Force Pulse█ OVERVIEW
Force Pulse is a fast-reacting oscillator that measures the internal strength of market sides by analyzing the aggregated dominance of bulls and bears based on candle size.
The indicator normalizes this difference into a 0–100 range, generates signals (OB/OS, midline cross, MA midline cross), and detects divergences between price and the oscillator.
It also offers advanced visualization, signal markers, and alerts, making it a versatile tool suitable for many trading styles.
█ CONCEPTS
Force Pulse was designed as a universal tool that can be applied to various trading strategies depending on its settings:
- increasing the period lengths and smoothing transforms it into a momentum/trend indicator, revealing a stable dominance of one market side.
- Lowering these parameters turns it into a peak/low detector, ideal for contrarian and mean-reversion strategies.
The oscillator analyzes the relationship between the sum of bullish and bearish candles over a selected period, based on:
- candle body size, or
- average candle body size (AVG Body).
Depending on the selected mode, OB/OS levels should be adjusted, as value dynamics differ between modes.
The output is normalized to 0–100, where:
> 50 – bullish dominance,
< 50 – bearish dominance.
The additional MA line is derived from smoothed oscillator values and serves as a signal line for midline crosses and as a trend filter.
The indicator also detects divergences (HL/LL) between price and the oscillator.
█ FEATURES
Bull & Bear Strength:
- Calculations are based on Body or AVG Body – mode selection requires adjusting OB/OS levels.
- Bullish and bearish candle values are summed separately.
- All results are normalized to the 0–100 scale.
Force Pulse Oscillator:
- The main line reflects the current dominance of either market side.
Dynamic colors:
- Green – above 50,
- Red – below 50.
Signal MA:
- SMA based on oscillator values functions as a signal line.
- Helps detect momentum shifts and generates signals via midline crosses.
- Can serve as a trend confirmation filter.
Overbought / Oversold:
- Configurable OB/OS levels, also for the MA line.
- Dynamic OB/OS line colors: when the MA line exceeds the defined threshold (e.g., MA > maOverbought or MA < maOversold), OB/OS lines change color (red/green).
- This often signals a potential reversal or correction and may act as additional confirmation for oscillator-generated signals.
Divergences:
- Detection based on swing pivots:
- Bullish: price LL, oscillator HL
- Bearish: price HH, oscillator LH
- Displayed as “Bull” / “Bear” labels.
Signals:
Supports multiple signal types:
- Overbought/Oversold Cross
- Midline Cross
- MA Midline Cross (based on the signal MA line)
- Signals appear as triangles above/below the oscillator.
Visualization:
- Gradient options for lines and levels.
- Full customization of colors, transparency, and line thickness.
Alerts available for:
- Divergences

█ HOW TO USE
Add the indicator to your TradingView chart → Indicators → search “Force Pulse”
Parameter Configuration
Calculation Settings:
- Calculation Period (lookback) – defines the strength calculation window.
Force Mode (Body / AVG Body):
- Body – faster response, higher sensitivity.
- AVG Body – more stable output; adjust band levels and periods to your strategy.
- EMA Smoothing (smoothLen) – reduces oscillator noise.
- MA Length – length of the signal line (SMA).
Threshold Levels:
- Set Overbought/Oversold levels for both the oscillator and the MA line.
- Adjust levels depending on Body / AVG Body mode.
Divergence Detection:
- Enable/disable divergence detection.
- PivotLength affects both delay and signal quality.
- Signal Settings: Choose one or multiple signal types.
- Style & Colors: Full control over color schemes, gradients, and transparency.
Signal Interpretation
BUY:
- Oscillator leaves oversold (OS crossover).
- Midline cross upward.
- MA crosses the midline from below.
- Bullish divergence.
SELL:
- Oscillator leaves overbought (drops below OB).
- Midline cross downward.
- MA crosses the midline from above.
- Bearish divergence.
Trend / Momentum:
-Longer periods and stronger smoothing → stable directional signals.
-MA as a trend filter: e.g., signal line above the midline (50) and MA pointing upward indicates continuation of a bullish impulse.
Contrarian / Mean Reversion:
- Short periods → rapid detection of peaks and troughs; ideal for contrarian signals and pullback entries.
█ APPLICATIONS
- Trend Trading: Using midline and MA midline crosses to determine direction.
- Reversal Trading: OB/OS levels and divergences help identify reversals.
- Scalping & Intraday: Short settings + signal line above the midline with bullish MA → shows short-term impulse and continuation.
- Swing Trading: Longer MA and higher lookback provide a stable view of market-side dominance.
- Momentum Analysis: Force Pulse highlights the strength of the wave before price movement occurs.
█ NOTES
- In strong trends, the oscillator may stay in extreme zones for a long time — this reflects dominance, not necessarily a reversal signal.
- Divergences are more reliable on higher timeframes.
- OB/OS levels should be tailored to Body/AVG Body mode and the instrument.
- Best results come from combining the indicator with other tools (S/R, market structure, volume).
Oscillateurs
Fluxion Oscillator [Kodexius]Fluxion Oscillator is a multi dimensional momentum and flow toolkit designed to highlight exhaustion, reversals and confluence in a very compact way. The script combines a normalized trend oscillator, volume sensitive money movement, a volatility gauge and a visual confluence gauge that all sit in a single pane.
Instead of focusing on a single signal, Fluxion looks at the interaction between price, momentum and volume. The core oscillator tracks the relationship between a fast and a slow response of price, then rescales it into a stable 0 to 100 band. A companion flow line tracks how actively price is being supported or pressured by volume. On top of that, a volatility based gauge and an overbought or oversold reversal layer help highlight when moves are stretched and vulnerable.
The result is an environment where you can quickly see:
-When momentum is expanding or fading
-When price swings are supported or rejected by volume
-Where local tops or bottoms can be forming through divergence
-How strong the current push is in the context of recent volatility
-A compact gauge that visually ranks the current state from “minimum” to “maximum” pressure
It is not a trading system by itself, but a framework that makes it much easier to build rules and confluence around your own strategy.
⭐ Features
Normalized Fluxion Oscillator
Core oscillator built from the difference between a fast and a slow smoothing of the chosen source.
Automatically normalized into a bounded range so it behaves consistently across symbols and timeframes.
Dual line structure: the main line and a signal line, making crossovers easy to read.
Dynamic fill that shifts color depending on whether the main line is above or below the signal line.
Bullish and Bearish Crosses
Visual circles highlighting when the main oscillator crosses its signal line upward or downward.
Bullish crosses emphasize potential momentum ignition after downside pressure.
Bearish crosses emphasize potential cooling of momentum after upside pressure.
Money Flow Layer
Separate line that blends price and volume over a configurable lookback.
Smoothed to reduce noise and plotted around a central balance level.
Colored region that clearly shows whether buying pressure or selling pressure dominates.
Divergence Detection Suite
Automatic detection of regular bullish and regular bearish divergences between price and the normalized oscillator.
Optional hidden bullish and hidden bearish divergences for continuation setups.
Uses pivot based swing points so the lines attach to meaningful highs and lows instead of random wiggles.
All divergence types can be toggled independently so you can keep the chart as clean as you like.
Volatility and Positioning Gauge
A compact gauge that evaluates where the current price sits relative to a volume weighted average and its recent typical fluctuation.
Colors shift as price moves from neutral to stretched zones in either direction.
Background highlighting above and below the oscillator scale to reflect when this gauge is in an extreme region.
Helps quickly see whether you are buying into strength after a large extension or stepping in near value.
Reversal Signals With Volume Confirmation
A higher time sensitivity reversal metric based on a 0 to 100 scale of recent price changes.
Signals are only highlighted when there is also a short burst in volume, so quiet market noise is reduced.
Bearish reversal markers appear in the upper region, bullish markers in the lower region, giving a clear visual “top” and “bottom” feel.
Confluence Gauge
Right side grid composed of horizontal bands, from “Min” at the bottom to “Max” at the top.
Each band reflects a segment of a smoothed, range based momentum reading that tracks how far price has advanced within its recent 0 to 100 window.
The currently active band is highlighted in green for bullish momentum or red for bearish momentum, depending on the relationship between fast and slow lines within that range.
A pointer and labels make it obvious where the current environment sits relative to the full range of possible conditions.
Divergence Core
Users can define the pivot length to control how strict and how far apart swing points should be.
High Customization
Adjustable lookback lengths for the core oscillator, signal smoothing and normalization.
Separate controls for money flow length and smoothing.
Optional toggles for each divergence type so you can focus only on the structures you care about.
⭐ Calculations
This section explains conceptually how Fluxion works without exposing the full underlying formula details. The goal is to help you understand what each component represents and how it behaves, so you can use it more effectively.
Fluxion Oscillator Core
The foundation of the indicator is the difference between two smoothed versions of the selected price source. One reacts more quickly to new price information, the other reacts more slowly.
When the fast curve is above the slow curve, the oscillator becomes positive, signaling that short term action is advancing faster than the background trend. When the fast curve is below the slow curve, it becomes negative, indicating short term weakness.
This raw difference is then normalized over a rolling window. The highest and lowest values in that window are used to rescale the oscillator into a 0 to 100 band. This produces a stable, comparable scale across markets and timeframes.
A secondary smoothing of the oscillator creates the signal line. The interaction between the main line and this signal is used to color the fill region and locate cross events.
Money Flow Construction
The money flow line is based on how price closes within its candle range combined with the traded volume. Up candles with strong closes and high volume contribute positively, while down candles with weak closes and high volume contribute negatively.
These contributions are aggregated over a configurable period to create a net “pressure” measure. The result represents how aggressively participants have been positioning over that window, not just whether price went up or down.
The line is then smoothed to reduce micro noise and plotted around a central balance level, here set at 50. Values above the balance zone suggest net positive pressure, values below suggest net negative pressure.
An additional internal threshold is used to detect when this pressure stays on one side of the balance area long enough to be considered an “overflow,” which helps detect sustained accumulation or distribution phases.
Volatility and Positioning Gauge
The gauge computes a volume weighted average price over a user defined period. This gives more weight to prices at which more volume was traded.
It then evaluates how far the current price is from that volume weighted center, relative to the typical price variation around it. This creates a standardized distance measure that tells you how stretched price is from its recent fair zone.
When the distance becomes significantly positive, the market is considered extended upward. When it becomes significantly negative, it is extended downward. Intermediate thresholds are used to create “warning” and “extreme” zones.
Background fills at the top and bottom of the panel change based on this standardized distance, visually indicating when the market is moving into overextended territory that often precedes mean reversion or at least slowing of the move.
Reversal Metric With Volume Filter
A separate 0 to 100 style momentum score is calculated over a mid length window. It evaluates recent gains and losses in price to produce a relative strength measure of the current move.
Upper and lower thresholds on this score are used to mark areas where price action is historically stretched to the upside or downside.
This alone would generate many signals, so a volume based filter is added. Reversal markers are only displayed when this momentum score is in an extreme area and volume has shown a short term pickup.
This combination gives more weight to reversals that occur during active trading, where trapped positions and forced unwinds are more likely.
Divergence Engine
The divergence logic scans for swing highs and swing lows in the normalized oscillator and in price. Swing points are defined by requiring a certain number of bars on both sides of the pivot, which you can configure via the divergence length input.
For regular bullish divergence:
Price makes a lower low, indicating apparent weakness.
The oscillator makes a higher low over the same general region, indicating that internal momentum is actually improving.
If both conditions are met within a valid bar distance, a bullish divergence line is drawn from the prior oscillator pivot to the new one.
For regular bearish divergence:
Price makes a higher high, suggesting continued strength.
The oscillator makes a lower high, showing that underlying momentum is waning.
The engine checks that both pivot structures appear within an allowed time frame, then draws a bearish line between the oscillator peaks.
Hidden divergences are handled in a similar way, except the direction of price and oscillator swings is reversed, which makes them suitable for trend continuation contexts instead of reversal contexts.
Confluence Gauge
The grid on the right converts a smoothed, range based momentum reading into ten equal bands. This momentum reading looks at where the current value sits between the lowest and highest readings of a recent window, then rescales it into a 0 to 100 scale.
That 0 to 100 value is divided into ten slices of ten points each. For example, 0 to 10 is the lowest band, 90 to 100 is the top band.
The algorithm then checks whether the fast component of this reading is above or below its slower companion. If fast is above slow, it is treated as bullish pressure and the active band is colored in green. If fast is below slow, it is treated as bearish pressure and the active band is colored in red.
A pointer label is placed alongside the active band and “Max” and “Min” markers are drawn above and below the grid. This creates a compact visual where you can quickly gauge if the current state is closer to the lower boundary of recent conditions or to the upper boundary, along with its directional bias.
Normalization And Scaling
Several internal components use rolling highest and lowest values to transform raw readings into normalized percentages. This includes the main oscillator and the range based momentum used by the confluence gauge.
The key idea is to express conditions relative to what has recently been possible on that instrument and timeframe instead of using absolute fixed thresholds. This makes Fluxion adaptive and more robust when switching between assets with different volatility profiles.
SuperTrend Oscillator MTF█ OVERVIEW
SuperTrend Oscillator MTF is a multi-timeframe version of the classic SuperTrend converted into an oscillator. Instead of drawing the SuperTrend line on the price chart, it displays the distance of the close from the SuperTrend line simultaneously for the current timeframe and two additional timeframes. This allows you to instantly see the trend direction and strength across three selected timeframes in a single window.
█ CONCEPT
The classic SuperTrend value is subtracted from price and normalized so that trend direction can be directly compared across different timeframes without switching charts.
- Value above zero = price below SuperTrend line → bearish trend
- Value below zero = price above SuperTrend line → bullish trend
- The further away from zero, the stronger the trend.
█ FEATURES
- Three SuperTrend Oscillator lines: current TF, TF1 and TF2
- Automatic detection of 3-timeframe agreement
- BUY and SELL labels that appear only when all three timeframes turn in the same direction at the same moment
- Circle signals on every zero-line cross of the current timeframe
- Configurable soft gradient fill (can be disabled)
- Zero line changes color (green/red/gray) depending on 3-TF agreement
- Fully customizable colors for each timeframe
- Built-in alerts for all signal types
█ HOW TO USE
Add the indicator to the chart → set two additional timeframes and adjust ATR Period and Factor to suit your trading style.
Main settings:
- ATR Period → default 10
- Factor → default 3.0 (higher = fewer signals)
- TF 1 and TF 2 → any timeframes (e.g. 1H+4H, 4H+D, D+W, etc.)
- Enable gradient → turn fill on/off
- Show BUY/SELL labels (3 TF agreement) → enable/disable the strongest signals
Interpretation:
Two types of signals:
- Green/red circles → current timeframe changes trend direction (faster signal)
- BUY/SELL labels → all three timeframes simultaneously switch to the same direction (strongest confluence)
- Additionally, the zero line turns green or red when all three trends are aligned.
█ APPLICATIONS
Perfect for:
- Trend-following with multi-timeframe confirmation
- Filtering false breakouts on lower timeframes
- Scalping & day trading (use fast circle signals)
- Swing & position trading (wait for full 3-TF agreement)
Best combined with:
- Support/resistance levels and supply/demand zones – enter long after a confirmed breakout and retest of a key level (e.g. Change of Character, Break of Structure, Order Block, 0.618–0.786 Fibonacci) only when the oscillator shows 3-TF agreement or at least a bullish circle. Hold the trade to the next significant resistance/supply zone.
- Volume and Volume Profile – confirm move strength with rising volume and high-volume nodes at the breakout level. Declining volume while moving away from zero may signal trend exhaustion.
- Classic oscillators (RSI, Stochastic, MACD) – use primarily for spotting divergences and overbought/oversold conditions. One of the safest exits is when a regular or hidden divergence appears on RSI/Stochastic in an extreme zone, even if SuperTrend Oscillator MTF still shows alignment.
█ NOTES
- Works on all markets and all timeframes
- BUY/SELL labels (3-TF agreement) are the cleanest and strongest signals
- Circle signals are faster but more prone to noise
- Higher ATR Period = fewer signals, higher quality
SuperTrend Fusion — Trend + Momentum + Volatility FilterSuperTrend Fusion — Trend + Momentum + Volatility Filter
SuperTrend Fusion — ATP is an original, multi-factor trend-filtering tool that enhances the classic SuperTrend by combining three market dimensions in one unified model:
1. Trend direction (SuperTrend)
Provides the base trend structure using ATR-based volatility bands.
2. Momentum confirmation (Average Force – adapted)
An adapted version of an open-source “Average Force” concept published on TradingView by racer8.
This component measures where closing price sits relative to recent highs/lows, smoothed to capture directional pressure.
3. Market condition filtering (Choppiness Index)
Filters out sideways, non-trending zones where SuperTrend alone typically produces false flips.
Together, these components create a cleaner, more selective system that focuses on higher-quality SuperTrend reversals, avoiding the most common whipsaws that occur during low-momentum or high-choppiness periods.
🔍 How it Works
A long signal occurs when:
- SuperTrend flips from downtrend to uptrend
- Momentum (AF) is positive (optional filter)
- The market is trending and not excessively choppy (optional filter)
A short signal triggers under the symmetrical conditions.
Filtered signals are visually marked with subtle “X” markers so traders can understand when a raw SuperTrend flip was rejected by the filters.
The indicator also includes:
Enhanced styling for better visibility
Colored bars during valid signals
Optional background highlight during choppy periods
🎯 What This Indicator Is Designed For
This tool aims to:
- Improve the quality of SuperTrend entries
- Remove many low-probability signals
- Help traders visually identify when the market has the momentum and structure required for cleaner trend continuation
It is not intended to predict markets or guarantee accuracy; rather, it provides structure and clarity for decision-making based on technical rules.
⚙️ Inputs
- ATR Length & Factor (SuperTrend)
- Average Force Period & Smoothing
- Choppiness Length & Threshold
- Option to enable/disable each filter individually
📘 Credits
This script includes an adapted version of an open-source “Average Force” function originally published on TradingView by its author, racer8.

Hybrid -WinCAlgo/// 🇬🇧
Hybrid - WinCAlgo is a weighted composite oscillator designed to provide a more robust and reliable signal than the standard Relative Strength Index (RSI). It integrates four different momentum and volume metrics—RSI, Money Flow Index (MFI), Scaled CCI, and VWAP-RSI—into a single 0-100 oscillator.
This powerful tool aims to filter market noise and enhance the detection of trend reversals by confirming momentum with trading volume and volume-weighted average price action.
⚪ What is this Indicator?
The Hybrid Oscillator combines:
* RSI (40% Weight): Measures fundamental price momentum.
* VWAP-RSI (40% Weight): Measures the momentum of the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP), providing strong volume confirmation for trend strength.
* MFI (10% Weight): Measures money flow volume, confirming momentum with liquidity.
* Scaled CCI (10% Weight): Tracks market extremes and potential trend shifts, scaled to fit the 0-100 range.
⚪ Key Features
* Composite Strength: Blends four different market factors for a multi-dimensional view of momentum.
* Volume Integration: High weights on VWAP-RSI and MFI ensure that momentum signals are backed by trading volume.
* Advanced Divergence: The robust formula significantly enhances the detection of Bullish and Bearish Divergences, often providing an earlier signal than traditional oscillators.
* Customizable: Adjustable Lookback Length (N) and Individual Component Weights allow users to fine-tune the oscillator for specific assets or timeframes.
* Visual Clarity: Uses 40/60 bands for earlier Overbought/Oversold indications, with a gradient-styled background for intuitive visual interpretation.
⚪ Usage
Use Hybrid – WinCAlgo as your primary momentum confirmation tool:
* Divergence Signals: Trust the indicator when it fails to confirm new price highs/lows; this signals imminent trend exhaustion and reversal.
* Accumulation/Distribution: Look for the oscillator to rise/fall while the price is ranging at a bottom/top; this confirms hidden buying or selling (accumulation).
* Overbought/Oversold: Use the 60 band as the trigger for potential selling/shorting signals, and the 40 band for potential buying/longing signals.
* Noise Filter: Combine with a higher timeframe chart (e.g., 4H or Daily) to filter out gürültü (noise) and focus only on significant momentum shifts.

Relative Measured Extension (RME)The Relative Measured Extension (RME) indicator is a powerful oscillator that helps traders identify extreme price extensions from a moving average by normalizing historical data on a scale of -100 to +100.
This indicator is inspired by the Deepvue RME indicator and brings its powerful methodology to TradingView with full customization options and additional features.
What Makes RME Unique?
Unlike traditional oscillators, RME dynamically calculates how extended the current price is compared to ALL previous extensions over your chosen lookback period. A reading of +100 means the stock is as far above the moving average as it has EVER been in the lookback window, while -100 indicates the maximum historical extension below the MA.
Key Features
✅ Adaptive Scaling - Automatically normalizes to historical extremes
✅ Multiple MA Types - Choose between SMA, EMA, WMA, or VWMA
✅ Visual Zones - Color-coded overbought (70-100) and oversold (-70 to -100) regions
✅ Info Dashboard - Real-time display of RME value, extension %, MA value, and status
✅ Built-in Alerts - Get notified when entering overbought/oversold zones or crossing zero
✅ Fully Customizable - Adjust all parameters to match your trading style
Recommended Settings
Position Traders:
Lookback Period: 250
MA Length: 50
Use for spotting significant trend changes and correction bottoms
Swing Traders (Option 1):
Lookback Period: 100
MA Length: 20
Faster signals for medium-term swings
Swing Traders (Option 2):
Lookback Period: 50
MA Length: 10
Most responsive for quick trades on strong momentum stocks
How to Interpret
+70 to +100 (Red Zone) - Overbought, potential pullback area
-70 to -100 (Green Zone) - Oversold, potential reversal area
Zero Line Cross - Momentum shift signal
RME at 0 in uptrends - Excellent entry points during pullbacks
Trading Application
Early in Trends: High RME readings can signal strength, though a consolidation may be needed
Late in Trends: Extreme readings may indicate exhaustion
During Corrections: Use on index ETFs (QQQ, SPY) to identify potential bottoms
Pro Tips
Compare current extremes to historical extremes in context
Strong stocks may hold near overbought zones longer
Pullbacks to zero in strong uptrends often provide low-risk entries
Works on all timeframes and instruments (stocks, crypto, forex, commodities)

EGX30 Advance/Decline Line🇪🇬 EGX30 Advance/Decline & Market Breadth Suite
This comprehensive indicator provides a deep dive into the market breadth of the EGX30 index, allowing traders and analysts to monitor underlying buying and selling pressure across its constituents. It offers five distinct metrics for a holistic view of market health, ranging from traditional Advance/Decline analysis to advanced McClellan Oscillators and TRIN (Arms Index) readings.
Key Features and Metrics
The indicator is selectable via the 'Select Metric' input and can display the following on your chart:
1. Advance/Decline Line: A cumulative measure of the difference between the number of advancing stocks and declining stocks (Advancing Stocks−Declining Stocks). It helps confirm the market's trend strength.
2. McClellan Oscillator: Calculated using the Advance/Decline Ratio (AD Ratio) smoothed by two Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs). It acts as a momentum measure of the A/D Line, highlighting potential overbought/oversold conditions and trend turns.
Climax Levels: Horizontal lines are plotted at +0.1 (Buy Climax) and −0.1 (Sell Climax).
3. Arms Index (TRIN): A volume-based indicator that measures the ratio of the Advance/Decline Ratio to the Advancing Volume/Declining Volume Ratio. A value above 1.0 is generally bearish (more volume in declining stocks), while a value below 1.0 is bullish.
Bands: Upper and Lower deviation bands are calculated and plotted for advanced analysis of extremes.
4. Total Volume: The raw, aggregated volume of all EGX30 constituent stocks.
5. Total Liquidity (Total Traded Value): The sum of (Price × Volume) for all EGX30 constituent stocks, giving a more accurate representation of capital flow.
⚙️ Customizable & Smart Configuration
The indicator is designed for maximum flexibility and accuracy across different chart timeframes:
Automatic Timeframe Configuration: When enabled (default), the script automatically selects optimized lookback periods for the Moving Average (MA), McClellan EMAs, and TRIN Lookback based on whether the chart is Intraday, Daily, Weekly, or other.
Manual Overrides: Disable the auto-configuration to manually set the MA Length, McClellan Fast/Slow EMAs, and TRIN Lookback/StdDev Multiplier for custom analysis.
📊 Advanced Data Table (Market Breakdown)
When the 'Show Table' input is toggled ON, a detailed statistics table appears on the chart's top-right corner, providing real-time market insights.
Top Performance (Contributors): Ranks and displays the Top N (customizable) stocks that are contributing the most to the index's movement, calculated as Weight × Percentage Change.
Top Liquidity: Ranks and displays the Top N stocks by their current-bar traded value (Price×Volume), expressed as a percentage of the Total Traded Value.
Horizontal Stats (Row 3): Provides a comprehensive summary of the current market state:
Adv, Decl, Unch: Count of advancing, declining, and unchanged stocks.
Net Adv: The difference between advancing and declining stocks.
Net Vol / Net Liq: Net Volume/Liquidity as a percentage of Total Volume/Liquidity.
Primary Metric/Volume Stats: Depending on the selected metric, it displays the current value of TRIN or the raw Total Volume and Total Liquidity.
This tool is indispensable for traders needing a clear, quantified understanding of the EGX30's underlying market dynamics.
EGX30 Advance/Decline v1.1
In this improved version, the relative weights of the index components have been adjusted, some stocks have been removed from the index, and new stocks have been added based on the latest update of the Egyptian Exchange's EGX30 index. Some visual improvements have also been made.
RSI Cascade DivergencesRSI Cascade Divergences is a tool for detecting divergences between price and RSI with an extended cascade-based strength accumulation logic. A “cascade” represents a sequence of multiple divergences linked through RSI pivot points. The indicator records RSI pivots, checks whether a divergence is present, assigns a strength value to each structure, and displays only signals that meet your minimum strength thresholds.
How Divergence Logic Works
The indicator identifies local RSI extremes (pivots) based on Pivot Length and Pivot Confirm.
For every confirmed pivot it stores:
the RSI value at the pivot,
the corresponding value of the RSI Source price,
the pivot’s bar index.
How a Divergence Is Formed
A divergence is detected when two consecutive RSI pivots of the same type show opposite dynamics relative to the price source defined in RSI Source (default: close), not relative to chart highs/lows.
Bearish divergence: the price source value at the second pivot is higher, but RSI forms a lower high.
Bullish divergence: the price source value at the second pivot is lower, but RSI forms a higher low.
The indicator does not use price highs/lows — only the selected price source at the pivot points.
Cascade Strength Calculation
Each new pivot is compared only with the previous pivot of the same type.
A cascade grows in strength if:
divergence conditions are met,
the difference in RSI values exceeds Min. RSI Distance,
the previous structure already had some strength or the previous pivot was formed in the OB/OS zone.
If the divergence occurs as RSI exits OB/OS, strength is additionally increased by +1.
Behavior in Strong Trends
Divergences may appear repeatedly and even form cascades with high strength. However, if price does not react meaningfully, this indicates strong trend pressure.
In such cases, divergences stop functioning as reversal signals:
RSI attempts to counter-move, but the dominant trend continues.
The indicator accurately reflects this — cascades may form but fail to trigger any reversal, which itself suggests a powerful, persistent trend.
Filtering and Context Reset
To avoid retaining irrelevant pivots:
when RSI is above Overbought → low pivots are cleared;
when RSI is below Oversold → high pivots are cleared.
This prevents false cascades during extreme RSI conditions.
Input Parameters
RSI Source — price source used in RSI calculations (close, hl2, ohlc4, etc.).
RSI Length — RSI calculation period.
Overbought / Oversold — RSI threshold zones.
Pivot Length — number of bars to the left required for a pivot.
Pivot Confirm — bars to the right required to confirm the pivot.
Min. RSI Distance — minimum difference between two pivot RSI values for the divergence to be considered meaningful.
Min. Strength (Bull / Bear) — minimum accumulated strength for:
confirming the signal,
displaying the strength label,
triggering alerts.
Weaker signals below these thresholds appear as dashed guide structures.
Visual
Display settings for lines, markers, and colors.
These parameters do not affect the indicator logic.
Important
Divergences — including cascades — should not be used as a standalone trading signal.
Always combine them with broader market context, trend analysis, structure, volume, and risk management tools.

DeltaBurst Locator ## DeltaBurst Locator
DeltaBurst Locator is a sponsorship detector that divides OBV impulse by price thrust, normalizes the ratio, and cross-checks it against a higher timeframe confirmation stream. The oscillator turns the abstract "is this move real?" question into a precise number, exposing accumulation, distribution, and exhaustion across futures and stocks.
HOW IT WORKS
OBV Impulse vs. Price Change – Smoothed deltas of On-Balance Volume and price are ratioed, then normalized using a hyperbolic tangent function to prevent single prints from dominating.
Signal vs. Confirmation – A short EMA produces the execution signal while a higher-timeframe request.security() feed validates whether broader flows agree.
Spectrum Classification – Expansion/compression metrics grade whether current aggression is intense or fading, while ±0.65 bands define exhaust/vacuum zones.
Slope Divergences – Linear regression slopes on both price and the ratio expose bullish/bearish sponsorship mismatches before candles reverse.
HOW TO USE IT
Breakout Validation : Only chase breakouts when both local and higher-timeframe ratios are on the same side of zero; mixed signals suggest liquidity is fading.
Absorption Trades : When the histogram spikes beyond ±0.65 but the EMA lags, expect absorption; combine with price structure for pinpoint reversals.
News/Event Monitoring : During earnings or macro releases, watch for ratio collapses with price still rising—this flags forced moves driven by hedging rather than real demand.

RSI Analytic Volume Matrix [RAVM] Overview
RSI Analytic Volume Matrix is an overlay indicator that turns classic RSI into a multi-layered market-reading engine. Instead of treating RSI 30 and 70 as simple buy/sell lines, RAVM combines RSI geometry (angle and acceleration), statistical volume analysis, and a 5×5 VSA-inspired matrix to describe what is really happening inside each candle.
The script is designed as an educational and analytical tool. It does not generate trading signals. Instead, it helps you read the market context, understand where the pressure is coming from (buyers vs. sellers), and see how price, momentum, and volume interact in real time.
Concept & Philosophy
RAVM is built around a hierarchical logic and a few core ideas:
• Hierarchical State Machine: First, RSI defines a context (where we are in the 0–100 range). Then the geometric engine evaluates the angle-of-turn of RSI using a Z-Score. Only after a meaningful geometric event is detected does the system promote a bar to a potential setup (warning vs. confirmed).
• Geometric Primacy: The angle and acceleration of RSI (RSI geometry) are more important than the raw RSI level itself. RAVM uses a geometric veto: if the geometric trigger is not confirmed, the confidence score is capped below 50%, even if volume looks interesting.
• RSI Beyond 30 and 70: Being above 70 or below 30 is not treated as an automatic overbought/oversold signal. RAVM treats those zones as contextual factors that contribute only a partial portion of the final score, alongside geometry, total volume expansion, buy/sell balance, and delta power.
• Volume Decomposition: Volume is decomposed into total, buy-side, sell-side, and delta components. Each of these is normalized with a Z-Score over a shared statistical window, so RSI geometry and volume live in the same statistical context.
• Educational Scoring Pipeline: RAVM builds a 0–100 "Quantum Score" for each detected setup. The score expresses how strong the story is across four dimensions: geometry (RSI angle-of-turn), total volume expansion, which side is driving that volume (buyers vs. sellers), and the power of delta. The score is designed for learning and weighting, not for mechanical trade entries.
• VSA Matrix Engine: A 5×5 matrix combines momentum states and volume dynamics. Each cell corresponds to an interpreted VSA-style scenario (Absorption, Distribution, No Demand, Stopping Volume, Strong Reversal, etc.), shown both as text and as a heatmap dashboard on the chart.
How RAVM Works
1. RSI Context & Geometry
RAVM starts with a classic RSI, but it does not stop at simple level checks. It computes the velocity and acceleration of RSI and normalizes them via a Z-Score to produce an Angle-of-Turn metric (Z-AoT). This Z-AoT is then mapped into a 0–1 intensity value called MSI (Momentum Shift Intensity).
The script monitors both classic RSI zones (around 30 and 70) and geometric triggers. Entering the lower or upper zone is treated as a contextual event only. A setup becomes "confirmed" when a significant geometric turn is detected (based on Z-AoT thresholds). Otherwise, the bar is at most a warning.
2. Volume & Statistical Engine
The volume engine can work in two modes: a geometric approximation (based on candle structure) or a more precise intrabar mode using up/down volume requests. In both cases, RAVM builds a volume packet consisting of:
• Total volume
• Buy-side volume
• Sell-side volume
• Delta (buy – sell)
Each of these series is normalized using a Z-Score over the same statistical window that is used for RSI geometry. This allows RAVM to answer questions such as: Is total volume exceptional on this bar? Is the expansion mostly coming from buyers or from sellers? Is delta unusually strong or weak compared to recent history?
3. Scoring System (Quantum Score)
For each bar where a setup is active, RAVM computes a 0–100 score intended as an educational confidence measure. The scoring pipeline follows this sequence:
A. RSI Geometry (MSI): Measures the strength of the RSI angle-of-turn via Z-AoT. This has geometric primacy over simple level checks.
B. RSI Zone Context: Being below 30 or above 70 contributes only a partial bonus to the score, reflecting the idea that these zones are context, not automatic signals. Mildly supportive zones (e.g., RSI below 50 for bullish contexts) can also contribute with lower weight.
C. Total Volume Expansion: A normalized Volume Power term expresses how exceptional the total volume is relative to its recent distribution. If there is no meaningful volume expansion, the score remains modest even if RSI geometry looks interesting.
D. Which Side Is Driving the Volume: RAVM then checks whether the expansion is primarily on the buy side or the sell side, using Z-Score statistics for buy and sell volume separately. This stage does not yet rely on delta as a power metric; it simply answers the question: "Is this expansion mostly driven by buyers, sellers, or both?"
E. Delta as Final Power: Only at the final stage does the script bring in delta and its Z-Score as a measure of how one-sided the pressure really is. A strong negative delta during a bullish context, for example, can highlight absorption, while a strong positive delta against a bearish context can highlight distribution or a buying climax.
If a setup is not geometrically confirmed (for example, a simple entry into RSI 30/70 without a strong geometric turn), RAVM caps the final score below 50%. This "Geometric Veto" enforces the idea that RSI geometry must confirm before a scenario can be considered high-confidence.
4. Overlay UI & Smart Labels
RAVM is an overlay indicator: all information is drawn directly on the price chart, not in a separate pane. When a setup is active, a smart label is attached to the bar, together with a vertical connector line. Each label shows:
• Direction of the setup (bullish or bearish)
• Trigger type (classic OS/OB vs. geometric/hidden)
• Status (warning vs. confirmed)
• Quantum Score as a percentage
Confirmed setups use stronger colors and solid connectors, while warnings use softer colors and dotted connectors. The script also manages label placement to avoid overlap, keeping the chart clean and readable.
In addition to labels, a dashboard table is drawn on the chart. It displays the currently active matrix scenario, the dominant bias, a short textual interpretation, the full 5×5 heatmap, and summary metrics such as RSI, MSI, and Volume Power.
RSI Is Not Just 30 and 70
One of the central design decisions in RAVM is to treat RSI 30 and 70 as context, not as fixed buy/sell buttons. Many traders mechanically assume that RSI below 30 means "buy" and RSI above 70 means "sell". RAVM explicitly rejects this simplification.
Instead, the script asks a series of deeper questions: How sharp is the angle-of-turn of RSI right now? Is total volume expanding or contracting? Is that expansion dominated by buyers or sellers? Is delta confirming the move, or is there a hidden absorption or distribution taking place?
In the scoring logic, being in a lower or upper RSI zone contributes only part of the final score. Geometry, volume expansion, the buy/sell split, and delta power all have to align before a high-confidence scenario emerges. This makes RAVM much closer to a structured market-reading tool than a classic overbought/oversold indicator.
Matrix User Manual – Reading the 5×5 Grid
The heart of RAVM is its 5×5 matrix, where the vertical axis represents momentum states (M1–M5) and the horizontal axis represents volume dynamics (V1–V5). Each cell in this grid corresponds to a VSA-style scenario. The dashboard highlights the currently active cell and prints a textual description so you can read the story at a glance.
1. Confirmation Scenarios
These scenarios occur when momentum direction and volume expansion are aligned:
• Bullish Confirmation / Strong Reversal: Momentum is shifting strongly upward (often from a depressed RSI context), and expanded volume is driven mainly by buyers. Often seen as a strong bullish reversal or continuation signal from a VSA perspective.
• Bearish Confirmation / Strong Drop: Momentum is turning decisively downward, and expanded volume is driven mainly by sellers. This maps to strong bearish continuation or sharp reversal patterns.
2. Absorption & Stopping Volume
• Absorption: Total volume expands, but the dominant flow is opposite to the recent price move or the geometric bias. For example, heavy selling volume while the geometric context is bullish. This can indicate smart money quietly absorbing orders from the crowd.
• Stopping Volume: Exceptionally high volume appears near the end of an extended move, while momentum begins to decelerate. Price may still print new extremes, but the effort vs. result relationship signals potential exhaustion and the possibility of a turn.
3. Distribution & Buying Climax
• Distribution: Heavy buying volume appears within a bearish or topping context. Rather than healthy accumulation, this often represents larger players offloading inventory to late buyers. The matrix will typically flag this as a bearish-leaning scenario despite strong upside prints.
• Buying Climax: A surge of buy-side volume near the end of a strong uptrend, with momentum starting to weaken. From a VSA point of view, this is often the last push where retail aggressively buys what smart money is selling.
4. No Demand & No Supply
• No Demand: Price attempts to rise but does so on low, non-expansive volume. The market is not interested in following the move, and the lack of participation often precedes weakness or sideways action.
• No Supply: Price tries to push lower on thin volume. Selling pressure is limited, and the lack of supply can precede stabilization or recovery if buyers step back in.
5. Trend Exhaustion
• Uptrend Exhaustion: Momentum remains nominally bullish, but the quality of volume deteriorates (e.g., more effort, less net result). The matrix marks this as an uptrend losing internal strength, often after a series of aggressive moves.
• Downtrend Exhaustion: Similar logic in the opposite direction: strong prior downtrend, but increasingly inefficient downside progress relative to the volume invested. This can precede accumulation or a relief rally.
6. Effort vs. Result Scenarios
• Bullish Effort, Little Result: Buyers invest notable volume, but price progress is limited. This may reveal hidden selling into strength or a lack of follow-through from the broader market.
• Bearish Effort, Little Result: Sellers push volume, but price does not decline proportionally. This can indicate absorption of selling pressure and potential underlying demand.
7. Neutral, Churn & Thin Markets
• Neutral / Thin Market: Momentum and volume both remain muted. RAVM marks these as neutral cells where aggressive decision-making is usually less attractive and observing the broader structure is more important.
• High Volume Churn / Volatility: Both sides are active with high volume but limited directional progress. This can correspond to battle zones, local ranges, or high volatility rotations where the main message is conflict rather than clear trend.
Inputs & Options
RAVM includes several input groups to adapt the tool to your preferences:
• Localization: Multiple language options for all labels and dashboard text (e.g., English, Farsi, Turkish, Russian).
• RSI Core Settings: RSI length, source, and upper/lower contextual zones (typically around 30 and 70).
• Geometric Engine: Z-AoT sigma thresholds, confirmation ratios, and normalization window multiplier. These control how sensitive the script is to RSI angle-of-turn events.
• Volume Engine: Choice between geometric approximation and intrabar up/down volume, Z-Score thresholds for volume expansion, and related parameters.
• Visual Interface: Toggles for smart labels, dashboard table, font sizes, dashboard position, and color themes for bullish, bearish, and warning states.

EGX30 Advance/Decline Line
📈 EGX30 Advance/Decline Line Indicator: Overview and Usage
The EGX30 Advance/Decline Line indicator is a comprehensive tool designed to analyze the market breadth and sentiment of the EGX30 index by aggregating and visualizing statistics from its 29 component stocks. It goes beyond simple price action to provide deeper insights into the underlying strength or weakness of the index's movers.
This script allows users to select from five primary metrics and includes advanced features like automatic parameter configuration based on the chart's timeframe and a detailed information table summarizing the day's market activity.
Key Features and Available Metrics
You can select one of the following primary metrics from the 'Select Metric' dropdown menu:
1. Advance/Decline Line (A/D Line):
Plots the cumulative total of Net Advances (Advancing Issues - Declining Issues).
It is used to confirm the index's trend or warn of divergences, where the index is rising but the A/D line is falling (suggesting fewer stocks are participating in the rally).
Includes a Zero Line and a configurable Simple Moving Average (SMA).
2. McClellan Oscillator (MCC):
A breadth oscillator based on the difference between two Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) of the Advance/Decline Ratio.
It measures the speed and direction of market breadth momentum.
Includes a Buy Climax (0.1) and Sell Climax (-0.1) dotted lines to identify overbought/oversold conditions.
3. Arms Index (TRIN - TRading INdex):
A volume-based oscillator that compares the ratio of Advancing Issues/Declining Issues to the ratio of Advancing Volume/Declining Volume.
A reading above 1.0 (Neutral Level) suggests selling pressure (Declining Volume is relatively high), while a reading below 1.0 suggests buying pressure (Advancing Volume is relatively high).
Includes a Neutral Level (1.0) and Upper/Lower Bands based on Standard Deviation to identify Overbought/Oversold extremes.
4. Total Volume:
Plots the aggregated total volume for all 29 EGX30 component stocks.
Includes a SMA for trend comparison.

Mode-specific statistics like Total Volume/Liquidity or Advancing/Declining Volume.
VMDM - Volume, Momentum & Divergence Master [BullByte]VMDM - Volume, Momentum and Divergence Master
Educational Multi-Layer Market Structure Analysis System
Multi-factor divergence engine that scores RSI momentum, volume pressure, and institutional footprints into one non-repainting confluence rating (0-100).
WHAT THIS INDICATOR IS
VMDM is an educational indicator designed to teach traders how to recognize high-probability reversal and continuation patterns by analyzing four independent market dimensions simultaneously. Instead of relying on a single indicator that may produce frequent false signals, VMDM creates a confluence-based scoring system that weights multiple confirmation factors, helping you understand which setups have stronger technical backing and which are lower quality.
This is NOT a trading system or signal generator. It is a learning tool that visualizes complex market structure concepts in an accessible format for both coders and non-coders.
THE PROBLEM IT SOLVES
Most traders face these common challenges:
Challenge 1 - Indicator Overload: Running RSI, volume analysis, and divergence detection separately creates chart clutter and conflicting signals. You waste time cross-referencing multiple windows trying to determine if all factors align.
Challenge 2 - False Divergences: Standard divergence indicators trigger on every minor pivot, creating noise. Many divergences fail because they lack supporting evidence from volume or market structure.
Challenge 3 - Missed Context: A bullish RSI divergence means nothing if it occurs during weak volume or in the middle of strong distribution. Context determines quality.
Challenge 4 - Repainting Confusion: Many divergence scripts repaint, showing perfect historical signals that never actually triggered in real-time, leading to false confidence.
Challenge 5 - Institutional Pattern Recognition: Absorption zones, stop hunts, and exhaustion patterns are taught in trading education but difficult to identify systematically without manual analysis.
VMDM addresses all five challenges by combining complementary analytical layers into one transparent, non-repainting, confluence-weighted system with visual clarity.
WHY THIS SPECIFIC COMBINATION - MASHUP JUSTIFICATION
This indicator is NOT a random mashup of popular indicators. Each of the four layers serves a specific analytical purpose and together they create a complete market structure assessment framework.
THE FOUR ANALYTICAL LAYERS
LAYER 1 - RSI MOMENTUM DIVERGENCE (Trend Exhaustion Detection)
Purpose: Identifies when price momentum is weakening before price itself reverses.
Why RSI: The Relative Strength Index measures momentum on a bounded 0-100 scale, making divergence detection mathematically consistent across all assets and timeframes. Unlike raw price oscillators, RSI normalizes momentum regardless of volatility regime.
How It Contributes: Divergence between price pivots and RSI pivots reveals early momentum exhaustion. A lower price low with a higher RSI low (bullish regular divergence) signals sellers are losing strength even as price makes new lows. This is the PRIMARY signal generator in VMDM.
Limitation If Used Alone: RSI divergence by itself produces many false signals because momentum can remain weak during continued trends. It needs confirmation from volume and structural evidence.
LAYER 2 - VOLUME PRESSURE ANALYSIS (Buying vs Selling Intensity)
Purpose: Quantifies whether the current bar's volume reflects buying pressure or selling pressure based on where price closed within the bar's range.
Methodology: Instead of just measuring volume size, VMDM calculates WHERE in the bar range the close occurred. A close near the high on high volume indicates strong buying absorption. A close near the low indicates selling pressure. The calculation accounts for wick size (wicks reduce pressure quality) and uses percentile ranking over a lookback period to normalize pressure strength on a 0-100 scale.
Formula Concept:
Buy Pressure = Volume × (Close - Low) / (High - Low) × Wick Quality Factor
Sell Pressure = Volume × (High - Close) / (High - Low) × Wick Quality Factor
Net Pressure = Buy Pressure - Sell Pressure
Pressure Strength = Percentile Rank of Net Pressure over lookback period
Why Percentile Ranking: Absolute volume varies by asset and session. Percentile ranking makes 85th percentile pressure on low-volume crypto comparable to 85th percentile pressure on high-volume forex.
How It Contributes: When a bullish divergence occurs at a pivot low AND pressure strength is above 60 (strong buying), this adds 25 confluence points. It confirms that the divergence is occurring during actual accumulation, not just weak selling.
Limitation If Used Alone: Pressure analysis shows current bar intensity but cannot identify trend exhaustion or reversal timing. High buying pressure can exist during a strong uptrend with no reversal imminent.
LAYER 3 - BEHAVIORAL FOOTPRINT PATTERNS (Volume Anomaly Detection)
CRITICAL DISCLAIMER: The terms "institutional footprint," "absorption," "stop hunt," and "exhaustion" used in this indicator are EDUCATIONAL LABELS for specific price and volume behavioral patterns. These patterns are detected through technical analysis of publicly available price, volume, and bar structure data. This indicator does NOT have access to actual institutional order flow, market maker data, broker stop-loss locations, or any non-public data source. These pattern names are used because they are common terminology in trading education to describe these technical behaviors. The analysis is interpretive and based on observable price action, not privileged information.
Purpose: Detect volume anomalies and price patterns that historically correlate with potential reversal zones or trend continuation failure.
Pattern Type 1 - Absorption (Labeled as "ACCUMULATION" or "DISTRIBUTION")
Detection Criteria: Volume is more than 2x the moving average AND bar range is less than 50 percent of the average bar range.
Interpretation: High volume compressed into a tight range suggests large participants are absorbing supply (accumulation) or distribution (distribution) without allowing price to move significantly. This often precedes directional moves once absorption completes.
Visual: Colored box zone highlighting the absorption area.
Pattern Type 2 - Stop Hunt (Labeled as "BULL HUNT" or "BEAR HUNT")
Detection Criteria: Price penetrates a recent 10-bar high or low by a small margin (0.2 percent), then closes back inside the range on above-average volume (1.5x+).
Interpretation: Price briefly spikes beyond recent structure (likely triggering stop losses placed just beyond obvious levels) then reverses. This is a classic false breakout pattern often seen before reversals.
Visual: Label at the wick extreme showing hunt direction.
Pattern Type 3 - Exhaustion (Labeled as "SELL EXHAUST" or "BUY EXHAUST")
Detection Criteria: Lower wick is more than 2.5x the body size with volume above 1.8x average and RSI below 35 (sell exhaustion), OR upper wick more than 2.5x body size with volume above 1.8x average and RSI above 65 (buy exhaustion).
Interpretation: Large wicks with high volume and extreme RSI suggest aggressive buying or selling was met with equally aggressive rejection. This exhaustion often marks short-term extremes.
Visual: Label showing exhaustion type.
How These Contribute: When a divergence forms at a pivot AND one of these behavioral patterns is active, the confluence score increases by 20 points. This confirms the divergence is occurring during structural anomaly activity, not just normal price flow.
Limitation If Used Alone: These patterns can occur mid-trend and do not indicate direction without momentum context. Absorption in a strong uptrend may just be continuation accumulation.
LAYER 4 - CONFLUENCE SCORING MATRIX (Quality Weighting System)
Purpose: Translate all detected conditions into a single 0-100 quality score so you can objectively compare setups.
Scoring Breakdown:
Divergence Present: +30 points (primary signal)
Pressure Confirmation: +25 points (volume supports direction)
Behavioral Footprint Active: +20 points (structural anomaly present)
RSI Extreme: +15 points (RSI below 30 or above 70 at pivot)
Volume Spike: +10 points (current volume above 1.5x average)
Maximum Possible Score: 100 points
Why These Weights: The weights reflect reliability hierarchy based on backtesting observation. Divergence is the core signal (30 points), but without volume confirmation (25 points) many fail. Behavioral patterns add meaningful context (20 points). RSI extremes and volume spikes are secondary confirmations (15 and 10 points).
Quality Tiers:
90-100: TEXTBOOK (all factors aligned)
75-89: HIGH QUALITY (strong confluence)
60-74: VALID (meets minimum threshold)
Below 60: DEVELOPING (not displayed unless threshold lowered)
How It Contributes: The confluence score allows you to filter noise. You can set your minimum quality threshold in settings. Higher thresholds (75+) show fewer but higher-quality patterns. Lower thresholds (50-60) show more patterns but include lower-confidence setups. This teaches you to distinguish strong setups from weak ones.
Limitation: Confluence scoring is historical observation-based, not predictive guarantee. A 95-point setup can still fail. The score represents technical alignment, not future certainty.
WHY THIS COMBINATION WORKS TOGETHER
Each layer addresses a limitation in the others:
RSI Divergence identifies WHEN momentum is exhausting (timing)
Volume Pressure confirms WHETHER the exhaustion is accompanied by opposite-side accumulation (confirmation)
Behavioral Footprint shows IF structural anomalies support the reversal hypothesis (context)
Confluence Scoring weights ALL factors into an objective quality metric (filtering)
Using only RSI divergence gives you timing without confirmation. Using only volume pressure gives you intensity without directional context. Using only pattern detection gives you anomalies without trend exhaustion context. Using all four together creates a complete analytical framework where each layer compensates for the others' weaknesses.
This is not a mashup for the sake of combining indicators. It is a structured analytical system where each component has a defined role in a multi-dimensional market assessment process.
HOW TO READ THE INDICATOR - VISUAL ELEMENTS GUIDE
VMDM displays up to five visual layer types. You can enable or disable each layer independently in settings under "Visual Layers."
VISUAL LAYER 1 - MARKET STRUCTURE (Pivot Points and Lines)
What You See:
Small labels at swing highs and lows marked "PH" (Pivot High) and "PL" (Pivot Low) with horizontal dashed lines extending right from each pivot.
What It Means:
These are CONFIRMED pivots, not real-time. A pivot low appears AFTER the required right-side confirmation bars pass (default 3 bars). This creates a delay but prevents repainting. The pivot only appears once it is mathematically confirmed.
The horizontal lines represent support (from pivot lows) and resistance (from pivot highs) levels where price previously found significant rejection.
Color Coding:
Green label and line: Pivot Low (potential support)
Red label and line: Pivot High (potential resistance)
How To Use:
These pivots are the foundation for divergence detection. Divergence is only calculated between confirmed pivots, ensuring all signals are non-repainting. The lines help you see historical structure levels.
VISUAL LAYER 2 - PRESSURE ZONES (Background Color)
What You See:
Subtle background color shading on bars - light green or light red tint.
What It Means:
This visualizes volume pressure strength in real-time.
Color Coding:
Light Green Background: Pressure Strength above 70 (strong buying pressure - price closing near highs on volume)
Light Red Background: Pressure Strength below 30 (strong selling pressure - price closing near lows on volume)
No Color: Neutral pressure (pressure between 30-70)
How To Use:
When a bullish divergence pattern appears during green pressure zones, it suggests the divergence is forming during accumulation. When a bearish divergence appears during red zones, distribution is occurring. Pressure zones help you filter divergences - those forming in supportive pressure environments have higher probability.
VISUAL LAYER 3 - DIVERGENCE LINES (Dotted Connectors)
What You See:
Dotted lines connecting two pivot points (either two pivot lows or two pivot highs).
What It Means:
A divergence has been detected between those two pivots. The line connects the price pivots where RSI showed opposite behavior.
Color Coding:
Bright Green Line: Bullish divergence (regular or hidden)
Bright Red Line: Bearish divergence (regular or hidden)
How To Use:
The divergence line appears ONLY after the second pivot is confirmed (delayed by right-side confirmation bars). This is intentional to prevent repainting. When you see the line appear, it means:
For Bullish Regular Divergence:
Price made a lower low (second pivot lower than first)
RSI made a higher low (RSI at second pivot higher than first)
Interpretation: Downtrend losing momentum
For Bullish Hidden Divergence:
Price made a higher low (second pivot higher than first)
RSI made a lower low (RSI at second pivot lower than first)
Interpretation: Uptrend continuation likely (pullback within uptrend)
For Bearish Regular Divergence:
Price made a higher high (second pivot higher than first)
RSI made a lower high (RSI at second pivot lower than first)
Interpretation: Uptrend losing momentum
For Bearish Hidden Divergence:
Price made a lower high (second pivot lower than first)
RSI made a higher high (RSI at second pivot higher than first)
Interpretation: Downtrend continuation likely (bounce within downtrend)
If "Show Consolidated Analysis Label" is disabled, a small label will appear on the divergence line showing the divergence type abbreviation.
VISUAL LAYER 4 - BEHAVIORAL FOOTPRINT MARKERS
What You See:
Boxes, labels, and markers at specific bars showing pattern detection.
ABSORPTION ZONES (Boxes):
Colored rectangular boxes spanning one or more bars.
Purple Box: Accumulation absorption zone (high volume, tight range, bullish close)
Red Box: Distribution absorption zone (high volume, tight range, bearish close)
If absorption continues for multiple consecutive bars, the box extends and a counter appears in the label showing how many bars the absorption lasted.
What It Means: Large volume is being absorbed without significant price movement. This often precedes directional breakouts once the absorption phase completes.
STOP HUNT MARKERS (Labels):
Small labels below or above wicks labeled "BULL HUNT" or "BEAR HUNT" (may show bar count if consecutive).
What It Means:
BULL HUNT : Price spiked below recent lows then reversed back up on volume - likely triggered sell stops before reversing
BEAR HUNT : Price spiked above recent highs then reversed back down on volume - likely triggered buy stops before reversing
EXHAUSTION MARKERS (Labels):
Labels showing "SELL EXHAUST" or "BUY EXHAUST."
What It Means:
SELL EXHAUST : Large lower wick with high volume and low RSI - aggressive selling met with strong rejection
BUY EXHAUST : Large upper wick with high volume and high RSI - aggressive buying met with strong rejection
How To Use:
These markers help you identify WHERE structural anomalies occurred. When a divergence signal appears AT THE SAME TIME as one of these patterns, the confluence score increases. You are looking for alignment - divergence + behavioral pattern + pressure confirmation = high-quality setup.
VISUAL LAYER 5 - CONSOLIDATED ANALYSIS LABEL (Main Pattern Signal)
What You See:
A large label appearing at pivot points (or in real-time mode, at current bar) containing full pattern analysis.
Label Appearance:
Depending on your "Use Compact Label Format" setting:
COMPACT MODE (Single Line):
Example: "BULLISH REGULAR | Q:HIGH QUALITY C:82"
Breakdown:
BULLISH REGULAR: Divergence type detected
Q:HIGH QUALITY: Pattern quality tier
C:82: Confluence score (82 out of 100)
FULL MODE (Multi-Line Detailed):
Example:
PATTERN DETECTED
-------------------
BULLISH REGULAR
Quality: HIGH QUALITY
Price: Lower Low
Momentum: Higher Low
Signal: Weakening Downtrend
CONFLUENCE: 82/100
-------------------
Divergence: 30
Pressure: 25
Institutional: 20
RSI Extreme: 0
Volume: 10
Breakdown:
Top section: Pattern type and quality
Middle section: Divergence explanation (what price did vs what RSI did)
Bottom section: Confluence score with itemized breakdown showing which factors contributed
Label Position:
In Confirmed modes: Label appears AT the pivot point (delayed by confirmation bars)
In Real-time mode: Label appears at current bar as conditions develop
Label Color:
Gold: Textbook quality (90+ confluence)
Green: High quality (75-89 confluence)
Blue: Valid quality (60-74 confluence)
How To Use:
This is your primary decision-making label. When it appears:
Check the divergence type (regular divergences are reversal signals, hidden divergences are continuation signals)
Review the quality tier (textbook and high quality have better historical win rates)
Examine the confluence breakdown to see which factors are present and which are missing
Look at the chart context (trend, support/resistance, timeframe)
Use this information to assess whether the setup aligns with your strategy
The label does NOT tell you to buy or sell. It tells you a technical pattern has formed and provides the quality assessment. Your trading decision must incorporate risk management, market context, and your strategy rules.
UNDERSTANDING THE THREE DETECTION MODES
VMDM offers three signal detection modes in settings to accommodate different trading styles and learning objectives.
MODE 1: "Confluence Only (Real-Time)"
How It Works: Displays signals AS THEY DEVELOP on the current bar without waiting for pivot confirmation. The system calculates confluence score from pressure, volume, RSI extremes, and behavioral patterns. Divergence signals are NOT required in this mode.
Delay: ZERO - signals appear immediately.
Use Case: Real-time scanning for high-confluence zones without divergence requirement. Useful for intraday traders who want immediate alerts when multiple factors align.
Tradeoff: More frequent signals but includes setups without confirmed divergence. Higher false signal rate. Signals can change as the bar develops (not repainting in historical bars, but current bar updates).
Visual Behavior: Labels appear at the current bar. No divergence lines unless divergence happens to be present.
MODE 2: "Divergence + Confluence (Confirmed)" - DEFAULT RECOMMENDED
How It Works: Full system engagement. Signals appear ONLY when:
A pivot is confirmed (requires right-side confirmation bars to pass)
Divergence is detected between current pivot and previous pivot
Total confluence score meets or exceeds your minimum threshold
Delay: Equal to your "Pivot Right Bars" setting (default 3 bars). This means signals appear 3 bars AFTER the actual pivot formed.
Use Case: Highest-quality, non-repainting signals for swing traders and learners who want to study confirmed pattern completion.
Tradeoff: Delayed signals. You will not receive the signal until confirmation occurs. In fast-moving markets, price may have already moved significantly by the time the signal appears.
Visual Behavior: Labels appear at the historical pivot location (in the past). Divergence lines connect the two pivots. This is the most educational mode because it shows completed, confirmed patterns.
Non-Repainting Guarantee: Yes. Once a signal appears, it never disappears or changes.
MODE 3: "Divergence + Confluence (Relaxed)"
How It Works: Same as Confirmed mode but with adaptive thresholds. If confluence is very high (10 points above threshold), the signal may appear even if some factors are weak. If divergence is present but confluence is slightly below threshold (within 10 points), it may still appear.
Delay: Same as Confirmed mode (right-side confirmation bars).
Use Case: Slightly more signals than Confirmed mode for traders willing to accept near-threshold setups.
Tradeoff: More signals but lower average quality than Confirmed mode.
Visual Behavior: Same as Confirmed mode.
DASHBOARD GUIDE - READING THE METRICS
The dashboard appears in the corner of your chart (position selectable in settings) and provides real-time market state analysis.
You can choose between four dashboard detail levels in settings: Off, Compact, Optimized (default), Full.
DASHBOARD ROW EXPLANATIONS
ROW 1 - Header Information
Left: Current symbol and timeframe
Center: "VMDM "
Right: Version number
ROW 2 - Mode and Delay
Shows which detection mode you are using and the signal delay.
Example: "CONFIRMED | Delay: 3 bars"
This reminds you that signals in confirmed mode appear 3 bars after the pivot forms.
ROW 3 - Market Regime
Format: "TREND UP HV" or "RANGING NV"
First Part - Trend State:
TREND UP: 20 EMA above 50 EMA with strong separation
TREND DOWN: 20 EMA below 50 EMA with strong separation
RANGING: EMAs close together, low trend strength
TRANSITION: Between trending and ranging states
Second Part - Volatility State:
HV: High Volatility (current ATR more than 1.3x the 50-bar average ATR)
NV: Normal Volatility (current ATR between 0.7x and 1.3x average)
LV: Low Volatility (current ATR less than 0.7x average)
Third Column: Volatility ratio (example: "1.45x" means current ATR is 1.45 times normal)
How To Use: Regime context helps you interpret signals. Reversal divergences are more reliable in ranging or transitional regimes. Continuation divergences (hidden) are more reliable in trending regimes. High volatility means wider stops may be needed.
ROW 4 - Pressure
Shows current volume pressure state.
Format: "BUYING | ██████████░░░░░░░░░"
States:
BUYING : Pressure strength above 60 (closes near highs)
SELLING : Pressure strength below 40 (closes near lows)
NEUTRAL : Pressure strength between 40-60
Bar Visualization: Each block represents 10 percentile points. A full bar (10 filled blocks) = 100th percentile pressure.
Color: Green for buying, red for selling, gray for neutral.
How To Use: When pressure aligns with divergence direction (bullish divergence during buying pressure), confluence is stronger.
ROW 5 - Volume and RSI
Format: "1.8x | RSI 68 | OB"
First Value: Current volume ratio (1.8x = volume is 1.8 times the moving average)
Second Value: Current RSI reading
Third Value: RSI state
OB: Overbought (RSI above 70)
OS: Oversold (RSI below 30)
Blank: Neutral RSI
How To Use: Volume spikes (above 1.5x) during divergence formation add confluence. RSI extremes at pivots add confluence.
ROW 6 - Behavioral Footprint
Format: "BULL HUNT | 2 bars"
Shows the most recent behavioral pattern detected and how long ago.
States:
ACCUMULATION / DISTRIBUTION: Absorption detected
BULL HUNT / BEAR HUNT: Stop hunt detected
SELL EXHAUST / BUY EXHAUST: Exhaustion detected
SCANNING: No recent pattern
NOW: Pattern is active on current bar
How To Use: When footprint activity is recent (within 50 bars) or active now, it adds context to divergence signals forming in that area.
ROW 7 - Current Pattern
Shows the divergence type currently detected (if any).
Examples: "BULLISH REGULAR", "BEARISH HIDDEN", "Scanning..."
Quality: Shows pattern quality (TEXTBOOK, HIGH QUALITY, VALID)
How To Use: This tells you what type of signal is active. Regular divergences are reversal setups. Hidden divergences are continuation setups.
ROW 8 - Session Summary
Format: "14 events | A3 H8 E3"
First Value: Total institutional events this session
Breakdown:
A: Absorption events
H: Stop hunt events
E: Exhaustion events
How To Use: High event counts suggest an active, volatile session with frequent structural anomalies. Low counts suggest quiet, orderly price action.
ROW 9 - Confluence Score (Optimized/Full mode only)
Format: "78/100 | ████████░░"
Shows current real-time confluence score even if no pattern is confirmed yet.
How To Use: Watch this in real-time to see how close you are to pattern formation. When it exceeds your threshold and divergence forms, a signal will appear (after confirmation delay).
ROW 10 - Patterns Studied (Optimized/Full mode only)
Format: "47 patterns | 12 bars ago"
First Value: Total confirmed patterns detected since chart loaded
Second Value: How many bars since the last confirmed pattern appeared
How To Use: Helps you understand pattern frequency on your selected symbol and timeframe. If many bars have passed since last pattern, market may be trending without reversal opportunities.
ROW 11 - Bull/Bear Ratio (Optimized/Full mode only)
Format: "28:19 | BULL"
Shows count of bullish vs bearish patterns detected.
Balance:
BULL: More bullish patterns detected (suggests market has had more bullish reversals/continuations)
BEAR: More bearish patterns detected
BAL: Equal counts
How To Use: Extreme imbalances can indicate directional bias in the studied period. A heavily bullish ratio in a downtrend might suggest frequent failed rallies (bearish continuation). Context matters.
ROW 12 - Volume Ratio Detail (Optimized/Full mode only)
Shows current volume vs average volume in absolute terms.
Example: "1.4x | 45230 / 32300"
How To Use: Confirms whether current activity is above or below normal.
ROW 13 - Last Institutional Event (Full mode only)
Shows the most recent institutional pattern type and how many bars ago it occurred.
Example: "DISTRIBUTION | 23 bars"
How To Use: Tracks recency of last anomaly for context.
SETTINGS GUIDE - EVERY PARAMETER EXPLAINED
PERFORMANCE SECTION
Enable All Visuals (Master Toggle)
Default: ON
What It Does: Master kill switch for ALL visual elements (labels, lines, boxes, background colors, dashboard). When OFF, only plot outputs remain (invisible unless you open data window).
When To Change: Turn OFF on mobile devices, 1-second charts, or slow computers to improve performance. You can still receive alerts even with visuals disabled.
Impact: Dramatic performance improvement when OFF, but you lose all visual feedback.
Maximum Object History
Default: 50 | Range: 10-100
What It Does: Limits how many of each object type (labels, lines, boxes) are kept in memory. Older objects beyond this limit are deleted.
When To Change: Lower to 20-30 on fast timeframes (1-minute charts) to prevent slowdown. Increase to 100 on daily charts if you want more historical pattern visibility.
Impact: Lower values = better performance but less historical visibility. Higher values = more history visible but potential slowdown on fast timeframes.
Alert Cooldown (Bars)
Default: 5 | Range: 1-50
What It Does: Minimum number of bars that must pass before another alert of the same type can fire. Prevents alert spam when multiple patterns form in quick succession.
When To Change: Increase to 20+ on 1-minute charts to reduce noise. Decrease to 1-2 on daily charts if you want every pattern alerted.
Impact: Higher cooldown = fewer alerts. Lower cooldown = more alerts.
USER EXPERIENCE SECTION
Show Enhanced Tooltips
Default: ON
What It Does: Enables detailed hover-over tooltips on labels and visual elements.
When To Change: Turn OFF if you encounter Pine Script compilation errors related to tooltip arguments (rare, platform-specific issue).
Impact: Minimal. Just adds helpful hover text.
MARKET STRUCTURE DETECTION SECTION
Pivot Left Bars
Default: 3 | Range: 2-10
What It Does: Number of bars to the LEFT of the center bar that must be higher (for pivot low) or lower (for pivot high) than the center bar for a pivot to be valid.
Example: With value 3, a pivot low requires the center bar's low to be lower than the 3 bars to its left.
When To Change:
Increase to 5-7 on noisy timeframes (1-minute charts) to filter insignificant pivots
Decrease to 2 on slow timeframes (daily charts) to catch more pivots
Impact: Higher values = fewer, more significant pivots = fewer signals. Lower values = more frequent pivots = more signals but more noise.
Pivot Right Bars
Default: 3 | Range: 2-10
What It Does: Number of bars to the RIGHT of the center bar that must pass for confirmation. This creates the non-repainting delay.
Example: With value 3, a pivot is confirmed 3 bars AFTER it forms.
When To Change:
Increase to 5-7 for slower, more confirmed signals (better for swing trading)
Decrease to 2 for faster signals (better for intraday, but still non-repainting)
Impact: Higher values = longer delay but more reliable confirmation. Lower values = faster signals but less confirmation. This setting directly controls your signal delay in Confirmed and Relaxed modes.
Minimum Confluence Score
Default: 60 | Range: 40-95
What It Does: The threshold score required for a pattern to be displayed. Patterns with confluence scores below this threshold are not shown.
When To Change:
Increase to 75+ if you only want high-quality textbook setups (fewer signals)
Decrease to 50-55 if you want to see more developing patterns (more signals, lower average quality)
Impact: This is your primary signal filter. Higher threshold = fewer, higher-quality signals. Lower threshold = more signals but includes weaker setups. Recommended starting point is 60-65.
TECHNICAL PERIODS SECTION
RSI Period
Default: 14 | Range: 5-50
What It Does: Lookback period for RSI calculation.
When To Change:
Decrease to 9-10 for faster, more sensitive RSI that detects shorter-term momentum changes
Increase to 21-28 for slower, smoother RSI that filters noise
Impact: Lower values make RSI more volatile (more frequent extremes and divergences). Higher values make RSI smoother (fewer but more significant divergences). 14 is industry standard.
Volume Moving Average Period
Default: 20 | Range: 10-200
What It Does: Lookback period for calculating average volume. Current volume is compared to this average to determine volume ratio.
When To Change:
Decrease to 10-14 for shorter-term volume comparison (more sensitive to recent volume changes)
Increase to 50-100 for longer-term volume comparison (smoother, less sensitive)
Impact: Lower values make volume ratio more volatile. Higher values make it more stable. 20 is standard.
ATR Period
Default: 14 | Range: 5-100
What It Does: Lookback period for Average True Range calculation used for volatility measurement and label positioning.
When To Change: Rarely needs adjustment. Use 7-10 for faster volatility response, 21-28 for slower.
Impact: Affects volatility ratio calculation and visual label spacing. Minimal impact on signals.
Pressure Percentile Lookback
Default: 50 | Range: 10-300
What It Does: Lookback period for calculating volume pressure percentile ranking. Your current pressure is ranked against the pressure of the last X bars.
When To Change:
Decrease to 20-30 for shorter-term pressure context (more responsive to recent changes)
Increase to 100-200 for longer-term pressure context (smoother rankings)
Impact: Lower values make pressure strength more sensitive to recent bars. Higher values provide more stable, long-term pressure assessment. Capped at 300 for performance reasons.
SIGNAL DETECTION SECTION
Signal Detection Mode
Default: "Divergence + Confluence (Confirmed)"
Options:
Confluence Only (Real-time)
Divergence + Confluence (Confirmed)
Divergence + Confluence (Relaxed)
What It Does: Selects which detection logic mode to use (see "Understanding The Three Detection Modes" section above).
When To Change: Use Confirmed for learning and non-repainting signals. Use Real-time for live scanning without divergence requirement. Use Relaxed for slightly more signals than Confirmed.
Impact: Fundamentally changes when and how signals appear.
VISUAL LAYERS SECTION
All toggles default to ON. Each controls visibility of one visual layer:
Show Market Structure: Pivot markers and support/resistance lines
Show Pressure Zones: Background color shading
Show Divergence Lines: Dotted lines connecting pivots
Show Institutional Footprint Markers: Absorption boxes, hunt labels, exhaustion labels
Show Consolidated Analysis Label: Main pattern detection label
Use Compact Label Format
Default: OFF
What It Does: Switches consolidated label between single-line compact format and multi-line detailed format.
When To Change: Turn ON if you find full labels too large or distracting.
Impact: Visual clarity vs. information density tradeoff.
DASHBOARD SECTION
Dashboard Mode
Default: "Optimized"
Options: Off, Compact, Optimized, Full
What It Does: Controls how much information the dashboard displays.
Off: No dashboard
Compact: 8 rows (essential metrics only)
Optimized: 12 rows (recommended balance)
Full: 13 rows (every available metric)
Dashboard Position
Default: "Top Right"
Options: Top Right, Top Left, Bottom Right, Bottom Left
What It Does: Screen corner where dashboard appears.
HOW TO USE VMDM - PRACTICAL WORKFLOW
STEP 1 - INITIAL SETUP
Add VMDM to your chart
Select your detection mode (Confirmed recommended for learning)
Set your minimum confluence score (start with 60-65)
Adjust pivot parameters if needed (default 3/3 is good for most timeframes)
Enable the visual layers you want to see
STEP 2 - CHART ANALYSIS
Let the indicator load and analyze historical data
Review the patterns that appear historically
Examine the confluence scores - notice which patterns had higher scores
Observe which patterns occurred during supportive pressure zones
Notice the divergence line connections - understand what price vs RSI did
STEP 3 - PATTERN RECOGNITION LEARNING
When a consolidated analysis label appears:
Read the divergence type (regular or hidden, bullish or bearish)
Check the quality tier (textbook, high quality, or valid)
Review the confluence breakdown - which factors contributed
Look at the chart context - where is price relative to structure, trend, etc.
Observe the behavioral footprint markers nearby - do they support the pattern
STEP 4 - REAL-TIME MONITORING
Watch the dashboard for real-time regime and pressure state
Monitor the current confluence score in the dashboard
When it approaches your threshold, be alert for potential pattern formation
When a new pattern appears (after confirmation delay), evaluate it using the workflow above
Use your trading strategy rules to decide if the setup aligns with your criteria
STEP 5 - POST-PATTERN OBSERVATION
After a pattern appears:
Mark the level on your chart
Observe what price does after the pattern completes
Did price respect the reversal/continuation signal
What was the confluence score of patterns that worked vs. those that failed
Learn which quality tiers and confluence levels produce better results on your specific symbol and timeframe
RECOMMENDED TIMEFRAMES AND ASSET CLASSES
VMDM is timeframe-agnostic and works on any asset with volume data. However, optimal performance varies:
BEST TIMEFRAMES
15-Minute to 1-Hour: Ideal balance of signal frequency and reliability. Pivot confirmation delay is acceptable. Sufficient volume data for pressure analysis.
4-Hour to Daily: Excellent for swing trading. Very high-quality signals. Lower frequency but higher significance. Recommended for learning because patterns are clearer.
1-Minute to 5-Minute: Works but requires adjustment. Increase pivot bars to 5-7 for filtering. Decrease max object history to 30 for performance. Expect more noise.
Weekly/Monthly: Works but very infrequent signals. Increase confluence threshold to 70+ to ensure only major patterns appear.
BEST ASSET CLASSES
Forex Majors: Excellent volume data and clear trends. Pressure analysis works well.
Crypto (Major Pairs): Good volume data. High volatility makes divergences more pronounced. Works very well.
Stock Indices (SPY, QQQ, etc.): Excellent. Clean price action and reliable volume.
Individual Stocks: Works well on high-volume stocks. Low-volume stocks may produce unreliable pressure readings.
Commodities (Gold, Oil, etc.): Works well. Clear trends and reactions.
WHAT THIS INDICATOR CANNOT DO - LIMITATIONS
LIMITATION 1 - It Does Not Predict The Future
VMDM identifies when technical conditions align historically associated with potential reversals or continuations. It does not predict what will happen next. A textbook 95-confluence pattern can still fail if fundamental events, news, or larger timeframe structure override the setup.
LIMITATION 2 - Confirmation Delay Means You Miss Early Entry
In Confirmed and Relaxed modes, the non-repainting design means you receive signals AFTER the pivot is confirmed. Price may have already moved significantly by the time you receive the signal. This is the tradeoff for non-repainting reliability. You can use Real-time mode for faster signals but sacrifice divergence confirmation.
LIMITATION 3 - It Does Not Tell You Position Sizing or Risk Management
VMDM provides technical pattern analysis. It does not calculate stop loss levels, take profit targets, or position sizing. You must apply your own risk management rules. Never risk more than you can afford to lose based on a technical signal.
LIMITATION 4 - Volume Pressure Analysis Requires Reliable Volume Data
On assets with thin volume or unreliable volume reporting, pressure analysis may be inaccurate. Stick to major liquid assets with consistent volume data.
LIMITATION 5 - It Cannot Detect Fundamental Events
VMDM is purely technical. It cannot predict earnings reports, central bank decisions, geopolitical events, or other fundamental catalysts that can override technical patterns.
LIMITATION 6 - Divergence Requires Two Pivots
The indicator cannot detect divergence until at least two pivots of the same type have formed. In strong trends without pullbacks, you may go long periods without signals.
LIMITATION 7 - Institutional Pattern Names Are Interpretive
The behavioral footprint patterns are named using common trading education terminology, but they are detected through technical analysis, not actual institutional data access. The patterns are interpretations based on price and volume behavior.
CONCEPT FOUNDATION - WHY THIS APPROACH WORKS
MARKET PRINCIPLE 1 - Momentum Divergence Precedes Price Reversal
Price is the final output of market forces, but momentum (the rate of change in those forces) shifts first. When price makes a new low but the momentum behind that move is weaker (higher RSI low), it signals that sellers are losing strength even though they temporarily pushed price lower. This precedes reversal. This is a fundamental principle in technical analysis taught by Charles Dow, widely observed in market behavior.
MARKET PRINCIPLE 2 - Volume Reveals Conviction
Price can move on low volume (low conviction) or high volume (high conviction). When price makes a new low on declining volume while RSI shows improving momentum, it suggests the new low is not confirmed by participant conviction. Adding volume pressure analysis to momentum divergence adds a confirmation layer that filters false divergences.
MARKET PRINCIPLE 3 - Anomalies Mark Structural Extremes
When volume spikes significantly but range contracts (absorption), or when price spikes beyond structure then reverses (stop hunt), or when aggressive moves are met with large-wick rejection (exhaustion), these anomalies often mark short-term extremes. Combining these structural observations with momentum analysis creates context.
MARKET PRINCIPLE 4 - Confluence Improves Probability
No single technical factor is reliable in isolation. RSI divergence alone fails frequently. Volume analysis alone cannot time entries. Combining multiple independent factors into a weighted system increases the probability that observed patterns have structural significance rather than random noise.
THE EDUCATIONAL VALUE
By visualizing all four layers simultaneously and breaking down the confluence scoring transparently, VMDM teaches you to think in terms of multi-dimensional analysis rather than single-indicator reliance. Over time, you will learn to recognize these patterns manually and understand which combinations produce better results on your traded assets.
INSTITUTIONAL TERMINOLOGY - IMPORTANT CLARIFICATION
This indicator uses the following terms that are common in trading education:
Institutional Footprint
Absorption (Accumulation / Distribution)
Stop Hunt
Exhaustion
CRITICAL DISCLAIMER:
These terms are EDUCATIONAL LABELS for specific price action and volume behavior patterns detected through technical analysis of publicly available chart data (open, high, low, close, volume). This indicator does NOT have access to:
Actual institutional order flow or order book data
Market maker positions or intentions
Broker stop-loss databases
Non-public trading data
Proprietary institutional information
The patterns labeled as "institutional footprint" are interpretations based on observable price and volume behavior that educational trading literature often associates with potential large-participant activity. The detection is algorithmic pattern recognition, not privileged data access.
When this indicator identifies "absorption," it means it detected high volume within a small range - a condition that MAY indicate large orders being filled but is not confirmation of actual institutional participation.
When it identifies a "stop hunt," it means price briefly penetrated a structural level then reversed - a pattern that MAY have triggered stop losses but is not confirmation that stops were specifically targeted.
When it identifies "exhaustion," it means high volume with large rejection wicks - a pattern that MAY indicate aggressive participation meeting strong opposition but is not confirmation of institutional involvement.
These are technical analysis interpretations, not factual statements about market participant identity or intent.
DISCLAIMER AND RISK WARNING
EDUCATIONAL PURPOSE ONLY
This indicator is designed as an educational tool to help traders learn to recognize technical patterns, understand multi-factor analysis, and practice systematic market observation. It is NOT a trading system, signal service, or financial advice.
NO PERFORMANCE GUARANTEE
Past pattern behavior does not guarantee future results. A pattern that historically preceded price movement in one direction may fail in the future due to changing market conditions, fundamental events, or random variance. Confluence scores reflect historical technical alignment, not future certainty.
TRADING INVOLVES SUBSTANTIAL RISK
Trading financial instruments involves substantial risk of loss. You can lose more than your initial investment. Never trade with money you cannot afford to lose. Always use proper risk management including stop losses, position sizing, and portfolio diversification.
NO PREDICTIVE CLAIMS
This indicator does NOT predict future price movement. It identifies when technical conditions align in patterns that historically have been associated with potential reversals or continuations. Market behavior is probabilistic, not deterministic.
BACKTESTING LIMITATIONS
If you backtest trading strategies using this indicator, ensure you account for:
Realistic commission costs
Realistic slippage (difference between signal price and actual fill price)
Sufficient sample size (minimum 100 trades for statistical relevance)
Reasonable position sizing (risking no more than 1-2 percent of account per trade)
The confirmation delay inherent in the indicator (you cannot enter at the exact pivot in Confirmed mode)
Backtests that do not account for these factors will produce unrealistic results.

NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE
Nothing in this indicator, its code, its description, or its visual outputs constitutes financial, investment, or trading advice. Consult a licensed financial advisor before making investment decisions.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: Why do signals appear in the past, not at the current bar
A: In Confirmed and Relaxed modes, signals appear at confirmed pivots, which requires waiting for right-side confirmation bars (default 3). This creates a delay but prevents repainting. Use Real-time mode if you want current-bar signals without pivot confirmation.
Q: Can I use this for automated trading
A: You can create alert-based automation, but understand that Confirmed mode signals appear AFTER the pivot with delay, so your entry will not be at the pivot price. Real-time mode signals can change as the current bar develops. Automation requires careful consideration of these factors.
Q: How do I know which confluence score to use
A: Start with 60. Observe which patterns work on your symbol/timeframe. If too many false signals, increase to 70-75. If too few signals, decrease to 55. Quality vs. quantity tradeoff.
Q: Do regular divergences mean I should enter a reversal trade immediately
A: No. Regular divergences indicate momentum exhaustion, which is a WARNING sign that trend may reverse, not a confirmation that it will. Use confluence score, market context, support/resistance, and your strategy rules to make entry decisions. Many divergences fail.
Q: What's the difference between regular and hidden divergence
A: Regular divergence = price and momentum move in opposite directions at extremes = potential reversal signal. Hidden divergence = price and momentum move in opposite directions during pullbacks = potential continuation signal. Hidden divergence suggests the pullback is just a correction within the larger trend.
Q: Why does the pressure zone color sometimes conflict with the divergence direction
A: Pressure is real-time current bar analysis. Divergence is confirmed pivot analysis from the past. They measure different things at different times. A bullish divergence confirmed 3 bars ago might appear during current selling pressure. This is normal.
Q: Can I use this on stocks without volume data
A: No. Volume is required for pressure analysis and behavioral pattern detection. Use only on assets with reliable volume reporting.
Q: How often should I expect signals
A: Depends on timeframe and settings. Daily charts might produce 5-10 signals per month. 1-hour charts might produce 20-30. 15-minute charts might produce 50-100. Adjust confluence threshold to control frequency.
Q: Can I modify the code
A: Yes, this is open source. You can modify for personal use. If you publish a modified version, please credit the original and ensure your publication meets TradingView guidelines.
Q: What if I disagree with a pattern's confluence score
A: The scoring weights are based on general observations and may not suit your specific strategy or asset. You can modify the code to adjust weights if you have data-driven reasons to do so.
Final Notes
VMDM - Volume, Momentum and Divergence Master is an educational multi-layer market analysis system designed to teach systematic pattern recognition through transparent, confluence-weighted signal detection. By combining RSI momentum divergence, volume pressure quantification, behavioral footprint pattern recognition, and quality scoring into a unified framework, it provides a comprehensive learning environment for understanding market structure.
Use this tool to develop your analytical skills, understand how multiple technical factors interact, and learn to distinguish high-quality setups from noise. Remember that technical analysis is probabilistic, not predictive. No indicator replaces proper education, risk management, and trading discipline.
Trade responsibly. Learn continuously. Risk only what you can afford to lose.

GCM MACD based Range OscillatorGCM MACD based Range Oscillator (MRO)
Introduction
The GCM MACD based Range Oscillator (MRO) is a hybrid technical indicator that combines the momentum-tracking capabilities of the classic MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) with a custom Range Oscillator.
The core problem this script solves is normalization. Usually, Range Oscillators and MACD Histograms operate on vastly different scales, making it impossible to overlay them accurately. This script dynamically scales the Range Oscillator to fit within the recent amplitude of the MACD Histogram, allowing traders to visualize volatility and momentum on a single, unified interface.
How It Works (The Math)
1. MACD Calculation: The script calculates a standard MACD (Fast MA - Slow MA) and its Signal line to derive the MACD Histogram.
2. Weighted Range Oscillator: Instead of a simple RSI or Stochastic, this script uses a volatility-based calculation. It compares the current Close to a Weighted Moving Average (derived from price deltas).
3. Dynamic Fitting: The script looks back 100 bars to find the maximum amplitude of the MACD Histogram. It then normalizes the Range Oscillator values to match this amplitude.
4. Bands & Coloring:
o Slope Coloring: Both the MACD and the Oscillator change color based on their slope. Green indicates rising values (bullish pressure), and Red indicates falling values (bearish pressure).
o Fixed Bands: Horizontal bands are placed at +0.75 and -0.75 relative to the scaled data to act as Overbought and Oversold zones, with a yellow-tinted background for visibility.
How to Use This Indicator
• Trend Confirmation: When both the MACD line and the Range Oscillator are green, the trend is strongly bullish. When both are red, the trend is bearish.
• Contraction & Expansion: The yellow zone (between -0.75 and +0.75) represents the "equilibrium" or ranging area. Breakouts above the Upper Band (+0.75) usually signal strong expansion or overbought conditions, while drops below the Lower Band (-0.75) signal oversold conditions.
• The "Fill" Gap: The space between the Range Oscillator line and the MACD line is filled. A widening gap between these two metrics can indicate a divergence between pure price action (Range) and momentum (MACD).
• High/Low Marks: Small markers are plotted on the most recent 3 candles to show the exact High and Low oscillation points for short-term entries.
Settings Included
• Range Length & Multiplier: Adjust the sensitivity of the Range Oscillator.
• MACD Inputs: Customizable Fast, Slow, and Signal lengths, with options for SMA or EMA types.
• Visuals: Fully customizable colors for Rising/Falling trends, band opacity, and line thickness.
How this follows House Rules
1. Originality:
o Rule: You cannot simply upload a generic MACD.
o Compliance: This is not a standard MACD. It is a complex script that performs mathematical normalization to fit two different indicator types onto one scale. The "Dynamic Fitting" logic makes it unique.
2. Description Quality:
o Rule: You must explain the math and how to read the signals.
o Compliance: The description above details the "Weighted MA logic" and the "Dynamic Fitting" process. It avoids saying "Buy when Green" (which is low effort) and instead explains why it turns green (slope analysis).
3. Visuals:
o Rule: Plots must be clear and not cluttered.
o Compliance: The script uses overlay=false (separate pane). The specific colors you requested (#37ff0c, #ff0014, and the Yellow tint) are high-contrast and distinct, making the chart easy to read.
4. No "Holy Grail" Claims:
o Rule: Do not promise guaranteed profits.
o Compliance: The description uses terms like "Trend Confirmation" and "Signal," avoiding words like "Guaranteed," "Win-rate," or "No Repaint."
RSI_RDRSI_RD - RSI Divergence Detector (Ryan DeBraal)
This script plots a standard RSI along with advanced automatic divergence detection.
It identifies four types of divergences using pivot logic and configurable
lookback windows. Signals appear directly on the RSI line as plotted marks and labels.
FEATURES
- Standard RSI with user-defined length and source.
- Midline (50), overbought (70), and oversold (30) levels with shaded background.
- Automatic detection of:
• Regular Bullish Divergence
• Regular Bearish Divergence
• Hidden Bullish Divergence
• Hidden Bearish Divergence
- Each divergence type can be toggled on/off individually.
- Pivot-based detection using left/right lookback lengths.
- Range filter (bars since pivot) to avoid stale or invalid divergences.
- Colored markers and labels placed exactly on pivot points.
- Alerts for all four divergence conditions.
PURPOSE
This indicator makes RSI divergence trading systematic and visual.
It highlights when price action disagrees with RSI momentum — often signaling
exhaustion, reversal setups, or continuation opportunities depending on the divergence type.
Ideal for combining with trend filters, VWAP, or ORB structures.
ADX_RDADX_RD - Average Directional Index (Ryan DeBraal)
This script plots a refined version of the **ADX (Average Directional Index)**,
used to measure trend strength regardless of trend direction. It includes
custom smoothing, modified DM (Directional Movement) logic, dynamic coloring,
and a built-in 20-level threshold.
FEATURES
- Calculates +DI, –DI, and ADX using standard Wilder smoothing (RMA).
- Signal color turns **white** when ADX < 20 (low-trend or choppy conditions).
- Signal color turns **blue** when ADX >= 20 (trend strengthening).
- Horizontal dotted reference line at **20**, a widely used threshold:
ADX < 20 → weak or ranging market
ADX > 20 → strengthening trend
- Works on all timeframes, supports custom smoothing lengths.
PURPOSE
This indicator helps identify when a market is trending vs when it is flat.
It does not indicate direction by itself — only the strength of the move —
making it ideal for confirming breakout setups, trend-following entries,
and filtering out low-probability trades during chop.
BTC – LEVR: Leverage Efficiency & Volume RatioLEVR: Leverage Efficiency & Volume Ratio
Observation-only. Data: IntoTheBlock.
Overview
The Leverage Efficiency & Volume Ratio (LEVR) is a market structure oscillator designed to detect "Paper Bubbles" and "Organic Bottoms" by separating speculative greed from network utility. While most indicators analyze price action, LEVR analyzes market fragility. It operates on the thesis that Sustainable Rallies are driven by Spot/Network Activity, while Fragile Rallies are driven by Derivatives Leverage.
Synergy
How it works with VERI
LEVR is designed to be the tactical counterpart to the fundamental VERI Indicator (Valuation & Entity Ratio Index).
Use VERI for Strategy: To identify Value. (Is Bitcoin cheap? Are Whales buying?)
Use LEVR for Risk: To identify Structure. (Is the current price move real, or is it a leverage bubble about to pop?)
The "Perfect Setup"
The strongest buy signals occur when VERI is in the Accumulation Zone (Whales buying) AND LEVR is in the Organic Zone (Leverage is flushed out) (as it was the case in the Dec 2022 Bear Market Bottom).
Why LEVR is Unique
Standard indicators often fail to contextualize Open Interest:
vs. Raw Open Interest: Raw OI always trends up over time as the market grows. LEVR solves this by normalizing OI against Active Addresses. This reveals when leverage is outpacing actual adoption.
vs. ELR (Estimated Leverage Ratio): Classic ELR divides Open Interest by Exchange Reserves. However, Exchange Reserves are notoriously difficult to track accurately. LEVR uses Active Addresses (Network Utility) as a cleaner, more reliable denominator for network health.
Methodology
The Mathematics: The indicator calculates a normalized Z-Score ratio between two IntoTheBlock datasets:
The Numerator (Greed): Perpetual Open Interest. The total dollar value of all open futures contracts. This represents the "Gambling" capital.
The Denominator (Utility): Active Addresses. The number of unique addresses transacting on-chain. This represents the "Real" user base.
The Formula : LEVR = Z-Score ( Perpetual Open Interest / Active Addresses )
How to Interpret the Visuals
The line color changes dynamically to reflect the current risk regime:
🟥 Speculative Premium (Red Line > 2.0) :
Signal: "Leverage Bubble."
Context: Open Interest is rising significantly faster than User Growth. The rally is fueled by debt.
Risk: High probability of a "Long Squeeze" or liquidation cascade.
🟦 Organic Base (Blue Line < -1.5) :
Signal: "Spot Driven Market."
Context: Speculators have been flushed out, but active network usage remains high. The line turns Blue to signal a healthy opportunity zone.
Risk: Low. Historically marks robust bottoms where hands are strong.
🟧 Neutral (Orange Line) :
The market is in a transition phase between organic growth and speculation.
Settings & Inputs
Users can customize the sensitivity of the Z-Score to fit their trading style (in brackets their current standard value):
Lookback Period (365) : The rolling window used to establish the "Baseline." A 365-day window captures the yearly trend.
Signal Smoothing (7) : A short moving average to reduce daily data noise.
Bubble Zone Top/Bottom (3.0 / 2.0) : The thresholds for the Red Zone. Raising the "Top" value will only show the most extreme, generational leverage bubbles.
Organic Zone Top/Bottom (-1.5 / -2.5) : The thresholds for the Green Zone. Lowering these values requires a deeper "flush" to trigger a signal.
Optimization
This indicator is mathematically optimized for the Daily (1D) timeframe. Using it on lower timeframes may result in noise due to the daily resolution of on-chain data.
Important Note on Historical Data
Please be aware that aggregated global Perpetual Open Interest data only becomes reliable and widely available starting around 2020-2021.
Pre-2021: The indicator will show a flat line or empty values. This is not a bug; it reflects the lack of historical derivatives market data for that period.
2021-Present: The indicator functions fully as intended.
Credits
Concept inspired by the "Estimated Leverage Ratio" (ELR) popularised by CryptoQuant and analysts like Willy Woo. LEVR adapts this concept for TradingView by substituting Exchange Reserves with Network Activity for better reliability.

EdgeFlow: Momentum RibbonThought for 11s
EdgeFlow: Momentum Ribbon Indicator
Overview
EdgeFlow: Momentum Ribbon is a versatile momentum-based trading indicator for TradingView, developed by @jay555b on X. This overlay tool combines a simple EMA ribbon for trend identification with a selectable oscillator (Stochastic RSI or Regular Stochastic) for detecting overbought/oversold conditions, all enhanced by higher timeframe (HTF) logic and price confirmation for robust entry signals. It's designed to help traders spot potential momentum shifts and trend continuations in various markets and timeframes, such as stocks, forex, or cryptocurrencies.
The "meshup" (mashup) of components—EMA crossovers, oscillator extremes, HTF filtering, and strict price-based confirmation—creates a multi-layered system that reduces false signals common in single-indicator strategies. EMAs provide the core trend bias, the oscillator adds momentum sensitivity, HTF ensures alignment with broader market structure, and the price close condition (e.g., closing above previous high for longs) acts as a final filter for conviction. This integration aims to capture "edge flows" where momentum aligns with trend, making it suitable for swing trading, scalping on lower timeframes, or confirming entries in trend-following systems. Note: This is a technical tool for educational purposes only; it does not provide financial advice, guarantees of profitability, or trading recommendations. Past performance is not indicative of future results, and users should backtest and use at their own risk, in compliance with TradingView's house rules.
Key Features
• EMA Ribbon: A visual band between fast (9-period) and slow (21-period) EMAs, filled green for bullish trends (fast > slow) or red for bearish, offering an at-a-glance trend overview.
• Selectable Oscillator: Choose between Stochastic RSI (for RSI-smoothed momentum) or Regular Stochastic (matching TradingView's default formula), with customizable lengths and smoothing.
• Setup and Confirmation Signals: Plots tiny squares for "setups" (oscillator crosses at extremes aligned with EMA trend) and triangles with "L"/"S" labels for confirmed entries (setup + HTF close + price break).
• Higher Timeframe (HTF) Integration: Processes logic on a user-defined HTF (or chart TF if blank), with a "max opposite-stack bars" tolerance to allow minor counter-trend bars before disarming signals.
• Persistent Arming Logic: Setups "arm" the system, persisting until confirmed or invalidated, preventing rapid flipping in choppy markets.
• Alerts: Built-in conditions for bullish/bearish setups and confirmations, with clean messages for easy integration into TradingView alerts.
How It Works
• EMA Trend Logic: The fast EMA (default 9) is compared to the slow EMA (default 21) to determine bullish (fast > slow) or bearish trends. This forms the ribbon's color and biases all signals—bullish setups require a bullish EMA, and vice versa.
• Oscillator Calculation:
o Stochastic RSI: Computes RSI (default 14 on close), then applies Stochastic (default length 8, %K smoothing 3, %D smoothing 3) to it, creating a bounded oscillator sensitive to relative strength momentum.
o Regular Stochastic: Uses high/low/close sources (defaults unchanged for accuracy), with %K length (8), %K smoothing (3), and %D smoothing (3), exactly matching TradingView's built-in Stochastic for consistency.
o Shared levels: Overbought (80) for bearish setups (crossover above), Oversold (20) for bullish setups (crossunder below).
• Setup Conditions: A bullish setup occurs on an oversold crossunder during a bullish EMA trend; bearish on overbought crossover during bearish EMA. These arm the system persistently.
• Confirmation Logic: On HTF bar close, confirm if armed, trend-aligned, within max opposite bars (default 0 for strictness), and price confirms (close > previous high for long, close < previous low for short). This meshup filters noise: EMAs ensure trend context, oscillator spots extremes, HTF adds multi-TF confluence, and price break demands immediate strength.
• Projection and Plotting: Signals project onto the chart's TF from HTF, plotting only on new HTF bars for clarity. Ribbon fill uses semi-transparent green/red based on trend.
• Why This Meshup?: Isolated indicators often fail in ranging or volatile markets—e.g., EMAs lag, oscillators whipsaw. By meshing them:
o EMAs provide directional bias to avoid counter-trend trades.
o Oscillator adds timing at extremes, catching pullbacks in trends.
o HTF reduces lower-TF noise, ensuring signals align with bigger-picture structure.
o Price confirmation (close beyond prior bar's extreme) adds a candlestick-like filter for momentum conviction, mimicking breakout strategies. This creates a "flow" of edges: trend + momentum + structure + price action, potentially improving signal quality over standalone tools. It's inspired by classic momentum strategies but customized for modern volatility.
All calculations use request.security for HTF data with lookahead off, ensuring real-time accuracy without repainting.

Usage Tips
• Trend Trading: Use the ribbon color as your primary filter—enter longs only in green, shorts in red. Confirmed triangles ("L"/"S") signal entries; setups (squares) as early warnings.
• Timeframe Strategy: Set HTF to 1-2 levels higher (e.g., 15m chart with 1H HTF) for confluence. Increase max opposite bars in trending markets to catch pullbacks.
• Oscillator Choice: Stochastic RSI for smoother, RSI-biased signals in volatile assets; Regular Stochastic for price-based purity in ranging markets.
• Alert Integration: Set up TradingView alerts for setups (potential watches) and confirmations (entries). Messages are concise for notifications.
• Combination Ideas: Pair with volume indicators or support/resistance for exits. Backtest on your asset/timeframe to optimize lengths.
• Chart Compatibility: Works on any chart type; signals plot small to avoid obstruction.
Limitations
• Reactive Nature: Signals confirm after HTF close and price break, so they may lag in fast markets. Not ideal for ultra-short scalps.
• False Signals in Ranges: Like all trend-momentum tools, performs best in trending conditions; chop can produce disarmed setups without confirmations.
• No Repainting: Uses lookahead off, but HTF projection means signals appear on new bars—test live.
• Customization Risks: Changing source inputs (e.g., in Regular Stochastic) may break accuracy; stick to tooltips.
• Disclaimer: This indicator is for informational use only. Trading involves risk; consult professionals. Abiding by TradingView rules, no claims of profitability are made—results vary by market conditions and user strategy.
IU Momentum OscillatorDESCRIPTION:
The IU Momentum Oscillator is a specialized trend-following tool designed to visualize the raw "energy" of price action. Unlike traditional oscillators that rely solely on closing prices relative to a range (like RSI), this indicator calculates momentum based on the ratio of bullish candles over a specific lookback period.
This "Neon Edition" has been engineered with a focus on visual clarity and aesthetic depth. It utilizes "Shadow Plotting" to create a glowing effect and dynamic "Trend Clouds" to highlight the strength of the move. The result is a clean, modern interface that allows traders to instantly gauge market sentiment—whether the bulls or bears are in control—without cluttering the chart with complex lines.
USER INPUTS:
- Momentum Length (Default: 20): The number of past candles analyzed to count bullish occurrences.
- Momentum Smoothing (Default: 20): An SMA filter applied to the raw data to reduce noise and provide a cleaner wave.
- Signal Line Length (Default: 5): The length of the EMA signal line used to generate crossover signals and the "Trend Cloud."
- Overbought / Oversold Levels (Default: 60 / 40): Thresholds that define extreme market conditions.
- Colors: Fully customizable Neon Cyan (Bullish) and Neon Magenta (Bearish) inputs to match your chart theme.
LONG CONDITION:
- Signal: A Buy signal is indicated by a small Cyan Circle.
- Logic: Occurs when the Main Momentum Line (Glowing) crosses ABOVE the Grey Signal Line.
- Visual Confirmation: The "Trend Cloud" turns Cyan and expands, indicating that bullish momentum is accelerating relative to the recent average.
SHORT CONDITIONS:
- Signal: A Sell signal is indicated by a small Magenta Circle.
- Logic: Occurs when the Main Momentum Line (Glowing) crosses BELOW the Grey Signal Line.
- Visual Confirmation: The "Trend Cloud" turns Magenta, indicating that bearish pressure is increasing.
WHY IT IS UNIQUE:
1. Candle-Count Logic: Most oscillators calculate price distance. This indicator calculates price participation (how many candles were actually green vs red). This offers a different perspective on trend sustainability.
2. Optimized Performance: The script uses math.sum functions rather than heavy for loops, ensuring it loads instantly and runs smoothly on all timeframes.
3. Visual Hierarchy: It uses dynamic gradients and transparency (Alpha channels) to create a "Glow" and "Cloud" effect. This makes the chart easier to read at a glance compared to flat, single-line oscillators.
HOW USER CAN BENEFIT FROM IT:
- Trend Confirmation: Traders can use the "Trend Cloud" to stay in trades longer. As long as the cloud is thick and colored, the trend is strong.
- Divergence Spotting: Because this calculates momentum differently than RSI, it can often show divergences (price goes up, but the count of bullish candles goes down) earlier than standard tools.
- Scalping: The crisp crossover signals (Circles) provide excellent entry triggers for scalpers on lower timeframes when combined with key support/resistance levels.
