趋势曲线解读指南
① 市场状态（曲线颜色）
暗紫色：区间震荡市场 浅红色：弱多头趋势 深红色：强多头趋势 浅绿色：弱空头趋势 深绿色：强空头趋势
② 关键信号区域
红色区域（超买）：趋势曲线 ≥ 0.6 时，可能出现回调风险
绿色区域（超卖）：趋势曲线 ≤ -0.615 时，可能出现反弹机会
③ 锁定机制
在强多头趋势（深红色）和深绿色（强空头趋势）和部分弱趋势期间：
如果趋势曲线突破红色区域（超买）且市场趋势强度保持在强趋势或较强的弱趋势，趋势曲线会锁定在0.7附近（原始曲线以灰色继续）。
如果趋势曲线跌破绿色区域（超卖）且市场趋势强度保持在强趋势或较强的弱趋势，趋势曲线会锁定在-0.7附近（原始曲线以灰色继续）。 这表示趋势可能继续发展，建议等待锁定期结束后再进行操作。
✅ 极端多头趋势的特殊案例：（如ETH在2025年7月10日到20日，趋势曲线一直维持红色，意味着多头趋势不变。但这段时间ETH的趋势曲线曾跌到超卖区，因此曲线曾在底部锁定3个K线的时间，这意味着是多头右侧追多的机会。）
交易信号
① 超买超卖信号
红色区域（超买）：趋势曲线 ≥ 0.6 时，可能出现回调风险
绿色区域（超卖）：趋势曲线 ≤ -0.615 时，可能出现反弹机会
② 成交量爆发信号
顶部红色圆圈：代表成交量比率的爆发期，可能在当前或未来1-6根K线内出现阶段性高点。
底部黄色圆圈：代表成交量比率的潜在底部机会，可能在当前或未来1-6根K线内出现阶段性低点。
✅ 注意连续大量的顶部红色圆圈和底部黄色圆圈的出现，这意味着极端行情的出现。
③ 背离信号
顶背离（卖出信号）：红色倒三角图标（标记为Bearish divergence\Sell）出现在趋势曲线顶部，当价格创新高但趋势曲线未创新高时触发，预示大幅回调风险。
底背离（买入信号）：绿色正三角图标（标记为Bullish divergence\Buy）出现在趋势曲线底部，当价格创新低但趋势曲线未创新低时触发，预示底部反弹机会。
使用注意事项
① 交易所推荐：同时使用币安(Binance)和OKX的BTC/USDT现货数据（不同交易所的量能差异可能影响信号准确性）。
② 特殊行情优化：已针对2024-2025年比特币ETF上市后的低波动行情调整参数，未来将持续根据市场变化优化。
③ 强趋势操作提示：当趋势曲线锁定在超买或超卖区，应减少逆势操作。
④ 首次使用建议：观察历史行情以验证信号特征，震荡市捕捉反转点，趋势市识别延续信号。
最简单操作要诀
✅ 底部抄底组合：强空头趋势转弱空头 + 绿色超卖区 + 底背离绿色三角 + 底部黄色成交量圈
✅ 顶部逃顶组合：强多头趋势转弱多头趋势转换 + 红色超买区 + 顶背离红色三角 + 顶部红色成交量圈
✅ 趋势延续信号：趋势曲线锁定在 ±0.7 时，耐心等待锁定解除

Trend Master Navigator User Guide
⚠ Important: Please read this guide carefully before using the indicator
Core Functionality
This indicator analyzes Bitcoin's trading volume, MACD, RSI, trend strength, and volume ratio to generate the Trend Master Navigator, which oscillates between -1 and 1 to assist in buy/sell decisions. The indicator is best suited for 4-hour (4H) charts and is ideal for 1-2 week swing trading.The Trend Master Navigator is suitable for cryptocurrencies with high spot trading volumes, such as BTC ， ETH , and DOGE .
Interpreting the Trend Curve
① Market States (Curve Colors)
Dark Purple: Range-bound market
Light Red: Weak bullish trend
Deep Red: Strong bullish trend
Light Green: Weak bearish trend
Deep Green: Strong bearish trend
② Key Signal Zones
Red Zone (Overbought): Trend curve ≥ 0.6 → Potential pullback risk
Green Zone (Oversold): Trend curve ≤ -0.615 → Potential rebound opportunity
③ Locking Mechanism
During strong bullish trends (deep red) and strong bearish trends (deep green), and partial weak trends:
If the trend curve breaks above the red zone (overbought) and market trend strength remains in a strong trend or robust weak trend, the trend curve will lock near 0.7 (original curve continues in gray).
If the trend curve breaks below the green zone (oversold) and market trend strength remains in a strong trend or robust weak trend, the trend curve will lock near -0.7 (original curve continues in gray).
This indicates that the trend may continue, and it is advisable to wait until the lock period ends before taking action.
✅ In the context of extreme bullish trends (e.g., ETH from July 10 to 20, 2025, where the trend curve remained red, indicating a persistent bullish trend), even though ETH's trend curve once dipped into the oversold zone, causing the curve to lock at the bottom for 3 K-line periods, this signifies a right-side buying opportunity during the bullish trend.
Trading Signals
① Overbought/Oversold Signals
Red Zone (Overbought): Trend curve ≥ 0.6 → Potential pullback risk
Green Zone (Oversold): Trend curve ≤ -0.615 → Potential rebound opportunity
② Volume Explosion Signals
Top Red Circle: Represents a volume ratio explosion period, possibly indicating a phase peak within the current or next 1-6 bars.
Bottom Yellow Circle: Represents a potential bottom opportunity in volume ratio, possibly indicating a phase trough within the current or next 1-6 bars.
✅ Pay attention to the continuous appearance of top red circles and bottom yellow circles, as this signals the emergence of extreme market conditions.
③ Divergence Signals
Bearish Divergence (Sell): Red inverted triangle icon (marked as Bearish divergence\Sell) appears at the trend curve top when the price makes a new high, but the trend curve does not; this indicates a significant pullback risk.
Bullish Divergence (Buy): Green upright triangle icon (marked as Bullish divergence\Buy) appears at the trend curve bottom when the price makes a new low, but the trend curve does not; this indicates a potential bottom rebound opportunity.
Other Usage Notes
① Exchange Recommendation: Use Binance and OKX BTC/USDT spot data simultaneously (volume discrepancies across different exchanges may affect signal accuracy).
② Special Market Optimization: Parameters have been adjusted for the low-volatility era following the Bitcoin ETF launch (2024-2025) and will continue to be optimized based on market changes.
③ Strong Trend Operation Tips: When the trend curve is locked in overbought or oversold zones, reduce counter-trend operations.
④ First Use Recommendation: Observe historical market trends to validate signal characteristics. Capture reversal points in range-bound markets and identify continuation signals in trending markets.
Simplest Trading Tactics
✅ Bottom Picking Setup: Transition from strong bearish trend to weak bearish + Green oversold zone + Bullish divergence green triangle + Bottom yellow volume circle
✅ Top Selling Setup: Transition from strong bullish trend to weak bullish trend + Red overbought zone + Bearish divergence red triangle + Top red volume circle
✅ Trend Continuation Signal: Trend curve locked at ±0.7 → Wait patiently for lock release

Pattern Finder with MTF Boxes (Break - Fixed)Script Title:
MTF Supply/Demand Zone Indicator with Candlestick Pattern Confirmation
Short Description:
This advanced strategy identifies key Supply and Demand zones (Order Blocks) on higher timeframes (30m & 1h) and then waits for a pullback to these zones on the current timeframe. The final entry signal is triggered upon the appearance of a valid candlestick pattern (e.g., Hammer, Engulfing) within these zones.
Full Description:
Introduction & Core Concept
This script is a powerful trading tool based on a combination of the following concepts:
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Analysis: Identifying significant structures on higher timeframes to understand the bigger market picture.
Supply and Demand Zones: Finding areas where an imbalance between buyers and sellers has caused strong price movements.
Candlestick Patterns: Using classic candlestick patterns as the final confirmation for entering a trade at these key zones.
The main idea is to avoid trading blindly and instead wait for the price to react to a significant zone, then enter with a confirmation signal.
How the Strategy Works (Step-by-Step)
Identifying the Key Pattern on Higher Timeframes:
The script continuously monitors the 30-minute and 1-hour charts to find a specific pattern: a short consolidation period (usually 1-4 candles) immediately followed by a breakout with a powerful, high-momentum candle (Long Bar). This pattern indicates the formation of a fresh Supply or Demand Zone.
Drawing the Supply and Demand Boxes:
Green Box (Demand Zone): When a minor high is broken by a bullish Long Bar, this area is identified as potential support and marked with a green box.
Red Box (Supply Zone): When a minor low is broken by a bearish Long Bar, this area is identified as potential resistance and marked with a red box.
White Box (Long Bar / Trigger Zone): This box highlights the range of the Long Bar candle itself. A break of or return to this zone provides important signals.
Waiting for a Pullback:
After a zone is identified and drawn, the strategy waits for the price on your current chart to pull back into this box.
Entry Confirmation with Candlestick Patterns:
Once the price enters the box, the script looks for reversal candlestick patterns:
In a Demand Zone (Green Box): It looks for bullish patterns like the Hammer, Bullish Engulfing, Bullish Harami, and Morning Star. Upon detection, a BUY label appears on the chart.
In a Supply Zone (Red Box): It looks for bearish patterns like the Hanging Man, Shooting Star, Bearish Engulfing, Bearish Harami, and Evening Star. Upon detection, a SELL label appears.
Breakout Signal:
In addition to reversal signals, if the price breaks the White Box (Long Bar Zone) in the opposite direction, a breakout signal is generated, which could indicate a trend continuation.
Visual Elements on the Chart
Green/Red Boxes: The primary Supply and Demand zones from higher timeframes.
White Boxes: The range of the Long Bar candle that activated the primary zone.
BUY/SELL Labels: Trade signals that appear after a candlestick confirmation within the zones.
Moving Averages (SMA 100 & 200): Included to help identify the overall market trend. Trades aligned with the trend are generally more reliable.
Input Settings
period ATR & Bar multiplayer: Allow you to customize the definition of a "Long Bar" based on market volatility.
Number of candle for long bar avrage: The lookback period for calculating the average candle body size.
multiplayer for tp: A multiplier to calculate the take-profit based on the stop-loss size (Risk-to-Reward ratio).
How to Use This Strategy
Apply the script to your main trading timeframe (e.g., 5-minute or 15-minute).
Wait for a Supply (Red) or Demand (Green) zone to be drawn on your chart.
Be patient and wait for the price to return to this zone.
If a BUY or SELL label appears, consider it a valid entry signal.
Always combine these signals with your own analysis and the overall market context.
Disclaimer: This script is an analytical tool and should not be the sole basis for your trading decisions. Always practice proper risk management and thoroughly backtest its performance before using it in a live account.
Volume Overbought/Oversold Zones📊 What You’ll See on the Chart
Red Background or Red Triangle ABOVE a Candle
🔺 Means: Overbought Volume
→ Volume on that bar is much higher than average (as defined by your settings).
→ Suggests strong activity, possible exhaustion in the trend or an emotional spike.
→ It’s a warning: consider watching for signs of reversal, especially if price is already stretched.
Green Background or Green Triangle BELOW a Candle
🔻 Means: Oversold Volume
→ Volume on that bar is much lower than normal.
→ Suggests the market may be losing momentum, or few sellers are left.
→ Could signal an upcoming reversal or recovery if confirmed by price action.
Orange Line Below the Candles (Volume Moving Average)
📈 Shows the "normal" average volume over the last X candles (default is 20).
→ Helps you visually compare each bar’s volume to the average.
Gray Columns (Actual Volume Bars)
📊 These are your regular volume bars — they rise and fall based on how active each candle is.
🔍 What This Indicator Does (In Simple Words)
This indicator looks at trading volume—which is how many shares/contracts were traded in a given period—and compares it to what's considered "normal" for recent history. When volume is unusually high or low, it highlights those moments on the chart.
It tells you:
• When volume is much higher than normal → market might be overheated or experiencing a buying/selling frenzy.
• When volume is much lower than normal → market might be quiet, potentially indicating lack of interest or indecision.
These conditions are marked visually, so you can instantly spot them.
💡 How It Helps You As a Trader
1. Spotting Exhaustion in Trends (Overbought Signals)
If a market is going up and suddenly volume spikes way above normal, it may mean:
• The move is getting crowded (lots of buyers are already in).
• A reversal or pullback could be near because smart money may be taking profits.
Trading idea: Wait for high-volume up bars, then look for price weakness to consider a short or exit.
2. Identifying Hidden Opportunities (Oversold Signals)
If price is falling but volume drops unusually low, it might mean:
• Panic is fading.
• Sellers are losing energy.
• A bounce or trend reversal could happen soon.
Trading idea: After a volume drop in a downtrend, watch for bullish price patterns or momentum shifts to consider a buy.
3. Confirming or Doubting Breakouts
Volume is critical for confirming breakouts:
• If price breaks a key level with strong volume, it's more likely to continue.
• A breakout without volume could be a fake-out.
This indicator highlights volume surges that can help you confirm such moves.
📈 How to Use It in Practice
• Combine it with candlestick patterns, support/resistance, or momentum indicators.
• Use the background colors or shapes as a visual cue to pause and analyze.
• Adjust the sensitivity to suit fast-moving markets (like crypto) or slow ones (like large-cap stocks).
Uptrick: Universal Z-Score ValuationOverview
The Uptrick: Universal Z-Score Valuation is a tool designed to help traders spot when the market might be overreacting—whether that’s on the upside or the downside. It does this by combining the Z-scores of multiple key indicators into a single average, letting you see how far the current market conditions have stretched away from “normal.” This average is shown as a smooth line, supported by color-coded visuals, signal markers, optional background highlights, and a live breakdown table that shows the contribution of each indicator in real time. The focus here is on spotting potential reversals, not following trends. The indicator works well across all timeframes and asset classes, from fast intraday charts like the 1-minute and 5-minute, to higher timeframes such as the 4-hour, daily, or even weekly. Its universal design makes it suitable for any market — whether you're trading crypto, stocks, forex, or commodities.
Introduction
To understand what this indicator does, let’s start with the idea of a Z-score. In simple terms, a Z-score tells you how far a number is from the average of its recent history, measured in standard deviations. If the price of an asset is two standard deviations above its mean, that means it’s statistically “rare” or extended. That doesn’t guarantee a reversal—but it suggests the move is unusual enough to pay attention.
This concept isn’t new, but what this indicator does differently is apply the Z-score to a wide set of market signals—not just price. It looks at momentum, volatility, volume, risk-adjusted performance, and even institutional price baselines. Each of those indicators is normalized using Z-scores, and then they’re combined into one average. This gives you a single, easy-to-read line that summarizes whether the entire market is behaving abnormally. Instead of reacting to one indicator, you’re reacting to a statistically balanced blend.
Purpose
The goal of this script is to catch turning points—places where the market may be topping out or bottoming after becoming overstretched. It’s built for traders who want to fade sharp moves rather than follow trends. Think of moments when price explodes upward and starts pulling away from every moving average, volume spikes, volatility rises, and RSI shoots up. This tool is meant to spot those situations—not just when price is stretched, but when multiple different indicators agree that something is overdone.
Originality and Uniqueness
Most indicators that use Z-scores only apply them to one thing—price, RSI, or maybe Bollinger Bands. This one is different because it treats each indicator as a contributor to the full picture. You decide which ones to include, and the script averages them out. This makes the tool flexible but also deeply informative.
It doesn’t rely on complex or hidden math. It uses basic Z-score formulas, applies them to well-known indicators, and shows you the result. What makes it unique is the way it brings those signals together—statistically, visually, and interactively—so you can see what’s happening in the moment with full transparency. It’s not trying to be flashy or predictive. It’s just showing you when things have gone too far, too fast.
Inputs and Parameters
This indicator includes a wide range of configurable inputs, allowing users to customize which components are included in the Z-score average, how each indicator is calculated, and how results are displayed visually. Below is a detailed explanation of each input:
General Settings
Z-Score Lookback (default: 100): Number of bars used to calculate the mean and standard deviation for Z-score normalization. Larger values smooth the Z-scores; smaller values make them more reactive.
Bar Color Mode (default: None): Determines how bars are visually colored. Options include: None: No candle coloring applied. - Heat: Smooth gradient based on the Z-score value. - Latest Signal: Applies a solid color based on the most recent buy or sell signal
Boolean - General
Plot Universal Valuation Line (default: true): If enabled, plots the average Z-score (zAvg) line in the separate pane.
Show Signals (default: true): Displays labels ("𝓤𝓹" for buy, "𝓓𝓸𝔀𝓷" for sell) when zAvg crosses above or below user-defined thresholds.
Show Z-Score Table (default: true): Displays a live table listing each enabled indicator's Z-score and the current average.
Select Indicators
These toggles enable or disable each indicator from contributing to the Z-score average:

Use Volume Z-Score (default: false)
Use ATR Z-Score (default: false)
Use RSI Z-Score (default: false)
Use Omega Z-Score (default: true)
Use Sharpe Z-Score (default: true)
Only enabled indicators are included in the average. This modular design allows traders to tailor the signal mix to their preferences.
Indicator Lengths
These inputs control how each individual indicator is calculated:
MACD Fast Length (default: 12)
MACD Slow Length (default: 26)
MACD Signal Length (default: 9)
Bollinger Basis Length (default: 20): Used to compute the Bollinger %B.
Bollinger Deviation Multiplier (default: 2.0): Standard deviation multiplier for the Bollinger Band calculation.
Stochastic Length (default: 14)
ATR Length (default: 14)
RSI Length (default: 14)
ROC Length (default: 10)
Zones
These thresholds define key signal levels for the Z-score average:
Neutral Line Level (default: 0): Baseline for the average Z-score.
Bullish Zone Level (default: -1): Optional intermediate zone suggesting early bullish conditions.
Bearish Zone Level (default: 1): Optional intermediate zone suggesting early bearish conditions.
Z = +2 Line Level (default: 2): Primary threshold for bearish signals.
Z = +3 Line Level (default: 3): Extreme bearish warning level.
Z = -2 Line Level (default: -2): Primary threshold for bullish signals.
Z = -3 Line Level (default: -3): Extreme bullish warning level.
These zone levels are used to generate signals, fill background shading, and draw horizontal lines for visual reference.
Why These Indicators Were Merged
Each indicator in this script was chosen for a specific reason. They all measure something different but complementary.
The VWAP Z-score helps you see when price has moved far from the volume-weighted average, often used by institutions.
Sortino Ratio Z-score focuses only on downside risk, which is often more relevant to traders than overall volatility.
ROC Z-score shows how fast price is changing—strong momentum may burn out quickly.
Price Z-score is the raw measure of how far current price has moved from its mean.
RSI Z-score shows whether momentum itself is stretched.
MACD Histogram Z-score captures shifts in trend strength and acceleration.
%B (Bollinger) Z-score indicates how close price is to the upper or lower volatility envelope.
Stochastic K Z-score gives a sense of how high or low price is relative to its recent range.
Volume Z-score shows when trading activity is unusually high or low.
ATR Z-score gives a read on volatility, showing if price movement is expanding or contracting.
Sharpe Z-score measures reward-to-risk performance, useful for evaluating trend quality.
Omega Z-score looks at the ratio of good returns to bad ones, offering a more nuanced view of efficiency.
By normalizing each of these using Z-scores and averaging only the ones you turn on, the script creates a flexible, balanced view of the market’s statistical stretch.
Calculations
The core formula is the standard Z-score:
Z = (current value - average) / standard deviation
Every indicator uses this formula after it’s calculated using your chosen settings. For example, RSI is first calculated as usual, then its Z-score is calculated over your selected lookback period. The script does this for every indicator you enable. Then it averages those Z-scores together to create a single value: zAvg. That value is plotted and used to generate visual cues, signals, table values, background color changes, and candle coloring.
Sequence
Each selected indicator is calculated using your custom input lengths.
The Z-score of each indicator is computed using the shared lookback period.
All active Z-scores are added up and averaged.
The resulting zAvg value is plotted as a line.
Signal conditions check if zAvg crosses user-defined thresholds (default: ±2).
If enabled, the script plots buy/sell signal labels at those crossover points.
The candle color is updated using your selected mode (heatmap or signal-based).
If extreme Z-scores are reached, background highlighting is applied.
A live table updates with each individual Z-score so you know what’s driving the signal.
Features
This script isn’t just about stats—it’s about making them usable in real time. Every feature has a clear reason to exist, and they’re all there to give you a better read on market conditions.
1. Universal Z-Score Line
This is your primary reference. It reflects the average Z-score across all selected indicators. The line updates live and is color-coded to show how far it is from neutral. The further it gets from 0, the brighter the color becomes—cyan for deeply oversold conditions, magenta for overbought. This gives you instant feedback on how statistically “hot” or “cold” the market is, without needing to read any numbers.
2. Signal Labels (“𝓤𝓹” and “𝓓𝓸𝔀𝓷”)
When the average Z-score drops below your lower bound, you’ll see a "𝓤𝓹" label below the bar, suggesting potential bullish reversal conditions. When it rises above the upper bound, a "𝓓𝓸𝔀𝓷" label is shown above the bar—indicating possible bearish exhaustion. These labels are visually clear and minimal so they don’t clutter your chart. They're based on clear crossover logic and do not repaint.
3. Real-Time Z-Score Table
The table shows each indicator's individual Z-score and the final average. It updates every bar, giving you a transparent breakdown of what’s happening under the hood. If the market is showing an extreme average score, this table helps you pinpoint which indicators are contributing the most—so you’re not just guessing where the pressure is coming from.
4. Bar Coloring Modes
You can choose from three modes:
None: Keeps your candles clean and untouched.
Heat: Applies a smooth gradient color based on Z-score intensity. As conditions become more extreme, candle color transitions from neutral to either cyan (bullish pressure) or magenta (bearish pressure).
Latest Signal: Applies hard coloring based on the most recent signal—greenish for a buy, purple for a sell. This mode is great for tracking market state at a glance without relying on a gradient.
Every part of the candle is colored—body, wick, and border—for full visibility.
5. Background Highlighting
When zAvg enters an extreme zone (typically above +2 or below -2), the background shifts color to reflect the market’s intensity. These changes aren’t overwhelming—they’re light fills that act as ambient warnings, helping you stay aware of when price might be reaching a tipping point.
6. Customizable Zone Lines and Fills
You can define what counts as neutral, overbought, and oversold using manual inputs. Horizontal lines show your thresholds, and shaded regions highlight the most extreme zones (+2 to +3 and -2 to -3). These lines give you visual structure to understand where price currently stands in relation to your personal reversal model.
7. Modular Indicator Control
You don’t have to use all the indicators. You can enable or disable any of the 12 with a simple checkbox. This means you can build your own “blend” of market context—maybe you only care about RSI, price, and volume. Or maybe you want everything on. The script adapts accordingly, only averaging what you select.
8. Fully Customizable Sensitivity and Lengths
You can adjust the Z-score lookback length globally (default 100), and tweak individual indicator lengths separately. This lets you tune the indicator’s responsiveness to suit your trading style—slower for longer swings, faster for scalping.
9. Clean Integration with Any Chart Layout
All visual elements are designed to be informative without taking over your chart. The coloring is soft but clear, the labels are readable without being huge, and you can turn off any feature you don’t need. The indicator can work as a full dashboard or as a simple line with a couple of alerts—it’s up to you.
10. Precise, Real-Time Signal Logic
The crossover logic for signals is exact and only fires when the Z-score moves across your defined boundary. No estimation, no delay. Everything is calculated based on current and previous bar data, and nothing repaints or back-adjusts.
Conclusion
The Universal Z-Score Valuation indicator is a tool for traders who want a clear, unbiased way to detect overextension. Instead of relying on a single signal, you get a composite of several market perspectives—momentum, volatility, volume, and more—all standardized into a single view. The script gives you the freedom to control the logic, the visuals, and the components. Whether you use it as a confirmation tool or a primary signal source, it’s designed to give you clarity when markets become chaotic.
Disclaimer
This indicator is for research and educational use only. It does not constitute financial advice or guarantees of performance. All trading involves risk, and users should test any strategy thoroughly before applying it to live markets. Use this tool at your own discretion.
Supply & Demand MTF[E7T]This is not your average supply and demand tool. it’s a powerful, flexible indicator that helps traders spot high-probability opportunities by adapting to real-time market conditions. It uses a smart combination of volatility (ATR), volume, and price action to identify key zones where the market is likely to react. Perfect for scalpers and swing traders alike, this strategy brings together adaptive zone detection, trend bias (pivot line), two-tiered signals (S1 and S2), volume filtering, built-in Fibonacci targets, and even a debug mode for transparency and performance tracking.
KEY FEATURES
1. ADAPTIVE ZONE DETECTION; This feature highlights areas where price is likely to bounce or reversebullish demand zones and bearish supply zones. Instead of using fixed levels, it adjusts based on market volatility.
HOW IT WORKS:
Uses Average True Range (ATR) to measure volatility.
TWO MODES:
Low Volatility Mode: Makes zones tighter for calm markets.
High Volatility Mode: Expands zones during choppy or fast-moving conditions.
Plots red boxes for supply zones and blue for demand zones. Zones extend until broken or naturally expire.
WHY IT MATTERS: Traditional zone indicators often fall short in fast-changing conditions. This one adjusts automatically, helping you stay one step ahead.
EXAMPLE: On a 4H BTCUSD chart, a demand zone will form at a key support level and adjust its size depending on whether the market is quiet or volatile.
2. MARKET BIAS PIVOT LINE; This dynamic line helps you quickly see whether the market is trending up or down so you can trade in the direction of strength.
HOW IT WORKS:
Based on recent swing highs and lows (default: last 4 bars).
Line is green when price is above (bullish), red when below (bearish).
Updates live and can be turned on/off in settings.
WHY IT MATTERS: It’s a built-in trend filter. Use it to avoid fighting the market.
EXAMPLE: If SPY is above a green pivot and enters a demand zone, it’s a solid bullish setup.
3. DUAL ENTRY SIGNALS (S1 and S2) The strategy gives you two signal types depending on your risk style:
S1 SIGNALS: Early entry, based on basic confirmation (like a bullish engulfing pattern).
S2 SIGNALS: Stronger entry, requiring solid candle confirmation, volume spike, and close near the zone.
HOW IT WORKS:
S1 = good for aggressive traders or small size entries.
S2 = better for high-conviction trades and bigger position sizes.
Both signals follow your selected market mood (bullish or bearish).
WHY IT MATTERS: Flexibility! Most indicators only offer one signal style. This one gives you choice.
EXAMPLE: In EURUSD, S1 might show up when price taps a demand zone and forms a small bullish candle. If volume increases and the next candle closes strong, S2 confirms the entry.
4. VOLUME CONFIRMATION This filters out weak signals by checking for real buying/selling interest.
HOW IT WORKS:
Compares current volume to previous bar and a 10–14 bar average.
Adjustable volume thresholds for S1 and S2.
Can be disabled for markets with unreliable volume (like certain forex pairs).
WHY IT MATTERS: It adds a layer of quality control. High-volume moves usually mean higher conviction.
EXAMPLE: On AAPL, an S2 will only trigger if volume jumps by 1.3x the average, signaling strong seller presence.
5. BUILT-IN FIBONACCI TARGETS (TP1, TP2, SL) No more guessing exits. The strategy draws take profit (TP) and stop loss (SL) levels automatically based on zone size.
HOW IT WORKS:
TP1 = 2.12x the zone height
TP2 = 3.3x the zone height
SL = 1x the zone height (all adjustable)
These are shown as dashed (TP) and solid (SL) lines with labels
WHY IT MATTERS: Reduces emotional decision-making. Helps you plan trades with consistent risk/reward.
Example: In GOLD, if the demand zone is $20 tall, TP1 would be ~$42.40 higher, TP2 ~$66 higher, and SL $20 lower.
6. FULLY CUSTOMIZABLE INPUTS Tweak the settings to match your style and asset type.
KEY INPUTS:
Market Mood: Choose bullish (1) or bearish (2)
Timeframe Filter: Focus only on reliable zones (30M or 4H) or can disable to show on every timeframe
Zone Limit: Limit how many zones show (e.g., max 4)
Breakout Buffer: Defines how much price must move to break a zone
Zone Opacity: Make zones more/less visible
WHY IT MATTERS: This lets you dial in the indicator for scalping, swing trading, crypto, stocks, or forex.
Example: A scalper might use tighter zones and a low breakout buffer, while a swing trader prefers more zones and higher volatility mode.
7. DEBUG MODE (Optional) Get under the hood and see exactly how the strategy works.
HOW IT WORKS:
Shows metrics like ATR, volatility mode, memory usage, signal win rate, etc.
Plots visual lines showing zone age and success rate (TP1 hit tracking)
WHY IT MATTERS: Very few indicators show their math. This one does—great for power users who want to optimize.
EXAMPLE: You might discover that signals perform best in high volatility mode during news events, helping you adjust settings accordingly.
HOW TO USE IT
1. Add it to your TradingView chart (30M or 4H timeframes recommended).
2. Adjust inputs:
Market Mood = 1 (bullish) or 2 (bearish)
Pick your Volatility Mode
Set Zone Collector Limit (3–4 works well)
Use Timeframe Filter for better signals
3. Watch for S1 and S2:
S1 = quicker trades, lighter risk
S2 = stronger confirmation, bigger trades
4. Use the Pivot Line for trade direction.
5. Manage exits with auto TP/SL levels.
6. Turn on Debug Mode if you want detailed stats.
WORKS VERY WELL WITHOUT REPAINTING
Why It’s a Game-Changer; IT takes the guesswork out of zone trading. It’s not just smart—it’s adaptive. From volatility and volume to dynamic signals and exit plans, everything adjusts based on what the market is doing. And with a built-in trend filter and real-time debug info, it’s like having a trading co-pilot that’s always alert.
Why It’s Different Most zone indicators are basic. This one isn’t. Here’s why:
Adaptive zones that change with the market
Dual signal system (S1/S2) for flexibility
Volume confirmation to filter noise
Built-in Fibonacci targets for clean exits
Debug mode that shows you how it works
YOU CAN SET ALERTS WITHOUT repainting
THIS isn’t just another tool—it’s a smarter, more responsive way to trade.
Volume Delta Candles 5TF + MTF Candles [SYNC & TRADE]Volume Delta Candles 5TF + MTF Candles Script Description (English)
Purpose
The Volume Delta Candles 5TF + MTF Candles script is an analytical tool for traders leveraging volume delta and multi-timeframe (MTF) analysis. It visualizes volume delta (the difference between buying and selling volumes) across five timeframes, aiding in the identification of manipulations, strong market impulses, and trend signals.
Additionally, it overlays higher timeframe candles on the current chart, providing context for decision-making.
The indicator is ideal for traders focusing on volume, manipulation analysis, or trend-following strategies. Its uniqueness lies in its detailed five-timeframe delta analysis, automated timeframe selection, and customizable settings.
Volume Delta Analysis
Volume delta is the core metric of the script, representing the difference between buying and selling volumes over a given period. It is divided into five levels, each corresponding to one of the five timeframes, enabling traders to observe how market activity varies across temporal scales. The primary delta is automatically adjusted based on the selected chart timeframe, ensuring relevance.
Timeframe Selection
Primary Timeframes: Automatically determined based on the chart, including monthly, weekly, daily, 4-hour, and hourly periods. These cover long- and medium-term trends, providing a robust context.
Lower Timeframes: Optimized to capture significant short-term movements. These are shorter than primary timeframes and focus on market micro-activity, such as manipulations or impulses.
Five Timeframe Interconnection
The five timeframes provide a comprehensive analysis by balancing granularity and context. Each timeframe evaluates volume delta, creating a layered perspective:
Short Timeframes: Capture immediate changes in activity (e.g., buying or selling spikes).
Long Timeframes: Assess the sustainability of movements, filtering out short-term noise. Delta for each timeframe is displayed as a separate candle, with color and size reflecting its magnitude and direction. This allows traders to compare short-term actions against broader trends.
Delta’s Impact on Candles
Volume delta directly influences candle visualization, reflecting market dynamics. Splitting delta into five parts (one per timeframe) makes the analysis intuitive. Key scenarios include:
Small Delta on Lower Timeframe, Large on Higher:
Description: A low timeframe shows minimal delta (e.g., slight buying/selling difference), while a higher timeframe shows significant delta (e.g., strong buying dominance).
Interpretation: Suggests large players accumulating positions on the higher timeframe, masked by low activity on the lower. Traders may enter in the direction of the higher trend.
Visualization: The lower timeframe candle is narrow and faint, while the higher timeframe candle is wide and vibrant (blue for positive delta, red for negative).
Large Delta on Lower Timeframe, Small on Higher:
Description: A low timeframe exhibits strong delta (e.g., a selling surge), but the higher timeframe shows weak activity.
Interpretation: Indicates a short-term impulse or manipulation unsupported by the broader trend. Traders should be cautious, as the move may be false.
Visualization: The lower timeframe candle is bright and wide, while the higher timeframe candle is faint and narrow.
Reverse Delta:
Description: A lower timeframe shows positive delta (buying dominance), while a higher timeframe shows negative delta (selling dominance), or vice versa.
Interpretation: Suggests potential manipulation or reversal. For example, short-term buying may be absorbed by selling on a higher timeframe, signaling bearish weakness.
Visualization: Candles on different timeframes have opposing colors (e.g., blue on lower, red on higher).
Deltas in Both Directions:
Description: Delta alternates between positive and negative across timeframes without clear dominance.
Interpretation: Reflects market indecision or consolidation. Traders should wait for clearer signals or use additional indicators.
Visualization: Candles across timeframes show mixed colors and sizes, creating a “scattered” pattern.
Empty Candles (Void):
Description: Delta on one or more timeframes is near zero despite price movement.
Interpretation: Indicates false movement or lack of market interest, often tied to manipulations like false breakouts.
Visualization: Marked with a diamond (void manipulation), with the candle appearing minimal and faint.
Utility
Detailed Delta Analysis: Five delta levels reveal market activity from micro- to macro-levels.
Manipulation Detection: Highlights candles with price-delta divergence, aiding in spotting false moves.
Strong Candles: Marks impulsive moves with high delta and volume.
MTF Analysis: Displays higher timeframe candles, simplifying trend and key level analysis.
Versatility: Sensitivity settings make it suitable for stocks, forex, crypto, and all timeframes.

Описание скрипта Volume Delta Candles 5TF + MTF Candles (Русский)
Назначение
Скрипт Volume Delta Candles 5TF + MTF Candles — это аналитический инструмент для трейдеров, использующих дельту объема и анализ нескольких таймфреймов (MTF). Он визуализирует дельту объема (разницу между объемами покупок и продаж) на пяти таймфреймах, помогая выявлять манипуляции, сильные рыночные импульсы и трендовые сигналы. Дополнительно скрипт отображает свечи старшего таймфрейма на текущем графике, предоставляя контекст для принятия решений.
Индикатор подходит для трейдеров, работающих с объемами, анализом манипуляций или трендовыми стратегиями. Его уникальность заключается в детализированном анализе дельты объема на пяти таймфреймах, адаптивной автоматизации таймфреймов и гибких настройках.
Анализ дельты объема
Дельта объема — это ключевая метрика скрипта, отражающая разницу между объемами покупок и продаж за определенный период. Она разделена на пять уровней, соответствующих пяти таймфреймам, что позволяет трейдерам видеть, как рыночная активность варьируется на разных временных масштабах. Основная дельта подбирается автоматически в зависимости от выбранного таймфрейма графика, обеспечивая релевантность анализа.
Выбор таймфреймов
Основные таймфреймы: Автоматически определяются на основе текущего графика и включают месяц, неделю, день, 4 часа и час. Эти таймфреймы выбраны для охвата долгосрочных и среднесрочных трендов, обеспечивая контекст для анализа.
Нижние таймфреймы: Подбираются методом оптимизации для выявления наиболее значимых краткосрочных движений. Они короче основных таймфреймов и фокусируются на микроактивности рынка, такой как манипуляции или импульсы.
Взаимосвязь пяти таймфреймов
Пять таймфреймов обеспечивают комплексный анализ, сочетая детализацию и контекст. Каждый таймфрейм анализирует дельту объема, создавая многослойную картину:
Короткие таймфреймы: Улавливают моментальные изменения активности (например, всплеск покупок или продаж).
Длинные таймфреймы: Оценивают устойчивость движений, фильтруя шум краткосрочных колебаний. Дельта на каждом таймфрейме отображается отдельной свечой, с цветом и размером, зависящими от ее величины и направления. Это позволяет трейдерам сравнивать, как краткосрочные действия соотносятся с более широкими трендами.
Влияние дельты на свечи
Дельта объема напрямую влияет на визуализацию свечей, отражая рыночную динамику. Разделение дельты на пять частей (по одному для каждого таймфрейма) делает анализ интуитивно понятным. Рассмотрим ключевые сценарии:
Маленькая дельта на низком таймфрейме, большая на высоком:
Описание: На младшем таймфрейме дельта мала (например, незначительная разница между покупками и продажами), но на старшем таймфрейме дельта велика (например, сильный перевес покупок).
Интерпретация: Это может указывать на накопление позиций крупными игроками на старшем таймфрейме, маскируемое низкой активностью на младшем. Трейдеры могут использовать это как сигнал для входа в направлении старшего тренда.
Визуализация: Свеча младшего таймфрейма будет узкой и бледной, а свеча старшего — широкой и яркой (синяя для положительной дельты, красная для отрицательной).
Большая дельта на низком таймфрейме, маленькая на высоком:
Описание: На младшем таймфрейме наблюдается сильная дельта (например, всплеск продаж), но на старшем — слабая активность.
Интерпретация: Это может быть краткосрочным импульсом или манипуляцией, не поддерживаемой общим трендом. Трейдеры должны быть осторожны, так как движение может быть ложным.
Визуализация: Свеча младшего таймфрейма яркая и широкая, а старшего — бледная и узкая.
Обратная дельта:
Описание: Дельта на младшем таймфрейме положительная (покупки преобладают), а на старшем — отрицательная (продажи доминируют), или наоборот.
Интерпретация: Указывает на потенциальную манипуляцию или разворот. Например, краткосрочные покупки могут быть поглощены продажами на старшем таймфрейме, сигнализируя о слабости быков.
Визуализация: Свечи разных таймфреймов окрашены в противоположные цвета (например, синяя на младшем, красная на старшем).
Дельты в оба направления:
Описание: На разных таймфреймах дельта чередуется между положительной и отрицательной без явного доминирования.
Интерпретация: Отражает неопределенность или консолидацию на рынке. Трейдерам стоит дождаться более четких сигналов или использовать другие индикаторы.
Визуализация: Свечи разных таймфреймов имеют смешанные цвета и размеры, создавая «разбросанную» картину.
Пустые свечи (Void):
Описание: Дельта на одном или нескольких таймфреймах близка к нулю, несмотря на движение цены.
Интерпретация: Указывает на ложное движение или отсутствие интереса участников рынка. Это часто связано с манипуляциями, такими как ложные пробои.
Визуализация: Отмечается ромбовидной меткой (void-манипуляция), а свеча имеет минимальный размер и бледный цвет.
Полезность
Детализированный анализ дельты: Пять уровней дельты показывают, как рыночная активность варьируется от микро- до макроуровня.
Обнаружение манипуляций: Маркирует свечи с расхождением цены и дельты, помогая выявить ложные движения.
Сильные свечи: Выделяет импульсные движения с высокой дельтой и объемом.
MTF-анализ: Отображает свечи старшего таймфрейма, упрощая анализ трендов и ключевых уровней.
Универсальность: Настройки чувствительности делают скрипт подходящим для акций, форекса, криптовалют и любых таймфреймов.
Как использовать
Добавление на график:
Откройте TradingView и выберите актив.
Найдите индикатор «Volume Delta Candles 5TF + MTF Candles » в меню «Индикаторы».
Подтвердите доступ (скрипт invite-only).
Интерпретация сигналов:
Дельта-свечи: Окрашены по направлению дельты (синий — положительная, красный — отрицательная). Интенсивность цвета и размер свечи зависят от силы дельты на каждом из пяти таймфреймов.
Манипуляции:
Треугольники: Сильное расхождение цены и дельты.
Кресты: Слабое расхождение.
Ромбы: Пустые свечи (void), указывающие на минимальную дельту.
Сильные свечи: Круги под/над свечами обозначают импульсы с высокой дельтой.
MTF-свеча: Прозрачная свеча старшего таймфрейма показывает тренд и диапазон.
Применение в торговле:
Используйте манипуляции для поиска разворотов или ложных пробоев.
Подтверждайте импульсы сильными свечами и дельтой на старших таймфреймах.
Анализируйте MTF-свечи для определения трендового контекста.

Pineify Signals and OverlaysIndicator Theoretical Basis
Pineify Signals and Overlays is an invite-only trend-following and reversal-detection toolkit that fuses four well-known concepts— Dow-Theory trend phases , a multi-pair EMA cloud, QQE momentum, and ATR-based risk management—into a single, weight-balanced engine. An optional multi-time-frame (MTF) filter aligns lower-time-frame signals with higher-time-frame structure, helping traders avoid counter-trend setups. All components can be toggled from the settings panel, and a beginner “One-Click” preset loads a conservative profile out of the box.
Why it’s a single script: The algorithm scores every bar on three orthogonal axes—trend, momentum, and volatility—then issues context-aware arrows and coloured clouds only when the axes agree within user-defined tolerances. This inter-locking logic cannot be reproduced by simply stacking independent indicators on a chart, hence the need for an integrated implementation.
Trend Confirmation
Trend Confirmation: This indicator presents two types of market trends: the primary trend and the secondary trend. The primary trend is the long - term direction of the market and can last for days or months; the secondary trend is the adjustment phase within the primary trend.
This indicator uses the EMA (Exponential Moving Average) and visualizes the trend phases through color filling. The judgment of the trend is that blue plus green indicates a bullish trend, and yellow plus red indicates a bearish trend.
The primary trend of this indicator is visualized by two sets of moving averages through color filling. These two sets of moving averages are used to describe the short - term and long - term trends in the market.
The short - period moving averages and the long - period moving averages each consist of 4 moving averages, with a total of 8 moving averages, representing the short - term fluctuations and trends of the market.
Trend Persistence: Once the primary trend is formed, it will persist for a period of time. This indicator judges based on the Dow Theory. Short - term market fluctuations do not necessarily reflect changes in the primary trend. Therefore, the judgment direction of the primary trend is visualized through color.
The Signals of Buying, Selling and Closing
In the primary trend, we can see signals of trend reversal. This indicator incorporates the "Consecutive Candles". The indicator mainly identifies the overbought or oversold state of the market through a series of consecutive conditions, so as to predict the reversal point. The core of this indicator is to identify a series of consecutive price movements in the market trend and determine whether the market is about to reverse based on this sequence. We visualize the turning points through buy and sell signals.
The trend confirmation system utilizes four pairs of Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) creating dynamic cloud formations that visualize market direction. Short-period EMAs (5, 8, 20, 34) interact with longer-period EMAs (9, 13, 21, 50) to generate color-coded trend clouds . Blue and green clouds indicate bullish conditions, while yellow and red clouds signal bearish trends, providing immediate visual trend identification.
The presentation of buying and selling points, namely "Quantitative Qualitative Estimation", is a technical indicator that combines the concepts of the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and moving averages. It is used to evaluate market trends, overbought and oversold conditions, as well as potential trend reversal points. The oscillator has a relatively long smoothing period, making the indicator relatively stable, thus enabling the visualization of buy + and sell + signals for trading.
ATR Stop - Loss Line
ATR (Average True Range) is an indicator for measuring market volatility. By using the ATR value to set the stop - loss distance, the stop - loss level can be automatically adjusted according to market volatility, making the stop - loss more flexible.
Core principle
Trend-Cloud Engine
EMA Pairs (5, 8, 20, 34 vs 9, 13, 21, 50)—Two four-EMA sets form “fast” and “slow” envelopes. When the volume-weighted mean of the fast set sits above the slow set and both slopes are positive, the bar is tagged primary bullish; the inverse tags primary bearish. Cloud colours (blue/green vs yellow/red) mirror Dow Theory’s primary/secondary trend hierarchy.
Momentum & Exhaustion Layer
QQE Oscillator (RSI 14, factor 4.238) detects momentum extremes and smooths noise more than a raw RSI, making it better suited for multi-time-frame use.
Consecutive-Candle Counter (default 8) highlights potential exhaustion after extended unidirectional moves; reversal symbols appear only if QQE divergence also exists.
Volatility-Adjusted Risk Line
ATR Trailing Stop (ATR 21, dynamic multiplier) expands in high volatility and tightens in low volatility, offering an adaptive exit reference rather than a fixed-tick stop.
Multi-Time-Frame Confirmation
The script automatically chooses a higher aggregation (e.g., 4 × the chart timeframe) and requires primary-trend agreement before issuing “Long ▲+” or “Short ▼+” confirmations. This guards against false signals during counter-trend rebounds.
Recommended parameters
RSI Length: 14 (QQE calculation base)
QQE Factor: 4.238 (Fibonacci-based multiplier)
ATR Period: 21 (volatility measurement)
EMA Lengths: Configurable short (5,8,20,34) and long (9,13,21,50) periods
Consecutive Candles: Selectable count (8)
Multi-timeframe Filter: Filter is enabled by default, resulting in more accurate signals.
Filters
The multi-timeframe filter enhances signal reliability by confirming trends across higher timeframes. This prevents counter-trend trades by ensuring alignment between current chart timeframe and broader market direction. The filter automatically calculates appropriate higher timeframes for trend confirmation.
Signals & Alerts
The indicator system exports multiple alert signals, and you can easily alert for any signal.
Up Trend : Primary long signal appears
Long - ▲ : Buy signal appears
Long - ▲+ : Confirmation buy signal appears
Long - ● : Primary reversal signal appears
Long - ☓ : Secondary reversal signal appears
Down Trend : Primary short signal appears
Short - ▼ : Sell signal appears
Short - ▼+ : Confirmation sell signal appears
Short - ● : Primary reversal signal appears
Short - ☓ : Secondary reversal signal appears
Originality & Value for Traders
Integrated scoring logic ensures signals fire only when trend, momentum, and volatility metrics corroborate, reducing “indicator conflict”.
Auto-computed MTF pairs mean no manual timeframe juggling.
Weight-balanced QQE/EMA blend creates smoother trend clouds than standard MA crosses, yet remains more responsive than Keltner or Donchian approaches.
One-click beginner profile plus full parameter access supports both novice and advanced users.

Malama's Heikin CountMalama's Heikin Count is a Pine Script indicator designed to enhance price action analysis by combining Heikin Ashi candlestick calculations with a normalized measurement of upper and lower shadow sizes. The indicator overlays Heikin Ashi candles on the chart and displays the relative sizes of upper and lower shadows as numerical labels (scaled from 1 to 10) for candles within the last two days, starting from 9:00 AM each day. This tool aims to help traders identify the strength of price movements and potential reversals by quantifying the significance of candlestick shadows in the context of Heikin Ashi’s smoothed price data. It is particularly useful for day traders and swing traders who rely on candlestick patterns to gauge market sentiment and momentum.
The indicator solves the problem of interpreting raw candlestick data by providing a smoothed visualization through Heikin Ashi candles and a simplified, numerical representation of shadow sizes. This allows traders to quickly assess whether a candle’s upper or lower shadow indicates strong buying or selling pressure, aiding in decision-making for entries, exits, or reversals.
Originality and Usefulness
Originality: While Heikin Ashi candles are a well-known technique for smoothing price data and reducing noise, Malama's Heikin Count introduces a novel feature by calculating and normalizing the sizes of upper and lower shadows relative to the total candle height. Unlike standard Heikin Ashi implementations, which focus solely on candle body trends, this indicator quantifies shadow proportions and presents them on a standardized 1–10 scale. This normalization makes it easier for traders to compare shadow significance across different timeframes and assets without needing to manually interpret raw measurements. The restriction of shadow size labels to the last two days from 9:00 AM ensures relevance for active trading sessions, avoiding clutter from older data.
Usefulness: The indicator is particularly valuable for traders who combine candlestick pattern analysis with trend-following strategies. By integrating Heikin Ashi’s trend-smoothing capabilities with shadow size metrics, it provides a unique perspective on market dynamics. For example, large upper shadows (high normalized values) may indicate rejection at resistance levels, while large lower shadows may suggest support or buying pressure. Unlike other open-source Heikin Ashi indicators, which typically focus only on candle plotting, this script’s shadow size normalization and time-based filtering offer a distinctive tool for intraday and short-term trading strategies.
Detailed Methodology ("How It Works")
The core logic of Malama's Heikin Count revolves around three main components: Heikin Ashi candle calculations, shadow size analysis, and time-based filtering for label display. Below is a breakdown of how these components work together:
Heikin Ashi Candle Calculations:
The script calculates Heikin Ashi candles to smooth price data and reduce market noise, making trends easier to identify.
Formulas:
haClose = (open + high + low + close) / 4: The Heikin Ashi close is the average of the current bar’s open, high, low, and close prices.
haOpen = na(haOpen ) ? (open + close) / 2 : (haOpen + haClose ) / 2: The Heikin Ashi open is either the average of the current bar’s open and close (for the first bar) or the average of the previous Heikin Ashi open and close.
haHigh = max(high, max(haOpen, haClose)): The Heikin Ashi high is the maximum of the current bar’s high, Heikin Ashi open, and Heikin Ashi close.
haLow = min(low, min(haOpen, haClose)): The Heikin Ashi low is the minimum of the current bar’s low, Heikin Ashi open, and Heikin Ashi close.
These calculations produce smoothed candles that emphasize trend direction and reduce the impact of short-term price fluctuations.
Shadow Size Analysis:
The script calculates the upper and lower shadows of each Heikin Ashi candle to assess market sentiment.
Formulas:
upperShadow = haHigh - max(haClose, haOpen): Measures the length of the upper shadow (distance from the top of the candle body to the high).
lowerShadow = min(haClose, haOpen) - haLow: Measures the length of the lower shadow (distance from the bottom of the candle body to the low).
totalHeight = haHigh - haLow: Calculates the total height of the candle (from high to low).
upperShadowPercentage = (upperShadow / totalHeight) * 100: Converts the upper shadow length to a percentage of the total candle height.
lowerShadowPercentage = (lowerShadow / totalHeight) * 100: Converts the lower shadow length to a percentage of the total candle height.
Normalization: The normalizeShadowSize function scales the shadow percentages to a 1–10 range using math.round(value / 10). This ensures that shadow sizes are presented in an easily interpretable format, where 1 represents a very small shadow (less than 10% of the candle height) and 10 represents a very large shadow (90–100% of the candle height). The normalization caps values between 1 and 10 for consistency.
Time-Based Filtering:
The script only displays shadow size labels for candles within the last two days, starting from 9:00 AM each day. This is achieved by calculating a start timestamp using timestamp(year(timenow), month(timenow), dayofmonth(timenow) - daysBack, startHour, startMinute), where daysBack = 2, startHour = 9, and startMinute = 0.
The condition time >= startTime ensures that labels are only plotted for candles within this time window, keeping the chart relevant for recent trading activity and avoiding clutter from older data.
Signal Generation:
The script does not generate explicit buy or sell signals but provides visual cues through shadow size labels. Large upper shadow sizes (e.g., 8–10) may indicate selling pressure or resistance, while large lower shadow sizes may suggest buying pressure or support. Traders can use these metrics in conjunction with the Heikin Ashi candle colors (green for bullish, red for bearish) to make trading decisions.
Strategy Results and Risk Management
Backtesting: The script is an indicator and does not include built-in backtesting or strategy logic for generating buy/sell signals. As such, it does not assume specific commission, slippage, or account sizing parameters. Traders using this indicator should incorporate it into their existing strategies, applying their own risk management rules.
Risk Management Guidance:
Traders can use the shadow size labels to inform risk management decisions. For example, a large upper shadow (e.g., 8–10) at a resistance level may prompt a trader to set a tighter stop-loss above the candle’s high, anticipating a potential reversal. Conversely, a large lower shadow at a support level may suggest a wider stop-loss below the low to account for volatility.
Default settings (e.g., 2-day lookback, 9:00 AM start) are designed to focus on recent price action, which is suitable for intraday and short-term swing trading. Traders should combine the indicator with other tools (e.g., support/resistance levels, trendlines) to define risk limits, such as risking 5–10% of equity per trade.
The indicator does not enforce specific risk management settings, allowing traders to customize their approach based on their risk tolerance and trading style.
User Settings and Customization
The script includes the following user-customizable inputs:
Days Back (daysBack = 2):
Description: Controls the lookback period for displaying shadow size labels. The default value of 2 means labels are shown for candles within the last two days.
Impact: Increasing daysBack extends the time window for label display, which may be useful for longer-term analysis but could clutter the chart. Decreasing it focuses on more recent data, ideal for intraday trading.
Start Hour (startHour = 9) and Start Minute (startMinute = 0):
Description: Defines the start time of the trading day (default is 9:00 AM). Labels are only shown for candles after this time each day within the lookback period.
Impact: Traders can adjust these settings to align with their preferred trading session (e.g., 9:30 AM for U.S. market open). Changing the start time shifts the time window for label display, affecting which candles are analyzed.
These settings allow traders to tailor the indicator to their trading timeframe and session preferences, ensuring that the shadow size labels remain relevant to their analysis.
Visualizations and Chart Setup
The indicator plots the following elements on the chart:
Heikin Ashi Candles:
Plotted using plotcandle(haOpen, haClose, haHigh, haLow), these candles overlay the standard price chart.
Color Coding: Green candles indicate bullish momentum (Heikin Ashi close ≥ open), while red candles indicate bearish momentum (Heikin Ashi close < open).
These candles provide a smoothed view of price trends, making it easier to identify trend direction and continuations.
Shadow Size Labels:
Upper Shadow Labels: Displayed above each candle at the Heikin Ashi high, showing the normalized upper shadow size (1–10). These labels are green with white text and use the label.style_label_down style for clear visibility.
Lower Shadow Labels: Displayed below each candle at the Heikin Ashi low, showing the normalized lower shadow size (1–10). These labels are red with white text and use the label.style_label_up style.
Labels are only shown for candles within the last two days from 9:00 AM, ensuring that only recent and relevant data is visualized.
Debugging Labels (Optional):
A blue label at the bottom of the chart displays the text "Upper: Lower: " for each candle, showing both shadow sizes for debugging purposes. This can be removed or commented out if not needed, as it is primarily for development use.
The visualizations are designed to be minimal and focused, ensuring that traders can quickly interpret the Heikin Ashi trend and shadow size metrics without unnecessary clutter. The use of color-coded candles and labels enhances readability, while the time-based filtering keeps the chart clean and relevant.
Information Asymmetry Gradient (IAG) What is the Information Asymmetry Gradient (IAG)?
The Information Asymmetry Gradient (IAG) is a unique market regime and imbalance detector that quantifies the subtle, directional “information flow” in price and volume. Inspired by information theory and market microstructure, IAG is designed to help traders spot the early buildup of conviction or surprise—the kind of hidden imbalance that often precedes major price moves.
Unlike traditional volume or momentum indicators, IAG focuses on the efficiency and directionality of information transfer: how much “informational energy” is being revealed by up-moves versus down-moves, normalized by price movement. It’s not just about net flow, but about the quality and asymmetry of that flow.
Theoretical Foundation
Information Asymmetry: Markets move when new information is revealed. If one side (buyers or sellers) is consistently more “informationally efficient” per unit of price change, an imbalance is building—even if price hasn’t moved much yet.
Gradient: By tracking the rate of change (gradient) between fast and slow information flows, IAG highlights when a subtle imbalance is accelerating.
Volatility of Asymmetry: Sudden spikes in the volatility of information asymmetry often signal regime uncertainty or the approach of a “surprise” move.
How IAG Works
Directional Information Content: For each bar, IAG estimates the “information per unit of price change” for both up-moves and down-moves, using volume and price action.
Asymmetry Calculation: Computes the difference (or ratio) between up and down information content, revealing directional bias.
Gradient Detection: Calculates both a fast and slow EMA of the asymmetry, then measures their difference (the “gradient”), normalized as a Z-score.
Volatility of Asymmetry: Tracks the standard deviation of asymmetry over a rolling window, with Z-score normalization to spot “information shocks.”
Flow Strength: Quantifies the conviction of the current information flow on a 0–100 scale.
Regime Detection: Flags “extreme” asymmetry, “building” flow, and “high volatility” states.

PhenLabs - Market Fluid Dynamics📊 Market Fluid Dynamics -
Version: PineScript™ v6
📌 Description
The Market Fluid Dynamics - Phen indicator is a new thinking regarding market analysis by modeling price action, volume, and volatility using a fluid system. It attempts to offer traders control over more profound market forces, such as momentum (speed), resistance (thickness), and buying/selling pressure. By visualizing such dynamics, the script allows the traders to decide on the prevailing market flow, its power, likely continuations, and zones of calmness and chaos, and thereby allows improved decision-making.
This measure avoids the usual difficulty of reconciling multiple, often contradictory, market indications by including them within a single overarching model. It moves beyond traditional binary indicators by providing a multi-dimensional view of market behavior, employing fluid dynamic analogs to describe complex interactions in an accessible manner.
🚀 Points of Innovation
Integrated Fluid Dynamics Model: Combines velocity, viscosity, pressure, and turbulence into a single indicator.
Normalized Metrics: Uses ATR and other normalization techniques for consistent readings across different assets and timeframes.
Dynamic Flow Visualization: Main flow line changes color and intensity based on direction and strength.
Turbulence Background: Visually represents market stability with a gradient background, from calm to turbulent.
Comprehensive Dashboard: Provides an at-a-glance summary of key fluid dynamic metrics.
Multi-Layer Smoothing: Employs several layers of EMA smoothing for a clearer, more responsive main flow line.
🔧 Core Components
Velocity Component: Measures price momentum (first derivative of price), normalized by ATR. It indicates the speed and direction of price changes.
Viscosity Component: Represents market resistance to price changes, derived from ATR relative to its historical average. Higher viscosity suggests it’s harder for prices to move.
Pressure Component: Quantifies the force created by volume and price range (close - open), normalized by ATR. It reflects buying or selling pressure.
Turbulence Detection: Calculates a Reynolds number equivalent to identify market stability, ranging from laminar (stable) to turbulent (chaotic).
Main Flow Indicator: Combines the above components, applying sensitivity and smoothing, to generate a primary signal of market direction and strength.
🔥 Key Features
Advanced Smoothing Algorithm: Utilizes multiple EMA layers on the raw flow calculation for a fluid and responsive main flow line, reducing noise while maintaining sensitivity.
Gradient Flow Coloring: The main flow line dynamically changes color from light to deep blue for bullish flow and light to deep red for bearish flow, with intensity reflecting flow strength. This provides an immediate visual cue of market sentiment and momentum.
Turbulence Level Background: The chart background changes color based on calculated turbulence (from calm gray to vibrant orange), offering an intuitive understanding of market stability and potential for erratic price action.
Informative Dashboard: A customizable on-screen table displays critical metrics like Flow State, Flow Strength, Market Viscosity, Turbulence, Pressure Force, Flow Acceleration, and Flow Continuity, allowing traders to quickly assess current market conditions.
Configurable Lookback and Sensitivity: Users can adjust the base lookback period for calculations and the sensitivity of the flow to viscosity, tailoring the indicator to different trading styles and market conditions.
Alert Conditions: Pre-defined alerts for flow direction changes (positive/negative crossover of zero line) and detection of high turbulence states.
🎨 Visualization
Main Flow Line: A smoothed line plotted below the main chart, colored blue for bullish flow and red for bearish flow. The intensity of the color (light to dark) indicates the strength of the flow. This line crossing the zero line can signal a change in market direction.
Zero Line: A dotted horizontal line at the zero level, serving as a baseline to gauge whether the market flow is positive (bullish) or negative (bearish).
Turbulence Background: The indicator pane’s background color changes based on the calculated turbulence level. A calm, almost transparent gray indicates low turbulence (laminar flow), while a more vibrant, semi-transparent orange signifies high turbulence. This helps traders visually assess market stability.
Dashboard Table: An optional table displayed on the chart, showing key metrics like ‘Flow State’, ‘Flow Strength’, ‘Market Viscosity’, ‘Turbulence’, ‘Pressure Force’, ‘Flow Acceleration’, and ‘Flow Continuity’ with their current values and qualitative descriptions (e.g., ‘Bullish Flow’, ‘Laminar (Stable)’).
📖 Usage Guidelines

✅ Best Use Cases
Trend Identification: Identifying the dominant market flow (bullish or bearish) and its strength to trade in the direction of the prevailing trend.
Momentum Confirmation: Using the flow strength and acceleration to confirm the conviction behind price movements.
Volatility Assessment: Utilizing the turbulence metric to gauge market stability, helping to adjust position sizing or avoid choppy conditions.
Reversal Spotting: Watching for divergences between price and flow, or crossovers of the main flow line above/below the zero line, as potential reversal signals, especially when combined with changes in pressure or viscosity.
Swing Trading: Leveraging the smoothed flow line to capture medium-term market swings, entering when flow aligns with the desired trade direction and exiting when flow weakens or reverses.
Intraday Scalping: Using shorter lookback periods and higher sensitivity to identify quick shifts in flow and turbulence for short-term trading opportunities, particularly in liquid markets.
⚠️ Limitations
Lagging Nature: Like many indicators based on moving averages and lookback periods, the main flow line can lag behind rapid price changes, potentially leading to delayed signals.
Whipsaws in Ranging Markets: During periods of low volatility or sideways price action (high viscosity, low flow strength), the indicator might produce frequent buy/sell signals (whipsaws) as the flow oscillates around the zero line.
Not a Standalone System: While comprehensive, it should be used in conjunction with other forms of analysis (e.g., price action, support/resistance levels, other indicators) and not as a sole basis for trading decisions.
Subjectivity in Interpretation: While the dashboard provides quantitative values, the interpretation of “strong” flow, “high” turbulence, or “significant” acceleration can still have a subjective element depending on the trader’s strategy and risk tolerance.
💡 What Makes This Unique
Fluid Dynamics Analogy: Its core strength lies in translating complex market interactions into an intuitive fluid dynamics framework, making concepts like momentum, resistance, and pressure easier to visualize and understand.
Market View: Instead of focusing on a single aspect (like just momentum or just volatility), it integrates multiple factors (velocity, viscosity, pressure, turbulence) to provide a more comprehensive picture of market conditions.
Adaptive Visualization: The dynamic coloring of the flow line and the turbulence background provide immediate, adaptive visual feedback that changes with market conditions.
🔬 How It Works
Price Velocity Calculation: The indicator first calculates price velocity by measuring the rate of change of the closing price over a given ‘lookback’ period. The raw velocity is then normalized by the Average True Range (ATR) of the same lookback period. Normalization enables comparison of momentum between assets or timeframes by scaling for volatility. This is the direction and speed of initial price movement.
Viscosity Calculation: Market ‘viscosity’ or resistance to price movement is determined by looking at the current ATR relative to its longer-term average (SMA of ATR over lookback * 2). The further the current ATR is above its average, the lower the viscosity (less resistance to price movement), and vice-versa. The script inverts this relationship and bounds it so that rising viscosity means more resistance.
Pressure Force Measurement: A ‘pressure’ variable is calculated as a function of the ratio of current volume to its simple moving average, multiplied by the price range (close - open) and normalized by ATR. This is designed to measure the force behind price movement created by volume and intraday price thrusts. This pressure is smoothed by an EMA.
Turbulence State Evaluation: A equivalent ‘Reynolds number’ is calculated by dividing the absolute normalized velocity by the viscosity. This is the proclivity of the market to move in a chaotic or orderly fashion. This ‘reynoldsValue’ is smoothed with an EMA to get the ‘turbulenceState’, which indicates if the market is laminar (stable), transitional, or turbulent.
Main Flow Derivation: The ‘rawFlow’ is calculated by taking the normalized velocity, dampening its impact based on the ‘viscosity’ and user-input ‘sensitivity’, and orienting it by the sign of the smoothed ‘pressureSmooth’. The ‘rawFlow’ is then put through multiple layers of exponential moving average (EMA) smoothing (with ‘smoothingLength’ and derived values) to reach the final ‘mainFlow’ line. The extensive smoothing is designed to give a smooth and clear visualization of the overall market direction and magnitude.
Dashboard Metrics Compilation: Additional metrics like flow acceleration (derivative of mainFlow), and flow continuity (correlation between close and volume) are calculated. All primary components (Flow State, Strength, Viscosity, Turbulence, Pressure, Acceleration, Continuity) are then presented in a user-configurable dashboard for ease of monitoring.
💡 Note:
The “Market Fluid Dynamics - Phen” indicator is designed to offer a unique perspective on market behavior by applying principles from fluid dynamics. It’s most effective when used to understand the underlying forces driving price rather than as a direct buy/sell signal generator in isolation. Experiment with the settings, particularly the ‘Base Lookback Period’, ‘Flow Sensitivity’, and ‘Flow Smoothing’, to find what best suits your trading style and the specific asset you are analyzing. Always combine its insights with robust risk management practices.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. ORIGINAL VOLUME ZONE OSCILLATOR (VZO) BACKGROUND
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Creator: Walid Khalil (November 2009, Technical Analysis of Stocks & Commodities)
History: Khalil designed the VZO to address limitations in other volume indicators
by focusing on the relative balance between buying and selling volume while filtering
out market noise. The indicator identifies accumulation and distribution patterns.
Traditional Usage: The classic VZO uses a 14-period calculation setting and is
interpreted on a scale from -60% to +60%:
- Readings above +40% indicate strong buying pressure (potential overbought)
- Readings below -40% indicate strong selling pressure (potential oversold)
- The zero line acts as a key reference for trend changes
- Divergences between VZO and price offer valuable trading signals
Difference from Other Volume Indicators: Unlike simple volume indicators that only
track total volume, the VZO tracks the relative difference between up-volume and
down-volume, more effectively identifying buying/selling pressure imbalances and
potential reversal points.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. SUPERSMOOTHER FILTER TECHNOLOGY
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Creator: John F. Ehlers, an engineer specializing in digital signal processing for
trading systems.
Origins: Introduced in "Rocket Science for Traders" (2001) and refined in "Cybernetic
Analysis for Stocks and Futures" (2004). Represents the application of digital signal
processing techniques to financial markets.
Technical Foundation: The SuperSmoother is a two-pole low-pass filter specifically
designed to eliminate noise while preserving the underlying signal. It combines
principles of Butterworth and Gaussian filters to minimize both phase shift and
passband ripple.
Mathematical Implementation:
a1 = exp(-π * sqrt(2) / period)
b1 = 2 * a1 * cos(sqrt(2) * π / period)
c2 = b1
c3 = -a1²
c1 = 1 - c2 - c3
Advantages Over Traditional Filters:
- Reduces lag compared to simple moving averages
- Eliminates high-frequency market noise more effectively
- Minimizes unwanted ripples in the output signal
- Preserves important turning points in the data
- Superior handling of sudden market movements
According to Ehlers: "Conventional moving averages are plagued by excessive lag and/or
rippling in their passband. The SuperSmoother eliminates virtually all of this ripple
and has excellent transient response characteristics." (TASC Magazine, 2014)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. SSVZO COMPONENTS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.1. MAIN SSVZO OSCILLATOR
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Description: The core component measuring buying vs. selling volume pressure using
the SuperSmoother filter for enhanced noise reduction.
Calculation: SSVZO analyzes the relationship between up-volume (volume on rising
prices) and down-volume (volume on falling prices), applying exponential moving
averages to both components, then calculating their relative strength. The
SuperSmoother filter reduces market noise while preserving the underlying trend signal.
Implementation Advantage: By applying the SuperSmoother filter to the VZO calculation,
the SSVZO provides significantly cleaner signals with fewer false crossovers and more
accurate identification of true trend changes.
Interpretation:
- Values above zero indicate bullish volume dominance
- Values below zero indicate bearish volume dominance
- Readings above +60 suggest overbought conditions
- Readings below -60 suggest oversold conditions
- Crossovers of the zero line signal potential trend changes
Trading Application: Use SSVZO as a primary volume-based momentum indicator to
confirm price trends, identify divergences, and spot potential reversal zones.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.2. MOMENTUM VELOCITY COMPONENT
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Description: A histogram displaying the rate of change of momentum, showing how
quickly buying or selling pressure is accelerating or decelerating.
Calculation: Derived from price momentum over a user-defined period, with optional
adaptive filtering that adjusts sensitivity based on market volatility. The velocity
component shows the first derivative of momentum – essentially the "acceleration" of
market movement.
Technical Origin: Inspired by Ehlers' work on Hilbert Transforms and research on
cyclic components in financial markets, as detailed in "Cycle Analytics for Traders"
(2013).
Interpretation:
- Positive readings (teal bars) indicate accelerating upward momentum
- Negative readings (orange bars) suggest accelerating downward momentum
- Larger bars indicate stronger momentum acceleration
- Shrinking bars signal momentum deceleration
Trading Application: Use as an early warning system for potential trend exhaustion
or confirmation of a new trending move. When momentum velocity diverges from price,
it often precedes a reversal.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.3. ADAPTIVE LEVELS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Description: Dynamic overbought and oversold boundaries that adjust to market
conditions, providing context-aware trading signals.
Calculation: Uses statistical methods based on the standard deviation of the SSVZO
values over a longer period. These levels automatically widen during higher volatility
periods and narrow during consolidation.
Research Base: Draws from Perry Kaufman's work on Adaptive Moving Averages (AMA) and
Bollinger's research on dynamic volatility bands, as published in "Trading Systems
and Methods" (2013).
Interpretation:
- Adaptive Overbought (dotted circles above): Dynamic ceiling that expands/contracts
based on market volatility
- Adaptive Oversold (dotted circles below): Dynamic floor that expands/contracts based
on market volatility
Trading Application: More reliable for identifying extremes than static levels,
particularly in changing market conditions or different instruments. Touching these
levels often provides higher-probability reversal signals.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.4. STATIC LEVELS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Description: Fixed overbought and oversold horizontal lines that provide consistent
reference points for excess market conditions.
Calculation: Preset at +60 (overbought) and -60 (oversold) based on historical
analysis of volume behavior across multiple markets, extending the classic VZO range.
Interpretation:
- Readings above +60 suggest potential buying exhaustion
- Readings below -60 indicate potential selling exhaustion
- Duration spent beyond these levels correlates with reversal probability
Trading Application: Use as baseline reference points for extreme conditions. Most
effective when combined with other confirmation signals like divergences or
candlestick patterns.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.5. TREND SHIFT DETECTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Description: Visual markers and optional background shading highlighting potential
trend changes when the SSVZO crosses the zero line.
Calculation: Based on mathematical crossovers of the SSVZO value above or below the
zero line, with pattern recognition to reduce false signals.
Research Foundation: Incorporates concepts from Dr. Alexander Elder's "triple screen
trading system" and Mark Chaikin's volume-based trend identification research.
Interpretation:
- Upward triangles indicate bullish trend shifts (SSVZO crossing above zero)
- Downward triangles indicate bearish trend shifts (SSVZO crossing below zero)
- Background shading emphasizes the new trend direction
Trading Application: These signals often precede price trend changes and can serve
as entry triggers when aligned with the higher timeframe trend.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.6. GLOW EFFECT VISUALIZATION
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Description: An aesthetic enhancement creating a gradient "glow" around the main SSVZO
line, improving visual clarity and emphasizing signal strength.
Calculation: Generated using percentage-based bands around the main SSVZO value, with
multiple translucent layers to create a subtle illumination effect.
Design Inspiration: Inspired by modern UI/UX design principles for financial
dashboards and the MATS (Moving Average Trend Sniper) indicator's visual presentation,
enhancing perception of signal strength through visual intensity.
Interpretation:
- Teal glow indicates positive SSVZO values (bullish)
- Orange glow indicates negative SSVZO values (bearish)
- Glow intensity correlates with the strength of the signal
Trading Application: Beyond aesthetics, the glow creates visual emphasis that makes
trend direction, strength, and changes more immediately apparent, particularly useful
during fast-moving market conditions.

Trailing Cumulative Volume DeltaShort Description:
A dynamic volume delta indicator that calculates a trailing sum of net buying/selling pressure over a user-defined number of recent bars, offering a more adaptive view of order flow momentum compared to fixed-anchor CVD.
Overview:
The Trailing Cumulative Volume Delta (TCVD) indicator provides a powerful way to analyze market sentiment by tracking the net difference between buying and selling volume. Unlike traditional Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) indicators that typically reset at fixed intervals (e.g., daily, weekly), the TCVD calculates a rolling sum of volume delta over a specified number of recent bars. This "trailing" approach offers a more fluid and responsive measure of recent order flow dynamics.
How it Works:
Per-Bar Delta Calculation: For each bar on your chart, the indicator first calculates the net Volume Delta. This is done by looking at a finer, user-configurable Lower Timeframe (e.g., 1-minute data for a 15-minute chart bar) to determine the aggressive buying vs. selling volume within that bar.
Trailing Sum: The indicator then sums these individual per-bar net deltas over a user-defined Trailing Bars lookback period. For example, if "Trailing Bars" is set to 20, the TCVD value will represent the cumulative net delta of the last 20 bars.
Visualization:
The TCVD is plotted in a "MACD-Columns-Style" in a separate pane.
Teal: When the TCVD value is increasing (suggesting growing net buying pressure or diminishing net selling pressure over the trailing period).
Red: When the TCVD value is decreasing (suggesting growing net selling pressure or diminishing net buying pressure over the trailing period).
White: When it is returning to the mean.
How to Interpret and Use TCVD:
Trend Strength & Momentum:
A rising TCVD suggests that, on average over the trailing period, buying pressure is dominant or strengthening. This can confirm bullish price action or indicate underlying strength.
A falling TCVD suggests that selling pressure is dominant or strengthening, potentially confirming bearish price action or indicating weakness.
Divergences:
Unlike other Divergences, the CVD has two different types of Divergences: a) Absorption and b) Exhaustion. You only want to trade the Absorption pattern.
Zero Line Crossovers:
TCVD crossing above the zero line can indicate a shift towards net positive buying pressure over the lookback period.
TCVD crossing below the zero line can indicate a shift towards net positive selling pressure.
Confirmation: Use TCVD to confirm breakouts or breakdowns. A price breakout accompanied by a strongly rising TCVD is generally more reliable.
Key Settings:
Trailing Bars: (Default: 10)
Determines the number of recent bars to include in the cumulative delta sum.
Shorter periods make the TCVD more responsive to immediate changes.
Longer periods provide a smoother, longer-term view of order flow.
Use custom timeframe: (Checkbox, Default: false)
Allows you to override the automatic selection of the lower timeframe for delta calculation.
Timeframe for Delta Calculation: (Default: "1" - 1 minute)
Specifies the lower timeframe data used to calculate the volume delta for each individual chart bar.
Choosing a very fine timeframe (e.g., seconds) can provide high precision but may be limited by data availability or processing load.
If "Use custom timeframe" is unchecked, the script attempts to choose a sensible default based on your chart's timeframe (e.g., "1S" for second charts, "1" for intraday, "5" for daily, "60" for weekly+).
Examples:
Confirming Breakout Strength:
Price breaks out above a significant resistance level.
If the TCVD is also sharply rising and has perhaps crossed above its zero line, it provides confirmation that strong buying interest is fueling the breakout, increasing confidence in its validity.
Important Notes:
This indicator requires reliable volume data from your broker/data feed to function correctly. If your chart does not have volume, or if the volume data is unreliable, the TCVD will not be accurate.
Like all indicators, TCVD is best used as part of a comprehensive trading strategy, in conjunction with price action analysis and other indicators or tools.
Experiment with the Trailing Bars and Timeframe for Delta Calculation settings to find what best suits your trading style, the asset you are analyzing, and the chart timeframe you are using.

Delta AO + Regular AO (Normalized)🔀 Delta AO + Regular AO (Normalized) – Visualizing Market moods becomes simpler 🔀
🧠 Introduction
The Delta AO + Regular AO (Normalized) is a custom oscillator that fuses the power of classic momentum analysis with volume-derived delta flow to give traders a dual-perspective edge.
This tool was born from a need to better visualize internal market thrust (via delta) while still respecting the time-tested signal power of the traditional Awesome Oscillator (AO).
🔍 What makes it unique?
✅ Volume-based Delta Calculation – Models upward/downward delta using a custom volatility-weighted volume allocation method, not simple tick-delta or raw buys/sells.
✅ Cumulative Delta Candles – Instead of just plotting bars, the indicator rebuilds the market structure using cumulative delta logic.
✅ Dual AO Display – Shows both custom delta AO and traditional price AO simultaneously.
✅ Normalized Scaling – Each AO is independently normalized by its standard deviation (volatility-adjusted), making both indicators visually comparable without distortion.
🧮 Under the Hood
Let’s break down the components:
1. Delta Logic 📊
Rather than using raw delta or tick-level data, this script simulates net effort:
Delta Up = Volume × a smart weighting when the candle is bullish
Delta Down = Volume × weighting when the candle is bearish
The weighting dynamically adjusts based on candle body-to-wick ratio. This provides a more refined delta estimate based on candle structure.
This delta is accumulated (cumulative delta) and used to form a synthetic OHLC candle structure.
2. AO Calculations ⚖️
Custom AO: Calculated from the median of synthetic delta candles
Regular AO: Classic (median price 5-period SMA - 34-period SMA)
Both are normalized using their own 34-bar standard deviation, improving comparability and visualization in one pane.
3. Color Coding 🎨
For the delta AO histogram:
Lime: Bullish + Increasing Momentum
Green: Bullish + Weakening Momentum
Red: Bearish + Increasing Momentum (to the downside)
Maroon: Bearish + Weakening Momentum
This lets you immediately spot momentum shifts and strength behind volume-based moves.
📈 How to Use – Trading Guide
🔧 Recommended Setup:
Timeframe: Works well on all intraday and higher timeframes (5m–1D)
Symbol: Especially effective on liquid instruments (futures, indices, large caps)
✅ Entry Signals
🔹 Buy Setup
Delta AO turns green or lime above zero, and Regular AO is also rising
Ideal confirmation: Lime bar (strong bullish delta momentum) and a crossover above zero
🔹 Sell Setup
Delta AO turns maroon or red below zero, and Regular AO is also falling
Ideal confirmation: Red bar (strong bearish delta momentum) and AO falling further below zero
🔄 Momentum Confirmation
Look for divergence between the Delta AO and Regular AO.
🔼 If Delta AO is rising but Regular AO is flat or falling → Volume is leading price (possible breakout ahead)
🔽 If Regular AO is strong but Delta AO fades → Price may be unsustainable (fakeout risk)
🛑 Exit / Reversal Clues
Sudden color shifts (e.g., Lime → Green → Maroon) can signal momentum exhaustion
Both AOs converging to zero suggests consolidation phase ahead
📌 Pro Tips
Use this with volume profile, support/resistance, or market structure zones for maximum confluence
Works great as a secondary confirmation tool for your existing strategy
💬 Final Thoughts
This oscillator is not just a pretty double AO — it's a strategic fusion of price and volume time-series designed to help you anticipate shifts before they’re obvious in price alone.
If you're looking for:
A modernized AO
Volume-integrated signal clarity
Normalized, noise-filtered momentum visual
Then this tool belongs in your chart arsenal.
📈 Try it. Test it. Pair it. If you find value, consider sharing or following for more next-gen indicators.
Please note this is an educational idea and past performance is not assurance of future performance.
Happy trading!

PowerHouse SwiftEdge AI v2.10 with Custom Filters & AI AnalysisPowerHouse SwiftEdge AI v2.10 with Custom Filters & AI Analysis
Overview
PowerHouse SwiftEdge AI v2.10 is an advanced TradingView Pine Script indicator designed to identify high-probability trading setups by combining pivot-based structure analysis, multi-timeframe trend detection, and adaptive AI-driven signal filtering. The script integrates Change of Character (CHoCH) and Break of Structure (BOS) signals with customizable momentum, volume, breakout, and trend filters to enhance trade precision. Additionally, it offers an optional AI Market Analysis module that predicts future price trends across multiple timeframes, providing traders with a comprehensive market outlook.
The script is highly customizable, allowing users to tailor inputs to their trading style, whether for scalping, swing trading, or long-term strategies. It is suitable for all asset classes, including stocks, forex, crypto, and commodities, and performs optimally on timeframes ranging from 1-minute to daily charts.
Key Features
Pivot-Based Signal Generation:
Identifies pivot highs and lows to detect CHoCH (reversal patterns) and BOS (continuation patterns).
Signals are plotted as "Buy" or "Sell" labels with optional "Get Ready" pre-signals to prepare traders for potential setups.
Take-profit (TP) levels are automatically calculated based on user-defined points, with optional TP box visualization.
Multi-Timeframe Trend Analysis:
Analyzes trends across seven timeframes (1M, 5M, 15M, 30M, 1H, 4H, D) using EMA and VWAP to determine bullish, bearish, or neutral conditions.
Displays a futuristic AI-Trend Matrix dashboard showing trend direction, strength, and confidence levels for quick decision-making.
Customizable Signal Filters:
Momentum Filter: Ensures signals align with significant price changes, adjusted dynamically using ATR-based volatility.
Higher Timeframe Trend Filter: Requires signals to align with the trend of a user-selected higher timeframe (e.g., 1H).
Lower Timeframe Trend Filter: Prevents signals that conflict with the trend of a user-selected lower timeframe (e.g., 5M).
Volume Filter: Optionally requires above-average volume to confirm signals.
Breakout Filter: Optionally requires price to break previous highs/lows for signal validation.
Repeated Signal Restriction: Prevents consecutive signals in the same trend direction until the trend changes on a user-defined timeframe.
AI-Driven Adaptivity:
Incorporates Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) to assess buying/selling pressure and classify market volatility (Low, Medium, High).
Uses ATR to dynamically adjust momentum thresholds, ensuring signals adapt to current market conditions.
Optional AI Market Analysis module predicts trends across multiple timeframes by combining trend, momentum, and volatility scores.
Visual Elements:
Plots CHoCH and BOS levels as horizontal lines with distinct colors (aqua for CHoCH sell, lime for CHoCH buy, fuchsia for BOS sell, teal for BOS buy).
Draws dynamic support and resistance trendlines based on short and long-term price action, colored by trend strength.
Displays TP levels and pivot highs/lows for easy reference.
How It Works
The script combines several technical analysis concepts to create a robust trading system:
Market Structure Analysis:
Pivot highs and lows are identified using a user-defined lookback period (Pivot Length).
CHoCH occurs when price crosses below a pivot high (bearish reversal) or above a pivot low (bullish reversal).
BOS occurs when price breaks a previous pivot low (bearish continuation) or pivot high (bullish continuation).
Trend and Momentum Integration:
Trends are determined by comparing price to EMA and VWAP on multiple timeframes.
Momentum is calculated as the percentage price change, with thresholds adjusted by ATR to account for volatility.
"Get Ready" signals appear when momentum approaches the threshold, preparing traders for potential CHoCH or BOS signals.
Signal Filtering:
Filters ensure signals align with user-defined criteria (e.g., trend direction, volume, breakouts).
The Restrict Repeated Signals option prevents over-signaling by requiring a trend change on a specified timeframe before generating a new signal in the same direction.
AI Market Analysis:
The optional AI module calculates a score for each timeframe based on trend direction, momentum, and volatility (ATR compared to its SMA).
Scores are translated into predictions (▲ for bullish, ▼ for bearish, — for neutral), displayed in a dedicated table.
CVD and Volatility Context:
CVD tracks buying vs. selling pressure by accumulating volume based on price direction.
Volatility is classified using CVD magnitude, influencing the script’s visual cues and signal sensitivity.
Why This Combination?
The integration of pivot-based structure analysis, multi-timeframe trend filtering, and AI-driven adaptivity addresses common trading challenges:
Precision: CHoCH and BOS signals focus on key market turning points, reducing noise from minor price fluctuations.
Context: Multi-timeframe analysis ensures trades align with broader market trends, improving win rates.
Adaptivity: ATR and CVD adjustments make the script responsive to changing market conditions, avoiding static thresholds that fail in volatile or quiet markets.
Customization: Extensive input options allow traders to adapt the script to their preferred markets, timeframes, and risk profiles.
Predictive Insight: The AI Market Analysis module provides forward-looking trend predictions, helping traders anticipate market moves.
This combination creates a self-contained system that balances responsiveness with reliability, making it suitable for both novice and experienced traders.

Swing High/Low Scalper(Mastersinnifty)Overview
The Swing High/Low Scalper is designed for traders seeking structured entries and disciplined stop-loss planning during momentum shifts. It combines smoothed Force Index readings with swing high/low analysis to identify moments where both momentum and structural price levels align.
When a new directional bias is confirmed, the indicator plots clear entry signals and dynamically calculates the nearest logical stop-loss level based on recent swing points.
---
Core Logic
- Force Index Bias Detection
- The Force Index (price × volume change) is smoothed with an EMA to determine sustained bullish or bearish momentum.
- Signal Memory and Noise Reduction
- The indicator remembers the last signal (buy/sell) and only triggers a new signal when the bias changes, helping avoid redundant entries in sideways or noisy conditions.
- Swing-based Stop-Loss Calculation
- Upon signal confirmation, the script automatically plots a stop-loss label near the most recent swing low (for buys) or swing high (for sells).
- If conditions are extreme, fallback safety checks are used to validate the stop-loss placement.
---
Key Features
- Dynamic, structure-based stop-loss plots at every trade signal.
- Visual background bias:
- Green tint = Bullish bias
- Red tint = Bearish bias
- Minimalist and clean chart visualization for easy interpretation.
- Designed for scalability across timeframes (from 1-minutes to daily charts).
---
Why It’s Unique
- Unlike simple momentum oscillators or swing indicators, this tool integrates a state-tracking mechanism.
- A signal is only generated when a true shift in directional force occurs and swing structure supports the move, seeking to catch only meaningful changes rather than every minor fluctuation.
- This dual-filter approach emphasizes quality over quantity, aiming for disciplined entries with risk levels derived from actual price behavior, not arbitrary formulas.

Wyckoff Accumulation Distribution Wyckoff Accumulation & Distribution Indicator (RSI-Based)
This Pine Script is a technical analysis indicator built around the Wyckoff Method, designed to detect accumulation and distribution phases using RSI (Relative Strength Index) and pivot points. It automatically marks key structural turning points on the chart and highlights relevant zones with colored boxes.
What Does It Do?
Draws accumulation and distribution boxes based on RSI behavior.
Automatically detects Wyckoff structural signals:
SC (Selling Climax)
AR (Automatic Rally)
ST (Secondary Test)
BC (Buying Climax)
DAR (Automatic Reaction)
DST (Secondary Test - Distribution)
Identifies trend transitions by detecting sideways RSI movement.
Attempts to detect spring and UTAD-like deviations based on RSI reversals.
Uses RSI extremes in conjunction with pivot points to generate Wyckoff signals.
How Does It Work?
RSI Zone: It identifies sideways markets when RSI stays within ±20 of the 50 level (this range is configurable).
Pivot Points: It detects pivot highs/lows that sync with RSI values (pivotLen is adjustable).
Trend Box Drawing:
When RSI exits the sideways zone, the script draws a gray box between the highest high and lowest low within that range.
If RSI breaks upward, the box becomes green (Accumulation); if downward, it becomes red (Distribution).
Wyckoff Structural Points:
SC/BC: Detected when a pivot occurs with RSI below/above a threshold.
AR/DAR: The next opposite pivot after SC or BC.
ST/DST: The next same-direction pivot after AR or DAR.
How to Use It
Works best on 4H or daily charts for more reliable signals. Shorter timeframes may generate noise.
Primarily used for interpreting RSI structures through the lens of Wyckoff methodology.
Box colors help quickly identify market phase:
Green box: Likely Accumulation
Red box: Likely Distribution
Triangular markers show key signals:
SC, AR, ST: Accumulation points
BC, DAR, DST: Distribution points
Use these signals alongside price action to manually interpret Wyckoff phases.

What Is the Wyckoff Method?
The Wyckoff Method, developed in the 1930s by Richard Wyckoff, is a market analysis approach that focuses on supply and demand dynamics behind price movements.
Wyckoff’s 5 Phases:
Accumulation: Smart money gradually buying at low prices.
Markup: Price begins trending upwards.
Distribution: Smart money selling to retail traders.
Markdown: Downtrend begins as supply outweighs demand.
Re-accumulation / Re-distribution: Trend-continuation phases with consolidations.
This indicator is specifically designed to detect phase 1 (Accumulation) and phase 3 (Distribution).
Extra Notes
Repainting is minimal, as pivots are confirmed using historical candles.
Labels use plotshape for a clean, minimalist visual style.
Other Wyckoff events (like SOS, LPS, UT, UTAD) could be added in future updates.
This script does not generate buy/sell signals; it is meant for structural interpretation.
ZenAlgo - RangerThe core of the indicator is the daily range, anchored around the 1-minute timeframe VWAP (volume-weighted average price), with ±2 standard deviations defining the upper and lower bounds. This range dynamically forms throughout the day and then gets “locked” at 23:59 each day to establish historical reference values.
The indicator calculates this locked VWAP and standard deviation per day, which serves two primary purposes:
Drawing today's real-time evolving range , updated each minute.
Plotting previous daily ranges , based on historical locked VWAPs and standard deviations, providing visual reference boxes on the chart.
This design enables the trader to identify mean-reversion zones and persistent directional biases based on volume-weighted price consensus.
Multiple Standard Deviation Layers
Beyond the ±2.0 deviation bounds, optional lines are available at half-step increments (e.g., ±0.5, ±1.5, ..., ±4.5) and full-step levels beyond ±2.0 (±3.0, ±4.0, ±5.0). These provide a customizable grid to visualize price extremes, tail behavior, or potential breakout zones relative to volume-adjusted price equilibrium.
Users can enable only the levels they need, offering flexibility depending on their strategy (e.g., scalping versus swing trading).
Historical Range Retention
The script stores up to 70 previous daily VWAP + standard deviation values (adjustable). For each, it draws a full range box and standard deviation lines in the past. This historical context helps in understanding how current price interacts with prior days’ balance zones.
These boxes are always drawn from 00:00 to 23:59 UTC , ensuring consistent alignment across instruments and avoiding session-based discrepancies.
Monday Range Reference (Drawn on Tuesdays)
On Tuesdays, the indicator plots the previous Monday's VWAP-based range across the rest of the week. This serves as a persistent contextual anchor for traders watching weekly unfolding behavior. The range is defined identically (VWAP ±2σ) and drawn from Monday 00:00 through the following Monday.
This method assumes Monday often sets the tone or structure for the week, and tracking this level through time may highlight support/resistance confluence or range expansion scenarios.
Each Monday range is extended over 7 days and includes dashed lines at the 25%, 50%, and 75% marks within the range. These midrange markers help traders assess microstructure behaviors (e.g., reversion to median, failure to hold midpoint, etc.).
Daily Volume Delta via 4H Candles
The indicator also integrates daily buy/sell volume deltas , derived from 4-hour candles of the regular session (non-Heikin Ashi). The logic categorizes volume as:
Buy volume when candle closes above the previous close.
Sell volume when it closes below.
Even split when the candle closes flat.
These volumes accumulate each day to derive net delta (buy - sell). This delta is recorded for each day and can optionally be displayed. A similar process tracks the delta for each Monday range on an ongoing basis.
This information quantifies the market’s aggressive buying vs. selling , correlating with price positions inside or outside the VWAP ranges. A strong delta in one direction may justify a price sustaining above/below VWAP, or diverging from the previous range.
Interpretation and Best Usage Practices
VWAP±2σ Range : Considered a high-probability area for consolidation or reversal. Mean-reverting strategies can benefit from signals within this area.
VWAP±3.0 and beyond : Extreme deviations may signal exhaustion or breakout potential, but are less frequent.
Previous Range Overlap : Overlap of today’s price with past VWAP zones may indicate support/resistance zones.
Monday Range on Tuesday : Persistent levels where the week may repeatedly pivot. Best used on instruments that exhibit weekly cyclical behavior (e.g., indices, forex).
Delta Behavior : Sharp positive or negative delta combined with price outside VWAP bands may suggest initiative participation and potential trend continuation.
Added Value Over Free Alternatives
While many free VWAP tools exist, this script differs in several specific and factual ways:
Anchored 1-minute VWAP lock at a consistent daily timestamp (23:59 UTC), enabling historical analysis.
Historical storage of previous VWAP ranges , with adjustable memory depth and visual continuity.
Flexible standard deviation plotting , down to 0.5 increments, tailored to the user's strategy needs.
Dedicated Monday range analysis , not common in freely available scripts.
Volume delta tracking per day and per Monday range , offering a directional volume view unavailable in standard VWAP implementations.
Persistent and visual interpretation framework using extended boxes and dashed lines for easier contextual navigation.
Each of these additions increases the script’s utility for methodical traders relying on volume-weighted statistics, without requiring additional configuration or external calculations.
Limitations and Disclaimers
VWAP based on 1-minute resolution : The indicator uses minute-level data to calculate daily VWAP and standard deviation. This offers high fidelity on liquid instruments but may produce noisy or unreliable levels on illiquid assets or during periods of low volume. For example, microcap stocks or thinly traded altcoins might not yield stable VWAP centers.
Inferred buy/sell volume : Volume delta is estimated using price movement from one candle to the next (close-to-close logic), rather than actual trade-level aggressor data (which is not accessible via TradingView). This approximation may misclassify volume in choppy or low-volatility environments, especially in assets where price changes do not correlate well with order flow (e.g., crypto during low-volume weekends).
Non-continuous markets and price gaps : For assets that do not trade continuously (e.g., stocks, futures), the VWAP calculation starts fresh every day at 00:00 UTC, regardless of the instrument’s official session start. As a result:
Pre-market/post-market trades may be included in VWAP when analyzing equities, even though they are often excluded in professional VWAP tools.
Opening gaps in equities and futures may distort early VWAP values due to lack of volume context, especially if the previous day's session was already closed when new data begins accumulating.
Weekend gaps in crypto, although less frequent due to 24/7 trading, can still influence delta accumulation if abrupt moves happen during low liquidity periods.
Daily session alignment : The VWAP anchoring and box drawing uses 00:00 UTC to 23:59 UTC windows. For instruments with different official session timings (e.g., US equities, CME futures), this may cause mismatches between expected session VWAPs and the ones shown in this script.
Conclusion
The ZenAlgo – Ranger script offers a systematic visualization of volume-adjusted price behavior, combining statistical VWAP ranges with volume delta overlays. By integrating daily and weekly reference zones, this tool supports structured decision-making in various market environments, particularly for traders prioritizing mean reversion, range expansion, or trend confirmation.
