Stochastic Trend Signal with MTF FilterMulti-Timeframe Stochastic Trend Filter – Real Signals with Confirmation Candles
This script is a multi-timeframe Stochastic trend filter designed to help traders identify reliable BUY/SELL signals based on both momentum and higher-timeframe trend context.
It combines three key components:
Entry Signal Logic:
Entry is based on the Stochastic Oscillator (%K, 14,3), where overbought/oversold conditions are detected in the current chart's timeframe.
A green (bullish) candle following a red candle with %K below 20 can trigger a BUY signal.
A red (bearish) candle following a green candle with %K above 80 can trigger a SELL signal.
Trend Confirmation – Daily Filter:
The script uses Stochastic on the 1D (Daily) timeframe to determine whether short-term momentum aligns with a broader daily trend.
BUY signals are only allowed if the Daily %K is above 50.
SELL signals are only allowed if the Daily %K is below 50.
Long-Term Trend Filter – Weekly Stochastic:
A second filter uses Weekly %K:
BUY signals are suppressed if the Weekly trend is bearish (Weekly %K < 50) while Daily %K is bullish (> 50).
SELL signals are suppressed if the Weekly trend is bullish (Weekly %K > 50) while Daily %K is bearish (< 50).
🖼️ The chart background changes color to visually assist users:
Green background: bullish alignment on Daily and Weekly Stochastic.
Red background: bearish alignment.
Gray background: trend conflict (Daily and Weekly disagree).
✅ This script is ideal for swing traders or position traders who want to enter with confirmation while avoiding false signals during trend conflict zones.
🔔 Alerts are provided for BUY and SELL signals once all conditions are met.
How to use:
Apply on timeframe (4H recommended).
Add alerts for "BUY Alert" and "SELL Alert".
Use background color and plotted labels as entry filters.
Disclaimer: This is not financial advice. Always use proper risk management and test on demo accounts first.

DA Cloud - DynamicDA Cloud - Dynamic | Detailed Overview
🌟 What Makes This Indicator Special
The DA Cloud - Dynamic is an advanced technical analysis tool that creates adaptive support and resistance zones that expand and contract based on market volatility. Unlike traditional static indicators, this cloud system "breathes" with the market, providing dynamic levels that adjust to changing market conditions.
📊 Core Components
1. Multi-Layered Cloud Structure
Resistance Cloud (Red): Three dynamic resistance levels (RL1, RL2, RL3) with intermediate channels (RC1, RC2)
Support Cloud (Green): Three dynamic support levels (SL1, SL2, SL3) with intermediate channels (SC1, SC2)
Trend Cloud (Blue): Five trend lines (TU2, TU1, TM, TL1, TL2) that flow through the center
Confirmation Line (Purple): A fast-reacting line that confirms trend changes
2. Forward Displacement Technology
The entire cloud system is projected 21 bars into the future (Fibonacci number), allowing traders to see potential support and resistance levels before price reaches them. This predictive element is inspired by Ichimoku Cloud theory but enhanced with modern volatility dynamics.
🔬 How It Works (Without Revealing the Secret Sauce)
Volatility-Responsive Design
The indicator continuously measures market volatility across multiple timeframes
During high volatility periods (like major breakouts), clouds expand dramatically
During consolidation, clouds contract and tighten around price
This creates a "breathing" effect that adapts to market conditions
Multi-Timeframe Analysis
Incorporates Fibonacci sequence periods (3, 13, 21, 34, 55) for calculations
Blends short-term responsiveness with long-term stability
Creates smooth, flowing lines that filter out market noise
Dynamic Level Calculation
Levels are not fixed percentages or static bands
Each level adapts based on current market structure and volatility
Channel lines (RC1, RC2, SC1, SC2) provide intermediate support/resistance
🎯 Key Features
1. Touch Point Detection
Colored dots appear when price touches key levels
Red dots = resistance touch
Green dots = support touch
Blue dots = trend median touch
2. Entry/Exit Signals
"Cloud Entry" labels when confirmation line crosses above SL1
"Cloud Exit" labels when confirmation line crosses below RL1
Background color changes based on bullish/bearish bias
3. Information Table
Real-time display of key levels (RL1, TM, SL1)
Current bias indicator (BULLISH/BEARISH)
Updates dynamically as market moves
⚙️ Customization Options
Main Controls:
Sensitivity (5-50): How responsive clouds are to price movements
Smoothing (1-50): Controls the flow and smoothness of cloud lines
Forward Displacement (0-50): How many bars to project the cloud forward
Advanced Volatility Settings:
Volatility Lookback (50-1000): Period for establishing volatility baseline
Volatility Smoothing (1-50): Reduces spikes in volatility expansion
Expansion Power (0.1-2.0): Controls how dramatically clouds expand
Range Divisor (1.0-20.0): Master control for overall cloud width
Level Spacing:
Individual multipliers for each resistance and support level
Allows fine-tuning of cloud structure to match different markets
Trend Spacing:
Separate controls for inner and outer trend bands
Customize the trend cloud density
📈 Trading Applications
1. Trend Identification
Price above TM (Trend Median) = Bullish bias
Price below TM = Bearish bias
Cloud color and width indicate trend strength
2. Support/Resistance Trading
Use RL1/SL1 as primary targets and reversal zones
RC1/RC2 and SC1/SC2 provide intermediate levels
RL3/SL3 mark extreme levels often seen at major tops/bottoms
3. Volatility Analysis
Expanding clouds signal increasing volatility and potential big moves
Contracting clouds indicate consolidation and potential breakout setup
Cloud width helps with position sizing and risk management
4. Multi-Timeframe Confirmation
Works on all timeframes from 1-minute to monthly
Higher timeframes show major market structure
Lower timeframes provide precise entry/exit points
🎓 Best Practices
Combine with Volume: High volume at cloud levels increases reliability
Watch for Touch Clusters: Multiple touches at a level indicate strength
Monitor Cloud Expansion: Sudden expansion often precedes major moves
Use Multiple Timeframes: Confirm signals across different time periods

Expansion Triangle [TradingFinder] MegaPhone Broadening🔵 Introduction
The Expanding Triangle, also known as the Broadening Formation, is one of the key technical analysis patterns that clearly reflects growing market volatility, increasing indecision among participants, and the potential for sharp price explosions.
This pattern is typically defined by a sequence of higher highs and lower lows, forming within two diverging trendlines. Unlike traditional triangles that converge to a breakout point, the expanding triangle pattern becomes wider over time, leaving no precise apex for a breakout to occur.
From a price action perspective, the pattern represents a prolonged tug-of-war between buyers and sellers, where neither side has taken control yet. Each aggressive swing opens the door to new opportunities whether it's a trend reversal, range trading, or a momentum breakout. This dual nature makes the pattern highly versatile across market conditions, from exhausted trend ends to volatile consolidation zones.
The custom-built indicator for this pattern uses a combination of smart algorithms and detailed analysis of swing dynamics to automatically detect expanding triangles and highlight low-risk entry points.
Traders can use this tool to capitalize on high-probability setups from shorting near the upper edge of the structure with confirmation, to trading bearish breakouts during trend continuations, or entering long positions near the lower boundary during bullish reversals. The chart examples included in this article demonstrate these three highly practical trading scenarios in live market conditions.
A major advantage of this indicator lies in its structural filtering engine, which analyzes the behavior of each price leg in the triangle. With four adjustable filter levels from Very Aggressive, which highlights all potential patterns, to Very Defensive, which only triggers when price actually touches the triangle's trendlines the indicator ensures that only structurally sound and verified setups appear on the chart, reducing noise and false signals significantly.
Long Setup :
Short Setup :
🔵 How to Use
The pattern typically forms in conditions of heightened uncertainty and volatility, where price swings generate a series of higher highs and lower lows. The expanding triangle consists of three key legs bounded by diverging trendlines. The indicator intelligently analyzes each leg's direction and angle to determine whether a valid pattern is forming.
At the core of the indicator’s logic is its leg filtering system, which controls the quality of the pattern and filters out weak or noisy setups. Four structural filter modes are available to suit different trading styles and risk preferences. In Very Aggressive mode, filters are disabled, and the indicator detects any pattern purely based on the sequence of swing points.
This mode is ideal for traders who want to see everything and apply their own discretion.
In Aggressive mode, the indicator checks whether each new leg extends no more than twice the length of the previous one. If a leg overshoots excessively, the structure is invalidated.
In Defensive mode, the filter enforces a minimum movement requirement each leg must move at least 2% of the previous one. This prevents the formation of shallow, weak patterns that visually resemble triangles but lack substance.
The strictest setting, Very Defensive, combines all previous filters and additionally requires the price to physically touch the triangle’s trendlines before issuing a signal. This ensures that setups only appear when real market interaction with key structural levels has occurred, not based on assumptions or geometry alone. This mode is ideal for traders seeking maximum precision and minimal risk.
🟣 Bullish Setup
A bullish setup within the Expanding Triangle pattern occurs when price revisits the lower support boundary after a series of broad swings typically near the third leg of the formation. This area often represents a shift in momentum, where sellers begin to lose strength and buyers prepare to take control.
Ideally, the setup is accompanied by a bullish reversal candle (e.g. doji, pin bar, or engulfing) near the lower trendline. If the Very Defensive filter is active, the indicator will only issue a signal if price makes a confirmed touch on the trendline and reacts from that level. This significantly improves signal accuracy and filters out premature entries.
After confirmation, traders may choose to enter a long position on the bullish candle or shortly afterward. A logical stop-loss is placed just below the recent swing low within the pattern. The target can be set at or near the upper trendline, or projected using the full height of the triangle added to the breakout point. On higher timeframes, this reversal often marks the beginning of a strong uptrend.
🟣 Bearish Setup
A bearish setup forms when price climbs toward the upper resistance trendline, usually as the third leg completes. This is where buyers often begin to show exhaustion, and sellers step in with strength providing an ideal low-risk entry point for short positions.
As with the bullish setup, if the Candle Confirmation filter is enabled, the indicator will only show a signal when a bearish reversal candle forms at the point of contact. If Defensive or Very Defensive filters are also active, the setup must meet strict criteria of proportionate leg movement and an actual trendline touch to qualify.
Once confirmed, traders can enter on the reversal candle, placing a stop-loss slightly above the recent high. The target can be set at the lower trendline or calculated based on the triangle's full height, projected downward. This setup is particularly useful at the end of weak bullish trends or in volatile market tops.
🔵 Settings
🟣 Logic Settings
Pivot Period : Defines how many bars are analyzed to identify swing highs and lows. Higher values detect larger, slower structures, while lower values respond to faster patterns. The default value of 13 offers a balanced sensitivity.
Pattern Filter :
Very Aggressive : Detects all patterns based on point sequence with no structural checks.
Aggressive : Ensures each leg is no more than 2x the size of the previous one.
Defensive : Requires each leg to be at least 2% the size of the previous leg.
Very Defensive : The strictest level; only confirms patterns when price touches trendlines.
Candle Confirmation : When enabled, the indicator requires a valid confirmation candle (doji, pin bar, engulfing) at the interaction point with the trendline before issuing a signal. This reduces false entries and improves entry precision.
🟣 Alert Settings
Alert : Enables alerts for SSS.
Message Frequency : Determines the frequency of alerts. Options include 'All' (every function call), 'Once Per Bar' (first call within the bar), and 'Once Per Bar Close' (final script execution of the real-time bar). Default is 'Once per Bar'.
Show Alert Time by Time Zone : Configures the time zone for alert messages. Default is 'UTC'.
🔵 Conclusion
The Expanding Triangle pattern, with its wide structure and volatility-driven nature, represents chaos but also opportunity. For traders who can read its behavior, it provides some of the most powerful setups for reversals, breakouts, and range-based trades. While the pattern may seem messy at first glance, it is built on clear logic and when properly detected, it offers high-probability opportunities.
This indicator doesn’t just draw expanding triangles it intelligently evaluates their structural quality, validates price interaction through candle confirmation, and allows the trader to fine-tune the detection logic through adjustable filter levels. Whether you’re a reversal trader looking for a turning point, or a breakout trader hunting momentum, this tool adapts to your strategy.
In volatile or uncertain markets, where fakeouts and sudden shifts are common, this indicator can become a cornerstone of your trading system helping you turn volatility into structured, high-quality opportunities.
MA Signal IndicatorMA Signal Indicator
The MA Signal Indicator is a customizable designed to identify potential trading opportunities based on price interactions with a Simple Moving Average (SMA). It incorporates risk management features such as stop-loss (SL), take-profit (TP), and breakeven levels, calculated using the Average True Range (ATR). The indicator is visually intuitive, overlaying trade signals, price levels, and colored zones directly on the chart.
Key Features:
1. Moving Average-Based Signals:
• Generates buy (long) signals when the price crosses above a user-defined SMA (default: 55 periods).
• Generates sell (short) signals when the price crosses below the SMA.
• Long and short trades can be independently enabled or disabled via input settings.
2. Risk Management:
• Stop-Loss (SL): Set as a multiple of the ATR (default: 1x ATR) below the entry price for long trades or above for short trades.
• Take-Profit (TP): Set as a multiple of the ATR (default: 5x ATR) above the entry price for long trades or below for short trades.
• Breakeven Level: A trigger level (default: 2x ATR) where traders may choose to move their stop-loss to breakeven, optionally displayed on the chart.
3. Visual Feedback:
• SMA Line: Plotted in orange (default: 55-period SMA) for trend reference.
• Trade Zone: Highlights the area between the stop-loss and take-profit levels with a semi-transparent green (long) or red (short) background.
• Price Lines: Displays entry price (white), stop-loss (red), take-profit (green), and breakeven level (gray, optional) as horizontal lines during active trades.
• Signal Markers: Triangular markers indicate entry points (green triangle up for long, red triangle down for short).
• Exit Markers: Labels show when a trade hits the take-profit (green checkmark) or stop-loss (red cross).
4. Trade Logic:
• Only one trade is active at a time (long or short).
• Trades are exited when either the stop-loss or take-profit is hit, resetting the indicator for the next signal.
• Ensures signals are only triggered when not already in a trade, avoiding duplicate entries.
Inputs:
• MA Period: Length of the SMA (default: 55).
• ATR Period: Period for ATR calculation (default: 5).
• SL Multiplier: ATR multiplier for stop-loss (default: 1.0).
• TP Multiplier: ATR multiplier for take-profit (default: 5.0).
• Move to Breakeven After: ATR multiplier for breakeven trigger (default: 2.0).
• Show Break Even Line: Option to display the breakeven level (default: true).
• Allow Long Trades: Enable/disable long signals (default: true).
• Allow Short Trades: Enable/disable short signals (default: true).
Use Case:
This indicator is ideal for trend-following traders who want a clear, visual system for entering and exiting trades based on SMA crossovers, with predefined risk and reward levels. It suits both manual and automated trading strategies, providing flexibility to adjust parameters for different markets or timeframes.
Notes:
• The indicator is overlaid on the price chart for easy integration with other analysis tools.
• Users should test and adjust parameters (e.g., MA length, ATR multipliers) to suit their trading style and market conditions.
• The breakeven line is a visual guide; manual adjustment of stops is required as the indicator does not automatically modify trade positions.
This indicator provides a robust framework for disciplined trading with clear entry, exit, and risk management visuals.
Z-Score Multi-Model ClusteringA price/volume clustering framework combining three market behavior models into a single indicator. Designed to help identify emerging trend strength, turning points, and volatility-driven entries or exits.
🔍 How It Works
This indicator classifies market states by comparing normalized price/volume behavior (via Z-Score) to different types of statistical or geometric "cluster centers." You can choose from three clustering approaches:
🧠 Clustering Models
1. Percentile (Z+CVD) – Trend Momentum Bias
Uses volume Z-Score + Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD).
Detects institutional pressure by clustering volume surges with directional delta.
Best for: Breakouts, momentum trades, volume-led reversals.
Cluster Colors:
🔹 Green triangle = Strong bullish confluence
🔻 Red triangle = Bearish divergence (bull trap risk)
⚪ Gray = Neutral/low conviction
2. Euclidean (Z+Slope) – Swing Mean-Reversion
Measures the angle of recent Z-score slope and compares it to directional cluster centers.
Helps detect early directional shifts or exhaustion.
Best for: Swing entries, pullback setups, exit timing
3. Hilbert Phase – Turn Detection via Signal Phase
Applies Hilbert Transform to the Z-Score, measuring the phase difference between trend and oscillator components.
Ideal for anticipating turns or detecting cyclical inflection points.
Useful for: Scalping, top/bottom spotting, volatility fades
✅ Features
Auto-updating cluster logic based on current data
Tooltips and clean user interface
Optional cluster bar coloring (can be toggled off)
Signal-only plotting keeps candlesticks readable
Clear entry/exit logic with triangle markers
Supports trend, swing, and oscillation-based systems
🛠️ Suggested Use Cases
Combine with VWAP, Session High/Low, or Liquidity Zones to confirm entry conditions.
Use Cluster 2 (strong bullish) on pullbacks to trend structure for add-on entries.
Use Cluster 1 in strong trends to watch for potential traps or exits.
Toggle models based on your strategy: e.g., Hilbert for scalping, Percentile for macro trend breaks.
🧪 Best Timeframes
Works across all markets and timeframes
For Percentile (Z+CVD), use intraday TF with 1m–5m CVD source
Hilbert and Euclidean preferred on 5m–1h for accurate slope/phase signals
⚠️ Notes
Clusters do not generate trade signals alone; use them in context with structure, VWAP, or trend filters.
Marker signals are filtered with a magnitude threshold to reduce noise.

Supply/Demand Market Structure (SMA Multi-Timeframe)Supply/Demand Based Market Structure
Structure + Order Blocks from Synthetic SMA Candles
Overview:
The SMA Supply/Demand Market Structure indicator combines market structure analysis with supply/demand logic, powered by SMA-based synthetic candles . Instead of relying on raw candle data, this tool generates smoothed higher-timeframe candles using simple moving averages to identify more stable zones and cleaner structure shifts.
It detects bullish and bearish breaks of structure (BoS) , highlights swing points like HH, HL, LH, LL , and plots institutional-style supply and demand zones formed from aggressive rallies or drops. The result is a precise and noise-filtered view of market intent, perfect for trend-following or smart money strategies.
How It Works:
- Synthetic candles are created using SMA of OHLC values on your selected timeframe (HTF).
- A bullish break occurs when price closes above the high of the last bearish synthetic candle.
- A bearish break occurs when price closes below the low of the last bullish synthetic candle.
- Upon break confirmation:
- A demand zone is drawn using the last bearish candle.
- A supply zone is drawn using the last bullish candle.
- Each zone is extended forward for a user-defined number of bars and optionally deleted upon mitigation.
- Zigzag-based internal structure connects valid swing points and classifies them as HH, HL, LH, LL , including Liquidity Sweeps (LS) .
- BoS levels are highlighted with lines that automatically reset when new structure forms.
Key Features:
- Synthetic SMA Candles : Smooth and reliable structure from average-based HTF candles
- Break Modes : Choose between raw HTF closes or SMA closes for break logic
- Custom Timeframe Selection : Analyze structure across any HTF you choose
- Dynamic Supply/Demand Zones : Auto-plot boxes from valid rallies/drops
- Mitigation Detection : Optionally fade or delete zones when price trades through
- Zigzag Structure Mapping : Automatically connect structural highs/lows
- BoS Detection : Real-time breakout of swing points with visual confirmation
- Smart Labels : Marks HH, HL, LH, LL, and LS directly on the chart
- Multi-timeframe Alert System : Notify for all structural changes, BoS, and new zones
How to Use:
- Set your desired HTF and SMA Length for synthetic candle smoothing.
- Use SMA=1 for raw candles
- Select a Break Mode :
- Raw Close : Uses standard HTF close values
- SMA Close : Uses smoothed closes from SMA
- Watch for bullish or bearish breaks — zones are plotted when price confirms breakout structure.
- Use demand zones as long entry areas and supply zones as short setups on retests.
- Rely on internal shifts and zigzag swings to monitor structure continuity.
- Enable alerts for swing formations, BoS, and liquidity sweeps to trade hands-free.
Recommended Strategies:
- Smart Money & ICT Models : Use synthetic demand/supply + BoS for mitigation or continuation plays
- Swing Trading : Align with higher timeframe structure and use zones for entry triggers
- Trend Trading : Confirm structure alignment and wait for pullbacks into zones
- Reversal Entries : Trade structure breaks when zones fail and a BoS confirms the shift
Customization Options:
- Timeframe input for custom HTF control
- SMA Length to adjust candle smoothing
- Zone Style : Control zone color, transparency, and duration
- Structure Display : Toggle swing labels and zigzag visuals
- Alert Mode : Choose between LTF, MTF, or HTF alerts
Summary:
SMA Supply/Demand Market Structure provides a clean, flexible view of price structure and institutional intent by fusing market structure with SMA-based synthetic candles. It’s ideal for anyone seeking reduced noise, visually guided entries, and rule-based trading based on structural shifts and real-time demand/supply dynamics.

Aggregated VolumeHow to Read the “Aggregated Volume” Signal
This indicator combines normalized volume, short-term volume bursts, pivot levels, VWAP, and a 200-period EMA to give you a multi-dimensional view of trading activity. Here’s how to interpret each component and synthesize them into actionable insights.
1. Custom Volume Signal (vSignal)
• Calculation
• vSignal = Sum of over bars, divided by the current price.
• A rising vSignal means more volume is being traded per unit of price, signaling growing interest relative to price level.
• Plot styling
• Bars are lime when (bullish volume days)
• Bars are orange when (bearish volume days)
How to read it
• Trend confirmation: Increasing lime bars alongside rising price suggests buyers in control.
• Warning sign: Rising orange bars on a down move indicate accelerating selling pressure.
• Divergence:
• Price making new highs while vSignal stalls or drops → potential top.
• Price making new lows while vSignal holds → potential bottom.
2. Short-Term Volume Bursts
Three semi-transparent histograms show how much the last 2, 5, and 10-bar raw volumes exceed (or fall below) the current vSignal:
• Blue = vol(2) – vSignal
• Green = vol(5) – vSignal
• Red = vol(10) – vSignal
If a colored bar sits above zero, that lookback’s volume is surging relative to the longer-term average (vSignal).
How to read it
• Clustered bursts:
• Blue + Green + Red above zero → strong, broad-based volume surge.
• Great for confirming breakouts and shakeouts.
• Isolated burst:
• Only Blue (> 0) on a small range bar → might be a false breakout or intrabar squeeze.
• Only Red (> 0) on a wide range → institutional involvement; act with caution.
3. Pivot Volume Levels (v & t)
• Every 21 bars, the script finds the highest and lowest vSignal values and plots them as shaded price levels:
• Magenta area = recent vSignal high (resistance)
• Cyan area = recent vSignal low (support)
How to read it
• Rejection/Break:
• Price approaches magenta zone and stalls → sellers defending that volume high.
• Break above magenta with high vSignal → likely sustained rally.
• Support flip:
• Cyan zone hold → buyers stepping in at heavy-volume lows.
• Break below cyan with rising vSignal → bearish conviction.
4. Midline Cross (Volume Equilibrium)
• A 10-bar SMA of
• Drawn as a faint white cross on price
How to read it
• Above midline → overall volume bias is skewed bullish.
• Below midline → bearish volume bias.
Crossovers of vSignal through this midline can signal shifts in underlying conviction.
5. VWAP & 200-Period EMA Overlays
• VWAP (transparent red if above price, green if below)
• EMA(200) plotted as aqua circles
How to read them
• VWAP tells you the intraday “value area.”
• Price above VWAP + rising vSignal = intraday buyers in charge.
• Price below VWAP + rising vSignal = aggressive sellers.
• EMA(200) gives you the longer-term trend.
• Above EMA200 = bullish regime
• Below EMA200 = bearish regime
6. Putting It All Together: Example Scenarios
1. Bullish Entry
• Price > EMA200 & VWAP is green
• vSignal rising in lime
• All three short-term bursts above zero
• Price near or breaking the magenta pivot with volume confirmation
2. Bearish Entry
• Price < EMA200 & VWAP is red
• vSignal rising in orange
• Two-bar burst (blue) spikes on a down bar
• Price failing at magenta pivot or breaking cyan support
3. Divergence Play
• Price makes new high, but vSignal peaks lower than last high → look for a reversal.
• Price drops to new low, but vSignal stays above its last low → prepare for a bounce.
By combining these layers—normalized volume, burst indicators, pivot levels, VWAP, and EMA—you get a clear map of where volume is clustering, which lets you anticipate support/resistance, gauge real interest, and spot potential reversals or breakouts with greater confidence.
Volume-Confirmed Price Momentum# **Volume-Confirmed Price Momentum (VCPM) Indicator**
## **🔍 Overview**
Introducing the **Volume-Confirmed Price Momentum (VCPM)**, a sophisticated dual-metric indicator designed to identify high-probability momentum moves by analyzing the relationship between price action and volume dynamics. This indicator combines correlation analysis with volume strength validation to filter out weak signals and highlight institutional-backed movements.
---
## **⚙️ Core Mechanics**
**Price-Volume Correlation Engine:**
- Calculates real-time correlation between price movements and volume
- Configurable lookback period (default: 8 bars)
- Option to use price changes or absolute values
- Correlation range: -1.0 (perfect negative) to +1.0 (perfect positive)
**Volume Strength Analyzer:**
- Compares current volume against its moving average (default: 128 periods)
- Normalizes volume ratio to 0-1 scale for consistent interpretation
- Identifies when volume significantly exceeds historical norms
---
## **📊 Signal Generation**
### **🟢 Bullish Confirmation Signal**
**Trigger:** Positive correlation > 0.6 + Volume ratio > 0.5
- Price and volume moving in harmony upward
- Above-average volume confirms the move
- Indicates strong institutional buying interest
### **🔴 Bearish Confirmation Signal**
**Trigger:** Negative correlation < -0.6 + Volume ratio > 0.5
- Price declining with increasing volume
- Suggests distribution or institutional selling
- High-confidence bearish momentum
---
## **🎯 Trading Applications**

Rifle UnifiedThis script is designed for use on 30-second charts of Dow Jones-related symbols (YM, MYM, US30). It provides automated buy and sell signals using a combination of price action, RSI (Relative Strength Index), and volume analysis. The script is intended for both live trading signals and backtesting, with configurable risk management and debugging features.
Core Functionality
1. Signal Generation Logic
Trigger: The algorithm looks for a sharp price move (drop or rise) of a user-defined threshold (default: 80 points) within a specified lookback window (default: 20 minutes).
Levels: It monitors for price drops below specific numerical levels ending in 23, 43, or 73 (e.g., 42223, 42273).
RSI Condition: When price falls below one of these levels and the RSI is below 30, the setup is considered active.
Buy Signal: A buy is triggered if, after setup:
Price rises back above the level,
The RSI rate of change (ROC) indicates exhaustion of the drop,
The current bar shows positive momentum.
2. Trade Management
Stop Loss & Take Profit: Configurable fixed or trailing stop loss and take profit levels are plotted and managed automatically.
Exit Signals: The script signals exit based on price action relative to these risk management levels.
3. Filters & Enhancements
Parabolic Move Filter: Prevents entries during extreme price moves.
Dead Cat Bounce Filter: Avoids false signals after sharp reversals.

Active PMI Support/Resistance Levels [EdgeTerminal]The PMI Support & Resistance indicator revolutionizes traditional technical analysis by using Pointwise Mutual Information (PMI) - a statistical measure from information theory - to objectively identify support and resistance levels. Unlike conventional methods that rely on visual pattern recognition, this indicator provides mathematically rigorous, quantifiable evidence of price levels where significant market activity occurs.
- The Mathematical Foundation: Pointwise Mutual Information
Pointwise Mutual Information measures how much more likely two events are to occur together compared to if they were statistically independent. In our context:
Event A: Volume spikes occurring (high trading activity)
Event B: Price being at specific levels
The PMI formula calculates: PMI = log(P(A,B) / (P(A) × P(B)))
Where:
P(A,B) = Probability of volume spikes occurring at specific price levels
P(A) = Probability of volume spikes occurring anywhere
P(B) = Probability of price being at specific levels
High PMI scores indicate that volume spikes and certain price levels co-occur much more frequently than random chance would predict, revealing genuine support and resistance zones.
- Why PMI Outperforms Traditional Methods
Subjective interpretation: What one trader sees as significant, another might ignore
Confirmation bias: Tendency to see patterns that confirm existing beliefs
Inconsistent criteria: No standardized definition of "significant" volume or price action
Static analysis: Doesn't adapt to changing market conditions
No strength measurement: Can't quantify how "strong" a level truly is
PMI Advantages:
✅ Objective & Quantifiable: Mathematical proof of significance, not visual guesswork
✅ Statistical Rigor: Levels backed by information theory and probability
✅ Strength Scoring: PMI scores rank levels by statistical significance
✅ Adaptive: Automatically adjusts to different market volatility regimes
✅ Eliminates Bias: Computer-calculated, removing human interpretation errors
✅ Market Structure Aware: Reveals the underlying order flow concentrations
- How It Works
Data Processing Pipeline:
Volume Analysis: Identifies volume spikes using configurable thresholds
Price Binning: Divides price range into discrete levels for analysis
Co-occurrence Calculation: Measures how often volume spikes happen at each price level
PMI Computation: Calculates statistical significance for each price level
Level Filtering: Shows only levels exceeding minimum PMI thresholds
Dynamic Updates: Refreshes levels periodically while maintaining historical traces
Visual System:
Current Levels: Bright, thick lines with PMI scores - your actionable levels
Historical Traces: Faded previous levels showing market structure evolution
Strength Tiers: Line styles indicate PMI strength (solid/dashed/dotted)
Color Coding: Green for support, red for resistance
Info Table: Real-time display of strongest levels with scores

Historical Context: The historical trace system shows how support and resistance evolve over time. When current levels align with multiple historical traces, it indicates persistent market memory at those prices, significantly increasing the level's reliability.
Alpha - Combined BreakoutThis Pine Script indicator, "Alpha - Combined Breakout," is a combination between Smart Money Breakout Signals and UT Bot Alert, The UT Bot Alert indicator was initially developer by Yo_adriiiiaan
The idea of original code belongs HPotter.
This Indicator helps you identify potential trading opportunities by combining two distinct strategies: Smart Money Breakout and a modified UT Bot (likely a variation of the Ultimate Trend Bot). It provides visual signals, draws lines for potential take profit (TP) and stop loss (SL) levels, and includes a dashboard to track performance metrics.
Tutorial:
Understanding and Using the "Alpha - Combined Breakout" Indicator
This indicator is designed for traders looking for confirmation of market direction and potential entry/exit points by blending structural analysis with a trend-following oscillator.
How it Works (General Concept)
The indicator combines two main components:
Smart Money Breakout: This part identifies significant breaks in market structure, which "smart money" traders often use to gauge shifts in supply and demand. It looks for higher highs/lows or lower highs/lows and flags when these structural points are broken.
UT Bot: This is a trend-following component that generates buy and sell signals based on price action relative to an Average True Range (ATR) based trailing stop.
You can choose to use these signals independently or combined to generate trading alerts and visual cues on your chart. The dashboard provides a quick overview of how well the signals are performing based on your chosen settings and display mode.
Parameters and What They Do
Let's break down each input parameter:
1. Smart Money Inputs
These settings control how the indicator identifies market structure and breakouts.
swingSize (Market Structure Time-Horizon):
What it does: This integer value defines the number of candles used to identify significant "swing" (pivot) points—highs and lows.
Effect: A larger swingSize creates a smoother market structure, focusing on longer-term trends. This means signals might appear less frequently and with some delay but could be more reliable for higher timeframes or broader market movements. A smaller swingSize will pick up more minor market structure changes, leading to more frequent but potentially noisier signals, suitable for lower timeframes or scalping.
Analogy: Think of it like a zoom level on your market structure map. Higher values zoom out, showing only major mountain ranges. Lower values zoom in, showing every hill and bump.
bosConfType (BOS Confirmation Type):
What it does: This string input determines how a Break of Structure (BOS) is confirmed. You have two options:
'Candle Close': A breakout is confirmed only if a candle's closing price surpasses the previous swing high (for bullish) or swing low (for bearish).
'Wicks': A breakout is confirmed if any part of the candle (including its wick) surpasses the previous swing high or low.
Effect: 'Candle Close' provides stronger, more conservative confirmation, as it implies sustained price movement beyond the structure. 'Wicks' provides earlier, more aggressive signals, as it captures momentary breaches of the structure.
Analogy: Imagine a wall. 'Candle Close' means the whole person must get over the wall. 'Wicks' means even a finger touching over the top counts as a breach.
choch (Show CHoCH):
What it does: A boolean (true/false) input to enable or disable the display of "Change of Character" (CHoCH) labels. CHoCH indicates the first structural break against the current dominant trend.
Effect: When true, it helps identify early signs of a potential trend reversal, as it marks where the market's "character" (its tendency to make higher highs/lows or lower lows/highs) first changes.
BULL (Bullish Color) & BEAR (Bearish Color):
What they do: These color inputs allow you to customize the visual appearance of bullish and bearish signals and lines drawn by the Smart Money component.
Effect: Purely cosmetic, helps with visual identification on the chart.
sm_tp_sl_multiplier (SM TP/SL Multiplier (ATR)):
What it does: A float value that acts as a multiplier for the Average True Range (ATR) to calculate the Take Profit (TP) and Stop Loss (SL) levels specifically when you're in "Smart Money Only" mode. It uses the ATR calculated by the UT Bot's nLoss_ut as its base.
Effect: A higher multiplier creates wider TP/SL levels, potentially leading to fewer trades but larger wins/losses. A lower multiplier creates tighter TP/SL levels, potentially leading to more frequent but smaller wins/losses.
2. UT Bot Alerts Inputs
These parameters control the behavior and sensitivity of the UT Bot component.
a_ut (UT Key Value (Sensitivity)):
What it does: This integer value adjusts the sensitivity of the UT Bot.
Effect: A higher value makes the UT Bot less sensitive to price fluctuations, resulting in fewer and potentially more reliable signals. A lower value makes it more sensitive, generating more signals, which can include more false signals.
Analogy: Like a noise filter. Higher values filter out more noise, keeping only strong signals.
c_ut (UT ATR Period):
What it does: This integer sets the look-back period for the Average True Range (ATR) calculation used by the UT Bot. ATR measures market volatility.
Effect: This period directly influences the calculation of the nLoss_ut (which is a_ut * xATR_ut), thus defining the distance of the trailing stop loss and take profit levels. A longer period makes the ATR smoother and less reactive to sudden price spikes. A shorter period makes it more responsive.
h_ut (UT Signals from Heikin Ashi Candles):
What it does: A boolean (true/false) input to determine if the UT Bot calculations should use standard candlestick data or Heikin Ashi candlestick data.
Effect: Heikin Ashi candles smooth out price action, often making trends clearer and reducing noise. Using them for UT Bot signals can lead to smoother, potentially delayed signals that stay with a trend longer. Standard candles are more reactive to raw price changes.
3. Line Drawing Control Buttons
These crucial boolean inputs determine which type of signals will trigger the drawing of TP/SL/Entry lines and flags on your chart. They act as a priority system.
drawLinesUtOnly (Draw Lines: UT Only):
What it does: If checked (true), lines and flags will only be drawn when the UT Bot generates a buy/sell signal.
Effect: Isolates UT Bot signals for visual analysis.
drawLinesSmartMoneyOnly (Draw Lines: Smart Money Only):
What it does: If checked (true), lines and flags will only be drawn when the Smart Money Breakout logic generates a bullish/bearish breakout.
Effect: Overrides drawLinesUtOnly if both are checked. Isolates Smart Money signals.
drawLinesCombined (Draw Lines: UT & Smart Money (Combined)):
What it does: If checked (true), lines and flags will only be drawn when both a UT Bot signal AND a Smart Money Breakout signal occur on the same bar.
Effect: Overrides both drawLinesUtOnly and drawLinesSmartMoneyOnly if checked. Provides the strictest entry criteria for line drawing, looking for strong confluence.
Dashboard Metrics Explained
The dashboard provides performance statistics based on the lines drawing control button selected. For example, if "Draw Lines: UT Only" is active, the dashboard will show stats only for UT Bot signals.
Total Signals: The total number of buy or sell signals generated by the selected drawing mode.
TP1 Win Rate: The percentage of signals where the price reached Take Profit 1 (TP1) before hitting the Stop Loss.
TP2 Win Rate: The percentage of signals where the price reached Take Profit 2 (TP2) before hitting the Stop Loss.
TP3 Win Rate: The percentage of signals where the price reached Take Profit 3 (TP3) before hitting the Stop Loss. (Note: TP1, TP2, TP3 are in order of distance from entry, with TP3 being furthest.)
SL before any TP rate: This crucial metric shows the number of times the Stop Loss was hit / the percentage of total signals where the stop loss was triggered before any of the three Take Profit levels were reached. This gives you a clear picture of how often a trade resulted in a loss without ever moving into profit target territory.
Short Tutorial: How to Use the Indicator
Add to Chart: Open your TradingView chart, go to "Indicators," search for "Alpha - Combined Breakout," and add it to your chart.
Access Settings: Once added, click the gear icon next to the indicator name on your chart to open its settings.
Choose Your Signal Mode:
For UT Bot only: Uncheck "Draw Lines: Smart Money Only" and "Draw Lines: UT & Smart Money (Combined)". Ensure "Draw Lines: UT Only" is checked.
For Smart Money only: Uncheck "Draw Lines: UT Only" and "Draw Lines: UT & Smart Money (Combined)". Ensure "Draw Lines: Smart Money Only" is checked.
For Combined Signals: Check "Draw Lines: UT & Smart Money (Combined)". This will override the other two.
Adjust Parameters:
Start with default settings. Observe how the signals appear on your chosen asset and timeframe.
Refine Smart Money: If you see too many "noisy" market structure breaks, increase swingSize. If you want earlier breakouts, try "Wicks" for bosConfType.
Refine UT Bot: Adjust a_ut (Sensitivity) to get more or fewer UT Bot signals. Change c_ut (ATR Period) if you want larger or smaller TP/SL distances. Experiment with h_ut to see if Heikin Ashi smoothing suits your trading style.
Adjust TP/SL Multiplier: If using "Smart Money Only" mode, fine-tune sm_tp_sl_multiplier to set appropriate risk/reward levels.
Interpret Signals & Lines:
Buy/Sell Flags: These indicate the presence of a signal based on your selected drawing mode.
Entry Line (Blue Solid): This is where the signal was generated (usually the close price of the signal candle).
SL Line (Red/Green Solid): Your calculated stop loss level.
TP Lines (Dashed): Your three calculated take profit levels (TP1, TP2, TP3, where TP3 is the furthest target).
Smart Money Lines (BOS/CHoCH): These lines indicate horizontal levels where market structure breaks occurred. CHoCH labels might appear at the first structural break against the prior trend.
Monitor Dashboard: Pay attention to the dashboard in the top right corner. This dynamically updates to show the win rates for each TP and, crucially, the "SL before any TP rate." Use these statistics to evaluate the effectiveness of the indicator's signals under your current settings and chosen mode.
*
Set Alerts (Optional): You can set up alerts for any of the specific signals (UT Bot Long/Short, Smart Money Bullish/Bearish, or the "Line Draw" combined signals) to notify you when they occur, even if you're not actively watching the chart.
By following this tutorial, you'll be able to effectively use and customize the "Alpha - Combined Breakout" indicator to suit your trading strategy.

📖 Usage Guidelines
Swing Detection Settings
Swing Detection Length - Default: 25 | Range: 3-50 | Controls the lookback period for identifying pivot points. Lower values detect more frequent swings but may include noise, while higher values focus on major market turns.
Swing Strength (Confirmation Bars) - Default: 2 | Range: 1-10 | Number of bars required to confirm a swing point. Higher values reduce false signals but increase lag.
Minimum Swing % Change - Default: 1.0% | Range: 0.1-10.0% | Minimum percentage change required to register a valid swing. Filters out insignificant price movements.
Fibonacci Level Settings
Individual Level Toggles : Enable/disable specific Fibonacci levels (0.236, 0.382, 0.5, 0.618, 0.786, 0.886)
Extensions : Show projection levels (1.272, 1.618) for target identification
Multi-Timeframe Settings
Timeframe Selection : Choose three higher timeframes for confluence analysis
Confluence Threshold : Percentage tolerance for level clustering (0.5-5.0%)
✅ Best Use Cases
Swing Trading : Identify optimal entry and exit points at key retracement levels
Confluence Trading : Focus on high-probability zones where multiple timeframe levels align
Support/Resistance Trading : Use dynamic levels that adapt to changing market structure
Breakout Trading : Monitor level breaks for momentum continuation signals
Target Setting : Utilize extension levels for profit target placement
⚠️ Limitations
Lagging Nature : Requires confirmed swing points, which means levels appear after significant moves
Market Condition Dependency : Works best in trending markets; less effective in extremely choppy conditions
Multiple Signal Complexity : Multiple timeframe analysis may produce conflicting signals requiring experience to interpret
Performance Considerations : Multiple Fibonacci sets and MTF analysis may impact indicator loading time on slower devices
💡 What Makes This Unique
Automated Precision : Eliminates manual drawing errors and subjective level placement
Multi-Timeframe Intelligence : Combines analysis from multiple timeframes for superior confluence detection
Adaptive Management : Automatically updates and manages multiple Fibonacci sets as market structure evolves
Professional-Grade Alerts : Comprehensive notification system for all significant level interactions
🔬 How It Works
Step 1 - Swing Point Identification : Scans price action using pivot high/low calculations with specified lookback periods, applies confirmation logic to eliminate false signals, and calculates swing strength based on surrounding price action for quality assessment.
Step 2 - Fibonacci Level Calculation : Automatically computes retracement and extension levels between confirmed swing points, creates dynamic level sets that update as new swing points are identified, and maintains multiple active Fibonacci sets for comprehensive market analysis.
Step 3 - Multi-Timeframe Confluence : Retrieves Fibonacci data from higher timeframes using secure request functions, analyzes level clustering across different timeframes within specified thresholds, and identifies high-probability zones where multiple levels converge.
💡 Note: This indicator works best when combined with other technical analysis tools and proper risk management. The multi-timeframe confluence feature provides the highest probability setups, but always confirm signals with additional analysis before entering trades.

Fair Value Gap [Custom]📌 FVG Indicator – Smart Money Concepts Tool
This script is based on Smart Money Concepts (SMC) and automatically detects and marks Fair Value Gaps (FVG) on the chart, helping traders identify unbalanced price areas left behind by institutional moves.
🧠 What is an FVG?
An FVG (Fair Value Gap) is the price gap formed when the market moves rapidly, leaving behind a candle range where no trading occurred — typically between Candle 1’s high and Candle 3’s low (in a three-candle pattern). These gaps often signal imbalance, created during structural breaks or liquidity grabs, and may act as retrace zones or entry points.
🛠 Features:
✅ Automatically detects and highlights FVG zones (high-low range)
✅ Differentiates between open (unfilled) and closed (filled) FVGs
✅ Adjustable timeframe settings (works best on 1H–4H charts)
✅ Option to toggle display of filled FVGs
✅ Great for identifying pullback entries, continuation zones, or reversal setups
💡 Recommended Use:
After BOS/CHoCH, watch for price to return to the FVG for entry
Combine with Order Blocks and liquidity zones for higher accuracy
Best used as part of an ICT or SMC-based trading system
Retracement Bar🔍 Retracement Bar – RB
The Retracement Bar (RB) indicator is designed to highlight potential reversal zones by identifying candles where price shows a clear rejection from the extremes. It helps traders spot moments where institutional inventory rebalancing may be occurring — often a precursor to a strong move in the opposite direction.
RB highlights bars that:
Have a relatively small real body compared to the total candle range.
Show a long wick (upper or lower) that exceeds a user-defined percentage of the candle range.
Suggest a potential rejection of price — upward or downward — based on candle structure.
When these conditions are met, a triangle symbol is plotted:
🔻 Red triangle above a candle suggests a possible short opportunity.
🔺 Green triangle below a candle suggests a possible long opportunity.
This indicator does not repaint and triggers only at candle close.
📈 Example – Long Entry
Signal: A green triangle appears below a candle (suggesting rejection of lower prices).
Steps:
Wait for the current RB candle to close.
On the next candle:
Enter long if price breaks above the high of the RB candle.
Alternatively, wait for a pullback and enter based on confirmation (e.g., bullish engulfing, hammer, trendline bounce).
Place a stop-loss just below the low of the RB candle.
Set a target:
Based on a 2:1 risk-reward ratio.
Or use the next resistance/Fibonacci level.
📉 Example – Short Entry
Signal: A red triangle appears above a candle (suggesting rejection of higher prices).
Steps:
Wait for the current RB candle to close.
On the next candle:
Enter short if price breaks below the low of the RB candle.
Or wait for confirmation (e.g., bearish engulfing, shooting star, breakdown from a level).
Place a stop-loss just above the high of the RB candle.
Set a target:
2:1 risk-reward ratio.
Or the next support/Fibonacci zone.
✅ Recommended Filters for Better Results:
Confluence with support/resistance zones.
Trend alignment or reversal context.
Additional confirmation from price action patterns or oscillators.
Volume analysis for entry strength.
🙏 Acknowledgment
Special thanks to Rob Hoffman for inspiring this concept through his original Inventory Retracement Bar (IRB) idea — this indicator is a reinterpretation meant to visually and practically support discretionary price action traders.
Capital Risk OptimizerCapital Risk Optimizer 🛡️
The Capital Risk Optimizer is an educational tool designed to help traders study capital efficiency, risk management, and scaling strategies when using leverage.
This script calculates and visualizes essential metrics for managing leveraged positions, including:
Entry Price – The current market price.
Stop Loss Level – Automatically derived using the 30-bar lowest low minus 1 ATR (default: 14-period ATR), an approach designed to create a dynamic, volatility-adjusted stop loss.
Stop Loss Distance (%) – The percentage distance between entry and stop.
Maximum Safe Leverage – The highest leverage allowable without risking liquidation before your stop is reached.
Margin Required – The amount of collateral necessary to support the desired position size at the calculated leverage.
Position Size – The configurable notional value of your trade.
These outputs are presented in a clean, customizable table overlay so you can quickly understand how position sizing, volatility, and leverage interact.
By default, the script uses a 14-period ATR combined with the lowest low of the past 30 bars, providing an optimal balance between sensitivity and noise for defining stop placement. This methodology helps traders account for market volatility in a systematic way.
The Capital Risk Optimizer is particularly useful as a portfolio management tool, supporting traders who want to study how to scale into positions using risk-adjusted sizing and capital efficiency principles. It pairs best with backtested strategies, and does not directly produce signals of any kind.
How to Use:
Set your desired position size.
Adjust the ATR and lookback settings to fine-tune stop loss placement.
Study the resulting leverage and margin requirements in real time.
Use this information to simulate and visualize potential trade scenarios and capital allocation models.

Logistic Regression ICT FVG🚀 OVERVIEW
Welcome to the Logistic Regression Fair Value Gap (FVG) System — a next-gen trading tool that blends precision gap detection with machine learning intelligence.
Unlike traditional FVG indicators, this one evolves with each bar of price action, scoring and filtering gaps based on real market behavior.
🔧 CORE FEATURES
✨ Smart Gap Detection
Automatically identifies bullish and bearish Fair Value Gaps using volatility-aware candle logic.
📊 Probability-Based Filtering
Uses logistic regression to assign each gap a confidence score (0 to 1), showing only high-probability setups.
🔁 Real-Time Retest Tracking
Continuously watches how price interacts with each gap to determine if it deserves respect.
📈 Multi-Factor Assessment
Evaluates RSI, MACD, and body size at gap formation to build a full context snapshot.
🧠 Self-Learning Engine
The logistic regression model updates on each bar using gradient descent, refining its predictions over time.
📢 Built-In Alerts
Get instant alerts when a gap forms, gets retested, or breaks.
🎨 Custom Display Options
Control the color of bullish/bearish zones, and toggle on/off probability labels for cleaner charts.
🚩 WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT
This isn’t just another box-drawing indicator.
While others mark every imbalance, this system thinks before it draws — using statistical modeling to filter out noise and prioritize high-impact zones.
By learning from how price behaves around gaps (not just how they form), it helps you trade only what matters — not what clutters.
⚙️ HOW IT WORKS
1️⃣ Detection
FVGs are identified using ATR-based thresholds and sharp wick imbalances.
2️⃣ Behavior Monitoring
Every gap is tracked — and if respected enough times, it becomes part of the elite training set.
3️⃣ Context Capture
Each new FVG logs RSI, MACD, and body size to provide a feature-rich context for prediction.
4️⃣ Prediction (Logistic Regression)
The model predicts how likely the gap is to be respected and assigns it a probability score.
5️⃣ Classification & Alerts
Gaps above the threshold are plotted with score labels, and alerts trigger for entry/respect/break.
⚙️ CONFIGURATION PANEL
🔧 System Inputs
• Max Retests – How many times a gap must be respected to train the model
• Prediction Threshold – Minimum score to show a gap on the chart
• Learning Rate – Controls how fast the model adapts (default: 0.009)
• Max FVG Lifetime – Expiration duration for unused gaps
• Show Historic Gaps – Show/hide expired or invalidated gaps
🎨 Visual Options
• Bullish/Bearish Colors – Set gap colors to fit your chart style
• Confidence Labels – Show probability scores next to FVGs
• Alert Toggles – Enable alerts for:
– New FVG detected
– FVG respected (entry)
– FVG invalidated (break)
💡 WHY LOGISTIC REGRESSION?
Traditional FVG tools rely on candle shapes.
This system relies on probability — by training on RSI, MACD, and price behavior, it predicts whether a gap will act as a true liquidity zone.
Logistic regression lets the system continuously adapt using new data, making it more accurate the longer it runs.
That means smarter signals, fewer false positives, and a clearer view of where real opportunities lie.

ANDROMEDA - TrendSyncANDROMEDA - TrendSync
Pedro Canto - Portfolio Manager | CGA/CGE
OVERVIEW
Trend Sync is a multi-layered trend-following indicator designed to help traders identify high-probability trend continuation setups while avoiding low-quality entries caused by overbought or oversold market conditions.
This indicator combines the power of Moving Averages (MA), MACD , and a visual RSI-based filter to validate both trend direction and timing for entries. It's goal is simple: filter out noise and highlight only the most technically relevant buy and sell signals based on objective momentum and trend criteria.
---
WALKTHROUGH
This indicator is built for traders seeking to operate in the direction of established trends. It's core principle is to identify and validate current trend conditions, and then signal entry opportunities during pullbacks to key moving averages.
Trend identification is achieved through the alignment of two moving averages. When these MAs are crossed and angled in the same direction, they confirm that a trend is in progress. To double-confirm trend direction, the MACD histogram is used—only. When both the MAs and MACD are aligned in the same direction, then the trend is considered valid.
Once all trend criteria are met, a dynamic coloring system is activated to visually reinforce the trend across the candles and moving averages.
To avoid poor entries during market exhaustion, an RSI-based filter is used. This short-term RSI highlights overbought or oversold zones, helping traders filter trades in extreme price conditions.
Only when the trend is validated and price pulls back to one of the MAs will a buy/sell signal be triggered, aligning momentum, price action and timing into a single actionable setup.
This combination ensures that each component plays a specific role:
i) Moving Averages define the trend
ii) MACD validates it
iii) RSI filters noise
iv) Intrabar price action triggers entries
This synchronism helps improve decision-making and entry timing, especially for swing and intraday traders.
---
USE CASES
- Identifying trend continuation setups
- Filtering false signals during consolidation phases
- Avoiding trades in overbought or oversold zones
- Enhancing entry timing for both swing and intraday strategies
- Providing visual confirmation of trend strength and momentum alignment
---
KEY FEATURES
1. Dual Moving Average Setup
The indicator allows full customization of two moving averages (MA1 and MA2), supporting both EMA and SMA types. The slope of the longer MA (MA2) acts as an essential trend filter, ensuring signals are only generated when the market shows clear directional bias.
2. MACD Histogram Trend Confirmation
A classic MACD Histogram calculation is used to validate the momentum of the prevailing trend.
- Bullish Trend: Histogram > 0
- Bearish Trend: Histogram < 0
This step filters out counter-trend signals and ensures trades are aligned with momentum.
3. Intrabar Price Trigger
Unlike standard crossover systems, this indicator waits for intrabar price action to trigger entries:
- Buy Signal: Price crosses below one of the MAs during an uptrend (dip-buy logic)
- Sell Signal: Price crosses above one of the MAs during a downtrend (rally-sell logic)
This intrabar trigger improves entry timing and helps capture retracement-based opportunities.
4. RSI Visual Filter
A short-term RSI is plotted and color-coded to visually highlight overbought and oversold conditions, acting as a discretionary filter for users to avoid low-probability trades during exhaustion points.
5. Dynamic Coloring System
Bar Colors:
- Blue: Bullish trend
- Red: Bearish trend
- Orange: RSI Overbought/Oversold zones
MA Colors:
- Blue for bullish conditions
- Red for bearish conditions
- Gray for neutral/no-trend phases
6. Signal Markers and Alerts
Clear visual buy and sell markers are plotted directly on the chart.
Additionally, the indicator includes real-time alerts for both Buy and Sell signals, helping traders stay informed even when away from the screen.
---
INPUTS AND CUSTOMIZATION OPTIONS
- Moving Average Types: EMA or SMA for both MA1 and MA2.
- MACD Settings: Customizable fast, slow, and signal periods.
- RSI Settings: Source, length, and overbought/oversold levels fully adjustable.
- Color Customization: Adjust RSI zone colors to suit your chart theme.
