Lyapunov Market Instability (LMI)Lyapunov Market Instability (LMI)
What is Lyapunov Market Instability?
Lyapunov Market Instability (LMI) is a revolutionary indicator that brings chaos theory from theoretical physics into practical trading. By calculating Lyapunov exponents—a measure of how rapidly nearby trajectories diverge in phase space—LMI quantifies market sensitivity to initial conditions. This isn't another oscillator or trend indicator; it's a mathematical lens that reveals whether markets are in chaotic (trending) or stable (ranging) regimes.
Inspired by the meditative color field paintings of Mark Rothko, this indicator transforms complex chaos mathematics into an intuitive visual experience. The elegant simplicity of the visualization belies the sophisticated theory underneath—just as Rothko's seemingly simple color blocks contain profound depth.
Theoretical Foundation (Chaos Theory & Lyapunov Exponents)
In dynamical systems, the Lyapunov exponent (λ) measures the rate of separation of infinitesimally close trajectories:
λ > 0: System is chaotic—small changes lead to dramatically different outcomes (butterfly effect)
λ < 0: System is stable—trajectories converge, perturbations die out
λ ≈ 0: Edge of chaos—transition between regimes
Phase Space Reconstruction
Using Takens' embedding theorem , we reconstruct market dynamics in higher dimensions:
Time-delay embedding: Create vectors from price at different lags
Nearest neighbor search: Find historically similar market states
Trajectory evolution: Track how these similar states diverged over time
Divergence rate: Calculate average exponential separation
Market Application
Chaotic markets (λ > threshold): Strong trends emerge, momentum dominates, use breakout strategies
Stable markets (λ < threshold): Mean reversion dominates, fade extremes, range-bound strategies work
Transition zones: Market regime about to change, reduce position size, wait for confirmation
How LMI Works
1. Phase Space Construction
Each point in time is embedded as a vector using historical prices at specific delays (τ). This reveals the market's hidden attractor structure.
2. Lyapunov Calculation
For each current state, we:
- Find similar historical states within epsilon (ε) distance
- Track how these initially similar states evolved
- Measure exponential divergence rate
- Average across multiple trajectories for robustness
3. Signal Generation
Chaos signals: When λ crosses above threshold, market enters trending regime
Stability signals: When λ crosses below threshold, market enters ranging regime
Divergence detection: Price/Lyapunov divergences signal potential reversals

2. How It Works
Sentival is a multi-factor trend and momentum analysis system, designed to track market cycle shifts using a combination of volatility, momentum, risk assessment, and valuation mechanisms. Instead of focusing on one dimension of the market, Sentival integrates multiple methodologies to cross-validate signals and reduce noise. Each indicator in Sentival plays a specific role, ensuring confirmation across different market conditions.
How Each Component Works Together
1️⃣ Chande Momentum Oscillator (CMO)
• A momentum-based measure that determines whether price action is dominated by upward or downward forces.
• Works well in combination with volatility measures to confirm whether a move is sustainable.
2️⃣ Disparity Index
• Measures the distance between price and its moving average, acting as an overextension filter.
• Ensures that trend-following signals are not driven by short-term spikes but sustained trends.
3️⃣ Bollinger Bands % (BB%)
• A volatility measure that indicates how far price is from the statistical mean.
• Helps identify trend exhaustion points where price moves become unstable.
4️⃣ Relative Strength Index (RSI)
• A trend confirmation layer, ensuring that momentum strength aligns with price movement.
• Adds an additional check to prevent false breakouts.
5️⃣ Rate of Change (RoC)
• Captures the speed of price movement, ensuring that the market has enough momentum for trend continuation.
• Works well with risk indicators to filter weaker moves.
6️⃣ Price Z-Score
• A statistical tool to measure how far price is from its long-term equilibrium.
• Helps prevent entering overstretched trends too late.
7️⃣ Risk Ratios (Sharpe, Sortino, Omega)
• This is the risk-adjusted performance component, ensuring that trends have a healthy risk-reward balance.
• Helps determine when a trend has structurally strong backing rather than speculative movement.
8️⃣ Hurst Cycle Analysis
• Measures the persistence of trends by analyzing price fractals.
• Ensures that the market regime is either trending or mean-reverting, improving trade confidence.
9️⃣ Commodity Channel Index (CCI)
• Helps identify strong trend conditions, adding another layer of momentum confirmation.
• Works well with other oscillators to prevent misreading counter-trends.
🔗 Why These Components Work Well Together
• Momentum + Volatility + Risk → Instead of relying on a single category, Sentival merges multiple dimensions of market behavior into a cohesive signal.
• Filters Out False Signals → Combining momentum oscillators, volatility measures, and risk-adjusted metrics ensures high-confidence entries.
• Adaptability Across Market Regimes → Whether the market is trending, consolidating, or volatile, the system adjusts dynamically.
• Cross-Validation for Trend Strength → If multiple components align, it increases certainty that a trend is real and sustainable.

3. Sentival Scanner - table breakdown
The dashboard-style table generated is designed to give traders a holistic market view at a glance. It processes a variety of technical signals and distills them into readable labels, visual strength bars, and actionable trend states. Here's a breakdown of what each section means:
1. Direction
This section analyzes whether the average Z-score (a composite of several indicators) is increasing, decreasing, or neutral over time. It does this using a smoothed trend of the Z-score, comparing recent values to older ones.
2. Momentum
Momentum is derived from the rate of change (RoC) of the average Z-score. It evaluates how strong the current move is. If momentum is above a certain positive threshold, it’s considered positive, if below a negative threshold, it’s negative, otherwise it’s neutral.
3. Impulse
Impulse reflects the velocity of momentum — in other words, is the market speeding up or slowing down? High positive values suggest strong acceleration (strong impulse), while negative values show deceleration or stalling.
4. Drive
This metric combines momentum and velocity to create a descriptive phrase that captures the market’s behavior. For example:
• “Strong Upside” means strong momentum with acceleration.
• “Fading Downside” means bearish momentum losing steam.
• “Neutral” appears when momentum is indecisive.
5. Deviation Distance
This represents how far the market price is from fair value in terms of standard deviation units (σ). It’s calculated using Z-scores and classified as:
• +1σ, +2σ, etc., for overvalued regions.
• −1σ, −2σ, etc., for undervalued areas.
• “At Fair Value” if close to the mean.
6. Bull and Bear Strength Bars
The system computes both bullish and bearish strength, using distance from fair value, the rate of change, and the velocity. These strengths are displayed as progress bars, giving a quick visual cue of conviction. The table labels them as:
• “Bull Conviction” if there's a long bias.
• “Bull Potential” if bullish but undecided.
• “Bear Conviction” or “Bear Potential” for short-side equivalents.
7. Trend Signal
This is a simple label that tells you if the scanner recommends a Long, Short, or Cash (neutral) stance based on threshold logic. It is based on whether the average Z-score crosses above a long threshold or below a short one.
8. Stage
The “Stage” label summarizes the valuation environment based on the composite Z-score:
• Strong Undervalued
• Moderately Undervalued
• Fair Value
• Overvalued, etc.
This stage helps traders know whether they are operating in cheap or expensive territory statistically.
Summary
Overall, this table merges advanced technical signals like momentum, volatility, valuation, and risk into a digestible format that updates dynamically with each bar. The goal is to provide traders with a 360° perspective on market conditions, tailored for both trend-following and mean-reversion strategies.

Full Day Midpoint Line with Dynamic StdDev Bands (ETH & RTH)A Pine Script indicator designed to plot a midpoint line based on the high and low prices of a user-defined trading session (typically Extended Trading Hours, ETH) and to add dynamic standard deviation (StdDev) bands around this midpoint.
Session Midpoint Line:
The midpoint is calculated as the average of the session's highest high and lowest low during the defined ETH period (e.g., 4:00 AM to 8:00 PM).
This line represents a central tendency or "fair value" for the session, similar to a pivot point or volume-weighted average price (VWAP) anchor.
Interpretation:
Prices above the midpoint suggest bullish sentiment, while prices below indicate bearish sentiment.
The midpoint can act as a dynamic support/resistance level, where price may revert to or react at this level during the session.
Dynamic StdDev Bands:
The bands are calculated by adding/subtracting a multiple of the standard deviation of the midpoint values (tracked in an array) from the midpoint.
The standard deviation is dynamically computed based on the historical midpoint values within the session, making the bands adaptive to volatility.
Interpretation:
The upper and lower bands represent potential overbought (upper) and oversold (lower) zones.
Prices approaching or crossing the bands may indicate stretched conditions, potentially signaling reversals or breakouts.
Trend Identification:
Use the midpoint as a reference for the session’s trend. Persistent price action above the midpoint suggests bullishness, while below indicates bearishness.
Combine with other indicators (e.g., moving averages, RSI) to confirm trend direction.
Support/Resistance Trading:
Treat the midpoint as a dynamic pivot point. Price rejections or consolidations near the midpoint can be entry points for mean-reversion trades.
The StdDev bands can act as secondary support/resistance levels. For example, price reaching the upper band may signal a potential short entry if accompanied by reversal signals.
Breakout/Breakdown Strategies:
A strong move beyond the upper or lower band may indicate a breakout (bullish above upper, bearish below lower). Confirm with volume or momentum indicators to avoid false breakouts.
The dynamic nature of the bands makes them useful for identifying significant price extensions.
Volatility Assessment:
Wider bands indicate higher volatility, suggesting larger price swings and potentially riskier trades.
Narrow bands suggest consolidation, which may precede a breakout. Traders can prepare for volatility expansions in such scenarios.
The "Full Day Midpoint Line with Dynamic StdDev Bands" is a versatile and visually intuitive indicator well-suited for day traders focusing on session-specific price action. Its dynamic midpoint and volatility-adjusted bands provide valuable insights into support, resistance, and potential reversals or breakouts.
Enhanced BTC Order Block IndicatorThe script you provided is an "Enhanced BTC Order Block Indicator" written in Pine Script v5 for TradingView. It is designed to identify and visually mark Order Blocks (OBs) on a Bitcoin (BTC) price chart, specifically tailored for a high-frequency scalping strategy on the 5-minute (M5) timeframe. Order Blocks are key price zones where institutional traders are likely to have placed significant buy or sell orders, making them high-probability areas for reversals or continuations. The script incorporates customizable filters, visual indicators, and alert functionality to assist traders in executing the strategy outlined earlier.
Key Features and Functionality
Purpose:
The indicator detects bullish Order Blocks (buy zones) and bearish Order Blocks (sell zones) based on a predefined percentage price movement (default 0.5–1%) and volume confirmation.
It marks these zones on the chart with colored boxes and provides alerts when an OB is detected.
User-Configurable Inputs:
Price Move Range: minMovePercent (default 0.5%) and maxMovePercent (default 1.0%) define the acceptable price movement range for identifying OBs.
Volume Threshold: volumeThreshold (default 1.5x average volume) ensures OB detection is backed by significant trading activity.
Lookback Period: lookback (default 10 candles) determines how many previous candles are analyzed to find the last candle before a strong move.
Wick/Body Option: useWick (default false) allows users to choose whether the OB zone is based on the candle’s wick or body.
Colors: bullishOBColor (default green) and bearishOBColor (default red) set the visual appearance of OB boxes.
Box Extension: boxExtension (default 100 bars) controls how far the OB box extends to the right on the chart.
RSI Filter: useRSI (default true) enables an RSI filter, with rsiLength (default 14), rsiBullishThreshold (default 50), and rsiBearishThreshold (default 50) for trend confirmation.
M15 Support/Resistance: useSR (default true) and srLookback (default 20) integrate M15 timeframe swing highs and lows for additional OB validation.
Core Logic:
Bullish OB Detection: Identifies a strong upward move (0.5–1%) with volume above the threshold. It then looks back to the last bearish candle before the move to define the OB zone. RSI > 50 and proximity to M15 support/resistance (optional) enhance confirmation.
Bearish OB Detection: Identifies a strong downward move (0.5–1%) with volume confirmation, tracing back to the last bullish candle. RSI < 50 and M15 resistance proximity (optional) add validation.
The OB zone is drawn as a rectangle from the high to low of the identified candle, extended rightward.
Visual Output:
Boxes: Uses box.new to draw OB zones, with left set to the previous bar (bar_index ), right extended by boxExtension, top and bottom defined by the OB’s high and low prices. Each box includes a text label ("Bullish OB" or "Bearish OB") and is semi-transparent.
Colors distinguish between bullish (green) and bearish (red) OBs.
Alerts:
Global alertcondition definitions trigger notifications for "Bullish OB Detected" and "Bearish OB Detected" when the respective conditions are met, displaying the current close price in the message.
Helper Functions:
f_priceChangePercent: Calculates the percentage price change between open and close prices.
isNearSR: Checks if the price is within 0.2% of M15 swing highs or lows for support/resistance confluence.
How It Works
The script runs on each candle, evaluating the current price action against the user-defined criteria.
When a bullish or bearish move is detected (meeting the percentage, volume, RSI, and S/R conditions), it identifies the preceding candle to define the OB zone.
The OB is then visualized on the chart, and an alert is triggered if configured in TradingView.
Use Case
This indicator is tailored for your BTC scalping strategy, where trades last 1–15 minutes targeting 0.3–0.5% gains. It helps traders spot institutional order zones on the M5 chart, confirmed by secondary M1 analysis, and integrates with your use of EMAs, RSI, and volume. The customizable settings allow adaptation to varying market conditions or personal preferences.
Limitations
The M15 S/R detection is simplified (using swing highs/lows), which may not always align perfectly with manual support/resistance levels.
Alerts depend on TradingView’s alert system and require manual setup.
Performance may vary with high volatility or low-volume periods, necessitating parameter adjustments.
Ultimate Scalping Tool[BullByte]Overview
The Ultimate Scalping Tool is an open-source TradingView indicator built for scalpers and short-term traders released under the Mozilla Public License 2.0. It uses a custom Quantum Flux Candle (QFC) oscillator to combine multiple market forces into one visual signal. In plain terms, the script reads momentum, trend strength, volatility, and volume together and plots a special “candlestick” each bar (the QFC) that reflects the overall market bias. This unified view makes it easier to spot entries and exits: the tool labels signals as Strong Buy/Sell, Pullback (a brief retracement in a trend), Early Entry, or Exit Warning . It also provides color-coded alerts and a small dashboard of metrics. In practice, traders see green/red oscillator bars and symbols on the chart when conditions align, helping them scalp or trend-follow without reading multiple separate indicators.
Core Components
Quantum Flux Candle (QFC) Construction
The QFC is the heart of the indicator. Rather than using raw price, it creates a candlestick-like bar from the underlying oscillator values. Each QFC bar has an “open,” “high/low,” and “close” derived from calculated momentum and volatility inputs for that period . In effect, this turns the oscillator into intuitive candle patterns so traders can recognize momentum shifts visually. (For comparison, note that Heikin-Ashi candles “have a smoother look because take an average of the movement”. The QFC instead represents exact oscillator readings, so it reflects true momentum changes without hiding price action.) Colors of QFC bars change dynamically (e.g. green for bullish momentum, red for bearish) to highlight shifts. This is the first open-source QFC oscillator that dynamically weights four non-correlated indicators with moving thresholds, which makes it a unique indicator on its own.
Oscillator Normalization & Adaptive Weights
The script normalizes its oscillator to a fixed scale (for example, a 0–100 range much like the RSI) so that various inputs can be compared fairly. It then applies adaptive weighting: the relative influence of trend, momentum, volatility or volume signals is automatically adjusted based on current market conditions. For instance, in very volatile markets the script might weight volatility more heavily, or in a strong trend it might give extra weight to trend direction. Normalizing data and adjusting weights helps keep the QFC sensitive but stable (normalization ensures all inputs fit a common scale).
Trend/Momentum/Volume/Volatility Fusion
Unlike a typical single-factor oscillator, the QFC oscillator fuses four aspects at once. It may compute, for example, a trend indicator (such as an ADX or moving average slope), a momentum measure (like RSI or Rate-of-Change), a volume-based pressure (similar to MFI/OBV), and a volatility measure (like ATR) . These different values are combined into one composite oscillator. This “multi-dimensional” approach follows best practices of using non-correlated indicators (trend, momentum, volume, volatility) for confirmation. By encoding all these signals in one line, a high QFC reading means that trend, momentum, and volume are all aligned, whereas a neutral reading might mean mixed conditions. This gives traders a comprehensive picture of market strength.
Signal Classification
The script interprets the QFC oscillator to label trades. For example:
• Strong Buy/Sell : Triggered when the oscillator crosses a high-confidence threshold (e.g. breaks clearly above zero with strong slope), indicating a well-confirmed move. This is like seeing a big green/red QFC candle aligned with the trend.
• Pullbacks : Identified when the trend is up but momentum dips briefly. A Pullback Buy appears if the overall trend is bullish but the oscillator has a short retracement – a typical buying opportunity in an uptrend. (A pullback is “a brief decline or pause in a generally upward price trend”.)
• Early Buy/Sell : Marks an initial swing in the oscillator suggesting a possible new trend, before it is fully confirmed. It’s a hint of momentum building (an early-warning signal), not as strong as the confirmed “Strong” signal.
• Exit Warnings : Issued when momentum peaks or reverses. For instance, if the QFC bars reach a high and start turning red/green opposite, the indicator warns that the move may be ending. In other words, a Momentum Peak is the point of maximum strength after which weakness may follow.
These categories correspond to typical trading concepts: Pullback (temporary reversal in an uptrend), Early Buy (an initial bullish cross), Strong Buy (confirmed bullish momentum), and Momentum Peak (peak oscillator value suggesting exhaustion).
Filters (DI Reversal, Dynamic Thresholds, HTF EMA/ADX)
Extra filters help avoid bad trades. A DI Reversal filter uses the +DI/–DI lines (from the ADX system) to require that the trend direction confirms the signal . For example, it might ignore a buy signal if the +DI is still below –DI. Dynamic Thresholds adjust signal levels on-the-fly: rather than fixed “overbought” lines, they move with volatility so signals happen under appropriate market stress. An optional High-Timeframe EMA or ADX filter adds a check against a larger timeframe trend: for instance, only taking a trade if price is above the weekly EMA or if weekly ADX shows a strong trend. (Notably, the ADX is “a technical indicator used by traders to determine the strength of a price trend”, so requiring a high-timeframe ADX avoids trading against the bigger trend.)
Dashboard Metrics & Color Logic
The Dashboard in the Ultimate Scalping Tool (UST) serves as a centralized information hub, providing traders with real-time insights into market conditions, trend strength, momentum, volume pressure, and trade signals.

- DI Reversal Filter: On/Off (confirms reversals before generating signals).
- Dynamic Thresholds: On/Off (adjusts buy/sell thresholds based on volatility).
- Adaptive Weighting: On/Off (auto-adjusts oscillator weights for trend/momentum/volatility).
- Early Signal: On/Off (enables early momentum-based signals).
- Leading HTF Filter: On/Off (applies higher timeframe trend confirmation).
4. Visual Enhancements
Color-Coded Cells : Each metric is color-coded (green for bullish, red for bearish, gray for neutral) for quick interpretation.
Dynamic Background : The dashboard background adapts to market conditions (bullish/bearish/neutral) based on ADX and DI trends.
Customizable Reference Lines : Users can enable/disable fixed reference lines for the oscillator.
How It(QFC) Differs from Traditional Indicators
Quantum Flux Candle (QFC) Versus Heikin-Ashi
Heikin-Ashi candles smooth price by averaging (HA’s open/close use averages) so they show trend clearly but hide true price (the current HA bar’s close is not the real price). QFC candles are different: they are oscillator values, not price averages . A Heikin-Ashi chart “has a smoother look because it is essentially taking an average of the movement”, which can cause lag. The QFC instead shows the raw combined momentum each bar, allowing faster recognition of shifts. In short, HA is a smoothed price chart; QFC is a momentum-based chart.
Versus Standard Oscillators
Common oscillators like RSI or MACD use fixed formulas on price (or price+volume). For example, RSI “compares gains and losses and normalizes this value on a scale from 0 to 100”, reflecting pure price momentum. MFI is similar but adds volume. These indicators each show one dimension: momentum or volume. The Ultimate Scalping Tool’s QFC goes further by integrating trend strength and volatility too. In practice, this means a move that looks strong on RSI might be downplayed by low volume or weak trend in QFC. As one source notes, using multiple non-correlated indicators (trend, momentum, volume, volatility) provides a more complete market picture. The QFC’s multi-factor fusion is unique – it is effectively a multi-dimensional oscillator rather than a traditional single-input one.
Signal Style
Traditional oscillators often use crossovers (RSI crossing 50) or fixed zones (MACD above zero) for signals. The Ultimate Scalping Tool’s signals are custom-classified: it explicitly labels pullbacks, early entries, and strong moves. These terms go beyond a typical indicator’s generic “buy”/“sell.” In other words, it packages a strategy around the oscillator, which traders can backtest or observe without reading code.
Key Term Definitions
• Pullback : A short-term dip or consolidation in an uptrend. In this script, a Pullback Buy appears when price is generally rising but shows a brief retracement. (As defined by Investopedia, a pullback is “a brief decline or pause in a generally upward price trend”.)
• Early Buy/Sell : An initial or tentative entry signal. It means the oscillator first starts turning positive (or negative) before a full trend has developed. It’s an early indication that a trend might be starting.
• Strong Buy/Sell : A confident entry signal when multiple conditions align. This label is used when momentum is already strong and confirmed by trend/volume filters, offering a higher-probability trade.
• Momentum Peak : The point where bullish (or bearish) momentum reaches its maximum before weakening. When the oscillator value stops rising (or falling) and begins to reverse, the script flags it as a peak – signaling that the current move could be overextended.
What is the Flux MA?
The Flux MA (Moving Average) is an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) applied to a normalized oscillator, referred to as FM . Its purpose is to smooth out the fluctuations of the oscillator, providing a clearer picture of the underlying trend direction and strength. Think of it as a dynamic baseline that the oscillator moves above or below, helping you determine whether the market is trending bullish or bearish.
How it’s calculated (Flux MA):
1.The oscillator is normalized (scaled to a range, typically between 0 and 1, using a default scale factor of 100.0).
2.An EMA is applied to this normalized value (FM) over a user-defined period (default is 10 periods).
3.The result is rescaled back to the oscillator’s original range for plotting.
Why it matters : The Flux MA acts like a support or resistance level for the oscillator, making it easier to spot trend shifts.
Color of the Flux Candle
The Quantum Flux Candle visualizes the normalized oscillator (FM) as candlesticks, with colors that indicate specific market conditions based on the relationship between the FM and the Flux MA. Here’s what each color means:
• Green : The FM is above the Flux MA, signaling bullish momentum. This suggests the market is trending upward.
• Red : The FM is below the Flux MA, signaling bearish momentum. This suggests the market is trending downward.
• Yellow : Indicates strong buy conditions (e.g., a "Strong Buy" signal combined with a positive trend). This is a high-confidence signal to go long.
• Purple : Indicates strong sell conditions (e.g., a "Strong Sell" signal combined with a negative trend). This is a high-confidence signal to go short.
The candle mode shows the oscillator’s open, high, low, and close values for each period, similar to price candlesticks, but it’s the color that provides the quick visual cue for trading decisions.
How to Trade the Flux MA with Respect to the Candle
Trading with the Flux MA and Quantum Flux Candle involves using the MA as a trend indicator and the candle colors as entry and exit signals. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
1. Identify the Trend Direction
• Bullish Trend : The Flux Candle is green and positioned above the Flux MA. This indicates upward momentum.
• Bearish Trend : The Flux Candle is red and positioned below the Flux MA. This indicates downward momentum.
The Flux MA serves as the reference line—candles above it suggest buying pressure, while candles below it suggest selling pressure.
2. Interpret Candle Colors for Trade Signals
• Green Candle : General bullish momentum. Consider entering or holding a long position.
• Red Candle : General bearish momentum. Consider entering or holding a short position.
• Yellow Candle : A strong buy signal. This is an ideal time to enter a long trade.
• Purple Candle : A strong sell signal. This is an ideal time to enter a short trade.
3. Enter Trades Based on Crossovers and Colors
• Long Entry : Enter a buy position when the Flux Candle turns green and crosses above the Flux MA. If it turns yellow, this is an even stronger signal to go long.
• Short Entry : Enter a sell position when the Flux Candle turns red and crosses below the Flux MA. If it turns purple, this is an even stronger signal to go short.
4. Exit Trades
• Exit Long : Close your buy position when the Flux Candle turns red or crosses below the Flux MA, indicating the bullish trend may be reversing.
• Exit Short : Close your sell position when the Flux Candle turns green or crosses above the Flux MA, indicating the bearish trend may be reversing.
•You might also exit a long trade if the candle changes from yellow to green (weakening strong buy signal) or a short trade from purple to red (weakening strong sell signal).
5. Use Additional Confirmation
To avoid false signals, combine the Flux MA and candle signals with other indicators or dashboard metrics (e.g., trend strength, momentum, or volume pressure). For example:
•A yellow candle with a " Strong Bullish " trend and high buying volume is a robust long signal.
•A red candle with a " Moderate Bearish " trend and neutral momentum might need more confirmation before shorting.
Practical Example
Imagine you’re scalping a cryptocurrency:
• Long Trade : The Flux Candle turns yellow and is above the Flux MA, with the dashboard showing "Strong Buy" and high buying volume. You enter a long position. You exit when the candle turns red and dips below the Flux MA.
• Short Trade : The Flux Candle turns purple and crosses below the Flux MA, with a "Strong Sell" signal on the dashboard. You enter a short position. You exit when the candle turns green and crosses above the Flux MA.
Market Presets and Adaptation
This indicator is designed to work on any market with candlestick price data (stocks, crypto, forex, indices, etc.). To handle different behavior, it provides presets for major asset classes. Selecting a “Stocks,” “Crypto,” “Forex,” or “Options” preset automatically loads a set of parameter values optimized for that market . For example, a crypto preset might use a shorter lookback or higher sensitivity to account for crypto’s high volatility, while a stocks preset might use slightly longer smoothing since stocks often trend more slowly. In practice, this means the same core QFC logic applies across markets, but the thresholds and smoothing adjust so signals remain relevant for each asset type.
Usage Guidelines
• Recommended Timeframes : Optimized for 1 minute to 15 minute intraday charts. Can also be used on higher timeframes for short term swings.
• Market Types : Select “Crypto,” “Stocks,” “Forex,” or “Options” to auto tune periods, thresholds and weights. Use “Custom” to manually adjust all inputs.
• Interpreting Signals : Always confirm a signal by checking that trend, volume, and VWAP agree on the dashboard. A green “Strong Buy” arrow with green trend, green volume, and price > VWAP is highest probability.
• Adjusting Sensitivity : To reduce false signals in fast markets, enable DI Reversal Confirmation and Dynamic Thresholds. For more frequent entries in trending environments, enable Early Entry Trigger.
• Risk Management : This tool does not plot stop loss or take profit levels. Users should define their own risk parameters based on support/resistance or volatility bands.
Background Shading
To give you an at-a-glance sense of market regime without reading numbers, the indicator automatically tints the chart background in three modes—neutral, bullish and bearish—with two levels of intensity (light vs. dark):
Neutral (Gray)
When ADX is below 20 the market is considered “no trend” or too weak to trade. The background fills with a light gray (high transparency) so you know to sit on your hands.
Bullish (Green)
As soon as ADX rises above 20 and +DI exceeds –DI, the background turns a semi-transparent green, signaling an emerging uptrend. When ADX climbs above 30 (strong trend), the green becomes more opaque—reminding you that trend-following signals (Strong Buy, Pullback) carry extra weight.
Bearish (Red)
Similarly, if –DI exceeds +DI with ADX >20, you get a light red tint for a developing downtrend, and a darker, more solid red once ADX surpasses 30.
By dynamically varying both hue (green vs. red vs. gray) and opacity (light vs. dark), the background instantly communicates trend strength and direction—so you always know whether to favor breakout-style entries (in a strong trend) or stay flat during choppy, low-ADX conditions.
The setup shown in the above chart snapshot is BTCUSD 15 min chart : Binance for reference.
Disclaimer
No indicator guarantees profits. Backtest or paper trade this tool to understand its behavior in your market. Always use proper position sizing and stop loss orders.
Good luck!

Volume-Weighted Price MovementThe Volume-Weighted Price Movement (VWPM) indicator is an easy to read technical analysis tool that analyses how volume and price movement work together to drive market momentum.
How It Works
The VWPM indicator tracks two primary components:
Bullish Movement (green line): Measures the upward price movement weighted by volume. When price closes above the open, this component calculates how much buying pressure exists by multiplying the price change (close - open) by the volume of that period.
Bearish Movement (red line): Measures the downward price movement weighted by volume. When price closes below the open, this component calculates how much selling pressure exists by multiplying the price change (open - close) by the volume of that period.
Bull-Bear Difference (lime/orange line): Shows the net momentum by subtracting bearish movement from bullish movement, providing an at-a-glance view of which force is dominant.
The VWPM integrates volume data to identify whether price movements are backed by significant participation. A large price move with low volume carries less weight than the same move with high volume, providing a more accurate reflection of market strength.
A shorter lookback period makes the indicator more responsive to recent price action, while a longer period smooths out market noise for trend identification.
Interpretation
Bullish Signals
When the green line (bull movement) rises and stays above the red line
When the Bull-Bear Difference line crosses above zero and maintains positive momentum
Divergence between price making lower lows but the bull line making higher lows (hidden strength)
Bearish Signals
When the red line (bear movement) rises and stays above the green line
When the Bull-Bear Difference line crosses below zero and maintains negative momentum
Divergence between price making higher highs but the bull line making lower highs (hidden weakness)

Dynamic Volatility EnvelopeDynamic Volatility Envelope: Indicator Overview
The Dynamic Volatility Envelope is an advanced, multi-faceted technical indicator designed to provide a comprehensive view of market trends, volatility, and potential future price movements. It centers around a customizable linear regression line, enveloped by dynamically adjusting volatility bands. The indicator offers rich visual feedback through gradient coloring, candle heatmaps, a background volatility pulse, and an on-chart trend strength meter.
Core Calculation Mechanism
Linear Regression Core :
-A central linear regression line is calculated based on a user-defined source (e.g., close, hl2) and lookback period.
-The regression line can be optionally smoothed using an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) to reduce noise.
-The slope of this regression line is continuously calculated to determine the current trend direction and strength.
Volatility Channel :
-Dynamic bands are plotted above and below a central basis line. This basis is typically the calculated regression line but shifts to an EMA in Keltner mode.
-The width of these bands is determined by market volatility, using one of three user-selectable modes:
ATR Mode : Bandwidth is a multiple of the Average True Range (ATR).
Standard Deviation Mode : Bandwidth is a multiple of the Standard Deviation of the source data.
Keltner Mode (EMA-based ATR) : ATR-based bands are plotted around a central Keltner EMA line, offering a smoother channel.
The channel helps identify dynamic support and resistance levels and assess market volatility.
Future Projection :
The indicator can project the current regression line and its associated volatility bands into the future for a user-defined number of bars. This provides a visual guide for potential future price pathways based on current trend and volatility characteristics.
Candle Heatmap Coloring :
-Candle bodies and/or wicks/borders can be colored based on the price's position within the upper and lower volatility bands.
-Colors transition in a gradient from bearish (when price is near the lower band) through neutral (mid-channel) to bullish (when price is near the upper band), providing an intuitive visual cue of price action relative to the dynamic envelope.
Background Volatility Pulse :
The chart background color can be set to dynamically shift based on a ratio of short-term to long-term ATR. This creates a "pulse" effect, where the background subtly changes color to indicate rising or falling market volatility.
Trend Strength Meter :
An on-chart text label displays the current trend status (e.g., "Strong Bullish", "Neutral", "Bearish") based on the calculated slope of the regression line relative to user-defined thresholds for normal and strong trends.
Key Features & Components
-Dynamic Linear Regression Line: Core trend indicator with optional smoothing and slope-based gradient coloring.
-Multi-Mode Volatility Channel: Choose between ATR, Standard Deviation, or Keltner (EMA-based ATR) calculations for band width.
-Customizable Vertical Gradient Channel Fills: Visually distinct fills for upper and lower channel segments with user-defined top/bottom colors and gradient spread.
-Future Projection: Extrapolates regression line and volatility bands to forecast potential price paths.
-Price-Action Based Candle Heatmap: Intuitive candle coloring based on position within the volatility channel, with adjustable gradient midpoint.
-Volatility-Reactive Background Gradient: Subtle background color shifts to reflect changes in market volatility.
-On-Chart Trend Strength Meter: Clear textual display of current trend direction and strength.
-Extensive Visual Customization: Fine-tune colors, line styles, widths, and gradient aggressiveness for most visual elements.
-Comprehensive Tooltips: Detailed explanations for every input setting, ensuring ease of use and understanding.
Visual Elements Explained
Regression Line : The primary trend line. Its color dynamically changes (e.g., green for uptrend, red-pink for downtrend, neutral for flat) based on its slope, with smooth gradient transitions.
Volatility Channel :
Upper & Lower Bands : These lines form the outer boundaries of the envelope, acting as dynamic support and resistance levels.
Channel Fill : The area between the band center and the outer bands is filled with a vertical gradient. For example, the upper band fill might transition from a darker green near the center to a lighter green at the upper band.
Band Borders : The lines outlining the upper and lower bands, with customizable color and width.
Future Projection Lines & Fill :
Projected Regression Line : An extension of the current regression line into the future, typically styled differently (e.g., dashed).
Projected Channel Bands : Extensions of the upper and lower volatility bands.
Projected Area Fill : A semi-transparent fill between the projected upper and lower bands.
Candle Heatmap Coloring : When enabled, candles are colored based on their closing price's relative position within the channel. Bullish colors appear when price is in the upper part of the channel, bearish in the lower, and neutral in the middle. Users can choose to color the entire candle body or just the wicks and borders.
Background Volatility Pulse : The chart's background color subtly shifts (e.g., between a calm green and an agitated red-pink) to reflect the current volatility regime.
Trend Strength Meter : A text label (e.g., "TREND: STRONG BULLISH") positioned on the chart, providing an at-a-glance summary of the trend.
Configuration Options
Users can tailor the indicator extensively via the settings panel, with options logically grouped:
Core Analysis Engine : Adjust regression source data, lookback period, and EMA smoothing for the regression line.
Regression Line Visuals : Control visibility, line width, trend-based colors (uptrend, downtrend, flat), slope thresholds for trend definition, strong slope multiplier (for Trend Meter), and color gradient sharpness.
Volatility Channel Configuration : Select band calculation mode (ATR, StdDev, Keltner), set relevant periods and multipliers. Customize colors for vertical gradient fills (upper/lower, top/bottom), border line colors, widths, and the gradient spread factor for fills.
Future Projection Configuration : Toggle visibility, set projection length (number of bars), line style, and colors for projected regression and band areas.
Appearance & Candle Theme : Set default bull/bear candle colors, enable/disable candle heatmap, choose if body color matches heatmap, and configure heatmap gradient target colors (bull, neutral, bear) and the gradient's midpoint.
Background Volatility Pulse : Enable/disable the background effect and configure short/long ATR periods for the volatility calculation.
Trend Strength Meter : Enable/disable the meter, and choose its on-chart position and text size.
Interpretation Notes
-The Regression Line is the primary indicator of trend direction. Its slope and color provide immediate insight.
-The Volatility Bands serve as dynamic support and resistance zones. Price approaching or touching these bands may indicate potential turning points or breakouts. The width of the channel itself reflects market volatility – widening suggests increasing volatility, while narrowing suggests consolidation.
Future Projections are not predictions but rather an extension of current conditions. They can help visualize potential areas where price might interact with projected support/resistance if the current trend and volatility persist.
Candle Heatmap Coloring offers a quick visual assessment of where price is trading within the dynamic envelope, highlighting strength or weakness relative to the channel.
The Background Volatility Pulse gives a contextual feel for overall market agitation or calmness.
This indicator is designed to be a comprehensive analytical tool. Its signals and visualizations are best used in conjunction with other technical analysis techniques, price action study, and robust risk management practices. It is not intended as a standalone trading system.

🎯 PURPOSE OF USAGE
The primary goal of the "AQPRO Pattern Map" is to equip traders with a highly efficient way of identifying significant candlestick patterns across different timeframes, making the decision-making process stronger in a sense of both quality and quantity of presented information.
Specifically, this indicator addresses the following needs:
Automation of pattern detection.
Nobody likes searching for patterns on the chart "by hand", because it takes too much time and mental energy. With this screener you can forget about this problem: automatic scanning for 27 of the most commonly used patterns will save your tens, if not hundreds of hours of time, so you can focus on what really matters;
Multi-timeframe (MTF) analysis.
This one is one of the most unique features of this indicator, because after conducting product research in library of open-source scripts alike this screener, almost none of reviewed indicators had MTF analysis feature embedded in them. This feature is important for the simplest of reasons: you see candlestick data from other timeframes without jumping from one timeframe to another . Needless to say how much time it will save for traders over the years of trading. See description below to learn more on exact functionality of our MTF analysis;
Risk management automation.
Humans tend to overestimate risk, when matters are about earning money from "financially-dangerous" activities and trading is no exception. To help traders better understand what they risk, we implemented a simple, yet effective way of displaying levels of risk for each pattern. For each new pattern on the chart you will be able see automatic creation of Take-Profit (TP) and Stop-Loss (SL) levels. It involves creation and displaying of lines and labels, representing each level at its exact coordinates. This elevates visual perception of risk for fellow traders and avoid excessive risk in many cases;
Simplicity in data visualization.
Charts, which are cluttered with pointless visual noise, presented as 'additional confirmation analysis', don't foster insights and are not worth a dime . We understand this issue very well and we designed our indicator with the solution to this problem in mind. Every bit of information, that you will see on your chart, will make sense both technically and visually — no more wasting time cleaning mess on your charts.
By addressing the needs, described above, this indicator will be a useful tool for any trader, who employs principles of candlestick pattern analysis, because most important pains of this kind of analysis are efficiently handled by our indicator.

📈 APPLICATION GUIDE
The way of application of this indicator is pretty straightforward, because trading methodologies based on candlestick patterns were developed decades ago and haven't changed much since then. However, we find it necessary to explain the most essential ways of application in this section.
Let's start with the basics — how you will your chart look when you load the indicator for the first time:
By default we have 5 main visual data "blocks":
Bullish patterns;
Bearish patterns;
Risk visualization;
Main Dashboard;
MTF Screener.
Let's review each of these groups one by one.
BULLISH & BEARISH PATTERNS
Patterns are displayed as up/down labels, which are styled in corresponding to trend colours. Each patterns has its own unique emoji to help traders easily navigate between patterns.
Also by default each pattern has its custom frame, inside of which resides candle (or multiple candles) of the pattern iself. These frames are made with purpose to show each pattern in a very clear way on the chart, because huge number of public scripts usually only show simple label of such patterns and don't highlight the pattern itself on the chart. To remove frames you can set "Frame Width" parameter to 0 in 'Visual Settings' group in the settings.
You can see the examples of frame on the screenshot below:
RISK VISUALIZATION (TP & SL)
Displaying Take-Profits and Stop-Losses in our indicator on the chart works quite simple: for each new trade indicator creates new pairs of lines and labels for TP and SL, while lines & labels from previous trade are erased for aesthetics purposes. Each label shows price coordinates, so that each trader would be able to grap the numbers in seconds.
See the visual showcase of TP & SL visualization on the screenshot below:
Also, whenever TP or SL of the current trade is reached, drawing of both TP and SL stops . When the TP is reached, additional '✅' emoji on the TP price is shown as confirmation of Take-Profit.
However, while TP or SL has not been reached, TP&SL labels and lines will be prolonged until one of them will be reached or new signals will come.
See the visual showcase of TP & SL stopping being visualized & TP on the screenshot below:
MAIN DASHBOARD
Main dashboard is displayed in the top right corner of the chart and it shows the data of latest pattern, that occurred on the current asset and current timeframe: pattern's name, TP, SL and trade status. Depending on bullishness or bearishness of the pattern, dashboard is colour in respective colour.
Also on the right of side TP and SL data block there is a so called trade status. It is basically an indication of wether or not latest pattern's trade is still active or not:
If TP or SL of the pattern have not been reached yet, trade is considered active and is marked with '⏳' emoji;
If TP or SL of the pattern have already been reached, trade is considered inactive and is marked with '✋' emoji.
See the visual showcase of dashboard on the screenshot below:
MTF Screener
MTF Screener is displayed right below the main dashboard and its has distinctive 'MTF Patterns' header row on the top, painted in gray colour to make sure that every traders understand he is looking at.
This screener shows the timeframe and name of patterns from four other timeframes, which trader can customize in the settings to his liking. This will help trader get more insights on global sentiment of other timeframes, which improves trading results overall if applied correctly.
In the future MTF Screener will be expanded to have more data in it, like TP and SL, age of pattern and etc.
See the visual showcase of the MTF Screener on the screenshot below:
Features, explained above, make this indicator quite versatile and suitable for incorporation in any trading strategy, which uses candlestick patterns. They are simple, yet insightful, and traders, which use similar strategies everyday, will truly appreciate the benefits of this indicator when they will set up this indicator for the first time on their chart.
🔔 ALERTS
This indicator employs alerts for an event when new pattern occurs. While creating the alert below 'Condition' field choose 'any alert() function call' .
When this alert is triggered, it will generate this kind of message:
string msg_template = "EXCHANGE:ASSET, TIMEFRAME: BULLISH_OR_BEARISH pattern PATTERN_NAME was found."
string msg_example = "BINANCE:BTCUSDT, 15m: bullish pattern 'Hammer' was found."
📌 NOTES
This indicator is most effective when used in combination with other technical analysis tools such as trendlines, moving averages, support/resistance levels or any other indicator-type tool. We strongly recommend using this indicator as confirmation indicator for your main trading strategy, not as primary source of signals;
If you want to trade directly by these patterns, make sure to use proper risk management techniques of your own and use TP&SL visualization on the chart to always have a clue about your current position;
If you lost track of visual components on the chart, look at the main dashboard to see text summary of data from latest pattern. Also don't forget to look at MTF Screener to have more context about MTF sentiment, because it is increases your understandings of MTF price trend and improves your decision-making process.
🏁 AFTERWORD
AQPRO Pattern Map was built to help traders automate candlestick pattern searching routine, improve chart readability and enhance perception of current potential risks, which may come from trading from a specific pattern. Indicator's main dashboard and MTF screener eliminate the need for constantly checking other timeframe for global sentiment, helping traders save even more time and fostering improved decision making.
This indicator will work in great conjunction with any other trading strategy as confirmation tool for entry decision. Using this indicator as primary source of signals is not recommended due to unstable nature of trading patterns.

Support BandsSupport Bands – Discount Zones for Bitcoin
⚡Overview:
-The Support Bands indicator identifies one of the most tested and respected support zones for Bitcoin using moving averages from higher timeframes.
-These zones are visualized through colored bands (blue, white, and violet), simplifying the decision making process especially for less experienced traders who seek high-probability areas to accumulate Bitcoin during retracements.
-Band levels are based on manual backtesting and real-world price behavior throughout Bitcoin’s history.
-Each zone reflects a different degree of support strength, from temporary pullback zones to historical bottoms.
⚡️ Key Characteristics:
-Highlights discount zones where Bitcoin has historically shown strong reactions.
-Uses 3 different levels of supports based on EMA/SMA combinations.
-Offers a clean, non-intrusive overlay that reduces chart clutter.
⚡ How to Use:
-Open your chart on the 1W timeframe and select the BTC Bitstamp or BLX symbol, as they provide the most complete historical data, ensuring optimal performance of the indicator.
-Use the bands as reference zones for support and potential pullbacks.
- Level 3 (violet band) historically marks the bottom of Bitcoin bear markets and is ideal for long-term entries during deep corrections.
- Level 2 (white band) often signals macro reaccumulation zones but usually requires 1–3 months of consolidation before a breakout. If the price closes below and then retests this level as resistance for 1–2 weekly candles, it often marks the start of a macro downtrend.
-Level 1 (blue band) acts as short-term support during strong bullish moves, typically after a successful rebound from Level 2.
⚡ What Makes It Unique:
- This script merges moving averages per level into three simplified bands for clearer analysis.
-Reduces chart noise by avoiding multiple overlapping lines, helping you make faster and cleaner decisions.
- Built from manual market study based on recurring Bitcoin behavior, not just random code.
-Historically backtested:
-Level 3 (violet band) until today has always marked the bitcoin bearmarket bottom.
- Level 2 (white band) is the strongest support during bull markets; losing it often signals a macro trend reversal.
- Level 1 is frequently retested during impulsive rallies and can act as short-term support or resistance.
⚡ Disclaimer:
-This script is a visual tool to assist with market analysis.
-It does not generate buy or sell signals, nor does it predict future movements.
-Historical performance is not indicative of future results.
-Always use independent judgment and proper risk management.
⚡ Why Use Support Bands:
-Ideal for traders who want clarity without dozens of lines on their charts.
- Helps identify logical zones for entry or reaccumulation.
- Based on actual market behavior rather than hypothetical setups.
-If the blue band (Level 1) doesn't hold as support, the price often moves to the white band (Level 2), and if that fails too, the violet band (Level 3) is typically the last strong support. By dividing your capital into three planned entries, one at each level,you can manage risk more effectively compared to entering blindly without this structure.
Multi-Timeframe Continuity Custom Candle ConfirmationMulti-Timeframe Continuity Custom Candle Confirmation
Overview
The Timeframe Continuity Indicator is a versatile tool designed to help traders identify alignment between their current chart’s candlestick direction and higher timeframes of their choice. By coloring bars on the current chart (e.g., 1-minute) based on the directional alignment with selected higher timeframes (e.g., 10-minute, daily), this indicator provides a visual cue for confirming trends across multiple timeframes—a concept known as Timeframe Continuity. This approach is particularly useful for day traders, swing traders, and scalpers looking to ensure their trades align with broader market trends, reducing the risk of trading against the prevailing momentum.
Originality and Usefulness
This indicator is an original creation, built from scratch to address a common challenge in trading: ensuring that price action on a lower timeframe aligns with the trend on higher timeframes. Unlike many trend-following indicators that rely on moving averages, oscillators, or other lagging metrics, this script directly compares the bullish or bearish direction of candlesticks across timeframes. It introduces the following unique features:
Customizable Timeframes: Users can select from a range of higher timeframes (5m, 10m, 15m, 30m, 1h, 2h, 4h, 1d, 1w, 1M) to check for alignment, making it adaptable to various trading styles.
Neutral Candle Handling: The script accounts for neutral candles (where close == open) on the current timeframe by allowing them to inherit the direction of the higher timeframe, ensuring continuity in trend visualization.
Table: A table displays the direction of each selected timeframe and the current timeframe, helping identify direction in the event you don't want to color bars.
Toggles for Flexibility: Options to disable bar coloring and the debug table allow users to customize the indicator’s visual output for cleaner charts or focused analysis.
This indicator is not a mashup of existing scripts but a purpose-built tool to visualize timeframe alignment directly through candlestick direction, offering traders a straightforward way to confirm trend consistency.
What It Does
The Timeframe Continuity Indicator colors bars on your chart when the direction of the current timeframe’s candlestick (bullish, bearish, or neutral) aligns with the direction of the selected higher timeframes:
Lime: The current bar (e.g., 1m) is bullish or neutral, and all selected higher timeframes (e.g., 10m) are bullish.
Pink: The current bar is bearish or neutral, and all selected higher timeframes are bearish.
Default Color: If the directions don’t align (e.g., 1m bar is bearish but 10m is bullish), the bar remains the default chart color.
The indicator also includes a debug table (toggleable) that shows the direction of each selected timeframe and the current timeframe, helping traders diagnose alignment issues.
How It Works
The script uses the following methodology:
1. Direction Calculation: For each timeframe (current and selected higher timeframes), the script determines the candlestick’s direction:
Bullish (1): close > open / Bearish (-1): close < open / Neutral (0): close == open
Higher timeframe directions are fetched using Pine Script’s request.security function, ensuring accurate data retrieval.
2. Alignment Check: The script checks if all selected higher timeframes are uniformly bullish (full_bullish) or bearish (full_bearish).
o A higher timeframe must have a clear direction (bullish or bearish) to trigger coloring. If any selected timeframe is neutral, alignment fails, and no coloring occurs.
3. Coloring Logic: The current bar is colored only if its direction aligns with the higher timeframes:
Lime if the higher timeframes are bullish and the current bar is bullish or neutral.
Maroon if the higher timeframes are bearish and the current bar is bearish or neutral.
If the current bar’s direction opposes the higher timeframe (e.g., 1m bearish, 10m bullish), the bar remains uncolored.
Users can disable bar coloring entirely via the settings, leaving bars in their default chart color.
4. Direction Table:
A table in the top-right corner (toggleable) displays the direction of each selected timeframe and the current timeframe, using color-coded labels (green for bullish, red for bearish, gray for neutral).
This feature helps traders understand why a bar is or isn’t colored, making the indicator accessible to users unfamiliar with Pine Script.
How to Use
1. Add the Indicator: Add the "Timeframe Continuity Indicator" to your chart in TradingView (e.g., a 1m chart of SPY).
2. Configure Settings:
Timeframe Selection: Check the boxes for the higher timeframes you want to compare against (default: 10m). Options include 5m, 10m, 15m, 30m, 1h, 2h, 4h, 1D, 1W, and 1M. Select multiple timeframes if you want to ensure alignment across all of them (e.g., 10m and 1d).
Enable Bar Coloring: Default: true (bars are colored lime or maroon when aligned). Set to false to disable coloring and keep the default chart colors.
Show Table: Default: true (table is displayed in the top-right corner). Set to false to hide the table for a cleaner chart.
3. Interpret the Output:
Colored Bars: Lime bars indicate the current bar (e.g., 1m) is bullish or neutral, and all selected higher timeframes are bullish. Maroon bars indicate the current bar is bearish or neutral, and all selected higher timeframes are bearish. Uncolored bars (default chart color) indicate a mismatch (e.g., 1m bar is bearish while 10m is bullish) or no coloring if disabled.
Direction Table: Check the table to see the direction of each selected timeframe and the current timeframe.
4. Example Use Case:
On a 1m chart of SPY, select the 10m timeframe.
If the 10m timeframe is bearish, 1m bars that are bearish or neutral will color maroon, confirming you’re trading with the higher timeframe’s trend.
If a 1m bar is bullish while the 10m is bearish, it remains uncolored, signaling a potential misalignment to avoid trading.
Underlying Concepts
The indicator is based on the concept of Timeframe Continuity, a strategy used by traders to ensure that price action on a lower timeframe aligns with the trend on higher timeframes. This reduces the risk of entering trades against the broader market direction. The script directly compares candlestick directions (bullish, bearish, or neutral) rather than relying on lagging indicators like moving averages or RSI, providing a real-time, price-action-based confirmation of trend alignment. The handling of neutral candles ensures that minor indecision on the lower timeframe doesn’t interrupt the visualization of the higher timeframe’s trend.
Why This Indicator?
Simplicity: Directly compares candlestick directions, avoiding complex calculations or lagging indicators.
Flexibility: Customizable timeframes and toggles cater to various trading strategies.
Transparency: The debug table makes the indicator’s logic accessible to all users, not just those who can read Pine Script.
Practicality: Helps traders confirm trend alignment, a key factor in successful trading across timeframes.

1. Bi-Directional Component Separation
The indicator presents momentum through mathematically isolated histograms that separate bullish and bearish forces for independent analysis.
When bullish momentum is dominant, the bullish component (green) shows greater amplitude than the bearish component.
Similarly, when bearish momentum is dominant, the bearish component (red) shows greater amplitude than the bullish component.
During transitional periods, components may show equal strength, indicating momentum equilibrium.
This visualization provides immediate insights into:
→ Competing market forces simultaneously
→ Momentum exhaustion before reversals
→ Quantified momentum strength across different timeframes
2. Real-Time Status Update
The indicator features a comprehensive analysis dashboard that operates with dynamic strength classification:
The dashboard automatically categorizes momentum from "Very Weak" to "Very Strong" based on component amplitude.
Historical comparison displays previous bar metrics for trend analysis, helping traders and investors understand momentum persistence.
Color-coded visualization matches histogram components for immediate recognition of market bias.
Adaptive positioning offers nine customizable table locations for optimal display across different chart layouts.
Regardless of position, the dashboard displays:
Current momentum direction (BULLISH or BEARISH)
Momentum strength percentage (0-100%)
Previous bar comparison for trend persistence
Active component colors for visual consistency
This comprehensive approach helps traders and investors:
→ Assess current momentum strength quantitatively
→ Identify momentum shifts through historical comparison
→ Make informed decisions based on momentum context
3. Reversal Signal Detection System
The indicator generates trading signals using advanced multi-factor validation:
Exhaustion signals are detected when components cross down after exceeding statistical boundaries, indicating potential momentum reversals.
Trend flip alerts are generated when component dominance changes (bull>bear or bear>bull), signaling directional shifts.
Boundary interaction monitoring tracks crossovers above/below impulse threshold for extreme momentum identification.
Visual markers ( X ) are positioned using mathematical placement algorithms for clear signal identification.
The indicator also features a comprehensive alert system with notifications for:
Bullish potential reversals
Bearish potential reversals
Trend flip signals
Momentum boundary crossings
*Alerts can be customized and delivered through TradingView's notification system, making it easy to stay informed of important momentum developments even when away from the charts.
4. Conditional Bar Coloring
The indicator provides optional price bar coloring based on momentum analysis:
Bars are colored based on dominant momentum component (bullish/bearish).
Reversal conditions are highlighted with specialized coloring (default orange).
Color transparency adjusts based on momentum strength for immediate visual feedback.
Bar coloring can be toggled on/off to suit different chart aesthetics and personal preferences.
🟢 Practical Usage Tips
→ Component Analysis and Interpretation: The indicator visualizes momentum direction and strength through separate components, allowing traders to immediately identify dominant market forces. This helps in assessing potential for continuation or reversal.
→ Signal Generation Strategies: The indicator generates potential trading signals based on component crossovers, boundary violations, and momentum exhaustion. Users can focus on reversal signals at statistical extremes or trend-following signals during component dominance.
→ Multi-Component Assessment: Through its bi-directional approach, the indicator enables users to understand competing forces within the same timeframe. This helps in identifying momentum equilibrium and potential turning points.
🟢 Pro Tips
Adjust RSI/CCI ratio based on market conditions:
→ High ratios (70-100) for mean-reverting markets and longer timeframes
→ Low ratios (0-30) for trending markets and shorter timeframes
→ Default 50/50 for balanced momentum assessment across market types
Fine-tune impulse boundary based on volatility:
→ Lower boundary lengths (20-30) for more frequent reversal signals
→ Higher lengths (40-60) for only major momentum extremes
→ Adjust standard deviation multiplier (2.0-4.0) based on market volatility
Look for confluence between components:
→ Component divergence as early reversal warning
→ Simultaneous extreme readings for high-probability setups
→ Component correlation with price for confirmation
Use for multiple trading approaches:
→ Reversal trading at component extremes near impulse boundary
→ Trend following when components show clear dominance
→ Early momentum shift detection with gradient fading patterns
→ Position sizing based on component strength percentage
Combine with:
→ Support/resistance analysis for strategic entry and exit points

Directional Movement Index (DMI) + AlertsThis is a Study with associated visual indicators and Bullish/Bearish Alerts for Directional Movement (DMI). It consists of an Average Directional Index (ADX), Plus Directional Indicator (+DI) and Minus Directional Indicator (-DI).
Published by J. Welles Wilder in 1978 for use with currencies and commodities which are typically more volatile than stocks and have stronger trends.
Development Notes
---------------------------
This indicator, and most of the descriptions below, were derived largely from the TradingView reference manual. Feedback and suggestions for improvement are more than welcome, as well are recommended Input settings and best practices for use.
tradingview.com/chart/?solution=43000502250
Strategy Description
---------------------------
ADX defines whether or not there is a trend present; +DI and -DI compliment the ADX by taking direction into account. An ADX above 25 indicates a strong trend, and a Bullish alert is subsequently triggered when +DI is above -DI and a Bearish alert when -DI is above +DI.
Note that the Bullish or Bearish crossover alert will only trigger if ADX is simultaneously above 25 during the crossover event. If ADX later rises to 25 and +DI is still greater than -DI, or -DI greater than +DI, then a delayed alert will not trigger by design.
Basic Use
---------------------------
Acceptable DMI values are up to the trader's interpretation and may change depending on the financial instrument being examined. Recommend not changing any default values without being first familiar with their purpose and impact on the indicator at large.
Confidence in price action and trend is higher when two or more indicators are in agreement -- therefore we recommend not using this indicator by itself to determine entry or exit trade opportunities.
Recommend also choosing 'Once Per Bar Close' when creating alerts.

ADX Smoothing - the time period to be used in calculating the ADX which has a smoothing component (14 is the Default).
DI Length - the time period to be used in calculating the DI (14 is the Default).
Key Level - any trade with the ADX above the key level is a strong indicator that it is trending (23 to 25 is the suggested setting).
Sensitivity - an incremental variable to test whether the past n candles are in the same bullish or bearish state before triggering a delayed crossover alert (3 is the Default). Filter out some noise and reduces active alerts.
Show ADX Option - two visual styles are provided for user preference, a visible ADX line or a background overlay (green or red when ADX is above the key level, for bullish or bearish, and gray when below).
Color Candles - an option to transpose the bullish and bearish crossovers to the main candle bars. Can be turned off in the Style Tab by deselecting 'Bar Colors'. Dark blue is bullish, dark purple is bearish, and the black inner color is neutral. Note that the outer red and green border will still be distinguished by whether each individual candle is bearish or bullish during the specified timeframe.
Indicator Visuals
---------------------------
Bullish or Bearish plot based on DMI strategy (ADX and +/-DI values).
Visual cues are intended to improve analysis and decrease interpretation time during trading, as well as to aid in understanding the purpose of this study and how its inclusion can benefit a comprehensive trading strategy.
Trend Strength
---------------------------
To analyze trend strength, the focus should be on the ADX line and not the +DI or -DI lines. An ADX reading above 25 indicates a strong trend, while a reading below 20 indicates a weak or non-existent trend. A reading between those two values would be considered indeterminable. Though what is truly a strong trend or a weak trend depends on the financial instrument being examined; historical analysis can assist in determining appropriate values.
Bullish DI Cross
---------------------------
1. ADX must be over 25 (strong trend) (value is determined by the trader)
2. +DI cross above -DI
3. Set Stop Loss at the current day's low (any +DI cross-backs below -DI should be ignored)
4. Set trailing stop if ADX strengthens (i.e., signal rises)
Bearish DI Cross
---------------------------
1. ADX must be over 25 (strong trend) (value is determined by the trader)
2. -DI cross above +DI
3. Set Stop Loss at the current day's high (any -DI cross-backs below +DI should be ignored)
4. Set trailing stop if ADX strengthens (i.e., signal rises)

No known repainting.
Version 1.1
-------------------------
- Added multi-timeframe resolution using PineCoders secure security function to eliminate repainting.
- Cleaned up option for selecting ADX view; and added a colored line as a choice, based on same bullish, bearish, or neutral colors as the background.
- Added exit crossover indicator to aid in an overall strategy development. This ability pairs better with my CHOP Zone Entry Strategy which relies on DMI Exits. Note that exit conditions don't employ the sensitivity variable. Green labels are for Bullish exits and red are for Bearish.
-- Exit condition is triggered if in an active Bullish or Bearish position and ADX drops below 25, Or if either the -DI crosses above +DI (for previously Bullish) or +DI crosses above -DI (for previously Bearish).
- Added reverse position determination. Triggers when a Bullish entry occurs on the same candle as a Bearish exit, or vice versa. Green labels are for Bullish reverses and red are for Bearish.
- Added selectable option to choose visible labels -- Bearish, Bullish, Both, Exits, Reverses, or All.
-- Note that a reverse label will only show if the opposing entry and exit labels are set to show, otherwise the reverse will revert to the appropriate entry or exit on the chart.
- Added alerts to account for new conditions.
-- Note that alerts for crossovers, exits, and reverses will only be triggered if the associated labels are selected to be shown (i.e., what you choose to see on the chart is what you will be alerted to).
Version 1.2
-------------------------
- Changed exit condition to be decided on by whether ADX is below 25 and on a +/-DI crossover. Versus being either or. The previous version had too many false triggers. This variety can now show multiple Bullish or Bearish alerts before an Exit condition too. I'm tempted to simply make this condition based on ADX, and not DI … thoughts? See lines 138 and 139.
- Updated the Background view to have deeper shades of colors dependent upon the ADX trend strength.
- Added an Oscillator view for the ADX and momentum computations to color the histogram by trend. DI lines are hidden.
-- If ADX is Bullish, then the oscillator is colored light green in an uptrend and dark green in a downtrend; if Bearish, then its light red in an uptrend and dark redin a downtrend; if adx is below key level, then it is light gray in a downtrend and dark grey in the uptrend.
- Added option to Hide ADX in case only the Directional lines are desired. This could be useful if you would like to have the ADX oscillator in one panel and +/-DI crossovers in another.
- Added a Columnar view for the ADX. DI lines are hidden. This view is really simple and compact, with the trend strength still easily understood. Colors are the same as for the oscillator -- the deeper the shade of green or red, then the higher the ADX trend strength level.
- Added a Trend Strength label.
ADX Trend Strength Trade (Y/N) Setup Types
0 to 10 = Barely Breathing N N/A
10 to 20 = Weak Trend Y Range/Pre-Breakout
20 to 30 = Potentially Starting to Trend Y Early Stage Trend
30 to 50 = Strong Trend Y Ride the Wave
50 to 75 = Very Strong Trend N Exhaustion
75 to 100 = Extremely Strong Trend N N/A
Version 1.3
-------------------------
Updated to Pine Script v5 to resolve errors from the deprecated v4 version.
This is a reissue of a previously published script that was hidden due to a v4 compatibility issue.

Sector 50MA vs 200MA ComparisonThis TradingView indicator compares the 50-period Moving Average (50MA) and 200-period Moving Average (200MA) of a selected market sector or index, providing a visual and analytical tool to assess relative strength and trend direction. Here's a detailed breakdown of its functionality:
Purpose: The indicator plots the 50MA and 200MA of a chosen sector or index on a separate panel, highlighting their relationship to identify bullish (50MA > 200MA) or bearish (50MA < 200MA) trends. It also includes a histogram and threshold lines to gauge momentum and key levels.
Inputs:
Resolution: Allows users to select the timeframe for calculations (Daily, Weekly, or Monthly; default is Daily).
Sector Selection: Users can choose from a list of sectors or indices, including Tech, Financials, Consumer Discretionary, Utilities, Energy, Communication Services, Materials, Industrials, Health Care, Consumer Staples, Real Estate, S&P 500 Value, S&P 500 Growth, S&P 500, NASDAQ, Russell 2000, and S&P SmallCap 600. Each sector maps to specific ticker pairs for 50MA and 200MA data.
Data Retrieval:
The indicator fetches closing prices for the 50MA and 200MA of the selected sector using the request.security function, based on the chosen timeframe and ticker pairs.
Visual Elements:
Main Chart:
Plots the 50MA (blue line) and 200MA (red line) for the selected sector.
Fills the area between the 50MA and 200MA with green (when 50MA > 200MA, indicating bullishness) or red (when 50MA < 200MA, indicating bearishness).
Threshold Lines:
Horizontal lines at 0 (zero line), 20 (lower threshold), 50 (center), 80 (upper threshold), and 100 (upper limit) provide reference points for the 50MA's position.
Fills between 0-20 (green) and 80-100 (red) highlight key zones for potential overbought or oversold conditions.
Sector Information Table:
A table in the top-right corner displays the selected sector and its corresponding 50MA and 200MA ticker symbols for clarity.
Alerts:
Generates alert conditions for:
Bullish Crossover: When the 50MA crosses above the 200MA (indicating potential upward momentum).
Bearish Crossover: When the 50MA crosses below the 200MA (indicating potential downward momentum).
Use Case:
Traders can use this indicator to monitor the relative strength of a sector's short-term trend (50MA) against its long-term trend (200MA).
The visual fill between the moving averages and the threshold lines helps identify trend direction, momentum, and potential reversal points.
The sector selection feature allows for comparative analysis across different market segments, aiding in sector rotation strategies or market trend analysis.
This indicator is ideal for traders seeking to analyze sector performance, identify trend shifts, and make informed decisions based on moving average crossovers and momentum thresholds.
Time-Based Fair Value Gaps (FVG) with Inversions (iFVG)Overview
The Time-Based Fair Value Gaps (FVG) with Inversions (iFVG) (ICT/SMT) indicator is a specialized tool designed for traders using Inner Circle Trader (ICT) methodologies. Inspired by LuxAlgo's Fair Value Gap indicator, this script introduces significant enhancements by integrating ICT principles, focusing on precise time-based FVG detection, inversion tracking, and retest signals tailored for institutional trading strategies. Unlike LuxAlgo’s general FVG approach, this indicator filters FVGs within customizable 10-minute windows aligned with ICT’s macro timeframes and incorporates ICT-specific concepts like mitigation, liquidity grabs, and session-based gap prioritization.
This tool is optimized for 1–5 minute charts, though probably best for 1 minute charts, identifying bullish and bearish FVGs, tracking their mitigation into inverted FVGs (iFVGs) as key support/resistance zones, and generating retest signals with customizable “Close” or “Wick” confirmation. Features like ATR-based filtering, optional FVG labels, mitigation removal, and session-specific FVG detection (e.g., first FVG in AM/PM sessions) make it a powerful tool for ICT traders.
Originality and Improvements
While inspired by LuxAlgo’s FVG indicator (credit to LuxAlgo for their foundational work), this script significantly extends the original concept by:
1. Time-Based FVG Detection: Unlike LuxAlgo’s continuous FVG identification, this script filters FVGs within user-defined 10-minute windows each hour (:00–:10, :10–:20, etc.), aligning with ICT’s emphasis on specific periods of institutional activity, such as hourly opens/closes or kill zones (e.g., New York 7:00–11:00 AM EST). This ensures FVGs are relevant to high-probability ICT setups.
2. Session-Specific First FVG Option: A unique feature allows traders to display only the first FVG in ICT-defined AM (9:30–10:00 AM EST) or PM (1:30–2:00 PM EST) sessions, reflecting ICT’s focus on initial market imbalances during key liquidity events.
3. ICT-Driven Mitigation and Inversion Logic: The script tracks FVG mitigation (when price closes through a gap) and converts mitigated FVGs into iFVGs, which serve as ICT-style support/resistance zones. This aligns with ICT’s view that mitigated gaps become critical reversal points, unlike LuxAlgo’s simpler gap display.
4. Customizable Retest Signals: Retest signals for iFVGs are configurable for “Close” (conservative, requiring candle body confirmation) or “Wick” (faster, using highs/lows), catering to ICT traders’ need for precise entry timing during liquidity grabs or Judas swings.
5. ATR Filtering and Mitigation Removal: An optional ATR filter ensures only significant FVGs are displayed, reducing noise, while mitigation removal declutters the chart by removing filled gaps, aligning with ICT’s principle that mitigated gaps lose relevance unless inverted.
6. Timezone and Timeframe Safeguards: A timezone offset setting aligns FVG detection with EST for ICT’s New York-centric strategies, and a timeframe warning alerts users to avoid ≥1-hour charts, ensuring accuracy in time-based filtering.
These enhancements make the script a distinct tool that builds on LuxAlgo’s foundation while offering ICT traders a tailored, high-precision solution.
How It Works
FVG Detection
FVGs are identified when a candle’s low is higher than the high of two candles prior (bullish FVG) or a candle’s high is lower than the low of two candles prior (bearish FVG). Detection is restricted to:
• User-selected 10-minute windows (e.g., :00–:10, :50–:60) to capture ICT-relevant periods like hourly transitions.
• AM/PM session first FVGs (if enabled), focusing on 9:30–10:00 AM or 1:30–2:00 PM EST for key market opens.
An optional ATR filter (default: 0.25× ATR) ensures only gaps larger than the threshold are displayed, prioritizing significant imbalances.
Mitigation and Inversion
When price closes through an FVG (e.g., below a bullish FVG’s bottom), the FVG is mitigated and becomes an iFVG, plotted as a support/resistance zone. iFVGs are critical in ICT for identifying reversal points where institutional orders accumulate.
Retest Signals
The script generates signals when price retests an iFVG:
• Close: Triggers when the candle body confirms the retest (conservative, lower noise).
• Wick: Triggers when the candle’s high/low touches the iFVG (faster, higher sensitivity). Signals are visualized with triangular markers (▲ for bullish, ▼ for bearish) and can trigger alerts.
Visualization
• FVGs: Displayed as colored boxes (green for bullish, red for bearish) with optional “Bull FVG”/“Bear FVG” labels.
• iFVGs: Shown as extended boxes with dashed midlines, limited to the user-defined number of recent zones (default: 5).
• Mitigation Removal: Mitigated FVGs/iFVGs are removed (if enabled) to keep the chart clean.
How to Use
Recommended Settings
• Timeframe: Use 1–5 minute charts for precision, avoiding ≥1-hour timeframes (a warning label appears if misconfigured).
• Time Windows: Enable :00–:10 and :50–:60 for hourly open/close FVGs, or use the “Show only 1st presented FVG” option for AM/PM session focus.
• ATR Filter: Keep enabled (multiplier 0.25–0.5) for significant gaps; disable on 1-minute charts for more FVGs during volatility.
• Signal Preference: Use “Close” for conservative entries, “Wick” for aggressive setups.
• Timezone Offset: Set to -5 for EST (or -4 for EDT) to align with ICT’s New York session.
Trading Strategy
1. Macro Timeframes: Focus on New York (7:00–11:00 AM EST) or London (2:00–5:00 AM EST) kill zones for high institutional activity.
2. FVG Entries: Trade bullish FVGs as support in uptrends or bearish FVGs as resistance in downtrends, especially in :00–:10 or :50–:60 windows.
3. iFVG Retests: Enter on retest signals (▲/▼) during liquidity grabs or Judas swings, using “Close” for confirmation or “Wick” for speed.
4. Session FVGs: Use the “Show only 1st presented FVG” option to target the first gap in AM/PM sessions, often tied to ICT’s market maker algorithms.
5. Risk Management: Combine with ICT concepts like order blocks or breaker blocks for confluence, and set stops beyond FVG/iFVG boundaries.
Alerts
Set alerts for:
• “Bullish FVG Detected”/“Bearish FVG Detected”: New FVGs in selected windows.
• “Bullish Signal”/“Bearish Signal”: iFVG retest confirmations.
Settings Description
• Show Last (1–100, default: 5): Number of recent iFVGs to display. Lower values reduce clutter.
• Show only 1st presented FVG : Limits FVGs to the first in 9:30–10:00 AM or 1:30–2:00 PM EST sessions (overrides time window checkboxes).
• Time Window Checkboxes: Enable/disable FVG detection in 10-minute windows (:00–:10, :10–:20, etc.). All enabled by default.
• Signal Preference: “Close” (default) or “Wick” for iFVG retest signals.
• Use ATR Filter: Enables ATR-based size filtering (default: true).
• ATR Multiplier (0–∞, default: 0.25): Sets FVG size threshold (higher values = larger gaps).
• Remove Mitigated FVGs: Removes filled FVGs/iFVGs (default: true).
• Show FVG Labels: Displays “Bull FVG”/“Bear FVG” labels (default: true).
• Timezone Offset (-12 to 12, default: -5): Aligns time windows with EST.
• Colors: Customize bullish (green), bearish (red), and midline (gray) colors.
Why Use This Indicator?
This indicator empowers ICT traders with a tool that goes beyond generic FVG detection, offering precise, time-filtered gaps and inversion tracking aligned with institutional trading principles. By focusing on ICT’s macro timeframes, session-specific imbalances, and customizable signal logic, it provides a clear edge for scalping, swing trading, or reversal setups in high-liquidity markets.
LDO Virgin Levels from Candle Patterns (Multi-Timeframe)User Guide: LDO Virgin Levels from Candle Patterns (Multi-Timeframe)
Overview
The "LDO Virgin Levels from Candle Patterns (Multi-Timeframe)" script is a TradingView indicator that identifies and plots "virgin levels" across multiple timeframes (15-minute, 4-hour, daily, weekly, and monthly). Virgin levels are price levels drawn at key reversal points based on candlestick patterns—specifically, the high or low of a candle preceding a bullish-to-bearish or bearish-to-bullish transition. These levels remain active ("virgin") until the price crosses them, at which point they are removed, and an alert can be triggered.
Key Features
Multi-Timeframe Support: Plots virgin levels on 15-minute, 4-hour, daily, weekly, and monthly timeframes.
Customizable Display: Enable/disable specific timeframes and customize line colors and width.
Alerts: Triggers alerts when the price crosses a virgin level on any enabled timeframe.
Version Tracking: Displays the script version on the chart for easy reference (current version: 1.1.0).
How It Works
Level Detection:
On each timeframe, the script detects candlestick pattern reversals:
Bullish-to-bearish: A bullish candle (close > open) followed by a bearish candle (close < open). A level is drawn at the high of the previous (bullish) candle.
Bearish-to-bullish: A bearish candle followed by a bullish candle. A level is drawn at the low of the previous (bearish) candle.
Levels are drawn as horizontal lines extending to the right, with a label showing the price.
Virgin Status:
A level remains "virgin" until the price closes across it on a new bar for that timeframe (e.g., a new 15-minute bar for 15m levels).
Once crossed, the level is removed from the chart.
Alerting:
When a virgin level is crossed, an alert is triggered for the corresponding timeframe (if enabled).
Setup Instructions
Add the Script to TradingView:
Open TradingView and go to the Pine Editor (bottom panel).
Copy and paste the script code into the editor.
Click "Add to Chart" to apply it to your active chart.
Configure Settings:
Timeframe Selection:
Toggle which timeframes to display levels for (default: all enabled):
Show Daily Levels
Show 4H Levels
Show 15M Levels
Show Weekly Levels
Show Monthly Levels
Disabling a timeframe clears its levels from the chart.
Line Settings:
Adjust the line width (default: 1).
Customize colors for each timeframe (default colors):
Daily: White
4H: Yellow
15M: Green
Weekly: Blue
Monthly: Red
Max Lines: Set the maximum number of lines to draw (default: 500, TradingView’s limit).
Verify Version:
The script version (e.g., "Version: 1.1.0") is displayed at the top of the chart for reference.
Using the Alerting Feature
The script includes the ability to set alerts when virgin levels are crossed, with separate alerts for each timeframe. Here’s how to set them up:
Enable Desired Timeframes:
Ensure the timeframe(s) you want alerts for are enabled in the settings (e.g., "Show 15M Levels").
Create an Alert:
Right-click on the chart and select "Create Alert" (or use the bell icon in TradingView).
In the alert dialog:
Condition: Select the script ("LDO Virgin Levels from Candle Patterns (Multi-Timeframe)").
Condition Dropdown: Choose the specific alert condition for the timeframe you want to monitor:
"15m Virgin Line Crossed"
"4h Virgin Line Crossed"
"Daily Virgin Line Crossed"
"Weekly Virgin Line Crossed"
"Monthly Virgin Line Crossed"
Message: The default message (e.g., "A virgin line on the 15m timeframe has been crossed.") will be sent, but you can customize it if needed.
Notifications: Choose your preferred notification method (e.g., email, SMS, popup, webhook).
Frequency: Set to "Once Per Bar Close" to avoid multiple triggers within the same bar.
Click "Create" to activate the alert.
Repeat for Other Timeframes:
You can create separate alerts for each timeframe by repeating the process and selecting the appropriate condition.
Behavior:
Alerts trigger when the price closes across a virgin level on a new bar for that timeframe (e.g., a new 15-minute bar for 15m levels).
If multiple levels are crossed on the same bar, only one alert per timeframe will fire.
Example Use Case
Scenario: You’re trading SUIUSDT on a 15-minute chart and want alerts for 15-minute and 4-hour virgin level crossings.
Setup:
Enable "Show 15M Levels" and "Show 4H Levels" in the script settings.
Create two alerts:
One with the condition "15m Virgin Line Crossed".
Another with the condition "4h Virgin Line Crossed".
Configure notifications (e.g., email or popup).
Result: When the price crosses a 15m virgin level (e.g., at 3.3901 USD), you’ll receive an alert. Similarly, a 4h level crossing will trigger its own alert.
Notes
Chart Timeframe: The script works on any chart timeframe because it uses request.security to fetch data for higher timeframes (e.g., 15m levels will work even on a 1m chart).
Line Limit: The script caps at 500 lines total (TradingView’s limit). Older levels may be overwritten if this limit is reached.
Version Updates: Check the version number on the chart and the changelog in the script comments for updates.
Troubleshooting
No Levels Visible: Ensure the desired timeframes are enabled and that price action has triggered reversal patterns.
Alerts Not Firing: Verify that alerts are set to "Once Per Bar Close" and that the timeframe is enabled in the script settings.
Too Many Lines: Adjust the "Max number of lines to draw" setting if levels are being overwritten.
This script provides a powerful tool for traders to identify key reversal levels across multiple timeframes, with the added benefit of customizable alerts to stay informed of significant price movements.
MTF Analysis Panel [Invesmate]MTF Analysis Panel
This indicator provides a compact Multi-Timeframe (MTF) view of trend and momentum conditions directly on the chart. It combines EMA trend checks, RSI momentum checks, and optional Relative Strength analysis to offer an intuitive overview of market structure across intraday, daily, weekly, and monthly timeframes.
Trend and Momentum Analysis
The script uses two primary methods for assessing the market:
Trend Detection: Based on price relation to a user-selected EMA for each timeframe.
Momentum Detection: Based on whether RSI is above or below 50 for each timeframe.
Users can independently toggle these modules through inputs to customize the panel for different analysis needs.
Trend and momentum are calculated separately to avoid bias, helping traders capture the real state of the market across multiple timeframes.
Relative Strength (Optional)
If enabled, when either Weekly or Monthly timeframes are selected, the panel will display Relative Strength (RS ) data.
RS measures the stock's performance relative to a benchmark symbol (like NSE:NIFTY).
This value shows the percent outperformance or underperformance over a user-defined period (default 55 days), allowing deeper market strength analysis.
Table and Display Logic
The indicator draws a neat panel on the chart using TradingView’s table functionality.
Each selected timeframe (15m, 1h, 4h, 1D, 1W, 1M) will display:
Trend (EMA): Green for bullish trend (Price > EMA), Red for bearish trend (Price < EMA), Gray if neutral or not applicable.
Momentum (RSI): Green if RSI > 50, Red if RSI < 50, Gray if neutral.
Symbols for trend and momentum can be customized between:
Emoji mode (e.g., 🟢, 🔴, 🟦, 🟥)
Text mode (e.g., UP, DOWN, NEUTRAL)
The panel is customizable for position (Top Left, Top Right, Bottom Left, Bottom Right) to fit user preference.
Color Codes
Strong Bullish: All selected timeframes are trending up and momentum is rising — shown with a light green background.
Strong Bearish: All selected timeframes are trending down and momentum is falling — shown with a light red background.
Mixed: Any mixed state (some up, some down) — shown with a neutral gray background.
This helps traders instantly recognize overall market sentiment without manually checking individual timeframes.
Summary Labels
At the bottom of the panel, two powerful summaries are displayed:
Trend Summary: Overall trend aggregation across selected timeframes ("STRONG BULLISH", "STRONG BEARISH", or "MIXED").
Momentum Summary: Overall momentum aggregation ("MOMENTUM UP", "MOMENTUM DOWN", or "MOMENTUM MIXED").
When Relative Strength is available (Weekly or Monthly enabled), it is also shown separately at the bottom, providing a complete strength-versus-benchmark view.
Input Controls
Enable EMA Trend Check: Toggle EMA-based trend detection.
Enable RSI Momentum Check: Toggle RSI-based momentum detection.
Timeframes to Display: 15m, 1h, 4h, 1D, 1W, 1M can be independently turned on or off.
EMA Length per Timeframe: Customize EMA lengths for different timeframes.
RSI Length: Set RSI calculation period.
Comparative Symbol: Select the benchmark symbol for Relative Strength calculations.
RS Period: Choose the lookback period for Relative Strength.
Emoji Display Toggle: Switch between emoji-based or text-based display styles.
Table Location: Choose where the analysis panel appears on the chart.
Special Features
Realtime Updating: The panel updates dynamically as bars close, maintaining real-time relevance.
Maximum Label Control : Designed to respect TradingView's maximum label limits to avoid runtime errors.
Optimized for Performance: Uses conditional requests and security calls efficiently, minimizing script execution load.
Known Limitations
Request.security limitations: Relative Strength is only calculated on Daily data for stability; lower timeframe RS is not implemented.
TradingView Table Size: On some screen sizes or with many timeframes selected, table may overlap candles. Adjust panel location accordingly.
RSI with HMA & Momentum ZonesRSI with HMA & Momentum Zones — Indicator Description
This indicator combines Relative Strength Index (RSI) analysis with Hull Moving Averages (HMA) and Momentum Zone detection to provide a multi-layered view of market strength, trend shifts, and divergence signals.
It includes:
Main Features:
RSI Core:
Standard RSI calculated from a customizable source (close, open, etc.) with adjustable length.
A dynamic RSI Signal Line is plotted with selectable smoothing types (SMA, EMA, SMMA, WMA, VWMA) to enhance trend-following signals.
RSI crossovers of its signal line change color (green for bullish crossovers, red for bearish crossunders).
Hull Moving Averages (HMA):
Two HMA lines are plotted based on the RSI:
Short HMA (fast) and Long HMA (slow).
Color shifts indicate crossovers between RSI and Short HMA (short-term trend change) and Short HMA vs Long HMA (longer-term trend shifts).
Momentum Zones:
When the gap between the RSI and the Long HMA exceeds a user-defined threshold:
A green background highlights strong bullish momentum.
A red background highlights strong bearish momentum.
Helps visualize when momentum becomes extended.
Divergence Detection (Optional):
Regular and hidden bullish and bearish divergences are automatically detected between price and RSI.
Divergences are plotted on the RSI pane with labels ("Bull", "H Bull", "Bear", "H Bear").
Adjustable lookback settings for fine-tuning sensitivity.
Alerts are available for all divergence events.
Visual Enhancements:
A shaded cloud fills between RSI and its signal line, green for bullish bias and red for bearish bias.
Horizontal bands at 70, 50, and 30 levels to mark traditional RSI zones (overbought, neutral, oversold).
Customization Options:
All major components — RSI settings, Signal Line type, HMA lengths, Momentum Zone threshold, and Divergence controls — are fully adjustable.

__________________________________________________________________________________
The Triad Macro Gauge (TMG) is designed to provide traders with a comprehensive view of the macroeconomic environment impacting financial markets. By synthesizing three critical market signals— VIX (volatility) , Credit Spreads (credit risk) , and the Stocks/Bonds Ratio (SPY/TLT) —this indicator offers a probabilistic assessment of market sentiment, helping traders identify bullish or bearish macro conditions.
Holistic Macro Analysis: Combines three distinct macroeconomic indicators for multi-dimensional insights.
Customization & Flexibility: Adjust weights, thresholds, lookback periods, and visualization styles.
Visual Clarity: Dynamic table, color-coded plots, and anomaly markers for quick interpretation.
Fully Consistent Scores: Identical values across all timeframes (4H, daily, weekly).
Actionable Signals: Clear bull/bear thresholds and volatility spike detection.
Optimized for timeframes ranging from 4 hour to 1 week , the TMG equips swing traders and long-term investors with a robust tool to navigate macroeconomic trends.

Key Indicators
__________________________________________________________________________________
VIX (CBOE:VIX): Measures market volatility (negatively weighted for bearish signals).
Credit Spreads (FRED:BAMLH0A0HYM2EY): Tracks high-yield bond spreads (negatively weighted).
Stocks/Bonds Ratio (SPY/TLT): Evaluates equity sentiment relative to treasuries (positively weighted).

Originality and Purpose
__________________________________________________________________________________
The TMG stands out by combining VIX, Credit Spreads, and SPY/TLT into a single, cohesive indicator. Its unique strength lies in its fully consistent scores across all timeframes, a critical feature for multi-timeframe analysis.
Purpose: To empower traders with a clear, actionable tool to:
Assess macro conditions
Spot market extremes
Anticipate reversals

How It Works
__________________________________________________________________________________
VIX Z-Score: Measures volatility deviations (inverted for bearish signals).
Credit Z-Score: Tracks credit spread deviations (inverted for bearish signals).
Ratio Z-Score: Assesses SPY/TLT strength (positively weighted for bullish signals).
TMG Score: Weighted composite of z-scores (bullish > +0.30, bearish < -0.30).
Anomaly Detection: Identifies extreme volatility spikes (z-score > 3.0).
All calculations are performed using daily data, ensuring that scores remain consistent across all chart timeframes.

Visualization & Interpretation
__________________________________________________________________________________
The script visualizes data through:
A dynamic table displaying TMG Score , VIX Z, Credit Z, Ratio Z, and Anomaly status, with color gradients (green for positive, red for negative, gray for neutral/N/A).
A plotted TMG Score in Area, Histogram, or Line mode , with adaptive opacity for clarity.
Bull/Bear thresholds as horizontal lines (+0.30/-0.30) to signal market conditions.
Anomaly markers (orange circles) for volatility spikes.
Crossover signals (triangles) for bull/bear threshold crossings.
The table provides an immediate snapshot of macro conditions, while the plot offers a visual trend analysis. All values are consistent across timeframes, simplifying multi-timeframe analysis.
