Quarterly Theory ICT 03 [TradingFinder] Precision Swing Points🔵 Introduction
Precision Swing Point (PSP) is a divergence pattern in the closing of candles between two correlated assets, which can indicate a potential trend reversal. This structure appears at market turning points and highlights discrepancies between the price behavior of two related assets.
PSP typically forms in key timeframes such as 5-minute, 15-minute, and 90-minute charts, and is often used in combination with Smart Money Concepts (SMT) to confirm trade entries.
PSP is categorized into Bearish PSP and Bullish PSP :
Bearish PSP : Occurs when an asset breaks its previous high, and its middle candle closes bullish, while the correlated asset closes bearish at the same level. This divergence signals weakness in the uptrend and a potential price reversal downward.
Bullish PSP : Occurs when an asset breaks its previous low, and its middle candle closes bearish, while the correlated asset closes bullish at the same level. This suggests weakness in the downtrend and a potential price increase.
🟣 Trading Strategies Using Precision Swing Point (PSP)
PSP can be integrated into various trading strategies to improve entry accuracy and filter out false signals. One common method is combining PSP with SMT (divergence between correlated assets), where traders identify divergence and enter a trade only after PSP confirms the move.
Additionally, PSP can act as a liquidity gap, meaning that price tends to react to the wick of the PSP candle, making it a favorable entry point with a tight stop-loss and high risk-to-reward ratio. Furthermore, PSP combined with Order Blocks and Fair Value Gaps in higher timeframes allows traders to identify stronger reversal zones.
In lower timeframes, such as 5-minute or 15-minute charts, PSP can serve as a confirmation for more precise entries in the direction of the higher timeframe trend. This is particularly useful in scalping and intraday trading, helping traders execute smarter entries while minimizing unnecessary stop-outs.
🔵 How to Use
PSP is a trading pattern based on divergence in candle closures between two correlated assets. This divergence signals a difference in trend strength and can be used to identify precise market turning points. PSP is divided into Bullish PSP and Bearish PSP, each applicable for long and short trades.
🟣 Bullish PSP
A Bullish PSP forms when, at a market turning point, the middle candle of one asset closes bearish while the correlated asset closes bullish. This discrepancy indicates weakness in the downtrend and a potential price reversal upward.
Traders can use this as a signal for long (buy) trades. The best approach is to wait for price to return to the wick of the PSP candle, as this area typically acts as a liquidity level.
f PSP forms within an Order Block or Fair Value Gap in a higher timeframe, its reliability increases, allowing for entries with tight stop-loss and optimal risk-to-reward ratios.
🟣 Bearish PSP
A Bearish PSP forms when, at a market turning point, the middle candle of one asset closes bullish while the correlated asset closes bearish. This indicates weakness in the uptrend and a potential price decline.
Traders use this pattern to enter short (sell) trades. The best entry occurs when price retests the wick of the PSP candle, as this level often acts as a resistance zone, pushing price lower.
If PSP aligns with a significant liquidity area or Order Block in a higher timeframe, traders can enter with greater confidence and place their stop-loss just above the PSP wick.
Overall, PSP is a highly effective tool for filtering false signals and improving trade entry precision. Combining PSP with SMT, Order Blocks, and Fair Value Gaps across multiple timeframes allows traders to execute higher-accuracy trades with lower risk.
🔵 Settings
Mode :
2 Symbol : Identifies PSP and PCP between two correlated assets.
3 Symbol : Compares three assets to detect more complex divergences and stronger confirmation signals.
Second Symbol : The second asset used in PSP and correlation calculations.
Third Symbol : Used in three-symbol mode for deeper PSP and PCP analysis.
Filter Precision X Point : Enables or disables filtering for more precise PSP and PCP detection. This filter only identifies PSP and PCP when the base asset's candle qualifies as a Pin Bar.
Trend Effect : By changing the Trend Effect status to "Off," all Pin bars, whether bullish or bearish, are displayed regardless of the current market trend. If the status remains "On," only Pin bars in the direction of the main market trend are shown.
Bullish Pin Bar Setting : Using the "Ratio Lower Shadow to Body" and "Ratio Lower Shadow to Higher Shadow" settings, you can customize your bullish Pin bar candles. Larger numbers impose stricter conditions for identifying bullish Pin bars.
Bearish Pin Bar Setting : Using the "Ratio Higher Shadow to Body" and "Ratio Higher Shadow to Lower Shadow" settings, you can customize your bearish Pin bar candles. Larger numbers impose stricter conditions for identifying bearish Pin bars.
🔵 Conclusion
Precision Swing Point (PSP) is a powerful analytical tool in Smart Money trading strategies, helping traders identify precise market turning points by detecting divergences in candle closures between correlated assets. PSP is classified into Bullish PSP and Bearish PSP, each playing a crucial role in detecting trend weaknesses and determining optimal entry points for long and short trades.
Using the PSP wick as a key liquidity level, integrating it with SMT, Order Blocks, and Fair Value Gaps, and analyzing higher timeframes are effective techniques to enhance trade entries. Ultimately, PSP serves as a complementary tool for improving entry accuracy and reducing unnecessary stop-outs, making it a valuable addition to Smart Money trading methodologies.

Dynamic Timeframe Trend AnalyzerPurpose and Core Logic
This indicator automatically adjusts its calculations based on the current chart’s timeframe, allowing traders to analyze trends, momentum, and mean reversion opportunities without manually changing indicator settings for each interval. It detects potential long or short setups by combining several techniques:
Dynamic Timeframe Factor
The script compares the current timeframe to a base (e.g., 5 minutes) and calculates a “factor” to scale certain parameters, such as EMA lengths or ATR settings. This reduces the need to reconfigure indicators when switching timeframes.
Regime Detection
It uses ADX (Average Directional Index) to classify the market as strongly trending, moderately trending, choppy, or in a potential mean-reversion phase.
RSI (Relative Strength Index) is also monitored for extreme levels (e.g., overbought/oversold) to detect potential reversal zones.
Volume is compared to a moving average to confirm or refute volatility conditions.
Trend & Mean Reversion Signals
EMA Alignment (8/21/55) helps identify bullish or bearish phases (strong bull if all EMAs align upward, strong bear if aligned downward).
For mean reversion opportunities, the script checks if ADX is sufficiently low (indicating weak or no trend) while price and RSI are at extreme levels—suggesting a snapback or countertrend move may occur.
Dynamic Stop Loss & Take Profit
Uses ATR (Average True Range) to set initial stop-loss (SL) and take-profit (TP) levels, then adjusts these levels further with “regime multipliers” based on whether the market is in a high-volatility trend or a quieter mean-reversion environment.
This approach aims to place stops and targets in a more adaptive way, reflecting current market conditions rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
Visual Aids
Color-coded chart backgrounds (e.g., greenish for bullish trend, red for bearish, yellow/orange for mean reversion).
Triangles to show recent bullish/bearish signals.
A status table in the top-right corner (optional) displaying key metrics like ADX, RSI, dynamic thresholds, current SL/TP levels, and whether a stop loss has been hit.
How It Works Internally
ADX & Dynamic Thresholds:
A moving average (adx_mean) and standard deviation (adx_std) of the ADX are calculated over a lookback period to define “strong” vs. “weak” ADX thresholds.
This allows the script to adapt to changing volatility and trend strength in different markets or timeframes.
Mean Reversion Criteria:
The indicator checks if price deviates significantly from its own moving average, alongside RSI extremes. If ADX suggests no strong directional push (i.e., the market is “quiet”), it may classify conditions as mean-reverting.
Regime Multipliers:
Once the script identifies the market regime (e.g., strong uptrend, choppy, mean reversion), it applies different multipliers to the user-defined base values for stop-loss and take-profit. For instance, strong trending conditions might allow for wider stops to handle volatility, while mean reversion signals use tighter exits to capture quick reversals.
How to Use It
Timeframe Agnostic
Simply apply it to any timeframe (from 1-minute up to daily or weekly). The “Dynamic Timeframe Factor” will scale the indicator parameters automatically.
Look for Buy/Sell Triangles
When the script detects a valid bullish trend shift or a mean-reversion long setup, it plots a green triangle under the price bar. Conversely, it plots a red triangle above the price bar for bearish or mean-reversion short setups.
Check the Status Table
The table in the top-right corner summarizes the indicator’s current readings: ADX, RSI, volume trends, and the market regime classification.
The table also shows if a stop loss has been hit (SL Hit) and displays recommended SL/TP levels if a signal is active.
Stop Loss & Take Profit
The script plots lines for SL and TP on your chart after a new signal. These lines are automatically adjusted based on ATR, volume conditions, and ADX-derived multipliers.
Mean Reversion vs. Trend-Following
If you see a “Mean Rev” state in the table or the background turning yellow/orange, it suggests potential countertrend trades. Conversely, “STRONG BULL” or “STRONG BEAR” states favor momentum-based entries in the prevailing direction.
Originality & Benefits
Adaptive to Timeframe: Many indicators require reconfiguration when switching from short to long timeframes. This script automates that process using the “timeframe factor” logic.
Regime-Based SL/TP: Instead of fixed risk parameters, the script dynamically tunes stop and target levels depending on whether the market is trending or reverting.
Comprehensive Market View: It combines multiple factors—ADX, RSI, volume, moving averages, and volatility measurements—into a single, integrated framework that categorizes the market regime in real time.
Best Practices & Notes
Timeframes: It typically performs well on intraday timeframes (5m, 15m, 1H) but can also be used for swing trading on 4H or Daily charts.
Settings: The defaults are a good starting point, but you can adjust the base ATR multiplier or ADX lookbacks if you prefer a different balance between sensitivity and stability.
Risk Management: This indicator is not a guarantee of any specific results. Always use proper risk management (position sizing, stop-losses, and diversified strategies).
Alert Conditions: Built-in alert conditions can notify you when a new long or short signal appears, or when a stop loss is triggered.
Marubozu and Strong Candle DetectorMarubozu and Strong Candle Detector - Indicator Description
This TradingView Pine Script indicator identifies powerful price action signals by detecting two key candle types that can signal strong market momentum:
What It Detects
1. Marubozu Candles: These are candles with little to no wicks, where the body makes up almost the entire candle. Marubozu means "bald head" or "shaved head" in Japanese, referring to the absence of shadows (wicks).
o Bullish Marubozu: A green/up candle with minimal wicks, showing buyers controlled the entire session
o Bearish Marubozu: A red/down candle with minimal wicks, showing sellers dominated the session
2. Strong Candles: These are candles that are significantly larger than the recent average, suggesting exceptional momentum.
o Strong Bullish: Large green/up candles showing powerful buying pressure
o Strong Bearish: Large red/down candles showing powerful selling pressure
Trading Significance
• Bullish Marubozu/Strong Bullish Candles: Often signal the beginning of bullish trends or strong continuation of existing uptrends. These can be excellent entry points for long positions.
• Bearish Marubozu/Strong Bearish Candles: Often indicate the start of bearish trends or powerful continuation of existing downtrends. These can be good entry points for short positions or exit points for long positions.
Key Features
• Customizable Parameters: Adjust sensitivity for body ratio threshold and size comparison
• Visual Indicators: Easy-to-spot markers appear on your charts
• Information Display: Shows key metrics about the current candle
• Alert System: Set notifications for when significant candles form
How To Use This Indicator
1. For Entry Signals:
o Look for bullish Marubozu/strong bullish candles at support levels or after pullbacks
o Look for bearish Marubozu/strong bearish candles at resistance levels or after rallies
2. For Exit Signals:
o Consider taking profits on long positions when bearish Marubozu/strong bearish candles appear
o Consider taking profits on short positions when bullish Marubozu/strong bullish candles appear
3. For Trend Confirmation:
o Multiple signals in the same direction strengthen the case for a trend
This indicator works best on larger timeframes (1H, 4H, Daily) where candle formations have more significance, but can be applied to any timeframe based on your trading style.
WaveTrend Divergences, Candle Colouring and TP Signal [LuciTech]WaveTrend is a momentum-based oscillator designed to track trend strength, detect divergences, and highlight potential take-profit zones using Bollinger Bands. It provides a clear visualization of market conditions to help traders identify trend shifts and exhaustion points.
The WaveTrend Oscillator consists of a smoothed momentum line (WT Line) and a signal line, which work together to indicate trend direction and possible reversals. When the WT Line crosses above the signal line, it suggests bullish momentum, while crossing below signals bearish momentum.
Candle colouring changes dynamically based on WaveTrend crossovers. If the WT Line crosses above the signal line, candles turn bullish. If the WT Line crosses below the signal line, candles turn bearish. This provides an immediate visual cue for trend direction.
Divergence Detection identifies when price action contradicts the WaveTrend movement.
Bullish Divergence appears when price makes a lower low, but the WT Line forms a higher low, suggesting weakening bearish pressure.
Bearish Divergence appears when price makes a higher high, but the WT Line forms a lower high, indicating weakening bullish pressure.
Plus (+) Divergences are stronger signals that occur when the first pivot of the divergence happens at an extreme level—above +60 for bearish divergence or below -60 for bullish divergence. These levels suggest the market is overbought or oversold, making the divergence more significant.
Bollinger Band Signals highlight potential take-profit zones by detecting when the WT Line moves beyond its upper or lower Bollinger Band.
If the WT Line crosses above the upper band, it signals stretched bullish momentum, suggesting a possible pullback or reversal.
If the WT Line crosses below the lower band, it indicates stretched bearish momentum, warning of a potential bounce.
How It Works
The WaveTrend momentum calculation is based on an EMA-smoothed moving average to filter out noise and provide a more reliable trend indication.
The WT Line (momentum line) fluctuates based on market momentum.
The signal line smooths out the WT Line to help identify trend shifts.
When the WT Line crosses above the signal line, it suggests buying pressure, and when it crosses below, it indicates selling pressure.
Divergences are detected by comparing pivot highs and lows in price with pivot highs and lows in the WT Line.
A pivot forms when a local high or low is confirmed after a certain number of bars.
The indicator tracks whether price action and the WT Line are making opposite movements.
If a divergence occurs and the first pivot was beyond ±60, it is marked as a Plus Divergence, making it a stronger reversal signal.
Bollinger Bands are applied directly to the WT Line instead of price, identifying when the WT Line moves outside its volatility range. This helps traders recognize when momentum is overstretched and a potential reversal or retracement is likely.
Settings
Channel Length (default: 8) controls the period used to calculate the WT Line.
Average Length (default: 16) smooths the WT Line for better trend detection.
Divergences (on/off) enables or disables divergence plotting.
Candle colouring (on/off) applies or removes trend-based candle colour changes.
Bollinger Band Signals (on/off) toggles take-profit signals when the WT Line crosses the bands.
Bullish/Bearish colours allow customization of divergence and signal colours.
Interpretation
The WaveTrend Oscillator helps traders assess market momentum and trend strength.
Crossovers between the WT Line and signal line indicate potential trend reversals.
Divergences warn of weakening momentum and possible reversals, with Plus Divergences acting as stronger signals.
Bollinger Band Crosses highlight areas where momentum is overstretched, signaling potential profit-taking opportunities.

Enhanced Interval Candle with Breakout Detection and Detailed InThis indicator visualizes the last candle of a user-defined time interval (e.g., 1 hour, 4 hours, 1 day) on the current chart, providing enhanced details and breakout detection. It fetches the open, high, low, and close prices of the interval candle and draws a stylized representation of it, offset to the right of the current bar. The candle body and wicks are colored according to whether the interval candle closed bullishly (green) or bearishly (red). In addition to the candle itself, the indicator displays horizontal dotted lines representing the high, low, and midpoint of the interval candle, along with labels showing their exact values. These labels are dynamically updated as the interval candle changes. Furthermore, the script detects and visualizes breakouts of the interval candle's high or low. When the current price closes above the interval high, a green dashed line and a "Bullish Breakout" label are displayed. Conversely, when the current price closes below the interval low, a red dashed line and a "Bearish Breakout" label are shown. The breakout lines and labels are also dynamically updated. This indicator helps traders easily track the price action of a higher timeframe candle and spot potential breakouts based on that candle's range. The user can configure the time interval to suit their trading needs.
PumpC CBC EMAs + VWAPPumpC CBC EMAs + VWAP Indicator for Tradingview
Introduction
This is an indicator for the Candle By Candle (CBC) Flip strategy , based on the CBC Flip concept taught by MapleStax and inspired by the original CBC Flip indicator by AsiaRoo . The CBC Flip strategy is a simple yet effective approach to gauge if bulls or bears are in control for any given candle.
The logic behind the CBC Flip is as follows:
Bullish Flip : If the most recent candle’s close is above the previous candle’s high, bulls have taken control.
Bearish Flip : If the most recent candle’s close is below the previous candle’s low, bears are now in control.
No Flip : If neither condition is met, the previously dominant side (bulls or bears) remains in control until one of these conditions is satisfied, flipping the market sentiment—hence the name CBC Flip .
The PumpC CBC EMAs + VWAP Indicator enhances this simple strategy by adding trend confirmation filters using EMAs and VWAP , along with time-restricted signal generation and fully customizable alerts.
What Does This Indicator Do?
The PumpC CBC EMAs + VWAP Indicator helps traders identify CBC Flips to spot potential trend continuations or reversals. It combines candlestick logic , trend filters , and time-based restrictions to provide high-probability trade signals.
CBC Flip Detection
Bullish Flip : Current close is above the previous candle’s high.
Bearish Flip : Current close is below the previous candle’s low.
Strict Flips : Require a liquidity sweep for higher accuracy.
All Flips : Looser conditions that generate more frequent signals.
EMA and VWAP Trend Confirmation (Optional)
This filter ensures that long signals only trigger when the Slow EMA is above the VWAP , confirming an upward trend. For short signals, the Slow EMA must be below the VWAP.
Time-Based Filtering
The indicator allows you to set a specific trading window (e.g., 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM), helping you avoid low-volume or high-risk periods.
Visual Labels and Alerts
Labels : Arrows (▲ for long and ▼ for short) mark CBC Flip points on the chart.
Alerts : Fully customizable notifications for each signal type, based on your chosen filters.
Key Features
CBC Flip Detection : Identify potential reversals and trend continuations.

Trend Strength & Direction📌 Assumptions of the "Trend Strength & Direction" Model
This model is designed to measure both trend strength and trend direction, using a modified version of the ADX (Average Directional Index) while also identifying ranging markets. Below is a detailed breakdown of all key assumptions.
1️⃣ Using ADX as the Basis for Trend Strength
Why ADX?
The ADX (Average Directional Index) is one of the most commonly used indicators for measuring trend strength, regardless of direction.
How is it calculated?
ATR (Average True Range) is used to normalize volatility.
Directional movement (+DM and -DM) is smoothed with an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) to obtain the +DI (Positive Directional Indicator) and -DI (Negative Directional Indicator).
Trend strength is derived by normalizing the absolute difference between +DI and -DI, divided by the sum of both.
🔹 Assumption: A high ADX means the trend is strong (whether bullish or bearish).
2️⃣ 50-Period Moving Average for Trend Strength
Why add a moving average?
ADX can be very volatile in the short term.
A 50-period SMA (Simple Moving Average) is used to smooth out trend strength and identify sustained trends.
🔹 Assumption: The SMA reduces false signals caused by short-term ADX spikes.
3️⃣ Identifying a Ranging Market (ADX Below 35)
How is a ranging market defined?
If the trend strength (ADX) is below 35, the market is considered "ranging".
The 35-level threshold is chosen empirically since ADX values below this level often indicate a lack of strong price direction.
When the market is ranging, the background color turns yellow.
🔹 Assumption: ADX < 35 indicates a sideways market, so the indicator colors the background yellow.
4️⃣ Determining Trend Direction Using +DI and -DI
How is direction determined?
If +DI > -DI, the trend is bullish (green).
If -DI > +DI, the trend is bearish (red).
If ADX is below 35, the market is ranging and turns yellow.
🔹 Assumption: Trend direction is determined by the relationship between +DI and -DI, not ADX values.
5️⃣ Background Color to Highlight Market Conditions
Yellow background if ADX < 35 → Ranging market.
Green background if ADX ≥ 35 and bullish.
Red background if ADX ≥ 35 and bearish.
🔹 Assumption: The background color visually differentiates trending vs. ranging phases.
6️⃣ Reference Levels for ADX
Lateral Threshold (35) → Below this, the trend is weak or ranging.
Neutral Threshold (50) → Intermediate level indicating moderate trend strength.
Strong Trend Threshold (75) → Above this, the trend is very strong and possibly overextended.
🔹 Assumption: ADX above 75 indicates a very strong trend, potentially near exhaustion.
🔹 Summary of Key Assumptions
1️⃣ ADX is the core strength metric → Strong trends when ADX > 35, weak below 35.
2️⃣ The 50-period SMA smooths out volatility → Prevents false signals.
3️⃣ Ranging markets are defined as ADX < 35 → Yellow background color.
4️⃣ Trend direction is based on +DI vs. -DI → Green = bullish, Red = bearish.
5️⃣ Background colors enhance readability → Helps distinguish different market phases.
6️⃣ ADX reference levels (35, 50, 75) indicate increasing trend strength.
Conclusion
This model combines ADX with a moving average and color-based logic to highlight trend strength, trend direction, and sideways markets. It helps traders quickly identify the best conditions for entering or exiting trades. 🚀

Johnny's Machine Learning Moving Average (MLMA) w/ Trend Alerts📖 Overview
Johnny's Machine Learning Moving Average (MLMA) w/ Trend Alerts is a powerful adaptive moving average indicator designed to capture market trends dynamically. Unlike traditional moving averages (e.g., SMA, EMA, WMA), this indicator incorporates volatility-based trend detection, Bollinger Bands, ADX, and RSI, offering a comprehensive view of market conditions.
The MLMA is "machine learning-inspired" because it adapts dynamically to market conditions using ATR-based windowing and integrates multiple trend strength indicators (ADX, RSI, and volatility bands) to provide an intelligent moving average calculation that learns from recent price action rather than being static.
🛠 How It Works
1️⃣ Adaptive Moving Average Selection
The MLMA automatically selects one of four different moving averages:
📊 EMA (Exponential Moving Average) – Reacts quickly to price changes.
🔵 HMA (Hull Moving Average) – Smooth and fast, reducing lag.
🟡 WMA (Weighted Moving Average) – Gives recent prices more importance.
🔴 VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) – Accounts for volume impact.
The user can select which moving average type to use, making the indicator customizable based on their strategy.
2️⃣ Dynamic Trend Detection
ATR-Based Adaptive Window 📏
The Average True Range (ATR) determines the window size dynamically.
When volatility is high, the moving average window expands, making the MLMA more stable.
When volatility is low, the window shrinks, making the MLMA more responsive.
Trend Strength Filters 📊
ADX (Average Directional Index) > 25 → Indicates a strong trend.
RSI (Relative Strength Index) > 70 or < 30 → Identifies overbought/oversold conditions.
Price Position Relative to Upper/Lower Bands → Determines bullish vs. bearish momentum.
3️⃣ Volatility Bands & Dynamic Support/Resistance
Bollinger Bands (BB) 📉
Uses standard deviation-based bands around the MLMA to detect overbought and oversold zones.
Upper Band = Resistance, Lower Band = Support.
Helps traders identify breakout potential.
Adaptive Trend Bands 🔵🔴
The MLMA has built-in trend envelopes.
When price breaks the upper band, bullish momentum is confirmed.
When price breaks the lower band, bearish momentum is confirmed.
4️⃣ Visual Enhancements
Dynamic Gradient Fills 🌈
The trend strength (ADX-based) determines the gradient intensity.
Stronger trends = More vivid colors.
Weaker trends = Lighter colors.
Trend Reversal Arrows 🔄
🔼 Green Up Arrow: Bullish reversal signal.
🔽 Red Down Arrow: Bearish reversal signal.

Multi-Timeframe Stochastic OverviewPurpose of the Multi-Timeframe Stochastic Indicator:
The Multi-Timeframe Stochastic Indicator provides a consolidated view of market conditions across multiple timeframes (M1, M5, M15, H1) based on the Stochastic Oscillator, a popular technical analysis tool. The main objective is to allow traders to quickly assess momentum and potential trend reversals across different timeframes on a single chart, helping to make informed trading decisions.
---
General Purpose of Stochastic Oscillator:
The Stochastic Oscillator measures the relationship between a security's closing price and its price range over a given period, aiming to identify momentum, overbought/oversold levels, and potential reversal points. It works on the assumption that:
1. In uptrends, prices tend to close near their highs.
2. In downtrends, prices tend to close near their lows.
It consists of two lines:
%K (fast line): Represents the raw Stochastic value.
%D (slow line): A moving average of %K, used to smooth the data for better signals.
The indicator is generally used to:
Identify Overbought (price above 80% threshold) and Oversold (price below 20% threshold) conditions.
Spot Bullish and Bearish divergences for potential trend reversals.
Evaluate momentum strength within a trend.
---
How This Multi-Timeframe Indicator Enhances Stochastic's Utility:
1. Multi-Timeframe Overview:
The indicator calculates Stochastic values for multiple timeframes (1-minute, 5-minute, 15-minute, and 1-hour) and displays their market conditions (e.g., Bullish, Bearish, Overbought, Oversold, or Indecision) in an organized table format.
This gives traders a broad perspective on short-term, mid-term, and long-term trends simultaneously.
2. Market Condition Summary:
Bullish: Indicates upward momentum (both %K and %D > 50%).
Bearish: Indicates downward momentum (both %K and %D < 50%).
Overbought: Suggests potential trend exhaustion (both %K and %D > 80%).
Oversold: Suggests a potential reversal to the upside (both %K and %D < 20%).
Indecision: Highlights uncertainty when %K and %D are on opposite sides of the 50% level.
3. Quick Decision-Making:
The color-coded table (green for Bullish/Overbought, red for Bearish/Oversold, orange for Indecision) allows traders to quickly identify dominant conditions and momentum alignment across timeframes, helping in trade confirmation.
4. Trend Analysis:
By observing alignment or divergence in market conditions across timeframes, traders can gauge the strength of a trend or anticipate reversals. For example:
If all timeframes show "Bullish," it suggests strong momentum.
If smaller timeframes are "Overbought" while larger ones are "Bearish," it warns of a possible pullback.
5. Customizable Parameters:
The indicator allows customization of Stochastic K, D, smoothing values, and overbought/oversold levels, enabling users to tailor the analysis to specific trading styles or market conditions.
---
Use Cases:
1. Scalping:
A scalper can use lower timeframes (e.g., M1, M5) to find overbought/oversold zones for quick trades.
2. Swing Trading:
Swing traders can align smaller timeframes with higher ones (e.g., M15 and H1) to confirm momentum before entering a trade.
3. Trend Reversals:
Overbought or oversold conditions across all timeframes may indicate a major reversal point, helping traders plan exits or countertrend entries.
4. Trend Continuation:
Consistent bullish or bearish conditions across all timeframes confirm the continuation of a trend, providing confidence to hold positions.
---
Summary:
This indicator enhances the traditional Stochastic Oscillator by giving a multi-timeframe snapshot of market momentum, overbought/oversold conditions, and trend direction. It enables traders to quickly assess the overall market state, spot opportunities, and make more informed trading decisions.
Uptrick Signal Density Cloud🟪 Introduction
The Uptrick Signal Density Cloud is designed to track market direction and highlight potential reversals or shifts in momentum. It plots two smoothed lines on the chart and fills the space between them (often called a “cloud”). The bars on the chart change color depending on bullish or bearish conditions, and small triangles appear when certain reversal criteria are met. A metrics table displays real-time values for easy reference.
🟩 Why These Features Have Been Linked Together
1) Dual-Line Structure
Two separate lines represent shorter- and longer-term market tendencies. Linking them in one tool allows traders to view both near-term changes and the broader directional bias in a single glance.
2) Smoothed Averages
The script offers multiple smoothing methods—exponential, simple, hull, and an optimized approach—to reduce noise. Using more than one type of moving average can help balance responsiveness with stability.
3) Density Cloud Concept
Shading the region between the two lines highlights the gap or “thickness.” A wider gap typically signals stronger momentum, while a narrower gap could indicate a weakening trend or potential market indecision. When the cloud is too wide and crosses a certain threshold defined by the user, it indicates a possible reversal. When the cloud is too narrow it may indicate a potential breakout.
🟪 Why Use This Indicator
• Trend Visibility: The color-coded lines and bars make it easier to distinguish bullish from bearish conditions.
• Momentum Tracking: Thicker cloud regions suggest stronger separation between the faster and slower lines, potentially indicating robust momentum.
• Possible Reversal Alerts: Small triangles appear within thick zones when the indicator detects a crossover, drawing attention to key moments of potential trend change.
• Quick Reference Table: A metrics table shows line values, bullish or bearish status, and cloud thickness without needing to hover over chart elements.
🟩 Inputs
1) First Smoothing Length (length1)
Default: 14
Defines the lookback period for the faster line. Lower values make the line respond more quickly to price changes.
2) Second Smoothing Length (length2)
Default: 28
Defines the lookback period for the slower line or one of the moving averages in optimized mode. It generally responds more slowly than the faster line.
3) Extra Smoothing Length (extraLength)
Default: 50
A medium-term period commonly seen in technical analysis. In optimized mode, it helps add broader perspective to the combined lines.
4) Source (source)
Default: close
Specifies the price data (for example, open, high, low, or a custom source) used in the calculations.
5) Cloud Type (cloudType)
Options: Optimized, EMA, SMA, HMA
Determines the smoothing method used for the lines. “Optimized” blends multiple exponential averages at different lengths.
6) Cloud Thickness Threshold (thicknessThreshold)
Default: 0.5
Sets the minimum separation between the two lines to qualify as a “thick” zone, indicating potentially stronger momentum.
🟪 Core Components
1) Faster and Slower Lines
Each line is smoothed according to user preferences or the optimized technique. The faster line typically reacts more quickly, while the slower line provides a broader overview.
2) Filled Density Cloud
The space between the two lines is filled to visualize in which direction the market is trending.
3) Color-Coded Bars
Price bars adopt bullish or bearish colors based on which line is on top, providing an immediate sense of trend direction.
4) Reversal Triangles
When the cloud is thick (exceeding the threshold) and the lines cross in the opposite direction, small triangles appear, signaling a possible market shift.
5) Metrics Table
A compact table shows the current values of both lines, their bullish/bearish statuses, the cloud thickness, and whether the cloud is in a “reversal zone.”
🟩 Calculation Process
1) Raw Averages
Depending on the mode, standard exponential, simple, hull, or “optimized” exponential blends are calculated.
2) Optimized Averages (if selected)
The faster line is the average of three exponential moving averages using length1, length2, and extraLength.
The slower line similarly uses those same lengths multiplied by 1.5, then averages them together for broader smoothing.
3) Difference and Threshold
The absolute gap between the two lines is measured. When it exceeds thicknessThreshold, the cloud is considered thick.
4) Bullish or Bearish Determination
If sma1 (the faster line) is above sma2 (the slower line), conditions are deemed bullish; otherwise, they are bearish. This distinction is reflected in both bar colors and cloud shading.
5) Reversal Markers
In thick zones, a crossover triggers a triangle at the point of potential reversal, alerting traders to a possible trend change.
🟪 Smoothing Methods
1) Exponential (EMA)
Prioritizes recent data for quicker responsiveness.
2) Simple (SMA)
Takes a straightforward average of the chosen period, smoothing price action but often lagging more in volatile markets.
3) Hull (HMA)
Employs a specialized formula to reduce lag while maintaining smoothness.
4) Optimized (Blended Exponential)
Combines multiple EMA calculations to strike a balance between responsiveness and noise reduction.
🟩 Cloud Logic and Reversal Zones
Cloud thickness above the defined threshold typically signals exceeding momentum and can lead to a quick reversal. During these thick periods, if the width exceeds the defined threshold, small triangles mark potential reversal points. In order for the reversal shape to show, the color of the cloud has to be the opposite. So, for example, if the cloud is bearish, and exceeds momentum, defined by the user, a bullish signal appears. The opposite conditions for a bullish signal. This approach can help traders focus on notable changes rather than minor oscillations.
🟪 Bar Coloring and Layered Lines
Bars take on bullish or bearish tints, matching the faster line’s position relative to the slower line. The lines themselves are plotted multiple times with varying opacities, creating a layered, glowing look that enhances visibility without affecting calculations.
🟩 The Metrics Table
Located in the top-right corner of the chart, this table displays:
• SMA1 and SMA2 current values.
• Bullish or bearish alignment for each line.
• Cloud thickness.
• Reversal zone status (in or out of zone).
This numeric readout allows for a quick data check without hovering over the chart.
🟪 Why These Specific Moving Average Lengths Are Used
Default lengths of 14, 28, and 50 are common in technical analysis. Fourteen captures near-term price movement without overreacting. Twenty-eight, roughly double 14, provides a moderate smoothing level. Fifty is widely regarded as a medium-term benchmark. Multiplying each length by 1.5 for the slower line enhances separation when combined with the faster line.
🟩 Originality and Usefulness
• Multi-Layered Smoothing. The user can select from several moving average modes, including a unique “optimized” blend, possibly reducing random fluctuations in the market data.
• Combined Visual and Numeric Clarity. Bars, clouds, and a real-time table merge into a single interface, enabling efficient trend analysis.
• Focus on Significant Shifts. Thick cloud zones and triangles draw attention to potentially stronger momentum changes and plausible reversals.
• Flexible Across Markets. The adjustable lengths and threshold can be tuned to different asset classes (stocks, forex, commodities, crypto) and timeframes.
By integrating multiple technical concepts—cloud-based trend detection, color coding, reversal markers, and an immediate reference table—the Uptrick Signal Density Cloud aims to streamline chart reading and decision-making.
🟪 Additional Considerations
• Timeframes. Intraday, daily, and weekly charts each yield different signals. Adjust the smoothing lengths and threshold to suit specific trading horizons.
• Market Types. Though applicable across asset classes, parameters might need tweaking to address the volatility of commodities, forex pairs, or cryptocurrencies.
• Confirmation Tools. Pairing this indicator with volume studies or support/resistance analysis can improve the reliability of signals.
• Potential Limitations. No indicator is foolproof; sudden market shifts or choppy conditions may reduce accuracy. Cautious position sizing and risk management remain essential.
🟩 Disclaimers
The Uptrick Signal Density Cloud relies on historical price data and may lag sudden moves or provide false positives in ranging conditions. Always combine it with other analytical techniques and sound risk management. This script is offered for educational purposes only and should not be considered financial advice.
🟪 Conclusion
The Uptrick Signal Density Cloud blends trend identification, momentum assessment, and potential reversal alerts in a single, user-friendly tool. With customizable smoothing methods and a focus on cloud thickness, it visually highlights important market conditions. While it cannot guarantee predictive accuracy, it can serve as a comprehensive reference for traders seeking both a quick snapshot of the current trend and deeper insights into market dynamics.
PDF-MA Supertrend [BackQuant]PDF-MA Supertrend
The PDF-MA Supertrend combines the innovative Probability Density Function (PDF) smoothing with the widely popular Supertrend methodology, creating a robust tool for identifying trends and generating actionable trading signals. This indicator is designed to provide precise entries and exits by dynamically adapting to market volatility while visualizing long and short opportunities directly on the chart.
Core Feature: PDF Smoothing
At the foundation of this indicator is the PDF smoothing technique, which applies a Probability Density Function to calculate a smoothed moving average. This method allows the indicator to assign adaptive weights to data points, making it responsive to market changes without overreacting to short-term volatility.
Key parameters include:
Variance: Controls the spread of the PDF weighting. A smaller variance results in sharper responses, while a larger variance smooths out the curve.
Mean: Shifts the PDF’s center, allowing traders to tweak how weights are distributed around the data points.
Smoothing Method: Offers the choice between EMA (Exponential Moving Average) and SMA (Simple Moving Average) for blending the PDF-smoothed data with traditional moving average methods.
By combining these parameters, the PDF smoothing creates a moving average that effectively captures underlying trends.
Supertrend: Adaptive Trend and Volatility Tracking
The Supertrend is a well-known volatility-based indicator that dynamically adjusts to market conditions using the ATR (Average True Range). In this script, the PDF-smoothed moving average acts as the price input, making the Supertrend calculation more adaptive and precise.
Key Supertrend Features:
ATR Period: Determines the lookback period for calculating market volatility.
Factor: Multiplies the ATR to set the distance between the Supertrend and the price. A higher factor creates wider bands, filtering out smaller price movements, while a lower factor captures tighter trends.
Dynamic Direction: The Supertrend flips its direction based on price interactions with the calculated upper and lower bands:
Uptrend : When the price is above the Supertrend, the direction turns bullish.
Downtrend : When the price is below the Supertrend, the direction turns bearish.
This combination of PDF smoothing and Supertrend calculation ensures that trends are detected with greater accuracy, while volatility filters out market noise.
Long and Short Signal Generation
The PDF-MA Supertrend generates actionable trading signals by detecting transitions in the trend direction:
Long Signal (𝕃): Triggered when the trend transitions from bearish to bullish. This is visually represented with a green triangle below the price bars.
Short Signal (𝕊): Triggered when the trend transitions from bullish to bearish. This is marked with a red triangle above the price bars.
These signals provide traders with clear entry and exit points, ensuring they can capitalize on emerging trends while avoiding false signals.
Customizable Visualization Options
The indicator offers a range of visualization settings to help traders interpret the data with ease:
Show Supertrend: Option to toggle the visibility of the Supertrend line.
Candle Coloring: Automatically colors candlesticks based on the trend direction:
Green for long trends.
Red for short trends.
Long and Short Signals (𝕃 + 𝕊): Displays long (𝕃) and short (𝕊) signals directly on the chart for quick identification of trade opportunities.
Line Color Customization: Allows users to customize the colors for long and short trends.
Alert Conditions
To ensure traders never miss an opportunity, the PDF-MA Supertrend includes built-in alerts for trend changes:
Long Signal Alert: Notifies when a bullish trend is identified.
Short Signal Alert: Notifies when a bearish trend is identified.
These alerts can be configured for real-time notifications via SMS, email, or push notifications, making it easier to stay updated on market movements.
Suggested Parameter Adjustments
The indicator’s effectiveness can be fine-tuned using the following guidelines:
Variance:
For low-volatility assets (e.g., indices): Use a smaller variance (1.0–1.5) for smoother trends.
For high-volatility assets (e.g., cryptocurrencies): Use a larger variance (1.5–2.0) to better capture rapid price changes.
ATR Factor:
A higher factor (e.g., 2.0) is better suited for long-term trend-following strategies.
A lower factor (e.g., 1.5) captures shorter-term trends.
Smoothing Period:
Shorter periods provide more reactive signals but may increase noise.
Longer periods offer stability and better alignment with significant trends.
Experimentation is encouraged to find the optimal settings for specific assets and trading strategies.
Trading Applications
The PDF-MA Supertrend is a versatile indicator suited to a variety of trading approaches:
Trend Following : Use the Supertrend line and signals to follow market trends and ride sustained price movements.
Reversal Trading : Spot potential trend reversals as the Supertrend flips direction.
Volatility Analysis : Adjust the ATR factor to filter out minor price fluctuations or capture sharp movements.
Final Thoughts
The PDF-MA Supertrend combines the precision of Probability Density Function smoothing with the adaptability of the Supertrend methodology, offering traders a powerful tool for identifying trends and volatility.

Codi's Perp-Spot Basis# Perp-Spot Basis Indicator
This indicator calculates the percentage basis between perpetual futures and spot prices for crypto assets. It is inspired by the original concept from **Krugermacro**, with the added improvement of **automatic detection of the asset pairs** based on the current chart symbol. This enhancement makes it faster and easier to apply across different assets without manual configuration.
## How It Works
The indicator compares the perpetual futures price (e.g., `BTCUSDT.P`) to the spot price (e.g., `BTCUSDT`) on Binance. The difference is expressed as a percentage: (Perp - Spot) / Spot * 100
The results are displayed in a color-coded graph:
- **Blue (Positive Basis):** Perpetual futures are trading at a premium, indicating **bullish sentiment** among derivatives traders.
- **Red (Negative Basis):** Perpetual futures are trading at a discount, indicating **bearish sentiment** among derivatives traders.
This percentage basis is a core component in understanding funding rates and derivatives market dynamics. It serves as a faster proxy for funding rates, which typically lag behind real-time price movements.
---
## How to Use It
### General Concept
- **Red (Negative Basis):** Ideal to execute **longs** when derivatives traders are overly bearish.
- **Blue (Positive Basis):** Ideal to execute **shorts** when derivatives traders are overly bullish.
### Pullback Sniping
1. During an **uptrend**:
- If the basis turns **red** temporarily, it can signal an opportunity to **buy the dip**.
2. During a **downtrend**:
- If the basis turns **blue** temporarily, it can signal an opportunity to **sell the rip**.
3. Wait for the basis to **pop back** (higher in uptrend, lower in downtrend) to time entries more effectively—this often coincides with **stop runs** or **liquidations**.
### Intraday Execution
- **When price is falling**:
- If the basis is **red**, the move is derivatives-led (**normal**).
- If the basis is **blue**, spot traders are leading, and perps are offside—wait for **price dumps** before longing.
- **When price is rising**:
- If the basis is **blue**, the move is derivatives-led (**normal**).
- If the basis is **red**, spot traders are leading, and perps are offside—wait for **price pops** before shorting.
### Larger Time Frames
- **Consistently Blue Basis:** Indicates a **bull market** as derivatives traders are bullish over the long term.
- **Consistently Red Basis:** Indicates a **bear market** as derivatives traders are bearish over the long term.
---
## Improvements Over the Original
This version of the Perp-Spot Basis indicator **automatically detects the Binance perpetual futures and spot pairs** based on the current chart symbol. For example:
- If you are viewing `ETHUSDT`, it automatically references `ETHUSDT.P` for the perpetual futures pair and `ETHUSDT` for the spot pair in BINANCE.
Green/Red Candle Probability (EMA 7, SMA 20, SMA 200)### Strategy Explanation for Candle Probability Indicator

- **Bearish:** When EMA 7 < SMA 20 < SMA 200
2. **Candle Analysis:**
The script analyzes the last "n" candles (based on the user-defined lookback period) to count the number of bullish and bearish candles:
- **Bullish (green) candle:** The closing price is higher than the opening price.
- **Bearish (red) candle:** The closing price is lower than the opening price.
3. **Probability Calculation:**
The probabilities are calculated as a percentage of bullish and bearish candles in the lookback period:
- **Green Probability (%) = (Number of Green Candles / Lookback Period) × 100**
- **Red Probability (%) = (Number of Red Candles / Lookback Period) × 100**
4. **Displaying Results in a Table:**
The results are displayed in a table on the chart, including:
- **Green Probability (%)**
- **Red Probability (%)**
- **Current Trend (Bullish, Bearish, or Neutral)**
#### **Strategy Overview:**
This indicator provides traders with a quick overview of the candle probabilities and the current market trend based on moving averages. It helps traders:
- Gauge the likelihood of bullish or bearish candles appearing in the near future.
- Identify the prevailing trend (bullish, bearish, or neutral).
- Adjust their trading strategies based on statistical probabilities rather than assumptions.
### **Important Notes:**
- The lookback period can be customized between **10 and 200 periods**.
- The indicator does not provide buy/sell signals but gives insights into market behavior.
By understanding the candle probabilities and the trend, traders can better assess market conditions and improve their decision-making process.

Multi SMA EMA VWAP1. Moving Average Crossover
This is one of the most common strategies with moving averages, and it involves observing crossovers between EMAs and SMAs to determine buy or sell signals.
Buy signal: When a faster EMA (like a short-term EMA) crosses above a slower SMA, it can indicate a potential upward movement.
Sell signal: When a faster EMA crosses below a slower SMA, it can indicate a potential downward movement.
With 4 EMAs and 5 SMAs, you can set up crossovers between different combinations, such as:
EMA(9) crosses above SMA(50) → buy.
EMA(9) crosses below SMA(50) → sell.
2. Divergence Confirmation Between EMAs and SMAs
Divergence between the EMAs and SMAs can offer additional confirmation. If the EMAs are pointing in one direction and the SMAs are still in the opposite direction, it is a sign that the movement could be stronger and continue in the same direction.
Positive divergence: If the EMAs are making new highs while the SMAs are still below, it could be a sign that the market is in a strong trend.
Negative divergence: If the EMAs are making new lows and the SMAs are still above, you might consider that the market is in a downtrend or correction.
3. Using EMAs as Dynamic Support and Resistance
EMAs can act as dynamic support and resistance in strong trends. If the price approaches a faster EMA from above and doesn’t break it, it could be a good entry point for a long position (buy). If the price approaches a slower EMA from below and doesn't break it, it could be a good point to sell (short).
Buy: If the price is above all EMAs and approaches the fastest EMA (e.g., EMA(9)), it could be a good buy point if the price bounces upward.
Sell: If the price is below all EMAs and approaches the fastest EMA, it could be a good sell point if the price bounces downward.
4. Combining SMAs and EMAs to Filter Signals
SMAs can serve as a trend filter to avoid trading in sideways markets. For example:
Bullish trend condition: If the longer-term SMAs (such as SMA(100) or SMA(200)) are below the price, and the shorter EMAs are aligned upward, you can look for buy signals.
Bearish trend condition: If the longer-term SMAs are above the price and the shorter EMAs are aligned downward, you can look for sell signals.
5. Consolidation Zone Between EMAs and SMAs
When the price moves between EMAs and SMAs without a clear trend (consolidation zone), you can expect a breakout. In this case, you can use the EMAs and SMAs to identify the direction of the breakout:
If the price is in a narrow range between the EMAs and SMAs and then breaks above the fastest EMA, it’s a sign that an upward trend may begin.
If the price breaks below the fastest EMA, it could indicate a potential downward trend.
6. "Golden Cross" and "Death Cross" Strategy
These are classic strategies based on crossovers between moving averages of different periods.
Golden Cross: Occurs when a faster EMA (e.g., EMA(50)) crosses above a slower SMA (e.g., SMA(200)), which suggests a potential bullish trend.
Death Cross: Occurs when a faster EMA crosses below a slower SMA, which suggests a potential bearish trend.
Additional Recommendations:
Combining with other indicators: You can combine EMA and SMA signals with other indicators like the RSI (Relative Strength Index) or MACD (Moving Average Convergence/Divergence) for confirmation and to avoid false signals.
Risk management: Always use stop-loss and take-profit orders to protect your capital. Moving averages are trend-following indicators but don’t guarantee that the price will move in the same direction.
Timeframe analysis: It’s recommended to use different timeframes to confirm the trend (e.g., use EMAs on hourly charts along with SMAs on daily charts).
VWAP
1. VWAP + EMAs for Trend Confirmation
VWAP can act as a trend filter, confirming the direction provided by the EMAs.
Buy Signal: If the price is above the VWAP and the EMAs are aligned in an uptrend (e.g., short-term EMAs are above longer-term EMAs), this indicates that the trend is bullish and you can look for buy opportunities.
Sell Signal: If the price is below the VWAP and the EMAs are aligned in a downtrend (e.g., short-term EMAs are below longer-term EMAs), this suggests a bearish trend and you can look for sell opportunities.
In this case, VWAP is used to confirm the overall trend. For example:
Bullish: Price above VWAP, EMAs aligned to the upside (e.g., EMA(9) > EMA(50) > EMA(200)), buy.
Bearish: Price below VWAP, EMAs aligned to the downside (e.g., EMA(9) < EMA(50) < EMA(200)), sell.
2. VWAP as Dynamic Support and Resistance
VWAP can act as a dynamic support or resistance level during the day. Combining this with EMAs and SMAs helps you refine your entry and exit points.
Support: If the price is above VWAP and starts pulling back to VWAP, it could act as support. If the price bounces off the VWAP and aligns with bullish EMAs (e.g., EMA(9) crossing above EMA(50)), you can consider entering a buy position.
Resistance: If the price is below VWAP and approaches VWAP from below, it can act as resistance. If the price fails to break through VWAP and aligns with bearish EMAs (e.g., EMA(9) crossing below EMA(50)), it could be a good signal for a sell.

Trend Strength/DirectionThis is a really good, though complex indicator, so I will add two different explanations so to appease both the laymen and those who take the time to read thoroughly.
Simple Explanation
This indicator utilizes 6HMA's to display their angles
The greater the angle ---> the stronger the trend
If more angles are positive, then trend is very strong
If more are negative, then very negative
Comprehensive Explanation
6 angles, each of a different time frame are used to represent direction and trend strength. Angles are used because they intrinsically represent momentum and speed. An angle of 45 represents a perfect balance between something that can cover the furthest distance without compensating for speed. 1 of the 6 angles is intended(though customizable) to represent the 5 hma's angle. This is because the 5hma is very good at representing very near term price action.
Angle Levels
Its important to understand what the angle levels mean for the underlying hma's. The 0 level represents a hma that is horizontal. This is important because this is the point at which it decides to be bullish or bearish. +/- 45, as noted before, represent bullishness/bearishness that represent strong trends without compensating for speed. A continuous increase/decrease and or a cross of these levels generally indicate significant change in sentiment, of which trades may be taken.
Strategy
You should weigh your decision by those angles that represent the longer time frame. If more angles represent a certain sentiment, it is obviously unwise to fight against that long term sentiment. The purpose of this indicator was to provide a proper representation of trend direction and strength, but also solve the problem of when you should 'dip' buy.
For an example: if all angles are increase or decreasing, then you may use the 5hma's angle to find the proper points at which you will enter a position.
***NOTE: I dont think the +/- 45 bands should indicate 'overbought' or 'oversold' zones that some might assume. Instead you should wait for a crossing of this zone.
