**ACD Indicator: Mark Fisher's Opening Range Breakout Strategy**
**Overview**
The ACD system, developed by legendary trader Mark Fisher in his book *The Logical Trader*, is a powerful methodology for identifying high-probability trade setups based on the market's opening range (OR). This indicator automates Layers 1 and 2 of the ACD strategy, helping you spot breakout opportunities, trend direction, and key support/resistance levels. Perfect for day traders, scalpers, and swing traders in forex, stocks, futures, or crypto.
**How It Works**
1. **Opening Range (OR)**: Calculated from the high/low of the first X minutes (default: 30-60 min) of major sessions (e.g., Tokyo, London, New York).
2. **A Levels**: Drawn at a percentage (default: 0.5% of OR range or ATR-based) above/below the OR. A breakout above A-Up signals a bullish setup; below A-Down signals bearish.
3. **C Levels**: Wider levels (default: 1-2% or ATR multiplier) for stronger confirmation. Breakouts here confirm trend strength and filter fakeouts.
4. **Pivot Ranges**: Includes daily and N-day pivots to gauge overall market bias (above pivots = bullish; below = bearish).
**Key Features**
- **Customizable Sessions**: Tokyo (00:00-01:00 GMT), London (08:00-09:00 GMT), New York (13:30-14:30 GMT) – adjustable.
- **ATR Integration**: Uses Average True Range for dynamic A/C levels (period: 14 by default).
- **Visual Alerts**: Color-coded lines (green for bullish, red for bearish) + optional labels for breakouts.
- **Pivot Display**: Show/hide daily or multi-day pivots with customizable colors.
- **Risk Management**: Built-in stop-loss suggestions based on OR width.
**Trading Rules**
- **Bullish Setup**: Price breaks and holds above A-Up → Enter long at C-Up confirmation. Target: Next pivot or 1:2 risk-reward.
- **Bearish Setup**: Price breaks below A-Down → Enter short at C-Down.
- **Avoid Fakeouts**: Wait for stabilization (e.g., close above/below level).
- **Trend Filter**: Combine with PMA (Pivot Moving Average) for Layer 3 confirmation (search "ACD PMA" in TradingView).
**Settings Guide**
- **OR Timeframe**: Session start time and duration (e.g., 30 min).
- **A Multiplier (%)**: Distance for A levels (default: 0.5).
- **C Multiplier (%)**: Distance for C levels (default: 1.0).
- **ATR Period**: For volatility-based levels (default: 14).
- **Show Pivots**: Toggle daily/N-day ranges.
This indicator balances supply/demand by analyzing volume and price action within the opening range. Backtest on your favorite pairs (e.g., EURUSD, BTCUSD) and adjust for your style. Not financial advice – always use proper risk management!

Contrarian Period High & LowContrarian Period High & Low
This indicator pairs nicely with the Contrarian 100 MA and can be located here:
Overview
The "Contrarian Period High & Low" indicator is a powerful technical analysis tool designed for traders seeking to identify key support and resistance levels and capitalize on contrarian trading opportunities. By tracking the highest highs and lowest lows over user-defined periods (Daily, Weekly, or Monthly), this indicator plots historical levels and generates buy and sell signals when price breaks these levels in a contrarian manner. A unique blue dot counter and action table enhance decision-making, making it ideal for swing traders, trend followers, and those trading forex, stocks, or cryptocurrencies. Optimized for daily charts, it can be adapted to other timeframes with proper testing.
How It Works
The indicator identifies the highest high and lowest low within a specified period (e.g., daily, weekly, or monthly) and draws horizontal lines for the previous period’s extremes on the chart. These levels act as dynamic support and resistance zones. Contrarian signals are generated when the price crosses below the previous period’s low (buy signal) or above the previous period’s high (sell signal), indicating potential reversals. A blue dot counter tracks consecutive buy signals, and a table displays the count and recommended action, helping traders decide whether to hold or flip positions.
Key Components
Period High/Low Levels: Tracks the highest high and lowest low for each period, plotting red lines for highs and green lines for lows from the bar where they occurred, extending for a user-defined length (default: 200 bars).
Contrarian Signals: Generates buy signals (blue circles) when price crosses below the previous period’s low and sell signals (white circles) when price crosses above the previous period’s high, designed to capture potential reversals.
Blue Dot Tracker: Counts consecutive buy signals (“blue dots”). If three or more occur, it suggests a stronger trend, with the table recommending whether to “Hold Investment” or “Flip Investment.”
Action Table: A 2x2 table in the bottom-right corner displays the blue dot count and action (“Hold Investment” if count ≥ 4, else “Flip Investment”) for quick reference.
Mathematical Concepts
Period Detection: Uses an approximate bar count to define periods (1 bar for Daily, 5 bars for Weekly, 20 bars for Monthly on a daily chart). When a new period starts, the previous period’s high/low is finalized and plotted.
High/Low Tracking:
Highest high (periodHigh) and lowest low (periodLow) are updated within the period.
Lines are drawn at these levels when the period ends, starting from the bar where the extreme occurred (periodHighBar, periodLowBar).
Signal Logic:
Buy signal: ta.crossunder(close , prevPeriodLow) and not lowBroken and barstate.isconfirmed
Sell signal: ta.crossover(close , prevPeriodHigh) and not highBroken and barstate.isconfirmed
Flags (highBroken, lowBroken) prevent multiple signals for the same level within a period.
Blue Dot Counter: Increments on each buy signal, resets on a sell signal or if price exceeds the entry price after three or more buy signals.
Entry and Exit Rules
Buy Signal (Blue Circle): Triggered when the price crosses below the previous period’s low, suggesting a potential oversold condition and buying opportunity. The signal appears as a blue circle below the price bar.
Sell Signal (White Circle): Triggered when the price crosses above the previous period’s high, indicating a potential overbought condition and selling opportunity. The signal appears as a white circle above the price bar.
Blue Dot Tracker:
Increments blueDotCount on each buy signal and sets an entryPrice on the first buy.
Resets on a sell signal or if price exceeds entryPrice after three or more buy signals.
If blueDotCount >= 3, the table suggests holding; if >= 4, it reinforces “Hold Investment.”
Exit Rules: Exit a buy position on a sell signal or when price exceeds the entry price after three or more buy signals. Combine with other tools (e.g., trendlines, support/resistance) for additional confirmation. Always apply proper risk management.
Recommended Usage
The "Contrarian Period High & Low" indicator is optimized for daily charts but can be adapted to other timeframes (e.g., 1H, 4H) with adjustments to the period bar count. It excels in markets with clear support/resistance levels and potential reversal zones. Traders should:
Backtest the indicator on their chosen asset and timeframe to validate signal reliability.
Combine with other technical tools (e.g., moving averages, Fibonacci levels) for stronger trade confirmation.
Adjust barsPerPeriod (e.g., ~120 bars for Weekly on hourly charts) based on the chart timeframe and market volatility.
Monitor the action table to guide position management based on blue dot counts.
Customization Options
Period Type: Choose between Daily, Weekly, or Monthly periods (default: Monthly).
Line Length: Set the length of high/low lines in bars (default: 200).
Show Highs/Lows: Toggle visibility of period high (red) and low (green) lines.
Max Lines to Keep: Limit the number of historical lines displayed (default: 10).
Hide Signals: Toggle buy/sell signal visibility for a cleaner chart.
Table Display: A fixed table in the bottom-right corner shows the blue dot count and action, with yellow (Hold) or green (Flip) backgrounds based on the count.
Why Use This Indicator?
The "Contrarian Period High & Low" indicator offers a unique blend of support/resistance visualization and contrarian signal generation, making it a versatile tool for identifying potential reversals. Its clear visual cues (lines and signals), blue dot tracker, and actionable table provide traders with an intuitive way to monitor market structure and manage trades. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced trader, this indicator enhances your ability to spot key levels and time entries/exits effectively.
Tips for Users
Test the indicator thoroughly on your chosen market and timeframe to optimize settings (e.g., adjust barsPerPeriod for non-daily charts).
Use in conjunction with price action or other indicators for stronger trade setups.
Monitor the action table to decide whether to hold or flip positions based on blue dot counts.
Ensure your chart timeframe aligns with the selected period type (e.g., daily chart for Monthly periods).
Apply strict risk management to protect against false breakouts.

TRP Stop-Loss_Trailing SL# TRP Stop-Loss Indicator
## Overview
The TRP (True Range Percentage) Stop-Loss indicator is an advanced volatility-based stop-loss tool that provides dynamic position protection based on market volatility. Unlike traditional ATR-based indicators, TRP calculates volatility as a percentage of price, offering superior adaptability across different price ranges and market conditions.
## What is TRP and Why It's Superior to ATR
### TRP (True Range Percentage)
TRP calculates the true range as a percentage of the closing price, providing a **normalized volatility measure**. The formula is:
```
TRP = (True Range / Close) × 100
```
### Key Advantages of TRP over ATR:
1. **Price-Normalized Volatility**: TRP automatically adjusts for different price levels, making it equally effective whether you're trading a $10 stock or a $1000 stock.
2. **Percentage-Based Risk**: TRP gives you direct percentage risk values, making position sizing and risk management more intuitive.
3. **Better Cross-Market Comparison**: Unlike ATR, TRP allows you to compare volatility across different instruments on an equal basis.
4. **Adaptive to Market Conditions**: TRP naturally scales with price movements, providing more relevant stop-loss levels during trending markets.
5. **Consistent Risk Exposure**: Maintains consistent percentage risk regardless of the underlying asset's price level.
## Indicator Features
### 🎯 **Dual Stop-Loss System**
- **Long SL**: Red line below price for long positions

Morning Peak FadeMorning Peak Fade is an intraday analysis tool that identifies and measures the probability of early session rallies turning into sharp pullbacks.
📊 Core Idea
• Many stocks surge after the open, reaching an intraday peak before fading lower.
• This script anchors at the first significant morning high and tracks the drawdowns that follow within a customizable time window.
• It provides:
• Probability of a fade after the peak
• Average and maximum drawdown statistics
• Event-day hit rate (how often such setups occur)
🎯 Use Cases
• Spot potential “fade setups” where early enthusiasm exhausts quickly.
• Quantify how often chasing the morning high turns into a losing trade.
• Backtest opening range failure or fade strategies with hard data.
⚙️ Features
• Customizable thresholds for the initial surge (relative to prior close).
• Marks the peak (max) and subsequent low (min) used in calculations.
• Draws a reference line at the surge threshold to visualize when the fade triggers.
• Outputs summary stats directly on the chart.
Premarket Power MovePremarket Power Move is an intraday research tool that tracks what happens after strong premarket or opening gaps.
📊 Core Idea
• When a stock opens +X% above the prior close, it often attracts momentum traders.
• This script measures whether the stock continues to follow through higher or instead fades back down within the first trading hour.
• It calculates:
• The probability of a post-gap rally vs. a drawdown
• Average and maximum retracements after the surge
• Event-day hit rate (how many days actually triggered the condition)
🎯 Use Cases
• Identify “gap-and-go” opportunities where strong premarket strength leads to further gains.
• Spot potential fade setups where early enthusiasm quickly reverses.
• Backtest your intraday strategies with objective statistics instead of gut feeling.
⚙️ Features
• Customizable thresholds for premarket/open surge (%) and follow-through window (minutes).
• Marks the chart with reference lines:
• Prior close
• Surge threshold (e.g. +6%)
• Intraday high/low used for probability calculations.
• Outputs summary statistics (probabilities, averages, counts) directly on the chart.
🔔 Note
This is not a buy/sell signal generator. It is a probability and behavior analysis tool that helps traders understand how often strong premarket gaps continue vs. fade.
HFT Jude FootprintThis script is designed to detect potential High-Frequency Trader (HFT) activity based on unusual volume spikes and candle behavior, in order to identify potential intraday breakout opportunities. It is best suited for 3-minute and 5-minute charts across NSE-listed stocks.
How It Works
The strategy combines three core conditions:
Volume Spike Multiplier: Detects when current volume is > X times the rolling average (e.g., 5× 20-bar average volume).
Breakout Confirmation: Entry is considered only if the close is:
Near the high (for longs) or low (for shorts) of the candle.
Higher than the previous high (for longs), or lower than previous low (for shorts).
Visual Signal: When all conditions align, a Buy or Sell label is plotted on the chart, right at the candle where the footprint is detected.
This script is tailored for scalpers, intraday traders, and HFT watchers. It is not a mash-up of generic indicators and based on my backtesting and observation of large HFT firms that operate in the indian equities market,
Sols Day Trading Signals (5m / 10m)This indicator is designed for day trading on the 5-minute and 10-minute charts.
Includes:
EMA 9 & EMA 21 crossover signals
MACD momentum confirmation
RSI trend filter (50+)
Buy/Sell labels directly on the chart
💡 How to Use:
Go long when EMA 9 crosses above EMA 21, MACD is positive, and RSI is above 50
Go short when EMA 9 crosses below EMA 21, MACD is negative, and RSI is below 50
Best used with proper risk management (1-2% per trade)

BB Crosses Optimized - [JTCAPITAL]BB Crosses Optimized - is a modified way to use Bollinger Bands combined with volatility filtering (ATR) and flexible smoothing methods for Trend-Following.
The indicator works by calculating in the following steps:
Source Selection & Smoothing
The script begins by letting the user select a preferred price source (default is Close, but options include Open, High, Low, HL2, etc.). This raw input is then passed through a smoothing process.
Multiple smoothing techniques can be chosen: SMA, EMA, HMA, DEMA, TEMA, RMA, and FRAMA. Each method reduces short-term noise differently, ensuring flexibility for traders who prefer faster or slower reaction speeds in trend detection.
Bollinger Band Construction
Once the smoothed source is prepared, Bollinger Bands are calculated. The middle band is a moving average of the smoothed data over the defined BB Period . The upper and lower bands are then generated by adding and subtracting the Standard Deviation × Deviation multiplier . These dynamic bands capture volatility and help define breakout zones.
ATR Volatility Measurement
Parallel to the band calculation, the Average True Range (ATR) is computed over the chosen ATR Period . This measures market volatility. The ATR can optionally act as a filter, refining buy and sell levels so signals adapt to current market conditions rather than being fixed to price alone.
Bollinger Band Signals
-If the smoothed price closes above the upper band, a potential bullish event is marked.
-If the smoothed price closes below the lower band, a potential bearish event is marked.
Trend Line Construction
When a bullish event occurs, the script anchors a trend-following line beneath price. If ATR filtering is enabled, the line is set at Low – ATR , otherwise at the simple Low. Conversely, when a bearish event occurs, the line is anchored above price at High + ATR (or just High without the filter). The line is designed to only move in the direction of the trend—if price action does not exceed the prior value, the previous level is held. This prevents unnecessary whipsaws and keeps the indicator aligned with dominant momentum.
Final Trend Detection
The slope of the trend line defines the trend itself:
-Rising line → bullish trend.
-Falling line → bearish trend.
Visual Output
The indicator plots the trend line with dynamic coloring: Blue for bullish phases, Purple for bearish phases. A subtle filled background area emphasizes the active trend zone for clearer chart interpretation.
Buy and Sell Conditions:
- Buy Signal : Triggered when smoothed price closes above the upper Bollinger Band. Trend line then anchors below price (with or without ATR offset depending on settings).
- Sell Signal : Triggered when smoothed price closes below the lower Bollinger Band. Trend line then anchors above price (with or without ATR offset).
Additional filtering is possible via:
- ATR Toggle : Switch ATR on or off to adapt the strategy to either volatile or steady markets.
- Smoothing Method : Adjust smoothing to speed up or slow down responsiveness.
- Deviation Multiplier : Tight or wide bands adjust the sensitivity of signals.
Features and Parameters:
- Source : Choose between Close, Open, High, Low, HL2, etc.
- Average Type : Options include SMA, EMA, HMA, DEMA, TEMA, RMA, FRAMA.
- ATR Period : Defines how ATR volatility is measured.
- BB Period : Lookback length for Bollinger Band construction.
- Deviation : Multiplier for the standard deviation in Bollinger Bands.
- Smoothing Period : Controls how much the source data is smoothed.
- ATR Filter On/Off : Enables or disables ATR integration in signal calculation.
Specifications:
Smoothing (MA Types)
Smoothing is essential to reduce chart noise. By offering multiple MA choices, traders can balance between lag (SMA, RMA) and responsiveness (EMA, HMA, FRAMA). This flexibility allows the indicator to adapt across asset classes and trading styles.
Bollinger Bands
Bollinger Bands measure price deviation around a moving average. They help identify volatility expansion and contraction. In this script, the bands serve as breakout triggers—price crossing outside suggests momentum strong enough to sustain a trend.
Standard Deviation
Standard Deviation is a statistical measure that quantifies the dispersion of price data around the mean. With a multiplier applied, it creates bands that contain a probabilistic portion of price action. Crossing beyond these suggests a higher likelihood of trend continuation.
ATR (Average True Range)
ATR measures the degree of volatility. Instead of simply reacting to price crossing the bands, ATR ensures the trend line placement adapts to current conditions. In volatile markets, wider buffers prevent premature signals; in calmer markets, tighter placement keeps signals responsive.
Trend Line Logic
The trend line only adjusts in the direction of the trend. If new values do not exceed the prior, the line remains unchanged. This prevents false reversals and makes the line a reliable visual confirmation of trend direction.
Signal Detection
The indicator does not repaint: signals are based on confirmed closes relative to the Bollinger Bands. This makes it more reliable for both live trading and backtesting scenarios.
Visual Enhancements
The use of dual plots and fill shading creates a clearer separation of bullish vs. bearish phases. This helps traders visually align entries and exits without second-guessing.

Opening Range IndicatorComplete Trading Guide: Opening Range Breakout Strategy
What Are Opening Ranges?
Opening ranges capture the high and low prices during the first few minutes of market open. These levels often act as key support and resistance throughout the trading day because:
Heavy volume occurs at market open as overnight orders execute
Institutional activity is concentrated during opening minutes
Price discovery happens as market participants react to overnight news
Psychological levels are established that traders watch all day
Understanding the Three Timeframes
OR5 (5-Minute Range: 9:30-9:35 AM)
Most sensitive - captures immediate market reaction
Quick signals but higher false breakout rate
Best for scalping and momentum trading
Use for early entry when conviction is high
OR15 (15-Minute Range: 9:30-9:45 AM)
Balanced approach - most popular among day traders
Moderate sensitivity with better reliability
Good for swing trades lasting several hours
Primary timeframe for most strategies
OR30 (30-Minute Range: 9:30-10:00 AM)
Most reliable but slower signals
Lower false breakout rate
Best for position trades and trend following
Use when looking for major moves
Core Trading Strategies
Strategy 1: Basic Breakout
Setup:
Wait for price to break above OR15 high or below OR15 low
Enter on the breakout candle close
Stop loss: Opposite side of the range
Target: 2-3x the range size
Example:
OR15 range: $100.00 - $102.00 (Range = $2.00)
Long entry: Break above $102.00
Stop loss: $99.50 (below OR15 low)
Target: $104.00+ (2x range size)
Strategy 2: Multiple Confirmation
Setup:
Wait for OR5 break first (early signal)
Confirm with OR15 break in same direction
Enter on OR15 confirmation
Stop: Below OR30 if available, or OR15 opposite level
Why it works:
Multiple timeframe confirmation reduces false signals and increases probability of sustained moves.
Strategy 3: Failed Breakout Reversal
Setup:
Price breaks OR15 level but fails to hold
Wait for re-entry into the range
Enter reversal trade toward opposite OR level
Stop: Recent breakout high/low
Target: Opposite side of range + extension
Key insight: Failed breakouts often lead to strong moves in the opposite direction.
Advanced Techniques
Range Quality Assessment
High-Quality Ranges (Trade these):
Range size: 0.5% - 2% of stock price
Clean boundaries (not choppy)
Volume spike during range formation
Clear rejection at range levels
Low-Quality Ranges (Avoid these):
Very narrow ranges (<0.3% of stock price)
Extremely wide ranges (>3% of stock price)
Choppy, overlapping candles
Low volume during formation
Volume Confirmation
For Breakouts:
Look for volume spike (2x+ average) on breakout
Declining volume often signals false breakout
Rising volume during range formation shows interest
Market Context Filters
Best Conditions:
Trending market days (SPY/QQQ with clear direction)
Earnings reactions or news-driven moves
High-volume stocks with good liquidity
Volatility above average (VIX considerations)
Avoid Trading When:
Extremely low volume days
Major economic announcements pending
Holidays or half-days
Choppy, sideways market conditions
Risk Management Rules
Position Sizing
Conservative: Risk 0.5% of account per trade
Moderate: Risk 1% of account per trade
Aggressive: Risk 2% maximum per trade
Stop Loss Placement
Inside the range: Quick exit but higher stop-out rate
Outside opposite level: More room but larger risk
ATR-based: 1.5-2x Average True Range below entry
Profit Taking
Target 1: 1x range size (take 50% off)
Target 2: 2x range size (take 25% off)
Runner: Trail remaining 25% with moving stops
Specific Entry Techniques
Breakout Entry Methods
Method 1: Immediate Entry
Enter as soon as price closes above/below range
Fastest entry but highest false signal rate
Best for strong momentum situations
Method 2: Pullback Entry
Wait for breakout, then pullback to range level
Enter when price bounces off former resistance/support
Better risk/reward but may miss some moves
Method 3: Volume Confirmation
Wait for breakout + volume spike
Enter after volume confirmation candle
Reduces false signals significantly
Multiple Timeframe Entries
Aggressive: OR5 break → immediate entry
Conservative: OR5 + OR15 + OR30 all align → enter
Balanced: OR15 break with OR30 support → enter

Katz Impact Wave 🚀Overview of the Katz Impact Wave 🚀
The Katz Impact Wave is a momentum oscillator designed to visualize the battle between buyers and sellers. Instead of combining bullish and bearish pressure into a single line, it separates them into two distinct "Impact Waves."
Its primary goal is to generate clear trade signals by identifying when one side gains control, but only when the market has enough volatility to be considered "moving." This built-in filter helps to avoid signals during flat or choppy market conditions.
Indicator Components: Lines & Plots
Impact Waves & Fill
Green Wave (Total Up Impulses): This line represents the cumulative buying pressure. When this line is rising, it indicates that bulls are getting stronger.
Red Wave (Total Down Impulses): This line represents the cumulative selling pressure. When this line is rising, it indicates that bears are getting stronger.
Colored Fill: The shaded area between the two waves provides an at-a-glance view of who is in control.
Lime Fill: Bulls are dominant (Green Wave is above the Red Wave).
Red Fill: Bears are dominant (Red Wave is above the Green Wave).
Background Color
The background color provides crucial context about the market state according to the indicator's logic.
Green Background: The market is in a bullish state (Green Wave is dominant) AND the Rate of Change (ROC) filter confirms the market is actively moving.
Red Background: The market is in a bearish state (Red Wave is dominant) AND the ROC filter confirms the market is actively moving.
Gray Background: The market is considered "not moving" or is in a low-volatility chop. Signals that occur when the background is gray should be viewed with extreme caution or ignored.
Symbols & Pivot Lines
▲ Blue Triangle (Up): This is your long entry signal. It appears on the bar where the Green Wave crosses above the Red Wave while the market is moving.
▼ Orange Triangle (Down): This is your short entry signal. It appears on the bar where the Red Wave crosses above the Green Wave while the market is moving.
Pivot Lines (Solid Green/Red/White Lines): These lines mark confirmed peaks of exhaustion in momentum, not price.
Green Pivot Line: Marks a peak in the Green Wave, signaling buying momentum exhaustion. This can be a warning that the uptrend is losing steam.
Red Pivot Line: Marks a peak in the Red Wave, signaling selling momentum exhaustion. This can be a warning that the downtrend is losing steam.
▼ Yellow Triangle (Compression): This rare signal appears when buying and selling exhaustion pivots happen at the same level. It signifies a point of extreme indecision or equilibrium that often occurs before a major price expansion.
Trading Rules & Strategy
This indicator provides entry signals but does not provide explicit Take Profit or Stop Loss levels. You must use your own risk management rules.
Long Trade Rules
Entry Signal: Wait for a blue ▲ triangle to appear at the top of the indicator panel.
Confirmation: Ensure the background color is green, confirming the market is in a bullish, moving state.
Action: Enter a long (buy) trade at the open of the next candle after the signal appears.
Short Trade Rules
Entry Signal: Wait for an orange ▼ triangle to appear at the bottom of the indicator panel.
Confirmation: Ensure the background color is red, confirming the market is in a bearish, moving state.
Action: Enter a short (sell) trade at the open of the next candle after the signal appears.

You must develop and test your own exit strategy. Here are some common approaches:
Stop Loss:
Place a stop loss below the most recent significant swing low on the price chart for a long trade, or above the recent swing high for a short trade.
Use an ATR (Average True Range) based stop, such as 2x the ATR value below your entry for a long, to account for market volatility.
Take Profit:
Opposite Signal: The simplest exit is to close your trade when the opposite signal appears (e.g., close a long trade when a short signal ▼ appears).
Momentum Exhaustion: For a long trade, consider taking partial or full profit when a green Pivot Line appears, signaling that buying momentum is peaking.
Fixed Risk/Reward: Use a predetermined risk/reward ratio (e.g., 1:1.5 or 1:2).

Katz Exploding PowerBand FilterUnderstanding the Katz Exploding PowerBand Filter (EPBF) v2.4
1. Indicator Overview
The Katz Exploding PowerBand Filter (EPBF) is an advanced technical indicator designed to identify moments of expanding bullish or bearish momentum, often referred to as "power." It operates as a standalone oscillator in a separate pane below the main price chart.
Its primary goal is to measure underlying market strength by calculating custom "Bull" and "Bear" power components. These components are then filtered through a versatile moving average and a dual signal line system to generate clear entry and exit signals. This indicator is not a simple momentum oscillator; it uses a unique calculation based on exponential envelopes of both price and squared price to derive its values.
2. On-Chart Lines and Components
The indicator pane consists of five main lines:
Bullish Component (Thick Green/Blue/Yellow/Gray Line): This is the core of the indicator. It represents the calculated bullish "power" or momentum in the market.
Bright Green: Indicates a strong, active long signal condition.
Blue: Shows the bull component is above the MA filter, but the filter itself is still pointing down—a potential sign of a reversal or weakening downtrend.
Yellow: A warning sign that bullish power is weakening and has fallen below the primary signal lines.
Gray: Represents neutral or insignificant bullish power.
Bearish Component (Thick Red/Purple/Yellow/Gray Line): This line represents the calculated bearish "power" or downward momentum.
Bright Red: Indicates a strong, active short signal condition.
Purple: Shows the bear component is above the MA filter, but the filter itself is still pointing down—a sign of potential trend continuation.
Yellow: A warning sign that bearish power is weakening.
Gray: Represents neutral or insignificant bearish power.
MA Filter (Purple Line): This is the main filter, calculated using the moving average type and length you select in the settings (e.g., HullMA, EMA). The Bull and Bear components are compared against this line to determine the underlying trend bias.
Signal Line 1 (Orange Line): A fast Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of the stronger power component. It acts as the first level of dynamic support or resistance for the power lines.
Signal Line 2 (Lime/Gray Line): A slower EMA that acts as a confirmation filter.
Lime Green: The line turns lime when it is rising and the faster Signal Line 1 is above it, indicating a confirmed bullish trend in momentum.
Gray: Indicates a neutral or bearish momentum trend.
3. On-Chart Symbols and Their Meanings
Various characters are plotted at the bottom of the indicator pane to provide clear, actionable signals.
L (Pre-Long Signal): The first sign of a potential long entry. It appears when the Bullish Component rises and crosses above both signal lines for the first time.
S (Pre-Short Signal): The first sign of a potential short entry. It appears when the Bearish Component rises and crosses above both signal lines for the first time.
▲ (Post-Long Signal): A stronger confirmation for a long entry. It appears with the 'L' signal only if the momentum trend is also confirmed bullish (i.e., the slower Signal Line 2 is lime green).
▼ (Post-Short Signal): A stronger confirmation for a short entry. It appears with the 'S' signal only if the momentum trend is confirmed bullish.
Exit / Take-Profit Symbols:
These symbols appear when a power component crosses below a line, suggesting that momentum is fading and it may be time to take profit.
⚠️ (Exit Signal 1): The Bull/Bear component has crossed below the main MA Filter. This is the first and most sensitive take-profit signal.
☣️ (Exit Signal 2): The Bull/Bear component has crossed below the faster Signal Line 1. This is a moderate take-profit signal.
🚼 (Exit Signal 3): The Bull/Bear component has crossed below the slower Signal Line 2. This is the slowest take-profit signal, suggesting the trend is more definitively exhausted.
4. Trading Strategy and Rules
Long Entry Rules:
Initial Signal: Wait for an L to appear at the bottom of the indicator. This confirms that bullish power is expanding.
Confirmation (Recommended): For a higher-probability trade, wait for a green ▲ symbol to appear. This confirms the underlying momentum trend aligns with the signal.
Entry: Enter a long (buy) position on the opening of the next candle after the signal appears.
Short Entry Rules:
Initial Signal: Wait for an S to appear at the bottom of the indicator. This confirms that bearish power is expanding.
Confirmation (Recommended): For a higher-probability trade, wait for a maroon ▼ symbol to appear. This confirms the underlying momentum trend aligns with the signal.
Entry: Enter a short (sell) position on the opening of the next candle after the signal appears.
Take Profit (TP) Rules:
The indicator provides three levels of take-profit signals. You can choose to exit your entire position or scale out at each level.
For a long trade, exit when you see ⚠️, ☣️, or 🚼 appear below the Bullish Component.
For a short trade, exit when you see ⚠️, ☣️, or 🚼 appear below the Bearish Component.
Stop Loss (SL) Rules:
The indicator does not provide an explicit stop loss. You must use your own risk management rules. Common methods include:
Swing High/Low: For a long position, place your stop loss below the most recent significant swing low on the price chart. For a short position, place it above the most recent swing high.
ATR-Based: Use an Average True Range (ATR) indicator to set a volatility-based stop loss.
Fixed Percentage: Risk a fixed percentage (e.g., 1-2%) of your account on the trade.
5. Disclaimer
This indicator is a tool for technical analysis and should not be considered financial advice. All trading involves significant risk, and past performance is not indicative of future results. The signals generated by this indicator are probabilistic and can result in losing trades. Always use proper risk management, such as setting a stop loss, and never risk more than you are willing to lose. It is recommended to backtest this indicator and use it in conjunction with other forms of analysis before trading with real capital. The indicator should only be used for educational purposes.
Nikkei PER Curve (EPS Text Area Input)
This indicator visualizes the PER levels of the Nikkei 225 based on the dates and EPS data entered in the text area.
By plotting multiple PER multiplier lines, it helps users to understand the following:
Potential support and resistance levels based on PER multipliers
Comparison between the current stock price and theoretical valuation levels
Observation of PER trends and detection of deviations from standard valuation levels
Trading Decisions:
When the stock price approaches a specific PER line, it can serve as a reference for support or resistance.
During intraday chart analysis, PER lines are drawn based on the most recent EPS, making them useful as reference levels even during market hours.
Valuation Analysis:
On daily charts, it helps to assess whether the Nikkei is overvalued or undervalued compared to historical levels, or to identify changes in valuation levels.
Risk Management:
The theoretical price lines based on PER can be used as reference points for stop-loss or profit-taking decisions.
Simple Data Input:
EPS data is entered in a text area, one line per date, in comma-separated format:
YYYY/MM/DD,EPS
YYYY/MM/DD,EPS
Multiple entries can be input by using line breaks between each date.
Note: Dates for which no candlestick exists in the chart will not be displayed.
This allows easy updating of PER lines without complex spreadsheets or external tools.
EPS Data Input: Manual input of date and EPS via the text area; supports multiple data entries.
PER Multiplier Lines:
For evenly spaced lines, simply set the central multiplier and the interval between lines. The indicator automatically generates 11 lines (center ±5 lines).
For non-even spacing or individual multiplier settings, you can choose to adjust each line.
Close PER Labels: Displays the PER of the close price relative to the current EPS.
Timeframe Limitation: Use on daily charts (1D) or lower. PER lines cannot be displayed on higher timeframes.
Label Customization: Allows adjustment of text size, color, and position.
EPS Parsing: The indicator reads the input text area line by line, splitting each line by a comma to obtain the date and EPS value.
Data Storage: The dates and EPS values are stored in arrays. These arrays allow the script to efficiently look up the latest EPS for any given date.
PER Calculation: For each chart bar, the indicator calculates the theoretical price for multiple PER multipliers using the formula:
Theoretical Price = EPS × PER multiplier
Line Plotting: PER lines are drawn at these calculated price levels. Labels are optionally displayed for the close price PER.
Date Matching: If a date from the EPS data does not exist as a candlestick on the chart, the corresponding PER line is not plotted.
PER lines are theoretical values: They serve as psychological reference points and do not always act as true support or resistance.
Market Conditions: Lines may be broken depending on market circumstances.
Accuracy of EPS Data: Be careful with EPS input errors, as incorrect data will result in incorrect PER curves.
Input Format: Dates and EPS must be correctly comma-separated and entered one per line. Dates with no corresponding candlestick on the chart will not be plotted. Incorrect formatting may prevent lines from displaying.
Reliability: No method guarantees success in trading; use in combination with backtesting and other technical analysis tools.

2. why change this script:
- added full transparency function to each EMA
- changed to up and down arrows
- change the dashboard to be able to resize and reposition
How to Use This Indicator
This indicator, "Trinity Multi-Timeframe MA Trend," is designed for TradingView and helps visualize Exponential Moving Average (EMA) trends across multiple timeframes. It plots EMAs on your chart, fills areas between them with directional colors (up or down), shows crossover/crossunder labels, and displays a dashboard table summarizing EMA directions (bullish ↑ or bearish ↓) for selected timeframes. It's useful for multi-timeframe analysis in trading strategies, like confirming trends before entries.
Configure Settings (via the Gear Icon on the Indicator Title):
Timeframes Group: Set up to 5 custom timeframes (e.g., "5" for 5 minutes, "60" for 1 hour). These determine the multi-timeframe analysis in the dashboard. Defaults: 5m, 15m, 1h, 4h, 5h.
EMA Group: Adjust the lengths of the 5 EMAs (defaults: 5, 10, 20, 50, 200). These are the moving averages plotted on the chart.
Colors (Inline "c"): Choose uptrend color (default: lime/green) and downtrend color (default: purple). These apply to plots, fills, labels, and dashboard cells.
Transparencies Group: Set transparency levels (0-100) for each EMA's plot and fill (0 = opaque, 100 = fully transparent). Defaults decrease from EMA1 (80) to EMA5 (0) for a gradient effect.
Dashboard Settings Group (newly added):
Dashboard Position: Select where the table appears (Top Right, Top Left, Bottom Right, Bottom Left).
Dashboard Size: Choose text size (Tiny, Small, Normal, Large, Huge) to scale the table for better visibility on crowded charts.
Understanding the Visuals:
EMA Plots: Five colored lines on the chart (EMA1 shortest, EMA5 longest). Color changes based on direction: uptrend (your selected up color) if rising, downtrend (down color) if falling.
Fills Between EMAs: Shaded areas between consecutive EMAs, colored and transparent based on the faster EMA's direction and your transparency settings.
Crossover Labels: Arrow labels (↑ for crossover/uptrend start, ↓ for crossunder/downtrend start) appear on the chart at EMA direction changes, with tooltips like "EMA1".
Dashboard Table (top-right by default):
Rows: EMA1 to EMA5 (with lengths shown).
Columns: Selected timeframes (converted to readable format, e.g., "5m", "1h").
Cells: ↑ (bullish/up) or ↓ (bearish/down) arrows, colored green/lime or purple based on trend, with fading transparency for visual hierarchy.
Use this to quickly check alignment across timeframes (e.g., all ↑ in multiple TFs might signal a strong uptrend).
Trading Tips:
Trend Confirmation: Look for alignment where most EMAs in higher timeframes are ↑ (bullish) or ↓ (bearish).
Entries/Exits: Use crossovers on the chart EMAs as signals, confirmed by the dashboard (e.g., enter long if lower TF EMA crosses up and higher TFs are aligned).
Customization: On lower timeframe charts, set dashboard timeframes to higher ones for top-down analysis. Adjust transparencies to avoid chart clutter.
Limitations: This is a trend-following tool; combine with volume, support/resistance, or other indicators. Backtest on historical data before live use.
Performance: Works best on trending markets; may whipsaw in sideways conditions.
RSI/Stochastic with overlays a moving average + Bollinger BandsCompact oscillator panel that lets you switch the base between RSI and Stochastic %K, then overlays a moving average + Bollinger Bands on the oscillator values (not on price) to read momentum strength and squeeze/expansion.
What’s added
Selectable base: RSI ↔ Stochastic %K (plots %D when Stoch is chosen).
MA + BB on oscillator to gauge momentum trend (MA) and volatility (bands).
Adjustable bands 70/50/30 with optional fill, plus optional regular divergence and alerts.
How to read
Bull bias: %K above osc-MA and pushing/closing near Upper BB; confirm with %K > %D.
Bear bias: %K below osc-MA and near Lower BB; confirm with %K < %D.
Squeeze: BB on oscillator tightens → expect momentum breakout.
Overextension: repeated touches of Upper/Lower BB in 70/30 zones → strong trend; watch for %K–%D recross.
Quick settings (start here)
Stoch: 14 / 3 / 3; Bands: 70/50/30.
Osc-MA: EMA 14.
BB on oscillator: StdDev 2.0 (tune 1.5–2.5).

FU + SMI Validator (Proper FU, 30m)Overview
The FU + SMI Validator is a sophisticated technical analysis indicator designed to detect Proper FU (Fakeouts or Liquidity Sweeps) on the 30-minute timeframe. This tool aims to help traders identify high-probability reversal setups that occur when price briefly breaks key levels (sweeping liquidity), then reverses with momentum confirmation.
Fakeouts are common market events where price action “hunts stops” before reversing direction. Correctly identifying these events can offer excellent entry points with defined risk. This indicator combines price action logic with momentum and volatility filters to provide reliable signals.
Core Concepts
Proper FU (Fakeout) Detection
At its core, the script identifies proper fakeouts by checking if the current bar’s price:
For bullish fakeouts: dips below the previous bar’s low (sweeping stops) and then closes above the previous bar’s high
For bearish fakeouts: spikes above the previous bar’s high and then closes below the previous bar’s low
This ensures that the breakout is a true sweep rather than just a one-sided close.
Optionally, the script can require one additional confirmation bar after the FU, ensuring that the momentum is sustained and reducing false signals.
SMI-style Momentum Validation
To improve the quality of signals, the indicator uses a proxy for the Stochastic Momentum Index (SMI) by calculating the difference between current and past linear regression slopes of price. This momentum check helps ensure that fakeouts occur alongside actual directional strength.
Key points:
Momentum must be increasing in the direction of the FU signal.
Momentum filters can be enabled or disabled based on user preference.
Squeeze Condition to Avoid Low-Volatility Traps
The script includes a volatility filter based on a squeeze-like condition:
It compares Bollinger Bands (BB) and Keltner Channels (KC).
When BB bands contract inside KC bands, the market is in a squeeze state, signaling low volatility.
Fakeouts during squeeze conditions are often unreliable; the script can filter these out to reduce false alarms.
Killzone Session Timing Filter
Recognizing that liquidity and volatility vary by session, this tool supports optional filtering for:
London Killzone: 09:00 to 10:30 (UK time)
New York Killzone: 13:00 to 14:30 (UK time)
Signals only trigger during these high-activity windows if enabled, helping traders focus on periods with the best liquidity and market participation.
Note: For Killzone filtering to work accurately, your TradingView chart must be set to the UK timezone.
Features & Benefits
Robust FU detection ensures the breakout price action is meaningful, reducing noise.
Momentum filter via linear regression slope captures trend strength in a smooth, mathematically sound way.
Low-volatility squeeze avoidance helps reduce false signals in choppy or range-bound markets.
Killzone timing filter focuses your attention on the most liquid and active market hours.
Optional confirmation bar increases signal reliability.
Raw FU markers allow visualization of all detected fakeouts for pattern recognition and manual analysis.
Alerts built-in for both valid buy and sell FU setups, enabling real-time notification and quicker decision-making.
Customization Options
Killzone usage: Enable or disable the session timing filter.
Sessions: Configure London and New York killzone time ranges.
Momentum alignment: Enable or disable momentum filter based on SMI proxy.
Volatility filter: Avoid signals during squeeze or low-volatility conditions.
FU confirmation: Option to require one additional confirming candle after the initial FU.
Squeeze and momentum parameters: Adjust Bollinger Bands length and multiplier, Keltner Channel length and ATR multiplier.
Raw FU markers: Show or hide all detected fakeouts regardless of filters.
How to Use This Indicator
Apply to 30-minute charts for forex pairs, indices, cryptocurrencies, or other instruments.
Set your chart timezone to UK time if using Killzone filters.
Adjust input parameters based on your preferred sessions and risk tolerance.
Look for green “VALID BUY FU” labels below bars for bullish fakeout entries.
Look for red “VALID SELL FU” labels above bars for bearish fakeout entries.
Use the alert system to receive notifications on setups.
Combine with your existing analysis or risk management strategy for entries, stops, and profit targets.
Why Use FU + SMI Validator?
Fakeouts are some of the most lucrative but tricky setups for many traders. Without proper filters, they can lead to false entries and losses. This script integrates price action, momentum, volatility, and session timing into one package, providing a robust tool to spot high-quality fakeout opportunities and improve trading confidence.
Limitations
Requires chart to be set to UK timezone for session filters.
Designed specifically for 30-minute timeframe — performance on other timeframes may vary.
Momentum is a proxy, not a direct SMI calculation.
Like all indicators, best used in conjunction with sound risk management and other analysis tools.
Potential Enhancements
Conversion into a full strategy script for backtesting entries and exits.
Addition of other momentum indicators (RSI, MACD) or volume filters.
Customizable time zones or auto time zone detection.
Multi-timeframe analysis capabilities.

Wickless Heikin Ashi B/S [CHE]Wickless Heikin Ashi B/S \
Purpose.
Wickless Heikin Ashi B/S \ is built to surface only the cleanest momentum turns: it prints a Buy (B) when a bullish Heikin-Ashi candle forms with virtually no lower wick, and a Sell (S) when a bearish Heikin-Ashi candle forms with no upper wick. Optional Lock mode turns these into one-shot signals that hold the regime (bull or bear) until the opposite side appears. The tool can also project dashed horizontal lines from each signal’s price level to help you manage entries, stops, and partial take-profits visually.
How it works.
The indicator computes standard Heikin-Ashi values from your chart’s OHLC. A bar qualifies as bullish if its HA close is at or above its HA open; bearish if below. Then the wick on the relevant side is compared to the bar’s HA range. If that wick is smaller than your selected percentage threshold (plus a tiny tick epsilon to avoid rounding noise), the raw condition is considered “wickless.” Only one side can fire; on the rare occasion both raw conditions would overlap, the bar is ignored to prevent false dual triggers. When Lock is enabled, the first valid signal sets the active regime (background shaded light green for bull, light red for bear) and suppresses further same-side triggers until the opposite side appears, which helps reduce overtrading in chop.
Why wickless?
A missing wick on the “wrong” side of a Heikin-Ashi candle is a strong hint of persistent directional pressure. In practice, this filters out hesitation bars and many mid-bar flips. Traders who prefer entering only when momentum is decisive will find wickless bars useful for timing entries within an established bias.
Visuals you get.
When a valid buy appears, a small triangle “B” is plotted below the bar and a green dashed line can extend to the right from the signal’s HA open price. For sells, a triangle “S” above the bar and a red dashed line do the same. These lines act like immediate, price-anchored references for stop placement and profit scaling; you can shift the anchor left by a chosen number of bars if you prefer the line to start a little earlier for visual alignment.
How to trade it
Establish context first.
Pick a timeframe that matches your style: intraday index or crypto traders often use 5–60 minutes; swing traders might prefer 2–4 hours or daily. The tool is agnostic, but the cleanest results occur when the market is already trending or attempting a fresh breakout.
Entry.
When a B prints, the simplest rule is to enter long at or just after bar close. A conservative variation is to require price to take out the high of the signal bar in the next bar(s). For S, invert the logic: enter short on or after close, or only if price breaks the signal bar’s low.
Stop-loss.
Place the stop beyond the opposite extreme of the signal HA bar (for B: under the HA low; for S: above the HA high). If you prefer a static reference, use the dashed line level (signal HA open) or an ATR buffer (e.g., 1.0–1.5× ATR(14)). The goal is to give the trade enough room that normal noise does not immediately knock you out, while staying small enough to keep the risk contained.
Take-profit and management.
Two pragmatic approaches work well:
R-multiple scaling. Define your initial risk (distance from entry to stop). Scale out at 1R, 2R, and let a runner go toward 3R+ if structure holds.
Trailing logic. Trail behind a short moving average (e.g., EMA 20) or progressive swing points. Many traders also exit on the opposite signal when Lock flips, especially on faster timeframes.
Position sizing.
Keep risk per trade modest and consistent (e.g., 0.25–1% of account). The indicator improves timing; it does not replace risk control.
Settings guidance
Max lower wick for Bull (%) / Max upper wick for Bear (%).
These control how strict “wickless” must be. Tighter values (0.3–1.0%) yield fewer but cleaner signals and are great for strong trends or low-noise instruments. Looser values (1.5–3.0%) catch more setups in volatile markets but admit more noise. If you notice too many borderline bars triggering during high-volatility sessions, increase these thresholds slightly.
Lock (one-shot until opposite).
Keep Lock ON when you want one decisive signal per leg, reducing noise and signal clusters. Turn it OFF only if your plan intentionally scales into trends with multiple entries.
Extended lines & anchor offset.
Leave lines ON to maintain a visual memory of the last trigger levels. These often behave like near-term support/resistance. The offset simply lets you start that line one or more bars earlier if you prefer the look; it does not change the math.
Colors.
Use distinct bull/bear line colors you can read easily on your theme. The default lime/red scheme is chosen for clarity.
Practical examples
Momentum continuation (long).
Price is above your baseline (e.g., EMA 200). A B prints with a tight lower wick filter. Enter on close; stop under the signal HA low. Price pushes up in the next bars; you scale at 1R, trail the rest with EMA 20, and finally exit when a distant S appears or your trail is hit.
Breakout confirmation (short).
Following a range, price breaks down and prints an S with no upper wick. Enter short as the bar closes or on a subsequent break of the signal bar’s low. If the next bar immediately rejects and prints a bullish HA bar, your stop above the signal HA high limits damage. Otherwise, ride the move, harvesting partials as the red dashed line remains unviolated.
Alerts and automation
Set alerts to “Once Per Bar Close” for stability.
Bull ONE-SHOT fires when a valid buy prints (and Lock allows it).
Bear ONE-SHOT fires for sells analogously.
With Lock enabled, you avoid multiple pings in the same direction during a single leg—useful for webhooks or mobile notifications.
Reliability and limitations
The script calculates from completed bars and does not use higher-timeframe look-ahead or repainting tricks. Heikin-Ashi smoothing can lag turns slightly, which is expected and part of the design. In narrow ranges or whipsaw conditions, signals naturally thin out; if you must trade ranges, either tighten the wick filters and keep Lock ON, or add a trend/volatility filter (e.g., trade B only above EMA 200; S only below). Remember: this is an indicator, not a strategy. If you want exact statistics, port the triggers into a strategy and backtest with your chosen entry, stop, and exit rules.
Final notes
Wickless Heikin Ashi B/S \ is a precision timing tool: it waits for decisive, wickless HA bars, provides optional regime locking to reduce noise, and leaves clear price anchors on your chart for disciplined management. Use it with a simple framework—trend bias, fixed risk, and a straightforward exit plan—and it will keep your execution consistent without cluttering the screen or your decision-making.

Trading Activity Index (Zeiierman)█ Overview
Trading Activity Index (Zeiierman) is a volume-based market activity meter that transforms dollar-volume into a smooth, normalized “activity index.”
It highlights when market participation is unusually low or high with a dynamic color gradient:
Light Blue → Low Activity (thin participation, low liquidity conditions)
Red/Orange → High Activity (active markets, large trades flowing in)
Additional percentile bands (20/40/60/80%) give context, helping you see whether the current activity level is in the bottom quintile, mid-range, or near historical extremes.
█ How It Works
⚪ Dollar Volume Transformation
Each bar, dollar volume is computed:
float dlrVol = close * volume
float dlrVolAvg = ta.sma(dlrVol, len_form)
Dollar volume = price × volume, smoothed by a configurable SMA window.
The result is log-transformed, compressing large outliers for a more stable signal.
⚪ Rolling Percentiles & Ranking
The log-dollar-volume series is compared to its rolling history (len_hist bars):
float p20 = ta.percentile_linear_interpolation(vscale, len_hist, 20)
float p40 = ta.percentile_linear_interpolation(vscale, len_hist, 40)
float p60 = ta.percentile_linear_interpolation(vscale, len_hist, 60)
float p80 = ta.percentile_linear_interpolation(vscale, len_hist, 80)
A normalized rank (0–1) is produced to color the main Trading Activity line.
█ How to Use
⚪ Detect High-Impact Sessions
Quickly see if today’s session is active or quiet relative to its own history — great for filtering setups that need activity.
⚪ Spot Breakouts & Traps
Combine with price action:
High activity near breakouts = strong follow-through likely.
Low activity breakouts = vulnerable to fake-outs.
⚪ Market Regime Context
Percentile bands help you assess whether participation is building up, in the middle of the range, or drying out — valuable for timing mean-reversion trades.
Above 80th percentile (red/orange) → Market is highly active, breakout trades and trend strategies are favored.
Below 20th percentile (light blue) → Market is quiet; fade moves or wait for expansion.
Watch transitions from blue → orange as a signal of growing institutional participation.
█ Settings
Formation Window (bars) – Number of bars used to average dollar volume before log transform.
History Window (bars) – Lookback period for percentile calculations and rank normalization.
