Supertrend + Stochastic RSIThe Supertrend + Stochastic RSI indicator is designed for scalping and short-term trading, combining the trend-following power of the Supertrend with the momentum insights of the Stochastic RSI to generate reliable buy and sell signals. This indicator aims to reduce false signals by requiring confirmation from both trend direction and momentum, making it suitable for traders targeting quick, high-probability trades in fast-moving markets on lower timeframes (e.g., 1-minute to 15-minute charts).
How It Works
The indicator integrates two technical components to produce actionable signals:
Supertrend for Trend Direction:
The Supertrend, calculated with a default length of 10 and a factor of 3.0, identifies the prevailing trend. It plots a line above or below the price, turning green when the trend is bullish (price above Supertrend) and red when bearish (price below Supertrend). This helps traders stay aligned with the market’s direction, reducing trades against the trend.
Stochastic RSI for Momentum Confirmation:
The Stochastic RSI, computed over a 14-period RSI with 3-period smoothing for %K and %D lines, measures momentum. A buy signal is generated when the %K line crosses above the oversold level (default: 20), indicating potential upward momentum, while a sell signal occurs when %K crosses below the overbought level (default: 80), suggesting downward momentum.
Signal Generation
Signals are produced only when both conditions align, using the previous bar’s values to prevent repainting:
Buy Signal: The Stochastic RSI %K crosses above the oversold level, and the Supertrend confirms a bullish trend (price above Supertrend). Displayed as a green upward triangle below the bar.
Sell Signal: The Stochastic RSI %K crosses below the overbought level, and the Supertrend confirms a bearish trend (price below Supertrend). Displayed as a red downward triangle above the bar.
Analisis Trend
NeuroTrendNeuroTrend is an advanced, self-adjusting trend analysis system that continuously adapts to changing market conditions using volatility-aware smoothing, momentum weighting, and intelligent trend classification. It provides real-time trend detection, confidence scoring, early reversal warnings, and slope projection, all delivered through a coaching dashboard and structured rule-based commentary system.
At its core, NeuroTrend uses two EMAs whose smoothing lengths change automatically based on current volatility, measured by the ATR relative to price, and momentum bias, measured by RSI displacement from the neutral level. These adaptive EMAs create a flexible baseline that adjusts to the pace of the market. From these EMAs, the system calculates angular slope and derives a slope power score, which reflects directional momentum weighted by volatility.
NeuroTrend classifies each bar into one of five market phases: Impulse, Cooling, Reversal Risk, Stall, or Neutral. This classification is based on slope strength, slope variability, and RSI behavior. Each phase offers specific context for whether to enter, continue, or avoid a position.
The indicator uses what is referred to as a neural memory engine, which is inspired by the idea of memory but is not a neural network or machine learning model. Instead, it is a statistical recalibration system that adjusts thresholds using recent ATR conditions and slope standard deviation. This allows the indicator to remain aligned with the current market environment without the need for manual tuning.
Although NeuroTrend is fully adaptive, it includes inputs for the base fast and slow EMAs. These inputs define the central anchor points around which the adaptive logic operates. This gives the trader the ability to control the default behavior of the indicator while still benefiting from real-time responsiveness to volatility and momentum.
To assess the strength of a trend, NeuroTrend computes a confidence score based on four elements: DMI trend strength, directional bias from DI+ and DI–, slope normalization, and volatility efficiency measured by ATR in relation to EMA distance. This score is used to inform alerts, commentary, and dashboard visualization.
The indicator also includes a slope projection engine that estimates near-term direction based on slope change and acceleration. This projection is scaled and clamped using a dynamic volatility factor to prevent unrealistic or unstable values.
Reversal and stall detection are built in. Reversal detection is based on slope collapsing, sign flipping, and RSI weakness. Stall detection is triggered when slope magnitude is low, RSI is flat, and ATR is compressed. These filters help prevent entries in low-quality or high-risk environments.
The system also includes AI-style commentary. This feature is not powered by machine learning or natural language processing. It is rule-based, using prioritized conditions to generate clear statements that reflect the current market state. Messages such as "Strong trend forming" or "Reversal risk rising" are created by predefined logic that adapts to the market.
A visual dashboard is provided on the chart. It displays the current phase, trend direction, slope score, confidence level, reversal status, stall condition, and projected slope angle. This helps traders interpret market behavior at a glance without scanning multiple indicators.
Alerts are triggered only when specific conditions are met: trend strength must be in the impulse phase, confidence must be high, and there must be no active reversal or stall conditions. This ensures alerts are reserved for high-quality setups with strong directional alignment.

LANZ Strategy 2.0🔷 LANZ Strategy 2.0 — London Breakout Confirmation with Structural Swing Protection
LANZ Strategy 2.0 is a structured trading system that leverages the last confirmed market direction before the London session to define directional bias and manage trades based on key structural swing levels. It is tailored for intraday traders looking to capitalize on early London volatility with built-in risk management and visual clarity.
🧠 Core Components:
Directional Confirmation (Pre-London Bias): Validates the last breakout or structural move from the 15-minute timeframe before 02:15 a.m. New York time (start of the London session), establishing the expected market direction.
Time-Based Execution: Executes potential entries strictly at 02:15 a.m. NY time, using market structure to support Long or Short bias.
Dynamic Swing-Based SL System: Allows user to select between three SL protection models: First Swing (most recent structural point) Second Swing (prior level) Total Coverage (includes both swings + extra buffer) This supports flexibility based on trader profile or market conditions.
Visual Risk Mapping: All SL and TP levels are clearly plotted.
End-of-Session Management: Positions are automatically evaluated for closure at 11:45 a.m. NY time. SL, TP, or manual close outcomes are labeled accordingly.
📊 Visual Features:
Labels for 1st and 2nd swing levels upon entry.
Dynamic lines projecting SL/TP levels toward the end of the session.
Session background coloring for Pre-London, Execution, and NY sessions.
Real-time percentage outcome labels (+2.00%, -1.00%, or net % at session end).
Automatic deletion of previous visuals on new entries for clean charting.
⚙️ How It Works:
Detects last structural breakout on the 15m timeframe before 02:15 a.m. NY.
On the 02:15 a.m. candle, executes a Long or Short logic entry.
Plots corresponding SL and TP based on selected swing model.
Monitors price action: If TP or SL is hit, labels it accordingly. If no exit is hit, trade closes manually at 11:45 a.m. NY with net result shown.
Optional logic to reverse entries if market structure breaks before execution.
🔔 Alerts:
Daily execution alert at 02:15 a.m. NY (prompting manual review or action).
Optional alert logic can be extended for SL/TP hits or structure breaks.

ICT iFVG Detector and Alert [by ote618]Description
This script detects ICT - fair value gaps (FVG) formed by price gaps between Candle 1 and Candle 3, then monitors the next 5 candles for an inverse fair value gap (iFVG).
What It Detects
Bullish FVG: When Candle 1 high is below Candle 3 low (BISI)
Bearish FVG: When Candle 1 low is above Candle 3 high (SIBI)
Once an FVG is detected, the script checks the next 5 candles:
A Bullish FVG becomes a Bearish IFVG if price closes below Candle 1 high
A Bearish FVG becomes a Bullish IFVG if price closes above Candle 1 low
Only the first bar that validates the FVG triggers the transition to an IFVG.
Visual Output
A shaded rectangle is plotted to mark the original FVG zone (from Candle 1 to Candle 3)
Color-coded:
Red for Bearish IFVG (validated Bullish IG)
Green for Bullish IFVG (validated Bearish IG)
The rectangle extends from Candle 1 to the validating bar
Alerts
You can receive alerts when an FVG becomes an IFVG:
Configurable to fire only on selected timeframes (1m, 5m, 15m, 60m)
Alerts include the direction and the chart timeframe
Settings
Enable Alerts For Timeframe: Choose which timeframe(s) trigger alerts
This tool helps traders identify inverse FVGs (iFVG), a useful ICT concept.
Internal Market Structure + Order BlocksInternal Market Structure + Order Blocks
This indicator combines internal market structure shifts with order block detection to help traders identify key zones of institutional interest and potential trend reversals. It highlights bullish and bearish engulfing conditions that mark the formation of valid order blocks, and it plots internal structure shifts—early signals that may precede a larger move.
Key Features:
-Bullish & Bearish Order Blocks: Highlighted with shaded boxes (green for bullish, red for bearish) following engulfing price action.
-Internal Structure Shifts: Small black triangles show early signs of a potential reversal, offering a unique perspective beyond standard structure analysis.
-Engulfing Breakouts: Marks when price breaks previous opposing structure, confirming new directional intent.
-Alerts Included: Get notified on key structure breaks and internal shifts to stay ahead of potential setups.
This tool is designed to support price action trading by visually mapping key structural changes and zones of interest directly on your chart. It is not intended to function as a standalone trading strategy , but rather as a supplementary tool to inform your own analysis and discretion.
Note: The arrows, polylines, and colored trendlines shown in the chart example are not generated by the indicator. They have been added manually for illustration purposes to demonstrate how the indicator can be used to trace market structure. Likewise, the order blocks in the example are manually drawn and may differ slightly from the indicator's automatic calculations, serving only to enhance visual clarity.
TTM Scalper AlertTTM Scalper Alert — Real-Time Pivot Detector
Description:
This is a custom implementation of the classic TTM Scalper Alert, adapted to show early pivot detection and trend structure tracking in real-time. The script identifies potential highs and lows before the full pivot confirmation—giving traders an early edge—and removes outdated signals once pivots are confirmed.
It supports two levels of detection:
Fast Alert Pivots : Identified after Alert Period candles confirm a local reversal.
Confirmed Pivots : Validated only after Pivot Period candles on both sides ensure a true swing high/low.
How It Works:
Fast Detection (Early Pivots):
Detected after Alert Period (AP) candles. These are provisional signals, shown as triangle labels (▲▼) near current price. Only the latest signal is shown; previous fast pivots are deleted to avoid clutter.
Confirmed Pivots:
Detected with a full lookback of Pivot Period (PP) on both sides of the candle. Shown using plotshape with triangle markers (▲▼). Serve as anchors for price structure analysis (HH-HL or LL-LH tracking).
Custom Source Option:
Users can choose to base pivots on High/Low or Close/Open range. Helps adjust sensitivity depending on volatility or bar structure.
How to Interpret:
Trend & Market Structure:
Use Confirmed Pivots (plotshapes) to analyze market structure:
HH → HL: Uptrend
LL → LH: Downtrend
Watch for breaks in structure for possible reversals
Early Alerts:
The floating labels (▲▼) represent early warnings of a potential pivot. Use them to anticipate:
Short-term exhaustion
Quick scalping entries
Divergence setups
Inputs:
Source : Choose from High/Low or Close/Open — affects how pivots are calculated
Alert Period : How fast the script detects an early reversal pattern (used for entry timing)
Pivot Period : How many candles before/after to confirm a full pivot (used for structural analysis)
Best For:
Traders who follow price action and structure
Scalpers and intraday traders who want early signals
Anyone using pivot highs/lows for confluence with other tools (like RSI divergence, Bollinger Bands, VWAP, etc.)
Pro Tips:
Combine this with:
Trend Magic or Supertrend for directional bias
Volume spike filters to confirm reversal intent
RSI/CCI divergence to strengthen reversal pivots
Adjust Alert Period to tune early signal sensitivity (lower = faster but noisier)
Pullback Setup HelperThe Pullback Setup Helper is a visual tool designed to assist traders in identifying high-probability pullback entry zones in both bullish and bearish trends. It dynamically calculates support and resistance pullback areas using a combination of recent price extremes and ATR-based volatility measures.
The indicator plots two main zones: one for potential long setups beneath recent highs, and another for short setups above recent lows. These zones are derived from configurable multipliers of the ATR to define depth and width, with an additional buffer to allow for slight overshoots or market noise.
Signals are generated when price enters a pullback zone and closes in the direction of the trend, using a relaxed condition (close > previous close for longs, close < previous close for shorts) to increase signal frequency. Entry signals appear as triangles on the chart, with optional alerts available for both long and short scenarios.
This tool is best used as a contextual guide to support trend-continuation trades, particularly when combined with additional confirmation from momentum or volume indicators.
Live ICT Manipulation Candle [London Session, DST]📌 Live ICT Manipulation Candle

Dynamic Trade Signal Validator (DTSV)The Dynamic Trade Signal Validator (DTSV) is designed to filter false trade signals while generating reliable, frequent trade opportunities. False signals, which lead to unprofitable trades, often occur in choppy or low-momentum markets. The DTSV combines Hull Moving Average (HMA) crossovers, Average True Range (ATR) breakout confirmation, and MACD histogram momentum filtering to ensure signals align with trend, volatility, and momentum, making it ideal for day trading or swing trading across assets like stocks, forex, or cryptocurrencies.
How It Works
The DTSV uses three components to validate trade signals, balancing frequency and reliability:
HMA Crossover for Trend Direction:
Two HMAs (default: 9-period fast, 21-period slow) detect trend changes. A buy signal triggers when the fast HMA crosses above the slow HMA (bullish), and a sell signal when it crosses below (bearish). HMAs reduce lag compared to traditional MAs, enabling more responsive trend detection.
ATR Breakout Confirmation:
The 14-period ATR ensures significant price movement by requiring the bar’s range (high minus low) to exceed the ATR multiplied by 1.0 (adjustable). This confirms volatility, reducing false signals in stagnant markets.
MACD Histogram Momentum Filter:
The MACD (default: 12, 26, 9) histogram confirms momentum. Buy signals require a positive histogram (bullish momentum), and sell signals need a negative histogram (bearish momentum), ensuring directional strength.
Signal Generation
Buy signals (green triangles below bars) occur when a bullish HMA crossover, ATR breakout, and positive MACD histogram align. Sell signals (red triangles above bars) require a bearish crossover, ATR breakout, and negative histogram. This triple confirmation minimizes false trades while maintaining frequent signals.
Current Fractal High/Low (Dynamic)
This indicator dynamically tracks the most recent confirmed Fractal High and Fractal Low across any timeframe using custom left/right bar configurations.
🔍 Key Features:
Detects Fractal Highs and Lows based on user-defined pivot settings.

Left & Right bars for pivot sensitivity
Line width for visibility
📌 Use Cases:
Identifying structure shifts
Recognizing key swing points
Supporting liquidity and breakout strategies
💡 Fractals are confirmed only after the full formation of the pattern (left and right bars). This ensures reliability over reactivity.
This script is designed for intraday to swing traders who want a reliable way to visualize market turning points with minimal noise.
Adaptive Momentum Oscillator [LuxAlgo]The Adaptive Momentum Oscillator tool allows traders to measure the current relative momentum over a given period using the maximum delta in price.
It features a histogram with gradient color, divergences, and an adaptive moving average that allows traders to clearly see the smoothed trend direction.
🔶 USAGE
This unbounded oscillator has positive momentum when values are above 0 and negative momentum when values are below 0. The adaptive moving average is used as a minimum lag smoothing tool over the momentum histogram.
🔹 Signal Line
There are two main uses for the signal line drawn on the chart above.
Momentum crosses above or below the signal line: acceleration in momentum.
Signal line crosses the 0 value: positive or negative momentum.
🔹 Data Length
On the chart above, we can compare different length sizes and how the tool values change, allowing traders to get a shorter or longer-term view of current market strength.
🔹 Smoothing Length
In the previous figure, we can compare how different Smoothing Length values affect the oscillator output.
🔹 Divergences
The divergence detector is disabled by default. Traders can enable it and adjust the divergence length from the settings panel.
As we can see in the chart above, by changing the length of the divergences, traders can fine-tune their detection, a small number will detect smaller divergences, and use a larger number for larger divergences.
🔶 SETTINGS
Data: Select data source, close price by default
Data Length: Select the length for data gathering
Smoothing Length: Select the length for data smoothing
Divergences: Enable/Disable divergences detection and length
Camarilla Pivot Plays█ OVERVIEW
This indicator implements the Camarilla Pivot Points levels and a system for suggesting particular plays. It only calculates and shows the 3rd, 4th, and 6th levels, as these are the only ones used by the system. In total, there are 12 possible plays, grouped into two groups of six. The algorithm constantly evaluates conditions for entering and exiting the plays and indicates them in real time, also triggering user-configurable alerts.
█ CREDITS
The Camarilla pivot plays are defined in a strategy developed by Thor Young, and the whole system is explained in his book "A Complete Day Trading System" . The indicator is published with his permission, and he is a user of it. The book is not necessary in order to understand and use the indicator; this description contains sufficient information to use it effectively.
█ FEATURES
Automatically draws plays, suggesting an entry, stop-loss, and maximum target
User can set alerts on chosen ticker to call these plays, even when not currently viewing them
Highly configurable via many options
Works for US/European stocks and US futures (at least)
Works correctly on both RTH and ETH charts
Automatically switches between RTH and ETH data
Optionally also shows the "other" set of pivots (RTH vs ETH data)
Configurable behaviour in the pre-market, not active in the post-market
Configurable sensitivity of the play detection algorithm
Can also show weekly and monthly Camarilla pivots
Well-documented options tooltips
Sensible defaults which are suitable for immediate use
Well-documented and high-quality open-source code for those who are interested
█ HOW TO USE
The defaults work well; at a minimum, just add the indicator and watch the plays being called. To avoid having to watch securities, by selecting the three dots next to the indicator name, you can set an alert on the indicator and choose to be alerted on play entry or exit events—or both. The following diagram shows several plays activated in the past (with the "Show past plays" option selected).
By default, the indicator draws plays 5 days back; this can be changed up to 20 days. The labels can be shifted left/right using the "label offset" option to avoid overlapping with other labels in this indicator or those of another indicator.
An information box at the top-right of the chart shows:
The data currently in use for the main pivots. This can switch in the pre-market if the H/L range exceeds the previous day's H/L, and if it does, you will see that switch at the time that it happens
Whether the current day's pivots are in a higher or lower range compared to the previous day's. This is based on the RTH close, so large moves in the post-market won't be reflected (there is an advanced option to change this)
The width of the value relationship in the current day compared to the previous day
The currently active play. If multiple plays are active in parallel, only the last activated one is shown
The resistance pivots are all drawn in the same colour (red by default), as are the support pivots (green by default). You can change the resistance and support colours, but it is not possible to have different colours for different levels of the same kind. Plays will always use the correct colour, drawing over the pivots. For example, R4 is red by default, but if a play treats R4 as a support, then the play will draw a green line (by default) over the red R4 line, thereby hiding it while the play is active.
There are a few advanced parameters; leave these as default unless you really know what they do. Please note the script is complicated—it does a lot. You might need to wait a few seconds while it (re)calculates on new tickers or when changing options. Give it time when first loading or changing options!
█ CONCEPTS
The indicator is focused around daily Camarilla pivots and implements 12 possible plays: 6 when in a higher range, 6 when in a lower range. The plays are labelled by two letters—the first indicates the range, the second indicates the play—as shown in this diagram:
The pivots can be calculated using only RTH (Regular Trading Hours) data, or ETH (Extended Trading Hours) data, which includes the pre-market and post-market. The indicator implements logic to automatically choose the correct data, based on the rules defined by the strategy. This is user-overridable. With the default options, ETH will be used when the H/L range in the previous day's post-market or current day's pre-market exceeds that of the previous day's regular market. In auto mode, the chosen pivots are considered the main pivots for that day and are the ones used for play evaluation. The "other" pivots can also be shown—"other" here meaning using ETH data when the main pivots use RTH data, and vice versa.
When displaying plays in the pre-market, since the RTH open is not yet known (and that value is needed to evaluate play pre-conditions), the pre-market open is used as a proxy for the RTH open. After the regular market opens, the correct RTH open is used to evaluate play conditions.
█ NOTE FOR FUTURES
Futures always use full ETH data in auto mode. Users may, however, wish to use the option "Always use RTH close," which uses the 3 p.m. Central Time (CME/Chicago) as a basis for the close in the pivot calculations (instead of the 4 p.m. actual close).
Futures don't officially have a pre-market or post-market like equities. Let's take ES on CME as an example (CME is in Chicago, so all times are Central Time, i.e., 1 hour behind Eastern Time). It trades from 17:00 Sunday to 16:00 Friday, with a daily pause between 16:00 and 17:00. However, most of the trading activity is done between 08:30 and 15:00 (Central), which you can tell from the volume spikes at those times, and this coincides with NYSE/NASDAQ regular hours (09:30–16:00 Eastern). So we define a pseudo-pre-market from 17:00 the previous day to 08:30 on the current day, then a pseudo-regular market from 08:30 to 15:00, then a pseudo-post-market from 15:00 to 16:00.
The indicator then works exactly the same as with equities—all the options behave the same, just with different session times defined for the pre-, regular, and post-market, with "RTH" meaning just the regular market and "ETH" meaning all three. The only difference from equities is that the auto calculation mode always uses ETH instead of switching based on ETH range compared to RTH range. This is so users who just leave all the defaults are not confused by auto-switching of the calculation mode; normally you'll want the pivots based on all the (ETH) data. However, both "Force RTH" and "Use RTH close with ETH data" work the same as with equities—so if, in the calculations, you really want to only use RTH data, or use all ETH H/L data but use the RTH close (at 15:00), you can.
█ LIMITATIONS
The pivots are very close to those shown in DAS Trader Pro. They are not to-the-cent exact, but within a few cents. The reasons are:
TradingView uses real-time data from CBOE One, so doesn't have access to full exchange data (unless you pay for it in TradingView), and
the close/high/low are taken from the intraday timeframe you are currently viewing, not daily data—which are very close, but often not exactly the same. For example, the high on the daily timeframe may differ slightly from the daily high you'll see on an intraday timeframe.
I have occasionally seen larger than a few cents differences in the pivots between these and DAS Trader Pro—this is always due to differences in data, for example a big spike in the data in TradingView but not in DAS Trader Pro, or vice versa. The more traded the stock is, the less the difference tends to be. Highly traded stocks are usually within a few cents. Less traded stocks may be more (for example, 30¢ difference in R4 is the highest I've seen). If it bothers you, official NYSE/NASDAQ data in TradingView is quite inexpensive (but even that doesn't make the 8am candle identical).
The 6th Camarilla level does not have a standard definition and may not match the level shown on other platforms. It does match the definition used by DAS Trader Pro.
The indicator is an intraday indicator (despite also being able to show weekly and monthly pivots on an intraday chart). It deactivates on a daily timeframe and higher. It is untested on sub-minute timeframes; you may encounter runtime errors on these due to various historical data referencing issues. Also, the play detection algorithm would likely be unpredictable on sub-minute timeframes. Therefore, sub-minute timeframes are formally unsupported.
The indicator was developed and tested for US/European stocks and US futures. It may or may not work as intended for stocks and futures in different locations. It does not work for other security types (e.g., crypto), where I have no evidence that the strategy has any relevance.

Multi-VWAP System🚀 Multi-VWAP System — Anchored VWAP & Deviation Bands
Overview
The Multi-VWAP System provides traders with a professional-grade approach to anchored VWAP analysis. Inspired by Brian Shannon's pioneering work on Anchored VWAP, this indicator automatically calculates and plots:
Current Session VWAP
Previous Session VWAP (also known as "2-Day VWAP")
High-of-Day (HOD) Anchored VWAP
Each VWAP can also display optional Standard Deviation Bands to highlight statistically significant deviations from the volume-weighted average price.
🔍 Why Anchored VWAP Matters
Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) is among the most critical institutional indicators, as it represents the average price paid for a stock adjusted by trading volume. This makes VWAP crucial for identifying fair value and significant areas of institutional activity.
Institutions utilize VWAP extensively to guide their execution algorithms. For instance, if price dips below a 2-day anchored VWAP (anchored to the previous session's open), many institutions interpret this as a discounted entry, potentially triggering large-scale buy programs. Conversely, sustained movement above VWAP signals strong buying pressure and bullish sentiment.
📌 Why Multiple Anchors?
Traders commonly anchor VWAPs at critical reference points:
Current Session VWAP:
Essential for day traders as a reference for intraday sentiment. Price action above this line generally indicates bullish sentiment, while price below signals bearish sentiment.
Previous Session (2-Day) VWAP:
Heavily used by institutions and swing traders, it provides insight into multi-session sentiment. Institutions commonly activate buy or sell programs based on whether price is trading at a premium or discount relative to this VWAP.
High-of-Day (HOD) VWAP:
Frequently used by momentum traders, this anchor captures sentiment after the most recent intraday high. Price above the HOD VWAP suggests sustained bullish momentum, while price below might signal weakening momentum.
🌟 Standard Deviation Bands
Each anchored VWAP in this indicator includes optional Standard Deviation Bands, highlighting statistical extremes. Traders use these bands to:
Identify potentially overextended moves (beyond +2σ or +3σ).
Gauge momentum strength (holding above +1σ).
Spot mean-reversion setups when price returns to VWAP after extreme moves.
🎨 Dynamic Background and Momentum Colorization
To visually highlight strength or weakness in price action relative to VWAP:
Dynamic Background Fill between Current and Previous VWAPs:
Green background appears when the Current VWAP is above the Previous VWAP and the linear regression slope (adjustable length) is positive, indicating bullish sentiment.
Red background appears when the Current VWAP is below the Previous VWAP and the slope is negative, indicating bearish sentiment.
No fill when conditions are mixed or momentum is uncertain.

Key Recent Highs and LowsKey Recent Highs & Lows — Session‐Aware Market Structure
TL;DR
This tool plots the most important intraday price extremes for every U.S.‑equity trading segment—Early Premarket • Western Premarket • Regular Hours • Post‑Market Hours • Yesterday’s Range—and labels them so you can trade break‑outs, retests and mean‑reversion with instant context.
📐 Theory & Why These Levels Matter
Liquidity Pools
Visible session extremes attract resting orders (stop‑losses, take‑profits, opening prints). Price often accelerates into them and reacts at them.
Market Memory
The previous day’s high/low is a widely‑watched pivot for gap fills, overnight inventory corrections and multi‑day breakouts.
Mean‑Reversion Windows
Statistically, pre‑ and post‑market ranges are thin; an aggressive spike outside those bands often retraces when full liquidity returns.
Break‑Out Confirmation
A true breakout isn’t just a tick above RTH‑high—it usually closes or at least consolidates above the prior extreme. Seeing all bands lets you gauge whether a push is “real” or just probing thinner sessions.
Put simply, these levels help you decide:
Break‑out ➜ trade in the direction of expansion past a session extreme with follow‑through.
Fade/Mean‑Revert ➜ fade a spike that tags an extreme without commitment (e.g., hits Western‑Premkt‑High then stalls before RTH).
🔍 What the Script Draws
Session (UTC‑4 EST) Default Color / Style Typical Use‑Case
Early Premarket 4 – 7 AM Thick semi‑transparent orange line detect overnight retail spikes / fade plays
Western Premarket 7 – 9 : 30 AM Dashed orange‑red breakout watch as U.S. brokers open
Regular Session (RTH) 9 : 30 – 16 : 00 Bold teal dotted line core intraday structure; classic highs/lows
Post‑Market 16 – 23 : 59 Soft indigo band after‑hours news moves, earnings fades
Previous‑Day RTH Solid teal gap‑fill targets, trend continuation filters
(All colors, thicknesses and transparencies are editable in the settings.)
✨ Features
Real‑Time Updates
Levels refresh tick‑by‑tick inside their own session—no repainting later.
One‑Click Visibility Toggles
Show or hide any session extreme independently.
Clean Auto‑Labels
Optional right‑edge tags (“RTH High”, “Premkt Low”, etc.) keep your chart readable even when lines overlap.
Automatic Daily Reset
At midnight Eastern, buffers clear and yesterday’s extremes roll into the “Prev‑Day” pair.
Zero‑Noise Design
Transparencies and line styles are tuned so you can overlay on any symbol / timeframe without drowning candles.
📈 How to Trade with It
Intraday Breakout Strategy
Mark confluence (e.g., price pushes through Western Premkt High and Yesterday’s High).
Wait for a pullback that holds above the reclaimed band.
Enter with stop under that session line; target next band or measured‑move.
Fade / Mean‑Reversion
Pre‑market headline sends price 5 % above Early Premkt High.
Volume dries up before RTH open.
Short into exhaustion; cover near Western Premkt High or VWAP.
Gap‑Fill & Trend Days
Cash open gaps above Prev‑Day High.
If first 15‑min candle closes back inside yesterday’s range, bias shifts to downside fade.
If it holds above, treat gap as breakout and track RTH High extensions.
Pair it with volume‑profile, VWAP, or momentum oscillators for even higher‑confidence setups.

Intraday Pivot Highs & Lows (Asia London NY)Intraday Pivot Highs & Lows (Asia London NY)
Script Description
This TradingView indicator is optimized for Forex, scalping, intraday, and day trading strategies. It accurately plots Pivot Points and levels, high/low, support and resistance levels. These are clearly identified to aid the trader during killzone sessions and session opens. Ideal for scalp trading, intraday sessions, and leveraging SMT (Smart Money Techniques). Utilize these Price Levels effectively during London Open, NY Open, and the Asia Session, utilizing Market Structure to pinpoint key levels and reversal zones for successful trading. Improve your Trade Setups, recognize reliable Chart Patterns, identify critical Price Pivots, and trade confidently off Institutional Levels.
This script marks the intraday pivot highs, lows and midpoints retracement levels for
Asia
London
New York
It also plots the previous day's high, low, midpoint, and 0.618 Fibonacci retracement levels, providing traders with critical price reference points for making intraday trading decisions.
Originality & Usefulness
This indicator uniquely integrates pivot calculations across three major Forex sessions (Asia, London, NY), clearly delineating session boundaries.
It enhances visibility by using distinct styling
solid for New York
dashed for London
dotted lines for Asia
And colour co-ordinated labeling, improving traders' ability to identify important intraday price action zones efficiently. Unlike standard pivot indicators, this script emphasizes session-specific trading dynamics.
### Key Features ###
Session-Based Levels: Automatically plots high, low, midpoint, and Fibonacci (.618) levels for each major session (Asia, London, NY).
Distinct Visual Cues: Lines and labels use session-specific styles and colors to easily differentiate between sessions.
Previous Day Reference: Clearly plots and labels yesterday's high, low, midpoint, and Fibonacci levels.
Flexible Visibility: Traders can set timeframe visibility to maintain clean charts on higher timeframes.
### How It Works
At the start of next day's session, previous session lines are cleared, ensuring the chart remains uncluttered.
High, low, midpoint, and Fibonacci retracement levels (.618) are dynamically calculated and displayed at the close of each session.
All session levels remain visible until the start of the next respective session, providing continuous actionable insights.
Trading Application:
Session highs and lows act as strong intraday support and resistance zones.
Midpoints and Fibonacci levels are effective for identifying potential reversal zones and retracements.
Daily levels provide a broader context, useful for gauging intraday volatility and range.
### Limitations and Considerations ##
Best used on liquid assets with clear session-based price action, such as Forex major pairs, if used on indexes make sure they contain 24 hour price action not just New York session.
This indicator is designed to streamline intraday trading by clearly marking essential pivot points and session-based levels, significantly improving traders' market context and decision-making accuracy. Can be used to enhance SMT decision making when scalping killzones.
Ehlers Regime Dynamic CandlesCore Calculation Mechanism
The indicator uses advanced Ehlers signal processing techniques to identify market regimes and create dynamically colored candles that reflect market conditions.
Super Smoother Filter: Price data (open, high, low, close) is processed through an Ehlers Super Smoother Filter to reduce market noise while preserving important price movements. This creates a clearer signal for regime detection.
Autocorrelation Analysis: The core of regime detection uses autocorrelation functions at different lag periods:
Primary autocorrelation measures correlation between the current price and its previous value
Trending autocorrelation measures longer-term persistence in the data series
These values combined determine if the market is in a trending or choppy regime
(Image showing Ehlers custom candles vs default candlesticks)
Regime Strength Calculation:
-Raw signal from autocorrelation with user-defined threshold adjustment
-Adaptive scaling based on sensitivity parameter
-Optional volume validation that confirms signal strength using volume data
-Normalization to 0-1 range and smoothing for visual consistency
-Percentile ranking to provide contextually meaningful strength values
Fisher Transform: Applied to the smoothed price to identify statistical extremes, which helps adjust transparency levels during significant price movements.
Key Features & Components
Regime Detection: Identifies trending vs. choppy market conditions using Ehlers' autocorrelation techniques.
Dynamic Candle Coloring: Candles transition smoothly between three color states:
Bullish trending (typically green/teal)
Bearish trending (typically red/purple)
Choppy/neutral (typically blue/silver)
Volume Validation: Optional incorporation of volume data to confirm trend strength (stronger volume during trending periods increases confidence).
Adaptive Transparency: Candles become more opaque during statistically significant price movements based on Fisher Transform values.
Gradient Smoothing: Controls the visual transition between regime states for a more aesthetically pleasing appearance.
Customizable Colors and Style: Full control over all visual aspects including candle body/wick colors and transparency.
Configuration Options
Users can adjust the following parameters in the indicator settings:
Main Settings:
Cycle Length: Controls the lookback period for cycle detection. Lower values increase responsiveness but may introduce noise.
Gradient Smoothness: Determines how quickly colors transition when regime changes.
Trend Detection Threshold: Sets the autocorrelation strength required to classify a trend.
Trend Sensitivity: Scales regime strength calculation to produce a better distribution of values.
Use Volume: Toggles whether volume data is used to validate trend strength.
Color Settings:
Trending Regime Colors: Separate color options for bullish and bearish candle bodies and wicks.
Choppy Regime Colors: Color options for candle bodies and wicks during sideways/neutral markets.
Style Settings:
Candle Border Options: Toggle borders and adjust their color and transparency.
Adaptive Transparency: Enable/disable dynamic transparency based on statistical significance.
Base Transparency: Set the baseline transparency level for all candles.
Interpretation Notes
Color Transitions: As the market shifts between regimes, candle colors gradually transition, providing visual cues about market structure changes.
Regime Strength: The intensity of colors indicates the strength of the detected regime:
Strong trending regimes show vibrant trending colors
Weak or mixed regimes display colors closer to the choppy/neutral color
Transitions between regimes show gradient colors
Transparency Changes: More opaque candles indicate statistically significant price movements, while more transparent candles suggest routine or less significant price action.
Volume Interaction: When volume validation is enabled, trending colors become more pronounced during high volume trends and subdued during low volume periods.
Disclaimer: These are custom candles that are significantly different from normal candlesticks.
Unlike traditional candlesticks that display raw price data, these candles:
• Use Ehlers signal processing to filter and smooth price data
• Dynamically change color based on detected market regimes
• Show statistical significance through transparency
• May appear delayed compared to standard candles due to the filtering process
Traditional trading strategies dependent on candlestick patterns will not work with these.
Risk Disclaimer
Trading involves significant risk. This indicator is provided for analytical purposes only and does not constitute financial advice. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Use sound risk management practices and never trade with capital you cannot afford to lose. The Ehlers Regime Dynamic Candles indicator should be used as part of a comprehensive trading approach, not as a standalone trading system.
Closest Candle to EMA (CCE)🔍 Closest Candle to EMA (CCE)
The Closest Candle to EMA (CCE) indicator is a visual analytical tool designed to identify the historical price (candle close) that is closest to the current Exponential Moving Average (EMA) over a user-defined period. This allows traders to easily detect how price has interacted with the trend line recently, providing insights into potential mean reversion, support/resistance, and price convergence behavior.
📌 Key Features
✅ Highlights the candle with a closing price closest to the current EMA
✅ Customizable EMA length for various trading styles and timeframes
✅ Helps detect potential zones of trend interaction
✅ Supports analysis of price behavior near dynamic support/resistance
✅ Lightweight and non-intrusive visual overlay (red = closest price, blue = EMA)
🧠 How It Works
The script calculates the EMA using the user-defined length (default: 20).
It then scans the last N candles (equal to the EMA length) and finds the one whose closing price is closest to the current EMA value.
That close is highlighted in red, while the EMA is shown in blue.
This comparison helps traders understand the proximity of past price action to the current trend level.
💡 Use Cases
Mean Reversion Strategies – Spot when price historically reverts to the trend
Dynamic Support/Resistance Identification – Find levels where price respected or returned to the EMA
Consolidation Zone Analysis – Identify areas where price hovered around trend lines
Backtesting Trend Sensitivity – See how price reacted to EMA over time
⚙️ Settings
EMA Length – Set the number of periods used for EMA and comparison window (default: 20)
📊 Example Strategy Setup – EMA Touch with Reversal Candle
This indicator can be incorporated into a price-action strategy that combines candlestick patterns, EMA proximity, and volume confirmation. Here's a practical use case:
🔧 Note: This setup is designed specifically with the EMA length set to 9.
🔁 Bullish Setup – Hammer + EMA (in uptrend)
The market is in an uptrend, confirmed by EMA(9) sloping upward
A Hammer candlestick forms
The EMA (blue) must touch the lower shadow (wick) of the Hammer
It must not touch the candle body
Candle volume is above average
→ ✅ This may signal a bullish continuation opportunity
🔁 Bearish Setup – Shooting Star + EMA (in downtrend)
The market is in a downtrend, confirmed by EMA(9) sloping downward
A Shooting Star candlestick forms
The EMA (blue) must touch the upper shadow (wick) of the candle
It must not touch the candle body
Candle volume is above average
ETI IndicatorThe Ensemble Technical Indicator (ETI) is a script that combines multiple established indicators into one single powerful indicator. Specifically, it takes a number of technical indicators and then converts them into +1 to represent a bullish trend, or a -1 to represent a bearish trend. It then adds these values together and takes the running sum over the past 20 days.
The ETI is composed of the following indicators and converted to +1 or -1 using the following criteria:
Simple Moving Average (10 days) : When the price is above the 10-day simple moving averaging, +1, when below -1
Weighted Moving Average (10 days) : Similar to the SMA 10, when the the price is above the 10-day weighted moving average, +1, when below -1
Stochastic K% : If the current Stochastic K% is greater than the previous value, then +1, else -1.
Stochastic D% : Similar to the Stochastic K%, when the current Stochastic D% is greater than the previous value, +1, else -1.
MACD Difference : First subtract the MACD signal (i.e. the moving average) from the MACD value and if the current value is higher than the previous value, then +1, else -1.
William's R% : If the current William's R% is greater than the previous one, then +1, else -1.
William's Accumulation/Distribution : If the current William's AD value is greater than the previous value, then +1, else -1.
Commodity Channel Index : If the Commodity Channel Index is greater than 200 (overbought), then -1, if it is less than -200 (oversold) then +1. When it is between those values, if the current value is greater than the previous value then +1, else -1.
Relative Strength Index : If the Relative Strength Index is over 70 (overbought) then -1 and if under 30 (oversold) then +1. If the Relative Strength Indicator is between those values then if the current value is higher than the previous value +1, else -1.
Momentum (9 days) : If the momentum value is greater than 0, then +1, else -1.
Again, once these values have been calculated and converted, they are added up to produce a single value. This single value is then summed across the previous 20 candles to produce a running sum.
By coalescing multiple technical indicators into a single value across time, traders can better understand how multiple inter-related indicators are behaving at once; high scores indicate that numerous indicators are showing bullish signals indicating a potential or ongoing uptrend (and vice-versa with low scores).
Additional Features
Numerous smoothing transformations have also been added (e.g. gaussian smoothing) to remove some of the noise might exist.
Suggested Use
It is recommended that stocks are shorted when the cross below 0, and are bought when the ETI crosses above -40. Arrows can be shown on the indicator to show these points. However feel free to use levels that work best for you.
Traditionally, I have treated values above +50 as overbought and below -40 as undersold (with -80 indicating extremely oversold); however these levels could also indicate either upwards and downwards momentum so taking a position based on where the ETI is (rather than crossing levels) should be done with caution.
Entropy Chart Analysis [PhenLabs]📊 Entropy Chart analysis -
Version: PineScript™ v6
📌 Description
The Entropy Chart indicator analysis applies Approximate Entropy (ApEn) to identify zones of potential support and resistance on your price chart. It is designed to locate changes in the market’s predictability, with a focus on zones near significant psychological price levels (e.g., multiples of 50). By quantifying entropy, the indicator aims to identify zones where price action might stabilize (potential support) or become randomized (potential resistance).
This tool automates the visualization of these key areas for traders, which may have the effect of revealing reversal levels or consolidation zones that would be hard to discern through traditional means. It also filters the signals by proximity to key levels in an attempt to reduce noise and highlight higher-probability setups. These dynamic zones adapt to changing market conditions by stretching, merging, and expiring based on user-inputted rules.
🚀 Points of Innovation
Combines Approximate Entropy (ApEn) calculation with price action near significant levels.
Filters zone signals based on proximity (in ticks) to predefined significant price levels (multiples of 50).
Dynamically merges overlapping or nearby zones to consolidate signals and reduce chart clutter.
Uses ApEn crossovers relative to its moving average as the core trigger mechanism.
Provides distinct visual coloring for bullish, bearish, and merged (mixed-signal) zones.
Offers comprehensive customization for entropy calculation, zone sensitivity, level filtering, and visual appearance.
🔧 Core Components
Approximate Entropy (ApEn) Calculation : Measures the regularity or randomness of price fluctuations over a specified window. Low ApEn suggests predictability, while high ApEn suggests randomness.
Zone Trigger Logic : Creates potential support zones when ApEn crosses below its average (indicating increasing predictability) and potential resistance zones when it crosses above (indicating increasing randomness).
Significant Level Filter : Validates zone triggers only if they occur within a user-defined tick distance from significant price levels (multiples of 50).
Dynamic Zone Management : Automatically creates, extends, merges nearby zones based on tick distance, and removes the oldest zones to maintain a maximum limit.
Zone Visualization : Draws and updates colored boxes on the chart to represent active support, resistance, or mixed zones.
🔥 Key Features
Entropy-Based S/R Detection : Uses ApEn to identify potential support (low entropy) and resistance (high entropy) areas.
Significant Level Filtering : Enhances signal quality by focusing on entropy changes near key psychological price points.
Automatic Zone Drawing & Merging : Visualizes zones dynamically, merging close signals for clearer interpretation.
Highly Customizable : Allows traders to adjust parameters for ApEn calculation, zone detection thresholds, level filter sensitivity, merging distance, and visual styles.
Integrated Alerts : Provides built-in alert conditions for the formation of new bullish or bearish zones near significant levels.
Clear Visual Output : Uses distinct, customizable colors for buy (support), sell (resistance), and mixed (merged) zones.
🎨 Visualization
Buy Zones : Represented by greenish boxes (default: #26a69a), indicating potential support areas formed during low entropy periods near significant levels.
Sell Zones : Represented by reddish boxes (default: #ef5350), indicating potential resistance areas formed during high entropy periods near significant levels.
Mixed Zones : Represented by bluish/purple boxes (default: #8894ff), formed when a buy zone and a sell zone merge, indicating areas of potential consolidation or conflict.
Dynamic Extension : Active zones are automatically extended to the right with each new bar.

Mixed Border Color : Default: color.new(#a288ff, 50). Sets the border color for mixed zones.
Border Width : Default: 1, Range: 1-3. Sets the thickness of zone borders.
✅ Best Use Cases
Identifying potential support/resistance near significant psychological price levels (e.g., $50, $100 increments).
Detecting potential market turning points or consolidation zones based on shifts in price predictability.
Filtering entries or exits by confirming signals occurring near significant levels identified by the indicator.
Adding context to other technical analysis approaches by highlighting entropy-derived zones.
⚠️ Limitations
Parameter Dependency : Indicator performance is sensitive to parameter settings ( Window Length , Tolerance , Zone Threshold , Max Ticks Distance ), which may need optimization for different assets and timeframes.
Volatility Sensitivity : High market volatility or erratic price action can affect ApEn calculations and potentially lead to less reliable zone signals.
Fixed Level Filter : The significant level filter is based on multiples of 50. While common, this may not capture all relevant levels for every asset or market condition. Accurate Tick Size input is essential.
Not Standalone : Should be used in conjunction with other analysis methods (price action, volume, other indicators) for confirmation, not as a sole basis for trading decisions.
💡 What Makes This Unique
Entropy + Level Context : Uniquely combines ApEn analysis with a specific filter for proximity to significant price levels (multiples of 50), adding locational context to entropy signals.
Intelligent Zone Merging : Automatically consolidates nearby buy/sell zones based on tick distance, simplifying visual analysis and highlighting stronger confluence areas.
Targeted Signal Generation : Focuses alerts and zone creation on specific market conditions (entropy shifts near key levels).
🔬 How It Works
Calculate Entropy : The script computes the Approximate Entropy (ApEn) of the closing prices over the defined Window Length to quantify price predictability.
Check Triggers : It monitors ApEn relative to its moving average. A crossunder below a calculated threshold (avg_apen / zone_threshold) indicates potential support; a crossover above (avg_apen * zone_threshold) indicates potential resistance.
Filter by Level : A potential zone trigger is confirmed only if the low (for support) or high (for resistance) of the trigger bar is within the Max Ticks Distance of a significant price level (multiple of 50).
Manage & Draw Zones : If a trigger is confirmed, a new zone box is created. The script checks for overlaps with existing zones within the Zone Merge Distance and merges them if necessary. Zones are extended forward, and the oldest are removed to respect the Maximum Zones limit. Active zones are drawn and updated on the chart.
💡 Note:
Crucially, set the Tick Size parameter correctly for your specific trading instrument in the “Level Filter Settings”. Incorrect Tick Size will make the significant level filter inaccurate.
Experiment with parameters, especially Window Length , Tolerance (r) , Zone Threshold , and Max Ticks Distance , to tailor the indicator’s sensitivity to your preferred asset and timeframe.
Always use this indicator as part of a comprehensive trading plan, incorporating risk management and seeking confirmation from other analysis techniques.

Gamma + Fibonacci EMA Bands# Gamma + Fibonacci EMA Bands
## Overview
The Gamma + Fibonacci EMA Bands indicator combines two powerful analytical approaches: Gamma-weighted Exponential Moving Averages and Fibonacci sequence-based standard EMAs. This dual system creates a comprehensive "band" structure that helps identify trend direction, strength, and potential reversal zones with greater precision than single moving average systems.
## Features
- **Gamma-weighted EMAs**: Three customizable Gamma EMAs (fast-responding) with adjustable gamma parameters
- **Fibonacci Sequence EMAs**: Six standard EMAs based on the Fibonacci sequence (34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377)
- **Visual Band Structure**: Color-coded for instant visual analysis
- **Trend Confirmation**: Multiple timeframe validation through varied moving average periods
- **Support/Resistance Identification**: Natural price reaction zones highlighted by EMA confluences
## How It Works
The indicator uses two complementary EMA systems:
1. **Gamma EMAs** (γ-EMAs) - These responsive moving averages use a direct gamma weighting factor (between 0-1) rather than a period length. Lower gamma values create smoother lines, while higher values create more responsive ones. These react quickly to price changes and serve as short-term trend indicators.
2. **Fibonacci EMAs** - These traditional EMAs use period lengths based on the Fibonacci sequence (34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377). They provide longer-term trend context and naturally identify key support/resistance levels that align with market psychology.
## Interpretation
### Trend Direction
- When price is above all bands: Strong bullish trend
- When price is below all bands: Strong bearish trend
- When price is between bands: Consolidation or trend transition
### Support/Resistance
- Gamma EMAs (purple shades): Short-term dynamic support/resistance
- Fibonacci EMAs (orange/red shades): Stronger, longer-term support/resistance
### Trend Strength
- Wider band separation: Stronger trend momentum
- Compressed bands: Consolidation or trend weakness
### Reversal Signals
- Price breaking through multiple bands: Potential trend reversal
- Gamma EMAs crossing Fibonacci EMAs: Changing momentum
## Settings
- **Source**: Price data source (default: close)
- **Gamma 1**: Fast γ-EMA value (default: 0.2)
- **Gamma 2**: Medium γ-EMA value (default: 0.5)
- **Gamma 3**: Slow γ-EMA value (default: 0.8)
## Notes
This indicator works best on higher timeframes (1H+) and liquid markets. The Gamma-weighted EMAs provide faster signals while the Fibonacci sequence EMAs provide reliable support/resistance levels that often align with key market turning points.
For optimal use, watch for price interaction with these bands and how the bands interact with each other to confirm trend changes before they become obvious to the majority of market participants.
