Ergodic Market Divergence (EMD)Ergodic Market Divergence (EMD)
Bridging Statistical Physics and Market Dynamics Through Ensemble Analysis
The Revolutionary Concept: When Physics Meets Trading
After months of research into ergodic theory—a fundamental principle in statistical mechanics—I've developed a trading system that identifies when markets transition between predictable and unpredictable states. This indicator doesn't just follow price; it analyzes whether current market behavior will persist or revert, giving traders a scientific edge in timing entries and exits.
The Core Innovation: Ergodic Theory Applied to Markets
What Makes Markets Ergodic or Non-Ergodic?
In statistical physics, ergodicity determines whether a system's future resembles its past. Applied to trading:
Ergodic Markets (Mean-Reverting)
- Time averages equal ensemble averages
- Historical patterns repeat reliably
- Price oscillates around equilibrium
- Traditional indicators work well
Non-Ergodic Markets (Trending)
- Path dependency dominates
- History doesn't predict future
- Price creates new equilibrium levels
- Momentum strategies excel
The Mathematical Framework
The Ergodic Score combines three critical divergences:
Ergodic Score = (Price Divergence × Market Stress + Return Divergence × 1000 + Volatility Divergence × 50) / 3
Where:
Price Divergence: How far current price deviates from market consensus
Return Divergence: Momentum differential between instrument and market
Volatility Divergence: Volatility regime misalignment
Market Stress: Adaptive multiplier based on current conditions
The Ensemble Analysis Revolution
Beyond Single-Instrument Analysis
Traditional indicators analyze one chart in isolation. EMD monitors multiple correlated markets simultaneously (SPY, QQQ, IWM, DIA) to detect systemic regime changes. This ensemble approach:
Reveals Hidden Divergences: Individual stocks may diverge from market consensus before major moves
Filters False Signals: Requires broader market confirmation
Identifies Regime Shifts: Detects when entire market structure changes
Provides Context: Shows if moves are isolated or systemic
Dynamic Threshold Adaptation
Unlike fixed-threshold systems, EMD's boundaries evolve with market conditions:
Base Threshold = SMA(Ergodic Score, Lookback × 3)
Adaptive Component = StDev(Ergodic Score, Lookback × 2) × Sensitivity
Final Threshold = Smoothed(Base + Adaptive)
This creates context-aware signals that remain effective across different market environments.
The Confidence Engine: Know Your Signal Quality
Multi-Factor Confidence Scoring
Every signal receives a confidence score based on:
Signal Clarity (0-35%): How decisively the ergodic threshold is crossed
Momentum Strength (0-25%): Rate of ergodic change
Volatility Alignment (0-20%): Whether volatility supports the signal
Market Quality (0-20%): Price convergence and path dependency factors
Real-Time Confidence Updates
The Live Confidence metric continuously updates, showing:
- Current opportunity quality
- Market state clarity
- Historical performance influence
- Signal recency boost
- Visual Intelligence System

This TradingView indicator combines Guppy Multiple Moving Averages (GMMA) with Bollinger Bands to help you identify trend direction and volatility zones, ideal for spotting pullback entries within trending markets.
🔵 1. Guppy Multiple Moving Averages (GMMA):
✅ Short-Term EMAs (Blue) — represent trader sentiment:
EMA 3, 5, 8, 10, 12, 15
✅ Long-Term EMAs (Red) — represent investor sentiment:
EMA 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 60
Usage:
When blue (short) EMAs are above red (long) EMAs and spreading → Strong uptrend
When blue EMAs cross below red EMAs → Potential downtrend
⚫ 2. Bollinger Bands (Volatility Envelopes):
Length: 300 (captures the longer-term price range)
Basis: 300-period SMA
Upper & Lower Bands:
±1 Standard Deviation (light gray zone)
±2 Standard Deviations (dark gray zone)
Fill Zones:
Highlights standard deviation ranges
Emphasizes extreme vs. normal price moves
Usage:
Price touching ±2 SD bands signals potential exhaustion
Price reverting to the mean suggests pullback or re-entry opportunity
💡 Important Note: Use With Momentum Filter
✅ For superior accuracy, this indicator should be combined with your invite-only momentum filter on TradingView.
This filter helps confirm whether the trend has underlying strength or is losing momentum, increasing the probability of successful entries and exits.
🕒 Recommended Timeframe:
📆 1-Hour Chart (60m)
This setup is optimized for short- to medium-term swing trading, where Guppy structures and Bollinger reversion work best.
🔧 Practical Strategy Example:
Long Trade Setup:
Short EMAs are above long EMAs (strong uptrend)
Price pulls back to the lower 1 or 2 SD band
Momentum filter confirms bullish strength
Short Trade Setup:
Short EMAs are below long EMAs (strong downtrend)
Price rises to the upper 1 or 2 SD band
Momentum filter confirms bearish strength
VWAP Fibonacci S&R with Bell CurveThis indicator is a sophisticated trading tool that combines three powerful technical analysis concepts to identify high-probability trading opportunities. Let me break down how it works:
Core Components:
1. VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price)
Calculates the average price weighted by volume over a specified period
Acts as a dynamic support/resistance level that institutions often use
Can reset daily, weekly, or monthly depending on your trading timeframe
The yellow line on your chart represents the current VWAP
2. Bell Curve Probability Analysis
Measures how far the current price deviates from the VWAP in statistical terms
Calculates a Z-score (standard deviations away from the mean)
Creates probability bands around the VWAP based on price volatility
The theory: extreme deviations from VWAP tend to revert back to the mean
3. Fibonacci Retracement Levels
Uses recent highs and lows to calculate key Fibonacci levels (38.2%, 50%, 61.8%)
These levels often act as support and resistance zones
Combined with VWAP analysis for confluence trading
How the Signals Work:
BUY Signals (Green arrows below candles)
Generated when either condition is met:
Mean Reversion Buy: Price is below VWAP + high probability of reversion + extreme statistical deviation
Fibonacci Support Buy: Price is above VWAP + near key Fibonacci support levels (38.2% or 50%)
SELL Signals (Red arrows above candles)
Generated when either condition is met:
Mean Reversion Sell: Price is above VWAP + high probability of reversion + extreme statistical deviation
Fibonacci Resistance Sell: Price is below VWAP + near key Fibonacci resistance levels (61.8% or 50%)
Visual Elements
Yellow Line: Main VWAP
Blue Bands: Probability zones based on standard deviation
Orange/White/Purple Lines: Key Fibonacci levels (38.2%, 50%, 61.8%)
Yellow Background: High probability mean reversion zones
⚠ Symbol: Extreme deviation warning (Z-score > 2.5)
The Information Table
Shows real-time statistics:
VWAP: Current VWAP value
Distance: How far price is from VWAP (percentage)
Z-Score: Statistical measure of deviation (>2 is significant)
Reversion %: Probability of mean reversion
Fib 50%: Key Fibonacci midpoint level
Status: Current signal state
Trading Logic
The indicator works on the principle that:
Extreme deviations from VWAP are unsustainable and tend to revert
Fibonacci levels provide natural support/resistance zones
Volume confirmation ensures the move has institutional backing
Statistical probability helps time entries when odds are favorable
Best Use Cases
Scalping: Quick mean reversion trades when price gets too far from VWAP
Swing Trading: Using Fibonacci levels with VWAP for longer-term positions
Risk Management: Avoiding trades when probability is low
Confluence Trading: Waiting for multiple signals to align
Multi-Timeframe MA Breakout/Breakdown Analysis📊 Overview
This sophisticated Pine Script indicator revolutionizes breakout/breakdown analysis by distinguishing between fake and genuine signals using a unique swing-level validation methodology. Unlike traditional moving average crossovers, this system validates price movements against historical swing points, providing traders with high-probability entry and exit signals across multiple timeframes.
🎯 Core Trading Methodology
The Swing Validation Concept:
Traditional MA breakouts often fail because they don't consider the context of previous price action. This indicator solves this by:
Recording swing levels when each MA is initially crossed
Validating subsequent crosses against these historical swing points
Classifying signals as fake or genuine based on this validation
Tracking signal evolution as price action develops
Signal Classification System:
🔻 Breakdown Analysis:
Fake Breakdown: Price cuts below MA but stays above the swing low from previous MA cut
Genuine Breakdown: Price cuts below MA and falls below the swing low from previous MA cut
Validation Chain: EMA 50 validates against EMA 20 swing low, EMA 100 against EMA 50 swing low, EMA 200 against EMA 100 swing low
🔺 Breakout Analysis:
Fake Breakout: Price crosses above MA but stays below the swing high from previous MA cross
Genuine Breakout: Price crosses above MA and exceeds the swing high from previous MA cross
Validation Chain: EMA 50 validates against EMA 20 swing high, EMA 100 against EMA 50 swing high, EMA 200 against EMA 100 swing high
📈 Signal Interpretation Guide
Visual Chart Signals:
Breakdown Signals:
🔻 Orange Triangle Down + "FAKE BREAKDOWN": Potential reversal opportunity - price likely to bounce
🔻 Red Triangle Down + "GENUINE BREAKDOWN": Trend continuation - expect further downside
🔺 Lime Triangle Up + "BULLISH REVERSAL": Strong buy signal after fake breakdown validation
Breakout Signals:
🔺 Orange Triangle Up + "FAKE BREAKOUT": Potential reversal opportunity - price likely to decline
🔺 Dark Red Triangle Up + "GENUINE BREAKOUT": Trend continuation - expect further upside
🔻 Fuchsia Triangle Down + "BEARISH REVERSAL": Strong sell signal after fake breakout validation
Multi-Timeframe Analysis Table:
Signal Column Interpretation:
"FAKE BD" (Orange): Fake breakdown detected - watch for bullish reversal
"GENUINE BD" (Red): Genuine breakdown - bearish continuation likely
"FAKE BO" (Orange): Fake breakout detected - watch for bearish reversal
"GENUINE BO" (Dark Red): Genuine breakout - bullish continuation likely
"BULLISH" (Lime): Bullish reversal confirmed - strong buy signal
"BEARISH" (Fuchsia): Bearish reversal confirmed - strong sell signal
Trend Column:
"BULL" (Green): EMAs in bullish sequence (20>50>100>200)
"BEAR" (Red): EMAs in bearish sequence (20<50<100<200)
"SIDE" (Gray): Sideways/mixed EMA alignment
Status Column:
"Above 200" (Green): Price above 200 EMA - bullish bias
"Below 200" (Red): Price below 200 EMA - bearish bias
"At 200" (Gray): Price at 200 EMA - neutral
💡 Trading Strategies
Strategy 1: Fake Signal Reversal Trading
For Long Entries (Fake Breakdown Reversal):
Wait for fake breakdown signal (orange triangle down)
Confirm bullish reversal (lime triangle up) when price reclaims EMAs
Enter long on bullish reversal confirmation
Stop loss below the swing low that validated the fake breakdown
Target next resistance level or previous swing high
For Short Entries (Fake Breakout Reversal):
Wait for fake breakout signal (orange triangle up)
Confirm bearish reversal (fuchsia triangle down) when price falls below EMAs
Enter short on bearish reversal confirmation
Stop loss above the swing high that validated the fake breakout
Target next support level or previous swing low
Strategy 2: Genuine Signal Trend Following
For Trend Continuation Longs:
Identify genuine breakout (dark red triangle up)
Confirm higher timeframe alignment (4H/1D showing bullish trend)
Enter on pullback to broken resistance (now support)
Stop loss below the validation swing high
Target measured move or next major resistance
For Trend Continuation Shorts:
Identify genuine breakdown (red triangle down)
Confirm higher timeframe alignment (4H/1D showing bearish trend)
Enter on pullback to broken support (now resistance)
Stop loss above the validation swing low
Target measured move or next major support
Strategy 3: Multi-Timeframe Confluence
High-Probability Setups:
Align signals across timeframes (15M signal + 4H trend confirmation)
Look for confluence (multiple timeframes showing same signal type)
Prioritize higher timeframe signals for swing/position trades
Use lower timeframes for precise entry timing
⚠️ Risk Management Rules
Position Sizing:
Fake signal trades: Reduce position size (higher risk, higher reward)
Genuine signal trades: Standard position size (trend following)
Multi-timeframe confluence: Increase position size (higher probability)
Stop Loss Guidelines:
Fake breakdown longs: Stop below validation swing low
Fake breakout shorts: Stop above validation swing high
Genuine signals: Stop beyond the MA that was broken
Reversals: Stop beyond the reversal invalidation level
Take Profit Strategies:
Scale out at key resistance/support levels
Trail stops using the 20 EMA for trend following
Take partial profits at 1:2 risk/reward ratio
Let winners run on strong trend continuation signals
🔧 Best Practices
Signal Validation:
Wait for candle close before acting on signals
Check volume confirmation on breakouts/breakdowns
Consider market context (news, earnings, etc.)
Avoid trading during low liquidity periods
Timeframe Selection:
Scalping: 15M signals with 4H trend filter
Day Trading: 4H signals with 1D trend filter
Swing Trading: 1D signals with 1W trend filter
Position Trading: 1W signals for major moves
Market Conditions:
Trending Markets: Focus on genuine signals for continuation
Range-Bound Markets: Focus on fake signals for reversals
High Volatility: Reduce position sizes and widen stops
Low Volatility: Look for breakout setups with volume
📋 Advanced Tips
Signal Evolution Monitoring:
Watch for signal transitions (fake becoming genuine or vice versa)
Adjust positions when signal classification changes
Use alerts to stay informed of signal updates
Monitor multiple timeframes for comprehensive analysis
Confluence Factors:
Support/Resistance levels at signal points
Volume spikes on genuine signals
RSI divergences with fake signals
Fibonacci retracements at reversal points
Common Pitfalls to Avoid:
Don't chase signals after significant moves
Don't ignore higher timeframe trends
Don't overtrade on every signal
Don't neglect risk management rules
🎯 Quick Reference
Bullish Signals Priority:
Bullish Reversal (Lime) - Highest priority
Fake Breakdown (Orange) - High probability reversal
Genuine Breakout (Dark Red) - Trend continuation
Bearish Signals Priority:
Bearish Reversal (Fuchsia) - Highest priority
Fake Breakout (Orange) - High probability reversal
Genuine Breakdown (Red) - Trend continuation
Multi-Timeframe Hierarchy:
1W: Major trend direction
1D: Intermediate trend and swing levels
4H: Short-term trend and entry timing
15M: Precise entry and exit points
⚡ Pro Tip: The most powerful signals occur when fake signals reverse into genuine signals in the opposite direction, creating high-momentum moves with excellent risk/reward ratios.

Tight Range Display with Background🌟 Tight Range Transparency Display with Background
What Is This Indicator?
Hey traders! Ever wanted a simple way to spot those quiet, low-volatility moments in the market that often signal a big move is coming? The Tight Range Transparency Display with Background does exactly that! This indicator highlights periods where the price is moving in a tight range—think of it as the calm before the storm. It paints the chart background blue to show these zones, with the shade getting darker the tighter the range becomes. It’s like having a visual cue to say, “Hey, something might be brewing here!”
Why You’ll Love It
Spot Key Moments Easily: The blue background makes it super easy to see when the market is in a tight range, which often happens before breakouts or big trends.
Customizable Settings: You can tweak the range thresholds to match your trading style—whether you’re looking for super tight zones or slightly broader ones.
Visual Clarity: The background gets darker when the range is tighter, giving you a quick sense of how compressed the price action is.
Perfect for Any Market: Works on stocks, forex, crypto, or any chart you trade, across any timeframe.
How to Use It
Add It to Your Chart:
Just copy this script into TradingView’s Pine Editor and hit "Add to Chart." It’ll overlay right on your price chart.
Tweak the Settings:
Open the indicator settings and use the dropdown menus to pick your preferred "Tight Range %" and "Wide Range %." For example, set a Tight Range % of 2.0% to catch smaller ranges, or go higher like 10.0% for broader ones.
You can also adjust the ATR Period (default is 5) to make the indicator more or less sensitive to recent price swings.
Watch for the Blue Background:
When the price enters a tight range, the chart background turns blue. The darker the blue, the tighter the range—meaning a potential breakout could be closer!
Trade Smarter:
Use these tight range zones to prepare for potential breakouts. For example, if you see a dark blue background, it might be a good time to watch for a big price move.
Pair this with other tools like support/resistance levels or volume spikes to confirm your trades.
Who Is This For?
Swing Traders: Perfect for spotting consolidation zones before a big swing.
Breakout Traders: Tight ranges often lead to breakouts—use this to time your entries.
Smart Money Followers: If you’re into smart money concepts, tight ranges can signal accumulation or distribution phases.
Beginners & Pros Alike: It’s easy to use for new traders but powerful enough for seasoned pros.
Real-World Example
Imagine you’re trading a stock on a 1-hour chart. You notice the background turns blue, and it’s getting darker over a few bars. This tells you the price range is tightening—maybe the stock is consolidating after a big move. You check your other indicators, see a volume spike, and spot a breakout above resistance. Boom! You catch the next big trend, all because this indicator helped you focus on the right moment.
Tips for Best Results
Try Different Timeframes: Tight ranges on a 15-minute chart might signal short-term moves, while a daily chart could highlight bigger trends.
Adjust for Your Market: For volatile markets like crypto, you might want a higher Tight Range % (e.g., 10.0%). For calmer markets like forex, try a lower setting (e.g., 2.0%).
Combine with Other Tools: Use this alongside trendlines, moving averages, or volume indicators to confirm your setups.
Why I Made This
I created this indicator because I wanted a simple, visual way to spot those critical low-volatility zones without cluttering my chart. The dynamic background color makes it intuitive to see when the market is “coiling up” for a potential move. I hope it helps you find better trading opportunities just like it does for me!

1. Introduction
The Swing-Failure-Pattern (SFP) – Confirmed Short indicator spots and tracks bearish SFPs on any market and timeframe, with defaults tuned for Daily charts.
A bearish SFP occurs when price sweeps a prior swing high (liquidity grab) and then decisively rejects lower , signalling a possible trend reversal or sharp pullback.
This script automatically:
Identifies the liquidity sweep & rejection (‐"SFP-SHORT" label)
Confirms directional intent via a structure-breaking close below the setup low
Paints a preferred sell-on-retest zone and tracks its validity
Identifies optimal entry opportunities when price retests the zone
Generates optional retest and entry alerts when trading conditions appear
Self-cleans after a configurable number of bars – keeping your chart tidy
Default Timeframe : Daily
Default Market : Crypto / FX majors
Works On : All symbols + timeframes – simply adjust parameters.
2. Core Concept – What Is an SFP?
Sweep (Liquidity Grab) – Price trades above a meaningful swing high, triggering stops & inducing breakout buyers.
Rejection – The same bar (or the next) closes back below the swept high, invalidating the breakout.
Structure Break – Bears confirm intent by closing below the "setup low" (the most recent pivot low before the sweep).
Retest – Price retraces to the sweep zone. Traders seek entries inside the upper half of that zone with invalidation just above the swing high.
The indicator encodes these four steps so you can spot high-quality bearish reversals without manual bar-by-bar analysis.
3. How the Indicator Works
Phase: Sweep & Rejection
Script Logic: high > lastSwingHigh and close < lastSwingHigh
Visual Cue: Red SFP-SHORT label above candle
Phase: Structure Break
Script Logic: Close < setupLow while pattern locked
Visual Cue: Zone (red line-box) plotted; SFP-SHORT label stays
Phase: Retest Tracking
Script Logic: Zone stays active for retestExpiry bars or until tapped
Visual Cue: Orange SFP-RETEST label when hit
Phase: Entry Signal
Script Logic: Price rejection within retest zone
Visual Cue: Green ENTRY label at optimal entry point
Phase: Expiry / Cleanup
Script Logic: Zone deleted after expiry
Visual Cue: Labels fade but remain visible for reference
All calculations reset after each completed/expired pattern ensuring fresh, uncluttered signals.
4. Visual Elements & Their Meaning
SFP-SHORT (red) – Bar that swept a prior high and closed below it.
Red Box / Line – Preferred sell zone between the swing high (upper bound) and dynamic lower bound (see sizing methods). Extends right until filled/expired.
SFP-RETEST (orange) – Bar that first tags the zone after confirmation.
ENTRY (green) – Appears when a high-probability entry signal occurs within the retest zone.
EXPIRED (gray) – Appears when the retest zone expires without being hit.
Visual Persistence – Labels fade but remain visible after expiry for reference and historical analysis.
5. Input Parameters Explained
Pivot Detection
Pivot left / right : Bars left/right of the pivot that must stay below/above it. Tip : Symmetrical values (3/3) work best for clean structure.
Retest Management
Retest expiry (bars) : Lifespan of a retest zone before it is considered stale. Default: 14 bars on Daily . Tip : Shorten for intraday, lengthen for swing trading.
Retest Zone Sizing
Sizing method : Select Static %, ATR-based or Hybrid logic for the lower boundary. Tip : Hybrid balances tight stops with realistic fills.
Static % : Fixed fraction of sweep range when Static/Hybrid is selected. Tip : Higher % deepens zone & widens stop.
ATR period : Look-back length for ATR when volatility sizing is used. Tip : Increase to smooth choppy markets.
ATR multiplier : Multiplier applied to ATR in ATR-based/Hybrid mode. Tip : Higher value widens zone during volatility.
Visual – Retest Zone
Show retest zone box : Toggles drawing of the semi-transparent sell zone box. Tip : Disable for ultra-clean look.
Retest box color : Fill colour of the box (alpha = transparency). Tip : Match your chart theme.
Max retest boxes : How many historical boxes remain visible (0 = unlimited). Tip : Lower to boost performance.
Only show active boxes : Automatically deletes a box once it's hit. Tip : Reduces clutter during back-testing.
Visual – General
Minimal mode : Hides most visuals apart from critical labels. Tip : Ideal for screenshots.
Show retest zone line : Draws a vertical line linking upper/lower boundaries. Tip : Acts as a quick depth guide.
Show ENTRY labels : Plots 'ENTRY' on optimal candles. Tip : Turn off for manual confirmation.
Labels
Label size : Overall size of all labels. Tip : tiny / small / normal.
Use simple label style : Switches to pixel text style for labels. Tip : Faster rendering on low-spec machines.
Advanced
minPct / maxPct (hard-coded) : Internal floor/cap for Hybrid logic. Tip : Exposed in code for power-users only.
Zone-Sizing Methods
Static – Lower bound = sweepRange × staticPct.
ATR-based – Lower bound = ATR × multiplier, normalised to the sweepRange.
Hybrid – Uses the greater of Static and ATR-based (capped by an internal safety ceiling).
6. Step-by-Step Trading Playbook
Identify Context – Prefer setups against extended moves into obvious highs (e.g., daily swing highs, prior week high, round numbers).
Wait for SFP Confirmation – The indicator will label an SFP-SHORT only after the candle closes. Do not front-run.
Structure-Break Close – A close below setupLow turns the zone live. This is your go signal – prepare sell orders.
Place Orders in the Zone
Entry : Limit order anywhere between retestLower and the swing high.
Stop : 1-2 ticks/pips above the swing high.
Risk Management
Size position so risk per trade ≤ account risk % (common: 0.5-1%).
If no retest before retestExpiry bars → cancel order .
Targets
Conservative: First liquidity pocket / FVG below.
Aggressive: 2-3× risk or next HTF support.
Trail or Partial – Consider trailing stop once 1R is achieved or partial profit at 1R.
7. Example Workflow (Daily BTC-USDT)
BTC trades to a fresh one-month high at $31 050 sweeping prior highs.
Candle closes at $30 420 – below the swept high – SFP-SHORT label appears.
Two days later, candle closes below setupLow at $29 880 – confirmation & zone plotted (upper = $31 050, lower ≈ $30 550).
Five days later price retests the zone hitting $30 750 – SFP-RETEST alert fires, trade filled.
Stop placed @ $31 120 (70$ risk). 1R target = $29 680 reached four days later.
8. Alerts & Automation
SFP Short confirmed
Fires When: Structure-break close below setupLow.
Suggested Action: Prepare/submit sell-limit order in the zone.
SFP Short retest
Fires When: Price enters the retest zone.
Suggested Action: Monitor for entry signals or prepare for manual entry.
SFP Short Entry Signal
Fires When: Optimal entry conditions detected within retest zone.
Suggested Action: Execute short trade with defined risk parameters.
Use TradingView's Webhook URL to forward alerts to a trade-execution bot (e.g., PineConnector) for automated order placement.
9. Tips, Tricks & Best Practices
Combine with HTF Bias – Only take bearish SFPs in bearish weekly trend.
Watch Volume – High volume on the sweep bar adds conviction.
Time Window – SFPs during NY session FX / US session crypto tend to be stronger.
Cluster Zones – Multiple overlapping SFP zones increase probability; treat the cluster as one larger supply.
Avoid News – Skip SFPs forming minutes before high-impact macro news.
10. FAQ
Q: Can I use this on lower timeframes?
A: Yes – reduce retestExpiry (e.g., 15 bars on 15-minute) and test ATR-based sizing.
Q: Does it work for longs?
A: This script focuses on bearish SFPs. Clone & invert conditions for longs.
Q: Why did a zone disappear?
A: Either it expired (retestExpiry) without a retest or the cleanup routine removed old visuals to stay within Pine limits (500 objects per type).
Q: What's the difference between the "SFP-RETEST" and "ENTRY" signals?
A: "SFP-RETEST" indicates price has entered the zone, while "ENTRY" signals an optimal entry opportunity based on price rejection within the zone.
Q: How do I customize the label appearance?
A: Use the "Label size" and "Use simple label style" settings to adjust all labels to your preferred visual style.
Happy trading & trade safe!
11. Advanced Configuration & Asset-Class Playbook
Why does the retest box feel "too high" and how do I actually get filled? Use the quick tweaks below or the power-user code snippet to shape the zone to your personality and instrument.
11.1 Why the default box is shallow
The Static 25 % / ATR-Hybrid logic keeps stops small. Around 50 % of Daily BTC SFPs never look back – that's the cost of tight risk. If you need higher fill-rates, deepen the zone (11.2).
11.2 Three slider moves – no coding required
Retest zone sizing method – switch Static → Hybrid or ATR-based
Static % – raise from 0.25 → 0.45-0.60
ATR multiplier – raise from 1.0 → 1.5-2.0
Each turn pulls the lower edge of the box deeper while keeping the invalidation at the swing high.
11.3 One-liner for coders
To allow >60 % of the sweep range edit the source:
Old code:
minPct = 0.05
maxPct = 0.60
New code:
minPct = 0.05
maxPct = input.float(0.60, "Max retest % of sweep", step = 0.05, minval = 0.10, maxval = 0.95)
Then dial the cap up to ~0.80-0.90 from the settings panel.
11.4 If price never comes back…
No-retest partial – take 25-40 % size on the confirmation candle, stop above the high.
Lower-TF confirmation – drop to 4 h / 1 h and hunt an internal SFP or bearish FVG inside the sweep.
ATR trail – if price dumps immediately, trail the stop above each new lower-high.
11.5 Asset-Class Cheat-Sheet
Crypto – Daily : Static %: 0.20-0.35, ATR mult: 1.0, Retest Expiry: 12-20 . Notes : High volatility; sweeps expand fast.
FX Majors – 4 h/D : Static %: 0.25-0.40, ATR mult: 1.2, Retest Expiry: 15-25 . Notes : ATR handles session compression.
Index Futures – 1 h : Static %: 0.30-0.50, ATR mult: 1.5, Retest Expiry: 10-20 . Notes : Hybrid recommended; gaps tighten sweeps.
US Equities – 30 m : Static %: 0.35-0.55, ATR mult: 1.5-2.0, Retest Expiry: 10-14 . Notes : Consider no-retest entry on earnings spikes.

AxisAxis Indicator: Dynamic Trend Lines & Support/Resistance with Trading Mode Presets
Overview
The Axis indicator is a powerful, all-in-one tool for traders, designed to identify key trend lines and support/resistance (S&R) levels across various trading strategies. With 11 predefined trading modes—Scalping, Day Trading, Swing Trading, Long-Term, Position Trading, Breakout Trading, Mean Reversion, Trend Following, Range Trading, Volatility Trading, and Counter-Trend Trading—Axis adapts to your trading style by automatically adjusting parameters like volume Moving Average (MA) periods, fractal lookbacks, and alert proximity. Built-in timeframe validation ensures you’re using the optimal chart timeframe for your selected mode, with a warning label displayed if the timeframe is unsuitable. Whether you’re a scalper chasing quick moves or a position trader eyeing long-term trends, Axis provides precise, volume-filtered signals to enhance your trading decisions.
How It Works
Axis plots two sets of trend lines (A and B) and two sets of S&R levels (A and B) on your chart, each tailored to the selected trading mode:
Trend Lines (A & B): Identifies uptrend and downtrend lines using pivot highs/lows with mode-specific lookback periods. Lines are drawn only when volume exceeds the mode’s volume MA, ensuring high-probability signals.
Support/Resistance (A & B): Plots horizontal S&R levels based on pivot highs/lows, filtered by volume to highlight significant price levels.
Volume MA: Uses a mode-specific MA type (SMA, EMA, WMA, HMA, or VWMA) to validate pivots. MA periods are scaled by timeframe (e.g., 1m, 1h, Daily) and capped at 5,000 candles to prevent errors.
Timeframe Validation: Checks if the chart’s timeframe matches the mode’s recommended range (e.g., 5m–1h for Volatility Trading). If not, a yellow warning label appears (e.g., “Timeframe may not suit Scalping”).
Alerts: Triggers alerts for new trend lines, S&R levels, and price crosses, allowing real-time trade monitoring.
Trading Modes & Recommended Timeframes
Each mode is preconfigured with optimized settings for specific strategies and timeframes:
Scalping (1m–15m): Fast signals with short lookbacks (1–3 bars) and tight alerts (0.2%) for intraday scalps.
Day Trading (15m–1h): Intraday focus with moderate lookbacks (2–4 bars) and 0.3% alert proximity.
Swing Trading (1h–4h): Multi-day/week trades with balanced settings (2–5 bars, 0.5% alerts).
Long-Term (Daily–Weekly): Major trends with longer lookbacks (3–7 bars, 1.0% alerts).
Position Trading (Weekly–Monthly): Long-term moves with robust settings (4–20 bars, 1.5% alerts).
Breakout Trading (30m–4h): Detects breakouts with sensitive settings (1–4 bars, 0.25% alerts).

Value Scanner | QuantEdgeB📡 Value Scanner | QuantEdgeB
🔍 What is the Value Scanner?
The Value Scanner by QuantEdgeB is a volatility-adaptive valuation framework that dynamically evaluates where price sits relative to a custom “Fair Value” zone. It combines your choice of moving average engine (SMA, WMA, VIDYA, etc.) with multi-layered standard deviation or ATR-based bands to highlight extreme conditions, reversal zones, and statistical overextensions in real time.
💡 Think of Value Scanner as a radar grid, continuously scanning market terrain and painting a full spectrum from balance to extreme disequilibrium.
⚙️ Core Components
✅ Customizable Moving Average Core
At the heart of the scanner lies a flexible moving average engine:
• Choose from 12+ advanced types: 𝓦𝓜𝓐, 𝓥𝓦𝓜𝓐, 𝓥𝓘𝓓𝓨𝓐, 𝓢𝓜𝓜𝓐, 𝓐𝓛𝓜𝓐, 𝓛𝓢𝓜𝓐, and more.
• Fair Value is derived from this base and acts as the center of the statistical zones.
✅ Volatility-Driven Band Construction
Two volatility methods power the adaptive zones:
• Average True Range (ATR): Ideal for reactive, price-based spreads.
• Standard Deviation (SD): Better for modeling reversion and deviation symmetry.
The scanner builds up to ±5σ zones, dynamically updating in real time.
🎯 Signal and Zone Identification
🧭 Deviation Labels
The system assigns a statistical label at every candle:
• From +0.5σ to +5σ for increasing levels of overextension upward.
• From -0.5σ to -5σ for oversold and undervalued conditions.
🌐 Market Stage Detection
Each deviation zone is translated into an intuitive market phrase such as:
• “𝓔𝔁𝓽𝓻𝓮𝓶𝓮𝓵𝔂 𝓞𝓿𝓮𝓻𝓫𝓸𝓾𝓰𝓱𝓽”
• “𝓜𝓲𝓭 𝓥𝓪𝓵𝓾𝓮 / 𝓑𝓪𝓵𝓪𝓷𝓬𝓮𝓭”
• “𝓜𝓪𝔁𝓲𝓶𝓾𝓶 𝓔𝔁𝓽𝓮𝓷𝓼𝓲𝓸𝓷 𝓓𝓸𝔀𝓷”
These phrases help you intuitively gauge risk, reward, and imbalance without needing to study a chart for long.
🔺 Signal Mechanics
📌 Reversal Signals (Optional)
• Automatic buy signals when price crosses above key lower deviation levels.
• Sell signals when price crosses below upper deviation bands.
• Ideal for mean-reversion setups or high-probability reversal plays.
🖼️ Visual Overlay Engine
• Beautifully shaded volatility bands with decreasing opacity as they move away from fair value.
• Background coloring highlights extreme price zones for fast visual alerts.
• Built-in "table display" summarizing the current base, volatility method, direction, fair value, and deviation stage.
📊 Table Overlay Features
The live diagnostic table (position adjustable) displays:
• 📈 Current Base MA Type
• 🌡️ Volatility Method in use (ATR or SD)
• 🧭 Trend direction (rising/falling/neutral)
• 🧮 Current Deviation Label (+2σ, -3σ, etc.)
• 🚦 Interpretive Stage Phrase ("Strongly Overbought", etc.)
• 📍 Real-Time Fair Value
• 🚨 Upper & Lower Extremes
🧠 Why Use the Value Scanner?
This tool is designed for traders who want to:
• Identify price extremes relative to statistical norms.
• Time entries and exits based on price's relationship to value zones.
• Visualize volatility structure without clutter.
• Combine trend-following or mean-reversion logic with elegant overlays and table analytics.
💼 Ideal Use Cases
• Swing trading: Spot overextensions or returns to mean.
• Options traders: Gauge volatility compression or expansion.
• Reversion systems: Generate contrarian signals at edge zones.
• Trend continuation: Use +1σ or -1σ as breakout validation levels.
🧬 Default Settings
• Base Type: 𝓦𝓜𝓐
• Length: 21
• Volatility Type: 𝓐𝓿𝓰. 𝓣𝓻𝓾𝓮 𝓡𝓪𝓷𝓰𝓮
•. Volatility Lengths: ATR 14 / Stdev 30
🧬 In Summary

Power Block Consolidation with Volume @MaxMaserati 2.0Power Block Consolidation with Volume @MaxMaserati 2.0
Overview
Price action hinges on consolidation, the foundation of market moves. The "Power Block Consolidation with Volume @MaxMaserati 2.0" (MMPB) indicator uses a proprietary, ingenious system to identify high-probability consolidation zones—termed "power blocks"—where smart money drives accumulation or distribution. By leveraging a unique limitorphe closing candle system, to plots volume to signal price direction: significant volume at the high price indicates bullish continuation, while volume at the low price suggests bearish momentum. This tool empowers traders to exploit bullish and bearish trends with precision.
Key Features
Consolidation Detection: Pinpoints power blocks using a secret system, marking zones of smart money activity.
Volume Analysis: A proprietary limitrophe closing candle system splits volume into buying (high price) and selling (low price), revealing accumulation (buying pressure) or distribution (selling pressure).
Trend Visualization:
Bullish Trends: Green boxes and lines highlight consolidation zones with high volume at the high price, signaling upward continuation.
Bearish Trends: Red boxes and lines mark zones with high volume at the low price, indicating downward momentum.
NB: The volume matter more than the color of the box.
Example
High volume up at the box vs low volume at the low we expect an up move
Even we had a bearish Body close below the box price reconfirmed the up move
Price make the bullish upside move
Price retest the box and reject it strongly
Breakout and Retest: Captures breakouts from power blocks, with price often retesting the zone before resuming the trend.
Volume Labels: Displays buying (green) and selling (red) volume on lines for clear pressure analysis.
Breakout Alerts: Triggers alerts for bullish ("BuBC") and bearish ("BeBC") breakouts, with optional visual markers (triangles).
Strategy
MMPB is designed to capture smart money behavior in consolidation zones, where markets prepare for significant moves. Key principles:
Volume-Driven Direction: High volume at the high price within a power block signals strong bullish continuation; high volume at the low price indicates bearish potential.
Accumulation/Distribution: Buying volume reflects accumulation, priming bullish trends; selling volume signals distribution, fueling bearish trends.
Breakout and Retest: Price often breaks out from power blocks and retests the zone, offering low-risk entry points.
Consolidation as Precursor: Markets require consolidation to build momentum, making power blocks critical for trend prediction.
Traders can:
Enter on breakouts with strong volume confirmation.
Target retests of power blocks for high-probability setups.
Use volume labels to assess trend strength.
Use Cases
Trend Trading: Ride bullish or bearish trends post-breakout from high-volume power blocks.
Swing Trading: Use power blocks as dynamic support/resistance for entries and exits.
Smart Money Analysis: Identify accumulation (bullish) or distribution (bearish) zones.
Risk Management: Place stops at power block edges during retests.
Conclusion
The MMPB indicator, powered by a proprietary system, transforms consolidation analysis by identifying power blocks where smart money operates. Its limitrophe closing candle system highlights volume-driven trends, enabling traders to capitalize on bullish and bearish moves with confidence. Ideal for trend and swing traders, MMPB shines in markets where consolidation precedes significant trends, offering clear signals for breakouts and retests.
Enhanced Volume Trend Indicator with BB SqueezeEnhanced Volume Trend Indicator with BB Squeeze: Comprehensive Explanation
The visualization system allows traders to quickly scan multiple securities to identify high-probability setups without detailed analysis of each chart. The progression from squeeze to breakout, supported by volume trend confirmation, offers a systematic approach to identifying trading opportunities.
The script combines multiple technical analysis approaches into a comprehensive dashboard that helps traders make informed decisions by identifying high-probability setups while filtering out noise through its sophisticated confirmation requirements. It combines multiple technical analysis approaches into an integrated visual system that helps traders identify potential trading opportunities while filtering out false signals.
Core Features
1. Volume Analysis Dashboard
The indicator displays various volume-related metrics in customizable tables:
AVOL (After Hours + Pre-Market Volume): Shows extended hours volume as a percentage of the 21-day average volume with color coding for buying/selling pressure. Green indicates buying pressure and red indicates selling pressure.
Volume Metrics: Includes regular volume (VOL), dollar volume ($VOL), relative volume compared to 21-day average (RVOL), and relative volume compared to 90-day average (RVOL90D).
Pre-Market Data: Optional display of pre-market volume (PVOL), pre-market dollar volume (P$VOL), pre-market relative volume (PRVOL), and pre-market price change percentage (PCHG%).
2. Enhanced Volume Trend (VTR) Analysis
The Volume Trend indicator uses adaptive analysis to evaluate buying and selling pressure, combining multiple factors:
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) components
Volume-to-SMA (Simple Moving Average) ratio
Price direction and market conditions
Volume change rates and momentum
EMA (Exponential Moving Average) alignment and crossovers
Volatility filtering
VTR Visual Indicators
The VTR score ranges from 0-100, with values above 50 indicating bullish conditions and below 50 indicating bearish conditions. This is visually represented by colored circles:
"●" (Filled Circle):
Green: Strong bullish trend (VTR ≥ 80)
Red: Strong bearish trend (VTR ≤ 20)
"◯" (Hollow Circle):
Green: Moderate bullish trend (VTR 65-79)
Red: Moderate bearish trend (VTR 21-35)
"·" (Small Dot):
Green: Weak bullish trend (VTR 55-64)
Red: Weak bearish trend (VTR 36-45)
"○" (Medium Hollow Circle): Neutral conditions (VTR 46-54), shown in gray
In "Both" display mode, the VTR shows both the numerical score (0-100) alongside the appropriate circle symbol.
Enhanced VTR Settings
The Enhanced Volume Trend component offers several advanced customization options:
Adaptive Volume Analysis (volTrendAdaptive):
When enabled, dynamically adjusts volume thresholds based on recent market volatility
Higher volatility periods require proportionally higher volume to generate significant signals
Helps prevent false signals during highly volatile markets
Keep enabled for most trading conditions, especially in volatile markets
Speed of Change Weight (volTrendSpeedWeight, range 0-1):
Controls emphasis on volume acceleration/deceleration rather than absolute levels
Higher values (0.7-1.0): More responsive to new volume trends, better for momentum trading
Lower values (0.2-0.5): Less responsive, better for trend following
Helps identify early volume trends before they fully develop
Momentum Period (volTrendMomentumPeriod, range 2-10):
Defines lookback period for volume change rate calculations
Lower values (2-3): More responsive to recent changes, better for short timeframes
Higher values (7-10): Smoother, better for daily/weekly charts
Directly affects how quickly the indicator responds to new volume patterns
Volatility Filter (volTrendVolatilityFilter):
Adjusts significance of volume by factoring in current price volatility
High volume during high volatility receives less weight
High volume during low volatility receives more weight
Helps distinguish between genuine volume-driven moves and volatility-driven moves
EMA Alignment Weight (volTrendEmaWeight, range 0-1):
Controls importance of EMA alignments in final VTR calculation
Analyzes multiple EMA relationships (5, 10, 21 period)
Higher values (0.7-1.0): Greater emphasis on trend structure
Lower values (0.2-0.5): More focus on pure volume patterns
Display Mode (volTrendDisplayMode):
"Value": Shows only numerical score (0-100)
"Strength": Shows only symbolic representation
"Both": Shows numerical score and symbol together
3. Bollinger Band Squeeze Detection (SQZ)
The BB Squeeze indicator identifies periods of low volatility when Bollinger Bands contract inside Keltner Channels, often preceding significant price movements.
SQZ Visual Indicators
"●" (Filled Circle): Strong squeeze - high probability setup for an impending breakout
Green: Strong squeeze with bullish bias (likely upward breakout)
Red: Strong squeeze with bearish bias (likely downward breakout)
Orange: Strong squeeze with unclear direction
"◯" (Hollow Circle): Moderate squeeze - medium probability setup
Green: With bullish EMA alignment
Red: With bearish EMA alignment
Orange: Without clear directional bias
"-" (Dash): Gray dash indicates no squeeze condition (normal volatility)
The script identifies squeeze conditions through multiple methods:
Bollinger Bands contracting inside Keltner Channels
BB width falling to bottom 20% of recent range (BB width percentile)
Very narrow Keltner Channel (less than 5% of basis price)
Tracking squeeze duration in consecutive bars
Different squeeze strengths are detected:
Strong Squeeze: BB inside KC with tight BB width and narrow KC
Moderate Squeeze: BB inside KC with either tight BB width or narrow KC
No Squeeze: Normal market conditions
4. Breakout Detection System
The script includes two breakout indicators working in sequence:
4.1 Pre-Breakout (PBK) Indicator
Detects potential upcoming breakouts by analyzing multiple factors:
Squeeze conditions lasting 2-3 bars or more
Significant price ranges
Strong volume confirmation
EMA/MACD crossovers
Consistent price direction
PBK Visual Indicators
"●" (Filled Circle): Detected pre-breakout condition
Green: Likely upward breakout (bullish)
Red: Likely downward breakout (bearish)
Orange: Direction not yet clear, but breakout likely
"-" (Dash): Gray dash indicates no pre-breakout condition
The PBK uses sophisticated conditions to reduce false signals including minimum squeeze length, significant price movement, and technical confirmations.
4.2 Breakout (BK) Indicator
Confirms actual breakouts in progress by identifying:
End of squeeze or strong expansion of Bollinger Bands
Volume expansion
Price moving outside Bollinger Bands
EMA crossovers with volume confirmation
MACD crossovers with significant price range
BK Visual Indicators
"●" (Filled Circle): Confirmed breakout in progress
Green: Upward breakout (bullish)
Red: Downward breakout (bearish)
Orange: Unusual breakout pattern without clear direction
"◆" (Diamond): Special breakout conditions (meets some but not all criteria)
"-" (Dash): Gray dash indicates no breakout detected
The BK indicator uses advanced filters for confirmation:
Requires consecutive breakout signals to reduce false positives
Strong volume confirmation requirements (40% above average)
Significant price movement thresholds
Consistency checks between price action and indicators

Calculates the percentage difference between ATHI.US and ATLO.US (high vs. low securities), indicating overall market direction and strength.
7. Session Analysis and Volume Direction
Session Detection
The script accurately identifies different market sessions:
Pre-market: 4:00 AM to 9:30 AM
Regular market: 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM
After-hours: 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM
Closed: Outside trading hours
This detection works on any timeframe through careful calculation of current time in seconds.
Buy/Sell Volume Direction
The script analyzes buying and selling pressure by:
Counting up volume when close > open
Counting down volume when close < open
Tracking accumulated volume within the day
Calculating intraday pressure (up volume minus down volume)
Enhanced AVOL Calculation
The improved AVOL calculation works in all timeframes by:
Estimating typical pre-market and after-hours volume percentages
Combining yesterday's after-hours with today's pre-market volume
Calculating this as a percentage of the 21-day average volume
Determining buying/selling pressure by analyzing after-hours and pre-market price changes
Color-coding results: green for buying pressure, red for selling pressure
This calculation is particularly valuable because it works consistently across any timeframe.
Customization Options
Display Settings
The dashboard has two customizable tables: Volume Table and Metrics Table, with positions selectable as bottom_left or bottom_right.
All metrics can be individually toggled on/off:
Pre-market data (PVOL, P$VOL, PRVOL, PCHG%)
Volume data (AVOL, RVOL Day, RVOL 90D, Volume, SEED_YASHALGO_NSE_BREADTH:VOLUME )
Price metrics (ADR%, ATR, RSI, Price Change%)
Market indicators (QQQ, UVIX, Breadth, BTC-USD)
Analysis indicators (Volume Trend, BB Squeeze, Pre-Breakout, Breakout)
These toggle options allow traders to customize the dashboard to show only the metrics they find most valuable for their trading style.
Table and Text Customization
The dashboard's appearance can be customized:
Table background color via tableBgColor
Text color (White or Black) via textColorOption
The indicator uses smart formatting for volume and price values, automatically adding appropriate suffixes (K, M, B) for readability.
MACD Configuration for VTR
The Volume Trend calculation incorporates MACD with customizable parameters:
Fast Length: Controls the period for the fast EMA (default 3)
Slow Length: Controls the period for the slow EMA (default 9)
Signal Length: Controls the period for the signal line EMA (default 5)
MACD Weight: Controls how much influence MACD has on the volume trend score (default 0.3)
These settings allow traders to fine-tune how momentum is factored into the volume trend analysis.
Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channel Settings
The Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels used for squeeze detection have preset (hidden) parameters:
BB Length: 20 periods
BB Multiplier: 2.0 standard deviations
Keltner Length: 20 periods
Keltner Multiplier: 1.5 ATR
These settings follow standard practice for squeeze detection while maintaining simplicity in the user interface.
Practical Trading Applications
Complete Trading Strategies
1. Squeeze Breakout Strategy
This strategy combines multiple components of the indicator:
Wait for a strong squeeze (SQZ showing ●)
Look for pre-breakout confirmation (PBK showing ● in green or red)
Enter when breakout is confirmed (BK showing ● in same direction)
Use VTR to confirm volume supports the move (VTR ≥ 65 for bullish or ≤ 35 for bearish)
Set profit targets based on ADR (Average Daily Range)
Exit when VTR begins to weaken or changes direction
2. Volume Divergence Strategy
This strategy focuses on the volume trend relative to price:
Identify when price makes a new high but VTR fails to confirm (divergence)
Look for VTR to show weakening trend (● changing to ◯ or ·)
Prepare for potential reversal when SQZ begins to form
Enter counter-trend position when PBK confirms reversal direction
Use external indicators (QQQ, BTC, Breadth) to confirm broader market support
3. Pre-Market Edge Strategy
This strategy leverages pre-market data:
Monitor AVOL for unusual pre-market activity (significantly above 100%)
Check pre-market price change direction (PCHG%)
Enter position at market open if VTR confirms direction
Use SQZ to determine if volatility is likely to expand
Exit based on RVOL declining or price reaching +/- ADR for the day
Market Context Integration
The indicator provides valuable context for trading decisions:
QQQ change shows tech market direction
BTC price shows crypto market correlation
UVIX change indicates volatility expectations
Breadth measurement shows market internals
This context helps traders avoid fighting the broader market and align trades with overall market direction.
Timeframe Optimization
The indicator is designed to work across different timeframes:
For day trading: Focus on AVOL, VTR, PBK/BK, and use shorter momentum periods
For swing trading: Focus on SQZ duration, VTR strength, and broader market indicators
For position trading: Focus on larger VTR trends and use EMA alignment weight
Advanced Analytical Components
Enhanced Volume Trend Score Calculation
The VTR score calculation is sophisticated, with the base score starting at 50 and adjusting for:
Price direction (up/down)
Volume relative to average (high/normal/low)
Volume acceleration/deceleration
Market conditions (bull/bear)
Additional factors are then applied, including:
MACD influence weighted by strength and direction
Volume change rate influence (speed)
Price/volume divergence effects
EMA alignment scores
Volatility adjustments
Breakout strength factors
Price action confirmations
The final score is clamped between 0-100, with values above 50 indicating bullish conditions and below 50 indicating bearish conditions.
Anti-False Signal Filters
The indicator employs multiple techniques to reduce false signals:
Requiring significant price range (minimum percentage movement)
Demanding strong volume confirmation (significantly above average)
Checking for consistent direction across multiple indicators
Requiring prior bar consistency (consecutive bars moving in same direction)
Counting consecutive signals to filter out noise
These filters help eliminate noise and focus on high-probability setups.
MACD Enhancement and Integration
The indicator enhances standard MACD analysis:
Calculating MACD relative strength compared to recent history
Normalizing MACD slope relative to volatility
Detecting MACD acceleration for stronger signals
Integrating MACD crossovers with other confirmation factors
EMA Analysis System
The indicator uses a comprehensive EMA analysis system:
Calculating multiple EMAs (5, 10, 21 periods)
Detecting golden cross (10 EMA crosses above 21 EMA)
Detecting death cross (10 EMA crosses below 21 EMA)
Assessing price position relative to EMAs
Measuring EMA separation percentage
Recent Enhancements and Evolution
Version 5.2 includes several improvements:
Enhanced AVOL to show buying/selling direction through color coding
Improved VTR with adaptive analysis based on market conditions
AVOL display now works in all timeframes through sophisticated estimation
Removed animal symbols and streamlined code with bright colors for better visibility

This sequence often occurs in order, with the squeeze leading to pre-breakout conditions, followed by an actual breakout.
VTR (Volume Trend): Provides context about the volume supporting these movements.
Color Coding: Green for bullish conditions, red for bearish conditions, and orange/gray for neutral or undefined conditions.
Position Size Calculator (Fixed % or ATR-based Stop Support)Position Size Calculator (Fixed % or ATR-based Stop Support)
Purpose and Background
This indicator allows traders to calculate appropriate position sizes directly on the chart, based on a key rule:
“What percentage of your capital are you willing to risk per trade?”
While many traders focus on entries and indicators, position sizing and risk allocation are often overlooked.
This tool visualizes and simplifies the “1% risk rule” promoted by IBD (Investor’s Business Daily) and William J. O’Neil, helping both beginners and experienced traders maintain disciplined capital management.
Key Features
Automatically calculates and displays:
・ Position Size
The number of units (shares, contracts, coins) you can hold based on your stop-loss range and risk allowance.
・ Stop Price
The price level at which your stop-loss would be triggered.
・ Risk Amount
The maximum loss per trade based on your portfolio size and risk percentage.
Two stop-loss modes available:
・ Fixed % Mode
O’Neil suggests using up to 8% stop-loss in uptrends and keeping it tighter (around 4%) in corrections. This mode allows flexible manual settings.
・ ATR-Based Mode
Uses the asset’s average volatility to dynamically calculate stop-loss width using the Average True Range (ATR).
ATR Usage and Recommended Settings
ATR helps you avoid noise-based stop-outs and align your risk with market volatility.
There are two parameters you can adjust:
・ ATR Length
Defines how many bars are used to calculate the average range.
・Shorter values (5–10) respond faster for day trades
・Longer values (14–21) offer smoother ranges for swing/position trades(Default is 14)
・ATR Multiplier
Sets how wide the stop-loss is by multiplying the ATR value:
・Day trading: 1.0–1.5×
・Swing trading: 1.5–2.5×
・Position trading: 2.0–3.0×
Practical Examples: Risk % × Stop-Loss % → Max Positions
This tool helps estimate how many positions you can hold in a portfolio based on your risk per trade and stop width.
Examples:
・Risk 0.5%, Stop 8% → Max 16 positions
・Risk 0.5%, Stop 4% → Max 8 positions
・Risk 1.0%, Stop 8% → Max 8 positions
・Risk 1.0%, Stop 4% → Max 4 positions
・Risk 2.0%, Stop 8% → Max 4 positions
・Risk 2.0%, Stop 4% → Max 2 positions
These assume worst-case scenarios where all positions are stopped out simultaneously within your overall portfolio risk limit.
Display & Customization Options
・ Currency Display: USD or JPY
No currency conversion is applied. Select based on your trading region (e.g., USD for U.S. stocks, JPY for Japanese stocks).
Support for additional currencies can be added upon request.
・ Show/Hide Decimal Places
Toggle decimals for better visibility. Ideal for fractional assets like crypto and CFDs.
・ Position of Output
Choose from top-right, middle-right, or bottom-right on the chart.
・ Text Display Size: Large / Normal / Small
Choose the table size that best suits your viewing preferences.
・ Explanation of Displayed Labels
・ Position Size : Units to buy/sell based on risk
・ Stop Price : Price where stop-loss is triggered
・ Risk Amount : Max loss allowed for the trade
How to Use
１、Set your Portfolio Size
２、Choose your Currency (USD or JPY)
３、Input Risk per Trade (%) (e.g., 1%)
４、Select Stop Loss Method
・ Fixed % : Enter a manual stop-loss percent (e.g., 8%)
・ ATR : Then also enter:
・ ATR Length : Number of bars used to calculate ATR (e.g., 14)
・ ATR Multiplier : Factor applied to ATR to determine stop-loss (e.g., 2.0)
５、Adjust decimals, label position, or text size as needed
６、The result is displayed in a table directly on your chart
Notes
・ Uses the current close price (close) as the basis
Real-time bid/ask data isn't available in Pine Script, so the close price is used for consistent results.
・ No buy/sell signals are generated
This tool is for position sizing and risk calculation only, not trade entries.
Recommended For
・Traders who want precise, rule-based position sizing
・Users following IBD or O’Neil’s 1% risk principle
・Those incorporating ATR for stop-loss strategies
・Multi-asset traders (stocks, crypto, CFDs, etc.)
・ Anyone who wants to calculate position size and risk without using a calculator or external tool—fully inside TradingView

Big Whale Finder PROBig Whale Finder PRO
The Big Whale Finder PRO is an advanced technical indicator designed to detect and analyze the footprints of institutional traders (commonly referred to as "whales") in financial markets. Based on multiple proprietary detection algorithms, this indicator identifies distinct patterns of accumulation and distribution that typically occur when large market participants execute significant orders.
Theoretical Framework
The indicator builds upon established market microstructure theories and empirical research on institutional trading behavior. As Kyle (1985) demonstrated in his seminal work on market microstructure, informed traders with large positions tend to execute their orders strategically to minimize market impact. This often results in specific volume and price action patterns that the Big Whale Finder PRO is designed to detect.
Key Feature Enhancements
1. Volume Analysis Refinement
The indicator implements a dual-threshold approach to volume analysis based on research by Easley et al. (2012) on volume-based informed trading metrics. The normal threshold identifies routine institutional activity, while the extreme threshold flags exceptional events that often precede significant market moves.
2. Wickbody Ratio Analysis
Drawing from Cao et al. (2021) research on price formation and order flow imbalance, the indicator incorporates wick-to-body ratio analysis to detect potential order absorption and iceberg orders. High wick-to-body ratios often indicate hidden liquidity and resistance/support levels maintained by large players.
3. BWF-Index (Proprietary Metric)
The BWF-Index is a novel quantitative measure that combines volume anomalies, price stagnation, and candle morphology into a single metric. This approach draws from Harris's (2003) work on trading and exchanges, which suggests that institutional activity often manifests through multiple simultaneous market microstructure anomalies.
4. Zone Tracking System
Based on Wyckoff Accumulation/Distribution methodology and modern zone detection algorithms, the indicator establishes and tracks zones where institutional activity has occurred. This feature enables traders to identify potential support/resistance areas where large players have previously shown interest.
5. Trend Integration
Following Lo and MacKinlay's (1988) work on market efficiency and technical analysis, the indicator incorporates trend analysis through dual EMA comparison, providing context for volume and price patterns.
Labels and Signals Explanation
The indicator uses a system of labels to mark significant events on the chart:
🐋 (Whale Symbol): Indicates extreme volume activity that significantly exceeds normal market participation. This is often a sign of major institutional involvement and frequently precedes significant price moves. The presence of this label suggests heightened attention is warranted as a potential trend reversal or acceleration may be imminent.
A (Accumulation): Marks periods where large players are likely accumulating positions. This is characterized by high volume, minimal price movement upward, and stronger support at the lower end of the candle (larger lower wicks). Accumulation zones often form bases for future upward price movements. This pattern frequently occurs at the end of downtrends or during consolidation phases before uptrends.
D (Distribution): Identifies periods where large players are likely distributing (selling) their positions. This pattern shows high volume, minimal downward price movement, and stronger resistance at the upper end of the candle (larger upper wicks). Distribution zones often form tops before downward price movements. This pattern typically appears at the end of uptrends or during consolidation phases before downtrends.
ICE (Iceberg Order): Flags the potential presence of iceberg orders, where large orders are split into smaller visible portions to hide the true size. These are characterized by unusual wick-to-body ratios with high volume. Iceberg orders often indicate price levels that large institutions consider significant and may act as strong support or resistance areas.
Information Panel Interpretation
The information panel provides real-time analysis of market conditions:
Volume/Average Ratio: Shows how current volume compares to the historical average. Values above the threshold (default 1.5x) indicate abnormal activity that may signal institutional involvement.
BWF-Index: A proprietary metric that quantifies potential whale activity. Higher values (especially >10) indicate stronger likelihood of institutional participation. The BWF-Index combines volume anomalies, price action characteristics, and candle morphology to provide a single measure of potential whale activity.
Status: Displays the current market classification based on detected patterns:
"Major Whale Activity": Extreme volume detected, suggesting significant institutional involvement
"Accumulation": Potential buying activity by large players
"Distribution": Potential selling activity by large players
"High Volume": Above-average volume without clear accumulation/distribution patterns
"Normal": Regular market activity with no significant institutional footprints
Trend: Shows the current market trend based on EMA comparison:
"Uptrend": Fast EMA above Slow EMA, suggesting bullish momentum
"Downtrend": Fast EMA below Slow EMA, suggesting bearish momentum
"Sideways": EMAs very close together, suggesting consolidation
Zone: Indicates if the current price is in a previously identified institutional activity zone:
"In Buy Zone": Price is in an area where accumulation was previously detected
"In Sell Zone": Price is in an area where distribution was previously detected
"Neutral": Price is not in a previously identified institutional zone
Trading Recommendations
Based on the different signals and patterns, the following trading recommendations apply:
Bullish Scenarios
Accumulation (A) + Uptrend: Strong buy signal. Large players are accumulating in an established uptrend, suggesting potential continuation or acceleration.
Strategy: Consider entering long positions with stops below the accumulation zone.
Extreme Volume (🐋) + In Buy Zone + Price Above EMAs: Very bullish. Major whale activity in a previously established buying zone with positive price action.
Strategy: Aggressive buying opportunity with wider stops to accommodate volatility.
High BWF-Index (>10) + Accumulation + Downtrend Ending: Potential trend reversal signal. High institutional interest at the potential end of a downtrend.
Strategy: Early position building with tight risk management until trend confirmation.
Bearish Scenarios
Distribution (D) + Downtrend: Strong sell signal. Large players are distributing in an established downtrend, suggesting potential continuation or acceleration.
Strategy: Consider entering short positions with stops above the distribution zone.
Extreme Volume (🐋) + In Sell Zone + Price Below EMAs: Very bearish. Major whale activity in a previously established selling zone with negative price action.
Strategy: Aggressive shorting opportunity with wider stops to accommodate volatility.
High BWF-Index (>10) + Distribution + Uptrend Ending: Potential trend reversal signal. High institutional interest at the potential end of an uptrend.
Strategy: Early short position building with tight risk management until trend confirmation.
Neutral/Caution Scenarios
Iceberg Orders (ICE) + Sideways Market: Suggests significant hidden liquidity at current levels.
Strategy: Mark these levels as potential support/resistance for future reference. Consider range-trading strategies.
Conflicting Signals (e.g., Accumulation in Downtrend): Requires careful analysis.
Strategy: Wait for additional confirmation or reduce position sizing.
Multiple Extreme Volume Events (🐋) in Succession: Indicates unusual market conditions, possibly related to news events or major market shifts.
Strategy: Exercise extreme caution and potentially reduce exposure until clarity emerges.
Practical Applications
Short-Term Trading:
Use the indicator to identify institutional activity zones for potential intraday support/resistance levels
Watch for whale symbols (🐋) to anticipate potential volatility or trend changes
Combine with price action analysis for entry/exit timing
Swing Trading
Focus on accumulation/distribution patterns in conjunction with the prevailing trend
Use buy/sell zones as areas to establish or exit positions
Monitor the BWF-Index for increasing institutional interest over time
Position Trading
Track long-term whale activity to identify shifts in institutional positioning
Use multiple timeframe analysis to confirm major accumulation/distribution phases
Combine with fundamental analysis to validate potential long-term trend changes

C&B Auto MK5C&B Auto MK5.2ema BullBear
Overview
The C&B Auto MK5.2ema BullBear is a versatile Pine Script indicator designed to help traders identify bullish and bearish market conditions across various timeframes. It combines Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), Relative Strength Index (RSI), Average True Range (ATR), and customizable time filters to generate actionable signals. The indicator overlays on the price chart, displaying EMAs, a dynamic cloud, scaled RSI levels, bull/bear signals, and market condition labels, making it suitable for swing trading, day trading, or scalping in trending or volatile markets.
What It Does
This indicator generates bull and bear signals based on the interaction of two EMAs, filtered by RSI thresholds, ATR-based volatility, a 50/200 EMA trend filter, and user-defined time windows. It adapts to market volatility by adjusting EMA lengths and RSI thresholds. A dynamic cloud highlights trend direction or neutral zones, with candlestick coloring in neutral conditions. Market condition labels (current and historical) provide real-time trend and volatility context, displayed above the chart.
How It Works
The indicator uses the following components:
EMAs: Two EMAs (short and long) are calculated on a user-selected timeframe (1, 5, 15, 30, or 60 minutes). Their crossover or crossunder triggers potential bull/bear signals. EMA lengths adjust based on volatility (e.g., 10/20 for volatile markets, 5/10 for non-volatile).
Dynamic Cloud: The area between the EMAs forms a cloud, colored green for bullish trends, red for bearish trends, or a user-defined color (default yellow) for neutral zones (when EMAs are close, determined by an ATR-based threshold). Users can widen the cloud for visibility.
RSI Filter: RSI is scaled to price levels and plotted on the chart (optional). Signals are filtered to ensure RSI is within volatility-adjusted bull/bear thresholds and not in overbought/oversold zones.
ATR Volatility Filter: An optional filter ensures signals occur during sufficient volatility (ATR(14) > SMA(ATR, 20)).
50/200 EMA Trend Filter: An optional filter restricts bull signals to bullish trends (50 EMA > 200 EMA) and bear signals to bearish trends (50 EMA < 200 EMA).
Time Filter: Signals are restricted to a user-defined UTC time window (default 9:00–15:00), aligning with active trading sessions.
Market Condition Labels: Labels above the chart display the current trend (Bullish, Bearish, Neutral) and optionally volatility (e.g., “Bullish Volatile”). Up to two historical labels persist for a user-defined number of bars (default 5) to show recent trend changes.
Visual Aids: Bull signals appear as green triangles/labels below the bar, bear signals as red triangles/labels above. Candlesticks in neutral zones are colored (default yellow).
The indicator ensures compatibility with standard chart types (e.g., candlestick or bar charts) to produce realistic signals, avoiding non-standard types like Heikin Ashi or Renko.
How to Use It
Add to Chart: Apply the indicator to a candlestick or bar chart on TradingView.
Configure Settings:
Timeframe: Choose a timeframe (1, 5, 15, 30, or 60 minutes) to match your trading style.
Filters:
Enable/disable the ATR volatility filter to focus on high-volatility periods.
Enable/disable the 50/200 EMA trend filter to align signals with the broader trend.

RSI Display: Toggle the scaled RSI and its thresholds, with customizable colors.
Signal Settings: Toggle bull/bear labels and set signal colors.
Market Condition Labels: Toggle current/historical labels, include/exclude volatility, and adjust decay period.
Interpret Signals:
Bull Signal: A green triangle or “Bull” label below the bar indicates potential bullish momentum (EMA crossover, RSI above bull threshold, within time window, passing filters).
Bear Signal: A red triangle or “Bear” label above the bar indicates potential bearish momentum (EMA crossunder, RSI below bear threshold, within time window, passing filters).
Neutral Zone: Yellow candlesticks and cloud (if enabled) suggest a lack of clear trend; consider range-bound strategies or avoid trading.
Market Condition Labels: Check labels above the chart for real-time trend (Bullish, Bearish, Neutral) and volatility status to confirm market context.
Monitor Context: Use the cloud, RSI, and labels to assess trend strength and volatility before acting on signals.
Unique Features
Volatility-Adaptive EMAs: Automatically adjusts EMA lengths based on ATR to suit volatile or non-volatile markets, reducing manual configuration.
Neutral Zone Detection: Uses an ATR-based threshold to identify low-trend periods, helping traders avoid choppy markets.
Scaled RSI Visualization: Plots RSI and thresholds directly on the price chart, simplifying momentum analysis relative to price.
Flexible Time Filtering: Supports precise UTC-based trading windows, ideal for day traders targeting specific sessions.
Historical Market Labels: Displays recent trend changes (up to two) with a decay period, providing context for market shifts.
50/200 EMA Trend Filter: Aligns signals with the broader market trend, enhancing signal reliability.
Notes
Use on standard candlestick or bar charts to ensure accurate signals.
Test the indicator on a demo account to optimize settings for your market and timeframe.
Combine with other analysis (e.g., support/resistance, volume) for better decision-making.
The indicator is not a standalone system; use it as part of a broader trading strategy.
Limitations
Signals may lag in fast-moving markets due to EMA-based calculations.
Neutral zone detection may vary in extremely volatile or illiquid markets.

The AlphaTrend++ is an advanced Pine Script indicator designed to help traders identify buy and sell opportunities in trending and volatile markets. Building on trend-following principles, it uses a modified Average True Range (ATR) calculation combined with volume or momentum data to plot a dynamic trend line. The indicator overlays on the price chart, displaying a colored trend line, a filled trend zone, buy/sell signals, and optional stop-loss tick labels, making it ideal for day trading or swing trading, particularly in markets like futures (e.g., MES).
What It Does
This indicator generates buy and sell signals based on the direction and momentum of a custom trend line, filtered by optional time restrictions and signal frequency logic. The trend line adapts to price action and volatility, with a filled zone highlighting trend strength. Buy/sell signals are plotted as labels, and stop-loss distances are displayed in ticks (customizable for instruments like MES). The indicator supports standard chart types for realistic signal generation.
How It Works
The indicator employs the following components:
Trend Line Calculation: A dynamic trend line is calculated using ATR adjusted by a user-defined multiplier, combined with either Money Flow Index (MFI) or Relative Strength Index (RSI) depending on volume availability. The line tracks price movements, adjusting upward or downward based on trend direction and volatility.
Trend Zone: The area between the current trend line and its value two bars prior is filled, colored green for bullish trends (upward movement) or red for bearish trends (downward movement), providing a visual cue of trend strength.
Signal Generation: Buy signals occur when the trend line crosses above its value two bars ago, and sell signals occur when it crosses below, with optional filtering to reduce signal noise (based on bar timing logic). Signals can be restricted to a 9:00–15:00 UTC trading window.
Stop-Loss Ticks: For each signal, the indicator calculates the distance to the trend line (acting as a stop-loss level) in ticks, using a user-defined tick size (default 0.25 for MES). These are displayed as labels below/above the signal.
Time Filter: An optional filter limits signals to 9:00–15:00 UTC, aligning with active trading sessions like the US market open.
The indicator ensures compatibility with standard chart types (e.g., candlestick or bar charts) to avoid unrealistic results associated with non-standard types like Heikin Ashi or Renko.
How to Use It
Add to Chart: Apply the indicator to a candlestick or bar chart on TradingView.
Configure Settings:
Multiplier: Adjust the ATR multiplier (default 1.0) to control trend line sensitivity. Higher values widen the stop-loss distance.
Common Period: Set the ATR and MFI/RSI period (default 14) for trend calculations.
No Volume Data: Enable if volume data is unavailable (e.g., for certain forex pairs), switching from MFI to RSI.
Tick Size: Set the tick size for stop-loss calculations (default 0.25 for MES futures).
Show Buy/Sell Signals: Toggle signal labels (default enabled).
Show Stop Loss Ticks: Toggle stop-loss tick labels (default enabled).
Use Time Filter: Restrict signals to 9:00–15:00 UTC (default disabled).
Use Filtered Signals: Enable to reduce signal frequency using bar timing logic (default enabled).
Interpret Signals:
Buy Signal: A blue “BUY” label below the bar indicates a potential long entry (trend line crossover, passing filters).
Sell Signal: A red “SELL” label above the bar indicates a potential short entry (trend line crossunder, passing filters).
Trend Zone: Green fill suggests bullish momentum; red fill suggests bearish momentum.
Stop-Loss Ticks: Gray labels show the stop-loss distance in ticks, helping with risk management.
Monitor Context: Use the trend line and filled zone to confirm the market’s direction before acting on signals.
Unique Features
Adaptive Trend Line: Combines ATR with MFI or RSI to create a responsive trend line that adjusts to volatility and market conditions.
Tick-Based Stop-Loss: Displays stop-loss distances in ticks, customizable for specific instruments, aiding precise risk management.
Signal Filtering: Optional bar timing logic reduces false signals, improving reliability in choppy markets.
Trend Zone Visualization: The filled zone between trend line values enhances trend clarity, making it easier to assess momentum.
Time-Restricted Trading: Optional 9:00–15:00 UTC filter aligns signals with high-liquidity sessions.
Notes
Use on standard candlestick or bar charts to ensure accurate signals.
Test the indicator on a demo account to optimize settings for your market and timeframe.
Combine with other analysis (e.g., support/resistance, volume spikes) for better decision-making.
The indicator is not a standalone system; use it as part of a broader trading strategy.
Limitations
Signals may lag in highly volatile or low-liquidity markets due to ATR-based calculations.
The 9:00–15:00 UTC time filter may not suit all markets; disable it for 24-hour assets like forex or crypto.
Stop-loss tick calculations assume consistent tick sizes; verify compatibility with your instrument.

Overview
PowerHouse SwiftEdge AI v2.10 is an advanced TradingView Pine Script indicator designed to identify high-probability trading setups by combining pivot-based structure analysis, multi-timeframe trend detection, and adaptive AI-driven signal filtering. The script integrates Change of Character (CHoCH) and Break of Structure (BOS) signals with customizable momentum, volume, breakout, and trend filters to enhance trade precision. Additionally, it offers an optional AI Market Analysis module that predicts future price trends across multiple timeframes, providing traders with a comprehensive market outlook.
The script is highly customizable, allowing users to tailor inputs to their trading style, whether for scalping, swing trading, or long-term strategies. It is suitable for all asset classes, including stocks, forex, crypto, and commodities, and performs optimally on timeframes ranging from 1-minute to daily charts.
Key Features
Pivot-Based Signal Generation:
Identifies pivot highs and lows to detect CHoCH (reversal patterns) and BOS (continuation patterns).
Signals are plotted as "Buy" or "Sell" labels with optional "Get Ready" pre-signals to prepare traders for potential setups.
Take-profit (TP) levels are automatically calculated based on user-defined points, with optional TP box visualization.
Multi-Timeframe Trend Analysis:
Analyzes trends across seven timeframes (1M, 5M, 15M, 30M, 1H, 4H, D) using EMA and VWAP to determine bullish, bearish, or neutral conditions.
Displays a futuristic AI-Trend Matrix dashboard showing trend direction, strength, and confidence levels for quick decision-making.
Customizable Signal Filters:
Momentum Filter: Ensures signals align with significant price changes, adjusted dynamically using ATR-based volatility.
Higher Timeframe Trend Filter: Requires signals to align with the trend of a user-selected higher timeframe (e.g., 1H).
Lower Timeframe Trend Filter: Prevents signals that conflict with the trend of a user-selected lower timeframe (e.g., 5M).
Volume Filter: Optionally requires above-average volume to confirm signals.
Breakout Filter: Optionally requires price to break previous highs/lows for signal validation.
Repeated Signal Restriction: Prevents consecutive signals in the same trend direction until the trend changes on a user-defined timeframe.
AI-Driven Adaptivity:
Incorporates Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) to assess buying/selling pressure and classify market volatility (Low, Medium, High).
Uses ATR to dynamically adjust momentum thresholds, ensuring signals adapt to current market conditions.
Optional AI Market Analysis module predicts trends across multiple timeframes by combining trend, momentum, and volatility scores.
Visual Elements:
Plots CHoCH and BOS levels as horizontal lines with distinct colors (aqua for CHoCH sell, lime for CHoCH buy, fuchsia for BOS sell, teal for BOS buy).
Draws dynamic support and resistance trendlines based on short and long-term price action, colored by trend strength.
Displays TP levels and pivot highs/lows for easy reference.
How It Works
The script combines several technical analysis concepts to create a robust trading system:
Market Structure Analysis:
Pivot highs and lows are identified using a user-defined lookback period (Pivot Length).
CHoCH occurs when price crosses below a pivot high (bearish reversal) or above a pivot low (bullish reversal).
BOS occurs when price breaks a previous pivot low (bearish continuation) or pivot high (bullish continuation).
Trend and Momentum Integration:
Trends are determined by comparing price to EMA and VWAP on multiple timeframes.
Momentum is calculated as the percentage price change, with thresholds adjusted by ATR to account for volatility.
"Get Ready" signals appear when momentum approaches the threshold, preparing traders for potential CHoCH or BOS signals.
Signal Filtering:
Filters ensure signals align with user-defined criteria (e.g., trend direction, volume, breakouts).
The Restrict Repeated Signals option prevents over-signaling by requiring a trend change on a specified timeframe before generating a new signal in the same direction.
AI Market Analysis:
The optional AI module calculates a score for each timeframe based on trend direction, momentum, and volatility (ATR compared to its SMA).
Scores are translated into predictions (▲ for bullish, ▼ for bearish, — for neutral), displayed in a dedicated table.
CVD and Volatility Context:
CVD tracks buying vs. selling pressure by accumulating volume based on price direction.
Volatility is classified using CVD magnitude, influencing the script’s visual cues and signal sensitivity.
Why This Combination?
The integration of pivot-based structure analysis, multi-timeframe trend filtering, and AI-driven adaptivity addresses common trading challenges:
Precision: CHoCH and BOS signals focus on key market turning points, reducing noise from minor price fluctuations.
Context: Multi-timeframe analysis ensures trades align with broader market trends, improving win rates.
Adaptivity: ATR and CVD adjustments make the script responsive to changing market conditions, avoiding static thresholds that fail in volatile or quiet markets.
Customization: Extensive input options allow traders to adapt the script to their preferred markets, timeframes, and risk profiles.

Williams Fractals Dynamic Horizontal LinesWilliams Fractals with Dynamic Horizontal Lines
Overview
This script identifies Williams Fractals (support and resistance points) on any chart and automatically draws horizontal lines at those fractal levels.
The lines extend right and disappear when price breaks them — giving a clean and real-time view of key support and resistance levels.
Features
Detects upward fractals (potential resistances).
Detects downward fractals (potential supports).
Draws horizontal lines at each fractal point.
Automatically deletes a line when:
Price closes above a resistance.
Price closes below a support.
Clean and lightweight — minimal performance impact.
Inputs
Setting Description Default
Periods (n) Number of candles on each side required to confirm a fractal (minimum 2). 2
How It Works
Fractal Detection:
An up fractal is confirmed when a candle has the highest high compared to its neighbors.
A down fractal is confirmed when a candle has the lowest low compared to its neighbors.
Custom logic supports different "ties" — not just strict greater-than or less-than comparisons.
Drawing Lines:
When an up fractal is detected → a red horizontal resistance line is drawn.
When a down fractal is detected → a green horizontal support line is drawn.
Lines are drawn starting at the fractal candle and extend right across the chart.
Dynamic Line Deletion:
Every new candle is checked:
If high > resistance line → delete that resistance line.
If low < support line → delete that support line.
Only unbroken lines are kept on the chart, providing live, updated support/resistance zones.
Visual Elements
Up Fractal: 🡅 Triangular marker (teal color) above the fractal candle.
Down Fractal: 🡇 Triangular marker (red color) below the fractal candle.
Resistance Line: Red horizontal line.
Support Line: Green horizontal line.
Technical Details
Version: Pine Script v6
Arrays Used:
To store and manage active lines (line arrays).
To track the price associated with each line (float arrays).
Error Handling:
Backward iteration is handled using a while loop instead of a for loop to comply with Pine Script restrictions.
Offset Handling:
Fractal markers are plotted with an offset of -n bars for visual alignment.
Possible Enhancements (Future Ideas)
Sensitivity Settings: Allow a small margin (buffer) to define breakouts.
Extend Options: Let users choose between extending "infinite" or "limited" bars.
Custom Alerts: Generate alerts when fractal levels are broken.
Multi-timeframe Support: Detect fractals from higher timeframes on lower timeframe charts.
Example Usage
Swing Trading:
Use the fractal lines to identify and react to key breakouts or breakdowns dynamically.
Intraday Trading:
Spot live support/resistance on smaller timeframes for quick trades.
Trend Reversal Spotting:
Notice when a major fractal level is broken, possibly indicating trend changes.

ICT Swiftedge# ICT SwiftEdge: Advanced Market Structure Trading System
**Overview**
ICT SwiftEdge is a powerful trading system built upon the foundation of ICTProTools' ICT Breakers, licensed under the Mozilla Public License 2.0 (mozilla.org). This script has been significantly enhanced by to combine market structure analysis with modern technical indicators and a sleek, AI-inspired statistics dashboard. The goal is to provide traders with a comprehensive tool for identifying high-probability trade setups, managing exits, and tracking performance in a visually intuitive way.
**Credits**
This script is a derivative work based on the original "ICT Breakers" by ICTProTools, used with permission under the Mozilla Public License 2.0. Significant enhancements, including RSI-MA signals, trend filtering, dynamic timeframe adjustments, dual exit strategies, and an AI-style statistics dashboard, were developed by . We express our gratitude to ICTProTools for their foundational work in market structure analysis.
**What It Does**
ICT SwiftEdge integrates multiple trading concepts to help traders identify and manage trades based on market structure and momentum:
- **Market Structure Analysis**: Identifies Break of Structure (BOS) and Market Structure Shift (MSS) patterns, which signal potential trend continuations or reversals. BOS indicates a continuation of the current trend, while MSS highlights a shift in market direction, providing key entry points.
- **RSI-MA Signals**: Generates "BUY" and "SELL" signals when BOS or MSS patterns align with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) smoothed by a Moving Average (RSI-MA). Signals are filtered to occur only when RSI-MA is above 50 (for buys) or below 50 (for sells), ensuring momentum supports the trade direction.
- **Trend Filtering**: Prevents multiple signals in the same trend, ensuring only one buy or sell signal per trend direction, reducing noise and improving trade clarity.
- **Dynamic Timeframe Adjustment**: Automatically adjusts pivot points, RSI, and MA parameters based on the selected chart timeframe (1M to 1D), optimizing performance across different market conditions.
- **Flexible Exit Strategies**: Offers two user-selectable exit methods:
- **Trailing Stop-Loss (TSL)**: Exits trades when price moves against the position by a user-defined distance (in points), locking in profits or limiting losses.
- **RSI-MA Exit**: Exits trades when RSI-MA crosses the 50 level, signaling a potential loss of momentum.
- Users can enable either or both strategies, providing flexibility to adapt to different trading styles.
- **AI-Style Statistics Dashboard**: Displays real-time trade performance metrics in a futuristic, neon-colored interface, including total trades, wins, losses, win/loss ratio, and win percentage. This helps traders evaluate the system's effectiveness without external tools.
**Why This Combination?**
The integration of these components creates a synergistic trading system:
- **BOS/MSS and RSI-MA**: Combining market structure breaks with RSI-MA ensures entries are based on both price action (structure) and momentum (RSI-MA), increasing the likelihood of high-probability trades.
- **Trend Filtering**: By limiting signals to one per trend, the system avoids overtrading and focuses on significant market moves.
- **Dynamic Adjustments**: Timeframe-specific parameters make the system versatile, suitable for scalping (1M, 5M) or swing trading (4H, 1D).
- **Dual Exit Strategies**: TSL protects profits during trending markets, while RSI-MA exits are ideal for range-bound or reversing markets, catering to diverse market conditions.
- **Statistics Dashboard**: Provides immediate feedback on trade performance, enabling data-driven decision-making without manual tracking.
This combination balances technical precision with user-friendly visuals, making it accessible to both novice and experienced traders.
**How to Use**
1. **Add to Chart**: Apply the script to any TradingView chart.
2. **Configure Settings**:
- **Chart Timeframe**: Select your chart's timeframe (1M to 1D) to optimize parameters.
- **Structure Timeframe**: Choose a timeframe for market structure analysis (leave blank for chart timeframe).
- **Exit Strategy**: Enable Trailing Stop-Loss (`useTslExit`), RSI-MA Exit (`useRsiMaExit`), or both. Adjust `tslPoints` for TSL distance.
- **Show Signals/Labels**: Toggle `showSignals` and `showExit` to display "BUY", "SELL", and "EXIT" labels.
- **Dashboard**: Enable `showDashboard` to view trade statistics. Customize colors with `dashboardBgColor` and `dashboardTextColor`.
3. **Trading**:
- Look for "BUY" or "SELL" labels to enter trades when BOS/MSS aligns with RSI-MA.
- Exit trades at "EXIT" labels based on your chosen strategy.
- Monitor the statistics dashboard to track performance (total trades, win/loss ratio, win percentage).
4. **Alerts**: Set up alerts for BOS, MSS, buy, sell, or exit signals using the provided alert conditions.

ENIGMA 369 ENIGMA 369 is a unique Pine Script indicator that combines two complementary trading systems: Break of Structure (BOS) Detection and Session-Based Sniper Signals.
Designed to help traders identify market structure shifts and potential intraday setups, it overlays on the chart to highlight key levels and momentum-driven opportunities. The indicator’s originality lies in its integration of pattern-based BOS analysis (inspired by Smart Money concepts) with time- and trend-filtered Sniper signals, creating a cohesive tool for both swing and intraday trading.
Unlike standalone breakout or scalping indicators, ENIGMA 369 uses:
BOS Logic: A specific two-candle pattern sequence to detect structural shifts, filtered by ATR for significance.
Sniper Logic: Momentum-based signals during high-volatility sessions, optionally aligned with EMA trends.
This synergy allows traders to assess market direction strategically (via BOS) and time entries tactically (via Sniper), all within one indicator.
What It Does
ENIGMA 369 performs two distinct functions:
Break of Structure (BOS) Detection:
Identifies potential support/resistance levels using BullBear (bullish candle followed by bearish) and BearBull (bearish followed by bullish) candle pairs.
Confirms breakouts when price sustains above (bullish) or below (bearish) these levels for a set number of bars.
Draws horizontal lines at confirmed breakout levels, which persist until price crosses a user-defined buffer zone.
Sniper Momentum Signals:
Detects buy/sell setups during user-specified trading sessions (e.g., London/US), based on candle momentum (close relative to midpoint, higher highs/lower lows).
Optionally filters signals with an EMA to align with the broader trend.
Plots lines at the candle’s high/low and 50% wick levels, serving as reference points for entries or stops, removed when price crosses them.
How It Works
ENIGMA 369 relies on price action, market timing, and trend context to generate signals. Here’s how each component operates:
BOS Logic:
Pattern Detection: Scans for two-candle patterns where the first candle is significant (size exceeds an ATR-based threshold) and the second opposes it. For example, a BullBear pair marks the first candle’s high as a potential resistance.
ATR Filter: Uses the Average True Range (default: 14 periods) to ensure the first candle’s range or body is substantial, reducing noise. Users can adjust the ATR multiplier (default: 0.5).
Confirmation: Requires price to close above/below the stored level for a user-defined number of bars (default: 1) to confirm a breakout.
Line Management: Plots green (bullish) or red (bearish) lines at confirmed levels, extending for a set number of bars (default: 10). Lines are deleted if price crosses a buffer (percentage of price or ATR-based, default: 0.1).
Visualization: Optionally highlights pattern candles with transparent green/red backgrounds.
Sniper Logic:
Momentum Signals: Identifies buy signals when a candle closes above its midpoint (high+low)/2 and has a lower low than the prior candle, indicating potential bullish momentum. Sell signals require a close below the midpoint and a higher high.
Session Filter: Limits signals to user-defined London/US session hours (default: 1-23 UTC, adjustable to specific hours like 7-11 UTC for London).
EMA Filter: Optionally uses a 50-period EMA (adjustable) to ensure buy signals occur in uptrends (rising EMA) and sell signals in downtrends (falling EMA).
Line Plotting: Draws blue lines for buy signals (at the low and 50% of the lower wick) and orange lines for sell signals (at the high and 50% of the upper wick). Lines extend right until price crosses them, managed via arrays for efficiency.
Dynamic Removal: Lines are automatically deleted when price breaches them, reflecting changing market conditions.
Why Combine BOS and Sniper?
The integration of BOS and Sniper logic is purposeful and synergistic:
BOS provides a strategic view by identifying structural shifts, helping traders understand the market’s directional bias (e.g., bullish after a confirmed high breakout).
Sniper offers tactical entry points within these trends, focusing on high-volatility sessions where momentum is likely to drive clear moves.
Together, they enable traders to align short-term trades with long-term structure, reducing the risk of trading against the trend. For example, a trader can wait for a bullish BOS confirmation before taking Sniper buy signals, enhancing setup reliability.
This combination is original because it merges Smart Money-inspired BOS detection with a session-based momentum system, a pairing not commonly found in single indicators. It avoids redundant mashups by ensuring each component serves a distinct yet complementary role.
How to Use It
Setup:
Apply ENIGMA 369 to a TradingView chart (Pine Script v5). The chart shown here uses a clean H1 candlestick setup to highlight BOS and Sniper outputs clearly.
Customize settings:
BOS:
ATR Period (default: 14), Min Candle Size (default: 0.5x ATR): Adjust for pattern sensitivity.
Confirmation Bars (default: 1): Set for faster/slower breakouts.
Buffer Type (Percentage/ATR), Buffer Zone Value (default: 0.1): Control line deletion.
Show Lines (default: true), Highlight Candle Pairs (default: false): Enable visuals.
Customize line colors (green/red) and width/length.
Sniper:
London/US Start/End Hours: Set to match your asset’s volatility (e.g., 7-11 UTC for London forex).
EMA Filter (default: true), EMA Period (default: 50): Enable for trend alignment.
Customize line styles (Solid/Dotted/Dashed) and colors (blue/orange) to distinguish from BOS.
Suggested timeframes: H1-H4 for BOS (swing trading), M5-M15 for Sniper (intraday).
Trading with BOS:
Monitor for green (bullish) or red (bearish) lines indicating confirmed breakouts.
Use lines as support/resistance:
Bullish BOS: Consider longs above the line, with stops below the line or buffer.
Bearish BOS: Consider shorts below the line, with stops above the line or buffer.
Line deletion signals a potential reversal or level invalidation.
Trading with Sniper:
Look for blue (buy) or orange (sell) lines during active sessions:
Buy: Enter long at the low or 50% wick line, with stops below the low and targets at resistance.
Sell: Enter short at the high or 50% wick line, with stops above the high and targets at support.
Use EMA filter to avoid counter-trend signals.
Lines disappear when crossed, indicating the setup’s completion or invalidation.
Alerts:
Set alerts for:
“Bullish/Bearish BOS Confirmed” for structural shifts.
“Sniper Buy/Sell Alert” for intraday setups.
Combine with volume, key levels, or news for confirmation.
Best Practices:
Use BOS to confirm trend direction before taking Sniper signals.
Test settings on your asset/timeframe via backtesting.
Apply stop-losses and risk-reward ratios (e.g., 1:2) for discipline.
The chart example shows BOS lines (green/red) and Sniper lines (blue/orange) on an H1 chart, ensuring clarity.
Underlying Concepts
Market Structure (BOS): Identifies turning points where supply/demand shifts, using two-candle patterns to mark significant levels, similar to order block concepts.
Momentum and Timing (Sniper): Targets entries during high-liquidity sessions, using candle midpoint and wick analysis to capture momentum-driven moves.
Trend Context: EMA ensures signals align with the market’s direction, reducing false positives.
Price Action: Both systems rely on raw price behavior, avoiding lagging oscillators for timely signals.
Limitations
BOS may lag in fast markets; reduce confirmation bars for scalping.
Sniper signals depend on session settings; ensure alignment with your asset’s volatility.
Multiple lines may clutter charts; adjust colors/styles for clarity.
Not a standalone system; combine with other analysis for best results.
