Trend & Pullback Cycle How to use.
Trend Identification:
Green Columns: The cycle is above 50. Look for Longs.
Red Columns: The cycle is below 50. Look for Shorts.
Pullback Detection:
I added a Colour Change feature. If the Green bars turn Dark Green, it means momentum is fading (a pullback is happening). This is your signal to get ready to enter or add to a position once it turns Bright Green again.
The Yellow Line:
This is your trigger. In the screenshot, you see the bars cross the yellow line.
Entry Signal: When the Histogram crosses above the Yellow line (while generally green) or crosses below it (while generally red).

Adaptive Risk Management [sgbpulse]1. Introduction:
Adaptive Risk Management is an advanced indicator designed to provide traders with a comprehensive risk management tool directly on the chart. Instead of relying on complex manual calculations, the indicator automates all critical steps of trade planning. It dynamically calculates the estimated Entry Price , the Stop Loss location, the required Position Size (Quantity) based on your capital and risk limits, and the three Take Profit targets based on your defined Reward/Risk ratios. The indicator displays all these essential data points clearly and visually on the chart, ensuring you always know the potential risk-reward profile of every trade.
ARM : The A daptive R isk M anagement every trader needs to ARM themselves with.
2. The Critical Importance of Risk Management
Proper risk management is the cornerstone of successful trading. Consistent profitability in the market is impossible without rigorously defining risk limits.
Risk Control: This starts by setting the maximum risk amount you are willing to lose in a single trade (Risk per Trade), and limiting the total capital allocated to the position (Max Capital per Trade).
Defining Boundaries (Stop Loss & Take Profit): It is mandatory to define a technical Stop Loss and a Take Profit target. A fundamental rule of risk management is that the Reward/Risk Ratio (R/R) must be a minimum of 1:1.
3. Core Features, Adaptivity, and Customization
The Adaptive Risk Management indicator is engineered for use across all major trading styles, including Swing Trading, Intraday Trading, and Scalping, providing consistent risk control regardless of the chosen timeframe.
Real-Time Dynamic Adaptivity: The indicator calculates all risk management parameters (Entry, Stop Loss, Quantity) dynamically with every new bar, thus adapting instantly to changing market conditions.
Trend Direction Adjustment: Define the analysis direction (Long/Uptrend or Short/Downtrend).
Intraday Session Data Control: Full control over whether lookback calculations will include data from Extended Trading Hours (ETH), or if the daily calculations will start actively only from the first bar of Regular Trading Hours (RTH).
Status Validation: The indicator performs critical status checks and displays clear Warning Messages if risk conditions are not met.
4. Intuitive Visualization and Real-Time Data
Dynamic Tracking Lines: The Entry Price and Stop Loss lines are updated with every new bar. Crucially, the length of these lines dynamically reflects the calculation's lookback range (e.g., the extent of Lookback Bars or the location of the confirmed Pivot Point), providing a visual anchor for the calculated price.
Risk and Reward Zones: The indicator creates a graphical background fill between Entry and Stop Loss (marked with the risk color) and between Entry and the Reward Targets (marked with the reward color).
Essential Information Labels: Labels are placed at the end of each line, providing critical data: Estimated Entry Price, Stock/Contract Quantity (Quantity), Total Entry Amount, Estimated Stop Loss, Risk per Share, Total Financial Risk (Risk Amount), Exit Amount, Estimated Take Profit 1/2/3, Reward/Risk Ratio 1/2/3, Total Reward 1/2/3, TP Exit Amount 1/2/3.
4.1. Data Window Metrics (16 Full Series)
The indicator displays 16 full data series in the TradingView Data Window, allowing precise tracking of every calculation parameter:
Entry Data: Estimated Entry, Quantity, Entry Amount.
Risk Data (Stop Loss): Estimated Stop Loss, Risk per Share, Risk Amount, Exit Amount.
Reward Data (Take Profit): Estimated Take Profit 1/2/3, Reward/Risk Ratio 1/2/3, Total Reward 1/2/3, TP Exit Amount 1/2/3.
4.2. Instant Tracking in the Status Line
The indicator displays 6 critical parameters continuously in the indicator's Status Line: Estimated Entry, Quantity, Estimated Stop Loss, Estimated Take Profit 1/2/3.
5. Detailed Indicator Inputs
5.1 General
Focused Trend: Defines the analysis direction (Uptrend / Downtrend).
Max Capital per Trade: The maximum amount allocated to purchasing stocks/contracts (in account currency).
Risk per Trade: The maximum amount the user is willing to risk in this single trade (in account currency).
ATR Length: The lookback period for the Average True Range (ATR) calculation.
5.2 Intraday Session Data Control
Regular Hours Limitation : If enabled, all daily lookback calculations (for Entry/Stop Loss anchor points) will begin strictly from the first Regular Trading Hours (RTH) bar. This limits the lookback range to the current RTH session, excluding preceding Extended Trading Hours (ETH) data. Only relevant for Intraday charts. Default: False (Off)
5.3 Entry Inputs
Entry Method: Selects the entry price calculation method:
Current Price: Uses the closing price of the current bar as the estimated entry point (Market Entry).
ATR Real Bodies Margin :
- Uptrend: Calculates the Maximum Real Body over the lookback period + the calculated safety margin.
- Downtrend: Calculates the Minimum Real Body over the lookback period - the calculated safety margin.
ATR Bars Margin :
- Uptrend: Calculates the Maximum High price over the lookback period + the calculated safety margin.
- Downtrend: Calculates the Minimum Low price over the lookback period - the calculated safety margin.
Lookback Bars: The number of bars used to calculate the extremes in the ATR-based entry methods (Relevant only for ATR Real Bodies Margin and ATR Bars Margin methods).
ATR Multiplier (Entry): The multiplier applied to the ATR value. The result of the multiplication is the calculated safety margin used to determine the estimated Entry Price.
5.4 Risk Inputs (Stop Loss)
Risk Method: Selects the Stop Loss price calculation method.
ATR Current Price Margin :
- Uptrend: Entry Price - the calculated safety margin.
- Downtrend: Entry Price + the calculated safety margin.
ATR Current Bar Margin :
- Uptrend: Current Bar's Low price - the calculated safety margin.
- Downtrend: Current Bar's High price + the calculated safety margin.
ATR Bars Margin :
- Uptrend: Lowest Low over lookback period - the calculated safety margin.
- Downtrend: Highest High over lookback period + the calculated safety margin.
ATR Pivot Margin :
- Uptrend: The first confirmed Pivot Low point - the calculated safety margin.
- Downtrend: The first confirmed Pivot High point + the calculated safety margin.
Lookback Bars: The lookback period for finding the extreme price used in the 'ATR Bars Margin' calculation.
ATR Multiplier (Risk): The multiplier applied to the ATR value. The result of the multiplication is the calculated safety margin used to place the estimated Stop Loss. Note: If set to 0, the Stop Loss will be placed exactly at the technical anchor point, provided the Minimum Margin Value is also 0.
Minimum Margin Value: The minimum price value (e.g., $0.01) the Stop Loss margin buffer must be.
Pivot (Left / Right): The number of bars required on either side of the pivot bar for confirmation (relevant only for the ATR Pivot Margin method).
5.5 Reward Inputs (Take Profit)
Show Take Profit 1/2/3: ON/OFF switch to control the visibility of each Take Profit target.
Reward/Risk Ratio 1/ 2/ 3: Defines the R/R ratio for the profit target. Must be ≥1.0.
6. Indicator Status/Warning Messages
In situations where the Stop Loss location cannot be calculated logically and validly, often caused by a mismatch between the configured Focused Trend (Uptrend/Downtrend) and the actual price action, the indicator will display a warning message, explaining the reason and suggesting corrective action.
Status Message 1: Pivot reference unavailable
Condition: The Stop Loss is set to the "ATR Pivot Margin" method, but the anchor point (Pivot) is missing or inaccessible.
Message Displayed: "Pivot reference unavailable. Wait for valid price action, or adjust the Regular Hours Limitation setting or Pivot Left/Right inputs."
Status Message 2: Calculated Stop Loss is unsafe
Condition: The calculated Stop Loss is placed illogically or unsafely relative to the trend direction and the Entry price.
Message Displayed: "Calculated Stop Loss is unsafe for current trend. Wait for valid price action or adjust SL Lookback/Multiplier."
7. Summary
The Adaptive Risk Management (ARM) indicator provides a seamless and systematic approach to trade execution and risk control. By dynamically automating all critical trade parameters—from Entry Price and Stop Loss placement to Position Sizing and Take Profit targets—ARM removes emotional bias and ensures every trade adheres strictly to your predefined risk profile.
Key Benefits:
Systematic Risk Control: Strict enforcement of maximum capital allocation and risk per trade limits.
Adaptivity: Dynamic calculation of prices and quantities based on real-time market data (ATR and Lookback).
Clarity and Trust: Clear on-chart visualization, precise data metrics (16 series), and unambiguous Status/Warning Messages ensure transparency and reliability.
ARM allows traders to focus on strategy and analysis, confident that their execution complies with the core principles of professional risk management.

Fekry BB Entry/Exit with EMA FilterThis indicator is based on Bollinger Bands and exponential moving average strategy by Mr Kekry Zain
BTC - FRIC: Friction & Realized Intensity CompositeTitle: BTC - FRIC: Friction & Realized Intensity Composite
Data: IntoTheBlock
Overview & Philosophy
FRIC (Friction & Realized Intensity Composite) is a specialized on-chain oscillator designed to visualize the "psychological battlegrounds" of the Bitcoin network.
Most indicators focus on Price or Momentum. FRIC focuses on Cost Basis. It operates on the thesis that the market experiences maximum "Friction" when the price revisits the cost basis of a large number of holders. These are the zones where investors are emotionally triggered to react—either to exit "at breakeven" after a loss (creating resistance) or to defend their entry (creating support).
This indicator answers two questions simultaneously:
Intensity: Is the market hitting a Wall (High Friction) or a Vacuum (Low Friction)?
Valuation: Is this happening at a market bottom or a top?
The "Alpha" (Wall vs. Vacuum)
Why we visualize both extremes: This indicator filters out the "Noise" (the middle range) to show you only the statistically significant anomalies.
1. The "Wall" (Positive Z-Score Bars)
What it is : A statistically high number of addresses are at breakeven.
The Implication : Expect a grind. Price action often slows down or reverses here because "Bag Holders" are selling into strength to get out flat, or new buyers are establishing a floor.
2. The "Vacuum" (Negative Z-Score Bars)
What it is : A statistically low number of addresses are at breakeven.
The Implication : Expect acceleration. The price is moving through a zone where very few people have a cost basis. With no natural "breakeven supply" to block the path, price often enters Price Discovery or Free Fall.
Methodology
The indicator constructs a composite view using two premium metrics from IntoTheBlock:
1. The "Activity" (Friction Z-Score): We utilize the Breakeven Addresses Percentage. This measures the % of all addresses where the current price equals the average cost basis.
- Normalization: We apply a rolling Z-Score (Standard Deviation) to this data.
- The Filter: We hide the "Noise" (e.g., Z-Scores between -2.0 and +2.0) to isolate only the events where market structure is truly stretched.
2. The "Context" (Valuation Heatmap): We utilize the MVRV Ratio to color-code the friction.
Deep Value (< 1.0): Price is below the average "Fair Value" of the network.
Overheated (> 3.0): Price is significantly extended above the "Fair Value."
Credit: The MVRV Ratio was originally conceptualized by Murad Mahmudov and David Puell. It remains one of the gold standards for detecting Bitcoin's fair value deviations.
How to Read the Indicator
The chart is visualized as a Noise-Filtered Heatmap.
1. The Bars (Intensity)
Bars Above Zero: High Friction (Congestion). The market is fighting through a supply wall.
Bars Below Zero: Low Friction (Vacuum). The market is accelerating through thin air.
Gray/Ghosted: Noise. Routine market activity; no significant signal.
2. The Colors (Valuation Context) The color tells you why the friction is happening:
🟦 Deep Blue (The "Capitulation Buy"):
Signal: High Friction + Low MVRV.
Meaning : Investors are panic-selling at breakeven/loss, but the asset is fundamentally undervalued. Historically, these are high-conviction cycle bottoms.
🟥 Dark Red (The "FOMO Sell"):
Signal: High Friction + High MVRV.
Meaning : Investors are churning at high valuations. Smart money is often distributing to late retail arrivers. Historically marks cycle tops.
🟨 Yellow/Orange (The "Trend Battle"):
Signal: High Friction + Neutral MVRV.
Meaning : The market is contesting a level within a trend (e.g., a mid-cycle correction).
Visual Guide & Features
10-Zone Heatmap: A granular color gradient that shifts from Dark Blue (Deep Value) → Sky Blue → Grey (Neutral) → Orange → Dark Red (Top).
Noise Filter
A unique feature that "ghosts out" insignificant data, leaving only the statistically relevant signals visible.
Data Check Monitor
A diagnostic table in the bottom-right corner that confirms the live connection to IntoTheBlock data streams and displays the current regime in real-time.
Settings
Lookback Period (Default: 90): The rolling window used for the Z-Score calculation. Shortening this (e.g., to 30) makes the indicator more sensitive to local volatility; lengthening it (e.g., to 365) aligns it with macro cycles.
Noise Threshold (Default: 2.0): The strictness of the filter. Only friction events exceeding this Z-Score will be highlighted in full color.
Show Status Table : Toggles the on-screen dashboard.

BT SpikeBT Spike is a lightweight but highly effective alert engine designed to identify
moments of unusual volatility and volume expansion . These spikes often appear
at the very beginning of major moves, giving traders early insight into:
Momentum ignition
Breakout confirmation
Liquidity shifts
Stop runs & displacement moves
Trend acceleration
High-impact expansions before news or volatility events
Rather than watching charts all day, BT Spike allows traders to receive
instant alerts whenever the market enters an abnormal volatility regime.
---
■ What BT Spike Measures
1. ATR Spike
Detects sudden expansion in true range (micro-volatility).
This often marks the beginning of a displacement candle.
2. Volume Spike
Identifies candles where volume exceeds typical market participation.
3. Combined Spike
A powerful signal triggered only when both conditions occur together:
ATR Spike AND Volume Spike
4. Spike Score (0–100)
A normalized measure of spike intensity.
• Higher score → Stronger anomaly
• 90+ → Extreme event (liquidity shifts, stop runs, institutional activity)
---
■ Visual Elements
• True Range Line
Shows per-candle volatility relative to baseline ATR.
• Volume Bars (Color-Scaled)
Volume bars turn:
Green for bullish spikes
Red for bearish spikes
Intensity based on Spike Score
Gray during normal activity
This creates a clear volatility heatmap directly in the volume panel.
• Spike Score Histogram
Helps visually identify:
Minor spikes
Major volatility clusters
Extreme anomalies
• Threshold Lines
Yellow = Minor
Orange = Major
Red = Extreme
---
■ Why BT Spike Is Useful
Spike-based analysis helps traders:
Catch large moves early
Confirm breakouts and avoid fake ones
Identify when smart money enters the market
Find the start of momentum legs
Monitor many charts with alerts instead of manual watching
A spike is often the first footprint of a meaningful move.
---
■ Practical Trading Uses
1. Breakout Confirmation
A breakout with no spike is often weak.
A breakout with a spike is typically genuine and sustained.
2. Reversal Detection
Extreme spike after a sweep often signals a reversal event.
3. Trend Ignition
Spikes frequently occur at the beginning of:
Trend legs
News-driven surges
Momentum continuation moves
4. Divergence With Price
High-volume, high-ATR spikes with little price movement can indicate:
Absorption
Trap conditions
Exhaustion
5. Alert-Driven Market Monitoring
Set alerts for:
ATR Spike
Volume Spike
Combined Spike
Major Spike (Score ≥ threshold)
Extreme Spike (Score ≥ threshold)
This allows traders to walk away while still catching every volatility event.
---
■ Spike Score Guide
0–30 → Mild noise
30–60 → Minor shift
60–80 → Strong volatility expansion
80–95 → Major spike (high-impact)
95–100 → Extreme event (institutional presence, sweeps, stop runs)
---
■ Final Summary
BT Spike gives traders:
Early detection of volatility expansion
Bull/Bear intensity visualization
Powerful alert automation
A universal signal layer that fits any strategy
Cleaner insight into where major moves originate
BT Spike = Your volatility radar .
It tells you when to look at a chart—before the move happens.

Affirmify AI — Entry PrecisionAffirmify AI — Entry Precision is a multi-factor directional model with entry-quality filter and ATR-based SL/TP, synced with the Affirmify core engine.
What is Affirmify AI — Entry Precision?
Affirmify AI — Entry Precision is the TradingView front-end of the Affirmify core model.
It combines:
multi-timeframe trend filters
momentum & volatility conditions
an entry-quality check (candle body vs ATR)
ATR-based SL/TP engine
The script is designed to mirror the logic of the Affirmify Python backend used on AffirmifyHub.com.
Core idea
1.Score (core direction):
Built from ADX, EMA trend, RSI zone, MACD histogram, DI+/DI- and ATR volatility penalty.
Score ≥ +2 → BUY bias
Score ≤ −2 → SELL bias
Between −1 and +1 → no clear direction.
2.Higher-timeframe (MTF) confirmation:
Same style of scoring on a higher TF (default 4H).
If MTF direction conflicts with the main timeframe, the script will show “MTF conflict / NO TRADE” and block signals.
3.Entry quality filter:
Checks if the candle body is large enough vs ATR (Min body size (x ATR)).
Output:
CONFIRMED – direction + volatility + body are aligned
WAIT FOR BETTER ENTRY – direction ok, but body is too small
NO QUALITY ENTRY – conditions are not met.
4.ATR-based SL/TP engine:
Internal engine (uses ATR × multiplier or minimal tick distance).
Values are shown on the panel only (no lines drawn on chart), so the chart stays clean.
Panel overview
The panel in the top-right shows:
Action – BUY / SELL / NO TRADE
Status – CONFIRMED / WAIT FOR BETTER ENTRY / NO SIGNAL / MTF conflict
Entry – last confirmed entry price
SL / TP – suggested ATR-based stop-loss and take-profit
Higher TF – higher timeframe filter state (ON/OFF and TF used)
Score – core multi-factor score on the current timeframe
Vol – “Normal volatility” or “Low volatility (ATR penalized)”
Inputs – quick guide
Trend & Filters
EMA Fast / Mid / Slow – EMAs used for trend & bias detection
ADX Length – period for ADX (trend strength)
RSI Length – period for RSI zone filter
ATR Length – ATR used for volatility & body/SL/TP logic
Low ATR threshold (% of price) – defines when the market is considered “low volatility”.
Higher timeframe confirmation
Use higher timeframe filter – enable / disable MTF confirmation
Higher TF – e.g. 240 (4H), 60 (1H), etc.
Entry Precision
Min body size (x ATR) – minimum body vs ATR required for a CONFIRMED entry.
SL / TP
Min SL = ATR x – minimal ATR distance for SL
Min TP = ATR x – minimal ATR distance for TP
Min SL in ticks / Min TP in ticks – hard floor, based on instrument tick size.
Visuals
Show info panel – show / hide the top-right dashboard
Show status badges – textual badges above the last candle
Draw ENTRY/SL/TP (panel only, legacy) – kept for compatibility; does not draw lines in this version.
Alerts
The script provides three alert conditions:
Affirmify: BUY confirmed
Triggered when BUY direction is aligned and entry quality is CONFIRMED (no MTF conflict).
Affirmify: SELL confirmed
Triggered when SELL direction is aligned and entry quality is CONFIRMED (no MTF conflict).
Affirmify: wait for better entry
Direction is valid, but candle body is not yet strong enough – potential setup forming.
You can connect these alerts to your own automation, bots or dashboards.
How to use it (typical workflow)
Select your symbol and timeframe (most users focus on 1H / 4H).
Wait for the panel to show a clear Action (BUY or SELL) with a solid Score (≥ +2 or ≤ −2).
Look for Status = CONFIRMED for actual entries.
Use the panel SL / TP values as a starting point for your own risk management.
Avoid trades when:
Status shows “NO SIGNAL” or “NO CLEAR DIRECTION”
MTF conflict is active
Volatility is extremely low for your style.

VOLX+ VWAP Range BandsVOLX+ plots multiple VWAP-weighted high/low channels across different lookback periods to show how price behaves relative to short-term and long-term value zones.
Instead of using a single VWAP line, this tool creates four rolling VWAP envelopes:
Short-term range (fast reaction)
Mid-term range
Mid-mid range (transitional layer)
Long-term range (macro context)
Each band is computed as:
VWAP-High = SMA(high × volume, length) ÷ SMA(volume, length)
VWAP-Low = SMA(low × volume, length) ÷ SMA(volume, length)
This produces dynamic price channels that account for both price and traded volume, offering a clearer sense of where the market is accepting or rejecting value.
What It Shows
Four VWAP-weighted high/low bands
A short-term VWAP midline
Price line
Three SMAs for trend context
Optional visibility switches for each VWAP band
The filled regions between VWAP highs and lows create a layered “value map,” helping you interpret:
Trend continuation (price hugging outer VWAP bands)
Mean reversion (price returning toward inner bands)
Volatility contraction/expansion
Shifts in short-term vs long-term balance
🧠 How to Use
Use the short-term band for day-trading context or detecting short-term excess.
Use mid-term and mid-mid bands to confirm developing structure.
Use the long-term VWAP band to understand broader value zones.
Combine VWAP bands with SMAs and structure analysis for confluence.
This indicator is intended for price interpretation and analytical support.
✔ Does Not Repaint
The script uses rolling VWAP formulas and standard MAs; everything is stable and non-repainting.
BT Delta AbsorptionBT Absorption detects aggressive counterflow volume—moments where one side
of the market (buyers or sellers) attacks aggressively, yet price fails to move
proportionally.
This is the classic definition of absorption:
"Large market orders are being absorbed by strong passive limit orders."
Absorption is one of the most reliable early signals for:
Reversals
Trap conditions
Failed breakouts
Liquidity grabs
Fake displacement moves
---
■ What BT Absorption Measures
1. Delta Imbalance
Identifies when buying or selling pressure becomes unusually one-sided.
2. Volatility Mismatch
Shows when large delta does NOT translate into meaningful price movement.
3. Absorption Strength Score
A normalized reading (often 0–100) showing the intensity of counterflow activity.
4. Wick & Structure Absorption
Wick-driven absorption helps identify:
Failed sweeps
Stop hunts
Rejection zones
Trapped traders
---
■ Why Absorption Matters
Absorption almost always precedes:
Reversals
Failed breakout moves
SMC/ICT-style displacement
Order block formation
Trend continuation after a trap
When aggressive traders cannot move price toward their desired direction,
the move typically reverses quickly—and with force.
---
■ Visual Elements
• Bull Absorption Marker
Often appears near lows—signals seller aggression failing to push price down.
• Bear Absorption Marker
Often appears near highs—signals buyer aggression failing to break higher.
• Absorption Score Heatmap (optional)
Shows intensity of absorption per candle.
• Threshold Levels
Identify when absorption becomes statistically significant.
---
■ How to Use BT Absorption in Trading
1. Reversal Detection
Look for absorption after:
Equal highs/lows
Sweeps
Stop runs
Breakout failures
This is often the earliest possible signal that a reversal is coming.
2. Filter Breakouts
A breakout without absorption is usually weak.
A breakout with absorption against it is likely a fakeout.
3. Confirm SMC/ICT Concepts
The indicator pairs perfectly with:
Fair Value Gaps
Order Blocks
Liquidity sweeps
Displacement legs
If your setup triggers and absorption confirms → high confidence.
4. Identify Trap Conditions
Absorption often marks:
Trapped breakout chasers
Trapped trend shorts
Imbalanced orderflow
These create ideal high-R trades.
5. Alert-Driven Market Monitoring
Use alerts for:
Bull Absorption
Bear Absorption
High-strength absorption
Absorption clusters
This allows traders to step away from charts while still catching
high-probability reversals.
---
■ High-Probability Absorption Setups
A) Sweep + Absorption
Swept level → absorption → enter opposite direction.
B) Failed Breakout Absorption
Breaks structure → delta fails → absorption prints → strong reversal.
C) Trend Continuation Absorption
Absorption against the correction often precedes continuation.
D) Absorption Clusters
Multiple absorption signals indicate a structural market shift.
---
■ Final Summary
BT Absorption provides:
Early reversal signals
Counterflow pressure detection
Confirmation for existing setups
Identification of liquidity traps
Alert-based monitoring across multiple markets
BT Absorption is the perfect complement to BT Spike:
• BT Spike = detects volatility ignition
• BT Absorption = detects failed aggression + reversals
Combined, they form a complete liquidity and orderflow toolkit.

Scary Flush Indicator R0Work in progress.
Calculates the gradient based on candle lows (previous low to current low). Works on all time frames.
Looks for a selling gradient of >0.75pts per minute then highlights. Anything less than this indicates a lazy grind down and indicates a potential invalidation for the FBD.
RV − IV Spread Alert (SPY vs VIX)Realized vs Implied Volatility Spread (RV − IV) for the S&P 500 / SPY.
Plots the daily difference between 30-day realized volatility (SPY) and implied volatility (VIX) in basis points.
Key insight from the research: when the spread turns and stays above ≈ +50 bps, forward returns historically degrade and volatility of returns rises sharply — a useful early-warning regime flag.
Features:
- Clean daily plot of RV − IV in bps
- Horizontal lines at 0, −50 bps and +50 bps
- Red background when spread > +50 bps
- Built-in alert condition that fires once per bar close when spread closes above +50 bps
- Optional “all-clear” alert when it drops back below
Use on SPY or ES1! daily chart. Perfect for anyone wanting a simple notification when the market enters the “risk-on” volatility regime highlighted by Machina Quanta and the original Bali & Hovakimian (2007) paper.
Triple ATR Adaptive MAs + VWAP Option + Clouds + Candle Trend V2Another one of my experiences ... combining things...
📘 Indicator Description – Triple ATR Adaptive Moving Averages with VWAP Influence
This indicator plots three adaptive moving averages whose behavior changes dynamically based on market volatility (ATR) and optionally VWAP deviation.
Because they adapt in real time to both volatility and VWAP pressure, their movement, slope, and reaction speed differ significantly from traditional moving averages.
🔶 1. ATR-Adaptive Moving Averages
Each of the three MAs uses a custom adaptive formula:
ATR (Average True Range) is measured over a chosen period.
Higher ATR → more volatility → the MA becomes more reactive and moves closer to price.
Lower ATR → stable market → the MA becomes smoother and slower.
This creates a volatility-aware smoothing factor, making the MA expand, contract, and respond to market conditions in ways a classic SMA, EMA, or HMA cannot.
🔷 2. Optional VWAP Influence
Each MA has an independent toggle allowing it to be influenced by VWAP.
When enabled:
The MA is gently “pulled” toward VWAP.
The strength of this attraction is determined by the VWAP Influence parameter (0–1).
This causes the moving averages to behave differently from normal MAs:
In trending markets, the ATR and price push the MA away from VWAP.
In mean-reverting or balanced conditions, VWAP pulls the MA back toward fair value.
The result is an MA that reflects both trend pressure and fair-value pressure.
🔶 3. Visual Behavior: Non-Traditional Movement
Because each MA is simultaneously influenced by volatility, trend magnitude, and VWAP deviation, their shape is often very distinct from normal moving averages.
They may:
Respond faster during high volatility
Flatten out earlier during consolidation
Curve toward VWAP when price becomes extended
Separate or compress depending on ATR strength
This is intentional and essential, since the goal is to show:
✔ Volatility expansion
✔ Trend exhaustion
✔ Overextended price relative to VWAP
✔ Dynamic trend confirmation
Rather than simply smoothing past price.
🔷 4. Three Independent Adaptive Lines
Each of the three moving averages has:
Its own ATR length
Its own sensitivity multiplier
Its own optional VWAP influence
Its own color and trail
This allows the user to combine:
a fast volatility-adaptive trend line
a mid-range adaptive baseline
a slow adaptive long-trend MA
All adapting independently to volatility and VWAP conditions.
🔶 5. Optional Candle Coloring
The indicator can color candles according to trend strength derived from the fast/slow MAs.
Stronger trends produce more vivid colors. Neutral or conflicting trends produce softer colors.
This adds a visual layer to identify:
Trend direction
Trend strength
Volatility state
Market compression
at a glance.
📌 Summary
This indicator does not behave like standard SMAs or EMAs because each line dynamically adapts to:
🔸 ATR (volatility)
🔸 VWAP (fair value)
This makes the indicator extremely responsive to market conditions while still reducing noise during stable phases.
It provides a more realistic, context-aware, and intelligent representation of price behavior compared to traditional moving averages.
TradePulse ProTradepulse is a proprietary trading tool that combines a directional signal engine, a trend-adaptive trailing stop system, and a momentum confirmation oscillator into a unified decision framework. Instead of simply stacking separate indicators on a chart, TradePulse integrates these components into a single rules-based system designed to help traders act with structure rather than emotion by identifying conditions where trend and momentum are aligning.
How It Works:
Directional Signals - TradePulse uses a custom price-average model with ATR-based volatility thresholds to detect transitions between bullish and bearish environments. Buy and Sell markers appear only when price strength and volatility conditions confirm a shift. Reducing noise and late entries.
Trend-Adaptive Trailing Stop - A dynamic trailing system combines smoothed moving averages with ATR expansion logic. As price develops, the trailing level adjusts automatically and target projections update based on symmetry extensions. Helping guide structured exits and trade management.
Momentum Confirmation - A proprietary oscillator blends stochastic positioning with center-of-gravity transformation and dual smoothing. It highlights whether momentum aligns with the directional shift, helping traders avoid weaker setups and focus on higher-quality conditions.
Key Features:
- Clear Buy/Sell transitions based on multi-factor confluence
- Adaptive trailing stop + projected targets for structured management
- Momentum filtering to support higher-quality opportunities
- Sensitivity adjustments to suit different markets & styles

Volatility-Dynamic Risk Manager MNQ [HERMAN]Title: Volatility-Dynamic Risk Manager MNQ
Description:
The Volatility-Dynamic Risk Manager is a dedicated risk management utility designed specifically for traders of Micro Nasdaq 100 Futures (MNQ).
Many traders struggle with position sizing because they use a fixed Stop Loss size regardless of market conditions. A 10-point stop might be safe in a slow market but easily stopped out in a high-volatility environment. This indicator solves that problem by monitoring real-time volatility (using ATR) and automatically suggesting the appropriate Stop Loss size and Position Size (Contracts) to keep your dollar risk constant.
Note: This tool is hardcoded for MNQ (Micro Nasdaq) with a tick value calculation of $2 per point.
📈 How It Works
-This script operates on a logical flow that adapts to market behavior:
-Volatility Measurement: It calculates the Average True Range (ATR) over a user-defined length (Default: 14) to gauge the current "speed" of the market.
-State Detection: Based on the current ATR, the script classifies the market into one of three states:
Low Volatility: The market is chopping or moving slowly.
Normal Volatility: Standard trading conditions.
High Volatility: The market is moving aggressively.
Dynamic Stop Loss Selection: Depending on the detected state, the script selects a pre-defined Stop Loss (in points) that you have configured for that specific environment.
Position Sizing Calculation: Finally, it calculates how many MNQ contracts you can trade so that if your Stop Loss is hit, you do not lose more than your defined "Max Risk per Trade."
🧮 Methodology & Calculations
Since this script handles risk management, transparency in calculation is vital.
Here is the exact math used:
ATR Calculation: Contracts = Max Risk / Risk Per Contract
⚙️ Settings
You can fully customize the behavior of the risk manager via the settings panel:
Risk Management
-Max Risk per Trade ($): The maximum amount of USD you are willing to lose on a single trade.
Volatility Thresholds (ATR)
-ATR Length: The lookback period for volatility calculation.
-Upper Limit for LOW Volatility: If ATR is below this number, the market is "Low Volatility."
-Lower Limit for HIGH Volatility: If ATR is above this number, the market is "High Volatility." (Anything between Low and High is considered "Normal").
Stop Loss Settings (Points)
-SL for Low/Normal/High: Define how wide your stop loss should be in points for each of the three market states.
Visual Settings
-Color Theme: Switch between Light and Dark modes.
-Panel Position: Move the dashboard to any corner or center of your chart.
-Panel Size: Adjust the scale (Tiny to Large) to fit your screen resolution.
📊 Dashboard Overview
-The on-screen panel provides a quick-glance summary for live execution:
-Market State: Color-coded status (Green = Low Vol, Orange = Normal, Red = High Vol).
-Current ATR: The live volatility reading.
-Suggested SL: The Stop Loss size you should enter in your execution platform.
-CONTRACTS: The calculated position size.
-Est. Loss: The actual dollar amount you will lose if the stop is hit (usually slightly less than your Max Risk due to rounding down).
Who is this for?
-Discretionary and systematic futures traders on MNQ (/MNQ or MES also works with small adjustments)
-Anyone who wants perfect risk consistency regardless of whether the market is asleep or exploding
-Traders who hate manual position-size calculations on every trade

Volume profilerMulti-Range Volume Analysis & Absorption Detection
This tool visualises market activity through multi-range volume profiling and absorption signal detection. It helps you quickly identify where volume expands, compresses, or diverges from expected behaviour.
What it does
Volume Profiler plots four volume EMAs (short / mid / long / longer) so you can gauge how current volume compares to different market regimes.
It also highlights structural volume extremes:
• Low-volume bars (liquidity withdrawal)
These are potential signs of exhaustion, pauses, or low liquidity environments.
• High-volume + Low-range absorption
A classic footprint-style signal where aggressive volume fails to move price.
Often seen during:
absorption of one side of the book
liquidity collection
failed breakouts
institutional accumulation/distribution
You can choose:
which EMA defines “high volume”
how to measure candle range (High-Low, True Range, or Body)
how to define baseline volatility (ATR or average range)
Alerts are included so you can monitor absorption automatically.
Features
Multi-range volume EMAs (10 / 50 / 100 / 300 by default)
Low-volume bar flags
Absorption detection based on custom thresholds
Customisable volatility baseline
Optional bar colouring
Labels displayed directly in the volume pane
Alert conditions for absorption events
How to use
This indicator is valuable for:
confirming trend strength or weakness
detecting absorption before reversal or breakout continuation
finding low-liquidity pauses
identifying volume expansion across different time horizons
footprint-style behavioural confirmation without needing order-flow data
Works across all markets and timeframes.

Value Charts by Mark Helweg1. Introduction
This script is a simplified implementation of the Value Charts concept introduced by Mark Helweg and David Stendahl in their work on “Dynamic Trading Indicators”. It converts raw price into value units by normalizing distance from a dynamic fair‑value line, making it easier to see when price is relatively overvalued or undervalued across different markets and timeframes. The code focuses on plotting Value Chart candlesticks and clean visual bands, keeping the logic close to the original idea while remaining lightweight for intraday and swing trading.
2. Key Features
- Dynamic fair‑value axis
Uses a moving average of the chosen price source as the fair‑value line and a volatility‑based deviation (smoothed True Range) to scale all price moves into comparable value units.
- Normalized Value Chart candlesticks
OHLC prices are transformed into value units and displayed as a dedicated candlestick panel, visually similar to standard candles but detached from raw price, highlighting relative extremes instead of absolute levels.
- Custom upper and lower visual limits
User‑defined upper and lower bands frame the majority of action and emphasize extreme value zones, helping the trader spot potential exhaustion or mean‑reversion conditions at a glance.
- Clean, publishing‑friendly layout
Only the normalized candles and three simple reference lines (top, bottom, zero) are plotted, keeping the chart uncluttered and compliant with presentation standards for published scripts.
3. How to Use
1. Attach the indicator to a separate pane (overlay = false) on any market and timeframe you trade.
2. Set the “Period (Value Chart)” to control how fast the fair‑value line adapts: shorter values react more quickly, longer values smooth more.
3. Adjust the “Volatility Factor” so that most candles stay between the upper and lower limits, with only true extremes touching or exceeding them.
4. Use the Value Chart candlesticks as a relative overbought/oversold tool:
- Candles pressing into the Top band suggest overvalued conditions and potential for pullbacks or reversions.
- Candles pressing into the Bottom band suggest undervalued conditions and potential for bounces.
5. Combine the signals with your existing price‑action, volume, or trend‑filter rules on the main chart; the Value Chart panel is designed as a context and timing tool, not a standalone trading system.
Combined: Net Volume, RSI & ATR# Combined: Net Volume, RSI & ATR Indicator
## Overview
This custom TradingView indicator overlays **Net Volume** and **RSI (Relative Strength Index)** on the same chart panel, with RSI scaled to match the visual range of volume spikes. It also displays **ATR (Average True Range)** values in a table.
## Key Features
### Net Volume
- Calculates buying vs selling pressure by analyzing lower timeframe data
- Displays as a **yellow line** centered around zero
- Automatically selects optimal timeframe or allows manual override
- Shows net buying pressure (positive values) and selling pressure (negative values)
### RSI (Relative Strength Index)
- Traditional 14-period RSI displayed as a **blue line**
- **Overlays directly on the volume chart** - scaled to match volume spike heights
- Includes **70/30 overbought/oversold levels** (shown as dotted red/green lines)
- Adjustable scale factor to fine-tune visual sizing relative to volume
- Optional **smoothing** with multiple moving average types (SMA, EMA, RMA, WMA, VWMA)
- Optional **Bollinger Bands** around RSI smoothing line
- **Divergence detection** - identifies regular bullish/bearish divergences with labels
### ATR (Average True Range)
- Displays current ATR value in a **table at top-right corner**
- Configurable period length (default: 50)
- Multiple smoothing methods: RMA, SMA, EMA, or WMA
- Helps assess current market volatility
## Use Cases
- **Momentum & Volume Confirmation**: See if RSI trends align with net volume flows
- **Divergence Trading**: Automatically spots when price makes new highs/lows but RSI doesn't
- **Volatility Assessment**: Monitor ATR for position sizing and stop-loss placement
- **Overbought/Oversold + Volume**: Identify exhaustion when RSI hits extremes with volume spikes
## Customization
All components can be toggled on/off independently. RSI scale factor allows you to adjust how prominent the RSI line appears relative to volume bars.
VIX Termstructure Indicator (Overlay)This indicator visualizes the VIX futures term structure directly on your chart background and highlights three key volatility regimes using color coding. It helps identify when the volatility curve is in normal contango, inverted (backwardation), or undergoing a curve flip between the front-month VIX futures.
What the indicator does
The script pulls and compares:
VIX spot index: VIX
Front-month VIX futures: VX1!
Second-month VIX futures: VX2!
All data is requested on the daily timeframe and used to classify the current volatility environment. The indicator then colors the background of your chart according to the detected VIX term structure:
Green background – Contango:
VIX spot is below the front-month futures (VIX < VX1!).
This is typically associated with more “normal” market conditions and lower perceived short-term stress.
Red background – Inverted curve (Backwardation):
VIX spot is above the front-month futures (VIX > VX1!).
This often signals elevated fear, stress, or risk-off conditions in the market.
Yellow background – Curve flip between VX1! and VX2!:
The front-month futures are trading above the second-month futures (VX1! > VX2!).
This can indicate a transition phase in the volatility term structure and may precede or accompany shifts in market sentiment.
How it works
The script fetches the daily close values of VIX, VX1!, and VX2!. It checks whether the front-month futures are above the second-month futures to detect a curve flip. It compares VIX with VX1! to determine if the curve is contango or inverted. Based on these conditions, the chart background is colored with a semi-transparent overlay:
Red has priority when VIX is above VX1! (inverted curve).
If not inverted, yellow is shown when a curve flip VX1! > VX2! is detected.
Otherwise, the background is green (normal contango).
Use cases
This overlay is designed as a context tool for indices, ETFs, Options, or individual stocks that are sensitive to volatility and risk sentiment. Typical applications include:
Identifying periods of heightened risk (red / inverted curve) to adjust position sizing or risk exposure.
Confirming risk-on environments (green / contango) where volatility is more contained.
Monitoring yellow curve-flip phases as potential early warnings of changing volatility regimes.
The indicator does not generate buy/sell signals on its own, but it can be a valuable regime filter or confirmation layer alongside other technical tools.
Notes
This is an overlay indicator: it colors the background of your active chart.
All VIX-related data is evaluated on the daily timeframe, regardless of the chart timeframe.
Make sure that the symbols VIX, VX1!, and VX2! are available on your broker/data feed in TradingView.
