Gyspy Bot Trade Engine - V1.2B - Strategy 12-7-25 - SignalLynxGypsy Bot Trade Engine (MK6 V1.2B) - Ultimate Strategy & Backtest
Brought to you by Signal Lynx | Automation for the Night-Shift Nation 🌙
1. Executive Summary & Architecture
Gypsy Bot (MK6 V1.2B) is not merely a strategy; it is a massive, modular Trade Engine built specifically for the TradingView Pine Script environment. While most strategies rely on a single dominant indicator (like an RSI cross or a MACD flip) to generate signals, Gypsy Bot functions as a sophisticated Consensus Algorithm.
The engine calculates data from up to 12 distinct Technical Analysis Modules simultaneously on every bar closing. It aggregates these signals into a "Vote Count" and only executes a trade entry when a user-defined threshold of concurring signals is met. This "Voting System" acts as a noise filter, requiring multiple independent mathematical models—ranging from volume flow and momentum to cyclical harmonics and trend strength—to agree on market direction before capital is committed.
Beyond entries, Gypsy Bot features a proprietary Risk Management suite called the Dump Protection Team (DPT). This logic layer operates independently of the entry modules, specifically scanning for "Moon" (Parabolic) or "Nuke" (Crash) volatility events to force-exit positions, overriding standard stops to preserve capital during Black Swan events.
2. ⚠️ The Philosophy of "Curve Fitting" (Must Read)
One must be careful when applying Gypsy Bot to new pairs or charts.
To be fully transparent: Gypsy Bot is, by definition, a very advanced curve-fitting engine. Because it grants the user granular control over 12 modules, dozens of thresholds, and specific voting requirements, it is extremely easy to "over-fit" the data. You can easily toggle switches until the backtest shows a 100% win rate, only to have the strategy fail immediately in live markets because it was tuned to historical noise rather than market structure.
To use this engine successfully, you must adopt a specific optimization mindset:
Ignore Raw Net Profit: Do not tune for the highest dollar amount. A strategy that makes $1M in the backtest but has a 40% drawdown is useless.
Prioritize Stability: Look for a high Profit Factor (1.5+), a high Percent Profitable, and a smooth equity curve.
Regular Maintenance is Mandatory: Markets shift regimes (e.g., from Bull Trend to Crab Range). Parameters that worked perfectly in 2021 may fail in 2024. Gypsy Bot settings should be reviewed and adjusted at regular intervals (e.g., quarterly) to ensure the voting logic remains aligned with current market volatility.
Timeframe Recommendations:
Gypsy Bot is optimized for High Time Frame (HTF) trend following. It generally produces the most reliable results on charts ranging from 1-Hour to 12-Hours, with the 4-Hour timeframe historically serving as the "sweet spot" for most major cryptocurrency assets.
3. The Voting Mechanism: How Entries Are Generated
The heart of the Gypsy Bot engine is the ActivateOrders input (found in the "Order Signal Modifier" settings).
The engine constantly monitors the output of all enabled Modules.
Long Votes: GoLongCount
Short Votes: GoShortCount
If you have 10 Modules enabled, and you set ActivateOrders to 7:
The engine will ONLY trigger a Buy Entry if 7 or more modules return a valid "Buy" signal on the same closed candle.
If only 6 modules agree, the trade is rejected.
This allows you to mix "Leading" indicators (Oscillators) with "Lagging" indicators (Moving Averages) to create a high-probability entry signal that requires momentum, volume, and trend to all be in alignment.
4. Technical Deep Dive: The 12 Modules
Gypsy Bot allows you to toggle the following modules On/Off individually to suit the asset you are trading.
Module 1: Modified Slope Angle (MSA)
Logic: Calculates the geometric angle of a moving average relative to the timeline.
Function: It filters out "lazy" trends. A trend is only considered valid if the slope exceeds a specific steepness threshold. This helps avoid entering trades during weak drifts that often precede a reversal.
Module 2: Correlation Trend Indicator (CTI)
Logic: Based on John Ehlers' work, this measures how closely the current price action correlates to a straight line (a perfect trend).
Function: It outputs a confidence score (-1 to 1). Gypsy Bot uses this to ensure that we are not just moving up, but moving up with high statistical correlation, reducing fake-outs.
Module 3: Ehlers Roofing Filter
Logic: A sophisticated spectral filter that combines a High-Pass filter (to remove long-term drift) with a Super Smoother (to remove high-frequency noise).
Function: It attempts to isolate the "Roof" of the price action. It is excellent at catching cyclical turning points before standard moving averages react.
Module 4: Forecast Oscillator
Logic: Uses Linear Regression forecasting to predict where price "should" be relative to where it is.
Function: When the Forecast Oscillator crosses its zero line, it indicates that the regression trend has flipped. We offer both "Aggressive" and "Conservative" calculation modes for this module.
Module 5: Chandelier ATR Stop
Logic: A volatility-based trend follower that hangs a "leash" (ATR multiple) from the highest high (for longs) or lowest low (for shorts).
Function: Used here as an entry filter. If price is above the Chandelier line, the trend is Bullish. It also includes a "Bull/Bear Qualifier" check to ensure structural support.
Module 6: Crypto Market Breadth (CMB)
Logic: This is a macro-filter. It pulls data from multiple major tickers (BTC, ETH, and Perpetual Contracts) across different exchanges.
Function: It calculates a "Market Health" percentage. If Bitcoin is rising but the rest of the market is dumping, this module can veto a trade, ensuring you don't buy into a "fake" rally driven by a single asset.
Module 7: Directional Index Convergence (DIC)
Logic: Analyzes the convergence/divergence between Fast and Slow Directional Movement indices.
Function: Identifies when trend strength is expanding. A buy signal is generated only when the positive directional movement overpowers the negative movement with expanding momentum.
Module 8: Market Thrust Indicator (MTI)
Logic: A volume-weighted breadth indicator. It uses Advance/Decline data and Up/Down Volume data.
Function: This is one of the most powerful modules. It confirms that price movement is supported by actual volume flow. We recommend using the "SSMA" (Super Smoother) MA Type for the cleanest signals on the 4H chart.
Module 9: Simple Ichimoku Cloud
Logic: Traditional Japanese trend analysis using the Tenkan-sen and Kijun-sen.
Function: Checks for a "Kumo Breakout." Price must be fully above the Cloud (for longs) or below it (for shorts). This is a classic "trend confirmation" module.
Module 10: Simple Harmonic Oscillator
Logic: Analyzes the harmonic wave properties of price action to detect cyclical tops and bottoms.
Function: Serves as a counter-trend or early-reversal detector. It tries to identify when a cycle has bottomed out (for buys) or topped out (for sells) before the main trend indicators catch up.
Module 11: HSRS Compression / Super AO
Logic: Two options in one.
HSRS: Hirashima Sugita Resistance Support. Detects volatility compression (squeezes) relative to dynamic support/resistance bands.
Super AO: A combination of the Awesome Oscillator and SuperTrend logic.
Function: Great for catching explosive moves that result from periods of low volatility (consolidation).
Module 12: Fisher Transform (MTF)
Logic: Converts price data into a Gaussian normal distribution.
Function: Identifies extreme price deviations. This module uses Multi-Timeframe (MTF) logic to look at higher-timeframe trends (e.g., looking at the Daily Fisher while trading the 4H chart) to ensure you aren't trading against the major trend.
5. Global Inhibitors (The Veto Power)
Even if 12 out of 12 modules vote "Buy," Gypsy Bot performs a final safety check using Global Inhibitors. If any of these are triggered, the trade is blocked.
Bitcoin Halving Logic:
Hardcoded dates for past and projected future Bitcoin halvings (up to 2040).
Trading is inhibited or restricted during the chaotic weeks immediately surrounding a Halving event to avoid volatility crushes.
Miner Capitulation:
Uses Hash Rate Ribbons (Moving averages of Hash Rate).
If miners are capitulating (Shutting down rigs due to unprofitability), the engine flags a "Bearish" regime and can flip logic to Short-only or flat.
ADX Filter (Flat Market Protocol):
If the Average Directional Index (ADX) is below a specific threshold (e.g., 20), the market is deemed "Flat/Choppy." The bot will refuse to open trend-following trades in a flat market.
CryptoCap Trend:
Checks the total Crypto Market Cap chart. If the broad market is in a downtrend, it can inhibit Long entries on individual altcoins.
6. Risk Management & The Dump Protection Team (DPT)
Gypsy Bot separates "Entry Logic" from "Risk Management Logic."
Dump Protection Team (DPT)
This is a specialized logic branch designed to save the account during Black Swan events.
Nuke Protection: If the DPT detects a volatility signature consistent with a flash crash, it overrides all other logic and forces an immediate exit.
Moon Protection: If a parabolic pump is detected that violates statistical probability (Bollinger deviations), DPT can force a profit take before the inevitable correction.
Advanced Adaptive Trailing Stop (AATS)
Unlike a static trailing stop (e.g., "trail by 5%"), AATS is dynamic.
Penthouse Level: If price is at the top of the HSRS channel (High Volatility), the stop loosens to allow for wicks.
Dungeon Level: If price is compressed at the bottom, the stop tightens to protect capital.
Staged Take Profits
TP1: Scalp a portion (e.g., 10%) to cover fees and secure a win.
TP2: Take the bulk of profit.
TP3: Leave a "Runner" position with a loose trailing stop to catch "Moon" moves.
7. Recommended Setup Guide
When applying Gypsy Bot to a new chart, follow this sequence:
Set Timeframe: 4 Hours (4H).
Reset: Turn OFF Trailing Stop, Stop Loss, and Take Profits. (We want to see raw entry performance first).
Tune DPT: Adjust "Dump/Moon Protection" inputs first. These have the highest impact on net performance.
Tune Module 8 (MTI): This module is a heavy filter. Experiment with the MA Type (SSMA is recommended).
Select Modules: Enable/Disable modules 1-12 based on the asset's personality (Trending vs. Ranging).
Voting Threshold: Adjust ActivateOrders. A lower number = More Trades (Aggressive). A higher number = Fewer, higher conviction trades (Conservative).
Final Polish: Re-enable Stop Losses, Trailing Stops, and Staged Take Profits to smooth the equity curve and define your max risk per trade.

Common Questions
"What if I miss Entry 1? Can I still take Entry 2?"
Yes! Each entry is independent. If you miss the 3→5 reclaim, wait for the 21 EMA bounce. You'll start with a 30% position instead of 20%, but that's fine.
Rule: Never chase. Wait for the next EMA setup.
"What if multiple entry signals trigger at the same bar?"
Rare, but possible. If you see both Entry 1 and Entry 2 trigger together:
Take Entry 1 first (20%)
If the next bar confirms Entry 2 is still valid, add 30%
When in doubt, scale in gradually
"The hyper frame is green but I'm seeing short signals?"
Don't take them. The hyper frame is your bias filter. If it says "go long," ignore short setups. They're usually lower probability and will get stopped out.
"Can I use this for swing trading overnight?"
Absolutely. Just switch your hyper frame:
If you're on Daily charts, use Weekly hyper frame
If you're on 4H charts, use Daily hyper frame
Adjust position sizes for overnight risk
"What if the signal appears right at market close?"
Don't chase it. Wait for the next bar (next day) to confirm. Signals that appear in the last 5 minutes are often noise.
"How do I set up alerts?"
Right-click on the chart
Select "Add Alert"
Choose "LazyEMA" from the condition dropdown
Select which signal you want alerts for:
Entry 1: 3→5 Reclaim
Entry 2: 21 EMA Add
Entry 3: 34 EMA Breakout
Exit 1: 89 EMA Break
Exit 2: 144 EMA Break
Click "Create"
Pro tip: Set up all 5 alerts so you never miss a signal.

The "Don't Be Stupid" Checklist
Before taking ANY signal from this script, ask:
✅ Is the hyper frame bias pointing in my direction?
✅ Is the signal clean (not at a weird time or during news)?
✅ Do I know my stop loss level?
✅ Do I know my position size?
✅ Can I afford to lose if this trade fails?
If you answered "no" to ANY of these, skip the trade.
Troubleshooting
"I'm not seeing any signals"
Possible causes:
The "Show Lazy Trader System" toggle is off (turn it on)
Your chart timeframe is too high (try 1H or 4H)
Market is in a tight range (EMAs are compressed)
You need to refresh the chart
"Too many signals, getting whipsawed"
Fixes:
Increase your chart timeframe (go from 15m to 1H)
Switch to a less volatile ticker
Only trade when hyper frame bias is STRONG (not neutral)
Add a minimum bar count between signals
"The info table is covering my price action"
Fix:
Edit the script
Find the line: table.new(position.top_right, ...
Change position.top_right to position.bottom_right or position.top_left
"Signals appear then disappear"
This is normal (repainting). Some signals (especially compression breakouts) can disappear if the next bar reverses. This is why you:
Wait for bar close before acting
Use alerts that only fire on confirmed bars
Don't chase signals mid-bar
Final Thoughts
This script is a decision-making tool, not a crystal ball. It shows you high-probability setups based on EMA dynamics and trend structure. You still need to:
Manage your risk
Choose your position size
Stick to the rules
Accept losses when they happen
The system works when YOU work the system.
Print this guide, tape it next to your monitor, and follow it religiously for 20 trades before making ANY changes.
Good luck, and stay lazy (the smart way).
Volatility Risk PremiumTHE INSURANCE PREMIUM OF THE STOCK MARKET
Every day, millions of investors face a fundamental question that has puzzled economists for decades: how much should protection against market crashes cost? The answer lies in a phenomenon called the Volatility Risk Premium, and understanding it may fundamentally change how you interpret market conditions.
Think of the stock market like a neighborhood where homeowners buy insurance against fire. The insurance company charges premiums based on their estimates of fire risk. But here is the interesting part: insurance companies systematically charge more than the actual expected losses. This difference between what people pay and what actually happens is the insurance premium. The same principle operates in financial markets, but instead of fire insurance, investors buy protection against market volatility through options contracts.
The Volatility Risk Premium, or VRP, measures exactly this difference. It represents the gap between what the market expects volatility to be (implied volatility, as reflected in options prices) and what volatility actually turns out to be (realized volatility, calculated from actual price movements). This indicator quantifies that gap and transforms it into actionable intelligence.
THE FOUNDATION
The academic study of volatility risk premiums began gaining serious traction in the early 2000s, though the phenomenon itself had been observed by practitioners for much longer. Three research papers form the backbone of this indicator's methodology.
Peter Carr and Liuren Wu published their seminal work "Variance Risk Premiums" in the Review of Financial Studies in 2009. Their research established that variance risk premiums exist across virtually all asset classes and persist over time. They documented that on average, implied volatility exceeds realized volatility by approximately three to four percentage points annualized. This is not a small number. It means that sellers of volatility insurance have historically collected a substantial premium for bearing this risk.
Tim Bollerslev, George Tauchen, and Hao Zhou extended this research in their 2009 paper "Expected Stock Returns and Variance Risk Premia," also published in the Review of Financial Studies. Their critical contribution was demonstrating that the VRP is a statistically significant predictor of future equity returns. When the VRP is high, meaning investors are paying substantial premiums for protection, future stock returns tend to be positive. When the VRP collapses or turns negative, it often signals that realized volatility has spiked above expectations, typically during market stress periods.
Gurdip Bakshi and Nikunj Kapadia provided additional theoretical grounding in their 2003 paper "Delta-Hedged Gains and the Negative Market Volatility Risk Premium." They demonstrated through careful empirical analysis why volatility sellers are compensated: the risk is not diversifiable and tends to materialize precisely when investors can least afford losses.
HOW THE INDICATOR CALCULATES VOLATILITY
The calculation begins with two separate measurements that must be compared: implied volatility and realized volatility.
For implied volatility, the indicator uses the CBOE Volatility Index, commonly known as the VIX. The VIX represents the market's expectation of 30-day forward volatility on the S&P 500, calculated from a weighted average of out-of-the-money put and call options. It is often called the "fear gauge" because it rises when investors rush to buy protective options.
Realized volatility requires more careful consideration. The indicator offers three distinct calculation methods, each with specific advantages rooted in academic literature.
The Close-to-Close method is the most straightforward approach. It calculates the standard deviation of logarithmic daily returns over a specified lookback period, then annualizes this figure by multiplying by the square root of 252, the approximate number of trading days in a year. This method is intuitive and widely used, but it only captures information from closing prices and ignores intraday price movements.
The Parkinson estimator, developed by Michael Parkinson in 1980, improves efficiency by incorporating high and low prices. The mathematical formula calculates variance as the sum of squared log ratios of daily highs to lows, divided by four times the natural logarithm of two, times the number of observations. This estimator is theoretically about five times more efficient than the close-to-close method because high and low prices contain additional information about the volatility process.
The Garman-Klass estimator, published by Mark Garman and Michael Klass in 1980, goes further by incorporating opening, high, low, and closing prices. The formula combines half the squared log ratio of high to low prices minus a factor involving the log ratio of close to open. This method achieves the minimum variance among estimators using only these four price points, making it particularly valuable for markets where intraday information is meaningful.
THE CORE VRP CALCULATION
Once both volatility measures are obtained, the VRP calculation is straightforward: subtract realized volatility from implied volatility. A positive result means the market is paying a premium for volatility insurance. A negative result means realized volatility has exceeded expectations, typically indicating market stress.
The raw VRP signal receives slight smoothing through an exponential moving average to reduce noise while preserving responsiveness. The default smoothing period of five days balances signal clarity against lag.
INTERPRETING THE REGIMES
The indicator classifies market conditions into five distinct regimes based on VRP levels.
The EXTREME regime occurs when VRP exceeds ten percentage points. This represents an unusual situation where the gap between implied and realized volatility is historically wide. Markets are pricing in significantly more fear than is materializing. Research suggests this often precedes positive equity returns as the premium normalizes.
The HIGH regime, between five and ten percentage points, indicates elevated risk aversion. Investors are paying above-average premiums for protection. This often occurs after market corrections when fear remains elevated but realized volatility has begun subsiding.
The NORMAL regime covers VRP between zero and five percentage points. This represents the long-term average state of markets where implied volatility modestly exceeds realized volatility. The insurance premium is being collected at typical rates.
The LOW regime, between negative two and zero percentage points, suggests either unusual complacency or that realized volatility is catching up to implied volatility. The premium is shrinking, which can precede either calm continuation or increased stress.
The NEGATIVE regime occurs when realized volatility exceeds implied volatility. This is relatively rare and typically indicates active market stress. Options were priced for less volatility than actually occurred, meaning volatility sellers are experiencing losses. Historically, deeply negative VRP readings have often coincided with market bottoms, though timing the reversal remains challenging.
TERM STRUCTURE ANALYSIS
Beyond the basic VRP calculation, sophisticated market participants analyze how volatility behaves across different time horizons. The indicator calculates VRP using both short-term (default ten days) and long-term (default sixty days) realized volatility windows.
Under normal market conditions, short-term realized volatility tends to be lower than long-term realized volatility. This produces what traders call contango in the term structure, analogous to futures markets where later delivery dates trade at premiums. The RV Slope metric quantifies this relationship.
When markets enter stress periods, the term structure often inverts. Short-term realized volatility spikes above long-term realized volatility as markets experience immediate turmoil. This backwardation condition serves as an early warning signal that current volatility is elevated relative to historical norms.
The academic foundation for term structure analysis comes from Scott Mixon's 2007 paper "The Implied Volatility Term Structure" in the Journal of Derivatives, which documented the predictive power of term structure dynamics.
MEAN REVERSION CHARACTERISTICS
One of the most practically useful properties of the VRP is its tendency to mean-revert. Extreme readings, whether high or low, tend to normalize over time. This creates opportunities for systematic trading strategies.
The indicator tracks VRP in statistical terms by calculating its Z-score relative to the trailing one-year distribution. A Z-score above two indicates that current VRP is more than two standard deviations above its mean, a statistically unusual condition. Similarly, a Z-score below negative two indicates VRP is unusually low.
Mean reversion signals trigger when VRP reaches extreme Z-score levels and then shows initial signs of reversal. A buy signal occurs when VRP recovers from oversold conditions (Z-score below negative two and rising), suggesting that the period of elevated realized volatility may be ending. A sell signal occurs when VRP contracts from overbought conditions (Z-score above two and falling), suggesting the fear premium may be excessive and due for normalization.
These signals should not be interpreted as standalone trading recommendations. They indicate probabilistic conditions based on historical patterns. Market context and other factors always matter.
MOMENTUM ANALYSIS
The rate of change in VRP carries its own information content. Rapidly rising VRP suggests fear is building faster than volatility is materializing, often seen in the early stages of corrections before realized volatility catches up. Rapidly falling VRP indicates either calming conditions or rising realized volatility eating into the premium.
The indicator tracks VRP momentum as the difference between current VRP and VRP from a specified number of bars ago. Positive momentum with positive acceleration suggests strengthening risk aversion. Negative momentum with negative acceleration suggests intensifying stress or rapid normalization from elevated levels.
PRACTICAL APPLICATION
For equity investors, the VRP provides context for risk management decisions. High VRP environments historically favor equity exposure because the market is pricing in more pessimism than typically materializes. Low or negative VRP environments suggest either reducing exposure or hedging, as markets may be underpricing risk.
For options traders, understanding VRP is fundamental to strategy selection. Strategies that sell volatility, such as covered calls, cash-secured puts, or iron condors, tend to profit when VRP is elevated and compress toward its mean. Strategies that buy volatility tend to profit when VRP is low and risk materializes.
For systematic traders, VRP provides a regime filter for other strategies. Momentum strategies may benefit from different parameters in high versus low VRP environments. Mean reversion strategies in VRP itself can form the basis of a complete trading system.
LIMITATIONS AND CONSIDERATIONS
No indicator provides perfect foresight, and the VRP is no exception. Several limitations deserve attention.
The VRP measures a relationship between two estimates, each subject to measurement error. The VIX represents expectations that may prove incorrect. Realized volatility calculations depend on the chosen method and lookback period.
Mean reversion tendencies hold over longer time horizons but provide limited guidance for short-term timing. VRP can remain extreme for extended periods, and mean reversion signals can generate losses if the extremity persists or intensifies.
The indicator is calibrated for equity markets, specifically the S&P 500. Application to other asset classes requires recalibration of thresholds and potentially different data sources.
Historical relationships between VRP and subsequent returns, while statistically robust, do not guarantee future performance. Structural changes in markets, options pricing, or investor behavior could alter these dynamics.
STATISTICAL OUTPUTS
The indicator presents comprehensive statistics including current VRP level, implied volatility from VIX, realized volatility from the selected method, current regime classification, number of bars in the current regime, percentile ranking over the lookback period, Z-score relative to recent history, mean VRP over the lookback period, realized volatility term structure slope, VRP momentum, mean reversion signal status, and overall market bias interpretation.
Color coding throughout the indicator provides immediate visual interpretation. Green tones indicate elevated VRP associated with fear and potential opportunity. Red tones indicate compressed or negative VRP associated with complacency or active stress. Neutral tones indicate normal market conditions.
ALERT CONDITIONS
The indicator provides alerts for regime transitions, extreme statistical readings, term structure inversions, mean reversion signals, and momentum shifts. These can be configured through the TradingView alert system for real-time monitoring across multiple timeframes.

VV Moving Average Convergence Divergence # VMACDv3 - Volume-Weighted MACD with A/D Divergence Detection
## Overview
**VMACDv3** (Volume-Weighted Moving Average Convergence Divergence Version 3) is a momentum indicator that applies volume-weighting to traditional MACD calculations on price, while using the Accumulation/Distribution (A/D) line for divergence detection. This hybrid approach combines volume-weighted price momentum with volume distribution analysis for comprehensive market insight.
## Key Features
- **Volume-Weighted Price MACD**: Traditional MACD calculation on price but weighted by volume for earlier signals
- **A/D Divergence Detection**: Identifies when A/D trend diverges from MACD momentum
- **Volume Strength Filtering**: Distinguishes high-volume confirmations from low-volume noise
- **Color-Coded Histogram**: 4-color system showing momentum direction and volume strength
- **Real-Time Alerts**: Background colors and alert conditions for bullish/bearish divergences
## Difference from ACCDv3
| Aspect | VMACDv3 | ACCDv3 |
|--------|---------|---------|
| **MACD Input** | **Price (Close)** | **A/D Line** |
| **Volume Weighting** | Applied to price | Applied to A/D line |
| **Primary Signal** | Volume-weighted price momentum | Volume distribution momentum |
| **Use Case** | Price momentum with volume confirmation | Volume flow and accumulation/distribution |
| **Sensitivity** | More responsive to price changes | More responsive to volume patterns |
| **Best For** | Trend following, breakouts | Volume analysis, smart money tracking |
**Key Insight**: VMACDv3 shows *where price is going* with volume weight, while ACCDv3 shows *where volume is accumulating/distributing*.
## Components
### 1. Volume-Weighted MACD on Price
Unlike standard MACD that uses simple price EMAs, VMACDv3 weights each price by its corresponding volume:
```
Fast Line = EMA(Price × Volume, 12) / EMA(Volume, 12)
Slow Line = EMA(Price × Volume, 26) / EMA(Volume, 26)
MACD = Fast Line - Slow Line
```
**Benefits of Volume Weighting**:
- High-volume price movements have greater impact
- Filters out low-volume noise and false moves
- Provides earlier trend change signals
- Better reflects institutional activity
### 2. Accumulation/Distribution (A/D) Line
Used for divergence detection, measuring buying/selling pressure:
```
A/D = Σ ((2 × Close - Low - High) / (High - Low)) × Volume
```
- **Rising A/D**: Accumulation (buying pressure)
- **Falling A/D**: Distribution (selling pressure)
- **Doji Handling**: When High = Low, contribution is zero
### 3. Signal Lines
- **MACD Line** (Blue, #2962FF): The fast-slow difference showing momentum
- **Signal Line** (Orange, #FF6D00): EMA or SMA smoothing of MACD
- **Zero Line**: Reference for bullish (above) vs bearish (below) bias
### 4. Histogram Color System
The histogram uses 4 distinct colors based on **direction** and **volume strength**:
| Condition | Color | Meaning |
|-----------|-------|---------|
| Rising + High Volume | **Dark Green** (#1B5E20) | Strong bullish momentum with volume confirmation |
| Rising + Low Volume | **Light Teal** (#26A69A) | Bullish momentum but weak volume (less reliable) |
| Falling + High Volume | **Dark Red** (#B71C1C) | Strong bearish momentum with volume confirmation |
| Falling + Low Volume | **Light Pink** (#FFCDD2) | Bearish momentum but weak volume (less reliable) |
Additional shading:
- **Light Cyan** (#B2DFDB): Positive but not rising (momentum stalling)
- **Bright Red** (#FF5252): Negative and accelerating down
### 5. Divergence Detection
VMACDv3 compares A/D trend against volume-weighted price MACD:
#### Bullish Divergence (Green Background)
- **Condition**: A/D is trending up BUT MACD is negative and trending down
- **Interpretation**: Volume is accumulating while price momentum appears weak
- **Signal**: Smart money accumulation, potential bullish reversal
- **Action**: Look for long entries, especially at support levels
#### Bearish Divergence (Red Background)
- **Condition**: A/D is trending down BUT MACD is positive and trending up
- **Interpretation**: Volume is distributing while price momentum appears strong
- **Signal**: Smart money distribution, potential bearish reversal
- **Action**: Consider exits, avoid new longs, watch for breakdown
## Parameters
| Parameter | Default | Range | Description |
|-----------|---------|-------|-------------|
| **Source** | Close | OHLC/HLC3/etc | Price source for MACD calculation |
| **Fast Length** | 12 | 1-50 | Period for fast EMA (shorter = more sensitive) |
| **Slow Length** | 26 | 1-100 | Period for slow EMA (longer = smoother) |
| **Signal Smoothing** | 9 | 1-50 | Period for signal line (MACD smoothing) |
| **Signal Line MA Type** | EMA | SMA/EMA | Moving average type for signal calculation |
| **Volume MA Length** | 20 | 5-100 | Period for volume average (strength filter) |
## Usage Guide
### Reading the Indicator
1. **MACD Lines (Blue & Orange)**
- **Blue Line (MACD)**: Volume-weighted price momentum
- **Orange Line (Signal)**: Smoothed trend of MACD
- **Crossovers**: Blue crosses above orange = bullish, below = bearish
- **Distance**: Wider gap = stronger momentum
- **Zero Line Position**: Above = bullish bias, below = bearish bias
2. **Histogram Colors**
- **Dark Green (#1B5E20)**: Strong bullish move with high volume - **most reliable buy signal**
- **Light Teal (#26A69A)**: Bullish but low volume - wait for confirmation
- **Dark Red (#B71C1C)**: Strong bearish move with high volume - **most reliable sell signal**
- **Light Pink (#FFCDD2)**: Bearish but low volume - may be temporary dip
3. **Background Divergence Alerts**
- **Green Background**: A/D accumulating while price weak - potential bottom
- **Red Background**: A/D distributing while price strong - potential top
- Most powerful at key support/resistance levels
### Trading Strategies
#### Strategy 1: Volume-Confirmed Trend Following
1. Wait for MACD to cross above zero line
2. Look for **dark green** histogram bars (high volume confirmation)
3. Enter long on second consecutive dark green bar
4. Hold while histogram remains green
5. Exit when histogram turns light green or red appears
6. Set stop below recent swing low
**Example**:
```
Price: 26,400 → 26,450 (rising)
MACD: -50 → +20 (crosses zero)
Histogram: Light teal → Dark green → Dark green
Volume: 50k → 75k → 90k (increasing)
```
#### Strategy 2: Divergence Reversal Trading
1. Identify divergence background (green = bullish, red = bearish)
2. Confirm with price structure (support/resistance, chart patterns)
3. Wait for MACD to cross signal line in divergence direction
4. Enter on first **dark colored** histogram bar after divergence
5. Set stop beyond divergence area
6. Target previous swing high/low
**Example - Bullish Divergence**:
```
Price: Making lower lows (26,350 → 26,300 → 26,250)
A/D: Rising (accumulation)
MACD: Below zero but starting to curve up
Background: Green shading appears
Entry: MACD crosses signal line + dark green bar
Stop: Below 26,230
Target: 26,450 (previous high)
```
#### Strategy 3: Momentum Scalping
1. Trade only in direction of MACD zero line (above = long, below = short)
2. Enter on dark colored bars only
3. Exit on first light colored bar or opposite color
4. Quick in and out (1-5 minute holds)
5. Tight stops (0.2-0.5% depending on instrument)
#### Strategy 4: Histogram Pattern Trading
**V-Bottom Reversal (Bullish)**:
- Red histogram bars start rising (becoming less negative)
- Forms "V" shape at the bottom
- Transitions to light red → light teal → **dark green**
- Entry: First dark green bar
- Signal: Momentum reversal with volume
**Λ-Top Reversal (Bearish)**:
- Green histogram bars start falling (becoming less positive)
- Forms inverted "V" at the top
- Transitions to light green → light pink → **dark red**
- Entry: First dark red bar
- Signal: Momentum exhaustion with volume
### Multi-Timeframe Analysis
**Recommended Approach**:
1. **Higher Timeframe (15m/1h)**: Identify overall trend direction
2. **Trading Timeframe (5m)**: Time entries using VMACDv3 signals
3. **Lower Timeframe (1m)**: Fine-tune entry prices
**Example Setup**:
```
15-minute: MACD above zero (bullish bias)
5-minute: Dark green histogram appears after pullback
1-minute: Enter on break of recent high with volume
```
### Volume Strength Interpretation
The volume filter compares current volume to 20-period average:
- **Volume > Average**: Dark colors (green/red) - high confidence signals
- **Volume < Average**: Light colors (teal/pink) - lower confidence signals
**Trading Rules**:
- ✓ **Aggressive**: Take all dark colored signals
- ✓ **Conservative**: Only take dark colors that follow 2+ light colors of same type
- ✗ **Avoid**: Trading light colored signals during high volatility
- ✗ **Avoid**: Ignoring volume context during news events
## Technical Details
### Volume-Weighted Calculation
```pine
// Volume-weighted fast EMA
fast_ma = ta.ema(src * volume, fast_length) / ta.ema(volume, fast_length)
// Volume-weighted slow EMA
slow_ma = ta.ema(src * volume, slow_length) / ta.ema(volume, slow_length)
// MACD is the difference
macd = fast_ma - slow_ma
// Signal line smoothing
signal = ta.ema(macd, signal_length) // or ta.sma() if SMA selected
// Histogram
hist = macd - signal
```
### Divergence Detection Logic
```pine
// A/D trending up if above its 5-period SMA
ad_trend = ad > ta.sma(ad, 5)
// MACD trending up if above zero
macd_trend = macd > 0
// Divergence when trends oppose each other
divergence = ad_trend != macd_trend
// Specific conditions for alerts
bullish_divergence = ad_trend and not macd_trend and macd < 0
bearish_divergence = not ad_trend and macd_trend and macd > 0
```
### Histogram Coloring Logic
```pine
hist_color = (hist >= 0
? (hist < hist
? (vol_strength ? #1B5E20 : #26A69A) // Rising: dark/light green
: #B2DFDB) // Positive but falling: cyan
: (hist < hist
? (vol_strength ? #B71C1C : #FFCDD2) // Rising (less negative): dark/light red
: #FF5252)) // Falling more: bright red
```

## Best Practices
### Entry Rules
✓ **Wait for dark colors**: High-volume confirmation is key
✓ **Confirm divergences**: Use with price support/resistance
✓ **Trade with zero line**: Long above, short below for best odds
✓ **Multiple timeframes**: Align 1m, 5m, 15m signals
✓ **Watch for patterns**: V-bottoms and Λ-tops are reliable
### Exit Rules
✓ **Partial profits**: Take 50% at first target
✓ **Trail stops**: Use histogram color changes
✓ **Respect signals**: Exit on opposite dark color
✓ **Time stops**: Close positions before major news
✓ **End of day**: Square up before close
### Avoid
✗ **Don't chase light colors**: Low volume = low confidence
✗ **Don't ignore divergence**: Early warning system
✗ **Don't overtrade**: Wait for clear setups
✗ **Don't fight the trend**: Zero line dictates bias
✗ **Don't skip stops**: Always use risk management
## Risk Management
### Position Sizing
- **Dark green/red signals**: 1-2% account risk
- **Light signals**: 0.5% account risk or skip
- **Divergence plays**: 1% account risk (higher uncertainty)
- **Multiple confirmations**: Up to 2% account risk
### Stop Loss Placement
- **Trend trades**: Below/above recent swing (20-30 points typical)
- **Breakout trades**: Below/above breakout level (15-25 points)
- **Divergence trades**: Beyond divergence extreme (25-40 points)
- **Scalp trades**: Tight stops at 10-15 points
### Profit Targets
- **Minimum**: 1.5:1 reward to risk ratio
- **Scalps**: 15-25 points (quick in/out)
- **Swing**: 50-100 points (hold through pullbacks)
- **Runners**: Trail with histogram color changes
## Timeframe Recommendations
| Timeframe | Trading Style | Typical Hold | Advantages | Challenges |
|-----------|---------------|--------------|------------|------------|
| **1-minute** | Scalping | 1-5 minutes | Fast profits, many setups | Noisy, high false signals |
| **5-minute** | Intraday | 15-60 minutes | Balance of speed/clarity | Still requires quick decisions |
| **15-minute** | Swing | 1-4 hours | Clearer trends, less noise | Fewer opportunities |
| **1-hour** | Position | 4-24 hours | Strong signals, less monitoring | Wider stops required |
**Recommendation**: Start with 5-minute for best balance of signal quality and opportunity frequency.
## Combining with Other Indicators
### VMACDv3 + ACCDv3
- **Use**: Confirm volume flow with price momentum
- **Signal**: Both showing dark green = highest conviction long
- **Divergence**: VMACDv3 bullish + ACCDv3 bearish = examine price action
### VMACDv3 + RSI
- **Use**: Overbought/oversold with momentum confirmation
- **Signal**: RSI < 30 + dark green VMACD = strong reversal
- **Caution**: RSI > 70 + light green VMACD = potential false breakout
### VMACDv3 + Elder Impulse
- **Use**: Bar coloring + histogram confirmation
- **Signal**: Green Elder bars + dark green VMACD = aligned momentum
- **Exit**: Blue Elder bars + light colors = momentum stalling
## Limitations
- **Requires volume data**: Will not work on instruments without volume feed
- **Lagging indicator**: MACD inherently follows price (2-3 bar delay)
- **Consolidation noise**: Generates false signals in tight ranges
- **Gap handling**: Large gaps can distort volume-weighted values
- **Not standalone**: Should combine with price action and support/resistance
## Troubleshooting
**Problem**: Too many light colored signals
**Solution**: Increase Volume MA Length to 30-40 for stricter filtering
**Problem**: Missing entries due to waiting for dark colors
**Solution**: Lower Volume MA Length to 10-15 for more signals (accept lower quality)
**Problem**: Divergences not appearing
**Solution**: Verify volume data available; check if A/D line is calculating
**Problem**: Histogram colors not changing
**Solution**: Ensure real-time data feed; refresh indicator
## Version History
- **v3**: Removed traditional MACD, using volume-weighted MACD on price with A/D divergence
- **v2**: Added A/D divergence detection, volume strength filtering, enhanced histogram colors
- **v1**: Basic volume-weighted MACD on price
## Related Indicators
**Companion Tools**:
- **ACCDv3**: Volume-weighted MACD on A/D line (distribution focus)
- **RSIv2**: RSI with A/D divergence detection
- **DMI**: Directional Movement Index with A/D divergence
- **Elder Impulse**: Bar coloring system using volume-weighted MACD
**Use Together**: VMACDv3 (momentum) + ACCDv3 (distribution) + Elder Impulse (bar colors) = complete volume-based trading system

SYXX - HTF Candle Overlay
This script, titled "HTF Candle Overlay by SYXX," is designed to visualize the full range and structure of a higher-timeframe (HTF) candle directly onto a lower-timeframe chart. It helps traders maintain context by showing where the current price action sits relative to a much larger candle's boundaries. Combined with LuxAlgo Volume Node Profile.
1. 🔍 Primary Feature: Higher Timeframe Candle Projection
Configurable Timeframe: The user sets the desired HTF using the Interval input, which defaults to 'D' (Daily). The indicator then tracks the High, Low, Open, and Close of that HTF bar.
Live and Historical Drawing: The script uses box.new to draw boxes representing the candle's full range (High to Low).
Historical Boxes (if changeHTF): When a new HTF candle closes, the completed box for the previous period is drawn.
Live Box (if barstate.islast): The indicator draws a live, dynamic box for the current, incomplete HTF candle, which expands with every new High or Low on the lower chart.
2. 🎨 Visualization & Customization
Color-Coded Bias: The boxes are colored based on the HTF candle's direction:
Bullish/Long (BgLong): Green color is used if the HTF candle closed higher than it opened (close > htfOpen).
Bearish/Short (BgShort): Red color is used if the HTF candle closed lower than it opened.
Box Styling: Users can customize the box's appearance, including border color and style, border thickness, and background opacity (BoxOpacity).
Midline: An optional MidLine is calculated as the average of the HTF High and Low, acting as a potential support/resistance reference point.
Range Display: The indicator can display the range of the box in pips (BoxRangePips) or the percentage of movement relative to the full range (BoxRangePercentage).
Time Labels: It plots time labels that show the start and end time of the completed HTF period (e.g., "07:00 - 11:00").
3. 🚨 Alert System (Placeholders)
The script includes placeholder inputs for standard trading alerts, though the internal logic for checking these conditions is currently commented out or set to false:
Alert: Break Above/Below Box: To signal a breakout of the HTF High or Low.
Alert: Price Re-Enters Box: To signal a pullback back into the range.
Options Scalper v2 - SPY/QQQHere's a comprehensive description of the Options Scalper v2 strategy:
---
## Options Scalper v2 - SPY/QQQ
### Overview
A multi-indicator confluence-based scalping strategy designed for trading SPY and QQQ options on short timeframes (1-5 minute charts). The strategy uses a scoring system to generate high-probability CALL and PUT signals by requiring alignment across multiple technical indicators before triggering entries.
---
### Core Logic
The strategy operates on a **scoring system (0-9 points)** where both bullish (CALL) and bearish (PUT) conditions are evaluated independently. A signal only fires when:
1. A recent EMA crossover occurred (within the last 3 bars)
2. The direction's score meets the minimum threshold (default: 4 points)
3. The signal's score is higher than the opposite direction
4. Enough bars have passed since the last signal (cooldown period)
5. Price action occurs during valid trading sessions
---
### Indicators Used
| Indicator | Purpose | CALL Condition | PUT Condition |
|-----------|---------|----------------|---------------|
| **9/21 EMA Cross** | Primary trigger | Fast EMA crosses above slow | Fast EMA crosses below slow |
| **200 EMA** | Trend filter | Price above 200 EMA | Price below 200 EMA |
| **RSI (14)** | Momentum filter | RSI between 45-65 | RSI between 35-55 |
| **VWAP** | Institutional level | Price above VWAP | Price below VWAP |
| **MACD (12,26,9)** | Momentum confirmation | MACD line > Signal line | MACD line < Signal line |
| **Stochastic (14,3)** | Overbought/Oversold | Oversold or K > D | Overbought or K < D |
| **Volume** | Participation confirmation | Spike on green candle | Spike on red candle |
| **Price Structure** | Breakout detection | Higher high formed | Lower low formed |
---

---
### Risk Management
The strategy uses **ATR-based dynamic stops and targets**:
| Parameter | Default | Description |
|-----------|---------|-------------|
| Stop Loss | 1.5x ATR | Distance below entry for longs, above for shorts |
| Take Profit | 2.0x ATR | Creates a 1:1.33 risk-reward ratio |
Positions are also closed on:
- Opposite direction signal (flip trade)
- Take profit or stop loss hit
---
### Session Filtering
Trades are restricted to high-liquidity periods by default:
- **Morning Session:** 9:30 AM - 11:00 AM EST
- **Afternoon Session:** 2:30 PM - 3:55 PM EST
This avoids choppy midday price action and captures the highest volume periods.

### Key Improvements Over v1
1. **Requires actual crossover** - Eliminates false signals from simple trend continuation
2. **Balanced scoring** - Both directions evaluated equally, highest score wins
3. **Signal cooldown** - Prevents overtrading with minimum bar spacing
4. **Multi-indicator confluence** - 8 factors must align for signal generation
5. **Volume-candle alignment** - Volume spikes only count when matching candle direction

### Disclaimer
This strategy is for educational purposes. Backtest thoroughly before live trading. Options trading involves significant risk of loss. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
Buy & Sell Arrows - MACD + Best_Solve WPRMACD + Best_Solve Williams %R – Aggressive Trend-Reversal Catcher
(Allow Signals Even in Overbought/Oversold Zones)
This indicator combines the classic MACD histogram with Best_Solve’s popular custom Williams %R (a 0–100 momentum oscillator that behaves more like a fast Stochastic) to deliver clean, high-conviction entry signals on daily (and higher) timeframes.
Core Logic – Only TWO conditions are required
BUY (large green arrow below bar)
MACD histogram is green (bullish momentum)
Williams %R fast line is crossing above OR already above its EMA
SELL (large red arrow above bar)
MACD histogram is red (bearish momentum)
Williams %R fast line is crossing below OR already below its EMA
Unlike most oscillators, this version deliberately removes the traditional “do not buy when overbought / do not sell when oversold” filters. This allows the script to catch powerful trend reversals and explosive moves immediately — even on violent earnings gaps or panic sell-offs (example: META’s -11 % drop on Oct 30 2025 triggered an instant sell even though %R was deeply oversold).
Built-in Clean-Signal Logic
No consecutive buys or sells — each new signal must be preceded by the opposite direction.
This keeps the chart extremely clean and prevents whipsaw clusters during strong trends.
Best Use Cases
Daily and 4H swing trading on stocks, indices, crypto, forex
Excellent for catching sharp reversals after earnings, news events, or overextended moves
Works especially well on high-beta names and growth stocks
Visuals
Large green/red arrows with “BUY” / “SELL” text (your favorite style)
Subtle transparent MACD histogram overlaid on price for instant momentum context
Ready-to-use alerts (“Buy Alert” / “Sell Alert”)
Set it, alert it, trade it — one of the cleanest and most responsive daily reversal systems you’ll find.
Enjoy the edge!
FCPO MASTER v6 – Sideway + Breakout + OB + FVG (TUPLE SAFE)TL;DR cepat
1. Gunakan M5 untuk entry & OB/FVG confirmation.
2. Gunakan M15 untuk confirm trend/false breakout.
3. Gunakan H1 untuk bias arah (overall market).
4. Entry hanya bila signal + OB/FVG/candle rejection (script buatkan).
5. SL 5–8 tick, TP 10–25 tick ikut setup (sideway vs breakout).
6. Follow checklist setiap trade — jangan lompat.
________________________________________
Setup awal (1–2 min)
1. Pasang script FCPO Sideway MASTER – OB + Imbalance + Confirmation di TradingView.
2. Timeframes: buka M5, M15, H1 (susun 3 chart atau 1 chart multi-timeframe).
3. Input default: ATR14, Breakout Buffer 5 tick, RangeLen 20, ADX14, TP12, SL8. (Kau boleh tweak nanti).
4. Aktifkan alerts pada BUY Confirm / SELL Confirm / Sideway Buy / Sideway Sell.
________________________________________
Step-by-step trading process
1) Mulakan dengan H1 — tentukan bias HTF
• Lihat H1 untuk jawapan: Trend Up / Down / Sideway.
• Rule ringkas:
o ADX H1 > 20 + price above H1 EMA → bias Bull
o ADX H1 > 20 + price below H1 EMA → bias Bear
o ADX H1 < 20 → market HTF sideway (no strong bias)
Kenapa: H1 bagi kau idea “kalau breakout pada M5, patut follow atau tolak”.
________________________________________
2) Pergi ke M15 — confirm trend & valid breakout
• M15 kena setuju dengan idea breakout.
o Untuk strong breakout: M15 kena tunjuk candle close di atas/bawah range + volume naik.
o Kalau M5 breakout tapi M15 tak setuju (M15 masih sideway) → treat as fakeout. Jangan masuk.
________________________________________
3) M5 — cari entry & confirmation (OB/FVG + candle)
• M5 adalah tempat kau buat keputusan masuk.
• Tunggu script keluarkan Sideway Buy/Sell atau Breakout Buy/Sell.
• CONFIRM entry mesti ada sekurang-kurangnya 1 dari:
o Bull/Bear Order Block searah signal (script detect).
o FVG / Imbalance zone dipenuhi & price retest.
o Candle rejection (pinbar / bearish/bullish engulfing) pada zone.
Jika tiada confirmation → no trade.
________________________________________
4) Checklist sebelum tekan Buy/Sell (MUST)
• H1 bias tidak melawan trade (prefer sama arah).
• M15 confirm breakout / trend or neutral.
• Script keluarkan signal (sideway or breakout).
• OB or FVG atau candle rejection ada.
• ATR kenaikan jika breakout (untuk breakout trade).
• Volume spike jika breakout.
• Risk:SL <= 2% akaun (position sizing).
Kalau semua ticked → boleh entry.
________________________________________
5) Setting SL / TP & position sizing
• Sideway (scalp): SL = 5–8 tick, TP = 8–12 tick.
• Breakout (trend): SL = 8–12 tick, TP = 15–25+ tick (trail later).
• Position sizing: Risk per trade 1–2%.
o Lot size = (Account Risk RM × 1 tick value) / (SL ticks × tickValue) — (kalau kau gunakan fixed tick value, adjust ikut lot).
(Script tunjuk SL & TP label — follow itu.)
________________________________________
6) Entry types
• A. Sideway Reversal (M5)
o Signal: Sideway Buy / Sideway Sell
o Confirm: OB/FVG or rejection candle at range bottom/top
o Trade: scalp target 8–12 tick, tight SL 5–8 tick
• B. Breakout (M5 entry, M15 confirm)
o Signal: Breakout Buy/Sell (Strong)
o Confirm: ATR expanding + volume spike + M15 alignment
o Trade: trend follow, TP 15–25 tick, trailing stop active
• C. Retest Entry
o Breakout happens, price returns to retest range / OB / FVG → wait for rejection candle then enter. Safer.
________________________________________
7) Trailing & exit rules
• Jika useTrail = true script plots trailing stop (ATR × multiplier).
• Exit rules:
1. Hit TP → close.
2. Hit SL → close.
3. If trailing stop hit → close.
4. If opposing confirmed signal muncul (e.g., SELL confirm while long) → consider close early.
5. If H1 bias flips strongly vs trade → tighten stop or close.
________________________________________
8) Multiple signals & scaling
• Never add to losing position (no averaging down).
• If want scale-in on confirmed trend: add 1 partial size after price moves +10–12 tick in favor and shows continuation candle + no bearish OB/FVG.
• Keep aggregated risk within your max (2–3%).
________________________________________
9) Example trade walkthrough (concrete)
• RangeHigh = 4065, RangeLow = 4035 (contoh).
• Market sideway M5.
Case A — Sideway Sell:
1. Price touches 4064–4065, script shows sidewaySell.
2. Lihat OB: ada bear OB zone di 4062–4066 → confirm.
3. Candle rejection (bearish pinbar) muncul → enter SELL M5.
4. Set SL = 5 tick above rangeHigh = 4070, TP = 10 tick → 4055.
5. Trail jika price turun > 8 tick: aktifkan trailing.
6. Close at TP or trail/SL.
Case B — Breakout Buy:
1. Price closes above 4065 + 5 tick buffer = 4070 on M5. Script shows trueBreakUp.
2. M15 shows candle close above M15 resistance + volume spike → confirm.
3. Enter BUY, SL = 8 tick below entry, TP initial 20 tick, trail with ATR×1.5.
4. Move stop to breakeven after +10 tick, scale out half at +12 tick, leave rest to trail.
________________________________________
10) Journal & review
• Semua trade: record entry time, TF, reason (which confirmations), SL/TP, result, lesson.
• Weekly review: check which confirmation worked best (OB vs FVG vs candle) and tweak settings.
________________________________________
11) Tweaks / optimisations cepat
• Jika terlalu banyak false sideway signals → kurangkan touchDist ke 2 tick.
• Kalau fakeout breakout banyak → tambah tickBuf ke 6–8.
• Nak lebih konservatif → cuma trade breakout yang juga setuju M15.
________________________________________
12) Alerts & execution (practical)
• Pasang alert pada BUY Confirm / SELL Confirm (script).
• Kalau kau guna broker yang support one-click order, siap sediakan template order (SL/TP default).
• Kalau manual, bila alert masuk: buka M5, cepat confirm OB/FVG & candle rejection → entry.
________________________________________
Quick reference table (handy)
• TF utama entry: M5
• Confirm mid-TF: M15
• Bias HTF: H1
• Sideway SL/TP: SL 5–8, TP 8–12
• Breakout SL/TP: SL 8–12, TP 15–25+
• Mandatory confirmation: (Script signal) + (OB or FVG or candle)
Market Maker Position Bars (Position Size)**Market Maker Position Bars (Position Size) – Indicator Description for TradingView**
This indicator is a clean, professional visualization tool designed for traders who track suspected **market maker / institutional positioning** (especially popular in ICT/SMC communities) on indices like the SPX, NDX, ES, etc.
It draws up to **20 horizontal position bars** directly on the chart, anchored to the very last bar, representing hypothetical long and short positions at specific price levels with corresponding position sizes.
### Key Features & Visual Logic
- **Green bars (Boxes 1–10)** → Extend to the **right** of the last bar
Represent **long positions** (bullish interest)
Default translucent green fill
- **Red bars (Boxes 11–20)** → Extend to the **left** of the last bar
Represent **short positions** (bearish interest)
Default translucent red fill
- **Bar width = Position size**
The length of each box is automatically scaled based on the absolute value you enter in “Position Size”.
Larger position → wider (longer) bar
- Each box displays **Price / Position Size** text inside (e.g., `5720.50 / 1250`)
### Fully Customizable Settings
**Global Geometry**
- Total Box Height (default 10.0) – controls vertical thickness of all boxes
**Position Size Scaling**
- Base Box Width (bars)
- Width per Position Unit – fine-tune how aggressively width grows with size
- Minimum & Maximum Bar Width – prevents boxes from becoming too tiny or excessively long
**Global Text Settings**
- Text color, size (Tiny → Huge), and bold option
**Individual Box Controls (20 independent boxes)**
- Show/Hide toggle
- SPX Price (or any symbol price level)
- Position Size (any positive/negative number; absolute value determines width)
- Fill color (override default green/red if desired)
### How It Works Internally
- All boxes are drawn only on the **last confirmed bar** (`barstate.islast`)
- Width calculation:
`Width = BaseWidth + (|Position Size| × Width per Unit)`
Clamped between Min and Max Bar Width
- Green boxes start at the current bar and extend forward (right)
- Red boxes end at the current bar and extend backward (left)
- Uses Pine Script v6 `box.new()` with `xloc.bar_index` for perfect alignment and performance
### Ideal Use Cases
- Visualizing daily/weekly **order block** or **fair value gap** interest levels with estimated size
- Mapping **dealer positioning**, gamma exposure levels, or large options interest
- Quickly seeing where the “smart money” is theoretically stacked on both sides of the market
- Clean chart markup for screenshots, mentoring, or live trading journals
A minimalist yet powerful tool favored by ICT, SMC, and footprint-style traders who want to see **where the big players might be positioned** — all in one glance without cluttering the chart with hundreds of objects.
Clean. Visual. Size-aware. Perfect for high-level market profiling.
VMDM - Volume, Momentum & Divergence Master [BullByte]VMDM - Volume, Momentum and Divergence Master
Educational Multi-Layer Market Structure Analysis System
Multi-factor divergence engine that scores RSI momentum, volume pressure, and institutional footprints into one non-repainting confluence rating (0-100).
WHAT THIS INDICATOR IS
VMDM is an educational indicator designed to teach traders how to recognize high-probability reversal and continuation patterns by analyzing four independent market dimensions simultaneously. Instead of relying on a single indicator that may produce frequent false signals, VMDM creates a confluence-based scoring system that weights multiple confirmation factors, helping you understand which setups have stronger technical backing and which are lower quality.
This is NOT a trading system or signal generator. It is a learning tool that visualizes complex market structure concepts in an accessible format for both coders and non-coders.
THE PROBLEM IT SOLVES
Most traders face these common challenges:
Challenge 1 - Indicator Overload: Running RSI, volume analysis, and divergence detection separately creates chart clutter and conflicting signals. You waste time cross-referencing multiple windows trying to determine if all factors align.
Challenge 2 - False Divergences: Standard divergence indicators trigger on every minor pivot, creating noise. Many divergences fail because they lack supporting evidence from volume or market structure.
Challenge 3 - Missed Context: A bullish RSI divergence means nothing if it occurs during weak volume or in the middle of strong distribution. Context determines quality.
Challenge 4 - Repainting Confusion: Many divergence scripts repaint, showing perfect historical signals that never actually triggered in real-time, leading to false confidence.
Challenge 5 - Institutional Pattern Recognition: Absorption zones, stop hunts, and exhaustion patterns are taught in trading education but difficult to identify systematically without manual analysis.
VMDM addresses all five challenges by combining complementary analytical layers into one transparent, non-repainting, confluence-weighted system with visual clarity.
WHY THIS SPECIFIC COMBINATION - MASHUP JUSTIFICATION
This indicator is NOT a random mashup of popular indicators. Each of the four layers serves a specific analytical purpose and together they create a complete market structure assessment framework.
THE FOUR ANALYTICAL LAYERS
LAYER 1 - RSI MOMENTUM DIVERGENCE (Trend Exhaustion Detection)
Purpose: Identifies when price momentum is weakening before price itself reverses.
Why RSI: The Relative Strength Index measures momentum on a bounded 0-100 scale, making divergence detection mathematically consistent across all assets and timeframes. Unlike raw price oscillators, RSI normalizes momentum regardless of volatility regime.
How It Contributes: Divergence between price pivots and RSI pivots reveals early momentum exhaustion. A lower price low with a higher RSI low (bullish regular divergence) signals sellers are losing strength even as price makes new lows. This is the PRIMARY signal generator in VMDM.
Limitation If Used Alone: RSI divergence by itself produces many false signals because momentum can remain weak during continued trends. It needs confirmation from volume and structural evidence.
LAYER 2 - VOLUME PRESSURE ANALYSIS (Buying vs Selling Intensity)
Purpose: Quantifies whether the current bar's volume reflects buying pressure or selling pressure based on where price closed within the bar's range.
Methodology: Instead of just measuring volume size, VMDM calculates WHERE in the bar range the close occurred. A close near the high on high volume indicates strong buying absorption. A close near the low indicates selling pressure. The calculation accounts for wick size (wicks reduce pressure quality) and uses percentile ranking over a lookback period to normalize pressure strength on a 0-100 scale.
Formula Concept:
Buy Pressure = Volume × (Close - Low) / (High - Low) × Wick Quality Factor
Sell Pressure = Volume × (High - Close) / (High - Low) × Wick Quality Factor
Net Pressure = Buy Pressure - Sell Pressure
Pressure Strength = Percentile Rank of Net Pressure over lookback period
Why Percentile Ranking: Absolute volume varies by asset and session. Percentile ranking makes 85th percentile pressure on low-volume crypto comparable to 85th percentile pressure on high-volume forex.
How It Contributes: When a bullish divergence occurs at a pivot low AND pressure strength is above 60 (strong buying), this adds 25 confluence points. It confirms that the divergence is occurring during actual accumulation, not just weak selling.
Limitation If Used Alone: Pressure analysis shows current bar intensity but cannot identify trend exhaustion or reversal timing. High buying pressure can exist during a strong uptrend with no reversal imminent.
LAYER 3 - BEHAVIORAL FOOTPRINT PATTERNS (Volume Anomaly Detection)
CRITICAL DISCLAIMER: The terms "institutional footprint," "absorption," "stop hunt," and "exhaustion" used in this indicator are EDUCATIONAL LABELS for specific price and volume behavioral patterns. These patterns are detected through technical analysis of publicly available price, volume, and bar structure data. This indicator does NOT have access to actual institutional order flow, market maker data, broker stop-loss locations, or any non-public data source. These pattern names are used because they are common terminology in trading education to describe these technical behaviors. The analysis is interpretive and based on observable price action, not privileged information.
Purpose: Detect volume anomalies and price patterns that historically correlate with potential reversal zones or trend continuation failure.
Pattern Type 1 - Absorption (Labeled as "ACCUMULATION" or "DISTRIBUTION")
Detection Criteria: Volume is more than 2x the moving average AND bar range is less than 50 percent of the average bar range.
Interpretation: High volume compressed into a tight range suggests large participants are absorbing supply (accumulation) or distribution (distribution) without allowing price to move significantly. This often precedes directional moves once absorption completes.
Visual: Colored box zone highlighting the absorption area.
Pattern Type 2 - Stop Hunt (Labeled as "BULL HUNT" or "BEAR HUNT")
Detection Criteria: Price penetrates a recent 10-bar high or low by a small margin (0.2 percent), then closes back inside the range on above-average volume (1.5x+).
Interpretation: Price briefly spikes beyond recent structure (likely triggering stop losses placed just beyond obvious levels) then reverses. This is a classic false breakout pattern often seen before reversals.
Visual: Label at the wick extreme showing hunt direction.
Pattern Type 3 - Exhaustion (Labeled as "SELL EXHAUST" or "BUY EXHAUST")
Detection Criteria: Lower wick is more than 2.5x the body size with volume above 1.8x average and RSI below 35 (sell exhaustion), OR upper wick more than 2.5x body size with volume above 1.8x average and RSI above 65 (buy exhaustion).
Interpretation: Large wicks with high volume and extreme RSI suggest aggressive buying or selling was met with equally aggressive rejection. This exhaustion often marks short-term extremes.
Visual: Label showing exhaustion type.
How These Contribute: When a divergence forms at a pivot AND one of these behavioral patterns is active, the confluence score increases by 20 points. This confirms the divergence is occurring during structural anomaly activity, not just normal price flow.
Limitation If Used Alone: These patterns can occur mid-trend and do not indicate direction without momentum context. Absorption in a strong uptrend may just be continuation accumulation.
LAYER 4 - CONFLUENCE SCORING MATRIX (Quality Weighting System)
Purpose: Translate all detected conditions into a single 0-100 quality score so you can objectively compare setups.
Scoring Breakdown:
Divergence Present: +30 points (primary signal)
Pressure Confirmation: +25 points (volume supports direction)
Behavioral Footprint Active: +20 points (structural anomaly present)
RSI Extreme: +15 points (RSI below 30 or above 70 at pivot)
Volume Spike: +10 points (current volume above 1.5x average)
Maximum Possible Score: 100 points
Why These Weights: The weights reflect reliability hierarchy based on backtesting observation. Divergence is the core signal (30 points), but without volume confirmation (25 points) many fail. Behavioral patterns add meaningful context (20 points). RSI extremes and volume spikes are secondary confirmations (15 and 10 points).
Quality Tiers:
90-100: TEXTBOOK (all factors aligned)
75-89: HIGH QUALITY (strong confluence)
60-74: VALID (meets minimum threshold)
Below 60: DEVELOPING (not displayed unless threshold lowered)
How It Contributes: The confluence score allows you to filter noise. You can set your minimum quality threshold in settings. Higher thresholds (75+) show fewer but higher-quality patterns. Lower thresholds (50-60) show more patterns but include lower-confidence setups. This teaches you to distinguish strong setups from weak ones.
Limitation: Confluence scoring is historical observation-based, not predictive guarantee. A 95-point setup can still fail. The score represents technical alignment, not future certainty.
WHY THIS COMBINATION WORKS TOGETHER
Each layer addresses a limitation in the others:
RSI Divergence identifies WHEN momentum is exhausting (timing)
Volume Pressure confirms WHETHER the exhaustion is accompanied by opposite-side accumulation (confirmation)
Behavioral Footprint shows IF structural anomalies support the reversal hypothesis (context)
Confluence Scoring weights ALL factors into an objective quality metric (filtering)
Using only RSI divergence gives you timing without confirmation. Using only volume pressure gives you intensity without directional context. Using only pattern detection gives you anomalies without trend exhaustion context. Using all four together creates a complete analytical framework where each layer compensates for the others' weaknesses.
This is not a mashup for the sake of combining indicators. It is a structured analytical system where each component has a defined role in a multi-dimensional market assessment process.
HOW TO READ THE INDICATOR - VISUAL ELEMENTS GUIDE
VMDM displays up to five visual layer types. You can enable or disable each layer independently in settings under "Visual Layers."
VISUAL LAYER 1 - MARKET STRUCTURE (Pivot Points and Lines)
What You See:
Small labels at swing highs and lows marked "PH" (Pivot High) and "PL" (Pivot Low) with horizontal dashed lines extending right from each pivot.
What It Means:
These are CONFIRMED pivots, not real-time. A pivot low appears AFTER the required right-side confirmation bars pass (default 3 bars). This creates a delay but prevents repainting. The pivot only appears once it is mathematically confirmed.
The horizontal lines represent support (from pivot lows) and resistance (from pivot highs) levels where price previously found significant rejection.
Color Coding:
Green label and line: Pivot Low (potential support)
Red label and line: Pivot High (potential resistance)
How To Use:
These pivots are the foundation for divergence detection. Divergence is only calculated between confirmed pivots, ensuring all signals are non-repainting. The lines help you see historical structure levels.
VISUAL LAYER 2 - PRESSURE ZONES (Background Color)
What You See:
Subtle background color shading on bars - light green or light red tint.
What It Means:
This visualizes volume pressure strength in real-time.
Color Coding:
Light Green Background: Pressure Strength above 70 (strong buying pressure - price closing near highs on volume)
Light Red Background: Pressure Strength below 30 (strong selling pressure - price closing near lows on volume)
No Color: Neutral pressure (pressure between 30-70)
How To Use:
When a bullish divergence pattern appears during green pressure zones, it suggests the divergence is forming during accumulation. When a bearish divergence appears during red zones, distribution is occurring. Pressure zones help you filter divergences - those forming in supportive pressure environments have higher probability.
VISUAL LAYER 3 - DIVERGENCE LINES (Dotted Connectors)
What You See:
Dotted lines connecting two pivot points (either two pivot lows or two pivot highs).
What It Means:
A divergence has been detected between those two pivots. The line connects the price pivots where RSI showed opposite behavior.
Color Coding:
Bright Green Line: Bullish divergence (regular or hidden)
Bright Red Line: Bearish divergence (regular or hidden)
How To Use:
The divergence line appears ONLY after the second pivot is confirmed (delayed by right-side confirmation bars). This is intentional to prevent repainting. When you see the line appear, it means:
For Bullish Regular Divergence:
Price made a lower low (second pivot lower than first)
RSI made a higher low (RSI at second pivot higher than first)
Interpretation: Downtrend losing momentum
For Bullish Hidden Divergence:
Price made a higher low (second pivot higher than first)
RSI made a lower low (RSI at second pivot lower than first)
Interpretation: Uptrend continuation likely (pullback within uptrend)
For Bearish Regular Divergence:
Price made a higher high (second pivot higher than first)
RSI made a lower high (RSI at second pivot lower than first)
Interpretation: Uptrend losing momentum
For Bearish Hidden Divergence:
Price made a lower high (second pivot lower than first)
RSI made a higher high (RSI at second pivot higher than first)
Interpretation: Downtrend continuation likely (bounce within downtrend)
If "Show Consolidated Analysis Label" is disabled, a small label will appear on the divergence line showing the divergence type abbreviation.
VISUAL LAYER 4 - BEHAVIORAL FOOTPRINT MARKERS
What You See:
Boxes, labels, and markers at specific bars showing pattern detection.
ABSORPTION ZONES (Boxes):
Colored rectangular boxes spanning one or more bars.
Purple Box: Accumulation absorption zone (high volume, tight range, bullish close)
Red Box: Distribution absorption zone (high volume, tight range, bearish close)
If absorption continues for multiple consecutive bars, the box extends and a counter appears in the label showing how many bars the absorption lasted.
What It Means: Large volume is being absorbed without significant price movement. This often precedes directional breakouts once the absorption phase completes.
STOP HUNT MARKERS (Labels):
Small labels below or above wicks labeled "BULL HUNT" or "BEAR HUNT" (may show bar count if consecutive).
What It Means:
BULL HUNT : Price spiked below recent lows then reversed back up on volume - likely triggered sell stops before reversing
BEAR HUNT : Price spiked above recent highs then reversed back down on volume - likely triggered buy stops before reversing
EXHAUSTION MARKERS (Labels):
Labels showing "SELL EXHAUST" or "BUY EXHAUST."
What It Means:
SELL EXHAUST : Large lower wick with high volume and low RSI - aggressive selling met with strong rejection
BUY EXHAUST : Large upper wick with high volume and high RSI - aggressive buying met with strong rejection
How To Use:
These markers help you identify WHERE structural anomalies occurred. When a divergence signal appears AT THE SAME TIME as one of these patterns, the confluence score increases. You are looking for alignment - divergence + behavioral pattern + pressure confirmation = high-quality setup.
VISUAL LAYER 5 - CONSOLIDATED ANALYSIS LABEL (Main Pattern Signal)
What You See:
A large label appearing at pivot points (or in real-time mode, at current bar) containing full pattern analysis.
Label Appearance:
Depending on your "Use Compact Label Format" setting:
COMPACT MODE (Single Line):
Example: "BULLISH REGULAR | Q:HIGH QUALITY C:82"
Breakdown:
BULLISH REGULAR: Divergence type detected
Q:HIGH QUALITY: Pattern quality tier
C:82: Confluence score (82 out of 100)
FULL MODE (Multi-Line Detailed):
Example:
PATTERN DETECTED
-------------------
BULLISH REGULAR
Quality: HIGH QUALITY
Price: Lower Low
Momentum: Higher Low
Signal: Weakening Downtrend
CONFLUENCE: 82/100
-------------------
Divergence: 30
Pressure: 25
Institutional: 20
RSI Extreme: 0
Volume: 10
Breakdown:
Top section: Pattern type and quality
Middle section: Divergence explanation (what price did vs what RSI did)
Bottom section: Confluence score with itemized breakdown showing which factors contributed
Label Position:
In Confirmed modes: Label appears AT the pivot point (delayed by confirmation bars)
In Real-time mode: Label appears at current bar as conditions develop
Label Color:
Gold: Textbook quality (90+ confluence)
Green: High quality (75-89 confluence)
Blue: Valid quality (60-74 confluence)
How To Use:
This is your primary decision-making label. When it appears:
Check the divergence type (regular divergences are reversal signals, hidden divergences are continuation signals)
Review the quality tier (textbook and high quality have better historical win rates)
Examine the confluence breakdown to see which factors are present and which are missing
Look at the chart context (trend, support/resistance, timeframe)
Use this information to assess whether the setup aligns with your strategy
The label does NOT tell you to buy or sell. It tells you a technical pattern has formed and provides the quality assessment. Your trading decision must incorporate risk management, market context, and your strategy rules.
UNDERSTANDING THE THREE DETECTION MODES
VMDM offers three signal detection modes in settings to accommodate different trading styles and learning objectives.
MODE 1: "Confluence Only (Real-Time)"
How It Works: Displays signals AS THEY DEVELOP on the current bar without waiting for pivot confirmation. The system calculates confluence score from pressure, volume, RSI extremes, and behavioral patterns. Divergence signals are NOT required in this mode.
Delay: ZERO - signals appear immediately.
Use Case: Real-time scanning for high-confluence zones without divergence requirement. Useful for intraday traders who want immediate alerts when multiple factors align.
Tradeoff: More frequent signals but includes setups without confirmed divergence. Higher false signal rate. Signals can change as the bar develops (not repainting in historical bars, but current bar updates).
Visual Behavior: Labels appear at the current bar. No divergence lines unless divergence happens to be present.
MODE 2: "Divergence + Confluence (Confirmed)" - DEFAULT RECOMMENDED
How It Works: Full system engagement. Signals appear ONLY when:
A pivot is confirmed (requires right-side confirmation bars to pass)
Divergence is detected between current pivot and previous pivot
Total confluence score meets or exceeds your minimum threshold
Delay: Equal to your "Pivot Right Bars" setting (default 3 bars). This means signals appear 3 bars AFTER the actual pivot formed.
Use Case: Highest-quality, non-repainting signals for swing traders and learners who want to study confirmed pattern completion.
Tradeoff: Delayed signals. You will not receive the signal until confirmation occurs. In fast-moving markets, price may have already moved significantly by the time the signal appears.
Visual Behavior: Labels appear at the historical pivot location (in the past). Divergence lines connect the two pivots. This is the most educational mode because it shows completed, confirmed patterns.
Non-Repainting Guarantee: Yes. Once a signal appears, it never disappears or changes.
MODE 3: "Divergence + Confluence (Relaxed)"
How It Works: Same as Confirmed mode but with adaptive thresholds. If confluence is very high (10 points above threshold), the signal may appear even if some factors are weak. If divergence is present but confluence is slightly below threshold (within 10 points), it may still appear.
Delay: Same as Confirmed mode (right-side confirmation bars).
Use Case: Slightly more signals than Confirmed mode for traders willing to accept near-threshold setups.
Tradeoff: More signals but lower average quality than Confirmed mode.
Visual Behavior: Same as Confirmed mode.
DASHBOARD GUIDE - READING THE METRICS
The dashboard appears in the corner of your chart (position selectable in settings) and provides real-time market state analysis.
You can choose between four dashboard detail levels in settings: Off, Compact, Optimized (default), Full.
DASHBOARD ROW EXPLANATIONS
ROW 1 - Header Information
Left: Current symbol and timeframe
Center: "VMDM "
Right: Version number
ROW 2 - Mode and Delay
Shows which detection mode you are using and the signal delay.
Example: "CONFIRMED | Delay: 3 bars"
This reminds you that signals in confirmed mode appear 3 bars after the pivot forms.
ROW 3 - Market Regime
Format: "TREND UP HV" or "RANGING NV"
First Part - Trend State:
TREND UP: 20 EMA above 50 EMA with strong separation
TREND DOWN: 20 EMA below 50 EMA with strong separation
RANGING: EMAs close together, low trend strength
TRANSITION: Between trending and ranging states
Second Part - Volatility State:
HV: High Volatility (current ATR more than 1.3x the 50-bar average ATR)
NV: Normal Volatility (current ATR between 0.7x and 1.3x average)
LV: Low Volatility (current ATR less than 0.7x average)
Third Column: Volatility ratio (example: "1.45x" means current ATR is 1.45 times normal)
How To Use: Regime context helps you interpret signals. Reversal divergences are more reliable in ranging or transitional regimes. Continuation divergences (hidden) are more reliable in trending regimes. High volatility means wider stops may be needed.
ROW 4 - Pressure
Shows current volume pressure state.
Format: "BUYING | ██████████░░░░░░░░░"
States:
BUYING : Pressure strength above 60 (closes near highs)
SELLING : Pressure strength below 40 (closes near lows)
NEUTRAL : Pressure strength between 40-60
Bar Visualization: Each block represents 10 percentile points. A full bar (10 filled blocks) = 100th percentile pressure.
Color: Green for buying, red for selling, gray for neutral.
How To Use: When pressure aligns with divergence direction (bullish divergence during buying pressure), confluence is stronger.
ROW 5 - Volume and RSI
Format: "1.8x | RSI 68 | OB"
First Value: Current volume ratio (1.8x = volume is 1.8 times the moving average)
Second Value: Current RSI reading
Third Value: RSI state
OB: Overbought (RSI above 70)
OS: Oversold (RSI below 30)
Blank: Neutral RSI
How To Use: Volume spikes (above 1.5x) during divergence formation add confluence. RSI extremes at pivots add confluence.
ROW 6 - Behavioral Footprint
Format: "BULL HUNT | 2 bars"
Shows the most recent behavioral pattern detected and how long ago.
States:
ACCUMULATION / DISTRIBUTION: Absorption detected
BULL HUNT / BEAR HUNT: Stop hunt detected
SELL EXHAUST / BUY EXHAUST: Exhaustion detected
SCANNING: No recent pattern
NOW: Pattern is active on current bar
How To Use: When footprint activity is recent (within 50 bars) or active now, it adds context to divergence signals forming in that area.
ROW 7 - Current Pattern
Shows the divergence type currently detected (if any).
Examples: "BULLISH REGULAR", "BEARISH HIDDEN", "Scanning..."
Quality: Shows pattern quality (TEXTBOOK, HIGH QUALITY, VALID)
How To Use: This tells you what type of signal is active. Regular divergences are reversal setups. Hidden divergences are continuation setups.
ROW 8 - Session Summary
Format: "14 events | A3 H8 E3"
First Value: Total institutional events this session
Breakdown:
A: Absorption events
H: Stop hunt events
E: Exhaustion events
How To Use: High event counts suggest an active, volatile session with frequent structural anomalies. Low counts suggest quiet, orderly price action.
ROW 9 - Confluence Score (Optimized/Full mode only)
Format: "78/100 | ████████░░"
Shows current real-time confluence score even if no pattern is confirmed yet.
How To Use: Watch this in real-time to see how close you are to pattern formation. When it exceeds your threshold and divergence forms, a signal will appear (after confirmation delay).
ROW 10 - Patterns Studied (Optimized/Full mode only)
Format: "47 patterns | 12 bars ago"
First Value: Total confirmed patterns detected since chart loaded
Second Value: How many bars since the last confirmed pattern appeared
How To Use: Helps you understand pattern frequency on your selected symbol and timeframe. If many bars have passed since last pattern, market may be trending without reversal opportunities.
ROW 11 - Bull/Bear Ratio (Optimized/Full mode only)
Format: "28:19 | BULL"
Shows count of bullish vs bearish patterns detected.
Balance:
BULL: More bullish patterns detected (suggests market has had more bullish reversals/continuations)
BEAR: More bearish patterns detected
BAL: Equal counts
How To Use: Extreme imbalances can indicate directional bias in the studied period. A heavily bullish ratio in a downtrend might suggest frequent failed rallies (bearish continuation). Context matters.
ROW 12 - Volume Ratio Detail (Optimized/Full mode only)
Shows current volume vs average volume in absolute terms.
Example: "1.4x | 45230 / 32300"
How To Use: Confirms whether current activity is above or below normal.
ROW 13 - Last Institutional Event (Full mode only)
Shows the most recent institutional pattern type and how many bars ago it occurred.
Example: "DISTRIBUTION | 23 bars"
How To Use: Tracks recency of last anomaly for context.
SETTINGS GUIDE - EVERY PARAMETER EXPLAINED
PERFORMANCE SECTION
Enable All Visuals (Master Toggle)
Default: ON
What It Does: Master kill switch for ALL visual elements (labels, lines, boxes, background colors, dashboard). When OFF, only plot outputs remain (invisible unless you open data window).
When To Change: Turn OFF on mobile devices, 1-second charts, or slow computers to improve performance. You can still receive alerts even with visuals disabled.
Impact: Dramatic performance improvement when OFF, but you lose all visual feedback.
Maximum Object History
Default: 50 | Range: 10-100
What It Does: Limits how many of each object type (labels, lines, boxes) are kept in memory. Older objects beyond this limit are deleted.
When To Change: Lower to 20-30 on fast timeframes (1-minute charts) to prevent slowdown. Increase to 100 on daily charts if you want more historical pattern visibility.
Impact: Lower values = better performance but less historical visibility. Higher values = more history visible but potential slowdown on fast timeframes.
Alert Cooldown (Bars)
Default: 5 | Range: 1-50
What It Does: Minimum number of bars that must pass before another alert of the same type can fire. Prevents alert spam when multiple patterns form in quick succession.
When To Change: Increase to 20+ on 1-minute charts to reduce noise. Decrease to 1-2 on daily charts if you want every pattern alerted.
Impact: Higher cooldown = fewer alerts. Lower cooldown = more alerts.
USER EXPERIENCE SECTION
Show Enhanced Tooltips
Default: ON
What It Does: Enables detailed hover-over tooltips on labels and visual elements.
When To Change: Turn OFF if you encounter Pine Script compilation errors related to tooltip arguments (rare, platform-specific issue).
Impact: Minimal. Just adds helpful hover text.
MARKET STRUCTURE DETECTION SECTION
Pivot Left Bars
Default: 3 | Range: 2-10
What It Does: Number of bars to the LEFT of the center bar that must be higher (for pivot low) or lower (for pivot high) than the center bar for a pivot to be valid.
Example: With value 3, a pivot low requires the center bar's low to be lower than the 3 bars to its left.
When To Change:
Increase to 5-7 on noisy timeframes (1-minute charts) to filter insignificant pivots
Decrease to 2 on slow timeframes (daily charts) to catch more pivots
Impact: Higher values = fewer, more significant pivots = fewer signals. Lower values = more frequent pivots = more signals but more noise.
Pivot Right Bars
Default: 3 | Range: 2-10
What It Does: Number of bars to the RIGHT of the center bar that must pass for confirmation. This creates the non-repainting delay.
Example: With value 3, a pivot is confirmed 3 bars AFTER it forms.
When To Change:
Increase to 5-7 for slower, more confirmed signals (better for swing trading)
Decrease to 2 for faster signals (better for intraday, but still non-repainting)
Impact: Higher values = longer delay but more reliable confirmation. Lower values = faster signals but less confirmation. This setting directly controls your signal delay in Confirmed and Relaxed modes.
Minimum Confluence Score
Default: 60 | Range: 40-95
What It Does: The threshold score required for a pattern to be displayed. Patterns with confluence scores below this threshold are not shown.
When To Change:
Increase to 75+ if you only want high-quality textbook setups (fewer signals)
Decrease to 50-55 if you want to see more developing patterns (more signals, lower average quality)
Impact: This is your primary signal filter. Higher threshold = fewer, higher-quality signals. Lower threshold = more signals but includes weaker setups. Recommended starting point is 60-65.
TECHNICAL PERIODS SECTION
RSI Period
Default: 14 | Range: 5-50
What It Does: Lookback period for RSI calculation.
When To Change:
Decrease to 9-10 for faster, more sensitive RSI that detects shorter-term momentum changes
Increase to 21-28 for slower, smoother RSI that filters noise
Impact: Lower values make RSI more volatile (more frequent extremes and divergences). Higher values make RSI smoother (fewer but more significant divergences). 14 is industry standard.
Volume Moving Average Period
Default: 20 | Range: 10-200
What It Does: Lookback period for calculating average volume. Current volume is compared to this average to determine volume ratio.
When To Change:
Decrease to 10-14 for shorter-term volume comparison (more sensitive to recent volume changes)
Increase to 50-100 for longer-term volume comparison (smoother, less sensitive)
Impact: Lower values make volume ratio more volatile. Higher values make it more stable. 20 is standard.
ATR Period
Default: 14 | Range: 5-100
What It Does: Lookback period for Average True Range calculation used for volatility measurement and label positioning.
When To Change: Rarely needs adjustment. Use 7-10 for faster volatility response, 21-28 for slower.
Impact: Affects volatility ratio calculation and visual label spacing. Minimal impact on signals.
Pressure Percentile Lookback
Default: 50 | Range: 10-300
What It Does: Lookback period for calculating volume pressure percentile ranking. Your current pressure is ranked against the pressure of the last X bars.
When To Change:
Decrease to 20-30 for shorter-term pressure context (more responsive to recent changes)
Increase to 100-200 for longer-term pressure context (smoother rankings)
Impact: Lower values make pressure strength more sensitive to recent bars. Higher values provide more stable, long-term pressure assessment. Capped at 300 for performance reasons.
SIGNAL DETECTION SECTION
Signal Detection Mode
Default: "Divergence + Confluence (Confirmed)"
Options:
Confluence Only (Real-time)
Divergence + Confluence (Confirmed)
Divergence + Confluence (Relaxed)
What It Does: Selects which detection logic mode to use (see "Understanding The Three Detection Modes" section above).
When To Change: Use Confirmed for learning and non-repainting signals. Use Real-time for live scanning without divergence requirement. Use Relaxed for slightly more signals than Confirmed.
Impact: Fundamentally changes when and how signals appear.
VISUAL LAYERS SECTION
All toggles default to ON. Each controls visibility of one visual layer:
Show Market Structure: Pivot markers and support/resistance lines
Show Pressure Zones: Background color shading
Show Divergence Lines: Dotted lines connecting pivots
Show Institutional Footprint Markers: Absorption boxes, hunt labels, exhaustion labels
Show Consolidated Analysis Label: Main pattern detection label
Use Compact Label Format
Default: OFF
What It Does: Switches consolidated label between single-line compact format and multi-line detailed format.
When To Change: Turn ON if you find full labels too large or distracting.
Impact: Visual clarity vs. information density tradeoff.
DASHBOARD SECTION
Dashboard Mode
Default: "Optimized"
Options: Off, Compact, Optimized, Full
What It Does: Controls how much information the dashboard displays.
Off: No dashboard
Compact: 8 rows (essential metrics only)
Optimized: 12 rows (recommended balance)
Full: 13 rows (every available metric)
Dashboard Position
Default: "Top Right"
Options: Top Right, Top Left, Bottom Right, Bottom Left
What It Does: Screen corner where dashboard appears.
HOW TO USE VMDM - PRACTICAL WORKFLOW
STEP 1 - INITIAL SETUP
Add VMDM to your chart
Select your detection mode (Confirmed recommended for learning)
Set your minimum confluence score (start with 60-65)
Adjust pivot parameters if needed (default 3/3 is good for most timeframes)
Enable the visual layers you want to see
STEP 2 - CHART ANALYSIS
Let the indicator load and analyze historical data
Review the patterns that appear historically
Examine the confluence scores - notice which patterns had higher scores
Observe which patterns occurred during supportive pressure zones
Notice the divergence line connections - understand what price vs RSI did
STEP 3 - PATTERN RECOGNITION LEARNING
When a consolidated analysis label appears:
Read the divergence type (regular or hidden, bullish or bearish)
Check the quality tier (textbook, high quality, or valid)
Review the confluence breakdown - which factors contributed
Look at the chart context - where is price relative to structure, trend, etc.
Observe the behavioral footprint markers nearby - do they support the pattern
STEP 4 - REAL-TIME MONITORING
Watch the dashboard for real-time regime and pressure state
Monitor the current confluence score in the dashboard
When it approaches your threshold, be alert for potential pattern formation
When a new pattern appears (after confirmation delay), evaluate it using the workflow above
Use your trading strategy rules to decide if the setup aligns with your criteria
STEP 5 - POST-PATTERN OBSERVATION
After a pattern appears:
Mark the level on your chart
Observe what price does after the pattern completes
Did price respect the reversal/continuation signal
What was the confluence score of patterns that worked vs. those that failed
Learn which quality tiers and confluence levels produce better results on your specific symbol and timeframe
RECOMMENDED TIMEFRAMES AND ASSET CLASSES
VMDM is timeframe-agnostic and works on any asset with volume data. However, optimal performance varies:
BEST TIMEFRAMES
15-Minute to 1-Hour: Ideal balance of signal frequency and reliability. Pivot confirmation delay is acceptable. Sufficient volume data for pressure analysis.
4-Hour to Daily: Excellent for swing trading. Very high-quality signals. Lower frequency but higher significance. Recommended for learning because patterns are clearer.
1-Minute to 5-Minute: Works but requires adjustment. Increase pivot bars to 5-7 for filtering. Decrease max object history to 30 for performance. Expect more noise.
Weekly/Monthly: Works but very infrequent signals. Increase confluence threshold to 70+ to ensure only major patterns appear.
BEST ASSET CLASSES
Forex Majors: Excellent volume data and clear trends. Pressure analysis works well.
Crypto (Major Pairs): Good volume data. High volatility makes divergences more pronounced. Works very well.
Stock Indices (SPY, QQQ, etc.): Excellent. Clean price action and reliable volume.
Individual Stocks: Works well on high-volume stocks. Low-volume stocks may produce unreliable pressure readings.
Commodities (Gold, Oil, etc.): Works well. Clear trends and reactions.
WHAT THIS INDICATOR CANNOT DO - LIMITATIONS
LIMITATION 1 - It Does Not Predict The Future
VMDM identifies when technical conditions align historically associated with potential reversals or continuations. It does not predict what will happen next. A textbook 95-confluence pattern can still fail if fundamental events, news, or larger timeframe structure override the setup.
LIMITATION 2 - Confirmation Delay Means You Miss Early Entry
In Confirmed and Relaxed modes, the non-repainting design means you receive signals AFTER the pivot is confirmed. Price may have already moved significantly by the time you receive the signal. This is the tradeoff for non-repainting reliability. You can use Real-time mode for faster signals but sacrifice divergence confirmation.
LIMITATION 3 - It Does Not Tell You Position Sizing or Risk Management
VMDM provides technical pattern analysis. It does not calculate stop loss levels, take profit targets, or position sizing. You must apply your own risk management rules. Never risk more than you can afford to lose based on a technical signal.
LIMITATION 4 - Volume Pressure Analysis Requires Reliable Volume Data
On assets with thin volume or unreliable volume reporting, pressure analysis may be inaccurate. Stick to major liquid assets with consistent volume data.
LIMITATION 5 - It Cannot Detect Fundamental Events
VMDM is purely technical. It cannot predict earnings reports, central bank decisions, geopolitical events, or other fundamental catalysts that can override technical patterns.
LIMITATION 6 - Divergence Requires Two Pivots
The indicator cannot detect divergence until at least two pivots of the same type have formed. In strong trends without pullbacks, you may go long periods without signals.
LIMITATION 7 - Institutional Pattern Names Are Interpretive
The behavioral footprint patterns are named using common trading education terminology, but they are detected through technical analysis, not actual institutional data access. The patterns are interpretations based on price and volume behavior.
CONCEPT FOUNDATION - WHY THIS APPROACH WORKS
MARKET PRINCIPLE 1 - Momentum Divergence Precedes Price Reversal
Price is the final output of market forces, but momentum (the rate of change in those forces) shifts first. When price makes a new low but the momentum behind that move is weaker (higher RSI low), it signals that sellers are losing strength even though they temporarily pushed price lower. This precedes reversal. This is a fundamental principle in technical analysis taught by Charles Dow, widely observed in market behavior.
MARKET PRINCIPLE 2 - Volume Reveals Conviction
Price can move on low volume (low conviction) or high volume (high conviction). When price makes a new low on declining volume while RSI shows improving momentum, it suggests the new low is not confirmed by participant conviction. Adding volume pressure analysis to momentum divergence adds a confirmation layer that filters false divergences.
MARKET PRINCIPLE 3 - Anomalies Mark Structural Extremes
When volume spikes significantly but range contracts (absorption), or when price spikes beyond structure then reverses (stop hunt), or when aggressive moves are met with large-wick rejection (exhaustion), these anomalies often mark short-term extremes. Combining these structural observations with momentum analysis creates context.
MARKET PRINCIPLE 4 - Confluence Improves Probability
No single technical factor is reliable in isolation. RSI divergence alone fails frequently. Volume analysis alone cannot time entries. Combining multiple independent factors into a weighted system increases the probability that observed patterns have structural significance rather than random noise.
THE EDUCATIONAL VALUE
By visualizing all four layers simultaneously and breaking down the confluence scoring transparently, VMDM teaches you to think in terms of multi-dimensional analysis rather than single-indicator reliance. Over time, you will learn to recognize these patterns manually and understand which combinations produce better results on your traded assets.
INSTITUTIONAL TERMINOLOGY - IMPORTANT CLARIFICATION
This indicator uses the following terms that are common in trading education:
Institutional Footprint
Absorption (Accumulation / Distribution)
Stop Hunt
Exhaustion
CRITICAL DISCLAIMER:
These terms are EDUCATIONAL LABELS for specific price action and volume behavior patterns detected through technical analysis of publicly available chart data (open, high, low, close, volume). This indicator does NOT have access to:
Actual institutional order flow or order book data
Market maker positions or intentions
Broker stop-loss databases
Non-public trading data
Proprietary institutional information
The patterns labeled as "institutional footprint" are interpretations based on observable price and volume behavior that educational trading literature often associates with potential large-participant activity. The detection is algorithmic pattern recognition, not privileged data access.
When this indicator identifies "absorption," it means it detected high volume within a small range - a condition that MAY indicate large orders being filled but is not confirmation of actual institutional participation.
When it identifies a "stop hunt," it means price briefly penetrated a structural level then reversed - a pattern that MAY have triggered stop losses but is not confirmation that stops were specifically targeted.
When it identifies "exhaustion," it means high volume with large rejection wicks - a pattern that MAY indicate aggressive participation meeting strong opposition but is not confirmation of institutional involvement.
These are technical analysis interpretations, not factual statements about market participant identity or intent.
DISCLAIMER AND RISK WARNING
EDUCATIONAL PURPOSE ONLY
This indicator is designed as an educational tool to help traders learn to recognize technical patterns, understand multi-factor analysis, and practice systematic market observation. It is NOT a trading system, signal service, or financial advice.
NO PERFORMANCE GUARANTEE
Past pattern behavior does not guarantee future results. A pattern that historically preceded price movement in one direction may fail in the future due to changing market conditions, fundamental events, or random variance. Confluence scores reflect historical technical alignment, not future certainty.
TRADING INVOLVES SUBSTANTIAL RISK
Trading financial instruments involves substantial risk of loss. You can lose more than your initial investment. Never trade with money you cannot afford to lose. Always use proper risk management including stop losses, position sizing, and portfolio diversification.
NO PREDICTIVE CLAIMS
This indicator does NOT predict future price movement. It identifies when technical conditions align in patterns that historically have been associated with potential reversals or continuations. Market behavior is probabilistic, not deterministic.
BACKTESTING LIMITATIONS
If you backtest trading strategies using this indicator, ensure you account for:
Realistic commission costs
Realistic slippage (difference between signal price and actual fill price)
Sufficient sample size (minimum 100 trades for statistical relevance)
Reasonable position sizing (risking no more than 1-2 percent of account per trade)
The confirmation delay inherent in the indicator (you cannot enter at the exact pivot in Confirmed mode)
Backtests that do not account for these factors will produce unrealistic results.

NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE
Nothing in this indicator, its code, its description, or its visual outputs constitutes financial, investment, or trading advice. Consult a licensed financial advisor before making investment decisions.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: Why do signals appear in the past, not at the current bar
A: In Confirmed and Relaxed modes, signals appear at confirmed pivots, which requires waiting for right-side confirmation bars (default 3). This creates a delay but prevents repainting. Use Real-time mode if you want current-bar signals without pivot confirmation.
Q: Can I use this for automated trading
A: You can create alert-based automation, but understand that Confirmed mode signals appear AFTER the pivot with delay, so your entry will not be at the pivot price. Real-time mode signals can change as the current bar develops. Automation requires careful consideration of these factors.
Q: How do I know which confluence score to use
A: Start with 60. Observe which patterns work on your symbol/timeframe. If too many false signals, increase to 70-75. If too few signals, decrease to 55. Quality vs. quantity tradeoff.
Q: Do regular divergences mean I should enter a reversal trade immediately
A: No. Regular divergences indicate momentum exhaustion, which is a WARNING sign that trend may reverse, not a confirmation that it will. Use confluence score, market context, support/resistance, and your strategy rules to make entry decisions. Many divergences fail.
Q: What's the difference between regular and hidden divergence
A: Regular divergence = price and momentum move in opposite directions at extremes = potential reversal signal. Hidden divergence = price and momentum move in opposite directions during pullbacks = potential continuation signal. Hidden divergence suggests the pullback is just a correction within the larger trend.
Q: Why does the pressure zone color sometimes conflict with the divergence direction
A: Pressure is real-time current bar analysis. Divergence is confirmed pivot analysis from the past. They measure different things at different times. A bullish divergence confirmed 3 bars ago might appear during current selling pressure. This is normal.
Q: Can I use this on stocks without volume data
A: No. Volume is required for pressure analysis and behavioral pattern detection. Use only on assets with reliable volume reporting.
Q: How often should I expect signals
A: Depends on timeframe and settings. Daily charts might produce 5-10 signals per month. 1-hour charts might produce 20-30. 15-minute charts might produce 50-100. Adjust confluence threshold to control frequency.
Q: Can I modify the code
A: Yes, this is open source. You can modify for personal use. If you publish a modified version, please credit the original and ensure your publication meets TradingView guidelines.
Q: What if I disagree with a pattern's confluence score
A: The scoring weights are based on general observations and may not suit your specific strategy or asset. You can modify the code to adjust weights if you have data-driven reasons to do so.

Superior-Range Bound Renko - Alerts - 11-29-25 - Signal LynxSuperior-Range Bound Renko – Alerts Edition with Advanced Risk Management Template
Signal Lynx | Free Scripts supporting Automation for the Night-Shift Nation 🌙
1. Overview
This is the Alerts & Indicator Edition of Superior-Range Bound Renko (RBR).
The Strategy version is built for backtesting inside TradingView.
This Alerts version is built for automation: it emits clean, discrete alert events that you can route into webhooks, bots, or relay engines (including your own Signal Lynx-style infrastructure).
Under the hood, this script contains the same core engine as the strategy:
Adaptive Range Bounding based on volatility
Renko Brick Emulation on standard candles
A stack of Laguerre Filters for impulse detection
K-Means-style Adaptive SuperTrend for trend confirmation
The full Signal Lynx Risk Management Engine (state machine, layered exits, AATS, RSIS, etc.)
The difference is in what we output:
Instead of placing historical trades, this version:
Plots the entry and RM signals in a separate pane (overlay = false)
Exposes alertconditions for:
Long Entry
Short Entry
Close Long
Close Short
TP1, TP2, TP3 hits (Staged Take Profit)
This makes it ideal as the signal source for automated execution via TradingView Alerts + Webhooks.
2. Quick Action Guide (TL;DR)
Best Timeframe:
4H and above. This is a swing-trading / position-trading style engine, not a micro-scalper.
Best Assets:
Volatile but structured markets, e.g.:
BTC, ETH, XAUUSD (Gold), GBPJPY, and similar high-volatility majors or indices.
Script Type:
indicator() – Alerts & Visualization Only
No built-in order placement
All “orders” are emitted as alerts for your external bot or manual handling
Strategy Type:
Volatility-Adaptive Trend Following + Impulse Detection
using Renko-like structure and multi-layer Laguerre filters.
Repainting:
Designed to be non-repainting on closed candles.
The underlying Risk Management engine is built around previous-bar data (close , high , low ) for execution-critical logic.
Intrabar values can move while the bar is forming (normal for any advanced signal), but once a bar closes, the alert logic is stable.
Recommended Alert Settings:
Condition: one of the built-in signals (see section 3.B)
Options: “Once Per Bar Close” is strongly recommended for automation
Message: JSON, CSV, or simple tokens – whatever your webhook / relay expects
3. Detailed Report: How the Alerts Edition Works
A. Relationship to the Strategy Version
The Alerts Edition shares the same internal logic as the strategy version:
Same Adaptive Lookback and volatility normalization
Same Range and Close Range construction
Same Renko Brick Emulator and directional memory (renkoDir)
Same Fib structures, Laguerre stack, K-Means SuperTrend, and Baseline signals (B1, B2)
Same Risk Management Engine and layered exits
In the strategy script, these signals are wired into strategy.entry, strategy.exit, and strategy.close.
In the alerts script:
We still compute the final entry/exit signals (Fin, CloseEmAll, TakeProfit1Plot, etc.)
Instead of placing trades, we:
Plot them for visual inspection
Expose them via alertcondition(...) so that TradingView can fire alerts.
This ensures that:
If you use the same settings on the same symbol/timeframe, the Alerts Edition and Strategy Edition agree on where entries and exits occur.
(Subject only to normal intrabar vs. bar-close differences.)
B. Signals & Alert Conditions
The alerts script focuses on discrete, automation-friendly events.
Internally, the main signals are:
Fin – Final entry decision from the RM engine
CloseEmAll – RM-driven “hard close” signal (for full-position exits)
TakeProfit1Plot / 2Plot / 3Plot – One-time event markers when each TP stage is hit
On the chart (in the separate indicator pane), you get:
plot(Fin) – where:
+2 = Long Entry event
-2 = Short Entry event
plot(CloseEmAll) – where:
+1 = “Close Long” event
-1 = “Close Short” event
plot(TP1/TP2/TP3) (if Staged TP is enabled) – integer tags for TP hits:
+1 / +2 / +3 = TP1 / TP2 / TP3 for Longs
-1 / -2 / -3 = TP1 / TP2 / TP3 for Shorts
The corresponding alertconditions are:
Long Entry
alertcondition(Fin == 2, title="Long Entry", message="Long Entry Triggered")
Fire this to open/scale a long position in your bot.
Short Entry
alertcondition(Fin == -2, title="Short Entry", message="Short Entry Triggered")
Fire this to open/scale a short position.
Close Long
alertcondition(CloseEmAll == 1, title="Close Long", message="Close Long Triggered")
Fire this to fully exit a long position.
Close Short
alertcondition(CloseEmAll == -1, title="Close Short", message="Close Short Triggered")
Fire this to fully exit a short position.
TP 1 Hit
alertcondition(TakeProfit1Plot != 0, title="TP 1 Hit", message="TP 1 Level Reached")
First staged take profit hit (either long or short). Your bot can interpret the direction based on position state or message tags.
TP 2 Hit
alertcondition(TakeProfit2Plot != 0, title="TP 2 Hit", message="TP 2 Level Reached")
TP 3 Hit
alertcondition(TakeProfit3Plot != 0, title="TP 3 Hit", message="TP 3 Level Reached")
Together, these give you a complete trade lifecycle:
Open Long / Short
Optionally scale out via TP1/TP2/TP3
Close remaining via Close Long / Close Short
All while the Risk Management Engine enforces the same logic as the strategy version.
C. Using This Script for Automation
This Alerts Edition is designed for:
Webhook-based bots
Execution relays (e.g., your own Lynx-Relay-style engine)
Dedicated external trade managers
Typical setup flow:
Add the script to your chart
Same symbol, timeframe, and settings you use in the Strategy Edition backtests.
Configure Inputs:
Longs / Shorts enabled
Risk Management toggles (SL, TS, Staged TP, AATS, RSIS)
Weekend filter (if you do not want weekend trades)
RBR-specific knobs (Adaptive Lookback, Brick type, ATR vs Standard Brick, etc.)
Create Alerts for Each Event Type You Need:
Long Entry
Short Entry
Close Long
Close Short
TP1 / TP2 / TP3 (optional, if your bot handles partial closes)
For each:
Condition: the corresponding alertcondition
Option: “Once Per Bar Close” is strongly recommended
Message:
You can use structured JSON or a simple token set like:
{"side":"long","event":"entry","symbol":"{{ticker}}","time":"{{timenow}}"}
or a simpler text for manual trading like:
LONG ENTRY | {{ticker}} | {{interval}}
Wire Up Your Bot / Relay:
Point TradingView’s webhook URL to your execution engine
Parse the messages and map them into:
Exchange
Symbol
Side (long/short)
Action (open/close/partial)
Size and risk model (this script does not position-size for you; it only signals when, not how much.)
Because the alerts come from a non-repainting, RM-backed engine that you’ve already validated via the Strategy Edition, you get a much cleaner automation pipeline.
D. Repainting Protection (Alerts Edition)
The same protections as the Strategy Edition apply here:
Execution-critical logic (trailing stop, TP triggers, SL, RM state changes) uses previous bar OHLC:
open , high , low , close
No security() with lookahead or future-bar dependencies.
This means:
Alerts are designed to fire on states that would have been visible at bar close, not on hypothetical “future history.”
Important practical note:
Intrabar: While a bar is forming, internal conditions can oscillate.
Bar Close: With “Once Per Bar Close” alerts, the fired signal corresponds to the final state of the engine for that candle, matching your Strategy Edition expectations.
4. For Developers & Modders
You can treat this Alerts script as an ”RM + Alert Framework” and inject any signal logic you want.
Where to plug in:
Find the section:
// BASELINE & SIGNAL GENERATION
You’ll see how B1 and B2 are built from the RBR stack and then combined:
baseSig = B2
altSig = B1
finalSig = sigSwap ? baseSig : altSig
To use your own logic:
Replace or wrap the code that sets baseSig / altSig with your own conditions:
e.g., RSI, MACD, Heikin Ashi filters, candle patterns, volume filters, etc.
Make sure your final decision is still:
2 → Long / Buy signal
-2 → Short / Sell signal
0 → No trade
finalSig is then passed into the RM engine and eventually becomes Fin, which:
Drives the Long/Short Entry alerts
Interacts with the RM state machine to integrate properly with AATS, SL, TS, TP, etc.
Because this script already exposes alertconditions for key lifecycle events, you don’t need to re-wire alerts each time — just ensure your logic feeds into finalSig correctly.
This lets you use the Signal Lynx Risk Management Engine + Alerts wrapper as a drop-in chassis for your own strategies.

Superior-Range Bound Renko - Strategy - 11-29-25 - SignalLynxSuperior-Range Bound Renko Strategy with Advanced Risk Management Template
Signal Lynx | Free Scripts supporting Automation for the Night-Shift Nation 🌙
1. Overview
Welcome to Superior-Range Bound Renko (RBR) — a volatility-aware, structure-respecting swing-trading system built on top of a full Risk Management (RM) Template from Signal Lynx.
Instead of relying on static lookbacks (like “14-period RSI”) or plain MA crosses, Superior RBR:
Adapts its range definition to market volatility in real time
Emulates Renko Bricks on a standard, time-based chart (no Renko chart type required)
Uses a stack of Laguerre Filters to detect genuine impulse vs. noise
Adds an Adaptive SuperTrend powered by a small k-means-style clustering routine on volatility
Under the hood, this script also includes the full Signal Lynx Risk Management Engine:
A state machine that separates “Signal” from “Execution”
Layered exit tools: Stop Loss, Trailing Stop, Staged Take Profit, Advanced Adaptive Trailing Stop (AATS), and an RSI-style stop (RSIS)
Designed for non-repainting behavior on closed candles by basing execution-critical logic on previous-bar data
We are publishing this as an open-source template so traders and developers can leverage a professional-grade RM engine while integrating their own signal logic if they wish.
2. Quick Action Guide (TL;DR)
Best Timeframe:
4 Hours (H4) and above. This is a high-conviction swing-trading system, not a scalper.
Best Assets:
Volatile instruments that still respect market structure:
Bitcoin, Ethereum, Gold (XAUUSD), high-volatility Forex pairs (e.g., GBPJPY), indices with clean ranges.
Strategy Type:
Volatility-Adaptive Trend Following + Impulse Detection.
It hunts for genuine expansion out of ranges, not tiny mean-reversion nibbles.
Key Feature:
Renko Emulation on time-based candles.
We mathematically model Renko Bricks and overlay them on your standard chart to define:
“Equilibrium” zones (inside the brick structure)
“Breakout / impulse” zones (when price AND the impulse line depart from the bricks)
Repainting:
Designed to be non-repainting on closed candles.
All RM execution logic uses confirmed historical data (no future bars, no security() lookahead). Intrabar flicker during formation is allowed, but once a bar closes the engine’s decisions are stable.
Core Toggles & Filters:
Enable Longs and Shorts independently
Optional Weekend filter (block trades on Saturday/Sunday)
Per-module toggles: Stop Loss, Trailing Stop, Staged Take Profits, AATS, RSIS
3. Detailed Report: How It Works
A. The Strategy Logic: Superior RBR
Superior RBR builds its entry signal from multiple mathematical layers working together.
1) Adaptive Lookback (Volatility Normalization)
Instead of a fixed 100-bar or 200-bar range, the script:
Computes ATR-based volatility over a user-defined period.
Normalizes that volatility relative to its recent min/max.
Maps the normalized value into a dynamic lookback window between a minimum and maximum (e.g., 4 to 100 bars).
High Volatility:
The lookback shrinks, so the system reacts faster to explosive moves.
Low Volatility:
The lookback expands, so the system sees a “bigger picture” and filters out chop.
All the core “Range High/Low” and “Range Close High/Low” boundaries are built on top of this adaptive window.
2) Range Construction & Quick Ranges
The engine constructs several nested ranges:
Outer Range:
rangeHighFinal – dynamic highest high
rangeLowFinal – dynamic lowest low
Inner Close Range:
rangeCloseHighFinal – highest close
rangeCloseLowFinal – lowest close
Quick Ranges:
“Half-length” variants of those, used to detect more responsive changes in structure and volatility.
These ranges define:
The macro box price is trading inside
Shorter-term “pressure zones” where price is coiling before expansion
3) Renko Emulation (The Bricks)
Rather than using the Renko chart type (which discards time), this script emulates Renko behavior on your normal candles:
A “brick size” is defined either:
As a standard percentage move, or
As a volatility-driven (ATR) brick, optionally inhibited by a minimum standard size
The engine tracks a base value and derives:
brickUpper – top of the emulated brick
brickLower – bottom of the emulated brick
When price moves sufficiently beyond those levels, the brick “shifts”, and the directional memory (renkoDir) updates:
renkoDir = +2 when bricks are advancing upward
renkoDir = -2 when bricks are stepping downward
You can think of this as a synthetic Renko tape overlaid on time-based candles:
Inside the brick: equilibrium / consolidation
Breaking away from the brick: momentum / expansion
4) Impulse Tracking with Laguerre Filters
The script uses multiple Laguerre Filters to smooth price and brick-derived data without traditional lag.
Key filters include:
LagF_1 / LagF_W: Based on brick upper/lower baselines
LagF_Q: Based on HLCC4 (high + low + 2×close)/4
LagF_Y / LagF_P: Complex averages combining brick structures and range averages
LagF_V (Primary Impulse Line):
A smooth, high-level impulse line derived from a blend of the above plus the outer ranges
Conceptually:
When the impulse line pushes away from the brick structure and continues in one direction, an impulse move is underway.
When its direction flips and begins to roll over, the impulse is fading, hinting at mean reversion back into the range.
5) Fib-Based Structure & Swaps
The system also layers in Fib levels derived from the adaptive ranges:
Standard levels (12%, 23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61%, 76.8%, 88%) from the main range
A secondary “swap” set derived from close-range dynamics (fib12Swap, fib23Swap, etc.)
These Fibs are used to:
Bucket price into structural zones (below 12, between 23–38, etc.)
Detect breakouts when price and Laguerre move beyond key Fib thresholds
Drive zSwap logic (where a secondary Fib set becomes the active structure once certain conditions are met)
6) Adaptive SuperTrend with K-Means-Style Volatility Clustering
Under the hood, the script uses a small k-means-style clustering routine on ATR:
ATR is measured over a fixed period
The range of ATR values is split into Low, Medium, High volatility centroids
Current ATR is assigned to the nearest centroid (cluster)
From that, a SuperTrend variant (STK) is computed with dynamic sensitivity:
In quiet markets, SuperTrend can afford to be tighter
In wild markets, it widens appropriately to avoid constant whipsaw
This SuperTrend-based oscillator (LagF_K and its signals) is then combined with the brick and Laguerre stack to confirm valid trend regimes.
7) Final Baseline Signals (+2 / -2)
The “brain” of Superior RBR lives in the Baseline & Signal Generation block:
Two composite signals are built: B1 and B2:
They combine:
Fib breakouts
Renko direction (renkoDir)
Expansion direction (expansionQuickDir)
Multiple Laguerre alignments (LagF_Q, LagF_W, LagF_Y, LagF_Z, LagF_P, LagF_V)
They also factor in whether Fib structures are expanding or contracting.
A user toggle selects the “Baseline” signal:
finalSig = B2 (default) or B1 (alternate baseline)
finalSig is then filtered through the RM state machine and only when everything aligns, we emit:
+2 = Long / Buy signal
-2 = Short / Sell signal
0 = No new trade
Those +2 / -2 values are what feed the Risk Management Engine.
B. The Risk Management (RM) Engine
This script features the Signal Lynx Risk Management Engine, a proprietary state machine built to separate Signal from Execution.
Instead of firing orders directly on indicator conditions, we:
Convert the raw signal into a clean integer (Fin = +2 / -2 / 0)
Feed it into a Trade State Machine that understands:
Are we flat?
Are we in a long or short?
Are we in a closing sequence?
Should we permit re-entry now or wait?
Logic Injection / Template Concept:
The RM engine expects a simple integer:
+2 → Buy
-2 → Sell
Everything else (0) is “no new trade”
This makes the script a template:
You can remove the Superior RBR block
Drop in your own logic (RSI, MACD, price action, etc.)
As long as you output +2 or -2 into the same signal channel, the RM engine can drive all exits and state transitions.
Aggressive vs Conservative Modes:
The input AgressiveRM (Aggressive RM) governs how we interpret signals:
Conservative Mode (Aggressive RM = false):
Uses a more filtered internal signal (AF) to open trades
Effectively waits for a clean trend flip / confirmation before new entries
Minimizes whipsaw at the cost of fewer trades
Aggressive Mode (Aggressive RM = true):
Reacts directly to the fresh alert (AO) pulses
Allows faster re-entries in the same direction after RM-based exits
Still respects your pyramiding setting; this script ships with pyramiding = 0 by default, so it will not stack multiple positions unless you change that parameter in the strategy() call.
The state machine enforces discipline on top of your signal logic, reducing double-fires and signal spam.
C. Advanced Exit Protocols (Layered Defense)
The exit side is where this template really shines. Instead of a single “take profit or stop loss,” it uses multiple, cooperating layers.
1) Hard Stop Loss
A classic percentage-based Stop Loss (SL) relative to the entry price.
Acts as a final “catastrophic protection” layer for unexpected moves.
2) Standard Trailing Stop
A percentage-based Trailing Stop (TS) that:
Activates only after price has moved a certain percentage in your favor (tsActivation)
Then trails price by a configurable percentage (ts)
This is a straightforward, battle-tested trailing mechanism.
3) Staged Take Profits (Three Levels)
The script supports three staged Take Profit levels (TP1, TP2, TP3):
Each stage has:
Activation percentage (how far price must move in your favor)
Trailing amount for that stage
Position percentage to close
Example setup:
TP1:
Activate at +10%
Trailing 5%
Close 10% of the position
TP2:
Activate at +20%
Trailing 10%
Close another 10%
TP3:
Activate at +30%
Trailing 5%
Close the remaining 80% (“runner”)
You can tailor these quantities for partial scaling out vs. letting a core position ride.
4) Advanced Adaptive Trailing Stop (AATS)
AATS is a sophisticated volatility- and structure-aware stop:
Uses Hirashima Sugita style levels (HSRS) to model “floors” and “ceilings” of price:
Dungeon → Lower floors → Mid → Upper floors → Penthouse
These levels classify where current price sits within a long-term distribution.
Combines HSRS with Bollinger-style envelopes and EMAs to determine:
Is price extended far into the upper structure?
Is it compressed near the lower ranges?
From this, it computes an adaptive factor that controls how tight or loose the trailing level (aATS / bATS) should be:
High Volatility / Penthouse areas:
Stop loosens to avoid getting wicked out by inevitable spikes.
Low Volatility / compressed structure:
Stop tightens to lock in and protect profit.
AATS is designed to be the “smart last line” that responds to context instead of a single fixed percentage.
5) RSI-Style Stop (RSIS)
On top of AATS, the script includes a RSI-like regime filter:
A McGinley Dynamic mean of price plus ATR bands creates a dynamic channel.
Crosses above the top band and below the lower band change a directional state.
When enabled (UseRSIS):
RSIS can confirm or veto AATS closes:
For longs: A shift to bearish RSIS can force exits sooner.
For shorts: A shift to bullish RSIS can do the same.
This extra layer helps avoid over-reactive stops in strong trends while still respecting a regime change when it happens.
D. Repainting Protection
Many strategies look incredible in the Strategy Tester but fail in live trading because they rely on intrabar values or future-knowledge functions.
This template is built with closed-candle realism in mind:
The Risk Management logic explicitly uses previous bar data (open , high , low , close ) for the key decisions on:
Trailing stop updates
TP triggers
SL hits
RM state transitions
No security() lookahead or future-bar access is used.
This means:
Backtest behavior is designed to match what you can actually get with TradingView alerts and live automation.
Signals may “flicker” intrabar while the candle is forming (as with any strategy), but on closed candles, the RM decisions are stable and non-repainting.
4. For Developers & Modders
We strongly encourage you to mod this script.
To plug your own strategy into the RM engine:
Look for the section titled:
// BASELINE & SIGNAL GENERATION
You will see composite logic building B1 and B2, and then selecting:
baseSig = B2
altSig = B1
finalSig = sigSwap ? baseSig : altSig
You can replace the content used to generate baseSig / altSig with your own logic, for example:
RSI crosses
MACD histogram flips
Candle pattern detectors
External condition flags
Requirements are simple:
Your final logic must output:
2 → Buy signal
-2 → Sell signal
0 → No new trade
That output flows into the RM engine via finalSig → AlertOpen → state machine → Fin.
Once you wire your signals into finalSig, the entire Risk Management system (Stops, TPs, AATS, RSIS, re-entry logic, weekend filters, long/short toggles) becomes available for your custom strategy without re-inventing the wheel.
This makes Superior RBR not just a strategy, but a reference architecture for serious Pine dev work.

Super-AO Engine - Sentiment Ribbon - 11-29-25Super-AO Sentiment Ribbon by Signal Lynx
Overview:
The Super-AO Sentiment Ribbon is the visual companion to the Super-AO Strategy Suite.
While the main strategy handles the complex mathematics of entries and risk management, this tool provides a simple "Traffic Light" visual at the top of your chart to gauge the overall health of the market.
How It Works:
This indicator takes the core components of the Super-AO strategy (The SuperTrend and the Awesome Oscillator), calculates the spread between them and the current price, and generates a normalized "Sentiment Score."
Reading the Colors:
🟢 Lime / Green: Strong Upward Momentum. Ideally, you only want to take Longs here.
🟤 Olive / Yellow: Trend is weakening. Be careful with new entries, or consider taking profit.
⚪ Gray: The "Kill Zone." The market is chopping sideways. Automated strategies usually suffer here.
🟠 Orange / Red: Strong Downward Momentum. Ideally, you only want to take Shorts here.
Integration:
This script uses the same default inputs as our Super-AO Strategy Template and Alerts Template. Use them together to confirm your automated entries visually.

Super-AO with Risk Management Alerts Template - 11-29-25Super-AO with Risk Management: ALERTS & AUTOMATION Edition
Signal Lynx | Free Scripts supporting Automation for the Night-Shift Nation 🌙
1. Overview
This is the Indicator / Alerts companion to the Super-AO Strategy.
While the Strategy version is built for backtesting (verifying profitability and checking historical performance), this Indicator version is built for Live Execution.
We understand the frustration of finding a great strategy, only to realize you can't easily hook it up to your trading bot. This script solves that. It contains the exact same "Super-AO" logic and "Risk Management Engine" as the strategy version, but it is optimized to send signals to automation platforms like Signal Lynx, 3Commas, or any Webhook listener.
2. Quick Action Guide (TL;DR)
Purpose: Live Signal Generation & Automation.
Workflow:
Use the Strategy Version to find profitable settings.
Copy those settings into this Indicator Version.
Set a TradingView Alert using the "Any Alert() function call" condition.
Best Timeframe: 4 Hours (H4) and above.
Compatibility: Works with any webhook-based automation service.
3. Why Two Scripts?
Pine Script operates in two distinct modes:
Strategy Mode: Calculates equity, drawdowns, and simulates orders. Great for research, but sometimes complex to automate.
Indicator Mode: Plots visual data on the chart. This is the preferred method for setting up robust alerts because it is lighter weight and plots specific values that automation services can read easily.
The Golden Rule: Always backtest on the Strategy, but trade on the Indicator. This ensures that what you see in your history matches what you execute in real-time.
4. How to Automate This Script
This script uses a "Visual Spike" method to trigger alerts. Instead of drawing equity curves, it plots numerical values at the bottom of your chart when a trade event occurs.
The Signal Map:
Blue Spike (2 / -2): Entry Signal (Long / Short).
Yellow Spike (1 / -1): Risk Management Close (Stop Loss / Trend Reversal).
Green Spikes (1, 2, 3): Take Profit Levels 1, 2, and 3.
Setup Instructions:
Add this indicator to your chart.
Open your TradingView "Alerts" tab.
Create a new Alert.
Condition: Select SAO - RM Alerts Template.
Trigger: Select Any Alert() function call.
Message: Paste your JSON webhook message (provided by your bot service).
5. The Logic Under the Hood
Just like the Strategy version, this indicator utilizes:
SuperTrend + Awesome Oscillator: High-probability swing trading logic.
Non-Repainting Engine: Calculates signals based on confirmed candle closes to ensure the alert you get matches the chart reality.
Advanced Adaptive Trailing Stop (AATS): Internally calculates volatility to determine when to send a "Close" signal.

Signal Lynx | Free Scripts supporting Automation for the Night-Shift Nation 🌙
1. Overview
Welcome to the Super-AO Strategy. This is more than just a buy/sell indicator; it is a complete, open-source Risk Management (RM) Template designed for the Pine Script community.
At its core, this script implements a robust swing-trading strategy combining the SuperTrend (for macro direction) and the Awesome Oscillator (for momentum). However, the real power lies under the hood: a custom-built Risk Management Engine that handles trade states, prevents repainting, and manages complex exit conditions like Staged Take Profits and Advanced Adaptive Trailing Stops (AATS).
We are releasing this code to help traders transition from simple indicators to professional-grade strategy structures.
2. Quick Action Guide (TL;DR)
Best Timeframe: 4 Hours (H4) and above. Designed for Swing Trading.
Best Assets: "Well-behaved" assets with clear liquidity (Major Forex pairs, BTC, ETH, Indices).
Strategy Type: Trend Following + Momentum Confirmation.
Key Feature: The Risk Management Engine is modular. You can strip out the "Super-AO" logic and insert your own strategy logic into the template easily.
Repainting: Strictly Non-Repainting. The engine calculates logic based on confirmed candle closes.
3. Detailed Report: How It Works
A. The Strategy Logic: Super-AO
The entry logic is based on the convergence of two classic indicators:
SuperTrend: Determines the overall trend bias (Green/Red).
Awesome Oscillator (AO): Measures market momentum.
The Signal:
LONG (+2): SuperTrend is Green AND AO is above the Zero Line AND AO is Rising.
SHORT (-2): SuperTrend is Red AND AO is below the Zero Line AND AO is Falling.
By requiring momentum to agree with the trend, this system filters out many false signals found in ranging markets.
B. The Risk Management (RM) Engine
This script features a proprietary State Machine designed by Signal Lynx. Unlike standard strategies that simply fire orders, this engine separates the Signal from the Execution.
Logic Injection: The engine listens for a specific integer signal: +2 (Buy) or -2 (Sell). This makes the code a Template. You can delete the Super-AO section, write your own logic, and simply pass a +2 or -2 to the RM_EngineInput variable. The engine handles the rest.
Trade States: The engine tracks the state of the trade (Entry, In-Trade, Exiting) to prevent signal spamming.
Aggressive vs. Conservative:
Conservative Mode: Waits for a full trend reversal before taking a new trade.
Aggressive Mode: Allows for re-entries if the trend is strong and valid conditions present themselves again (Pyramiding Type 1).
C. Advanced Exit Protocols
The strategy does not rely on a single exit point. It employs a "Layered Defense" approach:
Hard Stop Loss: A fixed percentage safety net.
Staged Take Profits (Scaling Out): The script allows you to set 3 distinct Take Profit levels. For example, you can close 10% of your position at TP1, 10% at TP2, and let the remaining 80% ride the trend.
Trailing Stop: A standard percentage-based trailer.
Advanced Adaptive Trailing Stop (AATS): This is a highly sophisticated volatility stop. It calculates market structure using Hirashima Sugita (HSRS) levels and Bollinger Bands to determine the "floor" and "ceiling" of price action.
If volatility is high: The stop loosens to prevent wicking out.
If volatility is low: The stop tightens to protect profit.
D. Repainting Protection
Many Pine Script strategies look great in backtesting but fail in live trading because they rely on "real-time" price data that disappears when the candle closes.
This Risk Management engine explicitly pulls data from the previous candle close (close , high , low ) for its calculations. This ensures that the backtest results you see match the reality of live execution.
4. For Developers & Modders
We encourage you to tear this code apart!
Look for the section titled // Super-AO Strategy Logic.
Replace that block with your own RSI, MACD, or Price Action logic.
Ensure your logic outputs a 2 for Buy and -2 for Sell.
Connect it to RM_EngineInput.
You now have a fully functioning Risk Management system for your custom strategy.

BybitMinOrderSizeBybit Order Quantity Compliance Library
This library provides all utility functions required for TradingView strategies
that execute orders on Bybit via webhooks.
Problem:
Bybit enforces two strict rules on every order submitted:
Minimum Order Size – each symbol has its own minimum quantity.
Quantity Precision – each symbol requires rounding to the correct number of decimals.
TradingView does not expose this metadata, so strategies can easily submit
quantities that Bybit rejects as invalid.
Solution (This Library):
This library embeds full Bybit contract metadata, including:
A complete mapping of Bybit symbols → minimum order size
A complete mapping of Bybit symbols → allowed precision (decimal places)
A helper to normalize tickers (removing `.P` suffix for Bybit perpetuals)
It also exposes utility functions to automatically make your quantities valid:
`normalizeTicker()` — removes `.P` for consistent lookup
`getMinOrderSize()` — returns the correct minimum order size
`getPrecisionForTicker()` — returns required quantity precision
`floorQty()` — floors quantities to valid minimum increments
`roundQty()` — rounds quantities to valid decimal precision
Use Cases:
Ensuring webhook strategies never send too-small orders
Rounding limit/market orders correctly before execution
Making Pine strategies execution-accurate for Bybit
Avoiding "order rejected: qty too small / invalid precision" errors
This library is recommended for:
Live trading via TradingView → Bybit webhooks
Backtesting strategies that simulate real Bybit constraints
