Adaptive 2 EMA Cloud (Trend-Aware)Adaptive 2 EMA Cloud (Trend-Aware)
This indicator combines a classic 2-EMA cloud and crossover with an adaptive Trend vs Chop filter designed to reduce whipsaws during sideways markets.
Instead of treating every EMA crossover equally, this script evaluates EMA separation and directional commitment (normalized by ATR) to determine whether price is trending or chopping. Signals can optionally be filtered so they only appear during qualified trend conditions.
What This Indicator Does
Plots two configurable EMAs with a filled EMA cloud
Marks bullish and bearish EMA crossovers
Classifies market state as BULLISH / BEARISH / CHOP
Optionally filters signals during chop
Highlights chop zones with a subtle background
Displays a movable Trend status label (Top / Bottom × Left / Middle / Right) with offset controls to avoid UI overlap
This makes the indicator useful both as:
A visual trend context tool
A signal filter to pair with discretionary or systematic entries

Input Guide (Streamlined)
minDistATR — EMA Separation
Sets the minimum EMA spacing (ATR-normalized) required for a trend.
Higher = stricter, fewer signals
Filters EMA compression / ranges
Too much chop → increase
Too few signals → decrease
Too low = congestion signals · Too high = late entries
minSlopeATR — EMA Slope / Commitment
Sets the minimum directional strength (ATR-normalized) of the EMAs.
Higher = stricter, fewer signals
Filters weak drift and slow grind
Signals stall → increase
Miss smooth trends → decrease
Too low = flat EMAs allowed · Too high = requires acceleration
slopeLen — Slope Lookback
Controls how quickly the filter reacts.
Lower = faster, noisier
Higher = smoother, fewer signals
3–5 responsive · 8–14 stable
atrLen — Normalization
Stabilizes distance and slope across symbols and timeframes.
Leave at 14 normally
Use 20–30 during extreme volatility shifts
Notes
This is an indicator, not a strategy. It does not backtest or predict outcomes.
No filter eliminates chop entirely—this tool is designed to reduce low-quality conditions, not remove them.
Best results come from matching presets to timeframe first, then making small adjustments only when behavior is clearly off.
Indicateurs et stratégies
3D Isometric MFI (Christmas Edition) [Kodexius]3D Isometric MFI (Christmas Edition) is a visual-first interpretation of the classic Money Flow Index, rendered as a projected 3D-style ribbon using an isometric mapping. Instead of plotting a standard oscillator line, the script reconstructs recent MFI history as a depth-aware ribbon that moves from back to front, producing a layered perspective effect that helps you read momentum shifts, regime transitions, and relative strength changes as a continuous structure.
This Christmas Edition was also built for fun and as a creative seasonal experiment. The goal is to keep the underlying indicator logic familiar, while presenting it in a playful, “3D showroom” style that looks great in a separate oscillator panel.
The indicator is designed for presentation quality and chart readability. It uses controlled object management (lines, polylines, labels) and renders only the most recent portion of the MFI history (user-defined depth). A decorative snow background effect adds atmosphere.
🔹 Features 🎄
🔸 Isometric 3D Projection Engine
The ribbon is produced by projecting 3D points (time offset, MFI value, depth) into 2D chart coordinates.
- X represents bar offset into history
- Y represents the MFI value
- Z introduces depth and perspective
Angle controls the projection direction, and Vertical Zoom scales the perceived amplitude.
🔸 Depth-Limited Ribbon Rendering (Back to Front)
Only the most recent History Depth values are drawn to keep performance and readability stable.
- Each segment connects two consecutive MFI values
- A top edge, bottom edge, and filled face are drawn to simulate thickness
- Older segments fade into the background
🔸 Dynamic Gradient Coloring + Depth Fade
Ribbon color follows a value-based gradient:
- Lower values lean red (risk-off pressure)
- Higher values lean green (risk-on pressure)
- Mid values blend naturally
Transparency increases with depth so older history is less dominant but still readable.
🔸 Tip Label (Value + Candy Marker) 🍭🍬
The most recent ribbon tip displays current MFI value.
A candy symbol that switches based on the 50 midpoint
The label is offset so it does not cover the ribbon tip.
🔸 Projected Reference Grid (80, 50, 20)
A projected grid is drawn at classic MFI reference levels to improve orientation:
- 80 Overbought reference
- 50 Midpoint reference
- 20 Oversold reference
These grid lines use the same projection math, so they stay aligned at any angle or zoom.
🔸 Seasonal Snow Background Effect ❄️
Randomized snow is rendered behind the ribbon using lightweight labels. This is purely decorative and does not alter MFI values or logic.
🔸 Object Lifecycle Management
Because 3D-style drawing uses many objects, the script manages them explicitly by storing references in arrays, deleting old objects, and redrawing on the last bar. This helps prevent visual stacking artifacts and keeps the panel clean.
🔹 Calculations
1) Money Flow Index Computation
The script separates “positive” and “negative” money flow based on the direction of change in the selected source, then converts their ratio into the standard 0 to 100 oscillator. Classic MFI Calculations.
calc_mfi(int length, float source) =>
float upper = math.sum(volume * (ta.change(source) <= 0 ? 0 : source), length)
float lower = math.sum(volume * (ta.change(source) >= 0 ? 0 : source), length)
float mfi = 100.0
if lower != 0
float r = upper / lower
mfi := 100 - (100 / (1 + r))
mfi
Interpretation:
upper accumulates volume-weighted source values on up moves
lower accumulates volume-weighted source values on down moves
if lower is zero, MFI defaults to 100 to avoid division errors
otherwise, MFI is computed from the ratio transform
2) History Buffer Management
The current MFI value is pushed into the front of an array every bar. The array is trimmed to History Depth so rendering stays bounded.
array.unshift(ctx.history_val, mfi_curr)
if ctx.history_val.size() > depth
ctx.history_val.pop()
3) 3D Point Model and Ribbon Thickness
Each segment is built from four projected points to form a filled face (a simple quad). A small thickness is applied to create the “ribbon” look, and depth is used to simulate perspective.
4) Isometric Projection to Chart Coordinates
3D points are mapped into chart coordinates with an angle rotation and scaling for zoom and depth.
method project(Point3 p, int anchor_bar, float angle_rad, float zoom, float z_scale) =>
float x_world = -float(p.x) * 2.0
float z_val = p.z * z_scale
float screen_x_offset = (x_world * math.cos(angle_rad)) - (z_val * 1.0)
float screen_y_offset = (p.y * zoom) + (x_world * math.sin(angle_rad)) * 0.5
int final_x = anchor_bar + int(math.round(screen_x_offset))
float final_y = screen_y_offset
chart.point.from_index(final_x, final_y)
5) Gradient and Depth Transparency
Color is derived from MFI value via a gradient, and transparency increases with segment depth so recent data remains dominant while older context stays visible.
6) Projected Reference Grid Construction
The 80, 50, 20 levels are drawn as dotted segments across the same historical span, using the same projection and depth fade logic for consistent alignment.
🎆 Wishing you a great year ahead 🎄✨
May your charts be clear, your risk be controlled, and your next year be filled with health, peace, and good trades. Happy Holidays and Happy New Year.
Ultimate MACD [captainua]Ultimate MACD - Comprehensive MACD Trading System
Overview
This indicator combines traditional MACD calculations with advanced features including divergence detection, volume analysis, histogram analysis tools, regression forecasting, strong top/bottom detection, and multi-timeframe confirmation to provide a comprehensive MACD-based trading system. The script calculates MACD using configurable moving average types (EMA, SMA, RMA, WMA) and applies various smoothing methods to reduce noise while maintaining responsiveness. The combination of these features creates a multi-layered confirmation system that reduces false signals by requiring alignment across multiple indicators and timeframes.
Core Calculations
MACD Calculation:
The script calculates MACD using the standard formula: MACD Line = Fast MA - Slow MA, Signal Line = Moving Average of MACD Line, Histogram = MACD Line - Signal Line. The default parameters are Fast=12, Slow=26, Signal=9, matching the traditional MACD settings. The script supports four moving average types:
- EMA (Exponential Moving Average): Standard and most responsive, default choice
- SMA (Simple Moving Average): Equal weight to all periods
- RMA (Wilder's Moving Average): Smoother, less responsive
- WMA (Weighted Moving Average): Recent prices weighted more heavily
The price source can be configured as Close (standard), Open, High, Low, HL2, HLC3, or OHLC4. Alternative sources provide different sensitivity characteristics for various trading strategies.
Configuration Presets:
The script includes trading style presets that automatically configure MACD parameters:
- Scalping: Fast/Responsive settings (8,18,6 with minimal smoothing)
- Day Trading: Balanced settings (10,22,7 with minimal smoothing)
- Swing Trading: Standard settings (12,26,9 with moderate smoothing)
- Position Trading: Smooth/Conservative settings (15,35,12 with higher smoothing)
- Custom: Full manual control over all parameters
Histogram Smoothing:
The histogram can be smoothed using EMA to reduce noise and filter minor fluctuations. Smoothing length of 1 = raw histogram (no smoothing), higher values (3-5) = smoother histogram. Increased smoothing reduces noise but may delay signals slightly.
Percentage Mode:
MACD values can be converted to percentage of price (MACD/Close*100) for cross-instrument comparison. This is useful when comparing MACD signals across instruments with different price levels (e.g., BTC vs ETH). The percentage mode normalizes MACD values, making them comparable regardless of instrument price.
MACD Scale Factor:
A scale factor multiplier (default 1.0) allows adjusting MACD display size for better visibility. Use 0.3-0.5 if MACD appears too compressed, or 2.0-3.0 if too small.
Dynamic Overbought/Oversold Levels:
Overbought and oversold levels are calculated dynamically based on MACD's mean and standard deviation over a lookback period. The formula: OB = MACD Mean + (StdDev × OB Multiplier), OS = MACD Mean - (StdDev × OS Multiplier). This adapts to current market conditions, widening in volatile markets and narrowing in calm markets. The lookback period (default 20) controls how quickly the levels adapt: longer periods (30-50) = more stable levels, shorter (10-15) = more responsive.
OB/OS Background Coloring:
Optional background coloring can highlight the entire panel when MACD enters overbought or oversold territory, providing prominent visual indication of extreme conditions. The background colors are drawn on top of the main background to ensure visibility.
Divergence Detection
Regular Divergence:
The script uses the MACD line (not histogram) for divergence detection, which provides more reliable signals. Bullish divergence: Price makes a lower low while MACD line makes a higher low. Bearish divergence: Price makes a higher high while MACD line makes a lower high. Divergences often precede reversals and are powerful reversal signals.
Pivot-Based Divergence:
The divergence detection uses actual pivot points (pivotlow/pivothigh) instead of simple lowest/highest comparisons. This provides more accurate divergence detection by identifying significant pivot lows/highs in both price and MACD line. The pivot-based method compares two recent pivot points: for bullish divergence, price makes a lower low while MACD makes a higher low at the pivot points. This method reduces false divergences by requiring actual pivot points rather than just any low/high within a period.
The pivot lookback parameters (left and right) control how many bars on each side of a pivot are required for confirmation. Higher values = more conservative pivot detection.
Hidden Divergence:
Continuation patterns that signal trend continuation rather than reversal. Bullish hidden divergence: Price makes a higher low but MACD makes a lower low. Bearish hidden divergence: Price makes a lower high but MACD makes a higher high. These patterns indicate the trend is likely to continue in the current direction.
Zero-Line Filter:
The "Don't Touch Zero Line" option ensures divergences occur in proper context: for bullish divergence, MACD must stay below zero; for bearish divergence, MACD must stay above zero. This filters out divergences that occur in neutral zones.
Range Filtering:
Minimum and maximum lookback ranges control the time window between pivots to consider for divergence. This helps filter out divergences that are too close together (noise) or too far apart (less relevant).
Volume Confirmation System
Volume threshold filtering requires current volume to exceed the volume SMA multiplied by the threshold factor. The formula: Volume Confirmed = Volume > (Volume SMA × Threshold). If the threshold is set to 1.0 or lower, volume confirmation is effectively disabled (always returns true). This allows you to use the indicator without volume filtering if desired. Volume confirmation significantly increases divergence and signal reliability.
Volume Climax and Dry-Up Detection:
The script can mark bars with extremely high volume (volume climax) or extremely low volume (volume dry-up). Volume climax indicates potential reversal points or strong momentum continuation. Volume dry-up indicates low participation and may produce unreliable signals. These markers use standard deviation multipliers to identify extreme volume conditions.
Zero-Line Cross Detection
MACD zero-line crosses indicate momentum shifts: above zero = bullish momentum, below zero = bearish momentum. The script includes alert conditions for zero-line crosses with cooldown protection to prevent alert spam. Zero-line crosses can provide early warning signals before MACD crosses the signal line.
Histogram Analysis Tools
Histogram Moving Average:
A moving average applied to the histogram itself helps identify histogram trend direction and acts as a signal line for histogram movements. Supports EMA, SMA, RMA, and WMA types. Useful for identifying when histogram momentum is strengthening or weakening.
Histogram Bollinger Bands:
Bollinger Bands are applied to the MACD histogram instead of price. The calculation: Basis = SMA(Histogram, Period), StdDev = stdev(Histogram, Period), Upper = Basis + (StdDev × Deviation Multiplier), Lower = Basis - (StdDev × Deviation Multiplier). This creates dynamic zones around the histogram that adapt to histogram volatility. When the histogram touches or exceeds the bands, it indicates extreme conditions relative to recent histogram behavior.
Stochastic MACD (StochMACD):
Stochastic MACD applies the Stochastic oscillator formula to the MACD histogram instead of price. This normalizes the histogram to a 0-100 scale, making it easier to identify overbought/oversold conditions on the histogram itself. The calculation: %K = ((Histogram - Lowest Histogram) / (Highest Histogram - Lowest Histogram)) × 100. %K is smoothed, and %D is calculated as the moving average of smoothed %K. Standard thresholds are 80 (overbought) and 20 (oversold).
Regression Forecasting
The script includes advanced regression forecasting that predicts future MACD values using mathematical models. This helps anticipate potential MACD movements and provides forward-looking context for trading decisions.
Regression Types:
- Linear: Simple trend line (y = mx + b) - fastest, works well for steady trends
- Polynomial: Quadratic curve (y = ax² + bx + c) - captures curvature in MACD movement
- Exponential Smoothing: Weighted average with more weight on recent values - responsive to recent changes
- Moving Average: Uses difference between short and long MA to estimate trend - stable and smooth
Forecast Horizon:
Number of bars to forecast ahead (default 5, max 50 for linear/MA, max 20 for polynomial due to performance). Longer horizons predict further ahead but may be less accurate.
Confidence Bands:
Optional upper/lower bands around forecast show prediction uncertainty based on forecast error (standard deviation of prediction vs actual). Wider bands = higher uncertainty. The confidence level multiplier (default 1.5) controls band width.
Forecast Display:
Forecast appears as dotted lines extending forward from current bar, with optional confidence bands. All forecast values respect percentage mode and scale factor settings.
Strong Top/Bottom Signals
The script detects strong recovery from extreme MACD levels, generating "sBottom" and "sTop" signals. These identify significant reversal potential when MACD recovers substantially from overbought/oversold extremes.
Strong Bottom (sBottom):
Triggered when:
1. MACD was at or near its lowest point in the bottom period (default 10 bars)
2. MACD was in or near the oversold zone
3. MACD has recovered by at least the threshold amount (default 0.5) from the lowest point
4. Recovery persists for confirmation bars (default 2 consecutive bars)
5. MACD has moved out of the oversold zone
6. Volume is above average
7. All enabled filters pass
8. Minimum bars have passed since last signal (reset period, default 5 bars)
Strong Top (sTop):
Triggered when:
1. MACD was at or near its highest point in the top period (default 7 bars)
2. MACD was in or near the overbought zone
3. MACD has declined by at least the threshold amount (default 0.5) from the highest point
4. Decline persists for confirmation bars (default 2 consecutive bars)
5. MACD has moved out of the overbought zone
6. Volume is above average
7. All enabled filters pass
8. Minimum bars have passed since last signal (reset period, default 5 bars)
Label Placement:
sTop/sBottom labels appear on the historical bar where the actual extreme occurred (not on current bar), showing the exact MACD value at that extreme. Labels respect the unified distance checking system to prevent overlaps with Buy/Sell Strength labels.
Signal Strength Calculation
The script calculates a composite signal strength score (0-100) based on multiple factors:
- MACD distance from signal line (0-50 points): Larger separation indicates stronger signal
- Volume confirmation (0-15 points): Volume above average adds points
- Secondary timeframe alignment (0-15 points): Higher timeframe agreement adds points
- Distance from zero line (0-20 points): Closer to zero can indicate stronger reversal potential
Higher scores (70+) indicate stronger, more reliable signals. The signal strength is displayed in the statistics table and can be used as a filter to only accept signals above a threshold.
Smart Label Placement System
The script includes an advanced label placement system that tracks MACD extremes and places Buy/Sell Strength labels at optimal locations:
Label Placement Algorithm:
- Labels appear on the current bar at confirmation (not on historical extreme bars), ensuring they're visible when the signal is confirmed
- The system tracks pending signals when MACD enters OB/OS zones or crosses the signal line
- During tracking, the system continuously searches for the true extreme (lowest MACD for buys, highest MACD for sells) within a configurable historical lookback period
- Labels are only finalized when: (1) MACD exits the OB/OS zone, (2) sufficient bars have passed (2x minimum distance), (3) MACD has recovered/declined by a configurable percentage from the extreme (default 15%), and (4) tracking has stopped (no better extreme found)
Label Spacing and Overlap Prevention:
- Minimum Bars Between Labels: Base distance requirement (default 5 bars)
- Label Spacing Multiplier: Scales the base distance (default 1.5x) for better distribution. Higher values = more spacing between labels
- Effective distance = Base Distance × Spacing Multiplier (e.g., 5 × 1.5 = 7.5 bars minimum)
- Unified distance checking prevents overlaps between all label types (Buy Strength, Sell Strength, sTop, sBottom)
Strength-Based Filtering:
- Label Strength Minimum (%): Only labels with strength at or above this threshold are displayed (default 75%)
- When multiple potential labels are close together, the system automatically compares strengths and keeps only the strongest one
- This ensures only the most significant signals are displayed, reducing chart clutter
Zero Line Polarity Enforcement:
- Enforce Zero Line Polarity (default enabled): Ensures labels follow traditional MACD interpretation
- Buy Strength labels only appear when the tracked extreme MACD value was below zero (negative territory)
- Sell Strength labels only appear when the tracked extreme MACD value was above zero (positive territory)
- This prevents counter-intuitive labels (e.g., Buy labels above zero line) and aligns with standard MACD trading principles
Recovery/Decline Confirmation:
- Recovery/Decline Confirm (%): Percent move away from the extreme required before finalizing (default 15%)
- For Buy labels: MACD must recover by at least this percentage from the tracked bottom
- For Sell labels: MACD must decline by at least this percentage from the tracked top
- Higher values = more confirmation required, fewer but more reliable labels
Historical Lookback:
- Historical Lookback for Label Placement: Number of bars to search for true extremes (default 20)
- The system searches within this period to find the actual lowest/highest MACD value
- Higher values analyze more history but may be slower; lower values are faster but may miss some extremes
Cross Quality Score
The script calculates a MACD cross quality score (0-100) that rates crossover quality based on:
- Cross angle (0-50 points): Steeper crosses = stronger signals
- Volume confirmation (0-25 points): Volume above average adds points
- Distance from zero line (0-25 points): Crosses near zero line are stronger
This score helps identify high-quality crossovers and can be used as a filter to only accept signals meeting minimum quality threshold.
Filtering System
Histogram Filter:
Requires histogram to be above zero for buy signals, below zero for sell signals. Ensures momentum alignment before generating signals.
Signal Strength Filter:
Requires minimum signal strength score for signals. Higher threshold = only strongest signals pass. This combines multiple confirmation factors into a single filter.
Cross Quality Filter:
Requires minimum cross quality score for signals. Rates crossover quality based on angle, volume, momentum, and distance from zero. Only signals meeting minimum quality threshold will be generated.
All filters use the pattern: filterResult = not filterEnabled OR conditionMet. This means if a filter is disabled, it always passes (returns true). Filters can be combined, and all must pass for a signal to fire.
Multi-Timeframe Analysis
The script can display MACD from a secondary (higher) timeframe and use it for confirmation. When secondary timeframe confirmation is enabled, signals require the higher timeframe MACD to align (bullish/bearish) with the signal direction. This ensures signals align with the larger trend context, reducing counter-trend trades.
Secondary Timeframe MACD:
The secondary timeframe MACD uses the same calculation parameters (fast, slow, signal, MA type) as the main MACD but from a higher timeframe. This provides context for the current timeframe's MACD position relative to the larger trend. The secondary MACD lines are displayed on the chart when enabled.
Noise Filtering
Noise filtering hides small histogram movements below a threshold. This helps focus on significant moves and reduces chart clutter. When enabled, only histogram movements above the threshold are displayed. Typical threshold values are 0.1-0.5 for most instruments, depending on the instrument's price range and volatility.
Signal Debounce
Signal debounce prevents duplicate MACD cross signals within a short time period. Useful when MACD crosses back and forth quickly, creating multiple signals. Debounce ensures only one signal per period, reducing signal spam during choppy markets. This is separate from alert cooldown, which applies to all alert types.
Background Color Modes
The script offers three background color modes:
- Dynamic: Full MACD heatmap based on OB/OS conditions, confidence, and momentum. Provides rich visual feedback.
- Monotone: Soft neutral background but still allows overlays (OB/OS zones). Keeps the chart clean without overpowering candles.
- Off: No MACD background (only overlays and plots). Maximum chart cleanliness.
When OB/OS background colors are enabled, they are drawn on top of the main background to ensure visibility.
Statistics Table
A real-time statistics table displays current MACD values, signal strength, distance from zero line, secondary timeframe alignment, volume confirmation status, and all active filter statuses. The table dynamically adjusts to show only enabled features, keeping it clean and relevant. The table position can be configured (Top Left, Top Right, Bottom Left, Bottom Right).
Performance Statistics Table
An optional performance statistics table shows comprehensive filter diagnostics:
- Total buy/sell signals (raw crossover count before filters)
- Filtered buy/sell signals (signals that passed all filters)
- Overall pass rates (percentage of signals that passed filters)
- Rejected signals count
- Filter-by-filter rejection diagnostics showing which filters rejected how many signals
This table helps optimize filter settings by showing which filters are most restrictive and how they impact signal frequency. The diagnostics format shows rejections as "X B / Y S" (X buy signals rejected, Y sell signals rejected) or "Disabled" if the filter is not active.
Alert System
The script includes separate alert conditions for each signal type:
- MACD Cross: MACD line crosses above/below Signal line (with or without secondary confirmation)
- Zero-Line Cross: MACD crosses above/below zero
- Divergence: Regular and hidden divergence detections
- Secondary Timeframe: Higher timeframe MACD crosses
- Histogram MA Cross: Histogram crosses above/below its moving average
- Histogram Zero Cross: Histogram crosses above/below zero
- StochMACD: StochMACD overbought/oversold entries and %K/%D crosses
- Histogram BB: Histogram touches/breaks Bollinger Bands
- Volume Events: Volume climax and dry-up detections
- OB/OS: MACD entry/exit from overbought/oversold zones
- Strong Top/Bottom: sTop and sBottom signal detections
Each alert type has its own cooldown system to prevent alert spam. The cooldown requires a minimum number of bars between alerts of the same type, reducing duplicate alerts during volatile periods. Alert types can be filtered to only evaluate specific alert types (All, MACD Cross, Zero Line, Divergence, Secondary Timeframe, Histogram MA, Histogram Zero, StochMACD, Histogram BB, Volume Events, OB/OS, Strong Top/Bottom).
How Components Work Together
MACD crossovers provide the primary signal when the MACD line crosses the Signal line. Zero-line crosses indicate momentum shifts and can provide early warning signals. Divergences identify potential reversals before they occur.
Volume confirmation ensures signals occur with sufficient market participation, filtering out low-volume false breakouts. Histogram analysis tools (MA, Bollinger Bands, StochMACD) provide additional context for signal reliability and identify significant histogram zones.
Signal strength combines multiple confirmation factors into a single score, making it easy to filter for only the strongest signals. Cross quality score rates crossover quality to identify high-quality setups. Multi-timeframe confirmation ensures signals align with higher timeframe trends, reducing counter-trend trades.
Usage Instructions
Getting Started:
The default configuration shows MACD(12,26,9) with standard EMA calculations. Start with default settings and observe behavior, then customize settings to match your trading style. You can use configuration presets for quick setup based on your trading style.
Customizing MACD Parameters:
Adjust Fast Length (default 12), Slow Length (default 26), and Signal Length (default 9) based on your trading timeframe. Shorter periods (8,17,7) for faster signals, longer (15,30,12) for smoother signals. You can change the moving average type: EMA for responsiveness, RMA for smoothness, WMA for recent price emphasis.
Price Source Selection:
Choose Close (standard), or alternative sources (HL2, HLC3, OHLC4) for different sensitivity. HL2 uses the midpoint of the high-low range, HLC3 and OHLC4 incorporate more price information.
Histogram Smoothing:
Set smoothing to 1 for raw histogram (no smoothing), or increase (3-5) for smoother histogram that reduces noise. Higher smoothing reduces false signals but may delay signals slightly.
Percentage Mode:
Enable percentage mode when comparing MACD across instruments with different price levels. This normalizes MACD values, making them directly comparable.
Dynamic OB/OS Levels:
The dynamic thresholds automatically adapt to volatility. Adjust the multipliers (default 1.5) to fine-tune sensitivity: higher values (2.0-3.0) = more extreme thresholds (fewer signals), lower (1.0-1.5) = more frequent signals. Adjust the lookback period to control how quickly levels adapt. Enable OB/OS background colors for visual indication of extreme conditions.
Volume Confirmation:
Set volume threshold to 1.0 (default, effectively disabled) or higher (1.2-1.5) for standard confirmation. Higher values require more volume for confirmation. Set to 0.1 to completely disable volume filtering.
Filters:
Enable filters gradually to find your preferred balance. Start with histogram filter for basic momentum alignment, then add signal strength filter (threshold 50+) for moderate signals, then cross quality filter (threshold 50+) for high-quality crossovers. Combine filters for highest-quality signals but expect fewer signals.
Divergence:
Enable divergence detection and adjust pivot lookback parameters. Pivot-based divergence provides more accurate detection using actual pivot points. Hidden divergence is useful for trend-following strategies. Adjust range parameters to filter divergences by time window.
Zero-Line Crosses:
Zero-line cross alerts are automatically available when alerts are enabled. These provide early warning signals for momentum shifts.
Histogram Analysis Tools:
Enable Histogram Moving Average to see histogram trend direction. Enable Histogram Bollinger Bands to identify extreme histogram zones. Enable Stochastic MACD to normalize histogram to 0-100 scale for overbought/oversold identification.
Multi-Timeframe:
Enable secondary timeframe MACD to see higher timeframe context. Enable secondary confirmation to require higher timeframe alignment for signals.
Signal Strength:
Signal strength is automatically calculated and displayed in the statistics table. Use signal strength filter to only accept signals above a threshold (e.g., 50 for moderate, 70+ for strong signals only).
Smart Label Placement:
Configure label placement settings to control label appearance and quality:
- Label Strength Minimum (%): Set threshold (default 75%) to show only strong signals. Higher = fewer, stronger labels
- Label Spacing Multiplier: Adjust spacing (default 1.5x) for better distribution. Higher = more spacing between labels
- Recovery/Decline Confirm (%): Set confirmation requirement (default 15%). Higher = more confirmation, fewer labels
- Enforce Zero Line Polarity: Enable (default) to ensure Buy labels only appear when tracked extreme was below zero, Sell labels only when above zero
- Historical Lookback: Adjust search period (default 20 bars) for finding true extremes. Higher = more history analyzed
Cross Quality:
Cross quality score is automatically calculated for crossovers. Use cross quality filter to only accept high-quality crossovers (threshold 50+ for moderate, 70+ for high quality).
Alerts:
Set up alerts for your preferred signal types. Enable alert cooldown (default enabled, 5 bars) to prevent alert spam. Use alert type filter to only evaluate specific alert types (All, MACD Cross, Zero Line, Divergence, Secondary Timeframe, Histogram MA, Histogram Zero, StochMACD, Histogram BB, Volume Events, OB/OS, Strong Top/Bottom). Each signal type has its own alert condition, so you can be selective about which signals trigger alerts.
Visual Elements and Signal Markers

- StochMACD Lines: %K and %D lines with overbought/oversold thresholds
- Regression Forecast: Dotted blue lines extending forward with optional confidence bands
Signal Priority and Interpretation
Signals are generated independently and can occur simultaneously. Higher-priority signals generally indicate stronger setups:
1. MACD Cross with Multiple Filters - Highest priority: Requires MACD crossover plus all enabled filters (histogram, signal strength, cross quality) and secondary timeframe confirmation if enabled. These are the most reliable signals.
2. Zero-Line Cross - High priority: Indicates momentum shift. Can provide early warning signals before MACD crosses the signal line.
3. Divergence Signals - Medium-High priority: Pivot-based divergence is more reliable than simple divergence. Hidden divergence indicates continuation rather than reversal.
4. MACD Cross with Basic Filters - Medium priority: MACD crosses signal line with basic histogram filter. Less reliable alone but useful when combined with other confirmations.
Best practice: Wait for multiple confirmations. For example, a MACD crossover combined with divergence, volume confirmation, and secondary timeframe alignment provides the strongest setup.
Chart Requirements
For proper script functionality and compliance with TradingView requirements, ensure your chart displays:
- Symbol name: The trading pair or instrument name should be visible
- Timeframe: The chart timeframe should be clearly displayed
- Script name: "Ultimate MACD " should be visible in the indicator title
These elements help traders understand what they're viewing and ensure proper script identification. The script automatically includes this information in the indicator title and chart labels.
Performance Considerations
The script is optimized for performance:
- Calculations use efficient Pine Script functions (ta.ema, ta.sma, etc.) which are optimized by TradingView
- Conditional execution: Features only calculate when enabled
- Label management: Old labels are automatically deleted to prevent accumulation
- Array management: Divergence label arrays are limited to prevent memory accumulation
The script should perform well on all timeframes. On very long historical data with many enabled features, performance may be slightly slower, but it remains usable.
Known Limitations and Considerations
- Dynamic OB/OS levels can vary significantly based on recent MACD volatility. In very volatile markets, levels may be wider; in calm markets, they may be narrower.
- Volume confirmation requires sufficient historical volume data. On new instruments or very short timeframes, volume calculations may be less reliable.
- Higher timeframe MACD uses request.security() which may have slight delays on some data feeds.
- Stochastic MACD requires the histogram to have sufficient history. Very short periods on new charts may produce less reliable StochMACD values initially.
- Divergence detection requires sufficient historical data to identify pivot points. Very short lookback periods may produce false positives.
Practical Use Cases
The indicator can be configured for different trading styles and timeframes:
Swing Trading:
Use MACD(12,26,9) with secondary timeframe confirmation. Enable divergence detection. Use signal strength filter (threshold 50+) and cross quality filter (threshold 50+) for higher-quality signals. Enable histogram analysis tools for additional context.
Day Trading:
Use MACD(8,17,7) or use "Day Trading" preset with minimal histogram smoothing for faster signals. Enable zero-line cross alerts for early signals. Use volume confirmation with threshold 1.2-1.5. Enable histogram MA for momentum tracking.
Trend Following:
Use MACD(12,26,9) or longer periods (15,30,12) for smoother signals. Enable secondary timeframe confirmation for trend alignment. Hidden divergence signals are useful for trend continuation entries. Use cross quality filter to identify high-quality crossovers.
Reversal Trading:
Focus on divergence detection (pivot-based for accuracy) combined with zero-line crosses. Enable volume confirmation. Use histogram Bollinger Bands to identify extreme histogram zones. Enable StochMACD for overbought/oversold identification.
Multi-Timeframe Analysis:
Enable secondary timeframe MACD to see context from larger timeframes. For example, use daily MACD on hourly charts to understand the larger trend context. Enable secondary confirmation to require higher timeframe alignment for signals.
Practical Tips and Best Practices
Getting Started:
Start with default settings and observe MACD behavior. The default configuration (MACD 12,26,9 with EMA) is balanced and works well across different markets. After observing behavior, customize settings to match your trading style. Consider using configuration presets for quick setup.
Reducing Repainting:
All signals are based on confirmed bars, minimizing repainting. The script uses confirmed bar data for all calculations to ensure backtesting accuracy.
Signal Quality:
MACD crosses with multiple filters provide the highest-quality signals because they require alignment across multiple indicators. These signals have lower frequency but higher reliability. Use signal strength scores to identify the strongest signals (70+). Use cross quality scores to identify high-quality crossovers (70+).
Filter Combinations:
Start with histogram filter for basic momentum alignment, then add signal strength filter for moderate signals, then cross quality filter for high-quality crossovers. Combining all filters significantly reduces false signals but also reduces signal frequency. Find your balance based on your risk tolerance.
Volume Filtering:
Set volume threshold to 1.0 (default, effectively disabled) or lower to effectively disable volume filtering if you trade instruments with unreliable volume data or want to test without volume confirmation. Standard confirmation uses 1.2-1.5 threshold.
MACD Period Selection:
Standard MACD(12,26,9) provides balanced signals suitable for most trading. Shorter periods (8,17,7) for faster signals, longer (15,30,12) for smoother signals. Adjust based on your timeframe and trading style. Consider using configuration presets for optimized settings.
Moving Average Type:
EMA provides balanced responsiveness with smoothness. RMA is smoother and less responsive. WMA gives more weight to recent prices. SMA gives equal weight to all periods. Choose based on your preference for responsiveness vs. smoothness.
Divergence:
Pivot-based divergence is more reliable than simple divergence because it uses actual pivot points. Hidden divergence indicates continuation rather than reversal, useful for trend-following strategies. Adjust pivot lookback parameters to control sensitivity.
Dynamic Thresholds:
Dynamic OB/OS thresholds automatically adapt to volatility. In volatile markets, thresholds widen; in calm markets, they narrow. Adjust the multipliers to fine-tune sensitivity. Enable OB/OS background colors for visual indication.
Zero-Line Crosses:
Zero-line crosses indicate momentum shifts and can provide early warning signals before MACD crosses the signal line. Enable alerts for zero-line crosses to catch these early signals.
Alert Management:
Enable alert cooldown (default enabled, 5 bars) to prevent alert spam. Use alert type filter to only evaluate specific alert types. Signal debounce (default enabled, 3 bars) prevents duplicate MACD cross signals during choppy markets.

Hybrid Smart Money Concepts [MarkitTick]💡This indicator provides a comprehensive technical analysis system that combines Market Structure concepts (Smart Money Concepts) with advanced Gap Analysis and a statistical Stress Model. It is designed to help traders identify trend direction, structural pivot points, potential reversal zones (Order Blocks), significant price gaps, and moments of market exhaustion.
Unlike standard ZigZag or Fractal indicators, this script integrates volume, trend maturity, and statistical volatility (Z-Score) to contextually classify price action. By overlaying these elements with a robust Market Structure engine—which identifies Change of Character (CHoCH) and Order Blocks—the tool provides a confluent view of price action.
It automates the detection of institutional footprints, allowing traders to see the structural trend, momentum drivers, and potential exhaustion points simultaneously.
● METHODOLOGY
The script operates on three distinct but complementary logic engines:
• Gap Analysis Engine
This module detects gaps between the previous high/low and the current open. It classifies them into three specific types based on volume and structural context:
Breakaway Gaps: Identified when a gap creates a breakout above a recent Pivot High or below a Pivot Low. This signals the start of a potential new trend.
Exhaustion Gaps: Identified when a gap occurs with high relative volume and meets the Trend Maturity criteria. This often signals the end of a trend.
Runaway Gaps: Standard continuation gaps that occur within a trend.
• Market Structure Engine
Swings and CHoCH: The script uses a left-and-right bar lookback to identify Pivot Highs and Lows. A Change of Character (CHoCH) is plotted when price closes beyond the most recent major pivot.
Order Blocks (OB): Upon a continuation of the trend, the script scans backward to find the extreme candle (the origin of the move) and highlights this zone as an Order Block.
Dynamic Cleanup: Gaps and Order Blocks are automatically removed (mitigated) when price aggressively crosses through their levels.
• Exhaustion & Stress Model
This statistical engine measures market "Stress" by analyzing the impact of price range relative to volume (True Range / Volume).
Calculation: It calculates a Z-Score (Standard Deviation) of this impact.
Logic: When the Z-Score exceeds a specific threshold (Sigma), it indicates a statistical anomaly or "Stress."
Signal: If high stress occurs while price is significantly above the trend baseline, it signals "Buyer Exhaustion." Conversely, high stress below the baseline signals "Seller Exhaustion."
● VISUALS & LEGEND
Before trading, you need to know what the indicator is drawing on your chart:
• Change of Character (CHoCH)
Green Dashed Line: Indicates a Bullish reversal.
Red Dashed Line: Indicates a Bearish reversal.
• Order Blocks (OB)
Green Boxes: Bullish support zones (Buy interest).
Red Boxes: Bearish resistance zones (Sell interest).
Note: Invalidated boxes are automatically deleted.
• Gaps
Blue Box (Breakaway): Strong momentum gap starting a new trend.
Orange Box (Runaway): Continuation gap.
Red Box (Exhaustion): Warning signal; trend may be ending.
• Stress Model Signals
Label "BE" (Red): Buyer Exhaustion. Suggests the bullish move is overextended relative to volume participation.
Label "SE" (Green): Seller Exhaustion. Suggests the bearish move is overextended.
● TRADING STRATEGY
You can use a "Pullback, Continuation & Exhaustion" strategy with this indicator.
• Scenario A: Long Setup (Buying)
Trend Change: Look for a CHoCH label with a Green Dashed Line.
Entry Zone: Look for a Green Order Block (OB) to form.
Confirmation: A Breakaway Gap (Blue) validates the breakout.
Entry: Enter Long when price pulls back into the Green OB.
Exit Warning: If a "BE" (Buyer Exhaustion) label appears, consider tightening stops or taking profit.
• Scenario B: Short Setup (Selling)
Trend Change: Look for a CHoCH label with a Red Dashed Line.
Entry Zone: Look for a Red Order Block (OB) to form.
Confirmation: A Breakaway Gap downwards validates the move.
Entry: Enter Short when price rallies back into the Red OB.
Exit Warning: If an "SE" (Seller Exhaustion) label appears, consider tightening stops or taking profit.

Candle 2 Closure [LuxAlgo]The Candle 2 Closure tool detects a specific reversal pattern on the chart spanning four bars. The first bar trades into a key price level. The second bar trades outside the first bar's range, but closes inside, indicating a reversal. The third bar closes outside the second bar's range, in the direction of the reversal, creating a price expansion. The fourth bar is a continuation of prices in that same direction.
This tool features key levels, equilibrium zones, and real-time alarms upon confirmation of the second and third candles of the pattern.
This specific part of the more complete Fractal model by TTrades was requested by a lot of you. We are happy to bring it to you and wish you a merry Christmas!
🔶 USAGE
This pattern is a TTrades concept: a reversal setup that is very easy to understand. It occurs when the current bar trades outside of the previous bar's range, but closes inside it. In other words, traders try to push prices outside of the previous bar's range, but fail. This is considered a reversal, meaning that traders encountered opposing forces that overwhelmed them. Thus, the expectation is that prices will trade in the new direction, changing the market bias from bullish to bearish, or vice versa.
Let's look at the example in the chart, where the four candles of this setup are marked. Note that we have selected a perfect setup, where all conditions are met.
Candle 1: This bar traded into a key price area at the top of the range, spanning several months.
Candle 2: This bar traded outside the range of Candle 1, but failed to close outside. This is the reversal.
Candle 3: The wick of this bar formed at or below the equilibrium zone of Candle 2, and it closed outside the range of Candle 2. This is the expansion.
Candle 4: At this point, the setup is complete, and the expectation for this candle is that it will trade in the same direction. The top of the candle is at or below the equilibrium zone of Candle 3. This is the continuation.
In a strong setup, the top or bottom of the next bar will form inside the equilibrium zone defined by the highlighted areas on candles 2 and 3.
This is a perfect bearish setup, featuring all elements. Not all setups will be like this, but when this setup occurs, it is important for traders to be aware of it.
The tool is highly customizable from the settings panel and features real-time alerts at candle 2 and 3 confirmations.
Now, let's take a broader view of the same chart. We have disabled the display of candle 2 and filtered the setups with a length of 50.
As we can see, most of the last 17 setups found on the EUR/USD daily chart lead to multi-day or multi-month price movements.
🔹 Filtering Reversals
The tool features a reversals filter that is disabled by default. This filter allows us to filter out minor reversals and display only those that are important.
Traders can adjust the length parameter to display reversals only at the top or bottom of the last N specified bars. We can see some examples in the chart.
🔹 Wick Threshold
From the settings panel, traders can fine-tune the equilibrium zone for candle 2.
If the wick exceeds the threshold expressed as a percentage of the total bar range, the equilibrium zone will be calculated based only on the wick. In all other cases, the full bar range will be used.
🔶 SETTINGS
Candle 2 (Reversal): Enable or disable Candle 2 reversals.
Candle 3 (Expansion): Enable or disable Candle 3 expansions.
Reversals Filter: Filter reversals as the highest or lowest of the last N bars.
Wick Threshold %: Filter wicks as percentage of total bar range.
🔹 Style
Bullish Color: Select bullish color.
Bearish Color: Select bearish color.
Transparency: Select the transparency level. 0 is solid and 100 is fully transparent.
Levels: Enable or disable the horizontal levels.
Candle 2 Zone: Enable or disable the Candle 2 equilibrium zones.
Candle 3 Zone: Enable or disable the Candle 3 equilibrium zones.
🔹 Alerts
Candle 2 Alerts: Enable or disable Candle 2 alerts.
Candle 3 Alerts: Enable or disable Candle 3 alerts.
Diagonal Interest Zones ScannerThis indicator automatically scans and plots diagonal (slanted) interest zones – dynamic trend-parallel channels that identify statistically validated support/resistance levels within a trending price structure. It detects the strongest "bounce" zones where price has repeatedly respected slanted lines without breaking for a specified hold period, ideal for trending markets.
How It Works (Technical Methodology)
Trend Channel Detection
The script calculates a linear trend slope from a user-defined anchor point (start of lookback or fixed date) to the current close.
Range is determined by finding the maximum deviation above/below this trend line over the lookback period.
This creates a "channel envelope" capturing the full price oscillation around the trend.
Data can be sourced from current or higher timeframe for structural alignment.
Stable Update Mechanism
To prevent flickering on live bars:
Full recalculation (scanning + slope) occurs only after user-defined "Update Frequency" bars close (default 50).
All calculated values (slope, channel bottom, levels, scores) are "snapshotted" and frozen until next confirmed update.
Drawing uses these stable snapshots, ensuring zones remain fixed during real-time price movement.
Auto Mode Scanning
When enabled:
Scans the channel height in percentage steps (default 1.0%).
Each candidate creates a thin diagonal zone (thickness % of price, default 0.04%) parallel to the trend.
Counts valid "hits": Price touches zone and holds (no break) for user-defined bars (default 10).
Break source: "Close" (strict) or "Wick" (sensitive).
Direction assumed by close relative to zone center (support/resistance).
Level Selection and Filtering
Ranks by hit count, applies minimum distance (% of channel height) to avoid overlap.
Limits to max zones (default 9), sorted low to high.
Manual mode alternative: Directly uses input percentages (e.g., 0, 50, 100 for channel bottom/mid/top).
Diagonal Zone Construction
Zones are drawn as filled diagonal bands using two parallel lines (top/bottom) with linefill.
Thickness is volatility-adjusted (% of current price).
Optional extension far into future or limited projection.
Colors: Supply (above price, default light gray), Demand (below price, default cyan) – updates live but positions stay stable.
Dashboard and Visuals
Table shows current price at each zone (stable during bar), % level, hit count (green if high).
Update countdown displayed for transparency.
How to Use
Perfect for trending markets – identifies dynamic, parallel support/resistance zones that move with price structure.
High hit counts: Strong diagonal zones – expect bounces or acceleration on retest.
Update Frequency: Higher values (100+) for very stable long-term channels; lower for adaptive intraday.
Validation Bars: Increase for stricter zones (fewer false positives).
Multi-Timeframe: Use higher TF input for major trend channels on lower charts.
Supply Zones (Diagonal above price): Dynamic resistance – potential shorts or profit targets.
Demand Zones (Diagonal below price): Dynamic support – potential longs or trailing stops.
Manual Mode: Quick plotting of fixed % (e.g., channel median, quartiles).
Confluence: Combine with horizontal levels, volume, or order flow for entries.
Zones remain visually stable (no repainting during bar) thanks to snapshot logic – reliable for live trading decisions.

UM Premarket Volume DashboardSUMMARY
Do you track the largest percent movers in the premarket?
Instantly compare current premarket volume to its recent average with built-in trend confirmation.
⸻
DESCRIPTION
This indicator is a compact premarket intelligence dashboard that combines live volume analysis with adaptive trend detection. It highlights unusually strong premarket activity while confirming directional bias using either a Nadaraya–Watson Estimator (NWE) or traditional moving averages.
The goal is to quickly identify symbols that are both active and aligned with trend before the regular trading session begins.
⸻
HOW IT WORKS
• Calculates average daily volume using a 50-day rolling average
• Tracks live premarket volume between 04:00–09:30 (exchange time)
• Computes a rolling average of prior premarket sessions and blends in the current day’s partial premarket volume in real time
• Highlights premarket volume in dark green when it exceeds both a user-defined threshold and the rolling premarket average
• Determines bullish or bearish trend status using a selectable method:
• Nadaraya–Watson Estimator (NWE)
• EMA, WMA, or SMA
• Trend status is based on directional slope (current value vs prior bar)
• Displays percent gain from the previous regular-session close (4:00pm ET)
• Shows total shares outstanding for quick liquidity context (when available)
⸻
DEFAULT SETTINGS
• Trend Method: Nadaraya–Watson Estimator (NWE)
• NWE Lookback Window (h): 8
• NWE Relative Weighting (r): 8
• Regression Length: 120 bars
• Premarket Average Days: 10
• Premarket Green Volume Threshold: 50,000 shares
• Average Daily Volume: 50-day SMA
• Trend Source: Close
⸻
SUGGESTED SETTINGS AND USES
• Use the default NWE settings for smoother, adaptive trend confirmation, especially on lower timeframes (1–5 minute charts) during premarket
• Switch to EMA or WMA if you prefer faster trend flips or want behavior consistent with MA-based systems
• Increase the Premarket Volume Threshold for large-cap stocks or ETFs to reduce noise
• Decrease the threshold for small-cap stocks to surface early momentum names
Ideal for:
• Premarket gap scanners
• Momentum continuation setups
• Liquidity confirmation before market open
• Building dynamic watchlists for the opening bell
This indicator is best used as a filtering and confirmation tool, not as a standalone entry signal.
Big Trades / Intrabar Volume Clusters by HKDescription:
This indicator brings professional Order Flow and Footprint capabilities to your chart. It detects and visualizes high-volume trade clusters inside the candle, allowing you to see exactly at which price level big market participants were active.
Unlike standard volume bars, this tool uses Intrabar Data to map significant buying and selling pressure precisely within the candle body.
ℹ️ IMPORTANT: Resolution Setting (Read First) To ensure this indicator works immediately for all users (including Free/Basic accounts), the default resolution is set to "1 Minute".
Basic/Free Users: Please keep the setting at "1" (Second-based intervals often require a paid plan).
Premium Users: For the best precision and the exact look shown in the screenshots, we highly recommend changing the Resolution setting to "5S" (5 Seconds)!
🚀 Key Features
Intrabar Precision: Leverages request.security_lower_tf to look inside the candle structure.
Noise Filtering: Only displays clusters that exceed your defined Minimum Volume threshold, filtering out retail noise.
Smart Coloring:
Green: Buying pressure (Close >= Open on the lower timeframe).
Red: Selling pressure (Close < Open on the lower timeframe).
🆕 Independent Sizing: A unique feature: You can control the Font Size and Circle Size independently.
This allows for small, non-intrusive circles with large, readable text.
⚙️ Settings
Resolution: Default is 1 (Minute). Premium users should switch to 5S for true order flow precision.
Minimum Volume: The most important filter. Determines how large a trade cluster must be to appear (e.g., 150+ for ETH, higher for BTC).
Visuals: Customize Buy/Sell colors, Circle Size, and Text Size separately.
⚠️ Visual Tip (If text is hidden)
If the bubbles or numbers appear behind the candles or disappear when clicking away:
Right-click on any of the indicator bubbles.
Select Visual Order -> Bring to Front.
This ensures the Big Trades data always floats on top of your price bars.
Wickless Candle Revisit TrackerWickless Candle Revisit Tracker
Identifies wickless candles (strong momentum candles) and tracks whether price revisits their opening level, providing statistical insights into price behavior patterns.
WHAT ARE WICKLESS CANDLES?
• Green wickless: Open = Low (no lower wick) - opened at the low and moved only upward
• Red wickless: Open = High (no upper wick) - opened at the high and moved only downward
These candles represent strong directional momentum, and their opening levels often act as support/resistance zones that price may revisit.
KEY FEATURES:
• Automatic Detection: Identifies wickless candles with configurable tolerance for broker spread
• Real-time Tracking: Monitors each wickless candle until price revisits its opening level
• Visual Indicators:
- Labels show "WL↑" or "WL↓" with bars count when revisited (or "N/A" if pending)
- Horizontal lines mark price levels (gray dashed = pending, green solid = revisited)
• Comprehensive Statistics Table:
- Total wickless candles detected
- Revisit rate percentage
- Min/Max/Average bars until revisit
- Pending count
• History Limit: Configure how far back to analyze (default: 500 bars)
• Customizable: Adjust colors, toggle labels/lines/table, reposition statistics
USE CASES:
• Identify potential support/resistance levels from momentum candles
• Measure how often price fills "fair value gaps" or inefficiencies
• Track mean reversion patterns after strong momentum moves
• Backtest the reliability of wickless candle levels as trading zones
SETTINGS:
• Wick Tolerance: Allow small wicks due to broker spread (e.g., 0.0001 for forex)
• History Limit: Number of bars to analyze (older candles are hidden)
• Visual Controls: Toggle labels, lines, and statistics table
• Color Customization: Adjust line colors for pending/revisited states
ALERTS:
Built-in alerts for wickless candle detection (green, red, or both).
Perfect for traders analyzing price inefficiencies, fair value gaps, and momentum-based support/resistance levels.
Interest Zones ScannerThis indicator automatically scans a user-defined price range (on current or higher timeframe) to detect and plot the strongest horizontal support/resistance zones based on validated price reactions. It intelligently identifies levels where price has repeatedly bounced without breaking for a specified number of bars, prioritizing high-probability reaction areas.
How It Works (Technical Methodology)
Range Calculation
The script determines the high/low range using a configurable method:
"Lookback Bars": User-defined number of bars (default 400) on the target timeframe.
"Fixed Start Date": Bars since a specified date (default dynamic).
Data is fetched via request.security() from a selectable timeframe (default current chart TF) for multi-timeframe alignment.
Auto Mode Scanning
When enabled:
Scans the entire range in small percentage steps (default 1.0%, adjustable down to 0.5%).
For each potential level, creates a thin volatility-adjusted zone (height % of price, default 0.07%).
Counts "valid hits": Instances where price touches the zone and holds (no break) for user-defined bars (default 10).
Break detection: Configurable "Close" (strict) or "Wick" (sensitive).
Assumes support/resistance direction based on close relative to zone center.
Level Selection and Filtering
Ranks candidates by hit count (highest first).
Applies minimum distance filter (% apart, default 8%) to avoid clustering.
Limits to user-defined max zones (default 9) for clean display.
Sorts final zones from low to high price.
Manual Mode Alternative
When auto disabled: Directly uses user-input percentages (e.g., classic Fibo levels like 23.6, 50, 61.8) applied to the range – no validation/scoring.
Zone Construction
Horizontal boxes centered on validated levels, with dynamic height (% of price).
Colored by position: Supply (above close, default light gray), Demand (below close, default cyan).
Optional full extension (both sides) or right-only.
Labeled with percentage from range low.
Dashboard and Visuals
Table (positionable) shows:
% Level, Exact Price, Hit Count (green if >3).
Header with validation details and lookback info.
Vertical line marks range start for reference.
How to Use
This scanner excels at finding statistically validated horizontal zones where price has shown respect – ideal for support/resistance, mean reversion, or breakout setups.
Auto Mode: Best for discovering hidden/non-obvious levels. Higher hit counts = stronger zones (expect reactions/retests).
Validation Bars: Increase (e.g., 20+) for stricter, higher-quality zones in trending markets; lower for more sensitive detection.
Min Distance: Higher % for fewer, separated zones; lower for denser grids.
Multi-Timeframe: Set target TF higher (e.g., Daily) for major structural levels on lower charts.
Supply Zones (Above Price): Potential resistance – shorts or take-profits.
Demand Zones (Below Price): Potential support – longs or stops below.
Confluence: Combine with volume, order blocks, or fibo for entries. Watch for multiple hits + confluence.
Manual Mode: Quick plotting of custom % (e.g., fibo retracements/extensions).
Fine-tune scan step smaller for precision (slower on large lookbacks) or larger for speed.

RSI Ladder TP Strategy v1.0 Overview
This strategy is an RSI-based reversal entry system with a ladder-style take-profit mechanism.
It supports Long-only, Short-only, or Both directions and provides optional Average Entry Price, Stop Loss, and Take Profit reference lines on the chart.
Entry Rules
Long Entry: RSI crosses above the Oversold level (default: 20).
Short Entry: RSI crosses below the Overbought level (default: 80).
Optional: If enabled, the script will close the current position when an opposite signal appears before opening a new one.
Exit Rules (Ladder Take Profit)
Take profit is placed as a ladder using tpLevels and tpStepPct.
Example (default tpStepPct = 1%, tpLevels = 10):
TP1 at +1%, TP2 at +2%, … TP10 at +10% (relative to current average entry price).
Each TP level closes tpClosePct of the remaining position, meaning it scales out geometrically:
If tpClosePct = 50% → remaining position becomes 50%, then 25%, then 12.5%, etc.
Stop Loss
Optional stop loss is placed at slPct (%) away from the average entry price:
Long: avg * (1 - slPct%)
Short: avg * (1 + slPct%)
Visual Lines
Average Entry Price Line: current strategy.position_avg_price
Stop Loss Line: based on slPct
Next TP Line: shows the estimated next TP level based on current profit%
All TP Lines: optional (can clutter the chart)
==============================================================
Recommended Use
This strategy is best used on markets with strong mean-reversion behavior.
For exchanges/bots that do not support hedge mode in a single strategy, run two separate instances:

TradingView Alert Adapter for AlgoWayTRALADAL is a universal TradingView alert adapter designed for traders who work with indicators and want to test and automate indicator-based signals in a structured way.
It allows users to convert indicator outputs into a TradingView strategy and forward the same logic through alerts for multi-platform execution via AlgoWay.
This script can be used as TradingView indicator automation, enabling traders to build a TradingView strategy from indicators and route TradingView alerts through an AlgoWay connector TradingView workflow for multi-platform execution.
Why this adapter is needed
Most TradingView indicators are not available as strategies.
Traders often receive visual signals or alerts but have no access to objective statistics such as win rate, drawdown, or profit factor.
This adapter solves that problem by providing a generic framework that transforms indicator signals into a backtestable strategy — without modifying indicator code and without requiring Pine Script knowledge.
Input source–based design (including closed indicators)
All conditions in TRALADAL are built using input sources, which means you can connect:
Event-based signals (1 / non-zero values, arrows, shapes)
Indicator lines and values (EMA, VWAP, RSI, MACD, etc.)
Outputs from invite-only or closed-source indicators
If an indicator produces a visible signal or alert-compatible output, it can be evaluated and tested using this adapter, even when the source code is locked.
Three-level signal logic
The strategy uses a three-layer condition model commonly applied in discretionary and systematic trading:
Signal — primary entry trigger
Confirmation — directional validation
Filter — additional noise reduction
Each level can be enabled independently and combined using AND / OR logic, allowing traders to test multi-indicator systems without writing complex scripts.
Risk management and alert execution
The adapter supports practical risk parameters:
Stop Loss (pips)
Take Profit (pips)
Trailing Stop (pips)
Two execution modes are available:
Strategy Mode — risk rules are applied inside the TradingView Strategy Tester
Alert Mode — risk parameters are embedded into structured TradingView alerts and handled by AlgoWay during execution
Position sizing follows TradingView conventions (percent of equity, cash, or contracts) to keep strategy results and alerts aligned.
Typical use cases
This TradingView alert adapter is intended for:
Indicator-based trading systems
Backtesting signals from closed or invite-only scripts
Comparing multiple indicators within a single strategy
Sending TradingView alerts to external trading platforms via AlgoWay
The adapter does not generate signals or trading recommendations.
Its purpose is to provide a transparent and testable workflow from indicator signals to TradingView alerts and automated execution.
VIX Percentile OscillatorWhat is this script?
This is a trading tool that helps you decide when to buy or sell options based on market volatility. Think of it as a "fear meter" for the stock market.
What is VIX?
VIX = Volatility Index (also called the "fear index")
When VIX is HIGH → Market is scared/volatile → Options are EXPENSIVE
When VIX is LOW → Market is calm → Options are CHEAP
What does "Percentile" mean?
Instead of just showing VIX price, this script shows where VIX is compared to history.
Example: If VIX Percentile = 85%
This means VIX is higher than 85% of all past readings
Only 15% of the time was VIX higher than now
Translation: Volatility is unusually HIGH
The 5 Trading Zones
The script divides the market into 5 zones:
🔴 EXTREME SELLING ZONE (90-100%)
VIX is in the top 10% historically
Action: AGGRESSIVELY SELL OPTIONS (collect big premiums)
Market panic = expensive options = profit for sellers
🟠 SELLING ZONE (80-89%)
VIX is elevated but not extreme
Action: SELL OPTIONS (good premiums available)
⚪ NEUTRAL ZONE (20-79%)
VIX is normal
Action: WAIT or use other strategies
🟢 BUYING ZONE (10-19%)
VIX is low
Action: BUY OPTIONS (they're cheap)
🟢 EXTREME BUYING ZONE (0-9%)
VIX is in the bottom 10% historically
Action: AGGRESSIVELY BUY OPTIONS (bargain prices)
Market complacency = cheap options = opportunity
Understanding the Chart
Main Line (Blue/Red/Green):
Shows current VIX percentile
Color changes based on zone
Thick line = easy to see
Histogram (Background bars):
Red bars = above 50% (high volatility)
Green bars = below 50% (low volatility)
Purple Momentum Line:
Shows if VIX is rising or falling
Helps you catch trends early
Background Colors:
Light red/orange = Selling zones
Light green = Buying zones
Triangle Markers:
Appear when entering new zones
"EXTREME" label = strongest signals
The Statistics Table (Top Right)
VIX Price: Current VIX value (e.g., 16.50)
Percentile: Where VIX ranks (0-100%)
Z-Score: Statistical measure
Above +2 or below -2 = extreme
Red text = unusually high/low
Momentum: Rate of change
Red = rising (volatility increasing)
Green = falling (volatility decreasing)
Avg VIX: Average VIX over lookback period
Current Zone: Which zone you're in right now
Bars in Zone: How long you've been in this zone
Simple Trading Rules
FOR OPTION SELLERS (Premium Collectors):
✅ SELL when: Percentile > 80% (especially > 90%)
High premiums available
Examples: Sell covered calls, cash-secured puts, credit spreads
FOR OPTION BUYERS (Hedgers/Speculators):
✅ BUY when: Percentile < 20% (especially < 10%)
Cheap options available
Examples: Buy protective puts, long calls, debit spreads
Key Settings You Can Adjust
Lookback Period (default: 252)
How far back to compare (252 = 1 year of trading days)
Longer = smoother, more stable
Shorter = more sensitive to recent changes
Smoothing Period (default: 3)
Reduces noise/wiggling
Higher = smoother line
Lower = more responsive
Zone Thresholds:
Extreme Sell: 90%
Sell: 80%
Buy: 20%
Extreme Buy: 10%
You can customize these!
Real-World Example
Scenario: VIX Percentile jumps to 92%
What this means:
VIX is higher than 92% of all past readings
Market is in panic mode
Option premiums are INFLATED
Trading Action:
✅ Sell covered calls on stocks you own
✅ Sell cash-secured puts on stocks you want to buy
✅ Sell credit spreads
❌ DON'T buy expensive options right now
Why it works: When fear is extreme, it usually calms down eventually. You profit as premiums deflate.
Important Reminders
⚠️ This is a TIMING tool, not a crystal ball
It tells you WHEN premiums are expensive/cheap
It doesn't tell you WHICH options to trade
You still need proper risk management
⚠️ Works on ALL timeframes
Daily charts = swing trading
Weekly charts = position trading
Intraday charts = day trading volatility
⚠️ Best for:
Option sellers during high VIX (>80%)
Option buyers during low VIX (<20%)
Portfolio hedging decisions
Volatility trading strategies
Bottom Line: This script helps you buy options when they're cheap and sell options when they're expensive. It's like shopping for sales, but for volatility!

Supertrend + EMA + DWMY + Session Stats
This script is a comprehensive Multi-Strategy Intraday & Swing Trading Toolkit. It merges four professional-grade indicators into a single, optimized "all-in-one" script for TradingView (Pine Script v6).
The goal of this combined tool is to provide Trend Confluence (using EMAs and Supertrend), Key Support/Resistance Levels (using DWMY Opens), and Timing Analysis (using Sessions).
Core Components & Functionality
1. Supertrend (Volatility-Based Trend)
What it does: Uses the Average True Range (ATR) to track market volatility and determine trend direction.
Visuals: Plots a line that turns Green (Uptrend) or Red (Downtrend) with a gradient background fill to highlight the current "regime."
Usage: It acts as a primary filter. You generally look for "Buy" setups when the price is above the Green line and "Sell" setups when below the Red line.
2. Michael’s EMA (Momentum Crossover)
What it does: Tracks two Exponential Moving Averages (defaults are 12 and 21) to find momentum shifts.
Visuals: The EMA lines change color based on the trend. When the small EMA crosses the big EMA, it triggers Crossover Arrows (hidden by default in some versions but available in the code).
Usage: Used for precise entry timing. A "Golden Cross" (small above big) confirms bullish momentum.
3. DWMY Labelled Opens (Institutional Levels)
What it does: Automatically plots horizontal lines at the exact price where the Day, Week, Month, and Year began.
Visuals: Color-coded horizontal lines with labels (e.g., "Daily," "Monthly") that extend to the right of the chart.
Usage: These are "Institutional Reference Points." Traders use these levels because the market often reacts strongly (bounces or breaks) when price returns to a Monthly or Yearly open.
4. Sessions with Stats (Timing & Volatility)
What it does: Draws dynamic "range boxes" for specific trading hours like the London Open, NY Open, or Tokyo Session.
Visuals: Shaded boxes that highlight the High and Low of that specific time window.
Percentage Stats: (Added per your request) A label on top of each box shows the session name and the Percentage Move (e.g., +0.50%) from the start of the session to the current price.
Usage: Helps you see which sessions are the most volatile and identify "Initial Balance" breakouts.
Fractal Swing Levels📊 Fractal Swing Levels — Indicator Description
Fractal Swing Levels is a lightweight, visual indicator that plots historical swing high and swing low reference levels using Williams Fractal logic. The indicator helps traders visually identify areas where price previously formed confirmed pivots. These levels can be used as contextual reference zones when analyzing price structure and market behavior.
🔍 What the Indicator Does
Detects confirmed swing highs and swing lows using a configurable fractal length. Draws horizontal levels at those swing points. Extends the levels to the right for ongoing visual reference. Limits the number of displayed levels to keep the chart clean
🎨 Visual Elements
Red lines represent historical swing high levels
Green lines represent historical swing low levels
These lines are drawn only after fractal confirmation and represent past price structure, not future projections.
⚙️ Settings Explained
Fractal Length : Controls how significant a swing must be to qualify as a level.
Higher values → fewer, more prominent levels
Lower values → more frequent levels
Max Levels Per Side : Limits how many swing high and swing low levels are displayed at one time, helping reduce chart clutter.
📈 How to Use
Use the levels as visual reference points for structure analysis. Combine with trend tools, moving averages, or other technical indicators. Useful across intraday, swing, and positional timeframes. This indicator is best used as a contextual aid, not as a standalone decision tool.
⚠️ Important Notes
This is a visual analysis tool only. It does not generate buy or sell signals. It does not predict future price movement. Levels are based solely on confirmed historical price data
🎯 Summary
Fractal Swing Levels provides a clean and minimal way to visualize historical swing structure on the chart, helping traders better understand where price has previously reacted.
HTF Accumulation Distribution Zones (Analysis)📌 Indicator Name

This indicator highlights potential accumulation and distribution contexts on the price chart using a combination of volume behavior, volatility (ATR), momentum, and VWAP positioning.The script is designed to help traders understand market participation and positioning, especially on higher intraday and swing timeframes, where institutional activity tends to leave clearer footprints.
🔍 What the indicator shows
ACC (Accumulation) : Marks areas where controlled buying activity may be present, identified through:
Strong candle structure relative to volatility
Healthy or controlled volume participation
Improving momentum within defined ranges
DIST (Distribution) : Marks areas where selling pressure may be emerging, identified through:
Price stretching away from VWAP
Weakening momentum
Strong bearish candle structure

Trend Regime Bands (EMA 50 / 150 / 200)📘 Trend Regime Bands – EMA 50·150·200
Overview
Trend Regime Bands is a visual trend-context indicator designed to help users quickly understand whether the market is in a bullish or bearish regime. The indicator uses the alignment of EMA 50, EMA 150, and EMA 200 to determine overall trend direction, while additional EMAs are used only to create color-based bands for visual context. No buy or sell signals are generated.
How Trend Direction Is Determined
Trend direction is derived exclusively from the relative positioning of: EMA 50 (short-term trend) , EMA 150 (medium-term trend) , EMA 200 (long-term trend) . Bullish regime: EMA 50 ≥ EMA 150 ≥ EMA 200 . Bearish regime: EMA 50 < EMA 150 < EMA 200. These three EMAs act as the decision framework for the indicator.
What the Color Bands Represent : The indicator displays two visual bands on the chart:
Fast Band (Momentum Context) - Built using faster EMAs, Represents short-term momentum and pullback behavior. Brighter color intensity reflects stronger momentum
Slow Band (Regime Context) - Built using slower EMAs. Represents broader trend structure and regime stability.Deeper color intensity reflects stronger trend alignment
The color of both bands follows the trend direction determined by EMA 50/150/200:
Green shades indicate a bullish regime. Red shades indicate a bearish regime. Color intensity increases or decreases smoothly based on trend strength.
How to Use This Indicator
Use the bands to understand market context, not as entry or exit signals. Strong, bright bands suggest a well-established trend. Lighter bands indicate weaker or transitioning trends. The indicator works across intraday, swing, and higher timeframes. This tool is best used alongside price action, support/resistance, or other confirmation methods.
Important Notes
This indicator does not provide buy or sell signals. It does not predict future price movement. It is intended solely as a visual trend-regime and context tool
Summary
Trend Regime Bands offers a clean, distraction-free way to visualize bullish and bearish market regimes using EMA structure and color intensity, helping traders maintain directional awareness and discipline.

Supply & Demand Zones (Volume-Based)📌 Supply & Demand Zones (Volume-Based) — Indicator Description
Overview
This indicator visually highlights potential supply and demand price zones using historical candle structure combined with relative volume behavior.The zones are intended to help users observe areas of increased market activity where price has previously reacted. This tool is designed for visual analysis only.
How the Zones Are Identified
Demand zones are highlighted when price shows a strong bullish reaction following a bearish candle.Supply zones are highlighted when price shows a strong bearish reaction following a bullish candle.Relative volume is used as context, not as a predictive input, to classify zones into higher or lower activity levels.Zones automatically invalidate when price structurally breaks them.
About the Percentage Display
The percentage shown on a zone represents normalized relative volume strength at the time the zone was formed.This value is not a probability, not a success rate, and not a performance metric.It should not be interpreted as a prediction or trading signal.Percentages are displayed only for active zones and are removed once a zone is invalidated.
How This Indicator Is Intended to Be Used
As a visual reference tool for identifying historical supply and demand areas.As a contextual overlay alongside other forms of technical analysis.To observe how price behaves when revisiting previously active zones.This indicator does not suggest trade direction, entry timing, or exit levels.
Important Notes & Limitations
All zones are derived from historical price and volume data.Market conditions change, and historical zones may lose relevance over time.No trading decisions should be made based solely on this indicator.Users are encouraged to apply their own analysis and risk management.
