Delta AO + Regular AO (Normalized)🔀 Delta AO + Regular AO (Normalized) – Visualizing Market moods becomes simpler 🔀
🧠 Introduction
The Delta AO + Regular AO (Normalized) is a custom oscillator that fuses the power of classic momentum analysis with volume-derived delta flow to give traders a dual-perspective edge.
This tool was born from a need to better visualize internal market thrust (via delta) while still respecting the time-tested signal power of the traditional Awesome Oscillator (AO).
🔍 What makes it unique?
✅ Volume-based Delta Calculation – Models upward/downward delta using a custom volatility-weighted volume allocation method, not simple tick-delta or raw buys/sells.
✅ Cumulative Delta Candles – Instead of just plotting bars, the indicator rebuilds the market structure using cumulative delta logic.
✅ Dual AO Display – Shows both custom delta AO and traditional price AO simultaneously.
✅ Normalized Scaling – Each AO is independently normalized by its standard deviation (volatility-adjusted), making both indicators visually comparable without distortion.
🧮 Under the Hood
Let’s break down the components:
1. Delta Logic 📊
Rather than using raw delta or tick-level data, this script simulates net effort:
Delta Up = Volume × a smart weighting when the candle is bullish
Delta Down = Volume × weighting when the candle is bearish
The weighting dynamically adjusts based on candle body-to-wick ratio. This provides a more refined delta estimate based on candle structure.
This delta is accumulated (cumulative delta) and used to form a synthetic OHLC candle structure.
2. AO Calculations ⚖️
Custom AO: Calculated from the median of synthetic delta candles
Regular AO: Classic (median price 5-period SMA - 34-period SMA)
Both are normalized using their own 34-bar standard deviation, improving comparability and visualization in one pane.
3. Color Coding 🎨
For the delta AO histogram:
Lime: Bullish + Increasing Momentum
Green: Bullish + Weakening Momentum
Red: Bearish + Increasing Momentum (to the downside)
Maroon: Bearish + Weakening Momentum
This lets you immediately spot momentum shifts and strength behind volume-based moves.
📈 How to Use – Trading Guide
🔧 Recommended Setup:
Timeframe: Works well on all intraday and higher timeframes (5m–1D)
Symbol: Especially effective on liquid instruments (futures, indices, large caps)
✅ Entry Signals
🔹 Buy Setup
Delta AO turns green or lime above zero, and Regular AO is also rising
Ideal confirmation: Lime bar (strong bullish delta momentum) and a crossover above zero
🔹 Sell Setup
Delta AO turns maroon or red below zero, and Regular AO is also falling
Ideal confirmation: Red bar (strong bearish delta momentum) and AO falling further below zero
🔄 Momentum Confirmation
Look for divergence between the Delta AO and Regular AO.
🔼 If Delta AO is rising but Regular AO is flat or falling → Volume is leading price (possible breakout ahead)
🔽 If Regular AO is strong but Delta AO fades → Price may be unsustainable (fakeout risk)
🛑 Exit / Reversal Clues
Sudden color shifts (e.g., Lime → Green → Maroon) can signal momentum exhaustion
Both AOs converging to zero suggests consolidation phase ahead
📌 Pro Tips
Use this with volume profile, support/resistance, or market structure zones for maximum confluence
Works great as a secondary confirmation tool for your existing strategy
💬 Final Thoughts
This oscillator is not just a pretty double AO — it's a strategic fusion of price and volume time-series designed to help you anticipate shifts before they’re obvious in price alone.
If you're looking for:
A modernized AO
Volume-integrated signal clarity
Normalized, noise-filtered momentum visual
Then this tool belongs in your chart arsenal.
📈 Try it. Test it. Pair it. If you find value, consider sharing or following for more next-gen indicators.
Please note this is an educational idea and past performance is not assurance of future performance.
Happy trading!

WAD LineThis is Williams Advance Decline Line as proposed in the book, Technical Analysis from A to Z by Steven B. Achelis. I have tweaked it slightly, or you might say updated it. It works like OBV, but is more responsive to the price volatility.
MissedPrice Volume Method[KiomarsRakei]█ Core Concept:
This script detects price zones that are highly likely to be revisited — areas where price moved too quickly to fully fill market activity. Using sharp volume shifts and volatility filters, the script identifies these “missed” levels and generates signals pointing toward them.
Signals are generated before price reaches the zone, allowing you to analyze price behavior both before and after the zone is touched. These zones often act like magnets for price, making them ideal for short-term.
Examples of signals and high hit rate of Missed zones
█ How It Works:
The script monitors 3-candle volume and price behavior to detect moments where volume accelerates abnormally compared to recent averages. When a potential missed zone is found and price hasn’t revisited it yet, a signal is created in advance, pointing to that zone as a likely future target.
█ Features:
Zone Visualization: Dynamic boxes show price targets based on missed volume areas.
Pre-Zone Signals: Alerts fire before price returns, offering early trade setups.
Stat Tracking System: Automatically logs signals, win rate, and average profit.
Live Performance Table: On-chart stats including hit/miss breakdown and late-return analysis.
Works on All Markets: Compatible with any chart that provides volume — crypto, forex, indices, or stocks.
A signal is considered successful when price touches the zone. However, not all zones are guaranteed to be revisited.
█ Key Inputs & Stats Table:
Volume Filters: Control signal sensitivity using min/max relative volume shift.
Zone & Line Settings: Adjust how long the zone stays visible and whether entry lines are drawn.
Custom Colors: Choose colors for buy/sell zones, lines, and visuals.
📊 Table Metrics:
Total Signals: Count of all generated signals.
Win Rate: % of signals where price returned to the zone (hit = touched the zone, regardless of timing).
Bad Signals: Signals that took too long to hit or were never hit.
Bad but Hit: Signals marked bad but eventually touched the zone.
Bad signals are marked in red. These indicate zones that price failed to reach within the expected time window, showing where the script identified a target that remained unfulfilled.
Volume Alertit gives big move for the day, it gives the volume pop ups so that you can see the big moves
WaveNode [ParadoxAlgo]WaveNode is an open-source, multi-framework breakout tool that blends Donchian highs/lows, Bollinger-band volatility, volume spikes and an ATR buffer into one clean visual package. It ships with five one-click “Trading Style” presets (Scalping → Long-Term Investing) so users can drop it on any chart, pick a style, and immediately see context-aware breakout triangles and adaptive channels—no manual tuning required.
What the Indicator does
WaveNode tracks the previous bar’s highest high and lowest low to build a Donchian envelope, wraps price in a two-sigma Bollinger shell to gauge contraction/expansion, then confirms breakouts only when:
• Price closes beyond the prior Donchian extreme plus an ATR % buffer.
• Volume exceeds its moving-average × style-specific multiplier.
• Volatility is expanding (current BB width > its own average).
When all filters line up, a blue (bull) or red (bear) triangle prints on the bar. The channel body is softly filled with a neutral gradient so signals stay visible against any theme.
Inputs & presets
Trading Style
Scalping · Day Trading · Swing Trading · Short-Term Investing · Long-Term Investing
Dropdown auto-loads lengths, multipliers and buffers for the chosen horizon.
All other parameters are hard-coded inside each preset to keep the UI minimal; feel free to fork the code and expose more sliders if you prefer.
How to read it
1. Wait for expansion – when the shaded channel widens after a squeeze, conditions ripen for a move.
2. Watch the triangles – a triangle marks the bar where price, volume and volatility align.
3. Use your own risk plan – WaveNode is a signal generator, not a complete trading system.
Risk & compliance
WaveNode is released for educational purposes only. It does not provide financial advice or guarantees of future results. Always back-test and forward-test on demo before risking real capital. By using WaveNode you accept full responsibility for all trading decisions—past performance is not indicative of future returns.
Volume RSI - VRSIIntroduction:
This oscillator uses the RSI formula, but instead of calculating based on the difference between candle closes, it utilizes volume data. This allows users to identify divergences between volume and price.
Compared to the traditional RSI, it reacts faster, but may not be as precise—making it most effective when used alongside the standard RSI.
How you use this oscillator depends entirely on your strategy and trading approach.
I recommend analyzing this oscillator together with the classic RSI to gain a better understanding and improve your market insight.
Features:
Ability to display reverse divergences
Option to add a traditional RSI with a custom length
Ability to choose which RSI to smooth
Option to toggle the visibility of either RSI

Dynamic Liquidity Depth [BigBeluga]
Dynamic Liquidity Depth
A liquidity mapping engine that reveals hidden zones of market vulnerability. This tool simulates where potential large concentrations of stop-losses may exist — above recent highs (sell-side) and below recent lows (buy-side) — by analyzing real price behavior and directional volume. The result is a dynamic two-sided volume profile that highlights where price is most likely to gravitate during liquidation events, reversals, or engineered stop hunts.
🔵 KEY FEATURES
Two-Sided Liquidity Profiles:
Plots two separate profiles on the chart — one above price for potential sell-side liquidity , and one below price for potential buy-side liquidity . Each profile reflects the volume distribution across binned zones derived from historical highs and lows.
Real Stop Zone Simulation:
Each profile is offset from the current high or low using an ATR-based buffer. This simulates where traders might cluster their stop-losses above swing highs (short stops) or below swing lows (long stops).
Directional Volume Analysis:
Buy-side volume is accumulated only from bullish candles (close > open), while sell-side volume is accumulated only from bearish candles (close < open). This directional filtering enhances accuracy by capturing genuine pressure zones.
Dynamic Volume Heatmap:
Each liquidity bin is rendered as a horizontal box with a color gradient based on volume intensity:
- Low activity bins are shaded lightly.
- High-volume zones appear more vividly in red (sell) or lime (buy).
- The maximum volume bin in each profile is emphasized with a brighter fill and a volume label.
Extended POC Zones:
The Point of Control (PoC) — the bin with the most volume — is extended backwards across the entire lookback period to mark critical resistance (sell-side) or support (buy-side) levels.
Total Volume Summary Labels:
At the center of each profile, a summary label displays Total Buy Liquidity and Total Sell Liquidity volume.
This metric helps assess directional imbalance — when buy liquidity is dominant, the market may favor upward continuation, and vice versa.
Customizable Profile Granularity:
You can fine-tune both Resolution (Bins) and Offset Distance to adjust how far profiles are displaced from price and how many levels are calculated within the ATR range.
🔵 HOW IT WORKS
The indicator calculates an ATR-based buffer above highs and below lows to define the top and bottom of the liquidity zones.
Using a user-defined lookback period, it scans historical candles and divides the buffered zones into bins.
Each bin checks if bullish (or bearish) candles pass through it based on price wicks and body.
Volume from valid candles is summed into the corresponding bin.
When volume exists in a bin, a horizontal box is drawn with a width scaled by relative volume strength.
The bin with the highest volume is highlighted and optionally extended backward as a zone of importance.
Total buy/sell liquidity is displayed with a summary label at the side of the profile.
🔵 USAGE/b]
Identify Stop Hunt Zones: High-volume clusters near swing highs/lows are likely liquidation zones targeted during fakeouts.
Fade or Follow Reactions: Price hitting a high-volume bin may reverse (fade opportunity) or break with strength (confirmation breakout).
Layer with Other Tools: Combine with market structure, order blocks, or trend filters to validate entries near liquidity.
Adjust Offset for Sensitivity: Use higher offset to simulate wider stop placement; use lower for tighter scalping zones.
🔵 CONCLUSION
Dynamic Liquidity Depth transforms raw price and volume into a spatial map of liquidity. By revealing areas where stop orders are likely hidden, it gives traders insight into price manipulation zones, potential reversal levels, and breakout traps. Whether you're hunting for traps or trading with the flow, this tool equips you to navigate liquidity with precision.
Institutional Support/Resistance Locator🏛️ Institutional Support/Resistance Locator
Overview
The Institutional Support/Resistance Locator identifies high-probability demand and supply zones based on strong price rejection, large candle bodies, and elevated volume . These zones are commonly targeted or defended by institutional participants, helping traders anticipate potential reversal or continuation areas.
⸻
How It Works
The indicator uses a confluence of conditions to detect zones:
• Large Body Candles: Body size must exceed the moving average body size multiplied by a user-defined factor.
• High Volume: Volume must exceed the moving average volume by a configurable multiplier.
• Wick Rejection: Candles must show strong upper or lower wicks indicating aggressive rejection.
• If all criteria are met:
• Bullish candles form a Demand Zone.
• Bearish candles form a Supply Zone.
Each zone is plotted for a customizable number of future bars, representing areas where institutions may re-engage with the market.
⸻
Key Features
• ✅ Highlights institutional demand and supply areas dynamically
• ✅ Customizable sensitivity: body, volume, wick, padding, and zone extension
• ✅ Zones plotted as translucent regions with auto-expiry
• ✅ Works across all timeframes and markets
⸻
How to Use
• Trend Traders: Use demand zones for potential bounce entries in uptrends, and supply zones for pullback short entries in downtrends.
• Range Traders: Use zones as potential reversal points inside sideways market structures.
• Scalpers & Intraday Traders: Combine with volume or price action near zones for refined entries.
Always validate zone reactions with supporting indicators or price behavior.
⸻
Why This Combination?
The combination of wick rejection, volume confirmation, and large candle structure is designed to reflect footprints of smart money. Rather than relying on fixed pivots or subjective zones, this logic adapts to the current market context with statistically grounded conditions.
⸻
Why It’s Worth Using
This tool offers traders a structured way to interpret institutional activity on charts without relying on guesswork. By plotting potential high-impact areas, it helps improve reaction time.
⸻
Note :
• This script is open-source and non-commercial.
• No performance guarantees or unrealistic claims are made.
• It is intended for educational and analytical purposes only.

Aggregated Open Interest [Alpha Extract]The Aggregated Open Interest indicator provides a comprehensive view of open interest across multiple cryptocurrency exchanges, allowing traders to monitor institutional positioning and market sentiment. By aggregating data from major exchanges like Binance, BitMEX, and Kraken, this indicator offers valuable insights into potential price movements and market shifts.
🔶 CALCULATION
The indicator processes open interest data through multiple analytical methods:
Exchange Aggregation: Collects and normalizes open interest data from multiple exchanges (Binance, BitMEX, Kraken) with proper currency normalization.
Multi-Mode Analysis: Calculates various metrics including raw open interest values, OI change, OI delta, volume-weighted delta, and OI RSI.
Divergence Detection: Uses pivot point analysis to identify divergences between price action and open interest movements.
Activity Assessment: Tracks bullish and bearish activity patterns by correlating open interest changes with price movements.
Formula:
Aggregate OI = Sum of normalized open interest from selected exchanges
OI Change = Current OI - Previous OI
OI Delta = Net change in open interest across timeframes
OI Delta × Volume = OI Delta weighted by relative volume
OI RSI = Relative Strength Index applied to open interest values
OI Heatmap = Multi-timeframe visualization of OI changes across 7 distinct periods
🔶 DETAILS
Visual Features:
Open Interest: Candlestick representation of aggregated open interest
OI Change: Histogram showing period-to-period changes
OI Delta: Histogram displaying net OI movements
OI Delta × Volume: Volume-weighted OI delta for enhanced signals
OI RSI: Oscillator showing overbought/oversold OI conditions
OI Heatmap: Multi-timeframe visualization showing OI changes across 7 periods (3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, and 55 days)
Divergence Detection: Color-coded markers (teal for bullish, red for bearish) highlighting significant divergences between price and open interest
Analysis Table: Real-time summary of key metrics including aggregate OI, recent changes, and bullish/bearish activity.
Interpretation:
Increasing Open Interest + Rising Price: Strong bullish trend confirmation
Increasing Open Interest + Falling Price: Strong bearish trend confirmation
Decreasing Open Interest + Rising Price: Weak bullish trend (potential reversal)
Decreasing Open Interest + Falling Price: Weak bearish trend (potential reversal)
Divergences: Signal potential trend exhaustion and reversals when price moves in one direction while open interest moves in the opposite direction
Heatmap: Provides at-a-glance insight into open interest trends across multiple timeframes, with green bars indicating rising OI and red bars indicating falling OI
🔶 EXAMPLES
Trend Confirmation: Rising open interest accompanying a price increase confirms strong bullish momentum with institutional backing.
Example: During January-February 2025, rising OI during price advances confirms institutional participation in the uptrend.
Bearish Divergence: Price makes a higher high while open interest makes a lower high, signaling potential trend reversal.
Example: Red markers appear at market tops where price continues higher but open interest fails to confirm, preceding significant corrections.
Bullish Divergence : Price makes a lower low while open interest makes a higher low, indicating potential bottoming.
Example: Teal markers appear at market bottoms where price continues lower but open interest fails to confirm, preceding significant rallies.
OI Heatmap Analysis : Multiple timeframes showing consistent red signals across short to long-term periods indicate strong institutional selling pressure.
Example: When all 7 periods (3-55 days) show red during a price uptrend, this signals institutional selling into retail strength, often preceding major corrections.

The addition of the OI Heatmap feature enables traders to quickly visualize open interest trends across multiple timeframes, providing valuable context for institutional positioning over different market cycles.
CYCLE BY RiotWolftradingDescription of the "CYCLE" Indicator
The "CYCLE" indicator is a custom Pine Script v5 script for TradingView that visualizes cyclic patterns in price action, dividing the trading day into specific sessions and 90-minute quarters (Q1-Q4). It is designed to identify and display market phases (Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution, and Continuation/Reversal) along with key support and resistance levels within those sessions. Additionally, it allows customization of boxes, lines, labels, and colors to suit user preferences.
Main Features
Cycle Phases:
Accumulation (1900-0100): Represents the phase where large operators accumulate positions.
Manipulation (0100-0700): Identifies potential manipulative moves to mislead retail traders.
Distribution (0700-1300): The phase where large operators distribute their positions.
Continuation/Reversal (1300-1900): Indicates whether the price continues the trend or reverses.
90-Minute Quarters (Q1-Q4):
Divides each 6-hour cycle (360 minutes) into four 90-minute quarters (Q1: 00:00-01:30, Q2: 01:30-03:00, Q3: 03:00-04:30, Q4: 04:30-06:00 UTC).
Each quarter is displayed with a colored box (Q1: light purple, Q2: light blue, Q3: light gray, Q4: light pink) and labels (defaulted to black).
Support and Resistance Visualization:
Draws boxes or lines (based on settings) showing the high and low levels of each session.
Optionally displays accumulated volume at the highs and lows within the boxes.
Daily Lines and Last 3 Boxes:
How to Use the Indicator
Step 1: Add the Indicator to TradingView
Open TradingView and select the chart where you want to apply the indicator (e.g., UMG9OOR on a 5-minute timeframe, as shown in the screenshot).
Go to the Pine Editor (at the bottom of the TradingView interface).
Copy and paste the provided code.
Click Compile and then Add to Chart.
Step 2: Configure the Indicator
Click on the indicator name on the chart ("CYCLE") and select Settings (or double-click the name).
Adjust the options based on your needs:
Cycle Phases: Enable/disable phases (Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution, Continuation/Reversal) and adjust their time slots if needed.
90-Minute Quarters: Enable/disable quarters (Q1-Q4).
Step 3: Interpret the Indicator
Identify Cycle Phases:
Observe the red boxes indicating the phases (Accumulation, Manipulation, etc.).
The high and low levels within each phase are potential support/resistance zones.
If volume is enabled, pay attention to the accumulated volume at highs and lows, as it may indicate the strength of those levels.
Use the 90-Minute Quarters (Q1-Q4):
The colored boxes (Q1-Q4) divide the day into 90-minute segments.
Each quarter shows the price range (high and low) during that period.
Use these boxes to identify price patterns within each quarter, such as breakouts or consolidations.
The labels (Q1, Q2, etc.) help you track time and anticipate potential moves in the next quarter.
Analyze Support and Resistance:
The high and low levels of each phase/quarter act as support and resistance.
Daily lines (if enabled) show key levels from the previous day, useful for planning entries/exits.
The "last 3 boxes below price" (if enabled) highlight potential support levels the price might target.
Avoid Manipulation:
During the Manipulation phase (0100-0700), be cautious of sharp moves or false breakouts.
Use the high/low levels of this phase to identify potential traps (as explained in your first question about manipulation candles).
Step 4: Trading Strategy
Entries and Exits:
Support/Resistance: Use the high/low levels of phases and quarters to set entry or exit points.
For example, if the price bounces off a Q1 support level, consider a buy.
Breakouts: If the price breaks a high/low of a quarter (e.g., Q2), wait for confirmation to enter in the direction of the breakout.
Volume: If accumulated volume is high near a key level, that level may be more significant.
Risk Management:
Place stop-loss orders below lows (for buys) or above highs (for sells) identified by the indicator.
Avoid trading during the Manipulation phase unless you have a specific strategy to handle false breakouts.
Time Context:
Use the quarters (Q1-Q4) to plan your trades based on time. For example, if Q3 is typically volatile in your market, prepare for larger moves between 03:00-04:30 UTC.
Step 5: Adjustments and Testing
Test on Different Timeframes: The indicator is set for a 5-minute timeframe (as in the screenshot), but you can test it on other timeframes (e.g., 1-minute, 15-minute) by adjusting the time slots if needed.
Adjust Colors and Styles: If the default colors are not visible on your chart, change them for better clarity.
---
📌 1. **Accumulation: Strong Institutional Activity**
- During the **accumulation phase, we see **high volume: 82.773K, which suggests strong buying interest**, likely from institutional players.
- This sets the base for the following upward move in price.
---
📌 2. **Manipulation: False Breakout with Lower Volume**
- Later, there's a manipulation phase where price breaks above previous highs, but the volume (71.814K) is **lower than during accumulation**.
- This implies that buyers are not as aggressive as before—no real demandbehind the breakout.
- It’s likely a bull trap, where smart money is selling into the breakout to exit their positions.
---
### 📌 3. Distribution: Weakness and Lack of Demand
- The market enters a distribution phase, and volume drops even further (only 7.914K).
- Price struggles to go higher, and you start seeing rejections at the top.
- This shows that demand is drying up, and smart money is offloading positions**—not accumulating anymore.
---
### 💡 Why Take the Short Here?
- Volume is not increasing with new highs—showing weak demand**.
- The manipulation volume is weaker than the accumulation volume, confirming the breakout was likely false.
- Structure starts to break down (Q levels falling), which confirms weakness.
- This creates a high-probability short setup:
- **Entry:** after confirmation of distribution and structural breakdown.
- **Stop loss:** above the manipulation high.
- **Target:** down toward previous lows or value zones.
---
### ✅ Conclusion
Since the manipulation volume failed to exceed the accumulation volume, the breakout lacked real strength. Combined with decreasing volume in the distribution phase, this indicates fading demand and supply taking control—which justifies entering a short position.

Alert Messages:
Alert messages contain critical information formatted for quick analysis:
- Symbol and timeframe
- Current price and RSI value with direction indicator
- Volume metrics: z-score, deviation percentage, and statistical confidence
- Trading context suggestion
Statistical Methodology:
- Z-Score: Measures how many standard deviations the current volume is from the mean
- P-Value: Statistical measure of significance (lower values = more significant)
- Confidence: Displayed as a percentage (higher = more confidence in the signal)
- Volume Deviation: Percentage above/below the average volume
Best Practices
1. Confirm signals with price action or other indicators
2. Higher timeframes typically produce more reliable signals
3. Use the statistical confidence percentage to gauge signal strength
4. Most powerful signals occur when exhaustion signals coincide with key support/resistance levels and there a quarter or more wick size at top of candle(buying exhaustion) or at bottom of candle (selling exhaustion)
WhispererRealtimeVolumeLibrary "WhispererRealtimeVolume"
▮ Overview
The Whisperer Realtime Volume Library is a lightweight and reusable Pine Script® library designed for real-time volume analysis.
It calculates up, down, and neutral volumes dynamically, making it an essential tool for traders who want to gain deeper insights into market activity.
This library is a simplified and modular version of the original "Realtime Volume Bars w Market Buy/Sell/Neutral split & Mkt Delta" indicator by the_MarketWhisperer , tailored for integration into custom scripts.
How bars are classified
- Up Bars
If the current bar’s closing price is higher than the previous bar’s closing price, it is classified as an up bar.
Volume handling:
The increase in volume for this bar is added to the up volume.
This represents buying pressure.
- Down Bars
If the current bar’s closing price is lower than the previous bar’s closing price, it is classified as a down bar.
Volume handling:
The increase in volume for this bar is added to the down volume.
This represents selling pressure.
- Neutral Bars
If the current bar’s closing price is the same as the previous bar’s closing price, it is classified as a neutral bar.
Volume handling:
If neutral volume is enabled, the volume is added to the neutral volume.
If neutral volume is not enabled, the volume is assigned to the same direction as the previous bar (up or down). If the previous direction is unknown, it is added to the neutral volume.
▮ What to look for
Real-Time Volume Calculation : Analyze up, down, and neutral volumes in real-time based on price movements and bar volume.
Customizable Start Line : Add a visual reference line to your chart for better context by viewing the starting point of real-time bars.
Ease of Integration : Designed as a library for seamless use in other Pine Script® indicators or strategies.

Stablecoin Supply Ratio [Alpha Extract]Stablecoin Supply Ratio Indicator
The Stablecoin Supply Ratio (SSR) indicator compares Bitcoin's market capitalization to the aggregate supply of major stablecoins, offering insights into relative purchasing power and liquidity. This tool helps traders:
✔ Assess Bitcoin's buying power relative to the available stablecoin liquidity.
✔ Detect periods of capital inflow or outflow from stablecoins.
✔ Identify market sentiment shifts based on stablecoin reserves.
🔶 CALCULATION
The indicator aggregates the supply of key stablecoins and compares it to Bitcoin's market cap:
Stablecoin Aggregation
• Inputs:
USDT, USDC, DAI, USDD (daily closing values).
BUSD Market Cap (Glassnode data).
• Total Stablecoin Supply:
Sum of the listed stablecoins' market caps.
Stablecoin Supply Ratio (SSR)
• Formula:
SSR = Bitcoin Market Cap / Total Stablecoin Supply
• Normalized SSR:
Normalized by dividing SSR by its 200-day SMA.
Bollinger Bands
• Bands are applied to the normalized SSR using a configurable moving average type and 2 standard deviations.
Example Calculation:
ssr = btcmc / stablecoin_liq
ratio = ssr / ta.sma(ssr, 200)
basis = ta.sma(ratio, 200)
dev = 2 * ta.stdev(ratio, 200)
upper = basis + dev
lower = basis - dev
🔶 DETAILS
Visual Features:
• Normalized SSR:
Plotted as a light green line.
• Upper Band:
Red line indicating SSR overbought zone.
• Lower Band:
Green line signaling SSR oversold zone.
Interpretation:
• High SSR: Indicates stablecoin reserves are low relative to Bitcoin's market cap, reducing stablecoin buying power.
• Low SSR: Suggests high stablecoin liquidity relative to Bitcoin's market cap, increasing potential buying pressure.
• Band Crosses: Movements beyond the upper or lower bands may signal sentiment extremes.
🔶 EXAMPLES
Market insights include:
• Capital Outflows: SSR rising into the upper band may reflect decreasing stablecoin reserves, potentially signaling a liquidity drain.
• Capital Inflows: SSR dropping near the lower band could indicate growing stablecoin reserves, potentially fueling Bitcoin demand.
🔶 SETTINGS
Customization Options:
• MA Type: Choose between SMA, EMA, WMA, SMMA, and VWMA for band calculation.
• Period: Adjust the 200-day smoothing period.
• Deviation Multiplier: Modify the standard deviation multiplier (default: 2).
The Stablecoin Supply Ratio indicator is a valuable tool for traders monitoring liquidity dynamics and stablecoin trends to anticipate Bitcoin market moves and capital flows.

Vacuum Candles [XrayAlgo]The Vacuum Candles indicator helps traders identify inefficient price movements—where the price moves significantly but lacks sufficient volume to support it. These inefficiencies may signal weak trends, potential reversals, or false breakouts/breakdowns.
Inefficient candles are visually marked with a darker / black body to indicate when the price movement is disproportionate to the volume.
1. Spotting Potential Reversals
When the indicator marks an inefficient candle, it signals that the price movement may be unsustainable.
In an uptrend: A inefficient bullish candle suggests that the uptrend is losing momentum, potentially leading to a downward reversal.
In a downtrend: A inefficient bearish candle signals that the downtrend may be weakening, with a potential bullish reversal.
2. Identifying Breakout and Breakdown Failures
This indicator is useful for recognizing false breakouts or false breakdowns.
If price breaks resistance but the candle is inefficient, the breakout may be weak and could fail quickly.
If price breaks support with an inefficient bearish candle, the breakdown could be a false signal, with price reverting back above support.
3. Recognizing Weak Trends
Inefficient candles help you spot when a trend is losing strength and could soon reverse or consolidate.
In an uptrend: A series of dark body bullish candles suggests that the uptrend may be weakening, signaling a potential correction or trend reversal.
In a downtrend: A series of dark body bearish candles suggests that the selling pressure is weakening, indicating a potential bullish reversal.
4. Fine-Tuning Entries and Exits
Inefficient candles offer an opportunity to fine-tune your entries and exits based on weak price moves.
Entering a trade: An inefficient candle near key support or resistance can indicate a reversal, making it a good entry point for a counter-trend position.
Exiting a trade: If you're already in a trend, and an inefficient candle appears, it suggests the trend is losing strength, indicating it may be a good time to exit before a potential reversal.
5. Fine-Tuning with Inputs
The Vacuum Candles indicator includes two key inputs:
Length: The number of candles used to calculate the average price movement and volume. A longer length (e.g., 20-30) smooths out the inefficiencies, while a shorter length (e.g., 10-15) makes the indicator more sensitive to recent price moves.
Multiplier: Controls the threshold for what is considered an inefficient candle:
A higher Multiplier (e.g., 1.5–3) filters out smaller inefficiencies and focuses on large discrepancies.
A lower Multiplier (e.g., 0.1–0.9) captures even smaller inefficiencies in highly efficient markets.

Impulse Volume Oscillator [Alpha Extract]Impulse Volume Oscillator
A sophisticated indicator designed to identify market impulse moves and volume-based momentum shifts, helping traders capture significant price movements with precision.
Combining price deviations with volume analysis, this oscillator dynamically measures market strength and weakness, providing clear signals for potential trend continuations and reversals.
🔶 Volume-Adjusted Normalization
Utilizes a unique normalization technique that incorporates volume impact to enhance signal quality. This approach ensures the indicator responds more strongly to high-volume price movements while filtering out low-volume noise.
vol_ratio = ta.rsi(volume, 14) / 50
vol_factor = vol_impact > 0 ? 1 + (vol_ratio - 1) * vol_impact : 1
raw_normalized = dev / (ta.stdev(source, bars) * mult)
vol_adjusted = raw_normalized * vol_factor
normalized = ta.sma(vol_adjusted, smooth)
🔶 Adaptive Regime Detection
Incorporates threshold-based regime identification that clearly distinguishes between trending and mean-reverting market conditions. The customizable threshold system allows traders to adapt to different market volatilities and timeframes.
🔶 Customizable Parameters
Fine-tune detection sensitivity with adjustable inputs for lookback period, standard deviation multiplier, volume impact, and signal smoothing. These parameters enable traders to optimize the indicator for various trading styles and market conditions.
❓How It Works
🔶 Impulse Calculation
The oscillator measures price deviation from a moving average baseline, normalized by standard deviation, and then adjusts the signal based on relative volume strength. This creates a responsive yet stable indicator that accurately reflects market momentum.
// Calculate the basis using the selected MA
basis = get_ma(source, bars)
// Calculate the normalized value with volume impact
dev = source - basis
🔶 Dynamic Visualization
The histogram changes color based on signal strength, providing instant visual cues about market conditions. Green bars indicate positive momentum while red bars represent negative momentum, with color intensity reflecting signal strength.
🔶 Trend Confirmation
Built-in trend direction analysis provides confluence with the primary signal, helping traders distinguish between counter-trend bounces and genuine trend reversals. This dual-confirmation approach significantly reduces false signals.
🔶 Visual Alerts & Boundary Tracking
Monitors signal extremes and dynamically adjusts visualization transparency based on signal strength. The indicator highlights particularly strong impulse moves with background shading, making potential trading opportunities immediately apparent.
🔶 Custom Candle Coloring
Optional candle coloring applies the same color logic as the histogram directly to price candles, providing a unified visual framework that helps traders correlate indicator signals with price action.
🔶 Momentum Shift Detection
Automatically identifies important zero-line crossovers that often signify the beginning of new impulse moves. These transition points frequently offer favorable risk/reward entry opportunities.

Volume NodesVolume Nodes Indicator:
What This Indicator Does:
The Volume Nodes indicator identifies and visualizes statistically significant volume events on your chart, helping you identify important price levels where substantial trading activity has occurred. Unlike standard volume indicators, Volume Nodes:
Uses statistical analysis (z-scores) to identify truly abnormal volume bars
Calculates accurate buy/sell volume ratios by analyzing all lower timeframe data
Identifies the Volume Point of Control (VPOC) for high volume areas
Visualizes significant volume ranges as they extend across the chart
Tracks when price interacts with these important levels
Key Features:
High Volume Detection: Highlights bars with unusually high volume (z-score above threshold)
Low Volume Detection: Highlights bars with unusually low volume (z-score below threshold)
VPOC Lines: Horizontal lines showing the exact price level with maximum volume concentration
Volume Range Fills: Shaded areas showing the entire price range with significant volume
Accurate Volume Metrics: Shows true buy/sell volume ratios or delta percentages derived from lower timeframe data
How to Use It in Your Trading: **Move to front in the visual order on chart**
Step 1: Identify Important Volume Zones
High Volume Bars (green/red candles) indicate where significant buying or selling has occurred
VPOC Lines extending from these bars show you the exact price level with highest volume
Range Fills show you the entire zone where significant volume occurred
Step 2: Use These Levels for Trading Decisions
Support/Resistance: VPOC lines often act as support or resistance levels
Breakout Validation: Breakouts on high volume are more likely to be valid
Low Volume Warning: Low volume bars (yellow) often indicate indecision or potential reversals
Trading with Volume Flow: Use the buy/sell ratio or delta % to confirm the strength and direction of moves
Step 3: Monitor Price Interaction with Volume Zones
When price approaches a VPOC line, watch for reaction (bounce or breakout)
When price enters a volume range area, increased volatility often follows
When price crosses a VPOC line, the line changes transparency indicating it's been tested
Tips for Optimal Use
Higher Timeframes: The indicator works exceptionally well on higher timeframes (4H, daily, weekly) where volume patterns are more significant
Range Trading: Use volume nodes to identify the boundaries of trading ranges
Combine with Price Action: Look for price action confirmation (rejections, engulfing patterns) at VPOC levels
Multiple Timeframe Analysis: Compare volume nodes across different timeframes to find confluent levels
Alert Setup: Set up alerts for when price enters important volume zones or crosses VPOC lines
Reversal Signals: High volume bars with significant wicks often signal exhaustion points where smart money is transferring positions. Bullish candles with long upper wicks suggest sellers absorbing buying pressure at highs, while bearish candles with long lower wicks indicate buyers stepping in at lows - both potentially signaling momentum shifts that precede reversals.
The indicator is particularly valuable for identifying levels where large players have been active in the market and are likely to defend or act again in the future.
