BPR [TakingProphets]The BPR (Balanced Price Range) Indicator by Taking Prophets is built for traders who follow ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts and smart money strategies. In ICT methodology, a Balanced Price Range (BPR) occurs when price rapidly moves in one direction, creating an imbalance that often gets revisited before price continues its trend. These areas represent inefficiencies in the market where liquidity was not properly distributed, making them key zones for potential retracements and trade setups.
How the Indicator Works:
🔹 Automatically Detects BPRs – No need to manually mark imbalances; the indicator highlights them for you.
🔹 Helps Identify Smart Money Footprints – Spot areas where price is likely to retrace and rebalance liquidity.
🔹 Customizable Sensitivity – Adjust detection parameters based on your preferred trading style.
🔹 Works Across All Markets – Apply it to Forex, Futures, Crypto, and Stocks on TradingView.
🔹 Clean and Intuitive Interface – Designed to be simple yet powerful for both new and experienced traders.

Financials Score All Description of the "Financials Score All" Script
This Pine Script calculates a financial score for a specific stock, based on various financial metrics. The purpose is to provide a comprehensive numerical score that reflects the financial health of the stock. The score is calculated using multiple financial indicators, including profitability, valuation, debt management, and liquidity. Here’s a breakdown of what each part of the script does:
period = input.string('FQ', 'Period', options= )
FQ refers to Quarterly financial data.
FY refers to Fiscal Year financial data.
Financial Metrics:
The script uses various financial metrics to calculate the score. These are obtained via request.financial, which retrieves financial data for the stock from TradingView's database. Below are the metrics used:
opmar (Operating Margin): Measures the company's profitability as a percentage of revenue.
eps (Earnings Per Share): Represents the portion of a company's profit allocated to each outstanding share.
eps_ttm (Earnings Per Share – Trailing Twelve Months): EPS over the most recent 12 months.
pe_ratio (Price-to-Earnings Ratio): A measure of the price investors are willing to pay for a stock relative to its earnings.
pb_ratio (Price-to-Book Ratio): A valuation ratio comparing a company’s market value to its book value.
de_ratio (Debt-to-Equity Ratio): A measure of the company’s financial leverage, showing how much debt it has compared to shareholders' equity.
roe_pb (Return on Equity Adjusted to Book): Measures the company's profitability relative to its book value.
fcf_per_share (Free Cash Flow per Share): Represents the free cash flow available for dividends, debt reduction, or reinvestment, per share.
pfcf_ratio (Price-to-Free-Cash-Flow Ratio): A measure comparing a company’s market value to its free cash flow.
current_ratio (Current Ratio): A liquidity ratio that measures a company's ability to pay short-term obligations with its current assets.
RSI Calculation:
The script calculates the Relative Strength Index (RSI) for the stock using an 8-period lookback:
rsi = ta.rsi(close, 8)
Score Calculation:
The script calculates a total score by adding points based on the values of the financial metrics. Each metric is checked against a condition, and if the condition is met, the score is incremented:
If the Operating Margin (opmar) is greater than 20, the score is incremented by 20 points.
If Earnings Per Share (EPS) is positive, 10 points are added.
If the P/E ratio is between 0 and 20, 10 points are added.
If the P/B ratio is less than 3, 10 points are added.
If the Debt-to-Equity ratio is less than 0.8, 10 points are added.
If the Return on Equity Adjusted to Book is greater than 10, 10 points are added.
If the P/FCF ratio is between 0 and 15, 10 points are added.
If the Current Ratio is greater than 1.61, 10 points are added.
If the RSI is less than 35, 10 points are added.
The score is accumulated based on these conditions and stored in the total_score variable.
Displaying the Total Score:
Finally, the total score is plotted on the chart:
Summary of How It Works:
This script calculates a financial score for a stock using a variety of financial indicators. Each metric has a threshold, and when the stock meets certain criteria (for example, a good operating margin, a healthy debt-to-equity ratio, or a low P/E ratio), points are added to the overall score. The result is a single numerical value that reflects the financial health of the stock.
This score can help traders or investors identify companies with strong financials, or serve as a comparison tool between different stocks based on their financial health.
Generally >60 is the best stocks for med and long term trades

This method of financial time series (aka bars) downsampling is literally, naturally, and thankfully the best you can do in terms of maximizing info gain. You can finally chill and feed it to your studies & eyes, and probably use nothing else anymore.
(HL2 and occ3 also have use cases, but other aggregation methods? Not really, even if they do, the use cases are ‘very’ specific). Tho in order to understand why, you gotta read the following wall, or just believe me telling you, ‘I put it on my momma’.
The true story about trading volumes and why this is all a big misdirection
Actually, you don’t need to be a quant to get there. All you gotta do is stop blindly following other people’s contextual (at best) solutions, eg OC2 aggregation xD, and start using your own brain to figure things out.
Every individual trade (basically an imprint on 1D price space that emerges when market orders hit the order book) has several features like: price, time, volume, AND direction (Up if a market buy order hits the asks, Down if a market sell order hits the bids). Now, the last two features—volume and direction—can be effectively combined into one (by multiplying volume by 1 or -1), and this is probably how every order matching engine should output data. If we’re not considering size/direction, we’re leaving data behind. Moreover, trades aren’t just one-price dots all the time. One trade can consume liquidity on several levels of the order book, so a single trade can be several ticks big on the price axis.
You may think now that there are no zero-volume ticks. Well, yes and no. It depends on how you design an exchange and whether you allow intra-spread trades/mid-spread trades (now try to Google it). Intra-spread trades could happen if implemented when a matching engine receives both buy and sell orders at the same microsecond period. This way, you can match the orders with each other at a better price for both parties without even hitting the book and consuming liquidity. Also, if orders have different sizes, the remaining part of the bigger order can be sent to the order book. Basically, this type of trade can be treated as an OTC trade, having zero volume because we never actually hit the book—there’s no imprint. Another reason why it makes sense is when we think about volume as an impact or imbalance act, and how the medium (order book in our case) responds to it, providing information. OTC and mid-spread trades are not aggressive sells or buys; they’re neutral ticks, so to say. However huge they are, sometimes many blocks on NYSE, they don’t move the price because there’s no impact on the medium (again, which is the order book)—they’re not providing information.
... Now, we need to aggregate these trades into, let’s say, 1-hour bars (remember that a trade can have either positive or negative volume). We either don’t want to do it, or we don’t have this kind of information. What we can do is take already aggregated OHLC bars and extract all the info from them. Given the market is fractal, bars & trades gotta have the same set of features:
- Highest & lowest ticks (high & low) <- by price;
- First & last ticks (open & close) <- by time;
- Biggest and smallest ticks <- by volume.*
*e.g., in the array ,
2323: biggest trade,
-1212: smallest trade.
Now, in our world, somehow nobody started to care about the biggest and smallest trades and their inclusion in OHLC data, while this is actually natural. It’s the same way as it’s done with high & low and open & close: we choose the minimum and maximum value of a given feature/axis within the aggregation period.
So, we don’t have these 2 values: biggest and smallest ticks. The best we can do is infer them, and given the fact the biggest and smallest ticks can be located with the same probability everywhere, all we can do is predict them in the middle of the bar, both in time and price axes. That’s why you can see two HL2’s in each of the 3 formulas in the code.
So, summed up absolute volumes that you see in almost every trading platform are actually just a derivative metric, something that I call Type 2 time series in my own (proprietary ‘for now’) methods. It doesn’t have much to do with market orders hitting the non-uniform medium (aka order book); it’s more like a statistic. Still wanna use VWAP? Ok, but you gotta understand you’re weighting Type 1 (natural) time series by Type 2 (synthetic) ones.
How to combine all the data in the right way (khmm khhm ‘order’)
Now, since we have 6 values for each bar, let’s see what information we have about them, what we don’t have, and what we can do about it:
- Open and close: we got both when and where (time (order) and price);
- High and low: we got where, but we don’t know when;
- Biggest & smallest trades: we know shit, we infer it the way it was described before.'
By using the location of the close & open prices relative to the high & low prices, we can make educated guesses about whether high or low was made first in a given bar. It’s not perfect, but it’s ultimately all we can do—this is the very last bit of info we can extract from the data we have.
There are 2 methods for inferring volume delta (which I call simply volume) that are presented everywhere, even here on TradingView. Funny thing is, this is actually 2 parts of the 1 method. I wonder how many folks see through it xD. The same method can be used for both inferring volume delta AND making educated guesses whether high or low was made first.
Imagine and/or find the cases on your charts to understand faster:
* Close > open means we have an up bar and probably the volume is positive, and probably high was made later than low.
* Close < open means we have a down bar and probably the volume is negative, and probably low was made later than high.
Now that’s the point when you see that these 2 mentioned methods are actually parts of the 1 method:
If close = open, we still have another clue: distance from open/close pair to high (HC), and distance from open/close pair to low (LC):
* HC < LC, probably high was made later.
* HC > LC, probably low was made later.
And only if close = open and HC = LC, only in this case we have no clue whether high or low was made earlier within a bar. We simply don’t have any more information to even guess. This bar is called a neutral bar.
At this point, we have both time (order) and price info for each of our 6 values. Now, we have to solve another weighted average problem, and that’s it. We’ll weight prices according to the order we’ve guessed. In the neutral bar case, open has a weight of 1, close has a weight of 3, and both high and low have weights of 2 since we can’t infer which one was made first. In all cases, biggest and smallest ticks are modeled with HL2 and weighted like they’re located in the middle of the bar in a time sense.
P.S.: I’ve also included a "robust" method where all the bars are treated like neutral ones. I’ve used it before; obviously, it has lesser info gain -> works a bit worse.
Price and OI ChangePrice and OI Change
Description:
The "Price and OI Change" indicator provides insights into market dynamics by analyzing the price and open interest (OI) changes over a 7-day period. This indicator is designed for use with both spot and futures markets, including cryptocurrencies.
Key Features:
Price and OI Change Calculation: Computes the 7-day change in price and open interest to help identify market trends and shifts.
Market Conditions Visualization: Differentiates market conditions by changing the background color based on:
Leverage-Driven Market: Blue background indicates increasing prices and OI, suggesting a bullish trend driven by leverage.
Spot-Driven Market: Green background shows increasing prices but decreasing OI, indicating a bullish trend driven by spot market activity.
Leverage Sell-Off: Orange background reveals decreasing prices with increasing OI, signaling a potential liquidation phase.
Deleveraging Sell-Off: Red background reflects decreasing prices and OI, indicating a bearish market with reduced leverage.
Top 3 BTC Futures Average OI: Displays the average open interest for the top 3 BTC futures contracts from major exchanges (Binance, OKX, Bybit). This helps gauge overall market sentiment and liquidity.
Visualization Tools: Includes optional plotting of open interest data and average OI for better visualization of market conditions.
Usage:
Traders and Analysts: Use the background color changes and average OI to make informed decisions about market entry and exit points.
Futures Traders: Track OI changes in major BTC futures to assess market strength and potential liquidity issues.
Relative Equal Highs/LowsThis Pine script indicator is designed to create a visual representation of the relative equal highs & lows formed and automatically removed mitigated ones. Unlike indicators designed to show exact equal high/lows this indicator allows a small, configurable degree of variance between price to identify areas where price stops.
Relevance:
Relative Equal highs and lows can serve as valuable tools in identifying potential shifts in trend direction. They come into play when the price hits a support or resistance level and can’t advance further, signaling a possible reversal or pivot point. When the price sufficiently retreats from these levels, relative equal highs and lows can also indicate liquidity draws where buy/sell stops might be positioned, in accordance with SMC/ICT concepts.
How It Works:
The indicator tracks all unmitigated highs & lows within the chart’s present timeframe, limited to the user-defined max bars lookback for optimal performance. If the prices are within the configured variance they are marked as relatively equal and at that point are visually identified by a horizontal line, which connects the two (or more) points of price. Depending on configuration of the indicator, a line is rendered from the 1st, last or both values within the relatively equal range of price. A unique feature of this indicator is its ability to remove the line once the price mitigates the relative equal high/low by falling below the lows or rising above highs. This ensures the chart remains uncluttered and highlights only the currently relevant levels, setting it apart from other indicators providing similar functionality.
Configurability:
The indicator offers five style settings for complete customization of the lines that represent equal highs/lows. These settings include line style, color, and width, along with an option to extend the lines to the right of the chart for enhanced visibility of equal high/low levels. To optimize performance, the indicator allows users to configure the lookback length, determining how far back the price history should be examined. In most instances, the default setting of 500 bars proves more than adequate. Additionally, you can set thresholds via separate configs for stocks & indices that will determine if the price is relatively equal and lastly allow you to configure where the indicator line should be drawn, the first, last or all the values.
Additional notes:
This uses a different approach then my “equal highs/lows” indicator to identify price levels and because it focuses specifically on relative as opposed to exact values it is entirely different and may show “weaker”, but still important levels of liquidity. This indicator is more suited for analysis of stocks and indices or higher-timeframes where price-action rarely forms exact equal values instead more frequently forming almost equal values. My other indicator is more suited for smaller (15m or less) timeframe on indices where exact equal prices are often identical. Depending on situation different indicators should be used.
Open Intrest / Volume / Liquidations (Suite) [BigBeluga]This indicator is a suite of tools that aims to provide traders with efficient metrics to analyze the market in a different way, such as various types of Open Interest, Intraday Volume, and Liquidations.
This indicator can both save time and also provide a different approach to the usual price action trading style.
🔶 FEATURES
The indicator contains the following features:
Open Interest Suite
- Delta OI
- Net longs and shorts
- OI Relative Strength Index
Intraday Volume Suite
- Bullish and Bearish LTF Volume
- CVD
- Delta Volume
Liquidations Suite
- Long and Short Liquidations
- Cumulative Liquidations
🔶 EXAMPLE OF SUITE
In the example above, we can see how we can plot long and short positions, both opening and closing out.
This can give a unique way to view which side is the strongest but also which side has the most resting liquidity.
For example, if more longs are entering the market, it also means more liquidity for longs and vice versa.
Or, for example, plotting the delta OI will allow the user to see big percentages in change and spot big areas of position closing out.
This presents a fascinating method for observing numerous positions closing out in conjunction with a surge of liquidations, which could indicate a potential reversal in price.
Here, we can see a basic example of using intraday volume on a 1m LTF.
With this, we are able to see both bullish and bearish volume of the same candle, very useful to see both volumes traded in the same candle.
Using the CVD to see the overall direction based purely on the volume and spot divergence, for example, the price in an uptrend but CVD going down, indicating weak shorts in the market or trapped shorts.
Or simply view liquidations happening in the market in a very different way, both long and short liquidation at the same time + the option to use multi-timeframe liquidations.
🔶 CONCLUSION
The idea of this script is to provide a set of tools in a unique script to optimize time and analyze the market in both a quick way and in a different way than usual.
Day/Week/Month Metrics (Zeiierman)█ Overview
The Day/Week/Month Metrics (Zeiierman) indicator is a powerful tool for traders looking to incorporate historical performance into their trading strategy. It computes statistical metrics related to the performance of a trading instrument on different time scales: daily, weekly, and monthly. Breaking down the performance into daily, weekly, and monthly metrics provides a granular view of the instrument's behavior.
The indicator requires the chart to be set on a daily timeframe.
█ Key Statistics
⚪ Day in month
The performance of financial markets can show variability across different days within a month. This phenomenon, often referred to as the "monthly effect" or "turn-of-the-month effect," suggests that certain days of the month, especially the first and last days, tend to exhibit higher than average returns in many stock markets around the world. This effect is attributed to various factors including payroll contributions, investment of monthly dividends, and psychological factors among traders and investors.
⚪ Edge
The Edge calculation identifies days within a month that consistently outperform the average monthly trading performance. It provides a statistical advantage by quantifying how often trading on these specific days yields better returns than the overall monthly average. This insight helps traders understand not just when returns might be higher, but also how reliable these patterns are over time. By focusing on days with a higher "Edge," traders can potentially increase their chances of success by aligning their strategies with historically more profitable days.
⚪ Month
Historically, the stock market has exhibited seasonal trends, with certain months showing distinct patterns of performance. One of the most well-documented patterns is the "Sell in May and go away" phenomenon, suggesting that the period from November to April has historically brought significantly stronger gains in many major stock indices compared to the period from May to October. This pattern highlights the potential impact of seasonal investor sentiment and activities on market performance.
⚪ Day in week
Various studies have identified the "day-of-the-week effect," where certain days of the week, particularly Monday and Friday, show different average returns compared to other weekdays. Historically, Mondays have been associated with lower or negative average returns in many markets, a phenomenon often linked to the settlement of trades from the previous week and negative news accumulation over the weekend. Fridays, on the other hand, might exhibit positive bias as investors adjust positions ahead of the weekend.
⚪ Week in month
The performance of markets can also vary within different weeks of the month, with some studies suggesting a "week of the month effect." Typically, the first and the last week of the month may show stronger performance compared to the middle weeks. This pattern can be influenced by factors such as the timing of economic reports, monthly investment flows, and options and futures expiration dates which tend to cluster around these periods, affecting investor behavior and market liquidity.
█ How It Works
⚪ Day in Month
For each day of the month (1-31), the script calculates the average percentage change between the opening and closing prices of a trading instrument. This metric helps identify which days have historically been more volatile or profitable.
It uses arrays to store the sum of percentage changes for each day and the total occurrences of each day to calculate the average percentage change.
⚪ Month
The script calculates the overall gain for each month (January-December) by comparing the closing price at the start of a month to the closing price at the end, expressed as a percentage. This metric offers insights into which months might offer better trading opportunities based on historical performance.
Monthly gains are tracked using arrays that store the sum of these gains for each month and the count of occurrences to calculate the average monthly gain.
⚪ Day in Week
Similar to the day in the month analysis, the script evaluates the average percentage change between the opening and closing prices for each day of the week (Monday-Sunday). This information can be used to assess which days of the week are typically more favorable for trading.
The script uses arrays to accumulate percentage changes and occurrences for each weekday, allowing for the calculation of average changes per day of the week.
⚪ Week in Month
The script assesses the performance of each week within a month, identifying the gain from the start to the end of each week, expressed as a percentage. This can help traders understand which weeks within a month may have historically presented better trading conditions.
It employs arrays to track the weekly gains and the number of weeks, using a counter to identify which week of the month it is (1-4), allowing for the calculation of average weekly gains.
█ How to Use
Traders can use this indicator to identify patterns or trends in the instrument's performance. For example, if a particular day of the week consistently shows a higher percentage of bullish closes, a trader might consider this in their strategy. Similarly, if certain months show stronger performance historically, this information could influence trading decisions.
Identifying High-Performance Days and Periods
Day in Month & Day in Week Analysis: By examining the average percentage change for each day of the month and week, traders can identify specific days that historically have shown higher volatility or profitability. This allows for targeted trading strategies, focusing on these high-performance days to maximize potential gains.
Month Analysis: Understanding which months have historically provided better returns enables traders to adjust their trading intensity or capital allocation in anticipation of seasonally stronger or weaker periods.
Week in Month Analysis: Identifying which weeks within a month have historically been more profitable can help traders plan their trades around these periods, potentially increasing their chances of success.

Temporary imbalances 2.0 This indicator attempts to calculate potential points of imbalance and equilibrium based on VWAPs and modified moving averages. The idea is to determine if there has been a change in volume and perform the calculation from that point It uses the standard deviation to determine the significant imbalance threshold. Candles with bullish imbalances are highlighted in green, while candles with bearish imbalances are highlighted in red.
"It also features a set of VWAPs and modified moving averages that you can enable or disable."
When you activate the 'Show Anchor VWAP' option, it will add five modified VWAPs.
Practical Significance:
The Anchored VWAP is a volume-weighted average price that serves as a dynamic reference to assess the average price during specific moments of market imbalance.
During a bullish imbalance, the anchor_vwap reflects the VWAP at that moment, emphasizing price behavior during that specific period.
Similarly, in a bearish imbalance, the anchor_vwap provides the associated VWAP for that condition, highlighting price movements during the imbalance phase.
How to Use:
The anchor_vwap can be employed to contextualize the volume-weighted average price during critical moments associated with significant changes in market imbalance.
By analyzing price behavior during and after periods of imbalance, the Anchored VWAP can help better understand market dynamics and identify potential areas of support or resistance.
Show VWAP Percent Imbalance"
Definition: Represents the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) adjusted by the volume-weighted average of the price multiplied by volume, with a focus on conditions where the percentage volume variation surpasses a predefined threshold.
Calculation: Utilizes the simple moving average weighted of the product of the volume-weighted average price and volume only when the percentage volume variation exceeds a specific threshold.
Interpretation: Provides insight into the volume-weighted price trend during conditions where the percentage volume variation exceeds a predefined limit.
The "showDeltaVWAP" is a toggleable setting that you can turn on or off. When activated, it displays special lines on the chart. Let's understand what these lines represent:
Delta Anchor VWAP:
A green line (Delta Anchor VWAP) represents a measure of market volume imbalance.
Delta2 Anchor VWAP:
A red line (Delta2 Anchor VWAP) shows another perspective of volume imbalance.
VWAP Delta Volume:
A light blue line (VWAP Delta Volume) displays a volume-weighted average of price.
VWAP Delta Volume2:
An orange line (VWAP Delta Volume2) shows another view of the volume-weighted average of price.
Delta3 Anchor VWAP:
A light blue line (Delta3 Anchor VWAP) represents a combination of the previous measures.
Delta4 Anchor VWAP:
A purple line (Delta4 Anchor VWAP) is another combination, providing an overall view.
These lines are based on different conditions and calculations related to trading volume. When you activate "showDeltaVWAP," these lines appear on the chart, aiding in better understanding market behavior.
"Show Faster Volatility" is an option that you can enable or disable. When activated (set to true), it displays special lines on the chart called "Faster Volatility VWAP," "Faster Volatility VWAP2," and "Faster Volatility VWAP3." Let's understand what these lines represent:
Faster Volatility VWAP:
A purple line (Faster Volatility VWAP) is a Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) that is calculated more quickly based on short-term price reversal patterns.
Faster Volatility VWAP2:
A light gray line (Faster Volatility VWAP2) is another Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) that is calculated even more quickly based on even shorter-term price reversal patterns.
Faster Volatility VWAP3:
A purple line (Faster Volatility VWAP3) is another Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) calculated rapidly based on even shorter-term price reversal patterns.
These lines are designed to indicate moments of possible exhaustion of volatility in the market, suggesting that there may be a subsequent increase in volatility. When you activate "Show Faster Volatility," these lines are displayed on the chart.
"Show Average VWAPs Imbalance" displays weighted averages of different Volume Weighted Average Prices (VWAPs) in relation to specific market conditions. Here's an explanation of each component:
Standard VWAP:
The blue line represents the standard VWAP, a volume-weighted average of asset prices over a specific period.
VWAP with Added Imbalance (avg_vwap2):
The pink line is a weighted average that adds an imbalance value to the standard VWAP. This component highlights periods of market imbalance.
VWAP with Balance (avg_vwap3):
The lilac line is a weighted average that adds balance based on the imbalance between uptrend and downtrend, reflecting changes in volume. This provides insights into supply and demand dynamics.
Overall Average of VWAPs (avg_vwaptl):
The violet line is a weighted average that incorporates both standard and adjusted VWAPs, offering an overview of market behavior under different considered conditions.
Visual Customization (Show Average VWAPs Imbalance):
Users have the option to show or hide these average lines on the chart, allowing for a clear visualization of market trends.
"Show Min Variation VWAP" is associated with the calculation and display of a smoothed version of the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP), taking into account the minimum price variation over a specific period.
"How Imbalance Anchor VWAP Calculated as the smoothed relationship between liquidity difference and maximum VWAP equilibrium" is associated with the calculation and display of a smoothed version of the Imbalance Anchor VWAP. Here is a detailed explanation:
Calculations and Smoothing:
The variable "smoothed_difference" represents the exponential moving average (EMA) of the difference between two variables related to liquidity.
"smoothed_difference2" is the division of "smoothed_difference" by the maximum variation of the VWAP Equilibrium.
"smoothed_difference3" involves additional manipulation of "smoothed_difference" and "vwap_delta3."
"smoothed_difference4" incorporates the previous results, adjusted by the value of the VWAP.
Visual Customization:
The user has the option to enable or disable the display on the chart.
The line is colored in a shade of green.
It provides a smoothed representation of the Imbalance Anchor VWAP.
The line is colored in a shade of blue, and the calculation involves the summation of moving averages (20, 50, 200). Afterward, there is division by 3. Additionally, there is the summation of moving averages (766, 866, 966), divided by 3. The final step is to add these results together and divide by 2. media name is Imbalance Value2
Show VWAP Equilibrium (Max Variation) Calculated as the difference between two VWAPs derived from the highest and lowest price changes
Show Equilibrium VWAP Calculated as the sum of VWAP and (sma200 - sma20)

Show Equilibrium VWAP Calculated as the sum of VWAP and (766+866+966)/3 - (sma200 - sma20)
Show Equilibrium VWAP Standard Deviation Calculated as the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of the Standard Deviation of SMA (sma200 + sma20 + sma8)/3
Show Equilibrium VWAP Delta Calculated as the ratio of the smoothed VWAP Delta Result componentes
Show Standard Deviation Equilibrium VWAP Delta: Calculated as the Standard Deviation between the Average of VWAP Delta Result Components and Their Smoothed Versions
This average attempts to calculate the equilibrium."
vwap_equilibrium:
Definition: Represents the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) adjusted by the volume-weighted average of the price (hl2) multiplied by volume, focusing on periods of volume equilibrium.
Calculation: Utilizes the simple moving average weighted (sma) of the product of the volume-weighted average price and volume only when there is no volume imbalance.
Interpretation: This indicator provides a view of the volume-weighted price trend during moments when the market is in equilibrium, meaning there is no noticeable imbalance in volume conditions. The calculation of VWAP is adjusted to reflect market characteristics during periods of stability.
vwap_percent_condition:
Definition: Represents the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) adjusted by the volume-weighted average of the price multiplied by volume, with a focus on conditions where the percentage volume variation surpasses a predefined threshold.
Calculation: Utilizes the simple moving average weighted of the product of the volume-weighted average price and volume only when the percentage volume variation exceeds a specific threshold.
Interpretation: Provides insight into the volume-weighted price trend during conditions where the percentage volume variation exceeds a predefined limit.
The objective of these two VWAPs is to calculate possible equilibrium points between buyers and sellers.
The indicator works for all timeframes This indicator can be adjusted according to the preferences and characteristics of the specific asset or market. It provides clear visual information and can be used as a complementary tool for technical analysis in trading strategies.

Scalping level 1.3.0The indicator shows the horizontal levels behind which the liquidity accumulates. The indicator is based on the price extremums according to the specified settings. Each extremum is marked with a faint blue line and the price. If two or more extrema are located at the same price or close enough to each other, they are highlighted in bright blue, and it indicates a strong resistance or support level. When prices approach strong resistance levels, we can consider the situation on a long breakout or a bounce from the level in the short. As price approaches strong support levels, we could consider a breakout in the short or a bounce from the level in the long. Each level has a time (indicated at each price extremum), when it was formed in hours, the more hours ago the level was formed, the stronger it is and the more likely is the price reaction at this level.
The marks next to the price show the distance in percent to the nearest strong levels, it gives a reference point for how soon the price will approach these levels.
Additional indicators, located at the top right of the chart help to make decisions in trading.
Daily dollar volume - shows how interesting the instrument to the market participants, if the traded volume for 24 hours is low, then it is not worth to pay attention to this tool.
Bitcoin correlation - (used for the cryptocurrency market), if the coin price follows the bitcoin (the indicator value is close to 1), then you should exclude this coin, because the price is controlled by robot correlators, not market participants.
Natr - the average volatility of a 5-minute candle in %. The low value of volatility can indicate that the instrument is not active at the moment. Also it is possible to use this value as a stoploss in scalper deals.
Price change - price change for the current session in %, if the value is more than 10% (for cryptocurrencies), then the breakdown of resistance levels have a higher probability than a bounce, if the value is less than -10%, then the probability of breaking support levels have a higher than a bounce.
Percentage of average daily ATR - shows how much the price passed in % for the current session from the average daily ATR. If price passed about 100%, it is possible to consider the price reversal from resistance or support levels.
Important! When trading on levels it is necessary to consider the situation in the Depth of Market. Pay attention to large densities located near support and resistance levels.
=== Basic settings: ===
LOCAL LEVEL, MIDDLE LEVEL, GLOBAL LEVEL . Three ranges of levels (local, middle, global). For each range, you can configure the period and lifetime of the level. For example, global levels are the strongest, they have the longest period and the longest time of existence (note: 0 for Lifetime means infinite time of existence), while local levels have the shortest period and the shortest time of existence. Period - the period in which the level is built. Lifetime - time after which the level is removed from the chart. Color and width - color and width of the line.
BREAK LEVELS . Levels broken by the price. These levels are displayed for convenient tracking of previous breakouts. Parameters are set similarly to other levels.
IMPORTANT LEVELS . Important levels show behind which price range the greatest accumulation of liquidity. Important levels can be adjusted by setting the minimum number of adjacent levels, for example 2 or more, as well as the maximum distance between adjacent levels. Thus, important levels show the accumulation of price extremums, behind which there are Stop Losses of the participants.
Near level coefficient - the distance coefficient between adjacent levels, the higher the coefficient is, the greater is the acceptable price range between the levels. The coefficient is multiplied by the average ATR, as a result we get the price range. For example, if we specify 0, then strong levels will be detected only if 2 or more extrema have the same price.
Minimum near levels - the minimum number of adjacent (close to each other) levels. For example, if 2 is specified, then if 2 or more levels are situated near each other at a distance not exceeding the distance, specified in the Near level coefficient, then those levels will be displayed in bright blue color.
Week level transparent - transparency of "weak" levels located at the price extremums.
COMMON.
Max distance to level - the maximum distance of levels is set by a coefficient, it is necessary to display only the closest levels to hide the levels that are formed very far from the current price. It is calculated on the basis of ATR.
Show level time - shows level existence time.
PRICE. Visual settings of price levels on the chart
Size - print size of price on the chart
Color - color of price on the chart
Round price color - color of the round price number. The round number is the price with the last two digits 0. Example 28124.00 or 0.2500
INDICATORS. Auxiliary numeric indicators (located in the upper right corner of the chart):
Daily dollar volume , the traded volume for the last 24 hours in dollars. You can specify a volume threshold in millions of dollars, above which the value will be highlighted in green. The default value is 100 million dollars. A high value of traded volume indicates a large number of participants and increases the probability of volatility of the instrument.
Bitcoin correlation , an indicator of price correlation with bitcoin, the lower the indicator, the instrument is more independent, the closer to 1, the stronger the instrument repeats bitcoin price movements. It has a threshold value of 0.5 by default. If the indicator reading is below the threshold, it is highlighted in color.
Natr , shows the average range at which the price passes in 5 min. The higher the indicator, the higher the volatility of the instrument.
Price change , price change in % for the current session.
Percentage of average daily ATR , shows how much the price passed in % for the current session from the average daily ATR.
Price & Volume Profile (Expo)█ Overview
The Price & Volume Profile provides a holistic perspective on market dynamics by simultaneously tracking price action and trading volume across a range of price levels. So it is not only a volume-based indicator but also a price-based one. In addition to illustrating volume distribution, it quantifies how frequently the price has fallen within a particular range, thus offering a holistic perspective on market dynamics.
This unique and comprehensive approach to market analysis by considering both price action and trading volume, two crucial dimensions of market activity. Its distinctive methodology offers several advantages:
Holistic Market View: By simultaneously tracking the frequency of specific price ranges (Price Profile) and the volume traded at those ranges (Volume Profile), this indicator provides a more complete picture of market behavior. It shows not only where the market is trading but also how much it's trading, reflecting both price acceptance levels and market participation intensity.
Point of Control (POC): The POC, as highlighted by this indicator, serves as a significant reference point for traders. It identifies the price level with the highest trading activity, thus indicating a strong consensus among market participants about the asset's fair value. Observing how price interacts with the POC can offer valuable insights into market sentiment and potential trend reversals.
Support and Resistance Levels: Price levels with high trading activity often act as support or resistance in future price movements. The indicator visually represents these levels, enabling traders to anticipate potential price reactions.
Price Profile
Price and Volume Profile
█ Calculations
The algorithm analyzes both trade frequency and volume across different price levels. It identifies these levels within the visible chart range, then examines each bar to determine if the selected price falls within these levels. If so, it increases a counter and adds the trading volume. This process repeats across the visible range and is visualized as a horizontal histogram, each bar representing a price level and the bar length reflecting trade frequency and volume. Additionally, it calculates the Point of Control (POC), signifying the price level with the highest activity.
In summary: The histogram presents a dual perspective - not only the traded volume at each price level but also the frequency of the price hitting each range. The longer the bar, the more times the price has frequented that specific range, revealing key insights into price behavior and acceptance levels. These frequently visited areas often emerge as strong support or resistance zones, helping traders navigate market movements.
Please note that the indicator adjusts to the visible price range, making it adaptable to changing market conditions. This dynamic analysis can provide more relevant and timely information than static indicators.
█ How to use
This indicator is beneficial for traders as it offers insights into the distribution of trading activity across different price levels. It helps identify key areas of support and resistance and gives a visual representation of market sentiment and liquidity.
The point of control (POC) , which is the price level with the highest traded volume or frequency count, becomes even more crucial in this context. It marks the price at which the most trading activity occurred, signaling a strong consensus among market participants about the asset's fair value. If the market price deviates significantly from the POC, it could suggest an overbought or oversold condition, potentially leading to a price reversion.
Fair Price Areas/gaps are specific price levels or zones where an asset has spent limited time in the past. These areas are considered interesting or significant because they may have an impact on future price action.
Similar to the concept of fair value gaps, which refers to discrepancies between an asset's market price and its estimated intrinsic value, Fair Price Areas/gaps focus on price levels that have been relatively underutilized in terms of trading activity. When an asset's price reaches a Fair Price Area/gap, traders and investors pay attention because they expect the price to react in some way. The rationale behind this concept is that price tends to gravitate towards areas where it has spent less time in the past, as the market perceives them as significant levels.
█ Settings
The indicator is customizable, allowing users to define the number of price levels (rows), the offset, the data source, and whether to display volume or frequency count. It also adjusts dynamically to the visible price range on the chart, ensuring that the analysis remains relevant and timely with changing market conditions.
Source: The price to use for the calculation. Typically, this is the closing price. By considering the user-selected Source (typically the closing price), the indicator determines the frequency with which the price lands within each designated price level (row) over the selected period. In essence, the indicator provides a count of bars where the Source price falls within each range, essentially creating a "Price Profile."
Row Size: The number of price levels (rows) to divide the visible price range into.
Display: Choose whether to display the number of bars ("Counter") or the total volume ("Volume") for each price level.
Offset: The distance of the histogram from the price chart.
Point of Control (POC): If enabled, the indicator will highlight the price level with the most activity.

OverNightSession @joshuuuThis indicator highlights the Overnightsession (ONS), taught by TheCurrenyMerchant.
The Overnightsession is from 4-8 am UTC-5. This session can be used to form trades, e.g. after one side has been taken out.
It has the options to display Projection and the equilibrium level. Equilibrium level (50%) can be used to identify if price is currently in premium/discount of the range and the projections (standard deviations of the range) can be used to identify possible targets.
A classic setup he teaches is:
Price trades agressively out of the range taking liquidity. As soon as we trade above the high of the candle that took liquidity, that candle can be considered an orderblock, where the 50% level can be used for long setups.

Reversal Money Flow Indicator (RMFI)
This indicator is for tracking trend following of altcoins movement based on asset movement (RMFI, Reversal of Money Flow Indicator)
RMFI is specialized for the cryptocurrency market and can detect asset movement when altcoins, which previously showed similar price momentum as Bitcoin, begin to move independently
I have made many efforts to predict the independent volatility of altcoins that do not follow the price momentum of Bitcoin by modifying trading strategies and searching for patterns, but have faced many inefficiencies and disappointments. The time I spent constantly trying to simplify elements to consider between indicators according to the market conditions led me to create something truly innovative t I believe.
As the Market Cap of cryptocurrency has recently increased, liquidity has also increased, allowing for the classification of more patterns. Instead of considering many complex indicators, I focused on a single indicator to obtain clearer signals and were able to increase the reliability of patterns.
RMFI is not accurate in finding the reversal of independent momentum of all 8,000 altcoins (as of 2021), it is ideal for assets with slightly higher liquidity.
Education on all indicator functions will be provided through separate videos in my Telegram community space (refer to Instructions), and I would like to regularly research with users to provide better trading discoveries.
Introduction: It is very easy to read. The basic setting shows a divided view of positive and negative values, which is useful for finding independent trend reversals of altcoins. There are colors that need to be continuously watched, colors that indicate high possibility of trend reversal, and colors that indicate the start of trend reversal.
'Orange : indicates a monitoring signal
Sky blue : indicates an attempt of trend reversal after sufficient pressure
Green : Approaching independent trend reversal
Yellow : indicates a sudden trend reversal
Pink : overheating
Red : Weakness starts
I will explain the functions of RMFI indicator through below following chart.
'Orange candlesticks indicate a signal that assets are starting to move to the specific altcoin, while the blue candlesticks indicate that the asset movement has progressed enough to try for an independent trend reversal (It is not always the case that blue candles will be followed by 'orange candles in a specific order)
The green candles indicate that altcoin is nearing independent trend reversal, which is a BUY signal. The yellow candles indicate that, even though sufficient asset movement has not been confirmed, it is a signal for following the trend as the trend reversal has begun.
The green and yellow candles' signals must be evaluated by user. The first evaluation is to check that movement is sufficient by looking at the minus area's columns and blue columns. Additional details will be provided through a separate video in my Telegram community space (refer to Instructions)
*Buy signal evaluation (Sky blue) : Columns indicating trend reversal, which should be blue, is 'orange, indicating that assets are still in transit
*Buy signal evaluation (Green candle) : Blue column and green candle
*Buy signal evaluation (Yellow candle) : 'Orange column, indicating assets in transit and accumulation, is not visible, but minus area columns (blue) are confirmed and Columns cross into the plus area, indicating the start of a strong uptrend
Signals generated in the sequence of 'orange, blue, green, yellow are not always in order and can occur in the form of two signals or a single signal. I will explain further by looking at other example charts.
It is not the case that the candles' signals send a buy signal in all cases. However, by monitoring columns, user can identify when the trend is reversing and make good trades.
As previously explained, it is important for the user to pay attention to the changes in columns (ongoing : 'Orange columns / near completion of asset movement : Blue columns) when evaluating signals after a buy signal. Below is an example chart and detailed information on signal interpretation is provided in a separate video.
Pink candles indicate that assets that were previously inflow through altcoins are now being leaked. Signal of pink color implies that the upward trend may gradually decrease and price adjustments could occur. Red candles, on the other hand, indicate the start of a bearish momentum.
"Life dedicated to giving the best for the loved ones" Wishing luck to traders.
Expressing gratitude to all.
Volume composition / quantifytools— Overview
While net volume is useful information, it can be a blunt data point. Volume composition breaks down the content of volume, allowing a more detailed look inside each volume node. Volume composition consists of the following information:
Total volume (buy and sell). By default gray node.
Dominating volume (buy or sell). By default dark green/dark red node.
Dominating active volume (buy or sell). By default light green/light red node.
Dominating volume as percentage of total volume.
Dominating active volume as percentage of total active volume.
Buy and sell volume is defined by volume associated with lower timeframe up/down moves. This classification is further broken down to passive/active, standing for decreasing/increasing volume, e.g. a move up with volume higher than previous bar volume = active buy volume, a move up with volume lower than previous bar volume = passive buy volume.
Volume data is fetched from a lower timeframe that is automatically adjusted to fit the timeframe you're using. By default, the following settings are applied:
Charts <= 30 min: 1 minute timeframe
Charts > 30 min & <= 3 hours : 5 minute timeframe
Charts > 3 hours & <= 8 hours : 15 minute timeframe
Charts > 8 hours & <= 1D: 1 hour timeframe
Charts > 1D & <= 3D : 2 hour timeframe
Charts > 3D: 4 hour timeframe
Timeframe settings can be changed via input menu. The lower the timeframe, the more precision you get but with the cost of less historical data and slower loading time. Users can also choose which source to use for determining buy/sell volume, e.g. using close as source, a close that is higher than previous close would be considered as buy volume. This could be replaced with OHLC4 for example, resulting in a volume direction based on OHLC average.
Volume composition of current chart can also be replaced with any other chart volume composition:
— Visuals
Breakdown of visual elements:
1. Symbol and timeframe used for volume composition calculations. By default the chart that is viewed and automatically selected lower timeframe.
2. Dominating volume threshold exceeded. Can be defined via input menu, 70% of total volume by default.
3. Dominating volume as percentage of total volume. Plotted below volume nodes, without % symbol.
4. Dominating active volume, + or - symbol, standing for buy and sell. Plotted below dominating volume percentage. When dominating volume and dominating active volume sides are in a disagreement (e.g. dominating volume is on buy side while dominating active volume is on sell side) this symbol will appear inside brackets, (+) or (-).
5. Dominating active volume as percentage of total active volume. Plotted below +/- symbol.
6. Dominating active volume threshold exceeded. Can be defined via input menu, 70% by default.
Dominating volume & active volume percentages can be rounded to single numbers to avoid clutter caused by overlapping values. The percentage values will be rounded to closest single number value, e.g. dominating volume percentage at 54% = 5, dominating volume percentage at 55% = 6.
Volume anomalies can be highlighted on the chart with a color for studying the events and their past implications in greater detail. Available anomalies for highlights are the following:
Buy volume threshold exceeded
Sell volume threshold exceeded
Active buy volume threshold exceeded
Active sell volume threshold exceeded
Volume & active volume divergence
— Practical guide
Volume is arguably one of the most important data points as it directly relates to liquidity. High volume can be an indication of strength (price likely to continue moving) or absorption (price likely to halt/turn). Same applies to active volume, but with an element of aggression. High active volume serves as an indication of exuberance or otherwise forceful transacting, like stop losses triggering. With these principles in mind, the composition of volume allows distinguishing potentially important events.
Example #1 : Identifying areas of trapped market participants
Often when volume spikes distinctively, we can make the case that price has found sufficient liquidity to halt/turn. Since we know which side was absorbed, in what quantity and type (passive/active), we can identify areas of trapped market participants. In such scenarios, the higher the dominant active volume and volume spike itself, the better.
Example #2 : Identifying a healthy trend
A healthy trend is one that has an active and consistent bid driving it. When this is the case, it can be seen in consistently supportive active volume.
Example #3 : Identifying inflection points
When dominant side of volume and dominant side of active volume diverge, something is up. A divergence often marks an area of indecision, hinting an imminent move one way or the other.
Vol in FiatThis indicator is modified from veryevilone's BTC Volume in Fiat. Modified color and style, and bumped Pine language Version.
It shows volume in fiat, AKA dollar volume . If a trade pair is not traded in fiat, e.g. AAA-BBB , then it shows how much volume the BBB is involved.
Good for comparing liquidity between different pairs. Also good for pairs with big price fluctuation to determine actual liquidity.
IC Sniper
Hello fellow traders,
This is a script which tries to visualise SMC /Institutional Candles.
Few of the features which are used in the script are explained below,
CAUTION, Do not enable IC Candles option (BETA). It has a lot of flaws which require solving the problem from a different angle, and I am trying my level best to figure out a solution.
Left Bars and Right Bars, used to find pivot high and lows to help us make Market Structure.
Now first thing to understand when trying to figure out SMC or institutional moves is the figure out the trend you are in. Trend is always your friend, so use higher time frame to just see the trend ( Trend lines are handy ).
I suggest using manual trend detection option, you have other two options available. Either of them have some flaws which can be worked upon if required.
Find the trend, be it manually or EMA ensures are trend support order blocks and engulfing candles are shown.
IC = Institutional Candle
How to find an IC ???
Simple things are ensured.
Below is defined for a bear market
1) Clears liquidity ( I simply see the last green candle before a minor dump ( vice-versa ) and see if the last green candle or the following red candle have huge wicks which clear recent previous highs (3 candles)
2) Next I see if the red candle after the last green candles is engulfing in nature ( yellow for bearing environment and white for bullish )
3) Then I create an order block.
4) Sometimes if imbalance after an order block is tooo big, the re test only fills the imbalance rather than reaching the IC . Imbalances are shown with grey boxes, the ones filled are automatically removed.
For successful entries please ensure that the candles succeeding engulfing candles break a market structure (BOS, ChoCh).
Any suggestion are welcome.
Please change max moves to detect to 5 from 3
Caution not all order blocks made are perfect !! Further adjustments are required but are too complicated for me to code, have to find some way around and I am sure with update I will refine the options.
Basic things to look,
IC should be followed buy a pump or a dump ( with some candles being out of the trend (I have given some scope in the code)) plus it should have a high wick which clears liquidity.
Futures Exchange SessionsIn the 24-hour trading of the futures market, this indicator provides the user with full customization concerning the most important factor: time. This indicator is centered around three main visualizations: labels, backgrounds, and lines that minimalistically allows the user to keep track of the many time intervals that occur during a futures market 24-hour trading cycle. It also artfully displays the previous days highs and lows. And everything can be individually toggled and configured so the user can get exactly what they want.
Labels
There are three main futures market sessions in a 24-hour period: the London, New York, and Asian Sessions. Each session is given an independent label for the open and close times. The six labels (LO, LC, NYO, NYC, AO, AC) can be individually toggled on or off, the label background color changed, the text switched between black or white, and the height can be lowered or raised. These customizations are intended to give the user full control of the session they are interested in at the moment.
Backgrounds
Backgrounds are the heart of this indicator. There are different colored transparent backgrounds for each of the futures sessions. So the user can clearly see the session they want to highlight without cluttering their chart and getting in the way of analyzing the candles.
If you are familiar with the London and New York killzones, these backgrounds are each individually configured.
If you are familiar with the Inner Circle Trader’s (ICT) NY Morning and Afternoon sessions, these are available. Also, most times weird price action occurs during the lunch hour of these sessions. The London and New York have a background for their respective lunch hours so the user is never caught of guard during these periods.
Lines
The markets are constantly looking for liquidity. To help the user see runs on liquidity, this indicator projects the previous days highs and lows on to the current day with a line and a price label. The line make it very easy to see where price may be headed. See the image below for the perfect example of this phenomenon. Each of the lines can be independently controlled by color, style, and width. And even the labels can be toggled on or off if the user would prefer just to see the lines. Lastly, there is a line that marks the midnight open price in EST.
Special Notes
This indicator is specifically designed for futures tickers.
All of the backgrounds are not designed to be turned on a once (there are many that overlap). They are designed to give the user ultimate control over exactly what timeframe backgrounds to display on their charts.
The labels only appear when timeframe is 1 hour or less.
USDT/USD PremiumKraken + FTX USDT premium indicator.
Inspired by John J Brown, forked from IAmSatoshi (Migrated to V5 and few changes + more markets coming).
John J Brown: "
USDt premium/discount exist because of conversion fees.
It is a good market indicator:
If USDt>USD, then market is growing and in need of liquidity;
If USDt<USD, then market is shrinking and has excess liquidity."
40+ Coin Screener (workaround to 40 Security Limit Per Script) This is a far inferior method for a screener/scanner (compared to my first publication) but after looking at that script from a noobs eyes again, I could see how this form would be a lot easier to take in/understand so wanted to publish it. Everything that I could think of to mention about this is in my 1st pub so ill leave it to you to check it out...though I did include some comments in the script. It is pretty straight forward but if you have any questions don't hold them in. I'll answer them if I can. The only thing that is not in this one is setting up the alert feature so that you only have to create 1 alert per iteration of the script and it takes care of all of the coins for that iteration/set that is chosen in the settings (so please see previous script if would like to do this for your screener/scanner).
To be PERFECTLY CLEAR, the workaround is to the issue of not being able to scan but only 40 coins per script. You can scan more than 40 per script but only if you create "batches" or "sets" that the user can select within the settings which set to use for each iteration of the script on the chart. That being, you have to the script multiple times to the chart and merge them into 1 window and merge the scales (instructions in first publications). Here in this script I am scanning 72 different coins that are the Margin Coins on KUCOIN. I have split them up into 3 sets (24 coins per set). I could have made 2 sets but the script will be slower to load and to respond (like, when it comes to receiving alerts), thus I split them up the way I did. If you want to change any of this there are slightly more details in the previous script.
One great use-case that I LOVE about this particular version (and the way I use it) is right at the end of when I see a whole market dump/pump coming to an end and want to know which horse to bet on. Used to think whichever coin come out the fastest from the dump was the one to bet on but quickly learned that 1-2 (or even a few) hrs needs to go by first bc the ones that look the strongest in the beginning are NOT the ones to have performed the best when viewing the results 12 hrs later. IN FACT, many instances of using this exact script for reasons as such has taught me that the manipulators (I believe this to be the case as least) WANT everyone to bet on these that come out the gate the hardest and thus they make them move REALLY hard in the beginning then they QUICKLY become stagnant (moreso, they become WORSE than stagnant, they actually quickly retrace to put you into the negative so that you get out to get into the others now moving (to provide the market with more liquidity. They WANT you to get into a coin thats moving crazy hard so that they can then cease that movement once many fall for the trick just to then make that once strong looking coin now stagnant and make others move crazy hard. They wait for you to get out of the 1st and into the next set of movers just to do this time and time again bc hey, what are we sheep good for other than to provide the big guns with liquidity, am I right? Thats rhetorical, which you would know if you've ever had this happen to you (without a doubt MANY of you have). Let this script (above all other things) provide good evidence to back up this cynical way of viewing the markets to anyone that is questioning it.
This prolonged time between when the dump is over and when the ACTUAL movers REALLY start moving can actually be of great benefit to us sheep if used correctly, Firstly, it gives us some time to determine if when we thought was the bottom, ACTUALLY was the bottom. That bottom is easily determined if there are no (or very few) coins that went any lower than the point in time that the script began calculating on. Secondly, it allows us time to wait for the REAL movers and shakers to start moving and shaking.
One new feature that I LOVE that TV has implemented is the ability (once the script is added to the chart) to be able to click a point in time on the chart where you want the script to begin its calculations. If this point needs to be changed at any point in time then you can either go into the setting and input the time you wish or simply remove the script and add it again so that you are prompted to select another point in time. Ok, I think that everything I wanted to say. The next version that I will add will be probably my favorite and most used by yours truly...not to mention unique in a way that I have yet to see an implementation anything like it in all of TV's public library. Not to say its not there, but I have yet to come across it and I have DEFINITELY done my fair share of searching for it when I couldn't figure out how to code it for the longest time (though, I was and still am a noob so might get some great feedback on better ways to approach it, but we'll save that jabbering for the next of the publications.
I hope each and every one of ya'll (yes, Im from the South) have the GREATEST of Thanksgivings (if in the US that is...I graced my parents with the best gift anyone could have given them 35 years ago on Thanksgiving....MEEEE ;) So I will sure as hell be having a great holiday. Thanks for checking out my script...you can "like" and leave a comment if you so feel the urge to...or not. Im not doing this for me, but rather to stretch my arms out as far as possible to benefit the most people as possible and more people would see the script if it has more likes/comments/traffic pointing towards it...not to mention as other publishers have...it IS gratifying to see a few likes in my side window, which btw, I have MANY more variations and completely diff types of scanners/screeners Ill be publishing in the future and to know that they've become of use....I"VE become of use to the community is very....pleasing to me and does (as I've also seen many publishers mention as well) drive me to want to publish ones that I originally thought I would keep for myself. Peace out people.
vDragon Flow Trend I will share one of the tools that I use daily with you. Based on PVSRA (a methodology developed by Trade at Home using, price action, volume wyckoff, support / resistance, trends all in one method), it is composed of exponential averages, which I think is plausible, however, it would not be more easy if the main moving average was not made with its own volume?
Having this idea, I created this indicator, but let’s its functions and WHY you don’t waste time and use this indicator once and for all. Firstly, we know that a moving average is used to identify long-term trends, but because it is a price indicator, it takes into account PRICE, that is, being a late indicator, that is, who looks at prices, looks back and not forward, so I decided to use moving averages weighted by volume, to then make this delay in the moving average decrease considerably.
What are the benefits of using vDragon Trend instead of a normal and convenient average.
* The benefit of this indicator is to track the flow of a long-term trend, being similar to the session's VWAP, for example, but as VWAP has a limitation of only being able to show the average price of Market Makers only on the intraday, vDragon can do this, even showing the average price of these players in the long run.
* It is a fast and accurate moving average, depending on the flow entering the market, its curve will be greater than an average that reflects the price.
* The band, can increase or decrease depending on the volatility and the volume that happens.
* It takes from the Maximum to the Minimum for a certain period, just so you don't fall into springs.
* Most moving averages are not efficient on fast graphs like ticks or 1-minute graphs, but vDragon manages to adapt the graphical time, thanks to the volume, which is where we located the performance of Smart Money, remembering, I tested the vDragon within a 15-second chart on the FDAX inside the EUREX bag, and it serves a lot.
* Perhaps the best support or resistance you will find, I can give you an example, if it happens that the price rises with remarkable volume on top of vDragon, it can possibly be characterized as an absorption, sometimes too;
* can be used to identify zones of HFTs or algorithms that work with average prices in liquidity regions, since volume is also liquidity.
* can be used to identify linked accumulations in the accumulation or distribution.
There are several things for you to use vDragon as a strategy, use in a way that fits your strategy or operational.

TurnOver Rate 换手率What does the turnover rate mean?
1. The higher the stock’s turnover rate, the more active the stock’s trading and the higher people’s willingness to buy the stock, which is a popular stock; conversely, the lower the stock’s turnover rate, it means the stock few people pay attention to it, which is an unpopular stock.
2. A high turnover rate generally means that the stock has good liquidity, and it is easier to enter and exit the market. There will be no phenomenon of wanting to buy or want to sell, and it has strong liquidity. However, it is worth noting that stocks with a high turnover rate are often the target of short-term funds chasing. They are highly speculative, their stock prices fluctuate, and risks are relatively high.
3. The high turnover rate at the beginning of the IPO is a natural thing. The myth of undefeated IPOs was once staged. However, with the changes in the market, it has become a reality for new shares to go high and low after the listing. Obviously, there is no conclusion that a high turnover rate will definitely rise, but a high turnover rate is also an important factor supporting the rise in stock prices.
4. The high turnover rate of stocks with high volume at the bottom indicates that the signs of new capital intervention are more obvious. The future upside is relatively large. The more the bottom changes hands, the less the upward selling pressure. In addition, strong stocks represent the hot spots of the market, so it is necessary to focus on them.
5. Combining the turnover rate with the stock price trend can make certain predictions and judgments about the future stock price. The sudden increase in the turnover rate of a certain stock and the increase in trading volume may mean that investors are buying in large quantities, and the stock price may rise accordingly. If a stock has continued to rise for a period of time, and the turnover rate rises rapidly, it may mean that some profitees want to cash out, and the stock price may fall.
6. The relatively high trading volume suddenly increases, and the willingness of the main force to distribute is obvious. However, it is not easy to release the volume at the high position. Generally, the trading volume will be released when some good news is released, and the main force can complete successfully. Distribution, there are many such examples.
The first thing to do when digging for leading stocks is to dig out popular stocks. One of the effective indicators for judging whether they belong to a popular stock is the turnover rate. The turnover rate is high and shares tend to be active. Therefore, when choosing stocks, investors can put the stocks whose turnover rate is continuously multiplied every day into their own choice or notebook, and then select the best varieties based on some fundamentals and other technical aspects.

LiquidEdge Original1️⃣ Why Most Traders Miss Key Market Turning Points
Most traders (you) struggle to identify true market pivots THE REAL TOP and BOTTOMS where reversals begin.
❌ You enter too early or too late because price alone doesn’t give enough confirmation
❌ You follow price blindly, unaware of the volume pressure building underneath
❌ You get caught in sideways markets, not realizing they’re often accumulation or distribution zones
❌ You can’t tell if momentum is building or fading, which leads to low confidence and inconsistent results
👉 LiquidEdge helps solve this by tracking volume momentum through a modified MFI slope and scoring system. It highlights potential pivots with real context, so you can see where smart money might be entering or exiting before price makes it obvious.
2️⃣ What LiquidEdge Actually Does and How
LiquidEdge helps solve common trading problems by adding structure and clarity to volume analysis.
✅ It builds on the classic Money Flow Index (MFI), but instead of just showing overbought/oversold levels, it calculates the slope of MFI to track real-time changes in volume momentum
✅ Each setup is scored based on a combination of factors: divergence strength, trend alignment using EMA, and whether the signal occurs inside a liquidity zone
✅ Hidden accumulation or distribution is revealed when volume pressure increases or fades while price remains flat or moves slightly, a sign of smart money positioning
✅ Divergences are only flagged when they occur near pivot zones and align with overall trend conditions, helping reduce false signals
✅ Potential pivots are identified when multiple factors overlap such as a liquidity zone breach, volume slope shift, and valid divergence which often signals entry or exit points for institutional players
👉 The result is a structured interpretation of price and volume flow, helping traders read momentum shifts and potential reversals more clearly in both trending and ranging markets.
3️⃣ What Makes LiquidEdge Different
LiquidEdge is built on top of the classic Money Flow Index (MFI), but adds structure that transforms it from a basic momentum tool into a decision-support system.
Instead of simply showing highs and lows, it scores each potential setup based on:
✅ The steepness and direction of the MFI slope (used to measure volume pressure)
✅ Whether the setup aligns with the broader trend using an EMA filter (default: 200 EMA)
✅ Whether the signal appears inside predefined liquidity zones (MFI above 80 or below 20)
👉 This scoring system reduces noise and helps you focus only on high-probability setups.
👉 It also checks volume pressure across multiple timeframes using MFI slope on 5M, 15M, 1H, 4H, and Daily charts. This reveals whether short-term moves are backed by longer-term volume momentum.
Color changes in the line and histogram are not decorative they reflect real shifts in volume pressure. Every visual cue is linked to live market logic.
What Makes It Stand Out
👉 Setup Scoring That Makes Sense
Each setup is scored by combining:
Signal strength (MFI slope intensity and stability)
Trend direction (via customizable EMA)
Liquidity zone relevance (MFI range filtering)
This structured scoring means you spend less time second-guessing and more time reading clean signals.
👉 Flow That Follows Real Momentum
The slope of the MFI tracks whether volume pressure is rising or falling:
🟢 Green = increasing inflow (buying pressure)
🔴 Red = increasing outflow (selling pressure)
👉 Multi-Timeframe Volume Context
LiquidEdge calculates flow direction independently on each major timeframe. You’ll know if short-term setups are confirmed by higher timeframe volume or going against it.
👉 Smart Divergence Filtering
Unlike simple divergence tools that compare price highs/lows directly, LiquidEdge filters divergences based on:
Local pivot zones (defined by lookback periods)
Trend confirmation (to eliminate countertrend noise)
4️⃣ How LiquidEdge Works (Under the Hood)
LiquidEdge tracks directional momentum using the slope of the Money Flow Index (MFI) giving you a real-time read on buying and selling pressure.
When the slope rises, it means buyers are stepping in and volume is supporting the move.
When it falls, sellers are taking control and volume outflow is increasing.
This slope acts like a pressure gauge for the market, helping you spot when a trend has strength or when it's starting to fade.
💡 Quick Comparison
RSI = momentum from price
MFI = momentum from price + volume
LiquidEdge takes it one step further by calculating the rate of change (slope) in MFI. That’s where the pressure signal comes from not just value, but directional flow.
Core Calculations (Simplified)
Typical Price = (High + Low + Close) ÷ 3
Raw Money Flow = Typical Price × Volume
MFI = 100 −
MFI ranges from 0 to 100.
High = strong buying volume
Low = growing selling pressure
LiquidEdge then calculates the slope of this MFI over time to track volume momentum dynamically.
Divergence Engine
LiquidEdge detects divergence by comparing price pivots with the direction of MFI slope.
❌ If price makes a higher high but MFI slope turns down, it’s a bearish divergence
✅ If price makes a lower low but MFI slope rises, it’s a bullish divergence
Divergences are only confirmed when they occur:
Near local pivot zones (defined by configurable lookback windows)
And, optionally, in alignment with the broader trend using an EMA filter
This filtering helps reduce false positives and keeps you focused on clean setups.
Structured Confidence Scoring
Each signal is visually scored based on:
➡️ Whether a valid divergence is detected
➡️ Whether the signal occurs inside a liquidity zone (MFI > 80 or < 20)
➡️ Whether the setup aligns with the overall trend direction (EMA filter)
More confluence = higher confidence
The scoring system helps prioritize setups that meet multiple criteria, not just one.
Liquidity Zones
Above 80: Signals possible buying exhaustion 👉 risk of reversal
Below 20: Indicates potential selling exhaustion 👉 watch for a bounce
Zones are shaded directly on the chart to highlight pressure extremes in real time.
Price + Volume Fusion
LiquidEdge blends price action with volume pressure using MFI slope and histogram behavior. It doesn’t just show you where price is moving. it shows whether the move is backed by real volume.
This lets you see:
Whether volume is confirming or fading behind a move
If a reversal is building even before price confirms it
Visual Feedback That Speaks Clearly
🟢 Green slope = increasing buying pressure
🔴 Red slope = increasing selling pressure
5️⃣ When Price Is Flat but LiquidEdge Moves: Volume Tells the Truth
One of the most useful things LiquidEdge can do is reveal pressure shifts when price looks neutral.
If price is moving sideways but the MFI slope or histogram rises, it may suggest that buying pressure is quietly increasing possibly pointing to early accumulation.
If price stays flat while the volume slope or histogram drops, this could indicate distribution, where sellers are exiting without moving the market noticeably.
These changes don’t guarantee a breakout or breakdown, but they often precede key moves especially when combined with other confluences like trend alignment or liquidity zones.
👉 LiquidEdge helps spot these setups by measuring volume momentum shifts beneath price action.
It doesn’t predict the future, but it gives you additional context to evaluate what may be developing before it’s visible on price alone.
6️⃣ Multi-Timeframe Flow Table
LiquidEdge includes a real-time table that tracks volume pressure across multiple timeframes including 5-minute, 15-minute, 1-hour, 4-hour, and daily charts.
Each row reflects the direction of the MFI slope on that timeframe, indicating whether volume pressure is increasing (inflow) or decreasing (outflow).
🟢 A rising slope suggests that buying momentum is building
🔴 A falling slope suggests selling pressure may be increasing
👉 This lets traders quickly assess whether short-term setups are aligned with higher timeframe volume trends a useful layer of confirmation for both intraday and swing strategies.
Rather than flipping between charts, the table gives you a snapshot of flow strength across the board, helping you stay focused on opportunities that align with broader market pressure.
7️⃣ Timeframes & Assets
Where LiquidEdge Works Best:
✅ Crypto: Supports major coins and high-volume altcoins (BTC, ETH, Top 100)
✅ Stocks: Effective on large-cap and mid-cap equities with consistent volume
✅ Futures: Tested on instruments like NQ, MNQ, ES, and MES
✅ Any liquid market where volume data is reliable and stable
For best results, use LiquidEdge on assets with consistent trading volume. It’s not recommended for ultra-low volume crypto pairs or micro-cap stocks, where irregular volume can distort signals.
Recommended Timeframes:
👉 Intraday trading: Works well on 3-minute, 5-minute, 15-minute, and 1-hour charts
👉 Swing trading: Performs reliably on 4-hour, daily, and weekly charts
👉 Ultra short-term (1-minute or less): Not recommended due to high noise and low reliability
LiquidEdge adapts to various trading styles from scalping short-term momentum shifts to analyzing broader volume trends across swing and positional setups. The key is choosing assets and timeframes with reliable volume flow for the tool to work effectively.
8️⃣ Common Mistakes to Avoid When Using LiquidEdge
❌ Using It in Isolation
LiquidEdge offers valuable context, but it’s not designed to function as a standalone trading system. Always combine it with key tools such as trendlines, support/resistance zones, chart structure, or fundamental data. The more supporting evidence you have, the stronger your analysis becomes.
❌ Relying on a Single Indicator
No indicator, including LiquidEdge, can account for every market condition. It’s important to use it alongside other forms of confirmation to avoid making decisions based on limited data.
❌ Misinterpreting Divergences as Reversals
A divergence between price and volume pressure doesn't always signal the end of a trend. If the broader direction remains strong (based on EMAs or higher timeframe volume flow), a divergence could reflect temporary consolidation rather than reversal.
❌ Ignoring Trend Alignment and Confidence Scoring
LiquidEdge includes confidence scoring to help validate signals. Disregarding this structure can lead to reacting to weak or out-of-context divergences, especially in choppy or low-volume environments.
❌ Using It on Second-Based or Tick Charts
Very low timeframes introduce too much noise, which can distort volume slope and divergence signals. For intraday analysis, start with 3-minute charts or higher. For swing trading, use 4H and up for clearer, more reliable structure.
9️⃣ LiquidEdge Settings Overview
A quick breakdown of what you can customize in the indicator and how each option affects what you see:

⚠️ Not recommended on ultra-low or second-based charts due to noise
🔟 Q&A – What Traders Usually Ask
➡️ Can this help reduce bad trades?
To a degree, yes. LiquidEdge is built to highlight areas where price may react, based on volume pressure, liquidity zones, and divergence patterns. It can offer clarity in sideways or messy markets, helping traders avoid impulsive or poorly timed entries.
That said, it’s not predictive or guaranteed. It works best when used with broader context including structure, support/resistance, trend, and volume-based confluence.
👉 Reminder: LiquidEdge is not a signal tool. It’s a decision-support framework designed to help you assess potential shifts, not replace judgment or trading rules.
➡️ Is this just another flashy signal tool?
No. LiquidEdge doesn’t give buy/sell alerts. Instead, it visualizes volume shifts using MFI slope, divergence filtering, and trend-based scoring. It’s built to help you understand why price action may be changing not just react to a one-dimensional signal.
You’re seeing how volume pressure evolves across timeframes, which gives added context to what’s unfolding in the market.
➡️ How do I know this isn’t just another overhyped tool?
LiquidEdge is based on real trading logic: volume pressure (via MFI slope), price behavior, and divergence within trend and liquidity zones. It was developed and tested by traders, not packaged by marketers.
No performance is guaranteed. It’s designed to support your decisions not promise results.
➡️ Will this work with my trading style?
If you trade any market with volume crypto, stocks, or futures LiquidEdge can add value.
✔️ Scalpers: Best from 3-minute and up
✔️ Swing traders: Works well on 4H, Daily, Weekly
✔️ Investors: Weekly charts show pressure buildup over time
⚠️ Avoid ultra-low timeframes (under 1M) or illiquid markets, as noise and irregular data can reduce reliability.
➡️ Can I trust the signals?
These are not buy/sell signals. LiquidEdge offers confidence-weighted insights based on:
✔️ Valid divergence
✔️ Zone positioning (above 80 / below 20)
✔️ Optional trend alignment (via EMA)
Each setup is scored visually to reflect how much confluence exists. You can combine that information with structure, price action, or your existing tools to evaluate opportunities.
👉 Think of LiquidEdge as a decision filter not a trigger.
It’s meant to slow down impulsive trades and help you make more context-aware decisions.
1️⃣1️⃣ Limitations – Know When It’s Less Effective
LiquidEdge performs best in stable, high-volume markets where volume data is consistent and structure is visible.
It’s not recommended for:
❌ Low-volume tokens
❌ Micro-cap or penny stocks
❌ Newly listed assets with limited trading history
These types of markets often show inconsistent or erratic volume behavior, making it difficult for LiquidEdge to accurately assess pressure or identify reliable divergences.
⚠️ During major news events or sudden volatility spikes, volume and price behavior can become disconnected or extreme. This may distort MFI slope calculations and reduce the accuracy of divergence or confidence scoring.
LiquidEdge is built to read structured volume flow. When market conditions become highly erratic or unpredictable, it's best to:
Wait for structure to return
Use it alongside other filters for additional confirmation
This isn't a flaw it's simply the nature of tools that rely on consistency in price and volume data.
1️⃣2️⃣ Real Chart Examples – See It in Action
Now that you’ve seen how LiquidEdge works, here are real-world chart examples from various asset classes
including:
✅ Crypto
✅ Stocks
✅ Futures
✅ Commodities
These examples demonstrate how LiquidEdge behaves under different conditions, and how both the line (MFI slope) and histogram (volume deviation) can be used to interpret market flow.
In each walkthrough, you’ll see:
How the histogram can highlight potential momentum shifts
When the slope line provides stronger directional clarity
Examples of possible hidden accumulation or distribution (before price responds)
What to watch out for such as weak volume, false divergences, or conflicting flow signals
👉 These are real examples based on live market data not theoretical setups. They’re meant to help you recognize how LiquidEdge reacts across multiple styles and timeframes.
Let’s walk through each one and break down the logic step by step, so you can understand how to evaluate setups using structure, volume behavior, and context-driven confluence.
Example: Microsoft (MSFT) – Possible Hidden Accumulation
In this setup, price was moving lower within a short-term downtrend. However, LiquidEdge began showing signs of increasing inflow pressure a common characteristic of accumulation, where volume rises even as price declines.
This divergence suggested that buying interest may have been increasing behind the scenes, despite weak price action on the surface.
Step-by-step breakdown:
👉 Trend context – Price was clearly trending down at the time
👉 Volume divergence – Price made lower lows, but LiquidEdge slope was rising = possible bullish divergence
👉 Accumulation clue – The rising slope, despite falling price, pointed to volume inflow often seen during quiet accumulation
👉 Histogram support – Volume pressure (via the histogram) also increased, confirming the flow shift
👉 Anticipating reaction – When liquidity pressure rises ahead of price, it can signal potential reversal interest
In this case, price later moved sharply higher. While not guaranteed, setups like this illustrate how divergence + volume flow may help highlight early accumulation zones before price confirms the shift.
Same Setup – Focusing on the Histogram Alone
Here, we’re revisiting the Microsoft setup but this time focusing only on the histogram, without the MFI slope line.
Even without the directional slope, the histogram showed rising volume pressure while price continued to drift lower. This visual pattern may indicate that buying interest was quietly increasing, despite weak price movement.
This is where the histogram adds value: it helps visualize the intensity of volume flow over time. When volume pressure builds during a flat or declining price phase, it can be consistent with accumulation where larger participants begin positioning before the market responds.
This example highlights how the histogram alone can provide early insight into underlying volume dynamics even before price shifts noticeably.
Filtering with EMA and why It Matters
Here, we revisit the Microsoft example this time applying the 200 EMA filter, which helps define the broader trend.
Once enabled, LiquidEdge automatically removed any bullish or bearish divergence signals that were against the prevailing trend. This helped reduce noise and focus only on setups aligned with market structure.
✅ The EMA acts as a contextual filter.
For example, if a bullish divergence occurs during a confirmed downtrend, LiquidEdge suppresses that signal helping you avoid setups that may carry more risk.
This filtering mechanism is especially useful in fast or choppy markets, where not all divergences are meaningful.
Want More Flexibility? Adjust the Filter
If you're a more aggressive trader or prefer shorter-term signals, you can reduce the EMA length (e.g., to 150, 50, or even 25). This increases the number of setups shown but also raises the importance of additional context and confirmation.
⚠️ Keep in mind:
❌ More signals doesn’t always mean better outcomes
✅ Focused, context-aware signals tend to be more consistent with broader market pressure
If you’re using this in combination with strategies like options trading, this filter can help refine your entry zones especially when paired with other structure or volatility tools.
Distribution Example and Bitcoin Setup Before a Major Drop
In this example, Bitcoin was trading in a relatively tight range while price continued to push upward. However, LiquidEdge began to show signs of volume outflow, which can suggest potential distribution.
Here’s what was observed:
🔴 Price was moving up inside a horizontal range
🔴 LiquidEdge’s slope indicated declining volume pressure
🔴 Several bearish divergence signals appeared during this consolidation phase
🔴 The histogram also showed weakening flow, even before price broke down
These overlapping signals pointed to a possible distribution phase, where buying momentum was fading despite price still holding up.
🧭 Signs to Watch for in Potential Distribution:
1️⃣ Price holding flat or rising slightly within a tight range
2️⃣ Volume pressure (line or histogram) sloping downward
3️⃣ Repeated bearish divergences forming at the highs
4️⃣ Lack of follow-through on bullish setups signaling hesitation in demand
While LiquidEdge can’t predict market outcomes, this scenario demonstrates how a combination of divergence, outflow, and failure to break out may serve as early warnings that momentum is shifting beneath the surface.
Failed Auction Example – Volume Shift Before a Breakdown
In this example, price attempted to break out above a recent high, creating the appearance of a bullish continuation. However, LiquidEdge began to signal volume outflow, despite the upward price move a potential sign of a failed auction.
Here’s what was observed:
👉 Price made a new high, appearing to break resistance
👉 LiquidEdge slope and histogram both showed declining liquidity
👉 The indicator formed lower lows, even as price pushed higher
👉 This divergence suggested that volume wasn’t supporting the breakout
Shortly after, price reversed and returned back inside the range which is a common characteristic of failed auction behavior.
🧭 Spotting a Potential Failed Auction with LiquidEdge:
1️⃣ Price breaks above a recent high
2️⃣ Volume flow (line + histogram) shows outflow, not inflow
3️⃣ Indicator forms lower lows while price makes higher highs (bearish divergence)
4️⃣ Market reverts back into the previous range without follow-through
While no tool can predict outcomes, this setup demonstrated how volume pressure and divergence can help identify moments where a breakout may lack real support offering context before price action confirms the shift.
Reading the Histogram - Spotting Pressure Fades
In this example, price was still rising but the LiquidEdge histogram showed falling volume pressure. This type of divergence between price and volume can serve as a potential early signal that momentum may be fading.
🔻 Histogram levels declined while price continued higher
🔻 This suggested that buying pressure was weakening, even though price hadn’t turned
🔻 Volume flow behavior didn’t support the continuation possibly indicating buyer exhaustion
Just before the peak, the histogram nearly reached its lower threshold, despite price still being near its highs.
💡 How to Read It:
When volume pressure (shown by the histogram) starts to fade while price is still rising, it can indicate that momentum is weakening. This may precede a pullback or reversal particularly if other factors like divergence or zone exhaustion are also present.
Conversely, rising histogram values during a price drop may suggest potential accumulation.
👉 Use the histogram as a volume intensity gauge, not a signal on its own especially when evaluating whether a move is supported by actual flow, or just price momentum.
The Table – Fast, Visual Multi-Timeframe Flow Insight
The multi-timeframe flow table in LiquidEdge provides a consolidated view of volume momentum across several key timeframes so you don’t need to switch between charts to compare flow strength.
👉 Instead of flipping from 5-minute to 15M, 1H, 4H, and Daily, the table displays flow direction on all of them at a glance.
Example layout:
🔼 Daily: Up
🔽 1H: Down
🔼 15M: Up
🔽 5M: Down
This setup gives you a quick read on whether volume momentum is aligned across multiple timeframes or diverging which can help frame your trade approach.
🧠 Why It’s Useful:
✅ Supports timeframe alignment
If higher timeframes show strong inflow while lower ones are mixed, you may interpret it as a swing-based opportunity. If short timeframes show pressure but higher frames are flat, it might suggest short-term setups with caution.
✅ Improves context awareness
Instead of interpreting a move in isolation, the table helps you assess whether short-term signals are part of a broader shift or going against higher timeframe flow.
💡 Pro Tip: Use the table as a starting point in your analysis. It’s a simple but effective snapshot of current liquidity pressure across the board helping you plan trades with broader context, rather than reacting chart-by-chart.
🔚 Final Thoughts
If you're focused on trading with better clarity and structure, LiquidEdge is designed to help you interpret what’s happening beneath the surface not just follow price movement.
While many tools highlight price alone, LiquidEdge combines volume pressure, divergence filtering, and trend-based context to help identify potential areas of accumulation, distribution, or momentum shifts even before they become obvious on a chart.
👉 This isn’t just another signal tool. It’s a framework to support smarter decision-making:
✔️ One that helps you filter out noise
✔️ One that scores setups using multiple layers of confirmation
✔️ One that brings volume context into every trade idea
Whether you're scalping on a 5-minute chart or managing a longer-term swing trade, LiquidEdge is built to help you stay aligned with volume-driven behavior not just react to price alone.
If you've struggled with late entries, unreliable setups, or second-guessing trades, this tool was designed to bring more structure to your process. It won’t remove all uncertainty but it can help you stay more selective, confident, and intentional.
✅ Trade with clarity
✅ Stay process-driven
✅ Focus on structure, not noise
LiquidEdge is not meant to replace your strategy. It’s here to enhance it.
In this chart, the 200 EMA filter was applied. As a result, only signals that aligned with the dominant trend direction were displayed helping to reduce distractions and focus on setups with stronger context.
💡 Using a higher EMA setting like 200 can reduce the number of signals shown, but may help you focus on higher-conviction opportunities.
That said, every trader is different:
Longer EMAs = fewer signals, but more trend-filtered setups
Shorter EMAs = more signals, faster entries but with potentially more noise
👉 Adjust the filter based on your trading style. Use a 200 EMA for swing trading, or reduce it to 50, 25, or even 5 if you're trading more aggressively or intraday.
LiquidEdge adapts to you not the other way around.
🔁 Adjusting EMA for Your Trading Style
Personal Tip: When trading more aggressively, I often use a 5 EMA filter especially when combining histogram strength with other tools. This increases signal responsiveness and may help highlight short-term flow shifts more quickly.
Below are visual examples that show how different EMA lengths impact the behavior of LiquidEdge:
50 EMA ON
25 EMA ON
5 EMA ON
Lower EMA Example – Gold with the 5 EMA
In this example, the 5 EMA filter was applied to Gold. As expected, more signals were plotted compared to higher EMA settings. The tool became more responsive to rapid shifts in volume momentum, making it more suitable for fast-paced trading environments.
This setting can help traders who prefer early entries but it also introduces more sensitivity, so context and additional confirmation become even more important.
Each setting affects signal frequency and filtering:
Higher EMA → fewer signals, more trend-confirmed setups
Lower EMA → more signals, quicker responses, but with more potential for noise
Choose what fits your approach:
Long-term swing → Stick with 200 EMA
Intraday or scalping → Consider shorter EMAs (50, 25, or 5)
💡 Reminder: EMA filtering is fully adjustable. LiquidEdge doesn’t lock you into one trading style it’s meant to adapt to your process, whether you’re swing trading or scalping short-term moves.
But There’s a Catch…
Using a lower EMA setting (like 5) opens up faster, more frequent signals but it also increases the need for precision and stronger trade management.
❗ More signals = More responsiveness
❗ Faster setups mean quicker decisions
❗ Risk control becomes even more important
💡 Lower Timeframes = More Detail, Less Margin for Error
A short EMA (like 5) can help you:
✅ Identify early momentum shifts
✅ Respond before traditional trend-followers
✅ Highlight short-term divergence and volume changes
But it also comes with tradeoffs:
❌ Greater signal noise
❌ Higher potential for misreads or fakeouts
❌ Requires clear structure and disciplined entries
🚩 Watch Out for Liquidity Grabs
In lower timeframes, a common trap is the liquidity grab where price pushes beyond recent highs or lows, triggers stops, then quickly reverses.
📌 These moves can look like breakouts, but often reverse quickly possibly reflecting institutional order placement or low-liquidity manipulation.
🧭 How to Approach It Smartly
✅ Use structure: Mark support and resistance to frame moves
✅ Confirm volume behavior: Is histogram strength rising or fading?
✅ Avoid chasing: Look for confluence, not just a single signal
✅ Be intentional with stops: Place them with structure in mind to avoid being swept out
NASDAQ Futures Example – Low Timeframe Setups with LiquidEdge
In this example, we look at how LiquidEdge was used to identify both short and long setups on the NASDAQ Futures (NQ) particularly on a low timeframe (5M), where quick decision-making and volume precision matter most.
⚠️ A Note on Futures and Volume
When trading futures, especially on intraday charts, it’s important to separate overnight volume from regular session activity.
🕒 Overnight Volume ≠ Real Volume Context
Overnight price action is informative, but the volume data itself may not reflect true market participation. In LiquidEdge, histogram and pressure calculations emphasize regular session flow helping avoid skewed signals that could come from low-volume overnight moves.
Using the Histogram to Spot Potential Shifts
One of the key cues I use is color transition in the histogram:
🔴 A flip from strong green to red can signal fading buying pressure, sometimes marking the beginning of a potential short setup.
🟢 A shift from red to green may indicate that buyers are returning, suggesting possible accumulation.
These shifts serve as early visual cues of changing pressure especially when confirmed by other tools or context.
🔁 Adding Context with the Line + Structure
After spotting a histogram shift, I look at:
1️⃣ Slope Line – Is it confirming the same directional pressure?
2️⃣ Support/Resistance – Are we near a meaningful zone?
3️⃣ Additional Tools – This includes trendlines, VWAP, EMAs, and overall price structure.
On lower timeframes like 5M, these pieces become even more important. LiquidEdge gives directional insight, but your full setup provides confirmation and execution logic.
⚠️ Disclaimer
LiquidEdge is not a signal tool. It’s a visual representation of market pressure and flow designed to help you make more informed trading and investing decisions. It shows you what’s happening beneath the price action but you are still responsible for your decisions.
Always combine LiquidEdge with your own strategy, research, and supporting tools. That includes trend analysis, support/resistance levels, chart patterns, and fundamentals (like P/E ratios, price-to-sales, debt ratios, etc.).
This tool should never be used alone or treated as financial advice.
