Apex Edge - VantageApex Edge – Vantage
Quarter-Wick Reversal System | Price Action Based | Non-Repainting | Visual Confirmation Tool
Overview:
Apex Edge – Vantage is a precision price action indicator built to assist traders in identifying high-probability reversal entries — not based on indicators, but on how candles behave at their extremes.
This tool implements a clean, repeatable framework that reflects how I personally trade:
Spot a candle that closes with strong directional intent,
Then wait for a controlled pullback into the outer quarter,
And strike — only if price respects that line.
There’s no magic here — just raw, tactical logic visualized clearly on your chart. It's not designed to predict the market — it's built to respond when price offers you Vantage.
Core Logic:
Dot Detection – Final Quarter Close Candles
A green dot prints below a bullish candle if it closes within the top 25% of its wick-to-wick range.
A red dot prints above a bearish candle if it closes within the bottom 25% of its range.
These dots signify candles that made a strong, deliberate move in one direction — where price was pushed to an extreme and held that extreme into the close. These candles often signal institutional intent or momentum imbalance.
Entry Confirmation – Controlled Wick Rebalance
On the very next candle only, price must wick into the prior dot candle's outer quarter — but must not pass beyond it.
For buy entries, the wick must enter the bottom 25% of the previous green dot candle, but not dip below it.
For sell entries, the wick must reach into the top 25% of the red dot candle, but not exceed it.
This wick into the quarter is seen as a controlled rebalancing — a tactical reaction back into the origin zone before potential continuation.
Arrow Printing – Visual Entry Signal
Once the entry criteria are confirmed, an arrow is printed after the candle closes.
This arrow continues to print on each new candle as long as price does not violate the original entry zone — giving visual confirmation that the trade thesis is still valid.
If price breaks above/below the quarter range, the arrow disappears.
This ongoing confirmation is useful for staying in trades, managing risk, or spotting failed setups early.
Automatic Stop Loss Level
A horizontal Stop Loss line is drawn from the extreme wick of the original dot candle.
For buy entries, SL is placed below the green dot candle's low.
For sell entries, SL is placed above the red dot candle's high.
This provides immediate risk context — perfect for traders using limit orders or looking to scale in.
Coding Logic:
This script uses plotshape() and plot() functions for all visual elements.
Dot candles are identified using quarter-range logic via:
pinescript
Copy
Edit
close >= high - (high - low) * 0.25 // for bullish
close <= low + (high - low) * 0.25 // for bearish
Entry validation logic triggers only on the next candle, using:
pinescript
Copy
Edit
low >= quarterLine and low <= high // for buy entries
high <= quarterLine and high >= low // for sell entries
Arrows and SL lines are plotted only on closed candles, ensuring non-repainting behavior.
alertcondition() is used for real-time alerts on valid buy/sell triggers.
How I Personally Use It:
I wait for a dot to print — this shows directional conviction.
On the next candle, I watch for a tap into the outer quarter.
If the wick meets the criteria and the candle closes, I’ll execute manually at the close of that candle.
As long as the arrow remains on the chart, I know the setup hasn’t been invalidated.
I combine this with market structure, session timing, and liquidity context to build confluence around each trade.
Alerts Included:
Buy Entry Alert: When a green arrow prints (entry confirmed)
Sell Entry Alert: When a red arrow prints (entry confirmed)
These fire once per confirmed signal, allowing you to react in real-time or automate if desired.
Who This Is For:
Manual traders who want clean price-based entries
Anyone who uses market structure, SMC, or liquidity concepts
Traders looking to replace indicators with pure candle logic
Discretionary or semi-systematic traders who want visual tools to guide their decisions
Final Word
Apex Edge – Vantage doesn’t predict price — it shows you where price is offering you control.
This is a surgical tool designed to help you act only when the market gives you a measurable edge — and to stay in the trade as long as that edge holds.
If you're ready to stop chasing trades and start striking from a position of Vantage, then this tool belongs on your chart.

Z-Score Volume with CVD Clustering Script Title:
Z-Score Volume with CVD Clustering & NY VWAP
📘 Description:
This indicator combines statistical volume analysis with order flow confirmation to detect high-probability trade zones and volume-based divergences.
📌 Components:
Z-Score of Volume: Identifies statistically significant volume surges or drops relative to a moving average baseline.
Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD): Gauges net buying vs. selling pressure using high-frequency bid/ask delta.
K-Means Clustering: Applies clustering logic to classify each bar into:
Cluster 2 – Strong Bullish: Z-Score and CVD both strong
Cluster 1 – Divergence / Bull Trap: Z-Score high, but weak CVD
Cluster 0 – Neutral / Noise: No clear alignment
Anchored VWAP (NY Session Open): Confirms market structure and institutional trend bias from 9:30 AM ET forward.
🎯 Suggested Applications:
✅ 1. Trend Continuation Entries (Add-ons):
Look to add to positions when:
Cluster 2 signal occurs
Price is above the NY session VWAP
Price structure has broken out of prior day high/low or range
⚠️ 2. Divergence Detection (Fade Traps):
Cluster 1 signals a bearish divergence (e.g., high volume but weak CVD).
Especially useful when price is failing to stay above VWAP.
Useful for early exits or reversal setups.
📊 3. Volume Profile Confirmation:
Combine with fixed or session-based volume profile tools.
Use Z-Score clusters to confirm volume spikes into low-volume nodes (LVNs) or during imbalance transitions.
📍 4. VWAP Structure Confirmation:
Anchored VWAP acts as a dynamic reference point.
Helps confirm acceptance vs. rejection zones at key institutional levels.
📈 Visuals & Alerts:
Color-coded volume bars show intensity of Z-Score & CVD confluence
CVD Line plots real-time delta bias with green/red coloring
Cluster-based shape markers highlight key bars for actionable signals
Optional: Add alerts for Cluster 2 above VWAP or Cluster 1 below VWAP
⚙️ Customization Options:
Adjustable Z-Score length
Custom anchor timeframe for CVD (e.g., 1D or sessions)
Adjustable max lookback depth
Toggle VWAP inclusion
Extendable to include additional filters: RSI, structure break alerts, etc.
🔧 Ideal Use Cases:
NY session intraday traders (ES, NQ, CL, 6E, FX pairs)
Breakout traders wanting order flow confirmation
Mean reversion traders spotting fake moves
Volume-based scalpers looking for edge on short-term order imbalance

The Essa System V1.5The Essa System V1.5
Overview
The Essa System is a comprehensive trading strategy and backtesting tool designed for traders who use market structure and Fibonacci retracements. It automatically identifies significant trading ranges, calculates key retracement levels, and then backtests a complete trading strategy based on entries at these levels.
This is more than just an indicator; it's a full suite of analytical tools designed to help you develop, test, and analyze a complete trading plan directly on your chart.
How It Works
The system's logic is based on a classic price action concept:
Range Detection: First, it automatically identifies a significant trading range by finding the highest high and lowest low based on pivot points over a user-defined lookback period.
Fibonacci Analysis: Once the range direction (bullish or bearish) is established, the script calculates and displays key Fibonacci retracement levels (50%, 61.8%, 70.5%, and 78.6%).
Trade Execution: The system then looks for historical and live trading opportunities, entering a trade when the price pulls back to one of the enabled Fibonacci levels. All trades are managed with a predefined Stop Loss and Take Profit in pips.
Key Features
Automatic Range & Fibonacci Analysis: Automatically draws the primary trading range and key Fib levels, updating as market structure evolves.
Historical Backtesting: Plots all historical trade entries based on the strategy rules, allowing for a complete performance review over the chosen chart history.
Detailed Trade Visuals: Displays active trades on the chart with clear lines and boxes for entry, stop loss, and take profit zones.
Advanced Session Filtering: Allows you to isolate trades to specific market sessions (London, New York, Asia) with timezone support and daily trade limits.
Built-in Risk Management: A cornerstone of the system. It automatically calculates the required position size for each trade based on your specified Account Size, Risk Percentage, and Stop Loss.
Comprehensive Performance Tables: The script includes two powerful analytical tables:
Trade Helper Table: Shows the status of live or potential upcoming trades, including entry/SL/TP prices and the calculated position size.
History Table: Logs all recent trades and calculates key statistics like Profit Factor, Win Rate, and the overall PnL impact on your account balance.
Customizable Strategy: Fine-tune every aspect of the strategy with inputs for the lookback period, SL/TP in pips, which Fib levels are tradable, and a cooldown timer to prevent over-trading.
How to Use
Add the indicator to your chart.
Navigate to the settings and, under "Account Settings," configure your Account Size and Risk Per Trade (%). This is essential for the PnL and position sizing calculations to be meaningful.
Under "Session Filter Settings," adjust the sessions you wish to trade.
Analyze the historical trades and the performance tables to understand the strategy's behaviour on your chosen asset and timeframe.
Disclaimer: This is a tool for strategy analysis and backtesting. It is not financial advice. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Always use proper risk management.

Tsallis Entropy Market RiskTsallis Entropy Market Risk Indicator
What Is It?
The Tsallis Entropy Market Risk Indicator is a market analysis tool that measures the degree of randomness or disorder in price movements. Unlike traditional technical indicators that focus on price patterns or momentum, this indicator takes a statistical physics approach to market analysis.
Scientific Foundation
The indicator is based on Tsallis entropy, a generalization of traditional Shannon entropy developed by physicist Constantino Tsallis. The Tsallis entropy is particularly effective at analyzing complex systems with long-range correlations and memory effects—precisely the characteristics found in crypto and stock markets.
The indicator also borrows from Log-Periodic Power Law (LPPL).
Core Concepts
1. Entropy Deficit
The primary measurement is the "entropy deficit," which represents how far the market is from a state of maximum randomness:
Low Entropy Deficit (0-0.3): The market exhibits random, uncorrelated price movements typical of efficient markets
Medium Entropy Deficit (0.3-0.5): Some patterns emerging, moderate deviation from randomness
High Entropy Deficit (0.5-0.7): Strong correlation patterns, potentially indicating herding behavior
Extreme Entropy Deficit (0.7-1.0): Highly ordered price movements, often seen before significant market events
2. Multi-Scale Analysis
The indicator calculates entropy across different timeframes:
Short-term Entropy (blue line): Captures recent market behavior (20-day window)
Long-term Entropy (green line): Captures structural market behavior (120-day window)
Main Entropy (purple line): Primary measurement (60-day window)
3. Scale Ratio
This measures the relationship between long-term and short-term entropy. A healthy market typically has a scale ratio above 0.85. When this ratio drops below 0.85, it suggests abnormal relationships between timeframes that often precede market dislocations.
How It Works
Data Collection: The indicator samples price returns over specific lookback periods
Probability Distribution Estimation: It creates a histogram of these returns to estimate their probability distribution
Entropy Calculation: Using the Tsallis q-parameter (typically 1.5), it calculates how far this distribution is from maximum entropy
Normalization: Results are normalized against theoretical maximum entropy to create the entropy deficit measure
Risk Assessment: Multiple factors are combined to generate a composite risk score and classification
Market Interpretation
Low Risk Environments (Risk Score < 25)
Market is functioning efficiently with reasonable randomness
Price discovery is likely effective
Normal trading and investment approaches appropriate
Medium Risk Environments (Risk Score 25-50)
Increasing correlation in price movements
Beginning of trend formation or momentum
Time to monitor positions more closely
High Risk Environments (Risk Score 50-75)
Strong herding behavior present
Market potentially becoming one-sided
Consider reducing position sizes or implementing hedges
Extreme Risk Environments (Risk Score > 75)
Highly ordered market behavior
Significant imbalance between buyers and sellers
Heightened probability of sharp reversals or corrections
Practical Application Examples
Market Tops: Often characterized by gradually increasing entropy deficit as momentum builds, followed by extreme readings near the actual top
Market Bottoms: Can show high entropy deficit during capitulation, followed by normalization
Range-Bound Markets: Typically display low and stable entropy deficit measurements
Trending Markets: Often show moderate entropy deficit that remains relatively consistent
Advantages Over Traditional Indicators
Forward-Looking: Identifies changing market structure before price action confirms it
Statistical Foundation: Based on robust mathematical principles rather than empirical patterns
Adaptability: Functions across different market regimes and asset classes
Noise Filtering: Focuses on meaningful structural changes rather than price fluctuations
Limitations
Not a Timing Tool: Signals market risk conditions, not precise entry/exit points
Parameter Sensitivity: Results can vary based on the chosen parameters
Historical Context: Requires some historical perspective to interpret effectively
Complementary Tool: Works best alongside other analysis methods

Smart Money Trap SignalSmart Money Trap Signal – Indicator Description
The Smart Money Trap Signal is a precision-based trading tool designed to identify areas where institutional traders (smart money) are likely to trap retail traders through false breakouts and liquidity grabs. These traps often occur near key highs and lows, where retail traders are lured into trades just before price reverses sharply.
🔍 Key Features:
Liquidity Sweep Detection
Identifies false breakouts of recent swing highs or lows, signaling potential liquidity grabs by large players.
Reversal Confirmation
Confirms the trap using a classic price action reversal pattern (bullish or bearish engulfing), helping filter out weak signals.
Optional Volume Spike Filter
Allows additional confirmation based on a significant spike in volume, indicating potential institutional involvement.
Buy and Sell Trap Signals
🔴 Smart Money Short (SMT↓) – Triggered when price sweeps a high and reverses down.
🟢 Smart Money Long (SMT↑) – Triggered when price sweeps a low and reverses up.
Alerts & Labels
Real-time alert conditions and on-chart labels to help you catch setups without missing opportunities.
📈 How to Use:
Apply on Higher Timeframes (1H, 4H, Daily) for cleaner signals.
Look for SMT signals at key supply/demand zones or market structure points.
Combine with your existing trading strategy, such as order blocks or break of structure (BoS), for higher accuracy.
Use volume filter only if you're analyzing markets where volume data is reliable.
⚠️ Disclaimer:
This tool is meant to assist with trade identification, not trade execution. Always use proper risk management and validate setups with your trading plan.

Rapid Candle PATTERNS V2.0Indicator Title: Rapid Candle Patterns - High-Probability Signals
Description
Tired of noisy charts filled with weak and ambiguous candlestick patterns? The Rapid Candle Patterns indicator is engineered to solve this problem by moving beyond simple textbook definitions. It identifies only high-probability reversal and continuation signals by focusing on the underlying market dynamics: momentum, liquidity, and confirmation.
This is not just another pattern indicator; it's a professional-grade tool designed to help you spot truly significant price action events.
How The Logic Works & Why It's More Accurate
Each pattern in this script has been enhanced with stricter, more intelligent rules to filter out noise and reduce false signals. Here’s what makes our logic superior:
1. The Liquidity Grab Hammer & Inverted Hammer
Standard Logic: A simple hammer shows a long lower wick, suggesting buyers pushed the price back up.
Our Enhanced Logic: We don't just look for a hammer shape. Our signal is only valid if the hammer’s low takes out the low of the previous candle (a "liquidity grab" or "stop hunt").
Why It's More Accurate: This sequence is incredibly powerful. It shows that sellers attempted to push the market lower, triggered stop-loss orders below the prior low, and then were decisively overpowered by buyers who reversed the price. This isn't just a reversal; it's a failed breakdown, often trapping sellers and fueling a stronger move in the opposite direction.
2. The "True" Bullish & Bearish Harami
Standard Logic: A small candle forms within the high-low range of the previous candle. This can often be misleading if the prior candle has long wicks and a tiny body.
Our Enhanced Logic: We enforce a "dual containment" rule. For a Harami to be valid, its body must be contained within the body of the previous candle. We also ensure the Harami candle itself is not a Doji, meaning it must show some conviction.
Why It's More Accurate: This ensures you are seeing a genuine and significant contraction in momentum. It filters out scenarios where a large-bodied candle forms inside the wicks of a doji-like candle, which is not a true Harami. Our logic captures the "pregnant" pattern as it was intended—a moment of quiet consolidation before a potential new move.
3. The "Power" Bullish & Bearish Engulfing
Standard Logic: A candle's body engulfs the body of the previous candle. This is a common signal, but it often lacks follow-through.
Our Enhanced Logic: Our "Power Engulfing" requires two conditions: (1) The body must engulf the prior candle's body, AND (2) the candle must close beyond the entire high/low range of the prior candle.
Why It's More Accurate: This is the ultimate sign of confirmation. It doesn't just show that one side has won the battle for the session; it proves they had enough force to break the entire structure of the previous candle. This signifies immense momentum and dramatically increases the probability that the trend will continue in the direction of the engulfing candle.
4. The Quantified Doji
Our Logic: Instead of being a subjective pattern, a Doji is defined quantitatively. It's a candle whose body is less than or equal to a user-defined percentage (default 9%) of its total range.
Why It's More Accurate: It provides a consistent and objective measure of market indecision. Furthermore, any candle identified as a Doji is automatically disqualified from being a Hammer, ensuring clear and distinct signals.
User Customization
Toggle Patterns On/Off: Declutter your chart by only showing the patterns you want to see.
Fine-Tune Logic: Use the "Pattern Logic" settings to adjust the sensitivity of the Doji and Harami detectors to perfectly match your trading style, asset, and timeframe.
Disclaimer: This indicator is a powerful tool for identifying high-probability price action. However, no single indicator is a complete trading system. Always use these signals as part of a comprehensive strategy, combined with analysis of market structure, support/resistance levels, and other forms of confluence.
ICT Setup 04 [TradingFinder] SFP Sweep Liquidity Fake CHoCH/BOS🔵 Introduction
In smart money and ICT based trading, liquidity is never random. Some of the most meaningful market moves begin with a liquidity sweep where price intentionally hunts a previous swing high or swing low to trigger stop loss orders and absorb volume.
This manipulation is often followed by a sharp reversal from a reaction zone, creating ideal conditions for a high probability entry. This indicator is built to detect exactly that. It identifies a valid swing point and defines a reaction zone where price is likely to react.
For short setups, the zone lies between the swing high and the maximum of the candle’s open or close. For long setups, it’s drawn from the swing low to the minimum of the open or close.
When price returns to this zone and forms a qualified confirmation candle typically a doji or a small bodied candle that closes inside the zone while sweeping the liquidity this is a potential sign of reversal.
The candle must show both the sweep and the inability to hold above or below the key level, signaling a fake breakout or failed move. By combining elements of liquidity hunt, reaction zone rejection, and candle based entry confirmation, this tool highlights sniper entry points used by smart money to trap retail traders and reverse the trend. It helps filter out noise and enhances timing, making it ideal for trading in alignment with institutional order flow.

Short Position :
🔵 How to Use
This indicator is designed to highlight precise moments where price sweeps liquidity and reacts within a high probability reversal zone. By identifying clean swing highs and lows and defining a smart reaction zone around them, it filters out weak fakeouts and focuses only on setups with strong institutional footprints.
The tool works best when combined with market structure analysis and is suitable for both scalping and intraday trading. Below is a breakdown of how to interpret the signals for long and short positions based on the visual setups provided.
🟣 Long Setup
In a long setup, the indicator first detects a valid swing low where liquidity has likely accumulated below. A reaction zone is then drawn between the swing low and the minimum of the open or close of the swing candle.
When price returns to this zone, it must sweep the previous low and form a precise confirmation candle, such as a doji or a small bodied candle, that closes inside the zone. This candle must also reject the lower level, showing failure to continue downward.
As shown in the chart, once the liquidity grab is complete and the confirmation candle forms, a clean long signal is issued, indicating a potential bullish reversal backed by smart money behavior.
🟣 Short Setup
In a short setup, the indicator identifies a swing high where buy-side liquidity is resting. It then constructs a reaction zone between the high and the maximum of the open or close of the swing candle. Price must return to this zone, sweep the swing high, and form a bearish confirmation candle inside the zone.
A classic example is a doji or rejection candle that traps breakout buyers and fails to hold above the previous high. In the provided chart, the price aggressively hunts the liquidity above the swing high, but the close within the reaction zone signals exhaustion, prompting a short signal with high reversal probability.
These setups represent moments where price action, liquidity behavior, and candle structure align to offer strong entries. By focusing on clean sweeps and reactive confirmations, the indicator helps traders stay on the side of smart money and avoid common breakout traps.

🔵 Conclusion
This indicator is built for traders who rely on liquidity driven setups and smart money principles. By combining swing structure analysis with precision reaction zones and strict entry confirmation, it isolates the exact moments where price sweeps liquidity and fails to continue. These are high value points where institutional activity often reveals itself, and retail traps unfold.
Unlike generic breakout tools, this script focuses on quality over quantity by requiring both a sweep of a swing high or low and a confirmed rejection candle that closes inside a predefined zone. With customizable swing depth, proximity filters, visual highlights, and alert functions, it offers a complete framework for identifying and acting on fake breakouts with confidence. Whether you trade forex, crypto, or indices, this tool enhances your ability to align with true order flow and take entries where liquidity is most likely to shift.
Step Channel Momentum Trend [ChartPrime]OVERVIEW
Step Channel Momentum Trend is a momentum-based price filtering system that adapts to market structure using pivot levels and ATR volatility. It builds a dynamic channel around a stepwise midline derived from swing highs and lows. The system colors price candles based on whether price remains inside this channel (low momentum) or breaks out (strong directional flow). This allows traders to clearly distinguish ranging conditions from trending ones and take action accordingly.
⯁ STRUCTURAL MIDLNE (STEP CHANNEL CORE)
The midline acts as the backbone of the trend system and is based on structure rather than smoothing.
Calculated as the average of the most recent confirmed Pivot High and Pivot Low.
The result is a step-like horizontal line that only updates when new pivot points are confirmed.
This design avoids lag and makes the line "snap" to recent structural shifts.
It reflects the equilibrium level between recent bullish and bearish control.
This unique step logic creates clear regime shifts and prevents noise from distorting trend interpretation.
⯁ DYNAMIC VOLATILITY BANDS (ATR FILTERING)
To detect momentum strength, the script constructs upper and lower bands using the ATR (Average True Range):
The distance from the midline is determined by ATR × multiplier (default: 200-period ATR × 0.6).
These bands adjust dynamically to volatility, expanding in high-ATR environments and contracting in calm markets.
The area between upper and lower bands represents a neutral or ranging market state.
Breakouts outside the bands are treated as significant momentum shifts.
This filtering approach ensures that only meaningful breakouts are visually emphasized — not every candle fluctuation.
⯁ MOMENTUM-BASED CANDLE COLORING
The system visually transforms price candles into momentum indicators:
When price (hl2) is above the upper band, candles are green → bullish momentum.
When price is below the lower band, candles are red → bearish momentum.
When price is between the bands, candles are orange → low or no momentum (range).
The candle body, wick, and border are all colored uniformly for visual clarity.
This gives traders instant feedback on when momentum is expanding or fading — ideal for breakout, pullback, or trend-following strategies.
⯁ PIVOT-BASED SWING ANCHORS
Each confirmed pivot is plotted as a label ⬥ directly on the chart:
They also serve as potential manual entry zones, SL/TP anchors, or confirmation points.
⯁ MOMENTUM STATE LABEL
To reinforce the current market mode, a live label is displayed at the most recent candle:
Displays either:
“ Momentum Up ” when price breaks above the upper band.
“ Momentum Down ” when price breaks below the lower band.
“ Range ” when price remains between the bands.
Label color matches the candle color for quick identification.
Automatically updates on each bar close.
This helps discretionary traders filter trades based on market phase.
USAGE
Use the green/red zones to enter with momentum and ride trending moves.
Use the orange zone to stay out or fade ranges.
The step midline can act as a breakout base, pullback anchor, or bias reference.
Combine with other indicators (e.g., order blocks, divergences, or volume) to build high-confluence systems.
CONCLUSION
Step Channel Momentum Trend gives traders a clean, adaptive framework for identifying trend direction, volatility-based breakouts, and ranging environments — all from structural logic and ATR responsiveness. Its stepwise midline provides clarity, while its dynamic color-coded candles make momentum shifts impossible to miss. Whether you’re scalping intraday momentum or managing swing entries, this tool helps you trade with the market’s rhythm — not against it.
Breakout Confirmation🔍 Indicator Name: Breakout Confirmation (Body + Volume)
📌 Purpose:
This indicator is designed to detect high-probability breakout setups based on price structure and volume strength. It identifies moments when the market breaks through a key support or resistance level, confirmed by two consecutive strong candles with large real bodies and high volume.
⚙️ How It Works
1. Support and Resistance Detection
The indicator uses pivot points to identify potential horizontal support and resistance levels.
A pivot high or pivot low is considered valid if it stands out over a configurable number of candles (default: 50).
Only the most recent valid support and resistance levels are tracked and displayed as horizontal lines on the chart.
2. Breakout Setup
The breakout condition is defined as:
First Candle (Breakout Candle):
Large body (compared to the recent body average)
High volume (compared to the recent volume average)
Must close beyond a resistance or support level:
Close above resistance (bullish breakout)
Close below support (bearish breakout)
Second Candle (Confirmation Candle):
Also must have a large body and high volume
Must continue in the direction of the breakout (i.e., higher close in bullish breakouts, lower close in bearish ones)
3. Signal Plotting
If both candles meet the criteria, the indicator plots:
A green triangle below the candle for bullish breakouts
A red triangle above the candle for bearish breakouts
📈 How to Interpret the Signals
✅ Green triangle below a candle:
Indicates a confirmed bullish breakout.
The price has closed above a recent resistance level with strength.
The trend may continue higher — possible entry for long positions.
🔻 Red triangle above a candle:
Indicates a confirmed bearish breakout.
The price has closed below a recent support level with strength.
Potential signal to enter short or exit long positions.
⚠️ The plotted horizontal lines show the last key support and resistance levels. These are the zones being monitored for breakouts.
📊 How to Use It
Timeframe: Works best on higher timeframes (1H, 4H, Daily), but can be tested on any chart.
Entry: Consider entries after the second candle confirms the breakout.
Stop Loss:
For longs: Below the breakout candle or the broken resistance
For shorts: Above the breakout candle or broken support
Take Profit:
Based on previous structure, risk:reward ratios, or using trailing stops.
Filter with Trend or Other Indicators (optional):
You can combine this with moving averages, RSI, or market structure for confluence.

Super MTF Clouds (4x3 Pairs)Overview:
This script is based on Ripster's MTF clouds, which transcends the standard moving average cloud indicator by offering a powerful and deeply customizable Multi-Timeframe (MTF) analysis. Instead of being limited to the moving averages of your current charts from the current timeframe, this tool allows you to project and visualize the trend and key support/resistance zones from up to 4 different timeframes simultaneously. User can input up to 6 different EMA values which will form 3 pairs of EMA clouds, for each of the timeframes.
The primary purpose is to provide traders with immediate confluence. By observing how price interacts with moving average clouds from higher timeframes (e.g., Hourly, Daily, Weekly), you can make more informed decisions on your active trading timeframe (e.g., 10 Minute). It's designed as a complete MTF Cloud toolkit, allowing you to display all necessary MTFs in a single script to build a comprehensive view of the market structure without having to flick to different timeframe to look for cloud positions.
Key features:
Four Independent Multi-Timeframe Slots: Each slot can be assigned any timeframe available on TradingView (e.g., D, W, M, 4H).
Three MA Pairs Per Timeframe: For each timeframe, configure up to three separate MA clouds (e.g., a 9/12 EMA pair, a 20/50 EMA pair, and a 100/200 SMA pair).
Complete Customisation: For every single moving average (24 in total), you can independently control:
MA Type: Choose between EMA or SMA.
Length: Any period you require.
Line Color: Full colour selection.
Line Thickness: Adjust the visual weight of each line.
Cloud Control: For every pair (12 in total), you can set the fill colour and transparency.
How To Use This Script:
This tool is best used for confirmation and context. Here are some practical strategies that one can adopt:
Trend Confluence: Before taking a trade based on a signal on your current timeframe, glance at the higher timeframe clouds. If you see a buy signal on the 15-minute chart and the price is currently trading above a thick, bullish Daily cloud, the probability of that trade succeeding is significantly higher. Conversely, shorting into strong HTF support is a low-probability trade.
Dynamic Support & Resistance: The edges of the higher timeframe clouds often act as powerful, dynamic levels of support and resistance. A pullback to the 4-Hour 50 EMA on your 15-minute chart can be a prime area to look for entries in the direction of the larger trend.
Gauging Market Regimes: Use the toggles in the settings to quickly switch between different views. You can have a "risk-on" view with short-term clouds and a "macro" view with weekly and monthly clouds. This helps you adapt your trading style to the current market conditions.
Key Settings:
1. Global Setting
Source For All MAs: This determines the price data point used for every single moving average calculation.
Default: hl2 (an average of the High and Low of each bar). This gives a smooth midpoint price.
Options: You can change this to Close (the most common method), Open, High, Low, or ohlc4 (an average of the open, high, low, and close), among others.
Recommendation: For most standard trend analysis, the default hl2 is the common choice.
2. The Timeframe Group Structure
The rest of the settings are organized into four identical, collapsible groups: "Timeframe 1 Settings" through "Timeframe 4 Settings". Each group acts as a self-contained control panel for one multi-timeframe view.
Within each timeframe group, you have two master controls:
Enable Timeframe: This is the main power switch for the entire group. Uncheck this box to instantly hide all three clouds and lines associated with this timeframe. This is perfect for quickly decluttering your chart or focusing on a different set of analyses.
Timeframe: This dropdown menu is the heart of the MTF feature. Here, you select the higher timeframe you want to analyse (e.g., 1D for Daily, 1W for Weekly, 4H for 4-Hour). All calculations for the three pairs within this group will be based on the timeframe you select here.
3. Pair-Specific Controls
Inside each timeframe group, there are three sections for "Pair 1", "Pair 2", and "Pair 3". These control each individual moving average cloud.
Enable Pair: Just like the master switch for the timeframe, this checkbox turns a single cloud and its two MA lines on or off.
For each pair, the settings are further broken down:
Moving Average Lines (A and B): These two rows control the two moving averages that form the cloud. 'A' is typically used for the shorter-period MA and 'B' for the longer-period one.
Type (A/B): A dropdown menu to select either EMA (Exponential Moving Average) or SMA (Simple Moving Average). EMAs react more quickly to recent price changes, while SMAs are smoother and react more slowly.
Length (A/B): The lookback period for the moving average (e.g., 21, 50, 200).
Color (A/B): Sets the specific colour of the MA line itself on your chart.
Cloud Fill Settings
Fill Color: This controls the colour of the shaded area (the "cloud") between the two moving average lines. For a consistent look, you can set this to the same colour as your shorter MA line.
Transparency: Controls how see-through the cloud is, on a scale of 0 to 100. 0 is a solid, opaque colour, while 100 is completely invisible. The default of 85 provides a light, "cloud-like" appearance that doesn't obscure the price action.

SHA Multi Pivot Points -v1.0.0🔎Using Pivot Points in Trading
Traders use PPs to help determine predefined support and resistance levels to guide their trading strategies. In addition, traders identify potential price reversals, trend direction, and breakout opportunities:
Trend identification: PPs act as a reference level to gauge market sentiment. If the price opens above the PP and remains above it, traders interpret this as an uptrend. Conversely, if the price opens below the pivot point and stays below, it suggests a downtrend.
Support and resistance determination: Pivot levels are natural barriers where price reactions frequently occur. Traders may enter long positions near support levels, expecting a price bounce, or if the price approaches resistance levels, traders may consider shorting the asset.
Breakout trading: When the price breaks above resistance or support, it may indicate strong momentum for further movement.
Reversal identification: Traders also look for failed breakouts or price rejections at pivot levels to anticipate reversals.
Trading strategy combinations: Traders can improve accuracy by combining PPs with other technical analysis indicators.
1. Camarilla Pivot Points
📌 Overview:
Developed by Nick Scott in 1989, Camarilla Pivot Points are designed for short-term, intraday trading. Unlike traditional pivots, Camarilla levels are tighter and more responsive, making them useful in volatile markets.
📐 Key Levels:
It generates eight levels:
- Resistance: Initial Level (R1), Mid-range Level (R2), Sell Reversal Level (R3), Breakout Level (R4)
- Support: Initial Level (S1), Mid-range Level (S2), Buy Reversal Level (S3), Breakout Level (S4)
✅ How to Use:
- S1/R1 + RSI or volume divergence to confirm weak momentum and early reversals.
- S2/R2 with price action patterns to enter early on major moves before L3/H3 get tested.
- S3/R3: Mean-reversion zones → price often reverses.
- Break of S4/R4: Strong breakout → trend-following signal.
- Combine with volume or candlestick confirmation for entries.
🔹 2. Floor (Standard) Pivot Points
📌 Overview:
This is the most traditional pivot method, widely used by floor traders. It’s symmetrical and provides a clear central pivot point with equally spaced support and resistance levels.
📐 Key Levels:
- Povit Points : Average price (PPs)
- Resistance : First price ceiling (R1), Stronger ceiling (R2), Extreme resistance (R3)
- Support : First price floor (S1), Stronger floor (S2), Extreme support (S3)
✅ How to Use:
- Above PPs = bullish bias; Below PPs = bearish bias.
- S1/R1 are most used for intraday targets.
- S2–S3/R2–R3 indicate potential extreme moves.
- Often used in combination with momentum indicators.
🔹 3. Woodie Pivot Points
📌 Overview:
Woodie’s pivot formula gives double weight to the closing price, emphasizing the most recent session's sentiment.
📐 Key Levels:
- Povit Points : Weighted average (PPs)
- Resistance : First price ceiling (R1), Stronger resistance (R2)
- Support : First price floor (S1), Stronger support (S2)
✅ How to Use:
- Works best in fast-moving markets.
- PPs acts as a momentum-based balance level.
- Good for scalpers and momentum traders.
🔹 4. Fusion Pivot Points
📌 Overview:
This method differs significantly — it calculates only one support and one resistance level, adjusting based on the relationship between the open and close.
📐 Key Levels:
- Povit Points : Single directional (PPs)
- Resistance : Potential ceiling (R)
- Support : Potential floor (S)
✅ How to Use:
- Not symmetrical → more responsive to price behavior.
- Best for breakout or reversal strategies.
- Use when you're expecting directional momentum.
🔹 5. Classic Pivot Points (Traditional)
📌 Overview:
Also known as Standard or Traditional Pivot Points, this is the default method used by most charting platforms. It offers a balanced and simple framework.
📐 Key Levels:
- Povit Points : Central price level (PPs)
- Resistance : First ceiling (R1), Stronger resistance (R2), Extreme resistance (R3)
- Support : First floor (S1), Stronger floor (S2), Extreme support (S3)
✅ How to Use:
- PPs is the market’s equilibrium point.
- Helps define market structure, bias, and trade zones.
- Combine with order blocks, RSI, or MACD for confirmation.

Zigzag Simple [SCL]🟩 OVERVIEW
Draws zigzag lines from pivot Highs to pivot Lows. You can choose between three different ways of calculating pivots:
• True Highs and Lows
• Williams pivots
• Oscillator pivots
🟩 HOW TO USE
This indicator can be used to understand market structure, which is arguably the primary thing you need to be aware of when trading. The zigzag by itself does not display a market structure bias, nor any information about prices of pivots, HH and HL labels, or anything like that. Nevertheless, a simple zigzag is perhaps the easiest and most intuitive way to understand what price is doing.
Choose a pivot style that you like, customise the colours and line style, and enjoy!
🟩 PIVOT TYPES EXPLAINED
True Highs and Lows
This is not an invention of mine (all credit to my humble mentor), but I haven't seen anyone else code them up. A true High is a close below the low of the candle with the highest high. A true Low is a close above the high of a candle with the lowest low. These are solid, price action-based pivots that can sometimes confirm quickly.
Williams pivots
This is how most people calculate pivots. They're simply the highest high for x bars back and x bars forwards. They're the vanilla of pivots IMO: serviceable but not very interesting. They're very convenient to code because there are built-in Pine functions for them: ta.pivothigh and ta.pivotlow . They confirm a predictable number of bars after they happen, which is great for coding but also makes the trader wait for confirmation.
Oscillator pivots
This is a completely different concept, which uses momentum in order to define pivots. For example, when you get a rise in momentum and momentum then drops a configurable amount, it confirms a pivot high, and vice versa for a pivot low. I don't know if anyone else does it –- although some indicators do mark pivots in momentum itself, and plenty do divergences, I wasn't able to find one that specifically marked *pivots in price* because of pivots in momentum 🤷♂️
Anyway, while this approach needs a whole investigation on its own, here we simply plot some pivots in a smoothed RSI. This indicator doesn't plot the actual momentum values -- for a more visual understanding of how this works, refer to the examples in the OscillatorPivots library.
🟩 UNIQUE ADVANTAGES
In contrast to other zigzag indicators available, this one lets you choose between the standard and some more unique methods of generating the zigzags. Additionally, because it's based on libraries, it is relatively easy for programmers to use as a basis for experimentation.
🟩 GEEK STUFF
Although there is considerable practical use for pivot-based zigzags in trading, this script is primarily a demonstration in coding -- specifically the power of libraries!
Most of the script consists of setup, especially defining inputs. The final section sacrifices some readability for conciseness, simply to emphasise how little code you need when the heavy lifting is done by libraries .

Support and Resistance MTFSupport and Resistance MTF
Support and Resistance MTF is a powerful tool that automatically detects and visualizes key support and resistance levels based on pivot highs and lows, using a higher timeframe of your choice. It is designed for traders who focus on price action and market structure, and want an adaptive, clean, and customizable indicator that helps identify important market zones.
The script uses configurable pivot logic to identify levels, with user-defined parameters for pivot strength and timeframe. Once a support or resistance level is detected, it is displayed on the chart either as a horizontal line, a shaded box, or both, depending on your display settings. You can fully customize the visual appearance including color, transparency, and line thickness. Levels are automatically extended into the future, and optionally into the past, to give better context.
Each level is monitored for breakout behavior. If price breaks through a level, it can change its role — a former resistance may become support, and vice versa. After a certain number of breakouts (which you define), the level is considered invalid and is automatically removed from the chart. This helps to maintain a clean visual layout and ensures only relevant levels are shown.
The indicator supports multi-timeframe analysis, allowing you to overlay higher-timeframe structure directly on your lower-timeframe trading chart. It is also compatible with Heikin Ashi candles internally for reference, without affecting your main chart type.
Support and Resistance MTF is ideal for traders looking to align intraday setups with higher-timeframe zones, manage risk around structural levels, or simply highlight market turning points in a clear and automated way. Built with Pine Script v5 and optimized for performance, it is both powerful and lightweight.
⚙️ Input Parameters – Description
[Time-Frame
Defines the higher timeframe used for detecting support and resistance levels. For example, you can set this to 1h, 4h, or D to visualize significant levels from a broader market perspective on a lower-timeframe chart.
Left / Right (Pivot Left / Pivot Right)
These parameters control the sensitivity of the pivot detection. A pivot high/low is confirmed if it is higher/lower than the defined number of candles to its left and right. Higher values reduce noise but may miss smaller turning points.
Extend Left
When enabled, the drawn levels (lines and/or boxes) are extended to the left side of the chart, allowing you to see the historical alignment of these levels.
Max Breaks Before Delete
Defines how many times a level can be broken by price before it is removed from the chart. This helps to avoid clutter from outdated or invalidated levels and keeps your chart relevant to current price action.
Draw Lines Only
If enabled, the indicator will draw only horizontal lines for support and resistance zones, omitting the colored background boxes. Useful for a cleaner chart appearance.
Line Width Broken Level
Sets the thickness of the support/resistance lines. Thicker lines can emphasize key levels, especially after a breakout.
Transparency Boxes
Controls the transparency (0–100) of the background boxes representing the zones. A higher value makes the boxes more transparent, lower values make them more opaque.
Transparency Lines
Controls the transparency (0–100) of the horizontal support and resistance lines. This allows for visual fine-tuning based on chart background and personal preference.
Support (Color, Group: Display)
Lets you choose the color used for support zones and lines. By default, it's green, but you can change it to fit your theme or visual preference.
Resistance (Color, Group: Display)
Defines the color for resistance zones and lines. The default is red, but it can be customized freely.
Ergodic Market Divergence (EMD)Ergodic Market Divergence (EMD)
Bridging Statistical Physics and Market Dynamics Through Ensemble Analysis
The Revolutionary Concept: When Physics Meets Trading
After months of research into ergodic theory—a fundamental principle in statistical mechanics—I've developed a trading system that identifies when markets transition between predictable and unpredictable states. This indicator doesn't just follow price; it analyzes whether current market behavior will persist or revert, giving traders a scientific edge in timing entries and exits.
The Core Innovation: Ergodic Theory Applied to Markets
What Makes Markets Ergodic or Non-Ergodic?
In statistical physics, ergodicity determines whether a system's future resembles its past. Applied to trading:
Ergodic Markets (Mean-Reverting)
- Time averages equal ensemble averages
- Historical patterns repeat reliably
- Price oscillates around equilibrium
- Traditional indicators work well
Non-Ergodic Markets (Trending)
- Path dependency dominates
- History doesn't predict future
- Price creates new equilibrium levels
- Momentum strategies excel
The Mathematical Framework
The Ergodic Score combines three critical divergences:
Ergodic Score = (Price Divergence × Market Stress + Return Divergence × 1000 + Volatility Divergence × 50) / 3
Where:
Price Divergence: How far current price deviates from market consensus
Return Divergence: Momentum differential between instrument and market
Volatility Divergence: Volatility regime misalignment
Market Stress: Adaptive multiplier based on current conditions
The Ensemble Analysis Revolution
Beyond Single-Instrument Analysis
Traditional indicators analyze one chart in isolation. EMD monitors multiple correlated markets simultaneously (SPY, QQQ, IWM, DIA) to detect systemic regime changes. This ensemble approach:
Reveals Hidden Divergences: Individual stocks may diverge from market consensus before major moves
Filters False Signals: Requires broader market confirmation
Identifies Regime Shifts: Detects when entire market structure changes
Provides Context: Shows if moves are isolated or systemic
Dynamic Threshold Adaptation
Unlike fixed-threshold systems, EMD's boundaries evolve with market conditions:
Base Threshold = SMA(Ergodic Score, Lookback × 3)
Adaptive Component = StDev(Ergodic Score, Lookback × 2) × Sensitivity
Final Threshold = Smoothed(Base + Adaptive)
This creates context-aware signals that remain effective across different market environments.
The Confidence Engine: Know Your Signal Quality
Multi-Factor Confidence Scoring
Every signal receives a confidence score based on:
Signal Clarity (0-35%): How decisively the ergodic threshold is crossed
Momentum Strength (0-25%): Rate of ergodic change
Volatility Alignment (0-20%): Whether volatility supports the signal
Market Quality (0-20%): Price convergence and path dependency factors
Real-Time Confidence Updates
The Live Confidence metric continuously updates, showing:
- Current opportunity quality
- Market state clarity
- Historical performance influence
- Signal recency boost
- Visual Intelligence System

Institutional Volume Profile# Institutional Volume Profile (IVP) - Advanced Volume Analysis Indicator
## Overview
The Institutional Volume Profile (IVP) is a sophisticated technical analysis tool that combines traditional volume profile analysis with institutional volume detection algorithms. This indicator helps traders identify key price levels where significant institutional activity has occurred, providing insights into market structure and potential support/resistance zones.
## Key Features
### 🎯 Volume Profile Analysis
- **Point of Control (POC)**: Identifies the price level with the highest volume activity
- **Value Area**: Highlights the price range containing a specified percentage (default 70%) of total volume
- **Multi-Row Distribution**: Displays volume distribution across 10-50 price levels for detailed analysis
- **Customizable Period**: Analyze volume profiles over 10-500 bars
### 🏛️ Institutional Volume Detection
- **Pocket Pivot Volume (PPV)**: Detects bullish institutional buying when up-volume exceeds recent down-volume peaks
- **Pivot Negative Volume (PNV)**: Identifies bearish institutional selling when down-volume exceeds recent up-volume peaks
- **Accumulation Detection**: Spots potential accumulation phases with high volume and narrow price ranges
- **Distribution Analysis**: Identifies distribution patterns with high volume but minimal price movement
### 🎨 Visual Customization Options

## How It Works
### Volume Distribution Algorithm
The indicator analyzes each bar within the specified period and distributes its volume proportionally across the price levels it touches. This creates an accurate representation of where trading activity has been concentrated.
### Institutional Detection Logic
- **PPV Trigger**: Current up-bar volume > highest down-volume in lookback period + above volume MA
- **PNV Trigger**: Current down-bar volume > highest up-volume in lookback period + above volume MA
- **Accumulation**: High volume + narrow range + bullish close
- **Distribution**: Very high volume + minimal price movement
### Value Area Calculation
Starting from the POC, the algorithm expands both upward and downward, adding volume until reaching the specified percentage of total volume (default 70%).
## Configuration Parameters
### Profile Settings
- **Profile Period**: 10-500 bars (default: 50)
- **Number of Rows**: 10-50 levels (default: 24)
- **Profile Width**: 10-100% of screen (default: 30%)

## Interpretation Guide
### Volume Profile Elements
- **Thick Horizontal Bars**: High volume nodes (strong support/resistance)
- **Thin Horizontal Bars**: Low volume nodes (weak levels)
- **White Line (POC)**: Strongest support/resistance level
- **Blue Highlighted Area**: Value Area (fair value zone)
### Institutional Signals
- **Blue Triangles (PPV)**: Bullish institutional buying detected
- **Orange Triangles (PNV)**: Bearish institutional selling detected
- **Color-Coded Bars**: Different colors indicate institutional activity types
### Color Scheme Meanings
- **Heat Map**: Red (high volume) → Orange → Yellow → Gray (low volume)
- **Institutional**: Blue (PPV), Orange (PNV), Aqua (Accumulation), Yellow (Distribution)
- **Monochrome**: Grayscale intensity based on volume
- **Rainbow**: Color-coded by price level position
## Trading Applications
### Support and Resistance
- POC acts as dynamic support/resistance
- High volume nodes indicate strong price levels
- Low volume areas suggest potential breakout zones
### Institutional Activity
- PPV above Value Area: Strong bullish signal
- PNV below Value Area: Strong bearish signal

SuperTrend Confluence Signals [AlgoAlpha]OVERVIEW
This script enhances the classic SuperTrend indicator by integrating volume dynamics, retracement detection, and a multi-asset trend matrix—alongside an automatic mitigation-level drawing system. It's designed for traders who want to see not just trend direction, but the confluence of trend strength, volatility-adjusted retracements, and capital flow through volume pressure. It visually maps key transitions in market structure while offering a clean, color-coded overview of multiple symbols and timeframes in a single chart.
CONCEPTS
At the core is the traditional SuperTrend , which determines directional bias using Average True Range (ATR) with a volatility multiplier. This script overlays that with a dynamic volume histogram that scales relative to recent volume standard deviation, coloring volume bursts within the trend. Retracement signals are triggered when price pulls back toward the SuperTrend level but respects it—quantified through normalized distance sensitivity. On top of that, the indicator automatically draws and manages horizontal support/resistance zones that appear at key trend shifts. These levels persist and are cleared based on configurable rules such as wick/body sweeps or consecutive candle closes. A multi-asset, multi-timeframe table then gives an instant snapshot of trend status across five user-defined symbols and timeframes.
FEATURES
SuperTrend : Configurable ATR length and multiplier for flexible trend sensitivity.
Volumetric Histogram : Gradient-filled candles anchored to SuperTrend bands, scaled by relative volume to indicate activity intensity during trends.
Retracement Arrows : Signals printed when price nears the SuperTrend level without breaking it, allowing identification of high-probability continuation zones.
Volume TP Markers : Diamond markers flag high-volume events, contextualizing price moves with liquidity bursts.
Automatic Structure Levels : Draws clean horizontal lines at significant trend transitions, with optional volatility-based band fills. These levels self-update and clear based on price interaction logic.
Trend Table : Displays trend direction (▲/▼) across five assets and five timeframes. Each cell is colored according to trend bias, providing a compact overview for multi-market confluence.
USAGE
Start by loading the indicator on your main chart and adjusting the ATR Length and Multiplier to match your strategy timeframe. Use lower values for scalping and higher values for swing trading. The histogram bars will appear as colored candles above or below the SuperTrend level, indicating how strong volume is within that trend. Arrow signals suggest minor pullbacks within the trend, which can act as entry opportunities. The level system will automatically plot key price zones during trend flips; if "Body" is selected for mitigation, price must close through the level to invalidate it. If "Wick" is chosen, a single wick breach is enough. Adjust expiry and rejection settings to fine-tune how long levels stay on chart. Finally, enable the Multi-Asset Table to view live trend signals across popular symbols like AAPL or NVDA in different timeframes, helping spot macro-to-micro alignment for higher-confidence trades.
