Forward-Backward Exponential Oscillator [LuxAlgo]The Forward-Backward Exponential Oscillator is a normalized oscillator able to estimate directional shifts by making use of a unique "Forward-Backward Filtering" calculation method for Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs).
This unique method provides a smooth normalized representation of the price with reduced lag.
🔶 USAGE
The oscillator consists of 2 series of values derived from normalizing the sum of each EMA's change across the selected user lookback window (length), one less reactive computed forward (in grey), and the other re-calculated backward for each bar (in blue).
Given this "Forward-Backwards" calculation method, we are able to produce a more reactive oscillator compared to the same operation done on a simple double-smoothed EMA.
The interaction between these 2 values (Forward Value and Backward Value) can highlight shifts in market momentum over time.
When the Forward Value is above the Backward Value, the price is seen moving up, and likewise, when the Forward EMA is below, the Backward EMA price is seen moving down.
The indicator specifically displays the difference between values through a histogram located at the 50 mark on the oscillator.
🔹 Projection
We project the approximated future values of the forward value in front of the current line. This helps show the data that is being used for the creation of the Forward Value.
🔹 Length & Smoothing
The Smoothing Input controls the length of the EMAs which are analyzed.
The Length Input controls the lookback for the sum of changes from the EMAs.
Displayed below is a comparison of varying input sizes and their results.
As seen above:
A larger length input will result in slower, gradual movement by the oscillator since the summed values are from a larger lookback.
A higher smoothing setting will result in smoother EMAs, leading to a smoother oscillator output that is less contaminated by noisy variations.
Note: The length of the projection is tied to the "length" input, to get a longer projection, a larger length is required.
🔶 DETAILS
Forward-backward filtering is a method applied to LTI (linear time-invariant) filters to provide a filter response with zero-phase shift, this has the visible effect of shifting a regular causal filter response to the right, making it appear has have effectively 0 lag.
The name of this operation indicates that the filter is first calculated forward over a series of values (like regular moving averages), then calculated backward, using the previous output as input for the filter, effectively applying the filter twice.
While this operation effectively allows us to obtain a zero-lag response when applied to an EMA, it is subject to repainting, as this indicator only returns the normalized sum of changes of the forward-backward EMA, which does not introduce any repainting behaviors in the final output of the oscillator.
🔶 SETTINGS
Length: Change the calculation lookback length for the oscillator.
Smoothing: Alter the smoothness of the back-end EMA calculations.
Source: Change the source input used for the indicator.

Divergence IQ [TradingIQ]Hello Traders!
Introducing "Divergence IQ"
Divergence IQ lets traders identify divergences between price action and almost ANY TradingView technical indicator. This tool is designed to help you spot potential trend reversals and continuation patterns with a range of configurable features.
Features
Divergence Detection
Detects both regular and hidden divergences for bullish and bearish setups by comparing price movements with changes in the indicator.
Offers two detection methods: one based on classic pivot point analysis and another that provides immediate divergence signals.
Option to use closing prices for divergence detection, allowing you to choose the data that best fits your strategy.
Normalization Options:
Includes multiple normalization techniques such as robust scaling, rolling Z-score, rolling min-max, or no normalization at all.
Adjustable normalization window lets you customize the indicator to suit various market conditions.
Option to display the normalized indicator on the chart for clearer visual comparison.
Allows traders to take indicators that aren't oscillators, and convert them into an oscillator - allowing for better divergence detection.
Simulated Trade Management:
Integrates simulated trade entries and exits based on divergence signals to demonstrate potential trading outcomes.
Customizable exit strategies with options for ATR-based or percentage-based stop loss and profit target settings.
Automatically calculates key trade metrics such as profit percentage, win rate, profit factor, and total trade count.
Visual Enhancements and On-Chart Displays:
Color-coded signals differentiate between bullish, bearish, hidden bullish, and hidden bearish divergence setups.
On-chart labels, lines, and gradient flow visualizations clearly mark divergence signals, entry points, and exit levels.
Configurable settings let you choose whether to display divergence signals on the price chart or in a separate pane.
Performance Metrics Table:
A performance table dynamically displays important statistics like profit, win rate, profit factor, and number of trades.
This feature offers an at-a-glance assessment of how the divergence-based strategy is performing.
The image above shows Divergence IQ successfully identifying and trading a bullish divergence between an indicator and price action!
The image above shows Divergence IQ successfully identifying and trading a bearish divergence between an indicator and price action!
The image above shows Divergence IQ successfully identifying and trading a hidden bullish divergence between an indicator and price action!
The image above shows Divergence IQ successfully identifying and trading a hidden bearish divergence between an indicator and price action!
The performance table is designed to provide a clear summary of simulated trade results based on divergence setups. You can easily review key metrics to assess the strategy’s effectiveness over different time periods.
Customization and Adaptability
Divergence IQ offers a wide range of configurable settings to tailor the indicator to your personal trading approach. You can adjust the lookback and lookahead periods for pivot detection, select your preferred method for normalization, and modify trade exit parameters to manage risk according to your strategy. The tool’s clear visual elements and comprehensive performance metrics make it a useful addition to your technical analysis toolbox.
The image above shows Divergence IQ identifying divergences between price action and OBV with no normalization technique applied.
While traders can look for divergences between OBV and price, OBV doesn't naturally behave like an oscillator, with no definable upper and lower threshold, OBV can infinitely increase or decrease.
With Divergence IQ's ability to normalize any indicator, traders can normalize non-oscillator technical indicators such as OBV, CVD, MACD, or even a moving average.
In the image above, the "Robust Scaling" normalization technique is selected. Consequently, the output of OBV has changed and is now behaving similar to an oscillator-like technical indicator. This makes spotting divergences between the indicator and price easier and more appropriate.
The three normalization techniques included will change the indicator's final output to be more compatible with divergence detection.
This feature can be used with almost any technical indicator.
Stop Type
Traders can select between ATR based profit targets and stop losses, or percentage based profit targets and stop losses.
The image above shows options for the feature.
Divergence Detection Method
A natural pitfall of divergence trading is that it generally takes several bars to "confirm" a divergence. This makes trading the divergence complicated, because the entry at time of the divergence might look great; however, the divergence wasn't actually signaled until several bars later.
To circumvent this issue, Divergence IQ offers two divergence detection mechanisms.
Pivot Detection
Pivot detection mode is the same as almost every divergence indicator on TradingView. The Pivots High Low indicator is used to detect market/indicator highs and lows and, consequently, divergences.
This method generally finds the "best looking" divergences, but will always take additional time to confirm the divergence.
Immediate Detection
Immediate detection mode attempts to reduce lag between the divergence and its confirmation to as little as possible while avoiding repainting.
Immediate detection mode still uses the Pivots Detection model to find the first high/low of a divergence. However, the most recent high/low does not utilize the Pivot Detection model, and instead immediately looks for a divergence between price and an indicator.
Immediate Detection Mode will always signal a divergence one bar after it's occurred, and traders can set alerts in this mode to be alerted as soon as the divergence occurs.
TradingView Backtester Integration
Divergence IQ is fully compatible with the TradingView backtester!
Divergence IQ isn’t designed to be a “profitable strategy” for users to trade. Instead, the intention of including the backtester is to let users backtest divergence-based trading strategies between the asset on their chart and almost any technical indicator, and to see if divergences have any predictive utility in that market.
So while the backtester is available in Divergence IQ, it’s for users to personally figure out if they should consider a divergence an actionable insight, and not a solicitation that Divergence IQ is a profitable trading strategy. Divergence IQ should be thought of as a Divergence backtesting toolkit, not a full-feature trading strategy.
Strategy Properties Used For Backtest
Initial Capital: $1000 - a realistic amount of starting capital that will resonate with many traders
Amount Per Trade: 5% of equity - a realistic amount of capital to invest relative to portfolio size
Commission: 0.02% - a conservative amount of commission to pay for trade that is standard in crypto trading, and very high for other markets.
Slippage: 1 tick - appropriate for liquid markets, but must be increased in markets with low activity.
Once more, the backtester is meant for traders to personally figure out if divergences are actionable trading signals on the market they wish to trade with the indicator they wish to use.
And that's all!
If you have any cool features you think can benefit Divergence IQ - please feel free to share them!
Thank you so much TradingView community!
Quarterly Theory ICT 01 [TradingFinder] XAMD + Q1-Q4 Sessions🔵 Introduction
The Quarterly Theory ICT indicator is an advanced analytical system based on the concepts of ICT (Inner Circle Trader) and fractal time. It divides time into quarterly periods and accurately determines entry and exit points for trades by using the True Open as the starting point of each cycle. This system is applicable across various time frames including annual, monthly, weekly, daily, and even 90-minute sessions.
Time is divided into four quarters: in the first quarter (Q1), which is dedicated to the Accumulation phase, the market is in a consolidation state, laying the groundwork for a new trend; in the second quarter (Q2), allocated to the Manipulation phase (also known as Judas Swing), sudden price changes and false moves occur, marking the true starting point of a trend change; the third quarter (Q3) is dedicated to the Distribution phase, during which prices are broadly distributed and price volatility peaks; and the fourth quarter (Q4), corresponding to the Continuation/Reversal phase, either continues or reverses the previous trend.
By leveraging smart algorithms and technical analysis, this system identifies optimal price patterns and trading positions through the precise detection of stop-run and liquidity zones.
With the division of time into Q1 through Q4 and by incorporating key terms such as Quarterly Theory ICT, True Open, Accumulation, Manipulation (Judas Swing), Distribution, Continuation/Reversal, ICT, fractal time, smart algorithms, technical analysis, price patterns, trading positions, stop-run, and liquidity, this system enables traders to identify market trends and make informed trading decisions using real data and precise analysis.
♦ Important Note :
This indicator and the "Quarterly Theory ICT" concept have been developed based on material published in primary sources, notably the articles on Daye( traderdaye ) and Joshuuu . All copyright rights are reserved.
🔵 How to Use
The Quarterly Theory ICT strategy is built on dividing time into four distinct periods across various time frames such as annual, monthly, weekly, daily, and even 90-minute sessions. In this approach, time is segmented into four quarters, during which the phases of Accumulation, Manipulation (Judas Swing), Distribution, and Continuation/Reversal appear in a systematic and recurring manner.
The first segment (Q1) functions as the Accumulation phase, where the market consolidates and lays the foundation for future movement; the second segment (Q2) represents the Manipulation phase, during which prices experience sudden initial changes, and with the aid of the True Open concept, the real starting point of the market’s movement is determined; in the third segment (Q3), the Distribution phase takes place, where prices are widely dispersed and price volatility reaches its peak; and finally, the fourth segment (Q4) is recognized as the Continuation/Reversal phase, in which the previous trend either continues or reverses.
This strategy, by harnessing the concepts of fractal time and smart algorithms, enables precise analysis of price patterns across multiple time frames and, through the identification of key points such as stop-run and liquidity zones, assists traders in optimizing their trading positions. Utilizing real market data and dividing time into Q1 through Q4 allows for a comprehensive and multi-level technical analysis in which optimal entry and exit points are identified by comparing prices to the True Open.
Thus, by focusing on keywords like Quarterly Theory ICT, True Open, Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution, Continuation/Reversal, ICT, fractal time, smart algorithms, technical analysis, price patterns, trading positions, stop-run, and liquidity, the Quarterly Theory ICT strategy acts as a coherent framework for predicting market trends and developing trading strategies.
🔵b]Settings
Cycle Display Mode: Determines whether the cycle is displayed on the chart or on the indicator panel.
Show Cycle: Enables or disables the display of the ranges corresponding to each quarter within the micro cycles (e.g., Q1/1, Q1/2, Q1/3, Q1/4, etc.).
Show Cycle Label: Toggles the display of textual labels for identifying the micro cycle phases (for example, Q1/1 or Q2/2).
Table Display Mode: Enables or disables the ability to display cycle information in a tabular format.
Show Table: Determines whether the table—which summarizes the phases (Q1 to Q4)—is displayed.
Show More Info: Adds additional details to the table, such as the name of the phase (Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution, or Continuation/Reversal) or further specifics about each cycle.
🔵 Conclusion
Quarterly Theory ICT provides a fractal and recurring approach to analyzing price behavior by dividing time into four quarters (Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4) and defining the True Open at the beginning of the second phase.
The Accumulation, Manipulation (Judas Swing), Distribution, and Continuation/Reversal phases repeat in each cycle, allowing traders to identify price patterns with greater precision across annual, monthly, weekly, daily, and even micro-level time frames.
Focusing on the True Open as the primary reference point enables faster recognition of potential trend changes and facilitates optimal management of trading positions. In summary, this strategy, based on ICT principles and fractal time concepts, offers a powerful framework for predicting future market movements, identifying optimal entry and exit points, and managing risk in various trading conditions.

[TehThomas] - ICT Volume ImbalanceThis script is a Volume Imbalance (VI) detector and visualizer for use on the TradingView platform. The goal of the script is to automatically identify areas where there are significant imbalances in the volume of trades between consecutive candlesticks and visually highlight these areas. These imbalances can provide traders with valuable insights about the market’s current condition, often signaling potential reversal or continuation points based on price and volume action.
ICT (Inner Circle Trader) Concept of Volume Imbalances
Volume imbalances are a critical concept in the ICT trading methodology. They refer to situations where there is an unusual or significant difference in volume between two consecutive candlesticks, which might indicate institutional or large player activity. According to ICT principles, these imbalances can show us areas of market inefficiency or potential price manipulation. By identifying these imbalances, traders can gain an edge in understanding where the market is likely to move next.
Bullish and Bearish Volume Imbalances:
Bullish Volume Imbalance: This occurs when there is a strong increase in buying pressure, typically indicated by a higher volume on a candle that closes significantly above the previous one, often leaving a gap or larger price movement. The market could be preparing to push higher, and the volume shows a clear shift in buying demand.
Bearish Volume Imbalance:
Conversely, a bearish imbalance occurs when there is a strong increase in selling pressure, typically signaled by a candle that closes significantly lower than the previous one, again with higher volume. This could indicate that large players are offloading positions, and the price is likely to drop further.
Key Features and Functions of the Script
The script automates the process of detecting these volume imbalances and visually marking them on a price chart. Let’s explore its functionality in detail.
1. Inputs Section
The script allows for significant customization through its input options, which help traders adjust the detection and visualization of volume imbalances based on their individual preferences and trading style. Below are the details:
lookback (250 bars): This input specifies the number of bars (or candles) the script should look back when analyzing the volume imbalance. By setting this to 250, the user is looking at the last 250 bars on the chart to detect any significant volume imbalances. This period is adjustable between 50 to 500 bars.
volumeThreshold (1.0 multiplier): This input helps set the sensitivity for identifying volume imbalances. The script compares the volume of the current candle with the previous one, and if the current volume exceeds the previous volume by this threshold multiplier (in this case, 1.0 means at least equal to the previous volume), then it triggers an imbalance. Users can adjust the multiplier to suit different market conditions.
showBoxes (true/false): This toggle determines whether the boxes representing volume imbalances are drawn on the chart. When enabled, the script visually highlights the imbalances with colored boxes.
fillBaseColor (orange with 80% opacity): This is the color setting for the background of the imbalance boxes. A softer color (like orange with opacity) ensures the imbalance is highlighted without obscuring the price action.
borderColor (gray): The color of the border around the imbalance boxes. This adds a visual distinction to make the imbalance areas more visible.
borderWidth (1 pixel): This controls the width of the box's border to adjust how prominent it appears.
rightOffset (30 bars): This input controls how far the imbalance box extends to the right on the chart. It helps users anticipate the potential continuation of the imbalance beyond the current candle.
allowWickOverlap (true/false): This setting allows imbalances to be identified even if the wicks of the two consecutive candlesticks overlap. If set to false, only imbalances where the bodies of the candlesticks don’t overlap are considered.
showBrokenBoxes (true/false): If enabled, once a volume imbalance no longer holds true (i.e., the price breaks through the box), the box is marked as "broken." If disabled, the box is deleted when the imbalance condition no longer applies.
brokenBoxColor (red): This controls the color of the box when it is broken, which can be used as a visual cue that the imbalance was invalidated or no longer valid for analysis.
2. Volume Imbalance Function
This is the core function of the script, where the logic to detect bullish and bearish volume imbalances is implemented.
Bullish Imbalance Condition:
The first condition checks if the low of the current candle is greater than the high of the previous candle. This suggests that the market is moving upward with buying pressure.
The second condition checks whether the volume of the current candle is higher than the previous candle by the volumeThreshold multiplier. If both conditions are satisfied, a bullish imbalance is detected.
Bearish Imbalance Condition:
The first condition checks if the high of the current candle is lower than the low of the previous candle. This suggests downward price action with selling pressure.
The second condition checks whether the current volume exceeds the previous volume by the threshold
Allow Wick Overlap: If allowWickOverlap is set to true, the script will still detect imbalances if the wicks of the two candles overlap (common in volatile markets). If false, imbalances are only considered if the wicks do not overlap.
3. Box Creation and Management
When a volume imbalance is detected, the script creates a box on the chart:
The bullish imbalance box is drawn using the minimum of the open and close of the current bar as the top boundary and the maximum of the open and close of the previous bar as the bottom boundary.
Conversely, the bearish imbalance box is drawn in reverse, using the maximum of the current bar’s open and close as the top boundary and the minimum of the previous bar’s open and close as the bottom boundary.
Once the box is created, it is displayed on the chart with the specified background color, border color, and width.
4. Processing Existing Boxes
After detecting a new imbalance and drawing a box, the script checks whether the box should still remain on the chart:
If the price moves beyond the boundaries of the imbalance box, the box is marked as broken (if showBrokenBoxes is enabled), and its color is changed to red, signifying that the imbalance is no longer valid.
If the box remains intact (i.e., the price has not broken the defined boundaries), the script keeps the box extended to the right as the market continues to evolve.
5. Removing Outdated Boxes
Lastly, the script removes boxes that are older than the specified lookback period. For example, if a box was created 250 bars ago, it will be deleted after that period. This ensures the chart stays clean and only focuses on relevant imbalances.
Why This Script is Useful for Traders
This script is extremely valuable for traders, especially those following the ICT methodology, because it automates the process of detecting market inefficiencies or imbalances that might signal future price action. Here’s why it’s particularly useful:
Identifying Key Areas of Interest: Volume imbalances often point to areas where institutional or large-scale traders have entered the market. These areas could provide clues about the next significant move in the market.
Visualizing Market Structure: By automatically drawing boxes around volume imbalances, the script helps traders visually identify potential areas of support, resistance, or turning points, enabling them to make informed trading decisions.
Time Efficiency: Instead of manually analyzing each candlestick and volume spike, this script does the heavy lifting, saving traders valuable time and allowing them to focus on other aspects of their strategy.
Enhanced Trade Entries and Exits: By understanding where volume imbalances are occurring, traders can time their entries (buying during bullish imbalances and selling during bearish ones) and exits (as imbalances break) more effectively, thus improving their chances of success.
Conclusion
In summary, this script is a powerful tool for traders looking to implement volume imbalance strategies based on the ICT methodology. It automates the identification and visualization of significant imbalances in price and volume, offering traders a clear visual representation of potential market turning points. By customizing the settings, traders can tailor the script to their preferred timeframes and sensitivity, making it a flexible and effective tool for any trading strategy.

Flow Optimized Moving AverageOverview
The Flow Optimized Moving Average (Flow OMA) is an advanced adaptive moving average designed to dynamically adjust smoothing factors based on market efficiency and volatility. By integrating the Efficiency Ratio (ER) with an Adaptive Moving Average (AMA) and leveraging ATR-based bands, this indicator provides traders with a refined tool for identifying trend direction, strength, and potential reversal zones.
Key Features
Adaptive Moving Average (AMA)
Adjusts to price action based on the Efficiency Ratio (ER), reducing lag in trending markets while smoothing noise in ranging conditions.
Efficiency Ratio (ER)
Measures the effectiveness of price movement over a defined lookback period.
Helps in dynamically adjusting the smoothing constant of the AMA.
ATR-Based Volatility Bands
Creates upper and lower dynamic bands based on the Average True Range (ATR).
Expands in high volatility and contracts in low volatility, providing traders with a contextual understanding of price action.
Slope-Based Trend Strength
Normalizes the moving average slope relative to ATR.
Generates a trend strength score, which influences band opacity, making strong trends visually distinguishable.
Dynamic Color Coding
Bullish Trends: Cyan/Turquoise (#00e2ff)
Bearish Trends: Blue (#003ff5)
Neutral Trends: Gray
The transparency of the bands dynamically adjusts based on trend strength.
Fill Zone Effect
The area between the ATR bands is filled with a gradient-like effect, giving a clear visual representation of trend strength and transitions.
Indicator Components
Inputs (User Settings)
ER Lookback Period: Defines how many bars are used in the Efficiency Ratio calculation (default: 10).
Fast & Slow Periods: Control the sensitivity of the Adaptive Moving Average (default: 2 & 30).
ATR Period: Defines the lookback for Average True Range (default: 14).
Band Multiplier: Determines the width of ATR-based bands (default: 1.5).
Slope Average Period: Smooths trend slope for more stable trend assessment (default: 5).
Efficiency Ratio Calculation
Measures how effectively price moves in a straight line compared to its total movement.
A higher ER value suggests strong trend momentum, while a lower value implies consolidation.
Adaptive Moving Average (AMA)
Dynamically adjusts its smoothing factor based on ER.
Uses a smoothing constant that ranges between the fastest and slowest specified values.
Volatility-Based Bands
Constructed using the ATR multiplier.
Expand and contract dynamically in response to market volatility.
Trend Strength & Direction
Computed using the normalized slope of AMA against ATR.
Positive slope = Bullish trend, Negative slope = Bearish trend.
Visual Enhancements
Colored Adaptive MA Line: Changes based on trend direction.
ATR Bands with Gradient Fill: Visual representation of market conditions.
Dynamic Opacity: Highlights trend strength through transparency.
How to Use the Flow OMA Indicator
Trend Identification
When the Adaptive MA is rising and colored cyan, a bullish trend is in play.
When the Adaptive MA is falling and colored blue, a bearish trend is present.
Trend Strength Assessment
A stronger trend results in more opaque band fills, indicating a clear directional bias.
Weaker trends or consolidations result in fainter fills, signaling a loss of momentum.
Reversal Signals
If price touches the upper band in a bullish move and starts reversing, it can indicate potential profit-taking areas.
If price approaches the lower band in a bearish move and rebounds, a short-term reversal may be imminent.
Volatility Insights
Narrow bands indicate low volatility and possible breakout conditions.
Wider bands suggest increased volatility, warning traders of potential price swings.
Best Practices

Whether used standalone or in combination with other indicators, Flow OMA provides a significant edge in trend analysis.
MACD with Holt–Winters Smoothing [AIBitcoinTrend]👽 MACD with Holt–Winters Smoothing (AIBitcoinTrend)
The MACD with Holt–Winters Smoothing is an momentum indicator that enhances traditional MACD analysis by incorporating Holt–Winters exponential smoothing. This adaptation reduces lag while maintaining trend sensitivity, making it more effective for detecting trend reversals and sustained momentum shifts. Additionally, the indicator includes real-time divergence detection and an ATR-based trailing stop system, helping traders manage risk dynamically.
👽 What Makes the MACD with Holt–Winters Smoothing Unique?
Unlike the standard MACD, which relies on simple exponential moving averages, this version applies Holt–Winters smoothing to better capture trends while filtering out market noise. Combined with real-time divergence detection and a trailing stop system, this indicator allows traders to:
✅ Identify trend strength with a dynamically smoothed MACD signal.
✅ Detect bullish and bearish divergences in real time.
✅Implement Crossover/Crossunder signals tied to ATR-based trailing stops for risk management
👽 The Math Behind the Indicator
👾 Holt–Winters Smoothing for MACD
Traditional MACD calculations use exponential moving averages (EMA) to identify momentum. This indicator improves upon it by applying Holt’s linear trend equations, which enhance signal accuracy by reducing lag and smoothing out fluctuations.
Key Features:
Alpha (α) - Controls the weight of the new data in smoothing.
Beta (β) - Determines how fast the trend component adapts to new changes.
The Holt–Winters Signal Line provides a refined MACD crossover system for better trade execution.
👾 Real-Time Divergence Detection
The indicator identifies bullish and bearish divergences between MACD and price action.
Bullish Divergence: Occurs when price makes a lower low, but MACD makes a higher low – signaling potential upward momentum.
Bearish Divergence: Occurs when price makes a higher high, but MACD makes a lower high – signaling potential downward momentum.
👾 Dynamic ATR-Based Trailing Stop
The indicator includes a trailing stop system based on ATR (Average True Range). This allows traders to manage positions dynamically based on volatility.
Bullish Trailing Stop: Triggers when MACD crosses above the Holt–Winters signal, with a stop placed at low - (ATR × Multiplier).
Bearish Trailing Stop: Triggers when MACD crosses below the Holt–Winters signal, with a stop placed at high + (ATR × Multiplier).
Trailing Stop Adjustments: Expands or contracts dynamically with market conditions, reducing premature exits while securing profits.
👽 How Traders Can Use This Indicator
👾 Divergence Trading
Traders can use real-time divergence detection to anticipate trend reversals before they occur.
Bullish Divergence Setup:
Look for MACD making a higher low, while price makes a lower low.
Enter long when MACD confirms upward momentum.
Bearish Divergence Setup:
Look for MACD making a lower high, while price makes a higher high.
Enter short when MACD confirms downward momentum.
👾 Trailing Stop & Signal-Based Trading
Bullish Setup:
✅ MACD crosses above the Holt–Winters signal.
✅ A bullish trailing stop is placed using low - ATR × Multiplier.
✅ Exit if the price crosses below the stop.
Bearish Setup:
✅ MACD crosses below the Holt–Winters signal.
✅ A bearish trailing stop is placed using high + ATR × Multiplier.
✅ Exit if the price crosses above the stop.
This systematic trade management approach helps traders lock in profits while reducing drawdowns.

Liquidations Levels [RunRox]📈 Liquidation Levels is an indicator designed to visualize key price levels on the chart, highlighting potential reversal points where liquidity may trigger significant price movements.
Liquidity is essential in trading - price action consistently moves from one liquidity area to another. We’ve created this free indicator to help traders easily identify and visualize these liquidity zones on their charts.
📌 HOW IT WORKS
The indicator works by marking visible highs and lows, points widely recognized by traders. Because many traders commonly place their stop-loss orders beyond these visible extremes, significant liquidity accumulates behind these points. By analyzing trading volume and visible extremes, the indicator estimates areas where clusters of stop-loss orders (liquidity pools) are likely positioned, giving traders valuable insights into potential market moves.
As shown in the screenshot above, the price aggressively moved toward Sell-Side liquidity. After sweeping this liquidity level for the second time, it reversed and began targeting Buy-Side liquidity. This clearly demonstrates how price moves from one liquidity pool to another, continually seeking out liquidity to fuel its next directional move.
As shown in the screenshot, price levels with fewer anticipated trader stop-losses are indicated by less vibrant, faded colors. When the lines become more saturated and vivid, it signals that sufficient liquidity - in the form of clustered stop-losses has accumulated, potentially attracting price movement toward these areas.
⚙️ SETTINGS
🔹 Period – Increasing this setting makes the marked highs and lows more significant, filtering out minor price swings.
🔹 Low Volume – Select the color displayed for low-liquidity levels.
🔹 High Volume – Select the color displayed for high-liquidity levels.
🔹 Levels to Display – Choose between 1 and 15 nearest liquidity levels to be shown on the chart.
🔹 Volume Sensitivity – Adjust the sensitivity of the indicator to volume data on the chart.
🔹 Show Volume – Enable or disable the display of volume values next to each liquidity level.
🔹 Max Age – Limits displayed liquidity levels to those not older than the specified number of bars.
✅ HOW TO USE
One method of using this indicator is demonstrated in the screenshot above.
Price reached a high-liquidity level and showed an initial reaction. We then waited for a second confirmation - a liquidity sweep followed by a clear market structure break - to enter the trade.
Our target is set at the liquidity accumulated below, with the stop-loss placed behind the manipulation high responsible for the liquidity sweep.
By following this approach, you can effectively identify trading opportunities using this indicator.
