Heiken Ashi + Ichimoku Kinko Hyo StrategyHeikin-Ashi:
Instead of using the open-high-low-close (OHLC) bars like standard candlestick charts, it uses a modified formula. Out of which only following two are used in this strategy.
High = Max (High,Open,Close)
Low = Min (Low,Open, Close)
Ichimoku Kinko Hyo:
The Ichimoku Kinko Hyo system includes five kinds of signal, of which this strategy uses four signals i.e. Tenkan Sen / Kijun Sen Cross, price crosses the Kijun Sen, Chikou Span and Kumo. Although the Chikou Span, Senkou Span A and Senkou Span B (Kumo) are shifted into the past/future, these trigger signals enhances the strategy.
The Tenkan Sen, also known as the Turning or Conversion line, is a moving average of the highest high and lowest low over the last 9 periods in this strategy.
The Kijun Sen, also known as the Standard or Base line, is a moving average of the highest high and lowest low over the last 24 periods in this strategy.
The Chikou Span, also known as the Lagging line, is the closing price plotted 24 periods behind in this strategy.
The Senkou Span A, also known as the 1st leading line, is a moving average of the Tenkan Sen and Kijun Sen and is plotted 24 periods ahead in this strategy.
The Senkou Span B, also known as the 2nd leading line, is a moving average of the highest high and lowest low over the last 51 trading days is plotted 24 periods ahead in this strategy.

CVD Divergence & Volume ProfileThis Pine Script indicator, named "CVD Divergence & Volume Profile," is designed to identify potential trading opportunities by combining Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) divergence with Volume Profile levels and an optional Simple Moving Average (SMA) trend filter. It plots signals directly on the price chart.
Here's a breakdown of what each component does and how to potentially trade with it:
1. Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) Divergence
What it does: CVD measures the cumulative difference between buying and selling volume. A rising CVD indicates more buying pressure, while a falling CVD indicates more selling pressure. Divergence occurs when the price action contradicts the CVD's direction, suggesting a potential shift in momentum or trend reversal.
Bearish Divergence: The price makes a higher high, but the CVD makes a lower high (or fails to make a new high). This suggests that despite the price increasing, the underlying buying pressure is weakening.
Bullish Divergence: The price makes a lower low, but the CVD makes a higher low (or fails to make a new low). This suggests that despite the price decreasing, the underlying selling pressure is weakening.
Visualization:
Red triangle pointing down on the chart indicates a Bearish Divergence signal.
Green triangle pointing up on the chart indicates a Bullish Divergence signal.
2. Volume Profile Levels (VAH, VAL, POC)
What it does: The indicator calculates simplified Volume Profile levels over a user-defined vp_range (number of candles). These levels represent areas where significant trading activity has occurred:
VAH (Value Area High): The upper boundary of the "Value Area," where 70% of the volume traded.
VAL (Value Area Low): The lower boundary of the "Value Area," where 70% of the volume traded.
POC (Point of Control): The price level within the vp_range where the most volume was traded.
Significance: These levels often act as significant support and resistance zones.
Visualization:
Orange lines for VAH and VAL.
Yellow line for POC.
Zone Proximity (zone_thresh): The indicator only generates divergence signals if the current close price is within a specified percentage zone_thresh of either VAH, VAL, or POC. This filters signals to areas of high liquidity and potential turning points.
3. Trend Filter (SMA)
What it does: This is an optional filter (use_trend_filter) that uses a Simple Moving Average (sma_period, default 200).
Significance: It helps ensure that divergence signals are traded in alignment with the broader market trend, potentially increasing their reliability.
For long signals (bullish divergence), the price (close) must be above the SMA (indicating an uptrend).
For short signals (bearish divergence), the price (close) must be below the SMA (indicating a downtrend).
Visualization: A blue line on the chart representing the SMA.
How to Trade with It (Potential Strategies)
The indicator aims to provide high-probability entry points by combining multiple confirming factors. Here's how you might interpret and trade the signals:
Identify Divergence: Look for the triangle signals on your chart (red for bearish, green for bullish).
Confirm Proximity to Volume Profile Levels: The signal itself confirms that the price is near a significant Volume Profile level (VAH, VAL, or POC). These are areas where price often reacts.
Bullish Signal (Green Triangle): This suggests buying momentum is returning after a price decline, especially when the price is near VAL or POC, which might act as support.
Bearish Signal (Red Triangle): This suggests selling momentum is increasing after a price rally, especially when the price is near VAH or POC, which might act as resistance.
Check Trend Alignment (SMA Filter):
For a long trade: You would ideally want to see a green triangle (bullish divergence) while the price is above the blue SMA line. This indicates a bullish divergence confirming a potential bounce within an existing uptrend.
For a short trade: You would ideally want to see a red triangle (bearish divergence) while the price is below the blue SMA line. This indicates a bearish divergence confirming a potential rejection within an existing downtrend.
Entry and Exit Considerations:
Entry: Consider entering a trade on the candle where the signal appears, or on the subsequent candle for confirmation.
Stop Loss: For a long trade, a logical stop-loss could be placed below the lowest point of the divergence, or below the VAL/POC if the signal occurred near it. For a short trade, above the highest point of the divergence or VAH/POC.
Take Profit: Targets could be set at the opposite Volume Profile level, previous swing highs/lows, or using a fixed risk-reward ratio.
Example Trading Scenario:
Long Trade: You see a green triangle (bullish divergence) printed on the chart. You notice the price is currently at the VAL (orange line). You check the blue SMA line and confirm that the price is above it (uptrend). This confluence of factors (bullish divergence, support at VAL, and uptrend) provides a strong potential long entry signal. You might enter, place your stop loss just below VAL, and target VAH or the next resistance level.
Short Trade: You see a red triangle (bearish divergence). The price is at the VAH (orange line). The price is also below the blue SMA line (downtrend). This suggests a potential short entry. You might enter, place your stop loss just above VAH, and target VAL or the next support level.
Demand Index (Hybrid Sibbet) by TradeQUODemand Index (Hybrid Sibbet) by TradeQUO \
\Overview\
The Demand Index (DI) was introduced by James Sibbet in the early 1990s to gauge “real” buying versus selling pressure by combining price‐change information with volume intensity. Unlike pure price‐based oscillators (e.g. RSI or MACD), the DI highlights moves backed by above‐average volume—helping traders distinguish genuine demand/supply from false breakouts or low‐liquidity noise.
\Calculation\
\
\ \Step 1: Weighted Price (P)\
For each bar t, compute a weighted price:
```
Pₜ = Hₜ + Lₜ + 2·Cₜ
```
where Hₜ=High, Lₜ=Low, Cₜ=Close of bar t.
Also compute Pₜ₋₁ for the prior bar.
\ \Step 2: Raw Range (R)\
Calculate the two‐bar range:
```
Rₜ = max(Hₜ, Hₜ₋₁) – min(Lₜ, Lₜ₋₁)
```
This Rₜ is used indirectly in the exponential dampener below.
\ \Step 3: Normalize Volume (VolNorm)\
Compute an EMA of volume over n₁ bars (e.g. n₁=13):
```
EMA_Volₜ = EMA(Volume, n₁)ₜ
```
Then
```
VolNormₜ = Volumeₜ / EMA_Volₜ
```
If EMA\_Volₜ ≈ 0, set VolNormₜ to a small default (e.g. 0.0001) to avoid division‐by‐zero.
\ \Step 4: BuyPower vs. SellPower\
Calculate “raw” BuyPowerₜ and SellPowerₜ depending on whether Pₜ > Pₜ₋₁ (bullish) or Pₜ < Pₜ₋₁ (bearish). Use an exponential dampener factor Dₜ to moderate extreme moves when true range is small. Specifically:
• If Pₜ > Pₜ₋₁,
```
BuyPowerₜ = (VolNormₜ) / exp
```
otherwise
```
BuyPowerₜ = VolNormₜ.
```
• If Pₜ < Pₜ₋₁,
```
SellPowerₜ = (VolNormₜ) / exp
```
otherwise
```
SellPowerₜ = VolNormₜ.
```
Here, H₀ and L₀ are the very first bar’s High/Low—used to calibrate the scale of the dampening. If the denominator of the exponential is near zero, substitute a small epsilon (e.g. 1e-10).
\ \Step 5: Smooth Buy/Sell Power\
Apply a short EMA (n₂ bars, typically n₂=2) to each:
```
EMA_Buyₜ = EMA(BuyPower, n₂)ₜ
EMA_Sellₜ = EMA(SellPower, n₂)ₜ
```
\ \Step 6: Raw Demand Index (DI\_raw)\
```
DI_rawₜ = EMA_Buyₜ – EMA_Sellₜ
```
A positive DI\_raw indicates that buying force (normalized by volume) exceeds selling force; a negative value indicates the opposite.
\ \Step 7: Optional EMA Smoothing on DI (DI)\
To reduce choppiness, compute an EMA over DI\_raw (n₃ bars, e.g. n₃ = 1–5):
```
DIₜ = EMA(DI_raw, n₃)ₜ.
```
If n₃ = 1, DI = DI\_raw (no further smoothing).
\
\Interpretation\
\
\ \Crossing Zero Line\
• DI\_raw (or DI) crossing from below to above zero signals that cumulative buying pressure (over the chosen smoothing window) has overcome selling pressure—potential Long signal.
• Crossing from above to below zero signals dominant selling pressure—potential Short signal.
\ \DI\_raw vs. DI (EMA)\
• When DI\_raw > DI (the EMA of DI\_raw), bullish momentum is accelerating.
• When DI\_raw < DI, bullish momentum is weakening (or bearish acceleration).
\ \Divergences\
• If price makes new highs while DI fails to make higher highs (DI\_raw or DI declining), this hints at weakening buying power (“bearish divergence”), possibly preceding a reversal.
• If price makes new lows while DI fails to make lower lows (“bullish divergence”), this may signal waning selling pressure and a potential bounce.
\ \Volume Confirmation\
• A strong price move without a corresponding rise in DI often indicates low‐volume “fake” moves.
• Conversely, a modest price move with a large DI spike suggests true institutional participation—often a more reliable breakout.
\
\Usage Notes & Warnings\
\
\ \Never Use DI in Isolation\
It is a \filter\ and \confirmation\ tool—combine with price‐action (trendlines, support/resistance, candlestick patterns) and risk management (stop‐losses) before executing trades.
\ \Parameter Selection\
• \Vol EMA length (n₁)\: Commonly 13–20 bars. Shorter → more responsive to volume spikes, but noisier.
• \Buy/Sell EMA length (n₂)\: Typically 2 bars for fast smoothing.
• \DI smoothing (n₃)\: Usually 1 (no smoothing) or 3–5 for moderate smoothing. Long DI\_EMA (e.g. 20–50) gives a slower signal.
\ \Market Adaptation\
Works well in liquid futures, indices, and heavily traded stocks. In thinly traded or highly erratic markets, adjust n₁ upward (e.g., 20–30) to reduce noise.
---
\In Summary\
The Demand Index (James Sibbet) uses a three‐stage smoothing (volume → Buy/Sell Power → DI) to reveal true demand/supply imbalance. By combining normalized volume with price change, Sibbet’s DI helps traders identify momentum backed by real participation—filtering out “empty” moves and spotting early divergences. Always confirm DI signals with price action and sound risk controls before trading.
Weighted Regression Bands (Zeiierman)█ Overview
Weighted Regression Bands is a precision-engineered trend and volatility tool designed to adapt to the real market structure instead of reacting to price noise.
This indicator analyzes Weighted High/Low medians and applies user-selectable smoothing methods — including Kalman Filtering, ALMA, and custom Linear Regression — to generate a Fair Value line. Around this, it constructs dynamic standard deviation bands that adapt in real-time to market volatility.
The result is a visually clean and structurally intelligent trend framework suitable for breakout traders, mean reversion strategies, and trend-driven analysis.
█ How It Works
⚪ Structural High/Low Analysis
At the heart of this indicator is a custom high/low weighting system. Instead of using just the raw high or low values, it calculates a midline = (high + low) / 2, then applies one of three weighting methods to determine which price zones matter most.
Users can select the method using the “Weighted HL Method” setting:
Simple
Selects the single most dominant median (highest or lowest) in the lookback window. Ideal for fast, reactive signals.
Advanced
Ranks each bar based on a composite score: median × range × recency. This method highlights structurally meaningful bars that had both volatility and recency. A built-in Kalman filter is applied for extra stability.
Smooth
Blends multiple bars into a single weighted average using smoothed decay and range. This provides the softest and most stable structural response.
⚪ Smoothing Methods (ALMA / Linear Regression)
ALMA provides responsive, low-lag smoothing for fast trend reading.
Linear Regression projects the Fair Value forward, ideal for trend modeling.
⚪ Kalman Smoothing Filter
Before trend calculations, the indicator applies an optional Kalman-style smoothing filter. This helps:
Reduce choppy false shifts in trend,
Retain signal clarity during volatile periods,
Provide stability for long-term setups.
⚪ Deviation Bands (Dynamic Volatility Envelopes)
The indicator builds ±1, ±2, and ±3 standard deviation bands around the fair value line:
Calculated from the standard deviation of price,
Bands expand and contract based on recent volatility,
Visualizes potential overbought/oversold or trending conditions.
█ How to Use
⚪ Trend Trading & Filtering
Use the Fair Value line to identify the dominant direction.
Only trade in the direction of the slope for higher probability setups.
⚪ Volatility-Based Entries
Watch for price reaching outer bands (+2σ, +3σ) for possible exhaustion.
Mean reversion entries become higher quality when far from Fair Value.
█ Settings
Length – Lookback for Weighted HL and trend smoothing
Deviation Multiplier – Controls how wide the bands are from the fair value line
Method – Choose between ALMA or Linear Regression smoothing
Smoothing – Strength of Kalman Filter (1 = none, <1 = stronger smoothing)

0830-0845 High/Low Marker (Accurate Start + History)This indicator marks the high and low of the 15-minute candle between 08:30 and 08:45 (local time) of the trading session. The high and low are tracked dynamically, with the lines drawn once the 08:45 candle closes.
Key Features:
Session-based Tracking: Automatically tracks and records the high and low of the 15-minute period starting at 08:30 and ending at 08:45.
Excludes 08:45 High : If a high is created exactly at 08:45, the indicator will ignore it and use the highest value before 08:45, ensuring it only references the price action during the specified window.
Line Extension : The high and low lines are drawn and extended to the right for a user-defined number of bars, making them visible beyond the session's close.
Customizable Parameters : Adjust the start and end times of the session, line colors, and line width to fit your preferences.
Use Case :
Ideal for traders who focus on the price action during the early part of the trading session (08:30 to 08:45) and want to track significant levels of support and resistance from that period.
The extended lines help identify potential price zones for the rest of the session or the trading day.
Chandelier Exit with ZLSMA SwiftEdgeChandelier Exit with ZLSMA
Overview
The "Chandelier Exit with ZLSMA" indicator is a powerful trading tool designed to identify trend reversals and high-probability entry points in financial markets. By combining the volatility-based Chandelier Exit with the low-lag Zero Lag Least Squares Moving Average (ZLSMA), this indicator provides clear Buy and Sell signals, enhanced with a unique signal strength score to help traders prioritize high-quality opportunities. Visual enhancements, including dynamic color coding, background highlights, and trend arrows, make it intuitive and visually appealing for both novice and experienced traders.
What It Does
This indicator generates Buy and Sell signals when a trend reversal is detected by the Chandelier Exit, but only if the price crosses the ZLSMA for the first time in the direction of the trend. Each signal is accompanied by a percentage score (0-100%) that measures its strength based on price movement and momentum. The indicator overlays directly on the price chart, displaying:
Buy/Sell labels with signal strength (e.g., "Buy (85%)").
A ZLSMA line that changes color (green for bullish, red for bearish) to indicate trend direction.
Background highlights to mark signal candles.
Trend arrows to visually confirm signal points.
How It Works
The indicator combines two complementary components:
Chandelier Exit:
Uses the Average True Range (ATR) to create dynamic trailing stop levels (long_stop and short_stop) that adapt to market volatility.
Signals a Buy when the price crosses above the short stop (indicating a potential uptrend) and a Sell when it crosses below the long stop (indicating a potential downtrend).
Default settings use an ATR period of 1 and a multiplier of 2.0 for high sensitivity to short-term price movements.
Zero Lag LSMA (ZLSMA):
A low-lag moving average based on linear regression, designed to reduce delay compared to traditional moving averages.
Acts as a trend filter: Buy signals are only generated when the price closes above ZLSMA for the first time, and Sell signals when it closes below for the first time.
Default length of 50 balances smoothness with responsiveness.
Signal Strength Score:
Each signal is assigned a score (0-100%) based on:
Distance to ZLSMA (60% weight): How far the price is from ZLSMA, normalized by ATR. Larger distances indicate stronger breakouts.
Candlestick size (40% weight): The size of the signal candle, normalized by ATR. Larger candles suggest stronger momentum.
A high score (e.g., >80%) indicates a robust signal, while a low score (e.g., <50%) suggests caution.
Visual Features:
The ZLSMA line changes color (green for bullish, red for bearish) to reflect the trend.
Signal candles are highlighted with a subtle green (Buy) or red (Sell) background.
Tiny triangular arrows appear below Buy signals and above Sell signals for clear visual confirmation.
Why Combine Chandelier Exit and ZLSMA?
The Chandelier Exit excels at identifying trend reversals through volatility-based stops, but it can generate false signals in choppy markets due to its sensitivity (especially with a short ATR period of 1). The ZLSMA addresses this by acting as a trend filter, ensuring signals are only triggered when the price confirms a trend by crossing the ZLSMA for the first time. This combination reduces noise and focuses on high-probability setups. The signal strength score further enhances decision-making by quantifying the conviction behind each signal, making the indicator feel intuitive and "smart."
How to Use
Setup:
Add the indicator to your chart in TradingView.
Adjust inputs in the settings panel:
ATR Period (default: 1): Controls the sensitivity of Chandelier Exit. Increase for smoother signals.
ATR Multiplier (default: 2.0): Sets the distance of stop levels from price extremes.
ZLSMA Length (default: 50): Adjusts the smoothness of the ZLSMA line. Shorter lengths (e.g., 20-30) are more responsive; longer lengths (e.g., 50-100) are smoother.
Use Close Price for Extremums (default: true): Determines whether Chandelier Exit uses closing prices or high/low prices for calculations.
Interpreting Signals:
Buy Signal: A green "Buy (X%)" label appears below a candle when the price crosses above the Chandelier Exit short stop and closes above ZLSMA for the first time. The percentage indicates signal strength (higher = stronger).
Sell Signal: A red "Sell (X%)" label appears above a candle when the price crosses below the Chandelier Exit long stop and closes below ZLSMA for the first time.
Use the ZLSMA line’s color (green for bullish, red for bearish) to confirm the overall trend.
Prioritize signals with high strength scores (e.g., >70%) for better reliability.
Trading Considerations:
Combine signals with other analysis (e.g., support/resistance, volume) for confirmation.
Test the indicator on a demo account or use TradingView’s Strategy Tester to evaluate performance.
Be cautious with the default ATR period of 1, as it is highly sensitive and may generate frequent signals in volatile markets.
What Makes It Unique
This indicator stands out due to its thoughtful integration of Chandelier Exit and ZLSMA, creating a synergy that balances sensitivity with reliability. The first-cross filter ensures signals are triggered only at the start of potential trends, reducing false positives. The signal strength score adds a layer of intelligence, helping traders assess the quality of each signal without needing external tools. Visual enhancements, such as dynamic ZLSMA coloring, background highlights, and trend arrows, make the indicator user-friendly and visually engaging, appealing to traders seeking a modern, intuitive tool.
Limitations and Notes
The short ATR period (1) makes the indicator highly sensitive, which suits short-term traders but may produce noise in sideways markets. Increase the ATR period for smoother signals.
The signal strength score is a heuristic based on price movement and momentum, not a predictive model. Use it as a guide, not a definitive predictor.
Always backtest the indicator on your preferred market and timeframe to ensure it aligns with your trading strategy.

price moves by at least the user-defined percentage threshold.
- These turning points are connected by straight lines to form the Zig Zag pattern.
2. Cycle Analysis:
For each completed cycle (from one swing high/low to the next), the indicator calculates:
- Price Change: Difference between the start and end prices of the cycle.
- Maximum Price Change: The largest price difference observed across all cycles.
- Minimum Price Change: The smallest price difference observed across all cycles.
- Mean Price Change: The average price difference across all cycles.
- Time Duration (Bar Count): Number of bars elapsed between consecutive swings.
- Maximum Duration: The longest cycle in terms of bar count.
- Minimum Duration: The shortest cycle in terms of bar count.
- Mean Duration: The average cycle length in terms of bar count.
- Volume: Total volume traded during the cycle.
- Maximum Volume: The highest volume traded during any single cycle.
- Minimum Volume: The lowest volume traded during any single cycle.
- Mean Volume: The average volume traded across all cycles.
- These calculations provide traders with a statistical overview of market behavior, enabling
them to identify patterns and anomalies in price, time, and volume.
3. Fibonacci Integration:
- Once a new swing high or low is identified, the indicator automatically calculates Fibonacci
retracement and extension levels.
- These levels serve as reference points for potential entry/exit opportunities.
4. Real-Time Updates:
- As the market evolves, the indicator continuously monitors the relationship between the
current price and the last identified swing point.
- Real-time metrics, such as percentage change and volume, are updated dynamically.
5. Alerts Based on Real-Time Parameters:

Ideal for scalping or intraday strategies on stocks, futures, or forex.
What Makes It Unique?
Unlike standalone ICT indicators, this script integrates:
Order Blocks with volume and range filters for precise support/resistance zones.
Fair Value Gaps (FVG) to spot pre-market price imbalances.
Break of Structure (BOS) and Liquidity Sweeps for trend and reversal signals.
A 1H MA-based Bias to align trades with the day’s direction.
BUY/SELL Labels triggered only when bias, BOS, and sweeps align, reducing noise.
How Does It Work?
Order Blocks: Marks zones with high volume (>1.5x 20-period SMA) and low range (<0.5x ATR20) as teal boxes—potential reversal points.
Fair Value Gap: Compares the prior day’s close to the current open (pre- or post-9:30), shown as a purple line and label (e.g., "FVG: 0.005").
Pivot Point: Calculates (prevHigh + prevLow + prevClose) / 3 from the prior day, plotted as an orange line for equilibrium.
Break of Structure: Detects crossovers of 5-bar highs/lows (gray lines), marked with red triangles.
Liquidity Sweeps: Tracks breaches of the prior day’s high/low (yellow lines), marked with yellow triangles.
Daily Bias: Uses 1H close vs. 20-period MA (blue line) for bullish (green background), bearish (red), or neutral (gray) context.
Signals: BUY (green label) when bias is bullish, price breaks up, and sweeps the prior high; SELL (red label) when bias is bearish, price breaks down, and sweeps the prior low.
How to Use It
Setup: Apply to 1M–15M charts for US session trading (9:30–16:00 EST).
Trading:
Wait for a BUY label after a yellow sweep triangle above the prior day’s high in a green (bullish) background.
Wait for a SELL label after a yellow sweep triangle below the prior day’s low in a red (bearish) background.
Use order blocks (teal boxes) as support/resistance for stop-loss or take-profit.
Markets: Best for SPY, ES futures, or forex pairs with US session volatility.
Underlying Concepts
Order Blocks: High-volume, low-range bars suggest institutional activity.
FVG: Gaps between close and open indicate imbalance to be filled.
BOS & Sweeps: Price breaking key levels signals momentum or stop-hunting.
Bias: 1H MA filters trades by broader trend.
Chart Setup
Displays order blocks (teal boxes), pivot (orange), open (purple), bias (colored background), BOS/sweeps (triangles), and signals (labels). Keep other indicators off for clarity.
Dual SuperTrend w VIX Filter - Strategy [presentTrading]Hey everyone! Haven't been here for a long time. Been so busy again in the past 2 months. I recently started working on analyzing the combination of trend strategy and VIX, but didn't get outstanding results after a few tries. Sharing this tool with all of you in case you have better insights.
█ Introduction and How it is Different
The Dual SuperTrend with VIX Filter Strategy combines traditional trend following with market volatility analysis. Unlike conventional SuperTrend strategies that focus solely on price action, this experimental system incorporates VIX (Volatility Index) as an adaptive filter to create a more context-aware trading approach. By analyzing where current volatility stands relative to historical norms, the strategy adjusts to different market environments rather than applying uniform logic across all conditions.
BTCUSD 6hr Long Short Performance
█ Strategy, How it Works: Detailed Explanation
🔶 Dual SuperTrend Core
The strategy uses two SuperTrend indicators with different sensitivity settings:
- SuperTrend 1: Length = 13, Multiplier = 3.5
- SuperTrend 2: Length = 8, Multiplier = 5.0
The SuperTrend calculation follows this process:
1. ATR = Average of max(High-Low, |High-PreviousClose|, |Low-PreviousClose|) over 'length' periods
2. UpperBand = (High+Low)/2 - (Multiplier * ATR)
3. LowerBand = (High+Low)/2 + (Multiplier * ATR)
Trend direction is determined by:
- If Close > previous LowerBand, Trend = Bullish (1)
- If Close < previous UpperBand, Trend = Bearish (-1)
- Otherwise, Trend = previous Trend

The core innovation lies in the VIX analysis system:
1. Statistical Analysis:
- VIX Mean = SMA(VIX, 252)
- VIX Standard Deviation = StdDev(VIX, 252)
- VIX Z-Score = (Current VIX - VIX Mean) / VIX StdDev
2. **Volatility Bands:
- Upper Band 1 = VIX Mean + (2 * VIX StdDev)
- Upper Band 2 = VIX Mean + (3 * VIX StdDev)
- Lower Band 1 = VIX Mean - (2 * VIX StdDev)
- Lower Band 2 = VIX Mean - (3 * VIX StdDev)
3. Volatility Regimes:
- "Very Low Volatility": VIX < Lower Band 1
- "Low Volatility": Lower Band 1 ≤ VIX < Mean
- "Normal Volatility": Mean ≤ VIX < Upper Band 1
- "High Volatility": Upper Band 1 ≤ VIX < Upper Band 2
- "Extreme Volatility": VIX ≥ Upper Band 2
4. VIX Trend Detection:
- VIX EMA = EMA(VIX, 10)
- VIX Rising = VIX > VIX EMA
- VIX Falling = VIX < VIX EMA
Local performance:
🔶 Entry Logic Integration
The strategy combines trend signals with volatility filtering:
Long Entry Condition:
- Both SuperTrend 1 AND SuperTrend 2 must be bullish (trend = 1)
- AND selected VIX filter condition must be satisfied
Short Entry Condition:
- Both SuperTrend 1 AND SuperTrend 2 must be bearish (trend = -1)
- AND selected VIX filter condition must be satisfied
Available VIX filter rules include:
- "Below Mean + SD": VIX < Lower Band 1
- "Below Mean": VIX < VIX Mean
- "Above Mean": VIX > VIX Mean
- "Above Mean + SD": VIX > Upper Band 1
- "Falling VIX": VIX < VIX EMA
- "Rising VIX": VIX > VIX EMA
- "Any": No VIX filtering
█ Trade Direction
The strategy allows testing in three modes:
1. **Long Only:** Test volatility effects on uptrends only
2. **Short Only:** Examine volatility's impact on downtrends only
3. **Both (Default):** Compare how volatility affects both trend directions
This enables comparative analysis of how volatility regimes impact bullish versus bearish markets differently.
█ Usage
Use this strategy as an experimental framework:
1. Form a hypothesis about how volatility affects trend reliability
2. Configure VIX filters to test your specific hypothesis
3. Analyze performance across different volatility regimes
4. Compare results between uptrends and downtrends
5. Refine your volatility filtering approach based on results
6. Share your findings with the trading community
This framework allows you to investigate questions like:
- Are uptrends more reliable during rising or falling volatility?
- Do downtrends perform better when volatility is above or below its historical average?
- Should different volatility filters be applied to long vs. short positions?
█ Default Settings
The default settings serve as a starting point for exploration:
SuperTrend Parameters:
- SuperTrend 1 (Length=13, Multiplier=3.5): More responsive to trend changes
- SuperTrend 2 (Length=8, Multiplier=5.0): More selective filter requiring stronger trends
VIX Analysis Settings:
- Lookback Period = 252: Establishes a full market cycle for volatility context
- Standard Deviation Bands = 2 and 3 SD: Creates statistically significant regime boundaries
- VIX Trend Period = 10: Balances responsiveness with noise reduction
Default VIX Filter Selection:
- Long Entry: "Above Mean" - Tests if uptrends perform better during above-average volatility
- Short Entry: "Rising VIX" - Tests if downtrends accelerate when volatility is increasing

This Pine Script indicator helps traders analyze volume dynamics in the stock or cryptocurrency market while simultaneously assessing buyer and seller pressure. Its use case revolves around identifying strong buying or selling activity, neutral conditions, and volume trends over different time periods. Below is a breakdown of how to use this indicator:
Key Features and Use Case
Volume-Based Insights:
Displays daily volume and compares it to the 3-day, 5-day, 10-day, and 20-day moving averages of volume. Helps traders identify days with unusual volume spikes relative to historical averages, signaling potential reversals or breakouts.
Buyer and Seller Pressure:
Measures buyer pressure: how much the closing price dominates the trading range of the day.
Measures seller pressure: how much the opening price dominates the trading range of the day.
Highlights areas where buying or selling pressure is particularly strong (≥ 0.75).
Background Signals:
Green Background: Strong buyer pressure (indicative of potential upward momentum).
Red Background: Strong seller pressure (indicative of potential downward momentum).
Gray Background: Neutral market conditions (neither buying nor selling dominance).
Alerts:
Alerts traders when:
Strong buying signals are detected.
Strong selling signals are detected.
The market is neutral, with neither buyers nor sellers in control.
Decision-Making Aid:
Combines volume analysis with price action (buyer/seller pressure) to help traders identify:
Potential breakout opportunities.
Reversal points.
Neutral zones where a trader might avoid trading due to indecision in the market.
How to Use It in Trading:------->
Add the Indicator:
Apply this Indicator to your Trading View chart to start visualizing the buyer/seller pressure and volume averages.
Interpret Volume Trends:
Look for days when daily volume significantly exceeds the 3-day, 5-day, 10-day, or 20-day average.
These could indicate:
A breakout when aligned with strong buyer pressure.
A sell-off when aligned with strong seller pressure.
React to Background Colors:
* Green Background (Strong Buyer Pressure):
Suggests buyers are dominating the market, and upward momentum is likely.
Use this signal to consider buying opportunities, especially if volume is above average.
* Red Background (Strong Seller Pressure):
Indicates sellers are in control, and prices might fall.
Use this signal to consider selling or shorting opportunities.
* Gray Background (Neutral Market):
Reflects indecision; avoid entering trades during these periods unless other signals support a strategy.
Volume Confirmation:
Combine volume analysis with buyer/seller pressure to confirm trends.
Example: A high daily volume with strong buyer pressure signals a high-probability uptrend.
Set Alerts:
Enable alerts to receive real-time notifications when the market generates strong buy/sell signals or enters a neutral zone.
Who Can Benefit:
* Day Traders: Quickly assess intraday market dynamics and volume trends.
* Swing Traders: Identify breakout opportunities or reversal points based on strong buyer/seller pressure.
* Volume Analysts: Compare historical volume averages to current conditions for deeper insights.
Limitations:
Does not guarantee success—should be combined with other technical indicators or strategies.
In low-volume markets, signals may produce false positives or unreliable results.
Assumes traders have basic knowledge of price action and volume analysis.
By integrating this indicator into your strategy, you gain a powerful tool to analyze buyer/seller dominance alongside volume trends, improving your market timing and trade execution.
The Buyer and Seller Pressure components in this indicator provide crucial insights into the market's sentiment and momentum by analyzing the price action relative to the trading volume. Here's how they are used:
1. Buyer Pressure:
Formula:
Buyer Pressure = (Close − Open) / (High − Low )
Interpretation:
* A high buyer pressure (≥ 0.75) indicates strong bullish sentiment, where the price closes much higher than it opened, and the range (high-low) is sufficiently wide.
* It identifies periods of aggressive buying, often signaling potential bullish trends or confirming upward momentum.
2. Seller Pressure:
Formula:
Seller Pressure = (Close − Open ) / (High -Low )
Interpretation:
*A high seller pressure (≥ 0.75) suggests strong bearish sentiment, where the price closes much lower than it opened, within a wide range.
*It helps identify periods of aggressive selling, signaling potential bearish trends or downward momentum.
Purpose in the Indicator:
1. Market Sentiment Analysis:
* Buyer Pressure and Seller Pressure allow traders to gauge market sentiment—whether buyers or sellers dominate a particular time frame.
* This helps in identifying trend reversals or confirmations.
2. Decision-Making Framework:
* The indicator uses thresholds (default 0.75) to classify the market into:
* Strong Buy Signal: When buyer pressure is dominant.
* Strong Sell Signal: When seller pressure is dominant.
* Neutral Signal: When neither buyer nor seller pressure dominates.
*This classification provides a straightforward decision-making tool for traders.
Risk Management:
*By identifying periods of strong buying or selling, traders can avoid entering trades in highly volatile or one-sided markets, which helps reduce risk.
Volume Confirmation:
*Integrating volume data with buyer/seller pressure helps confirm trends. For example:
*High buyer pressure accompanied by higher-than-average volume strengthens the bullish signal.
*Similarly, high seller pressure with higher-than-average volume confirms bearish signals.
Trade Timing:
*The indicator highlights conditions of potential entry (strong buy) or exit (strong sell), allowing traders to time their trades better based on real-time market activity.
Use Case:
*Example:
*Suppose the indicator shows Buyer Pressure = 0.85 with daily volume above the 3-day average. This combination suggests strong bullish activity with momentum, signaling a buy opportunity.
*Conversely, if Seller Pressure = 0.80 with volume above the 5-day average, it signals strong bearish momentum, ideal for selling or shorting.
This indicator combines buyer/seller pressure with volume dynamics, making it valuable for short-term and intraday traders looking for precise market entries and exits.
The background color in this indicator plays an important visual role in helping traders quickly identify the market sentiment based on buyer and seller pressure. It provides a dynamic, color-coded background that changes depending on the strength of the market's buying or selling activity.
Here's how it works:
Background Color Logic:
1. Green Background (Strong Buy Signal):
*Condition: The background turns green when buyer pressure is greater than or equal to 0.75 (strong buying pressure).
*Interpretation: A green background indicates that there is significant bullish sentiment in the market, with strong buying activity. Traders can interpret this as an environment conducive to buying or holding long positions.
*Visual Effect: This helps to quickly spot bullish market conditions, reinforcing potential entry signals for buyers.
2.Red Background (Strong Sell Signal):
*Condition: The background turns red when seller pressure is greater than or equal to 0.75 (strong selling pressure).
*Interpretation: A red background indicates that the market is dominated by selling, showing strong bearish sentiment. Traders can consider this as a signal to sell or short the asset.
*Visual Effect: The red background highlights moments when the market is heavily selling, prompting traders to either exit long positions or take short positions.
Gray Background (Neutral/Indecision Zone):
Condition: The background turns gray when neither buyer nor seller pressure exceeds 0.75. This means the market is neutral, with no dominant bullish or bearish sentiment.
Interpretation: A gray background suggests market indecision or balance between buyers and sellers. It can indicate periods of consolidation or sideways movement where no strong trend is forming.
Visual Effect: The gray background helps traders avoid entering trades when the market lacks a clear direction or when the sentiment is neutral, reducing risk during indecisive times.
Practical Use:
Instant Visual Confirmation:
*Traders can use the background color as an instant confirmation of the market’s sentiment. For instance, if the background turns green, traders might feel more confident in making a long (buy) trade.
*If the background turns red, it serves as a strong visual cue to short or exit a long position.
Helps with Trade Timing:
*The background color can be used in conjunction with other indicators and volume data to time entries and exits more effectively. For example:
*A green background with strong volume indicates a strong trend that could justify a buy.
*A red background with a significant volume surge signals strong selling pressure, which could prompt a sell.
Simplifies Market Analysis:
*For traders who prefer visual cues over complex analysis, the background color simplifies market conditions. Instead of focusing on individual numbers or values, the color-coded background gives them a quick, intuitive view of the market sentiment.
Summary:
* Green background = Strong buying pressure (bullish sentiment)
* Red background = Strong selling pressure (bearish sentiment)
* Gray background = Neutral market (indecision or balance between buyers and sellers)
This background color functionality helps traders stay aware of the prevailing market sentiment at a glance, providing an intuitive way to guide trading decisions.
Live Economic Calendar by toodegrees⚠️ PLEASE READ ⚠️
Although this indicator is accurate in showcasing live and upcoming News Events, checking the original sources is always suggested. This indicator aims to save Time, but due to limitations it may not be 100% correct 100% of the Time.
Description:
The Live Economic Calendar indicator seamlessly integrates with external news sources to provide real-Time, upcoming, and past financial news directly on your Tradingview chart.
By having a clear understanding of when news are planned to be released, as well as their respective impact, analysts can prepare their weeks and days in advance. These injections of volatility can be harnessed by analysts to support their thesis, or may want to be avoided to ensure higher probability market conditions. Fundamentals and news releases transcend the boundaries of technical analysis, as their effects are difficult to predict or estimate.
Designed for both novice and experienced traders, the Live Economic Calendar indicator enhances your analysis by keeping you informed of the latest and upcoming market-moving news.
This is achieved with three different visual components:
News Table: A dedicated News Table shows the Day of the Week, Date, Time of the Day, Currency, Expected Impact, and News Name for each event (in chronological order). Once a news event has occurred, or the day is over, it will be greyed out – helping to focus on the next upcoming news events.
News Lines: Vertical lines plotted in the future help analysts monitor upcoming news events; vertical lines in the past help analysts spot and backtest previous news events that already occurred.
News Labels: Color-coded news labels will plot once the news events have occurred. This not only gives analysts a minimalistic visual cue, but also retains the information of which news were released at that Time in their tooltips.
Forex Factory Calendar News Feed:
The Forex Factory Data Feed includes news events from January 2007 to the present. The data is updated daily. Please see the Technical Description below for more information.
Forex Factory provides news for all major currencies and markets:
Australia (AUD)
Canada (CAD)
Switzerland (CHF)
China (CNY)
European Union (EUR)
United Kingdom (GBP)
Japan (JPY)
New Zealand (NZD)
United States of America (USD)
Further, there are four types of news impact, defined by respective color-coding which is retained to avoid confusion:
⚪ Holiday
🟡 Low Impact
🟠 Medium Impact
🔴 High Impact
News' Time of the day data is in 24H format, and 'All Day' news are marked at Daily candle open.
⚠️ Original Release Notes ⚠️
The original release of this indicator supports the Forex Factory News Calendar in EST (New York Time). Future updates will include multiple news sources, as well as supporting different Timezones.
Given Data limitations, the Daily chart can omit some data due to the market being close on some days. This will be fixed in the future once an efficient solution is implemented.
Key Features:
Impact-Based News Filtering: Filter news items based on their expected impact (holiday, low, medium, high) to focus on the most market-critical information.
Symbol-Specific News: Automatically filter news to display only what's relevant to the currency pair or trading symbol you are analyzing.
Custom Currency News: Want to see more than the news relevant to the current symbol? Toggle which markets' news you are most interested in.
Chart History: Keep your charts clean by displaying only the drawings of Today's news, or This Week's news.
Custom Lookback: Look further back in Time by choosing a custom number of Lookback Days, allowing you to backtest and keep in mind salient news events from the past.
Line and Label Customization: Both the News Lines and Labels are highly customizable (except the colors), allowing you to make the indicator yours.
Table History: Choose whether to focus on Today's news only, or the news for This Week.
Table Customization: The table colors and position are highly customizable, allowing you to make it fit your visual preference and your layouts' aesthetic.
"Wondering how it's done? 👇"
Technical Description:
This script utilizes Pine Seeds , a service integrated with TradingView for importing custom data. This stunning feature enables users to upload and access custom End Of Day (EOD) data, which can be updated as frequently as five times daily.
This data can be imported in one of two formats:
Single Value: integer or float
Candle Data: open, high, low, close, volume
Upon encountering Pine Seeds, I recognized its potential for importing financial news events. Given that Forex Factory is a primary source of financial news in my personal analysis, integrating it into my layouts seemed like an exciting opportunity. This integration is expected to provide significant value to users looking to integrate additional news feeds all in one place.
Development Challenges:
Format Limitations: News events must be converted into numerical values for import, due to the required Pine Seeds format.
Amount of Data: With all currencies considered, the system may encounter over 40 news events in a single day.
Data Availability: The reliance on End Of Day (EOD) data means that information for the current day is displayed with a delay, and accessing future data is not possible.
Solutions:
Encoding: Each news event is encoded as an integer in the "DCHHMMITYP" format.
D = day of the week
C = currency
HHMM = Time of day
I = news impact
TYP = event ID (see Event Library A and Event Library B )
To ensure data assignment for each candle across the open, high, low, close, and volume series, the value "999" is used as a placeholder:
Importing: Utilizing the encoding system, up to five news events per day can be imported for a singular Pine Seeds custom symbol.
By creating multiple custom Pine Seeds Symbols, efficient imports of a larger number of events is then easily achievable. Nine unique symbols have been established, accommodating up to 45 news events per day.
These symbols are searchable, and accessible as " TOODEGREES_FOREX_FACTORY_SLOT_N " where N ranges from 1 to 9.
The Pine Seeds data feed appears as follows:
Uploading Schedule: To ensure analysts are informed about current and upcoming week's news, events are uploaded one week in advance.
This approach is vital for preparing for potential market impacts across various asset classes and currencies, allowing visibility of an entire week's news ahead of Time.
Data Scraping:
Unfortunately Forex Factory doesn't offer an API to fetch their news feed.
Hence an ad hoc python scraper was developed to read and save news events from January 2007 till the present leveraging Selenium. The scraper algorithm is part of a larger script responsible for scraping data, formatting data, and creating all necessary datasets.
The pseudo-code for the python script is as follows:
Read and save news event data on Forex Factory
Format day of the week, currency, Time of the day, and impact data for the Encoding
Encode and save News Event IDs – Event ID dataset is created
Format news data for Pine Seeds (roll-back date by one week, assign news to open, high, low, close, and volume values)
Create Pine Seeds Datasets
This script is ran everyday at Futures market close (16:00 EST) to update the last part of the each dataset, ensuring accuracy, and taking into account last-minute news additions or revisions.
Once the data (next week's news) is imported by the Live Economic Calendar indicator, it's immediately decoded by leveraging the Forex Factory Decoding Library , and saved into an array.
Upon a new week open, the decoded data is used to plot news events on the chart and in the news table.
See the inner workings of these processes in the Forex Factory Utility Library .
Although these libraries are specifically built for this indicator, feel free to use them to create your own scripts. Looking forward to see what the Pine Script community comes up with!
Thank you for making it this far. Enjoy!

Stochastic based on Closing Prices - Identify and Rank TrendsStochClose is a trend indicator that can be used on its own to measure trend strength, in a scan to rank a group of securities according to trend strength or as part of a trend following strategy. Moreover, it acts as a volatility-adjusted trend indicator that puts securities on an equal footing.
StochClose measures the location of the current close relative to the close-only high-low range over a given period of time. In contrast to the traditional Stochastic Oscillator, this indicator only uses closing prices. Traditional Stochastic uses intraday highs and lows to calculate the range. The focus on closing prices reduces signal noise caused by intraday highs and lows, and filters out errant or irrationally exuberant price spikes.
Here are some examples when the high or low was out of proportion and suspect. Perhaps most famously, there were errant spike lows in dozens of ETFs in August 2015 (XLK, IJR, ITB). There were other spikes in VMBS (October 2014), IJR (October 2008) and KRE (May 2011). Elsewhere, there were suspicious spikes in IEI (April 2020), CHD (March 2020), CCRN (March 2020) and FNB (March 2020)
The preferred setting to identify medium and long-term uptrends is 125 days with 5 days smoothing. 125 days covers around six months. Thus, StochClose(125,5) is a 5-day SMA of the 125-day Stochastic based on closing prices. Smoothing with the 5-day SMA introduces a little lag, but reduces whipsaws and signal noise.
StochClose fluctuates between 0 and 100 with 50 as the midpoint. Values above 80 indicate that the current price is near the high end of the 125-day range, while values below 20 indicate that price is near the low end of the range. For signals, a move above 60 puts the indicator firmly in the top half of the range and points to an uptrend. A move below 40 puts the indicator firmly in the bottom half of the range and points to a downtrend.
StochClose values can also be ranked to separate the leaders from the laggards. In contrast to Rate-of-Change and Percentage Above/Below a Moving Average, StochClose acts as a volatility-adjusted indicator that can identify trend strength or weakness. The Consumer Staples SPDR is unlikely to win in a Rate-of-Change contest with the Technology SPDR. However, it is just as easy for the Consumer Staples SPDR to get in the top of its range as it is for the Technology SPDR. StochClose puts securities on an equal footing.
StochClose measures trend direction and trend strength with one number. The indicator value tells us immediately if the security is trending higher or lower. Furthermore, we can compare this value against the values for other securities. Securities with higher StochClose values are stronger than those with lower values.
IU Pivot Zones + GMADESCRIPTION:
IU Pivot Zones + GMA is a smart price-action-based indicator that detects meaningful support and resistance zones formed through pivot highs/lows while combining them with dynamic zone generation and Geometric Moving Averages (GMA). This tool is built to help traders visualize institutional breakout/rejection zones with clear, logical mapping and live box management — helping you stay ahead of the move.
The indicator is designed for intraday, swing, and positional traders who want to enhance their trading decisions with visual confluence zones and market structure logic.
USER INPUTS
* Pivot point Lengths: Number of bars used to detect pivot highs/lows
* Zone length: Controls the thickness of the support/resistance zone; higher values create wider zones
* GMA Length: Period for calculating the geometric moving averages based on highs and lows
* Allow Bar/candle Color: Enables or disables special candle coloring when price interacts with the zones
LOGIC OF THE INDICATOR:
* Detects pivot highs and pivot lows using the user-defined length
* Compares consecutive pivot levels to determine if they fall within a valid ATR-based price band to form a zone
* If confirmed, the indicator dynamically plots a resistance or support box between those pivot points, colored respectively (red for resistance, green for support)
* The boxes update in real-time based on price action. If price respects the zone, the box extends forward. If price breaks the zone, the box disappears
* Geometric Moving Averages (GMA) based on logarithmic mean of highs and lows are plotted to offer a trend bias
* Candles that touch the top of the support zone are colored yellow, and those touching the bottom of the resistance zone are orange, enhancing zone reaction visibility
WHY IT IS UNIQUE:
* Uses logarithmic-based GMAs, which are smoother and less reactive than traditional moving averages
* ATR-based zone logic makes it adaptive to volatility instead of using fixed-width zones
* Combines structural levels (pivots), volatility filters (ATR), and trend overlays (GMA) in one unified tool
* Real-time zone extension and disappearance logic based on price interaction
HOW USER CAN BENEFIT FROM IT:
* Spot high-probability breakout or reversal zones that price respects consistently
* Use the GMA cloud for trend confirmation — for example, bullish bias when price is above both GMAs
* Build price action strategies around zone touches, breakouts, or rejections
* Use color-coded candles as real-time alerts for potential entry/exit signals near S/R levels
* Save time by avoiding manual marking of zones on charts across timeframes
DISCLAIMER:
This indicator is created for educational and informational purposes only. It does not constitute financial advice or a recommendation to buy or sell any asset. All trading involves risk, and users should conduct their own analysis or consult with a qualified financial advisor before making any trading decisions.

Liqudation HeatMap [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
An advanced liquidity visualization tool that plots horizontal heat zones to highlight where potential liquidations and volume clusters are most likely hiding beneath price action.
Liqudation HeatMap scans historical price movements for local highs and lows with elevated volume or candle range. It then draws dynamic heatmap boxes—shaded from lime (low interest) to yellow (high interest)—revealing potential zones of trapped positions or stop clusters. A vertical scale on the right shows you the relative strength of volume behind each level, from 0 to the highest detected.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Maps areas of potential liquidity using volume or candle range (if volume is unavailable).
Identifies swing highs/lows (pivots) and extends heatmap boxes outward from these levels. Colors each zone based on the relative strength of volume concentration.
Fades or removes zones once price crosses their midpoints, simulating the idea of liquidity being “consumed.”
Displays a live vertical scale that shows the volume range for quick reference.
🔵 FEATURES
Dynamic Heatmap Zones:
Draws few boxes above and after pivot highs and below pivot lows, each shaded based on volume concentration.
Smart Coloring System:
Uses a gradient from lime (low) to yellow (high) to visually distinguish between weak and strong liquidity zones.
Adaptive ATR Widths:
Automatically adjusts zone thickness based on volatility (ATR), scaling intelligently across timeframes.
Liquidity Consumption Logic:
Zones are stope extending once price interacts with them—mimicking the behavior of real liquidation sweeps.
Volume Scale Legend:
A real-time scale is plotted on the right side, showing the min-max range of volume used for heat calculations.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Look for thick yellow zones to identify areas of concentrated stop losses or liquidation triggers.
Use these levels to anticipate mean reversion points or high-volatility zones.
Combine with your trend or structure tools to trade into or fade these liquidity pools.
On lower timeframes, use this tool to confirm entries around sweeps or deviations.
Use the right-side scale to compare relative zone strength instantly.
🔵 CONCLUSION
Liqudation HeatMap is a powerful visualization tool that uncovers where liquidity likely resides on the chart. By highlighting hidden traps and reactive levels in real-time, it gives traders a significant edge when it comes to spotting stop hunts, mean reversions, and areas of institutional interest. Whether you’re scalping or swing trading, this heatmap provides unmatched context on the market’s hidden intent.
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.
Trading Strategy
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.
Alerts
Set alerts for:
• “Bullish FVG Detected”/“Bearish FVG Detected”: New FVGs in selected windows.
• “Bullish Signal”/“Bearish Signal”: iFVG retest confirmations.
Settings Description
• Show Last (1–100, default: 5): Number of recent iFVGs to display. Lower values reduce clutter.
• Show only 1st presented FVG : Limits FVGs to the first in 9:30–10:00 AM or 1:30–2:00 PM EST sessions (overrides time window checkboxes).
• Time Window Checkboxes: Enable/disable FVG detection in 10-minute windows (:00–:10, :10–:20, etc.). All enabled by default.
• Signal Preference: “Close” (default) or “Wick” for iFVG retest signals.
• Use ATR Filter: Enables ATR-based size filtering (default: true).
• ATR Multiplier (0–∞, default: 0.25): Sets FVG size threshold (higher values = larger gaps).
• Remove Mitigated FVGs: Removes filled FVGs/iFVGs (default: true).
• Show FVG Labels: Displays “Bull FVG”/“Bear FVG” labels (default: true).
• Timezone Offset (-12 to 12, default: -5): Aligns time windows with EST.
• Colors: Customize bullish (green), bearish (red), and midline (gray) colors.

Combined + Reversal By DemirkanThis indicator is a comprehensive tool designed to identify potential trend reversals, trend direction, and entry/exit points by combining multiple technical analysis instruments. It includes the following components:
Two Reversal Lines (Based on Donchian Channel): Two lines with different periods indicate potential support/resistance levels and trend changes.
Hull Moving Average (HMA): A smoother, less lagging moving average helps determine trend direction and short-term momentum.
Fibonacci Level: A dynamic Fibonacci retracement level, calculated based on the highest high and lowest low over a specific period, serves as a potential support or area of interest.
Signal Generation: Produces Buy/Sell signals based on the crossovers and conditions of these components.
Visual Aids: Enhances interpretation by coloring the area between lines, coloring candlesticks, and adding labels.
Detailed Component Description:
Input Parameters (Settings):
Reversal Line 1 Length (Default: 100): The period (number of bars) used to calculate the first reversal line. Longer periods capture slower, more significant trends.
Reversal Line 2 Length (Default: 33): The period used to calculate the second reversal line. Shorter periods react to faster, shorter-term changes.
HMA Length (Default: 100): The period for calculating the Hull Moving Average.
Source (Default: close): The price source used for all calculations (close, open, high, low, etc.).
Reversal Line Bar Offset (Default: 3): Determines how many bars forward the Reversal Lines are shifted on the chart. This can make signals appear slightly earlier (or later, depending on the strategy). 0 means no shift.
Fibonacci Level (Default: 0.382): Specifies the Fibonacci retracement level (between 0.0 and 1.0). Common levels like 0.382, 0.5, 0.618 can be used.
Lookback Period (Default: 20): The period (number of bars) over which to look back for the highest high and lowest low to calculate the Fibonacci level.
Price Margin (Default: 0.005): Tolerance (as a percentage) determining how close the price needs to be to the Fibonacci level to be considered "at the level". E.g., 0.005 = 0.5%. If the price is within 0.5% of the calculated Fibonacci level, the condition is met.
Calculations:
donchian(len) Function: Calculates the average (math.avg) of the highest high (ta.highest) and lowest low (ta.lowest) over a specific period (len). This is effectively the midline of a classic Donchian Channel and is used here as the "Reversal Line".
Reversal Lines (conversionLine1, conversionLine2): Calculated using the donchian function based on the user-defined conversionPeriods1 and conversionPeriods2 lengths.
Hull Moving Average (hullMA): Calculated using the hma function. This function uniquely combines Weighted Moving Averages (WMA) to achieve less lag.
Fibonacci Level Calculation (fibLevel1, isAtFibLevel): Finds the highest high and lowest low within the lookbackPeriod, calculates the range (priceRange). fibLevel1 is determined by subtracting priceRange * fibLevel from the highest high (representing a retracement level). isAtFibLevel checks if the current closing price is within the priceMargin tolerance of the calculated fibLevel1.
Visual Elements (Plots/Drawing):
plot(conversionLine1 , ...): Plots the first reversal line in blue, shifted forward by barOffset.
plot(conversionLine2 , ...): Plots the second reversal line in black, shifted forward by barOffset.
plot(hullMA, ...): Plots the Hull Moving Average in orange.
plot(fibLevel1, ...): Plots the calculated Fibonacci level as a light blue, dashed line.
fill(...): Fills the area between the two (shifted) reversal lines. The area is colored blue if conversionLine1 > conversionLine2 (often interpreted as bullish) and red otherwise (bearish). The color transparency is set to 90 (almost opaque).
label.*: Adds labels at trend change points. A "Buy" label appears when the area turns blue (Line 1 crosses above Line 2), and a "Sell" label appears when it turns red (Line 1 crosses below Line 2). Labels appear once when the trend starts and are updated/deleted when the trend changes.
plotshape(...): Plots shapes (arrows/labels) on the chart when specific conditions are met:
Reversal Crossover Signals: A green up arrow (shape.labelup) appears when conversionLine2 crosses above conversionLine1 (Buy Signal - buySignal). A red down arrow (shape.labeldown) appears when conversionLine1 crosses below conversionLine2 (Sell Signal - sellSignal).
Hull MA Signals: A green up arrow (hullBuySignal) appears when the price closes above the HMA after being below it. A red down arrow (hullSellSignal) appears when the price closes below the HMA after being above it.
Fibonacci Buy Signal: A purple up arrow (fibBuySignal) appears when both the price is near the calculated Fibonacci level (isAtFibLevel) and a Hull MA Buy signal (hullBuySignal) occurs simultaneously. This signifies a "confluence" signal.
barcolor(...): Changes the color of the candlesticks. Bars turn blue on a Hull MA Buy signal (hullBuySignal) and red on a Hull MA Sell signal (hullSellSignal). Otherwise, the bar color remains the default chart color.
How to Use / Interpret:
Trend Direction:
Observe the color of the filled area between the reversal lines (Blue = Uptrend, Red = Downtrend).
Note whether the price is above or below the Hull MA.
Consider the slope of the Hull MA (upward or downward).
Entry/Exit Signals:
Aggressive: Use the crossovers of the reversal lines (buySignal, sellSignal). Green arrow suggests buy, red arrow suggests sell.
Trend Following: Use the HMA crossovers (hullBuySignal, hullSellSignal). Green arrow suggests buy, red arrow suggests sell. The bar colors also confirm these signals visually.
Confirmed Buy: Look for the Fibonacci Buy Signal (Purple arrow). When the price reaches a potential support level (Fibonacci) and simultaneously gets an HMA Buy signal, it can be considered a stronger buy indication.
Support/Resistance:
The reversal lines themselves can act as dynamic support/resistance levels.
The plotted Fibonacci level (fibLevel1) can be monitored as a potential retracement and support zone.
Strategy:
Confluence (multiple signals aligning) can increase confidence. For example, a buySignal or hullBuySignal occurring while the HMA is pointing up and the fill area is blue might be considered stronger.
Adjust the barOffset parameter to fine-tune the timing of the visual signals according to your trading style.
Use the Fibonacci Buy signal to potentially find entry points after pullbacks in an uptrend or near potential bottoms after a decline.
Important Notes:
No single indicator provides 100% accurate signals. It's crucial to use this indicator in conjunction with other analysis methods (price action, chart patterns, volume, etc.) and sound risk management strategies.
The indicator's performance might vary in different market conditions (trending, sideways) and across different timeframes. Backtesting before live trading is recommended.
The barOffset value shifts the plotting of the lines forward visually but does not change the time at which the underlying calculation occurs (it's still based on the data up to the current closing bar).
PriorHourRangeLevels_v0.1PriorHourRangeLevels_v0.1
Created by dc_77 | © 2025 | Mozilla Public License 2.0
Overview
"PriorHourRangeLevels_v0.1" is a versatile Pine Script™ indicator designed to help traders visualize and analyze price levels based on the prior hour’s range. It overlays key levels—High, Low, 75%, 50% (EQ), and 25%—from the previous hour onto the current price chart, alongside the current hour’s opening price. With customizable display options and time zone support, it’s ideal for intraday traders looking to identify support, resistance, and breakout zones.
How It Works
Hourly Reset: The indicator detects the start of each hour based on your chosen time zone (e.g., "America/New_York" by default).
Prior Hour Range: It calculates the High and Low of the previous hour, then derives three additional levels:
75%: 75% of the range above the Low.
EQ (50%): The midpoint of the range.
25%: 25% of the range above the Low.
Current Hour Open: Displays the opening price of the current hour.
Projection: Lines extend forward (default: 24 bars) to project these levels into the future, aiding in real-time analysis.
Alerts: Triggers alerts when the price crosses any of the prior hour’s levels (High, 75%, EQ, 25%, Low).
Key Features
Time Zone Flexibility: Choose from options like UTC, New York, Tokyo, or London to align with your trading session.
Visual Customization:
Toggle visibility for each level (High, Low, 75%, EQ, 25%, Open, and Anchor).
Adjust line styles (Solid, Dashed, Dotted), colors, and widths.
Show or hide labels with adjustable sizes (Tiny, Small, Normal, Large).
Anchor Line: A vertical line marks the start of the prior hour, with optional labeling.
Alert Conditions: Set up notifications for price crossings to catch key moments without watching the chart.
Usage Tips
Use the High and Low as potential breakout levels, while 75%, EQ, and 25% act as intermediate support/resistance zones.
Trend Confirmation: Watch how price interacts with the EQ (50%) level to gauge momentum.
Session Planning: Adjust the time zone to match your market (e.g., "Europe/London" for FTSE trading).
Projection Offset: Extend or shorten the lines (via "Projection Offset") based on your chart timeframe.
Inputs
Time Zone: Select your preferred market time zone.
Anchor Settings: Show/hide the prior hour start line, style, color, width, and label.
Level Settings: Customize visibility, style, color, width, and labels for Open, High, 75%, EQ, 25%, and Low.
Display: Set projection length and label size.

[SHORT ONLY] Internal Bar Strength (IBS) Mean Reversion Strategy█ STRATEGY DESCRIPTION
The "Internal Bar Strength (IBS) Strategy" is a mean-reversion strategy designed to identify trading opportunities based on the closing price's position within the daily price range. It enters a short position when the IBS indicates overbought conditions and exits when the IBS reaches oversold levels. This strategy is Short-Only and was designed to be used on the Daily timeframe for Stocks and ETFs.
█ WHAT IS INTERNAL BAR STRENGTH (IBS)?
Internal Bar Strength (IBS) measures where the closing price falls within the high-low range of a bar. It is calculated as:
IBS = (Close - Low) / (High - Low)
- Low IBS (≤ 0.2) : Indicates the close is near the bar's low, suggesting oversold conditions.
- High IBS (≥ 0.8) : Indicates the close is near the bar's high, suggesting overbought conditions.
█ SIGNAL GENERATION
1. SHORT ENTRY
A Short Signal is triggered when:
The IBS value rises to or above the Upper Threshold (default: 0.9).
The Closing price is greater than the previous bars High (close>high ).
The signal occurs within the specified time window (between `Start Time` and `End Time`).
2. EXIT CONDITION
An exit Signal is generated when the IBS value drops to or below the Lower Threshold (default: 0.3). This prompts the strategy to exit the position.
█ ADDITIONAL SETTINGS
Upper Threshold: The IBS level at which the strategy enters trades. Default is 0.9.
Lower Threshold: The IBS level at which the strategy exits short positions. Default is 0.3.
Start Time and End Time: The time window during which the strategy is allowed to execute trades.
█ PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW
This strategy is designed for Stocks and ETFs markets and performs best when prices frequently revert to the mean.
The strategy can be optimized further using additional conditions such as using volume or volatility filters.
It is sensitive to extreme IBS values, which help identify potential reversals.
Backtesting results should be analyzed to optimize the Upper/Lower Thresholds for specific instruments and market conditions.

My auto dual avwap with Auto swing low/pivot low finderWelcome to My Auto Dual AVWAP with Auto Swing Low/Pivot Low Finder – an open-source TradingView indicator designed to enhance your technical analysis toolbox. This indicator is published under the Mozilla Public License 2.0 and is available for anyone to study, modify, and distribute.
Key Features
Auto Pivot/Swing Low Finder:
In addition to VWAP lines, the indicator incorporates an automatic detection mechanism for swing lows/pivot lows. This feature assists in identifying potential support areas and price reversals, further enhancing your trading strategy.
Dual VWAP Calculation with high/low range:
The indicator calculates two separate volume-weighted average price (VWAP) lines based on different price inputs (low and high prices) and defined time sessions. This allows traders to gain a more nuanced view of market activity during specific trading periods.
Customizable Time Sessions:
You can specify distinct start and end times for each VWAP calculation session. This flexibility helps you align the indicator with your preferred trading hours or market sessions, making it adaptable to various time zones and trading styles.
Easy to Customize:
With clear code structure and detailed comments, the script is designed to be accessible even for traders who want to customize or extend its functionality. Whether you're a seasoned coder or just starting out, the code is written with transparency in mind.
How It Works
Session Initialization:
The script sets up two distinct time sessions using user-defined start and end times. For each session, it detects the beginning of the trading period to reset cumulative values.
Cumulative Calculations:
During each session, the indicator accumulates the product of price and volume as well as the total volume. The VWAP is then computed as the ratio of these cumulative values.
Dual Data Sources:
Two separate data inputs (using low and high prices) are used to calculate two VWAP lines. This dual approach provides a broader perspective on market trends and can help in identifying dynamic support and resistance levels.
Visualization:
The calculated VWAP lines are plotted directly on your chart with distinct colors and thickness settings for easy visualization. This makes it simple to interpret the data at a glance.
Why Use This Indicator?
Whether you are a day trader, swing trader, or simply looking to refine your market analysis, My Auto Dual AVWAP with Auto Swing Low/Pivot Low Finder offers a robust set of features that can help you identify key price levels and improve your decision-making process. Its open-source nature invites collaboration and customization, ensuring that you can tailor it to fit your unique trading style.
