Smart MACD Volume Trader# Smart MACD Volume Trader
## Overview
Smart MACD Volume Trader is an enhanced momentum indicator that combines the classic MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) oscillator with an intelligent high-volume filter. This combination significantly reduces false signals by ensuring that trading signals are only generated when price momentum is confirmed by substantial volume activity.
The indicator supports over 24 different instruments including major and exotic forex pairs, precious metals (gold and silver), energy commodities (crude oil, natural gas), and industrial metals (copper). For forex and commodity traders, the indicator automatically maps to CME and COMEX futures contracts to provide accurate institutional-grade volume data.
## Originality and Core Concept
Traditional MACD indicators generate signals based solely on price momentum, which can result in numerous false signals during low-activity periods or ranging markets. This indicator addresses this critical weakness by introducing a volume confirmation layer with automatic institutional volume integration.
**What makes this approach original:**
- Signals are triggered only when MACD crossovers coincide with elevated volume activity
- Implements a lookback mechanism to detect volume spikes within recent bars
- Automatically detects and maps 24+ forex pairs and commodities to their corresponding CME and COMEX futures contracts
- Provides real institutional volume data for forex pairs where spot volume is unreliable
- Combines two independent market dimensions (price momentum and volume) into a single, actionable signal
- Includes intelligent asset detection that works across multiple exchanges and ticker formats
**The underlying principle:** Volume validates price movement. When institutional money enters the market, it creates volume signatures. By requiring high volume confirmation and using actual institutional volume data from futures markets, this indicator filters out weak price movements and focuses on trades backed by genuine market participation. The automatic futures mapping ensures that forex and commodity traders always have access to the most accurate volume data available, without manual configuration.
## How It Works
### MACD Component
The indicator calculates MACD using standard methodology:
1. **Fast EMA (default: 12 periods)** - Tracks short-term price momentum
2. **Slow EMA (default: 26 periods)** - Tracks longer-term price momentum
3. **MACD Line** - Difference between Fast EMA and Slow EMA
4. **Signal Line (default: 9-period SMA)** - Smoothed average of MACD line
**Crossover signals:**
- **Bullish:** MACD line crosses above Signal line (momentum turning positive)
- **Bearish:** MACD line crosses below Signal line (momentum turning negative)
### Volume Filter Component
The volume filter adds an essential confirmation layer:
1. **Volume Moving Average** - Calculates exponential MA of volume (default: 20 periods)
2. **High Volume Threshold** - Multiplies MA by ratio (default: 2.0x or 200%)
3. **Volume Detection** - Identifies bars where current volume exceeds threshold
4. **Lookback Period** - Checks if high volume occurred in recent bars (default: 5 bars)
**Signal logic:**
- Buy/Sell signals only trigger when BOTH conditions are met:
- MACD crossover/crossunder occurs
- High volume detected within lookback period
### Automatic CME Futures Integration
For forex traders, spot FX volume data can be unreliable or non-existent. This indicator solves this problem by automatically detecting forex pairs and mapping them to corresponding CME futures contracts with real institutional volume data.
**Supported Major Forex Pairs (7):**
- EURUSD → CME:6E1! (Euro FX Futures)
- GBPUSD → CME:6B1! (British Pound Futures)
- AUDUSD → CME:6A1! (Australian Dollar Futures)
- USDJPY → CME:6J1! (Japanese Yen Futures)
- USDCAD → CME:6C1! (Canadian Dollar Futures)

- NZDUSD → CME:6N1! (New Zealand Dollar Futures)
**Supported Exotic Forex Pairs (4):**
- USDMXN → CME:6M1! (Mexican Peso Futures)
- USDRUB → CME:6R1! (Russian Ruble Futures)
- USDBRL → CME:6L1! (Brazilian Real Futures)
- USDZAR → CME:6Z1! (South African Rand Futures)
**Supported Cross Pairs (6):**
- EURJPY → CME:6E1! (Uses Euro Futures)
- GBPJPY → CME:6B1! (Uses British Pound Futures)
- EURGBP → CME:6E1! (Uses Euro Futures)
- AUDJPY → CME:6A1! (Uses Australian Dollar Futures)
- EURAUD → CME:6E1! (Uses Euro Futures)
- GBPAUD → CME:6B1! (Uses British Pound Futures)
**Supported Precious Metals (2):**
- Gold (XAUUSD, GOLD) → COMEX:GC1! (Gold Futures)
- Silver (XAGUSD, SILVER) → COMEX:SI1! (Silver Futures)
**Supported Energy Commodities (3):**
- WTI Crude Oil (USOIL, WTIUSD) → NYMEX:CL1! (Crude Oil Futures)

- Natural Gas (NATGAS) → NYMEX:NG1! (Natural Gas Futures)
**Supported Industrial Metals (1):**
- Copper (COPPER) → COMEX:HG1! (Copper Futures)
**How the automatic detection works:**
The indicator intelligently identifies the asset type by analyzing:
1. Exchange name (FX, OANDA, TVC, COMEX, NYMEX, etc.)
2. Currency pair pattern (6-letter codes like EURUSD, GBPUSD)
3. Commodity identifiers (XAU for gold, XAG for silver, OIL for crude)
When a supported instrument is detected, the indicator automatically switches to the corresponding futures contract for volume analysis. For stocks, cryptocurrencies, and other assets, the indicator uses the native volume data from the current chart.
**Visual feedback:**
An information table appears in the top-right corner of the MACD pane showing:
- Current chart symbol
- Exchange name
- Currency pair or asset name
- Volume source being used (highlighted in orange for futures, yellow for native volume)
- Current high volume status
This provides complete transparency about which data source the indicator is using for its volume analysis.
## How to Use
### Basic Setup
1. Add the indicator to your chart
2. The indicator displays in a separate pane (MACD) and overlay (signals/volume bars)
3. Default settings work well for most assets, but can be customized
### Signal Interpretation
### Visual Signals
**Visual Signals:**
- **Green "BUY" label** - Bullish MACD crossover confirmed by high volume
- **Red "SELL" label** - Bearish MACD crossunder confirmed by high volume
- **Green/Red candles** - Highlight bars with volume exceeding the threshold
- **Light green/red background** - Emphasizes signal bars on the chart
**Information Table:**
A detailed information table appears in the top-right corner of the MACD pane, providing real-time transparency about the indicator's operation:
- **Chart:** Current symbol being analyzed
- **Exchange:** The exchange or data feed being used
- **Pair:** The currency pair or asset name extracted from the ticker
- **Volume From:** The actual symbol used for volume analysis
- Orange color indicates CME or COMEX futures are being used (automatic institutional volume)
- Yellow color indicates native volume from the chart symbol is being used
- Hover tooltip shows whether automatic futures mapping is active
- **High Volume:** Current status showing YES (green) when volume exceeds threshold, NO (gray) otherwise
This table ensures complete transparency and allows you to verify that the correct volume source is being used for your analysis.
**Volume Analysis:**
- Gray histogram bars = Normal volume
- Red histogram bars = High volume (exceeds threshold)
- Green line = Volume moving average baseline
**MACD Analysis:**
- Blue line = MACD line (momentum indicator)
- Orange line = Signal line (trend confirmation)
- Gray dotted line = Zero line (bullish above, bearish below)
### Parameter Customization
**MACD Parameters:**
- Adjust Fast/Slow EMA lengths for different sensitivities
- Shorter periods = More signals, faster response
- Longer periods = Fewer signals, less noise
**Volume Parameters:**
- **Volume MA Period:** Higher values smooth volume analysis
- **High Volume Ratio:** Lower values (1.5x) = More signals; Higher values (3.0x) = Fewer, stronger signals
- **Volume Lookback Bars:** Controls how recent the volume spike must be
**Direction Filters:**
- **Only Buy Signals:** Enables long-only strategy mode
- **Only Sell Signals:** Enables short-only strategy mode
### Alert Configuration
The indicator includes three alert types:
1. **Buy Signal Alert** - Triggers when bullish signal appears
2. **Sell Signal Alert** - Triggers when bearish signal appears
3. **High Volume Alert** - Triggers when volume exceeds threshold
To set up alerts:
1. Click the indicator name → "Add alert on Smart MACD Volume Trader"
2. Select desired alert condition
3. Configure notification method (popup, email, webhook, etc.)
## Trading Strategy Guidelines
### Best Practices
**Recommended markets:**
- Liquid stocks (large-cap, high daily volume)
- Major forex pairs (EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDJPY, AUDUSD, USDCAD, USDCHF, NZDUSD)
- Exotic forex pairs (USDMXN, USDRUB, USDBRL, USDZAR)
- Cross pairs (EURJPY, GBPJPY, EURGBP, AUDJPY, EURAUD, GBPAUD)
- Precious metals (Gold, Silver with automatic COMEX futures mapping)
- Energy commodities (Crude Oil, Natural Gas with automatic NYMEX futures mapping)
- Industrial metals (Copper with automatic COMEX futures mapping)
- Major cryptocurrency pairs
- Index futures and ETFs
**Timeframe recommendations:**
- **Day trading:** 5-minute to 15-minute charts
- **Swing trading:** 1-hour to 4-hour charts
- **Position trading:** Daily charts
**Risk management:**
- Use signals as entry confirmation, not standalone strategy
- Combine with support/resistance levels
- Consider overall market trend direction
- Always use stop-loss orders
### Strategy Examples
**Trend Following Strategy:**
1. Identify overall trend using higher timeframe (e.g., daily chart)
2. Trade only in trend direction
3. Use "Only Buy" filter in uptrends, "Only Sell" in downtrends
4. Enter on signal, exit on opposite signal or at resistance/support
**Volume Breakout Strategy:**
1. Wait for consolidation period (low volume, tight MACD range)
2. Enter when signal appears with high volume (confirms breakout)
3. Target previous swing highs/lows
4. Stop loss below/above recent consolidation
**Forex Scalping Strategy (with automatic CME futures):**
1. The indicator automatically detects forex pairs and uses CME futures volume
2. Trade during active sessions only (use session filter)
3. Focus on quick profits (10-20 pips)
4. Exit at opposite signal or profit target
**Commodities Trading Strategy (Gold, Silver, Oil):**
1. The indicator automatically maps to COMEX and NYMEX futures contracts
2. Trade during high-liquidity sessions (overlap of major markets)
3. Use the high volume confirmation to identify institutional entry points
4. Combine with key support and resistance levels for entries
5. Monitor the information table to confirm futures volume is being used (orange color)
6. Exit on opposite MACD signal or at predefined profit targets
## Why This Combination Works
### The Volume Advantage
Studies consistently show that price movements accompanied by high volume are more likely to continue, while low-volume movements often reverse. This indicator leverages this principle by requiring volume confirmation.
**Key benefits:**
1. **Reduced False Signals:** Eliminates MACD whipsaws during low-volume consolidation
2. **Confirmation Bias:** Two independent indicators (price momentum + volume) agreeing
3. **Institutional Alignment:** High volume often indicates institutional participation
4. **Trend Validation:** Volume confirms that price momentum has "conviction"
### Statistical Edge
By combining two uncorrelated signals (MACD crossovers and volume spikes), the indicator creates a higher-probability setup than either signal alone. The lookback mechanism ensures signals aren't missed if volume spike slightly precedes the MACD cross.
## Supported Exchanges and Automatic Detection
The indicator includes intelligent asset detection that works across multiple exchanges and ticker formats:
**Forex Exchanges (Automatic CME Mapping):**
- FX (TradingView forex feed)
- OANDA
- FXCM
- SAXO
- FOREXCOM
- PEPPERSTONE
- EASYMARKETS
- FX_IDC
**Commodity Exchanges (Automatic COMEX/NYMEX Mapping):**
- TVC (TradingView commodity feed)
- COMEX (directly)
- NYMEX (directly)
- ICEUS
**Other Asset Classes (Native Volume):**
- Stock exchanges (NASDAQ, NYSE, AMEX, etc.)
- Cryptocurrency exchanges (BINANCE, COINBASE, KRAKEN, etc.)
- Index providers (SP, DJ, etc.)
The detection algorithm analyzes three factors:
1. Exchange prefix in the ticker symbol
2. Pattern matching for currency pairs (6-letter codes)
3. Commodity identifiers in the symbol name
This ensures accurate automatic detection regardless of which data feed or exchange you use for charting. The information table in the top-right corner always displays which volume source is being used, providing complete transparency.
## Technical Details
**Calculations:**
- MACD Fast MA: EMA(close, fastLength)
- MACD Slow MA: EMA(close, slowLength)
- MACD Line: Fast MA - Slow MA
- Signal Line: SMA(MACD Line, signalLength)
- Volume MA: Exponential MA of volume
- High Volume: Current volume >= Volume MA × Ratio
**Signal logic:**
```
Buy Signal = (MACD crosses above Signal) AND (High volume in last N bars)
Sell Signal = (MACD crosses below Signal) AND (High volume in last N bars)
```

- In downtrend looking for resistance only: select "max"
## 4. Pivot Window (Default: 5)
- **Function**: How many bars on each side are required to confirm a pivot
- **Technical explanation**: pivot low = price lower than 5 bars before it and 5 bars after it
- **Increase (7-10) when**:
- More significant extrema needed
- Less noise, fewer levels
- Good for higher timeframes
- **Decrease (3-4) when**:
- More sensitivity needed
- More levels wanted
- Good for scalping
- **Important**: Higher value = quality over quantity
## 5. Clustering Sensitivity % (Default: 0.5%)

- Lower timeframes with much noise
- Avoiding false consolidation
- **Decrease (2-3) when**:
- Higher timeframes
- Identifying quick movements
## 8. Alert Proximity % (Default: 1%)

RVI Divergence Detector with Custom SMA Filter (v6)This script enhances the classic Relative Vigor Index (RVI) by integrating divergence detection with a user-configurable SMA filter applied directly to the RVI oscillator. The goal is to help traders identify high-probability reversal and continuation signals by combining momentum analysis with dynamic baseline filtering.
How it works:
- The RVI measures the conviction behind price moves by comparing closing vs. opening prices relative to the high-low range over a 10-period window.
- Divergences are detected when price makes a new high/low but the RVI does not:
- Regular Bullish: Price makes a lower low, RVI makes a higher low → potential reversal up.
- Hidden Bullish: Price makes a higher low, RVI makes a lower low → trend continuation.
- Inverse logic applies for bearish cases.
- A customizable SMA (default: 14 periods) is plotted on the RVI line. This acts as a dynamic reference to assess whether divergences occur in strong momentum zones (far from SMA) or neutral zones (near SMA), helping filter out weaker signals.
- Users can adjust:
- Pivot lookback range (min/max bars)
- SMA period (1–200)
- Visibility of bullish/bearish and hidden/regular divergences
Why this version adds value:
Unlike basic RVI scripts, this adaptation introduces a configurable trend filter (SMA) and clear visual labeling ("D" for regular, "H" for hidden) with colored lines (green/red) connecting oscillator and price pivots—making divergences instantly recognizable. The logic is optimized for both scalping (short SMA) and swing trading (longer SMA).

DCA Percent SignalOverview
The DCA Percent Signal Indicator generates buy and sell signals based on percentage drops from all-time highs and percentage gains from lowest lows since ATH. This indicator is designed for pyramiding strategies where each signal represents a configurable percentage of equity allocation.
Definitions
DCA (Dollar-Cost Averaging): An investment strategy where you invest a fixed amount at regular intervals, regardless of price fluctuations. This indicator generates signals for a DCA-style pyramiding approach.
Gann Bar Types: Classification system for price bars based on their relationship to the previous bar:
Up Bar: High > previous high AND low ≥ previous low
Down Bar: High ≤ previous high AND low < previous low
Inside Bar: High ≤ previous high AND low ≥ previous low
Outside Bar: High > previous high AND low < previous low
ATH (All-Time High): The highest price level reached during the entire chart period
ATL (All-Time Low): The lowest price level reached since the most recent ATH
Pyramiding: A trading strategy that adds to positions on favorable price movements
Look-Ahead Bias: Using future information that wouldn't be available in real-time trading
Default Properties
Signal Thresholds:
Buy Threshold: 10% (triggers every 10% drop from ATH)
Sell Threshold: 30% (triggers every 30% gain from lowest low since ATH)
Price Sources:
ATH Tracking: High (ATH detection)
ATL Tracking: Low (low detection)
Buy Signal Source: Low (buy signals)
Sell Signal Source: High (sell signals)
Filter Options:
Apply Gann Filter: False (disabled by default)
Buy Sets ATL: False (disabled by default)
Display Options:
Show Buy/Sell Signals: True
Show Reference Lines: True
Show Info Table: False
Show Bar Type: False
How It Works
Buy Signals: Trigger every 10% drop from the all-time highest price reached
Sell Signals: Trigger every 30% increase from the lowest low since the most recent all-time high
Smart Tracking: Uses configurable price sources for signal generation
Key Features
Configurable Thresholds: Adjustable buy/sell percentage thresholds (default: 10%/30%)
Separate Price Sources: Independent sources for ATH tracking, ATL tracking, and signal triggers
Configurable Signals: Uses low for buy signals and high for sell signals by default
Optional Gann Filter: Apply Gann bar analysis for additional signal filtering
Optional Buy Sets ATL: Option to set ATL reference point when buy signals occur
Visual Debug: Detailed labels showing signal parameters and values
Usage Instructions
Apply to Chart: Use on any timeframe (recommended: 1D or higher for better signal quality)
Risk Management: Adjust thresholds based on your risk tolerance and market volatility
Signal Analysis: Monitor debug labels for detailed signal information and validation
Signal Logic
Buy signals are blocked when ATH increases to prevent buying at peaks
Sell signals are blocked when ATL decreases to prevent selling at lows
This ensures signals only trigger on subsequent bars, not the same bar that establishes new reference points
Buy Signals:
Calculate drop percentage from ATH to buy signal source
Trigger when drop reaches threshold increments (10%, 20%, 30%, etc.)
Always blocked on ATH bars to prevent buying at peaks
Optional: Also blocked on up/outside bars when Gann filter enabled
Sell Signals:
Calculate gain percentage from lowest low to sell signal source
Trigger when gain reaches threshold increments (30%, 60%, 90%, etc.)
Always blocked when ATL decreases to prevent selling at lows
Optional: Also blocked on down bars when Gann filter enabled
Limitations
Designed for trending markets; may generate many signals in sideways/ranging markets
Requires sufficient price movement to be effective
Not suitable for scalping or very short timeframes
Implementation Notes
Signals use optimistic price sources (low for buys, high for sells), these can be configured to be more conservative
Gann filter provides additional signal filtering based on bar types
Debug information available in data window for real-time analysis
Detailed labels on each signal show ATH, lowest low, buy level, sell level, and drop/gain percentages

NY 4H Wyckoff State Machine [CHE] NY 4H Wyckoff State Machine — Full (Re-Entry, Breakout, Wick, Re-Accum/Distrib, Dynamic Table) — One-Candle Wyckoff Re-Entry (OCWR)
Summary
OCWR operationalizes a one-candle session workflow: mark the first four-hour New York candle, fix its high and low as the session range when the window closes, and drive entries through a Wyckoff-style state machine on intraday bars. The script adds an ATR-scaled buffer around the range and requires multi-bar acceptance before treating breaks or re-entries as valid. Optional wick-cluster evidence, a proximity retest, and simple volume or RSI gates increase selectivity. Background tints expose regimes, shapes mark events, a dynamic table explains the current state, and hidden plots supply alert payloads. The design reduces random flips and makes state transitions auditable without higher-timeframe calls.
Origin and name
Method name: One-Candle Wyckoff Re-Entry (OCWR)
Transcript origin: The source idea is a “stupid simple one-candle scalping” routine: mark the first New York four-hour candle (commonly between one and five in the morning New York time), drop to five minutes, observe accumulation inside, wait for a manipulation move outside, then trade the re-entry back inside. Stops go beyond the excursion extreme; targets are either a fixed reward multiple or the opposite side of the range. Preference is given to several manipulation candles. This indicator codifies that workflow with explicit states, acceptance counters, buffers, and optional quality filters. Any external performance claims are not part of the code.
Motivation: Why this design?
Session levels are widely respected, yet single-bar breaches around them are noisy. OCWR separates range discovery from trade logic. It locks the range at the end of the window, applies an ATR-scaled buffer to ignore marginal oversteps, and requires acceptance over several bars for breaks and re-entries. Wick evidence and optional retest proximity help confirm that an excursion likely cleared liquidity rather than launched a trend. This yields cleaner transitions from test to commitment.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
Baseline: Static session lines or one-shot Wyckoff tags without process control.
Architecture: Dual long and short state machines; ATR-buffered edges; multi-bar acceptance for breaks and re-entries; optional wick dominance and cluster checks; optional retest tolerance; direct and opposite breakout paths; cooldown after fires; distribution timeout; dynamic table with highlighted row.
Practical effect: Fewer single-bar head-fakes, clearer hand-offs, and on-chart explanations of the machine’s view.
Wyckoff structure by example — OCWR on five minutes
One-candle setup:
On the four-hour chart, mark the first New York candle’s high and low, then switch to five minutes. Solid lines show the fixed range; dashed lines show ATR-buffered edges.
Long path (verbal mapping):
Phase A, Stopping Action: Price stabilizes inside the range.
Phase B, Consolidation: Sustained balance while the window is closed and after the range is fixed.
Phase C, Test (Spring): Excursion below the buffered low with preference for several outside bars and dominant lower wicks, then a return inside.
Re-entry acceptance: A required run of inside bars validates the test.
Phase D, Breakout to Markup: Long signal fires; stop beyond the excursion extreme; objective is the opposite range or a fixed reward multiple.
Phase E, Trend (Markup) and Re-Accumulation: Advance continues until target, stop, confirmation back against the box, or timeout. A pause inside trend may register as re-accumulation.
Short path mirrors the above: A UTAD-style move forms above the buffered high, then re-entry leads to Markdown and possible re-distribution.
Variant map (verbal):
Accumulation after a downtrend: with Spring and Test, or without Spring; both proceed to Markup and may pause in Re-Accumulation.
Distribution after an uptrend: with UTAD and Test, or without UTAD; both proceed to Markdown and may pause in Re-Distribution.
Note: Phases A through E occur within each variant and are not separate variants.
How it works (technical)
Session window: A configurable four-hour New York window records its high and low. At window end, the bounds are fixed for the session.
ATR buffer: A margin above and below the fixed range discourages triggers from tiny oversteps.
Inside and outside: Users choose close-based or wick-based detection. Overshoot requirements are expressed verbally as a fraction of the range with an optional absolute minimum.
Manipulation tracking: The machine counts bars spent outside and records the side extreme.
Re-entry acceptance: After a return inside, a specified number of inside bars must print before acceptance.
Direct and opposite breakouts: Direct breakouts from accumulation and opposite breakouts after manipulation are supported, subject to acceptance and optional filters.
Targets and exits: Choose the opposite boundary or a fixed reward multiple. Distribution ends on target, stop, confirmation back against the range, or timeout.
Context filters (optional): Volume above a scaled SMA, RSI thresholds, and a trend SMA for simple regime context.
Diagnostics: Background tints for regimes; arrows for re-entries; triangles for breakouts; table with row highlights; hidden plots for alert values.
Central table (Wyckoff console)
The table sits top-right and explains the machine’s stance. Columns: Structure label, plain-English description, active state pair for long and short, and human phase tags. Rows: Start and range building; accumulation branch with Spring and Test as well as direct breakout; Markup and re-accumulation; distribution branch with UTAD and Test as well as direct short breakout; Markdown and re-distribution. Only the active state cell is rewritten each last bar, for example “L_ACCUM slash S_ACCUM”. Row highlighting is context-aware: accumulation, Spring or UTAD, breakout, Markup or Markdown, and re-accumulation or re-distribution checks can highlight independently so users see simultaneous conditions. The table is created once, updated only on the last bar for efficiency, and functions as a read-only console to audit why a signal fired and where the path currently sits.
Parameter Guide
Session window and time zone: First four hours of New York by default; time zone “America/New_York”.
ATR length and buffer factor: Control buffer size; larger reduces sensitivity, smaller reacts faster.
Minimum overshoot (fraction and absolute): Demand meaningful extension beyond the buffer.
Break mode: Close-based is stricter; wick-based is more reactive.
Acceptance counts: Separate counts for break, re-entry, and opposite breakout; higher values reduce noise.
Minimum bars outside: Ensures manipulation is not a single spike.
Wick detection and clusters (optional): Dominance thresholds and cluster size within a short window.
Retest required and tolerance (optional): Gate re-entry by proximity to the buffered edge.
Volume and RSI filters (optional): Simple gates on activity and momentum.
TP mode and reward multiple: Opposite range or fixed multiple.
Cooldown and distribution timeout: Rate-limit signals and prevent endless distribution.
Visualization toggles: Background phases, labels, table, and helper lines.
Reading & Interpretation
Solid lines are the fixed session bounds; dashed lines are buffers. Backgrounds tint accumulation, manipulation, and distribution. Arrows show accepted re-entries; triangles show direct or opposite breakouts. Labels can summarize entry, stop, target, and risk. The table highlights the active row and the current state pair.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
OCWR baseline: Each morning, mark the New York four-hour candle, move to five minutes, prefer multi-bar manipulation outside, then wait for a qualified re-entry inside. Stop beyond the excursion extreme. Target the opposite range for conservative management or a fixed multiple for uniform sizing.
Trend following: Favor direct breakouts with trend alignment and no contradictory wick evidence.
Quality control: When noise rises, increase acceptance, raise the buffer factor, enable retest, and require wick clusters.
Discretionary confluences: Fair-value gaps and trend lines can be added by the user; they are not computed by this script.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Closed-bar confirmation is recommended when you require finality; live-bar conditions can change until close. The script does not call higher-timeframe data. It uses arrays, lines, labels, boxes, and a table; maximum bars back is five thousand; table updates are last-bar only. Known limits include compressed buffers in quiet sessions, unreliable wick evidence in thin markets, and session misalignment if the platform time zone is not New York.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Start with ATR length fourteen, buffer factor near zero point fifteen, overshoot fraction near zero point ten, acceptance counts of two, minimum outside duration three, retest required on.
Too many flips: increase acceptance, raise buffer, enable retest, and tighten wick thresholds.
Too slow: reduce acceptance, lower buffer, switch to wick-based breaks, disable retest.
Noisy wicks: increase minimum wick ratio and cluster size, or disable wick detection.

Hyper Strength Index | QuantLapse🧠 Hyper Strength Index (HSI) | QuantLapse
Overview:
The Hyper Strength Index (HSI) is a composite momentum oscillator designed to unify multiple strength measures into a single, adaptive framework. It combines the Relative Strength Index (RSI), Chande Momentum Oscillator (CMO), Money Flow Index (MFI), and Stochastic RSI to deliver a refined, multidimensional view of market momentum and overbought/oversold conditions.
Unlike traditional oscillators that rely on a single formula, the HSI averages four distinct momentum perspectives — price velocity, directional conviction, volume participation, and stochastic behavior — offering traders a more balanced and noise-resistant reading of market strength.
⚙️ Calculation Logic:
The Hyper Strength Index is computed as the normalized average of:
📈 RSI — classic measure of relative momentum.
💪 CMO — captures directional bias and intensity of moves.
💵 MFI — integrates volume and money flow pressure.
🔄 Stochastic RSI (K-line) — identifies momentum extremes and short-term turning points.
This fusion creates a smoother, more comprehensive signal, mitigating the weaknesses of any single oscillator.
🎯 Interpretation:
Overbought Zone (Default: > 75):
Indicates potential exhaustion of bullish momentum — a cooling phase or reversal may follow.
Oversold Zone (Default: < 7):
Suggests bearish exhaustion — a rebound or accumulation phase may emerge.
Neutral Zone (Between 7 and 75):
Represents balanced market conditions or trend continuation phases.
Visual cues highlight key conditions:
🔺 Red Highlights — Overbought regions or downward inflection points.
🔻 Green Highlights — Oversold regions or upward inflection points.
Neutral zones are shaded with subtle gray backgrounds for clarity.
💡 Key Features:
🔹 Multi-factor strength analysis (RSI + CMO + MFI + StochRSI).
🔹 Adaptive overbought/oversold detection.
🔹 Visual alerts via colored backgrounds and bar markers.
🔹 Customizable smoothing and length parameters for fine-tuning sensitivity.
🔹 Intuitive visualization ideal for both short-term scalping and swing trading setups.
🧭 Usage Notes:
Works best as a momentum confirmation tool — pair with trend filters like EMA, SuperTrend, or ADX.
In trending markets, use crossovers from extreme zones as potential continuation or exhaustion signals.
In ranging markets, exploit overbought/oversold reversals for high-probability mean reversion trades.
📘 Summary:
The Hyper Strength Index | QuantLapse distills multiple dimensions of market strength into a single, cohesive oscillator. By merging price, volume, and directional momentum, it provides traders with a more robust, responsive, and context-aware perspective on market dynamics — a next-generation evolution beyond the limitations of RSI or CMO alone.

HermesHERMES STRATEGY - TRADINGVIEW DESCRIPTION
OVERVIEW
Hermes is an adaptive trend-following strategy that uses dual ALMA (Arnaud Legoux Moving Average) filters to identify high-quality entry and exit points. It's designed for swing and position traders who want smooth, low-lag signals with minimal whipsaws.
Unlike traditional moving averages that operate on price, Hermes analyzes price returns (percentage changes) to create signals that work consistently across any asset class and price range.
HOW IT WORKS
DUAL ALMA SYSTEM
The strategy uses two ALMA lines applied to price returns:
• Fast ALMA (Blue Line): Short-term trend signal (default: 80 periods)
• Slow ALMA (Black Line): Long-term baseline trend (default: 250 periods)
ALMA is superior to simple or exponential moving averages because it provides:
• Smoother curves with less noise
• Significantly reduced lag
• Natural resistance to outliers and flash crashes
TRADING LOGIC
BUY SIGNAL:
• Fast ALMA crosses above Slow ALMA (bullish regime)
• Price makes new N-bar high (momentum confirmation)
• Optional: Price above 200 EMA (macro trend filter)
• Optional: ALMA lines sufficiently separated (strength filter)
SELL SIGNAL:
• Fast ALMA crosses below Slow ALMA (bearish regime)
• Optional: Price makes new N-bar low (momentum confirmation)
The strategy stays in position during the entire bullish regime, allowing you to ride trends for weeks or months.
VISUAL INDICATORS
LINES:
• Blue Line: Fast ALMA (short-term signal)
• Black Line: Slow ALMA (long-term baseline)
TRADE MARKERS:
• Green Triangle Up: Buy executed
• Red Triangle Down: Sell executed
• Orange "M": Buy blocked by momentum filter
• Purple "W": Buy blocked by weak crossover strength
KEY PARAMETERS
ALMA SETTINGS:
• Short Period (default: 30) - Fast signal responsiveness
• Long Period (default: 250) - Baseline stability
• ALMA Offset (default: 0.90) - Balance between lag and smoothness
• ALMA Sigma (default: 7.5) - Gaussian curve width
ENTRY/EXIT FILTERS:
• Buy Lookback (default: 7) - Bars for momentum confirmation (required)
• Sell Lookback (default: 0) - Exit momentum bars (0 = disabled for faster exits)
• Min Crossover Strength (default: 0.0) - Required ALMA separation (0 = disabled)
• Use Macro Filter (default: true) - Only enter above 200 EMA
BEST PRACTICES
RECOMMENDED ASSETS - Works well on:
• Cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc.)
• Major indices (S&P 500, Nasdaq)
• Large-cap stocks
• Commodities (Gold, Oil)
RECOMMENDED TIMEFRAMES:
• Daily: Primary timeframe for swing trading
• 4-Hour: More active trading (increase trade frequency)
• Weekly: Long-term position trading
PARAMETER TUNING:
• More trades: Lower Short Period (60-80)
• Fewer trades: Raise Short Period (100-120)
• Faster exits: Set Sell Lookback = 0
• Safer entries: Enable Macro Filter (Use Macro Filter = true)
STRATEGY ADVANTAGES
1. Low Lag - ALMA provides faster signals than traditional moving averages
2. Smooth Signals - Minimal whipsaws compared to crossover strategies
3. Asset Agnostic - Same parameters work across different markets
4. Trend Capture - Stays positioned during entire bullish regimes
5. Risk Management - Multiple filters prevent poor entries
6. Visual Clarity - Easy to interpret regime and filter states
WHEN TO USE HERMES
BEST FOR:
• Trending markets (crypto bull runs, equity uptrends)
• Swing trading (hold days to weeks)
• Position trading (hold weeks to months)
• Clear trend identification
• Risk-managed exposure
NOT SUITABLE FOR:
• Ranging/sideways markets
• Scalping or day trading
• High-frequency trading
• Mean reversion strategies
RISK DISCLAIMER

• Default settings work well for most assets
ICT HTF Volume Candles (Based on HTF Candles by Fadi)# ICT HTF Volume Candles - Multi-Timeframe Volume Analysis
## Overview
This indicator provides multi-timeframe volume visualization designed to complement price action analysis. It displays volume data from up to 6 higher timeframes simultaneously in a separate panel, allowing traders to identify volume spikes, divergences, and institutional activity without switching between timeframes.
**Original Concept Credits:** This indicator builds upon the HTF Candles framework by Fadi, adapting it specifically for volume analysis with enhanced features including gap-filling for extended hours, multiple scaling methods, and advanced synchronization.
## What Makes This Script Original
### Key Innovations:
1. **Three Volume Scaling Methods:**
- **Per-HTF Auto Scale:** Each timeframe scales independently for detailed comparison
- **Global Auto Scale:** All timeframes use unified scale for relative volume comparison
- **Manual Scale:** User-defined maximum for consistent analysis across sessions
2. **Bullish/Bearish Volume Differentiation:**
- Volume bars colored based on price movement (close vs open)
- Separate styling for bullish (green) and bearish (red) volume periods
- Helps identify whether volume supports price direction
3. **Advanced Time Synchronization:**
- Custom daily candle open times (Midnight, 8:30 AM, 9:30 AM ET)
- Timezone-aware calculations for New York trading hours
- Real-time countdown timers for each timeframe
- **Gap-filling technology** for continuous display during extended hours and weekends
4. **Flexible Display Options:**
- Configurable spacing and positioning
- Label placement (top, bottom, or both)
- Day-of-week or time interval labels on candles
- Works reliably in backtesting and live trading
## How It Works
### Volume Calculation
The indicator uses `request.security()` with optimized parameters to fetch volume data from higher timeframes:
- **Volume Open/High/Low/Close (OHLC):** Tracks volume changes within each HTF candle
- **Color Logic:** Compares HTF close vs open prices to determine bullish/bearish classification
- **Alignment:** All volume bars share a common baseline for easy visual comparison
- **Gap Handling:** Uses `gaps=barmerge.gaps_off` to maintain continuity during non-trading hours
### Technical Implementation
```
1. Monitors HTF timeframe changes using request.security() with lookahead
2. Creates new VolumeCandle object when HTF bar opens
3. Updates current candle's volume H/L/C on each chart bar
4. Applies selected scaling method to normalize display height
5. Repositions all candles and labels on each bar update
6. Fills gaps automatically during extended hours for consistent display
```
### Scaling Methods Explained
**Method 1 - Auto Scale per HTF:**
Each timeframe displays volume relative to its own maximum. Best for identifying patterns within each individual timeframe.
**Method 2 - Global Auto Scale:**
All timeframes share the same scale based on the highest volume across all HTFs. Best for comparing relative volume strength between timeframes.
**Method 3 - Manual Scale:**
User sets maximum volume value. Best for maintaining consistent scale across different trading sessions or instruments.
## How to Use This Indicator
### Setup
1. Add indicator to your chart (it appears in a separate panel below price)
2. Configure up to 6 higher timeframes (default: 5m, 15m, 1H, 4H, 1D, 1W)
3. Set number of candles to display for each timeframe
4. Choose volume scaling method based on your analysis needs
5. Enable "Fix gaps in non-trading hours" for extended hours trading (enabled by default)
### Interpretation
**Volume Spikes:**
- Sudden increase in volume height indicates institutional activity or strong conviction
- Compare volume between timeframes to identify where the real money is moving
- Look for volume spikes that appear across multiple timeframes simultaneously
**Bullish vs Bearish Volume:**
- **Green volume bars:** Price closed higher (buying pressure)
- **Red volume bars:** Price closed lower (selling pressure)
- High green volume during uptrend = confirmation of strength
- High red volume during downtrend = confirmation of weakness
- High volume opposite to trend = potential reversal warning
**Multi-Timeframe Context:**
- **5m/15m:** Scalping and day trading activity
- **1H/4H:** Swing trading and intraday institutional flows
- **Daily/Weekly:** Major position building and long-term trends
**Divergences:**
- Price making new highs but volume declining = weakening trend
- Volume increasing while price consolidates = potential breakout brewing
- Price breaks level but volume doesn't confirm = likely false breakout
### Practical Examples
**Example 1 - Institutional Confirmation:**
Price breaks above resistance. Check volume across timeframes:
- 5m shows spike = retail interest
- 15m + 1H + 4H all show spikes = institutional confirmation
- **Trade confidence: HIGH**
**Example 2 - False Breakout Detection:**
Price breaks resistance with:
- High volume on 5m only
- Normal/low volume on 1H and 4H
- **Interpretation:** Likely retail trap, institutions not participating
- **Action:** Wait for pullback or avoid
**Example 3 - Accumulation Phase:**
Price ranges sideways but:
- Daily volume gradually increasing
- Weekly volume above average
- **Interpretation:** Smart money accumulating
- **Action:** Prepare for breakout in direction of volume
**Example 4 - Volume Divergence:**
Price makes new high:
- Current high has lower volume than previous high across all timeframes
- **Interpretation:** Weakening momentum
- **Action:** Consider profit-taking or reversal trade
## Configuration Parameters
### Timeframe Settings
- **HTF 1-6:** Select timeframes (must be higher than chart timeframe)
- **Max Display:** Number of candles to show per timeframe (1-50)
- **Limit to Next HTFs:** Display only first N enabled timeframes (1-6)
### Styling
- **Bull/Bear Colors:** Separate colors for body, border, and wick
- **Padding from current candles:** Distance offset from live price action
- **Space between candles:** Gap between individual volume bars
- **Space between Higher Timeframes:** Gap between different timeframe groups
- **Candle Width:** Thickness of volume bars (1-4, multiplied by 2)
### Volume Settings
- **Volume Scale Method:** Choose 1, 2, or 3
- 1 = Auto Scale per HTF (each TF independent)
- 2 = Global Auto Scale (all TF unified)
- 3 = Manual Scale (user-defined max)
- **Auto Scale Volume:** Enable/disable automatic scaling
- **Manual Scale Max Volume:** Set maximum when using Method 3
### Label Settings
- **HTF Label:** Show/hide timeframe names with color and size options
- **Label Positions:** Display at Top, Bottom, or Both
- **Label Alignment:** Align centered or Follow Candles
- **Remaining Time:** Show countdown timer until next HTF candle
- **Interval Value:** Display day-of-week or time on each candle
### Custom Daily Candle
- **Enable Custom Daily:** Override default daily candle timing
- **Open Time Options:**
- **Midnight:** Standard 00:00 ET daily open
- **8:30 AM:** Align with economic data releases
- **9:30 AM:** Align with NYSE market open
- Useful for specific trading strategies or market alignment
### Advanced Settings
- **Fix gaps in non-trading hours:** Maintains alignment during extended hours and weekends (recommended: ON)
- Prevents visual gaps during forex weekend closures
- Ensures consistent display during crypto 24/7 trading
- Improves backtesting reliability
## Best Practices
1. **Pair with Price Action:** Use alongside HTF price candles indicator for complete picture
2. **Start Simple:** Enable 2-3 timeframes initially (e.g., 15m, 1H, 4H), add more as needed
3. **Match Settings:** Use same candle width/spacing as companion price indicator for visual alignment
4. **Scale Appropriately:**
- Use **Global scale** (Method 2) when comparing timeframes
- Use **Per-HTF scale** (Method 1) for pattern analysis within each timeframe
- Use **Manual scale** (Method 3) for consistent day-to-day comparison
5. **Watch for Volume Clusters:** High volume appearing simultaneously across multiple HTFs signals significant market events

ZS Game Changer Pump & Dump DetectorZS GAME CHANGER PUMP AND DUMP DETECTOR - TOP 2 MOMENTUM TRACKER
Created by Zakaria Safri
An intelligent indicator specifically designed to identify and highlight the two most significant pump and dump candles within your selected lookback period. Perfect for traders who want to focus on the game-changing moves that truly matter in volatile markets like cryptocurrency, stocks, and forex.
CORE FEATURES
AUTOMATIC GAME CHANGER DETECTION
The indicator continuously scans your specified lookback period and automatically identifies the top 2 strongest pump candles and top 2 strongest dump candles. These game-changing candles are highlighted with distinctive gold labels and horizontal reference lines, making them instantly visible on your chart. Unlike other indicators that show every small move, this focuses exclusively on the market-moving moments that define trends and create opportunities.
INTELLIGENT PUMP AND DUMP CLASSIFICATION
Uses advanced percentage-based calculations to classify candles as pumps when price surges significantly upward and dumps when price plunges sharply downward. The detection system accounts for candle body size, wick proportions, and volume confirmation to ensure only legitimate momentum moves trigger signals. Customizable thresholds allow adaptation to any market volatility profile from calm stocks to wild altcoins.
ADVANCED WICK EXCLUSION FILTER
Eliminates false signals caused by candles with large wicks and small bodies. This filter focuses analysis exclusively on candles with substantial body sizes that indicate genuine directional conviction rather than temporary spikes followed by rejection. The body to candle ratio is fully adjustable to match your preferred signal quality standards.
VOLUME CONFIRMATION SYSTEM
Optional volume filter ensures detected pumps and dumps are backed by real market participation. The indicator compares current volume against a moving average and only triggers signals when volume exceeds your specified multiplier threshold. This eliminates low-volume noise and focuses on moves supported by institutional or crowd participation.
RALLY SEQUENCE DETECTION
Identifies and highlights consecutive sequences of pump or dump candles with colored background overlays. Green background indicates sustained buying pressure across multiple candles while red background shows sustained selling pressure. The rally detection system includes an optional one-miss allowance that prevents the sequence from breaking due to a single neutral candle.
HORIZONTAL REFERENCE LINES
Draws dashed lines from each game changer candle extending to the current bar, providing constant visual reference to the most significant support and resistance levels created by extreme momentum. The top game changer gets a thick dashed line while the second gets a dotted line for easy differentiation. Labels on the right side display the exact percentage move.
COMPREHENSIVE STATISTICS DASHBOARD
Real-time information panel showing current market status as pumping, dumping, or neutral along with the current candle percentage change. Displays the exact percentage values for top pump number 1, top pump number 2, top dump number 1, and top dump number 2. Shows running totals of all pumps and dumps detected since chart load. Tracks consecutive candle counts during active rally sequences.
TESTING AND VERIFICATION MODE
Built-in debug mode displays percentage change directly on each qualifying pump and dump candle, allowing instant verification that calculations are accurate. Shows which filters are currently active with a simple code in the dashboard. Helps traders understand exactly why certain candles qualified as game changers.
HOW THE GAME CHANGER DETECTION WORKS
SCANNING ALGORITHM
Every bar close, the indicator scans backward through your specified lookback period examining every candle's percentage change from its previous close. For bullish moves, it identifies the two candles with the largest positive percentage change that meet your threshold requirements. For bearish moves, it identifies the two candles with the largest negative percentage change meeting threshold requirements.
RANKING SYSTEM
Candles are ranked purely by their percentage move magnitude. The number 1 game changer is always the single strongest move in the lookback period. The number 2 game changer is the second strongest move. Rankings update dynamically as new candles form and old candles exit the lookback window.
VISUAL IDENTIFICATION
Game changer number 1 for both pumps and dumps receives a large gold label reading GAME CHANGER NUMBER 1 with zero transparency for maximum visibility. Game changer number 2 receives a slightly smaller gold label with partial transparency. The candle bars themselves are colored in gold instead of the standard green or red. Horizontal lines extend from the game changer price level to current bar.
FILTER APPLICATION
Only candles that pass your configured filters qualify for game changer consideration. If wick exclusion is enabled, candles with large wicks and small bodies are ignored. If volume confirmation is enabled, only candles with above-average volume qualify. This ensures game changers represent legitimate market moves rather than aberrations.
PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS
FOR CRYPTOCURRENCY TRADERS
Crypto markets experience extreme volatility with occasional massive pump and dump candles that define entire trends. This indicator instantly identifies which candles represent true market structure shifts versus normal noise. Use the game changer levels as key support and resistance for entries, exits, and stop placement. The top pump often marks the local high to watch for breakouts while the top dump marks the local low for reversal trades.
FOR DAY TRADERS
Intraday charts contain hundreds of candles but only a few truly matter for the session outcome. Game changer detection filters out 98 percent of candles to show you the 2 percent that drove the actual price movement. Enter trades on the side of the strongest recent game changer. Use game changer levels as magnet prices where algorithmic trading often returns.
FOR SWING TRADERS
On daily and four-hour timeframes, game changers represent major institutional activity or news-driven moves. The top dump often marks capitulation selling that creates reversal opportunities. The top pump often marks FOMO buying that creates resistance levels. Swing traders can build positions knowing these levels will be defended or tested multiple times.
FOR VOLATILITY ANALYSIS
Understanding which candles created the most volatility helps assess market risk. Multiple game changers clustered together indicate unstable choppy conditions. Game changers separated by many neutral candles indicate trending stable conditions. Use this context to adjust position sizing and stop distances appropriately.
FOR SUPPORT AND RESISTANCE TRADING
Game changer candles create the strongest support and resistance levels because they represent prices where massive volume transacted in short time periods. These levels have higher probability of holding on retest compared to arbitrary moving averages or pivot points. Trade bounces off game changer levels or breakouts through them.

UNDERSTANDING GAME CHANGERS
WHAT MAKES A CANDLE A GAME CHANGER
A game changer is not just a large move but the largest move within context. In a volatile crypto market, a 5 percent pump might not rank in the top 2. In a stable stock, a 2 percent pump could be the number 1 game changer. The indicator adapts to your specific instrument and timeframe to find what truly matters in that context.
WHY FOCUS ON TOP 2 ONLY
Markets are driven by a small number of significant moves rather than the average of all moves. By focusing exclusively on the top 2 in each direction, traders can ignore noise and concentrate on the price levels that actually matter for support, resistance, and momentum. This creates clarity in decision making.
GAME CHANGERS AS MARKET STRUCTURE
The top pump often marks the recent high that bulls must break to continue uptrend. The top dump often marks the recent low that bears must break to continue downtrend. These become the key levels around which all other price action rotates. Understanding this structure is essential for profitable trading.
GAME CHANGERS AS SENTIMENT INDICATORS
Consecutive pump game changers signal strong bullish sentiment and FOMO conditions. Consecutive dump game changers signal fear and capitulation. Alternating pump and dump game changers signal indecision and range conditions. Read the pattern of game changers to gauge market psychology.
VERIFICATION AND TESTING
HOW TO VERIFY ACCURACY
Enable Show Debug Info on Chart in the Testing and Debug settings group. This displays the percentage change calculation directly on every qualifying pump and dump candle. Manually verify by calculating open minus close divided by close multiplied by 100. The debug percentage should match your manual calculation exactly.
HOW TO TEST FILTERS
Toggle wick exclusion filter on and off while watching how many candles qualify. With filter on, candles with long wicks and small bodies should disappear. Toggle volume confirmation on and off to see how low-volume candles get excluded. Adjust the thresholds and watch the real-time impact on signal count.
HOW TO VERIFY GAME CHANGERS
Look at your chart and visually identify which candle had the biggest green body in the lookback period. The game changer number 1 pump label should be on that exact candle. Repeat for the biggest red candle to verify game changer number 1 dump. The rankings should match your visual assessment.
LOOKBACK PERIOD EFFECTS
Decrease the lookback period to 20 bars and watch game changers update to only recent moves. Increase to 500 bars and watch game changers potentially change to older historic moves. The optimal lookback balances recency with significance. Too short misses important levels, too long includes irrelevant history.
DASHBOARD INFORMATION GUIDE
STATUS ROW
Shows PUMPING when current candle qualifies as a pump, DUMPING when current candle qualifies as a dump, or NEUTRAL when current candle does not meet threshold requirements. This updates in real-time on every bar close.
CURRENT CHANGE ROW
Displays the percentage change of the current candle from its previous close. Positive percentages indicate bullish candle, negative indicate bearish candle. This number may or may not meet your threshold to qualify as pump or dump.
TOP PUMP NUMBER 1
The highest positive percentage change found in your lookback period. This candle is marked with the large gold GAME CHANGER NUMBER 1 label below it. Shows N/A if no pumps exist in the lookback period.
TOP PUMP NUMBER 2
The second highest positive percentage change found in your lookback period. Marked with smaller gold GAME CHANGER NUMBER 2 label. Shows N/A if only one or zero pumps exist.
TOP DUMP NUMBER 1
The highest negative percentage change magnitude found in your lookback period. This candle is marked with the large gold GAME CHANGER NUMBER 1 label above it. Shows N/A if no dumps exist.
TOP DUMP NUMBER 2
The second highest negative percentage change magnitude found in your lookback period. Marked with smaller gold GAME CHANGER NUMBER 2 label. Shows N/A if only one or zero dumps exist.
TOTAL PUMPS
Running count of all pump candles detected since you loaded the indicator on this chart. This number continuously increases as new qualifying pumps form. Resets when you reload the chart.
TOTAL DUMPS
Running count of all dump candles detected since chart load. Increases as new qualifying dumps form and resets on chart reload.
CONSECUTIVE

Version 1.1 | Created by Zakaria Safri | Pine Script Version 5 | PineCoders Compliant
Tristan's Devil Mark (Short / Long, with W%R)The Devil’s Mark indicator is a visual tool designed to help traders identify potential short and long opportunities based on candle structure and market momentum. It combines price action analysis with the Williams %R (W%R) oscillator to highlight candles with high potential for reversal or continuation.
Can be used on any timeline, from scalping day trades to swing trades on daily and higher timelines. Know that the higher the timeline the less likely the indicator will show. (Asia and London sessions tend to show many indicators. I find this more useful for NY session.)
How the script works
Candle Structure Conditions
Short (Sell) Wedge: Plotted above green candles that have no bottom wick, indicating that inside that candle there was strong upward momentum without downside hesitation .
Long (Buy) Wedge: Plotted below red candles that have no top wick, indicating that inside that candle there was strong downward momentum without upside hesitation .
These candles are visually emphasized as wedges to mark potential turning points.
Williams %R Filter
The indicator uses Williams %R to measure overbought and oversold conditions:
Proximity to 0 (nearZeroThresh): Determines how close W%R must be to 0 (overbought) to trigger a Sell Wedge. This acts as a “Sell sensitivity” filter.
Proximity to -100 (nearHundredThresh): Determines how close W%R must be to -100 (oversold) to trigger a Buy Wedge. This acts as a “Buy sensitivity” filter.
When the candle meets both the candle structure and the W%R condition, the wedge is plotted in purple (“Within W%R Range”).
When the "ignore W%R filter" toggle is on, all eligible candles are plotted regardless of W%R. Wedges that normally would not meet W%R criteria are plotted in light purple (“Outside W%R Range”) to distinguish them. #YOLO (🚫 I recommend leaving "Ignore W%R Filter" OFF)
Settings Explained
Williams %R Length: The number of bars used to calculate the W%R oscillator. Shorter lengths make it more sensitive; longer lengths smooth the readings.
Proximity to 0 / 100: Controls how “strict” the indicator is in requiring overbought or oversold W%R conditions to trigger. Lower values mean closer to extreme zones, higher values are more permissive.
Ignore W%R Toggle: Option to show Devil’s Marks on every eligible candle regardless of W%R. Useful for visualizing purely price-action-based signals.
What the trader sees
Purple wedges: Candles meeting both candle structure and W%R conditions.
Light purple wedges: Candles meeting candle structure but ignored W%R (when toggle is on). #YOLO (🚫 I recommend leaving "Ignore W%R Filter" OFF)
Short opportunities are wedges above bars (green candles with no bottom wick).
Long opportunities are wedges below bars (red candles with no top wick).
Trading Insight
The Devil’s Mark is a momentum and reversal alert tool:
Look for purple downward-pointing wedges when W%R is near overbought. This is a potential shorting opportunity. Buying at the close of that candle may improve your short trades.
Look for purple upward-pointing wedges when W%R is near oversold. This is a potential
long opportunity. Buying at the close of that candle may improve your long trades.
Light purple wedges show the same price-action cues without W%R confirmation—useful for aggressive traders who want every potential setup. #YOLO #YMMV #noFullPort
Settings / Security
The “Output values” checkbox appears for each plotted series (like a plot or plotshape) and controls whether the series will also be exposed numerically in the Data Window or used by other indicators/scripts.
Here’s what it means in practice:
1. Checked (true)
The series values (like candle high, low, or any computed value) are exported to the Data Window and can be read by other scripts using request.security() or ta functions.
Example: You can see the exact numerical value of each plotted point in the Data Window when you hover over the chart.
Useful if you want to backtest or reference these plotted values programmatically.
2. Unchecked (false)
The series is plotted visually only.
The numeric values are hidden from the Data Window and cannot be accessed by other scripts.
Makes the chart cleaner if you don’t need the numeric outputs.

HA Reversal + Doji 🔥 Heikin Ashi Reversal + Stochastic Filter (Precision Entry System)
This indicator is designed to detect high–quality reversal entries using a Heikin Ashi candle pattern (Doji + 2 no–wick confirmation) combined with a strict Stochastic filter that uses memory of extreme touches to control trade direction.
✅ Entry Logic
🔹 Bullish BUY Signal
A BUY is triggered only when:
A valid reversal pattern is detected:
Doji candle (pivot) 3 bars back
Followed by 2 bullish candles with no lower wicks
Stochastic touched Oversold (≤ 20) at least once before the signal
Pattern + Stoch alignment = BUY
🔹 Bearish SELL Signal
A SELL is triggered only when:
Valid bearish reversal pattern:
Doji candle (pivot) 3 bars back
Followed by 2 bearish candles with no upper wicks
Stochastic touched Overbought (≥ 80) before the signal
Pattern + Stoch alignment = SELL
🧠 Stochastic “Memory” Filter
This is not a basic OB/OS filter — it uses event memory:
If Stochastic touches Oversold, the system becomes ready for BUY
If it touches Overbought, it becomes ready for SELL
Both directions can be armed at once
Once a BUY or SELL actually triggers, memory resets to neutral
Prevents “signal spam” during chop and keeps direction meaningful
🎯 Why This Works
✔ Filters out random countertrend noise
✔ Only trades after momentum exhaustion
✔ Uses strict Heikin Ashi reversal structure
✔ Works great across crypto, forex, indices, metals
✔ Designed for precision entries and swing continuation traps
⚙️ Customizable Options
Doji detection mode (body % / ticks / hybrid)
Wick tolerance
Heikin Ashi source (chart or calculated)
Stochastic source (raw or smoothed)
Option to avoid duplicate same-direction signals
Visual aids: pattern markers, blocked signals, doji debugging
📌 Best Use Cases
Reversal scalping on 5m/15m
Swing entries on 1H/4H
Trend exhaustion confirmation
Smart Money Concepts entry refinement
Entry timing after liquidity sweeps
🚨 Important
This is not a repainting system. Signals are generated at bar close only. Always combine with proper risk management and market context.

• Kalman-filtered HL2 price instead of raw prices
• Filtered ATR for volatility measurement
• Adaptive trailing bands that follow price
• Trend detection with minimal lag
3. VWMA DYNAMIC ZONES
Volume-Weighted Moving Average bands that:
• Calculate from highest/lowest prices over lookback period
• Adapt to current volatility and price range
• Identify true overbought/oversold conditions
• Provide logical take-profit targets
4. SIGNAL GENERATION
• BUY: When price breaks above Supertrend (trend flips bullish)
• SELL: When price breaks below Supertrend (trend flips bearish)
• REVERSAL: When price rejects from OB/OS zones
• TAKE PROFIT: When price reaches target zones or forms HH/LL

G_GMMA• Comprehensive GMMA Visualization: It plots six fast EMAs and six slow EMAs, clearly distinguishing short term and long term trends. The indicator fills the space between the fastest and slowest EMAs in each group, turning the moving averages into easily identifiable ribbons rather than a mass of overlapping lines.
• Customizable Appearance: Users can adjust the colors of the fast and slow EMA lines, the fill colors of each ribbon, and the overall line thickness. This makes it easy to tailor the chart to personal preferences or trading templates.
• Dynamic Background Shading: The script can shade the chart’s background depending on whether the fast ribbon is above or below the slow ribbon, giving a quick visual cue for trend direction (uptrend vs. downtrend).
• Touch Alert System: Up to three different EMA lengths can be monitored for “touch” events. When price touches a selected EMA (e.g., 20 , 50 or 200 period EMA), the indicator triggers an alert condition and plots a small circle on the chart at the contact point. This helps traders catch precise entry or exit signals without staring at the screen.
• Flexible Input: Both fast and slow EMA lengths, colors, and alert parameters are user adjustable from the indicator’s settings. This allows the same script to be used on different instruments (e.g., Gold, forex pairs) and time frames by simply changing the period values.
• Trend Sensitive Support/Resistance: By treating the slow EMA ribbon as a dynamic support/resistance zone, the indicator helps traders identify where price is likely to stall or reverse. Combining this with the touch alerts makes it well suited for scalping or intraday trades.
MACD-V Adaptive FluxProMACD-V Adaptive FluxPro
Type: Multi-Factor Volatility-Normalized Momentum & Regime Framework
Overlay: ✅ Yes (on price chart)
Purpose: Detect high-probability trend continuation or reversal zones through volatility-adjusted momentum, VWAP structure, and adaptive filters.
🧩 Concept Overview
MACD-V Adaptive FluxPro is a next-generation, multi-factor analytical framework that merges the principles of Linda Raschke’s 3-10-16 MACD with modern volatility normalization and adaptive filtering.
Instead of generating raw buy/sell signals, it builds a probability-driven environment model — showing when price action, volatility, and structure align for high-confidence trades.
The “V” in MACD-V stands for Volatility Normalization: every MACD component is divided by ATR to stabilize amplitude across fast or slow markets.
This enables the indicator to remain consistent across timeframes, instruments, and volatility regimes.
⚙️ Core Components
1️⃣ Volatility-Normalized MACD (MACD-V)
A traditional MACD built on Linda Raschke’s 3-10-16 structure, but adjusted by ATR to create a volatility-invariant momentum profile.
You can toggle to alternative presets (Scalp / Swing / Trend) for faster or slower environments.
2️⃣ Dynamic Regime Detection
A slope-based classifier that identifies whether the market is:
Trend Up 🟢
Trend Down 🔴
Compression / Squeeze 🟧
Transition / Neutral ⚫
The background color updates dynamically as momentum, volatility, and slope shift between these states.
3️⃣ VWAP Structure Bands
Adaptive VWAP with inner and outer ATR-scaled envelopes.
These act as short-term mean-reversion and breakout zones.
The indicator can optionally gate entries to occur only within defined VWAP proximity.
4️⃣ EMAs for Micro-Trend Confirmation
Includes 9-EMA and 21-EMA, color-configurable for visual crossovers and short-term momentum bias.
5️⃣ Multi-Timeframe Confirmation Tiles
Top-center dashboard tiles display directional bias from higher timeframes (e.g., 15m / 1h / 4h).
When all align, it confirms multi-frame trend coherence.
6️⃣ Adaptive Probability Engine
All subsystems — MACD-V, slope, compression, volume z-score, and VWAP distance — feed into a logistic scoring model that outputs a real-time AOI Probability (0-100%).
When conditions align, probabilities rise above 60% (long bias) or drop below 40% (short bias).
These are your high-probability “Areas of Interest.”
7️⃣ Dashboard HUD

Experimental Supertrend [CHE]Experimental Supertrend — Combines EMA crossovers for trend regime detection with an adaptive ATR-based hull that selects the narrowest band to contain recent highs and lows, minimizing false breaks in varying volatility.
Summary
This indicator overlays a dynamic supertrend boundary around a midline derived from dual EMAs, using EMA crossovers to switch between bullish and bearish regimes. The hull adapts by evaluating multiple ATR periods and selecting the tightest one that fully encloses price action over a specified window, which helps in creating more stable trend lines that hug price without excessive gaps or breaches. Fills between the midline and hull provide visual cues for trend strength, darkening temporarily after regime changes to highlight transitions. Alerts trigger on crossovers, and markers label entry points, making it suitable for trend-following setups where standard supertrends might whipsaw. Overall, it offers robustness through auto-adjustment, reducing sensitivity to noise while maintaining responsiveness to genuine shifts.
Motivation: Why this design?
Standard supertrend indicators often flip prematurely in choppy markets due to fixed multipliers that do not account for localized volatility patterns, leading to frequent false signals and eroded confidence in trends. This design addresses that by incorporating an EMA-based regime filter for directional bias and an auto-adaptive hull that dynamically tunes the band width based on recent price containment needs. By prioritizing the narrowest effective enclosure, it avoids over-wide bands in calm periods that cause lag or under-wide ones in volatility spikes that invite breaks, providing a more consistent trailing reference without manual tweaking.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
- Reference baseline: Diverges from the classic ATR-multiplier supertrend, which uses a single fixed period and constant factor applied to close or high/low deviations.
- Architecture differences:
- Auto-selection from candidate ATR lengths to find the optimal period for current conditions.
- Dynamic multiplier clamped between floor and cap values, adjusted by padding to ensure reliable containment.
- Regime-gated rendering, where hull position flips based on EMA relative positioning.
- Post-transition visual fading to emphasize change points without altering core logic.
- Practical effect: Charts show tighter, more reactive bands that rarely breach during trends, reducing visual clutter from flips; the adaptive nature means less intervention across assets, as the hull self-adjusts to volatility clusters rather than applying a one-size-fits-all scale.
How it works (technical)
The indicator first computes two EMAs from close prices using lengths derived from a preset pair or manual inputs, establishing a midline as their average. This midline serves as the central reference for the hull. True range values are then smoothed into multiple ATR candidates using exponential weighting over the specified lengths. For each candidate, deviations of recent highs and lows from the midline are ratioed against the ATR to determine a required multiplier that would enclose all extremes in the containment window—the highest ratio plus padding sets the base, clamped to user-defined bounds. Among valid candidates (those with sufficient history), the one yielding the narrowest overall band width is selected. The hull boundaries are then offset from the midline by this multiplier times the chosen ATR, and further smoothed with a fixed EMA to reduce jitter. Regime direction from EMA comparison gates which boundary acts as support or resistance, with initialization seeding arrays on the first bar to handle state persistence. No higher timeframe data is used, so all logic runs on the chart's native bars without lookahead.
Parameter Guide
EMA Pair — Selects preset lengths for fast and slow EMAs, influencing regime sensitivity and midline stability. Default: "21/55". Trade-offs/Tips: Faster pairs like "9/21" increase cross frequency for scalping but raise false signals; slower like "50/200" smooths for swings, potentially missing early turns. Use Manual for fine control.
Manual Fast — Sets fast EMA length when Manual mode is active; shorter values make regime switches quicker. Default: 21. Trade-offs/Tips: Lower than 10 risks over-reactivity; pair with slow at least double for clear separation.
Manual Slow — Sets slow EMA length when Manual mode is active; longer values anchor the midline more firmly. Default: 55. Trade-offs/Tips: Above 100 adds lag in trends; balance with fast to avoid perpetual neutrality.
ATR Lengths (comma-separated) — Defines candidate periods for ATR smoothing; more options allow finer auto-selection. Default: "7,10,14,21,28,35". Trade-offs/Tips: Fewer candidates speed computation but may miss optimal fits; keep under 10 for efficiency.
Containment Window — Number of recent bars the hull must fully enclose highs/lows of; larger windows favor stability. Default: 50. Trade-offs/Tips: Shorter (under 20) adapts faster to breaks but increases breach risk; longer smooths but delays response.
Min Multiplier Floor — Lowest allowed multiplier for hull width; prevents overly tight bands in low volatility. Default: 0.5. Trade-offs/Tips: Raise to 0.75 for conservative enclosures; too low allows pinches that flip easily.
Max Multiplier Cap — Highest allowed multiplier; caps expansion in spikes to avoid wide, lagging bands. Default: 1.0. Trade-offs/Tips: Lower to 0.75 tightens overall; higher permits more room but risks detachment from price.
Padding (+) — Adds buffer to the auto-multiplier for safer containment without exact touches. Default: 0.05. Trade-offs/Tips: Increase to 0.10 in gappy markets; minimal values hug closer but may still breach on outliers.
Fill Between (Mid ↔ Supertrend) — Toggles shaded area between midline and active hull for trend visualization. Default: true. Trade-offs/Tips: Disable for cleaner charts; pairs well with transparency tweaks.
Base Fill Transparency (0..100) — Sets default opacity of fills; higher values make them subtler. Default: 80. Trade-offs/Tips: Under 50 overwhelms price action; adjust with darken boost for emphasis.
Darken on Trend Change — Enables temporary opacity increase after regime shifts to spotlight transitions. Default: true. Trade-offs/Tips: Off for steady visuals; on aids spotting reversals in real-time.
Darken Fade Bars — Duration in bars for the darken effect to ramp back to base; longer prolongs highlight. Default: 8. Trade-offs/Tips: Shorter (4-6) for fast-paced charts; longer holds attention on changes.
Darken Boost at Change (Δ transp) — Intensity of opacity reduction at crossover; higher values make shifts more prominent. Default: 50. Trade-offs/Tips: Cap at 70 to avoid blackout; tune down if fades obscure details.
Show Supertrend Line — Displays the active hull boundary as a line. Default: true. Trade-offs/Tips: Hide for fill-only views; linewidth fixed at 3 for visibility.
Show EMA Cross Markers — Places circles and labels at crossover points for entry cues. Default: true. Trade-offs/Tips: Disable in clutter; labels show "Buy"/"Sell" at absolute positions.
Alert: EMA Cross Up (Long) — Triggers notification on bullish crossover. Default: true. Trade-offs/Tips: Pair with filters; once-per-bar frequency.
Alert: EMA Cross Down (Short) — Triggers notification on bearish crossover. Default: true. Trade-offs/Tips: Use for exits; ensure broker integration.
Show Debug — Reveals internal diagnostics like selected ATR details (if implemented). Default: false. Trade-offs/Tips: Enable for troubleshooting selections; minimal overhead.
Reading & Interpretation
Bullish regime shows a green line below price as support, with upward fill from midline; bearish uses red line above as resistance, downward fill. Crossovers flip the active boundary, marked by tiny green/red circles and "Buy"/"Sell" labels at the hull level. Fills start at base transparency but darken sharply at changes, fading over the specified bars to signal fresh momentum. If the hull rarely breaches during trends, containment is effective; frequent touches without flips indicate tight adaptation. Debug mode (when enabled) overlays text or plots for selected length and multiplier, helping verify auto-choices.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
- Trend following: Enter long on green "Buy" label above prior low structure; confirm with higher high. Trail stops along the green hull line, tightening as fills stabilize post-fade.
- Exits/Stops: Conservative exit on opposite crossover or hull breach; aggressive hold until fade completes if volume supports. Use darken boost as a volatility cue—high delta suggests waiting for confirmation.
- Multi-asset/Multi-TF: Defaults suit forex/stocks on 15m-4h; for crypto, widen containment to 75 for gaps. Layer on volume oscillator for cross filters; avoid on low-liquidity assets where ATR candidates skew.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Closed-bar logic ensures signals confirm at bar end, with live bars updating hull adaptively but no repaints since no future data or security calls are used. Arrays persist ATR states across bars, initialized once with candidates parsed from string. Small fixed loops (over 6 lengths max, inner up to 50) run per bar, capped by max_bars_back=500 for history needs. Resources stay low with 500 labels/lines limits, but dense charts may hit on markers. Known limits include initial lag until containment history builds (50+ bars), potential wide bands on gaps, and suboptimal selections if candidates omit ideal lengths.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Start with "21/55" pair, 50-window, 0.5-1.0 multipliers, and 80% transparency for balanced responsiveness on daily charts. For too many flips, raise min floor to 0.75 or add lengths like "42"; for sluggishness, shorten window to 30 or pick faster pair. In high-vol environments, boost padding to 0.10; for smoother visuals, extend fade bars to 12.

Previous Day & Week High/Low LevelsPrevious Day & Week High/Low Levels is a precision tool designed to help traders easily identify the most relevant price levels that often act as strong support or resistance areas in the market. It automatically plots the previous day’s and week’s highs and lows, as well as the current day’s developing internal high and low. These levels are crucial reference points for intraday, swing, and even position traders who rely on price action and liquidity behavior.
Key Features
Previous Day High/Low:
The indicator automatically draws horizontal lines marking the highest and lowest prices from the previous trading day.
These levels are widely recognized as potential zones where the market may react again — either rejecting or breaking through them.
Previous Week High/Low:
The script also tracks and displays the high and low from the last completed trading week.
Weekly levels tend to represent stronger liquidity pools and broader institutional zones, which makes them especially important when aligning higher timeframe context with lower timeframe entries.
Internal Daily High/Low (Real-Time Tracking):
While the day progresses, the indicator dynamically updates the current day’s internal high and low.
This allows traders to visualize developing market structure, identify intraday ranges, and anticipate potential breakouts or liquidity sweeps.
Multi-Timeframe Consistency:
All levels — daily and weekly — remain visible across any chart timeframe, from 1 minute to 1 day or higher.
This ensures traders can maintain perspective and avoid losing track of key zones when switching views.
Customizable Visuals:
The colors, line thickness, and label visibility can be easily adjusted to match personal charting preferences.
This makes the indicator adaptable to any trading style or layout, whether minimalistic or detailed.
How to Use
Identify Key Reaction Zones:
Observe how price interacts with the previous day and week levels. Rejections, consolidations, or clean breakouts around these lines often signal strong liquidity areas or potential directional moves.
Combine with Market Structure or Liquidity Concepts:
The indicator works perfectly with supply and demand analysis, liquidity sweeps, order block strategies, or simply classic support/resistance techniques.
Scalping and Intraday Trading:
On lower timeframes (1m–15m), the daily levels help identify intraday turning points.
On higher timeframes (1h–4h or daily), the weekly levels provide broader context and directional bias.
Risk Management and Planning:
Using these levels as reference points allows for more precise stop placement, target setting, and overall trade management.
Why This Indicator Helps
Markets often react strongly around previous highs and lows because these zones contain trapped liquidity, pending orders, or institutional decision points.
By having these areas automatically mapped out, traders gain a clear and objective view of where price is likely to respond — without needing to manually draw lines every day or week.
Whether you’re a beginner still learning about price structure, or an advanced trader refining entries within liquidity zones, this tool simplifies the process and keeps your charts clean, consistent, and data-driven.
