Herrick Payoff IndexThe Herrick Payoff Index is designed to show the amount of money flowing into or out of a futures contract. The Index uses open interest during its calculations, therefore, the security being analyzed must contain open interest. The Herrick Payoff Index was developed by John Herrick.When the Herrick Payoff Index is above zero, it shows that money is flowing into the futures contract (which is bullish). When the Index is below zero, it shows that money is flowing out of the futures contract (which is bearish). The interpretation of the Herrick Payoff Index involves looking for divergences between the Index and prices.

UT Bot + Hull MA Close-Cross Confirm (Strategy)UT Bot + Hull MA Close-Cross Confirm (Strategy) This strategy combines the classic UT Bot ATR trailing stop with a Hull Moving Average (HMA) close-cross confirmation to reduce false signals and improve trade quality. The system works in two stages: UT Bot Signal Detection A volatility-adjusted ATR trailing stop identifies potential trend shifts using a 1-period EMA crossover. This provides early buy and sell signals based on momentum and volatility. Hull MA Close-Cross Confirmation UT Bot signals are only confirmed once price closes across the Hull Moving Average. If a UT signal occurs on the wrong side of the Hull MA, the strategy waits until a valid close-cross occurs before triggering an entry. This confirmation step helps filter chop and late-trend reversals. Key Features Non-repainting logic (uses bar-close confirmation) Futures-friendly design (fixed contracts, point-based TP/SL) Supports Long, Short, or Both directions Built-in Take Profit & Stop Loss Configurable Hull MA type (HMA / EHMA / THMA) Optional Heikin Ashi signal source Clean Buy/Sell alerts for automation and webhook execution Trade Logic Summary Long Entry: UT Bot buy signal + confirmed close above Hull MA Short Entry: UT Bot sell signal + confirmed close below Hull MA Exit: Fixed Take Profit or Stop Loss (user-defined in points) Alerts & Automation The strategy includes dedicated Buy Alert and Sell Alert conditions designed for webhook automation (e.g., trade logging, execution engines, or external dashboards). Alerts trigger only on confirmed bar closes, matching backtest behavior. Intended Use This strategy is designed for futures markets (e.g., MNQ, ES, GC) and performs best on intraday timeframes. Session filters, risk rules, and trade management can be handled externally if desired. Disclaimer This script is provided for educational and research purposes only and is not financial advice.

JK Scalp - Nishith RajwarJK Scalp Nishith Rajwar Multi-Stochastic Rotation & Momentum Scalping Framework JK Scalp is a rule-based momentum and rotation oscillator designed for short-term scalping and intraday execution. It focuses on how momentum rotates across multiple stochastic speeds, instead of relying on a single oscillator or lagging averages. This is an execution aid, not a predictive indicator. 🧠 Concept & Originality Unlike standard stochastic tools, JK Scalp uses four synchronized stochastic layers: • Fast (9,3) → execution timing • Medium (14,3) → structure confirmation • Slow (44,3) → swing context • Trend (60,10,10) → dominant momentum regime The core idea is quad-rotation: High-probability trades occur when all momentum layers rotate together after reaching an extreme. This script combines: • Momentum rotation • Divergence logic • Flag continuation logic • Trend-state filtering into a single cohesive framework, not a simple indicator mashup. 📊 How to Use (Step-by-Step) 1️⃣ Best Timeframes • Scalping: 1m – 3m • Intraday: 5m – 15m • Avoid higher timeframes (not designed for swing holding) Works best on: • Index options • Index futures • Highly liquid stocks • Crypto majors 2️⃣ Understanding the Signals 🔁 Quad Rotation (Core Signal) A valid rotation requires: • Fast, Medium, Slow, and Trend stochastic moving in the same direction • Momentum exiting Overbought / Oversold zones • Trend stochastic supporting the move This filters out random oscillator noise. 3️⃣ Entry Conditions 🟢 LONG Setup • Bullish quad rotation • Either: – Bullish divergence OR – Bullish flag pullback • Fast stochastic turning up 🔴 SHORT Setup • Bearish quad rotation • Either: – Bearish divergence OR – Bearish flag pullback • Fast stochastic turning down ⚠️ Signals are confirmation-based, not anticipatory. 4️⃣ SUPER LONG / SUPER SHORT These appear only when: • Quad rotation • Divergence confirmation They represent high-confidence momentum inflection zones, not guaranteed reversals. 5️⃣ Stop-Loss Visualization Optional SL zones are plotted using: • Recent swing high / low • ATR-based buffer (configurable) This helps traders visualize risk, not automate exits. 🎨 Visual System (Why It Looks Different) • Multi-layer glow effects → momentum strength • Dynamic cloud → fast vs trend dominance • Color-shifting fast line → acceleration vs decay • Chart overlays → execution clarity without clutter Everything is designed for speed and readability during live trading. ⭐ Unique Selling Points (USP) ✅ Multi-speed stochastic rotation (not single-line signals) ✅ Context-first, not signal spam ✅ Built-in divergence + continuation logic ✅ Non-repainting logic ✅ Designed for scalpers, not hindsight analysis ✅ Works across indices, options, crypto, and futures ⚠️ Important Notes • Not a standalone trading system • Best combined with: – Market structure – Key levels – Session timing • Avoid low-liquidity or news-spike candles This indicator guides execution, it does not replace discretion. 👤 Who This Is For • Scalpers & intraday traders • Options traders needing precise timing • Traders who understand momentum & structure • Users who want fewer but higher-quality signals 🏁 Summary JK Scalp helps you trade momentum rotation, not overbought/oversold myths. Wait for alignment. Execute with discipline.

EVENT LABELS #### Accumulation Events (Green labels) - **PS** = Preliminary Support - **SC** = Selling Climax (largest label, most important) - **AR** = Automatic Rally - **ST** = Secondary Test - **SPRING** = Spring (critical buy signal) - **TEST** = Test of support - **SOS** = Sign of Strength (breakout) - **LPS** = Last Point of Support - **BU** = Backup #### Distribution Events (Red labels) - **PSY** = Preliminary Supply - **BC** = Buying Climax (largest label, most important) - **AR** = Automatic Reaction - **ST** = Secondary Test - **UTAD** = Upthrust After Distribution (critical sell signal) - **SOW** = Sign of Weakness - **LPSY** = Last Point of Supply #### VSA Events (Small colored labels) - **ND** (Orange) = No Demand - weakness - **NS** (Blue) = No Supply - strength - **SV** (Purple) = Stopping Volume - **UT** (Red) = Upthrust - weakness - **SO** (Green) = Shakeout - strength #### Composite Operator (💰 symbols) - Green 💰 at bottom = Smart Money Accumulation - Red 💰 at top = Smart Money Distribution ### 2. BACKGROUND COLORS - **Light Blue** = Phase A (Accumulation) - **Light Orange** = Phase A (Distribution) - **Very Light Green** = Phase C (Accumulation Testing) - **Very Light Red** = Phase C (Distribution Testing) - **Light Green** = Phase D (Accumulation Strength) - **Light Red** = Phase D (Distribution Weakness) - **Green** = Phase E (Markup - Bull trend) - **Red** = Phase E (Markdown - Bear trend) ### 3. SUPPLY & DEMAND ZONES - **Green boxes** = Demand zones (where smart money accumulated) - **Red boxes** = Supply zones (where smart money distributed) - Zones extend 20 bars into the future - Price reactions at these zones are significant ### 4. VOLUME PANEL - **Dark Green/Red bars** = Very High Volume (climax) - **Light Green/Red bars** = High Volume - **Gray bars** = Normal Volume - **Faint Gray bars** = Low Volume - **Blue line** = Volume Moving Average ### 5. INFORMATION TABLE (Top Right) Displays real-time analysis: - **Current Phase** (A, B, C, D, or E) - **Status** (description of what's happening) - **Volume** (Very High, High, Normal, Low) - **Spread** (Wide, Normal, Narrow) - **Effort/Result** (Poor, Normal, Good) - **Range** (YES if in trading range) - **Bias** (BULLISH, BEARISH, or NEUTRAL) --- ## HOW TO READ THE SIGNALS ### STRONG BUY SIGNALS (in order of strength) 1. **SPRING** (strongest) - False breakdown below support - Look for: Low volume, quick reversal, close above support - Entry: When price closes back above support level - Stop: Below the spring low 2. **SOS (Sign of Strength)** - Break above trading range resistance - Look for: High volume, wide spread up bar - Entry: On breakout or pullback to LPS - Stop: Below trading range 3. **Shakeout (SO)** - Similar to spring but more violent - Look for: High volume, penetration of support, strong close - Entry: When price reclaims support - Stop: Below shakeout low 4. **LPS (Last Point of Support)** - Pullback after SOS - Look for: Low volume, shallow pullback - Entry: When support holds - Stop: Below LPS 5. **No Supply (NS)** - Down bar on very low volume - Indicates lack of selling pressure - Confirms accumulation phase ### STRONG SELL SIGNALS (in order of strength) 1. **UTAD (Upthrust After Distribution)** (strongest) - False breakout above resistance - Look for: High volume spike, rejection, close below resistance - Entry: When price closes back below resistance - Stop: Above UTAD high 2. **SOW (Sign of Weakness)** - Break below trading range support - Look for: High volume, wide spread down bar - Entry: On breakdown or rally to LPSY - Stop: Above trading range 3. **Upthrust (UT)** - Move above resistance on low volume, weak close - Look for: Low volume, close in lower half of bar - Entry: When resistance becomes resistance again - Stop: Above upthrust high 4. **LPSY (Last Point of Supply)** - Rally after SOW - Look for: Low volume, weak rally - Entry: When rally fails - Stop: Above LPSY 5. **No Demand (ND)** - Up bar on very low volume - Indicates lack of buying pressure - Confirms distribution phase ### NEUTRAL/WARNING SIGNALS - **High Effort, Low Result** = Potential reversal coming - **Stopping Volume** = Trend may be ending - **Absorption** = Large volume with small movement (accumulation/distribution) --- ## TRADING STRATEGY EXAMPLES ### Strategy 1: Accumulation Range Breakout **Setup:** 1. Identify trading range (blue background in Phase B) 2. Wait for Spring or Test (Phase C) 3. Wait for SOS breakout (Phase D) **Entry:** - Option A: Buy on SOS breakout - Option B: Wait for LPS pullback (better risk/reward) **Stop Loss:** - Below the spring low or trading range bottom **Target:** - Measure height of trading range (cause) - Project upward from breakout point (effect) - Minimum target = range height **Example:** ``` Trading Range: 100 to 120 (20 point range) SOS Breakout at: 120 Target: 120 + 20 = 140 minimum ``` ### Strategy 2: Distribution Range Breakdown **Setup:** 1. Identify trading range after uptrend 2. Wait for UTAD (Phase C) 3. Wait for SOW breakdown (Phase D) **Entry:** - Option A: Sell on SOW breakdown - Option B: Wait for LPSY rally (better risk/reward) **Stop Loss:** - Above the UTAD high or trading range top **Target:** - Measure height of trading range - Project downward from breakdown point - Minimum target = range height ### Strategy 3: Spring Trading **Setup:** 1. Strong downtrend followed by range 2. Price breaks below range bottom 3. Volume is LOW on breakdown 4. Price quickly reverses and closes above support **Entry:** - When candle closes above support level - Or on retest of support **Stop Loss:** - Below spring low (usually tight) **Target:** - Top of trading range - Previous swing high **Risk/Reward:** - Typically 1:3 or better ### Strategy 4: Smart Money Tracking **Setup:** 1. Look for 💰 symbols in demand zones 2. Multiple accumulation signals (PS, SC, ST, Test) 3. Volume decreasing during range **Entry:** - At next demand zone test - On SOS breakout **Confirmation:** - Background turning green (Phase D/E) - Table shows "BULLISH" bias ### Strategy 5: VSA Reversal **Setup:** 1. Strong trend in place 2. Stopping Volume (SV) appears at extreme 3. Followed by No Demand (ND) or No Supply (NS) **Entry:** - When trend breaks down/up - On retest of extreme **Example (Bullish):** ``` Downtrend → Stopping Volume → No Supply → Up bar Entry: Buy when price moves above SV bar ``` --- ## SETTINGS & CUSTOMIZATION ### Volume Analysis Settings **Volume MA Length** (default: 20) - Shorter = More sensitive to volume changes - Longer = Smoother, less noise - Recommended: 15-25 for most timeframes **High Volume Multiplier** (default: 1.5) - Threshold for "high volume" - Lower = More signals - Higher = Only extreme volume - Recommended: 1.3-2.0 **Climax Volume Multiplier** (default: 2.0) - Threshold for climax events (SC, BC) - Should be significantly higher than normal - Recommended: 2.0-3.0 ### Phase Detection Settings **Swing Detection Length** (default: 5) - How many bars to look left/right for swing points - Shorter = More swings detected (more noise) - Longer = Fewer swings (cleaner, might miss some) - Recommended: 3-7 **Range Expansion Threshold** (default: 1.5) - Multiplier for "wide spread" bars - Higher = Only very wide bars qualify - Recommended: 1.3-2.0 **Volume Confirmation** (default: ON) - Requires volume confirmation for events - Turn OFF for very low volume instruments - Keep ON for stocks, forex, crypto ### Display Options Toggle on/off: - ✅ **Show Accumulation/Distribution Phases** - Background colors - ✅ **Show Wyckoff Events** - All labeled events - ✅ **Show Volume Spread Analysis** - VSA labels - ✅ **Show Supply/Demand Zones** - Boxes on chart - ✅ **Show Composite Operator Signals** - 💰 symbols ### Color Customization - **Bullish Color** - All accumulation events - **Bearish Color** - All distribution events - **Neutral Color** - Range/neutral signals --- ## ALERT SETUP ### Available Alerts 1. **Selling Climax (SC)** - Potential bottom forming 2. **Spring** - Strong buy signal 3. **Sign of Strength (SOS)** - Bullish breakout 4. **Buying Climax (BC)** - Potential top forming 5. **UTAD** - Strong sell signal 6. **Sign of Weakness (SOW)** - Bearish breakdown 7. **Phase E Markup** - Uptrend confirmed 8. **Phase E Markdown** - Downtrend confirmed 9. **Smart Money Accumulation** - Institutions buying 10. **Smart Money Distribution** - Institutions selling ### How to Set Up Alerts 1. Click the "⏰" icon on TradingView 2. Select "Create Alert" 3. Condition: Choose the indicator and alert type 4. Example: "Wyckoff Method - Spring" 5. Set notification preferences (popup, email, webhook) 6. Click "Create" ### Recommended Alert Strategy **Conservative Trader:** - Spring - SOS - UTAD - SOW **Aggressive Trader:** - Add: SC, BC, Smart Money signals **Long-term Investor:** - Phase E Markup - Phase E Markdown - Smart Money Accumulation --- ## COMMON PATTERNS ### Pattern 1: Classic Accumulation ``` Phase A: Downtrend → PS → SC → AR → ST Phase B: Range building (4-12 weeks typical) Phase C: Spring (false breakdown) Phase D: SOS → LPS → BU Phase E: Markup (new uptrend) ``` **What to do:** - Mark the range boundaries - Wait for spring - Buy on LPS or SOS - Hold through markup ### Pattern 2: Classic Distribution ``` Phase A: Uptrend → PSY → BC → AR → ST Phase B: Range building (topping process) Phase C: UTAD (false breakout) Phase D: SOW → LPSY Phase E: Markdown (new downtrend) ``` **What to do:** - Mark the range boundaries - Wait for UTAD - Sell on LPSY or SOW - Stay out during markdown ### Pattern 3: Re-Accumulation ``` Uptrend → Trading Range → Spring → Uptrend continues ``` - Occurs during existing uptrend - Shorter accumulation period - Often no clear SC (trend is already up) - Spring is the key signal ### Pattern 4: Re-Distribution ``` Downtrend → Trading Range → UTAD → Downtrend continues ``` - Occurs during existing downtrend - Shorter distribution period - Often no clear BC (trend is already down) - UTAD is the key signal ### Pattern 5: Failed Breakout **Bullish Failed Breakout:** ``` Range → Breakdown → Immediate reversal (Spring) ``` - Price breaks support - Volume is LOW - Immediate strong reversal - Very bullish **Bearish Failed Breakout:** ``` Range → Breakout → Immediate reversal (UTAD) ``` - Price breaks resistance - Volume may be high initially - Quick rejection and reversal - Very bearish --- ## TIMEFRAME RECOMMENDATIONS ### Daily Charts (Most Reliable) - Best for swing trading - Clear phases and events - Less noise - Recommended for beginners ### 4-Hour Charts - Good for active swing traders - Faster signals than daily - Still reliable ### 1-Hour Charts - For day traders - More false signals - Need to filter carefully - Use in conjunction with higher timeframe ### 15-Minute / 5-Minute - Only for experienced traders - High noise level - Many false signals - Use daily chart for context **Golden Rule:** Always check higher timeframe first! --- ## MULTI-TIMEFRAME ANALYSIS ### Top-Down Approach (Recommended) 1. **Weekly Chart** - Identify major trend and phase 2. **Daily Chart** - Find current accumulation/distribution 3. **4H Chart** - Identify entry timing 4. **Entry Timeframe** - Execute trade ### Example Analysis: **Weekly:** Phase E Markup (bullish) **Daily:** Phase B Re-accumulation **4-Hour:** Spring detected **Action:** Buy on daily LPS --- ## WYCKOFF + OTHER INDICATORS ### Complementary Tools 1. **Moving Averages** - 20/50 SMA for trend context - Already plotted on indicator 2. **RSI** - Divergences at SC/BC - Confirms overbought/oversold 3. **MACD** - Confirms trend change in Phase D - Divergences support Wyckoff events 4. **Volume Profile** - Identifies value areas - Confirms supply/demand zones 5. **Order Flow / Footprint Charts** - See institutional activity - Confirms smart money signals **Don't Over-Complicate:** - Wyckoff is a complete system - Other indicators are supplementary - When in doubt, trust Wyckoff --- ## TROUBLESHOOTING ### Issue: Too Many Labels **Solution:** - Increase swing length (Settings → 7 or 10) - Increase volume multipliers - Turn off VSA labels if not needed - Focus on major events only (SC, Spring, SOS, BC, UTAD, SOW) ### Issue: Missing Expected Events **Solution:** - Decrease swing length (Settings → 3) - Decrease volume multipliers - Turn OFF volume confirmation - Check timeframe (use daily chart) ### Issue: False Signals **Solution:** - Use higher timeframe - Wait for confirmation - Don't trade against major trend - Look for multiple signal convergence ### Issue: Can't See Background Colors **Solution:** - Check "Show Phases" is enabled - Increase monitor brightness - Colors are subtle by design (not to obscure price) ### Issue: Volume Shows Incorrectly **Solution:** - Ensure volume data is available for your symbol - Some symbols have poor volume data - Forex spot pairs have no real volume - Use futures or stock markets for best results ### Issue: No Trading Range Detected **Solution:** - Market may be trending strongly - Trading range might be too small - Wait for price to consolidate - Not all markets have clear ranges --- ## ADVANCED TIPS ### 1. Count Point & Figure Charts - Wyckoff used P&F to measure "cause" - Width of range × height = minimum move target - Longer accumulation = larger markup ### 2. Watch for Absorption - High volume + narrow spread = someone absorbing - In downtrend = accumulation - In uptrend = distribution ### 3. Multiple Timeframe Springs - Spring on daily + spring on weekly = very strong - Increases probability significantly ### 4. Failed Signals Are Signals Too - Failed spring = weakness, expect lower - Failed UTAD = strength, expect higher ### 5. Context is King - Don't buy during Phase E Markdown - Don't sell during Phase E Markup - Respect the major trend ### 6. Volume Precedes Price - Study volume changes first - Price follows volume - Decreasing volume in range = building energy ### 7. Composite Operator Mindset - Think like institutions - Where would smart money buy/sell? - They need liquidity (retail traders) --- ## RISK MANAGEMENT ### Position Sizing **Conservative:** - Risk 1% per trade - Wider stops at range boundaries **Moderate:** - Risk 1-2% per trade - Stops below spring/above UTAD **Aggressive:** - Risk 2-3% per trade - Tight stops - Higher win rate needed ### Stop Loss Placement **Accumulation:** - Below spring low - Below trading range bottom - Below demand zone **Distribution:** - Above UTAD high - Above trading range top - Above supply zone ### Take Profit Strategy **Method 1: Measured Move** - Range height = minimum target - 2x range height = extended target **Method 2: Fibonacci Extensions** - 1.0 = range height - 1.618 = extended target - 2.618 = maximum target **Method 3: Trail the Stop** - Move stop to breakeven at 1R - Trail under swing lows in markup - Lock in profits progressively --- ## BACKTESTING CHECKLIST Before trading with real money: - Backtest on 50+ historical examples - Record all signals in trading journal - Calculate win rate (aim for >50%) - Calculate average R:R (aim for >1:2) - Test on multiple instruments - Test on multiple timeframes - Test in different market conditions - Verify signal consistency - Practice on demo account - Start small with real money --- ## RECOMMENDED READING ### Books 1. **"Studies in Tape Reading"** - Richard D.

MNQ Quant Oscillator Lab v2.1MNQ Quant Oscillator Lab v2.1 — Clean Namespaces Adaptive LinReg Oscillator + Auto Regime Switching + MTF Confirmation + MOEP Gate + Research Harness MNQ Quant Oscillator Lab is a research-grade oscillator framework designed for MNQ/NQ (and other liquid futures/indices) on 1-minute and intraday timeframes. It combines a linear-regression-based detrended oscillator with quant-style normalization, adaptive parameterization, regime switching, multi-timeframe confirmation, and an optional MOEP (Minimum Optimal Entry Point) gate. The goal is to provide a customizable signal laboratory that is stable in real time, non-repainting by default, and suitable for systematic experimentation. What this indicator does 1) Core oscillator (quant-normalized) The indicator computes a linear regression (LinReg) detrended signal and expresses it as a z-scored oscillator for portability across volatility regimes and assets. You can switch the oscillator “transform family” via Oscillator type: LinReg Residual / Residual Z: detrended residual (mean-reversion sensitive) LinReg Slope Z: regression slope (trend-derivative sensitive) LogReturn Z: log-return oscillator (momentum-style) VolNorm Return Z: volatility-normalized returns (risk-scaled) This yields a single oscillator that is comparable over time, not tied to raw point values. 2) Adaptive length (dynamic calibration) When enabled, the regression length is automatically adapted using a volatility-regime proxy (ATR% z-scored → logistic mapping). High volatility typically shortens the effective lookback; low volatility allows longer lookbacks. This helps the oscillator remain responsive during expansions while staying stable in compressions. Important: the adaptive logic is implemented with safe warmup behavior, so it will not throw NaN errors on early bars. 3) Adaptive thresholds (dynamic bands) Instead of static overbought/oversold levels, the indicator can compute dynamic upper/lower bands from the oscillator’s own distribution (rolling mean + sigma). This creates thresholds that adjust automatically to regime changes. 4) Auto regime switching (Trend vs Mean Reversion) With Auto regime switch enabled, the indicator selects whether to behave as a Trend system or a Mean Reversion system using an interpretable heuristic: Trend regime when EMA-spread is strong relative to ATR and ATR is rising Otherwise defaults to Mean Reversion This prevents running mean-reversion logic in trend breakouts and reduces “mode mismatch.” 5) Multi-timeframe (MTF) confirmation (optional) MTF confirmation can be enabled to require that the higher timeframe oscillator sign aligns with the direction of the signal. This is useful for reducing noise on MNQ 1m by requiring higher-timeframe structure agreement (e.g., 5m or 15m). 6) MOEP Gate (optional “institutional” filter) The MOEP gate is a confluence score filter intended to reduce low-quality signals. It aggregates multiple components into a 0–100 score: BB/KC squeeze condition Expansion proxy Trend proxy Momentum proxy (RSI-based) Volume catalyst (volume z-score) Structure break (highest/lowest break) You can set: Score threshold (minimum score required) Minimum components required (forces diversity of evidence) When enabled, a signal must satisfy both oscillator logic and MOEP confluence conditions. 7) Research harness (NON-CAUSAL, OFF by default) A built-in research mode evaluates signals using future bars to compute basic forward excursion statistics: MFE (max favorable excursion) MAE (max adverse excursion) Simple win-rate proxy based on MFE vs MAE This feature is strictly for offline analysis and tuning. It is disabled by default and should not be considered “live-safe” because it uses future information for evaluation. Signals and interpretation Mean Reversion regime Long: oscillator is below the lower band and turns back upward across it Short: oscillator is above the upper band and turns back downward across it Trend regime Long: oscillator crosses above zero (optionally requires structure break confirmation) Short: oscillator crosses below zero (optionally requires structure break confirmation) Hybrid When Hybrid is selected (manual mode), the indicator allows both trend and mean-reversion triggers, but still respects the filters and gates you enable. Recommended starting configuration (MNQ 1m) If you want stable, high-quality signals first, then expand into research: Use RTH only: ON Auto regime switch: ON Adaptive length: ON Adaptive bands: ON MTF confirmation: OFF initially (turn ON later with 5m) MOEP Gate: OFF initially (turn ON after you confirm base behavior) Research harness: OFF (only enable for tuning studies) Practical notes / transparency The indicator is designed to be stable on live bars (optional confirmed-bar behavior reduces flicker). No repainting logic is used for signals. Any “performance” numbers shown under Research harness are not tradable metrics; they are forward-looking evaluation outputs intended strictly for experimentation.

Volume Delta Divergence Candle ColorThis indicator identifies divergences between price action and volume delta, highlighting potential reversal or continuation signals by coloring candles when buyer/seller pressure conflicts with the candle's direction. **How It Works:** The indicator analyzes real-time up/down volume data to detect two types of divergences: 🟣 **Seller Divergence (Fuscia)** - Occurs when a candle closes bullish (green) but the volume delta is negative, indicating more selling pressure despite the upward price movement. This suggests weak buying or potential distribution. 🔵 **Buyer Divergence (Cyan)** - Occurs when a candle closes bearish (red) but the volume delta is positive, indicating more buying pressure despite the downward price movement. This suggests weak selling or potential accumulation. **Features:** ✓ Colors only divergent candles - non-divergent candles maintain your chart's default colors ✓ Uses actual exchange volume delta data (works best with CME futures and other instruments with tick-level data) ✓ Optional triangle markers above/below divergent candles for quick visual identification ✓ Clean, minimal design that doesn't clutter your chart **Best Used For:** - Identifying potential reversals or continuations - Spotting weak price movements that may not follow through - Confirming price action with underlying volume pressure - Works on any timeframe with available volume delta data **Note:** This indicator requires volume data from exchanges that provide tick-level information (CME futures, cryptocurrency exchanges, etc.). Results may vary on instruments with limited volume data.

Unmitigated MTF High Low - Cave Diving Plot IntroductionThe Unmitigated MTF High Low - Cave Diving Plot is a multi-timeframe (MTF) indicator designed for NQ and ES futures traders who want to identify high-probability entry and exit zones based on unmitigated price levels. The "Cave Diving" visualization helps you navigate between support (floor) and resistance (ceiling) zones, while the integrated Strat analysis provides directional context. Who Is This For? Futures traders (NQ, ES) trading during ETH and RTH sessions Scalpers and day traders looking for precise entry/exit levels Traders using The Strat methodology for directional analysis Anyone seeking confluence between price action and key levels Core Concepts 1. Unmitigated Level: An unmitigated level is a price high or low that has been created but not yet tested (touched) by price. These levels act as magnets - price often returns to test them.Key Properties: Resistance (Highs): Price has created a high but hasn't revisited it Support (Lows): Price has created a low but hasn't revisited it Mitigation: When price touches a level, it becomes "mitigated" and loses strength 2. The Cave Diving MetaphorThink of trading as cave diving between two zones: ┌─────────────────────────────────┐ │ CEILING (Upper Band) │ ← 1st & 2nd Unmitigated Highs │ 🟥 Resistance Zone │ ├─────────────────────────────────┤ │ │ │ THE TUNNEL │ ← Price navigates here │ (Trading Channel) │ │ │ ├─────────────────────────────────┤ │ 🟢 Support Zone │ │ FLOOR (Lower Band) │ ← 1st & 2nd Unmitigated Lows └─────────────────────────────────┘ Trading Concept: Ceiling: Formed by the 1st and 2nd most recent unmitigated highs Floor: Formed by the 1st and 2nd most recent unmitigated lows Tunnel: The space between ceiling and floor where price operates Cave Diving: Navigating between these zones for entries and exits 3.

Intermarket Swing Projection [LuxAlgo]The Intermarket Swing Projection allows traders to plot price movement swings from any user-selected asset directly onto the chart in the form of zigzags and/or horizontal support and resistance levels. This tool rescale the external asset price on the user chart, enabling traders to make direct comparisons. It answers the question of how different the price behavior is between two assets, accounting for each asset's volatility. 🔶 USAGE This tool is based on swing detection of two different assets: the chart and a user-selected asset. It allows traders to compare two assets on an equal footing while accounting for volatility and price behavior. Traders can customize the detection by selecting a custom ticker, timeframe, the number of swings and length for swing detection. This makes the tool a Swiss army knife for asset comparison. As we can see in the image below, the Show Last, Pivot Length, and Spread parameters are key to defining the final output of the tool. "Show Last" defines how many pivots are displayed. "Pivot Length" is used for pivot detection; a larger value will detect larger market structures. "Spread" defines how far apart the horizontal levels will be from their original location in terms of volatility. 🔹 Comparing different assets This image shows the Nasdaq 100 futures contract compared to four other futures contracts: S&P 500, gold, bitcoin, and euro/U.S. dollar. Plotting all of these assets in Nasdaq 100 terms makes it easy to compare and analyze price behaviors and identify key levels. In the top left chart, we have NQ vs. ES. It's no surprise that they are practically an exact match; a large portion of the S&P 500 is technology. In the top right chart, NQ vs. GC, we see totally different behaviors. We can clearly see the summer consolidation in gold and the resumption of the uptrend, which took gold above 29,200 NQ points, up from 21,200. In the bottom right chart, we see bitcoin making new highs, way above the Nasdaq in May, July, and October. However, the last high was way below the Nasdaq prices on October 27—the first lower high in a while. Sellers are pushing down. Finally, the bottom left chart is NQ vs. 6E. We can see large volatility in the uptrend since February, with NQ unable to catch up until now. The last swing low was almost a match, and 6E is in a range. As we can see, this tool allows us to perform intermarket analysis properly by accounting for each asset's volatility and price behavior. Then, we plot them on the same scale on equal terms, which makes performing this kind of analysis easy. As we can see in the chart above, the assets are the same as in the previous image, but the timeframe is 1H with different settings. Note the horizontal levels acting as support and resistance, as well as how NQ prices react to the zones marked with white circles. These levels are derived from custom assets selected by the user. 🔹 Displaying Elements Zig-zag allows traders to clearly see the path that the selected asset's price took, as well as its turning points. Horizontal levels are displayed from those turning points to the present and can be used as support or resistance. Traders can adjust the spread parameter in the settings panel to expand or contract those levels' volatility. There are two color modes for the levels: average and pivots. In the first mode, green is used for levels below the average and red for levels above the average. The second uses green for swing lows and red for swing highs. The backpaint feature is enabled by default and allows the swings to be displayed in the correct location. With this feature disabled, the swings will be displayed in the current location when a new swing is detected. 🔶 DETAILS On a more technical note, the rescaling is formed by calculating three main elements from all the swings detected on the custom and chart assets: The chart asset's average of all swing points The chart asset's standard deviation of all swing points The custom asset's z-score for each swing point Then, the re-scaled swing point is calculated as the average plus the z-score multiplied by the standard deviation. This makes it possible to plot AAPL swings on an NQ chart, for example. Thanks to re-scaling, we can directly compare the price behavior of two assets with different price ranges and volatility on the same chart. 🔶 SETTINGS 🔹 Trendlines Ticker: Select the custom ticker. Timeframe: Select a custom timeframe. Show Last: Select how many swing points to display. Pivot Length: Select the size for swing point detection. Spread: Volatility multiplier for horizontal levels. Larger values mean the levels are farther apart. Backpaint: Enable or disable the backpaint feature. When enabled, the drawings will be displayed where they were detected. When disabled, the drawings will be displayed at the moment of detection. 🔹 Style Show ZigZag: Enable or disable the ZigZag display and choose a line style. Show Levels: Enable or disable the levels display and choose a line style. Color Mode: Choose between Average Mode, which colors all levels below the average bullish and all levels above bearish, and Pivot Mode, which colors swing highs bearish and swing lows bullish. Bullish: Select a bullish color. Bearish: Select a bearish color. ZigZag: Select the ZigZag color.

Cold Brew Ranges🧭 Core Logic and Calculation The fundamental logic for each range (OR and CR) is identical: Time Definition: Each range is defined by a specific Start Time and a fixed 30-second duration. The timestamp function, using the "America/New_York" time zone, is used to calculate the exact start time in Unix milliseconds for the current day. Example: t0200 = timestamp(TZ, yC, mC, dC, 2, 0, 0) sets the start time for the 02:00 OR to 2:00:00 AM NY time. Range Data Collection: The indicator uses the request.security_lower_tf() function to collect the High (hArr) and Low (lArr) prices of all bars that fall within the defined 30-second window, using a user-specified, sub-chart-timeframe (openrangetime, defaulted to "1" second, "30S", or "5" minutes). This ensures high precision in capturing the exact high and low during the 30-second window. High/Low Determination: It iteratively finds the absolute highest price (OR_high) and the absolute lowest price (OR_low) recorded by the bars during that 30-second window. Range Locking: Once the current chart bar's time (lastTs) passes the 30-second End Time (tEnd), the High and Low are locked (OR_locked = true), meaning the range calculation is complete for the day. Drawing: Upon locking, the range is drawn on the chart using line.new for the High, Low, and Equilibrium, and box.new for the shaded fill. The lines are extended to a subsequent time anchor point (e.g., the 02:00 OR is extended to 08:20, the 09:30 OR is extended to 16:00). Equilibrium (EQ): This is calculated as the simple average (midpoint) of the High and Low of the range. EQ= 2 OR_High+OR_Low ​ ⏰ Defined Trading Ranges The indicator defines and tracks the following specific 30-second ranges: Range Name Type Start Time (NY) Line Extension End Time (NY) Common Market Context 02:00 OR Opening 02:00:00 08:20:00 Asian/European Market Overlap 08:20 OR Opening 08:20:00 16:00:00 Pre-New York Open 09:30 OR Opening 09:30:00 16:00:00 New York Stock Exchange Open (Most significant OR) 18:00 OR Opening 18:00:00 20:00:00 Futures Market Open (Sunday/Monday) 20:00 OR Opening 20:00:00 Next Day's session start Asian Session Start 15:50 CR Closing 15:50:00 20:00:00 New York Close Range ⚙️ Key User Inputs and Customization The script offers extensive control over which ranges are displayed and how they are visualized: Range Time & History openrangetime: Sets the sub-timeframe (e.g., "1" for 1 second) used to calculate the precise High/Low of the 30-second range. Crucial for accuracy. showHistory: A toggle to show the ranges from previous days (up to a histCap of 50 days). Range Toggles and Styling On/Off Toggles: Independent input.bool (e.g., OR_0200_on) to enable or disable the display of each individual range. Colors & Width: Separate color and width inputs for the High/Low lines (hlC), the Equilibrium line (eqC), and the background fill (fillC) for each range. Line Styles: Global inputs for the line styles of High/Low (lineStyleInput) and Equilibrium (eqLineStyleInput) lines (Solid, Dotted, or Dashed). showFill: Global toggle to enable the shaded background box that highlights the area between the High and Low. Extensions The script calculates and plots extensions (multiples of the initial range) above the High and below the Low. showExt: Toggles the visibility of the extension lines. useRangeMultiples: If true, the step size for each extension level is equal to the initial range size: Step=Range=OR_High−OR_Low If false, the step size is a fixed value defined by stepPts (e.g., 60.0 points, which is a common value for NQ futures). stepCnt: Determines how many extension levels (multiples) are drawn above and below the range (default is 10). 📈 Trading Strategy Implications The Cold Brew Ranges indicator is a tool for session-based support and resistance and range breakout/reversal strategies. Key Support/Resistance: The High and Low of these defined opening ranges often act as strong, predefined price levels. Traders look for price rejection off these boundaries or a breakout with conviction. Equilibrium (Midpoint): The EQ often represents a fair value for that specific session's opening. Movements away from it are seen as opportunities, and a return to it is common. Extensions: The range extensions serve as potential profit targets or stronger, layered support/resistance levels if the market trends aggressively after the opening range is set. The core idea is that the activity in the first 30 seconds of a significant trading session (like the NYSE or a market session open) sets a bias and initial boundary for the trading period that follows.

Volatility-Dynamic Risk Manager MNQ [HERMAN]Title: Volatility-Dynamic Risk Manager MNQ Description: The Volatility-Dynamic Risk Manager is a dedicated risk management utility designed specifically for traders of Micro Nasdaq 100 Futures (MNQ). Many traders struggle with position sizing because they use a fixed Stop Loss size regardless of market conditions. A 10-point stop might be safe in a slow market but easily stopped out in a high-volatility environment. This indicator solves that problem by monitoring real-time volatility (using ATR) and automatically suggesting the appropriate Stop Loss size and Position Size (Contracts) to keep your dollar risk constant. Note: This tool is hardcoded for MNQ (Micro Nasdaq) with a tick value calculation of $2 per point. 📈 How It Works -This script operates on a logical flow that adapts to market behavior: -Volatility Measurement: It calculates the Average True Range (ATR) over a user-defined length (Default: 14) to gauge the current "speed" of the market. -State Detection: Based on the current ATR, the script classifies the market into one of three states: Low Volatility: The market is chopping or moving slowly. Normal Volatility: Standard trading conditions. High Volatility: The market is moving aggressively. Dynamic Stop Loss Selection: Depending on the detected state, the script selects a pre-defined Stop Loss (in points) that you have configured for that specific environment. Position Sizing Calculation: Finally, it calculates how many MNQ contracts you can trade so that if your Stop Loss is hit, you do not lose more than your defined "Max Risk per Trade." 🧮 Methodology & Calculations Since this script handles risk management, transparency in calculation is vital. Here is the exact math used: ATR Calculation: Contracts = Max Risk / Risk Per Contract ⚙️ Settings You can fully customize the behavior of the risk manager via the settings panel: Risk Management -Max Risk per Trade ($): The maximum amount of USD you are willing to lose on a single trade. Volatility Thresholds (ATR) -ATR Length: The lookback period for volatility calculation. -Upper Limit for LOW Volatility: If ATR is below this number, the market is "Low Volatility." -Lower Limit for HIGH Volatility: If ATR is above this number, the market is "High Volatility." (Anything between Low and High is considered "Normal"). Stop Loss Settings (Points) -SL for Low/Normal/High: Define how wide your stop loss should be in points for each of the three market states. Visual Settings -Color Theme: Switch between Light and Dark modes. -Panel Position: Move the dashboard to any corner or center of your chart. -Panel Size: Adjust the scale (Tiny to Large) to fit your screen resolution. 📊 Dashboard Overview -The on-screen panel provides a quick-glance summary for live execution: -Market State: Color-coded status (Green = Low Vol, Orange = Normal, Red = High Vol). -Current ATR: The live volatility reading. -Suggested SL: The Stop Loss size you should enter in your execution platform. -CONTRACTS: The calculated position size. -Est. Loss: The actual dollar amount you will lose if the stop is hit (usually slightly less than your Max Risk due to rounding down). Who is this for? -Discretionary and systematic futures traders on MNQ (/MNQ or MES also works with small adjustments) -Anyone who wants perfect risk consistency regardless of whether the market is asleep or exploding -Traders who hate manual position-size calculations on every trade No repainting Works on any timeframe Real-time updates on every bar Overlay indicator (no signals, pure risk-management tool) ⚠️ Disclaimer This tool is for informational and educational purposes only. It calculates mathematical position sizes based on user inputs. It does not execute trades, nor does it guarantee profits. Past performance (volatility) is not indicative of future results. Always manually verify your order size before executing trades on your broker platform.

US Market Long Horizon Momentum Summary in one paragraph US Market Long Horizon Momentum is a trend following strategy for US index ETFs and futures built around a single eighteen month time series momentum measure. It helps you stay long during persistent bull regimes and step aside or flip short when long term momentum turns negative. Scope and intent • Markets. Large cap US equity indices, liquid US index ETFs, index futures • Timeframes. 4h/ Daily charts • Default demo used in the publication. SPY on 4h timeframe chart • Purpose. Provide a minimal long bias index timing model that can reduce deep drawdowns and capture major cycles without parameter mining • Limits. This is a strategy. Orders are simulated on standard candles only Originality and usefulness • Unique concept or fusion. One unscaled multiple month log return of an external benchmark symbol drives all entries and exits, with optional volatility targeting as a single risk control switch. • Failure mode addressed. Fully passive buy and hold ignores the sign of long horizon momentum and can sit through multi year drawdowns. This script offers a way to step down risk in prolonged negative momentum without chasing short term noise. • Testability. All parameters are visible in Inputs and the momentum series is plotted so users can verify every regime change in the Tester and on price history. • Portable yardstick. The log return over a fixed window is a unit that can be applied to any liquid symbol with daily data. Method overview in plain language The method looks at how far the benchmark symbol has moved in log return terms over an eighteen month window in our example. If that long horizon return is positive the strategy allows a long stance on the traded symbol. If it is negative and shorts are enabled the strategy can flip short, otherwise it goes flat. There is an optional realised volatility estimate on the traded symbol that can scale position size toward a target annual volatility, but in the default configuration the model uses unit leverage and only the sign of momentum matters. Base measures Return basis. The core yardstick is the natural log of close divided by the close eighteen months ago on the benchmark symbol. Daily log returns of the traded symbol feed the realised volatility estimate when volatility targeting is enabled. Components • Component one Momentum eighteen months. Log of benchmark close divided by its close mom_lookback bars ago. Its sign defines the trend regime. No extra smoothing is applied beyond the long window itself. • Component two Realised volatility optional. Standard deviation of daily log returns on the traded symbol over sixty three days. Annualised by the square root of 252. Used only when volatility targeting is enabled. • Optional component Volatility targeting. Converts target annual volatility and realised volatility into a leverage factor clipped by a maximum leverage setting. Fusion rule The model uses a simple gate. First compute the sign of eighteen month log momentum on the benchmark symbol. Optionally compute leverage from volatility. The sign decides whether the strategy wants to be long, short, or flat. Leverage only rescales position size when enabled and does not change direction. Signal rule • Long suggestion. When eighteen month log momentum on the benchmark symbol is greater than zero, the strategy wants to be long. • Short suggestion. When that log momentum is less than zero and shorts are allowed, the strategy wants to be short. If shorts are disabled it stays flat instead. • Wait state. When the log momentum is exactly zero or history is not long enough the strategy stays flat. • In position. In practice the strategy sits IN LONG while the sign stays positive and flips to IN SHORT or flat only when the sign changes. Inputs with guidance Setup • Momentum Lookback (months). Controls the horizon of the log return on the benchmark symbol. Typical range 6 to 24 months. Raising it makes the model slower and more selective. Lowering it makes it more reactive and sensitive to medium term noise. • Symbol. External symbol used for the momentum calculation, SPY by default. Changing it lets you time other indices or run signals from a benchmark while trading a correlated instrument. Logic • Allow Shorts. When true the strategy will open short positions during negative momentum regimes. When false it will stay flat whenever momentum is negative. Practical setting is tied to whether you use a margin account or an ETF that supports shorting. Internal risk parameters (not exposed as inputs in this version) are: • Target Vol (annual). Target annual volatility for volatility targeting, default 0.2. • Vol Lookback (days). Window for realised volatility, default 63 trading days. • Max Leverage. Cap on leverage when volatility targeting is enabled, default 2. Usage recipes Swing continuation • Signal timeframe. Use the daily chart. • Benchmark symbol. Leave at SPY for US equity index exposure. • Momentum lookback. Eighteen months as a default, with twelve months as an alternative preset for a faster swing bias. Properties visible in this publication • Initial capital. 100000 • Base currency. USD • Default order size method. 5% of the total capital in this example • Pyramiding. 0 • Commission. 0.03 percent • Slippage. 3 ticks • Process orders on close. On • Bar magnifier. Off • Recalculate after order is filled. Off • Calc on every tick. Off • All request.security calls use lookahead = barmerge.lookahead_off Realism and responsible publication The strategy is for education and research only. It does not claim any guaranteed edge or future performance. All results in Strategy Tester are hypothetical and depend on the data vendor, costs, and slippage assumptions. Intrabar motion is not modeled inside daily bars so extreme moves and gaps can lead to fills that differ from live trading. The logic is built for standard candles and should not be used on synthetic chart types for execution decisions. Performance is sensitive to regime structure in the US equity market, which may change over time. The strategy does not protect against single day crash risk inside bars and does not model gap risk explicitly. Past behavior of SPY and the momentum effect does not guarantee future persistence. Honest limitations and failure modes • Long sideways regimes with small net change over eighteen months can lead to whipsaw around the zero line. • Very sharp V shaped reversals after deep declines will often be missed because the model waits for momentum to turn positive again. • The sample size in a full SPY history is small because regime changes are infrequent, so any test must be interpreted as indicative rather than statistically precise. • The model is highly dependent on the chosen lookback. Users should test nearby values and validate that behavior is qualitatively stable. Legal Education and research only. Not investment advice. You are responsible for your own decisions. Always test on historical data and in simulation with realistic costs before any live use.

Open Interest RSI [BackQuant]Open Interest RSI A multi-venue open interest oscillator that aggregates OI across major derivatives exchanges, converts it to coin or USD terms, and runs an RSI-style engine on that aggregated OI so you can track positioning pressure, crowding, and mean reversion in leverage flows, not just in price. What this is This tool is an RSI built on top of aggregated open interest instead of price. It pulls futures OI from several major exchanges, converts it into a unified unit (COIN or USD), sums it into a single synthetic OI candle, then applies RSI and smoothing to that combined series. You can then render that Open Interest RSI in different visual modes: Clean line or colored line for classic oscillator-style reads. Column-style oscillator for impulse and compression views. Flag mode that fills between OI RSI and its EMA for trend/mean reversion blends. See: Heatmap mode that paints the panel based on OI RSI extremes, ideal for scanning. See: On top of that it includes: Aggregated OI source selection (Binance, Bybit, OKX, Bitget, Kraken, HTX, Deribit). Choice of OI units (COIN or USD). Reference lines and OB/OS zones. Extreme highlighting for either trend or mean reversion. A vertical OI RSI meter that acts as a quick strength gauge. Aggregated open interest source Under the hood, the indicator builds a synthetic open interest candle by: Looping over a list of supported exchanges: Binance, Bybit, OKX, Bitget, Kraken, HTX, Deribit. Looping over multiple contract suffixes (such as USDT.P, USD.P, USDC.P, USD.PM) to capture different contract types on each venue. Requesting OI candles from each venue + contract combination for the same underlying symbol. Converting each OI stream into a common unit: In COIN mode, everything is normalized into coin-denominated OI. In USD mode, coin OI is multiplied by price to approximate notional OI. Summing up open, high, low and close of OI across venues into a single aggregated OI candle. If no valid OI is available for the current symbol across all sources, the script throws a clear runtime error so you know you are on an unsupported market. This gives you a single, exchange-agnostic open interest curve instead of being tied to one venue. That aggregated OI is then passed into the RSI logic. How the OI RSI is calculated The RSI side is straightforward, but it is applied to the aggregated OI close: Compute a base RSI of aggregated OI using the Calculation Period . Apply a simple moving average of length Smoothing Period (SMA) to reduce noise in the raw OI RSI. Optionally apply an EMA on top of the smoothed OI RSI as a moving average signal line. Key parameters: Calculation Period – base RSI length for OI. Smoothing Period (SMA) – extra smoothing on the RSI value. EMA Period – EMA length on the smoothed OI RSI. The result is: oi_rsi – raw RSI of aggregated OI. oi_rsi_s – SMA-smoothed OI RSI. ma – EMA of the smoothed OI RSI. Thresholds and extremes You control three core thresholds: Mid Point – central reference level, typically 50. Extreme Upper Threshold – high-level OI RSI edge (for example 80). Extreme Lower Threshold – low-level OI RSI edge (for example 20). These thresholds are used for: Reference lines or OB/OS zone fills. Heatmap gradient bounds. Background highlighting of extremes. The Extreme Highlighting mode controls how extremes are interpreted: None – do nothing special in extreme regions. Mean-Rev – background turns red on high OI RSI and green on low OI RSI, framing extremes as contrarian zones. Trend – background turns green on high OI RSI and red on low OI RSI, framing extremes as participation zones aligned with the prevailing move. Reference lines and OB/OS zones You can choose: None – clean plotting without guides. Basic Reference Lines – mid, upper and lower thresholds as simple gray horizontals. OB/OS Levels – filled zones between: Upper OB: from the upper threshold to 100, colored with the short/overbought color. Lower OS: from 0 to the lower threshold, colored with the long/oversold color. These guides help visually anchor the OI RSI within "normal" versus "extreme" regions. Plotting modes The Plotting Type input controls how OI RSI is drawn. All modes share the same underlying OI and RSI logic, but emphasise different aspects of the signal. 1) Line mode This is the classic oscillator representation: Plots the smoothed OI RSI as a simple line using RSI Line Color and RSI Line Width . Optionally plots the EMA overlay on the same panel. Works well when you want standard RSI-style signals on leverage flows: crosses of the midline, divergences versus price, and so on. 2) Colored Line mode In this mode: The OI RSI is plotted as a line, but its color is dynamic. If the smoothed OI RSI is above the mid point, it uses the Long/OB Color . If it is below the mid point, it uses the Short/OS Color . This creates an instant visual regime switch between "bullish positioning pressure" and "bearish positioning pressure", while retaining the feel of a traditional RSI line. 3) Oscillator mode Oscillator mode renders OI RSI as vertical columns around the mid level: The smoothed OI RSI is plotted as columns using plot.style_columns . The histogram base is fixed at 50, so bars extend above and below the mid line. Bar color is dynamic, using long or short colors depending on which side of the mid point the value sits. This representation makes impulse and compression in OI flows more obvious. It is especially useful when you want to focus on how quickly OI RSI is expanding or contracting around its neutral level. See: 4) Flag mode Flag mode turns OI RSI and its EMA into a two-line band with a filled area between them: The smoothed OI RSI and its EMA are both plotted. A fill is drawn between them. The fill color flips between the long color and the short color depending on whether OI RSI is above or below its EMA. Black outlines are added to both lines to make the band clear against any background. This creates a "flag" style region where: Green fills show OI RSI leading its EMA, suggesting positive positioning momentum. Red fills show OI RSI trailing below its EMA, suggesting negative positioning momentum. Crossovers of the two lines can be read as shifts in OI momentum regime. Flag mode is useful if you want a more structural view that combines both the level and slope behaviour of OI RSI. See: 5) Heatmap mode Heatmap mode recasts OI RSI as a single-row gradient instead of a line: A single row at level 1 is plotted using column style. The color is pulled from a gradient between the lower and upper thresholds: Near the lower threshold it approaches the short/oversold color and near the upper threshold it approaches the long/overbought color. The EMA overlay and reference lines are disabled in this mode to keep the panel clean. This is a very compact way to track OI RSI state at a glance, especially when stacking it alongside other indicators. See: OI RSI vertical meter Beyond the main plot, the script can draw a small "thermometer" table showing the current OI RSI position from 0 to 100: The meter is a two-column table with a configurable number of rows. Row colors form an inverted gradient: red at the top (100) and green at the bottom (0). The script clamps OI RSI between 0 and 100 and maps it to a row index. An arrow marker "▶" is drawn next to the row corresponding to the current OI RSI value. 0 and 100 labels are printed at the ends of the scale for orientation. You control: Show OI RSI Meter – turn the meter on or off. OI RSI Blocks – number of vertical blocks (granularity). OI RSI Meter Position – panel anchor (top/bottom, left/center/right). The meter is particularly helpful if you keep the main plot in a small panel but still want an intuitive strength gauge. How to read it as a market pressure gauge Because this is an RSI built on aggregated open interest, its extremes and regimes speak to positioning pressure rather than price alone: High OI RSI (near or above the upper threshold) indicates that open interest has been increasing aggressively relative to its recent history. This often coincides with crowded leverage and a buildup of directional pressure. Low OI RSI (near or below the lower threshold) indicates aggressive de-leveraging or closing of positions, often associated with flushes, forced unwinds or post-liquidation clean-ups. Values around the mid point indicate more balanced positioning flows. You can combine this with price action: Price up with rising OI RSI suggests fresh leverage joining the move, a more persistent trend. Price up with falling OI RSI suggests shorts covering or longs taking profit, more fragile upside. Price down with rising OI RSI suggests aggressive new shorts or levered selling. Price down with falling OI RSI suggests de-leveraging and potential exhaustion of the move. Trading applications Trend confirmation on leverage flows Use OI RSI to confirm or question a price trend: In an uptrend, rising OI RSI with values above the mid point indicates supportive leverage flows. In an uptrend, repeated failures to lift OI RSI above mid point or persistent weakness suggest less committed participation. In a downtrend, strong OI RSI on the downside points to aggressive shorting. Mean reversion in positioning Use thresholds and the Mean-Rev highlight mode: When OI RSI spends extended time above the upper threshold, the crowd is extended on one side. That can set up squeeze risk in the opposite direction. When OI RSI has been pinned low, it suggests heavy de-leveraging. Once price stabilises, a re-risking phase is often not far away. Background colours in Mean-Rev mode help visually identify these periods. Regime mapping with plotting modes Different plotting modes give different perspectives: Heatmap mode for dashboard-style use where you just need to know "hot", "neutral" or "cold" on OI flows at a glance. Oscillator mode for short term impulses and compression reads around the mid line. See: Flag mode for blending level and trend of OI RSI into a single banded visual. See: Settings overview RSI group Plotting Type – None, Line, Colored Line, Oscillator, Flag, Heatmap. Calculation Period – base RSI length for OI. Smoothing Period (SMA) – smoothing on RSI. Moving Average group Show EMA – toggle EMA overlay (not used in heatmap). EMA Period – length of EMA on OI RSI. EMA Color – colour of EMA line. Thresholds group Mid Point – central reference.

FluxPulse Beacon## FluxPulse Beacon FluxPulse Beacon applies a microstructure lens to every bar, combining directional thrust, realized volatility, and multi-timeframe liquidity checks to decide whether the tape is being pushed by real sponsorship or just noise. The oscillator's color-coded columns and adaptive burst thresholds transform complex flow dynamics into a single actionable flux score for futures and equities traders. HOW IT WORKS Momentum Extraction – Price differentials over a configurable pulse distance are smoothed using exponential moving averages to isolate directional thrust without reacting to single prints. Volatility + Liquidity Normalization – The momentum stream is divided by realized volatility and multiplied by both local and higher-timeframe EMA volume ratios, ensuring pulses only appear when volatility and liquidity align. Adaptive Thresholding – A volatility-derived standard deviation of flux is blended with the base threshold so bursts scale automatically between low-volatility and high-volatility market conditions. Divergence Engine – Linear regression slopes compare price vs. flux to tag bullish/bearish divergences, highlighting stealth accumulation or distribution zones. HOW TO USE IT Continuation Entries : Go with the trend when histogram bars stay above the adaptive threshold, the signal line confirms, and trend bias agrees—this is where liquidity-backed follow-through lives. Fade Plays : Watch for divergence alerts and shrinking compression values; when flux prints below zero yet price grinds higher, hidden selling pressure often precedes rollovers. Session Filter : Compression percentage in the diagnostics table instantly tells you whether to trade thin overnight sessions—low compression means stand down. VISUAL FEATURES Dynamic background heat maps flux magnitude, while threshold lines provide a quick read on whether a pulse is statistically significant. Diagnostics table displays live flux, signal, adaptive threshold, and compression for quick reference. Alert-first workflow: The surface is intentionally clean—bursts and divergences are delivered via alerts instead of on-chart clutter. PARAMETERS Trend EMA Length (default: 34): Defines the macro bias anchor; increase for higher-timeframe confirmation. Pulse Distance (default: 8): Controls how sensitive momentum extraction becomes. Volatility Window (default: 21): Sample window for realized volatility normalization. Liquidity Window (default: 55): Volume smoothing window that proxies liquidity expansion. Liquidity Reference TF (default: 60): Select a higher timeframe to cross-check whether current volume matches institutional flows. Adaptive Threshold (default: enabled): Disable for fixed thresholds on slower markets; enable for high-volatility assets. Base Burst Threshold (default: 1.25): Minimum flux magnitude that qualifies as an actionable pulse. ALERTS The indicator includes four alert conditions: Bull Burst: Detects upside liquidity pulses Bear Burst: Detects downside liquidity pulses Bull Divergence: Flags bullish delta divergence Bear Divergence: Flags bearish delta divergence LIMITATIONS This indicator is designed for liquid futures and equity markets. Performance may degrade in low-volume or highly illiquid instruments. The adaptive threshold system works best on timeframes where sufficient volatility history exists (typically 15-minute charts and above). Divergence signals are probabilistic and should be confirmed with price action. INSERT_CHART_SNAPSHOT_URL_HERE --- ## RangeLattice Mapper RangeLattice Mapper constructs a higher-timeframe scaffolding on any intraday chart, locking in structural highs/lows, mid/quarter grids, VWAP confluence, and live acceptance/break analytics. It provides a non-repainting overlay that turns range management into a disciplined process. HOW IT WORKS Structure Harvesting – Using request.security() , the script samples highs/lows from a user-selected timeframe (default 240 minutes) over a configurable lookback to establish the dominant range. Grid Construction – Midpoint and quarter levels are derived mathematically, mirroring how institutional traders map distribution/accumulation zones. Acceptance Detection – Consecutive closes inside the range flip an acceptance flag and darken the cloud, signaling balanced auction conditions. Break Confirmation – Multi-bar closes outside the structure raise break labels and alerts, filtering the countless fake-outs that plague breakout traders. VWAP Fan Overlay – Session VWAP plus ATR-based bands provide a live measure of flow centering relative to the lattice. HOW TO USE IT Range Plays : Fade taps of the outer rails only when acceptance is active and VWAP sits inside the grid—this is where mean-reversion works best. Breakout Plays : Wait for confirmed break labels before entering expansion trades; the dashboard's Width/ATR metric tells you if the expansion has enough fuel. Market Prep : Carry the same lattice from pre-market into regular trading hours by keeping the structure timeframe fixed; alerts keep you notified even when managing multiple tickers. VISUAL FEATURES Range Tap and Mid Pivot markers provide a tape-reading breadcrumb trail for journaling. Cloud fill opacity tightens when acceptance persists, visually signaling balance compressions ready to break. Dashboard displays absolute width, ATR-normalized width, and current state (Balanced vs Transitional) so you can glance across charts quickly. Acceptance Flag toggle: Keep the repeated acceptance squares hidden until you need to audit balance. PARAMETERS Structure Timeframe (default: 240): Choose the timeframe whose ranges matter most (4H for indices, Daily for stocks). Structure Lookback (default: 60): Bars sampled on the structure timeframe. Acceptance Bars (default: 8): How many consecutive bars inside the range confirm balance. Break Confirmation Bars (default: 3): Bars required outside the range to validate a breakout. ATR Reference (default: 14): ATR period for width normalization. Show Midpoint Grid (default: enabled): Display the midpoint and quarter levels. Show Adaptive VWAP Fan (default: enabled): Toggle the VWAP channel for assets where volume distribution matters most. Show Acceptance Flags (default: disabled): Turn the acceptance markers on/off for maximum visual control. Show Range Dashboard (default: enabled): Disable if screen space is limited, re-enable during prep sessions. ALERTS The indicator includes five alert conditions: Range High Tap: Price interacted with the RangeLattice high Range Low Tap: Price interacted with the RangeLattice low Range Mid Tap: Price interacted with the RangeLattice mid Range Break Up: Confirmed upside breakout Range Break Down: Confirmed downside breakout LIMITATIONS This indicator works best on liquid instruments with clear structural levels. On very low timeframes (1-minute and below), the structure may update too frequently to be useful. The acceptance/break confirmation system requires patience—faster traders may find the multi-bar confirmation too slow for scalping. The VWAP fan is session-based and resets daily, which may not suit all trading styles. ---

AlphaTrend++ offset labelsAlphaTrend++ Overview The AlphaTrend++ is an advanced Pine Script indicator designed to help traders identify buy and sell opportunities in trending and volatile markets. Building on trend-following principles, it uses a modified Average True Range (ATR) calculation combined with volume or momentum data to plot a dynamic trend line. The indicator overlays on the price chart, displaying a colored trend line, a filled trend zone, buy/sell signals, and optional stop-loss tick labels, making it ideal for day trading or swing trading, particularly in markets like futures (e.g., MES). What It Does This indicator generates buy and sell signals based on the direction and momentum of a custom trend line, filtered by optional time restrictions and signal frequency logic. The trend line adapts to price action and volatility, with a filled zone highlighting trend strength. Buy/sell signals are plotted as labels, and stop-loss distances are displayed in ticks (customizable for instruments like MES). The indicator supports standard chart types for realistic signal generation. How It Works The indicator employs the following components: Trend Line Calculation: A dynamic trend line is calculated using ATR adjusted by a user-defined multiplier, combined with either Money Flow Index (MFI) or Relative Strength Index (RSI) depending on volume availability. The line tracks price movements, adjusting upward or downward based on trend direction and volatility. Trend Zone: The area between the current trend line and its value two bars prior is filled, colored green for bullish trends (upward movement) or red for bearish trends (downward movement), providing a visual cue of trend strength. Signal Generation: Buy signals occur when the trend line crosses above its value two bars ago, and sell signals occur when it crosses below, with optional filtering to reduce signal noise (based on bar timing logic). Signals can be restricted to a 9:00–15:00 UTC trading window. Stop-Loss Ticks: For each signal, the indicator calculates the distance to the trend line (acting as a stop-loss level) in ticks, using a user-defined tick size (default 0.25 for MES). These are displayed as labels below/above the signal. Time Filter: An optional filter limits signals to 9:00–15:00 UTC, aligning with active trading sessions like the US market open. The indicator ensures compatibility with standard chart types (e.g., candlestick or bar charts) to avoid unrealistic results associated with non-standard types like Heikin Ashi or Renko. How to Use It Add to Chart: Apply the indicator to a candlestick or bar chart on TradingView. Configure Settings: Multiplier: Adjust the ATR multiplier (default 1.0) to control trend line sensitivity. Higher values widen the stop-loss distance. Common Period: Set the ATR and MFI/RSI period (default 14) for trend calculations. No Volume Data: Enable if volume data is unavailable (e.g., for certain forex pairs), switching from MFI to RSI. Tick Size: Set the tick size for stop-loss calculations (default 0.25 for MES futures). Show Buy/Sell Signals: Toggle signal labels (default enabled). Show Stop Loss Ticks: Toggle stop-loss tick labels (default enabled). Use Time Filter: Restrict signals to 9:00–15:00 UTC (default disabled). Use Filtered Signals: Enable to reduce signal frequency using bar timing logic (default enabled). Interpret Signals: Buy Signal: A blue “BUY” label below the bar indicates a potential long entry (trend line crossover, passing filters). Sell Signal: A red “SELL” label above the bar indicates a potential short entry (trend line crossunder, passing filters). Trend Zone: Green fill suggests bullish momentum; red fill suggests bearish momentum. Stop-Loss Ticks: Gray labels show the stop-loss distance in ticks, helping with risk management. Monitor Context: Use the trend line and filled zone to confirm the market’s direction before acting on signals. Unique Features Adaptive Trend Line: Combines ATR with MFI or RSI to create a responsive trend line that adjusts to volatility and market conditions. Tick-Based Stop-Loss: Displays stop-loss distances in ticks, customizable for specific instruments, aiding precise risk management. Signal Filtering: Optional bar timing logic reduces false signals, improving reliability in choppy markets. Trend Zone Visualization: The filled zone between trend line values enhances trend clarity, making it easier to assess momentum. Time-Restricted Trading: Optional 9:00–15:00 UTC filter aligns signals with high-liquidity sessions. Notes Use on standard candlestick or bar charts to ensure accurate signals. Test the indicator on a demo account to optimize settings for your market and timeframe. Combine with other analysis (e.g., support/resistance, volume spikes) for better decision-making. The indicator is not a standalone system; use it as part of a broader trading strategy. Limitations Signals may lag in highly volatile or low-liquidity markets due to ATR-based calculations. The 9:00–15:00 UTC time filter may not suit all markets; disable it for 24-hour assets like forex or crypto. Stop-loss tick calculations assume consistent tick sizes; verify compatibility with your instrument. This indicator is designed for traders seeking a robust, trend-following tool with customizable risk management and signal filtering, optimized for active trading sessions. This update enhances label customization, clarity, and signal usability while preserving all existing AlphaTrend++ logic. The goal is to improve readability during live trading and allow traders to personalize the visual footprint of entries and stop-loss levels. Improvements • Cleaner Label Placement Labels now maintain consistent spacing from the candle, regardless of volatility or ATR expansion. • Enhanced Visual Structure BUY/SELL signals remain bold and clear, while SL ticks use a more compact and optional sizing scheme. • Better User Control New UI inputs: Entry Label Size SL Label Size SL Label Offset (Ticks)nces.

Diff Price (Future - Spot)Diff Line (Future – Spot) plots a grid of spot-price levels derived from the current futures price. It rounds the current futures price up to the nearest price block (e.g. every 25 points), then subtracts a user‑defined Diff (Future – Spot) to find the main spot level and draws that as the central line. Additional lines are plotted above and below at equal block distances, with labels showing both Future and Spot values (e.g. 4250 (4215)), plus a compact diff info box for quick reference.
