Linear Regression CVDHow to Read It: Rising CVD: Aggressive buyers are in control (Market Buys > Market Sells). Falling CVD: Aggressive sellers are in control (Market Sells > Market Buys). Key Trading Strategy (Divergence): The most powerful way to use CVD is to look for Divergences: Bearish Divergence (Absorption): Price makes a New High, but CVD makes a Lower High. Meaning: Price is rising, but aggressive buying power is drying up. Limit sellers are absorbing the buys. A reversal may be coming. Bullish Divergence (Absorption): Price makes a New Low, but CVD makes a Higher Low. Meaning: Price is dropping, but aggressive selling is weakening. Limit buyers are stepping in.

MTF Institutional Zones with Alerts (Impulse + Mitigation)This script plots multi-timeframe (MTF) Supply and Demand zones derived from impulse candles on higher timeframes. How zones are created A new zone is formed when an HTF candle has a body size greater than or equal to ATR(14) * Impulse Multiplier. If the impulse candle is bullish, the script uses the most recent bearish candle (on that HTF) as the Demand zone source. If the impulse candle is bearish, the script uses the most recent bullish candle (on that HTF) as the Supply zone source. Filtering and zone management Zones are kept only if the distance from the HTF impulse close to the zone source is within ATR(14) * Max Distance. A maximum number of zones per side is stored for each timeframe. Older zones are deleted automatically. Zones are extended to the right in real time. Mitigation rule (50%) A zone is removed when price mitigates 50% of its range: Demand is removed when low reaches the midpoint. Supply is removed when high reaches the midpoint. Alerts Formation alerts: triggered when a new HTF zone is created (TF1/TF2/TF3). Proximity alerts (NEAR/IN): triggered when the candle range is within a configurable distance from a zone or when price is inside/touching it. How to use Choose TF1/TF2/TF3 (e.g., 4H / 1H / 15m). Adjust Impulse Multiplier to detect only strong candles. Adjust Proximity distance (%) to control when proximity alerts trigger. Notes This indicator highlights potential reaction areas. It does not guarantee reversals and should be used with proper risk management.

Advanced Bull-Bear Power IndicatorAdvanced Bull–Bear Power Indicator The Advanced Bull–Bear Power Indicator is a momentum and market strength tool that quantifies the balance of power between buyers (bulls) and sellers (bears) over a selected lookback period. Rather than focusing only on price direction, it measures how much effort each side applies to move the price, combining both candle magnitude and candle frequency into a normalized strength metric. How It Works For every candle, the indicator calculates the absolute percentage change between the open and close. This represents the true price effort of that candle, independent of direction. Each candle is then classified: - Bullish candle: close > open - Bearish candle: close ≤ open Bullish candles contribute their strength only to bulls, while bearish candles contribute only to bears. Over the selected period, the indicator computes: - Average bullish candle strength - Average bearish candle strength - Percentage of bullish candles - Percentage of bearish candles Using the average strength values, a Power Ratio is calculated: Power Ratio = Bull Avg / (Bull Avg + Bear Avg) × 100 This produces a clean 0–100 scale: - Above 50 → Bullish dominance - Below 50 → Bearish dominance Visual Interpretation The main line represents the Bull–Bear Power Ratio. Color gradients reflect dominance, where green tones indicate bullish control and red tones indicate bearish control. Key reference levels: - 50 → Neutral balance - 60 → Strong bullish dominance - 40 → Strong bearish dominance Background highlights appear in extreme conditions: - Above 70 → Extreme bull pressure - Below 30 → Extreme bear pressure Statistics Table An optional statistics table displays: - Average bullish strength - Average bearish strength - Bullish and bearish candle ratios - Current power ratio - Market state classification (Strong Bull, Weak Bull, Weak Bear, Strong Bear) This allows quick assessment of whether dominance comes from consistent pressure or isolated strong moves. Alerts Alerts are triggered when: - Power crosses above 60 → Strong bullish momentum - Power crosses below 40 → Strong bearish momentum - Power crosses 50 → Market balance shift Practical Applications This indicator can be used for trend strength confirmation, detecting early dominance shifts before breakouts, filtering trades in sideways or low-quality markets, and comparing momentum quality across assets or timeframes. Key Insight This indicator does not simply ask “Is price going up or down?” It answers a more important question: Which side is truly exerting more force on the market right now? Disclaimer This indicator should not be used as a standalone decision-making tool. It is designed to complement other forms of technical, fundamental, or contextual analysis. Always confirm signals with additional indicators, market structure, and risk management techniques. The user is solely responsible for any trading decisions made using this indicator.

Inside Bar Breakout ( candlestick pattern).📌 What Is This Indicator? BOIB Pro identifies a very strict form of inside bar: ✅ The inside bar candle’s entire range (body + wicks) must be inside the BODY of the previous candle (mother candle). ❌ If even a single wick is outside the mother body, the setup is rejected. This filters out weak and noisy inside bars and focuses only on true compression candles. ⸻ 📐 Pattern Rules (Strict) 1️⃣ Mother Candle • The candle immediately before the inside bar 2️⃣ Body-Only Inside Bar (BOIB) A valid BOIB must satisfy: • Inside bar high ≤ mother candle body high • Inside bar low ≥ mother candle body low ⚠️ Normal inside bars (inside wicks only) are ignored. ⸻ ⏱️ Breakout Window Logic After a valid BOIB forms: • The indicator waits for the next 1 to 5 candles (user-configurable) • Entry is triggered only if price CLOSES outside the BOIB range ✅ Long Signal • Candle closes above BOIB high ✅ Short Signal • Candle closes below BOIB low If no breakout occurs within the window → setup expires automatically ⸻ 🎯 Entry, Stop Loss & Take Profit Logic Once a valid breakout/breakdown occurs, the indicator automatically draws a professional trade template: Entry • At the close of the breakout candle Stop Loss • Long → below BOIB low • Short → above BOIB high • Optional buffer: • ATR-based • Percentage-based • Or none Take Profits • TP1: Risk-Reward based (default 1R) • TP2: Extended target (default 2R) All levels are clearly visualized using: • Horizontal price lines • Risk and reward boxes • Informational labels ⸻ 📊 Best Use Cases • Crypto (BTC, ETH, major alts) • Timeframes: • Scalping: 5m • Day trading: 15m / 30m • Works best when combined with: • Market structure • Trend bias • Support / resistance ⸻ ⚠️ Important Notes • This is NOT an auto-trading system • Signals should always be used with: • Proper risk management • Market context • Inside bars in sideways or low-volume markets may fail ⸻ 📚 Educational Purpose Disclaimer This indicator is provided for educational and analytical purposes only. It does not constitute financial advice. Trading involves risk, and past behavior does not guarantee future results.

8 EMA. 21 EMA. VWAP This trio is popular for momentum, scalping, and trend-following on 1m–15m charts (stocks, futures, indices). 1. Trend & Bias Filter • Overall bullish when: Price > VWAP and 8 EMA > 21 EMA • Overall bearish when: Price < VWAP and 8 EMA < 21 EMA VWAP adds volume context — many ignore EMA signals against the VWAP side. 2. Crossover Signals (Primary Entries) • Bullish crossover: 8 EMA crosses above 21 EMA → potential long (especially if price is already above VWAP) • Bearish crossover: 8 EMA crosses below 21 EMA → potential short (especially if price is below VWAP) VWAP confirmation reduces whipsaws: only take longs above VWAP, shorts below it. 3. Pullback / Retest Entries (Higher Probability) • In an uptrend (price > VWAP, 8 > 21): Wait for dips to the 8 EMA (or sometimes 21 EMA) → buy the bounce. • In a downtrend: Wait for rallies to the 8 EMA → short the rejection. VWAP often acts as a magnet or pivot — price gravitating toward it can signal mean-reversion trades.

MAG7 and VIXMAG7 and VIX is a institutional-grade market breadth and sentiment dashboard designed specifically for Nasdaq (NQ) traders. Instead of relying on a single price chart, this indicator provides a "look under the hood" of the market by tracking the volatility of the entire index and the individual performance of the seven stocks that drive over 40% of the Nasdaq 100's movement. Core Components 1. The Fear Gauges (Volatility Monitoring) This section tracks the VIX (S&P 500 Volatility) and VXN (Nasdaq Volatility). The Logic: Volatility and price usually have an inverse relationship. Risk-On: When these numbers are Green (negative %), volatility is dropping, which usually provides a "tailwind" for stocks to rise. Risk-Off: When these numbers turn Red (positive %), fear is entering the market, often preceding a sharp sell-off or indicating that a rally is built on "shaky ground." 2. Tech Leaders (Market Breadth) This monitors the Mag7 (NVDA, AAPL, MSFT, AMZN, GOOG, META, TSLA). The dashboard calculates a Weighted Average of these leaders to show the true strength of the "engines" behind the NQ. Weights: NVDA, AAPL, and MSFT are given 1.5x weight because their market caps have the highest impact on the index. Individual Heatmap: Each stock has its own cell that changes color based on its performance relative to the daily open. Using the Dashboard for Divergence Trading The primary value of this indicator is spotting Divergence, which occurs when the NQ price is lying to you but the internal data shows the truth. Bearish Breadth Divergence: The NQ hits a new high, but the Tech Leaders Average is negative, and most individual cells (like NVDA or MSFT) are red. This indicates the move is "thin" and likely a bull trap. Bullish Breadth Divergence: The NQ is flushing to new lows, but the Tech Leaders are starting to turn green or the Fear Gauges are rapidly dropping. This often signals that a bottom is being put in. Dashboard Placement & Aesthetics Top Center Positioning: Placed by default at the top-center of your chart to keep your eyes on the price action while maintaining peripheral awareness of the macro data. Large UI: Designed for high-resolution screens so you can read the percentage shifts without squinting during fast-moving "Turbo" sessions. Real-Time Updates: The data is fetched dynamically using request.security, ensuring the "Heatmap" reflects current intraday strength rather than just yesterday's close.

Cryptocurrency Dual-System Color-Changing Moving AveragesCryptocurrency Dual-System Color-Changing Moving Averages: Advanced Multi-Timeframe Trend Analysis Innovative Core Concept Our indicator introduces a revolutionary approach to trend analysis by integrating dual moving average systems with intelligent visual feedback mechanisms. Unlike traditional moving average indicators that simply display lines or basic crossovers, our system provides dynamic, multi-dimensional trend intelligence through three key innovations: Dual Independent Moving Average Systems - Two complete 7-period moving average systems operate simultaneously, offering independent trend confirmation while maintaining visual harmony through unified color coding. Intelligent Color-Changing Algorithm - Each moving average dynamically changes color based on its individual trend strength, creating a visual heatmap of momentum across different timeframes. Holistic Market State Visualization - The entire candlestick chart changes color based on overall trend alignment, providing immediate visual confirmation of market regimes. Comprehensive Functionality and Implementation What It Does This indicator performs multi-timeframe trend analysis across 14 moving averages (7 for each system), calculating individual trend strength for each line and determining overall market alignment to provide clear visual signals for different market conditions. How It Works Primary Trend Strength Calculation: For each moving average, the indicator calculates a proprietary trend strength value by analyzing the net directional movement over a user-defined lookback period. This quantifies whether the moving average is consistently rising, falling, or consolidating. Color Coding Logic: Blue: Moving average shows strong upward momentum (trend strength exceeds positive threshold) Orange: Moving average shows strong downward momentum (trend strength falls below negative threshold) Gray: Moving average shows neutral/consolidating behavior Market Regime Detection: The system analyzes the alignment of three key moving averages (short-term, medium-term, and long-term) from the Main MA System to determine the overall market state: Bullish Alignment: Short-term MA > Medium-term MA > Long-term MA (candlesticks turn blue) Bearish Alignment: Short-term MA < Medium-term MA < Long-term MA (candlesticks turn orange) Consolidation: No clear alignment pattern (candlesticks turn white) Implementation Methodology Our approach combines several established technical analysis concepts with unique enhancements: Multiple Timeframe Analysis (MTFA) - We simultaneously analyze 7 different time periods (21, 55, 89, 144, 200, 450, 800) to capture trend dynamics across short, medium, and long time horizons. Trend Strength Quantification - Instead of relying on simple crossovers, we calculate a proprietary trend strength metric that measures both direction and momentum consistency. Visual Pattern Recognition Enhancement - By color-coding both the moving averages and the price bars, we leverage human visual processing capabilities to quickly identify market states and potential reversals. Dual Confirmation System - The two independent moving average systems (Main System and EMA System) provide layered confirmation, reducing false signals and increasing reliability. Practical Application and Usage Guidelines Setup and Configuration Main Moving Average System: Configure your preferred moving average type (SMA, EMA, WMA, or HMA) and select which of the 7 periods to display. Each period can be individually enabled or disabled based on your analysis needs. EMA System Configuration: The secondary EMA system provides additional trend confirmation. Adjust its transparency to visually distinguish it from the Main System while maintaining chart clarity. Trend Sensitivity Adjustment: The "Trend Strength Threshold" parameter allows fine-tuning of color change sensitivity. Lower values make the indicator more responsive to minor trends, while higher values require stronger momentum for color changes. Strategic Trading Applications 1. Trend Identification and Confirmation Strategy Bullish Confirmation: Look for predominantly blue moving averages across multiple timeframes accompanied by blue candlesticks Bearish Confirmation: Look for predominantly orange moving averages across multiple timeframes accompanied by orange candlesticks Trend Weakness Detection: Watch for moving averages changing from blue to gray/orange or from orange to gray/blue 2. Multi-Timeframe Alignment Trading High-Probability Entries: Enter positions when all three key timeframes (short, medium, long) align in the same direction Exit Signals: Consider reducing positions when timeframes begin to diverge or when candlestick color changes to white (consolidation) 3. Support and Resistance Identification Moving averages serve as dynamic support/resistance levels Color changes at these levels indicate whether support/resistance is strengthening or weakening 4. Market Regime Adaptation Trend-Following Mode: During blue/orange candlestick periods, employ trend-following strategies Range-Trading Mode: During white candlestick periods, employ range-bound or mean-reversion strategies Core Philosophical Framework and Calculation Logic Underlying Technical Analysis Principles Our indicator is built upon the principle that trends exist simultaneously across multiple timeframes, and the convergence or divergence of these timeframes provides valuable information about trend strength and potential reversals. Calculation Methodology Trend Strength Formula: For each moving average, we calculate: Sum of upward movements over the lookback period Sum of downward movements over the lookback period Net directional bias as a normalized value between -1 and +1 This approach provides a more nuanced understanding of trend momentum compared to simple directional analysis. Threshold-Based Classification: Values above the positive threshold indicate sustainable upward momentum Values below the negative threshold indicate sustainable downward momentum Values within the threshold range indicate consolidation or weak trends Why This Approach Is Effective Early Warning System: Color changes in individual moving averages often precede overall market regime changes, providing early reversal signals. Noise Reduction: By requiring alignment across multiple timeframes for candlestick coloring, we filter out false signals common in single-timeframe analysis. Visual Processing Efficiency: The color-coded system allows rapid interpretation of complex multi-timeframe information, reducing cognitive load during fast market conditions. Adaptability: Configurable parameters allow adjustment for different market conditions (high volatility vs. low volatility) and trading styles (scalping vs. position trading). This indicator is particularly valuable for cryptocurrency trading due to the market's characteristic high volatility and strong trend tendencies. By providing clear visual cues about trend strength and alignment across multiple timeframes, it helps traders remain aligned with the dominant market direction while avoiding periods of choppy, directionless price action. The system's dual-layer confirmation (moving average colors + candlestick colors) creates a robust framework for identifying high-probability trading opportunities while maintaining flexibility to adapt to changing market conditions.

Neeson Volatility Adaptive Tracker ProVolatility Adaptive Tracker Pro: A Comprehensive Multi-Method Trading System Executive Summary The Volatility Adaptive Tracker Pro (VAT Pro) represents a sophisticated fusion of proven technical analysis methodologies with innovative adaptations, creating a unique multi-signal trading system. Unlike single-purpose indicators, VAT Pro combines multiple analytical approaches into a unified framework that addresses the complex realities of modern financial markets. This system is designed for traders who recognize that no single method consistently outperforms, and that market conditions require adaptive, multi-faceted approaches. Original Innovations: What Sets VAT Pro Apart 1. Hybrid Volatility Measurement System Most volatility indicators fall into two categories: those based on standard deviation (like Bollinger Bands) or those based on average true range (ATR). VAT Pro introduces a third approach: a weighted volatility measurement system that gives greater importance to recent price movements while maintaining sensitivity to overall market conditions. This creates a dynamic volatility assessment that adapts more responsively to changing market environments than conventional methods. 2. Dual-Layer Signal Architecture While most indicators generate single-type signals, VAT Pro implements a tiered signaling system that distinguishes between: Primary trend-following signals (based on price crossing adaptive volatility bands) Secondary volume-confirmed signals (requiring both price movement and exceptional volume) This dual-layer approach recognizes that not all market moves have equal significance, and that volume confirmation often signals more substantial moves worthy of special attention. 3. State-Based Logic with Memory Conventional indicators typically generate signals independently on each bar. VAT Pro introduces persistent state tracking that maintains awareness of whether the market is currently in a bullish, bearish, or neutral condition. This prevents signal redundancy, reduces false signals, and provides valuable context for interpreting current market conditions. What VAT Pro Does: Comprehensive Market Analysis Primary Functions Trend Identification: Detects transitions between bullish and bearish market conditions using multiple confirmation criteria. Volume Analysis: Identifies exceptional trading activity that often precedes or confirms significant price movements. Volatility Assessment: Continuously measures market volatility and adjusts sensitivity parameters accordingly. Visual Context Provision: Uses color-coded price bars, trend lines, and clear signal markers to provide immediate visual feedback. Multi-Timeframe Compatibility: Functions effectively across various trading timeframes from intraday to positional trading. Implementation Methodology: The Technical Framework Core Analytical Approaches Among the hundreds of available technical analysis methods, VAT Pro specifically implements and integrates: A. Adaptive Volatility Channel System This approach modifies the traditional volatility channel concept by: Using weighted moving averages for volatility calculation rather than simple or exponential averages Implementing asymmetric response to upward versus downward volatility Maintaining dynamic channel width that adjusts based on recent market conditions The system falls within the broader category of volatility-adjusted trend following but introduces unique adaptations that improve responsiveness while maintaining stability. B. Volume-Price Confirmation Method Within volume analysis, VAT Pro specifically employs: Threshold-based volume spike detection (volume exceeding moving average by specified multiples) Price-direction confirmation (requiring price movement in the expected direction) Contextual filtering (only considering volume signals in specific market conditions) This represents a specific implementation within the volume confirmation family of methods, distinguished by its customizable thresholds and filtering logic. C. Trailing Stop with Adaptive Positioning The system implements a specific variant of trailing stop methodology characterized by: State-dependent positioning (different logic for trending versus ranging markets) Volatility-adjusted distance (stop levels adapt to current market conditions) Memory of previous positions (the system "remembers" previous trend states) This approach represents an advanced form of trailing stop placement that combines elements of volatility adjustment with trend state awareness. Calculation Philosophy: The Core Principles 1. Weighted Response Philosophy VAT Pro operates on the principle that recent market action should have greater influence than distant history, but not to the exclusion of broader context. This is implemented through custom weighting algorithms that balance responsiveness with stability. 2. Multi-Factor Confirmation Principle The system is built on the premise that multiple confirming factors (price action, volume, volatility) provide more reliable signals than single-factor approaches. This represents a practical implementation of convergence/divergence analysis across different market dimensions. 3. State Transition Logic Rather than viewing each bar in isolation, VAT Pro analyzes sequences of price action to determine market states and state transitions. This recognizes that markets often move through identifiable phases (accumulation, trending, distribution, ranging) that require different analytical approaches. 4. Adaptive Sensitivity The system automatically adjusts its sensitivity based on current market volatility, becoming more responsive in low-volatility conditions and more stable in high-volatility environments. This represents a practical implementation of volatility-adjusted trading logic. Practical Application: How to Use VAT Pro Initial Setup and Configuration Parameter Customization: Begin with default settings, then adjust based on: Your trading instrument's typical volatility characteristics Your preferred trading timeframe Your risk tolerance and trading style Visual Configuration: Customize colors and display settings to match your charting preferences while maintaining clear signal visibility. Trading Methodology Integration VAT Pro supports multiple trading approaches: For Trend Following: Use primary signals when confirmed by overall market direction Employ the adaptive line as a dynamic trailing stop Monitor state transitions for trend continuation or reversal clues For Breakout Trading: Watch for high-volume signals at key price levels Use volatility bands to identify potential breakout ranges Employ volume confirmation to distinguish genuine breakouts from false moves For Position Management: Utilize the color-coded bar system for immediate trend awareness Monitor multiple signal types for confirmation or warning signs Adjust position sizes based on signal strength and market state Signal Interpretation Framework Primary Signal Interpretation: Bullish signals suggest potential long opportunities Bearish signals indicate potential short opportunities Signal clustering often indicates stronger moves Volume Signal Significance: High-volume buy signals often precede sustained upward moves High-volume sell signals frequently indicate distribution or panic selling Volume signals without price confirmation require caution Contextual Analysis: Consider market state when interpreting signals Evaluate signal strength based on recent volatility Monitor multiple timeframes for confirmation Performance Characteristics and Best Practices Optimal Market Conditions VAT Pro performs best in markets exhibiting: Clear trending characteristics (for trend-following signals) Occasional volatility expansions (for volume signals) Reasonable liquidity (for accurate volume analysis) Risk Management Integration Use signal strength to adjust position sizing Employ the adaptive line for stop-loss placement Consider market state when determining risk levels Complementary Tools For best results, combine VAT Pro with: Support and resistance analysis Longer-term trend assessment Fundamental analysis (for longer timeframes) Market structure analysis Conclusion: A Modern Multi-Method Approach The Volatility Adaptive Tracker Pro represents a significant advancement in technical analysis tools by intelligently combining multiple proven methodologies into a coherent, adaptive system. Its original innovations in weighted volatility measurement, dual-layer signaling, and state-based logic address common limitations of conventional indicators while maintaining practical usability. By specifically implementing adaptive volatility channels, volume-price confirmation, and state-aware trailing stops, VAT Pro provides traders with a comprehensive toolkit that adapts to changing market conditions while maintaining methodological rigor. This multi-method approach recognizes the complex reality of financial markets while providing clear, actionable signals based on sound technical principles. Whether used as a primary trading system or as a confirming component within a broader strategy, VAT Pro offers sophisticated analytical capabilities in an accessible, visually intuitive format that supports informed trading decisions across various market conditions and timeframes.

Price Probability Engine - Volatility & Structure-Based TargetsThe aim of the indicator is: To provide adaptive, probability-weighted price target zones that help traders frame where price is most likely to interact next, without predicting when or guaranteeing direction. Price Probability Engine is a target-projection overlay that blends three independent “next-move” reference methods into a single pair of AVG targets: AVG Bull = a probabilistic upside objective AVG Bear = a probabilistic downside objective It is designed to help you frame the most reasonable near-term price zones using both volatility (ATR) and structure (pivot swings + measured moves) rather than relying on a single indicator. What you see on the chart When enabled, the script plots: AVG Bull line (upper target) AVG Bear line (lower target) Optional last-bar labels that print the current target values The overlay is scale-locked so the plots stay aligned with price when you scroll/zoom the chart. How it works (conceptual, step-by-step) 1) ATR “reach filter” (probability gating) All components are first checked against a reach filter: A target is considered “reachable” only if it is within Reach Filter × ATR from the current price. This prevents extremely distant projections from dominating the final average. 2) Three component target engines The script computes three upside candidates and three downside candidates: A) ATR Component (volatility projection) Uses ATR Length and ATR Multiplier Projects a simple near-term band around price: atrBull = close + ATR × mult atrBear = close - ATR × mult Direction mode: Candle: compares close to close Momentum(3): uses close − close B) AutoFib Component (swing extension) Detects swing highs/lows using pivot logic (Left/Right bars) Projects an extension using a selectable Fib level (1.272 / 1.414 / 1.618 / 2.0 / 2.618) Gives a structure-based target derived from the current swing range C) Lindsey Component (measured-move target) Detects a 3-point pivot sequence (P1/P2/P3) and projects a measured move to P4: Bull: from a low-high-higher-low sequence Bear: from a high-low-lower-high sequence Optional P1/P2/P3 markers can be displayed for learning/debugging 3) Dynamic weighting (closer targets matter more) If Dynamic Weights is enabled, each component’s weight increases as the target gets closer to price (within the reach window). This means the final AVG tends to favor targets that are both reachable and near-term relevant. You can control: Base Weight (Fib / Lindsey / ATR) Dynamic Power (how aggressively “closer” becomes “heavier”) 4) Outlier trimming (stability) If Trim Outlier Component is enabled, the script: computes a simple median reference of the remaining component targets drops any target that deviates from the median by more than Outlier Threshold × ATR This reduces sudden jumps when one method produces an unusually extreme projection. 5) Final output: a weighted average (bull + bear) The remaining eligible components are combined into: AVG Bull (weighted average of bull candidates) AVG Bear (weighted average of bear candidates) If no components pass the reach filter (or are trimmed), the AVG line can temporarily become unavailable until valid inputs re-appear. How to use it (practical workflow) Pick your timeframe, then tune ATR: Start with ATR Length 14 and ATR Mult 1.0–1.5 Set a reasonable Reach Filter (x ATR): Smaller = only near targets Larger = includes more distant projections Decide how you want it to behave: Dynamic Weights ON for “closer targets dominate” Outlier Trim ON for smoother / less erratic averages Use the AVG lines as planning zones, not certainties: They are best treated as “where price is most likely to seek next” based on the blend of volatility + structure. A common use is to monitor how price reacts as it approaches either AVG line (stalling, rejection, acceleration), and then reassess as new pivots/ATR values update. Settings guide (quick) ATR Length / Multiplier: controls the volatility envelope Direction Mode: changes the bias input for ATR projection Lindsey Left/Right: smaller = more sensitive pivots; larger = fewer, more meaningful pivots Fib Left/Right + Extension: controls the swing structure target Reach Filter: controls what qualifies as a realistic near-term target Dynamic Power: higher = stronger preference for the nearest target Outlier Threshold: higher = fewer removals; lower = more aggressive trimming Notes / Transparency This script does not place trades or guarantee outcomes. It is a visual target framework that adapts as volatility and market structure change. For best clarity, publish charts with this script on a clean layout so the AVG lines and labels are easy to identify.

Magnitude of Price DiscoveryThis script is a simple attempt to show the magnitude of price discovery Before we discuss how it works we need to discuss our terms. Universal Truth of Price #1 - Price only trades in 3 distinct ways Scenario 1 - Inside bar to previous range, consolidation. Scenario 2 - Trending bar up or down, HH + HL to previous bar or LL + LH to previous bar Scenario 3 - Outside bar, Higher highs AND lower lows to previous bar. Also known as a broadening formation. If you are interested in the 2nd universal truth my indicator 'Timeframe Continuity Bars' discusses it there. Given one of the 3 scenarios price can trade in is a broadening formation it proves that price discovery occurs as a series of new highs and new lows. Notice the scenario 3 marked by SimpleStratNumbers This scenario 3 is a broadening formation on the 1min and on the 30min basis. Given this is true we know if price rejects the broadening highs it is attempting to make new lows to the broadening range So, what this indicator does is it uses previous swing highs and swing lows and it shows you when price reclaims them and gives you a target. The target of this indicator is guaranteed to be hit if the 2nd universal truth of price is in your favor. This means if we reclaim a previous high to the downside. At the time of all known participation groups selling we know the magnitude of this selling would be the other side of the range So it's simple, the solid line shows you the reclaimed level. The dotted line shows you the magnitude. Full timeframe continuity tells you when it is FOR SURE going to your target price via MTF analysis of the aggressiveness of the buyers/sellers. However timeframe continuity is subject to change every 60min, every day, every week, and every month! That's the risk you take when trading. Here's one example for you. NASDAQ:AAPL monthly made a new low and changed to green this was your evidence price is attempting to take the other side of the range. NASDAQ:AAPL monthly opened green again and re-confirmed the upside which meant the other side of the range was still for certain going to be taken out. After being taken out, breakout traders buy the highs and any shorts in aapl are forced to cover. BOOM! This indicator is likely to be updated in the near future to align entries on multiple timeframes. Nothing spoken here is financial advice and it is ONLY what we know to be true about price action.

Pro Structure: Precision MSS/BOS & Extended FVG1. Precision Structure Mapping (BOS & MSS) Unlike standard ZigZag indicators that just connect pivots, this script visualizes the exact "Break" point: MSS (Market Structure Shift): Displayed as a Thick Solid Line. This signals a potential trend reversal (e.g., breaking a Lower High in a downtrend). BOS (Break of Structure): Displayed as a Thin Dashed Line. This signals trend continuation in the current direction. Visual Logic: The lines originate exactly from the Swing Pivot and terminate exactly at the candle that closes beyond that pivot, providing instant visual confirmation of the break. 2. Trend-Filtered Fair Value Gaps (FVG) To reduce "Analysis Paralysis," this indicator uses an active trend filter: Bullish Trend: Only Bullish FVGs (Green) are highlighted. Bearish FVGs are hidden to prevent counter-trend confusion. Bearish Trend: Only Bearish FVGs (Red) are highlighted. Extended Zones: FVG boxes are automatically projected forward (default: 5 candles) to help identify immediate entry zones before price returns to them. 3. Clean Aesthetics The chart remains minimal. Labels are non-intrusive, and color coding is strictly defined (Green for Bullish structure/FVGs, Red for Bearish structure/FVGs), allowing for rapid decision-making. Settings Swing Detection Length: Customize the sensitivity of the structure (lower for scalping, higher for macro trends). FVG Extension: Control how far into the future the FVG boxes are drawn. Visuals: Fully customizable colors and label options. This tool is intended to assist in identifying high-probability structural points and aligned entry zones.

Configure notification method (app, email, webhook) #### Method 2: Custom Alert Message Alert messages include full breakdown: ``` A+ Setup Detected (Score: 85) Components: VWAP(25) + Structure(25) + CVD(20) + Time(15) CVD State: Confirmation Direction: Long Timeframe: 1m ``` ### Alert Behavior ✅ **One alert per unique pivot break** - no spam ✅ **Fires on candle close only** - no repainting ✅ **Minimum score filter** - only A grade or higher (≥60) ✅ **Direction-specific** - separate bullish/bearish conditions ⚠️ **No cooldown between different pivots** - multiple alerts per session allowed if different swing levels break --- ## 🔧 Technical Details ### Timeframe Lock - **Required**: 1-minute chart only - **Reason**: Scoring model calibrated for 1m micro-structure - **Future**: Multi-timeframe support planned for v2 ### Timezone Configuration - **Hard-coded**: `America/New_York` - **Session Detection**: Uses TradingView's native session functions - **Consistency**: All time-based logic uses NY timezone ### Swing Detection Parameters **Locked to specification:** - `ta.pivothigh(source, left=2, right=2)` - `ta.pivotlow(source, left=2, right=2)` **Implications:** - Pivots confirmed 2 bars after formation - No repainting - historical pivots don't move - 4-bar minimum swing structure (2 left + pivot + 2 right) ### VWAP Calculation - **Type**: Session-anchored (resets daily) - **Source**: Typical price `(high + low + close) / 3` - **Weighting**: Volume-weighted - **Standard Deviation**: True population standard deviation ### CVD Proxy Formula ```pine barDelta = close > open ? volume : close < open ? -volume : 0 CVD = cumulative sum of barDelta (session-reset) ``` ### Performance Limits - **Max Labels**: 500 (TradingView limit) - **Max Bars Back**: 500 - **Memory**: Lightweight - uses only essential variables --- ## 💡 Best Practices ### 1. **Use as a Filter, Not a Strategy** ❌ Don't: Blindly take every signal ✅ Do: Use score as confluence for your existing analysis ### 2. **Higher Grades = Better Probability** - **A Setups (60-74)**: Regular opportunities, still require discretion - **A+ Setups (75-89)**: High-quality, multiple factors aligned - **A++ Setups (90-100)**: Rare premium opportunities, strongest edge ### 3. **Respect the VWAP Zone Filter** The indicator **automatically blocks**: - Longs in upper VWAP bands (counter-trend) - Shorts in lower VWAP bands (counter-trend) Trust this logic - it enforces mean reversion discipline. ### 4. **Monitor the Score Panel** Watch which components are scoring to understand **why** a setup formed: - Missing CVD score? → No order flow confirmation - Missing Time score? → Outside high-volume sessions - Low VWAP score? → Weak deviation from fair value ### 5. **Combine with Risk Management** The indicator provides **opportunity scoring**, not position sizing: - Use stop losses based on swing structure - Scale position size with setup grade (larger on A++, smaller on A) - Set profit targets at VWAP or opposing band ### 6. **Session Awareness** Prioritize signals during **active sessions**: - **03:00-04:00 NY**: Pre-market momentum - **09:30-11:30 NY**: Highest volume, tightest spreads Off-hours signals (0 time score) are lower probability but still valid if other factors strong. ### 7. **Understand the Hard Gate** If **no structure shift** occurs: - Total score = 0 - No alerts fire - Other components irrelevant **Why?** Structure shift confirms momentum change - without it, there's no tradable opportunity. ### 8. **Avoid Over-Optimization** Default settings are well-calibrated: - Don't chase "perfect" parameters - Test changes on historical data before live use - Document any modifications ### 9. **Leverage Alert De-Duplication** The indicator prevents spam automatically: - One alert per unique swing break - New swing levels = new alerts - No need to manually filter notifications ### 10. **Supplement with Price Action** Use the indicator alongside: - Support/resistance levels - Order flow footprint charts - Volume profile - Market internals (breadth, TICK, etc.) --- ## 📚 Example Scenarios ### Example 1: A++ Premium Setup (Score: 95) ``` Price: In lower 3rd VWAP band (-2.8σ) → VWAP: 25 pts Structure: Close breaks swing high → Structure: 25 pts CVD: Price LL + CVD HL (bullish div) → CVD: 25 pts Time: 10:15 AM NY (market open) → Time: 25 pts Direction: LONG (price below VWAP) → Valid Grade: A++ (95/100) ``` **Interpretation:** All factors aligned - premium mean-reversion long opportunity. --- ### Example 2: A+ Strong Setup (Score: 80) ``` Price: In upper 2nd VWAP band (+1.5σ) → VWAP: 15 pts Structure: Close breaks swing low → Structure: 25 pts CVD: Price HH + CVD LH (bearish div) → CVD: 25 pts Time: 2:00 PM NY (off-hours) → Time: 0 pts Direction: SHORT (price above VWAP) → Valid Grade: A+ (65/100) ``` **Interpretation:** Strong setup despite off-hours, bearish divergence adds confidence. --- ### Example 3: Filtered Setup (Score: 0) ``` Price: In upper 3rd VWAP band (+2.5σ) → VWAP: 25 pts (if allowed) Structure: Close breaks swing high → Structure: BLOCKED CVD: Price HH + CVD HH (confirmation) → CVD: 20 pts (if allowed) Time: 10:00 AM NY → Time: 25 pts (if allowed) Direction: LONG (price ABOVE VWAP) → ❌ INVALID ZONE Grade: None (0/100) - NO ALERT ``` **Interpretation:** VWAP filter blocked long signal in upper band - prevents counter-trend trade. --- ## 🛠️ Troubleshooting ### No Signals Appearing - ✅ Verify you're on **1-minute chart** - ✅ Check **Tick Size** matches your symbol - ✅ Ensure **VWAP Bands** are visible - ✅ Wait for confirmed pivots (requires at least 5 bars of history) ### Alerts Not Firing - ✅ Confirm alert is set to **"Once Per Bar Close"** - ✅ Check score threshold (must be ≥60 by default) - ✅ Verify VWAP zone filter isn't blocking signals - ✅ Check that structure shift is actually occurring ### Score Always Zero - ✅ No structure shift detected (hard gate active) - ✅ Price may not be in valid VWAP zone (2nd or 3rd band) - ✅ Insufficient swing history (wait for pivots to form) ### Too Many/Too Few Signals **Too many signals:** - Increase **A Setup Threshold** (e.g., 70 instead of 60) - Increase **Tick Buffer Count** (reduces false breaks) **Too few signals:** - Decrease **A Setup Threshold** (e.g., 50 instead of 60) - Decrease **Tick Buffer Count** (more sensitive to breaks) --- ## 📜 License This indicator is provided under the **Mozilla Public License 2.0**. --- ## 🤝 Credits Developed as a professional trading tool for systematic opportunity identification. **Philosophy:** Reduce noise.
