Noldo Blockchain Cryptocurrency Indicator
Hello, this script has the same logic as Noldo CFTC COT Forex Indicator :
And Noldo CFTC COT Commodities Indicator :
*
Script briefly calculates the period length between two signals of Pivot Reversal Strategy when new signal arrives and allows us to see relative Blockchain data and price changes of Major Cryptocurrencies over that automatic length.
This saves us from the hassle and time wasting of searching for a reference point.
Usage
This script works only on all Bitcoin / U.S Dollar pairs and futures.
It only works on 1W graphics.
ICOT data are pulled via Quandl
NOTE :
Since blockchain data is very votalile, 7-day ema values are adjusted to take into account.
Regards.

[Bitcoin] Lastbattle's nose pickerI've been working on a top and bottom picker script over the past couple of weeks, based on RSI of multiple timeframe closing price. It've been a pretty good trading system that's tested over the last meteoric rise from 220~270 and back down to 230 right now, and I think it should be released to the community.
Sure, I'm not worried about this strategy not working anymore after it is being used by the majority. Everyone have a different view of the market, and this is more towards psychology. It'll likely to hold for as long as there are still humans trading Bitcoins. Bitcoin market is full of emotions, you'll never run out of it.
So why does it work?
If you take a look at the live charts offered by Bitcoinwisdom and Cryptowatch, they only offer 1, 3, 5, and 15 minute timeframe by default with no other option to switch.
Naturally more traders will look at these levels for oversold and overbought condition.
The same indicator does not work for the broader commodities market such as Gold and Silver.
How does it work?
As long as the RSI levels of 1, 3, 5, and 15 minute fulfills the oversold/overbought level, a signal will be given.
The overbought/oversold level gets compensated the higher volatility the market is in.
Note: **
-This is only for exit strategy. If you're on long, consider reducing or exiting your position when it displays a red. On the other hand if you're short, consider reducing or covering your shorts if it shows a green.
-It may give false signal in a trending market, use your trading experience and judgement to filter them out. (eg: uptrend usually have more than 1 legs AND after a long consolidation, RSI gets to oversold/overbought easily... the market will tend to test the support/resistance again.)
-This is tuned for the 15m interval, the script won't work beyond this. I use it for scalping futures. Feel free to change or remove this line 'plot(interval == 15 and '
-Even if it shows a signal, it may not be the true top/bottom. Sometimes there may be a weak diverged leg aka 'last fart', so that's one reason I dont use this for entry until more confirmation is given via other indicators.
** If your chart is zooming all the way down to 0, right click on the price at the right and select 'Scale price only'
Go ahead and try this out with willy, etc and see what works better :D

We Are Witnessing A Historical Event With A Clear Outcome!!!"Full Disclosure: I came across this information from www.SentimenTrader.com
I have no financial affiliation…They provide incredible statistical facts on
The General Market, Currencies, and Futures. They offer a two week free trial.
I Highly Recommend.
The S&P 500 has gone 43 trading days without a 1% daily move, up or down.
which is the equivalent of two months and one day in trading days.
During this stretch, the S&P has gained more than 4%,
and it has notched a 52-week high recently as well.
Since 1952, there were nine other precedents. All of
these went 42 trading days without a 1% move, all of
them saw the S&P gain at least 4% during their streaks,
and all of them saw the S&P close at a 52-week highs.
***There was consistent weakness a week later, with only three
gainers, and all below +0.5%.
***After that, stocks did better, often continuing an Extraordinary move higher.
Charts can sometimes give us a better nuance than
numbers from a table, and from the charts we can see a
general pattern -
***if stocks held up well in the following
weeks, then they tended to do extremely well in the
months ahead.
***If stocks started to stumble after this two-
month period of calm, however, then the following months
tended to show a lot more volatility.
We already know we're seeing an exceptional market
environment at the moment, going against a large number
of precedents that argued for weakness here, instead of
the rally we've seen. If we continue to head higher in
spite of everything, these precedents would suggest that
we're in the midst of something that could be TRULY EXTRAORDINARY.
Statistcal Daily Profile & Ranges# Statistical Daily Profile & Ranges - TradingView Publication Guide
## Overview
The **Statistical Daily Profile & Ranges** indicator is a comprehensive tool designed to analyze intraday session behavior and daily range characteristics. It combines Average Daily Range (ADR) projection levels with detailed session-by-session statistics and probability-based trading insights derived from historical price action patterns.
## What This Indicator Does
This indicator provides traders with three core analytical components:
1. **ADR Projection Levels** - Dynamic support/resistance levels based on historical daily ranges
2. **Session Range Analysis** - Visual boxes and statistical breakdowns for four key trading sessions
3. **Dynamic Probability Display** - Real-time probability statistics based on overnight session relationships
## How It Works
### Average Daily Range (ADR) Calculation
The indicator calculates the average daily range over a user-defined lookback period (default: 10 days) and projects this range from each day's opening price. This creates two key levels:
- **ADR High**: Opening price + average daily range
- **ADR Low**: Opening price - average daily range
- **ADR Median**: The opening price (middle of the projected range)
These levels are recalculated at the start of each trading day and extend forward, providing dynamic support and resistance zones based on recent volatility characteristics.
### Session Tracking & Statistics
The indicator monitors four distinct trading sessions (times in Eastern Time):
1. **Asia Session** (8:00 PM - 2:00 AM)
2. **London Session** (2:00 AM - 8:00 AM)
3. **NY Open** (8:00 AM - 9:00 AM)
4. **NY Initial Balance** (9:30 AM - 10:30 AM)
For each session, the indicator:
- Draws a colored box showing the session's high-to-low range
- Tracks the opening price, high, and low
- Stores historical data for statistical analysis
- Calculates average ranges by day of week (Monday through Friday)
The session statistics are displayed in a customizable table showing average point ranges for each session across different weekdays, helping traders identify which sessions and days typically produce the most movement.
### Dynamic Probability System
The indicator analyzes the relationship between the Asia and London sessions to determine the current market setup. After the London session closes, it automatically detects one of four possible conditions:
**1. London Engulfs Asia**
- London session breaks both above Asia's high AND below Asia's low
- This indicates strong momentum during the European session
- Most common occurrence pattern
**2. Asia Engulfs London**
- Asia session range completely contains the London session range
- Indicates consolidation during London hours
- Relatively rare pattern (occurs approximately 5.36% of the time)
**3. London Partially Engulfs Upwards**
- London breaks above Asia's high but stays above Asia's low
- Suggests bullish momentum continuation from Asia into London
**4. London Partially Engulfs Downwards**
- London breaks below Asia's low but stays below Asia's high
- Suggests bearish momentum continuation from Asia into London
Once a condition is detected, the indicator displays a probability table showing historically observed outcomes for that specific setup, including:
- Probability of NY session taking out key levels (Asia high/low, London high/low)
- Probability of NY session engulfing the entire overnight range
- Directional bias for NY Cash session (9:30 AM - 4:00 PM)
## How to Use This Indicator
### Initial Setup
1. Add the indicator to your chart (works on any intraday timeframe below Daily)
2. Adjust the **ADR Days** setting (default: 10) to control the lookback period for range calculation
3. Adjust the **Session Lookback Days** setting (default: 50) to determine how much historical data feeds the statistics tables
### Reading the ADR Levels
- Use the **ADR High** and **ADR Low** lines as potential profit targets or areas where price may encounter resistance
- The **ADR Median** line represents the opening price and can act as a pivot point for intraday directional bias
- If price reaches the ADR High early in the session, it suggests strong bullish momentum; conversely for ADR Low
- These levels adapt daily based on recent volatility, making them more responsive than static levels
### Interpreting Session Boxes
- **Session boxes** visually highlight when each trading session is active and its price range
- Larger boxes indicate higher volatility during that session
- Compare current session ranges to the statistical averages shown in the table
- Sessions that are unusually quiet or active relative to historical averages may signal compression or expansion
### Using the Session Statistics Table
- The table shows average point ranges for each session broken down by weekday
- Identify which sessions typically produce the most movement on specific days
- For example, if London on Thursdays averages 40 points while Mondays average 25 points, you can adjust position sizing or expectations accordingly
- The **Total** column shows the overall average across all days
- Sample sizes (shown in brackets if enabled) indicate data reliability
### Trading with the Probability Table
The probability table updates dynamically after the London session closes and shows statistically probable outcomes based on 12 years of NQ futures data.
**Important Limitations:**
- **These probabilities are derived from NQ (Nasdaq E-mini futures) data only**
- **Do NOT apply these probability statistics to other instruments** (ES, stocks, forex, etc.)
- The probabilities represent historical frequencies, not guarantees
- Always combine with your own analysis, risk management, and market context
**How to Apply the Probabilities:**
When **London Engulfs Asia**:
- Watch for NY session to take out London's extremes (72.33% probability for high, 71.12% for low)
- Slight bullish bias in NY Cash session (54.80% vs 45.20%)
- Lower probability of complete overnight engulfment (44.13%)
When **Asia Engulfs London** (rare - 5.36% occurrence):
- Higher probability NY takes Asia's high (75.86%)
- Moderately high probability NY takes Asia's low (65.52%)
- Slight increase in bullish bias (58.42% vs 41.58%)
- Recognize this as an unusual setup
When **London Partially Engulfs Upwards**:
- Very high probability NY takes London high (81.51%)
- Strong probability NY takes London low (64.45%)
- Moderate probability NY takes Asian low (53.16%)
- Slight bullish bias (55.52%)
When **London Partially Engulfs Downwards**:
- Very high probability NY takes London low (75.29%)
- Strong probability NY takes London high (68.80%)
- Moderate probability NY takes Asian high (56.44%)
- Slight bullish bias maintained (52.99%)
### Practical Trading Applications
**Scenario 1: Range Projection**
If the ADR is 500 points and the market opens at 25,000:
- ADR High: 25,500 (potential resistance/target)
- ADR Low: 24,500 (potential support/target)
- Monitor how price interacts with these levels throughout the day
**Scenario 2: Session-Based Trading**
Using the statistics table, you notice London on Wednesdays averages 35 points. During a Wednesday London session:
- If London has already moved 30 points, the session may be exhausting its typical range
- If London has only moved 15 points with an hour remaining, there may be expansion potential
- Adjust stop losses and targets based on typical session behavior
**Scenario 3: Probability-Based Setup**
It's 8:05 AM ET and the indicator shows "London Partially Engulfs Upwards":
- You now know there's an 81.51% historical probability NY will take out London's high
- There's a 53.16% probability NY will reach down to Asia's low
- The NY Cash session has a slight bullish bias (55.52%)
- Consider this alongside your technical analysis for directional bias and level targeting
## Customization Options

- **Label Colors**: Customize text colors for all labels
### Table Settings
- **Session Stats Table**: Position (9 locations available), size (Tiny to Huge), toggle on/off
- **Sample Sizes**: Show/hide the number of historical samples used for each calculation
- **Probabilities Table**: Separate position and size controls, toggle on/off
### Session Times
- Each session's time range can be customized to fit different markets or preferences
- All times are in Eastern Time (America/New_York timezone)
## Technical Notes
### Data Requirements
- The indicator requires sufficient historical data based on your lookback settings
- Minimum recommended: 50+ days of intraday data for reliable statistics
- Works on any timeframe below Daily (1-minute, 5-minute, 15-minute, etc.)
### Calculation Methodology
- **ADR Calculation**: Simple average of absolute daily high-low ranges
- **Session Statistics**: Mean average of ranges for each session filtered by day of week
- **Condition Detection**: Boolean logic comparing session high/low relationships
- All calculations update in real-time as new bars form
### Probability Data Source
The probability statistics displayed in the dynamic table are derived from:
- **Dataset**: 12 years of NQ (Nasdaq E-mini futures) historical data
- **Methodology**: Frequency analysis of outcomes following specific setup conditions
- **Time Period**: Multiple market cycles including various volatility regimes
**Critical Warning**: These probabilities are specific to NQ and reflect that instrument's behavior patterns. Market microstructure, participant behavior, and volatility characteristics differ significantly across instruments. Do not apply these NQ-derived probabilities to other markets (ES, RTY, YM, individual stocks, forex, commodities, etc.).
## Best Practices
1. **Combine with Other Analysis**: Use this indicator as one component of a complete trading methodology, not a standalone system
2. **Respect Risk Management**: Probabilities are not certainties; always use proper position sizing and stop losses
3. **Context Matters**: High-impact news events, holiday trading, and extreme volatility can invalidate typical patterns
4. **Verify Statistics**: Monitor your own results and compare to the displayed probabilities
5. **Adapt Session Times**: If trading instruments with different active hours, adjust session times accordingly
6. **Regular Calibration**: Periodically review if the session averages and probabilities remain relevant to current market conditions
## Understanding Originality
This indicator is original in its approach to combining three analytical frameworks into a single tool:
1. **Dynamic ADR Projection**: Unlike static pivot points, these levels adapt daily based on recent volatility
2. **Session-Specific Statistics**: Goes beyond simple volume profiles by quantifying average ranges for specific time windows across weekdays
3. **Conditional Probability Display**: Automatically detects overnight session relationships and displays relevant probability data rather than showing all scenarios simultaneously
The conditional logic system that determines which probability set to display is a key differentiator—traders only see the statistics relevant to the current market setup, reducing information overload and improving decision-making clarity.
## Summary
The **Statistical Daily Profile & Ranges** indicator provides traders with a comprehensive framework for understanding daily range potential, session-specific behavior patterns, and probability-based setup analysis. By combining ADR projection levels with detailed session statistics and dynamic probability displays, traders gain multiple perspectives on potential price movement within the trading day.
The indicator is most effective when used to:
- Set realistic profit targets based on average daily range
- Identify which sessions typically produce movement on specific weekdays
- Understand probability-weighted outcomes for different overnight setup conditions (NQ only)
- Visualize session ranges and compare them to historical averages
Remember that all statistical analysis reflects historical patterns, and market behavior can change. Always combine indicator signals with sound risk management, proper position sizing, and your own market analysis.
Liquidity Sweep Guardian (Universal % or point based)
Liquidity Sweep Guardian - Complete User Guide
## Overview
The **Liquidity Sweep Guardian** is a visual warning system designed to prevent premature counter-trend trades (fades) near Previous Day High (PDH) and Previous Day Low (PDL) levels. This indicator helps you avoid one of the most common trading mistakes: fading too early before liquidity sweeps complete.
---
## 🎯 Core Trading Principle
### **THE GOLDEN RULE: Don't Fade Until It's Unlocked**
Price often **accelerates into key levels** to sweep liquidity before reversing. Trading against this momentum is extremely dangerous.
**The Process:**
1. **Danger Zone** (Red/White Box) = ⚠️ **DO NOT FADE** - Sweep likely incoming
2. **Sweep Occurs** (Triangle marker appears) = Price penetrates the level
3. **Reclaim Happens** (Price returns above/below level) = Level is tested
4. **🔓 UNLOCKED** (Gold border, green label) = **NOW you may CONSIDER a fade**
> **Important:** "UNLOCKED" means you may now *consider* a fade setup. It is NOT a trade signal itself. You still need your entry confirmation, risk management, and trade plan.
---
## 📊 Visual Elements Explained
### 1. **Danger Zone Boxes (Red Border by Default)**
**Two types of zones around PDH/PDL:**
- **Outer Danger Zone** (White fill): ±75pts (or 0.30%) around the level
- Indicates proximity to a key level where sweeps commonly occur
- Yellow/cautious trading zone
- **Inner Critical Zone** (Black fill): ±25pts (or 0.10%) around the level
- Highest probability area for liquidity sweep traps
- Avoid fading here at all costs
**What to do:**
- When price enters these zones, **wait and watch**
- Do not initiate counter-trend positions
- Allow the sweep to play out
### 2. **Unlocked Zones (Gold Border #ffeb3b)**
When a zone turns **gold/yellow** with green fill:
- The level has been swept AND reclaimed
- The liquidity grab is complete
- You may now look for fade opportunities with proper confirmation
### 3. **PDH/PDL Lines**
- **PDH Line** (Red): Previous Day High with price label
- **PDL Line** (Green): Previous Day Low with price label
- These are your key reference levels for the session
### 4. **Sweep Labels**
**Triangle Markers (SWEEP):**
- **Green Triangle** = Clean sweep (10-25pts penetration)
- **Orange Triangle** = Extended sweep (25-50pts penetration)
- **Red Triangle** = Deep penetration (50+ pts) - likely continuation, not reversal
**Warning Labels:**
- **⚠️ DEEP CONTINUATION?** = Penetration too deep, probably NOT a reversal setup
**Unlock Labels:**
- **🔓 LONG UNLOCKED** = PDL swept and reclaimed, may consider long fades
- **🔓 SHORT UNLOCKED** = PDH swept and reclaimed, may consider short fades

- For higher timeframes: Use wider zones
- For lower timeframes: Use tighter zones
### **Sweep Classification**
**What defines a "real" sweep:**
- **Minimum**: 10pts / 0.04% - Shallow penetration may not grab enough liquidity
- **Optimal**: 10-25pts / 0.04-0.10% - "Goldilocks zone" for reversal setups
- **Extended**: 25-50pts / 0.10-0.20% - Deeper sweep, less reliable
- **Continuation**: 50+pts / 0.20%+ - Too deep, likely NOT reversing
**Max Bars for Reclaim**: 5 bars (default)
- Price should reclaim the level relatively quickly
- If it takes too long, the sweep may have failed

## 🎓 Trading Strategy Examples
### **Example 1: Long Setup at PDL**
1. **Morning**: Price approaches PDL (danger zone appears)
2. **Don't Fade Yet**: Price enters critical zone - resist urge to buy
3. **Sweep**: Price drops 15pts below PDL (green triangle appears)
4. **Reclaim**: Price closes back above PDL within 3 bars
5. **🔓 UNLOCKED**: Gold border + "LONG UNLOCKED" label appears
6. **Trade Setup**: Now look for bullish confirmation (order flow, structure, etc.)
### **Example 2: Avoiding a Trap at PDH**
1. **Afternoon**: Price rallies into PDH danger zone
2. **Temptation**: You want to short here (it "looks toppy")
3. **Sweep**: Price breaks 50pts above PDH (red triangle + ⚠️ warning)
4. **Continuation**: Deep penetration suggests continuation, not reversal
5. **Result**: No unlock occurs, price keeps running higher - trap avoided!
### **Example 3: Failed Unlock (No Trade)**
1. Price sweeps PDL by 12pts (green triangle)
2. Price struggles to reclaim PDL, stays below for 10+ bars
3. No "UNLOCKED" label appears
4. **Correct Action**: Do not fade - sweep failed to reclaim

## 💡 Pro Tips
1. **Use on Higher Timeframes**: Works best on 5min, 15min, 1hr charts
2. **Combine with Order Flow**: Use with footprint/delta for confirmation
3. **Watch Volume**: Strong volume on sweep = better reversal potential
4. **Consider Time of Day**: Sweeps during RTH often more reliable
5. **Multiple Timeframes**: Check if higher TF also shows unlock
6. **Don't Force Trades**: Not every session produces clean setups
7. **Journal Results**: Track which unlock types work best for you
8. **Respect Continuation Signals**: When indicator says "too deep," listen

## What This Indicator Does
The **Unmitigated MTF High Low v2.0** tracks unmitigated (untouch) high and low levels across multiple timeframes, helping you identify key support and resistance zones that the market hasn't revisited yet. Think of it as a sophisticated memory system for price action - it remembers where price has been, and more importantly, where it *hasn't been back to*.
### Why "Unmitigated" Matters
In futures trading, especially on instruments like NQ and ES, the market has a tendency to revisit levels where liquidity was left behind. An "unmitigated" level is one that hasn't been touched since it was formed. These levels often act as magnets for price, and understanding their age and proximity gives you a significant edge in:
- **Entry timing** - Waiting for price to approach tested levels
- **Exit planning** - Taking profits before ancient resistance/support
- **Risk management** - Avoiding entries when approaching multiple old levels
- **Liquidity mapping** - Visualizing where orders likely cluster
---
## Core Concepts
### 1. **Sessions & Age**
The indicator uses **New York trading sessions** (6:00 PM to 5:59 PM NY time) as the primary time measurement. This aligns with how futures markets naturally segment their activity.
**Age Categories:**
- 🟢 **New (0-1 sessions)** - Fresh levels, recently formed
- 🟡 **Medium (2-3 sessions)** - Tested by time, gaining significance
- 🔴 **Old (4-6 sessions)** - Highly significant, survived multiple days
- 🟣 **Ancient (7+ sessions)** - Extreme significance, major support/resistance
The longer a level remains unmitigated, the more significant it becomes. Think of it like compound interest - time adds weight to these zones.
### 2. **Multi-Timeframe Tracking**
You can set the indicator to track high/low levels from any timeframe (default is 15 minutes). This means you're watching for unmitigated 15-minute highs and lows while trading on, say, a 1-minute or 5-minute chart.
**Why this matters:**
- Higher timeframe levels have more weight
- You can see multiple timeframe structure simultaneously
- Helps you avoid fighting larger timeframe momentum
### 3. **Mitigation**
A level becomes "mitigated" (deactivated) when price touches it:
- **High levels** are mitigated when price reaches or exceeds them
- **Low levels** are mitigated when price reaches or goes below them
Once mitigated, the level disappears from view. The indicator only shows you the untouch levels that still matter.

## The Cave Diving Framework
This indicator is designed around the **Cave Diving Trading Framework** - a psychological and technical approach that maps cave diving safety protocols to futures trading risk management.
### 🤿 The Core Metaphor
**Cave diving has clear danger zones based on depth and overhead environment. Your trading should too.**
#### Shallow Water (New Levels, 0-1 Sessions)
- **Light**: Bright colors (bright red highs, bright green lows)
- **Psychology**: Fresh territory, recently tested
- **Trading**: Be aware but not overly concerned
- **Cave Diving Parallel**: You can see the surface, easy exit
#### Penetration Depth (Medium Levels, 2-3 Sessions)
- **Light**: Medium intensity colors
- **Psychology**: Building significance, market memory forming
- **Trading**: Start respecting these levels for entries/exits
- **Cave Diving Parallel**: Deeper in, need to track your line back
#### Deep Dive Zone (Old Levels, 4-6 Sessions)
- **Light**: Dark colors (deep maroon, dark blue)
- **Psychology**: Highly tested support/resistance
- **Trading**: Major decision points, plan accordingly
- **Cave Diving Parallel**: Significant overhead, careful navigation required
#### Overhead Environment (Ancient Levels, 7+ Sessions)
- **Light**: Very dark, purple/deep teal
- **Psychology**: Extreme caution required, major liquidity zones
- **Trading**: These are your "turn back" signals - don't fight ancient levels
- **Cave Diving Parallel**: Maximum danger, no room for error
### 🎯 The Proximity Alert System
Just like a cave diver's depth gauge that warns at critical thresholds, the proximity alerts (⚠️) tell you when you're entering a danger zone. When price gets within your configured threshold (default 5 points), the indicator:
- Highlights the level in **yellow** on the chart
- Shows **⚠️** in the table
- Signals: "You're entering a high-significance zone - adjust your position accordingly"
This prevents the trading equivalent of going deeper into a cave without checking your air supply.

## How to Use It for Trading
### 🎯 Entry Strategies
**1. The "Bounce Setup" (Mean Reversion)**
- Wait for price to approach an old or ancient unmitigated level
- Look for confluence: multiple levels nearby, bands narrowing
- Enter when price shows rejection (reversal candle patterns)
- **Example**: Price drops to a 6-session-old low, shows bullish engulfing → Long entry
**2. The "Break and Retest" (Trend Following)**
- Wait for price to break through an unmitigated level (mitigates it)
- Enter on the retest of the newly broken level
- **Example**: Price breaks above 4-session-old high → Wait for pullback to that level → Long entry
**3. The "Tunnel Trade" (Range Trading)**
- When bands are active, trade the range between 1st-2nd levels
- Short near upper band resistance, long near lower band support
- Exit at opposite side or when bands break
### 🚨 Risk Management Rules
**The Ancient Level Rule**
> Never fight ancient levels (7+ sessions). If you're long and approaching an ancient high, take profits. If you're short and approaching an ancient low, take profits.
These levels have survived a full trading week without being touched - there's likely significant liquidity and institutional interest there.
**The Proximity Exit Rule**
> When you see ⚠️ proximity alerts on multiple levels above/below your position, tighten stops or scale out.
This is your "overhead environment" warning. You're in dangerous territory.
**The New Level Filter**
> Be cautious taking positions based solely on new levels (0-1 sessions). Wait for them to age or combine with other confluence.
Fresh levels haven't been tested by time. They're like unconfirmed support/resistance.
### 📊 Reading Market Structure
**Bullish Structure (🟢 in status row)**
- Unmitigated lows are aging and holding
- Price respecting the lower band
- Old lows below acting as strong support
- **Bias**: Look for long entries at lower levels
**Bearish Structure (🔴 in status row)**
- Unmitigated highs are aging and holding
- Price respecting the upper band
- Old highs above acting as strong resistance
- **Bias**: Look for short entries at higher levels
**The Tunnel Compression**
- When the Δ (delta) in the status row is small, levels are tight
- This often precedes a breakout
- **Trading**: Wait for breakout direction, then trade the break
### 🔄 Strat Integration
The indicator shows Strat patterns in the status row:
- **1** - Inside bar (consolidation)
- **2U** - Broke high only (bullish)
- **2D** - Broke low only (bearish)
- **3** - Broke both (wide range, volatility)
Use these with the unmitigated levels:
- **2U near old high** → Potential resistance, watch for rejection
- **2D near old low** → Potential support, watch for bounce
- **3 pattern** → High volatility, respect wider stops

## Best Practices
### 🎯 Position Management
**1. Scaling In Near Old Levels**
```
Price approaching 5-session-old low:
- First position: 30% size at proximity alert (⚠️)
- Second position: 40% size at exact level
- Third position: 30% size if it shows strong rejection
```
**2. Scaling Out Near Ancient Levels**
```
Holding long position, approaching 8-session-old high:
- Exit 50% at proximity alert (⚠️)
- Exit 30% at exact level
- Trail stop on remaining 20%
```
### 🧠 Trading Psychology Integration
Drawing from principles in *The Mountain Is You*, this indicator helps you:
**1. Recognize Self-Sabotage Patterns**
- **The Premature Entry**: Entering before price reaches your planned level
- **Solution**: Set alerts at unmitigated levels, wait for proximity warnings
- **The Profit-Taking Problem**: Exiting too early from fear
- **Solution**: Identify the next unmitigated level and commit to holding until proximity alert
- **The Loss Holding**: Refusing to exit losing trades
- **Solution**: When price breaks through and mitigates your entry level, it's telling you the structure changed
**2. Building Better Habits**
The color-coded age system trains your brain to:
- Respect levels that have proven themselves over time
- Distinguish between noise (new levels) and structure (old levels)
- Make decisions based on objective data, not fear or greed
**3. Emotional Regulation**
The proximity alerts serve as:
- **Circuit breakers** - Forcing you to re-evaluate before dangerous zones
- **Permission to act** - Giving you objective signals to exit without second-guessing
- **Validation** - Confirming when you're in alignment with market structure
### 📝 Pre-Market Routine
**Daily Setup Checklist:**
1. ✅ Identify the 3 nearest unmitigated highs above current price
2. ✅ Identify the 3 nearest unmitigated lows below current price
3. ✅ Note which are ancient (7+) - these are your "no-go" zones
4. ✅ Check the tunnel width (Δ in status row) - tight or wide?
5. ✅ Set alerts at the 1st high and 1st low for proximity warnings
6. ✅ Plan: "If we go up, I exit at ___. If we go down, I enter at ___."
### 🔄 Timeframe Confluence
**Multi-Timeframe Strategy:**
Run the indicator on **three instances**:
- **15-minute** (short-term structure)
- **1-hour** (intermediate structure)
- **4-hour** (major structure)
**Strong Setup**: When all three timeframes show unmitigated levels converging at the same price zone.
**Example:**
- 15m: Old low at 21,400
- 1H: Ancient low at 21,398
- 4H: Ancient low at 21,395
- **Result**: 21,395-21,400 is a monster support zone
### ⚠️ What This Indicator Doesn't Do
**Not a Crystal Ball**
- It doesn't predict where price will go
- It shows you where price *hasn't been* and how long it's been avoided
- The trading decisions are still yours
**Not an Entry Signal Generator**
- It provides context and structure
- You need to combine it with your entry methodology (price action, indicators, order flow, etc.)
**Not Foolproof**
- Ancient levels get broken
- Proximity alerts can trigger early in strong trends
- The market doesn't "owe" you a reversal at any level
---
## Common Scenarios
### Scenario 1: "Level Cluster Ahead"
**Situation**: You're long at 21,400. The table shows:
- 1st High: 21,425 (2 sessions old)
- 2nd High: 21,428 (3 sessions old)
- 3rd High: 21,435 (6 sessions old)
**Interpretation**: There's a resistance cluster just 25-35 points away. The 6-session-old level is particularly significant.
**Action**:
- Set first profit target at 21,420 (before the cluster)
- Set second target at 21,426 (between 1st and 2nd)
- Trail remaining position, but be ready to exit on rejection at 21,435
**Cave Diving Analogy**: You're approaching an overhead section with limited clearance. Lighten your load (reduce position) before entering.
---
### Scenario 2: "Ancient Level Approaches"
**Situation**: The market is grinding higher. You see ⚠️ appear next to a 9-session-old high at 21,500.
**Interpretation**: This level has survived over a week without being touched. Massive potential liquidity zone.
**Action**:
- If long, this is your absolute exit zone. Take profits before or at level.
- If looking to short, wait for clear rejection (price taps and reverses)
- Don't try to buy the breakout until it clearly breaks and retests
**Cave Diving Analogy**: Your dive computer is beeping - you've reached your planned turn-back depth. No matter how interesting it looks ahead, honor your plan.
---
### Scenario 3: "Mitigated Levels Create New Structure"
**Situation**: Price breaks and mitigates the 1st High. The previous 2nd High becomes the new 1st High.
**Interpretation**: The structure just shifted. What was the 2nd level is now most relevant.
**Action**:
- Watch how price reacts to the newly-mitigated level
- If it holds below (acts as resistance), bearish
- If it reclaims and holds above (acts as support), bullish
- The NEW 1st High is your next target/resistance
**Cave Diving Analogy**: You've passed through a restriction - the cave layout ahead is different now. Update your mental map.
---
### Scenario 4: "Tight Tunnel, Upcoming Breakout"
**Situation**: The Δ in the status row shows 3.25 points (very tight). Bands are converging.
**Interpretation**: Price is consolidating between very close unmitigated levels. Breakout likely.
**Action**:
- Don't try to predict direction
- Set alerts above 1st High and below 1st Low
- When break occurs, trade the retest
- Expect volatility - use wider stops
**Cave Diving Analogy**: You're in a narrow passage. Movement will be sudden and directional once it starts.
---
### Scenario 5: "Imbalanced Structure"
**Situation**: The statistics row shows "📊 22↑ / 7↓"
**Interpretation**: There are many more unmitigated highs than lows. This suggests:
- Price has been declining (hitting lows, leaving highs behind)
- Potential bullish reversal zone (lots of overhead supply mitigated)
- Or continued bearish structure (resistance everywhere above)
**Action**:
- Look at the age of those 22 highs
- If mostly new (0-2 sessions): Just a recent downmove, not significant yet
- If many old/ancient: Strong overhead resistance, be cautious on longs
- Compare to price action: Is price respecting the remaining lows?
**Cave Diving Analogy**: You've swam deeper than your starting point - most of your markers are above you now. Are you planning the ascent or going deeper?
---
## Final Thoughts: The Philosophy
This indicator is built on a simple but powerful principle: **The market has memory, and that memory has weight.**
Every unmitigated level represents:
- Liquidity left behind
- Orders waiting to be filled
- Institutional interest potentially parked
- Psychological significance for participants
The longer a level remains unmitigated, the more "charged" it becomes. When price finally revisits it, something significant usually happens - either a strong reversal or a definitive break.
Your job as a trader isn't to predict which outcome will occur. Your job is to:
1. **Recognize** when you're approaching these charged zones
2. **Respect** them by adjusting position size and risk
3. **React** appropriately based on how price behaves at them
4. **Remember** that ancient levels (like ancient wisdom) deserve extra reverence
The Cave Diving Framework embedded in this indicator serves as a constant reminder: Trading, like cave diving, requires rigorous respect for environmental hazards, meticulous planning, and the discipline to turn back when your limits are reached.
**Every proximity alert is the market asking you**: *"Do you really want to go deeper?"*
Sometimes the answer is yes - when your setup, confluence, and risk management all align.
Often, the answer should be no - and that's the trader avoiding the accident that would have happened to the gambler.

*"You don't become your best self by denying your patterns. You become your best self by recognizing them, understanding them, and choosing differently." - Adapted from The Mountain Is You*
In trading: You don't become profitable by ignoring market structure. You become profitable by recognizing it, understanding it, and choosing your entries accordingly.
Effort-Result Divergence [Interakktive]The Effort-Result Divergence (ERD) measures whether volume effort is producing proportional price result. It quantifies the classic Wyckoff principle: when price moves easily, momentum is real; when price struggles despite heavy volume, absorption is occurring.
Think of ERD as "energy efficiency" for price movement — green means price is gliding, red means price is grinding.
█ WHAT IT DOES
• Measures volume EFFORT relative to average volume
• Measures price RESULT relative to ATR-normalized movement
• Computes ERD = Result minus Effort (each scaled 0-100)
• Flags statistical divergences via Z-score analysis
• Absorption events: high effort, low result (negative ERD)
• Vacuum events: low effort, high result (positive ERD)
█ WHAT IT DOES NOT DO
• NO buy/sell signals
• NO entry/exit recommendations
• NO alerts (v1 is educational only)
• NO performance claims or guarantees
This is a context tool for understanding market participation quality.
█ HOW IT WORKS
The ERD analyzes two dimensions of market activity and compares them.
EFFORT (Volume Intensity)
Compares current volume to a moving average baseline:
Effort Ratio = Volume ÷ SMA(Volume, Length)
Effort Score = clamp(100 × Effort Ratio ÷ Effort Cap)
High effort means above-average volume participation.
Low effort means below-average volume participation.
RESULT (Price Efficiency)
Measures how much price moved relative to expected volatility:
Result Ratio = |Close − Previous Close| ÷ ATR
Result Score = clamp(100 × Result Ratio ÷ Result Cap)
High result means price moved significantly for the volatility regime.
Low result means price barely moved despite market activity.
ERD SCORE
ERD = Result − Effort
• Positive ERD: Result exceeds effort → price moved easily (vacuum/thin liquidity)
• Negative ERD: Effort exceeds result → price struggled (absorption/accumulation)
• Near zero: Balanced effort-to-result relationship
STATISTICAL DIVERGENCE DETECTION
Z-score analysis identifies statistically significant extremes:
Z = (ERD − Mean) ÷ StdDev
• Absorption Event: Z ≤ −threshold (extreme negative ERD)
• Vacuum Event: Z ≥ +threshold (extreme positive ERD)
█ INTERPRETATION
GREEN BARS (Positive ERD)
Price moved with relatively little volume effort. This suggests:
• Thin liquidity / low resistance
• Strong directional interest
• Momentum is "real" — not forced
RED BARS (Negative ERD)
Heavy volume was used but price barely moved. This suggests:
• Absorption / accumulation occurring
• Large players opposing the move
• Inefficiency — someone is working hard for little result
THE KEY INSIGHT
When you see:
• Down moves = high effort (red spikes)
• Up moves = low effort (green bars)
This means: It's easier for price to go up than down.
That is asymmetric strength — classic bullish pressure.
The reverse (red on up moves, green on down moves) signals bearish pressure.
PRACTICAL RULES
Without any other indicators:
• Avoid shorting when ERD is mostly green and red spikes appear only on down candles
• Be cautious buying when ERD turns red on up candles (signals absorption of buying pressure)
• Vacuum events (extreme green) often precede continuation or pause — not violent reversal
• Absorption events (extreme red) often precede reversals or range formation
█ VOLUME DATA NOTE
This indicator uses the volume variable which represents:
• Exchange volume on stocks and futures
• Tick volume on Forex and CFD instruments
Tick volume is a proxy for activity, not actual exchange volume. The indicator remains useful on Forex as relative volume comparisons are still meaningful, but interpretation should account for this limitation.
█ INPUTS
Core Settings
• Volume Average Length: Baseline period for effort calculation (default: 20)
• ATR Length: Volatility normalization period (default: 14)
• Effort Cap: Volume ratio that maps to 100% effort (default: 3.0)
• Result Cap: ATR multiple that maps to 100% result (default: 1.0)
Divergence Detection
• Z-Score Lookback: Statistical analysis window (default: 100)
• Z-Score Threshold: Standard deviations for event flags (default: 2.0)
Visual Settings
• Show ERD Histogram: Toggle main display
• Show Zero Line: Toggle reference line
• Show Divergence Markers: Toggle event circles
• Show Effort/Result Lines: Display component breakdown
█ ORIGINALITY
While Wyckoff's effort-versus-result principle is well-established, existing implementations are typically:
• Purely visual with no quantification
• Pattern-based requiring subjective interpretation
• Not statistically normalized for comparison across instruments
ERD is original because it:
1. Normalizes both effort and result to 0-100 scales for direct comparison
2. Uses ATR for result normalization (adapts to volatility regime)
3. Applies statistical Z-score for objective divergence detection
4. Provides quantified output suitable for systematic analysis
█ DATA WINDOW EXPORTS
When enabled, the following values are exported:
• Effort (0-100)
• Result (0-100)
• ERD Score
• Z-Score
• Absorption Event (1/0)
• Vacuum Event (1/0)
█ SUITABLE MARKETS
Works on: Stocks, Futures, Forex, Crypto
Best on: Instruments with reliable volume data (stocks, futures, crypto)
Timeframes: All timeframes — interpretation adapts accordingly

FVG MTF Consensus OscillatorFVG MTF Consensus Oscillator
A multi-timeframe, multi-component oscillator that combines momentum, deviation, and slope analysis across multiple timeframes using Zeiierman's Chebyshev-filtered trend calculation. This indicator identifies potential turning points with zone-based signal classification and timeframe consensus filtering.
Backed by ML/Deep Learning evaluation on ES Futures data from 2015-2024.
🎯 Concept
Traditional oscillators suffer from two major weaknesses:
Single measurement - relying on one metric makes them susceptible to noise
Single timeframe - missing the bigger picture leads to fighting the trend
The FVG MTF Consensus Oscillator addresses both issues by combining three independent measurements across three timeframes into a weighted consensus signal.
The Three Components
Momentum - How fast is the trend moving?
Deviation - How far has price stretched from the trend?
Slope - What is the short-term directional bias?
The Three Timeframes
TF1 (Chart) - Your current chart timeframe (lowest weight)
TF2 (Medium) - Typically 1H or 4H (medium weight)
TF3 (High) - Typically 4H or Daily (highest weight)
By requiring agreement across multiple components AND multiple timeframes, the oscillator filters out noise while capturing meaningful, high-probability market movements.
🔧 How It Works
The Core: Chebyshev Type 1 Filter
At its heart, this indicator uses a Chebyshev Type 1 low-pass filter (inspired by Zeiierman's FVG Trend) to extract a clean trend line from price action. Unlike simple moving averages, the Chebyshev filter offers:
Sharper cutoff between trend and noise
Minimal lag for a given smoothness level
Controlled overshoot via the ripple parameter
Three Oscillator Components
1. Momentum Component
Momentum = Current Trend Value - Previous Trend Value
Measures the velocity of the trend. High positive values indicate strong upward acceleration, while high negative values show downward acceleration.
2. Deviation Component
Deviation = Close Price - Trend Value
Measures how far price has stretched away from the trend line. Useful for identifying overextended conditions and mean reversion opportunities.
3. Slope Component
Slope = Change in Trend over 3 bars
Captures the short-term directional bias of the trend itself, helping confirm trend changes.
Normalization & Component Consensus
Each component is individually normalized to a -100 to +100 scale using adaptive scaling. The oscillator output is a weighted average of all three components, allowing you to emphasize different aspects based on your trading style.
Multi-Timeframe Weighting
The final oscillator value combines all three timeframes using configurable weights:
Combined = (TF1 × Weight1 + TF2 × Weight2 + TF3 × Weight3) / Total Weight
Default weights (1, 2, 3) ensure higher timeframes have more influence, keeping you aligned with the dominant trend while timing entries on lower timeframes.
📊 Zone System
The oscillator uses a fuzzy zone system to classify market conditions:
ZoneRangeInterpretationSignal ColorNeutral-5 to +5No clear bias, avoid tradingGrayContinuation±5 to ±25Trend pullback, continuation setupsAquaDeep Swing±25 to ±50Extended move, stronger setupsGreenReversalBeyond ±50Extreme extension, reversal potentialOrange
When "Show Zone Background" is enabled, the background shading darkens as the oscillator moves into more extreme zones, providing instant visual feedback.
📈 Signal Interpretation
Turn Signals
The indicator plots triangular markers when the oscillator changes direction:
▲ Triangle Up (bottom): Oscillator turning up from a low
▼ Triangle Down (top): Oscillator turning down from a high
Signal Quality by Zone
Not all signals are equal. The signal color indicates which zone the turn occurred in:
ColorZoneProbabilityBest UseGrayNeutralLowAvoid or use very tight stopsAquaContinuationModerateTrend continuation entriesGreenDeep SwingHigherSwing trade entriesOrangeReversalHighestCounter-trend with caution
Timeframe Consensus Filter
Signals only fire when the required number of timeframes agree on direction. With default settings (TF Consensus = 2), at least 2 of 3 timeframes must be moving in the same direction for a signal to trigger.
This prevents:
Taking longs when higher timeframes are bearish
Taking shorts when higher timeframes are bullish
Whipsaws during timeframe disagreement
Trend Coloring
The combined oscillator line changes color based on trend direction:
Light purple (RGB 240, 174, 252): Majority of timeframes trending up
Dark purple (RGB 84, 19, 95): Majority of timeframes trending down

💡 Usage Examples
Example 1: Trend Continuation (Dip Buying)
Setup: Uptrend confirmed by higher timeframes
Check the info table - TF2 and TF3 should show green (rising)
Wait for TF1 to pull back, oscillator enters Continuation zone
Enter on Aqua ▲ signal (turn up with TF consensus)
Stop below recent swing low
Target: Previous high or next resistance
Why it works: You're buying a dip in an established uptrend with multi-timeframe confirmation.
Example 2: Deep Swing Entry
Setup: Extended move showing exhaustion
Oscillator reaches Deep Swing zone (±25 to ±50)
At least 2 TFs start showing the same direction
Enter on Green signal indicating momentum exhaustion
Use tighter stop as the move is already extended
Target: Return to Continuation zone or trend line
Why it works: Extended moves tend to mean-revert. The zone system identifies these opportunities.
Example 3: Reversal Setup (Advanced)
Setup: Extreme extension with diverging timeframes
Oscillator reaches Reversal zone (beyond ±50)
Watch for TF1 to turn while TF3 is still extended
Enter on Orange signal - this is counter-trend!
Use smaller position size and wider stops
Target: Return to Deep Swing or Continuation zone
Why it works: Extreme extensions eventually correct. The orange signal marks high-probability reversal points.
Example 4: Avoiding Bad Trades
What to avoid:
Gray signals in Neutral zone - No edge, random noise
Signals against TF3 direction - Fighting the dominant trend
Signals without TF consensus - Timeframe disagreement = choppy market
Multiple signals in quick succession - Let cooldown filter work
🔬 Multi-Timeframe Analysis Tips
Reading the Info Table
The info table shows real-time oscillator values:
| TF1 | TF2 | TF3 | CMB |
| 23.5 | 45.2 | 67.8 | 52.1 |
All green: Strong uptrend across all timeframes
All red: Strong downtrend across all timeframes
Mixed colors: Potential transition or consolidation
Timeframe Alignment States
TF1TF2TF3Interpretation↑↑↑Strong bull - look for long entries↓↓↓Strong bear - look for short entries↑↑↓Pullback in downtrend - caution on longs↓↓↑Pullback in uptrend - caution on shorts↑↓↑Choppy - reduce position size↓↑↓Choppy - reduce position size
The Power of Consensus
With TF Consensus = 2, signals only fire when 2+ timeframes agree. This single filter eliminates most whipsaws and keeps you aligned with the dominant trend.
For more conservative trading, set TF Consensus = 3 (all timeframes must agree).
⚠️ Important Notes
This indicator does not predict the future. It measures current market conditions and momentum across multiple timeframes.
Always use proper risk management. No indicator is 100% accurate.
Combine with price action. The oscillator works best when confirmed by support/resistance, candlestick patterns, or other confluence factors.
Respect the higher timeframe. When TF3 disagrees, trade smaller or sit out.
Zone signals are probabilistic. Orange (reversal) signals have higher probability but aren't guaranteed reversals.
Adjust settings per instrument. Default settings are optimized for ES Futures but may need tuning for other markets.
🧪 ML/Deep Learning Background
The default parameters and zone thresholds were evaluated using machine learning techniques on ES Futures data spanning 2015-2024. This included:
Optimization of component weights
Zone threshold calibration
Timeframe weight balancing
Signal filter tuning
While past performance doesn't guarantee future results, the parameters represent a data-driven starting point rather than arbitrary defaults.

Options Pivot Smile## Options Pivot Smile
**Options Pivot Smile** is a visual market-structure indicator that transforms classic daily pivot levels into a smooth, bell-shaped “smile curve.” It is designed to help traders understand price equilibrium, directional bias, and volatility expansion using historically anchored support and resistance zones.
The script is optimized for discretionary analysis, options structure mapping, and futures market context.
---
### Core Concept
This indicator calculates **previous-day Pivot, S1, S2, R1, and R2** levels and projects them backward across configurable historical widths. These anchor points are then connected using a **Catmull–Rom spline**, producing a smooth bell-shaped curve that represents market balance and skew.
The result is a **visual distribution of price pressure**, rather than static horizontal levels.
---
### Key Features
#### 1. Daily Pivot-Based Levels
* Uses **previous daily High, Low, Close**
* Calculates:
* Pivot (P)
* Support: S1, S2
* Resistance: R1, R2
* Optional **pivot shift** for futures or synthetic instruments
* Optional **spread rounding** for options strike alignment
---
#### 2. Historical Anchor Projection
Each level is placed at a different historical distance:
* **R2 / S2** → farthest back
* **R1 / S1** → medium range
* **Pivot** → nearest anchor
This spacing creates the structural foundation for the bell curve.
---
#### 3. Smile / Bell Curve Visualization
* Smooth curve generated using **Catmull–Rom spline interpolation**
* Adjustable smoothness (number of curve segments)
* Customizable color and line width
* Represents equilibrium, skew, and volatility structure
---
#### 4. Structural Aids
Optional visual components include:
* Horizontal projection lines to the current bar
* Dotted straight connecting lines between anchor points
* Anchor dots at each pivot level
* Adaptive-width level boxes scaled by ATR
---
#### 5. Professional Styling Controls
* Line style: Solid / Dotted / Dashed
* Adjustable strike line width
* Independent colors for:
* S2, S1
* Pivot
* R1, R2
* Box opacity, borders, and label text colors
---
### Use Cases
* Market balance and mean-reversion analysis
* Options strike clustering and distribution framing
* Futures pivot bias visualization
* Contextual support/resistance mapping
* Intraday and swing structure reference
---
### Notes & Limitations
* This is a **visual analytical tool**, not a trading strategy
* Does not generate buy/sell signals
* Best used in conjunction with price action, volume, or volatility tools
* Requires sufficient historical bars to render the full structure
---
### Recommended Timeframes
* Intraday (5m–30m) for structure context
* H1–H4 for swing equilibrium
* Works on all symbols with daily data availability
---
**Options Pivot Smile** converts traditional pivot math into an intuitive visual distribution, helping traders see market structure as a curve rather than isolated lines.
Buy-Dip / Sell-Pullback Buy the Dip / Sell the Pullback – Trend-Following Strategy (EOD → Next Day Execution)
Overview
This is a trend-following futures strategy designed to participate in pullbacks within established trends, not to predict reversals.
It works on End-of-Day (EOD) confirmation and executes trades on the next trading session, making it suitable for positional and swing traders.
The strategy combines momentum, trend direction, volatility, and price location to filter for high-quality setups while avoiding overtrading.
🔍 Core Philosophy
Trade only in the direction of the prevailing trend
Buy dips in uptrends
Sell pullbacks in downtrends
Avoid chasing price after extended gaps
Use volatility-adjusted risk management (ATR-based SL & targets)
📊 Indicators Used
RSI (20)
Measures underlying momentum strength
Stochastic Oscillator (55, 34, 21)
Confirms pullback exhaustion within a trend
Supertrend (10, 2)
Defines primary trend direction
Bollinger Bands (20, 2)
Provides structural trend bias
ATR (5)
Used for:
Entry gap filter
Stop-loss
Profit target
Supertrend buffer
✅ Long (Buy) Setup – Evaluated at EOD
A long setup is generated when all of the following conditions are satisfied at the close of the trading day:
RSI(20) is above the bullish threshold (default: 48)
Stochastic %K is above %D (confirming pullback momentum)
Supertrend direction is bullish
Price is near or above Supertrend, allowing a volatility-adjusted buffer (ATR-based)
Price is above the Bollinger Band middle line
This combination ensures:
The market is trending up
Momentum supports continuation
The pullback is controlled, not a breakdown
❌ Short (Sell) Setup – Evaluated at EOD
A short setup is generated when:
RSI(20) is below the bearish threshold (default: 52)
Stochastic %K is below %D
Supertrend direction is bearish
Price is near or below Supertrend, with an ATR buffer
Price is below the Bollinger Band middle line
This filters for pullbacks within sustained downtrends.
⏰ Trade Execution Logic (Next Day Rule)
Once a setup is confirmed at EOD, a trade is attempted on the next trading session
To avoid chasing gaps:
Long trades are allowed only if price does not move more than a defined multiple of the previous day’s True Range
Short trades follow the same logic in reverse
This is implemented via limit orders, ensuring realistic backtesting and execution behavior
🛑 Risk Management
All exits are volatility-adjusted using ATR:
Stop-Loss:
1.1 × ATR(5) from entry price
Target:
2.2 × ATR(5) from entry price
This results in a risk–reward ratio of approximately 1:2
ATR is frozen at entry to avoid forward-looking bias.
🧠 Why This Strategy Works
Avoids low-quality trades during consolidation
Participates only when trend + momentum align
Prevents emotional gap-chasing
Adapts automatically to changing volatility
Suitable for index futures and liquid stocks
📌 Recommended Usage
Timeframe: Daily
Instruments:
Index Futures (e.g. NIFTY, BANKNIFTY)
Highly liquid stocks
Market Type: Trending markets
Not ideal for: Sideways or low-volatility environments
⚙️ Customization Tips
You can control trade frequency and aggressiveness by adjusting:
RSI thresholds
Supertrend buffer (ATR multiple)
Gap filter multiplier
Stochastic edge parameter
Looser settings → more trades
Stricter settings → higher selectivity

AMT Structure: 80% Traverse, PD Levels & nPOCsHere is a clean, professional description formatted for the TradingView description box. It highlights the methodology (AMT/80% Rule), the specific features, and the credits.
Title: AMT Structure: 80% Traverse, PD Levels & nPOCs
Description:
This indicator is a comprehensive toolkit designed for futures traders utilizing Auction Market Theory (AMT) and Volume Profile strategies. It consolidates multiple scripts into a single, unified overlay to declutter your chart while providing essential structural references for the 80% Traverse setup, intraday context, and longer-term auction targets.
Key Features:
1. 80% Rule / Traverse Setup (Chart Champions Logic)
Automated RTH Open Detection: Hardcoded to the 08:30 AM CT Open to ensure accuracy for US Futures (ES/NQ) regardless of your chart's timezone settings.
Value Area Logic: Automatically calculates the Previous Day's Value Area High (VAH), Value Area Low (VAL), and Point of Control (POC).
Setup Detection: If the market opens outside of the previous day's value, the script highlights the Value Area in color (default: Purple), signaling that an 80% traverse (filling the value area) is structurally possible if price re-enters value.
Background Fill: Optional shading between VAH and VAL to clearly visualize the "playing field" for the traverse.
2. Auction Market Theory (AMT) Premarket Levels
Overnight High/Low: Automatically captures the highest and lowest prices traded during the overnight session (17:00 - 08:30 CT).
Breakout Alerts: Includes logic to detect and alert when these overnight levels are broken during the RTH session.
Auto-Cleanup: Lines can be set to auto-delete after a specified time (default: 60 mins into the session) to keep the chart clean after the Initial Balance (IB) period.
3. Structural Reference Levels
Previous Day Levels: Plots Previous Day High, Low, and Equilibrium (Midpoint) as standard reference lines.
Initial Balance (IB): Option to display the First Hour High and Low (08:30 - 09:30 CT) to assess day type (Neutral, Trend, Normal Variation, etc.).
RTH VWAP: An anchored VWAP that resets specifically at the RTH Open (08:30 CT), distinct from the standard 24-hour VWAP.
4. Naked Points of Control (nPOCs)
Multi-Timeframe Tracking: Tracks and plots Naked POCs for Daily, Weekly, and Monthly profiles.
Auto-Cleanup: Lines automatically delete themselves the moment price touches them, ensuring you only see untested levels.
Customization: Toggle each timeframe on/off individually.
Settings & Customization:
Global Offset: Move all text labels to the right with a single setting to prevent price action from obscuring text.
8:30 Open Offset: Independent offset for the Open label to distinguish it from other opening references.
Smart Coloring: Text labels automatically match their corresponding line colors for easy identification.
Modular Toggles: Every section (AMT, VWAP, PD Levels, CCV, nPOCs) can be turned on or off individually to suit your specific trading plan.
Usage: This tool is specifically tuned for ES and NQ futures trading but can be adapted for other instruments. It replaces the need for separate indicators for Overnight Highs/Lows, Previous Day Levels, and Volume Profile targeting.
Open Interest Z-Score [BackQuant]Open Interest Z-Score
A standardized pressure gauge for futures positioning that turns multi venue open interest into a Z score, so you can see how extreme current positioning is relative to its own history and where leverage is stretched, decompressing, or quietly re loading.
What this is
This indicator builds a single synthetic open interest series by aggregating futures OI across major derivatives venues, then standardises that aggregated OI into a rolling Z score. Instead of looking at raw OI or a simple change, you get a normalized signal that says "how many standard deviations away from normal is positioning right now", with optional smoothing, reference bands, and divergence detection against price.
You can render the Z score in several plotting modes:
Line for a clean, classic oscillator.
Colored line that encodes both sign and momentum of OI Z.
Oscillator histogram that makes impulses and compressions obvious.
The script also includes:
Aggregated open interest across Binance, Bybit, OKX, Bitget, Kraken, HTX, and Deribit, using multiple contract suffixes where applicable.
Choice of OI units, either coin based or converted to USD notional.
Standard deviation reference lines and adaptive extreme bands.
A flexible smoothing layer with multiple moving average types.
Automatic detection of regular and hidden divergences between price and OI Z.
Alerts for zero line and ±2 sigma crosses.
Aggregated open interest source
At the core is the same multi venue OI aggregation engine as in the OI RSI tool, adapted from NoveltyTrade's work and extended for this use case. The indicator:
Anchors on the current chart symbol and its base currency.
Loops over a set of exchanges, gated by user toggles:
Binance.
Bybit.
OKX.
Bitget.
Kraken.
HTX.
Deribit.
For each exchange, loops over several contract suffixes such as USDT.P, USD.P, USDC.P, USD.PM to cover the common perp and margin styles.
Requests OI candles for each exchange plus suffix pair into a small custom OI type that carries open, high, low and close of open interest.
Converts each OI stream into a common unit via the sw method:
In COIN mode, OI is normalized relative to the coin.
In USD mode, OI is scaled by price to approximate notional.
Exchange specific scaling factors are applied where needed to match contract multipliers.
Accumulates all valid OI candles into a single combined OI "candle" by summing open, high, low and close across venues.
The result is oiClose , a synthetic close for aggregated OI that represents cross venue positioning. If there is no valid OI data for the symbol after this process, the script throws a clear runtime error so you know the market is unsupported rather than quietly plotting nonsense.
How the Z score is computed
Once the aggregated OI close is available, the indicator computes a rolling Z score over a configurable lookback:
Define subject as the aggregated OI close.
Compute a rolling mean of this subject with EMA over Z Score Lookback Period .
Compute a rolling standard deviation over the same length.
Subtract the mean from the current OI and divide by the standard deviation.
This gives a raw Z score:
oi_z_raw = (subject − mean) ÷ stdDev .
Instead of plotting this raw value directly, the script passes it through a smoothing layer:
You pick a Smoothing Type and Smoothing Period .
Choices include SMA, HMA, EMA, WMA, DEMA, RMA, linear regression, ALMA, TEMA, and T3.
The helper ma function applies the chosen smoother to the raw Z score.
The result is oi_z , a smoothed Z score of aggregated open interest. A separate EMA with EMA Period is then applied on oi_z to create a signal line ma that can be used for crossovers and trend reads.
Plotting modes
The Plotting Type input controls how this Z score is rendered:
1) Line
In line mode:
The smoothed OI Z score is plotted as a single line using Base Line Color .
The EMA overlay is optionally plotted if Show EMA is enabled.
This is the cleanest view when you want to treat OI Z like a standard oscillator, watching for zero line crosses, swings, and divergences.
2) Colored Line
Colored line mode adds conditional color logic to the Z score:
If the Z score is above zero and rising, it is bright green, representing positive and strengthening positioning pressure.
If the Z score is above zero and falling, it shifts to a cooler cyan, representing positive but weakening pressure.
If the Z score is below zero and falling, it is bright red, representing negative and strengthening pressure (growing net de risking or shorting).
If the Z score is below zero and rising, it is dark red, representing negative but recovering pressure.
This mapping makes it easy to see not only whether OI is above or below its historical mean, but also whether that deviation is intensifying or fading.
3) Oscillator
Oscillator mode turns the Z score into a histogram:
The smoothed Z score is plotted as vertical columns around zero.
Column colors use the same conditional palette as colored line mode, based on sign and change direction.
The histogram base is zero, so bars extend up into positive Z and down into negative Z.
Oscillator mode is useful when you care about impulses in positioning, for example sharp jumps into positive Z that coincide with fast builds in leverage, or deep spikes into negative Z that show aggressive flushes.
4) None
If you only want reference lines, extreme bands, divergences, or alerts without the base oscillator, you can set plotting to None and keep the rest of the tooling active.
The EMA overlay respects plotting mode and only appears when a visible Z score line or histogram is present.
Reference lines and standard deviation levels
The Select Reference Lines input offers two styles:
Standard Deviation Levels
Plots small markers at zero.
Draws thin horizontal lines at +1, +2, −1 and −2 Z.
Acts like a classic Z score ladder, zero as mean, ±1 as normal band, ±2 as outer band.
This mode is ideal if you want a textbook statistical framing, using ±1 and ±2 sigma as standard levels for "normal" versus "extended" positioning.
Extreme Bands
Extreme bands build on the same ±1 and ±2 lines, then add:
Upper outer band between +3 and +4 Z.
Lower outer band between −3 and −4 Z.
Dynamic fill colors inside these bands:
If the Z score is positive, the upper band fill turns red with an alpha that scales with the magnitude of |Z|, capped at a chosen max strength. Stronger deviations towards +4 produce more opaque red fills.
If the Z score is negative, the lower band fill turns green with the same adaptive alpha logic, highlighting deep negative deviations.
Opposite side bands remain a faint neutral white when not in use, so they still provide structural context without shouting.
This creates a visual "danger zone" for position crowding. When the Z score enters these outer bands, open interest is many standard deviations away from its mean and you are dealing with rare but highly loaded positioning states.
Z score as a positioning pressure gauge
Because this is a Z score of aggregated open interest, it measures how unusual current positioning is relative to its own recent history, not just whether OI is rising or falling:
Z near zero means total OI is roughly in line with normal conditions for your lookback window.
Positive Z means OI is above its recent mean. The further above zero, the more "crowded" or extended positioning is.
Negative Z means OI is below its recent mean. Deep negatives often mark post flush environments where leverage has been cleared and the market is under positioned.
The smoothing options help control how much noise you want in the signal:
Short Z score lookback and short smoothing will react quickly, suited for short term traders watching intraday positioning shocks.
Longer Z score lookback with smoother MA types (EMA, RMA, T3) give a slower, more structural view of where the crowd sits over days to weeks.
Divergences between price and OI Z
The indicator includes automatic divergence detection on the Z score versus price, using pivot highs and lows:
You configure Pivot Lookback Left and Pivot Lookback Right to control swing sensitivity.
Pivots are detected on the OI Z series.
For each eligible pivot, the script compares OI Z and price at the last two pivots.
It looks for four patterns:
Regular Bullish – price makes a lower low, OI Z makes a higher low. This can indicate selling exhaustion in positioning even as price washes out. These are marked with a line and a label "ℝ" below the oscillator, in the bullish color.
Hidden Bullish – price makes a higher low, OI Z makes a lower low. This suggests continuation potential where price holds up while positioning resets. Marked with "ℍ" in the bullish color.
Regular Bearish – price makes a higher high, OI Z makes a lower high. This is a classic warning sign of trend exhaustion, where price pushes higher while OI Z fails to confirm. Marked with "ℝ" in the bearish color.
Hidden Bearish – price makes a lower high, OI Z makes a higher high. This is often seen in pullbacks within downtrends, where price retraces but positioning stretches again in the direction of the prevailing move. Marked with "ℍ" in the bearish color.
Each divergence type can be toggled globally via Show Detected Divergences . Internally, the script restricts how far back it will connect pivots, so you do not get stray signals linking very old structures to current bars.
Trading applications
Crowding and squeeze risk
Z scores are a natural way to talk about crowding:
High positive Z in aggregated OI means the market is running high leverage compared to its own norm. If price is also extended, the risk of a squeeze or sharp unwind rises.
Deep negative Z means leverage has been cleaned out. While it can be painful to sit through, this environment often sets up cleaner new trends, since there is less one sided positioning to unwind.
The extreme bands at ±3 to ±4 highlight the rare states where crowding is most intense. You can treat these events as regime markers rather than day to day noise.
Trend confirmation and fade selection
Combine Z score with price and trend:
Bull trends with positive and rising Z are supported by fresh leverage, usually more persistent.
Bull trends with flat or falling Z while price keeps grinding up can be more fragile. Divergences and extreme bands can help identify which edges you do not want to fade and which you might.
In downtrends, deep negative Z that stays pinned can mean persistent de risking. Once the Z score starts to mean revert back toward zero, it can mark the early stages of stabilization.
Event and liquidation context
Around major events, you often see:
Rapid spikes in Z as traders rush to position.
Reversal and overshoot as liquidations and forced de risking clear the book.
A move from positive extremes through zero into negative extremes as the market transitions from crowded to under exposed.
The Z score makes that path obvious, especially in oscillator mode, where you see a block of high positive bars before the crash, then a slab of deep negative bars after the flush.

Notes
This indicator does not rely on price based oscillators. It is a statistical lens on cross venue open interest, which makes it a complementary tool rather than a replacement for your existing price or volume signals. Use it to:
Quantify how unusual current futures positioning is compared to recent history.
Identify crowded leverage phases that can fuel squeezes.
Spot structural divergences between price and positioning.
Frame risk and opportunity around events and regime shifts.
It is not a complete trading system. Combine it with your own entries, exits and risk rules to get the most out of what the Z score is telling you about positioning pressure under the hood of the market.

Risk On/Risk Off by Gary# Risk On/Risk Off Indicator (RORO)
## Overview
The Risk On/Risk Off (RORO) Indicator is a comprehensive market sentiment gauge that measures the balance between risk-seeking and risk-averse behavior across multiple asset classes. This indicator helps traders identify shifts in market sentiment and potential trend changes.
## How It Works
The RORO indicator aggregates normalized price movements (Z-scores) from eight major asset classes:
**Risk-On Assets (Bullish Sentiment):**
- Bitcoin Futures (BTC1!) - Cryptocurrency risk appetite
- WTI Crude Oil Futures (CL1!) - Energy sector strength
- AUD/JPY Exchange Rate - Carry trade indicator
- Emerging Markets ETF (EEM) - Global growth proxy
**Risk-Off Assets (Defensive Sentiment):**
- Gold Futures (GC1!) - Safe haven demand
- 10-Year Treasury Bonds (ZN1!) - Flight to quality
- US Dollar Index (DXY) - Reserve currency strength
- VIX Index - Market fear gauge (inverted)
## Key Features
- **Z-Score Normalization**: Standardizes different asset classes for fair comparison
- **Customizable Weights**: Adjust the influence of each asset class
- **Dynamic Coloring**: Green indicates rising risk appetite, red shows declining risk appetite
## Interpretation
- **Rising RORO (Green)**: Increasing risk appetite - favorable for equities, commodities, and growth assets
- **Falling RORO (Red)**: Decreasing risk appetite - rotation into safe havens
- **Divergences**: When RORO and price move in opposite directions, potential reversal signal
## Use Cases
1. **Market Regime Identification**: Determine current risk environment
2. **Divergence Trading**: Spot when price action contradicts underlying sentiment
3. **Portfolio Management**: Time defensive vs. aggressive positioning
4. **Confirmation Tool**: Validate breakouts and trend changes
## Settings
- **Lookback Period**: Controls Z-score calculation sensitivity (default: 50)
- **Asset Weights**: Fine-tune the contribution of each asset class
- **Color Scheme**: Customize rising/falling colors
## Best Practices
- Use on daily or higher timeframes for most reliable signals
- Combine with price action and volume analysis

CME Bitcoin Weekend Gap (Global) @jerikooDescription:
The Problem: You are watching the wrong hours. Many traders assume CME Bitcoin futures follow standard stock market hours or open Monday morning. This is incorrect.
Stock Market: Opens Monday morning.
CME Bitcoin: Opens Sunday Evening (US Time).
If you are in Europe, this means the market actually opens at Midnight (00:00) Monday. If you are waiting for the "Monday Morning Open," you are late.
The Solution: True Gap Detection This indicator highlights the exact downtime of the CME Bitcoin Futures market to help you identify true liquidity gaps.
Why this script is different: Most gap scripts break when you change your chart's time zone (e.g., switching from UTC to New York). This script is Universal.
Hardcoded Exchange Time: It calculates logic based on "America/Chicago" (CME HQ) time, regardless of your local chart settings.
Manual Offset Fix: Some data feeds have a +/- 1 or 2-hour sync difference depending on the broker. This script includes a "Hour Shift" setting to manually align the box perfectly to your specific candles.
How to use:
Add to your chart.
Look for the Dark Green highlighted zone.
This zone represents the Weekend Gap (Friday Close to Sunday Open).
Troubleshooting: If the box starts 1-2 hours too early or too late, go to Settings and change the "Hour Shift" value (e.g., -1, +1) until it snaps perfectly to the Friday close candle.
Technical Details:
CME Close: Friday 16:00 CT
CME Open: Sunday 17:00 CT
Color: Dark Green (50% Transparency)

Step 4: Final Checklist Before Clicking "Publish"
Load the Code: Make sure the "Manual Fix" version of the code (the last one I gave you) is currently open in the Pine Editor.
Add to Chart: You must click "Add to Chart" so the script is visible on your screen before publishing.
Privacy: Select Public (so others can search for it) or Private (if you only want to share the link).
Visibility: Choose Open (so others can see the code) or Protected (if you want to hide the code, though Open is better for simple scripts like this).
Volume Climax Reversal (VCR) — Catch Exhaustion Tops & BottomsNew! VCR spots exhaustion spikes at highs/lows using volume extremes + price action + VWAP context.
If you trade parabolic runners, indices, or mean-reversion edges, VCR helps you time the backside (shorts) and fade capitulation (longs) with clean, rule-based signals.
What it does
Detects volume climax: current volume > SMA(len) × multiplier and a new volume high in the lookback.
Confirms price context: makes a higher high (for tops) or lower low (for bottoms).
Filters with VWAP (optional): bearish signals only below VWAP, bullish signals only above VWAP.
Optional wick filter: requires an exhaustion wick > body to reduce chop.
Why traders like it
Clear entries: “VCR↓” (bearish) at exhaustion tops, “VCR↑” (bullish) at washout lows.
Fewer false signals: VWAP gating + wick filter focus on true climaxes.
Built-in alerts: set once, get notified on your phone/desktop when a setup appears.
How I trade it (simple playbook)
Bearish reversal (short / puts)
Wait for VCR↓ (exhaustion at/near HH).
Look for a lower high that fails to reclaim the signal candle high.
Enter on the break of that lower-high candle low.
Stop above the signal wick high.
Covers/targets: VWAP first; then 20–30% fade from the local top / prior demand.
Bullish reversal (long / calls)
Wait for VCR↑ (capitulation at/near LL).
Look for a higher low that holds above the signal candle low.
Enter on the break of the HL candle high.
Stop below the signal wick low.
Targets: VWAP first; then prior supply/MA bands.
Tip for small-cap/“Dux” style: VCR pairs perfectly with a gap + high USD-rotation scan. Let them blow off, then use VCR for the timing.
Inputs (tune to your market)
Volume SMA Length (default 20)
Volume Spike Multiplier (default 2.0)
Lookback High / Low (default 10 / 10)
Require VWAP confirmation? (on)
Use wick filter? (on)
Works on stocks, indices, futures, crypto.
Timeframes: 1–15m for day trading; 1h–4h–D for swing.
Alerts
Set one (or both) alerts and forget it:
Bearish Volume Climax — VCR↓
Bullish Volume Climax — VCR↑
You’ll get instant notifications when a qualified top/bottom prints.
Best practices
Don’t countertrend the first front-side ramp—wait for the VCR and a lower-high/higher-low.
Respect VWAP: it’s your first profit-taking and a bias filter.
Size small into volatility; widen stops in fast markets.
Combine with your watchlist filters (gap %, float/O/S, USD rotation, session timing).
What’s included
Clean visual signals (triangles + subtle background shading)
Session-anchored VWAP
Alert conditions that appear in TradingView’s alert menu
Sensible defaults + clear docs (this post)
FAQ
Q: Does it repaint?
No. VCR uses completed-bar data; signals print end-of-bar.
Q: Which markets?
Anything with volume: US equities, futures, crypto, indices.
Q: Can I use it for scalps?
Yes—1–5m with wick filter on and VWAP required works well.

DD RatioThe DD Ratio (“Directional Distribution Ratio”) is a breadth indicator that shows, in real time, how many of the selected stocks (e.g., S&P 500 components) are bullish vs. bearish relative to today’s open.
The DD Ratio tells you what’s really happening under the hood of the index:
Futures may mislead: An index future (like ES or NQ) can rise on a few heavy-weighted stocks even while most components fall.
The DD Ratio exposes that divergence.
Breadth confirmation: When the futures are up and DD Ratio ≥ 0.5 → healthy rally.
When futures are up but DD Ratio < 0.5 → weak, narrow advance.
Intraday sentiment gauge: It updates live with each bar, reflecting “who’s winning” since the open.
Bitcoin CME gaps multi-timeframe auto finder1. Overview
The Bitcoin CME Gap Multi-Timeframe Detector automatically identifies price gaps in the Bitcoin CME (Chicago Mercantile Exchange) futures market and visually displays them on the TradingView chart.
Because the CME futures market closes for about an hour after each weekday session and remains closed over the weekend, price gaps frequently appear when trading resumes on Monday.
This indicator analyzes gaps across six major timeframes, from 5-minute to 1-day charts, allowing traders to easily identify structural imbalances and potential support/resistance zones.
It is the most accurate and feature-rich CME gaps indicator available on TradingView.
2. Key Features
■ Multi-Timeframe Gap Detection
Analyzes 5m, 15m, 30m, 1h, 4h, and 1D charts simultaneously.
This enables traders to observe both short-term volatility and mid-to-long-term structure, providing a multi-dimensional view of market dynamics.
■ Gap Direction Classification
Up Gap: When the next candle’s open is higher than the previous candle’s high (default color: green tone)
Down Gap: When the next candle’s open is lower than the previous candle’s low (default color: red tone)
Gaps are color-coded to intuitively visualize potential support and resistance zones.
■ Highlight Function
Gaps exceeding a user-defined threshold (%) are highlighted (default color: yellow).
This helps quickly identify zones with abnormal volatility or sharp price dislocations.
■ Labels and Box Extension
Each gap displays a percentage label indicating its relative size and significance.
Gap zones are extended to the right as boxes, allowing traders to visually track when and how the gap gets filled over time.
■ Alert System
When a gap forms on the selected timeframe (or across all timeframes), a TradingView alert is triggered.
This enables real-time response to significant gap events.
3. Trading Strategies
■ Gap Fill Behavior
CME gaps statistically tend to get filled over time.
Gap boxes help distinguish between filled and unfilled gaps at a glance.
Up Gap: Price tends to decline to fill the previous high–next open zone.
Down Gap: Price often rises later to fill the previous low–next open zone.
■ Support & Resistance Levels
Gap zones frequently act as strong support or resistance.
When price retests a gap area, observing the reaction of buyers and sellers can provide valuable trading insights.
Overlapping gap boxes across multiple timeframes indicate high-confidence support/resistance zones.
■ Market Sentiment & Volatility Analysis
Large gaps usually result from shifts in market sentiment or major news events.
This indicator allows traders to detect volatility spikes early and prepare for potential trend reversals.
■ Combination with Other Technical Tools
While fully functional on its own, this indicator works even better when combined with tools like moving averages (MA), RSI, MACD, or Fibonacci retracements.
For example, if the bottom of a gap coincides with the 0.618 Fibonacci level, it may signal a strong rebound zone.
4. Settings Options
Minimum Gap % | Sets the minimum percentage movement required to detect a gap (lower values show smaller gaps)
Display Timeframes | Choose which timeframes to display (5m, 15m, 30m, 1h, 4h, 1D)
Box Colors | Assign colors for up and down gaps
Box Extension (Bars) | Number of bars to extend gap boxes to the right
Show Labels | Toggle display of gap percentage labels
Label Position / Size | Adjust label position and size
Highlight Gap ≥ % | Highlight gaps exceeding a specified percentage
Highlight Colors | Set highlight color for labels and boxes
Enable Alerts | Enable or disable alerts
Alert Timeframe | Select timeframe(s) for alerts (“All” = all timeframes)
5. Summary
This indicator is a professional trading tool that provides quantitative and visual analysis of price gaps in the Bitcoin CME futures market.
By combining multi-timeframe detection, highlighting, and alert systems, it helps traders clearly identify zones of market imbalance and potential reversal areas.
Relative Valuation OscillatorThis is a Relative Valuation Oscillator (RVO) this is attempt of replication OTC Valuation - a sophisticated multi-asset comparison indicator designed to measure whether the current asset is overvalued or undervalued relative to up to three reference assets.
Overview
The RVO compares the current chart's asset against reference assets (default: 30-Year Treasury Bonds, Gold, and US Dollar Index) to determine relative strength and valuation extremes. It outputs normalized oscillator values ranging from -100 (undervalued) to +100 (overvalued).
Key Features
Multiple Calculation Methods
The indicator offers 5 different calculation approaches:
Simple Ratio - Normalized ratio deviation from average
Percentage Difference - Percentage change comparison
Ratio Z-Score - Standard deviation-based comparison
Rate of Change Comparison - Momentum differential analysis (default)
Normalized Ratio - Min-max normalized ratio
Configurable Reference Assets
Asset 1: Default ZB (30-Year Treasury Bond Futures) - tracks interest rate sensitivity
Asset 2: Default GC (Gold Futures) - tracks safe-haven and inflation dynamics
Asset 3: Default DXY (US Dollar Index) - tracks currency strength
Each asset can be enabled/disabled independently
Fully customizable symbols
Visual Components
Multiple oscillator lines - One for each active reference asset (color-coded)
Average line - Combined signal from all active assets
Overbought/Oversold zones - Configurable threshold levels (default: ±80)
Zero line - Neutral valuation reference
Background coloring - Visual zones for extreme conditions
Signal line - Optional smoothed average
Entry markers - Long/short signals at key reversals
Signal Generation
Crossover alerts - When crossing overbought/oversold levels
Entry signals - Reversals from extreme zones
Divergence detection - Bullish/bearish divergences between price and oscillator
Zero-line crosses - Trend strength changes
Customization Options
Lookback period (10-500): Controls statistical calculation window
Normalization period (50-1000): Determines scaling sensitivity
Smoothing toggle: Optional EMA/SMA smoothing with adjustable period
Visual customization: Colors, levels, and display options
Information Table
Real-time dashboard showing:
Average oscillator value
Current status (Overvalued/Undervalued/Neutral)
Current asset price
Individual values for each active reference asset
Use Cases
Mean reversion trading - Identify extreme relative valuations for reversal trades
Sector rotation - Compare assets within similar categories
Hedging strategies - Understand correlation dynamics
Multi-asset analysis - Simultaneously compare against bonds, commodities, and currencies
Divergence trading - Spot price/oscillator divergences
Trading Strategy Applications
Long signals: When oscillator crosses above oversold level (asset recovering from undervaluation)
Short signals: When oscillator crosses below overbought level (asset declining from overvaluation)
Confirmation: Use multiple reference assets for stronger signals
Risk management: Avoid trading when all assets show neutral readings
This indicator is particularly useful for traders who want to incorporate inter-market analysis and relative strength concepts into their trading decisions, especially in OTC (Over-The-Counter) and futures markets.
VSTrade OMCThe indicator calculates the ratio of Open Interest (OI) of a futures contract to the market capitalization (Market Cap) of the spot asset. OI is the number of open (unclosed) futures positions in the market, expressed in contracts. Market Cap is the total value of the asset (price * circulating supply). The ratio shows how "overheated" or "interesting" the futures market is relative to the size of the asset.This is not a direct trading signal, but a tool for analyzing liquidity, speculation, and market sentiment.
Индикатор рассчитывает отношение Open Interest (OI) фьючерсного контракта к рыночной капитализации (Market Cap) спотового актива. OI — это количество открытых (незакрытых) фьючерсных позиций на рынке, выраженное в контрактах. Market Cap — общая стоимость актива (цена * circulating supply). Отношение (ratio) показывает, насколько "перегрет" или "интересен" рынок фьючерсов относительно размера актива.
Это не прямой торговый сигнал, а инструмент для анализа ликвидности, спекуляции и рыночных настроений.
Nifty vs Nifty Fut Premium indicator This indicator compares Nifty Spot and Nifty Futures prices in real-time, displaying the premium (or discount) between them at the top of the pane.
Trading applications:
Arbitrage opportunities: When the premium becomes unusually high or low compared to fair value (based on cost of carry), traders can exploit the mispricing through cash-futures arbitrage
Market sentiment: A rising premium often indicates bullish sentiment as traders are willing to pay more for futures, while a declining or negative premium suggests bearish sentiment
Rollover strategy: Near expiry, monitoring the premium helps traders decide optimal timing for rolling positions from current month to next month contracts
Risk assessment: Sudden spikes in premium can signal increased demand for leveraged long positions, potentially indicating overbought conditions or strong momentum
