SMC ToolBox [WinWorld]👋 INTRODUCTION
SMC ToolBox indicator is not just a simple indicator, but rather a collection of SMC-related algorithms, that our teams has found to make the most profound impact on determination process of the most high-quality liquidity zones and points of interests ( further – POIs ), hence the name of the indicator – Tool Box (and it also sounds cool :) .
From candle patterns to complex orderflow detection algorithm, ToolBox indicator will help any trader with search for useful tools, solving the needs from confirming position entry levels to trend-following and mean reversion opportunities.
❓ WHY DID WE BUILD THIS?
This indicator was initially built for our team's internal use for the sole purpose of gathering all actively used non-structure-related algorithms* in one place, so we could have only the tools that are truly needed at hand at any point of time. After we showed this tool to our trading partners, they were surprised about how light, fast and useful ToolBox was and they advised us on sharing this with our community and, after giving it a proper thought, we decided to follow their advice.
Funnily enough , after researching TradingView's open-source script library, we haven't found even one instance of even remotely alike indicators, so it fair to say that we are one of the first people to release this kind of SMC-related indicator bundles on the market and we strongly that TradingView's community will find this tool of use.
🤷♂️ WHY SHOULD YOU CARE AT ALL?
Frankly speaking, we are not the first people to build our own algorithms of such popular indicators like Equal Highs and Lows (EQHL), Previous Day High Low (PDHL), Orderflow (OF) and etc., but we are definitely one of the first teams to implement these indicators with the help of algorithms, that are actually used by the most professional traders on YouTube and other social media trading influencers. Simply taking trades from our SCOBs, OFs, EQHLs and etc. won't print you millions overnight, but what these algos will do is help you with being aware of is potentially laying ahead of you with a very clean probability.
Why does it matter? It simple: better market awareness gives you an edge over other trades, which use old algorithms, which are clearly outdated, so beating such traders in the long run is just a game of time for you, so good algorithms do matter. Each indicator inside ToolBox is there to help you develop this market awareness and forge your edge bit by bit.
Now let's talk about what is inside the ToolBox.
🔍 OVERVIEW
At the moment of publishing ToolBox contains 8 indicators, so say "Hello" to:
Price Border Bands (further – PBB) ;
Ordeflow (further – OF) ;
Equal Highs & Lows (further – EQHL) ;
Previous Day High & Low ( further – PDHL) ;
Single Candle Order Block (further – SCOB) ;
Institutional Funding Candle (further – IFC) ;
Engulfing Candle (further – EC) ;
Inside Bars (further – IB) .
Some of them you may know, some of them you may not, so let's review each of them one by one.
📍 INDICATOR: Price Border Bands (PBB)
Price Border Bands indicator is a simple yet useful algorithm, based on Triangular Moving Average (TMA), which helps determine extreme price spikes, which on average act as meaningful mean reversion opportunities. It also is a good an effective "verifier" of POIs and zones of interest (further – ZOI) .
We advise on using this indicator this way:
Look for price going beyond upper or lower band of PBB;
Look for price reaching POI or ZOI;
Start searching for your entry point.
The most common sign of potential price reversal, which PBB searches for, is intense price spike, which signals about "liquidity clearing" or, in simple terms, manipulation .
Manipulation of the price inside the POI or price being "stopped" by POI is a screaming sign of the potentional following reversal. See the example of such situation on the screenshot below:
Additionally we need to talk about trend filter inside PBB, which colours the bars on the chart under certain conditions. If bars on the chart are being coloured in gray – this is your sign to stop trading on this asset? because there is risk to catch an uncomfortably big price spike, which might turn the '+' of your position's PnL in to '-'. See the example of PBB highlighting bar's of risky price zone in gray colour on the screenshot below:
In order to continue trading you need to wait for bars to stop being coloured in gray OR confirm the fact that price made Change of Character (ChoCh) in reverse to the previous direction of price, which was marked as risky by PBB.
And last but not least: if you see POI being reach by price inside the bands of PBB, then consider this POI weak and avoid trading it. See the example of weak POI inside PBB bands on the screenshot below:
📍 INDICATOR: Orderflow (OF)
Orderflow indicator is an algorithm, which detects Sell-to-Buy (furthert – STB) or Buy-to-Sell (further – BTS) manipulations, using the algorithm of impulse & correction price movement detection, taken from one of our previously built indicators – Impulse Correction SCOB Mapper (ICSM) .
Let's explain the terms from above:
Impulse – series of bars, each bar of which consecutively updated previous bar's high and then last candle broke previous bar's low ;
Correction – series of bars, each bar of which consecutively updated previous bar's low and then last candle broke previous bar's high ;
STB – a type of price manipulation, which can be described as a correction of price inside global upward movemnt;
BTS – a type of price manipulation, which can be describd as a impulse of price inside global downward movement.
Unlike traditional order blocks, which are often narrower and more selective, Orderflow zones cover a wider price range and present a higher probability of mitigation. This makes them more reliable for entries in ovaerage in comparison to classic orderblocks.
Let's review examples of bullish and bearish orderflows on the screenshots below:
Bullish orderflows (STBs) (blue boxes with "OF" text inside)
Bearish orderflows (BTSs) (orange boxes with "OF" text inside)
The usage of ZOIs, detected by OF algorithm, is pretty straightforward: take trades against the ordeflow block, that price has reached. Even though we don't recommend relying on Orderflow blocks as sole producers of signals, you can use them as such in way, that can be described like this:
Place stop-loss (SL) beyond the furthest border of OF block (bottom of the bullish OF or top of the bearish OF), that price has reached;
Aim for >2:1 RR ratio and place your take-profit (TP) accordingly.
You can see the example setups of OF blocks as signal producers on the screenshots below:
Examples of LONG trades, taken from price reaching bullish OF block.
Examples of SHORT trades, taken from price reaching bearish OF block.
Summarising, Orderflow can be described as a tool that helps determine the STB and BTS price manipulations, which are great price ZOIs and can be used both as confirmation tools for your exisiting signals and sole signal producers, in which case such they needed to be handled extra mindfully and preferrably bonded with other tools for additional confirmation. We personally recommend using Ordeflow as confirmation tool, because ZOIs, detected by Orderflow, are usually the price ranges, around which traders tend to place their stop-losses, which only gives more strength to these zones for supporting the price and helps traders with "trading from support/resistance" strategies gain additional edge.
📍 INDICATOR: Equal Highs & Lows (EQHL)
EQHL indicator is an algorithm, which scans the extremums of impulse and correction movements, detected by our ICSM indicator , and marks ones which are roughly or equaly placed on the same price levels. Equal highs (further – EQH) and equal lows (further – EQL) are local liquidity pools, where stop orders and resting orders cluster; price often gravitates to these zones for liquidity “top-ups,” after which a reaction or continuation to the next liquidity source may occur. Basically, EQHL algorithm highlights clusters of equal extremes as navigational anchors for “collect → react → confirm” scenarios.
Talking about usage, we advise to not take swept or reached EQHLs as entries by themselves. Evaluate them alongside HTF structure, Inducement (IDM), orderblocks (OB), orderflow (OF), candle pattern context (e.g., IFC/EC) on the LTF and etc. Intended usage scenario of this algorithm is something like this:
Price reaches EQH/EQL;
Price hangs around the reached EQH/EQL;
Another tool (for example, OF or OB) signals about price reversals from the level of reached EQH/EQL;
Trader starts looking for an entry.
See the examples of EQHLs, which algorithms maps on the chart, on the screenshots below:
Equal Lows (EQLs)
Equal Highs (EQHs)
📍 INDICATOR: Previous Day High & Low (PDHL)
PDHL indicator is an algorithm, princples of work of which can be derived from its name: algorithm tracks previous day's high and low and displays it on the chart.
Previous day's high and low are fundamental POIs in any financial market, which are traded not only by SMC traders, but by many other traders, especially by traders, which consider these POIs are one of the most crucial, because they usually highly liquidity-rich and can signal about wondeful reversal opportunities.
We expect traders to use PDHL algorithm as confirmation tool when trading by mean reversion strategies. Usage of PDHL as signal source is advised against, but traders are free to experiment nevertheless.
PDHL algorithm shows two types of PDHLs on the chart: active PDHL (solid line) and swept PDHL (dashed line) . You can the examples of PDHLs, detected by our algorithm, on the screenshot below:
📍 INDICATOR: Single Candle Order Block (SCOB)
SCOB indicator is an algorithm, which marks a very specific POIS, which are based on of the most simple yet highly profound SMC and candle pattern principles and are usually a good alternative for classic orderblocks.
Principles of SCOB detection are very simple:
Price sweeps previous candle's extremum (high/low). So called "liquidity sweep" ;
Immediately after step 1 price forms a fair value gap (FVG).
You can see basic examples of bearish and bullish SCOBs on the screenshot below:
As a matter of fact, SCOB can be used both as a confirmation tool and source of signals. However! To be a source of signals, SCOB is most suitable to be used while trading on lower timeframe (LTF), while trading on a higher timeframe (HTF) on average requires to look at SCOB as a POI rather than as independent source of signals. That being said, we would like additionally to point out, that due to the nature of SCOB being an orderblock, this tool by its nature is best suitable as confirmation tool and we expect traders to use it as such, but either way this indicator is quite multifunctional and can be used by each trader for a more specific purposes.
SCOBs, which are detected by our algorithm, are painted on the chart either as coloured candles (SCOBs without inside bars) or coloured boxes (SCOBs with inside bars) . You can see examples of SCOBs, which were detected by our SCOB algorithm, on the screenshot below:
📍 INDICATOR: Institutional Funding Candle (IFC)
IFC is a candle, which is a more strict version of SCOB. Our algorithms detects an IFC, if SCOB satisfies these conditions:
SCOB candle has large shadow (more than 50% of candle's body);
SCOB candle has large range ( | high - low | is more than a certain value, which is base on ATR).
That's basically it! Being simple as that, IFC represents itself as a high-trust SCOB, which on average has larger chance of reversing price when IFC candle is reached by it and our practice shows that it is indeed the case. IFC candles are usually go hand in hand with large price and volume spikes, which are believed to be caused by large institutional players, who trading eager to catch retail trader's stop orders, which they usually place around POIs like IFC and SCOB.
We expect traders to use IFC as a tool for entry confirmation bias, especially when considering IFC from HTF.
You can see IFC, which our algoritms detects on the chart, on the screenshot below:
📍 INDICATOR: Engulfing Candle (EC)
An Engulfing Candle is a candle, which occurs when the current candle’s body engulfs the prior candle’s body, showing a short-term shift in demand/supply balance. In SMC context, it is most useful around POIs/liquidity as a contextual confirmation element. The indicator marks bullish and bearish EC without implying a “must reverse” outcome – it’s a focus cue, not a promise.
As with any other alike tool, this algorithm should not be used as sole source of signals, but rather as a confirmation tool. ECs near support/resistance zones or POIs are typically more impactufl than those inside choppy consolidations. Structural and LTF price impulse confirmation usually enhances existing position bias in a positive way.
You can see examples of engulfing candles on the screenshots below:
Bullish engulfing candles
Bearish engulfing candles
📍 INDICATOR: Inside Bars (IB)
Inside Bars are bars, which are contained inside the range of high and low prices of the bars preceding them. This algorithm was designed to showcase periods of potential price consolidation/volatylity compression and quite often precedes price movement towards closest liquidity POIs and ZOIs. When price finally breaks out of its previous range, it usually provides good opportunities for entering trades using breakout strategies (especially ones, that are based on SMC principles) .
You can see examples of IBs, which are detected by our algorithm on the chart, on the screenshot below:
That was a long list of features, now let's talk about settings now.

🏁 AFTERWORD
SMC ToolBox indicator is designed to be the ultimate swiss knife, which might bring you quantifiable results when trying to crack the market's secret of where the liquidity is placed. This indicator doesn't produce any particular signals not it gives any financial advice, but it helps you deepen understanding about potential existing liquidity zones and price points by employing principles of SMC algorithms, which are most commonly used by retail traders on a daily basis.
You can view this indicator as a Christmas candy box: you pick only the candles (indicators) you need and want. We expect any trader to use this indicator by exactly same way: you should take onlt the things you need to enhance your strategy, not worrying about what to do with other indicators, fi they don't suit you.
Lastly, we would like to share our team's recommendations (they are optional, of course) on how to use certain POIs from ToolBox:
Use PBB as a filter for validating POis. Pay close attention to the rule "don't trade POIs, which are located inside the bands of PBB" (described above in "INDICATOR: PBB") ;
Use Orderflow to find short-term and mid-term trading opportunitions for trend-following strategies, using OF blocks as resistance in bearish trend and support in bullish trend;
Use EQHL and PDHL indicators when trading by mean-reversion strategies on intraday timeframes. These indicators will be especially of use to forex, stock and crypto traders;
Use SCOB and IFC indicators when trading by mean-reversion strategy to find short-term reversal opportunities;
Use ECs and IBs as confirmation/denial tools for your entry ideas. We recommend avoiding trading If price is currently going inside HTF's IB range.
We have no doubts that SMC ToolBox indicator will be of use to any trader, who employs and desire to employ SMC principles in his strategy. We will be waiting for your feedback, meanwhile you can ask your questions in the comments :)
Sincerely,
WinWorld team.

Adaptive Rolling Quantile Bands [CHE] Adaptive Rolling Quantile Bands
Part 1 — Mathematics and Algorithmic Design
Purpose. The indicator estimates distribution‐aware price levels from a rolling window and turns them into dynamic “buy” and “sell” bands. It can work on raw price or on *residuals* around a baseline to better isolate deviations from trend. Optionally, the percentile parameter $q$ adapts to volatility via ATR so the bands widen in turbulent regimes and tighten in calm ones. A compact, latched state machine converts these statistical levels into high-quality discretionary signals.
Data pipeline.
1. Choose a source (default `close`; MTF optional via `request.security`).
2. Optionally compute a baseline (`SMA` or `EMA`) of length $L$.
3. Build the *working series*: raw price if residual mode is off; otherwise price minus baseline (if a baseline exists).
4. Maintain a FIFO buffer of the last $N$ values (window length). All quantiles are computed on this buffer.
5. Map the resulting levels back to price space if residual mode is on (i.e., add back the baseline).
6. Smooth levels with a short EMA for readability.
Rolling quantiles.
Given the buffer $X_{t-N+1..t}$ and a percentile $q\in $, the indicator sorts a copy of the buffer ascending and linearly interpolates between adjacent ranks to estimate:
* Buy band $\approx Q(q)$
* Sell band $\approx Q(1-q)$
* Median $Q(0.5)$, plus optional deciles $Q(0.10)$ and $Q(0.90)$
Quantiles are robust to outliers relative to means. The estimator uses only data up to the current bar’s value in the buffer; there is no look-ahead.
Residual transform (optional).
In residual mode, quantiles are computed on $X^{res}_t = \text{price}_t - \text{baseline}_t$. This centers the distribution and often yields more stationary tails. After computing $Q(\cdot)$ on residuals, levels are transformed back to price space by adding the baseline. If `Baseline = None`, residual mode simply falls back to raw price.
Volatility-adaptive percentile.
Let $\text{ATR}_{14}(t)$ be current ATR and $\overline{\text{ATR}}_{100}(t)$ its long SMA. Define a volatility ratio $r = \text{ATR}_{14}/\overline{\text{ATR}}_{100}$. The effective quantile is:
Smoothing.
Each level is optionally smoothed by an EMA of length $k$ for cleaner visuals. This smoothing does not change the underlying quantile logic; it only stabilizes plots and signals.
Latched state machines.
Two three-step processes convert levels into “latched” signals that only fire after confirmation and then reset:
* BUY latch:
(1) HLC3 crosses above the median →
(2) the median is rising →
(3) HLC3 prints above the upper (orange) band → BUY latched.
* SELL latch:
(1) HLC3 crosses below the median →
(2) the median is falling →
(3) HLC3 prints below the lower (teal) band → SELL latched.
Labels are drawn on the latch bar, with a FIFO cap to limit clutter. Alerts are available for both the simple band interactions and the latched events. Use “Once per bar close” to avoid intrabar churn.
MTF behavior and repainting.
MTF sourcing uses `lookahead_off`. Quantiles and baselines are computed from completed data only; however, any *intrabar* cross conditions naturally stabilize at close. As with all real-time indicators, values can update during a live bar; prefer bar-close alerts for reliability.
Complexity and parameters.
Each bar sorts a copy of the $N$-length window (practical $N$ values keep this inexpensive). Typical choices: $N=50$–$100$, $q_0=0.15$–$0.25$, $k=2$–$5$, baseline length $L=20$ (if used), adaptation strength $s=0.2$–$0.7$.
Part 2 — Practical Use for Discretionary/Active Traders
What the bands mean in practice.
The teal “buy” band marks the lower tail of the recent distribution; the orange “sell” band marks the upper tail. The median is your dynamic equilibrium. In residual mode, these tails are deviations around trend; in raw mode they are absolute price percentiles. When ATR adaptation is on, tails breathe with regime shifts.
Two core playbooks.
1. Mean-reversion around a stable median.
* Context: The median is flat or gently sloped; band width is relatively tight; instrument is ranging.
* Entry (long): Look for price to probe or close below the buy band and then reclaim it, especially after HLC3 recrosses the median and the median turns up.
* Stops: Place beyond the most recent swing low or $1.0–1.5\times$ ATR(14) below entry.
* Targets: First scale at the median; optional second scale near the opposite band. Trail with the median or an ATR stop.
* Symmetry: Mirror the rules for shorts near the sell band when the median is flat to down.
2. Continuation with latched confirmations.
* Context: A developing trend where you want fewer but cleaner signals.
* Entry (long): Take the latched BUY (3-step confirmation) on close, or on the next bar if you require bar-close validation.
* Invalidation: A close back below the median (or below the lower band in strong trends) negates momentum.
* Exits: Trail under the median for conservative exits or under the teal band for trend-following exits. Consider scaling at structure (prior swing highs) or at a fixed $R$ multiple.
Parameter guidance by timeframe.
* Scalping / LTF (1–5m): $N=30$–$60$, $q_0=0.20$, $k=2$–3, residual mode on, baseline EMA $L=20$, adaptation $s=0.5$–0.7 to handle micro-vol spikes. Expect more signals; rely on latched logic to filter noise.
* Intraday swing (15–60m): $N=60$–$100$, $q_0=0.15$–0.20, $k=3$–4. Residual mode helps but is optional if the instrument trends cleanly. $s=0.3$–0.6.
* Swing / HTF (4H–D): $N=80$–$150$, $q_0=0.10$–0.18, $k=3$–5. Consider `SMA` baseline for smoother residuals and moderate adaptation $s=0.2$–0.4.
Baseline choice.
Use EMA for responsiveness (fast trend shifts) and SMA for stability (smoother residuals). Turning residual mode on is advantageous when price exhibits persistent drift; turning it off is useful when you explicitly want absolute bands.
How to time entries.
Prefer bar-close validation for both band recaptures and latched signals. If you must act intrabar, accept that crosses can “un-cross” before close; compensate with tighter stops or reduced size.
Risk management.
Position size to a fixed fractional risk per trade (e.g., 0.5–1.0% of equity). Define invalidation using structure (swing points) plus ATR. Avoid chasing when distance to the opposite band is small; reward-to-risk degrades rapidly once you are deep inside the distribution.
Combos and filters.
* Pair with a higher-timeframe median slope as a regime filter (trade only in the direction of the HTF median).
* Use band width relative to ATR as a range/trend gauge: unusually narrow bands suggest compression (mean-reversion bias); expanding bands suggest breakout potential (favor latched continuation).
* Volume or session filters (e.g., avoid illiquid hours) can materially improve execution.
Alerts for discretion.
Enable “Cross above Buy Level” / “Cross below Sell Level” for early notices and “Latched BUY/SELL” for conviction entries. Set alerts to “Once per bar close” to avoid noise.
Common pitfalls.
Do not interpret band touches as automatic signals; context matters. A strong trend will often ride the far band (“band walking”) and punish counter-trend fades—use the median slope and latched logic to separate trend from range. Do not oversmooth levels; you will lag breaks. Do not set $q$ too small or too large; extremes reduce statistical meaning and practical distance for stops.
A concise checklist.
1. Is the median flat (range) or sloped (trend)?
2. Is band width expanding or contracting vs ATR?
3. Are we near the tail level aligned with the intended trade?
4. For continuation: did the 3 steps for a latched signal complete?
5. Do stops and targets produce acceptable $R$ (≥1.5–2.0)?
6. Are you trading during liquid hours for the instrument?
Summary. ARQB provides statistically grounded, regime-aware bands and a disciplined, latched confirmation engine. Use the bands as objective context, the median as your equilibrium line, ATR adaptation to stay calibrated across regimes, and the latched logic to time higher-quality discretionary entries.

Gravity Trend Line with ±10% Bands_QianYu🌌 Law of Gravity in Stock Trading — by Hu Liyang (胡立阳)—often called the “Godfather of Asian Stock Markets”
✦ Conceptual Origin
The “Law of Gravity” was developed by Mr. Hu Liyang, drawing an analogy between the gravitational pull in physics and the relationship between stock prices and moving averages. It is a medium-term mean reversion theory that helps traders identify rebound opportunities when prices deviate too far from their trend lines.
📈 Indicator Summary: Gravity Trend Line with ±10% Bands
🔧 How It's Calculated:
Gravity Trend Line = Average of SMA(30) and SMA(70)
Represents the fair value zone or center of gravity for price over a medium-term period.
Upper Band = Gravity Line + 10%
Lower Band = Gravity Line - 10%
A shaded zone shows the space between the upper and lower bands — your "gravity channel."
🧭How to Use It for Swing Trading (1H and 4H Charts)
1. Trend Bias Filter
If price is consistently above the Gravity Line, the trend bias is bullish.
If price is below the Gravity Line, the bias is bearish.
Use this to align your trades with the prevailing direction on 4H (macro view) and fine-tune entries on 1H.
2.Trade Entry Zones
Long Setup (buy):
Look for price near or just below the lower band (oversold zone).
Combine with bullish candles or reversal indicators (e.g., MACD bullish crossover, RSI < 30 turning up).
Confirmation: price reclaims the lower band or moves toward gravity line.
Short Setup (sell):
Look for price near or just above the upper band (overbought zone).
Combine with bearish confirmation (e.g., MACD bearish crossover, RSI > 70 turning down).
Confirmation: price starts rejecting from upper band toward gravity line.
3. Take Profit / Exit Zones
Partial TP: At the Gravity Line (mean reversion level).
Final TP: At opposite band (if price has strong momentum).
Alternatively, exit on crossback below gravity line after a long, or above it after a short.
4. Avoiding Traps
Avoid entering trades in the middle of the band (around the Gravity Line) unless there's strong breakout confirmation.
Use 4H for trend context, and 1H for entry precision.
Avoid trading against the broader gravity slope:
If gravity line is clearly sloping up, favor longs.
If sloping down, favor shorts.
📘 Example Strategy Workflow:
Timeframe:
Use 4H for directional bias
Use 1H for entries and exits
Example Long Setup (1H Chart):
Price dips below lower band while 4H trend is up.
Bullish candle forms or RSI/MACD confirms momentum shift.
Entry: price closes back above the lower band.
TP1: near gravity line.
TP2: near upper band.
Or, exit when gain hits +8% to +15%, depending on risk appetite.
📌 Final Notes:
This is a mean-reversion + trend confirmation tool — best used with additional confluence (candlestick patterns, volume, divergence).
It works well in ranging to gently trending markets — not ideal for sharp breakouts unless combined with breakout filters.

Strong Indicator for ISM PMI EURUSD (mtbr)Overview:
This indicator is designed for EURUSD traders who want to analyse the market's reaction to the ISM Services PMI economic event. It automatically detects the event candle, calculates the “surprise” between Actual and Forecast, and generates a full trading plan with entry, take profit, and stop loss levels.
How it works:
Set the event time (or a custom date/time) and input Forecast, Previous, and Actual values.
The indicator calculates the surprise: Actual − Forecast.
Based on the surprise magnitude, it classifies the strength as Weak, Moderate, or Strong, and as Bullish or Bearish.
Direction is set automatically but can be inverted via the “Invert Signal Logic” option.
Entry, TP1, TP2, TP3, and SL are calculated based on your percentage settings.
Levels are plotted on the chart, with labels and a vertical dashed line marking the event candle.
A table displays key event data: name, forecast, actual, surprise, and strength classification.
How to use:
Select your trading asset (EURUSD by default).
Choose between automatic event time logic or a custom date/time.
Input the Forecast, Previous, and Actual values from the economic calendar.
Adjust percentage settings for entry, take profits, and stop loss.
Use the plotted lines as a reference for trade planning.
Optionally enable pullback confirmation before entry.

13/48 EMA Trading Scalper (ATR TP/SL)13/48 EMA Trading Scalper (ATR TP/SL)
What it does:
This tool looks for price “touches” of the 13-EMA, only takes CALL entries when the 13 is above the 48 (uptrend) and PUT entries when the 13 is below the 48 (downtrend), and confirms with a simple candle pattern (green > red with expansion for calls, inverse for puts). Touch sensitivity is ATR-scaled, so signals adapt to volatility. Each trade gets auto-drawn entry, TP, and SL lines, colored labels with $ / % distance from entry, plus optional TP/SL hit alerts. A rotating color palette and per-bar label staggering help keep the chart readable. Old objects are auto-pruned via maxTracked.
How it works
Trend filter: 13-EMA vs 48-EMA.
Entry: ATR-scaled touch of the 13-EMA + candle confirmation.
Risk: TP/SL = ATR multiples you control.
Visuals: Entry/TP/SL lines (extend right), vertical entry marker (optional), multi-line labels.
Hygiene: maxTracked keeps only the last N trades’ objects; labels are staggered to reduce overlap.
Alerts: Buy Call, Buy Put, Take Profit Reached, Stop Loss Hit.
Key Inputs
Fast EMA (13), Trend EMA (48), ATR Length (14)
Touch Threshold (x ATR) – how close price must come to the EMA
Take Profit (x ATR), Stop Loss (x ATR)
maxTracked – number of recent trades to keep on chart
Tips
Start with Touch = 0.10–0.20 × ATR; TP=2×ATR, SL=1×ATR, then tune per symbol/timeframe.
Works on intraday and higher TFs; fewer, cleaner signals on higher TFs.
This is an indicator, not a broker—always backtest and manage risk.
Alt Coin Season Indicator v2Trend Core Strategy with Alt Season Filter
This script is a comprehensive trend-following strategy designed to identify high-probability long entries for altcoins. It combines a core mean-reversion setup with a powerful, two-layer "Alt Season" filter to ensure trades are only considered when macro conditions are most favorable.
The primary goal is to enter a trade during a short-term dip (oversold RSI) but only when the broader market structure (Halving Cycle and BTC Dominance) confirms that capital is flowing into altcoins.
How It Works: The Logic
The strategy is built on two distinct layers that must align for a signal to be valid.
1. The Core Trading Setup
A potential LONG ENTRY signal is identified when a specific set of trend and momentum conditions are met:
Long-Term Trend: The price must be trading above the 200-period Slow Moving Average.
Mean Reversion Entry: The RSI must be in an oversold state (below 35).
Favorable Dominance: BTC.D must be trending down, and ETH.D must be trending up, indicating a "risk-on" environment.
2. The "Alt Season" Master Filter
This is the master switch that confirms the macro environment. A trade setup is only considered valid if the "Alt Season" filter is active. This filter has two sub-layers:
Bitcoin Halving Cycle: The script tracks the 4-year cycle and only allows signals during the two most bullish phases:
Post-Halving Accumulation (Yellow Background): The period immediately following a halving.
Parabolic Uptrend (Green Background): The primary bull market phase.
Signals are automatically disabled during the "Distribution" (Red) and "Bear Market" (Dark Red) phases.
BTC Dominance State: This defines the precise start and end of an alt season based on capital flows.
START (🚀): Alt Season becomes active when BTC.D crosses below 60%.
RESET (⚠️): The state is temporarily disabled if BTC.D reclaims 60%, acting as a warning signal.
END (🛑): The season is officially over when BTC.D crosses back above 40% from below.
On-Chart Visuals
The script provides a rich visual interface for at-a-glance analysis:
Background Colors: The chart background changes color to reflect the current Halving Cycle phase. A bright cyan overlay indicates when the "Alt Season" filter is fully active.
Dynamic Shapes:
🚀 (Rocket): Signals the start of a confirmed Alt Season. The size is dynamic—a larger rocket appears if the RSI is more deeply oversold, indicating a higher-conviction setup.
⚠️ (Warning Sign): Appears if BTC.D reclaims the 60% start level, indicating a temporary pause or "reset" of the alt season.
🛑 (Stop Sign): Marks the official end of the Alt Season.
On-Screen Table: A real-time dashboard in the top-right corner shows the status of every single condition, providing full transparency into the script's logic.
How to Use
Wait for the "Alt Season Active" (cyan) background to appear. This is your primary confirmation that macro conditions are favorable.
Look for LONG ENTRY labels. These appear when the core trading setup aligns with an active Alt Season.
Use the on-screen table to understand why a signal is or is not firing.
Set Alerts: The script includes three distinct alerts for "Alt Season Activated," "Alt Season Warning," and "Alt Season Officially Over" to keep you updated on the macro environment.
Disclaimer: This tool is for educational purposes only and should not be considered financial advice. All trading involves risk. Always conduct your own research and backtesting before making any trading decisions.
Dynamic S/R Zones Pro [By TraderMan]Dynamic S/R Zones Pro
Short pitch:
Dynamic S/R Zones Pro automatically maps support and resistance levels using pivot highs/lows and draws surrounding zones. It displays lines, labels and a table — making it fast to spot relevant price areas on your chart. 📊✨
🔎 What does this indicator do?
Detects pivot highs/lows and converts them into dynamic S/R levels.
Draws a zone around each level (upper & lower bands) so you can see the interaction area. 🟢🔴
Counts how often each level was tested and writes that “strength” in the table — so you can prioritize levels.
Fully configurable colors, line styles, zone width and table display. 🎛️
Note: Pivot-based S/R is a widely used, objective way to map price levels — see pivot basics.
Investopedia
⚙️ How it works (technical)
Uses pivotRange = 10 to search for highs/lows inside that window.
Looks back analysisPeriod (284 in your script) and selects meaningful pivots; filters by strengthSR threshold.
channelPercent and zonePercent define band thickness (zone), with zoneWidthPercent applied over the last 300 bars.
Strength = number of times price tested that band; used for filtering and the table.
High/Low Zones option draws wide reference bands around the period’s highest/lowest pivots.
(Pivot logic here is pivot-based SR mapping — not classical static pivot formulas, but the same principle of marking widely watched price levels.)
Investopedia
🛠️ How to use (step-by-step)
Enable SR: toggle S/R drawing on/off.
Strength (strengthSR): increase to show only well-tested levels, decrease to show more levels.
Line Style / Width: readability and aesthetics.
Show Zones / Zone Width %: enable zones and set width (e.g. 2% of recent range).
Show High/Low Zones: draw wide reference zones for the highest/lowest pivots.
Extend SR: extend lines across the chart (past/future) for clarity.
Show Table: display levels, zone boundaries and strength in the top-right table. 📋
🎯 Trade entry ideas (examples)
Not financial advice — examples of how traders commonly use S/R zones.
1) Bounce Long (support zone buy)
Condition: Price arrives at a support zone and shows a bullish confirmation candle (e.g., hammer, bullish engulfing).
Extra confirmation: oversold RSI or supportive volume.
Entry: on confirmed candle close (market or limit).
SL: slightly below the zone’s lower band.
TP: next resistance or target R:R ≥ 1:2. (Retest confirmations reduce false-breakout risk.)
fxopen.com
Investopedia
2) Breakout Long
Condition: Price breaks resistance with increased volume.
Tactic: wait for a retest of the broken resistance (now support). Enter on confirmation.
SL: below the retest low or zone lower band.
TP: next zone / predetermined R:R target. Breakouts need volume/retest confirmation to avoid fakeouts.
Investopedia
fxopen.com
3) Scalp
Use narrower zones, smaller TF, very tight SL and smaller R:R (e.g., 1:1), account for spreads/fees.
🛡️ Risk management
Don’t risk too much per trade — follow a fixed % (e.g., 1–2% max).
cmegroup.com
Plan SL & TP before entry; avoid emotional adjustments.
Investopedia
Calculate risk/reward; aim for a favorable R:R and backtest your rules.
CenterPoint Securities
✔️ Practical tips
Filter by strength to remove noisy levels.
Timeframe matters: higher TF = stronger levels.
Combine with other indicators (volume, RSI, MAs) for better confirmation.
Backtest the script and your entry rules before deploying live.
Quick summary: Dynamic S/R Zones Pro is a pivot-based S/R & zone mapper that highlights strong levels and helps you trade bounces, breakouts and retests — but always use SL/TP and solid risk management.

Range Breakout with Persistent Zone Bar Colors
// DESCRIPTION:
// The "Range Breakout with Persistent Zone Bar Colors" indicator identifies and visualizes
// periods of consolidation (boxes or channels) based on an ATR‑driven range and highlights
// directional breakouts, zone entries, and persistent zone trends.
//
// KEY FEATURES:
// 1. ATR‑Based Channel Construction:
// • Computes a rolling channel around the midpoint (HL2) using a historical ATR length,
// scaled by the "Channel Width" multiplier. This channel represents the box or range.
// • Automatically resets when price closes beyond the upper or lower boundary, or after
// a user‑defined maximum number of bars (Length) inside the range.
//
// 2. Persistent Zone Bar Coloring:
// • Colors bars within the current box uniformly—green for bullish zones after an
// upward breakout, red for bearish zones after a downward breakout—based on the last
// breakout direction (trend). Bars outside the box use a neutral color.
// • Provides an at‑a‑glance view of whether price remains in a bullish or bearish box.
//
// 3. Zone Entry & Breakout Signals:
// • "New Bull Box" / "New Bear Box" labels mark each new zone formation at the reset bar.
// • "Enter Bull Zone" and "Enter Bear Zone" tiny labels flag when price first crosses into
// the lower or upper half of the box, spotlighting momentum within the range.
// • Classic breakout symbols (▲ for buys, ▼ for sells) appear when price decisively crosses
// the box mid‑lines, with optional filtering by trend.
// • Optional X markers identify potential fakeout attempts beyond the box boundaries.
//
// 4. Customizable Inputs:
// • LENGTH: Maximum bars before auto‑reset if no breakout occurs.
// • CHANNEL WIDTH: ATR multiplier controlling box height.
// • Color settings for channel lines, fills, labels, and both inside/outside bar coloring.
// • Options to show fakeouts (X signals) and filter ▲/▼ by breakout trend.
//
// USE CASES:
// • Consolidation & Breakout Strategy: Clearly visualize ranges where price consolidates
// and prepare for directional entries on breakout or zone entry.
// • Trend Detection: Persistent bar colors provide quick confirmation of current zone bias.
// • Momentum Assessment: Mid‑zone entry labels highlight shifts in momentum within boxes.
// • Risk Management: Time‑based resets ensure the channel does not become stale if no
// breakout occurs.
//
// HOW TO READ:
// 1. Watch for the channel box formation (colored fills between upper and lower lines).
// 2. A label "New Bull Box" or "New Bear Box" indicates the start of a fresh zone.
// 3. Bars inside that zone remain uniformly colored until a new breakout resets the box.
// 4. "Enter Bull Zone" / "Enter Bear Zone" marks when price first enters each half.
// 5. ▲ / ▼ symbols on mid‑line crossovers signal potential entries.
// 6. Outside the box, bars turn neutral, highlighting no‑trade or transition periods.
// 7. Adjust inputs to fit the time frame and volatility of your market.
//
// By leveraging both visual zone coloring and precise labels, this indicator streamlines
// range analysis, breakout timing, and bias confirmation into a single, intuitive tool.

Reversal Point Dynamics⇋ Reversal Point Dynamics (RPD)
This is not an indicator; it is a complete system for deconstructing the mechanics of a market reversal. Reversal Point Dynamics (RPD) moves far beyond simplistic pattern recognition, venturing into a deep analysis of the underlying forces that cause trends to exhaust, pause, and turn. It is engineered from the ground up to identify high-probability reversal points by quantifying the confluence of market dynamics in real-time.
Where other tools provide a static signal, RPD delivers a dynamic probability. It understands that a true market turning point is not a single event, but a cascade of failing momentum, structural breakdown, and a shift in market order. RPD's core engine meticulously analyzes each of these dynamic components—the market's underlying state, its velocity and acceleration, its degree of chaos (entropy), and its structural framework. These forces are synthesized into a single, unified Probability Score, offering you an unprecedented, transparent view into the conviction behind every potential reversal.
This is not a "black box" system. It is an open-architecture engine designed to empower the discerning trader. Featuring real-time signal projection, an integrated Fibonacci R2R Target Engine, and a comprehensive dashboard that acts as your Dynamics Control Center , RPD gives you a complete, holistic view of the market's state.
The Theoretical Core: Deconstructing Market Dynamics
RPD's analytical power is born from the intelligent synthesis of multiple, distinct theoretical models. Each pillar of the engine analyzes a different facet of market behavior. The convergence of these analyses—the "Singularity" event referenced in the dashboard—is what generates the final, high-conviction probability score.
1. Pillar One: Quantum State Analysis (QSA)
This is the foundational analysis of the market's current state within its recent context. Instead of treating price as a random walk, QSA quantizes it into a finite number of discrete "states."
Formulaic Concept: The engine establishes a price range using the highest high and lowest low over the Adaptive Analysis Period. This range is then divided into a user-defined number of Analysis Levels. The current price is mapped to one of these states (e.g., in a 9-level system, State 0 is the absolute low, and State 8 is the absolute high).
Analytical Edge: This acts as a powerful foundational filter. The engine will only begin searching for reversal signals when the market has reached a statistically stretched, extreme state (e.g., State 0 or 8). The Edge Sensitivity input allows you to control exactly how close to this extreme edge the price must be, ensuring you are trading from points of maximum potential exhaustion.
2. Pillar Two: Price State Roc (PSR) - The Dynamics of Momentum
This pillar analyzes the kinetic forces of the market: its velocity and acceleration. It understands that it’s not just where the price is, but how it got there that matters.
Formulaic Concept: The psr function calculates two derivatives of price.
Velocity: (price - price ). This measures the speed and direction of the current move.
Acceleration: (velocity - velocity ). This measures the rate of change in that speed. A negative acceleration (deceleration) during a strong rally is a critical pre-reversal warning, indicating momentum is fading even as price may be pushing higher.
Analytical Edge: The engine specifically hunts for exhaustion patterns where momentum is clearly decelerating as price reaches an extreme state. This is the mechanical signature of a weakening trend.
3. Pillar Three: Market Entropy Analysis - The Dynamics of Order & Chaos
This is RPD's chaos filter, a concept borrowed from information theory. Entropy measures the degree of randomness or disorder in the market's price action.
Formulaic Concept: The calculateEntropy function analyzes recent price changes. A market moving directionally and smoothly has low entropy (high order). A market chopping back and forth without direction has high entropy (high chaos). The value is normalized between 0 and 1.
Analytical Edge: The most reliable trades occur in low-entropy, ordered environments. RPD uses the Entropy Threshold to disqualify signals that attempt to form in chaotic, unpredictable conditions, providing a powerful shield against whipsaw markets.
4. Pillar Four: The Synthesis Engine & Probability Calculation
This is where all the dynamic forces converge. The final probability score is a weighted calculation that heavily rewards confluence.
Formulaic Concept: The calculateProbability function intelligently assembles the final score:
A Base Score is established from trend strength and entropy.
An Entropy Score adds points for low entropy (order) and subtracts for high entropy (chaos).
A significant Divergence Bonus is awarded for a classic momentum divergence.
RSI & Volume Bonuses are added if momentum oscillators are in extreme territory or a volume spike confirms institutional interest.
MTF & Adaptive Bonuses add further weight for alignment with higher timeframe structure.
Analytical Edge: A signal backed by multiple dynamic forces (e.g., extreme state + decelerating momentum + low entropy + volume spike) will receive an exponentially higher probability score. This is the very essence of analyzing reversal point dynamics.
The Command Center: Mastering the Inputs
Every input is a precise lever of control, allowing you to fine-tune the RPD engine to your exact trading style, market, and timeframe.
🧠 Core Algorithm
Predictive Mode (Early Detection):
What It Is: Enables the engine to search for potential reversals on the current, unclosed bar.
How It Works: Analyzes intra-bar acceleration and state to identify developing exhaustion. These signals are marked with a ' ? ' and are tentative.
How To Use It: Enable for scalping or very aggressive day trading to get the earliest possible indication. Disable for swing trading or a more conservative approach that waits for full bar confirmation.
Live Signal Mode (Current Bar):
What It Is: A highly aggressive mode that plots tentative signals with a ' ! ' on the live bar based on projected price and momentum. These signals repaint intra-bar.
How It Works: Uses a linear regression projection of the close to anticipate a reversal.
How To Use It: For advanced users who use intra-bar dynamics for execution and understand the nature of repainting signals.
Adaptive Analysis Period:
What It Is: The main lookback period for the QSA, PSR, and Entropy calculations. This is the engine's "memory."
How It Works: A shorter period makes the engine highly sensitive to local price swings. A longer period makes it focus only on major, significant market structure.
How To Use It: Scalping (1-5m): 15-25. Day Trading (15m-1H): 25-40. Swing Trading (4H+): 40-60.
Fractal Strength (Bars):
What It Is: Defines the strength of the pivot detection used for confirming reversal events.
How It Works: A value of '2' requires a candle's high/low to be more extreme than the two bars to its left and right.
How To Use It: '2' is a robust standard. Increase to '3' for an even stricter definition of a structural pivot, which will result in fewer signals.
MTF Multiplier:
What It Is: Integrates pivot data from a higher timeframe for confluence.
How It Works: A multiplier of '4' on a 15-minute chart will pull pivot data from the 1-hour chart (15 * 4 = 60m).
How To Use It: Set to a multiple that corresponds to your preferred higher timeframe for contextual analysis.
🎯 Signal Settings
Min Probability %:
What It Is: Your master quality filter. A signal is only plotted if its score exceeds this threshold.
How It Works: Directly filters the output of the final probability calculation.
How To Use It: High-Quality (80-95): For A+ setups only. Balanced (65-75): For day trading. Aggressive (50-60): For scalping.
Min Signal Distance (Bars):
What It Is: A noise filter that prevents signals from clustering in choppy conditions.
How It Works: Enforces a "cooldown" period of N bars after a signal.
How To Use It: Increase in ranging markets to focus on major swings. Decrease on lower timeframes.
Entropy Threshold:
What It Is: Your "chaos shield." Sets the maximum allowable market randomness for a signal.
How It Works: If calculated entropy is above this value, the signal is invalidated.
How To Use It: Lower values (0.1-0.5): Extremely strict. Higher values (0.7-1.0): More lenient. 0.85 is a good balance.
Adaptive Entropy & Aggressive Mode:
What It Is: Toggles for dynamically adjusting the engine's core parameters.
How It Works: Adaptive Entropy can slightly lower the required probability in strong trends. Aggressive Mode uses more lenient settings across the board.
How To Use It: Keep Adaptive on. Use Aggressive Mode sparingly, primarily for scalping highly volatile assets.
📊 State Analysis
Analysis Levels:
What It Is: The number of discrete "states" for the QSA.
How It Works: More levels create a finer-grained analysis of price location.
How To Use It: 6-7 levels are ideal. Increasing to 9 can provide more precision on very volatile assets.
Edge Sensitivity:
What It Is: Defines how close to the absolute top/bottom of the range price must be.
How It Works: '0' means price must be in the absolute highest/lowest state. '3' allows a signal within the top/bottom 3 states.
How To Use It: '3' provides a good balance. Lower it to '1' or '0' if you only want to trade extreme exhaustion.
The Dashboard: Your Dynamics Control Center
The dashboard provides a transparent, real-time view into the engine's brain. Use it to understand the context behind every signal and to gauge the current market environment at a glance.
🎯 UNIFIED PROB SCORE
TOTAL SCORE: The highest probability score (either Peak or Valley) the engine is currently calculating. This is your main at-a-glance conviction metric. The "Singularity" header refers to the event where market dynamics align—the event RPD is built to detect.
Quality: A human-readable interpretation of the Total Score. "EXCEPTIONAL" (🌟) is a rare, A+ confluence event. "STRONG" (💪) is a high-quality, tradable setup.
📊 ORDER FLOW & COMPONENT ANALYSIS
Volume Spike: Shows if the current volume is significantly higher than average (YES/NO). A 'YES' adds major confirmation.
Peak/Valley Conf: This breaks down the probability score into its directional components, showing you the separate confidence levels for a potential top (Peak) versus a bottom (Valley).
🌌 MARKET STRUCTURE
HTF Trend: Shows the direction of the underlying trend based on a Supertrend calculation.
Entropy: The current market chaos reading. "🔥 LOW" is an ideal, ordered state for trading. "😴 HIGH" is a warning of choppy, unpredictable conditions.
🔮 FIB & R2R ZONE (Large Dashboard)
This section gives you the status of the Fibonacci Target Engine. It shows if an Active Channel (entry zone) or Stop Zone (invalidation zone) is active and displays the precise price levels for the static entry, target, and stop calculated at the time of the signal.
🛡️ FILTERS & PREDICTIVES (Large Dashboard)
This panel provides a status check on all the bonus filters. It shows the current RSI Status, whether a Divergence is present, and if a Live Pending signal is forming.
The Visual Interface: A Symphony of Data
Every visual element is designed for instant, intuitive interpretation of market dynamics.
Signal Markers: These are the primary outputs of the engine.

Development Philosophy
Reversal Point Dynamics was engineered to answer a fundamental question: can we objectively measure the forces behind a market turn? It is a synthesis of concepts from market microstructure, statistics, and information theory. The objective was never to create a "perfect" system, but to build a robust decision-support tool that provides a measurable, statistical edge by focusing on the principle of confluence.
By demanding that multiple, independent market dynamics align simultaneously, RPD filters out the vast majority of market noise. It is designed for the trader who thinks in terms of probability and risk management, not in terms of certainties. It is a tool to help you discount the obvious and bet on the unexpected alignment of market forces.

Universal Renko Bars by SiddWolfUniversal Renko Bars or UniRenko Bars is an overlay indicator that applies the logic of Renko charting directly onto a standard candlestick chart. It generates a sequence of price-driven bricks, where each new brick is formed only when the price moves a specific amount, regardless of time. This provides a clean, price-action-focused visualization of the market's trend.
WHAT IS UNIVERSAL RENKO BARS?
For years, traders have faced a stark choice: the clean, noise-free world of Renko charts, or the rich, time-based context of Candlesticks. Choosing Renko meant giving up your favorite moving averages, volume profiles, and the fundamental sense of time. Choosing Candlesticks meant enduring the market noise that often clouds true price action.
But what if you didn't have to choose?
Universal Renko Bars is a revolutionary indicator that ends this dilemma. It's not just another charting tool; it's a powerful synthesis that overlays the pure, price-driven logic of Renko bricks directly onto your standard candlestick chart. This hybrid approach gives you the best of both worlds:
❖ The Clarity of Renko: By filtering out the insignificant noise of time, Universal Renko reveals the underlying trend with unparalleled clarity. Up trends are clean successions of green bricks; down trends are clear red bricks. No more guesswork.
❖ The Context of Candlesticks: Because the Renko logic is an overlay, you retain your time axis, your volume data, and full compatibility with every other time-based indicator in your arsenal (RSI, MACD, Moving Averages, etc.).
The true magic, however, lies in its live, Unconfirmed Renko brick. This semi-transparent box is your window into the current bar's real-time struggle. It grows, shrinks, and changes color with every tick, showing you exactly how close the price is to confirming the trend or forcing a reversal. It’s no longer a lagging indicator; it’s a live look at the current battle between buyers and sellers.
Universal Renko Bars unifies these two powerful charting methods, transforming your chart into a more intelligent, noise-free, and predictive analytical canvas.
HOW TO USE
To get the most out of Universal Renko Bars, here are a few tips and a full breakdown of the settings.
Initial Setup for the Best Experience
For the cleanest possible view, it's highly recommended that you hide the body of your standard candlesticks, that shows only the skelton of the candle. This allows the Renko bricks to become the primary focus of your chart.
→ Double click on the candles and uncheck the body checkbox.
Settings Breakdown
The indicator is designed to be powerful yet intuitive. The settings are grouped to make customization easy.
First, What is a "Tick"?
Before we dive in, it's important to understand the concept of a "Tick." In Universal Renko, a Tick is not the same as a market tick. It's a fundamental unit of price movement that you define. For example, if you set the Tick Size to $0.50, then a price move of $1.00 is equal to 2 Ticks. This is the core building block for all Renko bricks. Tick size here is dynamically determined by the settings provided in the indicator.
❖ Calculation Method (The "Tick Size" Engine)
This section determines the monetary value of a single "Tick."
`Calculation Method` : Choose your preferred engine for defining the Tick Size.
`ATR Based` (Default): The Tick Size becomes dynamic, based on market volatility (Average True Range). Bricks will get larger in volatile markets and smaller in quiet ones. Use the `ATR 14 Multiplier` to control the sensitivity.
`Percentage` : The Tick Size is a simple percentage of the current asset price, controlled by the `Percent Size (%)` input.
`Auto` : The "set it and forget it" mode. The script intelligently calculates a Tick Size based on the asset's price. Use the `Auto Sensitivity` slider to make these automatically calculated bricks thicker (value > 1.0) or thinner (value < 1.0).
❖ Parameters (The Core Renko Engine)
This group controls how the bricks are constructed based on the Tick Size.
`Tick Trend` : The number of "Ticks" the price must move in the same direction to print a new continuation brick. A smaller value means bricks form more easily.
`Tick Reversal` : The number of "Ticks" the price must move in the opposite direction to print a new reversal brick. This is typically set higher than `Tick Trend` (e.g., double) to filter out minor pullbacks and market noise.
`Open Offset` : Controls the visual overlap of the bricks. A value of `0` creates gapless bricks that start where the last one ended. A value of `2` (with a `Tick Reversal` of 4) creates the classic 50% overlap look.
❖ Visuals (Controlling What You See)
This is where you tailor the chart to your visual preference.
`Show Confirmed Renko` : Toggles the solid-colored, historical bricks. These are finalized and will never change. They represent the confirmed past trend.
`Show Unconfirmed Renko` : This is the most powerful visual feature. It toggles the live, semi-transparent box that represents the developing brick. It shows you exactly where the price is right now in relation to the levels needed to form the next brick.
`Show Max/Min Levels` : Toggles the horizontal "finish lines" on your chart. The green line is the price target for a bullish brick, and the red line is the target for a bearish brick. These are excellent for spotting breakouts.
`Show Info Label` : Toggles the on-chart label that provides key real-time stats:
🧱 Bricks: The total count of confirmed bricks.
⏳ Live: How many chart bars the current live brick has been forming. These bars forms the Renko bricks that aren't confirmed yet. Live = 0 means the latest renko brick is confirmed.
🌲 Tick Size: The current calculated value of a single Tick.
Hover over the label for a tooltip with live RSI(14), MFI(14), and CCI(20) data for additional confirmation.
TRADING STRATEGIES & IDEAS
Universal Renko Bars isn't just a visual tool; it's a foundation for building robust trading strategies.
Trend Confirmation: The primary use is to instantly identify the trend. A series of green bricks indicates a strong uptrend; a series of red bricks indicates a strong downtrend. Use this to filter out trades that go against the primary momentum.
Reversal Spotting: Pay close attention to the Unconfirmed Brick . When a strong trend is in place and the live brick starts to fight against it—changing color and growing larger—it can be an early warning that a reversal is imminent. Wait for the brick to be confirmed for a higher probability entry.
Breakout Trading: The `Max/Min Levels` are your dynamic breakout zones. A long entry can be considered when the price breaks and closes above the green Max Level, confirming a new bullish brick. A short entry can be taken when price breaks below the red Min Level.
Confluence & Indicator Synergy: This is where Universal Renko truly shines. Overlay a moving average (e.g., 20 EMA). Only take long trades when the green bricks are forming above the EMA. Combine it with RSI or MACD; a bearish reversal brick forming while the RSI shows bearish divergence is a very powerful signal.
A FINAL WORD
Universal Renko Bars was designed to solve a fundamental problem in technical analysis. It brings together the best elements of two powerful methodologies to give you a clearer, more actionable view of the market. By filtering noise while retaining context, it empowers you to make decisions with greater confidence.

Dynamic SL/TP Levels (ATR or Fixed %)This indicator, "Dynamic SL/TP Levels (ATR or Fixed %)", is designed to help traders visualize potential stop loss (SL) and take profit (TP) levels for both long and short positions, refreshing dynamically on each new bar. It assumes entry at the current bar's close price and uses a fixed 1:2 risk-reward ratio (TP is twice the distance of SL in the profit direction). Levels are displayed in a compact table in the chart pane for easy reference, without cluttering the main chart with lines.
Key Features:
Calculation Modes:
ATR-Based (Dynamic): SL distance is derived from the Average True Range (ATR) multiplied by a user-defined factor (default 1.5x). This adapts to the asset's volatility, providing breathing room based on recent price movements.
Fixed Percentage: SL is set as a direct percentage of the current close price (default 0.5%), offering consistent gaps regardless of volatility.
Long and Short Support: Calculates and shows SL/TP for longs (SL below close, TP above) and shorts (SL above close, TP below), with toggles to hide/show each.
Real-Time Updates: Levels recalculate every bar, making them readily available for entry decisions in your trading system.
Display: Outputs to a table in the top-right pane, showing precise values formatted to the asset's tick size (e.g., full decimal places for crypto).
How to Use:
Add the indicator to your chart via TradingView's Pine Editor or library.
Adjust settings:
Toggle "Use ATR?" on/off to switch modes.
Set "ATR Length" (default 14) and "ATR Multiplier for SL" for dynamic mode.
Set "Fixed SL %" for percentage mode.
Enable/disable "Show Long Levels" or "Show Short Levels" as needed.
Interpret the table: Use the displayed SL/TP values when your strategy signals an entry. For risk management, combine with position sizing (e.g., risk 1% of account per trade based on SL distance).
Example: On a volatile asset like BTC, ATR mode might set a wider SL for realism; on stable pairs, fixed % ensures predictability.
This tool promotes disciplined trading by tying levels to price action or fixed rules, but it's not financial advice—always backtest and use with your full strategy. Feedback welcome!
True Breakout Pattern [TradingFinder] Breakout Signal Indicator🔵 Introduction
In many market conditions, what initially appears to be a decisive breakout often turns out to be nothing more than a false breakout or fake breakout. Price breaks through a key swing level or an important support and resistance zone, only to quickly return to its previous range.
These failed breakouts, which are often the result of liquidity traps or market manipulation, serve more as a warning sign of structural weakness than confirmation of a new trend.
This indicator is designed around the concept of the fake breakout.
The logic is simple but precise : when price breaks a swing level and returns to that level within a maximum of five candles, the move is considered a false breakout. At this point, a Fibonacci retracement is applied to the recent price swing to evaluate the pullback area.
If price, within ten candles after the return to the breakout level, enters the Fibonacci zone between 0.618 and 1.0, the setup becomes valid for a potential entry. This area is identified as a long entry zone, with the stop loss placed just beyond the 1.0 level and the take profit defined based on the desired risk-to-reward ratio.
By combining accurate detection of false breakouts, analysis of price reaction to swing levels, and alignment with Fibonacci retracement logic, this framework allows traders to identify opportunities often missed by others. In a market where failed breakouts are a common and recurring phenomenon, this indicator aims to transform these traps into measurable trading opportunities.
Long Setup :
Short Setup :
🔵 How to Use
This indicator operates based on the recognition of false breakouts from structural levels in the market, specifically swing levels, and combines that with Fibonacci retracement analysis.
In this strategy, trades are only considered when price returns to the broken level within a defined time window and reacts appropriately inside a predefined Fibonacci range. Depending on the direction of the initial breakout, the system outlines two scenarios for long and short setups.
🟣 Long Setup
In the long setup, price initially breaks below a support level or swing low. If the price returns to the broken level within a maximum of five candles, the move is identified as a fake breakout.
At this stage, a Fibonacci retracement is drawn from the recent high to the low. If price, within ten candles of returning to the level, moves into the 0.618 to 1.0 Fibonacci zone, the conditions for a long entry are met.
The stop loss is placed slightly below the 1.0 level, while the take profit is set based on the trader’s preferred risk-reward ratio. This setup aims to capture deeply discounted entries at low risk, aligned with smart money reversals.
🟣 Short Setup
In the short setup, the price breaks above a resistance level or swing high. If the price returns to that level within five candles, the move is again treated as a false breakout. Fibonacci is then drawn from the recent low to the high to observe the retracement area.
Should price enter the 0.618 to 1.0 Fibonacci range within ten candles of returning, a short entry is considered valid. In this case, the stop loss is placed just above the 1.0 level, and the take profit is adjusted based on the intended risk-reward target. This method allows traders to identify high-probability short setups by focusing on failed breakouts and deep pullbacks.
🔵 Settings
🟣 Logical settings
Swing period : You can set the swing detection period.
Valid After Trigger Bars : Limits how many candles after a fake breakout the entry zone remains valid.
Max Swing Back Method : It is in two modes "All" and "Custom". If it is in "All" mode, it will check all swings, and if it is in "Custom" mode, it will check the swings to the extent you determine.
Max Swing Back : You can set the number of swings that will go back for checking.
🟣 Display settings
Displaying or not displaying swings and setting the color of labels and lines.
🟣 Alert Settings
Alert False Breakout : Enables alerts for Breakout.
Message Frequency : Determines the frequency of alerts. Options include 'All' (every function call), 'Once Per Bar' (first call within the bar), and 'Once Per Bar Close' (final script execution of the real-time bar). Default is 'Once per Bar'.
Show Alert Time by Time Zone : Configures the time zone for alert messages. Default is 'UTC'.
🔵 Conclusion
A sound understanding of the false breakout phenomenon and its relationship to structural price behavior is essential for technical traders aiming to improve precision and consistency. Many poor trading decisions stem from misinterpreting failed breakouts and entering too early into weak signals.
A structured approach, grounded in the analysis of swing levels and validated through specific price action and timing rules, can turn these misleading moves into valuable trade opportunities.
This indicator, by combining fake breakout detection with time filters and Fibonacci-based retracement zones, helps traders only engage with the market when multiple confirming factors are in alignment. The result is a strategy that emphasizes probability, risk control, and clarity in decision-making, offering a solid edge in navigating today’s volatile markets.
GCM Bull Bear RiderGCM Bull Bear Rider (GCM BBR)
Your Ultimate Trend-Riding Companion
GCM Bull Bear Rider is a comprehensive, all-in-one trend analysis tool designed to eliminate guesswork and provide a crystal-clear view of market direction. By leveraging a highly responsive Jurik Moving Average (JMA), this indicator not only identifies bullish and bearish trends with precision but also tracks their performance in real-time, helping you ride the waves of momentum from start to finish.
Whether you are a scalper, day trader, or swing trader, the GCM BBR adapts to your style, offering a clean, intuitive, and powerful visual guide to the market's pulse.
Key Features
JMA-Powered Trend Lines (UTPL & DTPL): The core of the indicator. A green "Up Trend Period Line" (UTPL) appears when the JMA's slope turns positive (buyers are in control), and a red "Down Trend Period Line" (DTPL) appears when the slope turns negative (sellers are in control). The JMA is used for its low lag and superior smoothing, giving you timely and reliable trend signals.
Live Profit Tracking Labels: This is the standout feature. As soon as a trend period begins, a label appears showing the real-time profit (P:) from the trend's starting price. This label moves with the trend, giving you instant feedback on its performance and helping you make informed trade management decisions.
Historical Performance Analysis: The profit labels remain on the chart for completed trends, allowing you to instantly review past performance. See at a glance which trends were profitable and which were not, aiding in strategy refinement and backtesting.
Automatic Chart Decluttering: To keep your chart clean and focused on significant moves, the indicator automatically removes the historical profit label for any trend that fails to achieve a minimum profit threshold (default is 0.5 points).
Dual-Ribbon Momentum System:
JMA / Short EMA Ribbon: Visualizes short-term momentum. A green fill indicates immediate bullish strength, while a red fill shows bearish pressure.
Short EMA / Long EMA Ribbon: Acts as a long-term trend filter, providing broader market context for your decisions.
"GCM Hunt" Entry Signals: The indicator includes optional pullback entry signals (green and red triangles). These appear when the price pulls back to a key moving average and then recovers in the direction of the primary trend, offering high-probability entry opportunities.
How to Use
Identify the Trend: Look for the appearance of a solid green line (UTPL) for a bullish bias or a solid red line (DTPL) for a bearish bias. Use the wider EMA ribbon for macro trend confirmation.
Time Your Entry: For aggressive entries, you can enter as soon as a new trend line appears. For more conservative entries, wait for a "GCM Hunt" triangle signal, which confirms a successful pullback.
Ride the Trend & Manage Your Trade: The moving profit label (P:) is your guide. As long as the trend line continues and the profit is increasing, you can confidently stay in the trade. A flattening JMA or a decreasing profit value can signal that the trend is losing steam.
Focus Your Strategy: Use the Display Mode setting to switch between "Buyers Only," "Sellers Only," or both. This allows you to completely hide opposing signals and focus solely on long or short opportunities.
Core Settings
Display Mode: The master switch. Choose to see visuals for "Buyers & Sellers," "Buyers Only," or "Sellers Only."
JMA Settings (Length, Phase): Fine-tune the responsiveness of the core JMA engine.
EMA Settings (Long, Short): Adjust the lengths of the moving averages that define the ribbons and "Hunt" signals.
Label Offset (ATR Multiplier): Customize the gap between the trend lines and the profit labels to avoid overlap with candles.
Filters (EMA, RSI, ATR, Strong Candle): Enable or disable various confirmation filters to strengthen the "Hunt" entry signals according to your risk tolerance.

Supply & Demand MTF[E7T]This is not your average supply and demand tool. it’s a powerful, flexible indicator that helps traders spot high-probability opportunities by adapting to real-time market conditions. It uses a smart combination of volatility (ATR), volume, and price action to identify key zones where the market is likely to react. Perfect for scalpers and swing traders alike, this strategy brings together adaptive zone detection, trend bias (pivot line), two-tiered signals (S1 and S2), volume filtering, built-in Fibonacci targets, and even a debug mode for transparency and performance tracking.
KEY FEATURES
1. ADAPTIVE ZONE DETECTION; This feature highlights areas where price is likely to bounce or reversebullish demand zones and bearish supply zones. Instead of using fixed levels, it adjusts based on market volatility.
HOW IT WORKS:
Uses Average True Range (ATR) to measure volatility.
TWO MODES:
Low Volatility Mode: Makes zones tighter for calm markets.
High Volatility Mode: Expands zones during choppy or fast-moving conditions.
Plots red boxes for supply zones and blue for demand zones. Zones extend until broken or naturally expire.
WHY IT MATTERS: Traditional zone indicators often fall short in fast-changing conditions. This one adjusts automatically, helping you stay one step ahead.
EXAMPLE: On a 4H BTCUSD chart, a demand zone will form at a key support level and adjust its size depending on whether the market is quiet or volatile.
2. MARKET BIAS PIVOT LINE; This dynamic line helps you quickly see whether the market is trending up or down so you can trade in the direction of strength.
HOW IT WORKS:
Based on recent swing highs and lows (default: last 4 bars).
Line is green when price is above (bullish), red when below (bearish).
Updates live and can be turned on/off in settings.
WHY IT MATTERS: It’s a built-in trend filter. Use it to avoid fighting the market.
EXAMPLE: If SPY is above a green pivot and enters a demand zone, it’s a solid bullish setup.
3. DUAL ENTRY SIGNALS (S1 and S2) The strategy gives you two signal types depending on your risk style:
S1 SIGNALS: Early entry, based on basic confirmation (like a bullish engulfing pattern).
S2 SIGNALS: Stronger entry, requiring solid candle confirmation, volume spike, and close near the zone.
HOW IT WORKS:
S1 = good for aggressive traders or small size entries.
S2 = better for high-conviction trades and bigger position sizes.
Both signals follow your selected market mood (bullish or bearish).
WHY IT MATTERS: Flexibility! Most indicators only offer one signal style. This one gives you choice.
EXAMPLE: In EURUSD, S1 might show up when price taps a demand zone and forms a small bullish candle. If volume increases and the next candle closes strong, S2 confirms the entry.
4. VOLUME CONFIRMATION This filters out weak signals by checking for real buying/selling interest.
HOW IT WORKS:
Compares current volume to previous bar and a 10–14 bar average.
Adjustable volume thresholds for S1 and S2.
Can be disabled for markets with unreliable volume (like certain forex pairs).
WHY IT MATTERS: It adds a layer of quality control. High-volume moves usually mean higher conviction.
EXAMPLE: On AAPL, an S2 will only trigger if volume jumps by 1.3x the average, signaling strong seller presence.
5. BUILT-IN FIBONACCI TARGETS (TP1, TP2, SL) No more guessing exits. The strategy draws take profit (TP) and stop loss (SL) levels automatically based on zone size.
HOW IT WORKS:
TP1 = 2.12x the zone height
TP2 = 3.3x the zone height
SL = 1x the zone height (all adjustable)
These are shown as dashed (TP) and solid (SL) lines with labels
WHY IT MATTERS: Reduces emotional decision-making. Helps you plan trades with consistent risk/reward.
Example: In GOLD, if the demand zone is $20 tall, TP1 would be ~$42.40 higher, TP2 ~$66 higher, and SL $20 lower.
6. FULLY CUSTOMIZABLE INPUTS Tweak the settings to match your style and asset type.
KEY INPUTS:
Market Mood: Choose bullish (1) or bearish (2)
Timeframe Filter: Focus only on reliable zones (30M or 4H) or can disable to show on every timeframe
Zone Limit: Limit how many zones show (e.g., max 4)
Breakout Buffer: Defines how much price must move to break a zone
Zone Opacity: Make zones more/less visible
WHY IT MATTERS: This lets you dial in the indicator for scalping, swing trading, crypto, stocks, or forex.
Example: A scalper might use tighter zones and a low breakout buffer, while a swing trader prefers more zones and higher volatility mode.
7. DEBUG MODE (Optional) Get under the hood and see exactly how the strategy works.
HOW IT WORKS:
Shows metrics like ATR, volatility mode, memory usage, signal win rate, etc.
Plots visual lines showing zone age and success rate (TP1 hit tracking)
WHY IT MATTERS: Very few indicators show their math. This one does—great for power users who want to optimize.
EXAMPLE: You might discover that signals perform best in high volatility mode during news events, helping you adjust settings accordingly.
HOW TO USE IT
1. Add it to your TradingView chart (30M or 4H timeframes recommended).
2. Adjust inputs:
Market Mood = 1 (bullish) or 2 (bearish)
Pick your Volatility Mode
Set Zone Collector Limit (3–4 works well)
Use Timeframe Filter for better signals
3. Watch for S1 and S2:
S1 = quicker trades, lighter risk
S2 = stronger confirmation, bigger trades
4. Use the Pivot Line for trade direction.
5. Manage exits with auto TP/SL levels.
6. Turn on Debug Mode if you want detailed stats.
WORKS VERY WELL WITHOUT REPAINTING
Why It’s a Game-Changer; IT takes the guesswork out of zone trading. It’s not just smart—it’s adaptive. From volatility and volume to dynamic signals and exit plans, everything adjusts based on what the market is doing. And with a built-in trend filter and real-time debug info, it’s like having a trading co-pilot that’s always alert.
Why It’s Different Most zone indicators are basic. This one isn’t. Here’s why:
Adaptive zones that change with the market
Dual signal system (S1/S2) for flexibility
Volume confirmation to filter noise
Built-in Fibonacci targets for clean exits
Debug mode that shows you how it works
YOU CAN SET ALERTS WITHOUT repainting
THIS isn’t just another tool—it’s a smarter, more responsive way to trade.
ICT Setup 04 [TradingFinder] SFP Sweep Liquidity Fake CHoCH/BOS🔵 Introduction
In smart money and ICT based trading, liquidity is never random. Some of the most meaningful market moves begin with a liquidity sweep where price intentionally hunts a previous swing high or swing low to trigger stop loss orders and absorb volume.
This manipulation is often followed by a sharp reversal from a reaction zone, creating ideal conditions for a high probability entry. This indicator is built to detect exactly that. It identifies a valid swing point and defines a reaction zone where price is likely to react.
For short setups, the zone lies between the swing high and the maximum of the candle’s open or close. For long setups, it’s drawn from the swing low to the minimum of the open or close.
When price returns to this zone and forms a qualified confirmation candle typically a doji or a small bodied candle that closes inside the zone while sweeping the liquidity this is a potential sign of reversal.
The candle must show both the sweep and the inability to hold above or below the key level, signaling a fake breakout or failed move. By combining elements of liquidity hunt, reaction zone rejection, and candle based entry confirmation, this tool highlights sniper entry points used by smart money to trap retail traders and reverse the trend. It helps filter out noise and enhances timing, making it ideal for trading in alignment with institutional order flow.
Long Position :
Short Position :
🔵 How to Use
This indicator is designed to highlight precise moments where price sweeps liquidity and reacts within a high probability reversal zone. By identifying clean swing highs and lows and defining a smart reaction zone around them, it filters out weak fakeouts and focuses only on setups with strong institutional footprints.
The tool works best when combined with market structure analysis and is suitable for both scalping and intraday trading. Below is a breakdown of how to interpret the signals for long and short positions based on the visual setups provided.
🟣 Long Setup
In a long setup, the indicator first detects a valid swing low where liquidity has likely accumulated below. A reaction zone is then drawn between the swing low and the minimum of the open or close of the swing candle.
When price returns to this zone, it must sweep the previous low and form a precise confirmation candle, such as a doji or a small bodied candle, that closes inside the zone. This candle must also reject the lower level, showing failure to continue downward.
As shown in the chart, once the liquidity grab is complete and the confirmation candle forms, a clean long signal is issued, indicating a potential bullish reversal backed by smart money behavior.
🟣 Short Setup
In a short setup, the indicator identifies a swing high where buy-side liquidity is resting. It then constructs a reaction zone between the high and the maximum of the open or close of the swing candle. Price must return to this zone, sweep the swing high, and form a bearish confirmation candle inside the zone.
A classic example is a doji or rejection candle that traps breakout buyers and fails to hold above the previous high. In the provided chart, the price aggressively hunts the liquidity above the swing high, but the close within the reaction zone signals exhaustion, prompting a short signal with high reversal probability.
These setups represent moments where price action, liquidity behavior, and candle structure align to offer strong entries. By focusing on clean sweeps and reactive confirmations, the indicator helps traders stay on the side of smart money and avoid common breakout traps.
🔵 Settings
🟣 Logical settings
Swing period : You can set the swing detection period.
Max Swing Back Method : It is in two modes "All" and "Custom". If it is in "All" mode, it will check all swings, and if it is in "Custom" mode, it will check the swings to the extent you determine.
Max Swing Back : You can set the number of swings that will go back for checking.
Maximum Distance Between Swing and Signal :The maximum number of candles allowed between the swing point and the potential signal. The default value is 50, ensuring that only recent and relevant price reactions are considered valid.
🟣 Display settings
Displaying or not displaying swings and setting the color of labels and lines.
🟣 Alert Settings
Alert SFP : Enables alerts for Swing Failure Pattern.
Message Frequency : Determines the frequency of alerts. Options include 'All' (every function call), 'Once Per Bar' (first call within the bar), and 'Once Per Bar Close' (final script execution of the real-time bar). Default is 'Once per Bar'.
Show Alert Time by Time Zone : Configures the time zone for alert messages. Default is 'UTC'.
🔵 Conclusion
This indicator is built for traders who rely on liquidity driven setups and smart money principles. By combining swing structure analysis with precision reaction zones and strict entry confirmation, it isolates the exact moments where price sweeps liquidity and fails to continue. These are high value points where institutional activity often reveals itself, and retail traps unfold.
Unlike generic breakout tools, this script focuses on quality over quantity by requiring both a sweep of a swing high or low and a confirmed rejection candle that closes inside a predefined zone. With customizable swing depth, proximity filters, visual highlights, and alert functions, it offers a complete framework for identifying and acting on fake breakouts with confidence. Whether you trade forex, crypto, or indices, this tool enhances your ability to align with true order flow and take entries where liquidity is most likely to shift.
Tensor Market Analysis Engine (TMAE)# Tensor Market Analysis Engine (TMAE)
## Advanced Multi-Dimensional Mathematical Analysis System
*Where Quantum Mathematics Meets Market Structure*
---
## 🎓 THEORETICAL FOUNDATION
The Tensor Market Analysis Engine represents a revolutionary synthesis of three cutting-edge mathematical frameworks that have never before been combined for comprehensive market analysis. This indicator transcends traditional technical analysis by implementing advanced mathematical concepts from quantum mechanics, information theory, and fractal geometry.
### 🌊 Multi-Dimensional Volatility with Jump Detection
**Hawkes Process Implementation:**
The TMAE employs a sophisticated Hawkes process approximation for detecting self-exciting market jumps. Unlike traditional volatility measures that treat price movements as independent events, the Hawkes process recognizes that market shocks cluster and exhibit memory effects.
**Mathematical Foundation:**
```
Intensity λ(t) = μ + Σ α(t - Tᵢ)
```
Where market jumps at times Tᵢ increase the probability of future jumps through the decay function α, controlled by the Hawkes Decay parameter (0.5-0.99).
**Mahalanobis Distance Calculation:**
The engine calculates volatility jumps using multi-dimensional Mahalanobis distance across up to 5 volatility dimensions:
- **Dimension 1:** Price volatility (standard deviation of returns)
- **Dimension 2:** Volume volatility (normalized volume fluctuations)
- **Dimension 3:** Range volatility (high-low spread variations)
- **Dimension 4:** Correlation volatility (price-volume relationship changes)
- **Dimension 5:** Microstructure volatility (intrabar positioning analysis)
This creates a volatility state vector that captures market behavior impossible to detect with traditional single-dimensional approaches.
### 📐 Hurst Exponent Regime Detection
**Fractal Market Hypothesis Integration:**
The TMAE implements advanced Rescaled Range (R/S) analysis to calculate the Hurst exponent in real-time, providing dynamic regime classification:
- **H > 0.6:** Trending (persistent) markets - momentum strategies optimal
- **H < 0.4:** Mean-reverting (anti-persistent) markets - contrarian strategies optimal
- **H ≈ 0.5:** Random walk markets - breakout strategies preferred
**Adaptive R/S Analysis:**
Unlike static implementations, the TMAE uses adaptive windowing that adjusts to market conditions:
```
H = log(R/S) / log(n)

Arnaud Legoux Trend Aggregator | Lyro RSArnaud Legoux Trend Aggregator
Introduction
Arnaud Legoux Trend Aggregator is a custom-built trend analysis tool that blends classic market oscillators with advanced normalization, advanced math functions and Arnaud Legoux smoothing. Unlike conventional indicators, 𝓐𝓛𝓣𝓐 aggregates market momentum, volatility and trend strength.
Signal Insight
The 𝓐𝓛𝓣𝓐 line visually reflects the aggregated directional bias. A rise above the middle line threshold signals bullish strength, while a drop below the middle line indicates bearish momentum.
Another way to interpret the 𝓐𝓛𝓣𝓐 is through overbought and oversold conditions. When the 𝓐𝓛𝓣𝓐 rises above the +0.7 threshold, it suggests an overbought market and signals a strong uptrend. Conversely, a drop below the -0.7 level indicates an oversold condition and a strong downtrend.
When the oscillator hovers near the zero line, especially within the neutral ±0.3 band, it suggests that no single directional force is dominating—common during consolidation phases or pre-breakout compression.
Real-World Example
Usually 𝓐𝓛𝓣𝓐 is used by following the bar color for simple signals; however, like most indicators there are unique ways to use an indicator. Let’s dive deep into such ways.
The market begins with a green bar color, raising awareness for a potential long setup—but not a direct entry. In this methodology, bar coloring serves as an alert mechanism rather than a strict entry trigger.
The first long position was initiated when the 𝓐𝓛𝓣𝓐 signal line crossed above the +0.3 threshold, suggesting a shift in directional acceleration. This entry coincided with a rising price movement, validating the trade.
As price advanced, the position was exited into cash—not reversed into a short—because the short criteria for this use case are distinct. The exit was prompted by 𝓐𝓛𝓣𝓐 crossing back below the +0.3 level, signaling the potential weakening of the long trend.
Later, as 𝓐𝓛𝓣𝓐 crossed below 0, attention shifted toward short opportunities. A short entry was confirmed when 𝓐𝓛𝓣𝓐 dipped below -0.3, indicating growing downside momentum. The position was eventually closed when 𝓐𝓛𝓣𝓐 crossed back above the -0.3 boundary—signaling a possible deceleration of the bearish move.
This logic was consistently applied in subsequent setups, emphasizing the role of 𝓐𝓛𝓣𝓐’s thresholds in guiding both entries and exits.
Framework
The Arnaud Legoux Trend Aggregator (ALTA) combines multiple technical indicators into a single smoothed signal. It uses RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands, Stochastic Momentum Index, and ATR.
Each indicator's output is normalized to a common scale to eliminate bias and ensure consistency. These normalized values are then transformed using a hyperbolic tangent function (Tanh).
The final score is refined with a custom Arnaud Legoux Moving Average (ALMA) function, which offers responsive smoothing that adapts quickly to price changes. This results in a clear signal that reacts efficiently to shifting market conditions.

Zero Lag Multi Timeframe MACDCommon parts of the Multi Time Frame MACD
Why This MACD is Special
Traditional MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) is a powerful trend-following indicator, but it has a key limitation: it only reflects price action on a single timeframe. Traders who rely on top-down analysis—analyzing higher timeframes first before moving to lower ones—often face a frustrating delay.
The Problem with Traditional Multi-Timeframe MACD with top down analysis:
If you’re on a 5-minute chart and want to see the 1-hour MACD, you must wait for 12 candles (1 hour) to close before the MACD updates.
This lag means you miss real-time signals and react too late to trend changes.
The Zero Lag Multi-Timeframe MACD solves this by using a custom time-adjusted formula (developed by CoffeeShopCrypto) that projects higher timeframe MACD values onto lower timeframe charts in real time.
How Traders Normally Use MACD
Single-Timeframe MACD (Traditional Approach)
Used for trend identification (bullish/bearish).
Crossovers (MACD line crossing signal line) signal potential entries.
Divergences (price vs. MACD direction) warn of trend exhaustion.
Top-Down Analysis with Standard MACD (Manual Switching)
1. Check higher timeframe (e.g., 1-hour) for trend direction.
2. Switch to lower timeframe (e.g., 5-minute) for entries.
Problem: You must constantly switch charts and wait for higher timeframe candles to close.
This MACD Eliminates the Need for Switching
Higher timeframe MACD is plotted in real time on your lower timeframe chart.
No waiting for candle closes—instant trend confirmation.
Single-chart top-down analysis without switching timeframes.
How to Use This MACD for Trading
Since the MACD is an averaging indicator, it works best when trading with the trend. This version enhances that by showing two trends at once:
Lower Timeframe (LTF) MACD – Your current chart’s trend.
Higher Timeframe (HTF) MACD – The dominant trend.
Key Trading Rules
1. Strong Uptrend Setup (Best for Long Entries)
HTF MACD line is rising & above zero (strong bullish momentum).
LTF MACD line is also rising (confirms alignment).
Entry: Look for LTF MACD to cross above signal line.
Long Entry Confirmation:
When both the High Timeframe and Low Timeframe MACD Lines are moving in the same direction, this is a confirmation that both the HTF is matching the direction of the LTF.
In this example both MACD Lines are moving long so we are only looking to take long entries at this point forward.
Short Entry Confirmation:
When both the High Timeframe and Low Timeframe MACD Lines are moving in the same direction, this is a confirmation that both the HTF is matching the direction of the LTF.
In this example both MACD Lines are moving short so we are only looking to take long entries at this point forward.
2. Potential Reversal or Weak Uptrend
Trend Divergence Confirmation
This example shows you a confirmation of divergence between the trends. Its best to watch for a continuation of the previous major trend. In this example, we just came off a downtrend with a GAP DOWN.
How to see it: (Trend Divergence)
Two things will help you confirm this divergence
1.Notice the LTF and HTF MACD are moving away from each other.
2. Both the HTF and LTF Histogram are shrinking.
This is an expression of lack of trend.
What to do:
High Timeframe Trends are always the lead so wait for the Low Timeframe to catch up to the High Timeframe trend.
Limitations:
The Exponential Moving Average calculation can only be applied to the Low Timeframe MACD because of the way its weighted against more recent price action and closing values.
This same EMA calculation can not be applied to the High Timeframe MACD as its being recalculated and the result means you can not weigh values against its current plot point.
Low Timeframe MACD can use EMA / SMA
High Timeframe MACD can only use SMA

How Can You Use the Decode MAT in Your Trading?
This toolkit is incredibly versatile and can be adapted to various trading strategies:
Trend Identification:
Use longer-term MAs (e.g., 50, 100, 200 period) to identify the prevailing market trend. When prices are consistently above these MAs, it suggests an uptrend, and vice-versa.
Observe the MA ribbons: A consistently green ribbon can indicate a strong uptrend, while a red ribbon can signal a downtrend. The widening or narrowing of the ribbon can also suggest changes in trend momentum.
Dynamic Support & Resistance:
Shorter-term MAs (e.g., 10, 20 period EMAs) can act as dynamic levels of support in an uptrend or resistance in a downtrend. Look for price pullbacks to these MAs as potential entry opportunities.
Crossover Signals (Entries & Exits):
Golden Cross / Death Cross: Configure alerts for classic crossover signals. For example, a 50-period MA crossing above a 200-period MA (Golden Cross) is often seen as a long-term bullish signal. Conversely, a 50-period MA crossing below a 200-period MA (Death Cross) can be a bearish signal.
Shorter-Term Signals: Use crossovers of shorter-term MAs (e.g., EMA 10 crossing EMA 20) for more frequent, shorter-term trading signals. A fast MA crossing above a slow MA can signal a buy, while a cross below can signal a sell.
Use the on-chart symbols for quick visual confirmation of these crossover events.
Confirmation Tool:
Combine the Decode MAT with other indicators (like RSI, MACD, or volume analysis) to confirm signals and increase the probability of successful trades. For instance, a bullish MA crossover combined with an oversold RSI reading could strengthen a buy signal.
Multi-Timeframe Analysis:
Apply the toolkit across different timeframes to get a broader market perspective. A long-term uptrend on the daily chart, confirmed by a short-term bullish crossover on the 1-hour chart, can provide a higher-confidence entry.
The DECODE Moving Average Toolkit empowers you to tailor your MA analysis precisely to your needs.
