Game Theory Trading StrategyGame Theory Trading Strategy: Explanation and Working Logic
This Pine Script (version 5) code implements a trading strategy named "Game Theory Trading Strategy" in TradingView. Unlike the previous indicator, this is a full-fledged strategy with automated entry/exit rules, risk management, and backtesting capabilities. It uses Game Theory principles to analyze market behavior, focusing on herd behavior, institutional flows, liquidity traps, and Nash equilibrium to generate buy (long) and sell (short) signals. Below, I'll explain the strategy's purpose, working logic, key components, and usage tips in detail.
1. General Description
Purpose: The strategy identifies high-probability trading opportunities by combining Game Theory concepts (herd behavior, contrarian signals, Nash equilibrium) with technical analysis (RSI, volume, momentum). It aims to exploit market inefficiencies caused by retail herd behavior, institutional flows, and liquidity traps. The strategy is designed for automated trading with defined risk management (stop-loss/take-profit) and position sizing based on market conditions.
Key Features:
Herd Behavior Detection: Identifies retail panic buying/selling using RSI and volume spikes.
Liquidity Traps: Detects stop-loss hunting zones where price breaks recent highs/lows but reverses.
Institutional Flow Analysis: Tracks high-volume institutional activity via Accumulation/Distribution and volume spikes.
Nash Equilibrium: Uses statistical price bands to assess whether the market is in equilibrium or deviated (overbought/oversold).
Risk Management: Configurable stop-loss (SL) and take-profit (TP) percentages, dynamic position sizing based on Game Theory (minimax principle).
Visualization: Displays Nash bands, signals, background colors, and two tables (Game Theory status and backtest results).
Backtesting: Tracks performance metrics like win rate, profit factor, max drawdown, and Sharpe ratio.
Strategy Settings:
Initial capital: $10,000.
Pyramiding: Up to 3 positions.
Position size: 10% of equity (default_qty_value=10).
Configurable inputs for RSI, volume, liquidity, institutional flow, Nash equilibrium, and risk management.
Warning: This is a strategy, not just an indicator. It executes trades automatically in TradingView's Strategy Tester. Always backtest thoroughly and use proper risk management before live trading.
2. Working Logic (Step by Step)
The strategy processes each bar (candle) to generate signals, manage positions, and update performance metrics. Here's how it works:
a. Input Parameters
The inputs are grouped for clarity:
Herd Behavior (🐑):
RSI Period (14): For overbought/oversold detection.
Volume MA Period (20): To calculate average volume for spike detection.
Herd Threshold (2.0): Volume multiplier for detecting herd activity.
Liquidity Analysis (💧):
Liquidity Lookback (50): Bars to check for recent highs/lows.
Liquidity Sensitivity (1.5): Volume multiplier for trap detection.
Institutional Flow (🏦):
Institutional Volume Multiplier (2.5): For detecting large volume spikes.
Institutional MA Period (21): For Accumulation/Distribution smoothing.
Nash Equilibrium (⚖️):
Nash Period (100): For calculating price mean and standard deviation.
Nash Deviation (0.02): Multiplier for equilibrium bands.
Risk Management (🛡️):
Use Stop-Loss (true): Enables SL at 2% below/above entry price.
Use Take-Profit (true): Enables TP at 5% above/below entry price.
b. Herd Behavior Detection
RSI (14): Checks for extreme conditions:
Overbought: RSI > 70 (potential herd buying).
Oversold: RSI < 30 (potential herd selling).
Volume Spike: Volume > SMA(20) x 2.0 (herd_threshold).
Momentum: Price change over 10 bars (close - close ) compared to its SMA(20).
Herd Signals:
Herd Buying: RSI > 70 + volume spike + positive momentum = Retail buying frenzy (red background).
Herd Selling: RSI < 30 + volume spike + negative momentum = Retail selling panic (green background).
c. Liquidity Trap Detection
Recent Highs/Lows: Calculated over 50 bars (liquidity_lookback).
Psychological Levels: Nearest round numbers (e.g., $100, $110) as potential stop-loss zones.
Trap Conditions:
Up Trap: Price breaks recent high, closes below it, with a volume spike (volume > SMA x 1.5).
Down Trap: Price breaks recent low, closes above it, with a volume spike.
Visualization: Traps are marked with small red/green crosses above/below bars.
d. Institutional Flow Analysis
Volume Check: Volume > SMA(20) x 2.5 (inst_volume_mult) = Institutional activity.
Accumulation/Distribution (AD):
Formula: ((close - low) - (high - close)) / (high - low) * volume, cumulated over time.
Smoothed with SMA(21) (inst_ma_length).
Accumulation: AD > MA + high volume = Institutions buying.
Distribution: AD < MA + high volume = Institutions selling.
Smart Money Index: (close - open) / (high - low) * volume, smoothed with SMA(20). Positive = Smart money buying.
e. Nash Equilibrium
Calculation:
Price mean: SMA(100) (nash_period).
Standard deviation: stdev(100).
Upper Nash: Mean + StdDev x 0.02 (nash_deviation).
Lower Nash: Mean - StdDev x 0.02.
Conditions:
Near Equilibrium: Price between upper and lower Nash bands (stable market).
Above Nash: Price > upper band (overbought, sell potential).
Below Nash: Price < lower band (oversold, buy potential).
Visualization: Orange line (mean), red/green lines (upper/lower bands).
f. Game Theory Signals
The strategy generates three types of signals, combined into long/short triggers:
Contrarian Signals:
Buy: Herd selling + (accumulation or down trap) = Go against retail panic.
Sell: Herd buying + (distribution or up trap).
Momentum Signals:
Buy: Below Nash + positive smart money + no herd buying.
Sell: Above Nash + negative smart money + no herd selling.
Nash Reversion Signals:
Buy: Below Nash + rising close (close > close ) + volume > MA.
Sell: Above Nash + falling close + volume > MA.
Final Signals:
Long Signal: Contrarian buy OR momentum buy OR Nash reversion buy.
Short Signal: Contrarian sell OR momentum sell OR Nash reversion sell.
g. Position Management
Position Sizing (Minimax Principle):
Default: 1.0 (10% of equity).
In Nash equilibrium: Reduced to 0.5 (conservative).
During institutional volume: Increased to 1.5 (aggressive).
Entries:
Long: If long_signal is true and no existing long position (strategy.position_size <= 0).
Short: If short_signal is true and no existing short position (strategy.position_size >= 0).
Exits:
Stop-Loss: If use_sl=true, set at 2% below/above entry price.
Take-Profit: If use_tp=true, set at 5% above/below entry price.
Pyramiding: Up to 3 concurrent positions allowed.
h. Visualization
Nash Bands: Orange (mean), red (upper), green (lower).
Background Colors:
Herd buying: Red (90% transparency).
Herd selling: Green.
Institutional volume: Blue.
Signals:
Contrarian buy/sell: Green/red triangles below/above bars.
Liquidity traps: Red/green crosses above/below bars.

j. Alerts
No explicit alertconditions defined, but you can add them for long_signal and short_signal (e.g., alertcondition(long_signal, "GT Long Entry", "Long Signal Detected!")).
Use TradingView's alert system with Strategy Tester outputs.
3. Usage Tips
Timeframe: Best for H1-D1 timeframes. Shorter frames (M1-M15) may produce noisy signals.
Settings:
Risk Management: Adjust sl_percent (e.g., 1% for volatile markets) and tp_percent (e.g., 3% for scalping).
Herd Threshold: Increase to 2.5 for stricter herd detection in choppy markets.
Liquidity Lookback: Reduce to 20 for faster markets (e.g., crypto).
Nash Period: Increase to 200 for longer-term analysis.
Backtesting:
Use TradingView's Strategy Tester to evaluate performance.
Check win rate (>50%), profit factor (>1.5), and max drawdown (<20%) for viability.
Test on different assets/timeframes to ensure robustness.
Live Trading:
Start with a demo account.
Combine with other indicators (e.g., EMAs, support/resistance) for confirmation.
Monitor liquidity traps and institutional flow for context.
Risk Management:
Always use SL/TP to limit losses.
Adjust position_size for risk tolerance (e.g., 5% of equity for conservative trading).
Avoid over-leveraging (pyramiding=3 can amplify risk).
Troubleshooting:
If no trades are executed, check signal conditions (e.g., lower herd_threshold or liquidity_sensitivity).
Ensure sufficient historical data for Nash and liquidity calculations.
If tables overlap, adjust position.top_right/bottom_right coordinates.
4. Key Differences from the Previous Indicator
Indicator vs. Strategy: The previous code was an indicator (VP + Game Theory Integrated Strategy) focused on visualization and alerts. This is a strategy with automated entries/exits and backtesting.
Volume Profile: Absent in this strategy, making it lighter but less focused on high-volume zones.
Wick Analysis: Not included here, unlike the previous indicator's heavy reliance on wick patterns.
Backtesting: This strategy includes detailed performance metrics and a backtest table, absent in the indicator.
Simpler Signals: Focuses on Game Theory signals (contrarian, momentum, Nash reversion) without the "Power/Ultra Power" hierarchy.
Risk Management: Explicit SL/TP and dynamic position sizing, not present in the indicator.
5. Conclusion
The "Game Theory Trading Strategy" is a sophisticated system leveraging herd behavior, institutional flows, liquidity traps, and Nash equilibrium to trade market inefficiencies. It’s designed for traders who understand Game Theory principles and want automated execution with robust risk management. However, it requires thorough backtesting and parameter optimization for specific markets (e.g., forex, crypto, stocks). The backtest table and visual aids make it easy to monitor performance, but always combine with other analysis tools and proper capital management.

VP + Game Theory Integrated Strategy9s için DüşünceVP + Game Theory Integrated Strategy Indicator: Explanation and Working Logic
Hello! You can upload the provided Pine Script code to TradingView. This is compatible with Pine Script Editor (v6 version) – simply copy-paste it directly. The indicator's name is "VP + Game Theory Integrated Strategy," and since overlay=true, it will display on top of the price chart (over the candlesticks). Maximum boxes, lines, and labels are set to 500, so it handles dense charts without performance issues.
Below, I'll provide a detailed explanation of the indicator, its working logic, main components, and usage tips step by step. This indicator integrates Volume Profile (VP), Game Theory, and Wick (Candle Wick) Patterns to generate buy/sell signals. It aims to detect high-probability reversal points by analyzing market liquidity, herd behavior, and institutional movements. It's suitable for crypto, forex, or stock markets, but always backtest before using in live trading.
1. General Description
Purpose: This indicator combines volume-based analysis (Volume Profile), game theory elements (herd behavior, Nash equilibrium, contrarian strategies), and candle wick patterns. It identifies strong resistance/support levels (POC, VAH/VAL, liquidity zones) and generates "Power" signals based on them. Signals are shown with labels, lines, and alerts for buy (green) or sell (red).
Key Features:
Volume Profile (VP): Calculates high-volume areas (POC: Point of Control, the highest volume level; VAH/VAL: Value Area High/Low) and displays them on the chart.
Game Theory (GT): Models the market as "players" (retail herd, institutions). Detects herd buying/selling panics and generates contrarian signals.
Wick-Based Signals: Captures reversals with large wicks. Applies strict criteria for "Power" and "Ultra Power" levels.
Market Maker (MM) Elements: Monitors liquidity traps and institutional volume spikes.
Visualization: Nash bands, liquidity boxes, info table (top-right), background colors, and alerts.
Signal Types: Normal, Power, Ultra Power, GT-confirmed. Signals are limited (max 1-5 per zone) with a minimum wait time (40 bars).
Input Parameters: Grouped into 3 sections (GT, Wick, VP, MM). Default values are balanced, but customizable (e.g., strictMode=true makes it more selective).
Warning: This is an indicator, not a full strategy. It includes alerts, but add stop-loss/take-profit for risk management. Use TradingView's Strategy Tester for backtesting.
2. Working Logic (Step by Step)
The indicator processes each bar (candle) as follows:
a. Basic Calculations
ATR (Average True Range): Measures volatility (20 periods). Candle size (high-low) must be at least ATR x 2.5 for signals to be valid.
Candle Components: Calculates candle body (close-open), upper/lower wick.
Volume Analysis: Average volume (SMA 20), detects spikes (based on threshold).
Trend Filter: EMAs (20/50/200) determine up/downtrend. In strict mode, it's stricter (strong uptrend: EMA20 > EMA50 > EMA200 and close > EMA20).
b. Game Theory (GT) Component
Herd Behavior: RSI (14) overbought/oversold (70/30) + volume spike + momentum detects it. Herd buying: Overbuying frenzy (red background). Herd selling: Selling panic (green background).
Institutional Flow: Volume > average x 2.5 + Accumulation/Distribution (AD) indicator. Accumulation: Institutions buying (strengthens buy signals). Distribution: Selling (strengthens sell).
Liquidity Traps: In the last 50 bars, if a new high/low is broken but close pulls back + volume spike = Trap (up/down).
Smart Money: Intra-candle movement (close-open)/(high-low) x volume. Positive = Smart money inflow.
Nash Equilibrium: Price mean (SMA 100) ± deviation (stdev x 0.02). In equilibrium: Normal. Above: Sell potential. Below: Buy. Bands are optionally shown.
GT Signals:
Contrarian: Herd selling + accumulation = Buy.
Momentum: Below Nash + positive smart money = Buy (opposite for sell).
Nash Reversion: Below Nash + rising close + volume = Buy.
Power Signal: At least 3 GT signals (min_signals_for_power=3) + volume confirmation = Power GT buy/sell. Can show only GT-confirmed signals (show_gt_only_signals=true).
c. Volume Profile (VP) Component
Calculation: For the last 100 bars (vpPeriod), divides the price range (high-low) into vpRows (24) rows. Distributes volume across rows.
POC (Point of Control): Highest volume level (orange line). Threshold 80% (pocThreshold).
Value Area (VA): 70% of total volume (valueAreaPercent). VAH (upper bound, blue dotted), VAL (lower bound).
High-Volume Area: Price near POC or volume > POC x 80% = Strong zone.
Visualization: Histogram boxes on the right (blue/orange). POC/VAH/VAL lines and labels.
d. Wick (Candle Wick) and Power Signals
Main Wick Criteria: Large candle (ATR x 2.5), small body (<8%), wick 8x body length (anaFitilCarpan) and 80% of candle (anaFitilYuzde). High volume + trend filter (downtrend for upper wick).
Signal Wick: More flexible for triggers (5x length, 70%).
Power/Ultra Power:
Power Sell: Main upper wick + near POC/VAH + MM volume (2.5x) + GT contrarian/momentum.
Power Buy: Similar for lower wick.
Super Wick: Power + institutional volume + strong momentum.
Ultra Power: Super + GT power (3/3) + distribution/accumulation + Nash deviation + liquidity trap. Rarest and strongest (fuchsia/lime color).
Signal Management: Detected wick level (high/low) is saved. Wait min 40 bars, max 1-5 signals per zone. When trigger candle arrives (price reaches level + long wick + close in opposite direction) = BUY/SELL plotshape.
e. Market Maker (MM) and Liquidity
MM Volume: Average x 2.5 + wick bonus (1.3x).
Liquidity Zones: Saves last 20 high-volume highs/lows. Shown as boxes on chart (red/green, lasting 200 bars).
Traps: Integrated with GT, strengthens power signals.
f. Visualization and Alerts
Background: Ultra Power (fuchsia/lime), Power GT (red/green), Herd (red/green).
Lines: Active resistance/support (dashed, colored).
Table (Top-Right): Resistance/support levels, remaining signals, POC/VAH/VAL, GT status (herd, institutional, Nash, signal strength), volume/liquidity.
Alerts: For Ultra Power, GT Power, Super Wick, normal signals. Messages include level/price.
g. Filters and Options
Strict Mode: Stricter (higher volume 1.5x, strong trend, RSI filter).
Require Volume Confirmation: Mandatory volume check.
Only Show Power Signals: Display only power/ultra.
Require Ultra Power: Strictest, only ultra.
3. Usage Tips
Chart Timeframe: H1-D1 for medium-long term. Shorter frames (M1-M5) may produce too many signals.
Settings:
StrictMode=true: Fewer but higher-quality signals.
Use_game_theory=false: Use only VP + Wicks.
ShowVP=false: Hide histogram to reduce clutter.
Strategy Integration: Filter BUY/SELL with EMAs. Stop-loss: ATR x 1-2, Take-profit: POC/VAH levels.
Backtesting: Convert to strategy in TradingView (use alertconditions). Test on historical data.
Risk: Designed for market manipulation (MM traps), but no indicator is 100% accurate. Apply capital management.
Troubleshooting: If errors (e.g., vpInitialized=false), increase period or refresh chart.
This indicator is complex but powerful – blending VP for volume zones with GT for psychology. If you have questions or need setting changes, let me know!
Mig Trade Model - Kill Zones
Key features:
Liquidity Hunt Detection: Spots aggressive moves that "hunt" stops beyond recent swing highs/lows.
Consolidation Filter: Requires 1-3 small-range candles after a hunt before confirming with a strong candle.
Bias Application: Uses daily open/close to auto-detect bias or allows manual override.
Kill Zone Restriction: Limits signals to London (default: 7-10 AM UTC) and NY (default: 12-3 PM UTC) sessions for better relevance in active markets.
This strategy is inspired by smart money concepts (SMC) and ICT (Inner Circle Trader) methodologies, aiming to capture venom-like "stings" in price action where liquidity is grabbed before reversals.
How It Works
ATR Calculation: Uses a user-defined ATR length (default: 14) to measure volatility, which scales candle body and range thresholds.
Bias Determination:
Auto: Compares daily close to open (bullish if close > open).
Manual: User selects "Bullish" or "Bearish."
Strong Candles:
Bullish: Green candle with body > 2x ATR (configurable).
Bearish: Red candle with body > 2x ATR.
Small Range Candles:
Candles where high-low < 0.5x ATR (configurable).
Liquidity Hunt:
Bullish Hunt: Strong bearish candle making a new low below the past swing low (default: 10 bars).
Bearish Hunt: Strong bullish candle making a new high above the past swing high.
Signal Generation:
After a hunt, counts 1-3 small-range candles.
Confirms with a strong candle in the opposite direction (e.g., strong bullish after bearish hunt).
Resets if >3 small candles or an opposing strong candle appears.
Kill Zone Filter:
Checks if the current bar's time (in UTC) falls within London or NY Kill Zones.
Only allows final "Buy" (bullish entry) or "Sell" (bearish entry) if bias matches and in Kill Zone.
Plots:
Yellow circle (below): Bullish liquidity hunt.
Orange circle (above): Bearish liquidity hunt.
Blue diamond (below): Raw bullish signal.
Purple diamond (above): Raw bearish signal.
Green triangle up ("Buy"): Filtered bullish entry.
Red triangle down ("Sell"): Filtered bearish entry.
Inputs
Bias: "Auto" (default), "Bullish", or "Bearish" – Controls signal direction based on daily trend.
ATR Length: 14 (default) – Period for ATR calculation.
Swing Length for Liquidity Hunt: 10 (default) – Bars to look back for swing highs/lows.
Strong Candle Body Multiplier (x ATR): 2.0 (default) – Threshold for strong candle bodies.
Small Range Multiplier (x ATR): 0.5 (default) – Threshold for small-range candles.
London Kill Zone Start/End Hour (UTC): 7/10 (default) – Customize London session hours.
NY Kill Zone Start/End Hour (UTC): 12/15 (default) – Customize New York session hours.
Usage Tips
Timeframe: Best on lower timeframes (e.g., 5-15 min) for intraday trading, especially forex pairs like EURUSD or GBPUSD.
Timezone Adjustment: Inputs are in UTC. If your chart is in a different timezone (e.g., EST = UTC-5), adjust hours accordingly (e.g., London: 2-5 AM EST → 7-10 UTC).
Risk Management: Use with stop-loss (e.g., beyond the hunt low/high) and take-profit based on ATR multiples. Not financial advice—backtest thoroughly.
Customization: Tweak multipliers for different assets; higher for volatile cryptos, lower for stocks.
Limitations: Relies on historical data; may generate false signals in ranging markets. Combine with other indicators like volume or support/resistance.

SAFE Leverage x50Description:
Safe Leverage x50 is an indicator designed to help traders choose prudent, realistic, and dynamic leverage, adapted to the timeframe and volatility of the asset they are trading.
Based on rigorous statistical and practical observation, this indicator does not propose fixed rules, but rather provides a visual estimate of the maximum leverage a typical trade can tolerate without being liquidated, based on the current candle's movement range. At the same time, it automatically suggests a more conservative leverage (by default, half of the maximum) for more controlled risk management.
Candle Channel█ OVERVIEW
The "Candle Channel" indicator is a versatile technical analysis tool that plots a price channel based on the Simple Moving Average (SMA) of candlestick midpoints. The channel bands, calculated based on candlestick volatility, form dynamic support and resistance levels that adapt to price movements. The script generates signals for reversals from the bands and SMA breakouts, making it useful for both short-term and long-term traders. By adjusting the SMA length, the channel can vary in nature—from a wide channel encapsulating price movement to narrower support/resistance or trend-following bands. The channel width can be further customized using a scaling parameter, allowing adaptation to different trading styles and markets.
█ MECHANISM
Band Calculation
The indicator is based on the following calculations:
Candlestick Midpoint: Calculated as the arithmetic average of the candle’s high and low prices: (high + low) / 2.
Simple Moving Average (SMA): The average of candlestick midpoints over a specified length (default: 20 candles), forming the channel’s centerline.
Average Candle Height: Calculated as the average difference between the high and low prices (high - low) over the same SMA length, serving as a measure of market volatility.
Band Scaling: The user specifies a percentage of the average candle height (default: 200%), which is multiplied by the average height to create an offset. The upper band is SMA + offset, and the lower band is SMA - offset.Example: For an average candle height of 10 points and 200% scaling, the offset is 20 points, meaning the bands are ±20 points from the SMA.
Channel Characteristics: The SMA length determines the channel’s dynamics. Shorter SMA values (10–30) create a wide channel that contains price movement, ideal for scalping or short-term trading. Longer SMA values (above 30, e.g., 50–100) transform the channel into narrower support/resistance or trend-following bands, suitable for longer-term analysis. Band scaling further adjusts the channel width to match market volatility.
Signals
Reversal from Bands: Signals are generated when the price closes outside the band (above the upper or below the lower) and then returns to the channel, indicating a potential trend reversal.
SMA Breakout: Signals are generated when the price crosses the SMA upward (bullish signal) or downward (bearish signal), suggesting potential trend changes.
Visualization
Centerline: The SMA of candlestick midpoints, displayed as a thin line.
Channel Bands: Upper and lower channel boundaries, with customizable colors.
Fill: Options include a gradient (smooth color transition between bands) or solid color. The fill can also be disabled for greater clarity.
█ FEATURES AND SETTINGS
SMA Length: Determines the moving average period (default: 20). Values of 10–30 are suitable for a wide channel containing price movement, ideal for short-term timeframes. Longer values (e.g., 50–100) create narrower support/resistance or trend-following bands, better suited for higher timeframes.
Band Scaling: Percentage of the average candle height (default: 200%). Adjusts the channel width to match market volatility—smaller values (e.g., 50–100%) for narrower bands, larger values (e.g., 200–300%) for wider channels.
Fill Type: Gradient, solid, or no fill, allowing customization to user preferences.
Colors: Options to change the colors of bands, fill, and signals for better readability.
Signals: Options to enable/disable reversal signals from bands and SMA breakout signals.
█ HOW TO USE
Add the script to your chart in TradingView by clicking "Add to Chart" in the Pine Editor.
Adjust input parameters in the script settings:
SMA Length: Set to 10–30 for a wide channel containing price movement, suitable for scalping or short-term trading. Set above 30 (e.g., 50–100) for narrower support/resistance or trend-following bands.
Band Scaling: Adjust the channel width to market volatility. Smaller values (50–100%) for tighter support/resistance bands, larger values (200–300%) for wider channels containing price movement.
Fill Type and Colors: Choose a gradient for aesthetics or a solid fill for clarity.
Analyze signals:
Reversal Signals: Triangles above (bearish) or below (bullish) candles indicate potential reversal points.
SMA Breakout Signals: Circles above (bearish) or below (bullish) candles indicate trend changes.
Test the indicator on different instruments and timeframes to find optimal settings for your trading style.
█ LIMITATIONS
The indicator may generate false signals in highly volatile or consolidating markets.
On low-liquidity charts (e.g., exotic currency pairs), the bands may be less reliable.
Effectiveness depends on properly matching parameters to the market and timeframe.

0-5 Box Strategy Tester v4🟩 0-5 Box Strategy Tester v4 — Explained Simply
This script is a modular hourly breakout strategy designed to help traders test and trade breakouts (or pullbacks) from the first 5-minute range of any selected hour. It supports both long and short positions and is optimized for scalping or intraday strategies.
🔑 Core Strategy Logic
Box Formation: At the start of every hour, the script tracks the high and low of the first 5 minutes (e.g., from 9:00 to 9:04).
Trade Trigger: Once price breaks out above or below this 5-minute box (either instantly or after a pullback), it can trigger a long or short entry depending on your settings.
Entry Type: Supports two main styles:
Breakout entry: Buy/sell as soon as price breaks the box.
Pullback re-entry: Wait for price to break the box, pull back, then re-enter on a limit order.
🧪 Smart Entry Filters (Optional but Powerful)
You can refine your trades using several filters:
✅ Previous Hour Direction – Only trade in the direction of the last hour’s candle (bullish/bearish).
🔄 Reversal Filter – Only trade against the previous hour’s direction.
💧 Liquidity Sweep – Require the previous hour’s high or low to be swept first (liquidity-based entry).
🔁 Q2 Confirmation (15–30 min logic) – Confirm price action in the second quarter of the hour (like retests or wick-based logic).
🕒 Max Entry Time – Prevent late trades within the hour (e.g., no entries after minute 45).
📦 Max Range % – Avoid trading during overly volatile hours by filtering out wide boxes.
🕘 Flexible Hour Selection
You can choose to:
Trade all hours
Or select specific hours manually (like 4AM, 9AM, etc.)
📉 Risk & Position Sizing Options
Supports stop-loss and take-profit by:
Points
Percentage

Sudden MOVE Spikes Buy SignalThis Pine Script indicator, titled "Sudden MOVE Spikes Buy Signal", is designed for TradingView charts to identify potential buy opportunities in risk assets (e.g., BTC, stocks, or any charted symbol) based on spikes in the MOVE index (a measure of U.S. Treasury bond volatility, often called the "VIX for bonds"). It leverages the observation that sharp MOVE spikes above a threshold (indicating bond market stress or illiquidity) have historically preceded liquidity injections from the Fed or Treasury, leading to rallies in risk assets post-2020 (e.g.,
March 2020 COVID crash, October 2022 rate hike volatility, March 2023 banking crisis). The indicator filters out false positives, like the February 2022 geopolitical spike from the Russia-Ukraine invasion, using WTI crude oil price surges as a proxy.Key features:Signal Detection: Fires a "Buy" label when the daily MOVE index crosses above the threshold (default 130) with a sudden rate of change (ROC > 27% over 5 days), signaling potential liquidity-driven bottoms.
Geopolitical Filter: Excludes signals if oil ROC exceeds 20% over 5 days, to avoid non-macro events.
Time Restriction: Only shows signals from January 1, 2020, onward, as the strategy is tuned to the post-COVID regime.
Visuals: Plots a green "Buy" label below the bar on the chart and optionally highlights the bar with a green background (85% opacity) for emphasis.
Alerts: Supports alerts for new signals via TradingView's alert system.
The indicator is versatile and can be applied to any asset chart, though it's optimized for risk assets like cryptocurrencies or equities. Backtesting shows high hit rates for rallies in S&P 500 and BTC after valid signals, but it's a heuristic tool—combine with other analysis for trading decisions.
boitumelo_eth_behavior## 1. The Core Trend: EMA Lines
The two moving average lines tell you the main trend direction.
Orange Line (EMA 21): The faster, short-term trend.
Blue Line (EMA 50): The slower, long-term trend.
How to read them:
Uptrend: When the Orange line is above the Blue line, the market is generally bullish. You should primarily look for buying opportunities.
Downtrend: When the Orange line is below the Blue line, the market is generally bearish. You should primarily look for selling opportunities.
Choppy Market: When the lines are flat and tangled together, the market is consolidating and lacks a clear direction. Be cautious during these times.
## 2. The Signals: Crosses, Zones, and Labels
These are your specific points of interest for potential entries and exits.
EMA Crosses (Triangles & Diamonds)
The script shows two types of cross signals: predictions and confirmations.
Prediction Triangles (▲▼): These are an early warning. A green triangle (▲) means a bullish cross might happen soon. A red triangle (▼) means a bearish cross is predicted. Do not trade these directly. Use them as a heads-up to pay close attention.
Optimal Cross Diamonds (💎): These are your high-quality entry signals.
Aqua Diamond (💎 Bullish): The EMAs have crossed upwards, and the price confirmed the move. This is a potential buy signal.
Fuchsia Diamond (💎 Bearish): The EMAs have crossed downwards, and the price confirmed the move. This is a potential sell signal.
Support & Resistance (Boxes & Labels)
These zones are drawn from recent market turning points (pivots) and represent key price levels.
Green Zones & Labels (Support): This is a price "floor" where the market has previously bounced up. Look for buyers to step in here. A bounce off this level is bullish.
Red Zones & Labels (Resistance): This is a price "ceiling" where the market has previously been rejected. Look for sellers to become active here. A rejection from this level is bearish.
## 3. The Context: Session Background Colors
The background color tells you about the typical market behavior for that time of day (based on the script's settings). This helps you filter your trades.
🟩 Green Background (Bullish Session): Bullish signals (like an Aqua Diamond or a bounce from support) are more reliable during these hours.
🟥 Red Background (Bearish Session): Bearish signals (like a Fuchsia Diamond or a rejection from resistance) are stronger during these hours.
🌫️ Gray Background (Consolidation Session): The market is often choppy. It's best to be cautious, as signals can be less reliable.
## Putting It All Together: A Trade Example
You can combine these elements to find high-probability setups.
Example High-Probability Buy Setup:
Trend: The Orange EMA is above the Blue EMA, or an Aqua Diamond (💎) has just appeared, confirming a new uptrend.
Level: The price pulls back and enters a Green Support Zone.
Context: The chart background is Green, indicating a bullish time of day.
Signal: You see price starting to bounce up from the support zone. This is your cue to consider a long (buy) trade, with a stop-loss placed below the green zone.
Reversal & Breakout Strategy - CompleteThis is a complete intraday trading strategy script for TradingView that lets you:
1. Choose Between Two Styles of Trades:
Reversals: It looks for large bullish or bearish candles during market sessions and enters trades expecting price to reverse.
Breakouts: It scans for price breaking above or below a recent high or low (based on a lookback range) and enters in the direction of the breakout.
2. Filters Trades by Session and Day Type:
Trades only during sessions you choose: NY1, NY2, London, Asia, etc.
Trades only on specific day types (e.g., DNP, DWP, Range 1, Range 2), as classified by a custom daily behavior model.
3. Uses 9:30 AM Candle Logic (ORB):
Captures the 9:30 AM Eastern candle's high/low using 1-minute data.
Allows breakout confirmation using this range.
4. Entry + Exit Logic:
Enters on reversal or breakout confirmation.
Automatically places stop-loss and take-profit orders (based on your input, in ticks or points).
Can require classification before entry (e.g., don’t trade until the market type is known).
5. Tracks Trades and Performance:
Records each trade's PnL, drawdown, win/loss, classification, time, and session.
Displays a table with analytics like win rate, expectancy, average drawdown, trade distribution by day/classification.
6. Visually Shows All Trades:
Draws arrows and shapes when trades are triggered.
Labels when trades are blocked (e.g., if not classified yet).
Plots breakout levels and 9:30 AM box.

Composite Trend Trader Module [BackQuant]Composite Trend Trader Module
Overview and Purpose
The Composite Trend Trader Module (CTM) is an invite-only Pine Script indicator designed to provide traders with a comprehensive tool for trend-following, dip-buying, and market strength assessment. By integrating multiple market data inputs—price momentum, volatility, volume, and statistical baselines—the CTM generates actionable outputs for trend identification, swing trade entries, and dip-buying opportunities. The indicator is intended for traders seeking a systematic approach to market analysis with customizable settings, while maintaining simplicity in its user interface. As a closed-source script, the underlying calculations remain proprietary, but this description outlines its functionality, features, and practical applications in trading.
Visual Components
The CTM provides the following visual elements on the chart:
• Signal Spine – A colored line (default 25-period weighted moving average) that reflects the dominant trend—green for bullish, red for bearish, and grey for neutral or transitional periods.
• Swing Triggers – Unicode markers ("𝕃" for long, "𝕊" for short) appear below or above bars when the trend shifts, signaling potential swing trade entries.
• Dip-Hunter Signals – Green arrows mark dip-buying opportunities, accompanied by faint green background highlights and forward-projecting entry lines for precise entry levels.
• Heat Meter – A horizontal strip at the bottom of the chart, graded from -50 (overheated) to +50 (deep dip), visually indicates the strength of dip conditions using a red-to-green gradient.
Core Features
The CTM comprises several components that work together to deliver a cohesive trading framework. Below is a detailed explanation of each, without disclosing proprietary calculations.
1. Universal Trend Tracking (UTT)
The UTT combines multiple momentum and statistical indicators into a single composite score ranging from -1 to +1. This score is derived from:
• Price-based momentum metrics.
• Volatility-adjusted thresholds.
• Statistical measures of price deviation and market structure.
When the UTT score exceeds +0.2, the market is considered in an actionable uptrend; below -0.2, a downtrend is identified. Values between these thresholds indicate a neutral or choppy market, helping traders avoid low-probability setups during consolidation.
2. Signal Spine
The signal spine is a 25-period weighted moving average of price, colored according to the UTT score (green for bullish, red for bearish, grey for neutral). This line serves as a visual anchor for tracking the prevailing trend and highlights regime changes in real time, enabling traders to align their strategies with market direction.
3. Swing Triggers (𝕃/𝕊)
Swing trade signals are generated when the UTT crosses the zero line, indicating a shift in market regime. A "𝕃" marker appears below the bar for a bullish crossover (potential long entry), and a "𝕊" marker appears above for a bearish crossover (potential short entry). These signals incorporate volatility-adaptive thresholds to minimize false triggers during low-volatility periods, improving reliability compared to traditional moving-average crossovers.
4. Dip-Hunter Engine
The Dip-Hunter subsystem identifies high-probability dip-buying opportunities by evaluating five conditions:
• Dip Magnitude – The price must have fallen by a user-defined percentage (default 2%) from a recent swing high, calculated over a specified lookback period (default 5 bars).
• Volume Burst – Current volume must exceed the average volume over a user-defined lookback (default 65 bars) by a specified multiplier (default 2x).
• Volatility Spike – The intraday range or Average True Range (ATR) must exceed a statistical baseline by a user-defined multiplier (default 1.5x).
• Structural Permission – Price must be below a fast Exponential Moving Average (EMA, default 20 periods), and the market structure must be bearish (fast EMA below slow EMA, default 50 periods).
• Trend Filter (Optional) – When enabled, dip signals are only generated if the UTT indicates a bullish trend, preventing trades against a bearish macro environment.
When these conditions align, the Dip-Hunter plots a green arrow, highlights the candle background, and draws a forward-projecting horizontal line at a user-selected price level (Low, Close, or calculated dip percentage).
5. Strength Score and Heat Meter
Each bar is assigned a strength score (0 to 5, or -50 to +50 when scaled for the heat meter) based on the following criteria:
• +1 for meeting the dip threshold.
• +1 for a volume spike.
• +1 for a volume momentum spike (based on rate-of-change).
• +1 for a confirmed volatility spike.
• +1 if price is below the fast EMA.
• +2 if the macro trend filter is bullish (when enabled).
The heat meter visualizes this score as a pointer on a red-to-green gradient strip, enabling traders to quickly assess the intensity of dip conditions and prioritize high-quality setups.
6. Entry-Line Generator
For each dip signal, the CTM draws a forward-projecting horizontal line to mark potential entry levels. Traders can configure:
• The price level for the line (Low, Close, or exact dip percentage).
• The duration of the line (default 100 bars).
• A minimum gap between signals (default 5 bars) to prevent overlapping lines during clustered events.
These lines serve as visual guides for setting limit orders or stop-loss levels.
7. Alerts
The CTM includes seven pre-configured alert conditions to support automated workflows:
• CTM Long/Short – Triggered on bullish or bearish UTT zero-line crossovers for swing trades.
• Market Overheated – Activates when the strength score falls below -40, indicating potential exhaustion.
• Close to Dip – Signals when the strength score reaches 0.6, suggesting an impending dip opportunity.
• Dip Confirmed – Fires on the first bar meeting all dip conditions.
• Dip Active – Triggers while dip conditions remain valid.
• Dip Fading – Activates when the strength score crosses below 0.5, indicating a weakening dip.
• Trend-Blocked – Alerts when dip conditions are met but blocked by the trend filter.
These alerts can be routed to brokers or trading bots for seamless execution.

"Dip active {{ticker}}")
"Dip strength fading {{ticker}}")
"Signal blocked by trend filter {{ticker}}")
User Controls
The CTM offers extensive customization to adapt to different trading styles and preferences:
• Signal Settings – Toggle the signal spine, composite score plot, swing triggers, and bar coloring. Adjust line width for visibility.
• Display Settings – Customize bullish, bearish, and neutral colors to match chart templates.
• Dip-Hunter Settings – Configure volume lookback, spike multipliers, EMA periods, volatility thresholds, dip percentage, and lookback bars.
• Trend Filter – Enable or disable the requirement for a bullish UTT before dip signals are generated.
• Strength & Meter – Toggle bar coloring based on the strength score, adjust the number of meter cells (default 60), and select meter position (e.g., bottom-center).
• Entry Settings – Control entry line visibility, length, and price source (Low, Close, or dip percentage).
Trading Applications
The CTM supports multiple trading strategies, each leveraging its outputs for specific market conditions:
• Trend-Ride Mode – Trade in the direction of the signal spine. Enter long positions on the first "𝕃" marker in a green (bullish) regime, and scale out when the UTT returns to grey (neutral). This is ideal for trend-following traders seeking to capture sustained moves, with the first signal in a new trend regime offering high statistical expectancy.
• Forced Dip Entries – Enable the trend filter and focus on dip signals (green arrows). Place limit orders at the entry line, set stops below the line, and target the midpoint of the prior value area (e.g., using support/resistance levels). This suits mean-reversion traders aiming to buy dips in bullish trends, with clear risk management via entry lines.
• Scalp Confirmation – Hide the signal spine and use bar coloring to identify short-term momentum. Green bars indicate broad buying pressure, while red bars warn against long scalps in oversold conditions. This is useful for intraday scalpers seeking confirmation of momentum before entering trades.
• Event Guardrails – Avoid trading when the heat meter is below -40 before major economic releases (e.g., FOMC, CPI), as spreads and slippage may widen. This enhances risk management by flagging high-risk periods during macroeconomic events.
• Multi-Timeframe Analysis – Apply the CTM on a daily timeframe in a secondary pane and a lower timeframe (e.g., hourly) on the primary chart. Trade only when both timeframes align (e.g., both in bullish regimes). This increases conviction for swing or position traders by confirming trend alignment across timeframes.
Frequently Asked Questions
• How does the CTM differ from a moving-average ribbon? The CTM integrates multiple momentum, volatility, and statistical indicators, using adaptive thresholds and proprietary calculations to respond faster to structural changes while filtering noise more effectively than traditional dual-EMA systems.
• Can the underlying formulas be accessed? No, the script is closed-source, and calculations are protected to preserve intellectual property. Users receive all outputs, alerts, and customizable parameters.
• Does the indicator repaint? No, all calculations use confirmed historical data without look-ahead bias. Entry lines are static from the signal bar.
• Which markets is it suitable for? The CTM is optimized for equities, futures, and cryptocurrencies. Adjust dip percentage and volume multipliers for low-liquidity markets.
• What about latency? The script uses efficient Pine Script functions and lightweight loops, ensuring minimal performance impact.
Limitations and Best Practices
• Market-Specific Tuning – Thinly traded markets may require adjustments to dip percentage and volume thresholds to avoid excessive signals.
• Complementary Tools – Combine the CTM with price action, support/resistance levels, or order flow analysis to confirm signals and avoid over-reliance on the indicator.
• Event Risk – Be cautious during high-impact news events, as volatility spikes may trigger signals that are quickly reversed.
• Trend Filter Use – Enabling the trend filter reduces false dip signals in bearish markets but may delay entries in rapidly reversing markets.
Conclusion
The Composite Trend Trader Module consolidates trend-following, dip-buying, and strength assessment into a single, customizable indicator. By providing clear visual cues, actionable alerts, and flexible settings, it equips traders with a robust framework for navigating various market conditions. While the proprietary calculations remain protected, the CTM’s outputs enable traders to make informed decisions, align strategies with market regimes, and manage risk effectively. Use it as a strategic tool alongside sound risk management and complementary analysis for optimal results.
Two assets correlation trackerHi, I made this simple script to see how two correlated assets are actually performing short-term. The idea comes from correlation between BTC and ETH that that usually stands 0.9 (Pearson's correlation). However Pearson's correlation doesn't indicate the relative price difference and cannot be used trading correlation when used alone.
My approach is simple - we can select the date/time from which we will start tracking the price change, and instead of tracking the price, we track 100 USD worth of BTC and ETH and how this investment perform. This gives us the price difference relative to a point in the near future, I would suggest using latest trend shift, for example.
On example of how this can be used: If we see that BTC is falling slower than ETH since trend shift, we can long BTC and short ETH in equal parts and expect to gain from the difference while hedging potential loss.
Ultimate Scalping Strategy v2Strategy Overview
This is a versatile scalping strategy designed primarily for low timeframes (like 1-min, 3-min, or 5-min charts). Its core logic is based on a classic EMA (Exponential Moving Average) crossover system, which is then filtered by the VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price) to confirm the trade's direction in alignment with the market's current intraday sentiment.
The strategy is highly customizable, allowing traders to add layers of confirmation, control trade direction, and manage exits with precision.
Core Strategy Logic
The strategy's entry signals are generated when two primary conditions are met simultaneously:
Momentum Shift (EMA Crossover): It looks for a crossover between a fast EMA (default length 9) and a slow EMA (default length 21).
Buy Signal: The fast EMA crosses above the slow EMA, indicating a potential shift to bullish momentum.
Sell Signal: The fast EMA crosses below the slow EMA, indicating a potential shift to bearish momentum.
Trend/Sentiment Filter (VWAP): The crossover signal is only considered valid if the price is on the "correct" side of the VWAP.
For a Buy Signal: The price must be trading above the VWAP. This confirms that, on average, buyers are in control for the day.
For a Sell Signal: The price must be trading below the VWAP. This confirms that sellers are generally in control.
Confirmation Filters (Optional)
To increase the reliability of the signals and reduce false entries, the strategy includes two optional confirmation filters:
Price Action Filter (Engulfing Candle): If enabled (Use Price Action), the entry signal is only valid if the crossover candle is also an "engulfing" candle.
A Bullish Engulfing candle is a large green candle that completely "engulfs" the body of the previous smaller red candle, signaling strong buying pressure.
A Bearish Engulfing candle is a large red candle that engulfs the previous smaller green candle, signaling strong selling pressure.
Volume Filter (Volume Spike): If enabled (Use Volume Confirmation), the entry signal must be accompanied by a surge in volume. This is confirmed if the volume of the entry candle is greater than its recent moving average (default 20 periods). This ensures the move has strong participation behind it.
Exit Strategy
A position can be closed in one of three ways, creating a comprehensive exit plan:
Stop Loss (SL): A fixed stop loss is set at a level determined by a multiple of the Average True Range (ATR). For example, a 1.5 multiplier places the stop 1.5 times the current ATR value away from the entry price. This makes the stop dynamic, adapting to market volatility.
Take Profit (TP): A fixed take profit is also set using an ATR multiplier. By setting the TP multiplier higher than the SL multiplier (e.g., 2.0 for TP vs. 1.5 for SL), the strategy aims for a positive risk-to-reward ratio on each trade.
Exit on Opposite Signal (Reversal): If enabled, an open position will be closed automatically if a valid entry signal in the opposite direction appears. For example, if you are in a long trade and a valid short signal occurs, the strategy will exit the long position immediately. This feature turns the strategy into more of a reversal system.
Key Features & Customization
Trade Direction Control: You can enable or disable long and short trades independently using the Allow Longs and Allow Shorts toggles. This is useful for trading in harmony with a higher-timeframe trend (e.g., only allowing longs in a bull market).
Visual Plots: The strategy plots the Fast EMA, Slow EMA, and VWAP on the chart for easy visualization of the setup. It also plots up/down arrows to mark where valid buy and sell signals occurred.
Dynamic SL/TP Line Plotting: A standout feature is that the strategy automatically draws the exact Stop Loss and Take Profit price lines on the chart for every active trade. These lines appear when a trade is entered and disappear as soon as it is closed, providing a clear visual of your risk and reward targets.
Alerts: The script includes built-in alertcondition calls. This allows you to create alerts in TradingView that can notify you on your phone or execute trades automatically via a webhook when a long or short signal is generated.

Performance Considerations: Processing data from up to 30 external securities may impact chart loading speed or cause timeouts during periods of high TradingView server load. Users experiencing performance issues should consider reducing the number of enabled pairs.
Leverage Calculations: Leverage adjustments are mathematical projections that assume linear scaling, which may not reflect actual leveraged trading mechanics including margin requirements, funding costs, liquidation risks, and exchange-specific policies.
Market Data Dependencies: Cryptocurrency prices and volatility can vary significantly between exchanges. The indicator's data sources may not represent the specific exchange or trading pair you use, and some feeds may experience gaps or delays during maintenance periods.
Ranking Relativity: Heat map rankings are relative to the enabled pair universe. Rankings will change based on which pairs are monitored and their current market conditions, making absolute interpretations less meaningful than relative comparisons.
Educational Value
This indicator helps traders develop understanding of relative volatility patterns across cryptocurrency markets and the mathematical impact of leverage on risk metrics. The heat map system provides intuitive visualization of market dynamics, helping users identify which assets are experiencing unusual activity relative to their peers.
The tool serves as an educational platform for understanding advanced volatility measurement techniques, relative ranking systems, and multi-asset risk assessment concepts that are crucial for professional cryptocurrency trading and portfolio management.
Performance and Compatibility
The indicator is optimized for cryptocurrency markets but can be adapted to other volatile asset classes by modifying the symbol inputs. Security request limits may occasionally affect data availability, particularly when multiple indicators requesting external data are used simultaneously on the same chart.
The heat map rendering system is designed for efficiency, updating color mappings only when ranking changes occur rather than on every price tick, ensuring smooth chart performance even when monitoring the full 30-pair universe.
Risk Disclaimer: This indicator is designed for educational and analytical purposes only. Volatility calculations are estimates based on historical price data and proprietary mathematical models that are not disclosed. Results do not constitute trading advice or predictions of future price movements. Users should conduct independent analysis to evaluate the indicator's effectiveness before making trading decisions.
Leveraged trading involves substantial risk of loss and may not be suitable for all investors. Always conduct thorough research and consider consulting with qualified financial professionals before making leveraged trading decisions. Cryptocurrency markets are highly volatile and can result in significant losses. Past volatility patterns do not guarantee future market behavior.
This indicator is compatible with all TradingView chart types and timeframes. It is specifically designed for cryptocurrency markets using proprietary algorithms optimized for digital asset volatility characteristics.

📊 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Market Regime Detection Philosophy:
The system continuously monitors market structure through volatility analysis and directional strength measurements. Rather than applying fixed thresholds, it creates dynamic response profiles that adjust the strategy's sensitivity, timing, and filtering based on the current market environment.
Adaptive Parameter Concept:
All strategy components modify their behavior based on regime classification. Volume requirements become more or less stringent, momentum thresholds shift to match market character, and exit timing adjusts to prevent whipsaws in different market conditions.
Entry Conditions (Both Long/Short):
McGinley trend alignment (close vs trend line)
Hull MA slope confirmation with ATR-normalized strength
Adaptive CCI above/below regime-specific thresholds
RMI momentum confirmation (>50 for long, <50 for short)
Volume spike exceeding regime-adjusted threshold
Regime-specific additional filters
Exit Strategy:
Dual take-profit system (2% and 4% default, customizable)
Momentum weakness detection (CCI reversal)
Trend breakdown (close below/above McGinley line)
Regime-specific urgency multipliers for faster exits in choppy markets

🎯 WHY THIS ISN'T JUST AN INDICATOR MASHUP
Integrated Adaptation Framework: Unlike scripts that simply combine multiple indicators with static settings, this system creates a unified intelligence layer where each component influences and adapts to the others. The McGinley trend baseline doesn't just provide signals - it dynamically adjusts its sensitivity based on market regime detection. The momentum components modify their thresholds based on trend strength analysis.
Feedback Loop Architecture: The strategy incorporates a closed-loop learning system where recent performance influences future parameter selection. This creates evolution rather than static rule application. Most indicator combinations lack this adaptive learning capability.
Contextual Decision Making: Rather than treating each signal independently, the system uses contextual analysis where the same technical setup may generate different responses based on the current market regime. A momentum signal in a trending market triggers different behavior than the identical signal in choppy conditions.
Unified Risk Management: The regime detection doesn't just affect entries - it creates a comprehensive risk framework that adjusts exit timing, cooldown periods, and position management based on market character. This holistic approach distinguishes it from simple indicator stacking.
Custom Implementation Depth: Each component uses proprietary implementations (custom McGinley calculation, zero-lag CCI smoothing, enhanced RMI) rather than standard built-in functions, creating a cohesive algorithmic ecosystem rather than disconnected indicator outputs.
Custom Functions:
mcginley(): Proprietary implementation of McGinley Dynamic MA
rmi(): Enhanced Relative Momentum Index with custom parameters
zlema(): Zero-lag EMA for CCI smoothing
Regime classification algorithms with multi-factor analysis
Performance Optimizations:
Efficient variable management with proper scoping
Minimal repainting through careful historical referencing
Optimized calculations to prevent timeout issues
Memory-efficient tracking systems
Alert System:
JSON-formatted messages for API integration
Dynamic symbol/exchange substitution
Separate entry/exit/TP alert conditions
Customizable message formatting

Advanced Forex Currency Strength Meter
# Advanced Forex Currency Strength Meter
🚀 The Ultimate Currency Strength Analysis Tool for Forex Traders
This sophisticated indicator measures and compares the relative strength of major currencies (EUR, GBP, USD, JPY, CHF, CAD, AUD, NZD) to help you identify the strongest and weakest currencies in real-time, providing clear trading signals based on currency strength differentials.
## 📊 What This Indicator Does
The Advanced Forex Currency Strength Meter analyzes currency relationships across 28+ major forex pairs and 8 currency indices to determine which currencies are gaining or losing strength. Instead of relying on individual pair analysis, this tool gives you a bird's-eye view of the entire forex market, helping you:
Identify the strongest and weakest currencies at any given time
Find high-probability trading opportunities by pairing strong vs weak currencies
Avoid ranging markets by detecting when currencies have similar strength
Get clear LONG/SHORT/NEUTRAL signals for your current trading pair
Optimize your trading strategy based on your preferred timeframe and holding period
## ⚙️ How The Indicator Works

Titan Wick Zone IndicatorThe Titan Wick Zone Indicator visually highlights the upper and lower wick regions of each candlestick on your chart, helping traders instantly identify areas where price was aggressively rejected (top wick) or absorbed (bottom wick). The indicator fills the area above the candle body to the wick high in red (sell zone), and the area below the candle body to the wick low in green (buy zone), both with adjustable opacity for clear visibility.
How to Use:
Spot Rejection and Absorption:
The red-filled upper wick zone marks where upward price moves were sharply rejected by sellers, often indicating supply, resistance, or “stop hunt” zones.
The green-filled lower wick zone marks where downward price moves were absorbed by buyers, pointing to potential demand, support, or accumulation zones.
Enhance Price Action Analysis:
Use these zones to avoid entering trades at price extremes, spot potential reversals, and find areas of confluence with support/resistance, Fibonacci levels, or order blocks.
Risk Management:
The indicator helps visualize where liquidity hunts or false breakouts may occur, so you can better place stop losses outside of volatile wick zones.
Ideal For:
Price action traders, scalpers, and swing traders seeking a visual edge in spotting supply/demand dynamics, liquidity zones, and wick-driven traps.
