Supply and Demand Daily [LuxAlgo]The Supply and Demand Daily indicator displays daily supply and demand areas on the user's chart. These areas are constructed using the market data within a previous daily interval.
This script makes use of the same logic as our previous Supply and Demand Visible Range indicator .
🔶 USAGE
The supply/demand areas & levels displayed by the indicator aim to provide potential support/resistance levels for users. Supply areas highlight where buyers are willing to exit the market and sell the asset, thus providing resistance and potentially causing prices to reverse or bounce back downwards, while demand areas highlights where buyers were willing to purchase the asset, thus providing support and potentially causing prices to reverse or bounce back upwards.
Historical areas allow the user to study the evolution of supply/demand from one day to another. Wider areas highlight prices avoiding reverting to this area, while thinner areas highlight prices returning more frequently to them.
Trends can be determined by looking at the price position relative to the previous day's supply/demand areas. Price breaking down from the demand zone is indicative of a downtrend, while price breaking above the supply zone is indicative of an uptrend.
Pullback/throwback scenarios can also be common using this indicator.
🔶 SETTINGS
Threshold %: Percentage of the total visible range volume used as a threshold to set supply/demand areas. Higher values return wider areas.
Resolution: Determines the number of bins used to find each area. Higher values will return more precise results.
Intra-bar TF: Timeframe used to obtain intra-bar data.

Tick Profile HeatmapThis is a market internal TICK heatmap with the intent of displaying areas of price associated to stronger reactions with NYSE TICK (by default).
This code is based off of a variation of a Volume Profile coded originally by colejustice who originally used code from LuxAlgo . The full-width volume bars that colejustice setup were replaced with full-width bars representative of TICK breaking +/- $500, the current cumulative value representing the "heat" is comprised of hlc3 by default but that can be changed. In a future update I may add additional logic here to capture highs and lows in the heatmap specifically, and perhaps additional colors.
As with other traditional profiling studies, this indicators purpose is to visualize correspondence to specific price levels, allowing rapid assessment where the most TICK activity is occurring, and where it hasn't been. This information may provide areas of support and resistance and regions where price may move quickly repeatedly.
All of the same input guidance that colejustice provided is the same for those pre-existing inputs:
Inputs are set up such that you can customize the lookback period, number of rows, and width of rows for most major timeframes individually. Timeframes between those available will use the next lower timeframe settings (e.g., 2m chart will use the 1m settings.)
Zero usage of volume is present in this indicator, only TICK data so please don't confuse it with volume studies.
Modified TradingView's Up/Down Volume [vnhilton]
When plotting columns, histograms, etc. You'll notice that the indicator does not stick to the bottom of the pane. To fix this, you need another indicator (we'll call this 'placeholder') in the same pane as this indicator. Pin the placeholder indicator to the left scale, & pin the main indicator to the left scale. Then, pin the placeholder indicator to scale A, & finally the main indictor to the right scale.
Note: On the daily timeframes & higher, the up/down volume isn't accurate. Therefore, I've added a feature where you can toggle on the main indicator to disappear & only show ordinary total volume similar to the TradingView volume indicator.
The original code belongs to TradingView. This is a modified indicator that displays the down volume above the up volume similar to the volume profile. Also includes a moving average using the total volume, & a feature to display ordinary volume to solve the up/down inaccuracies on the daily timeframe & higher.
Volume CompressorTurns volume into a more informative representation, ready to be further analyzed
...
Rationale
Volume
Back in the "before the quant" days I was a big fan of market & volume profile. Thing is J. Steidlmayer had lotta different ideas & works aside of profiling, it's just most of them ain't got to mainstream, one of them was "Hot / Cold volume" (yes, you can't really google it). From my interpretation, the idea was that in a given asset there is a usual constant volume that stays there no matter what, and if it ever changes it changes very slow and gradually; and there's another kind of, so to say, 'active' volume that actually influences price dynamics and very volatile by its nature. So I've met concept lately, and decided to quantify & model it one day when I'll have an idea how. That day was yesterday.
Compression
When we do music we always use different kinds of filters (low-pass, high pass, etc) for equalization and filtering itself. That stuff we use in finance as well. What we also always use in music are compressors, there dynamic processors that automatically adjust volume so it will be more consistent. Almost all the cool music you hear is compressed (both individual instruments (especially vocals) and the whole track afterwards), otherwise stuff will be too quite and too weak to flex on it, and also DJing it would be a nightmare. I am a big adept of loudness war. So I was like, how can I use compression in finance, when ima get an idea? That day was yesterday as well.
Volume structure
Being inspired by Steidlmayer's idea, I decided to distinguish volume this way:
1) Passive / static volume. The ~ volume that's always there no matter what (hedges, arbitrages, spread legs, portfolio parts etc etc), doesn't affect things;
2) Active / dynamic volume. The volume that flows from one asset to another, really matters and affects things;
3) Excess volume. The last portion of number 2 volume, that doesn't represent any powerful value to affect things.
Now it's clear that we can get rid of number 1 and number 3, the components that don't really matter, and concentrate on number 2 in order to improve information gain, both for ourselves and for the models we feed this data. How?
Model
I don't wanna explain it all in statistical / DSP way for once.
First of all, I think the population of volumes is log-normally distributed, so let's take logs of volumes, now we have a ~ normally distributed data. We take linearly weighted mean, add and subtract linearly weighted standard deviation from it, these would be our thresholds, the borders between different kinds of volumes explained before.
The upper threshold is for downward compression, that will not let volume pass it higher.
The lower threshold is for upward compression, all the volumes lower than this threshold will be brought up to the threshold's level.
Then we apply multipliers to the thresholds in order to adjust em and find the sweet spots. We do it the same way as in sound engineering when we don't aim for overcompression, we adjust the thresholds until they start to touch the signal and all good.
Afterwards, we delete all the number 1 and number 3 volume, leaving us exclusively with the clear main component, ready to be processed further.
We return the volumes to dem real scale.
About the parameters, based on testing I don't recommend changing the thresholds from dem default values, first of all they make sense statistically and second they work as intended.
Window length can and should be adjusted, find your own way, or leave the default value. ML (moving location) length is up to you as well.
So yeah, you can see now we can smooth the data and make it visually appealing not only by applying a smooth filter over it.
All good TV?
Volume Footprint [LuxAlgo]This indicator estimates a volume footprint using tick data. The script automatically separates a candle into equidistant intervals with a width obtained from the average true range or a user-given width.
Settings
Method: Interval width calculation method. This ultimately determines the number of intervals separating one candle.
Width (At the right of Method): Atr period or user given width depending on the selected method. A lower user-given width would divide a candle into a higher number of intervals.
As Percent: Returns the accumulated volume within each interval as a percentage of the total candle volume.
Style
Display Type: Determines the appearance of the returned volume footprint.
Trend Color: Color to use based on whether a candle is bullish or bearish.
Usage
When applied to a chart, the user will be asked to select the settings to use for the volume footprint. Note that changing the settings afterward will reset the volume footprint, removing previously generated footprints.
A new footprint will appear on the confirmation of a new bar, as such this version might only be useful in lower timeframes.
A volume footprint allows users to see the number of contracts exchanged within a candle interval. It can as such be seen as some kind of intrabar volume profile.
This can be useful to see areas of interest within a candle.
Different Appearance
By default, the volume footprint makes use of colored boxes with a color based on whether the candle was bullish or bearish.
Another appearance that gives additional information is the gradient type, which uses intervals color based on the number of contracts exchanged within an interval relative to the total volume of the candle. A higher number of contracts within an interval would return a darker color by default.
The regular display type makes use of boxes with a single color, with lines on the side indicating whether the candle was bullish or bearish.
Vwap based Supply and Demand Heatmap_V1This is a Multi-time frame "Thermographic Vwap based heatmap" showing Highest volume Vwap supply and demand zones.
User has 3 inputs for time frames to choose from or layer. It comes preset with "Short" and "Mid" time frame enabled and user can choose to add an additional layer if they would like for longer time frame analysis. If ALL time frames are enabled, fewer levels will show overall due to the 500 map limit, But zones will become brighter, larger, and more "precise" as they overlap and seek out the highest volume concentration amongst all levels.
What is the map showing you?
The heat map goes through each user selected time frame and searches for the highest volume candle and plots a zone based of that candles Vwap and high. These zones act as dynamic support and resistance. Each zone will "Degrade" and disappear over time and show positive when price has broken, cleared and held above it. The shift in color however is not immediate in change, rather transitional, so as not to "Repaint" causing false sense of clearing a zone. All negative zones (Price below) are colored red. User can choose to change any of the maps color's if they would like.
Time frame MUST be larger than your current charts resolution.-
Example- If on a 3min chart, user would choose any time frame LARGER than 3 min to display a map from.
Time frames the zones work best on are 1,3,5,15 min, paired with maps such as "Daily, Weekly, 240min(4hr), 60min" etc for intraday scalping or trend style trading. If on a larger time frame, 60mi, 4hr, Daily, user would choose larger maps like Daily, Weekly, monthly only. User can choose to display all, or just one time frame's zone at a time if they would like. If on a smaller intraday chart, You can start with "Daily" map first, increase opacity if the map is to dark. Then add additional time frames up or down in time if you'd like so long as maps time frame is larger than the charts.
If on a 1, 3, or 5min chart, you can also try the 30,60, or 240min maps for finer granularity and "Scalping" support and resistance.
If you choose a set of time frames, and do not see maps interacting with current price, then cycle out to a higher chart time frame and maps that are one or two time frames higher than current chart resolution.
These maps are showing you where supply and demand are situated since they are looking for the "Highest Volume" candles in each time frame you choose-
The range cast from the highest volume launch candle have proven to be strong support or resistance. Think of "Trapped trader's" if viewing over head supply level's, these traders will sell into a push higher until cleared. Vice versa, if viewing a demand level below, think of a "Base", especially on higher time frames. An area of high volume participation, where buyer's have shown support, and launched a run from. When price cycles back to these zone's, one would expect support from them.
Each zone has a high or low, you will often see price discovery "Test" the high and low of each zone. Probing as they say in Auction market theory to see if there are still buyers, or seller's present. I will often wait for the probe of the high or low of a zone, then look to participate once they have wicked the area and cleared the inventory there and start to move to the opposing side of the zone I am looking to participate in. Think of "Value low, and Value high" in market or volume profile. Market maker's aim to test the participants "Max pain", and absorb stops in each direction. With that said the maps are not meant to be "Lines in the sand" or concrete level's, they are simply hot or cold zones where you could expect participation to happen, the "Hotter" or "Brighter" a zone is the higher the volume concentration is there at that price area. So act accordingly and use this as an addition to your analysis, not the ONLY thing you take into consideration.

VPOC Harmonics - Liquidity-Weighted Price / Time RatiosVPOC Harmonics - Liquidity-Weighted Price / Time Ratios
Summary
This indicator transforms a swing’s price range, duration, and liquidity profile into a structured set of price-per-bar ratios. By anchoring two points and manually entering the swing’s VPOC (highest-volume price), it generates candidate compression values that unify price, time, and liquidity structure. These values can be applied to chart scaling, harmonic testing, and liquidity-aware market geometry.
________________________________________
Overview
Most swing analysis tools only consider price (ΔP) and time (N bars). This script goes further by incorporating the VPOC (Point of Control) — the price with the highest traded volume — directly into swing geometry.
• Anchors define the swing’s Low (L), High (H), and bar count (N).
• The user manually enters the VPOC (highest-volume price).
• The indicator then computes a suite of ratios that integrate range, duration, and liquidity placement.
The output is a table of liquidity-weighted price-per-bar candidates, designed for compression testing and harmonic analysis across swings and instruments.
________________________________________
How to Use
1. Select a Swing
- Place Anchor A and Anchor B to define the swing’s Low, High, and bar count.
2. Find the VPOC
- Apply TradingView’s Fixed Range Volume Profile tool over the same swing.
- Identify the Point of Control (POC) — the price level with the highest traded volume.
3. Enter the VPOC
- Manually input the POC into the indicator settings.
4. Review Outputs
- The table will display candidate ratios expressed mainly as price-per-bar values.
5. Apply in Practice
- Use the ratios as chart compression inputs or as benchmarks for testing harmonic alignments across swings.
________________________________________
Outputs
Swing & Inputs
• Bars (N): total bar count of the swing.
• Low (L): swing low price.
• High (H): swing high price.
• ΔP = H − L: price range.
• Mid = (L + H) ÷ 2: midpoint price.
• VPOC (V): user-entered highest-volume price.
• Base slope s0 = ΔP ÷ N: average change per bar.
• π-adjusted slope sπ = (π × ΔP) ÷ (2 × N): slope adjusted for half-cycle arc geometry.
________________________________________
VPOC Harmony Ratios (L, H, V, N)
• λ = (V − L) ÷ ΔP: normalized VPOC position within the range.
• R = (V − L) ÷ (H − V): symmetry ratio comparing lower vs. upper segment.
• s1 = (V − L) ÷ N: slope from Low → VPOC.
• s2 = (H − V) ÷ N: slope from VPOC → High.
________________________________________
Blended Means (s1, s2)
These combine the two segment slopes in different ways:
• HM(s1,s2) = 2 ÷ (1/s1 + 1/s2): Harmonic mean, emphasizes the smaller slope.
• GM(s1,s2) = sqrt(s1 × s2): Geometric mean, balances both slopes proportionally.
• RMS(s1,s2) = sqrt((s1² + s2²) ÷ 2): Root-mean-square, emphasizes the larger slope.
• L2 = sqrt(s1² + s2²): Euclidean norm, the vector length of both slopes combined.
________________________________________
Slope Blends
• Quadratic weighting: s_quad = s0 × ((V−L)² + (H−V)²) ÷ (ΔP²)
• Tilted slope: s_tilt = s0 × (0.5 + λ)
• Entropy-scaled slope: s_ent = s0 × H2(λ), with H2(λ) = −
________________________________________
Curvature & Liquidity Extensions
• π-arc × λ: s_arc = sπ × λ
• Liquidity-π: s_piV = sπ × (V ÷ Mid)
________________________________________
Scale-Normalized Families
With k = sqrt(H ÷ L):
• k (scale factor) = sqrt(H ÷ L)
• s_comp = s0 ÷ k: compressed slope candidate
• s_exp = s0 × k: expanded slope candidate
• Exponentiated blends:
- s_kλ = s0 × k^(2λ−1)
- s_φλ = s0 × φ^(2λ−1), with φ = golden ratio ≈ 1.618
- s_√2λ = s0 × (√2)^(2λ−1)
________________________________________
Practical Application
All formulas generate liquidity-weighted price-per-bar ratios that integrate range, time, and VPOC placement.
These values are designed for:
• Chart compression settings
• Testing harmonic alignments across swings
• Liquidity-aware scaling experiments

Setup Score OscillatorSetup Score Oscillator – Full Description
🎯 Purpose of the Script
This script is a manual trading setup scoring tool, designed to help traders quantify the quality of a trade setup by combining multiple technical, cyclical, and contextual signals.
Instead of relying on a single indicator, the trader manually selects which signals are present, and the script calculates a total score (0–100%), displayed as an oscillator in a separate panel (like RSI or MACD).
🔧 How it works in practice
1. Manual signal inputs
The script presents a set of checkboxes in the settings, where the trader can enable/disable the following signals:
✅ Confirmed Support/Resistance
✅ Aligned Volume Profile
✅ Favorable Cyclic Timing
✅ Valid Trend Line
✅ Aligned Cyclical Moving Averages
✅ Relevant Fibonacci Level
✅ Classic Volume Signal (spike, dry-up, etc.)
✅ Oscillator confirmation (e.g., divergences)
✅ Extreme Sentiment
✅ Relevant or incoming News
Each selected signal contributes to the total score based on its weight.
2. Scoring system
Each signal has a default weight (e.g., 20% for support/resistance, 15% for cycles, etc.).
Optionally, the trader can enable the “custom weights” checkbox and adjust each signal’s weight directly in the settings.
3. Score visualization
The final score (sum of all active weights) is plotted as an oscillator ranging from 0 to 100%, with dynamic coloring:
Range Color Meaning
0–39% Red No valid setup
40–54% Yellow Watchlist only
55–69% Orange Good setup
70–100% Green Strong setup
Several horizontal threshold lines are displayed:
50% → neutral threshold
40%, 55%, 70% → operational levels
4. Optional background coloring
When the score exceeds 55% or 70%, the oscillator background lightly changes color to highlight stronger setups (non-intrusive).
📌 Practical benefits
Objectifies subjective analysis: each decision becomes a number.
Prevents overtrading: no entries if the score is too low.
Adaptable to any trading style: swing, intraday, positional.
User-friendly: no coding needed – just tick boxes.

Setup Score Oscillator – Descrizione completa
🎯 Obiettivo dello script
Lo script è uno strumento manuale di valutazione dei setup di trading, pensato per aiutare il trader a quantificare la qualità di un'opportunità operativa basandosi su più segnali tecnici, ciclici e contestuali.
Invece di affidarsi a un solo indicatore, il trader seleziona manualmente quali segnali sono presenti, e lo script calcola un punteggio complessivo percentuale (0–100%), rappresentato come oscillatore in una finestra separata (tipo RSI, MACD, ecc.).
🔧 Come funziona operativamente
1. Input manuale dei segnali
Lo script mostra una serie di checkbox nelle impostazioni, dove il trader può attivare o disattivare i seguenti segnali:
✅ Supporto/Resistenza confermata
✅ Volume Profile allineato
✅ Cicli o timing favorevole
✅ Trend line valida
✅ Medie mobili cicliche allineate
✅ Livello di Fibonacci rilevante
✅ Volume classico significativo (spike, dry-up)
✅ Conferme da oscillatori (es. divergenze)
✅ Sentiment estremo (es. euforia o panico)
✅ News importanti imminenti o appena uscite
Ogni casella attiva contribuisce al punteggio totale, con un peso specifico.
2. Sistema di punteggio
Ogni segnale ha un peso predefinito (es. 20% per supporti/resistenze, 15% per cicli, ecc.).
Facoltativamente, il trader può attivare la funzione “Enable custom weights” per personalizzare i pesi di ciascun segnale direttamente da input.
3. Visualizzazione del punteggio
Il punteggio complessivo (somma dei pesi attivati) viene tracciato come oscillatore da 0 a 100%, con colori dinamici:
Range Colore Significato
0–39% Rosso Nessun setup valido
40–54% Giallo Osservazione
55–69% Arancione Setup buono
70–1005 Verde Setup forte
Sono tracciate anche delle linee guida orizzontali a:
50% → soglia neutra
40%, 55%, 70% → soglie operative
4. Colorazione dello sfondo (facoltativa)
Quando il punteggio supera 55% o 70%, lo sfondo dell’oscillatore cambia leggermente colore per evidenziare il segnale (non invasivo).
📌 Vantaggi pratici
Oggettivizza l’analisi soggettiva: ogni decisione manuale si trasforma in un numero.
Evita overtrading: se il punteggio è troppo basso, non si entra.
Adattabile a ogni stile: swing, intraday, position.
Facile da usare anche senza codice: basta spuntare le caselle.
Ergodic Market Divergence (EMD)Ergodic Market Divergence (EMD)
Bridging Statistical Physics and Market Dynamics Through Ensemble Analysis
The Revolutionary Concept: When Physics Meets Trading
After months of research into ergodic theory—a fundamental principle in statistical mechanics—I've developed a trading system that identifies when markets transition between predictable and unpredictable states. This indicator doesn't just follow price; it analyzes whether current market behavior will persist or revert, giving traders a scientific edge in timing entries and exits.
The Core Innovation: Ergodic Theory Applied to Markets
What Makes Markets Ergodic or Non-Ergodic?
In statistical physics, ergodicity determines whether a system's future resembles its past. Applied to trading:
Ergodic Markets (Mean-Reverting)
- Time averages equal ensemble averages
- Historical patterns repeat reliably
- Price oscillates around equilibrium
- Traditional indicators work well
Non-Ergodic Markets (Trending)
- Path dependency dominates
- History doesn't predict future
- Price creates new equilibrium levels
- Momentum strategies excel
The Mathematical Framework
The Ergodic Score combines three critical divergences:
Ergodic Score = (Price Divergence × Market Stress + Return Divergence × 1000 + Volatility Divergence × 50) / 3
Where:
Price Divergence: How far current price deviates from market consensus
Return Divergence: Momentum differential between instrument and market
Volatility Divergence: Volatility regime misalignment
Market Stress: Adaptive multiplier based on current conditions
The Ensemble Analysis Revolution
Beyond Single-Instrument Analysis
Traditional indicators analyze one chart in isolation. EMD monitors multiple correlated markets simultaneously (SPY, QQQ, IWM, DIA) to detect systemic regime changes. This ensemble approach:
Reveals Hidden Divergences: Individual stocks may diverge from market consensus before major moves
Filters False Signals: Requires broader market confirmation
Identifies Regime Shifts: Detects when entire market structure changes
Provides Context: Shows if moves are isolated or systemic
Dynamic Threshold Adaptation
Unlike fixed-threshold systems, EMD's boundaries evolve with market conditions:
Base Threshold = SMA(Ergodic Score, Lookback × 3)
Adaptive Component = StDev(Ergodic Score, Lookback × 2) × Sensitivity
Final Threshold = Smoothed(Base + Adaptive)
This creates context-aware signals that remain effective across different market environments.
The Confidence Engine: Know Your Signal Quality
Multi-Factor Confidence Scoring
Every signal receives a confidence score based on:
Signal Clarity (0-35%): How decisively the ergodic threshold is crossed
Momentum Strength (0-25%): Rate of ergodic change
Volatility Alignment (0-20%): Whether volatility supports the signal
Market Quality (0-20%): Price convergence and path dependency factors
Real-Time Confidence Updates
The Live Confidence metric continuously updates, showing:
- Current opportunity quality
- Market state clarity
- Historical performance influence
- Signal recency boost
- Visual Intelligence System
Adaptive Ergodic Field Bands
Dynamic bands that expand and contract based on market state:
Primary Color: Ergodic state (mean-reverting)
Danger Color: Non-ergodic state (trending)
Band Width: Expected price movement range
Squeeze Indicators: Volatility compression warnings
Quantum Wave Ribbons
Triple EMA system (8, 21, 55) revealing market flow:
Compressed Ribbons: Consolidation imminent
Expanding Ribbons: Directional move developing
Color Coding: Matches current ergodic state
Phase Transition Signals
Clear entry/exit markers at regime changes:
Bull Signals: Ergodic restoration (mean reversion opportunity)
Bear Signals: Ergodic break (trend following opportunity)
Confidence Labels: Percentage showing signal quality
Visual Intensity: Stronger signals = deeper colors

Linear Regression Channel UltimateKey Features and Benefits
Logarithmic scale option for improved analysis of long-term trends and volatile markets
Activity-based profiling using either touch count or volume data
Customizable channel width and number of profile fills
Adjustable number of most active levels displayed
Highly configurable visual settings for optimal chart readability
Why Logarithmic Scale Matters
The logarithmic scale option is a game-changer for analyzing assets with exponential growth or high volatility. Unlike linear scales, log scales represent percentage changes consistently across the price range. This allows for:
Better visualization of long-term trends
More accurate comparison of price movements across different price levels
Improved analysis of volatile assets or markets experiencing rapid growth
How It Works
The indicator calculates a linear regression line based on the specified period
Upper and lower channel lines are drawn at a customizable distance from the regression line
The space between the channel lines is divided into a user-defined number of levels
For each level, the indicator tracks either:
- The number of times price touches the level (touch count method)
- The total volume traded when price is at the level (volume method)
The most active levels are highlighted based on this activity data
Understanding Touch Count vs Volume
Touch count method: Useful for identifying key support/resistance levels based on price action alone
Volume method: Provides insight into levels where the most trading activity occurs, potentially indicating stronger support/resistance
Practical Applications
Trend identification and strength assessment
Support and resistance level discovery
Entry and exit point optimization
Volume profile analysis for improved market structure understanding
This Linear Regression Channel indicator combines powerful statistical analysis with flexible visualization options, making it an invaluable tool for traders and analysts across various timeframes and markets. Its unique features, especially the logarithmic scale and activity profiling, provide deeper insights into market behavior and potential turning points.
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.
Position Cost DistributionThe Position Cost Distribution indicator (also known as the Market Position Overview, Chip Distribution, or CYQ Algorithm) provides an estimate of how shares are distributed across different price levels. Visually, it resembles the Volume Profile indicator, though they rely on distinct computational approaches.
🟠 Principle
The Position Cost Distribution algorithm is based on the principle that a security's total shares outstanding usually remains constant, except under conditions like stock splits, reverse splits, or new share issuance. It views all trading activity as simply exchanging share positions between holders at different price points.
By analyzing daily trade volume and the prior day's distribution, the algorithm infers the resulting share distribution after each day. By tracking these inferred transpositions over time, the indicator builds up an aggregate view of the estimated share concentration at each price level. This provides insights into potential buying and selling pressure zones that could form support or resistance areas.
Together with the Volume Profile, the Position Cost Distribution gives traders multiple lenses for examining market structure from both a volume and positional standpoint. Both can help identify meaningful technical price levels.
🟠 Algorithm
The algorithm initializes by allocating all shares to the price range encompassed by the first bar displayed on the chart. Preferably, the chart window should include the stock's IPO date, allowing the model to distribute shares specifically to the IPO price.
For subsequent trading sessions, the indicator performs the following calculations:
1. The daily turnover ratio is calculated by dividing the bar's trading volume by total outstanding shares.
2. For each price level (bucket), the number of shares is reduced by the turnover amount to represent shares transferring from existing holders.
3. The bar's total volume is then added to buckets corresponding to that period's price range.
Currently, the model assumes each share has an equal probability of being exchanged, regardless of how long ago it was acquired or at what price. Potential optimizations could incorporate factors like making shares held longer face a smaller chance of transfer compared to more recently purchased shares.

PhantomFlow AccumulationDetectorThe PhantomFlow AccumulationDetector indicator analyzes the volume profile and displays potential accumulation based on the selected timeframe in the settings. This indicator can be used both as zones for trend following and for identifying reversals, as shown in the examples on the chart. The logic behind the formation of the accumulation zone is based on the fact that the POC (Point of Control) of the current zone is within the Volume Area range of the previous period.
Optimal settings for the working timeframe should be chosen visually, and the size of the zones should not be too large or too small. Additionally, it's advisable not to consider overly wide zones during increased volatility.
Consecutive zones within the same range often indicate a potential reversal.
We borrowed the volume profile calculation code from @LonesomeTheBlue. Thank you for the work done!
FFH Market structure v1The indicator determines the trend, its direction, confirmed trend, trend breakout levels (BoS), sideways ranges, volume profile point of control levels (vPoC) - all of this is conveniently displayed on the chart and helps complement your technical analysis.
The main idea of the script is to trade volume profile levels (vPoC) by identifying trends and sideways ranges. The script detect them and provides signals as soon as it detects a reaction from a volume level. You then complement these signals with your own technical analysis and make a decision to enter a trade. The script was developed solely to facilitate trading and address the issue of convenient visualization. Structure breakout levels are displayed as additional confirmations for making trading decisions. If we form a sideways range below/above such a trading level, it is a strong signal for me.
For sideways ranges, a volume level is calculated (vPoC), which also serves as input information for the signal engine. Signals are generated based on volume levels, with the calculation of stop loss (SL) and take profit (TP) levels. The SL is set at a certain percentage of the range boundaries or the previous high/low, as specified by a parameter. Targets are calculated intelligently based on trend reversal levels and volume levels.
The indicator parameters are individually tailored to each coin. The number of bars to determine the high/low is adjusted, as well as the allowable price deviation for defining the range boundaries on the first level. There are three modes for determining the sideways range, and data sources for highs/lows can be chosen (high/low/candle close, etc.). To make it more convenient for you to work with the indicator, there is an algorithm for automatic parameter adjustment built-in.
Currently script _only_ works for:
* BTC on 1-hour, 4-hour, and 1-day timeframes.
* ETC on 1-hour, 4-hour, and 1-day timeframes.
* Any altcoin on a 1-day timeframe.
The script will be beneficial to both novice traders, helping them understand market structure, sideways ranges, and identifying structure breakouts, as well as experienced traders, facilitating the process of plotting market structure elements on the chart and making trading decisions.
In any case, this script is not an investment idea.
All trading decisions you make based on the script are made independently and at your own risk.
OBVoscillatorTitle: OBV Oscillator
Author: OsborneCapital
The OBV (On Balance Volume) Oscillator developed by OsborneCapital is a distinctive variant from commonly published OBV indicators. This script capitalizes on the primary concept of the OBV, which is to cumulatively add or subtract the entire volume of each bar to a total, based on whether the closing price was higher or lower than the previous close. However, the OBV Oscillator by OsborneCapital improves upon this by introducing an additional layer of analysis.
Key Differences:
Oscillator Formulation:
The original OBV serves as a cumulative measure of buying and selling pressure. It does not naturally oscillate around a zero line. This script transforms OBV into an oscillator, offering a normalized view around a baseline (zero) for a more intuitive interpretation of buying and selling pressure.
Normalized Scaling:
The OBV Oscillator scales the OBV values down by a user-defined factor (default 1000), helping adapt the indicator to the magnitudes of the underlying market's volume profile.
Moving Average Comparison:
This script compares the scaled OBV with a Moving Average (MA) over a user-defined period, enhancing the visibility of divergences and convergences between volume trends and price action.
Usage:
The OBV Oscillator by OsborneCapital provides visual cues about the underlying buying or selling pressure, which is not directly visible from the price chart:
- Above zero line: Suggests the dominance of buying pressure, which may indicate an ongoing bullish sentiment.
- Below zero line: Indicates the dominance of selling pressure, hinting at bearish sentiment.
- Crossing the zero line: A change in the trend's direction, from bullish to bearish or vice versa.
Markets and Conditions:
The OBV Oscillator can be used across various markets, including but not limited to stocks, forex, cryptocurrencies, commodities, and futures. As this script fundamentally builds on volume analysis, it tends to be more effective in markets where volume information is reliable and significant.
It's always recommended to use this tool in conjunction with other indicators and analysis methods, as it mainly provides insights into volume trends and doesn't consider price levels or price-based trends. The indicator can be particularly effective in identifying potential breakouts when there's a divergence between the OBV Oscillator and the price trend.
Please remember, no indicator alone can guarantee success in trading, and a comprehensive approach, including risk management, should always be employed.
Halfback + One-Time-Framing BarsThis indicator is designed to be used with Market Profile / Volume Profile trading techniques on a 30min chart.
The halfback of a candle is the mid point between the high and the low of the candle. A halfback trade can be taken once price retraces into this point as support/resistance using the prevailing trend as your trade direction.
One-Time-Framing is a fancy term for trending in one direction. One-Time-Framing happens when a candle breaks the previous candle's high without testing the low or when a candle breaks the low of the previous candle without testing the high. This indicates that the trend is one directional and opposing pressure is very weak. Taking trades in the opposing direction of multiple OTF bars is typically a bad trade setup.
Halfback and OTF setups are typically used on a 30min timeframe combined with Market or Volume Profile, but you can experiment with these setups on any timeframe if you wish.
I hope you all enjoy this indicator, comment below if you have any questions.
Koalafied Volume Extension BubblesCircles based on extensions from volume Z-Score. Large volume candles can often signal exhaustion or show market strength in reversals or breakouts. Circles can be offset back to the start of the day/profile or left at the time where they occur.
Colours denoting deviations from the mean are
+2 std dev - Green
+1 std dev - Blue
-1 std dev - Red
-2 std dev - Purple
Concept is primarily as a pseudo volume profile delta tool. Obviously it's a very basic heuristic so would recommend further reading and use of actually footprint data to base trading decisions on.
Swing Assassin's Consolidated ScriptI put this script together to essentially consolidate a number of scripts that I use on a daily basis into one script. This is an ongoing improvement effort, so there may be some garbage in here right now so keep that in mind if you intend to use this to help in your trading.
There are 5 moving averages (Hull). I use the Fast, Mid and Slow to find entries after I us the Medium Slow and Super Slow to identify a trend. Otherwise, I have those three turned off.
This script also uses Bollinger Bands which I literally cannot trade without.
The script also has anchored VWAP , automated support/resistance lines, and a homebrewed Volume Profile that is a copy from Ildar Akhmetgaleev's indicator "Poor Man's Volume Profile" used under Mozilla Public License Version 2.0.
PRIME - Krypto Kiss+CCI+VPIntroducing from Prime Academy, the experimental "KryptO Kis$" algorithm, which combines our most powerful scripts all in one indicator. Available to the user are a full options platform to adjust parameters as well as individually blind indications for precise chart analysis. The following algorithms have been utilized:
* Prime Pulse (3 Candle System) - The original impulse and momentum indication system, it take rsi and tsi data to provide users with the indication of initial impulses, as well as a yellow candle to ascertain when there is a possible change of momentum in the current impulse.
* 5 SMA - The original Sniper Cross system seen from previous strategies, using the 4, 21, 50, 185, and 800 SMA's to determine changes of trend, continuation and support levels.
*CCI Indication on Chart - The system provides realtime CCI data in correlation to price positions within the general chart matrix, receiving system variables from various crosses on the 100 to -100 scale for CCI. Bullish and Bearish indications are clearly defined by separate colors.
* Volume Profile with tags - This system provides current volume data for the current time frame and sequence, also giving available tags at prices holding high volume orders, historically and present as indicated by the difference in length of indications. color saturations indicate the intensity of volume at the price in question .
* Shadow ZoneZ - Provides Support and resistance levels using rsi overbought and over sold data, sourced on the close of previous prices. Also embedded in the code is an additional volume confluence via indications of dotted lines with prices available, giving sequence positions of "Whales" and their support and resistance levels by order volume at price.
* An added bonus of the Shadow ZoneZ is the auto trend line and trend channel function , as well as the highlighted zones of liquidity waiting to be filled from previous impulses and lack of present retracements.

DeltaTrace ForecastDeltaTrace Forecast is a forward-looking projection tool that visualizes the probable directional path of price using a multi-timeframe momentum model rooted in volatility-adjusted nonlinear dynamics. Rather than relying on traditional indicators that react to price after the fact, DeltaTrace estimates future price motion by tracing the progression of momentum changes across expanding timeframes—then scaling those deltas using adaptive volatility to forecast a plausible path forward.
At its core, DeltaTrace constructs a momentum vector from a series of smoothed z-scores derived from increasing multiples of the current chart's timeframe. These z-scores are normalized using a hyperbolic tangent function (tanh), which compresses extreme values and emphasizes meaningful deviations without being overly sensitive to outliers. This nonlinear normalization ensures that explosive moves are weighted with less distortion, while still preserving the shape and direction of the underlying trend.
Once the z-scores are calculated for a range of 12 timeframes (from 1× the current timeframe up to 12×), the indicator computes the first difference between each adjacent pair. These differences—or deltas—represent the change in momentum from one timeframe to the next. In this structure, a strong positive delta implies momentum is strengthening as we look into higher timeframes, while a negative delta reflects waning or reversing strength.
However, not all deltas are treated equally. To make the projection adaptive to market volatility and temporally meaningful, each delta is scaled by the square root of its corresponding timeframe multiple, weighted by the ATR (Average True Range) of the base timeframe. This square-root volatility scaling mirrors the behavior of Brownian motion and reflects the natural geometric diffusion of price over time. By applying this scaling, the model tempers its forecast according to recent volatility while maintaining proportional distance over longer time horizons.
The result is a chain of projected price steps—11 in total—starting from the current closing price. These steps are cumulative, meaning each one builds upon the previous, forming a continuously adjusted polyline that represents the most recent forecast path of price. Each point in the forecast line is directional: if the next projected point is above the last, the segment is colored green (upward momentum); if below, it is colored red (downward momentum). This color coding gives immediate visual feedback on the nature of the projected path and allows for intuitive at-a-glance interpretation.
What makes DeltaTrace unique is its combination of ideas from signal processing, time-series momentum analysis, and volatility theory. Instead of relying on static support/resistance levels or lagging moving averages, it dynamically adapts to both momentum curvature and volatility structure. This allows it to be used not just for trend confirmation, but also for top-down bias fading, reversal anticipation, and path-following strategies.
Traders can use DeltaTrace in a variety of ways depending on their style:
For trend traders, a consistent upward or downward curve in the forecast suggests directional continuation and can be used for position sizing or confirmation of bias.
For mean-reversion traders, exaggerated divergence between the current price and the first few forecast points may indicate temporary exhaustion or overextension.
For scalpers or intraday traders, the short-term bend or flattening of the initial segments can reveal early signs of weakening momentum or build-up before breakout.
For swing traders, the full shape of the polyline gives an evolving map of market rhythm across time compression, allowing for context-aware decision-making.
It’s important to understand that this is a path projection tool, not a precise price target predictor. The forecast does not attempt to predict exact price levels at exact bars, but rather illustrates how the market might evolve if the current multi-timeframe momentum structure persists. Like all models, it should be interpreted probabilistically and used in conjunction with other confirmation signals, risk management tools, or strategy frameworks.
Inputs allow customization of the z-score calculation length and ATR window to tune the sensitivity of the model. The color scheme for up/down forecast segments can also be adjusted for personal preference. Additionally, users can toggle the polyline forecast on or off, which may be useful for pairing this indicator with others in a crowded chart layout.
Because the forecast path is calculated only on the last bar, it does not repaint or shift once the candle closes—preserving historical accuracy for visual inspection and backtesting reference. However, it is also sensitive to changes in volatility and momentum structure, meaning it updates each bar as conditions evolve, making it most effective in real-time decision support.
DeltaTrace Forecast is particularly well-suited for traders who want a deeper understanding of hidden momentum shifts across timeframes without relying on traditional trend-following tools. It reveals the shape of future possibility based on present dynamics, offering a compact yet powerful visualization of directional bias, transition risk, and path strength.
To maximize its utility, consider pairing DeltaTrace with volume profiles, order flow tools, higher timeframe zones, or market structure indicators. Used in context, it becomes a powerful companion to both systematic and discretionary trading styles—especially for those who appreciate a blend of mathematics and intuition in their market analysis.
This indicator is not based on magic or black-box logic; every component—from the z-score standardization to the volatility-adjusted deltas—is fully transparent and grounded in simple, interpretable mechanics. If you're looking for a reliable way to visualize multi-timeframe bias and momentum diffusion, DeltaTrace provides a unique lens through which to interpret future potential in an ever-shifting market landscape.
