- Price respects support/resistance again
- Usually 1-5 days
---
## CONFLUENCE SYSTEM
### How It Works
The system scores each potential entry on 5 factors. More factors aligning = higher probability.
### Confluence Requirements by Regime
**Trending Regimes** (strictest):
- Minimum 2/5 required
- 3/5 = Good
- 4-5/5 = Excellent
**Ranging Regimes** (moderate):
- Minimum 1-2/5 required
- 2/5 = Good
- 3+/5 = Excellent
**Consolidation** (breakout only):
- Volume is most critical
- Direction confirmation
- Less confluence needed
### Adjusting Minimum Confluence
**If too few signals:**
- Lower from 2 to 1
- More trades, lower quality
**If too many false signals:**
- Raise from 2 to 3
- Fewer trades, higher quality
**Recommendation:**
- Start at 2
- Adjust based on win rate
- Aim for 55-65% win rate

## COMMON QUESTIONS
**Q: How many trades per month should I expect?**
A: Depends on timeframe and settings. Daily chart: 5-15 trades/month. 4H chart: 15-30 trades/month.
**Q: What's a good win rate?**
A: 55-65% is excellent. 50-55% is good. Below 50% needs adjustment.
**Q: Should I trade all regimes?**
A: Beginners: Only trending. Intermediate: Trending + ranging. Advanced: All except chaos.
**Q: Can I use this on any timeframe?**
A: Best on Daily and 4H. Works on 1H with more noise. Not recommended <1H.
**Q: What if I'm in a trade and regime changes?**
A: Exit immediately (if using indicator) or let strategy handle it automatically.
**Q: How do I know if I'm over-optimizing?**
A: If results are perfect on one period but fail on another. Use walk-forward testing.
**Q: Should I always take 5/5 confluence trades?**
A: Yes, but they're rare (1-2/month). Don't wait only for these.
**Q: Can I combine this with other indicators?**
A: Yes, but keep it simple. RSI, MACD already included. Maybe add volume profile.
**Q: What assets work best?**
A: Liquid stocks, major crypto, futures. Avoid forex spot (use futures), penny stocks.
**Q: How long to hold positions?**
A: Trending: Days to weeks. Ranging: Hours to days. Breakout: Days. Let the regime guide you.

Resampling Reverse Engineering Bands XRREB X: Visual Oscillator Projection Bands
Based on the innovative "Resampling Reverse Engineering" concept pioneered by Donovan Wall, this enhanced script fixes the core mathematical symmetry and provides anchored, non-repainting bands for reliable analysis.
This indicator transforms any RSI, Stochastic, or CCI calculation directly onto your price chart as dynamic support/resistance bands. Instead of watching an oscillator below your chart, you see its overbought/oversold levels projected as price levels the market must reach.
RREB X reverses standard oscillator formulas to answer one question: "What price must the market reach for my chosen oscillator to hit an extreme level like RSI=70, Stoch=80, or CCI=100?" It then plots these levels as actionable bands.
Key Improvements
Adjustable Oscillator Values - While the original was hard coded the reverse engineered oscillator length which limited its usefulness, this script finally allows you to visualize any length oscillator as dynamic OB/OS regions directly on the chart.
Dynamic OB/OS levels: This version also lets you dynamically adjust the OB/OS levels location, making bands tighter or wider as your strategy demands.
Mathematical Symmetry: Outer bands are perfect mirrors, providing reliable projected levels.
Fixed Anchoring: Bands don't repaint historically, offering stable reference lines.
Direct Price Translation: Oscillator overbought/oversold conditions are visualized as clear price levels.
The Band Calculation Type switch lets you project different oscillator logics, each with unique characteristics for different market conditions.
RRSI - General trend & momentum. Change RSI Period (e.g., 7 for fast, 21 for slow). Adjust OB/OS (e.g., 80/20 for strong trends). The bands show the price needed to push your custom RSI into overbought/oversold territory.
RStoch - Ranging markets & short-term reversals. Focus on the Stochastic Period. The projected bands are highly sensitive to recent highs/lows. Excellent for spotting reversals at the edges of a range.
RCCI - Strong trends & volatile markets. Use a higher Outer Bands Multiplier. CCI's lack of upper/lower bounds means bands reflect extreme momentum shifts. Great for identifying explosive breakout or breakdown levels in trends.
Use Middle Band as Filter: Price above the white middle band suggests a bullish bias for long setups; below suggests bearish for shorts. Same as the 50 midline on the RSI or Stochastic or 0 for CCI.
Customizing the Calculation:
The power lies in changing the oscillator lengths that the bands reflect. Adjust these in the settings:
Change from 14 to 7 for faster, more reactive bands, or to 21 for slower, smoother bands.
Overbought/Oversold: Change from 70/30 to 80/20 for stronger-trend filters, or to 60/40 for more frequent signals.
Trading the Bands:
Bands as Dynamic S/R: The solid cyan (Upper 100) and magenta (Lower 0) bands act as dynamic support and resistance. A touch and reversal can signal a trade.
Gradient as Momentum: The colored fills between bands visually represent the "pressure" needed to reach the next oscillator level.
Middle Band as Trend Filter: Price above the white middle band suggests a bullish bias for long setups; below suggests bearish for short setups.
TCT OBIF Detector█ OVERVIEW
The OBIF (Order Block Imbalance Fill) indicator automatically detects and visualizes high-probability trading zones by combining two powerful Smart Money Concepts: Order Blocks and Fair Value Gaps (FVGs).
An OBIF occurs when an Order Block forms immediately before a Fair Value Gap, creating a zone of institutional interest that price often revisits before continuing its move.
█ CONCEPTS
Order Block (OB)
An Order Block is the last opposing candle before a strong directional move. It represents an area where institutional traders likely placed orders.
- Bullish OB: Last bearish candle before an up-move
- Bearish OB: Last bullish candle before a down-move
Fair Value Gap (FVG)
An FVG is a price imbalance created when a candle's body completely gaps past the previous candle's range, leaving an unfilled area.
- Bullish FVG: Gap up where candle .low > candle .high
- Bearish FVG: Gap down where candle .high < candle .low
OBIF Zone
When an Order Block directly precedes an FVG, it creates an OBIF - a confluence zone with higher probability of acting as support/resistance.
█ HOW TO USE
1. Identify the Trend
Use OBIFs in the direction of the higher timeframe trend for best results.
2. Wait for Price to Return
OBIFs act as magnets - price often returns to fill the imbalance and test the order block.
3. Look for Confirmation
When price enters an OBIF zone, look for:
- Rejection wicks
- Engulfing patterns
- Break of structure on lower timeframes
4. Mitigation
Once price fully trades through the OBIF (touches the opposite edge), the zone is considered mitigated and loses its significance.
█ FEATURES
- Automatic Detection — Identifies OBIFs in real-time as they form
- Visual Zones — Clean, non-intrusive boxes that don't obscure price action
- Mitigation Tracking — Zones automatically update when price mitigates them
- Multi-Timeframe Friendly — Works on any timeframe from 1m to Monthly
- Customizable — Adjust colors, opacity, and display preferences
█ SETTINGS
- Lookback Window — How many candles back to search for the Order Block (default: 3)
- Show Bullish/Bearish — Toggle visibility of each type
- Show Mitigated — Display zones that have been mitigated (shown in gray)
- Fill Opacity — Adjust zone transparency (higher = more see-through)
- Border Width — Thickness of zone borders
█ BEST PRACTICES
✓ Use on higher timeframes (1H+) for more reliable zones
✓ Combine with market structure analysis
✓ Look for OBIFs at key support/resistance levels
✓ Use lower timeframe confirmation for entries
✗ Don't trade every OBIF blindly
✗ Avoid OBIFs against the dominant trend

Accumulation And Distribution Zones (Zeiierman)█ Overview
Accumulation And Distribution Zones (Zeiierman) is a structural zone indicator that highlights where the market has recently been absorbing sell pressure (Accumulation) or releasing buy pressure (Distribution).
The indicator tracks a refined sequence of swing highs and lows and measures how these swings tighten, expand, or step directionally. When they form staircase-style structures such as higher lows with compressing highs for Accumulation or lower highs with compressing lows for Distribution, the script marks these areas as shifts in market control.
Once the full pattern completes, the indicator converts it into an Accumulation or Distribution zone. Each zone is based on a confirmed structural sequence rather than a single point, making it more reliable and reflective of actual market behavior.
The indicator can also display a mini-volume profile within each zone and extend POC levels forward, showing where trading activity clustered most. Combined, these features reveal areas where price has recently shown acceptance, absorption, or rejection, helping you understand whether current price action is reacting to, breaking from, or retesting these important structural regions.
█ How It Works
⚪ Swing Structure
The indicator builds its foundation by detecting swing highs and lows using a configurable Swing Detection Window. Each confirmed swing is stored with its price, time, bar index, and direction. If two consecutive swings share the same direction, only the more extreme one is kept. This produces a clean structural sequence that removes noise and keeps only meaningful turning points.
⚪ Accumulation vs Distribution Pattern Logic
Using the refined swing sequence, the script looks for staircase-style formations that signal shifts in control:
Accumulation (bottoming): higher lows combined with compressing highs.
Distribution (topping): lower highs combined with compressing lows.
Two detection modes are available:
Quick for compact 4-swing formations
Slow for broader 6-swing structures
When a full structural pattern completes, the indicator marks the zone and resets the swing buffer for the next formation.
⚪ Volume Profile Construction
The price range between the zone’s upper and lower boundary is divided into several Rows. For every bar within the zone’s swing range, the bar’s volume is added to the appropriate price row.
Volume is classified as:
Bullish volume when close > open
Bearish volume when close < open
Each row is drawn as two horizontal segments (bull and bear), colored with smooth gradients based on your bull/bear color settings. This creates a compact profile that reveals where trading activity is concentrated inside the zone and whether buyers or sellers dominate those price levels.
█ How to Use
The indicator is designed to provide context and confluence, not raw buy/sell signals.
⚪ Spot Fresh Accumulation & Distribution
Use newly printed zones as a map of where the market has recently:
Absorbed selling and formed a floor (Accumulation below price).
Absorbed buying and formed a cap (Distribution above price).
In a trending environment, fresh accumulation zones below price are often areas to watch for pullbacks, while distribution zones above price can act as sell zones or targets.
⚪ Volume Profile
Longer horizontal bars show where the market traded the most volume inside the zone.
Bull-leaning rows inside an accumulation zone often signal strong buying interest during the formation.
Bear-leaning rows inside a distribution zone highlight concentrated selling pressure.
By combining this volume distribution with the zone label and the broader trend context, you can judge whether the structure is more likely to hold, break, or retest as the price approaches it again.
⚪ POC (Point of Control) Trading
Extended POC zones (Regular or Faded) can be treated as dynamic support/resistance rails:
When price revisits a prior accumulation POC and rejects it from above, the level may act as support. When price retests a distribution POC from below and fails to break through, it can act as resistance.
⚪ Combine with Your Own Strategy
The script does not decide direction for you. You get the most value by combining it with:
Your own trend filters (moving averages, higher timeframe structure, volatility measures).
Your preferred entry models (reversal candles, momentum breaks, liquidity grabs, etc.).
Higher-timeframe mapping.
Think of this tool as a map of where the market did meaningful business. You decide how to trade around those areas.
█ Settings
Acc/Dist Ranges – Master switch for drawing all Accumulation and Distribution zones. Turn this off to temporarily hide boxes while leaving supporting logic active.
Pattern – Shows or hides the swing-based pattern outline that formed each zone. Good for structural debugging and education.
Pattern Sensitivity
Quick – more responsive, detects smaller compact structures.
Slow – stricter, focuses on wider and more established zones.
Swing Detection Window – Pivot width used to confirm swing highs and lows. Larger values filter noise and produce bigger zones; smaller values pick up more minor structures.
Volume Profile – Enables the embedded volume profile inside each zone.
Rows – Number of price slices used to aggregate volume in the zone. Higher values give more detail but increase visual density.
Switch Order – Flips the horizontal order of bull vs bear volume segments within each row.
Extend Zones – Behaviour of POC and zone extension:
None – No forward extension.
Faded Zones – Store and draw up to four past POC zones as faded horizontal levels.
Regular Zones – Extend POC boxes forward until price breaks out.

Previous Day Candle [ApexFX]Previous Day Candle is a precision tool designed for intraday traders who rely on previous daily structures to find support and resistance.
While most indicators simply mark the previous high and low, this tool focuses on Session Continuity. It highlights the full 24-hour range of the previous day and extends those levels into the "Killzone" of the current trading day (up to 2:00 PM EST / 12:00 PM MST).
Why use this? Market reaction often occurs at the previous day's extremes. By extending these lines into the current session, you can easily spot:
Breakouts: Price pushing through yesterday's high.
Failed Auctions: Price sweeping yesterday's low and reversing.
Support/Resistance Flips: Old highs becoming new support.
Main Features:
Asset Class Presets: Don't worry about timezones. Simply select your market:
Forex: Aligns to the standard 5:00 PM EST New York Open.
Indices: Aligns to the 6:00 PM EST Globex Open.
Crypto: Aligns to UTC Midnight.
Custom: Full manual control for specific needs.
Visual "Boxing": Vertical dotted lines clearly demarcate the start and end of the previous trading day.
Dynamic History: Choose to show just yesterday's levels or look back at the last 5+ days.
Smart Color Coding: The indicator automatically cycles colors for each day (Blue = Yesterday, Green = 2 Days Ago, etc.), making it instant to read historical price action.
Best Used On: Intraday timeframes (5m, 15m, 1h).

Inspired by Steve Nison's *Japanese Candlestick Charting Techniques*, this tool elevates pattern analysis beyond basics—think Hammers, Engulfing patterns, Morning Stars, and rare gems like Abandoned Baby or Concealing Baby Swallow—all consolidated into intelligent arrays for real-time averaging and prioritization.
**Key Features**
- **Extensive Pattern Library**:
- **Bullish (25+ patterns)**: Hammer (8.0), Bullish Engulfing (10.0), Morning Star (7.0), Three White Soldiers (9.0), Dragonfly Doji (8.0), and more (e.g., Rising Three, Unique Three River Bottom).
- **Bearish (25+ patterns)**: Hanging Man (8.0), Bearish Engulfing (10.0), Evening Star (7.0), Three Black Crows (9.0), Gravestone Doji (8.0), and exotics like Upside Gap Two Crows or Stalled Pattern.
- **Neutral/Indecision (34+ patterns)**: Doji variants (Long-Legged, Four Price), Spinning Tops, Harami Crosses, and multi-bar setups like Upside Tasuki Gap or Advancing Block.
Each pattern includes duration tracking (1-5 bars) and ATR-adjusted body/shadow criteria for relevance in volatile conditions.
- **Smart Confirmation Filters** (All Toggleable):
- **Trend Alignment**: 20-period SMA (customizable) ensures entries align with the prevailing trend; optional higher timeframe (e.g., Daily) MA crossover for multi-timeframe confluence.
- **Support/Resistance (S/R)**: Pivot-based levels with 0.01% tolerance to confirm bounces or breaks.
- **Volume Surge**: 20-period volume MA with 1.5x spike multiplier to validate momentum.
- **ATR Body Sizing**: Filters small bodies (<0.3x ATR) and long bodies (>0.8x ATR) for context-aware pattern reliability.
- **Follow-Through**: Ensures post-pattern confirmation via bullish/bearish closes or closes beyond prior bars.
Minimum average strength (default 7.0) and individual pattern thresholds (5.0) prevent weak signals.
- **Entry & Exit Logic**:
- **Long Entry**: Bullish average strength ≥7.0 (outweighing bearish), uptrend, volume spike, near support, follow-through, and HTF alignment.
- **Short Entry**: Mirror for bearish dominance in downtrends near resistance.
- **Exits**: Bearish/neutral shift, or fixed TP (5%) / SL (2%)—pyramiding disabled, 10% equity sizing.
- Backtest range: Jan 1, 2020 – Dec 31, 2025 (editable). Initial capital: $10,000.
- **Interactive Dashboard** (Top-Right Panel):
Real-time insights including:
- Market phase (e.g., "Bullish Phase (Avg Str: 8.2)"), active pattern (e.g., "BULLISH: Bullish Engulfing (Str: 10.0, Bars: 2)"), and trend status.
- Strength breakdowns (Bull/Bear/Neutral counts & averages).
- Filter status (e.g., "Volume: ✔ Spike", "ATR: Enabled (L:0.8, S:0.3)").
- Backtest stats: Total trades, win rate, streak, and last entry/exit details (price & timestamp).
Toggle mode: Strategy (live trades) or Indicator (signals only).
- **Advanced Alerts** (15+ Toggleable Types):
Set up via TradingView's "Any alert() function call" for bar-close triggers:
- Entry/Exit signals with strength & pattern details.
- Strong patterns (≥2 bullish/bearish), neutral indecision, volume spikes.
- S/R breakouts, HTF reversals, high-confidence singles (≥8.0 strength).
- Conflicting signals, MA crossovers, ATR volatility bursts, multi-bar completions.
Example: "STRONG BULLISH PATTERN detected! Strength: 9.5 | Top Pattern: Three White Soldiers | Trend: Up".
**Customization & Usage Tips**
- **Inputs Groups**: Strategy toggles, confirmations, exits, backtest dates, and 15+ alert switches—all intuitively grouped.
- **Optimization**: Tune min strengths for aggressive (lower) or conservative (higher) trading; enable/disable filters to suit your style (e.g., disable S/R for scalping).
- **Best For**: Forex, stocks, crypto on 1H–Daily charts. Test on historical data to refine TP/SL.
- **Limitations**: No external data installs; relies on built-in TA functions. Patterns are probabilistic—combine with your risk management.

Extremum Range MA Crossover Strategy1. Principle of Work & Strategy Logic ⚙️📈
Main idea: The strategy tries to catch the moment of a breakout from a price consolidation range (flat) and the start of a new trend. It combines two key elements:
Moving Average (MA) 📉: Acts as a dynamic support/resistance level and trend filter.
Range Extremes (Range High/Low) 🔺🔻: Define the borders of the recent price channel or consolidation.
The strategy does not attempt to catch absolute tops and bottoms. Instead, it enters an already formed move after the breakout, expecting continuation.
Type: Trend-following, momentum-based.
Timeframes: Works on different TFs (H1, H4, D), but best suited for H4 and higher, where breakouts are more meaningful.
2. Justification of Indicators & Settings ⚙️
A. Moving Average (MA) 📊
Why used: Core of the strategy. It smooths price fluctuations and helps define the trend. The price (via extremes) must cross the MA → signals a potential trend shift or strengthening.
Parameters:
maLength = 20: Default length (≈ one trading month, 20-21 days). Good balance between sensitivity & smoothing.
Lower TF → reduce (10–14).
Higher TF → increase (50).
maSource: Defines price source (default = Close). Alternatives (HL2, HLC3) → smoother, less noisy MA.
maType: Default = EMA (Exponential MA).
Why EMA? Faster reaction to recent price changes vs SMA → useful for breakout strategies.
Other options:
SMA 🟦 – classic, slowest.
WMA 🟨 – weights recent data stronger.
HMA 🟩 – near-zero lag, but “nervous,” more false signals.
DEMA/TEMA 🟧 – even faster & more sensitive than EMA.
VWMA 🔊 – volume-weighted.
ZLEMA ⏱ – reduced lag.
👉 Choice = tradeoff between speed of reaction & false signals.
B. Range Extremes (Previous High/Low) 📏
Why used: Define borders of recent trading range.
prevHigh = local resistance.
prevLow = local support.
Break of these levels on close = trigger.
Parameters:
lookbackPeriod = 5: Searches for highest high / lowest low of last 5 candles. Very recent range.
Higher value (10–20) → wider, stronger ranges but rarer signals.
3. Entry & Exit Rules 🎯
Long signals (BUY) 🟢📈
Condition (longCondition): Previous Low crosses MA from below upwards.
→ Price bounced from the bottom & strong enough to push range border above MA.
Execution: Auto-close short (if any) → open long.
Short signals (SELL) 🔴📉
Condition (shortCondition): Previous High crosses MA from above downwards.
→ Price rejected from the top, upper border failed above MA.
Execution: Auto-close long (if any) → open short.
Exit conditions 🚪
Exit Long (exitLongCondition): Close below prevLow.
→ Uptrend likely ended, range shifts down.
Exit Short (exitShortCondition): Close above prevHigh.
→ Downtrend likely ended, range shifts up.
⚠️ Important: Exit = only on candle close beyond extremes (not just wick).
4. Trading Settings ⚒️
overlay = true → indicators shown on chart.
initial_capital = 10000 💵.
default_qty_type = strategy.cash, default_qty_value = 100 → trades fixed $100 per order (not lots). Can switch to % of equity.
commission_type = strategy.commission.percent, commission_value = 0.1 → default broker fee = 0.1%. Adjust for your broker!
slippage = 3 → slippage = 3 ticks. Adjust to asset liquidity.
currency = USD.
margin_long = 100, margin_short = 100 → no leverage (100% margin).
5. Visualization on Chart 📊
The strategy draws 3 lines:
🔵 MA line (thickness 2).
🔴 Previous High (last N candles).
🟢 Previous Low (last N candles).

Triple-EMA Cloud (3× configurable EMAs + timeframe + fill)About This Script
Name: Triple-EMA Cloud (3× configurable EMAs + timeframe + fill)
What it does:
The script plots three Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) on your chart.
You can set each EMA’s length (how many bars or days it averages over), source (for example, closing price, opening price, or the midpoint of high + low), and timeframe (you can have one EMA use daily data, another hourly data, etc.).
The indicator draws a “cloud” or channel by shading the area between the outermost two EMAs of the three. This lets you see a band or zone that the price is moving in, defined by those EMAs.
You also get full control over how each of the three EMA‐lines looks: color, thickness, transparency, and plot style (solid line, steps, circles, etc.).
How to Use It (for Beginners)
Here’s how a trader who’s new to charts can use this tool, especially when looking for pullbacks or undercut price action.
Key Concepts
Trend: Imagine the market price is generally going up or down. EMAs are a way to smooth out price movements so you can see the trend more clearly.
Pullback: When a price has been going up (an uptrend), sometimes it dips down a little before going up again. That dip is the pullback. It’s a chance to enter or add to a position at a “better price.”
Undercut: This is when price drops below an important level (for example an EMA) and then comes back up. It looks like it broke below, but then it recovers. That may show reverse pressure or strength building.
How the Script Helps With Pullbacks & Undercuts
Marking Trend Zones with the Cloud
The cloud between the outer EMA lines gives you a zone of expected support/resistance. If the price is above the cloud, that zone can act like a “floor” in uptrends; if it is below, the cloud might act like a “ceiling” in downtrends.
Watching Price vs the EMAs
If the price pulls back toward the cloud (or toward one of the EMAs) and then bounces back up, that’s a signal that the uptrend might continue.
If the price undercuts (goes a bit below) one of the EMAs or the cloud and then returns above it, that can also be a signal. It suggests that even though there was a temporary drop, buyers stepped in.
Using the Three EMAs for Confirmation
Because the script uses three EMAs, you can see how tightly or loosely they are spaced.
If all three EMAs are broadly aligned (for example, in an uptrend: shorter length above longer length, each pulling from reliable price source), that gives more confidence in trend strength.
If the middle EMA (or different source/timeframe) is holding up as support while others are above, it strengthens signal.
Entry & Exit Points
Entry: For example, after a pullback toward the cloud or “mid‐EMA”, wait for price to show a bounce up. That could be a better entry than buying at the top.
Stop Loss / Risk: You might place a stop loss just below the cloud or the lowest of your selected EMAs so that if price breaks through, the idea is invalidated.
Profit Target: Could be a recent high, resistance level, or a fixed reward-risk multiple (for example aiming to make twice what you risked).
Practical Steps for New Traders
Set up the EMAs
Choose simple lengths like 10, 21, 50.
For example, EMA #1 = length 10, source Close, timeframe “current chart”; EMA #2 = length 21, source (H+L)/2; EMA #3 = length 50, maybe timeframe daily.
Observe the Price Action
When price moves up, then dips, see if it comes back near the shaded cloud or one of the EMAs.
See if the dip touches the EMAs lightly (not a big drop) and then price starts climbing again.
Look for undercuts
If price briefly goes below a line (or below cloud) and then closes back above, that’s undercut + recovery. That bounce back is often meaningful.
Manage risk
Only put in money you can afford to lose.
Use small position size until you get comfortable.
Use stop-loss (as mentioned) in case the price doesn’t bounce as expected.
Practice
Put this indicator on charts (stocks you follow) in past time periods. See how price behaved with pullbacks / undercuts relative to the EMAs & cloud. This helps you learn to see signals.
What It Doesn’t Do (and What to Be Careful Of)
It doesn’t predict the future — it simply shows zones and trends. Price can still break down through the cloud.
In a “choppy” market (i.e. when price is going up and down without a clear trend), signals from EMAs / clouds are less reliable. You’ll get more “false bounces.”
Under / overshoots & big news events can break through clean levels, so always watch for confirmation (volume, price behavior) before putting big money in.
Rolling Range Bands by tvigRolling Range Bands
Plots two dynamic price envelopes that track the highest and lowest prices over a Short and Long lookback. Use them to see near-term vs. broader market structure, evolving support/resistance, and volatility changes at a glance.
What it shows
• Short Bands: recent trading range (fast, more reactive).
• Long Bands: broader range (slow, structural).
• Optional step-line style and shaded zones for clarity.
• Option to use completed bar values to avoid intrabar jitter (no repaint).
How to read
• Price pressing the short high while the long band rises → short-term momentum in a larger uptrend.
• Price riding the short low inside a falling long band → weakness with trend alignment.
• Band squeeze (narrowing) → compression; watch for breakout.
• Band expansion (widening) → rising volatility; expect larger swings.
• Repeated touches/rejections of long bands → potential areas of support/resistance.
Inputs
• Short Window, Long Window (bars)
• Use Close only (vs. High/Low)
• Use completed bar values (stability)
• Step-line style and Band shading
Tips
• Works on any symbol/timeframe; tune windows to your market.
• For consistent scaling, pin the indicator to the same right price scale as the chart.
Not financial advice; combine with trend/volume/RSI or your system for entries/exits.

Optionally, the most recent daily levels (D-1) are plotted as chart lines.
✅ Perfect for day traders, scalpers, and swing traders who rely on yesterday’s price action to plan today’s trades.
Market Imbalance Tracker (Inefficient Candle + FVG)# 📊 Overview
This indicator combines two imbalance concepts:
• **Squared Up Points (SUP)** – midpoints of large, "inefficient" candles that often attract price back.
• **Fair Value Gaps (FVG)** – 3-candle gaps created by strong impulse moves that often get "filled."
Use them separately or together. Confluence between a SUP line and an FVG boundary/midpoint is high-value.
---
# ⚡ Quick Start (2 minutes)
1. **Add to chart** → keep defaults (Percentile method, 80th percentile, 100-bar lookback).
2. **Watch** for dashed SUP lines to print after large candles.
3. **Toggle Show FVG** → see green/red boxes where gaps exist.
4. **Turn on alerts** → New SUP created, SUP touched, New FVG.
5. **Trade the reaction** → look for confluence (SUP + FVG + S/R), then manage risk.
---
# 🛠 Features
## 🔹 Squared Up Points (SUP)
• **Purpose:** Midpoint of a large candle → potential support/resistance magnet.
• **Detection:** Choose *Percentile* (adaptive) or *ATR Multiple* (absolute).
• **Validation:** Only plots if the preceding candle does not touch the midpoint (with tolerance).
• **Lifecycle:** Line auto-extends into the future; it's removed when touched or aged out.
• **Visual:** Horizontal dashed line (color/width configurable; style fixed to dashed if not exposed).
## 🔹 Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
• **Purpose:** 3-candle gaps from an impulse; price often revisits to "fill."
• **Detection:** Requires a strong directional candle (Marubozu threshold) creating a gap.
• **Types:**
- **Bullish FVG (Green):** Gap below; expectation is downward fill.
- **Bearish FVG (Red):** Gap above; expectation is upward fill.
• **Close Rules (if implemented):**
- *Full Fill:* Gap closes when the opposite boundary is tagged.
- *Midpoint Fill:* Gap closes when its midpoint is tagged.
• **Visual:** Colored boxes; optional split-coloring to emphasize the midpoint.
> **Note:** If a listed FVG option isn't visible in Inputs, you're on a lighter build; use the available switches.
---
# ⚙️ Settings
## SUP Settings
• **Candle Size Method:** Percentile (top X% of recent ranges) or ATR Multiple.
• **Candle Size Percentile:** e.g., 80 → top 20% largest candles.
• **ATR Multiple & Period:** e.g., 1.5 × ATR(14).
• **Percentile Lookback:** Bars used to compute percentile.
• **Lookback Period:** How long SUP lines remain eligible before auto-cleanup.
• **Touch Tolerance (%):** Buffer based on the inefficient candle's range (0% = exact touch).
## Line Appearance
• **Line Color / Width:** Customizable.
• **Style:** Dashed (fixed unless you expose a style input).
## FVG Settings (if present in your build)
• **Show FVG:** On/Off.
• **Close Method:** Full Fill or Midpoint.
• **Marubozu Wick Tolerance:** Max wick % of the impulse bar.
• **Use Split Coloring:** Two-tone box halves around midpoint.
• **Colors:** Bullish/Bearish, and upper/lower halves (if split).
• **Max FVG Age:** Auto-remove older gaps.
---
# 📈 How to Use
## Trading Applications
• **SUP Lines:** Expect reaction on first touch; use as S/R or profit-taking magnets.
• **FVG Fills:** Price frequently tags the midpoint/boundary before continuing.
• **Confluence:** SUP at an FVG midpoint/boundary + higher-timeframe S/R = higher quality.
• **Bias:** Clusters of unfilled FVGs can hint at path of least resistance.
## Best Practices
• **Timeframe:** HTFs for swing levels, LTFs for execution.
• **Volume:** High volume at level = stronger signal.
• **Context:** Trade with broader trend or at least avoid counter-trend without confirmation.
• **Risk:** Always pre-define invalidation; structures fail in chop.
---
# 🔔 Alerts
• **New SUP Created** – When a qualifying inefficient candle prints a SUP midpoint.
• **SUP Touched/Invalidated** – When price touches within tolerance.
• **New FVG Detected** – When a valid gap forms per your rules.
> **Tip:** Set alerts *Once Per Bar Close* on HTFs; *Once* on LTFs to avoid noise.
---
# 🧑💻 Technical Notes
• **Percentile vs ATR:** Percentile adapts to volatility; ATR gives consistency for backtesting.
• **FVG Direction Logic:** Gap above price = bearish (expect up-fill); below = bullish (expect down-fill).
• **Performance:** Limits on lines/boxes and auto-aging keep things snappy.
---
# ⚠️ Limitations
• Imbalances are **context tools**, not signals by themselves.
• Works best with trend or clear impulses; expect noise in narrow ranges.
• Lower-timeframe gaps can be plentiful and lower quality.
---
# 📌 Version & Requirements
• **Pine Script v6**
• Heavy drawings may require **TradingView Pro** or higher (object limits).

Reverse RSI Signals [AlgoAlpha]🟠 OVERVIEW
This script introduces the Reverse RSI Signals system, an original approach that inverts traditional RSI values back into price levels and then overlays them directly on the chart as dynamic bands. Instead of showing RSI in a subwindow, the script calculates the exact price thresholds that correspond to common RSI levels (30/70/50) and displays them as upper, lower, and midline bands. These are further enhanced with an adaptive Supertrend filter and divergence detection, allowing traders to see overbought/oversold zones translated into actionable price ranges and trend signals. The script combines concepts of RSI inversion, volatility envelopes, and divergence tracking to provide a context-driven tool for spotting reversals and regime shifts.
🟠 CONCEPTS
The script relies on inverting RSI math: by solving for the price that would yield a given RSI level, it generates real chart levels tied to oscillator conditions. These RSI-derived price bands act like support/resistance, adapting each bar as RSI changes. On top of this, a Supertrend built around the RSI midline introduces directional bias, switching regimes when the midline is breached. Regular bullish and bearish divergences are detected by comparing RSI pivots against price pivots, highlighting early reversal conditions. This layered approach means the indicator is not just RSI on price but a hybrid of oscillator translation, volatility-tracking midline envelopes, and divergence analysis.
🟠 FEATURES
Inverted RSI bands: upper (70), lower (30), and midline (50), smoothed with EMA for noise reduction.
Supertrend overlay on the RSI midline to confirm regime direction (bullish or bearish).
Gradient-filled zones between outer and inner RSI bands to visualize proximity and exhaustion.
Non-repainting bullish and bearish divergence markers plotted directly on chart highs/lows.
🟠 USAGE
Apply the indicator to any chart and use the plotted RSI price bands as adaptive support/resistance. The midline defines equilibrium, while upper and lower bands represent classic RSI thresholds translated into real price action. In bullish regimes (green candles), long trades are stronger when price approaches or bounces from the lower band; in bearish regimes (red candles), shorts are favored near the upper band. Divergence markers (▲ for bullish, ▼ for bearish) flag potential reversal points early. Traders can combine the band proximity, divergence alerts, and Supertrend context to time entries, exits, or to refine ongoing trend trades. Adjust smoothing and Supertrend ATR settings to match the volatility of the instrument being analyzed.
XAUUSD Strength Dashboard with VolumeXAUUSD Strength Dashboard with Volume Analysis
📌 Description
This advanced Pine Script indicator provides a multi-timeframe dashboard for XAUUSD (Gold vs. USD), combining price action analysis with volume confirmation to generate high-probability trading signals. It detects:
✅ Break of Structure (BOS)
✅ Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
✅ Change of Character (CHOCH)
✅ Trendline Breaks (9/21 SMA Crossover)
✅ Volume Spikes (Confirmation of Strength)
The dashboard displays strength scores (0-100%) and action recommendations (Strong Buy/Buy/Neutral/Sell/Strong Sell) across multiple timeframes, helping traders identify confluences for better trade decisions.
🎯 How It Works
1. Multi-Timeframe Analysis
Fetches data from 1m, 5m, 15m, 30m, 1h, 4h, Daily, and Weekly timeframes.
Compares trend direction, BOS, FVG, CHOCH, and volume spikes across all timeframes.
2. Volume-Confirmed Strength Score
The Strength Score (0-100%) is calculated using:
Trend Direction (25 points) → 9 SMA vs. 21 SMA
Break of Structure (20 points) → New highs/lows with momentum
Fair Value Gaps (10 points) → Imbalance zones
Change of Character (10 points) → Shift in market structure
Trendline Break (20 points) → SMA crossover confirmation
Volume Spike (15 points) → High volume confirms moves
Score Interpretation:
≥75% → Strong Buy (High confidence bullish move)
60-74% → Buy (Bullish but weaker confirmation)
40-59% → Neutral (No strong bias)
25-39% → Sell (Bearish but weaker confirmation)
≤25% → Strong Sell (High confidence bearish move)
3. Dashboard & Chart Markers
Dashboard Table: Shows Trend, BOS, Volume, CHOCH, TL Break, Strength %, Key Level, and Action for each timeframe.
Chart Markers:
🟢 Green Triangles → Bullish BOS
🔴 Red Triangles → Bearish BOS
🟢 Green Circles → Bullish CHOCH
🔴 Red Circles → Bearish CHOCH
📈 Green Arrows → Bullish Trendline Break
📉 Red Arrows → Bearish Trendline Break
"Vol↑" (Lime) → Bullish Volume Spike

Adaptive Volume‐Demand‐Index (AVDI)Demand Index (according to James Sibbet) – Short Description
The Demand Index (DI) was developed by James Sibbet to measure real “buying” vs. “selling” strength (Demand vs. Supply) using price and volume data. It is not a standalone trading signal, but rather a filter and trend confirmer that should always be used together with chart structure and additional indicators.
---
\ 1. Calculation Basis\
1. Volume Normalization
$$
\text{normVol}_t
= \frac{\text{Volume}_t}{\mathrm{EMA}(\text{Volume},\,n_{\text{Vol}})_t}
\quad(\text{e.g., }n_{\text{Vol}} = 13)
$$
This smooths out extremely high volume spikes and compares them to the average (≈ 1 means “average volume”).
2. Price Factor
$$
\text{priceFactor}_t
= \frac{\text{Close}_t - \text{Open}_t}{\text{Open}_t}.
$$
Positive values for bullish bars, negative for bearish bars.
3. Component per Bar
$$
\text{component}_t
= \text{normVol}_t \times \text{priceFactor}_t.
$$
If volume is above average (> 1) and the price rises slightly, this yields a noticeably positive value; conversely if the price falls.
4. Raw DI (Rolling Sum)
Over a window of \$w\$ bars (e.g., 20):
$$
\text{RawDI}_t
= \sum_{i=0}^{w-1} \text{component}_{\,t-i}.
$$
Alternatively, recursively for \$t \ge w\$:
$$
\text{RawDI}_t
= \text{RawDI}_{t-1}
+ \text{component}_t
- \text{component}_{\,t-w}.
$$
5. Optional EMA Smoothing
An EMA over RawDI (e.g., \$n\_{\text{DI}} = 50\$) reduces short-term fluctuations and highlights medium-term trends:
$$
\text{EMA\_DI}_t
= \mathrm{EMA}(\text{RawDI},\,n_{\text{DI}})_t.
$$
6.Zero Line
Handy guideline:
RawDI > 0: Accumulated buying power dominates.
RawDI < 0: Accumulated selling power dominates.
2. Interpretation & Application
Crossing Zero
RawDI above zero → Indication of increasing buying pressure (potential long signal).
RawDI below zero → Indication of increasing selling pressure (potential short signal).
Not to be used alone for entry—always confirm with price action.
RawDI vs. EMA_DI
RawDI > EMA\_DI → Acceleration of demand.
RawDI < EMA\_DI → Weakening of demand.
Divergences
Price makes a new high, RawDI does not make a higher high → potential weakness in the uptrend.
Price makes a new low, RawDI does not make a lower low → potential exhaustion of the downtrend.
3. Typical Signals (for Beginners)
\ 1. Long Setup\
RawDI crosses zero from below,
RawDI > EMA\_DI (acceleration),
Price closes above a short-term swing high or resistance.
Stop-Loss: just below the last swing low, Take-Profit/Trailing: on reversal signals or fixed R\:R.
2. Short Setup
RawDI crosses zero from above,
RawDI < EMA\_DI (increased selling pressure),
Price closes below a short-term swing low or support.
Stop-Loss: just above the last swing high.

Volume EMA (n₍Vol₎) = 13
RawDI window (w) = 20
EMA over DI (n₍DI₎) = 50 (medium-term) or 1 (no smoothing)
Attention:\
NEVER use in isolation. Always in combination with price action analysis (trendlines, support/resistance, candlestick patterns).
Especially during volatile news phases, RawDI can fluctuate strongly → EMA\_DI helps to avoid false signals.

Conclusion The Demand Index by James Sibbet is a powerful filter to assess price movements by their volume backing. It shows whether a rally is truly driven by demand or merely a short-term volume anomaly. In combination with classic chart analysis and risk management, it helps to identify robust entry points and potential trend reversals earlier.
Tight Range Display with Background🌟 Tight Range Transparency Display with Background
What Is This Indicator?
Hey traders! Ever wanted a simple way to spot those quiet, low-volatility moments in the market that often signal a big move is coming? The Tight Range Transparency Display with Background does exactly that! This indicator highlights periods where the price is moving in a tight range—think of it as the calm before the storm. It paints the chart background blue to show these zones, with the shade getting darker the tighter the range becomes. It’s like having a visual cue to say, “Hey, something might be brewing here!”
Why You’ll Love It
Spot Key Moments Easily: The blue background makes it super easy to see when the market is in a tight range, which often happens before breakouts or big trends.
Customizable Settings: You can tweak the range thresholds to match your trading style—whether you’re looking for super tight zones or slightly broader ones.
Visual Clarity: The background gets darker when the range is tighter, giving you a quick sense of how compressed the price action is.
Perfect for Any Market: Works on stocks, forex, crypto, or any chart you trade, across any timeframe.
How to Use It
Add It to Your Chart:
Just copy this script into TradingView’s Pine Editor and hit "Add to Chart." It’ll overlay right on your price chart.
Tweak the Settings:
Open the indicator settings and use the dropdown menus to pick your preferred "Tight Range %" and "Wide Range %." For example, set a Tight Range % of 2.0% to catch smaller ranges, or go higher like 10.0% for broader ones.
You can also adjust the ATR Period (default is 5) to make the indicator more or less sensitive to recent price swings.
Watch for the Blue Background:
When the price enters a tight range, the chart background turns blue. The darker the blue, the tighter the range—meaning a potential breakout could be closer!
Trade Smarter:
Use these tight range zones to prepare for potential breakouts. For example, if you see a dark blue background, it might be a good time to watch for a big price move.
Pair this with other tools like support/resistance levels or volume spikes to confirm your trades.
Who Is This For?
Swing Traders: Perfect for spotting consolidation zones before a big swing.
Breakout Traders: Tight ranges often lead to breakouts—use this to time your entries.
Smart Money Followers: If you’re into smart money concepts, tight ranges can signal accumulation or distribution phases.
Beginners & Pros Alike: It’s easy to use for new traders but powerful enough for seasoned pros.
Real-World Example
Imagine you’re trading a stock on a 1-hour chart. You notice the background turns blue, and it’s getting darker over a few bars. This tells you the price range is tightening—maybe the stock is consolidating after a big move. You check your other indicators, see a volume spike, and spot a breakout above resistance. Boom! You catch the next big trend, all because this indicator helped you focus on the right moment.
Tips for Best Results
Try Different Timeframes: Tight ranges on a 15-minute chart might signal short-term moves, while a daily chart could highlight bigger trends.
Adjust for Your Market: For volatile markets like crypto, you might want a higher Tight Range % (e.g., 10.0%). For calmer markets like forex, try a lower setting (e.g., 2.0%).
Combine with Other Tools: Use this alongside trendlines, moving averages, or volume indicators to confirm your setups.
Why I Made This
I created this indicator because I wanted a simple, visual way to spot those critical low-volatility zones without cluttering my chart. The dynamic background color makes it intuitive to see when the market is “coiling up” for a potential move. I hope it helps you find better trading opportunities just like it does for me!

VWAP Breakout Strategy + EMAs + Clean Cycle/TP/SL PlotsHere’s a quick user-guide to get you up and running with your “VWAP Breakout Strategy + EMAs + Clean Cycle/TP/SL Plots” script in TradingView:
⸻
1. Installing the Script
1. Open TradingView, go to Pine Editor (bottom panel).
2. Paste in your full Pine-v6 code and hit Add to chart.
3. Save it (“Save as…”): give it a memorable name (e.g. “VWAP Breakout+EMAs”).
⸻
2. Configuring Your Inputs
Once it’s on the chart, click the ⚙️ Settings icon to tune:
Setting Default What it does
ATR Length 14 Period for average true range (volatility measure)
ATR Multiplier for Stop 1.5 How many ATRs away your stop-loss sits
TP1 / TP2 Multipliers (ATR) 1.0 / 2.0 Distance of TP1 and TP2 in ATR multiples
Show VWAP / EMAs On Toggles the blue VWAP line & EMAs (100/34/5)
Full Cycle Range Points 200 Height of the shaded “cycle zone”
Pivot Lookback 5 How many bars back to detect a pivot low
Round Number Step 500 Spacing of your dotted horizontal lines
Show TP/SL Labels On Toggles all the “ENTRY”, “TP1”, “TP2”, “STOP” tags
Feel free to adjust ATR multipliers and cycle-zone size based on the instrument’s typical range.
⸻
3. Reading the Signals
• Long Entry:
• Trigger: price crosses above VWAP
• You’ll see a green “Buy” tag at the low of the signal bar, plus an “ENTRY (Long)” label at the close.
• Stop is plotted as a red dashed line below (ATR × 1.5), and TP1/TP2 as teal and purple lines above.
• Short Entry:
• Trigger: price crosses below VWAP
• A red “Sell” tag appears at the high, with “ENTRY (Short)” at the close.
• Stop is the green line above; TP1/TP2 are dashed teal/purple lines below.
⸻
4. Full Cycle Zone
Whenever a new pivot low is detected (using your Pivot Lookback), the script deletes the old box and draws a shaded yellow rectangle from that low up by “Full Cycle Range Points.”
• Use this to visualize the “maximum expected swing” from your pivot.
• You can quickly see whether price is still traveling within a normal cycle or has overstretched.
⸻
5. Round-Number Levels
With Show Round Number Levels enabled, you’ll always get horizontal dotted lines at the nearest multiples of your “Round Number Step” (e.g. every 500 points).
• These often act as psychological support/resistance.
• Handy to see confluence with VWAP or cycle-zone edges.
⸻
6. Tips & Best-Practices
• Timeframes: Apply on any intraday chart (5 min, 15 min, H1…), but match your ATR length & cycle-points to the timeframe’s typical range.
• Backtest first: Use the Strategy Tester tab to review performance, tweak ATR multipliers or cycle size, then optimize.
• Combine with context: Don’t trade VWAP breakouts blindly—look for confluence (e.g. support/resistance zones, higher-timeframe trend).
• Label clutter: If too many labels build up, you can toggle Show TP/SL Labels off and rely just on the lines.
⸻
That’s it! Once you’ve added it to your chart and dialed in the inputs, your entries, exits, cycle ranges, and key levels will all be plotted automatically. Feel free to experiment with the ATR multipliers and cycle-zone size until it fits your instrument’s personality. Happy trading!
