Untouched ExtremesWhat it is
Untouched Extremes plots horizontal levels at green-candle highs and red-candle lows. Each level is considered “untouched” (clean liquidity) until price revisits it; on the first valid touch the line auto-deletes, keeping only live targets on your chart.
How it works (logic)
Bar close event
If close > open, the script draws a line at that bar’s high and extends it to the right.
If close < open, it draws a line at that bar’s low and extends it to the right.
(Optional) Perfect/almost-dojis can be classified as green or red via settings.
Touch & removal
A green-high line is removed when any later bar’s high ≥ level (optionally within a tick tolerance).
A red-low line is removed when any later bar’s low ≤ level (optionally within a tick tolerance).
You can delay deletion by N bars to make the touch visible before the line disappears.
Housekeeping
Maximum active lines per side and line styling are user-configurable.
Why it’s useful
Untouched highs/lows often coincide with resting liquidity and incomplete price probes. Tracking them helps:
Define targets and magnets price may seek.
Frame mean-reversion rotations after a failed push.
Keep the chart clean: only levels that have not been traded are displayed.
How to use it (trading idea)
Confirmation rule: Treat the line as a level/zone. Price can pierce it; wait for a clear reversal candle pattern (e.g., pin bar, engulfing, strong momentum shift) at or immediately after the touch.
Directional play:
If a bullish reversal pattern forms at/around a red-low line, the working assumption is that price will move toward the first untouched upper line (nearest green-high line above). Many traders use that as the primary target.
Conversely, if a bearish reversal pattern forms at/around a green-high line, expect rotation toward the first untouched lower line.
Risk management: Stops typically go just beyond the level or beyond the pattern’s wick. Consider a fixed R:R (e.g., 1:2) and partials at intermediate levels.
Settings
Doji handling: Choose how to classify close ≈ open bars (Green / Red / Ignore). A small equality margin (ticks) helps with rounding on some symbols.
Touch tolerance (ticks): Counts near-misses as touches if desired.
Deletion delay (bars): Wait N bars after creation before a line becomes eligible for deletion.
Max lines per side / width / colors: Keep the view readable.
Tips
Works on any symbol/timeframe; lower TFs produce more levels—adjust Max lines accordingly.
Combining with a trend filter (e.g., EMA-200), ATR distance, or volume clues can improve selectivity.
If spreads or wicks are noisy, increase tolerance slightly and/or use deletion delay to visualize touches.
Note: This tool provides structure and potential targets, not signals by itself. Always require your reversal pattern as confirmation and manage risk appropriately.

Daily Start Vertical Lines (≤1H)This indicator automatically plots vertical lines at the start of each new trading day, based on the selected chart’s timezone. Unlike the default daily session boundaries (which often start at 17:00 New York time), this tool ensures that lines are drawn precisely at 00:00 midnight of the chart’s timezone.
🔹 Features:
Plots a vertical line at every new day start (midnight).
Fully time-zone aware → lines adjust automatically when you change the chart’s timezone.
Customizable line style, width, and color.
Option to limit plotting to specific timeframes (e.g., show only on ≤ 1H charts).
Lightweight & optimized (does not clutter higher-timeframe charts).
🔹 Use Cases:
Quickly identify daily boundaries for intraday analysis.
Helps scalpers and day traders align trades with new day opens.
Useful for strategies that depend on daily session resets.
This tool is especially helpful for traders who want clarity when working across different time zones.
Advance Trading SystemThis Price Action + Volume based indicator combines Multi‑Timeframe swing structure, volume ranking, liquidity zones and auto long/short signal generation to create an “Advance Trading System” that displays OB (order block‑like) levels, dashboard and entry/exit labels on the chart.
What this indicator does
Looks at recent candles on different timeframes to determine if the trend is more “bullish” or “bearish” (considers it bullish if at least 2 out of 3 timeframes agree).
Picks up the recent swing points where the price can reverse and plots green/red lines on them (called “Buy OB”/“Sell OB” here).
Shows when volume has increased, whether the bar is an inside-bar or not, and a small dashboard in the top-right that shows the trend, reversal levels, volume and LTF/HTF signals.
What are the buttons/settings
Swing Strength: Based on how many bars the recent swing high/low will be confirmed; if the number increases, the signal will come late but with more confidence.
Volume Avg Period: How many bars the volume should be averaged from; this checks “whether the volume is strong or not”.
Show HH/HL/LH/LL Labels: Switch to show/hide swing labels by writing them on the chart.
Show Dashboard: Small panel on/off in the top-right.
Signal Mode: Auto, Long Only, Short Only or Both—that is, whether to follow the auto-trend or see only buy/sell.
LTF/HTF: Choose lower and higher timeframes; also 15m/30m/1h/4h are scanned in the background to understand the recent direction.
How to identify trends and swings
Candle patterns: Simple rule—if the latest candle is biased (e.g. a strong bull/bear or a particularly long wick candle), then the signal for that TF is 1 (bull) or -1 (bear); otherwise 0.
Three TFs: Lower, Mid (which is the chart TF), and Higher—the non-zero signal is considered the “last known direction”; then the number of the three is counted as bull/bear.
Swing high/low: The most recent “solid” high/low on the chart is considered the highest/lowest within a few bars to the left or right; this indicates whether the new high is above (HH) or below (LH) the old one, and whether the new low is above (HL) or below (LL).
What are the green/red lines
If the trend is bullish (at least 2 out of 3 TFs are bullish), a green line is drawn near the previous confirmed low—here it is called Buy OB; the idea is that if the price comes near this zone, a bounce is expected.
On a bearish trend, a red line is drawn near the previous confirmed high—Sell OB—which means if the price comes near that zone, a drop is expected.
Volume colors and inside-bars
color of each bar is determined by the volume ranking: orange/yellow for low volume, varying shades of blue for high volume; if an inside-bar is formed (both high/low inside the previous bar) the bar is darkened to draw attention.
Simple estimation of liquidity zone
When the recent swing high is formed, the total volume is looked at in the surrounding few bars (eg: 3-3 bars before/after) and the upper/lower edge is noted where the maximum concentration is - this is considered as the liquidity zone.
The same is done for the high TF as well and the average of both is taken to form an MTF zone to get a big-picture picture.
What the dashboard shows
Trend (Multi‑TF): HL/HH indicates bullish trend, LH/LL indicates bearish trend; color green/red.
Reversal Level: Level where the recent reversal was confirmed (high/low of the last confirmed swing).
Volume vs Prev: Volume higher/lower/equal to the previous bar.
Volume: Raw number, color green/red depending on whether Price is buy or sell.
LTF/HTF: Last received signal as BUY/SELL.
How entry/exit signals are formed
Basic conditions:
Mood bias: at least 2 TFs in the same direction.
Volume strength: current volume is well above average and higher than the previous bar—i.e. there is real juice.
Near zone: price is in a small band around the green/red line (e.g. within about -2% to +1% for Buy).
Long Entry : all three conditions above are met on the previous close of the bar in the buy direction; Short Entry is the opposite. Exit rule is also placed on the previous bar of the opposite signal, so that everything is on a “confirmed close” and false shocks are minimized.
Labels: once the signal is confirmed, the labels “LONG ENTRY”, “LONG EXIT”, “SHORT ENTRY”, “SHORT EXIT” are applied to the chart on the previous bar itself, with a small ATR-based gap for clear reading.
How Auto/Manual modes work
Auto (TF Based): The system will decide whether to look at Long Only, Short Only, or Both—depending on the Multi‑TF trend.
Long Only/Short Only: Only signals from that side will be generated; Both will generate both.
What to look for in the limits
Swing confirmation takes time, as you have to wait for a few bars to the right—so the signal is more reliable with a slight delay.
The term “OB” is used here for a simple level; this is not pro-level order-block detection (such as with FVG/break-off-structure), but it works well with this system.
Volume ranking is simple; ties are possible at equal volume, which can reduce precision in color-coding.
How to use
First check the trend from the dashboard: focus on the buy zone if HL/HH, sell zone if LH/LL.
Then check if there is a volume spike; without volume confirmation it is better to skip signals.
When the price is right near the green/red line, only work with a confirmed signal on the previous close bar, avoid rushing in between.
This can be made more robust if desired by adding true order‑block, FVG, and additional confirmations (such as RSI/MACD/Structure Break); but the base idea is to combine multi‑timeframe trend + swing levels + volume strength + zone close to produce simple, Tradeable and confirmed signals.

Candlestick Patterns Dashboard Pro+ [ULTIMATE]Unleash the power of automated candlestick analysis with the most comprehensive and customizable pattern detection tool on TradingView. This is not just another pattern scanner; it's a complete trading dashboard designed to identify, score, and confirm high-probability setups, saving you hours of manual chart analysis.
Built with performance and reliability in mind, this script goes beyond simple detection by introducing a unique reliability score for every pattern, advanced confirmation filters, and a powerful on-screen dashboard to keep you informed.
Key Features
📈 Comprehensive Pattern Detection: Automatically identifies 13 of the most effective candlestick patterns, including Bullish/Bearish Engulfing, Hammer, Shooting Star, Doji, Morning/Evening Star, and more.
🔟 Dynamic Reliability Scoring: Every pattern is assigned a score from 1-10 based on its confirmation strength. Factors include candle body size, volume confirmation, trend alignment, and higher-timeframe confluence, giving you a quantifiable measure of a pattern's potential.
📊 The Ultimate Dashboard: Your at-a-glance command center. The on-screen dashboard provides a complete summary of all active patterns, showing you exactly when they last occurred and highlighting the most recent signals. It also includes an "Overall Bias" meter for a quick sentiment check.
🛡️ Trade Smarter with Advanced Confirmation Filters: Eliminate low-quality signals and focus on what matters.
Trend Alignment: Use SMA(50) and SMA(200) to only show patterns that agree with the dominant market trend.
Volume Confirmation: Validate patterns by requiring a surge in volume.
Non-Repainting HTF Confirmation: Ensure your patterns align with the trend on a higher timeframe (e.g., Daily trend for a 4H signal) using a reliable, non-repainting method.
Market Condition Filter: Isolate patterns that occur only in "Trending" or "Ranging" markets.
Time Filter: Restrict pattern detection to specific trading sessions.
🔧 ‘Fuzzy Logic’ for Real-World Trading: Textbook patterns are rare. Use the "Fuzzy Logic" settings to adjust the criteria for patterns like the Hammer, Piercing Line, and Doji, allowing you to catch imperfect but still valid real-world formations.
⚙️ Fully Customizable Scoring: You decide what's important! Adjust the bonus scores for volume, trend, and other factors to create a scoring system that perfectly aligns with your trading strategy.
🚨 Powerful & Customizable Alerts: Never miss an opportunity.

Customize the alert messages to be compatible with your favorite trading automation services.
🚀 Performance Optimized: A "Max Bars Back" setting ensures the script runs smoothly and efficiently, even on lower-end devices or extensive historical data.
How To Use This Indicator
For Confirmation: The primary strength of this tool is for confirmation. Do not trade based on patterns alone. Use the detected signals to confirm your own analysis, such as a pattern appearing at a key support/resistance level, a trendline, or a Fibonacci retracement. A Bullish Engulfing pattern at a major support level is a much stronger signal than one appearing in the middle of a range.
For Discovery: Use the Dashboard to quickly scan through your favorite assets. A dashboard full of recent bullish signals on one asset, and bearish on another, can instantly help you focus your attention for the day.
Customizing for Your Style:
Start with the Market Presets ("Forex," "Stocks," "Crypto") for a solid baseline.
Dive into the Scoring Weights to tell the indicator what you value most. A pure volume trader might increase the Volume Bonus score.
Adjust the Fuzzy Logic settings based on your market's volatility. A volatile crypto market might require a more lenient Doji definition than a stable blue-chip stock.
Setting Up Alerts:
Add the indicator to your chart.
Click the "Alert" button in the TradingView toolbar.
Set the "Condition" to "Candlestick Patterns Dashboard Pro+ ".
Choose the specific alert you want from the dropdown (e.g., "Bullish Pattern Detected," "Bearish Pattern Cluster").
Customize the message if needed and click "Create."

Trend CandlesTrend Candles
Overview
The Trend Candles indicator is a simple yet effective tool designed to help traders visually identify the prevailing market trend. By combining candle coloring with a trend-based Exponential Moving Average (EMA), it enhances chart readability and makes trend-following strategies easier to apply.
Concepts
Exponential Moving Average (EMA): The EMA is a moving average that places more weight on recent price data. It reacts faster to price changes compared to a Simple Moving Average (SMA), making it well-suited for trend detection.
Trend Determination:
- If the EMA is rising (current EMA > previous EMA), the market is considered bullish.
- If the EMA is falling (current EMA < previous EMA), the market is considered bearish.
- If the EMA is flat (no significant change), no trend color is applied.
Candle Coloring:
- Green candles = Uptrend
- Purple candles = Downtrend
- Default candles = Sideways/Flat EMA
Features
- Trend Visualization: Candles automatically change color based on EMA slope, making it easy to spot bullish and bearish phases.
- Customizable EMA Length: The trader can set the EMA period (default is 50), allowing flexibility for short-term or long-term trend analysis.
- Overlay EMA Line: An orange EMA line is plotted on the chart for additional confirmation of the trend.
- Clean & Minimalist: Focuses on trend clarity without cluttering the chart with unnecessary signals.
How to Use
1. Apply the indicator to your chart.
2. Adjust the EMA Length as per your trading style (shorter = faster signals, longer = smoother trend).
3. Follow the candle color:
- Green = Favor long entries.
- Purple = Favor short entries.
- No color = Stay cautious, as trend is unclear.
4. Use with other confirmation tools (support/resistance, volume, or oscillators).
5. Users are encouraged to experiment with different EMA lengths. The default length is 50, but you can explore other values based on your needs. In particular, try Fibonacci numbers such as 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, and 233 to observe how trends behave differently.

25 Day and 125 Day EMA Trend IndicatorThe "25 and 125 EMA Trend indicator," is a powerful yet simple tool designed for use on any TradingView chart. Its primary purpose is to help traders visually identify both short-term and long-term trends in the market.
How the Script Works
The script is built around two Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), which are a type of moving average that gives more weight to recent price data. This makes them more responsive to current market changes than a Simple Moving Average (SMA). The two EMAs are:
Fast EMA (25-day): Represented by the blue line, this EMA reacts quickly to price fluctuations. It's excellent for identifying the current short-term direction and momentum of the asset.
Slow EMA (125-day): Represented by the purple line, this EMA smooths out price action over a much longer period. It's used to determine the underlying, long-term trend of the market.
Trading Signals and Interpretation
The real value of this script comes from observing the relationship between the two EMA lines.
Uptrend: When the blue (25-day) EMA is above the purple (125-day) EMA, it indicates that the short-term trend is stronger than the long-term trend, signaling a bullish or upward-moving market.
Downtrend: Conversely, when the blue EMA is below the purple EMA, it suggests that the short-term trend is weaker, indicating a bearish or downward-moving market.
Cross-overs: The most important signals are often generated when the two lines cross.
A bullish cross (or "golden cross") occurs when the blue EMA crosses above the purple EMA. This can be a signal that a new, strong uptrend is beginning.
A bearish cross (or "death cross") occurs when the blue EMA crosses below the purple EMA. This may signal the start of a new downtrend.
Customisation
The script includes user-friendly input fields that allow you to customise the lengths of both EMAs directly from the indicator's settings on the chart. This lets you experiment with different time frames and tailor the indicator to your specific trading strategy.

Recent Range DetectorOverview
The Recent Range Detector is a specialized indicator designed to identify when an asset is currently range-bound, providing traders with clear support and resistance levels for range trading strategies. Unlike traditional indicators that focus on trend detection, this tool specifically answers the question: "Is the price range-bound right now, and what are the exact trading levels?"
Key Features
✅ Smart Range Detection - Uses a multi-factor scoring system to identify legitimate ranges
✅ Dynamic Support/Resistance Levels - Automatically calculates and displays key trading levels
✅ Range Quality Scoring - Provides confidence levels (Strong/Moderate/Weak Range)
✅ Touch Validation - Counts actual price touches to confirm range reliability
✅ Breakout Detection - Alerts when price exits the established range
✅ Visual Clarity - Clean boxes, lines, and labels for easy interpretation
How It Works
The indicator analyses recent price action using three core metrics:
Touch Quality (40%) - How many times price has respected support/resistance levels
Containment Quality (40%) - What percentage of recent bars stayed within the range
Recent Respect (20%) - Whether the latest price action confirms the range
These combine into a Range Score (0-1) that determines range strength and reliability.
Settings & Parameters
Range Lookback Period (Default: 15)
Number of bars to analyse for range detection
Shorter periods = more responsive to recent ranges
Longer periods = more stable, fewer false signals
Range Tolerance (Default: 2.0%)
Tolerance for price touches around exact highs/lows
Lower values = stricter range requirements
Higher values = more flexible range detection
Minimum Touches (Default: 3)
Required number of support/resistance touches for valid range
Higher values = more confirmed ranges, fewer signals
Lower values = more sensitive, earlier detection
Visual Options
Show Range Box: Displays the range boundaries
Show Support/Resistance Lines: Extends levels into the future
Understanding the Output
Range Score (0.000 - 1.000)
0.7+ = Strong Range (Green) - High confidence range trading setup
0.5-0.7 = Moderate Range (Yellow) - Decent range with some caution
0.3-0.5 = Weak Range (Orange) - Low confidence, be careful
<0.3 = Not Ranging - Avoid range trading strategies
Range Status Classifications
Strong Range - Perfect for range trading strategies
Moderate Range - Good range with normal risk
Weak Range - Marginal range, use smaller positions
Not Ranging - Price is trending or too choppy for range trading
Key Metrics in Info Table
Range Size (%) - Size of the range relative to price level
5-15% = Ideal range size for most strategies
<5% = Tight range, lower profit potential
>15% = Wide range, higher profit potential but more risk
Support/Resistance Levels - Exact price levels for entries/exits
Use these as your key trading levels
Support = potential buy zone
Resistance = potential sell zone
Total Touches - Number of times price respected the levels
3-5 touches = Newly formed range
6-10 touches = Well-established range
10+ touches = Very strong, reliable range
Price Position (%) - Current location within the range
0-20% = Near support (potential long opportunity)
80-100% = Near resistance (potential short opportunity)
40-60% = Middle of range (wait for better entry)
Visual Elements
Range Box
Green Box = Strong Range (Score ≥ 0.7)
Yellow Box = Moderate Range (Score 0.5-0.7)
Orange Box = Weak Range (Score 0.3-0.5)
Support/Resistance Lines
- Horizontal lines showing exact trading levels
- Extend into the future for forward guidance
- Colour matches the range strength
Background Colouring
- Subtle background tint during range periods
- Helps quickly identify ranging vs trending markets
Breakout Signals
- 📈 RANGE BREAK UP - Price breaks above resistance
- 📉 RANGE BREAK DOWN - Price breaks below support
- Only appears for confirmed ranges (Score ≥ 0.5)
Trading Applications
Range Trading Strategy
1. Look for Range Score ≥ 0.5
2. Buy near support (Price Position 0-20%)
3. Sell near resistance (Price Position 80-100%)
4. Set stops just outside the range
5. Exit on breakout signals
Breakout Strategy
1. Identify strong ranges (Score ≥ 0.7)
2. Wait for volume-confirmed breakout
3. Enter in breakout direction
4. Use previous resistance as support (or vice versa)
Market Context
- Strong ranges often occur after trending moves
- Use higher timeframes to confirm overall market structure
- Combine with volume analysis for better entries/exits
Best Practices
What to Look For
✅ Range Score ≥ 0.5 for trading consideration
✅ Multiple touches (5+) for confirmation
✅ Clear price rejection at levels
✅ Reasonable range size (5-15% for most assets)
✅ Recent price respect of boundaries
What to Avoid
❌ Trading ranges with Score < 0.3
❌ Very tight ranges (<3% size) - low profit potential
❌ Ranges with only 1-2 touches - not confirmed
❌ Ignoring breakout signals
❌ Trading against the higher timeframe trend
Alerts Available
- Range Detected - New range formation
- Range Break Up - Upward breakout
- Range Break Down - Downward breakout
- Range Ended - Range condition ended
Timeframe Recommendations
- Daily Charts - Best for swing trading ranges
- 4H Charts - Good for intermediate-term ranges
- 1H Charts - Suitable for day trading ranges
- Lower Timeframes - May produce more noise
Conclusion
The Recent Range Detector eliminates guesswork in range identification by providing objective, quantified range analysis. It's particularly valuable for traders who prefer range-bound strategies or need to identify when trending strategies should be avoided.
Remember: No indicator is perfect. Always combine with proper risk management, volume analysis, and broader market context for best results.

TSI Indicator with Trailing StopAuthor: ProfitGang
Type: Indicator (visual + alerts). No orders are executed.
What it does
This tool combines the True Strength Index (TSI) with a simple tick-based trailing stop visualizer.
It plots buy/sell markers from a TSI cross with momentum confirmation and, if enabled, draws a trailing stop line that “ratchets” in your favor. It also shows a compact info table (position state, entry price, trailing status, and unrealized ticks).
Signal logic (summary)
TSI is computed with double EMA smoothing (user lengths).
Signals:
Buy when TSI crosses above its signal line and momentum (TSI–Signal histogram) improves, with TSI above your Buy Threshold.
Sell when TSI crosses below its signal line and momentum weakens, with TSI below your Sell Threshold.
Confirmation: Optional “Confirm on bar close” setting evaluates signals on closed bars to reduce repaint risk.
Trailing stop (visual only)
Units are ticks (uses the symbol’s min tick).
Start Trailing After (ticks): activates the trail only once price has moved in your favor by the set amount.
Trailing Stop (ticks): distance from price once active.
For longs: stop = close - trail; it never moves down.
For shorts: stop = close + trail; it never moves up.
Exits shown on chart when the trailing line is touched or an opposite signal occurs.
Note: This is a simulation for visualization and does not place, manage, or guarantee broker orders.
Inputs you can tune
TSI Settings: Long Length, Short Length, Signal Length, Buy/Sell thresholds, Confirm on Close.
Trailing Stop: Start Trailing After (ticks), Trailing Stop (ticks), Show/Hide trailing lines.
Display: Toggle chart signals, info table, and (optionally) TSI plots on the price chart.
Alerts included
TSI Buy / TSI Sell
Long/Short Trailing Activated
Long/Short Trail Exit
Tips for use
Timeframes/markets: Works on any symbol/timeframe that reports a valid min tick. If your market has large ticks, adjust the tick inputs accordingly.
TSI view: By default, TSI lines are hidden to avoid rescaling the price chart. Enable “Show TSI plots on price chart” if you want to see the oscillator inline.
Non-repainting note: With Confirm on bar close enabled, signals are evaluated on closed bars. Intrabar previews can change until the bar closes—this is expected behavior in TradingView.
Limitations
This is an indicator for education/research. It does not execute trades, and visuals may differ from actual broker fills.
Performance varies by market conditions; thresholds and trail settings should be tested by the user.
Disclaimer
Nothing here is financial advice. Markets involve risk, including possible loss of capital. Always do your own research and test on a demo before using any tool in live trading.

Point of Control (POC): The single price level with the highest traded volume, acting as a powerful magnet for price.
Value Area High (VAH): The upper boundary of the area where 50% of the volume was traded. It often acts as resistance.
Value Area Low (VAL): The lower boundary of the 50% value area, often acting as support.
Extended Levels: The POC, VAH, and VAL from previous sessions are automatically extended into the current day, providing a clear map of potential support and resistance zones.
Customizable Sessions: While optimized for the US stock market, you can define any session time and time zone, making it a versatile tool for forex, crypto, and futures traders.
Core Trading Strategies
The Simple Volume Profile helps you understand market context. Instead of trading blind, you can now make decisions based on where the market has shown the most interest.
1. Identifying Support and Resistance
This is the most direct way to use the indicator. The extended lines from the previous day are your roadmap for the current session.
Previous Day's POC (pPOC): This is the most significant level. Watch for price to react strongly here. It can act as powerful support if approached from above or strong resistance if approached from below.
Previous Day's VAH (pVAH): Expect this level to act as initial resistance. A clean break above pVAH can signal a strong bullish trend.
Previous Day's VAL (pVAL): Expect this level to act as initial support. A firm break below pVAL can indicate a strong bearish trend.
Example Strategy: If SPY opens and rallies up to the previous day's VAH and stalls, this is a high-probability area to look for a short entry, with a stop loss just above the level.
2. The "Open-Drive" Rejection
How the market opens in relation to the previous day's value area is a powerful tell.
Open Above Yesterday's Value Area: If the market opens above the pVAH, it signals strength. The first pullback to test the pVAH is often a key long entry point. The level is expected to flip from resistance to support.
Open Below Yesterday's Value Area: If the market opens below the pVAL, it signals weakness. The first rally to test the pVAL is a potential short entry, as the level is likely to act as new resistance.
3. Fading the Extremes
When price pushes far outside the previous day's value area, it can become overextended.
Reversal at Highs: If price rallies significantly above the pVAH and then starts to lose momentum (e.g., forming bearish divergence on RSI or a topping pattern), it could be an opportunity to short the market, targeting a move back toward the pVAH or pPOC.
Reversal at Lows: Conversely, if price drops far below the pVAL and shows signs of bottoming, it can be a good opportunity to look for a long entry, targeting a reversion back to the value area.
Recommended Settings (SPY Intraday)
These settings are the default and are optimized for scalping or day trading SPY on a 1-minute chart.
Value Area (%): 50%. This creates a tighter, more sensitive value area, perfect for identifying the most critical intraday zones.
Number of Rows: 1000. This high resolution is essential for a low-volatility instrument like SPY, ensuring that the profile is detailed and the levels are precise.
Session Time: 0400-1800 in America/New_York. This captures the full pre-market and core session, which is crucial for understanding the day's complete volume story.

Regime KaleidoscopeWhat is Regime Kaleidoscope?
Regime Kaleidoscope is an advanced market regime visualizer and adaptive signal generator.
It helps traders instantly understand whether current market conditions are best for mean-reversion (fading price back to the mean) or breakout/trend-following (riding strong moves), using a data-driven, non-repainting approach.
How It Works
1. Regime Detection & Background Colors
The indicator analyzes both volatility (ATR) and the shape of each candle (body size vs. range) over a rolling window.
Each bar is classified into one of three regimes, and the chart’s background color changes accordingly:
Regime Background Color What It Means How to Use
Low Vol Balanced Green background Market is calm, compressed. More likely to revert back to mean. Look for mean-reversion signals only (fade moves).
High Vol Directional Red background Market is in a high-volatility, trending, or “breakout” state.
Red does NOT mean bearish. It simply means conditions are ripe for strong directional moves—either up or down. Look for breakout signals only (ride strong moves after structure break).
Chop Gray background Market is indecisive or transitioning between states. Signals are minimized or blocked. Best to wait or trade with extra caution.
→ Red background means high volatility/trending regime, not a signal direction!
Green means “mean-revert environment,” not always bullish!
Gray means “chop/transition”—usually best avoided.
2. Signals — How to Read and Trade Them
Mean-Reversion Signals (Green Regime Only):
Appear when price is stretched away from a rolling mean (SMA) by a configurable ATR-based threshold.
Optional: Only allowed in the direction of the higher-timeframe trend, if enabled.
Long signals: Fade extreme dips (look for triangle-up shapes & green labels).
Short signals: Fade extreme spikes (triangle-down shapes & red labels).
Labels show signal strength (distance from mean in ATR units).
Breakout Signals (Red Regime Only):
Only triggered when price breaks above or below a confirmed swing high or low (pivot), with a strong candle and optional trend confirmation.
Long signals: Breakout above last swing high (regardless of background color).
Short signals: Breakout below last swing low.
Labels show signal strength (distance from pivot in ATR units).
Red background does NOT mean sell— it means “trend environment”—so both long and short signals are possible, depending on which direction price is breaking out.
Signal Controls & Filtering:
Signals only fire at bar close (non-repainting), never intrabar or on future data.
ATR “floor” blocks signals when volatility is too low for meaningful moves.
Cooldown: Signals are limited to one per regime per direction for a minimum number of bars (user input).
Optional confirmation candles: Only strong reversals or breakouts count, reducing noise and whipsaws.
All signals are visible as triangle shapes below/above bars, and labeled with strength.
3. Visual Guide
Background color: Maps the regime, not buy/sell direction.
Transition label: Appears only when the regime changes, so you can see state shifts at a glance.
Triangle shapes & labels: Mark entry points; label gives strength.
Info table (optional): Shows regime and ATR at transitions.
Why is Regime Kaleidoscope Unique?
Uses rolling statistical percentiles of ATR and candle body shape for dynamic market state detection—not just a moving average or volatility band.
Separates regime from signal direction, so you always know “what mode the market is in” and when signals actually have a higher probability.
No repainting. All logic is strictly bar-close, confirmed pivots, and non-future-leaking.
Highly customizable—all thresholds, filters, trend confirmation, and cooldown are user inputs.
How To Use
Add to any chart.
Use the background color to identify if you’re in a mean-revert, breakout, or chop regime.
Take only the signals that match the regime:
Green = fade extremes, Red = ride breakouts, Gray = wait.
Tune settings for your asset and timeframe.
All signals are educational—always test before live use!

Consolidation Box1. Overview & Purpose
The "Faithful Box" is a powerful TradingView indicator designed to automatically identify and visualize high-quality price consolidation zones, often known as 'trading ranges' or 'boxes'.
This tool is a direct Pine Script translation of a specific, robust Python-based analysis strategy. Its primary goal is not just to find any sideways movement, but to qualify it based on a strict set of rules, ensuring that only meaningful and tradable consolidation patterns are highlighted on the chart.
2. Core Logic: How It Works
The indicator's intelligence is based on several key rules translated from the original Python script:
Box Definition (Based on Closing Prices): The most crucial rule is how the box is defined. Unlike many tools that use candle wicks (highs and lows), this indicator establishes the Ceiling (Resistance) and the Floor (Support) of the box using the highest Close price and the lowest Close price over the specified analysis period. This provides a more stable and representative view of the true consolidation zone, ignoring outlier price spikes.
Quality Filters: A consolidation is only considered valid and drawn on the chart if it meets two strict criteria:
Minimum Touches: The price must "test" the ceiling and floor a minimum number of times. A "touch" is counted with a tolerance — the High of a candle only needs to get close to the ceiling, and the Low close to the floor. This simulates how price interacts with support and resistance zones in the real world.
Maximum Height: The consolidation range cannot be excessively wide or volatile. The box will only be drawn if its total height, as a percentage of its price, is below a user-defined limit.
3. Visual Features on the Chart
When a valid consolidation pattern is detected, the indicator draws a semi-transparent box over the analysis period. The most powerful visual feature is its dynamic coloring, which functions as a built-in alert system:
🟥 Red Box: The box turns red when the price enters the upper "Action Zone" (e.g., the top 30% of the range). This visually signals that the price is near a key resistance level, alerting the trader to a potential reversal or breakout opportunity.
🟩 Green Box: The box turns green when the price enters the lower "Action Zone" (e.g., the bottom 30% of the range). This highlights that the price is testing a key support level.
⬜ Gray Box: The box remains a neutral gray when the price is trading in the middle of the range, which can often be considered a "no-trade" or "wait-and-see" zone.
4. Configuration (Indicator Inputs)
You have full control over the indicator's sensitivity through its inputs:
Analysis Period (days): Defines the lookback window (in trading days) to search for a consolidation pattern. Common values are 42 (approx. 2 months) or 63 (approx. 3 months).
Maximum Box Height (%): Filters out consolidations that are too volatile or wide. A lower percentage will find tighter, more compressed consolidations.
Minimum Ceiling/Floor Touches: Defines the "strength" of the support and resistance levels. Requiring more touches will result in fewer detected patterns, but likely of higher quality.
Touch Tolerance (%): Defines how close the High/Low needs to get to the edge of the box to be counted as a touch. A value of 2% means a touch is registered if the price comes within 2% of the box's total height from the edge.
Action Zone (%): Customizes the size of the red (resistance) and green (support) zones. A value of 30% means the top 30% of the box will be the red zone, and the bottom 30% will be the green zone.
Multi Time Frame Supporting Candles (with EMA/VWAP)Overview
This script provides a clean and, most importantly, correctly-scaled Multi-Time-Frame (MTF) analysis panel. It displays the candles of a higher timeframe (e.g., 1-hour candles while you are on a 5-minute chart) in a separate pane below your main chart.
Crucially, it solves a common Pine Script scaling issue, allowing you to plot indicators like EMA and VWAP from the higher timeframe alongside the candles without distorting the display. This tool is essential for traders who practice Multi-Time-Frame Analysis, helping you stay aware of the larger trend context while executing trades on a lower timeframe.

Multi-Timeframe SMTSummery
The Multi-Timeframe SMT indicator is designed to identify and visualize Higher Timeframe (HTF) data on a Lower Timeframe (LTF) chart, allowing traders to see the broader market context without changing their current chart's resolution. It accurately draws pivots and SMT divergences from higher timeframes on the corresponding candles of your current lower timeframe chart.
Its core features include:
Multi-Timeframe Analysis: Configure and monitor pivots on up to four independent timeframes, from intraday to monthly.
Customizable Pivot Detection: Define the strength of pivots by adjusting the number of bars to the left and right.
SMT Divergence: Automatically identifies bullish and bearish SMT divergences by comparing the price action of the main chart symbol with a chosen correlated asset.
Early SMT Detection: A unique feature that monitors a lower "detection timeframe" to provide early warnings of potential SMT setups before they're confirmed on the main timeframe. Note that this early detection is only shown on timeframes equal to or lower than the "Detection timeframe" you have set.
Visual Cues & Alerts: Clear on-chart labels, lines, and fully customizable alerts notify you of confirmed pivots and SMT divergences, ensuring you don't miss key opportunities.
Important Nuance Regarding Pivot Label Display
Due to a self-imposed limit within this script's drawing management logic, the indicator might quickly reach its drawing capacity if you enable pivot crosses for multiple timeframes simultaneously. When this internal drawing limit is exceeded, the script is designed to automatically remove the oldest drawings to make space for new ones.
Therefore, to ensure optimal performance and visibility of the most recent and relevant pivots, it's highly recommended to only enable the "Show Pivot Crosses" option for one timeframe at a time. If you wish to view pivots for a different timeframe, simply disable the pivot crosses for the currently active timeframe and then enable them for your desired one. This approach prevents the rapid cycling and disappearance of pivot labels, providing a clearer and more stable visual experience.
In-Depth Explanation of the Logic
This script is built on two primary concepts: pivot points and Smart Money Technique (SMT) divergence. It systematically collects historical data on multiple timeframes, identifies pivots, and then compares them between two assets to find divergences.
Pivot Point Identification
A pivot is a turning point in the market. A pivot high is a candle that has a higher high than the candles to its immediate left and right. Conversely, a pivot low is a candle with a lower low than its neighbors.
How it Works in the Script:
The script tracks the highest high and lowest low for each period of the selected timeframe (e.g., for each 4-hour candle). When a new high-timeframe candle closes, it stores that high/low value and its bar index in an array. The checkForPivot() function then checks if a recently stored high or low qualifies as a pivot.
Key Inputs:
Left Strength (leftBars1): The number of candles to the left that must have a lower high (for a pivot high) or higher low (for a pivot low).
Right Strength (rightBars1): The number of candles to the right that must meet the same criteria.
For example, with Left Strength and Right Strength both set to 3, a pivot high is only confirmed when its high is greater than the highs of the 3 previous high-timeframe candles and the 3 subsequent high-timeframe candles. Increasing these values will identify more significant, longer-term pivots.
Smart Money Technique (SMT) Divergence
SMT Divergence is a concept popularized by The Inner Circle Trader (ICT). It occurs when two closely correlated assets fail to move in sync. For instance, if Asset A makes a higher high but Asset B fails to do so and instead makes a lower high, this creates a bearish SMT divergence. It suggests that the "smart money" may not be supporting the move in Asset A, signaling a potential reversal.
Bearish SMT: Main asset makes a higher high, while the correlated asset makes a lower high. This is a potential sell signal.
Bullish SMT: Main asset makes a lower low, while the correlated asset makes a higher low. This is a potential buy signal.
How it Works in the Script:
Data Request: For each timeframe, the script uses the request.security() function to fetch the high and low data for both the main chart symbol (syminfo.tickerid) and the chosen Comparison Asset.
Pivot Comparison: When a new pivot is confirmed on the main asset, the script checks if a corresponding pivot also formed on the comparison asset at the same time.
Divergence Check: It then compares the direction of the pivots. For a bearish SMT, it checks if the main asset's new pivot high is higher than its previous pivot high, while the comparison asset's new pivot high is lower than its previous one. The logic is reversed for bullish SMT.
Visualization: If a divergence is found, the script draws a red (bearish) or green (bullish) line connecting the two pivots on your chart and places an "SMT" label.
Early SMT Detection
This is a proactive feature designed to give you a heads-up. Waiting for a 4-hour or daily pivot to form can take a long time. The early detection system looks for SMT divergences on a much smaller, user-defined Detection timeframe (e.g., 15-minute).
How it Works in the Script:
Awaiting Setup: After a primary pivot (Pivot A) is formed on the main timeframe (e.g., a Daily pivot high), the script begins monitoring.
Intraday Monitoring: It then watches the Detection timeframe (e.g., 15-minute) for smaller intraday pivots.
Potential Divergence: It looks for an intraday pivot that forms a divergence against the primary Pivot A.
Watchline & Alert: When this "potential" divergence occurs, the script draws a dashed white line and triggers a "Potential SMT" alert. This isn't a confirmed SMT on the main timeframe yet, but it's a powerful early warning that one may be forming.
Drawing & Object Management
To keep the chart clean and prevent performance issues, the script manages its drawings (lines and labels) efficiently. It stores them in arrays and uses a drawing limit to automatically delete the oldest drawings as new ones are created, ensuring your TradingView remains responsive.
How to Use the Indicator
Configuration
Enable Timeframes: Use the checkboxes (Enable Timeframe 1, Enable Timeframe 2, etc.) to activate the timeframes you want to monitor. It's often best to start with one or two to keep the chart clean.
Select Timeframes: Choose the higher timeframes you want to analyze (e.g., 240 for 4-hour, D for Daily, W for Weekly).
Set Pivot Strength: The default of 3 for Left/Right strength is a good starting point. Increase it to find more significant market structure points or decrease it for more frequent, shorter-term pivots.
Configure SMT:
Check Enable SMT for the timeframes where you want to detect divergence.
Enter a Comparison Asset . This is crucial. Ensure the assets are correlated.
To use the early warning system, check Enable early SMT detection and select an appropriate Detection timeframe (e.g., 15 or 60 minutes for a Daily analysis).
