Structural Volatility Breakout (SVB)Structural Volatility Breakout (SVB) by TPFX
Overview
This is a technical analysis tool that helps identify the current market trend and looks for potential breakout opportunities. It combines several calculations into one indicator to assist with chart analysis.
Technical Features
The indicator is built on these main ideas:
1. How it Identifies the Market Trend:
* First, it checks for a clear trend by looking for a pattern of higher highs and higher lows (for an uptrend) or lower highs and lower lows (for a downtrend).
* Next, it measures the steepness of the recent trend to see if the price is moving with real momentum.
* Finally, it uses a "choppiness filter" to decide if the market is too messy and unpredictable. If the market is choppy, the indicator stays neutral to avoid unclear conditions.
2. How it Generates Breakout Signals:
* The indicator draws upper and lower bands around the price. These bands are designed to be stable and ignore sudden, random price spikes.
* A "Long+" signal appears if the price closes above the upper band while the indicator has identified an uptrend.
* A "Short+" signal appears if the price closes below the lower band while the indicator has identified a downtrend.
3. How it Grades Signal Quality:
* Every signal gets a star rating (from one to three stars). This rating is based on three factors:
1. Volume: Is there strong volume supporting the move?
2. Location: Did the breakout happen close to the central trend line?
3. HTF Agreement: Does the trend on a higher timeframe agree with the signal?
4. How it Adapts to Different Markets:
* The settings include presets for different markets (like Forex, Crypto, or Stocks). Choosing a preset automatically adjusts the indicator's internal math to better fit that market's typical behavior.
5. Multi-Timeframe Trend Dashboard:
* The indicator includes an on-screen dashboard that provides an at-a-glance view of the trend across multiple timeframes (1H, 2H, 4H, 8H, and Daily).
* It uses a robust engine combining a baseline moving average and momentum (MACD) to determine the trend for each timeframe, showing either Bullish, Bearish, or Neutral. This allows you to quickly assess broader market alignment without switching charts.
How to Use This Indicator
1. Use the Feature Control Panel to Customize Your View:
* At the very top of the settings, you will find a control panel with checkboxes. This allows you to easily turn major visual components on or off to declutter your chart. You can toggle the Core Algorithm, Risk Management boxes, Trend MA, Dashboard, and more.
2. In the settings, choose a "Market Preset" that matches the asset you are viewing. For manual control, turn "Auto-Configure" off.
3. Look at the background color to understand the trend: Green suggests an uptrend, Red suggests a downtrend, and Gray suggests a choppy/ranging market.
4. Watch for "Long+" or "Short+" labels. The star rating next to them provides extra context on the signal's conditions.
5. If enabled, the on-chart Stop Loss and Take Profit boxes can be used as a visual reference.
Intended Use & Limitations
* Recommended Assets: Designed for use on various assets. Performance will differ between markets. Presets for Forex, Indices, Crypto, Commodities, and Stocks are provided as starting points.
* Timeframes: Can be used on all timeframes. The default settings are primarily tuned for intraday charts.
Limitations:
* This is a tool to support analysis. It does not generate automatic buy or sell advice.
* The indicator is not a strategy and does not guarantee results. Users are responsible for their own trading decisions.
* Past performance shown in the statistics table does not predict future results.
* Always use this tool in combination with your own analysis and risk management plan.
SVB believe that there is no magic indicator that is able to print money. Indicator toolkits provide value via their convinience, adaptibility and uniqueness. Combining these items can help a trader make more educated; less messy, more planned trades and in turn hopefully help them succeed.

Circuit Breakers [hopiplaka - powered by Fadi]Circuit Breakers are what drive the financial market.
There's 3 main circuit breakers, 7, 13 and 20, for us indices
Forex is using 4% and crypto 10%
Using circuit breakers, and the fix time each asset has when it's settled, we can define a trading strategy. This trading strategy is explained in the Twin Tower tradeplan, by hopiplaka.
The levels this indicator draws are to be used in accordance with a PO3 sized swing (like 3, 9, 27, 81, ...)
You will see that either:
- a po3 sized swing occurs from the level
- a po3 sized swing occurs into the level
You than look for potential reversal patterns. I'm an ict trader, and rely heavily on the mmxm models he shared.

HMA Trend Line (Croc Signal Line)HMA Trend Line (Croc Signal Line) — The Ultimate Hull Moving Average Trend Indicator
Full English description here:
What is the HMA Trend Line (Croc Signal Line)?
The HMA Trend Line (Croc Signal Line) is a powerful, adaptive trend indicator for TradingView, based on the Hull Moving Average (HMA). This indicator is designed to help traders identify real market trends with less lag and reduced noise compared to traditional moving averages like SMA (Simple Moving Average) and EMA (Exponential Moving Average).
Why use the HMA Trend Line?
+ Faster Trend Detection: The Hull Moving Average (HMA) responds more quickly to price action, giving you earlier buy and sell signals.
+ Smoother and Cleaner: It provides a visually clean trend line that avoids the choppiness of classic EMAs and SMAs.
+ Reduced Lag: The HMA Trend Line follows the market closer, helping you avoid late entries or exits and spot trend reversals sooner.
+ Dynamic Support and Resistance: Use the line as a dynamic support or resistance to manage trades and identify pullbacks or breakouts.
What does “Croc Signal Line” mean?
The “Croc” in Croc Signal Line stands for:
+ Clean
+ Responsive
+ Optimized
+ Curve
This highlights the unique advantage of this indicator: a curve that is both fast-reacting and smooth, helping traders focus on real trends and filter out market noise.
How does the Hull Moving Average (HMA) work?
The HMA was developed by Alan Hull and uses weighted moving averages and a unique calculation to deliver both responsiveness and smoothness. Unlike standard moving averages, the HMA reacts faster to new price moves and avoids false signals in ranging or volatile markets.
How to use the HMA Trend Line (Croc Signal Line) on TradingView?
+ Watch for price crossing above the trend line for potential bullish signals, and below for bearish signals.
+ Use on any timeframe: from 1-minute scalping to daily, weekly, or even monthly charts.
+ Works with all asset classes: Forex, stocks, indices, cryptocurrencies, commodities, and futures.
+ Combine with other indicators (like Stochastics, RSI, or volume) for confirmation and to build your unique trading strategy.
+ Adjust the Signal Line Period for your market and style: shorter periods for faster markets, longer for smoother trends.
Who should use this indicator?
+ Day traders, swing traders, and long-term investors looking for reliable, actionable trend signals.
+ Anyone seeking a cleaner, more responsive alternative to the classic moving averages.
+ Traders who want a simple, visually clear way to filter out market noise and see real price direction.

Pullback Score Oscillator - Options 1M### Code Explanation for Pullback Score Oscillator - Options 1M
#### Overview
The **Pullback Score Oscillator - Options 1M** is a custom Pine Script v5 indicator designed for 1-minute charts of BankNifty and Nifty options on TradingView. It helps traders identify pullback opportunities near the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) with a scoring system, providing visual and analytical tools to time entries and exits during the NSE trading session (9:15 AM–3:30 PM IST). Ideal for options traders, it combines trend, bias, and momentum analysis to filter noise and enhance decision-making.
#### Purpose
This oscillator detects pullbacks—price reversals toward the EMA (50 or 200 periods, user-selectable)—and assigns a score (0–130) based on multiple factors. It visually highlights strong buy/sell signals with a histogram and table, offering a rule-based approach to trading BankNifty/Nifty options, adaptable to changing strike prices.
#### Key Features
1. **Trend Analysis**:
- Based on EMA (50 or 200, selectable via settings).
- Up (green) if `close >= EMA - 0.3%`, Down (red) if `close < EMA + 0.3%`, Neutral (gray) within ±0.3%.
- Purpose: Filters pullbacks by trend direction, reducing false signals in sideways markets.
2. **Bias Indicator**:
- Linked to VWAP and opening price (9:15 AM IST).
- Bearish (red) if `close < VWAP` and `close < openPrice`, Bullish (green) if `close > VWAP` and `close > openPrice`, Neutral (gray) otherwise.
- Toggleable volume-weighted momentum with ROC (Rate of Change, 5-period) and 3-bar volume spikes (`volume > SMA(indexVolume, 10) * 1.5`) for reversals.
- Purpose: Provides market context, confirming pullback strength with momentum shifts.
3. **Signal Generation**:
- “Buy Pullback” (lime) or “Short Pullback” (fuchsia) when score ≥50 and price is within 2.5% of EMA, with matching trend (Up/Down).
- Other states: “Wait”, “Near Pullback”, “No Pullback”, or “No Trend” for weaker conditions.
- Purpose: Pinpoints actionable pullback entries near EMA, aligned with trend.
4. **Score Calculation**:
- Range: 0–130, combining EMA proximity (40/20), Volume (20/0), ADX (10/0), Waldo RSI (40/20/0), and Fair Value Gap (FVG, 20/0).
- Colors: Dark Green (≥70, buy), Green (50–69, buy), Dark Red (≥70, sell), Orange (50–69, sell), Gray (<50, neutral).
- Purpose: Quantifies pullback strength, guiding trade confidence.
5. **Histogram Visualization**:
- Plots score (scaled 0–50) as a histogram: lime for `buyScore ≥ 50`, fuchsia for `sellScore ≥ 50`, gray otherwise.
- Includes green (buy) and purple (sell) triangles for pullback signals.
- Flashes for 3 bars on color change (gray to lime, gray to fuchsia, lime/fuchsia to gray) if `histogramFlashing=true`.
- Purpose: Offers a quick visual cue for momentum shifts, adjustable via toggle.
6. **Table Display**:
- 3 rows, 3 columns: Signal, Score, Bias | Trend.
- Font size toggle (`tiny`/`small`, default `small`), no borders for compactness.
- Purpose: Summarizes key data in a glance, color-coded for clarity.
7. **Customization**:
- Trading Style: Aggressive (lower thresholds), Moderate (default), Conservative (higher thresholds).
- EMA Period: 50 or 200.
- RSI Periods: 25/125 or 50/200.
- Volume Multiplier: 1.3 or 1.5.
- ADX Threshold: 20 or 25.
- FVG Lookback: 3 or 5 bars.
- Chart Type: Options or Futures.
- Extend Signals: Toggle to extend beyond 11:00 AM IST.
- Debug Plots: Show component scores (EMA, Volume, ADX, RSI, FVG).
- Flashing Toggle: Enable/disable histogram flashing.
#### How to Use
1. **Setup**:
- Add the indicator to a 1-minute BankNifty/Nifty options chart in TradingView.
- Ensure `NSE:BANKNIFTY` or `NSE:NIFTY` index data is available.
- Set `Chart Type` to “Options” for call/put signals.
2. **Configuration**:
- Select `EMA Period` (50 or 200) based on your trend preference.
- Choose `Trading Style` (Moderate recommended for balance).
- Enable `Histogram Flashing` for visual alerts on color shifts.
- Customize `Score Colors` for visibility.
3. **Trading**:
- Watch for “Buy Pullback” (lime) or “Short Pullback” (fuchsia) in the Signal row, confirmed by Bias (Bullish/Up or Bearish/Down) and Trend.
- Check Score ≥50 (Green/Orange) for strength, flashing histogram for momentum shifts.
- Enter buy calls on “Buy Pullback” with Bullish/Up, short calls on “Short Pullback” with Bearish/Down.
- Set stop-loss (5–10 points) and target (20–50 points) based on volatility.
4. **Alerts**:
- Set alerts for “Buy Pullback” and “Sell Pullback” in TradingView, active during trading hours.
#### Notes
- Optimized for NSE options trading (9:15 AM–3:30 PM IST).
- Flashing enhances visibility but can be disabled if distracting.
- No per-strike setup needed—works across strike changes.
- Debug plots help fine-tune components (EMA, Volume, ADX, RSI, FVG).
#### Version History
- Developed: July 2025 by .
- Last Updated: July 22, 2025.
#### Customization Tips for Users
- **Trend Sensitivity**: Use EMA 200 for longer trends, 50 for short-term moves.

Durdens Global M2 Liquidity Tracker🧠 Durdens Global M2 Liquidity Tracker | Bitcoin vs Liquidity, Visualized
If you’re not watching global liquidity, you’re not really trading macro.
This indicator tracks FX-adjusted M2 money supply across 20+ countries, aggregated into a single global liquidity signal. It can then be used to overlay against Bitcoin for timing macro shifts with precision.
🔍 Core Features:
🌐 USD-adjusted M2 from the US, China, Eurozone, UK, Japan, and more
📊 Normalization modes: None (raw), Index (Based to 100), Z-Score
⏳ Offset input to shift liquidity data forward — aligns with Bitcoin's delayed reaction (84–107 days common)
🧠 BTC correlation matrix: 30D, 90D, 365D correlation values
🧪 Top 3 M2 delta signals: Tracks 90-day % change for US, China, EU
🧮 Fibonacci SMAs: 13 / 34 / 89 for structural macro context
🟢🔴 Liquidity regime engine: EMA 89 defines "Risk-On" vs "Risk-Off" states
🧩 How It Works:
Each country’s M2 is multiplied by its FX rate (to USD) and summed into a single global M2 line. This ensures comparability across nations. The user can choose to:
Normalize the output (raw, indexed, or z-scored)
Shift the global M2 forward in time (offset), simulating the lag effect liquidity has on Bitcoin
Visualize macro risk conditions using EMA 89 as a liquidity regime filter
Analyze BTC correlation across 3 windows and track key regions’ M2 delta
❓ FAQ:
Why does this matter?
M2 is the monetary fuel behind asset bubbles. When liquidity rises, Bitcoin follows; with a delay. This tracker helps you front-run macro flows before they hit the chart.
Why use Index or Z-Score modes?
Raw values skew long-term visual analysis. Index mode rebases data for comparative trend tracking. Z-Score shows when liquidity is overheated or suppressed (mean reversion).
What does the offset input do?
Liquidity doesn’t hit Bitcoin instantly. Many traders use an 84–107 day forward shift to align M2 changes with BTC price action. The offset helps you visualize this.
Why track top 3 M2 regions?
US, China, and Eurozone are the heavyweights in global liquidity. Tracking their offset-day % change gives immediate insight into capital expansion or contraction.
Can I use this to trade?
Absolutely; but it’s best used as a macro filter. Combine with price structure, funding, or on-chain data to optimize timing and conviction.
⚡ Use Cases:
Spot early pivots in liquidity regimes (Risk-Off to Risk-On)
Quantify macro backdrop for Bitcoin or altcoin cycles
Understand when the Fed or PBOC are tightening or easing
Ditch the hopium. Trade with context.

Fair Value MSThis indicator introduces rigid rules to familiar concepts to better capture and visualize Market Structure and Areas of Support and Resistance in a way that is both rule-based and reactive to market movements.
Typical "Market Structure" or "Zig-Zag" methods determine swing points based on fixed thresholds (length or percentage). While this does provide rigid structure, the results may be lagging or confusing due to the timing, since it is fixed to static parameters.
I believe the concept of Fair Value Gaps can solve this problem.
As you will notice, there are no length settings in this indicator.
> FVG Market Structure
Fair Value Gaps are a well known concept used to indicate directional intent, forming when price moves aggressively in one direction, leaving behind an imbalance between buyers and sellers. While the term FVG was popularized by ICT, the underlying concept predates them, known historically as imbalances, inefficiencies, or liquidity voids in institutional trading.
Note: For simplicity, in this indicator they'll be called FVGs.
By reading into this, we are able to clearly and rigidly define market structure simply by "looking" at the chart, using objective price events rather than subjective interpretation, or lengths.
By using FVGs to determine structure direction, the length, and speed of identification lies entirely on the market. If an FVG Down occurs immediately after a New Higher High forms, it is reasonable to assume there was a seller at that point, so the script would indicate a New Swing High.
The script is NOT stuck, waiting for a % retrace, or # bars to pass to identify it as such.
Sometimes the market is in a steady trend in a single direction and no FVGs form; therefore, no structure forms. -> Why would we try to impose structure on a clear trend?
Ultimately, the FVG Structure Method uses real reactions from the market to determine Market structure, and is not fixed to specific parameters.
As with other market structure indicators, "Market Structure Breaks" are still identifiable when price moves outside the most recent swing points.
These are helpful to indicate larger direction. In the following section you will see how these help us determine when we should start the search for an "Area of Interest (AOI)".
> Areas of Interest (AOIs)
"Area of Interest (AOI)" is a generalized term, and could refer to many types of zones you might recognize under different names. While the AOIs in this indicator are specialized in their own way, I have chosen to simply use the term "Area of Interest" because it’s more important to understand how they behave and why they exist than to focus on what they’re called.
The goal of an AOI is to point out reasonable areas where buyers or sellers may be staging, as is typical with support and resistance.
In order to reasonably identify these areas, we look for cause and effect relationships. When considering these relationships, it's easier to understand the placement of the points to define each zone.
(Buyer Examples)
Cause: Strong Buyers step in at Swing Low
Effect: Fair Value Gap Forms
Cause: Sustained Buying Pressure
Effect: Market Structure Breaks
In this example, The zone is drawn from the Swing Low, to the Bottom of the FVG closest to the swing point.
In theory, the participation at the swing point was strong and aggressive enough to create the FVG imbalance. Which then found acceptance and continued into a Market Structure Break. So with these AOIs, we are trying to locate the aggressive Buyers or Sellers which were positioned BEFORE the FVG.
These Zones are intended to act as areas to look for reactions from market participants, to judge where price may be going. When revisiting these zones, we look for a reaction or a break, to further provide us information to if the buyers or sellers are still there.
As seen in the screenshot above, The information we gain is not from the creation of these zones, but from the behavior we witness when these zones are revisited.
Technical Note: In this indicator, Market Structure Breaks are only considered when price closes outside the recent swing points. Wicks are not considered as confirmation, therefore are not used to detect structural breaks.
Inside each AOI you can optionally display a readout of the volume which accumulated during the time starting at the swing point and going until the closing bar of the FVG.
Note: We are counting volume until the closing bar of the FVG since the FVG is a 3 bar formation, and aggressive volume is required throughout to create the imbalance.
There are multiple FVGs that typically occur in a single direction, but we do not look to every single one to be indicative of structure, only the first FVG in the opposite direction of the previous direction (which is determined by previous FVGs)
You will probably notice, the AOIs do not form from the closest swing or FVG to the break, this is because we are targeting larger directional changes to draw these AOIs from.
Since they do not always happen perfectly every time, the AOI formation waits for an FVG to occur AND a Market structure break to happen. One without the other will result in no Zone displaying.
> Reflection Lines
While they may seem slightly redundant, Reflection Lines serve as reminders of previous support and resistance pivots. They are drawn at the same Pivots where and AOI is formed, and extend beyond the mitigation of the AOI.
These lines are often points of price to look for "Support Flips", a re-test pattern where price trades through previous support (or resistance) then returns to it and rejects, continuing into a larger move or trend.
Their namesake is based on the behavior of price, "reflecting" at these levels.
The Reflection lines are simple and change color based on price's location.
If price is above, we would typically look to a reflection line in with support in mind.
As a basic filter, these lines use an average price to determine their color, this way they will not change their color as frequently in choppy situations.
> Session Start/End Lines
For analysis purposes and trade review, it is helpful to analyze with context.
For that reason, I have implemented start and end session lines into the indicator, these are helpful when reviewing historical charts to not provide additional context.
By default, they are set to the NYSE Session, but can be changed to fit any needs.
These lines are not advanced, and simply draw a line as the chart passes the start and end of the sessions. It's very likely that you may need to adjust the session for your specific needs.
Note: The Timezone can be adjusted within the code if needed. By Default, the indicator uses "America/New_York" Timezone.
> Conclusion
If you’ve ever felt like your structure tools were confusing or lagging, drawing zones too late, or zones that simply don't make sense, this should feel like a breath of fresh air.
By removing arbitrary length settings and instead using FVGs to define structure and as a basis for AOIs, you're getting a more accurate look at what price is doing and where it's reacting from.
This indicator is rule-based, reactive, and aims to keep things logical without fluff or false confidence.
Enjoy!
TheDevashishratio-MomentumThis custom momentum indicator is inspired by Fibonacci principles but builds a unique sequence with steps of 0.5 (i.e., 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, ...). Instead of traditional Fibonacci numbers, each step functions as a dynamic lookback period for a momentum calculation. By cycling through these fractional steps, you capture a layered view of price momentum over varying intervals.
The "Fibonacci" Series Used
Sequence:
0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, … up to a user-defined maximum
For trading indicators, lag values (lookback) must be integers, so each step is rounded to the nearest integer and duplicates are removed, resulting in lookbacks:
1, 2, 3, 4, ... N
Indicator Logic
For each selected lookback, the indicator calculates momentum as:
Momentum
n
=
close
−
close
Momentum
n
=close−close
Where:
close = current price
n = integer from your series of
You can combine these momenta for an averaged or weighted momentum profile, displaying the composite as an oscillator.
How To Use
Bullish: Oscillator above zero indicates positive composite momentum.
Bearish: Oscillator below zero indicates negative composite momentum.
Crosses: A cross from below to above zero may signal emerging bullish momentum, and vice versa.
Customization
Adjust max_step to control how many interval lags you want in your composite.
This oscillator averages across many short and mid-term momenta, reducing noise while still being sensitive to changes.
Summary
TheDevashishratio-Momentum offers a fresh momentum oscillator, blending a "Fibonacci-like" progression with technical analysis, and can be easily copy-pasted into TradingView to experiment and refine your edge.

The Momentum EMA Band V1 is a precision-engineered trading indicator designed for intraday traders and scalpers. This first version integrates three powerful technical tools — EMA Bands, Supertrend, and ADX — to help identify directional breakouts while filtering out noise and choppy conditions.
How the Indicator Works – Combined Logic
This script blends distinct but complementary tools into a single, visually intuitive system:
1️⃣ EMA Price Band – Dynamic Zone Visualization
Plots upper and lower EMA bands (default: 9-period) to form a dynamic price zone.
Green Band: Price > Upper Band → Bullish strength
Red Band: Price < Lower Band → Bearish pressure
Yellow Band: Price within Band → Neutral/consolidation zone
2️⃣ Supertrend Overlay – Reliable Trend Confirmation
Based on customizable ATR length and multiplier, Supertrend adds a directional filter.
Green Line = Uptrend
Red Line = Downtrend
3️⃣ ADX-Based No-Trade Zone – Choppy Market Filter
Manually calculated ADX (default: 14) highlights weak trend conditions.
ADX below threshold (default: 20) + Price within Band → Gray background, signaling low-momentum zones.
Optional gray triangle marker flags beginning of sideways market.
Why This Mashup & How the Indicators Work Together
This mashup creates a high-conviction, rules-based breakout system:
Supertrend defines the primary trend direction — ensuring trades are aligned with momentum.
EMA Band provides structure and timing — confirming breakouts with retest logic, reducing false entries.
ADX measures trend strength — filtering out sideways markets and enhancing trade quality.
Each component plays a specific role:
✅ Supertrend = Trend bias
✅ EMA Band = Breakout + Retest validation
✅ ADX = Momentum confirmation
Together, they form a multi-layered confirmation model that reduces noise, avoids premature entries, and improves trade accuracy.
💡 Practical Application
Momentum Breakouts: Enter when price breaks out of EMA Band with Supertrend confirmation
Avoid Whipsaws: Skip trades during gray-shaded low-momentum periods
Intraday Scalping Edge: Tailored for lower timeframes (5min–15min) where noise is frequent

Critical ZonesIntraday trading in Index (Nifty, Bank Nifty, Fin Nifty , Midcap, Sensex ) and F & O Stocks of the Indian Market,Global,Crypto all Indicator is design.
*Outcome of the Indicator* :
1) 4 Zones Resistance Zone= Shown by two red color lines (Resistance Zone on Top )
Support Zone= Shown by two green color lines (Support Zone on Bottom)
Intermediate 2 Critical Zones shown by Blue color Lines (Intermediate Zone)
How to trade on these critical zones: -
a) If Price is above Critical Zone 1 & below the Critical Zone 2 then Critical Zone 1 = Should work as immediate Support of the price and critical zone will work
as resistance zone.
b) If Price Breaks Resistance zone (at 15 Minutes Chart) and Sustain then Its Bullish Signal - Maximum time price will not go below resistance zone
i.e. resistance zone will work as support zone on that day. If Price Breaks Support zone (at 15 Minutes Chart) and Sustain then Its Bearish Signal
- Maximum time price will not go above support zone i.e. support zone will work as resistance zone on that day.
2) Auto Buyers or Sellers as per the situation generated by this indicator on the basis of the predefined parameters (Used by me for intraday & scalping)
which will be helpful to get momentum trades. One can get the help in option buying with this indicator and it can be used for scalping also.
3) For Second confirmation of the market trend Indicator provides two EMA Lines one is small (Green) & Big One is (Red).
If green line is above red line than market is bullish & on the other hand if green line is below red line market is bearish.
Point to remember:
Do not consider the signal of Buyers or Sellers on running Candle i.e you would wait for the current candle to close before evaluating the conditions to generate a signal.
By waiting for the candle to close, you can eliminate any false signals or noise that may occur during the formation of the candle.
For example, if you are using a 5-minute chart, you would wait for the current 5-minute candle to complete before evaluating the conditions for generating a signal.
How to use Indicator:
1) Suitable timeframe of 5 minutes to get the accurate signals for intraday trading and scalping.
2) To avoid overtrading only first 2-3 Buyers & Sellers signals of the day should be considered for trading in sideways market.
3) On the basis of this indicator no trade will be taken after 3.00 PM.
4) You can incorporate any other indicators and price action for second confirmation of the trade.
How to trade:
We have given the name signal candle which candle generated the buyers or sellers signals and red line also start plotted on the chart along
with sellers signal till the trend is in same direction
and in case of buyers signal green line start plotted along with buy signal till the trend is in same direction.
When to enter in the trade :
After breaking of the High (In case of Buy) or breaking of Low (In Case of Sell) of signal candle.
A) Buy Entry – After generation of the Buyers signal by the indicator and high of signal candle breaks.
For Example,
the high of the signal candle is 24000.In that case we will trade on the next candle which break the high of the signal candle i.e. 24000.
B) Sell Entry - After generation of the Sellers signal by the indicator and low of signal candle breaks.
For Example, the low of the signal candle is 23900.In that case we will trade on the next candle which break the low of the signal candle i.e. 23900.
Stop Loss Level:
The stop loss level is set based on the high of the signal candle for sellers signals and the low of the signal candle for buyers signals.
In other words, if indicator generate a sellers signal, the stop loss will be placed at the high of the candle that generated the sellers signal.
If indicator generate a buyers signal, the stop loss will be placed at the low of the candle that generated the buyers signal.
In case the size of the signal candle in case of Nifty, Finnifty & Midcap is less than 15 Points and in case of Bank Nifty 25 points than SL will the higher or lower of the previous candle of the signal candle.
It is important to note that the stop loss level should be placed properly and used consistently to manage the risk of your trades effectively.

[GetSparx] Nova Pro⚡ Nova Pro – Position Calculator
This indicator is a user-friendly TradingView indicator designed to help traders plan and visualize their entry and exit points, calculate position sizing, and instantly display key risk metrics.
By simply entering three price levels (Entry, Take Profit and Stop Loss) along with a risk amount in USD, the indicator draws color-coded lines and labels on the chart, and generates a concise table with all computed values. This allows you to assess the risk-reward profile of any trade at a glance, without performing manual calculations.
⚙️ How It Works
When the indicator is added to the chart it will ask to specify the price inputs and the risk amount in USD.
Price Inputs (Entry, TP, SL)
• You specify three price levels: the entry price, the profit target (Take Profit) and the loss threshold (Stop Loss).
• Inputs use TradingView’s native price-picker fields. Any change is immediately reflected on the chart.
Visual Display
• Each level is plotted as a line stretching into the future for enough room.
• Labels on the right show the exact price, color-coded: orange for Entry, green for TP and red for SL.
• Previous lines and labels are automatically removed when parameters change, ensuring the chart remains clean.
Risk Calculations
• The entered risk amount (in USD) is combined with the distance between Entry and SL to compute the optimal number of units (Qty) to trade.
• The script automatically detects whether it’s a long or short trade based on the relative positions of Entry and TP.
• Note that the risk and reward calculations do not factor in exchange fees, slippage, funding rates or any other trading costs. Actual profit and loss may differ once transaction fees and market execution variances are applied, so be sure to adjust your position sizing and expectations accordingly.
🎯 What You Can Do With It

📊 Explanation of Table Values
• Entry
Calculation: rounded to the nearest tick of your entered entry price.
Marks the exact level at which you initiate the trade and serves as the reference point for all further risk and reward calculations.
• Quantity (Qty)
Calculation: Risk USD ÷ (Entry − Stop Loss).
Determines how many units, contracts or shares to trade so that a stop-out at your SL equals exactly your predefined dollar risk, resulting in consistent per-trade exposure.
• Risk to Reward (RR)
Calculation: (Take Profit − Entry) ÷ (Entry − Stop Loss).
Expresses how many dollars of potential profit you target for each dollar you risk. Values above 1 mean the reward exceeds the risk, guiding you to favorable setups.
• Take Profit (TP)
Calculation: rounded to the nearest tick of your entered take-profit price.
Your target exit level for booking gains, highlighted in green on the chart. Shows where you plan to capture profits if the market moves in your favor.
• Profit
Calculation: Qty × (Take Profit − Entry).
Gives the absolute potential gain in USD if price reaches your TP. Useful for comparing total return across different instruments or setups.
• Stop Loss (SL)
Calculation: rounded to the nearest tick of your entered stop-loss price.
The level at which your trade is automatically closed to cap losses, highlighted in red on the chart. Ensures you never lose more than your defined risk amount.
• Risk
Calculation: equals the entered Risk USD.
The maximum dollar amount you’re willing to lose on this trade. Acts as the upper boundary for your exposure, keeping your position sizing disciplined.

Ease of Movement Z-Score Trend | DextraGeneral Description:
The "Ease of Movement Z-Score Trend | Dextra" (EOM-Z Trend) is an innovative technical analysis tool that combines the Ease of Movement (EOM) concept with Z-Score to measure how easily price moves relative to volume, while identifying market trends with intuitive visualization. This indicator is designed to help traders detect uptrend and downtrend phases with precision, enhanced by candle coloring for direct trend representation on the chart.
Key Features
Ease of Movement (EOM): Measures how easily price moves based on the change in the midpoint price and volume, normalized with Z-Score for statistical analysis.
Z-Score Normalization: Provides an indication of deviations from the mean, enabling the identification of overbought or oversold conditions.
Adjustable Thresholds: Users can customize upper and lower thresholds to define trend boundaries.
Candle Coloring: Visual trend representation with green (uptrend), red (downtrend), and gray (neutral) candles.
Flexibility: Adjustable for different timeframes and assets.
How It Works
The indicator operates through the following steps:
EOM Calculation:
hl2 = (high + low) / 2: Calculates the average midpoint price per bar.
eom = ta.sma(10000 * ta.change(hl2) * (high - low) / volume, length): EOM is computed as the smoothed average of the price midpoint change multiplied by the price range per unit volume, scaled by 10,000, over length bars (default 20).
Z-Score Calculation:
mean_eom = ta.sma(eom, z_length): Average EOM over z_length bars (default 93).
std_dev_eom = ta.stdev(eom, z_length): Standard deviation of EOM.
z_score = (eom - mean_eom) / std_dev_eom: Z-Score indicating how far EOM deviates from its mean in standard deviation units.
Trend Detection:
upperthreshold (default 1.03) and lowerthreshold (default -1.63): Thresholds to classify uptrend (if Z-Score > upperthreshold) and downtrend (if Z-Score < lowerthreshold).
eom_is_up and eom_is_down: Logical variables for trend status.
Visualization:
plot(z_score, ...): Z-Score line plotted with green (uptrend), red (downtrend), or gray (neutral) coloring.
plotcandle(...): Candles colored green, red, or gray based on trend.
hline(...): Dashed lines marking the thresholds.
Input Settings
EOM Length (default 20): Period for calculating EOM, determining sensitivity to price changes.
Z-Score Lookback Period (default 93): Period for calculating the Z-Score mean and standard deviation.
Uptrend Threshold (default 1.03): Minimum Z-Score value to classify an uptrend.
Downtrend Threshold (default -1.93): Maximum Z-Score value to classify a downtrend.
How to Use
Installation: Add the indicator via the "Indicators" menu in TradingView and search for "EOM-Z Trend | Dextra".
Customization:
Adjust EOM Length and Z-Score Lookback Period based on the timeframe (e.g., 20 and 93 for daily timeframes).
Set Uptrend Threshold and Downtrend Threshold according to preference or asset characteristics (e.g., lower to 0.8 and -1.5 for volatile markets).
Interpretation:
Uptrend (Green): Z-Score above upperthreshold, indicating strong upward price movement.
Downtrend (Red): Z-Score below lowerthreshold, indicating significant downward movement.
Neutral (Gray): Conditions between thresholds, suggesting a sideways market.
Use candle coloring as the primary visual guide, combined with the Z-Score line for confirmation.
Advantages
Intuitive Visualization: Candle coloring simplifies trend identification without deep analysis.
Flexibility: Customizable parameters allow adaptation to various markets.
Statistical Analysis: Z-Score provides a robust perspective on price deviations from the norm.
No Repainting: The indicator uses historical data and does not alter values after a bar closes.
Limitations
Volume Dependency: Requires accurate volume data; an error occurs if volume is unavailable.
Market Context: Effectiveness depends on properly tuned thresholds for specific assets.
Lack of Additional Signals: No built-in alerts or supplementary confirmation indicators.
Recommendations
Ideal Timeframe: Daily (1D) or (2D) for stable trends.
Combination: Pair with others indicators for signal validation.
Optimization: Test thresholds on historical data of the traded asset for optimal results.
Important Notes
This indicator relies entirely on internal TradingView data (high, low, close, volume) and does not integrate on-chain data. Ensure your data provider supports volume to avoid errors. This version (1.0) is the initial release, with potential future updates including features like alerts or multi-timeframe analysis.
Directional Market Efficiency [QuantAlgo]🟢 Overview
The Directional Market Efficiency indicator is an advanced trend analysis tool that measures how efficiently price moves in a given direction relative to the total price movement over a specified period. Unlike traditional momentum oscillators that only measure price change magnitude, this indicator combines efficiency measurement with directional bias to provide a comprehensive view of market behavior ranging from -1 (perfectly efficient downward movement) to +1 (perfectly efficient upward movement).
The indicator transforms the classic Efficiency Ratio concept by incorporating directional bias, creating a normalized oscillator that simultaneously reveals trend strength, direction, and market regime (trending vs. ranging). This dual-purpose functionality helps traders and investors identify high-probability trend continuation opportunities while filtering out choppy, inefficient price movements that often lead to false signals and whipsaws.
🟢 How It Works
The indicator employs a sophisticated two-step calculation process that first measures pure efficiency, then applies directional weighting to create the final signal. The efficiency calculation compares the absolute net price change over a lookback period to the sum of all individual bar-to-bar price movements during that same period. This ratio reveals how much of the total price movement contributed to actual progress in a specific direction.
The directional component applies the mathematical sign of the net price change (positive for upward movement, negative for downward movement) to the efficiency ratio, creating values between -1 and +1. The resulting Directional Efficiency is then smoothed using an Exponential Moving Average to reduce noise while maintaining responsiveness. Additionally, the system incorporates a configurable threshold level that distinguishes between trending markets (high efficiency) and ranging markets (low efficiency), enabling regime-based analysis and strategy adaptation.
🟢 How to Use
1. Signal Interpretation and Market Regime Analysis
Positive Territory (Above Zero): Indicates efficient upward price movement with bullish directional bias and favorable conditions for long positions
Negative Territory (Below Zero): Signals efficient downward price movement with bearish directional bias and favorable conditions for short positions
High Absolute Values (±0.4 to ±1.0): Represent highly efficient trending conditions with strong directional conviction and reduced noise
Low Absolute Values (±0.1 to ±0.3): Suggest ranging or consolidating markets with inefficient price movement and increased whipsaw risk
Zero Line Crosses: Mark critical directional shifts and provide primary entry/exit signals for trend-following strategies
2. Threshold-Based Market Regime Classification
Above Threshold (Trending Markets): When efficiency exceeds the threshold level, markets are classified as trending, favoring momentum strategies
Below Threshold (Ranging Markets): When efficiency falls below the threshold, markets are classified as ranging, favoring mean reversion approaches
3. Preset Configurations for Different Trading Styles
Default
Universally applicable configuration optimized for medium-term analysis across multiple timeframes and asset classes, providing balanced sensitivity and noise filtering.
Scalping
Highly responsive setup for ultra-short-term trades with increased sensitivity to quick efficiency changes. Best suited for 1-15 minute charts and rapid-fire trading approaches.
Swing Trading
Designed for multi-day position holding with enhanced noise filtering and focus on sustained efficiency trends. Optimal for 1-4 hour and daily timeframe analysis.
🟢 Pro Tips for Trading and Investing
→ Trend Continuation Filter: Enter long positions when Directional Efficiency crosses above zero in trending markets (above threshold) and short positions when crossing below zero, ensuring alignment with efficient price movement.
→ Range Trading Optimization: In ranging markets (below threshold), take profits on extreme readings and enter mean reversion trades when efficiency approaches zero from either direction.
→ Multi-Timeframe Confluence: Combine higher timeframe trend direction with lower timeframe efficiency signals for optimal entry timing.
→ Risk Management Enhancement: Reduce position sizes or avoid new entries when efficiency readings are weak (near zero), as these conditions indicate higher probability of choppy, unpredictable price movement.
→ Signal Strength Assessment: Prioritize trades with high absolute efficiency values (±0.4 or higher) as these represent the most reliable directional moves with reduced likelihood of immediate reversal.
→ Regime Transition Trading: Watch for efficiency threshold breaks combined with directional changes as these often mark significant trend initiation or termination points requiring strategic position adjustments.
→ Alert Integration: Utilize the built-in alert system for real time notifications of zero-line crosses, threshold breaks, and regime changes to maintain constant market awareness without continuous chart monitoring.

Expansion Triangle [TradingFinder] MegaPhone Broadening🔵 Introduction
The Expanding Triangle, also known as the Broadening Formation, is one of the key technical analysis patterns that clearly reflects growing market volatility, increasing indecision among participants, and the potential for sharp price explosions.
This pattern is typically defined by a sequence of higher highs and lower lows, forming within two diverging trendlines. Unlike traditional triangles that converge to a breakout point, the expanding triangle pattern becomes wider over time, leaving no precise apex for a breakout to occur.
From a price action perspective, the pattern represents a prolonged tug-of-war between buyers and sellers, where neither side has taken control yet. Each aggressive swing opens the door to new opportunities whether it's a trend reversal, range trading, or a momentum breakout. This dual nature makes the pattern highly versatile across market conditions, from exhausted trend ends to volatile consolidation zones.
The custom-built indicator for this pattern uses a combination of smart algorithms and detailed analysis of swing dynamics to automatically detect expanding triangles and highlight low-risk entry points.
Traders can use this tool to capitalize on high-probability setups from shorting near the upper edge of the structure with confirmation, to trading bearish breakouts during trend continuations, or entering long positions near the lower boundary during bullish reversals. The chart examples included in this article demonstrate these three highly practical trading scenarios in live market conditions.
A major advantage of this indicator lies in its structural filtering engine, which analyzes the behavior of each price leg in the triangle. With four adjustable filter levels from Very Aggressive, which highlights all potential patterns, to Very Defensive, which only triggers when price actually touches the triangle's trendlines the indicator ensures that only structurally sound and verified setups appear on the chart, reducing noise and false signals significantly.
Long Setup :
Short Setup :
🔵 How to Use
The pattern typically forms in conditions of heightened uncertainty and volatility, where price swings generate a series of higher highs and lower lows. The expanding triangle consists of three key legs bounded by diverging trendlines. The indicator intelligently analyzes each leg's direction and angle to determine whether a valid pattern is forming.
At the core of the indicator’s logic is its leg filtering system, which controls the quality of the pattern and filters out weak or noisy setups. Four structural filter modes are available to suit different trading styles and risk preferences. In Very Aggressive mode, filters are disabled, and the indicator detects any pattern purely based on the sequence of swing points.
This mode is ideal for traders who want to see everything and apply their own discretion.
In Aggressive mode, the indicator checks whether each new leg extends no more than twice the length of the previous one. If a leg overshoots excessively, the structure is invalidated.
In Defensive mode, the filter enforces a minimum movement requirement each leg must move at least 2% of the previous one. This prevents the formation of shallow, weak patterns that visually resemble triangles but lack substance.
The strictest setting, Very Defensive, combines all previous filters and additionally requires the price to physically touch the triangle’s trendlines before issuing a signal. This ensures that setups only appear when real market interaction with key structural levels has occurred, not based on assumptions or geometry alone. This mode is ideal for traders seeking maximum precision and minimal risk.
🟣 Bullish Setup
A bullish setup within the Expanding Triangle pattern occurs when price revisits the lower support boundary after a series of broad swings typically near the third leg of the formation. This area often represents a shift in momentum, where sellers begin to lose strength and buyers prepare to take control.
Ideally, the setup is accompanied by a bullish reversal candle (e.g. doji, pin bar, or engulfing) near the lower trendline. If the Very Defensive filter is active, the indicator will only issue a signal if price makes a confirmed touch on the trendline and reacts from that level. This significantly improves signal accuracy and filters out premature entries.
After confirmation, traders may choose to enter a long position on the bullish candle or shortly afterward. A logical stop-loss is placed just below the recent swing low within the pattern. The target can be set at or near the upper trendline, or projected using the full height of the triangle added to the breakout point. On higher timeframes, this reversal often marks the beginning of a strong uptrend.
🟣 Bearish Setup
A bearish setup forms when price climbs toward the upper resistance trendline, usually as the third leg completes. This is where buyers often begin to show exhaustion, and sellers step in with strength providing an ideal low-risk entry point for short positions.
As with the bullish setup, if the Candle Confirmation filter is enabled, the indicator will only show a signal when a bearish reversal candle forms at the point of contact. If Defensive or Very Defensive filters are also active, the setup must meet strict criteria of proportionate leg movement and an actual trendline touch to qualify.
Once confirmed, traders can enter on the reversal candle, placing a stop-loss slightly above the recent high. The target can be set at the lower trendline or calculated based on the triangle's full height, projected downward. This setup is particularly useful at the end of weak bullish trends or in volatile market tops.
🔵 Settings
🟣 Logic Settings
Pivot Period : Defines how many bars are analyzed to identify swing highs and lows. Higher values detect larger, slower structures, while lower values respond to faster patterns. The default value of 13 offers a balanced sensitivity.
Pattern Filter :
Very Aggressive : Detects all patterns based on point sequence with no structural checks.
Aggressive : Ensures each leg is no more than 2x the size of the previous one.
Defensive : Requires each leg to be at least 2% the size of the previous leg.
Very Defensive : The strictest level; only confirms patterns when price touches trendlines.
Candle Confirmation : When enabled, the indicator requires a valid confirmation candle (doji, pin bar, engulfing) at the interaction point with the trendline before issuing a signal. This reduces false entries and improves entry precision.
🟣 Alert Settings
Alert : Enables alerts for SSS.
Message Frequency : Determines the frequency of alerts. Options include 'All' (every function call), 'Once Per Bar' (first call within the bar), and 'Once Per Bar Close' (final script execution of the real-time bar). Default is 'Once per Bar'.
Show Alert Time by Time Zone : Configures the time zone for alert messages. Default is 'UTC'.
🔵 Conclusion
The Expanding Triangle pattern, with its wide structure and volatility-driven nature, represents chaos but also opportunity. For traders who can read its behavior, it provides some of the most powerful setups for reversals, breakouts, and range-based trades. While the pattern may seem messy at first glance, it is built on clear logic and when properly detected, it offers high-probability opportunities.
This indicator doesn’t just draw expanding triangles it intelligently evaluates their structural quality, validates price interaction through candle confirmation, and allows the trader to fine-tune the detection logic through adjustable filter levels. Whether you’re a reversal trader looking for a turning point, or a breakout trader hunting momentum, this tool adapts to your strategy.
In volatile or uncertain markets, where fakeouts and sudden shifts are common, this indicator can become a cornerstone of your trading system helping you turn volatility into structured, high-quality opportunities.
