BINANCE-BYBIT Cross Chart: Spot-Perpetual CorrelationName: "Binance-Bybit Cross Chart: Spot-Perpetual Correlation"
Category: Scalping, Trend Analysis
Timeframe: 1M, 5M, 30M, 1D (depending on the specific technique)
Technical analysis: This indicator facilitates a comparison between the price movements shown on the Binance spot chart and the Bybit perpetual chart, with the aim of discerning the correlation between the two charts and identifying the dominant market trends. It automatically generates the corresponding chart based on the ticker selected in the primary chart. When a Binance pair is selected in the main chart, the indicator replicates the Bybit perpetual chart for the same pair and timeframe, and vice versa, selecting the Bybit perpetual chart as the primary chart generates the Binance spot chart.
Suggested use: You can utilize this tool to conduct altcoin trading on Binance or Bybit, facilitating the comparison of price actions and real-time monitoring of trigger point sensitivity across both exchanges. We recommend prioritizing the Binance Spot chart in the main panel due to its typically longer historical data availability compared to Bybit.
The primary objective is to efficiently and automatically manage the following three aspects:
- Data history analysis for higher timeframes, leveraging the extensive historical data of the Binance spot market. Variations in indicators such as slow moving averages may arise due to differences in historical data between exchanges.
- Assessment of coin liquidity on both exchanges by observing candlestick consistency on smaller timeframes or the absence of gaps. In the crypto market, clean charts devoid of gaps indicate dominance and offer enhanced reliability.
- Identification of precise trigger point levels, including daily, previous day, or previous week highs and lows, which serve as sensitive areas for breakout or reversal operations.
All-Time High (ATH) and All-Time Low (ATL) levels may vary significantly across exchanges due to disparities in historical data series.
This tool empowers traders to make informed decisions by leveraging historical data, liquidity insights, and precise trigger point identification across Binance Spot and Bybit Perpetual market.

Renko Box Chart Overlay by BDThis is Renko chart overlay for Candles chart. You can use it to identify market direction and potential key points.
To use it simply select box size and any timeframe you want.
With this overlay you can be sure that you'll see every brick on a chart showing general market direction with all the details of a candles chart.
Alternatives Renko overlay charts:
If you don't have access to 1s timeframe or you don't want to use low TF here is the situation with built in Renko chart on 5m TF:
This Renko boxes are linked to chart by time(candle) and price. It will draw a box even if price didn't close above(or below) of box level:
But be careful when setting box size too small because it will produce bad results:
The issue is known and I'll work on fixing it in next update, for now use box size at least the size of a body of a candle, after all renko is for general market movement and not for marking up every tick.
Let me know if you want to see any additions.
Opening Range Gap + Std Dev [starclique]The ICT Opening Range Gap is a concept taught by Inner Circle Trader and is discussed in the videos: 'One Trading Setup For Life' and 2023 ICT Mentorship - Opening Range Gap Repricing Macro
ORGs, or Opening Range Gaps, are gaps that form only on the Regular Trading Hours chart.
The Regular Trading Hours gap occurs between 16:15 PM - 9:29 AM EST (UTC-4)
These times are considered overnight trading, so it is useful to filter the PA (price action) formed there.
The RTH option is only available for futures contracts and continuous futures from CME Group.
To change your chart to RTH, first things first, make sure you’re looking at a futures contract for an asset class, then on the bottom right of your chart, you’ll see ETH (by default) - Click on that, and change it to RTH.
Now your charts are filtering the price action that happened overnight.
To draw out your gap, use the Close of the 4:14 PM candle and the open of the 9:30 AM candle.
How is this concept useful?
Well, It can be used in many ways.

How To Use The ORG
One of the ways you can use the opening range gap is simply as support and resistance
If we extend out the ORG from the example above, we can see that there is a clean retest of the opening range gap high after breaking structure to the upside and showing acceptance outside of the gap after consolidating within it.
The ORG High (4:14 Candle Close in this case) was used as support.
We then see an expansion to the upside.
Another way to implement the ORG is by using it as a draw on liquidity (magnet for price)
In this example, if we looked to the left, there was a huge ORG to the downside, leaving a massive gap.
The market will want to rebalance that gap during the regular trading hours.
The market rallies higher, rejects, comes down to clear the current days ORG low, then closes.
That is one example of how you can combine liquidity & ICT market structure concepts with Opening Range Gaps to create a story in the charts.
Now let’s discuss standard deviations.
---
Standard Deviations
Standard Deviations are essentially projection levels for ranges / POIs (Point of Interests)
By this I mean, if you have a range, and you would like to see where it could potentially expand to, you’d place your fibonacci retracement tool on and high and low of the range, then use extension levels to find specific price points where price might reject from.
Since 0 and 1 are your Range High and Low respectively, your projection levels would be something like 1.5, 2, 2.5, and 3, for the extension from your 1 Fib Level, and -0.5, -1, -1.5, and -2 for your 0 Fib level.
The -1 and 2 level produce a 1:1 projection of your range low and high, meaning, if you expect price to expand as much as it did from the range low to range high, then you can project a -1 and 2 on your Fib, and it would show you what ICT calls “symmetrical price”
Now, how are standard deviations relevant here?
Well, if you’ve been paying attention to ICT’s recent videos, you would’ve caught that he’s recently started using Standard Deviation levels on breakers.
So my brain got going while watching his video on ORGs, and I decided to place the fib on the ORG high and low and see what it’d produce.
The results were very interesting.
Using this same example, if we place our fib on the ORG High and Low, and add some projection levels, we can see that we rejected right at the -2 Standard Deviation Level.
---
You can see that I also marked out the EQ (Equilibrium, 50%, 0.5 of Fib) of the ORG. This is because we can use this level as a take profit level if we’re using an old ORG as our draw.
In days like these, where the gap formed was within a consolidation, and it continued to consolidate within the ORG zone that we extended, we can use the EQ in the same way we’d use an EQ for a range.
If it’s showing acceptance above the EQ, we are bullish, and expect the high of the ORG to be tapped, and vice versa.
---
Using The Indicator
Here’s where our indicator comes in play.
To avoid having to do all this work of zooming in and marking out the close and open of the respective ORG candles, we created the Opening Range Gap + Standard Deviations Indicator, with the help of our dedicated Star Clique coder, a1tmaniac.
With the ORG + STD DEV indicator, you will be able to view ORG’s and their projections on the ETH (Electronic Trading Hours) chart.

EquiVolume [LuxAlgo]EquiVolume is a charting method that aims to incorporate volume information to a candlestick chart. Volume is highlighted through the candle body width, with wider candles suggesting more significant volume.
Our script shows an EquiVolume chart for the visible chart range. Additionally regular volume can be plotted as a column plot with the column's width controlled by volume.
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹 Options
Chart: Shows candles with volume adjusted width.
Volume: Shows volume with volume adjusted width.
🔹 Intrabar Analysis
Enable/disable: When LTF is enabled, the script will calculate the % volume/candles in the same direction than current timeframe.
You can choose a LTF between 1 and 240 minutes.
Type %:
- Volume: sum of volume of all LTF candles, which are in the same direction.
- #bars: sum of all LTF candles, which are in the same direction.
🔹 Width Boxes (bars)
Minimum width: sets the minimum width of a box (candle/volume)
Maximum width: sets the maximum width of a box (candle/volume)
🔶 USAGE
This charting method makes it easier to spot large volume candles, against comparing candles to volume.
Another example:
Additionally, users can make the script perform an intrabar analysis on the chart candles, allowing to highlight bullish/bearish activity within a candle. The script can estimate bullish/bearish trading activity within a candle or simply use intrabar candle signs.
Example
- 15-minute candle is green
- 10 1-minute candles (LTF) IN that 15-minute candle are green -> 10/15 = 66,667%
-> The current 15-minute candle will be 66,667% filled with green color.
Note that the script will draw everything from last visible bar at the right to left, as such you can scroll backwards, and the script will show you the data of the visible chart.
Scrolling back will return the following result:
🔶 REMARKS
When the LTF is too far apart from current timeframe, you should get an error. To prevent this, the LTF will automatically rise, giving no error.
When this happens, the adjusted LTF will be displayed. Do note, due to a maximum available LTF data, sometimes boxes won't always be visible (since there is no LTF data anymore)
To solve this, just elevate your LTF:
When the set LTF is higher than current TF, you would normally get an error as well.
This script will automatically adjust the LTF to current TF, together with a visible warning (no error though).
Due to the inability to draw a line in the space between bars, sometimes a wick won't be placed exactly in the middle.
Fair Value Gap - FVG - HistogramThis indicator uses a histogram to represent "fair value gaps" ("FVG"). FVG is a popular pattern among modern traders.
This document describes the purpose of the script and discusses the conceptual meaning of "fair value," as well as the connotations attached to it.
█🚀 Based on the previous script - improved clarity
This indicator is a modified version of the "Three Bar Gap (Simple Price Action - with 1 line plot)" indicator, which is also available as open source and can be applied to a chart as a complementary tool along with this indicator.
Differences:
The previous version introduced a "Threshold filter" to reduce the number of lines plotted on charts. This filter introduced two additional parameters for users to consider (ATR length and multiplier). These parameters made the indicator more complicated than intended.
To address this issue of having too many lines in the former version, I proposed a spin-off on this version: It's to consider plotting the magnitude of the FVGs on a histogram instead of using lines on a price chart. In my opinion, a histogram is more suitable for decision-making because it lays out data points side-by-side as bins, which makes comparisons much clearer.
Minor FVGs are expected to have smaller bins compared to their neighboring bins, and in extreme cases, the bins will become seemingly invisible due to the auto-adjusted scale of the y-axis. Therefore, there is no need to filter out any data, and all FVGs can be included in this spin-off version.
█🚀 Candlestick patterns - revisited
This script calculates the displacement of highs and lows over three consecutive bars.
A) Down move: When the high of the recent-confirmed bar is lower than the low of the previous-previous candle.
B) Up move: When the low of the recently-confirmed bar is higher than the high of the previous-previous candle.
█🚀 Parameters
Core Functionality
The purpose of this indicator is to generate bins representing the magnitude of FVGs in the form of a histogram to facilitate the visualization of price movements.
The act of "finding FVGs" does not require any inputs, but users can still customize the colors of the bins to indicate the direction of movement.
Auxiliary functionality: “Key level finder” by searching for large FVGs
The following inputs are optional, in fact, the entire feature can be toggled on/off.
In this example, setting the lookback at 20 means the script will generate a signal if the current histogram bin is taller than all previous bins over the past 20 bars.
█🚀 Applications
Tall histogram bins = key levels .
Traders should observe key levels for entry or exit opportunities.
It is important to note that this indicator was designed for standard time-based charts.
On a separate note, FVGs will not appear in Renko charts with fixed-size bricks. This is because the bricks align with their neighboring bricks. When the bricks are fixed, any displacement between highs and lows within less than or equal to three bars will be zero.
The concept of a "gap" is used to illustrate that price follows a jump-diffusion process, and time intervals can be assigned arbitrarily on the x-axis without needing fixed intervals. This idea was briefly discussed in the previous script's write-up.
█🚀 FAQ: Does it repaint?
No. And please continue reading.
Bins are plotted with a one-bar delay. It only takes one bar for the FVG to become confirmed. Lag is beneficial because it clarifies the need for traders to wait for the bar to close and for the signals to become confirmed before entering or exiting a trade. Experienced traders know that prices tend to retrace, so there is no need to chase. An added bar of delay proves to be useful.
█🚀 Opinion: The term “fair value” can be misleading
Those who come from traditional finance may find the term "fair value gap" somewhat insulting. When encountering the phrase, it can feel like a group of aliens from "Planet Technical Analysis" have intrusively landed on your planet and assertively redefined what "fair value" is supposed to mean.
So, what does "fair value" mean in the realm of technical analysis?
In the world of corporate finance, "fair value" is a subjective estimate of what buyers and sellers are hypothetically willing to pay or accept. Buy-side and sell-side analysts use their own methodologies to determine what constitutes "fair value". These approaches may be based on income, asset, or market comparables. Regardless of the approach used, subjectivity is inherent, and results depend on fundamental data provided by the numbers on financial statements. Valuations are unrelated to candlestick patterns .
When dealing with financial statements, finance professionals who are non-market-participants, such as those working in group reporting practices for reporting issuers, or those hired as external auditors, as required by regulators, may also question what constitutes "fair value". The main concerns always revolve around the assumptions used in valuation models; these are inputs that ultimately require management's judgment, and if not critically questioned, valuations as reported in the statements could end up becoming materially bogus. Both IFRS and U.S. GAAP define "fair value" with the same intended meaning in terms of definitions. We will not delve into the details here. The main point is that "fair value" from a financial reporting perspective has nothing to do with candlesticks .
If a price is already quoted in an actively traded market, you can refer to it to obtain what is known as "mark-to-market". This involves simply referring to the bid or ask price on the reporting date, and you're done - there's no need to read candlesticks !
"Fair value" is a neutral term used by finance professionals in all domains. It is not meant to imply that something is actually "fair." Paying the "fair value" for an asset can still result in overpaying or underpaying for what the asset is worth, depending on different model assumptions. The point is, candlesticks are irrelevant to the analysis of what is considered "fair value" in the realm of traditional finance.
That being said, there is no definitive answer as to why people refer to this pattern as a "fair value gap". It's like one of those oddball interview questions asking you to explain why tennis balls are fuzzy. Whatever answer you give, it's important to note that the subject itself is trivial.
Emphasis of matter on why "fair value" can be misleading
The previous paragraphs were not intended to attack ideas from the realm of technical analysis, nor to assert the true meaning, or lack of meaning, of the term "fair value". Words are constantly evolving. If the term "fair value gap" becomes more widely used to describe the displacement of highs and lows over three bars, then let's call it a "fair value gap".
To be clear, I argue that the term "fair value gap" should not be given a positive connotation. Traders should interpret the word "fair" neutrally. Although these signals occur frequently, if you trade every time there is a signal, you will overtrade and incur astronomical transaction costs over the long run, which can lead to losses.
█🚀 Conclusion:
In the end, what matters is how you apply FVG to trading. As mentioned in the "Applications" section above, traders should look for large FVGs - indicated by tall histogram bins - to identify key levels.
CVD - Cumulative Volume Delta (Chart)█ OVERVIEW
This indicator displays cumulative volume delta (CVD) as an on-chart oscillator. It uses intrabar analysis to obtain more precise volume delta information compared to methods that only use the chart's timeframe.
The core concepts in this script come from our first CVD indicator , which displays CVD values as plot candles in a separate indicator pane. In this script, CVD values are scaled according to price ranges and represented on the main chart pane.
█ CONCEPTS
Bar polarity
Bar polarity refers to the position of the close price relative to the open price. In other words, bar polarity is the direction of price change.
Intrabars
Intrabars are chart bars at a lower timeframe than the chart's. Each 1H chart bar of a 24x7 market will, for example, usually contain 60 bars at the lower timeframe of 1min, provided there was market activity during each minute of the hour. Mining information from intrabars can be useful in that it offers traders visibility on the activity inside a chart bar.
Lower timeframes (LTFs)
A lower timeframe is a timeframe that is smaller than the chart's timeframe. This script utilizes a LTF to analyze intrabars, or price changes within a chart bar. The lower the LTF, the more intrabars are analyzed, but the less chart bars can display information due to the limited number of intrabars that can be analyzed.
Volume delta
Volume delta is a measure that separates volume into "up" and "down" parts, then takes the difference to estimate the net demand for the asset. This approach gives traders a more detailed insight when analyzing volume and market sentiment. There are several methods for determining whether an asset's volume belongs in the "up" or "down" category. Some indicators, such as On Balance Volume and the Klinger Oscillator , use the change in price between bars to assign volume values to the appropriate category. Others, such as Chaikin Money Flow , make assumptions based on open, high, low, and close prices. The most accurate method involves using tick data to determine whether each transaction occurred at the bid or ask price and assigning the volume value to the appropriate category accordingly. However, this method requires a large amount of data on historical bars, which can limit the historical depth of charts and the number of symbols for which tick data is available.
In the context where historical tick data is not yet available on TradingView, intrabar analysis is the most precise technique to calculate volume delta on historical bars on our charts. This indicator uses intrabar analysis to achieve a compromise between simplicity and accuracy in calculating volume delta on historical bars. Our Volume Profile indicators use it as well. Other volume delta indicators in our Community Scripts , such as the Realtime 5D Profile , use real-time chart updates to achieve more precise volume delta calculations. However, these indicators aren't suitable for analyzing historical bars since they only work for real-time analysis.
This is the logic we use to assign intrabar volume to the "up" or "down" category:
• If the intrabar's open and close values are different, their relative position is used.
• If the intrabar's open and close values are the same, the difference between the intrabar's close and the previous intrabar's close is used.
• As a last resort, when there is no movement during an intrabar and it closes at the same price as the previous intrabar, the last known polarity is used.
Once all intrabars comprising a chart bar are analyzed, we calculate the net difference between "up" and "down" intrabar volume to produce the volume delta for the chart bar.
█ FEATURES
CVD resets
The "cumulative" part of the indicator's name stems from the fact that calculations accumulate during a period of time. By periodically resetting the volume delta accumulation, we can analyze the progression of volume delta across manageable chunks, which is often more useful than looking at volume delta accumulated from the beginning of a chart's history.
You can configure the reset period using the "CVD Resets" input, which offers the following selections:
• None : Calculations do not reset.
• On a fixed higher timeframe : Calculations reset on the higher timeframe you select in the "Fixed higher timeframe" field.
• At a fixed time that you specify.
• At the beginning of the regular session .
• On trend changes : Calculations reset on the direction change of either the Aroon indicator, Parabolic SAR , or Supertrend .
• On a stepped higher timeframe : Calculations reset on a higher timeframe automatically stepped using the chart's timeframe and following these rules:
Chart TF HTF
< 1min 1H
< 3H 1D
<= 12H 1W
< 1W 1M
>= 1W 1Y
Specifying intrabar precision
Ten options are included in the script to control the number of intrabars used per chart bar for calculations. The greater the number of intrabars per chart bar, the fewer chart bars can be analyzed.
The first five options allow users to specify the approximate amount of chart bars to be covered:
• Least Precise (Most chart bars) : Covers all chart bars by dividing the current timeframe by four.
This ensures the highest level of intrabar precision while achieving complete coverage for the dataset.
• Less Precise (Some chart bars) & More Precise (Less chart bars) : These options calculate a stepped LTF in relation to the current chart's timeframe.
• Very precise (2min intrabars) : Uses the second highest quantity of intrabars possible with the 2min LTF.
• Most precise (1min intrabars) : Uses the maximum quantity of intrabars possible with the 1min LTF.
The stepped lower timeframe for "Less Precise" and "More Precise" options is calculated from the current chart's timeframe as follows:
Chart Timeframe Lower Timeframe
Less Precise More Precise
< 1hr 1min 1min
< 1D 15min 1min
< 1W 2hr 30min
> 1W 1D 60min
The last five options allow users to specify an approximate fixed number of intrabars to analyze per chart bar. The available choices are 12, 24, 50, 100, and 250. The script will calculate the LTF which most closely approximates the specified number of intrabars per chart bar. Keep in mind that due to factors such as the length of a ticker's sessions and rounding of the LTF, it is not always possible to produce the exact number specified. However, the script will do its best to get as close to the value as possible.
As there is a limit to the number of intrabars that can be analyzed by a script, a tradeoff occurs between the number of intrabars analyzed per chart bar and the chart bars for which calculations are possible.
Display
This script displays raw or cumulative volume delta values on the chart as either line or histogram oscillator zones scaled according to the price chart, allowing traders to visualize volume activity on each bar or cumulatively over time. The indicator's background shows where CVD resets occur, demarcating the beginning of new zones. The vertical axis of each oscillator zone is scaled relative to the one with the highest price range, and the oscillator values are scaled relative to the highest volume delta. A vertical offset is applied to each oscillator zone so that the highest oscillator value aligns with the lowest price. This method ensures an accurate, intuitive visual comparison of volume activity within zones, as the scale is consistent across the chart, and oscillator values sit below prices. The vertical scale of oscillator zones can be adjusted using the "Zone Height" input in the script settings.
This script displays labels at the highest and lowest oscillator values in each zone, which can be enabled using the "Hi/Lo Labels" input in the "Visuals" section of the script settings. Additionally, the oscillator's value on a chart bar is displayed as a tooltip when a user hovers over the bar, which can be enabled using the "Value Tooltips" input.
Divergences occur when the polarity of volume delta does not match that of the chart bar. The script displays divergences as bar colors and background colors that can be enabled using the "Color bars on divergences" and "Color background on divergences" inputs.
An information box in the lower-left corner of the indicator displays the HTF used for resets, the LTF used for intrabars, the average quantity of intrabars per chart bar, and the number of chart bars for which there is LTF data. This is enabled using the "Show information box" input in the "Visuals" section of the script settings.
FOR Pine Script™ CODERS
• This script utilizes `ltf()` and `ltfStats()` from the lower_tf library.
The `ltf()` function determines the appropriate lower timeframe from the selected calculation mode and chart timeframe, and returns it in a format that can be used with request.security_lower_tf() .
The `ltfStats()` function, on the other hand, is used to compute and display statistical information about the lower timeframe in an information box.
• The script utilizes display.data_window and display.status_line to restrict the display of certain plots.
These new built-ins allow coders to fine-tune where a script’s plot values are displayed.
• The newly added session.isfirstbar_regular built-in allows for resetting the CVD segments at the start of the regular session.
• The VisibleChart library developed by our resident PineCoders team leverages the chart.left_visible_bar_time and chart.right_visible_bar_time variables to optimize the performance of this script.
These variables identify the opening time of the leftmost and rightmost visible bars on the chart, allowing the script to recalculate and draw objects only within the range of visible bars as the user scrolls.
This functionality also enables the scaling of the oscillator zones.
These variables are just a couple of the many new built-ins available in the chart.* namespace.
For more information, check out this blog post or look them up by typing "chart." in the Pine Script™ Reference Manual .
• Our ta library has undergone significant updates recently, including the incorporation of the `aroon()` indicator used as a method for resetting CVD segments within this script.
Revisit the library to see more of the newly added content!

VisibleChart█ OVERVIEW
This library is a Pine programmer’s tool containing functions that return values calculated from the range of visible bars on the chart.
This is now possible in Pine Script™ thanks to the recently-released chart.left_visible_bar_time and chart.right_visible_bar_time built-ins, which return the opening time of the leftmost and rightmost bars on the chart. These values update as traders scroll or zoom their charts, which gives way to a class of indicators that can dynamically recalculate and draw visuals on visible bars only, as users scroll or zoom their charts. We hope this library's functions help you make the most of the world of possibilities these new built-ins provide for Pine scripts.
For an example of a script using this library, have a look at the Chart VWAP indicator.
█ CONCEPTS
Chart properties
The new chart.left_visible_bar_time and chart.right_visible_bar_time variables 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 .
Dynamic recalculation of scripts on visible bars
Any script using chart.left_visible_bar_time or chart.right_visible_bar_time acquires a unique property, which triggers its recalculation when traders scroll or zoom their charts in such a way that the range of visible bars on the chart changes. This library's functions use the two recent built-ins to derive various values from the range of visible bars.
Designing your scripts for dynamic recalculation
For the library's functions to work correctly, they must be called on every bar. For reliable results, assign their results to global variables and then use the variables locally where needed — not the raw function calls.
Some functions like `barIsVisible()` or `open()` will return a value starting on the leftmost visible bar. Others such as `high()` or `low()` will also return a value starting on the leftmost visible bar, but their correct value can only be known on the rightmost visible bar, after all visible bars have been analyzed by the script.
You can plot values as the script executes on visible bars, but efficient code will, when possible, create resource-intensive labels, lines or tables only once in the global scope using var , and then use the setter functions to modify their properties on the last bar only. The example code included in this library uses this method.
Keep in mind that when your script uses chart.left_visible_bar_time or chart.right_visible_bar_time , your script will recalculate on all bars each time the user scrolls or zooms their chart. To provide script users with the best experience you should strive to keep calculations to a minimum and use efficient code so that traders are not always waiting for your script to recalculate every time they scroll or zoom their chart.
Another aspect to consider is the fact that the rightmost visible bar will not always be the last bar in the dataset. When script users scroll back in time, a large portion of the time series the script calculates on may be situated after the rightmost visible bar. We can never assume the rightmost visible bar is also the last bar of the time series. Use `barIsVisible()` to restrict calculations to visible bars, but also consider that your script can continue to execute past them.
Look first. Then leap.

Tick Chart RSIHello All,
This is Tick Chart RSI script and it calculates & shows RSI for Tick Chart. What is Tick chart? Tick Chart is created using ticks and each candlestick in Tick Chart shows the price variation of X consecutive ticks (X : Number of Ticks Per Candle). For example if you set "Number of Ticks Per Candle" = 100 then each candlestick is created using 100 ticks. so, Tick Charts are NOT time-based charts (like Renko or Point & Figure Charts). Tick is the price change in minimum time interval defined in the platform. There are several advantages of Tick Charts. You can find many articles about Tick Charts on the net.
Tick Chart and Tick Chart RSI only work on realtime bars.
You can set " Number of Ticks Per Candle " and the colors. You can also set any of the candles OHLC values as source for RSI.
While using Tick Chart RSI I recommend you to add Tick Chart as well.
P.S. Tick Chart RSI script can be developed using different methods. in this script, all RSI values are calculated on each tick because RSI is calculated for only real-time bars, and also calculated for limited number of bars
Tick Chart and Tick Chart RSI:
Tick Chart RSI:
Enjoy!

Breakout Scanner with VWAP + RSI + MACD + Volume SpikePRICE & MOVING AVERAGES
🟠 MA(10), MA(50), MA(200)
Purpose: Track price trends over different time horizons
MA10 – Very short-term trend (micro pullbacks)
MA50 – Intermediate trend (support/resistance)
MA200 – Long-term sentiment (bullish or bearish overall)
Use: Crossovers indicate trend reversals. E.g., MA10 < MA50 = bearish.
📉 EMA(9), EMA(12), EMA(34)
EMA = Exponential Moving Average
Reacts faster than MA, used for quick entries/exits
Common Strategy: EMA 9 crossing below EMA 34 → short signal
You’re currently in a downtrend, as all EMAs slope down and price is below them.
🔵 VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price)
Purpose: Institutional benchmark
Traders use VWAP as a mean reversion level.
If price is below VWAP → bearish control; above → bullish control.
In your chart: QQQ is below VWAP, suggesting institutional selling.
📊 BOLL(20) = Bollinger Bands
Tracks volatility using 20-period MA ± 2 std. dev.
Bands widen when volatility increases.
In your chart: Price is riding the lower band → bearish pressure
🔁 RSI(14) = Relative Strength Index

Supply/Demand Zones + Engulfment-based ExecutionSupply/Demand Zones + Engulfment-Based Execution
Strategy Overview
This strategy combines institutional trading concepts—supply/demand zones and engulfing candle patterns—to generate high-probability long and short trade setups. The system uses aggregated price action to identify potential reversal zones and confirms entries with engulfing candle patterns, ensuring trades are only taken when market structure shows commitment in the direction of the trade.
Core Concepts
• Supply & Demand Zones: These are automatically detected by analyzing aggregated bullish and bearish candle structures over user-defined intervals. Supply zones are formed after bearish continuation patterns; demand zones appear after bullish continuation patterns.
• Engulfing Entries: Once price enters a zone, the strategy waits for a bullish engulfing pattern (in a demand zone) or a bearish engulfing pattern (in a supply zone) before executing a trade. This adds confirmation and reduces false signals.
• Risk Management: Stop-loss is placed at the low (for long trades) or high (for short trades) of the engulfed candle. Take-profit can be calculated using a fixed R-multiple (risk-to-reward ratio) or a user-defined target price.
Key Features
Fully customizable aggregation factor for zone detection
Visual zone boxes, entry/SL/TP boxes, and engulfing pattern labels
Optional removal of mitigated zones for cleaner charting
Configurable trade mode (Long only, Short only, or Both)
Support for trading sessions and date filtering
Alerts for price entering supply or demand zones
How to Use
Select Aggregation Factor: Choose how many candles to group together for identifying key zones (e.g., 4x timeframe).
Enable Zones: Turn on supply and/or demand zones as needed.
Set Execution Parameters:
– Choose R-multiple (e.g., 2:1 risk-reward)
– Or use a fixed take-profit price
Define Trade Time Window:
– Set the date and time ranges to restrict execution
– Use Start Hour and End Hour to limit trades to specific sessions (e.g., London/New York)
Run on Desired Timeframe: Typically used on 15m–4H charts, depending on your strategy and the asset’s volatility.
Ideal For
• Traders using Smart Money Concepts (SMC)
• Those who value high-confluence entries
• Intraday to swing traders looking for structure-based automation
⚠️ Important Notes
• The strategy requires engulfing confirmation within the zone to enter a position.
• This script does not repaint and executes trades on a bar close basis.
• Backtest results may vary based on session filters and aggregation factor.

Stochastic RSI with MTF TableShort Description of the Script
The provided Pine Script indicator, titled "Stochastic RSI with MTF Table," calculates and displays the Stochastic RSI for the current timeframe and multiple other timeframes (5m, 15m, 30m, 60m, 240m, and daily). The Stochastic RSI is a momentum indicator that blends the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Stochastic Oscillator to identify overbought and oversold conditions, as well as potential trend reversals via K and D line crossovers.
Key features of the script include:
Inputs: Customizable parameters such as K smoothing (default 3), D smoothing (default 3), RSI length (default 14), Stochastic length (default 14), source price (default close), and overbought/oversold levels (default 80/20).
MTF Table: A table displays the Stochastic RSI status for each timeframe:
"OB" (overbought) if K > 80, "OS" (oversold) if K < 20, or "N" (neutral) otherwise.
Crossovers: "K↑D" for bullish (K crosses above D) and "K↓D" for bearish (K crosses below D).
Visualization: Plots the K and D lines for the current timeframe, with horizontal lines at 80 (overbought), 50 (middle), and 20 (oversold), plus a background fill for clarity.
Table Position: Configurable to appear in one of four chart corners (default: top-right).
This indicator helps traders assess momentum across multiple timeframes simultaneously, aiding in the identification of trend strength and potential entry/exit points.
Trading Strategy with 50EMA and 200EMA for Highest Winning Rate
To create a strategy with the best probability of a high winning rate using the Stochastic RSI MTF indicator alongside the 50-period Exponential Moving Average (50EMA) and 200-period Exponential Moving Average (200EMA), we can combine trend identification with momentum-based entry timing. The 50EMA and 200EMA are widely used to determine medium- and long-term trends, while the Stochastic RSI MTF table provides multi-timeframe momentum signals. Here’s the strategy:
1. Determine the Overall Trend
Bullish Trend: The 50EMA is above the 200EMA on the current timeframe (e.g., daily or 60m chart). This suggests an uptrend, often associated with a "Golden Cross."
Bearish Trend: The 50EMA is below the 200EMA on the current timeframe. This indicates a downtrend, often linked to a "Death Cross."
Implementation: Plot the 50EMA and 200EMA on your chart and visually confirm their relative positions.
2. Identify Entry Signals Using the Stochastic RSI MTF Table
In a Bullish Trend (50EMA > 200EMA):
Look for timeframes in the MTF table showing:
Oversold (OS): K < 20, indicating a potential pullback in the uptrend where price may rebound.
Bullish Crossover (K↑D): K crosses above D, signaling rising momentum and a potential entry point.
Example: If the 60m and 240m timeframes show "OS" or "K↑D," this could be a buy signal.
In a Bearish Trend (50EMA < 200EMA):
Look for timeframes in the MTF table showing:
Overbought (OB): K > 80, suggesting a rally in the downtrend where price may reverse downward.
Bearish Crossover (K↓D): K crosses below D, indicating declining momentum and a potential short entry.
Example: If the 30m and daily timeframes show "OB" or "K↓D," this could be a sell/short signal.
Current Timeframe Check: Use the plotted K and D lines on your trading timeframe for precise entry timing (e.g., confirm a K↑D crossover on a 60m chart for a long trade).
3. Confirm Signals Across Multiple Timeframes
Strengthen the Signal: A higher winning rate is more likely when multiple timeframes align with the trend and signal. For instance:
Bullish trend + "OS" or "K↑D" on 60m, 240m, and daily = strong buy signal.
Bearish trend + "OB" or "K↓D" on 15m, 60m, and 240m = strong sell signal.
Prioritize Higher Timeframes: Signals from the 240m or daily timeframe carry more weight due to their indication of broader trends, increasing reliability.
4. Set Stop-Loss and Take-Profit Levels
Long Trades (Bullish):
Stop-Loss: Place below the most recent swing low or below the 50EMA, whichever is closer, to protect against trend reversals.
Take-Profit: Target a key resistance level or use a risk-reward ratio (e.g., 2:1 or 3:1) based on the stop-loss distance.
Short Trades (Bearish):
Stop-Loss: Place above the most recent swing high or above the 50EMA, whichever is closer.
Take-Profit: Target a key support level or apply a similar risk-reward ratio.
Trailing Stop Option: As the trend progresses, trail the stop below the 50EMA (for longs) or above it (for shorts) to lock in profits.
5. Risk Management
Position Sizing: Risk no more than 1-2% of your trading capital per trade to minimize losses from false signals.
Volatility Consideration: Adjust stop-loss distances and position sizes based on the asset’s volatility (e.g., wider stops for volatile stocks or crypto).
Avoid Overtrading: Wait for clear alignment between the EMA trend and MTF signals to avoid low-probability setups.
Example Scenario
Chart: 60-minute timeframe.
Trend: 50EMA > 200EMA (bullish).
MTF Table: 60m shows "OS," 240m shows "K↑D," and daily is "N."
Action: Enter a long position when the 60m K line crosses above D, confirming the table signal.
Stop-Loss: Below the recent 60m swing low (e.g., 2% below entry).
Take-Profit: At the next resistance level or a 3:1 reward-to-risk ratio.
Outcome: High probability of success due to trend alignment and multi-timeframe confirmation.
Why This Strategy Works
Trend Following: Trading in the direction of the 50EMA/200EMA trend reduces the risk of fighting the market’s momentum.
Momentum Timing: The Stochastic RSI MTF table pinpoints pullbacks or reversals within the trend, improving entry timing.
Multi-Timeframe Confirmation: Alignment across timeframes filters out noise, increasing the win rate.
Risk Control: Defined stop-loss and position sizing protect against inevitable losses.
Caveats
No strategy guarantees a 100% win rate; false signals can occur, especially in choppy markets.
Test this strategy on historical data or a demo account to verify its effectiveness for your asset and timeframe.
This approach leverages the strengths of both trend-following (EMA) and momentum (Stochastic RSI) tools, aiming for a high-probability, disciplined trading system.

Time-Based Fair Value Gaps (FVG) with Inversions (iFVG)Overview
The Time-Based Fair Value Gaps (FVG) with Inversions (iFVG) (ICT/SMT) indicator is a specialized tool designed for traders using Inner Circle Trader (ICT) methodologies. Inspired by LuxAlgo's Fair Value Gap indicator, this script introduces significant enhancements by integrating ICT principles, focusing on precise time-based FVG detection, inversion tracking, and retest signals tailored for institutional trading strategies. Unlike LuxAlgo’s general FVG approach, this indicator filters FVGs within customizable 10-minute windows aligned with ICT’s macro timeframes and incorporates ICT-specific concepts like mitigation, liquidity grabs, and session-based gap prioritization.
This tool is optimized for 1–5 minute charts, though probably best for 1 minute charts, identifying bullish and bearish FVGs, tracking their mitigation into inverted FVGs (iFVGs) as key support/resistance zones, and generating retest signals with customizable “Close” or “Wick” confirmation. Features like ATR-based filtering, optional FVG labels, mitigation removal, and session-specific FVG detection (e.g., first FVG in AM/PM sessions) make it a powerful tool for ICT traders.
Originality and Improvements
While inspired by LuxAlgo’s FVG indicator (credit to LuxAlgo for their foundational work), this script significantly extends the original concept by:
1. Time-Based FVG Detection: Unlike LuxAlgo’s continuous FVG identification, this script filters FVGs within user-defined 10-minute windows each hour (:00–:10, :10–:20, etc.), aligning with ICT’s emphasis on specific periods of institutional activity, such as hourly opens/closes or kill zones (e.g., New York 7:00–11:00 AM EST). This ensures FVGs are relevant to high-probability ICT setups.
2. Session-Specific First FVG Option: A unique feature allows traders to display only the first FVG in ICT-defined AM (9:30–10:00 AM EST) or PM (1:30–2:00 PM EST) sessions, reflecting ICT’s focus on initial market imbalances during key liquidity events.
3. ICT-Driven Mitigation and Inversion Logic: The script tracks FVG mitigation (when price closes through a gap) and converts mitigated FVGs into iFVGs, which serve as ICT-style support/resistance zones. This aligns with ICT’s view that mitigated gaps become critical reversal points, unlike LuxAlgo’s simpler gap display.
4. Customizable Retest Signals: Retest signals for iFVGs are configurable for “Close” (conservative, requiring candle body confirmation) or “Wick” (faster, using highs/lows), catering to ICT traders’ need for precise entry timing during liquidity grabs or Judas swings.
5. ATR Filtering and Mitigation Removal: An optional ATR filter ensures only significant FVGs are displayed, reducing noise, while mitigation removal declutters the chart by removing filled gaps, aligning with ICT’s principle that mitigated gaps lose relevance unless inverted.
6. Timezone and Timeframe Safeguards: A timezone offset setting aligns FVG detection with EST for ICT’s New York-centric strategies, and a timeframe warning alerts users to avoid ≥1-hour charts, ensuring accuracy in time-based filtering.
These enhancements make the script a distinct tool that builds on LuxAlgo’s foundation while offering ICT traders a tailored, high-precision solution.
How It Works
FVG Detection
FVGs are identified when a candle’s low is higher than the high of two candles prior (bullish FVG) or a candle’s high is lower than the low of two candles prior (bearish FVG). Detection is restricted to:
• User-selected 10-minute windows (e.g., :00–:10, :50–:60) to capture ICT-relevant periods like hourly transitions.
• AM/PM session first FVGs (if enabled), focusing on 9:30–10:00 AM or 1:30–2:00 PM EST for key market opens.
An optional ATR filter (default: 0.25× ATR) ensures only gaps larger than the threshold are displayed, prioritizing significant imbalances.
Mitigation and Inversion
When price closes through an FVG (e.g., below a bullish FVG’s bottom), the FVG is mitigated and becomes an iFVG, plotted as a support/resistance zone. iFVGs are critical in ICT for identifying reversal points where institutional orders accumulate.
Retest Signals
The script generates signals when price retests an iFVG:
• Close: Triggers when the candle body confirms the retest (conservative, lower noise).
• Wick: Triggers when the candle’s high/low touches the iFVG (faster, higher sensitivity). Signals are visualized with triangular markers (▲ for bullish, ▼ for bearish) and can trigger alerts.
Visualization
• FVGs: Displayed as colored boxes (green for bullish, red for bearish) with optional “Bull FVG”/“Bear FVG” labels.
• iFVGs: Shown as extended boxes with dashed midlines, limited to the user-defined number of recent zones (default: 5).
• Mitigation Removal: Mitigated FVGs/iFVGs are removed (if enabled) to keep the chart clean.
How to Use
Recommended Settings
• Timeframe: Use 1–5 minute charts for precision, avoiding ≥1-hour timeframes (a warning label appears if misconfigured).
• Time Windows: Enable :00–:10 and :50–:60 for hourly open/close FVGs, or use the “Show only 1st presented FVG” option for AM/PM session focus.
• ATR Filter: Keep enabled (multiplier 0.25–0.5) for significant gaps; disable on 1-minute charts for more FVGs during volatility.
• Signal Preference: Use “Close” for conservative entries, “Wick” for aggressive setups.
• Timezone Offset: Set to -5 for EST (or -4 for EDT) to align with ICT’s New York session.

1. Macro Timeframes: Focus on New York (7:00–11:00 AM EST) or London (2:00–5:00 AM EST) kill zones for high institutional activity.
2. FVG Entries: Trade bullish FVGs as support in uptrends or bearish FVGs as resistance in downtrends, especially in :00–:10 or :50–:60 windows.
3. iFVG Retests: Enter on retest signals (▲/▼) during liquidity grabs or Judas swings, using “Close” for confirmation or “Wick” for speed.
4. Session FVGs: Use the “Show only 1st presented FVG” option to target the first gap in AM/PM sessions, often tied to ICT’s market maker algorithms.
5. Risk Management: Combine with ICT concepts like order blocks or breaker blocks for confluence, and set stops beyond FVG/iFVG boundaries.
