Grok's xAI Signal (GXS) Indicator for BTC V6Grok's xAI Signal (GXS) Indicator: A Simple Guide
Imagine trying to decide if Bitcoin is a "buy," "sell," or "wait" without staring at 10 different charts. The GXS Indicator does that for you—it's like a smart dashboard for BTC traders, overlaying signals right on your price chart. It boils down complex market clues into one easy score (from -1 "super bearish" to +1 "super bullish") and flashes green/red arrows or shaded zones when action's needed. No fancy math overload; just clear visuals like tiny triangles for trades, colored clouds for trends, and a bottom "mood bar" (green=up vibe, red=down, gray=meh).
At its core, GXS mixes three big-picture checks:
Price Momentum (50% weight): Quick scans of RSI (overbought/oversold vibes), MACD (speed of ups/downs), EMAs (is price riding the trend wave?), and Bollinger Bands (is the market squeezing for a breakout?). This catches short-term "hot or not" energy.
Network Health (30% weight): A simple "NVT" hack using trading volume vs. price to spot if BTC feels undervalued (buy hint) or overhyped (sell warning). It's like checking if the crowd's too excited or chill.
Trend Strength (20% weight): ADX filter ensures signals only fire in "trending" markets (not choppy sideways noise), plus a MACD boost for extra momentum nudge.
Why this approach? BTC's wild—pure price charts give false alarms in flat times, while ignoring volume/network ignores the "why" behind moves. GXS blends old-school TA (reliable for patterns) with on-chain smarts (crypto-specific "under the hood" data) and a trend gate (skips 70% of bad trades). It's conservative: Signals need the score to cross ±0.08 and a strong trend, reducing noise for swing/position traders. Result? Fewer emotional guesses, more "wait for confirmation" patience—perfect for volatile assets like BTC where hype kills.
Quick Tips to Tweak for Better Results
Start with defaults, then experiment on historical charts (backtest via TradingView's strategy tester if pairing with one):
Fewer False Signals: Bump thresholds to ±0.15 (buy/sell)—trades only on stronger conviction, cutting whipsaws by 20-30% in choppy markets. Or raise ADX thresh to 28 for "only big trends."
Faster/Slower Response: Shorten EMAs (e.g., 5/21) or RSI (10) for quicker scalps; lengthen (12/50) for swing holds. Test on 4H/daily BTC.
Volume Sensitivity: If NVT flips too often, extend its length to 20—smooths on-chain noise in bull runs.
Visual Polish: Crank cloud opacity to 80% for subtler fills; toggle off EMAs if they clutter. Enable table for score breakdowns during live trades.
Risk Tip: Always pair with stops (e.g., 2-3% below signals). On BTC, tweak in bull markets (looser thresh) vs. bears (tighter).
In short, GXS is your BTC "sixth sense"—balanced, not black-box. Tweak small, track win rate, and let trends lead. Happy trading!

Institutional Orderflow Pro — VWAP, Delta, and Liquidity
Institutional Orderflow Pro is a next-generation order flow analysis indicator designed to help traders identify institutional participation, directional bias, and exhaustion zones in real time.
Unlike traditional volume-based indicators, it merges VWAP dynamics, cumulative delta, relative volume, and liquidity proximity into a single unified dashboard that updates tick-by-tick — without repainting.
The indicator is open-source, transparent, and educational. It aims to provide traders with a clearer read on who controls the market — buyers or sellers — and where liquidity lies.
The indicator combines multiple institutional-grade analytics into one framework:
RVOL (Relative Volume) = Compares current volume against the average of recent bars to identify strong institutional participation.
zΔ (Delta Z-Score) = Normalizes the buying/selling delta to reveal unusually aggressive market behavior.
CVDΔ (Cumulative Volume Delta Change) = Shows which side (buyers/sellers) is dominating this bar’s order flow.
VWAP Direction & Slope = Determines whether price is trading above/below VWAP and whether VWAP is trending or flat.
PD Distance (Prev Day Confluence) = Measures the current price’s distance from previous day’s high, low, close, and VWAP in ATR units — highlighting liquidity zones.
ABS/EXH Detection = Identifies institutional absorption and exhaustion patterns where momentum may reverse.
Bias Computation = Combines VWAP direction + slope to give a simplified regime signal: UP, DOWN, or FLAT.
All metrics are displayed through a color-coded, non-repainting HUD:
🟢 = bullish / favorable conditions
🔴 = bearish / weak conditions
⚫ = neutral / flat
🟡 = absorption (potential trap zone)
🟠 = exhaustion (momentum fading)
| Metric | Signal | Meaning |
| ---------------------- | ------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
| **RVOL ≥ 1.3** | 🟢 | High institutional activity — valid setup zone |
| **zΔ ≥ 1.2 / ≤ -1.2** | 🟢 / 🔴 | Unusual buy/sell aggression |
| **CVDΔ > 0** | 🟢 | Buyers dominate this bar |
| **VWAP dir ↑ / ↓** | 🟢 / 🔴 | Institutional bias long/short |
| **Slope ok = YES** | 🟢 | Trending market |
| **PD dist ≤ 0.35 ATR** | 🟢 | Near key liquidity zones |
| **Bias = UP/DOWN** | 🟢 / 🔴 | Trend-aligned environment |
| **ABS/EXH active** | 🟡 / 🟠 | Caution — possible reversal zone |
How to Use
Confirm Volume Context → RVOL > 1.2
Align with Bias → Take longs only when Bias = UP, shorts only when Bias = DOWN.
Check Slope and VWAP Dir → Ensure trending context (Slope = YES).
Confirm CVD and zΔ → Flow should agree with price direction.
Avoid ABS/EXH Triggers → These signal exhaustion or absorption by large players.
Enter Near PD Zones → Ideal trade zones are within 0.35 ATR of prior-day levels.
This multi-factor confirmation reduces noise and focuses only on high-probability institutional setups.
Originality
This script was written from scratch in Pine v6.
It does not reuse existing public indicators except for standard built-ins (ta.vwap, ta.atr, etc.).
The unique combination of delta z-scoring, VWAP slope filtering, and real-time confluence zones distinguishes it from typical orderflow tools or cumulative delta overlays.
The core innovation is its merged real-time HUD that integrates institutional metrics and natural-language feedback directly on the chart, allowing traders to read market context intuitively rather than decode multiple subplots.
Notes & Disclaimers
This indicator does not repaint.
It’s intended for educational and analytical purposes only — not as financial advice or a guaranteed signal system.
Works best on liquid instruments (Futures, Indices, FX majors).
Avoid non-standard chart types (Heikin Ashi, Renko, etc.) for accurate readings.
Open-source, modifiable, and compatible with Pine v6.
Recommended Use
Apply it with clean charts and standard candles for the best clarity.
Use alongside a basic structure or volume profile to contextualize institutional bias zones.

Triple SuperTrend + RSI + Fib BBTriple SuperTrend + RSI + Fibonacci Bollinger Bands Strategy
📊 Overview
This advanced trading strategy combines the power of three SuperTrend indicators with RSI confirmation and Fibonacci Bollinger Bands to generate high-probability trade signals. The strategy is designed to capture strong trending moves while filtering out false signals through multi-indicator confluence.
🔧 Core Components
Three SuperTrend Indicators
The strategy uses three SuperTrend indicators with progressively longer periods and multipliers:
SuperTrend 1: 10-period ATR, 1.0 multiplier (fastest, most sensitive)
SuperTrend 2: 11-period ATR, 2.0 multiplier (medium sensitivity)
SuperTrend 3: 12-period ATR, 3.0 multiplier (slowest, most stable)
This layered approach ensures that all three timeframe perspectives align before generating a signal, significantly reducing false entries.
RSI Confirmation (7-period)
The Relative Strength Index acts as a momentum filter:
Long signals require RSI > 50 (bullish momentum)
Short signals require RSI < 50 (bearish momentum)
This prevents entries during weak or divergent price action.
Fibonacci Bollinger Bands (200, 2.618)
Uses a 200-period Simple Moving Average with 2.618 standard deviation bands (Fibonacci ratio). These bands serve dual purposes:
Visual representation of price extremes
Automatic exit trigger when price reaches overextended levels
📈 Entry Logic
LONG Entry (BUY Signal)
A LONG position is opened when ALL of the following conditions are met simultaneously:
All three SuperTrend indicators turn green (bullish)
RSI(7) is above 50
This is the first bar where all conditions align (no repainting)
SHORT Entry (SELL Signal)
A SHORT position is opened when ALL of the following conditions are met simultaneously:
All three SuperTrend indicators turn red (bearish)
RSI(7) is below 50
This is the first bar where all conditions align (no repainting)
🚪 Exit Logic
Positions are automatically closed when ANY of these conditions occur:
SuperTrend Color Change: Any one of the three SuperTrend indicators changes direction
Fibonacci BB Touch: Price reaches or exceeds the upper or lower Fibonacci Bollinger Band (2.618 standard deviations)
This dual-exit approach protects profits by:
Exiting quickly when trend momentum shifts (SuperTrend change)
Taking profits at statistical price extremes (Fib BB touch)
🎨 Visual Features
Signal Arrows
Green Up Arrow (BUY): Appears below the bar when long entry conditions are met
Red Down Arrow (SELL): Appears above the bar when short entry conditions are met
Yellow Down Arrow (EXIT): Appears above the bar when exit conditions are met
Background Coloring
Light Green Tint: All three SuperTrends are bullish (uptrend environment)
Light Red Tint: All three SuperTrends are bearish (downtrend environment)
SuperTrend Lines
Three colored lines plotted with varying opacity:
Solid line (ST1): Most responsive to price changes
Semi-transparent (ST2): Medium-term trend
Most transparent (ST3): Long-term trend structure
Dashboard
Real-time information panel showing:
Individual SuperTrend status (UP/DOWN)

💡 Strategy Philosophy
This strategy is built on the principle of confluence trading - waiting for multiple independent indicators to align before taking a position. By requiring three SuperTrend indicators AND RSI confirmation, the strategy filters out the majority of low-probability setups.
The multi-timeframe SuperTrend approach ensures that short-term, medium-term, and longer-term trends are all in agreement, which typically occurs during strong, sustainable price moves.
The exit strategy is equally important, using both trend-following logic (SuperTrend changes) and mean-reversion logic (Fibonacci BB touches) to adapt to different market conditions.
📊 Best Use Cases
Trending Markets: Works best in markets with clear directional bias
Higher Timeframes: Designed for 15-minute to daily charts
Volatile Assets: SuperTrend indicators excel in assets with clear trends
Swing Trading: Hold times typically range from hours to days
⚠️ Important Notes
No Repainting: All signals are confirmed and will not change on historical bars
One Signal Per Setup: The strategy prevents duplicate signals on consecutive bars
Exit Protection: Always exits before potentially taking an opposite position
Visual Clarity: All three SuperTrend lines are visible simultaneously for transparency
🎯 Recommended Settings
While default parameters are optimized for general use, consider:
Crypto/Volatile Markets: May benefit from slightly higher multipliers
Forex: Default settings work well for major pairs
Stocks: Consider longer BB periods (250-300) for daily charts
Lower Timeframes: Reduce all periods proportionally for scalping
📝 Alerts
Built-in alert conditions for:
BUY signal triggered
SELL signal triggered
EXIT signal triggered

Inversion Fair Value Gap Signals [AlgoAlpha]🟠 OVERVIEW
This script is a custom signal tool called Inversion Fair Value Gap Signals (IFVG) , designed to detect, track, and visualize fair value gaps (FVGs) and their inversions directly on price charts. It identifies bullish and bearish imbalances, monitors when these zones are mitigated or rejected, and extends them until resolution or expiration. What makes this script original is the inclusion of inversion logic—when a gap is filled, the area flips into an opposite "inversion fair value gap," creating potential reversal or continuation zones that give traders additional context beyond classic FVG analysis.
🟠 CONCEPTS
The script builds on the Smart Money Concepts (SMC) principle of fair value gaps, where inefficiencies form when price moves too quickly in one direction. Detection requires a three-bar sequence: a strong up or down move that leaves untraded price between bar highs and lows. To refine reliability, the script adds an ATR-based size filter and prevents overlap between zones. Once created, gaps are tracked in arrays until mitigation (price closing back into the gap), expiration, or transformation into an inversion zone. Inversions act as polarity flips, where bullish gaps become bearish resistance and bearish gaps become bullish support. Lower-timeframe volume data is also displayed inside zones to highlight whether buying or selling pressure dominated during gap creation.
🟠 FEATURES
Automatic detection of bullish and bearish FVGs with ATR-based thresholding.
Inversion logic: mitigated gaps flip into opposite-colored IFVG zones.
Volume text overlay inside each zone showing up vs down volume.
Visual markers (△/▽ for FVG, ▲/▼ for IFVG) when price exits a zone without mitigation.
🟠 USAGE
Apply the indicator to any chart and enable/disable bullish or bearish FVG detection depending on your focus. Use the colored gap zones as areas of interest: bullish gaps suggest possible continuation to the upside until mitigated, while bearish gaps suggest continuation down. When a gap flips into an inversion zone, treat it as potential support/resistance—bullish IFVGs below price may act as demand, while bearish IFVGs above price may act as supply. Watch the embedded up/down volume data to gauge the strength of participants during gap formation. Use the △/▽ and ▲/▼ markers to spot when price rejects gaps or inversions without filling them, which can indicate strong trending momentum. For practical use, combine alerts with your trade plan to track when new gaps form, when old ones are resolved, or when key zones flip into inversions, helping you align entries, targets, or reversals with institutional order flow logic.

Transformer Flux DashboardHere’s a practical guide to what your Transformer Flux Dashboard does and how to use it.
What it is
A compact, two-column trading dashboard + signal pack that blends trend, MACD, and OBV into one view (“Flux Score”) and adds session awareness (pre-sessions and main sessions in Eastern time). It’s designed for regular candles by default and avoids repaint by letting you confirm on bar close.
Core pieces it calculates
Moving Averages
Two MAs: Fast (HMA/EMA) and Slow (HMA/EMA).
You choose length, line width, color, and transparency.
Trend engine (Strict/Lenient)
Uses the relation between Fast/Slow MA and a debounced fast-MA slope filter (slope > ATR×buffer).
Strict: requires fast>slow and slow rising (or the inverse for down).
Lenient: fast>slow or slow rising (or the inverse).
A confirmation window (bars) must hold true before trend flips. That window can be auto-tuned by session (Asia/London/NY) or set globally.
OBV confirmation (optional)
OBV smoothed by SMA; needs to be rising/falling for N bars (also session-aware if you enable presets).
MACD
Standard MACD Fast/Slow/Signal; the dashboard shows Bull ▲, Bear ▼ or Flat based on line vs signal.
Flux Score (top row)
A composite, smoothed gauge from 0–100:
40% Trend, 30% MACD, 30% OBV → EMA(3) smoothed.
Labels: Bullish ≥ 70, Bearish ≤ 30, otherwise Neutral.
Summary line explains why (e.g., “MACD↑, OBV↑, Trend up”).
Sessions & zones (Eastern/NY time)
Recognizes Asia / London / New York main sessions and pre-sessions using your chart’s Eastern time.
Session label (top of chart): text is white; background auto-matches the current session color (or your manual color).
Zone backgrounds (optional): off by default; when on, default transparency ≈ 95% (very light), with separate colors for each session and pre-session. A toggle lets you draw pre-session on top or beneath main sessions.
Signals & markers
Two strength tiers: Strong (Trend + OBV + MACD aligned) and Weak (2 of the 3 agree).
To reduce clutter, markers only appear on direction shifts (from last visible direction to a new one), and you can enforce a minimum bar gap.
Marker style:
Default Icons with LabelUp/LabelDown (tiny).
Colors: strong long = bright white by default; others configurable.
Weak markers are slightly offset from price using ATR so they don’t overlap wicks.
Dashboard (2-column)
Left column = label, right column = value:
Flux Score: numeric + Bullish/Neutral/Bearish tag.
Summary: short reason of the score.
Trend: UP / DOWN / FLAT (cell tinted green/red/gray).
MACD: Bull ▲ / Bear ▼ / Flat (tinted).
Signal: last printed signal + bar age (fresh signals get a lighter tint).
MA: slow MA type/length and up/down arrow.
Sess: current session label (e.g., “Pre-London”, “New York”).
VIX / VXN (optional): shows current value.
Auto tint: based on calm/watch/elevated thresholds (you control levels and colors).
Manual tint: fixed BG color if you prefer consistency.
Params: “P”=trend bars, “O”=OBV bars, mode (Strict/Lenient), and “Candles”.
You can set a global Default Transparency for the dashboard cells.
Key settings to know
Confirm On Close: when on (default), trend/OBV/MACD states use the last confirmed bar; this avoids mid-bar flicker and reduces repaint risk.
Session presets: when enabled, the number of bars required for confirmations tightens/loosens per session (e.g., Asia uses more bars than NY).
Colors & Opacity:
MA lines have their own transparency (default 0 = fully opaque).
Dashboard cells use a single global transparency (default 40%).
Session zones default to very light (95%) and are off by default.
VIX/VXN cells can auto-color by regime or use a manual background.
Markers:
“Icons” vs “Ticks.” Default is Icons with tiny labels up/down.
“Shift only” display reduces noise; you can also set min bar spacing.
How to read it (quick workflow)
Flux Score row: a fast “risk-on/off” gauge.
≥70 with green Trend/MACD cells → higher-conviction long context.
≤30 with red Trend/MACD cells → higher-conviction short context.
Summary explains why the score is what it is.
Signal row: tells you the last official signal and how many bars ago it fired. Fresh signals tint lighter.
MA row: aligns your slow baseline; arrow helps spot slow-turns early.
Sess row + label: know which market is active; behavior and your confirmation bars adapt by session if presets are on.
VIX/VXN (if enabled): extra context for risk regime (values and color band).
Good practices & caveats
It’s confirmation-based to reduce false flips; you’ll get signals slightly later, by design.
All signals are informational; there’s no position management or stops in this build (we removed the stop visuals by request).
If you switch to exotic chart types or extreme resolutions, re-tune lengths and confirmation bars (and potentially disable session presets).
For scalping, consider reducing confirmation bars and OBV smoothing; for higher timeframes, increase them.
Quick customization ideas
Want faster flips? Lower confirmBars and obvBars, increase slope buffer a bit to retain quality.
Want fewer weak signals? Show only strong markers (toggle off weak via colors/visibility or increase min bar gap).
Prefer EMA stacking? Set both Fast/Slow to EMA.
Don’t care about OBV? Turn OBV confirm off; Trend + MACD will drive
TRAPPER TRENDLINES — RSIBuilds dynamic RSI trendlines by connecting the two most recent confirmed RSI swing points (highs→highs for resistance, lows→lows for support). Includes optional channel shading for the 30–70 zone, an RSI moving average, clean break alerts, and simple bullish/bearish divergence alerts versus price.
How it works
RSI pivots: A point on RSI is a swing high/low only if it is the most extreme value compared with a set number of bars on the left and the right (the Pivot Lookback).
RSI trendlines:
Resistance connects the last two confirmed RSI swing highs.
Support connects the last two confirmed RSI swing lows.
Lines can be Full Extend (update into the future) or Pivot Only.
Channel block: Optional fill of the 30–70 range for fast visual context.
Alerts:
Breaks of RSI support/resistance trendlines.
Basic bullish/bearish RSI divergences versus price pivots.
Inputs
RSI
RSI Length: Default 14 (standard).
Pivot Lookback: Bars to the left/right required to confirm an RSI swing.
Overbought / Oversold: 70 / 30 by default.
Line Extension: Full Extend or Pivot Only.
Visuals
Show RSI Moving Average / Signal Length: Optional smoothing line on RSI.
RSI/Signal colors: Customize plot colors.
Show 30–70 Channel Block: Toggle the middle-zone fill.
Tint pane background when RSI in channel: Optional subtle background when RSI is between OB/OS.
Divergences & Alerts
Enable RSI TL Break Alerts: Alert conditions for RSI line breaks.
Enable Divergence Alerts: Bullish/Bearish divergence alerts versus price.
Pairing with price for confluence/divergence
For accurate confluence and clearer divergences, align this RSI tool with your price trendline tool (for example, TRAPPER TRENDLINES — PRICE):
Set RSI Pivot Lookback equal to the Pivot Left/Right size used on price.
Example: Price uses Pivot Left = 50 and Pivot Right = 50 → set RSI Pivot Lookback = 50.
Keep RSI Length = 14 and OB/OS = 70/30 unless you have a specific edge.
Interpretation:
Confluence: Price reacts at its trendline while RSI reacts at its own line in the same direction.
Divergence: Price makes a higher high while RSI makes a lower high (bearish), or price makes a lower low while RSI makes a higher low (bullish), using matched pivot windows.
Suggested settings
Higher timeframes (4H / 1D / 1W): Pivot Lookback = 50; optional RSI MA length 14; channel block ON.
Intraday (15m / 30m / 1H): Pivot Lookback = 30; optional RSI MA length 14.
Always mirror your price pivot size to this RSI Pivot Lookback for consistent swings.
Reading the signals
RSI trendline touch/hold: Momentum reacting at structure; look for confluence with price levels.
RSI Trendline Break Up / Down: Momentum shift; consider price structure and retests.
Bullish/Bearish Divergence: Confirm only when pivots are matched and the new swing is confirmed.
Notes & limitations
Pivots require future bars to confirm by design; trendlines update as new swings confirm.
Divergence logic compares RSI pivots to price pivots with the same lookback; mismatched windows can produce false positives.
No strategy entries/exits or performance claims are provided. This is an analytical tool.
Alerts (titles/messages)
RSI: Trendline Break Up — “RSI broke falling resistance line.”
RSI: Trendline Break Down — “RSI broke rising support line.”
RSI: Bullish Divergence — “Bullish RSI divergence confirmed.”
RSI: Bearish Divergence — “Bearish RSI divergence confirmed.”
Quick start
Add the indicator to a separate pane.
Set Pivot Lookback to match your price tool’s pivot size (e.g., 50).
Optionally toggle the RSI MA and Channel Block for clarity.
Enable alerts if you want notifications on RSI line breaks and divergences.
Use with TRAPPER TRENDLINES — PRICE or any price-based trendline tool for confluence/divergence analysis.

Intrabar Volume Delta — RealTime + History (Stocks/Crypto/Forex)Intrabar Volume Delta Grid — RealTime + History (Stocks/Crypto/Forex)
# Short Description
Shows intrabar Up/Down volume, Delta (absolute/relative) and UpShare% in a compact grid for both real-time and historical bars. Includes an MTF (M1…D1) dashboard, contextual coloring, density controls, and alerts on Δ and UpShare%. Smart historical splitting (“History Mode”) for Crypto/Futures/FX.
---
# What it does (Quick)
* **UpVol / DownVol / Δ / UpShare%** — visualizes order-flow inside each candle.
* **Real-time** — accumulates intrabar volume live by tick-direction.
* **History Mode** — splits Up/Down on closed bars via simple or range-aware logic.
* **MTF Dashboard** — one table view across M1, M5, M15, M30, H1, H4, D1 (Vol, Up/Down, Δ%, Share, Trend).
* **Contextual opacity** — stronger signals appear bolder.
* **Label density** — draw every N-th bar and limit to last X bars for performance.
* **Alerts** — thresholds for |Δ|, Δ%, and UpShare%.
---
# How it works (Real-Time vs History)
* **Real-time (open bar):** volume increments into **UpVolRT** or **DownVolRT** depending on last price move (↑ goes to Up, ↓ to Down). This approximates live order-flow even when full tick history isn’t available.
* **History (closed bars):**
* **None** — no split (Up/Down = 0/0). Safest for equities/indices with unreliable tick history.
* **Approx (Close vs Open)** — all volume goes to candle direction (green → Up 100%, red → Down 100%). Fast but yields many 0/100% bars.
* **Price Action Based** — splits by Close position within High-Low range; strength = |Close−mid|/(High−Low). Above mid → more Up; below mid → more Down. Falls back to direction if High==Low.
* **Auto** — **Stocks/Index → None**, **Crypto/Futures/FX → Approx**. If you see too many 0/100 bars, switch to **Price Action Based**.
---
# Rows & Meaning
* **Volume** — total bar volume (no split).
* **UpVol / DownVol** — directional intrabar volume.
* **Delta (Δ)** — UpVol − DownVol.
* **Absolute**: raw units
* **Relative (Δ%)**: Δ / (Up+Down) × 100
* **Both**: shows both formats
* **UpShare%** — UpVol / (Up+Down) × 100. >50% bullish, <50% bearish.
* Helpful icons: ▲ (>65%), ▼ (<35%).
---
# MTF Dashboard (🔧 Enable Dashboard)

# How to use (Quick Start)
1. Add the indicator to your chart (overlay=false → separate pane).
2. **History Mode**:
* Crypto/Futures/FX → keep **Auto** or switch to **Price Action Based** for richer history.
* Stocks/Index → prefer **None** or **Price Action Based** for safer splits.
3. **Label Density**: start with **Limit to last X bars = 30–150** and **Show every N-th bar = 2–4**.
4. **Contextual Coloring**: keep on to emphasize strong Δ% / Share moves.
5. **Dashboard**: enable and pick only the TFs you actually use.
6. **Alerts**: set thresholds (ideas below).
---
# Alerts (in TradingView)
Add alert → pick this indicator → choose any of:
* **Delta exceeds threshold** (|Δ| > X)
* **UpShare above threshold** (UpShare% > X)
* **UpShare below threshold** (UpShare% < X)
* **Relative Delta above +X%**
* **Relative Delta below −X%**
**Starter thresholds (tune per symbol & TF):**
* **Crypto M1/M5**: Δ% > +25…35 (bullish), Δ% < −25…−35 (bearish)
* **FX (tick volume)**: UpShare > 60–65% or < 40–35%
* **Stocks (liquid)**: set **Absolute Δ** by typical volume scale (e.g., 50k / 100k / 500k)
---
# Notes by Market Type
* **Crypto/Futures**: 24/7 and high liquidity — **Price Action Based** often gives nicer history splits than Approx.
* **Forex (FX)**: TradingView volume is typically **tick volume** (not true exchange volume). Treat Δ/Share as tick-based flow, still very useful intraday.
* **Stocks/Index**: historical tick detail can be limited. **None** or **Price Action Based** is a safer default. If you see too many 0/100% shares, switch away from Approx.
---
# “All Timeframes” accuracy
* Works on **any TF** (M1 → D1/W1).
* **Real-time accuracy** is strong for the open bar (live accumulation).
* **Historical accuracy** depends on your **History Mode** (None = safest, Approx = fastest/simplest, Price Action Based = more nuanced).
* The MTF dashboard uses `request.security` and therefore follows the same logic per TF.
---
# Trade Ideas (Use-Cases)
* **Scalping (M1–M5)**: a spike in Δ% + UpShare>65% + rising total Vol → momentum entries.
* **Intraday (M5–M30–H1)**: when multiple TFs show aligned Δ%/Share (e.g., M5 & M15 bullish), join the trend.
* **Swing (H4–D1)**: persistent Δ% > 0 and UpShare > 55–60% → structural accumulation bias.
---
# Advantages
* **True-feeling live flow** on the open bar.
* **Adaptable history** (three modes) to match data quality.
* **Clean visual layout** with guides, compact numbers, contextual opacity.
* **MTF snapshot** for quick bias read.
* **Performance controls** (last X bars, every N-th bar).
---
# Limitations & Care
* **FX uses tick volume** — interpret Δ/Share accordingly.
* **History Mode is an approximation** — confirm with trend/structure/liquidity context.
* **Illiquid symbols** can produce noisy or contradictory signals.
* **Too many labels** can slow charts → raise N, lower X, or disable guides.
---
# Best Practices (Checklist)
* Crypto/Futures: prefer **Price Action Based** for history.
* Stocks: **None** or **Price Action Based**; be cautious with **Approx**.
* FX: pair Δ% & UpShare% with session context (London/NY) and volatility.
* If labels overlap: tweak **Row Spacing** and **Text Size**.
* In the dashboard, keep only the TFs you actually act on.
* Alerts: start around **Δ% 25–35** for “punchy” moves, then refine per asset.

# FAQ
**1) Why do some closed bars show 0%/100% UpShare?**
You’re on **Approx** history mode. Switch to **Price Action Based** for smoother splits.
**2) Δ% looks strong but price doesn’t move — why?**
Δ% is an **order-flow** measure. Price also depends on liquidity pockets, sessions, news, higher-timeframe structure. Use confirmations.
**3) Performance slowdown — what to do?**
Lower **Limit to last X bars** (e.g., 30–100), increase **Show every N-th bar** (2–6), or disable **Draw Guide Lines**.
**4) Dashboard values don’t “match” the grid exactly?**
Dashboard is multi-TF via `request.security` and follows the history logic per TF. Differences are normal.

Ribbon — multi-MA trend bandsRibbon paints five translucent bands between six moving averages to visualize trend structure and regime at a glance. You can choose the MA type (EMA/SMA/WMA), customize lengths, and switch the coloring logic between an anchor-based mode and strict alignment.
What it shows
Six MAs on the current timeframe (defaults: 5 / 34 / 55 / 89 / 144 / 233).
Five bands filled between consecutive MAs:
5–34, 34–55, 55–89, 89–144, 144–233.
Optional plotting of MA lines (hidden by default to keep the chart clean).
Coloring modes
1. By EMA233 (Anchor mode)
Each band is colored Up or Down by comparing its upper MA to the anchor (the 6th MA in inputs, default length 233).
If MA > anchor → Up color (supportive regime).
If MA < anchor → Down color (resistive regime).
2. By Alignment
All bands share one color depending on strict ordering:
Up if MA1 > MA2 > MA3 > MA4 > MA5 > MA6
Down if MA1 < MA2 < MA3 < MA4 < MA5 < MA6
Gray otherwise (no clean alignment).
Inputs (key)
MA Type : EMA / SMA / WMA (applies to all six MAs).
MA 1…MA 6 (anchor) : lengths for each average (defaults form a classic ribbon up to 233).
Up/Down colors : band palette.
Base transparency / step : controls band opacity gradient (top band uses Base, each next band adds Step).
Show MA lines + Lines transparency : optionally draw the six MA curves.
How to read it
Directional bias : when most bands are green (anchor mode) or the whole ribbon is green (alignment mode), momentum favors the upside; red implies downside pressure.
Quality of trend : a persistent alignment (all ordered) signals a cleaner trend. Mixed/gray suggests chop or transition.
Pullback zones : price returning toward inner bands can mark areas to watch for continuation vs. failure.
Implementation notes
No higher-timeframe data, no lookahead — this is a non-repainting, current-TF visualization.
Bands still render even when MA lines are hidden (the script uses hidden plot anchors under the hood).
This is an indicator , not a strategy — it does not open/close trades or calculate P&L.

Spice • Micro Suite (T/r & B/r)What it is
A single Pine v5 indicator that stacks:
EMA ribbon + a “special” EMA (11 vs 34) line that flips color on trend.
MTF-RSI “pressure” check with simple up/down arrows.
Bollinger-Band re-entry system with Top/Bottom triggers (T/B) and confirmations (r) in the next N bars.
Classic candlestick add-ons: 3-Line Strike and Leledc exhaustion dots.
Your Micro Dots engine (ATR-based regime + Variable Moving Average filter) + an optional VMA trend line.
Alerts for all the above.
Key signals (what prints on the chart)
EMAs (20/50/100/200): plotted faintly; EMA-34 is drawn and colored by the 11>34 trend.
RSI arrows
Checks RSI(6) on the current TF and (optionally) 5m/15m/30m/1h/4h/1D.
Down arrow: current RSI > 70 and the selected higher TF RSIs are also > 70 (pressure cluster just cooled; barssince(redZone)<2).
Up arrow: current RSI < 30 and selected higher TFs also < 30 (barssince(greenZone)<2).
Bollinger Reversals (your update)
T (Top trigger): first close back inside the upper BB (crossunder(close, upper)).
B (Bottom trigger): first close back inside the lower BB (crossover(close, lower)).
r (Confirm): within the next confirmBars bars (input), price also
closes below the T-bar’s low → top r above bar
closes above the B-bar’s high → bottom r below bar
Bar tinting
Only the T/B trigger bars are tinted (yellow/orange). Everything else stays your normal candle colors (unless you add the optional “trend candles” block I gave you).
3-Line Strike
Prints a small green/red circle when the 3-line strike pattern appears (bull/bear).
Leledc Exhaustion
Calculates a running buy/sell index; prints a small ∘ at major highs/lows when exhaustion conditions hit (major==-1 high, major==1 low).
Micro Dots (your second script, merged)
ATR “micro supertrend” defines regime (up/down).
A fast Variable Moving Average + a simple MA(18) filter.
Green dot below bar when: VMA < price, price > MA(18), regime up, and VMA not pointing down.
Red dot above bar for the bearish mirror.
Separate VMA trend line (length = Fast/Med/Slow) that colors green/red/orange by slope.
Inputs you’ll care about
Top/Bot Reversal → confirmBars (how many bars you allow to confirm the T/B trigger).
RSI Timeframes → toggle which HTFs must agree with the OB/OS condition.
EMAs → show/hide and lengths.
BB → show/hide basis/bands (used for T/B even if hidden).
Micro → show dots, show VMA line, choose intensity (Fast/Med/Slow).
Alerts
Prebuilt alerts for: RSI Up/Down, T/B triggers, T/B confirmations, 3-Line Strike bull/bear, Leledc highs/lows, EMA crosses (20/50/100/200), the special 11/34 trend change, Micro Dots, and VMA price cross. (Alert messages are const strings so they compile cleanly.)
How to read clusters (quick playbook)
Reversal short: see T on/near upper band → get an r within your window → bonus confidence if an RSI down arrow or Leledc ∘ high shows up around the same time.
Reversal long: mirror with B then r, plus RSI up arrow / Leledc ∘ low.
Continuation: ignore lone T/B if Micro Dot stays green (or red) and EMA-11 > EMA-34 remains true.
Why your candles look “normal”
By design, the script only colors bars on T or B trigger bars. If you want always-on trend candles, use the small block I gave you to color by EMA(20/50) (or any rule you like) and let T/B override on trigger bars.
DeltaTrace ForecastDeltaTrace Forecast is a forward-looking projection tool that visualizes the probable directional path of price using a multi-timeframe momentum model rooted in volatility-adjusted nonlinear dynamics. Rather than relying on traditional indicators that react to price after the fact, DeltaTrace estimates future price motion by tracing the progression of momentum changes across expanding timeframes—then scaling those deltas using adaptive volatility to forecast a plausible path forward.
At its core, DeltaTrace constructs a momentum vector from a series of smoothed z-scores derived from increasing multiples of the current chart's timeframe. These z-scores are normalized using a hyperbolic tangent function (tanh), which compresses extreme values and emphasizes meaningful deviations without being overly sensitive to outliers. This nonlinear normalization ensures that explosive moves are weighted with less distortion, while still preserving the shape and direction of the underlying trend.
Once the z-scores are calculated for a range of 12 timeframes (from 1× the current timeframe up to 12×), the indicator computes the first difference between each adjacent pair. These differences—or deltas—represent the change in momentum from one timeframe to the next. In this structure, a strong positive delta implies momentum is strengthening as we look into higher timeframes, while a negative delta reflects waning or reversing strength.
However, not all deltas are treated equally. To make the projection adaptive to market volatility and temporally meaningful, each delta is scaled by the square root of its corresponding timeframe multiple, weighted by the ATR (Average True Range) of the base timeframe. This square-root volatility scaling mirrors the behavior of Brownian motion and reflects the natural geometric diffusion of price over time. By applying this scaling, the model tempers its forecast according to recent volatility while maintaining proportional distance over longer time horizons.
The result is a chain of projected price steps—11 in total—starting from the current closing price. These steps are cumulative, meaning each one builds upon the previous, forming a continuously adjusted polyline that represents the most recent forecast path of price. Each point in the forecast line is directional: if the next projected point is above the last, the segment is colored green (upward momentum); if below, it is colored red (downward momentum). This color coding gives immediate visual feedback on the nature of the projected path and allows for intuitive at-a-glance interpretation.
What makes DeltaTrace unique is its combination of ideas from signal processing, time-series momentum analysis, and volatility theory. Instead of relying on static support/resistance levels or lagging moving averages, it dynamically adapts to both momentum curvature and volatility structure. This allows it to be used not just for trend confirmation, but also for top-down bias fading, reversal anticipation, and path-following strategies.
Traders can use DeltaTrace in a variety of ways depending on their style:
For trend traders, a consistent upward or downward curve in the forecast suggests directional continuation and can be used for position sizing or confirmation of bias.
For mean-reversion traders, exaggerated divergence between the current price and the first few forecast points may indicate temporary exhaustion or overextension.
For scalpers or intraday traders, the short-term bend or flattening of the initial segments can reveal early signs of weakening momentum or build-up before breakout.
For swing traders, the full shape of the polyline gives an evolving map of market rhythm across time compression, allowing for context-aware decision-making.
It’s important to understand that this is a path projection tool, not a precise price target predictor. The forecast does not attempt to predict exact price levels at exact bars, but rather illustrates how the market might evolve if the current multi-timeframe momentum structure persists. Like all models, it should be interpreted probabilistically and used in conjunction with other confirmation signals, risk management tools, or strategy frameworks.
Inputs allow customization of the z-score calculation length and ATR window to tune the sensitivity of the model. The color scheme for up/down forecast segments can also be adjusted for personal preference. Additionally, users can toggle the polyline forecast on or off, which may be useful for pairing this indicator with others in a crowded chart layout.
Because the forecast path is calculated only on the last bar, it does not repaint or shift once the candle closes—preserving historical accuracy for visual inspection and backtesting reference. However, it is also sensitive to changes in volatility and momentum structure, meaning it updates each bar as conditions evolve, making it most effective in real-time decision support.
DeltaTrace Forecast is particularly well-suited for traders who want a deeper understanding of hidden momentum shifts across timeframes without relying on traditional trend-following tools. It reveals the shape of future possibility based on present dynamics, offering a compact yet powerful visualization of directional bias, transition risk, and path strength.
To maximize its utility, consider pairing DeltaTrace with volume profiles, order flow tools, higher timeframe zones, or market structure indicators. Used in context, it becomes a powerful companion to both systematic and discretionary trading styles—especially for those who appreciate a blend of mathematics and intuition in their market analysis.
This indicator is not based on magic or black-box logic; every component—from the z-score standardization to the volatility-adjusted deltas—is fully transparent and grounded in simple, interpretable mechanics. If you're looking for a reliable way to visualize multi-timeframe bias and momentum diffusion, DeltaTrace provides a unique lens through which to interpret future potential in an ever-shifting market landscape.
Markov Chain Trend ProbabilityA Markov Chain is a mathematical model that predicts future states based on the current state, assuming that the future depends only on the present (not the past). Originally developed by Russian mathematician Andrey Markov, this concept is widely used in:
Finance: Risk modeling, portfolio optimization, credit scoring, algorithmic trading
Weather Forecasting: Predicting sunny/rainy days, temperature patterns, storm tracking
Here's an example of a Markov chain: If the weather is sunny, the probability that will be sunny 30 min later is say 90%. However, if the state changes, i.e. it starts raining, how the probability that will be raining 30 min later is say 70% and only 30% sunny.
Similar concept can be applied to markets price action and trends.
Mathematical Foundation
The core principle follows the Markov Property: P(X_{t+1}|X_t, X_{t-1}, ..., X_0) = P(X_{t+1}|X_t)
Transition Matrix :
-------------Next State
Current----
--------P11 P12
-----P21 P22
Probability Calculations:
P(Up→Up) = Count(Up→Up) / Count(Up states)
P(Down→Down) = Count(Down→Down) / Count(Down states)
Steady-state probability: π = πP (where π is the stationary distribution)
State Definition:
State = UPTREND if (Price_t - Price_{t-n})/ATR > threshold
State = DOWNTREND if (Price_t - Price_{t-n})/ATR < -threshold
How It Works in Trading
This indicator applies Markov Chain theory to market trends by:
Defining States: Classifies market conditions as UPTREND or DOWNTREND based on price movement relative to ATR (Average True Range)
Learning Transitions: Analyzes historical data to calculate probabilities of moving from one state to another
Predicting Probabilities: Estimates the likelihood of future trend continuation or reversal
How to Use
Parameters:
Lookback Period: Number of bars to analyze for trend detection (default: 14)
ATR Threshold: Sensitivity multiplier for state changes (default: 0.5)
Historical Periods: Sample size for probability calculations (default: 33)
Trading Applications:
Trend confirmation for entry/exit decisions
Risk assessment through probability analysis
Market regime identification
Early warning system for potential trend reversals
The indicator works on any timeframe and asset class. Enjoy!

WVAD with Gap Compensation**Indicator Name:** WVAD with Gap Compensation
**Purpose:** Enhances the classic Williams Vix Fix (WVAD) by incorporating the impact of price gaps (jump ups/downs) in its calculation.
**Key Features:**
1. **Gap Detection:** Automatically identifies significant gaps (default: >0.5% from prior bar's high/low).
2. **Gap Compensation:** Adjusts the WVAD calculation by adding the gap size to the daily price change.
3. **Dynamic Weighting:** Applies a multiplier (1.2x or 1.5x) to the WVAD value on days with medium/large gaps (based on ATR).
4. **Visualization:**
- Plots the enhanced WVAD line (blue) and optionally the original WVAD (gray circles).
- Marks gap events with colored arrows (green ▲ for gap up, red ▼ for gap down) and connects the gap's impact with dashed lines.
- Includes a zero line for reference.
**Use Cases:**
- Gauges the true strength of money flow by accounting for gaps.
- Identifies potential trend shifts around gap events.
- Filters noise by focusing on significant gaps.
**Parameters:**
- `Accumulation Period`: Number of days to sum WVAD (default: 12).
- `Gap Threshold (%)`: Minimum gap size to trigger compensation (default: 0.5%).
- `Show Original WVAD`: Toggles display of the classic WVAD.

BTC Transaction Indicator Name: "Bitcoin On-Chain Volume & Dynamic Parabolic Curve Signals"
Purpose:
This indicator is designed for Bitcoin traders and long-term holders. It combines the analysis of Bitcoin's on-chain transaction volume with price action to generate "Whale" and "Bear" signals. Additionally, it features a unique dynamic parabolic curve that acts as a visual support line, adapting its visibility based on price interaction with a key Exponential Moving Average (EMA).
Key Components:
On-Chain Volume Analysis:
Utilizes Estimated Transaction Volume (ETRAV) data from the Bitcoin blockchain.
Calculates fast and slow Simple Moving Averages (SMAs) of this volume.
Identifies volume trends (up/down) and significant volume increases/decreases.
Employs fixed thresholds (2,500,000 for low volume and 25,000,000 for high volume) to define key activity levels, similar to how historical on-chain analysis defined accumulation and distribution zones.
Price Action Analysis:
Calculates fast and slow SMAs of the price.
Detects price trends (up/down), recoveries, and declines based on these price SMAs.
"Whale" and "Bear" Signals:
Whale Signals (Buy-side): Generated when there's an upward volume trend, significant volume increase, and a downward price trend followed by price recovery. These indicate potential accumulation phases.
Bear Signals (Sell-side): Generated when there's a downward volume trend, significant volume decrease, and an upward price trend followed by price decline. These indicate potential distribution phases.
Visuals: Both types of signals are plotted as small, colored circles directly on the price chart, with corresponding text labels ("Whale," "Buy," "Bear," "Sell," "Price Recovering," "Price Declining").
Dynamic Parabolic Curve:
Concept: A green parabolic (exponential) curve that serves as a dynamic visual support line.
Activation: The curve starts drawing automatically only when the price crosses over the EMA 500 (Exponential Moving Average of 500 periods). The curve's starting point is set at a user-defined percentage below the EMA 500 value at that exact crossover point.
Visibility: The curve remains visible and continues its trajectory only as long as the price stays above the EMA 500.
Deactivation: The curve disappears instantly if the price falls below or equals the EMA 500. It will only reappear if the price crosses above the EMA 500 again.
Customization: The curve's steepness (Tasa Crecimiento Curva) and its initial distance from the EMA 500 (Inicio Curva % por debajo de EMA500) are adjustable.
Dynamic Label: A "Parabólico" text label is plotted near the center of the active curve segment, with an adjustable vertical offset to ensure it stays visually appealing below the curve.
What is PLOTTED on the chart:
The small, colored circle signals for Whale/Buy and Bear/Sell activity.
The green dynamic parabolic curve.
What is NOT PLOTTED:
EMA 200, EMA 500 lines (though they are calculated internally for logic).
Raw volume data or volume Moving Averages (these are only used for signal calculation, not plotted).
Ideal for:
Bitcoin traders and investors focused on long-term trends and cycle analysis, who want visual cues for accumulation/distribution phases based on on-chain activity, complemented by a unique, dynamically appearing parabolic support curve.
Important Notes:
Relies on the availability of external on-chain data (QUANDL:BCHAIN) within TradingView.
Functions best on a daily timeframe for optimal on-chain data relevance.
Open Interest Footprint IQ [TradingIQ]Hello Traders!
Th e Open Interest Footprint IQ indicator is an advanced visualization tool designed for cryptocurrency markets. It provides a granular, real-time breakdown of open interest changes across different price levels, allowing traders to see how aggressive market participation is distributed within each bar.
Unlike standard footprint charts that rely solely on volume, this indicator offers unique insights by focusing on the interaction between price action and changes in open interest (OI) — a leading metric often used to infer trader intent and positioning.
How it works
The Open Interest Footprint IQ processes lower timeframe price and open interest data to build a footprint-style chart that shows how traders are positioning themselves within each candle.
Here’s a breakdown of the process:
1. Granular OI & Price Sampling
The script retrieves lower-timeframe data (1-minute, 1-second, or 1-tick, based on your setting).
For each candle, it captures:
High and low prices
Price change direction
Change in open interest (OI)
2. Classifying Trader Behavior
For each lower-timeframe segment, the indicator determines the type of positioning occurring based on price movement and OI change:
If price is moving up and open interest is increasing, it suggests that long positions are being opened. This is considered a "Longs Opening" event, labeled as UU (Up/Up).
If price is moving up but open interest is decreasing, it indicates that short positions are being closed. This is referred to as UD (Up/Down), or "Shorts Closing."
If price is moving down and open interest is increasing, it signals that short positions are being opened. This is known as DU (Down/Up), or "Shorts Opening."
If price is moving down while open interest is also decreasing, it means that long positions are being closed. This is labeled as DD (Down/Down), or "Longs Closing."
These are stored in separate arrays and displayed at specific price levels.
It is particularly useful for identifying:
Where longs or shorts are opening/closing positions
Stacked imbalances (indicative of potential absorption or exhaustion)
Value area zones and POC (Point of Control) based on OI, not volume
This footprint runs on your choice of sub-bar granularity and is ideal for high-frequency trading, scalping, and entries based on order flow dynamics.
Key Features
Footprint Visualization
At each price level within a candle:
Long/short opening and closing behavior is broken down.
Delta (net open interest change) is displayed both numerically and color-coded.
Optional gradient coloring shows intensity and type of flow (longs/shorts opened/closed).
Cumulative or per-bar reset modes allow you to track OI evolution over time.
The image above explains the information that each Footprint box shows across a candlestick!
Each footprint box shows:
OI Delta
OI Delta %
Longs Opened (LO)
Longs Closed (LC)
Shorts Opened (SO)
Shorts Closed (SC)
The image above explains the color-coding feature of the indicator.
Boxes are color coded to show which position action
dominated at the price area.
For this example:
Green boxes = Long positions being opened dominated
Purple boxes = Long positions being closed dominated
Red boxes = Short positions being opened dominated
Yellow boxes = Short positions being closed dominated
All colors are customizable.
Additionally, for traders who are only interested in whether OI increased/decreased, a "two-color" option is available in the settings.
For the two-color option, footprint boxes can be one of two colors. Showing whether OI increased or decreased at the level.
Cumulative Levels
Open Interest Footprint IQ contains a "Cumulative Levels" feature that tracks/stores open interest change at tick levels over time, rather than resetting per bar.
With the "Cumulative Levels" feature enabled, traders can see open interest changes persist across all candlesticks. This feature is useful for determining whether longs opening, longs closing, shorts opening, or shorts closing are dominating at particular price areas over time rather than on a single bar.
A useful feature to see if shorts/longs are favoring certain price throughout the day, week, month, etc.
Input Settings Explained
Granularity (Dropdown: Granularity)
Options: 1-Minute, 1-Second, 1-Tick
Determines how finely the script samples the lower timeframe data to construct the footprint.
For precision:
1-Tick = Highest accuracy, but more resource-intensive.
1-Second/1-Minute = Suitable for broader or more zoomed-out analysis.
Tick Level Distance (Tick Level Distance (0 = Auto))
Defines the vertical spacing between levels in the footprint chart.
If 0, the script uses an automatic calculation based on ATR to adapt to volatility.
Set a manual value (e.g., 5) to control the height granularity of each level in ticks.
Cumulative Levels (Toggle)
If enabled, the footprint builds cumulatively over time, rather than resetting per candle.
Use case: Visualize ongoing buildup of OI activity across a session or day.
Cumulative Levels Reset TF (Timeframe)
Sets the reset interval for the cumulative view (e.g., reset daily, hourly, etc.)
Works only when Cumulative Levels is enabled.
Delta Box Display Settings
Show Delta Percentage
Toggles the display of the percentage change in OI across the footprint level.
Helpful to gauge how aggressive positioning is relative to total OI at that level.
Show Longs/Shorts (Opened/Closed)
Show Longs Opened: Displays OI increase in up candles (price ↑, OI ↑).
Show Longs Closed: Displays OI decrease in down candles (price ↓, OI ↓).
Show Shorts Opened: OI increase in down candles (price ↓, OI ↑).
Show Shorts Closed: OI decrease in up candles (price ↑, OI ↓).
These behaviors are color-coded to give traders instant context:
Blue-green for longs opening.
Purple for longs closing.
Red for shorts opening.
Yellow for shorts closing.
Value Area & POC
Value Area % (Value Area %)
Controls how much cumulative open interest is used to define the value area.
Example: 70% means the smallest range of prices that contains 70% of total OI in that bar will be marked.
Helps identify zones of interest, support/resistance, and institutional levels.
The image above explains how to identify the VAH/VAL/POC shown by Open Interest Footprint IQ.
VAH = Upper 🞂
POC = ●
VAL = Lower 🞂
Imbalances
Imbalance Percentage
Defines the minimum delta % required at a level to be marked as an imbalance.
If the net open interest change at a level exceeds this threshold, a visual marker appears.
Stacked Imbalance Count
If the number of consecutive imbalance levels meets this count, a “Stacked Imbalance” alert will trigger.
This can signal aggressive buying or selling pressure, potential breakout zones, or institutional absorption.
Color Settings
Longs Opened / Closed, Shorts Opened / Closed
Customize the color palette for each order flow behavior.
These colors appear in the background gradient of the footprint boxes.
Up/Down Only Mode
Toggle to override all behavior-based colors with a single Up Color and Down Color.
Useful if you prefer a simple bull/bear view.
Up Color / Down Color
If "Up/Down Only" is enabled, these two colors are used to represent all net positive or negative deltas.
Special Notes
Crypto only: This script works only with crypto tickers on TradingView.
For other assets (stocks, futures), a warning message will appear instead.
OI data must be available from the exchange (many perpetual pairs support this).
If the footprint is too small or invisible, increase your tick level spacing in the settings.
Alerts
When a stacked imbalance is detected, an alert is fired ("Stacked Imbalance").
This feature is useful for automated systems, bots, or simply staying informed of potential trade setups.
And that's all for now!

Thank you traders!
Yelober_Momentum_BreadthMI# Yelober_Momentum_BreadthMI: Market Breadth Indicator Analysis
## Overview
The Yelober_Momentum_BreadthMI is a comprehensive market breadth indicator designed to monitor market internals across NYSE and NASDAQ exchanges. It tracks several key metrics including up/down volume ratios, TICK readings, and trend momentum to provide traders with real-time insights into market direction, strength, and potential turning points.
## Indicator Components
This indicator displays a table with data for:
- NYSE breadth metrics
- NASDAQ breadth metrics
- NYSE TICK data and trends
- NASDAQ TICK (TICKQ) data and trends
## Table Columns and Interpretation
### Column 1: Market
Identifies the data source:
- **NYSE**: New York Stock Exchange data
- **NASDAQ**: NASDAQ exchange data
- **Tick**: NYSE TICK index
- **TickQ**: NASDAQ TICK index
### Column 2: Ratio
Shows the current ratio values with different calculations depending on the row:
- **For NYSE/NASDAQ rows**: Displays the up/down volume ratio
- Positive values (green): More up volume than down volume
- Negative values (red): More down volume than up volume
- The magnitude indicates the strength of the imbalance
- **For Tick/TickQ rows**: Shows the ratio of positive to negative ticks plus the current TICK reading in parentheses
- Format: "Ratio (Current TICK value)"
- Positive values (green): More stocks ticking up than down
- Negative values (red): More stocks ticking down than up
### Column 3: Trend
Displays the directional trend with both a symbol and value:
- **For NYSE/NASDAQ rows**: Shows the VOLD (volume difference) slope
- "↗": Rising trend (positive slope)
- "↘": Falling trend (negative slope)
- "→": Neutral/flat trend (minimal slope)
- **For Tick/TickQ rows**: Shows the slope of the ratio history
- Color-coding: Green for positive momentum, Red for negative momentum, Gray for neutral
The trend column is particularly important as it shows the current momentum of the market. The indicator applies specific thresholds for color-coding:
- NYSE: Green when normalized value > 2, Red when < -2
- NASDAQ: Green when normalized value > 3.5, Red when < -3.5
- TICK/TICKQ: Green when slope > 0.01, Red when slope < -0.01
## How to Use This Indicator
### Basic Interpretation
1. **Market Direction**: When multiple rows show green ratios and upward trends, it suggests strong bullish market internals. Conversely, red ratios and downward trends indicate bearish internals.
2. **Market Breadth**: The magnitude of the ratios indicates how broad-based the market movement is. Higher absolute values suggest stronger market breadth.
3. **Momentum Shifts**: When trend arrows change direction or colors shift, it may signal a potential reversal or change in market momentum.
4. **Divergences**: Look for divergences between different markets (NYSE vs NASDAQ) or between ratios and trends, which can indicate potential market turning points.
### Advanced Usage
- **Volume Normalization**: The indicator includes options to normalize volume data (none, tens, thousands, millions, 10th millions) to handle different exchange scales.
- **Trend Averaging**: The slope calculation uses an averaging period (default: 5) to smooth out noise and identify more reliable trend signals.
## Examples for Interpretation
### Example 1: Strong Bullish Market
```
| Market | Ratio | Trend |
|--------|---------|-----------|
| NYSE | 1.75 | ↗ 2.85 |
| NASDAQ | 2.10 | ↗ 4.12 |
| Tick | 2.45 (485) | ↗ 0.05 |
| TickQ | 1.95 (320) | ↗ 0.03 |
```
**Interpretation**: All metrics are positive and trending upward (green), indicating a strong, broad-based rally. The high ratio values show significant bullish dominance. This suggests continuation of the upward move with good momentum.
### Example 2: Weakening Market
```
| Market | Ratio | Trend |
|--------|---------|-----------|
| NYSE | 0.45 | ↘ -1.50 |
| NASDAQ | 0.85 | → 0.30 |
| Tick | 0.95 (105) | ↘ -0.02 |
| TickQ | 1.20 (160) | → 0.00 |
```
**Interpretation**: The market is showing mixed signals with positive but low ratios, while NYSE and TICK trends are turning negative. NASDAQ shows neutral to slightly positive momentum. This divergence often occurs near market tops or during consolidation phases. Traders should be cautious and consider reducing position sizes.
### Example 3: Negative Market Turning Positive
```
| Market | Ratio | Trend |
|--------|---------|-----------|
| NYSE | -1.25 | ↗ 1.75 |
| NASDAQ | -0.95 | ↗ 2.80 |
| Tick | -1.35 (-250) | ↗ 0.04 |
| TickQ | -1.10 (-180) | ↗ 0.02 |
```
**Interpretation**: This is a potential bottoming pattern. Current ratios are still negative (red) showing overall negative breadth, but the trends are all positive (green arrows), indicating improving momentum. This divergence often occurs at market bottoms and could signal an upcoming reversal. Look for confirmation with price action before establishing long positions.
### Example 4: Mixed Market with Divergence
```
| Market | Ratio | Trend |
|--------|---------|-----------|
| NYSE | 1.45 | ↘ -2.25 |
| NASDAQ | -0.85 | ↘ -3.80 |
| Tick | 1.20 (230) | ↘ -0.03 |
| TickQ | -0.75 (-120) | ↘ -0.02 |
```
**Interpretation**: There's a significant divergence between NYSE (positive ratio) and NASDAQ (negative ratio), while all trends are negative. This suggests sector rotation or a market that's weakening but with certain segments still showing strength. Often seen during late-stage bull markets or in transitions between leadership groups. Consider reducing risk exposure and focusing on relative strength sectors.
## Practical Trading Applications
1. **Confirmation Tool**: Use this indicator to confirm price movements. Strong breadth readings in the direction of the price trend increase confidence in trade decisions.
2. **Early Warning System**: Watch for divergences between price and breadth metrics, which often precede market turns.
3. **Intraday Trading**: The real-time nature of TICK and volume data makes this indicator valuable for day traders to gauge intraday momentum shifts.
4. **Market Regime Identification**: Sustained readings can help identify whether the market is in a trend or chop regime, allowing for appropriate strategy selection.
This breadth indicator is most effective when used in conjunction with price action and other technical indicators rather than in isolation.
Uptrick: Z-Trend BandsOverview
Uptrick: Z-Trend Bands is a Pine Script overlay crafted to capture high-probability mean-reversion opportunities. It dynamically plots upper and lower statistical bands around an EMA baseline by converting price deviations into z-scores. Once price moves outside these bands and then reenters, the indicator verifies that momentum is genuinely reversing via an EMA-smoothed RSI slope. Signal memory ensures only one entry per momentum swing, and traders receive clear, real-time feedback through customizable bar-coloring modes, a semi-transparent fill highlighting the statistical zone, concise “Up”/“Down” labels, and a live five-metric scoring table.
Introduction
Markets often oscillate between trending and reverting, and simple thresholds or static envelopes frequently misfire when volatility shifts. Standard deviation quantifies how “wide” recent price moves have been, and a z-score transforms each deviation into a measure of how rare it is relative to its own history. By anchoring these bands to an exponential moving average, the script maintains a fluid statistical envelope that adapts instantly to both calm and turbulent regimes. Meanwhile, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) tracks momentum; smoothing RSI with an EMA and observing its slope filters out erratic spikes, ensuring that only genuine momentum flips—upward for longs and downward for shorts—qualify.
Purpose
This indicator is purpose-built for short-term mean-reversion traders operating on lower–timeframe charts. It reveals when price has strayed into the outer 5 percent of its recent range, signaling an increased likelihood of a bounce back toward fair value. Rather than firing on price alone, it demands that momentum follow suit: the smoothed RSI slope must flip in the opposite direction before any trade marker appears. This dual-filter approach dramatically reduces noise-driven, false setups. Traders then see immediate visual confirmation—bar colors that reflect the latest signal and age over time, clear entry labels, and an always-visible table of metric scores—so they can gauge both the validity and freshness of each signal at a glance.
Originality and Uniqueness
Uptrick: Z-Trend Bands stands apart from typical envelope or oscillator tools in four key ways. First, it employs fully normalized z-score bands, meaning ±2 always captures roughly the top and bottom 5 percent of moves, regardless of volatility regime. Second, it insists on two simultaneous conditions—price reentry into the bands and a confirming RSI slope flip—dramatically reducing whipsaw signals. Third, it uses slope-phase memory to lock out duplicate signals until momentum truly reverses again, enforcing disciplined entries. Finally, it offers four distinct bar-coloring schemes (solid reversal, fading reversal, exceeding bands, and classic heatmap) plus a dynamic scoring table, rather than a single, opaque alert, giving traders deep insight into every layer of analysis.
Why Each Component Was Picked
The EMA baseline was chosen for its blend of responsiveness—weighting recent price heavily—and smoothness, which filters market noise. Z-score deviation bands standardize price extremes relative to their own history, adapting automatically to shifting volatility so that “extreme” always means statistically rare. The RSI, smoothed with an EMA before slope calculation, captures true momentum shifts without the false spikes that raw RSI often produces. Slope-phase memory flags prevent repeated alerts within a single swing, curbing over-trading in choppy conditions. Bar-coloring modes provide flexible visual contexts—whether you prefer to track the latest reversal, see signal age, highlight every breakout, or view a continuous gradient—and the scoring table breaks down all five core checks for complete transparency.
Features
This indicator offers a suite of configurable visual and logical tools designed to make reversal signals both robust and transparent:
Dynamic z-score bands that expand or contract in real time to reflect current volatility regimes, ensuring the outer ±zThreshold levels always represent statistically rare extremes.
A smooth EMA baseline that weights recent price more heavily, serving as a fair-value anchor around which deviations are measured.
EMA-smoothed RSI slope confirmation, which filters out erratic momentum spikes by first smoothing raw RSI and then requiring its bar-to-bar slope to flip before any signal is allowed.
Slope-phase memory logic that locks out duplicate buy or sell markers until the RSI slope crosses back through zero, preventing over-trading during choppy swings.
Four distinct bar-coloring modes—Reversal Solid, Reversal Fade, Exceeding Bands, Classic Heat—plus a “None” option, so traders can choose whether to highlight the latest signal, show signal age, emphasize breakout bars, or view a continuous heat gradient within the bands.
A semi-transparent fill between the EMA and the upper/lower bands that visually frames the statistical zone and makes extremes immediately obvious.
Concise “Up” and “Down” labels that plot exactly when price re-enters a band with confirming momentum, keeping chart clutter to a minimum.
A real-time, five-metric scoring table (z-score, RSI slope, price vs. EMA, trend state, re-entry) that updates every two bars, displaying individual +1/–1/0 scores and an averaged Buy/Sell/Neutral verdict for complete transparency.
Calculations
Compute the fair-value EMA over fairLen bars.
Subtract that EMA from current price each bar to derive the raw deviation.
Over zLen bars, calculate the rolling mean and standard deviation of those deviations.
Convert each deviation into a z-score by subtracting the mean and dividing by the standard deviation.
Plot the upper and lower bands at ±zThreshold × standard deviation around the EMA.
Calculate raw RSI over rsiLen bars, then smooth it with an EMA of length rsiEmaLen.
Derive the RSI slope by taking the difference between the current and previous smoothed RSI.
Detect a potential reentry when price exits one of the bands on the prior bar and re-enters on the current bar.
Require that reentry coincide with an RSI slope flip (positive for a lower-band reentry, negative for an upper-band reentry).
On first valid reentry per momentum swing, fire a buy or sell signal and set a memory flag; reset that flag only when the RSI slope crosses back through zero.
For each bar, assign scores of +1, –1, or 0 for the z-score direction, RSI slope, price vs. EMA, trend-state, and reentry status.
Average those five scores; if the result exceeds +0.1, label “Buy,” if below –0.1, label “Sell,” otherwise “Neutral.”
Update bar colors, the semi-transparent fill, reversal labels, and the scoring table every two bars to reflect the latest calculations.
How It Actually Works
On each new candle, the EMA baseline and band widths update to reflect current volatility. The RSI is smoothed and its slope recalculated. The script then looks back one bar to see if price exited either band and forward to see if it reentered. If that reentry coincides with an appropriate RSI slope flip—and no signal has yet been generated in that swing—a concise label appears. Bar colors refresh according to your selected mode, and the scoring table updates to show which of the five conditions passed or failed, along with the overall verdict. This process repeats seamlessly at each bar, giving traders a continuous feed of disciplined, statistically filtered reversal cues.
Inputs
All parameters are fully user-configurable, allowing you to tailor sensitivity, lookbacks, and visuals to your trading style:
EMA length (fairLen): number of bars for the fair-value EMA; higher values smooth more but lag further behind price.
Z-Score lookback (zLen): window for calculating the mean and standard deviation of price deviations; longer lookbacks reduce noise but respond more slowly to new volatility.
Z-Score threshold (zThreshold): number of standard deviations defining the upper and lower bands; common default is 2.0 for roughly the outer 5 percent of moves.
Source (src): choice of price series (close, hl2, etc.) used for EMA, deviation, and RSI calculations.
RSI length (rsiLen): period for raw RSI calculation; shorter values react faster to momentum changes but can be choppier.
RSI EMA length (rsiEmaLen): period for smoothing raw RSI before taking its slope; higher values filter more noise.
Bar coloring mode (colorMode): select from None, Reversal Solid, Reversal Fade, Exceeding Bands, or Classic Heat to control how bars are shaded in relation to signals and band positions.
Show signals (showSignals): toggle on-chart “Up” and “Down” labels for reversal entries.
Show scoring table (enableTable): toggle the display of the five-metric breakdown table.
Table position (tablePos): choose which corner (Top Left, Top Right, Bottom Left, Bottom Right) hosts the scoring table.
Conclusion
By merging a normalized z-score framework, momentum slope confirmation, disciplined signal memory, flexible visuals, and transparent scoring into one Pine Script overlay, Uptrick: Z-Trend Bands offers a powerful yet intuitive tool for intraday mean-reversion trading. Its adaptability to real-time volatility and multi-layered filter logic deliver clear, high-confidence reversal cues without the clutter or confusion of simpler indicators.

3. Bollinger Band Squeeze Detection (SQZ)
The BB Squeeze indicator identifies periods of low volatility when Bollinger Bands contract inside Keltner Channels, often preceding significant price movements.
SQZ Visual Indicators
"●" (Filled Circle): Strong squeeze - high probability setup for an impending breakout
Green: Strong squeeze with bullish bias (likely upward breakout)
Red: Strong squeeze with bearish bias (likely downward breakout)
Orange: Strong squeeze with unclear direction
"◯" (Hollow Circle): Moderate squeeze - medium probability setup
Green: With bullish EMA alignment
Red: With bearish EMA alignment
Orange: Without clear directional bias
"-" (Dash): Gray dash indicates no squeeze condition (normal volatility)
The script identifies squeeze conditions through multiple methods:
Bollinger Bands contracting inside Keltner Channels
BB width falling to bottom 20% of recent range (BB width percentile)
Very narrow Keltner Channel (less than 5% of basis price)
Tracking squeeze duration in consecutive bars
Different squeeze strengths are detected:
Strong Squeeze: BB inside KC with tight BB width and narrow KC
Moderate Squeeze: BB inside KC with either tight BB width or narrow KC
No Squeeze: Normal market conditions
4. Breakout Detection System
The script includes two breakout indicators working in sequence:
4.1 Pre-Breakout (PBK) Indicator
Detects potential upcoming breakouts by analyzing multiple factors:
Squeeze conditions lasting 2-3 bars or more
Significant price ranges
Strong volume confirmation
EMA/MACD crossovers
Consistent price direction
PBK Visual Indicators
"●" (Filled Circle): Detected pre-breakout condition
Green: Likely upward breakout (bullish)
Red: Likely downward breakout (bearish)
Orange: Direction not yet clear, but breakout likely
"-" (Dash): Gray dash indicates no pre-breakout condition
The PBK uses sophisticated conditions to reduce false signals including minimum squeeze length, significant price movement, and technical confirmations.
4.2 Breakout (BK) Indicator
Confirms actual breakouts in progress by identifying:
End of squeeze or strong expansion of Bollinger Bands
Volume expansion
Price moving outside Bollinger Bands
EMA crossovers with volume confirmation
MACD crossovers with significant price range
BK Visual Indicators
"●" (Filled Circle): Confirmed breakout in progress

Practical Trading Applications
Complete Trading Strategies
1. Squeeze Breakout Strategy
This strategy combines multiple components of the indicator:
Wait for a strong squeeze (SQZ showing ●)
Look for pre-breakout confirmation (PBK showing ● in green or red)
Enter when breakout is confirmed (BK showing ● in same direction)
Use VTR to confirm volume supports the move (VTR ≥ 65 for bullish or ≤ 35 for bearish)
Set profit targets based on ADR (Average Daily Range)
Exit when VTR begins to weaken or changes direction
2. Volume Divergence Strategy
This strategy focuses on the volume trend relative to price:
Identify when price makes a new high but VTR fails to confirm (divergence)
Look for VTR to show weakening trend (● changing to ◯ or ·)
Prepare for potential reversal when SQZ begins to form
Enter counter-trend position when PBK confirms reversal direction
Use external indicators (QQQ, BTC, Breadth) to confirm broader market support
3. Pre-Market Edge Strategy
This strategy leverages pre-market data:
Monitor AVOL for unusual pre-market activity (significantly above 100%)
Check pre-market price change direction (PCHG%)
Enter position at market open if VTR confirms direction
Use SQZ to determine if volatility is likely to expand
Exit based on RVOL declining or price reaching +/- ADR for the day
Market Context Integration
The indicator provides valuable context for trading decisions:
QQQ change shows tech market direction
BTC price shows crypto market correlation
UVIX change indicates volatility expectations
Breadth measurement shows market internals
This context helps traders avoid fighting the broader market and align trades with overall market direction.
Timeframe Optimization
The indicator is designed to work across different timeframes:
For day trading: Focus on AVOL, VTR, PBK/BK, and use shorter momentum periods
For swing trading: Focus on SQZ duration, VTR strength, and broader market indicators

Gaussian Smooth Trend | QuantEdgeB🧠 Introducing Gaussian Smooth Trend (GST) by QuantEdgeB
🛠️ Overview
Gaussian Smooth Trend (GST) is an advanced volatility-filtered trend-following system that blends multiple smoothing techniques into a single directional bias tool. It is purpose-built to reduce noise, isolate meaningful price shifts, and deliver early trend detection while dynamically adapting to market volatility.
GST leverages the Gaussian filter as its core engine, wrapped in a layered framework of DEMA smoothing, SMMA signal tracking, and standard deviation-based breakout thresholds, producing a powerful toolset for trend confirmation and momentum-based decision-making.
🔍 How It Works
1️⃣ DEMA Smoothing Engine
The indicator begins by calculating a Double Exponential Moving Average (DEMA), which provides a responsive and noise-resistant base input for subsequent filtering.
2️⃣ Gaussian Filter
A custom Gaussian kernel is applied to the DEMA signal, allowing the system to detect smooth momentum shifts while filtering out short-term volatility.
This is especially powerful during low-volume or sideways markets where traditional MAs struggle.
3️⃣ SMMA Layer with Z-Filtering
The filtered Gaussian signal is then passed through a custom Smoothed Moving Average (SMMA). A standard deviation envelope is constructed around this SMMA, dynamically expanding/contracting based on market volatility.
4️⃣ Signal Generation
• ✅ Long Signal: Price closes above Upper SD Band
• ❌ Short Signal: Price closes below Lower SD Band
• ➖ No trade: Price stays within the band → market indecision
✨ Key Features
🔹 Multi-Stage Trend Detection
Combines DEMA → Gaussian Kernel → SMMA → SD Bands for robust signal integrity across market conditions.
🔹 Gaussian Adaptive Filtering
Applies a tunable sigma parameter for the Gaussian kernel, enabling you to fine-tune smoothness vs. responsiveness.
🔹 Volatility-Aware Trend Zones
Price must close outside of dynamic SD envelopes to trigger signals — reducing whipsaws and increasing signal quality.
🔹 Dynamic Color-Coded Visualization
Candle coloring and band fills reflect live trend state, making the chart intuitive and fast to read.
⚙️ Custom Settings
• DEMA Source: Price stream used for smoothing (default: close)
• DEMA Length: Period for initial exponential smoothing (default: 7)
• Gaussian Length / Sigma: Controls smoothing strength of kernel filter
• SMMA Length: Final smoothing layer (default: 12)
• SD Length: Lookback period for standard deviation filtering (default: 30)
• SD Mult Up / Down: Adjusts distance of upper/lower breakout zones (default: 2.5 / 1.8)
• Color Modes: Six distinct color palettes (e.g., Strategy, Warm, Cool)
• Signal Labels: Toggle on/off entry markers ("𝓛𝓸𝓷𝓰", "𝓢𝓱𝓸𝓻𝓽")
📌 Trading Applications
✅ Trend-Following → Enter on confirmed breakouts from Gaussian-smoothed volatility zones
✅ Breakout Validation → Use SD bands to avoid false breakouts during chop
✅ Volatility Compression Monitoring → Narrowing bands often precede large directional moves
✅ Overlay-Based Confirmation → Can complement other QuantEdgeB indicators like K-DMI, BMD, or Z-SMMA
📌 Conclusion
Gaussian Smooth Trend (GST) delivers a precision-built trend model tailored for modern traders who demand both clarity and control. The layered signal architecture, combined with volatility awareness and Gaussian signal enhancement, ensures accurate entries, clean visualizations, and actionable trend structure — all in real-time.
🔹 Summary Highlights
1️⃣ Multi-stage Smoothing — DEMA → Gaussian → SMMA for deep signal integrity
2️⃣ Volatility-Aware Filtering — SD bands prevent false entries
3️⃣ Visual Trend Mapping — Gradient fills + candle coloring for clean charts
4️⃣ Highly Customizable — Adapt to your timeframe, style, and volatility
