ETH Z-Pulse | QuantumResearchETH Z-Pulse | QuantumResearch
📉 Ethereum On-Chain Z-Score Composite for Trend Detection
ETH Z-Pulse is a custom on-chain valuation indicator developed by QuantumResearch, designed to identify key trend shifts in Ethereum based on three powerful on-chain metrics: NUPL, SOPR, and MVRV. It computes a composite Z-Score signal to detect statistically significant bullish or bearish phases in the market.
🔍 Core Components:
📈 NUPL Z-Score — Measures Unrealized Profit/Loss using Glassnode’s Market Cap vs. Realized Cap
📊 SOPR Z-Score — Spent Output Profit Ratio smoothed with an EMA filter
📉 MVRV Z-Score — Market Value to Realized Value comparison for Ethereum
The result is a single composite oscillator (On_chainz) that dynamically signals trend strength and valuation extremes.
⚙️ Signal Logic:
Bullish (Long Bias): When the composite Z-Score > +0.83
Bearish (Short Bias): When the Z-Score < -0.58
Neutral Zone: Values between thresholds (continuous signal)
Color-coded plots and chart bars visually highlight trend shifts and help distinguish accumulation vs. distribution phases.
🧠 Use Case:
Ideal for:
Long-term investors looking to assess ETH valuation cycles
Swing traders seeking macro trend confirmation
Analysts comparing on-chain signals with technical setups
📌 Technical Notes:
Requires on-chain data feeds from Glassnode and CoinMetrics
Designed specifically for Ethereum (ETH) on daily timeframe
Customizable Z-Score lengths for fine-tuning
Non-overlay indicator
⚠️ Disclaimer:
This tool is for educational and research purposes only.
Past performance is not indicative of future results.
On-chain metrics are probabilistic, not predictive. Always combine with other forms of analysis and risk management.

Power Block Consolidation with Volume @MaxMaserati 2.0Power Block Consolidation with Volume @MaxMaserati 2.0
Overview
Price action hinges on consolidation, the foundation of market moves. The "Power Block Consolidation with Volume @MaxMaserati 2.0" (MMPB) indicator uses a proprietary, ingenious system to identify high-probability consolidation zones—termed "power blocks"—where smart money drives accumulation or distribution. By leveraging a unique limitorphe closing candle system, to plots volume to signal price direction: significant volume at the high price indicates bullish continuation, while volume at the low price suggests bearish momentum. This tool empowers traders to exploit bullish and bearish trends with precision.
Key Features
Consolidation Detection: Pinpoints power blocks using a secret system, marking zones of smart money activity.
Volume Analysis: A proprietary limitrophe closing candle system splits volume into buying (high price) and selling (low price), revealing accumulation (buying pressure) or distribution (selling pressure).
Trend Visualization:
Bullish Trends: Green boxes and lines highlight consolidation zones with high volume at the high price, signaling upward continuation.
Bearish Trends: Red boxes and lines mark zones with high volume at the low price, indicating downward momentum.
NB: The volume matter more than the color of the box.
Example
High volume up at the box vs low volume at the low we expect an up move
Even we had a bearish Body close below the box price reconfirmed the up move
Price make the bullish upside move
Price retest the box and reject it strongly
Breakout and Retest: Captures breakouts from power blocks, with price often retesting the zone before resuming the trend.
Volume Labels: Displays buying (green) and selling (red) volume on lines for clear pressure analysis.
Breakout Alerts: Triggers alerts for bullish ("BuBC") and bearish ("BeBC") breakouts, with optional visual markers (triangles).
Strategy
MMPB is designed to capture smart money behavior in consolidation zones, where markets prepare for significant moves. Key principles:
Volume-Driven Direction: High volume at the high price within a power block signals strong bullish continuation; high volume at the low price indicates bearish potential.
Accumulation/Distribution: Buying volume reflects accumulation, priming bullish trends; selling volume signals distribution, fueling bearish trends.
Breakout and Retest: Price often breaks out from power blocks and retests the zone, offering low-risk entry points.
Consolidation as Precursor: Markets require consolidation to build momentum, making power blocks critical for trend prediction.
Traders can:
Enter on breakouts with strong volume confirmation.
Target retests of power blocks for high-probability setups.
Use volume labels to assess trend strength.
Use Cases
Trend Trading: Ride bullish or bearish trends post-breakout from high-volume power blocks.
Swing Trading: Use power blocks as dynamic support/resistance for entries and exits.
Smart Money Analysis: Identify accumulation (bullish) or distribution (bearish) zones.
Risk Management: Place stops at power block edges during retests.
Conclusion
The MMPB indicator, powered by a proprietary system, transforms consolidation analysis by identifying power blocks where smart money operates. Its limitrophe closing candle system highlights volume-driven trends, enabling traders to capitalize on bullish and bearish moves with confidence. Ideal for trend and swing traders, MMPB shines in markets where consolidation precedes significant trends, offering clear signals for breakouts and retests.

🎯 PURPOSE OF USAGE
The primary goal of the "AQPRO Pattern Map" is to equip traders with a highly efficient way of identifying significant candlestick patterns across different timeframes, making the decision-making process stronger in a sense of both quality and quantity of presented information.
Specifically, this indicator addresses the following needs:
Automation of pattern detection.
Nobody likes searching for patterns on the chart "by hand", because it takes too much time and mental energy. With this screener you can forget about this problem: automatic scanning for 27 of the most commonly used patterns will save your tens, if not hundreds of hours of time, so you can focus on what really matters;
Multi-timeframe (MTF) analysis.
This one is one of the most unique features of this indicator, because after conducting product research in library of open-source scripts alike this screener, almost none of reviewed indicators had MTF analysis feature embedded in them. This feature is important for the simplest of reasons: you see candlestick data from other timeframes without jumping from one timeframe to another . Needless to say how much time it will save for traders over the years of trading. See description below to learn more on exact functionality of our MTF analysis;
Risk management automation.
Humans tend to overestimate risk, when matters are about earning money from "financially-dangerous" activities and trading is no exception. To help traders better understand what they risk, we implemented a simple, yet effective way of displaying levels of risk for each pattern. For each new pattern on the chart you will be able see automatic creation of Take-Profit (TP) and Stop-Loss (SL) levels. It involves creation and displaying of lines and labels, representing each level at its exact coordinates. This elevates visual perception of risk for fellow traders and avoid excessive risk in many cases;
Simplicity in data visualization.
Charts, which are cluttered with pointless visual noise, presented as 'additional confirmation analysis', don't foster insights and are not worth a dime . We understand this issue very well and we designed our indicator with the solution to this problem in mind. Every bit of information, that you will see on your chart, will make sense both technically and visually — no more wasting time cleaning mess on your charts.
By addressing the needs, described above, this indicator will be a useful tool for any trader, who employs principles of candlestick pattern analysis, because most important pains of this kind of analysis are efficiently handled by our indicator.

📈 APPLICATION GUIDE
The way of application of this indicator is pretty straightforward, because trading methodologies based on candlestick patterns were developed decades ago and haven't changed much since then. However, we find it necessary to explain the most essential ways of application in this section.
Let's start with the basics — how you will your chart look when you load the indicator for the first time:
By default we have 5 main visual data "blocks":
Bullish patterns;
Bearish patterns;
Risk visualization;
Main Dashboard;
MTF Screener.
Let's review each of these groups one by one.
BULLISH & BEARISH PATTERNS
Patterns are displayed as up/down labels, which are styled in corresponding to trend colours. Each patterns has its own unique emoji to help traders easily navigate between patterns.
Also by default each pattern has its custom frame, inside of which resides candle (or multiple candles) of the pattern iself. These frames are made with purpose to show each pattern in a very clear way on the chart, because huge number of public scripts usually only show simple label of such patterns and don't highlight the pattern itself on the chart. To remove frames you can set "Frame Width" parameter to 0 in 'Visual Settings' group in the settings.
You can see the examples of frame on the screenshot below:
RISK VISUALIZATION (TP & SL)
Displaying Take-Profits and Stop-Losses in our indicator on the chart works quite simple: for each new trade indicator creates new pairs of lines and labels for TP and SL, while lines & labels from previous trade are erased for aesthetics purposes. Each label shows price coordinates, so that each trader would be able to grap the numbers in seconds.
See the visual showcase of TP & SL visualization on the screenshot below:
Also, whenever TP or SL of the current trade is reached, drawing of both TP and SL stops . When the TP is reached, additional '✅' emoji on the TP price is shown as confirmation of Take-Profit.
However, while TP or SL has not been reached, TP&SL labels and lines will be prolonged until one of them will be reached or new signals will come.
See the visual showcase of TP & SL stopping being visualized & TP on the screenshot below:
MAIN DASHBOARD
Main dashboard is displayed in the top right corner of the chart and it shows the data of latest pattern, that occurred on the current asset and current timeframe: pattern's name, TP, SL and trade status. Depending on bullishness or bearishness of the pattern, dashboard is colour in respective colour.
Also on the right of side TP and SL data block there is a so called trade status. It is basically an indication of wether or not latest pattern's trade is still active or not:
If TP or SL of the pattern have not been reached yet, trade is considered active and is marked with '⏳' emoji;
If TP or SL of the pattern have already been reached, trade is considered inactive and is marked with '✋' emoji.
See the visual showcase of dashboard on the screenshot below:
MTF Screener
MTF Screener is displayed right below the main dashboard and its has distinctive 'MTF Patterns' header row on the top, painted in gray colour to make sure that every traders understand he is looking at.
This screener shows the timeframe and name of patterns from four other timeframes, which trader can customize in the settings to his liking. This will help trader get more insights on global sentiment of other timeframes, which improves trading results overall if applied correctly.
In the future MTF Screener will be expanded to have more data in it, like TP and SL, age of pattern and etc.
See the visual showcase of the MTF Screener on the screenshot below:
Features, explained above, make this indicator quite versatile and suitable for incorporation in any trading strategy, which uses candlestick patterns. They are simple, yet insightful, and traders, which use similar strategies everyday, will truly appreciate the benefits of this indicator when they will set up this indicator for the first time on their chart.
🔔 ALERTS
This indicator employs alerts for an event when new pattern occurs. While creating the alert below 'Condition' field choose 'any alert() function call' .
When this alert is triggered, it will generate this kind of message:
string msg_template = "EXCHANGE:ASSET, TIMEFRAME: BULLISH_OR_BEARISH pattern PATTERN_NAME was found."
string msg_example = "BINANCE:BTCUSDT, 15m: bullish pattern 'Hammer' was found."
📌 NOTES
This indicator is most effective when used in combination with other technical analysis tools such as trendlines, moving averages, support/resistance levels or any other indicator-type tool. We strongly recommend using this indicator as confirmation indicator for your main trading strategy, not as primary source of signals;
If you want to trade directly by these patterns, make sure to use proper risk management techniques of your own and use TP&SL visualization on the chart to always have a clue about your current position;
If you lost track of visual components on the chart, look at the main dashboard to see text summary of data from latest pattern. Also don't forget to look at MTF Screener to have more context about MTF sentiment, because it is increases your understandings of MTF price trend and improves your decision-making process.
🏁 AFTERWORD
AQPRO Pattern Map was built to help traders automate candlestick pattern searching routine, improve chart readability and enhance perception of current potential risks, which may come from trading from a specific pattern. Indicator's main dashboard and MTF screener eliminate the need for constantly checking other timeframe for global sentiment, helping traders save even more time and fostering improved decision making.
This indicator will work in great conjunction with any other trading strategy as confirmation tool for entry decision. Using this indicator as primary source of signals is not recommended due to unstable nature of trading patterns.

- Lower timeframes (e.g., 5m, 15m) may produce more signals but with higher noise.
- **Confirm Signals**:
- Cross-check buy/sell signals with dashboard metrics (e.g., Trend, MFI, ADX).
- Use Golden/Death Cross as a trend filter rather than a standalone signal.
- **Risk Management**:
- Always use stop-losses and position sizing based on your risk tolerance.
- Avoid trading during high volatility unless part of your strategy.
- **Regular Updates**:
- Monitor TradingView for script updates from the author (KoKalito) to access new features or bug fixes.
Troubleshooting
- **No Signals**:
- Ensure the chart timeframe matches your settings (e.g., 60m for MTF Period).
- Check if filters (Volume, ADX) are too strict; try disabling them.
- **Dashboard Missing**:
- Verify “Dashboard Position” is set to Left or Right.
- Ensure dashboard metrics are enabled (e.g., Show Comp Score).
- **Alerts Not Triggering**:
- Confirm the alert condition is set to “NeuroFlow Pro Indicator” and the correct option (e.g., “Golden Cross Alert”).
- Check TradingView’s “Alerts” panel for errors or expired alerts.
- Reapply the indicator to the chart if it was recently updated.
- **EMA Crosses Not Showing**:
- Zoom in on the chart to see 🚀 (Golden Cross) or 💀 (Death Cross) symbols.
- Ensure EMA 50 and EMA 200 lengths are not identical (defaults: 50, 200).

Strike Price selection by GoldenJetThis script is designed to assist options traders in selecting appropriate strike prices based on the latest prices of two financial instruments. It retrieves the latest prices, rounds them to the nearest significant value, and calculates potential strike prices for both call and put options. The results are displayed in a customizable table, allowing traders to quickly see the relevant strike prices for their trading decisions.
The strike prices shown are In-The-Money (ITM), which helps options traders in several ways:
Saving from Theta Decay: On expiry day, ITM options experience less time decay (Theta), which can help preserve the option's value.
Capturing Good Points: ITM options have a higher Delta, meaning they move more in line with the underlying asset's price. This can help traders capture a good amount of points as the underlying asset's price changes.
In essence, this tool simplifies the process of determining strike prices, making it easier for traders to make informed decisions and potentially improve their trading outcomes.
AQPRO Block Force
📝 INTRODUCTION
AQPRO Block Force is a powerful trading tool designed to identify and track Orderblocks (OBs) in real-time based on Fair Value Gap (FVG) principles. This indicator employs quite strict yet effective FVG filtering criteria to ensure only significant OBs are displayed, avoiding minor inefficiencies or duplicates within the same impulse or corrective moves. Each OB adapts dynamically to price action and can be categorized as Classic, Strong, or Extreme, based on proprietary conditions and best ideas from SMC (Smart Money Concepts).
In addition to plotting Orderblocks, the indicator offers useful filtering systems like an Age Filter to ensure cleanliness of the OB data on the chart and prevent old, irrelevant OBs from obstructing the chart. Users can also enable MTF (Multi-Timeframe) functionality to view OBs from other timeframes, providing a comprehensive analysis across multiple levels of market structure. With extensive customization options, AQPRO Block Force allows traders to tailor the visuals and behavior to fit their specific trading preferences.
This indicator does not parse any instituotinal data, order books and other fancy financial sources for finding order blocks nor it uses them for confirmation purposes. Calculations algorithms of order blocks are based purely on current asset's price history.
IMPORTANT NOTE: in the sections below term 'quality' will be applied to orderblocks quite a number of times. By 'quality' in the context of orderblocks we mean the reaction of price upon the sweep of orderblock. Basically, if the price reverses after reaching the orderblock, this orderblock is considered to be of high quality. Definition for low -quality orderblock can be deducted by analogy.
🎯 PURPOSE OF USAGE
This indicator serves one and only purpose — help traders identify most lucrative institutional orderblocks on the chart in real time. Even though event of price reaching an orderblock cannot be considered as a sole signal in many trading strategies without proper confirmation, such event nevertheless is quite important in SMC-based trading, because when price sweeps OB it usually means, that a reversal will soon follow, but, of course, this is not the case every time.
Traders should not expect from this indicator detection of perfect orderblocks, which would surely revese the price on encounter, but they can expect is a time-proven algorithm of determing orderblocks that on average produces more high-quality orderblocks than simple similar tools from open-source libraries.
More in-depth advices on the usage will be given in the sections below, but for now let's summarise subgoals of the indicator:
Detecting orderblocks filtered through strict FVG validation rules to improve overall quality of orderblocks;
Classifying orderblocks as Classic, Strong, or Extreme based on wether or not classic orderblocks pass filtering conditions, which are based on crossing critical price levels and SMC principles like ChoCh (Change of Character);
Eliminating clutter and manage chart space with the Age Filter, removing old OBs outside a user-defined age range;
Utilizing MTF functionality to track significant OBs from other timeframes alongside current timeframe analysis;
Providing traders with customization options for indicator's visuals to help them organize information on the chart in a clean way.

📈 APPLICATION GUIDE
Application methodology of this indicator is pretty much the same as with any other indicator, whose purpose is to find and display orderblocks on the chart. However, before actually diving into the guide on application, we want to make a small step back to remind traders of the history of orderblocks as a concept, its limitations and benefits.
Orderblocks themselves are essentially just zones of potential institutional interest, which if reached are expected to reverse the price in the opposite direction. 'Potential' is a suitable remark for indicator's success probability, because, as was mentioned above, orderblocks don't guarantee price reversal regardless of quality of the indicator. This is the case for the simplest of reasons — orderblocks are based solely on price history and thus are to be considered a mathematical model , degree of success of which is never 100%, because all mathematical models abide by a "golden rule of trading" : past performance doesn't guarantee future results.
However, the extensive history of orderblocks clearly shows that this tool, despite being decades old, can still help traders produce market insights and improve any strategy's performance. Orderblocks can be used both as a primary source of signals and as confirmation tool, but from our experience they are better to be used as confirmation tool. Our indicator is not an exception in this matter and we advice any trader to use it mainly for confirmation purposes, because use-case of orderblocks as confirmation tools have much success stories on average than being used as primary signal source.
This being said, let's return to the application guide and start reviewing the indicator from the most basic step — how it will look like when you first load it on your chart:
This indicator consisis of 3 main logic blocks:
Orderblock evaluation;
MTF Orderblock evaluation;
Orderblock post-filtering.
The principles behind these logic blocks will be easy to understand for truly experiences traders, but we understand the need to explain them to a wider audience, so let's review each of these logic blocks below.
ORDERBLOCK EVALUATION
Principles behind our orderblock detection logic are as follows:
Find FVG (Fair Value Gap) .
Note: this indicator uses only three-candle FVGs and doesn't track FVGs with insidebars after third (farther) candle.
If you don't know what FVG means, we recommend researching this term in the Internet, but the basic explanation is this: FVG is the formation of candles, which are positioned in a way that there are an unclosed price area between 1st and 3rd candle.
Conditions:
bullish FVG = high of 3rd candle < low of 1st candle AND high of 3rd candle < close of 2nd candle AND high of 2nd candle < close of 1st candle AND low of 3rd candle < low of 2nd candle ;
bearish FVG = low of 3rd candle < high of 1st candle AND low of 3rd candle > close of 2nd candle AND low of 2nd candle > close of 1st candle AND high of 3rd candle > high of 2nd candle .
See visual showcase of valid & invalid bullish & bearish FVGs on the screenshot below:
As was shown on the screenshot above, the only correc t formation for FVGs are considered to be just like on pictures 1 and 2 (leftmost column of patterns) . Only these formations will take part in further determenings orderblocks.
Send FVGs through filtering conditions.
This is the truly important part. Without properly filtering FVGs we would get huge clusters of FVGs on the chart and they will not make sense to be reviewed, because there will be just too much of them and their quality will be very questionable .
Even though there is a quite number of ways to filter FVGs, we decided to go with the ones we deem actually useful. For this indicator we chose two methods, that work in tandem — 1) base candle's inside bar condition and 2) single appearance on current impulse/correction line. Let's review these conditions below and start with looking at the examples of them on the screenshot below:
Examples of 1st & 2nd conditions are displayed on the left and right charts respectively.
The filtering logic in 1st and 2nd is quite connected and further explanation should help you understand it just enough to start trading with our indicator.
Let's start with explaining the term 'base candle' and logic behind it. Base candle candle be explained quite shortly: it is the latest candle on the chart, whose high or low broke previous base candle's high or low respectively. The first candle in the time series of price data is by default considered the base candle. If any new candle after base candle doesn't overtake base candle's high or low (meaning, that this candle is inside the range of base candle), such candle is called an "inside bar" .
Inside bar's term is important to understand, because FVGs, which appear inside the inside bars are usually quite useless, because price doesn't react from them, so orderblocks with such FVGs are also of bad quality as well. Clear depiction of inside bar was provided in the screenshot of conditions above on the left chart, so we won't waste time making another example.
However, this is not it. Base candle, inside bars and a few other types of bars are all a part of SMC ideas and in the world of SMC there is a special term, that hold the most important place and is considered the cornerstone of SMC methodology — impulse/correction lines (valid pullbacks) . The average definition of impulse/correction lines is quite hard to understand for an average trader, but we can summarise like this:
Impulse/correction line is a line, that starts at the beginning of the sequence of base candles, each new candle of which consistently updates previous base candle's respective high/low.
We won't go into description of this principle because it is outside of scope of this indicator, but you can research this topic in the Internet by keywords ' impulse correction trading ' or 'valid pullback principles trading '. The general idea of usage of impulse/correction lines in the context of this indicator is that each such lines 'holds' inside at least one FVG and we need to find exactly the first FVG, while leaving all other FVGs behind, because they to be of worse quality on average.
Basically, by using translating these terms into conditions from example above, we have achieved a simple yet powerful filtering system. system for FVGs, which allows us to work with orderblocks of much higher quality than average open-source indicators.
If FVG passed filters, evaluate its OB.
When FVG is confirmed, we can start the evaluation of its orderblock. The evaluation of orderblocks consists of several checkpoints: 1) is orderblock beyond current ChoCh* AND/OR 2) is orderblock from extreme price levels, calculated by our proprietary risk system. Let's review these checkpoints below.
* ChoCh (Change of Character, fundamental SMC idea) — price level, which if broken by close of price can potentially cause a revesal of the trend to direction opposite to the the previous one. To learn more about ChoCh please research the term on the Internet, because this indicator uses its standard definition and explaining of this term goes beyond the scope of this indicator.
To determine if orderblock is beyond current ChoCh levels, we need to first determine where these levels are on the chart. ChoCh levels of this indicator are calculated with a very lite approach, which is based on pivot points.
You can see basic demonstration of ChoCh levels in action on the screenshot below:
IMPORTANT NOTE: pivot period for pivots points inside our indicator is by default equal to 5 and cannot be changed in settings at the moment of publication.
On the screenshot above you can clearly see that ChoCh levels are essentially highest/lowest pivot point levels in between certain range of bars, where price doesn't update its extremum. You can see on there screenshot a new type of line — BoS (Break of Structure). BoS is almost the same thing as ChoCh, but with one change: it is a confirmation of price updating its extremum in the same direction as it was before, while ChoCh updates price extremum in the direction opposite to which it was before .
Why do these levels matter when evaluating the orderblocks? Orderblocks, which are located beyond current BoS/ChoCh levels, are of much higher quality on average than average orderblocks and they are called Strong Orderblocks .
On the chart such orderblocks are marked with 'Strong OB' label inside the body of an orderblock.
You can see the examples of Strong OBs on the screenshot below:
That was the explanation of the 1st orderblock evaluation criteria. Now let's talk about the 2nd one.
Our 2nd evaluation criteria for orderblocks is a test on whether or price is behind specific price level, which is calculated by our proprietary risk system, which is based on fundamental of statistics, such as 'standard deviation' and etc.
This criteria allows us to catch orderblocks, which are located at quite extreme price levels, and mark them on trader's chart explicitly. Orderblocks, which are above our custom price levels, are called Extreme Orderblocks an are marked with 'Extreme OB' label inside orderblock's body.
You can see the example of Extreme OB on the screenshot below:
That was the explanation of the 2nd evaluation criteria of the orderblock.
If an orderblock doesn't pass any of these two criterias, it is considered a classic orderblock. These orderblock are most common ones and have the lowest success rate among other types of orderblocks, listed above. Such orderblocks are marked with 'OB' label inside the orderblock's body.
You can see the examples of classic OB on the screenshot below:
This is it for orderblock evaluation logic. After doing all these steps, all orderblocks that we found are collected and displayed on the chart with their bodies and label marks.
What happens after the detection of the orderblocks?
All active orderblocks are being tracked in real time and their statuses are being updated as well (Strong orderblock can become Extreme orderblock and vice versa) . By an active orderblock we mean an orderblock, which wasn't swept by price's high or low. Bodies of active orderblocks are prolonged to the next candle on each new candle.
If an orderblock was swept, indicator will stop prolonging this orderblock and will mark it as swept on the chart with almost hollow body and dashed border line of the orderblock's body. Also swept orderblocks lose their name label, so you won't see any text in the orderblock after it was swept, but you will see its colour.
You can see the example of an active & swept orderblocks on the screenshot below:
This functionality helps distinguish active orderblocks from swept ones (inactive) and make more informed decisions.
MTF OB EVALUATION
Principles of MTF OBs evaluation are exactly the same as they are for current timeframe's OBs.
MTF OBs are displayed on the chart in same way as other OBs, but with one little change: to the right side of MTF OB's status will be postfix of the timeframe, from which this OB came from. Timeframe for MTF OBs can be chosen by user in the settings of the indicator.
MTF OBs also preserve their statuses (Strong, Extreme and Classic) when displayed on the current timeframe, so you won't stack of mistakenly marked MTF OBs as Extreme just because they are far away from the price.
You can see the example of MTF OBs on the screenshot below:
Also MTF OBs when swept lose only their name label, but the timeframe postfix will still be there, so you could distinguish MTF OBs from OBs of the current timeframe.
See the example of swept MTF OBs below:
Overall MTF orderblocks is a very useful to get a sense of where the higher timeframe liquidity reside and then adjust your strategy accordingly. Taking your trades from the place of high liquidity, like orderblocks, doesn't guarantee certain solid price reaction, but it definitely provides a trader with much a greater change of 1) catching a decent price move 2) not losing money white trading against institutional players.
As was stated above, we recommend using this tool as a confirmation system for your main trading strategy, because its usage as primary source of signals in the long-run is not viable, judging from historical backtest results and general public opinions of traders.
ORDERBLOCK POST-FILTERING
To enhance filtering capabilities of this indicator even further, we decided to add two filters, which would help reduce the amount of bad and untradeable orderblocks. These two filters are 1) age filter and 2) cancellation filter. Let's review both of them below.
Talking about the age filter , this filter was designed to help get rid of old orderblocks, which clutter the chart with visual noise and make it harder to find valueable orderblocks. This filter has to parameters: min age and max age . What does age mean in the context of an orderblock? It is the distance between OB's left border's bar and current bar. If this distance is between min age and max age values, such orderblock is considered valid and age filter passes it for further evaluation, but this distance is too short or too long, age filter deletes this orderblock from the chart.
You can the example of an orderblock which didn't pass age filter requirements and was deleted from the chart on the screenshot below:
It is important to mention that the missing orderblock from the right chart will be appear on the chart right when its age will exceed min age parameter of age filter.
The principle of work for max age parameter can be deducted by analogy: if the orderblock's age in bigger than max age value of age filter, this orderblock will be deleted from the chart .
For MTF OBs we decided to their own age filter, so that it won't abide by current timeframe's restrictions, because MTF OBs are usually much older than OB from current timeframe, so they would deleted a lot of time before they even appear on the chart, if they would abide by the age filter of current timeframe.
Default parameters of age filter are "max age = 500" and "min age = 0" . "Min age = 0" means that there is restrictions on the minimum age of orderblocks and they will appear on the chart as soon as the indicator validates them.
That was the explanation of the age filter.
Talking about the cancellation filter , this filter was intended to spot orderblocks which were extremely untradable and visually alert traders about them on the chart. In this indicator this filter works like this: for each orderblock cancellation filter creates a special price level and checks if it was broken by the close of price.
This special price level consists of the farthest border. of the orderblock ( top border for bearish OBs and bottom border for bullish OBs) and a certain threshold, which is added to the farthest border. This threshold is based on the current ATR value of the asset. This filter helps detect the orderblocks which should not be considered for trading, because price has already went too far beyond the liquidity of this orderblock.
Orderblocks, which are spotted by this filter, are marked with '❌' emoji on the price history.
You can see the example of an orderblock which was spotted by the cancellation filter in the screenshot below:
This filter is applied to both current timeframe and MTF timeframe and is NOT configurable in the settings.
🔔 ALERTS
This indicator employs alerts for an event when new signal occurs on the current timeframe or on MTF timeframe. While creating the alert below 'Condition' field choose 'any alert() function call'.
When this alert is triggered, it will generate this kind of message:
// Alerts for current timeframe
string msg_template = "EXCHANGE:ASSET, TIMEFRAME: BULLISH_OR_BEARISH OB at SWEPT_OB_BORDER_PRICE was reached."
string msg_example = "BINANCE:BTCUSDT, 15m: bearish OB at 170000.00 was reached."
// Alerts for MTF timeframe
string msg_template_mtf = "EXCHANGE:ASSET, TIMEFRAME: BULLISH_OR_BEARISH MTF OB at SWEPT_OB_BORDER_PRICE was reached."
string msg_example_mtf = "BINANCE:BTCUSDT, 15m: bearish MTF OB at 170000.00 was reached."
📌 NOTES
These OBs work on any timeframe, but we would advise to to use on higher timeframes, starting from at least 15m, because liquidity from higher timeframe tends to be much valuable when deciding which orderblock to take for a trade;
Use these OBs as a confirmation tool for your main strategy and refrain from using them as primary signal source. Traders, which use SMC-based strategies, will benefit from these orderblocks the most;
We recommend trading only with Strong and Extreme orderblocks, because they are proved to be of much greater quality than classic orderblocks and they work quite well in mid-term and long-term trading strategies. Classic orderblocs can be used for short-term trading strategies, but even in this case these OBs cannot be blindly trusted;
We strongly advise against take for a trading orderblocks, which were spotted by cancellation filter, because they are considered to be voided of liquidity;
Don't forget that you can toggle different types of OBs, MTF settings and visual settings in the settings of the indicator and fine-tune them to your liking.
🏁 AFTERWORD
AQPRO Block Force is an indicator which designed with idea of helping trading save time on automatically detecting valuable orderblocks on the chart, evaluate their strength and filter out bad orderblocks. These employ the best principles of SMC, including FVGs, valid pullbacks and etc. FVGs play the key role in validating the existence of a particular orderblock and work in tandem with valid pullback to determine the maximum amount of true FVGs even in the most cluttered impulse/correction moves of the price. Our filters — Age Filter and Cancellation Filter — enhance the quality of the orderblocks by allowing only the newest and liquid orderblocks to appear on the chart. Additional MTF functionality allow trader to see orderblocks from other timeframe, which can be chosen in the settings, and get a sense of where the global liquidity resides. This indicator will be a useful confirmation tool to any trading strategy, but the SMC traders will surely get the most benefits out of it.

DXY Z-ScoreThe "DXY Z-Score" indicator measures the US Dollar Index’s (DXY) current price relative to its recent average, normalized by its standard deviation.
It calculates a standardized Z-Score that oscillates around zero, highlighting when the DXY is significantly overbought or oversold.
Key features include:
- The Z-Score line oscillating between fixed upper (+2) and lower (-2) horizontal levels
- A shaded background to emphasize the Z-Score range between these bands
- A dynamic table showing the current Z-Score value linked linearly to the Z-Score plot
This indicator is useful for assessing the strength or weakness of the US Dollar relative to its recent history, providing insights into potential market reversals or trend continuations.
ADX Z-Score OscillatorTitle: ADX Z-Score Oscillator
Description:
The ADX Z-Score Oscillator is a normalized version of the traditional Average Directional Index (ADX), designed to oscillate between fixed bounds for easier interpretation of trend strength. Instead of plotting the raw ADX line, this indicator calculates the Z-Score of the ADX relative to its recent average and standard deviation, allowing for consistent comparison over time and across different assets.
The Z-Score oscillates between fixed horizontal levels of +2 and -2, highlighting extreme values.
The orange line represents the current Z-Score of the ADX.
Horizontal reference lines at +2 (red), 0 (gray), and -2 (green) help define overbought/oversold or strong/weak trend zones.
A dynamic table on the chart shows the current Z-Score with color coding to indicate trend strength:
🔴 Z > 1.5 → Very strong trend
🟠 Z > 0.5 → Moderate trend
🔵 Z < -0.5 → Weakening or reversing trend
🟢 Z < -1.5 → Very weak trend or potential reversal zone
This transformation of the ADX into a bounded oscillator helps traders easily assess trend strength and changes in momentum without the ambiguity of varying ADX scale levels.
Bollinger Bands Z-ScoreBollinger Bands Z-Score Indicator
This indicator transforms the classic Bollinger Bands into a Z-Score oscillator displayed in a separate pane. It standardizes the Bollinger Bands’ basis line by calculating the Z-Score over a user-defined period, allowing you to see how many standard deviations the price deviates from the mean.
Upper and Lower Fixed Lines: These are set at +2 and -2 Z-Score levels, representing common thresholds for overbought and oversold conditions.
Z-Score Oscillator: The normalized Bollinger Bands oscillate smoothly between these fixed boundaries, providing a clearer perspective on volatility extremes.
Z-Score Table: Displayed on the right side, this table shows the current Z-Score value, along with fixed maximum (+2) and minimum (-2) limits, making it easy to track current momentum and volatility in real-time.
Use Cases:
Identify overextended price moves with standardized volatility measures.
Spot potential reversals or continuation setups by observing the Z-Score crossing key levels.
Complement traditional Bollinger Bands analysis with a statistically normalized perspective.
Input Parameters:
Length: The period used for Bollinger Bands and Z-Score calculation.
MA Type: Choose the moving average type for the basis line (SMA, EMA, SMMA, WMA, VWMA).
StdDev: Multiplier for the standard deviation bands.
Z-Score Length: The lookback period used to compute the mean and standard deviation for Z-Score normalization.
This indicator is perfect for traders seeking a statistically sound and visually clear representation of Bollinger Bands volatility and extremes.
Dynamic Volume Clusters with Retest Signals (Zeiierman)█ Overview
The Dynamic Volume Clusters with Retest Signals indicator is designed to detect key Volume Clusters and provide Retest Signals. This tool is specifically engineered for traders looking to capitalize on volume-based trends, reversals, and key price retest points.
The indicator seamlessly combines volume analysis, dynamic cluster calculations, and retest signal logic to present a comprehensive trading framework. It adapts to market conditions, identifying clusters of volume activity and signaling when the price retests critical zones.
█ How It Works
⚪ Volume Cluster Detection
The indicator dynamically calculates volume clusters by analyzing the highest and lowest price points within a specified lookback period.
Cluster Logic:
Bright Lines (Strong Red/Green):
These indicate that the price has frequently revisited these levels, creating a dense cluster.
Such areas serve as support or resistance, where significant historical trading has occurred, often acting as barriers to price movement.
Traders should consider these levels as potential reversal zones or consolidation points.
Faded or Darker Lines:
These lines indicate areas where the price has less historical activity, suggesting weaker clustering.
These zones have less market memory and are more likely to break, supporting trend continuation and rapid price movement.
⚪ Candle Color Logic (Market Memory)
Blue Candles (High Cluster Density):
Candles turn blue when the price has revisited a particular area many times.
This signals a highly clustered zone, likely to act as a barrier, creating consolidation or range phases.
These areas indicate strong market memory, potentially rejecting price attempts to break through.
Green or Red Candles (Low Cluster Density):
Once the price breaks out of these dense clusters, the candles turn green (bullish) or red (bearish).
This suggests the price has moved into a less clustered territory, where the path forward is clearer and trends are likely to extend without immediate resistance.
⚪ Retest Signal Logic
The indicator identifies critical retest points where the price crosses a cluster boundary and then reverses. These points are essential for traders looking to catch continuation or reversal setups.
⚪ Dynamic Price Clustering
The indicator dynamically adapts the clustering logic based on price movement and volume shifts.
Uses a dynamic moving average (VPMA) to maintain adaptive cluster levels.
Integrates a Kalman Filter for smoothing, reducing noise, and improving trend clarity.
Automatically updates as new data is received, keeping the clusters relevant in real-time.
█ How to Use
⚪ Trend Following & Reversal Detection
Use Retest signals to identify potential trend continuation or reversal points.
⚪ Trading Volume Clusters and Market Memory
Identify Key Zones:
Focus on bright, saturated cluster lines (strong red or green) as they indicate high market memory, where price has spent significant time in the past.
These zones are likely to exhibit a more choppy market. Apply range or mean reversion strategies.
Spot Potential Breakouts:
Faded or darker cluster lines indicate areas of low market memory, where the price has moved quickly and spent less time.
Use these areas to identify possible trend setups, as they represent lower resistance to price movement.
⚪ Interpreting Candle Colors for Market Phases
Blue Candles (High Cluster Density):
When candles turn blue, it signals that the price has revisited this area multiple times, creating a dense cluster.
These zones often trap price movement, leading to consolidations or range phases.
Use these areas as caution zones, where price can slow down or reverse.
Green or Red Candles (Low Cluster Density):
Once the price breaks out of these clustered zones, the candles turn green (bullish) or red (bearish), indicating lower market memory.
This signals a trend initiation with less immediate resistance, ideal for momentum and breakout trades.
Use these signals to identify emerging trends and ride the momentum.
█ Settings
Range Lookback Period: Sets the number of bars for calculating the range.
Zone Width (% of Range): Determines how wide the volume clusters are relative to the calculated range.
Volume Line Colors: Customize the appearance of bullish and bearish lines.
Retest Signals: Toggle the appearance of Triangle Up/Down retest markers.
Minimum Bars for Retest: Define the minimum number of bars required before a retest is valid.
Maximum Bars for Retest: Set the maximum number of bars within which a retest can occur.
Price Cluster Period: Adjusts the sensitivity of the dynamic clustering logic.
Cluster Confirmation: Controls how tightly the clusters respond to price action.
Price Cluster Start/Peak: Sets the minimum and maximum touches required to fully form a cluster.

Z = (OBV - Mean) / Standard Deviation
This reveals how unusually strong or weak volume momentum is compared to recent norms.
Smoothing
An optional moving average smoothing (SMA, EMA, VWMA, etc.) can be applied for cleaner signals.
Z-Score Table
A live Z-Score value is displayed in a table on the top-right of the indicator pane, clamped between +2 and -2:
+2 indicates unusually high positive volume momentum
-2 indicates unusually high negative volume momentum
How to Use It
Bullish Signal: Z-Score crossing above +1.5 or +2 signals strong buying volume pressure
Bearish Signal: Z-Score crossing below -1.5 or -2 signals strong selling volume pressure
Combine with Price Action: Use alongside price trends or other Z-Score indicators to improve decision making in SDCA or volume-based trading systems
RSI Z-Score + TableHow It Works
RSI Calculation
The standard RSI is computed over a user-defined period (default: 14), measuring the strength of recent price movements.
Z-Score Transformation
The RSI is then normalized using the Z-Score formula:

Z = (RSI - Mean) / Standard Deviation
This highlights whether RSI is unusually high or low compared to its historical behavior.
Smoothing
An optional EMA is applied to the Z-Score for smoother and more reliable signals (default: 10-period smoothing).
Z-Score Table
A real-time value of the RSI Z-Score is displayed in a table in the top-right of the indicator pane.
The value is clamped between +2 and -2
+2 aligns with strong overbought RSI conditions
-2 aligns with strong oversold RSI conditions
How to Use It
Buy Signal Potential: When the Z-Score drops below -1.5 or -2 → statistically oversold RSI
Sell Signal Potential: When the Z-Score rises above +1.5 or +2 → statistically overbought RSI
Use in Confluence: Combine with price action, trend filters, or other Z-Score indicators (e.g. OBV, VWAP, VIX) for SDCA or mean-reversion strategies
AQPRO ScalperX📝 INTRODUCTION
AQPRO ScalperX is a trading indicator designed for fast-paced, intraday trading. It uses Donchian channel breakouts, combined with a proprietary filtering system, to catch buy and sell opportunities as close to the beginning as possible without losing quality of the signals.
On top of core signals, ScalperX includes a real-time max profit tracker, a multi-timeframe (MTF) dashboard, support and resistance zones, and risk management visualization tools like automatic rendering of TP and SL lines. The indicator is fully customizable for both its visuals and functional settings.
🎯 PURPOSE OF USAGE
This indicator was initially designed with the idea of trying to make such a tool, that would be able to catch trend reversal in the most safe way. In this particular situation term 'safe way' is very abstract and it is up to interpretation, but we decided that our definition will be 'trading with price breakouts' , meaning that we would like to capitalize on price breaking its previous structure in the direction opposite to the previous one.
You can clearly see on the chart how buy and sell signals are going one after another on the screenshot below:
This ensures that we follow trend consistently and without missing out on potential profits. Just like they say: " let the winners run ".
Even though indicator with similar goals already exist in the open market, we believe that our proprietary algorithms and filters for determining price breakouts can make a big difference to traders, which employ similar strategies on daily basis, by helping them understand where are the potential high-quality breakouts might be. We haven't found indicator with exact same functionality as ours, which means that traders will be able to leverage an actually new tool to generate new price insights.
In short, main goals of this indicator are as follows:
Catching high-quality price breakouts, filtered to reduce the amount of choppy moves and false signals;
Tracking potential profits in real-time, directly on trader's chart;
Organizing data visualization of data pf latest signals from chosen asset from multiple timeframe in one dashboard;
Automated highlighting of key support and resistance zones on the chart, which serve as confirmation for main signals;
⚙️ SETTINGS OVERVIEW
Options for customization of this indicator are straightforward, but let's review them to make things certainly clear:
🔑 ScalperX / Main Settings
Range — defines the "wideness" of the breakout boxes. Higher values create wider breakout zones and impact breakout sensitivity;
Filter — adjusts the spacing between breakout boxes, determining the strictness of signal filtering. Higher values lead to more selective and rarer signals;
Show Max Profit — displays a real-time line and label that updates when a trade achieves a new peak profit, measured in ticks.
⏰ MTF Signal / Main Settings
Show MTF Signals — enables the generation of buy/sell signals from selected higher timeframes, displayed as labels on the current chart;
Timeframe — specifies the higher timeframe to use for MTF signal detection, such as 1 hour (1h) or 4 hours (4h).
🗂️ MTF Dashboard / Main Settings
Show MTF Dashboard — activates a dashboard that tracks entries, TP, SL, and overall trade bias for one selected symbol across four customizable timeframes;
* Dashboard position ( Vertical ) — adjusts whether the dashboard appears on the Top, Middle, or Bottom of the chart;
* Dashboard position ( Horizontal ) — aligns the dashboard Left, Center, or Right within the chart window;
* the name of the parameter is hidden in the settings
🗂️ MTF Dashboard / Ticker
Ticker to Track — Allows you to choose the specific ticker symbol (e.g., BINANCE:BTCUSDT) for MTF tracking.
🗂️ MTF Dashboard / Timeframes
* Timeframe 1 — set the first timeframe for multi-timeframe analysis (e.g., 15 minutes);
* Timeframe 2 — set the second timeframe for multi-timeframe analysis (e.g., 30 minutes);
* Timeframe 3 — set the third timeframe for multi-timeframe analysis (e.g., 1 hour);
* Timeframe 4 — set the fourth timeframe for multi-timeframe analysis (e.g., 4 hours).
* the name of the parameter is hidden in the settings
🛡️ Risk Management / Main Settings
Show TP&SL — displays dynamic lines and labels for the entry, Take Profit (TP), and Stop Loss (SL) of the most recent signal, updated in real-time until a new signal triggers;
Risk-to-Reward Ratio (R:R) — defines the ratio for TP and SL calculation to control your risk and reward on every trade.
📐 Support & Resistance / Main Settings
Show Support & Resistance Zones — enables dynamic zones based on pivot points, colored bullish or bearish based on price context;
History Lookback — defines the number of bars to consider when calculating support and resistance levels. Increasing this results in zones derived from longer-term price structures.
🎨 Visual Settings / ScalperX
Bullish Box — defines the color for bullish breakout boxes;
Bearish Box — defines the color for bearish breakout boxes;
Max Profit — sets the color for the max profit line on the chart.
🎨 Visual Settings / S&R
Support — defines color used for standard support zones;
Resistance — defines color used for standard resistance zones;
Strong Support — defines special color for zones classified as "strong support";
Strong Resistance — defines special color for zones classified as "strong resistance".
🎨 Visual Settings / MTF Dashboard
Bullish — sets the color for bullish trade states in the MTF dashboard;
Bearish — sets the color for bearish trade states in the MTF dashboard.
🔔 Alerts / Main Settings
Buy & Sell — toggles alerts for buy and sell signals detected by the indicator in the current chart timeframe;
MTF Buy & Sell — toggles alerts for buy and sell signals detected across the selected MTF timeframes.
📈 APPLICATION GUIDE
Application flow of this indicator very easy to understand and get used to, because all of the necessary elements — analysis, drawing, alert — are already automated by our algorithms. Let's review how the indicator works.
Let's start with the most basic thing — how will your indicator look when you load it on your chart for the first time:
AQPRO ScalperX consists mainly of 6 logic blocks:
ScalperX signals;
Risk visualization;
Max Profit tracking;
MTF scalper signals;
MTF dashboard;
Support & Resistance zones.
Description of each logic block is provided in the corresponding sections below.
SCALPERX SIGNALS
Signals, generated by our indicator, are shown on the chart as coloured up/down triangle. When a signal appears on the chart, indicator also create a box of length equal to 'Range' parameter from "Main Settings" group of settings. This box is intended to show which area of the price was broken by current candle.
It also important to acknowledge, the breakout itself happens only when price closes beyond broken price area with its close (!) price . Breakouts with highs or lows are not counted. This reduces the amount of low-quality signals and ensures that only the strong breakout will appear on the chart.
VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: all signals are considered valid only on the close of the candle, which triggered the signal, so if you want to enter a trade by any signal, wait for its candle to close and open your trade right on the next candle.
Talking about scalper's settings, we need to shed a light on how the changes in them affect signal's quality.
Parameter 'Range' defines the amount of bars, that will be review prior to current candle to determine wether the price area of this bars is good enough to track and if current candle actually broke this price area.
👍 Rule of thumb : the higher the 'Range' is, the "wider" the boxes. Also the with the increase of this parameter rises the lag of the signals, so be carefully with setting high values to this parameter.
See the visual showcase of signals with different 'Range' parameters on the screenshot below:
The example above features two instancies of ScalperX with two different 'Range' parameter values: 15 (leftchart) and 5 (right chart). You can clearly see, that on left chart here are 2 signals in comparison to 6 signals on right chart. Also signals on the left side have bigger lag and they don't catch the start of the move in comparison to how quickly tops and bottoms are catched with low 'Range' . However, low 'Range' will lead to excessive amount of signals, quality of which during 'whipsaw' markets is not that great.
✉️ Our advice on how to optimally set 'Range' parameter:
Use low values to trade during the times, when there are a lot of clean up and down impulses. This way you will catch reversal opportunities sooner and the quality of the signals will still be great;
Use high values on the 'whipsaw' markets. This will filter out many bad signals, that you would get with low-value 'Range' , and will drastically reduces amount of losing trades.
Talking about the 'Filter' parameter, this particular setting defines the 'strictness' of rules which will be applied to price area validation process. Essentially, the higher this parameter is, the stronger price impulse has to be confirm the breakout. However, changes in this parameter will not impact the "wideness" of boxes at all.
👍 Rule of thumb : the higher the 'Filter' is, the more separated the signal will be. Setting this parameter to high value will lead to increase in lag and big reduction in amount of signals, so be careful this parameter to high values.
See the visual showcase of signals with different 'Filter' parameters on the screenshot below:
The example above features two instancies of ScalperX with two different 'Filter' parameter values: 20 (left chart) and 2.5 (right chart). You can clear see, that low 'Filter' generated 6 signals, while higher one generated only 4 signals. However if you look closer, you will see that 2 signals, that existing in the yellow dashed area on the right chart, don't exist in the same area on the left chart. This is because high value of this parameter requires price impulse to be very strong in order for the indicator to mark this breakout as a valid one. What is more important is that these 2 'missing' signals were actually bad and, technically, we actually cut our losses in this case with high value of 'Filter' . You can see that the leftmost sell signal on the left chart eventually closed in a nice profit, in comparison to the same trade being closed in a loss on the right chart because of the 2 signals that we were talking about above.
It is important to note, that setting 'Filter' to low values will not affect performance this much as it low value of 'Range' do, because the indicator already works on low values of this parameter by default and the signals on average are already good enough for trading.
✉️ Our advice on how to optimally set 'Filter' parameter:
Use low values to trade on the markets with clean up and down impulses. This way you avoid excessive filtering and leave a room for good signals to come right at you;
Use high values to trade on 'whipsaw' markets. Higher values of this parameter on these markets have same effect as high 'Range' parameter: filtering false signals and leaving room for actually strong price impulses, which you will later capitalize on.
RISK VISUALIZATION (TP&SL)
Rendering Take-Profits and Stop-Losses in our indicator works quite simple: for each new trade indicator creates new pairs of lines and labels for TP and SL, while lines & labels from previous trade are erased for aesthetics purposes. Each label shows price coordinates, so that each trader would be able to grap the numbers in seconds.
See the visual showcase of TP & SL visualization on the screenshot below:
Also, whenever TP or SL of the current trade is reached, drawing of both TP and SL stops. When the TP is reached, additional '✅' emoji on the TP price is shown as confirmation of Take-Profit.
However, while TP or SL has not been reached, TP&SL labels and lines will be prolonged until one of them will be reached or new signals will come.
See the visual showcase of TP & SL stopping being visualized & TP on the screenshot below:
MAX PROFIT TRACKING
This mechanic is not particularly a new one in field of trading, but people usually forgot that it can be a useful indicator of state of the market:
when lines and labels of Max Profit are far from entry points on consistent basis , it usually means that indicator's signals actually can catch a beginning of good price moves, which enables trader to capitalize on them;
when lines and labels of Max Profit are close to entry points on consistent basis , it means that either market is choppy or the indicator can't catch trading opportunities in time. To 'fix' this you can try to reconfigure scalper's parameters, which were described above.
Principles of Max Profit in this indicator are of industry-standard: when price updates its extremum and 'generates' more profit than it previously did, Max Profit label and line change their position to this extremum. Max Profit label displays the maximum potential amount of profit that a trader could have got during this trade in pips (!) .
See the visual showcase of Max Profit work on the screenshot below:
MTF SCALPER SIGNALS
The principles of these signals are exactly the same as principles for classic Scalper signals. Refer to 'Scalper Signals' section above to rehearse the knowledge.
Logic behind these signals is very simple:
We take classic Scalper signals;
We request the data about these latest signals from specific other timeframe ( user can choose it in the settings );
If such signals appeared, we display it on the chart as a big label with timeframe value inside of it. In comparison to classic signals, no additional boxes are created . TP&SL functionality doesn't cover MTF signals, so don't expect to see TP&SL lines and labels for MTF signals.
See the visual showcase of MTF Scalper signals on the screenshot below:
MTF DASHBOARD
The functionality of the dashboard is pretty simple, but it makes the dashboard itself a very powerful tool in a hands of experienced trader.
Let's review structure of MTF dashboard on the screenshot below:
The important feature of MTF dashboard is that its tracks latest trade's data from a particular ticker and its four timeframes, all of which any trader chooses in the settings. This means, that you can be on asset ABC , but track the data from asset XYZ . This allows for a quick scan of sentiment from different assets and their timeframes, which gives traders a clue on what is the trend on these assets both on lower and higher timeframes at the same moment and saves a lot of time from jumping from one asset & timeframe to another.
To see that this is exactly the case with our indicator, see the screenshot below:
Needless to say, that you can track current asset in the dashboard as well. This will have the same benefits, described in the paragraph above.
You can also customize colours for bullish and bearish patterns for MTF Dashboard in the settings.
SUPPORT & RESISTANCE ZONES
Support & resistance (S&R) zones are a great tool for confirming Scalper signals in complex situations. Using these zones to determine whether or a particular entry opportunity is good is a practice of professional traders, which we specifically added to our indicator for the reason of improving the quality of Scalper signals in long run.
The mechanics behind these zones is based on pivot points, the lookback for which you can customize in the parameter called 'History Lookback (Bars)' in "Support & Resistance / Main Settings" group of settings. Increasing this parameter will lead to a appearance of more 'global' zones, but they will appear much rarer, rather then zones, generated with low values of this parameter.
The quality of these zones doesn't change much when changing this parameter — it only changes the frequency of the zones on the chart. Zones, generated from high values of this parameter are more suitable for long-term trading, while zones, generated from low value of this parameter, are more suitable for short-term trading.
It also important to mention that any zone on the chart is considered active only until the moment its farther border ( top border for resistance zones and bottom border for support zones) is reached by price's high or low .
Take a look on the screenshot below to see which zones does the indicator draw:
Let's review the zones themselves now:
Classic Support/Resistance Zone — a standard zone, which on average has amedium success rate to reverse the price when collided with it;
High-buyer-volume/High-seller-volume Support/Resistance Zone — a stronger zone, which on average has much better success rate to reverse the price when collided with it. Classic zone is marked as high-volume only if the up/down volume near the pivot point of this zone is greater than a certain threshold ( not changeable );
Extreme Support/Resistance Zone — a zone, which appeared beyond price's least-possible-to-cross levels, and has to the highest success rate of reversing the price on encounter across the zones, mentioned previously. Classic zone, which appeared beyond certain price levels, calculated with our proprietary risk system, is considered extreme. Classic zone doesn't need to be high-volume to become an Extreme Zone!
High-buyer-volume/High-seller-volume Extreme Support/Resistance Zone — an Extreme Zone, which has also passed up/down volume evolution process, mentioned in the point 2 .
Trading with the zones, mentioned above, with highest-on-paper success rate — especially Extreme Zones — does NOT guarantee you a price reversal when the price will reach this zone. However, by conducting our own extensive research with this indicator, we have found that using these zone will actually help you increase your success rate on average, because using these zones as confirmation systems filter out quite a number of false signals on average.
It is also important to mention, that opacity (same as 'transparency') of S&R zones depends on the volume of around zone's pivot point:
if volume is high , zone has 'brighter' (less opacity) colour;
if volume is low , zone has 'darker' (more opacity) colour.
Let's review examples of Scalper signal, which 1) where filtered out by our S&R zones and 2) where confirmed by our S&R zones. See the screenshot below:
The example above clearly shows the importance of having an S&R zone confirming the signal. This kind of 'team work' between of Scalper signals and S&R zones results in filtering lots of bad signals and confirmation of truly strong ones.
🔔 ALERTS
This indicator employs alerts for an event when new signal occurs on the current timeframe or on MTF timeframe. While creating the alert below 'Condition' field choose 'any alert() function call'.
When this alert is triggered, it will generate this kind of message:
// Alerts for current timeframe
string msg_template = "EXCHANGE:ASSET, TIMEFRAME: BUY_OR_SELL"
string msg_example = "BINANCE:BTCUSDT, 15m: Buy"
// Alerts for MTF timeframe
string msg_template_mtf = "MTF / EXCHANGE:ASSET, TIMEFRAME: BUY_OR_SELL"
string msg_example_mtf = "MTF / BINANCE:BTCUSDT, 1h: Buy"
📌 NOTES
This indicators works best on assets with high liquidity; most suitable timeframes range from 1m to 4h (depends on your trading style) ;
Seriously consider using S&R zones as confirmation to main Scalper signals or any of your own signals. Confirmation process may filter out a lot of signals, but your PNL History will say "thank you" to you in the long-run and you will see yourself how good confirmed signals actually do work;
Don't forget to look at MTF dashboard from time to time to see global sentiment. This will help you time your entry moments better and will improve your performance in the long run;
This indicator can serve both as primary source of signals and as confirmation tool, but we advise to try to combine it with your own strategy frst to see if it will improve your performance.
🏁 AFTERWORD
AQPRO ScalperX was designed to help traders identify high-quality price breakouts and generate market insights based on them, which include signal generation. Main feature of this indicator is Scalper algorithm, which generate price-breakout-based signals directly on your chart.
Alongside these signals you can leverage 1) MTF Dashboard to track latest trade's data from chosen asset and its four timeframes, 2) risk visualization functionality (TP&SL) to improve understanding of current market risks and 3) Support & Resistance zones, which serve as a great confirmation tool for Scalper signals, but can also work with any other signal generation tool to enhance its performance.

The current Z-Score (clamped version) is shown in real time on the right-hand info panel.
🧠 How to Use It
+2 Zone (Table: Green):
Market fear is at an extreme. Historically, such conditions are contrarian bullish—possible entry zones.
–2 Zone (Table: Red):
Indicates extreme optimism and low fear. Often a signal to be cautious or take profits.
Middle range (±0.5):
Market is neutral. Avoid major decisions based solely on sentiment here.
🧪 Best Practices
Combine with price action, volume, or trend filters.
Works well on daily or 4H timeframes.
Not a standalone signal—best used to confirm or fade sentiment extremes.
SSRO Z-ScoreSSRO Z-Score Indicator — Description
What it does:
This indicator measures the Stablecoin Supply Ratio (SSR) relative to Bitcoin’s market cap and calculates a normalized Z-Score of this ratio to help identify potential market tops and bottoms in the crypto market.
How it works:
The Stablecoin Supply Ratio (SSR) is calculated by dividing Bitcoin’s market capitalization by the combined market capitalization of major stablecoins (USDT, USDC, TUSD, DAI, FRAX).
The SSR is then smoothed over a user-defined lookback period to reduce noise.
A Z-Score is computed by normalizing the SSR over a specified moving window, which shows how far the current SSR deviates from its historical average in terms of standard deviations.
This Z-Score is further smoothed using an exponential moving average (EMA) to filter short-term volatility.
How to read the Z-Score:
Z-Score = 0: SSR is at its historical average.
Z-Score > 0: SSR is above average, indicating Bitcoin’s market cap is relatively high compared to stablecoin supply, potentially signaling bullish market conditions.
Z-Score < 0: SSR is below average, indicating stablecoin supply is high relative to Bitcoin’s market cap, possibly signaling bearish pressure or increased liquidity waiting to enter the market.
Upper and Lower Bands: These user-defined levels (e.g., +2 and -2) represent thresholds for extreme conditions. Values above the upper band may indicate overbought or overheated market conditions, while values below the lower band may indicate oversold or undervalued conditions.
Additional Features:
A dynamic table displays a linear scaled Z-Score alongside the main plot, clamped between -2 and +2 relative to the upper and lower bands for intuitive interpretation.
Usage Tips:
Combine the SSRO Z-Score with other technical indicators or volume analysis for more reliable signals.
Look for divergence between price and Z-Score extremes as potential reversal signals.
Smoothed ROC Z-Score with TableSmoothed ROC Z-Score with Table
This indicator calculates the Rate of Change (ROC) of a chosen price source and transforms it into a smoothed Z-Score oscillator, allowing you to identify market cycle tops and bottoms with reduced noise.
How it works:
The ROC is calculated over a user-defined length.
A moving average and standard deviation over a separate window are used to standardize the ROC into a Z-Score.
This Z-Score is further smoothed using an exponential moving average (EMA) to filter noise and highlight clearer cycle signals.
The smoothed Z-Score oscillates around zero, with upper and lower bands defined by user inputs (default ±2 standard deviations).
When the Z-Score reaches or exceeds ±3 (customizable), the value shown in the table is clamped at ±2 for clearer interpretation.
The indicator plots the smoothed Z-Score line with zero and band lines, and displays a colored Z-Score table on the right for quick reference.
How to read it:
Values near zero indicate neutral momentum.
Rising Z-Scores towards the upper band suggest increasing positive momentum, possible market tops or strength.
Falling Z-Scores towards the lower band indicate negative momentum, potential bottoms or weakness.
The color-coded table gives an easy visual cue: red/orange for strong positive signals, green/teal for strong negative signals, and gray for neutral zones.
Use cases:
Identify turning points in trending markets.
Filter noisy ROC data for cleaner signals.
Combine with other indicators to time entries and exits more effectively.

VWAP Z-Score Oscillator + Scaled TableVWAP Z-Score Oscillator + Scaled Table
This indicator calculates the Z-Score of the VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) based on your chosen source price and reset period (Session, Week, Month, Quarter, or Year).
The Z-Score represents how many standard deviations the current price is from the VWAP, visualized as an oscillator oscillating between ±3 sigma levels. The indicator also features three standard deviation bands for easy reference.
To enhance readability, a scaled Z-Score is displayed in a clean, minimalistic table on the top right of the indicator panel. This score is linearly capped between -2 and +2, mapping the raw Z-Score values with limits at ±3 sigma for clarity and quick assessment.
Use this tool to identify extreme deviations from the VWAP, which may signal potential reversals or continuation of price trends.
