Fibonacci Projection with Volume & Delta Profile (Zeiierman)█ Overview
Fibonacci Projection with Volume & Delta Profile (Zeiierman) blends classic Fibonacci swing analysis with modern volume-flow reading to create a unified, projection-based market framework. The indicator automatically detects the latest swing high and swing low, builds a complete Fibonacci structure, and then projects future extension targets with clear visual pathways.
What makes this tool unique is the integration of two volume-based systems directly into the Fibonacci structure. A Fib-aligned Volume Profile shows how bullish and bearish volume accumulated inside the swing range, while a separate Delta Profile reveals the imbalance of buy–sell pressure inside each Fibonacci interval. Together, these elements transform the standard Fibonacci tool into a multi-dimensional structural and volume-flow map.
█ How It Works
The indicator first detects the most recent swing high and swing low using the Period setting. That swing defines the Fibonacci range, from which the script draws retracement levels (0.236–0.786) and builds a forward projection path using the chosen Projection Level and a 1.272 extension.
Along this path, it draws projection lines, target boxes, and percentage labels that show how far each projected leg extends relative to the previous one.
Inside the same swing range, the script builds a Fib-based Volume Profile by splitting price into rows and assigning each bar’s volume as bullish (close > open) or bearish (close ≤ open). On top of that, it calculates a Volume Delta Profile between each pair of fib levels, showing whether buyers or sellers dominated that band and how strong that imbalance was.
█ How to Use
This tool helps traders quickly understand market structure and where the price may be heading next. The projection engine shows the most likely future targets, highlights strong or weak legs in the move, and updates automatically whenever a new swing forms. This ensures you always see the most relevant and up-to-date projection path.
The Fib Volume Profile shows where volume supported the move and where it did not. Thick bullish buckets reveal zones where buyers stepped in aggressively, often becoming retestable support. Thick bearish buckets highlight zones of resistance or rejection, particularly useful if projected levels align with prior liquidity.
The Delta Profile adds a second dimension to volume reading by showing where buy–sell pressure was truly imbalanced. A projected Fibonacci target that aligns with a strong bullish delta, for example, may suggest continuation. A projection into a band dominated by bearish delta may warn of reversal or hesitation.

EMA Market Structure [BOSWaves]EMA Market Structure - Trend-Driven Structural Mapping with Adaptive Swing Detection
Overview
The EMA Market Structure indicator provides an advanced framework for visualizing market structure through dynamically filtered trend and swing analysis.
Unlike conventional EMA overlays, which merely indicate average price direction, this model integrates trend acceleration, swing highs/lows, and break-of-structure (BOS) logic into a unified, visually intuitive display.
Each element adapts in real time to price movement, offering traders a living map of support, resistance, and trend bias that reacts fluidly to market momentum.
The result is a comprehensive, trend-aware representation of price structure.
EMA slope and acceleration guide trend perception, while swing points identify key inflection zones.
Breaks of prior highs or lows are highlighted with visual BOS labels and stop-loss projections, giving traders actionable context for continuation or reversal setups.
Unlike static lines or simple moving averages, the EMA Market Structure indicator fuses dynamic trend analysis with structural awareness to provide a clear picture of market bias and potential turning points.
Theoretical Foundation
The EMA Market Structure builds on principles of momentum filtering and structural analysis.
Standard moving averages track average price but ignore acceleration and context; this indicator captures both the directional slope of the EMA and its rate of change, providing a proxy for trend strength.
Simultaneously, swing detection identifies statistically significant highs and lows, while BOS logic flags decisive breaks in structure, aligned with trend direction.
At its core are three interacting components:
EMA Trend & Acceleration : Smooths price data while highlighting acceleration changes, producing gradient-driven color cues for trend momentum.
Swing Detection Engine : Identifies swing highs and lows over configurable bar lengths, ensuring key turning points are captured with minimal clutter.
Break-of-Structure Logic : Detects price breaches of previous swings and aligns them with EMA trend for actionable BOS signals, including projected stop-loss levels for tactical decision-making.
By integrating these elements, the system scales effectively across timeframes and assets, maintaining structural clarity while visualizing trend dynamics in real time. Traders receive both macro and micro perspectives of market movement, with clear cues for trend continuation or reversal.
How It Works
The EMA Market Structure indicator operates through layered processing stages:
EMA Slope & Acceleration : Calculates the EMA and its rate of change, normalizing via ATR and a smoothing function to produce gradient color coding. This allows instant visual identification of bullish or bearish momentum.
Swing Identification : Swing highs and lows are computed using configurable left/right bar lengths, filtered through a cool-off mechanism to prevent redundant signals and maintain chart clarity.
Structural Lines & Zones : Swing points are connected with lines, and shaded zones are drawn between successive highs/lows to highlight key support and resistance regions.
Break-of-Structure Detection : BOS events occur when price breaches a prior swing in alignment with the EMA trend. Bullish and bearish BOS signals include enhanced label effects and projected stop-loss lines and zones, providing immediate tactical reference.
Dynamic Background Mapping : The chart background adapts to EMA trend direction, reinforcing trend context with subtle visual cues.
Through these processes, the indicator creates a living, adaptive map of market structure that reflects both trend strength and swing-based inflection points.
Interpretation
The EMA Market Structure reframes market reading from simple trend following to structured awareness of price behavior:
Uptrend Phases : EMA is rising with positive acceleration, swings confirm higher lows, and BOS events occur above prior highs, signaling trend continuation.
Downtrend Phases : EMA slope is negative, swings form lower highs, and BOS events occur below prior lows, confirming bearish bias.
Trend Reversals : Flat or decelerating EMA with BOS failures may indicate impending structural change.
Critical Zones : Swing-based lines and shaded zones highlight areas where price may pause, reverse, or accelerate, providing high-probability decision points.
Visually, EMA color gradients, structural lines, and BOS labels combine to provide both statistical trend confirmation and actionable structural cues.
Strategy Integration
EMA Market Structure integrates seamlessly into trend-following and swing-based trading systems:
Trend Alignment : Confirm higher-timeframe EMA slope before entering continuation trades.
BOS Entry Triggers : Use BOS events aligned with EMA trend for tactical entries and stop placement.
Support/Resistance Mapping : Swing lines and zones help define areas for scaling, exits, or reversals.
Volatility Context : ATR-based smoothing and stop-loss buffers accommodate varying market volatility, ensuring robustness across conditions.
Multi-Timeframe Coordination : Combine higher-timeframe EMA trend and swings with lower-timeframe structural events for precision entries.
Technical Implementation Details
Core Engine : EMA slope and ATR-normalized acceleration for gradient-driven trend visualization.
Swing Framework : Pivot-based high/low detection with configurable bar lengths and cool-off intervals.
Structural Visualization : Lines, zones, and labels for high-fidelity mapping of support/resistance and BOS events.
BOS Engine : Detects structural breaks aligned with EMA trend, automatically plotting stop-loss lines and visual cues.
Performance Profile : Lightweight, optimized for real-time responsiveness across multiple timeframes.
Optimal Application Parameters
Timeframe Guidance:
1 - 5 min : Ideal for intraday swing spotting and microstructure trend tracking.
15 - 60 min : Medium-range structural analysis and BOS-driven entries.
4H - Daily : Macro trend mapping and key swing-based support/resistance identification.
Suggested Configuration:
EMA Length : 50
Swing Length : 5
Swing Cooloff : 10 bars
BOS Cooloff : 15 bars
SL Buffer : 0.1%
These suggested parameters should be used as a baseline; their effectiveness depends on the asset volatility, liquidity, and preferred entry frequency, so fine-tuning is expected for optimal performance.
Performance Characteristics
High Effectiveness:
Trending markets with defined swings and structural consistency.
Markets where EMA slope and acceleration reliably indicate momentum changes.
Reduced Effectiveness:
Choppy or sideways markets with minimal swing definition.
Random walk assets lacking clear structural anchors.
Integration Guidelines
Confluence Framework : Combine with volume, momentum, or BOSWaves structural indicators
to validate entries.
Directional Control: Follow EMA slope and BOS alignment for high-conviction trades.
Risk Calibration: Use SL projections for disciplined exposure management.
Multi-Timeframe Synergy: Confirm higher-timeframe trend before executing lower-timeframe structural trades.
Disclaimer
The EMA Market Structure is a professional-grade trend and structure visualization tool. It is not predictive or guaranteed profitable; performance depends on parameter tuning, market regime, and disciplined execution. BOSWaves recommends using it as part of a comprehensive analytical stack integrating trend, liquidity, and structural context.
Dark VectorThe Dark Vector is a professional-grade trend-following system designed to solve the two most common causes of trading losses: over-trading during chop and exiting trends too early.
Unlike standard indicators that continuously recalculate based on every price tick, this system operates on a strict "State Machine" logic. This means it tracks the current market phase and refuses to issue conflicting signals. If the system is Long, it mathematically cannot issue another Long signal until the previous trend has concluded.
The system relies on three core engines:
1. The Trend Architecture (Modified SuperTrend) The backbone of the system is an ATR-based trailing stop mechanism. It creates a dynamic trend line that adjusts to volatility. When volatility expands, the line widens to prevent premature stop-outs during market noise. When volatility contracts, the line tightens to protect profits.
2. The Noise Gate (Choppiness Index) This is the system's safety filter. It measures the fractal efficiency of the market—essentially determining if price is moving in a clear direction or moving sideways. When the market enters a consolidation phase (sideways chop), the Noise Gate activates, turning the candles gray and physically blocking all new entry signals. This prevents the user from entering trades in low-probability environments.
3. The Singularity State Machine This internal logic enforces trading discipline. It treats the trend as a binary state (Bullish or Bearish). It forces an alternating signal pattern, ensuring that you are only alerted to the specific moment a major trend reversal occurs, rather than being bombarded with repetitive signals during a long run.
Best Way to Use This System
To maximize profitability and minimize false positives, it is recommended to use the "Regime & Alignment" methodology outlined below.
1. The Traffic Light Rule
Before placing any trade, observe the color of the candlesticks on the chart:
Green Candles: The market is in a confirmed Bullish Impulse. You should only look for Long entries or hold existing positions. Shorting is statistically dangerous here.
Red Candles: The market is in a confirmed Bearish Impulse. You should only look for Short entries or hold cash. Buying the dip here is high-risk.
Gray Candles: The market is in a Chop/Squeeze regime. The Noise Gate is active. Do not open new positions. This indicates indecision, and the market is likely to destroy option premiums or stop out tight leverage. Wait for the candles to return to Green or Red before acting.
2. The Entry Trigger
Enter a trade only when a text label (LONG or SHORT) appears.
Long Signal: Occurs when price closes above the Trend Line AND the market is not in a Chop zone.
Short Signal: Occurs when price closes below the Trend Line AND the market is not in a Chop zone.
3. The Exit Strategy
There are two ways to manage the trade once active:
The Trend Follower (Conservative): Hold the position until the Trend Line flips color. This captures the maximum duration of the move but may give back some profit at the very end.
The Stop Loss (Active): The Trend Line (the white value in your dashboard) acts as your Trailing Stop. If a candle closes beyond this line, the trend is technically invalidated. You should exit immediately.
4. Multi-Timeframe Alignment (The Golden Rule)
The highest win rates are achieved when your trading timeframe aligns with the higher-order trend.
Step 1: Check the 4-Hour chart. Is the Trend Line Green?
Step 2: Switch to the 15-Minute chart.
Step 3: Only take the LONG signals on the 15-Minute chart. Ignore all Short signals.
Reasoning: Counter-trend trades often fail. By trading only in the direction of the higher timeframe, you are swimming with the current, not against it.
Recommended Settings by Style
Swing Trading (Daily/4H): Keep the Trend Factor at 4.0. This ignores daily noise and keeps you in the trade for weeks or months.
Day Trading (1H/15m): Lower the Trend Factor to 3.0. This makes the system more reactive to intraday reversals.
Scalping (5m): Lower the Trend Factor to 2.0 and the ATR Length to 7. This is aggressive and requires strict adherence to the Stop Loss.

Vdubus Divergence Wave Pattern Generator V1The Vdubus Divergence Wave Theory
10 years in the making & now finally thanks to AI I have attempted to put my Trading strategy & logic into a visual representation of how I analyse and project market using Core price action & MacD. Enjoy :)
A Proprietary Structural & Momentum Confluence SystemPart 1: The Strategic Concept1. The Core Philosophy: "Geometry + Physics"Traditional technical analysis often fails because traders confuse location with timing.Geometry (Price Patterns): Tells us WHERE the market is likely to reverse (e.g., at a resistance level or harmonic D-point).Physics (Momentum): Tells us WHEN the energy driving the trend has actually shifted. The Vdubus Theory posits that a trade should never be taken based on Geometry alone. A valid signal requires a specific, fractal decay in momentum—a "Handshake" between price structure and energy exhaustion.2. The 3-Wave Momentum Filter (The Engine)Most traders look for simple divergence (2 points). The Vdubus Theory demands a 3-Wave Structure to confirm the true state of the market.A. The Standard Reversal (Exhaustion)This is the "Safe" entry, catching the slow death of a trend.Wave 1 $\rightarrow$ 2 (The Warning): Price pushes higher, but momentum is lower (Standard Divergence). This signals that the trend is tapping the brakes.Wave 2 $\rightarrow$ 3 (The Confirmation): Price pushes to a final extreme (often a stop-hunt), but momentum is flat or lower than Wave 2 ("No Divergence").The Logic: This confirms that the buyers have expended all remaining energy. The engine is dead.
B. The Climax Reversal (The Trap)This is the "Aggressive" entry, catching V-shape reversals.Wave 1 $\rightarrow$ 2 (The Bait): Price pushes higher, and momentum is Stronger/Higher (No Divergence). This sucks in retail traders who believe the trend is accelerating.Wave 2 $\rightarrow$ 3 (The Snap): Price pushes again, but momentum suddenly collapses (Divergence).The Logic: A "Strong to Weak" shift. The market traps traders with a show of strength before hitting a "concrete wall" of limit orders.C. The Predator (The Trend Continuation)The Logic: Trends rarely move in straight lines. The "Predator" looks for Hidden Divergence during a pullback.The Signal: Price makes a Higher Low (Trend Structure Intact), but Momentum makes a Lower Low (Oversold Trap). This signals the end of the correction and the resumption of the main trend.3. The "Clean Path" PrincipleA trade is only valid if there is no opposing force. If you are looking to Sell (Bearish Reversal), the opposing Bullish momentum must be weak or neutral. If the "Enemy" is strong, the trade is skipped.
Part 2: The Indicator Breakdown
Tool Name: Vdubus Divergence Wave Pattern Generator V1
This script automates your analysis by combining ZigZag Pattern Recognition (Geometry) with your Custom MACD Logic (Physics).
1. The "Golden" Settings
The physics engine is tuned to your specific discovery:
Fast Length: 8
Slow Length: 21
Signal Length: 5
Lookback: 3 (Sensitive enough to catch the exact pivot points).
2. Signal Generation Logic
The indicator scans for four distinct setups. Here is the exact logic code translated into English:
Signal 1: Standard Reversal (Green/Red Pattern)
Geometry: The ZigZag algorithm identifies a 5-point structure (X-A-B-C-D), such as a Gartley, Bat, or Butterfly.
Physics Check:
Finds the last 3 momentum peaks matching the price highs.
Rule: Momentum Peak 2 must be < Peak 1 (Divergence).
Rule: Momentum Peak 3 must be <= Peak 2 (Confirmation/No Div).
Output: Draws the colored pattern and labels it (e.g., "Bearish Gartley (Exhaustion)").
Signal 2: Climax Reversal (Orange Pattern)
Geometry: Identifies the same 5-point structures.
Physics Check:
Rule: Momentum Peak 2 is >= Peak 1 (Strength/No Div).
Rule: Momentum Peak 3 is < Peak 2 (Sudden Failure/Div).
Output: Draws the pattern in Orange labeled "⚠️ CLIMAX REVERSAL". This is your "Trap" detector.
Signal 3: Rounded Top/Bottom (Navy/Maroon Label)
Geometry: Price is compressing or rounding over.
Physics Check:
Scans for 4 consecutive waves of momentum decay.
Rule: Peak 1 > Peak 2 > Peak 3 > Peak 4.
Output: Places a label indicating a "Multi-Wave Decay," identifying turns that don't have sharp pivots.
Signal 4: The Predator (Purple Pattern)
Geometry: Identifies a trend pullback (Higher Low for Buys).
Physics Check:
Rule: Momentum makes a Lower Low while Price makes a Higher Low (Hidden Divergence).
Output: Draws a Purple pattern labeled "🦖 PREDATOR" to signal trend continuation.
3. The Confluence Dashboard
Located in the corner of the screen, this provides a final "Safety Check."
Logic: It compares the absolute value (strength) of the most recent Bearish Momentum Peak vs. the most recent Bullish Momentum Low.
Output:
Green (Bulls Strong): Buying pressure is dominant. Safe to Buy, Dangerous to Sell.
Red (Bears Strong): Selling pressure is dominant. Safe to Sell, Dangerous to Buy.
Grey (Neutral): Forces are balanced.
Summary of Potential
This system solves the "Trader's Dilemma" of entering too early or too late. By waiting for the 3rd Wave, you effectively filter out the market noise and only commit capital when the opposing side has structurally and physically collapsed. It transforms trading from a guessing game into a disciplined execution of identifying Geometric Exhaustion.
Logic 1 / PREVIOUS DIVERGENCE PROJECTS future TREND BREAKS / Reversals *Not in script*
Logic 2 / Wave 1 to 2 = Divergence / Wave 2 to 3 = NO divergence = Signal
Reverse logic: Wave 1 to 2 = NO Divergence / Wave 2 to 3 = Divergence = Signal
SuperTrend Oscillator [ChartPrime]⯁ OVERVIEW
The SuperTrend Oscillator is a hybrid momentum–trend indicator that transforms the classic SuperTrend into a full-strength oscillator.
Instead of simply plotting SuperTrend direction on the chart, this tool measures the distance between price and SuperTrend, normalizes it by volatility, and converts it into a dynamic oscillator that highlights trend strength, momentum extremes, and high-precision reversal points.
⯁ CONCEPTS
SuperTrend Engine: The indicator extracts the SuperTrend baseline and direction using ATR-based volatility. This acts as the core structure from which the oscillator is built.
Volatility-Adjusted Oscillation: (close − SuperTrend) is divided by ATR to standardize momentum across all markets and timeframes.
Adaptive Oscillator Types: The signal can be transformed using HMA, EMA, or SMA smoothing for varying responsiveness.
Momentum Extremes: Values above +1.7 or below −1.7 signal stretched price conditions where reversals are more likely.
Reversal Logic: The oscillator compares its current value with its value three bars ago. Large positive or negative pivots indicate momentum shifts.
⯁ FEATURES
Trend-Colored SuperTrend Line
The SuperTrend line shifts color based on direction, giving immediate context for oscillator readings.
Full Oscillator Transformation
Converts price–SuperTrend distance into a normalized oscillator, showing when momentum is expanding, contracting, or reaching exhaustion.
Gradient Momentum Coloring
The oscillator line and candles are colored using a two-sided gradient:
• Red tones for bearish momentum
• Orange/cream tones for bullish momentum
• Gray tones for low momentum
This makes strength visually intuitive.
Extreme Zones (±1.7 Bands)
Built-in upper and lower thresholds highlight zones where price is statistically overextended.
Dual Fill Layers
The area above/below zero is filled in different colors to emphasize bullish or bearish oscillator regime.
Reversal Diamonds
The script highlights significant reversals when:
• Momentum shifts downward from high values (bearish pivot)
• Momentum shifts upward from deep lows (bullish pivot)
These diamonds help pinpoint exhaustion-based turning points.
⯁ HOW TO USE
Identify Trend Strength:
A rising oscillator above 0 confirms bullish SuperTrend conditions; falling below 0 confirms bearish ones.
Spot Momentum Extremes:
Readings above +1.7 or below −1.7 often signal overextended price moves.
Use Reversal Diamonds as Pivot Alerts:
Diamond markers indicate high-probability turning points when momentum sharply reverses from extreme zones.
Confirm Trend Shifts with Color Changes:
Candle and oscillator colors shift based on momentum direction, providing clean visual alignment with SuperTrend direction.
Combine with Structure or OB Zones:
Reversal signals become more reliable when they occur at key S/R, order blocks, or liquidity sweeps.
⯁ CONCLUSION
The SuperTrend Oscillator modernizes the SuperTrend by transforming it into a volatility-aware oscillator with clear reversal markers, trend coloring, and momentum normalization.
This tool is ideal for traders who want both trend context and precise timing signals, blending SuperTrend’s reliability with the dynamics of a professional-grade momentum oscillator.
Dark Vector ScalpingThe Dark Vector Scalping indicator is a high-frequency trend-following system designed specifically to capture rapid momentum shifts in the market. It combines a staircase-style breakout logic with volatility-adjusted trailing stops to define market direction.
While the underlying math is robust enough for various asset classes, this specific configuration is optimized for scalping operations on 1-minute and 5-minute timeframes. It aims to filter out the "noise" common in lower timeframes while reacting quickly to genuine breakouts.
Core Components
1. The Apex Engine (Staircase Logic) Unlike traditional moving averages that curve with price, this engine uses a "hard" breakout logic. It looks back at a specific number of bars (Sensitivity) to find the highest highs and lowest lows.
Bullish Flip: Occurs when the price closes below the calculated low of the previous trend.
Bearish Flip: Occurs when the price closes above the calculated high of the previous trend.
Trailing Stop: Once a trend is established, a trailing stop line is drawn. This line only moves in the direction of the trend (up for bullish, down for bearish) and never retraces, acting as a ratchet to lock in paper profits.
2. Volatility Normalization To prevent getting stopped out by random market noise (scam wicks), the indicator calculates the Average True Range (ATR). It multiplies this volatility metric by a user-defined deviation factor to determine exactly how far the stop line should be from the current price action.
3. The Hull Moving Average (HMA) Filter The script includes an optional 50-period Hull Moving Average. The HMA is known for being extremely fast and smooth, reducing lag compared to standard moving averages.
Visual Reference: You can plot the line to see the overall macro trend.
Hard Filter: You can enable a "Safety Filter" in the settings. If enabled, the system will only generate Buy signals if the price is above the HMA, and Sell signals if the price is below the HMA.
4. The Dashboard A data panel is located on the chart (customizable position) to provide instant numerical data without needing to calculate levels manually. It displays the current trend state, the exact price of the trailing stop, and the status of the HMA filter.
Settings & Configuration
Sensitivity (Lookback)
Default: 5
This is the primary setting for the Apex Engine. A setting of 5 is the "sweet spot" for 1-minute and 5-minute charts. It allows the system to react very quickly to sudden volume spikes. Increasing this number (e.g., to 10) will make the signals slower and more conservative.
Stop Deviation
Default: 3.0
This controls the "breathing room" for the trade. A value of 3.0 allows for standard volatility on minute charts without triggering a premature exit. Lowering this to 2.0 will result in tighter stops but more false signals.
HMA Filter
Use HMA as Filter? (Default: OFF):
When OFF, the system signals purely on price action breakouts (fastest).
When ON, the system waits for the price to align with the 50-period HMA before signaling (safest, but may delay entry).
How to Interpret Visuals
Candle Colors
Teal/Green: The market is in a Bullish regime.
Red/Pink: The market is in a Bearish regime.
The Line
The solid stepped line represents the hard invalidation point. If price closes beyond this line, the trend is considered over.
Diamond Signals
Light Green Diamond (Below Bar): Confirmed Buy Signal. A new bullish trend has started.
Light Red/Pink Diamond (Above Bar): Confirmed Sell Signal. A new bearish trend has started.
Trading Strategy Guide
The Scalp Entry
Ensure you are on a 1-minute or 5-minute timeframe.
Wait for a signal Diamond to close. Do not enter while the bar is still forming, as the signal may repaint (disappear) if the price retraces before the close.
Long Entry: Enter when a Green Diamond appears and the candle turns Teal.
Short Entry: Enter when a Red Diamond appears and the candle turns Red.
Risk Management
Stop Loss: Your invalidation level is the "Apex Stop" line. You can place your hard stop loss slightly beyond this line.
Take Profit: Because this is a trend-following system, it is often best to hold until the candle color changes, or to take profit at fixed Risk:Reward ratios (e.g., 1:1.5 or 1:2).
The HMA Nuance If you find the market is "choppy" (moving sideways), enable the "Use HMA as Filter" option in the settings. This will force the system to ignore signals that are counter-trend to the longer-term momentum.

Smart Money Setup 08 [TradingFinder] Binary Options Gold Scalper🔵 Introduction
In the Smart Money methodology, the market is understood as a structure driven by liquidity flow. This structure forms through the movement of large orders, the accumulation of liquidity, and the reactions that occur around key price zones. The logic of Smart Money is based on the idea that price movement is not random and usually evolves with the intention of collecting liquidity and creating price inefficiencies known as imbalances.
Within this framework, several important stages including the liquidity sweep, the formation of a point of interest, the appearance of an imbalance and the transition of market structure play major roles and collectively define the broader direction of price.
In many bullish scenarios, the market begins by sweeping sell side liquidity and targeting important lows in order to collect the liquidity resting below them. This liquidity collection often becomes the starting point for creating a point of interest which usually marks the area where Smart Money begins to enter the market.
After price moves away from this point, it breaks a structural high and forms a change of character. This shift marks a transition in the balance of power between buyers and sellers and is considered the first clear signal that the market structure is changing.
After the change of character, new institutional order flow often creates a strong and rapid movement that leaves behind an imbalance. This imbalance is one of the most important elements in Smart Money analysis because price tends to return to this area in order to complete structure and restore balance.
The return into the imbalance becomes meaningful when it occurs together with the liquidity sweep, the presence of a validated point of interest and a confirmed structural transition. These conditions frequently mark the beginning of powerful movements within the Smart Money cycle.
Understanding the sequence of liquidity, point of interest, imbalance, change of character and market structure builds the foundation of Smart Money analysis and provides a clear view of the true direction of institutional strength.
Bullish Setup :
Bearish Setup :
🔵 How to Use
To use this framework effectively, the trader must analyze the market through the principles of Smart Money and observe how liquidity drives price. A trade becomes valid only when several essential components appear together in a clear and consistent order.
These components include the liquidity sweep, the formation of a point of interest, the confirmation of a change of character, the transition of market structure and the return of price into an imbalance. The method is built on the understanding that the market first collects liquidity, then shifts order flow and finally provides an entry opportunity inside an inefficient area or inside a point of interest.
For this reason, the trader must follow the path of liquidity from the moment the sweep occurs, through the point of interest and the change of character and finally into the return of price toward the imbalance. When applied correctly, this approach creates entries that are more precise, more structural and more aligned with the real behavior of the market rather than with superficial signals.
🟣 Long Position
A bullish setup in Smart Money structure begins with a liquidity sweep on the sell side. The market first targets the areas where sell side liquidity is located and collects the stops and resting liquidity under previous lows. This collection is the condition that Smart Money requires to begin creating a new order flow. After this liquidity has been taken, a point of interest forms which is usually the last bearish candle or the effective demand zone that initiated the upward movement.
Price then moves away from the point of interest and breaks a structural high which creates a change of character. This event confirms that the market structure has moved from a bearish state to a bullish one and that buying pressure has taken control of the order flow. Following this shift, a strong upward movement often occurs and creates an imbalance between candles. This imbalance reflects the entrance of strong Smart Money orders and is seen as an important confirmation of bullish strength.
When price returns to this imbalance after the displacement, the market enters a phase where Smart Money aims to complete the corrective movement and continue the upward direction. The reaction inside the imbalance when combined with the liquidity sweep, the confirmed point of interest and the change of character completes the bullish setup and forms a structure that often leads to a continuation of the bullish trend.
🟣 Short Position
A bearish setup follows the same Smart Money logic but in the opposite direction. The market begins by collecting buy side liquidity and targets the highs where buy side liquidity and resting stops are located. This liquidity sweep on the buy side becomes the starting phase for Smart Money to initiate a downward order flow. After the liquidity is collected, a bearish point of interest forms which is usually the last bullish candle or the supply zone that created the initial drop.
Price then moves away from this point and breaks the first structural low. This creates a change of character to the downside which confirms that the market structure has transitioned from bullish to bearish and that selling pressure has gained control. After this shift, a strong downward displacement appears and leaves behind a bearish imbalance that clearly shows the dominance of sellers.
As price returns to this imbalance and corrects the inefficient movement, the bearish setup becomes complete as long as the market structure remains bearish. The combination of the buy side liquidity sweep, the bearish point of interest, the change of character, the imbalance and the corrective return creates the ideal structure that Smart Money uses to continue the downward movement and develop a reliable selling opportunity.

🔵 Conclusion
The Smart Money approach demonstrates that price movement is not random or based on surface level patterns. Instead, it develops through a clear cycle of liquidity collection, structural transition and corrective movement toward key price zones. By recognizing events such as the liquidity sweep, the formation of the point of interest, the change of character and the return into the imbalance, the trader gains the ability to understand order flow more accurately and identify the true direction of market structure.
Both bullish and bearish setups show that the alignment of these elements creates a transparent view of institutional behavior and reveals the source of strong movements in the market. When the trader correctly identifies this sequence, entry points become more reliable and more aligned with liquidity flow. The combination of liquidity, structure and imbalance provides a consistent framework that removes guesswork and guides decisions through the real logic of the market.
VB Sigma Smart Momentum IndicatorVB Sigma Smart Momentum Indicator (VBSSMI)
The VBSSMI provides a consolidated decision-support framework that surfaces market participation, trend integrity, and liquidity conditions in a single visual environment. The tool integrates four analytical modules: MCDX Flow Mapping, Donchian Regime Layers, Banker Flow Modeling, and Chop Zone Trend Classification. Together, these components convert raw price movement into an actionable interpretation of who is in control, whether momentum is durable, and what phase the instrument is currently cycling through.
How to Use the Indicator (Practical Workflow)
1. Start with Institutional / Banker Flow (Pink/Red/Yellow/Green Candles)
This is the primary signal layer. It tells you when high-capacity participants are increasing, reducing, or reversing risk.
Yellow Candle — Entry Bias
Indicates a potential institutional initiation when their trend metric crosses above their accumulation threshold.
Operational signal: instrument enters “monitor for entry” state.
Green Candle — Accumulation State
Fund-trend > bullbearline.
Operational signal: trend integrity improving; pullbacks are generally buyable.
White Candle — Distribution / Cooling
Fund-trend weakening but not broken.
Operational signal: tighten stops; momentum deteriorating.
Red Candle — Exit / Trend Failure
Fund-trend < bullbearline.
Operational signal: momentum regime invalidated; avoid long risk.
Blue Candle — Weak Rebound
A temporary uptick within broader weakness.
Operational signal: do not mistake this for a durable reversal.
2. Validate alignment with Flow Chips (Retail / Trader / Institutional)
These three flow columns (MCDX layers) answer: who is actually participating?
Retailer Flow (Locked Chips – Green)
High values imply retail conviction, often late-cycle.
Good for confirming trend strength, not timing entries.
Trader Zone Flow (Float Chips – Yellow)
When this spikes, volatility and tactical positioning increase.
Signal: strong short-term engagement, supports breakout/trend continuation.
Institutional Flow (Profitable Chips – Red/Pink)
This is the “true north” of momentum.
Rising values = institutions controlling price discovery.
Signal: long setups have statistical tailwind.
The operational guidance is straightforward:
Institutional Flow > Trader Flow > Retail Flow
is the healthiest configuration for sustainable upside momentum.
3. Confirm Breakout / Breakdown Conditions with Donchian Regime Columns
The vertical Donchian stack illustrates trend regime in a time-compressed format.
Bright Blue/Cyan
Structure expanding upward (breakout cluster).
Dark Purple/Red
Structure breaking downward (breakdown cluster).
Mixed Columns
Transitional or indecisive conditions.
Interpret it as a “momentum backdrop”:
If Donchian columns and Banker Flow candles disagree, avoid entries.
4. Consult the Chop Zone Strip Before Committing Capital
The Chop Zone uses EMA angle to determine whether the market is trending or congested.
Greens/Blues → Trend phase (favorable environment for continuation trades).
Yellows/Oranges/Reds → High noise probability; expect false signals.
Operationally:
Never enter breakout setups during yellow/orange/red chop.
5. Final Decision Framework (Checklist)
A long setup typically requires:
Green or Yellow Banker Flow Candle
Institutional Flow rising
Donchian columns in bullish regime colors
Chop Zone in a trend color (not red/yellow/orange)
A short setup is the exact inverse.
Recommended Use Cases
Momentum trading
Swing position building
Institutional-flow confirmation
Trend-filtering before deploying breakout systems
Screening for strong/weak symbols in multi-asset rotation strategies
Ultimate_Price_Action_Tool_V2 by chaitu50cUltimate_Price_Action_Tool_V2 by chaitu50c — Session-Based SR Box Engine
This indicator builds clean, session-aware support and resistance “zones” from pure price action. It is designed for intraday and positional traders who want objective, rule-based zones instead of manual drawing.
Core Logic
Price-action based MAIN zones
Detects bullish and bearish breakouts using a strict body-structure:
Single-candle and double-candle breakout patterns.
Breakouts are confirmed only when closes break beyond previous highs/lows.
From each valid breakout, the tool builds a MAIN Support or MAIN Resistance box:
For bullish breaks, the zone is created from a combined low to the nearest open/close in the breakout combo.
For bearish breaks, the zone is created from a combined high to the nearest open/close in the breakout combo.
Optional first-box logic:
Can create the very first MAIN zone in a session from a simple opposite-color pair (without a full breakout), if enabled.
SUB zones on break
When price breaks a MAIN Support downwards with a red candle, the MAIN box is removed/frozen and:
A new SUB Resistance box is created above, using the current bar’s structure.
When price breaks a MAIN Resistance upwards with a green candle:
A new SUB Support box is created below.
SUB zones are optional and can be fully disabled if the user prefers a clean MAIN-only view.
Session Handling
The script is fully session-aware and can work in different market structures:
Session Mode options
Clock Session
Uses a fixed time window (e.g., 09:15–15:30).
Zones can be shown only inside the session or kept visible outside, depending on settings.
New Day
Each new trading day is treated as a fresh session.
Auto Gap
A new session starts whenever the time gap between candles exceeds a user-defined threshold (in minutes).
Session IDs and history
Each new session gets its own ID.
You can display zones for the last N sessions (including current).
Older sessions fade out visually but remain internally tracked to control visibility.
Main Features & Options
Initial Right Offset
Every new zone is projected to the right by a configurable number of bars.
All active boxes continuously extend with this offset, keeping zones clearly projected into the future.
Single MAIN per side (per session)
Optional constraint to have only:
One active MAIN Support and
One active MAIN Resistance
per session on the chart.
This prevents overcrowding and focuses on the most recent key structure.
MAIN vs SUB Overlap Control
When a new MAIN zone overlaps an existing SUB zone, you can choose:
Suppress MAIN (ignore the new MAIN if it clashes with a SUB),
Remove SUB (delete overlapping SUB zones and keep the new MAIN), or
Allow Both (plot everything and let the trader decide).
Vertical overlap is evaluated using a configurable minimum overlap percentage.
SUB suppression under MAIN
SUB boxes that overlap strongly with active MAIN zones can be auto-suppressed to avoid redundant clutter.
This suppression uses the same percent-based overlap logic.
Broken MAIN box handling
When a MAIN zone is broken:
Option 1: Fully delete it (classic behavior).
Option 2: Convert it into a 1-bar “marker” box at its origin, so you still see where the original zone formed without extending into the future.
Break candle coloring
The candle that breaks a MAIN zone can be optionally painted:
Red when breaking support.
Green when breaking resistance.
Helps visually confirm genuine breaks vs. simple intrabar tests.
Visual & Styling Controls
Separate style controls for:
MAIN Support / MAIN Resistance
Independent fill and border colors.
SUB Support / SUB Resistance
Independent fill and border colors.
Opacity and border colors are internally managed so that:
Recent sessions are clearly visible.
Older sessions are softly faded to maintain context without noise.
Typical Use Cases
Intraday traders looking for:
Clean, rule-based supply and demand zones.
Zones that respect actual session structure (clock, daily, or gap-based).
Swing traders who:
Want to track how current price reacts to the most recent 1–N sessions’ zones.
Price action traders who:
Prefer breakout-based zones rather than indicator-driven levels.
Need automatic zone management (creation, extension, break handling, and suppression).
This tool is built to be modular and configurable: you can run it minimal (only MAIN zones, single side per session) or fully featured (MAIN + SUB, multi-session history, overlap handling, and break paints). All logic is strictly price-action based with no dependency on volume or external indicators.

MACD Forecast Colorful [DiFlip]MACD Forecast Colorful
The Future of Predictive MACD — is one of the most advanced and customizable MACD indicators ever published on TradingView. Built on the classic MACD foundation, this upgraded version integrates statistical forecasting through linear regression to anticipate future movements — not just react to the past.
With a total of 22 fully configurable long and short entry conditions, visual enhancements, and full automation support, this indicator is designed for serious traders seeking an analytical edge.
⯁ Real-Time MACD Forecasting
For the first time, a public MACD script combines the classic structure of MACD with predictive analytics powered by linear regression. Instead of simply responding to current values, this tool projects the MACD line, signal line, and histogram n bars into the future, allowing you to trade with foresight rather than hindsight.
⯁ Fully Customizable
This indicator is built for flexibility. It includes 22 entry conditions, all of which are fully configurable. Each condition can be turned on/off, chained using AND/OR logic, and adapted to your trading model.
Whether you're building a rules-based quant system, automating alerts, or refining discretionary signals, MACD Forecast Colorful gives you full control over how signals are generated, displayed, and triggered.
⯁ With MACD Forecast Colorful, you can:
• Detect MACD crossovers before they happen.
• Anticipate trend reversals with greater precision.
• React earlier than traditional indicators.
• Gain a powerful edge in both discretionary and automated strategies.
• This isn’t just smarter MACD — it’s predictive momentum intelligence.
⯁ Scientifically Powered by Linear Regression
MACD Forecast Colorful is the first public MACD indicator to apply least-squares predictive modeling to MACD behavior — effectively introducing machine learning logic into a time-tested tool.
It uses statistical regression to analyze historical behavior of the MACD and project future trajectories. The result is a forward-shifted MACD forecast that can detect upcoming crossovers and divergences before they appear on the chart.
⯁ Linear Regression: Technical Foundation
Linear regression is a statistical method that models the relationship between a dependent variable (y) and one or more independent variables (x). The basic formula for simple linear regression is:
y = β₀ + β₁x + ε
Where:
y = predicted variable (e.g., future MACD value)
x = independent variable (e.g., bar index)
β₀ = intercept
β₁ = slope
ε = random error (residual)
The regression model calculates β₀ and β₁ using the least squares method, minimizing the sum of squared prediction errors to produce the best-fit line through historical values. This line is then extended forward, generating a forecast based on recent price momentum.
⯁ Least Squares Estimation
The regression coefficients are computed with the following formulas:
β₁ = Σ((xᵢ - x̄)(yᵢ - ȳ)) / Σ((xᵢ - x̄)²)
β₀ = ȳ - β₁x̄
Where:
Σ denotes summation; x̄ and ȳ are the means of x and y; and i ranges from 1 to n (number of observations). These equations produce the best linear unbiased estimator under the Gauss–Markov assumptions — constant variance (homoscedasticity) and a linear relationship between variables.
⯁ Regression in Machine Learning
Linear regression is a foundational model in supervised learning. Its ability to provide precise, explainable, and fast forecasts makes it critical in AI systems and quantitative analysis.
Applying linear regression to MACD forecasting is the equivalent of injecting artificial intelligence into one of the most widely used momentum tools in trading.
⯁ Visual Interpretation
Picture the MACD values over time like this:
Time →
MACD →
A regression line is fitted to recent MACD values, then projected forward n periods. The result is a predictive trajectory that can cross over the real MACD or signal line — offering an early-warning system for trend shifts and momentum changes.
The indicator plots both current MACD and forecasted MACD, allowing you to visually compare short-term future behavior against historical movement.
⯁ Scientific Concepts Used
Linear Regression: models the relationship between variables using a straight line.
Least Squares Method: minimizes squared prediction errors for best-fit.
Time-Series Forecasting: projects future data based on past patterns.
Supervised Learning: predictive modeling using labeled inputs.
Statistical Smoothing: filters noise to highlight trends.
⯁ Why This Indicator Is Revolutionary
First open-source MACD with real-time predictive modeling.
Scientifically grounded with linear regression logic.
Automatable through TradingView alerts and bots.
Smart signal generation using forecasted crossovers.
Highly customizable with 22 buy/sell conditions.
Enhanced visuals with background (bgcolor) and area fill (fill) support.
This isn’t just an update — it’s the next evolution of MACD forecasting.
⯁ Example of simple linear regression with one independent variable
This example demonstrates how a basic linear regression works when there is only one independent variable influencing the dependent variable. This type of model is used to identify a direct relationship between two variables.
⯁ In linear regression, observations (red) are considered the result of random deviations (green) from an underlying relationship (blue) between a dependent variable (y) and an independent variable (x)
This concept illustrates that sampled data points rarely align perfectly with the true trend line. Instead, each observed point represents the combination of the true underlying relationship and a random error component.
⯁ Visualizing heteroscedasticity in a scatterplot with 100 random fitted values using Matlab
Heteroscedasticity occurs when the variance of the errors is not constant across the range of fitted values. This visualization highlights how the spread of data can change unpredictably, which is an important factor in evaluating the validity of regression models.
⯁ The datasets in Anscombe’s quartet were designed to have nearly the same linear regression line (as well as nearly identical means, standard deviations, and correlations) but look very different when plotted
This classic example shows that summary statistics alone can be misleading. Even with identical numerical metrics, the datasets display completely different patterns, emphasizing the importance of visual inspection when interpreting a model.
⯁ Result of fitting a set of data points with a quadratic function
This example illustrates how a second-degree polynomial model can better fit certain datasets that do not follow a linear trend. The resulting curve reflects the true shape of the data more accurately than a straight line.
⯁ What is the MACD?
The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) is a technical analysis indicator developed by Gerald Appel. It measures the relationship between two moving averages of a security’s price to identify changes in momentum, direction, and strength of a trend. The MACD is composed of three components: the MACD line, the signal line, and the histogram.
⯁ How to use the MACD?
The MACD is calculated by subtracting the 26-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) from the 12-period EMA. A 9-period EMA of the MACD line, called the signal line, is then plotted on top of the MACD line. The MACD histogram represents the difference between the MACD line and the signal line.
Here are the primary signals generated by the MACD:
• Bullish Crossover: When the MACD line crosses above the signal line, indicating a potential buy signal.
• Bearish Crossover: When the MACD line crosses below the signal line, indicating a potential sell signal.
• Divergence: When the price of the security diverges from the MACD, suggesting a potential reversal.
• Overbought/Oversold Conditions: Indicated by the MACD line moving far away from the signal line, though this is less common than in oscillators like the RSI.
⯁ How to use MACD forecast?
The MACD Forecast is built on the same foundation as the classic MACD, but with predictive capabilities.
Step 1 — Spot Predicted Crossovers:
Watch for forecasted bullish or bearish crossovers. These signals anticipate when the MACD line will cross the signal line in the future, letting you prepare trades before the move.
Step 2 — Confirm with Histogram Projection:
Use the projected histogram to validate momentum direction. A rising histogram signals strengthening bullish momentum, while a falling projection points to weakening or bearish conditions.
Step 3 — Combine with Multi-Timeframe Analysis:
Use forecasts across multiple timeframes to confirm signal strength (e.g., a 1h forecast aligned with a 4h forecast).
Step 4 — Set Entry Conditions & Automation:
Customize your buy/sell rules with the 20 forecast-based conditions and enable automation for bots or alerts.
Step 5 — Trade Ahead of the Market:
By preparing for future momentum shifts instead of reacting to the past, you’ll always stay one step ahead of lagging traders.

MA Strength Indicator EnhancedThe "MA Strength" is an indicator that measures market trend strength or (in the case of forex pairs) the relative strength of individual currencies based on up to five different moving averages (MA). It offers multiple calculation methods, such as simple summation, normalized value, or measuring ATR/percentage distance from the price. The results are summarized in a clear table, and it provides customizable alerts for trend changes or shifts in currency strength. The high level of configurability (e.g., MA weighting, "all MA alignment" requirement) allows for fine-tuning the strategy.
💬 Interpreting the Table (Top Rows)
The top row of the table shows the final output of the indicator. This changes according to the set "Table Mode".
Trend Mode: The top row shows the final, aggregated trend status (e.g., "BULLISH", "NEUTRAL") and the corresponding "Trend Value". This is the value the indicator compares to its thresholds.
Forex Mode: (Only on 6-character pairs): The top two rows show the strength of the Base currency and the Quote currency separately.
Calculation of the top rows:
The indicator calculates the individual score of all active MAs (according to the chosen method).
Trend Value: This is the final value calculated from the scores.
If "Enable Averaging" is ON, this will be the average of the scores (e.g., MA1 score is 5.0, MA2 score is 7.0 -> Trend Value is 6.0).
If averaging is OFF, this will be the sum of the scores (e.g., 5.0 + 7.0 = 12.0).
Forex Calculation: "Forex Mode" uses this "Trend Value". If the Trend Value is +6.0 (on an EURUSD pair):
The Base currency (EUR) value will be +6.0.
The Quote currency (USD) value will be -6.0.
The indicator compares these values to the thresholds to determine the "STRONG" status for EUR and "WEAK" status for USD.
📊 Calculation Methods
The indicator can calculate trend strength using 5 methods. The final "Trend Value" is derived from the results of these calculations.
Sum:
Description: Simply adds up the individual scores of all enabled moving averages (MA).
Formula: If the price is above an MA, it gets the "Score Above" value (e.g., +2.0); if below, it gets the "Score Below" value (e.g., -2.0).
Example: Result = (MA1 score) + (MA2 score) + ...
Normalized:
Description: Takes the sum obtained by the "Sum" method and converts it to a scale between -100% (maximally bearish) and +100% (maximally bullish). It takes into account the maximum possible positive and negative scores.
Formula: Result = (Total Score / Max Possible Score) * 100
Percentage Distance:
Description: This method also considers distance. The further the price is from the MA in percentage terms, the higher the score.
Formula: MA Score = (|Close Price - MA| / MA * 100) * Weight (The "Weight" is the "Score Above/Below" value set in settings).
ATR Distance:
Description: Similar to percentage distance, but normalizes the distance using volatility via ATR (Average True Range).
Formula: MA Score = (|Close Price - MA| / ATR) * Weight
Candle Count:
Description: Counts how many consecutive candles have been above or below the MA. It multiplies this number by the set weight.
Formula: MA Score = (Number of consecutive candles) * Weight
⚙️ Settings Options
Moving Averages (MA 1-5)
For each moving average, you can set:
Enable MA: Turn the specific MA on or off.
Type: The type of moving average (SMA, EMA, WMA, etc.).
Period: The period of the MA (e.g., 50, 200).
Score Above / Below: The most important setting. This defines the "weight" of the MA in the calculation. In "Sum" mode, this is a fixed score; in distance-based modes, this is a multiplier (weight). It is advisable to write a positive number for "Score Above" and a negative number for "Score Below".
Calculation Settings
Enable Averaging: If this is on, the indicator shows the average of the active MA scores, not the total score.
Exception: This function is not available in "Normalized" mode.
Require All MA Alignment: This is a strict filter. If enabled, the indicator only gives a "BULLISH" (or "STRONG") signal if the price is above all enabled moving averages. Similarly, a "BEARISH" signal only occurs if the price is below all moving averages. If the price is on the opposite side of even just one MA (e.g., above 4, below 1), the status becomes "NEUTRAL", regardless of the scores.
Strength / Trend Thresholds
Enable Extra Levels: If active, statuses are expanded: "EXT. BULLISH" / "EXT. BEARISH" (Trend mode) or "EXT. STRONG" / "EXT. WEAK" (Forex mode). This indicates stronger, overbought/oversold conditions.
Threshold setting: The thresholds (e.g., "Strong Above - ATR") determine when the calculated value counts as a "STRONG" or "WEAK" status.
🔢 Setting Thresholds via Calculation
If "Enable Averaging" is OFF, the "Trend Value" shown in the table will be the sum of the individual MA scores. Therefore, we must define the threshold by adding up the minimum expected performance from each moving average. This allows us to set different expectations for short, medium, and long-term averages.
Step 1: Determine MA weights
In our example, we use 3 active MAs with the following weights (Score Above values):
MA1 (Short): Weight = +2
MA2 (Medium): Weight = +3
MA3 (Long): Weight = +4
Step 2: Determine the minimum expected distance
Define a minimum distance expected from each MA to trigger a "Strong" signal.
Step 3: Calculate target scores and the final threshold
Note: If "Enable Averaging" is ON, the resulting value (sum of target scores) must be
averaged to get the final threshold.
Example 1: ATR Distance
-Goal: I want a "Strong" signal if the price is...
...at least 1.0 ATR above MA1 (Short),
...at least 1.5 ATR above MA2 (Medium),
...and at least 2.0 ATR above MA3 (Long).
-Calculation (Expected Distance * Weight):
MA1 Target Score: 1.0 * 2 = 2.0
MA2 Target Score: 1.5 * 3 = 4.5
MA3 Target Score: 2.0 * 4 = 8.0
-Final Threshold (Sum of Target Scores): 2.0 + 4.5 + 8.0 = 14.5
-Setting: Set "Strong Above - ATR" threshold to 14.5.
If "Enable Averaging" is ON, the obtained value must be averaged, and the result will be the
threshold: 4.8 (14.5 / 3 = 4.83).
Example 2: Percentage Distance
-Goal: I want a "Strong" signal if the price is...
...at least 0.5% above MA1,
...at least 1.0% above MA2,
...and at least 1.5% above MA3.
-Calculation (Expected Distance * Weight):
MA1 Target Score: 0.5 * 2.0 = 1.0
MA2 Target Score: 1.0 * 3.0 = 3.0
MA3 Target Score: 1.5 * 4.0 = 6.0
-Final Threshold (Sum): 1.0 + 3.0 + 6.0 = 10.0
-Setting: Set "Strong Above - Percentage" threshold to 10.0.
If "Enable Averaging" is ON, the obtained value must be averaged, and the result will be the
threshold.
Example 3: Candle Count
-Goal: I want a "Strong" signal if...
...at least 3 consecutive candles are above MA1,
...at least 5 consecutive candles are above MA2,
...and at least 10 consecutive candles are above MA3.
-Calculation (Expected Candle Count * Weight):
MA1 Target Score: 3 * 2.0 = 6.0
MA2 Target Score: 5 * 3.0 = 15.0
MA3 Target Score: 10 * 4.0 = 40.0
-Final Threshold (Sum): 6.0 + 15.0 + 40.0 = 61.0
-Setting: Set "Strong Above - Candle" threshold to 61.0.
If "Enable Averaging" is ON, the obtained value must be averaged, and the result will be the
threshold.
Example 4: Sum
In this mode, distance does not matter, only whether the price is above or below the MA.
-Goal: "Strong" signal if the price is above the long-term averages, but can be below the short-term (MA1).
MA1 (Short): Can be below (Weight: -2.0)
MA2 (Medium): Must be above (Weight: +3.0)
MA3 (Long): Must be above (Weight: +4.0)
-Calculation: -2.0 + 3.0 + 4.0 = 5.0
-Setting: Set "Strong Above - Sum" threshold to 5.0.
If it must be above all three moving averages, the threshold would be 2.0 + 3.0 + 4.0 = 9.0.
If "Enable Averaging" is ON, the obtained value must be averaged, and the result will be the
threshold.
Example 5: Normalized
The basic logic is similar to the "Sum" method.
-Goal: "Strong" signal if price is above MA2 and MA3, but potentially below MA1.
-Calculation: Target Sum: 5.0. Max Possible Score (above all): 9.0.
-Threshold: (5.0 / 9.0) * 100 = 55.5
In this calculation method, averaging cannot be set.
The Usage of the "ATR %" Row
The "ATR %" row shows the percentage movement of an average candle.
How to use this with "Percentage Distance" mode:
This number gives a baseline. It helps decide if the "Percentage Distance" threshold is realistic.
Example: You see the "ATR %" value is hovering around 1.2%. This means a "normal" candle moves about 1.2%.
If you set the Percentage threshold to 0.5%, it is too low. The indicator will constantly give a "Strong" signal because even average movement (noise) exceeds the threshold.
Correct Usage: If "normal" movement is 1.2%, then a "strong" movement (trend) needs to be significantly larger. For example, set the threshold to double the ATR %: 2.4 (2 * 1.2). Thus, you only get a "Strong" signal if the movement is twice the average volatility.
Supplementary Information
Rounding Differences:
The numbers displayed in the table and the precision of calculations in the background differ.
Table Display: The indicator rounds numbers to two decimal places in the table. So, if the value is 0.996, the table shows 1.00 (rounded up).
Internal Calculation: The background calculation uses much higher precision. When determining status (STRONG vs NEUTRAL), the program compares the precise, unrounded value to the threshold.
Result: Due to rounding, it may happen that if the threshold is 1.00 and the table shows 1.00, the status flickers between Strong and Neutral. If this is bothersome, it is advisable to set a slightly lower threshold (e.g., 0.98).
🔔 Alert Settings
The indicator can send alerts when the status changes.
Alert Method:
Trend: Alerts when the main trend status changes (e.g., from "NEUTRAL" to "BULLISH"). You can specify which direction to alert for (e.g., only "BULLISH").
Forex: Works only on 6-character forex pairs. You can set separate alerts for the Base or Quote currency.
Forex Strength Level: You can specify at which status level to alert (e.g., "WEAK" or "EXT. STRONG").
📈 Trading Tips
Trend Confirmation: Use the "BULLISH" / "BEARISH" status to confirm your existing strategy (e.g., breakouts, bounces off support).
Forex Pairing: In Forex mode, look for pairs where the Base currency is "STRONG" and the Quote currency is "WEAK" (or "EXT. STRONG" / "EXT. WEAK") for a long position.
Short Position: Reverse the above (Base: WEAK, Quote: STRONG).

Regime Filter [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
Regime Filter is a dual-factor trend condition tool combining price trend momentum and volume expansion into a single, easy-to-read visual framework. It quantifies recent trend direction and volume shifts, then shows them as:
Two oscillator plots for Trend and Volume regimes
Dynamic candle coloring for trend clarity
A quadrant scatter map in your chart corner for immediate regime recognition.
This filter helps traders quickly detect when a trend is healthy & confirmed by strong volume, or weakening & vulnerable due to low volume.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Trend Oscillator: A loop-based trend value calculated by comparing the current smoothed price (HMA of HLC3) against its own trailing history. Positive values indicate trend-up regimes, negative values signal trend-down phases.
Volume Oscillator: Similar loop logic but on smoothed volume (HMA of Volume) — highlighting whether trading activity is expanding or contracting relative to past bars.
hma = ta.hma(hlc3, 15)
vol = ta.hma(volume, 15)
for i = 0 to len
if hma > hma
trend += 1
else
trend -= 1
for i = 0 to len
if vol > vol
voltrend += 1
else
voltrend -= 1
Regime Map Scatter Plot: A unique 2D quadrant displayed in the bottom-right corner. This shows where the market is sitting:
> Top Right (green): Trend ↑ and Volume ↑ → strong confirmed up trend.
> Top Left (red): Trend ↓ but Volume ↑ → strong sell momentum.
> Bottom Right (blue): Trend ↑ but Volume ↓ → uptrend losing steam.
> Bottom Left (yellow): Trend ↓ and Volume ↓ → weak bearish drift.
Dynamic Candle Coloring: Candles are colored by trend only: green for uptrends, red for downtrends, and orange near reversals.
Threshold Fills: The oscillator region is shaded green above +10 (healthy uptrend) and red below -10 (strong downtrend) for instant confidence.
🔵 FEATURES
Normalized trend and volume values adapt automatically to your lookback length.
Candlestick color overrides highlight current trend state in real-time.
Clear zero-line and fill bands help you gauge strength vs. noise.
Scatter regime dashboard updates live to track when trend and volume align or decouple.
Color gradients show intensification or cooling in both oscillators and the regime map.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Look for sustained positive trend and volume values to confirm strong directional moves.
Watch for the scatter dot in the green square (top right) for high-confidence breakouts.
If the dot drops to bottom right, uptrend may be tiring — possible exit zone.
If the dot jumps top left, bearish drive is reinforced by heavy volume — caution on longs.
Use the orange trend coloring as an early warning that trend pressure may be shifting.
Combine with breakout levels or moving averages for a robust regime filter system.
🔵 CONCLUSION
The Regime Filter distills price trend and volume dynamics into an actionable multi-mode display: oscillators, color-coded candles, and an intuitive scatter map. This all-in-one layout helps traders visually read market regime strength and spot fading trends before they turn — perfect for swing traders, intraday scalpers, and macro trend followers alike.
Keltner Hull Suite [QuantAlgo]🟢 Overview
The Keltner Hull Suite combines Hull Moving Average positioning with double-smoothed True Range banding to identify trend regimes and filter market noise. The indicator establishes upper and lower volatility bounds around the Hull MA, with the trend line conditionally updating only when price violates these boundaries. This mechanism distinguishes between genuine directional shifts and temporary price fluctuations, providing traders and investors with a systematic framework for trend identification that adapts to changing volatility conditions across multiple timeframes and asset classes.
🟢 How It Works
The calculation foundation begins with the Hull Moving Average, a weighted moving average designed to minimize lag while maintaining smoothness:
hullMA = ta.hma(priceSource, hullPeriod)
The indicator then calculates true range and applies dual exponential smoothing to create a volatility measure that responds more quickly to volatility changes than traditional ATR implementations while maintaining stability through the double-smoothing process:
tr = ta.tr(true)
smoothTR = ta.ema(tr, keltnerPeriod)
doubleSmooth = ta.ema(smoothTR, keltnerPeriod)
deviation = doubleSmooth * keltnerMultiplier
Dynamic support and resistance boundaries are constructed by applying the multiplier-scaled volatility deviation to the Hull MA, creating upper and lower bounds that expand during volatile periods and contract during consolidation:
upperBound = hullMA + deviation
lowerBound = hullMA - deviation
The trend line employs a conditional update mechanism that prevents premature trend reversals. The system maintains the current trend line until price action violates the respective boundary, at which point the trend line snaps to the violated bound:
if upperBound < trendLine
trendLine := upperBound
if lowerBound > trendLine
trendLine := lowerBound
Directional bias determination compares the current trend line value against its previous value, establishing bullish conditions when rising and bearish conditions when falling. Signal generation occurs on state transitions, triggering alerts when the trend state shifts from neutral or opposite direction:
trendUp = trendLine > trendLine
trendDown = trendLine < trendLine
longSignal = trendState == 1 and trendState != 1
shortSignal = trendState == -1 and trendState != -1
The visualization layer creates a trend band by plotting both the current trend line and a two-bar shifted version, with the area between them filled to create a visual channel that reinforces directional conviction.
🟢 How to Use This Indicator
▶ Long and Short Signals: The indicator generates long/buy signals when the trend state transitions to bullish (trend line begins rising) and short/sell signals when transitioning to bearish (trend line begins falling). These state changes represent structural shifts in momentum where price has broken through the adaptive volatility bands, confirming directional commitment.
▶ Trend Band Dynamics: The spacing between the main trend line and its shifted counterpart creates a visual band whose width reflects trend strength and momentum consistency. Expanding bands indicate accelerating directional movement and strong trend persistence, while contracting or flattening bands suggest decelerating momentum, potential trend exhaustion, or impending consolidation. Monitoring band width provides early warning of regime transitions from trending to range-bound conditions.
▶ Preconfigured Presets: Three optimized parameter sets accommodate different trading styles and timeframes. Default (14, 20, 2.0) provides balanced trend identification suitable for daily charts and swing trading, Fast Response (10, 14, 1.5) delivers aggressive signal generation optimized for intraday scalping and momentum trading on 1-15 minute timeframes, while Smooth Trend (18, 30, 2.5) offers conservative trend confirmation ideal for position trading on 4-hour to daily charts with enhanced noise filtration.
▶ Built-in Alerts: Three alert conditions enable automated monitoring - Bullish Trend Signal triggers on long setup confirmation, Bearish Trend Signal activates on short setup confirmation, and Trend Change alerts on any directional transition. These notifications allow you to respond to regime shifts without continuous chart monitoring.
▶ Color Customization: Five visual themes (Classic, Aqua, Cosmic, Ember, Neon, plus Custom) accommodate different chart backgrounds and display preferences, ensuring optimal contrast and visual clarity across trading environments.
MACD Momentum Structure & Volume Profile Sniper [MTF]**Description and Methodology**
This script offers a unique approach to Market Structure by moving away from traditional fractal-based highs and lows (which can be noisy). Instead, it utilizes **MACD Momentum Swings** to identify significant structural points, combined with an automated Fixed Range Volume Profile to pinpoint high-probability entry zones.
**1. Why MACD Structure? (The Core Concept)**
Traditional "ZigZag" or Fractal indicators rely solely on price action, often leading to fake-outs during low-volume consolidation.
* This script defines a "Swing High" only when the MACD Histogram crosses below zero (Momentum shifts Bearish).
* This script defines a "Swing Low" only when MACD crosses above zero (Momentum shifts Bullish).
By linking structure to momentum, we filter out weak price movements and focus on the true "heartbeat" of the trend.
**2. The "Mashup" Synergy: Structure + Volume + Logic**
This is not a random combination of indicators. Each component serves a specific step in the trading execution sequence:
* **Step 1 (Structure):** The script identifies a Change of Character (CHoCH) based on the MACD peaks described above.
* **Step 2 (Liquidity/Value):** When a CHoCH occurs, the script *automatically* draws a **Fixed Range Volume Profile (FRVP)** specifically covering the impulse leg that caused the break. This reveals the "Point of Control" (POC)—the hidden price level where the most volume occurred during the move.
* **Step 3 (The Sniper Entry):** The script creates a "Zone" around that POC. It then waits for Price to retrace into this zone.
* **Step 4 (Confirmation):** Once the zone is touched, the script monitors a lower timeframe (User selectable, default M1) for a fresh MACD crossover to trigger the final entry signal.
**Features**
* **Multi-Timeframe Dashboard:** Monitor the MACD Trend direction across 4 different timeframes simultaneously.
* **Dynamic Trendlines:** Automatically connects confirmed MACD peaks to visualize trend integrity.
* **Fibo Time Zones:** Projects potential future pivot points based on the duration of the previous swing.
* **Alert System:** Integrated alerts for Zone Touches and "Sniper" entries (Zone Touch + LTF Momentum Confirmation).
**How to Use**
1. **Identify Trend:** Look for the CHoCH labels. Green indicates a shift to Bullish, Red to Bearish.
2. **Wait for Pullback:** Do not chase the break. Wait for price to return to the Yellow POC Zone generated by the Volume Profile.
3. **Entry Trigger:** Watch for the "BUY" or "SELL" marks. These appear only when price hits the zone AND the lower-timeframe momentum aligns with the trade direction.
**Settings & Inputs**
* **Global MACD:** Adjust the sensitivity of the swing detection (Default 12, 26, 9).
* **Sniper Entry:** Select the timeframe used for the final confirmation (e.g., use M1 confirmation for an H1 chart structure).
* **VP Settings:** Customize how the Volume Profile looks on the chart.

The Alchemist's Trend [wjdtks255]📊 The Alchemist's Trend - Filtered Trading Guide
This indicator, named The Alchemist's Trend, is a High-Confidence Trend-Following Strategy designed to maximize reliability. It generates a final entry signal only when the QQE (Quantitative Qualitative Estimation) momentum signal is validated by four robust filters: Long-Term Trend (MA200), Mid-Term Trend (HMA), Momentum Strength (CCI), and Higher Timeframe (HTF) Trend.
1. Indicator Mechanism and Core Components
A. Chart Visualization and Trend Identification
Trend Line (HMA): Appears as a Yellow or Purple Thick Line. It represents the direction of the current short/mid-term market trend. Candle colors follow this line.
MA 200: Appears as a Dotted Line (color configurable in settings). It is the Long-Term Trend Line. Price above it suggests a long-term bullish view; below it, a long-term bearish view.
Candle Background: Appears as Light Yellow or Purple. It matches the Trend Line direction, providing a visual cue of the trend's strength.
B. The Four-Filter System
For a confirmed entry signal ('L' or 'S') to fire, the following four conditions must all align in the same direction:
QQE (Momentum Base): Generates the primary Long/Short crossover signal.
MA & HMA (Trend Alignment):
For Long Entries: Price must be above both the MA200 and the HMA Trend Line.
For Short Entries: Price must be below both the MA200 and the HMA Trend Line.
CCI (Momentum Strengthening):
For Long Entries: CCI value must be above +50. (Confirms strong buying momentum)
For Short Entries: CCI value must be below -50. (Confirms strong selling momentum)
HTF (Higher Timeframe Trend): Checks if the price on the set higher timeframe (default 4H) is above its own Trend Line, confirming alignment with the broader market direction.
2. Trading Strategy and Usage Rules
This indicator aims to maximize signal reliability over frequency.
🔔 Entry Rule
Enter a trade only when the 'L' or 'S' label appears on the chart AND the Action panel on the dashboard displays LONG SIGNAL or SHORT SIGNAL.
Long Entry (L):
Condition: 'L' label appears (All Long conditions met).
Verification: Confirm the Trend Line and candle color are in the yellow range.
Short Entry (S):
Condition: 'S' label appears (All Short conditions met).
Verification: Confirm the Trend Line and candle color are in the purple range.
🛡️ Risk and Position Management
Stop-Loss (SL): A common practice is to place the Stop-Loss below the low of the signal candle (for Long) or above the high of the signal candle (for Short), or beyond a recent significant support/resistance level.
Exit Strategy (Three Options):
Opposite Signal: Close the position immediately if the opposite signal ('S' during a Long, or 'L' during a Short) occurs.
RSI Extremes: Consider taking partial profits if the RSI reaches 70 (for Long) or 30 (for Short), indicating potential exhaustion.
Trend Line Crossover: Exit the position if the price breaks or crosses the Trend Line, causing the candle color to change.
🖥️ Dashboard Utilization Tips
The dashboard provides contextual information to validate the signal:
RSI: Signals occurring within the neutral 30-70 zone suggest a stronger developing trend. If near 70/30, consider the risk of reversal.
Vol Status ('High'): If the volume status is 'High' when the signal fires, the signal's power is likely high, indicating a higher probability of significant movement.
Day High/Low: Use these values as a secondary reference for setting initial Stop-Loss or Take-Profit targets.
HL/LH Confirmation Strategy (Clean Market Structure)🚦 HL/LH Confirmation Strategy (Clean Market Structure)
This indicator is specifically designed to help traders identify a clean market structure by tracking the formation of Higher Lows (HL) and Lower Highs (LH). Rather than chasing new price extremes (new Highs or new Lows), the focus is on waiting for trend strength confirmation before considering an entry.
Key Strategy: Waiting for Trend Confirmation 💡
The core advantage of this indicator lies in its confirmation strategy:
For Uptrends (Bullish): The indicator doesn't signal just any low, but only when it detects a Higher Low (HL)—a low that is higher than the previous low. This is a crucial sign that the market has defended a level and is ready to continue moving up. This approach helps avoid chasing new lows and encourages entering trades after confirmation.
For Downtrends (Bearish): Similarly, the indicator looks for the formation of a Lower High (LH)—a high that is lower than the previous high. This suggests that buyers failed to breach the last resistance, signaling a potential continuation of the downside movement.
The indicator alternates between looking for an HL, then an LH, then an HL, visually mapping the Pivot swings and highlighting the moment of trend confirmation for potential trade entries.
Indicator Features ✨
Clear Structure Display: By drawing connecting lines between valid HL and LH points, the indicator visually maps the current market structure.
Pivot Detection: It uses an effective method for Pivot detection, with the sensitivity adjustable via the "Pivot Left" and "Pivot Right" parameters.
Custom Label Placement (Crucial Detail):
HL Label: Placed below the candle for better visual clarity of the bullish support area.
LH Label: Placed above the candle for better visual clarity of the bearish resistance area.
Customizable Colors: Full control over the background and text colors for HL and LH signals, as well as the thickness and color of the connecting lines between Pivot points.
⚙️ Input Parameters
Pivot Settings
Pivot Left / Pivot Right: Determine the number of bars to the left and right that must have lower/higher prices for a point to be declared a valid Pivot (Pivot High or Pivot Low). Increase these values to detect more significant, longer-term swings.
Signal Colors
HL Background/Text Color: Colors for the background and text of the Higher Low (HL) labels.
LH Background/Text Color: Colors for the background and text of the Lower High (LH) labels.
Line Settings
Line Color / Line Width: Allows customization of the appearance of the line connecting the detected HL and LH points.
Recommended Use
This indicator is ideal for traders practicing Price Action and strategies based on Market Structure. Use the HL signals as potential zones for long entries (buying) in an uptrend, and LH signals as zones for short entries (selling) in a downtrend, always after the point formation is confirmed.
Echo Chamber [theUltimator5]The Echo Chamber - When history repeats, maybe you should listen.
Ever had that eerie feeling you've seen this exact price action before? The Echo Chamber doesn't just give you déjà vu—it mathematically proves it, scales it, and projects what happened next.
📖 WHAT IT DOES
The Echo Chamber is an advanced pattern recognition tool that scans your chart's history to find segments that closely match your current price action. But here's where it gets interesting: it doesn't just find similar patterns - It expands and contracts the time window to create a uniquely scaled fractal. Patterns don't always follow the same timeframe, but they do follow similar patterns.
Using a custom correlation analysis algorithm combined with flexible time-scaling, this indicator:
Finds historical price segments that mirror your current market structure
Scales and overlays them perfectly onto your current chart
Projects forward what happened AFTER that historical match
Gives you a visual "echo" from the past with a glimpse into potential futures
══════════════════════════════
HOW TO USE IT
This indicator starts off in manual mode, which means that YOU, the user, can select the point in time that you want to project from. Simply click on a point in time to set the starting value.
Once you select your point in time, the indicator will automatically plot the chosen historical chart pattern and correlation over the current chart and project the price forwards based on how the chart looked in the past. If you want to change the point in time, you can update it from the settings, or drag the point on the chart over to a new position.
You can manually select any point in time, and the chart will quickly update with the new pattern. A correlation will be shown in a table alongside the date/timestamp of the selected point in time.
You can switch to auto mode, which will automatically search out the best-fit pattern over a defined lookback range and plot the past/future projection for you without having to manually select a point in time at all. It simply finds the best fit for you.
You can change the scale factor by adjusting multiplication and division variables to find time-scaled fractal patterns.
══════════════════════════════
🎯 KEY FEATURES
Two Operating Modes:
🔧 MANUAL MODE - Select any historical point and see how it correlates with current price action in real-time. Perfect for:
• Analyzing specific past events (crashes, rallies, consolidations)
• Testing historical patterns against current conditions
• Educational analysis of market structure repetition
🤖 AUTO MODE - It automatically scans through your lookback period to find the single best-correlated historical match. Ideal for:
• Quick pattern discovery
• Systematic trading approach
• Unbiased pattern recognition
Time Warp Technology:
The time warp feature expands and compresses the correlation window to provide a custom fractal so you can analyze windows of time that don't necessarily match the current chart.
💡 *Example: Multiplier=3, Divisor=2 gives you a 1.5x time stretch—perfect for finding patterns that played out 50% slower than current price action.*
Drawing Modes:
Scale Only : Pure vertical scaling—matches price range while maintaining temporal alignment at bar 0
Rotate & Scale : Advanced geometric transformation that anchors both the start AND end points, creating a rotated fit that matches your current segment's slope and range
Visual Components:
🟠 Orange Overlay : The historical match, perfectly scaled to your current price action
🟣 Purple Projection : What happened NEXT after that historical pattern (dotted line into the future)
📦 Highlight Boxes : Shows you exactly where in history these patterns came from
📊 Live Correlation Table : Real-time correlation coefficient with color-coded strength indicator
══════════════════════════════
⚙️ PARAMETERS EXPLAINED
Correlation Window Length (20) : How many bars to match. Smaller = more precise matches but noisier. Larger = broader patterns but fewer matches.
Note: if this value is too high in auto mode, the script may time out from computational overload.
Multiplication Factor : Historical time multiplier. 2 = sample every 2nd bar from history. Higher values find slower historical patterns.
Division Factor : Historical time divisor applied after multiplication. Final sample rate = (Length × Factor) ÷ Divisor, rounded down.
Lookback Range : How far back to search for patterns. More history = better chance of finding matches but slower performance.
Note: if this value is too high in auto mode, the script may time out from computational overload.
Future Projection Length : How many bars forward to project from the historical match. Your crystal ball's focal length.
══════════════════════════════
💼 TRADING APPLICATIONS
Trend Continuation/Reversal :
If the purple projection continues the current trend, that's your historical confirmation. If it reverses, you've found a potential turning point that's happened before under similar conditions.
Support/Resistance Validation :
Does the projection respect your S/R levels? History suggests those levels matter. Does it break through? You've found historical precedent for a breakout.
Time-Based Exits :
The projection shows not just WHERE price might go, but WHEN. Use it to anticipate timing of moves.
Multi-Timeframe Analysis :
Use time compression to overlay higher timeframe patterns onto lower timeframes. See daily patterns on hourly charts, weekly on daily, etc.
Pattern Education :
In Manual Mode, study how specific historical events correlate with current conditions. Build your pattern recognition library.
══════════════════════════════
📊 CORRELATION TABLE
The table shows your correlation coefficient as a percentage:
80-100%: Extremely strong correlation—history is practically repeating
60-80%: Strong correlation—significant similarity
40-60%: Moderate correlation—some structural similarity
20-40%: Weak correlation—limited similarity
0-20%: Very weak correlation—essentially random match
-20-40%: Weak inverse correlation
-40-60%: Moderate inverse correlation
-60-80%: Strong inverse correlation
-80-100%: Extremely strong inverse correlation—history is practically inverting
**Important**: The correlation measures SHAPE similarity, not price level. An 85% correlation means the price movements follow a very similar pattern, regardless of whether prices are higher or lower.
══════════════════════════════
⚠️ IMPORTANT DISCLAIMERS
- Past performance does NOT guarantee future results (but it sure is interesting to study)
- High correlation doesn't mean causation—markets are complex adaptive systems
- Use this as ONE tool in your analytical toolkit, not a standalone trading system
- The projection is what HAPPENED after a similar pattern in the past, not a prediction
- Always use proper risk management regardless of what the Echo Chamber suggests
══════════════════════════════
🎓 PRO TIPS
1. Start with Auto Mode to find high-correlation matches, then switch to Manual Mode to study why that period was similar
2. Experiment with time warping on different timeframes—a 2x factor on a daily chart lets you see weekly patterns
3. Watch for correlation decay —if correlation drops sharply after the match, current conditions are diverging from history
4. Combine with volume —check if volume patterns also match
5. Use "Rotate & Scale" mode when the current trend angle differs from the historical match
6. Increase lookback range to 500-1000+ on daily/weekly charts for finding rare historical parallels
══════════════════════════════
🔧 TECHNICAL NOTES
- Uses Pearson correlation coefficient for pattern matching
- Implements range-based scaling to normalize different price levels
- Rotation mode uses linear interpolation for geometric transformation
- All calculations are performed on close prices
- Boxes highlight actual historical bar ranges (high/low)
- Maximum of 500 lines and 500 boxes for performance optimization

📊 MARKET ANALYSIS & TRADING STRATEGIES
1. Support & Resistance Trading
POC as Key Level:
- Price tends to return to POC (magnetic effect)
- Strategy :
- When price is above POC → Look for pullbacks to POC for long entries
- When price is below POC → Look for rallies to POC for short entries
- POC acts as dynamic support/resistance
Value Area Trading:
- Inside Value Area (between VAH & VAL):
- Market is in balance/equilibrium
- Range-bound trading strategies
- Look for mean reversion
- Outside Value Area :
- Price accepted above VAH = Bullish breakout
- Price accepted below VAL = Bearish breakdown
- Trend-following strategies
Example Setup:
Price above VAH + Strong buying delta = Bullish trend
→ Wait for pullback to VAH
→ Enter long with stop below VAH
→ Target: Next HVN or previous session high
2. Volume Node Trading
High Volume Nodes (HVN):
- Characteristics : Strong support/resistance, consolidation zones
- Trading Strategy :
- Price approaching HVN from above → Potential support
- Price approaching HVN from below → Potential resistance
- Breakout from HVN → Strong momentum move
- Setup : Place limit orders at HVN boundaries
Low Volume Nodes (LVN):
- Characteristics : Low liquidity, fast price movement
- Trading Strategy :
- Price in LVN = Don't chase, wait for next HVN
- LVN breakout = Rapid moves, use wider stops
- Price rejection from LVN = Quick return to HVN
- Setup : Avoid placing stops in LVN zones
Example:
Price consolidating at HVN (yellow) near $50,000
→ Breakout above with volume
→ Fast move through LVN (orange) gap
→ Next target: Upper HVN at $51,500
3. Delta Analysis for Entry Timing
Strong Buying Delta (Green zones):
- Δ > +20% = Buyers in control
- Bullish Signal : Accumulation zone
- Strategy : Look for long entries on pullbacks
- Confirmation : Rising price + positive delta
Strong Selling Delta (Red zones):
- Δ < -20% = Sellers in control
- Bearish Signal : Distribution zone
- Strategy : Look for short entries on rallies
- Confirmation : Falling price + negative delta
Delta Divergence (Advanced):
- Bullish Divergence : Price making lower lows, but delta improving (less negative)
- Indicates selling pressure weakening
- Potential reversal signal
- Bearish Divergence : Price making higher highs, but delta weakening (less positive)
- Indicates buying pressure exhausting
- Potential reversal signal
4. Imbalance Zone Trading
Buy Imbalance (Bright Green):
- 70%+ buying pressure
- Interpretation :
- Potential exhaustion of buyers
- Smart money distribution
- Strategy :
- Look for reversal signals (bearish candles, resistance)
- Take profits on long positions
- Consider short entries with confirmation
Sell Imbalance (Bright Red):
- 70%+ selling pressure
- Interpretation :
- Potential exhaustion of sellers
- Smart money accumulation
- Strategy :
- Look for reversal signals (bullish candles, support)
- Take profits on short positions
- Consider long entries with confirmation
Example:
```
Price at VAH with 80% sell imbalance
→ Selling exhaustion likely
→ Wait for bullish reversal candle
→ Enter long with stop below VAL
```
5. Multi-Session Analysis
When "Separate Profiles Per Session" is enabled:
Session-Specific Levels:
- Each session creates its own POC and value area
- Compare sessions to identify:
- Where institutions accumulated/distributed
- Which levels each session respected
- Unfinished business from previous sessions
Trading Strategies:
A. Session POC Confluence
London POC: $49,500
NY POC: $49,550
→ Strong support zone at $49,500-$49,550
→ High probability long setup on pullback
B. Value Area Overlap
London VAH: $50,000
NY VAL: $49,800
→ Overlap creates strong consolidation zone
→ Breakout strategy: Enter on break above $50,000
C. Unfinished Business
London session rejected $51,000 (sell imbalance)
NY session hasn't tested this level yet
→ Watch for NY session to revisit $51,000
→ Potential reversal zone
D. Session Handoff
Tokyo session: Sideways, low volume
London session: Strong buying delta, break above VAH
NY session: Continuation or reversal?
→ Monitor NY open for direction confirmation
6. Market Profile Analysis
Profile Shape Interpretation:
A. P-Shape (Peak at Top)
- High volume at top of range
- Interpretation : Distribution, potential reversal down
- Strategy : Look for shorts at resistance
B. b-Shape (Peak at Bottom)
- High volume at bottom of range
- Interpretation : Accumulation, potential reversal up
- Strategy : Look for longs at support
C. D-Shape (Peak in Middle)
- Balanced profile, POC in center
- Interpretation : Equilibrium, neutral market
- Strategy : Range trading between VAH/VAL
D. Thin Profile (LVN Gap)
- Low volume throughout
- Interpretation : Trending market, little acceptance
- Strategy : Trend following, avoid counter-trend trades

🔧 TROUBLESHOOTING & OPTIMIZATION
If profiles look too compressed:
- Increase "Bins" to 40-50
- Reduce "LookBack" period
- Adjust "Horizontal Offset"
If too cluttered:
- Disable "Delta Labels"
- Disable "Volume Bars"
- Keep only POC and Value Area
- Use "Session Background Overlay" instead of separate profiles
For scalping (1-5 min):
- LookBack: 300-500 bars
- Bins: 20-30
- Enable separate session profiles
- Focus on imbalance zones
For swing trading (1H-4H):
- LookBack: 100-200 bars
- Bins: 25-35
- Focus on VAH/VAL and HVN
- Disable session features
For position trading (Daily):
- LookBack: 50-100 bars
- Bins: 30-40
- Focus on weekly/monthly POC
- Compare with previous week profiles
