Volume Profile Free Pro (25 Levels Value Area VWAP) by RRBVolume Profile Free Pro by RagingRocketBull 2019
Version 1.0
All available Volume Profile Free Pro versions are listed below (They are very similar and I don't want to publish them as separate indicators):
ver 1.0: style columns implementation
ver 2.0: style histogram implementation
ver 3.0: style line implementation
This indicator calculates Volume Profile for a given range and shows it as a histogram consisting of 25 horizontal bars.
It can also show Point of Control (POC), Developing POC, Value Area/VWAP StdDev High/Low as dynamically moving levels.
Free accounts can't access Standard TradingView Volume Profile, hence this indicator.
There are 3 basic methods to calculate the Value Area for a session.
- original method developed by Steidlmayr (calculated around POC)
- classical method using StdDev (calculated around the mean VWAP)
- another method based on the mean absolute deviation (calculated around the median)
POC is a high volume node and can be used as support/resistance. But when far from the day's average price it may not be as good a trend filter as the other methods.
The 80% Rule: When the market opens above/below the Value Area and then returns/stays back inside for 2 consecutive 30min periods it has 80% chance of filling VA (like a gap).
There are several versions: Free, Free Pro, Free MAX. This is the Free Pro version. The Differences are listed below:
- Free: 30 levels, Buy/Sell/Total Volume Profile views, POC
- Free Pro: 25 levels, +Developing POC, Value Area/VWAP High/Low Levels, Above/Below Area Dimming
- Free MAX: 50 levels, packed to the limit
Features:
- Volume Profile with up to 25 levels (3 implementations)
- POC, Developing POC Levels
- Buy/Sell/Total/Side by Side View modes
- Side Cover
- Value Area, VAH/VAL dynamic levels
- VWAP High/Low dynamic levels with Source, Length, StdDev as params
- Show/Hide all levels
- Dim Non Value Area Zones
- Custom Range with Highlighting
- 3 Anchor points for Volume Profile
- Flip Levels Horizontally
- Adjustable width, offset and spacing of levels
- Custom Color for POC/VA/VWAP levels and Transparency for buy/sell levels
Usage:
- specify max_level/min_level for a range (required in ver 1.0/2.0, auto/optional in ver 3.0 = set to highest/lowest)
- select range (start_bar, range length), confirm with range highlighting
- select mode Value Area or VWAP to show corresponding levels.
- flip/select anchor point to position the buy/sell levels, adjust width and spacing as needed
- select Buy/Sell/Total/Side by Side view mode
- use POC/Developing POC/VA/VWAP High/Low as S/R levels. Usually daily values from 1-3 days back are used as levels for the current day.
- Green - buy volume of a specific price level in a range, Red - sell volume. Green + Red = Total volume of a price level in a range
There's no native support for vertical histograms in Pinescript (with price axis as base)
Basically, there are 4 ways to plot a series of horizontal bars stacked on top of each other:
1. plotshape style labeldown (ver 0 prototype discarded)
- you can have a set of fixed width/height text labels consisting of a series of underscores and moving dynamically as levels. Level offset controls visible length.
- you can move levels and scale the base width of the volume profile histogram dynamically
- you can calculate the highest/lowest range values automatically. max_level/min_level inputs are optional
- you can't fill the gaps between levels/adjust/extend width, height - this results in a half baked volume profile and looks ugly
- fixed text level height doesn't adjust and looks bad on a log scale
- fixed font width also doesn't scale and can't be properly aligned with bars when zooming
2. plot style columns + hist_base (ver 1.0)
- you can plot long horizontal bars using a series of small adjacent vertical columns with level offsets controlling visible length.
- you can't hide/move levels of the volume profile histogram dynamically on each bar, they must be plotted at all times regardless - you can't delete the history of a plot.
- you can't scale the base width of the volume profile histogram dynamically, can't set show_last from input, must use a preset fixed width for each level
- hist_base can only be a static const expression, can't be assigned highest/lowest range values automatically - you have to specify max_level/min_level manually from input
- you can't control spacing between columns - there's an equalizer bar effect when you zoom in, and solid bars when you zoom out
- using hist_base for levels results in ugly load/redraw times - give it 3-5 sec to finalize its shape after each UI param change
- level top can be properly aligned with another level's bottom producing a clean good looking histogram
- columns are properly aligned with bars automatically
3. plot style histogram + hist_base (ver 2.0)
- you can plot long horizontal bars using a series of small vertical bars (horizontal histogram) instead of columns.
- you can control the width of each histogram bar comprising a level (spacing/horiz density). Large enough width will cause bar overlapping and give level a "solid" look regardless of zoom
- you can only set width <= 4 in UI Style - custom textbox input is provided for larger values. You can set width and plot transparency from input
- this method still uses hist_base and inherits other limitations of ver 2.0
4. plot style lines (ver 3.0)
- you can also plot long horizontal bars using lines with level offsets controlling visible length.
- lines don't need hist_base - fast and smooth redraw times
- you can calculate the highest/lowest range values automatically. max_level/min_level inputs are optional
- level top can't be properly aligned with another level's bottom and have a proper spacing because line width uses its own units and doesn't scale
- fixed line width of a level (vertical thickness) doesn't scale and looks bad on log (level overlapping)
- you can only set width <= 4 in UI Style, a custom textbox input is provided for larger values. You can set width and plot transparency from input
Notes:
- hist_base for levels results in ugly load/redraw times - give it 3-5 sec to finalize its shape after each UI param change
- indicator is slow on TFs with long history 10000+ bars
- Volume Profile/Value Area are calculated for a given range and updated on each bar. Each level has a fixed width. Offsets control visible level parts. Side Cover hides the invisible parts.
- Custom Color for POC/VA/VWAP levels - UI Style color/transparency can only change shape's color and doesn't affect textcolor, hence this additional option
- Custom Widh for levels - UI Style supports only width <= 4, hence this additional option
- POC is visible in both modes. In VWAP mode Developing POC becomes VWAP, VA High and Low => VWAP High and Low correspondingly to minimize the number of plot outputs
- You can't change buy/sell level colors (only plot transparency) - this requires 2x plot outputs exceeding max 64 limit. That's why 2 additional plots are used to dim the non Value Area zones
- Use Side by Side view to compare buy and sell volumes between each other: base width = max(total_buy_vol, total_sell_vol)
- All buy/sell volume lengths are calculated as % of a fixed base width = 100 bars (100%). You can't set show_last from input
- Sell Offset is calculated relative to Buy Offset to stack/extend sell on top of buy. Buy Offset = Zero - Buy Length. Sell Offset = Buy Offset - Sell Length = Zero - Buy Length - Sell Length
- If you see "loop too long error" - change some values in UI and it will recalculate - no need to refresh the chart
- There's no such thing as buy/sell volume, there's just volume, but for the purposes of the Volume Profile method, assume: bull candle = buy volume, bear candle = sell volume
- Volume Profile Range is limited to 5000 bars for free accounts

Complete Trend Trading System [Fhenry0331]This system was designed for the beginner trader to make money swing trading. Your losses will be small and your gains will be mostly large. You will show consistent profit. Period.
The system works on any security you like to trade. I used GBPUSD as an example because of the up swing and down swing it had recently. I tried to put as much information of how the system works in the chart. Hope it helps and is not to cluttered.
I will reiterate how the system works here: Everything is based off of closed price.
Legend
Uptrend: Buy
Green bar: initial start of an uptrend or uptrend continuing. Place order above that bar. If the initial bar does not stray too far from the MVWAP , I will place orders above subsequent bars if no filled occurred.
If initial start of the trend is missed, I will wait for the pullback. A pullback is a close below the MVWAP, and a close above the EMA (Low), RSI is above 50. Orders are placed above the pullback bars with plotted char "B" and also plotted green triangle up. Again orders are placed above those bars. the bars do not notate automatic buys. Don't chase anything. You will miss the initial bar on something because of news or earnings and it rocket up. Just wait, it will pullback. If it doesn't, to hell with it, on to the next.
Take profits: In the indicator you will see "T." That notates to take some profits. It is a suggestion. I was always told to take profits into spikes, as well as you can never lose money if you take profits. Up to you if you want to scale out and take the suggested profits or not.
Exit Completely: In an uptrend, close your entire position on bars colored yellow or red. (Again, closed bars)
In uptrend bars colored orange and black, do nothing, they are just pullback bars. Look for the buy pullback signal, then follow pullback buy rules for an uptrend.
Downtrend: Short
Red bar: initial start of a downtrend or downtrend continuing. Place order below the bar. If the initial bar does not stray too far fro the MVWAP, place orders below subsequent bars.
If initial start on the downtrend is missed, wait for the pullback. A pullback is a close above the MVWAP, and close below the EMA(Low). RSI is below 50. Orders are placed below the pullback bars with the plotted char "S" and also plotted red triangle. Again those bars are not automatic shorts, orders are placed below them. Don't chase anything. Wait for price to come into your plan. The idea FOMO is the stupidest thing ever, how can you miss out on something when it is always there. The market is always there and something will come into your zone. Chill.
"T": same as in uptrend, suggestion to take some profits.
Exit Completely: In a downtrend, close your entire position on bars colored orange or green.
In downtrend you will see bars colored yellow and black, do nothing, they are pullback bars. Look for the pullback short signal and follow pullback short rules.
If you have any questions get at me. Take a look at it on what you trade. Flip it through different securities.
Best of luck in all you do.
P.S. You should not take a trade right before earnings. You should also exit a trade right before earnings.
PivotBoss Outside Reversal SetupPATTERN SUMMARY
1. The engulfing bar of a bullish outside reversal setup has a low that is below the prior bar's low (L < L ) and a
close that is above the prior bar's high (C > H ).
2. The engulfing bar of a bearish outside reversal setup has a high that is above the prior bar's high (H > H )
and a close that is below the prior bar's low (C < L ).
3. The engulfing bar is usually 5 to 25 percent larger than the size of the average bar in the lookback period.
PATTERN PSYCHOLOGY
The power behind this pattern lies in the psychology behind the traders involved in this setup. If you have
ever participated in a breakout at support or resistance only to have the market reverse sharply against you, then
you are familiar with the market dynamics of this setup. What exactly is going on at these levels? To understand
this concept is to understand the outside reversal pattern. Basically, market participants are testing the waters
above resistance or below support to make sure there is no new business to be done at these levels. When no
initiative buyers or sellers participate in range extension, responsive participants have all the information they
need to reverse price back toward a new area of perceived value.
As you look at a bullish outside reversal pattern, you will notice that the current bar's low is lower than the
prior bar's low. Essentially, the market is testing the waters below recently established lows to see if a downside
follow-through will occur. When no additional selling pressure enters the market, the result is a flood of buying
pressure that causes a springboard effect, thereby shooting price above the prior bar's highs and creating the
beginning of a bullish advance.
If you recall the child on the trampoline for a moment, you'll realize that the child had to force the bounce
mat down before he could spring into the air. Also, remember Jennifer the cake baker? She initially pushed price
to $20 per cake, which sent a flood of orders into her shop. The flood of buying pressure eventually sent the price
of her cakes to $35 apiece. Basically, price had to test the $20 level before it could rise to $35.
Let's analyze the outside reversal setup in a different light for a moment. One of the reasons I like this setup
is because the two-bar pattern reduces into the wick reversal setup, which we covered earlier in the chapter. If
you are not familiar with candlestick reduction, the idea is simple. You are taking the price data over two or more
candlesticks and combining them to create a single candlestick. Therefore, you will be taking the open, high, low,
and close prices of the bars in question to create a single composite candlestick.
Take a look at Figure 2.13, which illustrates the candlestick reduction of the outside reversal setup.
Essentially, taking the highest high and the lowest low over the two-bar period gives you the range of the
composite candlestick. Then, taking the opening price of the first candle and the closing price of the last candle
will finish off the composite candlestick. Depending on the structure of the bars of the outside reversal setup, the
result of the candlestick reduction will usually be the transformation into a wick reversal setup, which we know to
be quite powerful. Therefore, in many cases the physiology of the outside reversal pattern basically demonstrates
the inherent psychological traits of the wick reversal pattern. This is just another level of analysis that reinforces
my belief in the outside reversal setup.
STBBT 📘 STBBT (Simple Two Bar Break Through)
Overview
STBBT plots breakout signals whenever the current bar breaks above or below the previous bar’s high/low.
It is a **simple and transparent breakout indicator**, designed to highlight every breakout event without complex filters.
If both directions are broken in the same bar, both signals are shown.
- "H" → Current bar’s high > Previous bar’s high
- "L" → Current bar’s low < Previous bar’s low
- Both can appear simultaneously on the same candle
---
Key Features
1. **Clear Breakout Logic**
• Detects when price moves beyond the previous candle’s range.
• High and Low breakouts are handled separately.
2. **Confirmation Options**
• Real-time mode: signals appear intrabar as soon as break occurs.
• Close-confirmation mode: signals appear only after bar close beyond previous high/low (reduces repainting).
3. **Visualization**
• "H" label above bars when high is broken.
• "L" label below bars when low is broken.
• Labels are gray with 60% transparency for a clean look.
• Optional guide lines for previous bar’s high/low.
4. **Dual Signal Support**
• If both high and low are broken in one bar, both H and L are displayed.
5. **Alerts**
• Alerts are available for both High and Low breakouts.
• Works in both real-time and close-confirmed modes.
---
How to Use
• Add STBBT to your TradingView chart.
• Choose between real-time or close-confirmed signals.
• Watch for H and L signals to identify momentum breakouts of the previous bar.
• Combine with other filters (trend, volume, higher timeframe) for stronger confirmation.
---
👉 In short:
**STBBT highlights simple, clean breakouts of the previous bar’s range.**
It shows H for high breaks, L for low breaks, and both if a candle breaks in both directions.
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
• Consider market structure and support/resistance levels
• Backtest different modes to find optimal settings for your strategy
⚠️ Risk Management
This indicator identifies potential reversal points but should be used with proper risk management. Always consider:
• Overall market trend and structure
• Volume confirmation
• Multiple timeframe analysis
• Appropriate position sizing
Perfect for traders who want to catch reversals at institutional levels with high-probability setups. The confluence requirement ensures you're trading with the smart money, not against it.
FlowScape PredictorFlowScape Predictor is a non-repainting, regime-aware entry qualifier that turns complex market context into two readiness scores (Long & Short, each 0/25/50/75/100) and clean, confirmed-bar signals. It blends three orthogonal pillars so you act only when trend energy, momentum, and location agree:
Regime (energy): ATR-normalized linear-regression slope of a smooth HMA → EMA baseline, gated by ADX to confirm when pressure is meaningful.
Momentum (push): RSI slope alignment so price has directional follow-through, not just drift.
Structure (location): proximity to pivot-confirmed swings, scaled by ATR, so “ready” appears near constructive pullbacks—not mid-trend chases.
A soft ATR cloud wraps the baseline for context. A yellow Predictive Baseline extends beyond the last bar to visualize near-term trajectory. It is visual-only: scores/alerts never use it.
What you see
Baseline line that turns green/red when regime is strong in that direction; gray when weak.
ATR cloud around the baseline (context for stretch and pullbacks).
Scores (Long & Short, 0–100 in steps of 25) and optional “L/S” icons on bar close.
Yellow Predictive Baseline that extends to the right for a few bars (visual trajectory of the smoothed baseline).
The scoring system (simple and transparent)
Each side (Long/Short) sums four binary checks, 25 points each:
Regime aligned: trendStrong is true and LR slope sign favors that side.
Momentum aligned: RSI side (>50 for Long, <50 for Short) and RSI slope confirms direction.
Baseline side: price is above (Long) / below (Short) the baseline.
Location constructive: distance from the last confirmed pivot is healthy (ATR-scaled; not overstretched).
Valid totals are 0, 25, 50, 75, 100.
Best-quality signal: 100/0 (your side/opposite) on bar close.
Good, still valid: 75/0, especially when the missing block is only “location” right as price re-engages the cloud/baseline.
Avoid: 75/25 or any opposition > 0 in a weak (gray) regime.
The Predictive (Kalman) line — what it is and isn’t
The yellow line is a visual forward extension of the smoothed baseline to help you see the current trajectory and time pullback resumptions. It does not predict price and is excluded from scores and alerts.
How it’s built (plain English):
We maintain a one-dimensional Kalman state x as a smoothed estimate of the baseline. Each bar we observe the current baseline z.
The filter adjusts its trust using the Kalman gain K = P / (P + R) and updates:
x := x + K*(z − x), then P := (1 − K)*P + Q.
Q (process noise): Higher Q → expects faster change → tracks turns quicker (less smoothing).
R (measurement noise): Higher R → trusts raw baseline less → smoother, steadier projection.
What you control:
Lead (how many bars forward to draw).
Kalman Q/R (visual smoothness vs. responsiveness).
Toggle the line on/off if you prefer a minimal chart.
Important: The predictive line extends the baseline, not price. It’s a visual timing aid—don’t automate off it.
How to use (step-by-step)
Keep the chart clean and use a standard OHLC/candlestick chart.
Read the regime: Prefer trades with green/red baseline (trendStrong = true).
Check scores on bar close:
Take Long 100 / Short 0 or Long 75 / Short 0 when the chart shows a tidy pullback re-engaging the cloud/baseline.
Mirror the logic for shorts.
Confirm location: If price is > ~1.5 ATR from its reference pivot, let it come back—avoid chasing.
Set alerts: Add an alert on Long Ready or Short Ready; these fire on closed bars only.
Risk management: Use ATR-buffered stops beyond the recent pivot; target fixed-R multiples (e.g., 1.5–3.0R). Manage the trade with the baseline/cloud if you trail.
Best-practice playbook (quick rules)
Green light: 100/0 (best) or 75/0 (good) on bar close in a colored (non-gray) regime.
Location first: Prefer entries near the baseline/cloud right after a pullback, not far above/below it.
Avoid mixed signals: Skip 75/25 and anything with opposition while the baseline is gray.
Use the yellow line with discretion: It helps you see rhythm; it’s not a signal source.
Timeframes & tuning (practical defaults)
Intraday indices/FX (5m–15m): Demand 100/0 in chop; allow 75/0 when ADX is awake and pullback is clean.
Crypto intraday (15m–1h): Prefer 100/0; 75/0 on the first pullback after a regime turn.
Swing (1h–4h/D1): 75/0 is often sufficient; 100/0 is excellent (fewer but cleaner signals).
If choppy: raise ADX threshold, raise the readiness bar (insist on 100/0), or lengthen the RSI slope window.
What makes FlowScape different
Energy-first regime filter: ATR-normalized LR slope + ADX gate yields a consistent read of trend quality across symbols and timeframes.
Location-aware entries: ATR-scaled pivot proximity discourages mid-air chases, encouraging pullback timing.
Separation of concerns: The predictive line is visual-only, while scores/alerts are confirmed on close for non-repainting behavior.
One simple score per side: A single 0–100 readiness figure is easier to tune than juggling multiple indicators.
Transparency & limitations
Scores are coarse by design (25-point blocks). They’re a gatekeeper, not a promise of outcomes.
Pivots confirm after right-side bars, so structure signals appear after swings form (non-repainting by design).
Avoid using non-standard chart types (Heikin Ashi, Renko, Range, etc.) for signals; use a clean, standard chart.
No lookahead, no higher-timeframe requests; alerts fire on closed bars only.
Volume Rotor Clock [hapharmonic]🕰️ Volume Rotor Clock
The Volume Rotor Clock is an indicator that separates buy and sell volume, compiling these volumes over a recent number of bars or a specified past period, as defined by the user. This helps to reveal accumulation (buying) or distribution (selling) behavior, showing which side has superior volume. With its unique and beautiful display, the Volume Rotor Clock is more than just a timepiece; it's a dynamic dashboard that visualizes the buying and selling pressure of your favorite symbols, all wrapped in an elegant and fully customizable interface.
Instead of just tracking price, this indicator focuses on the engine behind the movement: volume. It helps you instantly identify which assets are under accumulation (buying) and which are under distribution (selling).

🎨 20 Pre-configured Templates

🧐 Interpreting the Clock Display
The interface is designed to give you multiple layers of information at a glance. Let's break down what each part represents.
1. The Main Clock Hands (Current Chart Symbol)
The clock hands—hour, minute, and second—are dedicated to the symbol on your current active chart .
Minute Hand: Displays the base currency of the current symbol (e.g., USDT, USD) at its tip.
Hour Hand: Displays the percentage of the winning volume side (buy vs. sell) at its tip.
Color Gauge: The color of the text characters at the tip of both the hour and minute hands acts as your primary volume gauge for the current symbol.
If buy volume is dominant , the text will be green .
If sell volume is dominant , the text will be red .
Tooltip: Hovering your mouse over the text at the tip of the hour or minute or other spherical elements hand will reveal a detailed tooltip with the precise Buy Volume, Sell Volume, Total Volume, Buy %, and Sell % for the current chart's symbol.
2. The Volume Scanner: Bulls & Bears (Symbols Inside the Clock) 🐂🐻
The circular symbols scattered inside the clock face are your multi-symbol volume scanner. They represent the assets you've selected in the indicator's settings.
Green Circles (Bulls - Upper Half): These represent symbols from your list where the total buy volume is greater than the total sell volume over the defined "Lookback" period. They are considered to be under bullish accumulation. The size of the circle and its text grows larger as the buy percentage becomes more dominant. The percentage shown within the circle represents the buy volume's share of the total volume, calculated over the 'Lookback (Bars)' you've set.
Red Circles (Bears - Lower Half): These represent symbols where the total sell volume is greater than the total buy volume. They are considered to be under bearish distribution or selling pressure. The size of the circle indicates the dominance of the sell-side volume. The percentage shown within the circle represents the sell volume's share of the total volume, calculated over the 'Lookback (Bars)' you've set.
3. The Bullish Watchlist (Symbols Above the Clock) ⭐
The symbols arranged neatly along the top edge of the clock are the "best of the bulls." They are symbols that are not only bullish but have also passed an additional, powerful strength filter.
What it Means: A symbol appears here when it shows signs of sustained, high-volume buying interest . It's a way to filter out noise and focus on assets with potentially significant accumulation phases.
The Filter Logic: For a bullish symbol (where total buy volume > total sell volume) to be promoted to the watchlist, its trading volume must meet specific criteria based on this formula:
ta.barssince(not(volume > ta.sma(volume, X))) >= Y
In plain English, this means: The indicator checks how many consecutive bars the `volume` has been greater than its `X`-bar Simple Moving Average (`ta.sma(volume, X)`). If this count is greater than or equal to `Y` bars, the condition is met.
(You can configure `X` (Volume MA Length) and `Y` (Consecutive Days Above MA) in the settings.)
Why it's Useful: This filter is powerful because it looks for consistency . A single spike in volume can be an anomaly. However, when an asset's volume remains consistently above its recent average for several consecutive days, it strongly suggests that larger players or a significant portion of the market are actively accumulating the asset. This sustained interest can often precede a significant upward price trend.

⚙️ Indicator Settings Explained
The Volume Rotor Clock is highly customizable. Here’s a detailed walkthrough of every setting available in the "Inputs" tab.
🎨 Color Scheme
This group allows you to control the entire aesthetic of the clock.
Template: Choose from a wide variety of professionally designed color themes.
Use Template: A simple checkbox to switch between using a pre-designed theme and creating your own.
`Checked`: You can select a theme from the dropdown menu, which offers 20 unique templates like "Cyberpunk Neon" or "Forest Green". All custom color settings below will be disabled (grayed out and unclickable).
`Unchecked`: The template dropdown is disabled, and you gain full control over every color element in the sections below.
🖌️ Custom Appearance & Colors
These settings are only active when "Use Template" is unchecked.
Flame Head / Tail: Sets the start and end colors for the dynamic flame effect that traces the clock's border, representing the second hand.
Numbers / Main Numbers: Customize the color of the regular hour numbers (1, 2, 4, 5...) and the main cardinal numbers (3, 6, 9, 12).
Sunburst Colors (1-6): Controls the six colors used in the gradient background for the "sunburst" effect inside the clock face.
Hands & Digital: Fine-tune the colors for the Hour/Minute Hand, Second Hand, central Pivot point, and the digital time display.
Chain Color / Width: Customize the appearance of the two chains holding the clock.
📡 Volume Scanner
Control the behavior of the multi-symbol scanner.
Show Scanner Labels: A master switch to show or hide all the bull/bear symbol circles inside the clock.
Lookback (Bars): A crucial setting that defines the calculation period for buy/sell volume for all scanned symbols. The calculation is a sum over the specified number of recent bars.
`0`: Calculates using the current bar only .
`7`: Calculates the sum of volume over the last 8 bars (the current bar + 7 historical bars).
Symbols List: Here you can enable/disable up to 20 slots and input the ticker for each symbol you want to scan (e.g., BINANCE:BTCUSDT , NASDAQ:AAPL ).
⭐ Bullish Watchlist Filter
Configure the criteria for the elite watchlist symbols displayed above the clock.
Enable Watchlist: A master switch to turn the entire watchlist feature on or off.
Volume MA Length: Sets the lookback period `(X)` for the Simple Moving Average of volume used in the filter.
Consecutive Days Above MA: Sets the minimum number of consecutive days `(Y)` that volume must close above its MA to qualify.
Symbols Per Row: Determines the maximum number of watchlist symbols that can fit in a single row before a new row is created above it.
Background / Text Color: When not using a template, you can set custom colors for the watchlist symbols' background and text.
📏 Position & Size
Adjust the clock's placement and dimensions on your chart.
Clock Timezone: Sets the timezone for the digital and analog time display. You can use standard formats like "America/New_York" or enter "Exchange" to sync with the chart's timezone.
Radius (Bars): Controls the overall size of the clock. The radius is measured in terms of the number of bars on the x-axis.
X Offset (Bars): Moves the entire clock horizontally. Positive values shift it to the right; negative values shift it to the left.
Y Offset (Price %): Moves the entire clock vertically as a percentage of your screen's price pane. Positive values move it up; negative values move it down.

AI’s Opinion Trading System V2 is an advanced, multi-factor trading tool designed for the TradingView platform. It combines several technical indicators (moving averages, RSI, MACD, ADX, ATR, and volume analysis) to generate buy, sell, and hold signals. The script features a customizable AI “consensus” engine that weighs multiple indicator signals, applies user-defined filters, and outputs actionable trade instructions with clear stop loss and take profit levels. The indicator also tracks sentiment, volume delta, and allows for advanced features like pyramiding (adding to positions), custom stop loss/take profit prices, and flexible signal confirmation logic. All key data and signals are displayed in a dynamic, color-coded table on the chart for easy review.

ds-Volume with Flags & Alerts v1.2ds-Volume with Flags & Alerts: User & Training Guide
1. Summary of Features
This indicator is a powerful, all-in-one tool designed to give you a deep and customizable view of market volume. By analyzing volume in multiple ways, it helps you spot unusual activity, confirm trends, and identify potential reversals.
How It Helps a Trader:
Spotting Institutional Activity: The core purpose of the Volume Flags (using either the Multiplier or Standard Deviation method) is to highlight bars with exceptionally high volume. These spikes often signal the entry or exit of large institutional players. A high-volume up-bar can confirm bullish conviction, while a high-volume down-bar can signal significant selling pressure.
Identifying Climactic Events: The HVE (Highest Volume Ever) and HV1 (Highest Volume - 1 Year) labels automatically pinpoint the most significant volume events on the chart. A "blow-off top" at the end of a long uptrend or a "capitulation" event at a market bottom is almost always accompanied by an HVE or HV1 bar. These are critical moments to watch for potential trend reversals.
Gauging Buying vs. Selling Pressure: The Up/Down Volume Ratio gives you a more nuanced view than volume alone. A ratio consistently above 1.2 suggests that buyers are more aggressive, while a ratio below 0.8 suggests sellers are in control. Watching this ratio can help you confirm the strength of a trend or spot divergences where price is rising but the ratio is falling (a potential warning sign).
Visual Confirmation & Customization: With options to color both the volume bars and the main price bars, you can get instant visual confirmation of these events without having to look away from the price action. The ability to toggle features on and off keeps your chart clean and focused on what matters most to you.
Actionable Alerts: The comprehensive alert system ensures you don't miss a key event. You can be notified of everything from a new all-time high volume bar to a subtle shift in the Up/Down Volume Ratio, allowing you to react to market changes in real-time.
2. User-Changeable Options
This indicator is highly customizable. Here is a breakdown of every setting available in the "Inputs" tab.
General Settings
MA Length: The lookback period for the simple moving average (the gray area plot) of the volume.
Volume Flags
Color Price Bars with Flags: If checked, the main price bars on your chart will be colored when a high or low volume flag condition is met.
Color Volume Bars with Flags: If checked, the volume bars in the indicator pane will be colored for flag conditions.
Flag Calculation Method: This is a crucial setting.
Multiplier (Default): Identifies high volume based on a simple multiple of the average volume (e.g., volume is 1.4x its average). It's simple and intuitive.
Standard Deviation: Identifies high volume based on how statistically unusual it is compared to its recent behavior. This method is more adaptive to changing market volatility.
Daily/Weekly Lookback (Multiplier): Sets the lookback period for calculating the average volume when using the "Multiplier" method.
Daily/Weekly High-Vol Multiplier: Sets the multiplier for a high volume event (e.g., 1.4).
STDEV Length (Daily/Weekly): Sets the lookback period for calculating the average and standard deviation when using the "Standard Deviation" method.
STDEV Threshold (Daily/Weekly): Sets the number of standard deviations above the average required to trigger a high volume flag (e.g., 2.0).
Daily/Weekly Low-Vol Multiplier: Sets the threshold for a low volume event (e.g., 0.5 means volume is less than 50% of its average). This is always based on the multiplier method.
Ratios & Stats
Up/Down Ratio Daily/Weekly Lookback: Sets the lookback period for calculating the sum of up volume and down volume for the ratio.
Ratio Calculation Method:
Close vs. Open: Defines an "up volume" bar as one where the close is higher than the open.
Close vs. Previous Close (Default): Defines an "up volume" bar as one where the close is higher than the previous bar's close. This is a common standard.
Up Ratio Arrow Threshold: If the U/D Ratio exceeds this value, a green "up" arrow will appear.
Show Up Ratio Arrow: Toggles the visibility of the green "up" arrow.
Down Ratio Arrow Threshold: If the U/D Ratio falls below this value, a red "down" arrow will appear.
Show Down Ratio Arrow: Toggles the visibility of the red "down" arrow.
Relative Measured Volatility (RMV)RMV • Volume-Sensitive Consolidation Indicator
A lightweight Pine Script that highlights true low-volatility, low-volume bars in a single squeeze measure.
What it does
Calculates each bar’s raw High-Low range.
Down-weights bars where volume is below its 30-day average, emphasizing genuine quiet periods.
Normalizes the result over the prior 15 bars (excluding the current bar), scaling from 0 (tightest) to 100 (most volatile).
Draws the series as a step plot, shades true “tight” bars below the user threshold, and marks sustained squeezes with a small arrow.
Key inputs
Lookback (bars): Number of bars to use for normalization (default 15).
Tight Threshold: RMV value under which a bar is considered squeezed (default 15).
Volume SMA Period: Period for the volume moving average benchmark (default 30).
How it works
Raw range: barRange = high - low
Volume ratio: volRatio = min(volume / sma(volume,30), 1)
Weighted range: vwRange = barRange * volRatio
Rolling min/max (prior 15 bars): exclude today so a new low immediately registers a 0.
Normalize: rmv = clamp(100 * (vwRange - min) / (max - min), 0, 100)
Visualization & signals
Step line for exact bar-by-bar values.
Shaded background when RMV < threshold.
Consecutive-bar filter ensures arrows only appear when tightness lasts at least two bars, cutting noise.
Why use it
Quickly spot consolidation zones that combine narrow price action with genuine dry volume—ideal for swing entries ahead of breakouts.
BK AK-SILENCER🚨 Introducing BK AK-SILENCER — Volume Footprint Warfare, Right on the Price Bars 🚨
This isn’t a traditional indicator.
This is a tactical weapon — engineered to expose institutional behavior directly in the bar data, using volume logic, CVD divergence, and spike detection to pinpoint who’s really in control of the tape.
No panels. No clutter.
Just silent execution — built directly into price itself.
🔥 Why "SILENCER"?
Because real power moves in silence.
Institutions don’t chase — they build positions quietly, in size, beneath the surface.
BK AK-SILENCER gives you a real-time edge by visually revealing their footprints through color-coded bar behavior, divergence signals, and volume spike alerts — all directly on your chart.
🔹 “AK” honors my mentor A.K., whose training forged my trading discipline.
🔹 “SILENCER” represents the institutional mindset — high impact, low visibility. This tool lets you trade like them: without noise, without hesitation, with deadly clarity.
🧠 What Is BK AK-SILENCER?
A bar-level institutional detection tool, purpose-built to:
✅ Color-code bars based on volume aggression and close-location inside range
✅ Detect real-time bullish and bearish divergences between price and volume delta
✅ Tag volume spikes with a $ symbol to expose potential traps or silent position builds
✅ Overlay VWAP for real-time mean-reversion biasing
No extra windows.
No indicators talking over each other.
Just pure volume-logic weaponry embedded into price.
⚙️ What This Weapon Deploys
🔸 Bar Coloring Logic (Volume Footprint)
🟢 Power Buy = Strong close near highs on elevated volume
🟩 Accumulation = Weak close but still heavy volume
🔴 Power Sell = Strong close near lows on heavy selling
🟥 Distribution / Weakness = Low close without commitment
❗ Extreme Volume Spikes marked with $ — using standard deviation to highlight institutional bursts
🔸 CVD Divergence Detection
→ Tracks cumulative volume delta and compares it to price pivot behavior
Bullish Divergence = Price makes lower lows, CVD makes higher lows → hidden accumulation
Bearish Divergence = Price makes higher highs, CVD makes lower highs → hidden distribution
All plotted directly on bars with triangle markers.
🔸 VWAP Overlay (Optional)
→ Anchored VWAP gives immediate context for intraday bias — above VWAP = demand, below = supply
🎯 How to Use BK AK-SILENCER
🔹 Silent Reversal Detection
Bullish divergence + Power Buy bar + VWAP reclaim = sniper entry
Bearish divergence + Power Sell bar + VWAP rejection = trap confirmation
🔹 Volume-Based Entry Triggers
Look for Power Buy + $ spike after a pullback → watch for quiet reversal
Accumulation colors clustering? Institutions are likely loading silently
🔹 Institutional Trap Warnings
$ spike + red distribution bar at highs = time to exit or flip
Weakness bar below VWAP? Don’t chase the long.
🛡️ Why It Matters
✅ Clean — it integrates into price action, no separate panels
✅ Silent — tracks institutions who build without alerts or indicators
✅ Tactical — no fluff, no lag, just real-time behavior recognition
This tool is ideal for:
🔸 Scalpers reading bar-by-bar
🔸 Intraday swing traders using VWAP and structure
🔸 Professionals who need volume behavior decoded in real-time
🔸 Anyone who wants signal without clutter
🙏 Final Thoughts
This tool isn’t just about trading — it’s about tactical awareness.
🔹 Dedicated to my mentor A.K., whose wisdom runs deep in every logic tree.
🔹 Above all, I give thanks to Gd, the source of clarity, courage, and conviction.
Without Him, even the sharpest system is blind.
With Him, we execute with structure, purpose, and divine alignment.
⚡ No noise. No clutter. No delay. Just raw, silent execution.
🔥 BK AK-SILENCER — Bar-Level Volume Footprint Precision 🔥
Gd bless every step you take in this market.
Trade with clarity, move with intention. 🙏
[Mad]Triple Bollinger Bands ForecastTriple Bollinger Bands Forecast (BBx3+F)
This open-source indicator is an advanced version of the classic Bollinger Bands, designed to provide a more comprehensive and forward-looking view of market volatility and potential price levels.
It plots three distinct sets of Bollinger Bands and projects them into the future based on statistical calculations.
How It Is Built and Key Features
Triple Bollinger Bands: Instead of a single set of bands, this indicator plots three. All three share the same central basis line (a Simple Moving Average), but each has a different standard deviation multiplier. This creates three distinct volatility zones for analyzing price deviation from its mean.
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Capability: The indicator can calculate and display Bollinger Bands from a higher timeframe (e.g., showing daily bands on a 4-hour chart). This allows for contextualizing price action within the volatility structure of a more significant trend.
(Lower HTF selection will result in script-crash!)
Future Forecasting: This is the indicator's main feature. It projects the calculated Bollinger Bands up to 8 bars into the future. This forecast is a recalculation of the Simple Moving Average and Standard Deviation based on a projected future source price.
Selectable Forecast Methods: The mathematical model for estimating the future source price can be selected:
Flat: A model that uses the most recent closing price as the price for all future bars in the calculation window.
Linreg (Linear Regression): A model that calculates a linear regression trend on the last few bars and projects it forward to estimate the future source price.
Efficient Drawing with Polylines: The future projections are drawn on the chart using Pine Script's polyline object. This is an efficient method that draws the forecast data only on the last bar, which avoids repainting issues.
Differences from a Classical Bollinger Bands Indicator
Band Count: A classical indicator shows one set of bands. This indicator plots three sets for a multi-layered view of volatility.
Perspective: Classical Bollinger Bands are purely historical. This indicator is both historical and forward-looking .
Forecasting: The classic version has no forecasting capability. This indicator projects the bands into the future .
Timeframe: The classic version works only on the current timeframe. This indicator has full Multi-Timeframe (MTF) support .
The Mathematics Behind the Future Predictions
The core challenge in forecasting Bollinger Bands is that a future band value depends on future prices, which are unknown. This indicator solves this by simulating a future price series. Here is the step-by-step logic:
Forecast the Source Price for the Next Bar
First, the indicator estimates what the price will be on the next bar.
Flat Method: The forecasted price is the current bar's closing price.
Price_forecast = close
Linreg Method: A linear regression is calculated on the last few bars and extrapolated one step forward.
Price_forecast = ta.linreg(close, linreglen, 1)
Calculate the Future SMA (Basis)
To calculate the Simple Moving Average for the next bar, a new data window is simulated. This window includes the new forecasted price and drops the oldest historical price. For a 1-bar forecast, the calculation is:
SMA_future = (Price_forecast + close + close + ... + close ) / length
Calculate the Future Standard Deviation
Similarly, the standard deviation for the next bar is calculated over this same simulated window of prices, using the new SMA_future as its mean.
// 1. Calculate the sum of squared differences from the new mean
d_f = Price_forecast - SMA_future
d_0 = close - SMA_future
// ... and so on for the rest of the window's prices
SumOfSquares = (d_f)^2 + (d_0)^2 + ... + (d_length-2)^2
// 2. Calculate future variance and then the standard deviation
Var_future = SumOfSquares / length
StDev_future = sqrt(Var_future)
Extending the Forecast (2 to 8 Bars)
For forecasts further into the future (e.g., 2 bars), the script uses the same single Price_forecast for all future steps in the calculation. For a 2-bar forecast, the simulated window effectively contains the forecasted price twice, while dropping the two oldest historical prices. This provides a statistically-grounded projection of where the Bollinger Bands are likely to form.
Usage as a Forecast Extension
This indicator's functionality is designed to be modular. It can be used in conjunction with as example Mad Triple Bollinger Bands MTF script to separate the rendering of historical data from the forward-looking forecast.
Configuration for Combined Use:
Add both the Mad Triple Bollinger Bands MTF and this Triple Bollinger Bands Forecast indicator to your chart.
Open the Settings for this indicator (BBx3+F).
In the 'General Settings' tab, disable the Activate Plotting option.
To ensure data consistency, the Bollinger Length, Multipliers, and Higher Timeframe settings should be identical across both indicators.
This configuration prevents the rendering of duplicate historical bands. The Mad Triple Bollinger Bands MTF script will be responsible for visualizing the historical and current bands, while this script will overlay only the forward-projected polyline data.

volume profile ranking indicator📌 Introduction
This script implements a volume profile ranking indicato for TradingView. It is designed to visualize the distribution of traded volume over price levels within a defined historical window. Unlike TradingView’s built-in Volume Profile, this script gives full customization of the profile drawing logic, binning, color gradient, and the ability to anchor the profile to a specific date.
⚙️ How It Works (Logic)
1. Inputs
➤POC Lookback Days (lookback): Defines how many bars (days) to look back from a selected point to calculate the volume distribution.
➤Bin Count (bin_count): Determines how many price bins (horizontal levels) the price range will be divided into.
➤Use Custom Lookback Date (useCustomDate): Enables/disables manually selecting a backtest start date.
➤Custom Lookback Date (customDate): When enabled, the profile will calculate volume based on this date instead of the most recent bar.
2. Target Bar Determination
➤If a custom date is selected, the script searches for the bar closest to that date within 1000 bars.
➤If not, it defaults to the latest bar (bar_index).
➤The profile is drawn only when the current bar is close to the target bar (within ±2 bars), to avoid unnecessary recalculations and performance issues.
3. Volume Binning
➤The price range over the lookback window is divided into bin_count segments.
➤For each bar within the lookback window, its volume is added to the appropriate bin based on price.
➤If the price falls outside the expected range, it is clamped to the first or last bin.
4. Ranking and Sorting
➤A bubble sort ranks each bin by total volume.
➤The most active bin (POC, or Point of Control) is highlighted with a thicker bar.
5. Rendering
➤Horizontal bars (line.new) represent volume intensity in each price bin.
➤Each bar is color-coded by volume heat: more volume = more intense color.
➤Labels (label.new) show:
➤Total volume
➤Rank
➤Percentage of total volume
➤Price range of the bin
🧑💻 How to Use
1. Add the Script to Your Chart
➤Copy the code into TradingView’s Pine Script editor and add it to your chart.
2. Set Lookback Period
➤Default is 252 bars (about one year for daily charts), but can be changed via the input.
3. (Optional) Use Custom Date
●Toggle "Use Custom Lookback Date" to true.
➤Pick a date in the "Custom Lookback Date" input to anchor the profile.
4. Analyze the Volume Distribution
➤The longest (thickest) red/orange bar represents the Point of Control (POC) — the price with the most volume traded.
➤Other bars show volume distribution across price.
➤Labels display useful metrics to evaluate areas of high/low interest.
✅ Features
🔶 Customizable anchor point (custom date).
🔶Adjustable bin count and lookback length.
🔶 Clear visualization with heatmap coloring.
🔶 Lightweight and performance-optimized (especially with the shouldDrawProfile filter)
Multi-Anchored Linear Regression Channels [TANHEF]█ Overview:
The 'Multi-Anchored Linear Regression Channels ' plots multiple dynamic regression channels (or bands) with unique selectable calculation types for both regression and deviation. It leverages a variety of techniques, customizable anchor sources to determine regression lengths, and user-defined criteria to highlight potential opportunities.
Before getting started, it's worth exploring all sections, but make sure to review the Setup & Configuration section in particular. It covers key parameters like anchor type, regression length, bias, and signal criteria—essential for aligning the tool with your trading strategy.
█ Key Features:
⯁ Multi-Regression Capability:
Plot up to three distinct regression channels and/or bands simultaneously, each with customizable anchor types to define their length.
⯁ Regression & Deviation Methods:
Regressions Types:
Standard: Uses ordinary least squares to compute a simple linear trend by averaging the data and deriving a slope and endpoints over the lookback period.
Ridge: Introduces L2 regularization to stabilize the slope by penalizing large coefficients, which helps mitigate multicollinearity in the data.
Lasso: Uses L1 regularization through soft-thresholding to shrink less important coefficients, yielding a simpler model that highlights key trends.
Elastic Net: Combines L1 and L2 penalties to balance coefficient shrinkage and selection, producing a robust weighted slope that handles redundant predictors.
Huber: Implements the Huber loss with iteratively reweighted least squares (IRLS) and EMA-style weights to reduce the impact of outliers while estimating the slope.
Least Absolute Deviations (LAD): Reduces absolute errors using iteratively reweighted least squares (IRLS), yielding a slope less sensitive to outliers than squared-error methods.
Bayesian Linear: Merges prior beliefs with weighted data through Bayesian updating, balancing the prior slope with data evidence to derive a probabilistic trend.
Deviation Types:
Regressive Linear (Reverse): In reverse order (recent to oldest), compute weighted squared differences between the data and a line defined by a starting value and slope.
Progressive Linear (Forward): In forward order (oldest to recent), compute weighted squared differences between the data and a line defined by a starting value and slope.
Balanced Linear: In forward order (oldest to newest), compute regression, then pair to source data in reverse order (newest to oldest) to compute weighted squared differences.
Mean Absolute: Compute weighted absolute differences between each data point and its regression line value, then aggregate them to yield an average deviation.
Median Absolute: Determine the weighted median of the absolute differences between each data point and its regression line value to capture the central tendency of deviations.
Percent: Compute deviation as a percentage of a base value by multiplying that base by the specified percentage, yielding symmetric positive and negative deviations.
Fitted: Compare a regression line with high and low series values by computing weighted differences to determine the maximum upward and downward deviations.
Average True Range: Iteratively compute the weighted average of absolute differences between the data and its regression line to yield an ATR-style deviation measure.
Bias:
Bias: Applies EMA or inverse-EMA style weighting to both Regression and/or Deviation, emphasizing either recent or older data.
⯁ Customizable Regression Length via Anchors:
Anchor Types:
Fixed: Length.
Bar-Based: Bar Highest/Lowest, Volume Highest/Lowest, Spread Highest/Lowest.
Correlation: R Zero, R Highest, R Lowest, R Absolute.
Slope: Slope Zero, Slope Highest, Slope Lowest, Slope Absolute.
Indicator-Based: Indicators Highest/Lowest (ADX, ATR, BBW, CCI, MACD, RSI, Stoch).
Time-Based: Time (Day, Week, Month, Quarter, Year, Decade, Custom).
Session-Based: Session (Tokyo, London, New York, Sydney, Custom).
Event-Based: Earnings, Dividends, Splits.
External: Input Source Highest/Lowest.
Length Selection:
Maximum: The highest allowed regression length (also fixed value of “Length” anchor).
Minimum: The shortest allowed length, ensuring enough bars for a valid regression.
Step: The sampling interval (e.g., 1 checks every bar, 2 checks every other bar, etc.). Increasing the step reduces the loading time, most applicable to “Slope” and “R” anchors.
Adaptive lookback:
Adaptive Lookback: Enable to display regression regardless of too few historical bars.
⯁ Selecting Bias:
Bias applies separately to regression and deviation.
Positive values emphasize recent data (EMA-style), negative invert, and near-zero maintains balance. (e.g., a length 100, bias +1 gives the newest price ~7× more weight than the oldest).
It's best to apply bias to both (regression and deviation) or just the deviation. Biasing only regression may distort deviation visually, while biasing both keeps their relationship intuitive. Using bias only for deviation scales it without altering regression, offering unique analysis.
⯁ Scale Awareness:
Supports linear and logarithmic price scaling, the regression and deviations adjust accordingly.
⯁ Signal Generation & Alerts:
Customizable entry/exit signals and alerts, detailed in the dedicated section below.
⯁ Visual Enhancements & Real-World Examples:
Optional on-chart table display summarizing regression input criteria (display type, anchor type, source, regression type, regression bias, deviation type, deviation bias, deviation multiplier) and key calculated metrics (regression length, slope, Pearson’s R, percentage position within deviations, etc.) for quick reference.
█ Understanding R (Pearson Correlation Coefficient):
Pearson’s R gauges data alignment to a straight-line trend within the regression length:
Range: R varies between –1 and +1.
R = +1 → Perfect positive correlation (strong uptrend).
R = 0 → No linear relationship detected.
R = –1 → Perfect negative correlation (strong downtrend).
This script uses Pearson’s R as an anchor, adjusting regression length to target specific R traits. Strong R (±1) follows the regression channel, while weak R (0) shows inconsistency.
█ Understanding the Slope:
The slope is the direction and rate at which the regression line rises or falls per bar:
Positive Slope (>0): Uptrend – Steeper means faster increase.
Negative Slope (<0): Downtrend – Steeper means sharper drop.
Zero or Near-Zero Slope: Sideways – Indicating range-bound conditions.
This script uses highest and lowest slope as an anchor, where extremes highlight strong moves and trend lines, while values near zero indicate sideways action and possible support/resistance.
█ Setup & Configuration:
Whether you’re new to this script or want to quickly adjust all critical parameters, the panel below shows the main settings available. You can customize everything from the anchor type and maximum length to the bias, signal conditions, and more.
Scale (select Log Scale for logarithmic, otherwise linear scale).

█ Signal Generation & Alerts:
The script offers customizable entry and exit signals with flexible criteria and visual cues (background color, dots, or triangles). Alerts can also be triggered for these opportunities.
Percent Direction Criteria:
(0% = lower deviation, 50% = regression line, 100% = upper deviation)
Above %: Triggers if price is above a specified percent of the deviation channel.
Below %: Triggers if price is below a specified percent of the deviation channel.
(Blank): Ignores the percent‐based condition.
Pearson's R (Correlation) Direction Criteria:
(0 = no correlation, ±1 = perfect correlation; >0 = positive slope, <0 = negative slope)
Above R / Below R: Compares the correlation to a threshold.
Above│R│ / Below│R│: Uses absolute correlation to focus on strength, ignoring direction.
Zero to R: Checks if R is in the 0-to-threshold range.
(Blank): Ignores correlation-based conditions.
█ User Tips & Best Practices:
Choose an anchor type that suits your strategy, “Bar Highest/Lowest” automatically spots commonly used regression zones, while “│R│ Highest” targets strong linear trends.
Consider enabling or disabling the Adaptive Lookback feature to ensure you always have a plotted regression if your chart doesn’t meet the maximum-length requirement.
Use a small Step size (1) unless relying on R-correlation or slope-based anchors as the are time-consuming to calculate. Larger steps speed up calculations but reduce precision.
Fine-tune settings such as lookback periods, regression bias, and deviation multipliers, or trend strength. Small adjustments can significantly affect how channels and signals behave.
To reduce loading time , show only channels (not bands) and disable signals, this limits calculations to the last bar and supports more extreme criteria.
Use the table display to monitor anchor type, calculated length, slope, R value, and percent location at a glance—especially if you have multiple regressions visible simultaneously.
█ Conclusion:
With its blend of advanced regression techniques, flexible deviation options, and a wide range of anchor types, this indicator offers a highly adaptable linear regression channeling system. Whether you're anchoring to time, price extremes, correlation, slope, or external events, the tool can be shaped to fit a variety of strategies. Combined with customizable signals and alerts, it may help highlight areas of confluence and support a more structured approach to identifying potential opportunities.
Nef33-Volume Footprint ApproximationDescription of the "Volume Footprint Approximation" Indicator
Purpose
The "Volume Footprint Approximation" indicator is a tool designed to assist traders in analyzing market volume dynamics and anticipating potential trend changes in price. It is inspired by the concept of a volume footprint chart, which visualizes the distribution of trading volume across different price levels. However, since TradingView does not provide detailed intrabar data for all users, this indicator approximates the behavior of a footprint chart by using available volume and price data (open, close, volume) to classify volume as buy or sell, calculate volume delta, detect imbalances, and generate trend change signals.
The indicator is particularly useful for identifying areas of high buying or selling activity, imbalances between supply and demand, delta divergences, and potential reversal points in the market. It provides specific signals for bullish and bearish trend changes, making it suitable for traders looking to trade reversals or confirm trends.
How It Works
The indicator uses volume and price data from each candlestick to perform the following calculations:
Volume Classification:
Classifies the volume of each candlestick as "buy" or "sell" based on price movement:
If the closing price is higher than the opening price (close > open), the volume is classified as "buy."
If the closing price is lower than the opening price (close < open), the volume is classified as "sell."
If the closing price equals the opening price (close == open), it compares with the previous close to determine the direction:
If the current close is higher than the previous close, it is classified as "buy."
If the current close is lower than the previous close, it is classified as "sell."
If the current close equals the previous close, the classification from the previous bar is used.
Delta Calculation:
Calculates the volume delta as the difference between buy volume and sell volume (buyVolume - sellVolume).
A positive delta indicates more buy volume; a negative delta indicates more sell volume.
Imbalance Detection:
Identifies imbalances between buy and sell volume:
A buy imbalance occurs when buy volume exceeds sell volume by a defined percentage (default is 300%).
A sell imbalance occurs when sell volume exceeds buy volume by the same percentage.
Delta Divergence Detection:
Positive Delta Divergence: Occurs when the price is falling (for at least 2 bars) but the delta is increasing or becomes positive, indicating that buyers are entering despite the price decline.
Negative Delta Divergence: Occurs when the price is rising (for at least 2 bars) but the delta is decreasing or becomes negative, indicating that sellers are entering despite the price increase.
Trend Change Signals:
Bullish Signal (trendChangeBullish): Generated when the following conditions are met:
There is a positive delta divergence.
The delta has moved from a negative value (e.g., -500) to a positive value (e.g., +200) over the last 3 bars.
There is a buy imbalance.
The price is near a historical support level (approximated as the lowest low of the last 50 bars).
Bearish Signal (trendChangeBearish): Generated when the following conditions are met:
There is a negative delta divergence.
The delta has moved from a positive value (e.g., +500) to a negative value (e.g., -200) over the last 3 bars.
There is a sell imbalance.
The price is near a historical resistance level (approximated as the highest high of the last 50 bars).
Visual Elements
The indicator is displayed in a separate panel below the price chart (overlay=false) and includes the following elements:
Volume Histograms:
Buy Volume: Represented by a green histogram. Shows the volume classified as "buy."
Sell Volume: Represented by a red histogram. Shows the volume classified as "sell."
Note: The histograms overlap, and the last plotted histogram (red) takes visual precedence, meaning the sell volume may cover the buy volume if it is larger.
Delta Line:
Delta Volume: Represented by a blue line. Shows the difference between buy and sell volume.
A line above zero indicates more buy volume; a line below zero indicates more sell volume.
A dashed gray horizontal line marks the zero level for easier interpretation.
Imbalance Backgrounds:
Buy Imbalance: Light green background when buy volume exceeds sell volume by the defined percentage.
Sell Imbalance: Light red background when sell volume exceeds buy volume by the defined percentage.
Divergence Backgrounds:
Positive Delta Divergence: Lime green background when a positive delta divergence is detected.
Negative Delta Divergence: Fuchsia background when a negative delta divergence is detected.
Trend Change Signals:
Bullish Signal: Green label with the text "Bullish Trend Change" when the conditions for a bullish trend change are met.
Bearish Signal: Red label with the text "Bearish Trend Change" when the conditions for a bearish trend change are met.
Information Labels:
Below each bar, a label displays:
Total Vol: The total volume of the bar.
Delta: The delta volume value.
Alerts
The indicator generates the following alerts:
Positive Delta Divergence: "Positive Delta Divergence Detected! Price is falling, but delta is increasing."
Negative Delta Divergence: "Negative Delta Divergence Detected! Price is rising, but delta is decreasing."
Bullish Trend Change Signal: "Bullish Trend Change Signal! Positive Delta Divergence, Delta Rise, Buy Imbalance, and Near Support."
Bearish Trend Change Signal: "Bearish Trend Change Signal! Negative Delta Divergence, Delta Drop, Sell Imbalance, and Near Resistance."
These alerts can be configured in TradingView to receive real-time notifications.
Adjustable Parameters
The indicator allows customization of the following parameters:
Imbalance Threshold (%): The percentage required to detect an imbalance between buy and sell volume (default is 300%).
Lookback Period for Divergence: Number of bars to look back for detecting price and delta trends (default is 2 bars).
Support/Resistance Lookback Period: Number of bars to look back for identifying historical support and resistance levels (default is 50 bars).
Delta High Threshold (Bearish): Minimum delta value 2 bars ago for the bearish signal (default is +500).
Delta Low Threshold (Bearish): Maximum delta value in the current bar for the bearish signal (default is -200).
Delta Low Threshold (Bullish): Maximum delta value 2 bars ago for the bullish signal (default is -500).
Delta High Threshold (Bullish): Minimum delta value in the current bar for the bullish signal (default is +200).
Practical Use
The indicator is useful for the following purposes:
Identifying Trend Changes:
The trend change signals (trendChangeBullish and trendChangeBearish) indicate potential price reversals. For example, a bullish signal near a support level may be an opportunity to enter a long position.
Detecting Divergences:
Delta divergences (positive and negative) can anticipate trend changes by showing a disagreement between price movement and underlying buying/selling pressure.
Finding Key Levels:
Imbalances (green and red backgrounds) often coincide with support and resistance levels, helping to identify areas where the market might react.
Confirming Trends:
A consistently positive delta in an uptrend or a negative delta in a downtrend can confirm the strength of the trend.
Identifying Failed Auctions:
Although not detected automatically, you can manually identify failed auctions by observing a price move to new highs/lows with decreasing volume in the direction of the move.
Limitations
Intrabar Data: It does not use detailed intrabar data, making it less precise than a native footprint chart.
Approximations: Volume classification and support/resistance detection are approximations, which may lead to false signals.
Volume Dependency: It requires reliable volume data, so it may be less effective on assets with inaccurate volume data (e.g., some forex pairs).
False Signals: Divergences and imbalances do not always indicate a trend change, especially in strongly trending markets.
Recommendations
Combine with Other Indicators: Use tools like RSI, MACD, support/resistance levels, or candlestick patterns to confirm signals.
Trade on Higher Timeframes: Signals are more reliable on higher timeframes like 1-hour or 4-hour charts.
Perform Backtesting: Evaluate the indicator's accuracy on historical data to adjust parameters and improve effectiveness.
Adjust Parameters: Modify thresholds (e.g., imbalanceThreshold or supportResistanceLookback) based on the asset and timeframe you are trading.
Conclusion
The "Volume Footprint Approximation" indicator is a powerful tool for analyzing volume dynamics and anticipating price trend changes. By classifying volume, calculating delta, detecting imbalances and divergences, and generating trend change signals, it provides traders with valuable insights into market buying and selling pressure. While it has limitations due to the lack of intrabar data, it can be highly effective when used in combination with other technical analysis tools and on assets with reliable volume data.
Volume Width Based Candles
Overview
This indicator reimagines traditional candlestick charts by adjusting the horizontal width of each candle based on the bar’s trading volume. In other words, candles with higher volume appear wider, while those with lower volume are drawn narrower. This extra visual dimension can help traders quickly identify bars with significant volume relative to a defined lookback period.
Key Components
Volume Normalization:
The script calculates the highest volume over a user-defined lookback period (default is 100 bars).
Each bar’s volume is then normalized by dividing it by this maximum value. The result is a value between 0 and 1 that represents how the current volume compares to the maximum over the lookback.
Variable Candle Width Calculation:
A base multiplier (default set to 0.4) is used to control how much the volume influences the candle width.
The normalized volume is multiplied by this multiplier to compute an offset value.
Instead of using timestamps (which could lead to drawing objects too far into the future), the script uses the bar_index (the sequential index of bars) to determine the left and right positions of each candle.
The left and right x–positions are calculated by subtracting and adding the offset from the current bar index, respectively.
Candle Body & Wick Drawing:
Candle Body:
The body is drawn using box.new as a rectangle.
The top and bottom of the box are determined by the higher and lower values of the open and close prices.
The color of the candle is set based on whether the bar is bullish (green) or bearish (red).
Wicks:
The upper wick is drawn from the high of the bar down to the top of the body.
The lower wick is drawn from the low up to the bottom of the body.
These are created using line.new at the current bar index.
Handling Edge Cases:
The indicator includes conditions to avoid drawing errors on the very first bar (or any bar where prior data is unavailable).
It also converts the calculated x–coordinates (which are derived from the bar index plus a floating point offset) to integers since box.new requires integer values for positioning.
What It Tells the Trader
Volume Visualization:
Wider candles indicate bars where trading volume is high relative to recent history, potentially highlighting periods of increased market activity.
Narrower candles suggest lower volume, which can signal less interest or participation during that bar.
Contextual Price Action:
By integrating volume into the visual representation of each candle, traders get an immediate sense of the strength behind price movements.
This can be particularly useful for spotting potential breakouts, reversals, or confirming trends when analyzed alongside traditional price-based indicators.
Customization Options
Volume Lookback Period:
You can adjust the number of bars considered when determining the maximum volume. A shorter period may be more responsive to recent changes, while a longer period provides a broader context.
Base Width Multiplier:
Adjusting this multiplier changes how pronounced the effect of volume is on the candle’s width. Increasing it will make high-volume candles even wider, and decreasing it will reduce the difference between high and low volume candles.
Final Thoughts
This indicator is a creative way to overlay volume information directly onto the price chart without the need for separate volume bars. It provides an at-a-glance understanding of market activity and can be a valuable addition to a trader’s toolkit, especially for those who prefer visual cues integrated with price action. However, due to limitations (like the maximum number of drawn boxes), it’s best used on charts with a moderate amount of historical data or with appropriate adjustments to manage performance.
IB & Hammer at SMA(20,50|200)IB & Hammer at SMA (20, 50, 200) Breakout/Breakdown Indicator
Overview:
The IB (Inside Bar) & Hammer at SMA Breakout/Breakdown Indicator is designed to identify breakout and breakdown opportunities using Inside Bars (IB) in combination with Simple Moving Averages (SMA 20, 50, 200) as key trend filters. This indicator is useful for traders looking to catch momentum moves after consolidation phases, confirming the trend direction with moving averages.
Indicator Logic:
Inside Bar (IB) Detection:
An Inside Bar is a candlestick that is completely within the range of the previous candle (i.e., lower high and higher low).
Inside Bars indicate consolidation, suggesting a potential breakout.
SMA Trend Confirmation:
The script uses three moving averages (SMA 20, 50, 200) to determine the trend direction.
Bullish trend: Price is above the 50 & 200 SMAs.
Bearish trend: Price is below the 50 & 200 SMAs.
The 20 SMA is used as a dynamic short-term momentum filter.
Breakout & Breakdown Conditions:
Breakout: When price breaks above the Inside Bar’s high, and the trend is bullish (above key SMAs).
Breakdown: When price breaks below the Inside Bar’s low, and the trend is bearish (below key SMAs).
Alerts can be set to notify traders of potential trade opportunities.
Features:
✅ Identifies Inside Bars (consolidation zones).
✅ Uses SMA (20, 50, 200) for trend confirmation.
✅ Breakout/Breakdown signals based on Inside Bar structure.
✅ Customizable Moving Averages & Alerts.
✅ Visual markers for easy trade identification.
How to Use:
Confirm Trend Direction:
If the price is above SMA 50 & 200, look for breakout trades.
If the price is below SMA 50 & 200, look for breakdown trades.
Watch for Inside Bars:
The script highlights Inside Bars with a specific color (configurable).
These bars indicate a low-volatility phase, preparing for a breakout.
Trade on Breakout/Breakdown:
Breakout: Enter long when the price breaks above the Inside Bar’s high (bullish trend).
Breakdown: Enter short when the price breaks below the Inside Bar’s low (bearish trend).
Uptrick: FRAMA Matrix RSIUptrick: FRAMA Matrix RSI
Introduction
The Uptrick: FRAMA Matrix RSI is a momentum-based indicator that integrates the Relative Strength Index (RSI) with the Fractal Adaptive Moving Average (FRAMA). By applying FRAMA's adaptive smoothing to RSI—and further refining it with a Zero-Lag Moving Average (ZLMA)—this script creates a refined and reliable momentum oscillator. The indicator now includes enhanced divergence detection, potential reversal signals, customizable buy/sell signal options, an internal stats table, and a fully customizable bar coloring system for an enhanced visual trading experience.
Why Combine RSI with FRAMA
Traditional RSI is a well-known momentum indicator but has several limitations. It is highly sensitive to price fluctuations, often generating false signals in choppy or volatile markets. FRAMA, in contrast, adapts dynamically to price changes by adjusting its smoothing factor based on market conditions.
By integrating FRAMA into RSI calculations, this indicator reduces noise while preserving RSI's ability to track momentum, adapts to volatility by reducing lag in trending markets and smoothing out choppiness in ranging conditions, enhances trend-following capability for more reliable momentum shifts, and refines overbought and oversold signals by adjusting to the current market structure.
With the new enhancements, such as a manual alpha input, noise filtering, divergence detection, and multiple buy/sell signal options, the indicator offers even greater flexibility and precision for traders. This combination improves the standard RSI by making it more adaptive and responsive to market changes.
Originality
This indicator is unique because it applies FRAMA's adaptive smoothing technique to RSI, creating a dynamic momentum oscillator that adjusts to different market conditions. Many traditional RSI-based indicators either use fixed smoothing methods like exponential moving averages or employ basic RSI calculations without adjusting for volatility.
This script stands out by integrating several elements, including the fractal dimension-based smoothing of FRAMA to reduce noise while retaining responsiveness, the use of Zero-Lag Moving Average smoothing to enhance trend sensitivity and reduce lag, divergence detection to highlight mismatches between price action and RSI momentum, a noise filter and manual alpha option to prevent minor fluctuations from generating false signals, customizable buy/sell signal options that let traders choose between ZLMA-based or FRAMA RSI-based signals, an internal stats table displaying real-time FRAMA calculations such as fractal dimension and the adaptive alpha factor, and a fully customizable bar coloring system to visually distinguish bullish, bearish, and neutral conditions.
Features
Adaptive FRAMA RSI
The indicator applies FRAMA to RSI values, making the momentum oscillator adaptive to volatility while filtering out noise. Unlike a traditional RSI that reacts equally to all price movements, FRAMA RSI adjusts its smoothing factor based on market structure, making it more effective for identifying true momentum shifts.
Zero-Lag Moving Average (ZLMA)
A smoothing technique that minimizes lag while preserving the responsiveness of price movements. It is applied to the FRAMA RSI to further refine signals and ensure smoother trend detection.
Bullish and Bearish Threshold Crossovers
This system compares FRAMA RSI to a user-defined threshold (default is 50). When FRAMA RSI moves above the threshold, it indicates bullish momentum, while movement below signals bearish conditions. The enhanced noise filter ensures that only significant moves trigger signals.
Noise Filter and Manual Alpha
A new noise filter input prevents tiny fluctuations from triggering false signals. In addition, a manual alpha option allows traders to override the automatically computed smoothing factor with a custom value, providing extra control over the indicator’s sensitivity.
Divergence Detection
The indicator identifies divergence patterns by comparing FRAMA RSI pivots to price action. Bullish divergence occurs when price makes a lower low while FRAMA RSI makes a higher low, and bearish divergence occurs when price makes a higher high while FRAMA RSI makes a lower high. These signals can help traders anticipate potential reversals.
Reversal Signals
Labels appear on the chart when FRAMA RSI confirms classic RSI overbought (70) or oversold (30) conditions, providing visual cues for potential trend reversals.
Buy and Sell Signal Options
Traders can now choose between two signal-generation methods. ZLMA-based signals trigger when the ZLMA of FRAMA RSI crosses key overbought (70) or oversold (30) levels, while FRAMA RSI-based signals trigger when FRAMA RSI itself crosses these levels. This added flexibility allows users to tailor the indicator to their preferred trading style.
ZLMA:
FRAMA:
Customizable Alerts
Alerts notify traders when FRAMA RSI crosses key levels, divergence signals occur, reversal conditions are met, or buy/sell signals trigger. This ensures that important trading events are not missed.
Fully Customizable Bar Coloring System
Users can color bars based on different conditions, enhancing visual clarity. Bar coloring modes include: FRAMA RSI threshold (bars change color based on whether FRAMA RSI is above or below the threshold), ZLMA crossover (bars change when ZLMA crosses overbought or oversold levels), buy/sell signals (bars change when official signals trigger), divergence (bars highlight when bullish or bearish divergence is detected), and reversals (bars indicate when RSI reaches overbought or oversold conditions confirmed by FRAMA RSI). The system also remembers the last applied bar color, ensuring a smooth visual transition.
Input Parameters and Features
Core Inputs
RSI Length (default: 14) defines the period for RSI calculations.
FRAMA Lookback (default: 16) determines the length for the FRAMA smoothing function.
RSI Bull Threshold (default: 50) sets the level above which the market is considered bullish and below which it is bearish.
Noise Filter (default: 1.0) ensures that small fluctuations do not trigger false bullish or bearish signals.
Additional Features
Show Bull and Bear Alerts (default: true) enables notifications when FRAMA RSI crosses the threshold.
Enable Divergence Detection (default: false) highlights bullish and bearish divergences based on price and FRAMA RSI pivots.
Show Potential Reversal Signals (default: false) identifies overbought (70) and oversold (30) levels as possible trend reversal points.
Buy and Sell Signal Option (default: ZLMA) allows traders to choose between ZLMA-based signals or FRAMA RSI-based signals for trade entry.
ZLMA Enhancements
ZLMA Length (default: 14) determines the period for the Zero-Lag Moving Average applied to FRAMA RSI.
Visualization Options
Show Internal Stats Table (default: false) displays real-time FRAMA calculations, including fractal dimension and the adaptive alpha smoothing factor.
Show Threshold FRAMA Signals (default: false) plots buy and sell labels when FRAMA RSI crosses the threshold level.
How It Works
FRAMA Calculation
FRAMA dynamically adjusts smoothing based on the price fractal dimension. The alpha smoothing factor is derived from the fractal dimension or can be set manually to maintain responsiveness.
RSI with FRAMA Smoothing
RSI is calculated using the user-defined lookback period. FRAMA is then applied to the RSI to make it more adaptive to volatility. Optionally, ZLMA is applied to further refine the signals and reduce lag.
Bullish and Bearish Threshold Crosses
A bullish condition occurs when FRAMA RSI crosses above the threshold, while a bearish condition occurs when it falls below. The noise filter ensures that only significant trend shifts generate signals.
Buy and Sell Signal Options
Traders can choose between ZLMA crossovers or FRAMA RSI crossovers as the basis for buy and sell signals, offering flexibility in trade entry timing.
Divergence Detection
The indicator identifies divergences where price action and FRAMA RSI momentum do not align, potentially signaling upcoming reversals.
Reversal Signal Labels
When classic RSI overbought or oversold levels are confirmed by FRAMA RSI conditions, reversal labels are added on the chart to highlight potential exhaustion points.
Bar Coloring System
Bars are dynamically colored based on various conditions such as RSI thresholds, ZLMA crossovers, buy/sell signals, divergence, and reversals, allowing traders to quickly interpret market sentiment.
Alerts and Internal Stats
Customizable alerts notify traders of key events, and an optional internal stats table displays real-time calculations (fractal dimension, alpha value, and RSI values) to help users understand the underlying dynamics of the indicator.
Summary
The Uptrick: FRAMA Matrix RSI offers an enhanced approach to momentum analysis by combining RSI with adaptive FRAMA smoothing and additional layers of signal refinement. The indicator now includes adaptive RSI smoothing to reduce noise and improve responsiveness, Zero-Lag Moving Average filtering to minimize lag, divergence and reversal detection to identify potential turning points, customizable buy/sell signal options that let traders choose between different signal methodologies, a fully customizable bar coloring system to visually distinguish market conditions, and an internal stats table for real-time insight into FRAMA calculation parameters.
Whether used for trend confirmation, divergence detection, or momentum-based strategies, this indicator provides a powerful and adaptive approach to trading.

█ TECHNICAL IMPLEMENTATION DETAILS
Exceeding Bars Management
The script dynamically adjusts the number of bars used in the volume profile calculation based on the selected timeframe and the maximum allowed bars (max_bars_back).
If the total number of bars exceeds the predefined threshold (6000 bars), the script reduces the lookback period (lookback_bars) by trimming some of the historical data, ensuring the chart does not become overloaded with data.
The adjustment is made based on the ratio of bars per candle (bars_per_candle), ensuring that the volume profile remains computationally efficient while maintaining its relevance.
█ EXAMPLE USE CASES
1. Visible Range Mode
For analyzing a recent trend and focusing on only the visible part of the chart, enabling the "Use Visible Chart Range" option calculates the profile based on the current view, without considering historical data outside the visible area.
2. Fixed Lookback Depth
For analyzing a specific period in the past (e.g., the last 200 bars), disabling the visible range and setting a fixed lookback depth of 200 bars ensures the profile always considers the last 200 bars, regardless of the visible range.
3. Custom Resolution
If there’s a need for greater control over the timeframe used for volume profile calculations (e.g., using a 5-minute resolution on a 15-minute chart), enabling custom resolution and setting the desired timeframe provides this control.

Functionality and Theory
1. Calculating Consecutive Simple Moving Averages (SMAs):
The indicator calculates three SMAs, each based on distinct and consecutive historical windows of price data. This approach contrasts with traditional MAs that continuously update with each new price bar, offering a static view of past trends rather than an ongoing one.
Mean1 (SMA1): Calculated over the most recent Window 1 Length bars. Represents the short-term trend.
Mean1=∑i=1N1CloseiN1
Mean1=N1∑i=1N1Closei
Where N1N1 is the length of Window 1.
Mean2 (SMA2): Calculated over the preceding Window 2 Length bars, shifted back by Window 1 Length bars. Represents the medium-term trend.
\text{Mean2} = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^{N_2} \text{Close}_{i + N_1}}}{N_2}
Where N2N2 is the length of Window 2.
Mean3 (SMA3): Calculated over the third rolling Window 3 Length bars, shifted back by the combined lengths of Window 1 and Window 2 bars. Represents the long-term trend.
\text{Mean3} = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^{N_3} \text{Close}_{i + N_1 + N_2}}}{N_3}
Where N3N3 is the length of Window 3.
2. Determining Market Conditions:
The relationship between the three SMAs categorizes the market condition into either extreme or normal states, enabling traders to quickly assess trend strength and potential reversals.

Mathematical Foundation
Geometric Brownian Motion (GBM):
Definition: GBM is a continuous-time stochastic process used to model stock prices. It assumes that the logarithm of the stock price follows a Brownian motion with drift.
Equation:
S(t)=S0⋅e(μ−12σ2)t+σW(t)
S(t)=S0⋅e(μ−21σ2)t+σW(t) Where:
S(t)S(t) = Stock price at time tt
S0S0 = Initial stock price
μμ = Drift coefficient (average return)
σσ = Volatility coefficient (standard deviation of returns)
W(t)W(t) = Wiener process (standard Brownian motion)
Drift (μμ) and Volatility (σσ):
Drift (μμ) represents the expected return of the stock.
Volatility (σσ) measures the stock's price fluctuation intensity.
Central Limit Theorem (CLT):
Principle: With a sufficiently large number of independent simulations, the distribution of the sample mean (EV) approaches a normal distribution, regardless of the underlying distribution.
Application: Ensures that the EV and confidence bands are statistically reliable.
Expected Value (EV) and Confidence Bands:
EV: The mean price across all simulations at each projection bar.
Confidence Bands: Range within which the actual price is expected to lie with a specified probability (e.g., 95%).
EV of EV (Mean of Sample Means):
Definition: Represents the running average of EV values across the projection period, offering a smoothed central tendency.
Methodology
Anchor Time Setup:
The indicator starts projecting from a user-defined Anchor Time. If not customized, it defaults to the current bar's timestamp.
Purpose: Allows users to analyze projections from a specific historical point or the latest market data.
Calculating Drift and Volatility:
Returns Calculation: Computes the logarithmic returns from the Anchor Time to the current bar.
returns=ln(StSt−1)
returns=ln(St−1St)
Drift (μμ): Calculated as the simple moving average (SMA) of returns over the period since the Anchor Time.
Volatility (σσ): Determined using the standard deviation (stdev) of returns over the same period.
Simulation Generation:
Number of Simulations: The user defines how many GBM paths to simulate (e.g., 30).
Projection Candles: Determines the number of future bars to project (e.g., 12).
Process:
For each simulation:
Start from the current close price.
For each projection bar:
Generate a random number zz from a standard normal distribution.
Calculate the next price using the GBM formula:
St+1=St⋅e(μ−12σ2)+σz
St+1=St⋅e(μ−21σ2)+σz
Store the projected price in an array.
Expected Value (EV) and Confidence Bands Calculation:
EV Path: At each projection bar, compute the mean of all simulated prices.
Variance and Standard Deviation: Calculate the variance and standard deviation of simulated prices to determine the confidence intervals.
Confidence Bands: Using the standard normal z-score (1.96 for 95% confidence), establish upper and lower bounds:
Upper Band=EV+z⋅σEV
Upper Band=EV+z⋅σEV
Lower Band=EV−z⋅σEV
Lower Band=EV−z⋅σEV
EV of EV (Running Average of EV Values):
Calculation: For each projection bar, compute the average of all EV values up to that bar.
EV of EV =1j+1∑k=0jEV
EV of EV =j+11k=0∑jEV
Visualization: Plotted as a dynamic line reflecting the evolving average EV across the projection period.

Purpose: Serves as a reference point for comparing actual price movements against projected paths.
Usage Instructions
Configuring User Inputs:
Anchor Time:
Set to a specific timestamp to start projections from a historical point or leave it as default to use the current bar's time.
Projection Candles (Bars):
Define the number of future bars to project (e.g., 12). Adjust based on your trading timeframe and analysis needs.
Number of Simulations:
Specify the number of GBM paths to simulate (e.g., 30). Higher numbers yield more accurate EV and confidence bands but may impact performance.
Display Toggles:
Show Simulation Lines: Toggle to display or hide individual GBM simulation paths.
Show Expected Value Line: Toggle to display or hide the EV path.
Show Upper Confidence Band: Toggle to display or hide the upper confidence boundary.
Show Lower Confidence Band: Toggle to display or hide the lower confidence boundary.
Show EV of EV Line: Toggle to display or hide the running average of EV values.
Managing TradingView's Object Limits:
Understanding Limits:
TradingView imposes a limit on the number of graphical objects (e.g., lines) that can be rendered. High values for projection candles and simulations can quickly consume these limits. TradingView appears to only allow a total of 55 candles to be projected, so if you want to see two complete lines, you would have to set the projection length to 27: since 27 * 2 = 54 and 54 < 55.
Optimizing Performance:
Use Toggles: Enable only the necessary visual elements. For instance, disable simulation lines and confidence bands when focusing on the EV and EV of EV lines. You can also use the maximum projection length of 55 with the lower limit confidence band as the only line, visualizing a long horizon for your risk.
Adjust Parameters: Lower the number of projection candles or simulations to stay within object limits without compromising essential insights.
Interpreting the Indicator:
Simulation Lines (Blue):
Represent individual potential future price paths based on GBM. A wider spread indicates higher volatility.
Expected Value (EV) Line (Goldenrod):
Shows the mean projected price at each future bar, providing a central trend.
Confidence Bands (Green & Red):
Indicate the statistical range (95% confidence) within which the price is expected to remain.
EV of EV Line (Dotted Line - Goldenrod):
Reflects the running average of EV values, offering a smoothed perspective of expected price trends over the projection period.
Current Price (White):
Serves as a benchmark for assessing how actual prices compare to projected paths.
Practical Applications
Risk Management:
Confidence Bands: Help in identifying potential support and resistance levels based on statistical confidence intervals.
EV Path: Assists in setting realistic target prices and stop-loss levels aligned with projected expectations.

Dix$on's Weighted Volume FlowDixson's Weighted Volume Flow
Dixson's Weighted Volume Flow is a technical indicator designed to analyze and visualize the distribution of buy and sell volume within a given timeframe. It dynamically calculates the proportional allocation of volume based on price action within each bar, providing insights into market sentiment and activity. This indicator displays horizontal volume bars in a separate pane and annotates them with precise volume values.
How It Works
1. Volume Allocation:
- The indicator calculates buy and sell volume using the following formulas:
- Buy Volume = (Close - Low) / (High - Low) Total Volume
- Sell Volume = (High - Close) / (High - Low) Total Volume
- These formulas allocate volume proportionally based on the bar's price range, attributing more volume to buying or selling depending on the relationship between the close, high, and low prices.
2. Dynamic Scaling:
- The buy and sell volumes are scaled relative to their combined total for the period.
- The resulting values determine the length of the horizontal bars, providing a comparative view of buy and sell activity.
3. Bar Visualization:
- Buy Volume Bars: Displayed as green horizontal bars.
- Sell Volume Bars: Displayed as red horizontal bars.
- The lengths of the bars represent the dominance of buy or sell volume, scaled dynamically within the pane.
4. Labels:
- Each bar is annotated with a label showing its calculated buy or sell volume value.
5. Timeframe Adjustment:
- The indicator uses the request.security() function to fetch data from the selected timeframe, allowing users to customize their analysis for intraday, daily, or longer-term trends.
6. Customization Options:
- Enable or disable the indicator using a toggle.
- Adjust colors for the buy/sell bars and text labels to suit your chart theme.
How to Use It
1. Enable the Indicator:
- Activate the indicator using the "Enable/Disable" toggle in the settings.
2. Select a Timeframe:
- Choose the timeframe for analysis (e.g., 1-minute, 1-hour, daily). The indicator fetches volume data specific to the selected timeframe.
3. Interpret the Visualization:
- Compare Bar Lengths:
- Longer buy volume bars (green) indicate stronger buying activity.
- Longer sell volume bars (red) suggest dominant selling pressure.
- Labels:
- Use the labels to view the exact buy and sell volume values for precise analysis.
4. Combine with Other Tools:
- Use the indicator alongside price action analysis, support/resistance levels, or trend indicators to confirm market sentiment and detect potential reversals.
5. Monitor Imbalances:
- Significant disparities between buy and sell volume can signal shifts in market sentiment, such as the end of a trend or the start of a breakout.
Practical Applications
- Trend Confirmation:
- Align the dominance of buy or sell volume with price trends to confirm market direction.
- Reversal Signals:
- Watch for volume imbalances or a sudden shift in the dominance of buy or sell volume to identify potential reversals.
- High-Activity Zones:
- Identify areas with increased volume to anticipate significant price movements or key support/resistance interactions.
Dixson's Weighted Volume Flow provides a clear and systematic way to analyze market activity by visualizing the dynamics of buy and sell volume. It is particularly useful for traders looking to enhance their understanding of volume-based sentiment and its impact on price movements.
