EMA Slope - RSI Indicator# EMA Slope - RSI Indicator
## Script Description (for Publishing Page)
**EMA Slope - RSI Indicator** combines normalized EMA slope momentum analysis with RSI divergence detection and momentum comparison to create a visual signal indicator with five distinct signal types. The indicator's originality lies in its unique "No Trade Zone" (NTZ) concept applied to slope momentum, combined with centered RSI format for direct comparison, and multiple complementary signal methods that work together to identify both trend-following and reversal opportunities across different market conditions.
**Core Concept - EMA Slope Normalization:** Calculates rate of change of long MA (default 160 EMA) by comparing current value to N bars ago (default 3 bars). Raw slope difference normalized to -100 to +100 scale using 500-bar rolling range: normalizedSlope = 100 * (longMA - longMA ) / (highest(maDF, 500) - lowest(maDF, 500)). Creates consistent momentum oscillator comparable across price levels and timeframes.
**No Trade Zone (NTZ) Logic:** NTZ (±8 default) creates neutral zone where slope momentum is too weak for reliable signals. Indicator only triggers NTZ Cross signals when slope crosses out of threshold zone, ensuring signals occur only when momentum is sufficiently strong.
**Centered RSI Format (RSI-50):** Traditional RSI (0-100 range) difficult to compare with slope. This indicator uses centered RSI = (RSI - 50), creating -50 to +50 range zero-centered on same scale as normalized slope. Enables direct visual and mathematical comparison between RSI and slope momentum, enabling Slope-RSI exhaustion detection and RSI-Slope Oscillator signals.
**Component Integration:** Five signal types target different market conditions. NTZ Cross and Acceleration target trend-following when momentum strong. RSI Divergence and Slope-RSI Divergence target reversals when price/momentum diverge. RSI-Slope Oscillator targets momentum alignment when RSI and slope converge. Multi-method approach provides signals across trending, reversing, and ranging markets.
### 📊 Technical Calculations
**Slope Normalization:** maDF = longMA - longMA , normalized: maDf = 100 * maDF / (highest(maDF, 500) - lowest(maDF, 500)), ranges -100 to +100.
**Acceleration Detection:** maAcce = abs(maDf - maDf ) * smoothBars * 2, normalized: maAcc = 50 * maAcce / highest(maAcce, 200). Values above threshold (35 display, 40 signals) indicate sudden momentum shifts. Visualized as colored circles: cyan (bullish), red (bearish).
**RSI Calculation:** rsi = sma(rsi(source, length), smoothing), centered: cRsi = rsi - 50 (ranges -50 to +50). Smoothed using SMA (default 3 bars) to reduce noise.
**RSI Divergence:** Uses pivot high/low detection on smoothed RSI. Pivot lookback = 16 - sensitivityInput (inverse: sensitivity 6 = 10-bar lookback, sensitivity 10 = 6-bar lookback). Compares price pivots (actual high/low including wicks) against RSI pivots. Bullish: priceLowerLow AND rsiHigherLow. Bearish: priceHigherHigh AND rsiLowerHigh. Stores multiple previous pivots (default 8 max) for comparison.
**Slope-RSI Exhaustion:** Compares normalized slope against centered RSI on same scale. Bearish: slope accelerating up (delta > 0, slope > NTZ) BUT RSI declining (cRsi < cRsi AND cRsi < cRsi ). Bullish: slope accelerating down (delta < 0, slope < -NTZ) BUT RSI rising. Gap threshold (default 10.0 points) filters noise. Visualized with dashed lines and gap labels.
**RSI-Slope Oscillator:** State machine tracks cross events (rsiSlopeCrossUp = cRsi > maDf AND cRsi <= maDf ), waits for confirmation: both RSI and slope heading same direction. Long: RSI crosses above slope AND both heading UP. Short: RSI crosses below slope AND both heading DOWN. Useful for range-bound markets.
**Stretch Filter:** maPercentDiff = (longMA - shortMA) / shortMA * 100. Blocks long signals if longMA > shortMA by threshold (overextended up). Blocks short signals if shortMA > longMA by threshold (overextended down). Default 0.45% prevents signals when MAs too far apart.
**Delta Calculation:** Measures change in normalized slope between bars. Timeframe mode: compares current confirmed slope with previous confirmed (more reliable, slight delay). Standard mode: compares current with previous bar (faster, may use unconfirmed). Minimum threshold (default 3.4) filters weak momentum changes.
**Trailing Stop (Blackflag FTS Swingarm):** Uses Wilder's MA of true range. Modified mode: trueRange = max(HiLo, HRef, LRef) with enhanced gap handling. Unmodified: standard true range. Trailing stop calculated based on ATR factor and price trend direction. Separate settings for divergence signals (wider stops, grace periods).
### 🚀 Signal Types and Conditions
**1. NTZ Cross Signals:** Long: Slope crosses above +NTZ (default +8) AND positive delta ≥ threshold (default 3.4) AND stretch filter allows AND optional trend confirmation (short MA > long MA). Short: Slope crosses below -NTZ AND negative delta ≥ threshold AND filters allow. Exit: Slope re-enters NTZ OR reverses direction for confirmation bars OR trailing stop.
**2. Acceleration Signals:** Long: Acceleration ≥ threshold (default 40) AND slope above NTZ AND positive delta sufficient AND filters allow. Short: Acceleration ≥ threshold AND slope below -NTZ AND negative delta sufficient AND filters allow. Visual: Colored circles (cyan bullish, red bearish). Works independently to catch sudden momentum bursts.
**3. RSI Divergence Signals:** Bullish: Price lower low while smoothed RSI higher low, detected via pivot comparison (default up to 8 pivots). Bearish: Price higher high while RSI lower high. Optional Slope-RSI confirmation. Visual: Purple lines (bearish), lime lines (bullish). Exit: Divergence-specific trailing stop (wider ATR, grace period).
**4. Slope-RSI Divergence Signals:** Bullish: Slope accelerating down (negative delta, slope < -NTZ) BUT RSI rising over lookback AND gap exceeds threshold (default 10.0 points). Bearish: Slope accelerating up (positive delta, slope > NTZ) BUT RSI declining AND gap exceeds threshold. Visual: Orange triangles (bullish exhaustion), yellow triangles (bearish exhaustion) with dashed lines. Exit: Divergence-specific trailing stop.
**5. RSI-Slope Oscillator Signals:** Long: RSI crosses above slope AND both heading upward. Short: RSI crosses below slope AND both heading downward. State machine tracks cross then confirms direction. Exit: Opposite oscillator condition (allows reversal) OR trailing stop after grace period.

Smart Candlestick Pattern Filter [MarkitTick]💡 This Script is a sophisticated technical analysis tool designed to identify, grade, and display over 40 distinct candlestick formations based on a proprietary strength and context filtering system. Unlike standard pattern finders that often clutter charts with conflicting signals, this script utilizes a hierarchy logic to display only the most significant pattern detected on any given candle, ensuring chart clarity and actionable data.
● Originality and Utility
The primary utility of this script lies in its filtering engine. Standard indicators often flag every minor Doji or Spinning Top, creating noise. This indicator categorizes patterns into five distinct levels of strength, ranging from simple indecision to very strong reversal or continuation signals.
Furthermore, it incorporates a Trend Context filter, which checks the relationship between price and a Simple Moving Average (SMA). This ensures that reversal patterns (like Hammers) are prioritized during downtrends, while continuation patterns are highlighted during established moves, reducing false positives.
● Methodology
The indicator evaluates price action using specific ratios between the Open, High, Low, and Close, alongside the body size relative to the total range. It assigns a strength score to each detected pattern.
• Pattern Strength Grading
Strength 1 (Indecision): Includes patterns like Doji, Spinning Tops, Dragonfly, and Gravestone Dojis. These signal a pause in momentum.
Strength 2 (Weak): Includes patterns like Hanging Man, Inverted Hammer, Belt Holds, and In-Neck lines. These suggest potential movement but often require confirmation.
Strength 3 (Moderate): Includes classic reversals like Hammers, Shooting Stars, Haramis, Dark Cloud Cover, and Piercing Lines.
Strength 4 (Strong): Includes major signals like Engulfing patterns, Morning/Evening Stars, and Marubozu candles.
Strength 5 (Very Strong): Reserved for rare, high-probability multi-candle formations like Three White Soldiers, Three Black Crows, Rising/Falling Three Methods, and Breakaway gaps.
The script calculates all potential patterns for the current bar and then compares their strength scores. Only the pattern with the highest strength is displayed. If the Show Trend Context option is enabled, the script further validates the pattern against the current market direction (determined by the SMA and slope) before plotting.
● How to Use
Traders can use this tool to identify potential entry and exit points based on the strength of the signal.
• Visual Signals
Patterns are labeled directly on the chart:
Green Labels/Text: Indicate Bullish patterns.
Red Labels/Text: Indicate Bearish patterns.
Gray/White Labels: Indicate Indecision or Weak patterns.
Hovering over any label provides the full name of the pattern and its strength rating (e.g., "Bullish Engulfing - Strength: Strong").
• Trading Logic
High Strength Signals (Levels 4-5): These can be used as primary triggers for trend reversals or strong continuations.
Moderate Signals (Level 3): Useful for adding confluence to existing analysis or anticipating a setup.
Indecision (Level 1): Often useful for taking profits or tightening stop-losses, as they indicate the current trend may be stalling.
● Settings
Show Only Strong Patterns: When enabled, filters out Strength 1, 2, and 3, showing only the most significant signals (Strength >= 4).
Max Patterns to Display: Limits the number of historical labels to prevent chart clutter.
Max Candles to Check Engulfing: Adjusts how far back the script looks to validate the size of an engulfing candle.
Trend Detection Period: Sets the length of the SMA used to determine the background trend context.
Show Only Trend-Appropriate Patterns: If checked, bullish reversals are only shown in downtrends, and bearish reversals in uptrends.

FX Master Confluence v39 (Restored MAs) TDDHow to read your new Dashboard:
Top Row (The Boss): This is your 8-Hour WaveTrend status.
DARK GREEN: Strong Bull (Bias is Up & Above Zero). Aggressively look for buys.
LIGHT GREEN: Weak Bull (Bias is Up but Below Zero). Be cautious, could be a deep pullback.
DARK RED: Strong Bear (Bias is Down & Below Zero). Aggressively look for sells.
LTF Rows (15m - 6h):
"GOLDEN ZERO": This is the Holy Grail signal you asked for. The LTF WaveTrend just crossed the Zero line in agreement with the 8H Boss.
"REV SETUP": Standard reversal signal (useful, but lower confidence than Golden).
"TREND UP/DOWN": No signal right now, but tells you the flow of that specific timeframe.
Now you have a "Traffic Light" system. If the Top Row is RED, you ignore everything until you see a RED "GOLDEN ZERO" on your 15m or 1H chart.
4H Candle Curves4H Candle Curves - Detailed User Guide
OVERVIEW
This indicator reveals curve vs continuation behavior in NQ Futures by analyzing how price responds after breaking the first-hour range. Based on 10+ years of statistical analysis (2013-2025, 3,136+ trading days), it identifies which 4-hour sessions exhibit mean reversion (curve) behavior versus trend continuation when Q2 (second hour) breaks Q1 (first hour) extremes.
⚠️ IMPORTANT: This indicator is specifically designed for NQ FUTURES ONLY. All curve probabilities and statistics were derived from a decade-long dataset of NQ 1-minute bars. Using this on other instruments will produce inaccurate results.
CORE CONCEPT: THE CURVE
What is a "Curve"?
A curve occurs when price breaks out of the first hour's range in Q2 (hour 2), but then reverses direction in the second half (Q3+Q4) to make a new extreme on the opposite side.
Curve Example (Upside Break → Downside Reversal):
Q1 (Hour 1): Price establishes range 25,000 - 25,050
Q2 (Hour 2): Price breaks ABOVE Q1 high, reaches 25,100
Q3+Q4 (Hours 3-4): Price curves back down, makes new LOW below 25,000
Result: Q2 broke high, but second half curved back to make new low below Q1 = CURVE
What is "Continuation"?
Continuation occurs when Q2 breaks Q1 range and the second half extends further in the same direction.
Continuation Example (Upside Break → Further Upside):
Q1 (Hour 1): Price establishes range 25,000 - 25,050
Q2 (Hour 2): Price breaks ABOVE Q1 high, reaches 25,100
Q3+Q4 (Hours 3-4): Price continues higher, makes new HIGH above 25,100
Result: Q2 broke high, second half made new high above Q2 = CONTINUATION
THE CRITICAL DISCOVERY: 6AM IS THE CURVE SESSION
Curve Probabilities by Session:
When Q2 Breaks Q1 HIGH:
6AM: 60.6% curve (new low below Q1) | 38.5% continuation
2AM: 38.4% curve | 46.7% continuation (balanced)
10AM: 17.2% curve | 60.4% continuation ← STRONG continuation bias
6PM: 29.6% curve | 59.0% continuation
10PM: 27.5% curve | 55.1% continuation
When Q2 Breaks Q1 LOW:
6AM: 64.4% curve (new high above Q1) | 35.0% continuation ← HIGHEST curve
2AM: 42.8% curve | 43.3% continuation (balanced)
10AM: 16.7% curve | 51.6% continuation ← STRONG continuation bias
6PM: 33.7% curve | 51.1% continuation
10PM: 33.1% curve | 48.6% continuation
Key Insight:
6AM is THE ONLY SESSION with >60% curve probability in both directions. This makes it a uniquely exploitable mean reversion session. When Q2 breaks Q1 range during 6AM, expect the second half to curve back 60-64% of the time.
10AM shows the opposite: Strong continuation bias (60% when Q2 breaks high, 52% when Q2 breaks low). 10AM breakouts tend to follow through.
HOW IT WORKS: THE QUARTER SYSTEM
The Six 4-Hour Candles (EST):
Each trading day (6pm-5pm) is divided into six 4-hour periods:
6PM (18:00-22:00) - Evening/Globex open | Blue box
10PM (22:00-02:00) - Asia session | Purple box
2AM (02:00-06:00) - Early London | Orange box
6AM (06:00-10:00) - Late London + NY Open | Green box ← THE CURVE SESSION
10AM (10:00-14:00) - NY Morning | Red box ← THE CONTINUATION SESSION
2PM (14:00-17:00) - NY Afternoon | Yellow box (3 hours only)
The Four Quarters:
Each 4-hour candle (except 2PM) is divided into four 1-hour quarters:
Q1 (Hour 1, minutes 0-60): Establishes initial range
Q2 (Hour 2, minutes 60-120): Tests Q1 range - breaks or holds?
Q3 (Hour 3, minutes 120-180): Second half begins
Q4 (Hour 4, minutes 180-240): Second half completes
2PM candle only has 3 hours (14:00-17:00), so quarters are adjusted accordingly.
The Three-Step Analysis:
STEP 1: Q1 Establishes Range
The first hour sets the high and low for the session. This becomes the reference range.
STEP 2: Q2 Break Detection
The indicator monitors whether Q2 (hour 2) breaks above Q1 high or below Q1 low.
STEP 3: Second Half Response
Once Q2 breaks Q1 range, the indicator tracks what happens in Q3+Q4:
Does price CURVE back to make new extreme on opposite side?
Does price CONTINUE to make new extreme in same direction?
Or does price stay within the established range?
VISUAL ELEMENTS EXPLAINED
1. 4-Hour Candle Boxes
Colored boxes display the high-to-low range of each 4H candle:
Blue = 6PM (evening session start)
Purple = 10PM (Asia session)
Orange = 2AM (early London)
Green = 6AM ← THE CURVE SESSION (watch for mean reversion)
Red = 10AM ← THE CONTINUATION SESSION (trend follow-through)
Yellow = 2PM (afternoon close, 3 hours only)
2. Quarter Separator Lines
Vertical dotted lines mark the boundaries between quarters (1H, 2H, 3H marks). This helps you see:
When Q1 ends (after 1 hour)
When Q2 ends / second half begins (after 2 hours)
When Q3 ends (after 3 hours)
3. Candle Name Labels
At the 2-hour mark (Q2/Q3 boundary), a label shows:
Candle name (e.g., "6am")
Directional indicator:
🔼 = Q2 broke Q1 HIGH
🔽 = Q2 broke Q1 LOW
⚠️ = Q2 broke BOTH Q1 high and low (extended range)
No symbol = Q2 stayed within Q1 range
THE LIVE STATUS TABLE
Located in your chosen corner (default: bottom-right), this table shows real-time analysis of the current 4H candle.
Header Row:
"LIVE: CANDLE" - Shows which 4H session you're currently in
Quarter Row:
"Quarter: Q1/Q2/Q3/Q4 (Hour X)" - Shows which quarter you're currently forming
STATUS Section:
The status updates dynamically based on what has happened:
During Q1-Q2 (First Half):
"⏳ Q1 Building..." - First hour forming, range being established
"⏳ Q2 Building..." - Second hour in progress, Q2 within Q1 range so far
"🔼 Q2 Broke Q1 HIGH" - Q2 has broken above Q1 high
"🔽 Q2 Broke Q1 LOW" - Q2 has broken below Q1 low
"⚠️ Q2 Broke BOTH Q1 Extremes" - Q2 extended range in both directions
During Q3-Q4 (Second Half):
"✓ CURVE CONFIRMED" - Q2 broke one direction, second half reversed to opposite side
"✓ CONTINUATION CONFIRMED" - Q2 broke one direction, second half extended further same direction
"⏳ 2nd Half In Progress" - Q2 broke Q1, waiting to see if curve or continuation
"📊 No Q2 Break Occurred" - Q2 stayed within Q1 range (no curve/continuation setup)
EXPECTATION Section:
Shows the probabilities based on the current state:
When Q2 breaks Q1 high in 6AM:
EXPECT 2nd half:
CURVE (low < Q1): 60.6%
CONT (high > Q2): 38.5%
This tells you there's a 60.6% chance the second half will curve back to make a new low below Q1, versus 38.5% chance it continues higher above Q2.
When curve/continuation is confirmed:
Q2 broke high → 2nd half made new LOW below Q1
Curve: 60.6%
Shows what actually happened and the historical probability.
Color Coding:
Purple background = Curve confirmed (mean reversion occurred)
Green background = Continuation confirmed (upside extension)
Red background = Continuation confirmed (downside extension)
Blue background = Second half in progress, watching
Yellow background = No Q2 break (no setup)
Gray background = Still in first half, building

"Curve" column = % of time second half makes new extreme on OPPOSITE side
"Cont" column = % of time second half makes new extreme in SAME direction
"Winner" column = Which behavior is more likely
Purple highlight = Curve is the winner (higher %)
Blue highlight = Continuation is the winner
🔥 symbol = Strong edge (>60%)
Quick Reference Usage:
You're in 10AM session, Q2 just broke Q1 high. Look at top section, 10AM row:
Curve: 17.2%
Cont: 60.4%
Winner: CONT
Interpretation: 10AM breakouts tend to follow through. Only 17% chance of curving back. Trade with the break, not against it.
PRACTICAL TRADING EXAMPLES
Example 1: Perfect 6AM Curve Setup
Scenario:
6AM candle in progress
7:00 AM: Q1 ends, range is 18,000 - 18,050
7:30 AM: Price breaks above 18,050, reaches 18,075 (Q2 broke Q1 high)
Live table shows: "🔼 Q2 Broke Q1 HIGH"
Expectation: "CURVE (low < Q1): 60.6%"
Trading Decision:
Even though price broke to new highs, the 60.6% curve probability suggests looking for short opportunities expecting price to curve back below 18,000 in Q3-Q4.
Typical Outcome:
8:15 AM (Q3): Price starts declining
9:15 AM (Q4): Price makes new low at 17,990
Result: ✓ CURVE CONFIRMED
Example 2: 10AM Continuation Signal
Scenario:
10AM candle in progress
11:00 AM: Q1 ends, range is 18,100 - 18,150
11:45 AM: Price breaks above 18,150, reaches 18,180 (Q2 broke Q1 high)
Live table shows: "🔼 Q2 Broke Q1 HIGH"
Expectation: "CONT (high > Q2): 60.4%"
Trading Decision:
With 60.4% continuation probability, breakout likely to follow through. Look for long opportunities expecting extension above 18,180 in Q3-Q4.
Typical Outcome:
12:30 PM (Q3): Price continues higher to 18,200
1:15 PM (Q4): Price makes new high at 18,225
Result: ✓ CONTINUATION CONFIRMED
Example 3: Using Reference Table During Live Trading
You see Q2 breaking Q1 low during 2AM session:
Quick reference check:
2AM row, "When Q2 BREAKS Q1 LOW" section
Curve: 42.8% | Cont: 43.3% | Winner: Balanced
Interpretation: This is a coin flip - 2AM session is balanced when Q2 breaks low. Don't force a directional bias. Wait for second half price action confirmation or skip the setup.
Example 4: No Setup Scenario
Scenario:
6AM candle, Q2 ends at 8:00 AM
Q2 stayed within Q1 range (no break above or below)
Live table shows: "📊 No Q2 Break Occurred"
Trading Decision:
No curve/continuation setup exists. This analysis only applies when Q2 breaks Q1 range. Monitor for different strategies or wait for next 4H candle.
UNDERSTANDING THE UNDERLYING METHODOLOGY
Data Foundation:
Instrument: NQ Futures (E-mini NASDAQ-100)
Timeframe: 1-minute bars for precise quarter tracking
Period: January 2013 - December 2025
Sample: 3,136+ complete trading days
Total 4H Candles Analyzed: ~18,800+ individual sessions
Analysis Process:
For each 4H candle in the dataset:
Calculate Q1 high and low (first hour range)
Track whether Q2 breaks Q1 high, Q1 low, both, or neither
When Q2 breaks Q1 range, measure second half response:
Did Q3+Q4 make new low below Q1? (curve when Q2 broke high)
Did Q3+Q4 make new high above Q1? (curve when Q2 broke low)
Did Q3+Q4 make new high above Q2? (continuation when Q2 broke high)
Did Q3+Q4 make new low below Q2? (continuation when Q2 broke low)
Calculate percentages for each session
Why NQ-Specific?
Different futures contracts exhibit different intraday personality:
NQ (NASDAQ):
Tech-heavy, volatility-prone
6AM shows extreme curve behavior (60-64%) due to NY Open reversal tendency
10AM shows strong continuation (60%) as trends establish
ES (S&P 500) would show different probabilities because:
Lower volatility than NQ
Different institutional participation patterns
Different response to macro events
The indicator's probabilities are calibrated specifically to NQ behavior patterns. Using it on ES, RTY, or other instruments will produce misleading signals.
ORIGINALITY & INNOVATION
What Makes This Indicator Unique:
Quarter-Based Curve Analysis: Unlike traditional indicators that only identify breakouts, this tracks what happens after the breakout. The curve vs continuation framework is novel and provides directional edge.
Session-Specific Behavior: Recognizes that 6AM behaves fundamentally differently than 10AM. Most indicators apply the same logic across all sessions. This indicator provides session-specific probabilities.
Statistical Validation: Every probability shown is backed by 10+ years of data (2,900+ candles per session). Not based on theory or discretionary observation.
Real-Time Quarter Tracking: Precisely identifies which quarter you're in and what stage of the pattern is forming. Provides forward-looking probabilities based on current state.
The 6AM Discovery: The 60-64% curve probability in 6AM is a quantified, repeatable edge that contradicts traditional "breakout = continuation" assumptions. This session exhibits mean reversion characteristics that most traders miss.
Dual-Direction Analysis: Tracks both upside breaks (Q2 > Q1 high) and downside breaks (Q2 < Q1 low) separately, as they can have different probabilities.
Visual Quarter System: The combination of colored boxes, quarter separators, and real-time labels provides instant visual understanding of pattern stage and expected behavior.
HOW TO USE THIS INDICATOR
Step 1: Identify Current 4H Candle
Check which colored box you're in and what session it represents.
Step 2: Wait for Q2 to Complete
The setup doesn't exist until Q2 (hour 2) breaks Q1 range. Monitor the live table.
Step 3: Check Q2 Break Status
Did Q2 break Q1 high? Q1 low? Both? Or neither?
Step 4: Consult Reference Table
Look up current session in curve reference table. What's the probability?
Step 5: Apply Session-Specific Strategy
For 6AM (60-64% curve):
Q2 breaks high → Expect curve back for new low
Q2 breaks low → Expect curve back for new high
Strategy: FADE the Q2 break, look for reversal entries in Q3-Q4
For 10AM (52-60% continuation):
Q2 breaks high → Expect continuation higher
Q2 breaks low → Expect continuation lower
Strategy: TRADE WITH the Q2 break, look for continuation entries in Q3-Q4
For 2AM (38-43% curve, 43-47% continuation):
Balanced probabilities
Strategy: Wait for Q3 price action to confirm direction, or skip
For 6PM/10PM (50-59% continuation):
Moderate continuation bias
Strategy: Lean with the break but use tight stops
Step 6: Monitor Live Status
Watch the live table for confirmation:
"✓ CURVE CONFIRMED" = Mean reversion occurred
"✓ CONTINUATION CONFIRMED" = Follow-through occurred
"⏳ 2nd Half In Progress" = Still developing
BEST PRACTICES
Focus on 6AM for curve trades - This is THE high-probability mean reversion session
Focus on 10AM for continuation trades - This is THE high-probability breakout session
Be cautious with 2AM - Balanced probabilities mean lower edge
Use quarter separators - Enter trades early in Q3 after Q2 break, don't wait for Q4
Combine with price action - Don't blindly fade 6AM or follow 10AM; wait for confirming price structure
Respect the 60% rule - 6AM curve happens 60% of time, which means 40% it doesn't. Manage risk accordingly
Watch for "No Q2 Break" - If Q2 doesn't break Q1, this analysis doesn't apply
Consider overnight context - If 6AM opens with huge gap, curve probability may be affected

LIMITATIONS & DISCLAIMERS
NQ FUTURES ONLY - All probabilities are NQ-specific, do not use on other instruments
Requires Q2 break - No curve/continuation setup exists if Q2 stays within Q1 range
Probabilities, not certainties - 60% means it happens 6 out of 10 times, not every time
Lower timeframe noise - 1-minute tracking can be choppy, consider using 5min+ for entries
Gap days - Large overnight gaps may affect curve/continuation probabilities
Not standalone - Use as confluence with your strategy, not as sole decision factor
Historical performance - Past statistics don't guarantee future results
WHY THE CURVE CONCEPT MATTERS
Traditional trading wisdom says: "Breakout = Continuation"
This indicator proves that's not always true. Specifically, during the 6AM session (late London + NY Open), when Q2 breaks the Q1 range, price curves back to the opposite extreme 60-64% of the time.
This creates a unique exploitable edge:
Most breakout traders go LONG when Q2 breaks Q1 high
But in 6AM, 60.6% of the time, price curves back down for new low
Shorting the breakout (counter-intuitive) is the higher-probability trade
The 10AM session shows the opposite:
Breakouts in 10AM tend to follow through (52-60%)
Traditional "trade the breakout" strategy works better here
By knowing which session you're in, you can adapt your strategy to match the session's personality.
FINAL NOTES
This indicator distills 10+ years of NQ intraday behavior into actionable, session-specific probabilities. The discovery that 6AM exhibits 60-64% curve behavior while 10AM exhibits 52-60% continuation behavior provides a statistical edge for mean reversion and trend-following traders respectively.
The highest-probability setups:
6AM Q2 break → FADE (60-64% edge for curve)
10AM Q2 break → FOLLOW (52-60% edge for continuation)
2AM = SKIP (balanced probabilities, no clear edge)
Master the 6AM curve and 10AM continuation first. These two sessions provide the clearest statistical edges.
Remember: Trade with proper risk management. This tool provides probabilities based on historical behavior, not predictions of future performance.
CSA Infinity BridgeCSA Infinity Bridge - 14-Indicator Consensus Dashboard
Description
- CSA Infinity Bridge is a proprietary multi-indicator consensus system that analyzes 14 technical indicators simultaneously and displays their collective agreement in a real-time dashboard. The indicator provides clear LONG, SHORT, or NEUTRAL signals based on mathematical consensus, eliminating subjective interpretation.
Core Innovation
- Unlike single indicators requiring interpretation, this tool synthesizes signals from Heikin Ashi, SuperTrend, Momentum, CCI, MFI, DMI, CMO, RSI+TTM, Zero-Lag MACD, ROC, SMA50, and specialized combinations into a unified market state classification.
Key Features
- 14 independent technical indicators analyzed per bar
- Real-time consensus dashboard with color-coded Bull/Bear readings
- 5-tier market state classification (Bullish, Trending ↑, Neutral, Chop, Trending ↓, Bearish)
- TOTAL column displays agreement count (out of 14) showing conviction level
- STATE column provides clear LONG/SHORT/NEUTRAL recommendations
- Built-in alerts for strong consensus (11+) and state changes
- Customizable dashboard size (Tiny to Huge)
- Optional dashboard placement (Top Right, Bottom Right, Bottom Center, Top Center)
What Makes It Unique
- The consensus engine quantifies market conviction with a simple number: when 11+ indicators agree, high-probability setups appear. When agreement drops below 8, the system warns to reduce exposure or stay flat. This creates a rules-based framework eliminating emotional trading decisions. The flexible dashboard positioning allows seamless integration into any chart layout without obstructing price action.
Ideal For
- Day traders and scalpers on futures markets (MNQ, MES, MYM, MGC, MCL) who need objective signals based on multi-indicator confirmation. Works on any instrument and timeframe, optimized for 1-5 minute scalping.
How to Use
Setup:
- Add indicator to chart and customize dashboard size and position. Enable alerts for "Strong Bullish", "Strong Bearish", "LONG Signal", and "SHORT Signal".
Dashboard Columns:
- Individual cells show Bull/Bear for each of 14 indicators
- TREND shows market state (Bullish/Trending/Neutral/Chop)
- STATE shows trade recommendation (LONG/SHORT/NEUTRAL)
- TOTAL shows agreement count with color coding (green 10+, orange 7-9, gray <7)
Signal Interpretation:
- 11-14 Agreement: High-probability setups, use full position size
- 8-10 Agreement: Medium probability, use 50-75% size
- 6-7 Agreement: Low probability, scalp only or avoid
- 5 Agreement: Chop zone, stay flat
Entry Strategy:
- Enter LONG when TOTAL reaches 11+ with STATE showing LONG. Enter SHORT when TOTAL reaches 11+ with STATE showing SHORT. Use stops 10-15 ticks beyond recent swing points.
Exit Strategy:
- Exit when TOTAL drops to 7 or below, or when STATE changes to opposite direction. Take partial profits at 2R, trail remainder.
Risk Management:
- Position sizing: 100% at 12-14 agreement, 75% at 10-11, 50% at 8-9, avoid below 8. Never risk more than 1% per trade.
Best Timeframes:
- 1-min (scalping), 3-min (quick day trades), 5-min (standard day trading), 15-min (swing entries).
Dimensional Support ResistanceDimensional Support Resistance
Overview
Dimensional Support Resistance is an open-source overlay indicator that automatically detects and displays clean, non-overlapping support and resistance levels using pivot-based analysis with intelligent filtering. It identifies significant swing highs and lows, filters them by minimum distance to prevent visual clutter, and provides volume-confirmed bounce signals.
What This Indicator Does
The indicator calculates and displays:
Dynamic Pivot Levels - Automatically detected swing highs and lows based on configurable pivot strength
Distance Filtering - Ensures levels are spaced apart by a minimum percentage to prevent overlap
S/R Zones - Visual zones around each level showing the price area of significance
Bounce Detection - Identifies when price reverses at support or resistance levels
Volume Confirmation - Strong signals require above-average volume for confirmation
How It Works
Pivot detection scans for swing highs and lows using a configurable strength parameter. A pivot low requires the low to be lower than all surrounding bars within the strength period.
Signal Generation
The indicator generates bounce signals using TradingView's built-in pivot detection combined with candle reversal confirmation:
Support Bounce: Pivot low forms with bullish close (close > open)
Resistance Bounce: Pivot high forms with bearish close (close < open)
Strong Bounce: Bounce occurs with volume 1.5x above 20-period average
A cooldown period of 15 bars prevents signal spam.
Dashboard Panel
A compact dashboard displays:
Support - Count of active support levels
Resistance - Count of active resistance levels
Dashboard position is configurable (Top Left, Top Right, Bottom Left, Bottom Right).
Visual Elements
Support Lines - Green horizontal lines at support levels
Resistance Lines - Red horizontal lines at resistance levels
S/R Zones - Semi-transparent boxes around levels showing zone width
Price Labels - S: and R: labels showing exact price of nearest levels
BOUNCE Markers - Triangle shapes with text when price bounces at a level
STRONG Markers - Label shapes when bounce occurs with high volume
Input Parameters
Lookback Period (default: 100) - Historical bars to scan for pivots
Pivot Strength (default: 8) - Bars on each side required for valid pivot (higher = fewer but stronger levels)
Max Levels Each Side (default: 2) - Maximum support and resistance levels displayed
Zone Width % (default: 0.15) - Width of zones around each level as percentage of price
Min Distance Between Levels % (default: 1.0) - Minimum spacing between levels to prevent overlap
Show S/R Zones (default: true) - Toggle zone visualization
Show Bounce Signals (default: true) - Toggle signal markers
Support Color (default: #00ff88) - Color for support elements
Resistance Color (default: #ff3366) - Color for resistance elements
Suggested Use Cases
Identify key support and resistance levels for entry and exit planning
Use bounce signals as potential reversal confirmation
Combine with other indicators for confluence-based trading decisions
Monitor strong signals for high-probability setups with volume confirmation
Timeframe Recommendations
Works on all timeframes. Higher timeframes (4H, Daily) provide more significant levels with fewer signals. Lower timeframes show more granular structure but may produce more noise.
Limitations
Pivot detection requires lookback bars, so very recent pivots may not be immediately visible
Bounce signals are based on pivot formation and may lag by the pivot strength period
Levels are recalculated on each bar, so they may shift as new pivots form

Dynamic Stoch200+MACD+Gann Confluence (Cardinal + Ordinal)If you're scrolling through hundreds of indicators on TradingView looking for a reliable edge, here's why this one stands out and deserves a spot on your chart:Ultra-High-Conviction Reversal Signals (Rare but Powerful)
Most indicators spam signals and repaint. This one requires four independent confluences to fire:Hidden bullish/bearish divergences on a very long-period Stochastic (200) – catches major cycle turns, not noise.Matching hidden divergences on MACD histogram – confirms momentum shift.A strong directional candle (close in top/bottom 20% of range) – filters weak wicks.
Price within ~1.75% of a dynamic Gann Square of 9 level (cardinal + ordinal angles).
Because it demands all four at once, signals are extremely rare — often only a handful per year on daily/weekly timeframes. When they appear, they frequently mark significant tops and bottoms.Fully Adaptive Gann Levels (No Static Lines)
Unlike most Gann scripts with fixed levels that quickly become irrelevant, this one:Automatically anchors to the most recent significant pivot low or high.
Calculates authentic Square of 9 rotations (45°, 90°, 135°, 180°, 225°, 270°, 315°, 360°).
Updates dynamically as new swings form — works on any timeframe and any market (BTC, stocks, forex, indices).
Clean & Customizable Toggle cardinal (strong) vs ordinal (intermediate) levels for plotting and signal checks.
Adjustable pivot sensitivity and proximity tolerance.
Minimal chart clutter: bold lines for major levels, subtle for intermediates, plus clear large triangles for entries.
Best For
Swing traders and position traders seeking high-probability reversal zones rather than frequent scalps. Excellent for Bitcoin and volatile assets where geometric levels + extreme momentum divergences often align at cycle extremes.In short: If you want an indicator that stays quiet most of the time but screams when a real reversal is likely — this is it. Add it, watch the Gann levels adapt, and wait patiently for the rare multi-confluence setups. Quality over quantity.
Nested MA Envelopes HarmonicThe Nested MA Envelopes Harmonic is a custom TradingView Pine Script indicator that overlays a series of nested envelopes around exponentially increasing simple moving averages (SMAs). These SMAs use lengths that double successively (e.g., 25, 50, 100, 200, up to 3200, starting from a user-defined power-of-2 base). Each envelope is offset by deviations that follow a harmonic/octave structure (multipliers of ×1, ×2, ×4, ×8, ×16, ×32, ×64, ×128).The deviation can be set in fixed points or as a true percentage of price, with an optional auto-calibration mode that dynamically adjusts the multiplier based on historical price behavior and ATR to target a specified percentage of bars staying within the innermost envelope. The envelopes feature customizable colors, shaded zones between levels, touch counters, cycle number labels on band touches (with cooldown), and optional centering.This creates a visually layered "harmonic" channel system resembling octave bands, helping identify multi-scale support/resistance zones.
Use CaseTraders use this indicator to visualize price action across multiple time scales simultaneously, treating the nested bands as harmonic levels of volatility or mean reversion zones. Inner envelopes (levels 1–3) capture short-term fluctuations and potential overbought/oversold conditions.
Outer envelopes (levels 6–8) act as major support/resistance during strong trends or reversals.
The cycle labels mark significant touches of higher-level bands (e.g., a "7" or "8" label signals rare extreme extensions, often preceding reversals). It suits mean-reversion strategies (buy near lower bands, sell near upper), trend confirmation (price hugging mid-levels), or breakout alerts when price pierces outer zones. The auto mode adapts to changing volatility, making it versatile for stocks, forex, crypto, or futures on various timeframes.
Personal use - set on your favorite instrument and set to auto mode. Make note of the level picked in bottom right corner. Then switch to manual mode and use the same multiplier that auto used to get you in the right sizing ballpark. The goal is to capture 95% of pricing within the smallest envelope. The what you will see is you can quantify various tops and bottoms. A 1st order (hitting the top/bottom of the smallest envelope) hit is not as important as a 2nd or 3rd order hit. Generally 1st order is informational and 2-5 is actionable. 6-8 would be a unicorn and you should act accordingly. You can use points or % for the spacing.
NQ Command Center [EOD Predictor]This is a sophisticated Macro-correlated Dashboard designed specifically for trading NQ (Nasdaq 100). It attempts to predict how the daily candle will close (Green or Red) by combining Price Action (Market Structure) with External Market Drivers (Yields, Volatility, Dollar, and Breadth).
How This Script Works
The script assigns a "Score" to current market conditions. The higher the score, the more bullish the prediction. The lower the score, the more bearish.
1. The "Structure" Score (Price Action) It looks at the Daily High/Low (PDH/PDL) and recent daily trend:
Bullish (+1): We are making Higher Highs/Higher Lows, or price is holding in the top 33% of yesterday's range.
Breakout (+2): Price has broken above the Previous Daily High (PDH).
Bearish (-1/-2): We are making Lower Highs, or price has broken below the Previous Daily Low (PDL).
2. The "Macro" Score (External Data) It pulls data from 5 external tickers to see if the environment supports a move:
ADDQ (Breadth): If > 0, more stocks are advancing than declining (Bullish).
VXN (Volatility): If falling, fear is decreasing (Bullish).
DXY (Dollar) & US10Y (Yields): If these are dropping, it is usually good for Tech/Nasdaq (Bullish).
CVD (Volume): Estimates if volume is dominated by buyers or sellers.
3. The Prediction (The Output) It sums these scores.
Total Score ≥ 4: "STRONG GREEN CLOSE 🚀" (High confidence Longs)
Total Score ≤ -4: "STRONG RED CLOSE 🩸" (High confidence Shorts)
Near 0: "CHOP / NEUTRAL" (Avoid trading or take quick scalps).
How to Use It Effectively
Symbol: Open a chart for NQ1! (Nasdaq Futures) or NDX.
Timeframe: This is designed for Intraday trading. Use 5m, 15m, or 1h charts. (Do not use on Daily chart, as the table lines up intraday data against daily history).
The Dashboard: Look at the table in the top right.
Focus on "AI Forecast": If it says STRONG GREEN, look for Long setups (pullbacks to support).
Check Confidence: If Confidence is "LOW", the macro data might be conflicting with price action (e.g., Price is going up, but Volume is selling). Be careful.
The Lines: The script plots Green (PDH) and Red (PDL) lines on your chart.
These are key reaction points. If price breaks the Green line, the "Live Status" on the dashboard will switch to BREAKOUT.
Smart Money Zones (FVG + OB) + MTF Trend Panel## Overview
Professional-grade institutional trading zones indicator that identifies **Fair Value Gaps (FVG)** and **Order Blocks (OB)** - key price inefficiencies where smart money operates. Includes a comprehensive **Multi-Timeframe Trend Panel** for complete market context at a glance.
## Core Features
### 🎯 Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
Fair Value Gaps occur when price moves so aggressively that it leaves an "imbalance" or "gap" in the market structure. These zones often act as magnets where price returns to find liquidity.
**Detection Logic:**
- **Bullish FVG**: When current candle's low is above the high of the candle 2 bars ago
- **Bearish FVG**: When current candle's high is below the low of the candle 2 bars ago
- Requires strong impulse candle (configurable body percentage threshold)
- Color-coded zones: Green for bullish, Red for bearish
### 📦 Order Blocks (OB)
Order Blocks represent the last opposite candle before a significant price move - the zone where institutional orders were placed before the breakout.
**Detection Logic:**
- Identifies the last bearish candle before a strong bullish breakout (Bullish OB)
- Identifies the last bullish candle before a strong bearish breakout (Bearish OB)
- Validates breakout strength using ATR multiplier (1.2x default)
- Color-coded zones: Blue for bullish, Orange for bearish
### 📊 Multi-Timeframe Trend Panel
Real-time trend analysis across **7 timeframes** displayed in an elegant dashboard:
- **1 Minute** - Ultra short-term scalping
- **5 Minutes** - Short-term momentum
- **15 Minutes** - Intraday swings
- **30 Minutes** - Session trends
- **1 Hour** - Multi-session trends
- **4 Hours** - Daily structure
- **Daily** - Long-term direction
**Visual Indicators:**
- 🟢 Green circle = Bullish trend
- 🔴 Red circle = Bearish trend
- Clean, professional table design with customizable position and size
## Intelligence Features
### 🧠 Zone Strength Rating
Every zone is automatically classified by strength based on size relative to ATR:
- **VERY STRONG** - 2.0x ATR or more (major institutional zones)
- **STRONG** - 1.5x to 2.0x ATR (significant zones)
- **MEDIUM** - 1.0x to 1.5x ATR (moderate zones)
- **WEAK** - Below 1.0x ATR (minor zones)
Strength rating helps you prioritize which zones to trade from!
### 📉 Smart Mitigation Tracking
Zones automatically track how much they've been "filled" or mitigated:
- Calculates penetration percentage as price enters the zone
- Zones turn **gray** when 50%+ mitigated or fully filled
- Option to **auto-delete** mitigated zones to keep chart clean
- Live zones extend dynamically with price action
### 🎨 Trend Filter (Optional)
When enabled, only shows zones aligned with the current trend:
- Uses customizable MA period (default 50)
- Bullish zones only appear in uptrend
- Bearish zones only appear in downtrend
- Reduces noise and false signals significantly
## Customization Options
### Display Settings
- Toggle FVGs and OBs independently
- Adjust max zones per type (5-200)
- Choose to remove or gray out mitigated zones
- Color customization for all zone types
### Detection Parameters
- **Min Impulse Body %**: Controls how strong the impulse candle must be (0.3-1.0)
- **Order Block Lookback**: How many bars to look back for OB validation (5-50)
- **ATR Length**: Period for ATR calculation (5-50)
### Trend Filter
- Enable/disable trend filtering
- Adjustable MA period for trend determination
### MTF Panel
- Show/hide the trend panel
- 4 position options: Top Right, Top Left, Bottom Right, Bottom Left
- 3 size options: Small, Normal, Large
- Customizable MA period for trend calculation across all timeframes
## Trading Applications
### 1. **Liquidity Grab Entries**
Wait for price to sweep a zone (50%+ mitigation) then enter on reversal. Smart money often "hunts" these zones before the real move begins.
### 2. **Confluence Trading**
Look for zones that align with:
- Multiple timeframe trends showing same direction
- Multiple FVGs/OBs stacking in same area
- Key support/resistance levels
### 3. **Breakout Confirmation**
Use Order Blocks to confirm the strength of breakouts. Strong OBs indicate institutional participation.
### 4. **Retracement Entries**
Enter when price returns to a fresh, unmitigated zone in the direction of the higher timeframe trend.
### 5. **Range Trading**
Identify FVG zones at range extremes - price often reverses at these inefficiencies.
## How It Works
**Fair Value Gaps** form when the middle candle creates such aggressive movement that it leaves a price gap between the high/low of surrounding candles. Institutional traders know these gaps get filled.
**Order Blocks** mark the origin of major moves. The last opposite-colored candle before a breakout is where large orders were placed. Price often returns to these zones for "retests" before continuing.
**Mitigation** happens when price returns to fill these zones. The indicator tracks this automatically, showing you which zones are still "fresh" and which have been used up.
## Best Practices
✅ **Use higher timeframe trends** - Always check the MTF panel before taking trades
✅ **Trade fresh zones** - Unmitigated zones (not gray) have the highest probability
✅ **Combine with price action** - Look for rejection wicks and engulfing candles at zones
✅ **Respect zone strength** - VERY STRONG and STRONG zones are most reliable
✅ **Use trend filter** - Especially on lower timeframes to reduce false signals
❌ **Don't overtrade** - Not every zone will react, wait for confirmation
❌ **Don't ignore context** - Check the MTF panel for conflicting trends
❌ **Don't chase** - Wait for price to come to the zone, don't enter mid-zone
## Technical Details
- **Non-repainting**: All zones are drawn on confirmed candles only
- **Performance optimized**: Uses efficient array management with per-type caps
- **Real-time updates**: Zones extend and track mitigation as price moves
- **Universal compatibility**: Works on all markets and timeframes
## Recommended Settings by Style
**Scalping (1m-5m charts):**
- Max zones: 10-15
- Use trend filter: ON
- MTF Panel: Focus on 1m-15m trends
- Remove mitigated: ON (keep chart clean)
**Day Trading (5m-1H charts):**
- Max zones: 15-20
- Use trend filter: ON
- MTF Panel: Focus on 15m-4H trends
- Remove mitigated: OFF (track zone history)
**Swing Trading (1H-D charts):**
- Max zones: 20+
- Use trend filter: Optional
- MTF Panel: Focus on 1H-1D trends
- Remove mitigated: OFF (important zones persist)

- **Bullish FVG**: When current candle's low is above the high of the candle 2 bars ago
- **Bearish FVG**: When current candle's high is below the low of the candle 2 bars ago
- Requires strong impulse candle (configurable body percentage threshold)
- Color-coded zones: Green for bullish, Red for bearish
### 📦 Order Blocks (OB)
Order Blocks represent the last opposite candle before a significant price move - the zone where institutional orders were placed before the breakout.
**Detection Logic:**
- Identifies the last bearish candle before a strong bullish breakout (Bullish OB)
- Identifies the last bullish candle before a strong bearish breakout (Bearish OB)
- Validates breakout strength using ATR multiplier (1.2x default)
- Color-coded zones: Blue for bullish, Orange for bearish
### 📊 Multi-Timeframe Trend Panel
Real-time trend analysis across **7 timeframes** displayed in an elegant dashboard:
- **1 Minute** - Ultra short-term scalping
- **5 Minutes** - Short-term momentum
- **15 Minutes** - Intraday swings
- **30 Minutes** - Session trends
- **1 Hour** - Multi-session trends
- **4 Hours** - Daily structure
- **Daily** - Long-term direction
**Visual Indicators:**
- 🟢 Green circle = Bullish trend
- 🔴 Red circle = Bearish trend
- Clean, professional table design with customizable position and size
## Intelligence Features
### 🧠 Zone Strength Rating
Every zone is automatically classified by strength based on size relative to ATR:
- **VERY STRONG** - 2.0x ATR or more (major institutional zones)
- **STRONG** - 1.5x to 2.0x ATR (significant zones)
- **MEDIUM** - 1.0x to 1.5x ATR (moderate zones)
- **WEAK** - Below 1.0x ATR (minor zones)
Strength rating helps you prioritize which zones to trade from!
### 📉 Smart Mitigation Tracking
Zones automatically track how much they've been "filled" or mitigated:
- Calculates penetration percentage as price enters the zone
- Zones turn **gray** when 50%+ mitigated or fully filled
- Option to **auto-delete** mitigated zones to keep chart clean
- Live zones extend dynamically with price action
### 🎨 Trend Filter (Optional)
When enabled, only shows zones aligned with the current trend:
- Uses customizable MA period (default 50)
- Bullish zones only appear in uptrend
- Bearish zones only appear in downtrend
- Reduces noise and false signals significantly
## Customization Options
### Display Settings
- Toggle FVGs and OBs independently
- Adjust max zones per type (5-200)
- Choose to remove or gray out mitigated zones
- Color customization for all zone types
### Detection Parameters
- **Min Impulse Body %**: Controls how strong the impulse candle must be (0.3-1.0)
- **Order Block Lookback**: How many bars to look back for OB validation (5-50)
- **ATR Length**: Period for ATR calculation (5-50)
### Trend Filter
- Enable/disable trend filtering
- Adjustable MA period for trend determination
### MTF Panel
- Show/hide the trend panel
- 4 position options: Top Right, Top Left, Bottom Right, Bottom Left
- 3 size options: Small, Normal, Large
- Customizable MA period for trend calculation across all timeframes
## Trading Applications
### 1. **Liquidity Grab Entries**
Wait for price to sweep a zone (50%+ mitigation) then enter on reversal. Smart money often "hunts" these zones before the real move begins.
### 2. **Confluence Trading**
Look for zones that align with:
- Multiple timeframe trends showing same direction
- Multiple FVGs/OBs stacking in same area
- Key support/resistance levels
### 3. **Breakout Confirmation**
Use Order Blocks to confirm the strength of breakouts. Strong OBs indicate institutional participation.
### 4. **Retracement Entries**
Enter when price returns to a fresh, unmitigated zone in the direction of the higher timeframe trend.
### 5. **Range Trading**
Identify FVG zones at range extremes - price often reverses at these inefficiencies.
## How It Works
**Fair Value Gaps** form when the middle candle creates such aggressive movement that it leaves a price gap between the high/low of surrounding candles. Institutional traders know these gaps get filled.
**Order Blocks** mark the origin of major moves. The last opposite-colored candle before a breakout is where large orders were placed. Price often returns to these zones for "retests" before continuing.
**Mitigation** happens when price returns to fill these zones. The indicator tracks this automatically, showing you which zones are still "fresh" and which have been used up.
## Best Practices
✅ **Use higher timeframe trends** - Always check the MTF panel before taking trades
✅ **Trade fresh zones** - Unmitigated zones (not gray) have the highest probability
✅ **Combine with price action** - Look for rejection wicks and engulfing candles at zones
✅ **Respect zone strength** - VERY STRONG and STRONG zones are most reliable
✅ **Use trend filter** - Especially on lower timeframes to reduce false signals
❌ **Don't overtrade** - Not every zone will react, wait for confirmation
❌ **Don't ignore context** - Check the MTF panel for conflicting trends
❌ **Don't chase** - Wait for price to come to the zone, don't enter mid-zone
## Technical Details
- **Non-repainting**: All zones are drawn on confirmed candles only
- **Performance optimized**: Uses efficient array management with per-type caps
- **Real-time updates**: Zones extend and track mitigation as price moves
- **Universal compatibility**: Works on all markets and timeframes
## Recommended Settings by Style
**Scalping (1m-5m charts):**
- Max zones: 10-15
- Use trend filter: ON
- MTF Panel: Focus on 1m-15m trends
- Remove mitigated: ON (keep chart clean)
**Day Trading (5m-1H charts):**
- Max zones: 15-20
- Use trend filter: ON
- MTF Panel: Focus on 15m-4H trends
- Remove mitigated: OFF (track zone history)
**Swing Trading (1H-D charts):**
- Max zones: 20+
- Use trend filter: Optional
- MTF Panel: Focus on 1H-1D trends
- Remove mitigated: OFF (important zones persist)

RS Rating (1-99)RS Rating
This indicator implements a Relative Strength (RS) rating for TradingView and is designed specifically to be used with the Pine Screener.
Concept
Relative Strength is calculated using weighted price performance over multiple time windows (approximately 3, 6, 9, and 12 months).
More recent performance is weighted more heavily, following well-established relative strength methodologies.
The resulting raw RS score is then compressed into a 1–99 scale, creating an intuitive and stable ranking metric.
Because TradingView scripts cannot rank a stock against the entire market universe, this indicator uses a behavioral proxy: the current RS score is mapped against its own historical distribution.
This produces RS values that behave similarly to widely used RS ratings, but it is not a true cross-sectional percentile rank.
IPO handling
RS Rating is not displayed until sufficient price history exists (default: ~9 months / 189 bars).
This avoids distorted RS values for newly listed stocks. IPOs are better evaluated using separate momentum, volume, or structure-based tools until they mature.
Interpretation (rule of thumb)
- RS ≥ 80 → strong relative performance
- RS ≥ 90 → leader
- RS ≥ 95 → very selective / top-tier
- RS Rating is best used as a ranking and confirmation tool, not as an entry signal.
Using RS Rating with TradingView Pine Screener
This indicator is designed to work directly with the TradingView Pine Screener (beta).
Setup
- Add the indicator to a chart
- Open Pine Screener
- Select this script as a filter source
- Use the plotted RS Rating (1–99) value for sorting or filtering
The screener reads the single plotted RS value and treats it as a sortable numeric column.
Typical screening workflows
Leader scan
Filter: RS Rating ≥ 90
Sort: Descending by RS Rating
Identifies stocks with sustained relative outperformance.
Broad strength scan
Filter: RS Rating ≥ 80
Useful for identifying emerging leaders or strong secondary names.
Top-of-universe view
No filter
Sort: Descending by RS Rating
Shows the strongest names within the selected universe.
Important notes on Pine Screener (beta)
The Pine Screener currently displays a limited number of results (approximately 100).
Symbols may be pre-sampled before filtering.
For larger universes, consider:
- splitting symbols to be scanned into multiple watchlists
Best practices
Use RS Rating to rank and prioritize candidates, not to time entries.
Combine RS with:
- price structure,
- volume behavior,
- overall market regime.
RS is most effective when used as part of a multi-factor screening process.

## What This Indicator Does
This indicator combines two powerful concepts to identify complete market cycles:
### 1. Squeeze Momentum (LazyBear)
Detects **volatility compression** (consolidation) and subsequent **expansion** (breakout).
**Think of it like:** A spring being compressed, then released.
### 2. Multi-Timeframe Trend Exhaustion
Measures how far price has moved from its moving averages across multiple timeframes.
**Think of it like:** A rubber band being stretched—eventually it must snap back.
### The Complete Cycle
```
Consolidation → Breakout → Trend → Exhaustion → Reversion → Consolidation
```
This indicator shows you exactly where you are in this cycle.

## Visual Components
### Main Panel (Bottom)
| Element | What It Looks Like | Meaning |
|---------|-------------------|---------|
| **Colored Bars** | Green/Red histogram | Momentum strength and direction |
| **Filled Area** | Yellow/Lime/Red gradient area | Price extension from moving averages |
| **Cross at Zero** | Black/Gray/Blue cross | Squeeze state (volatility) |
| **Dashed Lines** | Horizontal red/green lines | Extension thresholds (±2σ scaled) |
---
### 1. Momentum Histogram (Colored Bars)
| Color | Direction | Meaning |
|-------|-----------|---------|
| **Bright Green** (Lime) | Up ↑ | Strong bullish momentum (increasing) |
| **Dark Green** | Up ↑ | Weak bullish momentum (decreasing) |
| **Bright Red** | Down ↓ | Strong bearish momentum (increasing) |
| **Dark Red** (Maroon) | Down ↓ | Weak bearish momentum (decreasing) |
**Key insight:** When bars change from bright to dark, momentum is fading.
---
### 2. Extension Area (Filled Gradient)
Shows how extended price is from its moving averages across 5 timeframes (5m, 15m, 1h, 4h, Daily).
| Color | Position | Meaning |
|-------|----------|---------|
| **Red** | High above zero | Severely overbought (>2σ scaled) |
| **Orange/Yellow** | Above zero | Moderately overbought |
| **Lime/Green** | Below zero | Moderately oversold |
| **Teal** | Deep below zero | Severely oversold (<-2σ scaled) |
**The area is scaled 3x** for better visibility. Actual values shown in table.
**Reading it:**
- **Area touching upper dashed line** = Price very far above averages (exhaustion territory)
- **Area touching lower dashed line** = Price very far below averages (exhaustion territory)
- **Area near zero** = Price near its averages (normal/neutral)
---
### 3. Squeeze Indicator (Cross at Zero Line)
| Color | Status | Meaning |
|-------|--------|---------|
| **Black** ⚫ | Squeeze ON | Bollinger Bands inside Keltner Channels → Low volatility, consolidation |
| **Gray** ⚪ | Squeeze OFF | Bollinger Bands outside Keltner Channels → Volatility expanding, breakout |
| **Blue** 🔵 | No Squeeze | Normal volatility conditions |
**Critical:** The transition from Black → Gray is where explosive moves begin.
---
### 4. Entry/Exit Signals
| Symbol | Type | Meaning |
|--------|------|---------|
| 🔺 **Large Green Triangle** | HC Long Entry | High Confidence long setup (Squeeze OFF + Oversold + Confluence) |
| 🔻 **Large Red Triangle** | HC Short Entry | High Confidence short setup (Squeeze OFF + Overbought + Confluence) |
| 🔺 Small green | Medium Long | Long setup without full confluence |
| 🔻 Small red | Medium Short | Short setup without full confluence |
| ✕ Orange X | Exit Long | Close long positions (exhaustion detected) |

## How to Read Signals
### Perfect Long Entry (High Confidence ⭐)
**Requirements (all must be true):**
1. ⚫→⚪ Squeeze just turned OFF (gray cross)
2. 📊 Momentum bars bright GREEN and rising
3. 🔻 Extension area BELOW lower dashed line (oversold)
4. ⭐ Confluence: 3/5 or more timeframes agree (shown as "🔻" in table)
**Visual:** Large green triangle appears
**What this means:** Price was oversold across multiple timeframes, consolidated, and is now breaking out upward with fresh momentum.
**Entry:** Next candle after signal
**Stop Loss:** Below recent consolidation low
**Take Profit:** When extension area crosses back above zero, or when exit signal appears
---
### Perfect Short Entry (High Confidence ⭐)
**Requirements (all must be true):**
1. ⚫→⚪ Squeeze just turned OFF (gray cross)
2. 📊 Momentum bars bright RED and falling
3. 🔺 Extension area ABOVE upper dashed line (overbought)
4. ⭐ Confluence: 3/5 or more timeframes agree (shown as "🔺" in table)
**Visual:** Large red triangle appears
**What this means:** Price was overbought across multiple timeframes, consolidated, and is now breaking down with fresh momentum.
**Entry:** Next candle after signal
**Stop Loss:** Above recent consolidation high
**Take Profit:** When extension area crosses back below zero, or when exit signal appears
---
### Exit Signals
#### Exit Long (Orange X)
**Appears when:**
- Extension area reaches upper dashed line (>2σ)
- Momentum bars turning from bright green to dark green
- Price losing upward velocity
**Action:** Close 50-100% of position. Move stop to breakeven on remainder.
#### Exit Short (Teal X)
**Appears when:**
- Extension area reaches lower dashed line (<-2σ)
- Momentum bars turning from bright red to dark red
- Price losing downward velocity
**Action:** Close 50-100% of position. Move stop to breakeven on remainder.
---
### Medium Confidence Signals (Small Triangles)
These appear when squeeze is OFF and momentum is directional, but:
- Extension is only moderate (not extreme), OR
- Confluence is weak (<3/5 timeframes)
**How to trade:**
- Use smaller position size (50% of normal)
- Tighter stops
- Only take if other factors align (support/resistance, volume, etc.)
---
## Trading Examples
### Example 1: Classic Squeeze Play into Trend
```
Step 1: CONSOLIDATION (💤)
Chart: Price moving sideways for 10-20 candles
Indicator: Black cross at zero (Squeeze ON)
Extension: Yellow/Lime area near zero line
Action: Set alert for Squeeze OFF
Step 2: BREAKOUT (⚡)
Chart: Strong green candle breaks resistance
Indicator: Cross turns GRAY (Squeeze OFF)
Bright GREEN momentum bars appear
Extension area still near zero or slightly below
Signal: Large green triangle appears
Action: ENTER LONG
Stop loss below consolidation
Target: Extension upper line
Step 3: TRENDING (↗️)
Chart: Series of higher highs and higher lows
Indicator: Momentum bars stay bright green
Extension area rising toward upper line
Area color transitions yellow → orange → red
Action: HOLD, trailing stop
Step 4: EXHAUSTION (🔴)
Chart: Price makes new high but with smaller candle
Indicator: Extension area touches upper dashed line
Momentum bars turn DARK green (weakening)
Orange X appears
Table shows "EXHAUSTION BULL"
Action: EXIT position
Book profits
Step 5: REVERSION
Chart: Price falls back toward moving averages
Indicator: Extension area shrinks back toward zero
Red momentum bars appear
Action: Wait for next setup
```
**Result:** Caught the entire trend from breakout to exhaustion.
---
### Example 2: Failed Breakout (What NOT to Trade)
```
Situation:
- Squeeze OFF (gray cross) ✓
- Momentum bars bright green ✓
- BUT extension area ABOVE upper line (already overbought) ✗
- Confluence shows 1/5 (only one timeframe agrees) ✗
Indicator: Small green triangle (medium confidence) or no triangle

### Understanding the Table
Located in top-right corner:
| Row | Meaning |
|-----|---------|
| **Market State** | Current cycle phase (Consolidation/Breakout/Trending/Exhaustion) |
| **Squeeze** | 🔴 ON / 🟢 OFF / 🔵 No |
| **Momentum** | ↑ Bull / ↓ Bear / ~ Weak / — Neutral |
| **Extension** | Actual value in standard deviations (σ) - NOT scaled |
| **Confluence** | How many timeframes agree (X/5 🔺 or 🔻) |
| **Velocity** | Speed of extension change (↑ increasing, ↓ decreasing) |
| **ACTION** | What to do right now |
**Most important rows:**
1. **Market State** - Quick glance at current cycle
2. **Confluence** - Determines signal quality
3. **ACTION** - Direct guidance
---
## Best Practices
### ✅ DO
1. **Wait for High Confidence signals** (large triangles)
- Don't trade every small signal
- Quality over quantity
2. **Use the complete cycle**
- Enter on Breakout (⚡)
- Hold through Trending (↗️/↘️)
- Exit on Exhaustion (🔴/🟢)
3. **Respect confluence**
- 4/5 or 5/5 = Excellent probability
- 3/5 = Good probability
- 1-2/5 = Skip
4. **Combine with price action**
- Support/resistance levels
- Volume confirmation
- Candlestick patterns
5. **Set alerts**
- "Squeeze OFF" - Don't miss breakouts
- "HC Long Setup" / "HC Short Setup"
- "Exit Long" / "Exit Short"
6. **Scale positions**
- Enter 50% on signal
- Add 25% if extension confirms
- Add final 25% if momentum sustains
7. **Use proper risk management**
- Stop loss: Below/above consolidation
- Position size: 1-2% account risk
- Take profit: Extension targets or signals
---
### ❌ DON'T
1. **Don't trade Consolidation state**
- Black cross (Squeeze ON) = Wait mode
- No signals during consolidation
2. **Don't chase Extended moves**
- If extension already >2σ when Squeeze fires
- Even if momentum looks good
- Wait for reversion first
3. **Don't fight strong trends**
- If extension is growing and momentum strong
- Don't counter-trend trade
- Wait for exhaustion signals
4. **Don't ignore velocity**
- If velocity is ↑ and extension high = still dangerous
- If velocity is ↓ and extension high = safer reversal
5. **Don't trade low confluence**
- 1/5 or 2/5 = Different timeframes disagree
- High chance of false signal
6. **Don't use blindly**
- Check overall market context
- Major news events can override signals
- Trend on higher timeframe matters
7. **Don't overtrade**
- Good setups are rare (that's why they work)
- Wait for complete setup formation
---
## Quick Reference Card
### Signal Quality Checklist
**⭐⭐⭐ PERFECT SETUP (Trade this)**
- Squeeze just turned OFF (⚫→⚪)
- Momentum bright and directional
- Extension >2σ (OPPOSITE direction of entry)
- Confluence ≥3/5
- Large triangle signal
- Action says "LONG/SHORT ENTRY ⭐"
**⭐⭐ GOOD SETUP (Trade with caution)**
- Squeeze OFF
- Momentum directional
- Extension moderate
- Confluence ≥3/5
- Small triangle or Action confirms
**⭐ WEAK SETUP (Skip)**
- Low confluence (<3/5)
- Extension same direction as entry
- Momentum weak or conflicting
- Already in Extended/Exhaustion state
---
### State → Action Quick Guide
| See This State | Do This |
|---------------|---------|
| 💤 CONSOLIDATION | Wait, set alerts |
| ⚡ BREAKOUT | Enter in direction |
| ↗️/↘️ TRENDING | Hold positions |
| ⚠️ EXTENDED | Tighten stops, no new entries |
| 🔴/🟢 EXHAUSTION | Exit, consider reversal |
| — NEUTRAL | No trade |
---
## Troubleshooting
**Q: Indicator shows Exhaustion but price keeps going**
**A:** Check velocity and momentum. If still bright bars + velocity ↑, wait. True exhaustion needs momentum weakening.
**Q: Too many false signals**
**A:** Increase Min Confluence to 4/5. Use longer timeframe chart (4h instead of 1h).
**Q: Missing good trades**
**A:** Set alerts for "Squeeze OFF" and "HC Entry" signals. You can't watch charts 24/7.
**Q: Extension area looks weird**
**A:** Remember it's scaled 3x for visibility. Check table for actual values.
**Q: Which timeframe is best?**
**A:** 4H for swing trading, 1H for day trading. Lower = more signals but more noise.
**Q: Can I use this with other indicators?**
**A:** Yes! Combine with:
- Volume profile
- Support/resistance levels
- Moving averages on chart
- RSI for additional confirmation
---
## Final Thoughts
This indicator gives you a complete picture of market structure:
- **Where are we?** (Market State)
- **Where are we going?** (Momentum)
- **How far can it go?** (Extension)
- **When will it reverse?** (Exhaustion)
The key is **patience**. Wait for the complete setup:
1. Consolidation (⚫ Squeeze ON)
2. Breakout (⚪ Squeeze OFF)
3. Right extension direction (oversold for longs, overbought for shorts)
4. Strong confluence (3/5+)
When all pieces align, you get high-probability trades with clear entries, targets, and exits.
**Trade the cycle, not every wiggle.**

Archetype Zones, Defense Confirmation OverlayArchetype Zones + Defense Confirmation Overlay (MST) v1.0
This indicator is a time-structure execution overlay built for fast intraday futures trading. It highlights a curated set of high-ROI market timing windows (MST / America/Denver) and applies lightweight “not-too-strict” logic to classify each window as a likely:
Driver (initiative / directional push)
Continuation (follow-through of the parent move)
Trap (liquidity sweep + stall / possible flip)
Rotation (VWAP churn + contraction / stand down conditions)
On top of the time zones, it includes a Defense Confirmation Overlay designed for 1–5 second execution, helping identify moments when price shows “defense behavior” aligned with the expected directional bias of the active zone.
What It Does
1) Time-Based Archetype Zones (MST)
The script shades key intraday windows with a configurable soft buffer (+/- minutes) so the user can anticipate action before/after the exact minute.
Each zone can output an expected directional lean using:
Displacement vs. window span
VWAP location
VWAP crossing count (chop filter)
Basic structure checks for continuation
Sweep/stall logic for trap detection
Churn + contraction logic for rotation regimes
2) Expected Direction Engine
When a zone is active, the indicator calculates the “expected direction” for that specific zone using the archetype logic.
This expected direction is used as the baseline for the Defense module, so defense markers are context-aware.
3) Defense Confirmation Overlay (Execution Layer)
Defense is intended to represent institutional-style protection or rejection inside an active zone.
It looks for:
Strong wick dominance (wick as a percentage of total candle span)
Close location in the top/bottom portion of the candle
Optional absorption highlight: volume spike plus compressed candle span (high volume, low range)
When conditions align with the zone’s expected direction, the script can show:
Defense wick markers (below-bar for buy defense, above-bar for sell defense)
Absorption highlight on bars showing absorption behavior
4) Micro Defense Box
When a defense event triggers, the script can draw a small “defense box” at the defended level with tick-padding.
The box extends right until invalidated (price closes through the box boundary).
This provides a clean visual reference for:
Defended price location
Invalidation threshold
Follow-through behavior after defense
5) Entry Permission Label
When Defense + Absorption occur together during an active zone, the script can print an “Entry Permission” label to highlight that multiple confirmations aligned.
Inputs and Customization
Zone buffer (+/- minutes)
Zone shading opacity
Toggle zone labels, defense markers, absorption highlighting, defense box, permission label
Adjustable “not too strict” archetype thresholds (designed for practical use, not curve-fitting)
Adjustable defense wick/close thresholds and absorption parameters
Notes and Disclaimer
This indicator does not predict the market with certainty.
It is designed to provide time-structure context plus execution confirmation, not standalone buy/sell signals.
It is best used alongside trend/bias tools (VWAP, structure, higher-timeframe levels, key session highs/lows).
Always test settings on your market and timeframe before live use.
NW Curved Interest ZonesThis indicator automatically scans and plots curved (non-linear) interest zones using Nadaraya-Watson kernel regression smoothing to create a dynamic, adaptive "mean" curve. It then identifies and draws the strongest parallel curved zones where price has repeatedly bounced with statistical validation – perfect for non-linear, organic trending or ranging markets.
How It Works (Technical Methodology)
Curved Mean Calculation
The core curve is generated via Nadaraya-Watson kernel regression (Gaussian weighting):
Smooths closing prices over the lookback period with user-adjustable bandwidth (default 30.0) – higher = smoother/less reactive, lower = tighter fit.
Range methods: "Lookback Bars" (default 400), "Fixed Start Date", or "Entire History".
Channel Envelope Detection
Measures maximum deviations above/below the smoothed curve across the period.
Defines full channel height and base offset for percentage-based zoning.
Stable Update & Anti-Repaint Logic
Full recalculation only after user-defined closed bars (default 50) OR on forced break (if price escapes visible zone envelope).
All data (curve points, slope for projection, levels, scores) snapshotted and frozen until next confirmed update.
Prevents flickering/live-bar repainting while allowing adaptive refresh.
Auto Mode Scanning
When enabled:
Scans channel height in % steps (default 1.0%).
Each candidate creates a thin curved zone parallel to the NW curve (thickness % of price, default 0.01%).
Counts valid "hits": Price touches zone and holds without break for user-defined bars (default 20).
Break source: "Close" (conservative) or "Wick" (sensitive).
Direction inferred from close relative to zone center.
Level Selection
Ranks by hit count, filters close clusters (min distance %), limits to max zones (default 8).
Manual mode: Directly applies user percentages (e.g., 0/50/100 for bottom/median/top).
Curved Zone Construction
Zones drawn as smooth, filled polylines (curved=true) following the kernel regression shape.
Historical section uses exact smoothed points; future projection uses last slope for realistic extension.
Optional long future extension or limited projection.
Dynamic coloring: Supply (above price), Demand (below price).
Dashboard
Table displays current price at each zone (stable during bar), % level, hit count (green when strong).
Update status with countdown or "TRIGGERED!" on force break.
How to Use
Ideal for markets with natural curvature (parabolic moves, rounded bottoms/tops, organic trends).
High hit counts: Proven curved support/resistance – expect strong reactions.
Bandwidth: Higher (50+) for major structural curves; lower (10–20) for shorter-term adaptive zones.
Hold Bars: Increase for stricter validation in noisy assets.
Force Break Update: Keeps zones relevant during strong trends/breakouts.
Supply Zones (Curved above price): Dynamic overhead resistance.
Demand Zones (Curved below price): Dynamic underlying support.
Confluence: Excellent with volume, order blocks, or divergence for entries/exits.
Manual Mode: Quickly overlay classic % (e.g., channel parallels).
Smooth, non-repainting curved zones provide superior visual alignment to real price action compared to linear channels.

BTC - RVPM: Run Velocity & Probability MapBTC – RVPM: Run Velocity & Probability Map | RM
Strategic Context: Understanding Price Runs
A "Price Run" (also known as a streak or consecutive sessions) is a foundational concept in time-series analysis that measures the duration of a price movement without a significant counter-signal. While common indicators like RSI or MACD measure magnitude or momentum, they often ignore the Persistence of the trend. Historically, markets move through cycles of expansion and mean-reversion. A Price Run represents a period of "Unidirectional Flow" — a fingerprint of institutional accumulation or systematic distribution. However, standard "run-counting" is often too simplistic for the volatile crypto markets.
What Makes RVPM Special?
Most community run-counters are binary; they simply tell you if X days were green or red. The RVPM distinguishes itself through three proprietary layers:
• The Intensity Filter: It doesnt just count days; it counts effort . By ignoring "flat" days through a percentage-return threshold, it filters out noise that would otherwise skew the statistical probability.
• Dynamic Benchmarking: Instead of using an arbitrary number (like "7 days"), the RVPM looks back at 200 bars of history to find the local "Persistence Ceiling." It adapts to the current volatility regime of Bitcoin.
• The Velocity Score: It transform simple counts into a -100 to +100 histogram, allowing traders to see momentum "decaying" (e.g., dropping from 90 to 70) even if the price continues to rise.
The 3 Pillars of the Engine
1. Velocity Mapping (Persistence Histogram)
The histogram calculates the density of directional effort within a defined window. It functions as the "Pulse" of the trend, mapping market behavior into three distinct zones:
• High Velocity Zone (> 80 or < -80): Institutional Expansion. This identifies a "clean" move where one side of the market possesses total structural control. In this zone, the trend is efficient, and counter-signals are immediately absorbed.
• The Neutral Zone (Near Zero): Momentum Equilibrium. When the histogram fluctuates near the zero line, the market is in a "Recharge Phase." Neither bulls nor bears are achieving persistent dominance. Tactically, this is the "Waiting Room" where range-bound chop is likely, and traders should wait for a new "Expansion" spike before committing.
• Velocity Decay: The Exhaustion Warning. Velocity Decay occurs when the indicator moves from an extreme (e.g., +95) back toward the zero line (e.g., +50) while the price is still rising. This is a "Persistence Divergence." It tells you that while the trend is still moving, the consistency of the bars is fragmenting. The "fuel" is being depleted, and the trend is transitioning from an "Institutional Expansion" into a "Speculative Exhaustion."
2. n-of-m Consistency (The Pips)
The "Pips" (Circles) mark when a specific consistency threshold is met (e.g., 5 out of 7 bars in one direction). This identifies "Leaky Trends" that are still statistically dominated by one side of the ledger.
3. Statistical Exhaustion (The Arrows)
The Dark Red (Top) and Dark Green (Bottom) triangles represent the engine's "Mean-Reversion Signal." The calculation is based on a Relative Maximum Streak (RMS) logic: the script tracks the current linear, consecutive bar count (ignoring bars that fail the Intensity Filter) and continuously benchmarks this against the highest streak recorded over the last 200 bars ( ta.highest(streak, 200) ). The triangles are triggered specifically when the current run reaches 80% of this historical record (the "Anomaly Threshold"). Mathematically, this identifies a move that is statistically pushing against its half-year limit. By using this dynamic threshold rather than a fixed number, the "Extreme" signal automatically tightens during low-volatility regimes and expands during high-volatility expansions, ensuring the signal only appears when the "statistical rubber band" is at a true breaking point.
Operational Interface: The RVPM Dashboard
The Status Dashboard (Top Right) serves as a real-time monitor for momentum health, providing a clean summary of the underlying persistence data:
• Current STREAK: The active, consecutive count of bars meeting the Intensity Filter. It is dynamically color-coded (Cyan/Bullish or Red/Bearish) to provide an instant read on trend seniority.
• WINDOW Consistency: Measures the Momentum Density (the n-of-m value). A value of "6" in a "7-bar" window indicates a high-conviction regime that is successfully absorbing pullbacks without losing its primary trajectory.
Tactical Playbook: The Mean-Reversion Rule
Price action typically follows a "Rubber Band" effect. The further it is stretched without a break, the more "unstable" the trend becomes as the pool of available buyers or sellers is depleted.
• The Setup: Wait for the Triangle Arrows to appear.
• The Logic: The move has reached a 200-day anomaly. A "Liquidity Vacuum" is forming on the opposite side.
• The Action: This is a high-probability Mean-Reversion signal. It is a tactical time to take profits or look for a sharp snap-back move toward the 20-period moving average or the "Institutional Mean."
Settings & Parameters
• Window Length (m): The lookback window used to calculate the Velocity Score.
• Required Days (n): The minimum number of directional bars needed within the window to trigger a "Consistency Pip."
• Intensity Filter (%): The minimum % change required for a bar to be counted toward a run.
• Lookback Period: The historical window (Default: 200 bars) used to calculate the "Maximum Streak" records for exhaustion alerts.
Timeframe Recommendation
The RVPM is best viewed on the Daily (1D) timeframe. This filters out intraday noise and provides the most reliable statistical mapping for macro exhaustion points.
Credits & Verification
The RVPM logic aligns with institutional "Persistence" models and Glassnode's Price Stretch benchmarks. By benchmarking against a rolling 200-day window, the indicator automatically adapts to changing market volatility.

Smart Money Fluid [JOAT]
Smart Money Fluid — Accumulation and Distribution Flow Analysis
Smart Money Fluid tracks institutional-style accumulation and distribution patterns using a sophisticated combination of Money Flow Index, Chaikin Money Flow, and VWAP-relative price analysis. It aims to reveal whether larger participants may be accumulating (buying) or distributing (selling)—information that can precede significant price moves.
What Makes This Indicator Unique
Unlike single money flow indicators, Smart Money Fluid:
Combines three different money flow methodologies into one composite signal
Detects divergences between price and money flow automatically
Identifies high-volume conditions that add conviction to signals
Provides both the composite signal and individual component values
Features a momentum histogram showing flow acceleration
What This Indicator Does
Combines multiple money flow indicators into a composite signal (0-100 scale)
Identifies accumulation zones (potential institutional buying) and distribution zones (potential selling)
Detects divergences between price and money flow
Highlights high-volume conditions for stronger signals
Tracks momentum direction within the flow
Provides comprehensive dashboard with all component values
Composite Calculation Explained
The Smart Money Flow composite combines three proven money flow methodologies:
// Component 1: Money Flow Index (MFI) - 40% weight
// Measures buying/selling pressure using price and volume
float mfi = 100 - (100 / (1 + mfRatio))
// Component 2: Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) - 30% weight
// Measures accumulation/distribution based on close position within range
float cmf = sum(mfVolume, length) / sum(volume, length) * 100
// Component 3: VWAP Price Strength - 30% weight
// Measures price position relative to volume-weighted average price
float priceVsVWAP = (close - vwap) / vwap * 100
// Final Composite (scaled to 0-100)
float rawSMF = (mfi * 0.4 + (cmf + 50) * 0.3 + (50 + priceVsVWAP * 5) * 0.3)
float smf = ta.ema(rawSMF, smoothLength)
State Classification
Accumulating (Green Zone) — SMF above accumulation threshold (default: 60). Suggests institutional buying may be occurring.
Distributing (Red Zone) — SMF below distribution threshold (default: 40). Suggests institutional selling may be occurring.
Neutral (Gray Zone) — SMF between thresholds. No clear accumulation or distribution detected.
Divergence Detection
The indicator automatically detects divergences using pivot analysis:
Bullish Divergence — Price makes a lower low while SMF makes a higher low. This suggests selling pressure is weakening despite lower prices—potential reversal signal.
Bearish Divergence — Price makes a higher high while SMF makes a lower high. This suggests buying pressure is weakening despite higher prices—potential reversal signal.
Divergences are marked with "DIV" labels on the chart.

Diagonal Interest Zones ScannerThis indicator automatically scans and plots diagonal (slanted) interest zones – dynamic trend-parallel channels that identify statistically validated support/resistance levels within a trending price structure. It detects the strongest "bounce" zones where price has repeatedly respected slanted lines without breaking for a specified hold period, ideal for trending markets.
How It Works (Technical Methodology)
Trend Channel Detection
The script calculates a linear trend slope from a user-defined anchor point (start of lookback or fixed date) to the current close.
Range is determined by finding the maximum deviation above/below this trend line over the lookback period.
This creates a "channel envelope" capturing the full price oscillation around the trend.
Data can be sourced from current or higher timeframe for structural alignment.
Stable Update Mechanism
To prevent flickering on live bars:
Full recalculation (scanning + slope) occurs only after user-defined "Update Frequency" bars close (default 50).
All calculated values (slope, channel bottom, levels, scores) are "snapshotted" and frozen until next confirmed update.
Drawing uses these stable snapshots, ensuring zones remain fixed during real-time price movement.
Auto Mode Scanning
When enabled:
Scans the channel height in percentage steps (default 1.0%).
Each candidate creates a thin diagonal zone (thickness % of price, default 0.04%) parallel to the trend.
Counts valid "hits": Price touches zone and holds (no break) for user-defined bars (default 10).
Break source: "Close" (strict) or "Wick" (sensitive).
Direction assumed by close relative to zone center (support/resistance).
Level Selection and Filtering
Ranks by hit count, applies minimum distance (% of channel height) to avoid overlap.
Limits to max zones (default 9), sorted low to high.
Manual mode alternative: Directly uses input percentages (e.g., 0, 50, 100 for channel bottom/mid/top).
Diagonal Zone Construction
Zones are drawn as filled diagonal bands using two parallel lines (top/bottom) with linefill.
Thickness is volatility-adjusted (% of current price).
Optional extension far into future or limited projection.
Colors: Supply (above price, default light gray), Demand (below price, default cyan) – updates live but positions stay stable.
Dashboard and Visuals
Table shows current price at each zone (stable during bar), % level, hit count (green if high).
Update countdown displayed for transparency.
How to Use
Perfect for trending markets – identifies dynamic, parallel support/resistance zones that move with price structure.
High hit counts: Strong diagonal zones – expect bounces or acceleration on retest.
Update Frequency: Higher values (100+) for very stable long-term channels; lower for adaptive intraday.
Validation Bars: Increase for stricter zones (fewer false positives).
Multi-Timeframe: Use higher TF input for major trend channels on lower charts.
Supply Zones (Diagonal above price): Dynamic resistance – potential shorts or profit targets.
Demand Zones (Diagonal below price): Dynamic support – potential longs or trailing stops.
Manual Mode: Quick plotting of fixed % (e.g., channel median, quartiles).
Confluence: Combine with horizontal levels, volume, or order flow for entries.
Zones remain visually stable (no repainting during bar) thanks to snapshot logic – reliable for live trading decisions.

VIX Percentile OscillatorWhat is this script?
This is a trading tool that helps you decide when to buy or sell options based on market volatility. Think of it as a "fear meter" for the stock market.
What is VIX?
VIX = Volatility Index (also called the "fear index")
When VIX is HIGH → Market is scared/volatile → Options are EXPENSIVE
When VIX is LOW → Market is calm → Options are CHEAP
What does "Percentile" mean?
Instead of just showing VIX price, this script shows where VIX is compared to history.
Example: If VIX Percentile = 85%
This means VIX is higher than 85% of all past readings
Only 15% of the time was VIX higher than now
Translation: Volatility is unusually HIGH
The 5 Trading Zones
The script divides the market into 5 zones:
🔴 EXTREME SELLING ZONE (90-100%)
VIX is in the top 10% historically
Action: AGGRESSIVELY SELL OPTIONS (collect big premiums)
Market panic = expensive options = profit for sellers
🟠 SELLING ZONE (80-89%)
VIX is elevated but not extreme
Action: SELL OPTIONS (good premiums available)
⚪ NEUTRAL ZONE (20-79%)
VIX is normal
Action: WAIT or use other strategies
🟢 BUYING ZONE (10-19%)
VIX is low
Action: BUY OPTIONS (they're cheap)
🟢 EXTREME BUYING ZONE (0-9%)
VIX is in the bottom 10% historically
Action: AGGRESSIVELY BUY OPTIONS (bargain prices)
Market complacency = cheap options = opportunity
Understanding the Chart
Main Line (Blue/Red/Green):
Shows current VIX percentile
Color changes based on zone
Thick line = easy to see
Histogram (Background bars):
Red bars = above 50% (high volatility)
Green bars = below 50% (low volatility)
Purple Momentum Line:
Shows if VIX is rising or falling
Helps you catch trends early
Background Colors:
Light red/orange = Selling zones
Light green = Buying zones
Triangle Markers:
Appear when entering new zones
"EXTREME" label = strongest signals
The Statistics Table (Top Right)
VIX Price: Current VIX value (e.g., 16.50)
Percentile: Where VIX ranks (0-100%)
Z-Score: Statistical measure
Above +2 or below -2 = extreme
Red text = unusually high/low
Momentum: Rate of change
Red = rising (volatility increasing)
Green = falling (volatility decreasing)
Avg VIX: Average VIX over lookback period
Current Zone: Which zone you're in right now
Bars in Zone: How long you've been in this zone
Simple Trading Rules
FOR OPTION SELLERS (Premium Collectors):
✅ SELL when: Percentile > 80% (especially > 90%)
High premiums available
Examples: Sell covered calls, cash-secured puts, credit spreads
FOR OPTION BUYERS (Hedgers/Speculators):
✅ BUY when: Percentile < 20% (especially < 10%)
Cheap options available
Examples: Buy protective puts, long calls, debit spreads
Key Settings You Can Adjust
Lookback Period (default: 252)
How far back to compare (252 = 1 year of trading days)
Longer = smoother, more stable
Shorter = more sensitive to recent changes
Smoothing Period (default: 3)
Reduces noise/wiggling
Higher = smoother line
Lower = more responsive
Zone Thresholds:
Extreme Sell: 90%
Sell: 80%
Buy: 20%
Extreme Buy: 10%
You can customize these!
Real-World Example
Scenario: VIX Percentile jumps to 92%
What this means:
VIX is higher than 92% of all past readings
Market is in panic mode
Option premiums are INFLATED
Trading Action:
✅ Sell covered calls on stocks you own
✅ Sell cash-secured puts on stocks you want to buy
✅ Sell credit spreads
❌ DON'T buy expensive options right now
Why it works: When fear is extreme, it usually calms down eventually. You profit as premiums deflate.
Important Reminders
⚠️ This is a TIMING tool, not a crystal ball
It tells you WHEN premiums are expensive/cheap
It doesn't tell you WHICH options to trade
You still need proper risk management
⚠️ Works on ALL timeframes
Daily charts = swing trading
Weekly charts = position trading
Intraday charts = day trading volatility
⚠️ Best for:
Option sellers during high VIX (>80%)
Option buyers during low VIX (<20%)
Portfolio hedging decisions
Volatility trading strategies
Bottom Line: This script helps you buy options when they're cheap and sell options when they're expensive. It's like shopping for sales, but for volatility!

Box Theory [Interactive Zones] PyraTimeThis script combines Nicholas Darvas’s "Box Theory" with modern Supply and Demand (Premium/Discount) concepts. It automatically identifies the most recent Swing High and Swing Low to delineate the current trading range.
The purpose of this tool is to visualize market structure and help traders identify when price is relatively expensive (Premium) or cheap (Discount) within a defined range.
Visual Guide: What You Are Seeing
The Box: Represents the active trading range defined by the most recent significant Swing High and Swing Low.
Red Zone (Premium): The top 25% of the range. Mathematically, prices here are considered "expensive" relative to the current structure.
Green Zone (Discount): The bottom 25% of the range. Prices here are considered "cheap" relative to the current structure.
Grey Zone (Equilibrium): The middle 50% of the range. This is the area of fair value where price often consolidates.
Dashed Line (EQ): The exact 50% midpoint of the range.
Tutorial: How to Trade Using This Indicator
Method 1: Mean Reversion (Range Trading) This method applies when the market is moving sideways.
Identify Structure: Wait for a box to form.
Wait for Extremes: Do not trade when price is in the middle (Grey/White area). Wait for price to enter the Red or Green zones.
Entry Trigger:
Shorts: When price enters the Red Zone, look for a rejection (wicks leaving the zone) or a lower timeframe breakdown. Target the EQ (Midline) as your first take profit.
Longs: When price enters the Green Zone, look for support formation. Target the EQ (Midline) as your first take profit.
Method 2: Trend Continuation (Breakouts) This method applies when the market is trending strongly.
Breakout: Monitor the alerts. A close outside the box indicates a potential shift in market structure.
Retest: After a breakout up, the old "Red Zone" (Resistance) often flips to become new Support. Wait for price to pull back to the top of the old box before entering.
Configuration Guide (Settings)
Pivot Left/Right Bars (Sensitivity):
Default (20/20): Best for Swing Trading. It filters out market noise and only draws boxes based on major structural points.
Lower (5/5): Best for Scalping. It will create smaller, more frequent boxes but increases the risk of false signals.
Zone Percentage:
Default (25%): Standard deviation for Supply/Demand zones.
Alternative (15%): Use this for "sniping" entries at the absolute extremes of the range.
Multi-Timeframe (MTF):
Enable "Use Higher Timeframe" to see Daily or Weekly ranges while trading on lower timeframes (like the 15m or 1H). This helps keep your intraday trades aligned with the major trend.
Technical Note on "Lag" This indicator uses Pivots to draw the box. A pivot is only confirmed after a certain number of bars have passed (the "Pivot Right Bars" setting).
Example: If "Pivot Right Bars" is set to 20, the box will update 20 bars after the actual high or low occurred. This is necessary to confirm that the point was indeed a Swing High/Low. Do not treat the box lines as predictive; they are reactive to confirmed structure.
Advanced Multi-Level S/R ZonesAdvanced Multi-Level S/R Zones: The Comprehensive Guide
1. Introduction: The Evolution of Support & Resistance:
Support and Resistance (S/R) is the backbone of technical analysis. However, traditional methods of drawing these levels are often plagued by subjectivity. Two traders looking at the same chart will often draw two different lines. Furthermore, standard indicators often treat every price point equally, ignoring the critical context of Volume and Time.
The Advanced Multi-Level S/R Zones script represents a paradigm shift. It moves away from subjective line drawing and toward Quantitative Zoning. By utilizing statistical measures of variability (Standard Deviation, MAD, IQR) combined with Volume-Weighting and Time-Decay algorithms, this tool identifies where price is mathematically most likely to react. It treats S/R not as thin lines, but as dynamic zones of probability.
2. Core Logic and Mathematical Foundation:
To understand how to use this tool optimally, one must understand the "engine" under the hood. The script operates on four distinct pillars of logic:
A. Session-Based Data Collection:
The script does not look at every single tick. Instead, it aggregates data into "Sessions" (daily bars by default logic). It extracts the High, Low, and Total Volume for every session within the user-defined lookback period. This filters out intraday noise and focuses on the macro structure of the market.
B. Adaptive Statistical Variability:
Most Bollinger Band-style indicators use Standard Deviation (StdDev) to measure width. However, StdDev is heavily influenced by outliers (extreme wicks). This script offers a sophisticated Adaptive Method-Skewness Detection: The script calculates the skewness of the price distribution. Adaptive Selection: If the data is highly skewed (lots of outliers, typical in Crypto), it switches to MAD (Median Absolute Deviation). MAD is robust and ignores outliers. If the data is moderately skewed, it uses IQR (Interquartile Range). If the data is normal (Gaussian), it uses StdDev.
Benefit: This ensures the zone widths are accurate regardless of whether you are trading a stable Forex pair or a volatile Altcoin.
C. The Weighting Engine (Volume + Time)
Not all price history is equal. This script assigns a "Weight Score" to every session based on two factors:
Volume Weighting: Sessions with massive volume (institutional activity) are given higher importance. A high formed on low volume is less significant than a high formed on peak volume.
Time Decay: Recent price action is more relevant than price action from 50 bars ago. The script applies a decay factor (default 0.85). This means a session from yesterday has 100% impact, while a session from 10 days ago has significantly less influence on the zone calculation.
D. Clustering Algorithm
Once the data is weighted, the script runs a clustering algorithm. It looks for price levels where multiple session Highs (for Resistance) or Lows (for Support) congregate.
It requires a minimum number of points to form a zone (User Input: minPoints).
It merges nearby levels based on the Cluster Separation Factor.
This results in "Primary," "Secondary," and "Tertiary" zones based on the strength and quantity of data points in that cluster.
3. Detailed Features and Inputs Breakdown:
Group 1: Main Settings
Lookback Sessions (Default: 10): Defines how far back the script looks for pivots. A higher number (e.g., 50) creates long-term structural zones. A lower number (e.g., 5) creates short-term scalping zones.
Variability Method (Adaptive): As described above, leave this on "Adaptive" for the best results across different assets.
Zone Width Multiplier (Default: 0.75): Controls the vertical thickness of the zones. Increase this to 1.0 or 1.5 for highly volatile assets to ensure you catch the wicks.
Minimum Points per Zone: The strictness filter. If set to 3, a price level must be hit 3 times within the lookback to generate a zone. Higher numbers = fewer, but stronger zones.
Group 2: Weighting
Volume-Weighted Zones: Crucial for identifying "Smart Money" levels. Keep this TRUE.
Time Decay: Ensures the zones update dynamically. If price moves away from a level for a long time, the zone will fade in significance.
ATR-Normalized Zone Width: This is a dynamic volatility filter. If TRUE, the zone width expands and contracts based on the Average True Range. This is vital for maintaining accuracy during market breakouts or crashes.
Group 3: Zone Strength & Scoring
The script calculates a "Score" (0-100%) for every zone based on:
-Point Count: More hits = higher score.
-Touches: How many times price wicked into the zone recently.
-Intact Status: Has the zone been broken?
-Weight: Volume/Time weight of the constituent points.
-Track Zone Touches: Looks back n bars to see how often price respected this level.
-Touch Threshold: The sensitivity for counting a "touch."
Group 4: Visuals & Display
Extend Bars: How far to the right the boxes are drawn.
Show Labels: Displays the Score, Tier (Primary/Secondary), and Status (Retesting).
Detect Pivot Zones (Overlap): This is a killer feature. It detects where a Support Zone overlaps with a Resistance Zone.
Significance: These are "Flip Zones" (Old Resistance becomes New Support). They are colored differently (Orange by default) and represent high-probability entry areas.
Group 5: Signals & Alerts
Entry Signals: Plots Buy/Sell labels when price rejects a zone.
Detect Break & Retest: specifically looks for the "Break -> Pullback -> Bounce" pattern, labeled as "RETEST BUY/SELL".
Proximity Alert: Triggers when price gets within x% of a zone.
4. Understanding the Visuals (Interpreting the Chart)
When you load the script, you will see several visual elements. Here is how to read them:
The Boxes (Zones)
Red Shades: Resistance Zones.
Dark Red (Solid Border): Primary Resistance. The strongest wall.
Lighter Red (Dashed Border): Secondary/Tertiary. Weaker, but still relevant.
Green Shades: Support Zones.
Dark Green (Solid Border): Primary Support. The strongest floor.
Orange Boxes: Pivot Zones. These are areas where price has historically reacted as both support and resistance. These are the "Line in the Sand" for trend direction.
The Labels & Emojis
The script assigns emojis to zone strength:
🔥 (Fire): Score > 80%. A massive level. Expect a strong reaction.
⭐ (Star): Score > 60%. A solid structural level.
✓ (Check): Score > 40%. A standard level.
"⟳ RETESTING": Appears when a zone was broken, and price is currently pulling back to test it from the other side.
The Dashboard (Top Right)
A statistics table provides a "Head-Up Display" for the asset:
High/Low σ (Sigma): The variability of the highs and lows. If High σ is much larger than Low σ, it implies the tops are erratic (wicks) while bottoms are clean (flat).
Method: Shows which statistical method the Adaptive engine selected (e.g., "MAD (auto)").
ATR: Current volatility value used for normalization.
5. Strategies for Optimum Output
To get the most out of this script, you should not just blindly follow the lines. Use these specific strategies:
Strategy A: The "Zone Fade" (Range Trading)
This works best in sideways markets.
Identify a Primary Support (Green) and Primary Resistance (Red).
Wait for price to enter the zone.
Look for the "SUPPORT BOUNCE" or "RESISTANCE REJECTION" signal label.
Entry: Enter against the zone (Buy at support, Sell at resistance).
Stop Loss: Place just outside the zone width. Because the zones are calculated using volatility stats, a break of the zone usually means the trade is invalid.
Strategy B: The "Pivot Flip" (Trend Following)
This is the highest probability setup in trending markets.
Look for an Orange Pivot Zone.
Wait for price to break through a Resistance Zone cleanly.
Wait for the price to return to that zone (which may now turn Orange or act as Support).
Look for the "RETEST BUY" label.
Logic: Old resistance becoming new support is a classic sign of trend continuation. The script automates the detection of this exact geometric phenomenon.
Strategy C: The Volatility Squeeze
Look at the Dashboard. Compare High σ and Low σ.
If the values are dropping rapidly or becoming very small, the zones will contract (become narrow).
Narrow zones indicate a "Squeeze" or compression in price.
Prepare for a violent breakout. Do not fade (trade against) narrow zones; look to trade the breakout.
6. Optimization & Customization Guide
Different markets require different settings. Here is how to tune the script:
For Crypto & Volatile Stocks (Tesla, Nvidia)
Method: Set to Adaptive (Mandatory, as these assets have "Fat Tails").
Multiplier: Increase to 1.0 - 1.25. Crypto wicks are deep; you need wider zones to avoid getting stopped out prematurely.
Lookback: 20-30 sessions. Crypto has a long memory; short lookbacks generate too much noise.
For Forex (EURUSD, GBPJPY)
Method: You can force StdDev or IQR. Forex is more mean-reverting and Gaussian.
Multiplier: Decrease to 0.5 - 0.75. Forex levels are often very precise to the pip.
Volume Weighting: You may turn this OFF for Forex if your broker's volume data is unreliable (since Forex has no centralized volume), though tick volume often works fine.
For Scalping (1m - 15m Timeframes)
Lookback: Decrease to 5-10. You only care about the immediate session history.
Decay Factor: Decrease to 0.5. You want the script to forget about yesterday's price action very quickly.
Touch Lookback: Decrease to 20 bars.
For Swing Trading (4H - Daily Timeframes)
Lookback: Increase to 50.
Decay Factor: Increase to 0.95. Structural levels from weeks ago are still highly relevant.
Min Points: Increase to 3 or 4. Only show levels that have been tested multiple times.
7. Advantages Over Standard Tools:
Feature Standard S/R Indicator, Advanced Multi-Level S/R Calculation, Uses simple Pivots or Fractals, Uses Statistical Distributions (MAD/IQR). Zone Width Arbitrary or Fixed Adaptive based on Volatility & ATR.
Context Ignores Volume Volume Weighted (Smart Money tracking).
Time Relevance Old levels = New levels Time Decay (Recency bias applied).
Overlaps Usually ignores overlaps Detects Pivot Zones (Res/Sup Flip).
Scoring None 0-100% Strength Score per zone.
8. Conclusion:
The Advanced Multi-Level S/R Zones script is not just a drawing tool; it is a statistical analysis engine. By accounting for the skewness of data, the volume behind the moves, and the decay of time, it provides a strictly objective roadmap of the market structure.
For the optimum output, combine the Pivot Zone identification with the Retest Signals. This aligns you with the underlying flow of order blocks and prevents trading against the statistical probabilities of the market.
