Gold Total Market Cap By Wave Trader Gold Total Market Cap (Updated 2025)
Overview
This indicator calculates and visualizes the total market capitalization of gold in real-time, based on the current XAUUSD spot price and the estimated above-ground gold supply. It transforms the raw gold price into a scaled "market cap" view (in trillions USD), helping traders contextualize gold's global value—often compared to stocks, crypto, or fiat reserves. As of October 2025, gold's cap hovers around $26–27T, underscoring its status as a premier safe-haven asset.
How It Works
Core Formula: Market Cap = Gold Price (USD/oz) × Total Supply (troy oz), scaled to trillions for chart readability.
Supply Data: Defaults to the World Gold Council (WGC) mid-2025 estimate of ~218,000 metric tonnes (~7.01B troy oz), but customizable for scenarios like historical or projected figures.
Plotted as a smooth yellow line below the price pane, mirroring gold's price movements but in cap terms.
Key Features
Dynamic Label: A real-time label on the yellow line displays the exact market cap (e.g., "26.8") for instant reference, styled like popular TradingView cap indicators.
Reference Line: Horizontal dashed line at 25T USD to highlight key thresholds (e.g., surpassing Bitcoin's cap).
Info Table: Top-right panel shows current gold price and full market cap (e.g., "26.8T USD") for quick stats.
Overlay-Free: Designed for a separate pane to avoid cluttering your main XAUUSD chart.
Data Sources & Customization
Relies on live XAUUSD close prices from TradingView.
Supply input: Switch between "WGC Mid-2025" (default) or custom values—ideal for sensitivity analysis (e.g., adding future mining output).
No external API calls; fully self-contained for fast performance.
Usage Tips
For Gold Traders: Spot divergences between price momentum and cap growth to gauge overbought/oversold conditions.
Portfolio Context: Compare to S&P 500 cap (~$50T) or BTC (~$2T) by adding multi-symbol alerts.
Timeframes: Best on daily/weekly for long-term trends; works on 1H+ for intraday macro views.
Alerts: Set notifications for cap milestones (e.g., "Gold Cap > 28T") via TradingView's alert system.
Track gold's "infinite market cap" evolution—because unlike stocks, gold's supply grows slowly, amplifying price impact. Updated for 2025 data; feedback welcome! 🚀

## The Edge: Smart Zone-Based Trading
This indicator's primary advantage lies in its zone-based approach that naturally encompasses critical areas of support and resistance. These zones capture key market structures including:
- High-volume price clusters
- Support-to-resistance (and resistance-to-support) transitions
- Other significant price action areas
By identifying these zones, the indicator addresses two of the most challenging problems in trading : optimal stop loss placement and take profit targeting.
---
## How to Use This Indicator
### Entry Rules: Limit Orders Only
Critical: All entries must be LIMIT orders. Never use market orders or stop orders.
Here's why:
- Why limit orders? The zones represent areas of strong support and resistance (an unintended but beneficial feature of the indicator's design). Price frequently pulls back to these zones before continuing, giving you optimal entry opportunities.
- Why not market orders? You'll miss the better prices at the zone boundaries.
- Why not stop orders? These zones are areas of intense market activity. Price often "spikes" through zone borders to capture liquidity before reversing in the intended direction. Stop orders would get triggered on these false moves.
Proper Entry Technique:
1. Wait for the candle/bar to close
2. Place your limit order at the zone border
3. Let price come to you
### Take Profit Strategy
Target the next zone (recommended) or multiple zones ahead based on your risk appetite. The simplest and most consistent approach is single-zone targeting.
---
## Your Responsibility: Confluence Analysis
The indicator tells you WHERE to enter, WHERE to place your stop loss, and WHERE to take profit. But you must determine WHEN to trade by identifying confluences.
### Minimum Requirement: 3 Confluences
Before placing any order, look for at least three confirming signals from:
- Divergences : RSI, MFI, or CVD candles
- Volume analysis : Volume Profile
- Order flow : Footprint charts
- Price action : Candlestick patterns
- Market theories : Wyckoff, Dow Theory, Elliott Wave
- Other technical tools of your choice
### You Have Time
The indicator provides alerts when price approaches a zone . During the pullback, you have time to conduct thorough confluence analysis. Only place your limit order after identifying your 3+ confluences.
---
## Alternative Approaches
If you backtest and find that market entries work better for your specific strategy (e.g., using moving average crossovers or other triggers), you're free to adapt the method. However, the limit order approach outlined above is designed to work consistently for everyone, regardless of whether they have an existing strategy.

## How the Indicator Works: The Mathematical Foundation
### Based on Chaos Theory - A Predictive, Not Reactive System
This indicator represents a fundamentally different approach to market analysis. Unlike traditional indicators that describe what price has done (using averages, volume, volatility), this system predicts where price will go using chaos theory mathematics.
Key Principle : Price behaves as a complex dynamical system that is highly sensitive to initial conditions - similar to weather patterns or planetary orbits. While we cannot predict when price will reach a destination, we can predict where it will likely travel within probability bounds.
### What Makes This Different
Traditional Indicators:
- React to historical data with lagging signals
- Use linear mathematics and statistical averages
- Assume markets are random or follow simple patterns
This Chaos Theory Approach:
- Proactively identifies future probability zones
- Uses non-linear complex systems mathematics
- Treats markets as chaotic but mathematically predictable
- Applies universal mathematical laws (no curve fitting needed)
### The Butterfly Effect in Trading
Small changes at critical junctures can cascade into major trend changes. The indicator identifies these critical probability zones - mathematical "attractors" toward which price is naturally drawn.
### Understanding the Zones
Orange Zones : Mathematical probability destinations where price is likely to expand
Activation Rule : Price must close outside any zone (full candle body, not just wicks) to activate the next probability destination
Primary Principle : Once activated, price travels to the next zone before closing back behind the originating zone border
Red Dots : Indicate areas where valid zone sets were available for trading. Empty spaces mean price closed past the highest/lowest zone or zones were invalidated.
### Probability-Based Performance
The indicator includes a statistics panel that measures real-time success rates - tracking how often price reaches predicted zones before invalidation. This transparent performance measurement allows you to verify probability calculations for your specific symbol and timeframe.
### Universal Application
Because this is based on fundamental mathematical principles (not optimized parameters), it works consistently across:
- All markets: Forex, stocks, crypto, commodities
- All timeframes: From scalping to position trading
- All conditions: No adjustments needed for different instruments
Important Understanding : Price is a fractal structure with multiple initial conditions forming and clashing simultaneously. External events and market manipulation can interfere with natural system progression. This is why we provide probabilities, not certainties.
---
Summary : This indicator gives you the framework—precise zones for entries, stops, and targets based on chaos theory mathematics. You provide the timing through confluence analysis. Together, this creates a complete, systematic approach to trading with probability on your side.

Moving Averages) to generate trading signals and trend confirmation.
Trend Identification with EMA
Two EMAs are used to determine the overall market trend (commonly a short-term EMA and a long-term EMA).
When the short EMA crosses above the long EMA, it indicates an uptrend.
When the short EMA crosses below the long EMA, it signals a downtrend.
Signal Confirmation with MACD
The MACD line and Signal line are analyzed to detect momentum shifts.
A bullish signal occurs when the MACD line crosses above the Signal line, especially if the EMAs confirm an uptrend.
A bearish signal occurs when the MACD line crosses below the Signal line, especially if the EMAs confirm a downtrend.
Trading Logic
Buy signals appear only when both the EMA trend is bullish and the MACD confirms momentum to the upside.
Sell signals appear only when both the EMA trend is bearish and the MACD confirms momentum to the downside.

Brownian Motion Probabilistic Forecasting (Time Adaptive)Probabilistic Price Forecast Indicator
Overview
The Probabilistic Price Forecast is an advanced technical analysis tool designed for the TradingView platform. Instead of predicting a single future price, this indicator uses a Monte Carlo simulation to model thousands of potential future price paths, generating a cone of possibilities and calculating the probability of specific outcomes.
This allows traders to move beyond simple price targets and ask more sophisticated questions, such as: "What is the probability that this stock will increase by 5% over the next 24 hours?"
Core Concept: Geometric Brownian Motion
The indicator's forecasting model is built on the principles of Geometric Brownian Motion (GBM) , a widely accepted mathematical model for describing the random movements of financial asset prices. The core idea is that the next price step is a function of the asset's historical trend (drift), its volatility, and a random "shock."
The formula used to project each price step in the simulation is:
next_price = current_price * exp( (μ - (σ²/2))Δt + σZ√(Δt) )
Where:
μ (mu) represents the drift , which is the average historical return.
σ (sigma) represents the volatility , measured by the standard deviation of historical returns.
Z is a random variable from a standard normal distribution, representing the random "shock" or new information affecting the price.
Δt (delta t) is the time step for each projection.
How It Works
The indicator performs a comprehensive analysis on the most recent bar of the chart:
**Historical Analysis**: It first analyzes a user-defined historical period (e.g., the last 240 hours of price data) to calculate the asset's historical drift (μ) and volatility (σ) from its logarithmic returns.
**Monte Carlo Simulation**: It then runs thousands of simulations (e.g., 2000) of future price paths over a specified forecast period (e.g., the next 24 hours). Each path is unique due to the random shock (Z) applied at every step.
**Probability Distribution**: After all simulations are complete, it collects the final price of each path and sorts them to build a probability distribution of potential outcomes.
**Visualization and Signaling**: Finally, it visualizes this distribution on the chart and generates signals based on the user's criteria.
Key Features & Configuration
The indicator is highly configurable, allowing you to tailor its analysis to your specific needs.
Time-Adaptive Periods
The lookback and forecast periods are defined in hours , not bars. The script automatically converts these hour-based inputs into the correct number of bars based on the chart's current timeframe, ensuring the analysis remains consistent across different chart resolutions.
Forecast Quartiles
You can visualize the forecast as a "cone of probability" on the chart. The indicator draws lines and a shaded area representing the price levels for different quartiles (percentiles) of the simulation results. By default, this shows the range between the 25th and 95th percentiles.
Independent Bullish and Bearish Signals
The indicator allows you to set independent criteria for bullish and bearish signals, providing greater flexibility. You can configure:
A bullish signal for an X% confidence of a Y% price increase.
A bearish signal for a W% confidence of a Z% price decrease.
For example, you can set it to alert you for a 90% chance of a 2% drop, while simultaneously looking for a 60% chance of a 10% rally.
How to Interpret the Indicator
The Forecast Cone : The blue shaded area on the chart represents the probable range of future prices. The width of the cone indicates the expected volatility; a wider cone means higher uncertainty. The price labels on the right side of the cone show the calculated percentile levels at the end of the forecast period.
Green Signal Label : A green "UP signal" label appears when the probability of the price increasing by your target percentage exceeds your defined confidence level.
Red Signal Label : A red "DOWN signal" label appears when the probability of the price decreasing by your target percentage exceeds your confidence level.
This tool provides a statistical edge for understanding future possibilities but should be used in conjunction with other analysis techniques.
Volume Based Sampling [BackQuant]Volume Based Sampling
What this does
This indicator converts the usual time-based stream of candles into an event-based stream of “synthetic” bars that are created only when enough trading activity has occurred . You choose the activity definition:
Volume bars : create a new synthetic bar whenever the cumulative number of shares/contracts traded reaches a threshold.
Dollar bars : create a new synthetic bar whenever the cumulative traded dollar value (price × volume) reaches a threshold.
The script then keeps an internal ledger of these synthetic opens, highs, lows, closes, and volumes, and can display them as candles, plot a moving average calculated over the synthetic closes, mark each time a new sample is formed, and optionally overlay the native time-bars for comparison.
Why event-based sampling matters
Markets do not release information on a clock: activity clusters during news, opens/closes, and liquidity shocks. Event-based bars normalize for that heteroskedastic arrival of information: during active periods you get more bars (finer resolution); during quiet periods you get fewer bars (coarser resolution). Research shows this can reduce microstructure pathologies and produce series that are closer to i.i.d. and more suitable for statistical modeling and ML. In particular:
Volume and dollar bars are a common event-time alternative to time bars in quantitative research and are discussed extensively in Advances in Financial Machine Learning (AFML). These bars aim to homogenize information flow by sampling on traded size or value rather than elapsed seconds.
The Volume Clock perspective models market activity in “volume time,” showing that many intraday phenomena (volatility, liquidity shocks) are better explained when time is measured by traded volume instead of seconds.
Related market microstructure work on flow toxicity and liquidity highlights that the risk dealers face is tied to information intensity of order flow, again arguing for activity-based clocks.
How the indicator works (plain English)
Choose your bucket type
Volume : accumulate volume until it meets a threshold.
Dollar Bars : accumulate close × volume until it meets a dollar threshold.
Pick the threshold rule
Dynamic threshold : by default, the script computes a rolling statistic (mean or median) of recent activity to set the next bucket size. This adapts bar size to changing conditions (e.g., busier sessions produce more frequent synthetic bars).
Fixed threshold : optionally override with a constant target (e.g., exactly 100,000 contracts per synthetic bar, or $5,000,000 per dollar bar).
Build the synthetic bar
While a bucket fills, the script tracks:
o_s: first price of the bucket (synthetic open)
h_s: running maximum price (synthetic high)
l_s: running minimum price (synthetic low)
c_s: last price seen (synthetic close)
v_s: cumulative native volume inside the bucket
d_samples: number of native bars consumed to complete the bucket (a proxy for “how fast” the threshold filled)
Emit a new sample
Once the bucket meets/exceeds the threshold, a new synthetic bar is finalized and stored. If overflow occurs (e.g., a single native bar pushes you past the threshold by a lot), the code will emit multiple synthetic samples to account for the extra activity.
Maintain a rolling history efficiently
A ring buffer can overwrite the oldest samples when you hit your Max Stored Samples cap, keeping memory usage stable.
Compute synthetic-space statistics
The script computes an SMA over the last N synthetic closes and basic descriptors like average bars per synthetic sample, mean and standard deviation of synthetic returns, and more. These are all in event time , not clock time.
Inputs and options you will actually use
Data Settings
Sampling Method : Volume or Dollar Bars.
Rolling Lookback : window used to estimate the dynamic threshold from recent activity.
Filter : Mean or Median for the dynamic threshold. Median is more robust to spikes.
Use Fixed? / Fixed Threshold : override dynamic sizing with a constant target.
Max Stored Samples : cap on synthetic history to keep performance snappy.
Use Ring Buffer : turn on to recycle storage when at capacity.
Indicator Settings
SMA over last N samples : moving average in synthetic space . Because its index is sample count, not minutes, it adapts naturally: more updates in busy regimes, fewer in quiet regimes.
Visuals
Show Synthetic Bars : plot the synthetic OHLC candles.
Candle Color Mode :
Green/Red: directional close vs open
Volume Intensity: opacity scales with synthetic size
Neutral: single color
Adaptive: graded by how large the bucket was relative to threshold
Mark new samples : drop a small marker whenever a new synthetic bar prints.
Comparison & Research
Show Time Bars : overlay the native time-based candles to visually compare how the two sampling schemes differ.
How to read it, step by step
Turn on “Synthetic Bars” and optionally overlay “Time Bars.” You will see that during high-activity bursts, synthetic bars print much faster than time bars.
Watch the synthetic SMA . Crosses in synthetic space can be more meaningful because each update represents a roughly comparable amount of traded information.
Use the “Avg Bars per Sample” in the info table as a regime signal. Falling average bars per sample means activity is clustering, often coincident with higher realized volatility.
Try Dollar Bars when price varies a lot but share count does not; they normalize by dollar risk taken in each sample. Volume Bars are ideal when share count is a better proxy for information flow in your instrument.
Quant finance background and citations
Event time vs. clock time : Easley, López de Prado, and O’Hara advocate measuring intraday phenomena on a volume clock to better align sampling with information arrival. This framing helps explain volatility bursts and liquidity droughts and motivates volume-based bars.
Flow toxicity and dealer risk : The same authors show how adverse selection risk changes with the intensity and informativeness of order flow, further supporting activity-based clocks for modeling and risk management.
AFML framework : In Advances in Financial Machine Learning , event-driven bars such as volume, dollar, and imbalance bars are presented as superior sampling units for many ML tasks, yielding more stationary features and fewer microstructure distortions than fixed time bars. ( Alpaca )
Practical use cases
1) Regime-aware moving averages
The synthetic SMA in event time is not fooled by quiet periods: if nothing of consequence trades, it barely updates. This can make trend filters less sensitive to calendar drift and more sensitive to true participation.
2) Breakout logic on “equal-information” samples
The script exposes simple alerts such as breakout above/below the synthetic SMA . Because each bar approximates a constant amount of activity, breakouts are conditioned on comparable informational mass, not arbitrary time buckets.
3) Volatility-adaptive backtests
If you use synthetic bars as your base data stream, most signal rules become self-paced : entry and exit opportunities accelerate in fast markets and slow down in quiet regimes, which often improves the realism of slippage and fill modeling in research pipelines (pair this indicator with strategy code downstream).
4) Regime diagnostics
Avg Bars per Sample trending down: activity is dense; expect larger realized ranges.
Return StdDev (synthetic) rising: noise or trend acceleration in event time; re-tune risk.
Interpreting the info panel
Method : your sampling choice and current threshold.
Total Samples : how many synthetic bars have been formed.
Current Vol/Dollar : how much of the next bucket is already filled.
Bars in Bucket : native bars consumed so far in the current bucket.
Avg Bars/Sample : lower means higher trading intensity.
Avg Return / Return StdDev : return stats computed over synthetic closes .
Research directions you can build from here
Imbalance and run bars
Extend beyond pure volume or dollar thresholds to imbalance bars that trigger on directional order flow imbalance (e.g., buy volume minus sell volume), as discussed in the AFML ecosystem. These often further homogenize distributional properties used in ML. alpaca.markets
Volume-time indicators
Re-compute classical indicators (RSI, MACD, Bollinger) on the synthetic stream. The premise is that signals are updated by traded information , not seconds, which may stabilize indicator behavior in heteroskedastic regimes.
Liquidity and toxicity overlays
Combine synthetic bars with proxies of flow toxicity to anticipate spread widening or volatility clustering. For instance, tag synthetic bars that surpass multiples of the threshold and test whether subsequent realized volatility is elevated.
Dollar-risk parity sampling for portfolios
Use dollar bars to align samples across assets by notional risk, enabling cleaner cross-asset features and comparability in multi-asset models (e.g., correlation studies, regime clustering). AFML discusses the benefits of event-driven sampling for cross-sectional ML feature engineering.
Microstructure feature set
Compute duration in native bars per synthetic sample , range per sample , and volume multiple of threshold as inputs to state classifiers or regime HMMs . These features are inherently activity-aware and often predictive of short-horizon volatility and trend persistence per the event-time literature. ( Alpaca )
Tips for clean usage
Start with dynamic thresholds using Median over a sensible lookback to avoid outlier distortion, then move to Fixed thresholds when you know your instrument’s typical activity scale.
Compare time bars vs synthetic bars side by side to develop intuition for how your market “breathes” in activity time.
Keep Max Stored Samples reasonable for performance; the ring buffer avoids memory creep while preserving a rolling window of research-grade data.
