RSI Cloud v1.0 [PriceBlance] RSI Cloud v1.0 — Ichimoku-style Cloud on RSI(14), not on price.
Recalibrated baselines: EMA9 (Tenkan) for speed, WMA45 (Kijun) for stability.
Plus ADX-on-RSI to grade strength so you know when momentum persists or fades.
1. Introduction
RSI Cloud v1.0 applies an Ichimoku Cloud directly on RSI(14) to reveal momentum regimes earlier and cleaner than price-based views. We replaced Tenkan with EMA9 (faster, more responsive) and Kijun with WMA45 (slower, more stable) to fit a bounded oscillator (0–100). Forward spans (+26) and a lagging line (−26) provide a clear framework for trend bias and transitions.
To qualify signals, the indicator adds ADX computed on RSI—highlighting whether strength is weak, strong, or very strong, so you can decide when to follow, fade, or stand aside.
2. Core Mapping (Hook + Bullets)
At a glance: Ichimoku on RSI(14) with recalibrated baselines for a bounded oscillator.
Source: RSI(14)
Tenkan → EMA9(RSI) (fast, responsive)
Kijun → WMA45(RSI) (slow, stable)
Span A: classic Ichimoku midline, displaced +26
Span B: classic Ichimoku baseline, displaced +26
Lagging line: RSI shifted −26
3. Key Benefits (Why traders care)
Momentum regimes on RSI: position vs. Cloud = bull / bear / transition at a glance.
Cleaner confirmations: EMA9/WMA45 pairing cuts noise vs. raw 30/70 flips.
Earlier warnings: Cloud breaks on RSI often lead price-based confirmations.
4. ADX on RSI (Enhanced Strength Normalization)
Grade strength inside the RSI domain using ADX from ΔRSI:
ADX ≤ 20 → Weak (transparency = 60)
ADX ≤ 40 → Strong (transparency = 15)
ADX > 40 → Very strong (transparency = 0)
Use these tiers to decide when to trust, fade, or ignore a signal.
5. How to Read (Quick rules)
Bias / Regime
Bullish: RSI above Cloud and RSI > WMA45
Bearish: RSI below Cloud and RSI < WMA45
Neutral / Transition: all other cases
6. Settings (Copy & use)
RSI Length: 14 (default)
Tenkan: EMA9 on RSI · Kijun: WMA45 on RSI
Displacement: +26 (Span A/B) · −26 (Lagging)
Theme: PriceBlance Dark/Light

Auto Fib Extension Targets A-B-C MartenBGAuto Fib Extension Targets A-B-C is a Pine v6 indicator that projects Fibonacci extension targets from the most recent validated A-B-C swing. It works in both directions and is designed for trend continuation planning and take-profit placement.
How it works:
Detects pivots with user-defined left and right bars.
Builds bullish swings from L-H-L and bearish swings from H-L-H.
Validates C by a retracement filter (min to max, relative to AB) and an optional HL or LH condition.
Projects targets from point C using C + r*(B − A) for uptrends and C − r*(A − B) for downtrends.
Draws levels 1.000, 1.272, 1.382, 1.618, optional 2.000, plus an optional 1.272-1.382 target zone.
Optionally shows dotted A-B and B-C segments for quick visual context.
Key settings:
Pivot sensitivity: leftBars and rightBars.
Correction validation: minRetr and maxRetr, HL or LH requirement toggle.
Level visibility: enable or disable each ratio and the target zone.
Extension length: horizontal extension in bars.
Visuals: toggle A-B-C segment display.
Why use it:
Fast projection of realistic continuation targets.
Clear confluence when extensions align with prior highs, liquidity pools, or S/R.
Works on any symbol and timeframe once pivots are confirmed.
Notes:
Pivots confirm after rightBars bars, so targets appear only once a swing is confirmed. This reduces repaint-like behavior typical for unfinished pivots.
No alerts are included by design. If you want alerts or manual A-B-C locking and click-to-select anchors, ask and I will add them.

Ichimoku Cloud Indicator [TradingFinder] Kinko Hyo Cross Alerts🔵 Introduction
The Ichimoku Cloud (Ichimoku Kinko Hyo) is one of the most powerful and complete trading indicators in technical analysis. Originally developed by Japanese journalist Goichi Hosoda, the Ichimoku system combines multiple tools in one indicator, providing traders with instant insights into trend direction, support and resistance levels, and momentum. Unlike simple moving averages (SMA – Simple Moving Average), the Ichimoku Cloud (Kumo – Cloud) integrates dynamic elements that help traders forecast potential price action with greater clarity.
The Ichimoku Indicator (Ichimoku Signal System) is widely used across global markets, from Forex trading (FX – Foreign Exchange) to stocks, indices, and even cryptocurrencies. Its popularity comes from its ability to generate clear buy signals and sell signals based on the interaction of its components: Tenkan Sen (Conversion Line), Kijun Sen (Base Line), Senkou Span A, Senkou Span B, and Chikou Span (Lagging Line). When combined, these lines create the Ichimoku Cloud, which visually represents the balance between price action and market structure.
Ichimoku Cloud Lines Formulas :
Conversion Line (Tenkan Sen / Conversion Line) : Average of the highest high and lowest low over the past 9 periods => (9-PH + 9-PL) ÷ 2
Base Line (Kijun Sen / Base Line) : Average of the highest high and lowest low over the past 26 periods => (26-PH + 26-PL) ÷ 2
Leading Span A (Senkou Span A / Leading Span A) : Average of the Conversion Line and Base Line, plotted 26 periods ahead => (Tenkan Sen + Kijun Sen) ÷ 2
Leading Span B (Senkou Span B / Leading Span B) : Average of the highest high and lowest low over the past 52 periods, plotted 26 periods ahead => (52-PH + 52-PL) ÷ 2
Lagging Span (Chikou Span / Lagging Span) : Current closing price, plotted 26 periods behind.
One of the biggest advantages of the Ichimoku Trading Strategy (Ichimoku Cloud Trading System) is that it allows traders to identify the market condition at a glance. When the price is above the Kumo (Cloud), it indicates a bullish trend (uptrend). When the price is below the Kumo, the market is in a bearish trend (downtrend). And when the price is inside the cloud, the market is ranging (sideways trend). This simplicity and visual clarity make Ichimoku an essential indicator for both beginner traders and professional analysts.
The Ichimoku Cloud Indicator (Ichimoku Technical Analysis Tool) continues to be one of the most reliable charting methods. Traders often consider it superior to basic moving averages (MA – Moving Average) or exponential moving averages (EMA – Exponential Moving Average), because it not only shows trend direction but also highlights potential future support and resistance levels. With its unique combination of trend analysis, price forecasting, and trading signals, Ichimoku remains a core strategy in modern trading systems.
🔵 How to Use
The Ichimoku Cloud is more than just a set of lines; it’s a complete trading system that helps traders identify trends, momentum, and key support and resistance levels. By combining its five lines Conversion Line, Base Line, Leading Span A, Leading Span B, and Lagging Span traders can develop clear buy and sell strategies.
🟣 Identifying Trend Direction
Bullish Trend (Uptrend) : Price is above the cloud (Kumo), and the cloud is green. Leading Span A is above Leading Span B, signaling strong upward momentum.
Bearish Trend (Downtrend) : Price is below the cloud, and the cloud is red. Leading Span A is below Leading Span B, confirming a downward momentum.
Ranging / Sideways Market : Price is inside the cloud, indicating indecision and consolidation. Traders often avoid opening strong positions during these periods.
🟣 Buy Strategies
Conversion/Base Line Crossover : A buy signal occurs when the Conversion Line (Tenkan Sen) crosses above the Base Line (Kijun Sen). The signal is strongest when this crossover happens above the cloud.
Price Above Base Line : If the price moves above the Base Line while in an uptrend, it confirms bullish momentum and provides a favorable entry point.
Cloud Support Pullback : During a pullback in an uptrend, the price may touch or slightly enter the cloud. Traders can use the cloud as a dynamic support zone for buying opportunities.
Lagging Span Confirmation : Ensure the Lagging Span (Chikou Span) is above the price of 26 periods ago to confirm the strength of the bullish trend.
🟣 Sell Strategies
Conversion/Base Line Crossover : A sell signal is generated when the Conversion Line (Tenkan Sen) crosses below the Base Line (Kijun Sen). This signal is strongest when it occurs below the cloud.
Price Below Base Line : If the price falls below the Base Line in a downtrend, it confirms bearish momentum and strengthens the sell setup.
Cloud Resistance Pullback : During a bounce in a downtrend, the cloud acts as a resistance zone. Traders can enter sell positions when price approaches or touches the cloud from below.
Lagging Span Confirmation : The Lagging Span should be below the price of 26 periods ago, confirming downward momentum.
🟣 Cloud Breakout Signals
A strong buy occurs when the price breaks above the cloud from below, signaling a potential trend reversal.
A strong sell occurs when the price breaks below the cloud from above, indicating a shift toward a bearish trend.
🟣 Combining Signals for Stronger Entries
For higher probability trades, combine multiple signals : trend direction (cloud color and position), crossovers (Tenkan/Kijun), and Lagging Span position.
Avoid trading against the overall trend. For example, avoid buying when price is below a red cloud or selling when price is above a green cloud.
🔵 Setting
Tenkan Sen Period : Lookback period for Conversion Line (default: 9).
Kijun Sen Period : Lookback period for Base Line (default: 26).
Span B Period : Lookback period for Leading Span B, forms one Cloud boundary (default: 52).
Shift Lines : Periods forward for Cloud / backward for Lagging Span (default: 26).
Cross Tenkan/Kijun Alert : Alert on Conversion/Base Line crossover.
Cross Price/Tenkan Alert : Alert when price crosses Tenkan Sen.
Cross Price/Kijun Alert : Alert when price crosses Kijun Sen
🔵 Conclusion
The Ichimoku Cloud (Ichimoku Kinko Hyo) is much more than a simple indicator it is a complete trading system that combines trend detection, momentum analysis, and support/resistance identification in one view. By interpreting the position of price relative to the cloud, the interaction between Tenkan Sen (Conversion Line) and Kijun Sen (Base Line), the leading spans (Senkou Span A and B), and the Chikou Span (Lagging Line), traders can identify potential buy and sell opportunities with higher confidence.
The main advantage of the Ichimoku Cloud is its ability to provide a “one-look equilibrium” snapshot of the market. It highlights bullish trends when the price is above the cloud, bearish conditions when the price is below it, and indecision or transition when the price is inside the cloud. Crossovers, cloud breakouts, and confirmations by the Chikou Span strengthen the trading signals.
However, traders should keep in mind the limitations of the Ichimoku system. It is based on historical data and should not be used in isolation. Combining it with other tools such as RSI, volume analysis, or candlestick patterns can significantly improve accuracy and reduce false signals.

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

More Dynamic than Traditional Pivots
RSI Trendlines and Divergences█OVERVIEW
The "RSI Trendlines and Divergences" indicator is an advanced technical analysis tool that leverages the Relative Strength Index (RSI) to draw trendlines and detect divergences. Designed for traders seeking precise market signals, the indicator identifies key pivot points on the RSI chart, draws trendlines between pivots, and detects bullish and bearish divergences. It offers flexible settings, background coloring for breakout signals, and divergence labels, supported by alerts for key events. The indicator is universal and works across all markets (stocks, forex, cryptocurrencies) and timeframes.
█CONCEPTS
The indicator was developed to provide an alternative signal source for the RSI oscillator. Trendline breakouts and bounces off trendlines offer a broader perspective on potential price behavior. Combining these with traditional RSI signal interpretation can serve as a foundation for creating various trading strategies.
█FEATURES
- RSI and Pivot Calculation: Calculates RSI based on the selected source price (default: close) with a customizable period (default: 14). Identifies pivot points on RSI and price for trendlines and divergences.
- RSI Trendlines: Draws trendlines connecting RSI pivots (upper for downtrends, lower for uptrends) with optional extension (default: 30 bars). The trendline appears and generates a signal only after the first RSI crossover. Lines are colored (red for upper, green for lower).
- Trendline Fill: Widens the trendline with a tolerance margin expressed in RSI points, reducing signal noise and visually highlighting trend zones. Breaking this zone is a condition for generating signals, minimizing false signals. The tolerance margin can be increased or decreased.
- Divergence Detection: Identifies bullish and bearish divergences based on RSI and price pivots, displaying labels (“Bull” for bullish, “Bear” for bearish) with adjustable transparency. Divergence labels appear with a delay equal to the specified pivot length (default: 5). Higher values yield stronger signals but with greater delay.
- Breakout Signals: Generates signals when RSI crosses the trendline (bullish for upper lines, bearish for lower lines), with background coloring for signal confirmation.
- Alerts: Built-in alerts for:
Detection of bullish and bearish divergences.
Upper trendline crossover (bullish signal).
Lower trendline crossover (bearish signal).
- Customization: Allows adjustment of RSI length, pivot settings, line colors, fills, labels, and transparency of signals and background.
█HOW TO USE
Add the indicator to your TradingView chart via the Pine Editor or Indicators menu.
Configuring Settings.
RSI Settings
- RSI Length: Period for RSI calculation (default: 14).
- SMA Length: Period for RSI moving average (default: 9).
- Source: Source price for RSI (default: close).
Pivot Settings for Trend
- Left Bars for Pivot: Number of bars back for detecting pivots (default: 10).
- Right Bars for Pivot: Number of bars forward for confirming pivots (default: 10).
- Extension after Second Pivot: Number of bars to extend the trendline (default: 30, 0 = none). Extension increases the number of signals, while shortening reduces them.
- Tolerance: Deviation in RSI points to widen the breakout margin, reducing signal noise (default: 3.0).
Divergence Settings
- Enable Divergence Detection: Enables/disables divergence detection (default: enabled).
- Pivot Length for Divergence: Pivot period for divergences (default: 5).
Style Settings
- Upper Trendline Color: Color for downtrend lines (default: red).
- Upper Fill Color: Fill color for upper lines (default: red, transparency 70).
- Lower Trendline Color: Color for uptrend lines (default: green).
- Lower Fill Color: Fill color for lower lines (default: green, transparency 70).
- SMA Color: Color for RSI moving average (default: yellow).
- Bullish Divergence Color: Color for bullish labels (default: green).
- Bearish Divergence Color: Color for bearish labels (default: red).
- Text Color: Color for label text (default: white).
- Divergence Label Transparency: Transparency of labels (0-100, default: 40).
- Signal Background Transparency: Transparency of breakout signal background (0-100, default: 80).
Interpreting Signals
- Trendlines: Upper lines (red) indicate RSI downtrends, lower lines (green) indicate uptrends. The trendline appears and generates a signal only after the first RSI crossover. Trendline breakouts suggest potential trend reversals.
- Divergences: “Bull” labels indicate bullish divergence (potential rise), “Bear” labels indicate bearish divergence (potential decline), with a delay based on pivot length (default: 5). Divergences serve as confirmation or warning of trend reversal, not as standalone signals.
- Signal Background: Green background signals bullish breakouts, red background signals bearish breakouts.
- RSI Levels: Horizontal lines at 70 (overbought), 50 (midline), and 30 (oversold) help assess market zones.
- Alerts: Set up alerts in TradingView for divergences or trendline breakouts.
Combining with Other Tools: Use with support/resistance levels, Fibonacci levels, or other indicators for signal confirmation.
█APPLICATIONS
The "RSI Trendlines and Divergence" indicator is designed to identify trends and potential reversal points, supporting both trend-following and reversal strategies:
- Trend Confirmation: Trendlines indicate the RSI trend direction, with breakouts signaling potential reversals. The indicator is functional in traditional RSI usage, allowing classic RSI interpretation (e.g., returning from overbought/oversold zones). Combining trendline breakouts with RSI signal levels, such as a return from overbought or oversold zones paired with a trendline breakout, strengthens the signal.
- Divergence Detection: Divergences serve as confirmation or warning of trend reversal, not as standalone signals.
█NOTES
- Adjust settings (e.g., RSI length, pivots, tolerance) to suit your trading style and timeframe.
- Combine with other technical analysis tools to enhance signal accuracy.
Atlantean Sideways / Range Regime DetectorPurpose
When using trend based indicators, you can skip the false signals when there is a sideways action, protecting you from the false signals.
Flags likely sideways/range phases using three checks:
Weak trend (ADX from DMI)
Price compression (Bollinger Band Width, normalized)
Low volatility (NATR = ATR/Price%)
Logic
isSideways = (ADX < adxThresh) AND (bbNorm < 0.25) AND (NATR < natrMax)
When true: bars + background turn teal and a provisional Range High/Low (rolling rangeWin) is drawn.
Key Inputs
DMI: diLen(22)
Optimized for 15 mins Bitcoin, could change it to 14 for more general approach
ADX: adxSmooth(14), adxThresh(18)
Volatility: lenATR(14), natrMax(1.8)
Visuals: rangeWin(20), bar/range toggles
Quick Tuning
More signals: raise adxThresh to 20–25, raise natrMax to 2.5–4.0, increase BB cutoff by editing bbNorm < 0.25 --> 0.35–0.50.
Smoother range lines: increase rangeWin to 30–40.
Use Cases
Mean reversion inside teal ranges.
Breakout prep when price closes outside the drawn range after teal ends. Could be used as a signal although not suggested.
Filter trend systems: skip trades when sidewaysCond is true. This is the main purpose, for it to be combined with trend based indicators, like Supertrend.
Alert
“Sideways Detected” triggers when isSideways is true.
Script could be expanded upon your requests.
EMA Crossoverx + ADX [Jamir] (Indicator)This indicator will avoid the signals during low volatility and will show the signals only when there is a volatility. Helps you to take profitable trades only and avoids noise. This script works good on 5 mins and 15 mins time frame.
Actually Engulfing CandlesticksThis thing attempts to find price reversals with actually engulfing candlesticks with volume spikes and RSI values as confirmation. It works well on mean reverting assets I guess.
Green dots below bars = bullish reversal
Fuchsia dots above bars = bearish reversal
Have fun!

Bullish candle: Close > Open AND Close > Close
Bearish candle: Close < Open AND Close < Close
Win Rate (%)
Formula:
Win Rate = (Winning Trades ÷ Total Trades) × 100
* Average Trade P&L
Formula:
Avg Trade = Net Profit ÷ Total Trades
📊 Performance Notes
The Universal Breakout Strategy is designed as a framework rather than a single-asset optimized system. Results will vary depending on the chart, timeframe, and asset chosen.
On the current defaults (15-minute, INR-denominated example), the backtest produced 132 trades over the selected period. This provides a statistically sufficient sample size.
Win rate (~35%) is relatively low, but this is balanced by a positive reward-to-risk ratio (~1.8). In practice, a lower win rate with larger wins versus smaller losses is sustainable.
The average P&L per trade is close to breakeven under default settings. This is expected, as the strategy is not tuned for a single symbol but offered as a universal breakout framework.
Commissions (0.1%) and slippage (1 tick) are included in the simulation, ensuring realistic conditions.
Risk management is conservative, with order sizing set at 1 unit per trade. This avoids over-leveraging and keeps exposure well under the 5-10% equity risk guideline.
👉 Traders are encouraged to:
Experiment with inputs such as ATR period, breakout length, or Bollinger parameters.
Test across different timeframes and instruments (equities, futures, forex, crypto) to find optimal setups.
Combine with filters (trend direction, volatility regimes, or volume conditions) for further refinement.

ICT Venom Trading Model [TradingFinder] SMC NY Session 2025SetupIntroduction
The ICT Venom Model is one of the most advanced strategies in the ICT framework, designed for intraday trading on major US indices such as US100, US30, and US500. This model is rooted in liquidity theory, time and price dynamics, and institutional order flow.
The Venom Model focuses on detecting Liquidity Sweeps, identifying Fair Value Gaps (FVG), and analyzing Market Structure Shifts (MSS). By combining these ICT core concepts, traders can filter false breakouts, capture sharp reversals, and align their entries with the real institutional liquidity flow during the New York Session.
Key Highlights of ICT Venom Model :
Intraday focus : Optimized for US indices (US100, US30, US500).
Time element : Critical window is 08:00–09:30 AM (Venom Box).
Liquidity sweep logic : Price grabs liquidity at 09:30 AM open.
Confirmation tools : MSS, CISD, FVG, and Order Blocks.
Dual setups : Works in both Bullish Venom and Bearish Venom conditions.
At its core, the ICT Venom Strategy is a framework that explains how institutional players manipulate liquidity pools by engineering false breakouts around the initial range of the market. Between 08:00 and 09:30 AM New York time, a range called the “Venom Box” is formed.
This range acts as a trap for retail traders, and once the 09:30 AM market open occurs, price usually sweeps either the high or the low of this box to collect stop-loss liquidity. After this liquidity grab, the market often reverses sharply, giving birth to a classic Bullish Venom Setup or Bearish Venom Setup
The Venom Model (ICT Venom Trading Strategy) is not just a pattern recognition tool but a precise institutional trading model based on time, liquidity, and market structure. By understanding the Initial Balance Range, watching for Liquidity Sweeps, and entering trades from FVG zones or Order Blocks, traders can anticipate market reversals with high accuracy. This strategy is widely respected among ICT followers because it offers both risk management discipline and clear entry/exit conditions. In short, the Venom Model transforms liquidity manipulation into actionable trading opportunities.
Bullish Setup :
Bearish Setup :
🔵 How to Use
The ICT Venom Model is applied by observing price behavior during the early hours of the New York session. The first step is to define the Initial Range, also called the Venom Box, which is formed between 08:00 and 09:30 AM EST. This range marks the high and low points where institutional traders often create traps for retail participants. Once the official market opens at 09:30 AM, price usually sweeps either the top or bottom of this box to collect liquidity.
After this liquidity grab, the market tends to reverse in alignment with the true directional bias. To confirm the setup, traders look for signals such as a Market Structure Shift (MSS), Change in State of Delivery (CISD), or the appearance of a Fair Value Gap (FVG). These elements validate the reversal and provide precise levels for trade execution.
🟣 Bullish Setup
In a Bullish Venom Setup, the market first sweeps the low of the Venom Box after 09:30 AM, triggering sell-side liquidity collection. This downward move is often sharp and deceptive, designed to stop out retail long positions and attract new sellers. Once liquidity is taken, the market typically shifts direction, forming an MSS or CISD that signals a reversal to the upside.
Traders then wait for price to retrace into a Fair Value Gap or a demand-side Order Block created during the reversal leg. This retracement offers the ideal entry point for long positions. Stop-loss placement should be just below the liquidity sweep low, while profit targets are set at the Venom Box high and, if momentum continues, at higher session or daily highs.
🟣 Bearish Setup
In a Bearish Venom Setup, the process is similar but reversed. After the Initial Range is defined, if price breaks above the Venom Box high following the 09:30 AM open, it signals a false breakout designed to collect buy-side liquidity. This move usually traps eager buyers and clears out stop-losses above the high.
After the liquidity sweep, confirmation comes through an MSS or CISD pointing to a reversal downward. At this stage, traders anticipate a retracement into a Fair Value Gap or a supply-side Order Block formed during the reversal. Short entries are taken within this zone, with stop-loss positioned just above the liquidity sweep high. The logical profit targets include the Venom Box low and, in stronger bearish momentum, deeper session or daily lows.
🔵 Settings
Refine Order Block : Enables finer adjustments to Order Block levels for more accurate price responses.
Mitigation Level OB : Allows users to set specific reaction points within an Order Block, including: Proximal: Closest level to the current price. 50% OB: Midpoint of the Order Block. Distal: Farthest level from the current price.
FVG Filter : The Judas Swing indicator includes a filter for Fair Value Gap (FVG), allowing different filtering based on FVG width: FVG Filter Type: Can be set to "Very Aggressive," "Aggressive," "Defensive," or "Very Defensive." Higher defensiveness narrows the FVG width, focusing on narrower gaps.
Mitigation Level FVG : Like the Order Block, you can set price reaction levels for FVG with options such as Proximal, 50% OB, and Distal.
CISD : The Bar Back Check option enables traders to specify the number of past candles checked for identifying the CISD Level, enhancing CISD Level accuracy on the chart.
🔵 Conclusion
The ICT Venom Model is more than just a reversal setup; it is a complete intraday trading framework that blends liquidity theory, time precision, and market structure analysis. By focusing on the Initial Range between 08:00 and 09:30 AM New York time and observing how price reacts at the 09:30 AM open, traders can identify liquidity sweeps that reveal institutional intentions.
Whether in a Bullish Venom Setup or a Bearish Venom Setup, the model allows for precise entries through Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) and Order Blocks, while maintaining clear risk management with well-defined stop-loss and target levels.
Ultimately, the ICT Venom Model provides traders with a structured way to filter false moves and align their trades with institutional order flow. Its strength lies in transforming liquidity manipulation into actionable opportunities, giving intraday traders an edge in timing, accuracy, and consistency. For those who master its logic, the Venom Model becomes not only a strategy for entry and exit, but also a deeper framework for understanding how liquidity truly drives price in the New York session.
Power Hour Breakout Signals [LuxAlgo]The Power Hour Breakout tool helps traders identify key price levels from the Power Hour and spot breakouts from those levels easily. This tool features Power Hour extensions, Fibonacci levels, and session break marks for the trader's convenience.
🔶 USAGE
The Power Hour is defined as the last hour of the trading session and is set by default from 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. New York time. During this period, volume and volatility enter the market. Traders using higher timeframes may use this period to enter or exit positions by placing MOC (Market on Close) orders.
This tool highlights the Power Hour and the top and bottom price levels. Each time prices break out from these levels, a signal is displayed on the chart.
We can use the Power Hour to gauge market sentiment:
Bullish sentiment: Price trades above the Power Hour.
Mixed sentiment: Price trades within the Power Hour.
Bearish sentiment: Price trades below the Power Hour.
🔹 Displaying Power Hours and Breakouts
By default, all detected Power Hours are displayed. Traders can manually adjust this number by disabling the "Display All" parameter in the Settings panel.
Breakouts are displayed by default, too, but this feature can be disabled as well.
The chart above shows different configurations of these parameters.
🔹 Power Hour Extensions
Traders can use Power Hour extensions as potential targets for breakout signals.
In the settings panel, traders can select the percentage of the Power Hour price range to use for each extension. For example, 100% uses the full range, 200% uses the range twice, and so on.
As seen on the chart, traders can configure different percentages for the top and bottom extensions.
🔹 Fibonacci Levels
Traders can display default or custom Fibonacci levels on the Power Hour range to identify retracement opportunities and evaluate market movement strength. Each level can be enabled or disabled, as well as customized by level, color, and line style.
For example, as we can see on the chart, prices attempt to break out at the Power Hour top level, then retrace to the 0.618 Fibonacci level, and then rise to the 200% Power Hour top extension.
🔶 SETTINGS
Display Last X Power Hours: Select how many Power Hours to display or enable the Display All feature.
Power Hour (NY Time): Choose a custom Power Hour in New York time.
🔹 Breakouts
Breakouts: Enable or disable breakouts.
Bullish Breakout: Select color for bullish breakouts.
Bearish Breakout: Select color for bearish breakouts.
🔹 Extensions
Top Extension: Enable or disable the top extension and choose the percentage of Power Hour to use.
Bottom extension: Enable or disable the bottom extension and choose the percentage of Power Hour to use.
🔹 Fibonacci Levels
Display Fibonacci: Enable or disable Fibonacci levels.
Reverse: Reverse Fibonacci levels.
Levels, Colors & Style
Display Labels: Enable or disable labels and choose text size.
🔹 Style

Session Breaks: Enable or disable session breaks.
Seasonal Pattern DecoderSeasonal Pattern Decoder
The Seasonal Pattern Decoder is a powerful tool designed for traders and analysts who want to uncover and leverage seasonal tendencies in financial markets. Instead of cluttering your chart with complex visuals, this indicator presents a clean, intuitive table that summarizes historical monthly performance, allowing you to spot recurring patterns at a glance.
How It Works
The indicator fetches historical monthly data for any symbol and calculates the percentage return for each month over a specified number of years. It then organizes this data into a comprehensive table, providing a clear, year-by-year and month-by-month breakdown of performance.
Key Features
Historical Performance Table: Displays monthly returns for up to a user-defined number of years, making it easy to compare performance across different periods.
Color-Coded Heatmap: Each cell is colored based on the performance of the month. Strong positive returns are shaded in green, while strong negative returns are shaded in red, allowing for immediate visual analysis of monthly strength or weakness.
Annual Summary: A "Σ" column shows the total percentage return for each full calendar year.
AVG Row: Calculates and displays the average return for each month across all the years shown in the table.
WR Row: Shows the "Win Rate" for each month, which is the percentage of time that month had a positive return. This is crucial for identifying high-probability seasonal trends.
How to Use
Add the "Seasonal Pattern Decoder" indicator to your chart. Note that it works best on Daily, Weekly, or Monthly timeframes. A warning message will be displayed on intraday charts.
In the indicator settings, adjust the "Lookback Period" to control how many years of historical data you want to analyze.
Use the "Show Years Descending" option to sort the table from the most recent year to the oldest.
The "Heat Range" setting allows you to adjust the sensitivity of the color-coding to fit the volatility of the asset you are analyzing.
This tool is ideal for confirming trading biases, developing seasonal strategies, or simply gaining a deeper understanding of an asset's typical behavior throughout the year.
## Disclaimer
This indicator is designed as a technical analysis tool and should be used in conjunction with other forms of analysis and proper risk management.
Past performance does not guarantee future results, and traders should thoroughly test any strategy before implementing it with real capital.
