MissedPrice[KiomarsRakei]█ Overview:
The MissedPrice script identifies price zones based on significant Open Interest shifts (including gaps) aligned with price movements. When sudden market positioning changes occur, the script pinpoints target zones where price is believed to return. Each signal directs you toward these opportunity zones with supporting metrics like Notional Value, Volume Ratio, and Funding Rate timing to help qualify the signals.
█ Core Concept:
Markets frequently "miss" critical price levels during rapid movements. These missed zones occur when:
Orders are revoked during sudden price shifts
Exchanges fail to execute at intended prices
TP/SL orders miss exact execution points
Institutional orders create supply/demand imbalances
Market structure shifts bypass key levels
Liquidity voids form from positioning changes
These missed price zones create natural targets that price tends to revisit. The MissedPrice indicator identifies these zones by analyzing the relationship between Open Interest, Price, and Volume.
█ Closer look at target zones:
Target zones are calculated using the open price where significant OI shifts occur, with zone width adjusted based on the High-Low ratio and ATR to adapt to current volatility. If a zone is touched once after a signal is generated, it is no longer valid. This can be understood as the missing positions and volume having now entered the market.
Each zone's Notional Value (NV) - calculated as OI change multiplied by price - measures the financial impact of the positioning shift. Higher NV indicates more significant market activity and greater liquidity, making price more likely to return to that area. Users can adjust NV ratio thresholds in the inputs to filter signal quality.
█ Features:
Statistical Dashboard: Real-time statistics table showing performance metrics for signals
Funding Rate Visualization: Vertical lines indicate funding rate times to help correlate signals with these significant market events
Alert Capability: Set up alerts for new signals to never miss a trading opportunity
Dynamic Entry Lines: Draws adjustable entry and target level lines to facilitate precise trade execution and measurement, customizable via inputs
█ Closer Look at Statistics Table:
Signal Count: Total numbers of signals generated and total candles included (limited by TradingView's OI historical data)
Win Rate: can be interpreted as the hit rate of target zones. Whenever price reaches the zone, it is calculated as a win, regardless of how far price may have moved in the opposite direction beforehand. This metric measures the script's accuracy in identifying price zones that eventually get revisited.
Total Profit: Calculates possible profit from first entry to target of hit signals - an estimate since humans can't take all signals and might have better entries or average down. By default is turned off can be turned on in the input menu.
Bad Signals: Signals taking too long to complete or moving much further from target
Bad but Hit: Bad signals that eventually hit the target despite early challenges
As you can see in the chart, there are zones that price does not return to touch. There is no guarantee that every identified zone will be reached, which is why the script provides additional qualification metrics to help assess signal probability.
Due to limitations of Open Interest data, you can only use this script on crypto pairs that have Open Interest data available on TradingView. While the script works on any timeframe, it performs best on timeframes less than daily.
█ Best Practices:
Use it in bar replay mode to master the strategy
Try different risk management systems based on how far price goes from the target and your creativity
Use the volume ratio and funding time data to further qualify signals
Notional Value plays a key role

Pivot Levels with EMA Trend📌 Trend Change Levels with EMA Trend
✨ Description:
This TradingView script identifies clean trend change levels based on 1-hour structure shifts and filters them to keep only those not invalidated. It follows the "Jake Ricci" method, each level is printed at the beginning of the candle that changes the trend, on a 1 hour chart. For precision, make sure to exclude after/pre market and only use the levels on regular hours charts.
It includes dynamic EMAs (9, 50, 200), intraday VWAP, the daily open level printed, and a visual trend label based on EMA(9) slope.
Designed for intermediate traders, it helps build bias, manage entries, and avoid false setups by focusing on clean, reactive levels that the market respects.
🔧 Core Logic:
On the 1H chart, the script compares current and previous closes to detect trend direction. If the trend flips (e.g., up to down), the open of the candle that caused the flip becomes a candidate level.
Only levels that remain untouched by future candle closes are plotted — this filters out “weak” levels that price already violated (which means, a candle closes after passing through the level).
These levels become key S/R zones and often act as reaction points during pullbacks, traps, and liquidity sweeps.
The idea is to check how the price reacts to those levels. Usually there's a clean retest of the level. After that, if the price continues in that direction, it tends to reach the following level.
🔹 Included Tools:
🟣 Trend Change Levels (1H):
Fixed horizontal lines based on confirmed shifts in trend, shown only when not broken.
📉 EMAs (9 / 50 / 200):
Visibility can be set per timeframe. Use for trend context.
📍 EMA Trend Label:
Shows \"UP\", \"DOWN\", or \"RANGE\" based on EMA(9) slope.
🔵 VWAP (Intraday Reset):
Real-time volume-weighted average price that resets daily. Useful for fair value zones and reversion plays.
🟠 Daily Open Line:
Plot of the current day’s open. Used for intraday directional bias. Usually: DO NOT take longs below the Open Print, DO NOT take shorts above it.
📊 ATR Table:
Displays current ATR multiplier on the chart. It's useful to understand if the market is expanding or not.
📈 How to Use It (Strategy):
1. Start on the 1H chart to generate levels.
Only the open of candles that reversed trend are considered — and only if future candles didn’t close through them. I suggest manually adding horizontal lines to mark again the levels, so that they stick to all the timeframes.
2. Use the trend label to decide your bias — \"UP\" for long setups, \"DOWN\" for shorts. Avoid trading against the slope.
3. Switch to the 5m chart and wait for price to approach a plotted level. These are often used for manipulation, retests, or clean reversals.
4. Look for confirmation: rejection candles, break-and-retest, strong engulfing candles, or traps above/below the level. ALWAYS check the price action around the level, along with the volume.
5. Check if VWAP or an EMA is near the level. If yes, the confluence strengthens the trade idea.
6. Use the ATR value to understand if the market is expanding (candles are bigger than the ATR). You don't want to stay in a slow and ranging trade.
✅ Example Entry Flow:
1. On the 1H chart, note a trend change level printed recently.
2. Check the current trend label — if it says \"UP,\" prefer longs.
3. Wait for price to retrace toward the level.
4. On the 5m, look for a bullish engulfing candle or trap setup at the level.
5. Check if VWAP and EMA(50) are near. If yes, execute the trade.
6. Set stop just under the low of the candle prior to your entry. Ideally, a retracing candle.
To be clear: imaging to be LONG, you wait for a retracement that should touch your level. You wait for a candle that resumes the LONG trend, enter when it breaks the high of the previous candle (sill in retracement), you place your stop under the candle prior to your entry.
Notes:
No repainting — levels only show up after confirmed shifts.
Removes broken levels for chart clarity and reliability.
Helps spot high-probability pullback zones and fakeouts.
Perfect confluence tool to support price action, SMC, or EMA strategies.
Works across multiple timeframes with customizable inputs.
👤 Ideal For:
Intraday traders looking for reactive entry points and direction confirmation.
Swing traders wanting to pinpoint continuation zones or reversal pivots.
🚨 Final Note: This indicator doesn’t generate buy/sell signals. It improves your trade filtering by identifying areas the market already respected and reacting to them with price action. Combine it with your own system , test it in replay, and use screenshots to document setups.
📌 If used with discipline, this becomes a precision tool — not a signal generator.
VWAP + EMA Retracement Indicator SwiftEdgeVWAP + EMA Retracement Indicator
Overview
The VWAP + EMA Retracement Indicator is a powerful and visually engaging tool designed to help traders identify high-probability buy and sell opportunities in trending markets. By combining the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) with two Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) and a unique retracement-based signal logic, this indicator pinpoints moments when the price pulls back to a key zone before resuming its trend. Its modern, AI-inspired visuals and customizable features make it both intuitive and adaptable for traders of all levels.
What It Does
This indicator generates buy and sell signals based on a sophisticated yet straightforward strategy:
Buy Signals: Triggered when the price is above VWAP, has recently retraced to the zone between two EMAs (default 12 and 21 periods), and a strong bullish candle closes above both EMAs.
Sell Signals: Triggered when the price is below VWAP, has retraced to the EMA zone, and a strong bearish candle closes below both EMAs.
Signal Filtering: A customizable cooldown period ensures that only the first signal in a sequence is shown, reducing noise while preserving opportunities for new trends.
Confidence Scores: Each signal includes an AI-inspired confidence score (0-100%), calculated from candle strength and price distance to VWAP, helping traders gauge signal reliability.
The indicator’s visuals enhance decision-making with dynamic gradient lines, a highlighted retracement zone, and clear signal labels, all customizable to suit your preferences.
How It Works
The indicator integrates several components that work together to create a cohesive trading tool:
VWAP: Acts as a dynamic support/resistance level, reflecting the average price weighted by volume. It filters signals to ensure buys occur in uptrends (price above VWAP) and sells in downtrends (price below VWAP).
Dual EMAs: Two EMAs (default 12 and 21 periods) define a retracement zone where the price is likely to consolidate before continuing its trend. Signals are generated only after the price exits this zone with conviction.
Retracement Logic: The indicator looks for price pullbacks to the EMA zone within a user-defined lookback window (default 5 candles), ensuring signals align with trend continuation patterns.
Candle Strength: Signals require strong candles (bullish for buys, bearish for sells) with a minimum body size based on the Average True Range (ATR), filtering out weak or indecisive moves.
Cooldown Mechanism: A unique feature that prevents signal clutter by allowing only the first signal within a user-defined period (default 3 candles), balancing responsiveness with clarity.
Confidence Score: Combines candle body size and price distance to VWAP to assign a score, giving traders an at-a-glance measure of signal strength without needing external analysis.
These components are carefully combined to capture high-probability setups while minimizing false signals, making the indicator suitable for both short-term and swing trading.
How to Use It
Add to Chart: Apply the indicator to a 15-minute chart (recommended) or your preferred timeframe.
Customize Settings:
VWAP Source: Choose the price source (default: hlc3).
EMA Periods: Adjust the fast and slow EMA periods (default: 12 and 21).
Retracement Window: Set how many candles to look back for retracement (default: 5).
ATR Period & Body Size: Define candle strength requirements (default: 14 ATR period, 0.3 multiplier).
Cooldown Period: Control the minimum candles between signals (default: 3; set to 0 to disable).
Candle Requirements: Toggle whether signals require bullish/bearish candles or entire candle above/below EMAs.
Visuals: Enable/disable gradient colors, retracement zone, confidence scores, and choose a color scheme (Neon, Light, or Dark).
Interpret Signals:
Buy: A green "Buy" label with a confidence score appears below the candle when conditions are met.
Sell: A red "Sell" label with a confidence score appears above the candle.
Use the confidence score to prioritize higher-probability signals (e.g., above 80%).
Trade Management: Combine signals with your risk management strategy, such as setting stop-loss below the retracement zone and targeting a 1:2 risk-reward ratio.
Why It’s Unique
The VWAP + EMA Retracement Indicator stands out due to its thoughtful integration of classic indicators with modern enhancements:
Balanced Signal Filtering: The cooldown mechanism ensures clarity without missing key opportunities, unlike many indicators that overwhelm with frequent signals.
AI-Inspired Confidence: The confidence score simplifies decision-making by quantifying signal strength, mimicking advanced analytical tools in an accessible way.
Elegant Visuals: Dynamic gradients, a highlighted retracement zone, and customizable color schemes (Neon, Light, Dark) create a sleek, futuristic interface that’s both functional and visually appealing.
Flexibility: Extensive customization options let traders tailor the indicator to their style, from conservative swing trading to aggressive scalping.

Dskyz (DAFE) Aurora Divergence - Dskyz (DAFE) Aurora Divergence Indicator
Advanced Divergence Detection for Traders. Unleash the power of divergence trading with this cutting-edge indicator that combines price and volume analysis to spot high-probability reversal signals.
🧠 What Is It?
The Dskyz (DAFE) Aurora Divergence Indicator is designed to identify bullish and bearish divergences between the price trend and the On Balance Volume (OBV) trend. Divergence occurs when the price of an asset and a technical indicator (in this case, OBV) move in opposite directions, signaling a potential reversal. This indicator uses linear regression slopes to calculate the trends of both price and OBV over a specified lookback period, detecting when these two metrics are diverging. When a divergence is detected, it highlights potential reversal points with visually striking aurora bands, orbs, and labels, making it easy for traders to spot key signals.
⚙️ Inputs & How to Use Them
The indicator is highly customizable, with inputs grouped under "⚡ DAFE Aurora Settings" for clarity. Here’s how each input works:
Lookback Period: Determines how many bars are used to calculate the price and OBV slopes. Higher values detect longer-term trends (e.g., 20 for 1H charts), while lower values are more responsive to short-term movements.
Price Slope Threshold: Sets the minimum slope value for the price to be considered in an uptrend or downtrend. A value of 0 allows all slopes to be considered, while higher values filter for stronger trends.
OBV Slope Threshold: Similar to the price slope threshold but for OBV. Helps filter out weak volume trends.
Aurora Band Width: Adjusts the width of the visual bands that highlight divergence areas. Wider bands make the indicator more visible but may clutter the chart.
Divergence Sensitivity: Scales the strength of the divergence signals. Higher values make the indicator more sensitive to smaller divergences.
Minimum Strength: Filters out weak signals by only showing divergences above this strength level. A default of 0.3 is recommended for beginners.
Signal Cooldown (Bars): Prevents multiple signals from appearing too close together. Default is 5 bars, reducing chart clutter and helping traders focus on significant signals.
These inputs allow traders to fine-tune the indicator to match their trading style and timeframe.
🚀 What Makes It Unique?
This indicator stands out with its innovative features:
Price-Volume Divergence: Combines price trend (slope) and OBV trend for more reliable signals than price-only divergences.
Aurora Bands: Dynamic visual bands that highlight divergence zones, making it easier to spot potential reversals at a glance.
Interactive Dashboard: Displays real-time information on trend direction, volume flow, signal type, strength, and recommended actions (e.g., "Consider Buying" or "Consider Selling").
Signal Cooldown: Ensures only the most significant divergences are shown, reducing noise and improving usability.
Alerts: Built-in alerts for both bullish and bearish divergences, allowing traders to stay informed even when not actively monitoring the chart.
Beginner Guide: Explains the indicator’s visuals (e.g., aqua orbs for bullish signals, fuchsia orbs for bearish signals), making it accessible for new users.
🎯 Why It Works
The indicator’s effectiveness lies in its use of price-volume divergence, a well-established concept in technical analysis. When the price trend and OBV trend diverge, it often signals a potential reversal because the underlying volume support (or lack thereof) is not aligning with the price action. For example:
Bullish Divergence: Occurs when the price is making lower lows, but the OBV is making higher lows, indicating weakening selling pressure and potential upward reversal.
Bearish Divergence: Occurs when the price is making higher highs, but the OBV is making lower highs, suggesting weakening buying pressure and potential downward reversal.
The use of linear regression ensures smooth and accurate trend calculations over the specified lookback period. The divergence strength is then normalized and filtered based on user-defined thresholds, ensuring only high-quality signals are displayed. Additionally, the cooldown period prevents signal overload, allowing traders to focus on the most significant opportunities.
🧬 Indicator Recommendation
Best For: Traders looking to identify potential trend reversals in any market, especially those where volume data is reliable (e.g., stocks, futures, forex).
Timeframes: Suitable for all timeframes. Adjust the lookback period accordingly—smaller values for shorter timeframes (e.g., 1H), larger for longer ones (e.g., 4H or daily).
Pair With: Support and resistance levels, trend lines, other oscillators (e.g., RSI, MACD) for confirmation, and volume profile tools for deeper analysis.
Tips:
Look for divergences at key support/resistance levels for higher-probability setups.
Pay attention to signal strength; higher strength divergences are often more reliable.
Use the dashboard to quickly assess market conditions before entering a trade.
Set up alerts to catch divergences even when not actively watching the chart.

Cumulative Ease of MovementThis indicator visualizes Cumulative Ease of Movement (EOM) to assess the efficiency of price movement relative to volume and volatility. Instead of analysing individual bars, this tool accumulates EOM values over time, helping you identify persistent buying or selling pressure.
The original Ease of Movement created by Richard Arms is an oscillator:
EOM = ((Midpoint Move) / Box Ratio)
Midpoint Move = ((High + Low)/2) - ((High + Low )/2)
Box Ratio = Volume / (High - Low)
this indicator simply accumulates those values over time.
It incorporates a full Guppy Multiple Moving Average (GMMA) framework applied to the cumulative EOM curve, highlighting trend strength, transition zones, and slow/fast compression. Optional bar colouring and candle overlays reflect EOM direction and allow visual clarity during trending or congested conditions.
To facilitate the interpretation of the cumulative EOM, the GMMA and the Heikin Ashi smooths the signals, but the EOM itself is not smoothed.
Features
- Cumulative EOM plot (toggleable)
- GMMA overlays: short, medium, long-term
- Optional bar colouring based on EOM trend
- Heikin Ashi-style smoothing option
- EOM rendered as candle plot for momentum interpretation
Use Cases
- Identify trend strength and consistency through EOM slope + GMMA expansion
- Spot absorption and exhaustion zones when price pushes but cumulative EOM diverges
- Detect transitions when GMMA layers begin to compress and flip
- Validate breakout efficiency with strong EOM continuation
The Cumulative Ease of Movement (EOM) is designed to help traders follow the path of least resistance in the market by tracking whether price is moving efficiently with or against volume over time.
Rather than focusing on isolated bar-by-bar effort, it accumulates directional bias, allowing you to see whether buying or selling pressure is sustained and aligned with ease — or whether market moves are inefficient and likely to fade.
If you do not wish to use candles, or heikin ashi, you can enable the Cumulative EOM line and disable the candles.
VWAP Separation Oscillator V5 (No Arrows)Okay, here is a draft description you can adapt for your TradingView publication. It starts from the basics and explains the concepts behind the indicator and how to interpret its visual elements.
VWAP Separation Oscillator
Summary
This indicator provides a normalized view of how far the current price has deviated from its Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP), helping traders identify potentially overbought or oversold conditions relative to recent VWAP dynamics. It calculates the price separation from VWAP and expresses it in terms of standard deviations (a Z-score), making it easier to gauge the statistical significance of the deviation.
Core Concepts Explained
What is VWAP?
VWAP stands for Volume-Weighted Average Price. It's a trading benchmark calculated by taking the total dollar value traded for every transaction (price multiplied by volume) and dividing it by the total shares traded for the day (or other chosen period).
Unlike a simple moving average, VWAP gives more weight to price levels where more volume occurred. Many institutional traders use it as a reference point for execution quality.
This indicator allows you to choose the "Anchor Period" (Session, Week, Month, etc.) which determines when the VWAP calculation resets.
What is VWAP Separation?
P
rice doesn't always stay at the VWAP; it naturally fluctuates above and below it.
"VWAP Separation" is simply the difference between the current price (Source) and the calculated VWAP value (Separation = Price - VWAP). A positive separation means the price is above VWAP; negative means below.
How Standard Deviation is Used:
While knowing the separation is useful, its significance can vary wildly between different stocks or market conditions. A $1 separation might be huge for one stock but tiny for another.
Standard Deviation is a statistical measure of how spread out data points are from their average. In this indicator, we calculate the standard deviation of the VWAP Separation over a specified Lookback Length. This tells us how volatile or dispersed the separation has been recently.
The Oscillator Line (Z-Score):
The main purple (or Green/Red) line plotted by this indicator is the Z-score of the VWAP Separation.
Formula conceptually: Oscillator Value = (Current Separation - Average Separation) / Standard Deviation of Separation
Interpretation: It tells you how many standard deviations the current separation is away from the average separation over the lookback period.
A value of +2.0 means the current separation is 2 standard deviations higher (more extended to the upside) than the average separation.
A value of -1.5 means the current separation is 1.5 standard deviations lower (more extended to the downside) than the average separation.
This normalization makes it easier to compare readings across different assets or timeframes and to define consistent thresholds for "extreme" deviations.
Visual Elements Explained
Oscillator Line: The primary line showing the Z-score value (explained above). Can optionally be colored Green/Red based on its slope (rising/falling).
Overbought Line (Solid Red): A user-defined level (default: 2.0). When the oscillator moves above this line, it suggests the price deviation above VWAP is statistically significant compared to recent history.
Oversold Line (Solid Green): A user-defined level (default: -2.0). When the oscillator moves below this line, it suggests the price deviation below VWAP is statistically significant compared to recent history.
Overbought/Oversold Zone Fills (Transparent Red/Green): These shaded areas appear only when the oscillator line enters the respective Overbought or Oversold territory (defined by the OB/OS Lines), visually highlighting these periods.
Zero Line (Dotted Gray): Represents the point where the current VWAP separation is exactly equal to the average VWAP separation over the lookback period. Crossings indicate shifts relative to this mean.
Zero Cross Markers (Orange 'X'): Small 'x' marks plotted directly on the oscillator line whenever it crosses the Zero Line, pinpointing these moments.
Potential Usage / Interpretation
Identifying Extremes: High positive values (above OB Level) or low negative values (below OS Level) can suggest the price move relative to VWAP might be over-extended and potentially due for a pause or pullback. Look for the oscillator turning back from these extremes.
Spotting Divergences: Look for discrepancies between price action and the oscillator.
Bearish Divergence: Price makes a new high, but the oscillator makes a lower high (often in the OB zone). Suggests weakening upside momentum relative to VWAP dynamics.
Bullish Divergence: Price makes a new low, but the oscillator makes a higher low (often in the OS zone). Suggests weakening downside momentum relative to VWAP dynamics.
Context is Key: This oscillator measures deviation from a specific benchmark (VWAP). Its interpretation should always be done within the context of the overall market trend, price structure (support/resistance), volume analysis, and potentially other confirming indicators.
Disclaimer: This indicator is a tool for analysis, not a standalone trading system. It does not provide financial advice. Always use risk management.
Settings Overview
Anchor Period: Determines how often the VWAP calculation resets (Session, Week, Month, etc.).
Source: The price data used for the separation calculation (default: hlc3).
Lookback Length: The number of bars used to calculate the average and standard deviation of the separation, influencing the oscillator's responsiveness.
Overbought/Oversold Levels: User-defined thresholds for identifying extreme Z-score values.
Color Oscillator Line: Option to color the oscillator line based on whether it's rising or falling.
Volume and Volatility Ratio Indicator-WODI该指标名为“交易量与波动率比例指标-WODI”，主要基于交易量和价格波动率构造一个复合指数，帮助识别市场内可能存在的异常或转折信号。具体实现如下：
用户自定义参数
用户可以设置交易量均线长度（vol_length）、指数的短期与长期均线长度（index_short_length、index_long_length）、均线敏感度（index_magnification）、阈值放大因子（index_threshold_magnification）以及检测K线形态的区间（lookback_bars）。这些参数为后续计算提供了灵活性，允许用户根据不同市场环境自定义指标的敏感度和响应速度。
交易量均线与百分比计算
首先通过 ta.sma 计算指定长度的交易量简单均线（vol_ma）。
接下来，将当前交易量与均线进行比较，计算出当前交易量占均线的百分比（vol_percent），这反映了短期内交易量的相对活跃程度。
波动率的衡量
使用当前K线的最高价和最低价计算振幅，再除以收盘价乘以100得到波动率（volatility），从而反映市场价格波动的幅度。
构建交易量/波动率指数
将交易量百分比与波动率相乘，形成了“交易量/波动率指数”（volatility_index）。该指数能够同时反映市场的交易活跃度和价格波动性，两者的联合作用帮助捕捉市场的“热度”。
计算指标均线与阈值
对交易量/波动率指数分别计算短期均线（index_short_ma）和长期均线（index_long_ma），并通过乘以一个敏感度参数（index_magnification）进行调整。
同时，依据长期均线计算一个阈值（index_threshold），起到过滤噪音的作用。当指数突破该阈值时，可能预示着市场的重要变化。
K线形态与反转模式检测
通过遍历最近几根K线（由lookback_bars控制），指标会检测是否符合一系列预定条件（涉及交易量、价格振幅、K线形态等），以判断是否存在反转模式。若符合条件，则标记为反转模式，从而为潜在的转折点提供提示。
图表展示
最终在独立窗口中绘制多个元素：
指数短均线与长均线：经过敏感度调整后显示，用于分析指数趋势。
交易量/波动率指数：采用阶梯线风格绘制，直观展示指数变化。
阈值线：作为参考水平，便于判断指数是否突破常规范围。
交易量柱状图：当当前交易量高于均线时，通过不同颜色显示；当检测到反转模式时，颜色会进一步强化，帮助用户迅速识别潜在信号。
English Description
This indicator, titled “Volume and Volatility Ratio Indicator - WODI”, is designed to construct a composite index based on trading volume and price volatility, aiding in the identification of abnormal market conditions or potential reversal signals. Its functionality is broken down as follows:
User-Defined Parameters
The indicator allows users to set parameters such as the moving average length for volume (vol_length), the short and long moving average lengths for the index (index_short_length and index_long_length), a sensitivity multiplier (index_magnification), a threshold magnification factor (index_threshold_magnification), and the number of bars for pattern detection (lookback_bars). These parameters provide flexibility to adjust the sensitivity and responsiveness of the indicator based on different market conditions.
Volume Moving Average and Percentage Calculation
A simple moving average (SMA) of volume is computed over the specified length (vol_ma) using the ta.sma function.
The current volume is then compared to its moving average to calculate the volume percentage (vol_percent), reflecting the relative trading intensity in the short term.
Measuring Volatility
Volatility is calculated based on the current bar’s high and low prices, normalized by the closing price and multiplied by 100, which provides a measure of the market’s price fluctuation magnitude.
Constructing the Volume/Volatility Index
The index (volatility_index) is derived by multiplying the volume percentage by the calculated volatility. This composite metric reflects both market activity and price movement, effectively capturing the overall “heat” of the market.
Calculating the Index Moving Averages and Threshold
Two moving averages for the volatility_index are computed: one short-term (index_short_ma) and one long-term (index_long_ma). These are then adjusted by the sensitivity multiplier (index_magnification).
A threshold level (index_threshold) is calculated based on the long-term moving average multiplied by the threshold magnification factor, serving to filter out market noise. When the index exceeds this threshold, it may signal significant market shifts.
Detection of Reversal Patterns
The indicator iterates through the recent bars (as determined by lookback_bars) to check whether a set of predetermined conditions (involving trends in the volatility_index, volume comparisons, price closes, and K-line patterns) are met. If these conditions are satisfied, it flags a reversal pattern, which may serve as a warning for a potential market turnaround.
Visualization on the Chart
The final display includes several elements plotted in a separate indicator window:
The short-term and long-term moving averages of the index (after sensitivity adjustment) which help visualize the trend of the composite index.
The volatility index itself is drawn using a step-line style for clarity.
A threshold line is plotted to provide a reference level against which index movements can be compared.
A volume histogram is also displayed, where bars are colored differently when the current volume exceeds the moving average; the color is further enhanced if a reversal pattern is detected, making it easy for users to quickly spot potential signals.

Quarterly Theory ICT 04 [TradingFinder] SSMT 4Quarter Divergence🔵 Introduction
Sequential SMT Divergence is an advanced price-action-based analytical technique rooted in the ICT (Inner Circle Trader) methodology. Its primary objective is to identify early-stage divergences between correlated assets within precise time structures. This tool not only breaks down market structure but also enables traders to detect engineered liquidity traps before the market reacts.
In simple terms, SMT (Smart Money Technique) occurs when two correlated assets—such as indices (ES and NQ), currency pairs (EURUSD and GBPUSD), or commodities (Gold and Silver)—exhibit different reactions at key price levels (swing highs or lows). This lack of alignment is often a sign of smart money manipulation and signals a lack of confirmation in the ongoing trend—hinting at an imminent reversal or at least a pause in momentum.
In its Sequential form, SMT divergences are examined through a more granular temporal lens—between intraday quarters (Q1 through Q4). When SMT appears at the transition from one quarter to another (e.g., Q1 to Q2 or Q3 to Q4), the signal becomes significantly more powerful, often aligning with a critical phase in the Quarterly Theory—a framework that segments market behavior into four distinct phases: Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution, and Reversal/Continuation.
For instance, a Bullish SMT forms when one asset prints a new low while its correlated counterpart fails to break the corresponding low from the previous quarter. This usually indicates absorption of selling pressure and the beginning of accumulation by smart money. Conversely, a Bearish SMT arises when one asset makes a higher high, but the second asset fails to confirm, signaling distribution or a fake-out before a decline.
However, SMT alone is not enough. To confirm a true Market Structure Break (MSB), the appearance of a Precision Swing Point (PSP) is essential—a specific candlestick formation on a lower timeframe (typically 5 to 15 minutes) that reveals the entry of institutional participants. The combination of SMT and PSP provides a more accurate entry point and better understanding of premium and discount zones.
The Sequential SMT Indicator, introduced in this article, dynamically scans charts for such divergence patterns across multiple sessions. It is applicable to various markets including Forex, crypto, commodities, and indices, and shows particularly strong performance during mid-week sessions (Wednesdays and Thursdays)—when most weekly highs and lows tend to form.
Bullish Sequential SMT :
Bearish Sequential SMT :
🔵 How to Use
The Sequential SMT (SSMT) indicator is designed to detect time and structure-based divergences between two correlated assets. This divergence occurs when both assets print a similar swing (high or low) in the previous quarter (e.g., Q3), but in the current quarter (e.g., Q4), only one asset manages to break that swing level—while the other fails to reach it.
This temporal mismatch is precisely identified by the SSMT indicator and often signals smart money activity, a market phase transition, or even the presence of an engineered liquidity trap. The signal becomes especially powerful when paired with a Precision Swing Point (PSP)—a confirming candle on lower timeframes (5m–15m) that typically indicates a market structure break (MSB) and the entry of smart liquidity.
🟣 Bullish Sequential SMT
In the previous quarter, both assets form a similar swing low.
In the current quarter, one asset (e.g., EURUSD) breaks that low and trades below it.
The other asset (e.g., GBPUSD) fails to reach the same low, preserving the structure.
This time-based divergence reflects declining selling pressure, potential absorption, and often marks the end of a manipulation phase and the start of accumulation. If confirmed by a bullish PSP candle, it offers a strong long opportunity, with stop-losses defined just below the swing low.
🟣 Bearish Sequential SMT
In the previous quarter, both assets form a similar swing high.
In the current quarter, one asset (e.g., NQ) breaks above that high.
The other asset (e.g., ES) fails to reach that high, remaining below it.
This type of divergence signals weakening bullish momentum and the likelihood of distribution or a fake-out before a price drop. When followed by a bearish PSP candle, it sets up a strong shorting opportunity with targets in the discount zone and protective stops placed above the swing high.

🔵 Conclusion
The Sequential SMT (SSMT) indicator is a powerful and precise tool for identifying structural divergences between correlated assets within a time-based framework. Unlike traditional divergence models that rely solely on sequential pivot comparisons, SSMT leverages Quarterly Theory, in combination with concepts like liquidity sweeps, market structure breaks (MSB) and precision swing points (PSP), to provide a deeper and more actionable view of market dynamics.
By using SSMT, traders gain not only the ability to identify where divergence occurs, but also when it matters most within the market cycle. This empowers them to anticipate major moves or traps before they fully materialize, and position themselves accordingly in high-probability trade zones.
Whether you're trading Forex, crypto, indices, or commodities, the true strength of this indicator is revealed when used in sync with the Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution, and Reversal phases of the market. Integrated with other confluence tools and market models, SSMT can serve as a core component in a professional, rule-based, and highly personalized trading strategy.
Titan X 📈 Titan X – Optimized Trend Strategy with Gradient ZLEMA, RMI, CCI, ROC, and Volume Confirmation
Titan X is a precision-engineered trend-following strategy designed for crypto markets and high-volatility assets. It is not just a combination of indicators, but a carefully constructed, non-repainting system where each component plays a specific role in confirming high-probability trade setups. The strategy detects strong directional moves, confirms them with momentum and volume, and manages trade exits without relying on traditional stop losses.
🔍 How the Indicators Work Together
✅ 1. ZLEMA Baseline + Gradient Filter
A Zero Lag Exponential Moving Average (ZLEMA) is used to track directional trend with minimal lag.
A gradient (slope) is calculated from the ZLEMA to measure trend acceleration. This confirms whether a trend is gaining strength or losing momentum.
Entries are only taken when the ZLEMA gradient exceeds a user-defined threshold, ensuring trades are only taken in strong, developing trends.
✅ 2. RMI – Relative Momentum Index (with Memory)
RMI captures sustained momentum direction over time.
It helps validate that price isn't just spiking, but truly trending.
Titan X uses RMI as a trend memory filter, requiring consistent momentum alignment before entry.
✅ 3. Momentum Timing – ROC + CCI
The Rate of Change (ROC) determines the strength and direction of recent momentum.
The Commodity Channel Index (CCI) checks price deviation from a moving average baseline, identifying whether momentum is aligned with market structure.
This combo prevents trades in weak, flat, or conflicting conditions.
✅ 4. Volume Spike Confirmation
Titan X uses a relative volume filter, requiring the current bar’s volume to exceed a moving average threshold.
This ensures trades are only triggered when there is clear breakout interest from market participants, helping avoid fakeouts and low-volume moves.
🎯 Trade Entry & Exit Rules
✅ Entry Conditions:
All five filters must align:
Trend direction (ZLEMA slope)
Momentum (ROC & CCI)
Trend memory (RMI)
Volume (Spike filter)
Trades are entered on the next bar after all confirmations, ensuring 100% non-repainting behavior.
✅ Take Profit System (Multi-Level TP):
TP1: Closes 50% of the position at a user-defined % gain (default: 2%)
TP2: Closes the remaining 50% of the position at a higher % gain (default: 4%)
Each TP is executed via limit order to ensure realistic and backtestable fills.
❌ No Stop Loss Used
Instead of using fixed stop losses, Titan X closes positions early when trend conditions weaken.
This dynamic exit logic is based on a reversal in ZLEMA gradient, which serves as a weak trend detection system.
⏱️ Cooldown Logic
A 1-bar cooldown is enforced between trades to avoid same-bar exit/entry violations on TradingView.
This improves execution accuracy and avoids overtrading on choppy price action.

ScalpSwing Pro SetupScript Overview
This script is a multi-tool setup designed for both scalping (1m–5m) and swing trading (1H–4H–Daily). It combines the power of trend-following , momentum , and mean-reversion tools:
What’s Included in the Script
1. EMA Indicators (20, 50, 200)
- EMA 20 (blue) : Short-term trend
- EMA 50 (orange) : Medium-term trend
- EMA 200 (red) : Long-term trend
- Use:
- EMA 20 crossing above 50 → bullish trend
- EMA 20 crossing below 50 → bearish trend
- Price above 200 EMA = uptrend bias
2. VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price)
- Shows the average price weighted by volume
- Best used in intraday (1m to 15m timeframes)
- Use:
- Price bouncing from VWAP = reversion trade
- Price far from VWAP = likely pullback incoming
3. RSI (14) + Key Levels
- Shows momentum and overbought/oversold zones
- Levels:
- 70 = Overbought (potential sell)
- 30 = Oversold (potential buy)
- 50 = Trend confirmation
- Use:
- RSI 30–50 in uptrend = dip buying zone
- RSI 70–50 in downtrend = pullback selling zone
4. MACD Crossovers
- Standard MACD with histogram & cross alerts
- Shows trend momentum shifts
- Green triangle = Bullish MACD crossover
- Red triangle = Bearish MACD crossover
- Use:
- Confirm swing trades with MACD crossover
- Combine with RSI divergence
5. Buy & Sell Signal Logic
BUY SIGNAL triggers when:
- EMA 20 crosses above EMA 50
- RSI is between 50 and 70 (momentum bullish, not overbought)
SELL SIGNAL triggers when:
- EMA 20 crosses below EMA 50
- RSI is between 30 and 50 (bearish momentum, not oversold)
These signals appear as:
- BUY : Green label below the candle
- SELL : Red label above the candle
How to Trade with It
For Scalping (1m–5m) :
- Focus on EMA crosses near VWAP
- Confirm with RSI between 50–70 (buy) or 50–30 (sell)
- Use MACD triangle as added confluence
For Swing (1H–4H–Daily) :
- Look for EMA 20–50 cross + price above EMA 200
- Confirm trend with MACD and RSI
- Trade breakout or pullback depending on structure

Initiative Analysis AdvancedInitiative Analysis Indicator
📊 Initiative Analysis (IA) Indicator
Initiative Analysis (IA) is an innovative technical analysis tool based on a unique concept of visualizing and analyzing the real battle between buyers and sellers.
🔍 What is IA and how does it work?
IA identifies initiatives on the chart — directional price moves caused by the actions of buyers or sellers. These initiatives form the three key phases of the market:
• Sideways range (consolidation)
• Trend
• Transitional period
Each initiative has a time limit and a price range. This helps traders clearly see:
• Who currently controls the market;
• What key levels and activity zones are forming;
• Where the price is likely to meet support or resistance.
________________________________________
📘 Main Features and How to Read the Chart
✅ Identifying Buyer and Seller Initiatives (Dominant Zones)
• A blue background shows a buyer’s initiative — buyers control the market and price is expected to rise (colors can be customized).
• A red background shows a seller’s initiative — sellers control the market and price is expected to fall.
✅ Key Price Levels
• The bottom edge of the blue zone = potential demand/support level.
• The top edge of the red zone = potential supply/resistance level.
• The blue line = potential target level during bullish phases.
• The red line = potential target level during bearish phases.
✅ Levels Inside Initiatives
• The indicator can show up to 5 levels inside each initiative (like Fibonacci levels), which you can set manually in the settings.
✅ Multi-Timeframe Analysis
• Visual elements (initiatives, levels, targets) are shown for two timeframes at once: the current chart timeframe and a higher timeframe of your choice.
• This helps to do full analysis without switching charts.
✅ Key Candles in Initiative Analysis
• KC (Key Candle): the candle with the highest volume within an Initiative.
• tKC (Temporary Key Candle): a temporary high-volume candle that forms after the KC. It may become the new KC if the Initiative extends beyond the previous range.
• IKC (Internal Key Candle): the candle with the highest volume among Initiatives that form inside a sideways range. If KC/tKC and IKC appear in opposite directions within the same Initiative, IKC takes priority.
One possible approach for finding long setups: look for a buyer-side KC, tKC, or IKC within the lower 50% of the Initiative, or a seller-side KC/tKC/IKC on the lower boundary that has been absorbed by buyers. The reverse applies when looking for short setups.
✅ Buyer and seller zones within Initiative:
• Red rectangles represent seller zones. It is preferable to look for sell patterns within the price range of the seller zone when the price returns to that area.
• Blue rectangles represent buyer zones. It is preferable to look for buy patterns within the price range of the buyer zone when the price returns to that area.
✅ Customization
• All colors and elements can be easily adjusted to fit your trading style.
________________________________________
💡 Why is IA useful for traders?
• Color-coded zones make market context easy to understand: who’s in control, key levels, possible initiative change;
• Saves a lot of time on market analysis;
• Helps find return zones and high-potential entry points;
• Helps forecast potential price targets;
• Makes reading market structure simple and clear.

SuperTrend Momentum OscillatorOverview
The SuperTrend Momentum Oscillator (SMO) is a powerful technical analysis tool designed to identify trend direction and strength in financial markets. It combines short-term and long-term oscillator calculations to provide traders with a comprehensive view of market conditions through an intuitive candle-based visualization system.
Key Features
Dual-period oscillator system (short-term and long-term)
Candle-based visualization showing trend direction and alignment
Color-coded trend direction based on the main (slower) trend line
Candle size reflecting alignment between fast and slow components
High-confidence "Super" signals (green diamonds for buys, purple diamonds for sells)
Market liquidity insights through oscillator readings
Understanding the Candle Visualization
Main Trend vs. Fast Money
The SMO uses two key components that work together:
Main Trend Line (Slower): The longer-period oscillator that acts as the primary trend indicator
Dictates the overall color of the candles (green for uptrend, red for downtrend)
Represents the dominant market direction
Fast Line (Quicker): The shorter-period oscillator that reacts more quickly to price changes
Helps determine the size of candles through its alignment with the main trend
Represents "fast money" or shorter-term price reactions
Candle Components and Their Meaning
1. Candle Color
The color of each candle is determined by the direction of the main trend line:
Green Candles: Main trend line is rising (bullish)
Indicates an overall uptrend regardless of short-term fluctuations
Remains green even when the fast line temporarily moves against the trend
Red Candles: Main trend line is falling (bearish)
Indicates an overall downtrend regardless of short-term fluctuations
Remains red even when the fast line temporarily moves against the trend
2. Candle Body Size
The body size of each candle represents the alignment between fast and main trend lines:
Large Bodies: Both fast and main trend lines are moving in the same direction
Trading Action: Strong confirmation of the trend direction
Confidence Level: High confidence signals
Small Bodies: Fast line is moving against the main trend line
Trading Action: Exercise caution; potential for temporary pullback or consolidation
Confidence Level: Lower confidence in immediate continuation
3. Wick Length
Wicks (shadows) provide additional information about price rejection and volatility:
Long Wicks: Indicate price rejection and potential volatility
Trading Action: Be cautious of trend continuation when long wicks appear
Confidence Level: Reduced confidence in immediate trend continuation
Short Wicks: Indicate strong directional control with minimal rejection
Trading Action: More confidence in trend continuation
Confidence Level: Higher confidence in the current trend direction
Candle Patterns Over Time
The progression of candles provides valuable trend information:
Large Green Candles: Main trend is up and fast line confirms (strong bullish)
Trading Action: Consider entering or adding to long positions
Confidence Level: High confidence in uptrend
Small Green Candles: Main trend is up but fast line is moving down (caution in uptrend)
Trading Action: Hold existing long positions but wait before adding
Confidence Level: Moderate confidence in uptrend, possible short-term pullback
Large Red Candles: Main trend is down and fast line confirms (strong bearish)
Trading Action: Consider entering or adding to short positions
Confidence Level: High confidence in downtrend
Small Red Candles: Main trend is down but fast line is moving up (caution in downtrend)
Trading Action: Hold existing short positions but wait before adding
Confidence Level: Moderate confidence in downtrend, possible short-term bounce
Super Signals - High Confidence Trading Opportunities
The SMO focuses exclusively on high-confidence "Super" signals:
Green Diamond Super Buy Signals
Meaning: Both short-term and long-term oscillators are generating buy signals simultaneously
Visual Indicator: Green diamond markers at the bottom of the indicator (0 level)
Trading Action: Strong entry signal for long positions
Confidence Level: High confidence signal, especially when accompanied by large green candles
Purple Diamond Super Sell Signals
Meaning: Both short-term and long-term oscillators are generating sell signals simultaneously
Visual Indicator: Purple diamond markers at the top of the indicator (100 level)
Trading Action: Strong entry signal for short positions or exit signal for long positions
Confidence Level: High confidence signal, especially when accompanied by large red candles
Market Liquidity Concept
The SMO provides a unique perspective on market conditions that goes beyond traditional oscillator interpretations:
Low Oscillator Readings (Below 20)
When the oscillator shows low readings (below 20), this indicates:
Traditional interpretation: Market is oversold, potential for upward reversal
Liquidity interpretation: Insufficient money in the market
This suggests thin trading conditions where large orders may have outsized impact
Price movements may be more erratic and less predictable
Breakouts may lack follow-through due to insufficient participation
High Oscillator Readings (Above 80)
When the oscillator shows high readings (above 80), this indicates:
Traditional interpretation: Market is overbought, potential for downward reversal
Liquidity interpretation: Abundant money in the market
This suggests deep trading conditions with high participation
Price movements tend to be more orderly and trend-based
Breakouts may have stronger follow-through due to high participation
Trading Strategies with SMO
Strategy 1: Main Trend with Alignment Confirmation
This strategy uses the main trend direction with alignment confirmation:
Entry Criteria:
Main trend direction is established (green or red candles)
Fast line aligns with main trend (large candles)
Super signal confirms (green or purple diamond)
Exit Criteria:
For long positions: When candles turn red or Super Sell signal appears
For short positions: When candles turn green or Super Buy signal appears
Stop Loss Placement:
For long positions: Below recent swing low
For short positions: Above recent swing high
Strategy 2: Counter-Trend Opportunity Detection
This strategy identifies potential counter-trend opportunities:
Entry Criteria:
Small candles appear (indicating disagreement between fast and main trend lines)
Oscillator reaches extreme levels (above 80 or below 20)
Wait for candle color change before entering
Position Sizing:
Use smaller position sizes for counter-trend trades
Increase size only when main trend confirms the new direction
Exit Criteria:
Take profit at the first sign of alignment in the opposite direction
Use tighter stops than with trend-following trades
Strategy 3: Market Liquidity Strategy
This strategy incorporates the market liquidity concept:
For Low Liquidity Conditions (Readings below 20):
Wait for Super Buy signals (green diamond)
Use smaller position sizes
Be prepared for potentially erratic price movements
Look for signs of increasing liquidity (expanding candle bodies) before adding to positions
For High Liquidity Conditions (Readings above 80):
Consider holding positions longer despite "overbought" readings
Use trailing stops to capture extended moves
Be aware that trends may persist longer than expected
Practical Trading Scenarios
Scenario 1: Strong Trend Confirmation
Candle Pattern: Series of large green candles (main trend up, fast line confirms)
Signal: Green diamond Super Buy marker at the bottom (0 level)
Background: Intensifying green gradient
Action: Enter long position with confidence
Stop Loss: Below recent swing low
Take Profit: When candles become small or turn red
Scenario 2: Trend Weakening Detection
Candle Pattern: Green candles becoming smaller (main trend still up, but fast line diverging)
Signal: No new signals
Background: Fading green gradient
Action: Tighten stops on long positions, prepare for potential reversal
Reasoning: Fast money is starting to move against the main trend
Scenario 3: Trend Reversal Identification
Candle Pattern: Transition from small green candles to red candles (main trend changing)
Signal: Appearance of purple diamond Super Sell marker at the top (100 level)
Background: Changing from green to red gradient
Action: Exit long positions and potentially enter short positions
Timing: Most effective when reversal occurs near overbought (80) level
Step-Based Trailing Stop-Loss IndicatorThis indicator is built for momentum traders who want to maximize winning trades and minimize losses through a smart, step-based trailing stop-loss system. Instead of using a fixed Take Profit, this tool dynamically protects profits once the trade reaches a favorable RR (Risk-to-Reward) level.
How It Works:
Manual Entry Input
You enter your Entry Price and select Buy/Sell in the settings.
This flexibility allows backtesting or live trade tracking.
Initial Setup
Default SL: 50 ticks(Tested on us30,but works on any pair you just need to adjust SL)
TP for reference: 4R — can be used for benchmarking, but we don't limit profits with a hard TP.
Trailing Logic
Once price reaches 3R in profit:
The SL begins trailing.
It starts at 2R, keeping a 1R cushion behind the max profit.
For every 0.5R gain, SL also moves up by 0.5R:
Example: At 3.5R → SL is at 2.5R
At 5.0R → SL is at 4.0R
This trailing continues until the SL is hit or the trend exhausts.

Exhaustion Indicator [Uncle Sam Trading]Overview
Introducing the Exhaustion Market Indicator by Uncle Sam Trading – a unique, original tool designed to help traders identify potential market exhaustion points and subsequent reversions. This indicator leverages a proprietary calculation that analyzes price action relative to underlying volume dynamics to pinpoint moments where the market may be overextended and poised for a potential shift.
Core Calculation & Concept
At its heart, this indicator calculates a dynamic, volume-influenced baseline representing a 'center of gravity' or equilibrium point for recent market activity. Unlike standard oscillators or moving averages, our original calculation method provides a distinct perspective on market balance.
The indicator then establishes unique price thresholds around this baseline. These aren't simple standard deviations; they are dynamically calculated based on a user-defined sensitivity percentage relative to the core baseline. When the price moves significantly beyond these thresholds, it suggests the market might be entering a state of exhaustion.
The primary signals ("B" for potential Buy, "S" for potential Sell) are generated when the price action indicates a reversion from these exhaustion levels back towards the calculated baseline, potentially signaling a turning point.
How It Aids Trading Decisions
Identifying Potential Exhaustion: The visual cues (subtle circles above/below price) highlight when the market is trading beyond the calculated thresholds, alerting traders to potentially unsustainable price extensions.
Pinpointing Reversal Signals: The "B" and "S" labels appear when the price crosses back from an exhaustion zone towards the baseline, offering potential entry signals for mean-reversion strategies.
Dynamic Target Reference: The indicator projects a dynamic target level (re-evaluated on each bar close based on the baseline calculation). This level serves as a potential reference point for where the price might gravitate following a signal.
Confirmation: A "Target Hit!" label visually confirms when the price reaches this dynamic target level after a signal, aiding in trade assessment.
Performance Insight: An optional statistics table provides a historical perspective on the percentage of signals that subsequently reached their dynamic target profitably (relative to the signal bar's open). Note: This calculation considers multiple previous signals.
Key Features
Original Baseline Calculation: Proprietary volume-weighted central value computation.
Dynamic Exhaustion Thresholds: User-defined sensitivity for identifying potential overextension.

Important Considerations
This indicator is designed as a decision-support tool, not a standalone trading system. Market conditions can change rapidly, and no indicator can predict the future with certainty.
Always use this indicator in conjunction with other forms of analysis (e.g., market structure, trend analysis, other confirmation indicators).
Implement robust risk management strategies for all trades.
The historical statistics presented are based on past data and calculation logic; they do not guarantee future performance.
We believe the unique approach of the Exhaustion Market Indicator offers a valuable perspective for traders seeking to identify potential market turning points based on exhaustion and reversion principles.

Green*DiamondGreen*Diamond (GD1)
Unleash Dynamic Trading Signals with Volatility and Momentum
Overview
GreenDiamond is a versatile overlay indicator designed for traders seeking actionable buy and sell signals across various markets and timeframes. Combining Volatility Bands (VB) bands, Consolidation Detection, MACD, RSI, and a unique Ribbon Wave, it highlights high-probability setups while filtering out noise. With customizable signals like Green-Yellow Buy, Pullback Sell, and Inverse Pullback Buy, plus vibrant candle and volume visuals, GreenDiamond adapts to your trading style—whether you’re scalping, day trading, or swing trading.
Key Features
Volatility Bands (VB): Plots dynamic upper and lower bands to identify breakouts or reversals, with toggleable buy/sell signals outside consolidation zones.
Consolidation Detection: Marks low-range periods to avoid choppy markets, ensuring signals fire during trending conditions.
MACD Signals: Offers flexible buy/sell conditions (e.g., cross above signal, above zero, histogram up) with RSI divergence integration for precision.
RSI Filter: Enhances signals with customizable levels (midline, oversold/overbought) and bullish divergence detection.
Ribbon Wave: Visualizes trend strength using three EMAs, colored by MACD and RSI for intuitive momentum cues.
Custom Signals: Includes Green-Yellow Buy, Pullback Sell, and Inverse Pullback Buy, with limits on consecutive signals to prevent overtrading.
Candle & Volume Styling: Blends MACD/RSI colors on candles and scales volume bars to highlight momentum spikes.
Alerts: Set up alerts for VB signals, MACD crosses, Green*Diamond signals, and custom conditions to stay on top of opportunities.
How It Works
Green*Diamond integrates multiple indicators to generate signals:
Volatility Bands: Calculates bands using a pivot SMA and standard deviation. Buy signals trigger on crossovers above the lower band, sell signals on crossunders below the upper band (if enabled).
Consolidation Filter: Suppresses signals when candle ranges are below a threshold, keeping you out of flat markets.
MACD & RSI: Combines MACD conditions (e.g., cross above signal) with RSI filters (e.g., above midline) and optional volume spikes for robust signals.
Custom Logic: Green-Yellow Buy uses MACD bullishness, Pullback Sell targets retracements, and Inverse Pullback Buy catches reversals after downmoves—all filtered to avoid consolidation.
Visuals: Ribbon Wave shows trend direction, candles blend momentum colors, and volume bars scale dynamically to confirm signals.
Settings

Tips and Tricks
Scalping Small Caps (e.g., AEHL):
Use 1-minute charts with VB Lookback = 10, Consolidation Lookback = 5, and Volume Multiplier = 3.0 to catch $0.10–$0.20 moves.
Enable Green-Yellow Buy and Inverse Pullback Buy for quick entries; disable VB Signals to focus on Green*Diamond logic.
Pair with SMC+ green boxes (if you use them) for reversal confirmation.
Day Trading:
Try 5-minute charts with MACD Fast/Slow = 8/21 and RSI Period = 10.
Enable RSI Divergence + MACD Cross for high-probability setups; set Max Buy Signals = 2.
Watch for volume bars turning yellow to confirm entries.
Swing Trading:
Use daily charts with VB Lookback = 30, Ribbon EMAs = 20/40/60.
Enable Pullback Sell (60%) to exit after rallies; disable RSI Color for cleaner candles.
Check Ribbon Wave gradient for trend strength—bright green signals strong bulls.
Avoiding Noise:
Increase Consolidation Threshold to 0.7 on volatile days to skip false breakouts.
Disable Ribbon Wave or Volume Bars if the chart feels crowded.
Limit Max Buy Signals to 1 for disciplined trading.
Alert Setup:
In TradingView’s Alerts panel, select:
“GD Buy Signal” for standard entries.
“RSI Div + MACD Cross Buy” for reversals.
“VB Buy Signal” for breakout plays.
Set to “Once Per Bar Close” for confirmed signals; “Once Per Bar” for scalping.
Backtesting:
Replay on small caps ( Float < 5M, Price $0.50–$5) to test signals.
Focus on “GD Buy Signal” with yellow volume bars and green Ribbon Wave.
Avoid signals during gray consolidation squares unless paired with RSI Divergence.
Usage Notes
Markets: Works on stocks, forex, crypto, and indices. Best for volatile assets (e.g., small-cap stocks, BTCUSD).
Timeframes: Scalping (1–5 minutes), day trading (15–60 minutes), or swing trading (daily). Adjust settings per timeframe.
Risk Management: Combine with stop-losses (e.g., 1% risk, $0.05 below AEHL entry) and take-profits (3–5%).
Customization: Tweak inputs to match your strategy—experiment in replay to find your sweet spot.
