Staggered Exponential PullbacksIndicator Description: Staggered Exponential Pullbacks (Final)
Core Concept
This indicator is designed to dynamically track and visualize price pullbacks from a recent high. It serves as an intelligent alert system and a tool for visualizing potential support levels that follow a predefined, non-linear logic.
Instead of a fixed percentage interval, the indicator calculates the levels based on a fixed, exponentially increasing sequence of percentages. The distance between the levels increases as the price falls further. This models a strategy where larger price movements are tolerated as a pullback deepens before the next signal level is reached. The basis for this calculation is always the highest close of the last x candles.
Key Features
This indicator goes far beyond a simple calculation, offering a range of intelligent features for professional use:
Cascading, Fixed Levels: The levels are based on a fixed sequence of percentage distances (3.0%, 3.6%, 4.3%, etc.), where each new level is calculated from the previous level.
Persistent Support Levels ("Floors"): Once an alert level is breached, it transforms into a fixed support line ("floor"). This line will never move down, even if the market high subsequently drops.
Automatic Upward Adjustment: Established floors are automatically pulled upwards when the market shows new strength and makes higher highs. A once-reached -3% floor will therefore rise with the market.
Intelligent, Self-Cleaning Reset Logic: The indicator recognizes when a pullback sequence has ended and a new one has begun. "Ghost lines" from old, irrelevant price movements are automatically removed from the chart to ensure maximum clarity.
Cascade-Proof Alerts: Even during extremely fast sell-offs that break through multiple levels in a single candle, the indicator correctly captures every single level breach.
Customizable Visualization: All key parameters, such as the lookback period and the colors of the lines, can be easily adjusted in the settings.
Visual Elements on the Chart
The Orange Line (Highest Close): This is the reference line. It always shows the highest closing price within the defined lookback period and has a step-line shape.
The 'Floor' Lines (Default: Yellow): These are solid lines that indicate which percentage levels have already been breached in the current sequence. They function as established support levels.
The 'Next Due' Line (Default: Purple): This is a step-line that displays the next expected alert level. It moves dynamically with the calculation. As soon as the price crosses this line, an alert is triggered, and it transforms into a yellow "Floor" line.
Settings (Inputs)
Number of Candles (Lookback): Defines how many past candles are used to determine the highest closing price.
Displayed Alert Levels (Max 10): Determines the maximum number of levels the indicator will calculate and display.
Color of Floors: Allows you to freely choose the color for the solid, established support lines.
Color of Next Due Line: Allows you to freely choose the color for the next, untriggered alert line.
Setting Up Alerts (Important!)
Since the indicator uses dynamic alert messages, the alert must be set up as follows:
Add the indicator to the chart.
Click the clock icon ("Alert") in the top toolbar.
In the "Condition" field, select the name of this indicator: Staggered Exponential Pullbacks.
In the second dropdown menu, you must select the option "Any alert() function call".
Message: The message box can be left empty. The indicator automatically generates a detailed message (e.g., "Price Alert: Level 2 (3.6%) reached!").
Click "Create".
You only need one single alert to cover all 10 levels.
Important Disclaimer: Not Financial Advice
This indicator is purely a technical analysis tool for visualizing price movements. The displayed lines and triggered alerts do not constitute buy or sell recommendations and are not a form of financial or investment advice. They serve for informational and analytical purposes only.

[Top] Simple ATR TP/SLSimple TP/SL from ATR (Locked per Bar) - Advanced Position Management Tool
What This Indicator Does:
Automatically calculates and displays Take Profit (TP) and Stop Loss (SL) levels based on Average True Range (ATR)
Locks ATR values and direction signals at the start of each bar to prevent repainting and provide consistent levels
Offers multiple direction detection modes including real-time candle-based positioning for dynamic trading approaches
Displays entry, TP, and SL levels as clean horizontal lines that extend from the current bar
Original Features That Make This Script Unique:
Bar-Locked ATR System: ATR values are captured and frozen at bar open, ensuring levels remain stable throughout the bar's progression
Multi-Modal Direction Detection: Four distinct modes for determining TP/SL positioning - Trend Following (EMA-based), Bullish Only, Bearish Only, and real-time Candle Based
Real-Time Candle Flipping: In Candle Based mode, TP/SL levels flip immediately when the current candle changes from bullish to bearish or vice versa
Persistent Line Management: Uses efficient line object management to prevent ghost lines and maintain clean visual presentation
Flexible Base Price Selection: Choose between Open (static), Close (dynamic), or midpoint (H+L)/2 for entry level calculation
How The Algorithm Works:
ATR Calculation: Captures ATR value at each bar open using specified length parameter, maintaining consistency throughout the bar
Direction Determination: Uses different methods based on selected mode - EMA crossover for trend following, or real-time candle color for dynamic positioning
Level Calculation: TP level = Base Price + (Direction × TP Multiplier × ATR), SL level = Base Price - (Direction × SL Multiplier × ATR)
Visual Management: Creates persistent line objects once, then updates their positions every bar for optimal performance
Direction Modes Explained:
Trend Following: Uses 5-period and 12-period EMA relationship to determine trend direction (locked at bar open)
Bullish Only: Always places TP above and SL below entry (traditional long setup)
Bearish Only: Always places TP below and SL above entry (traditional short setup)
Candle Based: Dynamically adjusts based on current candle direction - flips in real-time as candle develops
Key Input Parameters:
ATR Length: Period for ATR calculation (default 14) - longer periods provide smoother volatility measurement
TP Multiplier: Take profit distance as multiple of ATR (default 1.0) - higher values target larger profits
SL Multiplier: Stop loss distance as multiple of ATR (default 1.0) - higher values allow more room for price movement
Base Price: Reference point for level calculations - Open for static entry, Close for dynamic tracking
Direction Mode: Method for determining whether TP goes above or below entry level
How To Use This Indicator:
For Position Sizing: Use the displayed SL distance to calculate appropriate position size based on your risk tolerance
For Entry Timing: Wait for price to approach the entry level before taking positions
For Risk Management: Set your actual stop loss orders at or near the displayed SL level
For Profit Taking: Use the TP level as initial profit target, consider scaling out at this level
Mode Selection: Choose Candle Based for scalping and quick reversals, Trend Following for swing trading
Visual Style Customization:
Line Colors: Customize TP line color (default teal) and SL line color (default orange) for easy identification
Line Widths: Adjust TP/SL line thickness (1-5) and entry line thickness (1-3) for visibility preferences
Clean Display: Lines extend 3 bars forward from current bar and update position dynamically
Best Practices:
Use on clean charts without multiple overlapping indicators for clearest visual interpretation
Combine with volume analysis and key support/resistance levels for enhanced decision making
Adjust ATR length based on your trading timeframe - shorter for scalping, longer for position trading
Test different TP/SL multipliers based on the volatility characteristics of your chosen instruments
Consider using Trend Following mode during strong trending periods and Candle Based during ranging markets
ARMA(Autoregressive Moving Average) Model -DeepALGO-📊 ARMA Model Indicator
This script is a custom indicator based on the ARMA (Autoregressive Moving Average) model, one of the fundamental and widely used models in time series analysis.
While ARMA is typically employed in statistical software, this implementation makes it accessible directly on TradingView, allowing traders to visualize and apply the dynamics of ARMA in financial markets with ease.
🧩 What is the ARMA Model?
The ARMA model explains time series data by combining two components: Autoregression (AR) and Moving Average (MA).
AR (Autoregression) component
Captures the dependence of current values on past values, modeling the inherent autocorrelation of the series.
MA (Moving Average) component
Incorporates past forecast errors (residuals), smoothing out randomness and noise while improving predictive capability.
By combining these two aspects, ARMA models can capture both the underlying structure of the data and the random fluctuations, providing a more robust description of price behavior than simple averages alone.
⚙️ Design of This Script
In classical statistics, ARMA coefficients are estimated using the ACF (Autocorrelation Function) and PACF (Partial Autocorrelation Function). However, this process is often too complex for trading environments.
This script simplifies the approach:
The coefficients theta (θ) and epsilon (ε) are fixed, automatically derived from the chosen AR and MA periods.
This eliminates the need for statistical estimation, making the indicator easy to apply with simple parameter adjustments.
The goal is not academic rigor, but practical usability for traders.
🔧 Configurable Parameters
AR Period (p): Order of the autoregressive part.
MA Period (q): Order of the moving average part. Shorter periods yield faster responsiveness, while longer periods produce smoother outputs.
Offset: Shifts the line forward or backward for easier comparison.
Smoothing Period: Additional smoothing to reduce noise.
Source: Choose from Close, HL2, HLC3, High, or Low.
🎯 Advantages Compared to Traditional Moving Averages
Commonly used moving averages such as SMA (Simple Moving Average) and EMA (Exponential Moving Average) are intuitive but have limitations:
SMA applies equal weights to past data, which makes it slow to respond to new price changes.
EMA emphasizes recent data, providing faster response but often introducing more noise and reducing smoothness.
The ARMA-based approach provides two key advantages:
Balance of Responsiveness and Smoothness
AR terms capture autocorrelation while MA terms correct residuals, resulting in a smoother line that still reacts more quickly than SMA or EMA.
Flexible Adaptation
By adjusting the MA period (q), traders can fine-tune how closely the model follows price fluctuations—ranging from rapid short-term responses to stable long-term trend recognition.
📈 Practical Use Cases
The ARMA indicator can be applied in several practical ways:
Trend Direction Estimation
The slope and position of the ARMA line can provide a straightforward read of bullish or bearish market conditions.
Trend Reversal Identification
Changes in the ARMA line’s direction may signal early signs of a reversal, often with faster reaction compared to traditional moving averages.
Confirmation with Other Indicators
Combine ARMA with oscillators such as RSI or MACD to improve the reliability of signals.
Combination with Heikin-Ashi
Heikin-Ashi candles smooth out price action and highlight trend changes. When used together with ARMA, they can significantly enhance reversal detection. For example, if Heikin-Ashi indicates a potential reversal and the ARMA line simultaneously changes direction, the confluence provides a stronger and more reliable trading signal.
⚠️ Important Notes
Risk of Overfitting
Excessive optimization of AR or MA periods may lead to overfitting, where the indicator fits historical data well but fails to generalize to future market conditions. Keep parameter choices simple and consistent.
Weakness in Sideways Markets
ARMA works best in trending environments. In range-bound conditions, signals may become noisy or less reliable. Consider combining it with range-detection tools or volume analysis.
Not a Standalone System
This indicator should not be used in isolation for trading decisions. It is best employed as part of a broader analysis framework, combining multiple indicators and fundamental insights.
💡 Summary
This script brings the theoretical foundation of ARMA into a practical, chart-based tool for traders.
It is particularly valuable for those who find SMA too lagging or EMA too noisy, offering a more nuanced balance between responsiveness and smoothness.
By capturing both autocorrelation and residual structure, ARMA provides a deeper view of market dynamics.
Combined with tools such as Heikin-Ashi or oscillators, it can significantly enhance trend reversal detection and strategy reliability.
Global Sessions with Trend & Liquidity Features:
-Session ranges with customizable lines & colors
-Opening range markers and optional background shading
-Automatic trend detection per session (Bullish / Bearish / Neutral)
-Indicators when highs/lows are broken
-Clean visual design with toggles for minimal or detailed display
This Pine Script code is designed to help traders visualize and analyze different market sessions. It's a tool that displays the trading hours for the Asian, London, and New York sessions right on the chart.
The main purpose is to show when these key markets are open and to highlight their price ranges. It also includes features to track the trend within each session and to identify "liquidity sweeps" or moments when the price breaks the high or low of a previous session.
In simple terms, it helps a trader see what the market is doing and where the price is likely to go, all based on the major global trading times. It's especially useful for day traders who want to align their strategies with the activity of specific markets.
P.S. Apologies to users not in the EST timezone! This version is hardcoded to Eastern Standard Time, and I'm not currently sure how to automatically adjust it for different timezones. But you can adjust manually and click the dropdown menu to Save As Default.
Candle ShapeCandle Shape
This indicator visualizes rolling candles that aggregate price action over a chosen lookback period, allowing you to see how OHLC dynamics evolve in real time.
Instead of waiting for a higher timeframe (HTF) bar to close, you can track its development directly from a lower timeframe chart.
For example, view how a 1-hour candle is forming on a 1-minute chart — complete with rolling open, high, low, and close levels, as well as colored body and wick areas.
---
🔹 How it works
- Lookback Period (n) → sets the bucket size, defining how many bars are merged into a “meta-candle.”
- The script continuously updates the meta-open, meta-high, meta-low, and meta-close.
- Body and wick areas are filled with color , making bullish/bearish transitions easy to follow.
---
🔹 Use cases
- Monitor the intra-development of higher timeframe candles.
- Analyze rolling OHLC structures to understand how price dynamics shift across different aggregation windows.
- Explore unique perspectives for strategy confirmation, breakout anticipation, and market structure analysis.

VWAP Price ChannelVWAP Price Channel cuts the crust off of a traditional price channel (Donchian Channel) by anchoring VWAPs at the highs and lows. By doing this, the flat levels, characteristic of traditional Donchian Channels, are no more!
Author's Note: This indicator is formed with no inherent use, and serves solely as a thought experiment.
> Concept
I would be hesitant to call this a "predictive" indicator, however the behavior of it would suggest it could be considered at least partially predictive
Essentially, the Anchored VWAPs creates something from otherwise nothing.
While the DC upper or lower values are staying flat, the VWAPs improvise based on price and volume to project a level that may be a better representation of where future highs or lows may settle.
Visually, this looks like we have cut off the corners of the Donchian Channel.
Note: Notice how we are calculating values before the corners are realized.
> Implementation
While this is only a concept indicator, The specific application I've gone with for this, is a sort of supertrend-ish display (A Trend Flipping Trailing Stop Loss).
The script uses basic logic to create a trend direction, and then displays the Anchored VWAPs as a form of trailing stop loss.
While "In Trend", the script fills in the area between the VWAP and Price in the direction of trend.
When new highs or lows are made while in trend, the opposite VWAP will start to generate at the new highs or lows. These happen on every new high or low, so they are not indicating the trend shift, but could be interpreted as breakout levels for the current trend direction in order for continuation.
Note: All values are drawn live, but when using higher timeframes, there is a natural calculation discrepancy when using live data vs. historical.
> Technicals
In this script, I'm simply detecting new highs or lows from the DC and using those as the anchor frequency on the built-in VWAP function.
So each time a new high or low is made based on DC, the VWAP function re-anchors to the high or low of the candle.
Past that, I have implemented some logic in order to account for a common occurrence I faced during development.
Frequently, the price would outpace the anchored VWAP, so we would end up with the VWAP being further from price than the actual DC upper or lower.
Due to this, what I have ended up with was a third value which, rather than switching between raw VWAP values and DC values, it adjusts the value based on the change in the VWAP value.
This can be simply thought of as a "Start + Change" type of setup.
By doing this, I can use the change values from the actual anchored VWAP, and under normal conditions, this will also be the true VWAP value.
However, situationally, I am able to update the start value which we're applying the VWAP change to.
In other words, when these situations happen, the VWAP change is added to the new (closer to price) DC value.
The specific trend logic being used is nothing fancy at all, we are simply checking if a new high or low is created and setting the trend in that direction.
This is in line with some traditional DC Strategies.
To those who made it here,
Just remember:
The chart may be ugly, but it's the fastest analysis of the data you can get.
Nicer displays often come at the hidden cost of latency.
You have to shoot your shot to make it.

Market Cap Landscape 3DHello, traders and creators! 👋
Market Cap Landscape 3D. This project is more than just a typical technical analysis tool; it's an exploration into what's possible when code meets artistry on the financial charts. It's a demonstration of how we can transcend flat, two-dimensional lines and step into a vibrant, three-dimensional world of data.
This project continues a journey that began with a previous 3D experiment, the T-Virus Sentiment, which you can explore here:
The Market Cap Landscape 3D builds on that foundation, visualizing market data—particularly crypto market caps—as a dynamic 3D mountain range. The entire landscape is procedurally generated and rendered in real-time using the powerful drawing capabilities of polyline.new() and line.new() , pushed to their creative limits.
This work is intended as a guide and a design example for all developers, born from the spirit of learning and a deep love for understanding the Pine Script™ language.
---
🧐 Core Concept: How It Works
The indicator synthesizes multiple layers of information into a single, cohesive 3D scene:
The Surface: The mountain range itself is a procedurally generated 3D mesh. Its peaks and valleys create a rich, textured landscape that serves as the canvas for our data.
Crypto Data Integration: The core feature is its ability to fetch market cap data for a list of cryptocurrencies you provide. It then sorts them in descending order and strategically places them onto the 3D surface.
The Summit: The highest point on the mountain is reserved for the asset with the #1 market cap in your list, visually represented by a flag and a custom emblem.
The Mountain Labels: The other assets are distributed across the mountainside, with their rank determining their general elevation. This creates an intuitive visual hierarchy.
The Leaderboard Pole: For clarity, a dedicated pole in the back-right corner provides a clean, ranked list of the symbols and their market caps, ensuring the data is always easy to read.

👨💻 Developer's Corner: Modifying the Core Logic
If you're a developer and wish to customize the indicator's core data source, this section is for you. The script is designed to be modular, making it easy to change what data is being ranked and visualized.
The heart of the data retrieval and ranking logic is within the f_getSortedCryptoData() function. Here’s how you can modify it:
1. Changing the Data Source (from Market Cap to something else):
The current logic uses request.security("CRYPTOCAP:" + syms.get(i), ...) to fetch market capitalization data. To change this, you need to modify this line.
Example: Ranking by RSI (14) on the Daily timeframe.
First, you'll need a function to calculate RSI. Add this function to the script:
f_getRSI(symbol, timeframe, length) =>
request.security(symbol, timeframe, ta.rsi(close, length))
Then, inside f_getSortedCryptoData() , find the `for` loop that populates the `caps` array and replace the `request.security` call:
// OLD LINE:
// caps.set(i, request.security("CRYPTOCAP:" + syms.get(i), timeframe.period, close))
// NEW LINE for RSI:
// Note: You'll need to decide how to format the symbol name (e.g., "BINANCE:" + syms.get(i) + "USDT")
caps.set(i, f_getRSI("BINANCE:" + syms.get(i) + "USDT", "D", 14))
2. Changing the Data Formatting:
The ranking values are formatted for display using the f_fmtCap() function, which currently formats large numbers into "M" (millions), "B" (billions), etc.
If you change the data source to something like RSI, you'll want to change the formatting. You can modify f_fmtCap() or create a new formatting function.
Example: Formatting for RSI.
// Modify f_fmtCap or create f_fmtRSI
f_fmtRSI(float v) =>
str.tostring(v, "#.##") // Simply format to two decimal places
Remember to update the calls to this function in the main drawing loop where the labels are created (e.g., str.format("{0}: {1}", crypto.symbol, f_fmtCap(crypto.cap)) ).
By modifying these key functions ( f_getSortedCryptoData and f_fmtCap ), you can adapt the Market Cap Landscape 3D to visualize and rank almost any dataset you can imagine, from technical indicators to fundamental data.

We hope you enjoy using the Market Cap Landscape 3D as much as we enjoyed creating it. Happy charting! ✨
Index Position Size Calculator for [US30 / US100 / SP500]What it does
This tool helps you size positions consistently for index trades on US30 (Dow Jones), NAS100 (Nasdaq-100), and SP500 (S&P 500). Enter your account balance, risk %, and your planned Entry / Stop-Loss / Target and the script calculates:
• Position Size (rounded to your lot/contract step)
• Risk-to-Reward (R/R)
• Potential P/L in USD based on your inputs
• Visual Entry / SL / TP lines with green/red zones and concise labels
Supported contract styles
Choose a preset for common products (e.g., CFD $1/pt, YM/NQ/ES futures, MYM/MNQ/MES micros) or override the economics yourself. You remain in control of the two key levers:
• $/point — how many dollars you gain/lose per 1 index point per contract/lot
• Point size — how many price units equal 1 index point on your chart (often 1.0, but some brokers use 0.1 or 0.5)
Inputs
• Account Balance ($) and Risk % per trade
• Index: US30 / NAS100 / SP500
• Contract: CFD / Futures (YM, NQ, ES) / Micros (MYM, MNQ, MES)
• $/point: auto from Contract or manual override
• Point size: auto from Index or manual override
• Position size step: rounding (e.g., 1 for futures, 0.01 for CFDs)
• Entry / SL / TP: typed values (snapped to tick), with on-chart zones and labels
• Display toggles for lines and labels
How the math works
• StopPoints = |Entry − SL| ÷ PointSize
• ProfitPoints = |TP − Entry| ÷ PointSize
• Position Size = (AccountBalance × Risk%) ÷ (StopPoints × $/point)
• R/R = ProfitPoints ÷ StopPoints
• Potential P/L = PositionSize × Points × $/point
How to use (quick start)
1. Select Index and Contract.
2. Confirm $/point and Point size match your broker’s specs.
3. Enter Entry / SL / TP for the trade idea.
4. Read the Position Size, R/R, and Potential P/L in the info box.
5. Adjust for fees, spreads, and slippage as needed.
Notes & limitations
• Broker symbols can vary. Always verify $/point and Point size for your instrument before risking capital.
• The script does not place orders and does not generate trade signals; it’s a sizing/visualization tool.
• Results can differ across brokers due to pricing, spreads, minimum lot sizes, and execution rules.
• Use on the intended indices; you’ll see a reminder if you load it elsewhere.
Changelog highlights
• Pine v6, constant-safe inputs, tick-snapping, global fills (no local-scope errors).
• Robust label handling and optional minimal chart markers.

Adaptive Rolling Quantile Bands [CHE] Adaptive Rolling Quantile Bands
Part 1 — Mathematics and Algorithmic Design
Purpose. The indicator estimates distribution‐aware price levels from a rolling window and turns them into dynamic “buy” and “sell” bands. It can work on raw price or on *residuals* around a baseline to better isolate deviations from trend. Optionally, the percentile parameter $q$ adapts to volatility via ATR so the bands widen in turbulent regimes and tighten in calm ones. A compact, latched state machine converts these statistical levels into high-quality discretionary signals.
Data pipeline.
1. Choose a source (default `close`; MTF optional via `request.security`).
2. Optionally compute a baseline (`SMA` or `EMA`) of length $L$.
3. Build the *working series*: raw price if residual mode is off; otherwise price minus baseline (if a baseline exists).
4. Maintain a FIFO buffer of the last $N$ values (window length). All quantiles are computed on this buffer.
5. Map the resulting levels back to price space if residual mode is on (i.e., add back the baseline).
6. Smooth levels with a short EMA for readability.
Rolling quantiles.
Given the buffer $X_{t-N+1..t}$ and a percentile $q\in $, the indicator sorts a copy of the buffer ascending and linearly interpolates between adjacent ranks to estimate:
* Buy band $\approx Q(q)$
* Sell band $\approx Q(1-q)$
* Median $Q(0.5)$, plus optional deciles $Q(0.10)$ and $Q(0.90)$
Quantiles are robust to outliers relative to means. The estimator uses only data up to the current bar’s value in the buffer; there is no look-ahead.
Residual transform (optional).
In residual mode, quantiles are computed on $X^{res}_t = \text{price}_t - \text{baseline}_t$. This centers the distribution and often yields more stationary tails. After computing $Q(\cdot)$ on residuals, levels are transformed back to price space by adding the baseline. If `Baseline = None`, residual mode simply falls back to raw price.
Volatility-adaptive percentile.
Let $\text{ATR}_{14}(t)$ be current ATR and $\overline{\text{ATR}}_{100}(t)$ its long SMA. Define a volatility ratio $r = \text{ATR}_{14}/\overline{\text{ATR}}_{100}$. The effective quantile is:
Smoothing.
Each level is optionally smoothed by an EMA of length $k$ for cleaner visuals. This smoothing does not change the underlying quantile logic; it only stabilizes plots and signals.
Latched state machines.
Two three-step processes convert levels into “latched” signals that only fire after confirmation and then reset:
* BUY latch:
(1) HLC3 crosses above the median →
(2) the median is rising →
(3) HLC3 prints above the upper (orange) band → BUY latched.
* SELL latch:
(1) HLC3 crosses below the median →
(2) the median is falling →
(3) HLC3 prints below the lower (teal) band → SELL latched.
Labels are drawn on the latch bar, with a FIFO cap to limit clutter. Alerts are available for both the simple band interactions and the latched events. Use “Once per bar close” to avoid intrabar churn.
MTF behavior and repainting.
MTF sourcing uses `lookahead_off`. Quantiles and baselines are computed from completed data only; however, any *intrabar* cross conditions naturally stabilize at close. As with all real-time indicators, values can update during a live bar; prefer bar-close alerts for reliability.
Complexity and parameters.
Each bar sorts a copy of the $N$-length window (practical $N$ values keep this inexpensive). Typical choices: $N=50$–$100$, $q_0=0.15$–$0.25$, $k=2$–$5$, baseline length $L=20$ (if used), adaptation strength $s=0.2$–$0.7$.
Part 2 — Practical Use for Discretionary/Active Traders
What the bands mean in practice.
The teal “buy” band marks the lower tail of the recent distribution; the orange “sell” band marks the upper tail. The median is your dynamic equilibrium. In residual mode, these tails are deviations around trend; in raw mode they are absolute price percentiles. When ATR adaptation is on, tails breathe with regime shifts.
Two core playbooks.
1. Mean-reversion around a stable median.
* Context: The median is flat or gently sloped; band width is relatively tight; instrument is ranging.
* Entry (long): Look for price to probe or close below the buy band and then reclaim it, especially after HLC3 recrosses the median and the median turns up.
* Stops: Place beyond the most recent swing low or $1.0–1.5\times$ ATR(14) below entry.
* Targets: First scale at the median; optional second scale near the opposite band. Trail with the median or an ATR stop.
* Symmetry: Mirror the rules for shorts near the sell band when the median is flat to down.
2. Continuation with latched confirmations.
* Context: A developing trend where you want fewer but cleaner signals.
* Entry (long): Take the latched BUY (3-step confirmation) on close, or on the next bar if you require bar-close validation.
* Invalidation: A close back below the median (or below the lower band in strong trends) negates momentum.
* Exits: Trail under the median for conservative exits or under the teal band for trend-following exits. Consider scaling at structure (prior swing highs) or at a fixed $R$ multiple.
Parameter guidance by timeframe.
* Scalping / LTF (1–5m): $N=30$–$60$, $q_0=0.20$, $k=2$–3, residual mode on, baseline EMA $L=20$, adaptation $s=0.5$–0.7 to handle micro-vol spikes. Expect more signals; rely on latched logic to filter noise.
* Intraday swing (15–60m): $N=60$–$100$, $q_0=0.15$–0.20, $k=3$–4. Residual mode helps but is optional if the instrument trends cleanly. $s=0.3$–0.6.
* Swing / HTF (4H–D): $N=80$–$150$, $q_0=0.10$–0.18, $k=3$–5. Consider `SMA` baseline for smoother residuals and moderate adaptation $s=0.2$–0.4.
Baseline choice.
Use EMA for responsiveness (fast trend shifts) and SMA for stability (smoother residuals). Turning residual mode on is advantageous when price exhibits persistent drift; turning it off is useful when you explicitly want absolute bands.
How to time entries.
Prefer bar-close validation for both band recaptures and latched signals. If you must act intrabar, accept that crosses can “un-cross” before close; compensate with tighter stops or reduced size.
Risk management.
Position size to a fixed fractional risk per trade (e.g., 0.5–1.0% of equity). Define invalidation using structure (swing points) plus ATR. Avoid chasing when distance to the opposite band is small; reward-to-risk degrades rapidly once you are deep inside the distribution.
Combos and filters.
* Pair with a higher-timeframe median slope as a regime filter (trade only in the direction of the HTF median).
* Use band width relative to ATR as a range/trend gauge: unusually narrow bands suggest compression (mean-reversion bias); expanding bands suggest breakout potential (favor latched continuation).
* Volume or session filters (e.g., avoid illiquid hours) can materially improve execution.
Alerts for discretion.
Enable “Cross above Buy Level” / “Cross below Sell Level” for early notices and “Latched BUY/SELL” for conviction entries. Set alerts to “Once per bar close” to avoid noise.
Common pitfalls.
Do not interpret band touches as automatic signals; context matters. A strong trend will often ride the far band (“band walking”) and punish counter-trend fades—use the median slope and latched logic to separate trend from range. Do not oversmooth levels; you will lag breaks. Do not set $q$ too small or too large; extremes reduce statistical meaning and practical distance for stops.
A concise checklist.
1. Is the median flat (range) or sloped (trend)?
2. Is band width expanding or contracting vs ATR?
3. Are we near the tail level aligned with the intended trade?
4. For continuation: did the 3 steps for a latched signal complete?
5. Do stops and targets produce acceptable $R$ (≥1.5–2.0)?
6. Are you trading during liquid hours for the instrument?
Summary. ARQB provides statistically grounded, regime-aware bands and a disciplined, latched confirmation engine. Use the bands as objective context, the median as your equilibrium line, ATR adaptation to stay calibrated across regimes, and the latched logic to time higher-quality discretionary entries.

Anchored Grids ft. VolumeINTRO
The 'Volume Profile' is a great tool, isn’t it? It shows us where volume has accumulated on the chart and helps guide trading decisions. The only catch is that we can’t really choose the levels—it’s all based on where volume happens to cluster. But what if we reversed the logic and measured the volume at the levels we define? That’s exactly what this script does, giving you a fresh way to spot support and resistance :)
OVERVIEW
'Anchored Grids ft. Volume' is a sophisticated technical analysis tool that combines price grid analysis with volume accumulation metrics. This indicator dynamically calculates and displays custom support and resistance levels based on a user-defined timeframe, while simultaneously tracking and visualizing volume accumulation at each specific price level. Unlike traditional volume profile indicators that use complex statistical clustering, this tool provides straightforward volume measurement at predetermined technical levels. It answers a critical question: "How much trading activity occurred near the key price levels I care about?".
HOW DOES THIS INDICATOR WORK?
This indicator builds a customizable grid system anchored to the opening price of any user-selected timeframe (hourly, daily, weekly, etc.). From that anchor point, it continuously tracks the highest high and lowest low, then calculates equidistant grid levels within that range. Two calculation modes are available—Arithmetic and Geometric—allowing flexibility in how the levels are distributed.
Once the grid is established, a volume accumulation engine comes into play. For each price bar, the script checks whether the bar’s range intersects with any level’s tolerance zone (default 0.01%). If a touch is detected, that bar’s volume is added to the corresponding level. Over time, this process builds a clear picture of where significant trading activity has clustered.
The visualization system highlights these dynamics by applying a color gradient based on volume intensity and adjusting line thickness proportional to accumulated volume. Each level is also labeled with four key data points:
The grid number (in square brackets)
The price of the level
The percentage distance between the level and the opening price of the selected timeframe
The total volume accumulated within the level’s tolerance range
PARAMETERS
Timeframe: Defines the anchor period for grid calculation. Then, the indicator automatically determines the open, high, and low prices.
Mode: This option determines how the distance between levels is calculated: Arithmetic (linear) means equal price spacing between levels, while Geometric (logarithmic) means equal percentage spacing between levels.
Grids: It's the number of levels between high and low.
Color: Base color for grid lines and labels. When volume data is displayed, lower values are darkened by 50%.
Show Volume Accumulation: When this parameter is activated, the volume calculation is enabled.
Tolerance : The Tolerance parameter (default range: 0.01%) defines the price range around each grid level where volume accumulation is registered. It acts as a sensitivity control that determines how close price must be to a level to count trading volume toward that level's accumulation.
ORIGINALITY
It’s possible to find comprehensive grid-drawing tools among community indicators, but I haven’t come across an example that combines this concept with volume data. More importantly, I wanted to demonstrate how volume accumulation can be generated for any data modeled as an array on the chart by developers.
SUMMARY
In conclusion, the selected timeframe and the number of grids are only used as a reference to determine where the levels are drawn. The true value of this indicator lies in its ability to calculate volume accumulation directly from the chart’s own candles, showing how much trading activity occurred around each level. The result is a hybrid framework that merges structural price analysis with volume distribution, offering traders deeper insights into where markets are likely to react.
NOTE
While powerful, this tool should be used as part of a comprehensive trading strategy rather than as a standalone system. Always combine with risk management principles and market context awareness. I hope it helps everyone. Trade as safely as possible. Best of luck!

Trend detection for stocksThis Pine Script indicator combines exponential moving averages (EMA) with the Average Directional Index (ADX) to identify clear upward and downward trends. The chart colors the background according to the trend and optionally displays buy and sell signals as well as alerts.
Functionality in detail:
The Fast EMA (Standard 21) reacts quickly to price changes.
The Slow EMA (Standard 55) smooths the trend more.
If the Fast EMA is above the Slow EMA and the ADX is above the defined threshold, the background turns green – indicating a clear upward trend.
Conversely, a red background signals a dominant downward trend.
Buy and sell arrows appear at the EMA crossover as soon as the ADX confirms that a trend is intact.
Smart Money Trades Pro [BOSWaves]Smart Money Trades Pro – Advanced Market Structure & Liquidity Visualizer
Overview
Smart Money Trades Pro is a comprehensive trading tool designed for traders seeking an in-depth understanding of market structure, liquidity dynamics, and institutional flow. The indicator systematically identifies key market turning points, including break of structure (BOS) and change of character (CHoCH) events, and overlays these with adaptive visualizations to highlight high-probability trade setups. By integrating ATR-based risk zones, progressive take-profit levels, and real-time trade analytics, Smart Money Trades Pro transforms complex price action into an interpretable framework suitable for multiple trading styles, including scalping, intraday, and swing trading.
Unlike traditional static indicators, Smart Money Trades Pro adapts continuously to market conditions. It evaluates swing highs and lows over a configurable lookback period, then determines structural breaks using customizable confirmation methods (candle body or wick). The resulting signals are augmented with dynamic entry, stop-loss, and target levels, allowing traders to analyze potential trade opportunities with both precision and context. The indicator’s design ensures that each visual element—trend-colored candles, signal markers, and risk/reward boxes—reflects real-time market conditions, offering an actionable interpretation of institutional activity.
How It Works
The indicator’s foundation is built upon market structure analysis. By calculating pivot highs and lows over a specified period, Smart Money Trades Pro identifies potential points of liquidity accumulation and exhaustion. When price breaks a pivot high or low, the indicator evaluates whether this constitutes a BOS or a CHoCH, signaling trend continuation or reversal. These events are marked on the chart with distinct visual cues, allowing traders to quickly discern shifts in market sentiment without manually analyzing historical price action.
Once a structural break is confirmed, the indicator automatically determines entry levels, stop-loss placements, and progressive take-profit zones (TP1, TP2, TP3). These calculations are based on ATR-derived volatility, ensuring that targets scale with current market conditions. Risk and reward zones are plotted as shaded boxes, providing a clear visual representation of potential profit relative to risk for each trade setup. This system allows traders to maintain discipline and consistency, with dynamic trade management baked directly into the visualization.
Trend direction is further reinforced by color-coded candles, which reflect the prevailing market bias. Bullish trends are represented by one color, bearish trends by another, and neutral conditions are displayed in muted tones. This continuous visual feedback simplifies the process of trend assessment and helps confirm the validity of trade setups alongside BOS and CHoCH markers.
Signals and Breakouts
Smart Money Trades Pro includes structured visual signals to indicate actionable price movements:
Bullish Break Signals – Triangular markers below the candle appear when a swing high is broken, suggesting potential long opportunities.
Bearish Break Signals – Triangular markers above the candle appear when a swing low is broken, indicating potential short setups.
Change of Character (CHoCH) – Special markers highlight trend reversals, showing where momentum shifts from bullish to bearish or vice versa.
These markers are strategically spaced to prevent overlap and remain clear during high-volatility periods. Traders can use them in combination with trend-colored candles, risk/reward zones, and ATR-based targets to assess the strength and reliability of each setup. The integrated table provides live trade information, including entry price, stop-loss level, take-profit levels, risk/reward ratio, and trade direction, ensuring that trade decisions are informed and data-driven.
Interpretation
Trend Analysis : The indicator’s trend coloring, combined with BOS and CHoCH detection, provides an immediate view of market direction. Rising structures indicate bullish momentum, while falling structures signal bearish momentum. CHoCH markers highlight potential trend reversals or significant liquidity sweeps.
Volatility and Risk Assessment : ATR-based calculations determine stop-loss distances and target levels, giving a quantitative measure of risk relative to market volatility. Wide ATR readings indicate periods of high price fluctuation, whereas narrow readings suggest consolidation and reduced risk exposure.
Market Structure Insights : By monitoring swing highs and lows alongside break confirmations, traders can identify where institutional players are likely active. Areas with multiple structural breaks or overlapping targets can indicate liquidity hotspots, potential reversal zones, or areas of market congestion.
Trade Management : The built-in trade zones allow traders to visualize entry, risk, and reward simultaneously. Progressive targets (TP1, TP2, TP3) reflect incremental profit-taking strategies, while dynamic stop-loss levels help preserve capital during adverse moves.
Strategy Integration
Smart Money Trades Pro supports a range of trading approaches:
Trend Following : Enter trades in the direction of confirmed BOS while using CHoCH markers and trend-colored candles to validate momentum.
Pullback Entries : Use failed breakout retests or minor reversals toward broken structure levels for lower-risk entries.
Mean Reversion : In consolidated zones with narrow ATR and repeated BOS/CHoCH activity, anticipate reversals or short-term corrective moves.
Multi-Timeframe Confirmation : Overlay signals on higher or lower timeframes to filter noise and improve trade accuracy.
Stop-loss levels should be placed just beyond the opposing structural point, while take-profit targets can be scaled using the ATR-based zones. Progressive targets allow for partial exits or scaling out of trades while maintaining exposure to larger moves.
Advanced Techniques
Traders seeking greater precision can combine Smart Money Trades Pro with volume, momentum, or volatility indicators to validate signals. Observing sequences of BOS and CHoCH markers across multiple timeframes provides insight into liquidity accumulation and depletion trends. Tracking the expansion or contraction of ATR-based zones helps anticipate shifts in volatility, enabling better timing for entries and exits.
Customizing the structure period and confirmation type allows the indicator to adapt to different asset classes and timeframes. Shorter periods increase sensitivity to smaller swings, while longer periods filter noise and emphasize higher-probability structural breaks. By integrating these features, the indicator offers a robust statistical framework for disciplined, data-driven trading decisions.

Configurable 3MA with Crossover CloudThis script is a versatile and powerful enhancement of the classic triple moving average setup, designed to provide clear, at-a-glance insights into market trends and momentum shifts. It plots three moving averages on your chart and colors the area between the two shorter-term MAs, creating a visual "cloud" that instantly signals bullish or bearish sentiment.
The core of this indicator is its complete customizability, allowing you to tailor it precisely to your trading strategy and the asset you are analyzing.
Key Features:
Dynamic Crossover Cloud: The space between the first two moving averages is colored to represent momentum:
Green Cloud: Indicates a bullish crossover, where the shorter-term MA is above the medium-term MA.
Red Cloud: Indicates a bearish crossover, where the shorter-term MA is below the medium-term MA.
Complete Customization: Unlike standard MA indicators, every aspect of the three moving averages can be configured independently:
Length: Set the period for each MA.
Type: Choose between a Simple Moving Average (SMA) or an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) for each line.
Source: Base the calculation on any price source (close, open, high, low, hl2, etc.).
Individual Visibility Toggles: Clean up your chart by hiding any of the three moving averages directly from the settings panel.
How to Use:
This indicator is ideal for trend-following and crossover strategies.
Identify Momentum: Use the color of the cloud to quickly gauge short-term momentum. A green cloud suggests bullish strength, while a red cloud suggests bearish pressure.
Confirm the Trend: Use the third, long-term moving average (e.g., a 200-period MA) as a macro trend filter. For a higher probability trade, only consider long positions when the price is above the long-term MA and the cloud is green. Conversely, only consider short positions when the price is below the long-term MA and the cloud is red.
Customize for Your Style: Adjust the default settings (13 EMA, 50 SMA, 200 EMA) to fit your preferred timeframes and trading style, whether you're a scalper, day trader, or swing trader.

Moving Average Adaptive RSI [BackQuant]Moving Average Adaptive RSI
What this is
A momentum oscillator that reshapes classic RSI into a zero-centered column plot and makes it adaptive. It builds RSI from two parts:
• A sensitivity window that scans several recent bars to capture the strongest up and down impulses.
• A selectable moving average that smooths those impulses before computing RSI.
The output ranges roughly from −100 to +100 with 0 as the midline, with optional extra smoothing and built-in divergence detection.
How it works
Impulse extraction
• For each bar the script inspects the last rsi_sen bars and collects upward and downward price changes versus the current price.
• It keeps the maximum upward change and maximum downward change from that window, emphasizing true bursts over single-bar noise.
MA-based averaging
• The up and down impulse series are averaged with your chosen MA over rsi_len bars.
• Supported MA types: SMA, EMA, DEMA, WMA, HMA, SMMA (RMA), TEMA.
Zero-centered RSI transform
• RS = UpMA ÷ DownMA, then mapped to a symmetric scale: 100 − 200 ÷ (1 + RS) .
• Above 0 implies positive momentum bias. Below 0 implies negative momentum bias.
Optional extra smoothing
• A second smoothing pass can be applied to the final oscillator using smoothing_len and smooth_type . Toggle with “Use Extra Smoothing”.
Visual encoding
• The oscillator is drawn as columns around the zero line with a gradient that intensifies toward extremes.
• Static bands mark 80 to 100 and −80 to −100 for extreme conditions.
Key inputs and what they change
• Price Source : input series for momentum.
• Calculation Period (rsi_len) : primary averaging window on up and down components. Higher = smoother, slower.
• Sensitivity (rsi_sen) : how many recent bars are scanned to find max impulses. Higher = more responsive to bursts.
• Calculation Type (ma_type) : MA family that shapes the core behavior. HMA or DEMA is faster, SMA or SMMA is slower.
• Smoothing Type and Length : optional second pass to calm noise on the final output.
• UI toggles : show or hide the oscillator, candle painting, and extreme bands.
Reading the oscillator
• Midline cross up (0) : momentum bias turning positive.
• Midline cross down (0) : momentum bias turning negative.
• Positive territory :
– 0 to 40: constructive but not stretched.
– 40 to 80: strong momentum, continuation more likely.
– Above 80: extreme risk of mean reversion grows.
• Negative territory : mirror the same levels for the downside.
Divergence detection
The script plots four divergence types using pivot highs and lows on both price and the oscillator. Lookbacks are set by lbL and lbR .
• Regular bullish : price lower low, oscillator higher low. Possible downside exhaustion.
• Hidden bullish : price higher low, oscillator lower low. Bias to trend continuation up.
• Regular bearish : price higher high, oscillator lower high. Possible upside exhaustion.
• Hidden bearish : price lower high, oscillator higher high. Bias to trend continuation down.
Labels: ℝ for regular, ℍ for hidden. Green for bullish, red for bearish.
Candle coloring
• Optional bar painting: green when the oscillator is above 0, red when below 0. This is for visual scanning only.
Strengths
• Adaptive sensitivity via a rolling impulse window that responds to genuine bursts.
• Configurable MA core so you can match responsiveness to the instrument.
• Zero-centered scale for simple regime reads with 0 as a clear bias line.
• Built-in regular and hidden divergence mapping.
• Flexible across symbols and timeframes once tuned.
Limitations and cautions
• Trends can remain extended. Treat extremes as context rather than automatic reversal signals.
• Divergence quality depends on pivot lookbacks. Short lookbacks give more signals with more noise. Long lookbacks reduce noise but add lag.
• Double smoothing can delay zero-line transitions. Balance smoothness and timeliness.
Practical usage ideas
• Regime filter : only take long setups from your separate method when the oscillator is above 0, shorts when below 0.
• Pullback confirmation : in uptrends, look for dips that hold above 0 or turn up from 0 to 40. Reverse for downtrends.
• Divergence as a heads-up : wait for a zero-line cross or a price trigger before acting on divergence.
• Sensitivity tuning : start with rsi_sen 2 to 5 on faster timeframes, increase slightly on slower charts.
Alerts
• MA-A RSI Long : oscillator crosses above 0.
• MA-A RSI Short : oscillator crosses below 0.
Use these as bias or timing aids, not standalone trade commands.
Settings quick reference
• Calculation : Price Source, Calculation Type, Calculation Period, Sensitivity.
• Smoothing : Smoothing Type, Smoothing Length, Use Extra Smoothing.
• UI : Show Oscillator, Paint Candles, Show Static High and Low Levels.
• Divergences : Pivot Lookback Left and Right, Div Signal Length, Show Detected Divergences.
Final thoughts
This tool reframes RSI by extracting strong short-term impulses and averaging them with a moving-average model of your choice, then presenting a zero-centered output for clear regime reads. Pair it with your structure, risk and execution process, and tune sensitivity and smoothing to the market you trade.
