Tick Tack by TradeSeekers"Tick Tack" is a unique first of it's kind attempt at recreating market breadth index "TICK" for all sessions and all markets. Do not confuse this with tick charts.
Backstory
The fun aptly named "Tick Tack" has similar visuals to a market breadth indicator I created, MIT (Market Internal Trend) . For comparative demonstrations it has been included in the publication chart but is not required for Tick Tack usage.
MIT centers on the "TICK" index in a unique bias colored histogram display, where extreme high tick values indicate potential for buy side exhaustion, and inversely, extreme low tick values indicate potential for sell side exhaustion.
The issue with market breadth/internal data is the unavailability in non-RTH sessions, something this indicator resolves. Also TICK isn't available for crypto markets, non-US markets, etc. Tick Tack can be applied to virtually any market.
Neutral Range
Given that TICK index is a ratio and operates on a known range (~1000 +/-), many measures surrounding TICK are statically anchored.
When recreating the concept of TICK on an unbounded market, certain concessions had to be made, the first being the boundaries.
Tick Tack reads the market and creates a dynamic boundary for the "tick like" high and low extreme areas. That is the neutral range and is similarly colored to the MIT indicator.
Conventional trading wisdom indicates that TICK index values between 500 +/- are neutral/chop and have no edge.
Breaks
Any sufficiently high or low breaks beyond the neutral range are considered breaks and colored to indicate this event. Deviation calculations are used to indicate the strength level.
If a break of significant strength is detected, it'll be marked as "extreme" with color and a diamond plot, exactly like MIT.
"Tick" Trend
A simple SMA trend, like MIT, is made optionally available to show direction of the histogram measure.
"TRIN" Dots
TRIN, or "traders index", aims to present a numerical value indicating buy and sell sentiment. Intraday this index adjusts in realtime to market breadth price and volume advancement or decline with a publicly available formula for the entire market (NYSE typically).
Given that Tick Tack isn't making use of market breadth data, some creativity was employed here with a different take on the concept.
At times where measurement indicates directional movement, Tick Tack will display white dots at the histogram zero point, otherwise if balance is detected then the dots will be orange. If neither measure fires a detection, no dots will be displayed.
Usage
It's been primarily designed to emulate TICK index for intraday trading, scalping and similar.
Once sufficiently settled on directionality, range, etc. Utilize the histogram to find key break points to counter or join depending on market conditions.
Often times with TICK, the extreme breaks can be counter signals for quick mean reversion scalps.
Look for histogram and price action divergences for V signals near key pivots.
Tick Tack hasn't been tested nor designed for anything higher timeframe, but a benefit of this indicator vs TICK index is that it works on any timeframe with scaled resolution. It's entirely possible that this indicator has usefulness in higher timeframes.
Considerations
Tick Tack operates under the premise that mostly the market breadth will impact the market being charted and should provide a close approximation. If the charted market has low correlation to breadth then assume this TICK like display will have little to no similarity to the real TICK index (which may be acceptable).
Where Tick Tack and the TICK index will potentially see wide divergence will be near open of RTH. In many cases, with gaps in the NYSE or similar market breadth data, it will take some time for TICK index to catch up to current market conditions. Tick Tack will not suffer from this issue if utilizing extended session data and may provide a clearer picture.
Do note that Tick Tack is not claiming to present actual market breadth information and while it can be used for scalping, like TICK, I'm unsure it can be trusted for the same reasons as TICK.
Final Notes
I've received countless messages, questions and comments that my other market breadth tools be made available to extended sessions, non-US markets and crypto.
My thought process was that if I could create something that closely matched TICK index in regular trading hours, then perhaps it would provide similar indications and usefulness in extended session.

TradeQUO Herrick Payoff RSIHerrick Payoff Index RSI (HPI-RSI) with Signal Line
An advanced oscillator that measures market strength not just by price, but by "smart money flow."
This indicator is not a typical RSI. Instead of applying the Relative Strength Index to price alone, it calculates it on the cumulative Herrick Payoff Index (HPI) . This creates a unique oscillator that reflects the underlying sentiment and capital flow in the market.
What is the Herrick Payoff Index (HPI)?
The HPI is a classic sentiment indicator that combines three crucial elements to determine if money is flowing into or out of an asset:
Price Change: The direction and momentum of the market.
Trading Volume: The conviction behind the price movement.
Open Interest (OI): The total number of open contracts (mainly in futures), which indicates if new capital is entering the market.
By combining these factors, the HPI provides a more comprehensive picture of market strength than indicators based solely on price.
How This Indicator Works
The script follows a logical, multi-step process:
It calculates the raw Herrick Payoff Index for each bar.
It creates a cumulative sum of this index to generate a continuous money flow value.
This cumulative value is smoothed with a short-period EMA to reduce noise.
The RSI is then applied to this smoothed HPI value.
An additional, configurable signal line (moving average) is added to facilitate trading signals.
Interpretation and Application
You can use this indicator much like a standard RSI, but with the added context of money flow:
Overbought/Oversold: Values above 70 suggest an overbought condition, while values below 30 signal an oversold condition.
Signal Line Crossovers: A cross of the HPI-RSI line above the signal line can be seen as a bullish signal. A cross below can be seen as a bearish signal.
Divergences: Look for divergences between the indicator and the price. A bullish divergence (price makes a lower low, indicator makes a higher low) can indicate an upcoming move to the upside. A bearish divergence (price makes a higher high, indicator makes a lower high) can signal a potential move to the downside.
Settings
The indicator has been deliberately kept simple:
HPI Smoothing Length: Smoothing length (1-5) for the cumulative HPI.
RSI Length: The lookback period for the RSI calculation.
Signal Line Settings: Here you can enable/disable the signal line and customize its type and length.
Display Settings: Adjust the colors of the RSI and signal lines to your preference.
This indicator is a tool for analysis and should always be used in combination with other methods and a solid risk management strategy. Happy trading!
StochFusion – Multi D-LineStochFusion – Multi D-Line
An advanced fusion of four Stochastic %D lines into one powerful oscillator.
What it does:
Combines four user-weighted Stochastic %D lines—from fastest (9,3) to slowest (60,10)—into a single “Fusion” line that captures both short-term and long-term momentum in one view.
How to use:
Adjust the four weights (0–10) to emphasize the speed of each %D component.
Watch the Fusion line crossing key zones:
– Above 80 → overbought condition, potential short entry.
– Below 20 → oversold condition, potential long entry.
– Around 50 → neutral/midline, watch for trend shifts.
Applications:
Entry/exit filter: Only take trades when the Fusion line confirms zone exits.
Trend confirmation: Analyze slope and cross of the midline for momentum strength.
Multi-timeframe alignment: Use on different chart resolutions to find confluence.
Tips & Tricks:
Default weights give more influence to slower %D—good for trend-focused strategies.
Equal weights provide a balanced oscillator that mimics an ensemble average.
Experiment: Increase the fastest weight to capture early reversal signals.

ATR, ADX, RSI TableATR, ADX & RSI Dashboard (Color-Coded)
Overview
This indicator provides a clean, all-in-one dashboard that displays the current values for three of the most popular technical indicators: Average True Range (ATR), Average Directional Index (ADX), and Relative Strength Index (RSI).
To make analysis faster and more intuitive, the values in the table are dynamically color-coded based on key thresholds. This allows you to get an immediate visual summary of market volatility, trend strength, and momentum without cluttering your main chart area.
Features
The indicator displays a simple table in the bottom-right corner of your chart with the following color logic:
ATR (Volatility): Measures the average volatility of an asset.
Green: Low Volatility (ATR is less than 3% of the current price).
Orange: Moderate Volatility (ATR is between 3% and 5%).
Red: High Volatility (ATR is greater than 5%).
ADX (Trend Strength): Measures the strength of the underlying trend, regardless of its direction.
Red: Weak or Non-Trending Market (ADX is below 20).
Orange: Developing or Neutral Trend (ADX is between 20 and 25).
Green: Strong Trend (ADX is above 25).
RSI (Momentum): Measures the speed and change of price movements to identify overbought or oversold conditions.
Green: Potentially Oversold (RSI is below 40).
Orange: Neutral/Normal Conditions (RSI is between 40 and 70).
Red: Potentially Overbought (RSI is above 70).
How to Use
This tool is perfect for traders who want a quick, at-a-glance understanding of the current market state. Instead of analyzing three separate indicators, you can use this dashboard to:
Quickly confirm if a strong trend is present before entering a trade.

DCI### 📌 **DCI – Direction Correlation Index**
#### 🔹 **What It Is**
The **Direction Correlation Index (DCI)** is a tool for measuring how closely a group of up to 10 symbols move together in both *trend correlation* and *short-term direction*. It helps identify whether a group of assets is acting in unison or moving independently.
---
#### ⚙️ **How It Works**
DCI outputs three key metrics:
1. **Average Correlation**
* Measures the average of all pairwise correlations between the selected symbols.
* Prices are first standardized using a z-score (based on simple moving average and standard deviation over a user-defined lookback period).
* Correlation is calculated using Pearson’s method for all 45 symbol pairs.
* Result ranges from:
* `+1.00` = strong positive correlation
* `0.00` = no correlation
* `-1.00` = strong inverse correlation
2. **Direction Agreement %**
* Checks whether each symbol is moving up or down compared to its previous bar.
* Calculates the percentage of symbols moving in the same direction.
* For example: if 7 of 10 symbols are moving up and 3 are moving down, the direction agreement is 70%.
3. **Strong Correlation Count**
* Counts how many of the 45 symbol pairs have an absolute correlation above `0.7`.
* Helps highlight how many pairs are currently highly correlated.
---
#### 📈 **How to Use It**
1. **Select Symbols**
* In the **Settings**, you can input up to 10 custom symbols. These can be stocks, indices, forex pairs, crypto, or any tradable asset.
2. **Adjust the Lookback Period**
* Defines how many bars back are used to calculate z-scores and correlations.
* Default is `12`. Use shorter periods for faster response; longer periods for smoother, slower data.
3. **Interpret the Table (Plotted on Chart)**
* **Avg Corr**: Tells you how much the group is co-moving. High correlation often reflects unified market behavior.
* **Dir Agr %**: Shows directional sync. High values mean most instruments are trending the same way in the current bar.
* **> 0.7**: The number of pairs currently strongly correlated (|corr| > 0.7).
---
#### 🧠 **Practical Usage Tips**
* Use DCI to monitor **sector alignment**, **portfolio behavior**, or **market group momentum**.
* Confirm trend strength by checking if high correlation aligns with a strong direction agreement.
* Low correlation + mixed direction can signal **choppy or indecisive markets**.
* High correlation + strong direction = **trend confirmation** across your selected instruments.

Values range from 0 to 100, where 100 represents peak popularity for the selected term.
Use this indicator to observe how shifts in search volume correlate with market movements. It is not a trading signal by itself but can be useful for sentiment analysis.
Script created and published by Bitcoin CounterFlow.
Nova SMC Key TimesThe Nova SMC Key Times is a focused TradingView® indicator tailored for futures traders who want clear visual markers at key session transitions. Designed with simplicity in mind, it automatically plots two dashed vertical lines each trading day to highlight the pre-market and official market-open times (adjusted for Micro E-mini S&P 500 and Micro Gold contracts).
Pre-Market Marker: A semi-transparent white dashed line drawn at the start of pre-market activity, helping you observe early liquidity movements and potential order accumulation.
Market-Open Marker: A fully opaque white dashed line at the exact opening bar of the main session, providing a clear reference for breakout attempts and volatility spikes.
Because LSF detects the appropriate timestamps based on the loaded symbol (MES1! or MGC1!), you never need to manually set session times. If applied to other symbols, it remains silent, ensuring that charts stay uncluttered.
You can easily customize line colors to match your visual preferences under the provided style settings. By visually framing these two critical moments each day, Nova LSF helps traders anticipate stop hunts, breakout retests, and initial momentum moves—making it a useful complement to any liquidity-oriented or order-flow strategy.
HTF Overlay Candles (Aggregated)🕯️ Synthetic Aggregated Candles
Created by: The_Forex_Steward
License: Mozilla Public License 2.0
🔍 Description
This indicator creates visually aggregated candles directly on your chart, allowing you to view synthetic candlesticks that combine multiple bars into one. It enables a higher-level perspective of price action without switching timeframes.
Each synthetic candle is built by combining a user-defined number of consecutive bars (e.g., 4 bars from the current timeframe form one aggregated candle). It accurately tracks open, high, low, and close values, then draws a colored box and wick to represent the aggregated data.
⚙️ Features
Aggregation Factor: Combine candles over a custom number of bars (e.g., 4 = 4x current TF)
Timezone Alignment: Aggregation is aligned with midnight in UTC-5 (modifiable in code)
Custom Colors: Choose colors for bullish and bearish synthetic candles
Body Opacity: Control the opacity of the candle body for visual clarity
Wick Width: Customize the thickness of the candle wick
📌 Use Case
Ideal for traders looking to:
- Reduce noise in lower timeframes
- Visualize price action in broader chunks
- Spot larger structure and swing patterns without switching charts
📈 How It Works
At every bar, the script checks whether a new aggregation interval has begun (aligned to the day start). If so, it finalizes the previous candle and starts a new one. On the last bar of the chart, it ensures the final synthetic candle is drawn.
✅ Tip
For best results, apply this script on intraday timeframes and experiment with different aggregation factors (4, 6, 12, etc.) to discover the most insightful compression for your strategy.
Note: This script is optimized for visual representation only. It does not repaint, but it is not intended for algorithmic strategies or alerts.
15Min Opening Range & Midline (UTC+2) This TradingView script draws the 15-minute Opening Range of the day based on a user-defined start time and plots the high, low, and midline of this range. It works by capturing the high and low of the first 15 minutes of the session, and then extending them for the rest of the trading day. The midline is calculated as the average of the high and low values.
Key Features:
User-configurable start time: Define the hour and minute for when the opening range should start based on your local time zone.
Line customization: Choose the color and line style (solid, dashed, dotted) for the high, low, and midline.
Easy-to-read visual representation: The high and low lines extend across the chart from the range start, with the midline placed in the center.
Dynamic updates: The indicator resets at the start of each new trading day and updates the opening range lines accordingly.
Perfect for:
Traders looking to monitor the initial market range during the first 15 minutes of trading.
Identifying key support and resistance levels based on early price action.
Providing a midline to assess market bias and potential breakouts.
Notes:
The indicator calculates everything based on the local time zone you define and automatically adjusts to your desired start time.
It will not redraw lines; once drawn, they remain on the chart until the next session.
COT-Index-NocTradingCOT Index Indicator
The COT Index Indicator is a powerful tool designed to visualize the Commitment of Traders (COT) data and offer insights into market sentiment. The COT Index is a measurement of the relative positioning of commercial traders versus non-commercial and retail traders in the futures market. It is widely used to identify potential market reversals by observing the extremes in trader positioning.
Customizable Timeframe: The indicator allows you to choose a custom time interval (in months) to visualize the COT data, making it flexible to fit different trading styles and strategies.
How to Use:
Visualize Market Sentiment: A COT Index near extremes (close to 0 or 100) can indicate potential turning points in the market, as it reflects extreme positioning of different market participant groups.
Adjust the Time Interval: The ability to adjust the time interval (in months) gives traders the flexibility to analyze the market over different periods, which can be useful in detecting longer-term trends or short-term shifts in sentiment.
Combine with Other Indicators: To enhance your analysis, combine the COT Index with your technical analysis.
This tool can serve as an invaluable addition to your trading strategy, providing a deeper understanding of the market dynamics and the positioning of major market participants.
Consolidation Range with Signals (Zeiierman)█ Overview
Consolidation Range with Signals (Zeiierman) is a precision tool for identifying and trading market consolidation zones, where price contracts into tight ranges before significant movement. It provides dynamic range detection using either ADX-based trend strength or volatility compression metrics, and offers built-in take profit and stop loss signals based on breakout dynamics.
Whether you trade breakouts, range reversals, or trend continuation setups, this indicator visualizes the balance between supply and demand with clearly defined mid-bands, breakout zones, and momentum-sensitive TP/SL placements.
█ How It Works
⚪ Multi-Method Range Detection
ADX Mode
Uses the Average Directional Index (ADX) to detect low-trend-strength environments. When ADX is below your selected threshold, price is considered to be in consolidation.
Volatility Mode
This mode detects consolidation by identifying periods of volatility compression. It evaluates whether the following metrics are simultaneously below their respective historical rolling averages:
Standard Deviation
Variance
Average True Range (ATR)
⚪ Dynamic Range Band System
Once a range is confirmed, the system builds a dynamic band structure using a volatility-based filter and price-jump logic:
Middle Line (Trend Filter): Reacts to price imbalance using adaptive jump logic.
Upper & Lower Bands: Calculated by expanding from the middle line using a configurable multiplier.
This creates a clean, visual box that reflects current consolidation conditions and adapts as price fluctuates within or escapes the zone.
⚪ SL/TP Signal Engine
On detection of a breakout from the range, the indicator generates up to 3 Take Profit levels and one Stop Loss, based on the breakout direction:
All TP/SL levels are calculated using the filtered base range and multipliers.
Cooldown logic ensures signals are not spammed bar-to-bar.
Entries are visualized with colored lines and labeled levels.
This feature is ideal for traders who want automated risk and reward reference points for range breakout plays.
█ How to Use
⚪ Breakout Traders
Use the SL/TP signals when the price breaks above or below the range bands, especially after extended sideways movement. You can customize how far TP1, TP2, and TP3 sit from the entry using your own risk/reward profile.
⚪ Mean Reversion Traders
Use the bands to locate high-probability reversion zones. These serve as reference zones for scalping or fade entries within stable consolidation phases.
█ Settings
Range Detection Method – Choose between ADX or Volatility compression to define range criteria.
Range Period – Determines how many bars are used to compute trend/volatility.
Range Multiplier – Scales the width of the consolidation zone.
SL/TP System – Optional levels that project TP1/TP2/TP3 and SL from the base price using multipliers.
Cooldown – Prevents repeated SL/TP signals from triggering too frequently.
ADX Threshold & Smoothing – Adjusts sensitivity of trend strength detection.
StdDev / Variance / ATR Multipliers – Fine-tune compression detection logic.

Project SynthIntroducing Project Synth !
Inspired by Pace of Tape and Cumulative Delta I created Project Synth in order to aggregate volume flow data across multiple marketsfor two primary reasions:
Traditional orderflow tools are not available on Tradingview. My script attempts to bring an original; calculus-based approach to creating not only an alternative for traditional orderflow tools, but also a more accurate one.
In order to detect genuine buying and selling pressure that cannot be easily manipulated. I did this because while I've always enjoyed concept behind both of those tools, I did not think they captured enough data to be useful. By analyzing assets that move together (positive correlation) and assets that move inversely (negative correlation), my system aims to fix the fundamental problems with those indicators and create an objective view of market sentiment based on aggregate orderflow.
Some more detailed explanations (using QQQ and SQQQ as an example):
Inverse Market Dynamics (QQQ vs SQQQ):
In an inverse market like SQQQ, aggressive buyers hit the ask when they expect the underlying (QQQ) to fall, while passive buyers wait on the bid hoping for cheaper inverse exposure. When QQQ rallies, SQQQ sees aggressive selling (people dumping their bearish bets) hitting bids, while passive sellers sit on the ask hoping to exit at better prices. The aggression flows opposite to the underlying market direction.
Why Utilizing Both Markets Provides A More Accurate Delta:
Watching both QQQ and SQQQ gives cross-validation - real buying pressure in QQQ should coincide with selling pressure in SQQQ. If you see buying in QQQ but also buying in SQQQ, that's a conflicting signal suggesting the move might be artificial or driven by other factors. The inverse relationship acts as a confirmation filter, making false signals much harder to generate.
Multiple Markets = Authentic Pressure:
The more unique, important markets you track, the harder it becomes to create fake delta moves. Real institutional buying/selling pressure affects multiple correlated assets simultaneously in predictable patterns - you can't easily manipulate tech stocks, treasury bonds, VIX, and currency pairs all at once to create a false signal. Each additional market acts as a fraud detection layer, ensuring the delta measurement reflects genuine ecosystem-wide buying and selling pressure rather than isolated manipulation or noise.
My Suggestions For Usage:
In order to keep the explanation simple and short for now, I suggest using it just like a cumulative delta indicator. For example: let's say you were watching CME_MINI:ES1! , and you had a resistance level at 6000. When the price reaches your resistance level, you would be looking for a significant divergence between price and Delta. Price : rising, Delta : falling. This means that even though the price was going up, strong and aggressive sellers are jumping in more and more, this can be used as a confirmation tool for a resistance level.
Notes For Moderators, Authors and Users:
Firstly, to the best of my knowledge, I have not been able to find many tools built around the concept of cumulative delta or pace of tape. While I know there are a couple projects, none to the magnitude of synthetically recreating these tools via an algorithm designed around basic calculus principles. While tools like Volume Delta are built in, they do not attempt to capture an accurate picture of aggregated orderflow from what I understand.
Secondly, it needs to be noted that tool aims to create an approximation of buying and selling pressure. To my knowledge it is not possible to create an accurate full picture, at least not within the limitations of Tradingview.
My scriptImplied Volatility vs Historical Volatility
**Uncheck Plot box**
IV > HV = Overvalued
IV = HV = Fair Value
IV > HV = Undervalued
1. Pair with IV Rank: Use IV vs HV to confirm the setup, but IV Rank (50+, 70+) tells you how “high” IV is relative to its own history.
2. Timeframe: Use daily charts — IV is not meaningful on intraday timeframes.
3. Avoid noise: Use a smoothed HV (e.g., 20-day) and don’t chase small crossovers — look for clear divergence.

CryptoNeo - Crypto Market Directionnal StrengthCryptoNeo – Crypto Market Directional Strength is a quantitative, multi-factor trend scoring tool designed to help traders identify the directional bias of the crypto market by aggregating key flow and sentiment signals into a single visual output.
This indicator is the result of multi-alpha signal research originally developed for a systematic trading strategy. It has now been optimized for discretionary traders who want to see real-time directional consensus across stablecoin flows, market structure shifts, and premium dynamics.
The script computes a Trend Score based on multiple real-time crypto signals. Each signal contributes to the score based on user-defined weights, and the result is visualized as color-coded columns on your chart, helping you quickly assess bullish or bearish strength.
Aggregated Signals:
Stablecoin Futures Flow (bullish/bearish) - Detects leveraged sentiment via stablecoin perpetual futures rates deviations.
Stablecoin Spot Flow (bullish/bearish) - Flags potential accumulation or distribution behavior in spot markets.
Stablecoin Market Cap Trend - Captures expansion or contraction in total stablecoin supply to indicate macro liquidity shifts.
USDC/USDT Rate Divergence - Identifies subtle pressure between the leading stablecoins, hinting at stress or capital flight.
Derivatives Overleverage Signal - Detects potentially dangerous funding-driven setups in the futures market.
Coinbase Premium Trend - Highlights differences between U.S. and global crypto prices, often a proxy for retail or institutional demand.
The score is plotted using the Directional Strength Score column chart:
🟢 Green – strong bullish alignment (score ≥ 3)
🟡 Yellow – mild bullish bias (score = 1–2)
⚪ White – neutral or indecisive (score ≈ 0)
🟠 Orange – mild bearish bias (score = –1 or –2)
🔴 Red – strong bearish alignment (score ≤ –3)
All components include weight inputs, allowing you to control how much influence each factor has on the final score, enabling you to personalize the indicator for different pairs, market conditions, or strategies.
Best to use For:
Traders focused on BTC, ETH, SOL, DOGE, and other large-cap cryptocurrencies
30-minute to 4-hour timeframes
Swing trading, trend confirmation, or sentiment filtering
Spotting potential trend shifts, fakeouts, or market exhaustion

CryptoNeo - Crypto Stablecoin MatrixThe CryptoNeo – Crypto Stablecoin Matrix is a forward-looking indicator that decodes broad crypto market sentiment by analyzing how stablecoins behave across spot and futures markets.
Stablecoins are the lifeblood of the crypto ecosystem, and how they move can offer early insight into future market direction. This tool leverages that behavior to forecast potential price action across major cryptocurrencies like BTC, ETH, SOL, DOGE, and other large-cap coins that tend to move in sync with the broader market.
Originally derived from a suite of alpha signals developed for a systematic crypto trading algorithm, this indicator compresses advanced stablecoin flow analytics into a clear and intuitive visual format — designed specifically for discretionary traders.
It is optimized for trading on the 30-minute to 4-hour timeframes, where the nuances of capital flow are most actionable. Whether you’re swing trading majors or scouting key pivot points, this tool provides a fresh edge rooted in stablecoin dynamics.
The Matrix is composed of four core components that signal changes in sentiment, capital flow, and market positioning:
1. Stablecoin Futures Flow (Bullish/Bearish)
Detects shifts in leveraged positioning in the futures market based on proprietary flow dynamics.
🟩 Green squares = bullish futures flow (long bias)
🟥 Red squares = bearish futures flow (short bias)
Helps identify directional sentiment through futures-driven stablecoin movement.
2. Stablecoin Spot Flow (Bullish/Bearish)
Analyzes momentum in spot market stablecoin activity to reveal potential accumulation or distribution.
🟢 Green circles = bullish spot flow (buying pressure)
🔴 Red circles = bearish spot flow (selling pressure)
Offers early signals of demand or profit-taking pressure.
3. Futures Oversold/Overbought Level 1
Identifies early signs of exhaustion or trend slowing based on leveraged market conditions.
🟢 Green diamonds = early oversold signal
🔴 Red diamonds = early overbought signal
Useful for catching subtle turning points or slowing momentum.
4. Futures Oversold/Overbought Level 2
Flags rare and extreme positioning events that may precede major reversals.
🟢 Large green diamonds = deep oversold condition
🔴 Large red diamonds = deep overbought condition
Highlights moments of extreme imbalance or sentiment peaks.
Customization & Flexibility
Adjustable sensitivity settings allow you to fine-tune:
Bullish and bearish Spot and Futures Flow
Thresholds for Level 1 and Level 2 Overbought/Oversold signals
This ensures traders can align signal responsiveness with their trading style and market conditions.
Best Used For:
Swing trading crypto majors (BTC, ETH, SOL, DOGE, etc.)
Timeframes between 30 minutes and 4 hours
Identifying trend reversals and accumulation zones
Tracking macro market sentiment using stablecoin behavior
Institutional Volume Profile# Institutional Volume Profile (IVP) - Advanced Volume Analysis Indicator
## Overview
The Institutional Volume Profile (IVP) is a sophisticated technical analysis tool that combines traditional volume profile analysis with institutional volume detection algorithms. This indicator helps traders identify key price levels where significant institutional activity has occurred, providing insights into market structure and potential support/resistance zones.
## Key Features
### 🎯 Volume Profile Analysis
- **Point of Control (POC)**: Identifies the price level with the highest volume activity
- **Value Area**: Highlights the price range containing a specified percentage (default 70%) of total volume
- **Multi-Row Distribution**: Displays volume distribution across 10-50 price levels for detailed analysis
- **Customizable Period**: Analyze volume profiles over 10-500 bars
### 🏛️ Institutional Volume Detection
- **Pocket Pivot Volume (PPV)**: Detects bullish institutional buying when up-volume exceeds recent down-volume peaks
- **Pivot Negative Volume (PNV)**: Identifies bearish institutional selling when down-volume exceeds recent up-volume peaks
- **Accumulation Detection**: Spots potential accumulation phases with high volume and narrow price ranges
- **Distribution Analysis**: Identifies distribution patterns with high volume but minimal price movement

## How It Works
### Volume Distribution Algorithm
The indicator analyzes each bar within the specified period and distributes its volume proportionally across the price levels it touches. This creates an accurate representation of where trading activity has been concentrated.
### Institutional Detection Logic
- **PPV Trigger**: Current up-bar volume > highest down-volume in lookback period + above volume MA
- **PNV Trigger**: Current down-bar volume > highest up-volume in lookback period + above volume MA
- **Accumulation**: High volume + narrow range + bullish close
- **Distribution**: Very high volume + minimal price movement
### Value Area Calculation
Starting from the POC, the algorithm expands both upward and downward, adding volume until reaching the specified percentage of total volume (default 70%).
## Configuration Parameters
### Profile Settings
- **Profile Period**: 10-500 bars (default: 50)
- **Number of Rows**: 10-50 levels (default: 24)
- **Profile Width**: 10-100% of screen (default: 30%)
- **Value Area %**: 50-90% (default: 70%)
### Institutional Analysis
- **PPV Lookback Days**: 5-20 periods (default: 10)
- **Volume MA Length**: 10-200 periods (default: 50)
- **Institutional Threshold**: 1.0-2.0x multiplier (default: 1.2)
### Visual Controls

- **Thick Horizontal Bars**: High volume nodes (strong support/resistance)
- **Thin Horizontal Bars**: Low volume nodes (weak levels)
- **White Line (POC)**: Strongest support/resistance level
- **Blue Highlighted Area**: Value Area (fair value zone)
### Institutional Signals
- **Blue Triangles (PPV)**: Bullish institutional buying detected
- **Orange Triangles (PNV)**: Bearish institutional selling detected
- **Color-Coded Bars**: Different colors indicate institutional activity types
### Color Scheme Meanings
- **Heat Map**: Red (high volume) → Orange → Yellow → Gray (low volume)
- **Institutional**: Blue (PPV), Orange (PNV), Aqua (Accumulation), Yellow (Distribution)
- **Monochrome**: Grayscale intensity based on volume
- **Rainbow**: Color-coded by price level position
## Trading Applications
### Support and Resistance
- POC acts as dynamic support/resistance
- High volume nodes indicate strong price levels
- Low volume areas suggest potential breakout zones
