ICT Anchored Market Structures with Validation [LuxAlgo]The ICT Anchored Market Structures with Validation indicator is an advanced iteration of the original Pure-Price-Action-Structures tool, designed for price action traders.
It systematically tracks and validates key price action structures, distinguishing between true structural shifts/breaks and short-term sweeps to enhance trend and reversal analysis. The indicator automatically highlights structural points, confirms breakouts, identifies sweeps, and provides clear visual cues for short-term, intermediate-term, and long-term market structures.
A distinctive feature of this indicator is its exclusive reliance on price patterns. It does not depend on any user-defined input, ensuring that its analysis remains robust, objective, and uninfluenced by user bias, making it an effective tool for understanding market dynamics.
🔶 USAGE
Market structure is a cornerstone of price action analysis. This script automatically detects real-time market structures across short-term, intermediate-term, and long-term levels, simplifying trend analysis for traders. It assists in identifying both trend reversals and continuations with greater clarity.
Market structure shifts and breaks help traders identify changes in trend direction. A shift signals a potential reversal, often occurring when a swing high or low is breached, suggesting a transition in trend. A break, on the other hand, confirms the continuation of an established trend, reinforcing the current direction. Recognizing these shifts and breaks allows traders to anticipate price movement with greater accuracy.
It’s important to note that while a CHoCH may signal a potential trend reversal and a BoS suggests a continuation of the prevailing trend, neither guarantees a complete reversal or continuation. In some cases, CHoCH and BoS levels may act as liquidity zones or areas of consolidation rather than indicating a clear shift or continuation in market direction. The indicator’s validation component helps confirm whether the detected CHoCH and BoS are true breakouts or merely liquidity sweeps.
🔶 DETAILS
🔹 Market Structures
Market structures are derived from price action analysis, focusing on identifying key levels and patterns in the market. Swing point detection, a fundamental concept in ICT trading methodologies and teachings, plays a central role in this approach.
Swing points are automatically identified based exclusively on market movements, without requiring any user-defined input.
🔹 Utilizing Swing Points
Swing points are not identified in real-time as they form. Short-term swing points may appear with a delay of up to one bar, while the identification of intermediate and long-term swing points is entirely dependent on subsequent market movements. Importantly, this detection process is not influenced by any user-defined input, relying solely on pure price action. As a result, swing points are generally not intended for real-time trading scenarios.
Instead, traders often analyze historical swing points to understand market trends and identify potential entry and exit opportunities. By examining swing highs and lows, traders can:
Recognize Trends: Swing highs and lows provide insight into trend direction. Higher swing highs and higher swing lows signify an uptrend, while lower swing highs and lower swing lows indicate a downtrend.
Identify Support and Resistance Levels: Swing highs often act as resistance levels, referred to as Buyside Liquidity Levels in ICT terminology, while swing lows function as support levels, also known as Sellside Liquidity Levels. Traders can leverage these levels to plan their trade entries and exits.
Spot Reversal Patterns: Swing points can form key reversal patterns, such as double tops or bottoms, head and shoulders, and triangles. Recognizing these patterns can indicate potential trend reversals, enabling traders to adjust their strategies effectively.
Set Stop Loss and Take Profit Levels: In ICT teachings, swing levels represent price points with expected clusters of buy or sell orders. Traders can target these liquidity levels/pools for position accumulation or distribution, using swing points to define stop loss and take profit levels in their trades.
Overall, swing points provide valuable information about market dynamics and can assist traders in making more informed trading decisions.
🔹 Logic of Validation
The validation process in this script determines whether a detected market structure shift or break represents a confirmed breakout or a sweep.
The breakout is confirmed when the close price is significantly outside the deviation range of the last detected structural price. This deviation range is defined by the 17-period Average True Range (ATR), which creates a buffer around the detected market structure shift or break.
A sweep occurs when the price breaches the structural level within the deviation range but does not confirm a breakout. In this case, the label is updated to 'SWEEP.'
A visual box is created to represent the price range where the breakout or sweep occurs. If the validation process continues, the box is updated. This box visually highlights the price range involved in a sweep, helping traders identify liquidity events on the chart.
🔶 SETTINGS
The settings for Short-Term, Intermediate-Term, and Long-Term Structures are organized into groups, allowing users to customize swing points, market structures, and visual styles for each.
🔹 Structures
Swings and Size: Enables or disables the display of swing highs and lows, assigns icons to represent the structures, and adjusts the size of the icons.
Market Structures: Toggles the visibility of market structure lines.
Market Structure Validation: Enable or disable validation to distinguish true breakouts from liquidity sweeps.
Market Structure Labels: Displays or hides labels indicating the type of market structure.
Line Style and Width: Allows customization of the style and width of the lines representing market structures.
Swing and Line Colors: Provides options to adjust the colors of swing icons, market structure lines, and labels for better visualization.

3D Candles (Zeiierman)█ Overview
3D Candles (Zeiierman) is a unique 3D take on classic candlesticks, offering a fresh, high-clarity way to visualize price action directly on your chart. Visualizing price in alternative ways can help traders interpret the same data differently and potentially gain a new perspective.
█ How It Works
⚪ 3D Body Construction
For each bar, the script computes the candle body (open/close bounds), then projects a top face offset by a depth amount. The depth is proportional to that candle’s high–low range, so it looks consistent across symbols with different prices/precisions.
rng = math.max(1e-10, high - low ) // candle range
depthMag = rng * depthPct * factorMag // % of range, shaped by tilt amount
depth = depthMag * factorSign // direction from dev (up/down)
depthPct → how “thick” the 3D effect is, as a % of each candle’s own range.
factorMag → scales the effect based on your tilt input (dev), with a smooth curve so small tilts still show.
factorSign → applies the direction of the tilt (up or down).
⚪ Tilt & Perspective
Tilt is controlled by dev and translated into a gentle perspective factor:
slope = (4.0 * math.abs(dev)) / width
factorMag = math.pow(math.min(1.0, slope), 0.5) // sqrt softens response
factorSign = dev == 0 ? 0.0 : math.sign(dev) // direction (up/down)
Larger dev → stronger 3D presence (up to a cap).
The square-root curve makes small dev values noticeable without overdoing it.
█ How to Use
Traders can use 3D Candles just like regular candlesticks. The difference is the 3D visualization, which can broaden your view and help you notice price behavior from a fresh perspective.
⚪ Quick setup (dual-view):
Split your TradingView layout into two synchronized charts.
Right pane: keep your standard candlestick or bar chart for live execution.
Left pane: add 3D Candles (Zeiierman) to compare the same symbol/timeframe.
Observe differences: the 3D rendering can make expansion/contraction and body emphasis easier to spot at a glance.
█ Go Full 3D
Take the experience further by pairing 3D Candles (Zeiierman) with Volume Profile 3D (Zeiierman) , a perfect complement that shows where activity is concentrated, while your 3D candles show how the price unfolded.
█ Settings
Candles — How many 3D candles to draw. Higher values draw more shapes and may impact performance on slower machines.
Block Width (bars) — Visual thickness of each 3D candle along the x-axis. Larger values look chunkier but can overlap more.
Up/Down — Controls the tilt and strength of the 3D top face.
3D depth (% of range) — Thickness of the 3D effect as a percentage of each candle’s own high–low range. Larger values exaggerate the depth.

Kalman Exponentialy Weighted Moving Average | MisinkoMasterThe Kalman Exponentialy Weighted Moving Average is a technical analysis tool providing users with more responsive and smoother signals, providing crystal-clear signals and giving investors valuable insights on market trends, however it could be used in many cases.
A deeper dive into the indicator:
When going through my creation of strategies, I had stumbled on an indicator called "EWMA", which worked decently, but it was far too simple in my opinion so I decided to combine the EMA & WMA, but with a little more complexity, and it has worked .
I began by learning how both MAs work, I already knew how WMA works, but EMA I did not.
After learning both I found out they were quite simple in principle and that there was a way to combine them in such way that you would get really good signals, however it was way too noisy.
While it could avoid major dumps that were not avoided by most indicators, it would lose that edge because of being too noisy.
After testing out many conditions, combinations & more, the best working one was this one:
WMA > KEWMA = long
WMA < KEWMA = short
I will explain this later, but this gave fast signals, and while it still was noisy it was better then before.
To smooth it out, I started testing price filters => Gaussian Filter and many more were tested out, but they either slowed it down to the point it was no longer of much use, or did not smooth it at all.
After testing the Kalman filter on this thing, I was shocked.
It was just right and made the indicator a lot better, smoothed it and kept most of the responsivness it had.
Now to the big question: "How is it calculated?"
Now first it needs to calculate the Kalman source, which smooths the source which will be used.
After that, we calculate the Weighted Moving Average for " n " period on the Kalman source.
Now that we have our WMA values, we need to calculate " a ".
a is calculated in the following formula:
a = 2/(1+ n )
where n is the user defined length
Now for the last part:
KEWMA = WMAyesterday * (1-a) + WMAtoday * a
This creates a very accurate and reactive indicator, that can prove useful in many uses, beyond those I will and did talk about.
For the trend logic as mentioned before:
Long = WMA > KEWMA
Short = WMA < KEWMA
This worked best, but you might find better ways of using it.
I think that is all I have to say about it, I left it open source so you can all code it in your strategies and play around with it.
Enjoy Gs!
Initial Balance Breakout + FibThe IB High / Low + Auto-Fib indicator automatically plots the Initial Balance range and a Fibonacci projection for each trading day.
Define your IB start and end times (e.g., 09:30–10:30).
The indicator marks the IB High and IB Low from that session and extends them to the session close.
It keeps the last N days visible for context.
When price breaks outside the IB range, it automatically plots a Fibonacci retracement/extension from the opposite IB side to the breakout, using levels 0, 0.236, 0.382, 0.5, 0.618, 0.88, 1.
The Fib updates dynamically as the breakout extends, and labels are neatly aligned on the right side of the chart for clarity.
Ideal for traders who monitor Initial Balance breaks, range expansions, and Fibonacci reaction levels throughout the trading session.
Volatility Channel Oscillator█ OVERVIEW
"Volatility Channel Oscillator" is a technical indicator that analyzes price volatility relative to dynamic price channels, displaying an oscillator, its moving average, and signals based on crossovers and divergences. The indicator offers customizable overbought and oversold levels, gradient visualization, and divergence detection, supported by alerts for key signals.
█ CONCEPTS
The VCO indicator creates dynamic price channels based on a moving average of the price (calculated as the arithmetic mean of the high and low prices: (high + low) / 2) and market volatility (measured as the average candle range and body size). These channels are not displayed on the chart but are used to calculate the oscillator value, which reflects the position of the closing price relative to the channel width, scaled to a range from -100 to +100, with the zero line as the central point. A moving average of the oscillator (SMA) smooths its values, enabling signals based on crossovers with the zero line or overbought/oversold levels. The indicator also detects divergences between price and the oscillator, which may indicate potential trend reversals. VCO is useful for identifying market momentum, reversal points, and trend confirmation, especially when combined with other technical analysis tools.
█ FEATURES
- Volatility Channels: Calculates invisible chart boundaries based on a simple moving average (SMA) of the price (high + low) / 2 and volatility (average candle range and body). The length parameter (default 30) sets the SMA length, and scale (default 200%) adjusts the channel width.
- Oscillator: Determines the oscillator value in the range of -100 to +100, indicating the closing price's position relative to the volatility channel. Displayed with dynamic coloring (green for positive values, red for negative).
- Oscillator Moving Average: A simple moving average (SMA) of the oscillator values, smoothing its movements. The signalLength parameter (default 20) defines the SMA length. Displayed in yellow with an optional gradient.
- Overbought/Oversold Levels: Configurable thresholds for the oscillator (overbought, default 50; oversold, default -50) and its moving average (maOverbought, default 30; maOversold, default -30), shown as horizontal lines with optional gradients. Band colors change dynamically (red for overbought, green for oversold, gray for neutral) based on the moving average's position relative to maOverbought/maOversold, reinforcing other signals.
- Divergences: Detects bullish (price forms a lower low, oscillator a higher low) and bearish (price forms a higher high, oscillator a lower high) divergences using pivots (pivotLength, default 2). Divergences are displayed with a delay equal to the pivot length; larger lengths increase reliability but delay signals. Use as additional confirmation.
Signals:
- Overbought/Oversold Crossovers: Green triangles (buy) when the oscillator crosses above the oversold level, red triangles (sell) when it crosses below the overbought level.
- Zero Line Crossovers: Buy/sell signals when the oscillator crosses the zero line upward (buy) or downward (sell).
- Moving Average Crossovers: Buy/sell signals when the oscillator's moving average crosses the zero line or the maOverbought/maOversold levels. Dynamic band color changes (red/green) at these crossovers reinforce other signals.
- Visualization: Gradient lines for the oscillator, its moving average, overbought/oversold levels, and zero line, with adjustable transparency. Gradient fill between the oscillator and zero line.
Divergence Labels: "Bull" (bullish) and "Bear" (bearish) labels with customizable color and transparency.
- Alerts: Built-in alerts for divergences, overbought/oversold crossovers, and zero line crossovers by the oscillator and its moving average.
█ HOW TO USE
Add to Chart: Apply the indicator via Pine Editor or the Indicators menu on TradingView.
Configure Settings:
- Channel and Oscillator Settings: Adjust the channel SMA length (length, default 30) and channel scaling (scale, default 200%). Increase scale for high-volatility markets.
- Threshold Levels: Set oscillator overbought (overbought, default 50) and oversold (oversold, default -50) levels, and moving average thresholds (maOverbought, default 30; maOversold, default -30).
- Divergence Settings: Enable/disable divergence detection (calculateDivergence) and set pivot length (pivotLength, default 2). Larger values increase reliability but delay signals.
- Signal Settings: Choose signal types (signalType): overbought/oversold, zero line, moving average, or all.
- Styling: Customize colors for the oscillator, moving average, horizontal levels, and divergence labels. Adjust gradient and fill transparency.
Interpreting Signals:
- Buy Signals: Green triangles below the bar when the oscillator or its moving average crosses above the oversold level or zero line.
- Sell Signals: Red triangles above the bar when the oscillator or its moving average crosses below the overbought level or zero line.
- Moving Average Signals: Green/red triangles when the moving average crosses maOverbought/maOversold levels, indicating potential reversals or trend continuation. Dynamic band color changes (red for overbought, green for oversold) at these crossovers reinforce other signals.
- Divergences: "Bull" (bullish) and "Bear" (bearish) labels indicate potential trend reversals with a delay based on pivot length. Use as confirmation.
- Overbought/Oversold Levels: Monitor price reactions in these zones as potential reversal points. Dynamic band color changes based on the moving average reinforce signals.
Signal Confirmation: Use VCO with other tools, such as pivot levels (for key turning points) or Fibonacci levels (for support/resistance zones).
█ APPLICATIONS
- Trend Trading: Zero line crossovers by the oscillator or its moving average identify momentum in uptrends or downtrends.
- Range Trading: Overbought/oversold levels help identify entry/exit points in sideways markets.
- Divergences: Use bullish/bearish divergences as additional confirmation of reversals, especially near key price levels.
- Trend Identification: To analyze trends over a longer perspective, increase the moving average length (signalLength) for more stable signals.
█ NOTES
- Test the indicator across different timeframes and markets to optimize parameters, such as length and scale, for your trading style.
- In strong trends, overbought/oversold levels may persist, requiring additional signal verification.
- Divergences are more reliable on higher timeframes (H4, D1), where market noise is reduced, but their delay requires caution.
- In low-liquidity markets, signals may be less effective, so use on high-liquidity assets is recommended.
Lorentzian Harmonic Flow - Temporal Market Dynamic Lorentzian Harmonic Flow - Temporal Market Dynamic (⚡LHF)
By: DskyzInvestments
What this is
LHF Pro is a research‑grade analytical instrument that models market time as a compressible medium , extracts directional flow in curved time using heavy‑tailed kernels, and consults a history‑based memory bank for context before synthesizing a final, bounded probabilistic score . It is not a mashup; each subsystem is mathematically coupled to a single clock (time dilation via gamma) and a single lens (Lorentzian heavy‑tailed weighting). This script is dense in logic (and therefore heavy) because it prioritizes rigor, interpretability, and visual clarity.
Intended use
Education and research. This tool expresses state recognition and regime context—not guarantees. It does not place orders. It is fully functional as published and contains no placeholders. Nothing herein is financial advice.
Why this is original and useful
Curved time: Markets do not move at a constant pace. LHF Pro computes a Lorentz‑style gamma (γ) from relative speed so its analytical windows contract when the tape accelerates and relax when it slows.
Heavy‑tailed lens: Lorentzian kernels weight information with fat tails to respect rare but consequential extremes (unlike Gaussian decay).
Memory of regimes: A K‑nearest‑neighbors engine works in a multi‑feature space using Lorentz kernels per dimension and exponential age fade , returning a memory bias (directional expectation) and assurance (confidence mass).
One ecosystem: Squeeze, TCI, flow, acceleration, and memory live on the same clock and blend into a single final_score —visualized and documented on the dashboard.
Cognitive map: A 2D heat map projects memory resonance by age and flow regime, making “where the past is speaking” visible.
Shadow portfolio metaphor: Neighbor outcomes act like tiny hypothetical positions whose weighted average forms an educational pressure gauge (no execution, purely didactic).
Mathematical framework (full transparency)
1) Returns, volatility, and speed‑of‑market
Log return: rₜ = ln(closeₜ / closeₜ₋₁)
Realized vol: rv = stdev(r, vol_len); vol‑of‑vol: burst = |rv − rv |
Speed‑of‑market (analog to c): c = c_multiplier × (EMA(rv) + 0.5 × EMA(burst) + ε)
2) Trend velocity and Lorentz gamma (time dilation)
Trend velocity: v = |close − close | / (vel_len × ATR)
Relative speed: v_rel = v / c
Gamma: γ = 1 / √(1 − v_rel²), stabilized by caps (e.g., ≤10)
Interpretation: γ > 1 compresses market time → use shorter effective windows.
3) Adaptive temporal scale
Adaptive length: L = base_len / γ^power (bounded for safety)
Harmonic horizons: Lₛ = L × short_ratio, Lₘ = L × mid_ratio, Lₗ = L × long_ratio
4) Lorentzian smoothing and Harmonic Flow
Kernel weight per lag i: wᵢ = 1 / (1 + (d/γ)²), d = i/L
Horizon baselines: lw_h = Σ wᵢ·price / Σ wᵢ
Z‑deviation: z_h = (close − lw_h)/ATR
Harmonic Flow (HFL): HFL = (w_short·zₛ + w_mid·zₘ + w_long·zₗ) / (w_short + w_mid + w_long)
5) Flow kinematics
Velocity: HFL_vel = HFL − HFL
Acceleration (curvature): HFL_acc = HFL − 2·HFL + HFL
6) Squeeze and temporal compression
Bollinger width vs Keltner width using L
Squeeze: BB_width < KC_width × squeeze_mult
Temporal Compression Index: TCI = base_len / L; TCI > 1 ⇒ compressed time
7) Entropy (regime complexity)
Shannon‑inspired proxy on |log returns| with numerical safeguards and smoothing. Higher entropy → more chaotic regime.
8) Memory bank and Lorentzian k‑NN
Feature vector (5D):
Outcomes stored: forward returns at H5, H13, H34
Per‑dimension similarity: k(Δ) = 1 / (1 + Δ²), weighted by user’s feature weights
Age fading: weight_age = mem_fade^age_bars
Neighbor score: sᵢ = similarityᵢ × weight_ageᵢ
Memory bias: mem_bias = Σ sᵢ·outcomeᵢ / Σ sᵢ
Assurance: mem_assurance = Σ sᵢ (confidence mass)
Normalization: mem_bias normalized by ATR and clamped into band
Shadow portfolio metaphor: neighbors behave like micro‑positions; their weighted net forward return becomes a continuous, adaptive expectation.
9) Blended score and breakout proxy
Blend factor: α_mem = 0.45 + 0.15 × (γ − 1)
Final score: final_score = (1−α_mem)·tanh(HFL / (flow_thr·1.5)) + α_mem·tanh(mem_bias_norm)
Breakout probability (bounded): energy = cap(TCI−1) + |HFL_acc|×k + cap(γ−1)×k + cap(mem_assurance)×k; breakout_prob = sigmoid(energy). Caps avoid runaway “100%” readings.
Inputs — every control, purpose, mechanics, and tuning
🔮 Lorentz Core
Auto‑Adapt (Vol/Entropy): On = L responds to γ and entropy (breathes with regime), Off = static testing.
Base Length: Calm‑market anchor horizon. Lower (21–28) for fast tapes; higher (55–89+) for slow.
Velocity Window (vel_len): Bars used in v. Shorter = more reactive γ; longer = steadier.
Volatility Window (vol_len): Bars used for rv/burst (c). Shorter = more sensitive c.
Speed‑of‑Market Multiplier (c_multiplier): Raises/lowers c. Lower values → easier γ spikes (more adaptation). Aim for strong trends to peak around γ ≈ 2–4.
Gamma Compression Power: Exponent of γ in L. <1 softens; >1 amplifies adaptation swings.
Max Kernel Span: Upper bound on smoothing loop (quality vs CPU).
🎼 Harmonic Flow
Short/Mid/Long Horizon Ratios: Partition L into fast/medium/slow views. Smaller short_ratio → faster reaction; larger long_ratio → sturdier bias.
Weights (w_short/w_mid/w_long): Governs HFL blend. Higher w_short → nimble; higher w_long → stable.
📈 Signals
Squeeze Strictness: Threshold for BB1 = compressed (coiled spring); <1 = dilated.
v/c: Relative speed; near 1 denotes extreme pacing. Diagnostic only.
Entropy: Regime complexity; high entropy suggests caution, smaller size, or waiting for order to return.
HFL: Curved‑time directional flow; sign and magnitude are the instantaneous bias.
HFL_acc: Curvature; spikes often accompany regime ignition post‑squeeze.
Mem Bias: Directional expectation from historical analogs (ATR‑normalized, bounded). Aligns or conflicts with HFL.
Assurance: Confidence mass from neighbors; higher → more reliable memory bias.
Squeeze: ON/RELEASE/OFF from BB
Swing Points LiquiditySwing Points Liquidity
Unlock advanced swing detection and liquidity zone marking for smarter trading decisions.
Overview:
Swing Points Liquidity automatically identifies key swing highs and swing lows using a five-candle “palm” structure, marking each significant price turn with precise labels: “BSL swing high” for potential bearish liquidity and “SSL swing low” for potential bullish liquidity. This transparent swing logic provides a robust way to highlight areas where price is most likely to react—making it an invaluable tool for traders applying Smart Money Concepts, supply and demand, or liquidity-based strategies.
How It Works:
The indicator scans every candle on your chart to detect and label swing highs and lows.
A swing high (“BSL swing high”) is identified when a central candle’s high is greater than the highs of the previous two and next two candles.
A swing low (“SSL swing low”) is identified when a central candle’s low is lower than the lows of the previous two and next two candles.
Labels are plotted for every detected swing point, providing clear visualization of important market liquidity levels on any symbol and timeframe.
How to Use:
Liquidity levels marked by the indicator are potential price reversal zones. To optimize your entries, combine these levels with confirmation signals such as reversal candlestick patterns, order blocks, or fair value gaps (FVGs).
When you see a “BSL swing high” or “SSL swing low” label, observe the price action at that area—if a reliable reversal pattern or order block/FVG forms, it can signal a high-probability trade opportunity.
These marked liquidity swings are also excellent for locating confluence zones, setting stop losses, and identifying where institutional activity or smart money may trigger significant moves. Always use market structure and price action in conjunction with these levels for greater consistency and confidence in your trading.
Features:
Customizable label display for swing highs (BSL) and swing lows (SSL)
Automatic detection using robust 5-candle palm logic
Works with all symbols and chart timeframes
Lightweight, clear visual style—easy for manual and algorithmic traders
Notes:
The indicator requires at least two candles both before and after each swing point, so labels will start appearing after enough historical data is loaded.
For deeper historical analysis, simply scroll left or zoom out on your chart to load more candles—the indicator will automatically process and display swing points on all available data.
Empower your trading with the clarity of Swing Points Liquidity—boost your edge with sharper entries, exits, and liquidity-driven setups.
We Buy / We Sell - #TheStrat SignalsWe Buy / We Sell - #TheStrat SignalsDescription
This indicator is inspired by the #TheStrat methodology from Rob Smith, designed to identify high-probability "We Buy" (bullish) and "We Sell" (bearish) signals for trading stocks, ETFs, or futures like AMEX:SPY or $VSAT. It combines price action reversal patterns, higher timeframe continuity (HTFC), and optional broadening formation (BF) breaks to time entries with market momentum. Key Features: We Buy Signals: Triggered on a 2d-2u reversal (bearish to bullish candle) when the higher timeframe (HTF) is bullish (green) and optionally at a BF bottom (pivot low break). Labeled as "We Buy" at the candle’s low with a green triangle.
We Sell Signals: Triggered on a 2u-2d reversal (bullish to bearish candle) when the HTF is bearish (red) and optionally at a BF top (pivot high break). Labeled as "We Sell" at the candle’s high with a red triangle.
Candle Numbering: Displays #TheStrat candle types (1=Inside, 2u=Up, 2d=Down, 3=Outside) for context.
Debug Labels: Enabled by default, showing why signals don’t fire (e.g., "No HTFC Buy" if HTF isn’t bullish).
Partial Signals: Optional faint circles for 2d-2u or 2u-2d reversals (without HTFC/BF), disabled by default.
HTFC Background: Green (HTF bullish) or red (HTF bearish) background for timeframe alignment.
How It Works
Based on #TheStrat, the indicator seeks evidence of aggressive buying ("We Buy") or selling ("We Sell") by analyzing: Reversal Patterns: 2d-2u (We Buy): A bearish directional candle (2d) followed by a bullish directional candle (2u), signaling a potential bullish reversal.
2u-2d (We Sell): A bullish directional candle (2u) followed by a bearish directional candle (2d), signaling a potential bearish reversal.
Higher Timeframe Continuity (HTFC): We Buy requires the HTF (e.g., 1H or Daily) to close above its open (bullish).
We Sell requires the HTF to close below its open (bearish).
Broadening Formation (BF): Optional pivot high/low breaks approximate BF extremes (tops for We Sell, bottoms for We Buy).
Can be disabled (use_bf=false) for more frequent signals.
How to Use Setup: Apply to a 5min chart of a liquid asset (e.g., AMEX:SPY , NASDAQ:VSAT ) for intraday trading, or higher timeframes for swing trading.
Ensure sufficient chart history (TradingView > Chart Settings > Max Bars > 1000+).
Settings: Higher Timeframe (htf): Default "60" (1H). Try "15" (15min) for faster signals or "D" (Daily) for swing trades.
Pivot Lookback Length (pivot_len): Default 3. Lower to 1 for more signals, higher for stricter BF breaks.
Require Broadening Formation (use_bf): Default true. Set to false to skip BF checks, increasing signal frequency.
Show We Buy/We Sell Labels: Default true. Shows "We Buy" or "We Sell" on signal candles.
Show Candle Numbers: Default true. Displays 1/2u/2d/3 for #TheStrat context.
Show Debug Labels: Default true. Shows "No HTFC Buy", "No BF Buy", etc., to diagnose missing signals.
Show Partial Signals: Default false. Enable to show faint circles for 2d-2u/2u-2d reversals without HTFC/BF.
Trading: We Buy: Enter long on a green "We Buy" label (with triangle). Set stops below the signal candle’s low. Target BF highs or resistance.
We Sell: Enter short on a red "We Sell" label (with triangle). Set stops above the signal candle’s high. Target BF lows or support.
Use debug labels to understand why signals don’t fire (e.g., "No HTFC Buy" means HTF isn’t bullish).
Partial signals (faint circles) indicate reversals without full conditions, useful for discretionary setups.
Alerts: Right-click the indicator > "Add Alert" on we_buy or we_sell for real-time notifications.
Tips Best Assets: Use on liquid tickers like AMEX:SPY , NASDAQ:QQQ , or NASDAQ:VSAT
Volatility: Signals are more frequent in trending or volatile markets. Check historical periods (e.g., September 2025) for testing.
Risk Management: Always use stops (e.g., 1-2% risk per trade) and validate signals with market context (e.g., sector/index alignment).
Learning #TheStrat: Study Rob Smith’s #TheStrat
Troubleshooting
No Signals? Check debug labels (e.g., "No HTFC Buy" means HTF isn’t bullish). Adjust htf (e.g., "15" or "D").
Set use_bf=false or lower pivot_len to 1 for more signals.
Ensure reversals (2d-2u or 2u-2d) are present (check candle numbers).
Test on volatile periods or liquid tickers.
No Partial Signals? Enable show_partial in settings to see faint circles for 2d-2u/2u-2d reversals.
Confirm reversal patterns exist (e.g., "2d" → "2u" in candle numbers).

overlay=true → means the indicator will appear directly on the price chart, not in a separate panel.
2️⃣ Detecting Swing Points
len = input.int(5, "Swing Length")
This input defines how many candles around a point must be higher/lower to qualify as a swing high or swing low.
Example: len=5 means the candle must be the highest (or lowest) among the last and next 5 candles.
var float ph1 = na
var float ph2 = na
var float pl1 = na
var float pl2 = na
These variables store the two most recent swing highs (ph1, ph2) and swing lows (pl1, pl2).
We need these pairs of points to draw our trendlines.
3️⃣ Updating Swing Points
if ta.pivothigh(high, len, len)
ph2 := ph1
ph1 := high
if ta.pivotlow(low, len, len)
pl2 := pl1
pl1 := low
ta.pivothigh() detects a local resistance (swing high).
ta.pivotlow() detects a local support (swing low).
Every time a new swing point is found, the previous one moves to ph2/pl2, and the latest becomes ph1/pl1.
4️⃣ Drawing the Trendlines
var line upLine = na
var line downLine = na
if not na(pl1) and not na(pl2)
line.delete(upLine)
upLine := line.new(bar_index - len*2, pl2, bar_index - len, pl1, color=color.new(color.green, 0), width=2)
if not na(ph1) and not na(ph2)
line.delete(downLine)
downLine := line.new(bar_index - len*2, ph2, bar_index - len, ph1, color=color.new(color.red, 0), width=2)
When both swing points are available:
Green line → connects swing lows → support trendline
Red line → connects swing highs → resistance trendline
The previous trendline is deleted and replaced with the newest one to keep the chart clean.
5️⃣ Getting the Current Trendline Value
upValue = na(upLine) ? na : line.get_y1(upLine) + (line.get_y2(upLine) - line.get_y1(upLine)) / (line.get_x2(upLine) - line.get_x1(upLine)) * (bar_index - line.get_x1(upLine))
downValue = na(downLine) ? na : line.get_y1(downLine) + (line.get_y2(downLine) - line.get_y1(downLine)) / (line.get_x2(downLine) - line.get_x1(downLine)) * (bar_index - line.get_x1(downLine))
This formula calculates the exact Y-value (price) of each trendline at the current candle’s position.
It’s a simple line equation: y = mx + c — finds where the current bar intersects the line.
6️⃣ Breakout Conditions
buySignal = not na(upValue) and close > upValue and close <= upValue
sellSignal = not na(downValue) and close < downValue and close >= downValue
Buy Signal:
Price closes above the support trendline (green).
Previous candle was below it.
→ This confirms an upward breakout.
Sell Signal:
Price closes below the resistance trendline (red).
Previous candle was above it.
→ This confirms a downward breakout.
7️⃣ Plotting the Signals
plotshape(buySignal, title="Buy Signal", style=shape.triangleup, color=color.new(color.green, 0), size=size.large, location=location.belowbar, text="BUY")
plotshape(sellSignal, title="Sell Signal", style=shape.triangledown, color=color.new(color.red, 0), size=size.large, location=location.abovebar, text="SELL")
When a breakout occurs:
🟢 Triangle Up below the candle = BUY Signal
🔴 Triangle Down above the candle = SELL Signal
8️⃣ Alert Conditions (for TradingView Alerts)
alertcondition(buySignal, title="Buy Breakout", message="Trendline Breakout UP - Buy Signal")
alertcondition(sellSignal, title="Sell Breakdown", message="Trendline Breakout DOWN - Sell Signal")
These allow you to set up TradingView alerts for automatic notifications.
When buySignal or sellSignal triggers, you’ll receive a popup, message, or sound alert.

Understanding the Zones
Supply Zones (Red):
Created from bearish patterns (Tweezer Tops, Kangaroo Bears). Price made a high attempt to push higher, but was rejected. These become resistance areas where sellers may step in again.
Demand Zones (Green):
Created from bullish patterns (Tweezer Bottoms, Kangaroo Bulls). Price made a low with strong rejection. These become support areas where buyers may step in again.
Zone Quality Indicators:
• White border = Fresh zone, not tested yet
• Gray border = Zone expired or invalidated
• Thin zones (tight range) = Better risk/reward ratio
• Thick zones = Less precise, wider stop required
Trading Applications
Reversal Trading - Enter at pattern detection with tight stops
Zone Retest Trading - Wait for retests of established zones
Trend Confluence - Trade only when patterns align with trend
Risk Management - Use zone boundaries for stop placement
Target Setting - Opposite zones become profit targets
Pro Tips
Best signals occur when pattern + zone retest + trend all align
Lower timeframes = more signals but more noise
Higher timeframes = fewer but more reliable signals
Start with default settings, adjust based on your market
Combine with other analysis (structure, key levels, etc.)
Use alerts to avoid staring at charts all day
Important Notes
Not all patterns will lead to successful trades
Use proper risk management and position sizing
Patterns work best in trending or range-bound markets
Very choppy conditions may produce lower-quality signals
Always confirm with your own analysis before trading

The relative strength ranking (as reported in Investor's Business Daily) is no less than 70, and preferably in the 80s or 90s, which will generally be the case with the better selections.
Z-Score Momentum | MisinkoMasterThe Z-Score Momentum is a new trend analysis indicator designed to catch reversals, and shifts in trends by comparing the "positive" and "negative" momentum by using the Z-Score.
This approach helps traders and investors get unique insight into the market of not just Crypto, but any market.
A deeper dive into the indicator
First, I want to cover the "Why?", as I believe it will ease of the part of the calculation to make it easier to understand, as by then you will understand how it fits the puzzle.
I had an attempt to create a momentum oscillator that would catch reversals and provide high tier accuracy while maintaining the main part => the speed.
I thought back to many concepts, divergences between averages?
- Did not work
Maybe a MACD rework?
- Did not work with what I tried :(
So I thought about statistics, Standard Deviation, Z-Score, Sharpe/Sortino/Omega ratio...
Wait, was that the Z-Score? I only tried the For Loop version of it :O
So on my way back from school I formulated a concept (originaly not like this but to that later) that would attempt to use the Z-Score as an accurate momentum oscillator.
Many ideas were falling out of the blue, but not many worked.
After almost giving up on this, and going to go back to developing my strategies, I tried one last thing:
What if we use divergences in the average, formulated like a Z-score?
Surprise-surprise, it worked!
Now to explain what I have been so passionately yapping about, and to connect the pieces of the puzzle once and for all:
The indicator compares the "strength" of the bullish/bearish factors (could be said differently, but this is my "speach bubble", and I think this describes it the best)
What could we use for the "bullish/bearish" factors?
How about high & low?
I mean, these are by definitions the highest and lowest points in price, which I decided to interpret as: The highest the bull & bear "factors" achieved that bar.
The problem here is comparison, I mean high will ALWAYS > low, unless the asset decided to unplug itself and stop moving, but otherwise that would be unfair.
Now if I use my Z-score, it will get higher while low is going up, which is the opposite of what I want, the bearish "factor" is weaker while we go up!
So I sat on my ret*rded a*s for 25 minutes, completly ignoring the fact the number "-1" exists.
Surprise surprise, multiplying the Z-Score of the low by -1 did what I wanted!
Now it reversed itself (magically). Now while the low keeps going down, the bear factor increases, and while it goes up the bear factor lowers.
This was btw still too noisy, so instead of the classic formula:
a = current value
b = average value
c = standard deviation of a
Z = (a-b)/c
I used:
a = average value over n/2 period
b = average value over n period
c = standard deviation of a
Z = (a-b)/c
And then compared the Z-Score of High to the Z-Score of Low by basic subtraction, which gives us final result and shows us the strength of trend, the direction of the trend, and possibly more, which I may have not found.
As always, this script is open source, so make sure to play around with it, you may uncover the treasure that I did not :)
Enjoy Gs!
Free Stock ScreenerMissing great trade opportunities is annoying, and unless you have 12 screens or only trade one market, you are missing a lot of trades. To fix that, we created this free stock screener so you get notified instantly of potential great trading conditions in real time, right on your chart.
You get notified of trading benchmarks being met by the value being displayed on the scanner as well as a color change so that it grabs your attention and makes you aware that you should take a look at the other market and look for a potential trade. It also has built in alerts so you can have an alert notification go off when any of your trading conditions are met instead of needing to watch the scanner for color changes.
The screener will change the ticker symbol background color to red green when price is above or below the previous daily range and above or below both VWAPs. This signals that the ticker is trending, which typically means it is a great time to trade that market and follow the trend.
This free stock screener allows you to scan up to 10 different markets at the same time for various different conditions so you always know what is going on with your favorite trading symbols. If you want to scan more tickers, just add the indicator to your chart again and change the table position to the other side of the screen and update the tickers on the 2nd screener, allowing you to have 20 tickers at a time.
The scanner can be fully customized by changing the markets that it screens and turning on or off as many of them as you would like. You can also turn on or off any of the different data sets so that you only get information about trading conditions that matter to you.
The screener can provide data on any type of market, such as stocks, crypto, futures, forex and more. Each ticker can be adjusted to whatever market you would like it to scan for data in the settings panel, the only limitation is that it will not provide data for the VWAP and volume trend score if the ticker you are screening does not provide volume data.
Screener Features
The scanner will provide the following types of data for each ticker that is turned on:
Volume - Provides a volume score compared to the average volume and notifies you of higher than normal volume and volume spikes on individual bars by changing colors.
Volatility - Provides a volatility score compared to the average volatility and notifies you of higher than normal volatility by changing colors.
Oscillator - Choose between the RSI or CCI. The value of that oscillator will be displayed and will notify you when values are in extreme ranges such as overbought or oversold conditions according to the threshold values you enter in the settings panel. When those thresholds have been breached, you will be notified by it changing color.
Big Candles - Compares the current candle to average previous candle sizes, and changes color to notify you of big candles including a big top wick, big bottom wick, big candle body and big candle high to low range.
Daily Level Touches & Trends - Calculates and displays various daily candle and intraday open price levels that act as support and resistance. Notifies you when price is touching any of the daily levels that are turned on. The levels you can have on are as follows: previous day high, previous day low or previous day open. It also will notify you when price is touching the current day’s open, NY 930am open, Asia 8pm open, London 2am open and NY midnight 12am open. It will also say “Above” if price is above the previous day’s high or it will say “Below” if price is below the previous day’s low. The color of the cell will also change when a level touch is happening or price is above the previous day high or below the previous day low.
VWAP - Choose from 2 different VWAP lengths, default settings are daily and weekly VWAPs. You will get notified if price touches either of the VWAPs and they will also say “Above” or “Below” if price is currently above or below each VWAP.
How To Use The Screener To Help You Trade
The main purpose of the screener is to scan other markets and notify you of potential good trading opportunities such as price bouncing off of the daily levels or VWAPs. It can also be used to know when price is trending according to the VWAPs and daily levels. Lastly, you can use it to know how the volume and volatility trends are currently which gives you more confidence in taking a trade with this data when volume and volatility are present.
Volume Score
When volume is high, this represents a good time to trade because there are many market participants and price is likely to be volatile while there is high volume which can present a lot of good trade setups for you to take.
The volume score shown on the screener measures the current volume trend compared to previous volume trends and calculates that into a score based on 100 being the same as the previous volume trend. So any value above 100 means it is high volume and any value less than 100 means it is lower volume than normal.
In the settings panel, you can adjust the volume threshold that needs to be met for a volume notification to show up. The default setting is at 120, so you will get notified when the current volume trend score is 120 or higher or you can adjust that threshold value to whatever value you prefer.
It also will notify you when there is a volume spike on the current bar. This is determined by calculating an average of the recent volume totals and then checking to see if the current bar is greater than or equal to that average multiplied by 3. So if a single bar has volume that is greater than 3 times what the average volume is, then you will get a notification that says “Spike” to make you aware of that volume spike.
The volume trend threshold, volume spike multiplier and lookback length for the average volume used in volume spike calculations can all be adjusted in the settings panel to fit your desired preferences.
Volatility Score
High volatility can mean it is a great time to trade because the market is moving quickly and providing large enough movements that you can get in and out in a short amount of time, while still accruing decent sized trade PnL.
The volatility score will calculate the current volatility for each market compared to previous conditions and then divide the current volatility by the average volatility to give you a volatility score. Anything over 100 means the market is decently volatile and you should look at that market to find potential trade setups to execute on. Anything below 100 means the market is not very volatile and it is usually best to just wait until volatility returns before you start trading again.
The screener will notify you when the volatility score is above the threshold you set. The default value is set to 90, but can be adjusted to your preference. Pay attention to any market that shows an alert and take a look at that chart because the high volatility may present a good trade setup for you in the near future.
Oscillator Score
The oscillator data can be switched between Relative Strength Index(RSI) and Commodity Channel Index(CCI).
The RSI provides a value between 0 and 100 that indicates the momentum and strength of the recent price action. Many traders use the extremes of the 0-100 range to signal overbought or oversold conditions and use that as a sign to look for price to reverse in the near future. The typical values used for this and the default settings to provide notifications are: 70 for overbought and 30 for oversold. The scanner will notify you when the RSI value is considered overbought or oversold so you know to take a look at the chart and analyze if it is ready for a trade to be taken.
The CCI provides a value that can be used to determine the trend strength of the underlying asset when the oscillator moves above 100 or below -100. These extreme values are outside of the normal accumulation range and signify that price is moving strongly in that direction so it may be a good time to take a trade in the direction of the trend. The scanner will show you the value of the CCI for each market and notify you if that value is above 100 or below -100.
Both RSI and CCI settings can be adjusted in the settings panel to your desired settings so you have the exact oscillator settings you prefer to use as well as the exact values that you want to use for being notified.
Big Candles
Big candles can mean that many traders are buying or selling at the same time and many times indicate a good signal to trade in that same direction. That is why we included this calculation in the screener, so you are always aware when a large candle prints.
It calculates the average size of the recent candles and then uses that average as the benchmark to determine if the current candle is considered big and worthy of notifying you to take a look at that chart.
You can adjust the multiplier used for the big candle threshold to whatever you desire, but the default setting is 3 which means the candle will be considered big and notify you if it is 3 times as large as an average candle.
The big candles data will track the following candle values and notify you with these labels:
High to Low candle size = HL
Candle Body from open to close candle size = OC
Top Wick size = TW
Bottom Wick size = BW
Daily Level Touches & Trend
Daily level touches are excellent levels to watch for price to bounce because they often act as support and resistance levels for intraday trading. The scanner will track each market and notify you when the current candle is touching any of the daily levels that you have turned on in the settings panel.
The main levels that are turned on by default and are useful for all markets and how they will be labeled on the scanner are as follows:
Previous Day High = High
Previous Day Low = Low
Previous Day Open = < Open
Previous Day Close = Close
Current Day Open = Open
We also included some extra levels that are useful for futures traders. They are as follows:
NY 930am Open = 930am
NY 12am Midnight Open = 12am
Asia Open at 8pm NY time = Asia
London Open at 2am NY Time = London
Watch how price reacts to these levels and then trade the bounces off of these levels if the price action confirms that it is going to respect that level.
When price is currently above the previous day high, the scanner will say “Above” and show a green color, indicating a bullish trend and that price is above the previous daily candle’s high.
When price is currently below the previous day low, the scanner will say “Below” and show a red color, indicating a bearish trend and that price is below the previous daily candle’s low.
Pay attention to when price is trending above or below the previous daily candle as those trends can provide excellent trend trading opportunities.
The daily levels that you have turned on in the settings will also show as lines on the chart and include a label next to them, identifying each level so you know what each line represents. You can turn on or off all of the lines shown on the chart in the main settings or turn them off one by one in the style panel of the settings. Labels can also be turned on or off for all of the lines in the main settings panel. You can adjust the label positioning in the Label Offset section of the settings panel.
VWAP Touches & Trend
VWAP stands for volume weighted average price and is a very popular tool that traders use to determine trend direction based on volume as well as an excellent level to trade price bounces off of.
The typical VWAP time period used is Daily, which means the volume weighted average price will reset at the beginning of a new day. We set the first VWAP to be the daily VWAP by default and the second one to be the weekly VWAP. You can adjust both of the time periods to be any of the provided time lengths that you choose.
The screener will show “Above” with a green background color when price is above the VWAP, indicating a bullish trend. It will show “Below” with a red background color when price is below the VWAP, indicating a bearish trend. When both VWAPs are showing Above or Below, you can expect price to trend in that direction, so look for pullbacks you can trade in the direction of the trend. If the VWAPs are showing different directions, then you should expect to bounce back and forth between the VWAPs, but be careful and watch out for price to break beyond either one and start a trend.
When the current candle is touching the VWAP, the scanner will change colors and say VWAP to notify you that price is touching the VWAP and you should look at that chart and analyze the market for a potential bounce off of the VWAP to trade.
Trending Market Signals
Strong trends are excellent markets to trade and can many times provide excellent trading opportunities that don’t require expert price action reading skills to be able to take winning trades from. That is why we included a signal to notify you of a strong trending market.
The strong trending market will show up as a green or red background color for the ticker name. If the color of the ticker name is green, it is notifying you that the price is above the previous daily high, above VWAP 1 and above VWAP 2 and is a good market to look for bullish trend trades. If the color of the ticker name is red, it is notifying you that the price is below the previous daily low, below VWAP 1 and below VWAP 2 and is a good market to look for bearish trend trades.
Changing The Tickers It Scans
To change the tickers that the indicator scans, scroll near the bottom of the settings panel and select the ticker symbol you want to update and then search for the exact symbol you want to use. If you want to scan less tickers, then just turn some of the tickers off that you don’t need.
Scanning More Than 10 Tickers
If you want to scan more than 10 tickers, you can add the scanner to your chart again and then just change the table position to the other side of the screen. This will allow you to scan 10 more tickers that will show up separately. Then if you want even more, just add the indicator to your chart again and update the table position until you have as many markets as you want. The table position setting can be found at the bottom of the main settings panel.
Alerts
The screener has alerts that can be used to notify you when any of the data set thresholds have been met or if price is touching one of the levels. You can set alerts for the following events:
Bullish Trend Alert - Price is above the previous daily high and above both VWAPs.
Bearish Trend Alert - Price is below the previous daily low and below both VWAPs.
High Volume Alert - Volume is higher than the threshold or a volume spike is detected.
High Volatility Alert - Volatility is higher than the threshold.
Oscillator Is Extended Alert - Oscillator value has exceeded the upper or lower threshold.
Big Candle Alert - A big candle has been detected.
Daily Level Touch Alert - One of the daily levels that is turned on is being touched.
VWAP Touch Alert - One of the 2 VWAPs are being touched.
An alert will trigger when any one of tickers on your scanner meets the alert conditions, so when you see the alert, you will need to go to your chart and look at the scanner to see which ticker it was and then navigate to that chart to look for potential trade setups.
The alerts will use the exact same settings you have configured in the settings panel to send you alert notifications. With normal settings, this could give you a lot of alerts, so if you only want alerts to fire when abnormal conditions are being met, try setting up a second screener on your chart that has very high threshold values and only has the most important level touches on. Then turn the setting "Do Not Show The Screener On The Chart" to off so the calculations will still run and fire alerts, but won't clog up your charts. This way you can only get alert notifications when major events happen but still have your normal screener settings available on your chart.
Markets This Can Be Used On
This screener uses the price action and volume data so you can use it to scan any type of market you would like as long as the ticker you are scanning has price and volume data feeds. If a market does not have volume data, then it will just show NaN in the volume row and the VWAP rows will not show anything.

Friday & Monday HighlighterFriday & Monday Institutional Range Marker — Know Where Big Firms Set the Trap!
🧠 Description
This indicator automatically highlights Friday and Monday sessions on your chart — days when institutional players and algorithmic firms (like Citadel, Jane Street, or Tower Research) quietly shape the upcoming week’s price structure.
🔍 Why Friday & Monday matter
Friday : Large institutions often book profits or hedge into the weekend. Their final-hour moves reveal the next week’s bias.
Monday : Big players rebuild positions, absorbing liquidity left behind by retail traders.
Together, these two days define the range traps and breakout zones that often control price action until midweek.
> In short, the Friday–Monday high and low often act as invisible walls — guiding scalpers, option sellers, and swing traders alike.
🧩 What this tool does
✅ Highlights Friday (red) and Monday (green) sessions
✅ Adds optional day labels above bars
✅ Works across all timeframes (best on 15min to 1hr charts)
✅ Helps you visually identify where institutions likely built their positions
Use it to quickly spot:
* Range boundaries that trap traders
* Gap zones likely to get filled
* High–low sweeps before reversals
⚙️ Recommended Use
1. Mark Friday’s high–low → Watch for liquidity sweeps on Monday.
2. When Monday holds above Friday’s high , breakout continuation is likely.
3. When Monday fails below Friday’s low , expect a reversal or trap.
4. Combine this with OI shifts, IV crush, and FII–DII flow data for confirmation.

Fear & Greed Composite [Jin]A real-time, intraday sentiment oscillator that quantifies market fear vs. greed on a 0–100 scale.
It combines volatility, momentum, volume pressure, accumulation/distribution, VWAP deviation, and optional external fear data (e.g., VIX) into a single composite score — updating every bar for rapid intraday context.
0–25: Extreme Fear → potential reversal zones (panic selling)
26–75: Neutral to Moderate sentiment → balanced or trending conditions
76–100: Extreme Greed → exhaustion or reversal risk
Ideal for sentiment-based bias filtering. Higher values suggest crowd chasing behavior; lower values reflect fear-driven capitulation.
Williams x Briese Hybrid CoT Index
After studying the below CoT (Commitments of Traders) books from ICT's recommended library, I learned that both Larry Williams and Stephen Briese use the same formula for their CoT Index:
COT Index = ((Current Net Position - Lowest Net Position) / (Highest Net Position - Lowest Net Position)) * 100 using a 3-Year lookback period.
Books:
Trade Stocks and Commodities with the Insiders: Secrets of the COT Report by Larry Williams
The Commitments of Traders Bible: How To Profit from Insider Market Intelligence by Stephen Briese
Williams and Briese differ in their plotting of the CoT Index formula in the following ways:
Williams uses a line plot, with thresholds at 25% & 75%
Briese uses a histogram plot, with thresholds at 5% & 90%
I decided to make a "hybrid" indicator of their CoT Index by using Larry Williams' classic line plot instead of a histogram, but with Briese's stricter thresholds of 5% and 95%.
The code is a bit of a remix of the "ICT Commitment of Traders°" indicator by " toodegrees " and is meant for use in a new pane below a Weekly Chart.
You can complement your usage of this indicator with another indicator I've published as shown in the chart above: Briese CoT Movement Index, which you can find on my scripts page. For proper usage, refer to The Commitments of Traders Bible and Trade Stocks and Commodities with the Insiders
As it is, this indicator incorporates the ±40 point "surge" from the Briese CoT Movement Index indicator in the form of labels that are visible above a below the 100% and 0% levels. The green labels at the top indicate buying surges >=40 while the black labels at the bottom indicate selling surges <=-40. If you hover over these labels, you'll see the tooltip for the value of the Movement Index. Again, if you complement this Williams x Briese Hybrid CoT Index with the Briese CoT Movement Index, you'll see the labels from the index align with the points on the histogram which exceed the ±40 levels.

Usage:
Open this indicator in a new pane on a Weekly chart which has one of the listed futures contracts open. It provides insight on the net commercial CoT position, indexed from 0-100%, based on Briese's or Williams' standard 3-year lookback period. Can be used in conjunction with the "Briese CoT Movement Index" which I've published separately. Refer to the books listed above for detailed insight on the theory behind these indicators.
Additional Note, October 14, 2025: Back when I published this indicator originally in July 2025, PineCoders delisted it because my description was in violation of the house rules. Fans of my "Briese CoT Movement Index" have been reaching out, and thus I've decided to republish this indicator, refining the description as much as possible.
Also, please be aware that the CFTC has posted a special announcement on their website: "October 1, 2025: During the shutdown of the federal government, Commitments of Traders Reports will not be published. When the federal government operations return to normal, CFTC will resume publication of the Commitments of Traders in chronological order."
Until the CFTC begins publishing the CoT reports again, the indicator will display data only up to late September 2025.
UTC-New York Session IndicatorBased on your request, I've created a custom Pine Script (v5) indicator that highlights the New York trading session (NYSE/NASDAQ hours) on your chart, adjusted for the New York timezone ("America/New_York"). This automatically handles daylight saving time (DST) changes—no manual offsets needed.Key Features:Session Highlighting: Shades the background during NY open (9:30 AM) to close (4:00 PM NY time).
Vertical Lines: Draws lines at session open and close for visual markers.
Labels: Displays "NY Open" and "NY Close" with timestamps.
Customization: Inputs for enabling/disabling elements, colors, and transparency.
Timezone Handling: Uses Pine Script's built-in timezone support to convert from UTC (TradingView's internal format) to NY time.
Works on Any Symbol/Timeframe: Independent of the chart's exchange timezone (e.g., works on forex, crypto, or stocks).
This is useful for ICT strategies, where NY session timing is critical for liquidity runs and kill zones.
Breakdown or Buyable Dip? Pullback Depth Can HelpAs a common adage says, “the market doesn’t move in a straight line.” But when prices have fallen, it’s not always clear whether buying makes sense. That’s where today’s script may help.
Most traditional indicators judge movement based on price. That’s obviously important, but time can also be helpful. After all, there’s a big difference between probing a low from 2-3 weeks ago versus a low from months or even years in the past.
Pullback Depth clearly illustrates this by answering the question: “Today’s low is the lowest in how many bars?”
The resulting integer is plotted in a simple histogram. Values are always negative because bars with higher absolute values (meaning more negative, or further below zero) are potentially more bearish.
The study also has a maximum lookback period to avoid overwhelming the study with too many bars. Its default setting of 125 bars includes enough history to illustrate the trend.
The stock market’s recent run has seen only shallow pullbacks. Most dips have probed 1-2 weeks in the past, while Friday’s selloff only turned back the clock a month.
Consider two other previous moments.
First, the great bull run of 1995 saw only shallow pullbacks. (None exceeded 50 days.):
In contrast, early 2022 saw the S&P 500 test levels more than 100 candles into the past. It soon fell into an official “bear market:”

Directional Indicator Crossovers v1[JopAlgo]Directional Indicator Crossovers v1 — the classic DMI, made clearer and easier to act on
We'd like to introduce you to a more relaxed, streamlined version of DI. While it may not seem like it at first glance, we've taken the D+/D- method as a starting point and developed our own version of this indicator: two lines, a smooth green/red field indicating who's in control, and clear crossover alerts for a flip. We deliberately chose the step line representation because it closely matches the candlestick patterns on the chart. Designed to help you react faster—without clutter.
What you’ll see
+DI (green) and −DI (red) using classic Wilder smoothing.
A soft control zone between the lines: green when +DI dominates, red when −DI dominates.
Crossover alerts (no labels, no background flooding)—just the turning points.
Why this helps
Instant bias: the shaded field tells you who’s in control without reading values.
Cleaner execution: minimal visuals keep focus on the handoff (+DI↔−DI) and your price levels.
Actionable by design: built-in alerts fire right at the flip to route into your workflow.
How to read it
Bias: Green zone → buyers lead. Red zone → sellers lead.
Trigger: Consider entries on the DI crossover that aligns with your higher-timeframe context (trend, S/R, OB).
Patience in chop: If flips are frequent in tight ranges, wait for sustained zone dominance or confirm on a higher TF.
Exit/flip: Opposite crossover or a clear loss of dominance.
Settings that matter
DI Length (default 14): Higher = calmer, fewer flips. Lower = faster, more signals.
Visuals: Keep the control zone on for quick reads; hide crossover marks if you prefer pure lines.
Alerts: Enable bullish and bearish DI cross alerts; connect to notifications or webhooks as needed.
Starter presets
Intraday (15m–1H): DI Length 12–14 for quicker handoffs.
Swing (4H–1D): DI Length 14–20 for cleaner signals.
Choppy assets: Nudge length higher to dampen noise.
Where it shines (and limits)
Best: Liquid markets (crypto majors, indices, large caps) where handoffs matter.
Works elsewhere: Still useful on slower pairs; extend length for stability.
Limit: Frequent flips in low-range sessions—pair with HTF bias or structure.
Alerts included
Bullish DI Crossover: +DI crosses above −DI.
Bearish DI Crossover: −DI crosses above +DI.
