PPAO - Propagator Price Action Oscillator
How PPAO works in one cycle (what it does every candle)
PPAO has 3 moving parts that run every bar:
1) It measures new candle pressure (the “push”)
This is the forcing term.
Return (ret): did price go up or down from last close?
Body: did the candle close above or below its open?
CLV: did the candle close near the high or near the low of its range?
With Option B, the “price action push” is directional:
Body is positive on bullish candles, negative on bearish candles.
CLV is:
near +1 if the candle closes near the high (buying strength),
near -1 if it closes near the low (selling strength).
So a candle that closes weak (near the low) pushes PPAO downward even if the candle range is large.
2) It decides how much to remember vs forget (the “friction”)
This is damping / decay.
High volatility (noisy market) → forget faster
Low volatility (cleaner market) → remember longer
So PPAO adapts: in chop it won’t hold bias for long; in smooth trends it will.
3) It updates a hidden “momentum engine” (state)
Internally it keeps two numbers (p and q) that store the market’s impulse with memory.
Every candle:
it shrinks the old state (decay),
rotates it a bit (momentum/volatility creates oscillation),
then adds the candle push (forcing).
Finally, it converts that hidden state into a 0–100 line:
> 50 means the state is aligned bullish,
< 50 means it’s aligned bearish.
The image below will give you an example of a deep analysis using the Propagator Price Action Oscillator (PPAO).
PPAO below 30
What that means mechanically
Below 30 = bearish impulse extreme.
It happens when the recent candles are consistently “bearish pressure” according to the forcing inputs:
returns are negative and/or
candles close weak inside their range (CLV negative) and/or
bodies are bearish (close < open)
Also, if volatility is elevated, damping can make this flip faster and stay extreme during a strong impulse.
What it means behaviorally
PPAO < 30 is not “prediction.” It is diagnosis:
“Recent candle pressure has been strongly bearish.”
This can show up in two common market contexts:
Continuation context
Price is breaking structure down, and candles keep closing weak → PPAO stays < 30.
Distribution / hidden weakness context (important)
Price may look stable or near a high, but candles are repeatedly closing poorly inside their ranges (negative CLV).
That makes PPAO drop under 30 even if price hasn’t collapsed yet.
That second case is exactly why Option B (Body + CLV) is useful: it can flag weak closes / selling absorption earlier than “price-only” oscillators.
PPAO above 70
What that means mechanically
Above 70 = bullish impulse extreme.
It occurs when the forcing inputs are strongly positive:
returns are positive and/or
candles close strong inside their range (CLV positive) and/or
bodies are bullish (close > open)
If volatility is not exploding, damping won’t erase the accumulated bullish state quickly, so PPAO can stay above 70 during sustained buying pressure.
What it means behaviorally
Again: not a prophecy, but an impulse read:
“Recent candle pressure has been strongly bullish.”
Two common contexts:
Trend continuation
Price is pushing higher and closes are strong → PPAO remains > 70.
Exhaustion risk
If price is hitting major resistance/liquidity and you start seeing weaker closes (CLV drops) while PPAO stops making new highs → that’s where reversals begin to appear.
The key takeaway using both images
PPAO extremes are best understood as:
Below 30: “Sellers are currently dominating candle pressure.”
Above 70: “Buyers are currently dominating candle pressure.”
Whether that dominance leads to continuation or reversal depends on what price does next (structure + where you are on the chart). PPAO is measuring pressure, not guaranteeing outcome.

USDJPY Timing Composite (5-Component)Overview
A sophisticated multi-component oscillator designed specifically for intraday USDJPY trading. This indicator combines five key market drivers to provide high-probability timing signals by isolating true USD strength and JPY weakness from noise.
Components & Methodology
The indicator uses z-score normalization (default 20-period lookback) to make five distinct market signals comparable and combines them into a single composite reading:
Primary USD Strength Signals (60%):
-EURUSD (30%) - Inverted EUR/USD measures USD strength against the Euro
USDCHF (30%) - USD strength against the Swiss Franc
Yield Differential (25%):
US02Y (25%) - 2-Year Treasury yield captures Fed policy expectations and carry trade dynamics
JPY Weakness Confirmation (15%):
CHFJPY (7.5%) - CHF/JPY cross isolates JPY-specific weakness
EURJPY (7.5%) - EUR/JPY cross provides additional JPY context
Key Features
✅ Multi-Source Validation - Separates real USD strength from currency-specific noise
✅ JPY Context Filter - Confirms whether moves are driven by USD strength, JPY weakness, or both
✅ Alignment Indicator - Visual dots show when 4+ components agree (high-confidence setups)
✅ Mean-Reversion Zones - Overbought/oversold thresholds at ±1.5 standard deviations
✅ Clean Visualization - Candle-based display (no wicks) for easy interpretation
How to Use
Basic Signals:
Green candles = Bullish USDJPY pressure (USD strengthening / JPY weakening)
Red candles = Bearish USDJPY pressure (USD weakening / JPY strengthening)
Above +1.5 = Overbought zone → look for mean-reversion shorts
Below -1.5 = Oversold zone → look for mean-reversion longs
High-Confidence Setups (Alignment Dots):
Lime dot at top = 4+ components bullish → strong long bias
Magenta dot at bottom = 4+ components bearish → strong short bias
No dots = Mixed signals → reduce position size or wait for clarity
Divergence Trading:
USDJPY makes new high but composite doesn't confirm → potential reversal down
USDJPY makes new low but composite doesn't confirm → potential reversal up
Best Practices
Timeframes: 5-minute to 15-minute charts for intraday trading
Session Focus: London and New York overlap (peak liquidity)
Pair With: Support/resistance levels, volume profile, or session highs/lows
Risk Management: Use alignment indicator to size positions (larger size when dots present)
Weight Adjustments:
Fed data days (CPI, NFP, FOMC): Increase US02Y weight to 30-35%
Pure FX sessions: Increase -EURUSD/USDCHF weights to 35% each
Risk-off events: Monitor CHFJPY/EURJPY for safe-haven JPY flows
Technical Details
Calculation Method: Z-score normalization with configurable lookback period
Default Weights: -EURUSD 30% | USDCHF 30% | US02Y 25% | CHFJPY 7.5% | EURJPY 7.5%
Extreme Threshold: ±1.5 standard deviations (adjustable)
Alignment Trigger: 4 out of 5 components in agreement
Customizable Parameters:
Z-score lookback period (default: 20)
Individual component weights
Extreme threshold levels
Alignment indicator on/off
Advantages Over Simple Indicators
Unlike single-pair or DXY-based indicators, this composite:
Filters false signals - USD strength confirmed by two independent FX pairs
Identifies source of moves - Separates USD dynamics from JPY-specific flows
Reduces noise - JPY crosses prevent misreading EUR/CHF weakness as USD strength
Adapts to regimes - Adjustable weights for different market conditions
Suggested Complementary Analysis
Price action at key technical levels
Session opening ranges
Economic calendar (especially Fed events)
Correlation with US equity markets during risk-off periods
Intermarket analysis with JGB yields for JPY policy context

Infinity Cycle-Timed Framework (XRP Specific)This indicator is a time-based decision-context framework designed specifically for XRP.
It evaluates directional alignment, cycle timing proximity, and volatility-based trade quality using a repeating time structure calibrated to XRP price history.
Rather than issuing buy or sell commands, the script combines multiple classification layers into a single table and chart overlay to help users determine whether current market conditions favor participation or standing aside.
What This Script Displays
1) Directional Confluence (Table + Markers)
A short-term directional filter evaluates alignment using a moving-average reference and smoothed momentum comparison.
The result is a simple directional state:
LONG
SHORT
STAND ASIDE
Optional small markers (“L” or “S”) may appear near candles when directional alignment is present.
These markers indicate directional agreement, not trade entry signals.
2) Cycle Timing Framework (Time-Based Component)
The script includes a repeating bar-count cycle structure with user-defined pivot points.
Cycle pivots are plotted as vertical dotted lines, with optional ± bar timing windows to visualize proximity.
Past, current, and optional forward cycles are drawn for structural time reference only.
This component is time-based and does not generate price levels or forecasts.
3) HIT Balloons (Timing + Momentum Alignment)
When enabled, the script monitors whether a short-term moving-average cross occurs within a defined bar tolerance of a cycle pivot.
If this alignment occurs, a HIT balloon is plotted at that pivot:
The balloon marks time + momentum alignment
It does not predict price direction or outcome
HIT markers persist for historical review
4) Reward-to-Risk Quality (Volatility Context)
A volatility component uses ATR-based ranges around a median reference to estimate whether sufficient price movement (“runway”) exists relative to recent volatility.
The output is expressed as a relative quality score, not a target or forecast.
Composite Setup Score
The table produces a Setup Score (0–100) derived from fixed component weights:
Directional Confluence (50%)
Cycle Timing Proximity (30%)
Reward-to-Risk Quality (20%)
The score represents overall alignment quality, not trade probability or performance expectation.
Bias Classification
Based on directional confluence, the script displays a clear bias state:
LONG
SHORT
STAND ASIDE
The bias reflects current condition alignment, not a trade instruction.
How to Use
Apply the indicator to a chart and allow sufficient historical bars for cycle context.
Use cycle pivots to understand where price is within a repeating time structure.
Use directional confluence and volatility context to assess whether conditions support participation.
The indicator is designed to be used standalone. No additional scripts are required.
Chart Setup Notes
This script plots price-aligned objects and should be merged with the chart’s price scale for correct vertical alignment.
The script relies on extended historical data to display past cycles. Symbols or data feeds with limited history may not show the full structure.
Interpretation Notes
Cycle pivots represent timing reference zones, not guaranteed reversals.
Directional markers indicate environmental alignment, not entry points.
Absence of directional markers may indicate weakening confluence or transition conditions.
This script is asset-specific and is intended for use on XRP charts.
While the general methodology is time-based, the cycle structure and pivot spacing are calibrated for XRP and may not be meaningful on other assets.
Important Disclaimers
This indicator does not predict price, guarantee outcomes, or provide financial advice.
All outputs are intended for context and classification, not automated decision-making.
Always apply independent analysis and risk management.
VIX Regime Filter This tool classifies volatility regimes using the spot VIX relative to its own history.
It is designed as a context and risk filter for trend-following systems — not as a timing or signal tool.
Use it to adjust exposure and expectations across volatility environments.
Infinity XAUUSD (Gold Spot) Cycle EngineThis indicator is a time-based cycle mapping tool designed for Gold (XAUUSD and related feeds).
It identifies repeating bar-count timing structures in historical price data rather than forecasting price targets.
The script combines cycle timing proximity, basic directional alignment, and volatility-based runway context into a single chart overlay and summary table. It is intended to provide structured context, not trade signals or predictions.
What This Script Displays
1) Cycle Map (42-Bar Structure)
The script applies a fixed 42-bar repeating cycle to Gold price history.
Each cycle is divided into 9 predefined timing points (P1–P9), drawn as vertical dotted lines on the chart.
Past and current cycles are displayed for historical reference, with optional forward time projection for structural context only.
Optional timing windows visualize bar-distance proximity to each cycle point.
This component is time-based only and does not generate price targets.
2) Directional Confluence (Table-Based)
A lightweight directional filter evaluates short-term alignment using a moving-average reference and smoothed momentum comparison.
The output is a simple directional state: Long, Short, or Stand Aside.
This module is designed as a directional filter, not a standalone signal generator.
3) Reward-to-Risk Context
A volatility component uses ATR-based ranges to estimate whether price has available movement relative to recent volatility.
The result is expressed as a relative quality score, not a price target or forecast.
4) Composite Setup Score
The table combines the three components into a single Setup Score (0–100) using fixed weights:
Directional Confluence (50%)
Cycle Map Proximity (30%)
Reward-to-Risk Context (20%)
The score functions as a contextual alignment measure, not a trading instruction.
5) Bias & Inversion Control
A single Inversion switch allows users to flip the displayed Long/Short bias in the table and optional markers.
This does not alter the underlying calculations or plotted cycle structure.
How to Use
Apply the indicator to a Gold symbol (XAUUSD or related feeds).
Use the cycle map to understand where price is within a repeating time structure, not where it “should go.”
Use the table to assess whether directional alignment and volatility conditions are supportive.
The indicator is designed to be used standalone. Other tools are not required for operation.
Chart Setup Notes
This script plots price-aligned objects and should be merged with the chart’s price scale for correct visual alignment.
The script uses extended historical data to draw past cycles. Symbols or data feeds with limited historical bars may not display the full cycle structure.
Symbol Scope
This script is asset-specific and calibrated for Gold.
A built-in symbol lock can restrict rendering to Gold symbols to prevent misapplication.
Important Notes
This indicator does not predict price or guarantee outcomes.
Cycle points represent timing reference zones, not reversal guarantees.
Always combine with independent analysis and risk management.

Multi Indicator Screener w/ Gates by DeepsageDeepsage Weighted Screener w/ Gates is a high-frequency, candle-by-candle market screening tool designed for precision entries on the 1-minute timeframe (Settings are adjustable to fit other timeframes).
The screener aggregates 31 weighted technical indicators across trend, momentum, volatility, trend strength, and volume to evaluate market conditions at every candle close and classify directional bias.
To improve signal quality, the system includes three independent gate indicators that act as a confirmation layer. These gates do not influence the score itself but instead approve or block trade entry signals, helping filter out low-quality conditions while still allowing exit signals to function normally.
All indicator parameters and gate conditions are fully adjustable, allowing the screener to be adapted to different instruments, volatility regimes, and execution styles.

Demand Index##Description:
This indicator is a precise Pine Script replica of the "Demand Index" (Study ID 139) as found in the Sierra Chart trading platform.
Originally developed by James Sibbet, the Demand Index combines price and volume data to measure buying and selling pressure. It is often considered a leading indicator, anticipating price trend changes by identifying divergences between the price action and the volume flow.
##Key Features & Formula Logic
This script strictly follows the official documentation provided by Sierra Chart to ensure the values match the original platform as closely as possible.
Specific calculation details included in this port:
- P(HL2C): Uses the weighted average (High + Low + 2*Close).
- Range Calculation: Uses a Moving Range based on Max(High, 2) - Min(Low, 2).
- The H0/L0 Factor: A unique characteristic of the Sierra Chart formula is the use of H0 and L0 (the High and Low of the first loaded bar in history) to scale the volatility exponent. This script replicates that behavior.
Note: Because H0 and L0 depend on the start of the loaded data, values may shift slightly if the amount of historical data on your chart changes. This is consistent with how the study behaves in Sierra Chart.
- Complex Weighting: Calculates "Buy Power" and "Sell Power" using the specific exponential decay formula outlined in SC ID 139.
##Settings (Inputs)
- Buy/Sell Power Length (nBS): Length for smoothing Volume and Range (Default: 19).
- Buy/Sell Power MA Length: Length for the smoothing of the calculated Buy/Sell Power (Default: 19).
- Demand Index MA Length: Length for the final Simple Moving Average (SMA) of the Demand Index (Default: 19).
- MA Type: Choose the smoothing algorithm for intermediate steps (EMA, SMA, WMA, RMA). Default is EMA.
##How to Trade / Interpret
- Divergence: The most powerful signal. If price makes a new High but the Demand Index fails to reach a new High, it suggests Buying Power is weakening (Bearish Divergence). Conversely for Bullish Divergence.
- Zero Line Cross: A cross above zero indicates Buy Power > Sell Power (Bullish). A cross below zero indicates Sell Power > Buy Power (Bearish).
Disclaimer: This script is for educational and analytical purposes only. It is a code conversion based on public documentation of Sierra Chart Study ID 139.
