Days Higher Than Current PriceThe "Days Higher Than Current Price" indicator is a color-coded tool that provides insights into the historical price performance of an underlying asset. By analyzing the number of bars prior to the selected day that had higher closing prices, this indicator visually represents the comparative strength or weakness of the current price level.
The "Days Higher" indicator utilizes a color-coded scheme to indicate the number of days in the asset's price history where the closing prices were higher than the current day's price. The color spectrum ranges from red to blue, representing varying levels of historical price strength.
Color Coding:
The color coding scheme of the indicator offers a quick and intuitive understanding of the price performance:
Red: Represents a higher number of days in the asset's price history where the closing prices were higher than the current day's price. This suggests a weaker price trend or a potential reversal and indicates relative price weakness.
Blue: Represents a lower number of days in the asset's price history where the closing prices were higher than the current day's price. This indicates a strong trend of higher prices and suggests relative price strength.
Orange & Green: Correspond to different numbers of days where the closing prices were higher than the current day's price. The specific color gradations between red and blue reflect increasing or decreasing historical price strength.
Methodology:
The "Days Higher" indicator examines each bar in the asset's price history leading up to the selected day. It counts the number of bars where the closing prices were higher than the current day's price.
The indicator then assigns a specific color to the price chart based on the count of such days, providing a visual representation of historical price strength relative to the current price level.
Utility:
The "Days Higher" indicator offers traders and investors a unique perspective on the historical price performance of an asset. By assessing the color-coded chart, market participants can quickly gauge the presence of strong or weak historical price trends.
This information can be used to identify potential support or resistance levels, assess the overall strength of a trend, or evaluate the likelihood of a price reversal. Traders may incorporate this indicator into their analysis to make more informed trading decisions based on the historical price strength indicated by the color-coded chart.
It is important to note that this tool should be used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and indicators to validate signals and make well-rounded trading decisions.

Farzan Paid CaliburnFarzan Paid Caliburn is used to identify trends and smoothen out price fluctuations. It was derived from the candlestick charting techniques, and it is based on open, high, low and close prices from the previous session
The Farzan Paid Caliburn indicator is plotted as a candlestick chart with a series of Blue and Black candles. The Blue candles indicate an uptrend while Black candles indicate a downtrend.
The Farzan Paid Caliburn indicator is a trend-following indicator that helps traders identify the direction of the current market trend.
To use this Farzan Paid Caliburn indicator you need to follow these steps :-
*1.Open the chart of a particular stock you want to trade.
*2.Fix the time interval of 10 minutes for the intraday trading. For that, you can use Tradingview charts.
*3.Insert the Farzan Paid Caliburn as your indicator.
The Farzan Paid Caliburn is shown under the main chart and their plots indicate the current trend. Farzan Paid Caliburn indicator can be used with varying periods (daily, weekly, intraday etc.) and on varying instruments (stocks, futures or forex) .
My personal preference is to use the Indicator on Weekly chart for best result.
Trend Line Trendlines are easily recognizable lines that traders draw on charts to connect a series of prices together or show some data's best fit. The resulting line is then used to give the trader a good idea of the direction in which an investment's value might move.
A trendline is a line drawn over pivot highs or under pivot lows to show the prevailing direction of price. Trendlines are a visual representation of support and resistance in any time frame. They show direction and speed of price, and also describe patterns during periods of price contraction.
Key Takeaways
Trendlines indicate the best fit of some data using a single line.
A single trendline can be applied to a chart to give a clearer picture of the trend.
The time period being analyzed and the exact points used to create a trendline vary from trader to trader.
The trendline is among the most important tools used by technical analysts. Instead of looking at past business performance or other fundamentals, technical analysts look for trends in price action. A trendline helps technical analysts determine the current direction in market prices. Technical analysts believe the trend is your friend, and identifying this trend is the first step in the process of making a good trade.
To create a trendline, an analyst must have at least two points on a price chart. Some analysts like to use different time frames such as one minute or five minutes. Others look at daily charts or weekly charts. Some analysts put aside time altogether, choosing to view trends based on tick intervals rather than intervals of time. What makes trendlines so universal in usage and appeal is they can be used to help identify trends regardless of the time period, time frame or interval used.
Visible Fibonacci█ OVERVIEW
This indicator displays Fibonacci retracement and extension levels on the price chart using data within the chart's visible range, providing traders with an automated alternative to our well-known drawing tool .
█ CONCEPTS
Fibonacci sequence and the Golden ratio
The Fibonacci sequence is a sequence of numbers where each term is the sum of the previous two terms. In his book Liber Abaci , Fibonacci used this sequence to estimate the growth of rabbit populations. Although most commonly associated with Fibonacci, this numeric sequence appeared in Indian mathematics as early as 200 BC. As this sequence approaches infinity, the ratio of the last element to the preceding approaches the Golden ratio (1.618033...), a well-known metallic ratio theoretically observed in many natural and synthetic systems. Many traders believe that the Fibonacci sequence and the Golden ratio carry significance in the financial markets.
Fibonacci retracements and extensions
Fibonacci retracements and extensions are extremely popular in technical analysis. They are created by connecting two extreme points, typically pivot points, by a trend line and multiplying the range between them by the ratios of steps in the Fibonacci sequence, or more precisely, powers of the Golden Ratio, to produce estimated levels of support and resistance. The ratios used for retracement multipliers are typically the Golden ratio raised to the power of 0, -0.5, -1, -2, and -3, or 1, 0.786, 0.618, 0.382, and 0.236, respectively. It is also common to see traders use a retracement ratio of 0.5. The ratios used for extension multipliers are typically the Golden ratio raised to the power of 0.5, 1, 2, and 3, or 1.272, 1.618, 2.618, and 4.236, respectively. Traders often combine these retracement and extension ratios with others they deem significant for a more personalized output.
Zig Zag
Zig Zag is a popular indicator that filters out minor price fluctuations to denoise data and emphasize trends. Traders commonly use Zig Zag for trend confirmation, identifying potential support and resistance, and pattern detection. It is formed by identifying significant local high and low points in alternating order and connecting them with straight lines, omitting all other data points from their output. There are several ways to calculate the Zig Zag's data points and the conditions by which its direction changes. This script uses the highest and lowest values over a specified length to estimate the locations of pivots. The Zig Zag reverses its direction when a new high or low emerges in the opposite direction. Additionally, enabling the "Detect additional pivots" option in the script settings will locate extra pivots when the number of bars in which no new pivot occurs exceeds the Zig Zag length.
Visible Fibonacci
This script uses the chart's visible bars to calculate and display an automated Fibonacci retracement tool with extreme points based on either of two calculation methods:
• Visible Chart Range: This method uses the highest and lowest points from the visible chart range for Fibonacci level calculation.
• Visible Zig Zag: This method uses historical pivots from a Zig Zag indicator for level calculation. The "nth Last Pivot" input in the script settings controls how many pivots back from the last visible one will be used to calculate the Fibonacci levels.
As traders pan and zoom on their charts, the script dynamically recalculates its values explicitly using the bars within the visible range.
Note that levels drawn outside the range between the high and low points may affect the scale of the chart. To prevent this, select the "Scale price chart only" option in the chart settings.
█ FOR Pine Script™ CODERS
• This script utilizes functions from the VisibleChart library by our resident PineCoders . The library exploits the chart.left_visible_bar_time and chart.right_visible_bar_time variables, which return the opening time of the leftmost and rightmost bars on the chart. They are only two of many new built-ins in the `chart.*` namespace. See this blog post for more information, or look them up by typing "chart." in the Pine Script™ Reference Manual .
• This script's architecture utilizes user-defined types (UDTs) to create custom objects which are the equivalent of variables containing multiple parts, each able to hold independent values of different types . The recently added feature was announced in this blog post.

Regime [CHE] Regime — Minimal HTF MACD histogram regime marker with a simple rising versus falling state.
Summary
Regime is a lightweight overlay that turns a higher-timeframe-style MACD histogram condition into a simple regime marker on your chart. It queries an imported core module to determine whether the histogram is rising and then paints a consistent marker color based on that boolean state. The output is intentionally minimal: no lines, no panels, no extra smoothing visuals, just a repeated marker that reflects the current regime. This makes it useful as a quick context filter for other signals rather than a standalone system.
Motivation: Why this design?
A common problem in discretionary and systematic workflows is clutter and over-interpretation. Many regime tools draw multiple plots, which can distract from price structure. This script reduces the regime idea to one stable question: is the MACD histogram rising under a given preset and smoothing length. The core logic is delegated to a shared module to keep the indicator thin and consistent across scripts that rely on the same definition.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
Reference baseline: A standard MACD histogram plotted in a separate pane with manual interpretation.
Architecture differences:
Uses a shared library call for the regime decision, rather than re-implementing MACD logic locally.
Uses a single boolean output to drive marker color, rather than plotting histogram bars.
Uses fixed marker placement at the bottom of the chart for consistent visibility.
Practical effect:
You get a persistent “context layer” on price without dedicating a separate pane or reading histogram amplitude. The chart shows state, not magnitude.
How it works (technical)
1. The script imports `chervolino/CoreMACDHTF/2` and calls `core.is_hist_rising()` on each bar.
2. Inputs provide the source series, a preset string for MACD-style parameters, and a smoothing length used by the library function.
3. The library returns a boolean `rising` that represents whether the histogram is rising according to the library’s internal definition.
4. The script maps that boolean to a color: yellow when rising, blue otherwise.
5. A circle marker is plotted on every bar at the bottom of the chart, colored by the current regime state. Only the most recent five hundred bars are displayed to limit visual load.
Notes:
The exact internal calculation details of `core.is_hist_rising()` are not shown in this code. Any higher timeframe mechanics, security usage, or confirmation behavior are determined by the imported library. (Unknown)
Parameter Guide
Source — Selects the price series used by the library call — Default: close — Tips: Use close for consistency; alternate sources may shift regime changes.
Preset — Chooses parameter preset for the library’s MACD-style configuration — Default: 3,10,16 — Trade-offs: Faster presets tend to flip more often; slower presets tend to react later.
Smoothing Length — Controls smoothing used inside the library regime decision — Default: 21 — Bounds: minimum one — Trade-offs: Higher values typically reduce noise but can delay transitions. (Library behavior: Unknown)
Reading & Interpretation
Yellow markers indicate the library considers the histogram to be rising at that bar.
Blue markers indicate the library considers it not rising, which may include falling or flat conditions depending on the library definition. (Unknown)
Because markers repeat on every bar, focus on transitions from one color to the other as regime changes.
This tool is best read as context: it does not express strength, only direction of change as defined by the library.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
Trend following:
Use yellow as a condition to allow long-side entries and blue as a condition to allow short-side entries, then trigger entries with your primary setup such as structure breaks or pullback patterns. (Optional)
Exits and stops:
Consider tightening management after a color transition against your position direction, but do not treat a single flip as an exit signal without price-based confirmation. (Optional)
Multi-asset and multi-timeframe:
Keep `Source` consistent across assets.
Use the slower preset when instruments are noisy, and the faster preset when you need earlier context shifts. The best transferability depends on the imported library’s behavior. (Unknown)
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Repaint and confirmation:
This script itself uses no forward-looking indexing and no explicit closed-bar gating. It evaluates on every bar update.
Any repaint or confirmation behavior may come from the imported library. If the library uses higher timeframe data, intrabar updates can change the state until the higher timeframe bar closes. (Unknown)
security and HTF:
Not visible here. The library name suggests HTF behavior, but the implementation is not shown. Treat this as potentially higher-timeframe-driven unless you confirm the library source. (Unknown)
Resources:
No loops, no arrays, no heavy objects. The plotting is one marker series with a five hundred bar display window.
Known limits:
This indicator does not convey histogram magnitude, divergence, or volatility context.
A binary regime can flip in choppy phases depending on preset and smoothing.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Starting point:
Source: close
Preset: 3,10,16
Smoothing Length: 21
Tuning recipes:
Too many flips: choose the slower preset and increase smoothing length.
Too sluggish: choose the faster preset and reduce smoothing length.
Regime changes feel misaligned with your entries: keep the preset, switch the source back to close, and tune smoothing length in small steps.
What this indicator is—and isn’t
This is a minimal regime visualization and a context filter. It is not a complete trading system, not a risk model, and not a prediction engine. Use it together with price structure, execution rules, and position management. The regime definition depends on the imported library, so validate it against your market and timeframe before relying on it.

🔥 SMC Reversal Engine v3.5 – Clean FVG + DashboardSMC Reversal Engine v3.5 – Clean FVG + Dashboard
The SMC Reversal Engine is a precision-built Smart Money Concepts tool designed to help traders understand market structure the single most important foundation in reading price action. It reveals how institutions move liquidity, where structure shifts occur, and how Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) align with these changes to signal potential reversals or continuations.
Understanding How It Works
At its core, the script detects CHoCH (Change of Character) and BOS (Break of Structure)—the two key turning points in institutional order flow. A CHoCH shows that the market has reversed intent (for example, from bearish to bullish), while a BOS confirms a continuation of the current trend. Together, they form the backbone of structure-based trading.
To refine this logic, the engine uses fractal pivots clusters of candles that confirm swing highs and lows. Fractals filter out noise, identifying points where price truly changes direction. The script lets you set this sensitivity manually or automatically adapts it depending on the timeframe. Lower fractal sensitivity captures smaller intraday swings for scalpers, while higher sensitivity locks onto major swing structures for swing and position traders.
The dashboard gives you a real-time reading of the trend, the last high and low, and what the market is likely to do next—for example, “Expect HL” or “Wait for LH.” It even tracks the accuracy of these structure predictions over time, giving an educational feedback loop to help you learn price behavior.
Fair Value Gaps and Tap Entries
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) mark moments when price moves too quickly, leaving inefficiencies that institutions often revisit. When price taps into an FVG, it often acts as a high-probability entry zone for reversals or continuations. The script automatically detects, extends, and deletes old FVGs, keeping only relevant zones visible for a clean chart.
Traders can enable markTapEntry to visually confirm when an FVG gets filled. This is a simple but powerful trigger that often aligns with CHoCH or BOS moments.
Recommended Settings for Different Traders
For Scalpers, use a lower HTF structure such as 1 minute or 5 minutes. Keep Auto Fractals on for faster reaction, and limit FVG zones to 2–3. This gives you a clean, real-time reflection of order flow.
For Intraday Traders, 15-minute to 1-hour structure gives the perfect balance between reactivity and stability. Fractal sensitivity around 3–5 captures the most actionable levels without excessive noise.
For Swing Traders, use 4-hour, 1-day, or even 3-day structure. The chart becomes smoother, showing higher-order CHoCH and BOS that define true institutional transitions. Combine this with EMA confirmation for higher conviction.
For Position or Macro Traders, select Weekly or Monthly structure. The dynamic label system expands automatically to keep more historical BOS/CHoCH points visible, allowing you to see long-term shifts clearly.
Educational Value
This indicator is built to teach traders how to see structure the way professionals and smart money do. You’ll learn to recognize how markets transition from one phase to another from accumulation to manipulation to expansion. Each CHoCH or BOS helps you decode where liquidity is being taken and where new intent begins.
The included SMC Quick Guide explains each structural cue right on your chart. Within days of using it, you’ll start noticing patterns that reveal how price really moves, instead of guessing based on indicators.
Settings and How to Use Them
Everything in the SMC Reversal Engine is designed to adapt to your trading style and help you read structure like a professional.
When you open the Inputs Panel, you’ll see sections like Fractal Settings, FVG Settings, Buy/Sell Confirmation, and Educational Tools.
Under Fractal Settings, you can choose the higher timeframe (HTF) that defines structure—from minutes to weeks. The Auto Fractal Sensitivity option automatically adjusts how tight or wide swing points are detected. Lower sensitivity captures short-term fluctuations (great for scalpers), while higher values filter noise and isolate major swing highs and lows (perfect for swing traders).
The Fair Value Gap (FVG) options manage imbalance zones—the footprints of institutional orders. You can show or hide these zones, extend them into the future, and control how long they remain before auto-deletion. The Mark Entry When FVG is Tapped option places a small label when price revisits the gap—a potential entry signal that aligns with smart money logic.
EMA Confirmation adds a layer of confluence. The script can automatically scale EMA lengths based on timeframe, or you can input your preferred values (for example, 9/21 for intraday, 50/200 for swing). Require EMA Crossover Confirmation helps filter false moves, keeping you trading only with aligned momentum.
The Educational section gives traders visual reinforcement. When enabled, you’ll see tags like HH (Higher High), HL (Higher Low), LH (Lower High), and LL (Lower Low). These show structure shifts in real time, helping you learn visually what market structure really means. The Cheat Sheet panel summarizes each term, always visible in the corner for quick reference.
Early Top Warnings use wick size and RSI divergence to signal when price may be overextended—a useful heads-up before potential CHoCH formations.
Finally, the Narrative and Accuracy System translates structure into simple English—messages like Trend Bullish → Wait for HL or BOS Bearish → Expect LL. Over time, you can monitor how accurate these expectations have been, training your pattern recognition and confidence.
Pro Tips for Getting the Most Out of the SMC Reversal Engine
1. Start on Higher Timeframes First: Begin on the 4H or Daily chart where structure is cleaner and signals have more weight. Then scale down for entries once you grasp directional intent.
2. Use FVGs for Context, Not Just Entries: Observe how price behaves around unfilled FVGs—they often act as magnets or barriers, offering insight into where liquidity lies.
3. Combine With HTF Bias: Always trade in the direction of your higher timeframe trend. A bullish weekly BOS means lower timeframes should ideally align bullishly for optimal setups.
4. Clean Charts = Clear Mind: Use Minimal Mode when focusing on price action, then toggle the educational tools back on to review structure for learning.
5. Don’t Chase Every CHoCH or BOS: Focus on significant breaks that align with broader context and liquidity sweeps, not minor fluctuations.
6. Accuracy Rate Is a Feedback Tool: Use the accuracy stat as a reflection of consistency—not a trade trigger.
7. Build Narrative Awareness: Read the on-chart narrative messages to reinforce structured thinking and stay disciplined.
8. Practice Replay Mode: Step through past structures to visually connect CHoCH, BOS, and FVG behavior. It’s one of the best ways to train pattern recognition.
Summary
* Detects CHoCH and BOS automatically with fractal precision
* Identifies and manages Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) in real time
* Displays a smart dashboard with accuracy tracking
* Adapts label visibility dynamically by timeframe
* Perfect for both learning and trading with institutional clarity
This tool isn’t about predicting the market—it’s about understanding it. Once you can read structure, everything else in trading becomes secondary.

### MACD_sma20 – Multi-Timeframe MACD Pullback & SMA20 Dashboard
This script is a complete trading toolkit built around a **MACD pullback strategy** combined with **multi-timeframe SMA20 filters**, volume analysis, and a compact information panel.
It is designed for traders who like to:
* Trade **MACD pullbacks above the moving average**
* Track **key SMA20 levels across multiple timeframes** (Daily, 3-Day, Weekly, Monthly)
* Quickly see whether **current price is above or below those reference levels**
* Use **clean visual signals** for entries and exits, instead of staring at raw indicator values
---
### Core Features
#### 1. MACD Pullback Long Signal (Green Triangle Up)
The script detects a **bullish MACD pullback** pattern:
* MACD line is still **above** the signal line
* Both MACD line and histogram **pull back** for several bars
* Then MACD turns back up again, with price trading **above the local SMA20**
When this “pullback and re-acceleration” is confirmed, a **green triangle below the bar** is plotted as a **long entry signal**.
There is also an optional filter:
* **Weekly SMA20 filter**:
If enabled, long signals are only triggered when **current price is above the Weekly SMA20**, helping you stay on the right side of the higher-timeframe trend.
---
#### 2. Bearish Pullback Confirmation Signal (Red Triangle Down)
On the short side, the script detects a **bearish pullback confirmation** based on:
* A recent **high-volume bearish candle** (large down bar with volume above a multiple of the 20-period volume average)
* At least a minimum number of **negative MACD histogram bars**
* MACD line moving closer to the signal line (loss of momentum)
* Price recovering back up near the **top of that high-volume bearish candle**, then starting to fall again while MACD stays positive
When all conditions align, the script prints a **red triangle above the bar**, indicating a **bearish pullback confirmation** – often a good area to take profits on longs or consider short/hedge setups.
---
#### 3. Signal History Tracking
For both long and short signals, the script internally tracks the **most recent three signals**:
* Timestamp of the signal
* Price at the signal
* Short-term percentage change into the signal
This is mainly for internal use and future expansion, but already gives you a structured signal history if you want to extend or connect the logic later.
---
### Multi-Timeframe SMA20 Dashboard (Bottom-Right Panel)
One of the most useful parts of this script is the **compact dashboard table** in the **bottom-right corner** of the chart. It updates in real time and shows:
1. **Current Price**
2. **Daily SMA20** – value + whether price is above/below
3. **3-Day SMA20** – value + whether price is above/below
4. **Weekly SMA20** – value + whether price is above/below
5. **Monthly SMA20** – value + whether price is above/below
6. **RSI** (current timeframe)
For each timeframe’s SMA20:
* If **price ≥ SMA20**, the status cell is **green** with a ✓
* If **price < SMA20**, the status cell is **red** with a ✗
This gives you, at a glance:
* Is the market in a **short-term uptrend or downtrend** (Daily SMA20)?
* Is the **swing / position trend** healthy (3D & Weekly SMA20)?
* Is the broader **macro structure** supportive (Monthly SMA20)?
You don’t need to manually switch timeframes or add multiple moving averages – the script does all of that for you automatically using `request.security`.
---
### Alerts
The script comes with two built-in alert conditions:
* **MACD回踩转多信号 (MACD pullback bullish signal)**
* **空头回抽确认信号 (Bearish pullback confirmation signal)**
You can attach TradingView alerts to these conditions to get notified whenever a new long or bearish-confirmation setup appears, even when you’re not watching the chart.
---
### How to Use It in Your Trading
1. **Choose your main trading timeframe**
* For intraday swing: 15m / 1h / 4h
* For swing / position: 4h / Daily
2. **Watch the bottom-right SMA20 panel**
* If most higher-timeframe SMA20 rows are **green**, you are trading **with the larger trend**.
* If they are **mixed or mostly red**, you’re either counter-trend or in a choppy transition zone.
3. **Use the green MACD pullback signals**
* Prefer long setups when:
* The **Weekly and Monthly SMA20 rows are green**, and
* The signal appears **above the Daily SMA20**
* This stacks multiple edges: trend + pullback + momentum re-acceleration.
4. **Use the red bearish confirmation signals for risk management**
* Take partial profits on longs when a red signal appears near resistance.
* Consider hedge/short opportunities if higher-timeframe SMA20 rows are already red or turning red.
5. **Use RSI as a context indicator**
* Combine with overbought/oversold zones or your own RSI thresholds for additional confirmation.
---
### Why This Script Is Useful
* **Trend awareness across timeframes**:
You always know where current price sits relative to the Daily / 3-Day / Weekly / Monthly SMA20 – without switching charts.
* **Clear, rule-based signals**:
The MACD logic is explicit and systematic, focused on **pullbacks within trends** rather than random crossovers.
* **Volume-aware bearish logic**:
High-volume bearish candles often mark important supply zones. The script builds this idea directly into the short-side confirmation logic.
* **Visual and intuitive**:
Green/Red triangles + Green/Red table cells make it easy to interpret even if you are not a heavy indicator user.
* **Flexible**:
All key parameters (MACD lengths, SMA length, volume threshold, lookback period, RSI length, weekly filter) are customizable, so you can adapt it to different markets (crypto, stocks, FX) and timeframes.
---
In short, this script is a **multi-timeframe MACD pullback system with an integrated SMA20 dashboard**, suitable for swing traders and position traders who want a structured, visually clean way to align entries with trend and momentum while keeping an eye on higher-timeframe levels.
Auto Fibonacci RetraceNOTE: This script is for educational purposes only.
This Pine Script v6 indicator automates the drawing of Fibonacci retracement levels on a TradingView chart based on detected pivot highs and lows. It's designed to identify the most recent swing points in a price trend and plot horizontal lines at standard Fibonacci ratios (0%, 23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, 78.6%, 100%), along with optional labels for each level. The script is useful for traders who want dynamic, hands-free Fib retracements that update as new pivots form, helping to spot potential support/resistance zones without manual intervention.
Key Features
Automatic Pivot Detection: Uses TradingView's built-in ta.pivothigh and ta.pivotlow functions to find recent swing highs and lows. The sensitivity is adjustable via user inputs for "Left Bars" and "Right Bars" (default: 5 each), which define how many bars are checked on either side to confirm a pivot.
Trend Direction Awareness: Determines if the current swing is an uptrend (recent high after low) or downtrend (recent low after high) and orients the Fib levels accordingly—starting from the low in uptrends or high in downtrends.
Dynamic Drawing:
Plots dashed horizontal lines extending to the right of the chart for each Fib level.
Colors are predefined for visual distinction (e.g., blue for 23.6%, orange for 61.8%).
Lines and labels are cleared and redrawn only when a new pivot is detected or on initial load to prevent chart clutter.
Customizable Labels: Optional labels show the percentage (e.g., "61.8%") and can be positioned on the "Left" (at the swing start) or "Right" (pinned to the current bar, updating dynamically). Labels use semi-transparent backgrounds for readability.
Performance Optimizations: Uses arrays to manage lines and labels efficiently, with reverse-indexed loops for safe deletion. The max_bars_back=500 ensures it handles historical data without excessive computation.
User Inputs:
Left/Right Bars: Tune pivot detection (higher values for major trends, lower for shorter swings).
Show Fib Levels/Labels: Toggle visibility.
Label Position: "Left" or "Right" for placement flexibility.
Usage Instructions
Adding to Chart: Copy-paste into TradingView's Pine Editor, save as a new indicator, and add it to your chart via the "Indicators" menu.
Customization: Adjust inputs in the indicator settings panel. For example, set Left/Right Bars to 10 for daily charts in strong trends.
Best Practices:
Use on trending markets (e.g., stocks, forex, crypto like BTC/USD); avoid choppy sideways action.
Combine with other indicators (e.g., RSI for overbought/oversold confirmation) for better trade signals.
Test on historical data—zoom out to see how it redraws on past swings.
Limitations: Relies on pivot functions, so it may lag slightly (pivots confirm after "Right Bars"). Not a trading strategy—use for analysis only. No alerts built-in, but you can add alertcondition if extending it.
Potential Enhancements: Add extensions (e.g., 161.8%), user-defined levels, or alerts on price touches via simple modifications.
This script provides a clean, efficient way to visualize Fib retracements automatically, saving time compared to manual drawing. If you need further tweaks or integration into a full strategy, let me know!
MACD Remastered [CHE]MACD Remastered — Robust MACD with confirmed pivot-based divergence, optional signal bands, and ready-to-use alerts.
Summary
This indicator augments classic MACD with a robust, confirmed pivot-based divergence engine and an optional signal channel using Bollinger Bands. Divergence signals are only produced after a pivot is confirmed, which reduces noise from transient swings. A line-of-sight clearance check filters cases where the MACD histogram path contradicts the divergence, further cutting false flags. Histogram coloring clarifies momentum changes, while optional triangles project the same signals onto the main chart for quick context.
Motivation: Why this design?
Standard MACD divergence tools tend to fire early in volatile phases and flip during consolidation. The core idea here is to delay decision points until a pivot is confirmed and to validate the path between pivots. This addresses fake flips and improves signal credibility at the cost of some latency. Optional bands around the Signal line add context about compression and expansion without altering MACD’s core behavior.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
Reference baseline: Classical MACD (fast and slow moving averages, Signal line, histogram) with simple divergence checks.
Architecture differences:
Confirmed pivot logic with left and right bars.
Line-of-sight clearance test across the histogram path between pivots.
Optional Signal-line Bollinger Bands with configurable length and width.
Composite “Any Divergence” alert plus separate regular and hidden alerts.
Optional main-chart triangles using forced overlay for at-a-glance context.
Practical effect: Fewer early or contradictory divergence signals, clearer momentum context via histogram colors and a visible Signal channel during compression and expansion.
How it works (technical)
The MACD line derives from a fast and a slow moving average on a chosen source. The Signal line smooths the MACD line using a selected moving average type and length. The histogram is the difference between MACD and Signal and is colored by direction and acceleration.
Divergence uses confirmed pivots: a pivot forms only after a set number of bars on the right side, so the event is locked in. The engine retrieves the last two relevant pivots and checks price movement versus the MACD histogram movement to classify regular or hidden divergence. A line-of-sight clearance routine traverses the histogram path between the two pivots and rejects the signal if the path invalidates the directional relationship. When enabled, Bollinger Bands are plotted around the Signal line; width scales with standard deviation. Programmatic alerts fire only on confirmed bars. No higher-timeframe requests are used.
Parameter Guide
Oscillator MA Type — Sets fast and slow MA family for MACD. Default: EMA. Tip: EMA is more responsive; SMA is steadier.
Fast Length — Fast MA period. Default: 12. Trade-off: Shorter is quicker but noisier.
Slow Length — Slow MA period. Default: 26. Trade-off: Longer reduces noise but adds lag.
Source — Price input. Default: Close. Tip: Use a stable source for consistency.
Signal MA Type — Moving average family for Signal. Default: EMA.
Signal Length — Smoothing of MACD into Signal. Default: 9. Trade-off: Longer smooths more, reacts slower.
Calculate Divergence — Enables divergence engine. Default: True.
Enable Bollinger Bands on Signal — Adds bands around Signal. Default: False.
BB Length — Sampling window for bands. Default: 20. Active: Only when bands are enabled.
BB StdDev — Band width in standard deviations. Default: 2.0. Bounds: between about zero point zero zero one and fifty.
Pivot Left / Pivot Right — Bars to the left and right that define a confirmed pivot. Default: five and five. Trade-off: Larger values mean stronger but slower pivots.
Min / Max Bars Between Pivots — Valid window between two pivots. Default: five and sixty. Tip: Increase minimum to reduce micro-divergences.
Detect Hidden — Include hidden divergence. Default: True.
Draw Lines — Draw connector lines on the MACD pane. Default: True.
Alerts: Enable / Regular / Hidden / Frequency / Prefix — Control alert emission, categories, cadence, and label. Defaults: Enabled, both categories on, once per bar close, prefix “MACD RM”.
Reading & Interpretation
Histogram: Columns above zero reflect positive momentum; below zero reflect negative momentum. Color shifts indicate momentum increasing or decreasing within each side.
MACD and Signal: Crosses and distance indicate momentum shifts and strength. When bands are enabled, touches and departures hint at compression and expansion around the Signal.
Divergence: Solid green lines and labels indicate regular bullish; solid red indicate regular bearish. Dashed teal and dashed orange denote hidden bullish and hidden bearish. Triangles on the main chart mirror these events for quicker visibility.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
Trend following: Use histogram color transitions with a structure filter such as higher highs and higher lows for long bias, or lower highs and lower lows for short bias. Divergence against the prevailing structure suggests caution or partial exits.
Exits and risk: In a long, regular bearish divergence near resistance can justify scaling out or tightening stops. Hidden divergence in the trend direction can support continuation but should not replace risk controls.
Multi-asset / Multi-timeframe: Works across liquid futures, forex, indices, and large-cap equities. Start with defaults on four-hour and daily; shorten lengths on intraday only when liquidity is strong.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Repaint and confirmation: Signals are anchored only after the right-side pivot bars complete; alerts trigger on confirmed bars. This intentionally adds latency to reduce noise.
No higher-timeframe requests: No `security` calls are used; repaint risk is primarily tied to live bars before confirmation.
Resources: Declared `max_bars_back` is five hundred. The divergence path check iterates between pivots, bounded by the maximum bars parameter. Line objects may accumulate; limits are set for lines and labels.
Known limits: Latency at sharp turns, potential misses during fast single-bar reversals, and sensitivity to extremely choppy sessions if minimum gap between pivots is set too low.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tunin g
Starting point: EMA, twelve and twenty-six with Signal nine; pivots five and five; minimum five, maximum sixty; alerts on close; bands off.
Too many flips: Increase Signal length, raise pivot counts, and increase minimum bars between pivots. Consider disabling hidden divergence.
Too sluggish: Reduce pivot counts, lower Signal length, and enable bands to visualize early compression.
Cluttered chart: Keep lines off and rely on labels and main-chart triangles. Use the alert prefix to route events cleanly.

EMA100 Breakout by shubhThis indicator is a clean, price-action-based breakout system designed for disciplined trend trading on any timeframe — especially for Nifty and Bank Nifty spot, futures, and options charts.
It uses a single 100-period EMA to define trend direction and waits for decisive candle closes across the EMA to trigger potential entries.
The logic ensures only one active trade at a time, enforcing patience and clarity in decision-making.
⚙️ Core Logic
Buy Setup
A bullish candle closes above the 100 EMA while its open was below the EMA.
Entry occurs at candle close.
Stop-Loss (SL): Low of the signal candle.
Target (TP): 4 × the SL distance (Risk : Reward = 1 : 4).
Sell Setup
A bearish candle closes below the 100 EMA while its open was above the EMA.
Entry occurs at candle close.
Stop-Loss (SL): High of the signal candle.
Target (TP): 4 × the SL distance.
Trade Management
Only one trade may run at a time (either long or short).
New signals are ignored until the current position hits SL or TP.
Transparent labels show Entry, SL, and TP levels on chart.
Dotted lines visualize active Stop-Loss (red) and Target (green).
Exit markers:
✅ Target Hit
❌ Stop Loss Hit
🧠 Key Advantages
Simple and transparent trend-following logic.
Enforces disciplined “one-trade-at-a-time” behavior.
High risk-to-reward (1 : 4).
Works across timeframes — 5 min to Daily.
Ideal for intraday and positional setups.
📊 Suggested Use
Apply on Nifty / Bank Nifty spot or futures charts.
Works on any instrument with clear momentum swings.
Best confirmation when EMA 100 acts as dynamic support/resistance.

MACD HTF Hardcoded (A/B Presets) + Regimes [CHE] MACD HTF Hardcoded (A/B Presets) + Regimes — Higher-timeframe MACD emulation with acceptance-based regime filter and on-chart diagnostics
Summary
This indicator emulates a higher-timeframe MACD directly on the current chart using two hardcoded preset families and a time-bucket mapping, avoiding cross-timeframe requests. It classifies four MACD regimes and applies an acceptance filter that requires several consecutive bars before a state is considered valid. A small dead-band around zero reduces noise near the axis. An on-chart table reports the active preset, the inferred time bucket, the resolved lengths, and the current regime.
Pine version: v6
Overlay: false
Primary outputs: MACD line, Signal line, Histogram columns, zero line, regime-change alert, info table
Motivation: Why this design?
Cross-timeframe indicators often rely on external timeframe requests, which can introduce repaint paths and added latency. This design provides a deterministic alternative: it maps the current chart’s timeframe to coarse higher-timeframe buckets and uses fixed EMA lengths that approximate those views. The dead-band suppresses flip-flops around zero, and the acceptance counter reduces whipsaw by requiring sustained agreement across bars before acknowledging a regime.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
Baseline: Classical MACD with user-selected lengths on the same timeframe, or higher-timeframe MACD via cross-timeframe requests.
Architecture differences:
Hardcoded A and B length families with a bucket map derived from the chart timeframe.
No `request.security`; all calculations occur on the current series.
Regime classification from MACD and Histogram sign, gated by an acceptance count and a small zero dead-band.
Diagnostics table for transparency.
Practical effect: The MACD behaves like a slower, higher-timeframe variant without external requests. Regimes switch less often due to the dead-band and acceptance logic, which can improve stability in choppy sessions.
How it works (technical)
The script derives a coarse bucket from the chart timeframe using `timeframe.in_seconds` and maps it to preset-specific EMA lengths. EMAs of the source build MACD and Signal; their difference is the Histogram. Signs of MACD and Histogram define four regimes: strong bull, weak bull, strong bear, and weak bear. A small, user-defined band around zero treats values near the axis as neutral. An acceptance counter checks whether the same regime persisted for a given number of consecutive bars before it is emitted as the filtered regime. A single alert condition fires when the filtered regime changes. The histogram columns change shade based on position relative to zero and whether they are rising or falling. A persistent table object shows preset, bucket tag, resolved lengths, and the filtered regime. No cross-timeframe requests are used, so repaint risk is limited to normal live-bar movement; values stabilize on close.
Parameter Guide
Source — Input series for MACD — Default: Close — Using a smoother source increases stability but adds lag.
Preset — A or B length family — Default: “3,10,16” — Switch to “12,26,9” for the classic family mapped to buckets.
Table Position — Anchor for the info table — Default: Top right — Choose a corner that avoids covering price action.
Table Size — Table text size — Default: Normal — Use small on dense charts, large for presentations.
Dark Mode — Table theme — Default: Enabled — Match your chart background for readability.
Show Table — Toggle diagnostics table — Default: Enabled — Disable for a cleaner pane.
Zero dead-band (epsilon) — Noise gate around zero — Default: Zero — Increase slightly when you see frequent flips near zero.
Acceptance bars (n) — Bars required to confirm a regime — Default: Three — Raise to reduce whipsaw; lower to react faster.
Reading & Interpretation
Histogram columns: Above zero indicates bullish pressure; below zero indicates bearish pressure. Darker shade implies the histogram increased compared with the prior bar; lighter shade implies it decreased.
MACD vs. Signal lines: The spread corresponds to histogram height.
Regimes:
Strong bull: MACD above zero and Histogram above zero.
Weak bull: MACD above zero and Histogram below zero.
Strong bear: MACD below zero and Histogram below zero.
Weak bear: MACD below zero and Histogram above zero.
Table: Inspect active preset, bucket tag, resolved lengths, and the filtered regime number with its description.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
Trend following: Use strong bull to favor long exposure and strong bear to favor short exposure. Use weak states as pullback or transition context. Combine with structure tools such as swing highs and lows or a baseline moving average for confirmation.
Exits and risk: In strong trends, consider exiting partial size on a regime downgrade to a weak state. In choppy sessions, increase the acceptance bars to reduce churn.
Multi-asset / Multi-timeframe: Works on time-based charts across liquid futures, indices, currencies, and large-cap equities. Bucket mapping helps retain a consistent feel when moving from lower to higher timeframes.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Repaint/confirmation: No cross-timeframe requests; values can evolve intrabar and settle on close. Alerts follow your TradingView alert timing settings.
Resources: `max_bars_back` is set to five thousand. Very large resolved lengths require sufficient history to seed EMAs; expect a warm-up period on first load or after switching symbols.
Known limits: Dead-band and acceptance can delay recognition at sharp turns. Extremely thin markets or large gaps may still cause brief regime reversals.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Start with preset “3,10,16”, dead-band near zero, and acceptance of three bars.
Too many flips near zero: increase the dead-band slightly or raise the acceptance bars.
Too sluggish in clean trends: reduce the acceptance bars by one.
Too sensitive on fast lower timeframes: switch to the “12,26,9” preset family or raise the acceptance bars.
Want less clutter: hide the table and keep the alert.
What this indicator is—and isn’t
This is a visualization and regime layer for MACD using higher-timeframe emulation and stability gates. It is not a complete trading system and does not generate position sizing or risk management. Use it with market structure, execution rules, and protective stops.

Hidden Impulse═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
HIDDEN IMPULSE - Multi-Timeframe Momentum Detection System
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
OVERVIEW
Hidden Impulse is an advanced momentum oscillator that combines the Schaff Trend Cycle (STC) and Force Index into a comprehensive multi-timeframe trading system. Unlike standard implementations of these indicators, this script introduces three distinct trading setups with specific entry conditions, multi-timeframe confirmation, and trend filtering.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
ORIGINALITY & KEY FEATURES
This indicator is original in the following ways:
1. DUAL-TIMEFRAME STC ANALYSIS
Standard STC implementations work on a single timeframe. This script
simultaneously analyzes STC on both your trading timeframe and a higher
timeframe, providing trend context and filtering out low-probability signals.
2. FORCE INDEX INTEGRATION
The script combines STC with Force Index (volume-weighted price momentum)
to confirm the strength behind price moves. This combination helps identify
when momentum shifts are backed by genuine buying/selling pressure.
3. THREE DISTINCT TRADING SETUPS
Rather than generic overbought/oversold signals, the indicator provides
three specific, rule-based setups:
- Setup A: Classic trend-following entries with multi-timeframe confirmation
- Setup B: Divergence-based reversal entries (highest probability)
- Setup C: Mean-reversion bounce trades at extreme levels
4. INTELLIGENT FILTERING
All signals are filtered through:
- 50 EMA trend direction (prevents counter-trend trades)
- Higher timeframe STC alignment (ensures macro trend agreement)
- Force Index confirmation (validates volume support)

HOW IT WORKS - TECHNICAL EXPLANATION
SCHAFF TREND CYCLE (STC) CALCULATION:
The STC is a cyclical oscillator that combines MACD concepts with stochastic
smoothing to create earlier and smoother trend signals.
Step 1: Calculate MACD
- Fast MA = EMA(close, Length1) — default 23
- Slow MA = EMA(close, Length2) — default 50
- MACD Line = Fast MA - Slow MA
Step 2: First Stochastic Smoothing
- Apply stochastic calculation to MACD
- Stoch1 = 100 × (MACD - Lowest(MACD, Smoothing)) / (Highest(MACD, Smoothing) - Lowest(MACD, Smoothing))
- Smooth result with EMA(Stoch1, Smoothing) — default 10
Step 3: Second Stochastic Smoothing
- Apply stochastic calculation again to the smoothed stochastic
- This creates the final STC value between 0-100
The dual stochastic smoothing makes STC more responsive than MACD while
being smoother than traditional stochastics.
FORCE INDEX CALCULATION:
Force Index measures the power behind price movements by incorporating volume:
Force Raw = (Close - Close ) × Volume
Force Index = EMA(Force Raw, Period) — default 13
Interpretation:
- Positive Force Index = Buying pressure (bulls in control)
- Negative Force Index = Selling pressure (bears in control)
- Force Index crossing zero = Momentum shift
- Divergences with price = Weakening momentum (reversal signal)
TREND FILTER:
A 50-period EMA serves as the trend filter:
- Price above EMA50 = Uptrend → Only LONG signals allowed
- Price below EMA50 = Downtrend → Only SHORT signals allowed
This prevents counter-trend trading which accounts for most losing trades.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
THE THREE TRADING SETUPS - DETAILED
SETUP A: CLASSIC MOMENTUM ENTRY
Concept: Enter when STC exits oversold/overbought zones with trend confirmation
LONG CONDITIONS:
1. Higher timeframe STC > 25 (macro trend is up)
2. Primary timeframe STC crosses above 25 (momentum turning up)
3. Force Index crosses above 0 OR already positive (volume confirms)
4. Price above 50 EMA (local trend is up)
SHORT CONDITIONS:
1. Higher timeframe STC < 75 (macro trend is down)
2. Primary timeframe STC crosses below 75 (momentum turning down)
3. Force Index crosses below 0 OR already negative (volume confirms)
4. Price below 50 EMA (local trend is down)
Best for: Trending markets, continuation trades
Win rate: Moderate (60-65%)
Risk/Reward: 1:2 to 1:3
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
SETUP B: DIVERGENCE REVERSAL (HIGHEST PROBABILITY)
Concept: Identify exhaustion points where price makes new extremes but
momentum (Force Index) fails to confirm
BULLISH DIVERGENCE:
1. Price makes a lower low (LL) over 10 bars
2. Force Index makes a higher low (HL) — refuses to follow price down
3. STC is below 25 (oversold condition)
Trigger: STC starts rising AND Force Index crosses above zero
BEARISH DIVERGENCE:
1. Price makes a higher high (HH) over 10 bars
2. Force Index makes a lower high (LH) — refuses to follow price up
3. STC is above 75 (overbought condition)
Trigger: STC starts falling AND Force Index crosses below zero
Why this works: Divergences signal that the current trend is losing steam.
When volume (Force Index) doesn't confirm new price extremes, a reversal
is likely.
Best for: Reversal trading, range-bound markets
Win rate: High (70-75%)
Risk/Reward: 1:3 to 1:5
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
SETUP C: QUICK BOUNCE AT EXTREMES
Concept: Catch rapid mean-reversion moves when price touches EMA50 in
extreme STC zones
LONG CONDITIONS:
1. Price touches 50 EMA from above (pullback in uptrend)
2. STC < 15 (extreme oversold)
3. Force Index > 0 (buyers stepping in)
SHORT CONDITIONS:
1. Price touches 50 EMA from below (pullback in downtrend)
2. STC > 85 (extreme overbought)
3. Force Index < 0 (sellers stepping in)
Best for: Scalping, quick mean-reversion trades
Win rate: Moderate (55-60%)
Risk/Reward: 1:1 to 1:2
Note: Use tighter stops and quick profit-taking
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
HOW TO USE THE INDICATOR
STEP 1: CONFIGURE TIMEFRAMES
Primary Timeframe (STC - Primary Timeframe):
- Leave empty to use your current chart timeframe
- This is where you'll take trades
Higher Timeframe (STC - Higher Timeframe):
- Default: 30 minutes
- Recommended ratios:
* 5min chart → 30min higher TF
* 15min chart → 1H higher TF
* 1H chart → 4H higher TF
* Daily chart → Weekly higher TF
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
STEP 2: ADJUST STC PARAMETERS FOR YOUR MARKET
Default (23/50/10) works well for stocks and forex, but adjust for:
CRYPTO (volatile):
- Length 1: 15
- Length 2: 35
- Smoothing: 8
(Faster response for rapid price movements)
STOCKS (standard):
- Length 1: 23
- Length 2: 50
- Smoothing: 10
(Balanced settings)
FOREX MAJORS (slower):
- Length 1: 30
- Length 2: 60
- Smoothing: 12
(Filters out noise in 24/7 markets)
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
STEP 3: ENABLE YOUR PREFERRED SETUPS
Toggle setups based on your trading style:
Conservative Trader:
✓ Setup B (Divergence) — highest win rate
✗ Setup A (Classic) — only in strong trends
✗ Setup C (Bounce) — too aggressive
Trend Trader:
✓ Setup A (Classic) — primary signals
✓ Setup B (Divergence) — for entries on pullbacks
✗ Setup C (Bounce) — not suitable for trending
Scalper:
✓ Setup C (Bounce) — quick in-and-out
✓ Setup B (Divergence) — high probability scalps
✗ Setup A (Classic) — too slow
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
STEP 4: READ THE SIGNALS
ON THE CHART:
Labels appear when conditions are met:
Green labels:
- "LONG A" — Setup A long entry
- "LONG B DIV" — Setup B divergence long (best signal)
- "LONG C" — Setup C bounce long
Red labels:
- "SHORT A" — Setup A short entry
- "SHORT B DIV" — Setup B divergence short (best signal)
- "SHORT C" — Setup C bounce short
IN THE INDICATOR PANEL (bottom):
- Blue line = Primary timeframe STC
- Orange dots = Higher timeframe STC (optional)
- Green/Red bars = Force Index histogram
- Dashed lines at 25/75 = Entry/Exit zones
- Background shading = Oversold (green) / Overbought (red)

TRADING STRATEGY & RISK MANAGEMENT
ENTRY RULES:
Priority ranking (best to worst):
1st: Setup B (Divergence) — wait for these
2nd: Setup A (Classic) — in confirmed trends only
3rd: Setup C (Bounce) — scalping only
Confirmation checklist before entry:
☑ Signal label appears on chart
☑ TREND in info table matches signal direction
☑ Higher timeframe STC aligned (check orange dots or table)
☑ Force Index confirming (check histogram color)
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
STOP LOSS PLACEMENT:
Setup A (Classic):
- LONG: Below recent swing low
- SHORT: Above recent swing high
- Typical: 1-2 ATR distance
Setup B (Divergence):
- LONG: Below the divergence low
- SHORT: Above the divergence high
- Typical: 0.5-1.5 ATR distance
Setup C (Bounce):
- LONG: 5-10 pips below EMA50
- SHORT: 5-10 pips above EMA50
- Typical: 0.3-0.8 ATR distance
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
TAKE PROFIT TARGETS:
Conservative approach:
- Exit when STC reaches opposite level
- LONG: Exit when STC > 75
- SHORT: Exit when STC < 25
Aggressive approach:
- Hold until opposite signal appears
- Trail stop as STC moves in your favor
Partial profits:
- Take 50% at 1:2 risk/reward
- Let remaining 50% run to target
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
WHAT TO AVOID:
❌ Trading Setup A in sideways/choppy markets
→ Wait for clear trend or use Setup B only
❌ Ignoring higher timeframe STC
→ Always check orange dots align with your direction
❌ Taking signals against the major trend
→ If weekly trend is down, be cautious with longs
❌ Overtrading Setup C
→ Maximum 2-3 bounce trades per session
❌ Trading during low volume periods
→ Force Index becomes unreliable
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

EXAMPLE TRADE WALKTHROUGH
SETUP B DIVERGENCE LONG EXAMPLE:
1. Market Context:
- Price in downtrend, below 50 EMA
- Multiple lower lows forming
- STC below 25 (oversold)
2. Divergence Formation:
- Price makes new low at $45.20
- Force Index refuses to make new low (higher low forms)
- This indicates selling pressure weakening
3. Signal Trigger:
- STC starts turning up
- Force Index crosses above zero
- Label appears: "LONG B DIV"
4. Trade Execution:
- Entry: $45.50 (current price at signal)
- Stop Loss: $44.80 (below divergence low)
- Target 1: $47.90 (STC reaches 75) — risk/reward 1:3.4
- Target 2: Opposite signal or trail stop
5. Trade Management:
- Price rallies to $47.20
- STC reaches 68 (approaching target zone)
- Take 50% profit, move stop to breakeven
- Exit remaining at $48.10 when STC crosses 75
Result: 3.7R gain
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
ADVANCED TIPS
1. MULTI-TIMEFRAME CONFLUENCE
For highest probability trades, wait for:
- Primary TF signal
- Higher TF STC aligned (>25 for longs, <75 for shorts)
- Even higher TF trend in same direction (manual check)
2. VOLUME CONFIRMATION
Watch the Force Index histogram:
- Increasing bar size = Strengthening momentum
- Decreasing bar size = Weakening momentum
- Use this to gauge signal strength
3. AVOID THESE MARKET CONDITIONS
- Major news events (Force Index becomes erratic)
- Market open first 30 minutes (volatility spikes)
- Low liquidity instruments (Force Index unreliable)
- Extreme trending days (wait for pullbacks)
4. COMBINE WITH SUPPORT/RESISTANCE
Best signals occur near:
- Key horizontal levels
- Fibonacci retracements
- Previous day's high/low
- Psychological round numbers
5. SESSION AWARENESS
- Asia session: Use lower timeframes, Setup C works well
- London session: Setup A and B both effective
- New York session: All setups work, highest volume

Momentum-Based Fair Value Gaps [BackQuant]Momentum-Based Fair Value Gaps
A precision tool that detects Fair Value Gaps and color-codes each zone by momentum, so you can quickly tell which imbalances matter, which are likely to fill, and which may power continuation.
What is a Fair Value Gap
A Fair Value Gap is a 3-candle price imbalance that forms when the middle candle expands fast enough that it leaves a void between candle 1 and candle 3.
Bullish FVG : low > high . This marks a bullish imbalance left beneath price.
Bearish FVG : high < low . This marks a bearish imbalance left above price.
These zones often act as magnets for mean reversion or as fuel for trend continuation when price respects the gap boundary and runs.
Why add momentum
Not all gaps are equal. This script measures momentum with RSI on your chosen source and paints each FVG with a momentum heatmap. Strong-momentum gaps are more likely to hold or propel continuation. Weak-momentum gaps are more likely to fill.
Core Features
Auto FVG Detection with size filters in percent of price.
Momentum Heatmap per gap using RSI with smoothing. Multiple palettes: Gradient, Discrete, Simple, and scientific schemes like Viridis, Plasma, Inferno, Magma, Cividis, Turbo, Jet, plus Red-Green and Blue-White-Red.
Bull and Bear Modes with independent toggles.
Extend Until Filled : keep drawing live to the right until price fully fills the gap.
Auto Remove Filled for a clean chart.
Optional Labels showing the smoothed RSI value stored at the gap’s birth.
RSI-based Filters : only accept bullish gaps when RSI is oversold and bearish gaps when RSI is overbought.
Performance Controls : cap how many FVGs to keep on chart.
Alerts : new bullish or bearish FVG, filled FVG, and extreme RSI FVGs.
How it works
Source for Momentum : choose Returns, Close, or Volume.
Returns computes percent change over a short lookback to focus on impulse quality.
RSI and Smoothing : RSI length and a small SMA smooth the signal to stabilize the color coding.
Gap Scan : each bar checks for a 3-candle bullish or bearish imbalance that also clears your minimum size filter in percent of price.
Heatmap Color : the gap is painted at creation with a color from your palette based on the smoothed RSI value, preserving the momentum signature that formed it.
Lifecycle : if Extend Unfilled is on, the zone projects forward until price fully trades through the far edge. If Auto Remove is on, a filled gap is deleted immediately.
How to use it
Scan for structure : turn on both bullish and bearish FVGs. Start with a moderate Min FVG Size percent to reduce noise. You will see stacked clusters in trends and scattered singletons in chop.
Read the colors : brighter or stronger palette values imply stronger momentum at gap formation. Weakly colored gaps are lower conviction.
Decide bias : bullish FVGs below price suggest demand footprints. Bearish FVGs above price suggest supply footprints. Use the heatmap and RSI value to rank importance.
Choose your playbook :
Mean reversion : target partial or full fills of opposing FVGs that were created on weak momentum or that sit against higher timeframe context.
Trend continuation : look for price to respect the near edge of a strong-momentum FVG, then break away in the direction of the original impulse.
Manage risk : in continuation ideas, invalidation often sits beyond the opposite edge of the active FVG. In reversion ideas, invalidation sits beyond the gap that should attract price.
Two trade playbooks
Continuation - Buy the hold of a bullish FVG
Context uptrend.
A bullish FVG prints with strong RSI color.
Price revisits the top of the gap, holds, and rotates up. Enter on hold or first higher low inside or just above the gap.
Invalidation: below the gap bottom. Targets: prior swing, measured move, or next LV area.
Reversion - Fade a weak bearish FVG toward fill
Context range or fading trend.
A bearish FVG prints with weak RSI color near a completed move.
Price fails to accelerate lower and rotates back into the gap.
Enter toward mid-gap with confirmation.
Invalidation: above gap top. Target: opposite edge for a full fill, or the gap midline for partials.
Key settings
Max FVG Display : memory cap to keep charts fast. Try 30 to 60 on intraday.
Min FVG Size % : sets a quality floor. Start near 0.20 to 0.50 on liquid markets.
RSI Length and Smooth : 14 and 3 are balanced. Increase length for higher timeframe stability.
RSI Source :
Returns : most sensitive to true momentum bursts
Close : traditional.
Volume : uses raw volume impulses to judge footprint strength.
Filter by RSI Extremes : tighten rules so only the most stretched gaps print as signals.
Heatmap Style and Palette : pick a palette with good contrast for your background. Gradient for continuous feel, Discrete for quick zoning, Simple for binary, Palette for scientific schemes.
Extend Unfilled - Auto Remove : choose live projection and cleanup behavior to match your workflow.
Reading the chart
Bullish zones sit beneath price. Respect and hold of the upper boundary suggests demand. Strong green or warm palette tones indicate impulse quality.
Bearish zones sit above price. Respect and hold of the lower boundary suggests supply. Strong red or cool palette tones indicate impulse quality.
Stacking : multiple same-direction gaps stacked in a trend create ladders. Ladders often act as stepping stones for continuation.
Overlapping : opposing gaps overlapping in a small region usually mark a battle zone. Expect chop until one side is absorbed.
Workflow tips
Map higher timeframe trend first. Use lower timeframe FVGs for entries aligned with the higher timeframe bias.
Increase Min FVG Size percent and RSI length for noisy symbols.
Use labels when learning to correlate the RSI numbers with your palette colors.
Combine with VWAP or moving averages for confluence at FVG edges.
If you see repeated fills and refills of the same zone, treat that area as fair value and avoid chasing.
Alerts included
New Bullish FVG
New Bearish FVG
Bullish FVG Filled
Bearish FVG Filled
Extreme Oversold FVG - bullish
Extreme Overbought FVG - bearish
Practical defaults
RSI Length 14, Smooth 3, Source Returns.
Min FVG Size 0.25 percent on liquid majors.
Heatmap Style Gradient, Palette Viridis or Turbo for contrast.
Extend Unfilled on, Auto Remove on for a clean live map.
Notes
This tool does not predict the future. It maps imbalances and momentum so you can frame trades with clearer context, cleaner invalidation, and better ranking of which gaps matter. Use it with risk control and in combination with your broader process.
MACD-V with RSI Gradient## Overview
MACD-V is a volatility-adjusted momentum indicator that normalizes MACD using ATR. This version adds a dynamic RSI-based background gradient to highlight momentum zones visually.
## Features
- **MACD-V Line**: EMA-based momentum normalized by ATR
- **Signal Line**: EMA of MACD-V
- **Histogram**: Color-coded based on slope and polarity
- **RSI Gradient Background**: Shading from bright green (RSI > 75) to bright red (RSI < 30), with intermediate tones for momentum context
## Use Case
Designed for 30-minute oil futures charts, this indicator helps identify:
- Trend strength and reversals
- Momentum zones using RSI shading
- Pullback opportunities and exhaustion zones
## Inputs
- Fast EMA (default: 12)
- Slow EMA (default: 26)
- Signal EMA (default: 9)
- ATR Length (default: 26)
## Notes
- RSI shading is purely visual—no alerts are wired in yet
- Histogram renders behind MACD-V and Signal lines for clarity
- Colors are tuned for dark charts
## Credits
The MACD-v is an indicator created in 2015 by Alex Spiroglou
and presented to the public in 2022
as a paper called: "𝗠𝗔𝗖𝗗-𝘃: 𝗩𝗼𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗡𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗠𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘂𝗺"
It received the following Awards:
1. “𝐅𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐀𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝” (2022),
for advances in Active Investment Management
from the National Association of Active Investment Managers (NAAIM)
2. “𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐇. 𝐃𝐨𝐰 𝐀𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝” (2022)
for outstanding research in Technical Analysis,
from the Chartered Market Technicians Association (CMTA)
The RSI Gradient was my idea, but quite frankly, if I go looking around I suppose I'll find that others had the same idea.
This is the first time I've ever published any code, so if I stepped on anyone's toes. I'm sorry.
ICT Killzones & MacrosICT Killzones & Macros (v1.1.5) — configurable ICT session windows + refined “macro” windows with live High/Low levels, optional extensions, next-window previews, and lightweight opening-price lines. Built to be clock-robust, timezone-aware, and performant on intraday charts.
Tip: All times are interpreted in your chosen IANA timezone (default: America/New_York) and auto-handle DST. You can rename, recolor, enable/disable, and retime every window.
What it plots
- Killzones (5) : Asia (19:00–02:00), London (02:00–05:00), NY AM (07:00–09:30), London Close (10:00–12:00), NY PM (13:30–16:00) — full-height boxes with optional header.
- Macros (8) (defaults tailored for common ICT “refined” windows): Asia-1 (18:00–21:00), Asia-2 (21:00–00:00), London-1 (01:00–04:00), AM-1 (09:45–10:15), AM-2 (10:45–11:15), Lunch (12:00–13:00), PM-1 (13:30–14:30), Power Hour (15:10–16:00).
- Live High/Low lines for the current Macro/Killzone window.
- Optional HL extension to the right until price crosses or the trading day rolls (style selectable).
- “Next” previews : earliest upcoming Macro and Killzone header; optional next-window background band.
- Opening Prices (3 lightweight time lines) : defaults 00:00, 08:30, 09:30 with right-edge labels, scoped to a session you choose (auto-cleans at session end).
- Key inputs & styling
- General : Timezone (IANA), “Sessions to show” (per window) to keep only the last N completed windows.
- Header : height (ticks), gap (ticks), fill opacity, border width/style, text size/color, toggle “Next Macro/Killzone” headers.
- Boxes : global fill opacity, global border width/style (used by both Macros & Killzones).
- High/Low : show HL, HL line style, extend on/off + extension style, optional extension labels.
- Opening Prices : enable Time 1/2/3, set HH:MM for each, session window, per-line colors, style (dotted/dashed/solid), width.
- Per-window controls : each Macro/Killzone has Enable, Session (HHMM-HHMM), Label, Fill color.
How to use (quick start)
- Set Timezone to your preference (default America/New_York).
- Toggle on the Macros and Killzones you trade. Adjust session times if needed.
- (Optional) Turn on Extend High/Low to project levels until crossed/day-roll.
- (Optional) Enable Next… headers to see the next upcoming window at a glance.
- (Optional) Configure Opening Prices (00:00 / 08:30 / 09:30 by default) and the session over which they appear.
Behavior & notes
- Time windows are computed by clock, not by guessing bar timestamps, making them robust across brokers and timeframes.
- With HL extension on, the current window’s levels extend until crossed or the end of the trading day (in your timezone). With it off, completed windows keep static HL markers (limited by “Sessions to show”).
- “Sessions to show” applies per Macro/Killzone to automatically prune older windows and keep charts snappy.
- Opening-price lines exist only within the chosen “Opening Prices Session” and are removed when it ends (keeps charts clean).
Defaults (color cues)
Killzones: Asia (blue), London (purple), NY AM (green), London Close (yellow), NY PM (orange).
Macros: neutral greys with Lunch and PM accents out of the box (all customizable).
Performance tips
- Reduce “Sessions to show” if you scroll far back in history.
- Disable “Next…” previews and/or extension labels on very slow machines.
- Narrow the “Opening Prices Session” window to exactly when you need those lines.
Changelog highlights
- v1.1.5 : Internal refinements and stability.
- v1.1.3 : Live High/Low lines for current windows + optional extension.
- v1.1.2 : Added “next Killzone” preview (to match “next Macro”).
- v1.1.0 : Defaults updated (5 KZ, 8 Macros). Removed “snap-to-killzone” behavior.
- v1.0.0 : Independent Macro vs. Killzone rendering; cleaner header logic.
- Known limitations
If your chart warns about drawings, trim “Sessions to show”.
If your broker session times differ from NY hours, adjust the sessions or change the indicator timezone.

SMC Structures and Multi-Timeframe FVG PYSMC Structures and Multi-Timeframe FVG Indicator
Tip: For optimal performance, adjust the number of FVGs displayed per timeframe in the settings. On high-performance devices, up to 8 FVGs per timeframe can be used without issues. If you experience slowdowns, reduce to 3 or 4 FVGs per timeframe. If the chart flashes, disable indicators one by one to identify conflicts, or try using the TradingView Mobile or Windows App for a smoother experience.
Overview
This Pine Script indicator enhances market analysis by integrating Smart Money Concepts (SMC) with Fair Value Gaps (FVG) across multiple timeframes. It identifies trend continuations (Break of Structure, BOS) and trend reversals (Change of Character, CHoCH) while highlighting liquidity zones through FVG detection. The indicator includes eight customizable Moving Average (MA) curve templates, disabled by default, to complement SMC and FVG analysis. Its originality lies in combining multi-timeframe FVG detection with SMC structure analysis, providing traders with a cohesive tool to visualize price action patterns and liquidity zones efficiently.
Features and Functionality
1. Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
The indicator detects and displays bullish, bearish, and mitigated FVGs, representing liquidity zones where price inefficiencies occur. These gaps are dynamically updated based on price action:
Bullish FVG: Displayed in green when unmitigated, indicating potential upward liquidity zones.
Bearish FVG: Displayed in red when unmitigated, signaling potential downward liquidity zones.
Mitigated FVG: Shown in gray once the gap is partially filled by price action.
Fully Mitigated FVG: Automatically removed from the chart when the gap is fully filled, reducing visual clutter.
Users can customize the number of historical FVGs displayed via the settings, allowing focus on recent liquidity zones for targeted analysis.
2. SMC Structures
The indicator identifies key SMC price action patterns:
Break of Structure (BOS): Marked with gray lines, indicating trend continuation when price breaks a significant high or low.
Change of Character (CHoCH): Highlighted with yellow lines, signaling potential trend reversals when price fails to maintain the current structure.
High/Low Values: Blue lines denote the highest high and lowest low of the current structure, providing reference points for market context.
3. Multi-Timeframe FVG Analysis
A standout feature is the ability to analyze FVGs across multiple timeframes simultaneously. This allows traders to align higher-timeframe liquidity zones with lower-timeframe entries, improving trade precision. The indicator fetches FVG data from user-selected timeframes, displaying them cohesively on the chart.
4. Moving Average (MA) Templates
The indicator includes eight customizable MA curve templates in the Settings > Template section, disabled by default. These templates allow users to overlay MAs (e.g., SMA, EMA, WMA) to complement SMC and FVG analysis. Each template is pre-configured with different periods and types, enabling quick adaptation to various trading strategies, such as trend confirmation or dynamic support/resistance.
How It Works
The script processes price action to detect FVGs by analyzing three-candle patterns where a gap forms between the high/low of the first and third candles. Multi-timeframe data is retrieved using Pine Script’s request.security() function, ensuring accurate FVG plotting across user-defined timeframes. BOS and CHoCH are identified by tracking swing highs and lows, with logic to differentiate trend continuation from reversals. The MA templates are computed using standard Pine Script TA functions, with user inputs controlling visibility and parameters.
How to Use
Add to Chart: Apply the indicator to any TradingView chart.
Configure Settings:
FVG Settings: Adjust the number of historical FVGs to display (default: 10). Enable/disable specific FVG types (bullish, bearish, mitigated).
Timeframe Selection: Choose up to three timeframes for FVG analysis (e.g., 1H, 4H, 1D) to align with your trading strategy.
Structure Settings: Toggle BOS (gray lines) and CHoCH (yellow lines) visibility. Adjust sensitivity for structure detection if needed.
MA Templates: Enable MA curves via the Template section. Select from eight pre-configured MA types and periods to suit your analysis.
Interpret Signals:
Use green/red FVGs for potential entry points targeting liquidity zones.
Monitor gray lines (BOS) for trend continuation and yellow lines (CHoCH) for reversal signals.
Align multi-timeframe FVGs with BOS/CHoCH for high-probability setups.
Optionally, use MA curves for trend confirmation or dynamic levels.
Clean Chart Usage: The indicator is designed to work standalone. Ensure no conflicting scripts are applied unless explicitly needed for your strategy.
Why This Indicator Is Unique
Unlike standalone FVG or SMC indicators, this script combines both concepts with multi-timeframe analysis, offering a comprehensive view of market structure and liquidity. The addition of customizable MA templates enhances flexibility, while the dynamic removal of mitigated FVGs keeps the chart clean. This mashup is purposeful, as it integrates complementary tools to streamline decision-making for traders using SMC strategies.
Credits
This indicator builds on foundational SMC and FVG concepts from the TradingView community. Some open-source code was reused, and do performance enhancement as you guys can read the code. This type of indicators has inspiration was drawn from public domain SMC methodologies. All code is partly original with manual work on performance optimization in Pine Script.
Notes
Ensure your chart is clean (no unnecessary drawings or indicators) to maximize clarity.
The indicator is open-source, and traders are encouraged to review the code for deeper understanding.
For optimal use, test the indicator on a demo account to familiarize yourself with its signals.
Breakout Score (0–100)Breakouts are often the trader's best setups. Often seen on the chart as wedges and flags, consolidation before a pop up or down. This script attempts to visualize breakout potential with gradients in the background. I built this to place on my side charts to quickly visualize that a setup was forming.
For this indicator, Breakouts have generally been assumed as:
Decrease in average volume over N candles
Proximity to VWAP
Convergence/cross of price to the 9, 20 and 50 EMAs
Range compression (formation of flag or consolidation)
each of these factors are scored and rated. Multiple signals exponentially increase the gradient. Depending on the score, the chart will display a visual gradient behind the chart. Color, opacity and filtering fully customizable.

Multi-Timeframe MACD with Color Mix (Nikko)Multi-Timeframe MACD with Color Mix (Nikko) Indicator
This documentation explains the benefits of the "Multi-Timeframe MACD with Color Mix (Nikko)" indicator for traders and provides easy-to-follow steps on how to use it. Written as of 05:06 AM +07 on Saturday, October 04, 2025, this guide focuses on helping you, as a trader, get the most out of this tool with clear, practical advice before diving into the technical details.
Benefits for Traders
1. Multi-Timeframe Insight
This indicator lets you see momentum trends across 15-minute, 1-hour, 1-day, and 1-week timeframes all on one chart. This big-picture view helps you catch both quick market moves and long-term trends without flipping between charts, saving you time and giving you a fuller understanding of the market.
2. Visual Momentum Representation
The background changes from red to green based on short-term (15m) momentum, giving you a quick, easy-to-see signal—red means bearish (prices might drop), and green means bullish (prices might rise). The histogram uses a mix of red, green, and blue colors to show the combined strength of the 1-hour, 1-day, and 1-week timeframes, helping you spot strong trends at a glance (e.g., a bright mix for strong momentum, darker for weaker).
3. Enhanced Decision-Making
The background and histogram colors work together to confirm trends across different timeframes, making it less likely you’ll act on a false signal. This helps you feel more confident when deciding when to buy, sell, or hold.
4. Proactive Alert System
You can set alerts to notify you when the percentage of bullish timeframes hits your chosen levels (e.g., below 10% for bearish, above 90% for bullish). This keeps you in the loop on big momentum shifts without needing to watch the chart all day—perfect for when you’re busy.
5. Flexibility and Efficiency
You can turn timeframes on or off, adjust settings like speed of the moving averages, and tweak transparency to fit your trading style—whether you’re a fast scalper or a patient swing trader. Everything is shown on one chart, saving you effort, and the colors make it simple to read, even if you’re new to trading.
How to Use It
Getting Started
Add the Indicator: Load the "Multi-Timeframe MACD with Color Mix (Nikko)" onto your TradingView chart using the Pine Script editor or indicator library.
Pick Your Timeframes: Turn on the timeframes that match your trading—use 15m and 1h for quick trades, or 1d and 1w for longer holds—using the enable_15m, enable_1h, enable_1d, enable_1w, and enable_background options.
Reading the Colors
Background Gradient: Watch for red to signal bearish 15m momentum and green for bullish momentum. Adjust the Background_transparency (default 75%, or 25% opacity) if the chart feels too busy—try lowering it to 50 for clearer candlesticks in fast markets.
Histogram and EMA Colors:
The histogram and its Exponential Moving Average (EMA) line show a mix of red (1-week), green (1-day), and blue (1-hour) based on how strong the momentum is in each timeframe.
Brighter colors mean stronger momentum—white (all bright) shows all timeframes are pushing up hard, while darker shades (like gray or black) mean weaker or mixed momentum.
Turn off a timeframe (e.g., enable_1h = false) to see how it changes the color mix and focus on what matters to you.
Setting Alerts
Set Your Levels: Choose a threshold_low (default 10%) and threshold_high (default 90%) based on your comfort zone or past market patterns to catch big turns.
Get Notifications: Use TradingView alerts to get pings when the market hits your set levels, so you can act without staring at the screen.
Practical Tips
Pair with Other Tools: Use it with support/resistance lines or the RSI to double-check your moves and build a solid plan.
Tweak Settings: Adjust fast_length, slow_length, and signal_smoothing to match your asset’s speed, and bump up the lookback (default 50) for steadier trends in wild markets.
Practice First: Test different timeframe combos on a demo account to find what works best for you.
Understanding the Colors (Simple Explanation)
How Colors Work
The histogram and its EMA line use a color mix based on a simple idea from color theory, like mixing paints with red, green, and blue (RGB):
Red comes from the 1-week timeframe, green from 1-day, and blue from 1-hour.
When all three timeframes show strong upward momentum, they blend into bright white—the brightest color, like a super-bright light telling you the market’s roaring up.
If some timeframes are weak or pulling down, the mix gets darker (like gray or black), warning you the momentum might not be solid.
Brighter is Better
Bright Colors = Strong Opportunity: The brighter the histogram and EMA (closer to white), the more all your chosen timeframes are in agreement that prices are rising. This is your signal to think about buying or holding, as it points to a powerful trend you can ride.
Dark Colors = Caution: A darker mix (toward black) means some timeframes are lagging or bearish, suggesting you might wait or consider selling. It’s like a dim light saying, “Hold on, check again.”
Benefit in Practice: Watching the brightness helps you jump on the best trades fast. For example, a bright white histogram on a green background is like a green traffic light—go for it! A dark gray on red is like a red light—pause and rethink. This quick color check can save you from bad moves and boost your profits when the trend is strong.
Why It Helps
These colors are your fast friend in trading. A bright histogram means all your timeframes are cheering for an uptrend, giving you the confidence to act. A dull one tells you to be careful, helping you avoid traps. It’s like having a color-coded guide to pick the hottest market moments!

NASDAQ VWAP Distance Histogram (Multi-Symbol)📊 VWAP Distance Histogram (Multi-Symbol)
This custom indicator plots a histogram of price strength relative to the VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price).
The zero line is VWAP.
Histogram bars above zero = price trading above VWAP (strength).
Histogram bars below zero = price trading below VWAP (weakness).
Unlike a standard VWAP overlay, this tool lets you monitor multiple symbols at once and aggregates them into a single, easy-to-read histogram.
🔑 Features
Multi-Symbol Support → Track up to 10 different tickers plus the chart symbol.
Aggregation Options → Choose between average or median deviation across enabled symbols.
Percent or Raw Values → Display distance from VWAP as % of price or raw price points.
Smoothing → Apply EMA smoothing to calm intraday noise.
Color-Coded Histogram → Green above VWAP, red below.
Alerts → Trigger when the aggregate crosses above/below VWAP.
Heads-Up Table → Shows number of symbols tracked and current aggregate reading.
⚡ Use Cases
Market Breadth via VWAP → Monitor whether your basket of stocks is trading above or below VWAP.
Index Substitution → Create your own “mini index” by tracking a hand-picked set of tickers.
Intraday Confirmation → Use aggregate VWAP strength/weakness to confirm entries and exits.
Relative Strength Spotting → Switch on/off specific tickers to see who’s holding above VWAP vs. breaking down.
🛠️ Settings
Include Chart Symbol → Toggle to include the current chart’s ticker.
Smoothing → EMA length (set to 0 to disable).
Percent Mode → Show results as % of price vs. raw difference.
Aggregate Mode → Average or median across all active symbols.
Symbol Slots (S1–S10) → Enter tickers to track alongside the chart.
⚠️ Notes
Works best on intraday charts since VWAP is session-based.
Designed for confirmation, not as a standalone entry/exit signal.
Ensure correct symbol format (e.g., NASDAQ:AAPL if needed).
✅ Tip: Combine this with your regular price action strategy. For example, if your setup triggers long and the histogram is well above zero, that’s added confirmation. If it’s below zero, caution — the basket shows weakness.
