- ADX starts rising (direction appears)
- Price respects support/resistance again
- Usually 1-5 days
---
## CONFLUENCE SYSTEM
### How It Works
The system scores each potential entry on 5 factors. More factors aligning = higher probability.
### Confluence Requirements by Regime
**Trending Regimes** (strictest):
- Minimum 2/5 required
- 3/5 = Good
- 4-5/5 = Excellent
**Ranging Regimes** (moderate):
- Minimum 1-2/5 required
- 2/5 = Good
- 3+/5 = Excellent
**Consolidation** (breakout only):
- Volume is most critical
- Direction confirmation
- Less confluence needed
### Adjusting Minimum Confluence
**If too few signals:**
- Lower from 2 to 1
- More trades, lower quality
**If too many false signals:**
- Raise from 2 to 3
- Fewer trades, higher quality
**Recommendation:**
- Start at 2
- Adjust based on win rate
- Aim for 55-65% win rate

## COMMON QUESTIONS
**Q: How many trades per month should I expect?**
A: Depends on timeframe and settings. Daily chart: 5-15 trades/month. 4H chart: 15-30 trades/month.
**Q: What's a good win rate?**
A: 55-65% is excellent. 50-55% is good. Below 50% needs adjustment.
**Q: Should I trade all regimes?**
A: Beginners: Only trending. Intermediate: Trending + ranging. Advanced: All except chaos.
**Q: Can I use this on any timeframe?**
A: Best on Daily and 4H. Works on 1H with more noise. Not recommended <1H.
**Q: What if I'm in a trade and regime changes?**
A: Exit immediately (if using indicator) or let strategy handle it automatically.
**Q: How do I know if I'm over-optimizing?**
A: If results are perfect on one period but fail on another. Use walk-forward testing.
**Q: Should I always take 5/5 confluence trades?**
A: Yes, but they're rare (1-2/month). Don't wait only for these.
**Q: Can I combine this with other indicators?**
A: Yes, but keep it simple. RSI, MACD already included. Maybe add volume profile.
**Q: What assets work best?**
A: Liquid stocks, major crypto, futures. Avoid forex spot (use futures), penny stocks.
**Q: How long to hold positions?**
A: Trending: Days to weeks. Ranging: Hours to days. Breakout: Days. Let the regime guide you.

Volatility High/Low Projection (PHOD / PLOD)AP Capital – Volatility + High/Low Projection
This indicator is designed to identify high-probability intraday turning points by combining daily range statistics, session behaviour, and volatility context into a single clean framework.
It is built for index, forex, and metals traders who want structure, not noise.
🔹 Core Features
1️⃣ Potential High of Day (PHOD) & Potential Low of Day (PLOD)
The indicator highlights likely intraday extremes based on:
Session timing (Asia, London, New York)
Current day volatility vs historical averages
Prior day expansion or compression behaviour
Each level is displayed with:
A clear label (PHOD / PLOD)
A forward-extending box acting as a live Point of Interest (POI)
Automatic invalidation when price breaks the zone
2️⃣ Volatility & Range Context (Info Panel)
A compact information panel in the top-right corner provides real-time context without cluttering the chart:
20-Day Average Range
% of the average range already used today
Range status (NORMAL / EXHAUSTED)
Average session ranges for:
Asia
London
New York
This allows traders to immediately assess whether price is:
Early in the day with room to trend
Statistically stretched and prone to reversal
Over-extended where breakout chasing is risky
3️⃣ Session-Aware Logic
The model respects how markets behave across the trading day:
Asia favours accumulation and potential lows
London provides expansion
New York often delivers distribution or exhaustion
This prevents random high/low marking and focuses only on structurally meaningful levels.
🧠 How to Use
Use PHOD / PLOD boxes as reaction zones, not blind entries
Combine with your own confirmation (structure break, momentum, volume, EMA reclaim, etc.)
Avoid chasing trades when the Range Status = EXHAUSTED
Particularly effective on 15m – 1h timeframes
⚠️ Important Notes
This indicator does not repaint
It is contextual, not a buy/sell signal generator
Best used as part of a complete trading plan
📈 Suitable Markets
XAUUSD (Gold)
Indices (NASDAQ, S&P 500, DAX)
Major FX pairs

AlgoZ Smart Divergence [Trend Filtered]AlgoZ Smart Divergence is a precision entry tool designed to catch market reversals by analyzing Volume Divergence combined with Multi-Timeframe Trend Filtering. Unlike standard divergence indicators that signal on every minor price fluctuation, this script uses a strict set of filters to only present high-probability trade setups that align with the broader market trend.
This is the Free Edition of the AlgoZ Suite, focused on providing clean, non-repainting Buy and Sell signals based on institutional volume flow.
How It Works The script operates on a 3-step validation process:
Volume Divergence:
It detects anomalies where volume spikes relative to price action (e.g., Price makes a Lower Low, but Volume hits a Higher High).
HTF Trend Painting:
It analyzes a Higher Timeframe (Default: 3 Hours) to determine the macro trend. If the 3H trend is Bullish, the candles turn Green. If Bearish, they turn Red.
Color Match Filtering:
The script includes a smart filter that blocks signals that go against the trend. You will only see BUY signals when the candles are Green (Uptrend) and SELL signals when the candles are Red (Downtrend).
Key Features
Volume Divergence Engine:
Identifies hidden accumulation and distribution zones.
HTF Trend Coloring:
Automatically paints your chart based on Higher Timeframe breakouts (Default: 3-Hour Trend).
Smart Signal Filtering:
Toggles are available to "Only Show Signals Matching Candle Color," ensuring you never trade against the momentum.
EMA Trend Filter:
Includes a built-in 10-period EMA filter to further refine entries.
Volatility Filters:
Optional RSI and ADX filters are included to avoid trading during low-volatility "chop."
How to Use
For Longs (Buys):
Wait for the candles to turn Green (indicating the 3-Hour trend is up) and look for a BUY label. The price must also be above the 10 EMA (if enabled).
For Shorts (Sells):
Wait for the candles to turn Red (indicating the 3-Hour trend is down) and look for a SELL label.
Risk Management:
This script is designed to catch reversals. Always place your Stop Loss below the recent swing low (for buys) or above the swing high (for sells).
Settings
Higher Timeframe:
Default is set to 3 Hours (180 minutes). You can adjust this to 1 Day or 4 Hours depending on your trading style.
EMA Length:
Default is 10.
Color Match Filter:
On by default.
VCAI RSI Divergence +VCAI RSI Divergence+ is an RSI that shows trend, momentum, and divergence using V-CoresAI colour logic instead of a single white line.
What it shows:
Yellow RSI line → bullish momentum (RSI above its MA; buy-side pressure in control)
Purple RSI line → bearish momentum (RSI below its MA; sell-side pressure in control)
Thin blue line → fast RSI moving average that drives the colour flips
Dashed 70/30 lines → classic OB/OS zones
Background bands → soft purple in OB, soft yellow in OS to mark exhaustion areas
How to read it:
Yellow & rising → momentum shifting bullish; pullbacks into yellow OS band can be accumulation zones
Purple & falling → momentum shifting bearish; pushes into purple OB band can be distribution/sell zones
Hard colour flips (yellow ↔ purple) mark trend regime changes, not minor RSI noise
Divergence mode (on/off)
The divergence engine scans RSI and price pivot structure:
Bullish divergence (yellow) → price lower low + RSI higher low
Bearish divergence (purple) → price higher high + RSI lower high
Lines and tags appear only where a meaningful disagreement between price and RSI exists, giving early context for potential reversals or fade setups.
Together, the momentum colours + optional divergence mapping give a far clearer market read than a standard RSI, with zero clutter and no guesswork.
Fair Value Gap Signals [Kodexius]Fair Value Gap Signals is an advanced market structure tool that automatically detects and tracks Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), evaluates the quality of each gap, and highlights high value reaction zones with visual metrics and signal markers.
The script is designed for traders who focus on liquidity concepts, order flow and mean reversion. It goes beyond basic FVG plotting by continuously monitoring how price interacts with each gap and by quantifying three key aspects of each zone:
-Entry velocity inside the gap
-Volume absorption during tests
-Structural integrity and depth of penetration
The result is a dynamic, information rich visualization of which gaps are being respected, which are being absorbed, and where potential reversals or continuations are most likely to occur.
All visual elements are configurable, including the maximum number of visible gaps per direction, mitigation method (close or wick) and an ATR based filter to ignore insignificant gaps in low volatility environments.
🔹 Features
🔸 Automated Fair Value Gap Detection
The script detects both bullish and bearish FVGs based on classic three candle logic:
Bullish FVG: current low is strictly above the high from two bars ago
Bearish FVG: current high is strictly below the low from two bars ago
🔸 ATR Based Gap Filter
To avoid clutter and low quality signals, the script can ignore very small gaps using an ATR based filter.
🔸Per Gap State Machine and Lifecycle
Each gap is tracked with an internal status:
Fresh: gap has just formed and has not been tested
Testing: price is currently trading inside the gap
Tested: gap was tested and left, waiting for a potential new test
Rejected: price entered the gap and then rejected away from it
Filled: gap is considered fully mitigated and no longer active
This state machine allows the script to distinguish between simple touches, multiple tests and meaningful reversals, and to trigger different alerts accordingly.
🔸 Visual Ranking of Gaps by Metrics
For each active gap, three additional horizontal rank bars are drawn on top of the gap area:
Rank 1 (Vel): maximum entry velocity inside the gap
Rank 2 (Vol): relative test volume compared to average volume
Rank 3 (Dpt): remaining safety of the gap based on maximum penetration depth
These rank bars extend horizontally from the creation bar, and their length is a visual score between 0 and 1, scaled to the age of the gap. Longer bars represent stronger or more favorable conditions.
🔸Signals and Rejection Markers
When a gap shows signs of rejection (price enters the gap and then closes away from it with sufficient activity), the script can print a signal label at the reaction point. These markers summarize the internal metrics of the gap using a tooltip:
-Velocity percentage
-Volume percentage
-Safety score
-Number of tests
🔸 Flexible Mitigation Logic (Close or Wick)
You can choose how mitigation is defined via the Mitigation Method input:
Close: the gap is considered filled only when the closing price crosses the gap boundary
Wick: a full fill is detected as soon as any wick crosses the gap boundary
🔸 Alert Conditions
-New FVG formed
-Price entering a gap (testing)
-Gap fully filled and invalidated
-Rejection signal generated
🔹Calculations
This section summarizes the main calculations used under the hood. Only the core logic is covered.
1. ATR Filter and Gap Size
The script uses a configurable ATR length to filter out small gaps. First the ATR is computed:
float atrVal = ta.atr(atrLength)
Gap size for both directions is then measured:
float gapSizeBull = low - high
float gapSizeBear = low - high
If useAtrFilter is enabled, gaps smaller than atrVal are ignored. This ties the minimum gap size to the current volatility regime.
2. Fair Value Gap Detection
The basic FVG conditions use a three bar structure:
bool fvgBull = low > high
bool fvgBear = high < low
For bullish gaps the script stores:
-top as low of the current bar
-bottom as high
For bearish gaps:
-top as high of the current bar
-bottom as low
This defines the price range that is considered the imbalance area.
3. Depth and Safety Score
Depth measures how far price has penetrated into the gap since its creation. For each bar, the script computes a currentDepth and updates the maximum depth:
float currentDepth = 0.0
if g.isBullish
if l < g.top
currentDepth := g.top - l
else
if h > g.bottom
currentDepth := h - g.bottom
if currentDepth > g.maxDepth
g.maxDepth := currentDepth
The safety score expresses how much of the gap remains intact:
float depthRatio = g.maxDepth / gapSize
float safetyScore = math.max(0.0, 1.0 - depthRatio)
safetyScore near 1: gap is mostly untouched
safetyScore near 0: gap is mostly or fully filled
4. Velocity Metric
Velocity captures how aggressively price moves inside the gap. It is based on the body to range ratio of each bar that trades within the gap and rewards bars that move in the same direction as the gap:
float barRange = h - l
float bodyRatio = math.abs(close - open) / barRange
float directionBonus = 0.0
if g.isBullish and close > open
directionBonus := 0.2
else if not g.isBullish and close < open
directionBonus := 0.2
float currentVelocity = math.min(bodyRatio + directionBonus, 1.0)
The gap keeps track of the strongest observed value:
if currentVelocity > g.maxVelocity
g.maxVelocity := currentVelocity
This maximum is later used as velScore when building the velocity rank bar.
5. Volume Accumulation and Volume Score
While price is trading inside a gap, the script accumulates the traded volume:
if isInside
g.testVolume += volume
It also keeps track of the number of tests and the volume at the start of the first test:
if g.status == "Fresh"
g.status := "Testing"
g.testCount := 1
g.testStartVolume := volume
An average volume is computed using a 20 period SMA:
float volAvg = ta.sma(volume, 20)
The expected volume is approximated as:
float expectedVol = volAvg * math.max(1, (bar_index - g.index) / 2)
The volume score is then:
float volScore = math.min(g.testVolume / expectedVol, 1.0)
This produces a normalized 0 to 1 metric that shows whether the gap has attracted more or less volume than expected over its lifetime.
6. Rank Bar Scaling
All three scores are projected visually along the time axis as horizontal bars. The script uses the age of the gap in bars as the maximum width:
float maxWidth = math.max(bar_index - g.index, 1)
Then each metric is mapped to a bar length:
int len1 = int(math.max(1, maxWidth * velScore))
g.rankBox1.set_right(g.index + len1)
int len2 = int(math.max(1, maxWidth * volScore))
g.rankBox2.set_right(g.index + len2)
int len3 = int(math.max(1, maxWidth * safetyScore))
g.rankBox3.set_right(g.index + len3)
This creates an intuitive visual representation where stronger metrics produce longer rank bars, making it easy to quickly compare the relative quality of multiple FVGs on the chart.
Advanced Breakout System v2.0Advanced Breakout System v2.0
Developed by: Mohammed Bedaiwi
This script hunts for high-probability breakouts by combining price consolidation zones, volume spikes vs. average volume, smart money flow (OBV), and a Momentum Override for explosive moves that skip consolidation. Additionally, it automatically identifies and plots Support and Resistance levels with price labels to help you visualize market structure.
The system follows a "Watch & Confirm" logic: it first prints a WATCH setup, then a BUY only if price confirms strength.
💡 JUSTIFICATION OF CONCEPTS (MASHUP & ORIGINALITY)
This script is an original mashup combining several analytical concepts to address common breakout failures:
Volatility Compression Engine: Uses built-in functions like ta.highest() and ta.lowest() to mathematically define the setup phase where price volatility is compressed below a user-defined threshold.
Volume Spike Confirmation: The breakout must be confirmed by a volume increase greater than a moving average of volume, signaling strong market interest.
Smart Volume Filter (OBV): This is the key component. By checking if ta.obv is above its own Moving Average, we confirm that accumulation has been occurring during the consolidation period, suggesting institutional positioning before the price break.
Multi-Exit Risk System: Employs dynamic exits (EMA cross, volume dump, bearish pattern) instead of static stop-losses to manage risk adaptively based on real-time market action.
Market Structure Visualization: The script also includes a Support & Resistance engine to plot key swing pivots and price labels for visual context.
✅ STRATEGY RESULTS & POLICY COMPLIANCE
To ensure non-misleading and transparent backtesting results, this strategy is published with the following fully compliant properties:
Dataset Compliance: The backtest is performed on the CMTL Daily (1D) chart across a long history, generating 201 total trades. This significantly exceeds the minimum requirement of 100 trades, providing a robust test dataset.
Risk Control: The strategy uses a conservative order size set to 2% of equity (default_qty_value=2), strictly adhering to the sustainable risk recommendation of 5-10% of equity per trade.
Transaction Costs: Realistic trading conditions are modeled using 0.07% commission and 3 ticks slippage to prevent the overestimation of profitability.
⚙️ VISUAL GUIDE & SIGNAL LOGIC
Key Color Legend (Visual Guide):
WATCH – Setup (Yellow Arrow Down): Potential breakout setup detected.
BUY – Confirmation (Green Arrow Up): Confirmed breakout, triggered when price trades above the high of the WATCH candle.
SELL – Break (Orange Arrow): Short-term trend weakness, triggered when price closes below the Fast EMA (9).
SELL – Dump (Dark Red Arrow): Distribution / volume dump, triggered by a bearish candle with abnormally high volume.
SELL – Pattern (Purple Arrow): Bearish price-action pattern (such as a bearish engulfing).
Support & Resistance Lines (Red/Green): Small horizontal lines plotted at key swing points with exact price labels.
⌨️ INPUTS (DEFAULT SETTINGS)
Entry settings: Consolidation Lookback (default 20) = bars used to detect consolidation. Consolidation Range % (default 12%) = max allowed range size. Volume Spike Multiplier (default 1.2) = factor above average volume to count as a spike. Force Signal on Big Moves (default ON) = forces a WATCH signal on high-momentum moves.
Exit settings: Enable Fast Exit (EMA 9) toggles the SELL – Break signal. Dump Volume Multiplier defines what counts as “dump” volume.
Support & Resistance: Adjustable Pivot Left/Right bars control the sensitivity of the support and resistance lines.
⚠️ Disclaimer Trading involves significant risk of loss. This script is for educational and informational purposes only and is not financial advice or a recommendation to buy or sell any asset. BUY and SELL signals are rule-based and derived from historical behavior and do not guarantee future performance. Always use your own analysis and risk management. This is an open-source strategy; users are encouraged to test it across different symbols and timeframes.
VWAP + EMA9 With SignalsThis script is for scalping on the 5 minute timeframe. It contains signals that indicate intersection of VWAP by the EMA9. It contains Buy signals when a candle closes above both lines indicating a quick continuation of a long position (quick scalp) as well as Sell signals when a candle closes below both lines indicating a quick continuation of a short position (quick scalp). Please note that i do not recommend entries at Buy and Sell signals during Accumulation/Consolidation. Positions should be taken with volume.
PRICE ACTION TRAKKERThis indicator isolates the core price-phase engine from the full Price Action Tracker (PAT) system.
It identifies and visualises structural phases of price, including:
Upper phase boundary (dynamic resistance)
Lower phase boundary (dynamic support)
Phase average (mean-reversion anchor)
Pivot markers (LPH, LPL, oLPH, oLPL)
The phase engine dynamically adapts to evolving market structure using pivot behaviour and structural breaks. This creates a real-time visual map of how price is organising itself — independent of time-based indicators and without the lag associated with classical moving averages.
This version focuses exclusively on price action structure, making it clean, fast, and ideal as a core tool on its own.
However, it is also designed as a foundation for more advanced analysis and will expand over time as additional modules are released.
This phase engine works exceptionally well in combination with my other indicators, such as moving-average structure tools, volume-weighted frameworks, and trend-strength models. Together, they provide a layered view of market behaviour:
phase structure → trend bias → volume confirmation → entry logic.
This makes the indicator valuable for:
Intra-day and swing traders
Wyckoff and liquidity-based traders
Mean-reversion and range-trading strategies
Understanding where accumulation/distribution behaviour is forming
Identifying when a phase is likely ending or breaking
Future updates will add modular expansion paths (trend scoring, VWAP phase weighting, multi-phase confluence, and signal logic), while maintaining the simplicity and reliability of this core engine.
Works Best With:
This indicator is part of a broader toolkit designed to analyse structure, trend, and behaviour.
When used alongside my other published tools — such as trend-strength MAs, VWMA frameworks, and higher-timeframe bias indicators — it provides a complete, multi-layered view of market conditions.

Vassago & Tesla Ex-Machina 197 45 21 [Hakan Yorganci]Vassago & Tesla Ex-Machina 197 45 21
"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." — Arthur C. Clarke
🌑 The Genesis: Algorithmic Esotericism
This script is not merely a technical indicator; it is a digital artifact born from the convergence of Software Engineering and Hermetic Tradition.
As a developer and researcher dedicated to "Technomancy"—the study of applying esoteric logic to computational systems—I designed this algorithm using a custom, experimental programming environment I am currently developing. My goal was to move beyond standard, arbitrary financial inputs (like the default 200 SMA or 14 RSI) and instead derive parameters based on Universal Harmonics and Historical Archetypes.
This indicator, Ex-Machina, is the result of that transmutation. It applies ancient numeric precision to modern market chaos.
🔢 Decoding the Protocol: 197 - 45 - 21
Why these specific numbers? They were not chosen randomly; they were calculated through specific harmonic reductions to filter out market noise.
1. The Harmonic Trend (Tesla Protocol)
* The Logic: Standard analysis uses the 200-period Moving Average simply out of habit. However, applying Nikola Tesla’s 3-6-9 vibrational principles, the engine reduced the period to 197.
* The Numerology: 1+9+7 = 17 \rightarrow 1+7 = \mathbf{8}. In esoteric numerology, 8 represents infinite power, authority, and financial flow. This creates a baseline that aligns more organically with market accumulation than the static 200.
2. The Hidden Dip (Solomonic Sight)
* The Archetype: Based on the attributes of Vassago, the archetype of discovering "hidden things," the algorithm identified 45 as the precise threshold for a "Sniper Entry."
* The Function: Unlike the standard 30 RSI, this level identifies the exact moment a correction matures within a bullish trend—catching the dip before the crowd returns.
3. The Prophetic Vision
* The Logic: Using the Fibonacci Sequence, the indicator projects the support line 21 bars into the future.
* The Utility: This allows you to visualize where the support will be, granting you foresight before price action arrives.
⚖️ The Dual Mode Engine: Sealed vs. Living
Respecting the user's will, I have engineered this script as a Hybrid System. You can choose how the "spirit" of the code interacts with the market via the settings menu.
1. The Sealed Ritual (Default - Unchecked)
* Philosophy: "Trust in the Constants."
* Behavior: Strictly adheres to the 197 SMA and 45 RSI.
* Visual: Displays a Blue Trend Line.
* Best For: Traders who value stability, long-term trends, and the unyielding nature of harmonic mathematics.
2. The Living Spirit (Adaptive Mode - Checked)
* Philosophy: "As the market breathes, so does the code."
* Behavior:
* Transmutation: The trend line shifts from a Simple Moving Average (SMA) to an Exponential Moving Average (EMA 197) for faster reaction.
* Adaptive Volatility: The RSI entry level (45) becomes dynamic. It expands and contracts based on ATR (Average True Range). In high volatility, it demands a deeper dip to trigger a signal, protecting you from fake-outs.
* Visual: Displays a Fuchsia (Pink) Trend Line.
* Best For: Volatile markets (Crypto/Forex) and traders who want the algorithm to "sense" the fear and greed in the air.
⚙️ How to Trade
* Timeframe: Optimized for 4H (The Builder) and 1D (The Architect).
* The Signal: Wait for the "EX-MACHINA ENTRY" label. This signal manifests ONLY when:
* Price is holding above the 197 Harmonic Trend.
* Momentum crosses the Optimized Threshold (45 or Adaptive).
* Trend Strength is confirmed via ADX.
Author's Note:
I built this tool for those who understand that code is the modern spellbook. Use it wisely, risk responsibly, and let the harmonics guide your entries.

Volume profilerMulti-Range Volume Analysis & Absorption Detection
This tool visualises market activity through multi-range volume profiling and absorption signal detection. It helps you quickly identify where volume expands, compresses, or diverges from expected behaviour.
What it does
Volume Profiler plots four volume EMAs (short / mid / long / longer) so you can gauge how current volume compares to different market regimes.
It also highlights structural volume extremes:
• Low-volume bars (liquidity withdrawal)
These are potential signs of exhaustion, pauses, or low liquidity environments.
• High-volume + Low-range absorption
A classic footprint-style signal where aggressive volume fails to move price.
Often seen during:
absorption of one side of the book
liquidity collection
failed breakouts
institutional accumulation/distribution
You can choose:
which EMA defines “high volume”
how to measure candle range (High-Low, True Range, or Body)
how to define baseline volatility (ATR or average range)
Alerts are included so you can monitor absorption automatically.
Features
Multi-range volume EMAs (10 / 50 / 100 / 300 by default)
Low-volume bar flags
Absorption detection based on custom thresholds
Customisable volatility baseline
Optional bar colouring
Labels displayed directly in the volume pane
Alert conditions for absorption events
How to use
This indicator is valuable for:
confirming trend strength or weakness
detecting absorption before reversal or breakout continuation
finding low-liquidity pauses
identifying volume expansion across different time horizons
footprint-style behavioural confirmation without needing order-flow data
Works across all markets and timeframes.
Notes
This script is intended for educational and analytical use.
It does not repaint.
ICT Quant-Core: Liquidity Intelligence [Dual-Engine]🔥 THE ULTIMATE LIQUIDITY FILTERING ENGINE
Most SMC traders lose money because they "catch falling knives" on every local wick. This algorithm solves this problem by using DUAL-CORE logic and a signal quality scoring system.
This is no ordinary pivot indicator.
⚙️ HOW DOES IT WORK? (DUAL-CORE LOGIC)
The algorithm analyzes the market on two levels simultaneously:
1️⃣ MACRO CORE (Lookback 50 - "WHALE 🐋")
Tracks key levels from recent weeks/months.
This is where institutions build their positions.
Signals from this core have the highest priority (Score 10/10).
2️⃣ LOCAL CORE (Lookback 20 - "ROACH 🐟")
Tracks internal market structure and noise.
Signals are filtered by the Main Trend. If the trend is down, Local Longs are marked as "TRAP."
🧠 SMART FILTERS (QUANT LAYERS)
Instead of entering on every line touch, the script requires confirmation:
✅ RECLAIM LOGIC: Price must close back above/below the liquidity level (Swing Failure Pattern).
✅ RVOL FILTER: Requires relative volume > 1.2x the average (institutional track).
✅ SCORING SYSTEM (0-10): Each signal receives a score.
- 10/10: Macro Grab in line with the trend + high volume.
- 3/10: Local Grab against the trend (risky).
📊 ANALYTICAL DASHBOARD
In the lower right corner, you'll find the "Command Center":
- Trend Status (Distribution/Accumulation)
- Whale's Last Move (Price and Direction)
- Current Tactics (e.g., "Ignore Longs, Search for Shorts")
- Filter Status (RSI, Volume, Reclaim)
🚀 HOW TO USE IT?
1. Set the H4 timeframe.
2. Wait for a signal with a rating > 7/10.
3. Ignore "Fish/Local" signals (small icons) if they contradict the Dashboard color.
4. Entry occurs only after the candle closes (Reclaim).
🟡 GOLD 4H HUD v8.9 — Loose ICT OB + Strong/Weak + FVG/HVN/LVNGOLD 4H HUD v8.9 is a clean, structured Smart Money Concepts (SMC)–based analysis tool designed exclusively for XAUUSD on the 4-hour timeframe.
It focuses on the three most important elements for institutional orderflow analysis:
✔ Loose ICT Order Blocks (Demand/Supply)
✔ Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
✔ Volume Profile Zones (HVN/LVN/POC)
The script builds a professional-style HUD that displays the key institutional regions and structural levels that matter most for gold traders.
📌 Key Features
1 — Market Structure Engine (HH/HL & BOS)
The indicator detects:
Minor swing Highs and Lows
Last confirmed HH / HL levels
Break of Structure (BOS) for directional bias
EMA-200 trend filter (UP / DOWN / NEUTRAL)
This gives traders a clean structural read without clutter or noise.
2 — Loose FVG Engine (Tolerance-Based ICT Gaps)
A soft-threshold FVG engine detects “loose” Fair Value Gaps using a 0.1% price tolerance.
This method ensures:
Fewer missed imbalances
Cleaner OB/FVG alignment
Higher accuracy on 4H gold displacement legs
FVGs automatically shift to the right side of the chart for clean visualization.
3 — Order Block Engine (Demand/Supply + Strong/Weak Classification)
A simplified ICT-style OB engine scans the past few candles whenever BOS is detected.
It identifies:
Demand OB during bullish BOS
Supply OB during bearish BOS
Strong OB if fully nested inside an active FVG
Weak OB otherwise
OB boxes include:
Clear color coding (strong vs. weak)
Price range labels inside each box
Automatic right-shift for visual clarity
4 — Volume Profile Engine (POC / HVN / LVN / VAH / VAL)
Based on a rolling window (default 120 bars), the script builds a lightweight volume distribution.
It displays:
POC (Point of Control)
HVN (High Volume Node)
LVN (Low Volume Node)
Value Area High / Low
HVN/LVN zones are shown as right-shifted colored boxes with price labels.
These zones help identify:
Institutional accumulation
Low-liquidity rejection points
Areas where price tends to react strongly
5 — Support / Resistance Mapping
The script automatically generates:
OB-based support/resistance
Swing-high/swing-low levels
HVN/LVN structural levels
These are displayed in the HUD for fast reference.
6 — Professional HUD Panel
A compact, easy-to-read HUD summarizes:
Trend direction
Latest HH/HL
OB ranges (Strong/Weak)
HVN/LVN price zones
POC
Multi-layer support & resistance
This turns the script into a fully functional analysis dashboard.
📌 What This Indicator Is NOT
To avoid misunderstanding:
It does not take entries or generate buy/sell signals
It does not auto-detect CHOCH, MSS, SMT, or sweeps
It is not a trading bot
This tool is designed as an institutional-style map and analysis HUD, not a strategy.
📌 Best Use Case
This indicator is ideal for traders who want to:
Read institutional structure on XAUUSD
Identify clean Demand/Supply zones
Visualize FVG/OB/HVN interactions
Track high-value liquidity levels
Build directional bias on 4H before dropping to execution timeframes
⚠ Important Note
This tool is designed exclusively for the 4H timeframe.
Using it on lower timeframes will display a warning.
Inyerneck Quiet Bottom Hunter v36 — Last Sorta-Working VersionQuiet Bottom Hunter v36 — Accurate Description (the sorta-working version that fires signals)
Overview
A mean-reversion bottom-hunting strategy for small-cap stocks (<$2B market cap). Designed to catch slow-bleed stocks that quietly bottom out and rebound 20–60%+. Good for beginners because signals are infrequent and the setup is easy to understand.
Timeframe
Daily (D) — best results on 1-day charts. Works on weekly too, but signals are rarer.
Triggers / Conditions (all must be true at bar close)
Drop from high ≥ 25% from the highest high in the last 100 bars (previous bars only — no repainting)
Volume ≤ 80% of the 50-day average (quiet accumulation, no panic selling left)
RSI(14) ≤ 38 (oversold territory)
Green/flat streak ≥ 2 consecutive days where close ≥ open (shows sellers are exhausted)
When all four line up → tiny green “QB” triangle below the bar
Firing Frequency
1–4 signals per month on an average small-cap stock (depends on market conditions). Some months zero, some months a handful. Not spammy, but not ultra-rare either.
Usage Parameters
Position size: 10% of equity per trade (default — change to 5–20% depending on risk tolerance)
Profit target: 40%
Stop loss: 12%
Hold time: usually 2–8 weeks
Best on low-float, high-volatility small caps (TLRY, SNDL, MVIS, SOUN, INHD, etc.)
Expected Performance (backtested on 2025 small caps)
Win rate: ~80–85%
Average rebound on winners: +30–40%
Some losers when the bottom isn't "quiet" enough
How to use
Add to daily charts of your small-cap watchlist
When “QB” arrow appears, buy at next open or market
Set 40% target / 12% stop or trail it
Wait for the rebound — no day-trading needed
For Vietnamese: 3D Volume Weighted Liquidity LevelIntroduction
The 3D Volume Weighted Liquidity Level indicator visualizes market structure by identifying key support and resistance zones based on Pivot Highs and Lows. Unlike standard support/resistance lines, this tool adds a "3D" dimension by calculating the depth of the zone based on Accumulated Volume and Volatility (ATR). This helps traders visualize the "weighted" or significance of a specific price level.
Key Features
- 3D Visualization: Draws geometric boxes connecting similar Pivot points to create clear structural zones.
- Volume & Volatility Depth: The height (depth) of the box is not random. It is calculated dynamically using the accumulated volume between pivots multiplied by the ATR. Thicker boxes imply higher volume accumulation and volatility at that level.
- Liquidity Grab Detection: The indicator automatically detects and highlights bars that "grab liquidity" (break the top of a resistance box or the bottom of a support box), signaling potential stop hunts or reversals.
- Customizable Sensitivity: Users can adjust pivot lengths, search depth, and the volume scaling factor to fit different timeframes and assets.
How to Use
- Support & Resistance: Use the Blue Boxes as potential Support zones and Red Boxes as potential Resistance zones.
- Trend Reversals: Watch for the Liquidity Grab signals (colored bars). If price pierces a box but fails to close significantly beyond it, it often indicates a trap or a reversal setup.
- Volume Analysis: Pay attention to the thickness of the boxes. A thicker box suggests that a significant amount of volume was traded to form that structure, making it a stronger level of interest.
Range Lattice## RangeLattice
RangeLattice constructs a higher-timeframe scaffolding on any intraday chart, locking in structural highs/lows, mid/quarter grids, VWAP confluence, and live acceptance/break analytics. It provides a non-repainting overlay that turns range management into a disciplined process.
HOW IT WORKS
Structure Harvesting – Using request.security() , the script samples highs/lows from a user-selected timeframe (default 240 minutes) over a configurable lookback to establish the dominant range.
Grid Construction – Midpoint and quarter levels are derived mathematically, mirroring how institutional traders map distribution/accumulation zones.
Acceptance Detection – Consecutive closes inside the range flip an acceptance flag and darken the cloud, signaling balanced auction conditions.
Break Confirmation – Multi-bar closes outside the structure raise break labels and alerts, filtering the countless fake-outs that plague breakout traders.
VWAP Fan Overlay – Session VWAP plus ATR-based bands provide a live measure of flow centering relative to the lattice.
HOW TO USE IT
Range Plays : Fade taps of the outer rails only when acceptance is active and VWAP sits inside the grid—this is where mean-reversion works best.
Breakout Plays : Wait for confirmed break labels before entering expansion trades; the dashboard's Width/ATR metric tells you if the expansion has enough fuel.
Market Prep : Carry the same lattice from pre-market into regular trading hours by keeping the structure timeframe fixed; alerts keep you notified even when managing multiple tickers.
VISUAL FEATURES
Range Tap and Mid Pivot markers provide a tape-reading breadcrumb trail for journaling.
Cloud fill opacity tightens when acceptance persists, visually signaling balance compressions ready to break.
Dashboard displays absolute width, ATR-normalized width, and current state (Balanced vs Transitional) so you can glance across charts quickly.
Acceptance Flag toggle: Keep the repeated acceptance squares hidden until you need to audit balance.
PARAMETERS
Structure Timeframe (default: 240): Choose the timeframe whose ranges matter most (4H for indices, Daily for stocks).
Structure Lookback (default: 60): Bars sampled on the structure timeframe.
Acceptance Bars (default: 8): How many consecutive bars inside the range confirm balance.
Break Confirmation Bars (default: 3): Bars required outside the range to validate a breakout.
ATR Reference (default: 14): ATR period for width normalization.
Show Midpoint Grid (default: enabled): Display the midpoint and quarter levels.
Show Adaptive VWAP Fan (default: enabled): Toggle the VWAP channel for assets where volume distribution matters most.
Show Acceptance Flags (default: disabled): Turn the acceptance markers on/off for maximum visual control.
Show Range Dashboard (default: enabled): Disable if screen space is limited, re-enable during prep sessions.
ALERTS
The indicator includes five alert conditions:
Range High Tap: Price interacted with the RangeLattice high
Range Low Tap: Price interacted with the RangeLattice low
Range Mid Tap: Price interacted with the RangeLattice mid
Range Break Up: Confirmed upside breakout
Range Break Down: Confirmed downside breakout
Where it works best
This indicator works best on liquid instruments with clear structural levels. On very low timeframes (1-minute and below), the structure may update too frequently to be useful. The acceptance/break confirmation system requires patience—faster traders may find the multi-bar confirmation too slow for scalping. The VWAP fan is session-based and resets daily, which may not suit all trading styles.
RSI Cascade DivergencesRSI Cascade Divergences is a tool for detecting divergences between price and RSI with an extended cascade-based strength accumulation logic. A “cascade” represents a sequence of multiple divergences linked through RSI pivot points. The indicator records RSI pivots, checks whether a divergence is present, assigns a strength value to each structure, and displays only signals that meet your minimum strength thresholds.
How Divergence Logic Works
The indicator identifies local RSI extremes (pivots) based on Pivot Length and Pivot Confirm.
For every confirmed pivot it stores:
the RSI value at the pivot,
the corresponding value of the RSI Source price,
the pivot’s bar index.
How a Divergence Is Formed
A divergence is detected when two consecutive RSI pivots of the same type show opposite dynamics relative to the price source defined in RSI Source (default: close), not relative to chart highs/lows.
Bearish divergence: the price source value at the second pivot is higher, but RSI forms a lower high.
Bullish divergence: the price source value at the second pivot is lower, but RSI forms a higher low.
The indicator does not use price highs/lows — only the selected price source at the pivot points.
Cascade Strength Calculation
Each new pivot is compared only with the previous pivot of the same type.
A cascade grows in strength if:
divergence conditions are met,
the difference in RSI values exceeds Min. RSI Distance,
the previous structure already had some strength or the previous pivot was formed in the OB/OS zone.
If the divergence occurs as RSI exits OB/OS, strength is additionally increased by +1.
Behavior in Strong Trends
Divergences may appear repeatedly and even form cascades with high strength. However, if price does not react meaningfully, this indicates strong trend pressure.
In such cases, divergences stop functioning as reversal signals:
RSI attempts to counter-move, but the dominant trend continues.
The indicator accurately reflects this — cascades may form but fail to trigger any reversal, which itself suggests a powerful, persistent trend.
Filtering and Context Reset
To avoid retaining irrelevant pivots:
when RSI is above Overbought → low pivots are cleared;
when RSI is below Oversold → high pivots are cleared.
This prevents false cascades during extreme RSI conditions.
Input Parameters
RSI Source — price source used in RSI calculations (close, hl2, ohlc4, etc.).
RSI Length — RSI calculation period.
Overbought / Oversold — RSI threshold zones.
Pivot Length — number of bars to the left required for a pivot.
Pivot Confirm — bars to the right required to confirm the pivot.
Min. RSI Distance — minimum difference between two pivot RSI values for the divergence to be considered meaningful.
Min. Strength (Bull / Bear) — minimum accumulated strength for:
confirming the signal,
displaying the strength label,
triggering alerts.
Weaker signals below these thresholds appear as dashed guide structures.
Visual
Display settings for lines, markers, and colors.
These parameters do not affect the indicator logic.
Important
Divergences — including cascades — should not be used as a standalone trading signal.
Always combine them with broader market context, trend analysis, structure, volume, and risk management tools.
DeltaBurst Locator ## DeltaBurst Locator
DeltaBurst Locator is a sponsorship detector that divides OBV impulse by price thrust, normalizes the ratio, and cross-checks it against a higher timeframe confirmation stream. The oscillator turns the abstract "is this move real?" question into a precise number, exposing accumulation, distribution, and exhaustion across futures and stocks.
HOW IT WORKS
OBV Impulse vs. Price Change – Smoothed deltas of On-Balance Volume and price are ratioed, then normalized using a hyperbolic tangent function to prevent single prints from dominating.
Signal vs. Confirmation – A short EMA produces the execution signal while a higher-timeframe request.security() feed validates whether broader flows agree.
Spectrum Classification – Expansion/compression metrics grade whether current aggression is intense or fading, while ±0.65 bands define exhaust/vacuum zones.
Slope Divergences – Linear regression slopes on both price and the ratio expose bullish/bearish sponsorship mismatches before candles reverse.
HOW TO USE IT
Breakout Validation : Only chase breakouts when both local and higher-timeframe ratios are on the same side of zero; mixed signals suggest liquidity is fading.
Absorption Trades : When the histogram spikes beyond ±0.65 but the EMA lags, expect absorption; combine with price structure for pinpoint reversals.
News/Event Monitoring : During earnings or macro releases, watch for ratio collapses with price still rising—this flags forced moves driven by hedging rather than real demand.
VISUAL FEATURES
Color logic: Positive sponsorship fills teal, negative fills crimson against the zero line, making intent obvious at a glance.
Optional markers: Burst triangles and divergence dots can be enabled when you need explicit annotations or left off for a minimalist panel.
Compression heatmap: Background shading communicates whether the market is coiling (high compression) or erupting (low compression).
Dashboard: Displays the live ratio, higher-timeframe ratio, and agreement state to speed up scanning across tickers.
PARAMETERS
Fast Pulse Length (default: 5): Controls the smoothing window for price change detection.
Slow Equilibrium Length (default: 34): Window for expansion/compression calculation.
OBV Smooth (default: 8): Smoothing period for OBV impulse calculation.
Ratio Ceiling (default: 3.0): Controls how aggressively values saturate; raise for high-volatility tickers.
Signal EMA (default: 4): EMA period for the signal line.
Confirmation Timeframe (default: 240): Pick a higher anchor (e.g., 4H) to validate intraday moves.
Divergence Window (default: 21): Window for slope-based divergence detection.
Show Burst Markers (default: disabled): Toggle burst triangles on demand.
Show Divergence Markers (default: disabled): Toggle divergence dots on demand.
Show Delta Dashboard (default: enabled): Hide when screen space is limited; leave on for desk broadcasts.
ALERTS
The indicator includes four alert conditions:
DeltaBurst Bull: Spotted a bullish liquidity burst
DeltaBurst Bear: Spotted a bearish liquidity burst
DeltaBurst Bull Div: Detected bullish sponsorship divergence
DeltaBurst Bear Div: Detected bearish sponsorship divergence

BTC Mon 8am Buy / Wed 2pm Sell (NY Time, Daily + Intraday)This strategy implements a fixed weekly time-based trading schedule for Bitcoin, using New York market hours as the reference clock. It is designed to test whether a consistent pattern exists between early-week accumulation and mid-week distribution in BTC price behavior.
Entry Rule — Monday 8:00 AM (NY Time)
The strategy enters a long position every Monday at exactly 08:00 AM Eastern Time, one hour after the U.S. equities market pre-open activity begins influencing global liquidity.
This timing attempts to capture early-week directional moves in Bitcoin, which sometimes occur as traditional markets come online.
Exit Rule — Wednesday 2:00 PM (NY Time)
The strategy closes the position every Wednesday at 2:00 PM Eastern Time, a point in the week where:
U.S. equity markets are still open
BTC often experiences mid-week volatility rotations
Liquidity is generally high
This exit removes exposure before later-week uncertainty and gives a consistent, measurable time window for each trade.
Timeframe Compatibility
Works on intraday charts (recommended 1h or lower) using precise time-based triggers.
Also runs on daily charts, where entries and exits occur on the Monday and Wednesday bars respectively (daily charts cannot show intraday timestamps).
All timestamps are synced to America/New_York regardless of the exchange’s native timezone.
Trading Frequency
Exactly one trade per week, preventing overtrading and allowing comparison of weekly performance across years of historical BTC price data.
Purpose of the Strategy
This is not a value-based or trend-following system, but a behavioral/time-cycle analysis tool.
It helps evaluate whether a repeating short-term edge exists based solely on:
Weekday timing
Liquidity cycles
Institutional market influence
BTC’s habitual early-week momentum patterns
It is ideal for:
Backtesting weekly BTC behavior
Studying time-based edges
Comparing alternative weekday/time combinations
Visualizing weekly P&L structure
Risk Notes
This strategy does not attempt to predict price direction and should not be assumed profitable without robust backtesting.
Time-based edges can appear, disappear, or invert depending on macro conditions.
There is no stop loss or risk management included by default, so the strategy reflects raw timing-based performance.
BTC - LEVR: Leverage Efficiency & Volume RatioLEVR: Leverage Efficiency & Volume Ratio
Observation-only. Data: IntoTheBlock.
Overview
The Leverage Efficiency & Volume Ratio (LEVR) is a market structure oscillator designed to detect "Paper Bubbles" and "Organic Bottoms" by separating speculative greed from network utility. While most indicators analyze price action, LEVR analyzes market fragility. It operates on the thesis that Sustainable Rallies are driven by Spot/Network Activity, while Fragile Rallies are driven by Derivatives Leverage.
Synergy
How it works with VERI
LEVR is designed to be the tactical counterpart to the fundamental VERI Indicator (Valuation & Entity Ratio Index).
Use VERI for Strategy: To identify Value. (Is Bitcoin cheap? Are Whales buying?)
Use LEVR for Risk: To identify Structure. (Is the current price move real, or is it a leverage bubble about to pop?)
The "Perfect Setup"
The strongest buy signals occur when VERI is in the Accumulation Zone (Whales buying) AND LEVR is in the Organic Zone (Leverage is flushed out) (as it was the case in the Dec 2022 Bear Market Bottom).
Why LEVR is Unique
Standard indicators often fail to contextualize Open Interest:
vs. Raw Open Interest: Raw OI always trends up over time as the market grows. LEVR solves this by normalizing OI against Active Addresses. This reveals when leverage is outpacing actual adoption.
vs. ELR (Estimated Leverage Ratio): Classic ELR divides Open Interest by Exchange Reserves. However, Exchange Reserves are notoriously difficult to track accurately. LEVR uses Active Addresses (Network Utility) as a cleaner, more reliable denominator for network health.
Methodology
The Mathematics: The indicator calculates a normalized Z-Score ratio between two IntoTheBlock datasets:
The Numerator (Greed): Perpetual Open Interest. The total dollar value of all open futures contracts. This represents the "Gambling" capital.
The Denominator (Utility): Active Addresses. The number of unique addresses transacting on-chain. This represents the "Real" user base.
The Formula : LEVR = Z-Score ( Perpetual Open Interest / Active Addresses )
How to Interpret the Visuals
The line color changes dynamically to reflect the current risk regime:
🟥 Speculative Premium (Red Line > 2.0) :
Signal: "Leverage Bubble."
Context: Open Interest is rising significantly faster than User Growth. The rally is fueled by debt.
Risk: High probability of a "Long Squeeze" or liquidation cascade.
🟦 Organic Base (Blue Line < -1.5) :
Signal: "Spot Driven Market."
Context: Speculators have been flushed out, but active network usage remains high. The line turns Blue to signal a healthy opportunity zone.
Risk: Low. Historically marks robust bottoms where hands are strong.
🟧 Neutral (Orange Line) :
The market is in a transition phase between organic growth and speculation.
Settings & Inputs
Users can customize the sensitivity of the Z-Score to fit their trading style (in brackets their current standard value):
Lookback Period (365) : The rolling window used to establish the "Baseline." A 365-day window captures the yearly trend.
Signal Smoothing (7) : A short moving average to reduce daily data noise.
Bubble Zone Top/Bottom (3.0 / 2.0) : The thresholds for the Red Zone. Raising the "Top" value will only show the most extreme, generational leverage bubbles.
Organic Zone Top/Bottom (-1.5 / -2.5) : The thresholds for the Green Zone. Lowering these values requires a deeper "flush" to trigger a signal.
Optimization
This indicator is mathematically optimized for the Daily (1D) timeframe. Using it on lower timeframes may result in noise due to the daily resolution of on-chain data.
Important Note on Historical Data
Please be aware that aggregated global Perpetual Open Interest data only becomes reliable and widely available starting around 2020-2021.
Pre-2021: The indicator will show a flat line or empty values. This is not a bug; it reflects the lack of historical derivatives market data for that period.
2021-Present: The indicator functions fully as intended.
Credits
Concept inspired by the "Estimated Leverage Ratio" (ELR) popularised by CryptoQuant and analysts like Willy Woo. LEVR adapts this concept for TradingView by substituting Exchange Reserves with Network Activity for better reliability.

Strategy: HMA 50 + Supertrend SniperHMA 50 + Supertrend Confluence Strategy (Trend Following with Noise Filtering)
Description:
Introduction and Concept This strategy is designed to solve a common problem in trend-following trading: Lag vs. False Signals. Standard Moving Averages often lag too much, while price action indicators can generate false signals during choppy markets. This script combines the speed of the Hull Moving Average (HMA) with the volatility-based filtering of the Supertrend indicator to create a robust "Confluence System."
The primary goal of this script is not just to overlay two indicators, but to enforce a strict rule where a trade is only taken when Momentum (HMA) and Volatility Direction (Supertrend) are in perfect agreement.
Why this combination? (The Logic Behind the Mashup)
Hull Moving Average (HMA 50): We use the HMA because it significantly reduces lag compared to SMA or EMA by using weighted calculations. It acts as our primary Trend Direction detector. However, HMA can be too sensitive and "whipsaw" during sideways markets.
Supertrend (ATR-based): We use the Supertrend (Factor 3.0, Period 10) as our Volatility Filter. It uses Average True Range (ATR) to determine the significant trend boundary.
How it Works (Methodology) The strategy uses a boolean logic system to filter out low-quality trades:
Bullish Confluence: The HMA must be rising (Slope > 0) AND the Close Price must be above the Supertrend line (Uptrend).
Bearish Confluence: The HMA must be falling (Slope < 0) AND the Close Price must be below the Supertrend line (Downtrend).
The "Choppy Zone" (Noise Filter): This is a unique feature of this script. If the HMA indicates one direction (e.g., Rising) but the Supertrend indicates the opposite (e.g., Downtrend), the market is considered "Choppy" or indecisive. In this state, the script paints the candles or HMA line Gray and exits all positions (optional setting) to preserve capital.
Visual Guide & Signals To make the script easy to interpret for traders who do not read Pine Script, I have implemented specific visual cues:
Green Cross (+): Indicates a LONG entry signal. Both HMA and Supertrend align bullishly.
Red Cross (X): Indicates a SHORT entry signal. Both HMA and Supertrend align bearishly.
Thick Line (HMA): The main line changes color based on the trend.
Green: Bullish Confluence.
Red: Bearish Confluence.
Gray: Divergence/Choppy (No Trade Zone).
Thin Step Line: This is the Supertrend line, serving as your dynamic Trailing Stop Loss.
Strategy Settings
HMA Length: Default is 50 (Mid-term trend).
ATR Factor/Period: Default is 3.0/10 (Standard for trend catching).
Exit on Choppy: A toggle switch allowing users to decide whether to hold through noise or exit immediately when indicators disagree.
Risk Warning This strategy performs best in trending markets (Forex, Crypto, Indices). Like all trend-following systems, it may experience drawdown during prolonged accumulation/distribution phases. Please backtest with your specific asset before using it with real capital.
