Liquidation Map [Alpha Extract]A sophisticated liquidity distribution visualization system that identifies potential liquidation zones through pivot-based detection and renders them as an interactive histogram with cumulative distance-to-liquidation curves. Utilizing multi-exchange volume aggregation and ATR-scaled pocket detection, this indicator delivers institutional-grade liquidity mapping with real-time histogram display showing relative concentration of long and short liquidation levels across configurable price ranges. The system's box-based rendering architecture combined with cumulative distribution overlays provides comprehensive visual assessment of asymmetric liquidity positioning for strategic trade planning.
🔶 Advanced Multi-Exchange Aggregation Framework
Implements intelligent ticker detection and multi-source volume aggregation across major exchanges including Binance, Bybit, KuCoin, OKX, and MEXC for accurate liquidity weight calculations. The system automatically identifies base currency (BTC, ETH, SOL) from chart ticker, retrieves volume data from matching perpetual contracts across multiple venues, and aggregates into composite volume metric for enhanced pocket weighting accuracy.
🔶 Pivot-Based Liquidation Pocket Detection
Features sophisticated swing point identification using configurable pivot width with ATR-scaled vertical zone construction for volatility-adaptive pocket sizing. The system detects pivot highs for short liquidation zones (placed above swing) and pivot lows for long liquidation zones (placed below swing), applying 200-period ATR with percentage multipliers to determine pocket heights that adjust to market volatility conditions.
🔶 Interactive Histogram Visualization Engine
Provides real-time box-based histogram rendering in indicator pane with configurable bin counts (up to 400 columns) and adjustable height, displaying liquidity concentration across fixed percentage range above and below current price. The system calculates bin sizes from view range, accumulates pocket weights into price bins, and renders vertical bars with gradient color intensity reflecting relative liquidity concentration at each price level.
🔶 Cumulative Distance Overlay System
Implements innovative cumulative distribution curves showing aggregate liquidity distance from current price for both long (left) and short (right) positions. The system calculates running totals of pocket weights from current price outward in both directions, normalizes against maximum span, and overlays line segments showing how much total liquidity exists at various distances, enabling instant assessment of liquidation cascade potential.
🔶 Dynamic Price Range Adaptation
Features fixed percentage-based view window that maintains consistent price range visualization across all timeframes and instruments, automatically centering histogram on current price with configurable +/- percentage bounds. The system recalculates histogram bins and pocket distributions on each bar close, ensuring visualization adapts to price movement while maintaining interpretable scale regardless of volatility regime.
🔶 Touch Detection and Weight Adjustment
Provides intelligent pocket state tracking that identifies when price trades through liquidation zones and applies configurable weight multipliers to touched pockets for historical context. The system monitors price interaction with pocket midpoints, marks pockets as "hit" when violated, and optionally increases their visual weight (default 5x) to emphasize historical liquidation levels while distinguishing from untouched future zones.
🔶 Gradient Intensity Color System
Implements sophisticated color gradient engine that modulates bar opacity from transparent to opaque based on relative liquidity concentration within each bin. The system normalizes bin values against maximum liquidity, applies color interpolation from faded to vivid hues, and distinguishes long liquidation zones (cyan) from short liquidation zones (yellow/gold) with current price column highlighted in red for instant orientation.
🔶 Performance-Optimized Rendering Architecture
Utilizes efficient box and line object management with dynamic allocation based on histogram configuration, implementing intelligent cleanup and reuse to maintain smooth performance. The system includes adaptive line budget calculations that adjust segment density for cumulative curves based on available object limits, ensuring consistent operation even with maximum histogram resolution settings.
🔶 Asymmetric Distribution Analysis
Calculates separate cumulative distributions for long and short liquidation zones split at current price, enabling identification of imbalanced liquidity positioning. The system normalizes distributions against respective maximums and overlays both curves on single histogram, allowing traders to instantly assess whether more liquidation risk exists above (shorts vulnerable) or below (longs vulnerable) current price levels.
🔶 Configurable Label and Scale System
Provides price axis labeling with adjustable frequency to reduce clutter while maintaining reference points, displaying price values at regular column intervals with configurable offset positioning. The system includes current price label showing exact value and percentile position within view range, offering both absolute price reference and relative positioning context for distribution interpretation.
🔶 Historical Pocket Persistence Framework
Maintains rolling window of liquidation pockets up to 3000 bars with automatic expiration management and optional preservation of touched zones for historical analysis. The system tracks pocket creation time, monitors age against lookback limits, and manages array cleanup to prevent memory overflow while retaining relevant historical liquidation levels for pattern recognition and support/resistance validation.
This indicator delivers sophisticated liquidity distribution analysis through histogram visualization and cumulative distance curves that reveal asymmetric positioning of potential liquidation levels. Unlike simple liquidation heatmaps that show absolute levels, the Liquidation Map's cumulative distribution overlays instantly communicate how much total liquidity exists at various distances from current price, enabling assessment of cascade potential. The system's multi-exchange volume aggregation, touch-weighted historical zones, and fixed-range visualization make it essential for traders seeking strategic positioning around institutional liquidity clusters in cryptocurrency futures markets. The histogram format enables instant identification of price levels where concentrated liquidations may trigger significant volatility or reversal events, while the asymmetric distribution curves reveal whether market structure favors upside or downside cascades.

Golder/Silter SetupsGolden/Silver Strategy
Overview
The Tony Rago Golden/Silver Strategy is a high-precision mean-reversion system specifically engineered for the Nasdaq (NQ/MNQ). It leverages the psychological 100-point price blocks to identify institutional exhaustion and reversal points.
Unlike standard "grid" bots, this strategy uses a sophisticated "Arm & Fire" logic: it requires a specific price "touch" to arm the setup, followed by a retracement to a "Golden" entry level to execute.
Key Logic: The 100-Point Grid
The strategy divides price action into 100-point blocks (e.g., 19500 to 19600).
Golden Setup (Long): Triggered when price touches the 50 level (mid-point). The order is placed at the 26 level on the retracement.
Silver Setup (Short): Triggered when price touches the 00 or 100 levels (block boundaries). The order is placed at the 77 or 26 levels on the retracement.
Professional Risk Management
This edition features a Dual-Contract Management system designed for Prop Firm consistency:
Contract 1 (The Scalp): Aims for a quick 24-point target (TP1) to secure realized gains and cover costs.
Contract 2 (The Runner): Stays in the trade for an extended 51-point target (TP2).
Automated Break-Even (BE): The moment TP1 is hit, the Stop Loss for the Runner is automatically moved to the entry price (plus a small offset). This ensures a "risk-free" environment for the remainder of the trade.
Independent Stop Losses: The Scalp and the Runner use different SL distances to account for Nasdaq volatility, preventing a single "noise" wick from wiping out the entire position.
Intelligent Filters
ADX Range Filter: The strategy monitors market trend strength. It only allows trades when the ADX is below a user-defined threshold (default 25), ensuring you only play mean-reversion during ranging or "choppy" markets.
MA Visual Semaphor: The 50 EMA changes color dynamically based on ADX (Lime/Green for Range, Orange/Red for Trend), giving you an instant visual "Go/No-Go" signal.
Time-Session Filtering: Optimized for three custom sessions (NY Open, Mid-Day Reversal, and Late Night). Outside these sessions, the strategy can "Arm" setups in memory but will not "Fire" orders.
How to Use
Timeframe: Optimized for 1-Minute or 2-Minute charts for precision entry.
Asset: Nasdaq 100 (NQ, MNQ) or similar high-volatility indices.
Setup: * Enable Session Filters to avoid news volatility.
Adjust TP/SL in Points (1 Point = 4 Ticks) to suit your specific risk appetite.
Watch for the "Armados" labels—these indicate the system is ready and waiting for the Golden/Silver entry.
Visual Interface
Dynamic Boxes: Real-time visual representation of your TP1, TP2, and SL levels.
Activation Labels: Clear indications of when a Long or Short setup has been "Armed" in memory.
Status Dashboard: A clean top-right table showing current ADX values, Session status, and Risk settings.
Disclaimer
Trading involves significant risk. This strategy is a tool for decision support and backtesting. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Always test on a demo account before risking live capital.
Weekly Levels: High/Low/Mid/POCThis is a simple indicator that plots each week (up to 4 weeks) with the high,low, mid point and a customizable POC. Weeks can be toggled on and off and it has a developing level for the current week.
I find these levels valuable in day trading and thought automating them would be ideal.
PAE - Price Action Essential**PAE - Price Action Essential** indicator.
This system is engineered to provide high-fidelity market structure readings, blending moving average harmony with algorithmic volume analysis at critical turning points.
---
## 1. Indicator Philosophy
**PAE** operates under the **"Signal over Noise"** principle. Its goal is to declutter the chart of visual distractions, highlighting only the areas where true confluence exists between price action and institutional effort (volume).
---
## 2. Moving Average Dynamics & Action Zone
The system utilizes a hierarchy of four moving averages to segment market flow:
### A. The Action Zone (Short-Term)
This is generated via a dynamic shading between the **Fast MA (9)** and the **Base MA (20)**.
* **Configuration:** Allows the user to select the calculation type (EMA, SMA, WMA, HMA) for both averages simultaneously.
* **Fast MA Colors:**
* `#a5d6a7` (Soft Green) during ascending values.
* `#faa1a4` (Soft Red) during descending values.
* **Purpose:** The shaded area acts as a "value band." Pullbacks into this zone during defined trends often offer the highest probability entry opportunities.
### B. Structural MAs (Mid & Long-Term)
These averages are fixed to **SMA** type to maintain stability in trend analysis:
* **Medium SMA (40):** Uses vibrant colors (**#3179f5** Blue / **#ffee58** Yellow) to clearly mark the primary direction of the current swing.
* **Slow SMA (200):** Uses pastel tones (**#90bff9** / **#fff9c4**) and a dotted style to define the long-term institutional bias.
---
## 3. Pivot Analysis with Smart Volume
**PAE** identifies fractals (Highs and Lows) and automatically classifies them based on their **Relative Volume** compared to the previous 20 candles.
### Visual Classification by Color
To ensure rapid interpretation, labels are set to **Tiny** size, with color serving as the primary data indicator:
| Pivot Type | Color | Volume Condition | Interpretation |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| **Strength (MAX)** | `#ff001e` (Bright Red) | `> 160%` of Avg | High-conviction resistance. |
| **Strength (MIN)** | `#0fa600` (Bright Green) | `> 160%` of Avg | High-conviction support. |
| **Base (MAX)** | `#f1adad` (Soft Rose) | Between `30%` - `160%` | Standard market structure. |
| **Base (MIN)** | `#bee7c0` (Soft Mint) | Between `30%` - `160%` | Standard market structure. |
| **Noise** | `#ffffff` (White 67% Transp.) | `< 30%` of Avg | Weak pivots or lack of interest. |
---
## 4. Contextual Information (Tooltips)
Every Pivot label is interactive. By hovering the cursor over the triangles, the trader obtains precise data:
* **Price:** Indicates the exact **Closing** value of the candle that triggered the pivot (MAX or Min).
* **Vol:** Displays the exact percentage of relative volume. For example, a value of **200%** confirms that the candle had double the average volume, validating the strength of that support or resistance level.
---
## 5. Recommended Configuration Parameters
* **Left/Right Bars (3):** The ideal balance between early detection and swing confirmation.
* **Strength Factor (1.60):** Filters for movements backed by professional intent.
* **Noise Factor (0.30):** Identifies exhaustion or lack of participation.
---
### Operational Summary
The **PAE** helps traders stop guessing. If the price reaches the **Action Zone** (shading) and coincides with a **Strength Pivot** (bright color), the probability of a reaction in favor of the trend is significantly high. It is a precision tool designed for traders seeking absolute clarity in their decision-making process.
deKoder | Whale Prints [WP]deKoder | Whale Prints | Large Trade Orderflow Detection
This open-source indicator is a clean, precision tool for revealing hidden large-volume activity directly on your chart. By scanning ultra-low timeframes while you view higher ones, it projects statistically significant volume spikes as intuitive markers giving you a clear window into institutional orderflow without visually overwhelming the price action.
Key Features & Strengths
True Intra-Bar Detection | Monitors lower timeframes down to 1-second bars, catching aggressive block trades and absorption that occur within a single higher-TF candle.
Accurate Trade Levels | Markers are placed at the actual hl2 price of the aggressive lower-TF bar, providing a far more accurate estimate of where the large trade executed than typical mid-candle approximations.
Multiple Trades Per Bar | If several significant volume spikes occur inside one higher-TF candle, all qualifying levels are displayed individually – offering greater granularity and context.
Adaptive Thresholding | Uses higher-TF volume standard deviation (stable baseline) intelligently scaled to the lower timeframe, reducing noise in quiet markets while remaining sensitive to genuine outliers.
Clean Visual Hierarchy | Three tiers (Small 🞉 / Medium ⏣ / Large 🞊) with dynamic symbol size, line thickness, transparency, and user-definable bullish/bearish coloring based on LTF candle direction.
How to Use It as an Orderflow Tool
Large volume spikes often mark the footprints of institutional players. This indicator helps you read those footprints in real time.
Small (🞉) | Moderate excess volume: early interest, probing, or building positions.
Medium (⏣) | Strong spike: increasing conviction, potential momentum shift.
Large (🞊) | Extreme outlier: frequently climactic volume signalling exhaustion or major absorption.
Why Price Often Reverses at These Levels
Large players frequently place limit orders in areas rich with liquidity – commonly just beyond recent highs/lows where retail stop-losses cluster. When price sweeps those zones:
Stop hunts trigger a cascade of forced exits, creating liquidity for larger participants to fill their limit orders.
Breakout traders who entered on the move are trapped offside and become forced buyers/sellers when price reverses.
Institutions use this liquidity to execute large orders at favorable prices with minimal immediate market impact.
The result is aggressive volume at the extreme, followed by reversal as smart money finishes filling and price returns toward fair value. Clusters of medium/large markers at swing points are classic signs of this dynamic.
Practical Analysis Tips
Reversals/Absorption | Clusters of large markers at swing highs/lows (especially opposing-color spikes) signal potential turns – buyers or sellers stepping in aggressively.
Level Defense | Trades piling up at key support/resistance suggest institutions protecting or building positions.
Trapped Traders | Large spikes beyond range pivots followed by reversal back into the range often highlight trapped breakout traders who add fuel to a move when they are forced to liquidate their positions.
Use Offset (-3 to +3) to shift markers away from current price for clearer viewing.
Pro tip: Zoom into the lower TF occasionally to see how these projected levels align exactly with aggressive candles.
Recommended Pairings
This is designed as a pure orderflow overlay to be layered with your existing setup:
Support & Resistance (horizontals, pivots, Volume Profile POC/VAH/VAL)
Market Structure tools (swing points, order blocks, fair value gaps)
Trend filters (EMAs, SuperTrend, higher-TF bias)
Momentum oscillators for timing confluence
Best Suited For
Scalping & day trading (1–15 min charts with 5–30S lower TF)
Swing trading entries (1H–4H charts with 1–5 min lower TF)
High-liquidity markets: crypto perpetuals, forex majors, volatile stocks
Add this indicator to start seeing the hidden aggression driving price and expose the hidden edges beyond the noise.

Quarter Point Autopilot v2.0.0Hello traders,
I am pleased to release the Quarter Point Autopilot . This is a specialized structural framework designed to impose mathematical order on price action by synthesizing major market cycles with fractal geometric subdivisions.
Defining accurate Support and Resistance often presents a dilemma: rely on subjective, manually drawn lines that vary from trader to trader, or clutter charts with lagging moving averages. The Quarter Point Autopilot solves this by quantifying "Algorithmic Geometry." It eliminates subjectivity by projecting a universal grid based on the mathematical quarter-points that institutional algorithms utilize to execute orders.
📐 The Concept: Algorithmic Geometry
To the untrained eye, price movement can appear chaotic or random. However, professional analysis reveals that markets move in measured "Steps." Large institutions do not place orders at random numbers; they utilize specific mathematical fractions of a Major Cycle to manage liquidity.
This indicator is specifically engineered to visualize this hidden framework. By defining a "Major Cycle" (Point A and Point B), the script calculates the entire universe of the chart. It mathematically subdivides the range into Halves, Quarters, Eighths, and Sixteenths, highlighting the precise levels where price creates "Structure" and where algorithmic reactions are most likely to occur.
⚙️ The Autopilot Logic: Infinite Scroll
In previous iterations of quarter-theory tools, traders were forced to manually redraw grids as price expanded into new territories.
This version introduces the "Autopilot" engine ( current_base logic ). The script dynamically detects which "Block" price is currently trading within and automatically projects the grid forward and backward in real-time. Whether price rallies 1,000 points or drops 500, the mathematical subdivisions snap to the correct integer block immediately, ensuring you never trade without context.
📊 Fractal Hierarchy
Not all levels are created equal. The indicator uses a visual hierarchy to help you distinguish the strength of a level at a glance:
Major Cycle: The "Hard Deck" boundaries of the range (0% / 100%).
Half-Major: The Equilibrium of the cycle (50%).
Large Quarters: The standard deviation points (25% / 75%).
Mid & Small Quarters: The granular detail (Eighths and Sixteenths) for precision entries.
User Guide:
Simply input two "Major Cycle Points" (a significant High and Low) in the settings. The script calculates the "Step Size" and handles the rest, projecting the grid relative to current price action.
Settings Include:
Calculation Group: Set your Point A and Point B to define the grid size.
Visual Group: Toggle the upper/lower buffers and customize the lookback/lookforward lengths to keep your chart clean.
Label Group: Choose to see Level Names, Prices, or both.
Quantum Reversal Detector [JOAT]
Quantum Reversal Detector - Multi-Factor Reversal Probability Analysis
Introduction and Purpose
Quantum Reversal Detector is an open-source overlay indicator that combines multiple reversal detection methods into a unified probability-based framework. The core problem this indicator addresses is the unreliability of single-factor reversal signals. A price touching support means nothing without momentum confirmation; an RSI oversold reading means nothing without price structure context.
This indicator solves that by requiring multiple independent factors to align before generating reversal signals, then expressing the result as a probability score rather than a binary signal.
Why These Components Work Together
The indicator combines five analytical approaches, each addressing a different aspect of reversal detection:
1. RSI Extremes - Identifies momentum exhaustion (overbought/oversold)
2. MACD Crossovers - Confirms momentum direction change
3. Support/Resistance Proximity - Ensures price is at a significant level
4. Multi-Depth Momentum - Analyzes momentum across multiple timeframes
5. Statistical Probability - Quantifies reversal likelihood using Bayesian updating
These components are not randomly combined. Each filter catches reversals that others miss:
RSI catches momentum exhaustion but misses structural reversals
MACD catches momentum shifts but lags price action
S/R proximity catches structural levels but ignores momentum
Multi-depth momentum catches divergences across timeframes
Probability scoring combines all factors into actionable confidence levels
How the Detection System Works
Step 1: Pattern Detection
The indicator first identifies potential reversal conditions:
// Check if price is at support/resistance
float lowestLow = ta.lowest(low, period)
float highestHigh = ta.highest(high, period)
bool atSupport = low <= lowestLow * 1.002
bool atResistance = high >= highestHigh * 0.998
// Check RSI conditions
float rsi = ta.rsi(close, 14)
bool oversold = rsi < 30
bool overbought = rsi > 70
// Check MACD crossover
float macd = ta.ema(close, 12) - ta.ema(close, 26)
float signal = ta.ema(macd, 9)
bool macdBullish = ta.crossover(macd, signal)
bool macdBearish = ta.crossunder(macd, signal)
// Combine for reversal detection
if atSupport and oversold and macdBullish
bullishReversal := true
Step 2: Multi-Depth Momentum Analysis
The indicator calculates momentum across multiple periods to detect divergences:
calculateQuantumMomentum(series float price, simple int period, simple int depth) =>
float totalMomentum = 0.0
for i = 0 to depth - 1
int currentPeriod = period * (i + 1)
float momentum = ta.roc(price, currentPeriod)
totalMomentum += momentum
totalMomentum / depth
This creates a composite momentum reading that smooths out noise while preserving genuine momentum shifts.
Step 3: Bayesian Probability Calculation
The indicator uses Bayesian updating to calculate reversal probability:
bayesianProbability(series float priorProb, series float likelihood, series float evidence) =>
float posterior = evidence > 0 ? (likelihood * priorProb) / evidence : priorProb
math.min(math.max(posterior, 0.0), 1.0)
The prior probability starts at 50% and updates based on:
RSI extreme readings increase likelihood
MACD crossovers increase likelihood
S/R proximity increases likelihood
Momentum divergence increases likelihood
Step 4: Confidence Intervals
Using Monte Carlo simulation concepts, the indicator estimates price distribution:
monteCarloSimulation(series float price, series float volatility, simple int iterations) =>
float sumPrice = 0.0
float sumSqDiff = 0.0
for i = 0 to iterations - 1
float randomFactor = (i % 10 - 5) / 10.0
float simulatedPrice = price + volatility * randomFactor
sumPrice += simulatedPrice
float avgPrice = sumPrice / iterations
// Calculate standard deviation for confidence intervals
This provides 95% and 99% confidence bands around the current price.
Signal Classification
Signals are classified by confirmation level:
Confirmed Reversal : Pattern detected for N consecutive bars (default 3)
High Probability : Confirmed + Bayesian probability > 70%
Ultra High Probability : High probability + PDF above average
Dashboard Information
The dashboard displays:
Bayesian Probability - Updated reversal probability (0-100%)
Quantum Momentum - Multi-depth momentum average
RSI - Current RSI value with overbought/oversold status
Volatility - Current ATR as percentage of price
Reversal Signal - BULLISH, BEARISH, or NONE
Divergence - Momentum divergence detection
MACD - Current MACD histogram value
S/R Zone - AT SUPPORT, AT RESISTANCE, or NEUTRAL
95% Confidence - Price range with 95% probability
Bull/Bear Targets - ATR-based reversal targets
Visual Elements
Quantum Bands - ATR-based upper and lower channels
Probability Field - Circle layers showing probability distribution
Confidence Bands - 95% and 99% confidence interval circles
Reversal Labels - REV markers at confirmed reversals
High Probability Markers - Star diamonds at high probability setups
Reversal Zones - Boxes around confirmed reversal areas
Divergence Markers - Triangles at momentum divergences
How to Use This Indicator
For Reversal Trading:
1. Wait for Bayesian Probability to exceed 70%
2. Confirm price is at S/R zone (dashboard shows AT SUPPORT or AT RESISTANCE)
3. Check that RSI is in extreme territory (oversold for longs, overbought for shorts)
4. Enter when REV label appears with high probability marker
For Risk Management:
1. Use the 95% confidence band as a stop-loss reference
2. Use Bull/Bear Targets for take-profit levels
3. Higher probability readings warrant larger position sizes
For Filtering False Signals:
1. Increase Confirmation Bars to require more consecutive signals
2. Only trade when probability exceeds 70%
3. Require divergence confirmation for highest conviction
Input Parameters
Reversal Period (21) - Lookback for S/R and momentum calculations

Limitations
Statistical concepts are simplified implementations for Pine Script
Monte Carlo uses deterministic pseudo-random factors, not true randomness
Bayesian probability uses simplified prior/likelihood model
Reversal detection does not guarantee actual reversals will occur
Confirmation bars add lag to signal generation

Volume-Confirmed Trend Thrust IndicatorOVERVIEW
This indicator combines trend strength, momentum & volume analysis to generate high-conviction buy and sell signals. It is based on the "Volume Confirmation for a Trend System" (VCTS) by Buff Pelz Dormeier (TASC August 2024), which I have taken the liberty of 'buffing up' (heh!) by swapping out original VPCI component with the ATR-aware Net Accumulation Flow (NAF) indicator derived from Markos Katsanos' VPN indicator (TASC April 2021).
The result is a system that only triggers buy signals when three independent conditions align:
• A strong trend exists (ADX)
• Momentum is bullish (TTI)
• Institutional accumulation is detected (NAF)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
COMPONENTS
█ ADX (Average Directional Index)
Measures trend strength regardless of direction. A reading above 30 indicates a strong trend worth trading. This filter prevents signals during choppy, sideways markets.
█ TTI (Trend Thrust Indicator)
Dormeier's volume-weighted MACD variant that provides momentum direction. Unlike standard MACD, TTI uses Volume-Weighted Moving Averages (VWMA) and applies a volume multiplier that amplifies signals when volume confirms price movement. When TTI crosses above its signal line, momentum is considered bullish.
█ NAF (Net Accumulation Flow)
The key enhancement - in my humble opinion - over the original VCTS. NAF classifies each bar's volume as:
• Accumulation: Price moved UP more than 10% of ATR
• Distribution: Price moved DOWN more than 10% of ATR
• Neutral: Price movement too small to be meaningful (filtered as noise)
NAF then calculates the net flow (Accumulation Volume - Distribution Volume) over a 30-bar lookback period, normalized and smoothed. This provides a cleaner read on whether institutions are accumulating or distributing.
Perceived benefits of NAF:
• ATR-based noise filtering eliminates false readings from small price movements
• Rolling 30-bar accumulation captures sustained institutional activity
• Empirically calibrated thresholds based on 717 stocks / 360,000 observations
• 3-period EMA smoothing reduces whipsaws
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SIGNAL LOGIC
🟢 BUY SIGNAL
All three conditions must be true simultaneously:
1. ADX > 30 (strong trend)
2. TTI > Signal Line (bullish momentum)
3. NAF > 16 (accumulation)
Signals fire on the first bar where all conditions align, preventing repeated signals during sustained bullish periods.
🔴 SELL SIGNAL
Exit when volume flow turns negative:
• NAF < -9 (below neutral zone, indicating distribution).
This indicator retains Dormeier's asymmetric approach (strict entry, quick exit) to help protect profits when institutional support fades.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
NAF THRESHOLD REFERENCE
Based on proprietary empirical calibration (717 stocks, 360K observations):
>= +35 │ Strong Accumulation (P95, ~5% of days)
>= +28 │ Solid Accumulation (P90, ~10% of days)
>= +16 │ Moderate Accumulation (P75) ← Default Buy Threshold
-9 to +16 │ Neutral Zone (~50% of days)
<= -9 │ Below Neutral ← Default Sell Threshold
<= -22 │ Solid Distribution (P10)
<= -29 │ Strong Distribution (P5)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SETTINGS
Setting for all 3 variables (ADX, TTI & NAF), alerts and visual conditional formatting are configurable.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
USAGE TIPS
1. Works best on daily timeframe for swing trading
2. More effective on liquid stocks where volume data is meaningful
3. Consider using NAF threshold of 28 (P90) for higher conviction entries
5. Combine with price action analysis (support/resistance, RS, chart patterns)

Breakout LevelsBreakout Levels - User Guide
Overview
The Breakout Levels indicator automatically detects and displays significant breakout candles across multiple timeframes. A breakout occurs when price makes a strong, decisive move - identified by candles with unusually large bodies relative to average volatility.
These breakout levels often act as future support/resistance zones, making them valuable reference points for trading decisions.
What is a Breakout?
A breakout is detected when a candle's body size (the distance between open and close) is significantly larger than normal. By default, the script looks for candles that are 2x the ATR (Average True Range) or larger.
Example:
If the 14-period ATR is $5, a candle with a $10+ body would qualify as a breakout
These represent strong, committed moves by the market
The script marks the high of bullish breakouts and the low of bearish breakouts
Settings Guide
Timeframes

How to Use This Indicator
1. Identify Key Breakout Zones
Breakout levels often become magnets where price returns later:
Former resistance (where price broke up) becomes future support
Former support (where price broke down) becomes future resistance
2. Look for Confluence
When multiple timeframe breakouts cluster near the same price:
15M + 1H + 4H breakouts all near $150 = strong level
More confluence = more significant level
3. Watch for Retests
After a breakout, price often returns to test that level:
Bullish breakout retest from above = potential long entry
Bearish breakout retest from below = potential short entry
4. Combine with Other Analysis
Use breakout levels alongside:
Your own support/resistance analysis
Volume profiles
Fibonacci levels
Candlestick patterns at these levels
Practical Examples
Example 1: Clean Breakout and Retest
Daily candle closes up with a huge body (2.5x ATR)
Green line drawn at the high of that candle
Price pulls back 3 days later and bounces exactly off that green line
Trade opportunity: Long entry at the retest with stop below
Example 2: Failed Breakout
4H bearish breakout draws a red line at the low
Price immediately reverses back above the level
Signal: The breakout was false - consider this a stop hunt zone
Example 3: Multi-Timeframe Confluence
Daily breakout at $100
4H breakout at $100.50
1H breakout at $99.80
Strong cluster zone: $99.80-$100.50 becomes a major decision point
Best Practices
DO:
✅ Start with default settings (2.0x ATR, default lookbacks)
✅ Use on a 15-minute chart to see all timeframes
✅ Look for price reactions at these levels before trading
✅ Combine with volume - breakouts with high volume are more reliable
✅ Turn off labels when chart gets too busy
DON'T:
❌ Treat every line as guaranteed support/resistance
❌ Set breakout multiplier too low (<1.5) - creates noise
❌ Ignore the context - check what's happening in the broader market
❌ Trade blindly at these levels without confirmation
Troubleshooting
"Too many lines on my chart"
Reduce the lookback settings
Turn off some timeframes (maybe just show Daily + 4H)
Increase the breakout multiplier to 2.5 or 3.0
"Not showing any levels"
Lower the breakout multiplier to 1.5
Increase lookback settings
Check that at least one timeframe toggle is ON
Verify the market had actual volatility during the period
"Labels are cluttering the chart"
Turn off "Show Labels" in settings
Lines will remain, labels disappear
Technical Notes
ATR Period: 14 (industry standard, not adjustable in this version)
Max Lines: 500 (Pine Script limitation)
Duplicate Filter: Levels within 0.3% of ATR are considered duplicates and filtered
Chart Type: Works on any chart timeframe, optimized for 15-minute
Asset Type: Works on stocks, forex, crypto, futures
Summary
The Breakout Levels indicator gives you a systematic way to identify where strong, committed market moves occurred. These levels often act as future decision points. Use them as reference zones to watch for price reactions, not as automatic trade signals.
Quick Start:
Add indicator to a 15-minute chart
Leave default settings (2.0x ATR)
Watch how price interacts with the levels over the next few days
Adjust sensitivity based on your observations
Happy trading! 📈
VRVP Clone + Multi-POC -- PerroGordoVRVP Clone + Multi-POC
Overview
VRVP Clone + Multi-POC replicates TradingView's native Visible Range Volume Profile with several practical enhancements. The indicator displays volume distribution across price levels for the visible chart range, which is useful for identifying high-volume nodes, support/resistance zones, and areas of price acceptance.
The main differentiator from the built-in VRVP is support for multiple Point of Control (POC) lines with an intelligent peak detection algorithm. Instead of just showing the single highest-volume level, you can identify distinct volume clusters across different price zones.
Features
Dynamic Visible Range
Recalculates automatically on scroll or zoom
Analyzes only visible bars
Profile width scales proportionally to view
Multiple POC Detection (1-8 levels)
Volume Nodes Mode: Peak detection algorithm finds local volume maxima across distinct price clusters
Highest Rows Mode: Traditional approach - top N rows by raw volume
Configurable minimum separation between nodes to prevent bunching
Individual colors for each POC level
Volume Display Modes
Up/Down: Split bars showing buy vs. sell volume with black outlines for visual separation
Total: Single bar colored by dominant direction
Delta: Net volume (buy minus sell)
Delta Intensity: Gradient coloring indicating buyer/seller dominance strength per row
Value Area
Configurable percentage (default 70%)
VAH and VAL lines with customizable styles
Separate colors for volume inside vs. outside the Value Area
Positioning Options
Left or Right placement
Adjustable profile width as percentage of visible range
Row configuration via "Number of Rows" or "Ticks Per Row"
Additional Features
Statistics table showing bars analyzed, total volume, up/down percentages, price vs POC
POC price labels on chart
Line style options (Solid, Dashed, Dotted)
+++++
How It Works
Volume from each bar is distributed across price rows based on the bar's high-low range. The allocation is proportional - if a bar spans 3 rows with 60% overlap on one row, that row receives 60% of the bar's volume.
Volume Nodes Mode identifies local peaks in the distribution (rows where volume exceeds both neighbors), then selects the highest peaks while enforcing minimum separation. This surfaces distinct support/resistance clusters rather than stacking all POC lines in a single high-volume area.

+++++
Applications
Support/Resistance Identification
High-volume nodes tend to act as price magnets. Multiple POCs reveal layered S/R zones that aren't visible with a single POC.
Fair Value Reference
The Value Area represents where 70% of volume traded. Price tends to revert to this zone.
Volume Gap Analysis
Low-volume areas between POCs indicate prices that were rejected quickly - potential breakout or breakdown levels.
Market Structure
Multiple POCs across price levels show where the market has found acceptance, useful for distinguishing range-bound conditions from trending moves.
+++++
Practical Notes
Volume Nodes mode with 3-5 POCs works well for identifying distinct S/R clusters
Higher row counts give more granular analysis on lower timeframes
Delta Intensity mode quickly shows buyer/seller dominance at each level without the visual noise of split bars
If POCs are too clustered, increase Min Node Separation; if too spread out, decrease it or set to 0 for auto
The stats table vs POC comparison is useful for quick directional bias assessment
+++++
Requirements
Any instrument with volume data
Works well on futures, forex, and liquid equities

ICT Big Round Numbers (00, 20, 50, 80)This indicator plots "Big Round Numbers", a term for "psychological" or "institutional" forex price levels that occur at 00, 20, 50, & 80 levels in FX markets. The concept is from the work of Michael J. Huddleston aka The Inner Circle Trader ( ICT ). www.youtube.com
Previous HLC Single ChoiceThis indicator allows traders to visualize the High, Low, and Close (HLC) levels of a previous timeframe directly on their current chart. By plotting these key levels from a higher timeframe, traders can identify significant support and resistance zones, potential breakout levels, and the overall market context without needing to switch back and forth between different chart intervals.
How it Works
The script utilizes the request.security() function to fetch the High, Low, and Close data from the previous completed bar of a user-selected timeframe.
Unlike static multi-timeframe indicators that might clutter the chart with too many lines, this script is designed for simplicity and flexibility. It uses the input.timeframe functionality, allowing you to select any standard or custom timeframe available on TradingView (e.g., 4-hour, Daily, Weekly, 3-Month, 12-Month) via a simple dropdown menu.
Once a timeframe is selected, the indicator plots three distinct lines:
Green Line: The High of the previous timeframe.
Red Line: The Low of the previous timeframe.
Orange Line: The Close of the previous timeframe.
Usage Examples
These levels often act as dynamic support and resistance.
Breakouts: A move above the previous timeframe's High can signal bullish strength.
Breakdowns: A drop below the previous timeframe's Low can signal bearish weakness.
Ranges: The space between the High and Low often defines the trading range for the current session.

First Opening Price of the YearOverview
This indicator identifies and plots the opening price of the first trading session of the calendar year. The "Yearly Open" is a significant psychological level for traders and institutions, often serving as a major pivot point for the entire year's trend.
How it Works
The script utilizes Pine Script v5's persistent variables to track the year change.
Detection: It compares the current bar's year (year) with the previous bar's year (year ).
Storage: When a discrepancy is found (indicating a new year has started), the script captures the open price of that specific bar.
Persistence: Using the var keyword, this price is stored in memory and carried forward for every subsequent bar of the year without being recalculated.
Visualization: The price is plotted as a series of blue crosses (style_cross) to clearly mark the level on the chart.
Chart Analysis & Examples
The following examples demonstrate how this simple level dictates market structure across different assets:
Historical Pivot Points (S&P 500):
This chart demonstrates how the Yearly Open acts as a critical pivot. Notice in 2022 how price struggled around the open before dropping, while in 2023 and 2024, the yearly open provided a solid base for the subsequent rallies.
Trend Confirmation (Bitcoin):
In strong trending markets, the Yearly Open serves as a trailing support. As seen in this Bitcoin example, price maintaining its position above the blue line confirms a sustained bullish bias for the year, acting as a "floor" for the trend.
Market Structure & Bias (Gold):
This example highlights the "Line in the Sand" concept. The indicator clearly marks the starting point of the year, allowing traders to instantly gauge if the asset is net positive or negative year-to-date. It filters out the noise and focuses on the macro direction.
How to Use
Traders can use this indicator to determine the higher-timeframe bias:
Bullish Bias: When the current price is trading above the blue crosses, the market is considered to be positive relative to the start of the year.
Bearish Bias: When the current price is trading below the blue crosses, the market is negative relative to the start of the year.
Settings
This script is "plug and play" and requires no manual input adjustments. It automatically detects the timeframe and year changes based on the chart data provided.

Swing Failure Signals [AlgoAlpha]🟠 OVERVIEW
This script detects swing failure patterns by tracking how price interacts with recent swing highs and lows, then confirming those sweeps with a change in candle behavior. The goal is to highlight areas where price briefly breaks a key level, fails to continue, and then shifts direction. These events often occur around liquidity runs, where stops are triggered before price reverses. The script draws levels, colors bars, and prints clear markers to help visualize where these failures occur and when they are confirmed.
🟠 CONCEPTS
The logic starts with pivot-based swing detection. Recent swing highs and lows are stored and monitored. When price trades beyond one of these levels within a defined historical window, it is treated as a sweep. A sweep alone is not enough. The script then waits for a Change in State of Delivery (CISD), which is defined by a shift in candle structure that shows follow-through in the opposite direction. A tolerance filter measures how far price traveled beyond the level relative to the reaction that followed. If the reaction is strong enough and happens within a limited number of bars, the sweep is validated as a swing failure. In short: the swing defines the reference, the sweep shows intent, and the CISD confirms acceptance or rejection.
🟠 FEATURES
Sweep detection with a maximum lookback to avoid outdated levels
CISD confirmation using candle structure and price expansion
Alert conditions for bullish and bearish swing failures
🟠 USAGE
Setup : Add the script to your chart. It works on any market and timeframe. Lower timeframes highlight intraday liquidity runs, while higher timeframes show structural failures. Start with the default inputs before adjusting.
Read the chart : A bullish swing failure occurs when price sweeps a prior low, then reverses and confirms with a bullish CISD. A bearish swing failure is the opposite, sweeping a prior high and confirming with a bearish CISD. Dashed lines mark the swept swing. Solid lines mark the CISD level. Bars are colored while the SFP state is active.
Settings that matter : Increasing Pivot Detection Length finds more significant swings but fewer signals. Reducing Max Pivot Point Edge limits how far back sweeps are allowed, keeping signals more current. The Patience setting controls how many bars are allowed for confirmation after a sweep. The Trend Noise Filter raises or lowers how strong the reaction must be to qualify as a valid failure.
ORB W/ Custom time FramesRelease Notes: Simplified ORB (Opening Range Breakout)
This indicator is a streamlined, high-performance tool designed to identify the Opening Range—one of the most widely used concepts by professional floor traders and institutional scalpers. It marks the high, low, and midpoint of the initial balance of the market, providing you with a "map" for the rest of the trading session.
Key Features
Customizable Timeframes: Define your opening range window (e.g., the first 5, 15, or 30 minutes) regardless of what timeframe you are currently viewing.
Custom Session Support: Choose between standard market hours (09:30–16:00) or define your own custom window (e.g., the London Open or the first hour of "Power Hour").
Real-Time Midpoint Calculation: Automatically plots the 50% Equilibrium level between the high and low, serving as a pivot point for intraday bias.
Dynamic Updating: During the ORB window, the lines adjust in real-time as new highs or lows are set. Once the window expires, the levels lock in place to act as support and resistance.
Clean Visuals: Utilizes a lightweight line drawing system that is easy on your GPU and keeps the chart clutter-free.
Why This is Essential for Scalping
Scalpers rely on volatility and clear "lines in the sand." The Opening Range Breakout (ORB) provides exactly that:
The "Opening Drive": If price breaks the ORB High with high volume, scalpers look for quick "long" momentum plays. Conversely, a break below the ORB Low signals a bearish trend.
The Midpoint Pivot: The 50% level (Mid) is often treated as the "Fair Value" of the morning. If price is above the mid, the bias is bullish; if below, the bias is bearish.
Stop Loss / Take Profit Anchor: The ORB High and Low act as natural areas for placing stops or targets. A failed breakout that returns inside the range often targets the opposite side of the box.
NY Opening Range [LuckyAlgo]
This custom ORM (Opening Range Move) indicator is designed as a tool for traders who focus not just on where a range is, but on the magnitude of the expansion following the initial morning volatility.
Here is a summary of the indicator and how it differentiates itself from standard Opening Range Breakout (ORB) tools.
Indicator Summary
The script captures the high and low of the market during the first 30 minutes of the NY session (09:30–10:00 AM EST). Once this range is set, it tracks the "Expansion Move" - the point distance from the range's boundary to the current session's high or low. It visualizes this through color-coded zones, dynamic labels at the session extremes, and a statistical table that benchmarks today's volatility against the recent past.
What specific questions does this indicator answer?
While most indicators tell you "the range is broken," this indicator answers quantitative questions vital for trade management:
1. "How far has the market stretched relative to the breakout?"
The indicator provides the exact point distance (+/-) from the range high/low. This helps you determine if the move is just beginning or if it has already extended significantly.
2. "Is the current move 'normal' or an outlier?"
By using the Stats Table, you can see if the current 40-point move on NQ is typical or if the average move over the last 10 days is actually 80 points. This prevents you from "fading" a move that still has average room to grow, or taking a "pro-trend" trade when the market is already exhausted.
3. "Where is the session extreme located?"
The inclusion of the dashed High of Day (HOD) and Low of Day (LOD) lines with attached labels tells you exactly where the "Move" calculation is peaking. If the HOD line hasn't moved for two hours, you know the bullish expansion has stalled.
4. "When is the data no longer relevant?"
Because of the 17:00 EST reset logic, the indicator answers the "end of day" question for futures traders. It stops measuring at the settlement/close of the electronic session, ensuring your charts are clean for the overnight (Globex) session or ready for the next morning.
Technical Advantage
Most scripts use a single "point in time" to reset. This script uses a Trading Window logic, which is much more robust. If a bar is missing at exactly 17:00 due to low volume or a data glitch, the indicator won't "break" or keep drawing old lines - it understands the entire window of time it is allowed to exist in.

HTF Pivots SignalsIntroduction :
HPS (HTF Pivot Signals) provides traders with a systematic approach to Higher Timeframe structure analysis and signal confirmation. Designed for traders seeking to identify confirmed structure changes, this indicator detects HTF pivot interactions and generates entry signals when price confirms beyond chart timeframe pivot levels. The indicator helps analysts identify key structure breaks, momentum shifts, and high-probability entry points based on confirmed pivot interactions.
Description :
HPS is rooted in the principle that Higher Timeframe structure changes provide context for lower timeframe price action. When an HTF pivot is interacted with (mitigated), it signals a potential opportunity for a mean reversal. The indicator then waits for confirmation on the chart timeframe before generating a signal, ensuring only confirmed setups are highlighted.
Main indicator screenshot showing HTF pivots and confirmation signals
The system operates by detecting pivot highs and lows on a higher timeframe, tracking when these pivots are interacted with, and confirming signals when price closes beyond chart timeframe pivot levels. This two-step process—interaction followed by confirmation—filters out false signals and provides only actionable setups.
HPS automatically calculates the optimal higher timeframe pairing (typically 15-16x the chart timeframe) or allows manual selection. The indicator remains stable and non-repainting, offering traders reliable, unchanged levels within the given time period. Pivot cleanup is managed by mitigation order rather than age, ensuring the most recent interactions remain visible while older ones are removed systematically.
Key Features:
Automatic HTF Selection: The indicator automatically calculates the optimal higher timeframe pairing based on your chart timeframe, typically using 15-16x multiples (e.g., 5m → 1h, 15m → 4h, 1h → 1D). For a more dynamic experience, the Automatic feature autonomously adjusts the higher timeframe pairing based on the current chart timeframe, ensuring accurate alignment with structure analysis. Manual override is available for custom timeframe selection.
Confirmed Pivot Detection: HPS only displays confirmed HTF pivots that have been interacted with. Unlike basic pivot indicators that show all pivots, HPS requires pivot interaction before displaying, eliminating noise and focusing on actionable structure changes. Pivots are marked with PH (Pivot High) and PL (Pivot Low) labels when enabled.
Signal Confirmation System: When an HTF pivot is interacted with, a pending signal is created signaling a potential mean reversal opportunity. The signal confirms when price closes beyond the chart timeframe pivot level—pivot low for bearish signals, pivot high for bullish signals. Confirmed signals display with OB+ (bullish) or OB- (bearish) labels and extending confirmation lines that mark the entry level.
Mitigation-Based Cleanup: Pivot cleanup is managed by mitigation order rather than age. The system maintains the latest mitigated pivots while removing older ones based on interaction time. This ensures recent interactions remain visible while preventing chart clutter. The maximum number of mitigated pivots displayed is configurable based on the max pivots setting.
Customizable Display: Full control over visual elements including pivot highs/lows visibility, pivot labels (PH/PL), confirmation lines, colors, and line width. Confirmation line labels (OB+/OB-) always display regardless of label toggle settings, ensuring signal visibility. Adjust the maximum number of pivots displayed to match your charting style and analysis needs.
Stop Level Calculation: Automatically calculates stop levels based on the maximum price (for bearish signals) or minimum price (for bullish signals) from signal creation to confirmation. These levels represent the risk point for each confirmed signal, providing clear risk management reference points.
Stop level calculation visualization
Multi-Timeframe Compatibility: Works across all TradingView timeframes and market types including Forex, Crypto, Stocks, and Futures. The automatic HTF selection adapts to any chart timeframe, providing consistent structure analysis regardless of the trading instrument or timeframe selected.
Multi-timeframe compatibility example
Usage Guidance :
Add HPS (HTF Pivot Signals) to your TradingView chart.
Select your preferred HTF pairing (Automatic or Manual) and adjust display settings to match your visual preferences.
Monitor for HTF pivot interactions—when price mitigates an HTF pivot, a pending signal is created signaling a potential mean reversal opportunity. Wait for confirmation when price closes beyond the chart timeframe pivot level, indicated by OB+ or OB- labels.
Use the confirmation lines and stop levels to identify entry points and manage risk. Combine with your existing analysis methods to enhance structure-based trading decisions.
