VWAP RangeThe VWAP Range indicator is a highly versatile and innovative tool designed with trading signals for trading the supply and demand within consolidation ranges.
What's a VWAP?
A VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) represents an equilibrium point in the market, balancing supply and demand over a specified period. Unlike simple moving averages, VWAP gives more weight to periods with higher volume. This is crucial because large volumes indicate significant trading activity, often by institutional traders, whose actions can reflect deeper market insights or create substantial market movements. The VWAP is also often used as a benchmark to evaluate the efficiency of executed trades. If a trader buys below the VWAP and sells above it, they are generally considered to have transacted favourably.
This is how it works:
Multiple VWAP Anchors:
This indicator uses multiple VWAPs anchored to different optional time periods, such as Daily, Weekly, Monthly, as well as to the highest high a lowest low within those periods. This multiplicity allows for a comprehensive view of the market’s average price based on volume and price, tailored to different trading styles and strategies.
Dynamic and Fixed Periods:
Traders can choose between using dynamic ranges, which reset at the start of each selected period, and specifying a date and time for a particular fixed range to trade. This flexibility is crucial for analyzing price movements within specific ranges or market phases.
Fixed ranges allow VWAPs to be calculated and anchored to a significant market event, the beginning of a consolidation phase or after a major news announcement.
Signal Generation:
The indicator generates buy and sell signals based on the relationship of the price to the VWAPs. It also allows for setting a maximum number of signals in one direction to avoid overtrading or pyramiding. Be sure to wait for the candle close before trading on the signals.
Average Buy/Sell Signal Lines:
Lines can be plotted to display the average buy and sell signal prices. The difference between the lines shows the average profit per trade when trading on the signals in that range. It's a good way to see how profitable a range is on average without backtesting the signals. The lines will also often turn into support and resistance areas, similar to value areas in a volume profile.
Customizable Settings:
Traders have control over various settings, such as the VWAP calculation method and bar color. There are also tooltips for every function.
Hidden Feature:
There's a subtle feature in this indicator: if you have 'Indicator values' turned on in TradingView, you'll see a Sell/Buy Ratio displayed only in the status line. This ratio indicates whether there are more sell signals than buy signals in a range, regardless of the Max Signals setting. A red value above 1 suggests that the market is trending upward, indicating you might want to hold your long positions a bit longer. Conversely, a green value below 1 implies a downward trend.

All Support and Resistance Levels [PINESCRIPTLABS]First, we observe the Light Blue Macro Supports and the Pink Macro Resistances. These channels are automatically formed based on market data, identifying pivot points in price history and determining the strength of these levels based on the number of pivot points within these same channels. When the price interacts with the macro Supports, we have a strong reaction that we can take advantage of in two ways:
1. The first and most common, as we can see in the chart, is that these zones elicit a strong reaction, and the price respects the channel. For us, as traders, it signifies a pivot point where we can initiate a trade, either a buy at the macro Support or a sell at the macro Resistance.
2. The second way to use them, for which this algorithm is also prepared, is in case a movement occurs where the price breaks these Macro Supports or Macro Resistances. We have a special alert that will notify us because when these macro channels are broken, they tend to do so violently in a move that we can also capitalize on. Usually, when such a breakout occurs, we will visit the next support or resistance channel, which can bring us significant benefits.
The following complex and highly accurate calculation provided by this indicator allows us to work with price supports and resistances within the internal structure of macro channels. As we can see in the chart, "boxes" are formed that represent the detected support and resistance areas. It also detects breakouts when the price crosses below the support "box" or above the resistance "box" and displays labels on the chart indicating when the breakout occurred, all in real-time. But here comes something very special: the algorithm also has a calculation that, as we see in the chart, there are occasions when the breakout occurs, but the price returns to the support or resistance "box" and is detected. At this moment, a label appears on the chart indicating a possible confirmation of the breakout. In other words, as the price initially broke out but returned to the "box," the algorithm will notify us with another label and a special alert when the price confirms the breakout.
At the same time, we can see in the chart that the algorithm also provides us with a volume profile that allows us to see where the most trading activity has concentrated based on price levels. We can also use it to identify support and resistance levels based on the point of control (POC) and value area levels. As we can see in the chart, there are labels with the exact price where the highest volume was traded. The top label in the chart shows the highest price, and the last label we see is for the lowest price. These displayed labels are within the defined range of retrocession or Lookback Length, which we can configure in our indicator. As we observe, the algorithm shows a strong confluence between the Macro Support channels and the volume profile labels, confirming the strongest areas of the range.
Finally, after calculating supports and resistances from three different perspectives, the algorithm provides us with a macro view of the price in the form of trend lines. In other words, it shows us supports and resistances in the form of diagonal channels where we can see trends in the market and areas where the price has historically encountered difficulties in advancing or retreating, which we can corroborate with the supports and resistances mentioned at the beginning.
As we can see in the chart, the algorithm also shows us labels with the exact price where angular price supports and resistances are located. These calculations are very important as they provide a trend perspective, and we can get an idea of where the price is headed, combining these with the other support and resistance calculations.
Remember that all the previous calculations have their own alerts for when supports or resistances are broken, or in the case of new channels being created, also when there is a breakout of a box or a confirmation of a breakout.
The second type of alert from the indicator is configured to make our indicators work for us without the need to be present on the chart, thanks to special programming within the indicator's code. It will execute automatic buys and sells on our preferred exchange through an alert configured for the 3Commas bot. All you need to do is input your Bot ID, provided by 3Commas, into the alert. All premium indicators come with a configuration explanation that will guide you in detail on where to input your Bot ID.
ESPAÑOL:
En primer lugar, observamos los Macro Soportes en color azul claro y las Macro Resistencias en color rosa. Estos canales se forman automáticamente en función de los datos del mercado, identificando puntos de pivote en el historial de precios y determinando la fuerza de estos niveles según la cantidad de puntos de pivote dentro de estos mismos canales. Cuando el precio interactúa con los macro Soportes, tenemos una fuerte reacción que podemos aprovechar de dos formas:
1. La primera y más común, como observamos en el gráfico, es que estas zonas provocan una fuerte reacción, y el precio respeta el canal. Para nosotros, como traders, significa un punto de pivote donde podemos generar una entrada, ya sea de compra en el macro soporte o de venta en la macro resistencia.
2. La segunda forma de utilizarlos, para la cual este algoritmo también está preparado, es en caso de que se genere un movimiento en el que el precio rompa estos Macro Soportes o Macro Resistencias. Contamos con una alerta especial que nos avisará, ya que al romperse estos macro canales suelen hacerlo con violencia en un movimiento que también podemos aprovechar. Regularmente, cuando existe este rompimiento, visitaremos el siguiente canal de soporte o resistencia, lo que nos puede traer grandes beneficios.
El siguiente cálculo complejo y muy preciso que nos ofrece este indicador nos permite trabajar con soportes y resistencias del precio dentro de la estructura interna de los canales macro. Como observamos en el gráfico, se producen "boxes" que representan las áreas de soporte y resistencia detectadas. Además, detecta breakouts cuando el precio cruza por debajo del "box" de soporte o por encima del "box" de resistencia y muestra etiquetas en el gráfico que nos indican cuándo ocurrió el breakout, todo esto en tiempo real. Pero aquí viene algo super especial: el algoritmo también tiene un cálculo que, como vemos en el gráfico, hay ocasiones en las que el breakout ocurre, pero el precio retorna al "box" de soporte o resistencia y es detectado. En este momento, aparece una etiqueta en el gráfico que nos muestra que estamos ante una posible confirmación del breakout. Es decir, como el precio había hecho en primer lugar el breakout pero regresó al "box", el algoritmo nos avisará con otra etiqueta y alerta especial cuando el precio confirme el breakout.
Al mismo tiempo, observamos en el gráfico que el algoritmo también nos muestra un perfil de volumen que nos permite ver dónde se ha concentrado la mayor actividad de negociación en función de los niveles de precios. También podemos usarlo para identificar niveles de soporte y resistencia basados en el punto de control (POC) y los niveles de valor (Value Area). Como vemos en el gráfico, tenemos etiquetas con el precio exacto donde se negoció la mayor cantidad de volumen. La etiqueta superior del gráfico nos muestra el precio más alto, y la última etiqueta que observamos es la de la parte baja, que nos indica el precio más bajo. Estas etiquetas mostradas están dentro del rango de retroceso definido o Lookback Length, que podemos configurar en nuestro indicador. Como observamos, el algoritmo nos muestra una fuerte confluencia entre los canales de soporte Macro y las etiquetas del perfil de volumen, lo que nos confirma las áreas más fuertes del rango.
Por último, después de hacer los cálculos de soportes y resistencias desde tres perspectivas distintas, el algoritmo nos proporciona una visión macro del precio en forma de líneas de tendencia. Es decir, nos muestra soportes y resistencias en forma de canales diagonales donde tendremos representadas las tendencias en el mercado y áreas en las que el precio históricamente ha encontrado dificultades para avanzar o retroceder, lo que podemos corroborar con los soportes y resistencias de los que hablamos al principio.
Como observamos en el gráfico, el algoritmo también nos muestra las etiquetas con el precio exacto donde se encuentran los soportes angulares del precio y las resistencias angulares. Estos cálculos son importantísimos, ya que nos ofrecen una perspectiva de tendencia y podemos tener una visión de hacia dónde se dirige el precio, combinando estos con los otros cálculos de soportes y resistencias.
Recuerden que todos los cálculos anteriores tienen su propia alerta para cuando los soportes o resistencias se quiebren o en su caso, se creen nuevos canales, también cuando haya una ruptura de un "box" o una confirmación de ruptura.
El segundo tipo de alerta del indicador está configurada para que nuestros indicadores trabajen para nosotros sin necesidad de estar presentes en el gráfico, esto mediante una programación especial dentro del código del indicador que realizará compras y ventas automáticas en nuestro Exchange de preferencia mediante una alerta configurada para el bot 3Commas. Solo bastará con que pongamos nuestro número de Bot o Bot ID que da el proveedor de 3Commas y lo insertemos en la alerta. Todos los indicadores premium tienen en su configuración una explicación detallada sobre dónde poner tus Bot ID.
Footprint ClassicThe Volume Footprint chart is analyzing volume data contained within candles and split it into two components - Up and Down volume. This analysis is similar to how Volume Profile evaluates volume data from a portion of the chart.
This script can be used by any user. You do not need to have PRO or PREMIUM account to use it.
As a user, you have the flexibility to select the desired level of data precision for the Volume Footprint analysis. We highly recommend using the highest precision possible, as it provides the most accurate results. However, it's important to keep in mind that Trading View has several limitations and not all levels of precision are available on all intervals. The higher the precision, the shorter the history of available data.
If, after adding the script or changing the precision, you encounter an error message stating "'The study references too many candles in history'", it may be necessary to reduce the precision level in the script settings to resolve the issue.
This script is a part of the "Volume Footprint" toolkit, which includes:
I. Footprint chart visualization scripts in two variants:
⠀⠀Volume Footprint - Presenting volume data on both sides of the candle.
⠀⠀Volume Footprint Classic - Presenting volume data on the right side of the candle.
II. Supporting tools:
⠀⠀Volume Footprint Statistics - Script presents, in tabular form, basic statistics calculated from candle volume data, such as Delta, min Delta, max Delta and more. It can support both Volume Footprint and Volume Footprint Classic.
⠀⠀Volume Footprint Candles - Tool drawing candles adapted for footprint chart scripts.
III. Tools dedicated to more detailed analysis:
⠀⠀Volume Delta - A candle chart illustrating changes in delta values.
⠀⠀Volume Cumulative Delta - A candle chart ilustrating changes in cumulative delta values.
⠀⠀Volume Delta In Candle - A line chart showing changes in delta values over a period equal to the chart interval.
⠀⠀Volume Cumulative Delta in Interval - A line chart showing changes in cumulative delta over a period equal to the chart interval.

Above the candle, the following basic statistics can be shown:
"V:" - Row with volume statistics:
⠀∑ - Total volume ,
⠀Δ - Difference between Up and Down Volume .
⠀min Δ - The smallest difference between Up and Down Volume in that candle
⠀max Δ - the biggest difference between Up and Down Volume in that candle
Script settings:
Slot height = 10^ - Price slot height on the chart, recorded as a power of 10, which means:
⠀ 0 - 1$
⠀ 1 - 10$
⠀ 2 - 100$
⠀ 3 - 1000$
⠀-1 - 0.1$
⠀-2 - 0.01$
⠀-3 - 0.001$
Data precision - One of 6 standard levels of data precision: ▉▇▆▅▃▁, where ▉ means the highest precision and ▁ the lowest available precision and two special values "W" and "M" dedicated for biggest intervals. The highest precision should be available for 15-minute chart, but for a 1D chart, it may hit TradingView limitations and the script will not be launched by the platform with error: "'The study references too many candles in history'". The general recommendation is to use the highest available precision for a given instrument and interval.
Precise warnings - An option to show warnings about missing volume in candle footprint (warning connected with one of TradingView limitations).
Text - Picking what king of info is on label:
⠀- - Hidden
⠀V - Total slot Volume

Troubleshooting:
In case of any problems, please send error details to the author of the script.
Known issues:
"The study references too many candles in history" - If you encounter this issue, try changing "Data precision" setting to a lower value.
Volume FootprintThe Volume Footprint chart is analyzing volume data from inside the candle and split them into Up and Down Volume in the same way as Volume Profile analyzes the volume data from a fragment of the chart.
The visualization is little different:
Down Volume (sells) are shown on the left side of a candle.
Up Volume (Buys) are shown on the right side of a candle.
User can pick data precision used by Volume Footprint. We recomend to use the highest possible precision.
Unfortunatelly Trading View has many limitations.
If after adding script nothing is visible with error: "'The study references too many candles in history'" you need to use lower precision - It can be changed in script settings.
This script is a part of a toolkit called "Volume Footprint", containing few tools:
Volume Footprint - Scripts drawing Volume Footprint chart.
Volume Footprint Statistics - Script showing table with basic statistics about Up and Down volume inside the candles.
Volume Delta In Candle - Chart showing history of delta (difference between Up and Down volume) changes inside the current candle.
Volume Cumulative Delta - Chart showing history of cumulative delta (sum of difference between Up and Down volume in trading period equal to chart interval).
This script can be used by any user. You do not need to have PRO or PREMIUM account to use it.

RSI ProfileThis indicator shows the RSI profile from historical RSI Value and High / Low RSI Pivots.
It is inspired by the Volume Profile which is a common charting study that indicates activity at specified levels. It plots a histogram on the chart meant to identify dominant/significant levels.
This script is profiling RSI levels into a histogram, which can identify the crucial RSI values in the chart. Along with the pivot options that can help identify the dominant pivot points where RSI values had been rebounding historically.
How to use:
There are three profile types available in the settings. When selecting RSI Values, the indicator will count RSI values from history, and plot the count in a histogram at the end of the chart. If you select RSI Pivots High or RSI Pivots Low, the indicator will count only the RSI Pivot Highs and Lows and plot the count in a histogram. Users can select the Pivot Left/Right length from the settings.
Users can extend the POC line to the left, to study how the values had been reacting to POC
Please note: Since the RSi values range from 0 to 100, the indicator is rounding off the values to absolute numbers. This can cause a situation where multiple POC are identified, to find the unique POC, you can increase the width of the histogram.
The Max/Min RSI settings are for visual purposes only, it can help users shrink down the histogram's top and bottom visibility
Volume Spikes & Growing Volume Signals With Alerts & ScannerVOLUME SPIKES & GROWING VOLUME SIGNALS WITH ALERTS & SCANNER
This indicator shows arrows when there is a volume spike. It also paints the background when volume is growing. There is also a volume scanner for 8 tickers that will change color in real time when your other favorite tickers see volume growth and spikes.
You can customize the length of DMI, the number of bars to calculate the current volume average from, the number of bars back to get the overall volume average from, the multiple that needs to be hit to give a signal, the position of the scanner table and which tickers are used in the scanner. There are detailed directions as tooltips in the indicator settings you can read to understand exactly what each input does.
All features are customizable as well as which tickers the screener uses.
***HOW TO USE***
Watch for volume to pick up before placing trades as this will help you stay out of the markets when price is choppy. Volume usually brings volatility so watch for the volume signals to show up on the chart. Typically when price has made a big move one direction or is consolidating and you see the volume indicator start giving signals, the market is ready to reverse or continue its current trend but move faster in that direction.
Volume Spikes
When there is a volume spike that is larger than the average of volume over the last 100+ bars(depending on your settings) multiplied by the volume amount multiplier(in your settings) then an arrow will show up on the chart. This arrow will be green if DMI is bullish and red if DMI is bearish.
Volume Growth
A Background color will appear when the average volume over the last 5 bars(depending on your settings) is higher than the average volume over the last 100+ bars(depending on your settings) and is greater than your multiple. It will also paint the background when the volume moving average has increased over the last 3 bars consecutively. The background colors will be red or green depending on buy & sell pressure(DMI). If the background color appears, then you know volume is growing and volatility is near.
Volume Scanner
The scanner can be customized to have all of your favorite tickers by changing the tickers used in the indicator settings at the bottom. When no volume growth or spikes are detected, the ticker will show as light blue. When volume spikes or growth is detected, the ticker will turn orange to notify you.
Alerts
You can set up alerts as well when there is volume growth, bullish volume spikes and bearish volume spikes on any chart or timeframe.
Indicator Settings
Settings will need to be adjusted across different tickers as some have large swings in volume and some stay pretty even, so make sure to set up different chart layouts with settings that work for each ticker and save them individually so you don’t have to reset these values every time you switch charts.
***MARKETS***
This indicator can be used as a signal on all markets, including stocks, crypto, futures and forex as long as Tradingview has volume and DMI data for that ticker.
***TIMEFRAMES***
This volume spike indicator can be used on all timeframes as long as there is enough data for Tradingview to use for calculations.
***TIPS***
Try using numerous indicators of ours on your chart so you can instantly see the bullish or bearish trend of multiple indicators in real time without having to analyze the data. Some of our favorites are our Auto Fibonacci, Volume Profile, Momentum, Auto Support And Resistance and Money Flow Index in combination with this Volume Growth indicator. They all have real time Bullish and Bearish labels as well so you can immediately understand each indicator's trend.
Market Profile with TPOThis is is Market Profile with TPO (the letters) on the current session. Due to pinescript limitations, we are limited to 500 TPOs, since this script uses 1 label per TPO. It is NOT volume profile, this is Time Profile (Time spent at a price).
Multi Time Frame Effective Volume ProfileWHAT DOES THIS INDICATOR DO?
It is a well-known fact that volume often precedes price. As such, if you can spot an increased volume early on, you can take a position before the majority joins the trend. The purpose of this indicator is to show the tactical moves of the insiders and the big players before they become obvious to everyone. Similarly, you should more easily be able to identify trend exhaustion and look to close your position.
This volume indicator is largely inspired by Pascal Willain's concept of Effective Volume described in his book "Value in Time" , which is an improvement over Larry Williams' accumulation/distribution formula. The more robust formula takes into account two very important factors:
1) the gaps that are an inevitable part of almost all securities;
2) the closing price in relation to the spread, which indicates the bull/bear strength;
I have slightly modified Pascal Willain's formula for Effective Volume and introduced a few additional features, which I believe make the indicator easier to use and understand.
HOW DOES THE INDICATOR WORK?
1. Volume Bar Deconstruction
The first significant part of this indicator is that it deconstructs the volume bar of your current trading session into one-minute volume bars, separates the significant volume, and then reconstructs the bar again. As a result, you get a new bar, in which only the significant volume is counted. Not only this, but you also get a more comprehensive view of the relationship between buying and selling that occurred on the smaller time frame.
In the screenshot below you can see that although the bears were stronger, the bulls met them with almost identical force, which resulted in absorbing the supply in 1 and then in 2 the demand drove the price up. In a traditional volume bar chart (which is also plotted), you only see the total traded volume in either red or green depending on the closing of the bar. As you would probably agree, this does not reveal the whole story.
Accumulation/distribution by large players and funds is done with great precision, which is hard to catch intraday and nearly impossible on a daily time frame. However, large orders are hard to conceal on the 1-min chart since any unusual volume sticks out like a sore thumb. The whole idea here is for you to get a comprehensive view of what's going on in the small time frame, reveal any hard to spot transactions, and then make an informed decision on your trading time frame.
To ease your analysis even further, the indicator shows you minor volume as a percent of the major volume . Since your current time frame volume bar is a sum of all buying and selling volume from a smaller time frame, you get to see a more complete picture of the buying and selling that occurred. For example, you have a total volume of 150 BTC in a single 1h volume bar, out of which 100 BTC is in selling volume and 50 BTC is in buying volume. What you will see as parameters are this: 50 (buying volume), 100 (selling volume), 50 (minor volume as a percent of the big volume, since 50/100 = 0.5 = 50%). The higher the percentage, the more even the powers between buying and selling are.
2. Volume Trend
Building upon the first feature of the indicator, you can also choose a cumulative volume trend line. It is constructed by evaluating the type of the significant volume - adding it up if the bar closes positive (green) and subtracting it if the bar closes negative (red). The evaluation is once again done on a 1-min time frame by default, but you can change that along with the count lookback period in settings.
3. Bull / Bear Equilibrium
Based upon the volume bars, Bull/Bear Equilibrium shows you the difference between buying and selling pressure under the form of a smoothed histogram. It is particularly useful not only for spotting trends early in the beginning, but also when those trends start reaching a point of exhaustion. You can then move your Stop Loss accordingly, close part of your position to preserve profits, or even look for a good entry position in the opposite direction.
HOW MUCH DOES THE INDICATOR COST ?
As much as I would like to offer it for free (as some of my other ones), a great deal of work, trading logic, and testing have gone into creating this indicator. More than a few hundred iterations and a few dozen branches were required to reach the end result which is a precise combination of usefulness, simplicity, and practicality. Furthermore, this indicator will continue to be updated and user-requested features that improve its performance will be added.
Disclaimer: The purpose of all indicators is to indicate potential setups, which may lead to profitable results. No indicator is perfect and certainly, no indicator has a 100% success rate. They are subject to flaws, wrongful interpretation, bugs, etc. This indicator makes no exception. It must be used with a sound money management plan that puts the main emphasis on protecting your capital. Please, do not rely solely on any single indicator to take trading decisions instead of you.

Cumulative Overlapping Volume BarsThis is cheap replacement for volume profile.
Red bars is where accumulated high volume in small range.
if new bar moves out of range all accumulated volume will be lost and color will change.
Delta Volume Columns [LucF]Displays delta volume columns using intrabar volume information. Each volume column is divided into three sections: buying, selling and neutral volume. Volume for each section is determined from the volume and price movement of each intrabar at a user-selected lower resolution.
Features include:
- Choice of color themes for either dark or light chart backgrounds
- Delta volume columns
- Volume Balance displayed as the difference between the MAs of buying and selling volume
- Display of divergences between a bar’s volume balance and the bar’s price movement (example: buying volume > selling volume but close < open). Divergences can be shown in 2 different color schemes (including green/red showing a tentative direction), on volume columns and/or on chart bars
- Display of bar by bar volume balance with highlighting of above average volume
- Display of the usual total volume MA
- Choice of the lower resolution used to retrieve intrabar information
- Alerts configurable on any combination of the markers, with control over long/short direction
- Choice of 3 different markers:
1. Double bumps: two consecutive bars where buying or selling volume is in the same direction and where volume > volume MA
2. Divergence confirmations: direction of the price bar following a price/volume balance divergence
3. Volume balance shifts: zero level crossings of the volume balance MA delta
The chart shows the two main modes of display:
- Top pane : shows the stacked volume columns with divergences in orange and the flattened volume balance MAs delta at the bottom of the volume columns. This volume balance is the same shown in the bottom pane. The top pane also shows the instant volume balance strip above the volume columns. The strip’s colors show which of the buying or selling volume was greater, and colors are brighter if the total volume was above the total volume MA.
- Bottom pane : shows the volume balance MAs delta with markers 1 and 2. Given that this graphic has no price momentum component, I find quite eerie how it often looks like a momentum-based signal.
The default 5 minute intrabar resolution is used in combination with the weekly chart, which is excessive.
This script uses a special characteristic of the security() function’s behavior when it is sent to a resolution lower than the chart’s resolution. Details are given in the script’s comments. This method has the advantage of working under more circumstances than some of the other loop-based methods, but it also has its limits.
IMPORTANT
This is what you need to know:
- The method used does not work on the realtime bar—only on historical bars. Consequently, the volume column shown on the realtime bar is a normal volume column plotted in green or red, following price movement. The column will only show delta volume information after it closes and becomes a historical bar.
- The indicator only works on some chart resolutions: 5, 10, 15 and 30 minutes, 1, 2, 4, 6, and 12 hours, 1 day, 1 week and 1 month. The script’s code can be modified to run on other resolutions, but chart resolutions must be divisible by the lower resolution used for intrabars.
- Intrabar resolutions can be selected from 1, 5, 15, 30, 45 minutes, 1, 2, 3, 4 hours, 1 day, 1 week and 1 month. The intrabar resolution must of course be smaller than the chart’s resolution.
- Contrary to my other indicators where alerts must be configured to trigger “Once Per Bar Close” in order to avoid false triggers (or repainting), all this indicator’s alerts are designed to trigger using previous bar information since the indicator’s calculations in the realtime bar are not exact. Markers are not plotted with a negative offset; they appear at the beginning of the realtime bar following confirmation of the marker’s condition on the previous bar. Alerts for this indicator should thus be configured to trigger “Once Per Bar” so they trigger at the beginning of the realtime bar. Note that the penalty is not that great, as it is simply the instant between the close of the previous realtime bar and the opening of the next. The advantage of using this technique is that the indicator does not repaint; a marker that appears at the beginning of the realtime bar will never disappear.
- The script only plots information that is reliable in the realtime bar, i.e., total volume and markers. All other plots are set to n/a to prevent misleading traders.
- When the difference between the chart’s resolution and the lower resolution is too important, volume columns will not calculate for all bars in the dataset.
On Delta Volume
Buying or selling volume are misnomers, as every unit of volume transacted is both bought and sold by 2 different traders. There is no such thing as “buy only” or “sell only” volume, but trader lingo is riddled with original fabulations.
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. The built-in volume indicator available on TradingView uses this logic to color the volume columns green or red. While this script’s numbers are more precise because it analyses a number of intrabars to calculate its information, it uses the exact same imperfect logic to calculate its buying/selling/neutral sections.
Until Pine scripts can have access to how much volume was transacted at the bid/ask prices, our so-called buying/selling volume information will always be a mere proxy.
Divergences
You may wonder how there can be divergences between buying/selling volume information and price movement. This will sometimes be due to the methodology’s shortcomings we have just discussed, but divergences may also occur in instances where because of order book structure, it takes less volume to increase the price of an asset than it takes to decrease it.
As usual, divergences are points of interest because they reveal imbalances, which may or may not become turning points. I do not share the overwhelming enthusiasm traders have for divergences. To your pattern-hungry brain, the orange bars this indicator shows on chart will—as divergences on other indicators do–appear to often indicate turnarounds. My opinion is that reality is generally quite sobering, as many who have tried building automated rules based on divergences will tell you. I do not have hard numbers on the lack of performance of divergences—only many failed attempts to make them perform, which a few experienced strategy modelers I know share with me. Please don’t try to read too much into them. While they look great on past data, I find they are often difficult to use in realtime to make bets with good odds.

Order Flow HeatmapThe Order Flow Heatmap indicator simulates the visualization of professional order flow analysis tools like Bookmap directly within TradingView. It transforms historical price and volume data into an intuitive heatmap display that reveals liquidity zones, volume concentrations, and buying/selling pressure at a glance.
At the core of the indicator is the Volume Profile, which is automatically calculated and shows at which price levels the most trading volume has occurred. The intensity is visualized through a selectable color scheme – from dark tones at low volume to bright colors at high liquidity. Five color schemes are available: Bookmap Blue, Fire, Green Matrix, Purple, and Thermal.
The indicator automatically identifies the Point of Control (POC) – the price level with the highest traded volume – as well as the Value Area, where typically 70% of the volume is concentrated. These zones serve as important support and resistance areas. Additionally, High Volume Nodes (HVN) are marked as potential reaction zones, and Low Volume Nodes (LVN) as areas where price might move through quickly.
Volume Bubbles display above-average trading volume in real-time – green circles signal buying pressure on bullish candles, red circles indicate selling pressure on bearish candles. The bubble size scales with volume intensity across three levels.
Another core feature is the Delta Analysis, which approximates the ratio between buying and selling volume. The background subtly colors green or red depending on the prevailing pressure. The Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) is displayed as an area at the bottom of the chart, showing the accumulated difference between buying and selling.
The indicator also detects Imbalances – situations with extreme imbalance between buyers and sellers – and marks particularly significant Stacked Imbalances when multiple consecutive candles show the same directional bias.
The package is rounded out by the Session VWAP with optional standard deviation bands, as well as a clear Dashboard displaying all relevant values in real-time. Comprehensive Alert Functions notify you of POC touches, imbalances, Value Area breakouts, and high-volume events.
Important Note: Since TradingView does not provide access to real Level 2 order book data, this indicator is based on an intelligent approximation using historical volume data. It shows where volume was traded – not where limit orders currently sit.
YBL – Order Flow Bubbles + Alerts (Imbalance, Anchored)**YBL – Order Flow Bubbles + Alerts (Imbalance, Anchored)**
by **YBL / Yuriel**
This tool paints **order flow “bubbles”** directly on the price chart whenever there is a strong **aggressive buy or sell imbalance**, using only OHLCV data (no real bid/ask feed required).
The script estimates delta from **price change × volume**, normalizes it with a **z-score**, and then draws visual bubbles on the candles where the imbalance is strong enough.
---
## 🔍 Core Logic (How It Works)
1. **Delta estimation (no bid/ask feed needed)**
- `delta = (close - open) * volume`
- If price closes above open → delta > 0 (buy aggression).
- If price closes below open → delta < 0 (sell aggression).
2. **Volatility / Z-score filter**
- Moving averages over **lenDelta**:
- `avgVol = SMA(volume)`
- `avgDelta = SMA(delta)`
- `stDelta = stdev(delta)`
- Z-score:
- `deltaZ = (delta - avgDelta) / stDelta`
- Only bars where:
- Volume is above `minVolMul × avgVol`
- |deltaZ| is above `zTrigger`
are considered **strong aggression bubbles**.
3. **Direction detection**
- **Buy bubble** = `delta > 0` with strong z-score and enough volume.
- **Sell bubble** = `delta < 0` with strong z-score and enough volume.
---
## 🎨 Visuals on the Chart
- **Bubbles (labels)**
- Green bubbles for **buy aggression**.
- Red bubbles for **sell aggression**.
- Bubble **size is dynamic** → based on `vol / avgVol`:
- Tiny / Small / Normal / Large / Huge depending on the volume ratio.
- Text inside the bubble (optional):
- Shows `Δ` in **K units** (e.g. `+35.2K`).
- Controlled by `Mostrar Δ (K) dentro de la burbuja`.
- **Anchoring options**
- `Anclaje de burbuja`:
- **“Extremos (Hi/Lo)”** →
- Buy bubbles anchored near **low + ATR offset**.
- Sell bubbles anchored near **high − ATR offset**.
- **“Centro (Mid)”** →
- Bubbles at the **midpoint** of the candle.
- ATR offset is defined by:
- `ATR para offset` (atrLen)
- `Offset = ATR ×` (atrMul)
- **Background shading (heatmap)**
- When a very strong **buy imbalance** appears → chart background tinted **light lime**.
- When a very strong **sell imbalance** appears → background tinted **light red**.
- Helps visually detect clusters of aggressive buying or selling.
- **Tooltips**
- Each bubble includes a tooltip with:
- `Δ` (raw delta)
- `z` (z-score of delta)
- % of volume vs average (Vol%)
---

---
## 📢 Alerts
The script includes ready-to-use **alerts**:
1. **BUY Aggression Bubble**
- Triggered when a strong **buy imbalance** appears (green bubble).
- Message includes ticker, timeframe and close.
2. **SELL Aggression Bubble**
- Triggered when a strong **sell imbalance** appears (red bubble).
- Message includes ticker, timeframe and close.
Use these alerts to catch:
- Sudden bursts of **aggressive buying** at lows or pullbacks.
- Sudden bursts of **aggressive selling** at highs or after rallies.
- Potential **reversal** or **continuation** points based on flow.
---
## 🧠 How to Use (Practical Ideas)
- Combine this script with:
- **VWAP**, volume profile, liquidity pools or CVD.
- Your own session filters (e.g. NY open, London open).
- Look for:
- **Clusters of green bubbles** at support / VWAP → potential accumulation.
- **Clusters of red bubbles** at resistance / previous highs → possible distribution.
- Breakouts where the candle is supported by **large same-direction bubbles**.
It works especially well on:
- **1m / 5m** charts for scalping and intraday.
- Futures, indices, FX and crypto where volume is reliable.

## 🟩 FVG ZONES
### What Are FVG Zones?
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) are price gaps between candles where price moved so fast that a gap was left. These gaps often act as support/resistance.
### Zone Requirements
- Gap size ≥ 25% of ATR
- Impulse candle has strong body (≥ 70%)
- Impulse candle is 1.5x average range
- Volume above average on impulse
- Created during active session
### Zone States
1. **Fresh** (bright color) - Just created, untested
2. **Tested** (gray) - Price touched zone midpoint
3. **Broken** (removed) - Price closed through zone
### Trading FVG Zones
| Zone | Approach From | Expected |
|------|--------------|----------|
| 🟩 Bull | Above (falling) | Support - look for bounce |
| 🟥 Bear | Below (rising) | Resistance - look for rejection |
---
## 🟣 SINGLE PRINTS
Single prints mark candles with:
- Range > 1.3x average
- Body > 70% of range
- Volume > 1.8x average
- Clear delta dominance
These become horizontal support/resistance lines extending into the future.

Accumulation/Distribution Oscillator# Short description
A clean, volume-weighted Accumulation/Distribution Oscillator (ADO) that highlights buying/selling pressure by comparing cumulative AD to its EMA — ideal for confirming trends, spotting divergences, and timing entries with volume context.
# Full description
**Overview**
The Accumulation/Distribution Oscillator (ADO) measures the relationship between price and volume by taking a cumulative Accumulation/Distribution value and subtracting its exponential moving average. The resulting oscillator emphasizes recent shifts in accumulation (buying) and distribution (selling), making it easier to spot momentum changes and volume-driven confirmations or divergences.
**How it works (brief)**
* Computes the standard accumulation/distribution contribution each bar using price position within the range and multiplies it by volume.
* Builds a cumulative AD series and smooths it with an EMA.
* The oscillator = cumulative AD − EMA(cumulative AD). Positive values indicate rising accumulation relative to the trend, negative values indicate rising distribution.
**Inputs**
* `length` — EMA smoothing period (default: 20). Adjust to tune sensitivity: lower values = faster signals, higher values = smoother trend.
**Interpretation & signals**
* **Above zero**: recent accumulation momentum — bullish bias.
* **Below zero**: recent distribution momentum — bearish bias.
* **Crosses of zero**: simple entry/exit trigger (cross above = potential long, cross below = potential short).
* **Divergences**: price making new highs while ADO fails to make new highs → bearish divergence (sell signal). Price making new lows while ADO fails to make new lows → bullish divergence (buy signal).
* **Slope and magnitude**: steep, growing positive readings suggest strong buying pressure; steep, growing negative readings suggest strong selling pressure.
**Suggested usage**
* Use ADO to confirm breakout strength: a price breakout with ADO rising above zero has higher probability.
* Combine with trend filters (e.g., moving averages) to trade in the direction of the main trend.
* Use divergence with price action or candles for higher-probability reversal setups.
* Best applied on intraday and swing timeframes where volume data is reliable. May be less effective on low-volume or synthetic data.
**Alert examples (copy into TradingView alert message)**
* `ADO Bullish: Oscillator crossed above 0`
* `ADO Bearish: Oscillator crossed below 0`
* `ADO Momentum Up: Oscillator turned positive and rising`
* `ADO Divergence: Price made new high but ADO did not — check for potential reversal`
**Practical tips**
* Shorten `length` (e.g., 8–12) for more responsive signals on lower timeframes; lengthen (e.g., 30–50) for smoother, long-term signals.
* Confirm signals with volume profile or volume spike filters to avoid false breakouts.
* Always validate with support/resistance and manage risk with stops sized to your strategy.
**Disclaimer**
This indicator is a technical tool intended to assist analysis — not a standalone trading system. Backtest and paper-trade any strategy before using real capital. The author and publisher are not responsible for trading outcomes.
DTR Volume FVGDTR Volume FVG detects bullish and bearish Fair Value Gaps and shows how much volume occurred inside each gap. Instead of only drawing the imbalance, the indicator analyzes a lower timeframe and builds a small volume profile inside every FVG. This helps you understand which gaps are strong, weak, likely to hold, or likely to fill.
How It Works:
- The indicator finds FVGs using a lower timeframe (Auto mode or manual selection).
- Each FVG is drawn as a colored zone: green for bullish, purple for bearish.
- Inside the gap, the script shows volume distribution using horizontal boxes.
- The FVG extends forward in time until the gap is fully filled or invalidated.
- Once price closes through the gap, the zone is removed automatically.
How to Use:
- High volume inside the FVG suggests strong interest and possible support or resistance.
- Low volume suggests the gap may fill more easily.
- Bullish FVGs are used as retracement zones in uptrends.
- Bearish FVGs are used as retracement zones in downtrends.
- Use the Display option to hide the volume boxes if you want a cleaner chart.
Best For:
- Finding strong retracement zones
- Identifying which gaps matter
- Understanding how price and volume behaved during displacement
- Improving entries and stop placement with volume levels inside FVGs
This indicator gives a clearer view of which imbalances are important by combining FVG structure with real volume data.
detecteur de volume 🎯 Main Objective
This script analyzes Open Interest (open positions) calculated simply as Volume ÷ 2 and detects significant variations to identify important market movements.
🔧 How It Works
1. Open Interest Calculation
Open Interest = Bar Volume / 2
Each trading candle has a volume
The script divides this volume by 2 to get OI
OI approximately represents open positions in the market
2. Variation Calculation
Variation % = ((Current OI - Previous OI) / Previous OI) × 100
Compares current bar's OI to the previous bar
Expresses the result as a percentage
Example: If OI goes from 1000 to 1300 → Variation = +30%
📊 Visualization Modes
The script offers 3 modes to choose from:
Mode 1: "Open Interest Brut" (Raw Open Interest)
Displays an OI curve
Green color when OI rises
Red color when OI falls
Option to add a moving average (orange) to see the trend
Mode 2: "Variation %" (RECOMMENDED)
Displays bars showing % variation
Green bars = increases
Red bars = decreases
Reference lines at +25%, -25% and 0%
Easier to read for detecting movements
Mode 3: "Les Deux" (Both)
Combines both charts
Complete view but more crowded
🚨 2-Level Alert System
Level 1: Labels - 25% Threshold
Trigger: Variation ≥ 25% or ≤ -25%
Display: Label with exact percentage
"↑ +32.5%" (green) for an increase
"↓ -28.3%" (red) for a decrease
Purpose: Signal notable movements
Level 2: Triangles - 200% Threshold
Trigger: Variation ≥ 200% or ≤ -200%
Display:
🔺 GREEN Triangle (pointing up) = Extreme increase
🔻 RED Triangle (pointing down) = Extreme decrease

⚠️ Limitations
OI = Volume/2 is an approximation
Real Open Interest requires specific data (futures/options)
This formula works but remains an estimate
No real OI history
Only calculates on available volume
Doesn't account for accumulated OI from previous days
Sensitivity to gaps
A volume gap can create false signals
Should be used with other indicators
✅ Strengths
✅ Simple and effective
✅ Works on all markets (stocks, crypto, forex, futures)
✅ Automatic detection of abnormal movements
✅ Configurable alerts
✅ Clear and intuitive visual
✅ Lightweight and fast (no complex calculations)
🎓 Usage Tips
Start with "Variation %" mode - More readable
Adjust thresholds to your style - 25% may be too sensitive on some assets
Combine with price analysis - OI alone isn't enough
Watch the triangles - These are the most important signals
Create alerts - To catch everything even off-screen

Hammer Model [#]Hammer Model - HTF Candle Entry Model
Overview
The Hammer Model is a sophisticated technical indicator that identifies high-probability reversal setups based on Higher Timeframe (HTF) candlestick wick rejection patterns. Unlike traditional hammer pattern indicators that simply flag candle formations, this system provides a complete trading framework with precise entry zones, stop loss placement, and multiple take profit targets calculated using statistical projections.
What Makes This Different
Proprietary Signal Filtering: This indicator uses a proprietary algorithm that analyzes multiple market structure conditions to filter out low-quality hammer patterns. Only the highest-probability setups are displayed, significantly reducing false signals compared to standard pattern recognition tools.
Dynamic Quadrant Mapping: Rather than basic support/resistance levels, the system divides each qualified hammer candle into three distinct zones (Upper Wick, Body, and Lower Wick), with precise .25, .5, and .75 subdivision levels for granular entry and exit planning.
Multi-Standard Deviation Projections: The indicator automatically calculates TP1 and TP2 targets based on the wick's range, along with optional 1-4 standard deviation extension levels for position scaling and profit maximization.
How It Works
Signal Generation @ Candle Close/New Candle Open
The indicator monitors your chart for HTF candles that meet specific criteria:
Bullish Hammer: Lower wick must be significantly larger than the body
Bearish Hammer: Upper wick must be significantly larger than the body
When both wicks qualify, the indicator selects the larger wick as the primary signal, depending on conditions set.
Visual Components
Bullish Setups:
SL: Stop loss level (below lower wick)
ENTRY: Entry zone (candle body range)
.25/.5/.25: Wick quadrant levels for scaling entries
TP1/TP2: First and second take profit targets
1-4STDV: Advanced/Long Range Targets
Bearish Setups:
SL: Stop loss level (above upper wick)
ENTRY: Entry zone (candle body range)
.25/.5/.25: Wick quadrant levels for scaling entries
TP1/TP2: First and second take profit targets
1-4STDV: Advanced/Long Range Targets
HTF Candle Overlay (Optional):
Displays the actual HTF candle that generated the signal
Shows Open, High, Low, and Close lines for context
Trading the Signals
For Bullish Hammers (Long):
Entry is @ HTF Candle Close / New HTF Candle Open (or wait for a .25-.5 wick retrace)
Place stop loss at or 1 tick below the SL level (lower wick low)
Target TP1 (1x wick range above) and TP2 (2x wick range above) and STDV
Use .25/.5/.25 levels to scale into positions or manage partial exits
For Bearish Hammers (Short):
Entry is @ HTF Candle Close / New HTF Candle Open (or wait for a .25-.5 wick retrace)
Place stop loss at or above the SL level (upper wick high)
Target TP1 (1x wick range below) and TP2 (2x wick range below) and STDV
Use .25/.5/.25 levels to scale into positions or manage partial exits
Key Settings
Hammer Model Conditions
Bullish/Bearish: Toggle which direction setups to display
1-2STDV / 3-4STDV: Show extended projection levels
HTF Liquidity Sweep: Filter for setups that swept previous HTF highs/lows (proprietary)
Wick Size: Require larger wick-to-body ratio (1.75x vs 1x)
Time Filters: Isolate setups during specific trading sessions (NY AM/PM, Asia, London)
Hourly Filters: Target setups that form during specific hour segments (useful for lower timeframes)
Display Options
Show Recent Hammer Models: Limit how many setups display on chart (default: 4)
Unlimited: Show all historical setups
Candle Quadrants: Toggle .25, .5, .25 subdivision lines
HTF Candle Overlay: Display the actual HTF candle that generated the signal
Timeframes
1min chart → 15min HTF (scalping)
5min chart → 1H HTF (day trading)
15min chart → 4H HTF (swing trading)
1H chart → Daily HTF (position trading)
The indicator automatically selects appropriate HTF pairs
Why Closed Source
This indicator is closed source to protect proprietary filtering algorithms that determine which hammer patterns qualify as valid signals. These filters analyze specific market structure conditions, liquidity dynamics, and statistical thresholds that have been developed through extensive backtesting, data logging over 1 years time, and represent the core intellectual property of this system. The filtering methodology is what separates this from basic pattern recognition tools and delivers higher-probability setups. To learn how to learn more about this system see Author Notes.
Best Practices
Confluence: Use this indicator alongside trend analysis, key support/resistance levels, or volume profiles
Risk Management: The SL levels provide clear invalidation points - always honor them
Scaling: Use the quadrant levels (.25/.5/.25) to scale into positions rather than entering full size at once
Session Filters: Enable time filters to focus on setups during high-liquidity sessions
Backtesting: Review historical signals on your preferred instruments to understand typical behavior and win rates
Notes
The indicator displays a table in the top-right showing the current chart timeframe and HTF being analyzed
Only charts with sufficient historical data will display all past signals
The "Unlimited" option may cause performance issues on very low timeframes with extensive history
Disclaimer: This indicator is a tool for technical analysis and risk management education and does not guarantee profitable trades. Always practice proper risk management and position sizing. Past performance does not indicate future results
Orderbook Table1. Indicator Name
Orderbook Table
This is an order book style trading volume map
that upgraded the price from my first script to label
2. One-line Introduction
A visual heatmap-style orderbook simulator that displays volume and delta clustering across price levels.
3. Overall Description
Orderbook Table is a powerful visual tool designed to replicate an on-chart approximation of a traditional order book.
It scans historical candles within a specified lookback window and accumulates traded volume into price "bins" or levels.
Each level is color-coded based on total volume and directional bias (delta), offering a layered view of where market interest was concentrated.
The indicator approximates order flow by analyzing each candle's directional volume, separating bullish and bearish volume.
With adjustable parameters such as level depth, price bin density, delta sensitivity, and opacity, it provides a highly customizable visualization.
Displayed directly on the chart, each level shows the volume at that price zone, along with a price label, offset to the right of the current bar.
Traders can use this tool to detect high liquidity zones, support/resistance clusters, and volume imbalances that may precede future price movements.
4. Key Benefits (Title + Description)
✅ On-Chart Volume Heatmap
Shows volume distribution across price levels in real-time directly on the price chart, creating a live “orderbook” view.
✅ Delta-Based Bias Coloring
Color changes based on net buying/selling pressure (delta), making aggressive demand/supply zones easy to spot.
✅ High Customizability
Users can adjust lookback bars, price bins, opacity levels, and delta usage to fit any market condition or asset class.
✅ Lightweight Simulation
Approximates orderbook depth using candle data without needing L2 feed access—works on all assets and timeframes.
✅ Clear Visual Anchoring
Volume quantities and price levels are offset to the right for easy viewing without cluttering the active chart area.
✅ Fast Market Context Recognition
Quickly identify price levels where volume concentrated historically, improving decision-making for entries/exits.
5. Indicator User Guide
📌 Basic Concept
Orderbook Table analyzes a configurable number of past bars and distributes traded volume into price "bins."
Each bin shows how much volume occurred around that price level, optionally adjusted for bullish/bearish candle direction.
⚙️ Settings Overview
Lookback Bars: Number of candles to scan for volume history
Levels (Total): Number of price levels to display around the current price
Price Bins: Granularity of price segmentation for volume distribution
Shift Right: How far to offset labels to the right of the current bar
Max/Min Opacity: Controls visual strength of volume coloring
Use Candle Delta Approx.: If enabled, colors the volume based on candle direction (green for up, red for down)
📈 Example Timing
Look for green clusters (bullish bias) below current price → possible strong demand zones
Price enters a high-volume level with previously aggressive buyers (green), suggesting support
📉 Example Timing
Red clusters (bearish bias) above current price can act as resistance or supply zones
Price stalling at a red-heavy volume band may indicate exhaustion or reversal opportunity
🧪 Recommended Use
Use as a support/resistance mapping tool in ranging and trending markets
Pair with candlestick analysis or momentum indicators for refined entry/exit points
Combine with VWAP or volume profile for multi-dimensional volume insight
🔒 Cautions
This is an approximation, not a true L2 orderbook—volume is based on historical candles, not actual limit order data
In low-volume markets or higher timeframes, bin granularity may be too coarse—adjust "Price Bins" accordingly
Delta calculation is based on open-close direction and does not reflect true buy/sell volume splits
Avoid overinterpreting low-opacity (light color) zones—they may indicate low interest rather than true resistance/support

How It Works
The indicator uses RSI to identify market states (sideways, bullish, bearish) and combines this with pivot point detection and volume analysis to identify key Wyckoff events. When price is ranging (RSI between upper/lower bands), it draws a box. On breakout, the box color changes to indicate accumulation or distribution, helping traders identify smart money positioning.
Tips for Use
Lower Trend Sensitivity (10-15) for more signals in trending markets
Higher Trend Sensitivity (25-30) for clearer signals in choppy markets
Enable Volume Confirmation in high-volume markets (stocks, major crypto)
Disable Volume Confirmation in low-volume or forex markets
Watch for Spring/UTAD events within boxes for potential reversals

Day-Type Detector — Rejection / FNL / Outside / StopRun (Clean)Day-Type Detector — Rejection / FNL / Outside / Stop-Run (Clean Version)
This indicator identifies four high-impact candlestick day-types commonly used in professional price-action and auction-market trading: Rejection Days, Failed New Low (FNL) Days, Outside Days, and Stop-Run Days. These patterns often precede major directional moves, reversals, and absorption events, making them particularly valuable for swing traders, positional traders, and short-term discretionary traders.
The script is designed to work across all timeframes and is built around volatility-adjusted measurements using Average Daily Range (ADR) for accuracy and consistency.
What This Indicator Detects
1. Rejection Day (Bullish & Bearish)
A Rejection Day is a wide-range bar that rejects a previous extreme.
The indicator identifies rejection based on:
Range > ADR × threshold
Long lower wick (for bullish) or long upper wick (for bearish)
Close located in the strong zone of the day’s range
These conditions highlight areas where aggressive counter-orderflow entered the market.
2. Failed New Low (FNL) / Failed New High
An FNL day traps traders who attempted breakout selling or buying.
The indicator checks for:
A break beyond the previous session’s low or high
Immediate rejection back inside
Midpoint recapture conditions
ADR-normalized range requirements
These days often trigger powerful directional reversals.
3. Outside Day (Bullish & Bearish)
An Outside Day is a statistically significant expansion day that breaks both the previous high and low.
The script validates:
High > previous high and low < previous low
Range > ADR threshold
Close beyond prior session extreme to complete the rejection sequence
Outside Days often represent stop runs, shakeouts, or trend accelerations.
4. Stop-Run Day (Bullish & Bearish)
Stop-Run Days are aggressive volatility expansions and tend to be the largest ranges within short windows.
This detector identifies them using:
Range > ADR × multiplier
Close located near the extreme of the day (top for bullish, bottom for bearish)
Strong body relative to total range
Break above/below previous session extreme
These patterns indicate capitulation or forced liquidation and are often followed by continuation or sharp counter-rotation.
Key Features
✔ Historical Pattern Marking
All qualifying bars are marked on the chart using plotshape() in global scope, ensuring full historical visibility.
✔ Event Logging & Table Display
A table (top-right of the chart) displays the most recent pattern detections, including:
Timestamp
Pattern type
Bar index
This allows users to monitor and study past pattern occurrences without scanning the chart manually.
✔ ADR-Adjusted Detection
Volatility uncertainty is removed by anchoring all thresholds to ADR.
This ensures consistency across:
Different symbols
Different timeframes
Different market regimes
✔ Alerts Included
Alerts are preconfigured for:
Rejection Day Bull / Bear
FNL Bull / Bear
Outside Day Bull / Bear
Stop-Run Bull / Bear
This allows the user to receive real-time notifications when major day-type structures develop.
How to Use
Add the indicator to any timeframe chart.
Enable or disable:
Historical markers
History table
ADR diagnostics
Watch for shape markers or use alerts for real-time signals.
Use the history table to review recent occurrences.
Combine these day-types with:
Market structure levels
High/low volume nodes (LVNs)
Support/resistance zones
Trend context
These day-types are most effective when they occur near meaningful structural levels because they show where strong order-flow entered the market.
Best Practices
Use higher timeframes (1H–1D) for swing entries.
Confirm signals with market structure or volume profile.
Treat these day-types as context, not standalone signals.
Observe follow-through behavior in the next 1–3 bars after detection.
Credits
This script is based on concepts commonly seen in auction-market theory and professional price-action frameworks, such as Rejection Days, Failed New Lows, Outside Days, and Stop-Run behaviors.
All calculations and logic have been rebuilt from scratch to ensure clean, reliable, and optimized Pine Script v6 execution.
Tactical Deviation🎯 TACTICAL DEVIATION - Volume-Backed VWAP Deviation Analysis
What Makes This Different?
Unlike basic VWAP indicators, Tactical Deviation combines:
• Multi-timeframe VWAP deviation bands (Daily/Weekly/Monthly)
• Volume spike intelligence - signals only appear with volume confirmation
• Pivot reversal detection at deviation extremes
• Optional multi-VWAP confluence system
• Smart defaults for quality over quantity
This unique combination filters weak setups and identifies high-probability entries at extreme price deviations from fair value.
📊 DEFAULT SETTINGS (Ready to Use)
✅ Daily VWAP with ±2σ deviation bands
✅ Volume spike detection (1.5x average required)
✅ 2σ minimum deviation for signals
❌ Weekly/Monthly VWAPs (enable for multi-timeframe)
❌ Pivot reversal requirement (enable for stronger signals)
❌ Fill zones (optional visual enhancement)
Why: Daily VWAP is most relevant for intraday trading. 2σ bands catch meaningful moves. Volume spikes ensure conviction. Clean chart focuses on what matters.
🚀 HOW TO USE
BASIC USAGE:
• Green triangles (below bars) = Long signals at oversold deviations
• Red triangles (above bars) = Short signals at overbought deviations
SIGNAL QUALITY:
• Normal size, bright colors = Volume spike (best quality)
• Small size, lighter colors = Volume momentum
• Tiny size = No volume confirmation
DEVIATION ZONES:
• ±2σ = Extreme deviation (signals appear here)
• ±1σ to ±2σ = Extended but not extreme
• Within ±1σ = Normal range
TRADING APPROACHES:
Mean Reversion:
→ Enter when price reaches ±2σ with volume spike
→ Target: Return to VWAP or opposite band
→ Stop: Beyond extreme deviation
Trend Continuation:
→ Use bands to identify pullbacks
→ Enter pullback to VWAP in trending market
→ Volume confirms continuation
Reversal Trading:
→ Enable "Require Pivot Reversal" for stronger signals
→ Signals only when deviation + pivot reversal occur
→ Higher probability, fewer signals
⚙️ EXPLORE SETTINGS FOR FULL USE
VWAP SETTINGS:
• Show Weekly/Monthly VWAP = Multi-timeframe context
• Show ±1σ Bands = Normal deviation range
• Show ±3σ Bands = Extreme extremes (rare but powerful)
SIGNAL SETTINGS:
• Min Deviation: 1σ (more signals) | 2σ (default) | 3σ (fewer, extreme only)
• Require Pivot Reversal: OFF (default) | ON (stronger but fewer)
• Volume Spike Threshold: 1.5x (default) | 2.0x+ (major spikes) | 1.2x (more signals)
CONFLUENCE SETTINGS:
• Require Multi-VWAP Confluence: OFF (default) | ON (2+ VWAPs must agree)
• Min VWAPs: 2 (Daily + Weekly/Monthly) | 3 (all must agree)
VISUAL SETTINGS:
• Show Fill Zones = Shaded areas between bands
• Fill Opacity = Transparency adjustment
• Line Widths = Customize thickness
💡 PRO TIPS
1. Start with defaults, then enable features as you learn
2. Volume spike requirement filters weak moves - keep it enabled
3. Enable Weekly/Monthly VWAPs for higher timeframe context
4. Enable confluence for swing trading setups
5. Pivot reversals: ON for reversals, OFF for continuations
6. Check top-right info table for current deviation levels
🎨 VISUAL GUIDE
• Cyan Line = Daily VWAP (fair value)
• Cyan Bands = Daily deviation zones
• Orange Line = Weekly VWAP (if enabled)
• Purple Line = Monthly VWAP (if enabled)
• Green Triangle = Long signal (oversold)
• Red Triangle = Short signal (overbought)
⚠️ IMPORTANT
Educational purposes only. Always use proper risk management. Signals are based on statistical deviation, not guarantees. Volume confirmation improves quality but doesn't guarantee outcomes. Combine with your own analysis.
The unique combination of VWAP deviation analysis, volume profile confirmation, pivot identification, and multi-timeframe confluence in a single clean interface makes Tactical Deviation different from basic VWAP indicators.

Chronos Reversal Labs - SPChronos Reversal Labs - Shadow Portfolio
Chronos Reversal Labs - Shadow Portfolio: combines reinforcement learning optimization with adaptive confluence detection through a shadow portfolio system. Unlike traditional indicator mashups that force traders to manually interpret conflicting signals, this system deploys 4 multi-armed bandit algorithms to automatically discover which of 5 specialized confluence strategies performs best in current market conditions, then validates those discoveries through parallel shadow portfolios that track virtual P&L for each strategy independently.
Core Innovation: Rather than relying on static indicator combinations, this system implements Thompson Sampling (Bayesian multi-armed bandits), contextual bandits (regime-specific learning), advanced chop zone detection (geometric pattern analysis), and historical pre-training to build a self-improving confluence detection engine. The shadow portfolio system runs 5 parallel virtual trading accounts—one per strategy—allowing the system to learn which confluence approach works best through actual position tracking with realistic exits.
Target Users: Intermediate to advanced traders seeking systematic reversal signals with mathematical rigor. Suitable for swing trading and day trading across stocks, forex, crypto, and futures on liquid instruments. Requires understanding of basic technical analysis and willingness to allow 50-100 bars for initial learning.
Why These Components Are Combined
The Fundamental Problem
No single confluence method works consistently across all market regimes. Kernel-based methods (entropy, DFA) excel during predictable phases but fail in chaos. Structure-based methods (harmonics, BOS) work during clear swings but fail in ranging conditions. Technical methods (RSI, MACD, divergence) provide reliable signals in trends but generate false signals during consolidation.
Traditional solutions force traders to either manually switch between methods (slow, error-prone) or interpret all signals simultaneously (cognitive overload). Both fail because they assume the trader knows which regime the market is in and which method works best.
The Solution: Meta-Learning Through Reinforcement Learning
This system solves the problem through automated strategy selection : Deploy 5 specialized confluence strategies designed for different market conditions, track their real-world performance through shadow portfolios, then use multi-armed bandit algorithms to automatically select the optimal strategy for the next trade.
Why Shadow Portfolios? Traditional bandit implementations use abstract "rewards." Shadow portfolios provide realistic performance measurement : Each strategy gets a virtual trading account with actual position tracking, stop-loss management, take-profit targets, and maximum holding periods. This creates risk-adjusted learning where strategies are evaluated on P&L, win rate, and drawdown—not arbitrary scores.
The Five Confluence Strategies
The system deploys 5 orthogonal strategies with different weighting schemes optimized for specific market conditions:
Strategy 1: Kernel-Dominant (Entropy/DFA focused, optimal in predictable markets)
Shannon Entropy weight × 2.5, DFA weight × 2.5
Detects low-entropy predictable patterns and DFA persistence/mean-reversion signals
Failure mode: High-entropy chaos (hedged by Technical-Dominant)
Strategy 2: Structure-Dominant (Harmonic/BOS focused, optimal in clear swing structures)
Harmonics weight × 2.5, Liquidity (S/R) weight × 2.0
Uses swing detection, break-of-structure, and support/resistance clustering
Failure mode: Range-bound markets (hedged by Balanced)
Strategy 3: Technical-Dominant (RSI/MACD/Divergence focused, optimal in established trends)
RSI weight × 2.0, MACD weight × 2.0, Trend weight × 2.0
Zero-lag RSI suite with 4 calculation methods, MACD analysis, divergence detection
Failure mode: Choppy/ranging markets (hedged by chop filter)
Strategy 4: Balanced (Equal weighting, optimal in unknown/transitional regimes)
All components weighted 1.2×
Baseline performance during regime uncertainty
Strategy 5: Regime-Adaptive (Dynamic weighting by detected market state)
Chop zones: Kernel × 2.0, Technical × 0.3
Bull/Bear trends: Trend × 1.5, DFA × 2.0
Ranging: Mean reversion × 1.5
Adapts explicitly to detected regime
Multi-Armed Bandit System: 4 Core Algorithms
What Is a Multi-Armed Bandit Problem?
Formal Definition: K arms (strategies), each with unknown reward distribution. Goal: Maximize cumulative reward while learning which arms are best. Challenge: Balance exploration (trying uncertain strategies) vs. exploitation (using known-best strategy).
Trading Application: Each confluence strategy is an "arm." After each trade, receive reward (P&L percentage). Bandits decide which strategy to trust for next signal.
The 4 Implemented Algorithms
1. Thompson Sampling (DEFAULT)
Category: Bayesian approach with probability distributions
How It Works: Model each strategy as Beta(α, β) where α = wins, β = losses. Sample from distributions, select highest sample.
Properties: Optimal regret O(K log T), automatic exploration-exploitation balance
When To Use: Best all-around choice, adaptive markets, long-term optimization
2. UCB1 (Upper Confidence Bound)

When To Use: After 100+ bars, clear regime shifts
Shadow Portfolio System
Why Shadow Portfolios?
Traditional bandits use abstract scores. Shadow portfolios provide realistic performance measurement through actual position simulation.
How It Works
Position Opening:
When strategy generates validated signal:
Opens virtual position for selected strategy
Records: entry price, direction, entry bar, RSI method
Optional: Open positions for ALL strategies simultaneously (faster learning)
Position Management (Every Bar):
Current P&L: pnl_pct = (close - entry) / entry × direction × 100
Exit if: pnl_pct <= -2.0% (stop-loss) OR pnl_pct >= +4.0% (take-profit) OR held ≥ 100 bars (time)
Position Closing:
Calculate final P&L percentage
Update strategy equity, track win rate, gross profit/loss, max drawdown
Calculate risk-adjusted reward:
text
base_reward = pnl_pct / 10.0
win_rate_bonus = (win_rate - 0.5) × 0.3
drawdown_penalty = -max_drawdown × 0.05
total_reward = sigmoid(base + bonus + penalty)
Update bandit algorithms with reward
Update RSI method bandit
Statistics Tracked Per Strategy:
Equity curve (starts at $10,000)
Win rate percentage
Max drawdown
Gross profit/loss
Current open position
This creates closed-loop learning : Strategies compete → Best performers selected → Bandits learn quality → System adapts automatically.
Historical Pre-Training System
The Problem with Live-Only Learning
Standard bandits start with zero knowledge and need 50-100 signals to stabilize. For weekly timeframe traders, this could take years.
The Solution: Historical Training
During Chart Load: System processes last 300-1000 bars (configurable) in "training mode":
Detect signals using Balanced strategy (consistent baseline)
For each signal, open virtual training positions for all 5 strategies
Track positions through historical bars using same exit logic (SL/TP/time)
Update bandit algorithms with historical outcomes
CRITICAL TRANSPARENCY: Signal detection does NOT look ahead—signals use only data available at entry bar. Exit tracking DOES look ahead (uses future bars for SL/TP), which is acceptable because:
✅ Entry decisions remain valid (no forward bias)
✅ Learning phase only (not affecting shown signals)
✅ Real-time mirrors training (identical exit logic)
Training Completion: Once chart reaches current bar, system transitions to live mode. Dashboard displays training vs. live statistics for comparison.
Benefit: System begins live trading with 100-500 historical trades worth of learning, enabling immediate intelligent strategy selection.
Advanced Chop Zone Detection Engine
The Innovation: Multi-Layer Geometric Chop Analysis
Traditional chop filters use simple volatility metrics (ATR thresholds) that can't distinguish between trending volatility (good for signals) and choppy volatility (bad for signals). This system implements three-layer geometric pattern analysis to precisely identify consolidation zones where reversal signals fail.
Layer 1: Micro-Structure Chop Detection
Method: Analyzes micro pivot points (5-bar left, 2-bar right) to detect geometric compression patterns.
Slope Analysis:
Calculates slope of pivot high trendline and pivot low trendline
Compression ratio: compression = slope_high - slope_low
Pattern Classification:
Converging slopes (compression < -0.05) → "Rising Wedge" or "Falling Wedge"
Flat slopes (|slope| < 0.05) → "Rectangle"
Parallel slopes (|compression| < 0.1) → "Channel"
Expanding slopes → "Expanding Range"
Chop Scoring:
Rectangle pattern: +15 points (highest chop)
Low average slope (<0.05): +15 points
Wedge patterns: +12 points
Flat structures: +10 points
Why This Works: Geometric patterns reveal market indecision. Rectangles and wedges create false breakouts that trap technical traders. By quantifying geometric compression, system detects these zones before signals fire.
Layer 2: Macro-Structure Chop Detection
Method: Tracks major swing highs/lows using ATR-based deviation threshold (default 2.0× ATR), projects channel boundaries forward.
Channel Position Calculation:
proj_high = last_swing_high + (swing_high_slope × bars_since)
proj_low = last_swing_low + (swing_low_slope × bars_since)
channel_width = proj_high - proj_low
position = (close - proj_low) / channel_width
Dead Zone Detection:
Middle 50% of channel (position 0.25-0.75) = low-conviction zone
Score increases as price approaches center (0.5)
Chop Scoring:
Price in dead zone: +15 points (scaled by centrality)
Narrow channel width (<3× ATR): +15 points
Channel width 3-5× ATR: +10 points
Why This Works: Price in middle of range has equal probability of moving either direction. Institutional traders avoid mid-range entries. By detecting "dead zones," system avoids low-probability setups.
Layer 3: Volume Chop Scoring
Method: Low volume indicates weak conviction—precursor to ranging behavior.
Scoring:
Volume < 0.5× average: +20 points
Volume 0.5-0.8× average: +15 points
Volume 0.8-1.0× average: +10 points
Overall Chop Intensity & Signal Filtering
Total Chop Calculation:
chop_intensity = micro_score + macro_score + (volume_score × volume_weight)
is_chop = chop_intensity >= 40
Signal Filtering (Three-Tier Approach):
1. Signal Blocking (Intensity > 70):
Extreme chop detected (e.g., tight rectangle + dead zone + low volume)
ALL signals blocked regardless of confluence
Chart displays red/orange background shading
2. Threshold Adjustment (Intensity 40-70):
Moderate chop detected
Confluence threshold increased: threshold += (chop_intensity / 50)
Only highest-quality signals pass
3. Strategy Weight Adjustment:
During Chop: Kernel-Dominant weight × 2.0 (entropy detects breakout precursors), Technical-Dominant weight × 0.3 (reduces false signals)
After Chop Exit: Weights revert to normal
Why This Three-Tier Approach Is Original: Most chop filters simply block all signals (loses breakout entries). This system adapts strategy selection during chop—allowing Kernel-Dominant (which excels at detecting low-entropy breakout precursors) to operate while suppressing Technical-Dominant (which generates false signals in consolidation). Result: System remains functional across full market regime spectrum.
Zero-Lag Filter Suite with Dynamic Volatility Scaling
Zero-Lag ADX (Trend Regime Detection)
Implementation: Applies ZLEMA to ADX components:
lag = (length - 1) / 2
zl_source = source + (source - source ) × strength
Dynamic Volatility Scaling (DVS):
Calculates volatility ratio: current_ATR / ATR_100period_avg
Adjusts ADX length dynamically: High vol → shorter length (faster), Low vol → longer length (smoother)
Regime Classification:
ADX > 25 with +DI > -DI = Bull Trend
ADX > 25 with -DI > +DI = Bear Trend
ADX < 25 = Ranging
Zero-Lag RSI Suite (4 Methods with Bandit Selection)
Method 1: Standard RSI - Traditional Wilder's RSI
Method 2: Ehlers Zero-Lag RSI
ema1 = ema(close, length)
ema2 = ema(ema1, length)
zl_close = close + (ema1 - ema2)
Method 3: ZLEMA RSI
lag = (length - 1) / 2
zl_close = close + (close - close )
Method 4: Kalman-Filtered RSI - Adaptive smoothing with process/measurement noise
RSI Method Bandit: Separate 4-arm bandit learns which calculation method produces best results. Updates independently after each trade.
Kalman Adaptive Filters
Fast Kalman: Low process noise → Responsive to genuine moves
Slow Kalman: Higher measurement noise → Filters noise
Application: Crossover logic for trend detection, acceleration analysis for momentum inflection
What Makes This Original
Innovation 1: Shadow Portfolio Validation
First TradingView script to implement parallel virtual portfolios for multi-armed bandit reward calculation. Instead of abstract scoring metrics, each strategy's performance is measured through realistic position tracking with stop-loss, take-profit, time-based exits, and risk-adjusted reward functions (P&L + win rate + drawdown). This provides orders-of-magnitude better reward signal quality for bandit learning than traditional score-based approaches.
Innovation 2: Three-Layer Geometric Chop Detection
Novel multi-scale geometric pattern analysis combining: (1) Micro-structure slope analysis with pattern classification (wedges, rectangles, channels), (2) Macro-structure channel projection with dead zone detection, (3) Volume confirmation. Unlike simple volatility filters, this system adapts strategy weights during chop —boosting Kernel-Dominant (breakout detection) while suppressing Technical-Dominant (false signal reduction)—allowing operation across full market regime spectrum without blind signal blocking.
Innovation 3: Historical Pre-Training System
Implements two-phase learning : Training phase (processes 300-1000 historical bars on chart load with proper state isolation) followed by live phase (real-time learning). Training positions tracked separately from live positions. System begins live trading with 100-500 trades worth of learned experience. Dashboard displays training vs. live performance for transparency.
Innovation 4: Contextual Multi-Armed Bandits with Regime-Specific Learning
Beyond standard bandits (global strategy quality), implements regime-specific alpha/beta parameters for Bull/Bear/Ranging contexts. System learns: "Strategy 2: 60% win rate in ranging markets, 45% in bull trends." Uses current regime's learned parameters for strategy selection, enabling regime-aware optimization.
Innovation 5: RSI Method Meta-Learning
Deploys 4 different RSI calculation methods (Standard, Ehlers ZL, ZLEMA, Kalman) with separate 4-arm bandit that learns which calculation works best. Updates RSI method bandit independently based on trade outcomes, allowing automatic adaptation to instrument characteristics.
Innovation 6: Dynamic Volatility Scaling (DVS)
Adjusts ALL lookback periods based on current ATR ratio vs. 100-period average. High volatility → shorter lengths (faster response). Low volatility → longer lengths (smoother signals). Applied system-wide to entropy, DFA, RSI, ADX, and Kalman filters for adaptive responsiveness.

Technical Approximations & Limitations
1. Thompson Sampling: Pseudo-Random Beta Distribution
Standard: Cryptographic RNG with true beta sampling
This Implementation: Box-Muller transform using market data as entropy source
Impact: Not cryptographically random but maintains exploration-exploitation balance. Sufficient for strategy selection.
2. Shadow Portfolio: Simplified Execution Model
Standard: Order book simulation with slippage, partial fills
This Implementation: Perfect fills at close price, no fees modeled
Impact: Real-world performance ~0.1-0.3% worse per trade due to execution costs.
3. Historical Training: Forward-Looking for Exits Only
Entry signals: Use only past data (causal, no bias)
Exit tracking: Uses future bars to determine SL/TP (forward-looking)
Impact: Acceptable because: (1) Entry logic remains valid, (2) Live trading mirrors training, (3) Improves learning quality. Training win rates reflect 8-bar evaluation window—live performance may differ if positions held longer.
4. Shannon Entropy & DFA: Simplified Calculations
Impact: 10-15% precision loss vs. academic implementations. Still captures predictability and persistence signals effectively.
General Limitations
No Predictive Guarantee: Past performance ≠ future results
Learning Period Required: Minimum 50-100 bars for stable statistics
Overfitting Risk: May not generalize to unprecedented conditions
Single-Instrument: No multi-asset correlation or sector context
Execution Assumptions: Degrades in illiquid markets (<100k volume), major news events, flash crashes
Risk Warnings & Disclaimers
No Guarantee of Profit: All trading involves substantial risk of loss. This indicator is a tool, not a guaranteed profit system.
System Failures: Software bugs possible despite testing. Use appropriate position sizing.
Market Regime Changes: Performance may degrade during extreme volatility (VIX >40), low liquidity periods, or fundamental regime shifts.
Broker-Specific Issues: Real-world execution includes slippage (0.1-0.5%), commissions, overnight financing costs, partial fills.
Forward-Looking Bias in Training: Historical training uses 8-bar forward window for exit evaluation. Dashboard "Training Win%" reflects this method. Real-time performance may differ.
