### 3. STRATEGY A: The Trend Pullback (High Win Rate)
*Use this when the market is trending smoothly.*
#### ✅ HOW TO ENTER A LONG (BUY) POSITION
1. **Trend Check:** Price is trading **ABOVE** the VWAP (Blue Line) and EMA 9 (Yellow Line).
2. **The Wait:** Wait for the price to drop back down (pullback).
3. **The Zone:** Price touches the **Green Demand Zone** OR the **Orange Golden Pocket**.
4. **The Trigger:** A **Green FVG Box** appears on the 5-minute chart.
5. **Execution:** Enter Long. Stop Loss below the recent low. Take Profit at the next Red Zone.
#### 🔻 HOW TO ENTER A SHORT (SELL) POSITION
1. **Trend Check:** Price is trading **BELOW** the VWAP (Blue Line) and EMA 9 (Yellow Line).
2. **The Wait:** Wait for the price to rally up (pullback).
3. **The Zone:** Price touches the **Red Supply Zone** OR the **Orange Golden Pocket**.
4. **The Trigger:** A **Red FVG Box** appears on the 5-minute chart.
5. **Execution:** Enter Short. Stop Loss above the recent high. Take Profit at the next Green Zone.
---
### 4. STRATEGY B: The IB Breakout (Volatility)
*Use this specifically after the first hour of the New York Session (approx. 10:30 NY time).*
* **The Setup:** Look at the **Yellow Box (Initial Balance)** which marks the high/low of the first hour.
* **Bullish Breakout:** If a candle closes **above** the Yellow Box + Price is above VWAP → **Go Long**.
* **Bearish Breakdown:** If a candle closes **below** the Yellow Box + Price is below VWAP → **Go Short**.
* **The Trap (Fakeout):** If price breaks out but immediately falls back inside the Yellow Box, close the trade immediately.
---
### 5. DAILY ROUTINE (Checklist)
1. **Open TradingView:** Switch to the **15m Chart**.
2. **Check Context:** Where are we? Are we near a big Red Box (Supply) or Green Box (Demand)?
3. **Check Trend:** Is price above or below the Blue VWAP line?
4. **Wait for the Open:** Let the first hour of New York pass (to form the Yellow IB Box).
5. **Set Alerts:** Right-click the chart and set alerts for "IB Breakout" or "Golden Pocket".
6. **Execute:** Switch to the **5m Chart** to find your entry trigger (FVG).
---
### 6. RISK MANAGEMENT RULES
* **Stop Loss:** NEVER trade without one. Place it just outside the FVG box or the Zone.
* **Risk per Trade:** 1% to 2% of your account maximum.
* **No Trade Zone:** If the price is "chopping" (moving sideways) inside the Yellow IB Box, **do not trade**. Wait for a breakout.

Vector Trinity I: Structure [VWAP-DBB] This indicator is **Part 1** of the "Vector Trinity" trading system—a comprehensive, data-driven framework designed to analyze market behavior through three distinct physical dimensions:
* **I: Structure (Space):** Defines the battlefield and volatility boundaries (Current Indicator).
* **II: Impulse (Time):** Identifies momentum ignition and energy release.
* **III: Flow (Energy):** Validates the move via volume and capital flow.
**2. Core Logic: Why Rolling VWAP?**
Most standard Bollinger Bands use a Simple Moving Average (SMA) as the centerline. The flaw in SMA is that it treats every candle equally, regardless of trading activity.
**Vector Trinity I** replaces the SMA with a **Rolling VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price)** over a rolling window (default 20).
* **Data Logic:** Price combined with Volume represents the true "cost basis" of the market.
* **Behavior:** The centerline becomes "sticky" during high-volume nodes and moves faster when real capital enters. It represents the *True Mean* of the market structure.
**3. The Dual-Band "Highway" Structure**
Instead of a single channel, this system utilizes a Double Bollinger Band (DBB) architecture based on Standard Deviations (StdDev) from the VWAP:
* **The Noise Zone (Basis to 1.0 StdDev):** The empty space in the middle. Price action here is often choppy and directionless.
* **The Acceleration Zone (1.0 to 2.0 StdDev):** The filled "Cloud." When candles close and stay within this zone, it indicates a strong trend (The Highway).
* **The Reversion Zone (> 2.0 StdDev):** Price is statistically extended and may revert to the mean.
**4. Volatility Squeeze Detection**
The indicator integrates a mechanical "Squeeze" detection based on the relationship between the Bollinger Bands (Variance) and Keltner Channels (ATR).
* **Squeeze ON (Orange Cloud & Dots):** Daily variance is at extreme lows. Energy is compressing. Do not trade direction; prepare for a breakout.
* **Squeeze OFF (Grey Cloud):** Expansion phase. Volatility is returning to the market.
**5. How to Use**
* **Step 1:** Observe the **Purple Line (VWAP)**. Its slope dictates the dominant trend structure.
* **Step 2:** Look for **Orange Zones**. This indicates a "Squeeze." Wait for the cloud to turn Grey.
* **Step 3:** Trade the breakout when price closes inside the "Acceleration Zone" (between the inner and outer bands) accompanied by Volume.
**Settings:**
* **Rolling Length:** 20 (Standard for swing/day trading).
* **Inner/Outer Bands:** 1.0 / 2.0 (The standard trend definition).
* **Squeeze Sensitivity:** 1.5 (Standard KC Multiplier).

### **中文说明**
**1. 简介：矢量三位一体系统 (Vector Trinity)**
本指标是“矢量三位一体”交易系统的 **第一部分**。这是一套基于数据逻辑的综合分析框架，旨在通过三个物理维度解构市场行为：
* **I: Structure 结构 (空间)：** 定义价格运行的战场边界与波动率结构（本指标）。
* **II: Impulse 脉冲 (时间)：** 识别动能的点火与能量释放。
* **III: Flow 流向 (能量)：** 通过成交量与资金流验证突破的真伪。
**2. 核心逻辑：为什么要用 Rolling VWAP？**
传统的布林带使用简单移动平均线 (SMA) 作为中轨。SMA 的缺陷在于它平等地对待每一根 K 线，而忽略了成交量的权重。
**Vector Trinity I** 使用 **Rolling VWAP (滚动成交量加权平均价)** 替代了 SMA。
* **数据逻辑：** 只有结合了成交量的价格，才代表市场真实的“平均持仓成本”。
* **表现特征：** 在放量交易区，中轨会表现出更强的支撑/阻力特性；在缩量区则表现平滑。它代表了市场结构的*真实均值*。
**3. 双通道“高速公路”结构**
本系统不使用单条轨道，而是基于 VWAP 的标准差 (StdDev) 构建了双重布林带 (DBB) 架构：
* **噪音区 (中轨 到 1.0 标准差)：** 中间的空白区域。在此区域内的价格通常是无方向的震荡。
* **加速区 (1.0 到 2.0 标准差)：** 填充颜色的“云带”。当 K 线收盘并运行于此区域时，代表趋势确立，价格进入了“高速公路”。
* **回归区 (> 2.0 标准差)：** 价格在统计学上过热，可能面临均值回归。
**4. 波动率挤压监测 (Squeeze)**
指标内置了基于布林带（方差）与肯特纳通道（ATR）对比的机械化“挤压”监测。
* **挤压状态 (橙色云带 & 底部圆点)：** 每日方差处于极低值 (Variance at extreme lows)。市场正在积蓄能量。此时不应猜测方向，而应等待爆发。
* **扩张状态 (灰色云带)：** 挤压结束，波动率回归，趋势展开。
**5. 使用方法**
* **第一步：** 观察 **紫色中轨 (VWAP)**。它的倾斜方向决定了主要的结构趋势。
* **第二步：** 寻找 **橙色区域**。这代表“挤压”正在发生。耐心等待云带变回灰色。
* **第三步：** 当价格突破并收盘在“加速区”（内轨与外轨之间）时，配合成交量介入交易。
**参数设置：**
* **Rolling Length (周期)：** 20 (波段/日内交易的标准设置)。
* **Inner/Outer Bands (内外轨)：** 1.0 / 2.0 (经典的趋势定义范围)。
* **Squeeze Sensitivity (敏感度)：** 1.5 (标准肯特纳通道倍数)。

Smartos VWAPSmartos VWAP Indicator Description
Smartos VWAP is a versatile and customizable technical analysis tool designed for traders and analysts to gauge the average price of a security based on its trading volume. The indicator calculates the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) over six different customizable periods, allowing users to adapt the analysis to their trading strategies.
Key Features:
Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP): The Smartos VWAP provides a dynamic measure of the average price at which a security has traded throughout the day, weighted by volume. This makes it a useful reference point for assessing price levels.
Customizable Periods: The indicator allows users to set six different candle lengths for VWAP calculations, with default values of 21, 48, 84, 175, 480, and 840 candles. Users can easily modify these values to suit their trading preferences.
Multiple VWAP Lines: The indicator plots six distinct VWAP lines on the chart, each representing a different period. This enables traders to observe price action relative to multiple VWAPs, helping identify trends and potential support and resistance levels.
Visual Clarity: Each VWAP line is color-coded for easy differentiation, making it simple for traders to analyze price movements and the relationship between the current price and the average price over the selected periods.
Usage:
Traders can use the Smartos VWAP indicator to make informed decisions regarding entry and exit points, as well as to assess overall market sentiment. By observing the position of the price relative to the VWAP lines, traders can gain insights into potential bullish or bearish trends.
Push and Exhaustion Strategy with VWAP and Moving AveragesOverview:
The Push and Exhaustion Strategy Indicator is a custom technical analysis tool designed to help traders identify potential market turning points by highlighting significant price movements (pushes) and subsequent periods of reduced momentum (exhaustion). This indicator also incorporates key moving averages (50-period and 200-period) and the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) to provide additional context for trading decisions.
Components:
Push and Exhaustion Thresholds:
Push Threshold: Set at 1.5 by default. This means the price must increase by 50% or more compared to the previous close to signal a push.
Exhaustion Threshold: Set at 0.7 by default. This means the price must decrease by 30% or more compared to the previous close to signal exhaustion.
VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price):
VWAP is plotted on the chart to provide an average price weighted by volume, giving insight into the true average price paid for an asset.
Moving Averages:
50-period Moving Average (MA): Plotted in blue, it helps identify the short-to-mid-term trend direction.
200-period Moving Average (MA): Plotted in orange, it helps identify the long-term trend direction.
How It Works:
Push Condition:
A push signal is generated when the current closing price is at least 1.5 times the previous closing price (pushThreshold).
Additionally, the closing price must be above the VWAP, indicating strong upward momentum.
When these conditions are met, a green triangle is plotted above the price bar.
Exhaustion Condition:
An exhaustion signal is generated when the current closing price is at most 0.7 times the previous closing price (exhaustionThreshold).
Additionally, the closing price must be below the VWAP, indicating weakened momentum and potential reversal.
When these conditions are met, a red triangle is plotted below the price bar.
Visualization:
The indicator plots green triangles above bars to indicate a push signal and red triangles below bars to indicate an exhaustion signal.
It also plots the 50-period and 200-period moving averages as blue and orange lines, respectively.
The VWAP is plotted as a purple line, showing the average price considering the trading volume.
Alerts:
The indicator includes optional alerts that notify the trader when a push or exhaustion signal is detected.
Usage:
Push Signals: Traders might use push signals to enter trades in the direction of strong momentum, typically buying in an uptrend.
Exhaustion Signals: Traders might use exhaustion signals to anticipate potential reversals, considering exiting positions or entering counter-trend trades.
Moving Averages: The 50-period and 200-period moving averages help provide context to the overall trend, aiding in decision-making.
VWAP: Being above or below the VWAP helps validate the strength of the price movement.
This indicator provides a comprehensive view of market momentum, aiding traders in making informed decisions by highlighting significant price moves and potential reversals within the context of prevailing trends.
Zigzag Tails [Trendoscope®] 🎲 Introducing Zigzag Tails Indicator by Trendoscope.
The Zigzag Tails Indicator, a groundbreaking tool from Trendoscope, redefines technical analysis by seamlessly integrating anchored VWAPs (Volume Weighted Average Prices) and Average Price calculations with Zigzag pivot points. This advanced indicator recalculates Average Price or VWAP from one Zigzag pivot to the next, offering unparalleled insights into market movements.
🎯 Innovative Design
Each Zigzag pivot can feature up to three distinct tails, corresponding to the high, low, and close prices of each candle. Users have the flexibility to select between Average Price and VWAP for display on their charts. By default, the indicator plots all three tails, but individual tail visibility is customizable via the settings panel.
Average Price Mode: When selected, tails depict the average price across a specified number of bars.
VWAP Mode: In this mode, tails represent the VWAP, calculated for a given price over a set number of bars.
🎯 Dynamic Dotted Tail
The Zigzag Tails Indicator features dotted tails that extend from the last Zigzag pivot to the current bar. These dotted tails dynamically adapt to market changes and are subject to repainting with the emergence of new Zigzag pivots.
When repainting is enabled, the dotted tails originate from the last unconfirmed Zigzag pivot, extending to the current bar. This setting offers a more immediate, albeit tentative, visual representation of market trends.
With repainting disabled, the dotted tails will be anchored from the last confirmed Zigzag pivot to the current bar, providing a more stable but slightly delayed market analysis.
Irrespective of the repaint option, the dotted dynamic tails is always expected to repaint.
🎯 Practical Applications
The Zigzag Tails Indicator provides more accurate support and resistance levels than traditional VWAP, rolling VWAP, or moving averages. Its precision makes it an invaluable tool for identifying trends, as well as potential trend continuations or reversals.
🛠 Indicator Settings
Zigzag Configuration:
Zigzag Length determines the loopback length for the foundational Zigzag calculation.
Number of Bars represent the calculation distance. This limitation is added to avoid runtime errors on lower timeframes. The calculations run through lots of loops. Hence, if it is run across too many bars, we may get timeout issues.
Repaint: Activating this will also display the last, unconfirmed Zigzag pivot. Since the last pivot is inherently tentative, it may repaint with the arrival of new bars. A pivot is confirmed only when a subsequent unconfirmed pivot emerges on the chart.
Tail Configuration
Tail Type: Choose between average and VWAP for the tail calculation. The average option plots a simple average, while the VWAP option calculates an anchored VWAP from pivot to pivot.
Display Options: Tailored display options for High, Low, Close prices, with customizable colors for each tail type.
Inspired by the ideas of @KioseffTrading's implementation of Zigzag Anchored VWAP
Moving Averages + BB & R.VWAP StDev (multi-tf)█ Moving Averages + Bollinger Bands and Rolling Volume Weighted Average Price with Standard Deviation Bands (Multi Timeframe)
Multiple moving averages can be independently applied.
The length , type and timeframe of each moving average are configurable .
The lines and colors are customizable too.
This script can display:
Moving Averages
Bollinger Bands
Rolling VWAP and Standard Deviation Bands
Types of Moving Averages:
Simple Moving Average (SMA)
Exponential Moving Average (EMA)
Smoothed Moving Average (SMMA)
Weighted Moving Average (WMA)
Volume Weighted Moving Average (VWMA)
Least Squares Moving Average (LSMA)
Hull Moving Average (HMA)
Arnaud Legoux Moving Average (ALMA)
█ Moving Average
Moving Averages are price based, lagging (or reactive) indicators that display the average price of a security over a set period of time.
A Moving Average is a good way to gauge momentum as well as to confirm trends, and define areas of support and resistance.
█ Bollinger Bands
Bollinger Bands consist of a band of three lines which are plotted in relation to security prices.
The line in the middle is usually a Simple Moving Average (SMA) set to a period of 20 days (the type of trend line and period can be changed by the trader, a 20 day moving average is by far the most popular).
The SMA then serves as a base for the Upper and Lower Bands which are used as a way to measure volatility by observing the relationship between the Bands and price.
█ Rolling VWAP
The typical VWAP is designed to be used on intraday charts, as it resets at the beginning of the day.
Such VWAPs cannot be used on daily, weekly or monthly charts. Instead, this rolling VWAP uses a time period that automatically adjusts to the chart's timeframe.
You can thus use the rolling VWAP on any chart that includes volume information in its data feed.
Because the rolling VWAP uses a moving window, it does not exhibit the jumpiness of VWAP plots that reset.
Based on the previous script :
Rolling VWAP█ OVERVIEW
This indicator displays a Rolling Volume-Weighted Average Price. Contrary to VWAP indicators which reset at the beginning of a new time segment, RVWAP calculates using a moving window defined by a time period (not a simple number of bars), so it never resets.
█ CONCEPTS
If you are not already familiar with VWAP, our Help Center will get you started.
The typical VWAP is designed to be used on intraday charts, as it resets at the beginning of the day. Such VWAPs cannot be used on daily, weekly or monthly charts. Instead, this rolling VWAP uses a time period that automatically adjusts to the chart's timeframe. You can thus use RVWAP on any chart that includes volume information in its data feed.
Because RVWAP uses a moving window, it does not exhibit the jumpiness of VWAP plots that reset. You can see the more jagged VWAP on the chart above. We think both can be useful to traders; up to you to decide which flavor works for you.
█ HOW TO USE IT
Load the indicator on an active chart (see the Help Center if you don't know how).
Time period
By default, the script uses an auto-stepping mechanism to adjust the time period of its moving window to the chart's timeframe. The following table shows chart timeframes and the corresponding time period used by the script. When the chart's timeframe is less than or equal to the timeframe in the first column, the second column's time period is used to calculate RVWAP:
Chart Time
timeframe period
1min 🠆 1H
5min 🠆 4H
1H 🠆 1D
4H 🠆 3D
12H 🠆 1W
1D 🠆 1M
1W 🠆 3M
You can use the script's inputs to specify a fixed time period, which you can express in any combination of days, hours and minutes.
By default, the time period currently used is displayed in the lower-right corner of the chart. The script's inputs allow you to hide the display or change its size and location.
Minimum Window Size
This input field determines the minimum number of values to keep in the moving window, even if these values are outside the prescribed time period. This mitigates situations where a large time gap between two bars would cause the time window to be empty, which can occur in non-24x7 markets where large time gaps may separate contiguous chart bars, namely across holidays or trading sessions. For example, if you were using a 1D time period and there is a two-day gap between two bars, then no chart bars would fit in the moving window after the gap. The default value is 10 bars.
█ NOTES
If you are interested in VWAP indicators, you may find the VWAP Auto Anchored built-in indicator worth a try.
For Pine Script™ coders
The heart of this script's calculations uses the `totalForTimeWhen()` function from the ConditionalAverages library published by PineCoders . It works by maintaining an array of values included in a time period, but without a for loop requiring a lookback from the current bar, so it is much more efficient.
We write our Pine Script™ code using the recommendations in the User Manual's Style Guide .
Look first. Then leap.
Smart Money Fluid [JOAT]
Smart Money Fluid — Accumulation and Distribution Flow Analysis
Smart Money Fluid tracks institutional-style accumulation and distribution patterns using a sophisticated combination of Money Flow Index, Chaikin Money Flow, and VWAP-relative price analysis. It aims to reveal whether larger participants may be accumulating (buying) or distributing (selling)—information that can precede significant price moves.
What Makes This Indicator Unique
Unlike single money flow indicators, Smart Money Fluid:
Combines three different money flow methodologies into one composite signal
Detects divergences between price and money flow automatically
Identifies high-volume conditions that add conviction to signals
Provides both the composite signal and individual component values
Features a momentum histogram showing flow acceleration
What This Indicator Does
Combines multiple money flow indicators into a composite signal (0-100 scale)
Identifies accumulation zones (potential institutional buying) and distribution zones (potential selling)
Detects divergences between price and money flow
Highlights high-volume conditions for stronger signals
Tracks momentum direction within the flow
Provides comprehensive dashboard with all component values
Composite Calculation Explained
The Smart Money Flow composite combines three proven money flow methodologies:
// Component 1: Money Flow Index (MFI) - 40% weight
// Measures buying/selling pressure using price and volume
float mfi = 100 - (100 / (1 + mfRatio))
// Component 2: Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) - 30% weight
// Measures accumulation/distribution based on close position within range
float cmf = sum(mfVolume, length) / sum(volume, length) * 100
// Component 3: VWAP Price Strength - 30% weight
// Measures price position relative to volume-weighted average price
float priceVsVWAP = (close - vwap) / vwap * 100
// Final Composite (scaled to 0-100)
float rawSMF = (mfi * 0.4 + (cmf + 50) * 0.3 + (50 + priceVsVWAP * 5) * 0.3)
float smf = ta.ema(rawSMF, smoothLength)
State Classification
Accumulating (Green Zone) — SMF above accumulation threshold (default: 60). Suggests institutional buying may be occurring.
Distributing (Red Zone) — SMF below distribution threshold (default: 40). Suggests institutional selling may be occurring.
Neutral (Gray Zone) — SMF between thresholds. No clear accumulation or distribution detected.
Divergence Detection
The indicator automatically detects divergences using pivot analysis:
Bullish Divergence — Price makes a lower low while SMF makes a higher low. This suggests selling pressure is weakening despite lower prices—potential reversal signal.
Bearish Divergence — Price makes a higher high while SMF makes a lower high. This suggests buying pressure is weakening despite higher prices—potential reversal signal.
Divergences are marked with "DIV" labels on the chart.
Visual Features
SMF Line with Glow — Main composite line with gradient coloring and glow effect
Signal Line — Slower EMA of SMF for crossover signals
Flow Momentum Histogram — Shows the difference between SMF and signal line with four-color coding:
- Bright green: Positive and accelerating
- Faded green: Positive but decelerating
- Bright red: Negative and accelerating
- Faded red: Negative but decelerating
Zone Backgrounds — Green tint in accumulation zone, red tint in distribution zone
Reference Lines — Dashed lines at accumulation/distribution thresholds, dotted line at 50
Strong Signal Markers — Triangles appear when accumulation/distribution occurs with high volume
Divergence Labels — "DIV" markers when divergences are detected
Color Scheme
Accumulation Color — Default: #00E676 (bright green)
Distribution Color — Default: #FF5252 (red)
Neutral Color — Default: #9E9E9E (gray)
Gradient Coloring — SMF line transitions smoothly between colors based on value
Dashboard Information
The on-chart table (top-right corner) displays:
Current SMF value with state coloring

Opening Range Breakout with VWAP & RSI ConfirmationThis indicator identifies breakout trading opportunities based on the Opening Range Breakout (ORB) strategy combined with intraday VWAP and higher timeframe RSI confirmation.
Opening Range: Calculates the high, low, and midpoint of the first 15 or 30 minutes (configurable) after your specified market open time.
Intraday VWAP: A volume-weighted average price calculated manually and reset daily, tracking price action throughout the trading day.
RSI Confirmation: Uses RSI from a user-selected higher timeframe (1H, 4H, or Daily) to confirm signals.
Buy Signal: Triggered when VWAP breaks above the Opening Range High AND the RSI is below or equal to the buy threshold (default 30).
Sell Signal: Triggered when VWAP breaks below the Opening Range Low AND the RSI is above or equal to the sell threshold (default 70).
Visuals: Plots Opening Range levels and VWAP on the chart with clear buy/sell markers and optional labels showing RSI values.
Alerts: Provides alert conditions for buy and sell signals to facilitate timely trading decisions.
This tool helps traders capture momentum breakouts while filtering trades based on momentum strength indicated by RSI.
Range Lattice## RangeLattice
RangeLattice constructs a higher-timeframe scaffolding on any intraday chart, locking in structural highs/lows, mid/quarter grids, VWAP confluence, and live acceptance/break analytics. It provides a non-repainting overlay that turns range management into a disciplined process.
HOW IT WORKS
Structure Harvesting – Using request.security() , the script samples highs/lows from a user-selected timeframe (default 240 minutes) over a configurable lookback to establish the dominant range.
Grid Construction – Midpoint and quarter levels are derived mathematically, mirroring how institutional traders map distribution/accumulation zones.
Acceptance Detection – Consecutive closes inside the range flip an acceptance flag and darken the cloud, signaling balanced auction conditions.
Break Confirmation – Multi-bar closes outside the structure raise break labels and alerts, filtering the countless fake-outs that plague breakout traders.
VWAP Fan Overlay – Session VWAP plus ATR-based bands provide a live measure of flow centering relative to the lattice.
HOW TO USE IT
Range Plays : Fade taps of the outer rails only when acceptance is active and VWAP sits inside the grid—this is where mean-reversion works best.
Breakout Plays : Wait for confirmed break labels before entering expansion trades; the dashboard's Width/ATR metric tells you if the expansion has enough fuel.
Market Prep : Carry the same lattice from pre-market into regular trading hours by keeping the structure timeframe fixed; alerts keep you notified even when managing multiple tickers.
VISUAL FEATURES
Range Tap and Mid Pivot markers provide a tape-reading breadcrumb trail for journaling.
Cloud fill opacity tightens when acceptance persists, visually signaling balance compressions ready to break.
Dashboard displays absolute width, ATR-normalized width, and current state (Balanced vs Transitional) so you can glance across charts quickly.
Acceptance Flag toggle: Keep the repeated acceptance squares hidden until you need to audit balance.
PARAMETERS
Structure Timeframe (default: 240): Choose the timeframe whose ranges matter most (4H for indices, Daily for stocks).
Structure Lookback (default: 60): Bars sampled on the structure timeframe.
Acceptance Bars (default: 8): How many consecutive bars inside the range confirm balance.
Break Confirmation Bars (default: 3): Bars required outside the range to validate a breakout.
ATR Reference (default: 14): ATR period for width normalization.
Show Midpoint Grid (default: enabled): Display the midpoint and quarter levels.
Show Adaptive VWAP Fan (default: enabled): Toggle the VWAP channel for assets where volume distribution matters most.
Show Acceptance Flags (default: disabled): Turn the acceptance markers on/off for maximum visual control.
Show Range Dashboard (default: enabled): Disable if screen space is limited, re-enable during prep sessions.
ALERTS
The indicator includes five alert conditions:
Range High Tap: Price interacted with the RangeLattice high
Range Low Tap: Price interacted with the RangeLattice low
Range Mid Tap: Price interacted with the RangeLattice mid
Range Break Up: Confirmed upside breakout
Range Break Down: Confirmed downside breakout
Where it works best
This indicator works best on liquid instruments with clear structural levels. On very low timeframes (1-minute and below), the structure may update too frequently to be useful. The acceptance/break confirmation system requires patience—faster traders may find the multi-bar confirmation too slow for scalping. The VWAP fan is session-based and resets daily, which may not suit all trading styles.
FluxPulse Beacon## FluxPulse Beacon
FluxPulse Beacon applies a microstructure lens to every bar, combining directional thrust, realized volatility, and multi-timeframe liquidity checks to decide whether the tape is being pushed by real sponsorship or just noise. The oscillator's color-coded columns and adaptive burst thresholds transform complex flow dynamics into a single actionable flux score for futures and equities traders.
HOW IT WORKS
Momentum Extraction – Price differentials over a configurable pulse distance are smoothed using exponential moving averages to isolate directional thrust without reacting to single prints.
Volatility + Liquidity Normalization – The momentum stream is divided by realized volatility and multiplied by both local and higher-timeframe EMA volume ratios, ensuring pulses only appear when volatility and liquidity align.
Adaptive Thresholding – A volatility-derived standard deviation of flux is blended with the base threshold so bursts scale automatically between low-volatility and high-volatility market conditions.
Divergence Engine – Linear regression slopes compare price vs. flux to tag bullish/bearish divergences, highlighting stealth accumulation or distribution zones.
HOW TO USE IT
Continuation Entries : Go with the trend when histogram bars stay above the adaptive threshold, the signal line confirms, and trend bias agrees—this is where liquidity-backed follow-through lives.
Fade Plays : Watch for divergence alerts and shrinking compression values; when flux prints below zero yet price grinds higher, hidden selling pressure often precedes rollovers.
Session Filter : Compression percentage in the diagnostics table instantly tells you whether to trade thin overnight sessions—low compression means stand down.
VISUAL FEATURES
Dynamic background heat maps flux magnitude, while threshold lines provide a quick read on whether a pulse is statistically significant.
Diagnostics table displays live flux, signal, adaptive threshold, and compression for quick reference.
Alert-first workflow: The surface is intentionally clean—bursts and divergences are delivered via alerts instead of on-chart clutter.
PARAMETERS
Trend EMA Length (default: 34): Defines the macro bias anchor; increase for higher-timeframe confirmation.
Pulse Distance (default: 8): Controls how sensitive momentum extraction becomes.
Volatility Window (default: 21): Sample window for realized volatility normalization.
Liquidity Window (default: 55): Volume smoothing window that proxies liquidity expansion.
Liquidity Reference TF (default: 60): Select a higher timeframe to cross-check whether current volume matches institutional flows.
Adaptive Threshold (default: enabled): Disable for fixed thresholds on slower markets; enable for high-volatility assets.
Base Burst Threshold (default: 1.25): Minimum flux magnitude that qualifies as an actionable pulse.
ALERTS
The indicator includes four alert conditions:
Bull Burst: Detects upside liquidity pulses
Bear Burst: Detects downside liquidity pulses
Bull Divergence: Flags bullish delta divergence
Bear Divergence: Flags bearish delta divergence
LIMITATIONS
This indicator is designed for liquid futures and equity markets. Performance may degrade in low-volume or highly illiquid instruments. The adaptive threshold system works best on timeframes where sufficient volatility history exists (typically 15-minute charts and above). Divergence signals are probabilistic and should be confirmed with price action.

ORB + Session VWAP Pro (London & NY) — fixedORB + Session VWAP Pro (London & NY) — Listing copy (EN)
What it is
A clean, non-repainting intraday tool that fuses the classic Opening Range Breakout (ORB) with a session-anchored VWAP filter for London and New York. It highlights only the higher-quality breakouts (above/below session VWAP), adds an optional retest confirmation, and scores each signal with an intuitive Confidence metric (0–100).
Why it works
• ORB provides the day’s first actionable structure (range high/low).
• Session VWAP filters “cheap” breaks and favors flows aligned with session value.
• Optional retest reduces first-tick whipsaws.
• Confidence blends breakout depth (vs ATR), VWAP slope and band distance.
Key visuals
• LDN/NY OR High/Low (line break style) + optional OR boxes.
• Active Session VWAP (resets per signal window; falls back to daily VWAP outside).
• Optional VWAP bands (stdev or %).
• Session shading (London/NY windows).
• Signal markers (LDN BUY/SELL, NY BUY/SELL) fired with cooldown.
Signals
• London Long / Short: Break of LDN OR High/Low ± ATR buffer, aligned with VWAP side.
• NY Long / Short: Same logic during NY window.
• Retest (optional): Requires a tag back to the OR level ± tolerance before confirmation.
• Confidence: 0–100; gate via Min Confidence (default 55).
Inputs that matter
• Open Range Length (min): Default 15.
• London/NY times & timezones.
• ATR buffer & retest tolerance.
• Bands mode: Stdev (with lookback) or % (e.g., 1%).
• Signal cooldown: Avoids clutter on fast moves.
Non-repaint policy
• OR lines build within fixed time windows using the current bar’s timestamp.
• VWAP is cumulative within the session window; no lookahead.
• All ta.crossover/ta.crossunder are precomputed every bar (no conditional execution).
• Signals are based on live bar values, not future bars.
⸻
Quick start (examples)
1) EURUSD, London momentum
• Chart: 5m or 15m.
• OR: 15 min starting 08:00 Europe/London.
• Signals: Use defaults; keep ATR buffer = 0.2 and Retest = ON, Min Confidence ≥ 55.
• Play:
• BUY when price breaks LDN OR High + buffer and stays above VWAP; retest confirms.
• Trail behind VWAP or band #1; partials into band #2.
2) NAS100, New York breakout & run
• Chart: 5m.
• NY window: 09:30 America/New_York, OR = 15 min.
• Retest OFF on high momentum days; Min Confidence ≥ 60.
• Use band mode Stdev, bandLen=50, show ±1/±2.
• Momentum continuation: add on pullbacks that hold above VWAP after the breakout.
3) XAUUSD, London fake & VWAP fade
• Chart: 5m.
• Keep Retest ON; accept only shorts that break OR Low but retest fails back under VWAP.
• Confidence gate ≥ 50 to allow more mean-reversion setups.
⸻
Pro tips
• Adjust ATR buffer to the instrument: FX 0.15–0.25, indices 0.20–0.35, metals 0.20–0.30.
• Retest ON for choppy conditions; OFF for news momentum.
• Use VWAP bands: take partials at ±1; stretch targets at ±2/±3.
• Session timezones are explicit (London/New York). Ensure they match your instrument’s behavior.
• Pair with a higher-TF bias (e.g., 1H/4H trend) for directional filtering.
⸻
Alerts (ready to use)
• ORB+SVWAP — LDN Long, LDN Short, NY Long, NY Short
(Respect your cooldown; alerts fire only after confirmation and confidence gate.)
⸻
Known limits & notes
• Designed for intraday. On 1D+ charts, session windows compress.
• If your broker session differs from London/NY clocks on a holiday, adjust input times.
• Session-anchored VWAP uses the script’s signal window, not exchange sessions, by design.

Scalper's Fractal Cloud with RSI + VWAP + MACD (Fixed)Scalper’s Fractal Confluence Dashboard
1. Purpose of the Indicator
This TradingView indicator script provides a high-confluence setup for scalping and day trading. It blends momentum indicators (RSI, MACD), trend bias tools (EMA Cloud, VWAP), and structure (fractal swings, gap zones) to help confirm precise entries and exits.
2. Components of the Indicator
- EMA Cloud (50 & 200 EMA): Trend bias – green means bullish, red means bearish. Avoid longs under red cloud.
- VWAP: Institutional volume anchor. Ideal entries are pullbacks to VWAP in direction of trend.
- Gap Zones: Shows open-air zones (white space) where price can move fast. Used to anticipate momentum moves.
- ZigZag Swings: Marks structural pivots (highs/lows) – useful for stop placement and range anticipation.
- MACD Histogram: Shows bullish or bearish momentum via background color.
- RSI: Overbought (>70) or oversold (<30) warnings. Good for exits or countertrend reversion plays.
- EMA Spread Label: Quick view of momentum strength. Wide spread = strong trend.
3. Scalping Entry Checklist
Before entering a trade, confirm these conditions:
• • Bias: EMA cloud color supports trade direction
• • Price is above/below VWAP (confirming institutional flow)
• • MACD histogram matches direction (green for long, red for short)
• • RSI not at extreme (unless you’re fading trend)
• • If entering gap zone, expect fast move
• • Recent swing high/low nearby for target or stop
4. Risk & Sizing Guidelines
Risk 1–2% of account per trade. Place stop below recent swing low (for longs) or high (for shorts). Use fractional sizing near VWAP or white space zones for scalping reversals.

Advanced HFT Detection with VWAP & SpreadsExplanation of the HFT Detection Strategy
🔹 1. Key Indicators Used in the Strategy
It's works by combining VWAP, moving averages (SMA), volume spikes, and price jumps to detect potential HFT activity.
✅ (A) VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price)
VWAP acts as a benchmark price that professional traders and institutions use to execute large orders.
If price is above VWAP, buyers are in control → Bullish trend
If price is below VWAP, sellers are in control → Bearish trend
HFT algorithms often place buy orders above VWAP and sell orders below VWAP to follow momentum.
➡️ Why VWAP? It ensures that signals follow the institutional trading trend.
✅ (B) Moving Averages (SMA)
Moving averages smooth out price data and help in detecting short-term momentum changes.
Fast Moving Average (5-period SMA): Reacts quickly to price changes
Slow Moving Average (20-period SMA): Identifies trend direction
➡️ Why SMA? It filters noise and confirms short-term trend shifts.
✅ (C) Volume Spike Detection
High-frequency trading is often accompanied by large volume surges. We define a volume spike as:
📌 Current Volume > 2× Average Volume of last 20 bars
➡️ Why Volume? HFTs execute rapid buy/sell orders when they detect liquidity, leading to sudden volume bursts.
✅ (D) Price Jump Detection (Sudden Volatility)
HFT algorithms often exploit quick price movements. We check if the price has moved more than twice the ATR (Average True Range) in the last 5 bars.
➡️ Why ATR? It helps to detect abnormal price movements compared to normal volatility.
🔹 2. Trading Signal Logic
Now that we have VWAP, moving averages, volume, and price movement filters, we generate buy and sell signals based on conditions.
✅ (A) Buy Signal Condition
A BUY signal is triggered when:
✔ Fast SMA crosses above Slow SMA → Short-term trend is turning bullish
✔ Volume spike occurs → HFTs are active
✔ Sudden price jump detected → High volatility
✔ Price is above VWAP → Confirms bullish trend
➡️ Why this works? It confirms that institutional traders & HFTs are buying aggressively.
✅ (B) Sell Signal Condition
A SELL signal is triggered when:
✔ Fast SMA crosses below Slow SMA → Short-term trend is turning bearish
✔ Volume spike occurs → HFTs are selling aggressively
✔ Sudden price drop detected → High volatility
✔ Price is below VWAP → Confirms bearish trend
➡️ Why this works? It confirms that institutional traders & HFTs are selling aggressively.
🔹 3. Visual Representation (Plotting Signals & VWAP)
Once we detect buy and sell signals, we mark them on the chart.
✅ (A) Buy/Sell Markers
🟢 Buy → Green upward arrow below the candle
🔴 Sell → Red downward arrow above the candle
✅ (B) VWAP Line on Chart
We also plot VWAP as a blue line to visualize trend direction.
✅ (C) Highlighting Volume Spikes
To easily spot HFT activity, we highlight volume spike bars with a blue background.
🔹 4. How to Use This Strategy?
1️⃣ Apply this script on a 1-minute or 5-minute intraday chart.
2️⃣ Look for BUY signals above VWAP and SELL signals below VWAP.
3️⃣ Verify that the volume spikes before taking action.
4️⃣ Use stop-loss & risk management (e.g., stop-loss at recent low/high).
🚀 Summary: Why This Strategy Works?
✅ VWAP ensures we follow institutional traders
✅ Volume spikes confirm sudden liquidity inflows
✅ Price jumps detect fast market moves caused by HFT bots
✅ Moving averages smooth out short-term trend shifts
Multi VWAP for Wick HunterCredit: honeybadgermakesfunnymoney for this Open Source Script
Published:
This is a tool that will allow you to visualize Wick Hunter's calcation of VWAP. Wick Hunter uses this calcuation for its Liqudations Bots.
There are four settings that you need to be configured to visualize your VWAP Band:
Long VWAP - The distance from current VWAP price, in %, that price must be UNDER when a liquidation event occurs to meet your you VWAP condition. The higher the value, the more price must move below the current VWAP price for it to enter a LONG position.
Short VWAP - The distance from current VWAP price, in %, that price must be ABOVE when a liquidation event occurs to meet your you VWAP condition. The higher the value, the more price must move above the current VWAP price for it to enter a SHORT position.
VWAP Timeframe - Select the timeframe you want the VWAP to be measured on.
VWAP Periods: Input the time period over which you want the VWAP to be measured over. For example, if you use "5" for this and "15" for VWAP Timeframe. The VWAP will be calculated based on the last five 15 minute candles.
You can play around with these settings using the indicator provide above. The indicator will print a triangle when the conditon for VWAP is met for a long for short trade. Play around with these settings. A few good timeframes that are popular are 5 minute, 15 minute, and one hour (60 minute). As far as periods, the most common settings are between 5 periods and 15 periods. In general the lower the timeframe and periods and closer VWAP will follow price.

Volume Weighted Moving Average (VWMA)
Least Squares Moving Average (LSMA)
Hull Moving Average (HMA)
Arnaud Legoux Moving Average (ALMA)
█ Moving Average
Moving Averages are price based, lagging (or reactive) indicators that display the average price of a security over a set period of time.
A Moving Average is a good way to gauge momentum as well as to confirm trends, and define areas of support and resistance.
█ Bollinger Bands
Bollinger Bands consist of a band of three lines which are plotted in relation to security prices.
The line in the middle is usually a Simple Moving Average (SMA) set to a period of 20 days (the type of trend line and period can be changed by the trader, a 20 day moving average is by far the most popular).
The SMA then serves as a base for the Upper and Lower Bands which are used as a way to measure volatility by observing the relationship between the Bands and price.
█ Gaussian Filter
Gaussian filter can be used for smoothing.
It rejects high frequencies (fast movements) better than an EMA and has lower lag.
A Gaussian filter is one whose transfer response is described by the familiar Gaussian bell-shaped curve.
In the case of low-pass filters, only the upper half of the curve describes the filter.
The use of gaussian filters is a move toward achieving the dual goal of reducing lag and reducing the lag of high-frequency components relative to the lag of lower-frequency components.
█ Rolling VWAP
The typical VWAP is designed to be used on intraday charts, as it resets at the beginning of the day.
Such VWAPs cannot be used on daily, weekly or monthly charts. Instead, this rolling VWAP uses a time period that automatically adjusts to the chart's timeframe.
You can thus use the rolling VWAP on any chart that includes volume information in its data feed.
Because the rolling VWAP uses a moving window, it does not exhibit the jumpiness of VWAP plots that reset.

HYE Combo Market [Strategy] (Vwap Mean Reversion + Trend Hunter)In this strategy, I used a combination of trend hunter and vwap mean reversion strategies that I published before.
Trend Hunter Strategy:
Mean Reversion Vwap Strategy:
The results are quite impressive, especially for bitcoin.
While the hodl return for bitcoin was 13419%, the strategy's return in the same period was about 5 times (65000%) of this.
s3.tradingview.com
In this combo strategy, I made some changes to the original settings of the strategies used together and added some more new features.
Trend Hunter Strategy Settings: (Original / Combo)
- Slow Tenkansen Period : 9 / 9
- Slow Kijunsen Period : 26 / 13
- Fast Tenkansen Period : 5 / 3
- Fast Kijunsen Period : 13 / 7
- BB Length : 20 / 20
- BB Stdev : 2 / 2
- TSV Length : 13 / 20
- TSV Ema Length : 7 / 7
* I also added a "vidya moving average" to be used as a confirmation tool to open a long position. (Candle close must be above the vidya line.)
Vwap Mean Reversion Strategy Settings: (Original / Combo)
- Small Vwap : 2 / 8
- Big Vwap : 5 / 10
- Percent Below to Buy : 3 / 2
- RSI Period : 2 / 2
- RSI Ema Period : 5 / 5
- Maximum RSI Level for Buy : 30
* I also added a "mean vwap line" to be used for exits in this part of the strategy. In the original version, when small vwap crossovers big vwap, we close the position, but in this strategy we will wait for the close above the mean vwap.
TIPS AND WARNINGS
1-) The standard settings of this combo strategy is designed and tested with daily timeframe. For lower timeframes, you should change the strategy settings and find the best value for yourself.
2-) Only the mean vwap line is displayed on the graph. For a detailed view, you can delete the "//" marks from the plot codes in the strategy code.
3-) This is a strategy for educational and experimental purposes. It cannot be considered as investment advice. You should be careful and make your own risk assessment when opening real market trades using this strategy.

MTF VWAP + Candlestick VWAP Reactions (Bounce + Score)It’s an intraday VWAP + candlestick confluence tool that:
Draws daily, weekly, monthly, yearly VWAPs.
Detects textbook candlestick patterns, classed as BuH/BuM (bullish high/moderate) and BeH/BeM (bearish high/moderate) with colored boxes.
Triggers long/short arrows only when price bounces off a VWAP by at least 0.15% AND there’s a recent matching pattern.
Grades every signal as A / B / C with a score 1–10:
A (8–10) = high-reliability pattern (BuH/BeH) + strong 2-candle body reaction (your A+ setups).
B (5–8) = moderate pattern (BuM/BeM) + one solid bounce.
C (1–5) = weaker / mixed context (scalpy or gamble).
RSI VWAP v1 [JopAlgo]RSI VWAP v1.1 made stronger by volume-aware!
We know there's nothing new and the original RSI already does an excellent job. We're just working on small, practical improvements – here's our take: The same basic idea, clearer display, and a single, specially developed rolling line: a VWAP of the RSI that incorporates volume (participation) into the calculation.
Do you prefer the pure classic?
You can still use Wilder or Cutler engines –
but the star here is the VW-RSI + rolling line.
This RSI also offers the possibility of illustrating a possible
POC (Point of Control - or the HAL or VAL) level.
However, the indicator does NOT plot any of these levels itself.
We have included an illustration in the chart for this!
We hope this version makes your decision-making easier.
What you’ll see
The RSI line with a 50 midline and optional bands: either static 70/30 or adaptive μ±k·σ of the Rolling Line.
One smoothing concept only: the Rolling Line (light blue) = VWAP of RSI.
Shadow shading between RSI and the Rolling Line (green when RSI > line, red when RSI < line).
A lighter tint only on the parts of that shadow that sit above the upper band or below the lower band (quick overbought/oversold context).
Simple divergence lines drawn from RSI pivots (green for regular bullish, red for regular bearish). No labels, no buy/sell text—kept deliberately clean.
What’s new, and why it helps
VW-RSI engine (default):
RSI can be computed from volume-weighted up/down moves, so momentum reflects how much traded when price moved—not just the direction.
Rolling Line (VWAP of RSI) with pure VWAP adaptation:
Low volume: blends toward a faster VWAP so early, thin starts aren’t missed.
Volume spikes: blends toward a slower VWAP so a single heavy bar doesn’t whip the curve.
You can reveal the Base Rolling (pre-adaptation) line to see exactly how much adaptation is happening.
Adaptive bands (optional):
Instead of fixed 70/30, use mean ± k·stdev of the Rolling Line over a lookback. Levels breathe with the market—useful in strong trends where static bounds stay pinned.
Minimal, readable panel:
One smoothing, one story. The shadow tells you who’s in control; the lighter highlight shows stretch beyond your lines.
How to read it (fast)
Bias: RSI above 50 (and a rising Rolling Line) → bullish bias; below 50 → bearish bias.
Trigger: RSI crossing the Rolling Line with the bias (e.g., above 50 and crossing up).
Stretch: Near/above the upper band, avoid chasing; near/below the lower band, avoid panic—prefer a cross back through the line.
Divergence lines: Use as context, not as standalone signals. They often help you wait for the next cross or avoid late entries into exhaustion.
Settings that actually matter
RSI Engine: VW-RSI (default), Wilder, or Cutler.
Rolling Line Length: the VWAP length on RSI (higher = calmer, lower = earlier).
Adaptive behavior (pure VWAP):
Speed-up on Low Volume → blends toward fast VWAP (factor of your length).
Dampen Spikes (volume z-score) → blends toward slow VWAP.
Fast/Slow Factors → how far those fast/slow variants sit from the base length.
Bands: choose Static 70/30 or Adaptive μ±k·σ (set the lookback and k).
Visuals: show/hide Base Rolling (ref), main shadow, and highlight beyond bands.
Signal gating: optional “ignore first bars” per day/session if you dislike open noise.
Starter presets
Scalp (1–5m): RSI 9–12, Rolling 12–18, FastFactor ~0.5, SlowFactor ~2.0, Adaptive on.
Intraday (15m–1H): RSI 10–14, Rolling 18–26, Bands k = 1.0–1.4.
Swing (4H–1D): RSI 14–20, Rolling 26–40, Bands k = 1.2–1.8, Adaptive on.
Where it shines (and limits)
Best: liquid markets where volume structure matters (majors, indices, large caps).
Works elsewhere: even with imperfect volume, the shadow + bands remain useful.
Limits: very thin/illiquid assets reduce the benefit of volume-weighting—lengthen settings if needed.

Money Flow Indicator (Chaikin Oscillator) with VWAPStrategy Overview
Entry Conditions:
Buy Entry:
The Chaikin Oscillator crosses above the signal line.
The current price is above the VWAP.
Sell Entry:
The Chaikin Oscillator crosses below the signal line.
The current price is below the VWAP.
Exit Conditions:
Profit Taking:
Take profit when a target profit is reached (e.g., a 2% increase from the entry price).
Stop Loss:
Set a stop loss, for example, at a 1% decline from the entry price.
Risk Management:
Manage risk by limiting each trade to no more than 1-2% of the account balance.
Calculate position size based on risk and trade accordingly.

Use other indicators (like moving averages) to confirm the overall trend and focus trades in the direction of the trend.
In an uptrend, prioritize buy entries; in a downtrend, prioritize sell entries.
Specific Trade Scenarios
Example 1: Buy Entry:
Enter a buy position when the Chaikin Oscillator crosses above the signal line and the price is above the VWAP.
Set a stop loss 1% below the entry price and a profit target 2% above the entry price.
Example 2: Sell Entry:
Enter a sell position when the Chaikin Oscillator crosses below the signal line and the price is below the VWAP.
Set a stop loss 1% above the entry price and a profit target 2% below the entry price.
Additional Considerations
Backtesting: Test this strategy with historical data to evaluate performance and make adjustments as needed.
Market Conditions: Pay attention to market volatility and economic indicators, adjusting the trading strategy flexibly.
