Momentum Acceleration by DGTItalian physicist Galileo Galilei is usually credited with being the first to measure speed by considering the distance covered and the time it takes. Galileo defined speed as the distance covered during a period of time. In equation form, that is v = Δd / Δt where v is speed, Δd is change in distance, and Δt is change in time. The Greek symbol for delta, a triangle (Δ), means change.
Is the speed getting faster or slower?
Acceleration will be the answer, acceleration is defined as the rate of change of speed over a set period of time, meaning something is getting faster or slower. Mathematically expressed, acceleration denoted as a is a = Δv / Δt , where Δv is the change in speed and Δt is the change in time.
How to apply in trading
Lets think about Momentum, Rate of Return, Rate of Change all are calculated in almost same approach with Speed
Momentum measures change in price over a specified time period,
Rate of Change measures percent change in price over a specified time period,
Rate of Return measures the net gain or loss over a specified time period,
And Speed measures change in distance over a specified time period
So we may state that measuring the change in distance is also measuring the change in price over a specified time period which is length, hence
speed can be calculated as (source – source )/length and acceleration becomes (speed – speed )/length
In this study acceleration is used as signal line and result plotted as arrows demonstrating bull or bear direction where direction changes can be considered as trading setups
Just a little fun, since we deal with speed the short name of the study is named after famous cartoon character Speedy Gonzales

Elliott Wave Oscillator Signals by DGTElliott Wave Principle , developed by Ralph Nelson Elliott, proposes that the seemingly chaotic behaviour of the different financial markets isn’t actually chaotic. In fact the markets moves in predictable, repetitive cycles or waves and can be measured and forecast using Fibonacci numbers. These waves are a result of influence on investors from outside sources primarily the current psychology of the masses at that given time. Elliott wave predicts that the prices of the a traded currency pair will evolve in waves: five impulsive waves and three corrective waves. Impulsive waves give the main direction of the market expansion and the corrective waves are in the opposite direction (corrective wave occurrences and combination corrective wave occurrences are much higher comparing to impulsive waves)
The Elliott Wave Oscillator (EWO) helps identifying where you are in the 5-3 Elliott Waves, mainly the highest/lowest values of the oscillator might indicate a potential bullish/bearish Wave 3. Mathematically expressed, EWO is the difference between a 5-period and 35-period moving average based on the close. In this study instead 35-period, Fibonacci number 34 is implemented for the slow moving average and formula becomes ewo = ema(source, 5) - ema(source, 34)
The application of the Elliott Wave theory in real time trading gets difficult because the charts look messy. This study (EWO-S) simplifies the visualization of EWO and plots labels on probable reversals/corrections. The good part is that all plotting’s are performed on the top of the price chart including a histogram (optional and supported on higher timeframes). Additionally optional Keltner Channels Cloud added to help confirming the price actions.
What to look for:
Plotted labels can be used to follow the Elliott Wave occurrences and most importantly they can be considered as signals for possible trade setup opportunities. Elliott Wave Rules and Fibonacci Retracement/Extensions are suggested to confirm the patters provided by the EWO-S

P-MACD by DGTPrice and Moving Averages Convergence/Divergence, shortly named as P-MACD
P-MACD is a trend-following momentum indicator that shows the relationship between Price and Long-term Moving Average (PMACD), and the relationship between two Moving Averages (MAMACD). P-MACD is composed of two lines, and an histogram, showing price distance (convergence/divergence) to its Long-term MA (PMACD), showing short-term MA distance (convergence/divergence) to long-term MA (MAMACD), and a histogram showing the difference (momentum) between the PMACD and MAMACD
The PMACD is calculated by dividing the Price to Long-term Moving Average (200-period SMA/EMA) and finally smoothed with 9-period SMA/EMA
- PMACD Line Formula : (Price / SlowMovingAverage -1) * 100 and smoothed with 9-period SMA/EMA
The MAMACD is calculated by dividing the Short-term Moving Average (such as 20 SMA/EMA) to the Long-term Moving Average (such as 200-period SMA/EMA)
- MAMACD Line Formula : (FastMovingAverage / SlowMovingAverage -1) * 100
The Histogram is calculated by subscripting PMACD and MAMACD
- Formula : PMACD - MAMACD
Optional
Trend Cloud calculated based on fast and slow version of MAMACD
What to look for:
- Line Crosses : PMACD Line can function as a trigger(signal) for buy and sell signals. Buy when the PMACD crosses above the MAMACD line and sell - or short - when the PMACD crosses below the MAMACD line
- Base Crosses : PMACD and/or MAMACD crosses above or below Baseline is another way to indicate the trend and momentum. MAMACD crosses of Baseline, MAMACD positive or negative, reflects short-term moving average crosses the long-term moving average and similarly, PMACD crosses of BaseLine, PMACD positive or negative, reflects price crosses a long-term moving average
- Momentum : P-MACD helps investors understand whether the bullish or bearish movement in the price is strengthening or weakening displayed with a histogram which graphs the distance between the PMACD and MAMACD. Additionally, upward momentum is confirmed with a bullish crossover, which occurs when PMACD and/or MAMACD crosses above Baseline. Conversely, downward momentum is confirmed with a bearish crossover, which occurs when PMACD and/or MAMACD crosses below Baseline
- Distance : Prices high above the moving average (MA) or low below it are likely to be remedied in the future by a reverse price movement. The more distant the PMACD is above or below its baseline indicates that the distance between the Price and its SMA is growing (regarding PMACD, You may find a detailed article explained in “Price Distance to its MA” indicator by DGT) . Similarly the more distant the MAMACD is above or below its baseline indicates that the distance between the two SMAs is growing
- Trend : A rising P-MACD indicates an uptrend, while a declining P-MACD indicates a downtrend
MACD vs. P-MACD
MACD measures the relationship between two MAs, while the P-MACD measures both the relationship between price and its MA, and the relationship between two MAs. MAMACD Line of P-MACD If set to same moving average type and same lengths as in MACD will produce the same line as MACD line, only values are represented as percentage with MAMACD. Both measure momentum in a market, but, because they measure different factors, they differentiate from each other even if they have similarities in presentation. P-MACD provides additional insights, not only to MA relation but also to Price and MA relation
Warning : Moving Average are calculated based on past prices, so they are lagging. The longer the time period for the moving average, the greater the lag as well as less sensitive to price changes. This study implements usage of 200-period long-term moving average, which implies that the P-MACD will provide insight especially for long-term trades, more suited for long-term trades, usage of P-MACD for short-term trades is recommend with lower timeframes (1H or lower).
Indicators aim to generate a potential signal/indication of an upcoming opportunity, but, the Indicators themselves do not guarantee the future movement of a given financial instrument, and are most useful when used in combination with other techniques.

HTF Candlestick Patterns [TradingView] vX by DGTCandlesticks are graphical representations of price movements for a given period of time. They are commonly formed by the opening, high, low, and closing prices of a financial instrument. They have their origins in the centuries-old Japanese rice trade and have made their way into modern day price charting.
It’s important to note that candlestick patterns aren’t necessarily a buy or sell signal by themselves. They are instead a way to look at market structure and a potential indication of an upcoming opportunity. It is always useful to look at candlestick patterns in context like any other market analysis tool and candlestick patterns are most useful when used in combination with other techniques. There are countless candlestick patterns that traders can use to identify areas of interest on a chart, where some candlestick patterns may provide insights into the balance between buyers and sellers, others may indicate a reversal, continuation, or indecision.
Reversal patterns are quite useful when used in context. Reversal patterns should form at the bottom of a downtrend or at the top of an uptrend. Otherwise, they are not a reversal patterns, but continuation patterns. Most reversal patterns require confirmation such as price move in the direction of reversal accompanied by appropriate trading volume. The reversal patterns can further be confirmed through other means of traditional technical analysis—like trend lines, momentum, oscillators, or volume indicators—to reaffirm buying or selling pressure. The patterns themselves do not guarantee that the trend will reverse. Investors should always confirm reversal by the subsequent price action before initiating a trade.
This study implements some of the most commonly used candlestick patterns in a context with directional movement indicator. On request users can adjust the strong trend threshold from dialog box, eighter can disabled correlation with directional movement indicator. To add additional sight to analysis the simple moving averages of 20, 50, 100 and 200 periods are added (configurable)
You may add additional indicators of your choice. Colored DMI, BB Cloud or Price Distance to its MAs may help
Enjoy it!

VAMA Volume Adjusted Moving AverageRichard Arms' Volume Adjusted Moving Average
Settings:
• Inp Avg Vol: Input - Purist method but not intended for live analysis, to retroactively alter MA curve enter Avg Vol from value shown on label into Use Avg Vol field.
• Inp Avg Vol: Current - Live method using current volume , to retroactively alter past MA curve toggle any setting back and forth to force recalculation.
• Inp Avg Vol: Subset - Similar to Current, but uses a subset rather than all bars for avg vol.
• Use Avg Vol - Used for Inp Avg Vol: Input mode. Enter volume from Avg Vol label here after each new bar closes, label will turn green, else red.
• Subset Data - Lookback length used for Inp Avg Vol: Subset mode.
• VAMA Length - Specified number of volume ratio buckets to be reached.
• Volume Incr - Size of volume ratio buckets.
• VAMA Source - Price used for volume weighted calculations.
• VAMA Strict - Must meet desired volume requirements, even if N bars has to exceed VAMA Length to do it.
• Show Avg Vol Label - Displays label on chart of total chart volume.
Notes: VAMA was created by Richard Arms. It utilizes a period length that is based on volume increments rather than time. It is an unusual indicator in that it cannot be used in some platforms in realtime mode as Arms had originally intended. VAMA requires that the average volume first be calculated for the entire chart duration, then that average volume is used to derive the variable adaptive length of the moving average. The consequence of this is that with each new bar, the new average volume alters the moving average period for the entire history. Since Pine scripts evaluate all historical bars only once upon initial script execution, there is no way to automatically shift the previous moving average values retroactively once a new bar has formed. Thus the historical plot of the moving average cannot be updated in realtime, but instead can only plot through previous bar that existed upon load or reinitialization through changing some setting.
Setting Use Avg Vol to Input mode the average volume through previous bar shown in label can be entered (input) into the Inp Avg Vol setting after each new bar closes. Entering this total chart volume forces the script to reevaluate historical bars which in turn allows the historical moving average to update the plot. When using Input mode the color of the label is green when Inp Avg Vol value matches current label value, the label color red signifies Inp Avg Vol value has not been entered or is stale.
Setting Use Avg Vol to Current mode allows the script to correctly calculate and plot the correct moving average upon initial load and the realtime moving average moving forward, but can not retroactively alter the plot of the past moving average unless some change is made in the script settings, such as toggling the Use Avg Vol from Current to some other choice and then back to Current .
Setting Use Avg Vol to Subset mode uses a rolling window of volume data to calculate the average volume and can be used in realtime, but should be noted it is a deviation from Richard Arms' original specification.

Dual SuperTrend, Ichimoku and DMI Color Weighted by DGTThis study interprets SuperTrend with Ichimoku Cloud, one of the popular technical analysis indicator, and interprets Directional Movement (DMI), which is another quite valuable technical analysis indicator.
Then combines the interpreted SuperTrend with interpreted Directional Movement (DMI) and Volume Based Colored Bars indicator created by Kıvaç ÖZBİLGİÇ (permission has been granted from the author)
Here are details of the concept applied
1- SuperTrend Line colored based on Ichimoku Cloud
Definition
The Ichimoku Cloud, developed by Goichi Hosoda and published in the late 1960s, is a collection of technical indicators that give it a unique capacity to show support and resistance levels, momentum and trend direction
What Does the Ichimoku Cloud Tells?
The overall trend is up when price is above the cloud, known as Kumo Cloud, down when price is below the Kumo Cloud, and trendless or transitioning when price is in the Kumo Cloud
When Senkou Span A (Leading Span A) is rising and above Senkou Span B (Leading Span B), this helps confirm the uptrend and space between the lines is typically colored green. When Senkou Span A is falling and below Senkou Span B, this helps confirm the downtrend. The space between the lines is typically colored red
Traders often use the Kumo Cloud as an area of support and resistance depending on the relative location of the price. The Kumo Cloud provides support/resistance levels that can be projected into the future. This sets the Ichimoku Cloud apart from many other technical indicators that only provide support and resistance levels for the current date and time
Crossovers, also known as TK Cross among Ichimoku Cloud traders, are another way the indicator can be used. Watch for the Tenkan-Sen Line, or Conversion Line, to move above the Kijun-Sen Line, or Base Line, especially when price is above the Kumo cloud. This can be a powerful buy signal. One option is to hold the trade until the Tenkan-Sen drops back below the Kijun-Sen Line. Any of the other lines could be used as exit points as well.
With this study:
Allow Traders to use the Ichimoku Cloud in conjunction with other technical indicators to maximize their risk-adjusted returns
The Ichimoku Cloud can make a chart look busy with all the lines. To Remedy this a different approach is applied in this study showing the Price and the Kumo Cloud relation as well as TK Crosses displayed. The SuperTrend Indicator is chosen to display Ichimoku Indicator, where the SuperTrend is another trend following indicator.
How it works:
SuperTrend Line is colored as:
Green when the Price is above the Kumo Cloud
Red when the Price is below the Kumo Cloud
Black when the Price is within the Kumo Cloud
And Finally Blue when the Kumo Cloud Is not ready to be drawn or not Kumo Cloud available
Additionally intensity of the colors used in all cases above are defined by values of Tenkan-Sen and Kijun-Sen Line, which allows us to detect TK Crosses
2- Plots Colored Directional Movement Line
Definition
Directional Movement (DMI) (created by J. Welles Wilder ) is actually a collection of three separate indicators combined into one. Directional Movement consists of the Average Directional Index (ADX) , Plus Directional Indicator (+D I) and Minus Directional Indicator (-D I) . ADX's purposes is to define whether or not there is a trend present. It does not take direction into account at all. The other two indicators (+DI and -DI) are used to compliment the ADX. They serve the purpose of determining trend direction. By combining all three, a technical analyst has a way of determining and measuring a trend's strength as well as its direction.
This study combines all three lines in a single colored shapes series plotted on the top of the price chart indicating the trend strength with different colors and its direction with triangle up and down shapes.
What to look for
Trend Strength : Analyzing trend strength is the most basic use for the DMI. Wilder believed that a DMI reading above 25 indicated a strong trend, while a reading below 20 indicated a weak or non-existent trend
Crosses : DI Crossovers are the significant trading signal generated by the DMI
With this study
A Strong Trend is assumed when ADX >= 25
Bullish Trend is defined as (+D I > -DI ) and (ADX >= 25), which is plotted as green triangle up shape on top of the price chart
Bearish Trend is defined as (+D I < -DI ) and (ADX >= 25), which is plotted as red triangle down shape on top of the price chart
Week Trend is assumed when 17< ADX < 25, which is plotted as black triangles up or down shape, depending on +DI-DI values, on top of the price chart
Non-Existent Trend is assumed when ADX < 17, which is plotted as yellow triangles up or down shape, depending on +DI-DI values, on top of the price chart
Additionally intensity of the colors used in all cases above are defined by comparing ADX’s current value with its previous value
3- Volume Based Colored Bars indicator created by Kıvaç ÖZBİLGİÇ
Volume Based Colored Bars colors the bars into volume weighted signals increasing the visibility of the Volume changes. Intensity of the colors of the bars varies according to average value of the volume for given length of bars (default value set to 30 bars)

Colored Directional Movement and Bollinger Band's Cloud by DGTThis study combines Bollinger Bands, one of the most popular technical analysis indicators on the market, and Directional Movement (DMI), which is another quite valuable technical analysis indicator.
Bollinger Bands used in conjunction with Directional Movement (DMI) may help getting a better understanding of the ever changing landscape of the market and perform more advanced technical analysis
Here are details of the concept applied
1- Plots Bollinger Band’s (BB) Cloud colored based on Bollinger Band Width (BBW) Indicator’s value
Definition
Bollinger Bands (created by John Bollinger ) are a way to measure volatility . As volatility increases, the wider the bands become and similarly as volatility decreases, the gap between bands narrows
Bollinger Bands, in widely used approach, consist of a band of three lines. Likewise common usage In this study a band of five lines is implemented
The line in the middle is a Simple Moving Average (SMA) set to a period of 20 bars (the most popular usage). The SMA then serves as a base for the Upper and Lower Bands. The Upper and Lower Bands are used as a way to measure volatility by observing the relationship between the Bands and price. the Upper and Lower Bands in this study are set to two and three standard deviations (widely used form is only two standard deviations) away from the SMA (The Middle Line), hence there are two Upper Bands and two Lower Bands. The background between two Upper Bands is filled with a green color and the background between two Lower Bands is filled with a red color. In this we have obtained Bollinger Band’s (BB) Clouds (Upper Cloud and Lower Cloud)
Additionally the intensity of the color of the background is calculated with Bollinger Bands Width ( BBW ), which is a technical analysis indicator derived from the standard Bollinger Bands indicator. Bollinger Bands Width, quantitatively measures the width between the Upper and Lower Bands. In this study the intensity of the color of the background is increased if BBW value is greater than %25
What to look for
Price Actions : Prices are almost always within the bands especially at this study the bands of three standard deviations away from the SMA. Price touching or breaking the BB Clouds could be considered as buying or selling opportunity. However this is not always the case, there are exceptions such as Walking the Bands. “Walking the Bands” can occur in either a strong uptrend or a strong downtrend. During a strong trend, there may be repeated instances of price touching or breaking through the BB Clouds. Each time that this occurs, it is not a signal, it is a result of the overall strength of the move. In this study in order to get a better understanding of the trend and add ability to perform some advanced technical analysis Directional Movement Indicator (DMI) is added to be used in conjunction with Bollinger Bands.
Cycling Between Expansion and Contraction : One of the most well-known theories in regards to Bollinger Bands is that volatility typically fluctuates between periods of expansion (Bands Widening : surge in volatility and price breaks through the BB Cloud) and contraction (Bands Narrowing : low volatility and price is moving relatively sideways). Using Bollinger Bands in conjunction with Bollinger Bands Width may help identifying beginning of a new directional trend which can result in some nice buying or selling signals. Of course the trader should always use caution

Additionally intensity of the colors used in all cases above are defined by comparing ADX’s current value with its previous value
Summary of the Study:
Even more simplified and visually enhanced DMI drawing comparing to its classical usage (may require a bit practice to get used to it)
As said previously, to get a better understanding of the trend and add ability to perform some advanced technical analysis Directional Movement Indicator (DMI) is used in conjunction with Bollinger Bands.

Trend Following Moving AveragesWhile analysing a chart, one of the biggest problem is to see if there is trend or not. While thinking about it, I found the idea to analyse moving averages in channel and their momentum according to channel width. I already published it as Trend Following Bar as you see at bottom of the chart.
How it Works?
On each bar it creates a channel by highest/lowest point of a MA. highest point is upper line and lowest point is lower line of the MA channel,
It gets highest and lowest point of last 300 bars, (say Price Channel )
If the width of MA channel is greater than certain rate of price channel then it decides there is trend
After it decided there is trend, it calculates the rate between channel and MA. Bigger result means stronger trend.
According to rate of MA channel and the price channel , MA Line becomes lighter/darker. so when you look at the MA Line's color you can see the trend strength.
Some details about my idea:
Options:
You can choose following MA types as source: EMA, SMA , RMA, WMA , VWMA
"Period to Check Trend" is the period to create MA channel. Bigger period cause more sensitivity.
"Trend Channel Rate %" is rate of price channel . Price channel created by using highest/lowest of last 300 bars. I did this to make the script works on all time frames correctly.
"Use Linear Regression" is used to get rid of noise. it may cause 1-2 bars latency.

Market Adaptive Stop-LossI realized that the zone changes in the stoploss remained slow, so I couldn't make enough use of the characteristics of technical indicators when opening positions.
This pushed me to keep stop-loss under the influence of a dependent variable.
This script helped me a lot (everget) :
I've redesigned the stop-loss to be affected by intersections.
Therefore, this script is also suitable for adaptive moving averages, fractional periods.
Script features:
1.You can select calculation methods created by using various technical analysis methods from the scripts' settings:
-Moving Average Convergence Divergence ( Macd )
-Stochastic Oscillator ( Stoch )
-Stochastic Relative Strength Index (StochRSI)
-Stochastic Money Flow Index (StochMFI ) (More info : )
-Know Sure Thing ( KST )
-OBV ( On Balance Volume )
-SMA ( Simple Moving Average )
-EMA ( Exponential Moving Average )
-FISHERTRANSFORM ( Fisher Transform )
-AWESOMEOSCILLATOR( Awesome Oscillator )
-PSAR ( Parabolic Stop and Reverse - Parabolic SAR )
-HULLMA( Hull Moving Average )
-VWMA ( Volume Weighted Moving Average )
-RMA (Moving Average using in Relative Strength Index calculations.)
-COG (Center of Gravity )
-ACC-DIST ( Accumulation / Distribution Index )
2 - The region is determined according to the above calculation methods and if it is larger or smaller than the previous stop loss level.
And if the price in the negative zone is lower than the stoploss, it is the exact signal and is shown with more highlighted colors.
And, in the positive zone, where the price is greater than the stoploss, the trade zones are certain.
Shown with more highlighted colors.
If the zones are correct but stop-loss is not suitable for opening positions:
In other words, if the stop-loss is above/under the highest-lowest levels in the positive zone or if the stop loss is located in the lower zone in the negative zone, these zones are shown to be darker and dimmed so that they do not cause false movements.
*** SUMMARY : As a result, you can use this script with support and resistances,and trend lines to get good results.
I hope it helps in your analyzes. Best regards.
Delta Volume Columns [LucF]Displays delta volume columns using intrabar volume information. Each volume column is divided into three sections: buying, selling and neutral volume. Volume for each section is determined from the volume and price movement of each intrabar at a user-selected lower resolution.
Features include:
- Choice of color themes for either dark or light chart backgrounds
- Delta volume columns
- Volume Balance displayed as the difference between the MAs of buying and selling volume
- Display of divergences between a bar’s volume balance and the bar’s price movement (example: buying volume > selling volume but close < open). Divergences can be shown in 2 different color schemes (including green/red showing a tentative direction), on volume columns and/or on chart bars
- Display of bar by bar volume balance with highlighting of above average volume
- Display of the usual total volume MA
- Choice of the lower resolution used to retrieve intrabar information
- Alerts configurable on any combination of the markers, with control over long/short direction
- Choice of 3 different markers:
1. Double bumps: two consecutive bars where buying or selling volume is in the same direction and where volume > volume MA
2. Divergence confirmations: direction of the price bar following a price/volume balance divergence
3. Volume balance shifts: zero level crossings of the volume balance MA delta
The chart shows the two main modes of display:
- Top pane : shows the stacked volume columns with divergences in orange and the flattened volume balance MAs delta at the bottom of the volume columns. This volume balance is the same shown in the bottom pane. The top pane also shows the instant volume balance strip above the volume columns. The strip’s colors show which of the buying or selling volume was greater, and colors are brighter if the total volume was above the total volume MA.
- Bottom pane : shows the volume balance MAs delta with markers 1 and 2. Given that this graphic has no price momentum component, I find quite eerie how it often looks like a momentum-based signal.
The default 5 minute intrabar resolution is used in combination with the weekly chart, which is excessive.
This script uses a special characteristic of the security() function’s behavior when it is sent to a resolution lower than the chart’s resolution. Details are given in the script’s comments. This method has the advantage of working under more circumstances than some of the other loop-based methods, but it also has its limits.

- The method used does not work on the realtime bar—only on historical bars. Consequently, the volume column shown on the realtime bar is a normal volume column plotted in green or red, following price movement. The column will only show delta volume information after it closes and becomes a historical bar.
- The indicator only works on some chart resolutions: 5, 10, 15 and 30 minutes, 1, 2, 4, 6, and 12 hours, 1 day, 1 week and 1 month. The script’s code can be modified to run on other resolutions, but chart resolutions must be divisible by the lower resolution used for intrabars.
- Intrabar resolutions can be selected from 1, 5, 15, 30, 45 minutes, 1, 2, 3, 4 hours, 1 day, 1 week and 1 month. The intrabar resolution must of course be smaller than the chart’s resolution.
- Contrary to my other indicators where alerts must be configured to trigger “Once Per Bar Close” in order to avoid false triggers (or repainting), all this indicator’s alerts are designed to trigger using previous bar information since the indicator’s calculations in the realtime bar are not exact. Markers are not plotted with a negative offset; they appear at the beginning of the realtime bar following confirmation of the marker’s condition on the previous bar. Alerts for this indicator should thus be configured to trigger “Once Per Bar” so they trigger at the beginning of the realtime bar. Note that the penalty is not that great, as it is simply the instant between the close of the previous realtime bar and the opening of the next. The advantage of using this technique is that the indicator does not repaint; a marker that appears at the beginning of the realtime bar will never disappear.
- The script only plots information that is reliable in the realtime bar, i.e., total volume and markers. All other plots are set to n/a to prevent misleading traders.
- When the difference between the chart’s resolution and the lower resolution is too important, volume columns will not calculate for all bars in the dataset.
On Delta Volume
Buying or selling volume are misnomers, as every unit of volume transacted is both bought and sold by 2 different traders. There is no such thing as “buy only” or “sell only” volume, but trader lingo is riddled with original fabulations.
Without access to order book information, traders work with the assumption that when price moves up during a bar, there was more buying pressure than selling pressure. The built-in volume indicator available on TradingView uses this logic to color the volume columns green or red. While this script’s numbers are more precise because it analyses a number of intrabars to calculate its information, it uses the exact same imperfect logic to calculate its buying/selling/neutral sections.
Until Pine scripts can have access to how much volume was transacted at the bid/ask prices, our so-called buying/selling volume information will always be a mere proxy.
Divergences
You may wonder how there can be divergences between buying/selling volume information and price movement. This will sometimes be due to the methodology’s shortcomings we have just discussed, but divergences may also occur in instances where because of order book structure, it takes less volume to increase the price of an asset than it takes to decrease it.
As usual, divergences are points of interest because they reveal imbalances, which may or may not become turning points. I do not share the overwhelming enthusiasm traders have for divergences. To your pattern-hungry brain, the orange bars this indicator shows on chart will—as divergences on other indicators do–appear to often indicate turnarounds. My opinion is that reality is generally quite sobering, as many who have tried building automated rules based on divergences will tell you. I do not have hard numbers on the lack of performance of divergences—only many failed attempts to make them perform, which a few experienced strategy modelers I know share with me. Please don’t try to read too much into them. While they look great on past data, I find they are often difficult to use in realtime to make bets with good odds.

Smooth Moving Average Ribbon [STUDY] @PuppyTherapyThe Smooth moving average ribbon script is an enhancement of the script I posted yesterday. But will help you also create a very simple trend-following strategy or a simple trend-following filter.
You are able to select from a large variety of moving averages add Heikin Ashi Candles as a source and also add additional smoothing to every single of the moving averages.
The Study script is equipped with alerts.
It is a showcase that a simple strategy like buy when we going up and sell when we going down actually works especially on a bigger timeframe.
Thanks to all supporters and everget for some of the moving average scripts.
BarstateThe TradingView system has two types of bars. Bars that are historical and bars that are real-time.
When programming complex scripts and strategies that use higher timeframe data there can be difficult programming conditions due to these two bar states.
Especially in the case of after-hours, end of day, low volume trading and thinly traded stocks the bar state status can sometimes be historical and sometimes be real-time in different timeframes or even the same timeframe.
This script displays what state a bar is in by shading the background of the chart.
The script is being made publicly available to help my script users know about and understand 'barstate'. The script allows users to see the 'barstate' in order to help report bugs and conduct their own workarounds.
My testing has indicated that the 'barstate' status is sometimes spurious especially on thinly traded symbols. Additionally, the Tradingview back-end calls the script only after price changes to reduce system load. As a result, these two characteristics can cause unexpected Pine Script results.

Appendix C: TradeStation Code for the MIDAS Topfinder/Bottomfinder Curves ported to Tradingview
This script requires a working understanding of "Midas Technical Analysis" Google "Midas Technical Analysis" and a variety of information will appear.
To find fit the curve as described in the Midas book a companion script is required that will after a few manual iterative inputs guide you to the appropriate D value for the for input into this program ( see the TB-F Matcher script). You might also try the Midas average and Deltas as described in the book. I have added the 2nd, 3rd and 4th multiples of Delta.
The advantage is that there is no curve fitting. You still need to select a starting point for Midas or the topfinder bottomfinder (TB_F)
or the VWAP.

Securities day session - Opening-Range- Jayy Opening Range (OR) for regular daytime session eg NYSE 0 930hrs to 1600 hrs.
This is not for Forex sessions which is addressed in a separate script.
This script fixes two issues:
syntax error when code compiles
flaky plotting of the opening range and targets that required page reloading
Additions:
In this code there are more more opening range time period choices at the bottom of the format dialogue box
Opening Range Targets:
Opening Range Targets as per Leaf_West
Targets are set at 127% , 162%, 200 %, 262 %, 362%, 423%, 685%, 1109% and 1794% and this can be traded intraday using methods described at charts-by-leaf.com I also have some Leaf West PDFs that describe how the targets are set and how they are traded. There are others that use opening range.
See the notes in the script for more detail.
My first opening range script originated from work done by Chris Moody. This script has changed significantly but there are small remnants of Chris Moody's script lurking within.
This script is available to all.
Cheers Jayy
[LAVA] Relative Price DifferenceThis script shows the relative price difference based off the last high and low, so many bars ago. Bollinger bands are also included by default for closer inspection on the intensity of the movement or the lack thereof. Bollinger bands will follow the smoothed line which will allow the reactionary line to cross the boundary during an intense movement. With the colors selected, a gray color will appear after the color to the zero line to announce a deep correction is possible. Buy/Sell indicators show up as crosses to indicate when the price is moving in a certain direction. Sideways stagnation will have several crosses due to the close proximity to the zero line.
I use 21 in the demo here without the bollinger bands or buy/sell indicators to show the power of the script to identify bottoms and tops using the tips and hand drawn trendlines.
(This script is actually the same script as before, but listed here as the final version. Hopefully this will be my last update with this script.)
If you use and enjoy this script, please like it!
CRAZY RAY RAY - Dashboard 1-5-15-1D + SMC + Clock + Candles PRO OANDA:XAUUSD This script is essentially your institutional "nuclear power plant" for scalping and swing trading: it combines the 1-5-15-1D dashboard, SMC, PRO candles, money flow times, institutional filters, Bull/Bear 12C, Liquidity HUD, Fibo Move, and Target Trend with SL + 3 TPs into a single indicator. 1. Dashboard 1–5–15–1D (Central HUD)
Calculates across 4 timeframes: 1m, 5m, 15m, and 1D:
Trend with EMAs 15/30/200.
RSI (strength >50 buy, <50 sell).
MACD (crossover in favor or against).
For each timeframe it shows:
TREND → BULLISH / BEARISH / NEUTRAL.
ACTION → BUY / SELL / WAIT.
If all 4 timeframes align:
MODE = BULLISH BUY
MODE = BEARISH SELL
Filters and displays on the HUD if buys or sells are blocked by SMC context (BLOCKED BUY / BLOCKED SELL).
Also draws 2 simple moving averages on the chart:
SMA 20 white (you can use it as a micro-trend).
SMA 200 red (macro trend and institutional reference).
2. Real-Time Clock + Trading Hours
Calculates the real time for:
New York / Miami
London
Tokyo
using current time and real time zone.
Also calculates GMT time to know which session is dominant.
Marks your trading hours:
LONDON 3:00–5:30 (London time) → goodLondon
NY OPEN 8:30–10:00 (NY time) → goodNYOpen
ASIA 20:00–23:00 (Tokyo) → goodAsiaScalp
Displays a message on the HUD:
LONDON 3:00–5:30 (1–2 TRADES)
NY OPEN 8:30–10:00 (1 TRADE)
ASIA 20–23 (SCALP)
NO TRADE ROLL / DEAD / LATE
ONLY A+ SETUPS (when not in strong trading hours).
3. Institutional Power (volume + ATR + session)
Filter that evaluates whether the moment is institutional or retail:
Checks:
If you are in a strong trading session (London / NY). If the volume is above the average × multiplier.
If the ATR is above the average × multiplier.
If it passes the filters → INST ON, otherwise → RETAIL ZONE.
Used internally to block buys/sells and for the HUD.
4. Micro-signal “NO RETRACEMENT” on 1m (BUY SR / SELL SR)
On the 1-minute timeframe, it detects a very aggressive entry:
Clean trend (15/30/200 EMAs aligned).
Price crosses the 200 EMA.
MACD turns in favor.
Marks on the candle:
BUY SR (buys without retracement below the EMA200).
SELL SR (sales without retracement above the EMA200).
This state is also reflected in the HUD as the “SR” row.
5. SMC Block: HH/HL/LH/LL + BMS + ChoCH + Fibo + Zones
This is the SMC brain of the script:
Detects swings with pivots:
Paints HH, HL, LH, LL (if you activate showHHLL).
Marks BOS (break of structure).
Marks BMS and ChoCH (with strong or weak filter using ATR, volume, MACD, gaps).
Draws:
Internal Fibo of the last range (38–50–61).
Fibo entry zone 38–78% as a green discount/premium box.
Institutional mitigation zones (simple OB type green/red boxes).
Current range with dotted yellow lines.
Calculates logic for:
antiStupidBuy: blocks purchases when the context is very bearish (LL–LL–LH, bearish ChoCH, premium, EQH, etc.).
antiStupidSell: symmetrical for sales.
From this comes:
allowBuyInst
allowSellInst
buyBlockerOn / sellBlockerOn
buyTrapDetected (BUY SR signal but context blocks it → BUY TRAP).
All this feeds the HUD and institutional alerts.
6. PRO Candles (candlestick + smart color)
Candlestick pattern system:
Detects:
Hammer, Inverted Hammer. Doji.
Strong bullish/bearish candle.
Bullish/bearish engulfing.
Uses a trend EMA to determine if the pattern is with or against the trend.
Colors the candles according to the pattern (if you enable useColorCandles).
Defines texts:
patternText (pattern name).
biasText (reversal, momentum, indecision).
Updates the HUD with the current pattern (“CANDLE: Engulf Bull”, etc.).
7. Institutional PRO Combo + Reversals
Connects everything:
fullBuySetup:
allowBuyInst TRUE (SMC + Fibo + mitigation OK).
Institutional candles in favor (engulfing, hammer, etc.).
MultiTF aligned (1m, 5m in favor, 15/1D not strongly against).
Strong session (London or NY).
No blockages.
fullSellSetup: the same for sales.
Marks on the chart:
BUY PRO, SELL PRO.
BUY REV LL → reversal from a LL, at Fibo discount, with an institutional candle and above EMA200.
SELL REV HH → reversal from HH, at Fibo premium, with an institutional candle and below EMA200.
And generates alerts for all of this.
8. Dynamic Main HUD

PoC Migration Map [BackQuant]PoC Migration Map
A volume structure tool that builds a side volume profile, extracts rolling Points of Control (PoCs), and maps how those PoCs migrate through time so you can see where value is moving, how volume clusters shift, and how that aligns with trend regime.
What this is
This indicator combines a classic volume profile with a segmented PoC trail. It looks back over a configurable window, splits that window into bins by price, and shows you where volume has concentrated. On top of that, it slices the lookback into fixed bar segments, finds the local PoC in each segment, and plots those PoCs as a chain of nodes across the chart.
The result is a "migration map" of value:
A side volume profile that shows how volume is distributed over the recent price range.
A sequence of PoC nodes that show where local value has been accepted over time.
Lines that connect those PoCs to reveal the path of value migration.
Optional trend coloring based on EMA 12 and EMA 21, so each PoC also encodes trend regime.
Used together, this gives you a structural read on where the market has actually traded size, how "value" is moving, and whether that movement is aligned or fighting the current trend.
Core components
Lookback volume profile - a side histogram built from all closes and volumes in the chosen lookback window.
Segmented PoC trail - rolling PoCs computed over fixed bar segments, plotted as nodes in time.
Trend heatmap - optional color mapping of PoC nodes using EMA 12 versus EMA 21.
PoC labels - optional labels on every Nth PoC for easier reading and referencing.
How it works
1) Global lookback and binning
You choose:
Lookback Bars - how far back to collect data.
Number of Bins - how finely to split the price range.
The script:
Finds the highest high and lowest low in the lookback.
Computes the total price range and divides it into equal binCount slices.
Assigns each bar's close and volume into the appropriate price bin.
This creates a discretized volume distribution across the entire lookback.
2) Side volume profile
If "Show Side Profile" is enabled, a right-hand volume profile is drawn:
Each bin becomes a horizontal bar anchored at a configurable "Right Offset" from the current bar.
The horizontal width of each bar is proportional to that bin's volume relative to the maximum volume bin.
Optionally, volume values and percentages are printed inside the profile bars.
Color and transparency are controlled by:
Base Profile Color and its transparency.
A gradient that uses relative volume to modulate opacity between lower volume and higher volume bins.
Profile Width (%) - how wide the maximum bin can extend in bars.
This gives you an at-a-glance view of the volume landscape for the chosen lookback window.
3) Segmenting for PoC migration
To build the PoC trail, the lookback is divided into segments:
Bars per Segment - bars in each local cluster.
Number of Segments - how many segments you want to see back in time.
For each segment:
The script uses the same price bins and accumulates volume only from bars in that segment.
It finds the bin with the highest volume in that segment, which is the local PoC for that segment.
It sets the PoC price to the center of that bin.
It finds the "mid bar" of the segment and places the PoC node at that time on the chart.
This is repeated for each segment from older to newer, so you get a chain of PoCs that shows how local value has migrated over time.
4) Trend regime and color coding
The indicator precomputes:
EMA 12 (Fast).
EMA 21 (Slow).
For each PoC:
It samples EMA 12 and EMA 21 at the mid bar of that segment.
It computes a simple trend score as fast EMA minus slow EMA.
If trend heatmap is enabled, PoC nodes (and the lines between them) are colored by:
Trend Up Color if EMA 12 is above EMA 21.
Trend Down Color if EMA 12 is below EMA 21.
Trend Flat Color if they are roughly equal.
If the trend heatmap is disabled, PoC color is instead based on PoC migration:
If the current PoC is above the previous PoC, use the Up PoC Color.
If the current PoC is below the previous PoC, use the Down PoC Color.
If unchanged, use the Flat PoC Color.
5) Connecting PoCs and labels
Once PoC prices and times are known:
Each PoC is connected to the previous one with a dotted line, using the PoC's color.
Optional labels are placed next to every Nth PoC:
Label text uses a simple "PoC N" scheme.
Label background uses a configurable label background color.
Label border is colored by the PoC's own color for visual consistency.
This turns the PoCs into a visual path that can be read like a "value trajectory" across the chart.
What it plots
When fully enabled, you will see:
A right-sided volume profile for the chosen lookback window, built from volume by price.
Colored horizontal bars representing each price bin's relative volume.
Optional volume text showing each bin's volume and its percentage of the profile maximum.
A series of PoC nodes spaced across the chart at the mid point of each segment.
Dotted lines connecting those PoCs to show the migration path of value.
Optional PoC labels at each Nth node for easier reference.
Color-coding of PoCs and lines either by EMA 12 / 21 trend regime or by up/down PoC drift.
Reading PoC migration and market pressure
Side profile as a pressure map
The side profile shows where trading has been most active:
Thick, opaque bars represent high volume zones and possible high interest or acceptance areas.
Thin, faint bars represent low volume zones, potential rejection or transition areas.
When price trades near a high volume bin, the market is sitting on an area of prior acceptance and size.
When price moves quickly through low volume bins, it often does so with less friction.
This gives you a static map of where the market has been willing to do business within your lookback.
PoC trail as a value migration map
The PoC chain represents "where value has lived" over time:
An upward sloping PoC trail indicates value migrating higher. Buyers have been willing to transact at increasingly higher prices.
A downward sloping trail indicates value migrating lower and sellers pushing the center of mass down.
A flat or oscillating trail indicates balance or rotational behaviour, with no clear directional acceptance.
Taken together, you can interpret:
Side profile as "where the volume mass sits", a static pressure field.
PoC trail as "how that mass has moved", the dynamic path of value.
Trend heatmap as a regime overlay
When PoCs are colored by the EMA 12 / 21 spread:
Green PoCs mark segments where the faster EMA is above the slower EMA, that is, a local uptrend regime.
Red PoCs mark segments where the faster EMA is below the slower EMA, that is, a local downtrend regime.
Gray PoCs mark flat or ambiguous trend segments.
This lets you answer questions like:
"Is value migrating higher while the trend regime is also up?" (trend confirming value).
"Is value migrating higher but most PoCs are red?" (value against the prevailing trend).
"Has value started to roll over just as PoCs flip from green to red?" (early regime transition).

Trading applications
1) Value migration and trend confirmation
Use the PoC path to see if value is following price or lagging it:
In a healthy uptrend, price, PoCs, and trend regime should all lean higher.
In a weakening trend, price may still move up, but PoCs flatten or start drifting lower, suggesting fewer participants are accepting the new highs.
In a downtrend, persistent downward PoC migration confirms that sellers are winning the value battle.
2) Identifying acceptance and rejection zones
Combine the side profile with PoC locations:
High volume bins near clustered PoCs mark strong acceptance zones, good areas to watch for re-tests and decision points.
PoCs that quickly jump across low volume areas can indicate rejection and fast repricing between value zones.
High volume zones with mixed PoC colors may signal balance or prolonged negotiation.
3) Structuring entries and exits
Use the map to refine trade location:
Fade trades against value migration are higher risk unless you see clear signs of exhaustion or regime change.
Pullbacks into prior PoC zones in the direction of the current PoC slope can offer higher quality entries.
Stops placed beyond major accepted zones (clusters of PoCs and high volume bins) are less likely to be hit by random noise.
4) Regime transitions
Watch how PoCs behave as the EMA regime changes:
A flip in EMA 12 versus EMA 21, coupled with a turn in PoC slope, is a strong signal that value is beginning to move with the new trend.
If EMAs flip but PoC migration does not follow, the trend signal may be early or false.
A weakening PoC path (lower highs in PoCs) while trend colors are still green can warn of a late-stage trend.
Best practices
Start with a moderate lookback such as 200 to 300 bars and a moderate bin count such as 20 to 40. Too many bins can make the profile overly granular and sparse.
Align "Bars per Segment" with your trading horizon. For example, 5 to 10 bars for intraday, 10 to 20 bars for swing.
Use the profile and PoC trail as structural context rather than as a direct buy or sell signal. Combine with your existing setups for timing.
Pay attention to clusters of PoCs at similar prices. Those are areas where the market has repeatedly accepted value, and they often matter on future tests.
Notes
This is a structural volume tool, not a complete trading system. It does not manage execution, position sizing or risk management. Use it to understand:
Where the bulk of trading has occurred in your chosen window.
How the center of volume has migrated over time.
Whether that migration is aligned with or fighting the current trend regime.
By turning PoC evolution into a visible path and adding a trend-aware heatmap, the PoC Migration Map makes it easier to see how value has been moving, where the market is likely to feel "heavy" or "light", and how that structure fits into your trading decisions.
VB-MainLiteVB-MainLite – v1.0 Initial Release
Overview
VB-MainLite is a consolidated market-structure and execution framework designed to streamline decision-making into a single chart-level view. The script combines multi-timeframe trend, volatility, volume, and liquidity signals into one cohesive visual layer, reducing indicator clutter while preserving depth of information for active traders.
Core Architecture
Trend Backbone – EMA 200
Dedicated EMA 200 acts as the primary trend filter and higher-timeframe bias reference.
Serves as the “spine” of the system for contextualizing all secondary signals (swings, reversals, volume events, etc.).
Custom MA Suite (Envelope Ready)
Four configurable moving averages with flexible source, length, and smoothing.
Default configuration (preset idea: “8/89 Envelope”):
MA #1: EMA 8 on high
MA #2: EMA 8 on low
MA #3: EMA 89 on high
MA #4: EMA 89 on low
All four are disabled by default to keep the chart minimal. Users can toggle them on from the Custom MAs group for envelope or cloud-style configurations.
Nadaraya–Watson Smoother (Swing Framework)
Gaussian-kernel Nadaraya–Watson regression applied to price (hl2) to build a smooth synthetic curve.
Two layers of functionality:
Swing labels (▲ / ▼) at inflection points in the smoothed curve.
Optional curve line that visually tracks the turning structure over the last ~500 bars.
Designed to surface early swing potential before standard MAs react.
Hull Moving Average (Trend Overlay)
Optional Hull MA (HMA) for faster trend visualization.
Color-coded by slope (buy/sell bias).
Default: off to prevent overloading the chart; can be enabled under Hull MA settings.
Momentum, Exhaustion & Pattern Engine
CCI-Based Bar Coloring
CCI applied to close with configurable thresholds.
Overbought / oversold CCI zones map directly into candle coloring to visually highlight short-term momentum extremes.
RSI Top / Bottom Exhaustion Finder
RSI logic applied separately to high-driven (tops) and low-driven (bottoms) sequences.
Plots:
Top arrows where high-side RSI stretches into high-risk territory.
Bottom arrows where low-side RSI indicates exhaustion on the downside.
Useful as confluence around the Nadaraya swing turns and EMA 200 regime.
Engulfing + MA Trend Engine (“Fat Bull / Fat Bear”)
Detects bullish and bearish engulfing patterns, then combines them with MA trend cross logic.
Only when both pattern and MA regime align does the engine flag:
Fat Bull (Engulf + MA aligned long)
Fat Bear (Engulf + MA aligned short)
Candles are marked via conditional barcolor to highlight strong, structured shifts in control.
Fat Finger Detection (Wick Spikes / Stop Runs)
Identifies abnormal wick extensions relative to the prior bar’s body range with configurable tolerance.
Supports detection of potential liquidity grabs, stop runs, or “excess” that may precede reversals or mean-reversion behavior.
Volume & Liquidity Intelligence
Bull Snort (Aggressive Buy Spikes)
Flags events where:
Volume is significantly above the 50-period average, and
Price closes in the upper portion of the bar and above prior close.
Plots a labeled marker below the bar to indicate aggressive upside initiative by buyers.
Pocket Pivots (Accumulation Flags)
Compares current volume vs prior 10 sessions with a filter on prior “up” days.
Highlights pocket pivot days where current green candle volume outclasses recent down-day volumes, suggesting stealth accumulation.
Delta Volume Core (Directional Volume by Price)
Internal volume-by-price style engine over a user-defined lookback.
Splits volume into up-close and down-close buckets across dynamic price bins.
Feeds into S&R and ICT zone logic to quantify where buying vs selling pressure built up.
Structural Context: S&R and ICT Zones
S&R Power Channel
Computes local high/low band over a configurable lookback window.
Renders:
Upper and lower S&R channel lines.
Shaded support / resistance zones using boxes.
Adds Buy Power / Sell Power metrics based on the ratio of up vs down bars inside the window, displayed directly in the zone overlays.
Drops ◈ markers where price interacts dynamically with the top or bottom band, highlighting reaction points.
ICT-Style Premium / Discount & Macro Zones
Two tiered structures:
Local Premium / Discount zones over a shorter SR window.
Macro Premium / Discount zones over a longer macro window.
Each zone:
Uses underlying directional volume to annotate accumulation vs distribution bias.
Provides Delta Volume Bias shading in the mid-band region, visually encoding whether local power flows are net-buying or net-selling.
Enables traders to quickly see whether current trade location is in a local/macro discount or premium context while still respecting volume profile.
Positioning Intelligence: PCD (Stocks)
Position Cost Distribution (PCD) – Stocks Only
Available for stock symbols on intraday up to daily timeframe (≤ 1D).
Uses:
TOTAL_SHARES_OUTSTANDING fundamentals,
Daily OHLCV snapshot, and
A bucketed distribution engine
to approximate cost basis distribution across price.
Outputs:
Horizontal “PCD bars” to the right of current price, density-scaled by estimated share concentration.
Color-coding by profitability relative to current price (profitable vs unprofitable positions).
Labels for:
Current price
Average cost
Profit ratio (share % below current price)
90% cost range
70% cost range
Range overlap as a measure of clustering / concentration.
Multi-Timeframe Trend: Two-Pole Gaussian Dashboard
Two-Pole Gaussian Filter (Line + Cloud)
Smooths a user-selected source (default: close) using a two-pole Gaussian filter with tunable alpha.
Plots:
A thin Gaussian trend line, and
A thick Gaussian “cloud” line with transparency, colored by slope vs past (offsetG).
Functions as a responsive trend backbone that is more sensitive than EMA 200 but less noisy than raw price.
Multi-Timeframe Gaussian Dashboard
Evaluates Gaussian trend direction across up to six timeframes (e.g., 1H / 2H / 4H / Daily / Weekly).
Renders a compact bottom-right table:
Header: symbol + overall bias arrow (up / down) based on average trend alignment.
Row of colored cells per timeframe (green for uptrend, magenta for downtrend) with human-readable TF labels (e.g., “60M”, “4H”, “1D”).
Gives an immediate read on whether intraday, swing, and higher-timeframe flows are aligned or fragmented.
Default Configuration & Usage Guidance
Default state after adding the script:
Enabled by default:
EMA 200 trend backbone
Nadaraya–Watson swing labels and curve
CCI bar coloring
RSI top/bottom arrows
Fat Bull / Fat Bear engine
Bull Snort & Pocket Pivots
S&R Power Channel
ICT Local + Macro zones
Two-pole Gaussian line + cloud + dashboard
PCD engine for stocks (auto-active where data is available)
Disabled by default (opt-in):
Custom MA suite (4x MAs, preset as EMA 8/8/89/89)
Hull MA overlay
How traders can use VB-MainLite in practice:
Use EMA 200 + Gaussian dashboard to define top-down directional bias and avoid trading directly against multi-TF trend.
Use Nadaraya swing labels, RSI exhaustion arrows, and CCI bar colors to time entries within that higher-timeframe bias.
Use Fat Bull / Fat Bear events as structured confirmation that both pattern and MA regime have flipped in the same direction.
Use Bull Snort, Pocket Pivots, and S&R / ICT zones to align execution with liquidity, volume, and location (premium vs discount).
On stocks, use PCD as a positioning map to understand trapped supply, support zones near crowded cost basis, and where profit-taking is likely.
Chop Meter + Trade Filter 1H/30M/15M (Ace PROFILE CLEAN v2)What this indicator does
Name: Chop Meter + Trade Filter 1H/30M/15M (Ace PROFILE CLEAN v2)
This is not an entry signal indicator. It’s a market condition filter:
It checks how compressed or expanded price is on
1H, 30M, and 15M.
It labels each TF as CHOP or NORMAL.
If 2 or more of those are in CHOP, it prints NO TRADE.
If 0 or 1 are in CHOP, it prints TRADE.
You use it to answer one question:
“Is this a session I should be pushing the button,
or is this a day to sit on my hands?”
How it works (simple version)
For each timeframe (1H, 30M, 15M), the script:
Looks back N bars (ATR length).
Measures:
ATR over N bars
Price range over N bars (highest high − lowest low)
Computes a compression value:
compression = ATR / range.
Then it compares that to the Threshold:
If compression > threshold → CHOP (market boxed / compressed)
If compression ≤ threshold → NORMAL (market expanded / trending)
Finally:
It counts how many TFs are CHOP.
If 2 or 3 TFs are CHOP → NO TRADE.
If 0 or 1 TFs are CHOP → TRADE.
Inputs / Profiles
At the top you see:
Profile
Overnight 4/0.40 – for Asia / London / overnight sessions
NYO 5/0.45 – for New York Open profile (default)
Custom – lets you type your own values
When Custom is selected, you can set:
ATR Length (Custom) – how many bars to use in the compression calc
Chop Threshold (ATR ÷ Range) (Custom) – where you cut between CHOP vs NORMAL
Higher threshold → more bars counted as NORMAL, less CHOP
Lower threshold → more bars counted as CHOP, fewer TRADE environments
For NYO, you normally keep:
Profile = NYO 5/0.45
(ATR over 5 bars, threshold 0.45)
What you see on the chart
A single line panel at the bottom-right, like:
1H: NORMAL | 30M: CHOP | 15M: NORMAL | TRADE | NYO 5/0.45
Meaning:
1H: NORMAL → the last 1H window is expanded enough (not boxed).
30M: CHOP → 30M is compressed (inside a tighter range).
15M: NORMAL → 15M has opened up.
TRADE → Only 1 TF is CHOP, so the majority says OK to trade.
NYO 5/0.45 → just a tag to remind which profile you’re using.
If instead you see:
1H: CHOP | 30M: CHOP | 15M: NORMAL | NO TRADE | NYO 5/0.45
That means:
1H and 30M are boxed
15M opened a bit, but 2 TFs are CHOP
Final verdict: NO TRADE environment
How to use it in your trading
1. As a gatekeeper before any entry model
No matter what entry you use (MSS + FVG, OB, purge setups, etc.):
If the panel says NO TRADE →
You do not open new positions.
You’re in “observe only” mode.
You can still study price, mark levels, and journal, but you’re not pressing the button.
If the panel says TRADE →
The environment is acceptable.
Now you can look for your entry model (e.g. MSS + FVG retest, SMT, OB, etc.).
Think of it as your first filter every session:
“Panel says NO TRADE? I don’t care how good the candle looks – I’m waiting.”
2. Reading each timeframe
1H: CHOP → Day is still boxed on the higher frame; big expansion hasn’t kicked in.
30M: CHOP → Classic 30M dealing range; many fake breaks and wicks likely.
15M: CHOP → Intraday still coiling; scalping environment at best.
When 2 or 3 say CHOP, expect:
Whipsaw
MSS both ways
Failed FVGs
News spikes that die in the box
Perfect time to protect your psychology and capital.
When 2 or 3 say NORMAL, expect:
Cleaner swings
Better follow-through after MSS / FVG
Easier to hold for targets
3. How it pairs with your MSS/FVG indicator
With your Chop + MSS/FVG Retest indicator:
Chop meter = environment filter
MSS/FVG indicator = entry trigger
Your process becomes:
Check chop meter:
If NO TRADE → hands off.
If TRADE → go to step 2.
On your chart, wait for:
Purge / SMT at the edges
MSS in the right direction
FVG + retest
Only take L/S when both:
Chop meter = TRADE, and
Entry model = L/S signal in the right area (premium/discount).
That way, you’re not just trading every L/S the MSS script spits out—you’re trading L/S only when the higher-timeframe environment is worth it.
Total Returns indicator by PtahXPtahX Total Returns – True Total-Return View for Any Symbol
Most charts only show price. This script shows what your position actually did once you include dividends and, optionally, inflation.
What this indicator does
1. Builds a Total Return series
You choose how dividends are treated:
* Reinvest (default): All gross dividends are automatically reinvested into more shares on the ex-dividend bar.
* Cash: Dividends are kept as cash added on top of your initial position.
* Ignore: Price only, like a regular chart.
This answers: “If I bought once at the start and held, how much would that position be worth now, given this dividend policy?”
2. Optional inflation-adjusted (real) returns
You can also plot a real total-return line, which adjusts for inflation using a CPI series.
This answers: “How did my purchasing power change after inflation?”
3. Stats window and exponential trendline
You can pick the time window:
* Since inception (full available history)
* YTD
* Last 1 Year
* Last 5 Years
* Custom start date
For that window, the script:
* Normalizes Total Return to 1.0 at the window start.
* Fits an exponential trendline (pink) to the normalized series.
* Displays a stats table in the bottom-right showing:
• Overall Return (%) over the selected range
• CAGR (compound annual growth rate, % per year)
• Trendline growth (% per year)
• R² of the trendline (fit quality)
• A separate “Since inception” block (overall return and CAGR from the first bar on the chart)
How to use it
1. Add the indicator to your chart.
2. Open the settings:
Total Return & Dividends
* Dividend mode
• Reinvest: closest to a true total-return curve (default).
• Cash: price plus cash dividends.
• Ignore: price only.
* Plot inflation-adjusted TR line
• Turn this on if you want to see a real (CPI-adjusted) total-return line.
Inflation / Real Returns
* Inflation country code and field code
• Leave defaults if you just want a standard CPI series.
* Use real TR for stats & trendline
• On: stats and trendline use the inflation-adjusted curve.
• Off: stats use the nominal (non-adjusted) total return.
Stats Range & Trendline
* Stats range: Since inception, YTD, 1 Year, 5 Years, or Custom date.
* Custom date: set year, month, and day if you choose “Custom date”.
* Plot TR exponential trendline: show or hide the pink curve.
* Show stats table / Show Overall Return / Show Trendline stats: toggle what appears in the table.
3. Zoom and change timeframe as usual. The stats range is based on calendar time (YTD, 1Y, 5Y, etc.), not bar count, so the numbers stay meaningful as you change resolutions.
How to read the outputs
* Teal line: Nominal Total Return (using your chosen dividend mode).
* Orange line (if enabled): Real (inflation-adjusted) Total Return.
* Pink line (if enabled): Exponential trendline for the selected stats window.
On the right edge, small labels show the latest value of each active line.
In the bottom-right stats table:
* Overall Return: total percentage gain or loss over the chosen stats range.
* CAGR: the smoothed annual rate that would turn 1.0 into the current value over that range.
* Exponential Trendline: the average trendline growth per year and the R².
• R² near 1 means prices follow a clean exponential path.
• Lower R² means more noise or sideways movement around the trend.
* Range: which window those stats apply to (YTD, 1Y, 5Y, etc.).
* Since inception: overall return and CAGR from the first bar on the chart up to the latest bar, independent of the current stats range.
Use this when you want to compare true performance, not just price – especially for dividend-heavy ETFs, funds, and income strategies.
Match Finder [theUltimator5]Match Finder is the dating app of indicators. It takes your current ticker and finds the most compatible match over a recent time period. The match may not be Mr. right, but it is Mr. right now. It doesn't forecast future connection, but it tells you current compatibility for today.
Jokes aside, it is a pattern–comparison tool that was designed to find the ticker that tracks most closely to the one you are currently looking at. It scans a user-defined list of 40 tickers (pre-set to a bunch of liquid ETFs) and finds which one most closely matches the recent price action of the current chart over a fixed lookback window.
LOGIC BEHIND THE SCENES
For each bar, the script:
Takes the last N bars (Correlation Window Length) of the current symbol.
Takes the last N bars of each selected comparison ticker.
Calculates the Pearson correlation between the current symbol and each comparison ticker.
Identifies the single best-matching ticker (highest positive correlation, excluding the current symbol itself).
Rescales and overlays that matched segment on the chart so you can visually compare shapes.
Optionally shows a correlation table with all tickers and their correlation values.
The use case of this indicator is to help you see which symbol has recently moved most similarly to your current chart, and how that shape looks when overlaid in the same panel. It helps you see which sectors it may be following most closely to.
Here is an image with arrows showing the elements of this indicator that will be mostly explained later.
USER INPUTS
1. Correlation Window Length
Default: 30
Range: 10–500
This is the number of bars used to compare the current symbol against each ticker.
Important - Larger values produce more “global” shape comparison but increase computational load and may cause the indicator to timeout if the length is too long
2. Drawing Mode
Options:
Scale Only - Adjusts min and max of the plotted line segment to match the chart over the range
Scale & Rotate - Scales as above, but matches the first and last point to the close of the chart over the range. This effectively rotates the pattern to force it to track the chart to an extent.
3. Show Correlation Table
When enabled (disabled by default), shows a table in the bottom-right of the chart that displays the correlation values over the lookback range for all 40 tickers. The best fit ticker is highlighted.
4. Best Fit Line Color
Color used to draw the overlaid best-match segment (yellow by default).
5. Ticker inputs (1–40)
Default set to a broad universe of major ETFs (e.g., SPY, QQQ, IWM, sector and bond ETFs, commodities, etc.).
You can replace these with any symbols supported by your data feed (stocks, ETFs, indexes, etc.).
The script always excludes the current chart’s symbol from being considered as its own best match.
