Adaptive Freedom Machine w/labelsAdaptive Freedom Machine w/ Labels
Overview
The Adaptive Freedom Machine w/ Labels is a versatile Pine Script indicator designed to assist traders in identifying buy and sell opportunities across various market conditions (trending, ranging, or volatile). It combines Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), Relative Strength Index (RSI), Average True Range (ATR), and customizable time filters to generate actionable signals. The indicator overlays on the price chart, displaying EMAs, a dynamic cloud, scaled RSI levels, buy/sell signals, and market condition labels, making it suitable for swing trading, day trading, or scalping.
What It Does
This indicator generates buy and sell signals based on the interaction of two EMAs, filtered by RSI thresholds, ATR-based volatility, and user-defined time windows. It adapts to the selected market condition by adjusting EMA lengths, RSI thresholds, and trading hours. A dynamic cloud highlights trend direction or neutral zones, and candlestick bodies are colored in neutral conditions for clarity. A table displays real-time trend and volatility status.
How It Works
The indicator uses the following components:
EMAs: Two EMAs (short and long) are calculated on a user-selected timeframe (1, 5, 15, 30, or 60 minutes). Their crossover or crossunder generates potential buy/sell signals, with lengths adjusted based on the market condition (e.g., longer EMAs for trending markets, shorter for ranging).
Dynamic Cloud: The area between the EMAs forms a cloud, colored green for uptrends, red for downtrends, or a user-defined color (default yellow) for neutral zones (when EMAs are close, determined by an ATR-based threshold). Users can widen the cloud for visibility.
RSI Filter: RSI is scaled to price levels and plotted on the chart (optional). Signals are filtered to ensure RSI is within user-defined buy/sell thresholds and not in overbought/oversold zones, with thresholds tailored to the market condition.
ATR Volatility Filter: An optional filter ensures signals occur during sufficient volatility (ATR(14) > SMA(ATR, 20)).
Time Filter: Signals are restricted to a user-defined or market-specific time window (e.g., 10:00–15:00 UTC for volatile markets), with an option for custom hours.
Visual Aids: Buy/sell signals appear as green triangles (buy) or red triangles (sell). Candlesticks in neutral zones are colored (default yellow). A table in the top-right corner shows the current trend (Uptrend, Downtrend, Neutral) and volatility (High or Low).
The indicator ensures compatibility with standard chart types (e.g., candlestick charts) to produce realistic signals, avoiding non-standard types like Heikin Ashi or Renko.
How to Use It
Add to Chart: Apply the indicator to a candlestick or bar chart on TradingView.
Configure Settings:
Timeframe: Choose a timeframe (1, 5, 15, 30, or 60 minutes) to align with your trading style.
Market Condition: Select one market condition (Trending, Ranging, or Volatile). Volatile is the default if none is selected. Only one condition can be active.
Filters:
Enable/disable the ATR volatility filter to trade only in high-volatility periods.
Enable the time filter and choose default hours (specific to the market condition) or set custom UTC hours.
Cloud Settings: Adjust the cloud width, neutral zone threshold, and color. Enable/disable the neutral cloud.
RSI Display: Toggle the scaled RSI and its thresholds on the chart.
Interpret Signals:
Buy Signal: A green triangle below the bar indicates a potential long entry (EMA crossover, RSI above buy threshold, within time window, and passing volatility filter).
Sell Signal: A red triangle above the bar indicates a potential short entry (EMA crossunder, RSI below sell threshold, within time window, and passing volatility filter).
Neutral Zone: Yellow candlesticks and cloud (if enabled) suggest a lack of clear trend; avoid trading or use for range-bound strategies.
Monitor the Table: Check the top-right table for real-time trend (Uptrend, Downtrend, Neutral) and volatility (High or Low) to confirm market context.
Unique Features
Adaptive Parameters: Automatically adjusts EMA lengths, RSI thresholds, and trading hours based on the selected market condition, reducing manual tweaking.
Neutral Zone Detection: Uses an ATR-based threshold to identify low-trend periods, helping traders avoid choppy markets.
Scaled RSI Visualization: Plots RSI and thresholds directly on the price chart, making it easier to assess momentum relative to price action.
Flexible Time Filtering: Supports both default and custom UTC-based trading windows, ideal for day traders targeting specific sessions.
Dynamic Cloud: Enhances trend visualization with customizable width and neutral zone coloring, improving readability.
Notes
Use on standard candlestick or bar charts to ensure realistic signals.
Test the indicator on a demo account to understand its behavior in your chosen market and timeframe.
Adjust settings to match your trading strategy, but avoid over-optimizing for past data.
The indicator is not a standalone system; combine it with other analysis (e.g., support/resistance, news events) for better results.
Limitations
Signals may lag in fast-moving markets due to EMA-based calculations.
Neutral zone detection may vary in extremely volatile or illiquid markets.
Time filters are UTC-based; ensure your platform’s timezone settings align.
This indicator is designed for traders seeking a customizable, trend-following tool that adapts to different market environments while providing clear visual cues and robust filtering.

DAFE Visual Mastery: Pulsing Bollinger Band fills, dynamic SL/TP lines, and dual dashboards (metrics + position) make signals crystal-clear and charts a work of art.
Original Craftsmanship: A DAFE creation, built with community passion, not a rehashed clone of generic code.
Traders need this because it’s a complete, adaptive system that blends quant smarts, user-friendly design, and DAFE flair. It’s your edge to trade with confidence, cut through market noise, and leave the copycats in the dust.
Strategy Components
1. Market Regime Detection
The strategy’s brain is its ability to classify market conditions into five regimes, ensuring signals match the environment.
How It Works:
Trending (Regime 1): ADX > 20, fast/slow EMA spread > 0.3x ATR, HTF RSI > 50 or MACD bullish (htf_trend_bull/bear).
Range (Regime 2): ADX < 25, price range < 3% of close, no HTF trend.
Volatile (Regime 3): BB width > 1.5x avg, ATR > 1.2x avg, HTF RSI overbought/oversold.
Quiet (Regime 4): BB width < 0.8x avg, ATR < 0.9x avg.
Other (Regime 5): Default for unclear conditions.
Indicators: ADX (14), BB width (20), ATR (14, 50-bar SMA), HTF RSI (14, daily default), HTF MACD (12,26,9).
Why It’s Brilliant:
Regime detection adapts signals to market context, boosting win rates in trending or volatile conditions.
HTF RSI/MACD add a big-picture filter, rare in basic scripts.
Visualized via gradient background (green for Trending, orange for Range, red for Volatile, gray for Quiet, navy for Other).
2. Multi-Factor Signal Scoring
Entries are driven by a weighted scoring system that combines candlestick patterns, trend, momentum, and volume for robust signals.
Candlestick Patterns:
Bullish: Engulfing (0.5), hammer (0.4 in Range, 0.2 else), morning star (0.2), piercing (0.2), double bottom (0.3 in Volatile, 0.15 else). Must be near support (low ≤ 1.01x 20-bar low) with volume spike (>1.5x 20-bar avg).
Bearish: Engulfing (0.5), shooting star (0.4 in Range, 0.2 else), evening star (0.2), dark cloud (0.2), double top (0.3 in Volatile, 0.15 else). Must be near resistance (high ≥ 0.99x 20-bar high) with volume spike.
Logic: Patterns are weighted higher in specific regimes (e.g., hammer in Range, double bottom in Volatile).
Additional Factors:
Trend: Fast EMA (20) > slow EMA (50) + 0.5x ATR (trend_bull, +0.2); opposite for trend_bear.
RSI: RSI (14) < 30 (rsi_bull, +0.15); > 70 (rsi_bear, +0.15).
MACD: MACD line > signal (12,26,9, macd_bull, +0.15); opposite for macd_bear.
Volume: ATR > 1.2x 50-bar avg (vol_expansion, +0.1).
HTF Confirmation: HTF RSI < 70 and MACD bullish (htf_bull_confirm, +0.2); RSI > 30 and MACD bearish (htf_bear_confirm, +0.2).
Scoring:
bull_score = sum of bullish factors; bear_score = sum of bearish. Entry requires score ≥ 1.0.
Example: Bullish engulfing (0.5) + trend_bull (0.2) + rsi_bull (0.15) + htf_bull_confirm (0.2) = 1.05, triggers long.
Why It’s Brilliant:
Multi-factor scoring ensures signals are confirmed by multiple market dynamics, reducing false positives.
Regime-specific weights make patterns more relevant (e.g., hammers shine in Range markets).
HTF confirmation aligns with the big picture, a quant edge over simplistic scripts.
3. Futures-Tuned Risk Management
The risk system is built for futures, calculating position sizes based on $ risk and offering flexible stops/TPs.
Position Sizing:
Logic: Risk per trade (default: $300) ÷ (stop distance in points * point value) = contracts, capped at max_contracts (default: 5). Point value = tick value (e.g., $12.5 for ES) * ticks per point (4) * contract multiplier (1 for ES, 0.1 for MES).
Example: $300 risk, 8-point stop, ES ($50/point) → 0.75 contracts, rounded to 1.
Impact: Precise sizing prevents over-leverage, critical for micro contracts like MES.
Stops and Take-Profits:
Fixed: Default stop = 8 points, TP = 16 points (2:1 reward/risk).
ATR-Based: Stop = 1.5x ATR (default), TP = 3x ATR, enabled via use_atr_for_stops.
Logic: Stops set at swing low/high ± stop distance; TPs at 2x stop distance from entry.
Impact: ATR stops adapt to volatility, while fixed stops suit stable markets.
Trailing Stops:
Logic: Activates at 50% of TP distance. Trails at close ± 1.5x ATR (atr_multiplier). Longs: max(trail_stop_long, close - ATR * 1.5); shorts: min(trail_stop_short, close + ATR * 1.5).
Impact: Locks in profits during trends, a game-changer in volatile sessions.
Circuit Breaker:
Logic: Pauses trading if daily drawdown > 5% (daily_drawdown = (max_equity - equity) / max_equity).
Impact: Protects capital during black swan events (e.g., April 27, 2025 ES slippage).
Why It’s Brilliant:
Futures-specific inputs (tick value, multiplier) make it plug-and-play for ES/MES.
Trailing stops and circuit breaker add pro-level safety, rare in off-the-shelf scripts.
Flexible stops (ATR or fixed) suit different trading styles.
4. Trade Entry and Exit Logic
Entries and exits are precise, driven by bull_score/bear_score and protected by drawdown checks.
Entry Conditions:
Long: bull_score ≥ 1.0, no position (position_size <= 0), drawdown < 5% (not pause_trading). Calculates contracts, sets stop at swing low - stop points, TP at 2x stop distance.
Short: bear_score ≥ 1.0, position_size >= 0, drawdown < 5%. Stop at swing high + stop points, TP at 2x stop distance.
Logic: Tracks entry_regime for PNL arrays. Closes opposite positions before entering.
Exit Conditions:
Stop-Loss/Take-Profit: Hits stop or TP (strategy.exit).
Trailing Stop: Activates at 50% TP, trails by ATR * 1.5.
Emergency Exit: Closes if price breaches stop (close < long_stop_price or close > short_stop_price).
Reset: Clears stop/TP prices when flat (position_size = 0).
Why It’s Brilliant:
Score-based entries ensure multi-factor confirmation, filtering out weak signals.
Trailing stops maximize profits in trends, unlike static exits in basic scripts.
Emergency exits add an extra safety layer, critical for futures volatility.
5. DAFE Visuals
The visuals are pure DAFE magic, blending function with cyberpunk flair to make signals intuitive and charts stunning.
Shimmering Bollinger Band Fill:
Display: BB basis (20, white), upper/lower (green/red, 45% transparent). Fill pulses (30–50 alpha) by regime, with glow (60–95 alpha) near bands (close ≥ 0.995x upper or ≤ 1.005x lower).

1. Divergence Detection (Core Signal Logic)
The strategy’s core is its ability to detect bullish and bearish divergences between price and On-Balance Volume (OBV), pinpointing reversals with surgical accuracy.
How It Works:
Price Slope: Uses linear regression over a lookback (default: 9 bars) to measure price momentum (priceSlope).
OBV Slope: OBV tracks volume flow (+volume if price rises, -volume if falls), with its slope calculated similarly (obvSlope).
Bullish Divergence: Price slope negative (falling), OBV slope positive (rising), and price above 50-bar SMA (trend_ma).
Bearish Divergence: Price slope positive (rising), OBV slope negative (falling), and price below 50-bar SMA.
Smoothing: Requires two consecutive divergence bars (bullDiv2, bearDiv2) to confirm signals, reducing false positives.
Strength: Divergence intensity (divStrength = |priceSlope * obvSlope| * sensitivity) is normalized (0–1, divStrengthNorm) for visuals.
Why It’s Brilliant:
- Divergences catch hidden momentum shifts, often exploited by institutions, giving you an edge on reversals.
- The 50-bar SMA filter aligns signals with the broader trend, avoiding choppy markets.
- Adjustable lookback (min: 3) and sensitivity (default: 1.0) let you tune for different instruments or timeframes.
2. Filters for Precision
Four advanced filters ensure signals are high-probability and market-aligned, cutting through the noise of volatile futures.
Z-Score Filter:
Logic: Calculates z-score ((close - SMA) / stdev) over a lookback (default: 50 bars). Blocks entries if |z-score| > threshold (default: 1.5) unless disabled (useZFilter = false).
Impact: Avoids trades during extreme price moves (e.g., blow-off tops), keeping you in statistically safe zones.
ATR Percentile Volatility Filter:
Logic: Tracks 14-bar ATR in a 100-bar window (default). Requires current ATR > 80th percentile (percATR) to trade (tradeOk).
Impact: Ensures sufficient volatility for meaningful moves, filtering out low-volume chop.
Multi-Timeframe (HTF) Trend Filter:
Logic: Uses a 50-bar SMA on a higher timeframe (default: 60min). Longs require price > HTF MA (bullTrendOK), shorts < HTF MA (bearTrendOK).
Impact: Aligns trades with the bigger trend, reducing counter-trend losses.
US Session Filter:
Logic: Restricts trading to 9:30am–4:00pm ET (default: enabled, useSession = true) using America/New_York timezone.
Impact: Focuses on high-liquidity hours, avoiding overnight spreads and erratic moves.
Evolution:
- These filters create a robust signal pipeline, ensuring trades are timed for optimal conditions.
- Customizable inputs (e.g., zThreshold, atrPercentile) let traders adapt to their style without compromising quality.
3. Risk Management
The strategy’s risk controls are a masterclass in balancing aggression and safety, protecting capital in volatile markets.
Daily Loss Kill Switch:
Logic: Tracks daily loss (dayStartEquity - strategy.equity). Halts trading if loss ≥ $300 (default) and enabled (killSwitch = true, killSwitchActive).
Impact: Caps daily downside, crucial during events like April 27, 2025 ES slippage.
Rolling Drawdown Kill Switch:
Logic: Monitors drawdown (rollingPeak - strategy.equity) over 100 bars (default). Stops trading if > $1000 (rollingKill).
Impact: Prevents prolonged losing streaks, preserving capital for better setups.
Dynamic Stop-Loss and Take-Profit:
Logic: Stops = entry ± ATR * multiplier (default: 1.0x, stopDist). TPs = entry ± ATR * 1.5x (profitDist). Longs: stop below, TP above; shorts: vice versa.
Impact: Adapts to volatility, keeping stops tight but realistic, with TPs targeting 1.5:1 reward/risk.
Max Bars in Trade:
Logic: Closes trades after 8 bars (default) if not already exited.
Impact: Frees capital from stagnant trades, maintaining efficiency.
Kill Switch Buffer Dashboard:
Logic: Shows smallest buffer ($300 - daily loss or $1000 - rolling DD). Displays 0 (red) if kill switch active, else buffer (green).
Impact: Real-time risk visibility, letting traders adjust dynamically.
Why It’s Brilliant:
- Kill switches and ATR-based exits create a safety net, rare in generic scripts.
- Customizable risk inputs (maxDailyLoss, dynamicStopMult) suit different account sizes.
- Buffer metric empowers disciplined trading, a DAFE signature.
4. Trade Entry and Exit Logic
The entry/exit rules are precise, filtered, and adaptive, ensuring trades are deliberate and profitable.
Entry Conditions:
Long Entry: bullDiv2, cooldown passed (canSignal), ATR filter passed (tradeOk), in US session (inSession), no kill switches (not killSwitchActive, not rollingKill), z-score OK (zOk), HTF trend bullish (bullTrendOK), no existing long (lastDirection != 1, position_size <= 0). Closes shorts first.
Short Entry: Same, but for bearDiv2, bearTrendOK, no long (lastDirection != -1, position_size >= 0). Closes longs first.
Adaptive Cooldown: Default 2 bars (cooldownBars). Doubles (up to 10) after a losing trade, resets after wins (dynamicCooldown).
Exit Conditions:
Stop-Loss/Take-Profit: Set per trade (ATR-based). Exits on stop/TP hits.
Other Exits: Closes if maxBarsInTrade reached, ATR filter fails, or kill switch activates.
Position Management: Ensures no conflicting positions, closing opposites before new entries.
Built To Be Reliable and Consistent:
- Multi-filtered entries minimize false signals, a stark contrast to basic scripts.
- Adaptive cooldown prevents overtrading, especially after losses.
- Clean position handling ensures smooth execution, even in fast markets.
5. DAFE Visuals
The visuals are a DAFE hallmark, blending function with clean flair to make signals intuitive and charts stunning.
Aurora Bands:
Display: Bands around price during divergences (bullish: below low, bearish: above high), sized by ATR * bandwidth (default: 0.5).
Colors: Aqua (bullish), fuchsia (bearish), with transparency tied to divStrengthNorm.
Purpose: Highlights divergence zones with a glowing, futuristic vibe.
Divergence Orbs:
Display: Large/small circles (aqua below for bullish, fuchsia above for bearish) when bullDiv2/bearDiv2 and canSignal. Labels show strength (0–1).
Purpose: Pinpoints entries with eye-catching clarity.

OpeningRange (Trading_Tix)Purpose:
The indicator highlights the high, low, and middle (50%) price levels of a specified session's opening range. These levels can serve as key support and resistance zones for trading strategies. The indicator also offers options to extend these levels beyond the session into later timeframes, making it useful for tracking breakout or trend continuation setups.
Key Features:
1. Session Detection:
The indicator identifies a specific session period using the user-defined Session Time. It calculates the start time, high, and low prices during this period:
rangeTime: Defines the session time range (default: 5:00 PM to 2:59 AM).
extendTime: Defines the extended time range where lines/backgrounds can be prolonged.
2. Opening Range Calculation:
High (high_val) and Low (low_val)**:
Tracks the highest and lowest prices during the session.
Middle Line:
A midpoint is calculated by averaging high_val and low_val.
3. Visual Elements:
Horizontal Lines:
Drawn at the high, low, and middle levels.
Customizable in width and color.
Shaded Background Box:
Covers the range between high and low prices.
The box’s color and transparency can be adjusted.
Line and Box Extension:
Optionally extends these elements into the extended time range.
4. Customization:
Users have the flexibility to:
Toggle visibility of lines, middle line, and background box.
Adjust colors, line thickness, and style.
Enable or disable the extension of lines and backgrounds into the extended period.
How It Works:
Initialization:
The script initializes variables to store range data (startTime, high_val, low_val) and drawing objects (lines, boxes).
It detects whether the current bar falls within the session (inSession) or extended timeframe (inExtend).
Plotting:
During the session:
Deletes previous lines and boxes from prior sessions.
Draws new lines at the high, low, and middle levels.
Creates a background box covering the range, if enabled.
During the extended period:
Extends the session lines and box, if the user has opted for extensions.
Updates:
Continuously adjusts the high/low values and updates the lines as new price data arrives.
Use Cases:
This indicator can be valuable for traders who:
Use the opening range to identify potential breakout zones.
Trade based on price consolidation within the range.
Want a visual representation of key price levels to plan entries and exits.

Adaptability: Automatically adjusts to changing market volatility conditions
Contextual Analysis: Provides market conviction context beyond just price movement
Intuitive Design: Color-based system that requires minimal learning curve
Efficiency: Lightweight calculation that doesn’t impact chart performance
🔬 How It Works
1. ATR Calculation:
Calculates the Average True Range using the specified period
Establishes a baseline for normal market volatility
2. Range Analysis:
Measures each bar’s high-low range
Compares this range to the current ATR value to create a ratio
3. Gradient Mapping:
Converts the Range/ATR ratio to a normalized value between 0 and 1
Maps this value onto a color gradient between the start and end colors
Applies the resulting color to the price bar
4. Dashboard Creation:
Constructs an information panel on the last visible bar
Populates it with color samples and interpretation guidance
💡 Note:
This indicator works best when used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools rather than in isolation. The certainty/uncertainty measure provides context for your trading decisions but should not be the sole basis for entries and exits. Consider using higher certainty periods for trend-following strategies and exercise caution during periods of high uncertainty.

Core Functional Components
1. Advanced Moving Averages
A distinguishing feature of the DAFE strategy is its robust, multi-choice moving averages (MAs). Clients can choose from a wide array of MAs—each with specific strengths—in order to fine-tune their trading signals. The code includes user-defined functions for the following MAs:
imgur.com
Hull Moving Average (HMA):
The hma(src, len) function calculates the HMA by using weighted moving averages (WMAs) to reduce lag considerably while smoothing price data. This function computes an intermediate WMA of half the specified length, then a full-length WMA, and finally applies a further WMA over the square root of the length. This design allows for rapid adaptation to price changes without the typical delays of traditional moving averages.
Triple Exponential Moving Average (TEMA):
Implemented via tema(src, len), TEMA uses three consecutive exponential moving averages (EMAs) to effectively cancel out lag and capture price momentum. The final formula—3 * (ema1 - ema2) + ema3—produces a highly responsive indicator that filters out short-term noise.
Double Exponential Moving Average (DEMA):
Through the dema(src, len) function, DEMA calculates an EMA and then a second EMA on top of it. Its simplified formula of 2 * ema1 - ema2 provides a smoother curve than a single EMA while maintaining enhanced responsiveness.
Volume Weighted Moving Average (VWMA):
With vwma(src, len), this MA accounts for trading volume by weighting the price, thereby offering a more contextual picture of market activity. This is crucial when volume spikes indicate significant moves.
Zero Lag EMA (ZLEMA):
The zlema(src, len) function applies a correction to reduce the inherent lag found in EMAs. By subtracting a calculated lag (based on half the moving average window), ZLEMA is exceptionally attuned to recent price movements.
Arnaud Legoux Moving Average (ALMA):
The alma(src, len, offset, sigma) function introduces ALMA—a type of moving average designed to be less affected by outliers. With parameters for offset and sigma, it allows customization of the degree to which the MA reacts to market noise.
Kaufman Adaptive Moving Average (KAMA):
The custom kama(src, len) function is noteworthy for its adaptive nature. It computes an efficiency ratio by comparing price change against volatility, then dynamically adjusts its smoothing constant. This results in an MA that quickly responds during trending periods while remaining smoothed during consolidation.
Each of these functions—integrated into the strategy—is selectable by the trader (via the fastMAType and slowMAType inputs). This flexibility permits the tailored application of the MA most suited to current market dynamics and individual risk management preferences.
2. ATR-Based Filters and Risk Controls
ATR Calculation and Volatility Filter:
The strategy computes the Average True Range (ATR) over a user-defined period (atrPeriod). ATR is then used to derive both:
Volatility Assessment: Expressed as a ratio of ATR to closing price, ensuring that trades are taken only when volatility remains within a safe, predefined threshold (volatilityThreshold).
ATR-Based Entry Filters: Implemented as atrFilterLong and atrFilterShort, these conditions ensure that for long entries the price is sufficiently above the slow MA and vice versa for shorts. This acts as an additional confirmation filter.
Dynamic Exit Management:
The exit logic employs a dual approach:
Fixed Stop and Profit Target: Stops and targets are set at multiples of ATR (fixedStopMultiplier and profitTargetATRMult), helping manage risk in volatile markets.
Trailing Stop Adjustments: A trailing stop is calculated using the ATR multiplied by a user-defined offset (trailOffset), which captures additional profits as the trade moves favorably while protecting against reversals.
3. Multi-Timeframe Trend Filtering
The strategy enhances its signal reliability by leveraging a secondary, higher timeframe analysis:
15-Minute Trend Analysis:
By retrieving 15-minute moving averages (fastMA15m and slowMA15m) via request.security, the strategy determines the broader market trend. This secondary filter (enabled or disabled through useTrendFilter) ensures that entries are aligned with the prevailing market direction, thereby reducing the incidence of false signals.
4. Signal and Execution Logic
Combined MA Alignment:
The entry conditions are based primarily on the alignment of the fast and slow MAs. A long condition is triggered when the current price is above both MAs and the fast MA is above the slow MA—complemented by the ATR filter and volume conditions. The reverse applies for a short condition.
Volume and Time Window Validation:
Trades are permitted only if the current volume exceeds a minimum (minVolume) and the current hour falls within the predefined trading window (tradingStartHour to tradingEndHour). An additional volume spike check (comparing current volume to a moving average of past volumes) further filters for optimal market conditions.
Comprehensive Order Execution:
The strategy utilizes flexible order execution functions that allow pyramiding (up to 10 positions), ensuring that it can scale into positions as favorable conditions persist. The use of both market entries and automated exits (with profit targets, stop-losses, and trailing stops) ensures that risk is managed at every step.
5. Integrated Dashboard and Metrics
For transparency and real-time analysis, the strategy includes:
On-Chart Visualizations:
Both fast and slow MAs are plotted on the chart, making it easy to see the market’s technical foundation.
Dynamic Metrics Dashboard:
A built-in table displays crucial performance statistics—including current profit/loss, equity, ATR (both raw and as a percentage), and the percentage gap between the moving averages. These metrics offer immediate insight into the health and performance of the strategy.
Input Parameters: Detailed Breakdown
Every input is meticulously designed to offer granular control:
Fast & Slow Lengths:
Determine the window size for the fast and slow moving averages. Smaller values yield more sensitivity, while larger values provide a smoother, delayed response.
Fast/Slow MA Types:
Choose the type of moving average for fast and slow signals. The versatility—from basic SMA and EMA to more complex ones like HMA, TEMA, ZLEMA, ALMA, and KAMA—allows customization to fit different market scenarios.
ATR Parameters:
atrPeriod and atrMultiplier shape the volatility assessment, directly affecting entry filters and risk management through stop-loss and profit target levels.
Trend and Volume Filters:
Inputs such as useTrendFilter, minVolume, and the volume spike condition help confirm that a trade occurs in active, trending markets rather than during periods of low liquidity or market noise.
Trading Hours:
Restricting trade execution to specific hours (tradingStartHour and tradingEndHour) helps avoid illiquid or choppy markets outside of prime trading sessions.
Exit Strategies:
Parameters like trailOffset, profitTargetATRMult, and fixedStopMultiplier provide multiple layers of risk management and profit protection by tailoring how exits are generated relative to current market conditions.
Pyramiding and Fixed Trade Quantity:
The strategy supports multiple entries within a trend (up to 10 positions) and sets a predefined trade quantity (fixedQuantity) to maintain consistent exposure and risk per trade.
Dashboard Controls:
The resetDashboard input allows for on-the-fly resetting of performance metrics, keeping the strategy’s performance dashboard accurate and up-to-date.
Why This Strategy is Truly Exceptional
Multi-Faceted Adaptability:
The ability to switch seamlessly between various moving average types—each suited to particular market conditions—enables the strategy to adapt dynamically. This is a testament to the high level of coding sophistication and market insight infused within the system.
Robust Risk Management:
The integration of ATR-based stops, profit targets, and trailing stops ensures that every trade is executed with well-defined risk parameters. The system is designed to mitigate unexpected market swings while optimizing profit capture.
Comprehensive Market Filtering:
By combining moving average crossovers with volume analysis, volatility thresholds, and multi-timeframe trend filters, the strategy only enters trades under the most favorable conditions. This multi-layered filtering reduces noise and enhances signal quality.

Multitimeframe Fair Value Gap – FVG (Zeiierman)█ Overview
The Multitimeframe Fair Value Gap – FVG (Zeiierman) indicator provides a dynamic and customizable visualization of institutional imbalances (Fair Value Gaps) across multiple timeframes. Built for traders who seek to analyze price inefficiencies, this tool helps highlight potential entry points, unmitigated gaps, and directional bias using smart volume logic and adaptive visual elements.
A Fair Value Gap (FVG) forms when there's a three-candle sequence in which a market imbalance leaves a "gap" between the wicks of candle 1 and candle 3. These areas are often considered footprints of institutional activity, and this indicator gives you the tools to track them with surgical precision across any timeframe you choose—regardless of the one you're viewing.
This indicator also includes a trend filter powered by a low-pass Butterworth filter, enabling traders to distinguish between countertrend vs. trend-aligned FVGs for more intelligent decision-making. On top of that, it features a dynamic FVG table for live tracking and bull/bear volume power visualization inside each gap, adding powerful clarity to market intent.
█ How It Works
The indicator analyzes the open, high, low, close, and volume of candles from a user-selected timeframe. It identifies Fair Value Gaps based on wick logic and only confirms those that meet customizable strength criteria. Once detected, the indicator visualizes each FVG with dynamically extending boxes, optional buy/sell volume bars, and a real-time mitigation check.
⚪ Multitimeframe Logic
Users can analyze FVGs from a higher or lower timeframe regardless of their current chart.
This is achieved using request.security() to fetch OHLCV data from the chosen timeframe.
⚪ Wick Sensitivity & Impulse Filter
The script measures the wick size of potential FVG candles and compares them to a running average. Only FVGs with wick sizes above a certain sensitivity threshold (user-controlled) are plotted. This ensures only meaningful price dislocations (e.g., strong impulsive moves) are shown, reducing noise.
⚪ Midpoint Mitigation Logic
FVGs are marked as "mitigated" when the price revisits the gap area. Traders can choose whether full gap closure or just a midpoint touch is required. This allows faster reactivity in real-time trading environments.
⚪ Bull & Bear Power – Volume-Weighted Visualization
Every Fair Value Gap box includes sub-bars representing the estimated buy and sell effort that created the gap. These are calculated using the candle's close in relation to its high/low range and volume:
Buy Volume % ≈ effort from low to close
Sell Volume % ≈ effort from high to close
Each sub-bar inside the FVG:
Is color-coded (UpCol for bullish, DnCol for bearish)
Is drawn proportionally to the strength of buyers or sellers
Visually displays who was in control during the imbalance
⚪ FVG Table – Dynamic On-Chart Overview
The indicator includes an optional on-chart table that displays all currently active (unmitigated) FVGs in a side panel format:
Automatic updates as gaps are formed and mitigated
Color-coded rows to show bullish vs. bearish FVGs
Timestamps to know precisely when the gap formed
User-controlled position via Table Left and Table Right
This is a gap watchlist overlay, giving traders a concise view of current inefficiencies without manually scanning the chart.
⚪ FVG Trend Filter (Butterworth Smoother)
Using a two-pole Butterworth low-pass filter, the indicator computes a trendline based on average FVG values, offering a smooth but responsive directional signal.
Passband Ripple (dB): Controls sensitivity and overshoot tolerance
Cutoff Frequency (0–0.5): Sets how quickly the trendline reacts
The trendline helps categorize each FVG:
Trend up → favor bullish FVGs
Trend down → favor bearish FVGs
It adds an extra dimension to FVG entries, helping distinguish between trend-aligned and countertrend signals.
█ How to Use
⚪ Identify Institutional Gaps
Use this tool to identify areas where institutions may have left imbalances behind quickly.
These areas often become:
Strong support/resistance zones
Areas where price might react sharply
Targets for liquidity sweeps or retracements
⚪ React to Trend or Countertrend
The built-in trendline helps categorize each FVG:
Trend up → Bullish FVGs have higher validity
Trend down → Bearish FVGs have higher validity
⚪ Volume Context via Bull/Bear Power
Each Fair Value Gap is more than just a price imbalance — it’s a story of effort and intent. The Bull/Bear Power feature visualizes the buy and sell pressure behind each FVG, helping you understand how the gap was formed and who was in control.
A bullish FVG with a strong buy effort suggests continuation potential — buyers dominated the move.
A bullish FVG with a dominant sell effort could signal a trap or reversal — sellers may have overwhelmed the breakout.
These insights allow you to confirm imbalance strength, spot traps early, and add confidence to entries based on dominant volume profiles.
Instead of viewing gaps as static zones, this feature turns each into a live volume map — a visual breakdown of who moved the market and whether that move had conviction.
⚪ Plan with the FVG Table
The FVG Table acts as your on-chart control center for tracking active imbalances. When enabled, it provides a clear summary of all unmitigated Fair Value Gaps, helping you stay organized and focused during fast-moving sessions.
Track live and historical gaps: See exactly when and where each FVG formed.
Monitor older, still-valid zones: Gaps off-screen but not mitigated remain in play — perfect for anticipating future reactions.
Gauge market bias at a glance: The balance of bullish vs. bearish FVGs helps you understand overall directional pressure.
Plan entries confidently: Use the table to reference all zones for risk management, confluence stacking, or layered execution strategies.
Instead of manually scanning your chart, the FVG Table offers a clean, at-a-glance overview of the market’s inefficiencies — giving you the structure needed to act with precision.

LUX CLARA - EMA + VWAP (No ATR Filter) - v6EMA STRAT SHOUT OUTOUTLIERSSSSS
Overview:
an intraday strategy built around two core principles:
Trend Confirmation using the 50 EMA (Exponential Moving Average) in relation to the VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price).
Entry Signals triggered by the 8 EMA crossing the 50 EMA in the direction of that confirmed trend.
Key Logic:
Bullish Trend if the 50 EMA is above VWAP. Only long entries are allowed when the 8 EMA crosses above the 50 EMA during that bullish phase.
Bearish Trend if the 50 EMA is below VWAP. Only short entries are allowed when the 8 EMA crosses below the 50 EMA during that bearish phase.
Intraday Focus: Trades are restricted to a user-defined session window (default 7:30 AM–11:30 AM), aligning entries/exits with peak intraday liquidity.
Exit Rule: Positions close automatically when the 8 EMA crosses back in the opposite direction of the entry.
Why It Works:
EMA + VWAP helps detect both immediate momentum (EMAs) and overall institutional bias (VWAP).
By confining trades to a set intraday window, the strategy aims to capture morning volatility while avoiding choppy afternoon or overnight sessions.
Customization:
Users can adjust EMA lengths, session times, or incorporate stops/targets for additional risk management.
It can be tested on various symbols and intraday timeframes to gauge performance and robustness.
Vertical Line at Specified HoursThis script helps you easily separate time.
This indicator can be used for many different purposes. For example, I use it to separate different days and sessions.
Features :
1- Ability to use 10 vertical lines simultaneously
2- The Possibility to change the color of lines
3- The Possibility to change the line type
Tip : The times you enter in the input section must be in the New York time zone.
Supply & Demand Zones
_____________________________________________________________________
Supply and Demand Zones
This indicator displays valid Supply and Demand zones on any chart and timeframe, using dynamically updating visuals. Users can see the moment that zones become validated, used, and then invalidated during live sessions. It is sleek, lightweight, and offers a feature-rich settings panel that allows customization of how each element appears and functions. Zones can enhance the probability of successful trades by locating areas that are most likely to contain resting orders of Supply or Demand, which are needed for price reversals.
Disclaimer
____________________
Like all indicators, this can be a valuable tool when incorporated into a comprehensive, risk-based trading system.
Supply and Demand is not the same thing as Support and Resistance.
Trading based on price hitting a zone without understanding which zones are of higher quality and which are of lower quality (only discernible with a trained human eye) will yield poor results.
Supply and Demand works well as a system and even better when added to an existing one. However, like all effective trading techniques, it requires diligent study, practice, and repetition to become proficient. This is an indicator for use with Supply and Demand concepts, not a replacement for learning them.
Features
____________________
Once a valid candle sequence is confirmed, a box will appear that displays the zone over the precise zone range. At 50% zone penetration, a zone becomes used , and at 100% it becomes invalidated . Each of these zone classifications changes the behavior of the zone on the chart immediately. The settings panel offers custom colors for Supply , Demand , Used , and Invalidated zone types.
Borders : The subtle border colors can be changed or hidden.
Boxes or Bases : Advanced users can opt to hide zone boxes and instead display small, subtle tags over base candle groups. This allows for more customizable selection over what is displayed and how.
Max Zones and Hide Invalidated :
There are limitations on how many objects TradingView allows at once. Because of this, once zones go from used to invalidated , they are hidden (deleted) by default. This allows the zones index to be allocated to display more valid , usable zones instead. If a user prefers to keep invalidated zones visible, they can be enabled; however, this will result in showing more recent zones for fewer historical zones.
All zones share one pool, so if you allow fifty max zones, forty-five might be supply while five might be demand on a big sell-off trend. You will always see the most recent zones, regardless of type or status.
It’s up to you how much clutter you want on your screen and how much improved load time you want - but once loaded, zone creation and function are always instantaneous.
Load Time
____________________
Load time refers to the time it takes from when you switch tickers or timeframes before the zones are displayed initially. There is zero lag in the dynamic function and minimal load time, regardless of settings. However, if you are a fine-tuner or multi-screener, the number of Max Zones displayed is the only major variable affecting load time.
I run everything at Max when I develop. When I trade, I run mine at 25 max zones because I change timeframes often and want a very quick display of zones when I do. I have invalidated hidden, and simply enable it if I want to check an old zone. This gives me more zones than I need and reduces the load time to right where I like it.
Thresholds
____________________
It is recommended to leave these as the default.
Base Body Threshold : Determines the maximum ratio of a candle’s body to wick before invalidation. Default (50% or 0.5). A higher number loosens thresholds, resulting in more zones being displayed.
Unrequire 2nd FT if LO is Strong & Strength Multiplier :
The standard logic sequence requires two Follow-Through candles. Under some strong price movement, Leg-Out candles can make an explosive directional move from a base, making a convincing argument for supply and demand perfectly at work, if not for a single Follow-Through candle instead of two.
By enabling this feature, you can tell the script to ignore second Follow-Through candles, if and only if, the Leg-Out candle's range is (Strength) X the base range. exceeds the range of the Base by a factor of X (Strength). ie: At 5x, this would require a Leg-Out range to be 500% the range of the Base.
If enabled and the Leg-Out is not strong enough, the default logic kicks in, and a second follow-through candle will validate the zone as per usual. This loosens thresholds overall and should result in more zones.
Recommended Usage
____________________
Form a thesis using your primary trend trading system (eg: Elliott Wave, Structure Reversal, TheStrat, et al) to identify locations of a pullback for a long or short entry.
Identify a pullback area using your system, then use this indicator to find a high-quality zone on your chosen timeframe.
Once located, draw your own channel over the indicator's zone box. Start on 1m, check for zones, 2m, 3m, and so on. When you see a zone you like, recreate it; thus, when finished, you can see every timeframe’s highest-quality zones that you created, regardless of what timeframe you switch to. Tip: Be selective
To make the process faster, save a channel design in settings for “Demand” and one for “Supply”, then you can quickly get through this process in less than a minute with practice.
Optional: Use additional methods (eg: Fibonacci retracements, Elliott Wave Theory, Anchored VWAPs) to find congruent confirmation.
Version 1.0
____________________
No known bugs remain from the closed beta.
In Development
____________________
Powerful combination zones occur when standard zone sequences are extended with additional levels of demand or supply by adding more conditionals to the state machine logic. Got this mostly working in a dev version and it adds minimal extra resources. Set aside to polish a clean standard 1.0 for release first, but now displaying these extended zones is my top priority for next version.
MTF support is essentially working in a dev copy, but adds resources. Not sure if it is in the spirit of price action being the primary focus of a chart for serious traders, rather than indicators. If there is demand for it, I'll consider it.
Additional Threshold Settings

IU Gap Fill StrategyThe IU Gap Fill Strategy is designed to capitalize on price gaps that occur between trading sessions. It identifies gaps based on a user-defined percentage threshold and executes trades when the price fills the gap within a day. This strategy is ideal for traders looking to take advantage of market inefficiencies that arise due to overnight or session-based price movements. An ATR-based trailing stop-loss is incorporated to dynamically manage risk and lock in profits.
USER INPUTS
Percentage Difference for Valid Gap - Defines the minimum gap size in percentage terms for a valid trade setup. ( Default is 0.2 )
ATR Length - Sets the lookback period for the Average True Range (ATR) calculation. (default is 14 )
ATR Factor - Determines the multiplier for the trailing stop-loss, helping in risk management. ( Default is 2.00 )
LONG CONDITION
A gap-up occurs, meaning the current session opens above the previous session’s close.
The price initially dips below the previous session's close but then recovers and closes above it.
The gap meets the valid percentage threshold set by the user.
The bar is not the first or last bar of the session to avoid false signals.
SHORT CONDITION
A gap-down occurs, meaning the current session opens below the previous session’s close.
The price initially moves above the previous session’s close but then closes below it.
The gap meets the valid percentage threshold set by the user.
The bar is not the first or last bar of the session to avoid false signals.
LONG EXIT
An ATR-based trailing stop-loss is set below the entry price and dynamically adjusts upwards as the price moves in favor of the trade.
The position is closed when the trailing stop-loss is hit.
SHORT EXIT
An ATR-based trailing stop-loss is set above the entry price and dynamically adjusts downwards as the price moves in favor of the trade.
The position is closed when the trailing stop-loss is hit.
WHY IT IS UNIQUE
Precision in Identifying Gaps - The strategy focuses on real price gaps rather than minor fluctuations.
Dynamic Risk Management - Uses ATR-based trailing stop-loss to secure profits while allowing the trade to run.
Versatility - Works on stocks, indices, forex, and any market that experiences session-based gaps.
Optimized Entry Conditions - Ensures entries are taken only when the price attempts to fill the gap, reducing false signals.
HOW USERS CAN BENEFIT FROM IT
Enhance Trade Timing - Captures high-probability trade setups based on market inefficiencies caused by gaps.
Minimize Risk - The ATR trailing stop-loss helps protect gains and limit losses.
Works in Different Market Conditions - Whether markets are trending or consolidating, the strategy adapts to potential gap fill opportunities.
Fully Customizable - Users can fine-tune gap percentage, ATR settings, and stop-loss parameters to match their trading style.

High and Low with Horizontal TableHigh and Low with Horizontal Table Indicator
Overview
The "High and Low with Horizontal Table" indicator is designed for traders who wish to monitor key levels based on specific candle times, along with dynamic risk-to-reward ratios and ATR-based values. This indicator features real-time calculations, visual cues, and a table for quick reference of the calculated values.
Key Features
Custom Time Inputs:
Users can define two specific time inputs to select the candles for the High and Low prices. These times can target the same or separate candles.
ATR-based Calculation:
The indicator allows users to apply an ATR Multiplier to adjust the calculation of key levels. By default, the ATR multiplier is set to 1.2, but users can adjust it to their preferred value (e.g., 1.5 or 2).
Risk-to-Reward (R:R) Calculation:
The Risk-to-Reward Ratio (R:R) is used to calculate potential Take Profit (TP) levels based on the high and low of the selected candle(s).
The default R:R ratio is 2.0, but it can be customized to suit the trader’s strategy.
Visual Markings:
The High and Low values are plotted with subtle markers on the chart (cross style) for easy identification. The display of these markers is subdued for minimal visual distraction.
Horizontal Table Display:
A horizontal table is generated in the top-right corner of the chart, providing a quick reference for the following values:
High and Low of the selected candle(s)
High + ATR Multiplier and Low - ATR Multiplier
R:R ratio
Buy TP and Sell TP levels
Each value is displayed with a reasonable number of decimal places (4 decimals) for major forex pairs, XAUUSD, and BTCUSD.
Input Parameters
Hour and Minute for High Candle: Select the time for the candle that will determine the High.
Hour and Minute for Low Candle: Select the time for the candle that will determine the Low.
ATR Multiplier: A customizable input for adjusting the ATR-based calculations (default is 1.2).
Risk-to-Reward (R:R): Set the ratio to determine the TP levels (default is 2.0).
How It Works
The user defines two distinct time inputs (one for the High and one for the Low).
At the specified times, the indicator captures the High and Low prices of the candles.
The ATR is calculated and adjusted by the user-defined ATR Multiplier to determine buffers above the High and below the Low.
The Risk-to-Reward ratio is applied to calculate the Take Profit levels.
All of these values are displayed on the chart and updated in real time. The horizontal table ensures quick reference to all the key levels without cluttering the main chart.
Use Cases
Trend Trading: Identify potential support and resistance levels based on specific timeframes and adjust TP targets using ATR.
Scalping: Use the ATR and R:R calculations to target precise entry and exit points.
Market Opens: Track key market opens (such as New York and London) with candle times that reflect your trading strategy.
Conclusion
The High and Low with Horizontal Table indicator is a powerful tool for traders looking to combine precise candle-based level tracking with ATR-based risk management. By displaying key levels and TP targets in a clear, tabular format, traders can quickly assess and act on key price levels throughout their trading sessions.
Breakouts With Timefilter Strategy [LuciTech]This strategy captures breakout opportunities using pivot high/low breakouts while managing risk through dynamic stop-loss placement and position sizing. It includes a time filter to limit trades to specific sessions.
How It Works
A long trade is triggered when price closes above a pivot high, and a short trade when price closes below a pivot low.
Stop-loss can be set using ATR, prior candle high/low, or a fixed point value. Take-profit is based on a risk-reward multiplier.
Position size adjusts based on the percentage of equity risked.
Breakout signals are marked with triangles, and entry, stop-loss, and take-profit levels are plotted.
moving average filter: Bullish breakouts only trigger above the MA, bearish breakouts below.
The time filter shades the background during active trading hours.
Customization:
Adjustable pivot length for breakout sensitivity.
Risk settings: percentage risked, risk-reward ratio, and stop-loss type.
ATR settings: length, smoothing method (RMA, SMA, EMA, WMA).
Moving average filter (SMA, EMA, WMA, VWMA, HMA) to confirm breakouts.

Daily Time TheoryDaily Time Theory Indicator
The Daily Time Theory indicator is a versatile tool designed exclusively for daily charts. It dynamically colors daily candles according to the day of the week using customizable colors, making it easy to visually distinguish between Monday through Friday. In addition, it provides the option to display horizontal lines for key price levels (Open, High, Low, and Close) for each day. These lines extend into the future for a user-defined number of weeks, giving traders a clear view of historical support and resistance levels.
Key Features:
Day-Based Candle Coloring:
Each weekday’s candles are automatically colored based on user-defined color settings (e.g. blue for Monday, green for Tuesday, etc.), enhancing chart clarity and enabling quick visual analysis of daily patterns.
Customizable Price Level Lines:
Traders can toggle on or off the display of the Open, High, Low, and Close price levels for each day. This allows you to focus on the specific data points that are most relevant to your trading strategy.
Extended Projections:
The indicator lets you extend the drawn price level lines for multiple weeks. This feature provides insight into historical price levels and helps identify potential support and resistance areas.
Tiny Labels for Clarity:
Each line drawn comes with a small, unobtrusive label at its far right that clearly indicates whether the line represents the Open, High, Low, or Close. This ensures that you always know which price level is being highlighted without cluttering the chart.
User-Friendly Input Grouping:
The inputs are neatly organized into groups by day, making it simple to adjust colors and toggle settings for each weekday independently.
How It Works:
The indicator automatically detects the current day on a daily chart and assigns a corresponding color to the candles.
It stores each day’s Open, High, Low, and Close values using persistent variables so that historical price levels remain visible.
When toggled on, horizontal lines representing the selected price levels are drawn across the chart. A tiny label is attached to the end of each line, indicating the type of price level.
The extended lines allow you to see how historical daily price levels may act as support or resistance in the future.
Usage Recommendations:
This indicator is best used on daily timeframes for markets with regular trading sessions. It is ideal for traders who wish to analyze intra-week price behavior, identify recurring support and resistance levels, and incorporate daily price structure into their trading strategy.
