MTF RSI Heatmap)# MTF RSI Heatmap — v2.7.2
**Hybrid Higher-TF Trend + Intraday Impulse Detection + Smart Counters & Alerts**
Turn your lower pane into a **multi-timeframe market bias dashboard**. This heatmap blends classic RSI momentum with a **hybrid Daily/Weekly MA-stack trend** and an **intraday impulse override** that flags fast moves *as they happen*. Clean, configurable, and built for real trading flow.
---
## What it shows
* **6 stacked rows = 6 timeframes** (bottom → top).
* **Colors**: Green = Bull, Red = Bear, Yellow = Neutral.
* **Header counter**: `Bull X/6 | Bear Y/6` = live agreement across visible rows.
* **Impulse markers** ▲/▼ on intraday rows (5m/15m/60m/240m) when a shock move triggers.
* **Signal bar**: A thin column above the top row when at least **N of 6** rows align (configurable).
---
## Why it’s different
* **Impulse Override (intraday)**
Detects sharp moves using % change over the last *N* bars, optionally gated by **volume > SMA × multiplier**. This catches dumps/pops earlier than RSI alone.
* **Hybrid D/W (structure over noise)**
Daily/Weekly rows can use an **MA stack (8/21/55)** instead of RSI for a more stable higher-timeframe trend read. Optional **price > fast MA** filter for stricter confirmation.
* **Intrabar option**
Flip rows **during the bar** for early reads (accepting repaint on TF close), or keep it close-only for no surprises.
---
## Key features
* 🌈 **Theme**: Classic or High-Contrast colors.
* 🧠 **RSI thresholds**: Bull above 55, Bear below 45 (editable).
* 🧲 **RSI smoothing** (EMA) for intraday rows to reduce flicker.
* 🧰 **Compact left legend** with adjustable text size & opacity.
* 🚨 **Alerts**:
* **Impulse-only** (per TF and “any intraday”)
* **N-of-6 confirmation** (bull/bear)
---
## Recommended settings (fast opens & news)
* **Impulse**: `Bars = 1–2`, `Threshold = 0.25–0.35%`, `Vol confirm = ON`, `Multiplier = 1.3–1.5`.
* **Hybrid D/W**: `ON`, `EMA 8/21/55`, `Price filter = ON`.
* **Intrabar**: `ON` if you want intra-bar updates (repaints at TF close).
---
## How to read it
1. **Row scan**: Are the bottom (fast) rows aligning first? That’s early momentum.
2. **Header counter**: Look for 4+/6 agreement as momentum broadens.
3. **Signal bar**: Acts as a “go/no-go” confirmation when your threshold is met.
4. **Impulse ▲/▼**: Use as a **heads-up** for acceleration; then watch if rows cascade in that direction.
---
## Alerts (exact names)
Create alerts with these built-ins:
* **Impulse UP — any intraday**
* **Impulse DOWN — any intraday**
* **Impulse UP — TF1 / TF2 / TF3 / TF4**
* **Impulse DOWN — TF1 / TF2 / TF3 / TF4**
* **Bull confirmation** (N-of-6)
* **Bear confirmation** (N-of-6)
Tip: Use **Once per bar** or **Once per bar close** depending on whether you enabled *Intrabar*.
---
## Inputs overview
* **Timeframes & visibility** per row.
* **RSI**: length, bull/bear thresholds, optional EMA smoothing (intraday only).
* **Impulse**: bars, %, volume confirm, SMA length, multiplier, markers.
* **Hybrid D/W**: MA type (EMA/SMA/HMA), 8/21/55 lengths, price filter.
* **Theme & Legend**: color theme, label size (Tiny/Small/Normal), legend opacity.
* **Signal**: N required for confirmation (default 4).
---
## Pro tips
* Combine with **session opens**, **VWAP**, and **liquidity levels**.
* If you trade breakouts, let **impulse triggers** cue attention, then wait for **N-of-6** confirmation.
* For swing bias, lean on **Hybrid D/W**—it changes slower, but with intent.
---
## Notes & limitations
* **Intrabar = repaint expected** on higher-TF closes—by design for earlier context.
* Colors/thresholds are general guidance, not signals by themselves.
* Past performance ≠ future results; **this is not financial advice**.

Micro SuiteWhat it is: One Pine v5 indicator that stacks several tools: EMA ribbon + a color-flipping 11/34 EMA trend line, multi-timeframe RSI pressure arrows, and a Bollinger Band re-entry system that marks Top/Bottom triggers (T/B) and later “r” confirmations. It also sprinkles in 3-Line Strike, Leledc exhaustion dots, and a small “Micro Dots” engine (ATR regime + VMA filter). Alerts for all of it.
TradingView
The core signals you’ll actually use:
RSI arrows: Up arrow when current RSI(6) < 30 and selected higher-TF RSIs are also < 30; down arrow when > 70 cluster cools. Idea = stacked OB/OS “pressure.”
TradingView
Bollinger re-entry (T/B + r):
T = first close back inside upper band; B = first close back inside lower band.
r = confirmation within N bars (price takes out the trigger bar’s high/low). These bars tint so they’re easy to see.
TradingView
Trend filter: EMA-11 vs EMA-34 color flip + optional VMA trend line; helps you ignore counter-trend stabs.
TradingView
Quick playbook (how to read it):
Reversal short: See a T near the top band → get the r within your window → bonus if a down RSI arrow or a Leledc high dot shows up.
Reversal long: Mirror that with B → r, plus an up RSI arrow/Leledc low dot.
Continuation: If Micro Dot stays green (or red) and 11>34 EMA holds, ignore isolated T/B traps.
TradingView
Inputs that matter:
confirmBars for the T/B “r” window.
Which higher-TF RSIs must agree for arrows.
Show/hide and lengths for EMAs and BB.
Micro block: show dots, VMA line, and speed (Fast/Med/Slow).
TradingView
Why people like it: You get trend, momentum, and mean-revert cues on one pane with ready-made alerts, so it’s easier to build a ruleset (e.g., “only take B→r longs when 11>34 and there’s an RSI up arrow”).
TradingView
Caveats: It’s still just TA—OB/OS clusters can persist in trends; confirmations can miss V-shaped turns; and stacking signals can be late in fast markets. Pair it with risk rules (fixed R, ATR stops) and a higher-TF bias.
One-liner cheat sheet:
Longs: B → r + RSI up arrow + 11>34 (optional Micro Dot green).
Shorts: T → r + RSI down arrow + 11<34 (optional Micro Dot red).

HM2 - Murrey Math Levels# Murrey Math Indicator - Comprehensive Description
## **What is Murrey Math?**
Murrey Math is a trading system developed by T.H. Murrey that divides price action into 8 equal segments (octaves) based on Gann and geometry principles. It automatically identifies key support and resistance levels where price is likely to react, making it a powerful tool for determining entry/exit points and price targets.
## **How It Works**
The indicator:
1. **Analyzes price history** over a lookback period (default 64-200 bars)
2. **Finds the highest high and lowest low** in that period
3. **Calculates a "fractal"** - a geometric scaling factor based on price magnitude
4. **Creates 8 equal divisions** between key levels, plus 4 overshoot levels (total 13 levels)
5. **Labels each level** from -2/8 to +2/8 with their trading significance
## **The 13 Murrey Math Levels**
### **Core Levels (0/8 to 8/8):**
- ** - Ultimate Support** (Blue)
- Extreme oversold condition
- Strong buying opportunity
- Price rarely breaks below this
- ** - Weak, Stall & Reverse** (Orange)
- Weak support level
- Price often stalls and reverses here
- ** - Pivot/Reverse Level** (Red)
- Major support that can become resistance
- Important reversal zone
- ** - Bottom of Trading Range - BUY Zone** (Green)
- Bottom boundary of normal trading
- **Premium BUY zone** - 40% of trading happens between 3/8 and 5/8
- ** - Major Support/Resistance** (Blue)
- **THE MOST IMPORTANT LEVEL**
- The midpoint - best entry/exit level
- Strong pivot point that price respects
- ** - Top of Trading Range - SELL Zone** (Green)
- Top boundary of normal trading
- **Premium SELL zone**
- ** - Pivot/Reverse Level** (Red)
- Major resistance that can become support
- Important reversal zone
- ** - Weak, Stall & Reverse** (Orange)
- Weak resistance level
- Price often stalls and reverses here
- ** - Ultimate Resistance** (Blue)
- Extreme overbought condition
- Strong selling opportunity
- Price rarely breaks above this
### **Overshoot Levels:**
- ** & ** (Gray) - Extreme downside overshoot zones
- ** & ** (Gray) - Extreme upside overshoot zones
- These indicate extreme moves beyond normal trading ranges
## **Trading Zones (from your diagram)**
1. **Consolidation Trading Area** (0/8 to 3/8)
- Price is in a bearish zone
- Look for BUY opportunities near support levels
2. **Normal Trading Area** (3/8 to 5/8)
- **40% of trading occurs here**
- Price oscillates between these boundaries
- Range-bound trading strategies work best
3. **Premium Trading Area** (5/8 to 8/8)
- Price is in a bullish zone
- Look for SELL opportunities near resistance levels
## **Trading Strategies**
### **Buy Signals:**
- Price bounces off 0/8 (ultimate support)
- Price pulls back to 3/8 in an uptrend
- Price breaks above 4/8 after consolidation
### **Sell Signals:**
- Price rejects at 8/8 (ultimate resistance)
- Price rallies to 5/8 in a downtrend
- Price breaks below 4/8 after consolidation
### **Range Trading:**
- Buy near 3/8, sell near 5/8 when price is ranging
- Use 4/8 as the pivot to determine trend direction
## **Key Advantages**
✅ **Objective levels** - No subjective placement
✅ **Self-adjusting** - Automatically recalculates based on recent price action
✅ **Clear trading zones** - Easy to identify support/resistance
✅ **Works on all timeframes** - From 1-minute to monthly charts
✅ **Combines with other indicators** - Works well with RSI, MACD, etc.
## **Important Notes**
- The indicator is **dynamic** - levels update as new highs/lows form
- **4/8 is the most critical level** - price above = bullish, below = bearish
- When price reaches overshoot levels (±1/8, ±2/8), expect strong reversals
- Works best in trending markets; can give false signals in choppy conditions
This geometric approach to support/resistance has been used by traders for decades and remains popular due to its objective, mathematical nature!

8 SMA Bands (Points)The "8 SMA Bands (Points)" indicator creates a set of eight Simple Moving Average (SMA) bands with adjustable offsets, overlaid on a price chart.
Here’s a breakdown:
Purpose: It tracks price trends using multiple SMAs of varying lengths (default 25, 50, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600 periods) and adds upper and lower bands around each SMA based on point offsets, helping identify potential support, resistance, and trend strength.
Key Components:
SMAs: Eight SMAs are calculated using closing prices with lengths ranging from 25 to 1600 periods. Each SMA is plotted with a distinct color and line thickness (e.g., MA 1 is blue, MA 8 is white with thicker lines).
Bands: For each SMA, upper and lower bands are created by adding or subtracting a point-based offset (suggestions are to use default Murray Math based numbers e.g., 0.305176 for MA 1, 39.062528 for MA 8) multiplied by a global multiplier (default 1.0). These offsets define the band width and are customizable.
Customization: Users can adjust SMA lengths, offset points, colors, and the global multiplier via input settings grouped by each MA.
Visuals: SMAs are plotted as solid lines with increasing thickness for longer periods (e.g., MA 6–8 use thicker lines or circles).
Bands are plotted as semi-transparent lines matching the SMA color, with longer-term bands (MA 6–7) using a different style for emphasis.
Usage: The indicator helps traders visualize trend direction (upward if price is above most SMAs, downward if below) and potential reversal zones where price interacts with band boundaries.
The flattening or crossing of bands can signal momentum shifts. The coming together of multiple envelope tops/bottoms can signal reversal zones of various degrees based on how many envelopes come together. More envelopes converging mean a more significant top or bottom.
This indicator is particularly useful for identifying multi-timeframe trends and volatility zones on assets like Gold Futures, with flexibility to fine-tune based on market conditions.
Stoch + RSI DashboardIndicator Description
MTF Stochastic + RSI Dashboard FLEX with STRONG Alerts
A compact, multi-timeframe dashboard that shows Stochastic %K/%D, RSI and signal states across user-defined timeframes. Columns can be toggled on/off to keep the panel as small as you need.

• Timeframes are displayed as friendly labels (e.g., 60 → 1h, W → 1w, 3D → 3d).
Signals & logic
• Bullish/Bearish when %K and %D show a sufficient gap (or an optional confirmed cross).
• Strong Bullish when both %K and %D are below the “Strong Bullish max” threshold.
• Strong Bearish when both %K and %D are above the “Strong Bearish min” threshold.
• Optional confirmation: RSI < 30 for Strong Bullish, RSI > 70 for Strong Bearish.
Alerts
• Global alerts for any selected timeframes when a STRONG BULLISH or STRONG BEARISH event occurs.
Key options
• Column visibility toggles (TF, %K, %D, Signal, RSI, RSI Status).
• Custom signal texts & colors.
• Dashboard position: top-left / top-right / bottom-left / bottom-right.
• Table background color + opacity (0 = opaque, 100 = fully transparent).

Validated Order Blocks with Fib LevelsThis indicator automatically identifies and displays Smart Money Concepts (SMC) order blocks based on market structure breaks:
How it works:
Bearish Order Blocks (Red): Marks the last bullish candle before a swing high. The OB becomes valid when price breaks below the previous swing low, indicating institutional selling zones. Drawn from the candle's close (body top) to its low (bottom wick).
Bullish Order Blocks (Green): Marks the last bearish candle before a swing low. The OB becomes valid when price breaks above the previous swing high, indicating institutional buying zones. Drawn from the candle's high (top wick) to its close (body bottom).
Features:
Three Fibonacci retracement levels (50%, 75%, 100%) for each order block
Fib 100% faces downward on bearish OBs and upward on bullish OBs
Auto-validation: OBs are removed when price closes through them
Customizable: Adjustable swing detection, timeframe selection, and OB display limits
Optional Break of Structure (BOS) markers to show when OBs activate
Works on any timeframe with HTF analysis support
Perfect for identifying key institutional support/resistance zones and potential reversal areas.
Volume Percentile Supertrend [BackQuant]Volume Percentile Supertrend
A volatility and participation aware Supertrend that automatically widens or tightens its bands based on where current volume sits inside its recent distribution. The goal is simple: fewer whipsaws when activity surges, faster reaction when the tape is quiet.
What it does
Calculates a standard Supertrend framework from an ATR on a volume weighted price source.
Measures current volume against its recent percentile and converts that context into a dynamic ATR multiplier.
Widens bands when volume is unusually high to reduce chop. Tightens bands when volume is unusually low to catch turns earlier.
Paints candles, draws the active Supertrend line and optional bands, and prints clear Long and Short signal markers.
Why volume percentile
Fixed ATR multipliers assume all bars are equal. They are not. When participation spikes, price swings expand and a static band gets sliced.
Percentiles place the current bar inside a recent distribution. If volume is in the top slice, the Supertrend allows more room. If volume is in the bottom slice, it expects smaller noise and tightens.
This keeps the same playbook usable across busy sessions and sleepy ones without constant manual retuning.
How it works
Volume distribution - A rolling window computes the Pth percentile of volume. Above that is flagged as high volume. A lower reference percentile marks quiet bars.
Dynamic multiplier - Start from a Base Multiplier. If bar is high volume, scale it up by a function of volume-to-average and a Sensitivity knob. If bar is low volume, scale it down. Smooth the result with an EMA to avoid jitter.
VWMA source - The price input for bands is a short volume weighted moving average of close. Heavy prints matter more.
ATR envelope - Compute ATR on your length. UpperBasic = VWMA + Multiplier x ATR. LowerBasic = VWMA - Multiplier x ATR.
Trailing logic - The final lines trail price so they only move in a direction that preserves Supertrend behavior. This prevents sudden flips from transient pokes.
Direction and signals - Direction flips when price crosses through the relevant trailing line. SupertrendLong and SupertrendShort mark those flips. The plotted Supertrend is the active trailing side.
Inputs and what they change
Volume Lookback - Window for percentile and average. Larger window = stabler percentile, smaller = snappier.
Volume Percentile Level - Threshold that defines high volume. Example 70 means top 30 percent of recent bars are treated as high activity.
Volume Sensitivity - Gain from volume ratio to the dynamic multiplier. Higher = bands expand more when volume spikes.
VWMA Source Length - Smoothing of the volume weighted price source for the bands.
ATR Length - Standard ATR window. Larger = slower, smaller = quicker.
Base Multiplier - Core band width before volume adjustment. Think of this as your neutral volatility setting.
Multiplier Smoothing - EMA on the dynamic multiplier. Reduces back and forth changes when volume oscillates around the threshold.
Show Supertrend on chart - Toggles the active line.
Show Upper Lower Bands - Draws both sides even when inactive. Good for context.
Paint candles according to Trend - Colors bars by trend direction.
Show Long and Short Signals - Prints 𝕃 and 𝕊 markers at flips.
Colors - Choose your long and short palette.
Reading the plot
Supertrend line - Thick line that hugs price from above in downtrends and from below in uptrends. Its distance breathes with volume.
Bands - Optional upper and lower rails. Useful to see the inactive side and judge how wide the envelope is right now.
Signals - 𝕃 prints when the trend flips long. 𝕊 prints when the trend flips short.
Candle colors - Quick bias read at a glance when painting is enabled.
Typical workflows
Trend following - Use 𝕃 flips to initiate longs and ride while bars remain colored long and price respects the lower trailing line. Mirror for shorts with 𝕊 and the upper trailing line. During high volume phases the line will give more room, which helps stay in the move.
Pullback adds - In an established trend, shallow tags toward the active line after a high volume expansion can be add points. The dynamic envelope adjusts to the session so your add distance is not fixed to a stale volatility regime.
Mean reversion filter - In quiet tape the multiplier contracts and flips come earlier. If you prefer fading, watch for quick toggles around the bands when volume percentile remains low. In high volume, avoid fading into the widened line unless you have other strong reasons.
Notes on behavior
High volume bar: the percentile gate opens, volRatio > 1 powers up the multiplier through the Sensitivity lever, bands widen, fewer false flips.
Low volume bar: multiplier contracts, bands tighten, flips can happen earlier which is useful when you want to catch regime changes in quiet conditions.
Smoothing matters: both the price source (VWMA) and the multiplier are smoothed to keep structure readable while still adapting.
Quick checklist
If you see frequent chop and today feels busy: check that volume is above your percentile. Wider bands are expected. Consider letting the trend prove itself against the expanded line before acting.
If everything feels slow and you want earlier entries: percentile likely marks low volume, so bands tighten and 𝕃 or 𝕊 can appear sooner.
If you want more or fewer flips overall: adjust Base Multiplier first. If you want more reaction specifically tied to volume surges: raise Volume Sensitivity. If the envelope breathes too fast: raise Multiplier Smoothing.
What the signals mean
SupertrendLong - Direction changed from non-long to long. 𝕃 marker prints. The active line switches to support below price.
SupertrendShort - Direction changed from non-short to short. 𝕊 marker prints. The active line switches to resistance above price.
Trend color - Bars painted long or short help validate context for entries and management.
Summary
Volume Percentile Supertrend adapts the classic Supertrend to the day you are trading. Volume percentile sets the mood, sensitivity translates it into dynamic band width, and smoothing keeps it clean. The result is a single plot that aims to stay conservative when the tape is loud and act decisively when it is quiet, without you having to constantly retune settings.
HTF Control Shift CandlesHTF Control Shift Candles highlights reversal-type candles that show a decisive shift in market control between buyers and sellers. These candles are detected by measuring wick length relative to the entire range and the close’s position within that range. A bullish control shift occurs when a candle forms with a long lower wick and closes in the top portion of its range, showing strong rejection of lower prices and a buyer takeover. A bearish control shift occurs when a candle forms with a long upper wick and closes in the bottom portion of its range, showing rejection of higher prices and a seller takeover. Candles are automatically recolored for fast visual recognition, and alerts are built in so traders never miss a potential shift in control.
This tool is specifically designed for 30-minute and higher timeframes, where control shift candles carry greater significance for swing and intraday setups. Inputs allow you to adjust wick percentage (wickPct) and body percentage (bodyPct) thresholds for different levels of sensitivity. For example, with wickPct = 0.5 and bodyPct = 0.3, a bullish control shift requires the lower wick to be at least 50% of the entire range and the close to finish in the top 30%. By tuning these values, traders can refine the detection for different volatility regimes or personal trading strategies.
Bar Close Confirmation Only
This indicator confirms signals only after the candle has closed. The calculation requires final values for open, high, low, and close, which are not fixed until the bar finishes forming. That means no mid-bar or intrabar repainting — alerts and highlights trigger only once the bar is complete. For example, if a candle temporarily has a long lower wick but closes back in the middle of its range, it will not be marked as a bullish control shift. This ensures accuracy by waiting for the final candle close before confirming that buyers or sellers truly maintained control.
Control shift candles can be especially useful around liquidity sweeps, support/resistance zones, or after extended moves, as they often mark key turning points. A bullish control shift near demand may provide an early entry confirmation for longs, while a bearish control shift at supply may signal short opportunities or exits from longs. This makes the indicator a versatile tool for anticipating reversals, timing entries with precision, and filtering signals on higher timeframes where market structure shifts are most impactful.
Trend Fib Zone Bounce (TFZB) [KedArc Quant]Description:
Trend Fib Zone Bounce (TFZB) trades with the latest confirmed Supply/Demand zone using a single, configurable Fib pullback (0.3/0.5/0.6). Trade only in the direction of the most recent zone and use a single, configurable fib level for pullback entries.
• Detects market structure via confirmed swing highs/lows using a rolling window.
• Draws Supply/Demand zones (bearish/bullish rectangles) from the latest MSS (CHOCH or BOS) event.
• Computes intra zone Fib guide rails and keeps them extended in real time.
• Triggers BUY only inside bullish zones and SELL only inside bearish zones when price touches the selected fib and closes back beyond it (bounce confirmation).
• Optional labels print BULL/BEAR + fib next to the triangle markers.
What it does
Finds structure using confirmed swing highs/lows (you choose the confirmation length).
Builds the latest zone (bullish = demand, bearish = supply) after a CHOCH/BOS event.
Draws intra-zone “guide rails” (Fib lines) and extends them live.
Signals only with the trend of that zone:
BUY inside a bullish zone when price tags the selected Fib and closes back above it.
SELL inside a bearish zone when price tags the selected Fib and closes back below it.
Optional labels print BULL/BEAR + Fib next to triangles for quick context
Why this is different
Most “zone + fib + signal” tools bolt together several indicators, or fire counter-trend signals because they don’t fully respect structure. TFZB is intentionally minimal:
Single bias source: the latest confirmed zone defines direction; nothing else overrides it.
Single entry rule: one Fib bounce (0.3/0.5/0.6 selectable) inside that zone—no counter-trend trades by design.
Clean visuals: you can show only the most recent zone, clamp overlap, and keep just the rails that matter.
Deterministic & transparent: every plot/label comes from the code you see—no external series or hidden smoothing
How it helps traders
Cuts decision noise: you always know the bias and the only entry that matters right now.
Forces discipline: if price isn’t inside the active zone, you don’t trade.
Adapts to volatility: pick 0.3 in strong trends, 0.5 as the default, 0.6 in chop.
Non-repainting zones: swings are confirmed after Structure Length bars, then used to build zones that extend forward (they don’t “teleport” later)
How it works (details)
*Structure confirmation
A swing high/low is only confirmed after Structure Length bars have elapsed; the dot is plotted back on the original bar using offset. Expect a confirmation delay of about Structure Length × timeframe.
*Zone creation
After a CHOCH/BOS (momentum shift / break of prior swing), TFZB draws the new Supply/Demand zone from the swing anchors and sets it active.
*Fib guide rails
Inside the active zone TFZB projects up to five Fib lines (defaults: 0.3 / 0.5 / 0.7) and extends them as time passes.
*Entry logic (with-trend only)
BUY: bar’s low ≤ fib and close > fib inside a bullish zone.
SELL: bar’s high ≥ fib and close < fib inside a bearish zone.
*Optionally restrict to one signal per zone to avoid over-trading.
(Optional) Aggressive confirm-bar entry
When do the swing dots print?
* The code confirms a swing only after `structureLen` bars have elapsed since that candidate high/low.
* On a 5-min chart with `structureLen = 10`, that’s about 50 minutes later.
* When the swing confirms, the script plots the dot back on the original bar (via `offset = -structureLen`). So you *see* the dot on the old bar, but it only appears on the chart once the confirming bar arrives.
> Practical takeaway: expect swing markers to appear roughly `structureLen × timeframe` later. Zones and signals are built from those confirmed swings.
Best timeframe for this Indicator
Use the timeframe that matches your holding period and the noise level of the instrument:
* Intraday :
* 5m or 15m are the sweet spots.
* Suggested `structureLen`:
* 5m: 10–14 (confirmation delay \~50–70 min)
* 15m: 8–10 (confirmation delay \~2–2.5 hours)
* Keep Entry Fib at 0.5 to start; try 0.3 in strong trends, 0.6 in chop.
* Tip: avoid the first 10–15 minutes after the open; let the initial volatility set the early structure.
* Swing/overnight:
* 1h or 4h.
* `structureLen`:
* 1h: 6–10 (6–10 hours confirmation)
* 4h: 5–8 (20–32 hours confirmation)
* 1m scalping: not recommended here—the confirmation lag relative to the noise makes zones less reliable.
Inputs (all groups)
Structure
• Show Swing Points (structureTog)
o Plots small dots on the bar where a swing point is confirmed (offset back by Structure Length).
• Structure Length (structureLen)
o Lookback used to confirm swing highs/lows and determine local structure. Higher = fewer, stronger swings; lower = more reactive.
Zones
• Show Last (zoneDispNum)
o Maximum number of zones kept on the chart when Display All Zones is off.
• Display All Zones (dispAll)
o If on, ignores Show Last and keeps all zones/levels.
• Zone Display (zoneFilter): Bullish Only / Bearish Only / Both
o Filters which zone types are drawn and eligible for signals.
• Clean Up Level Overlap (noOverlap)
o Prevents fib lines from overlapping when a new zone starts near the previous one (clamps line start/end times for readability).
Fib Levels
Each row controls whether a fib is drawn and how it looks:
• Toggle (f1Tog…f5Tog): Show/hide a given fib line.
• Level (f1Lvl…f5Lvl): Numeric ratio in . Defaults active: 0.3, 0.5, 0.7 (0 and 1 off by default).
• Line Style (f1Style…f5Style): Solid / Dashed / Dotted.
• Bull/Bear Colors (f#BullColor, f#BearColor): Per-fib color in bullish vs bearish zones.
Style
• Structure Color: Dot color for confirmed swing points.
• Bullish Zone Color / Bearish Zone Color: Rectangle fills (transparent by default).
Signals
• Entry Fib for Signals (entryFibSel): Choose 0.3, 0.5 (default), or 0.6 as the trigger line.
• Show Buy/Sell Signals (showSignals): Toggles triangle markers on/off.
• One Signal Per Zone (oneSignalPerZone): If on, suppresses additional entries within the same zone after the first trigger.
• Show Signal Text Labels (Bull/Bear + Fib) (showSignalLabels): Adds a small label next to each triangle showing zone bias and the fib used (e.g., BULL 0.5 or BEAR 0.3).
How TFZB decides signals
With trend only:
• BUY
1. Latest active zone is bullish.
2. Current bar’s close is inside the zone (between top and bottom).
3. The bar’s low ≤ selected fib and it closes > selected fib (bounce).
• SELL
1. Latest active zone is bearish.
2. Current bar’s close is inside the zone.
3. The bar’s high ≥ selected fib and it closes < selected fib.
Markers & labels
• BUY: triangle up below the bar; optional label “BULL 0.x” above it.
• SELL: triangle down above the bar; optional label “BEAR 0.x” below it.
Right-Panel Swing Log (Table)
What it is
A compact, auto-updating log of the most recent Swing High/Low events, printed in the top-right of the chart.
It helps you see when a pivot formed, when it was confirmed, and at what price—so you know the earliest bar a zone-based signal could have appeared.
Columns
Type – Swing High or Swing Low.
Date – Calendar date of the swing bar (follows the chart’s timezone).
Swing @ – Time of the original swing bar (where the dot is drawn).
Confirm @ – Time of the bar that confirmed that swing (≈ Structure Length × timeframe after the swing). This is also the earliest moment a new zone/entry can be considered.
Price – The swing price (high for SH, low for SL).
Why it’s useful
Clarity on repaint/confirmation: shows the natural delay between a swing forming and being usable—no guessing.
Planning & journaling: quick reference of today’s pivots and prices for notes/backtesting.
Scanning intraday: glance to see if you already have a confirmed zone (and therefore valid fib-bounce entries), or if you’re still waiting.
Context for signals: if a fib-bounce triangle appears before the time listed in Confirm @, it’s not a valid trade (you were too early).
Settings (Inputs → Logging)
Log swing times / Show table – turn the table on/off.
Rows to keep – how many recent entries to display.
Show labels on swing bar – optional tags on the chart (“Swing High 11:45”, “Confirm SH 14:15”) that match the table.
Recommended defaults
• Structure Length: 10–20 for intraday; 20–40 for swing.
• Entry Fib for Signals: 0.5 to start; try 0.3 in stronger trends and 0.6 in choppier markets.
• One Signal Per Zone: ON (prevents over trading).
• Zone Display: Both.
• Fib Lines: Keep 0.3/0.5/0.7 on; turn on 0 and 1 only if you need anchors.
Alerts
Two alert conditions are available:
• BUY signal – fires when a with trend bullish bounce at the selected fib occurs inside a bullish zone.
• SELL signal – fires when a with trend bearish bounce at the selected fib occurs inside a bearish zone.
Create alerts from the chart’s Alerts panel and select the desired condition. Use Once Per Bar Close to avoid intrabar flicker.
Notes & tips
• Swing dots are confirmed only after Structure Length bars, so they plot back in time; zones built from these confirmed swings do not repaint (though they extend as new bars form).
• If you don’t see a BUY where you expect one, check: (1) Is the active zone bullish? (2) Did the candle’s low actually pierce the selected fib and close above it? (3) Is One Signal Per Zone suppressing a second entry?
• You can hide visual clutter by reducing Show Last to 1–3 while keeping Display All Zones off.
Glossary
• CHOCH (Change of Character): A shift where price breaks beyond the last opposite swing while local momentum flips.
• BOS (Break of Structure): A cleaner break beyond the prior swing level in the current momentum direction.
• MSS: Either CHOCH or BOS – any event that spawns a new zone.
Extension ideas (optional)
• Add fib extensions (1.272 / 1.618) for target lines.
• Zone quality score using ATR normalization to filter weak impulses.
• HTF filter to only accept zones aligned with a higher timeframe trend.

BOCS Channel Scalper Indicator - Mean Reversion Alert System# BOCS Channel Scalper Indicator - Mean Reversion Alert System
## WHAT THIS INDICATOR DOES:
This is a mean reversion trading indicator that identifies consolidation channels through volatility analysis and generates alert signals when price enters entry zones near channel boundaries. **This indicator version is designed for manual trading with comprehensive alert functionality.** Unlike automated strategies, this tool sends notifications (via popup, email, SMS, or webhook) when trading opportunities occur, allowing you to manually review and execute trades. The system assumes price will revert to the channel mean, identifying scalp opportunities as price reaches extremes and preparing to bounce back toward center.
## INDICATOR VS STRATEGY - KEY DISTINCTION:
**This is an INDICATOR with alerts, not an automated strategy.** It does not execute trades automatically. Instead, it:
- Displays visual signals on your chart when entry conditions are met
- Sends customizable alerts to your device/email when opportunities arise
- Shows TP/SL levels for reference but does not place orders
- Requires you to manually enter and exit positions based on signals
- Works with all TradingView subscription levels (alerts included on all plans)
**For automated trading with backtesting**, use the strategy version. For manual control with notifications, use this indicator version.
## ALERT CAPABILITIES:
This indicator includes four distinct alert conditions that can be configured independently:
**1. New Channel Formation Alert**
- Triggers when a fresh BOCS channel is identified
- Message: "New BOCS channel formed - potential scalp setup ready"
- Use this to prepare for upcoming trading opportunities
**2. Long Scalp Entry Alert**
- Fires when price touches the long entry zone
- Message includes current price, calculated TP, and SL levels
- Notification example: "LONG scalp signal at 24731.75 | TP: 24743.2 | SL: 24716.5"
**3. Short Scalp Entry Alert**
- Fires when price touches the short entry zone
- Message includes current price, calculated TP, and SL levels
- Notification example: "SHORT scalp signal at 24747.50 | TP: 24735.0 | SL: 24762.75"
**4. Any Entry Signal Alert**
- Combined alert for both long and short entries
- Use this if you want a single alert stream for all opportunities
- Message: "BOCS Scalp Entry: at "
**Setting Up Alerts:**
1. Add indicator to chart and configure settings
2. Click the Alert (⏰) button in TradingView toolbar
3. Select "BOCS Channel Scalper" from condition dropdown
4. Choose desired alert type (Long, Short, Any, or Channel Formation)
5. Set "Once Per Bar Close" to avoid false signals during bar formation
6. Configure delivery method (popup, email, webhook for automation platforms)
7. Save alert - it will fire automatically when conditions are met
**Alert Message Placeholders:**
Alerts use TradingView's dynamic placeholder system:
- {{ticker}} = Symbol name (e.g., NQ1!)
- {{close}} = Current price at signal
- {{plot_1}} = Calculated take profit level
- {{plot_2}} = Calculated stop loss level
These placeholders populate automatically, creating detailed notification messages without manual configuration.
## KEY DIFFERENCE FROM ORIGINAL BOCS:
**This indicator is designed for traders seeking higher trade frequency.** The original BOCS indicator trades breakouts OUTSIDE channels, waiting for price to escape consolidation before entering. This scalper version trades mean reversion INSIDE channels, entering when price reaches channel extremes and betting on a bounce back to center. The result is significantly more trading opportunities:
- **Original BOCS**: 1-3 signals per channel (only on breakout)
- **Scalper Indicator**: 5-15+ signals per channel (every touch of entry zones)
- **Trade Style**: Mean reversion vs trend following
- **Hold Time**: Seconds to minutes vs minutes to hours
- **Best Markets**: Ranging/choppy conditions vs trending breakouts
This makes the indicator ideal for active day traders who want continuous alert opportunities within consolidation zones rather than waiting for breakout confirmation. However, increased signal frequency also means higher potential commission costs and requires disciplined trade selection when acting on alerts.
## TECHNICAL METHODOLOGY:
### Price Normalization Process:
The indicator normalizes price data to create consistent volatility measurements across different instruments and price levels. It calculates the highest high and lowest low over a user-defined lookback period (default 100 bars). Current close price is normalized using: (close - lowest_low) / (highest_high - lowest_low), producing values between 0 and 1 for standardized volatility analysis.
### Volatility Detection:
A 14-period standard deviation is applied to the normalized price series to measure price deviation from the mean. Higher standard deviation values indicate volatility expansion; lower values indicate consolidation. The indicator uses ta.highestbars() and ta.lowestbars() to identify when volatility peaks and troughs occur over the detection period (default 14 bars).
### Channel Formation Logic:
When volatility crosses from a high level to a low level (ta.crossover(upper, lower)), a consolidation phase begins. The indicator tracks the highest and lowest prices during this period, which become the channel boundaries. Minimum duration of 10+ bars is required to filter out brief volatility spikes. Channels are rendered as box objects with defined upper and lower boundaries, with colored zones indicating entry areas.
### Entry Signal Generation:
The indicator uses immediate touch-based entry logic. Entry zones are defined as a percentage from channel edges (default 20%):
- **Long Entry Zone**: Bottom 20% of channel (bottomBound + channelRange × 0.2)
- **Short Entry Zone**: Top 20% of channel (topBound - channelRange × 0.2)
Long signals trigger when candle low touches or enters the long entry zone. Short signals trigger when candle high touches or enters the short entry zone. Visual markers (arrows and labels) appear on chart, and configured alerts fire immediately.
### Cooldown Filter:
An optional cooldown period (measured in bars) prevents alert spam by enforcing minimum spacing between consecutive signals. If cooldown is set to 3 bars, no new long alert will fire until 3 bars after the previous long signal. Long and short cooldowns are tracked independently, allowing both directions to signal within the same period.
### ATR Volatility Filter:
The indicator includes a multi-timeframe ATR filter to avoid alerts during low-volatility conditions. Using request.security(), it fetches ATR values from a specified timeframe (e.g., 1-minute ATR while viewing 5-minute charts). The filter compares current ATR to a user-defined minimum threshold:
- If ATR ≥ threshold: Alerts enabled
- If ATR < threshold: No alerts fire
This prevents notifications during dead zones where mean reversion is unreliable due to insufficient price movement. The ATR status is displayed in the info table with visual confirmation (✓ or ✗).
### Take Profit Calculation:
Two TP methods are available:
**Fixed Points Mode**:
- Long TP = Entry + (TP_Ticks × syminfo.mintick)
- Short TP = Entry - (TP_Ticks × syminfo.mintick)
**Channel Percentage Mode**:
- Long TP = Entry + (ChannelRange × TP_Percent)
- Short TP = Entry - (ChannelRange × TP_Percent)
Default 50% targets the channel midline, a natural mean reversion target. These levels are displayed as visual lines with labels and included in alert messages for reference when manually placing orders.
### Stop Loss Placement:
Stop losses are calculated just outside the channel boundary by a user-defined tick offset:
- Long SL = ChannelBottom - (SL_Offset_Ticks × syminfo.mintick)
- Short SL = ChannelTop + (SL_Offset_Ticks × syminfo.mintick)
This logic assumes channel breaks invalidate the mean reversion thesis. SL levels are displayed on chart and included in alert notifications as suggested stop placement.
### Channel Breakout Management:
Channels are removed when price closes more than 10 ticks outside boundaries. This tolerance prevents premature channel deletion from minor breaks or wicks, allowing the mean reversion setup to persist through small boundary violations.

## HOW TO USE:
### For 1-3 Minute Scalping with Alerts (NQ/ES):
- ATR Timeframe: "1" (1-minute)
- ATR Min Value: 10.0 (for NQ), adjust per instrument
- Entry Zone %: 20-25%
- TP Method: Fixed Points, 20-40 ticks
- SL Offset: 5-10 ticks
- Cooldown: 2-3 bars to reduce alert spam
- **Alert Setup**: Configure "Any Entry Signal" for combined long/short notifications
- **Execution**: When alert fires, verify chart visuals, then manually place limit order at entry zone with provided TP/SL levels
### For 5-15 Minute Day Trading with Alerts:
- ATR Timeframe: "5" or match chart
- ATR Min Value: Adjust to instrument (test 8-15 for NQ)
- Entry Zone %: 20-30%
- TP Method: % of Channel, 40-60%
- SL Offset: 5-10 ticks
- Cooldown: 3-5 bars
- **Alert Setup**: Configure separate "Long Scalp Entry" and "Short Scalp Entry" alerts if you trade directionally based on bias
- **Execution**: Review channel structure on alert, confirm ATR filter shows ✓, then enter manually
### For 30-60 Minute Swing Scalping with Alerts:
- ATR Timeframe: "15" or "30"
- ATR Min Value: Lower threshold for broader market
- Entry Zone %: 25-35%
- TP Method: % of Channel, 50-70%
- SL Offset: 10-15 ticks
- Cooldown: 5+ bars or disable
- **Alert Setup**: Use "New Channel Formation" to prepare for setups, then "Any Entry Signal" for execution alerts
- **Execution**: Larger timeframes allow more analysis time between alert and entry
### Webhook Integration for Semi-Automation:
- Configure alert webhook URL to connect with platforms like TradersPost, TradingView Paper Trading, or custom automation
- Alert message includes all necessary order parameters (direction, entry, TP, SL)
- Webhook receives structured data when signal fires
- External platform can auto-execute based on alert payload
- Still maintains manual oversight vs full strategy automation
## USAGE CONSIDERATIONS:
- **Manual Discipline Required**: Alerts provide opportunities but execution requires judgment. Not all alerts should be taken - consider market context, trend, and channel quality
- **Alert Timing**: Alerts fire on bar close by default. Ensure "Once Per Bar Close" is selected to avoid false signals during bar formation
- **Notification Delivery**: Mobile/email alerts may have 1-3 second delay. For immediate execution, use desktop popups or webhook automation
- **Cooldown Necessity**: Without cooldown, rapidly touching price action can generate excessive alerts. Start with 3-bar cooldown and adjust based on alert volume
- **ATR Filter Impact**: Enabling ATR filter dramatically reduces alert count but improves quality. Track filter status in info table to understand when you're receiving fewer alerts
- **Commission Awareness**: High alert frequency means high potential trade count. Calculate if your commission structure supports frequent scalping before acting on all alerts
## COMPATIBLE MARKETS:
Works on any instrument with price data including stock indices (NQ, ES, YM, RTY), individual stocks, forex pairs (EUR/USD, GBP/USD), cryptocurrency (BTC, ETH), and commodities. Volume-based features are not included in this indicator version. Multi-timeframe ATR requires higher-tier TradingView subscription for request.security() functionality on timeframes below chart timeframe.
## KNOWN LIMITATIONS:
- **Indicator does not execute trades** - alerts are informational only; you must manually place all orders
- **Alert delivery depends on TradingView infrastructure** - delays or failures possible during platform issues
- **No position tracking** - indicator doesn't know if you're in a trade; you must manage open positions independently
- **TP/SL levels are reference only** - you must manually set these on your broker platform; they are not live orders
- **Immediate touch entry can generate many alerts** in choppy zones without adequate cooldown
- **Channel deletion at 10-tick breaks** may be too aggressive or lenient depending on instrument tick size
- **ATR filter from lower timeframes** requires TradingView Premium/Pro+ for request.security()
- **Mean reversion logic fails** in strong breakout scenarios - alerts will fire but trades may hit stops
- **No partial closing capability** - full position management is manual; you determine scaling out
- **Alerts do not account for gaps** or overnight price changes; morning alerts may be stale
## RISK DISCLOSURE:
Trading involves substantial risk of loss. This indicator provides signals for educational and informational purposes only and does not constitute financial advice. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Mean reversion strategies can experience extended drawdowns during trending markets. Alerts are not guaranteed to be profitable and should be combined with your own analysis. Stop losses may not fill at intended levels during extreme volatility or gaps. Never trade with capital you cannot afford to lose. Consider consulting a licensed financial advisor before making trading decisions. Always verify alerts against current market conditions before executing trades manually.
## ACKNOWLEDGMENT & CREDITS:
This indicator is built upon the channel detection methodology created by **AlgoAlpha** in the "Smart Money Breakout Channels" indicator. Full credit and appreciation to AlgoAlpha for pioneering the normalized volatility approach to identifying consolidation patterns. The core channel formation logic using normalized price standard deviation is AlgoAlpha's original contribution to the TradingView community.
Enhancements to the original concept include: mean reversion entry logic (vs breakout), immediate touch-based alert generation, comprehensive alert condition system with customizable notifications, multi-timeframe ATR volatility filtering, cooldown period for alert management, dual TP methods (fixed points vs channel percentage), visual TP/SL reference lines, and real-time status monitoring table. This indicator version is specifically designed for manual traders who prefer alert-based decision making over automated execution.
BOCS Channel Scalper Strategy - Automated Mean Reversion System# BOCS Channel Scalper Strategy - Automated Mean Reversion System
## WHAT THIS STRATEGY DOES:
This is an automated mean reversion trading strategy that identifies consolidation channels through volatility analysis and executes scalp trades when price enters entry zones near channel boundaries. Unlike breakout strategies, this system assumes price will revert to the channel mean, taking profits as price bounces back from extremes. Position sizing is fully customizable with three methods: fixed contracts, percentage of equity, or fixed dollar amount. Stop losses are placed just outside channel boundaries with take profits calculated either as fixed points or as a percentage of channel range.
## KEY DIFFERENCE FROM ORIGINAL BOCS:
**This strategy is designed for traders seeking higher trade frequency.** The original BOCS indicator trades breakouts OUTSIDE channels, waiting for price to escape consolidation before entering. This scalper version trades mean reversion INSIDE channels, entering when price reaches channel extremes and betting on a bounce back to center. The result is significantly more trading opportunities:
- **Original BOCS**: 1-3 signals per channel (only on breakout)
- **Scalper Version**: 5-15+ signals per channel (every touch of entry zones)
- **Trade Style**: Mean reversion vs trend following
- **Hold Time**: Seconds to minutes vs minutes to hours
- **Best Markets**: Ranging/choppy conditions vs trending breakouts
This makes the scalper ideal for active day traders who want continuous opportunities within consolidation zones rather than waiting for breakout confirmation. However, increased trade frequency also means higher commission costs and requires tighter risk management.
## TECHNICAL METHODOLOGY:
### Price Normalization Process:
The strategy normalizes price data to create consistent volatility measurements across different instruments and price levels. It calculates the highest high and lowest low over a user-defined lookback period (default 100 bars). Current close price is normalized using: (close - lowest_low) / (highest_high - lowest_low), producing values between 0 and 1 for standardized volatility analysis.
### Volatility Detection:
A 14-period standard deviation is applied to the normalized price series to measure price deviation from the mean. Higher standard deviation values indicate volatility expansion; lower values indicate consolidation. The strategy uses ta.highestbars() and ta.lowestbars() to identify when volatility peaks and troughs occur over the detection period (default 14 bars).
### Channel Formation Logic:
When volatility crosses from a high level to a low level (ta.crossover(upper, lower)), a consolidation phase begins. The strategy tracks the highest and lowest prices during this period, which become the channel boundaries. Minimum duration of 10+ bars is required to filter out brief volatility spikes. Channels are rendered as box objects with defined upper and lower boundaries, with colored zones indicating entry areas.
### Entry Signal Generation:
The strategy uses immediate touch-based entry logic. Entry zones are defined as a percentage from channel edges (default 20%):
- **Long Entry Zone**: Bottom 20% of channel (bottomBound + channelRange × 0.2)
- **Short Entry Zone**: Top 20% of channel (topBound - channelRange × 0.2)
Long signals trigger when candle low touches or enters the long entry zone. Short signals trigger when candle high touches or enters the short entry zone. This captures mean reversion opportunities as price reaches channel extremes.
### Cooldown Filter:
An optional cooldown period (measured in bars) prevents signal spam by enforcing minimum spacing between consecutive signals. If cooldown is set to 3 bars, no new long signal will fire until 3 bars after the previous long signal. Long and short cooldowns are tracked independently, allowing both directions to signal within the same period.
### ATR Volatility Filter:
The strategy includes a multi-timeframe ATR filter to avoid trading during low-volatility conditions. Using request.security(), it fetches ATR values from a specified timeframe (e.g., 1-minute ATR while trading on 5-minute charts). The filter compares current ATR to a user-defined minimum threshold:
- If ATR ≥ threshold: Trading enabled
- If ATR < threshold: No signals fire
This prevents entries during dead zones where mean reversion is unreliable due to insufficient price movement.
### Take Profit Calculation:
Two TP methods are available:
**Fixed Points Mode**:
- Long TP = Entry + (TP_Ticks × syminfo.mintick)
- Short TP = Entry - (TP_Ticks × syminfo.mintick)
**Channel Percentage Mode**:
- Long TP = Entry + (ChannelRange × TP_Percent)
- Short TP = Entry - (ChannelRange × TP_Percent)
Default 50% targets the channel midline, a natural mean reversion target. Larger percentages aim for opposite channel edge.
### Stop Loss Placement:
Stop losses are placed just outside the channel boundary by a user-defined tick offset:
- Long SL = ChannelBottom - (SL_Offset_Ticks × syminfo.mintick)
- Short SL = ChannelTop + (SL_Offset_Ticks × syminfo.mintick)
This logic assumes channel breaks invalidate the mean reversion thesis. If price breaks through, the range is no longer valid and position exits.
### Trade Execution Logic:
When entry conditions are met (price in zone, cooldown satisfied, ATR filter passed, no existing position):
1. Calculate entry price at zone boundary
2. Calculate TP and SL based on selected method
3. Execute strategy.entry() with calculated position size
4. Place strategy.exit() with TP limit and SL stop orders
5. Update info table with active trade details
The strategy enforces one position at a time by checking strategy.position_size == 0 before entry.
### Channel Breakout Management:
Channels are removed when price closes more than 10 ticks outside boundaries. This tolerance prevents premature channel deletion from minor breaks or wicks, allowing the mean reversion setup to persist through small boundary violations.
### Position Sizing System:
Three methods calculate position size:
**Fixed Contracts**:
- Uses exact contract quantity specified in settings
- Best for futures traders (e.g., "trade 2 NQ contracts")
**Percentage of Equity**:
- position_size = (strategy.equity × equity_pct / 100) / close
- Dynamically scales with account growth
**Cash Amount**:
- position_size = cash_amount / close
- Maintains consistent dollar exposure regardless of price
## INPUT PARAMETERS:
### Position Sizing:

- **Number of Contracts**: Fixed quantity per trade (1-1000)
- **% of Equity**: Percentage of account to allocate (1-100%)
- **Cash Amount**: Dollar value per position ($100+)
### Channel Settings:
- **Nested Channels**: Allow multiple overlapping channels vs single channel
- **Normalization Length**: Lookback for high/low calculation (1-500, default 100)

- **Info table** showing position status, channel state, last signal, entry/TP/SL prices, and ATR status
## HOW TO USE:
### For 1-3 Minute Scalping (NQ/ES):
- ATR Timeframe: "1" (1-minute)
- ATR Min Value: 10.0 (for NQ), adjust per instrument
- Entry Zone %: 20-25%
- TP Method: Fixed Points, 20-40 ticks
- SL Offset: 5-10 ticks
- Cooldown: 2-3 bars
- Position Size: 1-2 contracts
### For 5-15 Minute Day Trading:
- ATR Timeframe: "5" or match chart
- ATR Min Value: Adjust to instrument (test 8-15 for NQ)
- Entry Zone %: 20-30%
- TP Method: % of Channel, 40-60%
- SL Offset: 5-10 ticks
- Cooldown: 3-5 bars
- Position Size: Fixed contracts or 5-10% equity
### For 30-60 Minute Swing Scalping:
- ATR Timeframe: "15" or "30"
- ATR Min Value: Lower threshold for broader market
- Entry Zone %: 25-35%
- TP Method: % of Channel, 50-70%
- SL Offset: 10-15 ticks
- Cooldown: 5+ bars or disable
- Position Size: % of equity recommended
## BACKTEST CONSIDERATIONS:
- Strategy performs best in ranging, mean-reverting markets
- Strong trending markets produce more stop losses as price breaks channels
- ATR filter significantly reduces trade count but improves quality during low volatility
- Cooldown period trades signal quantity for signal quality
- Commission and slippage materially impact sub-5-minute timeframe performance
- Shorter timeframes require tighter entry zones (15-20%) to catch quick reversions
- % of Channel TP adapts better to varying channel sizes than fixed points
- Fixed contract sizing recommended for consistent risk per trade in futures
**Backtesting Parameters Used**: This strategy was developed and tested using realistic commission and slippage values to provide accurate performance expectations. Recommended settings: Commission of $1.40 per side (typical for NQ futures through discount brokers), slippage of 2 ticks to account for execution delays on fast-moving scalp entries. These values reflect real-world trading costs that active scalpers will encounter. Backtest results without proper cost simulation will significantly overstate profitability.
## COMPATIBLE MARKETS:
Works on any instrument with price data including stock indices (NQ, ES, YM, RTY), individual stocks, forex pairs (EUR/USD, GBP/USD), cryptocurrency (BTC, ETH), and commodities. Volume-based features require data feed with volume information but are optional for core functionality.
## KNOWN LIMITATIONS:
- Immediate touch entry can fire multiple times in choppy zones without adequate cooldown
- Channel deletion at 10-tick breaks may be too aggressive or lenient depending on instrument tick size
- ATR filter from lower timeframes requires higher-tier TradingView subscription (request.security limitation)
- Mean reversion logic fails in strong breakout scenarios leading to stop loss hits
- Position sizing via % of equity or cash amount calculates based on close price, may differ from actual fill price
- No partial closing capability - full position exits at TP or SL only
- Strategy does not account for gap openings or overnight holds
## RISK DISCLOSURE:
Trading involves substantial risk of loss. Past performance does not guarantee future results. This strategy is for educational purposes and backtesting only. Mean reversion strategies can experience extended drawdowns during trending markets. Stop losses may not fill at intended levels during extreme volatility or gaps. Thoroughly test on historical data and paper trade before risking real capital. Use appropriate position sizing and never risk more than you can afford to lose. Consider consulting a licensed financial advisor before making trading decisions. Automated trading systems can malfunction - monitor all live positions actively.

TEWMA Supertrend - [JTCAPITAL]TEWMA Supertrend - is a modified way to use Triple Exponential Weighted Moving Average (TEWMA) combined with ATR-based Supertrend logic for Trend-Following.
The idea behind this indicator is to merge the smoothness and responsiveness of TEWMA with the robustness of ATR-based Supertrend volatility filtering. This results in a tool that not only reacts quickly to price changes but also adapts to market volatility, providing reliable trend detection with reduced noise.
The indicator works by calculating in the following steps:
Source Selection
The user can select the price source (default is Close). This price series is the foundation of all calculations, and changing the source allows the indicator to adapt to different analytical perspectives, such as Open, High, Low, or HL2.
TEWMA Calculation
The script calculates a Weighted Moving Average (WMA) of the selected source, and then applies a Triple Exponential Moving Average (TEMA) smoothing on top of it. The result is what we call TEWMA. This hybrid method achieves two goals simultaneously:
-WMA adds sensitivity by giving more weight to recent data.
-TEMA reduces lag by combining multiple EMA calculations while keeping smoothness.
ATR Volatility Measurement
In parallel, the Average True Range (ATR) is calculated over the user-defined Supertrend length . ATR measures volatility and dynamically scales the upper and lower bands to adjust to different market conditions.
Upper and Lower Band Construction
The indicator builds two envelopes around the TEWMA:
- Upper Band = TEWMA + (Multiplier × ATR)
- Lower Band = TEWMA – (Multiplier × ATR)
These bands expand and contract depending on volatility, creating a dynamic channel.
Band Adjustment Logic
To prevent false flips, the current upper/lower band values are compared to their previous values. If price has not broken above or below the prior band, the bands “stick” to their previous values, thereby filtering noise and avoiding unnecessary trend changes.
Trend Detection
-If price closes above the adjusted upper band, the direction is bullish.
-If price closes below the adjusted lower band, the direction is bearish.
-Otherwise, the trend direction continues from its prior state.
The Trend line is then set to either the upper band (bearish) or lower band (bullish).
Visual Representation
-The TEWMA line itself is plotted and color-coded (blue for bullish, purple for bearish).
-The active Supertrend line is plotted depending on trend direction.
-Shaded regions are added around the lines for enhanced clarity, visually separating bullish and bearish phases.
Buy and Sell Conditions :
- Buy Signal : Triggered when price closes above the Supertrend line, confirming a bullish shift.
- Sell Signal : Triggered when price closes below the Supertrend line, confirming a bearish shift.
Features and Parameters :
- TEWMA Source – Select the input price (Close, Open, High, Low, etc.).
- TEWMA Length – Defines the lookback for the Weighted MA and subsequent TEMA smoothing.
- Supertrend Length – Defines the ATR period used for volatility measurement.
- Multiplier – Determines how far the Supertrend bands are placed from the TEWMA. Higher values mean wider bands and fewer trend flips, while lower values mean tighter bands and more frequent signals.
Specifications :
Weighted Moving Average (WMA)
The WMA gives more importance to recent price points while still considering past values. This makes it more responsive to recent moves than a Simple Moving Average (SMA).
Triple Exponential Moving Average (TEMA)
TEMA reduces lag by combining multiple layers of EMA calculations. Unlike a simple EMA, which can be slow to react, TEMA anticipates changes faster, while still maintaining smoothness to avoid false signals.
TEWMA (TEMA of WMA)
By applying TEMA on top of WMA, we create a hybrid smoothing technique. This retains the responsiveness of WMA but reduces its lag via TEMA’s structure. The result is a highly adaptive moving average, ideal for fast trend detection.
Average True Range (ATR)
ATR measures the degree of volatility by looking at the full trading range of each candle. It ensures that the Supertrend bands expand in volatile markets and contract in calm markets, keeping signals relevant to current conditions.
Supertrend Bands
The upper and lower envelopes built around TEWMA act as dynamic support and resistance. Their adaptive nature reduces false trend shifts during choppy sideways markets.
Band Adjustment Logic
Instead of recalculating bands every candle, the script uses a memory mechanism (previous values) to prevent unnecessary trend switches. This stabilizes the indicator and avoids excessive noise.
Trend Line
The final output is a line that follows price in trending phases while holding steady during consolidations. Its placement above or below price clearly signals bullish or bearish market structure.
Color Coding and Visuals
The use of shaded fills and line coloring enhances readability. Traders can quickly distinguish trend direction and momentum without deep numerical analysis.

Pairs Trading Scanner [BackQuant]Pairs Trading Scanner
What it is
This scanner analyzes the relationship between your chart symbol and a chosen pair symbol in real time. It builds a normalized “spread” between them, tracks how tightly they move together (correlation), converts the spread into a Z-Score (how far from typical it is), and then prints clear LONG / SHORT / EXIT prompts plus an at-a-glance dashboard with the numbers that matter.
Why pairs at all?
Markets co-move. When two assets are statistically related, their relationship (the spread) tends to oscillate around a mean.
Pairs trading doesn’t require calling overall market direction you trade the relative mispricing between two instruments.
This scanner gives you a robust, visual way to find those dislocations, size their significance, and structure the trade.
How it works (plain English)
Step 1 Pick a partner: Select the Pair Symbol to compare against your chart symbol. The tool fetches synchronized prices for both.
Step 2 Build a spread: Choose a Spread Method that defines “relative value” (e.g., Log Spread, Price Ratio, Return Difference, Price Difference). Each lens highlights a different flavor of divergence.
Step 3 Validate relationship: A rolling Correlation checks if the pair is moving together enough to be tradable. If correlation is weak, the scanner stands down.
Step 4 Standardize & score: The spread is normalized (mean & variability over a lookback) to form a Z-Score . Large absolute Z means “stretched,” small means “near fair.”
Step 5 Signals: When the Z-Score crosses user-defined thresholds with sufficient correlation , entries print:
LONG = long chart symbol / short pair symbol,
SHORT = short chart symbol / long pair symbol,
EXIT = mean reversion into the exit zone or correlation failure.
Core concepts (the three pillars)
Spread Method Your definition of “distance” between the two series.
Guidance:
Log Spread: Focuses on proportional differences; robust when prices live on different scales.
Price Ratio: Classic relative value; good when you care about “X per Y.”
Return Difference: Emphasizes recent performance gaps; nimble for momentum-to-mean plays.
Price Difference: Straight subtraction; intuitive for similar-scale assets (e.g., two ETFs).
Correlation A rolling score of co-movement. The scanner requires it to be above your Min Correlation before acting, so you’re not trading random divergence.
Z-Score “How abnormal is today’s spread?” Positive = chart richer than pair; negative = cheaper. Thresholds define entries/exits with transparent, statistical context.
What you’ll see on the chart
Correlation plot (blue line) with a dashed Min Correlation guide. Above the line = green zone for signals; below = hands off.
Z-Score plot (white line) with colored, dashed Entry bands and dotted Exit bands. Zero line for mean.
Normalized spread (yellow) for a quick “shape read” of recent divergence swings.
Signal markers :
LONG (green label) when Z < –Entry and corr OK,
SHORT (red label) when Z > +Entry and corr OK,
EXIT (gray label) when Z returns inside the Exit band or correlation drops below the floor.

Spread Volatility How “lively” the spread has been.
Trade Signal A human-readable prompt (e.g., “LONG A / SHORT B” or “NO TRADE” / “LOW CORRELATION”).
Risk Level LOW / MEDIUM / HIGH based on current stretch (absolute Z).
Signals logic (plain English)
Entry (LONG): The spread is unusually negative (chart cheaper vs pair) and correlation is healthy. Expect mean reversion upward in the spread: long chart, short pair.
Entry (SHORT): The spread is unusually positive (chart richer vs pair) and correlation is healthy. Expect mean reversion downward in the spread: short chart, long pair.
Exit: The spread relaxes back toward normal (inside your exit band), or correlation deteriorates (relationship no longer trusted).
A quick, repeatable workflow
1) Choose your pair in context (same sector/theme or known macro link). Think: “Do these two plausibly co-move?”
2) Pick a spread lens that matches your narrative (ratio for relative value, returns for short-term performance gaps, etc.).
3) Confirm correlation is above your floor no corr, no trade.
4) Wait for a stretch (Z beyond Entry band) and a printed LONG / SHORT .
5) Manage to the mean (EXIT band) or correlation failure; let the scanners’ state/labels keep you honest.
Settings that matter (and why)
Spread Method Defines the “mispricing” you care about.
Correlation Period Longer = steadier regime read, shorter = snappier to regime change.
Z-Score Period The window that defines “normal” for the spread; it sets the yardstick.
Use Percentage Returns Normalizes series when using return-based logic; keep on for mixed-scale assets.
Entry / Exit Thresholds Set your stretch and your target reversion zone. Wider entries = rarer but stronger signals.
Minimum Correlation The gatekeeper. Raising it favors quality over quantity.
Choosing pairs (practical cheat sheet)
Same family: two index ETFs, two oil-linked names, two gold miners, two L1 tokens.
Hedge & proxy: stock vs. sector ETF, BTC vs. BTC index, WTI vs. energy ETF.
Cross-venue or cross-listing: instruments that are functionally the same exposure but price differently intraday.
Reading the cues like a pro
Divergence shape: The yellow normalized spread helps you see rhythm fast spike and snap-back versus slow grind.
Corr-first discipline: Don’t fight the “Min Correlation” line. Good pairs trading starts with a relationship you can trust.
Exit humility: When Z re-centers, let the EXIT do its job. The edge is the journey to the mean, not overstaying it.
Frequently asked (quick answers)
“Long/Short means what exactly?”
LONG = long the chart symbol and short the pair symbol.
SHORT = short the chart symbol and long the pair symbol.
“Do I need same price scales?” No. The spread methods normalize in different ways; choose the one that fits your use case (log/ratio are great for mixed scales).
“What if correlation falls mid-trade?” The scanner will neutralize the state and print EXIT . Relationship first; trade second.
Field notes & patterns
Snap-back days: After a one-sided session, return-difference spreads often flag cleaner intraday mean reversions.
Macro rotations: Ratio spreads shine during sector re-weights (e.g., value vs. growth ETFs); look for steady corr + elevated |Z|.
Event bleed-through: If one symbol reacts to news and its partner lags, Z often flags a high-quality, short-horizon re-centering.

For each symbol, the script requests the selected timeframe’s price data, calculates the percentage change from the previous bar’s close, and then displays it in a neatly formatted table. Green highlights strength, red highlights weakness, and gray shows neutrality — making shifts in momentum instantly recognizable.
How to Use
1. Select your timeframe – For example, "60" (1H) to view hourly change, "240" (4H) for broader moves, or "D" for daily strength/weakness.
2. Choose your group – Focus on the Majors for a macro USD view, or switch to Cross Pairs for secondary flows.
3. Position the table – Place it in any corner of your chart (top-left, top-right, bottom-left, bottom-right) to match your workspace.
The table updates dynamically at the close of each bar, ensuring the displayed data always reflects the most recent market movements.
Volume Bubbles & Liquidity Heatmap [LuxAlgo]The Volume Bubbles & Liquidity Heatmap indicator highlights volume and liquidity clearly and precisely with its volume bubbles and liquidity heat map, allowing to identify key price areas.
Customize the bubbles with different time frames and different display modes: total volume, buy and sell volume, or delta volume.
🔶 USAGE
The primary objective of this tool is to offer traders a straightforward method for analyzing volume on any selected timeframe.
By default, the tool displays buy and sell volume bubbles for the daily timeframe over the last 2,000 bars. Traders should be aware of the difference between the timeframe of the chart and that of the bubbles.
The tool also displays a liquidity heat map to help traders identify price areas where liquidity accumulates or is lacking.
🔹 Volume Bubbles
The bubbles have three possible display modes:
Total Volume: Displays the total volume of trades per bubble.
Buy & Sell Volume: Each bubble is divided into buy and sell volume.
Delta Volume: Displays the difference between buy and sell volume.
Each bubble represents the trading volume for a given period. By default, the timeframe for each bubble is set to daily, meaning each bubble represents the trading volume for each day.
The size of each bubble is proportional to the volume traded; a larger bubble indicates greater volume, while a smaller bubble indicates lower volume.
The color of each bubble indicates the dominant volume: green for buy volume and red for sell volume.
One of the tool's main goals is to facilitate simple, clear, multi-timeframe volume analysis.
The previous chart shows Delta Volume bubbles with various chart and bubble timeframe configurations.
To correctly visualize the bubbles, traders must ensure there is a sufficient number of bars per bubble. This is achieved by using a lower chart timeframe and a higher bubble timeframe.
As can be seen in the image above, the greater the difference between the chart and bubble timeframes, the better the visualization.
🔹 Liquidity Heatmap
The other main element of the tool is the liquidity heatmap. By default, it divides the chart into 25 different price areas and displays the accumulated trading volume on each.
The image above shows a 4-hour BTC chart displaying only the liquidity heatmap. Traders should be aware of these key price areas and observe how the price behaves in them, looking for possible opportunities to engage with the market.
The main parameters for controlling the heatmap on the settings panel are Rows and Cell Minimum Size. Rows modifies the number of horizontal price areas displayed, while Cell Minimum Size modifies the minimum size of each liquidity cell in each row.
As can be seen in the above BTC hourly chart, the cell size is 24 at the top and 168 at the bottom. The cells are smaller on top and bigger on the bottom.
The color of each cell reflects the liquidity size with a gradient; this reflects the total volume traded within each cell. The default colors are:
Red: larger liquidity
Yellow: medium liquidity
Blue: lower liquidity
🔹 Using Both Tools Together
This indicator provides the means to identify directional bias and market timing.
The main idea is that if buyers are strong, prices are likely to increase, and if sellers are strong, prices are likely to decrease. This gives us a directional bias for opening long or short positions. Then, we combine our directional bias with price rejection or acceptance of key liquidity levels to determine the timing of opening or closing our positions.
Now, let's review some charts.
This first chart is BTC 1H with Delta Weekly Bubbles. Delta Bubbles measure the difference between buy and sell volume, so we can easily see which group is dominant (buyers or sellers) and how strong they are in any given week. This, along with the key price areas displayed by the Liquidity Heatmap, can help us navigate the markets.
We divided market behavior into seven groups, and each group has several bubbles, numbered from 1 to 17.
Bubbles 1, 2, and 3: After strong buyers market consolidates with positive delta, prices move up next week.
Bubbles 3, 4, and 5: Strength changes from buyers to sellers. Next week, prices go down.
Bubbles 6 and 7: The market trades at higher prices, but with negative delta. Next week, prices go down.
Bubbles 7, 8, and 9: Strength changes from sellers to buyers. Next weeks (9 and 10), prices go up.
Bubbles 10, 11, and 12: After strong buyers prices trade higher with a negative delta. Next weeks (12 and 13) prices go down.
Bubbles 12, 14, and 15: Strength changes from sellers to buyers; next week, prices increase.
Bubbles 15 and 16: The market trades higher with a very small positive delta; next week, prices go down.
Current bubble/week 17 is not yet finished. Right now, it is trading lower, but with a smaller negative delta than last week. This may signal that sellers are losing strength and that a potential reversal will follow, with prices trading higher.
This is the same BTC 1H chart, but with price rejections from key liquidity areas acting as strong price barriers.
When prices reach a key area with strong liquidity and are rejected, it signals a good time to take action.
By observing price behavior at certain key price levels, we can improve our timing for entering or exiting the markets.
🔶 DETAILS
🔹 Bubbles Display
From the settings panel, traders can configure the bubbles with four main parameters: Mode, Timeframe, Size%, and Shape.
The image above shows five-minute BTC charts with execution over the last 3,500 bars, different display modes, a daily timeframe, 100% size, and shape one.
The Size % parameter controls the overall size of the bubbles, while the Shape parameter controls their vertical growth.
Since the chart has two scales, one for time and one for price, traders can use the Shape parameter to make the bubbles round.
The chart above shows the same bubbles with different size and shape parameters.
You can also customize data labels and timeframe separators from the settings panel.

RSI MA Cross + Divergence Signal (V2) Core Logic
RSI + Moving Average
The script calculates a standard RSI (default 14).
It then overlays a moving average (SMA/EMA/WMA, default 9).
When RSI crosses above its MA → bullish momentum.
When RSI crosses below its MA → bearish momentum.
Divergence Filter
Signals are only valid if there’s confirmed divergence:
Bullish divergence: Price makes a lower low, RSI makes a higher low.
Bearish divergence: Price makes a higher high, RSI makes a lower high.
Overbought / Oversold Filter
Optional extra:
Bullish signals only valid if RSI ≤ 30 (oversold).
Bearish signals only valid if RSI ≥ 70 (overbought).
This ensures signals happen in “stretched” conditions.
Risk & Trade Management
Entries taken only when all conditions align.
Exits can be managed with ATR stops, partial take-profits, breakeven moves, and trailing stops (we coded these in the strategy version).
Cooldown, session filters, and daily loss guard to keep risk tight.
🔹 Strengths
✅ High selectivity: Combining RSI cross + divergence + OB/OS means signals are rare but higher quality.
✅ Great at catching reversals: Divergence highlights where price may be running out of steam.
✅ Risk management baked in: ATR stops + partial exits smooth out equity curve.
✅ Works across markets: ES, FX, crypto — anywhere RSI divergences are respected.
✅ Flexible: You can loosen/tighten filters depending on aggressiveness.
🔹 Weaknesses
❌ Lag from pivots: Divergence only confirms after a few bars → you enter late sometimes.
❌ Choppy in ranges: In sideways markets, RSI divergences appear often and whipsaw.
❌ Filters reduce signals: With all filters ON (divergence + OB/OS + trend + session), signals can be very rare — may under-trade.
❌ Not standalone: Needs higher-timeframe context (trend, liquidity pools) to avoid counter-trend entries.
🔹 Best Ways to Trade It
Use Higher Timeframe Bias
Run the strategy on 15m/1H, but only trade in direction of higher timeframe trend (e.g., 4H EMA).
Example: If daily is bullish → only take bullish divergences.
Pair With Structure
Look for signals at key zones: HTF support/resistance, VWAP, or FVGs.
Divergence + RSI cross inside an FVG is a strong entry trigger.
Adjust OB/OS for Volatility
For crypto/FX: use 35/65 instead of 30/70 (markets trend harder).
For ES/S&P: 30/70 works fine.
Risk Management Is King
Use partial exits: take profit at 1R, trail rest.
Size by % of equity (we coded this into the strategy).
Avoid News Spikes
Divergences break down around CPI, NFP, Fed announcements — stay flat.
🔹 When It Shines
Trending markets that make extended pushes → clean divergences.
Reversal zones (oversold → bullish bounce, overbought → bearish fade).
Swing trading (15m–4H) — less noise than 1m/5m scalping.
🔹 When to Avoid
Low volatility chop → lots of false divergences.
During high-impact news → RSI swings wildly.
In strong one-way trends without pullbacks — divergence keeps calling tops/bottoms too early.
✅ Summary:
This is a reversal-focused RSI divergence strategy with strict filters. It’s powerful when combined with higher-timeframe bias + structure confluence, but weak if traded blindly in choppy or news-driven conditions. Best to treat it as a precision entry trigger, not a full system — layer it on top of your FVG/ORB framework for maximum edge.
