Reflexivity Resonance Factor (RRF) - Quantum Flow Reflexivity Resonance Factor (RRF) – Quantum Flow
See the Feedback Loops. Anticipate the Regime Shift.
What is the RRF – Quantum Flow?
The Reflexivity Resonance Factor (RRF) – Quantum Flow is a next-generation market regime detector and energy oscillator, inspired by George Soros’ theory of reflexivity and modern complexity science. It is designed for traders who want to visualize the hidden feedback loops between market perception and participation, and to anticipate explosive regime shifts before they unfold.
Unlike traditional oscillators, RRF does not just measure price momentum or volatility. Instead, it models the dynamic feedback between how the market perceives itself (perception) and how it acts on that perception (participation). When these feedback loops synchronize, they create “resonance” – a state of amplified reflexivity that often precedes major market moves.
Theoretical Foundation
Reflexivity: Markets are not just driven by external information, but by participants’ perceptions and their actions, which in turn influence future perceptions. This feedback loop can create self-reinforcing trends or sudden reversals.
Resonance: When perception and participation align and reinforce each other, the market enters a high-energy, reflexive state. These “resonance” events often mark the start of new trends or the climax of existing ones.
Energy Field: The indicator quantifies the “energy” of the market’s reflexivity, allowing you to see when the crowd is about to act in unison.
How RRF – Quantum Flow Works
Perception Proxy: Measures the rate of change in price (ROC) over a configurable period, then smooths it with an EMA. This models how quickly the market’s collective perception is shifting.
Participation Proxy: Uses a fast/slow ATR ratio to gauge the intensity of market participation (volatility expansion/contraction).
Reflexivity Core: Multiplies perception and participation to model the feedback loop.
Resonance Detection: Applies Z-score normalization to the absolute value of reflexivity, highlighting when current feedback is unusually strong compared to recent history.
Energy Calculation: Scales resonance to a 0–100 “energy” value, visualized as a dynamic background.
Regime Strength: Tracks the percentage of bars in a lookback window where resonance exceeded the threshold, quantifying the persistence of reflexive regimes.

Volume-Weighted Pivot BandsThe Volume-Weighted Pivot Bands are meant to be a dynamic, rolling pivot system designed to provide traders with responsive support and resistance levels that adapt to both price volatility and volume participation. Unlike traditional daily pivot levels, this tool recalculates levels bar-by-bar using a rolling window of volume-weighted averages, making it highly relevant for intraday traders, scalpers, swing traders, and algorithmic systems alike.
-- What This Indicator Does --
This tool calculates a rolling VWAP-based pivot level, and surrounds that central pivot with up to five upper bands (R1–R5) and five lower bands (S1–S5). These act as dynamic zones of potential resistance (R) and support (S), adapting in real time to price and volume changes.
Rather than relying on static session or daily data, this indicator provides continually evolving levels, offering more relevant levels during sideways action, trending periods, and breakout conditions.
-- How the Bands Are Calculated --
Pivot (VWAP Pivot):
The core of this system is a rolling Volume-Weighted Average Price, calculated over a user-defined window (default 20 bars). This ensures that each bar’s price impact is weighted by its volume, giving a more accurate view of fair value during the selected lookback.
Volume-Weighted Range (VW Range):
The highest high and lowest low over the same window are used to calculate the volatility range — this acts as a spread factor.
Support & Resistance Bands (S1–S5, R1–R5):
The bands are offset above and below the pivot using multiples of the VW Range:
R1 = Pivot + (VW Range × multiplier)
R2 = R1 + (VW Range × multiplier)
R3 = R2 + (VW Range x multiplier)
...
S1 = Pivot − (VW Range × multiplier)
S2 = S1 − (VW Range × multiplier)
S3 = S2 - (VW Range x multiplier)
...
You can control the multiplier manually (default is 0.25), to widen or tighten band spacing.
Smoothing (Optional):
To prevent erratic movements, you can optionally toggle on/off a simple moving average to the pivot line (default length = 20), providing a smoother trend base for the bands.
-- How to Use It --
This indicator can be used for:
Support and resistance identification:
Price often reacts to R1/S1, and the outer bands (R4/R5 or S4/S5) act as overshoot zones or strong reversal areas.
Trend context:
If price is respecting upper bands (R2–R3), the trend is likely bullish. If price is pressing into S3 or lower, it may indicate sustained selling pressure or a breakdown.
Volatility framing:
The distance between bands adjusts based on price range over the rolling window. In tighter markets, the bands compress — in volatile moves, they expand. This makes the indicator self-adaptive.
Mean reversion trades:
A move into R4/R5 or S4/S5 without continuation can be a sign of exhaustion — potential for reversal toward the pivot.
Alerting:
Built-in alerts are available for crosses of all major bands (R1–R5, S1–S5), enabling trade automation or scalp alerts with ease.
-- Visual Features --
Fuchsia Lines: Mark all Resistance (R1–R5) levels.
Lime Lines: Mark all Support (S1–S5) levels.
Gray Circle Line: Marks the rolling pivot (VWAP-based).
-- Customizable Settings --
Rolling Length: Number of bars used to calculate VWAP and VW Range.
Multiplier: Controls how wide the bands are spaced.
Smooth Pivot: Toggle on/off to smooth the central pivot.
Pivot Smoothing Length: Controls how many bars to average when smoothing is enabled.
Offset: Visually shift all bands forward/backward in time.
-- Why Use This Over Standard Pivots? --
Traditional pivots are based on previous session data and remain fixed. That’s useful for static setups, but may become irrelevant as price action evolves. In contrast:
This system updates every bar, adjusting to current price behavior.
It includes volume — a key feature missing from most static pivots.
It shows multiple bands, giving a full view of compression, breakout potential, or trend exhaustion.
-- Who Is This For? --
This tool is ideal for:
Day traders & scalpers who need relevant intraday levels.
Swing traders looking for evolving areas of confluence.
Algorithmic/systematic traders who rely on quantifiable, volume-aware support/resistance.
Traders on all assets: works on crypto, stocks, futures, forex — any chart that has volume.

Altcoin Reversal or Correction DetectionINDICATOR OVERVIEW: Altcoin Reversal or Correction Detection
Altcoin Reversal or Correction Detection is a powerful crypto-specific indicator designed exclusively for altcoins by analyzing their RSI values across multiple timeframes alongside Bitcoin’s RSI. Since BTC's price movements have a strong influence on altcoins, this tool helps traders better understand whether a reversal or correction signal is truly reliable or just noise. Even if an altcoin appears oversold or overbought, it may continue trending with BTC—so this indicator gives you the full picture.
The indicator is optimized for CRYPTO MARKETS only. Not suitable for BTC itself—this is a precision tool built only for ALTCOINS only.
This indicator is not only for signals but also serves as a tool for observing all the information from different timeframes of BTC and altcoins collectively.
How the Calculation Works: Algorithm Overview
The Altcoin Reversal or Correction Detection indicator relies on an algorithm that compares the RSI values of the altcoin across multiple timeframes with Bitcoin's RSI values. This allows the indicator to identify key market moments where a reversal or correction might occur.
BTC-Altcoin RSI Correlation: The algorithm looks for the correlation between Bitcoin's price movements and the altcoin's price actions, as BTC often influences the direction of altcoins. When both Bitcoin and the altcoin show either overbought or oversold conditions in a significant number of timeframes, the indicator signals the potential for a reversal or correction.
Multi-Timeframe Confirmation: Unlike traditional indicators that may focus on a single timeframe, this tool checks multiple timeframes for both BTC and the altcoin. When the same overbought/oversold conditions are met across multiple timeframes, it confirms the likelihood of a trend reversal or correction, providing a more reliable signal. The more timeframes that align with this pattern, the stronger the signal becomes.
Overbought/Oversold Conditions & Extreme RSI Values: The algorithm also takes into account the size of the RSI values, especially focusing on extreme overbought and oversold levels. The greater the RSI values are in these extreme regions, the stronger the potential reversal or correction signal. This means that not only do multiple timeframes need to confirm the condition, but the magnitude of the overbought or oversold RSI level plays a crucial role in determining the strength of the signal.
Signal Strength Levels: The signals are classified into three levels:
Early Signal
Strong Signal
Very Strong Signal
By taking into account the multi-timeframe analysis of both BTC and the altcoin RSI values, along with the magnitude of these RSI values, the indicator offers a highly reliable method for detecting potential reversals and corrections.
Who Is This Indicator Suitable For?
This indicator can also be used to detect reversal points, but it is especially effective for scalping. It highlights potential correction points, making it perfect for quick entries during smaller market pullbacks or short-term trend shifts, which is more suitable for scalpers looking to capitalize on short-term movements
Integration with other tools
Use this tool alongside key Support and Resistance zones to further enhance your trade by filtering for even better quality entries and focusing only on high-quality reversal or correction setups. It can be also used with other indicators and suitable with other personalised strategies.

Enhanced Pressure MTF ScreenerEnhanced Pressure Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Screener Indicator
Overview
The Enhanced Pressure MTF Screener is an add-on that extends the capabilities of the Enhanced Buy/Sell Pressure, Volume, and Trend Bar Analysis . It provides a clear and consolidated view of buy/sell pressure across multiple timeframes. This indicator allows traders to determine when different timeframes are synchronized in the same trend direction, which is particularly useful for making high-confidence trading decisions.
Image below: is the Enhanced Buy/Sell Pressure, Volume, and Trend Bar Analysis with the Enhanced Pressure MTF Screener indicator both active together.
Key Features
1.Multi-Timeframe Analysis
The indicator screens various predefined timeframes (from 1 week down to 10 minutes).
It offers a table view that shows buy or sell ratings for each timeframe, making it easy to see which timeframes are aligned.
Traders can choose which timeframes to include based on their trading strategies (e.g., higher timeframes for position trading, lower timeframes for scalping).
2.Pressure and Trend Calculation
Uses Buy and Sell Pressure calculations from the Enhanced Buy/Sell Pressure indicator to determine whether buying or selling is dominant in each timeframe.
By analyzing pressures on multiple timeframes, the indicator gives a comprehensive perspective of the current market sentiment.
The indicator calculates whether a move is strong based on user-defined thresholds, which are displayed in the form of additional signals.
3.Heikin Ashi Option
The Heikin Ashi candle type can be toggled on or off. Using Heikin Ashi helps smooth out market noise and provides a clearer indication of trend direction.
This is particularly helpful for traders who want to filter out market noise and focus on the primary trend.
4.Table Customization

Text and Alignment: The alignment and text size of the table can be customized for better visual clarity.
Color Settings: Users can choose specific colors to indicate buying and selling pressure across timeframes, making it easy to interpret.
5.Strong Movement Indicators
The screener provides an additional visual cue (🔥) for timeframes where the movement is deemed strong, based on a user-defined threshold.
This helps highlight timeframes where significant buying or selling pressure is present, which could signal potential trading opportunities.
How the Screener Works
1.Pressure Calculation
For each selected timeframe, the indicator retrieves the Open, High, Low, and Close (OHLC) values.
It calculates buy pressure (the range between high and low when the closing price is higher than the opening) and sell pressure (the range between high and low when the closing price is equal to or lower than the opening).
The screener computes the pressure ratio, which represents the difference between buying and selling pressure, to determine which side is dominant.
2.Trend Rating and Signal Generation
Based on the calculated pressure, the screener determines a trend rating for each timeframe: "Buy," "Sell," or "Neutral." (▲ ,▼ or •)
Additionally, it generates a signal (▲ or ▼) to indicate the current trend direction and whether the move is strong (based on the user-defined threshold).
If the movement is strong, a fire icon (🔥) is added to indicate that there is significant pressure on that timeframe, signaling a higher confidence in the trend.
3.Customizable Strong Move Thresholds
Strong Move Threshold: The screener uses this value to decide whether a trend is significantly strong. A higher value makes it more selective in determining strong moves.
Strong Movement Threshold: Helps determine when an additional strong signal should be displayed, offering further insight into the strength of market movement.
Inputs and Customization
The Enhanced Pressure MTF Screener is highly customizable to fit the needs of individual traders:
General Settings:
Use Heikin Ashi: Toggle this setting to use Heikin Ashi for a smoother trend representation.
Strong Move Threshold: Defines how strong a move should be to be considered significant.
Strong Movement Threshold: Specifies the level of pressure required to highlight a move with the fire icon.
Table Settings:
Position: Choose the vertical position of the screener table (top, middle, or bottom of the chart).
Alignment: Align the table (left, center, or right) to best suit your chart layout.
Text Size: Adjust the text size in the table for better readability.
Table Color Settings:
Users can set different colors to represent buying and selling signals for better visual clarity, particularly when scanning multiple timeframes.
Timeframe Settings:
The screener provides options to include up to ten different timeframes. Traders can select and customize each timeframe to match their strategy.
Examples of available timeframes include 1 Week, 1 Day, 12 Hours, down to 10 Minutes, allowing for both broad and detailed analysis.
Practical Use Case
Identifying Trend Alignment Across Timeframes:
Imagine you are about to take a long trade but want to make sure that the trend direction is aligned across multiple timeframes.
The screener displays "Buy" ratings across the 4H, 1H, 30M, and 10M timeframes, while higher timeframes (like 1W and 1D) also show "Buy" with strong signals (🔥). This indicates that buying pressure is strong across the board, adding confidence to your trade.
Spotting Reversal Opportunities:
If a downtrend is evident across most timeframes but suddenly a higher timeframe, such as 12H, changes to "Buy" while showing a strong move (🔥), this could indicate a potential reversal.
The screener allows you to spot these discrepancies and consider taking early action.
Benefits for Traders
1.Synchronization Across Timeframes:
One of the main strengths of this screener is its ability to show synchronized buy/sell signals across different timeframes. This makes it easy to confirm the strength and consistency of a trend.
For example, if you see that all the selected timeframes display "Buy," this implies that both short-term and long-term traders are favoring the upside, giving additional confidence to go long.
2.Quick and Visual Trend Overview:
The table offers an at-a-glance summary, reducing the time required to manually inspect each timeframe.
This makes it particularly useful for traders who want to make quick decisions, such as day traders or scalpers.
3.Strong Move Indicator:
The use of fire icons (🔥) provides an easy way to identify significant movements. This is particularly helpful for traders looking for breakouts or strong market conditions that could lead to high probability trades.
To put it short or to summarize
The Enhanced Pressure MTF Screener is a powerful add-on for traders looking to understand how buy and sell pressure aligns across multiple timeframes. It offers:
A clear summary of buying or selling pressure across different timeframes.
Heikin Ashi smoothing, providing an option to reduce market noise.
Strong movement signals to highlight significant trading opportunities.
Customizable settings to fit any trading strategy or style.
The screener and the main indicator are best used together, as the screener provides the multi-timeframe overview, while the main indicator provides an in-depth look at each individual bar and trend.

Important Note
As with any trading tool, it is crucial to conduct thorough analysis and risk management when using this indicator. Past performance does not guarantee future results, and traders should always be prepared for potential market fluctuations.
Dynamic Resistance and Support LinesThis script is designed to dynamically plot support and resistance lines based on full-dollar and half-dollar price levels relative to the close price on a chart. The script is particularly useful for day traders and scalpers, as it helps visualize key psychological price levels that often act as support and resistance zones in volatile and fast-moving markets in real time.
Key Features:
Dynamic Resistance and Support Levels:
Full-dollar levels: These are calculated by rounding the close price to the nearest full dollar and then extending the levels by adding and subtracting increments of 1 (e.g., $1, $2, $3).
Half-dollar levels: These are calculated by adding and subtracting 0.5 increments to the nearest full-dollar price, providing additional reference points. The historical full-dollar levels remain where support and resistance may have occurred in the past.
Extend Lines:
You can toggle whether the support and resistance lines are extended to the right, left, or both directions. This allows flexibility in projecting potential future areas of support or resistance.
Custom Line Extension:
The user can set the number of bars (or time periods) that the support and resistance lines will extend, giving control over how long the levels remain on the chart.
Color-Coded Lines:
Red lines represent full-dollar resistance and support levels.
Blue lines represent half-dollar levels, making it easy to differentiate between key psychological price zones.
Line Flexibility:
The script allows the lines to extend both left and right on the chart, making it useful for analyzing historical price action or projecting future price movements. The number of bars for extension is customizable, allowing for tailored setups.
Nearest Full Dollar Plot:
The nearest full-dollar price level is plotted as a yellow circle on the chart. This serves as a quick visual cue for traders to monitor price proximity to critical levels.
Benefits in Day Trading, Scalping, and Volatile Markets:
Visualizing Key Psychological Levels:
Full-dollar and half-dollar price levels often act as psychological barriers for traders. This script helps traders easily identify these levels, which are important in both fast-moving markets and during sideways consolidation.
Improved Decision-Making:
By automatically drawing these support and resistance levels, the script helps day traders and scalpers make quicker and more informed decisions, especially in volatile markets where every second counts.
Adaptability to Market Conditions:
The flexibility of extending lines based on trader preferences allows the user to adapt the script to various market conditions, such as high volatility or trend-based trading, providing a clear view of potential breakout or reversal areas.
Better Risk Management:
Having predefined support and resistance levels helps traders better manage risk, as these levels can act as logical areas for setting stop losses or taking profits.
This script is especially valuable for traders looking to capitalize on quick market movements or identify key entry and exit points during market volatility.
Negroni Opening Range StrategyStrategy Summary:
This tool can be used to help identify breakouts from a range during a time-zone of your choosing. It plots a pre-market range, an opening range, it also includes moving average levels that can be used as confluence, as well as plotting previous day SESSION highs and lows.
There are several options on how you wish to close out the trades, all described in more detail below.
Back-testing Inputs:
You define your timezone.
You define how many trades to open on any given day.
You decide to go: long only, short only, or long & short (CAREFUL: "Long & Short" can open trades that effectively closes-out existing ones, for better AND worse!)
You define between which times the strategy will open trades.
You define when it closes any open trades (preventing overnight trades, or leaving trades open into US data times!!).
This hopefully helps make back-testing reflect YOUR trading hours.
NOTE: Renko or Heikin-Ashi charts
For ALL strategies, don’t use Renko or Heikin-Ashi charts unless you know EXACTLY the implications.
Specific to my strategy, using a renko chart can make this 85-90% profitable (I wish it was!!) Although they can be useful, renko charts don’t always capture real wicks, so the renko chart may show your trade up-only but your broker (who is not using renko!!) will have likely stopped you out on a wick somewhere along the line.
NOTE: TradingView ‘Deep backtesting’
For ALL strategies, be cynical of all backtesting (e.g. repainting issues etc) as well as ‘Deep backtesting’ results.
Specific to this strategy, the default settings here SHOULD BE OK, but unfortunately at the time of writing, we can’t see on the chart what exactly ‘deep backtesting’ is calculating. In the past I have noted a number of trades that were not closed at the end of the day, despite my ‘end of day’ trade closing being enabled, so there were big winners and losers that would not have materialized otherwise. As I say, this seems ok at these settings but just always be cynical!!
Opening Range Inputs
You define a pre-market range (example: 08:00 - 09:00).
You define an opening range (example: 09:00 - 09:30).
The strategy will give an update at the close of the opening range to let you know if the opening range has broken out the pre-market range (OR Breakout), or if it has remained inside (OR Inside). The label appears at the end of the opening range NOT at the bar that ‘broke-out’.
This is just a visual cue for you, it has no bearing on what the strategy will do.
The strategy default will trade off the pre-market range, but you can untick this if you prefer to trade off the opening range.
Opening Trades:
Strategy goes long when the bar (CLOSE) crosses-over the ‘pre-market’ high (not the ‘opening range’ high); and the time is within your trading session, and you have not maxed out your number of trades for the day!
Strategy goes short when the bar (CLOSE) crosses-under the ‘pre-market’ low (not the ‘opening range low); and the time is within your trading session, and you have not maxed out your number of trades for the day!
Remember, you can untick this if you prefer to trade off the opening range instead.
NOTES:
Using momentum indicators can help (RSI and MACD): especially to trade range plays in failed breakouts, when momentum shifts… but the strategy won’t do this for you!
Using an anchored vwap at the session open can also provide nice confluence, as well as take-profit levels at the upper/lower of 3x standard deviation.
CLOSING TRADES:
You have 6 take-profit (TP) options:
1) Full TP: uses ATR Multiplier - Full TP at the ATR parameters as defined in inputs.
2) Take Partial profits: ATR Multiplier - Takes partial profits based on parameters as defined in inputs (i.e close 40% of original trade at TP1, close another 40% of original trade at TP2, then the remainder at Full TP as set in option 1.).
3) Full TP: Trailing Stop - Applies a Trailing Stop at the number of points, as defined in inputs.
4) Full TP: MA cross - Takes profit when price crosses ‘Trend MA’ as defined in inputs.
5) Scalp: Points - closes at a set number of points, as defined in inputs.
6) Full TP: PMKT Multiplier - places a SL at opposite pre-market Hi/Low (we go long at a break-out of the pre-market high, 50% would place a SL at the pre-market range mid-point; 100% would place a SL at the pre-market low)'. This takes profit at the input set in option 1).
Enhanced High Volume AbsorptionDescription of the "Enhanced High Volume Absorption" Indicator
The "Enhanced High Volume Absorption" indicator is a specialized trading tool designed for the TradingView platform, optimized for the 15-minute chart timeframe. It offers traders a unique approach to analyzing market momentum and strength by focusing on significant volume movements, which are often precursors to major price shifts.
What the Indicator Does:
High Volume Detection: This indicator identifies periods of high volume trading, which is a key indicator of strong market interest. High volume periods often precede significant price movements, making this an essential tool for anticipating market trends.
Volume Absorption Analysis: It analyzes the absorption of volume in the market. Absorption here refers to situations where the market is able to absorb trading volumes significantly higher than the average without a corresponding substantial change in price. This can be an indication of strong underlying market strength or weakness.
Price Movement Correlation: The script correlates volume spikes with price movements (upward or downward) to provide context to the volume absorption. This correlation helps determine whether the absorption is due to buying pressure (bullish indication) or selling pressure (bearish indication).
How It Does It:
Moving Average Comparisons: The script calculates short-term and long-term Simple Moving Averages (SMAs) of trading volumes. By comparing current volumes to these averages, it determines if the current volume is significantly higher than usual.
Volume Thresholds: It uses user-defined multipliers and minimum volume thresholds to filter significant volume events, ensuring that only notable volume spikes are considered.
Impact Analysis: Alongside volume analysis, the script computes the price change and its impact as a percentage of the current price, providing insights into the magnitude of price movements during these high-volume periods.
How to Use It:
Market Entry and Exit Points: The indicator can be used to spot potential entry and exit points. For example, a high volume absorption event with a minimal price change might indicate a strong support or resistance level.
Confirming Market Sentiment: It can be used in conjunction with other technical indicators to confirm market trends or reversals. High volume absorption aligned with other bullish or bearish indicators can provide a stronger case for a market move.
Scalping and Short-Term Trading: Optimized for the 15-minute timeframe, this indicator is particularly useful for scalpers and short-term traders. It helps in identifying quick market movements and can be a crucial part of a scalping strategy.
Originality and Underlying Concepts:
The originality of this indicator lies in its specific focus on volume absorption and its impact on price, especially tailored for short-term trading scenarios. Unlike many indicators that only analyze price movements or standard volume analysis, this script delves deeper into how the market is reacting to volume spikes, offering a nuanced view of market dynamics
that is often overlooked. The concept of volume absorption, coupled with the analysis of price movement direction, provides a unique perspective on market strength or weakness.
This tool is distinct in its approach as it doesn't just follow trends or provide generic scalping signals. Instead, it offers a methodical analysis of volume dynamics in relation to price action. By focusing on how the market absorbs volume, the indicator gives traders insights into whether current market movements are backed by substantial trading activity or if they are more likely to be short-lived.
Understanding volume absorption is crucial, especially in a 15-minute trading environment where market movements are swift and require quick decision-making. This indicator aids in identifying those moments when the market shows a significant reaction (or lack thereof) to large volumes, indicating potential setup for a strong move or reversal.
In summary, the "Enhanced High Volume Absorption" indicator is a valuable tool for traders who want to incorporate volume analysis into their trading strategy, especially in a fast-paced, short-term trading environment. It provides a deeper understanding of market dynamics, enabling traders to make more informed decisions based on the interplay between volume and price action.
[Sniper] SSL Hybrid + QQE MOD + Waddah Attar StrategyHi. I’m DuDu95.
**********************************************************************************
This is the script for the series called "Sniper".
*** What is "Sniper" Series? ***
"Sniper" series is the project that I’m going to start.
In "Sniper" Series, I’m going to "snipe and shoot" the youtuber’s strategy: to find out whether the youtuber’s video about strategy is "true or false".
Specifically, I’m going to do the things below.
1. Implement "Youtuber’s strategy" into pinescript code.
2. Then I will "backtest" and prove whether "the strategy really works" in the specific ticker (e.g. BTCUSDT) for the specific timeframe (e.g. 5m).
3. Based on the backtest result, I will rate and judge whether the youtube video is "true" or "false", and then rate the validity, reliability, robustness, of the strategy. (like a lie detector)
*** What is the purpose of this series? ***
1. To notify whether the strategy really works for the people who watched the youtube video.
2. To find and build my own scalping / day trading strategy that really works.
**********************************************************************************
*** Strategy Description ***
This strategy is from "SSL QQE MOD 5MIN SCALPING STRATEGY" by youtuber "Daily Investments".
"Daily Investments" claimed that this strategy will make you some money from 100 trades in any ticker in 5 minute timeframe.
### Entry Logic
1. Long Entry Logic
- close > SSL Hybrid Baseline.
- QQE MOD should turn into blue color.
- Waddah Attar Explosion indicator must be green.
2. Short Entry Logic
- close < SSL Hybrid Baseline
- QQE MOD should turn into red color.
- Waddah Attar Explosion indicator must be red.
### Exit Logic
1. Long Exit Logic
- When QQE MOD turn into red color.
2. Short Entry Logic
- When QQE MOD turn into blue color.
### StopLoss
1. Can Choose Stop Loss Type: Percent, ATR, Previous Low / High.
2. Can Chosse inputs of each Stop Loss Type.
### Take Profit
1. Can set Risk Reward Ratio for Take Profit.
- To simplify backtest, I erased all other options except RR Ratio.
- You can add Take Profit Logic by adding options in the code.
2. Can set Take Profit Quantity.
### Risk Manangement
1. Can choose whether to use Risk Manangement Logic.
- This controls the Quantity of the Entry.
- e.g. If you want to take 3% risk per trade and stop loss price is 6% below the long entry price,
then 50% of your equity will be used for trade.
2. Can choose How much risk you would take per trade.
### Plot
1. Added Labels to check the data of entry / exit positions.
2. Changed and Added color different from the original one. (green: #02732A, red: #D92332, yellow: #F2E313)
3. SSL Hybrid Baseline is by default drawn on the chart.
4. If you check EMA filter, EMA would be drawn on the chart.
5. Should add QQE MOD and Waddah Attar Explosion indicator manually if you want to see QQE MOD.
**********************************************************************************
*** Rating: True or False?
### Rating:
→ 1.5 / 5 (0 = Trash, 1 = Bad, 2 = Not Good, 3 = Good, 4 = Great, 5 = Excellent)
### True or False?
→ False
→ Doesn't Work on 5 minute timeframe. Also, it doesn't work on crypto.
### Better Option?
→ Use this for Day trading or Swing Trading, not for Scalping. (Bigger Timeframe)
→ Although the result was bad at 5 minute timeframe, it was profitable in 1h, 2h, 4h, 8h, 1d timeframe.
→ BTC, ETH was ok.
→ The result was better when I use EMA filter (only on longer timeframe).
### Robust?
→ So So. Although result was bad in short timeframe (e.g. 30m 15m 5m), backtest result was "consistently" profitable on longer timeframe.
→ Also, MDD was not that bad under risk management option on.
**********************************************************************************
*** Conclusion?
→ Don't use this on short timeframe.
→ Better use on longer timeframe with filter, stoploss and risk management.
VIX Volatility Trend Analysis With Signals - Stocks OnlyVIX VOLATILITY TREND ANALYSIS CLOUD WITH BULLISH & BEARISH SIGNALS - STOCKS ONLY
This indicator is a visual aid that shows you the bullish or bearish trend of VIX market volatility so you can see the VIX trend without switching charts. When volatility goes up, most stocks go down and vice versa. When the cloud turns green, it is a bullish sign. When the cloud turns red, it is a bearish sign.
This indicator is meant for stocks with a lot of price action and volatility, so for best results, use it on charts that move similar to the S&P 500 or other similar charts.
This indicator uses real time data from the stock market overall, so it should only be used on stocks and will only give a few signals during after hours. It does work ok for crypto, but will not give signals when the US stock market is closed.
**HOW TO USE**
When the VIX Volatility Index trend changes direction, it will give a green or red line on the chart depending on which way the VIX is now trending. The cloud will also change color depending on which way the VIX is trending. Use this to determine overall market volatility and place trades in the direction that the indicator is showing. Do not use this by itself as sometimes markets won’t react perfectly to the overall market volatility. It should only be used as a secondary confirmation in your trading/trend analysis.
For more signals with earlier entries, go into settings and reduce the number. 10-100 is best for scalping. For less signals with later entries, change the number to a higher value. Use 100-500 for swing trades. Can go higher for long swing trades. Our favorite settings are 20, 60, 100, 500 and 1000.
***MARKETS***
This indicator should only be used on the US stock markets as signals are given based on the VIX volatility index which measures volatility of the US Stock Markets.
***TIMEFRAMES***
This indicator works on all time frames, but after hours will not change much at all due to the markets being closed.
**INVERSE CHARTS**
If you are using this on an inverse ETF and the signals are showing backwards, please comment with what chart it is and I will configure the indicator to give the correct signals. I have included over 50 inverse ETFs into the code to show the correct signals on inverse charts, but I'm sure there are some that I have missed so feel free to let me know and I will update the script with the requested tickers.
***TIPS***
Try using numerous indicators of ours on your chart so you can instantly see the bullish or bearish trend of multiple indicators in real time without having to analyze the data. Some of our favorites are our Auto Fibonacci, Directional Movement Index, Volume Profile with buy & sell pressure, Auto Support And Resistance, Vix Scalper and Money Flow Index in combination with this Vix Trend Analysis. They all have real time Bullish and Bearish labels as well so you can immediately understand each indicator's trend.
TREV Candles - Range-Based Trend ReversalTREV Candles - Range-Based Trend Reversal Chart Implementation
What is a Trend Reversal (TREV) Chart?
A Trend Reversal chart, also known as a Point & Figure chart variation, is a unique charting method that focuses on price movement thresholds rather than time intervals. Unlike traditional candlestick charts where each candle represents a fixed time period, TREV candles form only when price moves by predefined amounts in ticks.
TREV charts eliminate time-based noise and focus purely on significant price movements, making them ideal for identifying genuine trend changes and continuation patterns.
How TREV Candles Work
This indicator implements true TREV logic with two critical thresholds:
Trend Size: The number of ticks price must move in the current direction to form a trend continuation candle
Reversal Size: The number of ticks price must move against the current direction to form a reversal candle and change the overall trend direction
Key TREV Rules Enforced:
Direction Changes Only Through Reversals: You cannot go from bullish trend directly to bearish trend - a reversal candle must occur first
Threshold-Based Formation: Candles form only when price thresholds are breached, not on time
Logical Wick Placement: Wicks only appear on the "open" side of candles where price temporarily moved against the formation direction
Multiple Candles Per Bar: When price moves significantly, several TREV candles can form within a single time-based bar
Four Distinct Candle Types
Bullish Trend (Green): Continues upward movement when trend threshold is hit
Bearish Trend (Red): Continues downward movement when trend threshold is hit
Bullish Reversal (Blue): Changes from bearish to bullish direction when reversal threshold is breached
Bearish Reversal (Orange): Changes from bullish to bearish direction when reversal threshold is breached
Practical Trading Applications
Trend Identification: Clear visual representation of when trends are continuing vs. reversing
Noise Reduction: Filters out insignificant price movements that don't meet threshold requirements
Support/Resistance: TREV levels often act as significant support and resistance zones
Breakout Confirmation: When price forms multiple trend candles in succession, it confirms strong directional movement
Reversal Signals: Reversal candles provide early warning of potential trend changes
Technical Implementation Features
Intelligent Price Path Processing: Analyzes the assumed price path within each bar (Low→High→Close for bullish bars, High→Low→Close for bearish bars)
Automatic Tick Size Detection: Works with any instrument by automatically detecting the correct tick size
Manual Override Option: Allows manual tick size specification for custom analysis
Impossible Scenario Prevention: Built-in logic prevents impossible wick configurations and direction changes
PineScript Optimization: Efficient state management and drawing limits handling for smooth performance
Comprehensive Styling Options
Each of the four candle types offers complete visual customization:
Body Colors: Independent color settings for each candle type's body
Border Colors: Separate border color customization
Border Styles: Choose from solid, dashed, or dotted borders
Wick Colors: Individual wick color settings for each candle type
Default Color Scheme:
🟢 Bullish Trend: Green body and wicks
🔵 Bullish Reversal: Blue body and wicks
🔴 Bearish Trend: Red body and wicks
🟠 Bearish Reversal: Orange body and wicks
Configuration Guidelines
Trend Size: Larger values create fewer, more significant trend candles. Smaller values increase sensitivity
Reversal Size: Should typically be smaller than trend size. Controls how easily the trend direction can change
Tick Size: Use "auto" for most instruments. Manual override useful for custom point values or backtesting
Ideal Use Cases
Swing Trading: Identify major trend changes and continuation patterns
Scalping: Use smaller thresholds to catch quick reversals and momentum shifts
Position Trading: Use larger thresholds to filter noise and focus on major trend moves
Multi-Timeframe Analysis: Compare TREV patterns across different threshold settings
Support/Resistance Trading: TREV close levels often become significant price zones
Why This Implementation is Superior
True TREV Logic: Enforces proper trend reversal rules that many implementations ignore
No Impossible Scenarios: Prevents wicks on both sides of candles and impossible direction changes
Professional Visualization: Clean, customizable appearance suitable for serious analysis
Performance Optimized: Handles large datasets without lag or drawing limit issues
Educational Value: Helps traders understand the difference between time-based and threshold-based charting
Perfect for traders who want to see beyond time-based noise and focus on what price is actually doing - moving in significant, measurable amounts that matter for trading decisions.

⸻
Visual Features:
• Gradient fill between the Z Curl Line and Signal 1 to highlight slope acceleration.
• Histogram showing the difference between the Z Curl Line and its signal.
• Optional signal crossover shapes between configurable pairs (e.g., Z Curl vs. Signal).
• Background highlights when the Z Curl Line exceeds ±2, indicating strong trending behavior.
⸻
Customization:
• Adjustable EMA length, smoothing lengths, signal lengths, histogram smoothing, and Z-score lookback.
• Separate color controls for:
• Z-score strength bands (mild/moderate/strong up/down)
• Histogram bars
• Signal lines
• Background highlight zones
• Crossover shapes
⸻
Use Cases:
• Momentum Confirmation: Confirm strength when Z Curl exceeds ±2 with matching background highlights.
• Trend Entry Timing: Look for trades when Z Curl crosses above or below the 0-line.
• Scalping: Capture quick directional moves when momentum accelerates.
• Trend Following: Use strong Z Curl values to confirm trade direction and filter sideways action.
• Divergence Detection: Spot divergences between price and Z Curl movement to anticipate reversals.

Pivot Channel LevelsPivot Channel Levels
Indicator Description
“Pivot Channel Levels” is an advanced technical analysis tool that identifies key price pivots (highs and lows) and creates dynamic support and resistance levels based on the wicks of candles at these points (or bodies if wicks are minimal). The indicator analyzes the volume at the time of a pivot’s formation, displaying its value and percentage change relative to the volume’s simple moving average (SMA).
It does not generate buy/sell signals but provides a clear visualization of market structure, helping traders identify potential price reaction zones and assess the strength of market movements.
Why Are Wicks Important?
Candle wicks at price pivots indicate significant market reactions in key areas. Depending on the context, they may signal rejection, testing, or absorption of a support or resistance level. Long wicks often appear where large players are active, and the marked zones are frequently retested. The indicator allows for quick identification and observation of their impact on future price action.
Why Use It?
- Precise Support and Resistance Levels: The indicator draws price channels based on candle wicks at pivots (or bodies if wicks are absent), enabling better identification of zones where price may react.
- Volume Analysis: It shows how the volume at a pivot differs from the average, indicating potential activity by large players or key market moments.
- Visual Clarity: Colored lines, channel fills, and clear labels facilitate quick chart analysis, even on short timeframes.
- Flexibility: Adjustable pivot length, volume average, and label colors allow customization to various trading strategies.
How It Works
- Pivot Detection: Automatically identifies local highs and lows based on the “Pivot Length” parameter (default: 20 candles). This means a pivot appears on the chart with a 20-candle delay. Reducing this value allows faster pivot detection (after fewer candles), increasing their number but potentially generating more noise.
- Channel Creation: Draws support and resistance levels based on the wicks of candles at pivot points (or bodies if wicks are minimal) with a delay to confirm zones. A pivot channel is drawn until the next pivot is identified, but if not previously broken, it remains valid as active support or resistance.
- Volume Analysis: Displays the volume at the pivot’s formation and its percentage change relative to the volume’s SMA.
- Visualization: Pivot and channel levels are shown as lines with fills, and labels display volume and its deviation from the average.
Trading Applications
- Swing Trading: Use pivot levels and channels to identify price reversal points or consolidation zones.
- Scalping: Monitor price reactions to channels on short timeframes, especially with high volume.
- Faster Pivot Identification: Switch to a lower timeframe (e.g., from H1 to M15) to identify pivots more quickly, allowing earlier reactions to price changes.
- Market Context Analysis: High volume at pivots may indicate significant levels likely to be retested.
- Combining with Other Tools: The indicator pairs well with Fibonacci retracement, supply/demand zones, or oscillators like RSI.
Settings and Customization
- Pivot Length: Determines how many candles back and forward are analyzed to detect pivots (default: 20). A smaller value increases sensitivity, a larger one enhances stability.
- Volume Average: Length of the SMA for volume (default: 20). Adjust to better reflect market characteristics.
- Label Colors: Choose colors for bullish and bearish pivot labels to match your chart style.
Usage Examples
- Identifying Key Zones: If the price approaches a pivot level with high volume (e.g., +50% relative to SMA), it may signal strong support or resistance.
- Breakout Confirmation: A channel breakout with high volume can indicate trend continuation.
- Price Reaction Analysis: Long wicks at pivots with high volume may signal level rejection by large players.
Notes for Users
- The indicator performs best on highly liquid markets (e.g., Forex, indices, cryptocurrencies).
- On short timeframes (e.g., M1, M5), it may generate more noise—adjust “Pivot Length” to suit your needs.
- Consider combining with other indicators to confirm signals derived from pivot and volume analysis.

TEMA with Slope Color [MrBuCha]This TEMA indicator is particularly useful for trend following strategies. The key innovation here is using a higher timeframe (default 1-hour) to get a broader perspective on the trend direction, while the color-coding makes it immediately obvious whether the momentum is bullish (blue) or bearish (orange).
The 200-period length makes this more suitable for swing trading rather than day trading, as it filters out short-term noise and focuses on significant trend movements.
//
What is TEMA and How Does It Work?
TEMA (Triple Exponential Moving Average) is a technical indicator that builds upon the standard EMA to reduce lag and provide faster response to price changes. The calculation process is:
EMA1 = EMA of closing price with specified length
EMA2 = EMA of EMA1 with the same length
EMA3 = EMA of EMA2 with the same length
TEMA = 3 × (EMA1 - EMA2) + EMA3
This formula helps reduce the lag inherent in smoothing calculations, making TEMA more responsive to price movements compared to other moving averages.
Default Values
Length: 200 periods
Timeframe: "60" (1 hour)
Slope Colors
Blue: When TEMA is trending upward (tema_current > tema_previous)
Orange: When TEMA is trending downward (tema_current ≤ tema_previous)
Pros and Cons Summary
Advantages:
Fast Response: Reduces lag better than SMA and regular EMA
Easy to Use: Color-coded slope makes trend direction immediately visible
Multi-timeframe Capability: Can display TEMA from higher timeframes
Trend Following: Excellent for identifying trend direction
Visual Clarity: Clear color signals help with quick decision making
Disadvantages:
False Signals: Prone to whipsaws in sideways/choppy markets
Noise in Volatility: Frequent color changes during high volatility periods
Not Suitable for Scalping: Length of 200 is quite long for short-term trading
Still Lagging: Despite improvements, it remains a lagging indicator
Requires Confirmation: Should be used with other indicators for better accuracy
Best Use Cases:
Medium to long-term trend following
Identifying major trend changes
Multi-timeframe analysis
Combine with momentum oscillators for confirmation
Trading Tips:
Wait for color confirmation before entering trades
Use higher timeframe TEMA for overall trend bias
Combine with support/resistance levels
Avoid trading during consolidation periods
PhenLabs - Market Fluid Dynamics📊 Market Fluid Dynamics -
Version: PineScript™ v6
📌 Description
The Market Fluid Dynamics - Phen indicator is a new thinking regarding market analysis by modeling price action, volume, and volatility using a fluid system. It attempts to offer traders control over more profound market forces, such as momentum (speed), resistance (thickness), and buying/selling pressure. By visualizing such dynamics, the script allows the traders to decide on the prevailing market flow, its power, likely continuations, and zones of calmness and chaos, and thereby allows improved decision-making.
This measure avoids the usual difficulty of reconciling multiple, often contradictory, market indications by including them within a single overarching model. It moves beyond traditional binary indicators by providing a multi-dimensional view of market behavior, employing fluid dynamic analogs to describe complex interactions in an accessible manner.
🚀 Points of Innovation
Integrated Fluid Dynamics Model: Combines velocity, viscosity, pressure, and turbulence into a single indicator.
Normalized Metrics: Uses ATR and other normalization techniques for consistent readings across different assets and timeframes.
Dynamic Flow Visualization: Main flow line changes color and intensity based on direction and strength.
Turbulence Background: Visually represents market stability with a gradient background, from calm to turbulent.
Comprehensive Dashboard: Provides an at-a-glance summary of key fluid dynamic metrics.
Multi-Layer Smoothing: Employs several layers of EMA smoothing for a clearer, more responsive main flow line.
🔧 Core Components
Velocity Component: Measures price momentum (first derivative of price), normalized by ATR. It indicates the speed and direction of price changes.
Viscosity Component: Represents market resistance to price changes, derived from ATR relative to its historical average. Higher viscosity suggests it’s harder for prices to move.
Pressure Component: Quantifies the force created by volume and price range (close - open), normalized by ATR. It reflects buying or selling pressure.
Turbulence Detection: Calculates a Reynolds number equivalent to identify market stability, ranging from laminar (stable) to turbulent (chaotic).
Main Flow Indicator: Combines the above components, applying sensitivity and smoothing, to generate a primary signal of market direction and strength.
🔥 Key Features
Advanced Smoothing Algorithm: Utilizes multiple EMA layers on the raw flow calculation for a fluid and responsive main flow line, reducing noise while maintaining sensitivity.
Gradient Flow Coloring: The main flow line dynamically changes color from light to deep blue for bullish flow and light to deep red for bearish flow, with intensity reflecting flow strength. This provides an immediate visual cue of market sentiment and momentum.
Turbulence Level Background: The chart background changes color based on calculated turbulence (from calm gray to vibrant orange), offering an intuitive understanding of market stability and potential for erratic price action.
Informative Dashboard: A customizable on-screen table displays critical metrics like Flow State, Flow Strength, Market Viscosity, Turbulence, Pressure Force, Flow Acceleration, and Flow Continuity, allowing traders to quickly assess current market conditions.
Configurable Lookback and Sensitivity: Users can adjust the base lookback period for calculations and the sensitivity of the flow to viscosity, tailoring the indicator to different trading styles and market conditions.
Alert Conditions: Pre-defined alerts for flow direction changes (positive/negative crossover of zero line) and detection of high turbulence states.
🎨 Visualization
Main Flow Line: A smoothed line plotted below the main chart, colored blue for bullish flow and red for bearish flow. The intensity of the color (light to dark) indicates the strength of the flow. This line crossing the zero line can signal a change in market direction.
Zero Line: A dotted horizontal line at the zero level, serving as a baseline to gauge whether the market flow is positive (bullish) or negative (bearish).
Turbulence Background: The indicator pane’s background color changes based on the calculated turbulence level. A calm, almost transparent gray indicates low turbulence (laminar flow), while a more vibrant, semi-transparent orange signifies high turbulence. This helps traders visually assess market stability.
Dashboard Table: An optional table displayed on the chart, showing key metrics like ‘Flow State’, ‘Flow Strength’, ‘Market Viscosity’, ‘Turbulence’, ‘Pressure Force’, ‘Flow Acceleration’, and ‘Flow Continuity’ with their current values and qualitative descriptions (e.g., ‘Bullish Flow’, ‘Laminar (Stable)’).
📖 Usage Guidelines
Setting Categories
Show Dashboard - Default: true; Range: true/false; Description: Toggles the visibility of the Market Fluid Dynamics dashboard on the chart. Enable to see key metrics at a glance.
Base Lookback Period - Default: 14; Range: 5 - (no upper limit, practical limits apply); Description: Sets the primary lookback period for core calculations like velocity, ATR, and volume SMA. Shorter periods make the indicator more sensitive to recent price action, while longer periods provide a smoother, slower signal.
Flow Sensitivity - Default: 0.5; Range: 0.1 - 1.0 (step 0.1); Description: Adjusts how much the market viscosity dampens the raw flow. A lower value means viscosity has less impact (flow is more sensitive to raw velocity/pressure), while a higher value means viscosity has a greater dampening effect.
Flow Smoothing - Default: 5; Range: 1 - 20; Description: Controls the length of the EMA smoothing applied to the main flow line. Higher values result in a smoother flow line but with more lag; lower values make it more responsive but potentially noisier.
Dashboard Position - Default: ‘Top Right’; Range: ‘Top Right’, ‘Top Left’, ‘Bottom Right’, ‘Bottom Left’, ‘Middle Right’, ‘Middle Left’; Description: Determines the placement of the dashboard on the chart.
Header Size - Default: ‘Normal’; Range: ‘Tiny’, ‘Small’, ‘Normal’, ‘Large’, ‘Huge’; Description: Sets the text size for the dashboard header.
Values Size - Default: ‘Small’; Range: ‘Tiny’, ‘Small’, ‘Normal’, ‘Large’; Description: Sets the text size for the metric values in the dashboard.
✅ Best Use Cases
Trend Identification: Identifying the dominant market flow (bullish or bearish) and its strength to trade in the direction of the prevailing trend.
Momentum Confirmation: Using the flow strength and acceleration to confirm the conviction behind price movements.
Volatility Assessment: Utilizing the turbulence metric to gauge market stability, helping to adjust position sizing or avoid choppy conditions.
Reversal Spotting: Watching for divergences between price and flow, or crossovers of the main flow line above/below the zero line, as potential reversal signals, especially when combined with changes in pressure or viscosity.
Swing Trading: Leveraging the smoothed flow line to capture medium-term market swings, entering when flow aligns with the desired trade direction and exiting when flow weakens or reverses.
Intraday Scalping: Using shorter lookback periods and higher sensitivity to identify quick shifts in flow and turbulence for short-term trading opportunities, particularly in liquid markets.
⚠️ Limitations
Lagging Nature: Like many indicators based on moving averages and lookback periods, the main flow line can lag behind rapid price changes, potentially leading to delayed signals.
Whipsaws in Ranging Markets: During periods of low volatility or sideways price action (high viscosity, low flow strength), the indicator might produce frequent buy/sell signals (whipsaws) as the flow oscillates around the zero line.
Not a Standalone System: While comprehensive, it should be used in conjunction with other forms of analysis (e.g., price action, support/resistance levels, other indicators) and not as a sole basis for trading decisions.
Subjectivity in Interpretation: While the dashboard provides quantitative values, the interpretation of “strong” flow, “high” turbulence, or “significant” acceleration can still have a subjective element depending on the trader’s strategy and risk tolerance.
💡 What Makes This Unique
Fluid Dynamics Analogy: Its core strength lies in translating complex market interactions into an intuitive fluid dynamics framework, making concepts like momentum, resistance, and pressure easier to visualize and understand.
Market View: Instead of focusing on a single aspect (like just momentum or just volatility), it integrates multiple factors (velocity, viscosity, pressure, turbulence) to provide a more comprehensive picture of market conditions.
Adaptive Visualization: The dynamic coloring of the flow line and the turbulence background provide immediate, adaptive visual feedback that changes with market conditions.
🔬 How It Works
Price Velocity Calculation: The indicator first calculates price velocity by measuring the rate of change of the closing price over a given ‘lookback’ period. The raw velocity is then normalized by the Average True Range (ATR) of the same lookback period. Normalization enables comparison of momentum between assets or timeframes by scaling for volatility. This is the direction and speed of initial price movement.
Viscosity Calculation: Market ‘viscosity’ or resistance to price movement is determined by looking at the current ATR relative to its longer-term average (SMA of ATR over lookback * 2). The further the current ATR is above its average, the lower the viscosity (less resistance to price movement), and vice-versa. The script inverts this relationship and bounds it so that rising viscosity means more resistance.
Pressure Force Measurement: A ‘pressure’ variable is calculated as a function of the ratio of current volume to its simple moving average, multiplied by the price range (close - open) and normalized by ATR. This is designed to measure the force behind price movement created by volume and intraday price thrusts. This pressure is smoothed by an EMA.
Turbulence State Evaluation: A equivalent ‘Reynolds number’ is calculated by dividing the absolute normalized velocity by the viscosity. This is the proclivity of the market to move in a chaotic or orderly fashion. This ‘reynoldsValue’ is smoothed with an EMA to get the ‘turbulenceState’, which indicates if the market is laminar (stable), transitional, or turbulent.
Main Flow Derivation: The ‘rawFlow’ is calculated by taking the normalized velocity, dampening its impact based on the ‘viscosity’ and user-input ‘sensitivity’, and orienting it by the sign of the smoothed ‘pressureSmooth’. The ‘rawFlow’ is then put through multiple layers of exponential moving average (EMA) smoothing (with ‘smoothingLength’ and derived values) to reach the final ‘mainFlow’ line. The extensive smoothing is designed to give a smooth and clear visualization of the overall market direction and magnitude.
Dashboard Metrics Compilation: Additional metrics like flow acceleration (derivative of mainFlow), and flow continuity (correlation between close and volume) are calculated. All primary components (Flow State, Strength, Viscosity, Turbulence, Pressure, Acceleration, Continuity) are then presented in a user-configurable dashboard for ease of monitoring.
💡 Note:
The “Market Fluid Dynamics - Phen” indicator is designed to offer a unique perspective on market behavior by applying principles from fluid dynamics. It’s most effective when used to understand the underlying forces driving price rather than as a direct buy/sell signal generator in isolation. Experiment with the settings, particularly the ‘Base Lookback Period’, ‘Flow Sensitivity’, and ‘Flow Smoothing’, to find what best suits your trading style and the specific asset you are analyzing. Always combine its insights with robust risk management practices.
