Security issuesource of code of no repaint by Duyck
source of code fix by i Think Quansium ( please correct me if i am wrong) ,great reading I have to say
please read what he suggest . i try his way but sadly it did not work as i wish . that why i change to this soulution
docs.google.com
Here i just took the great work of this two folks (amazing geniuses)
and try to combine them so the non repaint, no security source of the close MTF will look exact as the repaint one.
so this soultion try to create realible source with no security that look exact as the repaint source with the security
all thanks to the above authors
I just put here so maybe someone in the TV comunity move forward the issue how to fix the security issue
and by that we can create great indicators if it fix
so the no repaint named no security (red color)
repaint is green color
as you see they aligh very nice with no different
sadly if I try to put barmerge on this solution does not work (need to find why??)
so maybe you have better solutions?
I hope thios would help coders to make better MTF until TV fix the issue with security

VolumeS as stochv1just to show a concept . I use volume S to make it as stoch and add to it MTF function
B=buy
S=sell
D=down
if you do not like the MTF fuction just remove it from code or put the time frame of graph to be exact as MTF one
I did not add alert as it just a concept idea , to make it more complex it easy if you add more indicators to it and then compare the signals
have fun
Volume Weighted Intra Bar LR KurtosisThis indicator analyzes market character by decomposing total
Excess Kurtosis ("Fat Tails") of a SINGLE BAR into four distinct,
interpretable components based on a Linear Regression model.
Key Features:
1. **Intra-Bar LR Kurtosis Decomposition:** For each bar on the chart,
the indicator analyzes the underlying price action on a smaller
timeframe ('Intra-Bar Timeframe'). It fits a Linear Regression
line through the intra-bar data to decompose the 4th Moment:
- **Trend Kurtosis (Gold):** Peakedness of the regression line
itself. High values indicate the price path within the bar
moves in sudden jumps, steps, or gaps (discontinuous path).
- **Residual Kurtosis (Red):** Excess Kurtosis of the noise
around the regression line. Captures "Hidden Tail Risk" or
extreme outliers within the bar relative to the trend.
- **Within-Bar Kurtosis (Blue):** Fat tails derived from the
microstructure of individual intra-bar candles.
- **Interaction Variance (Dark Grey):** The comovement of variance
and mean deviations (volatility clustering relative to trend).
- **Interaction Skewness (Darker Grey):** The comovement of skewness
and mean deviations (asymmetry relative to trend).
2. **Visual Decomposition Logic:** Total Excess Kurtosis is the
primary metric displayed. Since statistical moments are additive,
this indicator calculates the *exact* Total Kurtosis and partitions
the columns based on the Law of Total Moments.
3. **Dual Display Modes:** The indicator offers two modes to
visualize this decomposition:
- **Absolute Mode:** Plots the *total* kurtosis as a
stacked column chart. Stacking logic groups components to
ensure visual clarity of the magnitude.
- **Relative Mode:** Plots the direct *contribution ratio*
(proportion) of each component relative to the total sum,
ideal for identifying the dominant driver (Trend vs. Noise).
4. **Calculation Options:**
- **Normalization:** An optional 'Normalize' setting
transforms inputs into logarithmic space, analyzing the
kurtosis of *returns* rather than absolute prices.
- **Volume Weighting:** An option (`Volume weighted`) applies
volume weighting to all regression and moment calculations,
emphasizing high-participation moves.
5. **Kurtosis Cycle Analysis:**
- **Pivot Detection:** Includes a built-in pivot detector
that identifies significant turning points (peaks/valleys) in
the *total* kurtosis line. (Note: This is only visible
in 'Absolute Mode').
- **Flexible Pivot Algorithms:** Supports various underlying
mathematical models for pivot detection provided by the
core library.
6. **Note on Confirmation (Lag):** Pivot signals are confirmed
using a lookback method. A pivot is only plotted *after*
the `Pivot Right Bars` input has passed, which introduces
an inherent lag.
7. **Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Capability:**
- **MTF Analysis Lines:** The entire intra-bar analysis can be
run on a higher timeframe (using the `Timeframe` input),
with standard options to handle gaps (`Fill Gaps`) and
prevent repainting (`Wait for...`).
- **Limitation:** The Pivot detection (`Calculate Pivots`) is
**disabled** if a Higher Timeframe (HTF) is selected.
8. **Integrated Alerts:** Includes comprehensive alerts for:
- Kurtosis magnitude (High Positive / High Negative).
- Character changes (Trend Jumps vs. Noise Outliers).
- Total Kurtosis pivot (High/Low) detection.
**Caution: Real-Time Data Behavior (Intra-Bar Repainting)**
This indicator uses high-resolution intra-bar data. As a result, the
values on the **current, unclosed bar** (the real-time bar) will
update dynamically as new intra-bar data arrives. This behavior is
normal and necessary for this type of analysis. Signals should only
be considered final **after the main chart bar has closed.**

Volume Weighted Intra Bar KurtosisThis indicator analyzes market sentiment by providing a detailed
view of Excess Kurtosis ("Fat Tails"). It uses data from a lower,
intra-bar timeframe to separate the total kurtosis of a single bar
into distinct, interpretable components.
Key Features:
1. **Intra-Bar Kurtosis Decomposition:** For each bar on the chart,
the indicator analyzes the underlying price action on a smaller
timeframe ('Intra-Bar Timeframe'). Unlike Variance, the Fourth
Central Moment (Kurtosis) decomposes into three parts:
- **Between-Bar Kurtosis (Gold):** Peakedness of the price
path *between* the intra-bar candles. High values indicate
that the macro movement happened in jumps or gaps rather
than a smooth progression.
- **Within-Bar Kurtosis (Blue):** Fat tails derived from the
microstructure (extreme wicks) *inside* the intra-bar candles.
- **Interaction Variance (Dark Grey):** The comovement of variance
and mean deviations (volatility clustering relative to trend).
- **Interaction Skewness (Darker Grey):** The comovement of skewness
and mean deviations (asymmetry relative to trend).
2. **Visual Decomposition Logic:** Total Excess Kurtosis is the
primary metric displayed. Since Kurtosis coefficients are not
linearly additive, this indicator calculates the *exact* Total
Kurtosis and partitions the columns based on the additive
Fourth Moment Decomposition (`M4Tot = M4Btw + M4Wtn + M4Int`).
3. **Dual Display Modes:** The indicator offers two modes to
visualize this information:
- **Absolute Mode:** Plots the *total* kurtosis as a
stacked column chart, showing the *absolute magnitude* of
tail risk and the contribution of each component.
- **Relative Mode:** Plots the components as a 100% stacked
column chart (scaled from 0 to 1), focusing purely on the
*energy ratio* of the components.
4. **Calculation Options:**
- **Normalization:** An optional 'Normalize' setting
calculates an **Exponential Regression Curve** (log-space),
making the analysis suitable for comparing assets with
different scales (e.g., BTC vs EURUSD).
- **Volume Weighting:** An option (`Volume weighted`) applies
volume weighting to all mean and moment calculations.
5. **Kurtosis Cycle Analysis:**
- **Pivot Detection:** Includes a built-in pivot detector
that identifies significant turning points (peaks/valleys) in
the *total* kurtosis line. (Note: This is only visible
in 'Absolute Mode').
- **Flexible Pivot Algorithms:** Supports various underlying
mathematical models for pivot detection provided by the
core library.

with standard options to handle gaps (`Fill Gaps`) and
prevent repainting (`Wait for...`).
- **Limitation:** The Pivot detection (`Calculate Pivots`) is
**disabled** if a Higher Timeframe (HTF) is selected.
8. **Integrated Alerts:** Includes alerts for:
- Kurtosis magnitude (High Positive / High Negative).
- Kurtosis character changes/emerging/fading.
- Total Kurtosis pivot (High/Low) detection.
**Caution: Real-Time Data Behavior (Intra-Bar Repainting)**

Smart SafeZone Stops [MarkitTick]💡 This script represents a sophisticated evolution of volatility-based trailing stop methodologies. It is designed to assist traders in managing trend-following positions by dynamically adjusting stop-loss levels based on market noise, directional momentum, and volume flows. Unlike static trailing stops that move by a fixed percentage or simple ATR multiples, this tool calculates the "safe zone" by analyzing how far price has penetrated against the trend over a specific lookback period, offering a granular approach to risk management that adapts to changing market conditions.
✨ Originality and Utility
The primary utility of this indicator lies in its ability to filter out market noise while remaining tight enough to protect profits during strong trends. While the classic SafeZone concept (popularized by Dr. Alexander Elder) is effective, this script introduces several modern enhancements that increase its robustness:
● Dynamic ADX Integration Standard SafeZone stops use a fixed multiplier. This script integrates the Average Directional Index (ADX) to gauge trend strength. When the trend is strong, the stop tightens (Aggressive Multiplier) to lock in profits rapidly. When the trend is weak or choppy, the stop widens (Conservative Multiplier) to prevent premature shakeouts. ● Volume-Weighted Noise Price movement on low volume is often considered "noise," while high-volume movement signifies conviction. This script optionally weights the noise calculation by Relative Volume. A downward spike on low volume will affect the stop level less than a downward spike on high volume.
● 3-Day Smoothing Mechanism To prevent the stop line from becoming too jagged or reacting to single-bar anomalies, the script applies a 3-day smoothing algorithm. It utilizes the "worst-case" scenario of the last three calculated stop levels, ensuring the stop only moves when the trend structure genuinely shifts.
🔬 Methodology and Concepts
The underlying logic operates on a "Ratchet" mechanism, meaning the stop line can only move in the direction of the trade (up for longs, down for shorts) and never retraces until a trend reversal occurs.
● Directional Noise Calculation The script separates market noise into two components: Downside Penetration (for Longs): The distance the price dips below the previous bar's low. Upside Penetration (for Shorts): The distance the price spikes above the previous bar's high. The average of these penetrations is calculated over the Noise Lookback Period .
● The SafeZone Formula The raw stop level is derived as follows: Long Stop = Previous Low - (Average Downside Noise × Multiplier) Short Stop = Previous High + (Average Upside Noise × Multiplier)
● Adaptive Multiplier Logic If Dynamic ADX is enabled: If ADX > Strong Threshold: Use Aggressive Multiplier (e.g., 1.5x). If ADX < Weak Threshold: Use Conservative Multiplier (e.g., 3.5x). Otherwise: Use the Base Safety Coefficient.
● Exhaustion Detection The script calculates the distance between the current Close price and the Active Stop. If this distance exceeds a specific multiple of the ATR (Average True Range), it flags a "Mean Reversion" or "Exhaustion" warning, suggesting price has extended too far from equilibrium.
🎨 Visual Guide
The indicator plots distinct visual elements to guide decision-making without cluttering the chart excessively.
● Trailing Stop Lines Green Line (Solid): Represents the SafeZone Long Stop. This line appears below price during an uptrend. As long as price closes above this line, the bullish bias is intact. Red Line (Solid): Represents the SafeZone Short Stop. This line appears above price during a downtrend. A close above this line signals a potential short exit or reversal.
● Trend Signals Green Triangle (Below Bar): Marks the "Bull Start." This occurs when the price crosses above the Trend Filter EMA and the trend logic flips to bullish. Red Triangle (Above Bar): Marks the "Bear Start." Indicates the start of a downtrend sequence.
● Exhaustion Warnings Yellow Labels (⚠️): These appear when price has extended significantly away from the stop line (based on the ATR Exhaustion Multiplier). This is not an immediate sell signal but a warning that the trend may be overextended and a pullback is probable.
● MTF Consensus Cloud Background Color: If enabled, the chart background changes color to reflect the Higher Timeframe (HTF) trend. Green Background: Current trend matches HTF Uptrend. Red Background: Current trend matches HTF Downtrend. Gray Background: Trends are mismatched (Consolidation/Conflict).
● Quantitative Dashboard A table located in the top-right corner displays real-time statistics: Trend: Current state (BULLISH/BEARISH). Age: Number of bars since the trend began. Stop Price: Exact price level of the trailing stop. Risk %: The percentage distance from the current Close to the Stop. If this exceeds 3%, the text turns red to highlight elevated risk. Active Mult: The current multiplier being used (Dynamic or Fixed). ADX State: Shows if the trend is Strong, Weak, or Normal.
📖 How to Use
1. Entry Timing Wait for a Trend Switch signal (Triangle). For a long entry (Green Triangle), ensure the price is above the Trend Baseline (EMA). Ideally, look for confluence with the MTF Cloud (Green Background).
2. Position Management Once in a trade, use the Trailing Stop Line as your hard exit or invalidation point. Do not manually move the stop away from price; the script automatically "ratchets" the stop tighter as the trend progresses.
3. Taking Profits Use the "Exhaustion Warnings" (⚠️) as opportunities to scale out of positions. When price moves parabolically away from the stop line, the probability of a snap-back increases.
4. Managing Chop If the dashboard shows "ADX State: WEAK," expect the stop line to remain wider. This allows the asset "room to breathe" without stopping you out on random volatility.
⚙️ Inputs and Settings
The script is highly customizable to fit different asset classes (Crypto, Forex, Stocks).
● Trend Definitions Trend Filter (EMA Length): Determines the baseline trend bias (Default: 22). Price must be above this EMA to initiate a long calculation.
● Noise Calculation Noise Lookback Period: The number of bars used to calculate average penetration (Default: 10). Base Safety Coefficient: The standard multiplier applied to the noise average (Default: 2.5). Higher values = wider stops. Use Volume Weighting: Enables the volume-adjustment logic. Use 3-Day Smoothing: Recommended keeping this TRUE to avoid stop-hunts.
● Dynamic Multiplier (ADX) Enable Dynamic ADX: Toggles the adaptive multiplier. Strong/Weak Thresholds: The ADX levels that trigger aggressive or conservative multipliers.
● Multi-Timeframe Consensus Higher Timeframe: Select the TF for the cloud background (e.g., Daily or Weekly).
● Exhaustion Warning ATR Multiplier: Defines how far price must be from the stop to trigger a warning (Default: 3.0).
🔍 Deconstruction of the Underlying Scientific and Academic Framework
The "Smart SafeZone" indicator is grounded in the statistical analysis of market noise versus signal.
● Theory of Noise Penetration Conventional stops often use Standard Deviation (Bollinger Bands) or Average True Range (Keltner Channels/Chandelier Stops). While effective, these measures assume volatility is symmetrical. This script adopts the view that directional volatility matters more. In an uptrend, upside volatility is "good" signal, while downside volatility is "noise." By explicitly calculating the average downside penetration (Low - Low), the script isolates the specific counter-trend force acting on the asset. ● Volume-Weighted Price Analysis (VWPA) The inclusion of volume weighting draws upon Dow Theory principles, which state that volume must confirm the trend. Math: Penetration × (Volume / AverageVolume) This formula asserts that a price drop on low volume is statistically less significant than a drop on high volume. By dampening the impact of low-volume moves, the stop becomes more resistant to liquidity vacuums and algorithmic stop-hunts.
● Trend Efficiency (ADX) The integration of J. Welles Wilder’s ADX (Average Directional Index) adds a dimension of Trend Efficiency. High ADX values indicate a highly efficient trend with little retracement. Mathematically, this justifies a lower standard deviation (or noise multiplier) for the stop, as the probability of a deep retracement without a trend change is lower in high-momentum environments.

Volume Weighted LR KurtosisThis indicator analyzes market character by decomposing total
Excess Kurtosis ("Fat Tails") into four distinct, interpretable
components based on a Linear Regression model.
Key Features:
1. **Four-Component Kurtosis Decomposition:** The indicator
separates market tail risk based on the 'Estimate Bar Statistics' option.
It leverages the Law of Total Moments to provide an additive
breakdown of the 4th Statistical Moment:
- **Trend Kurtosis (Gold):** Peakedness of the regression line
itself. High values indicate the trend moves in sudden jumps,
steps, or gaps (discontinuous path).
- **Residual Kurtosis (Red):** Excess Kurtosis of the noise
around the regression line. This captures the "Hidden Tail Risk"
(extreme outliers relative to the trend).
- **Within-Bar Kurtosis (Blue):** Fat tails derived from the
microstructure of individual bars (requires 'Estimate Bar Statistics').
- **Interaction Variance (Dark Grey):** The comovement of variance
and mean deviations (volatility clustering relative to trend).
- **Interaction Skewness (Darker Grey):** The comovement of skewness
and mean deviations (asymmetry relative to trend).
2. **Visual Decomposition Logic:** Total Excess Kurtosis is the
primary metric displayed. Since statistical moments are additive,
this indicator calculates the *exact* Total Kurtosis and partitions
the area to visualize the contribution (weight) of each
structural source to the overall tail risk.
3. **Dual Display Modes:** The indicator offers two modes to
visualize this decomposition:
- **Absolute Mode:** Displays the *total* kurtosis as a
stacked area chart, allowing to see the magnitude of tail risk.
Stacking logic groups components to ensure visual clarity.
- **Relative Mode:** Displays the direct *contribution ratio*
(proportion) of each component relative to the total sum,
ideal for identifying the dominant driver of the risk.
4. **Calculation Options:**
- **Normalization:** An optional 'Normalize' setting
transforms inputs into logarithmic space, analyzing the
kurtosis of *returns* rather than absolute prices.
- **Volume Weighting:** An option (`Volume weighted`) applies
volume weighting to all regression and moment calculations,
emphasizing high-participation moves.
5. **Kurtosis Cycle Analysis:**
- **Pivot Detection:** Includes a built-in pivot detector
that identifies significant turning points (peaks/valleys) in
the *total* kurtosis line. This helps identify extremes in
market fragility or structural changes.
- **Flexible Pivot Algorithms:** Supports various underlying
mathematical models for pivot detection provided by the
core library.
6. **Note on Confirmation (Lag):** Pivot signals are confirmed
using a lookback method. A pivot is only plotted *after*
the `Pivot Right Bars` input has passed, which introduces
an inherent lag.
7. **Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Capability:**
- **MTF Kurtosis Lines:** The kurtosis lines can be
calculated on a higher timeframe, with standard options
to handle gaps (`Fill Gaps`) and prevent repainting
(`Wait for...`).
- **Limitation:** The Pivot detection (`Calculate Pivots`) is
**disabled** if a Higher Timeframe (HTF) is selected.
8. **Integrated Alerts:** Includes comprehensive alerts for:
- Kurtosis magnitude (High Positive / High Negative).
- Kurtosis character changes/emerging/fading.
- Total Kurtosis pivot (High/Low) detection.

Volume Weighted KurtosisThis indicator analyzes market sentiment by decomposing total
Excess Kurtosis ("Fat Tails") into distinct, interpretable components:
"Between-Bar" (Trend Path) and "Within-Bar" (Microstructure).
Key Features:
1. **Moment-Based Kurtosis Decomposition:** The indicator
separates kurtosis based on the 'Estimate Bar Statistics' option.
It leverages the additive property of the Fourth Central Moment
(Cumulants) to ensure mathematical rigor:
- **Standard Mode (`Estimate Bar Statistics` = OFF):** Calculates
simple kurtosis of the selected `Source`.
- **Decomposition Mode (`Estimate Bar Statistics` = ON):** The
indicator uses a statistical model ('Estimator') to
calculate *within-bar* kurtosis.
This separates the tail risk into:
- **Between-Bar Kurtosis (Gold):** Peakedness of the price
path itself. High values indicate the trend moves in jumps
or gaps rather than a smooth progression.
- **Within-Bar Kurtosis (Blue):** Fat tails within the
microstructure. High values imply significant outliers
inside the bars (e.g., extreme wicks).
- **Interaction Variance (Dark Grey):** The comovement of variance
and mean deviations (volatility clustering relative to trend).
- **Interaction Skewness (Darker Grey):** The comovement of skewness
and mean deviations (asymmetry relative to trend).
2. **Visual Decomposition Logic:** Total Excess Kurtosis is the
primary metric displayed. Since Kurtosis coefficients are not
linearly additive, this indicator calculates the *exact* Total
Kurtosis and partitions the area/ratios based on the additive
Fourth Moment Decomposition (`M4Tot = M4Btw + M4Wtn + M4Int`). This
ensures the displayed total kurtosis remains mathematically accurate.
3. **Dual Display Modes:** The indicator offers two modes to
visualize this decomposition:
- **Absolute Mode:** Displays the *Total Kurtosis* as the main
line, with the background filled by the stacked components.
Shows the *magnitude* of the tail risk.
- **Relative Mode:** Displays the **Contribution Ratios**
of each component (-1.0 to 1.0). This isolates the
*structure/quality* of the risk (e.g., "Is the risk
driven by the trend jumps or by the candle instability?").
4. **Calculation Options:**
- **Normalization:** An optional 'Normalize' setting
transforms inputs into logarithmic space, analyzing the
kurtosis of *returns* rather than absolute prices.
(Essential for correct statistical properties).
- **Volume Weighting:** An option (`Volume weighted`) applies
volume weighting to all moment calculations, emphasizing
high-participation moves.
5. **Kurtosis Cycle Analysis:**
- **Pivot Detection:** Includes a built-in pivot detector
that identifies significant turning points (peaks/valleys) in
the *Total Kurtosis* line. (Note: This is only visible
in 'Absolute Mode').
- **Flexible Pivot Algorithms:** Supports various underlying
mathematical models for pivot detection provided by the
core library.
6. **Note on Confirmation (Lag):** Pivot signals are confirmed
using a lookback method. A pivot is only plotted *after*
the `Pivot Right Bars` input has passed, which introduces
an inherent lag.
7. **Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Capability:**
- **MTF Kurtosis Lines:** The kurtosis lines can be
calculated on a higher timeframe, with standard options
to handle gaps (`Fill Gaps`) and prevent repainting
(`Wait for...`).
- **Limitation:** The Pivot detection (`Calculate Pivots`) is
**disabled** if a Higher Timeframe (HTF) is selected.
8. **Integrated Alerts:** Includes comprehensive alerts for:
- Kurtosis magnitude (High Positive / High Negative).
- Character changes (Inter-Bar vs. Intra-Bar dominance).
- Total Kurtosis pivot (High/Low) detection.

Volume Weighted Intra Bar LR SkewnessThis indicator analyzes market character by decomposing total
skewness (asymmetry) of a SINGLE BAR into four distinct,
interpretable components based on a Linear Regression model.
Key Features:
1. **Intra-Bar LR Skewness Decomposition:** For each bar on the chart,
the indicator analyzes the underlying price action on a smaller
timeframe ('Intra-Bar Timeframe'). It fits a Linear Regression
line through the intra-bar data to decompose the 3rd Moment:
- **Trend Skewness (Green/Red):** Asymmetry originating from
the slope of the intra-bar regression line. Indicates if the
price path within the bar is geometrically trend-driven.
- **Residual Skewness (Yellow):** Asymmetry of the noise
around the regression line. Captures "Tail Risk" or sudden
shocks within the bar that deviate from the main path.
- **Within-Bar Skewness (Blue):** Asymmetry derived from the
microstructure of individual intra-bar candles.
- **Interaction Skewness (Dark Grey):** Asymmetry caused by
the correlation between price levels and volatility within
the bar (e.g., volatility expanding as price drops).
2. **Visual Decomposition Logic:** Total Skewness is the
primary metric displayed. Since statistical moments are additive,
this indicator calculates the *exact* Total Skewness and partitions
the columns based on the Law of Total Moments.
3. **Dual Display Modes:** The indicator offers two modes to
visualize this decomposition:
- **Absolute Mode:** Plots the *total* skewness as a
stacked column chart. Stacking logic groups components with
the same sign to ensure visual clarity.
- **Relative Mode:** Plots the direct *contribution ratio*
(proportion) of each component relative to the total sum,
ideal for identifying the dominant driver (Trend vs. Noise).
4. **Calculation Options:**
- **Normalization:** An optional 'Normalize' setting
transforms inputs into logarithmic space, analyzing the
skewness of *returns* rather than absolute prices.
- **Volume Weighting:** An option (`Volume weighted`) applies
volume weighting to all regression and moment calculations,
emphasizing high-participation moves.
5. **Skewness Cycle Analysis:**
- **Pivot Detection:** Includes a built-in pivot detector
that identifies significant turning points (peaks/valleys) in
the *total* skewness line. (Note: This is only visible
in 'Absolute Mode').
- **Flexible Pivot Algorithms:** Supports various underlying

core library.
6. **Note on Confirmation (Lag):** Pivot signals are confirmed
using a lookback method. A pivot is only plotted *after*
the `Pivot Right Bars` input has passed, which introduces
an inherent lag.
7. **Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Capability:**
- **MTF Analysis Lines:** The entire intra-bar analysis can be
run on a higher timeframe (using the `Timeframe` input),
with standard options to handle gaps (`Fill Gaps`) and
prevent repainting (`Wait for...`).
- **Limitation:** The Pivot detection (`Calculate Pivots`) is
**disabled** if a Higher Timeframe (HTF) is selected.
8. **Integrated Alerts:** Includes comprehensive alerts for:
- Skewness magnitude (High Positive / High Negative).
- Character changes (Trend vs. Noise dominance).
- Total Skewness pivot (High/Low) detection.
**Caution: Real-Time Data Behavior (Intra-Bar Repainting)**
This indicator uses high-resolution intra-bar data. As a result, the
values on the **current, unclosed bar** (the real-time bar) will
update dynamically as new intra-bar data arrives. This behavior is
normal and necessary for this type of analysis. Signals should only
be considered final **after the main chart bar has closed.**

movements within the bar accelerated in one direction.
- **Within-Bar Skewness (Blue):** Asymmetry of the
microstructure (wicks vs. tails) *inside* the intra-bar candles.
- **Interaction Skewness (Grey):** The component arising from
the comovement of local means and local variances (e.g.,
does volatility increase when price drops?).
2. **Visual Decomposition Logic:** Total Skewness is the
primary metric displayed. Since Skewness coefficients are not
linearly additive, this indicator calculates the *exact* Total
Skewness and partitions the columns based on the additive
Third Moment Decomposition (`M3Tot = M3Btw + M3Wtn + M3Int`).
3. **Dual Display Modes:** The indicator offers two modes to
visualize this information:
- **Absolute Mode:** Plots the *total* skewness as a
stacked column chart, showing the *absolute magnitude* of
asymmetry and the contribution of each component.
- **Relative Mode:** Plots the components as a 100% stacked
column chart (scaled from 0 to 1), focusing purely on the
*energy ratio* of the components.
4. **Calculation Options:**
- **Normalization:** An optional 'Normalize' setting
calculates an **Exponential Regression Curve** (log-space),
making the analysis suitable for comparing assets with
different scales (e.g., BTC vs EURUSD).
- **Volume Weighting:** An option (`Volume weighted`) applies
volume weighting to all mean and moment calculations.
5. **Skewness Cycle Analysis:**
- **Pivot Detection:** Includes a built-in pivot detector
that identifies significant turning points (highs and lows) in
the *total* skewness line. (Note: This is only visible
in 'Absolute Mode').
- **Flexible Pivot Algorithms:** Supports various underlying
mathematical models for pivot detection provided by the
core library.
6. **Note on Confirmation (Lag):** Pivot signals are confirmed
using a lookback method. A pivot is only plotted *after*
the `Pivot Right Bars` input has passed, which introduces
an inherent lag.
7. **Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Capability:**
- **MTF Analysis Lines:** The entire intra-bar analysis can be
run on a higher timeframe (using the `Timeframe` input),
with standard options to handle gaps (`Fill Gaps`) and
prevent repainting (`Wait for...`).
- **Limitation:** The Pivot detection (`Calculate Pivots`) is
**disabled** if a Higher Timeframe (HTF) is selected.
8. **Integrated Alerts:** Includes alerts for:
- Skewness magnitude (High Positive / High Negative).
- Skewness character changes/emerging/fading.
- Total Skewness pivot (High/Low) detection.
**Caution: Real-Time Data Behavior (Intra-Bar Repainting)**
This indicator uses high-resolution intra-bar data. As a result, the
values on the **current, unclosed bar** (the real-time bar) will
update dynamically as new intra-bar data arrives. This behavior is
normal and necessary for this type of analysis. Signals should only
be considered final **after the main chart bar has closed.**

Volume Weighted LR SkewnessThis indicator analyzes market character by decomposing total
skewness (asymmetry) into four distinct, interpretable components
based on a Linear Regression model.
Key Features:
1. **Four-Component Skewness Decomposition:** The indicator
separates market asymmetry based on the 'Estimate Bar Statistics' option.
It leverages the Law of Total Moments to provide an additive
breakdown of the 3rd Statistical Moment:
- **Trend Skewness (Green/Red):** Asymmetry originating from
the slope of the regression line itself. Indicates if the
trend path is geometrically skewed.
- **Residual Skewness (Yellow):** Asymmetry of the noise
around the regression line. Captures "Tail Risk" (e.g.,
sudden spikes against the trend).
- **Within-Bar Skewness (Blue):** Asymmetry derived from the
microstructure of individual bars (requires 'Estimate Bar Statistics').
- **Interaction Skewness (Dark Grey):** Asymmetry caused by the
correlation between price levels and volatility (e.g.,
volatility expanding as price moves in one direction).
*Dominance of this component indicates an unstable, emotional market.*
2. **Visual Decomposition Logic:** Total Skewness is the
primary metric displayed. Since statistical moments are additive,
this indicator calculates the *exact* Total Skewness and partitions
the area to visualize the contribution (weight) of each
structural source to the overall market bias.
3. **Dual Display Modes:** The indicator offers two modes to
visualize this decomposition:
- **Absolute Mode:** Displays the *total* skewness as a
stacked area chart, allowing to see the magnitude of tail risk.
Stacking logic groups components with the same sign to ensure
visual clarity.
- **Relative Mode:** Displays the direct *contribution ratio*
(proportion) of each component relative to the total sum,
ideal for identifying the dominant driver of asymmetry.
4. **Calculation Options:**
- **Normalization:** An optional 'Normalize' setting
transforms inputs into logarithmic space, analyzing the
skewness of *returns* rather than absolute prices.
- **Volume Weighting:** An option (`Volume weighted`) applies
volume weighting to all regression and moment calculations,
emphasizing high-participation moves.
5. **Skewness Cycle Analysis:**
- **Pivot Detection:** Includes a built-in pivot detector
that identifies significant turning points (peaks/valleys) in
the *total* skewness line. This helps identify extremes in
market sentiment or structural bias.
- **Flexible Pivot Algorithms:** Supports various underlying
mathematical models for pivot detection provided by the
core library.
6. **Note on Confirmation (Lag):** Pivot signals are confirmed
using a lookback method. A pivot is only plotted *after*
the `Pivot Right Bars` input has passed, which introduces
an inherent lag.
7. **Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Capability:**
- **MTF Skewness Lines:** The skewness lines can be
calculated on a higher timeframe, with standard options
to handle gaps (`Fill Gaps`) and prevent repainting
(`Wait for...`).
- **Limitation:** The Pivot detection (`Calculate Pivots`) is
**disabled** if a Higher Timeframe (HTF) is selected.
8. **Integrated Alerts:** Includes comprehensive alerts for:
- Skewness magnitude (High Positive / High Negative).
- Skewness character changes/emerging/fading.
- Total Skewness pivot (High/Low) detection.

Volume Weighted SkewnessThis indicator analyzes market sentiment by decomposing total
skewness (asymmetry) into two distinct, interpretable components:
"Between-Bar" (Inter-Bar) and "Within-Bar" (Intra-Bar) skewness.
Key Features:
1. **Moment-Based Skewness decomposition:** The indicator
separates skewness based on the 'Estimate Bar Statistics' option.
It leverages the additive property of the Third Central Moment
to ensure mathematical rigor:
- **Standard Mode (`Estimate Bar Statistics` = OFF):** Calculates
simple skewness of the selected `Source`.
- **Decomposition Mode (`Estimate Bar Statistics` = ON):** The
indicator uses a statistical model ('Estimator') to
calculate *within-bar* skewness.
This separates the asymmetry into:
- **Between-Bar Skewness (Gold):** Asymmetry of the price
path itself. A positive value indicates that the trend
moves more aggressively upwards than downwards.
- **Within-Bar Skewness (Blue):** Asymmetry of the
microstructure (wicks vs. tails). A positive value implies
strong buying pressure within the bars (long tails).
2. **Visual Decomposition Logic:** Total Skewness is the
primary metric displayed. Since Skewness coefficients are not
linearly additive, this indicator calculates the *exact* Total
Skewness and partitions the area/ratios based on the additive
Third Moment Decomposition (`M3Tot = M3Btw + M3Wtn`). This
ensures the displayed total skewness remains mathematically accurate.
3. **Dual Display Modes:** The indicator offers two modes to
visualize this decomposition:
- **Absolute Mode:** Displays the *Total Skewness* as the main
line, with the background filled by the stacked components.
Shows the *magnitude* and direction of the tail risk.
- **Relative Mode:** Displays the **Contribution Ratios**
of each component (-1.0 to 1.0). This isolates the
*structure/quality* of the asymmetry (e.g., "Is the skewness
driven by the trend or by the candle shapes?").
4. **Calculation Options:**
- **Normalization:** An optional 'Normalize' setting
transforms inputs into logarithmic space, analyzing the
skewness of *returns* rather than absolute prices.
(Essential for correct statistical properties).
- **Volume Weighting:** An option (`Volume weighted`) applies
volume weighting to all moment calculations, emphasizing
high-participation moves.
5. **Skewness Cycle Analysis:**
- **Pivot Detection:** Includes a built-in pivot detector
that identifies significant turning points (peaks/valleys) in
the *Total Skewness* line. (Note: This is only visible
in 'Absolute Mode').
- **Flexible Pivot Algorithms:** Supports various underlying
mathematical models for pivot detection provided by the
core library.
6. **Note on Confirmation (Lag):** Pivot signals are confirmed
using a lookback method. A pivot is only plotted *after*
the `Pivot Right Bars` input has passed, which introduces
an inherent lag.
7. **Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Capability:**
- **MTF Skewness Lines:** The skewness lines can be
calculated on a higher timeframe, with standard options
to handle gaps (`Fill Gaps`) and prevent repainting
(`Wait for...`).
- **Limitation:** The Pivot detection (`Calculate Pivots`) is
**disabled** if a Higher Timeframe (HTF) is selected.
8. **Integrated Alerts:** Includes comprehensive alerts for:
- Skewness magnitude (High Positive / High Negative).
- Character changes (Inter-Bar vs. Intra-Bar dominance).
- Total Skewness pivot (High/Low) detection.

Volume Weighted Intra Bar LR CorrelationThis indicator analyzes market character by providing a detailed
view of correlation. It applies a Linear Regression model to
intra-bar price action, dissecting the total correlation of
each bar into three distinct components.
Key Features:
1. **Three-Component Correlation Decomposition:** The indicator
separates correlation based on the 'Estimate Bar Statistics' option.
- **Standard Mode (`Estimate Bar Statistics` = OFF):** Calculates
correlation based on the selected `Source` (this results
mainly in 'Trend' and 'Residual' correlation).
- **Decomposition Mode (`Estimate Bar Statistics` = ON):** The
indicator uses a statistical model ('Estimator') to
calculate *within-bar* correlation.
(Assumption: In this mode, the `Source` input is
**ignored**, and an estimated mean for each bar is used
instead).
This separates correlation into:
- **Trend Correlation (Green/Red):** Correlation explained by the
regression's slope (Directional Alignment).
- **Residual Correlation (Yellow):** Correlation from price
oscillating around the regression line (Mean-Reversion/Cointegration).
- **Within-Bar Correlation (Blue):** Correlation from the
high-low range of each bar (Microstructure/Noise).
2. **Visual Decomposition Logic:** Total Correlation is the
primary metric displayed. Since Correlation Coefficients are not
linearly additive, this indicator plots the *exact* Total
Correlation and partitions the area underneath based on the
Covariance Ratio. This ensures the displayed total correlation
remains mathematically accurate while showing relative composition.
3. **Dual Display Modes:** The indicator offers two modes to
visualize this decomposition:
- **Absolute Mode:** Displays the *total* correlation as a
stacked area chart, partitioned by the ratio of
the three components.
- **Relative Mode:** Displays the direct *energy ratio*
(proportion) of each component relative to the total (0-1),
ideal for identifying the dominant market character.
4. **Calculation Options:**
- **Normalization:** An optional 'Normalize' setting
calculates an **Exponential Regression Curve** (log-space),
making the analysis suitable for growth assets.
- **Volume Weighting:** An option (`Volume weighted`) applies
volume weighting to all regression and correlation calculations.
5. **Correlation Cycle Analysis:**
- **Pivot Detection:** Includes a built-in pivot detector
that identifies significant turning points (highs and lows) in
the *total* correlation line. (Note: This is only visible
in 'Absolute Mode').
- **Flexible Pivot Algorithms:** Supports various underlying
mathematical models for pivot detection provided by the
core library.
6. **Note on Confirmation (Lag):** Pivot signals are confirmed
using a lookback method. A pivot is only plotted *after*
the `Pivot Right Bars` input has passed, which introduces
an inherent lag.
7. **Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Capability:**
- **MTF Correlation Lines:** The correlation lines can be
calculated on a higher timeframe, with standard options
to handle gaps (`Fill Gaps`) and prevent repainting
(`Wait for...`).
- **Limitation:** The Pivot detection (`Calculate Pivots`) is
**disabled** if a Higher Timeframe (HTF) is selected.
8. **Integrated Alerts:** Includes comprehensive alerts for:
- Correlation magnitude (High Positive / High Inverse).
- Correlation character changes/emerging/fading.
- Total Correlation pivot (High/Low) detection.
**Caution! Real-Time Data Behavior (Intra-Bar Repainting)**
This indicator uses high-resolution intra-bar data. As a result, the
values on the **current, unclosed bar** (the real-time bar) will

Volume Weighted Intra Bar CorrelationThis indicator analyzes market character by providing a detailed
view of correlation. It uses data from a lower, intra-bar timeframe
to separate the total correlation of a single bar into two distinct
components.
Key Features:
1. **Intra-Bar Correlation Decomposition:** For each bar on the chart,
the indicator analyzes the underlying price action on a smaller
timeframe ('Intra-Bar Timeframe') and quantifies two types of correlation:
- **Between-Bar Correlation (Directional):** Calculated from price
movements *between* the intra-bar candles. This component
represents the **macro-movement** correlation within the main bar.
- **Within-Bar Correlation (Non-Directional):** Calculated from
price fluctuations *inside* each intra-bar candle. This
component represents the **microstructure/noise** correlation.
2. **Visual Decomposition Logic:** Total Correlation is the
primary metric displayed. Since Correlation Coefficients are not
linearly additive, this indicator plots the *exact* Total
Correlation and partitions the area underneath based on the
Covariance Ratio. This ensures the displayed total correlation
remains mathematically accurate while showing relative composition.
3. **Dual Display Modes:** The indicator offers two modes to
visualize this information:
- **Absolute Mode:** Plots the *total* correlation as a
stacked column chart, showing the *absolute magnitude* of
correlation and the contribution of each component.
- **Relative Mode:** Plots the components as a 100% stacked
column chart (scaled from 0 to 1), focusing purely on the
*energy ratio* of 'between-bar' (macro) and 'within-bar' (micro)
correlation.
4. **Calculation Options:**
- **Normalization:** An optional 'Normalize' setting
calculates an **Exponential Regression Curve** (log-space),
making the analysis suitable for comparing assets with
different scales (e.g., BTC vs EURUSD).
- **Volume Weighting:** An option (`Volume weighted`) applies
volume weighting to all mean and covariance calculations.
5. **Correlation Cycle Analysis:**
- **Pivot Detection:** Includes a built-in pivot detector
that identifies significant turning points (highs and lows) in
the *total* correlation line. (Note: This is only visible
in 'Absolute Mode').
- **Flexible Pivot Algorithms:** Supports various underlying
mathematical models for pivot detection provided by the
core library.
6. **Note on Confirmation (Lag):** Pivot signals are confirmed
using a lookback method. A pivot is only plotted *after*
the `Pivot Right Bars` input has passed, which introduces

Volume Weighted LR CorrelationThis indicator analyzes the structural relationship between two
assets by decomposing the Total Correlation into three distinct,
interpretable components using a Weighted Linear Regression model
and a Hybrid Copula Estimator.
Key Features:
1. **Hybrid Copula Estimator:** Unlike standard correlation, which
often fails on High/Low range data, this indicator fuses two
metrics to ensure mathematical rigor:
- **Magnitude:** Derived from Rogers-Satchell Volatility (robust to trend).
- **Direction:** Derived from Log-Returns.
This allows for precise correlation estimates even on intra-bar data.
2. **Three-Component Correlation Decomposition:** The indicator
separates correlation based on the 'Estimate Bar Statistics' option.
- **Standard Mode (`Estimate Bar Statistics` = OFF):** Calculates
correlation based on the selected `Source`.
- **Decomposition Mode (`Estimate Bar Statistics` = ON):** The
indicator uses a statistical model ('Estimator') to
calculate *within-bar* correlation.
This separates the relationship into:
- **Trend Correlation (Green/Red):** Correlation of the regression
slopes. Indicates if assets are trending in the same direction.
- **Residual Correlation (Yellow):** Correlation of the noise
around the trend (Cointegration). Indicates if assets
mean-revert together, even if trends differ.
- **Within-Bar Correlation (Blue):** Correlation of the
microstructure (intra-bar volatility).
3. **Visual Decomposition Logic:** Total Correlation is the
primary metric displayed. Since Correlation Coefficients are not
linearly additive, this indicator calculates the *exact* Total
Correlation and partitions the area/ratios based on the additive
Covariance Decomposition. This ensures the displayed total
correlation remains mathematically accurate.
4. **Dual Display Modes:** The indicator offers two modes to
visualize this decomposition:
- **Absolute Mode:** Displays the *Total Correlation* as the main
line, with the background filled by the stacked components
(Trend, Residual, Within). Shows the *magnitude* of the relationship.
- **Relative Mode:** Displays the **Energy Ratios** (-1.0 to 1.0)
of each component using L1-Normalization. This isolates the
*structure/quality* of the relationship (e.g., "Is the
correlation driven by Trend or just by Noise?").
5. **Calculation Options:**
- **Normalization:** An optional 'Normalize' setting
calculates an **Exponential Regression Curve** (log-space),
creating a constant percentage variance environment. Essential
for comparing assets with different scales (e.g., BTC vs EURUSD).
- **Volume Weighting:** An option (`Volume weighted`) applies
volume weighting to all regression and covariance calculations.
6. **Correlation Cycle Analysis:**
- **Pivot Detection:** Includes a built-in pivot detector
that identifies significant turning points (highs and lows) in
the *Total Correlation* line.
- **Flexible Pivot Algorithms:** Supports various underlying
mathematical models for pivot detection provided by the
core library.
7. **Note on Confirmation (Lag):** Pivot signals are confirmed
using a lookback method. A pivot is only plotted *after*
the `Pivot Right Bars` input has passed, which introduces
an inherent lag.
8. **Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Capability:**
- **MTF Correlation Lines:** The correlation lines can be
calculated on a higher timeframe, with standard options
to handle gaps (`Fill Gaps`) and prevent repainting
(`Wait for...`).
- **Limitation:** The Pivot detection (`Calculate Pivots`) is
**disabled** if a Higher Timeframe (HTF) is selected.
9. **Integrated Alerts:** Includes comprehensive alerts for:
- Correlation magnitude (High Positive / High Inverse).
- Correlation character changes/emerging/fading.
- Total Correlation pivot (High/Low) detection.

Volume Weighted CorrelationThis indicator analyzes the structural relationship between two
assets by decomposing the Total Correlation into two distinct,
interpretable components: "Between-Bar" (Inter-Bar) and
"Within-Bar" (Intra-Bar) correlation.
Key Features:
1. **Hybrid Copula Estimator:** Unlike standard correlation, which
often fails on High/Low range data, this indicator fuses two
metrics to ensure mathematical rigor:
- **Magnitude:** Derived from Rogers-Satchell Volatility.
- **Direction:** Derived from Log-Returns.
This allows for precise correlation estimates even on intra-bar data.
2. **Two-Component Correlation Decomposition:** The indicator
separates correlation based on the 'Estimate Bar Statistics' option.
- **Standard Mode (`Estimate Bar Statistics` = OFF):** Calculates
correlation based on the selected `Source` (Close-to-Close).
- **Decomposition Mode (`Estimate Bar Statistics` = ON):** The
indicator uses a statistical model ('Estimator') to
calculate *within-bar* correlation.
This separates the relationship into:
- **Between-Bar Correlation (Green/Red):** Correlation of the
price paths (means). Indicates if the macro movements of the
assets are aligned (Inter-Bar correlation).
- **Within-Bar Correlation (Blue):** Correlation of the
microstructure (Intra-Bar volatility/noise).
3. **Visual Decomposition Logic:** Total Correlation is the
primary metric displayed. Since Correlation Coefficients are not
linearly additive, this indicator calculates the *exact* Total
Correlation and partitions the area/ratios based on the additive
Covariance Decomposition (`CovTot = CovBtw + CovWtn`). This
ensures the displayed total correlation remains mathematically accurate.
4. **Dual Display Modes:** The indicator offers two modes to

of each component using L1-Normalization. This isolates the
*structure/quality* of the relationship (e.g., "Is the correlation
driven by price movement or just by volatility coupling?").
5. **Calculation Options:**
- **Normalization:** An optional 'Normalize' setting
calculates an **Exponential Regression Curve** (log-space),
creating a constant percentage variance environment. Essential
for comparing assets with different scales (e.g., BTC vs EURUSD).

that identifies significant turning points (highs and lows) in
the *Total Correlation* line. (Note: This is only visible
in 'Absolute Mode').
- **Flexible Pivot Algorithms:** Supports various underlying
mathematical models for pivot detection provided by the
core library.
7. **Note on Confirmation (Lag):** Pivot signals are confirmed
using a lookback method. A pivot is only plotted *after*
the `Pivot Right Bars` input has passed, which introduces
an inherent lag.
8. **Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Capability:**
- **MTF Correlation Lines:** The correlation lines can be
calculated on a higher timeframe, with standard options
to handle gaps (`Fill Gaps`) and prevent repainting
(`Wait for...`).
- **Limitation:** The Pivot detection (`Calculate Pivots`) is
**disabled** if a Higher Timeframe (HTF) is selected.
9. **Integrated Alerts:** Includes comprehensive alerts for:

Ease of MovementThis indicator provides an implementation of the Ease of Movement
(EOM) indicator, enhanced with a built-in divergence detection
engine.
The EOM highlights the relationship between volume and price change.
High positive values indicate that the price is increasing with
low resistance (ease), while low negative values indicate the
price is dropping with ease.
Key Features:
1. **Full Divergence Suite (Class A, B, C):** The primary feature
is the integrated divergence engine. It automatically
detects and plots all three major types of divergences:
- Regular (A): Signals potential trend reversals (e.g., price
rising but "ease" of movement is diminishing).
- Hidden (B): Signals potential trend continuations.
- Exaggerated (C): Signals weakness at double tops/bottoms.
2. **Divergence Filtering and Visualization:**
- **Price Tolerance Filter:** Divergence detection is enhanced
with a percentage-based price tolerance (`pivPrcTol`) to
filter out insignificant market noise, leading to more
robust signals.
- **Persistent Visualization:** Divergence markers are plotted
for the entire duration of the signal and are visually
anchored to the EOM level of the confirming pivot.
- **Flexible Pivot Algorithms:** Supports various underlying
mathematical models for pivot detection provided by the
core library
3. **Customizable Signal Line:** Includes an optional moving average
of the EOM, which serves as a signal line. The type of
MA (`Signal Smoothing`) and its length can be customized.
This signal line can also be optionally volume-weighted
(`Volume weighted`).
4. **Note on Confirmation (Lag):** Divergence signals rely on a
pivot confirmation method to ensure they do not repaint.
- The **Start** of a divergence is only detected *after* the
confirming pivot is fully formed (a delay based on
`Pivot Right Bars`).
- The **End** of a divergence is detected either instantly
(if the signal is invalidated by price action) or with
a delay (when a new, non-divergent pivot is confirmed).
5. **Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Capability:**
- **MTF EOM & Signal Lines:** The EOM and its signal line
can be calculated on a higher timeframe, with standard
options to handle gaps (`Fill Gaps`) and prevent
repainting (`Wait for...`).
- **Limitation:** The Divergence detection engine (`pivDiv`)

Volume Price TrendThis indicator provides an implementation of the Volume Price
Trend (VPT) momentum indicator, enhanced with a built-in
divergence detection engine.
Key Features:
1. **Full Divergence Suite (Class A, B, C):** The primary feature
is the integrated divergence engine. It automatically
detects and plots all three major types of divergences:
- Regular (A): Signals potential trend reversals.
- Hidden (B): Signals potential trend continuations.
- Exaggerated (C): Signals weakness at double tops/bottoms.
2. **Divergence Filtering and Visualization:**
- **Price Tolerance Filter:** Divergence detection is enhanced
with a percentage-based price tolerance (`pivPrcTol`) to
filter out insignificant market noise, leading to more
robust signals.
- **Persistent Visualization:** Divergence markers are plotted
for the entire duration of the signal and are visually
anchored to the VPT level of the confirming pivot.
- **Flexible Pivot Algorithms:** Supports various underlying
mathematical models for pivot detection provided by the
core library
3. **Note on Confirmation (Lag):** Divergence signals rely on a
pivot confirmation method to ensure they do not repaint.
- The **Start** of a divergence is only detected *after* the
confirming pivot is fully formed (a delay based on
`Pivot Right Bars`).
- The **End** of a divergence is detected either instantly
(if the signal is invalidated by price action) or with
a delay (when a new, non-divergent pivot is confirmed).
4. **Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Capability:**
- **MTF VPT Line:** The VPT line *itself* can be calculated on a
higher timeframe, with standard options to handle gaps
(`Fill Gaps`) and prevent repainting (`Wait for...`).
- **Limitation:** The Divergence detection engine (`pivDiv`)
is **disabled** if a timeframe other than the chart's
timeframe is selected. Divergences are only calculated
on the active chart timeframe.
5. **Integrated Alerts:** Includes comprehensive alerts that
trigger on the *start* and *end* of all divergence types
(e.g., "Regular Bullish Started", "Regular Bullish Ended").

Ichimoku Bounce on Tenkan-Sen by YellowKumaIchimoku Bounce (Long/Short) on Tenkan-Sen by YellowKuma
Pure bounce signals off the Tenkan-sen • No MTF • No noise
🌊 What It Does
This indicator spots high-probability reversal zones where price reacts off the Tenkan-sen (9-period conversion line) — the fastest Ichimoku component acting as dynamic support/resistance.
✅ Long signal → Price bounces up from Tenkan-sen while trading above the cloud
✅ Short signal → Price rejects down from Tenkan-sen while trading below the cloud
✅ Kijun-sen is used only as a trend filter (Tenkan > Kijun for longs / Tenkan < Kijun for shorts) — never as a bounce level
✅ Zero MTF complexity — runs purely on your chart's native timeframe, no repainting
Signals appear as:
🟢 "L" label below the bar → Bullish Tenkan bounce
🔴 "S" label above the bar → Bearish Tenkan bounce
⏱️ Timeframe Matters — A Lot
This strategy shines on higher timeframes and struggles on low ones. Why?
📈 H4 / Daily / Weekly
→ Tenkan-sen aligns with real institutional pivot zones
→ Cloud represents weeks of consensus value — strong trend filter
→ Bounces carry momentum → larger winners, fewer whipsaws
📉 M5 / M15 / M30
→ Tenkan-sen reacts to micro-noise, not structure
→ Cloud too thin — price slices through easily
→ False bounces dominate → shallow moves, poor R:R
💡 Rule of thumb:
• Use H4 for swing entries
• Use Daily for core trend trades
• Keep a Weekly chart open to confirm macro trend (only trade bounces with the Weekly cloud)
• Avoid M15/M30 entirely — signal quality degrades sharply
⚙️ Settings (Simple & Clean)
• Tenkan-sen Period → 9 (standard) — shorter = more sensitive, longer = smoother
• Kijun-sen Period → 26 (standard) — trend filter only
• Senkou Span B Period → 52 (standard) — defines cloud thickness
• Show Long Bounces → Toggle ON/OFF
• Show Short Bounces → Toggle ON/OFF
Cloud colors:
🟢 Green fill → Bullish cloud (Senkou Span A > B)
🔴 Red fill → Bearish cloud (Senkou Span A < B)
🎯 How to Trade the Signals
1️⃣ Wait for confirmation
→ Never enter mid-bar. Wait for candle close beyond the Tenkan-sen.
2️⃣ Check cloud alignment
→ Longs only when price > cloud top
→ Shorts only when price < cloud bottom
3️⃣ Add price action confirmation (optional but recommended)
→ Bullish engulfing / hammer at Tenkan → stronger long signal
→ Bearish engulfing / shooting star at Tenkan → stronger short signal
4️⃣ Risk management
→ Stop-loss: 1–2 pips beyond bounce bar extreme OR 2×ATR(14)
→ Take-profit: Target Kijun-sen (near-term) or opposite cloud boundary (swing)
→ Minimum reward:risk = 1:3
5️⃣ Avoid these situations
→ Choppy markets (Tenkan/Kijun flat, cloud thin)
→ Major news events (FOMC, NFP) — volatility distorts Tenkan touches
→ Bounces within 15 pips of strong horizontal resistance/support against your direction
🔔 Alerts
Built-in alert conditions:
• "Long Bounce" → triggers when green "L" appears
• "Short Bounce" → triggers when red "S" appears
→ Right-click indicator → Add Alert → choose condition
💡 Pro Tips for TradingView Users
✨ Session timing: Avoid first 60 mins of London/NY open — volatility creates false Tenkan touches
✨ Combine with Weekly trend: Disable short signals when price > Weekly cloud (and vice versa)
✨ Less is more: Expect 2–5 high-quality signals per week on H4 — that's normal. Quality > quantity.
⚠️ Important
This is a price-structure tool, not a magic bullet.
Always:
• Respect the trend (trade bounces with the cloud, not against it)
• Use proper position sizing (0.5–1% risk per trade)
• Keep a trading journal — track which bounces worked and why
✨ Bottom Line
Pure. Simple. Effective.
By focusing only on Tenkan-sen bounces — and enforcing strict cloud alignment — this indicator cuts through noise and delivers clean reversal zones where institutions actually place orders.
Works best on H4 and higher.
Add it. Switch to H4. Trade the bounce. 🚀 @YellowKumo
PSAR Laboratory [DAFE]PSAR Laboratory : The Ultimate Adaptive Trailing Stop & Reversal Engine
23 Advanced Algorithms. Adaptive Acceleration. Smart Flip Logic. Parabolic SAR Reimagined.
█ PHILOSOPHY: WELCOME TO THE LABORATORY
The standard Parabolic SAR, created by the legendary J. Welles Wilder Jr., is a tool of beautiful simplicity. But in today's complex, algorithm-driven markets, its simplicity is its fatal flaw. Its fixed acceleration and rigid flip logic cause it to fail precisely when you need it most: it whipsaws in choppy conditions and gives back too much profit in strong trends.
The PSAR Laboratory was not created to be just another PSAR. It was engineered to be the definitive evolution of Wilder's original concept. This is not an indicator; it is a powerful, interactive research environment. It is a sandbox where you, the trader, can move beyond the static "one-size-fits-all" approach and forge a PSAR that is perfectly adapted to your specific market, timeframe, and trading style.
We have deconstructed the very DNA of the Parabolic SAR and rebuilt it from the ground up, infusing it with modern quantitative techniques. The result is an institutional-grade suite of 23 distinct, mathematically diverse algorithms that dynamically control every aspect of the PSAR's behavior.
█ WHAT MAKES THIS A "LABORATORY"? THE CORE INNOVATIONS
This tool stands in a class of its own. It is a collection of what could be 23 separate indicators, all seamlessly integrated into one powerful engine.
The 23 Algorithm Engine: This is the heart of the Laboratory. Instead of one rigid formula, you have a library of 23 unique mathematical engines at your command. These algorithms are not simple tweaks; they are complete re-imaginings of how the PSAR should behave, based on concepts from information theory, digital signal processing, fractal geometry, and institutional analysis.
Truly Adaptive Acceleration (AF): The standard PSAR's "gas pedal" (the AF) is dumb; it accelerates at a fixed rate. Our algorithms make it intelligent. The AF can now speed up in clean, trending environments to lock in profits, and automatically slow down in choppy, chaotic conditions to avoid whipsaws.
Advanced Flip Confirmation Logic: Say goodbye to noise-driven flips. You are no longer at the mercy of a single wick touching the SAR. The Laboratory provides multiple layers of flip confirmation, including requiring a bar close beyond the SAR, a volume spike to validate the reversal, or even a multi-bar confirmation .
Comprehensive Noise Filtering Core: In a revolutionary step, you can apply one of over 30 advanced signal processing filters directly to the SAR output itself. From ultra-low-lag filters like the Hull MA and DAFE Spectral Laguerre to adaptive filters like KAMA and FRAMA , you can surgically remove noise while preserving the responsiveness of the core signal.
Integrated Performance Engine: How do you know which of the 23 algorithms is best for your market? You test it. The built-in Performance Dashboard is a comprehensive backtesting and analytics engine that tracks every trade, providing real-time data on Win Rate, Profit Factor, Max Drawdown, and more. It allows you to scientifically validate your chosen configuration.
█ A GUIDED TOUR OF THE ALGORITHMS: 23 PATHS TO AN EDGE
b]These 23 algorithms are not simple settings; they are distinct mathematical philosophies for how a Parabolic SAR should adapt to the market. They are grouped into three primary categories: those that adapt the Acceleration Factor (AF) , those that enhance the Extreme Point (EP) detection, and those that redefine the Flip Logic .
CATEGORY A: ACCELERATION FACTOR (AF) ADAPTATION
These algorithms dynamically change the "gas pedal" of the PSAR.
1. Volatility-Scaled AF
Core Concept: Treats volatility as market friction. The PSAR should be more forgiving in high-volatility environments.
How It Works: It calculates a Volatility Ratio by comparing the short-term ATR to the long-term ATR. If current volatility is high (ratio > 1), it reduces the AF Step. If volatility is low (ratio < 1), it increases the AF Step to trail tighter.
Ideal Use Case: The best all-rounder. Excellent for any market, especially those with clear shifts between high and low volatility regimes (like indices and crypto).
2. Efficiency Ratio (ER) AF
Core Concept: The PSAR should accelerate aggressively in clean, efficient trends and slow down dramatically in choppy, inefficient markets.
How It Works: It uses Kaufman's Efficiency Ratio (ER), which measures the net directional movement versus the total price movement. A high ER (near 1.0) signifies a pure trend, triggering a high AF multiplier. A low ER (near 0.0) signifies chop, triggering a low AF multiplier.
Ideal Use Case: Markets that alternate between strong trends and sideways chop. It is exceptionally good at surviving ranging periods.
3. Shannon Entropy AF
Core Concept: Uses Information Theory to measure market disorder. The PSAR should be conservative in chaos and aggressive in order.
How It Works: It calculates the Shannon Entropy of recent price changes. High entropy means the market is unpredictable ("chaotic"), causing the AF to slow down. Low entropy means the market is organized and trending, causing the AF to speed up.
Ideal Use Case: Advanced traders looking for a mathematically pure way to distinguish between a tradable trend and random noise.
4. Fractal Dimension (FD) AF
Core Concept: Measures the "jaggedness" or complexity of the price path. A smooth path is a trend; a jagged, space-filling path is chop.
How It Works: It calculates the Fractal Dimension of the price series. An FD near 1.0 is a smooth line (high AF). An FD near 1.5 is a random walk (low AF).
Ideal Use Case: Visually identifying the moment a smooth trend begins to break down into chaotic, unpredictable movement.
5. ADX-Gated AF
Core Concept: Uses the classic ADX indicator to confirm the presence of a trend before allowing the PSAR to accelerate.
How It Works: If the ADX value is above a "Strong" threshold (e.g., 25), the AF accelerates normally. If the ADX is below a "Weak" threshold (e.g., 15), the AF is "frozen" and will not increase, preventing the SAR from tightening up in a non-trending market.
Ideal Use Case: For classic trend-following purists who trust the ADX as their primary regime filter.
6. Kalman AF Estimator
Core Concept: A sophisticated signal processing algorithm that predicts the "true" optimal AF by filtering out price "noise."
How It Works: It treats the PSAR's AF as a state to be estimated. It makes a prediction, then corrects it based on how far the actual price deviates. It's like a GPS constantly refining its position. The "Process Noise" input controls how fast it thinks the AF can change, while "Measurement Noise" controls how much it trusts the price data.
Ideal Use Case: Smooth, high-inertia markets like commodities or major forex pairs. It creates an incredibly smooth and responsive AF.
7. Volume-Momentum AF
Core Concept: A trend's acceleration is only valid if confirmed by both volume and price momentum.
How It Works: The AF will only increase if a new Extreme Point is made on above-average volume AND the Rate of Change (ROC) of the price is aligned with the trend's direction.
Ideal Use Case: Any market with reliable volume data (stocks, futures, crypto). It's excellent for filtering out low-conviction moves.
8. Garman-Klass (GK) AF
Core Concept: Uses a more advanced, statistically efficient measure of volatility (Garman-Klass, which uses OHLC data) to adapt the AF.
How It Works: It modulates the AF based on whether the current GK volatility is higher or lower than its historical average. Unlike the standard Volatility-Scaled algo, it tends to slow down more in high volatility and speed up less in low volatility, making it more conservative.
Ideal Use Case: Traders who want a volatility-adaptive model that is more focused on risk reduction during volatile periods.
9. RSI-Modulated AF
Core Concept: The RSI can identify points of potential trend exhaustion or strong momentum.
How It Works: If a trend is bullish but the RSI enters the "Overbought" zone, the AF slows down, anticipating a pullback. Conversely, if the RSI is in the strong momentum mid-range (40-60), the AF is boosted to trail more aggressively.
Ideal Use Case: Mean-reversion traders or those who want to automatically loosen their trail stop near potential exhaustion points.
10. Bollinger Squeeze AF
Core Concept: A Bollinger Band Squeeze signals a period of volatility compression, often preceding an explosive breakout.
How It Works: When the algorithm detects that the Bollinger Band Width is in a "Squeeze" (below a certain historical percentile), it boosts the AF in anticipation of a fast move, allowing the PSAR to catch the breakout quickly.
Ideal Use Case: Breakout traders. This algorithm primes the PSAR to be maximally responsive right at the moment a breakout is most likely.
11. Keltner Adaptive AF
Core Concept: Keltner Channels provide a robust measure of a trend's "normal" volatility channel.
How It Works: When price is trading strongly outside the Keltner Channel, it's considered a powerful trend, and the AF is boosted. When price falls back inside the channel, it's considered a consolidation or pullback, and the AF is slowed down.
Ideal Use Case: Trend followers who use channel breakouts as their primary confirmation.
12. Choppiness-Gated AF
Core Concept: Uses the Choppiness Index to quantify whether the market is trending or consolidating.
How It Works: If the Choppiness Index is below the "Trend" threshold (e.g., 38.2), the AF is boosted. If it's above the "Range" threshold (e.g., 61.8), the AF is significantly reduced.
Ideal Use Case: A more responsive alternative to the ADX-Gated algorithm for distinguishing between trending and ranging markets.
13. VIDYA-Style AF
Core Concept: Uses a Chande Momentum Oscillator (CMO) to create a variable-speed acceleration factor.
How It Works: The absolute value of the CMO is used to create a dynamic smoothing constant. Strong momentum (high absolute CMO) results in a faster, more responsive AF. Weak momentum results in a slower, smoother AF.
Ideal Use Case: Momentum traders who want their trailing stop's speed directly tied to the momentum of the price itself.
14. Hilbert Cycle AF
Core Concept: Uses Ehlers' Hilbert Transform to extract the dominant cycle period of the market and synchronizes the PSAR with it.
How It Works: It dynamically adjusts the AF based on the detected cycle period (shorter cycles = faster AF) and can also modulate it based on the current phase within that cycle (e.g., accelerate faster near cycle tops/bottoms).
Ideal Use Case: Markets with clear cyclical behavior, like commodities and some forex pairs.
CATEGORY B: EXTREME POINT (EP) ENHANCEMENT
These algorithms make the detection of new highs/lows more intelligent.
15. Volume-Weighted EP
Core Concept: A new high or low is more significant if it occurs on high volume.
How It Works: It can be configured to only accept a new EP if the volume on that bar is above average. It can also "weight" the EP by volume, pushing it further out on high-volume bars.
Ideal Use Case: Filtering out weak, low-conviction price probes in markets with reliable volume.
16. Wavelet Filtered EP
Core Concept: Uses wavelet decomposition (a signal processing technique) to separate the underlying trend from high-frequency noise.
How It Works: It calculates a smoothed, wavelet-filtered version of the price. A new EP is only registered if the actual high/low significantly exceeds this smoothed baseline, effectively ignoring minor noise spikes.
Ideal Use Case: Noisy markets where small, insignificant wicks can cause the AF to accelerate prematurely.
17. ATR-Validated EP
Core Concept: A new EP should represent a meaningful move, not just a one-tick poke.
How It Works: It requires a new high/low to exceed the previous EP by a minimum amount, defined as a multiple of the current ATR. This ensures only volatility-significant advances are counted.
Ideal Use Case: A simple, robust way to filter out "noise" EPs and slow down the AF's acceleration in choppy conditions.
18. Statistical EP Filter
Core Concept: A new EP is only valid if the price change that created it is statistically significant.
How It Works: It calculates the Z-Score of the bar's price change relative to recent history. A new EP is only accepted if its Z-Score exceeds a certain threshold (e.g., 1.5 sigma), meaning it was an unusually strong move.
Ideal Use Case: For quantitative traders who want to ensure their trailing stop only tightens in response to statistically meaningful price action.
CATEGORY C: FLIP LOGIC & CONFIRMATION
These algorithms change the very rules of when and why the PSAR reverses.
19. Dual-PSAR Gate
Core Concept: Uses two PSARs—one fast and one slow—to confirm a reversal.
How It Works: A flip signal for the main PSAR is only considered valid if both the fast (sensitive) PSAR and the slow (structural) PSAR have flipped. This acts as a powerful trend filter.
Ideal Use Case: An excellent method for reducing whipsaws. It forces the PSAR to wait for both short-term and longer-term momentum to align before signaling a reversal.
20. MTF Coherence PSAR
Core Concept: Do not flip against the higher timeframe macro trend.
How It Works: It pulls PSAR data from two higher timeframes. A flip is only allowed if the new direction does not contradict the trend on at least one (or both) of those higher timeframes. It also boosts the AF when all timeframes are aligned.
Ideal Use Case: The ultimate tool for multi-timeframe traders who want to ensure their entries and exits are in sync with the bigger picture.
21. Momentum-Gated Flip
Core Concept: A reversal is only valid if it is supported by a significant surge of momentum.
How It Works: A price cross of the SAR is not enough. The script also requires the Rate of Change (ROC) to exceed a certain threshold for a set number of bars, confirming that there is real force behind the reversal.
Ideal Use Case: Filtering out weak, drifting reversals and only taking signals that are initiated with explosive power.
22. Close-Only PSAR
Core Concept: Wicks are noise; the bar's close is the final decision.
How It Works: This algorithm modifies the flip logic to ignore wicks. A flip only occurs if one or more bars close beyond the SAR line.
Ideal Use Case: One of the most effective and simple ways to reduce false signals from volatile wicks. A fantastic default choice for any trader.
23. Ultimate PSAR Consensus
Core Concept: The highest conviction signal comes from the agreement of multiple, diverse mathematical models.
How It Works: This is the capstone algorithm. It runs a "vote" between a selection of the top-performing algorithms (e.g., Volatility-Scaled, Efficiency Ratio, Dual-PSAR). A flip is only signaled if a majority consensus is reached. It can even weight the votes based on each algorithm's recent performance.
Ideal Use Case: For traders who want the absolute highest level of confirmation and are willing to accept fewer, but more robust, signals.
█ PART II: THE NOISE FILTERING CORE - The Shield
This is a revolutionary feature that allows you to apply a second layer of signal processing directly to the SAR line itself, surgically removing noise before the flip logic is even considered.
FILTER CATEGORIES
Basic Filters (SMA, EMA, WMA, RMA): The classic moving averages. They provide basic smoothing but introduce significant lag. Best used for educational purposes.
Low-Lag Filters (DEMA, TEMA, Hull MA, ZLEMA): A family of filters designed to reduce the lag inherent in basic moving averages. The Hull MA is a standout, offering a superb balance of smoothness and responsiveness.
Adaptive Filters (KAMA, VIDYA, FRAMA): These are "smart" filters. They automatically adjust their smoothing level based on market conditions. They will be very smooth in choppy markets and become highly responsive in trending markets.
Advanced DSP & DAFE Filters: This is the pinnacle of signal processing.
Ehlers Filters (SuperSmoother, 2-Pole, 3-Pole): Based on the work of John Ehlers, these use digital signal processing techniques to remove high-frequency noise with minimal lag.
Gaussian & ALMA: These use a bell-curve weighting, giving the most importance to recent data in a smooth, non-linear fashion.
DAFE Spectral Laguerre: A proprietary, non-linear filter that uses a feedback loop and adapts its "gamma" based on volatility, providing exceptional tracking in all market conditions.
How to Choose a Filter
Start with "None": First, find an algorithm you like with no filtering to understand its raw behavior.
Introduce Low Lag: If you are getting too many whipsaws from noise, apply a short-length Hull MA (e.g., 5-8). This is often the best solution.
Go Adaptive: If your market has very distinct trend/chop regimes, try an Adaptive KAMA .
Maximum Purity: For the smoothest possible output with excellent responsiveness, use the DAFE Spectral Laguerre or Ehlers SuperSmoother .
█ THE VISUAL EXPERIENCE: DATA AS ART
The PSAR Laboratory is not just functional; it is beautiful. The visualization engine is designed to provide you with an intuitive, at-a-glance understanding of the market's state.
Algorithm-Specific Theming: Each of the 23 algorithms comes with its own unique, professionally designed color palette. This not only provides visual variety but allows you to instantly recognize which engine is active.
Dynamic Glow Effects: For many algorithms, the PSAR dots will emit a soft "glow." The brightness and color of this glow are not random; they are tied to a key metric of the active algorithm (e.g., trend strength, volatility, consensus), providing a subtle, visual cue about the health of the trend.
Adaptive Volatility Bands: Certain algorithms will display dynamic bands around the PSAR. These are not standard deviation bands; their width is controlled by the specific logic of the active algorithm, showing you a visual representation of the market's expected range or energy level.
Secondary Reference Lines: For algorithms like the Dual-PSAR or MTF Coherence, a secondary line will be plotted on the chart, giving you a clear visual of the underlying data (e.g., the slow PSAR, the HTF trend) that is driving the decision-making process.
█ THE MASTER DASHBOARD: YOUR MISSION CONTROL
The comprehensive dashboard is your unified command center for analysis and performance tracking.
Engine Status: See the currently selected Algorithm, the active Noise Filter, the Trend direction, and a real-time progress bar of the current Acceleration Factor (AF).
Algorithm-Specific Metrics: This is the most powerful section. It displays the key real-time data from the currently active algorithm. If you're using "Shannon Entropy," you'll see the Entropy score. If you're using "ADX-Gated," you'll see the ADX value. This gives you a direct, quantitative look under the hood.
Performance Readout: When enabled, this section provides a full breakdown of your backtesting results, including Win Rate, Profit Factor, Net P&L, Max Drawdown, and your current trade status.
█ DEVELOPMENT PHILOSOPHY
The PSAR Laboratory was born from a deep respect for Wilder's original work and a relentless desire to push it into the 21st century. We believe that in modern markets, static tools are obsolete. The future of trading lies in adaptation. This indicator is for the serious trader, the tinkerer, the scientist—the individual who is not content with a black box, but who seeks to understand, test, and refine their edge with surgical precision. It is a tool for forging, not just following.
The PSAR Laboratory is designed to be the ultimate tool for that evolution, allowing you to discover and codify the rules that truly fit you.
█ DISCLAIMER AND BEST PRACTICES
THIS IS A TOOL, NOT A STRATEGY: This indicator provides a sophisticated trailing stop and reversal signal. It must be integrated into a complete trading plan that includes risk management, position sizing, and your own contextual analysis.
TEST, DON'T GUESS: The power of this tool is its adaptability. Use the Performance Dashboard to rigorously test different algorithms and settings on your chosen asset and timeframe. Find what works, and build your strategy around that data.
START SIMPLE: Begin with the "Volatility-Scaled AF" algorithm, as it is a powerful and intuitive all-rounder. Once you are comfortable, begin experimenting with other engines.
RISK MANAGEMENT IS PARAMOUNT: All trading involves substantial risk. The backtesting results are hypothetical and do not account for slippage or psychological factors. Never risk more capital than you are prepared to lose.
"I don't think traders can follow rules for very long unless they reflect their own trading style. Eventually, a breaking point is reached and the trader has to quit or change, or find a new set of rules he can follow. This seems to be part of the process of evolution and growth of a trader."

Auto Supply and Demand and ICT ExecutionsAuto Supply and Demand and ICT Executions is a professional-grade technical analysis suite designed to automate the visualization of institutional market structure and "Smart Money" execution signals. By combining automated Supply/Demand zoning with key ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts, this indicator provides a complete roadmap for identifying high-probability reversal and continuation setups on any timeframe.
Core Features:
Auto Supply & Demand Zones:
Automatically identifies and plots active Supply (Red) and Demand (Green) zones based on significant market structure pivots.
Persistent Logic: Zones remain active on the chart until price "mitigates" (closes beyond) them, ensuring you never miss a retest of a key level.
ATR Clutter Filter: Uses an Average True Range (ATR) algorithm to prevent zones from overlapping, keeping your chart clean and readable.
ICT Execution Signals (MSS):
Market Structure Shifts (MSS): Automatically detects valid shifts in market structure when price breaks a key structural high or low following a liquidity sweep.
Instant Signal Labels: clearly labels breakout points with "MSS ↑" (Bullish) or "MSS ↓" (Bearish) tags.
Auto Risk/Reward Projections:
Upon detecting an MSS signal, the indicator instantly projects a Risk/Reward (R:R) Box (default 1:2) anchored to the breakout candle.
This provides immediate, visual Take Profit (Green) and Stop Loss (Red) targets, allowing for instant trade assessment without manual measuring.
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Confluence:
Projects Higher Timeframe (HTF) Zones (default: 15-minute) directly onto your current chart.
This allows you to align your lower-timeframe entries (e.g., 1-minute) with the dominant institutional trend without switching screens.
Institutional Concepts:
Liquidity Sweeps: Highlights "Stop Hunt" pivots where price briefly breaches a recent swing high/low to trap traders before reversing.
Fair Value Gaps (FVG): Visualizes historical price imbalances (gaps) where aggressive institutional buying or selling occurred.
Silver Bullet Session: Automatically highlights the high-probability 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM NY trading window.
How to Trade with This Indicator:
Identify Structure: Wait for price to approach a Supply or Demand Zone (especially if it overlaps with an MTF Zone).
Confirm the Sweep: Look for the "Sweep" label, indicating liquidity has been grabbed.
Execute on Signal: Enter the trade when the "MSS" label appears, confirming the reversal.
Manage the Trade: Use the automated R:R Box to set your Stop Loss and Take Profit levels.
ATR Volatility RegimeATR Volatility Regime
A volatility classification indicator that uses ATR (Average True Range) percentile ranking to identify LOW , NORMAL , HIGH , or EXTREME volatility conditions.
Displayed as a separate pane oscillator (0–100 scale) with colored zones.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
💡 WHY THIS INDICATOR?
Most volatility indicators show raw ATR — a number without context. Is ATR = 50 high or low? Depends on the asset and recent history.
This indicator answers: "Is current volatility high or low for THIS asset, right now?"
What it adds over standard ATR:
Percentile context — Compares current ATR to its own history
Regime classification — Actionable labels instead of raw numbers
Visual zones — Instant read without interpretation
Optional MTF — Lock to a fixed timeframe while viewing another
Auto-adapts — Works on any asset without manual threshold tuning
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📐 CORE CONCEPTS
ATR (Average True Range)
Measures volatility in price units — how much an asset typically moves per bar. Directionless (magnitude only, not direction).
Calculation:
True Range = the greatest of:
High − Low (current bar's range)
|High − Previous Close| (gap up captured)
|Low − Previous Close| (gap down captured)
ATR = Moving average of True Range over N bars (default: 14)
Percentile Rank (Pctl)
Answers: "What percentage of historical values is the current value greater than?"
Pctl = 0% → Lowest ATR in lookback period (extreme compression)
Pctl = 50% → Median ATR (typical volatility)
Pctl = 100% → Highest ATR in lookback period (extreme expansion)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎯 WHAT IT DOES
Classifies current volatility into four regimes:
LOW (< 25th percentile) — Compression, breakout likely brewing
NORMAL (25th–50th percentile) — Typical market conditions
HIGH (50th–75th percentile) — Elevated volatility, use caution
EXTREME (> 75th percentile) — Rare expansion, tighten stops or stay flat
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📊 DISPLAY COMPONENTS
Oscillator Line (0–100)
ATR percentile rank over time. Color matches regime:
Blue = LOW
Gray = NORMAL
Orange = HIGH
Red = EXTREME
Zone Backgrounds
Colored bands at threshold levels for instant visual reference.
Status Label
VOL — Current regime
ATR — Raw ATR value (for stop sizing)
Pctl — Percentile rank (0–100%)
TF — Active timeframe (chart or fixed)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📈 HOW TO USE
LOW Volatility (Pctl < 25%):
Market compressed — "calm before the storm"
Watch for breakout setups
Pctl = 0% often precedes significant moves
NORMAL Volatility (Pctl 25–50%):
Typical conditions
Standard position sizing and stops
HIGH Volatility (Pctl 50–75%):
Elevated movement — reduce size
Widen stops to avoid noise
EXTREME Volatility (Pctl > 75%):
Rare, intense conditions
Avoid new entries or tighten risk

⚙️ SETTINGS
ATR Settings:
ATR Length (default: 14) — Period for ATR calculation
Percentile Lookback (default: 100) — Bars for percentile ranking
Timeframe:
Use Fixed Timeframe (default: off) — Lock calculation to specific TF
Fixed Timeframe (default: D) — TF to use when fixed mode enabled
Thresholds:
Low Threshold (default: 25)
High Threshold (default: 50)
Extreme Threshold (default: 75)

📋 SUGGESTED LOOKBACK BY ASSET
Crypto — 100 bars (fast regime shifts)
Stocks — 252 bars (one trading year)
Forex — 100–150 bars
Commodities — 150–200 bars (seasonal patterns)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🔔 ALERTS
Vol → EXTREME
Vol → HIGH
Vol → LOW
Vol exits HIGH
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
💡 PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS
Stop-Loss Sizing:
Use raw ATR for stops. Example: Stop = Entry − (1.5 × ATR)
Position Sizing:
Reduce size when percentile is HIGH or EXTREME.
Entry Filtering:
LOW regime = prepare for breakout
EXTREME regime = avoid new entries
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📝 NOTES
Works on any timeframe — adapts to chart or locks to fixed TF
ATR is non-directional — magnitude only
Percentile auto-adapts to each asset's volatility profile
Not a standalone signal — combine with trend/regime filters
