TF7 Option vs Index Change RatioOverview
This indicator helps traders visualise the strength and direction of an option's price movement compared to its underlying index (NIFTY or SENSEX).
It calculates a Change Ratio, which is the percentage move in the option compared to the index movement during the same bar. This is especially useful for intraday traders looking for signs of momentum, divergence, or unusual strength/weakness in option pricing.
How It Works
The ratio is calculated as:
(Option LTP − Option Open) / (Index Close − Index Open)
The value is capped between −10 and +10 to filter out extreme or invalid spikes.
The ratio is displayed as a color-coded column chart:
🟩 Green bars: Option is moving in the same direction as the index.
🟥 Red bars: Option is underperforming or moving opposite to the index.
A compact table shows the last 5 bars of:
Option price change (with +/− sign)
Index price change
Calculated ratio (also color-coded)
You can toggle the table visibility in the settings.

Bifurcation Early WarningBifurcation Early Warning (BEW) — Chaos Theory Regime Detection
OVERVIEW
The Bifurcation Early Warning indicator applies principles from chaos theory and complex systems research to detect when markets are approaching critical transition points — moments where the current regime is likely to break down and shift to a new state.
Unlike momentum or trend indicators that tell you what is happening, BEW tells you when something is about to change. It provides early warning of regime shifts before they occur, giving traders time to prepare for increased volatility or trend reversals.
THE SCIENCE BEHIND IT
In complex systems (weather, ecosystems, financial markets), major transitions don't happen randomly. Research has identified three universal warning signals that precede critical transitions:
1. Critical Slowing Down
As a system approaches a tipping point, it becomes "sluggish" — small perturbations take longer to decay. In markets, this manifests as rising autocorrelation in returns.
2. Variance Amplification
Short-term volatility begins expanding relative to longer-term baselines as the system destabilizes.
3. Flickering
The system oscillates between two potential states before committing to one — visible as increased crossing of mean levels.
BEW combines all three signals into a single composite score.
COMPONENTS
AR(1) Coefficient — Critical Slowing Down (Blue)
Measures lag-1 autocorrelation of returns over a rolling window.
• Rising toward 1.0: Market becoming "sticky," slow to mean-revert — transition approaching
• Low values (<0.3): Normal mean-reverting behavior, stable regime
Variance Ratio (Purple)
Compares short-term variance to long-term variance.
• Above 1.5: Short-term volatility expanding — energy building before a move
• Near 1.0: Volatility stable, no unusual pressure
Flicker Count (Yellow/Teal)
Counts state changes (crossings of the dynamic mean) within the lookback period.
• High count: Market oscillating between states — indecision before commitment
• Low count: Price firmly in one regime
INTERPRETING THE BEW SCORE
0–50 (STABLE): Normal market conditions. Existing strategies should perform as expected.
50–70 (WARNING): Elevated instability detected. Consider reducing exposure or tightening risk parameters.
70–85 (DANGER): High probability of regime change. Avoid initiating new positions; widen stops on existing ones.
85+ (CRITICAL): Bifurcation likely imminent or in progress. Expect large, potentially unpredictable moves.
HOW TO USE
As a Regime Filter
• BEW < 50: Normal trading conditions — apply your standard strategies
• BEW > 60: Elevated caution — reduce position sizes, avoid mean-reversion plays
• BEW > 80: High alert — consider staying flat or hedging existing positions
As a Preparation Signal
BEW tells you when to pay attention, not which direction. When readings elevate:
• Watch for confirmation from volume, order flow, or other directional indicators
• Prepare for breakout scenarios in either direction
• Adjust take-profit and stop-loss distances for larger moves
For Volatility Adjustment
High BEW periods correlate with larger candles. Use this to:
• Widen stops during elevated readings
• Adjust position sizing inversely to BEW score
• Set more ambitious profit targets when entering during high-BEW breakouts
Divergence Analysis
• Price making new highs/lows while BEW stays low: Trend likely to continue smoothly
• Price consolidating while BEW rises: Breakout incoming — direction uncertain but move will be significant
SETTINGS GUIDE
Core Settings
• Lookback Period: General reference period (default: 50)
• Source: Price source for calculations (default: close)
Critical Slowing Down (AR1)
• AR(1) Calculation Period: Bars used for autocorrelation (default: 100). Higher = smoother, slower.
• AR(1) Warning Threshold: Level at which AR(1) is considered elevated (default: 0.85)
Variance Growth
• Variance Short Period: Fast variance window (default: 20)
• Variance Long Period: Slow variance window (default: 100)
• Variance Ratio Threshold: Level for maximum score contribution (default: 1.5)
Regime Flickering
• Flicker Detection Period: Window for counting state changes (default: 20)
• Flicker Bandwidth: ATR multiplier for state detection — lower = more sensitive (default: 0.5)
• Flicker Count Threshold: Number of crossings for maximum score (default: 4)
TIMEFRAME RECOMMENDATIONS
• 5m–15m: Use shorter periods (AR: 30–50, Var: 10/50). Expect more noise.
• 1H: Balanced performance with default or slightly extended settings (AR: 100, Var: 20/100).
• 4H–Daily: Extend periods further (AR: 100–150, Var: 30/150). Cleaner signals, less frequent.
ALERTS
Three alert conditions are included:
• BEW Warning: Score crosses above 50
• BEW Danger: Score crosses above 70
• BEW Critical: Score crosses above 85
LIMITATIONS
• No directional bias: BEW detects instability, not direction. Combine with trend or momentum indicators.
• Not a timing tool: Elevated readings may persist for several bars before the actual move.
• Parameter sensitive: Optimal settings vary by asset and timeframe. Backtest before live use.
• Leading indicator trade-off: Early warning means some false positives are inevitable.

Long Only EMA Strategy (9/20 with 200 EMA Filter)Details:
This strategy is built around a very simple idea: follow the primary trend and enter only when momentum supports it.
It uses three EMAs on a standard candlestick chart:
1. 9‑period EMA – short‑term momentum
2. 20‑period EMA – medium‑term structure
3. 200‑period EMA – long‑term trend filter
The strategy is ** long‑only ** and is mainly designed for swing trading and positional trading.
It avoids counter‑trend trades by taking entries only when price is trading ** above the 200 EMA **, which is commonly used as a long‑term trend reference.
The rules are deliberately kept simple so that they are easy to understand, modify, and test on different markets and timeframes.
---
Key Features
1. **Trend‑Filtered Entries**
- Fresh long positions are considered only when:
- The 9 EMA crosses above the 20 EMA
- The closing price is **above** the 200 EMA
- This attempts to combine short‑term momentum with a higher‑timeframe trend filter.
2. **Clean Exit Logic**
- The long position is exited when the closing price crosses **below** the 20 EMA.
- This creates an objective, rule‑based way to trail the trade as long as the medium‑term structure remains intact.
3. **Long‑Only, No Short Selling**
- The script intentionally ignores short setups.
- This makes it suitable for markets or accounts where short selling is restricted, or for traders who prefer to participate only on the long side of the market.
4. **Simple Visuals**
- All three EMAs are plotted directly on the chart:
- 9 EMA (fast)
- 20 EMA (medium)
- 200 EMA (trend)
- Trade entries and exits are handled by TradingView’s strategy engine, so users can see results in the Strategy Tester as well as directly on the chart.
5. **Backtest‑Friendly Structure**
- Uses TradingView’s built‑in `strategy()` framework.
- Can be applied to different symbols, timeframes, and markets (equities, indices, crypto, etc.).
- Works on standard candlestick charts, which are supported by TradingView’s backtesting engine.
6. **Configurable in Code**
- The EMA periods are defined in the code and can be easily adjusted.
- Users can tailor the parameters to fit their own style (for example, faster EMAs for intraday trading, slower EMAs for positional trades).
---
How to Use
1. **Add the Strategy to Your Chart**
1. Open any symbol and select a **standard candlestick chart**.
2. Apply the strategy from your “My Scripts” section.
3. Make sure it is enabled so that the trades and results appear.
2. **Select Timeframe**
- The logic can be tested on various timeframes:
- Higher timeframes (1H, 4H, 1D) for swing and positional setups.
- Lower timeframes (5m, 15m) for more active trading, if desired.
- Users should experiment and see where the strategy behaves more consistently for their chosen market.
3. **Read the Signals**
- **Entry:**
- A long trade is opened when the 9 EMA crosses above the 20 EMA while the closing price is above the 200 EMA.
- **Exit:**
- The open long position is closed when the closing price crosses below the 20 EMA.
- All orders are generated automatically once the strategy is attached to the chart.
4. **Use the Strategy Tester**
- Go to the **Strategy Tester** tab in TradingView.
- Check:
- Net profit / drawdown
- Win rate and average trade
- List of trades and the equity curve
- Change the date range and timeframe to see how stable the results are over different periods.
5. **Adjust Parameters if Needed**
- Advanced users can open the code and experiment with:
- EMA lengths (for example 8/21 with 200, or 10/30 with 200)
- Risk sizing and capital settings within the `strategy()` call
- Any changes should be thoroughly re‑tested before considering real‑world application.
---
Practical Applications
1. **Swing Trading on Daily Charts**
- Can be applied to stocks, indices, or ETFs on the daily timeframe.
- The 200 EMA acts as a trend filter to stay aligned with the broad direction, while the 9/20 crossover helps catch medium‑term swings inside that trend.
2. **Positional Trades on Higher Timeframes**
- On 4H or 1D charts, this approach can help in holding trades for several days to weeks.
- The exit rule based on the 20 EMA crossing helps avoid emotional decisions and provides a rules‑based way to trail the trend.
3. **Trend‑Following Filter**
- Even if used purely as a filter, the 200 EMA condition can help traders:
- Avoid taking long trades when the market is in a clear downtrend.
- Focus only on instruments that are trading above their long‑term average.
4. **Educational Use**
- The script is intentionally kept straightforward so that newer users can:
- Learn how a moving average crossover strategy works.
- See how to combine a short‑term signal with a long‑term filter.
- Understand how TradingView’s strategy engine handles entries and exits.
5. **Basis for Further Development**
- This can serve as a starting point for more advanced systems.
- Traders can extend it by adding:
- Additional filters (RSI, volume, volatility filters, time‑of‑day filters, etc.)
- Risk management rules (fixed stop loss, take profit, trailing stops).
- The current version is kept minimal on purpose, so modifications are easy to implement and test.

Volumetric Inverse Fair Value Gap (IFVG) [Kodexius]The Volumetric Inverse Fair Value Gap (IFVG) indicator detects and visualizes inverse fair value gaps (IFVGs) zones where previous inefficiencies in price (fair value gaps) are later invalidated or “inverted.”
Unlike traditional FVG indicators, this tool integrates volume-based analysis to quantify the bullish, bearish, and overall strength of each inversion. It visually represents these metrics within a dynamically updating box on the chart, giving traders deeper insight into market reactions when liquidity imbalances are filled and reversed.
Features
Inverse fair value gap detection
The script identifies bullish and bearish fair value gaps, stores them as pending zones, and turns them into inverse fair value gaps when price trades back through the gap in the opposite direction. Each valid inversion becomes an active IFVG zone on the chart.
Sensitivity control with ATR filter and strict mode
A minimum gap size based on ATR is used to filter out small and noisy gaps. Strict mode can be enabled so that any wick contact between the relevant candles prevents the gap from being accepted as a fair value gap. This lets you decide how clean and selective the zones should be.
Show Last N Boxes control
The indicator can keep only the most recent N IFVG zones visible. Older zones are removed from the chart once the number of active objects exceeds the user setting. This prevents clutter on higher timeframes or long histories and keeps attention on the most relevant recent zones.
Ghost box for the original gap
When the ghost option is enabled, the script draws a faint box that marks the original fair value gap from which the inverse zone came. This makes it easy to see where the initial imbalance appeared and how price later inverted that area.
Volumetric bull, bear and strength metrics
For each IFVG, the script estimates how much of the bar volume is associated with buying and how much with selling, then computes bull percentage, bear percentage and a strength score that uses a percentile rank of volume. These values are stored with the IFVG object and drive the visualization inside the zone.
Three band visual layout inside each IFVG
Each active IFVG is drawn as a container with three horizontal sections. The top band represents the bull percentage, the middle band the bear percentage and the bottom band the strength metric. The width of each bar reflects its respective value so you can read the structure of the zone at a glance.
Customizable colors and label text
Colors for bull, bear, strength, the empty background area, the ghost box and label text can be adjusted in the inputs. This allows you to match the indicator to different chart themes or highlight specific aspects such as strength or direction.
Automatic invalidation and cleanup
When price clearly closes beyond the IFVG in a way that breaks the logic of that zone, the script marks it as inactive and deletes all boxes and labels linked to it. Only valid and active IFVGs remain on the chart, which keeps the display clean and focused.
Calculations
1. Detecting Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)
A fair value gap is identified when price action leaves an imbalance between candle wicks. Depending on the mode:
Bullish FVG: When low > high
Bearish FVG: When high < low
Optionally, the strict mode ensures wicks do not touch.
The gap’s significance is filtered using the ATR multiplier input to exclude minor noise.
Once detected, FVGs are stored as pending zones until inverted by opposite movement (price crossing through).
bool bull_cond = strict_mode ? (low > high ) : (close > high )
bool bear_cond = strict_mode ? (high < low ) : (close < low )
float gap_size = 0.0
if bull_cond and close > open
gap_size := low - high
if bear_cond and close < open
gap_size := low - high
2. Creating IFVGs (Inversions)
When price later moves through a previous FVG in the opposite direction, an Inverse FVG (IFVG) is created.
For example:
A previous bearish FVG becomes bullish IFVG if price moves upward through it.
A previous bullish FVG becomes bearish IFVG if price moves downward through it.
The IFVG is initialized with structural boundaries (top, bottom) and timestamp metadata to anchor visualization.
if not p.is_bull_gap and close > p.top
inverted := true
to_bull := true
if p.is_bull_gap and close < p.btm
inverted := true
to_bull := false
3. Volume Metrics (Bull, Bear, Strength)
Each IFVG calculates buy and sell volumes from the current bar’s price spread and total volume.
Bull % = proportion of upward (buy) volume
Bear % = proportion of downward (sell) volume
Strength % = normalized percentile rank of total volume
These are obtained through a custom function that estimates directional volume contribution:
calc_metrics(float o, float h, float l, float c, float v) =>
float rng = h - l
float buy_v = 0.0
if rng == 0
buy_v := v * 0.5
else
if c >= o
buy_v := v * ((math.abs(c - o) + (math.min(o, c) - l)) / rng)
else
buy_v := v * ((h - math.max(o, c)) / rng)
float sell_v = v - buy_v
float total = buy_v + sell_v
float p_bull = total > 0 ? buy_v / total : 0
float p_bear = total > 0 ? sell_v / total : 0
float p_str = ta.percentrank(v, 100) / 100.0
GCM MACD based Range OscillatorGCM MACD based Range Oscillator (MRO)
Introduction
The GCM MACD based Range Oscillator (MRO) is a hybrid technical indicator that combines the momentum-tracking capabilities of the classic MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) with a custom Range Oscillator.
The core problem this script solves is normalization. Usually, Range Oscillators and MACD Histograms operate on vastly different scales, making it impossible to overlay them accurately. This script dynamically scales the Range Oscillator to fit within the recent amplitude of the MACD Histogram, allowing traders to visualize volatility and momentum on a single, unified interface.
How It Works (The Math)
1. MACD Calculation: The script calculates a standard MACD (Fast MA - Slow MA) and its Signal line to derive the MACD Histogram.
2. Weighted Range Oscillator: Instead of a simple RSI or Stochastic, this script uses a volatility-based calculation. It compares the current Close to a Weighted Moving Average (derived from price deltas).
3. Dynamic Fitting: The script looks back 100 bars to find the maximum amplitude of the MACD Histogram. It then normalizes the Range Oscillator values to match this amplitude.
4. Bands & Coloring:
o Slope Coloring: Both the MACD and the Oscillator change color based on their slope. Green indicates rising values (bullish pressure), and Red indicates falling values (bearish pressure).
o Fixed Bands: Horizontal bands are placed at +0.75 and -0.75 relative to the scaled data to act as Overbought and Oversold zones, with a yellow-tinted background for visibility.
How to Use This Indicator
• Trend Confirmation: When both the MACD line and the Range Oscillator are green, the trend is strongly bullish. When both are red, the trend is bearish.
• Contraction & Expansion: The yellow zone (between -0.75 and +0.75) represents the "equilibrium" or ranging area. Breakouts above the Upper Band (+0.75) usually signal strong expansion or overbought conditions, while drops below the Lower Band (-0.75) signal oversold conditions.
• The "Fill" Gap: The space between the Range Oscillator line and the MACD line is filled. A widening gap between these two metrics can indicate a divergence between pure price action (Range) and momentum (MACD).
• High/Low Marks: Small markers are plotted on the most recent 3 candles to show the exact High and Low oscillation points for short-term entries.
Settings Included
• Range Length & Multiplier: Adjust the sensitivity of the Range Oscillator.
• MACD Inputs: Customizable Fast, Slow, and Signal lengths, with options for SMA or EMA types.
• Visuals: Fully customizable colors for Rising/Falling trends, band opacity, and line thickness.
How this follows House Rules
1. Originality:
o Rule: You cannot simply upload a generic MACD.
o Compliance: This is not a standard MACD. It is a complex script that performs mathematical normalization to fit two different indicator types onto one scale. The "Dynamic Fitting" logic makes it unique.
2. Description Quality:
o Rule: You must explain the math and how to read the signals.
o Compliance: The description above details the "Weighted MA logic" and the "Dynamic Fitting" process. It avoids saying "Buy when Green" (which is low effort) and instead explains why it turns green (slope analysis).
3. Visuals:
o Rule: Plots must be clear and not cluttered.
o Compliance: The script uses overlay=false (separate pane). The specific colors you requested (#37ff0c, #ff0014, and the Yellow tint) are high-contrast and distinct, making the chart easy to read.
4. No "Holy Grail" Claims:
o Rule: Do not promise guaranteed profits.
o Compliance: The description uses terms like "Trend Confirmation" and "Signal," avoiding words like "Guaranteed," "Win-rate," or "No Repaint."
Per Bak Self-Organized CriticalityTL;DR: This indicator measures market fragility. It measures the system's vulnerability to cascade failures and phase transitions. I've added four independent stress vectors: tail risk, volatility regime, credit stress, and positioning extremes. This allows us to quantify how susceptible markets are to disproportionate moves from small shocks, similar to how a steep sandpile is primed for avalanches.
Avalanches, forest fires, earthquakes, pandemic outbreaks, and market crashes. What do they all have in common? They are not random.
These events follow power laws - stable systems that naturally evolve toward critical states where small triggers can unleash catastrophic cascades.
For example, if you are building a sandpile, there will be a point with a little bit additional sand will cause a landslide.
Markets build fragility grain by grain, like a sandpile approaching avalanche.
The Per Bak Self-Organized Criticality (SOC) indicator detects when the markets are a few grains away from collapse.
This indicator is highly inspired by the work of Per Bak related to the science of self-organized criticality .
As Bak said:
"The earthquake does not 'know how large it will become'. Thus, any precursor state of a large event is essentially identical to a precursor state of a small event."
For markets, this means:
We cannot predict individual crash size from initial conditions
We can predict statistical distribution of crashes
We can identify periods of increased systemic risk (proximity to critical state)
BTW, this is a forwarding looking indicator and doesn't reprint. :)
The Story of Per Bak
In 1987, Danish physicist Per Bak and his colleagues discovered an important pattern in nature: self-organized criticality.
Their sandpile experiment revealed something: drop grains of sand one by one onto a pile, and the system naturally evolves toward a critical state. Most grains cause nothing. Some trigger small slides. But occasionally a single grain triggers a massive avalanche.
The key insight is that we cannot predict which grain will trigger the avalanche, but you can measure when the pile has reached a critical state.
Why Markets Are the Ultimate SOC System?
Financial markets exhibit all the hallmarks of self-organized criticality:
Interconnected agents (traders, institutions, algorithms) with feedback loops
Non-linear interactions where small events can cascade through the system
Power-law distributions of returns (fat tails, not normal distributions)
Natural evolution toward fragility as leverage builds, correlations tighten, and positioning crowds
Phase transitions where calm markets suddenly shift to crisis regimes
Mathematical Foundation
Power Law Distributions
Traditional finance assumes returns follow a normal distribution. "Markets return 10% on average." But I disagree. Markets follow power laws:
P(x) ∝ x^(-α)
Where P(x) is the probability of an event of size x, and α is the power law exponent (typically 3-4 for financial markets).
What this means: Small moves happen constantly. Medium moves are less frequent. Catastrophic moves are rare but follow predictable probability distributions. The "fat tails" are features of critical systems.
Critical Slowing Down
As systems approach phase transitions, they exhibit critical slowing down—reduced ability to absorb shocks. Mathematically, this appears as:
τ ∝ |T - T_c|^(-ν)
Where τ is the relaxation time, T is the current state, T_c is the critical threshold, and ν is the critical exponent.
Translation: Near criticality, markets take longer to recover from perturbations. Fragility compounds.
Component Aggregation & Non-Linear Emergence
The Per Bak SOC our index aggregates four normalized components (each scaled 0-100) with tunable weights:
SOC = w₁·C_tail + w₂·C_vol + w₃·C_credit + w₄·C_position
Default weights (you can change this):
w₁ = 0.34 (Tail Risk via SKEW)
w₂ = 0.26 (Volatility Regime via VIX term structure)
w₃ = 0.18 (Credit Stress via HYG/LQD + TED spread)
w₄ = 0.22 (Positioning Extremes via Put/Call ratio)
Each component uses percentile ranking over a 252-day lookback combined with absolute thresholds to capture both relative regime shifts and extreme absolute levels.
The Four Pillars Explained
1. Tail Risk (SKEW Index)
Measures options market pricing of fat-tail events. High SKEW indicates elevated outlier probability.
C_tail = 0.7·percentrank(SKEW, 252) + 0.3·((SKEW - 115)/0.5)
2. Volatility Regime (VIX Term Structure)
Combines VIX level with term structure slope. Backwardation signals acute stress.
C_vol = 0.4·VIX_level + 0.35·VIX_slope + 0.25·VIX_ratio
3. Credit Stress (HYG/LQD + TED Spread)
Tracks high-yield deterioration versus investment-grade and interbank lending stress.
C_credit = 0.65·percentrank(LQD/HYG, 252) + 0.35·(TED/0.75)·100
4. Positioning Extremes (Put/Call Ratio)
Detects extreme hedging demand through percentile ranking and z-score analysis.
C_position = 0.6·percentrank(P/C, 252) + 0.4·zscore_normalized
What the Indicator Really Measures?
Not Volatility but Fragility
Markets Going Down ≠ Fragility Building (actually when markets go down, risk and fragility are released)
The 0-100 Scale & Regime Thresholds
The indicator outputs a 0-100 fragility score with four regimes:
🟢 Safe (0-39): System resilient, can absorb normal shocks
🟡 Building (40-54): Early fragility signs, watch for deterioration
🟠 Elevated (55-69): System vulnerable
🔴 Critical (70-100): Highly susceptible to cascade failures

Lower values (3-10): Faster detection, catches brief pauses, more sensitive
Best for: Lower timeframes, volatile markets, avoiding any chop
Higher values (20-40): More reliable, only flags true extended consolidation
Best for: Higher timeframes, trending markets, patient traders
Current defaults scale with timeframe (more bars needed on shorter timeframes)
Historical S/R Zones:
Shows previous support and resistance levels to provide context.
Default: 2 historical zones (shows current + 2 previous)
Range: 0-3 zones
Visual Hierarchy: Older zones are more transparent with dashed borders
Usage: Higher numbers (2-3) show more historical context but can clutter the chart. Start with 2 and adjust based on your preference.
Live Structure Feature (Yellow Warning ⚠):
Provides early warning of potential structure changes before full confirmation.
What it does: Detects potential swing highs/lows after just 2 bars instead of waiting for full swing_length confirmation
Live Peak: Shows when a high is followed by 2 lower closes (potential top forming)
Live Trough: Shows when a low is followed by 2 higher closes (potential bottom forming)
Important: These are UNCONFIRMED - they may be invalidated if price reverses
Use case: Get early awareness of potential reversals while waiting for confirmation
Displayed in: Info table only (no visual markers on chart to reduce clutter)
Only shows: Peaks higher than last swing high, or troughs lower than last swing low (filters out noise)
Higher Timeframe (HTF) Analysis:
View higher timeframe ICC structure while trading on lower timeframes.
How to enable: Toggle "Show Higher Timeframe ICC" ON
Setup: Set "Higher Timeframe" to your reference timeframe
Example: Trading on 15-minute? Set HTF to 240 (4-hour) or 60 (1-hour)
Example: Trading on 5-minute? Set HTF to 60 (1-hour) or 15 (15-minute)
What it shows:
HTF indication levels displayed as dashed lines
Blue = HTF Bullish Indication
Purple = HTF Bearish Indication
HTF phase and levels shown in info table
Trading workflow:
Check HTF phase for overall market direction
Wait for HTF correction phase
Drop to lower timeframe to find precise entries
Enter when lower TF shows continuation in alignment with HTF
Best practice: HTF should be 3-4x your trading timeframe for best results
Reversal Entries Toggle:
Default: ON (shows all signal types)
Toggle OFF for more conservative trading (only trend continuation signals)
Recommended: Backtest with both settings to see which works better for your style
New traders should consider disabling reversal entries initially
Volatility-Based Zones:
When enabled, support/resistance zones automatically adjust their height based on ATR (Average True Range).
More volatile = wider zones
Less volatile = tighter zones
Toggle OFF for fixed-width zones

FAIRPRICE_VWAP_RDFAIRPRICE_VWAP_RD
This script plots an **anchored VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price)** that resets
based on the user-selected anchor period. It acts as a dynamic “fair value” line
that reflects where the market has actually transacted during the chosen period.
FEATURES
- Multiple anchor options: Session, Week, Month, Quarter, Year, Decade, Century,
Earnings, Dividends, or Splits.
- Intelligent handling of the “Session” anchor so it works correctly on both 1m
(resets each new day) and 1D (continuous, non-resetting VWAP).
- Manual VWAP calculation using cumulative(price * volume) and cumulative(volume),
ensuring the line is stable and works on all timeframes.
- Optional hiding of VWAP on daily or higher charts.
- Offset input for horizontal shifting if desired.
- VWAP provides a true “fair price” reference for trend, mean-reversion,
and institutional-level analysis.
PURPOSE
This indicator solves the common problem of VWAP behaving incorrectly on higher
timeframes, on synthetic data, or with unusual anchors. By implementing VWAP
manually and allowing flexible reset conditions, it functions reliably as
an institutional-style fair value benchmark across any timeframe.
RSI_RDRSI_RD - RSI Divergence Detector (Ryan DeBraal)
This script plots a standard RSI along with advanced automatic divergence detection.
It identifies four types of divergences using pivot logic and configurable
lookback windows. Signals appear directly on the RSI line as plotted marks and labels.
FEATURES
- Standard RSI with user-defined length and source.
- Midline (50), overbought (70), and oversold (30) levels with shaded background.
- Automatic detection of:
• Regular Bullish Divergence
• Regular Bearish Divergence
• Hidden Bullish Divergence
• Hidden Bearish Divergence
- Each divergence type can be toggled on/off individually.
- Pivot-based detection using left/right lookback lengths.
- Range filter (bars since pivot) to avoid stale or invalid divergences.
- Colored markers and labels placed exactly on pivot points.
- Alerts for all four divergence conditions.
PURPOSE
This indicator makes RSI divergence trading systematic and visual.
It highlights when price action disagrees with RSI momentum — often signaling
exhaustion, reversal setups, or continuation opportunities depending on the divergence type.
Ideal for combining with trend filters, VWAP, or ORB structures.

Watchlist Volume Surge AlertOverview
This indicator is designed for traders who monitor large watchlists and need instant notification when a stock is experiencing unusual volume activity relative to its recent history.
Standard volume indicators often include the current day's volume in the average calculation. This causes a problem: if a stock is having a massive breakout, that high volume pulls the average up immediately, making it harder to hit the "relative" threshold.
This script solves that by comparing the current volume against the Simple Moving Average (SMA) of the previous n bars. This ensures a clean baseline and accurate alerts, even during massive volatility.
Key Features
Smart RVOL Calculation: Calculates Relative Volume (RVOL) based on the previous 30 bars (adjustable), ensuring the current breakout doesn't skew the average.
Visual Clarity:
Bars: Normal volume is transparent. Surge volume turns bright Teal (Bullish Close) or Red (Bearish Close).
Background: The indicator panel background highlights when a surge is active, making it impossible to miss when scanning visually.
Data Window: Displays the exact RVOL ratio (e.g., 2.11) in the Data Window for verification.
Watchlist Alert Optimized: Specifically designed to work with TradingView's "Any alert function call" or standard condition alerts across multiple tickers.
How to Set Up Alerts
This script is perfect for setting a single alert on a large watchlist to catch breakouts as they happen.
Add the indicator to your chart.
Go to the Alerts menu and create a new alert.
Condition: Select Watchlist Volume Surge Alert.
Trigger: Select "Once Per Bar".
Note: Using "Once Per Bar" ensures you are notified the moment the volume crosses the threshold during the trading day, rather than waiting for the market to close.
Message: The script includes a dynamic message: "Volume Surge! {{ticker}} volume is {{plot("RVOL Ratio")}}x the average."
Settings
Average Length (Days): The lookback period for the volume average (Default: 30).
Alert Threshold (x Average): The multiple required to trigger an alert (Default: 1.5x).
Note: This works better when you have a watchlist with similar volatility and/or market cap
Multi-Tool VWAP + EMAs (Multi-Timeframe) + Key LevelsDescription
This indicator combines several commonly used technical analysis tools into a single script, especially useful for traders using the free version of TradingView or anyone looking to reduce the number of indicators on their chart.
The goal is to provide clear visual references for trend, structure, and key levels—without generating buy/sell signals or automated trading functions.
Included Features
1. VWAP (session-anchored)
Source: HLC3
Purple line, thickness 2
Useful as a reference for daily institutional average price.
2. EMAs of the current timeframe
EMA 200 (red, thickness 3)
EMA 9 (green, thickness 1)
These EMAs help visualize long-term trend and short-term momentum.
3. Dynamic EMAs (MTF – Multi-Timeframe)
The indicator displays the 200 EMA from higher timeframes as dynamic horizontal levels:
5 minutes
15 minutes
30 minutes
1 hour
4 hours
1 day
Each level includes a descriptive label such as “15 min EMA 200”.
These EMAs serve as reference points for potential support/resistance areas coming from higher timeframes.
4. Automatic Key Levels
The indicator plots several important price levels:
Previous day:
PDH (Previous Day High)
PDL (Previous Day Low)
Previous Day 50% Fibonacci level
Pre-market (04:00–09:30 exchange time):
PMH (Pre-Market High)
PML (Pre-Market Low)
Current session:
Open (session opening price)
Previous Close (prior day’s closing price)
Purpose and Scope
This script is designed to provide basic visual reference points to support discretionary analysis.
It does not generate signals or trading suggestions, and it is not intended to predict future price movements.
How to Use It
Enable or disable each block in the Inputs section according to your analysis style.

Echo Chamber [theUltimator5]The Echo Chamber - When history repeats, maybe you should listen.
Ever had that eerie feeling you've seen this exact price action before? The Echo Chamber doesn't just give you déjà vu—it mathematically proves it, scales it, and projects what happened next.
📖 WHAT IT DOES
The Echo Chamber is an advanced pattern recognition tool that scans your chart's history to find segments that closely match your current price action. But here's where it gets interesting: it doesn't just find similar patterns - It expands and contracts the time window to create a uniquely scaled fractal. Patterns don't always follow the same timeframe, but they do follow similar patterns.
Using a custom correlation analysis algorithm combined with flexible time-scaling, this indicator:
Finds historical price segments that mirror your current market structure
Scales and overlays them perfectly onto your current chart
Projects forward what happened AFTER that historical match
Gives you a visual "echo" from the past with a glimpse into potential futures
══════════════════════════════
HOW TO USE IT
This indicator starts off in manual mode, which means that YOU, the user, can select the point in time that you want to project from. Simply click on a point in time to set the starting value.
Once you select your point in time, the indicator will automatically plot the chosen historical chart pattern and correlation over the current chart and project the price forwards based on how the chart looked in the past. If you want to change the point in time, you can update it from the settings, or drag the point on the chart over to a new position.
You can manually select any point in time, and the chart will quickly update with the new pattern. A correlation will be shown in a table alongside the date/timestamp of the selected point in time.
You can switch to auto mode, which will automatically search out the best-fit pattern over a defined lookback range and plot the past/future projection for you without having to manually select a point in time at all. It simply finds the best fit for you.
You can change the scale factor by adjusting multiplication and division variables to find time-scaled fractal patterns.
══════════════════════════════
🎯 KEY FEATURES
Two Operating Modes:
🔧 MANUAL MODE - Select any historical point and see how it correlates with current price action in real-time. Perfect for:
• Analyzing specific past events (crashes, rallies, consolidations)
• Testing historical patterns against current conditions
• Educational analysis of market structure repetition
🤖 AUTO MODE - It automatically scans through your lookback period to find the single best-correlated historical match. Ideal for:
• Quick pattern discovery
• Systematic trading approach
• Unbiased pattern recognition
Time Warp Technology:
The time warp feature expands and compresses the correlation window to provide a custom fractal so you can analyze windows of time that don't necessarily match the current chart.
💡 *Example: Multiplier=3, Divisor=2 gives you a 1.5x time stretch—perfect for finding patterns that played out 50% slower than current price action.*
Drawing Modes:
Scale Only : Pure vertical scaling—matches price range while maintaining temporal alignment at bar 0
Rotate & Scale : Advanced geometric transformation that anchors both the start AND end points, creating a rotated fit that matches your current segment's slope and range
Visual Components:
🟠 Orange Overlay : The historical match, perfectly scaled to your current price action
🟣 Purple Projection : What happened NEXT after that historical pattern (dotted line into the future)
📦 Highlight Boxes : Shows you exactly where in history these patterns came from
📊 Live Correlation Table : Real-time correlation coefficient with color-coded strength indicator
══════════════════════════════
⚙️ PARAMETERS EXPLAINED
Correlation Window Length (20) : How many bars to match. Smaller = more precise matches but noisier. Larger = broader patterns but fewer matches.
Note: if this value is too high in auto mode, the script may time out from computational overload.
Multiplication Factor : Historical time multiplier. 2 = sample every 2nd bar from history. Higher values find slower historical patterns.
Division Factor : Historical time divisor applied after multiplication. Final sample rate = (Length × Factor) ÷ Divisor, rounded down.
Lookback Range : How far back to search for patterns. More history = better chance of finding matches but slower performance.
Note: if this value is too high in auto mode, the script may time out from computational overload.
Future Projection Length : How many bars forward to project from the historical match. Your crystal ball's focal length.
══════════════════════════════
💼 TRADING APPLICATIONS
Trend Continuation/Reversal :
If the purple projection continues the current trend, that's your historical confirmation. If it reverses, you've found a potential turning point that's happened before under similar conditions.
Support/Resistance Validation :
Does the projection respect your S/R levels? History suggests those levels matter. Does it break through? You've found historical precedent for a breakout.
Time-Based Exits :
The projection shows not just WHERE price might go, but WHEN. Use it to anticipate timing of moves.
Multi-Timeframe Analysis :
Use time compression to overlay higher timeframe patterns onto lower timeframes. See daily patterns on hourly charts, weekly on daily, etc.
Pattern Education :
In Manual Mode, study how specific historical events correlate with current conditions. Build your pattern recognition library.
══════════════════════════════
📊 CORRELATION TABLE
The table shows your correlation coefficient as a percentage:
80-100%: Extremely strong correlation—history is practically repeating
60-80%: Strong correlation—significant similarity
40-60%: Moderate correlation—some structural similarity
20-40%: Weak correlation—limited similarity
0-20%: Very weak correlation—essentially random match
-20-40%: Weak inverse correlation
-40-60%: Moderate inverse correlation
-60-80%: Strong inverse correlation
-80-100%: Extremely strong inverse correlation—history is practically inverting
**Important**: The correlation measures SHAPE similarity, not price level. An 85% correlation means the price movements follow a very similar pattern, regardless of whether prices are higher or lower.
══════════════════════════════
⚠️ IMPORTANT DISCLAIMERS
- Past performance does NOT guarantee future results (but it sure is interesting to study)
- High correlation doesn't mean causation—markets are complex adaptive systems
- Use this as ONE tool in your analytical toolkit, not a standalone trading system
- The projection is what HAPPENED after a similar pattern in the past, not a prediction
- Always use proper risk management regardless of what the Echo Chamber suggests
══════════════════════════════
🎓 PRO TIPS
1. Start with Auto Mode to find high-correlation matches, then switch to Manual Mode to study why that period was similar
2. Experiment with time warping on different timeframes—a 2x factor on a daily chart lets you see weekly patterns
3. Watch for correlation decay —if correlation drops sharply after the match, current conditions are diverging from history
4. Combine with volume —check if volume patterns also match
5. Use "Rotate & Scale" mode when the current trend angle differs from the historical match
6. Increase lookback range to 500-1000+ on daily/weekly charts for finding rare historical parallels
══════════════════════════════
🔧 TECHNICAL NOTES
- Uses Pearson correlation coefficient for pattern matching
- Implements range-based scaling to normalize different price levels
- Rotation mode uses linear interpolation for geometric transformation
- All calculations are performed on close prices
- Boxes highlight actual historical bar ranges (high/low)
- Maximum of 500 lines and 500 boxes for performance optimization
Market Internals Dashboard: Trend, Breadth, Volume PressureOverview
The Market Internals Dashboard Pro is a professional-grade toolkit modeled after what prop firms and institutional desks use to understand real intraday market conditions.
Instead of relying solely on price, this indicator analyzes three critical internal forces:
USI:TICK : Microstructure buying/selling pressure
USI:ADD : Market breadth participation (advancers vs decliners proxy)
USI:VOLD : Volume pressure (buying vs selling volume)
These internals determine whether the market is:
Trending or ranging
Bullish or bearish
Likely to follow through or mean-revert
Favoring continuation trades or fade setups
The script also produces a Market Environment Score (–3 to +3) and a real-time Trade Recommendation Table that updates every bar. This helps answer the single most important question in intraday trading: “What type of trades should I be taking right now given current market conditions?”
1. TICK Proxy: Microstructure Pressure
Measures buying vs. selling aggressiveness across the market This proxy simulates the NYSE TICK index by evaluating whether bars close above or below the prior bar.
Positive TICK → Buyers lifting offers
Negative TICK → Sellers hitting bids
Neutral TICK → No microstructure conviction
Why it matters:
Strong TICK is often the earliest sign of:
Trend initiation
Algorithmic buy/sell programs
Shifts in short‑term sentiment
Weak or choppy TICK often signals:
Range conditions
Failed breakouts
Low‑quality trend attempts
2. ADD Proxy: Market Breadth Strength
Shows how many stocks are participating in a move Because real USI:ADD data isn't available for all users, this script uses a self-contained breadth approximation built from:
Price slope
Volatility expansion
Volume‑weighted directional pressure
Why it matters? Breadth reveals whether the move is:
Broad and healthy → likely to continue
Narrow and weak → vulnerable to reversal
Strong trends require strong breadth. Weak breadth often precedes:
Failed breakouts
Reversal setups
Chop (ewww)
3. VOLD Proxy: Volume Pressure
The most important internal of all. This proxy measures whether trading volume is flowing into up bars or down bars.
Positive VOLD → Net buying pressure
Negative VOLD → Net selling pressure
Why it matters:
VOLD is considered the "truth serum" of the tape:
Strong VOLD drives trend days
Negative VOLD kills long setups
Mixed VOLD creates chop
You should rarely trend trade against VOLD.
4. Market Environment Score (–3 to +3)
The Environment Score combines the three internals into a single view:
|| Score || Interpretation || Market Type ||
| +3 | Strong Bull | Trend Day (Long) |
| +2 | Bull | Pullback Buys / Breakout Continuation |
| +1 | Mild Bull | Conservative Long Scalps |
| 0 | Neutral | CHOP – VWAP Reversions / Fades |
| -1 | Mild Bear | Short Failed Breakouts |
| -2 | Bear | Trend Shorts / Breakdown Continuation |
| -3 | Strong Bear | Trend Day (Short) |
Why it matters:
The market behaves differently depending on internal alignment. This score prevents traders from:
Forcing trend trades on chop days
Chasing breakouts when breadth is weak
Fading strong directional days
It tells you in real time whether conditions favor:
Trend following
Mean reversion
Breakout continuation
Liquidity grabs
Or sitting out
5. Trade Recommendation Engine
Based on the Environment Score, the indicator outputs a real-time playbook recommending which trade types have the highest probability of success right now.
Examples:
Score = 0 (Neutral)
VWAP Reversions
Liquidity Grabs
Failed Breakouts
Quick Scalps
Score = +2/+3 (Strong Bull)
Pullback Buys
Breakout Continuation
Trend Longs
Score = -2/-3 (Strong Bear)
Pullback Shorts
Breakdown Continuation
Trend Shorts Only
This turns the internals into a trade selection engine, not just a data display.
Why Market Internals Matter
Most indicators look only at price, but price is the result, not the cause.
Market internals show:
Where volume is flowing
Whether buying is aggressive or passive
How many stocks are participating
Whether algorithms are supporting or fighting the move
This dashboard helps traders:
Avoid chop
Stay out of low‑quality setups
Time entries with institutional flows
Improve win rate by trading the right setups at the right times
Final Notes
Works on any symbol or timeframe
Fully customizable colors
Two clean visual tables: Internals + Trade Playbook
Ideal for futures, ETFs, and options day traders

BTC – LEVR: Leverage Efficiency & Volume RatioLEVR: Leverage Efficiency & Volume Ratio
Observation-only. Data: IntoTheBlock.
Overview
The Leverage Efficiency & Volume Ratio (LEVR) is a market structure oscillator designed to detect "Paper Bubbles" and "Organic Bottoms" by separating speculative greed from network utility. While most indicators analyze price action, LEVR analyzes market fragility. It operates on the thesis that Sustainable Rallies are driven by Spot/Network Activity, while Fragile Rallies are driven by Derivatives Leverage.
Synergy
How it works with VERI
LEVR is designed to be the tactical counterpart to the fundamental VERI Indicator (Valuation & Entity Ratio Index).
Use VERI for Strategy: To identify Value. (Is Bitcoin cheap? Are Whales buying?)
Use LEVR for Risk: To identify Structure. (Is the current price move real, or is it a leverage bubble about to pop?)
The "Perfect Setup"
The strongest buy signals occur when VERI is in the Accumulation Zone (Whales buying) AND LEVR is in the Organic Zone (Leverage is flushed out) (as it was the case in the Dec 2022 Bear Market Bottom).
Why LEVR is Unique
Standard indicators often fail to contextualize Open Interest:
vs. Raw Open Interest: Raw OI always trends up over time as the market grows. LEVR solves this by normalizing OI against Active Addresses. This reveals when leverage is outpacing actual adoption.
vs. ELR (Estimated Leverage Ratio): Classic ELR divides Open Interest by Exchange Reserves. However, Exchange Reserves are notoriously difficult to track accurately. LEVR uses Active Addresses (Network Utility) as a cleaner, more reliable denominator for network health.
Methodology
The Mathematics: The indicator calculates a normalized Z-Score ratio between two IntoTheBlock datasets:
The Numerator (Greed): Perpetual Open Interest. The total dollar value of all open futures contracts. This represents the "Gambling" capital.
The Denominator (Utility): Active Addresses. The number of unique addresses transacting on-chain. This represents the "Real" user base.
The Formula : LEVR = Z-Score ( Perpetual Open Interest / Active Addresses )
How to Interpret the Visuals
The line color changes dynamically to reflect the current risk regime:
🟥 Speculative Premium (Red Line > 2.0) :
Signal: "Leverage Bubble."
Context: Open Interest is rising significantly faster than User Growth. The rally is fueled by debt.
Risk: High probability of a "Long Squeeze" or liquidation cascade.
🟦 Organic Base (Blue Line < -1.5) :
Signal: "Spot Driven Market."
Context: Speculators have been flushed out, but active network usage remains high. The line turns Blue to signal a healthy opportunity zone.
Risk: Low. Historically marks robust bottoms where hands are strong.
🟧 Neutral (Orange Line) :
The market is in a transition phase between organic growth and speculation.

Users can customize the sensitivity of the Z-Score to fit their trading style (in brackets their current standard value):
Lookback Period (365) : The rolling window used to establish the "Baseline." A 365-day window captures the yearly trend.
Signal Smoothing (7) : A short moving average to reduce daily data noise.
Bubble Zone Top/Bottom (3.0 / 2.0) : The thresholds for the Red Zone. Raising the "Top" value will only show the most extreme, generational leverage bubbles.
Organic Zone Top/Bottom (-1.5 / -2.5) : The thresholds for the Green Zone. Lowering these values requires a deeper "flush" to trigger a signal.
Optimization
This indicator is mathematically optimized for the Daily (1D) timeframe. Using it on lower timeframes may result in noise due to the daily resolution of on-chain data.
Important Note on Historical Data
Please be aware that aggregated global Perpetual Open Interest data only becomes reliable and widely available starting around 2020-2021.
Pre-2021: The indicator will show a flat line or empty values. This is not a bug; it reflects the lack of historical derivatives market data for that period.
2021-Present: The indicator functions fully as intended.

Session important reference linesThis indicator automatically plots crucial price reference points for the Regular Trading Hours (RTH) session, including Yesterday's High/Low/Close, Session Open, Midpoint, and the Initial Balance (IB) range with its 2x extension .
In the example above the lines are:
Dotted green - Today's open price
Dashed yellow - Today's mid line
Solid yellow - Initial Balance high/low
Dotted yellow - Initial Balance extension
Dotted dark green - Previous session high
Dotted dark red - Previous session low
Dotted orange - Previous session close

What This Indicator Does
This indicator scans lower-timeframe price action to identify bars where volume and candle behaviour suggest that a notable price interaction occurred. When all conditions align, the script extracts a precise price level from that bar, plots it on your higher-timeframe chart, and extends it forward so you can observe whether the market interacts with it again later.
Each selected timeframe is processed independently. For every timeframe you enable, the script looks for the following criteria:
1. A shift in candle direction between the previous bar and the current bar
2. A close-to-open body alignment , helping filter out irregular or noisy movement
3. A volume increase relative to the recent average , based on a user-selected multiplier
If these conditions are met, the script marks the corresponding price level on the chart. You can enable up to seven lower timeframes at once, each with its own independent settings, colours, strength filters, and display capacity. This allows you to build a layered, multi-timeframe view of the levels/ zones.
How It Works
1. Candle Behaviour Shift
The script checks whether the previous bar and the current bar show opposing directional behaviour. This helps highlight moments that may reflect a shift in directional behaviour or a change in price movement characteristics.
2. Body Alignment
The previous bar’s close must closely align with the current bar’s open. This requirement reduces random noise and focuses detection on areas where structure between candles is unusually clean.
3. Volume Requirement
The combined volume of the current bar and the previous bar must exceed the recent average by a multiplier you choose.
Lower multiplier - more levels
Higher multiplier - only the most significant activity spikes qualify
This filters for bars with above-average participation (volume).
4. Price Level Identification
If all conditions are met, a price edge is defined:
Bearish pressure: upper edge
Bullish pressure: lower edge
This edge marks the price level where the qualifying candle behaviour occurred.
5. Zone Drawing
Each qualifying event produces:
A horizontal line marking the level
A (optional) shaded box around the level
A label showing the timeframe and the exact volume multiplier amount detected
The level then extends forward so you can monitor future interactions.
Key Settings
Zone Strength (Volume Multiplier)
Determines how selective the volume filter is.
Lower settings show more frequent activity
Higher settings restrict detection to only the strongest activity (volume) increases
Multi-Timeframe Framework
Enable/disable per timeframe
Custom source timeframe (e.g., 1m, 5m, 15m, etc.)
Strength threshold per timeframe
How many recent levels to display per timeframe (Show Last N Zones.)
You can display a single timeframe or stack several to highlight clustering.
How traders can use this indicator
This script is not a buy/sell signal generator. It is best used as a structural overlay that helps you identify:
Where candle behaviour abruptly shifted with increased volume
Whether multiple timeframes highlight similar levels
Comparing how frequently these conditions appear across different timeframes
How price behaves when revisiting areas of prior activity (levels)
Why this type of detection can be informative
Higher-timeframe charts compress a large amount of lower-timeframe activity. By identifying where the script found notable changes in direction, structure, and relative volume on a lower timeframe, it provides a way to reference points in the price history where behaviour differed from nearby bars. Displaying these levels on a higher timeframe allows traders to see how these conditions align with their broader analysis.
Disclaimer
This indicator does not measure true liquidity or order flow. It uses candle structure and relative-volume comparisons as interpretive tools, and the plotted levels do not represent signals or predictions. All analysis is user-interpreted, and past behaviour does not imply future behaviour.
