Fibonacci Projection with Volume & Delta Profile (Zeiierman)█ Overview
Fibonacci Projection with Volume & Delta Profile (Zeiierman) blends classic Fibonacci swing analysis with modern volume-flow reading to create a unified, projection-based market framework. The indicator automatically detects the latest swing high and swing low, builds a complete Fibonacci structure, and then projects future extension targets with clear visual pathways.
What makes this tool unique is the integration of two volume-based systems directly into the Fibonacci structure. A Fib-aligned Volume Profile shows how bullish and bearish volume accumulated inside the swing range, while a separate Delta Profile reveals the imbalance of buy–sell pressure inside each Fibonacci interval. Together, these elements transform the standard Fibonacci tool into a multi-dimensional structural and volume-flow map.
█ How It Works
The indicator first detects the most recent swing high and swing low using the Period setting. That swing defines the Fibonacci range, from which the script draws retracement levels (0.236–0.786) and builds a forward projection path using the chosen Projection Level and a 1.272 extension.
Along this path, it draws projection lines, target boxes, and percentage labels that show how far each projected leg extends relative to the previous one.
Inside the same swing range, the script builds a Fib-based Volume Profile by splitting price into rows and assigning each bar’s volume as bullish (close > open) or bearish (close ≤ open). On top of that, it calculates a Volume Delta Profile between each pair of fib levels, showing whether buyers or sellers dominated that band and how strong that imbalance was.
█ How to Use
This tool helps traders quickly understand market structure and where the price may be heading next. The projection engine shows the most likely future targets, highlights strong or weak legs in the move, and updates automatically whenever a new swing forms. This ensures you always see the most relevant and up-to-date projection path.
The Fib Volume Profile shows where volume supported the move and where it did not. Thick bullish buckets reveal zones where buyers stepped in aggressively, often becoming retestable support. Thick bearish buckets highlight zones of resistance or rejection, particularly useful if projected levels align with prior liquidity.
The Delta Profile adds a second dimension to volume reading by showing where buy–sell pressure was truly imbalanced. A projected Fibonacci target that aligns with a strong bullish delta, for example, may suggest continuation. A projection into a band dominated by bearish delta may warn of reversal or hesitation.

Simple VP Shape DetectorSimple VP Shape Detector is a lightweight Pine Script tool designed to help traders quickly identify the four major Volume Profile shapes commonly used in orderflow and auction-market theory:
D-Shape (Balanced Profile)
P-Shape (Short-Covering / Buyer-Dominant)
B-Shape (Long-Liquidation / Seller-Dominant)
Thin Profile (Trend Profile)
This indicator uses candle statistics (range, body size, volume distribution approximation, and directional movement) to estimate the underlying shape of the volume profile when the full Volume Profile tool is not available.
✔️ What this indicator does
Analyzes recent bars to estimate volume concentration vs. price movement
Flags possible VP shapes using simple logic
Displays labels above/below candles showing:
“D” → Balanced
“P” → Buyer-heavy
“B” → Seller-heavy
“T” → Trending / Thin profile
Helps traders quickly identify auction conditions
✔️ Why this is useful
Volume Profile tools require premium data or heavy visual processing.
This script provides a simple, fast, CPU-light alternative that still captures the essential behavior of profile shapes.
✔️ How shapes are detected
D-Shape: small directional movement + larger body clustering
P-Shape: strong upward move + volume weighted to upper half
B-Shape: strong downward move + volume weighted to lower half
Thin: long range candles with little internal consolidation

DELTAFLOW MATRIX - COMPLETE GUIDE
For 1-Minute Scalping
═════════════════─────────
───────────────────────────────────────
📊 VISUAL ELEMENTS EXPLAINED (What You See on the Chart)
───────────────────────────────────────
🟦🟥 RED/GREEN BARS ON THE RIGHT = Delta Flow Direction
The horizontal bars extending right from your chart show WHO controlled the price at each level. Green = bulls won, Red = bears won. Longer bars = more volume traded at that price. Example: If BTC is at $100,000 and you see a massive green bar, that means buyers aggressively absorbed all sell orders at that exact price level.
📊 GRADIENT BACKGROUND (Heat Map) = Volume Intensity
The colored background behind the bars shows volume concentration. Darker/more opaque = heavy trading, lighter/transparent = light trading. Example: A dark background at $99,800 means that's where most traders are positioned - it's a "magnet price" where BTC keeps returning.
🟩 GREEN BOX WITH BORDER = POC (Point of Control)
This is THE most important price on your chart - where the absolute highest volume traded. This is where the majority of traders are stuck. Example: POC at $99,950 means most BTC holders bought/sold there. Price will be magnetically pulled back to test this level repeatedly.
⬜ WHITE DOTTED LINES = VA High and VA Low (Value Area)
These lines contain 70% of all trading volume. Think of them as "fair price boundaries." Example: VA High at $100,200, VA Low at $99,700 means BTC's "fair value range" is $99,700-$100,200. Breakouts above/below these lines are significant moves.
💜 MAGENTA BORDER ON BARS = MICRO-SR (Micro Support/Resistance)
These magenta-outlined bars mark high-frequency support/resistance zones where price repeatedly bounced. These are your scalping zones. Example: MICRO-SR at $99,975 means BTC touched this price multiple times in the last 100 bars - it's a critical battle line for 1-minute scalpers.
🟡 GOLD TEXT "BULL EXHAUST" / "BEAR EXHAUST" = Exhaustion Zones
When one side dominated the volume BUT the trend is dying. This is where the big money got tired. Example: "BULL EXHAUST" at $100,100 means buyers pushed hard but are running out of steam - expect a reversal or consolidation soon.
🔵 CYAN TEXT "FLOW SHIFT ↑" / "FLOW SHIFT ↓" = Institutional Reversal
This is the holy grail - when delta completely flipped from bearish to bullish (or vice versa) with increasing volume. This marks where institutions changed their position. Example: "FLOW SHIFT ↑" at $99,900 means selling pressure just turned into aggressive buying - the big players reversed direction.
🟠 ORANGE TEXT "FAILED SHIFT ↑" / "FAILED SHIFT ↓" = Failed Institutional Reversal
When a FLOW SHIFT appears but then gets rejected by the opposite side within 3-10 bars. This means institutions TRIED to reverse but couldn't - the other side is defending hard. Example: "FAILED SHIFT ↑" at $99,900 means bulls attempted to take control but bears defended and stopped the reversal - this is a bearish sign, price likely continues down.
🟢 GREEN "COILED" LABEL BELOW PRICE = Bullish Compression Setup
When price is compressed below VA Low with 5+ MICRO-SR resistance levels stacked overhead AND bullish momentum is building. This is a spring-loaded long setup - price is coiled under resistance ready to explode upward. Example: BTC at $99,700, VA Low at $100,000, 7 MICRO-SR levels stacked from $100,100-$100,400, and delta shows +45 with bullish flow → "COILED" appears. This means price is compressed like a spring with bullish pressure building - when it breaks, it will rip through all those overhead levels fast.
🔴 RED "COILED" LABEL ABOVE PRICE = Bearish Compression Setup
When price is extended above VA High with 5+ MICRO-SR support levels stacked below AND bearish momentum is building. This is a spring-loaded short setup - price is coiled above support ready to crash downward. Example: BTC at $100,500, VA High at $100,200, 6 MICRO-SR levels stacked from $100,000-$99,700, and delta shows -52 with bearish flow → "COILED" appears. This means price is compressed with bearish pressure building - when it breaks down, it will slice through all those support levels.
🔴🟢 "REJECT" LABEL = Failed Breakout / Rejection
When price enters a cluster zone (resistance or support) but shows opposite momentum - the breakout attempt failed. Example: Price pushed up into overhead resistance at $100,200 but delta turns bearish (-38) → "REJECT" appears in red above price. This means the breakout attempt was rejected, bulls who entered are trapped, expect reversal down.
⚠️ "WALL ↑" / "WALL ↓" = Resistance/Support Wall Alert
When 5+ MICRO-SR levels are stacked together creating a "wall" of resistance or support. These are significant barriers where price will likely stall or reverse. Example: "WALL ↑ 7x" means there are 7 MICRO-SR resistance levels stacked above current price - breaking through this will be very difficult without strong momentum and volume.
🔴🟢 "BULL ATTACK" / "BEAR ATTACK" = Aggressive Momentum
One side is attacking with both high delta AND increasing volume. This is active warfare. Example: "BEAR ATTACK" at $100,050 means sellers are aggressively dumping with rising volume - price is likely to drop fast.
🛡️ "BULL DEFENSE" / "BEAR DEFENSE" = Holding the Line
One side has high delta but volume is flat or decreasing - they're defending a level, not pushing. Example: "BULL DEFENSE" at $99,850 means buyers are absorbing sells to prevent BTC from dropping further, but they're not strong enough to push up yet.
⚖️ "EQUILIBRIUM" / "ROTATION" = Balanced Market
Bulls and bears are equally matched - perfect for range trading, terrible for breakout trades. Example: "EQUILIBRIUM" at $100,000 means the market is perfectly balanced here - trade the range, don't chase breakouts.
📈📉 "UP" / "DN" ARROWS = Volume Trend
Small green "UP" or red "DN" labels show if volume is increasing or decreasing at that price level over time. Example: "UP" at $99,900 means more traders are entering positions at this price compared to earlier - this level is becoming more important.
⇈⇊ DOUBLE ARROWS = Delta Momentum Acceleration
These show when delta is accelerating rapidly - not just strong, but GETTING STRONGER. Example: ⇈ at $100,050 means bullish delta isn't just high, it's accelerating - expect explosive upward movement.
🟢🔴 VELOCITY BANDS (Horizontal bars far right) = Volume Acceleration
Thin horizontal bars extending from the profile show how fast volume is building. Green = volume accelerating up, Red = volume accelerating down. Example: Green velocity band at $100,100 means volume is spiking at this level right now - action is heating up.
💜 "x3.8" LABEL ABOVE CANDLE = Volume Spike Signal
Magenta text showing volume multiplier. Example: "x3.2" above a BTC candle means this candle had 3.2 times the average volume - something big just happened (news, liquidation cascade, whale entry).
🟢🔴 THICK LINE AT VA HIGH/LOW = Breakout with Momentum
When BTC breaks the VA line, the line changes:
- Thin line (width 2) = Weak breakout (<30Δ momentum)
- Medium line (width 3) = Medium breakout (30-60Δ)
- Thick dashed line (width 4) = STRONG breakout (>60Δ) - THIS IS THE FLASH
The label also changes: "VA High 72Δ V✓ STRONG" = 72 delta momentum, volume confirmed, strong breakout.
🔵 CYAN DASHED LINE AT POC = POC Bounce Flash
A short cyan dashed line appears when BTC bounces off the POC with a bullish reversal candle. This is your highest-probability long entry - the POC "magnet" just pulled price back and bulls are responding.
───────────────────────────────────────────────
🧠 PATTERN COMBINATIONS = Market Psychology (What Traders Are Thinking)
───────────────────────────────────────────────
🚀 PATTERN 1: "The Nitro Boost" (Highest Win Rate)
WHAT YOU SEE: FLOW SHIFT ↑ appears below current price + only MICRO-SR (magenta) levels above + Volume Spike (x2.5+)
PSYCHOLOGY: Big money just reversed from selling to buying. Retail still thinks it's going down. All the nearby resistance levels are weak (just micro-levels). The explosion in volume means someone BIG just entered.
EXAMPLE: BTC at $99,900, FLOW SHIFT ↑ just appeared, above you see MICRO-SR at $100,000, $100,050, $100,100 with no major resistance. Volume spike shows x3.1. → Institutions flipped bullish and the path of least resistance is UP. These MICRO-SR levels will be blown through like paper.
TRADE: Long immediately, targets at each MICRO-SR level, stop below the FLOW SHIFT price.
💎 PATTERN 2: "The Wall" (Reversal Setup)
WHAT YOU SEE: BULL/BEAR EXHAUST at a price level + Price approaching POC from above/below + Delta momentum arrows (⇊) pointing opposite to price movement
PSYCHOLOGY: One side pushed too hard and ran out of gas right as they're approaching the most important price level (POC). Delta momentum is reversing. The "wall" of volume at POC will reject them.
EXAMPLE: BTC pushed from $99,800 to $100,200, now "BULL EXHAUST" appears at $100,200. POC is at $100,000. You see ⇊ (bearish delta acceleration). → Bulls exhausted themselves pushing up, POC will act as resistance, bears are accelerating. Price will get rejected back down.
TRADE: Short at current price, target is POC at $100,000, stop above the exhaust level.
⚔️ PATTERN 3: "The War Zone" (Stay Out)
WHAT YOU SEE: BULL ATTACK and BEAR ATTACK labels alternating rapidly + EQUILIBRIUM or ROTATION at current price + VA lines very close together
PSYCHOLOGY: Bulls and bears are in full battle mode, neither side is winning. The market is chopping violently in a tight range. This is where retail gets destroyed by whipsaw.
EXAMPLE: BTC bouncing between $99,900-$100,100. "BULL ATTACK" at $100,000, "BEAR ATTACK" at $100,050, "EQUILIBRIUM" at $100,025. VA High at $100,100, VA Low at $99,900. → Pure chaos. Both sides throwing punches, nobody winning.
TRADE: STAY OUT. Wait for exhaustion or flow shift. If you must trade, use very tight ranges (buy at VA Low, sell at VA High, 5-tick stops).
🎯 PATTERN 4: "The Breakout Confirmation" (High Confidence)
WHAT YOU SEE: VA breakout with STRONG label + Volume spike (x2.0+) + FLOW SHIFT in breakout direction + No major resistance for 50+ ticks
PSYCHOLOGY: Every signal is aligned. Price broke the fair value range WITH strong momentum, WITH volume confirmation, WITH institutional flow reversal. This is the "perfect storm" breakout.
EXAMPLE: BTC breaks VA High at $100,200. Label changes to "VA High 68Δ V✓ STRONG" (thick dashed line). Volume spike shows x2.8. FLOW SHIFT ↑ appears at $100,210. Next resistance is MICRO-SR at $100,400. → This is as good as it gets. Institutions are buying, retail FOMO is coming, momentum is strong.
TRADE: Long on the breakout, targets at +100 ticks ($100,300), +200 ticks ($100,400), trail stop below the breakout candle.
🛡️ PATTERN 5: "The Failed Breakout" (Fade Setup)
WHAT YOU SEE: VA breakout with WEAK label + No volume spike + DEFENSE label appears (opposite side) + Delta momentum arrows pointing back into VA
PSYCHOLOGY: Price tried to break out but without conviction. No volume = no big players interested. The defending side is holding the line. Breakout traders are about to get trapped.
EXAMPLE: BTC breaks VA High at $100,200. Label shows "VA High 23Δ WEAK" (thin line). No volume spike. "BEAR DEFENSE" appears at $100,220. You see ⇊ (bearish acceleration). → Weak breakout, bears defending, momentum reversing. Bull breakout traders are trapped.
TRADE: Short the failed breakout, target is back inside VA (POC at $100,000), stop above the high.
🧲 PATTERN 6: "The POC Magnet" (Mean Reversion)
WHAT YOU SEE: Price far from POC (100+ ticks away) + Volume decreasing (DN arrows) + No ATTACK or FLOW SHIFT labels + MICRO-SR levels between current price and POC
PSYCHOLOGY: Price overextended from the most important level. No new aggressive volume is coming in. Market is tired. Like a rubber band, price will snap back to POC where most traders are positioned.
EXAMPLE: BTC at $100,350, POC at $100,000 (350 ticks away). "DN" arrows showing volume declining. "ROTATION" at current price. MICRO-SR at $100,300, $100,200, $100,100. → Overextended, running out of steam, POC will pull it back.
TRADE: Short with targets at each MICRO-SR level on the way down to POC, final target at POC itself.
💥 PATTERN 7: "The Liquidation Cascade" (Momentum Continuation)
WHAT YOU SEE: Multiple consecutive candles with volume spikes (x2.5+) + ATTACK label same direction + Delta momentum arrows same direction (⇈ or ⇊) + Breaking through MICRO-SR levels without stopping
PSYCHOLOGY: Liquidations are triggering more liquidations. Stop losses are getting hit, triggering more stop losses. This is a cascade - it won't stop until hitting POC or VA boundary. Retail is getting destroyed, institutions are feasting.
EXAMPLE: BTC drops from $100,200. Candles show x2.7, x3.1, x2.9 volume spikes. "BEAR ATTACK" at every level. ⇊ arrows accelerating. MICRO-SR levels at $100,100, $100,000, $99,900 all getting destroyed. POC at $99,750. → Liquidation cascade in progress. Won't stop until POC.
TRADE: If you're in the direction, hold until POC. If not in, wait for POC to enter counter-trend. DO NOT try to catch this knife early.
🔄 PATTERN 8: "The Reversal Confirmation" (Highest Probability Entry)
WHAT YOU SEE: POC Bounce Flash (cyan dashed line) + FLOW SHIFT in new direction + Volume spike + Price bouncing off POC with bullish/bearish engulfing candle
PSYCHOLOGY: Price hit the most important level (POC) and institutions just reversed direction. This is THE signal. The magnet worked, price came back to POC, and big money is now pushing it the other way.
EXAMPLE: BTC drops to POC at $100,000. Cyan dashed POC bounce flash appears. Bullish engulfing candle. "FLOW SHIFT ↑" appears. Volume spike x2.6. → Perfect reversal setup at the most important price level with institutional confirmation.
TRADE: Long at POC, target next MICRO-SR or VA High, stop below POC. This is your highest win-rate setup.
🎪 PATTERN 9: "The Fake-Out Trap" (Avoid or Fade)
WHAT YOU SEE: FLOW SHIFT appears + No volume spike + EXHAUST label appears within 3-5 candles same direction + Delta momentum arrows reverse
PSYCHOLOGY: Someone tried to fake a reversal (maybe a whale painting the tape) but there's no real follow-through. The move exhausted immediately. Traders who followed the FLOW SHIFT are about to get trapped.
EXAMPLE: "FLOW SHIFT ↑" appears at $99,950. No volume spike. Within 3 candles, "BULL EXHAUST" appears at $100,000. ⇊ arrows appear. → False reversal, trap set, traders entering longs are getting baited.
TRADE: Fade it. Short when exhaust appears, target back below the fake FLOW SHIFT level.
🏆 PATTERN 10: "The Perfect Storm Long" (All Systems Go)
WHAT YOU SEE: Price above POC + FLOW SHIFT ↑ + VA Low breakout with STRONG + Volume spike + Only MICRO-SR resistance above + BULL ATTACK label + ⇈ acceleration
PSYCHOLOGY: Everything aligned bullish. Institutions buying, momentum strong, volume confirming, path clear. This is when retail FOMO kicks in and you get the biggest moves.
EXAMPLE: BTC at $100,100. POC at $100,000 (above POC ✓). "FLOW SHIFT ↑" at $100,050 ✓. "VA Low 71Δ V✓ STRONG" breakout ✓. Volume x3.4 ✓. MICRO-SR at $100,300, $100,500 (weak resistance) ✓. "BULL ATTACK" ✓. ⇈ arrows ✓. → Every single bullish signal firing. This is the setup you wait for all day.
TRADE: Long with size, targets at +200 ticks minimum, trail aggressively, stop only if FLOW SHIFT reverses.
🎯 PATTERN 11: "The Coiled Spring" (High Probability Breakout)
WHAT YOU SEE: "COILED" label appears + 5-8 MICRO-SR levels stacked in breakout direction + Delta +30 or higher (for long) / -30 or lower (for short) + Price compressed below VA Low (long) or above VA High (short)
PSYCHOLOGY: Price is compressed in a weak position with heavy resistance/support overhead, BUT institutions are building momentum in the direction of the breakout. When it breaks, all those clustered MICRO-SR levels will be blown through rapidly because the spring is loaded. This is the setup where you get 100-200 tick moves in minutes.
EXAMPLE: BTC at $99,650. VA Low at $100,000. "COILED" (green) appears below price. WALL ↑ 8x showing 8 MICRO-SR levels from $100,100-$100,800. Delta shows +47. FLOW SHIFT ↑ just appeared. → Price is coiled below massive resistance wall with strong bullish momentum building. When VA Low breaks, the spring releases and price will rip through all 8 resistance levels.
TRADE: Long when price breaks VA Low with volume confirmation, targets at each MICRO-SR cluster (+100, +200, +300 ticks), trail stop below breakout candle. This is your "moonshot" setup.
🛑 PATTERN 12: "The Failed Shift Trap" (Fade Setup)
WHAT YOU SEE: "FAILED SHIFT ↑" or "FAILED SHIFT ↓" appears + Strong opposite momentum (⇊ for failed bull shift, ⇈ for failed bear shift) + No volume spike + Price back in original range
PSYCHOLOGY: Institutions attempted a reversal but the other side defended hard and rejected it. Traders who followed the FLOW SHIFT are now trapped. The failed reversal confirms the original trend will continue - the defending side is in control.
EXAMPLE: BTC pushed from $100,200 to $99,900. "FLOW SHIFT ↓" appeared at $100,100 signaling bearish reversal. Within 5 bars, bulls defended at $99,850, pushing price back to $100,000. "FAILED SHIFT ↓" now appears at $100,100 with ⇈ (bullish acceleration). → Bears tried to reverse trend but failed. Bulls defended successfully. Original uptrend continues.
TRADE: Fade the failed shift. If "FAILED SHIFT ↓" appears, go long (bulls won the battle). If "FAILED SHIFT ↑" appears, go short (bears won). Target is back to the other side of the range.
⚠️ PATTERN 13: "The Wall Collision" (High Risk, High Reward)
WHAT YOU SEE: "WALL ↑" or "WALL ↓" with 6+ levels + Price approaching wall with strong momentum (ATTACK label) + Volume spike + Delta accelerating (⇈ or ⇊)
PSYCHOLOGY: Unstoppable force meeting immovable object. Price is charging at a massive wall of resistance/support with strong momentum. Either it breaks through explosively OR it gets rejected violently. This is binary - huge win or huge loss.
EXAMPLE: BTC at $100,050 with "BULL ATTACK" and ⇈ arrows. Volume x3.2. Approaching "WALL ↑ 9x" at $100,200-$100,600. POC at $100,300 (inside the wall). → Bulls charging at massive resistance wall with strong momentum. If they break through, it's explosive. If rejected, crash back down.
TRADE: ADVANCED ONLY. Wait for the collision. If price breaks through wall with FLOW SHIFT confirmation + volume spike, go long immediately with tight stop. If price gets REJECTED (bearish delta appears at wall), short immediately targeting POC. DO NOT enter before knowing the outcome.
🔄 PATTERN 14: "The Rejection Reversal" (Counter-Trend Entry)
WHAT YOU SEE: "REJECT" label appears + Price in cluster zone + Opposite side DEFENSE or ATTACK label appears + Delta momentum reverses (⇈ to ⇊ or vice versa)
PSYCHOLOGY: The breakout failed, trapped traders are exiting, and the opposite side is now attacking the weak hands. This creates fast moves back in the original direction.
EXAMPLE: BTC breaks VA High to $100,250. Weak volume, delta only +22. Enters overhead MICRO-SR cluster. "REJECT" appears in red. "BEAR DEFENSE" appears at $100,280. ⇊ arrows appear. → Breakout failed, bulls trapped, bears attacking. Price will reverse fast.
TRADE: Counter-trend entry in direction of REJECT. Short when "REJECT" appears with bearish confirmation, target is back to POC or VA Low. Stop above the rejection high. Fast scalp.

Remember: The indicator shows you WHERE the big money is (POC), WHAT they're doing (FLOW SHIFT), and HOW HARD they're doing it (volume spikes, momentum). Your job is to follow the big money, not fight them. When institutions shift, you shift. When they exhaust, you fade. When they're in a war, you stay out. Trade with the whales, not against them.

ENHANCED DELTA VOLUME PROFILE - TECHNICAL CALCULATIONS GUIDE
How Each Element is Actually Calculated
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
🧮 CORE CALCULATIONS (The Math Behind What You See)
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
📊 VOLUME BINS = Price range divided into 40 horizontal slices
The indicator takes the last 100 candles (configurable), finds the highest and lowest price touched, then divides that range into 40 equal "bins" (horizontal price levels). Each bin collects volume from candles that touched that price range. Example: BTC ranged from $99,500 to $100,500 in the last 100 bars. That's $1,000 range ÷ 40 bins = $25 per bin. Bin 1 = $99,500-$99,525, Bin 2 = $99,525-$99,550, etc.
🟦🟥 DELTA CALCULATION = (Bull Volume - Bear Volume) / Total Volume × 100
For each bin, the indicator separates bullish candles (close > open) from bearish candles (close < open). Delta = ((bull volume - bear volume) / total volume) × 100. This gives you a percentage from -100% (pure selling) to +100% (pure buying). Example: At $100,000, if 70 BTC was traded on green candles and 30 BTC on red candles, delta = ((70-30)/100) × 100 = 40% bullish.
🎨 GRADIENT COLOR = Delta converted to color spectrum
The delta percentage (-100 to +100) is mapped to a color gradient. -100% = pure bearish color (orange/red), 0% = neutral, +100% = pure bullish color (cyan/blue). The color you see on each bar directly represents the delta. Example: A bright cyan bar = high positive delta (strong buying), orange bar = high negative delta (strong selling), gray bar = balanced (delta near 0%).
🟩 POC (Point of Control) = Bin with the absolute highest total volume
The indicator sums up all volume in each of the 40 bins, then finds which bin has the most. That's your POC. Example: Bin 15 (around $100,000) collected 1,250 BTC of volume, which is more than any other bin. Bin 15 is your POC. This is where the most trading happened and where most traders are positioned.
⬜ VALUE AREA (VA) = The bins containing 70% of total volume, centered on POC
Starting from the POC, the indicator expands up and down, adding bins one at a time (choosing the bin with more volume each time) until it has captured 70% of all volume. The top of this range = VA High, bottom = VA Low. Example: POC at $100,000. Expanding out captures 70% of volume from $99,700 to $100,300. VA Low = $99,700, VA High = $100,300.
📈📉 VOLUME TREND = (Recent Volume - Old Volume) / Total Volume
The indicator splits your 100-bar lookback into three periods: Recent (last 15 bars), Mid (bars 15-30), and Older (last 15 bars of the 100). For each bin, it compares recent volume to older volume. If recent > older, trend is UP. If recent < older, trend is DOWN. Example: At $100,000, recent 15 bars had 80 BTC volume, older 15 bars had 40 BTC. Trend = (80-40)/(80+40) = 0.33 = UP. This shows volume is increasing at this level.
💜 MICRO-SR DETECTION = High volume (>60% of max) + High hits (>20% of max) + Active volume trend
A bin becomes MICRO-SR if: (1) Its volume is at least 60% of the highest-volume bin, (2) Price touched it frequently (at least 20% as many times as the most-touched bin), (3) Volume trend isn't flat (absolute trend > 0.05). Example: Bin at $99,975 has 750 BTC (75% of max), was hit 45 times (30% of max hits), volume trend = 0.08. = MICRO-SR (magenta border).
🟡 EXHAUSTION DETECTION = Extreme delta (>65%) + Declining volume trend (<-0.15) OR Extreme delta + Volume spike (>1.5× average)
Two ways to detect exhaustion: (1) One side dominated (delta > 65% or < -65%) BUT volume is decreasing (trend < -0.15), meaning participation is dropping. (2) Extreme delta WITH a huge volume spike (>1.5× average for that bin), meaning climactic volume. Example: At $100,200, delta = 72% bullish, but volume trend = -0.22 (declining). = BULL EXHAUST. Bulls won but are running out of steam.
🔵 FLOW SHIFT DETECTION = Delta changed sign (+ to - or - to +) + Delta change >40% + Volume trend increasing (>0.1)
Compares each bin's delta to the previous bin's delta. If delta flipped from negative to positive (or vice versa) by more than 40%, AND volume is increasing, = FLOW SHIFT. Example: Previous bin at $99,950 had -35% delta (bearish). Current bin at $100,000 has +45% delta (bullish). Change = 80% (flipped + exceeded 40%), volume trend = +0.15. = FLOW SHIFT ↑.
⇈⇊ DELTA MOMENTUM = Current delta - Average delta of last 3 bins
For each bin, the indicator looks at the previous 3 bins, calculates their average delta, then compares current delta to that average. If current delta is significantly higher/lower than the 3-bin average, momentum arrows appear. Example: Last 3 bins had deltas of 20%, 25%, 30% (average = 25%). Current bin delta = 55%. Momentum = 55 - 25 = +30 = ⇈ (strong bullish acceleration).
🟢🔴 VOLUME ACCELERATION = Rate of change of volume trend across three periods
Compares how volume changed from Old→Mid vs Mid→Recent. If Recent increased MORE than Mid did compared to Old, = positive acceleration. Formula: ((Recent-Mid) - (Mid-Old)) / |Mid-Old|. Example: Old=100, Mid=120, Recent=160. Mid increased by 20, Recent increased by 40. Acceleration = (40-20)/20 = 1.0 = strong acceleration (green velocity band).
⚖️ BALANCE SCORE = Combines volume balance, price range balance, and hit frequency
Three factors weighted equally: (1) How balanced is bull vs bear volume? (1 - |bull-bear|/total). (2) How tight is the price range? (1 - avgRange/maxRange). (3) How frequently was it hit? (hits/maxHits). Multiply these together. Score >0.7 = EQUILIBRIUM. Example: Volume is 55% bull / 45% bear = 0.9 balance. Range is tight = 0.8. Hit frequently = 0.85. Score = 0.9 × 0.8 × 0.85 = 0.61 = ROTATION.
📊 BULL/BEAR ATTACK/DEFENSE = Delta threshold (>60% or <-60%) + Volume trend direction
ATTACK = High delta (>60% either direction) + Volume trend increasing (>0.15). DEFENSE = High delta (>60% either direction) + Volume trend NOT increasing (≤0.15). Example: Delta = 68% bullish, volume trend = 0.22 = BULL ATTACK (buying with increasing volume). Delta = 68% bullish, volume trend = 0.05 = BULL DEFENSE (buying but volume not increasing).
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
🎯 SIGNAL CALCULATIONS (The New Features)
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
💜 VOLUME SPIKE = Current bar volume / 20-bar average volume
Takes the current candle's volume and divides it by the simple moving average of the last 20 candles' volume. If ratio >2.0 (configurable), spike detected. The label shows the exact multiplier. Example: Current candle = 450 BTC volume. 20-bar average = 140 BTC. Ratio = 450/140 = 3.21 = "x3.2" label appears in magenta above the candle.
🟢🔴 VA BREAKOUT MOMENTUM = POC bin's delta (absolute value)
When price breaks VA High or VA Low, the indicator looks at the POC bin's delta to measure momentum strength. Uses absolute value (ignore direction). <30 = WEAK, 30-60 = MED, >60 = STRONG. Line thickness and style change based on this. Example: BTC breaks VA High. POC bin delta = 72%. Momentum = 72 = STRONG. Line = width 4 (thick), dashed (flash effect), label shows "VA High 72Δ V✓ STRONG".
📊 BREAKOUT LINE THICKNESS = Momentum-based dynamic sizing
- Momentum <30: Line width = 2 (thin), solid line
- Momentum 30-60: Line width = 3 (medium), solid line
- Momentum >60: Line width = 4 (thick), dashed line (creates flash effect)
Example: Breakout with 45% momentum = width 3 solid line. Breakout with 75% momentum = width 4 dashed line (flashing).
✓ VOLUME CONFIRMATION = Current volume / 20-bar average >1.5
Checks if the breakout candle has strong volume. If current volume is at least 1.5× the 20-bar average, adds "V✓" to the label. Example: Breakout candle has 280 BTC volume, 20-bar average is 160 BTC. Ratio = 280/160 = 1.75 > 1.5 = "V✓" appears in label.
🔵 POC BOUNCE DETECTION = Price within 0.5 bin-step of POC + Bullish reversal candle + Previous candle was bearish
Three conditions must all be true: (1) Current close price is within half a bin's height from POC price. (2) Current candle is bullish (close > open). (3) Previous candle was bearish (close < open). If all true = POC bounce, cyan dashed flash line appears. Example: POC at $100,000, bin step = $25. Current close = $100,008 (within $12.50 of POC ✓). Current candle green ✓. Previous candle red ✓. = POC Bounce Flash.

⚙️ TECHNICAL PARAMETERS (What You Can Adjust)
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
🔢 LOOKBACK PERIOD (Default: 100 bars) = How much history to analyze
The number of candles backwards from current that get analyzed. More bars = more stable but slower to react. Fewer bars = more reactive but noisier. For 1-minute BTC scalping, 100 bars = last 100 minutes = 1 hour 40 minutes of data. Example: Setting to 50 bars makes it more reactive to recent action but less stable. Setting to 200 bars makes it smoother but slower to show new developments.
🎚️ NUMBER OF BINS (Default: 40) = Resolution of price levels
How many horizontal slices to divide the price range into. More bins = finer resolution but more noise. Fewer bins = smoother but less precise. 40 bins for 1-minute = good balance. Example: With $1,000 range, 40 bins = $25 per level. 20 bins would be $50 per level (less precise). 60 bins would be $16.67 per level (more precise but noisier).
📏 DISPLAY OFFSET (Default: 10 bars) = How far right the profile extends
How many bars to the right of current candle the volume profile displays. Purely visual - doesn't affect calculations. Example: Offset = 10 means the profile extends 10 bars to the right. Offset = 30 means it extends further right (more separation from candles).
📊 VOLUME TREND PERIOD (Default: 15 bars) = How many recent bars define "recent"
The number of bars considered "recent" vs "old" when calculating volume trends. Shorter = more sensitive to very recent changes. Longer = smoother trends. Example: 15 bars means "recent" = last 15 candles (last 15 minutes on 1m chart). Setting to 5 would make it hyper-reactive to the last 5 minutes. Setting to 30 would make it smoother.
🎯 EXHAUSTION THRESHOLD (Default: 65%) = How extreme delta must be for exhaustion
The minimum delta percentage to trigger exhaustion detection. Higher = more selective (only extreme cases). Lower = more signals but more false positives. Example: 65% means delta must be >65% or <-65% to qualify. Setting to 75% would only catch the most extreme exhaustion. Setting to 55% would catch more cases.
💜 MICRO-LEVEL THRESHOLD (Default: 60%) = How strong a level must be for MICRO-SR
The minimum volume percentage (relative to max) required for MICRO-SR detection. Higher = fewer, stronger levels. Lower = more levels but weaker. Example: 60% means bin must have at least 60% of the max bin's volume. Setting to 70% would show only the strongest levels. Setting to 50% would show more levels.
⚡ DELTA MOMENTUM PERIOD (Default: 3 bars) = How many bins to average for momentum
How many previous bins to average when calculating delta momentum. Shorter = more sensitive acceleration signals. Longer = smoother, less noisy. Example: 3 bins means compares current to average of last 3. Setting to 5 would smooth out momentum detection. Setting to 2 would make it more reactive.
🌊 FLOW SHIFT SENSITIVITY (Default: 40%) = Minimum delta change for flow shift
How much delta must change between consecutive bins to trigger FLOW SHIFT. Lower = more flow shift signals (more sensitive). Higher = fewer, stronger signals. Example: 40% means delta must flip by at least 40% (e.g., from -20% to +20% or from +10% to -30%). Setting to 60% would only catch major reversals. Setting to 25% would catch smaller shifts.
💥 VOLUME SPIKE THRESHOLD (Default: 2.0x) = Multiplier to trigger spike signal
How many times above average volume must be to show the spike label. Higher = fewer spikes shown (only extreme). Lower = more spikes shown. Example: 2.0× means current volume must be at least double the 20-bar average. Setting to 3.0× would only show massive spikes. Setting to 1.5× would show more moderate spikes.
🚀 BREAKOUT MOMENTUM MINIMUM (Default: 20%) = Minimum delta for breakout signal
How much delta momentum required at POC for VA breakout to trigger. Higher = fewer breakout signals (more selective). Lower = more signals but more false positives. Example: 20% means POC delta must be at least 20% (or -20%) when price breaks VA. Setting to 30% would only show strong breakouts. Setting to 10% would show weaker breakouts too.
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
🔬 ADVANCED TECHNICAL DETAILS
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
📐 BIN POSITIONING = Price-to-bin mapping formula
For any price P, its bin index = floor((P - MinPrice) / BinStep). BinStep = (MaxPrice - MinPrice) / NumBins. Example: Range $99,000-$100,000, 40 bins. BinStep = $1,000/40 = $25. Price $99,550 → Bin 22: (99,550 - 99,000) / 25 = 22.
📊 VOLUME DISTRIBUTION = Proportional allocation across bins
When a candle spans multiple bins, its volume is distributed proportionally based on how much of the candle's range overlapped each bin. Example: Candle from $99,950 to $100,050 (range = $100) with 50 BTC volume. Bin 1 ($99,950-$99,975) gets 25% of range = 12.5 BTC. Bin 2 ($99,975-$100,000) gets 25% = 12.5 BTC. Bin 3 ($100,000-$100,025) gets 25% = 12.5 BTC. Bin 4 ($100,025-$100,050) gets 25% = 12.5 BTC.
🎨 COLOR GRADIENT MAPPING = Delta to RGB conversion
Delta percentage is normalized to 0-1 scale (from -100/+100 range), then mapped to RGB gradient. -100% (0.0) = Full bearish color RGB. 0% (0.5) = Neutral gray. +100% (1.0) = Full bullish color RGB. Example: Delta = 60% → Normalized = 0.8 → 80% towards full bullish color (bright cyan).
⚖️ BALANCE SCORE FORMULA = Weighted geometric mean
BalanceScore = (VolumeBalance^w) × (PriceBalance^w) × (HitBalance^w), where w=weight (default 1.0). VolumeBalance = 1 - |BullVol - BearVol|/TotalVol. PriceBalance = 1 - AvgRange/MaxRange. HitBalance = Hits/MaxHits. Example: Vol=0.9, Price=0.8, Hit=0.7 → Score = 0.9 × 0.8 × 0.7 = 0.504.
🔄 DELTA HISTORY TRACKING = Rolling array per bin
Each bin maintains an array of its last N delta values (where N = delta momentum period). When calculating momentum, current delta is compared to the average of this array. Example: Bin's delta history = . Average = 25%. Current = 55%. Momentum = 55 - 25 = 30.
📈 VOLUME VELOCITY = Second derivative of volume
Measures acceleration of volume change. Recent change = (Recent - Mid). Old change = (Mid - Old). Acceleration = (Recent change - Old change) / |Old change|. Positive = accelerating. Negative = decelerating. Example: Old=100, Mid=150, Recent=220. Recent change = 70. Old change = 50. Accel = (70-50)/50 = 0.4 = 40% acceleration.
🎯 VA EXPANSION ALGORITHM = Greedy breadth-first from POC
Start at POC bin. While accumulated volume < 70% of total: Look at bin above and bin below POC boundary. Choose whichever has more volume. Add that bin to VA. Repeat. Example: POC at bin 20. Bin 21 (above) has 80 BTC, Bin 19 (below) has 95 BTC. Add bin 19. Now VA = bins 19-20. Next: Bin 21 has 80, Bin 18 has 70. Add bin 21. VA = bins 19-21. Continue until 70% captured.
⏱️ REAL-TIME UPDATES = Recalculates on every new bar close
The entire profile recalculates when barstate.islast = true (current bar). All 40 bins are cleared and rebuilt from scratch using the last N candles. This ensures the profile is always accurate to the current market state. Example: On 1-minute chart, the profile fully recalculates every 60 seconds when the new candle opens.
🎨 RENDERING OPTIMIZATION = 500-bar future limit management
TradingView limits drawing objects to 500 bars into the future. The indicator calculates safe offsets: maxFutureBar = bar_index + 499, then caps all box/line/label positions to stay under this limit. Example: Current bar_index = 1000. Max future = 1499. Display offset wanted = 200. Safe offset = min(200, 400 - 100) = min(200, 300) = 200 ✓ safe.

💡 INTERPRETATION TIPS
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
🔢 Understanding Percentages:
- Delta 0-30%: Weak bias, essentially balanced
- Delta 30-60%: Moderate bias, one side has control
- Delta 60-85%: Strong bias, one side dominated
- Delta 85-100%: Extreme bias, one-sided market (exhaustion likely)
📊 Volume Trend Interpretation:
- Trend -1.0 to -0.3: Strong decline in participation
- Trend -0.3 to -0.1: Moderate decline
- Trend -0.1 to +0.1: Stable/flat volume
- Trend +0.1 to +0.3: Moderate increase
- Trend +0.3 to +1.0: Strong increase in participation
🎯 Balance Score Ranges:
- 0.0-0.3: Heavily imbalanced, strong directional bias
- 0.3-0.5: Moderate imbalance, rotation forming
- 0.5-0.7: Balanced rotation zone
- 0.7-1.0: Perfect equilibrium, range-bound
⚡ Momentum Thresholds:
- <10: Negligible momentum change
- 10-20: Moderate acceleration
- 20-40: Strong acceleration (arrow appears)
- >40: Extreme acceleration (very rare, very significant)
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Understanding these calculations helps you know WHY the indicator is showing what it's showing. When you see "FLOW SHIFT ↑", you now know it calculated a >40% delta flip with increasing volume. When you see MICRO-SR, you know that level has >60% of max volume, >20% of max hits, and active participation. When you see ⇈, you know delta jumped significantly above its 3-bin average. Use this knowledge to trust the signals and understand their strength.

Multiple Naked LevelsPURPOSE OF THE INDICATOR
This indicator autogenerates and displays naked levels and gaps of multiple types collected into one simple and easy to use indicator.
VALUE PROPOSITION OF THE INDICATOR AND HOW IT IS ORIGINAL AND USEFUL
1) CONVENIENCE : The purpose of this indicator is to offer traders with one coherent and robust indicator providing useful, valuable, and often used levels - in one place.
2) CLUSTERS OF CONFLUENCES : With this indicator it is easy to identify levels and zones on the chart with multiple confluences increasing the likelihood of a potential reversal zone.
THE TYPES OF LEVELS AND GAPS INCLUDED IN THE INDICATOR
The types of levels include the following:
1) PIVOT levels (Daily/Weekly/Monthly) depicted in the chart as: dnPIV, wnPIV, mnPIV.
2) POC (Point of Control) levels (Daily/Weekly/Monthly) depicted in the chart as: dnPoC, wnPoC, mnPoC.
3) VAH/VAL STD 1 levels (Value Area High/Low with 1 std) (Daily/Weekly/Monthly) depicted in the chart as: dnVAH1/dnVAL1, wnVAH1/wnVAL1, mnVAH1/mnVAL1
4) VAH/VAL STD 2 levels (Value Area High/Low with 2 std) (Daily/Weekly/Monthly) depicted in the chart as: dnVAH2/dnVAL2, wnVAH2/wnVAL2, mnVAH1/mnVAL2
5) FAIR VALUE GAPS (Daily/Weekly/Monthly) depicted in the chart as: dnFVG, wnFVG, mnFVG.
6) CME GAPS (Daily) depicted in the chart as: dnCME.
7) EQUILIBRIUM levels (Daily/Weekly/Monthly) depicted in the chart as dnEQ, wnEQ, mnEQ.
HOW-TO ACTIVATE LEVEL TYPES AND TIMEFRAMES AND HOW-TO USE THE INDICATOR
You can simply choose which of the levels to be activated and displayed by clicking on the desired radio button in the settings menu.
You can locate the settings menu by clicking into the Object Tree window, left-click on the Multiple Naked Levels and select Settings.
You will then get a menu of different level types and timeframes. Click the checkboxes for the level types and timeframes that you want to display on the chart.
You can then go into the chart and check out which naked levels that have appeared. You can then use those levels as part of your technical analysis.
The levels displayed on the chart can serve as additional confluences or as part of your overall technical analysis and indicators.
In order to back-test the impact of the different naked levels you can also enable tapped levels to be depicted on the chart. Do this by toggling the 'Show tapped levels' checkbox.
Keep in mind however that Trading View can not shom more than 500 lines and text boxes so the indocator will not be able to give you the complete history back to the start for long duration assets.
In order to clean up the charts a little bit there are two additional settings that can be used in the Settings menu:
- Selecting the price range (%) from the current price to be included in the chart. The default is 25%. That means that all levels below or above 20% will not be displayed. You can set this level yourself from 0 up to 100%.
- Selecting the minimum gap size to include on the chart. The default is 1%. That means that all gaps/ranges below 1% in price difference will not be displayed on the chart. You can set the minimum gap size yourself.
BASIC DESCRIPTION OF THE INNER WORKINGS OF THE INDICTATOR
The way the indicator works is that it calculates and identifies all levels from the list of levels type and timeframes above. The indicator then adds this level to a list of untapped levels.
Then for each bar after, it checks if the level has been tapped. If the level has been tapped or a gap/range completely filled, this level is removed from the list so that the levels displayed in the end are only naked/untapped levels.
Below is a descrition of each of the level types and how it is caluclated (algorithm):
PIVOT
Daily, Weekly and Monthly levels in trading refer to significant price points that traders monitor within the context of a single trading day. These levels can provide insights into market behavior and help traders make informed decisions regarding entry and exit points.
Traders often use D/W/M levels to set entry and exit points for trades. For example, entering long positions near support (daily close) or selling near resistance (daily close).
Daily levels are used to set stop-loss orders. Placing stops just below the daily close for long positions or above the daily close for short positions can help manage risk.
The relationship between price movement and daily levels provides insights into market sentiment. For instance, if the price fails to break above the daily high, it may signify bearish sentiment, while a strong breakout can indicate bullish sentiment.
The way these levels are calculated in this indicator is based on finding pivots in the chart on D/W/M timeframe. The level is then set to previous D/W/M close = current D/W/M open.
In addition, when price is going up previous D/W/M open must be smaller than previous D/W/M close and current D/W/M close must be smaller than the current D/W/M open. When price is going down the opposite.
POINT OF CONTROL
The Point of Control (POC) is a key concept in volume profile analysis, which is commonly used in trading.
It represents the price level at which the highest volume of trading occurred during a specific period.
The POC is derived from the volume traded at various price levels over a defined time frame. In this indicator the timeframes are Daily, Weekly, and Montly.
It identifies the price level where the most trades took place, indicating strong interest and activity from traders at that price.
The POC often acts as a significant support or resistance level. If the price approaches the POC from above, it may act as a support level, while if approached from below, it can serve as a resistance level. Traders monitor the POC to gauge potential reversals or breakouts.
The way the POC is calculated in this indicator is by an approximation by analysing intrabars for the respective timeperiod (D/W/M), assigning the volume for each intrabar into the price-bins that the intrabar covers and finally identifying the bin with the highest aggregated volume.
The POC is the price in the middle of this bin.
The indicator uses a sample space for intrabars on the Daily timeframe of 15 minutes, 35 minutes for the Weekly timeframe, and 140 minutes for the Monthly timeframe.
The indicator has predefined the size of the bins to 0.2% of the price at the range low. That implies that the precision of the calulated POC og VAH/VAL is within 0.2%.
This reduction of precision is a tradeoff for performance and speed of the indicator.
This also implies that the bigger the difference from range high prices to range low prices the more bins the algorithm will iterate over. This is typically the case when calculating the monthly volume profile levels and especially high volatility assets such as alt coins.
Sometimes the number of iterations becomes too big for Trading View to handle. In these cases the bin size will be increased even more to reduce the number of iterations.
In such cases the bin size might increase by a factor of 2-3 decreasing the accuracy of the Volume Profile levels.
Anyway, since these Volume Profile levels are approximations and since precision is traded for performance the user should consider the Volume profile levels(POC, VAH, VAL) as zones rather than pin point accurate levels.
VALUE AREA HIGH/LOW STD1/STD2
The Value Area High (VAH) and Value Area Low (VAL) are important concepts in volume profile analysis, helping traders understand price levels where the majority of trading activity occurs for a given period.
The Value Area High/Low is the upper/lower boundary of the value area, representing the highest price level at which a certain percentage of the total trading volume occurred within a specified period.
The VAH/VAL indicates the price point above/below which the majority of trading activity is considered less valuable. It can serve as a potential resistance/support level, as prices above/below this level may experience selling/buying pressure from traders who view the price as overvalued/undervalued
In this indicator the timeframes are Daily, Weekly, and Monthly. This indicator provides two boundaries that can be selected in the menu.
The first boundary is 70% of the total volume (=1 standard deviation from mean). The second boundary is 95% of the total volume (=2 standard deviation from mean).
The way VAH/VAL is calculated is based on the same algorithm as for the POC.
However instead of identifying the bin with the highest volume, we start from range low and sum up the volume for each bin until the aggregated volume = 30%/70% for VAL1/VAH1 and aggregated volume = 5%/95% for VAL2/VAH2.
Then we simply set the VAL/VAH equal to the low of the respective bin.
FAIR VALUE GAPS
Fair Value Gaps (FVG) is a concept primarily used in technical analysis and price action trading, particularly within the context of futures and forex markets. They refer to areas on a price chart where there is a noticeable lack of trading activity, often highlighted by a significant price movement away from a previous level without trading occurring in between.
FVGs represent price levels where the market has moved significantly without any meaningful trading occurring. This can be seen as a "gap" on the price chart, where the price jumps from one level to another, often due to a rapid market reaction to news, events, or other factors.
These gaps typically appear when prices rise or fall quickly, creating a space on the chart where no transactions have taken place. For example, if a stock opens sharply higher and there are no trades at the prices in between the two levels, it creates a gap. The areas within these gaps can be areas of liquidity that the market may return to “fill” later on.
FVGs highlight inefficiencies in pricing and can indicate areas where the market may correct itself. When the market moves rapidly, it may leave behind price levels that traders eventually revisit to establish fair value.
Traders often watch for these gaps as potential reversal or continuation points. Many traders believe that price will eventually “fill” the gap, meaning it will return to those price levels, providing potential entry or exit points.
This indicator calculate FVGs on three different timeframes, Daily, Weekly and Montly.
In this indicator the FVGs are identified by looking for a three-candle pattern on a chart, signalling a discrete imbalance in order volume that prompts a quick price adjustment. These gaps reflect moments where the market sentiment strongly leans towards buying or selling yet lacks the opposite orders to maintain price stability.
The indicator sets the gap to the difference from the high of the first bar to the low of the third bar when price is moving up or from the low of the first bar to the high of the third bar when price is moving down.
CME GAPS (BTC only)
CME gaps refer to price discrepancies that can occur in charts for futures contracts traded on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME). These gaps typically arise from the fact that many futures markets, including those on the CME, operate nearly 24 hours a day but may have significant price movements during periods when the market is closed.
CME gaps occur when there is a difference between the closing price of a futures contract on one trading day and the opening price on the following trading day. This difference can create a "gap" on the price chart.
Opening Gaps: These usually happen when the market opens significantly higher or lower than the previous day's close, often influenced by news, economic data releases, or other market events occurring during non-trading hours.
Gaps can result from reactions to major announcements or developments, such as earnings reports, geopolitical events, or changes in economic indicators, leading to rapid price movements.
The importance of CME Gaps in Trading is the potential for Filling Gaps: Many traders believe that prices often "fill" gaps, meaning that prices may return to the gap area to establish fair value.
This can create potential trading opportunities based on the expectation of gap filling. Gaps can act as significant support or resistance levels. Traders monitor these levels to identify potential reversal points in price action.
The way the gap is identified in this indicator is by checking if current open is higher than previous bar close when price is moving up or if current open is lower than previous day close when price is moving down.
EQUILIBRIUM
Equilibrium in finance and trading refers to a state where supply and demand in a market balance each other, resulting in stable prices. It is a key concept in various economic and trading contexts. Here’s a concise description:
Market Equilibrium occurs when the quantity of a good or service supplied equals the quantity demanded at a specific price level. At this point, there is no inherent pressure for the price to change, as buyers and sellers are in agreement.
Equilibrium Price is the price at which the market is in equilibrium. It reflects the point where the supply curve intersects the demand curve on a graph. At the equilibrium price, the market clears, meaning there are no surplus goods or shortages.
In this indicator the equilibrium level is calculated simply by finding the midpoint of the Daily, Weekly, and Montly candles respectively.
NOTES
1) Performance. The algorithms are quite resource intensive and the time it takes the indicator to calculate all the levels could be 5 seconds or more, depending on the number of bars in the chart and especially if Montly Volume Profile levels are selected (POC, VAH or VAL).
2) Levels displayed vs the selected chart timeframe. On a timeframe smaller than the daily TF - both Daily, Weekly, and Monthly levels will be displayed. On a timeframe bigger than the daily TF but smaller than the weekly TF - the Weekly and Monthly levels will be display but not the Daily levels. On a timeframe bigger than the weekly TF but smaller than the monthly TF - only the Monthly levels will be displayed. Not Daily and Weekly.
CREDITS
The core algorithm for calculating the POC levels is based on the indicator "Naked Intrabar POC" developed by rumpypumpydumpy (https:www.tradingview.com/u/rumpypumpydumpy/).
The "Naked intrabar POC" indicator calculates the POC on the current chart timeframe.
This indicator (Multiple Naked Levels) adds two new features:
1) It calculates the POC on three specific timeframes, the Daily, Weekly, and Monthly timeframes - not only the current chart timeframe.
2) It adds functionaly by calculating the VAL and VAH of the volume profile on the Daily, Weekly, Monthly timeframes .
Historic VPoCs and pseudo VPVRThis study tries to recreate session based historic VPoCs
and VPVR Volume Profile
as they are used by
TradingLatino TradingView user.
It's aimed at BTCUSDT pair and 4h timeframe.
HOW IT WORKS
HOW IT WORKS - VPVR Profile Block
It gathers volume from the last chosen Bars
in order to draw the vpvr profile block
Volume that intersects with current level range
being studied is added to its value.
Additionally the current level price is modified
so that it matches the level price where most
of the volume has concentrated
So you get a pretty accurate price for drawn volume
while at the same time the levels are not stuck
to arbitrary level prices.
HOW IT WORKS - VPoC
It calculates a Volume Profile for the
given historic session but then
it only outputs that Volume Profile VPoC.
SETTINGS
Show VPVR Volume Profile {True}.
Show Historic VPoC lines {True}.
Show Historic VPoC labels {True}.
Extend Historic VPoC lines {True}: If this option is turned off the VPoC lines are only shown during the session duration.
Show tick difference from current price {False}: BETA. Feedback is needed because I'm not sure how it should work this setting.
VPVR Number of bars {100}: Define the Visible Range in number of bars so that its Volume Profile can be shown.
VPVR Profile width (in bars) {15}: VPVR Profile can be make larger or smaller in width thanks to this option.
VPVR Profile offset (in bars) {15}: VPVR Profile can be shown more to the left or to the right if the defaults do not suit you.
Historic Session Volume Profile timeframe {1D}: Historic VPoC use 1 day as their timeframe reference by default.
Number of decimal digits {2}: How many decimal digits are shown in label prices.
Number of previous sessions to print VPoC {5}: How many previous sessions VPoCs are to be printed. The maximum for this setting is 20.
Historic VPoC lines width (in pixels) {2}.
Historic VPoC labels size {small}.
History VPoC line offset (in bars) {5}: How far to the right VPoCs lines are to be extended. Note: This setting does not apply when 'Extend Historic VPoC lines' is set to 'False'.
WARNING
Please be aware that VPoC from the first previous session might not be accurate due to Pine Script limitations.
VPVR USAGE
This is not a VPVR like the official TradingView indicator.
This is a pseudo VPVR and that means it needs some manual input from you.
But, don't worry it's quite easy to do and if you always use the same number
of bars to calculate your VPVR then you might even just set it up once.
In order to show the VPVR (or Volume Profile on the Visible Range):
Rescale your chart so that you see all the bars for your Visible Range.
Click on the ruler tool.
Click on the last bar (far to the right) shown on the screen
Drag the ruler to first bar (far to the left) shown on the screen
Check what the ruler says
E.g. it says: 101 bars
Open this study settings
Modify: 'VPVR Number of bars ' setting
So that its value matches your measured number of bars (101)
Press OK to confirm and wait for the indicator to refresh.
STRATEGY USAGE
If your strategy uses VPoC
to define your resistances
or supports
you can check the VPoCs shown here.
FEEDBACK
I have only used this identifier in BTCUSDT 4h timeframe.
I'm interested to know what needs to be tweaked
in other securities and timeframes.

Delta Volume Candles [LucF]█ OVERVIEW
This indicator plots on-chart volume delta information using candles that can replace your normal candles, tops and bottoms appended to normal candles, optional MAs of those tops and bottoms levels, a divergence channel and a chart background. The indicator calculates volume delta using intrabar analysis, meaning that it uses the lower timeframe bars constituting each chart bar.
█ CONCEPTS
Volume Delta
The volume delta concept divides a bar's volume in "up" and "down" volumes. The delta is calculated by subtracting down volume from up volume. Many calculation techniques exist to isolate up and down volume within a bar. The simplest use the polarity of interbar price changes to assign their volume to up or down slots, e.g., On Balance Volume or the Klinger Oscillator . Others such as Chaikin Money Flow use assumptions based on a bar's OHLC values. The most precise calculation method uses tick data and assigns the volume of each tick to the up or down slot depending on whether the transaction occurs at the bid or ask price. While this technique is ideal, it requires huge amounts of data on historical bars, which considerably limits the historical depth of charts and the number of symbols for which tick data is available. Furthermore, historical tick data is not yet available on TradingView.
This indicator uses intrabar analysis to achieve a compromise between the simplest and most precise methods of calculating volume delta. It is currently the most precise method usable on TradingView charts. TradingView's Volume Profile built-in indicators use it, as do the CVD - Cumulative Volume Delta Candles and CVD - Cumulative Volume Delta (Chart) indicators published from the TradingView account . My Delta Volume Channels and Volume Delta Columns Pro indicators also use intrabar analysis. Other volume delta indicators such as my Realtime 5D Profile use realtime chart updates to calculate volume delta without intrabar analysis, but that type of indicator only works in real time; they cannot calculate on historical bars.
This is the logic I use to determine the polarity of intrabars, which determines the up or down slot where its volume is added:
• If the intrabar's open and close values are different, their relative position is used.
• If the intrabar's open and close values are the same, the difference between the intrabar's close and the previous intrabar's close is used.
• As a last resort, when there is no movement during an intrabar, and it closes at the same price as the previous intrabar, the last known polarity is used.
Once all intrabars making up a chart bar have been analyzed and the up or down property of each intrabar's volume determined, the up volumes are added, and the down volumes subtracted. The resulting value is volume delta for that chart bar, which can be used as an estimate of the buying/selling pressure on an instrument. Not all markets have volume information. Without it, this indicator is useless.
Intrabar analysis
Intrabars are chart bars at a lower timeframe than the chart's. The timeframe used to access intrabars determines the number of intrabars accessible for each chart bar. On a 1H chart, each chart bar of an active market will, for example, usually contain 60 bars at the lower timeframe of 1min, provided there was market activity during each minute of the hour.
This indicator automatically calculates an appropriate lower timeframe using the chart's timeframe and the settings you use in the script's "Intrabars" section of the inputs. As it can access lower timeframes as small as seconds when available, the indicator can be used on charts at relatively small timeframes such as 1min, provided the market is active enough to produce bars at second timeframes.
The quantity of intrabars analyzed in each chart bar determines:
• The precision of calculations (more intrabars yield more precise results).
• The chart coverage of calculations (there is a 100K limit to the quantity of intrabars that can be analyzed on any chart,
so the more intrabars you analyze per chart bar, the less chart bars can be calculated by the indicator).
The information box displayed at the bottom right of the chart shows the lower timeframe used for intrabars, as well as the average number of intrabars detected for chart bars and statistics on chart coverage.
Balances
This indicator calculates five balances from volume delta values. The balances are oscillators with a zero centerline; positive values are bullish, and negative values are bearish. It is important to understand the balances as they can be used to:
• Color candle bodies.
• Calculate body and top and bottom divergences.
• Color an EMA channel.
• Color the chart's background.
• Configure markers and alerts.
The five balances are:
1 — Bar Balance : This is the only balance using instant values; it is simply the subtraction of the down volume from the up volume on the bar, so the instant volume delta for that bar.
2 — Average Balance : Calculates a distinct EMA for both the up and down volumes, and subtracts the down EMA from the up EMA.
The result is akin to MACD's histogram because it is the subtraction of two moving averages.
3 — Momentum Balance : Starts by calculating, separately for both up and down volumes, the difference between the same EMAs used in "Average Balance" and
an SMA of twice the period used for the "Average Balance" EMAs. The difference for the up side is subtracted from the difference for the down side,
and an RSI of that value is calculated and brought over the −50/+50 scale.
4 — Relative Balance : The reference values used in the calculation are the up and down EMAs used in the "Average Balance".
From those, we calculate two intermediate values using how much the instant up and down volumes on the bar exceed their respective EMA — but with a twist.
If the bar's up volume does not exceed the EMA of up volume, a zero value is used. The same goes for the down volume with the EMA of down volume.
Once we have our two intermediate values for the up and down volumes exceeding their respective MA, we subtract them. The final value is an ALMA of that subtraction.
The rationale behind using zero values when the bar's up/down volume does not exceed its EMA is to only take into account the more significant volume.
If both instant volume values exceed their MA, then the difference between the two is the signal's value.
The signal is called "relative" because the intermediate values are the difference between the instant up/down volumes and their respective MA.
This balance flatlines when the bar's up/down volumes do not exceed their EMAs, which makes it useful to spot areas where trader interest dwindles, such as consolidations.
The smaller the period of the final value's ALMA, the more easily it will flatline. These flat zones should be considered no-trade zones.
5 — Percent Balance : This balance is the ALMA of the ratio of the "Bar Balance" over the total volume for that bar.
From the balances and marker conditions, two more values are calculated:
1 — Marker Bias : This sums the up/down (+1/‒1) occurrences of the markers 1 to 4 over a period you define, so it ranges from −4 to +4, times the period.
Its calculation will depend on the modes used to calculate markers 3 and 4.
2 — Combined Balances : This is the sum of the bull/bear (+1/−1) states of each of the five balances, so it ranges from −5 to +5.
The periods for all of these balances can be configured in the "Periods" section at the bottom of the script's inputs. As you cannot see the balances on the chart, you can use my Volume Delta Columns Pro indicator in a pane; it can plot the same balances, so you will be able to analyze them.
Divergences
In the context of this indicator, a divergence is any bar where the bear/bull state of a balance (above/below its zero centerline) diverges from the polarity of a chart bar. No directional bias is assigned to divergences when they occur. Candle bodies and tops/bottoms can each be colored differently on divergences detected from distinct balances.
Divergence Channel
The divergence channel is the space between two levels (by default, the bar's open and close ) saved when divergences occur. When price (by default the close ) has breached a channel and a new divergence occurs, a new channel is created. Until that new channel is breached, bars where additional divergences occur will expand the channel's levels if the bar's price points are outside the channel.
Prices breaches of the divergence channel will change its state. Divergence channels can be in one of three different states:
• Bull (green): Price has breached the channel to the upside.
• Bear (red): Price has breached the channel to the downside.
• Neutral (gray): The channel has not yet been breached.
█ HOW TO USE THE INDICATOR
I do not make videos to explain how to use my indicators. I do, however, try hard to include in their description everything one needs to understand what they do. From there, it's up to you to explore and figure out if they can be useful in your trading practice. Communicating in videos what this description and the script's tooltips contain would make for very long videos that would likely exceed the attention span of most people who find this description too long. There is no quick way to understand an indicator such as this one because it uses many different concepts and has quite a bit of settings one can use to modify its visuals and behavior — thus how one uses it. I will happily answer questions on the inner workings of the indicator, but I do not answer questions like "How do I trade using this indicator?" A useful answer to that question would require an in-depth analysis of who you are, your trading methodology and objectives, which I do not have time for. I do not teach trading.
Start by loading the indicator on an active chart containing volume information. See here if you need help.
The default configuration displays:
• Normal candles where the bodies are only colored if the bar's volume has increased since the last bar.
If you want to use this indicator's candles, you may want to disable your chart's candles by clicking the eye icon to the right of the symbol's name in the top left of the chart.
• A top or bottom appended to the normal candles. It represents the difference between up and down volume for that bar
and is positioned at the top or bottom, depending on its polarity. If up volume is greater than down volume, a top is displayed. If down volume is greater, a bottom is plotted.
The size of tops and bottoms is determined by calculating a factor which is the proportion of volume delta over the bar's total volume.
That factor is then used to calculate the top or bottom size relative to a baseline of the average candle body size of the last 100 bars.
• An information box in the bottom right displaying intrabar and chart coverage information.
• A light red background when the intrabar volume differs from the chart's volume by more than 1%.
The script's inputs contain tooltips explaining most of the fields. I will not repeat them here. Following is a brief description of each section of the indicator's inputs which will give you an idea of what the indicator can do:
Normal Candles is where you configure the replacement candles plotted by the script. You can choose from different coloring schemes for their bodies and specify a unique color for bodies where a divergence calculated using the method you choose occurs.
Volume Tops & Botttoms is where you configure the display of tops and bottoms, and their EMAs. The EMAs are calculated from the high point of tops and the low point of bottoms. They can act as a channel to evaluate price, and you can choose to color the channel using a gradient reflecting the advances/declines in the balance of your choice.
Divergence Channel is where you set up the appearance and behavior of the divergence channel. These areas represent levels where price and volume delta information do not converge. They can be interpreted as regions with no clear direction from where one will look for breaches. You can configure the channel to take into account one or both types of divergences you have configured for candle bodies and tops/bottoms.
Background allows you to configure a gradient background color that reflects the advances/declines in the balance of your choice. You can use this to provide context to the volume delta values from bars. You can also control the background color displayed on volume discrepancies between the intrabar and the chart's timeframe.
Intrabars is where you choose the calculation mode determining the lower timeframe used to access intrabars. The indicator uses the chart's timeframe and the type of market you are on to calculate the lower timeframe. Your setting there should reflect which compromise you prefer between the precision of calculations and chart coverage. This is also where you control the display of the information box in the lower right corner of the chart.
Markers allows you to control the plotting of chart markers on different conditions. Their configuration determines when alerts generated from the indicator will fire. Note that in order to generate alerts from this script, they must be created from your chart. See this Help Center page to learn how. Only the last 500 markers will be visible on the chart, but this will not affect the generation of alerts.
Periods is where you configure the periods for the balances and the EMAs used in the indicator.
The raw values calculated by this script can be inspected using the Data Window.
█ INTERPRETATION
Rightly or wrongly, volume delta is considered by many a useful complement to the interpretation of price action. I use it extensively in an attempt to find convergence between my read of volume delta and price movement — not so much as a predictor of future price movement. No system or person can predict the future. Accordingly, I consider people who speak or act as if they know the future with certainty to be dangerous to themselves and others; they are charlatans, imprudent or blissfully ignorant.
I try to avoid elaborate volume delta interpretation schemes involving too many variables and prefer to keep things simple:
• Trends that have more chances of continuing should be accompanied by VD of the same polarity.
In trends, I am looking for "slow and steady". I work from the assumption that traders and systems often overreact, which translates into unproductive volatility.
Wild trends are more susceptible to overreactions.
• I prefer steady VD values over wildly increasing ones, as large VD increases often come with increased price volatility, which can backfire.
Large VD values caused by stopping volume will also often occur on trend reversals with abnormally high candles.
• Prices escaping divergence channels may be leading a trend in that direction, although there is no telling how long that trend will last; could be just a few bars or hundreds.
When price is in a channel, shifts in VD balances can sometimes give us an idea of the direction where price has the most chance of breaking.
• Dwindling VD will often indicate trend exhaustion and predate reversals by many bars, but the problem is that mere pauses in a trend will often produce the same behavior in VD.
I think it is too perilous to infer rigidly from VD decreases.
Divergence Channel
Here I have configured the divergence channels to be visible. First, I set the bodies to display divergences on the default Bar Balance. They are indicated by yellow bodies. Then I activated the divergence channels by choosing to draw levels on body divergences and checked the "Fill" checkbox to fill the channel with the same color as the levels. The divergence channel is best understood as a direction-less area from where a breach can be acted on if other variables converge with the breach's direction:
Tops and Bottoms EMAs
I find these EMAs rather interesting. They have no equivalent elsewhere, as they are calculated from the top and bottom values this indicator plots. The only similarity they have with volume-weighted MAs, including VWAP, is that they use price and volume. This indicator's Tops and Bottoms EMAs, however, use the price and volume delta. While the channel differs from other channels in how it is calculated, it can be used like others, as a baseline from which to evaluate price movement or, alternatively, as stop levels. Remember that you can change the period used for the EMAs in the "Periods" section of the inputs.
This chart shows the EMAs in action, filled with a gradient representing the advances/decline from the Momentum balance. Notice the anomaly in the chart's latest bars where the Momentum balance gradient has been indicating a bullish bias for some time, during which price was mostly below the EMAs. Price has just broken above the channel on positive VD. My interpretation of this situation would be that it is a risky opportunity for a long trade in the larger context where the market has been in a downtrend since the 5th. Intrepid traders choosing to enter here could do so with a "make or break" tight stop that will minimize their losses should the market continue its downtrend while hopefully preserving the potential upside of price continuing on the longer-term uptrend prevalent since the 28th:
█ NOTES
Volume
If you use indicators such as this one which depends on volume information, it is important to realize that the volume data they consume comes from data feeds, and that all data feeds are NOT created equally. Those who create the data feeds we use must make decisions concerning the nature of the transactions they tally and the way they are tallied in each feed, and these decisions affect the nature of our volume data. My Volume X-ray publication discusses some of the reasons why volume information from different timeframes, brokers/exchanges or sectors may vary considerably. I encourage you to read it. This indicator's display of a warning through a background color on volume discrepancies between the timeframe used to access intrabars and the chart's timeframe is an attempt to help you realize these variations in feeds. Don't take things for granted, and understand that the quality of a given feed's volume information affects the quality of the results this indicator calculates.
Markets as ecosystems
I believe it is perilous to think that behavioral patterns you discover in one market through the lens of this or any other indicator will necessarily port to other markets. While this may sometimes be the case, it will often not. Why is that? Because each market is its own ecosystem. As cities do, all markets share some common characteristics, but they also all have their idiosyncrasies. A proportion of a city's inhabitants is always composed of outsiders who come and go, but a core population of regulars and systems is usually the force that actually defines most of the city's observable characteristics. I believe markets work somewhat the same way; they may look the same, but if you live there for a while and pay attention, you will notice the idiosyncrasies. Some things that work in some markets will, accordingly, not work in others. Please keep that in mind when you draw conclusions.
On Up/Down or Buy/Sell Volume
Buying or selling volume are misnomers, as every unit of volume transacted is both bought and sold by two different traders. While this does not keep me from using the terms, there is no such thing as “buy only” or “sell only” volume. Trader lingo is riddled with peculiarities. Without access to order book information, traders work with the assumption that when price moves up during a bar, there was more buying pressure than selling pressure, just as when buy market orders take out limit ask orders in the order book at successively higher levels. The built-in volume indicator available on TradingView uses this logic to color the volume columns green or red. While this script’s calculations are more precise because it analyses intrabars to calculate its information, it uses pretty much the same imperfect logic. Until Pine scripts can have access to how much volume was transacted at the bid/ask prices, our volume delta calculations will remain a mere proxy.
Repainting
• The values calculated on the realtime bar will update as new information comes from the feed.
• Historical values may recalculate if the historical feed is updated or when calculations start from a new point in history.
• Markers and alerts will not repaint as they only occur on a bar's close. Keep this in mind when viewing markers on historical bars,
where one could understandably and incorrectly assume they appear at the bar's open.
To learn more about repainting, see the Pine Script™ User Manual's page on the subject .
Superfluity
In "The Bed of Procrustes", Nassim Nicholas Taleb writes: To bankrupt a fool, give him information . This indicator can display a lot of information. The inevitable adaptation period you will need to figure out how to use it should help you eliminate all the visuals you do not need. The more you eliminate, the easier it will be to focus on those that are the most useful to your trading practice. Don't be a fool.

Advanced Delta Trading System ProAdvanced Delta Trading System Pro
Overview
This indicator is an advanced order flow analysis tool that combines Delta Volume Analysis, Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD), Multi-Timeframe Trend Confirmation, and Volume Profile Zones to identify high-probability trading opportunities based on institutional buying and selling pressure.
🔍 Core Concepts & Methodology
1. Range-Weighted Delta Calculation (Original Implementation)
Unlike basic delta indicators that simply subtract selling volume from buying volume, this script uses a range-weighted approach:
Range Weight = |Price Movement| / Candle Range
Bar Delta = Volume × Direction × Range Weight
Why this matters:
Accounts for intra-bar price action strength
Provides more accurate representation of directional conviction
Filters out low-conviction volume during ranging periods
2. Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) with Momentum
The script calculates CVD by accumulating bar deltas and applies:
EMA smoothing to reduce noise (adjustable period)
Delta Momentum indicator: Measures the rate of change of delta relative to its average
CVD Slope detection: Identifies accumulation/distribution phases
Formula:
Delta Momentum = Current Absolute Delta / Average Absolute Delta
This normalized momentum metric helps filter low-conviction signals.
3. Multi-Timeframe CVD Confluence (Unique Feature)
The indicator pulls CVD trend data from a higher timeframe (default: 15min) to:
Confirm signals only when aligned with HTF institutional flow
Display HTF bias in the dashboard (Bull ▲ / Bear ▼ / Neutral)
Prevent counter-trend trades against larger timeframe momentum
Edge: Many delta indicators operate on single timeframes; this multi-timeframe approach significantly reduces false signals.
4. Volume Profile Zone Detection
Instead of static support/resistance, the script dynamically identifies:
High Volume Nodes (HVN): Areas with 1.5x above-average volume - potential magnets/reversal zones
Low Volume Nodes (LVN): Areas with <0.5x average volume - breakout zones with minimal resistance
These zones are visualized as semi-transparent boxes on the chart, updated in real-time.
5. Delta-CVD Divergence Detection
The script identifies:
Bullish Divergence: Price makes lower low while CVD makes higher low (accumulation)
Bearish Divergence: Price makes higher high while CVD makes lower high (distribution)
Uses pivot detection with adjustable lookback periods and draws divergence lines automatically.
🎯 Signal Generation Logic
Buy Signal Requirements:
Bar delta exceeds threshold (Average Delta × Imbalance Multiplier)
Delta momentum ≥ minimum threshold (default: 1.2)
CVD slope is positive (accumulation phase)
Higher timeframe CVD is bullish (if MTF enabled)
Candle closes green (price confirmation)
Sell Signal Requirements:
Same criteria but inverted for selling pressure.
Enhanced Signals:
Signals are strengthened when accompanied by divergences, combining immediate imbalance with underlying accumulation/distribution patterns.
📊 Visual Features

HTF Bias Panel: Show/hide dashboard element
🔔 Alert Conditions
Long/Short Signals: Fires when all confluence conditions met
Divergence Alerts: Bullish/Bearish divergence detected
Extreme Momentum: Delta momentum exceeds 2.5× average
HTF Trend Change: Higher timeframe CVD reverses
💡 How to Use
For Scalping:
Use 1-5min charts with 15min HTF confirmation
Focus on extreme momentum alerts (>2.5×)
Enter on signals near HVN zones for better R:R
For Swing Trading:
Use 15min-1H charts with 4H HTF confirmation
Wait for divergences + signal confluence
Avoid LVN zones (price likely to slice through)
Volume Profile Strategy:
Buy at HVN support with bullish delta
Sell at HVN resistance with bearish delta
Target LVN zones for breakout trades
🆚 What Makes This Script Unique
Unlike standard delta indicators, this combines:
Range-weighted delta (more accurate than simple volume delta)
Multi-timeframe confirmation (institutional flow alignment)
Dynamic volume profile zones (not static S/R)
Momentum-filtered signals (reduces noise significantly)
Divergence integration (catches reversals early)
Compared to free alternatives: Most delta scripts show raw cumulative delta without momentum filtering, MTF analysis, or volume profile integration. This script provides a complete order flow analysis system in one indicator.
⚠️ Important Notes
Not a standalone system: Use with price action and market structure
Optimize settings per asset: Crypto needs different settings than forex/stocks
Higher timeframes = more reliable: Reduce noise on lower timeframes with longer smoothing
Volume quality matters: Works best on high-liquidity assets with accurate volume data
📈 Best Timeframes
Scalping: 1m-5m (with 15m HTF)
Day Trading: 5m-15m (with 1H HTF)
Swing Trading: 1H-4H (with D HTF)
This indicator is designed for traders who understand order flow concepts and want a comprehensive, multi-layered approach to delta analysis beyond basic cumulative volume delta indicators.
Accumulation And Distribution Zones (Zeiierman)█ Overview
Accumulation And Distribution Zones (Zeiierman) is a structural zone indicator that highlights where the market has recently been absorbing sell pressure (Accumulation) or releasing buy pressure (Distribution).
The indicator tracks a refined sequence of swing highs and lows and measures how these swings tighten, expand, or step directionally. When they form staircase-style structures such as higher lows with compressing highs for Accumulation or lower highs with compressing lows for Distribution, the script marks these areas as shifts in market control.
Once the full pattern completes, the indicator converts it into an Accumulation or Distribution zone. Each zone is based on a confirmed structural sequence rather than a single point, making it more reliable and reflective of actual market behavior.
The indicator can also display a mini-volume profile within each zone and extend POC levels forward, showing where trading activity clustered most. Combined, these features reveal areas where price has recently shown acceptance, absorption, or rejection, helping you understand whether current price action is reacting to, breaking from, or retesting these important structural regions.
█ How It Works
⚪ Swing Structure
The indicator builds its foundation by detecting swing highs and lows using a configurable Swing Detection Window. Each confirmed swing is stored with its price, time, bar index, and direction. If two consecutive swings share the same direction, only the more extreme one is kept. This produces a clean structural sequence that removes noise and keeps only meaningful turning points.
⚪ Accumulation vs Distribution Pattern Logic
Using the refined swing sequence, the script looks for staircase-style formations that signal shifts in control:
Accumulation (bottoming): higher lows combined with compressing highs.
Distribution (topping): lower highs combined with compressing lows.
Two detection modes are available:
Quick for compact 4-swing formations
Slow for broader 6-swing structures
When a full structural pattern completes, the indicator marks the zone and resets the swing buffer for the next formation.
⚪ Volume Profile Construction
The price range between the zone’s upper and lower boundary is divided into several Rows. For every bar within the zone’s swing range, the bar’s volume is added to the appropriate price row.
Volume is classified as:
Bullish volume when close > open
Bearish volume when close < open
Each row is drawn as two horizontal segments (bull and bear), colored with smooth gradients based on your bull/bear color settings. This creates a compact profile that reveals where trading activity is concentrated inside the zone and whether buyers or sellers dominate those price levels.
█ How to Use
The indicator is designed to provide context and confluence, not raw buy/sell signals.
⚪ Spot Fresh Accumulation & Distribution
Use newly printed zones as a map of where the market has recently:
Absorbed selling and formed a floor (Accumulation below price).
Absorbed buying and formed a cap (Distribution above price).
In a trending environment, fresh accumulation zones below price are often areas to watch for pullbacks, while distribution zones above price can act as sell zones or targets.
⚪ Volume Profile
Longer horizontal bars show where the market traded the most volume inside the zone.
Bull-leaning rows inside an accumulation zone often signal strong buying interest during the formation.
Bear-leaning rows inside a distribution zone highlight concentrated selling pressure.
By combining this volume distribution with the zone label and the broader trend context, you can judge whether the structure is more likely to hold, break, or retest as the price approaches it again.
⚪ POC (Point of Control) Trading
Extended POC zones (Regular or Faded) can be treated as dynamic support/resistance rails:
When price revisits a prior accumulation POC and rejects it from above, the level may act as support. When price retests a distribution POC from below and fails to break through, it can act as resistance.
⚪ Combine with Your Own Strategy
The script does not decide direction for you. You get the most value by combining it with:
Your own trend filters (moving averages, higher timeframe structure, volatility measures).
Your preferred entry models (reversal candles, momentum breaks, liquidity grabs, etc.).
Higher-timeframe mapping.
Think of this tool as a map of where the market did meaningful business. You decide how to trade around those areas.
█ Settings
Acc/Dist Ranges – Master switch for drawing all Accumulation and Distribution zones. Turn this off to temporarily hide boxes while leaving supporting logic active.
Pattern – Shows or hides the swing-based pattern outline that formed each zone. Good for structural debugging and education.
Pattern Sensitivity
Quick – more responsive, detects smaller compact structures.
Slow – stricter, focuses on wider and more established zones.
Swing Detection Window – Pivot width used to confirm swing highs and lows. Larger values filter noise and produce bigger zones; smaller values pick up more minor structures.
Volume Profile – Enables the embedded volume profile inside each zone.
Rows – Number of price slices used to aggregate volume in the zone. Higher values give more detail but increase visual density.
Switch Order – Flips the horizontal order of bull vs bear volume segments within each row.
Extend Zones – Behaviour of POC and zone extension:
None – No forward extension.
Faded Zones – Store and draw up to four past POC zones as faded horizontal levels.
Regular Zones – Extend POC boxes forward until price breaks out.

Order Blocks + Order-Flow ProxiesOrder Blocks + Order-Flow Proxies
This indicator combines structural analysis of order blocks with lightweight order-flow style proxies, providing a tool for chart annotation and contextual study. It is designed to help users visualize where significant structural shifts occur and how simple volume-based signals behave around those areas. The script does not guarantee profitable outcomes, nor does it issue financial advice. It is intended purely for research, learning, and discretionary use.
Conceptual Background
Order Blocks
An “order block” is a term often used to describe a zone on the chart where price left behind a significant reversal or imbalance before continuing strongly in the opposite direction. In practice, this can mean the last bullish or bearish candle before a strong breakout. Traders sometimes study these regions because they believe that unfilled resting orders may exist there, or simply because they mark important pivots in price structure. This indicator detects such moments by scanning for breaks of structure (BOS). When price pushes above or below recent swing levels with sufficient displacement, the script identifies the prior opposite candle as the potential order block.
Break of Structure
A break of structure in this context is defined when the closing price moves beyond the highest high or lowest low of a short lookback window. The script compares the magnitude of this break to an ATR-based displacement filter. This helps ensure that only meaningful moves are marked rather than small, random fluctuations.
Order-Flow Proxies
Traditional order flow analysis may use bid/ask data, footprint charts, or volume profiles. Because TradingView scripts cannot access true order-book data, this indicator instead uses proxy signals derived from standard chart data:
Delta (proxy): Estimated imbalance of buying vs. selling pressure, approximated using bar direction and volume.
Imbalance ratio: Normalizes delta by total volume, ranging between -1 and +1 in theory.
Cumulative Delta (CVD): Running sum of delta over time.
Effort vs. Result (EvR): A comparison between volume and actual bar movement, highlighting cases where large effort produced little result (or vice versa).
These are not real order-flow measurements, but rather simple mathematical constructs that mimic some of its logic.
How the Script Works
Detecting Break of Structure
The user specifies a swing length. When price closes above the recent high (for bullish BOS) or below the recent low (for bearish BOS), a potential shift is recorded.
To qualify, the breakout must exceed a displacement filter proportional to the ATR. This helps filter out weak moves.
Locating the Order Block Candle
Once a BOS is confirmed, the script looks back within a short window to find the last opposite-colored candle.
The high/low or open/close of that candle (depending on user settings) is marked as the potential order block zone.
Drawing and Maintaining Zones
Each order block is represented as a colored rectangle extending forward in time.
Bullish zones are teal by default, bearish zones are red.
Zones extend until invalidated (price closing or wicking beyond them, depending on user preference) or until a user-defined lifespan expires.
A pruning mechanism ensures that only the most recent set number of zones remain, preventing chart overload.
Monitoring Touches
The script checks whether the current bar’s range overlaps any existing order block.
If so, the “closest” zone is considered touched, and a label may appear on the chart.
Confirmation Filters
Touches can optionally be confirmed by order-flow proxies.
For a bullish confirmation, the following must align:
Imbalance ratio above threshold,
Delta EMA positive,
Effort vs. Result positive.
For a bearish confirmation, the opposite holds true.
Optionally, a higher-timeframe EMA slope filter can gate these confirmations. For example, a bullish confirmation may only be accepted if the higher-timeframe EMA is sloping upward.
Alerts
Users may create alerts based on conditions such as “bullish touch confirmed” or “bearish touch confirmed.”
Alerts can be gated to only fire after bar close, reducing intrabar noise.
Standard alertcondition calls are provided, and optional inline alert() calls can be enabled.
Inputs and Customization
Structure & OB
Swing length: Defines how many bars back to check for BOS.
ATR length & displacement factor: Adjust sensitivity for structural breaks.
Body vs. wick reference: Choose whether zones are based on candle bodies or full ranges.
Invalidation rule: Pick between wick breach or close beyond the level.
Lifespan (bars): Limit how long a zone remains active.
Max keep: Cap the number of zones stored to reduce clutter.
Order-Flow Proxies
Delta mode: Choose between “Close vs Previous Close” or “Body” for delta calculation.
EMA length: Smooths the delta/imbalance series.
Z-score lookback: Defines the averaging window for EvR.
Confirmation thresholds: Adjust the imbalance levels required for long/short confirmation.
Higher Timeframe Filter
Enable HTF gate: Optional filter requiring higher-timeframe EMA slope alignment.
HTF timeframe & EMA length: Configurable for context alignment.
Style
Colors and transparency for bullish and bearish zones.
Border color customization.
Alerts
Enable inline alerts: Optional direct calls to alert().
Alerts on bar close only: Helps avoid multiple firings during bar formation.
Practical Use
This tool is best seen as a way to annotate charts and to study how simple volume-derived signals behave near important structural levels. Some users may:
Observe whether order blocks line up with later price reactions.
Study how imbalance or cumulative delta conditions align with these zones.
Use it in a discretionary workflow to highlight areas of interest for deeper analysis.
Because the proxies are based only on candle OHLCV data, they are approximations. They cannot replace true depth-of-market analysis. Similarly, order block detection here is one specific algorithmic interpretation; other traders may define order blocks differently.
Limitations and Disclaimers
This indicator does not predict future price movement.
It does not access real order book or tick-by-tick data. All signals are derived from bar OHLCV.
Past performance of signals or zones does not guarantee future results.
The script is for educational and informational purposes only. It is not financial advice.
Users should test thoroughly, adjust parameters to their own instruments and timeframes, and use it in combination with broader analysis.
Summary
The Order Blocks + Order-Flow Proxies script is an experimental study tool that:
Detects potential order blocks using a displacement-filtered break of structure.
Marks these zones as boxes that persist until invalidation or expiry.
Provides lightweight order-flow-style proxies such as delta, imbalance, CVD, and effort vs. result.
Allows confirmation of zone touches through these proxies and optional higher-timeframe context.
Offers flexible customization, alerting, and chart-style options.
It is not a trading system by itself but rather a framework for studying price/volume behavior around structurally significant areas. With careful exploration, it can give users new ways to visualize market structure and to understand how simple flow-like measures behave in those contexts.

Multitimeframe Fair Value Gap – FVG (Zeiierman)█ Overview
The Multitimeframe Fair Value Gap – FVG (Zeiierman) indicator provides a dynamic and customizable visualization of institutional imbalances (Fair Value Gaps) across multiple timeframes. Built for traders who seek to analyze price inefficiencies, this tool helps highlight potential entry points, unmitigated gaps, and directional bias using smart volume logic and adaptive visual elements.
A Fair Value Gap (FVG) forms when there's a three-candle sequence in which a market imbalance leaves a "gap" between the wicks of candle 1 and candle 3. These areas are often considered footprints of institutional activity, and this indicator gives you the tools to track them with surgical precision across any timeframe you choose—regardless of the one you're viewing.
This indicator also includes a trend filter powered by a low-pass Butterworth filter, enabling traders to distinguish between countertrend vs. trend-aligned FVGs for more intelligent decision-making. On top of that, it features a dynamic FVG table for live tracking and bull/bear volume power visualization inside each gap, adding powerful clarity to market intent.
█ How It Works
The indicator analyzes the open, high, low, close, and volume of candles from a user-selected timeframe. It identifies Fair Value Gaps based on wick logic and only confirms those that meet customizable strength criteria. Once detected, the indicator visualizes each FVG with dynamically extending boxes, optional buy/sell volume bars, and a real-time mitigation check.
⚪ Multitimeframe Logic
Users can analyze FVGs from a higher or lower timeframe regardless of their current chart.
This is achieved using request.security() to fetch OHLCV data from the chosen timeframe.
⚪ Wick Sensitivity & Impulse Filter
The script measures the wick size of potential FVG candles and compares them to a running average. Only FVGs with wick sizes above a certain sensitivity threshold (user-controlled) are plotted. This ensures only meaningful price dislocations (e.g., strong impulsive moves) are shown, reducing noise.
⚪ Midpoint Mitigation Logic
FVGs are marked as "mitigated" when the price revisits the gap area. Traders can choose whether full gap closure or just a midpoint touch is required. This allows faster reactivity in real-time trading environments.
⚪ Bull & Bear Power – Volume-Weighted Visualization
Every Fair Value Gap box includes sub-bars representing the estimated buy and sell effort that created the gap. These are calculated using the candle's close in relation to its high/low range and volume:
Buy Volume % ≈ effort from low to close
Sell Volume % ≈ effort from high to close
Each sub-bar inside the FVG:
Is color-coded (UpCol for bullish, DnCol for bearish)
Is drawn proportionally to the strength of buyers or sellers
Visually displays who was in control during the imbalance
⚪ FVG Table – Dynamic On-Chart Overview
The indicator includes an optional on-chart table that displays all currently active (unmitigated) FVGs in a side panel format:
Automatic updates as gaps are formed and mitigated
Color-coded rows to show bullish vs. bearish FVGs
Timestamps to know precisely when the gap formed
User-controlled position via Table Left and Table Right
This is a gap watchlist overlay, giving traders a concise view of current inefficiencies without manually scanning the chart.
⚪ FVG Trend Filter (Butterworth Smoother)
Using a two-pole Butterworth low-pass filter, the indicator computes a trendline based on average FVG values, offering a smooth but responsive directional signal.
Passband Ripple (dB): Controls sensitivity and overshoot tolerance
Cutoff Frequency (0–0.5): Sets how quickly the trendline reacts
The trendline helps categorize each FVG:
Trend up → favor bullish FVGs
Trend down → favor bearish FVGs
It adds an extra dimension to FVG entries, helping distinguish between trend-aligned and countertrend signals.
█ How to Use
⚪ Identify Institutional Gaps
Use this tool to identify areas where institutions may have left imbalances behind quickly.
These areas often become:
Strong support/resistance zones
Areas where price might react sharply
Targets for liquidity sweeps or retracements
⚪ React to Trend or Countertrend
The built-in trendline helps categorize each FVG:
Trend up → Bullish FVGs have higher validity
Trend down → Bearish FVGs have higher validity
⚪ Volume Context via Bull/Bear Power
Each Fair Value Gap is more than just a price imbalance — it’s a story of effort and intent. The Bull/Bear Power feature visualizes the buy and sell pressure behind each FVG, helping you understand how the gap was formed and who was in control.
A bullish FVG with a strong buy effort suggests continuation potential — buyers dominated the move.
A bullish FVG with a dominant sell effort could signal a trap or reversal — sellers may have overwhelmed the breakout.
These insights allow you to confirm imbalance strength, spot traps early, and add confidence to entries based on dominant volume profiles.
Instead of viewing gaps as static zones, this feature turns each into a live volume map — a visual breakdown of who moved the market and whether that move had conviction.
⚪ Plan with the FVG Table
The FVG Table acts as your on-chart control center for tracking active imbalances. When enabled, it provides a clear summary of all unmitigated Fair Value Gaps, helping you stay organized and focused during fast-moving sessions.
Track live and historical gaps: See exactly when and where each FVG formed.
Monitor older, still-valid zones: Gaps off-screen but not mitigated remain in play — perfect for anticipating future reactions.
Gauge market bias at a glance: The balance of bullish vs. bearish FVGs helps you understand overall directional pressure.
Plan entries confidently: Use the table to reference all zones for risk management, confluence stacking, or layered execution strategies.
Instead of manually scanning your chart, the FVG Table offers a clean, at-a-glance overview of the market’s inefficiencies — giving you the structure needed to act with precision.

Lockin Strength Indicator (LSI)How It Works:
RSI Calculation: The standard RSI is calculated using a 14-period by default.
Volume Weighting: If enabled, the LSI modifies the RSI by weighting it based on the volume relative to its moving average. This emphasizes periods of high or low volume, which can be particularly useful for Solana-based assets that might have unique volume profiles.
Plotting: The LSI is plotted with standard overbought and oversold levels, and background highlighting makes these areas visually distinct.

Volume Forks [Trendoscope]🎲 Volume Forks - Advanced Price Analysis with Recursive Auto-Pitchfork and Angled Volume Profile
The Volume Forks Indicator is a comprehensive research tool that combines two innovative techniques, Recursive Auto-Pitchfork and Angled Volume Profile . This indicator provides traders with valuable insights into price dynamics by integrating accurate pitchfork drawing and volume analysis over angled levels. The indicator does following things
Detects Pitchfork formations automatically on the chart over Recursive Zigzag
Instead of drawing forks based on fib levels, volume distribution over ABC of pitchfork is calculated and drawn in the direction of the handle.
🎲 Brief about Pitchfork
Pitchfork is drawn when price forms ABC pattern. Pitchfork draws a series of parallel lines in the direction of trend which can be used for support and resistance.
There are many methods of drawing pitchfork. In all cases, a line joining BC will make the base of pitchfork and fork lines are drawn from different points of the base. All the fork lines will be parallel. But, the handle of the base defines the direction of fork lines. Classification of pitchfork is mainly based on the starting and ending points of the handle.
🎲 Regular Types
Here, end of the handle is always fixed and it will be the mid point of B and C.
🎯 Andrews Pitchfork
Handle starts from A and joins the base at mid of B and C.
Forks are drawn based on fib ratios from the handle
🎯 Schiff Pitchfork
Handle starts from Bar of A and price of middle of AB and joins the base at mid of B and C
Forks are drawn based on fib ratios from the handle
🎯 Modified Schiff Pitchfork
Handle starts from mid of A and B and joins the base at mid of B and C
Forks are drawn based on fib ratios from the handle
🎲 Inside Types
Here, C will act as end of the handle which joins the Base BC .
🎯 Andrews Pitchfork (Inside)
Handle starts from A and joins the base at C
Forks are drawn based on fib ratios from the handle
🎯 Schiff Pitchfork (Inside)
Handle starts from Bar of A and price of (A+B)/2 and joins the base at C
Forks are drawn based on fib ratios from the handle
🎯 Modified Schiff Pitchfork (Inside)
Handle starts from mid of A and B and joins the base at C
Forks are drawn based on fib ratios from the handle
🎲 Brief about Pitchfork
The Angled Volume Profile technique expands on the concept of volume profile by measuring volume distribution levels over angled levels rather than just horizontal levels. By selecting a starting point and angle interactively, traders can assess volume distribution within specific price trends. This feature is particularly useful for analysing volume dynamics in trending markets.
🎲 Settings
Indicator settings include few things which determine the scanning of pitchforks and few which determines drawing of volume profile lines.
Please note that, due to pine limitations of 500 lines, if there are too many formations on the chart, volume profile may not appear correctly. If that happens, please reduce the number of volume forks per formation.
Footprint.Pro-v3.7-EN [Elykia]Title: Footprint Pro System - Order Flow & Price Action
Footprint Pro is a comprehensive institutional-grade Order Flow suite designed to visualize the internal dynamics of a candle. It allows traders to see Bid x Ask volume, Delta, and Liquidity imbalances directly inside the bars, offering a "X-Ray" view of the market.
This tool is optimized for Scalping and Intraday trading, compatible with both Standard Timeframes and simulated Range Bars.
🔥 Key Features
1. Dual Calculation Modes
Timeframe Mode: Displays Footprints on standard candles (1m, 5m, etc.) with a live countdown.
Range Mode (Simulated): Calculates Range Bars based on volatility (Points/Ticks) rather than time. This filters out noise and highlights pure price movement.
Note: Includes a performance optimizer to limit historical calculation.
2. Advanced Visualization Styles
Standard Style: Classic box display with Bid x Ask or Total Volume numbers. Includes a Volume Heatmap that changes color intensity based on Delta strength.
Profile Style: Displays a volume profile histogram next to each candle to visualize the distribution of liquidity within the bar.
3. 🧠 Smart Assistant & Automated Setups
The script includes a real-time analysis engine that detects 5 high-probability Order Flow setups:
S1 - Rejection: Detects price reversal with strong wick rejection and Delta confirmation.
S2 - Exhaustion: Identifies a trend drying up (Volume drops significantly at highs/lows).
S3 - Absorption (Iceberg): Detects aggressive buying/selling that fails to move price (High Volume + Inverse Delta).
S4 - Trapped Traders (New): "Effort vs. Result." Detects high Delta participation but the candle closes in reverse (e.g., Doji or opposite color).
S5 - Stacked Imbalances (New): Identifies "Walls" of liquidity. Looks for 3 consecutive levels where Buy/Sell volume exceeds the imbalance ratio (default 300%).
4. Data & Analytics Dashboard
Fixed Data Ribbon: A ribbon at the bottom of the screen showing Volume, Delta, and Divergences for the last 50 candles.
Technical Dashboard: Displays current mode, Range size, and tick value.
Setups Table: An on-screen legend explaining active signals and their logic.
5. Order Flow Nuances
Delta Flip (Divergence): Highlights candles where Price and Delta disagree (e.g., Red Candle but Positive Delta), signaling a potential reversal or trap.
POC (Point of Control): auto-plots the highest volume node of the candle.
VWAP Session: Integrated anchor for confluence.
5. 🔥 Advanced Histogram & Visualization
The core of this system is its ability to break down a candle into granular price levels (bins). It offers a rich visual representation of market intent:
Dynamic Histogram:
Standard Style: Displays volume blocks inside the candle.
Profile Style: Projects a Volume Profile histogram alongside the candle to instantly identify high-volume nodes (HVN) and low-volume nodes (LVN).
Delta & Volume Data:
You can choose to display Bid x Ask interactions or Total Volume per level.
Delta Coloring: Automatically colors bars based on the net difference between buyers and sellers.
Smart Heatmap (Visual Filtering):
The script uses a dynamic Heatmap System.
Weak Levels: Displayed with high transparency (faint colors), filtering out noise.
Strong Levels: Displayed in solid, bright colors (Red/Green) when volume/delta exceeds critical thresholds. This draws your eye immediately to where the real money is exchanging hands.
🛠️ Installation & Best Setup (Critical)
For the most accurate volume filtering and "Tick-Perfect" precision, this tool is designed to work on the lowest possible timeframe.
1. Set Chart to 1-Second Timeframe:
Ideally, position your TradingView chart on the 1-second (1s) timeframe.
Why? The script aggregates these micro-movements to reconstruct higher timeframe candles with minimal data loss and maximum volume precision.
2. Clean the Chart:
Go to Chart Settings (Symbol).
Uncheck "Body", "Borders", and "Wick".
Why? The script draws its own custom candles. Hiding the native chart prevents visual clutter.
3. Configure the Footprint:
Open the Indicator Settings.
Timeframe Footprint: Select your desired trading timeframe (e.g., 1 minutes ... 15 minutes, ).
The script will now calculate and draw a perfect 5-minute Footprint candle using the high-precision 1-second data feed.
🚀 Optimization
Footprint charts are calculation-heavy. This script includes a Performance Optimization group:
Limits the number of drawn boxes.
Dynamic buffer calculation.
"Smart Load" allows you to view historical data without freezing the browser.
Recommended (Premium): To optimize the tool and precisely separate Buy/Sell, using second-based charts (1s, 5s) via a TradingView Premium subscription is highly recommended.
Disclaimer: Order Flow analysis requires practice. This tool provides data visualization and does not constitute financial advice.
Hanzo Strategy - Volume & Smart Money📊 HANZO STRATEGY - Complete Description
## 🎯 Strategy Overview
The **Hanzo Strategy** is an advanced institutional trading system that combines Volume Profile analysis, Smart Money Concepts, and Price Action patterns to identify high-probability trade setups. This strategy is specifically designed for trading Gold (XAUUSD), NAS100, and US30 on the 15-minute timeframe.
---
## 🧠 Core Trading Philosophy
The Hanzo Strategy operates on the principle that **institutional money leaves footprints** in the market through:
- Volume accumulation at key price levels
- Liquidity sweeps and stop hunts
- Order block formations
- Strategic wick rejections at support/resistance
By identifying these institutional behaviors and combining them with precise volume analysis, the strategy aims to trade **with** the smart money, not against it.
---
## 🔑 Key Components
### 1️⃣ **Fixed Range Volume Profile (FRVP)**
- **What it does:** Analyzes the last 2 days of price action and calculates where the most volume traded
- **Point of Control (POC):** The price level with the highest trading volume - acts as a magnet for price
- **How we use it:** Price tends to revert to POC. When price is far from POC and starts moving toward it, we prepare for entries
- **Visual:** Yellow cross line on the chart marking the POC
### 2️⃣ **Wick Cluster Detection**
- **What it does:** Automatically identifies price levels where multiple candle wicks have rejected (2-6+ wicks)
- **Why it matters:** Multiple rejections at the same level indicate strong institutional support/resistance
- **Upper wick clusters:** Resistance zones where price was rejected downward
- **Lower wick clusters:** Support zones where price was rejected upward
- **Visual:** Dashed lines (red for resistance, green for support)
### 3️⃣ **Session Volatility Boxes**
- **London Session (8:00-16:00 UTC+3):** Captures European market volatility range
- **New York Session (13:30-20:00 UTC+3):** Captures US market volatility range
- **How we use it:** These ranges often act as support/resistance for the rest of the day
- **Visual:** Blue box for London, Orange box for New York
### 4️⃣ **Smart Money Zones**
**Order Blocks:**
- Strong institutional areas where banks and hedge funds placed large orders
- **Bullish Order Block:** Area where smart money bought heavily before a strong upward move
- **Bearish Order Block:** Area where smart money sold heavily before a strong downward move
- **Visual:** Green/Red filled boxes with "Bull OB" or "Bear OB" labels
**Liquidity Sweeps:**
- Price breaks above recent high or below recent low, then quickly reverses
- This is a "stop hunt" - institutions triggering retail stops before moving in the real direction
- **Bullish Sweep:** Price dips below support, grabs stops, then reverses up
- **Bearish Sweep:** Price pops above resistance, grabs stops, then reverses down
- **Visual:** Triangle markers (green up = bullish, red down = bearish)
### 5️⃣ **Engulfing Pattern Recognition**
- **Bullish Engulfing:** Large green candle fully engulfs the previous red candle - shows strong buying pressure
- **Bearish Engulfing:** Large red candle fully engulfs the previous green candle - shows strong selling pressure
- **How we use it:** Confirmation signal when combined with other factors
- **Visual:** Small circles below/above candles
### 6️⃣ **Trend Bias Indicator**
- Dynamically calculates market bias based on price position relative to POC
- **Bullish:** Price > 0.2% above POC
- **Neutral:** Price within 0.2% of POC
- **Bearish:** Price > 0.2% below POC
- **Visual:** Label at top of chart showing current bias
---
## 📈 Entry Signal Logic
The strategy generates **LONG** and **SHORT** signals based on confluence of multiple factors:
### 🟢 LONG ENTRY CONDITIONS:
1. **POC Break:** Price crosses above POC from below + Trend Bias is Bullish
**OR**
2. **Support Bounce:** Price touches a lower wick cluster + Bullish Engulfing pattern forms
3. **Additional Filter:** Trend Bias must NOT be Bearish
### 🔴 SHORT ENTRY CONDITIONS:
1. **POC Break:** Price crosses below POC from above + Trend Bias is Bearish
**OR**
2. **Resistance Rejection:** Price touches an upper wick cluster + Bearish Engulfing pattern forms
3. **Additional Filter:** Trend Bias must NOT be Bullish
---
## 🎯 Risk Management
### Stop Loss:
- **Calculation:** 2 × ATR(14) from entry price
- **Logic:** Uses Average True Range to adapt to current market volatility
- **Example:** If ATR = 10 points, stop loss is 20 points away
### Take Profit:
- **Calculation:** 3 × ATR(14) from entry price
- **Risk:Reward Ratio:** 1:1.5 (risking 2 ATR to make 3 ATR)
- **Example:** If ATR = 10 points, take profit is 30 points away
### Position Sizing:
- **Default:** 2% of account equity per trade
- **Adjustable:** Can be modified in strategy settings

---
## 💡 Pro Trading Tips
### 1. **Multiple Timeframe Confirmation**
- Check 1-hour chart for overall trend before taking 15-minute signals
- Only take LONG signals if 1-hour is bullish
- Only take SHORT signals if 1-hour is bearish
### 2. **POC Strategy**
- Best entries occur when price returns to POC after being far away
- Wait for POC touch + confirmation pattern (engulfing, order block)
- POC acts as support in uptrends, resistance in downtrends
### 3. **Wick Cluster Strategy**
- Strongest signals occur when wick clusters align with POC
- Look for 4+ wicks at the same level for highest probability
- Recent clusters (formed in last 2 days) are stronger than old ones
### 4. **Order Block Strategy**
- Fresh order blocks (just formed) are more powerful
- Wait for price to return to order block zone before entering
- Best when order block + wick cluster occur at same level
### 5. **London/NY Box Strategy**
- If price breaks above session high → look for LONG pullback entries
- If price breaks below session low → look for SHORT pullback entries
- Price often returns to session mid-point before continuing
### 6. **Risk Management Rules**
- **Never risk more than 2% per trade**
- **Don't trade more than 3 positions simultaneously**
- **If 2 losses in a row, reduce size to 1% or stop for the day**
- **Move stop to breakeven after 1:1 profit reached**
### 7. **High-Probability Setups**
Look for **CONFLUENCE** - the more factors aligned, the better:
✅ **BEST LONG SETUP:**
- Price at lower wick cluster (support)
- Price at/near POC
- Bullish order block present
- Bullish engulfing pattern forms
- Trend Bias = Bullish
- 1-hour chart = uptrend
✅ **BEST SHORT SETUP:**
- Price at upper wick cluster (resistance)
- Price at/near POC
- Bearish order block present
- Bearish engulfing pattern forms
- Trend Bias = Bearish
- 1-hour chart = downtrend

The Hanzo Strategy is built on three core principles:
1. **Follow the Volume** - Trade where institutions are active
2. **Respect the Levels** - Key support/resistance zones matter
3. **Confirm with Price Action** - Wait for confirmation before entering
This is NOT a holy grail - it requires:
- ✅ Discipline to wait for proper setups
- ✅ Patience to let trades play out
- ✅ Risk management to protect capital
- ✅ Emotional control to handle losses

Wyckoff Smart Money Pro [MTF]Wyckoff Smart Money Pro detects trading ranges, phases, and events from the Wyckoff method and confirms them with VSA (Volume Spread Analysis), divergence checks, and a composite “smart money” strength index. It generates optional buy/sell signals only when multiple conditions align (phase, VSA, CO strength, effort vs. result, time/volume filters). The dashboard, POC/Value Area, and MTF backdrop help you manage context and risk in real time.
What this indicator does
Wyckoff Smart Money Pro is a multi-timeframe Wyckoff tool that:
⦁ Finds accumulation/distribution ranges and tracks Phases A–E.
⦁ Labels Wyckoff events (PS, SC, AR, ST, Spring/Test, SOS, LPS, UTAD, SOW, LPSY, TS…) and VSA patterns (No Demand/Supply, Stopping Volume, Upthrust, etc.).
⦁ Computes a Composite Operator (CO) Strength score from price/volume behavior to approximate “smart money” bias.
⦁ Adds divergence, effort vs. result, and a volume profile (POC & 70% value area) inside the detected range.
⦁ Provides buy/sell signals only when a configurable confluence is present (events + VSA + CO + EVR + phase + filters).
⦁ Supports MTF context (with a safe HTF resolver and fallbacks) and an Info Dashboard to summarize the current state.
It is designed to make the Wyckoff workflow visual and rules-based without promising results or automating decisions.
How it works (methods & calculations)
1) Range & Phase model
⦁ A sliding lookback searches for a valid range (recent highest high/lowest low), requiring width within 2–10× ATR(14) and a minimum bar count inside the bounds.
⦁ Once a range is active, the script derives Creek/Ice/Mid/Quartiles and classifies bars into Wyckoff Phases A–E using event recency (barssince) and where price sits relative to the range.
⦁ The background color reflects the current Phase; optional MTF events (from the chosen HTF) tint the background lightly for higher-timeframe context.
2) Wyckoff & VSA event engine
⦁ Events include PS, SC, AR, ST, Spring, Test, SOS, LPS, PSY, BC, UTAD, SOW, LPSY, TS, plus minor/multiple variants and Creek/Ice jumps.
⦁ VSA patterns detect No Demand/No Supply, Stopping Volume, Buying/Selling Climax, Upthrust/Pseudo Upthrust, Bag Holding, Shake-Out, Volume Dry-Up, etc., from spread vs. average spread and volume vs. average volume with tunable thresholds.
3) Smart-money (CO) Strength
⦁ CO Strength (0–100) blends: relative volume on up/down bars, professional accumulation/distribution, no-supply/no-demand, stopping volume, Springs/UTADs and Tests, SOS/SOW, price’s position inside the range, and volume-delta vs. its MA.
⦁ Persistent accumCount / distCount counters smooth temporary noise.
4) Divergence & Effort-vs-Result
⦁ Price vs. cum volume-delta divergence highlights weakening pushes.
⦁ EVR flags “High effort / no result” and potential Bullish/Bearish reversals, or “Low effort / high result” moves that are often unsustainable.
5) Volume Profile (inside range)
⦁ A 50-bin profile accumulates volume across the detected range to derive POC, VAH/VAL (70% value area). Lines update as the active range evolves.
6) Multi-Timeframe (MTF) safety
⦁ getHTF() converts your multiplier to a valid Pine timeframe string (e.g., 60, 240, 2D, 1W), and the script falls back to current timeframe values if an HTF request returns na.
⦁ If you enter a Custom HTF, it must be strictly higher than the chart’s timeframe (validated at runtime).
7) Signals & risk model
⦁ Signals are not tied to any single pattern. A buy may require Spring/Test/Shake-out/Creek Jump or SOS plus confirmation (VSA, CO>60, Phase C/D, divergence/EVR context).
⦁ Sell is symmetrical (UTAD/Failed Spring/SOW/Ice Jump + VSA + CO<40 + Phase C/D).
⦁ Minimum confidence is configurable; SL/TP and R:R lines are drawn from range edges or recent bar extremes.
⦁ Filters: trading hours, weekend avoidance, and a minimum volume threshold (relative to average) are available to suppress low-quality contexts.
⦁ Alerts include all major events, divergences, structure/phase changes, and the gated Buy/Sell signals (with a cooldown to reduce alert spam).
Inputs (key ones you’ll actually use)
⦁ Display Settings: toggle ranges, phases, events, VSA, signals, dashboard.
⦁ MTF: Enable HTF, set Multiplier or a Custom HTF (must be higher than current).
⦁ Range Detection: period / min bars / pivot strength.
⦁ VSA: volume sensitivity & climax multiplier.
⦁ Signal Settings: minimum confidence, risk/reward labels.
⦁ Advanced Filters: trading hours, weekend avoidance, and Min Volume Filter (× avg).
⦁ Colors: phase backgrounds, structure colors, and line styling.
How to use (practical flow)
1. Choose a symbol & timeframe you normally analyze (e.g., 5–60m for entries, 4H/D for context).
2. If using MTF, pick a multiplier (e.g., 5×) or a Custom HTF (e.g., 240/4H).
3. Wait for a range to form; watch Phase and CO Strength on the Dashboard.
4. When events (e.g., Spring/Test in Phase C or UTAD in distribution) appear with favorable VSA, CO, EVR, and volume/time filters, consider the signal and review R:R lines.
5. Use POC/VA and Creek/Ice/Mid as structure references; manage risk around the range edge that generated the setup.

Notes, limits & best practices
⦁ This is not a buy/sell system; it’s a context & confirmation tool. Combine with your plan, risk limits, and execution criteria.
⦁ Long, illiquid, or news-driven bars can distort volume/spread logic; filters help but cannot eliminate this.
⦁ For MTF, if an exchange doesn’t support a specific HTF, the script falls back safely to current TF values to avoid na-propagation.
⦁ Dashboard rows/size/position are user-configurable to keep charts uncluttered.
Changelog (what’s new in this version)
⦁ MTF safety & validation (Custom HTF must be above current; graceful fallbacks for request.security() na results).
⦁ Performance caching for close position & up/down bar flags; drawing cleanup to stay under label/line limits.
⦁ Volume Profile upgraded to 50 bins; VA algorithm adjusted accordingly.
⦁ Signal gating with time/day/volume filters and alert cooldown to reduce noise.
⦁ Bug guards for parameter conflicts (e.g., rangeMinBars cannot exceed rangePeriod).
