure signals align with the broader market direction, reducing false positives in ranging markets.

📖 Usage Guidelines
Setting Categories
⚙️ Core Delta & Volume Engine
● Minimum Volume Lookback (Bars)
○ Default: 9
○ Range: Integer (e.g., 5-50)
○ Description: Defines the number of preceding bars used to calculate the average volume and delta. Bars with volume below this average won't be considered for high-volume signals. A shorter lookback is more reactive to recent changes, while a longer one provides a smoother average.
📈 Anomaly Detection Settings
Delta Z-Score Anomaly Threshold
○ Default: 2.5
○ Range: Float (e.g., 1.0-5.0+)
○ Description: The number of standard deviations from the mean that a bar's delta must exceed to be considered a significant anomaly. A higher threshold means fewer, but potentially stronger, signals. A lower threshold will generate more signals, which might include less significant events. Experiment to find the optimal balance for your trading style.
🔬 Context Filters
Enable Trend Filter
○ Default: False
○ Range: Boolean (True/False)
○ Description: When enabled, signals will only be generated if they align with the current market trend as determined by the EMAs (e.g., only bullish signals in an uptrend, bearish in a downtrend). This helps to filter out counter-trend noise.
● Trend EMA Fast
○ Default: 50
○ Range: Integer (e.g., 10-100)
○ Description: The period for the faster Exponential Moving Average used in the trend filter. In combination with the slow EMA, it defines the trend direction.
● Trend EMA Slow
○ Default: 200
○ Range: Integer (e.g., 100-400)
○ Description: The period for the slower Exponential Moving Average used in the trend filter. The relationship between the fast and slow EMA determines if the market is in an uptrend (fast > slow) or downtrend (fast < slow).
🎨 Visual & UI Settings
● Show Info Dashboard
○ Default: True
○ Range: Boolean (True/False)
○ Description: Toggles the visibility of the dashboard on the chart, which provides a summary of market trend and the last detected signal.
● Show Dashboard Tooltip
○ Default: True
○ Range: Boolean (True/False)
○ Description: Toggles a reminder message in the dashboard to hover over signal labels for more detailed information.
● Show Delta Anomaly Bar Colors
○ Default: True
○ Range: Boolean (True/False)
○ Description: Enables or disables the coloring of bars based on their delta direction and whether they represent a significant anomaly.
● Show Signal Labels
○ Default: True
○ Range: Boolean (True/False)
○ Description: Controls the visibility of the “📈” or “📉” labels that appear on the chart when a delta anomaly signal is generated.
🔔 Alert Settings
Alert on Delta Anomaly
○ Default: True
○ Range: Boolean (True/False)
○ Description: When enabled, this setting allows you to set up alerts in TradingView that will trigger whenever a new bullish or bearish delta anomaly is detected.
✅ Best Use Cases
Early Trend Reversal / Continuation Detection: Identify strong surges of buying/selling pressure at key support/resistance levels that could indicate a reversal or the continuation of a strong move.
● Confirmation of Breakouts: Use high-confidence delta anomalies to confirm the validity of price breakouts, indicating strong conviction behind the move.
● Entry and Exit Points: Pinpoint precise entry opportunities when anomalies align with your trading strategy, or identify potential exhaustion signals for exiting trades.
● Scalping and Day Trading: The indicator’s sensitivity to intraday buying/selling imbalances makes it highly effective for short-term trading strategies.
● Market Sentiment Analysis: Gain a real-time understanding of underlying market sentiment by observing the prevalence and strength of bullish vs. bearish anomalies.
⚠️ Limitations
Estimated Delta: The script uses a simplified method to estimate delta based on bar close relative to its range, not actual order book or footprint data. While effective, it’s an approximation.
● Sensitivity to Z-Score Threshold: The effectiveness heavily relies on the `Delta Z-Score Anomaly Threshold`. Too low, and you’ll get many false positives; too high, and you might miss valid signals.
● Confirmation Criteria: The 4-star confidence level’s “confirmation” relies on specific subsequent bar conditions and previous confirmed signals, which might be too strict or specific for all contexts.
● Requires Context: While powerful, VFAS is best used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and price action to form a comprehensive trading strategy. It is not a standalone “buy/sell” signal.
💡 What Makes This Unique
Statistical Rigor: The application of Z-score analysis to bar delta provides an objective, statistically-driven way to identify true anomalies, moving beyond arbitrary thresholds.
● Multi-Factor Confidence Scoring: The unique 1-4 star confidence system integrates multiple market dynamics (volume, trend alignment, specific follow-through) into a single, easy-to-interpret rating.
● User-Friendly Design: From the intuitive dashboard to the detailed signal tooltips, the indicator prioritizes clear and accessible information for traders of all experience levels.
🔬 How It Works
1. Bar Delta Calculation:
● The script first estimates the “buy volume” and “sell volume” for each bar. This is done by assuming that volume proportional to the distance from the low to the close represents buying, and volume proportional to the distance from the high to the close represents selling.
● How this contributes: This provides a proxy for the net buying or selling pressure (delta) within that specific price bar, even without access to actual footprint data.
2. Volume & Delta Z-Score Analysis:
● The average volume over a user-defined lookback period is calculated. Bars with volume less than twice this average are generally considered of lower interest.
● The Z-score for the calculated bar delta is computed. The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the current bar’s delta is from its average delta over the `Minimum Volume Lookback` period.
● How this contributes: A high positive Z-score indicates a bullish delta anomaly (significantly more buying than usual), while a high negative Z-score indicates a bearish delta anomaly (significantly more selling than usual). This identifies statistically unusual levels of pressure.
3. Trend Filtering (Optional):
● Two Exponential Moving Averages (Fast and Slow EMA) are used to determine the prevailing market trend. An uptrend is identified when the Fast EMA is above the Slow EMA, and a downtrend when the Fast EMA is below the Slow EMA.
● How this contributes: If enabled, the indicator will only display bullish delta anomalies during an uptrend and bearish delta anomalies during a downtrend, helping to confirm signals within the broader market context and avoid counter-trend signals.
4. Signal Generation & Confidence Scoring:
● When a delta Z-score exceeds the user-defined anomaly threshold, a signal is generated.
● This signal is then passed through a multi-factor confidence algorithm (`f_calculateConfidence`). It awards stars based on: high volume presence, alignment with the overall trend (if enabled), and a fourth star for very strong Z-scores (above 3.0) combined with specific follow-through candle patterns after a cooling-off period from a previous confirmed signal.
● How this contributes: Provides a qualitative rating (1-4 stars) for each anomaly, allowing traders to quickly assess the potential significance and reliability of the signal.
💡 Note:
The PhenLabs Volume Footprint Anomaly Scanner is a powerful analytical tool, but it’s crucial to understand that no indicator guarantees profit. Always backtest and forward-test the indicator settings on your chosen assets and timeframes. Consider integrating VFAS with your existing trading strategy, using its signals as confirmation for entries, exits, or trend bias. The Z-score threshold is highly customizable; lower values will yield more signals (including potential noise), while higher values will provide fewer but potentially higher-conviction signals. Adjust this parameter based on market volatility and your risk tolerance. Remember to combine statistical insights from VFAS with price action, support/resistance levels, and your overall market outlook for optimal results.
Volume Buy/Sell SplitVisually decompose each bar’s total volume into estimated “buy” and “sell” components, so you can instantly see which side—buyers or sellers—dominated on each candle.
Key Features
Total Volume Base
A solid grey histogram shows the absolute volume on every bar.
Buy vs. Sell Split
Buying Volume is calculated as
```volume × (close – low) / (high – low)```
Selling Volume is calculated as
```volume × (high – close) / (high – low)```
These estimates assume that when price closes near the high, more of that bar’s volume was “aggressive buying,” and vice versa.
Dynamic Stacking
The larger of the two components (buying vs. selling) is plotted directly on top of the grey base, in blue (if buying dominates) or yellow (if selling dominates).
The smaller component is plotted above that, in the complementary color, so the full column still represents total volume.
30‑Bar Average Marker
A thin purple line appears at the 30‑bar simple moving average of volume—but only on bars where volume exceeds that average—helping you spot volume spikes at a glance.
How to Interpret
Tall grey columns = high total volume bars.
Blue‑tinted sections = buying pressure; yellow‑tinted sections = selling pressure.
When the blue (buy) portion is larger, buyers had the upper hand; a larger yellow portion indicates sellers dominated.
Purple markers highlight bars where volume is above its 30‑period average, drawing your eye to unusually active sessions.
Usage Notes
Overlay: false (panel below price)
No external inputs to adjust—plug and play.
Ideal for spotting divergences between price and volume aggression, confirming breakouts, or identifying potential exhaustion moves when one side’s volume spikes.
Add this script to your charts to gain clear, color‑coded insights into buying vs. selling activity on every candle.

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

Puts vs Longs vs Price Oscillator SwiftEdgeWhat is this Indicator?
The "Low-Latency Puts vs Longs vs Price Oscillator" is a custom technical indicator built for TradingView to help traders visualize buying and selling activity in a market without access to order book data. It displays three lines in an oscillator below the price chart:
Green Line (Longs): Represents the strength of buying activity (bullish pressure).
Red Line (Puts): Represents the strength of selling activity (bearish pressure).
Yellow Line (Price): Shows the asset’s price in a scaled format for direct comparison.
The indicator uses price movements, volume, and momentum to estimate when buyers or sellers are active, providing a quick snapshot of market dynamics. It’s optimized for fast response to price changes (low latency), making it useful for both short-term and longer-term trading strategies.
How Does it Work?
Since TradingView doesn’t provide direct access to order book data (which shows real-time buy and sell orders), this indicator approximates buying and selling pressure using commonly available data: price, volume, and a momentum measure called Rate of Change (ROC). Here’s how it combines these elements:
Price Movement: The indicator checks if the price is rising or falling compared to the previous candlestick. A rising price suggests buying (longs), while a falling price suggests selling (puts).
Volume: Volume acts as a "weight" to measure the strength of these price moves. Higher volume during a price increase boosts the green line, while higher volume during a price decrease boosts the red line. This mimics how large orders in an order book would influence the market.
Rate of Change (ROC): ROC measures how fast the price is changing over a set period (e.g., 5 candlesticks). It adds a momentum filter—strong upward momentum reinforces buying signals, while strong downward momentum reinforces selling signals.
These components are calculated for each candlestick and summed over a short lookback period (e.g., 5 candlesticks) to create the green and red lines. The yellow line is simply the asset’s closing price scaled down to fit the oscillator’s range, allowing you to compare buying/selling strength directly with price action.
Why Combine These Elements?
The combination of price, volume, and ROC is intentional and synergistic:
Price alone isn’t enough—it tells you what happened but not how strong the move was.
Volume adds context by showing the intensity behind price changes, much like how order book volume indicates real buying or selling interest.
ROC ensures the indicator captures momentum, filtering out weak or random price moves and focusing on significant trends, similar to how aggressive order execution might appear in an order book.
Together, they create a balanced picture of market activity that’s more reliable than any single factor alone. The goal is to simulate the insights you’d get from an order book—where you’d see buy/sell imbalances—using data available in TradingView.
How to Use It
Setup:
Add the indicator to your chart via TradingView’s Pine Editor by copying and pasting the script.
Adjust the inputs to suit your trading style:
Lookback Period: Number of candlesticks (default 5) to sum buying/selling activity. Shorter = more responsive; longer = smoother.
Price Scale Factor: Scales the yellow price line (default 0.001). Increase for high-priced assets (e.g., 0.01 for indices like DAX) or decrease for low-priced ones (e.g., 0.0001 for crypto).
ROC Period: Candlesticks for momentum calculation (default 5). Shorter = faster response.
ROC Weight: How much momentum affects the signal (default 0.5). Higher = stronger momentum influence.
Volume Threshold: Minimum volume multiplier (default 1.5) to boost signals during high activity.
Reading the Oscillator:
Green Line Above Yellow: Strong buying pressure—price is rising with volume and momentum support. Consider this a bullish signal.
Red Line Above Yellow: Strong selling pressure—price is falling with volume and momentum support. Consider this a bearish signal.
Green/Red Crossovers: When the green line crosses above the red, it suggests buyers are taking control. When the red crosses above the green, sellers may be dominating.
Yellow Line Context: Compare green/red lines to the yellow price line to see if buying/selling strength aligns with price trends.
Trading Examples:
Bullish Setup: Green line spikes above yellow after a price breakout with high volume (e.g., DAX opening jump). Enter a long position if confirmed by other indicators.
Bearish Setup: Red line rises above yellow during a price drop with increasing volume. Look for a short opportunity.
Reversal Warning: If the green line stays high while price (yellow) flattens or drops, it could signal overbought conditions—be cautious.
What Makes It Unique?
Unlike traditional oscillators like RSI or MACD, which focus solely on price momentum or trends, this indicator blends price, volume, and momentum into a three-line system that mimics order book dynamics. Its low-latency design (short lookback and no heavy smoothing) makes it react quickly to market shifts, ideal for volatile markets like DAX or forex. The visual separation of buying (green) and selling (red) against price (yellow) offers a clear, intuitive way to spot imbalances without needing complex data.
Tips and Customization
Volatile Markets: Use a shorter lookback (e.g., 3) and ROC period (e.g., 3) for faster signals.
Stable Markets: Increase lookback (e.g., 10) for smoother, less noisy lines.
Scaling: If the green/red lines dwarf the yellow, adjust Price Scale Factor up (e.g., 0.01) to balance them.
Experiment: Test on your asset (stocks, crypto, indices) and tweak inputs to match its behavior.
Twiggs Money FlowTwiggs Money Flow (TMF)
This indicator is an implementation of the Twiggs Money Flow (TMF), a volume-based tool designed to measure buying and selling pressure over a specified period. TMF is an enhancement of Chaikin Money Flow (CMF), utilizing more sophisticated smoothing techniques for improved accuracy and reduced noise. This version is highly customizable and includes advanced features for both new and experienced traders.
What is Twiggs Money Flow?
Twiggs Money Flow was developed by Colin Twiggs to provide a clearer picture of market momentum and the balance between buyers and sellers. It uses a combination of price action, trading volume, and range calculations to assess whether a market is under buying or selling pressure.
Unlike traditional volume indicators, TMF incorporates Weighted Moving Averages (WMA) by default but allows for other moving average types (SMA, EMA, VWMA) for added flexibility. This makes it adaptable to various trading styles and market conditions.
Features of This Script:
Customizable Moving Average Types:
Select from SMA , EMA , WMA , or VWMA to smooth volume and price-based calculations.
Tailor the indicator to align with your trading strategy or the asset's behavior.
Optional HMA Smoothing:
Apply Hull Moving Average (HMA) smoothing for a cleaner, faster-reacting TMF line.
Perfect for traders who want to reduce lag and capture trends earlier.
Dynamic Thresholds for Signal Filtering:
Set user-defined thresholds for Long (LT) and Short (ST) signals to highlight significant momentum.
Focus on actionable trends by ignoring noise around neutral levels.
Bar Coloring for Visual Clarity:
Automatically colors your chart bars based on TMF values:
Aqua for strong bullish signals (above the long threshold).
Fuchsia for strong bearish signals (below the short threshold).
Gray for neutral or undecided market conditions.
Ensures that trend direction and strength are visually intuitive.
Configurable Lookback Period:
Adjust the sensitivity of TMF by customizing the length of the lookback period to suit different timeframes and market conditions.
How It Works:
True Range Calculation: The script determines the high, low, and close range to calculate buying and selling pressure.
Adjusted Volume: Incorporates the relationship between price and volume to gauge whether trading activity is favoring buyers or sellers.
Weighted Moving Averages (WMAs): Smooths both volume and adjusted volume values to eliminate erratic fluctuations.
TMF Line: Computes the ratio of adjusted volume to total volume, representing the net buying/selling pressure as a percentage.
HMA Option (if enabled): Smooths the TMF line further to reduce lag and enhance trend identification.
Bar Coloring Logic:
Bars are colored dynamically based on TMF values, thresholds, and smoothing preferences.
Provides an at-a-glance understanding of market conditions.
Input Parameters:
Lookback Period: Defines the number of bars used to calculate TMF (default: 21).
Use HMA Smoothing: Toggle Hull Moving Average smoothing (default: true).
HMA Smoothing Length: Length of the HMA smoothing period (default: 14).
Moving Average Type: Select SMA, EMA, WMA, or VWMA (default: WMA).
Long Threshold (LT): Threshold value above which a long signal is considered (default: 0).
Short Threshold (ST): Threshold value below which a short signal is considered (default: 0).
How to Use It:
Confirm Trends: TMF can validate trends by identifying periods of sustained buying or selling pressure.
Divergence Signals: Watch for divergences between price and TMF to anticipate potential reversals.
Filter Trades: Use the thresholds to ignore weak signals and focus on strong trends.
Combine with Other Indicators: Pair TMF with trend-following or momentum indicators (e.g., RSI, Bollinger Bands) for a comprehensive trading strategy.
Example Use Cases:
Spotting breakouts when TMF crosses above the long threshold.
Identifying sell-offs when TMF dips below the short threshold.
Avoiding sideways markets by ignoring neutral (gray) bars.
Notes:
This indicator is highly customizable, making it versatile across different assets (e.g., stocks, crypto, forex).
While the default settings are robust, tweaking the lookback period, moving average type, and thresholds is recommended for different trading instruments or strategies.
Always backtest thoroughly before applying the indicator to live trading.
This version of Twiggs Money Flow goes beyond standard implementations by offering advanced smoothing, custom thresholds, and enhanced visual feedback to give traders a competitive edge.
Add it to your charts and experience the power of volume-driven analysis!

MTFHTS with Moving Average Ribbon and Buy/Sell Signals 3.2Multi-Timeframe Moving Average Strategy with Buy and Sell Signals
Purpose
This strategy is designed to provide clear, data-driven buy and sell signals based on moving average crossovers across multiple timeframes. It aims to help traders identify potential trend reversals and entry/exit points using a systematic approach.
How it Works
Moving Averages Across Multiple Timeframes:
Five customizable moving averages (MA №1 to MA №5) are calculated using different lengths and types, including SMA, EMA, WMA, and VWMA, to suit various trading styles.
The MAs are plotted on different timeframes, allowing traders to visualize trend alignment and identify market momentum across short, medium, and long terms.
Signals for Buying and Selling:
Buy Signals: When the shorter-term MA (MA №1) crosses above a longer-term MA (MA №2 or MA №3), the strategy triggers a buy signal, indicating potential upward momentum.
Sell Signals: When MA №1 crosses below a longer-term MA (MA №2 or MA №3), a sell signal is triggered, suggesting potential downward movement.
Visual Aids and Alerts:
The strategy uses color fills between MAs to indicate bullish (green) or bearish (red) trends, helping traders assess market conditions at a glance.
Alerts for buy and sell signals keep traders notified in real-time, helping to avoid missed opportunities.
Important Note
This strategy is purely educational and does not constitute investment advice. It serves as a tool to help traders understand how multi-timeframe moving averages and crossovers can be used in technical analysis. As with any trading strategy, we recommend testing in a simulated environment and exercising caution.
Custom 4 Moving Averages with Styles & ThresholdsThis Pine Script indicator is designed to provide traders with a unique method of analyzing price action through four customizable moving averages, alongside buy and sell threshold detection. The script is fully original and adds value by allowing traders to configure and visualize multiple MAs with different smoothing options, and by detecting critical buy/sell moments based on the interaction between price and the moving averages.
What the Script Does:
Custom Moving Averages: The script plots four distinct moving averages (MA1, MA2, MA3, and MA4) on the chart. Each MA can be configured for length, offset, and optional smoothing to match different trading strategies. This flexibility allows traders to tailor the script for various timeframes, trend detection, and market conditions.
Buy (BT) and Sell (ST) Threshold Detection: The indicator identifies critical points for buying and selling:
Buy Threshold (BT): The script identifies potential buy points when the current candle's low is above the MA2 from the previous candle, suggesting potential upward momentum.
Sell Threshold (ST): It detects potential sell points when the current MA2 falls below the previous candle’s low, indicating possible downward momentum. These thresholds are clearly marked on the chart with green arrows for BT (Buy) and red arrows for ST (Sell).
Horizontal Threshold Lines: Horizontal lines are drawn when BT or ST conditions are met. These lines help traders visualize support and resistance levels, providing clarity in decision-making. The length of these lines is customizable, allowing users to control how long they remain visible on the chart.
Dynamic Cleanup of Old Lines: To keep the chart clean and reduce clutter, the script automatically removes old BT and ST lines after a set period, ensuring that traders can focus on the most relevant data.
Underlying Concepts:
Moving Averages: Moving averages are a fundamental tool in technical analysis for identifying trends. This script uses various moving averages (calculated from high, low, close, and HL2) and allows for smoothing to adjust the sensitivity to price movements. Traders can apply this flexibility to multiple trading styles, from scalping to swing trading.
Threshold Conditions: The buy and sell conditions in this script are based on simple but effective price action patterns, where the interaction between price and MA2 determines entry or exit points. This approach is useful in trend-following strategies, where traders aim to capitalize on momentum shifts.
How to Use the Script:
Configure Moving Averages: Start by adjusting the lengths, offsets, and smoothing options for each moving average. For short-term trading, shorter MA lengths might be more suitable, while longer MAs can help identify broader trends.
Observe Buy and Sell Signals: Look for green arrows (BT) as potential buy signals and red arrows (ST) as potential sell signals. These signals appear when certain conditions between price and MA2 are met, giving traders clear visual cues for entries and exits.
Support/Resistance Levels: Pay attention to the horizontal lines drawn when BT or ST conditions occur. These lines can act as support or resistance levels, helping you identify potential price targets or stop-loss points.
Why This Script is Useful:
This indicator combines the power of multiple moving averages with customizable features, making it versatile for different market conditions. By adding clear buy and sell signals based on a logical threshold system, the script helps traders make informed decisions with minimal guesswork. Unlike many basic indicators, this one provides flexibility and original insight into market dynamics, making it a valuable tool for both beginner and experienced traders.
Pressure Zones with MA [SYNC & TRADE]Description:
The "Pressure Zones with MA " indicator is designed to analyze the pressure of buyers and sellers on the market, as well as to identify areas of increased activity. When designing it, the main task was to see manipulations on the market, when the power of sellers or the power of buyers is in a sideways trend or falling, and the opposite is growing.
Here is a good example. The power of sellers is in a narrow sideways trend, and sales are increasing very aggressively. The power of buyers is in a gray block with the inscription "range". Then we see the fading of the power of sellers and buyers furiously pounce on the asset that has fallen in price.
Here are the main aspects of its operation and use:
First, turn off the moving averages in the indicator settings, on the "style" tab. Choose your favorite asset, which you understand well and know all its ups and downs. I want you to see a clean chart, so that you can be imbued with a new idea, you need to watch it. This is a proprietary indicator and I understand that it does not have the inscription “buy” / “sell”, but believe me, if you pay attention, you will see its strength. I usually add functionality later, but the light code and visualization remain preferable in the first version.
Purpose:
The indicator helps to determine the strength of buyers and sellers in the market.
It visualizes zones where the pressure of buyers or sellers prevails.
Additionally displays moving averages (MA) for data smoothing.
Main components:
Buyer strength chart (blue line)
Seller strength chart (red line)
Moving averages for buyer and seller strength
Threshold line for defining zones
Indicator settings:
Period: defines the base period for calculations (default 89)
Threshold: sets the level for defining pressure zones (from 0 to 2, default 0.8)
MA type for purchases and sales: select the type of moving average (SMA, EMA, RMA, WMA, VWMA, HMA)
MA length for purchases and sales: period for calculating moving averages
Colors for uptrends and downtrends of MA
Moving averages:
Help smooth out data and identify trends
The direction of the MA (up or down) further confirms the current trend
The color of the MA changes depending on the direction (blue for up, red for down)
Now you can turn them on and see how they help in understanding where one or another force is weakening. It is in this case that we see the intersection of forces and the sellers' force is moving aggressively upward. Also, according to the moving average, we see the weakening of the sellers' force. The buyers' force was in the sideways range and then switched on to buy out and also according to the moving average, it is clear where the main interest in purchases disappeared.
Use:
Observe the strength of buyers and sellers relative to each other. They can move simultaneously in one direction, this is regarded as balance
can move in different directions and this will strengthen the upward force of sellers or buyers
You may also notice that the movement of one of the forces will be in a narrow range and the second will grow strongly - this is manipulation or trading without resistance.
You can also play with the threshold line, but it is not the main thing here. I disabled this function in the code.
// Display zones
//bgcolor(buy_zone ? color.new(color.blue, 90) : na)
//bgcolor(sell_zone ? color.new(color.red, 90) : na)
If you want to enable it, copy it instead
// Display zones
bgcolor(buy_zone ? color.new(color.blue, 90) : na)
bgcolor(sell_zone ? color.new(color.red, 90) : na)
Pay attention to the intersection of forces.
Use crossovers of force lines and their moving averages as potential signals
Combine the indicator signals with other technical analysis tools for confirmation
Limitations:
Requires customization of parameters for a specific trading instrument and timeframe
The indicator should not be used as the only tool for making trading decisions
Remember that this indicator provides additional information for market analysis, but is not a guarantee of successful trades. Always combine it with other analysis methods and follow risk management rules.
Описание:
Индикатор "Pressure Zones with MA " предназначен для анализа давления покупателей и продавцов на рынке, а также для определения зон повышенной активности. При его проектировании основная задача была увидеть манипуляции на рынке, когда сила продавцов или сила покупателей стоит в боковике или падает, а противоположная растет.
Вот хороший пример. Сила продавцов стоит в узком боковике, а продажи очень агрессивно усиливаются. Сила покупателей в сером блоке с надписью “range”. Потом мы видим затухание силы продавцов и покупателей яростно накидываются на подешевевший актив.
Вот основные аспекты его работы и использования:
Для начала отключите средние скользящие в настройках индикатора, на закладке “стиль”. Выберите свой любимый актив, в котором вы хорошо разбираетесь и знаете его все взлеты и падения. Я хочу чтобы вы увидели чистый график, для того чтобы вы могли проникнутся новой идеей нужно понаблюдать за ним. Это авторский индикатор и я понимаю что на нем нет надписи “купить” / “продать”, но поверьте уделив свое внимание вы увидите его силу. Я обычно потом добавляю функционал но легкий код и визуализация, в первом варианте остается предпочтительней.
Назначение:
Индикатор помогает определить силу покупателей и продавцов на рынке.
Он визуализирует зоны, где преобладает давление покупателей или продавцов.
Дополнительно отображает скользящие средние (MA) для сглаживания данных.
Основные компоненты:
График силы покупателей (синяя линия)
График силы продавцов (красная линия)
Скользящие средние для силы покупателей и продавцов
Пороговая линия для определения зон
Настройки индикатора:
Период (Period): определяет базовый период для расчетов (по умолчанию 89)
Порог (Threshold): устанавливает уровень для определения зон давления (от 0 до 2, по умолчанию 0.8)
Тип MA для покупок и продаж: выбор типа скользящей средней (SMA, EMA, RMA, WMA, VWMA, HMA)
Длина MA для покупок и продаж: период для расчета скользящих средних
Цвета для восходящего и нисходящего трендов MA
Скользящие средние:
Помогают сглаживать данные и выявлять тренды
Направление MA (вверх или вниз) дополнительно подтверждает текущий тренд
Цвет MA меняется в зависимости от направления (синий для восходящего, красный для нисходящего)
Теперь вы можете их включить и посмотреть как они помогают в понимании где ослабевает та или иная сила. Именно в этом случае мы видим пересечение сил и сила продавцов идет агрессивно вверх. Также по средней скользящей мы видим затухание силы продавцов. Сила покупателей стояла в боковике потом включилась на откуп и также по средней скользящей видно где пропал основной интерес к покупкам.
Использование:
Наблюдайте за силой покупателей и продавцов относительно друг друга. Они могут двигаться одновременно в одном направлении это расценивается как баланс
могут двигаться в разных направлениях и это будет усиливать восходящую силу продавцов или покупателей
также возможно вы заметите что движение одной из силы будет в узком диапазоне а вторая будет сильно расти - это манипуляция или торговля без сопротивления.
Также можете поиграть с пороговой линией, но она совершенно не главная здесь. В коде я отключил эту функцию.
// Display zones
//bgcolor(buy_zone ? color.new(color.blue, 90) : na)
//bgcolor(sell_zone ? color.new(color.red, 90) : na)
Если захотите включить скопируйте вместо нее
// Display zones
bgcolor(buy_zone ? color.new(color.blue, 90) : na)
bgcolor(sell_zone ? color.new(color.red, 90) : na)
Обращайте внимание на пересечение сил.
Используйте пересечения линий силы и их скользящих средних как потенциальные сигналы
Комбинируйте сигналы индикатора с другими инструментами технического анализа для подтверждения
Ограничения:
Требуется настройка параметров под конкретный торговый инструмент и таймфрейм
Не следует использовать индикатор как единственный инструмент для принятия торговых решений
Помните, что этот индикатор предоставляет дополнительную информацию для анализа рынка, но не является гарантией успешных сделок. Всегда сочетайте его с другими методами анализа и соблюдайте правила управления рисками.
WaveTrend With Divs & RSI(STOCH) Divs by WeloTradesWaveTrend with Divergences & RSI(STOCH) Divergences by WeloTrades
Overview
The "WaveTrend With Divergences & RSI(STOCH) Divergences" is an advanced Pine Script™ indicator designed for TradingView, offering a multi-dimensional analysis of market conditions. This script integrates several technical indicators—WaveTrend, Money Flow Index (MFI), RSI, and Stochastic RSI—into a cohesive tool that identifies both regular and hidden divergences across these indicators. These divergences can indicate potential market reversals and provide critical trading opportunities.
This indicator is not just a simple combination of popular tools; it offers extensive customization options, organized data presentation, and valuable trading signals that are easy to interpret. Whether you're a day trader or a long-term investor, this script enhances your ability to make informed decisions.
Originality and Usefulness
The originality of this script lies in its integration and the synergy it creates among the indicators used. Rather than merely combining multiple indicators, this script allows them to work together, enhancing each other's strengths. For example, by identifying divergences across WaveTrend, RSI, and Stochastic RSI simultaneously, the script provides multiple layers of confirmation, which reduces the likelihood of false signals and increases the reliability of trading signals.
The usefulness of this script is apparent in its ability to offer a consolidated view of market dynamics. It not only simplifies the analytical process by combining different indicators but also provides deeper insights through its divergence detection features. This comprehensive approach is designed to help traders identify potential market reversals, confirm trends, and ultimately make more informed trading decisions.
How the Components Work Together
1. Cross-Validation of Signals
WaveTrend: This indicator is primarily used to identify overbought and oversold conditions, as well as potential buy and sell signals. WaveTrend's ability to smooth price data and reduce noise makes it a reliable tool for identifying trend reversals.
RSI & Stochastic RSI: These momentum oscillators are used to measure the speed and change of price movements. While RSI identifies general overbought and oversold conditions, Stochastic RSI offers a more granular view by tracking the RSI’s level relative to its high-low range over a period of time. When these indicators align with WaveTrend signals, it adds a layer of confirmation that enhances the reliability of the signals.
Money Flow Index (MFI): This volume-weighted indicator assesses the inflow and outflow of money in an asset, giving insights into buying and selling pressure. By analyzing the MFI alongside WaveTrend and RSI indicators, the script can cross-validate signals, ensuring that buy or sell signals are supported by actual market volume.
Example Bullish scenario:
When a bullish divergence is detected on the RSI and confirmed by a corresponding bullish signal on the WaveTrend, along with an increasing Money Flow Index, the probability of a successful trade setup increases. This cross-validation minimizes the risk of acting on false signals, which might occur when relying on a single indicator.
Example Bearish scenario:
When a bearish divergence is detected on the RSI and confirmed by a corresponding bearish signal on the WaveTrend, along with an decreasing Money Flow Index, the probability of a successful trade setup increases. This cross-validation minimizes the risk of acting on false signals, which might occur when relying on a single indicator.
2. Divergence Detection and Market Reversals
Regular Divergences: Occur when the price action and an indicator (like RSI or WaveTrend) move in opposite directions. Regular bullish divergence signals a potential upward reversal when the price makes a lower low while the indicator makes a higher low. Conversely, regular bearish divergence suggests a downward reversal when the price makes a higher high, but the indicator makes a lower high.
Hidden Divergences: These occur when the price action and indicator move in the same direction, but with different momentum. Hidden bullish divergence suggests the continuation of an uptrend, while hidden bearish divergence suggests the continuation of a downtrend. By detecting these divergences across multiple indicators, the script identifies potential trend reversals or continuations with greater accuracy.
Example: The script might detect a regular bullish divergence on the WaveTrend while simultaneously identifying a hidden bullish divergence on the RSI. This combination suggests that while a trend reversal is possible, the overall market sentiment remains bullish, providing a nuanced view of the market.
A Regular Bullish Divergence Example:
A Hidden Bullish Divergence Example:
A Regular Bearish Divergence Example:
A Hidden Bearish Divergence Example:
3. Trend Strength and Sentiment Analysis
WaveTrend: Measures the strength and direction of the trend. By identifying the extremes of market sentiment (overbought and oversold levels), WaveTrend provides early signals for potential reversals.
Money Flow Index (MFI): Assesses the underlying sentiment by analyzing the flow of money. A rising MFI during an uptrend confirms strong buying pressure, while a falling MFI during a downtrend confirms selling pressure. This helps traders assess whether a trend is likely to continue or reverse.
RSI & Stochastic RSI: Offer a momentum-based perspective on the trend’s strength. High RSI or Stochastic RSI values indicate that the asset may be overbought, suggesting a potential reversal. Conversely, low values indicate oversold conditions, signaling a possible upward reversal.
Example:
During a strong uptrend, the WaveTrend & RSI's might signal overbought conditions, suggesting caution. If the MFI also shows decreasing buying pressure and the RSI reaches extreme levels, these indicators together suggest that the trend might be weakening, and a reversal could be imminent.
Example:
During a strong downtrend, the WaveTrend & RSI's might signal oversold conditions, suggesting caution. If the MFI also shows increasing buying pressure and the RSI reaches extreme levels, these indicators together suggest that the trend might be weakening, and a reversal could be imminent.
Conclusion
The "WaveTrend With Divergences & RSI(STOCH) Divergences" script offers a powerful, integrated approach to technical analysis by combining trend, momentum, and sentiment indicators into a single tool. Its unique value lies in the cross-validation of signals, the ability to detect divergences, and the comprehensive view it provides of market conditions. By offering traders multiple layers of analysis and customization options, this script is designed to enhance trading decisions, reduce false signals, and provide clearer insights into market dynamics.

Price and Volume Stochastic Divergence [MW]Introduction
This indicator creates signals of interest for entering and exiting long and short positions on equities. It primarily uses up and down trends defined by the change in cumulative volume with some filtering provided by a short period exponential moving average (9 EMA by default).
Settings
Moving Average Period : The moving average over which the cumulative volume delta is calculated. Default: 14
Short Period EMA : The EMA used to represent price action, and is used to generate the EMA Delta line. Default: 27 (3*3*3)
Long Period EMA : The second EMA used to calculate the EMA Delta line. Default: 108 (2*2*3*3*3)
Stochastic K Value : The value used for stochastic curve smoothing. Default: 3
Dot Size : The diameter of the larger indicator. Default: 10
Dot Transparency : The transparency level of the outer ring of the primary BUY/SELL signal. Default: 50 (0 is opaque, 100 is transparent)
Band Distance from 0 to 100 : The upper and lower band distance. Default: 20
Calculations
The cumulative volume delta (CVD) is calculated using candle bodies and wicks. For a red candle, buying volume is calculated by multiplying the volume by the spread percentage of the average of the top and bottom wicks, while Selling Volume is calculated multiplying the volume by the spread percentage of the average of the top and bottom wicks - in addition to the spread percentage of the candle body.
For a green candle, buying volume is calculated by multiplying the volume by the spread percentage of the average of the top and bottom wicks - plus the spread percentage of the candle body - while Selling Volume is calculated using only the spread percentage average of the top and bottom wicks.
Once we have the CVD, we can then perform a stochastic calculation of the CVD value.
stochastic calculation = (current value - lowest value in period) / (highest value in period - lowest value in period)
We’ll do the same stochastic calculation for the short term EMA (27 EMA default) as well as for the difference between the short term and long term EMA.
When the stochastic CVD value is rising from zero and the short term EMA stochastic value equals 100, then it’s a major bullish signal. When the stochastic CVD value is falling from 100 and the short term EMA stochastic value equals 0, then it’s a major bearish signal.
Sometimes, after a bullish or bearish signal, the stochastic CVD will reverse direction triggering a new opposing signal.
How to Interpret
The CVD indicates when there is either more buying than selling or vice versa. A value over 50 for the stochastic CVD curve represents more buying taking place. A value below 50 represents more selling. One might intuitively believe that when there is more buying volume than selling volume that the price would follow suit. This is not always the case.
Most of the time buying volume will precede consistent price movement upwards, and selling volume will precede consistent price movement downwards. When this divergence occurs, the indicator generates a signal. When this divergence begins to fail, and buying or selling volume reverses, then another signal is generated indicating that the buying/selling impulse is headed back into the direction of price action.
These interactions are visually represented on the chart with the coral line that represents CVD, and the yellow line that represents the EMA, or the average price. When the coral line goes up and the yellow line stays down, that’s the BUY signal. When the coral line goes down and the yellow line stays up, that’s the sell signal. When the coral line switches direction, the chart generates another signal showing that volume is moving in a direction that supports the price.
The orange line represents the stochastic representation of the difference between the short EMA (27 by default) and the long EMA (108 by default). EMA differences is a method that can be used to define a trend. When a short term EMA is above a longer term EMA, that may represent a bullish trend. When it is below, that may represent a bearish trend. When all 3 lines are rising or falling in the same direction at the same time, it tends to indicate a movement that has the potential to continue.
Other Usage Notes and Limitations
It's important for traders to be aware of the limitations of any indicator and to use them as part of a broader, well-rounded trading strategy that includes risk management, fundamental analysis, and other tools that can help with reducing false signals, determining trend direction, and providing additional confirmation for a trade decision. Diversifying strategies and not relying solely on one type of indicator or analysis can help mitigate some of these risks.
This indicator can be paired with the MW Volume Impulse indicator if it is desired to see the actual buying and selling cumulative volume deltas. Also, in many cases, the BUY and SELL signals tend to correspond with Keltner Bands (ATR Bands) becoming extended. Lastly, volume weighted average price (VWAP) along with other macro events can impact price and negate signals. To view VWAP lines, you may choose to use the Multi VWAP or Multi VWAP for Gaps indicator to help ensure that the signals you see in this indicator are not being affected by VWAP lines.

3. Strategy Overview
What is the Supertrend Advance Strategy?
The Supertrend Advance Strategy is a refined version of the classic Supertrend Indicator, which was developed to aid traders in spotting market trends. The strategy utilizes a combination of data points, including average true range (ATR) and price momentum, to generate buy and sell signals.
In essence, the Supertrend Advance Strategy can be visualized as a line that moves with the price. When the price is above the Supertrend line, it indicates an uptrend and suggests a potential buy position. Conversely, when the price is below the Supertrend line, it hints at a downtrend, suggesting a potential selling point.
Strategy Goals and Objectives:
1. Trend Identification: At the core of the Supertrend Advance Strategy is the goal to efficiently and consistently identify prevailing market trends. By recognizing these trends, traders can position themselves to capitalize on price movements in their favor.
2. Reducing Noise: Financial markets are often inundated with 'noise' - short-term price fluctuations that can mislead traders. The Supertrend Advance Strategy aims to filter out this noise, allowing for clearer decision-making.
3. Enhancing Risk Management: With clear buy and sell signals, traders can set more precise stop-loss and take-profit points. This leads to better risk management and potentially improved profitability.
4. Versatility: While primarily used for trend identification, the strategy can be integrated with other technical tools and indicators to create a comprehensive trading system.
Type of Assets/Markets to Apply the Strategy:
1. Equities: The Supertrend Advance Strategy is highly popular among stock traders. Its ability to capture long-term trends makes it particularly useful for those trading individual stocks or equity indices.
2. Forex: Given the 24-hour nature of the Forex market and its propensity for trends, the Supertrend Advance Strategy is a valuable tool for currency traders.
3. Commodities: Whether it's gold, oil, or agricultural products, commodities often move in extended trends. The strategy can help in identifying and capitalizing on these movements.
4. Cryptocurrencies: The volatile nature of cryptocurrencies means they can have pronounced trends. The Supertrend Advance Strategy can aid crypto traders in navigating these often tumultuous waters.
5. Futures & Options: Traders and investors in derivative markets can utilize the strategy to make more informed decisions about contract entries and exits.
It's important to note that while the Supertrend Advance Strategy can be applied across various assets and markets, its effectiveness might vary based on market conditions, timeframe, and the specific characteristics of the asset in question. As always, it's recommended to use the strategy in conjunction with other analytical tools and to backtest its effectiveness in specific scenarios before committing to trades.
4. Input Settings
Understanding and correctly configuring input settings is crucial for optimizing the Supertrend Advance Strategy for any specific market or asset. These settings, when tweaked correctly, can drastically impact the strategy's performance.
Grouping Inputs:
Before diving into individual input settings, it's important to group similar inputs. Grouping can simplify the user interface, making it easier to adjust settings related to a specific function or indicator.

1. Period: The number of bars used in the CCI calculation, often set to 20.
2. Overbought Level: Typically set at +100, denoting overbought conditions.
3. Oversold Level: Usually set at -100, indicating oversold conditions.
SL/TP Settings (Stop Loss/Take Profit):
1. SL Multiplier: Defines the multiplier for the average true range (ATR) to set the stop loss.
2. TP Multiplier: Defines the multiplier for the average true range (ATR) to set the take profit.
Filtering Conditions:
This section allows traders to set conditions to filter out certain signals. For example, one might only want to take buy signals when the RSI is below 30, ensuring they buy during oversold conditions.
Trade Direction and Backtest Period:
1. Trade Direction: Allows traders to specify whether they want to take long trades, short trades, or both.
2. Backtest Period: Specifies the time range for backtesting the strategy. Traders can choose from options like 'Last 6 months,' 'Last 1 year,' etc.
It's essential to remember that while default settings are provided for many of these tools, optimal settings can vary based on the market, timeframe, and trading style. Always backtest new settings on historical data to gauge their potential efficacy.
5. Understanding Strategy Conditions
Developing an understanding of the conditions set within a trading strategy is essential for traders to maximize its potential. Here, we delve deep into the logic behind these conditions, using the Supertrend Advance Strategy as our focal point.
Basic Logic Behind Conditions:
Every strategy is built around a set of conditions that provide buy or sell signals. The conditions are based on mathematical or statistical methods and are rooted in the study of historical price data. The fundamental idea is to recognize patterns or behaviors that have been profitable in the past and might be profitable in the future.
Buy and Sell Conditions:
1. Buy Conditions: Usually formulated around bullish signals or indicators suggesting upward price momentum.
2. Sell Conditions: Centered on bearish signals or indicators indicating downward price momentum.
Simple Strategy:
The simple strategy could involve using just the Supertrend indicator. Here:
• Buy: When price closes above the Supertrend line.
• Sell: When price closes below the Supertrend line.
Pullback Strategy:
This strategy capitalizes on price retracements:
• Buy: When the price retraces to the Supertrend line after a bullish signal and is supported by another bullish indicator.
• Sell: When the price retraces to the Supertrend line after a bearish signal and is confirmed by another bearish indicator.
Indicators Used:
EMA (Exponential Moving Average):
• Logic: EMA gives more weight to recent prices, making it more responsive to current price movements. A shorter-period EMA crossing above a longer-period EMA can be a bullish sign, while the opposite is bearish.
RSI (Relative Strength Index):
• Logic: RSI measures the magnitude of recent price changes to analyze overbought or oversold conditions. Values above 70 are typically considered overbought, and values below 30 are considered oversold.
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence):
• Logic: MACD assesses the relationship between two EMAs of a security’s price. The MACD line crossing above the signal line can be a bullish signal, while crossing below can be bearish.
CCI (Commodity Channel Index):
• Logic: CCI compares a security's average price change with its average price variation. A CCI value above +100 may mean the price is overbought, while below -100 might signify an oversold condition.
And others...
As the strategy expands or contracts, more indicators might be added or removed. The crucial point is to understand the core logic behind each, ensuring they align with the strategy's objectives.
Logic Behind Each Indicator:
1. EMA: Emphasizes recent price movements; provides dynamic support and resistance levels.
2. RSI: Indicates overbought and oversold conditions based on recent price changes.
3. MACD: Showcases momentum and direction of a trend by comparing two EMAs.
4. CCI: Measures the difference between a security's price change and its average price change.
Understanding strategy conditions is not just about knowing when to buy or sell but also about comprehending the underlying market dynamics that those conditions represent. As you familiarize yourself with each condition and indicator, you'll be better prepared to adapt and evolve with the ever-changing financial markets.
6. Trade Execution and Management
Trade execution and management are crucial aspects of any trading strategy. Efficient execution can significantly impact profitability, while effective management can preserve capital during adverse market conditions. In this section, we'll explore the nuances of position entry, exit strategies, and various Stop Loss (SL) and Take Profit (TP) methodologies within the Supertrend Advance Strategy.
Position Entry:
Effective trade entry revolves around:
1. Timing: Enter at a point where the risk-reward ratio is favorable. This often corresponds to confirmatory signals from multiple indicators.
2. Volume Analysis: Ensure there's adequate volume to support the movement. Volume can validate the strength of a signal.
3. Confirmation: Use multiple indicators or chart patterns to confirm the entry point. For instance, a buy signal from the Supertrend indicator can be confirmed with a bullish MACD crossover.
Position Exit Strategies:
A successful exit strategy will lock in profits and minimize losses. Here are some strategies:
1. Fixed Time Exit: Exiting after a predetermined period.
2. Percentage-based Profit Target: Exiting after a certain percentage gain.
3. Indicator-based Exit: Exiting when an indicator gives an opposing signal.
Percentage-based SL/TP:
• Stop Loss (SL): Set a fixed percentage below the entry price to limit potential losses.
• Example: A 2% SL on an entry at $100 would trigger a sell at $98.
• Take Profit (TP): Set a fixed percentage above the entry price to lock in gains.
• Example: A 5% TP on an entry at $100 would trigger a sell at $105.
Supertrend-based SL/TP:
• Stop Loss (SL): Position the SL at the Supertrend line. If the price breaches this line, it could indicate a trend reversal.
• Take Profit (TP): One could set the TP at a point where the Supertrend line flattens or turns, indicating a possible slowdown in momentum.
Swing high/low-based SL/TP:
• Stop Loss (SL): For a long position, set the SL just below the recent swing low. For a short position, set it just above the recent swing high.
• Take Profit (TP): For a long position, set the TP near a recent swing high or resistance. For a short position, near a swing low or support.
And other methods...
1. Trailing Stop Loss: This dynamic SL adjusts with the price movement, locking in profits as the trade moves in your favor.
2. Multiple Take Profits: Divide the position into segments and set multiple TP levels, securing profits in stages.
3. Opposite Signal Exit: Exit when another reliable indicator gives an opposite signal.
Trade execution and management are as much an art as they are a science. They require a blend of analytical skill, discipline, and intuition. Regularly reviewing and refining your strategies, especially in light of changing market conditions, is crucial to maintaining consistent trading performance.
7. Visual Representations
Visual tools are essential for traders, as they simplify complex data into an easily interpretable format. Properly analyzing and understanding the plots on a chart can provide actionable insights and a more intuitive grasp of market conditions. In this section, we’ll delve into various visual representations used in the Supertrend Advance Strategy and their significance.
Understanding Plots on the Chart:
Charts are the primary visual aids for traders. The arrangement of data points, lines, and colors on them tell a story about the market's past, present, and potential future moves.
1. Data Points: These represent individual price actions over a specific timeframe. For instance, a daily chart will have data points showing the opening, closing, high, and low prices for each day.
2. Colors: Used to indicate the nature of price movement. Commonly, green is used for bullish (upward) moves and red for bearish (downward) moves.
Trend Lines:
Trend lines are straight lines drawn on a chart that connect a series of price points. Their significance:
1. Uptrend Line: Drawn along the lows, representing support. A break below might indicate a trend reversal.
2. Downtrend Line: Drawn along the highs, indicating resistance. A break above might suggest the start of a bullish trend.
Filled Areas:
These represent a range between two values on a chart, usually shaded or colored. For instance:
1. Bollinger Bands: The area between the upper and lower band is filled, giving a visual representation of volatility.
2. Volume Profile: Can show a filled area representing the amount of trading activity at different price levels.
Stop Loss and Take Profit Lines:
These are horizontal lines representing pre-determined exit points for trades.
1. Stop Loss Line: Indicates the level at which a trade will be automatically closed to limit losses. Positioned according to the trader's risk tolerance.
2. Take Profit Line: Denotes the target level to lock in profits. Set according to potential resistance (for long trades) or support (for short trades) or other technical factors.
Trailing Stop Lines:
A trailing stop is a dynamic form of stop loss that moves with the price. On a chart:
1. For Long Trades: Starts below the entry price and moves up with the price but remains static if the price falls, ensuring profits are locked in.
2. For Short Trades: Starts above the entry price and moves down with the price but remains static if the price rises.
Visual representations offer traders a clear, organized view of market dynamics. Familiarity with these tools ensures that traders can quickly and accurately interpret chart data, leading to more informed decision-making. Always ensure that the visual aids used resonate with your trading style and strategy for the best results.
8. Backtesting
Backtesting is a fundamental process in strategy development, enabling traders to evaluate the efficacy of their strategy using historical data. It provides a snapshot of how the strategy would have performed in past market conditions, offering insights into its potential strengths and vulnerabilities. In this section, we'll explore the intricacies of setting up and analyzing backtest results and the caveats one must be aware of.
Setting Up Backtest Period:
1. Duration: Determine the timeframe for the backtest. It should be long enough to capture various market conditions (bullish, bearish, sideways). For instance, if you're testing a daily strategy, consider a period of several years.
2. Data Quality: Ensure the data source is reliable, offering high-resolution and clean data. This is vital to get accurate backtest results.
3. Segmentation: Instead of a continuous period, sometimes it's helpful to backtest over distinct market phases, like a particular bear or bull market, to see how the strategy holds up in different environments.
Analyzing Backtest Results:
1. Performance Metrics: Examine metrics like the total return, annualized return, maximum drawdown, Sharpe ratio, and others to gauge the strategy's efficiency.
2. Win Rate: It's the ratio of winning trades to total trades. A high win rate doesn't always signify a good strategy; it should be evaluated in conjunction with other metrics.
3. Risk/Reward: Understand the average profit versus the average loss per trade. A strategy might have a low win rate but still be profitable if the average gain far exceeds the average loss.
4. Drawdown Analysis: Review the periods of losses the strategy could incur and how long it takes, on average, to recover.
9. Tips and Best Practices
Successful trading requires more than just knowing how a strategy works. It necessitates an understanding of when to apply it, how to adjust it to varying market conditions, and the wisdom to recognize and avoid common pitfalls. This section offers insightful tips and best practices to enhance the application of the Supertrend Advance Strategy.
When to Use the Strategy:
1. Market Conditions: Ideally, employ the Supertrend Advance Strategy during trending market conditions. This strategy thrives when there are clear upward or downward trends. It might be less effective during consolidative or sideways markets.
2. News Events: Be cautious around significant news events, as they can cause extreme volatility. It might be wise to avoid trading immediately before and after high-impact news.
3. Liquidity: Ensure you are trading in assets/markets with sufficient liquidity. High liquidity ensures that the price movements are more reflective of genuine market sentiment and not due to thin volume.
Adjusting Settings for Different Markets/Timeframes:
1. Markets: Each market (stocks, forex, commodities) has its own characteristics. It's essential to adjust the strategy's parameters to align with the market's volatility and liquidity.
2. Timeframes: Shorter timeframes (like 1-minute or 5-minute charts) tend to have more noise. You might need to adjust the settings to filter out false signals. Conversely, for longer timeframes (like daily or weekly charts), you might need to be more responsive to genuine trend changes.
3. Customization: Regularly review and tweak the strategy's settings. Periodic adjustments can ensure the strategy remains optimized for the current market conditions.

Other comments
Value of combining several indicators in this script and how they work together
Diversification of Signals: Just as diversifying an investment portfolio can reduce risk, using multiple indicators can offer varied perspectives on potential price movements. Each indicator can capture a different facet of the market, ensuring that traders are not overly reliant on a single data point.
Confirmation & Reduced False Signals: A common challenge with many indicators is the potential for false signals. By requiring confirmation from multiple indicators before acting, the chances of acting on a false signal can be significantly reduced.
Flexibility Across Market Conditions: Different indicators might perform better under different market conditions. For example, while moving averages might excel in trending markets, oscillators like RSI might be more useful during sideways or range-bound conditions. A mashup strategy can potentially adapt better to varying market scenarios.
Comprehensive Analysis: With multiple indicators, traders can gauge trend strength, momentum, volatility, and potential market reversals all at once, providing a holistic view of the market.
How do the different indicators in the Supertrend Advance Strategy work together?
Supertrend: This is primarily a trend-following indicator. It provides traders with buy and sell signals based on the volatility of the price. When combined with other indicators, it can filter out noise and give more weight to strong, confirmed trends.
EMA (Exponential Moving Average): EMA gives more weight to recent price data. It can be used to identify the direction and strength of a trend. When the price is above the EMA, it's generally considered bullish, and vice versa.
RSI (Relative Strength Index): An oscillator that measures the magnitude of recent price changes to evaluate overbought or oversold conditions. By cross-referencing with other indicators like EMA or MACD, traders can spot potential reversals or confirmations of a trend.
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence): This indicator identifies changes in the strength, direction, momentum, and duration of a trend in a stock's price. When the MACD line crosses above the signal line, it can be a bullish sign, and when it crosses below, it can be bearish. Pairing MACD with Supertrend can provide dual confirmation of a trend.
CCI (Commodity Channel Index): Initially developed for commodities, CCI can indicate overbought or oversold conditions. It can be used in conjunction with other indicators to determine entry and exit points.
In essence, the synergy of these indicators provides a balanced, comprehensive approach to trading. Each indicator offers its unique lens into market conditions, and when they align, it can be a powerful indication of a trading opportunity. This combination not only reduces the potential drawbacks of each individual indicator but leverages their strengths, aiming for more consistent and informed trading decisions.

• This strategy has been designed to identify the most promising, highest probability entries and trades for each stock or other financial security.
• The combination of the qualifiers results in a highly selective strategy which only considers the most promising swing-trading entries. As a result, you will normally only find a low number of trades for each stock or other financial security per year in case you apply this strategy for the daily charts. Shorter timeframes will result in a higher number of trades / year.
• Consequently, traders need to apply this strategy for a full watchlist rather than just one financial security.
• Default properties: RSI on (length 14, RSI buy level 50, sell level 50), EMA, RSI, MACD on, type of strategy pullback, SL/TP type: ATR (length 10, factor 3), trade direction both, quantity 5, take profit swing hl 5.1, highest / lowest lookback 2, enable ATR trail (ATR length 10, SL ATR multiplier 1.4, TP multiplier 2.1, lookback = 4, trade direction = both).
FalconRed 5 EMA Indicator (Powerofstocks)Improved version:
This indicator is based on Subhashish Pani's "Power of Stocks" 5 EMA Strategy, which aims to identify potential buying and selling opportunities in the market. The indicator plots the 5 EMA (Exponential Moving Average) and generates Buy/Sell signals with corresponding Target and Stoploss levels.
Subhashish Pani's 5 EMA Strategy is a straightforward approach. For intraday trading, a 5-minute timeframe is recommended for selling. In this strategy, you can choose to sell futures, sell calls, or buy puts as part of your selling strategy. The goal is to capture market tops by selling at the peak, anticipating a reversal for profitable trades. Although this strategy may result in frequent stop losses, they are typically small, while the minimum target should be at least three times the risk taken. By staying aligned with the trend, significant profits can be achieved. Subhashish Pani claims that this strategy has a 60% success rate.
Strategy for Selling (Short Future/Call/Stock or Buy Put):
1. When a candle completely closes above the 5 EMA (with no part of the candle touching the 5 EMA), it is considered an Alert Candle.
2. If the next candle is also entirely above the 5 EMA and does not break the low of the previous Alert Candle, ignore the previous Alert Candle and consider the new candle as the new Alert Candle.
3. Continue shifting the Alert Candle in this manner. However, when the next candle breaks the low of the Alert Candle, take a short trade (e.g., short futures, calls, stocks, or buy puts).
4. Set the stop loss above the high of the Alert Candle, and the minimum target should be 1:3 (at least three times the stop loss).
Strategy for Buying (Buy Future/Call/Stock or Sell Put):
1. When a candle completely closes below the 5 EMA (with no part of the candle touching the 5 EMA), it is considered an Alert Candle.
2. If the next candle is also entirely below the 5 EMA and does not break the high of the previous Alert Candle, ignore the previous Alert Candle and consider the new candle as the new Alert Candle.
3. Continue shifting the Alert Candle in this manner. However, when the next candle breaks the high of the Alert Candle, take a long trade (e.g., buy futures, calls, stocks, or sell puts).
4. Set the stop loss below the low of the Alert Candle, and the minimum target should be 1:3 (at least three times the stop loss).
Buy/Sell with Additional Conditions:
An additional condition is added to the buying/selling strategy:
1. Check if the closing price of the current candle is lower than the closing price of the Alert Candle for selling, or higher than the closing price of the Alert Candle for buying.
- This condition aims to filter out false moves, potentially preventing entering trades based on temporary fluctuations. However, it may cause you to miss out on significant moves, as you will enter trades after the candle closes, rather than at the breakout point.
Note: According to Subhashish Pani, the recommended timeframe for intraday buying is 15 minutes. However, this strategy can also be applied to positional/swing trading. If used on a monthly timeframe, it can be beneficial for long-term investing as well. The rules remain the same for all types of trades and timeframes.

Note: This strategy is not limited to intraday trading and can be applied to positional/swing
Pressure - Buying and SellingThis is the Pressure Indicator.
The Pressure Indicator analyzes a number of price ratios to measure the pressure of Buyers and Sellers.
I’ve also added to the indicator:
1) Moving Averages (MA) – You can choose 3 types of MA:
- Simple Moving Average (SMA)
- Exponential Moving Average (EMA) - default
- Volume Weighted Moving Average (VWMA)
- Arnaud Legoux Moving Average (ALMA)
By default the MA are not displayed. You can turn them on or off.
2) Standard Deviation Bands and MA Bands – Bands only for the MA type 1 selection. Usually, the Pressureis inside the Bands. If it is beyond the Bands that could mean the current trend is ending. The MA Bands are turned off by default but you can turn them on the Styles Tab Menu.
3) Levels for Overbought and Oversold Zones:
- Gray Overbought 60
- Gray Oversold 40
4) Levels for Buying and Selling Pressure (3 types of pressure + 1 more). If the Pressure is crossing various intermediate levels that means there is Buying or Selling Pressure at those levels.
5) Signals for Crossing Overbought and Oversold Levels:
- Top Red fills for Crossing Down Overbought Level
- Bottom Lime fills for Crossing Up Oversold Level
6) Signals for Buying and Selling Pressure:
- Buy Pressure 1 and 2 are the smaller lime dots.
- Buy Pressure 1 and 2 together are the bigger lime dots.
- Buy Pressure 3 (Crossing Deviation Bands Up) are the blue dots.
- Sell Pressure 1 and 2 are the smaller red dots.
- Sell Pressure 1 and 2 together are the bigger red dots.
- Sell Pressure 3 (Crossing Deviation Bands Down) are the orange dots.
If there are more than one dot appearing at the same moment they will appear displaced in a vertical way at the same time.
If there is something wrong with the code or its calculations, please let me know.
If you want to modify or improve the code, feel free to do that, but please let me know the changes you made.
This Indicator is very accurate when using the Weekly Timeframe . I hope you enjoy it!
