Accumulation Swing Index The Accumulation Swing Index is a cumulative total of the Swing Index.
The Accumulation Swing Index was developed by Welles Wilder.
The SwingIndex function was developed to help cut through the maze of
Open, High, Low and Close prices to indicate the real strength and direction
of the market. The Swing Index function looks at the Open, High, Low and
Close values for a two-bar period. The theory is that there are four cross-bar
and one intra-bar comparisons that are strong indicators of an up or down day.
The Swing Index returns a number between -100 and 100. If the factors point toward
an up day, then the function value will be positive and vice versa. In this way,
the Swing Index gives us definite short-term swing points, and it can be used to
supplement other methods as a breakout indicator. A breakout is indicated when the
value of the Accumulation Swing Index (ASI) exceeds the ASI value on the day when a
previous significant High Swing Point was made. A downside breakout is indicated when
the value of the ASI drops below the ASI value on a day when a previous significant
low swing point was made.
Since only futures have a relative daily limit value, this function only makes sense
when applied to a futures contract. If you use this function and it only plots a zero
flat line, check the Daily Limit value.

The SHIFT - Signal Harmonic Inflection Flow Tracker🔄 THE SHIFT — SIGNAL HARMONIC INFLECTION FLOW TRACKER
Precision reversal detection at the exact moment price shifts direction.
📐 CORE CONCEPT: THE INFLECTION POINT
Every sustained price move begins with a single moment — the instant price crosses from one phase to another. THE SHIFT captures this exact inflection point by combining two essential confirmations:
1. The Phase Cross
Price crossing the EMA ribbon midpoint represents a structural change in market bias. The ribbon midpoint is calculated as the average of EMA 21 and EMA 55, creating a dynamic equilibrium zone. When price decisively crosses this level, it signals a potential phase transition.
2. The Confirming Wick
Not every ribbon cross leads to continuation. THE SHIFT filters for quality by requiring the crossing candle to show directional commitment through its wick structure:
✓ Bullish SHIFT: Lower wick ≥ 25% of bar range (buyers absorbed selling pressure)
✓ Bearish SHIFT: Upper wick ≥ 25% of bar range (sellers absorbed buying pressure)
This dual confirmation eliminates weak crosses that occur during sideways chop.
⚙️ HOW IT WORKS
The EMA Ribbon
Five exponential moving averages (8, 13, 21, 34, 55) form an adaptive ribbon that expands during trends and contracts during consolidation. The ribbon serves multiple purposes:
✓ Visual trend identification through color gradient
✓ Dynamic support/resistance zones
✓ Phase boundary definition via ribbon midpoint
Phase Detection
The indicator tracks three distinct market phases:
✓ VELOCITY BULLISH — Price confirmed above ribbon midpoint
✓ VELOCITY BEARISH — Price confirmed below ribbon midpoint
✓ EQUILIBRIUM — Price oscillating around midpoint without confirmation
Phase confirmation requires price to remain on one side of the ribbon for a user-defined number of bars (default: 2), preventing false signals from single-bar noise.
Market Pressure Index (MPI)
MPI quantifies the balance between buying and selling pressure within each bar by analyzing where price closes relative to its range, weighted by volume. This provides momentum context for phase transitions:
✓ Positive MPI confirms bullish pressure
✓ Negative MPI confirms bearish pressure
✓ Strong readings (above threshold) indicate conviction
Consensus Grading System
Each SHIFT signal receives a quality grade (A+, A, B, C) based on five factors:
✓ Phase Strength — EMA alignment plus MPI strength
✓ Trend Alignment — All EMAs properly stacked
✓ Volume Confirmation — Above-average participation
✓ Momentum Convergence — MPI confirms direction
✓ Structure Respect — Price at value area
Higher grades indicate stronger confluence and potentially higher-probability setups.
📊 VISUAL SYSTEM
SHIFT Labels
✓ ▲ SHIFT — Bullish phase flip detected

📝 DEVELOPMENT NOTES
THE SHIFT emerged from extensive research into what makes reversal signals reliable versus unreliable. The key insight was that most failed reversals lack wick confirmation — the candle crosses a level but shows no evidence that the opposing force actually stepped in.
By requiring both the structural cross (price through ribbon midpoint) AND the wick confirmation (evidence of absorption), THE SHIFT filters out the low-quality signals that plague simpler crossover systems.
The intelligent Assistant panel was designed to function as a trading coach, helping traders understand not just WHEN to trade but WHY conditions are or aren't favorable. This educational component helps develop intuition over time.

5 Layer Script P5 ICT Identifier Package (Sessions + Narrative)This script is a session-based market narrative framework designed to help traders understand where price is likely seeking liquidity and alignment, rather than focusing on isolated entries.
This script mainly identifies and labels the Asia, London, and New York trading sessions, providing structure for how price behavior evolves throughout the day. It is intended to be used as a context and timing tool.
How it works
-Automatically maps Asia, London, and New York sessions
-Highlights session ranges and transitions
-Helps visualize accumulation, expansion, and distribution phases
-No repainting once a session is completed
How to use it
-Use Asia to observe range formation and liquidity build-up
-Use London for expansion, manipulation, or early continuation
-Use New York for confirmation, continuation, or reversal (IMPORTANT)
-Align session behavior with:
Higher-timeframe bias
Midpoint equilibrium levels
Fair Value Gaps
Signal or Potential Reversal confirmations
Best practices
-Avoid treating sessions as directional signals
-Focus on session objectives, not candle patterns
-Most effective on futures, indices, and liquid FX pairs
-Works best when combined with higher-timeframe structure
This package is intentionally narrative-driven and non-mechanical, allowing traders to frame intraday price action within a repeatable session logic rather than reactive decision-making.
ADDITIONAL: If youve made it this far i will tell you a cheat code to this specific script. Once you alligned your standard time for the sessions you will notice that if you set the sessions to close properly i recommend asking Chatgpt or any other AI tool, you will notice that the sessions end a few hours earlier for NY. You should see a label pop up for the NY just like the Asia and London session. That signal will tell you the next potential move only if you utilize the ICT killzones cheatsheet, easy to find on google images and I will attach it here if possible. its definetly mixed up but thats just market structure, only one you should pay attention to take a trade is the end of the NY session if adjusted properly. over 90% success rate following this strategy. I will add the link for the full cheat sheet below

ORB Breakout Strategy with VWAP and Volume FiltersOverview
This strategy implements the classic Opening Range Breakout (ORB) methodology, a well-documented approach in trading literature that has been used by institutional and retail traders for decades. The strategy identifies the high and low of the first 15 minutes of the trading session, then trades breakouts with defined risk management.
This implementation includes multiple customizable filters (VWAP, Volume, Candle Strength) that traders can enable, disable, and tune to find configurations that work for their specific markets and trading style.
How It Works
Opening Range Calculation
The strategy captures the high and low of the first N bars after the session open (default: 3 bars on a 5-minute chart = 15 minutes). These levels become the breakout triggers for the session.
Entry Logic
Long Entry: When a bar closes above the ORB High and all enabled filters pass
Short Entry: When a bar closes below the ORB Low and all enabled filters pass
Exit Logic
Take Profit: Configurable multiple of the ORB range (default: 1x = full range beyond breakout level)
Stop Loss: Opposite side of the ORB range
Breakeven: Optional stop adjustment to entry price when trade reaches configurable profit threshold
Session Close: All positions automatically closed at end of trading session
Configurable Filters
All filters can be independently enabled or disabled:
1. VWAP Filter
Requires price above/below session-anchored VWAP
Requires VWAP slope confirmation (configurable lookback and minimum slope)
Purpose: Align trades with intraday trend direction
2. Volume Filter
Requires minimum volume on the breakout bar
Purpose: Confirm institutional participation in the breakout
3. Candle Strength Filter
Requires close in upper/lower portion of the bar range
Purpose: Filter out weak breakouts with poor conviction

Liquidation Map [Alpha Extract]A sophisticated liquidity distribution visualization system that identifies potential liquidation zones through pivot-based detection and renders them as an interactive histogram with cumulative distance-to-liquidation curves. Utilizing multi-exchange volume aggregation and ATR-scaled pocket detection, this indicator delivers institutional-grade liquidity mapping with real-time histogram display showing relative concentration of long and short liquidation levels across configurable price ranges. The system's box-based rendering architecture combined with cumulative distribution overlays provides comprehensive visual assessment of asymmetric liquidity positioning for strategic trade planning.
🔶 Advanced Multi-Exchange Aggregation Framework
Implements intelligent ticker detection and multi-source volume aggregation across major exchanges including Binance, Bybit, KuCoin, OKX, and MEXC for accurate liquidity weight calculations. The system automatically identifies base currency (BTC, ETH, SOL) from chart ticker, retrieves volume data from matching perpetual contracts across multiple venues, and aggregates into composite volume metric for enhanced pocket weighting accuracy.
🔶 Pivot-Based Liquidation Pocket Detection
Features sophisticated swing point identification using configurable pivot width with ATR-scaled vertical zone construction for volatility-adaptive pocket sizing. The system detects pivot highs for short liquidation zones (placed above swing) and pivot lows for long liquidation zones (placed below swing), applying 200-period ATR with percentage multipliers to determine pocket heights that adjust to market volatility conditions.
🔶 Interactive Histogram Visualization Engine
Provides real-time box-based histogram rendering in indicator pane with configurable bin counts (up to 400 columns) and adjustable height, displaying liquidity concentration across fixed percentage range above and below current price. The system calculates bin sizes from view range, accumulates pocket weights into price bins, and renders vertical bars with gradient color intensity reflecting relative liquidity concentration at each price level.
🔶 Cumulative Distance Overlay System
Implements innovative cumulative distribution curves showing aggregate liquidity distance from current price for both long (left) and short (right) positions. The system calculates running totals of pocket weights from current price outward in both directions, normalizes against maximum span, and overlays line segments showing how much total liquidity exists at various distances, enabling instant assessment of liquidation cascade potential.
🔶 Dynamic Price Range Adaptation
Features fixed percentage-based view window that maintains consistent price range visualization across all timeframes and instruments, automatically centering histogram on current price with configurable +/- percentage bounds. The system recalculates histogram bins and pocket distributions on each bar close, ensuring visualization adapts to price movement while maintaining interpretable scale regardless of volatility regime.
🔶 Touch Detection and Weight Adjustment
Provides intelligent pocket state tracking that identifies when price trades through liquidation zones and applies configurable weight multipliers to touched pockets for historical context. The system monitors price interaction with pocket midpoints, marks pockets as "hit" when violated, and optionally increases their visual weight (default 5x) to emphasize historical liquidation levels while distinguishing from untouched future zones.
🔶 Gradient Intensity Color System
Implements sophisticated color gradient engine that modulates bar opacity from transparent to opaque based on relative liquidity concentration within each bin. The system normalizes bin values against maximum liquidity, applies color interpolation from faded to vivid hues, and distinguishes long liquidation zones (cyan) from short liquidation zones (yellow/gold) with current price column highlighted in red for instant orientation.
🔶 Performance-Optimized Rendering Architecture
Utilizes efficient box and line object management with dynamic allocation based on histogram configuration, implementing intelligent cleanup and reuse to maintain smooth performance. The system includes adaptive line budget calculations that adjust segment density for cumulative curves based on available object limits, ensuring consistent operation even with maximum histogram resolution settings.
🔶 Asymmetric Distribution Analysis
Calculates separate cumulative distributions for long and short liquidation zones split at current price, enabling identification of imbalanced liquidity positioning. The system normalizes distributions against respective maximums and overlays both curves on single histogram, allowing traders to instantly assess whether more liquidation risk exists above (shorts vulnerable) or below (longs vulnerable) current price levels.
🔶 Configurable Label and Scale System
Provides price axis labeling with adjustable frequency to reduce clutter while maintaining reference points, displaying price values at regular column intervals with configurable offset positioning. The system includes current price label showing exact value and percentile position within view range, offering both absolute price reference and relative positioning context for distribution interpretation.
🔶 Historical Pocket Persistence Framework
Maintains rolling window of liquidation pockets up to 3000 bars with automatic expiration management and optional preservation of touched zones for historical analysis. The system tracks pocket creation time, monitors age against lookback limits, and manages array cleanup to prevent memory overflow while retaining relevant historical liquidation levels for pattern recognition and support/resistance validation.
This indicator delivers sophisticated liquidity distribution analysis through histogram visualization and cumulative distance curves that reveal asymmetric positioning of potential liquidation levels. Unlike simple liquidation heatmaps that show absolute levels, the Liquidation Map's cumulative distribution overlays instantly communicate how much total liquidity exists at various distances from current price, enabling assessment of cascade potential. The system's multi-exchange volume aggregation, touch-weighted historical zones, and fixed-range visualization make it essential for traders seeking strategic positioning around institutional liquidity clusters in cryptocurrency futures markets. The histogram format enables instant identification of price levels where concentrated liquidations may trigger significant volatility or reversal events, while the asymmetric distribution curves reveal whether market structure favors upside or downside cascades.
Nexus Momentum Flow [JOAT]
Nexus Momentum Flow - ADX-Based Trend Strength Analysis
Introduction and Purpose
Nexus Momentum Flow is an open-source oscillator indicator that combines the ADX (Average Directional Index) with directional movement indicators (+DI/-DI) to create a comprehensive trend strength and direction analysis tool. The core problem this indicator solves is that ADX alone tells you trend strength but not direction, while +DI/-DI alone tells you direction but not strength. Traders need both pieces of information together.
This indicator addresses that by combining ADX strength classification with directional bias into a single confluence score, making it easy to identify when strong trends exist and which direction they favor.
Why These Components Work Together
1. ADX (Average Directional Index) - Measures trend strength regardless of direction. Values above 25 indicate trending; below 20 indicate ranging.
2. +DI (Positive Directional Indicator) - Measures upward price movement strength.
3. -DI (Negative Directional Indicator) - Measures downward price movement strength.
4. Confluence Score - Combines ADX strength with DI bias to create a single actionable metric.
The combination works because:
ADX filters out ranging markets where DI crossovers produce whipsaws
DI relationship provides direction when ADX confirms trend
Confluence score simplifies the analysis into one number
How the Calculation Works
float directionBias = diPlus - diMinus
float confluenceScore = (adx / 100) * directionBias
The confluence score is positive when +DI > -DI (bullish) and negative when -DI > +DI (bearish), with magnitude scaled by ADX strength.
Trend State Classification
EXTREME - ADX > 50 (very strong trend)
STRONG - ADX 35-50 (strong trend)
TRENDING - ADX 25-35 (moderate trend)
RANGING - ADX < 25 (no clear trend)
Dashboard Information
Status - Current trend state (EXTREME/STRONG/TRENDING/RANGING)
Direction - BULLISH or BEARISH based on DI relationship
ADX - Current ADX value
DI Bias - Difference between +DI and -DI
Confluence - Combined score with directional context
How to Use This Indicator
For Trend Following:
1. Wait for ADX to show TRENDING or higher
2. Check direction matches your trade bias
3. Enter on pullbacks when confluence remains positive/negative
4. Exit when ADX drops to RANGING
For Avoiding Whipsaws:
1. Do not trade DI crossovers when ADX shows RANGING
2. Only trust directional signals when ADX confirms trend
3. Use RANGING periods for mean-reversion strategies instead
For Trend Exhaustion:
1. Watch for EXTREME ADX readings
2. Extreme trends often precede reversals
3. Consider taking profits when ADX reaches extreme levels
Input Parameters
ADX Length (14) - Period for ADX calculation
DI Length (14) - Period for directional indicators
ADX Smoothing (14) - Smoothing period for ADX
Trend Threshold (25) - ADX level for trend confirmation
Strong Threshold (35) - ADX level for strong trend
Extreme Threshold (50) - ADX level for extreme trend
Timeframe Recommendations
Daily/4H: Best for swing trading trend analysis
1H: Good for intraday trend following
15m: More signals but requires faster reaction
Limitations
ADX is a lagging indicator - trends are confirmed after they start
DI crossovers can whipsaw even with ADX filter
Works best in markets that trend clearly
May miss early trend entries due to confirmation requirement

Fractal Wave Hunter [JOAT]
Fractal Wave Hunter - Multi-Method Fractal Detection System
Introduction and Purpose
Fractal Wave Hunter is an open-source overlay indicator that identifies key reversal patterns using multiple fractal detection methods. The core problem this indicator solves is that different fractal methods catch different types of reversals. Williams' classic 5-bar fractal is reliable but slow; Hougaard's 4-bar method is faster but noisier. Using only one method means missing valid signals that the other would catch.
This indicator addresses that by combining both methods plus HOLP/LOHP detection, giving traders a comprehensive view of potential reversal points.
Why These Methods Work Together
Each fractal method has different characteristics:
1. 4-Bar Fractal (Hougaard Method) - Faster detection, identifies momentum shifts when close exceeds recent highs/lows. Best for catching early reversals.
2. Classic 5-Bar Fractal (Williams) - Traditional pivot detection requiring the middle bar to be the highest/lowest of 5 bars. Best for identifying significant swing points.
3. HOLP/LOHP - High of Low Period and Low of High Period signals identify when price makes a new extreme within a defined lookback. Best for trend exhaustion detection.
By combining these methods, traders can:
Use 4-bar fractals for early entry signals
Use 5-bar fractals for confirmation and stop placement
Use HOLP/LOHP for trend exhaustion warnings
How the Detection Works
4-Bar Fractal (Hougaard):
bool fractal4BuyBase = close > high and close > high
bool fractal4SellBase = close < low and close < low
Classic 5-Bar Fractal:
bool fractalHigh = high > high and high > high and high > high and high > high
bool fractalLow = low < low and low < low and low < low and low < low
Signal Types
4B (4-Bar Buy) - Close exceeds high and high - early bullish signal
4S (4-Bar Sell) - Close below low and low - early bearish signal
FH (Fractal High) - Classic 5-bar swing high - confirmed resistance
FL (Fractal Low) - Classic 5-bar swing low - confirmed support
HOLP - High of low period - potential bullish exhaustion
LOHP - Low of high period - potential bearish exhaustion
Dashboard Information
4-Bar Fractal - Count of bullish/bearish 4-bar fractals
Classic Fractal - Count of 5-bar fractal highs/lows
HOLP/LOHP - Reversal signal counts
Total Signals - Combined pattern count
How to Use This Indicator
For Counter-Trend Entries:
1. Wait for 4-bar fractal signal at key support/resistance
2. Confirm with 5-bar fractal forming nearby
3. Enter with stop beyond the fractal point
For Stop Placement:
1. Use 5-bar fractal highs/lows as stop-loss references
2. These represent confirmed swing points that should hold if trend continues
For Trend Analysis:
1. Track swing structure using fractal highs and lows
2. Higher fractal lows = uptrend structure
3. Lower fractal highs = downtrend structure

Stop Loss Hunting Zones This Pine Script indicator identifies and visualizes potential "stop loss hunting zones" on charts. It marks price levels where institutional traders or market makers might trigger retail stop losses before reversing direction, helping traders avoid false breakouts and better time their entries.
Key Features:
Four Types of Detection Zones-
1.Swing Zones (Red/Green): Identifies swing highs and lows using pivot point analysis where stop losses typically cluster above resistance and below support levels.
2.Breakout Zones (Orange): Detects consolidation periods and marks levels where false breakouts might occur, trapping traders who enter too early.
3.Wick Trap Zones (Purple): Highlights candles with disproportionately large wicks relative to body size, indicating potential stop loss raids with quick reversals.
4.Volume Reversal Zones (Blue): Identifies high-volume reversal patterns where price briefly touches a level before sharply reversing, suggesting stop loss absorption.
Customizable Parameters:
Swing Lookback: Period for pivot point detection (5-100 bars)
Swing Threshold: Minimum percentage move to qualify as a swing (0.5-10%)
Volume Threshold: Multiplier for detecting unusual volume (1-5x average)
Wick Ratio: Minimum wick-to-total range ratio for trap detection (0.3-0.9)
ATR Settings: Length and multiplier for zone buffer calculation
Zone Management: Maximum zones per type and minimum distance between zones
Display Options: Toggle individual zone types, heatmap intensity, labels, and transparency
Visual Features:
Heatmap Mode: Colour intensity reflects how often price has tested each zone
Smart Zone Management: Prevents chart cluttering by limiting zones and removing those too close together
Dynamic Labels: Clear zone identification with customizable display
Adjustable Transparency: Control zone visibility (10-90%)
How It Works:
The indicator uses ATR-based buffers to create zones around detected levels. It tracks price history to calculate "intensity" scores for the heatmap feature, helping identify the most significant hunting zones. The algorithm ensures zones are meaningful by enforcing minimum distances and limiting total zones displayed.
Avoid placing stop losses at obvious levels where hunting is likely
Identify potential reversal points for counter-trend trades
Recognize false breakout patterns before they complete
Time entries after stop loss hunts are absorbed
Technical Details:
Maximum 500 boxes, lines, and labels for comprehensive zone tracking
Compatible with all timeframes

Eclipse Multi-Oscillator [JOAT]Eclipse Multi-Oscillator - Unified Momentum Confluence System
Introduction and Purpose
Eclipse Multi-Oscillator is an open-source indicator that combines four classic oscillators (RSI, Stochastic, CCI, and Williams %R) into a single unified view with confluence detection. The core problem this indicator solves is oscillator disagreement: traders often see RSI oversold while Stochastic is neutral, or CCI overbought while Williams %R is mid-range. This creates confusion about the true momentum state.
This indicator addresses that by displaying all four oscillators together and counting how many agree on overbought or oversold conditions, providing a clear confluence score that cuts through the noise.
Why These Four Oscillators Work Together
Each oscillator measures momentum differently, and their combination provides a more complete picture:
1. RSI (Relative Strength Index) - Measures the magnitude of recent price changes. Best at identifying momentum exhaustion.
2. Stochastic - Compares closing price to the high-low range. Best at identifying where price is within its recent range.
3. CCI (Commodity Channel Index) - Measures price deviation from statistical mean. Best at identifying unusual price movements.
4. Williams %R - Similar to Stochastic but inverted. Provides confirmation of Stochastic readings.
When 3 or more of these oscillators agree on overbought or oversold, the signal is significantly more reliable than any single oscillator alone.
How Confluence Scoring Works
The indicator counts how many oscillators are in extreme territory:
int obCount = 0
if rsi > rsiOB
obCount += 1
if stochK > stochOB
obCount += 1
if cci > cciOB
obCount += 1
if willRScaled > stochOB
obCount += 1
bool strongOverbought = obCount >= 3
bool strongOversold = osCount >= 3
The confluence score ranges from -4 (all oversold) to +4 (all overbought), with 0 being neutral.
Signal Types
Strong Oversold - 3+ oscillators below oversold threshold (potential bounce)
Strong Overbought - 3+ oscillators above overbought threshold (potential pullback)
OB/OS Exit - RSI leaving extreme zone with Stochastic confirmation (potential reversal)
Divergence - Price makes new high/low while RSI does not (potential reversal warning)
Dashboard Information
RSI/Stoch K/CCI/Will %R - Current values with zone status (OB/OS/MID)
Confluence - Overall bias (STRONG OS, STRONG OB, Lean Bull/Bear, Neutral)
OB Count - How many oscillators are overbought (0-4)
OS Count - How many oscillators are oversold (0-4)
How to Use This Indicator
For Reversal Trading:
1. Wait for Strong Oversold (3+ oscillators agree)
2. Look for bullish candlestick pattern or support level
3. Enter long with stop below recent low
4. Take profit when confluence returns to neutral or overbought
For Trend Confirmation:
1. Check confluence direction matches your trade bias
2. Avoid longs when confluence is strongly overbought
3. Avoid shorts when confluence is strongly oversold
For Divergence Trading:
1. Watch for "D" labels indicating RSI divergence
2. Bullish divergence at support = potential long
3. Bearish divergence at resistance = potential short
Input Parameters
RSI Length (14) - Period for RSI calculation
Stochastic K/D Length (14/3) - Periods for Stochastic
CCI Length (20) - Period for CCI
Williams %R Length (14) - Period for Williams %R
OB/OS Thresholds - Customizable levels for each oscillator
Timeframe Recommendations
15m-1H: Good for intraday momentum analysis
4H-Daily: Best for swing trading confluence
Very short timeframes may produce noisy signals
Limitations
All oscillators can remain in extreme territory during strong trends
Confluence does not predict direction, only identifies extremes
Divergence detection is simplified and may miss some patterns
Works best in ranging or moderately trending markets

Momentum Clarity Engine📘 Description - Momentum Clarity Engine
Momentum Clarity Engine (MC-Engine) is a visual momentum-context indicator designed to help traders clearly identify trend direction, momentum strength, and low-quality market conditions using a disciplined combination of MACD and RSI.
Rather than generating buy or sell signals, MC-Engine focuses on clarity and risk control by visually classifying price action into intuitive momentum states and highlighting periods where trading conditions are unfavorable.
🔍 How it works
The indicator combines:
MACD Histogram → momentum direction and strength
RSI → bullish vs bearish pressure balance
Based on this confluence, price candles are colored to reflect market state:
Strong Bullish Momentum → Dark Green (solid)
Weak Bullish Momentum → Light Green (transparent)
Strong Bearish Momentum → Dark Red (solid)
Weak Bearish Momentum → Light Red (transparent)
No-Trade Zone → Muted Orange (high transparency)
Candle opacity dynamically adapts to MACD histogram strength, allowing traders to visually sense when momentum is expanding, weakening, or lacking conviction.
🟠 No-Trade Zone (Key Feature)
The No-Trade zone highlights periods of:
Low momentum
RSI balance / indecision
Choppy or transitional price action
These conditions often result in poor risk-reward.
The muted orange color is intentionally designed to encourage patience and discipline.
✅ How to use MC-Engine
MC-Engine is best used as a trade filter and context tool, not as a standalone strategy.
Common use cases:
Confirming trend strength before entries
Avoiding trades during low-momentum chop
Filtering breakouts and pullbacks
Intraday trading on 1-minute to 15-minute charts
Futures, indices, equities, and crypto markets
Recommended to pair with:
Market structure
Trendlines
VWAP
Support & resistance
Higher-timeframe context
⚠️ Important Notes
This indicator does not provide buy or sell signals
No repainting or future-looking logic
Designed for educational and analytical purposes only
Always apply proper risk management
🧠 Philosophy
The goal is not to trade more —
the goal is to trade when conditions are clear.
Momentum Clarity Engine helps traders participate during strong momentum and stand aside during uncertainty.
Trend Speed Analyzer with Entries (Zeiierman)📈 Trend Speed Analyzer with Entry Signals (Zeiierman – Modified)
🔹 Overview
This indicator is a trend-following momentum system built around an adaptive (dynamic) moving average and a proprietary trend speed / wave strength engine.
It is designed to identify high-quality continuation entries after price confirms direction, not to predict tops or bottoms.
Best suited for:
Index futures (ES, NQ)
ETFs (SPY, QQQ)
Strongly trending stocks
Intraday or swing trading
🔹 Core Concepts
1️⃣ Dynamic Trend Line (Adaptive EMA)
Instead of using a fixed EMA length, this script dynamically adjusts:
EMA length based on normalized price movement
EMA responsiveness using an accelerator factor
Result:
Fast reaction during strong trends
Smooth behavior during choppy markets
Fewer false flips compared to traditional EMAs
This trend line acts as the primary regime filter.
2️⃣ Trend Speed & Wave Analysis
The indicator tracks trend speed, which represents cumulative directional pressure over time.
It also records:
Bullish wave sizes
Bearish wave sizes
Average vs maximum wave strength
Bull/Bear dominance
These statistics are displayed in an optional table to help assess:
Market bias
Momentum asymmetry
Whether the current move is weak, average, or exceptional
🔹 Entry Signal Logic (One Signal per Trend Shift)
Signals are not spammy.
Only one entry signal is allowed per crossover.
Long Entry Conditions
A long signal is generated when:
Price crosses above the dynamic trend line
A bullish candle forms
The candle body is at least X% of ATR (filters weak/doji candles)
The entire candle body is above the trend line
(Optional) Trend speed is positive
Short Entry Conditions
A short signal is generated when:
Price crosses below the dynamic trend line
A bearish candle forms
The candle body is at least X% of ATR
The entire candle body is below the trend line
(Optional) Trend speed is negative
📌 Once a signal fires, no additional signals will appear until a new crossover occurs.
🔹 What this indicator is NOT
❌ Not a mean-reversion system
❌ Not a prediction tool
❌ Not meant for sideways markets
This tool assumes structure → confirmation → continuation.
🔹 How to Trade It (Suggested Use)

Aurora Volatility Bands [JOAT]Aurora Volatility Bands - Dynamic ATR-Based Envelope System
Introduction and Purpose
Aurora Volatility Bands is an open-source overlay indicator that creates multi-layered volatility envelopes around price using ATR (Average True Range) calculations. The core problem this indicator solves is that static bands (like fixed percentage envelopes) fail to adapt to changing market conditions. During high volatility, static bands are too tight; during low volatility, they're too wide.
This indicator addresses that by using ATR-based dynamic bands that automatically expand during volatile periods and contract during quiet periods, providing contextually appropriate support/resistance levels at all times.
Why These Components Work Together
The indicator combines three analytical approaches:
1. Triple-Layer Band System - Inner (1x ATR), Outer (2x ATR), and Extreme (3x ATR) bands provide graduated levels of significance
2. Volatility State Detection - Compares current ATR to historical average to classify market regime
3. Multiple MA Types - Allows customization of the center line calculation method
These components complement each other:
The triple-layer system gives traders multiple reference points - inner bands for normal moves, outer for significant moves, extreme for rare events
Volatility state detection tells you WHEN bands are expanding or contracting, helping anticipate breakouts or mean-reversion
MA type selection lets you match the indicator to your trading style (faster EMA vs smoother SMA)
How the Calculation Works
The bands are calculated using ATR multiplied by configurable factors:
float atr = ta.atr(atrPeriod)
float innerUpper = centerMA + (atr * innerMult)
float outerUpper = centerMA + (atr * outerMult)
float extremeUpper = centerMA + (atr * extremeMult)
Volatility state is determined by comparing current ATR percentage to its historical average:
float atrPercent = (atr / close) * 100
float avgAtrPercent = ta.sma(atrPercent, volatilityLookback)
float volatilityRatio = atrPercent / avgAtrPercent
bool isExpanding = volatilityRatio > 1.2 // 20%+ above average
bool isContracting = volatilityRatio < 0.8 // 20%+ below average
Signal Types
Band Touch - Price reaches inner, outer, or extreme bands
Mean Reversion - Price returns to center after touching outer/extreme bands
Breakout - Sustained move beyond outer bands during volatility expansion
Dashboard Information
Volatility - Current state (EXPANDING/CONTRACTING/NORMAL)
Vol Ratio - Current volatility vs average (e.g., 1.5x = 50% above average)
ATR - Current ATR value
ATR % - ATR as percentage of price
Zone - Current price position (EXTREME HIGH/UPPER ZONE/CENTER ZONE/etc.)
Position - Price position as percentage within band structure
Width - Total band width as percentage of price
Using SMA in settings:
How to Use This Indicator
For Mean-Reversion Trading:
1. Wait for price to touch outer or extreme bands
2. Check that volatility state is NORMAL or CONTRACTING (not expanding)
3. Look for reversal candlestick patterns at the band
4. Enter toward center MA with stop beyond the band
For Breakout Trading:
1. Wait for volatility state to show EXPANDING
2. Look for price closing beyond outer bands
3. Enter in direction of breakout
4. Use the band as trailing stop reference
For Volatility Analysis:
1. Monitor volatility ratio for regime changes
2. CONTRACTING often precedes large moves (squeeze)
3. EXPANDING confirms trend strength
Using VWMA and Mean Reversion Signal/MR:
Input Parameters
ATR Period (14) - Period for ATR calculation
Inner/Outer/Extreme Multipliers (1.0/2.0/3.0) - Band distance from center
MA Type (EMA) - Center line calculation method
MA Period (20) - Period for center line
Volatility Comparison Period (20) - Lookback for volatility state
Timeframe Recommendations
15m-1H: Good for intraday mean-reversion
4H-Daily: Best for swing trading and breakout identification
Weekly: Useful for position trading and major level identification
Limitations
ATR-based bands lag during sudden volatility spikes
Mean-reversion signals can fail in strong trends
Breakout signals may whipsaw in ranging markets
Works best on liquid instruments with consistent volatility patterns
Open-Source and Disclaimer
This script is published as open-source under the Mozilla Public License 2.0 for educational purposes. The source code is fully visible and can be studied to understand how each component works.
This indicator does not constitute financial advice. Band touches do not guarantee reversals. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Always use proper risk management, position sizing, and stop-losses.

Quantum Reversal Detector [JOAT]
Quantum Reversal Detector - Multi-Factor Reversal Probability Analysis
Introduction and Purpose
Quantum Reversal Detector is an open-source overlay indicator that combines multiple reversal detection methods into a unified probability-based framework. The core problem this indicator addresses is the unreliability of single-factor reversal signals. A price touching support means nothing without momentum confirmation; an RSI oversold reading means nothing without price structure context.
This indicator solves that by requiring multiple independent factors to align before generating reversal signals, then expressing the result as a probability score rather than a binary signal.
Why These Components Work Together
The indicator combines five analytical approaches, each addressing a different aspect of reversal detection:
1. RSI Extremes - Identifies momentum exhaustion (overbought/oversold)
2. MACD Crossovers - Confirms momentum direction change
3. Support/Resistance Proximity - Ensures price is at a significant level
4. Multi-Depth Momentum - Analyzes momentum across multiple timeframes
5. Statistical Probability - Quantifies reversal likelihood using Bayesian updating
These components are not randomly combined. Each filter catches reversals that others miss:
RSI catches momentum exhaustion but misses structural reversals
MACD catches momentum shifts but lags price action
S/R proximity catches structural levels but ignores momentum
Multi-depth momentum catches divergences across timeframes
Probability scoring combines all factors into actionable confidence levels
How the Detection System Works
Step 1: Pattern Detection
The indicator first identifies potential reversal conditions:
// Check if price is at support/resistance
float lowestLow = ta.lowest(low, period)
float highestHigh = ta.highest(high, period)
bool atSupport = low <= lowestLow * 1.002
bool atResistance = high >= highestHigh * 0.998
// Check RSI conditions
float rsi = ta.rsi(close, 14)
bool oversold = rsi < 30
bool overbought = rsi > 70
// Check MACD crossover
float macd = ta.ema(close, 12) - ta.ema(close, 26)
float signal = ta.ema(macd, 9)
bool macdBullish = ta.crossover(macd, signal)
bool macdBearish = ta.crossunder(macd, signal)
// Combine for reversal detection
if atSupport and oversold and macdBullish
bullishReversal := true
Step 2: Multi-Depth Momentum Analysis
The indicator calculates momentum across multiple periods to detect divergences:
calculateQuantumMomentum(series float price, simple int period, simple int depth) =>
float totalMomentum = 0.0
for i = 0 to depth - 1
int currentPeriod = period * (i + 1)
float momentum = ta.roc(price, currentPeriod)
totalMomentum += momentum
totalMomentum / depth
This creates a composite momentum reading that smooths out noise while preserving genuine momentum shifts.
Step 3: Bayesian Probability Calculation
The indicator uses Bayesian updating to calculate reversal probability:
bayesianProbability(series float priorProb, series float likelihood, series float evidence) =>
float posterior = evidence > 0 ? (likelihood * priorProb) / evidence : priorProb
math.min(math.max(posterior, 0.0), 1.0)
The prior probability starts at 50% and updates based on:
RSI extreme readings increase likelihood
MACD crossovers increase likelihood
S/R proximity increases likelihood
Momentum divergence increases likelihood
Step 4: Confidence Intervals
Using Monte Carlo simulation concepts, the indicator estimates price distribution:
monteCarloSimulation(series float price, series float volatility, simple int iterations) =>
float sumPrice = 0.0
float sumSqDiff = 0.0
for i = 0 to iterations - 1
float randomFactor = (i % 10 - 5) / 10.0
float simulatedPrice = price + volatility * randomFactor
sumPrice += simulatedPrice
float avgPrice = sumPrice / iterations
// Calculate standard deviation for confidence intervals
This provides 95% and 99% confidence bands around the current price.
Signal Classification
Signals are classified by confirmation level:
Confirmed Reversal : Pattern detected for N consecutive bars (default 3)
High Probability : Confirmed + Bayesian probability > 70%
Ultra High Probability : High probability + PDF above average
Dashboard Information
The dashboard displays:
Bayesian Probability - Updated reversal probability (0-100%)
Quantum Momentum - Multi-depth momentum average
RSI - Current RSI value with overbought/oversold status
Volatility - Current ATR as percentage of price
Reversal Signal - BULLISH, BEARISH, or NONE
Divergence - Momentum divergence detection
MACD - Current MACD histogram value
S/R Zone - AT SUPPORT, AT RESISTANCE, or NEUTRAL
95% Confidence - Price range with 95% probability
Bull/Bear Targets - ATR-based reversal targets
Visual Elements
Quantum Bands - ATR-based upper and lower channels
Probability Field - Circle layers showing probability distribution
Confidence Bands - 95% and 99% confidence interval circles
Reversal Labels - REV markers at confirmed reversals
High Probability Markers - Star diamonds at high probability setups
Reversal Zones - Boxes around confirmed reversal areas
Divergence Markers - Triangles at momentum divergences
How to Use This Indicator
For Reversal Trading:
1. Wait for Bayesian Probability to exceed 70%
2. Confirm price is at S/R zone (dashboard shows AT SUPPORT or AT RESISTANCE)
3. Check that RSI is in extreme territory (oversold for longs, overbought for shorts)
4. Enter when REV label appears with high probability marker
For Risk Management:
1. Use the 95% confidence band as a stop-loss reference
2. Use Bull/Bear Targets for take-profit levels
3. Higher probability readings warrant larger position sizes
For Filtering False Signals:
1. Increase Confirmation Bars to require more consecutive signals
2. Only trade when probability exceeds 70%
3. Require divergence confirmation for highest conviction
Input Parameters
Reversal Period (21) - Lookback for S/R and momentum calculations
Quantum Depth (5) - Number of momentum layers for multi-depth analysis
Confirmation Bars (3) - Consecutive bars required for confirmation
Detection Sensitivity (1.2) - Band width and target multiplier
Bayesian Probability (true) - Enable probability calculation
Monte Carlo Simulation (true) - Enable confidence interval calculation
Normal Distribution (true) - Enable PDF calculation
Confidence Intervals (true) - Enable confidence bands
Timeframe Recommendations
1H-4H: Best for swing trading reversals
Daily: Fewer but more significant reversal signals
15m-30m: More signals, requires higher probability threshold
Limitations
Statistical concepts are simplified implementations for Pine Script
Monte Carlo uses deterministic pseudo-random factors, not true randomness
Bayesian probability uses simplified prior/likelihood model
Reversal detection does not guarantee actual reversals will occur
Confirmation bars add lag to signal generation
Open-Source and Disclaimer
This script is published as open-source under the Mozilla Public License 2.0 for educational purposes. The source code is fully visible and can be studied to understand how each component works.
This indicator does not constitute financial advice. Reversal detection is probabilistic, not predictive. The probability scores represent statistical likelihood based on historical patterns, not guaranteed outcomes. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Always use proper risk management, position sizing, and stop-losses.

Photon Price Action Scanner [JOAT]Photon Price Action Scanner - Multi-Pattern Recognition with Adaptive Filtering
Introduction and Purpose
Photon Price Action Scanner is an open-source overlay indicator that automates the detection of 15+ candlestick patterns while filtering them through multiple confirmation layers. The core problem this indicator solves is pattern noise: raw candlestick pattern detection produces too many signals, most of which fail because they lack context. This indicator addresses that by combining pattern recognition with trend alignment, volume-weighted strength scoring, velocity confirmation, and an adaptive neural bias filter.
The combination of these components is not arbitrary. Each filter addresses a specific weakness in standalone pattern detection:
Trend alignment ensures patterns appear in favorable market structure
Volume-weighted strength filters out weak patterns with low conviction
Velocity confirmation identifies momentum behind the pattern
Neural bias filter adapts to recent price behavior to avoid counter-trend signals
What Makes This Indicator Original
While candlestick pattern scanners exist, this indicator's originality comes from:
1. Multi-Layer Filtering System - Patterns must pass through trend, strength, velocity, and neural bias filters before generating signals. This dramatically reduces false positives compared to simple pattern detection.
2. Adaptive Neural Bias Filter - A custom momentum-adjusted EMA that learns from recent price action using a configurable learning rate. This is not a standard moving average but an adaptive filter that accelerates during trends and smooths during consolidation.
3. Pattern Strength Scoring - Each pattern receives a strength score based on volume ratio and body size, allowing traders to focus on high-conviction setups rather than every pattern occurrence.
4. Smart Cooldown System - Prevents signal overlap by enforcing minimum bar spacing between pattern labels, keeping charts clean even when "Show All Patterns" is enabled.
How the Components Work Together
Step 1: Pattern Detection
The indicator scans for 15 candlestick patterns using precise mathematical definitions:
// Example: Bullish Engulfing requires the current bullish candle to completely
// engulf the previous bearish candle with a larger body
isBullishEngulfing() =>
bool pattern = close < open and close > open and
open <= close and close >= open and
close - open > open - close
pattern
// Example: Three White Soldiers requires three consecutive bullish candles
// with each opening within the previous body and closing higher
isThreeWhiteSoldiers() =>
bool pattern = close > open and close > open and close > open and
close < close and close < close and
open > open and open < close and
open > open and open < close
pattern
Step 2: Strength Calculation
Each detected pattern receives a strength score combining volume and body size:
float volRatio = avgVolume > 0 ? volume / avgVolume : 1.0
float bodySize = math.abs(close - open) / close
float baseStrength = (volRatio + bodySize * 100) / 2
This ensures patterns with above-average volume and large bodies score higher than weak patterns on low volume.
Step 3: Trend Alignment
Patterns are checked against the trend direction using an EMA:
float trendEMA = ta.ema(close, i_trendPeriod)
int trendDir = close > trendEMA ? 1 : close < trendEMA ? -1 : 0
Bullish patterns in uptrends and bearish patterns in downtrends receive priority.
Step 4: Neural Bias Filter
The adaptive filter uses a momentum-adjusted EMA that responds to price changes:
neuralEMA(series float src, simple int period, simple float lr) =>
var float neuralValue = na
var float momentum = 0.0
if na(neuralValue)
neuralValue := src
float error = src - neuralValue
float adjustment = error * lr
momentum := momentum * 0.9 + adjustment * 0.1
neuralValue := neuralValue + adjustment + momentum
neuralValue
The learning rate (lr) controls how quickly the filter adapts. Higher values make it more responsive; lower values make it smoother.
Step 5: Velocity Confirmation
Price velocity (rate of change) must exceed the average velocity for strong signals:
float velocity = ta.roc(close, i_trendPeriod)
float avgVelocity = ta.sma(velocity, i_trendPeriod)
bool velocityBull = velocity > avgVelocity * 1.5
Step 6: Signal Classification
Signals are classified based on how many filters they pass:
Strong Pattern : Pattern + strength threshold + trend alignment + neural bias + velocity
Ultra Pattern : Strong pattern + gap in same direction + velocity confirmation
Watch Pattern : Pattern detected but not all filters passed
Detected Patterns
Classic Reversal Patterns:
Bullish/Bearish Engulfing - Complete body engulfment with larger body
Hammer - Long lower wick (2x body), small upper wick, bullish context
Shooting Star - Long upper wick (2x body), small lower wick, bearish context
Morning Star - Three-bar bullish reversal with small middle body
Evening Star - Three-bar bearish reversal with small middle body
Piercing Line - Bullish candle closing above midpoint of previous bearish candle
Dark Cloud Cover - Bearish candle closing below midpoint of previous bullish candle
Bullish/Bearish Harami - Small body contained within previous larger body
Doji - Body less than 10% of total range (indecision)
Advanced Patterns (Optional):
Three White Soldiers - Three consecutive bullish candles with rising closes
Three Black Crows - Three consecutive bearish candles with falling closes
Tweezer Top - Equal highs with reversal candle structure
Tweezer Bottom - Equal lows with reversal candle structure
Island Reversal - Gap isolation creating reversal structure
Dashboard Information
The dashboard displays real-time analysis:
Pattern - Current detected pattern name or "SCANNING..."
Bull/Bear Strength - Volume-weighted strength scores
Trend - UPTREND, DOWNTREND, or SIDEWAYS based on EMA
RSI - 14-period RSI for momentum context
Momentum - 10-period momentum reading
Volatility - ATR as percentage of price
Neural Bias - BULLISH, BEARISH, or NEUTRAL from adaptive filter
Action - ULTRA BUY/SELL, BUY/SELL, WATCH BUY/SELL, or WAIT
Visual Elements
Pattern Labels - Abbreviated codes (BE=Engulfing, H=Hammer, MS=Morning Star, etc.)
Neural Bias Line - Adaptive trend line showing filter direction
Gap Boxes - Cyan boxes highlighting price gaps
Action Zones - Dashed boxes around strong pattern areas
Velocity Markers - Small circles when velocity confirms direction
Ultra Signals - Large labels for highest conviction setups
How to Use This Indicator
For Reversal Trading:
1. Wait for a pattern to appear at a key support/resistance level
2. Check that the Action shows "BUY" or "SELL" (not just "WATCH")
3. Confirm the Neural Bias aligns with your trade direction
4. Use the strength score to gauge conviction (higher is better)
For Trend Continuation:
1. Identify the trend using the Trend row in the dashboard
2. Look for patterns that align with the trend (bullish patterns in uptrends)
3. Ultra signals indicate the strongest continuation setups
For Filtering Noise:
1. Keep "Show All Patterns" disabled to see only filtered signals
2. Increase "Pattern Strength Filter" to see fewer, higher-quality patterns
3. Enable "Velocity Confirmation" to require momentum behind patterns
Input Parameters
Scan Sensitivity (1.0) - Overall detection sensitivity multiplier
Pattern Strength Filter (3) - Minimum strength score for strong signals
Trend Period (20) - EMA period for trend determination
Show All Patterns (false) - Display all patterns regardless of filters
Advanced Patterns (true) - Enable soldiers/crows/tweezer detection
Gap Analysis (true) - Enable gap detection and boxes
Velocity Confirmation (true) - Require velocity for strong signals
Neural Bias Filter (true) - Enable adaptive trend filter
Neural Period (50) - Lookback for neural bias calculation
Neural Learning Rate (0.12) - Adaptation speed (0.01-0.5)
Timeframe Recommendations
1H-4H: Best balance of signal frequency and reliability
Daily: Fewer but more significant patterns
15m-30m: More signals, requires tighter filtering (increase strength threshold)
Limitations
Pattern detection is mechanical and does not consider fundamental context
Neural bias filter may lag during rapid trend reversals
Gap detection requires clean price data without after-hours gaps
Strength scoring favors high-volume patterns, which may miss valid low-volume setups

Black-Scholes Gamma Scalping Strategy# Black-Scholes Gamma Scalping Strategy
## Overview
This strategy applies options market-making principles to spot/futures trading using the Black-Scholes pricing model. It simulates the behavior of a delta-hedged straddle position, generating buy and sell signals based on how a market maker would hedge their gamma exposure.
---
## The Concept: Gamma Scalping
Professional options traders who hold long straddles (long call + long put at the same strike) profit when the underlying moves significantly in either direction. Here's why:
- A straddle has **positive gamma**, meaning its delta increases as price rises and decreases as price falls
- To stay delta-neutral, traders must **buy after dips** and **sell after rallies**
- If **realized volatility > implied volatility**, the profits from these hedging trades exceed the daily theta (time decay) cost
This strategy captures that edge by:
1. Calculating theoretical Greeks using Black-Scholes
2. Monitoring when delta deviates from neutral
3. Trading to "hedge" back to neutral — buying weakness, selling strength
---
## Black-Scholes Greeks Calculated
| Greek | Symbol | What It Measures |
|-------|--------|------------------|
| Delta | Δ | Directional exposure |
| Gamma | Γ | Rate of delta change |
| Vega | ν | Sensitivity to volatility |
| Theta | Θ | Time decay per day |
All Greeks are calculated in real-time using the standard Black-Scholes formula with configurable inputs for strike, expiration, implied volatility, and risk-free rate.
---
## Entry Signals
**Long Entry** (buy the underlying):
- Price drops significantly (gamma scalp trigger), OR
- Straddle delta falls below the lower hedge band
- Volatility filter confirms favorable regime (HV > IV)
**Short Entry** (sell the underlying):
- Price rises significantly (gamma scalp trigger), OR
- Straddle delta rises above the upper hedge band
- Volatility filter confirms favorable regime
---
## Volatility Regime Filter
The strategy compares **Historical Volatility (HV)** to **Implied Volatility (IV)**:
- **HV/IV > 1.2** → Long volatility regime (gamma scalping profitable) → Trading enabled
- **HV/IV < 0.8** → Short volatility regime (theta wins) → Trading paused or reversed
- **Between** → Neutral, proceed with caution
This filter helps avoid trading when market conditions don't favor the strategy.
---
## Key Inputs
**Option Parameters:**
- Strike Offset % — Distance from ATM (0 = at-the-money)
- Days to Expiration — Synthetic option tenor (affects gamma magnitude)
- Implied Volatility — Your estimate of fair IV
- Risk-Free Rate — For BS calculation
**Trading Parameters:**
- Gamma Scalp Threshold — ATR multiple to trigger trades
- Delta Hedge Band % — How far delta must deviate to signal
- Volatility Regime Filter — Enable/disable HV/IV filter
**Risk Management:**
- Stop Loss / Take Profit (ATR multiples)
- Max Drawdown % — Pauses trading if exceeded
- Max Concurrent Positions
---
## How to Use
1. **Set Implied Volatility** to match current market IV (check options chain or VIX for reference)
2. **Adjust Days to Expiration** — Shorter = higher gamma, more signals; Longer = smoother
3. **Tune the Hedge Band** — Tighter bands = more trades; Wider = fewer, larger moves
4. **Enable Volatility Filter** for trend-following vol regimes, disable for pure mean-reversion
**Best suited for:**
- Range-bound or choppy markets
- High realized volatility environments
- Liquid instruments with tight spreads
**Avoid using when:**
- Strong directional trends (gamma scalping loses to delta)
- Volatility is collapsing
- Low liquidity / wide spreads
---
## Information Table
The on-chart table displays real-time:
- Current strike price
- Straddle Delta, Gamma, Vega, Theta
- Historical vs Implied Volatility
- HV/IV Ratio
- Current volatility regime
---
## Alerts
Built-in alert conditions for:
- Long entry signals
- Short entry signals
- Max drawdown protection triggered
---
## Disclaimer
This strategy is provided for **educational purposes only**. It demonstrates how Black-Scholes option pricing theory can be applied to generate trading signals.
- Past performance does not guarantee future results
- Backtest results may not reflect live trading conditions
- Always use proper position sizing and risk management
- Paper trade extensively before using real capital
**No financial advice is given or implied.**

Breakout LevelsBreakout Levels - User Guide
Overview
The Breakout Levels indicator automatically detects and displays significant breakout candles across multiple timeframes. A breakout occurs when price makes a strong, decisive move - identified by candles with unusually large bodies relative to average volatility.
These breakout levels often act as future support/resistance zones, making them valuable reference points for trading decisions.
What is a Breakout?
A breakout is detected when a candle's body size (the distance between open and close) is significantly larger than normal. By default, the script looks for candles that are 2x the ATR (Average True Range) or larger.
Example:
If the 14-period ATR is $5, a candle with a $10+ body would qualify as a breakout
These represent strong, committed moves by the market
The script marks the high of bullish breakouts and the low of bearish breakouts
Settings Guide
Timeframes
Toggle which timeframes to monitor for breakouts:
Show Daily Breakouts - Green/Red levels from daily chart breakouts
Show 4H Breakouts - 4-hour timeframe breakouts
Show 1H Breakouts - 1-hour timeframe breakouts
Show 15M Breakouts - 15-minute timeframe breakouts
Tip: When running on a 15-minute chart, you can see breakouts from all higher timeframes simultaneously.
Lookback (How Far Back to Display)
Controls how many bars back to show levels for each timeframe:
TimeframeDefaultWhat it Means15M50 bars~12.5 hours of breakout history1H200 bars~8 days of breakout history4H250 bars~42 days of breakout historyDaily300 bars~300 days (nearly 1 year)
Why adjust this?
Increase to see more historical levels (may clutter chart)
Decrease to focus only on recent breakouts
Older levels are still stored, just not displayed

How to Use This Indicator
1. Identify Key Breakout Zones
Breakout levels often become magnets where price returns later:
Former resistance (where price broke up) becomes future support
Former support (where price broke down) becomes future resistance
2. Look for Confluence
When multiple timeframe breakouts cluster near the same price:
15M + 1H + 4H breakouts all near $150 = strong level
More confluence = more significant level
3. Watch for Retests
After a breakout, price often returns to test that level:
Bullish breakout retest from above = potential long entry
Bearish breakout retest from below = potential short entry
4. Combine with Other Analysis
Use breakout levels alongside:
Your own support/resistance analysis
Volume profiles
Fibonacci levels
Candlestick patterns at these levels
Practical Examples
Example 1: Clean Breakout and Retest
Daily candle closes up with a huge body (2.5x ATR)
Green line drawn at the high of that candle
Price pulls back 3 days later and bounces exactly off that green line
Trade opportunity: Long entry at the retest with stop below
Example 2: Failed Breakout
4H bearish breakout draws a red line at the low
Price immediately reverses back above the level
Signal: The breakout was false - consider this a stop hunt zone
Example 3: Multi-Timeframe Confluence
Daily breakout at $100
4H breakout at $100.50
1H breakout at $99.80
Strong cluster zone: $99.80-$100.50 becomes a major decision point
Best Practices
DO:
✅ Start with default settings (2.0x ATR, default lookbacks)
✅ Use on a 15-minute chart to see all timeframes
✅ Look for price reactions at these levels before trading
✅ Combine with volume - breakouts with high volume are more reliable
✅ Turn off labels when chart gets too busy
DON'T:
❌ Treat every line as guaranteed support/resistance
❌ Set breakout multiplier too low (<1.5) - creates noise
❌ Ignore the context - check what's happening in the broader market
❌ Trade blindly at these levels without confirmation
Troubleshooting
"Too many lines on my chart"
Reduce the lookback settings
Turn off some timeframes (maybe just show Daily + 4H)
Increase the breakout multiplier to 2.5 or 3.0
"Not showing any levels"
Lower the breakout multiplier to 1.5
Increase lookback settings
Check that at least one timeframe toggle is ON
Verify the market had actual volatility during the period
"Labels are cluttering the chart"
Turn off "Show Labels" in settings
Lines will remain, labels disappear
Technical Notes
ATR Period: 14 (industry standard, not adjustable in this version)
Max Lines: 500 (Pine Script limitation)
Duplicate Filter: Levels within 0.3% of ATR are considered duplicates and filtered
Chart Type: Works on any chart timeframe, optimized for 15-minute
Asset Type: Works on stocks, forex, crypto, futures
Summary
The Breakout Levels indicator gives you a systematic way to identify where strong, committed market moves occurred. These levels often act as future decision points. Use them as reference zones to watch for price reactions, not as automatic trade signals.
Quick Start:
Add indicator to a 15-minute chart
Leave default settings (2.0x ATR)
Watch how price interacts with the levels over the next few days
Adjust sensitivity based on your observations
Happy trading! 📈
VRVP Clone + Multi-POC -- PerroGordoVRVP Clone + Multi-POC
Overview
VRVP Clone + Multi-POC replicates TradingView's native Visible Range Volume Profile with several practical enhancements. The indicator displays volume distribution across price levels for the visible chart range, which is useful for identifying high-volume nodes, support/resistance zones, and areas of price acceptance.
The main differentiator from the built-in VRVP is support for multiple Point of Control (POC) lines with an intelligent peak detection algorithm. Instead of just showing the single highest-volume level, you can identify distinct volume clusters across different price zones.
Features
Dynamic Visible Range
Recalculates automatically on scroll or zoom
Analyzes only visible bars
Profile width scales proportionally to view
Multiple POC Detection (1-8 levels)
Volume Nodes Mode: Peak detection algorithm finds local volume maxima across distinct price clusters
Highest Rows Mode: Traditional approach - top N rows by raw volume
Configurable minimum separation between nodes to prevent bunching
Individual colors for each POC level
Volume Display Modes
Up/Down: Split bars showing buy vs. sell volume with black outlines for visual separation
Total: Single bar colored by dominant direction
Delta: Net volume (buy minus sell)
Delta Intensity: Gradient coloring indicating buyer/seller dominance strength per row
Value Area
Configurable percentage (default 70%)
VAH and VAL lines with customizable styles
Separate colors for volume inside vs. outside the Value Area
Positioning Options
Left or Right placement
Adjustable profile width as percentage of visible range
Row configuration via "Number of Rows" or "Ticks Per Row"
Additional Features
Statistics table showing bars analyzed, total volume, up/down percentages, price vs POC
POC price labels on chart
Line style options (Solid, Dashed, Dotted)
+++++
How It Works
Volume from each bar is distributed across price rows based on the bar's high-low range. The allocation is proportional - if a bar spans 3 rows with 60% overlap on one row, that row receives 60% of the bar's volume.
Volume Nodes Mode identifies local peaks in the distribution (rows where volume exceeds both neighbors), then selects the highest peaks while enforcing minimum separation. This surfaces distinct support/resistance clusters rather than stacking all POC lines in a single high-volume area.

Value Area Colors - Colors for VA regions
POC/VAH/VAL Colors - Line colors and styles
POC 2-8 Colors - Colors for additional POC levels
+++++
Applications
Support/Resistance Identification
High-volume nodes tend to act as price magnets. Multiple POCs reveal layered S/R zones that aren't visible with a single POC.
Fair Value Reference
The Value Area represents where 70% of volume traded. Price tends to revert to this zone.
Volume Gap Analysis
Low-volume areas between POCs indicate prices that were rejected quickly - potential breakout or breakdown levels.
Market Structure
Multiple POCs across price levels show where the market has found acceptance, useful for distinguishing range-bound conditions from trending moves.
+++++
Practical Notes
Volume Nodes mode with 3-5 POCs works well for identifying distinct S/R clusters
Higher row counts give more granular analysis on lower timeframes
Delta Intensity mode quickly shows buyer/seller dominance at each level without the visual noise of split bars
If POCs are too clustered, increase Min Node Separation; if too spread out, decrease it or set to 0 for auto
The stats table vs POC comparison is useful for quick directional bias assessment
+++++
Requirements
Any instrument with volume data
Works well on futures, forex, and liquid equities
Pine Script v6
