Options Series - NonOverlay_Technical
⭐ 1. Purpose:
The script is designed to show technical indicators in a non-overlay form using candlestick representations. It combines multiple popular technical analysis tools to gauge the market's bullish or bearish conditions.
⭐ 2. Indicators:
The script uses several indicators across different timeframes: Exponential Moving Averages (EMA) for 5, 20, 50 periods. Simple Moving Average (SMA) for 200 periods. RSI (Relative Strength Index) for momentum. VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) for average price evaluation. PSAR (Parabolic SAR) for trend direction. Daily and multi-day (2-day and 3-day) data for broader market context.
⭐ 3. Candlestick Representation:
The script uses color-coded candlesticks to visually represent various indicators and their bullish/bearish states: Green candlesticks for bullish conditions. Red candlesticks for bearish conditions. Neutral/transparent for non-significant conditions.
⭐ 4. Important Conditions:
It calculates bullish and bearish conditions for each indicator: MA20: When the price is above or below the 20-period EMA. RSI: When RSI is above or below 50. VWAP: When the price is above or below the VWAP. PSAR: When the price is above or below the PSAR. 2-day and 3-day Moving Averages: Evaluating the broader trend.
⭐ 5. Bullish vs. Bearish Calculation:
The script sums up bullish and bearish signals to determine the overall market condition: Current_logical_bull: Counts the number of bullish indicators. Current_logical_bear: Counts the number of bearish indicators. The script compares these values to conclude whether the market is more bullish or bearish.
⭐ 6. Visual Plotting:
The script uses plotcandle to display the non-overlay signals at different levels for each condition, stacked vertically from MA20 to PSAR. Additionally, a master candle combines all indicators to show an overall market trend.
⭐ 7. Neon Effect on MA20:
It adds a neon-like effect to the MA20 line, making it visually prominent: A standard plot line with the base color. Two additional neon layers with increasing transparency to enhance the effect.
⭐ 8. Daily Timeframes and Lookahead:
The script fetches daily data using the lookahead feature to get a broader view of the market trend. It tracks the previous day’s and two days' data for comparison.
⭐ 9. Labels and Customization:
The script dynamically adds labels to the chart for the different plotted indicators at the last bar, making it easier to identify which indicator is being represented.
🚀 Conclusion:
The script combines multiple technical indicators, such as EMA, RSI, VWAP, PSAR, and multi-day moving averages, to visually assess bullish and bearish market conditions. It uses color-coded candlesticks to represent each indicator and sums up the signals to determine the overall trend.

RVWAP ENHANCED**Rolling VWAP with Alerts and Markers**
This Pine Script indicator enhances the traditional Rolling VWAP (Relative Volume Weighted Average Price) by adding dynamic features for improved visualization and alerting.
### Features:
1. **Dynamic VWAP Line Coloring**:
- The VWAP line changes color based on the relationship with the closing price:
- **Green** when the price is above the VWAP.
- **Red** when the price is below the VWAP.
2. **Candle and Background Coloring**:
- **Candles**: Colored green if the close is above the VWAP and red if below.
- **Background**: Subtle green or red shading indicates the price’s position relative to the VWAP.
3. **Alerts**:
- Alerts notify users when the VWAP changes direction:
- "VWAP Turned Green" for price crossing above the VWAP.
- "VWAP Turned Red" for price crossing below the VWAP.
4. **Small Dot Markers**:
- Tiny dots are plotted below the candles to mark VWAP state changes:
- **Green dot** for VWAP turning green.
- **Red dot** for VWAP turning red.
5. **Custom Time Period**:
- Users can select either a dynamic time period based on the chart's timeframe or a fixed time period (customizable in days, hours, and minutes).
6. **Standard Deviation Bands (Optional)**:
- Standard deviation bands around the VWAP can be enabled for further analysis.
This script is designed to provide clear and actionable insights into market trends using the RVWAP, making it an excellent tool for traders who rely on volume-based price action analysis.

## 🎯 FIXED: ANCHORED VWAP (TIMESTAMP-BASED)
**The VWAP now anchors with SURGICAL PRECISION to the exact session start candle!**
```
LONDON SESSION:
• Anchors at the EXACT 3:00 AM ET candle
• Uses timestamp checking: hour == 3 AND minute == 0
• Resets every morning at London Open
NEW YORK SESSION:
• Anchors at the EXACT 9:30 AM ET candle
• Uses timestamp checking: hour == 9 AND minute == 30
• Resets every day at NY Open
WHAT THIS MEANS:
✅ VWAP starts accumulating from the first tick of the session
✅ No more "off by one bar" errors
✅ Institutional-grade VWAP anchoring
✅ Perfect alignment with your ORB start times
HOW TO VERIFY IT'S WORKING:
1. Load indicator on 1min or 5min chart
2. Find the exact 9:30 AM candle (NY) or 3:00 AM candle (London)
3. VWAP should START appearing from that exact bar
4. Not the bar before, not the bar after - THAT EXACT BAR
```

## ⏰ SESSION TIMING MATRIX
| Session | Start Time | 5min Complete | 15min Complete | 30min Complete | Session End |
|---------|-----------|---------------|----------------|----------------|-------------|
| **London** | 3:00 AM ET | 3:05 AM | 3:15 AM | 3:30 AM | 9:30 AM ET (disappears) |
| **New York** | 9:30 AM ET | 9:35 AM | 9:45 AM | 10:00 AM | 5:00 PM ET (disappears) |
**💡 GOLDEN RULES:**
1. **WAIT FOR 30MIN ORB TO COMPLETE** before trading targets (10:00 AM NY / 3:30 AM London)
2. Use 5min and 15min ORBs as **early warning signals** only
3. All ORB lines + VWAP **auto-delete** at session end (clean chart)

## 🎯 THE 3-ORB SYSTEM: HOW IT WORKS
### **Hierarchical ORB Structure**
```
TIME: 9:30 AM ─────────────────────────────────> 10:00 AM ──────> 5:00 PM
↓ ↓
SESSION START 30min ORB COMPLETE
(all 3 ORBs begin forming) (targets appear)
📍 5min ORB (9:30-9:35 AM): ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━>
Purpose: EARLY breakout signal, fastest-moving boundary
📍 15min ORB (9:30-9:45 AM): ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━>
Purpose: MID-TERM institutional reference level
📍 30min ORB (9:30-10:00 AM): ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━>
Purpose: PRIMARY TRADING RANGE - all targets calculated from this
🎯 TARGETS (10:00 AM onward): ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ (1x, 2x, 3x from 30min ORB)
Purpose: Profit-taking levels based on 30min range
```
**Why 3 ORBs Instead of 1?**
- **5min ORB**: Captures early institutional positioning (first 5 minutes)
- **15min ORB**: Confirms directional bias (more stable than 5min)
- **30min ORB**: Full market digestion of overnight news + opening orders
- **Confluence = Higher Win Rate**: When all 3 align, breakouts are extremely reliable
---
## 🎯 THE 5 HIGH-PROBABILITY SETUPS
### **SETUP #1: TRIPLE ORB BREAKOUT CONFLUENCE** ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
```
CONDITIONS:
✅ 30min ORB complete (10:00 AM NY / 3:30 AM London)
✅ Price breaks ALL 3 ORBs simultaneously:
• 5min high/low (blue line)
• 15min high/low (cyan line)
• 30min high/low (purple line)
✅ VWAP confirms direction (below price = bullish, above = bearish)
✅ Volume spike on breakout candle
ENTRY: Close of breakout candle (must close beyond ALL 3 ORBs)
STOP: Inside 30min ORB at 30m low (long) or 30m high (short)
TARGET 1: First green/red dashed line (0.5x 30m range)
TARGET 2: Second target (1x 30m range)
TARGET 3: Third target (1.5x 30m range)
WIN RATE: 75-85% | R:R = 1:2.5 minimum
NOTES: When all 3 ORBs align, institutional order flow is unanimous
```
---
### **SETUP #2: 5MIN EARLY BREAKOUT → 30MIN CONFIRMATION** ⭐⭐⭐⭐
```
CONDITIONS:
✅ Price breaks 5min ORB first (blue line crossed)
✅ 15min ORB holds initially (cyan line not crossed yet)
✅ After 30min ORB completes, price breaks 30min boundary (purple)
✅ VWAP alignment confirms direction
✅ All 3 ORBs now broken in same direction
ENTRY: When 30min ORB breaks (purple line) + 5min/15min already broken
STOP: 30min ORB opposite boundary
TARGET 1-3: Standard targets from 30min ORB
WIN RATE: 70-80% | R:R = 1:2+
NOTES: 5min gave early warning, 30min confirms institutional commitment
```
---
### **SETUP #3: FALSE 5MIN BREAKOUT → 30MIN REVERSAL** ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
```
CONDITIONS:
✅ Price breaks 5min ORB (blue line)
✅ Fails to break 15min or 30min ORBs (cyan/purple lines hold)
✅ Price reverses back inside 5min ORB
✅ Then breaks OPPOSITE side of 30min ORB (purple line)
✅ VWAP flips to confirm new direction
ENTRY: When 30min ORB breaks in OPPOSITE direction of failed 5min break
STOP: Failed 5min breakout high/low (now a liquidity grab zone)
TARGET 1-3: Standard targets
WIN RATE: 80-90% | R:R = 1:3+ (trapped traders forced to exit)
NOTES: Most profitable setup - 5min breakout was liquidity hunt
```
---
### **SETUP #4: TIGHT COMPRESSION → EXPLOSION** ⭐⭐⭐⭐
```
CONDITIONS:
✅ All 3 ORBs tightly overlapping (5m, 15m, 30m within 50 points on YM)
✅ Range < 0.3% of price (very tight consolidation)
✅ VWAP sitting in middle of compression
✅ 30min ORB complete, price still inside all 3
ENTRY: Simultaneous break of ALL 3 ORBs + VWAP cross
STOP: Middle of compression zone
TARGET: 2x-4x normal targets (volatility expansion)
WIN RATE: 65-75% | R:R = 1:5+ (explosive breakout)
NOTES: Low volatility → high volatility shift, institutions coiling spring
```
---
### **SETUP #5: VWAP BOUNCE WITHIN 30MIN ORB** ⭐⭐⭐⭐
```
CONDITIONS:
✅ Price stayed inside 30min ORB for 1+ hours post-formation
✅ VWAP acting as dynamic support (long) or resistance (short)
✅ Price bouncing between VWAP and 30min ORB boundaries
✅ Clear rejection candles at VWAP
ENTRY: When price bounces off VWAP toward 30min ORB boundary
• Long: VWAP bounce up toward 30m high (purple)
• Short: VWAP rejection down toward 30m low (purple)
STOP: Beyond VWAP by 20 points
TARGET: 30min ORB opposite boundary
WIN RATE: 70-80% | R:R = 1:1.5-2
NOTES: Range-bound play, NOT for breakout traders
```
---
## 🛡️ RISK MANAGEMENT RULES
### **Position Sizing by ORB Range**
```
30min ORB Range | Stop Distance | Risk $500 (1%) | YM Contracts
-----------------|------------------|-----------------|-------------
< 50 points | 50 pts | $500 ÷ $250 = | 2 contracts
50-100 points | 100 pts | $500 ÷ $500 = | 1 contract
100-150 points | 150 pts | $500 ÷ $750 = | 0.66 (use 1)
150-200 points | 200 pts | $500 ÷ $1000 = | 0.5 (use 1)
> 200 points | Don't trade | Too wide | Skip setup
Formula: Risk $ ÷ (Stop Distance × $5 per YM point) = Max Contracts
```
### **The 3-Strike Rule (MANDATORY)**
```
✅ Trade 1: Full position size (based on 30m ORB range)
❌ Stop hit → Trade 2: HALF position size
❌ Stop hit → Trade 3: QUARTER position size
❌ Stop hit → DONE FOR THE DAY (no exceptions)
```
### **Profit Taking Ladder**
```
TARGET 1 (0.5x 30m range): Take 50% off, move stop to breakeven
TARGET 2 (1.0x 30m range): Take 30% off, trail stop by 25 points
TARGET 3 (1.5x 30m range): Take 15% off, let 5% run with 50pt trail
```
---
## ⚠️ DO NOT TRADE IF...
```
🚫 30min ORB incomplete (< 10:00 AM NY / < 3:30 AM London)
🚫 30min ORB range < 40 points YM (too tight, likely chop)
🚫 30min ORB range > 250 points YM (too wide, unpredictable)
🚫 All 3 ORBs wildly divergent (5m=100pts, 15m=180pts, 30m=240pts)
🚫 Major news release within 30 minutes (wait for ORB to reform)
🚫 You've hit 3 losses in the session (3-strike rule)
🚫 You're tired, emotional, revenge trading, or distracted
🚫 Time > 12:00 PM ET (lunch, avoid until 1:00 PM)
🚫 Time > 3:00 PM ET unless Power Hour (3:00-4:00 PM) momentum
```

## 🧠 READING THE 3-ORB STRUCTURE
### **Bullish Alignment Patterns**
```
PATTERN 1: "Staircase Expansion"
5min: ━━━━ (tight, 60 pts)
15min: ━━━━━━ (wider, 90 pts)
30min: ━━━━━━━━ (widest, 120 pts)
→ Bullish expansion, expect upside breakout
PATTERN 2: "Nested Compression"
5min: ━━ (30 pts)
15min: ━━━ (35 pts)
30min: ━━━━ (40 pts)
→ All tight, explosive breakout likely
PATTERN 3: "Early Commitment"
5min: ━━━━━━ (100 pts, already broken up)
15min: ━━━━━ (80 pts, holding)
30min: ━━━━━ (110 pts, about to break)
→ 5min led the way, 30min confirmation coming
```
### **Bearish Alignment Patterns**
```
PATTERN 1: "Waterfall Setup"
5min: ━━━━ (50 pts, broke down)
15min: ━━━━━ (70 pts, broke down)
30min: ━━━━━━ (90 pts, about to break)
→ Sequential breakdown, strong bearish momentum
PATTERN 2: "Failed Highs"
5min: ━━━━━━ (upper wick rejections)
15min: ━━━━━━ (couldn't break)
30min: ━━━━━━━ (topped out)
→ All 3 rejecting highs, bearish reversal likely
```
### **Neutral/Chop Patterns (AVOID TRADING)**
```
PATTERN 1: "Wide Divergence"
5min: ━━ (30 pts)
15min: ━━━━━━━ (120 pts)
30min: ━━━━━━━━━━━ (200 pts)
→ No consensus, unpredictable, skip
PATTERN 2: "Whipsaw City"
• Price breaking 5min up, then down, then up again
• 15min and 30min not aligned
• VWAP getting crossed every 5 minutes
→ Chop day, step aside, wait for clarity

## 💡 COMMON MISTAKES & FIXES
```
❌ MISTAKE: Trading before 30min ORB completes
✅ FIX: Wait until 10:00 AM (NY) or 3:30 AM (London), NO EXCEPTIONS
❌ MISTAKE: Ignoring 5min and 15min ORBs (only watching 30min)
✅ FIX: Use all 3 for confluence - they're your early warning system
❌ MISTAKE: Chasing breakouts 100+ points beyond 30min ORB
✅ FIX: Wait for pullback to VWAP or 30min boundary for re-entry
❌ MISTAKE: Not adjusting target % for market conditions
✅ FIX: Volatile day (ORB >200pts)? Use 75-100% targets
Calm day (ORB <80pts)? Use 30-40% targets
❌ MISTAKE: Trading when all 3 ORBs are wildly different sizes
✅ FIX: Skip the day if 5m/15m/30m diverge by >100pts - no consensus
❌ MISTAKE: Forgetting VWAP position
✅ FIX: VWAP MUST confirm bias:
• Long: price > VWAP
• Short: price < VWAP
• If VWAP contradicts, skip the trade
❌ MISTAKE: Not respecting the 3-strike rule
✅ FIX: 3 losses = DONE for the session, no rationalization
❌ MISTAKE: Trading during lunch (12:00-1:00 PM ET)
✅ FIX: Volume dies, ORBs lose relevance, false signals increase

## 🚀 YOUR FIRST LIVE TRADE WALKTHROUGH
**Step-by-Step for New York Session (Most Common):**
```
⏰ 9:15 AM ET - PREPARATION
□ Load SNIPER ORB on YM 5-minute chart
□ Select "New York" session in indicator settings
□ Verify VWAP is showing (gold line)
□ Check economic calendar (any big news at 9:30?)
□ Prepare mentally: "I will wait for 30min ORB to complete"
⏰ 9:30 AM ET - SESSION OPENS
□ Watch 3 ORBs begin forming:
• Blue lines (5min) will lock in at 9:35 AM
• Cyan lines (15min) will lock in at 9:45 AM
• Purple lines (30min) will lock in at 10:00 AM
□ Observe VWAP anchoring at 9:30 AM candle
□ DO NOT TRADE YET - just observe
⏰ 9:35 AM - 5MIN ORB COMPLETE
□ Note 5min high/low (blue lines locked)
□ Check info table: "5m Range = XX points"
□ If 5min ORB breaks early, note direction but DON'T ENTER
⏰ 9:45 AM - 15MIN ORB COMPLETE
□ Note 15min high/low (cyan lines locked)
□ Compare to 5min ORB: Aligned? Expanding?
□ Still waiting... patience pays
⏰ 10:00 AM - 30MIN ORB COMPLETE (TARGETS APPEAR!)
□ Purple lines locked (30m high/low)
□ Green/red dashed target lines appear automatically
□ Info table shows "Status: ✓ Complete"
□ NOW you can trade breakouts
⏰ 10:00 AM - 11:30 AM - TRADING WINDOW
□ Wait for price to break purple line (30m ORB high or low)
□ Confirm:
1. All 3 ORBs broken in same direction?
2. VWAP confirming (below=bullish, above=bearish)?
3. Volume spike visible?
4. YM SNIPER GOD MODE signal? (if using)
□ If all YES → ENTER TRADE:
• Market order at breakout close
• Stop at 30m ORB opposite boundary
• Targets at green/red dashed lines
⏰ TARGET MANAGEMENT
□ Price hits first target (1x) → Take 50% off, move stop to BE
□ Price hits second target (2x) → Take 30% off, trail stop
□ Price hits third target (3x) → Take 15% off, let 5% run
⏰ 12:00 PM - LUNCH (AVOID TRADING)
□ Volume dies down
□ ORBs become less relevant
□ Take a break, review morning trades
⏰ 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM - AFTERNOON SESSION
□ ORBs still valid but less reliable
□ Consider waiting for Power Hour (3:00-4:00 PM)
⏰ 5:00 PM - SESSION END
□ All ORB lines disappear automatically
□ VWAP disappears automatically
□ Chart cleans itself - ready for tomorrow
□ Fill out daily journal
```

## 🏆 WINNING MINDSET AFFIRMATIONS
Read these BEFORE each trading session:
```
"I trade ORBs, not chaos. Structure gives me edge."
"3 high-quality trades beat 20 mediocre ones."
"The 30min ORB is my anchor. I wait for it. Every. Single. Time."
"When all 3 ORBs align, institutions are unified. I follow."
"VWAP is my institutional compass. I respect its guidance."
"3 strikes and I'm out. Discipline > Ego."
"I am a SNIPER, not a machine gunner. Precision wins."
"My edge is patience. Let the ORBs complete."
"I don't predict. I react to proven structure."
"One perfect setup is worth waiting all morning."
```

## 📞 TROUBLESHOOTING
**"ORB lines not showing on chart!"**
→ Check timeframe: Must be 1min-30min (not daily/weekly)
→ Verify session time: Must be during London (3AM-9:30AM) or NY (9:30AM-5PM)
→ Check indicator status: Should say "⏳ Forming" or "✓ Complete" in table
**"Targets not appearing!"**
→ 30min ORB must be complete (10:00 AM NY / 3:30 AM London)
→ Check "Number of Targets" setting (must be ≥1)
→ Verify "Target % of 30min Range" is set (default 50%)
**"VWAP disappeared!"**
→ Normal behavior: VWAP auto-deletes at session end (5PM NY / 9:30AM London)
→ Toggle "Show Anchored VWAP" OFF then ON to reset
→ Check if you're viewing chart outside session hours
**"All 3 ORBs look the same!"**
→ This is actually GOOD - means tight alignment (high-probability setup)
→ If they're diverging wildly (>100pts difference), that's a skip signal
**"Info table blocking my view!"**
→ Info table is in top-right corner by default
→ Drag it to a different position (TradingView allows moving)
→ Or minimize it by clicking the small arrow
**"Colors are hard to see on my chart!"**
→ Go to indicator settings:
• "5min ORB", "15min ORB", "30min ORB" color pickers
• "Upside Targets", "Downside Targets" color pickers
• Recommended: Use contrasting colors vs your chart background
---
## 📚 ADVANCED INTEGRATION TECHNIQUES
### **Combining with Market Profile**
```
• Use Volume Profile to identify Value Area High (VAH) and Low (VAL)
• If 30min ORB aligns with VAH/VAL → extra confluence
• POC (Point of Control) acts similar to VWAP
```
### **Combining with Cumulative Delta**
```
• Check if delta is positive on 30min ORB high break (bullish confirmation)
• Negative delta on low break confirms bearish institutional flow
• Your YM SNIPER already tracks this - use together!
```
### **Combining with Options Flow**
```
• Large call buying near 30min ORB high? Institutions positioning for breakout
• Large put buying near 30min ORB low? Smart money hedging/shorting
• Tools: Unusual Whales, Cheddar Flow, OptionStrat
```
---
## 🎯 FINAL PRE-LIVE CHECKLIST
**DO NOT GO LIVE UNTIL ALL CHECKED:**
```
□ Practiced on TradingView Replay for 2+ weeks
□ Can identify all 5 setups by pattern recognition
□ Understand why targets come from 30min ORB only
□ Know difference between 5min/15min/30min roles
□ Risk management rules memorized (position sizing, 3-strike)
□ YM Ultimate SNIPER v8.1 loaded (optional but recommended)
□ All 5 TradingView alerts configured
□ Broker platform tested with demo account
□ Stop/target orders can be placed in <10 seconds

MA Study: Different Types and More [NeoButane]A study of moving averages that utilizes different tricks I've learned to optimize them. Included is Bollinger Bands, Guppy (GMMA) and Super Guppy.
The method used to make it MtF should be more precise and smoother than regular MtF methods that use the security function. For intraday timeframes, each number represents each hour, with 24 equal to 1 day. For daily, 3 is 3 day, for weekly, 4 is the 4 weekly, etc. If you're on a higher timeframe than the one selected, the length will not change.
Log-space is used to make calculations work on many cryptos. The rules for color changing Guppy is changed to make it not as choppy on MAs other than EMA. Note that length does not affect SWMA and VWAP and source does not affect VWAP.
A short summary of each moving average can be found here: medium.com
List of included MAs:
ALMA: Arnaud Legoux
Double EMA
EMA: Exponential
Hull MA
KAMA: Kaufman Adaptive
Linear Regression Curve
LSMA: Least Squares
SMA: Simple
SMMA/RMA: Smoothed/Running
SWMA: Symm. Weighted
TMA: Triangular
Triple EMA
VWMA: Volume Weighted
WMA: Weighted
ZLEMA: Zero Lag
VWAP: Vol Weighted Average
Welles Wilder MA
True Liquidity BlocksSo basically I've been deep diving into liquidity trading concepts similar to ICT (Inner Circle Trader) and developed an indicator that breaks down market movement through a volume-centric lens.
Key Concept:
Markets move not just by price, but by resolving trapped positions
Volume segments, not time intervals, show true market dynamics
VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) becomes a key structural reference
What Makes This Different:
Tracks volume segments instead of fixed time frames
Identifies "trapped" trader positions
Measures liquidity level efficiency
Color-codes bars based on nearest liquidity zone
Indicator Features:
Cyan/Red liquidity levels showing buy/sell pressure
Efficiency tracking for each level
Dynamic volume-based segmentation
Bar coloring to show nearest liquidity zone
Theoretical Inspiration: Viewed markets as energy systems where:
Positions create potential energy
Price movement resolves this energy
Trends form through systematic position liquidation
VWAP Recalculation in Each Segment:
Segment Start:
VWAP resets when volume threshold User Inputtable (600,000) is reached
Uses the last 4 price values (High, Low, Close, Close) for calculation
Weighted by volume traded during that segment
Calculation Method:
pineCopy = ta.vwap(hlcc4, na(segment_start) ? true : na, 1)
hlcc4: Combines high, low, close prices
na(segment_start): Ensures reset at new segment
Weighted by volume, not equal time intervals
Key Points:
Dynamic recalculation each segment
Reflects most recent trading activity
Provides real-time fair price reference
Tracks positioning
Essentially, VWAP resets and recalculates with each new volume segment, creating a rolling, volume-weighted average price that maps trader positioning.
BSL (Buy Side Liquidity) and SSL (Sell Side Liquidity) Explained:
When a volume segment closes relative to VWAP, it creates natural positioning traps:
BSL (Cyan) - Created when price closes BELOW THAT SEGMENT'S VWAP:
Bulls are positioned BELOW VWAP (trapped)
Shorts are positioned ABOVE VWAP (In Profit)
SSL (Red) - Created when price closes ABOVE THAT SEGMENT"S VWAP:
Bulls are positioned ABOVE VWAP (trapped)
Shorts are positioned BELOW VWAP (trapped)
Core Mechanism:
VWAP acts as a reference point for trader positioning
Trapped positions create inherent market tension
Levels expand to show accumulating pressure
Color-coded for quick identification of potential move direction
The goal: Visualize where traders are likely "stuck" and must eventually resolve their positions or liquidate other's, driving market movement.
It was just a fun experiment but If ya'll have any thoughts on it or what I could do to improve it, I would appreciate it.
Just a little note, It's optimized for futures, but if u uncheck the "Rest at Futures Open ?" setting, it allow full reign of any asset with volume data.
AI Trend Navigator [K-Neighbor]█ Overview
In the evolving landscape of trading and investment, the demand for sophisticated and reliable tools is ever-growing. The AI Trend Navigator is an indicator designed to meet this demand, providing valuable insights into market trends and potential future price movements. The AI Trend Navigator indicator is designed to predict market trends using the k-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) classifier.
By intelligently analyzing recent price actions and emphasizing similar values, it helps traders to navigate complex market conditions with confidence. It provides an advanced way to analyze trends, offering potentially more accurate predictions compared to simpler trend-following methods.
█ Calculations
KNN Moving Average Calculation: The core of the algorithm is a KNN Moving Average that computes the mean of the 'k' closest values to a target within a specified window size. It does this by iterating through the window, calculating the absolute differences between the target and each value, and then finding the mean of the closest values. The target and value are selected based on user preferences (e.g., using the VWAP or Volatility as a target).
KNN Classifier Function: This function applies the k-nearest neighbor algorithm to classify the price action into positive, negative, or neutral trends. It looks at the nearest 'k' bars, calculates the Euclidean distance between them, and categorizes them based on the relative movement. It then returns the prediction based on the highest count of positive, negative, or neutral categories.
█ How to use
Traders can use this indicator to identify potential trend directions in different markets.
Spotting Trends: Traders can use the KNN Moving Average to identify the underlying trend of an asset. By focusing on the k closest values, this component of the indicator offers a clearer view of the trend direction, filtering out market noise.
Trend Confirmation: The KNN Classifier component can confirm existing trends by predicting the future price direction. By aligning predictions with current trends, traders can gain more confidence in their trading decisions.
█ Settings
PriceValue: This determines the type of price input used for distance calculation in the KNN algorithm.
hl2: Uses the average of the high and low prices.
VWAP: Uses the Volume Weighted Average Price.
VWAP: Uses the Volume Weighted Average Price.
Effect: Changing this input will modify the reference values used in the KNN classification, potentially altering the predictions.
TargetValue: This sets the target variable that the KNN classification will attempt to predict.
Price Action: Uses the moving average of the closing price.
VWAP: Uses the Volume Weighted Average Price.
Volatility: Uses the Average True Range (ATR).
Effect: Selecting different targets will affect what the KNN is trying to predict, altering the nature and intent of the predictions.
Number of Closest Values: Defines how many closest values will be considered when calculating the mean for the KNN Moving Average.
Effect: Increasing this value makes the algorithm consider more nearest neighbors, smoothing the indicator and potentially making it less reactive. Decreasing this value may make the indicator more sensitive but possibly more prone to noise.
Neighbors: This sets the number of neighbors that will be considered for the KNN Classifier part of the algorithm.
Effect: Adjusting the number of neighbors affects the sensitivity and smoothness of the KNN classifier.
Smoothing Period: Defines the smoothing period for the moving average used in the KNN classifier.
Effect: Increasing this value would make the KNN Moving Average smoother, potentially reducing noise. Decreasing it would make the indicator more reactive but possibly more prone to false signals.
█ What is K-Nearest Neighbors (K-NN) algorithm?
At its core, the K-NN algorithm recognizes patterns within market data and analyzes the relationships and similarities between data points. By considering the 'K' most similar instances (or neighbors) within a dataset, it predicts future price movements based on historical trends. The K-Nearest Neighbors (K-NN) algorithm is a type of instance-based or non-generalizing learning. While K-NN is considered a relatively simple machine-learning technique, it falls under the AI umbrella.
We can classify the K-Nearest Neighbors (K-NN) algorithm as a form of artificial intelligence (AI), and here's why:
Machine Learning Component: K-NN is a type of machine learning algorithm, and machine learning is a subset of AI. Machine learning is about building algorithms that allow computers to learn from and make predictions or decisions based on data. Since K-NN falls under this category, it is aligned with the principles of AI.
Instance-Based Learning: K-NN is an instance-based learning algorithm. This means that it makes decisions based on the entire training dataset rather than deriving a discriminative function from the dataset. It looks at the 'K' most similar instances (neighbors) when making a prediction, hence adapting to new information if the dataset changes. This adaptability is a hallmark of intelligent systems.
Pattern Recognition: The core of K-NN's functionality is recognizing patterns within data. It identifies relationships and similarities between data points, something akin to human pattern recognition, a key aspect of intelligence.
Classification and Regression: K-NN can be used for both classification and regression tasks, two fundamental problems in machine learning and AI. The indicator code is used for trend classification, a predictive task that aligns with the goals of AI.
Simplicity Doesn't Exclude AI: While K-NN is often considered a simpler algorithm compared to deep learning models, simplicity does not exclude something from being AI. Many AI systems are built on simple rules and can be combined or scaled to create complex behavior.
No Explicit Model Building: Unlike traditional statistical methods, K-NN does not build an explicit model during training. Instead, it waits until a prediction is required and then looks at the 'K' nearest neighbors from the training data to make that prediction. This lazy learning approach is another aspect of machine learning, part of the broader AI field.

Options Scalper v2 - SPY/QQQHere's a comprehensive description of the Options Scalper v2 strategy:
---
## Options Scalper v2 - SPY/QQQ
### Overview
A multi-indicator confluence-based scalping strategy designed for trading SPY and QQQ options on short timeframes (1-5 minute charts). The strategy uses a scoring system to generate high-probability CALL and PUT signals by requiring alignment across multiple technical indicators before triggering entries.
---
### Core Logic
The strategy operates on a **scoring system (0-9 points)** where both bullish (CALL) and bearish (PUT) conditions are evaluated independently. A signal only fires when:
1. A recent EMA crossover occurred (within the last 3 bars)
2. The direction's score meets the minimum threshold (default: 4 points)
3. The signal's score is higher than the opposite direction
4. Enough bars have passed since the last signal (cooldown period)
5. Price action occurs during valid trading sessions
---
### Indicators Used
| Indicator | Purpose | CALL Condition | PUT Condition |
|-----------|---------|----------------|---------------|
| **9/21 EMA Cross** | Primary trigger | Fast EMA crosses above slow | Fast EMA crosses below slow |
| **200 EMA** | Trend filter | Price above 200 EMA | Price below 200 EMA |
| **RSI (14)** | Momentum filter | RSI between 45-65 | RSI between 35-55 |
| **VWAP** | Institutional level | Price above VWAP | Price below VWAP |
| **MACD (12,26,9)** | Momentum confirmation | MACD line > Signal line | MACD line < Signal line |
| **Stochastic (14,3)** | Overbought/Oversold | Oversold or K > D | Overbought or K < D |
| **Volume** | Participation confirmation | Spike on green candle | Spike on red candle |
| **Price Structure** | Breakout detection | Higher high formed | Lower low formed |
---
### Scoring Breakdown
**CALL Score (Max 9 points):**
- Recent EMA cross up: +2 pts
- EMA alignment (fast > slow): +1 pt
- RSI in bullish range: +1 pt
- Above VWAP: +1 pt
- MACD bullish: +1 pt
- Volume spike on green candle: +1 pt
- Stochastic setup: +1 pt
- Above 200 EMA: +1 pt
- Breaking higher high: +1 pt
**PUT Score (Max 9 points):**
- Recent EMA cross down: +2 pts
- EMA alignment (fast < slow): +1 pt
- RSI in bearish range: +1 pt
- Below VWAP: +1 pt
- MACD bearish: +1 pt
- Volume spike on red candle: +1 pt
- Stochastic setup: +1 pt
- Below 200 EMA: +1 pt
- Breaking lower low: +1 pt
---
### Risk Management
The strategy uses **ATR-based dynamic stops and targets**:
| Parameter | Default | Description |
|-----------|---------|-------------|
| Stop Loss | 1.5x ATR | Distance below entry for longs, above for shorts |
| Take Profit | 2.0x ATR | Creates a 1:1.33 risk-reward ratio |
Positions are also closed on:
- Opposite direction signal (flip trade)
- Take profit or stop loss hit
---
### Session Filtering
Trades are restricted to high-liquidity periods by default:
- **Morning Session:** 9:30 AM - 11:00 AM EST
- **Afternoon Session:** 2:30 PM - 3:55 PM EST
This avoids choppy midday price action and captures the highest volume periods.
---
### Input Parameters
| Parameter | Default | Description |
|-----------|---------|-------------|
| Fast EMA | 9 | Fast moving average period |
| Slow EMA | 21 | Slow moving average period |
| Trend EMA | 200 | Long-term trend filter |
| RSI Length | 14 | RSI calculation period |
| RSI Overbought | 65 | Upper RSI threshold |
| RSI Oversold | 35 | Lower RSI threshold |
| Volume Multiplier | 1.2x | Volume spike detection threshold |
| Min Signal Strength | 4 | Minimum score required to trigger |
| Crossover Lookback | 3 | Bars to consider crossover "recent" |
| Min Bars Between Signals | 5 | Cooldown period between signals |
---
### Visual Elements
**Chart Plots:**
- Green line: 9 EMA (fast)
- Red line: 21 EMA (slow)
- Gray line: 200 EMA (trend)
- Purple dots: VWAP
**Signal Markers:**
- Green triangle up + "CALL" label: Buy call signal
- Red triangle down + "PUT" label: Buy put signal

|------------|---------|
| CALL Entry | Standard call signal fires |
| PUT Entry | Standard put signal fires |
| Strong CALL | Call signal with score ≥ 6 |
| Strong PUT | Put signal with score ≥ 6 |
---
### Recommended Usage
| Setting | 0DTE Scalping | Intraday Swings |
|---------|---------------|-----------------|
| Timeframe | 1-2 min | 5 min |
| Min Signal Strength | 5-6 | 4 |
| ATR Stop Mult | 1.0 | 1.5 |
| ATR TP Mult | 1.5 | 2.0 |
| Option Delta | 0.40-0.50 | 0.30-0.40 |
---
### Key Improvements Over v1
1. **Requires actual crossover** - Eliminates false signals from simple trend continuation
2. **Balanced scoring** - Both directions evaluated equally, highest score wins
3. **Signal cooldown** - Prevents overtrading with minimum bar spacing
4. **Multi-indicator confluence** - 8 factors must align for signal generation
5. **Volume-candle alignment** - Volume spikes only count when matching candle direction
---
### Disclaimer
This strategy is for educational purposes. Backtest thoroughly before live trading. Options trading involves significant risk of loss. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
Daily AVWAPsDaily AVWAPs is designed for intraday and swing traders who track institutional volume benchmarks. Instead of a single "rolling" line that resets continuously, this indicator identifies the starting timestamp of the last 5 trading sessions and draws five distinct Anchored VWAPs from those exact moments.
This allows traders to see exactly where the average volume-weighted price stands for the current day (1D), yesterday (2D), and the three days prior (3D, 4D, 5D) simultaneously.
Key Features
Polyline Visualization: Unlike standard indicators that plot historical values for every bar (creating a messy "sawtooth" effect), this script uses Pine Script Polylines. It draws clean, static lines starting from the specific anchor point to the present price, mimicking the manual "Anchored VWAP" drawing tool.
Dynamic Session Detection: The script contains zero hardcoded dates. It automatically detects when a new trading day begins based on the chart data. It works seamlessly across all asset classes (Stocks, Crypto, Futures) and automatically adjusts for weekends, holidays, and irregular trading weeks without manual updates.
Unified Color Control: Input colors are synchronized. Changing a color in the settings menu updates both the chart line and the price scale label instantly.
Toggle Controls: Individual checkboxes allow you to toggle any specific VWAP (1D through 5D) on or off to keep your chart clean.
How to Use
Trend Strength: When the 1D, 2D, and 3D VWAPs are "fanning out" in alignment, the trend is strong.
Mean Reversion: In a sideways market, price often gravitates back to the 5-Day VWAP as a "value area."
Support & Resistance: Watch for price to respect the VWAP of a previous high-volume day (e.g., bouncing off the 3D VWAP during a pullback).
Settings
Source: Select the price data source (default is OHLC4) .
Colors & Toggles: Use the checkboxes to enable/disable specific lines. Customize the color for each specific day's AVWAP directly in the Inputs tab.
This indicator was adapted and repurposed from the original work by The_Last_Gentleman .
Technical Note: This indicator is optimized for intraday timeframes (1m, 5m, 15m, 1H). Because it uses polyline and array logic to scan specific session timestamps, it calculates exclusively on the most recent bar to maintain high performance.

Multiple (12) Strong Buy/Sell Signals + Momentum
Indicator Manual: "Multiple (12) Strong Buy/Sell Signals + Momentum"
This indicator is designed to identify strong buy and sell signals based on 12 configurable conditions, which include a variety of technical analysis methods such as trend-following indicators, pattern recognition, volume analysis, and momentum oscillators. It allows for customizable alerts and visual cues on the chart. The indicator helps traders spot potential entry and exit points by displaying buy and sell signals based on the selected conditions.
Key Observations:
• The script integrates multiple indicators and pattern recognition methods to provide comprehensive buy/sell signals.
• Trend-based indicators like EMAs and MACD are combined with pattern recognition (flags, triangles) and momentum-based signals (RSI, ADX, and volume analysis).
• User customization is a core feature, allowing adjustments to the conditions and thresholds for more tailored signals.
• The script is designed to be responsive to market conditions, with multiple conditions filtering out noise to generate reliable signals.
________________________________________
Key Features:
1. 12 Combined Buy/Sell Signal Conditions: This indicator incorporates a diverse set of conditions based on trend analysis, momentum, and price patterns.
2. Minimum Conditions Input: You can adjust the threshold of conditions that need to be met for the buy/sell signals to appear.
3. Alert Customization: Set alert thresholds for both buy and sell signals.
4. Dynamic Visualization: Buy and sell signals are shown as triangles on the chart, with momentum signals highlighted as circles.
________________________________________
Detailed Description of the 12 Conditions:
1. Exponential Moving Averages (EMA):
o Conditions: The indicator uses EMAs with periods 3, 8, and 13 for quick trend-following signals.
o Bullish Signal: EMA3 > EMA8 > EMA13 (Bullish stack).
o Bearish Signal: EMA3 < EMA8 < EMA13 (Bearish stack).
o Reversal Signal: The crossing over or under of these EMAs can signify trend reversals.
2. MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence):

Signal Reliability Based on Condition Count
The reliability of the buy/sell signals increases as more conditions are met. Here's a breakdown of the probabilities:
1. 1-3 Conditions Met: Lower Probability
o Signals that meet only 1-3 conditions tend to have lower reliability and are considered less probable. These signals may represent false positives or weaker market movements, and traders should approach them with caution.
2. 4 Conditions Met: More Reliable Signal
o When 4 conditions are met, the signal becomes more reliable. This indicates that multiple indicators or market patterns are aligning, increasing the likelihood of a valid buy/sell opportunity. While not foolproof, it's a stronger indication that the market may be moving in a particular direction.
3. 5-6 Conditions Met: Strong Signal
o A signal meeting 5-6 conditions is considered a strong signal. This indicates a well-confirmed move, with several technical indicators and market factors aligning to suggest a higher probability of success. These are the signals that traders often prioritize.
4. 7+ Conditions Met: Rare and High-Confidence Signal
o Signals that meet 7 or more conditions are rare and should be considered high-confidence signals. These represent a significant alignment of multiple factors, and while they are less frequent, they are highly reliable when they do occur. Traders can be more confident in acting on these signals, but they should still monitor market conditions for confirmation.
________________________________________
You can adjust the number of conditions as needed, but this breakdown should give a clear structure on how the signal strength correlates with the number of conditions met!
Bull Bear Power With EMA FilterDescription of Indicator:
This Pine Script indicator colors price bars based on the open price in relation to custom moving averages (EMA/SMA), Bull/Bear Power (BBPower), and an optional VWAP filter. The bar colors help identify bullish and bearish conditions with added visual cues for price positioning relative to VWAP.
Key Features:
Customizable Moving Averages (EMA/SMA):
The user can select between EMA or SMA for both short-term and long-term moving averages.
Default moving averages are set to 5 (short-term) and 9 (long-term) but can be adjusted by the user.
Bullish Condition (Blue or Purple Bars):
A bar is colored blue if the following conditions are met:
The open price is above both the short-term and long-term moving averages.
The short-term moving average (MA 1) is above the long-term moving average (MA 2).
BBPower (open price minus the 13-period EMA) is positive, indicating bullish strength.
If the VWAP filter is enabled and the price opens below VWAP, the bullish bars will turn purple.
Bearish Condition (Yellow or Orange Bars):
A bar is colored yellow if the following conditions are met:
The open price is below both the short-term and long-term moving averages.
The short-term moving average (MA 1) is below the long-term moving average (MA 2).
BBPower is negative or zero, indicating bearish market conditions.
If the VWAP filter is enabled and the price opens above VWAP, the bearish bars will turn orange.
VWAP Filter (Optional):
An optional filter allows the user to add VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price) to the bar coloring logic.
When the VWAP filter is enabled, it provides additional information about price positioning relative to VWAP, turning bullish bars purple and bearish bars orange depending on whether the price opens above or below VWAP.
Usage:
Bullish Trend: Look for blue or purple bars to identify potential bullish momentum.
Bearish Trend: Look for yellow or orange bars to spot bearish conditions in the market.
The indicator allows users to customize the length and type of moving averages (EMA or SMA), as well as decide whether to apply the VWAP filter.
This indicator provides traders with clear visual signals to quickly assess the strength of bullish or bearish conditions based on the price's position relative to custom moving averages, BBPower, and VWAP, helping with trend identification and potential trade setups.
Depth of Market (DOM) [LuxAlgo]The Depth Of Market (DOM) tool allows traders to look under the hood of any market, taking price and volume analysis to the next level. The following features are included: DOM, Time & Sales, Volume Profile, Depth of Market, Imbalances, Buying Pressure, and up to 24 key intraday levels (it really packs a punch).
As a disclaimer, this tool does not use tick data, it is a DOM reconstruction from the provided real-time time series data (price and volume). So the volume you see is from filled orders only, this tool does not show unfilled limit orders.
Traders can enable or disable any of the features at will to avoid being overwhelmed with too much information and to make the tool perform faster.
The features that have the biggest impact on performance are Historical Data Collection, Key Levels (POC & VWAP), Time & Sales, Profile, and Imbalances. Disable these features to improve the indicator computational performance.
🔶 DOM
This is the simplest form of the tool, a simple DOM or ladder that displays the following columns:
PRICE: Price level
BID: Total number of market sell orders filled or limit buy orders filled.
SELL: Sell market orders
BUY: Buy market orders
ASK: Total number of market buy orders filled or limit sell orders filled.
The DOM only collects historical data from the last 24 hours and real-time data.
Traders can select a reset period for the DOM with two options:
DAILY: Resets at the beginning of each trading day
SESSIONS: Resets twice, as DAILY and 15.5 hours later, to coincide with the start of the RTH session for US tickers.
The DOM has two main modes, it can display price levels as ticks or points. The default is automatic based on the current daily volatility, but traders can manually force one mode or the other if they wish.
For convenience, traders have the option to set the number of lines (price levels), and the size of the text and to display only real-time data.
By default, the top price is set to 0 so that the DOM automatically adjusts the price levels to be displayed, but traders can set the top price manually so that the tool displays only the desired price levels in a fixed manner.
🔹 Volume Profile
As additional features to the basic DOM, traders have access to the volume profile histogram and the total volume per price level.
This helps traders identify at a glance key price areas where volume is accumulating (high volume nodes) or areas where volume is lacking (low volume nodes) - these areas are important to some traders who base their decision-making process on them.
🔹 Imbalances
Other added features are imbalances and buying pressure:
Interlevel Imbalance: volume delta between two different price levels
Intralevel Imbalance: delta between buy and sell volume at the same price level
Buying Pressure Percent: percentage of buy volume compared to total volume
Imbalances can help traders identify areas of interest in the price for possible support or resistance.
🔹 Depth
Depth allows traders to see at a glance how much supply is above the current price level or how much demand is below the current price level.
Above the current price level shows the cumulative ask volume (filled sell limit orders) and below the current price level shows the cumulative bid volume (filled buy limit orders).
🔶 KEY LEVELS
The tool includes up to 24 different key intraday levels of particular relevance:
Previous Week Levels
PWH: Previous week high
PWL: Previous week low
PWM: Previous week middle
PWS: Previous week settlement (close)
Previous Day Levels
PDH: Previous day high
PDL: Previous day low
PDM: Previous day middle
PDS: Previous day settlement (close)
Current Day Levels
OPEN: Open of day (or session)
HOD: High of day (or session)
LOD: Low of day (or session)
MOD: Middle of day (or session)
Opening Range
ORH: Open range high
ORL: Open range low
Initial Balance
IBH: Initial balance high
IBL: Initial balance low
VWAP
+3SD: Volume weighted average price plus 3 standard deviations
+2SD: Volume weighted average price plus 2 standard deviations
+1SD: Volume weighted average price plus 1 standard deviation
VWAP: Volume weighted average price
-1SD: Volume weighted average price minus 1 standard deviation
-2SD: Volume weighted average price minus 2 standard deviations
-3SD: Volume weighted average price minus 3 standard deviations
POC: Point of control
Different traders look at different levels, the key levels shown here are objective and specific areas of interest that traders can act on, providing us with potential areas of support or resistance in the price.
🔶 TIME & SALES
The tool also features a full-time and sales panel with time, price, and size columns, a size filter, and the ability to set the timezone to display time in the trader's local time.
The information shown here is what feeds the DOM and it can be useful in several ways, for example in detecting absorption. If a large number of orders are coming into the market but the price is barely moving, this indicates that there is enough liquidity at these levels to absorb all these orders, so if these orders stop coming into the market, the price may turn around.
🔶 SETTINGS
Period: Select the anchoring period to start data collection, DAILY will anchor at the start of the trading day, and SESSIONS will start as DAILY and 15.5 hours later (RTH for US tickers).
Mode: Select between AUTO and MANUAL modes for displaying TICKS or POINTS, in AUTO mode the tool will automatically select TICKS for tickers with a daily average volatility below 5000 ticks and POINTS for the rest of the tickers.
Rows: Select the number of price levels to display
Text Size: Select the text size

Overnight Bias: Net Long/Short with PercentOvernight bias can assist with NY session gap fades or gap and go trading once the NY session is open.
Some general gap rules are:
1. Gap Direction Aligned with Overnight Bias
Rule: If the NY session gaps up and the overnight bias is Net Long (e.g., >60% of bars above the overnight open), favor longs.
Confirmation: Look for price to hold above overnight open or VWAP.
Invalidation: If price re-enters the overnight range, reassess.
2. Gap Opposing Overnight Bias (Contrarian Setup)
Rule: If the NY opens opposite the overnight bias, expect potential gap fill or reversal.
Trade Bias: Look for retracement back toward the overnight open or VWAP.
Example: Overnight was Net Long, but NY gaps down → wait for reclaim of VWAP to go long, else fade strength.
3. Gap Into Prior Day Value Area (VAH to VAL)
Rule: If the NY session gaps into the prior day value area:
It implies mean reversion behavior.
Expect price to rotate toward the POC (point of control).
Trade Bias: Fade toward POC if overnight bias is balanced or opposite the gap direction.
4. Gap Outside Prior Day Value Area
Rule: A gap above VAH or below VAL suggests potential breakout or new trend day.
Trade Bias: If overnight bias aligns (e.g., gap above VAH + Net Long overnight), consider trend continuation.
Invalidation: If price breaks back inside the prior day value area, watch for failed breakout → fade trade possible.
5. Gap Above Prior Day High / Below Prior Day Low
Rule: This is a true breakout gap.
Above Prior High + Net Long Bias: Look for continuation.
Below Prior Low + Net Short Bias: Look for sell pressure continuation.
Trade Bias: Use pullbacks to the prior high/low or overnight open for continuation setups.
6. Gap Within Prior Day Range
Rule: If the NY open is within the prior day’s high and low, expect chop or balanced conditions.
Trade Bias: Use overnight VWAP and prior POC as decision zones. Be cautious unless a breakout occurs.
7. Failed Gap and Re-entry into Prior Day Range
Rule: If price gaps above prior high but re-enters the prior range, it's a failed breakout.
Trade Bias: Look for a fade back to VAH or POC.
Confirmation: Watch for breakdown below overnight VWAP or failure to hold overnight open.
8. Gap + Overnight VWAP Divergence
Rule: If price gaps opposite the direction of VWAP (e.g., VWAP rising, gap down), wait for confirmation.
Trade Bias: Be cautious with early trades. Bias may flip if VWAP is reclaimed.
9. Gap + Overnight Open Test
Rule: If price opens with a gap and then retests the overnight open, that level becomes a decision zone.
Trade Bias:
Hold above = trend continuation.
Rejection = gap fill or reversal.
10. Unfilled Gap = Trend Bias
Rule: If the gap remains unfilled for the first 30–60 minutes, it increases the odds of a trend day.
Trade Bias: Trade pullbacks in the direction of the gap and overnight bias.
Should anyone have suggestion to add please do so.
Constance Brown RSI with Composite IndexConstance Brown RSI with Composite Index
Overview
This indicator combines Constance Brown's RSI interpretation methodology with a Composite Index and ATR Distance to VWAP measurement to provide a comprehensive trading tool. It helps identify trends, momentum shifts, overbought/oversold conditions, and potential reversal points.
Key Features
Color-coded RSI zones for immediate trend identification
Composite Index for momentum analysis and divergence detection
ATR Distance to VWAP for identifying extreme price deviations
Automatic divergence detection for early reversal warnings
Pre-configured alerts for key trading signals
How to Use This Indicator
Trend Identification
The RSI line changes color based on its position:
Blue zone (RSI > 50): Bullish trend - look for buying opportunities
Purple zone (RSI < 50): Bearish trend - look for selling opportunities
Gray zone (RSI 40-60): Neutral/transitional market - prepare for potential breakout
The 40-50 area (light blue fill) acts as support during uptrends, while the 50-60 area (light purple fill) acts as resistance during downtrends.
// From the code:
upTrendZone = rsiValue > 50 and rsiValue <= 90
downTrendZone = rsiValue < 50 and rsiValue >= 10
neutralZone = rsiValue > 40 and rsiValue < 60
rsiColor = neutralZone ? neutralRSI : upTrendZone ? upTrendRSI : downTrendRSI
Momentum Analysis
The Composite Index (fuchsia line) provides momentum confirmation:
Values above 50 indicate positive momentum
Values below 40 indicate negative momentum
Crossing above/below these thresholds signals potential momentum shifts
// From the code:
compositeIndexRaw = rsiChange / ta.stdev(rsiValue, rsiLength)
compositeIndex = ta.sma(compositeIndexRaw, compositeSmoothing)
compositeScaled = compositeIndex * 10 + 50 // Scaled to fit 0-100 range
Overbought/Oversold Detection
The ATR Distance to VWAP table in the top-right corner shows how far price has moved from VWAP in terms of ATR units:
Extreme positive values (orange/red): Potentially overbought
Extreme negative values (purple/red): Potentially oversold
Near zero (gray): Price near average value
// From the code:
priceDistance = (close - vwapValue) / ta.atr(atrPeriod)
// Color coding based on distance value
Divergence Trading
The indicator automatically detects divergences between the Composite Index and price:
Bullish divergence: Price makes lower low but Composite Index makes higher low
Bearish divergence: Price makes higher high but Composite Index makes lower high
// From the code:
divergenceBullish = ta.lowest(compositeIndex, rsiLength) > ta.lowest(close, rsiLength)
divergenceBearish = ta.highest(compositeIndex, rsiLength) < ta.highest(close, rsiLength)
Trading Strategies
Trend Following
1. Identify the trend using RSI color:
Blue = Uptrend, Purple = Downtrend
2. Wait for pullbacks to support/resistance zones:
In uptrends: Buy when RSI pulls back to 40-50 zone and bounces
In downtrends: Sell when RSI rallies to 50-60 zone and rejects
3. Confirm with Composite Index:
Uptrends: Composite Index stays above 50 or quickly returns above it
Downtrends: Composite Index stays below 50 or quickly returns below it
4. Manage risk using ATR Distance:
Take profits when ATR Distance reaches extreme values
Place stops beyond recent swing points
Reversal Trading
1. Look for divergences
Bullish: Price makes lower low but Composite Index makes higher low
Bearish: Price makes higher high but Composite Index makes lower high
2. Confirm with ATR Distance:
Extreme readings suggest potential reversals
3. Wait for RSI zone transition:
Bullish: RSI crosses above 40 (purple to neutral/blue)
Bearish: RSI crosses below 60 (blue to neutral/purple)
4. Enter after confirmation:
Use candlestick patterns for precise entry
Place stops beyond the divergence point
Four pre-configured alerts are available:
Momentum High: Composite Index above 50
Momentum Low: Composite Index below 40
Bullish Divergence: Composite Index higher low
Bearish Divergence: Composite Index lower high
Customization
Adjust these parameters to optimize for your trading style:
RSI Length: Default 14, lower for more sensitivity, higher for fewer signals
Composite Index Smoothing: Default 10, lower for quicker signals, higher for less noise
ATR Period: Default 14, affects the ATR Distance to VWAP calculation
This indicator works well across various markets and timeframes, though the default settings are optimized for daily charts. Adjust parameters for shorter or longer timeframes as needed.
Happy trading!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. INDICATOR OVERVIEW & CORE FUNCTIONALITY
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The LOI indicator combines multiple VWAP calculations with moving averages across different timeframes. It's designed to show where institutional money is flowing and help identify key support and resistance levels that actually matter in today's markets.
Primary Functions:
- Multi-timeframe VWAP analysis (Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Yearly)
- Advanced moving average integration (EMA, SMA, HMA)
- Real-time trend direction detection
- Institutional flow analysis
- Dynamic support/resistance identification
Target Users: Day traders, swing traders, position traders, and institutional analysts seeking comprehensive market structure analysis.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. VWAP FOUNDATION & HISTORICAL CONTEXT
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Historical Development: VWAP started in the 1980s when big institutional traders needed a way to measure if they were getting good fills on their massive orders. Unlike regular price averages, VWAP weighs each price by the volume traded at that level. This makes it incredibly useful because it shows you where most of the real money changed hands.
Mathematical Foundation: The basic math is simple: you take each price, multiply it by the volume at that price, add them all up, then divide by total volume. What you get is the true "average" price that reflects actual trading activity, not just random price movements.
Formula: VWAP = Σ(Price × Volume) / Σ(Volume)
Where typical price = (High + Low + Close) / 3
Institutional Behavior Patterns:
- When price trades above VWAP, institutions often look to sell
- When it's below, they're usually buying
- Creates natural support and resistance that you can actually trade against
- Serves as benchmark for execution quality assessment
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. MULTI-TIMEFRAME VWAP ANALYSIS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Core Innovation: Here's where LOI gets interesting. Instead of just showing daily VWAP like most indicators, it displays four different timeframes simultaneously:
**Daily VWAP Implementation**:
- Resets every morning at market open
- Provides clearest picture of intraday institutional sentiment
- Primary tool for day trading strategies
- Most responsive to immediate market conditions
**Weekly VWAP System**:
- Resets each Monday (or first trading day)
- Smooths out daily noise and volatility
- Perfect for swing trades lasting several days to weeks
- Captures weekly institutional positioning
**Monthly VWAP Analysis**:
- Resets at beginning of each calendar month
- Captures bigger institutional rebalancing at month-end
- Fund managers often operate on monthly mandates
- Significant weight in intermediate-term analysis
**Yearly VWAP Perspective**:
- Resets annually for full-year institutional view
- Shows long-term institutional positioning
- Where pension funds and sovereign wealth funds operate
- Critical for major trend identification
Confluence Zone Theory: The magic happens when multiple VWAP levels cluster together. These confluence zones often become major turning points because different types of institutional money all see value at the same price.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. MOVING AVERAGE INTEGRATION SYSTEM
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Multi-Type Implementation: The indicator includes three types of moving averages, each with its own personality and application:
**Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs)**:
- React quickly to recent price changes
- Displayed as solid lines for easy identification
- Optimal performance in trending market conditions
- Higher sensitivity to current price action
**Simple Moving Averages (SMAs)**:
- Treat all historical data points equally
- Appear as dashed lines in visual display
- Slower response but more reliable in choppy conditions
- Traditional approach favored by institutional traders
**Hull Moving Averages (HMAs)**:
- Newest addition to the system (dotted line display)
- Created by Alan Hull in 2005
- Solves classic moving average dilemma: speed vs. accuracy
- Manages to be both responsive and smooth simultaneously
Technical Innovation: Alan Hull's solution addresses the fundamental problem where moving averages are either too slow (missing moves) or too fast (generating false signals). HMAs achieve optimal balance through weighted calculation methodology.
Period Configuration:
- 5-period: Short-term momentum assessment
- 50-period: Intermediate trend identification
- 200-period: Long-term directional confirmation
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. TREND DIRECTION SIGNAL DETECTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Real-Time Momentum Analysis: One of LOI's best features is its real-time trend detection system. Next to each moving average, visual symbols provide immediate trend assessment:
Symbol System:
- ▲ Rising average (bullish momentum confirmation)
- ▼ Falling average (bearish momentum indication)
- ► Flat average (consolidation or indecision period)
Update Frequency: These signals update in real-time with each new price tick and function across all configured timeframes. Traders can quickly scan daily and weekly trends to assess alignment or conflicting signals.
Multi-Timeframe Trend Analysis:
- Simultaneous daily and weekly trend comparison
- Immediate identification of trend alignment
- Early warning system for potential reversals
- Momentum confirmation for entry decisions
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. VISUAL DESIGN & DISPLAY FEATURES
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Color Psychology Framework: The color scheme isn't random but based on psychological associations and trading conventions:
- **Blue Tones**: Institutional neutrality (VWAP levels)
- **Green Spectrum**: Growth and stability (weekly timeframes)
- **Purple Range**: Longer-term sophistication (monthly analysis)
- **Orange Hues**: Importance and attention (yearly perspective)
- **Red Tones**: User-defined significance (custom levels)
Adaptive Display Technology: The indicator automatically adjusts decimal places based on the instrument you're trading. High-priced stocks show 2 decimals, while penny stocks might show 8. This keeps the display incredibly clean regardless of what you're analyzing - no cluttered charts or overwhelming information overload.
Smart Labeling System: Advanced positioning algorithm automatically spaces all elements to prevent overlap, even during extreme zoom levels or multiple timeframe analysis. Every level stays clearly readable without any visual chaos disrupting your analysis.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7. CUSTOM LEVEL INTEGRATION
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
User-Defined Level System: Beyond the calculated VWAP and moving average levels, traders can add custom horizontal lines at any price point for personalized analysis.
Strategic Applications:
- **Psychological Levels**: Round numbers, previous significant highs/lows
- **Technical Levels**: Fibonacci retracements, pivot points
- **Fundamental Targets**: Analyst price targets, earnings estimates
- **Risk Management**: Stop-loss and take-profit zones
Integration Features:
- Seamless incorporation with smart labeling system
- Custom color selection for visual organization
- Extension capabilities across all chart timeframes
- Maintains display clarity with existing indicators
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8. REPAINT PROTECTION TECHNOLOGY
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Critical Trading Feature: This addresses one of the most significant issues in live trading applications. Most multi-timeframe indicators "repaint," meaning they display different signals when viewing historical data versus real-time analysis.
Protection Benefits:
- Ensures every displayed signal could have been traded when it appeared
- Eliminates discrepancies between historical and live analysis
- Provides realistic performance expectations
- Maintains signal integrity across chart refreshes
Configuration Options:
- **Protection Enabled**: Default setting for live trading
- **Protection Disabled**: Available for backtesting analysis
- User-selectable toggle based on analysis requirements
- Applies to all multi-timeframe calculations
Implementation Note: With protection enabled, signals may appear one bar later than without protection, but this ensures all signals represent actionable opportunities that could have been executed in real-time market conditions.

9. PRACTICAL TRADING APPLICATIONS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
**Day Trading Strategy**:
Focus on daily VWAP with 5-period moving averages. Look for bounces off VWAP or breaks through it with volume. Short-term momentum signals provide entry and exit timing.
**Swing Trading Approach**:
Weekly VWAP becomes your primary anchor point, with 50-period averages showing intermediate trends. Position sizing based on weekly VWAP distance.
**Position Trading Method**:
Monthly and yearly VWAP provide broad market context, while 200-period averages confirm long-term directional bias. Suitable for multi-week to multi-month holdings.
**Multi-Timeframe Confluence Strategy**:
The highest-probability setups occur when daily, weekly, and monthly VWAPs cluster together, especially when multiple moving averages confirm the same direction. These represent institutional consensus zones.
Risk Management Integration:
- VWAP levels serve as dynamic stop-loss references
- Multiple timeframe confirmation reduces false signals
- Institutional flow analysis improves position sizing decisions
- Trend direction signals optimize entry and exit timing
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10. SETUP & CONFIGURATION RECOMMENDATIONS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Initial Configuration: Start with default settings and adjust based on individual trading style and market focus. Short-term traders should emphasize daily and weekly timeframes, while longer-term investors benefit from monthly and yearly level analysis.
Transparency Optimization: The transparency settings allow clear price action visibility while maintaining level reference points. Most traders find 70-80% transparency optimal - it provides a clean, unobstructed view of price movement while maintaining all critical reference levels needed for analysis.
Integration Strategy: Remember that no indicator functions effectively in isolation. LOI provides excellent context for institutional flow and trend direction analysis, but should be combined with complementary analysis tools for optimal results.
Performance Considerations:
- Multiple timeframe calculations may impact chart loading speed
- Adjust displayed timeframes based on trading frequency
- Customize color schemes for different market sessions
- Regular review and adjustment of custom levels
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FINAL ANALYSIS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Competitive Advantage: What makes LOI different is its focus on where real money actually trades. By combining volume-weighted calculations with multiple timeframes and trend detection, it cuts through market noise to show you what institutions are really doing.
Key Success Factor: Understanding that different timeframes serve different purposes is essential. Use them together to build a complete picture of market structure, then execute trades accordingly.
The integration of institutional flow analysis with technical trend detection creates a comprehensive trading tool that addresses both short-term tactical decisions and longer-term strategic positioning.

Module C: Safe Scaffold (足場と勢い)
EMA (9/20) & VWAP: トレンドフォローのための主要な移動平均線。
Bollinger Bands: ボラティリティの確認用（ON/OFF可能）。
Signal: EMAクロスとバンド幅拡大（スクイーズからのエクスパンション）を検知したロングサインを表示。
Module D: S/R Guardian (水平線)
過去のPivot点をベースに、意識されやすいサポート・レジスタンスラインを自動描画します。
強度に基づいてラインが統合され、重要度が高い価格帯を可視化します。
推奨される使い方 すべてのモジュールを常にONにする必要はありません。チャートが情報過多にならないよう、必要な機能だけを選択して表示してください。 例えば、「S/Rライン」での反発、「Dow Structure」でのBOS、「Gap」の埋め完了など、3つ以上の根拠が重なるポイントは、優位性の高いエントリーポイントとなります。
--------------
Overview Ind-Suite is a comprehensive trading suite that integrates four essential elements (Gaps, Market Structure, Moving Averages, and Support/Resistance) into a single indicator. The goal of this tool is not to rely on a single signal, but to visually identify "Confluence" where multiple factors align.
Feature Modules You can instantly toggle each module ON/OFF via the "⚡ MODULE TOGGLES ⚡" in the settings.
Module A: Gaps
Highlights unclosed gaps with boxes.
These act as price magnets/targets. Old gaps are automatically hidden after a set period.
Module B: Dow Structure (Trend & Market Structure)
Draws ZigZag waves and determines trend status based on pivot points.
BOS (Break of Structure): Labels are displayed at key breakout points confirming trend continuation.
Background color changes during downtrends for instant visual recognition.
Module C: Safe Scaffold (Momentum & MAs)
EMA (9/20) & VWAP: Key moving averages for trend following.
Bollinger Bands: For volatility analysis (Toggle available).
Signal: Displays Long signals upon EMA crossover combined with BBW expansion (volatility breakout).
Module D: S/R Guardian (Support & Resistance)
Automatically draws S/R zones based on historical pivot points.
Levels are merged based on proximity, visualizing significant price zones.
Recommended Usage It is not necessary to keep all modules ON at all times. Toggle features as needed to keep your chart clean. High-probability setups are often found where multiple factors converge (Confluence). For example: A bounce off an "S/R Line," confirmed by a "BOS" in Dow Structure, coinciding with a "Gap" fill.
X AVWAP DSOA powerful, non-overlay momentum indicator designed to measure the relationship between current price action and key Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) structures. It provides traders with a refined, configurable view of momentum by combining the **magnitude of price separation** with the **trend momentum** of the volume anchor.
---
### Core Calculation and Principle
This oscillator moves beyond simple price-vs-average separation by integrating the momentum (slope) of the volume average itself. The indicator is built around two primary components:
1. **Distance (D):** This is the magnitude of separation, calculated as the difference between the **closing price** and the selected **AVWAP Anchor Source** ($D = \text{Close} - \text{AVWAP}$).
2. **Slope (S):** This represents the **trend momentum** of the VWAP, calculated as the change in the smoothed AVWAP over a defined lookback period.
The final oscillator value is determined by the selected **Combination Method**, giving the user control over how these two factors interact:
* **Addition (Baseline):** The oscillator value is $D + S$. This provides a balanced view where the price separation is slightly adjusted by the VWAP's momentum.
* **Weighted Addition:** The oscillator value is $D + (S \times \text{Weight})$. This is a powerful feature that **allows the user to prioritize the impact of the Slope (trend momentum) over the Distance (magnitude)** using a customizable multiplier called the **Slope Weight**.
---
### Customization and Flexibility
The indicator's value lies in its deep configurability, allowing it to adapt to different trading strategies and timeframes:
* **AVWAP Anchor Source:** You can toggle between two critical VWAP reset structures for context:
* **4H Session VWAP:** Uses fixed, sequential 4-hour VWAP segments (e.g., 18:00, 22:00 NY Time) for tracking short-term structural shifts.
* **Daily AVWAP (ETH 18:00):** Uses a single, continuous VWAP anchored from the Electronic Trading Hours (ETH) open at 18:00 NY Time, providing a broader, sustained volume-weighted average context.
* **VWAP Price Source:** The underlying price used to calculate the VWAP itself is selectable (options include Close, OHLC4, HLC3, Open, High, and Low).
* **Plot Style:** Toggle between a continuous **Line** plot (for tracking fine movements) and a color-coded **Histogram** (for clear magnitude and directional reading, with Blue for positive and Red for negative).
### Trading Application
The AVWAP Distance & Slope Oscillator is a sophisticated tool best used to identify:
* **Zero-Line Crosses:** Signifying price crossing the underlying volume anchor while accounting for the anchor's own momentum.
* **Momentum Confirmation:** A high positive reading indicates price is strongly above the VWAP, and the VWAP itself is actively rising (strong bullish momentum).
* **Filtered Signals:** By adjusting the **Slope Weight** (in the Weighted Addition method), traders can amplify signals when the structural trend (VWAP slope) is strong, helping to filter out minor price fluctuations that occur when the VWAP is relatively flat.
X Tail that Wagsintraday session-framework and ETH-anchored VWAP tool for TradingView. It draws today’s OVN (ETH) high/mid/low, today’s RTH-day open, previous day open/high/low, and a carried ETH VWAP handle (yesterday’s 4:00 PM NY VWAP, projected forward) to give you a clean, non-repainting scaffold for bias, structure, and execution. All timestamps are New York–local with DST handled explicitly, so historical sessions align correctly across time changes.
Key Capabilities
ETH OVN Range (18:00 → 09:30 NY)
Captures the rolling overnight high/low and computes the mid; at 09:30 NY it locks those levels and extends them to 16:00 NY (same day).
Optional labels (size/color configurable) placed slightly to the right of the 4 PM timestamp for readability.
Daily Handles (Today & Previous Day)
Today’s open line starts at the ETH open (anchor preserved) and extends toward 4 PM NY (or up to the “current bar + 5 bars” cap), with label control.
Previous day open/high/low plotted as discrete reference lines for carry-over structure.
ETH-Anchored VWAP (Live) + Bands
ETH-anchored VWAP runs only during the active ETH session (DST-aware).
Optional VWAP bands (0.5×, 1.0×, 2.0× multipliers) plotted as line-break series.
Carried ETH VWAP Handle (PD 4 PM Snapshot)
At 16:00 NY, the script snapshots the final ETH VWAP value.
On the next ETH open, it projects that value as a static dashed line through the session (non-mutating, non-repainting), with optional label.
Labeling & Styling
Single-toggle label system with color and five sizes.
Per-line color/width controls for quick visual hierarchy.
Internal “tail” logic keeps right endpoints near price (open-anchored lines extend to min(4 PM, now + 5 bars)), avoiding chart-wide overdraw.
Robust Session Logic
All session boundaries computed in NY local time; DST rules applied for historical bars.
Cross-midnight windows handled safely (no gaps or misalignment around day rolls).
Primary Use Cases
Session Bias & Context
Use OVN H/M/L and today’s open to define structural bias zones before RTH begins. A break-and-hold above OVN mid, for example, can filter long ideas; conversely, rejection at OVN high can warn of mean reversion.
Carry-Forward Mean/Value Reference
The carried ETH VWAP (PD 4 PM) acts as a “value memory” line for the next day. Traders can:
Fade tests away from it in balanced conditions,
Use it as a pullback/acceptance gauge during trends,
Track liquidity grabs when price spikes through and reclaims.
Execution Planning & Risk
Anchor stops/targets around PD H/L and OVN H/M/L for well-defined invalidation.
Combine with your entry model (order-flow, momentum, or pattern) to time fades at range extremes or momentum breaks from OVN mid.
Confluence Mapping
Layer the tool with opening range tools, HTF zones, or profile/VWAPs (weekly/daily) to spot high-quality confluence where multiple references cluster.
Regime & Day-Type Read
Quickly see whether RTH accepts/rejects the OVN range or gravitates to PD VWAP handle, helping classify the day (trend, balanced, double-distribution, etc.).
Quick Start
Apply to your intraday chart (any instrument supported by TradingView; best on ≤15m for live intraday context).
In Current Day group, keep Open and OVN HL on; optionally display the mid.
In Previous Day group, enable PD Open/HL for carry-over levels.
Enable AVWAP if you want live ETH-anchored VWAP and its Bands for distance context.
Keep PD VWAP on to project yesterday’s 4 PM ETH VWAP as a static dashed line into today.
Use the Label group to size/color the on-chart tags.
Settings Overview (Plain-English)
Label: Toggle labels on/off; choose label text color and size.
Current Day:
Open (color/width) — daily open line anchored at ETH open.
OVN HL (and Mid) — overnight high/low and midpoint, locked at 09:30 and extended to 16:00.
AVWAP + Bands — ETH-anchored VWAP with optional 0.5×/1×/2× bands.
Previous Day:
PD Open/HL — yesterday’s daily handles.
PD VWAP — the carried snapshot of yesterday’s 4 PM ETH VWAP projected forward (dashed).
Notes & Best Practices
Time Zone: All session logic is hard-coded to America/New_York and DST-robust. No manual DST tweaks required.
Non-Repainting: The carried PD VWAP line is a snapshot; once drawn, it does not back-fill or mutate.
Intraday Use: Designed for intraday execution. It will display on higher TFs, but the session granularity is most informative at ≤15m.
Performance: Script caps lines/labels (500) and uses short “tails” to keep charts responsive.
Compatibility: Uses request.security(..., "D", series, lookahead_on) intentionally to lock daily handles early for planning; this is by design.
Typical Playbook Examples
Fade Extremes in Balance: As RTH opens inside OVN, look for rejection wicks at OVN High with confluence from PD VWAP handle overhead; risk above OVN High.
Trend Continuation: In directional sessions, acceptances above OVN Mid with price pulling back to the live ETH VWAP can offer continuation entries.
Reversion to Value: Sharp extensions away from the carried PD VWAP that quickly stall often revert to that handle; use it as a target or as an acceptance test.
RightFlow Universal Volume Profile - Any Market Any TimeframeSummary in one paragraph
RightFlow is a right anchored microstructure volume profile for stocks, futures, FX, and liquid crypto on intraday and daily timeframes. It acts only when several conditions align inside a session window and presents the result as a compact right side profile with value area, POC, a bull bear mix by price bin, and a HUD of profile VWAP and pressure shares. It is original because it distributes each bar’s weight into multiple mid price slices, blends bull bear pressure per bin with a CLV based split, and grows the profile to the right so price action stays readable. Add to a clean chart, read the table, and use the visuals. For conservative workflows read on bar close.
Scope and intent
• Markets. Major FX pairs, index futures, large cap equities and ETFs, liquid crypto.
• Timeframes. One minute to daily.
• Default demo used in the publication. SPY on 15 minute.
• Purpose. See where participation concentrates, which side dominated by price level, and how far price sits from VA and POC.
Originality and usefulness
• Unique fusion. Right anchored growth plus per bar slicing and CLV split, with weight modes Raw, Notional, and DeltaProxy.
• Failure mode addressed. False reads from single bar direction and coarse binning.
• Testability. All parts sit in Inputs and the HUD.
• Portable yardstick. Value Area percent and POC are universal across symbols.
• Protected scripts. Not applicable. Method and use are fully disclosed.
Method overview in plain language
Pick a scope Rolling or Today or This Week. Define a window and number of price bins. For each bar, split its range into small slices, assign each slice a weight from the selected mode, and split that weight by CLV or by bar direction. Accumulate totals per bin. Find the bin with the highest total as POC. Expand left and right until the chosen share of total volume is covered to form the value area. Compute profile VWAP for all, buyers, and sellers and show them with pressure shares.
Base measures
Range basis. High minus low and mid price samples across the bar window.
Return basis. Not used. VWAP trio is price weighted by weights.
Components
• RightFlow Bins. Price histogram that grows to the right.
• Bull Bear Split. CLV based 0 to 1 share or pure bar direction.
• Weight Mode. Raw volume, notional volume times close, or DeltaProxy focus.
• Value Area Engine. POC then outward expansion to target share.
• HUD. Profile VWAP, Buy and Sell percent, winner delta, split and weight mode.
• Session windows optional. Scope resets on day or week.
Fusion rule
Color of each bin is the convex blend of bull and bear shares. Value area shading is lighter inside and darker outside.
Signal rule
This is context, not a trade signal. A strong separation between buy and sell percent with price holding inside VA often confirms balance. Price outside VA with skewed pressure often marks initiative moves.
What you will see on the chart
• Right side bins with blended colors.
• A POC line across the profile width.
• Labels for POC, VAH, and VAL.
• A compact HUD table in the top right.
Table fields and quick reading guide
• VWAP. Profile VWAP.
• Buy and Sell. Pressure shares in percent.
• Delta Winner. Winner side and margin in percent.
• Split and Weight. The active modes.
Reading tip. When Session scope is Today or This Week and Buy minus Sell is clearly positive or negative, that side often controls the day’s narrative.
Inputs with guidance
Setup
• Profile scope. Rolling or session reset. Rolling uses window bars.
• Rolling window bars. Typical 100 to 300. Larger is smoother.
Binning
• Price bins. Typical 32 to 128. More bins increase detail.
• Slices per bar. Typical 3 to 7. Raising it smooths distribution.
Weighting
• Weight mode. Raw, Notional, DeltaProxy. Notional emphasizes expensive prints.
• Bull Bear split. CLV or BarDir. CLV is more nuanced.
• Value Area percent. Typical 68 to 75.
View
• Profile width in bars, color split toggle, value area shading, opacities, POC line, VA labels.
Usage recipes
Intraday trend focus
• Scope Today, bins 64, slices 5, Value Area 70.
• Split CLV, Weight Notional.
Intraday mean reversion
• Scope Today, bins 96, Value Area 75.
• Watch fades back to POC after initiative pushes.
Swing continuation
• Scope Rolling 200 bars, bins 48.
• Use Buy Sell skew with price relative to VA.
Realism and responsible publication
No performance claims. Shapes can move while a bar forms and settle on close. Education only.
Honest limitations and failure modes
Thin liquidity and data gaps can distort bin weights. Very quiet regimes reduce contrast. Session time is the chart venue time.
Open source reuse and credits
None.
Legal
Education and research only. Not investment advice. Test on history and simulation before live use.

Changing of the GuardChanging of the Guard (COG) - Advanced Reversal Pattern Indicator
🎯 What It Does
The Changing of the Guard (COG) indicator identifies high-probability reversal setups by detecting specific candlestick patterns that occur at key institutional levels. This indicator combines traditional price action analysis with volume-weighted and moving average confluence to filter out noise and focus on the most reliable trading opportunities.
🔧 Key Features
Multi-Timeframe VWAP Analysis
• Daily VWAP (Gray circles) - Intraday institutional reference
• Weekly VWAP (Yellow circles) - Short-term institutional bias
• Monthly VWAP (Orange circles) - Long-term institutional sentiment
Triple EMA System
• EMA 20 (Blue) - Short-term trend direction
• EMA 50 (Purple) - Medium-term momentum
• EMA 200 (Navy) - Long-term market structure
Adaptive COG Pattern Detection
• 2-Bar Mode: Quick reversal signals for scalping
• 3-Bar Mode: Balanced approach for swing trading (default)
• 4-Bar Mode: Conservative signals for position trading
📊 How It Works
The indicator identifies "changing of the guard" moments when:
1. Pattern Formation: 2-4 consecutive bars show exhaustion in one direction
2. Reversal Confirmation: A counter-trend bar appears with strong momentum
3. Confluence Trigger: The reversal bar crosses through a significant VWAP or EMA level
Bullish COG: Green triangle appears below bars when bearish exhaustion meets bullish reversal at key support
Bearish COG: Red triangle appears above bars when bullish exhaustion meets bearish reversal at key resistance
💡 Trading Applications
Swing Trading: Use 3-bar mode with EMA 50/200 confluence for multi-day holds
Day Trading: Use 2-bar mode with Daily VWAP confluence for intraday reversals
Position Trading: Use 4-bar mode with Monthly VWAP confluence for major trend changes
⚙️ Customization Options
• Toggle VWAP display on/off
• Toggle EMA display on/off
• Toggle COG signals on/off
• Select detection mode (2-bar, 3-bar, 4-bar)
• Built-in alert system for automated notifications
🎨 Visual Design
Clean, professional interface with:
• Subtle dotted lines for VWAPs to avoid chart clutter
• Color-coded EMAs for easy trend identification
• Clear triangle signals that don't obstruct price action
• Customizable display options for different trading styles
📈 Best Practices
• Combine with volume analysis for additional confirmation
• Use higher timeframe bias to filter trade direction
