Value Area PRO (TPO/Volume Session VAH/VAL/POC) 📌 AP Capital Value Area PRO (TPO / Volume)
AP Capital Value Area PRO is a session-based value area indicator designed for Gold (XAUUSD), NASDAQ (NAS100), and other CFD instruments.
It focuses on where the market has accepted price during the current session and highlights high-probability interaction zones used by professional traders.
Unlike rolling lookback volume profiles, this indicator builds a true session value area and provides actionable signals around VAH, VAL, and POC.
🔹 Core Features
Session-Anchored Value Area
Value Area is built only during the selected session
Resets cleanly at session start
Levels develop during the session and can be extended forward
No repainting or shifting due to lookback changes
TPO or Volume Mode
TPO (Time-at-Price) mode – ideal for CFDs and tick-volume data
Volume mode – uses broker volume if preferred
Same logic, different weighting method
Fixed Price Bin Size
Uses a fixed bin size (e.g. 0.10 for Gold, 0.25–0.50 for NAS100)
Produces cleaner, more realistic VAH/VAL levels
Avoids distorted profiles caused by dynamic bin scaling
VAH / VAL / POC Levels
VAH (Value Area High)
VAL (Value Area Low)
POC (Point of Control) (optional)
Lines can be extended to act as forward reference levels
🔹 Trading Signals & Alerts
Value Re-Entry
Identifies false breakouts where price:
Trades outside value
Then closes back inside
Often seen before strong mean-reversion or continuation moves.
Acceptance
Detects initiative activity using:
Multiple consecutive closes outside value
Filters out weak single-candle breaks
Rejection
Flags strong rejection candles:
Large candle body
Wick outside value
Close back inside the value area
These conditions are especially effective on Gold intraday.
🔹 Optional Profile Histogram
Right-side volume/TPO histogram
Buy/sell imbalance visualization
Fully optional to reduce chart clutter and improve performance
🔹 Best Use Cases
Recommended markets
XAUUSD (Gold)
NAS100 / US100
Other index or metal CFDs
Recommended timeframes
5m, 15m, 30m
Suggested settings
Mode: TPO
Value Area: 70%
Bin size:
Gold: 0.10
NAS100: 0.25 or 0.50
🔹 How Traders Use It
Trade rejections at VAH / VAL
Look for acceptance to confirm trend days
Use re-entries to fade failed breakouts
Combine with trend filters, EMA structure, or session context

Ichimoku Multi-BG System by Pranojit Dey (Exact Alignment)It shows trend of different levels with the help of Ichimoku, VWAP, SMA and Pivot. Use it as a strong confluence for any entry. Lets trade guys...
Cloud Matrix [CongTrader]Cloud Matrix – Ichimoku Confluence System
Cloud Matrix is a rule-based Ichimoku confluence framework, designed to filter noise and low-probability setups by requiring multi-condition confirmation instead of single signals.
Unlike traditional Ichimoku usage (visual interpretation), this script converts Ichimoku states into a matrix scoring model.
Each setup is validated using 5 structural dimensions:
• Tenkan–Kijun relationship
• Price position vs Kumo
• Kumo polarity (Span A vs Span B)
• Chikou Span confirmation
• Price vs Kijun acceptance
Only when ≥ 3 conditions align, signals are allowed.
🔹 Signal Logic
Cloud Matrix generates two validated signal types:
• TK Cross Signals – Tenkan/Kijun crosses filtered by matrix confirmation
• Kumo Break Signals – Breakouts confirmed by cloud structure and momentum context
All signals can be configured to trigger on candle close to reduce noise and repainting.
🔹 Trend Alignment (Optional)
An optional Higher Timeframe EMA200 filter is included:
• Long signals only in HTF uptrend
• Short signals only in HTF downtrend
This improves consistency by preventing counter-trend trades.
🔹 Presets
Built-in presets allow fast adaptation:
• Traditional Ichimoku
• Crypto Fast
• Crypto Medium
• Custom mode
🔹 Usage
Use Cloud Matrix as a decision filter, not a buy/sell machine:
identify trend → wait for TK cross or Kumo break → confirm matrix alignment → execute with price action and structure-based risk management...

BTC Spot Premium Index (Coinbase - Binance )Overview
This indicator measures the price difference between Bitcoin (BTC) on Coinbase and Binance, providing insights into the buying pressure from US-based investors versus the global market. A positive premium suggests stronger buying activity on Coinbase, which is often interpreted as a bullish signal for BTC.
Key Features
•
Premium Calculation: The core of the indicator is the formula: Coinbase BTC Price - Binance BTC Price.
•
Visual Representation: The premium is plotted as an oscillator with a zero line. Positive values are colored green, and negative values are red, making it easy to identify the prevailing market sentiment.
•
Moving Average: A customizable moving average (default is a 20-period SMA) is included to help identify the trend of the premium. The MA line is displayed in white.
•
Adjustable Parameters: You can adjust the moving average length and type (SMA, EMA, WMA, RMA) to fit your trading style.
How to Use
1.
Identify US Market Sentiment: A sustained positive (green) premium suggests strong buying interest from the US market, which can be a precursor to price appreciation.
2.
Spot Trend Reversals: A crossover of the premium line above the zero line can signal a shift from bearish to bullish sentiment. Conversely, a cross below the zero line may indicate weakening US demand.
3.
Confirm with Moving Average: When the premium line crosses above its moving average, it can signal strengthening momentum. A cross below the MA may suggest a potential slowdown.
Interpretation
•
Green Area (Positive Premium): Indicates that BTC is trading at a higher price on Coinbase than on Binance. This is generally considered a bullish sign, as it reflects strong demand from US investors.
•
Red Area (Negative Premium): Indicates that BTC is trading at a lower price on Coinbase. This may suggest weaker demand in the US market or stronger selling pressure.
•
White Line (Moving Average): Helps to smooth out the premium data and identify the underlying trend. Use it as a dynamic support or resistance level for the premium itself.
This indicator is a powerful tool for gauging market sentiment and can be a valuable addition to any BTC trader's toolkit. However, it should be used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and not as a standalone signal for making trading decisions.
FDAX MarrellFDAX ONR + Range/Trend Confirm + 15m FVG (CET) — Indicator Description
This indicator is designed for FDAX traders who trade 15m Fair Value Gaps (FVG) using 1m confirmation (CISD/SMC execution) and want to avoid getting chopped in range days.
What it does
Overnight Range (ONR) module (00:00–08:55 CET)
Draws the Overnight box.
Calculates and displays key ON metrics:
ONR – overnight range size
Score – overnight directional efficiency (how “one-way” the move was)
Loc – where price closed inside the overnight range (close location)
Flags a Pre-Range bias when overnight behavior suggests a higher probability of a choppy/session-range environment.
Range vs Trend confirmation (European open logic)
Builds the Opening Range (OR30) box (09:00–09:30 CET).
Tracks TR60 (09:00–10:00 CET) for early volatility expansion.
Confirms the session state:
WAIT – no confirmation yet
CONFIRMED RANGE – conditions point to a balanced/choppy day
CONFIRMED TREND – volatility expansion and acceptance outside OR indicates a trending day
15m FVG overlays
Plots 15m FVG zones (bullish/bearish) as clean extending boxes.
Optional filters:
Show FVGs only when CONFIRMED TREND (to avoid taking FVGs in chop).
Hide FVGs inside the EQ zone (mid-range) to reduce low-quality setups.
Why it’s useful
Range days are where most stop streaks happen when trading FVG + 1m confirmation. This indicator helps you:
Identify when the market is likely to be balanced/choppy
Wait for trend confirmation before taking aggressive FVG plays
Focus only on high-probability FVG locations aligned with session conditions
Best use
Use the indicator on FDAX (EUREX) with 15m / 5m context and execute on 1m.
Prioritize FVGs during CONFIRMED TREND and be selective (or reduce size) during WAIT / CONFIRMED RANGE.
If you want, I can also write a shorter “TradingView public script style” description (2–3 lines + bullet features), or a more marketing/premium description for your community.
Thick Wick OverlayI have a hard time seeing the wick and made a simple overlay indicator to create a "thicker wick". You can change the thickness and wick color to your desired color and thickness.
Smart Money Sector RotationSTOP MISTAKING INFLATION FOR PERFORMANCE.
Your PnL might look green in nominal terms, but are you actually generating wealth, or just floating on a rising tide of liquidity?
The "Smart Money Sector Rotation" indicator is an institutional-grade dashboard designed to answer that single, critical question. It strips away the noise of nominal price action and benchmarks major assets against the "Honest Hurdle"—a dynamic baseline derived from M2 Money Supply, Inflation Breakevens, and Treasury Yields.
If an asset isn't beating the Hurdle, you aren't generating real wealth—you're just keeping pace with debasement.
THE HONEST FRAMEWORK Most screeners rank assets by simple percentage gain. This tool is different. It calculates a "Required Rate of Return" (Min Return) based on live Federal Reserve data (FRED).
1. Quantify the Debasement. We automatically fetch M2 Money Supply Growth and Inflation expectations to set the "floor."
2. Calculate Real Alpha. We measure how far an asset is trading above or below that floor.
3. Classify the Trend. Using RRG-style logic (Relative Rotation Graph), we categorize assets into four actionable phases based on their Real Yield and Momentum.
THE 4 MARKET PHASES Instead of vague signals, get a clear read on the asset's lifecycle:
ZONE 1: ELITE / LEADING (Cyan/Green) -- The State: Expansion. -- The Logic: The asset is generating positive Real Yields (beating the money printer) and has strong momentum relative to its peers.
ZONE 2: IMPROVING (Gold) -- The State: Recovery. -- The Logic: The asset may be below the Hurdle, but momentum is shifting positively. It is "waking up."
ZONE 3: LAGGING / WEAKENING (Orange/Red) -- The State: Contraction. -- The Logic: The asset is failing to keep up with debasement or is actively losing relative strength.
KEY FEATURES -- Auto-Macro Data: Connects directly to FRED for M2 (WM2NS), 10Y Inflation (T10YIE), and Yields (DGS10). No manual entry required. -- Trend Visualization: Tickers are marked with Green/Red indicators based on their 200-day Moving Average status. -- Prestige Color System: A dark-mode optimized, high-contrast palette designed for professional clarity. -- Multi-Asset Universe: Tracks Equities (XLK, XLE, etc.), Commodities (Gold, Silver, Oil), and Rates (TLT, HYG) in a single view.
HOW TO USE
1. Check the Header: Look at the "Min Ret" (Minimum Return). This is your beat-to-profit line.
2. Scan the Status: Focus on assets in the Elite or Leading zones for trend continuation. Watch Improving assets for potential reversals.
3. Respect the Trend: Use the SMA200 indicator as a final filter. A "Leading" status with a Red trend mark may indicate a trend that is rolling over.

Mismatch Strategy | Madrimov tradeTitle
Mismatch Strategy by Madrimov trade – Gold vs DXY Impulse and Compression
Description
Concept
This indicator is based on a cross-market mismatch principle between Gold (XAUUSD) and the US Dollar Index (DXY).
It looks for situations where DXY expands aggressively while Gold temporarily fails to respond, creating a build-up of directional pressure that is often released once Gold breaks its short-term range.
Methodology (High-Level Overview)
The script evaluates three conditions on the same chart timeframe:
DXY Impulse Detection
A directional impulse on DXY is detected when the candle’s range exceeds a multiple of its ATR, indicating unusually strong participation rather than normal fluctuation.
Gold Compression Filter
At the same time, Gold must remain compressed, defined as a candle range significantly smaller than its own ATR.
This represents under-reaction or absorption despite external pressure.
Delayed Breakout Confirmation
Trades are triggered only after the mismatch occurs and Gold subsequently breaks its recent high or low over a configurable lookback period.
This delay avoids chasing impulses and focuses on release after compression.
Why This Is Different
Unlike traditional trend or correlation indicators, this script does not trade direction directly.
Instead, it evaluates effort versus response across two related markets, filtering out low-quality momentum and false breakouts.
The strategy focuses on:
Cross-asset pressure imbalance
Volatility-normalized conditions
Sequential confirmation rather than instant signals
How to Use
Designed primarily for XAUUSD charts
Works best on intraday timeframes (5m–15m)
Signals are strongest when aligned with higher-timeframe bias
Buy and sell signals are plotted directly on candles
Optional RR visualization can be enabled for reference
Limitations
Not predictive; signals are generated after candle close
Performance degrades during extremely low-liquidity or news-driven spikes
Intended as a decision-support tool, not a standalone trading system
Stock Fundamental Performance:EPS and Revenue growth [Dots3Red]This indicator provides a clear and intuitive overview of a company’s revenue and EPS growth, helping you quickly evaluate its financial performance over time.
All data is displayed in a clean, easy-to-read table below the main chart, so you can analyze fundamentals without cluttering price action.
The indicator supports both annual and quarterly data, making it suitable for long-term investors and short-term traders alike.
In addition to raw values, it also shows the percentage change relative to the previous period, allowing you to instantly identify acceleration or deceleration in growth.
To improve visual clarity:
Green values indicate an increase compared to the previous period
Red values indicate a decrease compared to the previous period
This color-coded system makes trend changes immediately visible at a glance.
How to use
By default, the table displays annual data for the last 5 years, offering a long-term perspective on company growth.
You can switch to quarterly data in the settings for a more granular analysis.
Limitations
Due to Pine Engine data request constraints, quarterly data is limited to a maximum lookback of 5 years.
Selecting a longer quarterly period may cause the data to appear out of chronological order. We are actively working on improvements to address this in future updates.
A Humbled Trader Strategy + ChecklistHumbled Trader Swing Strategy + Checklist
This indicator is a complete swing trading system based on the high-probability strategies popularized by Humbled Trader. It is designed to help traders identify trend breakouts and low-risk momentum pullbacks on the Daily Timeframe.
The script combines trend filtering, automated resistance lines, and specific entry triggers into a single chart overlay, complete with a real-time Strategy Checklist Dashboard to confirm your setups instantly.
🎯 Core Components
Trend Filter (Purple Line): The 200 Simple Moving Average (SMA). This acts as your long-term trend filter. We only look for long trades when the price is above this line.
Momentum Guide (Orange Line): The 8 Exponential Moving Average (EMA). This tracks short-term momentum. In a strong trend, price will "ride" this line. We look to enter when price pulls back to touch this area.
Multi-Month Resistance (Orange Horizontal Line): Automatically plots the highest price over the last X Months (adjustable). This helps you instantly visualize the key level the stock needs to break out from.
Checklist Dashboard: A real-time table that evaluates Trend, Resistance, and Momentum conditions to give you a clear "✅ ENTER", "🚀 GAP UP", or "⏳ WAIT" signal.
🛠 How It Works
This indicator scans for two specific setups:
1. The Daily Gap Up ("GAP" Label) This signal appears when a stock shows strong momentum by gapping up overnight.
Condition: The stock opens at least 3% higher (adjustable) than the previous day's Close AND opens above the previous day's High.
Trend: Must be above the 200 SMA.
Visual: Marked with a green "GAP" label on the chart.
2. The Trend Pullback ("ENTER" Signal) This is a trend-following entry that lets you join an existing move with lower risk.
Condition: The stock is in an uptrend but dips down to touch or test the 8 EMA.
Validation: The candle must show a "dip" (red candle or lower close) to ensure we are buying a pullback, not chasing a top.
Visual: The Dashboard "Action Signal" will turn orange and display "✅ ENTER".
📋 The Checklist Dashboard
Located in the corner of your chart, this table provides a live status report for the current bar:
Trend (> 200 SMA):
🟢 Bullish: Price is in an uptrend. Safe to look for entries.
🔴 Bearish: Price is below the 200 SMA. Stay away.
Above Resistance?:
🟢 Breakout: Price has cleared the multi-month resistance line.
⚪ ---: Price is currently below the key breakout level.
Near 8 EMA?:
🟢 Yes: Price is near the "value zone" (8 EMA) for a potential pullback entry.
Action Signal:
🚀 GAP UP: Strong momentum gap detected.
✅ ENTER: Valid pullback entry detected.
⏳ WAIT: No clear setup found.
⚙️ Settings
Momentum EMA Length: Default is 8. Controls the sensitivity of the pullback line.
Trend SMA Length: Default is 200. The standard for long-term trend filtering.
Gap Up % Threshold: Default is 3.0%. Minimum overnight gap size required to trigger a signal.
Resistance Lookback (Months): Default is 3. The script will look back this many months to find and draw the key resistance line.
Table Position: Move the checklist to any corner of your screen.

EMA 9/26 Cross (Signals + Alerts)What it calculates
EMA 9 (fast) and EMA 26 (slow) on whatever price source you pick (default: close).
It watches for two events:
Bullish cross (BUY): EMA 9 crosses above EMA 26 (ta.crossover)
Bearish cross (SELL): EMA 9 crosses below EMA 26 (ta.crossunder)
What you see on the chart
Two EMA lines (fast + slow), plotted on the price chart (overlay=true).
Optional markers:
A triangle up under the candle labeled BUY on bullish cross.
A triangle down above the candle labeled SELL on bearish cross.
What you can customize (inputs)
Source (close, open, hl2, etc.)
Fast EMA length (defaults to 9)
Slow EMA length (defaults to 26)
Toggle to show/hide EMAs
Toggle to show/hide markers
Alerts (the important part)
It defines two alertcondition() rules:
“EMA 9/26 Bullish Cross” fires exactly when the bullish crossover happens.
“EMA 9/26 Bearish Cross” fires exactly when the bearish crossunder happens.
So in TradingView you can create alerts like:
Notify/push/email/webhook when BUY happens
Notify/push/email/webhook when SELL happens
What it does not do
It doesn’t place trades or track performance (no entries/exits, no P&L).
It won’t “stay long” or “stay short”—it only flags the moment of the cross.
If you want, I can modify Option A to:
only alert on confirmed bar close (to avoid intrabar “false crosses”),
add trend filter (e.g., only BUY if price > EMA200),
or add a cooldown so it won’t spam signals in choppy markets.

# Introduction
**Penny Stock Short Signal Pro (PSSP)** is a comprehensive Pine Script v6 indicator specifically engineered for identifying high-probability short-selling opportunities on low-priced, high-volatility stocks. Unlike generic indicators that apply broad technical analysis, PSSP is purpose-built for the unique characteristics of penny stock price action—where parabolic moves, retail FOMO, and violent reversals create predictable patterns for prepared traders.
## Key Features
- **7 Independent Detection Systems** working in concert to identify exhaustion points
- **Composite Signal Engine** that requires multiple confirmations before triggering
- **Real-Time Dashboard** displaying all signal states and market metrics
- **Automatic Risk Management** with dynamic stop-loss and profit target calculations
- **Customizable Sensitivity** for different trading styles (scalping vs. swing)
- **Built-in Alert System** for all major signal types
## Who Is This For?
- **Active Day Traders** looking to capitalize on intraday reversals
- **Short Sellers** who specialize in penny stocks and small caps
- **Momentum Traders** who want to identify when momentum is exhausting
- **Risk-Conscious Traders** who need clear entry/exit levels
---
# Why Short Penny Stocks?
## The Penny Stock Lifecycle
Penny stocks follow a remarkably predictable lifecycle that creates shorting opportunities:
```
PHASE 1: ACCUMULATION
└── Low volume, tight range
└── Smart money quietly building positions
PHASE 2: MARKUP / PROMOTION
└── News catalyst or promotional campaign
└── Volume increases, price begins rising
└── Early momentum traders enter
PHASE 3: DISTRIBUTION (YOUR OPPORTUNITY)
└── Parabolic move attracts retail FOMO buyers
└── Smart money selling into strength
└── Volume climax signals exhaustion
└── ⚠️ PSSP SIGNALS FIRE HERE ⚠️
PHASE 4: DECLINE
└── Support breaks, panic selling
└── Price returns toward origin
└── Short sellers profit
```
## Why Shorts Work on Penny Stocks
1. **No Fundamental Support**: Most penny stocks have no earnings, revenue, or assets to justify elevated prices
2. **Promotional Nature**: Many rallies are driven by promoters who will eventually stop
3. **Retail Exhaustion**: Retail buying power is finite—when it's exhausted, gravity takes over
4. **Float Dynamics**: Low float stocks move fast in both directions
5. **Technical Levels Matter**: VWAP, round numbers, and prior highs become self-fulfilling resistance
---
# The 7 Core Detection Systems
PSSP employs seven independent detection algorithms. Each identifies a specific type of exhaustion or reversal signal. When multiple systems fire simultaneously, the probability of a successful short dramatically increases.
---
## 1. PARABOLIC EXHAUSTION DETECTOR
### What It Detects
Identifies when price has moved too far, too fast and is likely to reverse. This system looks for the classic "blow-off top" pattern common in penny stock runners.
### Technical Logic
```
Parabolic Signal = TRUE when:
├── Consecutive green candles ≥ threshold (default: 3)
├── AND price extension from VWAP ≥ threshold ATRs (default: 1.5)
└── OR shooting star / upper wick rejection pattern forms
```
### Visual Representation
```
╱╲ ← Shooting star / upper wick
╱ ╲ (Parabolic exhaustion)
╱
╱
╱
══════════════ VWAP
╱
╱
```
### Why It Works on Penny Stocks
Penny stocks are notorious for parabolic moves driven by retail FOMO. When everyone who wants to buy has bought, there's no one left to push prices higher. The shooting star pattern shows that sellers are already stepping in at higher prices.
### Key Settings
| Parameter | Default | Range | Description |
|-----------|---------|-------|-------------|
| Lookback Period | 10 | 3-30 | Bars to analyze for pattern |
| Extension Threshold | 1.5 ATR | 0.5-5.0 | How far above VWAP is "parabolic" |
| Consecutive Green Bars | 3 | 2-10 | Minimum green bars for exhaustion |
---
## 2. VWAP REJECTION SYSTEM
### What It Detects
Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) is the single most important level for institutional traders. This system identifies when price tests above VWAP and gets rejected back below—a powerful short signal.
### Technical Logic
```
VWAP Rejection = TRUE when:
├── Candle high pierces above VWAP
├── AND candle closes below VWAP
├── AND candle is bearish (close < open)
└── AND rejection distance is within sensitivity threshold
```
### Visual Representation
```
High ──→ ╱╲
╱ ╲
VWAP ════════╱════╲═══════════
Close ←── Rejection
```
### Extended VWAP Signals
The system also tracks VWAP standard deviation bands. Rejection from the upper band (2 standard deviations above VWAP) is an even stronger signal.
### Why It Works on Penny Stocks
- Algorithms and institutions use VWAP as their benchmark
- Failed attempts to reclaim VWAP often lead to waterfall selling
- VWAP acts as a "magnet" that price tends to revert toward
### Key Settings
| Parameter | Default | Range | Description |
|-----------|---------|-------|-------------|
| Rejection Sensitivity | 0.5 ATR | 0.1-2.0 | How close to VWAP for valid rejection |
| Show VWAP Line | True | - | Display VWAP on chart |
| Show VWAP Bands | True | - | Display standard deviation bands |
| Band Multiplier | 2.0 | 0.5-4.0 | Standard deviations for bands |

## 3. VOLUME CLIMAX DETECTOR
### What It Detects
Identifies "blow-off tops" where extreme volume accompanies a price spike. This often marks the exact top as it represents maximum retail participation—after which buying power is exhausted.
### Technical Logic
```
Volume Climax = TRUE when:
├── Current volume ≥ (Average volume × Climax Multiple)
├── AND one of:
│ ├── Selling into the high (upper wick > lower wick on green bar)
│ └── OR post-climax weakness (red bar following climax bar)
```
### Visual Representation
```
Price: ╱╲
╱ ╲
╱ ╲
╱ ╲
╱
Volume:
▂▃▅▇██▇▅▃▂▁
↑
Volume Climax (3x+ average)
```
### Why It Works on Penny Stocks
- Retail traders pile in at the top, creating volume spikes
- Market makers and smart money use this liquidity to exit
- Once the volume spike passes, there's no fuel left for higher prices
- The "smart money selling into dumb money buying" creates the top
### Key Settings
| Parameter | Default | Range | Description |
|-----------|---------|-------|-------------|
| Volume MA Length | 20 | 5-50 | Period for average volume calculation |
| Climax Volume Multiple | 3.0x | 1.5-10.0 | Multiple of average for "climax" |
| Show Volume Bars | True | - | Visual volume representation |
---
## 4. RSI DIVERGENCE ANALYZER
### What It Detects
Bearish divergence occurs when price makes higher highs but RSI (momentum) makes lower highs. This indicates that momentum is weakening even as price pushes higher—a warning of imminent reversal.
### Technical Logic
```
Bearish Divergence = TRUE when:
├── RSI is in overbought territory (> threshold)
├── AND RSI is declining (current < previous < prior)
└── Indicates momentum exhaustion before price catches up
```
### Visual Representation
```
Price: /\ /\
/ \ / \ ← Higher high
/ \/
/
/
RSI: /\
/ \ /\
/ \/ \ ← Lower high (DIVERGENCE)
/ \
════════════════════ Overbought (70)
```
### Why It Works on Penny Stocks
- Penny stocks often push to new highs on weaker and weaker momentum
- Divergence signals that fewer buyers are participating at each new high
- Eventually, the lack of buying pressure leads to collapse
### Key Settings
| Parameter | Default | Range | Description |
|-----------|---------|-------|-------------|
| RSI Length | 14 | 5-30 | Standard RSI calculation period |
| Overbought Level | 70 | 60-90 | RSI level considered overbought |
| Divergence Lookback | 14 | 5-30 | Bars to look back for swing highs |
---
## 5. KEY LEVEL REJECTION TRACKER
### What It Detects
Identifies rejections from significant price levels where shorts are likely to be concentrated: High of Day (HOD), premarket highs, and psychological levels (whole and half dollars).
### Technical Logic
```
Level Rejection = TRUE when:
├── Price touches key level (within 0.2% tolerance)
├── AND candle is bearish (close < open)
├── AND close is in lower portion of candle range
│
├── Key Levels Tracked:
│ ├── High of Day (HOD)
│ ├── Premarket High
│ └── Psychological levels ($1.00, $1.50, $2.00, etc.)
```
### Visual Representation
```
HOD ─────────────────────────────────
╱╲ ← Rejection
╱ ╲
╱ ╲
╱
─────────────────────────────────
PM High ─────────────────────────────
```
### Why It Works on Penny Stocks
- **HOD**: The high of day is where the most traders are trapped long. Failure to break HOD often triggers stop-loss cascades
- **Premarket High**: Represents overnight enthusiasm; failure to exceed often means the "news" is priced in
- **Psychological Levels**: Round numbers ($1, $2, $5) attract orders and act as natural resistance
### Key Settings
| Parameter | Default | Range | Description |
|-----------|---------|-------|-------------|
| Track HOD Rejection | True | - | Monitor high of day |
| Track Premarket High | True | - | Monitor premarket resistance |
| Track Psychological Levels | True | - | Monitor round numbers |
---
## 6. FAILED BREAKOUT DETECTOR
### What It Detects
Identifies "bull traps" where price breaks above resistance but immediately fails and closes back below. This traps breakout buyers and often leads to accelerated selling.
### Technical Logic
```
Failed Breakout = TRUE when:
├── Price breaks above recent high (lookback period)
├── AND one of:
│ ├── Same bar closes below the breakout level
│ └── OR following bars show consecutive red candles
```
### Visual Representation
```
╱╲
╱ ╲ ← False breakout
Recent High ══╱════╲════════════════
╱ ╲
╱ ╲
╱ ╲ ← Trapped longs panic sell
```
### Why It Works on Penny Stocks
- Breakout traders enter on the break, providing exit liquidity for smart money
- When the breakout fails, these traders become trapped and must exit
- Their forced selling accelerates the decline
- Penny stocks have thin order books, making failed breakouts especially violent
### Key Settings
| Parameter | Default | Range | Description |
|-----------|---------|-------|-------------|
| Breakout Lookback | 5 | 2-15 | Bars to define "recent high" |
| Confirmation Bars | 2 | 1-5 | Bars to confirm failure |
---
## 7. MOVING AVERAGE BREAKDOWN SYSTEM
### What It Detects
Monitors exponential moving averages (EMAs) for bearish crossovers and price rejections. EMA crosses often signal trend changes, while rejections from EMAs indicate resistance.
### Technical Logic
```
MA Breakdown = TRUE when:
├── Bearish EMA cross (fast crosses below slow)
└── OR EMA rejection (price tests EMA from below and fails)
```
### Visual Representation
```
╱╲ ← Rejection from EMA
╱ ╲
EMA 9 ═══════════╱════╲═══════════
╲
EMA 20 ═══════════════════╲════════
╲
Bearish cross ↓
```
### Why It Works on Penny Stocks
- EMAs smooth out the noise and show underlying trend direction
- When fast EMA crosses below slow EMA, it signals momentum shift
- Rejected attempts to reclaim EMAs show sellers are in control
### Key Settings
| Parameter | Default | Range | Description |
|-----------|---------|-------|-------------|
| Fast EMA | 9 | 3-20 | Short-term trend |
| Slow EMA | 20 | 10-50 | Medium-term trend |
| Show EMAs | True | - | Display on chart |

# Visual Elements Explained
## Chart Overlays
### VWAP Line (Blue)
- **Solid blue line** = Volume Weighted Average Price
- Price above VWAP = bullish bias
- Price below VWAP = bearish bias
- **Use**: Short when price rejects from above VWAP
### VWAP Bands (Purple circles)
- Upper band = 2 standard deviations above VWAP
- Lower band = 2 standard deviations below VWAP
- **Use**: Extreme extension to upper band signals potential reversal
### EMAs (Orange and Red)
- **Orange line** = Fast EMA (9-period default)
- **Red line** = Slow EMA (20-period default)
- **Use**: Bearish cross or price rejection from EMAs confirms short
### HOD Line (Red, dashed)
- Shows the current day's high
- **Use**: Rejection from HOD is a key short signal
### Premarket High (Orange, dashed)
- Shows premarket session high
- **Use**: Failure to break PM high often signals weakness

# Risk Management
## Position Sizing Formula
```
Position Size = (Account Risk %) / (Stop Loss %)
Example:
- Account: $25,000
- Risk per trade: 1% = $250
- Entry: $2.00
- Stop: $2.20 (10% stop)
- Position Size: $250 / 10% = $2,500 worth
- Shares: $2,500 / $2.00 = 1,250 shares
```
## Risk Rules
### The 1% Rule
Never risk more than 1% of your account on any single trade. For a $25,000 account, max risk = $250.
### The 2x Stop Rule
If your stop gets hit twice on the same stock, stop trading it for the day. The pattern isn't working.
### The Daily Loss Limit
Set a maximum daily loss (e.g., 3% of account). Stop trading if hit.
### The Size-Down Rule
After a losing trade, reduce your next position size by 50%. Rebuild after a winner.
## Short-Specific Risks
### The Short Squeeze
- Penny stocks can squeeze violently
- ALWAYS use stops
- Never "hope" a position comes back
- Size appropriately for volatility
### The Hard-to-Borrow
- Check borrow availability before trading
- High borrow fees eat into profits
- Some stocks become HTB mid-trade
### The Halt Risk
- Penny stocks can halt on volatility
- Position size for worst-case halt against you
- Halts can open significantly higher

# Best Practices
## DO's
✅ **Wait for multiple signals** - Single signals have lower accuracy
✅ **Trade with the trend** - Short when daily trend is down
✅ **Use the dashboard** - Check signal count before entering
✅ **Respect stops** - The indicator calculates them for a reason
✅ **Size appropriately** - Penny stocks are volatile; position small
✅ **Trade liquid stocks** - Volume ≥ 500K daily average
✅ **Know the catalyst** - Understand why the stock is moving
✅ **Take partial profits** - Secure gains at T1
✅ **Journal your trades** - Track what works and what doesn't
✅ **Time your entries** - Best shorts often come 10:30-11:30 AM
## DON'Ts
❌ **Don't short strong stocks** - If it won't go down, don't force it
❌ **Don't fight the tape** - A stock going up can keep going up
❌ **Don't average up on losers** - Adding to losing shorts is dangerous
❌ **Don't ignore the dashboard** - It exists to help you
❌ **Don't overtrade** - Quality over quantity
❌ **Don't short into news** - Wait for the reaction first
❌ **Don't trade the first 5 minutes** - Too chaotic for reliable signals
❌ **Don't hold overnight** - Penny stock gaps can destroy accounts
❌ **Don't trade without stops** - Ever.
❌ **Don't trade on tilt** - After losses, take a break
## Optimal Trading Windows
| Time (ET) | Quality | Notes |
|-----------|---------|-------|
| 9:30-9:35 | ⭐ | Too volatile, avoid |
| 9:35-10:30 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Best shorts, morning runners exhaust |
| 10:30-11:30 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Secondary exhaustion, HOD rejections |
| 11:30-2:00 | ⭐⭐ | Midday lull, lower quality |
| 2:00-3:00 | ⭐⭐⭐ | Afternoon setups develop |
| 3:00-3:30 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | End of day momentum |
| 3:30-4:00 | ⭐⭐ | Closing volatility, risky |

# Troubleshooting
## Common Issues
### "Signals aren't appearing"
- Check that the relevant system is enabled in settings
- Ensure minimum signals threshold isn't too high
- Verify the stock has sufficient volume for calculations
### "Too many false signals"
- Increase minimum signals threshold
- Use more conservative settings (see Settings section)
- Focus on stocks with cleaner price action
### "Dashboard not showing"
- Ensure "Show Signal Dashboard" is enabled
- Check that your chart has enough space
- Try a different dashboard position
### "VWAP line is missing"
- VWAP requires intraday timeframes (1m, 5m, 15m, etc.)
- VWAP resets daily; won't show on daily+ charts
- Ensure "Show VWAP Line" is enabled
### "Stop loss seems too tight/wide"
- Adjust Stop ATR Multiple in Risk Management settings
- Lower multiple = tighter stop
- Higher multiple = wider stop
### "Alerts not triggering"
- Verify alert is set to the correct indicator
- Check that alert hasn't expired
- Ensure notification settings are configured in TradingView
## Performance Optimization
If the indicator is slow:
1. Reduce the number of visual elements shown
2. Disable unused signal systems
3. Use on fewer simultaneous charts
4. Close unused browser tabs
