PFA_PahadiPFA Pahadi Indicator
Market Structure through Swing Triangles
What is the PFA Pahadi Indicator?
The **PFA Pahadi Indicator** is a *price-structure visualization tool* that converts raw market movement into a series of **connected swing triangles**. By linking **Pivot Low → Pivot High → Pivot Low** and additionally connecting the **bases (Low → Low)**, the indicator visually resembles a *mountain (pahadi) range*—hence the name.
It focuses purely on **market structure**, not prediction, helping traders and analysts understand how price is *actually climbing, resting, and declining* over time.
Key Benefits
• Clear Market Structure
The indicator highlights **higher highs, higher lows, lower highs, and lower lows** in a clean, uncluttered way, making trend identification intuitive even on higher timeframes.
• Noise Reduction
By relying only on **confirmed pivots**, minor fluctuations are filtered out. This helps traders avoid reacting to short-term volatility and focus on meaningful swings.
• Visual Trend Strength Assessment
The *slope and shape* of the triangles reveal whether the trend is:
* Expanding (strong trend)
* Contracting (distribution / accumulation)
* Flattening (range / base building)
• Excellent for Positional & Swing Trading
Works particularly well on **weekly and daily charts**, where price structure matters more than intraday noise.
• No Repainting
All lines are drawn only after pivot confirmation. Once plotted, the structure does **not change retroactively**, ensuring analytical integrity.
• Complements Moving Averages & Volume
When combined with long-term averages or volume trends, the PFA Pahadi Indicator helps identify:
* Healthy pullbacks
* Structural breakdowns
* Failed rallies
Practical Use-Cases
• Trend Continuation Analysis
Higher base lines (Low → Low) indicate sustained accumulation and trend continuation.
• Structural Weakness Detection
Flattening or declining bases despite new highs may indicate **distribution** or **trend exhaustion**.
• Long-Term Support Mapping
The connected bases often act as *dynamic structural support zones* rather than exact price levels.
Limitations
• Not a Timing Indicator
The PFA Pahadi Indicator does **not provide entry or exit signals** on its own. It is a *context tool*, not a trigger.
• Lag Due to Confirmation
Because pivots require confirmation, the structure appears **after the move has occurred**. This is intentional for accuracy but unsuitable for scalping.
• Sensitive to Pivot Length Settings
Short pivot lengths may create too many triangles; longer lengths may miss smaller but tradable swings.
• Works Best in Trending Markets
In sideways or choppy conditions, the structure may appear flat and less informative.
Disclaimer
The PFA Pahadi Indicator is a market structure visualization tool and does not constitute investment advice, trading recommendations, or a guarantee of future performance. It is designed for educational and analytical purposes only.
All market decisions should be taken in conjunction with other tools such as volume analysis, risk management rules, broader market context, and individual financial suitability. Past price structures do not ensure future outcomes. Users are advised to validate the indicator across multiple securities and timeframes before applying it in live trading.
Philosophy Behind the Name
Markets don’t move in straight lines. They climb, pause, retrace, and climb again—just like a pahadi path. This indicator simply helps you see that path clearly.
MACD Box V6.3 (Right Labels)Using the dual MACD indicator, identify the range formed by high-volume MACD candlesticks. Then, use fractals formed by three or five candlesticks to identify trends formed by two consecutive fractals.

Probability-Based Adaptive Detection🙏🏻 PBAD (Probability-Based Adaptive Detection) : adaptive control tool for outliers || novelty detection, made for worst case data & processes, for the highest time complexity O(n^2) compared with the alternatives (would be explained in a sec). Thresholds are completely data driven and axiomatic, no need in provided hyperparameters, are not learned or optimized. The method accepts multiple weights, e.g. both temporal and volatility weights.
Method briefly explained (I can go deeper if any1 asks explicitly):
Performs weighted KDE on initial input data, finds KDE global maximum (mode), creates new “residuals” dataset by centering initial data around this value;
Performs weighted KDE on residuals, uses sigmoid based probability mass targets with increasing probability coverage to construct a set of non-disjoint High Density Intervals (also called HDR, HPD in Bayesian terms);
Uses these intervals to calculate analogs of centralized & standardized moments;
Uses these ^^ moments to construct a set of control thresholds. The scheme used in PBAD is not only based on a central threshold, or on neighboring ones, it utilizes all previous thresholds, gaining more information.
...
The most important part is to understand whether you really need PBAD. Because even tho it seems to be the best one given highest algocomplexity, irl it would work worse in cases when it’s not required by your data.
Here’s the menu (aka taxonomy omg) of methods you can use that would let you make the right choice:
Moment-Based Adaptive Detection (MBAD) :
Norm: L2
Time complexity: original O(n), successfully reduced to O(1) in online version
Use case: default, general purpose
Based on: method of moments (powers of residuals from mean)
Thresholds architecture: centralized
Quantile-Based Adaptive Detection (QBAD):
Norm: L1
Time complexity: O(nlogn)
Use case: either bad data Or process instability
Based on: quantile moments (dyadic percentiles of residuals from median)
Thresholds architecture: chained/recursive/sequential
Probability-Based Adaptive Detection (PBAD):
Norm: L0
Time complexity: O(n^2)
Use case: both bad data And process instability
Based on: probability moments (target probability masses of residuals from KDE mode)
Thresholds architecture: decentralized (for lack of a better name xd, the idea is that these thresholds gain information from the all other threshold and are Not exclusively based on the central or neighboring thresholds)
...
Examples of true use cases:
^^ an appropriate financial instrument to use PBAD
^^ and another one
...
Additional details about how to use it:
Keep the student5 kernel, it’s the best you can do. I added others mostly for comparisons and if you want to use the tool Not for its primary purpose (on a fine data)
“Calculate for N bars” and “Starting at bar N” options allow to reduce calculation period only on the N number of last bars or next bars from a chosen one. It's vital, because calculations here are heavy
Keep plotting offset at 1 (allows to visually compare current bar with the previous threshold values). This is the way it should be done on price data.
HLC3 is the optimal source input, unless you want to use your own better one point estimate of each datapoint (in the best case done by using PBAD itself on OHLC+ values).
In essence it should be used just like MBAD or QBAD, fade/push extensions and limit, fade/push/skip deviations & basis, or other strategies of your. Again, the only reason for 3 methods to exist is to be chosen for according data characteristics.
Btw:
This is the initial version, I don’t consider it perfected tbh, even tho it works as expected, however this method is very situational anyways.
In this script KDE function is modified to ensure the outcoming probabilities Do sum up to 1. I didn’t do this normalization in Weighted KDE Mode script , but there it’s not required since we just need a KDE global max.
see ya

GC1! H1 Stats+GC1! H1 Stats - Detailed Prob & Excursion Indicator
Overview
GC1! H1 Stats - Detailed Prob & Excursion is a specialized statistical overlay indicator for TradingView, tailored for Gold futures (GC1!) on a 1-hour framework. It provides real-time insights into the probability of price returning to the hourly open after sweeping the previous hour’s high (PHH) or previous hour’s low (PHL), based on historical data segmented by hour (0–23) and 20-minute intervals. The indicator visualizes these sweeps with lines, labels, circles, background fills, and “excursion zones” (also called “Magic Boxes”) that highlight median/mean extensions post-sweep, along with percentile lines (75th / 90th / 95th) for gauging potential “pain” or extreme moves. This tool is designed for intraday Gold traders focusing on liquidity sweeps and mean-reversion behavior, helping to quantify edge using empirical probabilities and excursion statistics.
The data is hardcoded from extensive historical analysis of GC1! behavior (e.g., probabilities ranging roughly from ~7% to ~91%, with sample sizes up to 2000+ per segment), making it a backtested reference rather than a dynamic learning model. It emphasizes visual clarity during active hours, with options to filter for Regular Trading Hours (RTH: 09:00–15:59 ET) or high-probability (>70%) events only. Note: This is an educational tool for analyzing market structure; it does not predict future performance or provide trading signals/advice. Past data does not guarantee future results, and users should backtest on current conditions (as of December 2025 data availability) and use at their own risk, in compliance with TradingView’s house rules.
________________________________________
Key Features
• Sweep Detection & Probability Labels: Identifies when price breaks PHH (upside) or PHL (downside), displaying a centered label with probability of returning to the hourly open, sample size (N), time of sweep, and a checkmark (✅) if the open is retested post-sweep.
• Visual Lines & Markers: Draws hourly open (h.o.), PHH, and PHL lines with customizable styles/colors; adds small circles on sweep bars for quick spotting.
• Breakout→Open Background Fill: Shaded zone from sweep bar until price returns to open, visualizing extension duration and retracement.
• Excursion (Pain) Zone - “Magic Box”: Post-sweep box showing median/mean extension percentages, colored dynamically by probability (green high, orange mid, red low); includes dashed lines for 75th/90th/95th percentiles to mark statistical extremes.
• Time-Segmented Data: Probabilities and excursions vary by hour (0–23) and 20-min segments (0–19 min: _0, 20–39: _1, 40–59: _2), capturing intraday nuances (e.g., higher probs in early/late hours).
• Filters for Focus: RTH-only mode hides non-session elements; high-prob-only shows >70% events to reduce noise.
• Alerts: Triggers on PHH/PHL sweeps with messages for chart checks.
________________________________________
How It Works
• Data Foundation: Uses pre-computed maps for probabilities (prob_high_taken/prob_low_taken), sample sizes, and excursions (mean, median, p75/p90/p95 as percentages of open). Data is initialized on the first bar via f_init_high_data() and f_init_low_data(), covering 24 hours with 3 segments each (e.g., key "9_1" for 09:20–09:39). Probabilities represent historical likelihood of price returning to open after sweep; excursions quantify average/rare extensions (e.g., 0.156% mean = 0.156% of open price).
• Period Detection: On new 1H bars (new_period_bar), resets visuals, draws lines for open/PHH/PHL extending 1 hour forward, and labels if enabled. Uses request.security on standard ticker for real OHLC, bypassing chart transformations (e.g., Heikin Ashi).
• Sweep Logic: On each bar, checks if real high > PHH or real low < PHL. If so, fetches segment-specific data (hour + floor(minute/20)), displays probability label centered mid-hour. Skips if filtered (RTH-only or <70% prob).
• Excursion Visualization: If enabled, draws “Magic Box” from 1-min to 58-min into the hour, bounded by mean/median levels (top/bottom adjusted for high/low sweep). Adds percentile lines with labels (e.g., “75%”) at right end. Box color reflects prob strength for quick bias assessment.
• Retest Check: Monitors for open retest post-sweep (high/low cross open, or gap scenarios from prev bar). Adds ✅ to label if hit on subsequent bars (skips sweep bar to avoid false positives). Stops background fill on retest or at 58-min mark.
• Background Fill: Activates on sweep, shades until retest, using user color.
• Cleanup & Performance: Manages labels in arrays, clears on new periods; no excess drawing beyond max counts (500 lines/labels/boxes).
This setup blends statistical backtesting with real-time visualization: hardcoded data provides empirical probabilities/excursions (reducing subjectivity in breakouts), while dynamic elements (lines, fills, boxes) overlay structure on the chart. It helps Gold traders assess if a sweep is “high-edge” (e.g., >70% probability of reverting) or likely to run (low probability, high excursion), pairing historical context with current price action.

________________________________________
Usage Tips
• Breakout Trading: Watch for sweeps with high probability (>70%, green label) as potential fades back to open; low probability (red) may signal runs—use the excursion box for targets (e.g., exit at 90th percentile for extremes).
• Time Awareness: Probabilities often peak in key liquidity windows and drop in quieter hours; segments capture momentum shifts (e.g., _2 often lower prob).
• RTH Focus: Enable for cleaner stats during high-liquidity session hours; disable for a 24-hour view.
• Visual Filtering: Use high-prob-only in volatile conditions to reduce noise; combine with volume or other confluence tools for confirmation.
• Alerts Integration: Set TradingView alerts on sweeps; check label for probability/N before acting.
• Chart Setup: Best on 1H or lower GC1! charts; adjust text size for readability on smaller screens.
• Backtesting: Manually review historical sweeps against data maps to validate; update hardcoded values if new data emerges (as of 2025).
________________________________________
Limitations
• Fixed Data: Hardcoded stats may not reflect recent market changes (e.g., post-2025 regime shifts); not adaptive.
• Reactive Only: Detects sweeps after they occur; no predictive signals.
• Timeframe Specific: Locked to 1H logic; may not translate to other assets/timeframes without recoding data.
• Visual Clutter: On busy charts, labels/boxes may overlap—toggle selectively.
• No Live Stats: Sample sizes are historical; real-time N/prob not updated.
• Gaps & Extremes: Handles gaps in retest logic, but rare events (e.g., macro news) may exceed the 95th percentile.

It blends OBV and CVD into a structured heatmap with three lanes (OBV, CVD, and a blended COMBO) and splits each lane into two halves: flow pressure and price reaction (PriceΔ) . All values are normalised into the same range, so the intensity of each component is easy to compare at a glance.
In a simple sense, Pulsar Heatmap aims to provide a clean, integrated order-flow view: one framework that turns well-known volume concepts into a clearer read of market pressure and response. Personally, it feels like the kind of tool I would have always wanted on my chart, because it brings familiar information together into a more organic picture that is easier to use in real time.
Visually, the indicator is built around three main elements: the heatmap lanes , a pulsing triangle HUD , and a timed dashboard table . Under the hood, it follows a clear hierarchy: a Bias layer (directional context with a confidence percentage), a strict Signal layer (triggered only when full alignment occurs, with optional confirmation and stickiness), and optional timing logic based on ROC + Acceleration to validate impulses and highlight potential Exhaustion or Absorption regimes. With the option "Safe Mode" enabled, calculations update only on confirmed bars, so signals remain stable and do not repaint.
Optionally, the script can also print signal arrows/labels on the main chart only when a real Signal triggers (not when you only have Bias). To keep the chart clean, the same-direction label is not repeated unless the next signal appears at a more advantageous price than the previous one (for shorts: a higher price; for longs: a lower price). If the direction flips (SHORT → LONG or LONG → SHORT), label printing is re-enabled immediately.
What makes Pulsar Heatmap feel different is that it doesn’t leave you with two separate lines and a lot of guesswork. It organises the information into a readable decision map: pressure , response , agreement , disagreement , impulse , and timing . It was built with scalping in mind, but it’s not limited to scalping: the structure is useful whenever you want context first, and a strict trigger only when alignment is truly present.
Clean Trend Alignment (Ideal Continuation)
A “best case” scenario where flow and price response agree across lanes, so the system produces a high-confidence direction and a clean trigger. Show the heatmap with consistent colouring, the Bias band strong, and a confirmed signal/bias.
Setup 1 — Long Signal (Clean Alignment + Impulse)
In this example, Pulsar Heatmap transitions into a clear long setup when the system prints a LONG SIGNAL . The key idea is simple: the indicator does not enter on “bias” alone. It waits for full alignment across the internal lanes, optionally reinforced by the ROC/Acceleration impulse layer, and only then does it confirm a signal on a closed bar (Safe Mode).
What to highlight on the screenshot
The LONG SIGNAL label: this is the only moment the setup is considered “triggered”.
The LONG BIAS % label: this is context (direction + confidence), not the trigger.
The Triangle HUD : it visually summarises which component is driving the move (OBV/CVD/COMBO weight).
The Timed Table : show that Exhaustion is OFF while impulse metrics are supportive ( dynROC U and dynACC U positive).
If present, the Absorption state (e.g., ABS_LONG + “tight range”): it often appears during compression before expansion, and it adds context to why the breakout can accelerate.
How to read this long setup
Context : Bias is long (even if the % is not huge yet), and the system is not showing exhaustion.
Trigger : A LONG SIGNAL appears only after full alignment (with confirmation bars). If dynamic gating is enabled, the signal is valid only when the impulse agrees.
Quality checks : Positive dynROC and dynACC support the timing; absence of exhaustion reduces the risk of “late entry”. Absorption/tight range can indicate a “pressure build-up” phase.
Practical scalping execution (simple rule set)
Entry timing: consider the entry only on (or immediately after) the confirmed LONG SIGNAL candle.
Risk idea: invalidate the setup if the signal flips, or if price falls back into the compression/range that preceded the move (common absorption-breakout logic).
Exit clue: if Exhaustion turns ON or impulse weakens (acceleration flips), treat it as a warning to reduce exposure or take profit.
Setup 2 — Short Signal After Compression (Absorption → Release)
In this screenshot the short trade idea is not coming from “red candles” alone, but from a very specific sequence: the heatmap shows a shift into bearish alignment, the system prints a SHORT SIGNAL , and the timed module confirms that the market was in a tight range while sell pressure started to dominate.
What this image is really showing
You have a SHORT SIGNAL label on the chart: this is the trigger moment (not the bias).
The context reads SHORT BIAS 18% : it’s supportive, but the execution decision is driven by the signal.
The table shows Absorption = SHORT with a tight range (Range % is low): this often means price was compressed while one side kept applying pressure.
dyn metrics are negative ( dynROC U < 0 and dynACC U < 0): the impulse is coherent with the short direction, so the move is not just “random drift.”
How to read the heatmap here
Earlier, the lanes are mixed (more “two-sided”), then near the signal, the heatmap becomes decisively bearish. That change matters: it tells you the market stopped being balanced and started leaning in one direction with better internal coherence.
Why is this short “high quality” in scalping terms
Compression first : absorption/tight range means the market was storing energy.
Alignment next : the signal appears when the internal lanes agree.
Impulse last : negative ROC + negative acceleration support a real downside push, reducing the odds of a weak, slow fade.
Simple ensure-you-don’t-overtrade rule
Treat the SHORT SIGNAL as the only “go” moment. If you only see bias without signal, or the heatmap stays mixed/disagreeing, it’s usually a lower-quality scalp environment.
Disagreement Zone (Mixed Votes, Higher Risk) — A Practical Exit Area
In this screenshot, Pulsar Heatmap is clearly warning that the market is no longer “one-sided”. You can still see a directional context ( SHORT BIAS 11% ), but the key message is the DISAGREE tag: the reminder that the internal votes are split and the flow/price components are no longer moving in a clean, coherent way.
What this means in a trend continuation is very practical: a Disagreement Zone is often a good EXIT area . When you are already in a short trend, this is the moment where continuation becomes less reliable and where the market can start rotating, stalling, or snapping back.
Why it works as an exit trigger
In a healthy continuation, the lanes tend to stay aligned. Here they don’t: one or more halves contradict the dominant direction.
That loss of coherence typically shows up before the chart becomes obvious, so it can act as an early warning.
For scalping, this is where risk/reward often deteriorates: spreads, noise, and whipsaws increase exactly when the indicator starts disagreeing.
How to use it in a simple way
If you are already short , treat DISAGREE as a signal to take profit, tighten the stop, or scale out .
Avoid adding to the position inside disagreement: even if bias remains short, the internal structure is not “clean” enough to justify aggressive continuation entries.
If later the heatmap returns to full alignment and a new SHORT SIGNAL appears (ideally at a better price), then the continuation becomes actionable again.
“DISAGREE during a short continuation: coherence breaks down. In practice, this is often an exit/scale-out zone, not a fresh entry zone.”
Setup 3 — Neutral State (Stand-By Zone, No Trade Yet)
In the following screenshot, Pulsar Heatmap is doing something very important: it is clearly saying NEUTRAL 0% . Even if, visually, price could “look” like it might resume upward, the indicator is not providing a directional edge yet. This is a classic stand-by condition: the market is transitioning, and the internal components are not aligned enough to justify a directional scalp.
“Neutral 0%: mixed votes and no dominant driver. Even if the price looks promising, Pulsar stays in stand-by until bias rebuilds and a confirmed signal appears.”
What to highlight on the screenshot
The centre label NEUTRAL 0% : this is the key message—no bias strength worth following.
The heatmap is mixed/transitioning: lanes are not consistently one colour, meaning votes are not coherent.
The triangle HUD sits close to the centre: it visually reflects “no dominant driver” right now.
The table can still show background context (e.g., Absorption with a tight range), but that does not override neutrality: it’s information, not a trigger.
How to interpret “Neutral” in practice
When the indicator is neutral, it means the system sees a balance between pressure and reaction (or conflicting components), so direction is statistically less reliable. In scalping terms, this is usually where spreads and noise can eat you alive if you force entries.
Why this is still useful (even without a trade)
Neutral is not “nothing”—it is a filter. It prevents you from trading when the signal quality is low, and it forces the workflow to be clean: wait for Bias to build, then wait for a confirmed Signal , and only then treat it as a real setup.
What you wait for next
If the market turns bullish again, you want to see heatmap alignment returning and eventually a confirmed LONG SIGNAL —however, in the following examples, the heatmap does not follow the trade completely (unlike the previous generated long signal). Thus, a long entry is very risky.
If the market rolls over, you want the opposite: bearish alignment and a confirmed SHORT SIGNAL . Until one of these happens, Neutral = stand-by .
Setup 4 — Impulse + Exhaustion (Late-Stage Move, Don’t Chase)
In this screenshot, you’re basically seeing a “timing warning” configuration. Price prints a sharp bearish extension, but Pulsar Heatmap is not presenting it as a clean continuation setup: the center read is NEUTRAL 0% , while the timed engine shows both Absorption = SHORT and Exhaustion = SHORT . That combination often means: the downside pressure was real, but the move is already in a late/fragile phase (good for managing an existing short, not for opening a new one).
How to read it (practical scalping logic)
Absorption SHORT = there was compression/tight action with persistent bearish pressure building under the surface.
Exhaustion SHORT = the impulse is “spent” or destabilising (acceleration signature is no longer healthy for continuation entries).
Neutral 0% on the main HUD = the system is not granting directional confidence anymore, even if the last candles look aggressive.
Translation: if you were already short, this zone is often for taking profit / tightening risk . If you are not in, it’s usually a wait-for-reset moment.
Possible mean reversions in yellow
Those yellow tiles are the indicator’s “caution prints” (the same colour family used to express DISAGREE ). They appear when the internal structure becomes mixed —i.e., some halves/lanes are not supporting the dominant direction cleanly (or a divergence-style conflict is detected). In practice, they often mark the transition from clean pressure to noisy/late pressure , which is exactly where chasing entries tends to be punished.
How to use them
In a trend continuation, yellow tiles are a strong hint to stop adding and to manage risk more defensively (or treat the phase as “risky trend reversion”).
When they show up near an extension candle (like here), they often signal that the move is shifting into a less stable regime—better for protecting profits than for initiating new entries.
Stepping back for a moment, OBV (On-Balance Volume) and CVD (Cumulative Volume Delta) are both classic tools for studying volume flow, but they differ in what they measure. OBV tracks cumulative volume using price direction: it adds volume on up closes and subtracts it on down closes. CVD tracks the net difference between buying and selling pressure, aiming to reflect the effective push from buyers versus sellers. Both describe the "force behind price" , but from different angles.
OBV is the more traditional approach. It increases when the market closes higher and decreases when it closes lower, so it often works well as a trend-support and divergence tool: if price rises while OBV falls, that mismatch can suggest weakness beneath the move. Because it relies on the close-to-close direction, OBV naturally aligns with trend confirmation across bars.
CVD , instead, is about the ongoing battle between buyers and sellers. Conceptually, it accumulates the net delta between aggressive buying and aggressive selling over time. Positive values tend to indicate stronger buying pressure; negative values indicate stronger selling pressure. Its focus is the tug-of-war itself—who is pushing, rather than simply whether the bar ended up closing up or down.
The practical differences are straightforward. OBV uses the closing direction to assign the full volume, so it tends to be more connected to the overall trend structure. CVD is usually more sensitive to shifts in pressure and can react faster when the market changes character. OBV is commonly used to confirm trends and highlight divergences; CVD is commonly used to spot early pressure changes and moments where one side starts to dominate.
This is also why combining them inside one normalised framework can be so effective. You are not relying on a single volume interpretation. You are pairing a trend-confirmation view (OBV) with a pressure-sensitive view (CVD), and you are making them comparable in a shared scale so agreement and divergence become immediately visible. When they agree, conviction is clearer. When they diverge, you often see important information—hesitation, absorption, or pressure that the price is not fully accepting.

Dragon Smart Timing (Trend Analysis)Introduction Dragon Smart Timing is a comprehensive "Clean Chart" trading system designed for trend followers who prefer a minimalist workspace. Instead of cluttering your chart with multiple moving averages and noisy signals, this indicator consolidates complex market data into a sleek, real-time Neon Dashboard.
The system identifies high-probability Pullback Entries within a strong trend and includes a built-in Trade Management Assistant to help you decide when to Hold, Take Profit, or Stop Loss.
1. 🛠 How It Works (The 4-Pillar Logic) The system scans for a specific "Confluence" of 4 conditions. An "Entry Now" signal is triggered only when ALL of the following are met:
Trend Filter (The Safety Guard): Price must be ABOVE the EMA 200. This ensures you only trade in the direction of the long-term trend, avoiding counter-trend risks.
Momentum Alignment: Short-term trends must be healthy (EMA 21 > EMA 50 > EMA 100).
Smart Pullback (RSI): RSI (14) must dip into the "Golden Zone" (40 - 55) and bounce upward. We buy the dip, not the top.
Volume Confirmation: Validates the move with a Volume Spike (> 1.5x Average Volume).
2. 🤖 Trade Management Assistant Unlike standard indicators that leave you guessing after the entry, Dragon Smart Timing tracks the trade for you:
🐲 Entry Now: Signal to open a long position.
✊ Holding...: The system recognizes an active trade and monitors price action.
💰 Take Profit: Triggered when the price closes below the EMA 21, signaling momentum weakness.
🛑 Stop Loss: Triggered if the price drops 7% below your entry price to protect capital.
3. 🖥 The Neon Dashboard
Trend: Displays "Strong Up", "Aligned", or "Below EMA200".
RSI / Vol: Shows real-time values without clutter.
Action: The most important row. It lights up in Neon Green (Entry), Orange (Take Profit), or Red (Stop Loss).
⚙️ Settings
Trend Filter: Adjustable EMA 200 (Turn it into EMA 89 or 100 depending on your style).
Dashboard: Fully customizable position (Top/Bottom/Center) and size to fit your screen.
Risk Parameters: Adjustable Stop Loss % and Volume Multipliers.

Carry Stress Trigger (ZAR)A regime indicator for detecting stress in ZAR carry trades before price moves aggressively
Overview
Carry Stress Trigger (ZAR) is a regime-detection indicator that identifies early warning signals of carry-trade stress in the South African Rand (ZAR).
ZAR is one of the most widely used high-yield carry currencies, but its performance can reverse sharply when:
- Global risk sentiment deteriorates.
- Funding currencies (especially JPY) strengthen.
- Emerging market FX begins to underperform
This indicator combines risk, funding, and EM FX signals into a single Carry Stress Score, helping traders avoid being caught on the wrong side of sudden USDZAR or ZARJPY moves.
Indicator Logic (How It Works)
The model evaluates three independent conditions, each representing a core driver of carry trade behaviour:
Global Risk-Off Signal (VIX)
- Uses the VIX index as a proxy for global risk appetite
- Condition is triggered when:
VIX > its 20-period moving average
This captures rising volatility and risk aversion — a common precursor to EM FX sell-offs.
Funding Stress Signal (JPY Strength)
- JPY is the primary funding currency for global carry trades
- Condition is triggered when:
USDJPY < its 20-period moving average
A strengthening JPY often signals carry unwinds across EM FX.
EM FX Underperformance (ZAR vs USD)
- Measures whether ZAR is underperforming relative to the USD
- Uses a relative ratio:
USDZAR / DXY
The signal triggers when ZAR weakens beyond broad USD strength, isolating ZAR-specific stress rather than general dollar moves.
Carry Stress Score
Each condition contributes 1 point:
Score Regime Interpretation
0–1 Carry Friendly Risk-on environment, carry trades supported
2 Warning Stress building, caution advised
3 Carry Stress High risk of carry unwind / sharp ZAR moves
The score is plotted as a step line and optionally highlighted with background shading when stress rises.
How to Use It
USDZAR Traders
Score 0–1: Trend continuation and carry strategies more reliable
Score ≥ 2: Avoid fading USDZAR upside aggressively
Score = 3: Expect volatility expansion and fast upside spikes
ZARJPY / Carry Baskets
Score ≥ 2: Reduce exposure, tighten stops
Score = 3: Carry trades historically underperform
Risk Management
Use the indicator as a regime filter, not a standalone entry signal
Best combined with:
- Key USDZAR levels (support/resistance)
- SARB / CPI / Fed event weeks
-Volatility-based position sizing
Timeframe Notes
- The Lookback Length applies to the current chart timeframe
- On Daily charts, a length of 20 ≈ 1 trading months
- On Intraday charts, the signals become faster and more tactical
- For macro and swing trading, the Daily timeframe is recommended.
Important Notes
- This indicator is not predictive — it identifies regime conditions
- Carry trades can remain profitable even during early stress
- The strongest signals occur when Score = 3 aligns with key price levels or macro events
Selected Days Indicator V3-TrDoes the stock drop every Wednesday? Do March months always move similarly? Does the 1st week of the month behave differently?
Do you ever say "it always makes this move in these months"? Don't you want to see more clearly whether it actually makes this move or not? Don't you want to see and test periodically repeating price patterns?
Hisse her Çarşamba düşüyor mu? Mart ayları hep benzer mi hareket ediyor? Ayın 1. haftası farklı mı davranıyor?
Bazen "bu aylarda hep bu hareketi yapıyor" dediğiniz oluyor mu? Gerçekten de bu hareketi yapıp yapmadığını daha net görmek istemez misiniz? Periyodik tekrarlayan fiyat kalıplarını görmek ve test etmek istemiyor musunuz?
1. Problem
Some stocks or crypto assets exhibit systematic behaviors on certain days, weeks, or months. But it's hard to see - everything is mixed together on the chart. This indicator isolates the days/weeks/months you want and shows only them. Hides everything else.
2. How It Works
Three-layer filter: Day (Monday, Tuesday...), Week (1st, 2nd, 3rd week of the month), Month (January, February...). Select what you want, let the rest disappear. Example: Show only Thursdays of March-June-September. Or compare every 1st week of the month. View as candlestick, line, or column chart.
3. What's It Good For?
Test "end-of-month effect". Find "day-of-the-week anomaly". Analyze crypto volatility by days. See seasonality in commodities. Discover patterns specific to your own strategy. Past data doesn't guarantee the future but provides statistical advantage.
Box Theory StrategyHere is an explanation of the Box Theory trading strategy.
The Core Philosophy
This strategy is based on the idea that the market is a battle between buyers and sellers, and that these groups often defend the same price levels they used previously. Instead of trying to predict every move, this method focuses on trading only at the "extremes" where the probabilities are highest, while avoiding the middle of the chart where price action is random.
1. The Setup: Drawing the Box
To use this strategy, you must define the "playing field" for the day before you take any trades.
Top of the Box: Draw a line at the Previous Day’s High.
Bottom of the Box: Draw a line at the Previous Day’s Low.
Center Line: Draw a line roughly in the middle of these two points.
This box represents the established range where the market recently found value.
2. The Three Zones & Rules
Once the box is drawn, the chart is divided into three zones. Each zone dictates a specific action.
Zone 1: The Top (Resistance / Sell Zone)
What it represents: This is where sellers previously stepped in and pushed the price down. It is a known area of supply.
The Rule: NO BUYING.
If the price rallies to this level, you should look for Short/Sell opportunities.
Why? Buying here means purchasing at a price that was previously rejected. The probability of a reversal (price going down) is high.
Zone 2: The Bottom (Support / Buy Zone)
What it represents: This is where buyers previously stepped in and pushed the price up. It is a known area of demand.
The Rule: NO SELLING.
If the price drops to this level, you should look for Long/Buy opportunities.
Why? Selling here means shorting into support. The probability of a bounce (price going up) is high.
Zone 3: The Middle (Indecision Zone)
What it represents: This is the area of noise and confusion. Neither buyers nor sellers have clear control here.
The Rule: DO NOT TRADE.
Why? In the middle of the range, the odds of the price going up or down are roughly 50/50. Trading here is considered gambling because you do not have a statistical edge.
3. Execution: How to Trade
The Entry
Short Setup: Wait for the price to touch or slightly pierce the Top of the Box. Enter a short position when you see the price failing to break out (e.g., leaving a wick and closing back inside the box).
Long Setup: Wait for the price to touch or slightly pierce the Bottom of the Box. Enter a long position when you see the price failing to break down (e.g., bouncing off the level).
Stop Loss (Risk Management)
This strategy offers a very clear invalidation point.
For Shorts: Place your Stop Loss just above the box.
For Longs: Place your Stop Loss just below the box.
Logic: If the price clearly breaks out of the box, the range is broken, and you want to exit the trade immediately with a small loss.
Take Profit (Targets)
First Target: The Center Line. This is a safe place to take some profit or move your stop loss to breakeven.
Main Target: The opposite side of the box (e.g., if you sold at the top, target the bottom).
4. Handling Gaps (The "Cheater Box")
If the market opens significantly higher or lower than the previous day's range (a large gap), the original box may be too far away to be useful.
Adjustment: In this scenario, you can draw a new box using the highest and lowest price points of the current trading session so far.
Once this new range is established, apply the same rules: Sell the high, Buy the low, and avoid the middle.
Monday Tuesday Initial Balance and Range ProjectionsThis indicator is based on Stacey Burke’s definition of Initial Balance, where Monday and Tuesday together establish the Initial Balance for the trading week.
The high and low formed across Monday and Tuesday define the Initial Balance. Once Tuesday closes, this range is locked in and used as a structural reference for the remainder of the week.
What the Indicator Displays
Initial Balance High (Monday–Tuesday high)
Initial Balance Low (Monday–Tuesday low)
Optional midpoint
Optional range projections:
0.5 range extension to the upside/downside
1.0 range extension to the upside/downside
These extensions are calculated using the Monday–Tuesday range, projected above the Initial Balance High.
Why This Matters
In a large percentage of weeks:
The weekly high or low is established by Monday or Tuesday
One side of the Initial Balance tends to hold, while the other may break and trend
The range provides context for high-probability setups, not trade signals
Price will typically:
Reject the Initial Balance extremes (reversal / three-day setup)
Break and hold outside the balance (trend week)
Rotate within the balance (consolidation)
How to Use It
This tool is designed for context and structure, supporting:
Three Day Setups
First Green / First Red Days
False breaks
Weekly pump-and-dump / dump-and-pump scenarios
Trade execution should still be aligned with session timing, 15-minute structure, price action confirmation, and news awareness.

SHAP-Aligned BUY Signal (Daily, Edge-Triggered)Based on the XGBoost + SHAP interpretation report, I'll explain which indicators to monitor for buying NVO. However, I must emphasize that this model performed poorly (47.5% accuracy) and should NOT be used for actual trading! That said, here's what the model learned (for educational purposes):
📊 Top Indicators to Monitor for BUY Signals
1. Days_Since_Low (Most Important - 1.264)
Direction: BULLISH ↑
Interpretation: Higher values → UP prediction
What to monitor: Track how many days since the stock hit its recent low
Buy signal: When the stock has been recovering for an extended period (e.g., 100+ days from low)
Why it matters: The model learned that stocks in long-term recovery tend to continue rising
2. SMA_50 (50-day Moving Average) (0.413)
Direction: BULLISH ↑
Interpretation: Higher absolute SMA_50 values → UP prediction
What to monitor: The 50-day simple moving average price level
Buy signal: When SMA_50 is at higher levels (e.g., above $80-90)
Why it matters: Higher moving averages indicate stronger long-term trends
3. SMA_200 (200-day Moving Average) (0.274)
Direction: BULLISH ↑
Interpretation: Higher SMA_200 → UP prediction
What to monitor: The 200-day simple moving average
Buy signal: When SMA_200 is trending upward and at elevated levels
Why it matters: Long-term trend indicator; golden cross (SMA_50 > SMA_200) is traditionally bullish
4. BB_Width (Bollinger Band Width) (0.199)
Direction: BULLISH ↑
Interpretation: WIDER Bollinger Bands → UP prediction
What to monitor: The distance between upper and lower Bollinger Bands
Buy signal: When BB_Width is expanding (increasing volatility often precedes trend moves)
Why it matters: Widening bands can signal the start of a new trend
5. Price_SMA_50_Ratio (0.158)
Direction: BULLISH ↑
Interpretation: When price is ABOVE the 50-day MA → UP prediction
What to monitor: Current price ÷ SMA_50
Buy signal: When ratio > 1.0 (price is above the 50-day average)
Why it matters: Price above moving averages indicates uptrend
6. Momentum_21D (21-day Momentum) (0.152)
Direction: BULLISH ↑
Interpretation: Positive 21-day momentum → UP prediction
What to monitor: 21-day rate of change
Buy signal: When momentum is positive and increasing
Why it matters: Positive momentum suggests continuation
7. Stoch_K (Stochastic Oscillator) (0.142)
Direction: BULLISH ↑
Interpretation: Higher Stochastic K → UP prediction
What to monitor: Stochastic oscillator (0-100 scale)
Buy signal: When Stoch_K is rising from oversold (<20) or in mid-range (40-60)
Why it matters: Measures momentum and overbought/oversold conditions
Kinetic Scalper [BULLBYTE]KINETIC SCALPER - ADVANCED MOMENTUM & CONFLUENCE TRADING SYSTEM
A SOPHISTICATED MULTI-FACTOR ANALYSIS INDICATOR FOR PRECISION ENTRIES
The Kinetic Scalper is a comprehensive trading analysis tool that combines volume-weighted momentum calculations, multi-oscillator divergence detection, and a proprietary 15-factor confluence scoring system to identify high-probability reversal setups across all timeframes.
WHAT MAKES THIS INDICATOR ORIGINAL
This is NOT a simple mashup of existing indicators.
The Kinetic Scalper features a completely custom momentum engine called the "Kinetic Pulse" - a volume-weighted momentum oscillator with Fisher Transform normalization that fundamentally differs from standard RSI or other momentum indicators. Every component feeds into a unified algorithmic framework designed specifically for this system.
KEY INNOVATIONS:
KINETIC PULSE ENGINE
Unlike standard RSI which uses simple price changes, the Kinetic Pulse applies:
→ Volume weighting to price movements (high-volume moves carry more weight)
→ EMA smoothing instead of traditional SMA (faster response to changes)
→ Fisher Transform normalization for improved signal clarity
→ Adaptive period adjustment based on current volatility regime
→ Result: A momentum oscillator that responds to conviction, not just price noise
15-FACTOR CONFLUENCE SCORING SYSTEM
Every signal is graded based on the number of confirming factors present:
→ Momentum position (oversold/overbought extremes)
→ Momentum velocity (direction change confirmation)
→ Momentum acceleration (strength of reversal)
→ Multi-oscillator divergence (price vs. 3 oscillators)
→ Volume confirmation (above-average participation)
→ Volume delta analysis (buying vs. selling pressure)
→ Higher timeframe alignment (trend confirmation from larger timeframe)
→ Session timing (major forex session awareness)
→ Structure clearance (clear path to profit targets)
→ Support/resistance proximity (confluence with key levels)
→ Market regime filtering (trending vs. choppy conditions)
Signals are graded A+, A, or B based on how many factors align:
• CONSERVATIVE MODE: A+ requires 12+ factors, A requires 9+, B requires 7+
• BALANCED MODE: A+ requires 10+ factors, A requires 7+, B requires 5+
• AGGRESSIVE MODE: A+ requires 8+ factors, A requires 5+, B requires 3+
TRADE ANALYSIS STATE MACHINE
A sophisticated monitoring system that tracks trade conditions in real-time using:
→ 5-state analysis framework (Factors Aligned / Positive Bias / Mixed Signals / Factors Weakening / Negative Bias)
→ Hysteresis-based transitions (different thresholds to enter vs. exit states)
→ Confidence smoothing with EMA (reduces noise, prevents flip-flopping)
→ Minimum commitment periods before state changes
→ Override logic for significant events (near TP/SL, momentum reversals)
→ Result: Stable, actionable guidance that doesn't change on every bar
INSTRUMENT-AWARE CALIBRATION
Automatically detects what you're trading and applies optimized parameters:
→ Forex Majors: Standard ATR, high session weight
→ Forex Crosses: Tighter stops, moderate session weight
→ Crypto: Wider stops (1.8x multiplier), reduced session weight (24/7 markets)
→ Indices: Moderate-wide stops, high session weight
→ Commodities: Moderate stops, moderate session weight
WHAT THIS INDICATOR DOES
The Kinetic Scalper is designed to identify high-confluence reversal opportunities by analyzing multiple dimensions of market behavior simultaneously.
CORE FUNCTIONS:
1. SIGNAL GENERATION
→ Identifies potential reversal points at oversold/overbought extremes
→ Confirms with multi-oscillator divergence detection
→ Validates with volume, higher timeframe, and structural analysis
→ Filters out low-probability setups automatically
→ Grades signals based on total confluence factors present
2. AUTOMATED TRADE TRACKING
→ Calculates structure-based or ATR-based stop loss levels
→ Projects take profit targets using risk-to-reward ratios
→ Monitors live position status (P/L, distance to targets, R-multiple)
→ Tracks TP1 and TP2 hits automatically
→ Displays outcome markers (TP HIT, PARTIAL WIN, STOPPED)
3. REAL-TIME CONDITION MONITORING
→ Analyzes 6 factor categories during active trades
→ Provides confidence scoring (0-100 scale)
→ Generates actionable guidance based on current market state
→ Alerts when conditions deteriorate or improve
→ Helps with trade management decisions
4. COMPREHENSIVE MARKET ANALYSIS
→ Session detection (Asian, London, New York, Overlap)
→ Volatility regime identification (Low, Normal, High, Extreme)
→ Trend state classification (Trending Up/Down, Ranging, Transitioning)
→ Volume analysis (relative volume and delta approximation)
→ Choppiness filtering (blocks signals in ranging markets)
WHY USE THIS INDICATOR
PROBLEM: Most momentum indicators generate too many false signals at extremes.
SOLUTION: The Kinetic Scalper requires MULTIPLE confirming factors before generating a signal, dramatically reducing noise and focusing on high-confluence setups.
ADVANTAGES:
✓ QUALITY OVER QUANTITY
→ Signal grading ensures you can filter for only the highest-quality setups
→ A+ signals have 10-12+ confirming factors aligned
→ Cooldown periods prevent over-trading the same move
✓ COMPLETE TRADE FRAMEWORK
→ Entry signals with confluence justification
→ Calculated stop loss based on market structure or ATR
→ Two profit targets with clear risk-to-reward ratios
→ Live trade monitoring with factor analysis
→ Outcome tracking and visual markers
✓ ADAPTIVE TO MARKET CONDITIONS
→ Volatility-based period adjustment for momentum calculations
→ Instrument-specific ATR multipliers
→ Session awareness for forex traders
→ Higher timeframe trend filtering
→ Automatic regime detection (trending vs. choppy)
✓ TRANSPARENT METHODOLOGY
→ Every input has detailed tooltips explaining its purpose
→ Signal tooltips show exactly why a signal was generated
→ Dashboard displays all relevant market conditions
→ Factor scores are visible during trades
→ No "black box" mystery calculations
✓ NON-REPAINTING & RELIABLE
→ All signals use barstate.isconfirmed (only on closed bars)
→ Higher timeframe data uses lookahead_off with historical offset
→ No future data access or repainting behavior
→ What you see is what you get - signals don't disappear or move
HOW THE INDICATOR WORKS
SIGNAL GENERATION PROCESS:
STEP 1: MOMENTUM ANALYSIS
The Kinetic Pulse engine calculates volume-weighted momentum:
→ Price changes are weighted by volume ratio vs. 20-bar average
→ High-volume moves have more influence on the oscillator
→ Gains and losses are smoothed using EMA (not SMA like RSI)
→ Fisher Transform is applied for normalization to 0-100 scale
→ Result: Momentum reading that emphasizes conviction, not noise
STEP 2: REVERSAL DETECTION
The indicator looks for potential reversal conditions:
→ Kinetic Pulse reaching oversold zone (below dynamic lower threshold)
→ Momentum velocity turning positive after being negative (for longs)
→ OR bullish divergence detected on multiple oscillators
→ Price making lower lows while oscillators make higher lows = divergence
STEP 3: MULTI-OSCILLATOR DIVERGENCE CONFIRMATION
Divergence is validated across three sources:
→ Kinetic Pulse divergence
→ CCI divergence
→ Stochastic divergence
→ Multiple oscillators confirming divergence increases signal reliability
STEP 4: CONFLUENCE FACTOR SCORING
The system evaluates all 15 possible confirming factors:
→ Momentum position: Is pulse oversold/overbought? (+0 to +2 points)
→ Momentum direction: Is velocity reversing? (+0 to +2 points)
→ Momentum acceleration: Is reversal strengthening? (+0 to +1 point)
→ Divergence count: How many oscillators show divergence? (+0 to +2 points)
→ Volume strength: Is volume above 1.3x average? (+0 to +1 point)
→ Volume delta: Is cumulative delta positive/negative? (+0 to +1 point)
→ HTF alignment: Does higher timeframe support direction? (+0 to +2 points)
→ Session timing: Is it a prime trading session? (+0 to +1 point)
→ Clear air: Is path to targets clear of obstacles? (+0 to +1 point)
→ Structure confluence: Are we near support/resistance? (+0 to +1 point)
→ Market regime: Is market trending, not choppy? (+0 to +1 point)
Total possible score: 15 points
Minimum for signal: 3-12 points depending on sensitivity mode
STEP 5: FILTER VALIDATION
Before generating a signal, additional checks are performed:
→ Volume must be above minimum threshold (if filter enabled)
→ Higher timeframe must not oppose the signal direction (if filter enabled)
→ Target path must be clear of major resistance/support (if filter enabled)
→ Volatility must not be EXTREME (blocks signals in chaos)
→ Risk-to-reward ratio must meet minimum requirement
→ Cooldown period must have elapsed since last signal
STEP 6: SIGNAL GRADING
If all filters pass, the signal is graded based on score:
→ A+ Grade: Highest confluence (8-12+ factors depending on sensitivity)
→ A Grade: High confluence (5-9+ factors)
→ B Grade: Moderate confluence (3-7+ factors)
Only graded signals (A+, A, or B) are displayed.
STEP 7: TRADE LEVEL CALCULATION
Stop loss and targets are calculated automatically:
STOP LOSS METHODS:
• Structure-Based: Uses recent swing low/high with ATR buffer, constrained by min/max ATR limits
• ATR-Based: Pure ATR multiplier with min/max constraints
• Fixed ATR: Simple ATR multiplier, no adjustments
TARGET CALCULATION:
• TP1: Entry ± (Stop Distance × Target 1 R:R)
• TP2: Entry ± (Stop Distance × Target 2 R:R)
• Default: TP1 at 1.0 R:R (1:1), TP2 at 2.0 R:R (1:2)
STEP 8: TRADE MONITORING
Once a signal is taken, the indicator tracks:
→ Current P/L in ticks and R-multiples
→ Distance to each target in ATR units
→ Distance to stop loss in ATR units
→ TP1 hit detection (marks with label, updates lines)
→ TP2 hit detection (closes trade, marks outcome)
→ Stop loss hit detection (closes trade, differentiates partial vs. full loss)
STEP 9: FACTOR ANALYSIS (DURING TRADES)
The Trade Analysis Panel monitors 6 key factor categories:
→ Momentum: Is momentum still aligned with trade direction? (-15 to +15 pts)
→ Position: Current R-multiple position (-12 to +12 pts)
→ Volume: Is volume still supportive? (-6 to +6 pts)
→ HTF Alignment: Does HTF still support trade? (-6 to +8 pts)
→ Target Proximity: How close are we to targets? (0 to +10 pts)
→ Stop Proximity: Are we dangerously close to stop? (-15 to +3 pts)
Raw scores are summed and smoothed using 5-bar EMA to create Confidence Score (0-100).
STEP 10: STATE MACHINE TRANSITIONS
Based on smoothed confidence, the system transitions between 5 states:
→ FACTORS ALIGNED (72+): Everything looks good
→ POSITIVE BIAS (58-72): Conditions favorable
→ MIXED SIGNALS (48-58): Neutral conditions
→ FACTORS WEAKENING (22-48): Concerning signals
→ NEGATIVE BIAS (<22): Poor conditions
Hysteresis prevents rapid flipping between states (different entry/exit thresholds).

→ Range: 0.5 to 3.0
→ Default: 1.5
→ When to adjust:
• Increase to 2.0-2.5 for more breathing room (fewer false stops)
• Decrease to 1.0-1.2 for tighter stops (but more stop-outs)
Maximum Stop Distance (ATR)
→ Purpose: Cap on stop width to prevent excessive risk
→ Range: 1.0 to 5.0
→ Default: 2.5
→ Impact: If structure-based stop exceeds this, ATR-based stop is used instead

• Increase to 1.2-1.5 for only high-volume signals
• Decrease to 0.5-0.7 for more permissive filtering
Structure Clearance Check
→ Purpose: Ensures clear path to targets (no nearby resistance/support)
→ Default: ON
→ Impact: Prevents trades with immediate obstacles
→ Recommended: Keep enabled
Minimum Bars Between Signals
→ Purpose: Cooldown period after each signal
→ Range: 1 to 10
→ Default: 3
→ Impact: After a signal, this many bars must pass before another in same direction
→ When to adjust:
• Increase to 5-7 to prevent over-trading
• Decrease to 1-2 for faster re-entries
ADVANCED TUNING:
Momentum Period
→ Purpose: Base period for Kinetic Pulse calculation
→ Range: 5 to 30
→ Default: 14
→ When to adjust:
• Lower (8-10): More responsive, noisier
• Higher (18-21): Smoother, slower to react
→ Note: If Adaptive Period enabled, this is adjusted automatically
Adaptive Period
→ Purpose: Auto-adjusts momentum period based on volatility
→ Default: ON
→ Impact: Shortens period in high volatility, lengthens in low volatility
→ Recommended: Keep enabled for automatic optimization
Divergence Lookback
→ Purpose: How far back to search for divergence patterns
→ Range: 10 to 60
→ Default: 30
→ When to adjust:
• Shorter (15-20): Only recent divergences

Choppiness Index Threshold
→ Purpose: Threshold above which market considered choppy
→ Range: 38.2 to 80.0
→ Default: 61.8
→ Impact:
• Lower (50-55): Stricter quality filter (fewer signals in ranging markets)

• Good confluence, most key factors present
• Missing 1-2 optimal conditions
• These are still quality trades
• Recommended action: Standard position size, solid setups
→ B SIGNALS (Moderate Quality)
• 3-7+ confirming factors aligned
• Minimum viable confluence
• May be missing HTF alignment, volume, or session timing
• Higher variance outcomes
• Recommended action: Smaller position size or skip if conservative
SIGNAL NARRATIVE:
Each signal tooltip includes a narrative explaining WHY it was generated:
→ "Multi-divergence at oversold extreme"
• Multiple oscillators showing bullish divergence
• Kinetic Pulse in oversold zone
• High-quality reversal setup
→ "Bullish divergence near support"
• Divergence detected
• Price near key support level (swing low or PDL)
• Structure confluence
→ "Momentum reversal with HTF alignment"
• Kinetic Pulse velocity reversing
• Higher timeframe supports direction
• Strong trend-following setup
→ "Oversold momentum reversal"
• Extreme Kinetic Pulse reading reversing
• May not have divergence but strong momentum shift
READING THE TRADE PLAN:
Every signal comes with a complete trade plan:
→ ENTRY: The close price of the signal candle
• This is where the signal triggered
• If using limit orders, you might improve on this price
→ STOP: Calculated stop loss level
• Based on your Stop Loss Method setting
• Distance shown in ticks
• Risk tolerance: Ensure this represents ≤1-2% of your account
→ TP1: First profit target
• Default: 1:1 risk-reward
• This is your partial profit or first exit
• Consider taking 50% off at TP1
→ TP2: Second profit target
• Default: 1:2 risk-reward
• This is your "full win" target
• Hold remaining position for this level
SIGNAL FREQUENCY EXPECTATIONS:
Frequency varies by timeframe, sensitivity, and market conditions:
→ AGGRESSIVE MODE
• Lower timeframes (1m-5m): 5-15 signals per day
• Mid timeframes (15m-1H): 2-5 signals per day
• Higher timeframes (4H-D): 1-3 signals per week
→ BALANCED MODE (Default)
• Lower timeframes: 3-8 signals per day
• Mid timeframes: 1-3 signals per day
• Higher timeframes: 2-5 signals per week
→ CONSERVATIVE MODE
• Lower timeframes: 1-4 signals per day

Description:
Trade Execution Phase - First Target Achieved: After 29 bars , price reaches the first take-profit target at 26,157.00. The ' ' marker confirms partial profit taking. Current P/L shows +30.85 points (+1.12R), exceeding the initial 1:1 risk-reward.
The Trade Analysis Panel shows dramatic improvement - confidence has surged to 78% (FACTORS ALIGNED state) with most factors now positive:
- Momentum factor improved to +8 (velocity aligned with trade direction)
- Position factor at +8 (over +1R profit zone)
- HTF Align jumped to +8 (higher timeframe now confirming the move)
- Target factor maxed at +10 (TP1 achieved, TP2 within reach)
- Stop Distance at +3 (58.5 points cushion providing safety)
Notice the panel status displays 'Multiple factors positive' with a green-tinted background, indicating optimal trade conditions. The confidence trend shows 'RISING' suggesting continued momentum. With TP1 secured and only 24.44 points to TP2, the trade is well-positioned for a full 1:2R win.

Description:
Trade Completion - Full Target Achieved: The short trade reaches its second take-profit target at 26,129.35, securing a complete 1:2 risk-reward win. The ' ' marker confirms the exit. Final results:
- Entry: 26,184.65
- Exit: 26,129.35
- Profit: 55.30 points (approximately +2.0R)
- Outcome: Full TP2 success
Post-Trade Analysis: After trade closure, the indicator automatically returns to market scanning mode. The Main Dashboard reverts to showing market conditions rather than trade metrics. Notice how the 'Trend' now displays 'TREND DOWN' - confirming the move we captured. Volume increased to 1.26x during the winning move, validating the signal quality.
The Trade Analysis Panel switches back to 'NO ACTIVE TRADE' status and resumes displaying long/short setup scores. The confidence-based factor monitoring was instrumental throughout the trade:
- Initial entry at 57% confidence (MIXED SIGNALS)
- Peak confidence of 78% at TP1 (FACTORS ALIGNED)
- Real-time factor updates helped confirm trade validity
This example demonstrates the indicator's complete workflow: setup identification → signal generation → entry execution → live trade monitoring → systematic exit at targets.

USAGE TIPS & BEST PRACTICES
SIGNAL SELECTION:
✓ GRADE MATTERS
→ A+ signals have statistically more confluence factors
→ If you're conservative, trade only A+ signals
→ B signals can work but require more discretion
✓ CONFLUENCE WITH YOUR ANALYSIS
→ Use this indicator as CONFIRMATION, not sole decision criteria
→ Combine with your own support/resistance analysis
→ Check for fundamental events (news, economic data)
→ Respect major round numbers and psychological levels
✓ SESSION TIMING (Forex)
→ Best signals often occur during London/NY overlap
→ Avoid signals 10 minutes before major news releases
→ Asian session signals can be valid but lower liquidity
✓ TIMEFRAME CONFLUENCE
→ If you get an A+ signal on 15m, check if 1H chart agrees
→ Higher timeframe confirmation adds conviction
→ Avoid signals that oppose the daily/4H trend
TRADE MANAGEMENT:
✓ POSITION SIZING
→ ALWAYS size positions so stop loss = 1-2% of account
→ Never risk more than you can afford to lose
→ Smaller position on B signals, standard on A, larger on A+ (within limits)
✓ PARTIAL PROFIT TAKING
→ Consider taking 50% off at TP1
→ Move stop to breakeven after TP1 hit
→ Let remaining position run to TP2
✓ TRAILING STOPS
→ The indicator doesn't auto-trail stops (manual decision)
→ After TP1, you might manually move stop to entry (breakeven)
→ Consider ATR-based trailing stop for runners
✓ WATCH THE ANALYSIS PANEL
→ If state changes to "Factors Weakening" while in profit, consider exit
→ "Negative Bias" during a trade is a strong warning
→ "Factors Aligned" confirms your trade thesis is still valid
RISK MANAGEMENT:
✓ NEVER IGNORE STOPS
→ The calculated stop is there for a reason
→ Moving stop further away increases risk exponentially
→ If stopped out, accept it and wait for next setup
✓ AVOID REVENGE TRADING
→ If you get stopped out, resist urge to immediately re-enter
→ Signal cooldown helps with this
→ Wait for next qualified signal
✓ RESPECT VOLATILITY WARNINGS
→ If indicator shows "EXTREME" volatility, signals are blocked for a reason
→ Don't force trades in chaotic conditions
→ Wait for regime to normalize
✓ CORRELATION RISK
→ Be aware of correlation if trading multiple pairs
→ EUR/USD and GBP/USD are highly correlated
→ Don't stack risk on correlated instruments
OPTIMIZATION:
✓ START WITH DEFAULTS
→ Default settings are well-tested
→ Don't over-optimize for recent market behavior
→ Give settings at least 20-30 trades before judging
✓ TIMEFRAME-SPECIFIC ADJUSTMENTS
→ Lower timeframes: Consider increasing Signal Distance to 3.0-4.0
→ Higher timeframes: ATR Stop Multiplier might go to 2.0-2.5
→ Crypto: Ensure Instrument Type is set to "Crypto" for proper stops
✓ SENSITIVITY CALIBRATION
→ Too many signals? Switch to Conservative
→ Missing good setups? Try Balanced or Aggressive
→ Quality > Quantity always
✓ KEEP A JOURNAL
→ Track which signal grades work best for you
→ Note which sessions produce best results
→ Review stopped trades for patterns
THINGS TO AVOID:
✗ DON'T chase signals after several bars have passed
✗ DON'T ignore the stop loss or move it further away
✗ DON'T overtrade by taking every B-grade signal
✗ DON'T trade during major news if you're not experienced
✗ DON'T use this as your only analysis tool
✗ DON'T expect 100% win rate (no indicator has this)
✗ DON'T risk more than 1-2% per trade regardless of signal grade
UNDERSTANDING THE METHODOLOGY
WHY VOLUME WEIGHTING?
Traditional momentum oscillators treat all price moves equally. A 10-point move on low volume is weighted the same as a 10-point move on high volume.
The Kinetic Pulse corrects this by:
→ Calculating volume ratio vs. 20-bar average
→ Applying square root transformation to volume ratio (prevents extreme weights)
→ Multiplying price changes by volume weight
→ Result: High-volume moves influence the oscillator more than low-volume noise
This helps filter false breakouts and emphasizes moves with participation.
WHY FISHER TRANSFORM?
Fisher Transform is a mathematical transformation that:
→ Normalizes probability distributions
→ Creates sharper turning points
→ Amplifies extremes while compressing the middle
→ Makes overbought/oversold levels more distinct
Applied to the Kinetic Pulse, it helps identify genuine extremes vs. noise.
WHY MULTI-OSCILLATOR DIVERGENCE?
Single-source divergence can give false signals. By requiring divergence confirmation across multiple oscillators (Kinetic Pulse, CCI, Stochastic), the system filters out:
→ Divergences caused by calculation quirks in one oscillator
→ Temporary momentum anomalies
→ False divergence on noisy, low-timeframe charts
Multiple sources confirming the same pattern increases reliability.
WHY ADAPTIVE PERIODS?
Fixed periods can be:
→ Too slow during high volatility (miss fast reversals)
→ Too fast during low volatility (generate noise)
The adaptive system:
→ Shortens period when ATR ratio > 1.3 (high volatility = need faster response)
→ Lengthens period when ATR ratio < 0.7 (low volatility = need noise filtering)
→ Keeps period in reasonable range (60% to 140% of base period)
→ Result: Oscillator adjusts to current market pace automatically
WHY HYSTERESIS IN STATE MACHINE?
Without hysteresis, the analysis state would flip-flop on every bar, creating:
→ Confusing, contradictory guidance
→ Analysis paralysis
→ Lack of actionable information
Hysteresis solves this by:
→ Using different thresholds to ENTER vs. EXIT a state
→ Example: Enter "Factors Aligned" at 72+ confidence, but don't exit until <62
→ This creates stable states that persist through minor fluctuations
→ Requires minimum commitment period (3 bars) before state changes
→ Overrides commitment for significant events (near TP/SL)
→ Result: Stable, trustworthy analysis that changes only when truly warranted
WHY CONFIDENCE SMOOTHING?
Raw factor scores fluctuate bar-by-bar based on momentary conditions. Smoothing:
→ Uses 5-period EMA on raw confidence scores
→ Filters out single-bar anomalies
→ Preserves genuine trends in confidence
→ Prevents false state transitions
→ Result: More reliable assessment of actual trade health
WHY INSTRUMENT-SPECIFIC PARAMETERS?
Different instruments have different characteristics:
→ Forex is highly liquid, respects technical levels well, standard ATR works
→ Crypto is extremely volatile, needs wider stops (1.8x) to avoid false stops
→ Indices respect session opens strongly, session weighting is important
→ Commodities fall in between
Auto-detection applies research-based multipliers automatically.
WHY STRUCTURE-BASED STOPS?
ATR-based stops can:
→ Place stop in middle of consolidation (easily hit)
→ Ignore obvious invalidation levels
→ Be too tight during expansion or too wide during contraction
Structure-based stops:
→ Use actual swing highs/lows (where traders actually place stops)
→ Add small ATR buffer to avoid stop hunting
→ Constrain within min/max ATR limits for safety
→ Result: Stops that respect market geometry while managing risk
