Buyers vs SellersBuyers vs Sellers is an indicator which essentially weighs the strength of the buyers against the strength of the sellers. It defines the current relationship between the buyers and the sellers as well as the way that that relationship is changing over time.
User Inputs:
1. Number of Bars To Include In The Calculation - this is the look back period. The amount of past data that is being processed.
2. Length of The ATR - higher values are recommended. This ATR is used as a unit in which the price changes are expressed.
3. Bullish/Bearish Bias Threshold - the minimum value to consider the buyers or the sellers having control of the price.
4. Net Move Average Length - the moving average of the sum of bullish and bearish price changes.
The Calculation Process:
This indicator measures the difference between the opening and the closing prices of each bar in the look back period.
After that it sums together the sizes of the bodies of all the bullish bars and also the sizes of all the bearish bars to create the total bullish price change and total bearish price change for the look back period.
After that it converts the total price changes into percentages of the ATR and divides them by the look back period to get the price change per bar - it is a way of getting the price change values down to less ridiculous numbers regardless of the look back period and while still keeping the proportions intact.
After that it sums the two price changes together to get the net move and performs a simple moving average calculation on it in order to smooth out the values. This is a numerical representation of the relationship between the strength of the bullish and the bearish moves, which is easily readable from the chart.
After that the indicator performs a natural logarithm of the bullish price change divided by the bearish price change. This calculation gives a relationship between the two values which is not tied to the volatility of the instrument, but is expressed purely as a relationship between the strength of one value against the other. The idea is that this would allow for easier comparison across different instruments as the same numbers would represent exactly the same distribution of the strength difference.
The Plotting Logic:
The ATR is plotted as just a number as a reference.
The natural logarithm is presented in two ways.
One way is numerical, to be able to precisely read the value and the colour of the number changes depending if it is positive and above the bias threshold or negative and below the bias threshold.
The other way is in the form of a background colour. It only visualises the bias that can be interpreted based on the logarithm value in relation to the set bias threshold.
The total bullish price change and the total bearish price change are both plotted as a line with the fill between that line and the zero line. This helps visualise the bullish and the bearish moves individually.
The moving average of the sum of the bullish and the bearish moves is added as a line to represent the relationship between the two on a graph and not just as a logarithm.
I hope this indicator will serve you well and help with defining the relationship between the buyers and sellers more objectively, hopefully leading to more profitable trades.

Correlated Imbalance Detector# Correlated Imbalance Detector
This indicator helps traders identify strong market movements while avoiding fakeouts by detecting correlated imbalances across two trading instruments. By requiring confirmation from correlated markets like major indices (ES, NQ) or related forex pairs, it filters out potential false signals.
## What it Does
The indicator analyzes price action patterns known as 'imbalances' on two correlated instruments simultaneously. An imbalance occurs when there's a significant gap between price levels that hasn't been filled, indicating strong buying or selling pressure. By requiring both instruments to show the same pattern, it helps eliminate false breakouts and fakeouts.
### Key Features:
- Detects bullish and bearish imbalances across two correlated instruments
- Filters out fakeouts through correlation confirmation
- Uses candlestick direction for additional validation
- Simple visual signals with customizable colors
### Signals:
- Green square: Bullish imbalance detected on both instruments
- Red square: Bearish imbalance detected on both instruments
## Avoiding Fakeouts
The indicator's core strength lies in its correlation requirement:
- A signal only appears when both instruments show the same pattern
- Reduces false signals that might appear on a single instrument
- Helps validate genuine market moves through correlation
- Particularly effective in filtering out noise in choppy markets
## Index Correlation and Bias
Major indices often show strong correlation in their movements:
- ES (S&P 500 futures) and NQ (Nasdaq futures) typically move together
- When both show the same imbalance pattern, it significantly reduces the chance of a fakeout
- Use this correlation to confirm your market bias and strengthen your trading decisions
## Settings
- Correlated Symbol: Enter the symbol you want to correlate with
- Bearish Color: Customize the color for bearish signals
- Bullish Color: Customize the color for bullish signals
## Usage Tips
1. Particularly effective with correlated indices (ES/NQ)
2. Use to confirm your existing market bias
3. Best used on higher timeframes (H1 and above)
4. Wait for confirmation from both instruments to avoid fakeouts
5. Consider overall market context when interpreting signals
6. Use the absence of correlation as a warning sign for potential fakeouts
Note: This indicator is designed to help filter out false signals through correlation. It works best as part of your broader market analysis and should align with your trading bias and strategy.
Weis Wave Max█ Overview
Weis Wave Max is the result of my weis wave study.
David Weis said,
"Trading with the Weis Wave involves changes in behavior associated with springs, upthrusts, tests of breakouts/breakdowns, and effort vs reward. The most common setup is the low-volume pullback after a bullish/bearish change in behavior."
THE STOCK MARKET UPDATE (February 24, 2013)
I inspired from his sentences and made this script.
Its Main feature is to identify the largest wave in Weis wave and advantageous trading opportunities.
█ Features
This indicator includes several features related to the Weis Wave Method.
They help you analyze which is more bullish or bearish.
Highlight Max Wave Value (single direction)
Highlight Abnormal Max Wave Value (both directions)
Support and Resistance zone
Signals and Setups
█ Usage
Weis wave indicator displays cumulative volume for each wave.
Wave volume is effective when analyzing volume from VSA (Volume Spread Analysis) perspective.
The basic idea of Weis wave is large wave volume hint trend direction. This helps identify proper entry point.
This indicator highlights max wave volume and displays the signal and then proper Risk Reward Ratio entry frame.
I defined Change in Behavior as max wave volume (single direction).
Pullback is next wave that does not exceed the starting point of CiB wave (LH sell entry, HL buy entry).
Change in Behavior Signal ○ appears when pullback is determined.
Change in Behavior Setup (Entry frame) appears when condition of Min/Max Pullback is met and follow through wave breaks end point of CiB wave.
This indicator has many other features and they can also help a user identify potential levels of trade entry and which is more bullish or bearish.
In the screenshot below we can see wave volume zones as support and resistance levels. SOT and large wave volume /delta price (yellow colored wave text frame) hint stopping action.

It's not the holy grail, but improve your chart reading skills and help you trade rationally (at least from VSA perspective).
FVG Instantaneous Mitigation Signals [LuxAlgo]The FVG Instantaneous Mitigation Signals indicator detects and highlights "instantaneously" mitigated fair value gaps (FVG), that is FVGs that get mitigated one bar after their creation, returning signals upon mitigation.
Take profit/stop loss areas, as well as a trailing stop loss are also included to complement the signals.
🔶 USAGE
Instantaneous Fair Value Gap mitigation is a new concept introduced in this script and refers to the event of price mitigating a fair value gap one bar after its creation.
The resulting signal sentiment is opposite to the bias of the mitigated fair value gap. As such an instantaneously mitigated bearish FGV results in a bullish signal, while an instantaneously mitigated bullish FGV results in a bearish signal.
Fair value gap areas subject to instantaneous mitigation are highlighted alongside their average level, this level is extended until reached in a direction opposite to the FVG bias and can be used as a potential support/resistance level.
Users can filter out less volatile fair value gaps using the "FVG Width Filter" setting, with higher values highlighting more volatile fair value gaps subject to instantaneous mitigation.
🔹 TP/SL Areas
Users can enable take-profit/stop-loss areas. These are displayed upon a new signal formation, with an area starting from the mitigated FVG area average to this average plus/minus N ATRs, where N is determined by their respective multiplier settings.
Using a higher multiplier will return more distant areas from the price, requiring longer-term variations to be reached.
🔹 Trailing Stop Loss
A trailing-stop loss is included, increasing when the price makes a new higher high or lower low since the trailing has been set. Using a higher trailing stop multiplier will allow its initial position to be further away from the price, reducing its chances of being hit.
The trailing stop can be reset on "Every Signal", whether they are bullish or bearish, or only on an "Inverse Signal", which will reset the trailing when a signal of opposite bias is detected, this will preserve an existing trailing stop when a new signal of the same bias to the present one is detected.
🔶 DETAILS
Fair Value Gaps are ubiquitous to price action traders. These patterns arise when there exists a disparity between supply and demand. The action of price coming back and filling these imbalance areas is referred to as "mitigation" or "rebalancing".
"Instantaneous mitigation" refers to the event of price quickly mitigating a prior fair value gap, which in the case of this script is one bar after their creation. These events are indicative of a market more attentive to imbalances, and more willing to correct disparities in supply and demand.
If the market is particularly sensitive to imbalances correction then these can be excessively corrected, leading to further imbalances, highlighting a potential feedback process.
🔶 SETTINGS
FVG Width Filter: Filter out FVGs with thinner areas from returning a potential signal.
🔹 TP/SL
TP Area: Enable take-profit areas for new signals.
Multiplier: Control the distance from the take profit and the price, with higher values returning more distant TP's.
SL Area: Enable stop-loss areas for new signals.
Multiplier: Control the distance from the stop loss and the price, with higher values returning more distant SL's.
🔹 Trailing Stop
Reset Trailing Stop: Determines when the trailing stop is reset.
Multiplier: Controls the initial position of the trailing stop, with higher values returning more distant trailing stops.
KumoTrade Ichimoku StrategyThe KumoTrade Ichimoku Strategy is an advanced trading strategy designed to help users identify market trends and potential trading opportunities using the Ichimoku Kinko Hyo technical analysis indicator. This strategy leverages the Ichimoku cloud (Kumo) along with other crucial indicators such as the Tenkan-sen and Kijun-sen lines to generate strong signals.
Main Components of the Strategy:
Tenkan-sen (Conversion Line): Indicates the short-term direction of the price, typically calculated as the average of the highest high and the lowest low over the past 9 periods.
Kijun-sen (Base Line): Indicates the medium-term direction of the price, usually calculated as the average of the highest high and the lowest low over the past 26 periods.
Senkou Span A and Senkou Span B: These two lines form the cloud (Kumo), which projects future support and resistance levels.
Chikou Span (Lagging Span): Plots the current closing price 26 periods back to measure the market's momentum.
Strategy Rules:
Bullish Bias (Bias Bull): Indicates that the prices are in a long-term uptrend. In this strategy, this is confirmed if the low prices are above the daily EMA (Exponential Moving Average).
Kijun Sen Touch Down: Occurs when prices cross below the Kijun-sen line and then close back above it, indicating a potential bullish reversal.
Tenkan-Kijun Cross Up: A bullish signal generated when the Tenkan-sen line crosses above the Kijun-sen line.
Close Over Tenkan and Kijun: A strong bullish signal when the close price crosses above both the Tenkan-sen and Kijun-sen lines.
Trading Setups:
Long Setup: Generated when the Kijun-sen is above the highest point of the Kumo (senkou_max) and the closing price is below the lowest point of the Kumo (senkou_min). This setup is checked over the last 21 bars.
Short Setup: Generated when the Kijun-sen is below the lowest point of the Kumo (senkou_min) and the closing price is above the highest point of the Kumo (senkou_max). This setup is also checked over the last 21 bars. (Not avalible yet)
Entry Conditions:
Ultra Long Entry: This condition checks for a bullish bias, the Tenkan-Kijun cross up or Kijun Sen touch down, high volume, and that the price is not within the Kumo cloud.
Main Long Entry: This condition requires the closing price to be above the Kumo cloud, a green Kumo cloud, a bullish bias, the Tenkan rule, and that the price is not within the Kumo cloud.
Exit Conditions:
A trailing stop loss is implemented to protect profits. The stop loss level is dynamically updated based on the highest high of the last 5 bars minus three times the ATR (Average True Range) value.
Visuals on the Chart:
The Tenkan-sen and Kijun-sen lines are plotted for visual reference.
The Kumo cloud is displayed with different colors indicating bullish (green) or bearish (red) conditions.
Entry points are marked on the chart, and the trailing stop loss levels are plotted as well.
The KumoTrade Ichimoku Strategy aims to provide a comprehensive approach to trading by combining multiple aspects of the Ichimoku indicator to generate reliable trading signals and manage risk effectively.
Squeeze Momentum DeluxeThe Squeeze Momentum Deluxe is a comprehensive trading toolkit built with features of momentum, volatility, and price action. This script offers a suite for both mean reversion and trend-following analysis. Developed based on the original TTM Squeeze implementation by @LazyBear, this indicator introduces several innovative components to enhance your trading insights.
🔲 Components and Features
Momentum Oscillator - as rooted in the TTM Squeeze, quantifies the relationship between price and its extremes over a defined period. By normalizing the calculation, the values become comparable throughout time and across securities, allowing for a nuanced assessment of Bullish and Bearish momentum. Furthermore, by presenting it as a ribbon with a signal line we gain additional information about the direction of price swings.
Squeeze Bars - The original squeeze concept is based on the relationship between the Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channel , once the BB resides inside the KC a squeeze occurs. By understanding their fundamentals a new form of calculation can be inferred.
method bb(float src, simple int len, simple float mult) => method kc(float src, simple int len, simple float mult) =>
float basis = ta.sma (src, len) float basis = ta.sma (src, len)
float dev = ta.stdev(src, len) float rng = ta.atr ( len)
float upper = basis + dev * mult float upper = basis + rng * mult
float lower = basis - dev * mult float lower = basis - rng * mult
Both BB and KC are constructed upon a moving average with the addition of Standard Deviation and Average True Range respectively. Therefore, the calculation can be transformed to when the Stdev is lower than the ATR a squeeze occurs.
method sqz(float src, simple int len) =>
float dev = ta.stdev(src, len)
float atr = ta.atr ( len)
dev < atr ? true : false
This indicator uses three different thresholds for the ATR to gain three levels of price "Squeeze" for further analysis.
Directional Flux- This component measures the overall direction of price volatility, offering insights into trend sentiment. Presented as waves in the background, it includes an OverFlux feature to signal extreme market bias in a particular direction which can signal either exhaustion or vital continuation. Additionally, the user can choose if to base the calculation on Heikin-Ashi Candles to bias the tool toward trend assessment.
Confluence Gauges - Placed at the top and bottom of the indicator, these gauges measure confluence in the relationship between the Momentum Oscillator and Directional Flux. They provide traders with an easily interpretable visual aid for detecting market sentiment. Reversal doritos displayed alongside them contribute to mean reversion analysis.
Divergences (Real-Time) - Equipped with a custom algorithm, the indicator detects real-time divergences between price and the oscillator. This dynamic feature enhances your ability to spot potential trend reversals as they occur.
🔲 Settings
Directional Flux Length - Adjusts the period of which the background volatility waves operate on.
Trend Bias - Bases the calculation of the Flux to HA candles to bias its behavior toward the trend of price action.
Squeeze Momentum Length - Calibrates the length of the main oscillator ribbon as well as the period for the squeeze algorithm.
Signal - Controls the width of the ribbon. Lower values result in faster responsiveness at the cost of premature positives.
Divergence Sensitivity - Adjusts a threshold to limit the amount of divergences detected based on strength. Higher values result in less detections, stronger structure.

Anchored Chandelier ExitThe Chandelier Exit is a popular tool among traders used to help determine appropriate stop loss levels. Originally developed by Chuck LeBeau, the Chandelier Exit takes into account market volatility and adjusts the stop loss level dynamically. This indicator builds upon the original Chandelier Exit by allowing the trader to select an anchor date or starting point for the indicator to begin calculating from.
The Original Chandelier Exit
Before we get into the details of the Anchored Chandelier Exit, let's review the original. Essentially a dynamic ATR stop loss, the Chandelier Exit provides a trailing stop that moves higher or lower based on volatility.
The Chandelier Exit is calculated based on the following criteria:
🔶ATR - The ATR is used to measure the volatility of a security over a lookback period. The ATR length determines the number of bars to consider when calculating the average true range. The shorter the length, the more responsive the level will be.
🔶ATR Multiplier - The default multiplier is set to 3. This is used to determine the sensitivity of the Chandelier Exit. The higher the ATR multiplier the wider the stop levels will be. A lower multiplier will tighten stop levels.
🔶Highest / Lowest Points - Determine the highest high (bullish trade) or lowest low (bearish trade) during the lookback period. The default length is 22 bars.
Calculating the Chandelier Exit
Bullish trades - Highest High - ATR * Multiplier
Bearish trades - Lowest Low + ATR * Multiplier
The Anchored Chandelier Exit
The Anchored Chandelier Exit is a new twist on the original, allowing traders to adapt their stop loss levels based on specific market events, levels or bars.
Similar to the original, traders can select the ATR length and multiplier, however, the high or low from which the ATR is subtracted or added is first determined at the anchor bar.
As new bars form, the indicator checks for the previous high/low to be breached. If the high or low is exceeded, the highest/lowest point is updated and the Chandelier Exit is recalculated.
When the indicator is first loaded to your chart, it will ask you to select an anchor bar and choose the bias for the trade.
A bullish (long) bias trade will plot the Chandelier Exit below price action, while a bearish (short) bias trade will plot the Chandelier Exit above price action.
Indicator Features
🔶Custom Start Date
🔶Bullish or Bearish Bias
🔶Selectable ATR Length & Multiplier
🔶Custom Colors
🔶Exit With Close or Wicks
🔶Exit Alerts
With careful parameter optimization, the Anchored Chandelier Exit can be a useful tool for helping traders manage risk based on market volatility.
Market Structure & Liquidity: CHoCHs+Nested Pivots+FVGs+Sweeps//Purpose:
This indicator combines several tools to help traders track and interpret price action/market structure; It can be divided into 4 parts;
1. CHoCHs, 2. Nested Pivot highs & lows, 3. Grade sweeps, 4. FVGs.
This gives the trader a toolkit for determining market structure and shifts in market structure to help determine a bull or bear bias, whether it be short-term, med-term or long-term.
This indicator also helps traders in determining liquidity targets: wether they be voids/gaps (FVGS) or old highs/lows+ typical sweep distances.
Finally, the incorporation of HTF CHoCH levels printing on your LTF chart helps keep the bigger picture in mind and tells traders at a glance if they're above of below Custom HTF CHoCH up or CHoCH down (these HTF CHoCHs can be anything from Hourly up to Monthly).
//Nomenclature:
CHoCH = Change of Character
STH/STL = short-term high or low
MTH/MTL = medium-term high or low
LTH/LTL = long-term high or low
FVG = Fair value gap
CE = consequent encroachement (the midline of a FVG)
~~~ The Four components of this indicator ~~~
1. CHoCHs:
•Best demonstrated in the below charts. This was a method taught to me by @Icecold_crypto. Once a 3 bar fractal pivot gets broken, we count backwards the consecutive higher lows or lower highs, then identify the CHoCH as the opposite end of the candle which ended the consecutive backwards count. This CHoCH (UP or DOWN) then becomes a level to watch, if price passes through it in earnest a trader would consider shifting their bias as market structure is deemed to have shifted.
•HTF CHoCHs: Option to print Higher time frame chochs (default on) of user input HTF. This prints only the last UP choch and only the last DOWN choch from the input HTF. Solid line by default so as to distinguish from local/chart-time CHoCHs. Can be any Higher timeframe you like.
•Show on table: toggle on show table(above/below) option to show in table cells (top right): is price above the latest HTF UP choch, or is price below HTF DOWN choch (or is it sat between the two, in a state of 'uncertainty').
•Most recent CHoCHs which have not been met by price will extend 10 bars into the future.
• USER INPUTS: overall setting: SHOW CHOCHS | Set bars lookback number to limit historical Chochs. Set Live CHoCHs number to control the number of active recent chochs unmet by price. Toggle shrink chochs once hit to declutter chart and minimize old chochs to their origin bars. Set Multi-timeframe color override : to make Color choices auto-set to your preference color for each of 1m, 5m, 15m, H, 4H, D, W, M (where up and down are same color, but 'up' icon for up chochs and down icon for down chochs remain printing as normal)
2. Nested Pivot Highs & Lows; aka 'Pivot Highs & Lows (ST/MT/LT)'
•Based on a seperate, longer lookback/lookforward pivot calculation. Identifies Pivot highs and lows with a 'spikeyness' filter (filtering out weak/rounded/unimpressive Pivot highs/lows)
•by 'nested' I mean that the pivot highs are graded based on whether a pivot high sits between two lower pivot highs or vice versa.
--for example: STH = normal pivot. MTH is pivot high with a lower STH on either side. LTH is a pivot high with a lower MTH on either side. Same applies to pivot lows (STL/MTL/LTL)
•This is a useful way to measure the significance of a high or low. Both in terms of how much it might be typically swept by (see later) and what it would imply for HTF bias were we to break through it in earnest (more than just a sweep).
• USER INPUTS: overall setting: show pivot highs & lows | Bars lookback (historical pivots to show) | Pivots: lookback/lookforward length (determines the scale of your pivot highs/lows) | toggle on/off Apply 'Spikeyness' filter (filters out smooth/unimpressive pivot highs/lows). Set Spikeyness index (determines the strength of this filter if turned on) | Individually toggle on each of STH, MTH, LTH, STL, MTL, LTL along with their label text type , and size . Toggle on/off line for each of these Pivot highs/lows. | Set label spacer (atr multiples above / below) | set line style and line width
3. Grade Sweeps:
•These are directly related to the nested pivots described above. Most assets will have a typical sweep distance. I've added some of my expected sweeps for various assets in the indicator tooltips.
--i.e. Eur/Usd 10-20-30 pips is a typical 'grade' sweep. S&P HKEX:5 - HKEX:10 is a typical grade sweep.
•Each of the ST/MT/LT pivot highs and lows have optional user defined grade sweep boxes which paint above until filled (or user option for historical filled boxes to remain).
•Numbers entered into sweep input boxes are auto converted into appropriate units (i.e. pips for FX, $ or 'handles' for indices, $ for Crypto. Very low $ units can be input for low unit value crypto altcoins.
• USER INPUTS: overall setting: Show sweep boxes | individually select colors of each of STH, MTH, LTH, STL, MTL, LTL sweep boxes. | Set Grade sweep ($/pips) number for each of ST, MT, LT. This auto converts between pips and $ (i.e. FX vs Indices/Crypto). Can be a float as small or large as you like ($0.000001 to HKEX:1000 ). | Set box text position (horizontal & vertical) and size , and color . | Set Box width (bars) (for non extended/ non-auto-terminating at price boxes). | toggle on/off Extend boxes/lines right . | Toggle on/off Shrink Grade sweeps on fill (they will disappear in realtime when filled/passed through)
4. FVGs:
•Fair Value gaps. Represent 'naked' candle bodies where the wicks to either side do not meet, forming a 'gap' of sorts which has a tendency to fill, or at least to fill to midline (CE).
•These are ICT concepts. 'UP' FVGS are known as BISIs (Buyside imbalance, sellside inefficiency); 'DOWN' FVGs are known as SIBIs (Sellside imbalance, buyside inefficiency).
• USER INPUTS: overall setting: show FVGs | Bars lookback (history). | Choose to display: 'UP' FVGs (BISI) and/or 'DOWN FVGs (SIBI) . Choose to display the midline: CE , the color and the line style . Choose threshold: use CE (as opposed to Full Fill) |toggle on/off Shrink FVG on fill (CE hit or Full fill) (declutter chart/see backtesting history)
////••Alerts (general notes & cautionary notes)::
•Alerts are optional for most of the levels printed by this indicator. Set them via the three dots on indicator status line.
•Due to dynamic repainting of levels, alerts should be used with caution. Best use these alerts either for Higher time frame levels, or when closely monitoring price.
--E.g. You may set an alert for down-fill of the latest FVG below; but price will keep marching up; form a newer/higher FVG, and the alert will trigger on THAT FVG being down-filled (not the original)
•Available Alerts:
-FVG(BISI) cross above threshold(CE or full-fill; user choice). Same with FVG(SIBI).
-HTF last CHoCH down, cross below | HTF last CHoCH up, cross above.
-last CHoCH down, cross below | last CHoCH up, cross above.
-LTH cross above, MTH cross above, STH cross above | LTL cross below, MTL cross below, STL cross below.
////••Formatting (general)::
•all table text color is set from the 'Pivot highs & Lows (ST, MT, LT)' section (for those of you who prefer black backgrounds).
•User choice of Line-style, line color, line width. Same with Boxes. Icon choice for chochs. Char or label text choices for ST/MT/LT pivot highs & lows.
////••User Inputs (general):
•Each of the 4 components of this indicator can be easily toggled on/off independently.
•Quite a lot of options and toggle boxes, as described in full above. Please take your time and read through all the tooltips (hover over '!' icon) to get an idea of formatting options.
•Several Lookback periods defined in bars to control how much history is shown for each of the 4 components of this indicator.
•'Shrink on fill' settings on FVGs and CHoCHs: Basically a way to declutter chart; toggle on/off depending on if you're backtesting or reading live price action.
•Table Display: applies to ST/MT/LT pivot highs and to HTF CHoCHs; Toggle table on or off (in part or in full)
////••Credits:
•Credit to ICT (Inner Circle Trader) for some of the concepts used in this indicator (FVGS & CEs; Grade sweeps).
•Credit to @Icecold_crypto for the specific and novel concept of identifying CHoCHs in a simple, objective and effective manner (as demonstrated in the 1st chart below).

Energy_Arrows[Salty]This script quantifies the energy in a price move by comparing the relationship of 3 configurable exponential moving averages present on a slightly higher timeframe (chosen automatically based on the charts current period). It uses the closing price by default, but this is also configurable using the Source input. There are a few ways to use the information in this indicator. One is to use the values above zero (colored green) to provide a bullish bias for future price, and values below zero (colored red) indicating a bearish bias for future prices. This bias can be shown to be increasing or decreasing base on the upward or downward slope of the indicator. The green and red arrows can be enabled to show if the bias is strengthening or weakening based on the direction they are pointing. Finally, the height changes in the peaks of the indicator can be used to show divergence in the strength of extreme price moves to show when a pull back or reversal may occur.
Oscillator Workbench — Chart [LucF]█ OVERVIEW
This indicator uses an on-chart visual framework to help traders with the interpretation of any oscillator's behavior. The advantage of using this tool is that you do not need to know all the ins and outs of a particular oscillator such as RSI, CCI, Stochastic, etc. Your choice of oscillator and settings in this indicator will change its visuals, which allows you to evaluate different configurations in the context of how the workbench models oscillator behavior. My hope is that by using the workbench, you may come up with an oscillator selection and settings that produce visual cues you find useful in your trading.
The workbench works on any symbol and timeframe. It uses the same presentation engine as my Delta Volume Channels indicator; those already familiar with it will feel right at home here.
█ CONCEPTS
Oscillators
An oscillator is any signal that moves up and down a centerline. The centerline value is often zero or 50. Because the range of oscillator values is different than that of the symbol prices we look at on our charts, it is usually impossible to display an oscillator on the chart, so we typically put oscillators in a separate pane where they live in their own space. Each oscillator has its own profile and properties that dictate its behavior and interpretation. Oscillators can be bounded , meaning their values oscillate between fixed values such as 0 to 100 or +1 to -1, or unbounded when their maximum and minimum values are undefined.
Oscillator weight
How do you display an oscillator's value on a chart showing prices when both values are not on the same scale? The method I use here converts the oscillator's value into a percentage that is used to weigh a reference line. The weight of the oscillator is calculated by maintaining its highest and lowest value above and below its centerline since the beginning of the chart's history. The oscillator's relative position in either of those spaces is then converted to a percentage, yielding a positive or negative value depending on whether the oscillator is above or below its centerline. This method works equally well with bounded and unbounded oscillators.
Oscillator Channel
The oscillator channel is the space between two moving averages: the reference line and a weighted version of that line. The reference line is a moving average of a type, source and length which you select. The weighted line uses the same settings, but it averages the oscillator-weighted price source.
The weight applied to the source of the reference line can also include the relative size of the bar's volume in relation to previous bars. The effect of this is that the oscillator's weight on bars with higher total volume will carry greater weight than those with lesser volume.
The oscillator channel can be in one of four states, each having its corresponding color:
• Bull (teal): The weighted line is above the reference line.
• Strong bull (lime): The bull condition is fulfilled and the bar's close is above the reference line and both the reference and the weighted lines are rising.
• Bear (maroon): The weighted line is below the reference line.
• Strong bear (pink): The bear condition is fulfilled and the bar's close is below the reference line and both the reference and the weighted lines are falling.
Divergences
In the context of this indicator, a divergence is any bar where the slope of the reference line does not match that of the weighted line. No directional bias is assigned to divergences when they occur. You can also choose to define divergences as differences in polarity between the oscillator's slope and the polarity of close-to-close values. This indicator's divergences are designed to identify transition levels. They have no polarity; their bullish/bearish bias is determined by the behavior of price relative to the divergence channel after the divergence channel is built.
Divergence Channel
The divergence channel is the space between two levels (by default, the bar's low and high ) saved when divergences occur. When price has breached a channel and a new divergence occurs, a new channel is created. Until that new channel is breached, bars where additional divergences occur will expand the channel's levels if the bar's price points are outside the channel.
Price breaches of the divergence channel will change its state. Divergence channels can be in one of five different states:
• Bull (teal): Price has breached the channel to the upside.
• Strong bull (lime): The bull condition is fulfilled and the oscillator channel is in the strong bull state.
• Bear (maroon): Price has breached the channel to the downside.
• Strong bear (pink): The bear condition is fulfilled and the oscillator channel is in the strong bear state.
• Neutral (gray): The channel has not been breached.
█ HOW TO USE THE INDICATOR
Load the indicator on an active chart (see here if you don't know how).
The default configuration displays:
• The Divergence channel's levels.
• Bar colors using the state of the oscillator channel.
The default settings use:
• RSI as the oscillator, using the close source and a length of 20 bars.
• An Arnaud-Legoux moving average on the close and a length of 20 bars as the reference line.
• The weighted version of the reference line uses only the oscillator's weight, i.e., without the relative volume's weight.
The weighted line is capped to three standard deviations of the reference.
• The divergence channel's levels are determined using the high and low of the bars where divergences occur.
Breaches of the channel require a bar's low to move above the top of the channel, and the bar's high to move below the channel's bottom.
No markers appear on the chart; if you want to create alerts from this script, you will need first to define the conditions that will trigger the markers, then create the alert, which will trigger on those same conditions.
To learn more about how to use this indicator, you must understand the concepts it uses and the information it displays, which requires reading this description. There are no videos to explain it.
█ FEATURES
The script's inputs are divided in five sections: "Oscillator", "Oscillator channel", "Divergence channel", "Bar Coloring" and "Marker/Alert Conditions".
Oscillator
This is where you configure the oscillator you want to study. Thirty oscillators are available to choose from, but you can also use an oscillator from another indicator that is on your chart, if you want. When you select an external indicator's plot as the oscillator, you must also specify the value of its centerline.
Oscillator Channel
Here, you control the visibility and colors of the reference line, its weighted version, and the oscillator channel between them.
You also specify what type of moving average you want to use as a reference line, its source and its length. This acts as the oscillator channel's baseline. The weighted line is also a moving average of the same type and length as the reference line, except that it will be calculated from the weighted version of the source used in the reference line. By default, the weighted line is capped to three standard deviations of the reference line. You can change that value, and also elect to cap using a multiple of ATR instead. The cap provides a mechanism to control how far the weighted line swings from the reference line. This section is also where you can enable the relative volume component of the weight.
Divergence Channel
This is where you control the appearance of the divergence channel and the key price values used in determining the channel's levels and breaching conditions. These choices have an impact on the behavior of the channel. More generous level prices like the default low and high selection will produce more conservative channels, as will the default choice for breach prices.
In this section, you can also enable a mode where an attempt is made to estimate the channel's bias before price breaches the channel. When it is enabled, successive increases/decreases of the channel's top and bottom levels are counted as new divergences occur. When one count is greater than the other, a bull/bear bias is inferred from it. You can also change the detection mode of divergences, and choose to display a mark above or below bars where divergences occur.
Bar Coloring
You specify here:
• The method used to color chart bars, if you choose to do so.
• If you want to hollow out the bodies of bars where volume has not increased since the last bar.
Marker/Alert Conditions
Here, you specify the conditions that will trigger up or down markers. The trigger conditions can include a combination of state transitions of the oscillator and the divergence channels. The triggering conditions can be filtered using a variety of conditions.
Configuring the marker conditions is necessary before creating an alert from this script, as the alert will use the marker conditions to trigger.
Realtime values will repaint, as is usually the case with oscillators, but markers only appear on bar closes, so they will not repaint. Keep in mind, when looking at markers on historical bars, that they are positioned on the bar when it closes — NOT when it opens.
Raw values
The raw values calculated by this script can be inspected using the Data Window, including the oscillator's value and the weights.
█ INTERPRETATION
Except when mentioned otherwise, this section's charts use the indicator's default settings, with different visual components turned on or off.
The aim of the oscillator channel is to provide a visual representation of an oscillator's general behavior. The simplest characteristic of the channel is its bull/bear state, determined by whether the weighted line is above or below the reference line. One can then distinguish between its bull and strong bull states, as transitions from strong bull to bull states will generally happen when trends are losing steam. While one should not infer a reversal from such transitions, they can be a good place to tighten stops. Only time will tell if a reversal will occur. One or more divergences will often occur before reversals. This shows the oscillator channel, with the reference line and the thicker, weighted line:
The nature of the divergence channel 's design makes it particularly adept at identifying consolidation areas if its settings are kept on the conservative side. The divergence channel will also reveal transition areas. A gray divergence channel should usually be considered a no-trade zone. More adventurous traders can use the oscillator channel to orient their trade entries if they accept the risk of trading in a neutral divergence channel, which by definition will not have been breached by price. This show only the divergence channels:
This chart shows divergence channels and their levels, and colors bars on divergences and on the state of the oscillator channel, which is not visible on the chart:
If your charts are already busy with other stuff you want to hold on to, you could consider using only the chart bar coloring component of this indicator. Here we only color bars using the combined state of the oscillator and divergence channel, and we do not color the bodies of bars where volume has not increased. Note that my chart's settings do not color the candle bodies:
At its simplest, one way to use this indicator would be to look for overlaps of the strong bull/bear colors in both the oscillator channel and a divergence channel, as these identify points where price is breaching the divergence channel when the oscillator's state is consistent with the direction of the breach.
Tip
One way to use the Workbench is to combine it with my Delta Volume Channels indicator. If both indicators use the same MA as a reference line, you can display its delta volume channel instead of the oscillator channel.
This chart shows such a setup. The Workbench displays its divergence levels, the weighted reference line using the default RSI oscillator, and colors bars on divergences. The DV Channels indicator only displays its delta volume channel, which uses the same MA as the workbench for its baseline. This way you can ascertain the volume delta situation in contrast with the visuals of the Workbench:
█ LIMITATIONS
• For some of the oscillators, assumptions are made concerning their different parameters when they are more complex than just a source and length.
See the `oscCalc()` function in this indicator's code for all the details, and ask me in a comment if you can't find the information you need.
• When an oscillator using volume is selected and no volume information is available for the chart's symbol, an error will occur.
• The method I use to convert an oscillator's value into a percentage is fragile in the early history of datasets
because of the nascent expression of the oscillator's range during those early bars.
█ NOTES
Working with this workbench
This indicator is called a workbench for a reason; it is designed for traders interested in exploring its behavior with different oscillators and settings, in the hope they can come up with a setup that suits their trading methodology. I cannot tell you which setup is the best because its setup should be compatible with your trading methodology, which may require faster or slower transitions, thus different configurations of the settings affecting the calculations of the divergence channels.
For Pine Script™ Coders
• This script uses the new overload of the fill() function which now makes it possible to do vertical gradients in Pine. I use it for both channels displayed by this script.
• I use the new arguments for plot() 's `display` parameter to control where the script plots some of its values,
namely those I only want to appear in the script's status line and in the Data Window.
• I used my ta library for some of the oscillator calculations and helper functions.
• I also used TradingView's ta library for other oscillator calculations.
• I wrote my script using the revised recommendations in the Style Guide from the Pine v5 User Manual.
The Bounded Slope IndicatorThis indicator uses the concept of slopes and normalizes the values so that they are bounded between 0 and 100. The steps required to calculate the indicator are as follows:
* Calculate the slope of the price using a lookback period (by default, it is either 14 or 21). The slope is calculated by subtracting the current close price from the close price 21 (or 14) periods ago and dividing the result by 21 (or 14).
* Calculate the RSI of the slope calculations to get a normalized slope indicator.
The bounded slope indicator can be used the same way as the RSI:
* Through oversold and overbought levels. A bullish bias is present whenever the indicator is close to its oversold level (by default, it is 30) and a bearish bias is present whenever the indicator is close to its overbought level (by default, it is 70).
* Through the divergence technique. A bullish bias is present whenever the indicator is making higher lows and the market is making lower lows. A bearish bias is present whenever the indicator is making lower highs and the market is making higher highs.
The main advantage of the indicator is its different approach to measuring momentum which can be a good uncorrelated indicator to other classical ones (such as the stochastic oscillator and the MACD).

Background
Today is the first day of 2022 and happy new year every tradingviewers! May health and wealth go along with you all the time. I use this chance to publish my 1st PINE v5 lib : pandas_ta
This is not a piece of cake like thing, which cost me a lot of time and efforts to build this lib. Beyond 300 versions of this script was iterated in draft.
Function
Library "pandas_ta"
PINE v5 Counterpart of Pandas TA - A Technical Analysis Library in Python 3 at github.com
The Original Pandas Technical Analysis (Pandas TA) is an easy to use library that leverages the Pandas package with more than 130 Indicators and Utility functions and more than 60 TA Lib Candlestick Patterns.
I realized most of indicators except Candlestick Patterns because tradingview built-in Candlestick Patterns are even more powerful!
I use this to verify pandas_ta python version indicators for myself, but I realize that maybe many may need similar lib for pine v5 as well.

zigzagplusThis is same as existing zigzag library with respect to functionality. But, there is a small update with respect to how arrays are used internally. This also leads to issues with backward compatibility. Hence I decided to make this as new library instead of updating the older one.
Below are the major changes:
Earlier version uses array.unshift for adding new elements and array.pop for removing old elements. But, since array.unshift is considerably slower than alternative method array.push. Hence, this library makes use of array.push method to achieve performance.
While array.push increases the performance significantly, there is also an issue with removing as we no longer will be able to remove the element using pop which is again faster than shift (which need to shit all the elements by index). Hence, have removed the logic of removing elements for zigzag pivots after certain limit. Will think further about it once I find better alternative of handling it.
These implementation change also mean that zigzag pivots received by calling method will be ordered in reverse direction. Latest pivots will be stored with higher array index whereas older pivots are stored with lower array index. This is also the reason why backward compatibility is not achievable with this code change.

MACD including 6-period Forecast and Divergences█ OVERVIEW
This is my personal interpretation of the classic MACD Indicator. I am using the MACD as part of my analysis, and often I was wondering when I can expect the next signal (e.g. a Histogram cross). As I had come across some EMA forecast logics on tradingview, my goal was to use the EMA forecast calculation as basis to come to a complete MACD forecast. Here is the result.
Starting point is the classic MACD which is then plotted with MACD-Line, Signal Line and Histogram. In addition to the classic MACD, a 6 period Forecast for MACD, Signal and Histogram is available and divergences can be displayed on either the Histogram or the MACD Line.
Important:
As I am considering the closing price of the current candle as the basis for the calculation, the forecast values will REPAINT. But in my opinion this is fine as this indicator will not provide direct trading signals, but more an outlook into a potential future.
█ CALCULATION LOGIC
Below some details regarding the additional functionalities:
MACD Forecast:
The MACD Forecast is mainly based on a combination of EMA Forecasts. The inspiration for this basic forecast calculation is taken from the below tradingview members:
--> EMA Forecast input taken from "Triple MA Forecast" by yatrader2
--> Forecast Bias input taken from "Fancy Bollinger Bands" by BigBitsIO
When showing the forecast, the following options are available:
- Forecast Type: Determines if the Forecast is assuming a Flat price (last values of the MA calculation are replaced by current value) or if a Linear Regression is taken
- Number of candles taken for Linear Regression Calculation
- Bias of Forecast (Based on the recent Average True Range, the forecast values are either more bullish or more bearish calculated. "Neutral" turns off this function)
- Number of ATR Periods used to calculate Bias adjustment value
- Possibility to weight the Bias via a Multiplier - Default value is 1
Based on the above inputs, the forecasted values for MACD, Signal Line and Histogram are calculated and plotted for the next 6 periods.
Divergence Detection:
Based on the default tradingview divergence script with some adjustments:
- User can select to use either Histogram or MACD Line as basis for Divergence detection (Histogram by default)
- User can select if Divergence detection should be based on the candles including Wicks or only the Candle Bodies (Wicks by default)

This is an experimental indicator and I do not know if my theory works in real life. So treat this not as financial advise, but purely for entertainment and educational purposes.
I publish this code open so that everyone can re-use it or hopefully even improve it.
Let me know if you have any ideas for improvement and if it is within my coding capabilities (which to be honest are quite limited), I will try to accomodate it.
Have fun.
Risk Adjusted Geometric Exponent [VynthraQuant]RAGE Index (Risk-Adjusted Geometric Exponent)
Overview
The RAGE Index is a quantitative momentum oscillator that measures the efficiency and quality of an asset's price trend. Standing for Risk-Adjusted Geometric Exponent , this indicator goes beyond simple price action by evaluating the average logarithmic growth rate relative to the asset's volatility.
In institutional finance, it is not just about how much an asset moves, but how it moves. RAGE identifies trends that exhibit high compounding growth with minimal "noise" or volatility.
The Logic Behind RAGE
The indicator is built on two core quantitative pillars:
1. Geometric Exponent (GE): Instead of simple percentage changes, we calculate the geometric mean of log-returns. This represents the true compounding "velocity" of the price.
2. Volatility Normalization: We divide the GE by the standard deviation of returns (Volatility) over a specific lookback period.
How to Interpret the RAGE Index
* The Zero Line: The most critical level. When RAGE crosses above 0, the asset has entered a state of positive geometric growth. Below 0, the asset is in a state of efficient decay.
* Trend Quality: A rising RAGE value indicates that the trend is becoming more "efficient", growth is increasing while volatility is staying low or decreasing.
* Color-Coded Candles: The script features a `force_overlay` function that colors the candles on your main chart.
* Bullish Color: Efficient growth detected (Long bias).
* Bearish Color: Efficient decay detected (Short bias).
Key Features
* Logarithmic Accuracy: Uses log-returns to ensure time-additivity and eliminate the bias found in standard percentage calculations.
* Adaptive to Volatility: Unlike a standard RSI or MACD, RAGE penalizes "choppy" price action, helping you stay out of sideways markets.
* Optimized Performance: Written in Pine Script v6 with high-efficiency math to ensure fast loading even on lower timeframes.
Settings
* GE Lookback: The window used to calculate the average growth rate.
* Volatility Lookback: The window used to measure the "risk" or noise of the price action.

Volume-Weighted Fibonacci PivotThis indicator automatically plots dynamic Fibonacci retracement and extension levels based on a volume-weighted pivot point within a user-defined lookback period or date range. It intelligently calculates a central "pivot" price biased toward high-volume bars, then draws symmetric levels both upward (extensions) and downward (retracements) for balanced confluence analysis.
How It Works (Technical Methodology)
Lookback Period Determination
Multiple filter modes control the data range used for calculations:
"Last X Bars": Fixed number of recent bars (default 400, max 4999).
"Manual Date": User-specified start date.
"Interactive (Chart)": Confirmed start date via input.
"None": Full available history (falls back to max bars).
Optionally, when using "Last X Bars", calculations can pull data from a higher/lower user-selected timeframe via request.security() for multi-timeframe alignment.
A dotted vertical line marks the start point in date-based modes.
Range and Pivot Calculation
Within the selected period:
Highest high and lowest low define the full price range.
Average volume is computed across the period.
Volume-Weighted Pivot: Average close price only from bars where volume > average volume (fallback to simple midpoint if no high-volume bars).
This creates a "smart" central pivot that leans toward areas of greater participation, often aligning with institutional activity.
Fibonacci Level Generation
User-configurable ratios (default: 0.236, 0.382, 0.5, 0.618, 0.786, 1.0, 1.272, 1.414, 1.618).
Levels are calculated symmetrically around the volume-weighted pivot:
Upward: Pivot + (Range × Ratio × Correction Factor) – teal/cyan shades.
Downward: Pivot - (Range × Ratio × Correction Factor) – red shades.
Correction Factor (default 0.5): Scales level spacing for tighter/wider grids without altering ratios.
Only the user-defined number of active lines (default 9) are drawn.
Visual Construction
Central Pivot Line: Thick yellow horizontal line with label showing exact price.
Up/Down Levels: Dashed lines extended into the future, labeled with ratio direction ("Up" or "Dn").
All objects redraw only on the last bar for performance, clearing previous drawings.
Multi-Timeframe Option
When enabled with "Last X Bars":
Pulls high/low/volume data from specified timeframe.
Aligns the pivot and levels to higher-timeframe structure while displaying on current chart – ideal for intraday traders seeking HTF confluence.
How to Use
This tool provides clean, volume-aware Fibonacci grids for identifying potential support/resistance, reversal zones, and targets.
Volume-Weighted Pivot: Often acts as a strong mean reversion level or fair value area.
Upward Levels (Teal): Potential resistance/extensions in bullish moves; watch for reactions on retests.
Downward Levels (Red): Potential support/retracements in bearish moves.
Confluence: High probability when price reacts at levels aligning with other tools (order blocks, pivots, volume profile).
Correction Factor: Lower values (<0.5) for tighter grids in ranging markets; higher (>0.5) for trending markets.
Multi-Timeframe Mode: Use on lower charts (e.g., 15m) with HTF input (e.g., 4H or Daily) to project major structure levels.
Common Setups:
Pullbacks to 0.618–0.786 zones for continuation entries.
Breaks beyond 1.0–1.618 for extension targets.
Reactions near pivot line for mean reversion trades.
Adjust ratios and active line count to match your preferred Fibonacci style (classic retracement vs. extensions).

XAU Seasonality + Setup Quality + Month Strength | WarRoomXYZXAU Seasonality Engine is a technical analysis indicator developed for the study of recurring, calendar-based behavior on XAUUSD (Gold).
The tool blends month-of-year seasonality statistics with higher-timeframe context and a setup-quality gate to help users observe when market conditions historically lean strong, weak, or neutral — and how strict trade selection should be during each regime.
Indicator Concept
An indicator for XAUUSD that combines:
1. Seasonality Regime (Month-of-Year Bias)
► Classifies the current month as Strong / Weak / Neutral based on either:
• Preset months (user-defined)
or
• Auto mode (computed from historical monthly performance)
► Strong months suggest a bullish tailwind (not a signal).
► Weak months suggest headwind / caution and require stricter setup quality.
2. Monthly Performance Engine (Under the Hood)
► Uses the symbol’s monthly timeframe data to compute, per calendar month:
• Average monthly return (%)
• Win rate (%) — how often that month closes positive
• Month Strength Score (0–100) — a blended score derived from performance data
► The score is designed to provide a relative strength snapshot of seasonality by month.
3. Month Strength Histogram
► Plots a histogram (0–100) of the current month’s strength score.
• Higher bars = historically stronger month tendency
• Lower bars = historically weaker month tendency
► Optional horizontal reference lines mark “strong” and “weak” zones to make regimes obvious at a glance.
4. Setup Quality Meter (Confluence Filter)
► The indicator calculates a Setup Quality Score (0–100) using market structure and momentum components, such as:
• EMA trend alignment
• Momentum confirmation (EMA fast vs slow)
• Structure break confirmation (BOS)
• Liquidity sweep behavior
• Candle confirmation logic
► This score is intended as a trade-selectivity filter , not a trade executor.
5. Adaptive Rules for Weak Months (Strict Mode)
► When the indicator detects a weak seasonal regime, conditions automatically tighten:
• The A+ threshold increases (adaptive thresholding)
• Optional rule: Weak months require BOS + Sweep + FVG simultaneously before any A+ condition is considered valid
This forces the user into “higher-quality-only” behavior during historically weaker seasonal periods.
🔹1 Visual Components Included
• Seasonality regime label (Strong / Weak / Neutral)
• Optional background shading based on regime
• Month Strength Score histogram (0–100)
• Current month stats: Avg return + win rate
• Setup Quality Meter value (0–100)
• Adaptive A+ threshold display
• Weak-month confluence gate status (BOS / Sweep / FVG pass/fail)
• Optional alerts when strict criteria are met
➣What Means in the XAU Indicator
🔹 Definition (in THIS indicator)
Win Rate = the percentage of historical months that closed positive for the same calendar month.
It is NOT:
trade win rate ❌
signal accuracy ❌
It is a s tatistical seasonality metric .
How It’s Calculated
For each calendar month (January, February, etc.), the indicator:
1.Looks at historical monthly candles (Monthly timeframe).
2. Counts how many times that month:
•Closed higher than it opened (or higher than previous month close).
3. Divides:
Number of positive months
÷
Total number of observed months
× 100
Example: September
If over the last 20 years:
September closed green 14 times
September closed red 6 times
Then:
Win Rate = (14 / 20) × 100 = 70%
That’s what you see as in the dashboard.
What the Win Rate Is Used For
1️⃣ Part of the Month Strength Score
The indicator blends:
•Average Monthly Return (%) → measures magnitude
•Win Rate (%) → measures consistency
Combined into:
Month Strength Score (0–100)
This avoids a common trap:
•A month with 1 huge rally but many losses ≠ reliable
•A month with steady positive closes = higher quality environment
What Win Rate Tells You
High Win Rate (e.g. 65–75%)
•Gold more often closes higher in this month
•Continuation is statistically more likely
•Pullbacks are more likely to resolve in trend direction
Low Win Rate (e.g. 35–45%)
•Gold more often fails to close higher
•More chop, deeper retracements, false breakouts
•Continuation trades statistically struggle
What It Does NOT Tell You
🚫 It does NOT mean:
•“You will win 70% of your trades”
•“Every setup in this month works”
•“Direction is guaranteed”
Seasonality is context, not prediction.
Why This Is Powerful When Combined With Your System
On its own, win rate is just data.
But in your indicator, it’s used to:
•🔒 Raise the A+ threshold in weak months
•🧠 Force BOS + Sweep + FVG confluence
•❌ Block marginal setups automatically
So instead of guessing:
-“Why is gold so choppy this month?”
You know:
-“This month historically underperforms SO I must be stricter.”
➣What Means in the XAU Seasonality Indicator
🔹 Definition (in THIS indicator)
Avg Monthly Return = the average percentage gain or loss of XAUUSD for a specific calendar month, calculated across many years.
It measures magnitude , not frequency.
It is NOT:
•trade profit ❌
•expected return for the next month ❌
•guaranteed performance ❌
It is a historical seasonality tendency.
How It’s Calculated
For each calendar month (January, February, etc.), the indicator:
1.Takes every historical occurrence of that month.
2.Calculates the percentage change of the monthly candle:
(Monthly Close − Previous Monthly Close)
÷ Previous Monthly Close × 100
3. Adds all those percentage changes together.
4. Divides by the total number of observations.
Example: September
Assume over 20 years:
+2.4%, +1.1%, −0.6%, +3.0%, +1.8%, ...
If the sum of all September returns = +28% across 20 years:
Avg Monthly Return = +1.40%
That’s the number displayed in the indicator.
What Avg Monthly Return Is Used For
1️⃣ Measuring Strength of Movement
•Win Rate → “How often does it close green?”
•Avg Monthly Return → “How big are the moves when it works?”
Both are needed.
A month can:
•Win often but move very little
•Move a lot but only occasionally
The indicator combines both to avoid misleading conclusions.
How to Interpret Avg Monthly Return
Positive Avg Return (e.g. +0.8% to +2.0%)
•Gold tends to expand during this month
•Continuation phases are more likely
•Pullbacks are often absorbed
Near-Zero Avg Return (e.g. −0.2% to +0.2%)
•Market is statistically balanced
•Expect chop, rotations, false breaks
•Continuation is less reliable
Negative Avg Return (e.g. −0.5% or worse)
•Downward pressure or heavy mean reversion
•Rallies often fade
•Risk of aggressive stop hunts
What Avg Monthly Return Does NOT Mean
🚫 It does NOT mean:
•“Price will move +1.4% this month”
•“You should buy because the number is positive”
•“This is a guaranteed edge”
It describes historical behavior, not future certainty.
Why Avg Monthly Return Matters More Than People Think
Two months can have the same win rate but behave very differently:
Example:
Month Win Rate Avg Return Reality
Month A 65% +0.2% Small, choppy wins
Month B 55% +1.6% Fewer wins, but strong expansions
Your indicator would rank Month B as stronger, which is correct for continuation-based strategies.
How It Feeds the Month Strength Score
The indicator blends:
•60% Avg Monthly Return (normalized)
•40% Win Rate
This means:
•Big moves matter more than small consistency
•But consistency still matters enough to prevent distortion
Result:
Month Strength Score (0–100)
Which is then used to:
•tighten or relax A+ thresholds
•activate weak-month strict rules
•control trade frequency
🔹2. Intended Use
The indicator is designed as a discretionary analysis tool to support study of:
• seasonal bias and calendar tendencies
• relative strength/weakness across months
• how strict trade selection should be across different regimes
• confluence behavior when seasonal conditions are unfavorable
The tool does not generate forecasts, does not guarantee outcomes, and should not be relied upon as a stand-alone decision mechanism.
🔹3.How to Use XAU Seasonality Engine
Recommended charts: XAUUSD, intraday (5m–15m) with a HTF context (1H–4H).
1. Identify the Seasonal Regime
• Strong month → you can allow more continuation bias (still require structure).
• Neutral month → trade normally, standard criteria.
• Weak month → tighten selection, demand clean A+ conditions only.
2. Read the Month Strength Histogram
• If the score is high (e.g., 70+), the month has historically shown stronger tendency.
• If the score is low (e.g., 40 and below), expect slower conditions, deeper pullbacks, or more chop — and reduce marginal trades.
3. Use the Setup Quality Meter as the Gate
► In normal/strong months:
• A+ threshold is moderate (e.g., 70)
► In weak months:
• A+ threshold is higher (e.g., 80+)
• Optional strict mode: must also pass BOS + Sweep + FVG alignment
4. Example Trade Logic (Framework, Not Signals)
► Bullish framework in a Strong Month:
• Seasonal regime = Strong (tailwind)
• Structure supports bullish continuation (trend alignment)
• Sweep occurs into demand / liquidity grab
• Setup Quality reaches A+ threshold
• Entry: confirmation candle or retrace to key level
• SL: beyond sweep low / invalidation
• TP: nearest liquidity / prior highs / HTF level
► Weak Month rule-set (Strict Mode):
• Seasonal regime = Weak (headwind)
• Only consider trades if:
✅ BOS confirms direction
✅ Sweep occurs and rejects cleanly
✅ FVG exists recently (or is mitigated if you choose that model)
✅ Setup Quality exceeds the elevated adaptive threshold
If any one is missing → no trade
This is not meant to “predict” gold — it’s meant to enforce discipline when seasonality historically underperforms.
🔹4.Limitations and User Responsibility
► The indicator does not represent financial advice or imply performance expectations.
► Seasonality is statistical tendency, not certainty — macro conditions can override it.
► Results vary by broker feed, timeframe, and settings.
► Users should test thoroughly in simulation before applying to live markets.
► All trading decisions, risk management, and execution remain solely the responsibility of the user.
🔹5. Alerts
Optional alerts can notify when:
• a new month begins and the seasonal regime changes
• A+ criteria are met
• weak-month strict conditions pass (BOS + Sweep + FVG)
Alerts are informational only and do not constitute actionable recommendations.

FVG MTF Consensus OscillatorFVG MTF Consensus Oscillator
A multi-timeframe, multi-component oscillator that combines momentum, deviation, and slope analysis across multiple timeframes using Zeiierman's Chebyshev-filtered trend calculation. This indicator identifies potential turning points with zone-based signal classification and timeframe consensus filtering.
Backed by ML/Deep Learning evaluation on ES Futures data from 2015-2024.
🎯 Concept
Traditional oscillators suffer from two major weaknesses:
Single measurement - relying on one metric makes them susceptible to noise
Single timeframe - missing the bigger picture leads to fighting the trend
The FVG MTF Consensus Oscillator addresses both issues by combining three independent measurements across three timeframes into a weighted consensus signal.
The Three Components
Momentum - How fast is the trend moving?
Deviation - How far has price stretched from the trend?
Slope - What is the short-term directional bias?
The Three Timeframes
TF1 (Chart) - Your current chart timeframe (lowest weight)
TF2 (Medium) - Typically 1H or 4H (medium weight)
TF3 (High) - Typically 4H or Daily (highest weight)
By requiring agreement across multiple components AND multiple timeframes, the oscillator filters out noise while capturing meaningful, high-probability market movements.
🔧 How It Works
The Core: Chebyshev Type 1 Filter
At its heart, this indicator uses a Chebyshev Type 1 low-pass filter (inspired by Zeiierman's FVG Trend) to extract a clean trend line from price action. Unlike simple moving averages, the Chebyshev filter offers:
Sharper cutoff between trend and noise
Minimal lag for a given smoothness level
Controlled overshoot via the ripple parameter
Three Oscillator Components
1. Momentum Component
Momentum = Current Trend Value - Previous Trend Value
Measures the velocity of the trend. High positive values indicate strong upward acceleration, while high negative values show downward acceleration.
2. Deviation Component
Deviation = Close Price - Trend Value
Measures how far price has stretched away from the trend line. Useful for identifying overextended conditions and mean reversion opportunities.
3. Slope Component
Slope = Change in Trend over 3 bars
Captures the short-term directional bias of the trend itself, helping confirm trend changes.
Normalization & Component Consensus
Each component is individually normalized to a -100 to +100 scale using adaptive scaling. The oscillator output is a weighted average of all three components, allowing you to emphasize different aspects based on your trading style.
Multi-Timeframe Weighting
The final oscillator value combines all three timeframes using configurable weights:
Combined = (TF1 × Weight1 + TF2 × Weight2 + TF3 × Weight3) / Total Weight
Default weights (1, 2, 3) ensure higher timeframes have more influence, keeping you aligned with the dominant trend while timing entries on lower timeframes.
📊 Zone System
The oscillator uses a fuzzy zone system to classify market conditions:
ZoneRangeInterpretationSignal ColorNeutral-5 to +5No clear bias, avoid tradingGrayContinuation±5 to ±25Trend pullback, continuation setupsAquaDeep Swing±25 to ±50Extended move, stronger setupsGreenReversalBeyond ±50Extreme extension, reversal potentialOrange
When "Show Zone Background" is enabled, the background shading darkens as the oscillator moves into more extreme zones, providing instant visual feedback.
📈 Signal Interpretation
Turn Signals
The indicator plots triangular markers when the oscillator changes direction:
▲ Triangle Up (bottom): Oscillator turning up from a low
▼ Triangle Down (top): Oscillator turning down from a high
Signal Quality by Zone
Not all signals are equal. The signal color indicates which zone the turn occurred in:
ColorZoneProbabilityBest UseGrayNeutralLowAvoid or use very tight stopsAquaContinuationModerateTrend continuation entriesGreenDeep SwingHigherSwing trade entriesOrangeReversalHighestCounter-trend with caution
Timeframe Consensus Filter
Signals only fire when the required number of timeframes agree on direction. With default settings (TF Consensus = 2), at least 2 of 3 timeframes must be moving in the same direction for a signal to trigger.
This prevents:
Taking longs when higher timeframes are bearish
Taking shorts when higher timeframes are bullish
Whipsaws during timeframe disagreement
Trend Coloring
The combined oscillator line changes color based on trend direction:
Light purple (RGB 240, 174, 252): Majority of timeframes trending up
Dark purple (RGB 84, 19, 95): Majority of timeframes trending down

💡 Usage Examples
Example 1: Trend Continuation (Dip Buying)
Setup: Uptrend confirmed by higher timeframes
Check the info table - TF2 and TF3 should show green (rising)
Wait for TF1 to pull back, oscillator enters Continuation zone
Enter on Aqua ▲ signal (turn up with TF consensus)
Stop below recent swing low
Target: Previous high or next resistance
Why it works: You're buying a dip in an established uptrend with multi-timeframe confirmation.
Example 2: Deep Swing Entry
Setup: Extended move showing exhaustion
Oscillator reaches Deep Swing zone (±25 to ±50)
At least 2 TFs start showing the same direction
Enter on Green signal indicating momentum exhaustion
Use tighter stop as the move is already extended
Target: Return to Continuation zone or trend line
Why it works: Extended moves tend to mean-revert. The zone system identifies these opportunities.
Example 3: Reversal Setup (Advanced)
Setup: Extreme extension with diverging timeframes
Oscillator reaches Reversal zone (beyond ±50)
Watch for TF1 to turn while TF3 is still extended
Enter on Orange signal - this is counter-trend!
Use smaller position size and wider stops
Target: Return to Deep Swing or Continuation zone
Why it works: Extreme extensions eventually correct. The orange signal marks high-probability reversal points.
Example 4: Avoiding Bad Trades
What to avoid:
Gray signals in Neutral zone - No edge, random noise
Signals against TF3 direction - Fighting the dominant trend
Signals without TF consensus - Timeframe disagreement = choppy market
Multiple signals in quick succession - Let cooldown filter work
🔬 Multi-Timeframe Analysis Tips
Reading the Info Table
The info table shows real-time oscillator values:
| TF1 | TF2 | TF3 | CMB |
| 23.5 | 45.2 | 67.8 | 52.1 |
All green: Strong uptrend across all timeframes
All red: Strong downtrend across all timeframes
Mixed colors: Potential transition or consolidation
Timeframe Alignment States
TF1TF2TF3Interpretation↑↑↑Strong bull - look for long entries↓↓↓Strong bear - look for short entries↑↑↓Pullback in downtrend - caution on longs↓↓↑Pullback in uptrend - caution on shorts↑↓↑Choppy - reduce position size↓↑↓Choppy - reduce position size
The Power of Consensus
With TF Consensus = 2, signals only fire when 2+ timeframes agree. This single filter eliminates most whipsaws and keeps you aligned with the dominant trend.
For more conservative trading, set TF Consensus = 3 (all timeframes must agree).
⚠️ Important Notes
This indicator does not predict the future. It measures current market conditions and momentum across multiple timeframes.
Always use proper risk management. No indicator is 100% accurate.
Combine with price action. The oscillator works best when confirmed by support/resistance, candlestick patterns, or other confluence factors.
Respect the higher timeframe. When TF3 disagrees, trade smaller or sit out.
Zone signals are probabilistic. Orange (reversal) signals have higher probability but aren't guaranteed reversals.
Adjust settings per instrument. Default settings are optimized for ES Futures but may need tuning for other markets.
🧪 ML/Deep Learning Background
The default parameters and zone thresholds were evaluated using machine learning techniques on ES Futures data spanning 2015-2024. This included:
Optimization of component weights
Zone threshold calibration
Timeframe weight balancing
Signal filter tuning
While past performance doesn't guarantee future results, the parameters represent a data-driven starting point rather than arbitrary defaults.

***
### **📐 How It Works**
#### **The Confluence Methodology**
This indicator implements a sophisticated confluence trading approach where multiple independent price action signals are combined to identify high-probability setups. Each signal type contributes points to either the bullish or bearish score, with a maximum of 6 points per direction.
**Scoring Breakdown:**
**BULLISH SIGNALS:**
- FTFC Base (15m close > previous 15m close) = +1
- FTFC Bonus (price clears 15th candle high) = +1
- **PATH A (Sweep):** Long Grab = +1, High Hold Bonus = +2
- **PATH B (Clean):** 2-Up = +1, 2-Up Bonus = +1
- Breakaway (gap above first candle) = +1
**BEARISH SIGNALS:**
- FTFC Base (15m close < previous 15m close) = +1
- FTFC Bonus (price clears 15th candle low) = +1
- **PATH A (Sweep):** Short Grab = +1, Low Hold Bonus = +2
- **PATH B (Clean):** 2-Down = +1, 2-Down Bonus = +1
- Breakaway (gap below first candle) = +1
#### **Path Detection Logic**
The indicator automatically determines which path the market is following:
**PATH A: SWEEP PATH**
- Activated when previous 15m low (bull) or high (bear) is breached
- Indicates liquidity grab before reversal
- Includes powerful +2 bonus for "Hold" confirmations
- Mutually exclusive with Path B
**PATH B: CLEAN PATH**
- Activated when previous 15m low (bull) or high (bear) holds
- Indicates strong directional momentum without sweep
- Cleaner price action but smaller point potential
- Mutually exclusive with Path A
This mutual exclusivity prevents double-counting and ensures signal accuracy.

#### **Installation**
1. Add indicator to your 1-minute chart
2. The dashboard appears as a table overlay (default: top right)
3. No additional indicators required - this is a complete system
#### **Reading the Dashboard**
**Top Section - Confluence Meter:**
- Shows current bull/bear scores with visual dot meters
- Background color changes based on confluence strength:
- **Bright Green/Red** = 5+ points (strong directional bias)
- **Medium Green/Red** = 3+ points (moderate bias)
- **Orange** = 3+ points both sides (conflicting signals)
- **Gray** = Low confluence (choppy conditions)
**Signal Panels Section:**
- Each row shows a signal type with bull/bear lights side-by-side
- Active signals (🟢🔴) contribute to the total score
- Building signals (🟡) indicate potential setups forming
- Unavailable paths (▪️) show which exclusive path is blocked
#### **Trading Strategy**
**High-Probability Long Entries:**
- Bull score ≥ 5 AND bear score ≤ 1
- Multiple green lights active in signal panels
- PATH A or PATH B showing full completion
- Consider entry on pullback to key 15m level
**High-Probability Short Entries:**
- Bear score ≥ 5 AND bull score ≤ 1
- Multiple red lights active in signal panels
- PATH A or PATH B showing full completion
- Consider entry on rally to key 15m level
**Avoid Trading When:**
- Both scores are 3+ (conflicting signals)
- No path is showing active/building status
- Score is below 3 on both sides (low confluence)
#### **Risk Management**
- Use 15m swing high/low for stop placement
- Target opposing 15m level or previous session extremes
- Scale out at partial targets when confluence decreases
- Best results when combined with proper position sizing

- Low volume/choppy market
- News events pending
### Risk Management Rules
1. **Never risk more than 1-2% per trade**
2. **Always use stop loss** - place beyond the level
3. **Wait for candle close** - don't enter on wick touches
4. **Respect the cooldown** - avoid overtrading
5. **Consider the trend** - counter-trend reversals are riskier

## 💡 Pro Tips
1. **Combine with trend analysis** - Reversals in trend direction are more reliable
2. **Watch for confluence with other S/R** - If VAH/VAL aligns with round numbers, previous highs/lows, or fib levels, the level is stronger
3. **Volume confirmation** - Higher volume on reversal candle = stronger signal
4. **Time of day matters** - Reversals during active trading hours are more reliable
5. **Adjust sensitivity by market** - Volatile assets may need higher Min Confluence Score
6. **Use multiple timeframes** - Check if reversal level aligns with higher timeframe levels

Session Sweep System – WarRoomXYZ V1WarRoom Session Sweep System v1 is a open-source institutional trading framework built to identify liquidity behavior across Asia, London, and New York sessions.
It combines session-based liquidity mapping, sweep detection, daily expansion modeling, and trend confirmation into a unified, timing-driven system optimized for XAUUSD, FX pairs, indices, and any instrument with session-dependent volatility.
This tool does not attempt to predict direction with arbitrary oscillators.
Instead, it focuses on the underlying market mechanisms that drive price:
liquidity, timing, expansion, and trend alignment.
Below is a detailed explanation of what the script does, how its components work, and how traders can use it effectively.
🔹 1. Session Liquidity Mapping
The script automatically identifies the Asia (00:00–06:00 GMT), London (07:00–12:00 GMT), and New York (13:00–17:00 GMT) sessions and builds real-time session ranges.
Each session creates a liquidity pool.
Trading institutions frequently sweep the high or low of one session before delivering the real move in the next session.
This script captures that behavior by:
►Drawing session range boxes
►Tracking previous session highs/lows
►Highlighting high-probability sweep locations
These ranges are essential reference points for timing entries and exits.
🔹 2. Liquidity Sweep Detection (Buy & Sell Sweeps)
The indicator identifies when price runs a previous session high/low and rejects back inside the range, which is commonly interpreted as a liquidity sweep.
The following sweep types are monitored:
►London sweeping Asia
►New York sweeping London
►Asia sweeping New York
►Daily sweep of PDH/PDL
Sweeps signal that liquidity has been collected and that a potential reversal or continuation is likely.
These are marked clearly on the chart for real-time decision-making.
🔹 3. Killzone Timing Model (GMT Time)
Market manipulation and expansion often occur during specific time windows.
The script highlights these institutional killzones:
►London Killzone: 07:00–10:00 GMT
►New York Killzone: 13:30–15:30 GMT
►NY PM Session: 19:00–21:00 GMT
Sweeps occurring inside these windows carry a significantly higher probability.
The timing layer helps filter out low-quality setups.
🔹 4. Daily Range & ADR Expansion Engine
A dedicated panel displays:
►Current day range
►ADR (Average Daily Range)
►Expansion stage (Early / Developed / Extended)
►PDH/PDL swept or intact
►Overall session bias
This allows traders to understand whether the daily move is likely to continue or reverse.
For example:
►Early expansion → trend continuation likely
►Extended expansion → reversal setups become more probable
This is useful for intraday targets and risk management.
🔹 5. MA Cloud Trend Model (Fast/Slow Structure)
To align liquidity behavior with directional conviction, the script includes a configurable MA engine:
►Fast & slow MA
►MA cloud
►Slope-based trend coloring
►Trend background
►MA cross alerts
The cloud provides trend confirmation without relying on oscillators.
Trades are higher quality when the sweep direction aligns with the MA trend.
🔹 6. How the Components Work Together
The script integrates several institutional concepts into one coherent model:
►Sessions define liquidity pools
►Sweeps identify stop-hunts and reversals
►Killzones define optimal timing
►MA Cloud confirms directional bias
►ADR engine indicates expansion potential
This creates a structured framework:
Sweep → Timing → Trend → Expansion → Execution
Each component strengthens the others, forming a robust decision-making model.
🔹 7. How to Use the Indicator (Practical Guide)
✔ Look for a sweep of a previous session level
When price runs a session high/low and closes back inside, liquidity has likely been collected.
✔ Confirm timing
Sweeps inside London or NY killzones tend to produce the strongest moves.
✔ Confirm trend
Use MA cloud direction and slope:
►Cloud green → long setups preferred
►Cloud red → short setups preferred
✔ Check ADR panel
If the day has already expanded significantly, reversal setups are more likely.
If expansion is still early, continuation setups are favored.
✔ Plan your trade
Common targets include:
►Opposite side of session range
►ADR High/Low
►PDH/PDL
Stops are typically placed beyond the sweep wick.
This creates a repeatable, rule-based approach to intraday liquidity trading.
🔹 8. Why This Script Is Original
This is not a mashup of existing open-source indicators.
It introduces:
►A custom session-linked liquidity sweep engine
►A structured daily expansion model
►Integrated killzone timing aligned with GMT
►A unified bias panel merging sweeps, ADR, and session manipulation
►A trend confirmation layer designed around session behavior
While it uses known institutional concepts, their integration, execution, and timing framework are unique, purpose-built, and not directly found in open-source scripts.
🔹 9. Suitable Markets
This indicator works best on:
►XAUUSD
►Major FX pairs
►US indices
►Synthetic markets with session cycles
Ideal timeframes: 1m, 5m, 15m, 30m
🔹 10. Limitations / Notes
This is an analytical tool, not a buy/sell signal generator
All sweeps are confirmed at candle close (non-repaint)
The tool assumes GMT session windows unless chart time differs
Users must practice risk management and entry triggers manually
