Session-Conditioned Regime ATRWhy this exists
Classic ATR is great—until the open. The first few bars often inherit overnight gaps and 24-hour noise that have nothing to do with the intraday regime you actually trade. That inflates early ATR, scrambles thresholds, and invites hyper-recency bias (“today is crazy!”) when it’s just the open being the open.
This tool was built to:
Separate session reality from 24h noise. Measure volatility only inside your defined session (e.g., NYSE 09:30–16:00 ET).
Judge candles against the current regime, not the last 2–3 bars. A rolling statistic from the last N completed sessions defines what “typical” means right now.
Label “large” and “small” objectively. Bars are colored only when True Range meaningfully departs from the session regime—no gut feel, no open-bar distortion (gap inclusion optional).
Overview
Purpose: objectively identify unusually big or small candles within the active trading session, compared to the recent session regime.
Use cases: volatility filters, entry/exit confirmation, session bias detection, adaptive sizing.
This indicator replaces generic ATR with a session-conditioned, regime-aware measure. It colors candles only when their True Range (TR) is abnormally large/small versus the last N completed sessions of the same session window.
How it works
Session gating: Only bars inside the selected session are evaluated (presets for NYSE, CME RTH, FX NY; custom supported).
Per-bar TR: TR = max(high, prevRef) − min(low, prevRef).
prevRef is the prior close for in-session bars.
First bar of the session can include the overnight gap (optional; default off).
Regime statistic: For any bar in session k, aggregate all in-session TRs from the previous N completed sessions (k−N … k−1), then compute Median (default) or Mean.
Today’s anchor: Running statistic from today’s session start → current bar (for context and the on-chart ratio).
Color logic:
Big if TR ≥ bigMult × RegimeStat
Small if TR ≤ smallMult × RegimeStat
Colored states: big bull, big bear, small bull, small bear.
Non-triggering bars retain the chart’s native colors.
Panel (top-right by default)
Regime ATR (Nd): session-conditioned statistic over the past N completed sessions.
Today ATR (anchored): running statistic for the current session.
Ratio (Today/Regime): intraday volatility vs regime.
Sample size n: number of bars used in the regime calculation.
Inputs
Session Preset: NYSE (09:30–16:00 ET), CME RTH (08:30–15:00 CT), FX NY (08:00–17:00 ET), Custom (session + IANA timezone).
Regime Window: number of completed sessions (default 5).
Statistic: Median (robust) or Mean.
Include Open Gap: include overnight gap in the first in-session bar’s TR (default off).
Big/Small thresholds: multipliers relative to RegimeStat (defaults: Big=1.5×, Small=0.67×).
Colors: four independent colors for big/small × bull/bear.
Panel position & text size.
Hidden outputs: expose RegimeStat, TodayStat, Ratio, and Z-score to other scripts.
Alerts
RegimeATR: BIG bar — triggers when a bar meets the “Big” condition.
RegimeATR: SMALL bar — triggers when a bar meets the “Small” condition.
Hidden outputs (for strategies/screeners)
RegimeATR_stat, TodayATR_stat, Today_vs_Regime_Ratio, BarTR_Zscore.
Notes & limitations
No look-ahead: calculations only use information available up to that bar. Historical colors reflect what would have been known then.
Warm-up: colors begin once there are at least N completed sessions; before that, regime is undefined by design.
Changing inputs (session window, multipliers, median/mean, gap toggle) recomputes the full series using the same rolling regime logic per bar.
Designed for standard candles. Styling respects existing chart colors when no condition triggers.
Practical tips
For a broader or tighter notion of “unusual,” adjust Big/Small multipliers.
Prefer Median in markets prone to outliers; use Mean if you want Z-score alignment with the panel’s regime mean/std.
Use the Ratio readout to spot compression/expansion days quickly (e.g., <0.7× = compressed session, >1.3× = expanded).
Roadmap
More session presets:
24h continuous (crypto, index CFDs).
23h/Globex futures (CME ETH with a 60-minute maintenance break).
Regional equities (LSE, Xetra, TSE), Asia/Europe/NY overlaps for FX.
Half-day/holiday templates and dynamic calendars.
Multi-regime comparison: track multiple overlapping regimes (e.g., RTH vs ETH for futures) and show separate stats/ratios.
Robust stats options: trimmed mean, MAD/Huber alternatives; optional percentile thresholds instead of fixed multipliers.
Subpanel visuals: rolling TodayATR and Ratio plots; optional Z-score ribbon.
Screener/strategy hooks: export boolean series for BIG/SMALL, plus a lightweight strategy template for backtesting entries/exits conditioned on regime volatility.
Performance/QOL: per-symbol presets, smarter warm-up, and finer control over sample caps for ultra-low TF charts.

Crypto Exchange PremiumDescription: Crypto Exchange Premium
The Crypto Exchange Premium indicator is designed to quantify and visualize price disparities between different types of crypto markets — specifically between spot and perpetual futures markets, or between any two customizable sources of price data. By consolidating live data from multiple major exchanges, it creates a unified, cross-market measure of premium (or discount), helping traders identify institutional activity (i. e. by comparing exchanges with high institutional activity against others), arbitrage opportunities, and shifts in market sentiment before they become visible in price action alone.
Concept and Purpose
In cryptocurrency markets, price divergence between spot and perpetual pairs reflects the real-time interaction of demand and liquidity across market segments.
When perpetual prices trade above spot, it implies aggressive long positioning or bullish leverage (positive funding expectations).
Conversely, when spot trades above perps, it may reflect net selling pressure in futures or strong spot accumulation.
Unlike most tools that rely on funding rates or open interest alone, this indicator measures the actual traded price spread dynamically across exchanges. This allows traders to visualize the “premium curve” of the crypto market in a clear, data-driven format.
How It Works
The indicator aggregates real-time prices from a wide selection of exchanges, normalizes them into groups, and computes the difference (“premium”) between two chosen reference markets.
1. Exchange Aggregation:
Users can toggle individual exchanges for both spot and perpetual aggregation groups.
The script automatically calculates group averages by dividing the sum of all enabled exchange prices by the number of valid feeds.
Non-USD exchanges (e.g., KRW pairs on Upbit or Bithumb) are automatically converted into USD using live FX data (USDKRW) for accurate normalization.
2. Flexible Comparison Logic:
Each leg of the comparison (First vs. Second Source) can be chosen as one of:
Local chart symbol
Custom symbol
Aggregated Spot group
Aggregated Perpetual group
This allows users to compare, for example:
Binance Spot vs. Global Perp Average
Coinbase Spot vs. Binance Perp
BTCUSD vs. BTCUSDT.P (or any cross-exchange combination)
3. Premium Calculation:
The final value is computed as:
Premium = First Source Price − Second Source Price
and is plotted as a histogram (positive = green, negative = red). This visual instantly shows whether the first source trades at a premium or discount relative to the second.
How to Use
Select Data Sources:
Configure the “First Symbol” and “Second Symbol” in the settings. For most use cases:
First Symbol → Perps (Aggregated)
Second Symbol → Spot (Aggregated)
Adjust Exchange Selection:
Enable or disable individual exchanges to fine-tune your data set. For instance, disabling Korean exchanges filters out regional FX distortions.
Originality and Value
While many exchange difference or “premium indicators” track one or two exchanges, this script introduces multi-exchange aggregation, cross-market normalization, and user-configurable pairing, resulting in a more holistic and accurate reflection of market structure.
It bridges a gap between macro market breadth and microstructural price dynamics, empowering traders to:
Detect arbitrage inefficiencies between spot and perps.
Track regional price dislocations (USD vs. KRW).
Gauge the intensity of speculative leverage over time.
Anticipate funding rate shifts and liquidation clusters before they happen.
ES/NQ Price Action Sync See when ES & NQ move in syncSee when ES & NQ move in sync — revealing real market momentum at a glance.”
⚖️ ES/NQ Price Action Sync
Discover when the market moves as one.
This indicator tracks when S&P 500 Futures (ES1!) and Nasdaq Futures (NQ1!) align in momentum — helping you spot broad-market confirmation or early divergence in real time.
🧠 Concept
The ES/NQ relationship often reveals the market’s underlying strength or hesitation. When both indices turn bullish or bearish together with meaningful movement, that’s a sign of true market alignment.
When they disagree — expect mixed momentum and possible reversals.
⚙️ Features
✅ Highlights new bullish and bearish syncs on chart
✅ Dynamic info table showing % change and direction for each index
✅ Optional triangle markers for clean visual cues
✅ Alert conditions for new sync events
✅ Adjustable lookback and minimum-move filters
💡 How to Use
Use this as a market-context tool, not a direct buy/sell signal.
When both indices sync, intraday trends often hold better; when they diverge, momentum may fade.
Combine it with your own system or higher-time-frame analysis for confirmation.

Measures volatility.
Formula:
ATR = SMA(True Range, Length)
where True Range = max(High–Low, |High–Close |, |Low–Close |)
* EMA (Exponential Moving Average)
Weighted moving average giving more weight to recent prices.
Formula:
EMA = (Price × α) + (EMA × (1–α))
with α = 2 / (Length + 1)
* RSI (Relative Strength Index)
Momentum oscillator scaled 0–100.
Formula:
RSI = 100 – (100 / (1 + RS))
where RS = Avg(Gain, Length) ÷ Avg(Loss, Length)
* Candle Confirmation
Bullish candle: Close > Open AND Close > Close
Bearish candle: Close < Open AND Close < Close
Win Rate (%)
Formula:
Win Rate = (Winning Trades ÷ Total Trades) × 100
* Average Trade P&L
Formula:
Avg Trade = Net Profit ÷ Total Trades
📊 Performance Notes
The Universal Breakout Strategy is designed as a framework rather than a single-asset optimized system. Results will vary depending on the chart, timeframe, and asset chosen.
On the current defaults (15-minute, INR-denominated example), the backtest produced 132 trades over the selected period. This provides a statistically sufficient sample size.
Win rate (~35%) is relatively low, but this is balanced by a positive reward-to-risk ratio (~1.8). In practice, a lower win rate with larger wins versus smaller losses is sustainable.
The average P&L per trade is close to breakeven under default settings. This is expected, as the strategy is not tuned for a single symbol but offered as a universal breakout framework.
Commissions (0.1%) and slippage (1 tick) are included in the simulation, ensuring realistic conditions.
Risk management is conservative, with order sizing set at 1 unit per trade. This avoids over-leveraging and keeps exposure well under the 5-10% equity risk guideline.
👉 Traders are encouraged to:
Experiment with inputs such as ATR period, breakout length, or Bollinger parameters.
Test across different timeframes and instruments (equities, futures, forex, crypto) to find optimal setups.
Combine with filters (trend direction, volatility regimes, or volume conditions) for further refinement.

Trading involves risk, and users should exercise caution and use proper risk management when applying this strategy.
Volume weighted Forex Overwiew True Strenght IndexAdding volume weighting to the FOTSI strategy improves its effectiveness by making the indicator more sensitive to periods of high market activity. Here’s how:
Market Relevance: Futures volume reflects institutional and large trader participation. When volume is high, price moves are more likely to be meaningful and less likely to be noise.
Dynamic Weighting: By multiplying each currency’s momentum by its normalized futures volume, the indicator gives more weight to currencies that are actively traded at that moment, making signals more robust.
Filtering Out Noise: Low-volume periods are down-weighted, reducing the impact of illiquid or less relevant price changes.
Better Timing: Signals generated during high-volume periods are more likely to coincide with real market moves, improving entry and exit timing.
Multi-TF 👀### Multi-Timeframe Analysis (MTF-Analysis)
**Overview**
The Multi-Timeframe Analysis indicator is a powerful visualization tool designed for traders who incorporate multi-timeframe (MTF) strategies into their decision-making process. It overlays compact, customizable candle representations from up to four higher timeframes directly on your chart, positioned to the right of the last bar for quick reference. This allows you to monitor price action, momentum via EMAs, and key levels like Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) across multiple resolutions without switching charts. Built with efficiency in mind, it supports automatic timeframe detection, real-time updates, and a clean, non-intrusive design that enhances your trading workflow.
Ideal for day traders, swing traders, and scalpers, this indicator helps identify alignments between timeframes, spot potential reversals or continuations, and validate entries/exits based on higher-timeframe context. It leverages Pine Script v6 for smooth performance, with optimizations to handle up to 5000 bars back and extensive drawing limits.
**Key Features**
- **Multi-Timeframe Candle Display**: Renders recent candles (configurable from 5 to 100 per timeframe) from selected higher timeframes (e.g., 5m, 15m, 1H, 4H) as compact bars with customizable width, spacing, and padding. Bullish and bearish candles are color-coded for instant recognition.
- **Automatic Timeframe Adaptation**: When enabled, the indicator intelligently selects complementary timeframes based on your chart's resolution (e.g., on a 1m chart, it might show 5m, 15m, and 1H). Manual overrides are available for full control.
- **EMA Overlays**: Plots EMA9, EMA21, and EMA50 on each MTF section using a user-defined source (e.g., OHLC/4, close). EMAs can be dashed for clarity and enabled/disabled per timeframe, helping to gauge momentum and trend strength.
- **Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)**: Detects bullish (+FVG) and bearish (-FVG) gaps with a configurable lookback length (5-50 bars). Gaps are visualized as dotted boxes extending from the candle, highlighting potential support/resistance zones or imbalances.
- **Time Labels and Debugging**: Displays timestamp labels under every fourth candle for chronological context. A debug mode expands spacing and adds detailed labels (e.g., OHLC, volume, EMA values) for testing and verification.
- **Customization Options**: Extensive inputs for colors (bodies, wicks, EMAs, FVGs), label sizes/styles, and layout ensure seamless integration with your chart theme. Supports futures symbols with a time offset adjustment.
- **Performance Optimizations**: Uses arrays for efficient data management, clears drawings on realtime updates or timeframe changes, and limits buffer sizes to prevent overload.
**How to Use**
1. Add the indicator to your chart via TradingView's "Indicators" menu.
2. Configure timeframes: Enable/disable up to four TFs and set the number of candles to display. Use "Auto Timeframe" for smart defaults.
3. Adjust EMAs: Select the source type and toggle per TF to focus on relevant momentum signals (e.g., EMA9 crossovers for short-term trades).
4. Enable FVGs: Activate per TF and tweak the length to suit your market (shorter for volatile assets, longer for trends).
5. Fine-tune appearance: Modify padding, candle width, and colors to avoid clutter. Use debug mode during setup.
6. Interpret: Align your chart's price action with MTF candles—look for confluence in trends, FVGs filling as support/resistance, or EMA alignments for high-probability setups.
**Input Settings**
- **General**: Hour offset for time adjustments (useful for futures).
- **Timeframes**: Enable TFs 1-4, select resolutions (e.g., "5m"), and set candle counts. Auto mode simplifies this.
- **FVG/iFVG**: Toggle per TF, customize colors and detection length.
- **EMA**: Enable per TF, choose source, colors, and dashed style.
- **Candle Appearance**: Bull/bear colors for bodies/wicks, width/spacing/padding, label size/color.
- **Debug**: Expands view for detailed inspection.
**Notes**
- This indicator is non-repainting and updates in realtime, but performance may vary on lower timeframes with many candles—reduce counts if needed.
- FVGs are calculated locally on recent bars for efficiency; historical gaps beyond the buffer aren't shown.
- Compatible with all symbols, but best on volatile markets like forex, crypto, or indices.
- Feedback welcome—updates may include more MA types or advanced FVG filters.

Bar Statistics - DELTA/OI/TOTAL/BUY/SELL/LONGS/SHORTSBar Statistics - Advanced Volume & Open Interest Analysis
Overview
The Bar Statistics indicator is a comprehensive analytical tool designed to provide traders with detailed insights into market microstructure through advanced volume analysis, open interest tracking, and market flow detection. This indicator transforms complex market data into easily digestible visual information, displaying six key metrics in customizable colored boxes that update in real-time.
Unlike traditional volume indicators that only show basic volume data, this indicator combines multiple data sources to reveal the underlying forces driving price movement, including volume delta calculations from lower timeframes, open interest changes, and estimated market positioning.
What Makes This Indicator Unique
1. Multi-Timeframe Volume Delta Precision
The indicator utilizes lower timeframe data (default 1-second) to calculate highly accurate volume delta measurements, providing much more precise buy/sell pressure analysis than standard timeframe-based calculations. This approach captures intraday volume dynamics that are often missed by conventional indicators.
2. Real-Time Updates
Unlike many indicators that only update on bar completion, this tool provides live updates for the developing candle, allowing traders to see evolving market conditions as they happen.
3. Market Flow Analysis
The unique "L/S" (Long/Short) metric combines open interest changes with price/volume direction to estimate net market positioning, helping identify when participants are accumulating or distributing positions.
4. Adaptive Visual Intensity
The gradient color system automatically adjusts based on historical context, making it easy to identify when current values are significant relative to recent market activity.
5. Complete Customization
Every aspect of the display can be customized, from the order of metrics to individual color schemes, allowing traders to adapt the tool to their specific analysis needs.
6.All In One Solution
6 Metrics in one indicator no more using 5 different indicators.
Core Features Explained
DELTA (Volume Delta)
What it shows: Net difference between aggressive buy volume and aggressive sell volume
Calculation: Uses lower timeframe data to determine whether each trade was initiated by buyers or sellers
Interpretation:
Positive values indicate aggressive buying pressure
Negative values indicate aggressive selling pressure
Magnitude indicates the strength of directional pressure
OI Δ (Open Interest Change)
What it shows: Change in open interest from the previous bar
Data source: Fetches open interest data using the "_OI" symbol suffix
Interpretation:
Positive values indicate new positions entering the market
Negative values indicate positions being closed

By combining multiple data sources into a single, customizable display, it provides the depth of analysis needed for comprehensive market microstructure understanding while maintaining the simplicity required for effective decision-making.
EMA / WMA RibbonMomentum Flow Ribbon
Unlock a clear, visual edge in identifying short-term momentum shifts with the Momentum Flow Ribbon.
This indicator was born from a simple yet powerful concept: to visually represent the dynamic relationship between a fast-reacting Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and the smoother, more methodical Wilder's Moving Average (WMA). While both moving averages use the same length, their unique calculation methods cause them to separate and cross, creating a "ribbon" that provides an immediate and intuitive gauge of market momentum.
This tool is designed for the disciplined trader who values clean charts and actionable signals, helping you to execute your strategies with greater confidence and precision.
How It Works
The script plots an EMA and a Wilder's Moving Average (referred to as rma in Pine Script) of the same length. The space between these two lines is then filled with a colored ribbon:
Bullish Green/Teal: The ribbon turns bullish when the faster EMA crosses above the slower Wilder's MA, indicating that short-term momentum is strengthening to the upside.
Bearish Red: The ribbon turns bearish when the EMA crosses below the Wilder's MA, signaling that short-term momentum is shifting to the downside.
The inherent "lag" of the Wilder's MA, a feature designed by J. Welles Wilder Jr. himself, acts as a steady baseline against which the more sensitive EMA can be measured. The result is a simple, zero-lag visual that filters out insignificant noise and highlights meaningful changes in trend direction.
Key Features
Customizable Length and Source: Easily adjust the moving average length and price source (close, hl2, etc.) to fit your specific trading style and the instrument you are trading, from futures like MES and MNQ to cryptocurrencies and forex.
Customizable Colors: Tailor the ribbon's bullish and bearish colors to match your personal chart aesthetic.
Built-in Alerts: The script includes pre-configured alerts for both bullish (EMA crosses above WMA) and bearish (EMA crosses below WMA) signals. Never miss a potential momentum shift again.
Clean & Lightweight: No clutter. Just a simple, effective ribbon that integrates seamlessly into any trading system.
Practical Application for the Discerning Trader
For a futures trader, timing is everything. This ribbon is not just another indicator; it's a tool for confirmation.
Imagine you've identified a key level—a Volume Profile POC, the previous day's low, or a critical accumulation zone. As price approaches this level pre-London session, you're watching for a sign of institutional activity. A flip in the ribbon's color at that precise moment can provide the powerful confirmation you need to enter a trade, trusting that you are aligning with the building liquidity and momentum heading into the New York open.
This is a tool for those who aspire to greatness in their trading—who understand that the edge is found not in complexity, but in the flawless execution of a simple, well-defined plan.
Add the Momentum Flow Ribbon to your chart and start seeing momentum in a clearer light.

Funding Rate Aggregated (Lite)Funding Rate Aggregated (Lite) provides traders with a consolidated view of perpetual futures funding rates across multiple major exchanges. Instead of monitoring each market individually, the script aggregates the available data into a single, average funding rate series—streamlining analysis and helping identify market-wide positioning imbalances.
The indicator supports Binance, Bybit, OKX, Bitget, and Coinbase, with user-controlled toggles to enable or disable specific venues. For exchanges offering multiple quote currencies (e.g., USDT, USD, or USDC pairs) inclusion is based on whether their trading activity (volume) is relevant (determined manually, not via code). Each available rate is checked and included in the calculation only if valid, ensuring the average reflects actual market conditions.
From a technical standpoint, the script:
Retrieves real-time funding rate data directly via request.security for the current symbol’s base currency.
Applies standard formatting similar to TradingView's official indicator.
Visualizes the average funding rate with color-coded plotting (green for positive, red for negative), alongside a neutral zero reference line.
Why it is useful:
Funding rates are a direct measure of long/short market bias in perpetual swaps. Persistently high positive rates often indicate overcrowded longs, while negative rates can reveal excessive shorting.
By combining multiple exchanges into one metric, traders gain a more robust signal, reducing noise from isolated exchange-specific anomalies.
This aggregated perspective can assist in timing contrarian trades, spotting funding-driven inefficiencies, and gauging overall market sentiment.
Applications in trading include:
Sentiment analysis: Assess whether perpetual futures traders are leaning heavily long or short.
Cross-exchange confirmation: Ensure that extreme funding isn’t confined to a single venue.
Risk management: Identify periods of elevated funding costs that may erode profitability in longer-term positions.
Strategy filters: Integrate the aggregated rate as a condition for entries/exits, or to adjust position sizing during extremes.
The Lite designation emphasizes simplicity and efficiency: the indicator avoids unnecessary visual and data-driven clutter and focuses on delivering one clear, aggregated signal that can be adapted to a wide range of trading styles.
Dynamic Swing Anchored VWAP STRAT (Zeiierman/PineIndicators)Dynamic Swing Anchored VWAP STRATEGY — Zeiierman × PineIndicators (Pine Script v6)
A pivot-to-pivot Anchored VWAP strategy that adapts to volatility, enters long on bullish structure, and closes on bearish structure. Built for TradingView in Pine Script v6.
Full credits to zeiierman.
Repainting notice: The original indicator logic is repainting. Swing labels (HH/HL/LH/LL) are finalized after enough bars have printed, so labels do not occur in real time. It is not possible to execute at historical label points. Treat results as educational and validate with Bar Replay and paper trading before considering any discretionary use.
Concept
The script identifies swing highs/lows over a user-defined lookback ( Swing Period ). When structure flips (most recent swing low is newer than the most recent swing high, or vice versa), a new regime begins.
At each confirmed pivot, a fresh Anchored VWAP segment is started and updated bar-by-bar using an EWMA-style decay on price×volume and volume.
Responsiveness is controlled by Adaptive Price Tracking (APT) . Optionally, APT auto-adjusts with an ATR ratio so that high volatility accelerates responsiveness and low volatility smooths it.
Longs are opened/held in bullish regimes and closed when the regime turns bearish. No short positions are taken by design.
How it works (under the hood)
Swing detection: Uses ta.highestbars / ta.lowestbars over prd to update swing highs (ph) and lows (pl), plus their bar indices (phL, plL).
Regime logic: If phL > plL → bullish regime; else → bearish regime. A change in this condition triggers a re-anchor of the VWAP at the newest pivot.
Adaptive VWAP math: APT is converted to an exponential decay factor ( alphaFromAPT ), then applied to running sums of price×volume and volume, producing the current VWAP estimate.
Rendering: Each pivot-anchored VWAP segment is drawn as a polyline and color-coded by regime. Optional structure labels (HH/HL/LH/LL) annotate the swing character.
Orders: On bullish flips, strategy.entry("L") opens/maintains a long; on bearish flips, strategy.close("L") exits.
Inputs & controls
Swing Period (prd) — Higher values identify larger, slower swings; lower values catch more frequent pivots but add noise.
Adaptive Price Tracking (APT) — Governs the VWAP’s “half-life.” Smaller APT → faster/closer to price; larger APT → smoother/stabler.
Adapt APT by ATR ratio — When enabled, APT scales with volatility so the VWAP speeds up in turbulent markets and slows down in quiet markets.
Volatility Bias — Tunes the strength of APT’s response to volatility (above 1 = stronger effect; below 1 = milder).
Style settings — Colors for swing labels and VWAP segments, plus line width for visibility.
Trade logic summary
Entry: Long when the swing structure turns bullish (latest swing low is more recent than the last swing high).
Exit: Close the long when structure turns bearish.
Position size: qty = strategy.equity / close × 5 (dynamic sizing; scales with account equity and instrument price). Consider reducing the multiplier for a more conservative profile.
Recommended workflow
Apply to instruments with reliable volume (equities, futures, crypto; FX tick volume can work but varies by broker).
Start on your preferred timeframe. Intraday often benefits from smaller APT (more reactive); higher timeframes may prefer larger APT (smoother).
Begin with defaults ( prd=50, APT=20 ); then toggle “Adapt by ATR” and vary Volatility Bias to observe how segments tighten/loosen.
Use Bar Replay to watch how pivots confirm and how the strategy re-anchors VWAP at those confirmations.
Layer your own risk rules (stops/targets, max position cap, session filters) before any discretionary use.
Practical tips
Context filter: Consider combining with a higher-timeframe bias (e.g., daily trend) and using this strategy as an entry timing layer.
First pivot preference: Some traders prefer only the first bullish pivot after a bearish regime (and vice versa) to reduce whipsaw in choppy ranges.
Deviations: You can add VWAP deviation bands to pre-plan partial exits or re-entries on mean-reversion pulls.
Sessions: Session-based filters (RTH vs. ETH) can materially change behavior on futures and equities.
Extending the script (ideas)
Add stops/targets (e.g., ATR stop below last swing low; partial profits at k×VWAP deviation).
Introduce mirrored short logic for two-sided testing.
Include alert conditions for regime flips or for price-VWAP interactions.
Incorporate HTF confirmation (e.g., only long when daily VWAP slope ≥ 0).
Throttle entries (e.g., once per regime flip) to avoid over-trading in ranges.
Known limitations
Repainting: Swing labels and pivot confirmations depend on future bars; historical labels can look “perfect.” Treat them as annotations, not executable signals.
Execution realism: Strategy includes commission and slippage fields, yet actual fills differ by venue/liquidity.
No guarantees: Past behavior does not imply future results. This publication is for research/education only and not financial advice.
Defaults (backtest environment)
Initial capital: 10,000
Commission value: 0.01
Slippage: 1
Overlay: true
Max bars back: 5000; Max labels/polylines set for deep swing histories
Quick checklist
Add to chart and verify that the instrument has volume.
Use defaults, then tune APT and Volatility Bias with/without ATR adaptation.
Observe how each pivot re-anchors VWAP and how regime flips drive entries/exits.
Paper trade across several symbols/timeframes before any discretionary decisions.

Cumulative Volume Delta Candles Aggregated (Lite)Cumulative Volume Delta Candles Aggregated (Lite)
Multi-Exchange CVD Visualization in Candle Format
This indicator provides an aggregated Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) view across multiple major perpetual futures exchanges in one chart. It is designed for traders who want a broader perspective on buying and selling pressure without switching between multiple charts or relying on a single exchange feed.
What It Does
Combines volume delta data from Binance, Bybit, OKX, Bitget, and Coinbase into a unified representation.
Displays CVD as candlesticks, where each candle reflects the open, high, low, and close of cumulative delta for the selected period.
Offers a clear visual of how buying and selling pressure evolves across markets in a structured, familiar candle format.
Key Features
✔ Exchange Aggregation: Incorporates data from several top futures markets available on TradingView.
✔ Anchor Reset: Allows you to set an anchor timeframe (e.g., daily) to reset cumulative values for better readability and analysis.
✔ Unit Normalization: Since exchanges report volumes in different units, the indicator normalizes all data and outputs values denominated in the base currency (coins) for consistency.
✔ Hidden OHLC Outputs: Provides open, high, low, and close values as hidden plots for use with other indicators or strategies.
✔ Lightweight Design: Optimized for efficiency while handling multiple real-time data requests.
Why It’s Different
Unlike standard single-exchange CVD tools, this indicator aggregates the majority of perpetual volume data available on TradingView, offering a more representative view of market sentiment. The candle-based representation of CVD introduces an additional layer of structure, helping traders identify shifts in momentum and pressure with more context than a simple cumulative line.
Use Cases
- Spotting aggregated buy/sell pressure trends across multiple exchanges.
- Confirming breakout or reversal signals with broader volume delta context.
- Serving as a custom data source for other indicators or algorithmic strategies.
ForecastForecast (FC), indicator documentation
Type: Study, not a strategy
Primary timeframe: 1D chart, most plots and the on-chart table only render on daily bars
Inspiration: Robert Carver’s “forecast” concept from Advanced Futures Trading Strategies, using normalized, capped signals for comparability across markets
⸻
What the indicator does
FC builds a volatility-normalized momentum forecast for a chosen symbol, optionally versus a benchmark. It combines an EWMAC composite with a channel breakout composite, then caps the result to a common scale. You can run it in three data modes:
• Absolute: Forecast of the selected symbol
• Relative: Forecast of the ratio symbol / benchmark
• Combined: Average of Absolute and Relative
A compact table can summarize the current forecast, short-term direction on the forecast EMAs, correlation versus the benchmark, and ATR-scaled distances to common price EMAs.
⸻
PineScreener, relative-strength screening
This indicator is excellent for screening on relative strength in PineScreener, since the forecast is volatility-normalized and capped on a common scale.
Available PineScreener columns
PineScreener reads the plotted series. You will see at least these columns:
• FC, the capped forecast
• from EMA20, (price − EMA20) / ATR in ATR multiples
• from EMA50, (price − EMA50) / ATR in ATR multiples
• ATR, ATR as a percent of price
• Corr, weekly correlation with the chosen benchmark
Relative mode and Combined mode are recommended for cross-sectional screens. In Relative mode the calculation uses symbol / benchmark, so ensure the ratio ticker exists for your data source.
⸻
How it works, step by step
1. Volatility model
Compute exponentially weighted mean and variance of daily percent returns on D, annualize, optionally blend with a long lookback using 10y %, then convert to a price-scaled sigma.
2. EWMAC momentum, three legs
Daily legs: EMA(8) − EMA(32), EMA(16) − EMA(64), EMA(32) − EMA(128).
Divide by price-scaled sigma, multiply by leg scalars, cap to Cap = 20, average, then apply a small FDM factor.
3. Breakout momentum, three channels
Smoothed position inside 40, 80, and 160 day channels, each scaled, then averaged.
4. Composite forecast
Average the EWMAC composite and the breakout composite, then cap to ±20.
Relative mode runs the same logic on symbol / benchmark.
Combined mode averages Absolute and Relative composites.
5. Weekly correlation
Pearson correlation between weekly closes of the asset and the benchmark over a user-set length.
6. Direction overlay
Two EMAs on the forecast series plus optional green or red background by sign, and optional horizontal level shading around 0, ±5, ±10, ±15, ±20.
⸻
Plots
• FC, capped forecast on the daily chart
• 8-32 Abs, 8-32 Rel, single-leg EWMAC plus breakout view
• 8-32-128 Abs, 8-32-128 Rel, three-leg composite views
• from EMA20, from EMA50, (price − EMA) / ATR
• ATR, ATR as a percent of price
• Corr, weekly correlation with the benchmark
• Forecast EMA1 and EMA2, EMAs of the forecast with an optional fill
• Backgrounds and guide lines, optional sign-based background, optional 0, ±5, ±10, ±15, ±20 guides
Most plots and the table are gated by timeframe.isdaily. Set the chart to 1D to see them.
⸻
Inputs
Symbol selection

Table settings
• Position, background, opacity, text size, text color
Lines
• 0-lines, 10-lines, 5-lines, level guides
⸻
Reading the outputs
• Forecast > 0, bullish tilt; Forecast < 0, bearish or hedge tilt
• ±10 and ±20 indicate strength on a uniform scale
• EMA1 vs EMA2 on the forecast, EMA1 above EMA2 suggests improving momentum
• Table rows, label colored by sign, current forecast value plus a green or red dot for the forecast EMA cross, optional daily return percent, weekly correlation, and ATR-scaled EMA9, EMA20, EMA50 distances
⸻
Data handling, repainting, and performance
• Daily and weekly series are fetched with request.security().
• Calculations use closed bars, values can update until the bar closes.
• No lookahead, historical values do not repaint.
• Weekly correlation updates during the week, it finalizes on weekly close.
• On intraday charts most visuals are hidden by design.
⸻
Good practice and limitations
• This is a research indicator, not a trading system.
• The fixed Cap = 20 keeps a common scale, extreme moves will be clipped.
• Relative mode depends on the ratio symbol / benchmark, ensure both legs have data for your feed.

BTC CME Gap – detector & single signals# BTC CME Gap — Detector & Single Signals (Pine v5)
**What it does**
This indicator finds the **weekend gap** on **CME Bitcoin futures** and turns it into a clean, tradable object:
* Draws a **gap zone** (Friday close ↔ Monday open) as a right-extending box.
* Fires **one-time signals** per gap:
* **ENTER** – first touch of the gap zone by price.
* **FILL** – gap is considered filled when price tags **Friday’s close**.
It works on any BTC chart (spot or futures). The gap itself is calculated from **CME\:BTC1!** daily data.
---
## How it works
1. Pulls **daily** `open`/`close` from `CME:BTC1!` (`request.security`, no lookahead).
2. On **Monday**, compares Monday **open** with previous **Friday close**:
* If different → a **gap** exists.
3. Defines the zone:
* `gapTop = max(MonOpen, FriClose)`
* `gapBot = min(MonOpen, FriClose)`
4. Renders a box + boundary lines, **extending right** until price action resolves it.
5. Signals:
* **ENTER**: the first bar that **enters** the gap zone.
* **FILL**: first bar that **touches Friday close** (gap completion).
6. Each new Monday gap **replaces** the previous box and signals.
---
## Inputs
* **CME symbol** (default `CME:BTC1!`)
* **Gap timeframe** (default `D`)
* **Colors** for the box and edges
---
## Plot & Signals
* **Box** = visual gap zone (transparent fill, outlined).
* **ENTER** = triangle up below bar.
* **FILL** = triangle down above bar.
* Optional label prints **Top / Bottom / Fill** levels.
---
## Notes on behavior
* Uses `barmerge.lookahead_off` and daily aggregation, so the gap definition **does not repaint** once Monday’s daily bar is confirmed.
* Signals are **single-shot** per gap (no clutter).
* Works on any chart timeframe; the gap logic always references **CME daily**.
---
## Practical use
* Track obvious **“magnets”** for mean-reversion, stop-runs, or liquidity grabs.
* Combine with your higher-timeframe bias (e.g., **1D trend filter**) and execution on **4H/1H**.
* Typical outcomes: quick Monday fill, staged fill after partial rejection, or delayed fill during later consolidation.
---
## Customization ideas
* Add `alertcondition(enterSignal, …)` / `alertcondition(fillSignal, …)` for automation.
* Gate trades with trend filters (EMA/SMA, Kernel regression, ADX) or session tools (VWAP/POC).
* Persist multiple historical gap boxes if you want to track **unfilled** gaps.
---
**Credits**: Built for BTC CME weekend gaps; minimal, publication-ready visualization with single-event signals to keep charts clean.
Scalping Line Strategy📌 Scalping Line Strategy – A Precision Crossover System
🔎 Overview
The Scalping Line Strategy is a short-term trading system built around the concept of momentum-driven crossovers between a smoothed moving average filter and a fast signal line. It is designed for scalpers and intraday traders who seek clear entry signals, minimal lag, and adaptive filtering to fit volatile market conditions.
At its core, the strategy uses a custom signal line ("Scalping Line"), which is derived from the difference between a double-smoothed moving average and a shorter-period signal line. Trade entries are triggered when this Scalping Line crosses above or below zero, providing a clean and rules-based framework for both long and short setups.
⚙️ Core Logic
Main Trend Filter – A double-smoothed moving average is calculated over a configurable period (default 100). This reduces noise and provides a more robust backbone for scalping signals.
Percent-Based Filter – To avoid false signals, a customizable percentage filter adjusts how closely the system “respects” price deviations from the moving average. This helps filter out insignificant fluctuations.
Signal Line – A shorter-period simple moving average (default 7) provides faster responsiveness to recent price action.
Scalping Line (SLI) – Calculated as the difference between the fast signal line and the smoothed moving average. When the SLI crosses zero, it signals a potential momentum shift.
SLI > 0 → Momentum bias is bullish.
SLI < 0 → Momentum bias is bearish.
🎯 Trade Direction & Flexibility
Trade Direction Control:
Choose between Long Only, Short Only, or Both to tailor the system to your trading style.
Signal Flip Option:
By default, long entries occur when the SLI crosses below zero, and shorts when it crosses above zero. This orientation can be flipped, allowing for alternative interpretations of the signals depending on how you want to capture momentum in your market.
🕒 Time Window Filtering
For intraday traders, a time filter can be enabled to restrict signals to specific trading sessions (e.g., 9 AM – 4 PM EST). This is particularly useful when trading assets such as equities or futures that have strong intraday volatility windows.
📈 Visuals & Clarity
Scalping Line Plot: Displayed as a dynamic oscillator around a zero baseline.
Histogram Fill: Green when above zero (bullish bias), red when below zero (bearish bias).
Signal Markers: Clear arrows mark long and short entries at crossover points.
Zero Line Reference: A flat gray line at zero assists in visually gauging momentum shifts.
🚀 Strategy Execution
Long Entry: Triggered when SLI crosses below zero (or above zero if flip is enabled) within allowed session hours.
Short Entry: Triggered when SLI crosses above zero (or below zero if flip is enabled) within allowed session hours.
Built-in Signal Cancels: Pending entries are canceled if conditions are no longer valid, ensuring no stale trades remain active.
✅ Best Use Cases
Markets: Works across equities, forex, crypto, and futures with sufficient intraday volatility.
Timeframes: Most effective on 1m to 15m charts for scalping setups, but adaptable to higher frames for swing trading.
Style: Traders who appreciate simple, rules-based momentum crossovers will find this system easy to follow and highly adaptable.
⚠️ Risk Management Note
This strategy is strictly an entry signal framework. Position sizing, stop-loss, and take-profit rules must be overlaid based on your risk management style. Always validate results with backtesting and forward testing before applying to live trading accounts.
📜 Final Thoughts
The Scalping Line Strategy offers a refined, easy-to-interpret approach to intraday trading. By combining smoothed moving averages, adaptive filtering, and flexible signal options, it helps traders identify short-term momentum shifts with clarity and confidence, making it a highly configurable tool for scalping-focused strategies.
RTH Levels: VWAP + PDH/PDL + ONH/ONL + IBAlgo Index — Levels Pro (ONH/ONL • PDH/PDL • VWAP±Bands • IB • Gaps)
Purpose. A session-aware, non-repainting levels tool for intraday decision-making. Designed for futures and indices, with clean visuals, alerts, and a one-click Minimal Mode for screenshot-ready charts.
What it plots
• PDH/PDL (RTH-only) – Prior Regular Trading Hours high/low, computed intraday and frozen at the RTH close (no 24h mix-ups, no repainting).
• ONH/ONL – Prior Overnight high/low, held throughout RTH.
• RTH VWAP with ±σ bands – Volume-weighted variance, reset each RTH.
• Initial Balance (IB) – First N minutes of RTH, plus 1.5× / 2.0× extensions after IB completes.
• Today’s RTH Open & Prior RTH Close – With gap detection and “gap filled” alert.
• Killzone shading – NY Open (09:30–10:30 ET) and Lunch (11:15–13:30 ET).
• Values panel (top-right) – Each level with live distance in points & ticks.
• Right-edge level tags – With anti-overlap (stagger + vertical jitter).
• Price-scale tags – Native trackprice markers that always “stick” to the axis.
⸻
New in v6.4
• Minimal Mode: one click for a clean look (thinner lines, VWAP bands/IB extensions hidden, on-chart right-edge labels off; price-scale tags remain).
• Theme presets: Dark Hi-Contrast / Light Minimal / Futures Classic / Muted Dark.
• Anti-overlap controls: horizontal staggering, vertical jitter, and baseline offset to keep tags readable even when levels cluster.
⸻
Quick start (2 minutes)
1. Add to chart → keep defaults.
2. Sessions (ET):
• RTH Session default: 09:30–16:00 (US equities cash hours).
• Overnight Session default: 18:00–09:29.
Adjust for your market if you use different “day” hours (e.g., many use 08:20–13:30 ET for COMEX Gold).
3. Theme & Minimal Mode: pick a Theme Preset; enable Minimal Mode for screenshots.
4. Visibility: toggle PD/ON/VWAP/IB/References/Panel to taste.
5. Right-edge labels: turn Show Right-Edge Labels on. If they crowd, tune:
• Anti-overlap: min separation (ticks)
• Horizontal offset per tag (bars)
• Vertical jitter per step (ticks)
• Right-edge baseline offset (bars)
6. Alerts: open Add alert → Condition: and pick the events you want.
⸻
How levels are computed (no repainting)
• PDH/PDL: Intraday H/L are accumulated only while in RTH and saved at RTH close for “yesterday’s” values.
• ONH/ONL: Accumulated across the defined Overnight window and then held during RTH.
• RTH VWAP & ±σ: Volume-weighted mean and standard deviation, reset at the RTH open.
• IB: First N minutes of RTH (default 60). Extensions (1.5×/2.0×) appear after IB completes.
• Gaps: Today’s RTH open vs prior RTH close; “Gap Filled” triggers when price trades back to prior close.
⸻
Practical playbooks (how to trade around the levels)
1) PDH/PDL interactions
• Rejection: Price taps PDH/PDL then closes back inside → mean-reversion toward VWAP/IB.
• Acceptance: Close/hold beyond PDH/PDL with momentum → continuation to next HTF/IB target.
• Alert: PD Touch/Break.
2) ONH/ONL “taken”
• Often one ON extreme is taken during RTH. ONH Taken / ONL Taken → check if it’s a clean break or sweep & reclaim.
• Sweep + reclaim near VWAP can fuel rotations through the ON range.
3) VWAP ±σ framework
• Balanced: First tag of ±1σ often reverts toward VWAP.
• Trend: Persistent trade beyond ±1σ + IB break → target ±2σ/±3σ.
• Alerts: VWAP Cross and VWAP Reject (cross then immediate fail back).
4) IB breaks
• After IB completes, a clean IB break commonly targets 1.5× and sometimes 2.0×.
• Quick return inside IB = possible fade back to the opposite IB edge/VWAP.
• Alerts: IB Break Up / Down.
5) Gaps
• Gap-and-go: Opening drive away from prior close + VWAP support → trend until IB completion.
• Gap-fill: Weak open and VWAP overhead/underfoot → trade toward prior close; manage on Gap Filled alert.
Pro tip: Stack confluences (e.g., ONL sweep + VWAP reclaim + IB hold) and respect your execution rules (e.g., require a 5-minute close in direction, or your order-flow confirmation).
⸻
Inputs you’ll actually touch
• Sessions (ET): Session Timezone, RTH Session, Overnight Session.
• Visibility: toggles for PD/ON/VWAP/IB/Ref/Panel.

• Use Theme Preset that matches your chart.
• For dark charts, “Dark Hi-Contrast” with Main Line Width = 3 works well.
• Enable Trackprice for crisp axis tags that always stick to the right edge.
• Turn on Minimal Mode for cleaner screenshots (no VWAP bands or IB extensions, on-chart tags off; price-scale tags remain).
• If tags crowd, increase min separation (ticks) to 30–60 and horizontal offset to 3–5; add vertical jitter (4–12 ticks) and/or push tags farther right with baseline offset (bars).

Behavior & limitations
• Levels are computed incrementally; tables refresh on the last bar for efficiency.
• Right-edge labels are placed at bar_index + offset and do not track extra right-margin scrolling (TradingView limitation). The price-scale tags (from trackprice) do track the axis.
• “RTH” is what you define in inputs. If your market uses different day hours, change the session strings so PDH/PDL reflect your definition of “yesterday’s session.”

FAQ
Q: My PDH/PDL don’t match the daily chart.
A: By design this uses RTH-only highs/lows, not 24h daily bars. Adjust sessions if you want a different definition.
Q: Right-edge tags overlap or don’t sit at the far right.
A: Increase min separation / horizontal offset / vertical jitter and/or push tags farther with baseline offset. If you want markers that always hug the axis, rely on Trackprice.
Q: Can I change killzones?
A: Yes—edit the session strings in settings or request a version with user inputs for custom windows.

FVG + Bank Level Targeting w/ Alert TriggerDescription:
FVG + Bank Level Targeting w/ Alert Trigger is an intraday trading tool that combines Fair Value Gap (FVG) detection with dynamic institutional targeting using prior-day, weekly, and monthly high/low "Bank Levels." When a Fair Value Gap is detected, the script projects a logical target using the closest bank level in price's direction, and visually extends that level on your chart.
This tool is designed to help traders anticipate where price is most likely to move after an FVG appears — and alert them when price breaks through key target zones.
How It Works:
* Bank Level Calculation:
The indicator calculates Daily, Weekly, and Monthly high and low levels from the previous bar of each respective timeframe.
These are optionally plotted on the chart with a slight tick offset to avoid overlap with price.
* FVG Detection:
Bullish FVGs are defined by a gap between the low of the current candle and the high two candles prior, with a confirming middle candle.
Bearish FVGs follow the reverse pattern.
Once detected, the script finds the nearest unbroken institutional level (Bank Level) in the direction of the FVG and anchors a target line at that price level.
* Target Line Projection:
The script draws a persistent horizontal line (not just a plotted value) at the selected bank level.
These lines automatically extend a set number of bars into the future for clarity and trade planning.
* Breakout Detection:
When price crosses above a Bull Target or below a Bear Target, the script triggers a breakout condition.
These breakouts are useful for trade continuation or reversal setups.
* Alerts:
Built-in alert conditions notify you in real time when price crosses above or below a target.
These can be used to set TradingView alerts for your preferred Futures symbols or intraday pairs.
Parameters:
Tick Offset Multiplier: Adds distance between price and plotted levels.
Show Daily/Weekly/Monthly Levels: Toggle for each institutional level group.
FVG Extend Right (bars): Controls how far the target lines extend into the future.
Color Controls: Customize colors for FVG fill and target lines.
Use Case:
This indicator is designed for traders who want to:
Trade continuation or reversal moves around institutional price zones
Integrate Fair Value Gap concepts with more logical, historically anchored price targets
Trigger alerts when market structure evolves around key levels
It is especially useful for intraday Futures traders on the 15-minute chart or lower, but adapts well to any instrument with strong reactionary behavior at prior session highs/lows.

XAUUSD to GC1! ConverterThis simple utility indicator compares the spot gold price (XAUUSD) with the COMEX gold futures contract (GC1!).
It calculates the current spread between the two instruments and allows you to input a signal price on XAUUSD to instantly see the equivalent price on GC1!.
Perfect for traders who receive alerts on spot gold but execute on futures, ensuring seamless price adaptation.
GLD GC Price Converter Its primary function is to fetch the prices of the Gold ETF (ticker: GLD) and Gold Futures (ticker: GC1!) and then project significant price levels from one or both of these assets onto the chart of whatever instrument you are currently viewing.
Core Functionality & Features
Dual Asset Tracking: The script simultaneously tracks the prices of GLD and Gold Futures (GC).
Dynamic Price Level Projection: The script's main feature is its ability to calculate and draw horizontal price levels. It determines a "base price" (e.g., the nearest $100 level for GC) and then draws lines at specified increments above and below it. The key is that these levels are projected onto the current chart's price scale.
On-Chart Information Display:
Price Table: A customizable table can be displayed in any corner of the chart, showing the current prices of GLD and GC. It can also show the daily percentage change for GC, colored green for positive changes and red for negative ones.
Last Price Label: It can show a label next to the most recent price bar that displays the current prices of both GLD and GC.
Extensive Customization: The user has significant control over the indicator's appearance and behavior through the settings panel.
This includes:
Toggling the display for GLD and GC levels independently.
Adjusting the multiplier for the price levels (e.g., show levels every $100 or $50 for GC).
Changing the colors, line styles (solid, dashed, dotted), and horizontal offset for the labels.
Defining the number of price levels to display.
Controlling the text size for labels and the table.
Choosing whether the script updates on every tick or only once per candle close for better performance.
