Thrax - Intraday Market Pressure ZonesTHRAX - INTRADAY MARKET PRESSURE ZONES
This indicator identifies potential support and resistance zones based on areas of significant market pressure. It dynamically plots these zones and adjusts their visibility based on real-time price action and user-defined thresholds. The indicator is useful for traders seeking to understand intraday market pressure, visualize zones of potential price reversals, and analyze volume imbalances at critical levels.
1. Support/Resistance Zones: Wherever the price retraces significantly from its high a support zone is drawn and when it retraces significantly from it low a resistance zone is drawn. The significant retracing is measured by the wick threshold percentage. For instance, if set to 75%, it implies price retracement of 75% either from high or from low for a particular candel
Volume delat: Displays volume delta information where the zones are formed. This can be used by trader to consider only those zones where delta is significant.
2. Breakout Detection: Monitors for price breakouts beyond established zones, deleting zones that are invalidated by price movement. when the price breaks a given zone with the threshold, it is considered to be mitigated and chances of trend continuation is decent.
Candle Coloring: Uses color codes (green, red, and yellow) to represent bullish, bearish, and indecisive (doji) candles, aiding quick visual assessment.
INPUTS
1. Wick Threshold (%) : Sets the minimum wick percentage required for a candle to be considered a support or resistance candidate.
2. Breakout Threshold (%) : Determines the percentage above or below a support or resistance zone that defines a breakout condition. if breaks a zone with the set threshold then the zone will be considered mititgated.
3. Max Number of Support/Resistance Zones : Limits the maximum number of support/resistance zones displayed on the chart, ranging from 1 to 5.
4. Show Wick Percentage Labels : Toggles the display of percentage values for upper and lower wicks on each candle.
TRADE SETUP
Identifying Entry Points: Look for the formation of support or resistance zones. Wait for price to retrace to these zones. if you are willing to take risk, you can consider even zones with low delta. If you want to be more cautious you should consider zones with high delta.
Volume Confirmation: Use the volume information to confirm the strength of the zone. Strong volume differences (displayed as labels) can indicate significant market pressure at these levels.
Breakout Trades: If price breaks through a support/resistance zone by more than the breakout threshold, consider this a signal for a potential trend continuation in the breakout direction.
Risk Management: Set stop-loss levels slightly outside of the identified zones to minimize risk in case of false breakouts. This can be set in input setting for breakout threshold.
Bonus Tip : Mark your significant highs and lows from where prices have retraced multiple times in the near past and if the zone is near these levels it can serve s a strong candidate of support or resistance
Therefore, in conclusion monitor the zones, based on delta and volume presence filter out the zone, wait for price retracement to the zone, intiate the trade with stop loss below zone with a set percentage.

Options Series - Explode BB⭐ Bullish Zone:
⭐ Bearish Zone:
⭐ Neutral Zone:
The provided script integrates Bollinger Bands with different lengths (20 and 200 periods) and applies customized candle coloring based on certain conditions. Here's a breakdown of its importance and insights:
⭐ 1. Dual Bollinger Bands (BBs):
Bollinger Bands (BB) with 20-period length:
This is the standard setting for Bollinger Bands, with a 20-period simple moving average (SMA) as the central line and upper/lower bands derived from the standard deviation.
These bands are used to identify volatility. Wider bands indicate higher volatility, while narrower bands indicate low volatility.
200-period BB:
This is a longer-term indicator providing insight into the overall trend and long-term volatility.
The 200-period bands filter out noise and offer a "macro" view of price movements compared to the 20-period bands, which focus on short-term price actions.
⭐ 2. Overlay of Bollinger Bands and SMA:
The script plots the Bollinger Bands along with the SMA (Simple Moving Average) of the 200-period BB. This gives traders both a short-term (20-period) and long-term (200-period) perspective, which is valuable for detecting major trend shifts or key support and resistance zones.
Using multiple time frames (20-period for short-term and 200-period for long-term) can help traders spot both immediate opportunities and overarching trends.
⭐ 3. Candle Coloring Based on Key Conditions:
Bullish Signal (GreenFluroscent): When the price closes above the upper 200-period Bollinger Band, the candle turns green, indicating a potential bullish breakout.
Bearish Signal (RedFluroscent): If the price closes below the lower 200-period Bollinger Band, the candle turns red, suggesting a bearish breakout.
Neutral or Uncertain Market: Candles are gray when the price remains between the upper and lower bands, indicating a lack of a strong directional bias.
This color-coded visualization allows traders to quickly assess market sentiment based on the Bollinger Bands' extremes.
⭐ 4. Strategic Importance of the Setup:
Multi-timeframe Analysis: Combining short-term (20-period) and long-term (200-period) Bollinger Bands enables traders to assess the market's overall volatility and trend strength. The longer-term bands act as a reference for broader trend direction, while the shorter-term bands can signal shorter-term pullbacks or entry/exit points.
Breakout Identification: By color-coding the candles when prices cross either the upper or lower 200-period bands, the script makes it easier to spot potential breakouts. This can be particularly helpful in trading strategies that rely on volatility expansions or trend-following tactics.
⭐ 5. Customization and Flexibility:
Custom Colors: The script uses distinct fluorescent green and red colors to highlight key bullish and bearish conditions, providing clear visual cues.
Simplicity with Flexibility: Despite its simplicity, the script leaves room for customization, allowing traders to adjust the Bollinger Band multipliers or apply different conditions to candle coloring for more nuanced setups.
This script enhances standard Bollinger Band usage by introducing multi-timeframe analysis, breakout signals, and visual cues for trend strength, making it a powerful tool for both trend-following and mean-reversion strategies.
🚀 Conclusion:
This script effectively simplifies volatility analysis by visually marking bullish, bearish, and neutral zones, making it a robust tool for identifying trade opportunities across multiple timeframes. Its dual-band approach ensures both trend-following and mean-reversion strategies are supported.
ADX with Donchian Channels
The "ADX with Donchian Channels" indicator combines the Average Directional Index (ADX) with Donchian Channels to provide traders with a powerful tool for identifying trends and potential breakouts.
Features:
Average Directional Index (ADX):
The ADX is used to quantify the strength of a trend. It helps traders determine whether a market is trending or ranging.
Adjustable parameters for ADX smoothing and DI length allow traders to fine-tune the sensitivity of the trend strength measurement.
Donchian Channels on ADX:
Donchian Channels are applied directly to the ADX values to highlight the highest high and lowest low of the ADX over a specified period.
The upper and lower Donchian Channels can signal potential trend breakouts when the ADX value moves outside these bounds.
The middle Donchian Channel provides a reference for the average trend strength.
Visualization:
The indicator plots the ADX line in red to clearly display the trend strength.
The upper and lower Donchian Channels are plotted in blue, with a green middle line to represent the average.
The area between the upper and lower Donchian Channels is filled with a blue shade to visually emphasize the range of ADX values.
Default Settings for Scalping:
Donchian Channel Length: 10
Standard Deviation Multiplier: 1.58
ADX Length: 2
ADX Smoothing Length: 2
These default settings are optimized for scalping, offering a quick response to changes in trend strength and potential breakout signals. However, traders can adjust these settings to suit different trading styles and market conditions.
How to Use:
Trend Strength Identification: Use the ADX line to identify the strength of the current trend. Higher ADX values indicate stronger trends.
Breakout Signals: Monitor the ADX value in relation to the Donchian Channels. A breakout above the upper channel or below the lower channel can signal a potential trend continuation or reversal.
Range Identification: The filled area between the Donchian Channels provides a visual representation of the ADX range, helping traders identify when the market is ranging or trending.
This indicator is designed to enhance your trading strategy by combining trend strength measurement with breakout signals, making it a versatile tool for various market conditions.
Pivot Points - [RealFact]Description:

Key Features:
Pivot Calculation: Based on the previous period's high, low, and close prices.
Support and Resistance Levels: Three support (S1, S2) and three resistance (R1, R2) levels.
Customizable Timeframes: Applicable to various timeframes including daily, weekly, and monthly charts.
Visual Representation: Levels are clearly plotted on the chart, making it easy to identify key areas.
Trading Strategies: Useful for breakout, reversal, and trend-following strategies.
How to Use:
Identify Key Levels: Use the pivot point (P) to determine the general market trend.
Support and Resistance: Look for price reactions at S1, S2, R1 and R2 to find potential entry and exit points.
Combine with Other Indicators: Enhance analysis by combining with other technical indicators such as Moving Averages, RSI, or MACD.
Formula:
Pivot Point (P) = (High + Low + Close) / 3
Support 1 (S1) = 2P - High
Resistance 1 (R1) = 2P - Low
Support 2 (S2) = P - (High - Low)
Resistance 2 (R2) = P + (High - Low)
Best Practices:
Confirm with Volume: Look for volume confirmation when price approaches pivot levels.
Avoid False Breakouts: Be cautious of false breakouts and use other indicators to confirm price moves.
Consolidation indicator█ Overview
The "Consolidation Indicator" is a custom indicator for TradingView designed to identify consolidation periods in the price chart. Consolidation typically occurs when the price of an asset moves within a narrow range, and this indicator helps traders recognize such conditions. It can be a useful tool for traders looking to identify potential breakouts or periods of reduced volatility.
█ Indicator Settings
1 — Timeframe: This setting allows you to select the timeframe for which you want to analyze consolidation. You can choose from various timeframes available in TradingView.
2 — Price Smoothing Length: This parameter controls the smoothing of price data. You can adjust the value, with a minimum of 1, to control the level of smoothing applied to the price data.
3 — Average Range Length (range_len): This setting defines the length of the average range used in the calculation of the indicator. By default, it is set to 14.
4 — Threshold for Narrow Range (NR_threshold): The indicator will consider a price range as narrow if it falls below this threshold as a percentage of the average range. It is set to 80% by default.
5 — Consecutive Narrow Ranges for Consolidation: This parameter allows you to specify how many consecutive narrow price ranges are required to confirm a consolidation period. The default value is 3.
6 — Candle Color: You can choose the color for the consolidation candles. The default is a bright green color.
█ Indicator Output
The indicator visually displays consolidation and breakout periods on the price chart using colored candles and breakout icons.
• Candles: During a consolidation period, the indicator colorizes the candles in a specified color (default is green) with a transparency that decreases as the number of consecutive narrow ranges increases. This allows you to easily spot consolidation periods on the chart.
• Breakout Icons: The indicator also places a breakout icon (💥) below the price chart to indicate potential breakout opportunities. When a breakout condition is met, the icon appears with an orange color.
█ Alerts
The indicator provides two alert conditions:
1 — Consolidation Begins: This alert triggers when a consolidation period starts. It indicates that the price is moving within a narrow range compared to the average range.
2 — Breakout: This alert triggers when a potential breakout from the consolidation is detected.
█ How to Use
1 — Apply the "Consolidation Indicator" to your TradingView chart by adding it as a custom indicator.
2 — Customize the indicator settings based on your trading preferences, such as timeframe, smoothing length, and threshold for a narrow range.

HILOCLOP AnalysisThe "HILOCLOP Analysis" indicator is designed to analyze price data based on different conditions and provide insights into market trends and patterns. Let's break down its features and understand its potential usefulness in trading:
Sample Length: The indicator allows the user to specify the sample length, which determines the number of bars or periods considered for the analysis. This parameter can be adjusted to capture short-term or long-term trends and patterns in the market.
Raw Up/Down Analysis: The indicator calculates the number of occurrences where the current price values (high, low, open, close) are higher or lower than their previous values. It provides separate counts for each price component. By visualizing these counts on the chart, traders can identify periods of upward or downward movement in the price data.
HICLOP Analysis: The indicator offers a color scheme option called "HICLOP," which determines the color of the plotted results. If the HICLOP analysis is enabled, the plots representing raw up/down counts will have different colors based on whether the current count is higher or lower than the previous count. This color coding helps traders quickly identify changes in price trends.
Unchecking this Box will Show the general trend.
Raw HICLOP Color Scheme
Trend Color Scheme
Analysis Up vs. Down: The indicator provides an option to analyze instances where all four price components (high, low, open, close) are higher or lower than their respective previous values. This analysis helps traders identify periods of strong upward or downward movement in the market.
Analysis High vs. Low: The indicator compares the number of occurrences where the current high is higher than the previous high and the current low is higher than the previous low. It provides insights into whether the market is experiencing higher highs or higher lows, which can help traders determine the strength of an upward or downward trend.
Analysis Open vs. Close: The indicator compares the number of occurrences where the current close is higher than the previous close and the current open is higher than the previous open. This analysis helps traders assess the relationship between opening and closing prices, providing insights into the strength of buying or selling pressure in the market.
The usefulness of the "HILOCLOP Analysis" indicator in trading depends on the specific trading strategy and the trader's preferences. Here are a few potential use cases:
Trend Identification: By analyzing the raw up/down counts and the HICLOP color scheme, traders can identify trends and changes in price momentum. Increasing raw up counts and corresponding color changes to positive values may indicate an upward trend, while increasing raw down counts and negative color changes may suggest a downward trend.
Confirmation of Breakouts: Traders often look for confirmation of breakouts from key levels or chart patterns. The "Analysis Up V Dn" feature can help identify instances where all four price components simultaneously confirm a breakout, indicating a potentially significant move in the market.
Trend Reversals: The "Analysis High V Low" and "Analysis Open V Close" features can provide insights into potential trend reversals. For example, if there are more higher highs than higher lows, it may indicate a weakening trend, potentially signaling a reversal or a correction.
Donchian Volatility Indicator - Adaptive Channel WidthThis indicator is designed to help traders assess and analyze market volatility. By calculating the width of the Donchian channels, it provides valuable insights into the range of price movements over a specified period. This indicator helps traders identify periods of high and low volatility, enabling them to make more informed trading decisions.
The indicator is based on the concept of Donchian channels, which consist of the highest high and lowest low over a specified lookback period. The channel width is calculated as the difference between the upper and lower channels. A wider channel indicates higher volatility, suggesting potentially larger price movements and increased trading opportunities. On the other hand, a narrower channel suggests lower volatility, indicating a relatively calmer market environment with potentially fewer trading opportunities.
The adaptive aspect of the indicator refers to its ability to adjust the width of the channels dynamically based on market conditions. The indicator calculates the width of the channels using the Average True Range (ATR) indicator, which measures the average range of price movements over a specified period. By multiplying the ATR value with the user-defined ATR multiplier, the indicator adapts the width of the channels to reflect the current level of volatility. During periods of higher volatility, the channels expand to accommodate larger price movements, providing a broader range for assessing volatility. Conversely, during periods of lower volatility, the channels contract, reflecting the narrower price ranges and signaling a decrease in volatility. This adaptive nature allows traders to have a flexible and responsive measure of volatility, ensuring that the indicator reflects the current market conditions accurately.
To provide further insights, the indicator includes a signal line. The signal line is derived from the channel width and is calculated as a simple moving average over a specified signal period. This signal line acts as a reference level, allowing traders to compare the current channel width with the average width over a given time frame. By assessing whether the current channel width is above or below the signal line, traders can gain additional context on the volatility level in the market.
The colors used in the Donchian Volatility Indicator - Adaptive Channel Width play a vital role in visualizing the volatility levels:
-- Lime Color : When the channel width is above the signal line, it is colored lime. This color signifies that volatility has entered the market, indicating potentially higher price movements and increased trading opportunities. Traders can pay closer attention to the lime-colored channel width as it may suggest favorable conditions for trend-following or breakout trading strategies.
-- Fuchsia Color : When the channel width is below the signal line, it is colored fuchsia. This color represents relatively low volatility, suggesting a calmer market environment with potentially fewer trading opportunities. Traders may consider adjusting their strategies during periods of low volatility, such as employing range-bound or mean-reversion strategies.
-- Aqua Color : The signal line is represented by the aqua color. This color allows traders to easily identify the signal line amidst the channel width. The aqua color provides a visual reference for the average channel width and helps traders assess whether the current width is above or below this average.
The Donchian Volatility Indicator - Adaptive Channel Width has several practical applications for traders:
-- Volatility Assessment : Traders can use this indicator to assess the level of volatility in the market. By observing the width of the Donchian channels and comparing it to the signal line, they can determine whether the current volatility is relatively high or low. This information helps traders set appropriate expectations and adjust their trading strategies accordingly.
-- Breakout Trading : Wide channel widths may indicate an increased likelihood of price breakouts. Traders can use the Donchian Volatility Indicator - Adaptive Channel Width to identify potential breakout opportunities. When the channel width exceeds the signal line, it suggests a higher probability of significant price movements, potentially signaling a breakout. Traders may consider entering trades in the direction of the breakout.
-- Risk Management : The indicator can assist in setting appropriate stop-loss levels based on the current volatility. During periods of high volatility (lime-colored channel width), wider stop-loss orders may be warranted to account for larger price swings. Conversely, during periods of low volatility (fuchsia-colored channel width), narrower stop-loss orders may be appropriate to limit risk in a more range-bound market.
While the Donchian Volatility Indicator - Adaptive Channel Width is a valuable tool, it is important to consider its limitations:
-- Lagging Indicator : The indicator relies on historical price data, making it a lagging indicator. It provides insights based on past price movements and may not capture sudden changes or shifts in volatility. Traders should be aware that the indicator may not generate real-time signals and should be used in conjunction with other indicators and analysis tools.
-- False Signals : Like any technical indicator, the Donchian Volatility Indicator - Adaptive Channel Width is not immune to generating false signals. Traders should exercise caution and use additional analysis to confirm the signals generated by the indicator. Considering the broader market context and employing risk management techniques can help mitigate the impact of false signals.
-- Market Conditions : Market conditions can vary, and volatility levels can differ across different assets and timeframes. Traders should adapt their strategies and consider other market factors when interpreting the signals provided by the indicator. It is crucial to avoid relying solely on the indicator and to incorporate a comprehensive analysis of the market environment.
In conclusion, this indicator is a powerful tool for assessing market volatility. By examining the width of the Donchian channels and comparing it to the signal line, traders can gain insights into the level of volatility and adjust their trading strategies accordingly. The color-coded representation of the channel width and signal line allows for easy visualization and interpretation of the volatility dynamics. Traders should utilize this indicator as part of a broader trading approach, incorporating other technical analysis tools and considering market conditions for a comprehensive assessment of market volatility.
SuperBollingerTrend (Expo)█ Overview
The SuperBollingerTrend indicator is a combination of two popular technical analysis tools, Bollinger Bands, and SuperTrend. By fusing these two indicators, SuperBollingerTrend aims to provide traders with a more comprehensive view of the market, accounting for both volatility and trend direction. By combining trend identification with volatility analysis, the SuperBollingerTrend indicator provides traders with valuable insights into potential trend changes. It recognizes that high volatility levels often accompany stronger price momentum, which can result in the formation of new trends or the continuation of existing ones.
█ How Volatility Impacts Trends
Volatility can impact trends by expanding or contracting them, triggering trend reversals, leading to breakouts, and influencing risk management decisions. Traders need to analyze and monitor volatility levels in conjunction with trend analysis to gain a comprehensive understanding of market dynamics.
█ How to use
Trend Reversals: High volatility can result in more dramatic price fluctuations, which may lead to sharp trend reversals. For example, a sudden increase in volatility can cause a bullish trend to transition into a bearish one, or vice versa, as traders react to significant price swings.
Volatility Breakouts: Volatility can trigger breakouts in trends. Breakouts occur when the price breaks through a significant support or resistance level, indicating a potential shift in the trend. Higher volatility levels can increase the likelihood of breakouts, as they indicate stronger market momentum and increased buying or selling pressure. This indicator triggers when the volatility increases, and if the price is near a key level when the indicator alerts, it might trigger a great trend.
█ Features
Peak Signal Move
The indicator calculates the peak price move for each ZigZag and displays it under each signal. This highlights how much the market moved between the signals.
Average ZigZag Move
All price moves between two signals are stored, and the average or the median is calculated and displayed in a table. This gives traders a great idea of how much the market moves on average between two signals.
Take Profit
The Take Profit line is placed at the average or the median price move and gives traders a great idea of what they can expect in average profit from the latest signals.

Trap Trading
Trap trading is a trading strategy that seeks to profit from false breakouts in financial markets. This strategy is based on the idea that when the market breaks through a key level of support or resistance, many traders will take that as a signal to enter or exit trades, causing the price to move further in the breakout direction.
However, in some cases, the market will quickly reverse course and move in the opposite direction, trapping those traders who entered the trade based on the breakout. This can create a trading opportunity for those who are able to identify the false breakout and trade in the opposite direction.
The trap trading strategy typically involves identifying a key level of support or resistance on a price chart and then waiting for the market to break through that level. If the price continues to move in the breakout direction, the trader may enter a trade in that direction with a stop loss set just below the breakout level.
However, if the market quickly reverses and moves back below the breakout level, the trader may enter a trade in the opposite direction with a stop loss set just above the breakout level. The idea is to take advantage of the trapped traders who entered the trade based on the false breakout, and profit from the market's reversal.
As with any trading strategy, there are risks and potential drawbacks to trap trading. False breakouts can be difficult to identify, and there is always the risk that the market will continue to move in the breakout direction, resulting in losses for the trader. Additionally, trap trading requires a solid understanding of technical analysis and market trends, which may take time and experience to develop.
Smart MACD Crossover█ OVERVIEW
Smart MACD Crossover is an indicator designed for traders who trade based on MACD line crossovers. It significantly reduces the number of false crossover signals by adding a breakout-box confirmation mechanism. Price must close outside the box created at the moment of the MACD crossover for a signal to trigger. The script also includes optional scaled MACD lines on the price chart, candle coloring, multi-layer “fog” visualization, fully customizable entry signals, automatic Take Profit / Stop Loss levels and a real-time table.
█ CONCEPTS
Standard MACD crossovers frequently produce noise, especially in ranging markets. Smart MACD Crossover attempts to solve this issue: a horizontal box is drawn at the exact bar where the crossover occurs, and a trade signal is generated only when price actually breaks out of that box. By default, the show_only_matching filter is enabled — signals are shown only when the breakout direction matches the original MACD crossover direction (bullish box → long only, bearish box → short only).
█ FEATURES
Fully configurable classic MACD (default 12/26/9)
Optional MACD & Signal lines scaled and plotted directly on the price chart (show_macd_overlay)
Trend-based candle coloring
One-Side Histogram Fog:
- 6 layers above and 6 layers below hl2
- layer height based on average candle size × offset_mult (default 0.7)
- increasing transparency (base 80 + increment 4) for depth effect
- fully customizable colors
Breakout Boxes:
- created on every MACD crossover
- default height = high-low of the signal candle
- optional extension using average candle size × box_multiplier
- semi-transparent fill (85) with colored borders, extended right until breakout
Signals:
- Triangles or “BUY” / “SELL” labels
- show_only_matching filter (enabled by default) — only direction-consistent breakouts generate signals
- when disabled, every box breakout generates a signal according to breakout direction
- Built-in alerts: BUY and SELL
Take Profit / Stop Loss:
- TP1, TP2, TP3 and SL levels drawn automatically after each confirmed signal
- two modes: Candle Multiplier (based on average candle size) or Percentage
- all multipliers/percentages fully adjustable in “Risk Management Settings”
- real-time table in the top-right corner showing current TP/SL prices
█ HOW TO USE
Add via Pine Editor → paste code → Add to Chart.
Settings overview:
- MACD Settings: lengths and source
- Risk Management Settings: TP/SL mode, multipliers/percentages, average candle period
- MACD Overlay Lines: toggle scaled MACD lines on price chart
- Fog: enable/disable, adjust height and transparency
- Visual Settings: candle coloring
- Boxes: optional size multiplier (use_box_multiplier)
- Signals: choose Triangles or Labels, enable/disable direction filter
Signal meaning:
- Triangle below bar / “BUY” label → upward breakout from a box created after bullish MACD crossover
- Triangle above bar / “SELL” label → downward breakout from a box created after bearish MACD crossover
- Open boxes = pending breakout zones
- Fog below price = bullish pressure, fog above price = bearish pressure
█ APPLICATIONS
The indicator reduces false signals coming from plain MACD crossovers. For additional trend confirmation, the scaled MACD lines can be enabled.
Entry into a position is triggered by the BUY/SELL signal generated after the breakout. The TP1–TP3 and SL levels are drawn automatically only for convenience and as a quick reference – they are fully optional and traders can (and usually should) use their own preferred exit strategies, trailing stops, partial closes, or other money-management methods.
█ NOTES
- Due to MACD line scaling onto the price chart, classic MACD divergences cannot be identified

What You See on the Chart
Orange line: The CCI zero line (20-period SMA of typical price, hlc3)—acts as the baseline.
Aqua line: Dynamic upper band at CCI = +100 (overbought threshold).
Purple line: Dynamic lower band at CCI = -100 (oversold threshold).
Optional thick purple line: The extra SMA of CCI (14-period smooth) scaled back to price—serves as a signal line for crossovers.
Optional outer zones: ±200 bands (aqua/purple extensions) for extreme momentum levels, often added as dotted or filled areas to spot blow-off tops/bottoms.
Key Differences from Regular CCI
Standard CCI lives in a lower pane with fixed horizontal lines at +100, 0, and -100, forcing you to split your focus. This version overlays everything on price: the bands curve with market volatility, the zero line becomes a moving average, and the extra SMA/signal line integrates seamlessly for price-action trading. Plus, it naturally supports outer ±200 zones without extra coding, making extremes visually pop.
How Traders Use It
Momentum breakouts: Buy when price closes above the +100 aqua band (or +200 for aggressive entries); sell below -100 purple (or -200).
Mean reversion: Fade touches on the bands—take profits if price rejects the +100/-100 levels, or watch for exhaustion at ±200.
Trend bias: Price above orange zero = bullish filter; below = bearish. Use the extra SMA for confirmation (e.g., price crossing above it signals upside).
Crossover signals: Price vs. the thick purple SMA line—bullish above, bearish below—pairs perfectly with band breaks.
Range trading: Treat ±100 bands as dynamic support/resistance; outer ±200 zones highlight potential breakout setups.
This setup shines in trending markets (e.g., stocks or forex on 1H/daily charts), turning CCI into a one-glance channel system. Start with the defaults, add the ±200 and extra SMA via simple code tweaks, and backtest for your style—it's versatile and reduces screen clutter dramatically.
More Info
The 20 period MA is the original and still the most common setting for CCI, and it is exactly what the creator of the CCI, Donald Lambert, published it in 1980 with these exact parameters:
Length: 20 periods
Constant: 0.015 (to make CCI fall between +100 and –100 about 70–80 % of the time)
Typical Price: hlc3 (or sometimes (high + low + close)/3)
Deviation measure: Mean Deviation (not standard deviation)
So the “Trinity CCI Pro Plus” you are using is 100 % faithful to Lambert’s original design when the length is set to 20.
Dark Vector ScalpingThe Dark Vector Scalping indicator is a high-frequency trend-following system designed specifically to capture rapid momentum shifts in the market. It combines a staircase-style breakout logic with volatility-adjusted trailing stops to define market direction.
While the underlying math is robust enough for various asset classes, this specific configuration is optimized for scalping operations on 1-minute and 5-minute timeframes. It aims to filter out the "noise" common in lower timeframes while reacting quickly to genuine breakouts.
Core Components
1. The Apex Engine (Staircase Logic) Unlike traditional moving averages that curve with price, this engine uses a "hard" breakout logic. It looks back at a specific number of bars (Sensitivity) to find the highest highs and lowest lows.
Bullish Flip: Occurs when the price closes below the calculated low of the previous trend.
Bearish Flip: Occurs when the price closes above the calculated high of the previous trend.
Trailing Stop: Once a trend is established, a trailing stop line is drawn. This line only moves in the direction of the trend (up for bullish, down for bearish) and never retraces, acting as a ratchet to lock in paper profits.
2. Volatility Normalization To prevent getting stopped out by random market noise (scam wicks), the indicator calculates the Average True Range (ATR). It multiplies this volatility metric by a user-defined deviation factor to determine exactly how far the stop line should be from the current price action.
3. The Hull Moving Average (HMA) Filter The script includes an optional 50-period Hull Moving Average. The HMA is known for being extremely fast and smooth, reducing lag compared to standard moving averages.
Visual Reference: You can plot the line to see the overall macro trend.
Hard Filter: You can enable a "Safety Filter" in the settings. If enabled, the system will only generate Buy signals if the price is above the HMA, and Sell signals if the price is below the HMA.
4. The Dashboard A data panel is located on the chart (customizable position) to provide instant numerical data without needing to calculate levels manually. It displays the current trend state, the exact price of the trailing stop, and the status of the HMA filter.
Settings & Configuration
Sensitivity (Lookback)
Default: 5
This is the primary setting for the Apex Engine. A setting of 5 is the "sweet spot" for 1-minute and 5-minute charts. It allows the system to react very quickly to sudden volume spikes. Increasing this number (e.g., to 10) will make the signals slower and more conservative.
Stop Deviation
Default: 3.0
This controls the "breathing room" for the trade. A value of 3.0 allows for standard volatility on minute charts without triggering a premature exit. Lowering this to 2.0 will result in tighter stops but more false signals.
HMA Filter
Use HMA as Filter? (Default: OFF):
When OFF, the system signals purely on price action breakouts (fastest).
When ON, the system waits for the price to align with the 50-period HMA before signaling (safest, but may delay entry).
How to Interpret Visuals
Candle Colors
Teal/Green: The market is in a Bullish regime.
Red/Pink: The market is in a Bearish regime.
The Line
The solid stepped line represents the hard invalidation point. If price closes beyond this line, the trend is considered over.
Diamond Signals
Light Green Diamond (Below Bar): Confirmed Buy Signal. A new bullish trend has started.
Light Red/Pink Diamond (Above Bar): Confirmed Sell Signal. A new bearish trend has started.
Trading Strategy Guide
The Scalp Entry
Ensure you are on a 1-minute or 5-minute timeframe.
Wait for a signal Diamond to close. Do not enter while the bar is still forming, as the signal may repaint (disappear) if the price retraces before the close.
Long Entry: Enter when a Green Diamond appears and the candle turns Teal.
Short Entry: Enter when a Red Diamond appears and the candle turns Red.
Risk Management
Stop Loss: Your invalidation level is the "Apex Stop" line. You can place your hard stop loss slightly beyond this line.
Take Profit: Because this is a trend-following system, it is often best to hold until the candle color changes, or to take profit at fixed Risk:Reward ratios (e.g., 1:1.5 or 1:2).
The HMA Nuance If you find the market is "choppy" (moving sideways), enable the "Use HMA as Filter" option in the settings. This will force the system to ignore signals that are counter-trend to the longer-term momentum.

💡 PRO TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS
1. COMBINE WITH MINERVINI INDICATOR
Use BOTH indicators together:
✓ VCP Detector = Base quality
✓ Minervini = Trend + RS + Volume
Result = Best high-probability setups
2. PREFER ⭐⭐⭐⭐+ QUALITY BASES
Don't trade ⭐⭐ or ⭐ quality bases
Only trade ⭐⭐⭐+ (ideally ⭐⭐⭐⭐+)
Higher quality = Higher win rate
3. WAIT FOR VOLUME CONFIRMATION
Base must show "Vol Dry: YES"
Breakout must have 1.3x+ volume
Low volume breakouts fail often
4. USE 1D TIMEFRAME ONLY
This indicator optimized for daily charts
Intraday = Too many false signals
Weekly = Misses good setups
5. MONITOR MULTIPLE BASES (VCP PATTERN)
Multiple bases getting tighter = VCP pattern
Each base should be better quality than last
Tightest base = Biggest breakout
6. COMBINE WITH 52W CONTEXT
Dashboard shows "From 52W Hi" and "From 52W Lo"
Price should be in sweet zone:
< 25% from 52W high (uptrend territory)
> 30% above 52W low (not oversold)
7. BACKTEST FIRST
Use TradingView Replay
Go back 6-12 months
See how many bases appeared
See which were profitable

SPY Sniper Levels [Day Trader]Here is a professional, concise description you can copy and paste directly into the TradingView publication description box. I’ve written it to appeal to other serious price action traders.
***
**Title:** SPY Sniper Levels
**Description:**
Designed for high-speed day trading on **SPY** and major indices. This lightweight script eliminates the need for manual morning prep by automatically plotting the four critical liquidity zones that institutional algorithms target every session.
**Features:**
* **PDH / PDL (Solid Lines):** Previous Day High & Low. These are the major "walls" for the session.
* **PMH / PML (Dotted Circles):** Pre-Market High & Low. These levels automatically track during the pre-market session (04:00–09:30 EST) and **lock** the moment the market opens. This creates a static reference for Opening Range Breakouts (ORB).
**How to Trade This Setup:**
1. **The Breakout:** Look for high-volume candles closing outside the PMH/PML in the first 30 minutes.
2. **The Fade:** Watch for "traps" (long wicks) at the PDH/PDL to fade the price back toward VWAP.
3. **The Trend:** If price holds above the PDH, look for a trend day. If it fails to break the PML, look for a chop day.
**Best Settings:**
* Optimized for **1m, 2m, and 5m** timeframes.
* Works best on Dark Mode charts.
