----------
USAGE
This script gives signals based on a volatility forecast, e.g. for a stop
loss. It is a simplified version of my other script "trend_vol_forecast", which incorporates a trend following system and measures performance. The "X" labels indicate when the price touches (exceeds) a forecast. The signal occurs when price crosses "fcst_up" or "fcst_down".
There are only three parameters:
- volatility window: this is the number of periods (bars) used in the
historical volatility calculation. smaller number = reacts more
quickly to changes, but is a "noisier" signal.
- forecast periods: the number of periods for projecting a volatility
forecast. for example, "21" on a daily chart means the plots will
show the forecast from 21 days ago.
- forecast stdev: the number of standard deviations in the forecast.
for example, "2" means that price is expected to remain within
the forecast plot ~95% of the time. A higher number produces a
wider forecast.
The output table shows:
- realized vol: the volatility over the previous N periods, where N =
"volatility window".
- forecast vol: the realized volatility from N periods ago, where N =
"forecast periods"
- up/down fcst (level): the price level of the forecast for the next
N bars, where N = "forecast periods".
- up/down fcst (%): the difference between the current and forecast
price, expressed as a whole number percentage.
The plots show:
- blue/red plot: the upper/lower forecast from "forecast periods" ago.
- blue/red line: the upper/lower forecast for the next
"forecast periods".
- red/blue labels: an "X" where the price touched the forecast from
"forecast periods" ago.
+ NOTE: pinescript only draws a limited number of labels.
They will not appear very far into the past.

Decaying Rate of Change Non Linear FilterThis is a potential solution to dealing with the inherent lag in most filters especially with instruments such as BTC and the effects of long periods of low volatility followed by massive volatility spikes as well as whipsaws/barts etc.
We can try and solve these issues in a number of ways, adaptive lengths, dynamic weighting etc. This filter uses a non linear weighting combined with an exponential decay rate.
With the non linear weighting the filter can become very responsive to sudden volatility spikes. We can use a short length absolute rate of change as a method to improve weighting of relative high volatility.
c1 = abs(close - close ) / close
Which gives us a fairly simple filter :
filter = sum(c1 * close,periods) / sum(c1,periods)
At this point if we want to control the relative magnitude of the ROC coefficients we can do so by raising it to a power.
c2 = pow(c1, x)
Where x approaches zero the coefficient approaches 1 or a linear filter. At x = 1 we have an unmodified coefficient and higher values increase the relative magnitude of the response. As an extreme example with x = 10 we effectively isolate the highest ROC candle within the window (which has some novel support resistance horizontals as those closes are often important). This controls the degree of responsiveness, so we can magnify the responsiveness, but with the trade off of overshoot/persistence.
So now we have the problem whereby that a highly weighted data point from a high volatility event persists within the filter window. And to a possibly extreme degree, if a reversal occurs we get a potentially large "overshoot" and in a way actually induced a large amount of lag for future price action.
This filter compensates for this effect by exponentially decaying the abs(ROC) coefficient over time, so as a high volatility event passes through the filter window it receives exponentially less weighting allowing more recent prices to receive a higher relative weighting than they would have.
c3 = c2 * pow(1 - percent_decay, periods_back)
This is somewhat similar to an EMA, however with an EMA being recursive that event will persist forever (to some degree) in the calculation. Here we are using a fixed window, so once the event is behind the window it's completely removed from the calculation
I've added Ehler's Super Smoother as an optional smoothing function as some highly non linear settings benefit from smoothing. I can't remember where I got the original SS code snippet, so if you recognize it as yours msg me and I'll link you here.
Volume-Weighted Money Flow [sgbpulse]Overview
The VWMF indicator is an advanced technical analysis tool that combines and summarizes five leading momentum and volume indicators (OBV, PVT, A/D, CMF, MFI) into one clear oscillator. The indicator helps to provide a clear picture of market sentiment by measuring the pressure from buyers and sellers. Unlike single indicators, VWMF provides a comprehensive view of market money flow by weighting existing indicators and presenting them in a uniform and understandable format.
Indicator Components
VWMF combines the following indicators, each normalized to a range of 0 to 100 before being weighted:
On-Balance Volume (OBV): A cumulative indicator that measures positive and negative volume flow.
Price-Volume Trend (PVT): Similar to OBV, but incorporates relative price change for a more precise measure.
Accumulation/Distribution Line (A/D): Used to identify whether an asset is being bought (accumulated) or sold (distributed).
Chaikin Money Flow (CMF): Measures the money flow over a period based on the close price's position relative to the candle's range.
Money Flow Index (MFI): A momentum oscillator that combines price and volume to measure buying and selling pressure.
Understanding the Normalized Oscillators
The indicator combines the five different momentum indicators by normalizing each one to a uniform range of 0 to 100 .
Why is Normalization Important?
Indicators like OBV, PVT, and the A/D Line are cumulative indicators whose values can become very large. To assess their trend, we use a Moving Average as a dynamic reference line . The Moving Average allows us to understand whether the indicator is currently trending up or down relative to its average behavior over time.
How Does Normalization Work?
Our normalization fully preserves the original trend of each indicator.
For Cumulative Indicators (OBV, PVT, A/D): We calculate the difference between the current indicator value and its Moving Average. This difference is then passed to the normalization process.
- If the indicator is above its Moving Average, the difference will be positive, and the normalized value will be above 50.
- If the indicator is below its Moving Average, the difference will be negative, and the normalized value will be below 50.
Handling Extreme Values: To overcome the issue of extreme values in indicators like OBV, PVT, and the A/D Line , the function calculates the highest absolute value over the selected period. This value is used to prevent sharp spikes or drops in a single indicator from compromising the accuracy of the normalization over time. It's a sophisticated method that ensures the oscillators remain relevant and accurate.
For Bounded Indicators (CMF, MFI): These indicators already operate within a known range (for example, CMF is between -1 and 1, and MFI is between 0 and 100), so they are normalized directly without an additional reference line.
Reference Line Settings:
Moving Average Type: Allows the user to choose between a Simple Moving Average (SMA) and an Exponential Moving Average (EMA).
Volume Flow MA Length: Allows the user to set the lookback period for the Moving Average, which affects the indicator's sensitivity.
The 50 line serves as the new "center line." This ensures that, even after normalization, the determination of whether a specific indicator supports a bullish or bearish trend remains clear.
Settings and Visual Tools
The indicator offers several customization options to provide a rich analysis experience:
VWMF Oscillator (Blue Line): Represents the weighted average of all five indicators. Values above 50 indicate bullish momentum, and values below 50 indicate bearish momentum.
Strength Metrics (Bullish/Bearish Strength %): Two metrics that appear on the status line, showing the percentage of indicators supporting the current trend. They range from 0% to 100%, providing a quick view of the strength of the consensus.
Dynamic Background Colors: The background color of the chart automatically changes to bullish (a blue shade by default) or bearish (a default brown-gray shade) based on the trend. The transparency of the color shows the consensus strength—the more opaque the background, the more indicators support the trend.
Advanced Settings:
- Background Color Logic: Allows the user to choose the trigger for the background color: Weighted Value (based on the combined oscillator) or Strength (based on the majority of individual indicators).
- Weights: Provides full control over the weight of each of the five indicators in the final oscillator.
Using the Data Window
TradingView provides a useful Data Window that allows you to see the exact numerical values of each normalized oscillator separately, in addition to the trend strength data.
You can use this window to:
Get more detailed information on each indicator: Viewing the precise numerical data of each of the five indicators can help in making trading decisions.
Calibrate weights: If you want to manually adjust the indicator weights (in the settings menu), you can do so while tracking the impact of each indicator on the weighted oscillator in the Data Window.
The indicator's default setting is an equal weight of 20% for each of the five indicators.
Alert Conditions
The indicator comes with a variety of built-in alerts that can be configured through the TradingView alerts menu:
VWMF Cross Above 50: An alert when the VWMF oscillator crosses above the 50 line, indicating a potential bullish momentum shift.
VWMF Cross Below 50: An alert when the VWMF oscillator crosses below the 50 line, indicating a potential bearish momentum shift.
Bullish Strength: High But Not Absolute Consensus: An alert when the bullish trend strength reaches 60% or more but is less than 100%, indicating a high but not absolute consensus.
Bullish Strength at 100%: An alert when all five indicators (MFI, OBV, PVT, A/D, CMF) show bullish strength, indicating a full and absolute consensus.
Bearish Strength: High But Not Absolute Consensus: An alert when the bearish trend strength reaches 60% or more but is less than 100%, indicating a high but not absolute consensus.
Bearish Strength at 100%: An alert when all five indicators (MFI, OBV, PVT, A/D, CMF) show bearish strength, indicating a full and absolute consensus.
Summary
The VWMF indicator is a powerful, all-in-one tool for analyzing market momentum, money flow, and sentiment. By combining and normalizing five different indicators into a single oscillator, it offers a holistic and accurate view of the market's underlying trend. Its dynamic visual features and customizable settings, including the ability to adjust indicator weights, provide a flexible experience for both novice and experienced traders. The built-in alerts for momentum shifts and trend consensus make it an effective tool for spotting trading opportunities with confidence. In essence, VWMF distills complex market data into clear, actionable signals.

Frahm FactorIntended Usage of the Frahm Factor Indicator
The Frahm Factor is designed to give you a rapid, at-a-glance assessment of how volatile the market is right now—and how large the average candle has been—over the most recent 24-hour window. Here’s how to put it to work:
Gauge Volatility Regimes
Volatility Score (1–10)
A low score (1–3, green) signals calm seas—tight ranges, low risk of big moves.
A mid score (4–6, yellow) warns you that volatility is picking up.
A high score (7–10, red) tells you to prepare for disorderly swings or breakout opportunities.
How to trade off it
In low-volatility periods, you might favor mean-reversion or range-bound strategies.
As the score climbs into the red zone, consider widening stops, scaling back position size, or switching to breakout momentum plays.
Monitor Average Candle Size
Avg Candle (ticks) cell shows you the mean true-range of each bar over that 24h window in ticks.
When candles are small, you know the market is consolidating and liquidity may be thin.
When candles are large, momentum and volume are driving strong directional bias.
The optional dynamic color ramp (green→yellow→red) immediately flags when average bar size is unusually small or large versus its own 24h history.
Customize & Stay Flexible
Timeframes: Works on any intraday chart—from 1-minute scalping to 4-hour swing setups—because it always looks back exactly 24 hours.
Toggles:
Show or hide the Volatility and Avg-Candle cells to keep your screen uncluttered.
Turn on the dynamic color ramp only when you want that extra visual cue.
Alerts: Built-in alerts fire automatically at meaningful thresholds (Volatility ≥ 8 or ≤ 3), so you’ll never miss regime shifts, even if you step away.
Real-World Applications
Risk Management: Automatically adjust your stop-loss distances or position sizing based on the current volatility band.
Strategy Selection: Flip between range-trading and momentum strategies as the volatility regime changes.
Session Analysis: Pinpoint when during the day volatility typically ramps—perfect for doorway sessions like London opening or the US midday news spikes.
Bottom line: the Frahm Factor gives you one compact dashboard to see the pulse of the market—so you can make choices with conviction, dial your risk in real time, and never be caught off guard by sudden volatility shifts.
Logic Behind the Frahm Factor Indicator
24-Hour Rolling Window
On every intraday bar, we append that bar’s True Range (TR) and timestamp to two arrays.
We then prune any entries older than 24 hours, so the arrays always reflect exactly the last day of data.
Volatility Score (1–10)
We count how many of those 24 h TR values are less than or equal to the current bar’s TR.
Dividing by the total array size gives a percentile (0–1), which we scale and round into a 1–10 score.
Average Candle Size (ticks)
We sum all TR values in the same 24 h window, divide by array length to get the mean TR, then convert that price range into ticks.
Optionally, a green→yellow→red ramp highlights when average bar size is unusually small, medium or large versus its own 24 h history.
Color & Alerts
The Volatility cell flips green (1–3), yellow (4–6) or red (7–10) so you see regime shifts at a glance.
Built-in alertcondition calls fire when the score crosses your high (≥ 8) or low (≤ 3) thresholds.
Modularity
Everything—table location, which cells to show, dynamic coloring—is controlled by simple toggles, so you can strip it back or layer on extra visual cues as needed.
That’s the full recipe: a true 24 h look-back, a percentile-ranked volatility gauge, and a mean-bar-size meter, all wrapped into one compact dashboard.

Double Top/Bottom DetectorDouble Top/Bottom Detector Indicator Description
Overview
The Double Top/Bottom Detector is a technical analysis tool designed to automatically identify and label potential double top and double bottom patterns on price charts. By combining pivot point detection with configurable height tolerance and pullback depth criteria, this indicator helps traders visually spot possible trend reversal zones without manual drawing or guesswork.
Key Features
• Pivot Point Identification
The indicator uses a symmetric window approach to find true highs and lows. A pivot high is confirmed only when a bar’s high exceeds the highs of a specified number of bars both before and after it. Likewise, a pivot low is established when a bar’s low is the lowest in its surrounding window.
• Double Top and Double Bottom Detection
– Height Tolerance: Ensures that the two pivot points forming the pattern are within a user-defined percentage of each other.
– Pullback Depth: Measures the drop (for a double top) or the rise (for a double bottom) between the two pivot points and confirms that it meets a minimum percentage threshold.
• Automatic Drawing and Labeling
When a valid double top is detected, a red line connects the two pivot highs and a “Double Top” label is centered above the line. For a double bottom, a green line connects the two pivot lows and a “Double Bottom” label appears below the midpoint.
• Pivot Visualization for Debugging
Small red and green triangles mark every detected pivot high and pivot low on the chart, making it easy to verify and fine-tune settings.
Parameters
Height Tolerance (%) – The maximum allowable percentage difference between the two pivot heights (default 2.0).
Pullback Minimum (%) – The minimum required percentage pullback (for tops) or rebound (for bottoms) between the two pivots (default 5.0).
Pivot Lookback – The number of bars to look back and forward for validating pivot points (default 5).
Window Length – The number of bars over which to compute pullback extrema, equal to twice the pivot lookback plus one (default derived from pivot lookback).
Usage Instructions
1. Copy the Pine Script code into TradingView’s editor and select version 6.
2. Adjust the parameters based on the asset’s volatility and timeframe. A larger lookback window yields fewer but more reliable pivots; tighter height tolerance produces more precise pattern matches.
3. Observe the chart for red and green triangles marking pivot highs and lows. When two qualifying pivots occur, the indicator draws a connecting line and displays a descriptive label.
4. To extend the number of visible historical lines and labels, increase the max\_lines\_count and max\_labels\_count settings in the indicator declaration.
Customization Ideas
• Add volume or moving average filters to reduce false signals.
• Encapsulate pivot logic into reusable functions for cleaner code.
• Incorporate alert conditions to receive notifications when new double top or bottom patterns form.
This indicator is well suited for medium- to long-term analysis and can be combined with risk management rules to enhance decision making.
Volume-Weighted Pivot BandsThe Volume-Weighted Pivot Bands are meant to be a dynamic, rolling pivot system designed to provide traders with responsive support and resistance levels that adapt to both price volatility and volume participation. Unlike traditional daily pivot levels, this tool recalculates levels bar-by-bar using a rolling window of volume-weighted averages, making it highly relevant for intraday traders, scalpers, swing traders, and algorithmic systems alike.
-- What This Indicator Does --
This tool calculates a rolling VWAP-based pivot level, and surrounds that central pivot with up to five upper bands (R1–R5) and five lower bands (S1–S5). These act as dynamic zones of potential resistance (R) and support (S), adapting in real time to price and volume changes.
Rather than relying on static session or daily data, this indicator provides continually evolving levels, offering more relevant levels during sideways action, trending periods, and breakout conditions.
-- How the Bands Are Calculated --
Pivot (VWAP Pivot):
The core of this system is a rolling Volume-Weighted Average Price, calculated over a user-defined window (default 20 bars). This ensures that each bar’s price impact is weighted by its volume, giving a more accurate view of fair value during the selected lookback.
Volume-Weighted Range (VW Range):
The highest high and lowest low over the same window are used to calculate the volatility range — this acts as a spread factor.
Support & Resistance Bands (S1–S5, R1–R5):
The bands are offset above and below the pivot using multiples of the VW Range:
R1 = Pivot + (VW Range × multiplier)
R2 = R1 + (VW Range × multiplier)
R3 = R2 + (VW Range x multiplier)
...
S1 = Pivot − (VW Range × multiplier)
S2 = S1 − (VW Range × multiplier)
S3 = S2 - (VW Range x multiplier)
...
You can control the multiplier manually (default is 0.25), to widen or tighten band spacing.
Smoothing (Optional):
To prevent erratic movements, you can optionally toggle on/off a simple moving average to the pivot line (default length = 20), providing a smoother trend base for the bands.
-- How to Use It --
This indicator can be used for:
Support and resistance identification:
Price often reacts to R1/S1, and the outer bands (R4/R5 or S4/S5) act as overshoot zones or strong reversal areas.
Trend context:
If price is respecting upper bands (R2–R3), the trend is likely bullish. If price is pressing into S3 or lower, it may indicate sustained selling pressure or a breakdown.
Volatility framing:
The distance between bands adjusts based on price range over the rolling window. In tighter markets, the bands compress — in volatile moves, they expand. This makes the indicator self-adaptive.
Mean reversion trades:
A move into R4/R5 or S4/S5 without continuation can be a sign of exhaustion — potential for reversal toward the pivot.
Alerting:
Built-in alerts are available for crosses of all major bands (R1–R5, S1–S5), enabling trade automation or scalp alerts with ease.
-- Visual Features --
Fuchsia Lines: Mark all Resistance (R1–R5) levels.
Lime Lines: Mark all Support (S1–S5) levels.
Gray Circle Line: Marks the rolling pivot (VWAP-based).
-- Customizable Settings --
Rolling Length: Number of bars used to calculate VWAP and VW Range.
Multiplier: Controls how wide the bands are spaced.
Smooth Pivot: Toggle on/off to smooth the central pivot.
Pivot Smoothing Length: Controls how many bars to average when smoothing is enabled.
Offset: Visually shift all bands forward/backward in time.
-- Why Use This Over Standard Pivots? --
Traditional pivots are based on previous session data and remain fixed. That’s useful for static setups, but may become irrelevant as price action evolves. In contrast:
This system updates every bar, adjusting to current price behavior.
It includes volume — a key feature missing from most static pivots.
It shows multiple bands, giving a full view of compression, breakout potential, or trend exhaustion.
-- Who Is This For? --
This tool is ideal for:
Day traders & scalpers who need relevant intraday levels.
Swing traders looking for evolving areas of confluence.
Algorithmic/systematic traders who rely on quantifiable, volume-aware support/resistance.
Traders on all assets: works on crypto, stocks, futures, forex — any chart that has volume.

By applying the principles of persistent homology, this indicator provides traders with valuable insights into the strength and stability of uptrends and downtrends, helping to inform better trading decisions.
What Makes This Indicator Original?
This indicator's originality lies in its application of persistent homology , a method from topological data analysis, to financial markets. Persistent homology examines the shape and features of data across multiple scales, identifying patterns that persist as the scale changes. By adapting this concept, the oscillator tracks the persistence of uptrends and downtrends in price data, offering a novel approach to trend analysis.
Concepts Underlying the Calculations:
Persistent Homology: This method identifies features such as clusters, holes, and voids that persist as the scale changes. In the context of this indicator, it tracks the duration and stability of price trends.
Rolling Window Analysis: The oscillator uses a specified window size to calculate the average length of uptrends and downtrends, providing a dynamic view of trend persistence over time.
Threshold-Based Trend Identification: It differentiates between uptrends and downtrends based on specified thresholds for price changes, ensuring precision in trend detection.
How It Works:
The oscillator monitors consecutive changes in closing prices to identify uptrends and downtrends.
An uptrend is detected when the closing price increase exceeds a specified positive threshold.
A downtrend is detected when the closing price decrease exceeds a specified negative threshold.
The lengths of these trends are recorded and averaged over the chosen window size.
The Trend Persistence Index is calculated as the difference between the average uptrend length and the average downtrend length, providing a measure of trend persistence.
How Traders Can Use It:
Identify Trend Strength: The Trend Persistence Index offers a clear measure of the strength and stability of uptrends and downtrends. A higher value indicates stronger and more persistent uptrends, while a lower value suggests stronger and more persistent downtrends.
Spot Trend Reversals: Significant shifts in the Trend Persistence Index can signal potential trend reversals. For instance, a transition from positive to negative values might indicate a shift from an uptrend to a downtrend.
Confirm Trends: Use the Trend Persistence Index alongside other technical indicators to confirm the strength and duration of trends, enhancing the accuracy of your trading signals.
Manage Risk: Understanding trend persistence can help traders manage risk by identifying periods of high trend stability versus periods of potential volatility. This can be crucial for timing entries and exits.
Example Usage:
Default Settings: Start with the default settings to get a feel for the oscillator’s behavior. Observe how the Trend Persistence Index reacts to different market conditions.
Adjust Thresholds: Fine-tune the positive and negative thresholds based on the asset's volatility to improve trend detection accuracy.
Combine with Other Indicators: Use the Persistent Homology Based Trend Strength Oscillator in conjunction with other technical indicators such as moving averages, RSI, or MACD for a comprehensive analysis.
Backtesting: Conduct backtesting to see how the oscillator would have performed in past market conditions, helping you to refine your trading strategy.
Machine Learning: Trend Pulse⚠️❗ Important Limitations: Due to the way this script is designed, it operates specifically under certain conditions:
Stocks & Forex : Only compatible with timeframes of 8 hours and above ⏰
Crypto : Only works with timeframes starting from 4 hours and higher ⏰
❗Please note that the script will not work on lower timeframes.❗
Feature Extraction : It begins by identifying a window of past price changes. Think of this as capturing the "mood" of the market over a certain period.
Distance Calculation : For each historical data point, it computes a distance to the current window. This distance measures how similar past and present market conditions are. The smaller the distance, the more similar they are.
Neighbor Selection : From these, it selects 'k' closest neighbors. The variable 'k' is a user-defined parameter indicating how many of the closest historical points to consider.
Price Estimation : It then takes the average price of these 'k' neighbors to generate a forecast for the next stock price.
Z-Score Scaling: Lastly, this forecast is normalized using the Z-score to make it more robust and comparable over time.
Inputs:
histCap (Historical Cap) : histCap limits the number of past bars the script will consider. Think of it as setting the "memory" of model—how far back in time it should look.
sampleSpeed (Sampling Rate) : sampleSpeed is like a time-saving shortcut, allowing the script to skip bars and only sample data points at certain intervals. This makes the process faster but could potentially miss some nuances in the data.
winSpan (Window Size) : This is the size of the "snapshot" of market data the script will look at each time. The window size sets how many bars the algorithm will include when it's measuring how "similar" the current market conditions are to past conditions.
All these variables help to simplify and streamline the k-NN model, making it workable within limitations. You could see them as tuning knobs, letting you balance between computational efficiency and predictive accuracy.
Relative slopeRelative slope metric
Description:
I was in need to create a simple, naive and elegant metric that was able to tell how strong is the trend in a given rolling window. While abstaining from using more complicated and arguably more precise approaches, I’ve decided to use Linearly Weighted Linear Regression slope for this goal. Outright values are useful, but the problem was that I wasn’t able to use it in comparative analysis, i.e between different assets & different resolutions & different window sizes, because obviously the outputs are scale-variant.
Here is the asset-agnostic, resolution-agnostic and window size agnostic version of the metric.
I made it asset agnostic & resolution agnostic by including spread information to the formula. In our case it's weighted stdev over differenced data (otherwise we contaminate the spread with the trend info). And I made it window size agnostic by adding a non-linear relation of length to the output, so finally it will be aprox in (-1, 1) interval, by taking square root of length, nothing fancy. All these / 2 and * 2 in unexpected places all around the formula help us to return the data to it’s natural scale while keeping the transformations in place.

ATR based Pivots mcbwHey everyone this is an exciting new script I have prepared for you.
I was reading an old forex bulletin article some time ago when I came across this: solar.murty.net (or you can download the full bulletin with lots of other good articles here: www.forexfactory.com).
You can already buy this for metatrader (www.mql5.com) so I figured to make it for free for tradingview.
This bulletin suggested that you can reasonably predict daily volatility by adding or subtracting multiples of the daily ATR to the daily opening. Using this you can choose multiples to use as price targets and alternatively as stop losses. For example, if you already have a sense of market direction you can buy at market open place a stop loss at - 1 daily ATR and a profit target at + 3 ATRs for a risk to reward ratio of 3. If you are looking for smaller/quicker moves with a ratio of 3 you can have a stop loss at -0.25 ATR and a take profit at +0.75 ATR.
Alternatively this article also suggests to use this method to catch volatility breakouts. If price is higher than the + 1 ATR area then you can safely assume it will be going to the +2 ATR area so you can put a buy stop at + 1 ATR with a profit target at + 2 ATR with a stop loss at +0.5 ATR to catch a volatility breakout with a risk to reward ratio of 2!
Even further there are methods that you can use with ATRs of multiple window sizes, for example by opening two copies of this indicator and measuring recent volatility with a 1 week window and long term volatility within a 1 month window. If the short term volatility is crossing the long term volatility then there is a high probability chance that even more price movement will occur.
However I have found that this method is good for more than daily volatility , it can also be used to measure weekly volatility , and monthly volatility and use these multiples as good long term price targets.
To select if you want daily, weekly, or monthly values of the ATR of volatility you're using go to the settings and click on the options in the "Opening period". The default window of the ATR here is 14 periods, but you can change this if you want to in "ATR period". Most importantly you are able to select which multiples of the ATR you would like to use in the settings in "ATR multiple 1" which is the green line, "ATR multiple 2" which is the blue line, and "ATR multiple 3" which is the purple line. You can select any values you want to put in these, the choice of 0.25, 0.5, and 1 is not special, some people use fibonacci numbers here or simply 0.33, 0.66, and 0.99.
Repainting issue: This script uses the daily value of the Average True Range (ATR), which measures the volatility that is happening today. If price becomes more volatile then the value of the ATR can increase throughout the day, but it can never decrease. What this means is that the ATR based pivots are able to expand away from the opening price, which should not affect the trades that you take based on these areas. If you base your take profit on one of these ATR multiples and the daily volatility increase this means that your take profit area will be closer to your entry than the ATR multiple. Meaning that your trades will be more conservative.
While this all may sound very technical it is super intuitive, throw this on your chart and play around with it :)
Happy trading!
Cheat CodeWhy Monday & Friday
Monday evening (NY): frequently seeds the weekly expansion. Its DR/IDR often acts as a weekly “starter envelope,” useful for breakout continuation or fade back into the box plays as liquidity builds.
Friday evening (NY): often exposes end-of-week traps (run on stops into the close) and sets expectation boundaries into the following week. Carry these levels forward to catch Monday’s reaction to Friday’s closing structure.
Typical use-cases
Breakout & retest:
Price closes outside the Monday DR/IDR → look for retests of the band edge for continuation.
Liquidity sweep (“trap”) recognition:
Friday session wicks briefly beyond Friday DR/IDR then closes back inside → watch for mean reversion early next week.
Bias filter:
Above both Monday DR midline and Friday DR midline → bias long until proven otherwise; the inverse for shorts.
Session open confluence:
Reactions at the open line frequently mark decision points for momentum vs. fade setups.
(This is a levels framework, not a signals engine. Combine with your execution model: orderflow, S/R, session timing, or higher-TF bias.)

Information-Geometric Market DynamicsInformation-Geometric Market Dynamics
The Information Field: A Geometric Approach to Market Dynamics
By: DskyzInvestments
Foreword: Beyond the Shadows on the Wall
If you have traded for any length of time, you know " the feeling ." It is the frustration of a perfect setup that fails, the whipsaw that stops you out just before the real move, the nagging sense that the chart is telling you only half the story. For decades, technical analysis has relied on interpreting the shadows—the patterns left behind by price. We draw lines on these shadows, apply indicators to them, and hope they reveal the future.
But what if we could stop looking at the shadows and, instead, analyze the object casting them?
This script introduces a new paradigm for market analysis: Information-Geometric Market Dynamics (IGMD) . The core premise of IGMD is that the price chart is merely a one-dimensional projection of a much richer, higher-dimensional reality—an " information field " generated by the collective actions and beliefs of all market participants.
This is not just another collection of indicators. It is a unified framework for measuring the geometry of the market's information field—its memory, its complexity, its uncertainty, its causal flows—and making high-probability decisions based on that deeper reality. By fusing advanced mathematical and informational concepts, IGMD provides a multi-faceted lens through which to view market behavior, moving beyond simple price action into the very structure of market information itself.
Prepare to move beyond the flatland of the price chart. Welcome to the information field.
The IGMD Framework: A Multi-Kernel Approach
What is a Kernel? The Heart of Transformation
In mathematics and data science, a kernel is a powerful and elegant concept. At its core, a kernel is a function that takes complex, often inscrutable data and transforms it into a more useful format. Think of it as a specialized lens or a mathematical "probe." You cannot directly measure abstract concepts like "market memory" or "trend quality" by looking at a price number. First, you must process the raw price data through a specific mathematical machine—a kernel—that is designed to output a measurement of that specific property. Kernels operate by performing a sort of "similarity test," projecting data into a higher-dimensional space where hidden patterns and relationships become visible and measurable.
Why do creators use them? We use kernels to extract features —meaningful pieces of information—that are not explicitly present in the raw data. They are the essential tools for moving beyond surface-level analysis into the very DNA of market behavior. A simple moving average can tell you the average price; a suite of well-chosen kernels can tell you about the character of the price action itself.
The Alchemist's Challenge: The Art of Fusion
Using a single kernel is a challenge. Using five distinct, computationally demanding mathematical engines in unison is an immense undertaking. The true difficulty—and artistry—lies not just in using one kernel, but in fusing the outputs of many . Each kernel provides a different perspective, and they can often give conflicting signals. One kernel might detect a strong trend, while another signals rising chaos and uncertainty. The IGMD script's greatest strength is its ability to act as this alchemist, synthesizing these disparate viewpoints through a weighted fusion process to produce a single, coherent picture of the market's state. It required countless hours of testing and calibration to balance the influence of these five distinct analytical engines so they work in harmony rather than cacophony.
The Five Kernels of Market Dynamics
The IGMD script is built upon a foundation of five distinct kernels, each chosen to probe a unique and critical dimension of the market's information field.
1. The Wavelet Kernel (The "Microscope")
What it is: The Wavelet Kernel is a signal processing function designed to decompose a signal into different frequency scales. Unlike a Fourier Transform that analyzes the entire signal at once, the wavelet slides across the data, providing information about both what frequencies are present and when they occurred.
The Kernels I Use:
Haar Kernel: The simplest wavelet, a square-wave shape defined by the coefficients . It excels at detecting sharp, sudden changes.
Daubechies 2 (db2) Kernel: A more complex and smoother wavelet shape that provides a better balance for analyzing the nuanced ebb and flow of typical market trends.
How it Works in the Script: This kernel is applied iteratively. It first separates the finest "noise" (detail d1) from the first level of trend (approximation a1). It then takes the trend a1 and repeats the process, extracting the next level of cycle (d2) and trend (a2), and so on. This hierarchical decomposition allows us to separate short-term noise from the long-term market "thesis."
2. The Hurst Exponent Kernel (The "Memory Gauge")
What it is: The Hurst Exponent is derived from a statistical analysis kernel that measures the "long-term memory" or persistence of a time series. It is the definitive measure of whether a series is trending (H > 0.5), mean-reverting (H < 0.5), or random (H = 0.5).
How it Works in the Script: The script employs a method based on Rescaled Range (R/S) analysis. It calculates the average range of price movements over increasingly larger time lags (m1, m2, m4, m8...). The slope of the line plotting log(range) vs. log(lag) is the Hurst Exponent. Applying this complex statistical analysis not to the raw price, but to the clean, wavelet-decomposed trend lines, is a key innovation of IGMD.
3. The Fractal Dimension Kernel (The "Complexity Compass")
What it is: This kernel measures the geometric complexity or "jaggedness" of a price path, based on the principles of fractal geometry. A straight line has a dimension of 1; a chaotic, space-filling line approaches a dimension of 2.
How it Works in the Script: We use a version based on Ehlers' Fractal Dimension Index (FDI). It calculates the rate of price change over a full lookback period (N3) and compares it to the sum of the rates of change over the two halves of that period (N1 + N2). The formula d = (log(N1 + N2) - log(N3)) / log(2) quantifies how much "longer" and more convoluted the price path was than a simple straight line. This kernel is our primary filter for tradeable (low complexity) vs. untradeable (high complexity) conditions.
4. The Shannon Entropy Kernel (The "Uncertainty Meter")
What it is: This kernel comes from Information Theory and provides the purest mathematical measure of information, surprise, or uncertainty within a system. It is not a measure of volatility; a market moving predictably up by 10 points every bar has high volatility but zero entropy .
How it Works in the Script: The script normalizes price returns by the ATR, categorizes them into a discrete number of "bins" over a lookback window, and forms a probability distribution. The Shannon Entropy H = -Σ(p_i * log(p_i)) is calculated from this distribution. A low H means returns are predictable. A high H means returns are chaotic. This kernel is our ultimate gauge of market conviction.
5. The Transfer Entropy Kernel (The "Causality Probe")
What it is: This is by far the most advanced and computationally intensive kernel in the script. Transfer Entropy is a non-parametric measure of directed information flow between two time series. It moves beyond correlation to ask: "Does knowing the past of Volume genuinely reduce our uncertainty about the future of Price?"
How it Works in the Script: To make this work, the script discretizes both price returns and the chosen "driver" (e.g., OBV) into three states: "up," "down," or "neutral." It then builds complex conditional probability tables to measure the flow of information in both directions. The Net Transfer Entropy (TE Driver→Price minus TE Price→Driver) gives us a direct measure of causality . A positive score means the driver is leading price, confirming the validity of the move. This is a profound leap beyond traditional indicator analysis.
Chapter 3: Fusion & Interpretation - The Field Score & Dashboard
Each kernel is a specialist providing a piece of the puzzle. The Field Score is where they are fused into a single, comprehensive reading. It's a weighted sum of the normalized scores from all five kernels, producing a single number from -1 (maximum bearish information field) to +1 (maximum bullish information field). This is the ultimate "at-a-glance" metric for the market's net state, and it is interpreted through the dashboard.
The Dashboard: Your Mission Control
Field Score & Regime: The master metric and its plain-English interpretation ("Uptrend Field", "Downtrend Field", "Transitional").
Kernel Readouts (Wave Align, H(w), FDI, etc.): The live scores of each individual kernel. This allows you to see why the Field Score is what it is. A high Field Score with all components in agreement (all green or red) is a state of High Coherence and represents a high-quality setup.
Market Context: Standard metrics like RSI and Volume for additional confluence.
Signals: The raw and adjusted confluence counts and the final, calculated probability scores for potential long and short entries.
Pattern: Shows the dominant candlestick pattern detected within the currently forming APEX range box and its calculated confidence percentage.
Chapter 4: Mastering the Controls - The Inputs Menu
Every parameter is a lever to fine-tune the IGMD engine.
📊 Wavelet Transform: Kernel ( Haar for sharp moves, db2 for smooth trends) and Scales (depth of analysis) let you tune the script's core microscope to your asset's personality.
📈 Hurst Exponent: The Window determines if you're assessing short-term or long-term market memory.
🔍 Fractal Dimension & ⚡ Entropy Volatility: Adjust the lookback windows to make these kernels more or less sensitive to recent price action. Always keep "Normalize by ATR" enabled for Entropy for consistent results.
🔄 Transfer Entropy: Driver lets you choose what causal force to measure (e.g., OBV, Volume, or even an external symbol like VIX). The throttle setting is a crucial performance tool, allowing you to balance precision with script speed.
⚡ Field Fusion • Weights: This is where you can customize the model's "brain." Increase the weights for the kernels that best align with your trading philosophy (e.g., w_hurst for trend followers, w_fdi for chop avoiders).
📊 Signal Engine: Mode offers presets from Conservative to Aggressive . Min Confluence sets your evidence threshold. Dynamic Confluence is a powerful feature that automatically adapts this threshold to the market regime.
🎨 Visuals & 📏 Support/Resistance: These inputs give you full control over the chart's appearance, allowing you to toggle every visual element for a setup that is as clean or as data-rich as you desire.
Chapter 5: Reading the Battlefield - On-Chart Visuals
Pattern Boxes (The Large Rectangles): These are not simple range boxes. They appear when the Field Score crosses a significance threshold, signaling a potential ignition point.
Color: The color reflects the dominant candlestick pattern that has occurred within that box's duration (e.g., green for Bull Engulf).
Label: Displays the dominant pattern, its duration in bars, and a calculated Confidence % based on field strength and pattern clarity.
Bar Pattern Boxes (The Small Boxes): If enabled, these highlight individual, significant candlestick patterns ( BE for Bull Engulf, H for Hammer) on a bar-by-bar basis.
Signal Markers (▲ and ▼): These appear only when the Signal Engine's criteria are all met. The number is the calculated Probability Score .
RR Rails (Dashed Lines): When a signal appears, these lines automatically plot the Entry, Stop Loss (based on ATR), and two Take Profit targets (based on Risk/Reward ratios). They dynamically break and disappear as price touches each level.
Support & Resistance Lines: Plots of the highest high ( Resistance ) and lowest low ( Support ) over a lookback, providing key structural levels.
Chapter 6: Development Philosophy & A Final Word
One single question: " What is the market really doing? " It represents a triumph of complexity, blending concepts from signal processing, chaos theory, and information theory into a cohesive framework. It is offered for educational and analytical purposes and does not constitute financial advice. Its goal is to elevate your analysis from interpreting flat shadows to measuring the rich, geometric reality of the market's information field.
As the great mathematician Benoit Mandelbrot , father of fractal geometry, noted:
"Clouds are not spheres, mountains are not cones, coastlines are not circles, and bark is not smooth, nor does lightning travel in a straight line."
Neither does the market. IGMD is a tool designed to navigate that beautiful, complex, and fractal reality.

SMI Base-Trigger Bullish Re-acceleration (Higher High)Description
What it does
This indicator highlights a two-step bullish pattern using Stochastic Momentum Index (SMI) plus an ATR distance filter:
1. Base (orange) – Marks a momentum “reset.” A base prints when SMI %K crosses up through %D while %K is below the Base level (default -70). The base stores the base price and starts a waiting window.
2. Trigger (green) – Confirms momentum and price strength. A trigger prints only if, before the timeout window ends:
• SMI %K crosses up through %D again,
• %K is above the Trigger level (default -60),
• Close > Base Price, and
• Price has advanced at least Min ATR multiple (default 1.0× the 14-period ATR) above the base price.
A dashed green line connects the base to the trigger.
Why it’s useful
It seeks a bullish divergence / reacceleration: momentum recovers from deeply negative territory, then price reclaims and exceeds the base by a volatility-aware margin. This helps filter out weak “oversold bounces.”
Signals
• Base ▲ (orange): Potential setup begins.
• Trigger ▲ (green): Confirmation—momentum and price agree.
Inputs (key ones)
• %K Length / EMA Smoothing / %D Length: SMI construction.
• Base when %K < (default -70): depth required for a valid reset.
• Trigger when %K > (default -60): strength required on confirmation.
• Base timeout (days) (default 100): maximum look-ahead window.
• ATR Length (default 14) and Min ATR multiple (default 1.0): price must exceed the base by this ATR-scaled distance.
How traders use it (example rules)
• Entry: On the Trigger.
• Risk: A common approach is a stop somewhere between the base price and a multiple of ATR below trigger; or use your system’s volatility stop.
• Exits: Your choice—trend MA cross, fixed R multiple, or structure-based levels.
Notes & tips
• Works best on liquid symbols and mid-to-higher timeframes (reduce noise).
• Increase Min ATR multiple to demand stronger price confirmation; tighten or widen Base/Trigger levels to fit your market.
• This script plots signals only; convert to a strategy to backtest entries/exits.
Adaptive Correlation Engine (ACE)🧠 Adaptive Correlation Engine (ACE)
Quantify inter-asset relationships with adaptive lag detection and actionable insights.
📌 What is ACE?
The Adaptive Correlation Engine (ACE) is a precision tool for seeking to uncover meaningful relationships between two assets — not just raw correlation, but also lag dynamics, leader detection, and alignment vs. divergence classification.
Unlike static correlation tools, ACE intelligently scans multiple lag windows to find:
✅ The maximum correlation between the base asset and a comparison symbol
⏱️ The optimal lag (if any) at which the correlation is strongest
🧭 Whether the assets are Aligned (positive correlation) or Divergent (inverse)
🔁 Which symbol is leading, and by how many bars
📈 Actionable signal strength based on a user-defined correlation threshold
⚙️ How It Works
Correlation Scan:
For each bar, ACE checks the correlation between the charted asset (close) and a lagged version of the comparison asset across a sliding window of lookback periods.
Lag Optimization:
The engine searches from lag 0 up to your specified Max Lag to find where the correlation (positive or negative) is most significant.
Relationship Classification:
The indicator classifies the relationship as:
Aligned: Positive correlation above the threshold
Divergent: Negative correlation above the threshold
Synchronous: No lag detected
Low Signal: Correlation is weak or noisy
Visual & Tabular Insights:
ACE plots the highest detected correlation on the chart and shows an insight table displaying:
- Correlation value
- Detected lag
- Direction type (aligned/divergent)
- Leading asset
- Suggested action (e.g., “Likely continuation” or “Possible mean reversion”)
💡 How to Use It
Use ACE to identify leadership patterns between assets (e.g., ETH leads altcoins, SPX leads crypto, etc.)
Spot potential lagging trade setups where one asset’s move may soon echo in another
Confirm or challenge correlation-based trading assumptions with data
Combine with technical indicators or price action to time entries and exits more confidently
🔔 Alerts
Built-in alerts notify you when correlation strength crosses your actionable threshold, classified by alignment or divergence.
🛠️ Inputs
Compare Symbol: The asset to compare against (e.g., INDEX:ETHUSD)
Correlation Lookback: Rolling window for calculating correlation
Max Lag Bars: Maximum lag shift to test
Minimum Actionable Correlation: Signal threshold for trade-worthy insights

Adaptive Weighted Regression Channel (AWRC)Short Description:
The Adaptive Weighted Regression Channel (AWRC) is an advanced technical analysis tool that plots a dynamic regression channel based on the recent price action. The centerline is a linear regression (trendline) fitted to the selected price source over a rolling window. The channel boundaries are placed above and below the regression line by a user-selected multiple of the weighted standard deviation.
What makes AWRC unique is its ability to optionally weight each bar’s importance in the regression using Volume, ATR (Average True Range), or Recency Decay, offering a channel that can adapt to market volatility, participation, or trend acceleration.
Parameter Explanations:
length: Number of bars for the regression window (how many recent candles are included). Higher values = smoother, less sensitive channel.
StdDev Multiplier (mult): Controls the channel width. 2.0 is classic; higher = wider channels, lower = tighter.
Enable Weighting?: Turn ON to activate weighting of each bar. If OFF, all bars are equally weighted (classic regression channel).
Weight Type: Select what to use for weights (only active if Enable Weighting is ON):
"Volume": Higher volume bars have more influence on the regression.
"ATR": Bars with higher volatility (as measured by ATR) have more influence.
"Decay": More recent bars are given more weight (controlled by Decay parameter).
Decay: If Weight Type is "Decay", this controls the rate of recency decay. (e.g. 0.98 = slow decay; 0.90 = fast decay; values close to 1 mean a longer memory.)
Source for the calculation (src): Selects which price is regressed. Default is hl2 (average of high and low); you can choose close, open, etc.
Recommended Parameters:
For general use: length = 34, mult = 2.0, Enable Weighting = OFF, src = hl2
For volume-aware channel: Enable Weighting = ON, Weight Type = "Volume"
For volatility sensitivity: Enable Weighting = ON, Weight Type = "ATR"
For extra focus on recent price: Enable Weighting = ON, Weight Type = "Decay", Decay = 0.95 or 0.98
For swing trading: length = 21–55, mult = 1.5–2.5
For intraday/scalping: length = 10–20, mult = 1.0–1.5
Usage Tips:
The regression line shows the "best fit" trend for the selected window.
The channel captures the typical range; price breaking outside the channel can signal strength, exhaustion, or breakout.
Volume and ATR weighting help the channel adapt to market participation or volatility spikes.
Decay weighting locks onto the most recent trend direction quickly.
Adjust parameters to fit your timeframe and market volatility.
Use AWRC to spot trending moves, reversals, or overextensions.
Try different weighting and channel settings to match your trading style!

z-score-calkusi-v1.143z-scores incorporate the moment of N look-back bars to allow future price projection.
z-score = (X - mean)/std.deviation ; X = close
z-scores update with each new close print and with each new bar. Each new bar augments the mean and std.deviation for the N bars considered. The old Nth bar falls away from consideration with each new historical bar.
The indicator allows two other options for X: RSI or Moving Average.
NOTE: While trading use the "price" option only.
The other two options are provided for visualisation of RSI and Moving Average as z-score curves.
Use z-scores to identify tops and bottoms in the future as well as intermediate intersections through which a z-score will pass through with each new close and each new bar.
Draw lines from peaks and troughs in the past through intermediate peaks and troughs to identify projected intersections in the future. The most likely intersections are those that are formed from a line that comes from a peak in the past and another line that comes from a trough in the past. Try getting at least two lines from historical peaks and two lines from historical troughs to pass through a future intersection.
Compute the target intersection price in the future by clicking on the z-score indicator header to see a drag-able horizontal line to drag over the intersection. The target price is the last value displayed in the indicator's status bar after the closing price.
When the indicator header is clicked, a white horizontal drag-able line will appear to allow dragging the line over an intersection that has been drawn on the indicator for a future z-score projection and the associated future closing price.
With each new bar that appears, it is necessary to repeat the procedure of clicking the z-score indicator header to be able to drag the drag-able horizontal line to see the new target price for the selected intersection. The projected price will be different from the current close price providing a price arbitrage in time.
New intermediate peaks and troughs that appear require new lines be drawn from the past through the new intermediate peak to find a new intersection in the future and a new projected price. Since z-score curves are sort of cyclical in nature, it is possible to see where one has to locate a future intersection by drawing lines from past peaks and troughs.
Do not get fixated on any one projected price as the market decides which projected price will be realised. All prospective targets should be manually updated with each new bar.
When the z-score plot moves outside a channel comprised of lines that are drawn from the past, be ready to adjust to new market conditions.
z-score plots that move above the zero line indicate price action that is either rising or ranging. Similarly, z-score plots that move below the zero line indicate price action that is either falling or ranging. Be ready to adjust to new market conditions when z-scores move back and forth across the zero line.
A bar with highest absolute z-score for a cycle screams "reversal approaching" and is followed by a bar with a lower absolute z-score where close price tops and bottoms are realised. This can occur either on the next bar or a few bars later.
The indicator also displays the required N for a Normal(0,1) distribution that can be set for finer granularity for the z-score curve.This works with the Confidence Interval (CI) z-score setting. The default z-score is 1.96 for 95% CI.
Common Confidence Interval z-scores to find N for Normal(0,1) with a Margin of Error (MOE) of 1:
70% 1.036
75% 1.150
80% 1.282
85% 1.440
90% 1.645
95% 1.960
98% 2.326
99% 2.576
99.5% 2.807
99.9% 3.291
99.99% 3.891
99.999% 4.417

Added a feature to display price projection labels at z-score levels 3, 2, 1, 0, -1, -2, 3.
This provides a range for prices available at the current time to help decide whether it is worth entering a trade. If the range of prices from say z=|2| to z=|1| is too narrow, then a trade at the current time may not be worth the risk.
Added plot for z-score moving average.

Added Settings option for # of Std.Deviation level Price Labels to display. The default is 3. Min is 2. Max is 6.
This feature allows likelihood assessment for Fibonacci price projections from higher time frames at lower time frames. A Fibonacci price projection that falls outside |3.x| Std.Deviations is not likely.
Added Settings option for Chart Bar Count and Target Label Offset to allow placement of price labels for the standard z-score levels to the right of the window so that these are still visible in the window.
Target Label Offset allows adjustment of placement of Target Price Label in cases when the Target Price Label is either obscured by the price labels for the standard z-score levels or is too far right to be visible in the window.

z-score 1.142 updates:
Displays in the status line before the close price the range for the selected Std. Deviation levels specified in Settings and |z-zMa|.
When |z-zMa| > |avg(z-zMa)| and zMa rising, |z-zMa| and zMa displays in aqua.
When |z-zMa| > |avg(z-zMa)| and zMa falling, |z-zMa| and zMa displays in red.
When |z-zMa| <= |avg(z-zMa)|, z and zMa display in gray.
z usually crosses over zMa when zMa is gray but not always. So if cross-over occurs when zMa is not gray, it implies a strong move in progress.
Practice makes perfect.

True Hour Open🧠 Why Count an Hour from 30th Minute to 30th Minute?
✅ Traditional Hour vs. Functional Hour
Traditional Time Logic: We’re used to viewing time in clean hourly chunks: 12:00 to 1:00, 1:00 to 2:00, and so on. This structure is fine for general purposes like clocks, meetings, and schedules.
Market Logic: Markets, however, don’t always respect these arbitrary human-made time divisions. Price action often develops momentum, structure, and transitions based on market participants' behavior, not on the clock.
🛠 What the Indicator Does
Marks the start of each hour at the 30th minute past the hour (e.g., 1:30, 2:30, 3:30).
Can highlight or segment candles that fall within a “30-to-30” hourly window.
Optionally draws background shading, lines, or boxes to visually group candles from one 30-minute mark to the next.
This helps you:
Visually align your trading with more accurate price behavior windows.
Anchor time blocks around actual market rhythm, not artificial time slots.
Backtest and strategize based on how candles behave in these alternative hourly segments.
📈 Summary
Trading is about timing. But great trading is about timing that makes sense.
By redefining the hour from 30 to 30, you’re not changing time—you’re aligning with how price moves in time.
